-Happy Ending- Bakugou Katsuki x Wife Fem!Reader

tags: Domestic, suggestive, fluff, established relationship, holiday

warnings: sexual touching, suggestive language, swearing, alcohol mentions. minors dni.

You forced your husband of 2 years Bakugou Katsuki to take a much needed break from hero work and to indulge in a getaway holiday on a remote Japanese island resort, which was favoured by pro hero's as well wealthy elites for its privacy from the general public.

Having made it to the island, you took note of Katsuki's continuous unease the entire trip. He couldn't find it in himself to relax. You had tried disabling his Internet access, offering him alcoholic drinks and taking advantage of the local hot springs. Nothing worked. Your husband was still physically and mentally tense....up until the penultimate day of your trip.

——————————————————————

"Katsuki, what's the matter? Why are you so tense?" you coo concerned, leaning over from behind his large muscular body.

"mmhm, I dunno, I guess I can't stop thinking bout hero work and what I need to get done when we get back home," Katsuki replied, shuffling back to make eye contact with you.

Stroking his defined jaw, you hum. you had always loved these domestic moments with Katsuki, which only really happened when you guys were together in bed, late at night like right now.

Katsuki moved to face you and pressed his face into your chest. "m sorry princess, I know how much you wanted me to just take a break but I fuckin can't" Katsuki mumbled while inching his hand up and down your exposed plush thighs.

"It's okay, handsome," you pause. "Is there anything I could do to help you?" you whispered, revealing in his touch.

Katsuki smirked against your sleep shirt and leaned up to quickly kiss your jaw. "Mmmm, gimmie, one of those heavenly massages, babe...please" He whimpered in your ear, causing you to blush.

"With a happy ending?" You tease already knowing the answer "tch obviously baby. " he rolled his eyes and gulped."If you're down?" ——————————————————————

"How does that feel, Suki?" You worked your soft fingers into his back muscles releasing tension and massaging away the knots "mmmhm fuckin amazinggg angel" Katsuki groaned.

Katsuki was rolled onto his back, arms resting under the pillows and stripped down to his boxers while you were positioned with your legs on either side of him, hovering over his god-like frame.

Katsuki was always adamant that your massages were 10 times no...100 times better than any spa could provide. Thus, he always begged for them when the hero work or leaning over his oversized desk doing paperwork casues a strain on his body.

Sitting a comfortable silence while you eased your husbands physical and mental tightness, with the occasional grunts and groans coming from Katsuki filling the room, you eventually had worked the entirety of his body, except where Katsuki had really wanted you to touch.

"All done handsome," you lent down to kiss your husbands neck while gently stroking his bicep.

Turning over to lie on his back, he tilted his head to look at you. "God, that was fuckin incredible baby...however I think you missed somewhere" he flashed a boyish grin your way while caressing his stupidly defined V line.

"Oh no, don't worry," you whisper salaciously, returning a smirk while reaching down to kneed his bulge lightly. "I didn't forget about your happy ending"

——————————————————————

The last two days of your trip went by well, and Katsuki allowed himself to fully relax by your side and take advantage of the time off while also treating you to your own happy endings ;).

boyfriend!rooster headcanons | b.bradley

synopsis: lil boyfriend headcanons about life with bradley bradshaw ft. fem!reader

notes: hi babies !! here’s some soft & sweet headcanons about boyfriend life with rooster !! just wanted a nice little post for my angels after today’s events. likes, comments, & reblogs are always appreciated. enjoy !! xx

Nicknames for him: Roost, Roo, Brad, Lee, stinky, honey, lovey

Nicknames for you: sweetheart, darlin’, baby, babygirl, my girl

Big spoon energy.... except the off chance that he’s being a big pouting baby and wants to be the little spoon

100% calls kisses ‘smooches’

‘Give me a smooch, baby’ ‘gimmie smooch’ ‘plant a big ol’ smooch on me baby!’

He’ll walk up to you silently with his lips puckered out and won’t go away until you plant one on him

He likes to place his hands on your cheeks and just hold you there while he gives you such a deep kiss you’re seeing stars

This man has a kissing obsession

He’s always placing kisses to your forehead, especially at random: shopping, cooking dinner, dancing at the bar, saying goodbye

He’s also extremely touchy. Every time he touches you, you swear you feel dizzy and lightheaded. 

He loves to hold hands while you’re walking down the street and just swinging your arms

shared hobbies omfg

Hiking, couples’ walks, watching shows together, taking a painting or cooking class together

When the two of you got into cooking during quarantine, he had matching aprons made with your initials on it. he even had chef hats made, yours said head chef (it was also a major pun if you get the hint) and he was the sioux chef

The two of you have so many inside jokes it’s insane

You’ll look at each other while out to dinner with friends and try your best not to lose it while everyone stares at you wondering wtf is so funny

Meme King. He seriously has the perfect meme for every moment

Tiktok references

“That was too good, let’s get the bill....purr” is something Rooster says all the time, especially after a night out to dinner.

I 100% believe that Rooster would let you teach him Tiktok dances, but you could never ever actually post the video

He’s really good at the ‘Up’ by Cardi B dance

Speaking of Cardi B, Rooster will sing along to Meg the Stallion, Cardi B, Beyonce, and Lizzo at the top of his lungs. 

His go to karaoke song is either ‘Kokomo’ by the Beach Boys or ‘Truth Hurts’ by Lizzo and let me tell you he crushes them both

Matching outfits

He looooooves to match your outfits together. ‘Babe what color are you wearing tonight? I’ll match it’. He insists that pink is your ‘couples’ color’.

He bought you a locket necklace with a B on it, and somehow managed to get his picture in it. You only take it off to shower and sleep. 

You got him that gold chain that he also never takes off.

Baths together

We’re talkin bath bombs, salts, bubbles, the whole 9 yards. He’s got a special playlist for the occasion and plenty of tea candles to decorate the edge of the tub

He likes to lay back with you between his legs - you can feel his heartbeat on your back. 

His hands are obviously holding your boobs, that’s a given. Just simple caresses. He claims they’re his ‘anti-stress balls’.

He’ll be softly humming the latest song in your ear, placing kisses to your neck and hair.

He’s got the loofa all soaped up and dragging it along your exposed skin

Obviously after bath sex ensues

Speaking of after the bath:

Rooster has you lay back, catching your breath from your session as he rubs lotion on your legs, helping you get dressed in your softest pajamas

God damn does this boy love to take care of you!!!

Brushing your hair, helping with your skincare, picking out your outfits, making you lunches for work

I believe Rooster is the most fun person to go shopping with. He’s pulling on crazy outfits just to make you laugh. He’ll do a dramatic twirl in the fitting room. He’ll randomly grab different pieces that he thinks you’ll look good in.

Beach days!!!

He loves to take you to the beach and have some fun in the sun 

He’ll make sure you have all the SPF coverage that you need, sometimes lingering on putting it on your chest so you have to swat his hand away

Getting to massage his back, abs, and shoulders as you put it on him

The absolute power move it is to watch him getting out of the water, muscles glistening, skin tan and knowing that that is all yours

Laying on towels and sun tanning

Getting to watch the guys play football

Having that swooning romantic moment of Rooster chasing you, grabbing you by the waist, and running into the ocean together (punching the floor rn)

Long walks on the beach of course. He’s holding your sandals in one hand, the other hand is holding onto yours. Hair blowing in the evening breeze

 He is truly the most honest, caring, and loving boyfriend on this planet

He’s holding you close at night, brushing hair out of your face as you talk about the struggles of the day

He is always, always there to listen. He’ll hold you in his lap on the couch, nod along as you go on and on. 

A supportive King!!! No matter what it is you want to pursue he is there right behind you, cheering you on. He is truly head over heels in love with you and would lay down his life to ensure you get everything you want in life.

Even if that means letting you paint his toenails powderpuff blue

:)

love love love how u push the clingy bf!eren agenda it makes me feel so nice 🥺 reading some of your hcs made mf think of bf!eren w his black, thick gf and he’s just 🥺🥺🥺🥺so in love with her and wants to talk to her and be in her presence all the time! they’re both in college but her major is more demanding than his in terms of hw so most of the day she’s busy running around campus and all day he’s texting you talking about some “i miss youuu ughhhhh” or send random twt memes or “have you eaten yet baby? let me come over ill bring some food” and then when she’s feeling stressed about school he takes her to his place and they have like a lil sleepover and watch movies and anime and stuff and like—

i got carried away bc im self projecting im sorry but yeah..pls continue pushing the clingy bf eren agenda PLEASE. i need it.

notes: never apologize, i love when people drop their ideas in my inbox !! also, confirmed u are my favorite mutual <3 PLEASE SUBMIT THINGS LIKE THIS TO MY INBOX, I LOVE READING PEOPLES LITTLE HC’s OF CHARACTERS!!!

eren is literally the best boyfriend ever like you can’t change my mind. he is 100% the type of man to send u a meme and then like ... check to make sure you got it. talking bout some "did u get my last text" type bssssss. like you got 4 classes in 1 day, no you don't have time to check up on his texts every two seconds. when you get home he'd be so pouty about it.

baby you didn't respond to me all dayyyyyyyy.

gimmie a kiss, i miss you.

with his big puppy dog eyes that you just can't resist.

if you do public speaking things or attend panels you better believe he's sitting front row cheering you on. he doesn't care if you aren't supposed to cheer, he'll do it anyways. he'll lean over to the person next to him and be like "that's my girl btw. isn't she so cool?"

and if you get stressed he's literally the best to have around. he's down for whatever as long as he gets to spend time with you. you wanna have a night out on the town and try a new food spot, he'll drive and pay for everything. he's also not opposed to staying in and cooking his favourite girl something sweet. he's a hot coco kinda man, so you better believe you'll be bundled up under like 10 blankets as u wait for him to finish what he's doing in the kitchen.

marvel buff. like yes ... this time is about u but like ... he'd still force you to watch marvel with him.

gimmie some brahms headcannons pwease

owo

- Brahms absolutely cannot stand to go outside. He will never, ever voluntarily go out if he doesn’t have to. He hates the feeling of grass on his bare skin and may God have mercy on whoever let him walk through poison ivy does poison ivy exist in britain?

- While he does know how to cut his own hair, after an incident where he knicked himself with a razor, he will only trim his beard with scissors.

- The poor boy’s burn scars start hurting really bad whenever it starts storming :(

- In another life, he would 100% be an English professor at a prestigious university who would accept blowjobs for better grades (c’mon lets be real here). And honestly? He either wouldn’t be able to keep a partner, or would do anything to keep his partner.

- In his universe ignoring that trainwreck that was boy ii he’s going to live in the walls, surviving off of rats he catches, scaring away anyone that wandered into the house, until he froze to death because the power was cut, or until someone got the better of him and killed (sorry brahms but youre a stinky boy :( )

- On a less depressing note, there’s an off chance that instead of that, Greta and Malcolm come back for him (with police) and get him taken care of. That boy is in need of SO much therapy. And when he was released from prison/the hospital he’d probably get put in a monitored flat and Malcolm would try visiting him

[nobody-knose--archive]

well, today i figured i didn’t have anything better to do & liveblogged the pingry ep. it’s probably a better stepping stone further into the tally void than incomplete demos, coming right off of complete demos, at least.

-from what i know this one basically includes all the mmmm songs that weren't on complete demos (andrew singing ones wahoo) & the expected demos that didn't end up anywhere else + just a friend. i also believe this one was recorded similarly to complete demos so i really have no clue what to expect for taken for a ride's vocals. anyway here i go

-the bidding sounds impressively professional to start things off, but i suppose humming isn't a terribly complex technique anyway. the intro feels a little longer th

-whoah there if that aint a marked difference in audio quality here we go

-guitars also sound different & i don't remember if this album has steve or ross on it i now realize

-goodness the mixing is wonky for rob's segment. the backing vocals do not need to bounce between channels

-why do they have kinda weird voices for the chorus. sounds like they're trying an accent or something. i can barely recognize who's singing

-the keyboard backing in zubin's segment sounds the same as usual, as in, it sounds so stupidly similar to the questions answered backing music that i'm offended i couldn't pick up they're the same for so long

-less echo on disappear actually. at least they still had the brass section

-still a weird sound on the chorus but maybe i can chalk that up to different mixing & more red

-outro sounds not super different. still very good drumming on display which will give me the push i need to decide it's ross drumming

-however i don't hear him shouting out the auctioneer stuff, and given that it was presented as a video during the mmmm recording, i might assume it was done specially for the mmmm releases, so maybe he didn't drum for this album after all

-it does have a greater similarity to the live performances even if the keyboarding is using a different synth

-well now. that's a real piano

-and as any piano will be when played that low, it's out of tune. very

-and everyone's singing? i can't hear andy in the slightest. this is interesting

-i mean i can certainly hear him doing plenty on the piano. but. it's interesting

-i suppose given the ep's hallmanac description, as a compilation of acoustic/one-take recordings i shouldn't be surprised taken for a ride is this different. but boy is it jarring. sounds incredibly different without the heavy synthesizing and complementary instruments

-barebones certainly. not much more of a way to describe it. that's what i expected just not in this way. i like the sound of this bridge though

-do very much wish i could hear andrew's actual voice. even at acoustic live performances he would sing at the very least. then again, that was years later i suppose.

-and it's only now at the final chorus that i realize, somehow, this is a piano-only song. no guitar, no drums even. that's really interesting. even the album version had some drums & bass

-red's singing isn't as impressive here. not as many high notes. understandable. bitch

-different rhythm on the quick part! bet steve feels lucky he didn't have to drum this part although i am hearing some sort of. pants-slapping? now that would be a sight to behold irl

-and that's the end

-goodness. be born. considering how this song was always & every time performed acoustic live i really expect to hear nothing here i haven't from concert recordings

-we're missing whatever the hell that skittery little shaker is called. alas i am not a percussionist & do not know the name of every auxilliary instrument ever

-rippin it up on the melodica bay be. a suitable replacement for whistling considering that never was all that good live. nobody can compare to bora karaca at whistling

-there's extra bass harmonies on display here. swell

-also no percussion i'm realizing

-da-da-da!

-but yeah normally ross uses brushes on a box/seat drum (also don't know what that's called!) for some good gentle percussion & it's not here. really hoping this won't be a trend because i'm fond of drumming even if it's from stebev himself

-bah (chorus) bah

-wait a minute that's not a bah! that's a doo! big difference! what are you doing rob

-i can tell it's one-take because rob has to take a breath in the middle of that final long bah there

-ooh dropping off the guitar there real quick are you? and not even doing the full outro too. good way to spice things up at the end.

-honestly maybe the reason i & so many other th fans dislike be born so much isn't even the country sound and weird subject matter, it's the fact that this song lacks a whole lot of the variability that might separate it from other music. in the album versions there are violins/fiddles, and the live versions... don't have that. maybe some halfway decent whistling at best. it just is what it is. especially compared to the rest of mmmm- g&e could often be more faithfully recreated on stage, but mmmm got to mix things up most of the time, except for be born. food for thought

-anyway. of all the songs i would expect to be absolutely completely identical (other than be born) the whole world and you definitely takes the cake. a delightful song. i should listen to it more.

-but yeah it was a toy orchestra piece long before a tally hall piece, and toy orchestra was & is nothing but silly little live performances. how on earth could they make this one completely different

-other than. the "punk rehearsal" i've heard of from incomplete demos. that's just. a thing i think

-oh hold on i didn't even listen to the end of be born there was a tiny outro with chat at the end oh that's adorable

-hey i can hear andrew's voice! nice!

-starting off with a full ensemble vocals, all sorts of harmonies in action, and a normal piano instead of a toy piano, so already i'm being proven decently wrong on this song's inability to be greatly altered

-other than that. i kinda like how it sounds as if they're stumbling over their words at points

-boy has andrew's voice changed hasn't it. i know i haven't listened to the solo albums so i'm not exactly one to speak but he really developed his singing a lot over time

-clapping live & not in a studio sure sounds a lot worse, especially when it's like 4 people max doing it and not a whole crowd

-zubin (i'm pretty sure) flexing on us all at the end there. good for him

-ayyyyyyy

-it's the song that's sure to invoke an emotional response out of me >:}

-it's also the song i was convinced had andrew vocals in the background (the badadum's between verses) for a good while. still not 100% certain it's rob instead but it's not like i can ask them themselves

-yeah i'll admit it right here this is the song i listen to when i'm going through emotional turmoil. not this version of the song, and no, i don't mean i listen to i'm gonna win or even the tally hall rock version of this one. i mean i listen to the cover of it from we think we're playing in a band. and that's enough on this subject!

-however given the above information yeah i am pretty familiar with this song already. not a new experience right here

-i greatly appreciate the heavy piano work. it's one of my favorite parts about the song

-oh and i should stop talking about that subject right there as well. actually i think i should just say nothing about this song in general. you'll see why in about uhh pauses video

-this friday or so? damn that's sooner than i thought lucky me

-everything will be fine! i'll be making it through!

-oh hello there. "ALBUM" is not a word beamed directly into my brain with great volume thank you very much

-so. it's the outro to good day done with weird haste. looping. no actual chord pro-

-this is. is this some sort of radio performance? what the hell is going on

-steven!!! hello there thanks for the confirmation & god is it surreal to hear his name truly uttered in the context of red rob zubin andrew. wow

-pingry school spring fling. how the hell have i never heard about whatever the hell this track is before

-wait- is it over? song listed as good day but it's in fact the outro to good day done on. a radio program maybe. and now it's a really strange sounding performance of yearbook

-i genuinely can't tell if there's a filter on rob's voice or if the micro- shit that's loud

-what in the hell is going on is this another radio performance or something? like ok yearbook at least was on songs about girls by listedblack but i really want this to be made clear soon

-all i really think i need to know about yearbook is that it's another rob "heterophobic homophonic" cantor angsty boy band song and. listening to it for the first time her. that impression sure isn't going away

-at least i get to hear andrew twinkling those ivories in the back. got a good sound. even if the mixing here is all sorts of wack. a song this complex should not be performed live with only like one microphone

-alright rob i get it you were in love with a girl- and it's over? ok

-live performance of just a friend holy shit hell yes hell yes hell yes for some reason i thought this would be the studio version but no

-i cannot imagine what this song will sound like with steve on the drums hell yes oh will there be banter will rob forget his lines will red say some random 4-syllable phrase will zubin be the best singer in the whole damn band give me an answer now

-already hearing some banter :}

-they're moving weirdly fast and andrew's already got the piano playing even in the beatboxing part. wowie

-ooh kick it andy do those riffs hell yeah

-"that sounded fishy... zubin sedghi!" i'm in love

-KICK IT ANDY

-AND ZUBIN

-and there's the drums! go stevie. go stevie

-good ness andrew just will not let up on the sick as hell keyboarding will he fukc yeah bro kill it

-rob sounds unbelievably tired for this i'm half expecting him to trip up the lyrics at any moment

-"i don't buy it" "don't gimmie that!" you say it boys. oh classic zubin line right there preserved on an official tally hall recording for all eternity, what a treasure this is

-hm isn't this a bit early to go into the pseudo-breakdown chorus? no it works. andrew still rippin it up of course

-and there's the tambourine bay be!

-buildup to the "oh snap" isn't as intense as it could get in later performances which i will gladly blame in its entirety on steve <3

-boy oh boy does rob's voice just sound generally different here. so young so so young

-shooby-doo-wah. well i had low expectations which were not quite fulfilled but it's technically more than what we got on the studio recording so. i won't complain

-THERE IT IS

-BARBEQUE SAUCE BAY BE

-what a fool i was to pause the moment he said it. silly old me <3

-no, no, thank you for coming! but hold on one second. is there not... one more track? technically not a song, technically something i think i've heard before, but if i take a step over to the tally archive...

-cell phone call.

-circus you say? if i had to guess it's the whole world & you given the 08 version of the song but that's a vague guess. can't think of anything better but my current answer isn't that good on its own

-ah! it's joey jo joseph. this wouldn't happen to be that phone call spoken of that, like, invited joe into the band in the first place, would it? i remember that story from an old bio or something, but it doesn't seem like the type of thing that'd be recorded & put on an album. hard to say

-pj? like a certain rob cator frat dude voice JP!?

-well well well now. i'm not sure what to say. i don't recognize that song they're playing as the outro. it could either be some vague listedblack or miscellaneous early tally hall song lost to the void or a demo. i wouldn't exactly know. anyway that ends the pingry ep. shorter than i thought it be, lucky old me. hope you enjoyed!

[ghouls-dream]

Well hello there, we talked about it and now I'm sending the offical ask to please give me some hc's on the ghouls (or even Papas) reaction to flirting. hehe

Hello, sweetiepie!!! Since we talked about this Im more than happy to write those for you. I had great fun while writing those HCs soooo i hope you enjoy it, dearie!

HC: The ghouls, Papas AND FLIRTING!

Papa Nihil: Since he's the oldest one and having the most experience with flirting and relationships in general... I'd say he'd be pretty open to it. Especially when he was younger - flirting with more than one girl at once?? Bring it! As strict and responsible he might be, he's also a great womanizer. Even now, when he's a man of age, he loves a little "no-strings-attached-fun", but that happens rarely since he is now somewhat "settled" and would much more prefer to have a little "dirty talk" with Imperator.

Papa I: In his early days he enjoyed a little fun at times, but I imagine that didn't happen too often, since he gives out the vibe of a really private, gentleman. Papa I could and would flirt with any girl he wanted to as long as she was his type - lady-like, elegant and extremely polite. Women that know how to behave and how to embrace their elegant self had always been attractive to him. A man of style would always fall for a woman of taste. So the thing here is that he'd be pleasantly surprised to see how the girl takes the lead without being too vulgar or persuasive. If she knows how to keep her "lady-like" attitute even then, Papa I would definitely follow the lead.

Papa II: Holy.Crap. Flirting with that man is like stepping on a minefield. You never know what will come next - will he burst in anger and call you names, because you dared to speak in such way to his persona, or he'd go with the flow and find this extremely attractive? Who knows!? Playing a russian roulette with a short fuse like him is not always a fun game, so if you have him in a good mood, he'd most likely take it further - even get physical and by that I mean thigh touching, chin lifting, cheek brushing etc. But if not - expect hell on your head and a lot of insults. Some women (guys) find this very sexy, but others don't so... It's up to you to decide how far you want to get things. Consequences might be surpising either ways...

Papa III: Whenever I think of Papa III I hear Britney's "Gimmie more" and "Womanizer" playing in the background and let me tell you... He is the embodiment of those songs. No matter when, how or why you decide to flirt with this one - he'd be more than glad to response. A lot like his father in the past - Papa III would enjoy having fun even with multiple women (or men) flirting with him all at once. He'd pay spcial attention to each one, but if its just a single woman he'd get touchy. A lot of compliments will be implied, a lot of "dirty, unintended jokes", playful smirks and all that. He wouldnt be surprised that someone flirts with him because he's basically doing it all the time without even realizing. Finger tracing over his "victim's " leg or any other part of their body, is a 100% sure! This WILL end in the bedroom, no matter what.

THE GHOULS

Dewdrop: IF YOU FLIRT WITH HIM, HE WILL RIP YOUR CLOTHES OFF AND TAKE YOUR RIGHT HERE AND THERE. Or at least that's how I see it :"D . Dew loves flirting with the audiance, just like Papa III and he's not afraid to show it. He's pretty open about it and very dominant when it comes to that. He's not a big fan of flirting with many girls (or boys) at once so if he does it it most likely be with just one. BUT if he is the one that's being flirted... He'd expect you to take the lead, either way he'd get bored and come to the conclusion you're just simply not worth it. Dew loves a little challange, enough to test his "victim of seduction", and if they fail - their loss.

Swiss: For Swiss flirting is like breathing - it's a neccessery, a daily task he has to complete. He's not like Dewdrop tho or Papa. He wouldn't be the first one to approach most of the time... EXCEPT if the girl isn't having him head over heels. Usually he'd be the one giving playful looks here and there and if the "fish takes the bite", Swiss will take this far. A lot of compliments can be expected. He loves a little sassy behavior - it triggers his inner need to dominate. Swiss is a master in making inappropriate jokes and his main goal is to make the girl or the boy blush to show them who's in control.

Aether: Aether is the one that wouldn't really mind if he's flirting or not. He's simply indifferent until the moment someone catches his eye really badly. He'd be a lot more shy and calm, wouldn't go for it straigth away and will respect the other person's needs. That being said - he has nothing to do with Papa III, Dew or Swiss' way of flirting. He'd let the girl/boy lead him, while he takes notes about their likes and dislikes. Aether will be more the analyzing part (if that makes sense). The best thing about him is that he'd smile a lot and be genuinely curious and happy to know more about the other person. Also he's a master in making people comfortable around him so they can get more relaxed, playful and confident, while he "attacks" them with compliments.

Rain: Rain is the shiest one in the group and that's no secret to anyone. Even if he likes someone, he'd much more prefer admiring them in distance, while Dew and Swiss encourage him to actuall make a move. Which will eventually lead to this happening, but that's rare. Most of the time Rain will get blushy and giggly each time he gets approached by anyone. What comes to flirting with him. He sure knows how to flirt, he's a lot to say, especially about the other person's eyes, hands or lips because his gaze is always shifting from one thing to another... And that's most likely to happen if he doesn't mess up his words and get all shy again. Some jokes and playful teasing might work to get him all confident again, but don't go too over-board.

Mountain: Mounty-boi is the one that will flirt mostly with eyes. Long staring (not the creepy way lol), lip licking and bitting, slight smirking... All are in his little "flirting-101" repertoire. No matter that he gives out the impression of someone really shy, down to earth and hard to speak, he really is a flexible and outspoken person. In fact he loves to flirt with a very specific type of girls and guys - the ones that are patient enough to wait him to make the first move. He loves teasing from a distance, but once he approaches you... He'll make sure to "bewtich you" (lol :"D im sorry) all day and night if things go too well. Expect a lot of smirking and body language signs.

2019 Fic Masterlist Part 1: The 100

Slightly inspired by @she-who-the-river-could-not-hold (and by that i mean, i saw her making a fic masterlist and was like ‘oh i should do something like that’), i’ve decided to share a masterlist of all the fics i wrote in 2019. i branched into writing for a couple new fandom’s this year, which i’m quite proud of, because prior to this year i’ve only shared fics written for The 100, and i branched into some new ships this year as well, after becoming rather disenchanted with a previous OTP. Read if you want, share if you want, hope you enjoy!

For who could ever learn to love a beast [M] (Becho) 

Echo is a werewolf, and she meets Bellamy the morning after a full moon, and they fall in love, but all the while, she is hiding the truth about herself from him. A bit of found family, teacher!Bellamy, first date cuteness, etc. Written for the first round of our first go at @chopped100challenge, the tropes required were 1) mythical creature, 2) coffee shop AU, 3) rain kiss, and 4) One character teaching the other to do something (which required physical contact. 

With stardust embedded in our skin [T] (Becho) 

Soulmate AU + reincarnation. Multichapter fic, following bellamy and echo throughout a multitude of lives (well... 2, at the moment, but there are a multitude planned), where your soulmark glows where your soulmate first touches you, and you also have the mark from your past lives that glow as well. So far there is a romeo/juliet esc story, a 15th century Salem witch hunting story, and a few more in the works. 

the brave not broken girl [T] (Raven & Anya) 

Also written for Chopped, this fic was for the first round of our second go at it, which was ‘canon divergent’, which basically meant we had to take a storyline from canon and change it. In this fic, Raven ended up in mt. weather, and was the one who discovered the grounder cages, freed anya, and escaped, where they then travelled to polis to seek Lexa’s help. the tropes were 1) somebody who lived in canon dies, or someone who died in canon lives, 2) sunsets, 3) protectiveness, and 4) a dichotomy. 

Confetti [G] (Lexa/Costia) major character death

ALSO written for Chopped. round 2 of 2.0, where the theme was canon speculation, which meant we had to choose an unexplored part of the canon, and fill in the blanks. I chose to look into Costia as a character, particularly her childhood and her relationship with Lexa. With the small caveat that she is observing the major points in her life as a ghost who is revisiting some of the most important moments of her life. The tropes for this round were 1) one character is a ghost (must interact with other characters, or, if they do not, they must be the pov character), 2) joke kiss turned serious, 3) a character is eavesdropping and their presence is revealed, and 4) a character is laughing or crying so hard they cannot speak. 

munuð [E] (Echo/Emori) 

Yet another Chopped fic, round 3 of 2.0 (listen... chopped is the only thing i write t100 for anymore okay dont @ me). The theme was ‘modernised canon’ which meant we had to take the barebones of a storyline from canon and transfer it into a modern setting. i chose the plot of gimmie shelter, where emori tricks everyone into testing on fake!baylis after overhearing that they wanted to do human trials, and also a slight allusion to wonkru. Echo and Emori are looking for a hedge witch group to be part of after magic gets turned off/starts being rationed, and they end up in an all women’s group that has some rather peculiar practices. may or may not include an all female sex magic induced orgy. the tropes required were 1) Magic AU (i chose to use the magic concepts from the show The magicians), 2) sex pollen, 3) secret places, and 4) character says something along the lines of ‘you expect me to do x?’ and then it immediately cuts to them doing x. 

and i’ll die by your side if you want me to [T] (Memori) 

Written for the Chopped holiday gift exchange for @justbecauseyoubelievesomething, where, in a double blind gift exchange, we were given four tropes and a few minor notes from an anonymous recipient, and then wrote a fic with those tropes, that fit a holiday theme. My four tropes were 1) based on a tv show (i chose Timeless), 2) soulmate AU, 3) fake dating, and 4) timeloop/groundhog day. In this fic, Murphy and Emori are part of the Time Team, working for a company that has developed time travel, when bellamy and octavia steal the time machine to go back and change history to bring Lincoln back. they end up in france, christmas 1914, and while trying to stop the blake siblings, emori dies, but then, the day begins again. Murphy is then on a mission to stop the blakes, and also to make sure him, Echo, and, most importantly, Emori, survive the process.

“The Oreo Cookie of MMA Shows, ignore the top and the bottom and focus on the killer middle” The UFC Fight Night From Florida

Joey

April 21st, 2019

April has been a pretty hectic month overall for MMA and we end...on a pretty so so note. If you view the main and co-main event on its face, this card is a TOUGH ask. Jack Hermansson vs Jacare Souza feels like the third fight on one of these Strikeforce cards from 2011 while Greg Hardy vs Dimitry Smolyakov is a really bad co-main event designed to once again milk off of whatever name value Greg Hardy has at this point. Look beyond those two fights and there's PLENTY to really take in. Fights 3 to 13 are really interesting from a divisional relevance standpoint to just flat out "There will be violence" standpoint. You have fighters like Mike Perry, Cowboy Oliveira, John Lineker, Cory Sandhagen, Jim Miller, Andrei Arlovski, Gilbert Burns, Angela Hill and then familiar people like Ben Saunders, Dhiego Lima, Carla Esparza and Court McGee.  This is NOT the worst card in the world, you just gotta be willing to stomach what's at the top of the helm. ESPN made a really honest decision moving this card down to ESPN+ but now it's just a really solid ESPN+ card to take in on a Saturday night. If you can handle some filler and a yucky co-main of course.

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1- If Jack Hermansson finds a way to beat Jacare, is he officially legitimate?  I mean I can't imagine a lot of dudes topping Jacare and David Branch back to back in terms of big fights at 185 lbs. Those are two high quality tough dudes at middlewieght and to do them both in back to back months? Hermansson is pretty young, surprisingly tough and showing off some versatility in how he can get things done. At the very least, he becomes somebody to remember going forward.

2- How likely is it that Jacare is allowed to sit out until a title fight opens up for him? Jacare has been promised (suggested) a title fight IF he beats Hermansson and so now I'm left wondering what happens if Whittaker gets hurt again or there's some controversy in Adesanya vs Whittaker in August or September.

3- Let's get the elephant out in the open. Greg Hardy is not a co-main eventer----but kinda he is. Let's be fair and point out that the draw on this card isn't Jacare or Hermansson or a surprisingly good undercard BUT Greg Hardy who brings in perhaps a bit of a freakshow audience. Let's be entirely 100% fair, Greg Hardy is the closest thing the UFC has had from an in cage perspective to Kimbo Slice. There's an appeal there; a charisma and yes a freakshow factor that other dudes lack. While Kimbo was a freakshow gimmick by one of the nicest people ever, Greg Hardy's a freakshow full stop. In a perfect world where contrition is legitimate and guys do the hard work to earn their way back into the good graces of the public, we may not even be having this discussion because Hardy is not in the UFC but as Joe Blanchard once said in the wrestling biz, "You can draw people to a gutting if it's for the right guy." People want to see Greg Hardy lose and until that loses its luster, he will be featured prominently.  Also again, Shakur Stevenson JUST fought on Saturday and nary a mention of his issues based on a fight he allegedly instigated by catcalling women which led to a dude getting dropped. "Keep the same energy" as a fella I know would say.

4- How much longer does the Greg Hardy experiment last if he loses? CM Punk got two fights, James Toney got one, Kimbo got two and so on so forth. How tight is the leash here before they pull the plug?

5- I don't know who is going to make me more uncomfortable on this card, Andrei Arlovski or Ben Saunders.

6- Mike Perry vs Cowboy Oliveira seems like a microcosm of what 170 lbs is. Win enough fights and eventually you're going to get somebody who is out of your league. Win that one and you get a title shot because who else exists to get one? Lose and they discard you into the mid tier shark tank of action fighters. Mike Perry went from Max Griffin to Paul Felder to Donald Cerrone and his "bounceback" from Cerrone is another Cowboy who is just weirdly violent in all facets of the game. Cowboy Oliveira violenced dudes like Carlos Condit and Andre Pedersoli before getting Gunnar Nelson and now HIS bouncback is a violent as hell Mike Perry. There's a purgatory at 170 lbs between numbers 20 to 10 and most of these poor dudes are living in it. 170 lbs feels like the one division where "action fighter" is a detriment designed to suck the life out of your career.

7- So what can Cory Sandhagen do to vex John Lineker? The dudes who have given Lineker problems have to be a) tremendous movers who can dart in and out of the line of fire and b) really good wrestlers who can convince Lineker that there's danger in pressing forward because the threat of the takedown is real. I don't think Sandhagen is THAT kind of wrestler and I don't think his offense which is very flashy is going to fit well with a dude who just marches you down, cuts off your escape routes and then throws his entire existence into combinations. That said if you go REAAAAAAAAAAAL deep into the memory banks, Jose Maria Tome found success with knees when he could commit to them. It didn't stop the rain so to speak but it kept him dry long enough to not be a human speed bump.It's been a long while since Lineker looked suspect to submissions and I get the feeling that if the gameplan is to sub him, it's going to require something real deep in the arsenal.

8- So the UFC is going to keep feeding Glover Teixeira to young dudes until he finally gives up, right? Ion Cutelaba is just really violent and really aggressive and not much else so this is a fight Glover would've won five years ago but now it's going to be very, very hit or miss. Ion can wrestle a touch as well although the one fight I saw him use a takedown heavy gameplan, Jared Cannonier was just like "Take me down see if I give a fuck" en route to Cannonier just pasting Cutelaba for a late surge decision win.

9- If there's an honorary wing for "Small Tough Dads", Jim Miller has to be in there. He may not be in the riding lawnmower division but that's because he's too small to reach the steering wheel. Miller's last seven opponents are absolutely insane; Charles Oliveira, Alex White, Dan Hooker, Francisco Trinaldo, Anthony Pettis, Dustin Poirier and Thiago Fuckin' Alves. All of those dudes are still in the UFC, two of those dudes are champions, FIVE of those dudes are competent top 15 lightweights (Hooker, Pettis has position flex, Poirier, Trinaldo and Do Bronx) and two of those guys are active welterweights. That's a man's man right there. He gets a bit of a breather in the dangerously flawed Jason Gonzalez. Gonzalez is a tremendous kicker with so-so fight IQ, so-so takedowns, so-so submissions and fights at a so-so pace. He feels like a guy who could be better than he is but just might be IN that range of good but not great.

10- So let's talk about what I'm calling "the UFC Fast Pass Fuckery" for a bit. The UFC found Marcelo Golm, gave him a super gimmie fight and then turned around and put him in there vs Tim Johnson. Johnson isn't "good" but he's big, committed to a gameplan and just kinda knows what he can do and knows how to do it.  Golm lost a decision to Johnson and his career hasn't recovered. Junior Albini? He KO'd Johnson in his debut and then the UFC turned around and gave him Andrei Arlovski. Arlovski is another quality competent big dude who knows what to do and how to do it. He Muk'd his way to a decision over Albini and Albini's career hasn't recovered. Arjan Bhullar lost HIS second fight after the UFC gave him a big time step up in competition. Sometimes winning fights early in your career, especially at HW, is a detriment. The UFC might've found a fun violent HW in Augusto Sakai so OF COURSE two fights in, he's fighting a very faded but kinda not really bad Andrei Arlovski. It's a dicey proposition but again, this is kinda what the UFC does.  Best of luck, Augusto Sakai.

11- Court McGee vs Dhiego Lima is the sort of fight that you normally see on a show that  has the stench of being thrown together at the last minute. It's the ECW spotfest tag match opener from 2000.

12- It's an AWFUL matchup but Mike Davis making his UFC debut is intriguing. It's short notice vs Gilbert Burns (two big issues off the jump) but Davis is a really exciting prospect whose sole loss is to the damn good Sodiq Yusuff. He's got pretty much every tool you'd want from a young up and coming prospect. The problem is he's a natural 145er fighting at 155 lbs against a dude who really should be at welterweight.

Save Yourself (20/?) - Platonic Ketchbriel

Who: Ketch, Gabe and an OFC What: The guys go for ramen and karaoke. In Japan. Because Gabe can. Warnings: None. Word count: 1946

“You should warn a guy,” Ketch complained.

“Would you have agreed if I had?” Gabriel asked, clearly already knowing what Ketch was going to say.

“Well, no.”

“Precisely. You’ve lived such a structured life. Time to be spontaneous! Have some fun! Besides, can you think of a better place to do karaoke in suits than Japan?”

“No….and it’s not like I can head home right now either,” Ketch admitted. He had no passport, and going to the Embassy was out of the question, it’d put him on too many radars. “All right, you win,” he grumbled but not really mad. “But you better feed me first. Traveling by angel makes me famished.”

Gabriel clapped Ketch’s shoulder. “Yatta!” he yelled out happily, pumping fist. “C’mon! I know a great ramen place. You’ll die and go to noodle Heaven, promise.”

The ramen place was barely a restaurant, the counter and seating area was as wide as the kitchen itself, made even more crowded by the three people frantically working to keep the steady flow of customers served.

“Irashaiamse!” they said in uniform as Ketch and Gabriel slid into two stools that conveniently became available only moments aren’t they arrived!

Gabriel had a quick conversation with the server closest to them that Ketch couldn’t hope to understand.

“I didn’t know you spoke Japanese,” Ketch said.

“I wouldn’t exactly be a good Messenger if I couldn’t speak the lingua franca, now would I?” he replied as a bottle of beer was set in front of each diner. “Now here’s the thing. This is a place that you’re expected to eat and scoot. So we’re going to do just that. You can thank me when we’re on our way to karaoke.”

Any commentary Ketch might have had died on his tongue as two giant bowls of ramen were placed in front of them with efficiency.

“This smells amazing,” Ketch said as he grabbed for his chopsticks.

“I’m telling you,” Gabriel said. “Nothing like the real thing. And oh yeah – slurping is good. Slurping is encouraged. Slurp like you haven’t slurped since it was beaten out of you when you were nine years old.”

“I never!” Ketch protested as he took his first tentative sip of the broth.

Ten minutes later, he totally did.

*

“Okay, was that not awesome?” Gabriel asked as they headed the few blocks down to the karaoke parlor.

“It was,” Ketch allowed. “But you do realize you have now ruined ramen for me, right? How could I ever possibly hope to eat ramen in the states after having this experience? There’s nothing that compares.”

“Impossible,” Gabriel dismissed. “It just gives us an excuse to go hunting for a better place.”

“Once your Grace has replenished.”

“But moooooooooooom!” he whined.

“Did you just mum me?”

Gabriel grinned “Sure did.”

“When did I marry your Father? I want alimony! Surely he could at least spare me a title or something.”

“I’ll have to ask Him the next time I see Him.”

“You do that,” Ketch said, before growing a little more serious. “Would you, if you could? I understand He can be difficult to track down.” He’d heard the chatter about the Winchesters having made contact with God, but wasn’t exactly in a position to ask them about it.

“Oh look!” Gabriel said as they arrived at the non-descript building. “Here we are! It’s on the second floor! Follow me.”

Ketch filed that away for later. There would be a time and place for that conversation, but now wasn’t it. Then again, he knew he’d be the same way if their roles had been reversed. He didn’t particular care for talking about his own family and he hadn’t had eons for disappointment and resentment to simmer either.

“I somehow expected more,” Ketch said as he eyed the simple space. There was a couch and a few low tables for drinks in a main area with a large screen set up and some smaller spaces off to one side that presumably could be rented out if you so desired. It was still early in the evening, so even though he could hear some music coming from one of the private spaces, the place was otherwise quiet.

“Do you need more?”

“No, I suppose not.”

Gabriel paid the rental space for the public space and ordered a bottle of sake to start out with. Once the alcohol had come, he poured a round for them both. “Rule number one: you come here to make friends. Rule number two: rule number one is a hell of a lot easier when you’re buzzed, so start drinking.”

“Kanpai,” Ketch said as he started drinking his first glass. He hadn’t had sake very often, but it was refreshingly light. He could see the appeal.

Just then another group entered the room. It was a mixed group of salaryman, including a couple of obvious gaijin like them.

“Hey!” Gabriel said offering them a wave.

Ketch was feeling a little more demure – what if this group of people didn’t want to be bothered?

“Good evening,” Ketch said with a polite nod.

One of the two women in the group lit up. “Oh my God!” she said delighted. “It’s been ages since I’ve been able to chat with someone from home that wasn’t on a telephone or a Skype screen!”

“Please forgive Laura,” one of the others said. “She is…” the salarymen looked between each other. “Excitable.”

“No trouble at all,” Ketch assured them. “I know that feeling well.”

Lauara was slightly above average in height, dark brown hair held in a work-appropriate bun and dressed in a stylish business suit.  “Sorry for my exuberance. I’ve been having a bit of homesickness lately.”

“How long since you’ve been home?” Ketch asked.

“Seven months,” she said. “I’ll go home during Golden Week. It just takes so long to get there that I might as well make it count. What about you?”

“It’s been maybe 9 months? I’m not sure when I’ll make it back home,” he said honestly.

“Yeah?” Laura asked. “Why not?”

Before Ketch could come up with an excuse, Gabriel came to the rescue.

“C’mon,” Gabriel said. “You owe me a song!”

“But I’m not even drunk yet!” Ketch protested.

“You didn’t specify that as one of the terms! So man up and let’s do this.”

Ketch groaned, but got to his feet.

“All right,” he said. “What are we singing?”

*

Don’t Stop Believing lead into various American classics that everyone seemed to know until Ketch got drunk enough to not mind trying to make a fool of himself by singing along to the Japanese phonetically.

As the night had worn on and drinks emptied, Laura had become progressively more handsy – something Ketch found himself increasingly not minding. She’d excused herself to the ladies room when Gabriel stole her seat.

“You know there’s a love hotel only a few blocks from here?” Gabriel said just low enough for only Ketch to hear.

“A what?” Ketch asked.

“Just like it says on the tin,” Gabriel advised. “You can rent by the hour but,” he checked his phone. “by the time you get there you might even be able to rent it for the rest of the night.”

“And how would I find you in the morning?” That Ketch wasn’t questioning Gabriel helpful suggestion told Ketch that he was, in fact, a bit drunk. He didn’t exactly mind that fact either.

“If I get lucky,” he said, “I’ll be getting lucky with you,” he said as he nodded towards a cute Japanese girl who kept sending Gabriel flirty looks from the other side of the space. “Otherwise, you can do what everyone else does: pray.”

“Pray?”

“Pray,” Gabriel said with a serious face. “Or, you know, you could call.”

Ketch looked down at his phone and made a “I should have thought of that’ face. “I don’t think my battery will last til the morning.” He hadn’t had a chance to charge it since he hadn’t expected to be whisked across the planet.

Gabe made a gimmie hand motion and Ketch handed it over. “Et voila.”

Ketch took it back and sure enough, saw it was back up to 100%. “Why didn’t I know you could do that?”

“Says the man always telling me to use my Grace more wisely,” he smirked. “Here she comes! Good luck, slugger!” he said giving Ketch a pat on the arm for good luck as he went off to try his own luck.

Laura gladly took the now vacated seat. Ketch noted that she touched up her lipstick and smiled.

“Welcome back.” He downed the last of his drink. “And now that you are, what do you say we call it a night?”

Laura’s smile grew wide, her eyes twinkling. “I was wondering if you’d ever ask. Where are you staying.”

He glanced over to Gabriel, who was now seemed to be well on his own way to securing company for the night.

“Sharing a room” she asked, and he nodded.

“I completely get it. Hotel prices here are absurd. We can go just down the street though? My girlfriends have been asking me to review one.”

“You promise to only say good things about me?”

“If you’ve earned it,” she said, eyes sparkling in mirth. “Oh, I will.”

He sent up a quick prayer to Gabriel – both to tests it out and so he didn’t have to leave Laura’s side – and sure enough, the archangel looked up and gave a nod.

“Shall we?” he said offering her an arm.

“We shall.”

*

He woke up the next morning feeling good. He’d never admit to Gabriel, but Gabriel was right. Ketch had needed this. He only wished that Laura could have stayed longer, but she’d had had to go to catch the final train of the night back to her apartment. No one judged you staying in one of these places, but he didn’t blame her for not wanting to be caught out wearing the same outfit twice in a row to the office.

Still. He’d loved to have had a third round before leaving the country. At least he had her number: she did occasionally travel to the states for work, who knows, maybe their paths would cross again.

He checked his phone and got moving, he only had a half hour before he had to vacate the room.

*

“Someone looks refreshed,” Gabriel greeted him.

“Someone doesn’t,” Ketch rejoined. “Rough night?”

“She kept calling for Dad,” he grumbled.

Ketch tried to not laugh; but failed.

“Ha. Ha. Laugh it up.”

“There are always gags,” Ketch offered.

“Why didn’t I think of that?” he joked.

“You’re just rusty. It’s understandable.”

“Rusty?! Me?!” Gabriel squeaked indignantly, causing Ketch to laugh even more as he pulled his phone out as it had started chirping with a new text message. He reached for it quickly, Ketch had given this number to almost no one, except for Gabriel, a colleagues also similar in exile from the Men of Letters that were even more disillusioned with his former organization as he was, another from outside of the organization from MI6 that he was owed a few favors from and the Winchesters.

“We need to get back to New York,” he said.

“But there are still so many cool things to show you!”

“And I absolutely want to see them,” Ketch said sincerely. “But one of the few people I actually trust has found Rowena.”

“You helped me take care of Loki, I’ll help you get that charm. Tell me where to go and we’ll go.”

Ketch smiled. “Thank you,” he said.

“It’s what friends do.”

What's in a(n episode) name? (Season 4)

It’s fun to play the guessing game of what all these episode titles for season 5 we’re seeing mean. I thought it might be worth looking back at season 4′s episode names to help form a base for our guessing for season 5.

Each episode has lots of reasons for a possible name so I bolded what was the stand out item to me that most obviously pointed to the episode name.

Also - I have knowledge gaps! Especially literary ones. I’ll update if some of you have edits/suggestions on things I missed. 

“Echoes”

A nod to the character echo

An echo is “a close parallel or repetition of an idea, feeling, style, or event.” In this episode we see echoes of numerous past villains and fights, but also the beginning of the conflicts that will frame this season. 

“Heavy Lies the Crown”

From The 100 wikia: The episode title is a common misquote of the line “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”, from Shakespeare’s play Henry IV, Part 2. It was picked because it sounds better.

Likely applies to multiple characters. Particularly:

Bellamy Blake. His tie-breaking decision on whether to destroy the hydrogenerator.

Roan. New in his position as king in Polis, dealing with an uncertain group of ambassadors including one who plans to challenge him to a duel.

Clarke. Learning how to motivate people to get to work repairing the ship, burdened by the knowledge it won’t save everyone.

“The Four Horsemen”

A reference to “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” a concept from the Christian Bible. 

I ended up on a really interesting dig through lots of stuff on this topic. But the piece that stood out to me was this: The Four Horsemen are released when four of seven “seals” are broken. This is interesting in how the show departed from this to make it 12 seals - aligning it with the 12 stations on the Ark and the 12 grounder clans. 

From The 100 wikia: The cult also used the hashtag “#fourhorsemen”, from which this episode derives its title.

It's unclear if this was the set designers/prop makers making a nod to the episode name or instruction from the writers. (Perhaps someone else knows more about which is most likely?)

The Four Horseman are typically portrayed as Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. All of these are portrayed in this episode.

Pestilence - Luna and her sick kru showing up at Arkadia

War - Ilian and company’s war on technology. The seeds of war between Arkadia and Azegeda are also sewn in this episode due to the decision to not tell Azegeda about Alpha Station only being able to support 100 people.

Famine - Only 100 people can survive with severe rationing, prompting the demand that Clarke make The List.

Death - the skeletons found in the fake Second Dawn Bunker. The Floukru members who died. The person Octavia murdered. Lots of people.

“A Lie Guarded”

From The 100 Wikia:

The title has two meanings:

It’s from the quote, “An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded.”[7]This might be a reference to Clarke hiding the truth about Alpha Station only being able to support 100 people out of the 500 Sky People.

It is also a visual pun: “A Lie Guarded” → “ALIE Guarded”, referencing the drones guarding A.L.I.E.’s Island.[8]

As the Wikia says - is very likely a reference to the cap on how many people can live in Arkadia. Particularly it seems like a reference to when Monty berates Clarke saying “you’re the one going too far and using the same old justification, it’s all for my people”. 

May also reference

the excuses Clarke is seen giving to the crowd of people for why certain people were and were not picked for the list

Jasper roasting Clarke for lying to everyone.

“The Tinder Box”

This quote about Arkadians the Azegeda: “This is a tinder box. One shot, and we’ll be at war.” - Monty.  

Arkadia going down in flames.

“We Will Rise”

note: apparently was supposed to be called “Fight or Flight”. But we’re going to stick with the final name they chose.

Self-referencing to their own quote “from the ashes we will rise”. In the last episode what seemed like their only hope for survival went up in flames. 

The focus of this episode is the need to bring hydrazene to Becca’s lab so that they can get to space to create nightblood syrum. In this case “rise” is to rise up through the atmosphere into outer space. 

“Gimme Shelter”

A reference to the Rolling Stones song of the same name. The lyrics of Gimmie Shelter are about the Vietnam war and the the horrors that came with that war. 

This is the first episode where black rain comes down, causing a stampede towards the current source of shelter. We see the horrors of what happens when shelter isn’t found.

“God Complex”

Reminder: a God Complex references someone who believe they are above the rules of society and should be given special consideration.

Many people. Particularly:

Abby for experimenting on humans. 

Clarke for ignoring the group and injecting herself with the experimental nightblood serum.

Abby again for ignoring the group and breaking the machine they would have used to test Clarke. 

Emori, for being discovered for having lied to the group about the identity of the grounder that was killed.

The connection between Second Dawn Bunker and the Grounder culture being revealed through a Grounder Prayer. (Niylah saying “From the ashes, we will rise” at the funeral for the people who died in the black rain). This is another visual pun: the Second Dawn Bunker is revealed to be an underground complex under a place of worship.

“DNR”

“DNR” stands for “Do Not Resuscitate”, which is used in the medical field to indicate that a patient does not want CPR or any advanced cardiac life support if their heart stops.

This episode features multiple characters in one form or another saying they don’t intend to live past praimfire. They include Jasper, Raven, and Harper and a few others.  

“Die All, Die Merrily”

A second reference to Shakespeare. This time it's King Henry the Fourth Part 1. The full line is: “Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily.” 

A reference to the conclave that dominates this episode where multiple reoccurring guest stars and one main cast member die.

Numerous pieces of the play appear in a variety of forms in this episode. 

Scenes from the climatic battle of this play are also similar to the fight in the show.

Apparently a reference to Octavia being Henry IV? but I don’t know enough about the play to pick that out.

“The Other Side”

This episodes name refers to the saying “See you on the other side” which is said by numerous characters throughout the series, but especially Jasper - including before he was supposed to die in the pilot.

This quote is said by Jasper to Monty before he dies.

Another visual pun: different factions are trying to get to the other side of the second dawn bunker doorway.

“The Chosen”

Skaikru must choose who will stay in the second dawn bunker.

Possibly a reference to Judaism and the “chosen people”. However I do not know enough about this religion to speak to any quotes or finer points on this.

“Praimfaya”

The villain of the season arrives.

Some quick thoughts on the name versus episode content

1. I know we are drawn to point to an episode name and say “it’s about that individual” in the case of Season 4 when I look at all the things I bolded... they seem to really speak about the delinquent's relationship with the villain for the season.

The names are about how the strife incurred on the delinquents by the villain (”DNR”, “The Other Side”, “Gimmie Shelter”), how our heroes are planning to defeat the villain ( “A Lie Guarded”, ”God Complex”, “We Will Rise”), how their plans failed (“Heavy Lies the Crown”, “The Four Horseman”, “The Tinder Box”) and then at the very end the name of the villain (”Praimfire”). 

I might be shoehorning some of those in.

2. The writers like their visual puns (”God Complex”, “A Lie Guarded”, “The Other Side”)

3. Interesting that they did two Shakespeare quotes from plays that bookend each other. 

Anyways that’s it. Let me know if I missed anything.

Hi I'm gonna need you to tell me a one syllable word that both describes you and rhymes with tangerine because every single time I see you in my notes (and you've been following me for a WHILE) I go 🎶 Stacy's tangerine is really really mean🎶 to the tune of Stacy's mom and I'm assuming you're not mean so gimmie some help here

Lol no, keep it that way I’m a bad person 😛 in all seriousness, tangerine rhymes with few adjectives that suit me, for I am not lean, green, nor a bean. However, “a small pinto bean” fits the syllables for “really really mean”, and I’m 100% on board with you calling me that as well because that would be funny. Thanks for asking, though, even though I can’t be much help.

On a side note, shutterstock images of cartoon tangerines are top tier, in case you ever wanted to know 🍊

Green brought the note to Red. "Hey wanna play?""Oh! Decrypting? Gimmie!" Red takes it and smiles. "The quick brown fox jumps over 13 lazy dogs. Well good job getting all the letters.

If your still doing that drabble thing - STEO HATE SEX!! Ugghhh yass

Hi anon, I’ve actually gotten this request a couple of times, and the only reason I’m reluctant to fill it as a drabble is because I have a fic-length steo hatefuck in the works. You can read the beginning of it here if you want. Smut just takes me a lot longer to write than other things, although I’m trying to get faster. x3

If you’ve got some kind of specific thing in mind I can try to fill it in a 100-500 word drabble. Just gimmie a bit more info. (Psst this goes for other ships too: sceo, scackson, sterek etc. - just note that I do NOT take requests for any canon ships. They bore the crap out of me.)

[http-rory-blog]

helo there palios, it’s super nice to meet ya’ll/be a member of this group. you all seem so damn sweet? like? already in love over here?? anywho, the name is rachel, twenty years old and a member of the gmt+1 timezone. this little shitbag right here is loml rowan rory, who i’m excited to further develop with ya’ll.  you know the drill, below the cut will be a series of bullet point information about rory herself, followed by whats probably me rambling about possible plots with a lot of ‘???’ here, there and everywhere. 

i saw VICTORIA JUSTICE today walking around the fair. Wait, no that was ROWAN 'RORY ANDERSON, the TWENTY-ONE year old CISFEMALE. i’ve heard SHE is currently a BAKER in Clairemont and people say they’re AUDACIOUS & QUICK-WITTED. Watch out though because i’m sure that i’ve also heard people say that they’re SHORT-TEMPERED & CONCEALED.

TW: MENTIONS OF VERBAL ABUSE.

rory, as she prefers to be referred as, was born and raised in clairemont. to this day, she’s still to ever even leave the small town. having never ventured beyond it’s welcoming signs even for a vacation. 

once upon a time, rory did have a smooth-going home-life, her mother and father were over the moon with the blessing of a beautiful baby girl. though it wasn’t to last long, with rory being a colic baby, it drove her father absolutely mad. he couldn’t stand the constant crying, and therefore tried to refrain from being in their home as often as he could, leaving his wife to do all the hard work.

cutting to the chase, he began to drink to cope with the situation. which eventually, resulted in him getting fired from his job when he turned up to work entirely out of it. which unsurprisingly, only furthered his depressive state and need to sooth the pain with alcoholic substances.

around this time, he was never cruel or abusive toward rory or her mother, he did love them. however, he was unable to see through his depressive state he was quickly falling into and became nothing more than a deadbeat; a shell of a person he used to be.

it took years before rory’s mother had had enough, packing her bags one day and walking out the door. it seemed she packed everything, wiped the house clean of anything that was once hers, that was, everything but rory.

for days, the little girl waited day in, day out for her mother’s return; but it never came. when this reality did hit her, it hit her hard. rory was physically unable to understand why her mother left her behind, what she had done so wrong to deserve it.

since her mother left, rory and her father barely got along; with him refusing to do anything but watch television and sit on his ass all day, it left them struggling to make amends meet at times. as soon as she came of age, rory had to take responsibility, picking up a part-time job while in highschool to support them both

the further he progressed to practically never being sober, the more her father would often make comments toward the daughter he once loved and adored so much. it wasn’t that he was trying to intentionally hurt her; he thought he was being funny, amusing, spewing words at her about how she’d probably end up just like him, how neither of them had a future, they were nothing more than the scum beneath everyone else’s shoes, she is just as worthless as he is.

though, after years of saving extra pennies that weren’t spent on food or household bills, etc, rory finally saved enough that she could escape her childhood home, somewhere that once held comfort that had become a nightmare to return to daily.

also, she works in a bakery because somehow the sour lil bitch she is can manage to create some damn good treats tbh.

basically, rory can be pretty bitter, a bit of a pessimist at the best of times (although she tries to play it off as her being a realist), mommy issues??, tbh daddy issues too??, quite the lower class citizen, considering she any pennies she got growing up were spared on bills and food w/her father not working, doesn’t bother to try achieve or make anything of herself either as her mom and everyone else believe she’s going to wound up just like her dad so she’s like?? lmao probs so why bother try make something of myself. is very iffy about getting too close or attached to anyone; fearing they may leave, is generally a very daring person? like, if you told her to jump of a bridge she probably would like ??? idk man. also don’t tell her she can’t do something because she will prove you wrong even if it kiLlS hEr. 10/10 would fight you if you bug her enough, tbh even if you’re like 6′3 and 180 pounds she’d still try take you?? is she okay?? not rly but anWYay. that’s my smol feel free to hit up those dms if you wanna plot bECAUSE I’M A PLOTTING SLUT GIVE ME EVERYTHING. ALL THE DRAMA. I WANT IT ALL.

 i’m gonna throw out a couple of possible connections while they’re floating around my brain, but tbh i work better brainstorming 99.9% of the time so slide into my dms and lets get out plot on.

lowkey i’m always down for the big brother/little sister type of plot, that’s lowkey my aesthetic tbh oops.

it would be pretty cool to maybe even have her mom’s kid(s) around? like, i feel like her mom has 100% moved on and gotten married and is living her picture perfect little life, meanwhile rory is just being bitter af. 

i can only really see her having one or two friends she’s like.. deathly close to? like they would probably know bits and pieces about the stuff that has gone on with her dad, especially if they grew up in clairemont like herself. but these would be her ride n die kinda friends ygm??

on that note, give me just those like.. party friends? like people she drinks with or gets high with etc etc.

frequent customers, she works in a bakery so..?? idk?? just a lil idea. 

someone she used to be incredibly close with when they were young, but after all the shit went down with her dad and mom she pushed them away, to this day she still gives them the cold shoulder and the other has no idea why. at this point, neither does rory. 

hookups/fwbs, she’s not really a relationship person bc trust/commitment issues 101, but she probably fucks around a lot. 

lowkey give me a plot like ‘we said no strings attached but now we’re in knots’. 

there’s probably a handful of people she doesn’t get along with, she’s really easy to piss off and generally would just get irritated quickly by someone and decide then and there she doesn’t like them. 

hatefuck??? i mean, speaks for itself, they argue and bicker a hella lot.. but then always end up fuckin’.

loWKEy, this could go along w/the hatefuck or fwb plot but like.. gimmie a plot were neither of the muses like sleeping alone or at least like, they prefer sleeping together? so they’ll fuck n whatever or even make excuses to do so just so they get to wound up literally sleeping w/one another; like all snuggly and it’s just.. at least rory wouldn’t want to admit she enjoys it so she’d cover it up w/being like ey come over n bang?? 

this is a mess

okay so, i think that’s all i got for right now, but ima hit ya’ll up and whatnot because i 100% wanna plot with evERyoNE.
