#gonna be thinking about this in bed. HMMMMMMMMM

[itstimetodrew]

I want the AU backstory fic about Drew his Green Goblin dad

LISTENNNNNNN!!!!! don't tempt me. it could work......

I don't even care about the super villain stuff. I do not need to incorporate that. But Drew's 'any type of family you give him unlocks new or reinterprets existing characteristics' perk means I could do it. He's already got the Harry-adjacent vibe.....rich kid who has 2 friends at most on a good day because he is equal parts cool and punchable and pitiable.

But it would mess Drew up and I don't wanna do that to him 😭 Talented kid who loves the arts vs parent who sees that passion as wasted time and squandering of Real Talent. Getting advice about how other people just hold you back and you can only rely on yourself so he's burning out by age 12. But the burnout is also your fault. (would really explain why he gets so fixated on training and blows up at May for not being serious enough, he links success with misery so watching her avoid that pain and still gets results is a killer)

I know I just KNOW Drew would only be "allowed" to do contests for 1 year as a way to get it out of his system. But since he did so well, and if he REALLY wanted it, he'd have to be better the following year. It's only worth doing if you're a uniquely young prodigy, otherwise stop messing around and get started on an actually beneficial career.

ooouggghhh making up a guy to get mad at. I can't wait till this imaginary Drew Dad dies violently.

yap yap yap

summary . y/n and karina are up late, cuddled up and yapping about the most random things. it's all jokes and teasing until the conversation takes a turn, leaving them both a little softer than before.

pairing . karina x gender neutral reader

it’s 2:37 AM.

you’re lying in bed, wrapped up in karina’s arms. or maybe she’s wrapped up in yours. honestly, at this point, you can’t tell where she ends and you begin.

her leg is thrown over your waist, her head is buried in your chest, and her fingers are playing with the fabric of your shirt.

you should be asleep.

she should be asleep.

but instead—

"y/n," she murmurs.

"hm?"

she pauses.

you wait.

"…do you think fish get thirsty?"

you blink. "excuse me?"

"like. do they? what if they want a sip of water?"

"jimin, they’re literally in water."

"okay, but." she lifts her head, narrowing her eyes. "what if they want, like… flavored water?"

you stare at her.

"what the hell are you even talking about."

"i don’t know, i’m just asking." she shrugs. "hypothetically."

"NO FISH IS OUT HERE CRAVING A CAPRI SUN, JIMIN."

she giggles, snuggling back into you.

"you’re so stupid," you mumble, but your hand moves to play with her hair anyway.

she sighs happily, wrapping herself even tighter around you.

for a few minutes, it’s peaceful.

warm.

quiet.

and then—

"y/n."

"jimin."

"what if i was, like. a roach."

you sigh. "oh my god."

"what if i got stuck on my back and i was wiggling my little legs around and you saw me. would you help me flip over?"

"jimin, i’d get the nearest shoe."

she gasps, shoving you. "YOU WOULD NOT."

"i would."

"YOU LOVE ME."

"YEAH, BUT NOT IF YOU’RE A ROACH."

she groans dramatically, flopping onto her back. "you’re so fake."

"okay, what about me?" you nudge her. "if i was a roach, would you take care of me?"

she thinks.

for too long.

"HELLO???"

she giggles, burying her face in your pillow. "hmmmmmmmmm."

"YOU’RE TAKING TOO LONG."

she wheezes, shaking her head. "okay, okay. yes. i’d take care of you."

"i don’t believe you."

"i would! i’d build you a little house and feed you crumbs and—"

"you’d kill me in my sleep."

"well, if you’re a roach, you’d probably die in three days anyway."

"OH, SO YOU WERE JUST GONNA LET ME SUFFER?"

she cackles, rolling back into your arms.

you glare at her, but she just peeks up at you, grinning.

"okay, okay. new question."

"oh my god."

"if i was a worm—"

"jimin."

she bursts out laughing.

you groan, grabbing a pillow and shoving it over your face. "i refuse to have this conversation. i refuse."

she just giggles, grabbing the pillow and throwing it across the room. "too bad. answer the question."

you stare at her.

she stares back, all smug and warm and beautiful.

you sigh.

"yes, jimin," you mumble. "if you were a worm, i’d take care of you."

her eyes light up.

"you’d carry me?"

"yes."

"you’d feed me?"

"uh-huh."

"you’d sing to me?"

"why the hell would i sing to a worm."

"FOR COMFORT."

"OH MY GOD."

she giggles, playing with your fingers. "would you, though?"

"yes," you mutter, rolling your eyes. "i’d sing to you."

she beams, completely satisfied.

"see," she hums, pressing a quick kiss to your cheek, "you love me."

you try to glare, but your heart betrays you.

instead, you just pull her closer.

"yeah," you murmur. "i do."

her grin softens.

she tangles your fingers together, tracing little circles on the back of your hand.

and for once, she’s silent.

you close your eyes, letting the warmth consume you—

—until—

"y/n."

"OH MY GOD."

"okay, last one, i promise."

you groan, but you’re already smiling.

"fine," you say. "go."

she shifts, her cheek resting against your chest.

her fingers fidget with yours.

"do you think we’ll still be like this when we’re old?"

your hand pauses in her hair.

her voice is softer this time.

smaller.

you tilt your head slightly, peeking at her face.

her eyes are barely open now, sleep creeping in.

your chest feels warm.

"i hope so," you murmur.

she hums, snuggling in closer.

"i hope so, too."

you smile, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

"i don’t think you realize how much i love you," you murmur. "like, it’s actually insane. borderline embarrassing."

she giggles sleepily.

"you could be saying the dumbest shit ever and i’d still be here, looking at you like you hung the damn moon."

her grip tightens.

"if loving you was a sport, i’d be undefeated. world champion. hall of fame."

jimin lets out a soft snort.

"i hope you know that i’m keeping you forever," you add. "no take-backs. you’re stuck with me."

she presses her face into your neck. "mhm. forever."

"even if you turned into a gross little creature, i’d still carry you around in my pocket and tell you you’re cute."

she laughs, squeezing your hand.

you press another kiss to her forehead, your voice dropping to a whisper.

"i love you. i love you. i love you. i love you. and i’m gonna keep saying it until it’s the only thing in your head."

karina hums again, voice muffled against your skin.

"good," she mumbles. "i like it."

and then, finally, she falls asleep.

(you stay awake a little longer, just so you can memorize this moment.)

[drarry-with-a-side-of-harry]

THAT WAS ONE OF THE GAYEST EPISODES IN A HOT MINUTE LMAOOOO WTF

so i’ve just watched series 4 episode 10 ‘A Herald of the New Age’ uhhhhhh

wait wait wait so gwen’s gone for two (2) seconds and Arthur and Merlin are flirting like they’re in a school playground all over again lmaoooo i’m so done

so first of all they get back to Camelot and Merlin’s falls back into his concerned boyfriend routine 🥺🥺🥺🥺 SIDE NOTE THE KNIGHTS ARE JUST FULLY AWARE OF THESE TWO AT THIS POINT THEY ALWAYS FLIRT AND ARE REALLY TENDER IN FRONT OF THEM I CANNOT BE ARSED anyway Merlin asks Arthur if he’s alright and Arthur’s all sad and brooding 🥺🥺🥺 so Merlin says he was being quiet and Arthur just answers him with a snide remark but with none of the laughter and ARTHUR, KING, SWEETIE WHY WON’T YOU JUST LET THIS BOY HELP YOU???? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

SO THEN WE SKIP AHEAD A BIT AND OMFG LET ME TELL YOU I WAS CACKLING WITH LAUGHTER AND KEPT HAVING TO PAUSE IT. THIS SHIT IS GOLDEN

so Merlin walks in on Arthur asleep at his desk. if you’ve watched the show you will remember this scene because it’s too iconic but am i gonna run through it anyway?? you’re damn right i am because i am obsessed lmaoooooo

SO MERLIN JUST STRAIGHT UP BANGS ON THE DESK REALLY FUCKING LOUDLY TO GET HIM TO WAKE UP HAHAHAHAHHAA AND ARTHUR HAS FOOD ALL OVER HIS FACE I-

who fucking wrote this shit it’s too good man

Arthur jumps out of his mind and Merlin the little shit has the audacity to say “oh i’m sorry i didn’t mean to scare you” HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ABSOLUTE DICKHEAD MERLIN 😭😭😭😭😭😭 and he barely even cracks a smile how this man holds it together i will never know. honestly how Colin Morgan managed to deliver that just once without cracking up is beyond me.

OH BUT WE’RE FAR FROM FINISHED

so Arthur responds “you didn’t scare me, i was asleep” LMAOOOOO YEAH BITCH WE KNOW HAHAHAHAHAHA IM STILL SCREAMING ABOUT THIS

so now Merlin starts to laugh a bit but he’s holding it together. you know when you’re in school and something funny happens with your mates and you shouldn’t laugh because you’re meant to be working but you can’t not laugh and you’re all just snorting to stop yourselves from laughing??? yeah same energy

Arthur: “why’ve you got that stupid smile on your face?” baby i don’t know what to tell you anymore

Merlin: “it’s nothing. why were you sleeping with your head on the table?” and his face just drops to confusion HOW DOES HE NOT KEEP LAUGHING

Arthur: “i fell asleep while i was reading” uh huh okay sure thing

Merlin: “what were you reading?” this is turning into the most mundane conversation you’ve ever heard but it’s priceless because Arthur’s still half asleep and Merlin’s just fucking with him i’m so done

Arthur looks around trying think of something and realises be can’t lie anymore so this bitch just has to say “i am the King of Camelot i do not have to answer to the likes of you” LMAOOOOOOOO KING JUST ADMIT YOURE AN IDIOT AND LEAVE and Arthur’s almost cracking a smile at this point too we get it you love him

Merlin: “oh you’re in a good mood, you obviously got out of the wrong side of the table” AND THIS MAN JUST STARTS PISSING HIMSELF AT HIS OWN JOKE I-

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AND ARTHUR’S DEADPAN STARE IS PRICELESS

and Merlin explains the joke while he’s still laughing and Arthur replies “that’s extremely clever and funny Merlin there really are no limits to your wit now will you please just get me some breakfast” HAHAHAHAHHAA MATE WHEN I SAY IM HOWLING WRITING THIS POST

‘there really are no limits to your wit’ sent me

so Merlin goes to get breakfast and Arthur (who has loads of food on his face remember) uses the plate as a mirror OH BOY

THIS SCENE COULD NOT BE ANY FUNNIER I SWEAR

he lowers the plate with another deadpan stare aimed at the door. boy is FUMING LMAOOOOOOOO

he shouts Merlin and i will suck my own big toe if there is anyone in the castle Camelot that didn’t hear him MY GOD THAT WAS PRICELESS

me current state: deceased

OH AND IT DOESN’T STOP THERE OH NO NO NO

so the very next scene we’re at training Arthur tells the lads to pair up and Gwaine asks what’s in his hair. Arthur’s face is just a picture. Merlin helpfully answers that it’s stew. Leon asks him why he’s got stew in his hair. Merlin quickly responds “because he was reading” in that tone when Merlin’s being a right snarky little shit oh you know

the lads just turn to look at Arthur like “wtf man??”

Arthur takes a minute and says “change of plan. i think we’ll try something different” lmaoooo you just know what’s coming next

so Merlin’s used for sword practise

Arthur has first go and the lads are smirking at them and each other like “oh these two had another domestic” “about the stew this time ahhh right” lmaooooo

JUST GOLD

there was a whole two (2) minutes of just solid flirting, taking the piss and just generally annoying the shit out of each other i-

OH AND THERE’S MORE

it’s nighttime now and this cheeky bastard asks “would you like me to make up the bed Sire, or will you be sleeping on the table again?” with a little smile on his face HAHAHAHAHAHAHA it just keeps getting better this episode really is a gift

Arthur doesn’t respond because he’s all moody again and Merlin all but roles his eyes all he wants to do is cheer up his boyfriend 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 so he sighs “is this about Gwen” and Merlin looks kinda irritated and sad and Arthur won’t even look at him and Merlin says “we all miss her. you more than anyone” and Arthur cuts him off with “you can go now” maaaaate the feels

Merlin: “Arthur”

Arthur: “get out” oh so now you look at him

omfg you were happy earlier can you please just let him help you ffs you’re just making each other really fucking sad and it’s not helping anything

and Merlin leaves and Arthur kind of looks over his shoulder and almost shakes his head like he doesn’t actually want him to go 🥺🥺 and every damn time something like this happens i expect him to say “no, wait” 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

and now Arthur looks even more sad. well baby i don’t know what to tell you but you did just do that to yourself a little bit. just leT MERLIN HELP YOU ffs

SO Merlin storms in and dad Gaius is at the table reading and Merlin’s just ranting that he’s done being nice to Arthur and he doesn’t get any thanks and he’s saved his life so many times and all he ever does is shout at him. yeah boy we know aND SO DOES GAIUS because this man does not look up at him!!!!!! tell me that’s not Merlin ranting to his dad about his crush i swear-

Gaius tells him there’s more important things to worry about like the plot of this episode perhaps??? lmaoooo this is getting out of hand now. dad’s so done with Merlin’s lovesick bullshit lmaoo

so we move on a bit and Arthur tells his uncle that Merlin thinks Elyan’s possessed oh so now dad’s dead you value Merlin’s counsel huh king?? we love to see it

we love that Merlin can speak up a bit more now ehehehe

so uncle says that Merlin’s just tryna protect his friend and Arthur just looks at Merlin like “i believe you don’t worry but we need evidence man”

oh my christ we’re only half way through true episode i’ll try and speed things up a bit i think the main Merthur action’s done anyway

Merlin breaks Elyan out. arrives back at Camelot and walks into the throne room. Arthur’s drinking and reading something and just looks up when Merlin enters with the most glorious look on his face like “oh this bitch is back finally” and carefully considers what he’s gonna say to him 😂😂😭😭😭

Arthur: “Merlin! good of you to join me. perhaps i should fill you in on all that’s been happening while you’ve been... that’s a good question. what the hell have you been doing??” LMAOOOOO these two i can’t

Merlin: “i was...”

Arthur (cutting him off): “choose your next words carefully. they may be you last” pahahahahahaha alright king pipe down

Merlin: “i was searching.. in the woods.... for some herbs for Gaius” boy’s just rambling about herbs and says he got lost

Arthur: “you mean to tell me that you’ve been wandering around in the woods all night???”

and the look on this man’s face. WONDERFUL

Merlin says yes and Arthur asks what happened to his head because it’s bruised and i just knew it was coming ffs “i tripped over a root and hit my head on a tree and knocked myself out” this fucking moron. this fool i despair

Arthur just toys with him and offers him some food with him at the table is it a joke though Arthur if you actually just want to have a lunch date with him and Merlin realises he’s joking and we get another golden deadpan stare from Arthur and it’s the funniest shit damn this episode is blessed and Arthur just stares him down as he fucks off out of the room lmaooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭 and then to finish it off dramatically picks up his paper again so we all know he’s back to ‘important reading’ uh huh Arthur sure you’re not just thinking about that interaction?? like the rest of us clowns

fast forward and Arthur let’s Elyan go and somehow Merlin’s there again???

anyway Arthur talks to his uncle and when he’s gone Arthur confides in Merlin and Gaius i’m sorry but we have to stan some A+ development (also i really hope Arthur’s starting to lose trust in his uncle because i was sort of getting that vibe from this scene idk we can only hope)

Merlin’s in Arthur’s chambers that night clearing up and Arthur says “that’ll be all Merlin” anD MERLIN REPLIES “are you sure you don’t want me to stay?” UMMMMMMM FOR WHAT????? I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT ARTHUR WAS GOING TO SLEEP UHHHHHHHHHHHHH IDK MAN SEEMS KINDA SUS TO ME WHAT’RE YOU GONNA DO MERLIN JUST SLEEP IN HIS BED WITH HIM??? HMMMMMMMMM THE PLOT MAJORLY THICKENS BECAUSE ARTHUR DOESN’T EVEN FIND THIS AN ODD SUGGESTION BECAUSE HIS RESPONSE IS JUST “think i’m gonna get an early night” OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL THAT IMPLIES THAT HIM AND MERLIN WOULD BE- *BIG COUGH COUGH*

AND SECONDLY THAT IMPLIES THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THEY’VE DONE BEFORE I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION THE EVIDENCE SEEMS PRETTY CONCLUSIVE TO ME YOUR HONOUR

then they have a nice little joke about Merlin not getting an early night lmaooo we do love to see the bants

so later on Merlin follows Arthur into the woods lmao of course he does would you really expect anything less at this point?? and they have this whole why are you here?! no why are you here?! moment lmao

Arthur tells him he’s free to go back to Camelot at any time sweetie you really think that’s gonna happen?? you fool Arthur Pendrgaaon because obviously Merlin’s not going anywhere AND THEN ARTHUR’S BACK TO BEING A SELF SACRIFICIAL LITTLE SHIT AGAIN BABY YOU’RE KING NOW YOU CAN’T BE SO WILLING TO DIE AT EVERY FUCKING PROBLEM WTF we find out that this whole thing’s Arthur’s fault but this whole scene is honestly so nice and lovely and warm and he knows what he did was wrong and that he was a stupid young man 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 and the druid boy forgives him 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 and he’s CRYING omg recently Merlin’s constantly on the verge of tears but when Arthur cries you know some bad shit’s going down and the music omgggg 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 “from this day forth the druid people will be treated with the respect they deserve, i give you my word” 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i love him your honour

so then we’re back in Arthur’s chambers and Merlin says “you know that was incredibly moving what you said at the shrine” Arthur says “it served it’s purpose” because Elyan’s alright ARTHUR STOP PRETENDING YOU DON’T CARE TO LOOK COOL FOR YOU BOYFRIEND MERLIN KNOWS YOU’RE 10X THE MAN YOUR FATHER EVER WAS

Merlin says “you meant it” and then Arthur gets a bit snappy because he’s embarrassed 🥺🥺🥺 and Merlin says “i don’t ever think i’ve seen you cry before. well not like that. you had tears running down your cheeks it’s nice to see this new sensitive emotional side to you, it suits you” doesn’t it just baby???? 🥺🥺🥺🥺 then we get a classic shut up Merlin and this is the first time Arthur dares to look at him throughout this conversation 😭😭😭 and then Merlin mocks him *gasp* “i really thought you’d changed” lmaoooo “then you’re as stupid as you are ugly” lmaooooooo Arthur just tell him he’s pretty and leave

and just to finish things off

Arthur’s walking to the door

Merlin: “so there’s no chance that we could have a hug?” and he’s half 🥺 and half smiling/laughing ready to play it off

Arthur turns back to him and starts play running towards him and Merlin runs away and Arthur tackles him off screen aND YOU CANNOT TELL ME ARTHUR DID NOT GIVE THAT MAN THE BIGGEST HUG WHEN THEY WERE BOTH DOWN ON THE GROUND AHHHHHHHHAHAHAHA THEH ARE SO PURE I LOVE IT 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 can you not just imagine these two giggling and chasing each other round the room i-

[urcadelimabean]

17. the usual completely unfiltered horrible stream of consciousness.

I had a headache when we started talking but it went away, thank god. And he asked periodically if it was better, which I appreciated and noticed.

we were gonna talk for like a few hours and that became....six. well I never said I had good judgement. HAHA! NEVER SAID THAT.

There was some serious shit in here. I asked him if he was upset about something, if he would talk to me about it. Not like, to do with me or our relationship (LOL we are “dating” when did that happen), just something difficult in his life, because he had said he doesn’t like making his problems other people’s problems. But he said he would feel like he could share that with me, which is what I wanted. I don’t think talking about ones problems makes it “other people’s problem” at all.

He asked if I had talked to a therapist, and I told him I had, and how it had helped. We talked about whether or not we felt we were genuine with other people- I dont- but he said he thought the reason I was genuine is that I thought about everything before I spoke and he could tell I meant what I said. He also, when I briefly talked about my childhood and therapy and migraines/nightmares, said he thought I was one of the strongest people he’s met so far. Those were his words. Sometimes I have resented people saying that I’m “strong” for making it through a situation I had no control over, but given the context of our conversation and the way he said it, and what I know he means, I actually really appreciated it and didn’t feel weird about it or like he was trying to find a silver lining. He acts tender towards me, and I notice that. And it makes me feel really great. Real, genuine kindness is way more important to me than intelligence or a good sense of humor. He’s obviously smart (LOL.) hilariously funny, but I only really feel certain feelings when I know the inside of someone’s head is a certain type of place.

We changed the subject too and talked about silly things and flirted. Discussed, again, our plans to meet. He was talking about all the things he wants to be able to learn about me and literally.... “I don’t know how much I’ll have to prod you to bite me in the morning. I know about the evening...but not the morning.” I didn’t say anything to that but I did laugh, delightedly.

Question 1. Did I request (and then forget I had requested) this specific man by submitting a detailed checklist to a committee for finding and delivering Swiss/Frenchmen?

Question 2. Why does he think I need to be goaded into biting him? Also kudos to me-a-few-zoom-sessions-ago for just like.....SAYING that lol you go girl

Question 3. How many times can he reasonably mention how he’s trying to “seduce” me?

Hmmmmmmmmm.

We haven’t kissed (or even talked about kissing - thank god - I couldn’t handle that) but we’re just like...talking about sharing a bed. I dig it.

I love that we can talk about our workouts and it’s totally normal.

For a good two hours, he was unwilling to go get socks from his room to put on his slightly-cold feet because he didn’t want to get up and stop talking to me. I joked that I enjoyed his suffering. He said with a HUGE grin “I enjoy your happiness and you enjoy my suffering. We’re perfect for each other!”

“I feel so relaxed when I’m around you.” I feel the same way about him.

He also asked if he, specifically, did something *I* didn’t like, if I would tell him, and I said I would. I think it’s true, but I still sometimes have a hard time just like TELLING friends that they’ve hurt my feelings. But I am forming a new relationship with him, so I feel like it will be easier to form new healthier habits, and unlike some friends, I feel like he will actually really take notice. Besides, the older I get, the less shit i am willing to take and the more I really take care to respect myself (like asserting my boundaries with my friend in 2019), so the idea that I should be really honest about what I don’t like is important.

Wait. Does he like, really want me to bite him? He likes vampire movies. Thoughts are forming...the pullups were “sexy”....he wants me to throw him....mathlady gif.....can I throw him on a bed? I feel like that would be great. Throwing a 6′2″ man onto a bed because he WANTS me to.....ooooooooooh. Okay time to stop writing now.

*Addendum: the actual substance of our conversations also included the usual science and history: ocean exploration, ocean geology, historical fashion (yes really), monarchies...I really can summon the Devil to talk on any subject I want, for as long as I like!

[nobodiisstuff]

I-Can we-I'm sorry, are we not gonna talk about Gar? Not gonna talk about what he went through? All of it? From ss1 to ss2. I mean, there's a lot of things to rant about but I'm biased and I adore Gar so we'll go with him for now.

Keep in mind I'm going off what I remember I didn't rewatch both seasons and Google shit. This is how I feel and boi do I feel. Very detailed Spoilers.

Let's start from the beginning, Gar kills for the first time. Okay, we clearly see afterwards that he's shaken. It would've been nice if Rachel was more sympathetic when urging him to run but I'll take what I can get. Then, we get a little more. He's in the cabin he sees blood in his mouth, on his hands and the good ole scientist in the field. Okay, I'll take what I can get.

AND THEN, he almost dies. HMMmMmMMMM. Sounds pretty traumatic. Oh don't worry, Rachel's demon dad saved me so it's fine. (Side note. The way Trigon died. I mean fuck that. But I'll go into depth on another rant dwbi)

THEN, he dies. Actually. And...I still don't understand how he's still alive. Did Rachel work some vodoo, was he never really dead? I mean the characters do a lot of death assuming without even checking so that's plausible, but the point is, I'M PRETTY SURE HE WAS DEAD FOR A FEW MINUTES. And not just the ole 'I fell down the stairs and broke my neck' death. Noooo. He was beat to death by people he considered family. By a man who had taken him in. That's a little, just a little traumatic. Add that with everything he went through before and you got yourself a young man in desperate need of therapy.

Except no. Cause the show, the fucking show I swear to God, JUST BRUSHES IT UNDER THE CARPET. 'Let's give this poor, poor child who's already been through a lot some scarring experiences and then not mention it ever again. Yeah. No effects. Just gone. It's all in the past.' (Another side note, Gar turns into a snake. The whole time he's had his powers he's been nothing but a tiger and then, miraculously, he turns into a snake and there isn't even a reference to it? Conner asks what he could do and Gar isn't like 'Oh but I turned into a snake once...after dying...yeah wasn't my best moment' I mean I can definitely see and hear Gar saying that but no. He just, what, forgets????)

THEN, and this isn't that big of a moment but I'm bringing up everything I can remember, THEN, Rachel, his lady friend, almost cuts his hand off. Albeit in her sleep and it wasn't really her just the demon inhabiting her body, but then she proceeds to yell at him and its like, can this boy, my beautiful green baby, get a break? (Also Jason. Just. Jason. H-)

THEN, he's left in the tower. Alone. Aka, abandoned. Dick drops the responsibility of a whole uh being onto him and then just-adios bitch. After a 'fight, a biiig secret, everyone just leaves. Gar, sweet Gar, stays. And for why??? He stayed for Dick and Dick left. Dick, you're a fucking dick.

THEN, and we're getting to the big stuff, Conner fights the police and runs off. Honestly, I saw Gar turn away and I thought 'Is he running? Nah, he's gonna change and become Tigerman and run with Conner'. But he DIDN'T. Because, and I think we often forget this cause he's so insightful sometimes, but he's a child. A child under a lot of stress. A. Child. And now he feels guilty and Dick is being a dick so he's guilty, confused and alone. He didn't know that Conner was basically an infant, he didn't expect to see police brutality ( and he shouldn't expect that cause ya know...police) and he didn't know that his phrasing had to be precise.

But it's fine. He gets Conner, talks to him, they're good.

BUT THEEEN, (Side note again I love Mercy. Is that her name? Mercury? Merciline? Oh, yeah Mercy Graves. I love that woman. 👌🏽)

Anyway, BUT THEN, Cadmus breaks in shoots him with a dart (also why was there so much blood if it was tranquillisers darts I just-) and then he, and Conner, are taken captive. Oh Noooo he's lost his free will (that neck thing looks wholly uncomfortable BTW)

Don't worry though, he's fine. Until he isn't. Cause, TADA, Brain surgery. -insert exhausted sigh-

So we see them poking his brain triggering memories, emotions etc. I thought, 'Well they just want the tea on the Titans.' No. They don't give a shit about the Titans.

So now he's under their control. Play the right song and rawr I'm a tiger. Okay. At least he isn't killing people-HE'S FUCKING KILLING PEOPLE. Play the right song and rawr I'm a homicidal tiger. He kills that one scientist (and don't even get me started cause he was in a mind thing or whatever and I wonder if he thought he was attacking Rachel). No big deal. Another scientist. Its just her right? No. No. It. Isn't.

THEN, They put him in public. Who knows how many he hurt there.

THEN, The amusement Park. Siiiiiigh. Conner's all like 'I did this hrm hrm hrm'. No honey. No babe. My beautiful boi. Garfield did that. Remember?

So now Gar has blood on his hands. A lot of blood on his hands. And he's aware of that, but he doesn't know who, or how many, and that seems like the kind of information our baby would want. He such a pure boi.

THEN, Donna dies and, really? Like that's the best you could do? You just had two showdowns and you're like, nah. And it's just a lot happening in a short amount of time, that has to be overwhelming for a child.

And I hope we get to see some lasting effects of what he went through. Dick got his development, Rachel got her development, albeit rushed and a bit weird but whatever, Jason got some development (I'm still mad we only got bits and pieces of his trauma. You had a whole episode for a love story but can't even bother to give this boy more than 5 minutes of screen time?) Kory got, and yeah, Dick got the most development but like I said before. I'm biased. I honestly mostly care about Gar. And Conner. Sometimes Jason.

And can we talk about Rachel for a sec? She pulls her 'OMG I know you Gar come back to me hnnnng' vodoo and boom. Okay. She's a witch, she's powerful. I got it. You can't spell it out for me any more than you already have. But the fact that he didn't even think to attack her when he normally attacks any and everyone in his sight? That's upsetting.

I just feel they could've done a lot with that character and his experiences but they didn't and they've officially pissed me off even though I know I'll binge watch the third season. They shove a lot of things into a short amount of time and then don't address it as it should be. If I was Gar, I'd be curled up on my bed crying. The fact that he could still stomach turning into a tiger and 'fighting crime' after all he's been through and all he's done....ehh....sounds kinda odd. I get it, people cope differently yada yada but come on guys. This is your second season. We've given you a lot of feedback after the first. Can you just-I don't know-get your shit together? Just a little.

Also, side note, I heard what y'all said about 'Gar will explore his powers blah blah' but uhm. Since when did he care? Last I heard he was a-okay being a tiger. A little foreshadowing would've helped but hmmmmm. I'll take what I can get. I have so much more to say but I can't remember also it doesn't relate to Gar also I can't remember.

I have one request. Lies. I have a lot of requests. But I'll say one request. Please. PLEASE. Can we get more screen time for Gar? More development? Thank you.

[arca-na-na-na]

Welp I tried some fluff. Not sure if it went well

This is with Isaura and Julian because I need to work on things that are not character dissecting ficlets, angst, or more commenly both. Mildly self indulgent.

~~~~~~~

“No love, you need to pull them away.” Isaura chided. Her hands went back to their previous position, palm up and under Julian’s with an inch of space between them.

“Why would I ever want to do that?” Julian gave her his signature smirk.

“Because its how you play.” She quickly swiped her hands around to smack his. Once again there was no need for the speed. “The goal is to avoid being slapped.”

“Maybe I like it.” He leaned in closer.

“Maybe?” She teased with a “yeah, sure you are” expression. Julian predictably start to turn red. It was honestly very cute how easily flustered he was. She gave him a quick peck before he leaned back, resuming position. After a couple more ties he finally started to attempt it seriously. He managed to actually pull his hands back fast enough.

“I have to say this is a weird game.” Isaura laughed slightly at the comment.

“Aren’t all games weird? Here, I know another one.” Isaura lowered her hands and moved so she was curled against Julian. “Its called scenarios. Someone comes up with a si-situation and one object. You have to figure out how to get out of it without bringing in more than you have.”

“Is what you have the object or what’s on your person?”

“Both.”

“Sounds like fun. Uh, who starts?”

“I will love.” She put a hand to her chin. “Hmmmmmmmmm you arrrrre tied up and sus-suspended- hmmmmmm.”

“I’m certainly not opposed to that.” He winked at her again.

“Sounds like a good view. Give me some time and we’ll try sweetheart.” His face gained a very cute red tone to be paired with attempts at a response. Sometimes he was worse than her at speaking, not that she would be complaining. After another quick kiss, one that did nothing to return him to normal, she continued. “Suspended a few feet above a bunch of stones. Some are sharp some aren’t. There’s a candelab- candab,” She took a breath, “can-del-ab-ra on a shelf thing a foot away. What do you do?”

Julian leaned back. His face twisted in thought. “Are the candles lit?”

“Yep.” Isaura replied, popping the p and snuggling against him. His arm immediately finds itself around her.

“How am I tied up?”

“Your wrists are above your head.”

“How wide is the space I’m in?”

“I’m gonna say four feet across.”

“Alright. I get my feet on one side and put my back against the other and hold myself there. I move to where there’s slack in the rope and undo the knots around my wrists. Then I do the same thing down and drop where it looks best.” Julian answered.

“That was quite the ready answer. Have you thought about it before?” She shift up to catch his lips. “Or are you just that smart. I’m leaning towards the last one.”

Julian flushed under her praise. “Th-thought about it? Darling I’ve lived it.”

“Oh really?”

“You have no idea. It was a few years before I came to Vesuvia. I was in the mountains in one of Praka’s colonies.” He went on to regale an epic, “slightly” exaggerated tale of how a beg with a swineherd lead to a series of maybe unfortunate events with a goal of finding a hidden city in the mountains.

“Leandres took a swing at me with a knife when we got close to the exit. The swineherd was already outside but he came back in when he heard me yelling. After a scuffle o had him disarmed and the swineherd tied him up with some spare rope. We weren’t sure what to do with him, so we took anything sharp with us and climbed the last part. We had to get out from a narrow cut in the rock, but when we did, oh darling the view was incredible.” He rested his head against hers and extended an arm out, slowly moving it left to right. “The jungle was soo green and it stretched for miles. Plants were even spilling out from the cliffs. And the sky was brilliantly golden in the setting sun. In the west the light caught in a waterfall Turing it into a falling fire. It was so peaceful I almost forgot that ten minutes ago I was almost stabbed.”

Isaura smiled up at him. She loved how animated he got when speaking of his adventures. How his voice rose and fell from event to event. The way he grinned and stood up to act out certain parts bit always returning to his place by her side. “Did you ever find the city?”

“Well,” he chucked, “not exactly. We found this huge rock face in a shallow cave. There was a circular hole at the lower middle of it. When we looked closely it almost looked like there was symbols carved in it from hundreds of years ago. It could have been a gate, but we didn’t have the key. With nowhere else to go, we went back to civilization and turned Leandres in to the local authorities.”

“Did you stick around?”

“For a few days to get more supplies before moving on.” Julian looked out the window. The sky had turned dark and the people had retreated to their own homes during his story. Isaura hid a yawn behind her hand.

“I think,” she mumbled into his arm, “its time we slept.”

“I think,” he scoped his fading lover up into his arms, “I agree.”

He carried her up the stairs to the bedroom, only stopping to set her down in the slightly messy (but incredibly cozy) nest of blankets and pillows. He set the shirt of his that she’d taken to wearing to bed and her pajama pants on the bed. By the time he finished changing she was half asleep, eyes barely open to watch him. She lifted the covers for him to slide beside her.

“G’night love.”

“Goodnight darling.”

[nyaabie]

Thanks @jadorehale​ for tagging me! I’ve never done a tag meme like this one so this was pretty fun XD

last sentence tag

I love you too.

-From my 2018 sterek reverse bang piece cuz I’m taking a little writing break from pulling out almost 14k words in a week.

AO3 tag game

WHAT IS YOUR TOTAL WORD COUNT ON AO3?

151,764 words............. It used to be around 250k but I deleted this 100k wip that I hadn’t touched in 3 years and just didn’t like anymore....... what am I even doing with my life man.....

HOW OFTEN DO YOU WRITE?

Honestly not very? I kind of have these writing sprees where I don’t stop writing for like a full 2 weeks and spew out 20k words but then I don’t touch any of my fics for like 3 months so it really depends. Forcing myself to write when I’m not feeling inspired is such a frustrating process so I just wait for the inspo to hit me and try to do as much as I can in that time XD

DO YOU HAVE A ROUTINE FOR WRITING?

Yep!

1- List of characters with their background story (including hobbies, major life events, significant others, general personality traits, etc.)

2- General plot points/details of the story (ex: coffee shop AU, person A owns a coffee shop, person B works as a dog walker, person B walks past the coffee shop while walking the dogs one day and a dog pounces of person A, person A gets drenched in hot coffee, and so on)

3- Create a brief summary for each scene (ex: Scene 1- {Person A POV} person A wakes up and sees that there’s a hot stranger in bed with them. They start freaking out since they can’t remember what happened the night before and proceed to call their friend who was at the party with them to ask if they knew what happened. They start pacing around the kitchen as the phone rings. They feel arms wrap around their waist and drop the phone in a panic.)

4- Start actually writing the scenes!

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE KINKS/TROPES/PAIRING?

Kinks - I’m a sucker for praise kink, power bottoms, and just really sweet and mushy sex with a truck load of feels cuz my needy soul wants validation.

Trope- Oof I have so many but I guess my top favs have to be soulmate au, mafia au, high school/college au, enemies to friends to lovers, model aus, arranged marriage, and historic aus :P

Pairing- My boys Stiles and Derek are staying strong

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE FIC OF YOURS?

Hmmmmmmmmm I’d say my personal fav would have to be my sterek fic Fine cuz it’s not like any other fic I’ve ever written and really challenged me as a writer because it’s so short yet tells a story strong enough to move some of my readers to tears and I’m just really proud that my writing could cause someone to feel such intense emotions.

YOUR FIC WITH THE MOST KUDOS?

That would be The Little Spark which is a fic I wrote purely cuz I thought the sterek fandom needed more de-aged fics cuz they are just too cute and it currenlty has 2k kudos which is totally insane! Seriously, this fandom is too awesome.

ANYTHING YOU DON’T LIKE ABOUT YOUR WRITING?

I suck at fight scenes. Like. Dialogue and emotions and feelings are right up my alley but fighting and action and physical movements that can give the feeling of a real battle just don’t work with me. I don’t know why I just suck at writing action scenes.

NOW SOMETHING YOU DO LIKE (ABOUT YOUR WRITING)?

I like my story telling abilities. When I write a story to my full potential I come up with some great scenes and my pacing is really good when I don’t have a deadline trying to eat my procrastinating ass.

ship tag game…

First ship you ever read fic for: I think it was Italy/Germany from Hetalia back when I was an itty bitty 6th grader

First ship you ever wrote fic for: Drarry

Ship you write the most now: Sterek

Ship you read the most now: Sterek, Klance, and Malec

Newest ship: Klance

Rare ship you want to read more of: some more freaking gratsu (Gray/Natsu from Fairy Tale) would be great but I haven’t read fics for them in years

Your taboo ship: Uhh I really don’t know? I don’t consider any of my ships taboo but if I had to pick I’d say Johnlock? Cuz John is a married man but idek dude I just love all my pairings and don’t care about canon whatsoever

They never met in canon ship: Hmmm not sure if this counts but I ship Chloe/Nathaniel from Miraculous Ladybug and even tho they’ve met in canon they’ve had no actual interactions. I just think Queen Bee being with my shy tomato son would be cute XD

Your unexpected ship: Otabek/Yuri

The ship you always forget to give love to: VICTUURI I’VE BEEN NEGRETING MY BABES AND I AM SO SORRY I DON’T MEAN TO I JUST FORGET OKAY

Ship your OC with a canon character (if applicable): Nah I ship my ocs with each other not canon characters

A ship you’re embarrassed to ship: I think I have one but I’m honestly don’t sure? I can’t think of one atm

Your most romantic ship: ADRIENETTE BECAUSE THOSE LITTLE CINNAMON ROLLS ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER AND THEY’RE SUCH SWEET LITTLE BEANS I LOVE THEM

Your sexiest ship: Sterek

Your most tragic ship: Oof I’m gonna go with Castiel on this one. Those boys need major help.

A ship you want more content for: I’d very much appreciate some more Cherik content (Charles/Erik from X-men)

I tag: @pale-silver-comb ​ @novemberhush ​ @celestialvoid-fanfiction ​ @ajeepandleather ​ @gfdisterek ​and anyone else who wants to do it can say that I tagged them cuz it was actually pretty fun ;)

[writerachel]

6, 8, 12, 18, 20, 24, 35 and, 46? <3

holy moley!! thanks for all of these

6: what would be the biggest compliment you could hope to receive on your current wip? that people like the characters, or that they connected with them. i love creating characters, i love falling in love with characters, and it would just mean so much if someone fell in love with mine!

8: what author would you be most excited to be compared to?oh, see, this is a difficult one because……. i don’t/have never read a ton. which is weird since i’m into writing, i know. idk what’s wrong with me. so i honestly have no idea!! being compared to any published, respectable author would be an honor haha 

12: is your writing space clean or cluttered?my writing space?? as in the physical spot i sit in to write?? looool it’s cluttered bc it’s either 1. the couch in my living room (with my family in the room - my writing is usually not the best here) 2. the living room floor (if no one is home) or 3. my bedroom on my bed (which is always a mess). one of the only things i’m excited about for college is that i’ll have a fucking desk omfg

18: if you could assign your story one song, what would it be?I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK THIS OR 17!!!! i have playlists for every story so i’m gonna do a song for each. as of right now the “theme songs” are:blue moon inn: unchained melody - elvis presley OR aubrey - breadangvose, tn: i want you, i need you, i love you - elvis presley (((i love elvis presley okay)))

20: what book would you love to see adapted for the big or small screen?another hard one bc i’m illiterate. i read these books as a kid - i think one was called asylum the sequel was called sanctum i think? i think they were by madeleine roux idk but it would be cool to see that as a movie because that would be like my childhood coming to life

24: when did you start considering yourself a writer?hmmm probably when i started this blog, tbh. i’ve always written but calling myself a “writer” seemed pretentious until now when i realized that it’s not because lots of other people call themselves writers and they’re all really nice!!!

35: is it more fun to write villains or heroes?i haven’t ever really written a story that has a distinct villain/hero, i think i usually write anti-heroes, so i’m gonna say villain. bc i tend to fall in love with villains anyway

46: what hogwarts house would your protagonist(s) be in?hmmmmmmmmmeleanora: ummm slytherin luciano: probably gryffindorginny: i wanna say hufflepuff omg jimmy: also slytherin

ask me some more!

[vampirepatrickau]

hmmmmm hmmmmmmmmm i wonder whos been too unfocused to actually write hmmmmmmmmmmmmm anyways heres a drabble

Joe opened Patrick's door hesitantly, stepping in once Patrick was aware that it wasn't some rando coming in. “Have you never locked a door before, Patrick? Jesus Christ, man,” He said playfully, closing the door and locking it behind him. The vampire didn't move from his place on the bed, only gesturing slightly to sit down. “The party is shit, by the way, everyone's too wasted to be fun.”

“You're not drinking?” Patrick asked quietly. “I would've liked a beer if you grabbed me one.”

“I can go get you one if you want.”

“No, don't. I don't feel like getting drunk if you have to leave. Why aren't you drinking, though, I thought you'd be enjoying yourself, 'n’ shit.”

“I was actually kinda, kinda thinking about sneaking out with you and going out on some sort of date, tonight, right?” Joe reached into the pocket of his hoodie and pulled out his keys. He jingled them, a goofy grin on his face. “If you want to, of course.”

“What kind of date are you, like, are you considering?”

“Something cheap, like, like, we go to a park and walk around or something, then go 'n’ get a quick bite to eat, or something, then go home.”

Patrick thought a moment. “Sure, Joe. Does—does Andy know?”

“Yeah, Andy knows.”

“Okay, that's good, I don't want us to get, like, hurt or anything, and for him to not know that we're out at all.”

“We won't be getting hurt, man.”

“What if we do? I mean, there aren't any, any local hunters out, they're all here, so who's to say?”

“We won't get hurt, promise. I'm not gonna let anything happen, we can drive pretty far out, so we're out of range for most gangs, okay?”

“Okay, babe. I'm not gonna not trust you, y'know, but…”

Joe wrapped his arms around Patrick and kissed him, pulling him upright. They separated slowly. “You're cute, get dressed.”

“That sounds like a bit of an oxymoron, Joey,” He teased.

Joe scoffed. “Yeah, whatever.”

Patrick threw on jeans and a sweatshirt, then kissed Joe. “Okay, I'm ready, how are we leaving? Through, like, the window, or..?”

Joe took Patrick's hand and escorted him through the apartment, out the front door.

It was a pleasant drive, the two of them singing along to Queen as they got to whatever park Joe was going to. It went by all too fast, really, there was a sense of camaraderie that being around Pete and even Andy couldn't provide. Maybe it was because they were, like, dating. Or whatever.

They got out of the car and Patrick immediately went towards the bunk, opening it and pulling out two stakes. “You don't need to,” Joe mumbled. Patrick shook his head and threw one to Joe, then grabbed another.

“Just in case.” He said, testing his hold on the both of them before shoving one in his pocket. “Okay, so, like… was the party actually shit, or what?”

“I don't necessarily like Pete's friends, man. They're too try-hard. I'd rather spend time with you.” Joe closed the bunk, then took Patrick's open hand. “You're nicer, anyways.”

“Are you just saying that 'cause they hate my kind?”

“No, I'm saying that 'cause I hung out in the bathroom with Andy the whole time.”

Patrick laughed. “Are you cheating on me, Joe? Cuz it seems like, like….”

Joe chuckled. “If I were, I wouldn't tell you,” He replied, kissing Patrick on the cheek. “Seriously, though, of course not.”

“I know, I know. You're an absolute sweetheart, I don't expect you to.” Patrick thought a moment, then stuck out his tongue. “Dummy.”

Joe laughed. “Hey! You're mean, Rick!”

“It’s a vamp thing, if you don't suck blood, you wouldn't understand. Hey, Joe, can we not just hang out in front of our car the whole night?”

“I…” Joe rolled his eyes. “Yeah, let's go walk around.”

It was a nature park, entirely trails, and Joe expected it probably wasn't actually open that late at night. But, whatever, they could hopefully deal with the ticket, if Pete remembered to renew the license. Joe glanced at the plate, and the numbers didn't look off, at least. Joe half-pulled, half-walked-with Patrick to what seemed to be the main trail. The air was crisp, slightly too cold, but it felt nice. It was kinda hard to… to see, but Patrick could probably see fine, so it didn't matter. Patrick pushed up against him, his head against Joe's shoulder. So Joe put his arm around Patrick. They didn't actually talk much, mostly just enjoying each other's company, It was really nice.

“Something's off,” Patrick said out of completely nowhere, under his breath.

“What?” Joe felt too loud.

“There are… they know I know, I think. I think.” Patrick glanced around. “Yeah, yeah. Grab your stake, babe, there's maybe half a dozen.”

“How do you…?”

“It's like cat eyes, Joe, cat eyes. They shine a bit, maybe it's too dull for you, but I can see it.”

Joe looked around, moving away from Patrick slightly and pulling out his stake, finding himself seeing a rather dull glitter around them. “Fuck,” He whispered.

“If they won't fight, don't try to fight, Joe.”

“I'm not a dumbass, Rick.”

They kept walking.

And it took until they got back for any vampires to show themselves. Specifically, two were sitting on their car, one trying to open the back, and all three of them talking loudly to each other in very fake British accents. They quieted themselves, though, looking to the couple. They had a rather smug attitude about them. Patrick took a tentative step closer, grabbing his second stake. “Get away from my fucking car,” he hissed, then took another step forward. They didn't move. Patrick glanced to Joe, making sure he knew that they were about to fight. But Patrick didn't use his speed to go forward, surprisingly, instead going just into the brush and killing a vamp, or at least, causing a scream of pain to be cut off in a way that Joe could only assume was a vampire being turned to dust. It took Joe a few seconds before he followed suit, adjusting his grip on his stake, and looking to his side, then back, and identifying a rather close vampire. He ran towards it, hopefully taking the thing by surprise, and then threw the stake.

The hunter thought he missed his mark, but the vampire didn't get a time to retaliate before he started to turn to ash. He ran up to it, pulled his stake out of the vamp's stomach, and properly pushed it through its heart. He turned, and another was practically on top of him. His attempt at stabbing it with his stake went about as well as he thought it would go, that is, his stake was now out of his reach in the underbrush.

He managed to get his foot to connect, though, and kicked it just hard enough to trample his way into the brush, trying to find, at the very least, a sharp enough stick to work as a stake, if not his actual stake. Joe tripped as he tried to run, but managed to keep himself from fully falling into anything, hanging onto a branch to balance himself.

Branch.

He snapped it off of the tree, pointing it like a spear towards the vampire. It appeared to back off slightly, like the longer distance was more dangerous, even if it was a less sharp edge. He stabbed it at him, realizing that the hunter would be no match against the sheer speed that vampires could possess.

The gunshot that rang out from the parking lot told him that Patrick was probably having a significantly more difficult time than he was. It was almost tempting to run out and see if he was okay, it really was, but he had his own life to account for. After a few minutes of trying to dodge the vampire, Joe managed to land a hit, likely off from the heart. After all, only the vampire's arm had dissipated, the rest of it seemingly fine, although that was likely just due to the weapon Joe was using. He stabbed again, missing, and then again, landing another hit and a strangled cry, despite the fact that he only hit the thing's shoulder. He had to run, at that point, moving through the brush as quickly as he could.

And he was on the ground, face in the dirt. Shit.

What was interesting was that he wasn't being turned, or attacked at all. He flipped over, and saw the vampire pinned against a tree, struggling against Patrick.

“Who's gang are you from?” He asked, voice low. The vampire just struggled, so Patrick repeated himself.

“The—the Dandies, sir,” The vampire managed, still speaking in that all-too-fake accent.

“Who leads?”

“Mister Beckett, sir, please—”

Patrick shot him in the jaw, and the vamp was now a pile of ash. He turned slowly to Joe, and helped him up. “Silver bullets, must have some humans in their cohorts.”

“Who the fuck are the Dandies?”

“No clue. Must be from somewhere else, I've never seen such tacky costumes in Chicago. But they're all dead, now, I hope, so it shouldn't be a problem.”

“I thought you didn't like killing 'em. Vamps, I mean.”

“Did you see their skin, their eyes? They all seemed so feral, a bit older than most gang members, um.. I've done a, a good job of keeping myself sane, over the years, but they sure as hell haven't.” Patrick shivered slightly. “Let's get home, yeah? I don't wanna deal with more of these creeps.”

“Yeah, yeah, let's go.” Joe hooked their arms together as they walked back to the car.

It was four in the morning when they got back to the apartment to the start of a stern talking-to from Andy, followed by confusion as to why Joe was covered in mud and both of them were covered in scratches. They shrugged it off, citing their tiredness as a reason not to talk about it, Patrick cleaning up his cuts as well as possible while Joe took a shower to wash off all the dirt.

FLUFFY SHIT GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME What about Kirishima and S/O building flower crowns or something together? But Kirishima is struggling so S/O helps? Friend told me this idea once a while ago while writing and I just hmmmmmmmmm Or Kirishima taking care of S/O while sick or something? That scenario get me every time. I love Kirishima

This is so cute??? Its just so cute so I did both nonnie.

Because why not?

“How do you do this all the time?”

You looked over at the sound of Kirishima’s frustratedvoice. He was glaring at the flowers in his hand, which were falling apart andleaving a pile of petals on your bed spread. You smiled and started to talk,until a cough wracked your body. He snapped his head up, eyes wide. “Oh shit, I’msorry! You shouldn’t talk!”

You shook your head, mouthing, “Its fine,” to him.Holding out the half flower crown in your hand, you showed him how you were braidingthe stems together.

He grinned as he watched you. “You’re really good atthis. It’s no wonder your quirk has to deal with nature.”

You pressed your lips together and tilted your head. “Ilearned because of my quirk,” you rasped.

“Hey, c’mon now. Don’t talk. Didn’t your mom say notalking will help make your throat feel better?” he pointed out. You stuck yourtongue out at him. “Yeah, you do that ‘cause I’m right,” he teased. He brushedthe petals off the bed into your tissue filled trash can. “Okay, show me again?I think I’ll get this this time, honest!”

You rolled your eyes teasingly. Scooting closer, youtried showing him the knot again. “You’re gonna get sick if you keep hangingaround me,” you whispered.

Kirishima knocked his shoulder into yours. “What did Ijust say?”

“No talking…”

“Exactly.” He grinned down at his first successfulknot. “Now. Hand me some more flowers, yeah? I’m gonna make you the best flowercrown ever!”

[teamdoofus]

i have a challenge for you: all of them. for joss.

I WILL TAKE THAT CHALLENGE

1. Who takes the trash out? 

JOE OMG bess is a very anti-trash-taking-out just like I am

2. Who reminds the other to take care of themselves?

you knowwwwwww, I feel like both of them are very much TREAT YO SELF type of people, so neither of them really need that reminder, if that makes sense :D

3. Who is happier when they are out in nature?

NOT BESS. I REPEAT: NOT BESS. she gets hot and sweaty and uncomfortable and there are bugs and ugh no thank you that is all joe’s territory

4. Do they like to go in the hot tub together?

YES. hot tubs are an essential part of treating yo self (and bess feels v sexy in bathing suits)

5. Do either of them avidly follow a celebrity and/or fandom?

hmmmmmmm....... I think joe is the sort of person to proclaim that things like guilty pleasures don’t exist, so if he’s into the spice girls (and he is, lbh), he wears that badge PROUDLY and loudly, while..... I feel like bess would clearly stan beyonce. she just strikes me as the type™

6. Who builds a pillow fort?

BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER

7. Who plans the romantic date?

you know, I actually think joe knows to plan them, because bess likes being wined and dined, and joe knows how to be a romantic (while frank struggles)

8. Who likes to play with the other’s hair?

joe absolutely 100% plays with bess hair. he thinks it’s magical and so so soft

9. Who calms the other down when the other has a nightmare?

joe has nightmares that are pretty awful sometimes (and he aaaaaabsolutely talks in his sleep) and bess is good at waking him up and calming him down, usually with cuddles whenever that happens and he starts thrashing in his sleep (because he definitely sleeps like a log even with his nightmares)

10. Who wants their dog to sleep on the bed with them?

I’m gonna go with both of them, if they end up having a dog, though bess likes her foot room and her feet tend to protest that space being taken away from her :p

11. Who can’t sleep without the other?

bess, for suuuuuure. she gets so used to having joe there to cuddle up to that when he’s not there she literally goes and buys herself a ryan gosling body pillow (at which point joe of course teases her endlessly about how she ~cheats on him whenever he’s gone on a case)

12. Who is too nice and will listen to a sales person pitch?

both of them, at which point the other person jumps in to rescue them with the absolutely most ridiculous, awkward excuses, like joe comes to rescue bess like “honey, you were going to help me wax my legs, remember?” and bess rescues joe by saying something along the lines of “the microwave is on fire, could you come help?”

13. Who makes the first move to cuddle? 

they’re both cuddlebugs, I think, but I think bess might trump even joe’s inclination toward cuddles (at this point, they turn it into a contest to see who can cuddle the other person more, one that gets more and more intense over time)

14. What is their go-to fast food place?

basically any place (no diets, no guilty pleasures), but they both absolutely loooooooove donuts

15. Who likes to wear the other’s sweaters?

oh, bess LIVES in joe’s sweaters. they’re so  big and so comfy and if she just wears leggings underneath no one knows that she isn’t wearing a bra :D

Who is louder?

BESS. I actually feel like bess would be loud almost to the point of absurdity?? like at first joe thinks she’s acting. but then he realizes that she legit can’t help it. at which point he realizes they might have A Problem during family visits or in apartments

Who is more experimental?

both of them! they do their research and set up a day every month (idk like the 1st or sth) when they both present things to try out, no matter how minor. like one time joe suggests that they try this new sex position called something absolutely hilarious and ridiculous and maybe bess brings home fuzzy handcuffs and then they try to combine the two because they’re just great like that

Who takes more risks?

I feel like this one is a lot like the last one! so both, really! but I think bess might try to go riskier just one time?? and ofc the second she does that it turns into a contest because of course it does

Do they fuck or make love?

MAKE LOVE omg not even a question

Lights on or off?

lights on! it might start with lights off but then bess gets more certain about her sexual ~aptitude and joe is awesome and reassuring 

Who is more likely to be caught masturbating?  

hahahahaha joe 

Who comes first?

UM, BESS, but that’s really mostly because bess comes super duper easily so it doesn’t exactly require a lot of work in the first place

Who is better at oral and who prefers it?

bess is an absolute CHAMP at oral and she likes giving it because she knows how good she is, and, really, WHO IS JOE TO DENY HER? :D

Who is more submissive?

hmmmmmmmmm. I think these two might be switches, buuuuut joe kind of strikes me as the sort who can TOTALLY go for the girl taking charge like he is all about that

Who usually initiates things?

bess! she has a great sex drive and knowing that, joe doesn’t want to ~push her when she isn’t already in the mood (plus that means it’s porn watching time which he ceeertainly doesn’t mind)

Who is more sensitive?

BESS, as aforementioned :D

[starryredpandawrites]

Pr-INK calls

Haha, I’m hilarious. This is just a fic about Bendy prank calling people. It was really fun to write.

Did you know that prink is an actual word? Prink: v. to spend time making minor adjustments to one's appearance; primp. Neat, huh?

“Good morning! this is Sam’s Deli with the best dang grilled cheese sandwiches on this side of the Mississippi. How can I help you?”

“Well Ma’am, I simply have one urgent question for you: Is your refridgerator running?”

“Oh! Why, I do believe it is.”

“Well you better go catch it!”  click.

“Lawrence Residence.”

“Is a gal named ‘Jenny,’ at home?”

“Sir, no one by the name of ‘Jenny’ resides in this house.”

“...She told you to say that didn't she. DIDN’T SHE?!”

“Sir, I promise no one here is named-”

“OH, well this is just rich. A gal leaves a guy standing outside the theater for FIVE HOURS and pretends she ain’t home. Ain't this just swell.”

“Sir, I apologize for the misunderstanding and give you my deepest condolences for being stood up.”

“I was not stood up!”

“But this ‘Jenny’-”

“I was abandoned! Cheated!”

“Does not live here-”

“Scorned! Scoundreled! Hooly-hopkined!”

“I'm going to hang up now.”

“Flabber-gailed! Cathoodled! Rhapfooted!” click.

“Hullo?”

“Good evening sir! Have you ever heard of the Yodel Meter?”

“Bendy is that you?”

“Ah, yes the Yodel Meter, probably the most innovative invention of our time. What better way is there to measure the power of your yodel? There's none! Order now and receive five hundred Yodel Meters for only $700! Reach your full yodeling potential with the Yodel Meter today!”

“Bendy, you tried to selling me a Yodel Meter last week.”

“Oh no! We’re breaking up! How dreadful. See ya later Boris!”

“Wait just a gosh darn-” click.

“Who iiiiiiis it?”

“Bendy if you don't stop botherin’ folks this second-”

“Me!? Bother people!? Boris, I am appalled you would think so low of me. I would never!”

“Yesterday you put a bucket of ink over Mr. Malvin’s door.”

“He deserved it!”

“And then you put a fake spider in Mrs. Lory’s shoe.”

“She gave me a dirty look when I walked in front of her house!”

“You ran across her flower bed carrying a bucket of ink, spilling it everywhere while singing, ‘Sweet Violets.’”

“That was fun.”

“You have to stop!”

“Hmmmmmmmmm… Nah. Oh! And Boris?”

“What?”

“There should be around five hundred or so Yodel Meters arriving at the house today. I won't be there so if you could cover the bill that’d be just swell.”

“WHAT?!”

“Thanks for being such a pal!”

“No wait! Don't hang-”  click.

“...Hello?”

“Hello Miss! May I interest you in the new and marvelous invention-”

“Kenneth is that you?”

“Uh...no, I'm just-”

“Kenneth you need to stop calling me! We’re over, done, no more! You cheated on me for the last time! If you like those other girls so much, go date them!”

“Wait...girls? How many girls?”

“...Eight.”

“Pffft-HAhahaha. And you stayed with that loser?”

“...Is this really not Kenneth?”

“Well DUH. But Miss, heheh, you must be really thick in the head if you’ll stay with a guy after he cheated on you with eight different girls.”

“I’m not with him anymore! We broke up!”

“Uh-huh. Well, it sounds like the next time he comes to your door with a bouquet of roses and eyes full of crocodile tears that won’t be true anymore.”

“I mean… If he gives me roses.”

“HA! Listen honey, I’m gonna give you some advice. Next time this Kendal-” “Kenneth.”

“Ya, sure, whatever. Next time he comes over I want you to take one look at those roses, look him straight in the eyes, and tell him where he can stick them.”

“Where?”

“In the trash of course! Where he belongs. Then you slam the door in his face and go find yourself a better man. No man who’ll cheat eight times is worth his ink.”

“Yeah...yeah you’re right! I’m not gonna let him back in my life! Roses or no he’s not worth it! His treacherous, sinister...sad...deep...beautiful blue eyes….WILL HOLD NO MORE POWER OVER ME!! I’m done forever! No more Kenneth!”

“Mhm-hm. Sounds great. I’m soooo proud of you. Oh, and by the way, is your refridgerator running?”

“...Yes?”

“Then you’d better go catch it!”  click.

Nerd time: So, I actually calculated how much i think 500 yodel meters would cost (and yes, they were really a thing in the 1920s/30s). I couldn’t find an exact cost on google :( but on amazon a metranome/instrument tuner all in one costed $20 so I calculated that if 1$ back then was equivalent to $140 now, then $20 of now money would cost $1.4 back then. Then I multiplied it by 500 and voila! That’s how I estimated it would cost $700 dollars for 500 yodel meters. To put that into perspective, the average cost of a brand new car was $640 back then. Yup. I’m sorry-not-sorry I’m a nerd :P

[draayder]

fmk daigo, akiyama, and shinji

oh boy okay first off, sorry Shinji I cannot justify killing either of the other two to save you even if I do like you! bye!

now I got some pros and cons here

if I marry Akiyama I get all that cash, and a good trophy husband, but he is the laziest pile of shit in the world and I would have to do all the cleaning and I might smother him in his sleep, but if I marry Daigo then I am absolutely going to get shot/kidnapped/put in a coma about once a year

hmmmmmmmmm

so I think Akiyama is 100% a pillow prince, and honestly I got no clue if Daigo’s good in bed?? this is tough. 

I think I’m gonna fuck Akiyama and marry Daigo

......................oh man if I marry Daigo it’s gonna be real awkward for him if I hit on Kiryu. Daigo you’re just gonna have to take that L

[1/17/2017 11:08:38 PM] Gray: lmao [1/17/2017 11:08:49 PM] Austin: no but Christine for the second guy because idk if she ever really left BoS before having to chase Elijah [1/17/2017 11:09:42 PM] Gray: I've realized that my Vegas timeline, with DM happening some years after Vegas ending, makes Christine's timeline a little janky... multiple years just chasing Elijah... |D [1/17/2017 11:10:05 PM] Gray: sweats nervously [1/17/2017 11:12:53 PM] Austin: 2281: the official DM year [1/17/2017 11:13:08 PM] Austin: NCR's attack on HELIOS: 2276

[1/17/2017 11:13:14 PM | Edited 11:13:22 PM] Austin: so he's been on the run for 5 years/? [1/17/2017 11:13:39 PM] Gray: The way I understood it, Christine was with that other spinoff group for a while before she actually was assigned to chase Elijah? Him being on the run for all that time. [1/17/2017 11:14:09 PM] Austin: She's Circle of Steel right? some inner sect [1/17/2017 11:14:24 PM] Gray: Circle of Steel yeeee just looked it up [1/17/2017 11:14:46 PM] Gray: "The Circle of Steel is a faction within the Brotherhood of Steel, formed by hardliners[1] from the Brotherhood of Steel, who believe the rest of the organization has drifted from the original principles of preserving tech. In terms of their position relative to the Brotherhood proper, they are essentially Internal Affairs.[2]" [1/17/2017 11:14:54 PM] Gray: oh... that actually kinda puts her ideologically at odds with Vee [1/17/2017 11:15:47 PM] Austin: how much do you think she agrees with it vs using it as a springboard for revenge? hm [1/17/2017 11:16:44 PM] Gray: But she left the Brotherhood proper before Elijah was on the run, right? She had hard feelings but had no idea she'd hunt him down for crimes later? [1/17/2017 11:17:13 PM] Gray: I'm still a little confused about how Veronica talked about Christine wanting them to leave the BoS together [1/17/2017 11:17:36 PM] Gray: did she mean they both go join the Circle or that Christine would've actually abandoned BoS altogether if they could be a couple?  >> [1/17/2017 11:27:39 PM] Austin: "Ever been in love?" Happy 50 {Playful} Ever been nosy? 392 Happy 15 {Sincere} I was, once. We were pretty young, but I like to think it was love. [1/17/2017 11:27:53 PM] Gray: ;O; [1/17/2017 11:27:54 PM] Austin: "What happened?" Neutral 50 She left the Brotherhood. Wanted to put some distance between herself and her parents. 394 Neutral 50 Since our membership isn't open to outsiders, some members think that obligates all of us to procreate. 395 Neutral 50 You can guess which camp her parents belonged to. [1/17/2017 11:28:06 PM] Gray: the excuse [1/17/2017 11:28:30 PM] Austin: "You didn't go with her?" Neutral 50 No. Couldn't bring myself to leave everyone else behind. Couldn't convince her to stay, either. 397 Neutral 50 I'd hoped love would be enough to influence her decision, but it wasn't. We were both too stubborn. 398 Neutral 50 I don't know where she is now, but I'm sure she's moved on. I still think about her, though. Once in a while [1/17/2017 11:28:38 PM] Austin: ;n; [1/17/2017 11:28:45 PM] Gray: weepu [1/17/2017 11:28:48 PM] Austin: couldn't convince her to stay tho; [1/17/2017 11:29:56 PM] Gray: So do you think Elijah just made it incredibly uncomfortable for her to stay, or do you think he somehow got her transferred/kicked? [1/17/2017 11:30:53 PM] Austin: "He... cut me off from someone I cared about a long time ago. He used his status to break us apart. So I had to find a new purpose, same banner." [1/17/2017 11:31:12 PM] Gray: *shakes them both* TELL ME MORE [1/17/2017 11:33:05 PM] Gray: It almost sounds like Vee didn't even know she went to the Circle of Steel [1/17/2017 11:33:37 PM] Austin: yee sounds right [1/17/2017 11:34:11 PM] Austin: my thoughts would be that Christine ditched altogether and then eventually got approached by the Circle? [1/17/2017 11:34:16 PM] Austin: might ease the time gap a lil too [1/17/2017 11:34:30 PM] Gray: that would make sense [1/17/2017 11:34:52 PM] Gray: I think I'm going with more of a forcing out by Elijah though. and she didn't want to tell Veronica because Vee clearly idolized him as her mentor [1/17/2017 11:35:05 PM] Gray: so the parents were a point of contention and an easy excuse [1/17/2017 11:35:24 PM] Austin: ;n; [1/17/2017 11:35:47 PM] Gray: imagine Christine like. flabbergasted that Veronica left the BoS thanks to courier [1/17/2017 11:36:06 PM] Gray: like if you ever needed a sign that things changed a lot [1/17/2017 11:37:29 PM] Austin: okay but get a load of. THIS [1/17/2017 11:37:48 PM] Austin: "I believe [Sinclaire] loved her, wanted to protect her. Too much." Neutral 50 {To herself} Love makes people do strange things. {Beat, quiet} Won't argue that. It can drive you crazy sometimes if you can't... connect. 137 Neutral 50 {Reluctant, something's wrong} If they loved each other, and they were together... I suppose that's all that mattered. 138 Neutral 50 But she's in that side room, dead, because the casino wouldn't let her leave. {Beat} And who knows where he is. [1/17/2017 11:38:09 PM] Austin: I guess only the first one matters but [1/17/2017 11:38:21 PM] Gray: ; O ; [1/17/2017 11:38:37 PM] Gray: tfw telling a kind lie drives more of a wedge between you [1/17/2017 11:39:10 PM | Edited 11:39:19 PM] Gray: Hmmmmmmmmm so would Christine tell Vee the truth after DM? [1/17/2017 11:39:26 PM] Gray: or does she begin again and know when to let go [1/17/2017 11:40:58 PM] Austin: you can't do this to me [1/17/2017 11:41:14 PM] Austin: "Do you trust me? If you do, let go of this." Sad 50 {Quiet} I've lost him so many times. He needs to die... what happened here, with us? {Doesn't want to think about it} He's... he's done so much worse.
