[soberrsoon]

HEY POOKIE BEAR i love ur writing sm ur acc one of my fav accounts 😋😋

anyways i was wondering if you wld write smth where the reader is the guitarist of a well known band (like tom knows who she is) and is kinda like a female ver of tom, like she has the same kind of personality and she’s known for being flirty and a bit of a player and tom has like a fat crush on her bc he thinks that’s so hot 😋 and then he meets her at some point and he’s kinda shocked by how confident she is like she’s not stuttering and shi like other girls he talks to 🤭 anyways then she plays hard to get for a while but it ends in them being together??

T. KAULITZ x READER

★ 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨��𝐬𝐢𝐬: you never gave your heart to anyways, not until you met a cocky guitarist

★ 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: mentions of alcohol, swearing, cigarettes

★ 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: omgee pookie thx xoxo 😘 anywayssss i had like 1 brain cell writing this and it’s been sitting in my drafts for weeks so yay i’m finally posting this.

you loved the thrill of concerts and being on tour, new man in bed every night, lots of alcohol and dozens of phone numbers being passed around. you could never be contained and you were proud of that fact. being invited to parties was easy since you were in a band, even clubs would let you in with no ID. some would disapprove of your lifestyle but you didn’t care cuz fuck them right? you didn’t care for much, not boys, school, or a anything. you only cared for guitar, it was your passion, your dream. you loved being in a band too but would slack rehearsals sometimes, not without being scolded by lilli though.

“late again,” she said. “hungover, don’t talk,” you said walking past her. you went to a party yesterday and went a little too crazy on the drinks. “there are consequences to your actions ______, stop drinking so much,” said malik, the drummer. “whatever, mom,” you said picking up your guitar. you hated to admit it but you did have a drinking problem, you just couldn’t stop after one you know? you went to go stand by the bassist mery, she was your best friend and the only one that understood you. “anyways, let’s get started,” said lilli. you guys started rehearsal and it went pretty well. you guys all gathered at the end since lilli had some announcements. “we’re finally starting our europe tour!” she enthusiastically announced. “woohoo,” you said sarcastically. she rolled her eyes and turned to the others for questions. “where are we going in europe?” asked mery.

“i only remember the manager saying something about germany,” she said. “when are we starting?” you asked. “next month! we have little time to prepare so i expect you all to show up to rehearsals,” she said looking right at you. “anyways, i hear we’re popular in germany so you guys better put on a show!” said lilli. ignoring her comment, you walked outside and lit a cigarette waiting for the others to finish packing up.

you lit a cigarette outside of the studio as you waited for the others to finish packing up. “ready to go?” asked malik. “yup. wanna go somewhere tonight?” you asked as you caught up with the others. “not sure, the club?” suggested mery as you guys buckled up in the van. “shots on me then,” said lilli. clubbing was your favorite thing to do, second to touring. this was how you met your hookups and one night stands. you loved with the others to minimize housing expenses, it sounded fun at first but now you barely tolerate it.

the fun part of it though is that you can always borrow clothes from lilli or mery. lilli had the cutest, sluttiest clothes ever. you tried on some of her clothes when you got home to plan your outfit. “hey,” lilli said as she walked in. “what’s up?” you asked. “nothing much, just a little tired,” she said, plopping on the bed. “hope i meet someone tonight,” she said. “me too,” you added. you liked the thought of boys but not the thought of dating them, you could never settle into a relationship so one night stands were your best friend.

you decided on a tank top with a mini skirt and you went to go get changed. soon enough it you all finished getting ready and left for the club. you went on like you usually would at a club; party hard, fuck boys, and drink lots. after the night of fun you sat down on the couch and looked up at the tv. it showed an interview of another band that you’ve never heard of. they looked like a bunch of loser teens in your mind but one caught your eye, the one with black hair. he wasn’t exactly your type but you loved his style.

you eventually forgot about that night one might later and you guys were on your way to germany to start the tour. you were excited to meet the fans and the boys. your first stop was the hotel to drop stuff off and get settled in before leaving to tour the venue and get used to the surroundings. you fell on the hotel bed and let out a sigh of relief. “i needed this,” you said to mery whom you shared a room with. “i heard there’s a hot all boy band that going to be at the venue,” she said. “said who?” you asked sitting up, amused by the keyword “hot.”

“i watch the news,” mery replied. “lame,” you said sitting back down. “apparently they’re very hot here, i hope we see them,” she said. “if they’re got then i hope we see them too,” you said yawning before lilli walked into the room. “we have to go soon,” she said. “shit i like garbage right now,” you said before getting up to get changed into something a little more appealing. you slipped into jeans and put on a sequined tanktop before grabbing your heels. “ready,” you said. you guys all got on the bus to the venue and you were anticipating meeting this band mery spoke of. when you got there, many other artists were there already, all waiting for a tour.

mery tapped your shoulder and pointed to a group of boys that looked oddly familiar. “that’s the hot band!” she exclaimed. you turned around and you immediately recognized them, it was the band from that tv interview at the club. “hey i know them, i saw them on tv,” you said to mery. “aren’t they so handsome?” she asked. “a little i guess, they look a bit young though,” you mentioned. “actually we’re about the same age as them,” mery said. “nerd,” you said before petting her head, messing up her hair.

you walked off to go stand in line for the tour with the other artists but you didn’t notice a certain someone noticing you. the line took hours since so many other artists were there but eventually the tour concluded. you realized your band and the other band that mery was talking about were the only bands there that would be performing. you ran back to the van hoping to get back to the hotel room quickly since you were tired, with the others following behind but someone interrupted you.

he walked up to you and introduced himself. “hey, i’m tom,” he said. you were tired and not in the mood to talk to anyone but you tried to be polite since you didn’t want the tabloids to start drama. “nice to meet you, tom,” you said looking at the boy who was surprisingly attractive. “i’m a big fan of your band,” he said. you could tell he wanted to fuck by his expression, i mean what else could he want? “oh really? i’ve heard about you a little too,” you said. he was practically creaming his pants when you said that, you couldn’t help but laugh a little. “do you want to hang out on the tour bus?” he asked.

“thanks but no thanks, my bands a little busy. see you though i guess,” and with that you left. he looked confused at your rejection, like he couldn’t understand how a girl could reject a boy like him. you walked back to the van and mery was practically dying yo ask you questions. “did he just talk to you??” she asked. “yeah what about it?” you replied. “well i guess nothing but you’re not even gonna ask for his number or something? i thought you liked picking up boys especially since he’s exactly your type,” she said. “i’m just really tired right now,” you said yawning.

“oh,” said mery. the car ride back to the hotel room was silent and you almost fell asleep a little on the car. the next day you got ready to explore the city a little before heading to the venue to get ready to perform. you did sound checks and got changed into your stage outfit before meeting the others back stage. you messed around with your guitar a little before you heard backstage staff talking into their wally talkies. “alright tokio hotel is next, get them ready,” they said. malik signaled you guys to start walking on stage and as you did you saw thousands of fans and the venue was completely filled out.

you were so happy and your adrenaline started pumping as the first song started. you got really into it as you strummed your guitar and sang along, getting wild as you usually do. you walked downstairs into the crowd and did crowd surfs, blowing kisses at the audience and doing the “call me” hand signal as well. by the end of the concert your shirt was off and your hair was an mess with your makeup slightly smudged. you said said goodbye to the crowd, giving one last flirtatious smile before walking backstage.

you saw that tokio hotel was already standing there waiting for their set to start. “you’re welcome for the free concert,” you said winking at them as you guys walked by. “leave them alone,” lilli said, laughing and rolling her eyes. you had a little energy left so you walked into the crowd hoping to get a hookup. you saw a guy around your age and walked up to him. “hey, what’s your name?” you asked. “joel,” he smirked. one thing led to another and you ended up making out with him in his truck, although it was dangerous you still enjoyed it. your cell rang and it was mery calling you back to meet with the others.

you left without saying anything to him but not before grabbing a few drinks. you saw mery and ran up to her, she was in the crowd. you offered her a drink which she happily accepted and by the end of tokio hotels set you were both drunk. you were half awake now and wanted to go back to the room. “lilli can we get back to the hotel? i’m tired,” you whined. “yeah sure let me go get malik he’s by the bathroom we’ll meet you by the van,” she said. you and mery walked back to the van and it started getting quiet the farther you got away from stage. you waited by the van for lilli and malik until a familiar face appeared, it was tokio hotel.

“hey, good job tonight guys,” one of the members said. it was the one with black hair, the one that caught your eye first. “oh thanks you guys did good too,” you said. “you were off with some dude half of it,” mery said laughing. you told her to shush as you laughed, their faces were priceless. tom, the one that tried to flirt with you looked jealous? you brushed it off once you saw lilli and malik. “oh we gotta go now,” you said. “wait, do you guys want to go somewhere?” tom asked. gosh this boy was restless you though. “go where?” asked lilli. “you guys can come to our room,” said the black haired one.

you all looked at each other, “why not?” malik said. “alright then uhm let me call our manager and tell her we’ll be gone then,” said lilli. so you guys all got into tokio hotels van and headed for their room. you got sat next to tom whom was still trying to flirt and you decided to entertain him a little. “your guitar playing is amazing,” he said. “you’re not too bad yourself,” you replied. you guys went back and forth like that before you reached their hotel. you immediately went out on the balcony for a cigarette and tom followed.

“i’m surprised, usually girls stutter or get flustered when talking to me,” he said. you were confused as to why he brought that up but at the same time too drunk to care. “well i guess i’m not one of your fangirls,” you replied. it was silent for a bit before you said something. “you said you’ve seen my band around before right?” you asked. “yeah i really am a fan. i always thought you were hot, i was really excited to meet you,” he said. “well am i what you thought i’d be?” you asked. “not at all,” he replied. “you’re funny,” you said, winking at him. you headed inside first and introduced yourself to the others.

after introductions, you found out that the black haired one was bill, the singer, the drummer was gustav, and bassist was georg. you sat down next to mery and the room was silent until georg said something. “so you and tom huh?” he asked. “what about him?” you replied. “do you two like each other?” he asked. “i don’t ‘like’ boys, i fuck them,” you said. “she’s like the female version of tom,” bill said laughing. “what does that mean?” asked lilli. “tom’s just like her, flirty and sort of a player,” said gustav. “that makes sense, you finally found your match,” said malik.

the others laughed before tom walked in. “what’s so funny?” he asked. “nothing, we were just talking about how you and ______ were so similar,” said bill. he looked at you and smirked before taking a seat next to you. “want to take some shots?” asked bill reaching for a bottle of vodka. “sure but how’d you sneak alcohol in the hotel?” you asked. “don’t worry about it,” he said.

you guys took the shots and soon enough you were all drunk. but since you and mery had already gotten drinks the two of you blacked out. you don’t remember much except for someone carrying you to the bed and the lights turning off.

you woke up the next day, not knowing where you were. you saw lilli and malik on the floor and mery sleeping next to gustav. tom was laying next to you with bill next to him while georg slept on the sofa. the bed was crammed so you got off to wake the others up. you walked over to lilli first. “lilli help me wake the others,” you said. “what time is it?” she asked. “it’s like eleven AM,” you said. “oh shit, we were supposed to meet our manager at nine,” she said.

she started panicking which led you to panic so you two were just freaking out which woke the others. “what’s wrong?” asked mery, waking up. “we were supposed to meet our manager at nine, it’s eleven,” she said shaking malik. you were fighting a massive hangover and lillie’s panic wasn’t helping. soon enough tokio hotel woke up and you guys were already at the door. “leaving already?” asked tom. “we’re late to meeting our manager,” you said. “shit,” said georg. “uh see you guys around i guess?” said mery as you guys ran out the door.

lilli had ten miss calls from the manager and dozens of angry texts. you guys got into a lot of trouble, which you took the blame for. you guys went back to the hotel room and you flung yourself on the bed. “ugh fuck this,” you said. “what’s wrong?” asked mery. “this hangover, i feel like i’m dying,” you replied. “i bet calling your boyfriend tom will make you feel better,” she said teasing you. the others started laughing while you just rolled your eyes. “seriously though you guys are perfect for each other,” added lilli. “whatever,” you said.

“speaking of them i happened to get gustavs number last night, maybe we should meet with them tonight~~,” said mery. “well i am bored, maybe the club?” malik suggested. “you read my mind, call him mery,” said lilli. you sat by the side pretending not to be interested because deep down you knew you were starting to find tom attractive and you knew where this would go. he would break your heart or you would breaks his and he would leave, just like the others.

mery called the gustav anyways and it was settled, your band and tom’s band were going out tonight. your manager basically grounded you guys so obviously you couldn’t go out… which wasn’t going to stop you. i mean you guys never listen to your manager hence last night. you felt and looked like garbage so you quickly hoped in the shower before going shopping in town. you went by yourself since the others were too busy doing their own thing, but you didn’t mind since you liked your own company.

hours later you got a call from mery asking you to go back since everyone was getting ready. you meet them back in the room and get ready as well, putting on one the dresses you bought while in town. “did you buy that dress just for tom?” asked lilli in a teasing tone. “no i bought it for you dad,” you replied sticking your tongue at at her. malik and mery laughed as you put your heels on. thirty minutes later you guys all left and met with tokio hotel and there tom was, looking nonchalant but in a hot way as usual. you look away from him to scout out the boys in the club that could help take your mind off things.

you spotted a very cute boy with curly brown hair dancing by himself. you walked up to him, completely separating from the others. “hey i’m ______, what’s your name?” you asked him. “it’s skylar,” he said. “let’s dance,” you said as you started grinding against him. he was into and you even got your mind off tom before you walked over to the bathroom. you guys are out a few moments later, your hair messy and his shirt half buttoned. you blew him a kiss as you walked over to the others who were now sitting on a sofa.

“wow we’ve only just gotten here and you’ve already hooked up with a dude ______ that’s a new record,” said malik. “who keeps track anymore?” you asked him. you took a seat next to mery and tom, right in the middle. tom was visibly staring at you and you were confused until you realized you were wearing a very booby top. “perv,” you whispered over to him. he quickly looked away which made you laugh a little. mery left and decided to go on the dance floor with gustav and bill following while lilli and malik went to the bar to gets drinks leaving you and tom.

“so why don’t you date?” he asked. “same reason as you probably, i don’t believe in love after one night,” you said. “wow, we really are similar,” he said. “you think?” you said. “why don’t we date then?” he asked. “because i’ll break your heart,” you replied. “maybe i’ll break yours,” he said. “nobody breaks my heart,” you replied, chuckling. he gave you a dry laugh and looked away before malik and lilli came back with drinks. you and tom both got super intoxicated that night and one thing left to another and you two ended in a hotel room together. the two of you laid on the bed as you lit a cigarette. “do you hate me?” he asked. “what do you mean?” you were confused. “i mean, you’re not head over heels for me, you don’t stutter or fumble your words at all when we speak and you don’t want to date me, i don’t understand why you would act like that unless you hate me,” he explained. “i don’t hate you, in fact i think i’m in love with you,” you drunkenly admitted.

“you do?” he asked, shocked. “i think. i mean you’re exactly my type and we’re basically the same person so i guess i do,” you said. you were slightly conscious of what you had just confessed to tom and you had no regrets, holding it in was killing you slowly. tom reached for you cigarette and you guys shared it until you put it out. you fell asleep and the next morning you woke up in tom’s arms. he was completely wrapped around you and you had no memory of the night before.

“morning,” he said groggily with his morning voice. “did we…?” you asked, scrounging up as much of last night as you could. “yeah, and you also confessed you love for me,” he said laughing. “oh god, did i?” you asked. “don’t tell me you didn’t mean it,” he said. “unfortunately i did and you’re not going to let me live it down will you?” you asked. “of course not,” he said smiling. you reached over for your phone to missed calls and texts messages from lilli. “i guess we should get back to our hotels,” you said before getting up to put your clothes on. “not before i do this,” tom said, grabbing your wrist and pulling you back to bed before kissing you. “i hate you,” you said digging your face into his chest.

okay, first of all, thank you for your service! your recs are amazing

i just wanted to ask if you could rec as many rewrite fics as possible? episode rewrites, season rewrites that kind of thing? and if people could keep adding on itd be great?

theyre my fav genre tbh but they can be so hard to find :(

thank you so much!!

Oh boy, I sure can Anon!

I'm going to assume you mean 9-1-1, if you meant another fandom, let me know and I'll search for those. Some of these are rewrites by proxy? As in all the events happen but some are text fics so you only hear about them. If anyone has some to add, please do!

He’d done this before. Inside the well. Trapped forty feet underground instead of in a tin can, rising water the constant threat.

Eddie stared at the radio, knowing this time there’d be someone on the other end to hear him if he needed to say something. If his time his second chances had finally run out.

He wouldn’t die alone. Not really. His team would be there. Just inches away. He could tell them, tell Buck….

When Evan Buckley meets a man in a bar and gets his number, he couldn't possibly imagine how one wrong digit could lead him to his fate. Because sometimes wrong numbers are the right numbers.

bro·ken by kristen999 (@thekristen999)

Forced to take shady side jobs to pay his bills, Evan Buckley doesn’t think he’s ever seen such rock bottom. Until he meets Eddie Diaz, a man even more desperate and alone. Season 3 AU.

if it weren’t for second chances by alasse (@alasse9)

When Buck doesn’t save Daniel, the Buckleys put him in foster care. Seventeen years later, Bobby meets a tall, lanky kid who can’t stop eating his pancakes at a church breakfast, and he gives him a phone number and an unconditional offer of help.

A story about how Buck finds a chosen family, and with a few twists and turns, eventually gets to the 118, meets Eddie Diaz, and maybe finds himself a second and a third (or, an Evan Nash story).

Our story's been heartache and wonder by Tails89 (@tails89)

Fuck.

Buck scrubs a hand down his face. He’s got no idea what he’s supposed to do here.

He knows what his parents are like. He has his own childhood to draw from, and Isaac doesn't deserve that. He deserves to grow up surrounded by love, and if nothing else, Buck can give him that.

But Buck is also a twenty-six year old probationary firefighter, living in his girlfriend’s apartment while she travels the world. He’s not exactly in a position to look after a kid.

“Okay.” It comes out in a rush of air. “I’m gonna come get you."

no one quite like you by hammersmiths (@henswilsons)

Hen has added +1 213 555 to Firehouse 118

Hen: This is Eddie!

Eddie: Hey everyone :)

Buck: Why would she add him to our private groupchat

Chimney: I’m literally sitting right next to you

or, Buck and Eddie’s progression through texts.

Tighten Up by ok_thanks

It’s probably considered getting off on the wrong foot when you have sex with your coworker before they start their new job, right?

Buck would think it’s probably not a good thing, and definitely something that shouldn’t be repeated. Especially when he becomes best friends with them. That’d be particularly stupid.

Close My Eyes and Stumble (Right Into Your Love) by HMSLusitania (@hmslusitania)

Eddie's PTSD is just that little bit worse and when he moves to Los Angeles, instead of joining the LAFD, he joins dispatch.

Which is all good and fine, except for this one firefighter he keeps ending up talking to.

we were born with nothing by chromatophorica (@chromatophorica)

Until the 118, Evan had never had a family.

---

Evan saves Daniel when he's a baby; he still manages to find his way to the 118, forging a family there despite being given up by his biological parents.

I Didn't Know I Was Lonely 'Til I Saw Your Face by HMSLusitania (@hmslusitania)

After the ladder truck and the blood clot and the tsunami, Bobby makes Buck go to therapy before he does something stupid(like sue the city). Buck's not totally comfortable being alone with a therapist, but fortunately he makes a friend and ally who's willing to help him out - Eddie Diaz from the 136 who's just been caught in an illegal fight club.

OR

Total strangers Buck and Eddie go to couple's therapy together to get out of the therapy requirements their captains have placed on them.

i want your midnights by allyasavedtheday (@littlespoonevan)

Eddie grins. “Yeah I get that. So can I ask why you applied for the room? No offence but you’re not exactly the kind of candidate I expected.”

Buck laughs, ducking his head. That’s probably true.

“I, uh, I’ve been staying at my girlfriend’s place while she’s travelling but um, my sister moved to LA recently and sort of made the point that I could be overstaying my welcome? Or, well- actually she tried to tell me my girlfriend’s cheating on me and I need to get over it and move out of her place.” Buck shakes his head, eyes widening at what he just implied. “She’s not! Cheating, I mean. She’s just- trying to find herself after losing her mom. She just needs a little space, y’know?”

At least, that’s the excuse Buck’s giving Abby for why she hasn’t called him in over two weeks.

Eddie nods with a vague sort of expression on his face like he hadn’t expected him to overshare that much. Which, oops.

In which Eddie decides to rent out his spare room to help with mortgage repayments right around the time Buck decides to move out of Abby's place after some not so gentle prodding from Maddie. It's a coincidence. Or serendipity. Or maybe just really good timing.

An Unambiguous Love [6/10]: The Next Day

1 :: 2 :: 3 :: 4 :: 5 :: 6 :: 7 :: 8 :: 9 :: 10 ::

alternate AO3 link

Pairing: Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson x f!Reader

Genre: fluff

Summary: Your favourite customers really make it easier returning to the town you never went to school in. If only your friends at work would stop trying to play matchmaker between you.

Chapter 6 word count: 3416

A/N: Can y'all guess one of my all-time favourite franchises based on this chapter? Betcha can't!

You wake up somewhere between Steve and Eddie, cramped up on the same couch, but covered in a blanket that you don't recognise. Your head feels as though it's vibrating, though. Nothing painful, just… Really uncomfortably annoying.

You're grateful that Eddie had insisted on being in the middle, as they're still snoozing away. You hear whisperings in the kitchen, so you gently slide out of Steve and Eddie's arms and tuck the blanket back over them before you head over to join Johnathan and Nancy. “Good morning, sleepyhead! How are you holding up?”

You rub your eyes and yawn, “Head feels… Gross. But other than that I’m not so bad. Been worse. Sorry that I crashed here on the first night I met all of you,” you mutter, but Nancy simply smiles warmly back at you.

“That’s totally fine! That was gonna be the plan if we all ended up being in the condition we all got into, anyway. The kids are all still down in the basement, and Robin’s in Mike’s room, Any sign of life from the boys?”

“Other than their snoring, they’re out of it,” you explain with a soft laugh, leaning against a counter. 

Johnathan hands you some pain relief and some water, which you take gratefully. “I’m making eggs. And - and bacon, if you like any of that stuff.”

You smile, “Either, either’s fine. Thank you.”

“Both it is,” Johnathan nods back, throwing a towel over his shoulder and picking up a pan.

Robin’s next to join you all. She takes her place next to you, leaning against your arm. “Congrats on surviving your first party with us. Welcome to it being exactly the same, every single time, with the same hangover, every single time.”

You smile between them all, “Sorry, again, that I kind of just stuck with -” you start, but Robin swats at your hand lightly.

“Stop that, I told you last night, it’s totally fine. We knew you already knew those two so we assumed you’d be more comfortable with them anyway.”

“Hopefully we’ve made our case now too, though,” Johnathan pipes up, before asking you how you prefer your eggs.

“Totally! Do you know your phone number? I can add it into my diary!” Nancy holds a finger up and then goes rushing upstairs to her room.

As she returns, and you’ve been handed your breakfast, you hear a voice behind you, “Uh, hey, what’s a pig’s favourite duet?”

You look over at Steve, “Why would a pig have a fav-”

“Don’t Go Bacon My Heart,” he grins, taking a streak of bacon from your plate, waving it in the air in front of you and chomping on it, still smiling as he chews.

“Jerk!” you frown and he laughs.

“You can just take some of mine,” he shrugs.

Johnathan scoffs, “And what makes you think you’re getting any?”

“How else is poor Y/N going to recover from the starvation she’s been subjected to now?” Steve chuckles with his mouth full of food, standing next to you and winking.

Nancy rolls her eyes, “Just do it,” she tells Johnathan, kissing his cheek.

“Any sign of life from Eddie yet?” you ask.

“Took me a good minute or so to get away,” Steve explains. “But he didn’t wake up.”

You frown. “I hope he’s okay.”

Robin cocks her head. “I’m sure he’s fine, I just don’t think he’s much of a morning person. I’m lucky to get eye contact if I see him before school starts,” she explains.

“Got it,” you nod slowly, finishing up your food. Johnathan serves up another plate, feigns giving it to Steve and actually presents it to you. With a laugh, you take great delight in choosing just the right streak to take, as Steve looks on in defeat.

As you finish the last bite of it, you go over to check on Eddie. The way he’s fallen back onto the couch after Steve broke free, his hair sprawls across his face. You gently move it out and he snuffles, stirring ever so slightly. You laugh, “So Steve basically wrestling you wasn’t enough to wake you, but that was?”

Eddie makes a grunting noise that you’re fairly sure you’ve never heard any other human make before. He rubs his eyes open to look at a clock on the wall and immediately shoves his face back into the couch cushions. “I don’t even wake up at this time sober,” he wails into the seat, and you laugh.

“Well, I’ve gotta head off soon, so I just wanted to make sure you weren’t, y’know, dead or whatever,” you shrug.

He moves his head round to face you, with a soft smirk. “Your level of concern is astounding.” You giggle, and he pushes himself up a little before giving up and laying back down again. “Are you really leaving?” he asks with a frown.

“Well, yeah.My family aren’t home for a while, so I have to make sure Marvin’s still got food and water to last him,” you explain.

“Marvin?” Eddie asks.

“Yeah! My cat,” you grin, and Eddie sits upright as though a bolt of lightning has passed through his body.

“You have a cat?! Can I meet him?” His face looks bright, eager; as though he wasn’t just fighting a losing battle with his own exhaustion.

You laugh, “Get some breakfast first.” Eddie groans and flops back in the seat. You try and grab his arm to pull him up, but he deliberately resists, giving you a very smug smile as he remains sitting.

“Steve!” you call out. “Help me drag Eddie into reality, please!”

“’m schtill ea’hing!” Steve calls back, clearly with a mouthful of food. You soon hear the clatter of a plate being put down, though, and he approaches you both.

Eddie makes grabbing motions with both his hands in Steve’s direction. “You gonna carry me, Stevie?”

Steve gives you a deflated look and turns on his heel, but you grab the back of his shirt and pull him back. “No, no, we’re doing it together, c’mon, take one arm.” You and Steve manage to pull Eddie to standing, at last.

Eddie steadies himself, then turns to Steve and holds his face. Steve looks perplexed until Eddie quietly drawls, “You know, it’s not very polite to talk with your mouth full, Harrington,” and gently slaps Steve’s cheek twice before stepping away and continuing in a normal volume, “At least, not while there’s ladies present. Now, where do I find this breakfast I’m supposed to eat?”

You and Steve point him in the direction of everyone else, then Steve turns to you. “Uh, so, what are you… How are you getting home?”

“Well, I was just saying to Eddie, I’ll have to go soon, but I think Eddie wants to meet Marvin, so I guess if you want to as well, you can!” Steve nods. You ponder for a moment, scrunching your face in various ways. “I’d invite the others, too, but -”

“Nah, it’ll be fine,” Steve waves you off. “Nancy and Johnathan like to do their own thing anyway, and Robin has to work this afternoon.”

You frown, “Does that mean you have to, also?”

With another shake of the head, Steve chuckles, “The manager tried so hard to get us to not work together, but we just kept changing shifts around with the others to do it as much as possible. Didn’t work out 100%, though.”

“Got it,” you nod, before both of you rejoin the group. “Sorry you have to work today,” you tell Robin, and she smiles at you.

“That’s so nice! See, not everyone has to wish that I have nothing but sweaty mouth-breathers the whole time,” she pulls a face at Steve.

“Well, that’s what you get for not securing that last part of the weekend and abandoning your best friend in his hour of need,” he crosses his arms, feigning annoyance.

“At least now you’ve got two new best friends to babysit you,” she smiles sarcastically, gesturing to you and Eddie, who is scarfing down eggs like he’s not eaten for weeks.

“I am the babysitter, not the babysittee, thank you,” Steve replies in a tone heavy with sass.

“I don’t think that’s a word, Harrington,” Eddie explains.

“I - You’re not a word,” he mumbles, walking away.

Laughing, you turn to Eddie. “Hey, did you drive here?”

He shakes his head. “I got my uncle to drive me here in my van. Figured it wouldn’t help if word got out that our school paper’s greatest editor has had the school freak’s van parked outside all night.”

Nancy proudly tucks her hair behind her ear. “Thank you, Eddie. Sweet of you to say.” He swings back and forth on the balls of his feet with a small, proud smile on his face.

“So Steve can take us both, right? Robin, too?” You look at Steve who has begrudgingly returned, but Robin interjects.

“It’s fine!” she exclaims hurriedly. “I’m not - I’ve - I’m meeting some friends before my shift starts, anyway. Nancy said she’s happy to drive me.” Both Robin and Nancy nod in unison. It’s too creepy for you to ask further.

Steve, however, looks confused. “Friends? I thought all yours were in this room.”

“Hey!” you frown, swatting at his arm.

Robin laughs, “As sweet as it is of you to come to my defence, he’s mostly right. But yeah, now I meet up with a few other people now and again either before or after work, it’s just a little thing.”

“Well… As long as you’re safe, that parking lot gets pretty sketchy,” you warn.

“Again, appreciate it, but I am a big girl. I can take care of myself once in a while,” Robin nods.

You make sure your sketchbook, pencil and now almost-empty whiskey bottle are back in your bag and hug your new friends goodbye. Nancy once again promises to call you very soon.

You tell Eddie you’d rather keep talking to a minimum so that Steve can focus on directions, which Eddie appreciates as he basically falls asleep again in the back seat, though you frown as Steve hits his turn signal on a road you know you should drive straight ahead onto. “Uhh, hey, you can go straight on from here, it’s faster,” you advise.

“Hmm?” Steve asks, clearly being taken out of his own train of thought. “Oh… Right.” A light blush dusts his cheeks. “I… had kind of plotted the route from my house to yours on my map, I was going to see how well I’d memorised it. But you’re right, this gets you home quicker.”

“Could I get that address from you sometime? I oughta do the same,” Eddie asks sleepily, his eyes still closed.

“Yeah, for sure, I’ll show you it later,” Steve glances into the rearview mirror to look at Eddie, though obviously does not make eye contact with him, slumped over in his seat with his arms folded, head resting on the window.

Still Eddie smiles softly and quietly drawls, “That’s a good boy, Stevie.” Steve’s cheeks tint a darker pink. It makes him look quite cute, actually.

You direct Steve back to your house, and breathe a sigh of relief to see that the family car is not parked up outside. “Okay, we’re safe from any immediate ambush,” you nod.

Steve looks at you, confused. “But didn’t Eddie want to meet someone?”

“Oh yeah, Marvin will still be in, he’s no trouble,” you explain as you get out of the car. You notice that Eddie still hasn’t noticed you’re getting out, and deduce that he must have genuinely fallen asleep. With a semi-malicious grin, Steve opens Eddie’s door from the outside, causing him to fall far enough to wake him up, and fast enough to trigger the safety belt’s stopping mechanism, jolting Eddie’s body. He looks up and flips you both off as you laugh.

You open your front door, make sure the boys shut it behind them, and start calling after Marvin, stepping through the hallway and looking around. You hear a familiar mewl and turn round to see your most favourite being, adorned with markings that never exactly fit together but also somehow did, which is what caused you to name him after your favourite character from your favourite book.

You run back over to pick him up with a laugh. “Are you scolding me, Marvin? Asking me just where I’ve been all night, huh? Who are these strange men I’ve brought home?”

Eddie jokingly bows in front of Marvin and holds out his hand with an exaggerated, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir, you keep a wonderful home.” Marvin simply looks up at Eddie, who then can’t help but bend over him and start stroking him. You gently point out Marvin’s favourite scratch spots, and just how much pressure to apply to each one, and then look over and see Steve, standing several feet away, eyes wide and hands firmly behind his back. 

“Is everything okay, Steve?” you ask. “You’re not allergic, are you?”

He swallows hard, his eyes unblinking and unmoving from the creature in your arms. “So Marvin’s… not your brother? It’s a cat?”

Eddie grins mischievously, taking Marvin from you. “Don’t tell me the great Steve Harrington, the King of Hawkins High himself, is scared of this little guy?!”

“I am not scared!” Steve’s voice raises in volume, but not pitch, and you and Eddie both lean against each other laughing. “It’s just… Cats don’t like me, and I respect their decision by staying away.”

“Steve, you can’t say all cats don’t like you,” you say, but Steve shakes his head.

“Enough have hated me right off the bat that I’m not willing to risk upsetting any more,” he replies, and you giggle. “Whatever it is that I’ve done to offend them all, it’s clearly unforgivable.”

“Alright, let’s not let Big Scary Marv upset Steve any more,” you take Marvin back from Eddie and put him down on the ground. “His food is in a bucket in the kitchen, and the bowls are out there too, would you guys mind, while I grab some things from my room?” You gesture to the door that leads to your kitchen.

“Yeah, c’mon Stevie, let’s go get you on ol’ Marv’s good side,” Eddie grabs him by the back of his sweater and frog-marches him through to the other room. You laugh as you run upstairs.

Gently putting your whiskey back in its usual hiding spot, and your sketchbook back on your desk, you start hunting for what you’re looking for: your map of Hawkins, which you find easy enough; your coloured pencils, which you gather from various spots around your room; and your box full of VHS tapes that you don’t want your brother to find, from under your bed.

You’re perusing what to potentially bring downstairs to watch with the boys when they turn up in the doorway. “So… This is where the magic happens, huh,” Eddie looks around incredulously as he steps in slowly. 

“It’s nothing, really,” you wave off. “Did you find everything okay?”

“Yeah, he’s eating good down there. Stevie even made contact,” Eddie grins.

“Hardly,” Steve replies stoically, as you beam back up at them.

“Oh come on, he was rubbing himself up on your leg!” Eddie replies.

“That means he wants to be your friend!” you gasp, smiling warmly at Steve.

Steve pulls a face. “Nuh-uh. False sense of security? Please, I’m smarter than that,” he taps his head, and you roll your eyes.

“Ooh, is this a journal?” Eddie asks, pulling out a book you’d forgotten to hide.

You cringe, “You’re not allowed to read it!”

“I won’t, I won’t,” he raises his free hand as he studies the cover of the book with the other, twisting it around to look at the whole thing. His brow furrows, “Why write the words ‘Don’t Panic’ on here so big?”

This time it’s your turn to look incredulous. “Are you serious?!” Eddie looks confused. You continue, “Same reason Marvin’s named why he is? The paranoid android? The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?!” Eddie shakes his head, and you laugh, “Damn, and you call yourself a nerd.” Steve snorts with laughter in the background.

“I am a nerd for fantasy, alright,” Eddie explains. “These superhero comics, this sci-fi stuff, it- it’s nothing like the classics, you know?”

“Oh, so I’m wrong for liking what I like now?!” you fold your arms, watching with glee as Eddie tries to backtrack. As he stammers, you grin, “Come on, if I were anyone else, you’d be ripping me to shreds now, right?”

“Not to break up the Geek Civil War over here,” Steve interrupts, sitting on the floor next to you, “but I gotta know. Why is there a map here, and why is it all… Colourful like this?”

“It’s… A map I photocopied in black and white so I could colour in all the routes I need. Blue is my way to work, green is to the hospital if I ever need it, orange is to the arcade since my brother loves to go there, pink is to the library in case my brother needs to go there for his classes,” you explain.

“Classes?” Eddie asks, putting your journal back and also joining you both on the floor. “He doesn’t go to school?”

You shake your head. “That’s why nobody’s home, they’re taking him on a “field trip” for the day. He, uh, doesn’t exactly thrive in a classroom environment.”

“I know how that feels,” Eddie blows air up into his bangs.

You rub Eddie’s arm sympathetically. “So yeah, they take him out to places a lot to show him how stuff works instead, it’s way better for him. They’re going out of town in a few weeks for a big one.”

“So you don’t see much of them?” Steve asks sympathetically, and you shake your head. “Probably for the better. Parents can be major assholes.”

“Amen to that!” Eddie concurs, before looking at your map. “So, uh, you got this out because…?”

“Because! I wanted to add wherever you guys’ houses are to the map. And if you could add Nancy’s too…”

“Sure thing! Do we get to pick our own colou- now, why would you pick yellow?” Steve asks as Eddie plucks a pencil out from the box.

Eddie narrows his eyes, “Because I’m a ray of fucking sunshine, Harrington. Why have you picked red, huh?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Steve asks with a smirk, before using the pencil to point at himself. “It symbolises my role here, as the rose between two thorns.”

Eddie pulls a horrified expression, “Not 30 minutes ago, I was a seatbelt away from landing on my face because of you two!” to a chorus of laughter from you and Steve.

The two of them have made themselves very comfortable on your floor, in ways that are just very… Them. Steve is sprawled out on his side, propped up on one elbow as he slides his fingers across the spines of your VHS cassette boxes, giving his sass-filled commentary on all of your titles; Eddie is laid on his front, legs bent at the knee and kicking up in the air as he fills in the roads on your map a vibrant yellow, with his tongue poking out in concentration and moving direction based on the direction he’s colouring.

Once Steve finally picks out a few of his “personal highlights” from your collection, you all head back downstairs to watch them. You sit in the middle of the two this time, just each of you sitting as you would on the couch at first. Then heads start to rest on shoulders. Then arms start to move for comfort. Before long, Eddie’s head is more or less on your chest, one arm draped over your stomach, while Steve is nestled between your jaw and your shoulder, with his arm snaked around your back to rest on your hips. You, yourself, have resorted to having an arm around each boy, so that they don’t go numb from being pinned in between anyone else. 

You sit, you watch, you commentate, you laugh. You and Eddie cheer when Marvin decides to fall asleep on Steve’s knees, and it’s not long before, for the second time in 24 hours, you too fall asleep on a couch nestled amongst your new best friends.

“Hm, I can work with that,” Taehyung says. “I’m a Capricorn.”

“Fascinating. Now back to Chemistry -”

“Isn’t that what I was talking about?”

symbiosis- n. interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.

“So that means you’re okay with it?” Jungkook asks, his tone an odd mix of surprise and sarcasm.

Taehyung hums his affirmation, making Jungkook finally look at him. His eyes are unreadable, even to him. They search over Taehyung’s face before Jungkook’s full body turns and they’re a breath apart.

“Why?”

“It’s a good union,” Taehyung explains simply. “Good for my family and yours. For you and I specifically.”

(arranged marriage au, rich x rich)

a bit more lighthearted than chemistry... but not a lot

listen! This author gets howoo! they’re one of the only ones i trust to write them well and in character

all eyes on you by acquariusblues (5/5 | 104,261 | M)

The thing is – Jihoon has no desire to speak to Soonyoung. Sure the guy has appeared in a few of his classes, but Jihoon is busy focusing on improving his own skills instead of mingling with the new loud kid. So he stays in his corner stretching and watches boys and girls ask Soonyoung all about his life and ignores how Soonyoung’s smile seems way too bright for someone who danced alone in the dark.

(enemies to friends to lovers, dance au)

but actually read all of this author’s fics (still so sad they never posted their seokhan fic :( )

NCT DREAM

Mark x Haechan

meet me halfway by tinymark (lumoon33) (2/2 | 41,888 | T)

"I'm Donghyuck," another kid says, tanner skin than Jaemin's, softer cheeks, and slightly crooked teeth. "Your braces are kinda cool," he exclaims, his voice pitched baby-high, fearlessly loud, shameless.

Mark goes wide-eyed, a little breathless at the offhand comment, at the randomness of it. He can't help it when he snaps his lips closed together, embarrassed under the attention coming from someone brave enough to beam with crooked teeth. That's what makes the boy's smile prettier, somehow, the lack of impulse to hide it, uneven teeth shining proudly under the bright lights of the practice room.

Maybe that's how it all starts.

(or: mark lee’s journey to self-love ft. lee donghyuck’s help)

(canon compliant au!!! trainee days exploration)

i love kpop fics where they explore the trainee days idk, also this author has so many markhyuck fics and they’re all so good so if this one doesn’t appeal to you than check out their profile!!!

The first night Mark arrives in his new hometown, he dreams of Haechan, the boy with the sharp smile and an even sharper tongue. When Mark finds out that Haechan is the same boy who went missing the night after Mark arrived, he's willing to do anything to find him.

(mystery au!)

Jeno x Jaemin 

Mind says check, body says mate by moonseul (1/1, 14,852 | E)

“My high school chess rival is here,” Jeno announces, panicked.

“I don’t understand what this has got to do with chess,” Renjun says.

And oh, god bless Renjun’s soul, because this has everything to do with chess.

“My high school chess rival. He got hot.”

(chess rivals to lovers au)

such a fun au!! if you’re in the mood for something lighthearted this is your fic!

Cat Trophies and Catastophes by mintdrop (1/1 | 16,151 | E)

After not too long, Jaemin returns to the doorway. In his arms is his wicked little cat, looking unapologetic and nuzzling Jaemin’s bare chest with unprecedented enthusiasm. When their eyes make contact, Jeno could swear she places her paw up against the man’s left pec just to spite him. Jeno’s jaw nearly drops open in jea—shock.

“Is she yours?”

“Y-Yeah,” Jeno eventually manages to stutter out. Then another moment of dumb staring. And then— “Oh god. I’m sorry. Let me take her.”

(Jeno discovers that his cat has been sneaking out to neighbor's house each night to sleep with him and collect his personal belongings. Disaster follows when he further discovers that his neighbor is hot. And sleeps shirtless.)

NCT 127

Taeyong x Johnny

The Spell That Binds by taeyongseo (35/35 | 201,775 | E)

It was not that Johnny and his friends had a penchant for getting into trouble. It was just that letting the Gryffindors win was not an option. And then there was Taeyong, top-of-the-class Taeyong, who always seemed to be around to watch them all with a disapproving frown. Getting a rise out of the Ravenclaw prefect was half the fun, really.

(hp au)

this fic is the fic that convinced me to become a nctzen! i read this and thought hmm i should check these guys out. a masterpiece. give it a chance even if you’ re not into johnyong, it’s simply a must read! (also there are only 2-3 explicit chapters if i remember correctly so if you’re under 18 just skip those and read the rest of the fic)

________________________

if none of these fics are your thing: i put a link to the ao3 page of each ship sorted by kudos so for all the ppl who don’t know how best to use ao3, just click on the pairing u want to read xx

ok that’s it: next time txt and skz

THE FORMULA 1 TAG GAME! 🏎️

rules. answer the questions below!

tagged by @vinvantae tagging: everyone that wants to do it, just say i tagged you. also, @goldsainz @formulaforza @carlosheinz @chrysanthemonza

1. Who or what got you into F1?

-> my family! they've been enjoying motorsports for years so naturally, i ended up falling in love too. something about forced proximity lmaoo

2. Who was the very first F1 driver you supported? Do you support them now? Have your opinions on them differed or stayed the same since then?

-> kimi raikkönen!! as a child i would get really excited to see him on tv or on track, my parents said i recognized his car and all. i supported him always, followed his years out of f1 and all, he’s 100% my favorite of all time.

3. Who's your current favourite F1 driver?

-> i have two 2023/24 favorites: lewis hamilton and oscar piastri.

lewis has been a favorite of mine from the beginning, his racecraft has always been enjoyable to me. also, he’s one of the reasons why (alongside nico and schumi) i decided to support mercedes. he’s a big big inspiration for me, all of the things he has done are wonderful so i’ve never doubted him as one of my favorites.

oscar, on the other hand, is ofc a new addition to the ‘fav f1 driver’ list but is one that doesn’t surprise me! i saw him go up categories and loveeed his driving style. i was never a diehard fan but a supporter of his career for sure. when he got to f1 (and seb left) i knew who my new favorite was gonna be! (now i am, in fact, a diehard fan)

4. Is there a driver pairing or pairings you support? What made you attracted to that pairing in the first place?

-> not a pairing but…a boy band…

they live on my head rent free, the videos (and the lore) were so funny (iconic). BUT, if i had to choose a pair, i would go for kimi and seb!! i had always wanted to see them as teammates bc of how well they got along, when it happened i was the happiest. also nico and lewis were my number ones back in the day and by consequence my biggest heartbreak.

5. Do your parents, siblings or relatives have a favourite team and/or favourite driver(s)?

-> everyone in the family likes something different. some have their special reasons but in general they vary.

dad’s favorites are mclaren, lauda, and senna, my oldest sister’s are mercedes and button, my older brother redbull and alonso, younger sister ferrari and verstappen (don’t even ask), and my mom’s favorites were ferrari, prost, schumacher, and häkkinen. <3

6. Do you have any favourite races? Are there any that stand out to you the most?

-> this is such a hard question but i’ll go for the ones i rewatch the most: united states 2018, canada 2011, suzuka 2005, abu dhabi 2010, turkey 2020, and germany 2019.

7. Do you have a favourite circuit? Can be from the past or from the current calendar.

-> hockenheim, suzuka, sepang, interlagos, istanbul, spa, silverstone. my lovers fr.

8. Have you ever been to an F1 race in real life? Feel free to tell us your experience going to one if you like.

-> i have! i went to my first gp when i was almost one year old, it was france 2003 — nevertheless, the first one i remember going to/experiencing (faintly but i do) is the 2007 brazilian gp!

i’m lucky enough to have gone to multiple over the years and i’m so grateful to my family for it. 2022 and 2023 were the first years i was able to go by myself or with my friends/colleagues to races! (i did go a couple with my family + i go with my brother everywhere but yeah) it’s been amazing!

9. Have you ever met an F1 driver in real life?

-> i’m very lucky to say yes, i have met a couple over the years and it’s been great! from the current grid i’ve met everyone but zhou and hülkenberg!!

10. Do you have a favourite F1 car? If so, what is it?

-> FW14B, MP4/4, W11, F2002, RB19 AAAAAAAHQHEUJW. i believe this question goes more towards the liveries but i love those cars, they were such a wonder and the WAY they were driven. ugh. amazing. i love rewatching their races.

11. Do you have a favourite one win wonder?

-> ok so, i would say george but since he’s still racing i’m not counting it. i’ll go with pastor maldonado. HEAR ME OUT. it was an insane day, i was ten but i still remember how crazy everyone felt there in barcelona, like what just happened. also insane to think about how it was pure pace, like yes he was lucky on saturday but sunday was his. ALSO having kimi on the podium is a huge bonus.

12. Do you have any favourite quotes from the F1 world? This can either be inspirational or hilarious.

-> “we have to remember these days. there is no guarantee they will last forever. enjoy them as long as they last.” — sebastian vettel, 2013.

“that’s for all the kids out there who dream the impossible, you can do it too.” — lewis hamilton, 2020.

“i’ve always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only the slightest chance.” — michael schumacher, 2007.

“just leave me alone, i know what to do.” — kimi raikkönen, 2012.

“bwoah” — kimi raikkönen, always.

IM SO SORRY THAT WAS WAY MORE THAN I INTENDED SOSKSKKS

[rhine-gold-archive]

I’m using this meme to rumble about my account haha

1.First 5*: Technically, it’s Mona, but practically, I got Hu Tao like 20 seconds later in the very next ten-pull and raised her first, so Hu Tao feels like a real first 5 star to me

2.Favorite 5*: I love them both, Hu Tao carried me from mid to end game and is my favorite nuke option for bosses. And Itto is just FUN

3.Most recent 5*: I got Ayato first and then just kind of casually kept pulling on Venti’s banner whenever I had primos. I kinda expected to lose 50-50 bc I won 3 in a row before that, but no, I won and I’m glad I did, Ayato\Venti\Ganyu perma freeze slaps

4.Most wanted 5*: Not very original. Every time they let us use Kazuha in event trials I look at the damage numbers and CC and sit there, consumed by lust. I do like his personality too tho.

5.Strongest 5*: I keep meaning to go back to crimson witch domain and farm her artifacts with better crit stats, but it kinda doesn’t take priority bc girlboss hits like a truck even with mediocre set, her burst crits for 160k on vape.

6. Favorite DPS: I didn’t plan to get him at all, bc I hate claymores and didn’t want to build mono geo. I’m not even into himbos. But then I got Itto at 15 pity doing random free wishes, and he just won me over. He’s the only claymore who feels good to use to me, his charged combo is fast and cool and has giant AOE. And sure, my Hu Tao or Ganyu are technically stronger, but Itto has no annoying mechanics like Ganyu’s charged shot and no set up needed, like Hu Tao, you can fuck up his rotations and his combos, you can even solo and baby boy is still gonna carry just fine. 

7 Favorite sub-DPS: Xingqiu is a secret 6 star on par with Bennett. the boy can do everything. I was more excited to get him than both Zhongli and Ganyu at the lantern rite, bc let me tell you, it’s not fun to try and vape Hu Tao attacks with Barbara’s or Mona’s E.

8.Favorite Support: I try keeping up my dodging skills by doing commissions with low level friendship team that dies in two hits if I don’t dodge, but even that doesn’t seem to work much. I actually rebuilt Zhongli from pure shield to sub-DPS bc his meteor looked cool, but hit two times weaker than Itto’s cow that’s 2 levels lowers. Now it hits about as much as Ushi (about 60-70K), so I can live with that.

9.Favorite 4*: Kaeya is my favorite anything in genshin, period. Morally ambiguous sarcastic dark-haired trolls with complex identity problems are my type to begin with, but I didn’t really get the brainrot until I got into genshin’s worldbuilding. I was like “Hoho, what is that? This anime gacha has extensive references to mythologies? Some of them pretty obscure? How peculiar! How quaint! Let’s see what they’re trying to do”, then I fell into the lore rabit hole and emerged with a whole ass conspiracy board where Kaeya is one of the central figures. Khaenri’ah skin with a galaxy cape when

10.Strongest 4: cryo Kaeya and vape\overload Yanfei are actually my fav teams for exploration or farming, bc you can play them braindead and not worry about burst regen or even being hit, bc everything is either perma froze or being blown up from afar. Best girl Yanfei is also another fav choice for carrying other people in coop on par with Itto, bc she has her own shield and if needed, can sustain enough mono pyro damage to kill anything even without reactions, when Hu Tao would already be dead

11.Favorite element: I like all elements, but electro needs a buff.

12.Favorite weapon: The free DEF% claymore is good on Itto, but it clashes so much aesthetically. I did a one random ten-pull on weapon banner and got redhorn, so it’s my fav just due to how cool it looks and how easy I got it. it’s also insanely good on baby boy, ofc.

[sigurdjarlson]

I NEED Greg to call Tom, Nero next season. Not be melodramatic but I need it or I will die

(Can you imagine how Tom would fucking melt.)

[tomorrowsdrama]

Hahahaha. Your lists never disappoint. I have another one. Top 10 loss-of-innocense scene. Theres a level of emotional whump that only few actors and actresses convey well when they are betrayed or they witness a brutality that changes them forever. And I'm excited to hear your favs

Oh anon, this ask is wonderful but terrible at the same time because I had to really dig deep and think about all the scenes that broke some of my favorite characters (and me).  Except for number 1, everything else is in no particular order.

1. This goes to Ni Ni as Feng Zhiwei in The Rise of Phoenixes. I can’t really pinpoint one particular scene because the entire drama is just an exercise in how to break down the originally naive and brilliant Zhiwei through the cruelty of the palace and the fight for the throne. My goodness, Ni Ni is as amazing at acting as she is beautiful and you could just see the light slowly fade in Zhiwei’s eyes as more and more of the people she loved died because of her. I mean…

2. When Teng Zijing dies and Fan Xian goes on a rampage trying to seek revenge in Joy of Life. This really is the turning point for Fan Xian and the drama and it goes from “haha look at my charmed life Fan Xian” to “I will literally kill a man in the streets to avenge my friend Fan Xian.”  The story always retains its humor but after Teng Zijing’s death, there’s an added sense of danger and gravitas as it becomes clear that that one character you loved so much could drop dead at any second for no discernable reason or fanfare.  Zhang Ruo Yun amazingly portrays the duality of happy-go-lucky Fan Xian “transmigrated from modern times” and “I’m not above psychological warfare to achieve what I want Fan Xian.”  

3. Dae Gil in Chuno transforming from a soft and sweet noble young master into a jaded rugged slave hunter after his entire family is killed in a fire.  I can’t complain though because his hot points went up by like 1,000 after he lost his “innocence” ahaha

4. When Yeon Kyung witnessed Heo Im having to lower himself to the nobleman in order to try to save the servant’s life and you can see when she finally realizes just how harsh the caste system is in Joseon society and that they’re not in Kansas anymore.  Bonus points for how heartbreaking it was to see the usually playful and good-natured Heo Im desperately plead for the servant’s life by degrading himself to appease the nobelman

5. When Byun Yo Han’s character in Six Flying Dragons helplessly watches as his childhood crush gets assaulted by a group of man and all he can do is hide because he is a literal child who is understandably too scared to do anything (and would not have been able to do anything).  And then he becomes a deadly warrior to try to make up for that one moment of weakness in his life that destroyed both his and his crush’s innocence.  Bonus points for Lee Bang Won (played by Yoo Ah In) slowly but surely losing his hero worship of his father and becoming more and more disillusioned and cutthroat to achieve his goal of founding a new kingdom.

6. My sweet bb Hwi from My Country the New Age getting screwed over by the world over and over again.  All he ever wanted was to have enough rice to feed himself and his sister but what did we get instead...

7. Wolf boy thinking he was betrayed and turning from a sweet and innocent wolf boy with abs into super fine and hot asshole Prince Bo who kills without remorse and then back again to his former good self while still retaining the hotness of the asshole Prince Bo.

8. Minglan was always a bit guarded and didn’t trust people much outside of her adopted grandma after her mother was killed in childbirth, but I feel like she completely lost all hope and expectation in people when Qi Heng broke his promise to her and let her down.

9. Want to see a man get broken down to the point where he’s just a ptsd laden husk of his former self?  Watch Lee Byung Hun in Iris.

10. This is reserved for Luo Jin in Royal Nirvana.  Have only watched 3 episodes but @dangermousie ‘s posts about it tell me there’s a lot of emotional whump and torture to look forward to and unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Luo Jin gets out unscathed.

[mythicalmongoose]

Does anyone want to read some rambling and potentially biased meta on Robby and Johnny’s relationship largely based on my own experience with shitty parents?

No? You don’t want to read me over-analyzing the silly karate show? That’s fair... I’ll put it under a cut.

So, like, right off the bat I’d like to say this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular. (No, not even you. Don’t flatter yourself.) This is something that has been bugging me since before I made this blog and was solely composing tl;dr replies about it on Reddit.

Secondly, Cobra Kai isn’t prestige television. It’s a karate soap opera that doesn’t take itself too seriously and exists in a heightened reality where kids become black belts in a month and take to the streets in rival gangs, terrorizing the innocent civilians unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire. I’m not holding it up to real-world logic or laws. I can’t. The police that exist there are mostly powerless and largely theoretical. Watching them arrest Kreese was like seeing a cryptid in the wild.

Thirdly, I’m not 100% sure who these Johnny apologists I keep hearing about are, but I apologize on behalf of no one. All my favs are problematic trash fires. I dumpster dive for my favs. I love me a mess as long as the show acknowledges them as such. Which this one does constantly. It’s fiction, and I’m really sick of seeing people make the leap that liking a character means you endorse their actions... Tangentially, I’d also argue that Daniel is his own trash fire. But, like, a classier trash fire? One that’s like a controlled burn in a metal barrel after you called the fire station and asked if it’s okay. But that’s a weird metaphor and an overly long meta post for another day.

Finally, don’t come for me, y’all? Feel free to  reply and disagree, but I just got here. This is my comfort show. It’s fun. It’s binge-worthy. I love talking meta and over-analyzing with folks, but a lot of people online seem to get weirdly heated about all of this, and I just don’t have the energy for that.

With all that out of the way... The number of people I see complaining that Robby forgave Johnny too easily kinda irks me. He didn’t, and this repeated assertion that he did feels like an over-simplification of ambiguous grief and the cycle of abuse/trauma.

Robby might be the most emotionally intelligent teen on the show. He’s pretty darn level-headed and thoughtful when he isn’t letting negative emotions dominate his decision making.

S4 feels like the writers have finally started to address that rather than the character just being, for me personally, an unlikable mess. AND NOT BECAUSE OF HOW HE INTERACTS WITH JOHNNY. Can everyone in the back hear me? He is the child in that relationship. He’s valid in feeling what he feels and avoiding who he wants to avoid.

My problems with the character stemmed from his interactions with his peers. Sam, especially. God, if I see another person act like she owed him something, I’m climbing over my desk and through the monitor I’ll do nothing. But boy will I be miffed. Watch out. I’ve got a soapbox and I’m not afraid to use it... If I have the spoons to... Maybe... We’ll see! ...but probably not.

Anyway, this is all an extremely roundabout way to say that anger is exhausting. Especially when you’re using it to put up walls.

Robby and Kenny paralleled Johnny and Robby this season. But the point wasn’t that Robby is analogous to Johnny; it’s that he sees himself in Kenny. It’s not 1:1 and it’s only their relationship in extreme miniature, but it clearly disturbs him.

The cycle of abuse that started before he was born is flashing in front of his eyes, and its weight is immense. He needs someone who understands to help shoulder that and, instinctively, he goes to his dad.

He’s giving himself permission to be vulnerable. To shed that anger and lower his defenses. I said it before, but I’ll say it again, that shit is so exhausting it’s life-destroying.

I can identify with Robby but, honestly, I can identify with Johnny more.

Both of my parents were fucking awful. When I was 14, I was hospitalized. My dad didn’t want to deal with that, and I never saw him again.

My mother, meanwhile, kept tracking me down even after I packed up at 17 and skipped town... and the county... and the state.

And, boy o’ boy, abusers that won’t stay out of your life or even acknowledge they were abusive are just the best, huh? And you WANT that relationship with them. That’s the worst part. I feel Johnny letting Kreese back in. Because you want to do what Robby did. You want to give yourself permission to be vulnerable and let your walls down and let them be the parent to you they never were.

But people like that can’t be there for you if they won’t even admit their mistakes. They can manipulate you and they can gaslight you and they can even genuinely love you and think they’re telling the truth, but they can’t be there for you. You can be there for them, and they’ll take that and run with it until you’re all used up and feeling like an idiot. And then you feel like an even bigger idiot when you give them countless additional chances. It’s, like, the slowest lesson to learn and the easiest to forget. But you’re just so desperate for that specific kind of relationship. And you’re so afraid you’re never going to be able to let go of that soul-crushing anger because you can’t get closure. They have none for you. They don’t think there’s anything to close.

Robby isn’t quite in that place yet. He has his mother that is turning her life around for him and he has Daniel who desperately wants to be for him the kind of mentor he had as a child and he has an undependable father that wants to be there for him.

They’re all far from perfect, (Johnny especially.) but they all recognize they fucked up. They’re not denying it. And, to bring it back to the scene at the end of S4, Johnny stresses that Robby didn’t do anything wrong and that he should blame him as the root of so many of his problems. We’re seeing history repeat with Robby giving Johnny another chance like Johnny did with Kreese. But Kreese is a manipulator you’ve got to drag kicking and screaming to even the smallest revelation in how they hurt you.

With Robby and Johnny there is the possibility of a relationship. There’s a chance to break that shitty cycle these guys are all in.

And, good Lord, can I extrapolate on Robby and Johnny’s relationship without people crying apologism? Because there are other factors we see in the show and implying that abuse/trauma is straightforward and easily traced back to a single, obvious root is the kind of shit that keeps kids from realizing the situation they’re in.

Shitty parents are still people. They’re still a pile of cascading failures that led to things being like they are.

The show leads me to believe that Johnny and Robby have had a father/son relationship. A consistent one? God, no. Obviously not.

But we see pictures Johnny kept where Robby drew both of his parents. We see a soccer photo on a fridge. We see that Robby wants to upset his dad and knows him well enough to do it, giving Daniel the relationship with him that he knows Johnny wants but is always failing at.

And because it’s been a minute since I stressed this, please don’t come at me with pitchforks: JOHNNY IS NOT A GOOD FATHER. HE IS BARELY A FATHER. NOT HAVING A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS SON IS HIS OWN FAULT. WE KNOW THIS. THE SHOW KNOWS THIS. IT IS KNOWN.

That said, there are contributing factors that didn’t fucking help. Shannon had an extremely unhealthy, codependent relationship with her son at the start of the series. Parental alienation happened. Shannon explicitly states that it did. We see it happening in the first season when Shannon lets it slip that Johnny wants Robby to come live with him.

Robby is actually considering it; he seems cautiously optimistic... But then he sees Johnny and Miguel hugging in a parking lot and that idea is tossed out. Which is super irrational but completely understandable for an angry teen that resents (And is 110% justified in that resentment) his dad.

And, boy, I could go off on a whole tangent about how Shannon is basically Laura Lawrence, but that’s yet another rambling meta post for another day... which has passed. That day is in the past. That is to say, it’s already on my blog somewhere.

And, yes, leaving Robby with Cobra Kai is ridiculous. So is deciding on the fate of the Valley through a fucking tournament arc. So are warring children’s karate dojos caused by Vietnam. So are all the other things we just kind of handwave so the show can get from point A to point B and let the plot happen. The show needs to go go go. We’ll lampshade it next season. First hand that child a set on nunchucks and chuck that one in a cement mixer. So many ridiculous things to do; so little time; so few ways to explain it that sometimes we just don’t. “Police? What police? Oh, right, um... Sam didn’t want to draw things out. Does that sound plausible? No? Fuck it, that’s what happened. Now go, honey. Go with the nice alcoholic, and parkour off a roof.”

And also... oh, Jesus, this is a bunch of text. This is entirely too much text. Imma stop myself here before I get started on something else and this goes from slightly unreadable to completely unreadable.

[rose-lord-of-simps]

Hello!! Can I have some recs for seroroki?? Like what are your favs for them? Please and thank you!!! 💕💕

OH I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!

the best mistake i ever made

when Sero texts the wrong number (twice) and gets to know the shockingly sassy man on the other end, all the while suppressing a fruitless crush on big time hero Todoroki Shouto.

14 chapters, ongoing, the author has been known to be kinda stretchy with their updates, but they updated a bit recently so they haven’t forgotten! It’s an adult pro hero AU!

I LOVE RHIS ONE!!!!!! It’s my favorite seroroki fic so far, mostly fluff and fun but there is some angst so read the A/N and tags!

Dirty Dishes

Sero has the advantage of height, so he’s easily able to see their work. He moves both his hands down the other boys’ arms until reaching his wrists, which he grips and tugs. He moves Todoroki’s hands back into the water and then to one of the awaiting cups. He helps with his one hand to keep the object still as Todoroki covers it with soap. “Are you sure this is how you wash dishes?” Todoroki’s voice comes almost as a whisper, but loud enough to break their little bubble. “Who do you think you’re asking? I’ve been washing dishes for years. I know what I’m talking about.” He tilts his head slightly and is able to feel the way Todoroki’s cheek moves as he smiles and snorts. “Uh huh, sorry for doubting you.” “You better be.”

Cannon universe! 1 chapter

PURE FLUFF! It’s so cute!

The Bond That Was Meant To Break

Todoroki and Momo are dating to keep thier family image well kept. But what happens when both of them are in love with someone else?

Chapter 1 / Chapter 2

•••

In the days after I met Walter Marshall at the bar, he was suddenly everywhere. On Monday, I had to make a quick stop at the pharmacy, and he did too. On Tuesday, Gia and I went to the nearest coffee shop to grab coffee for our department, and guess what? He was there too with his colleague Liam. It doesn’t end there; on Thursday I went to get some take-out from the Greek restaurant near my house. While I parked my car, he drove away. You’d think we would have spoken to each other one of these times, but we didn’t.

Every time something happened to prevent that. It was suddenly my turn at the pharmacy as we were about to talk. Once I was done, he had left. At the coffee shop it was the other way around. Me and Gia just got our order when he walked in with Liam. I was about to say hi when the barista called them to take their order. Since Gia and I only had 5 minutes of our break left, we had to go back. The last time I saw him, we were both in our cars, making it unable to have a conversation. He did wave though. But honestly, I wanted more. I wanted to have a decent conversation with him.

“You know, you can just go over to the police station and see if he’s there,” Carmen said. It was Friday and more and more people were slowing leaving the office. It had been a long week. There had been two murders, and the murderer had not been caught yet. “Just ask if they got a lead.”

We had been covering these murders for the entire week. Unfortunately, the murderer knew what he was doing because he barely left any evidence. The detectives still had no idea who he could be or what his motive was.

“We could use some more information for our articles,” Gia agreed with her. “I think you should go too.” She and Carmen exchanged a look that meant no good.

“You guys are not going to force me to go down there. If I go there, one of you is coming with me.”

Before they could answer the phone rang. Carmen picked up, nodded a few times and before she hung up, she said: “we will check it out.”

“What was that about?” I asked, but I already knew something was wrong.

“They found another body in an alley across town. Stacy wants us to go there to see if we can get some information,” she said while standing up and putting on her jacket.

“I’ll come with you.” I stood up and grabbed my jacket as well.

“Be careful and call me when you guys are back home! I’m going to finish writing this article and then head home.” Gia said.

“We will. I’ll drive Mel,” Carmen nodded and waved with her car keys.

We stepped out of the car and we saw the crime scene was marked with yellow tape that had ‘do not cross’ on it. The alley was dark and empty except for a few dumpsters. I haven’t been in this city for long, but the few times I drove through this neighbourhood, it didn’t really feel safe.

The thought of being murdered here made me shiver. The murderer dumped her body in a dumpster in the middle of the night and just left her there. I looked around and couldn’t see security cameras. This murderer definitely thought this through.

Carmen and I walked towards a few people that were gathering in front of the alley. The police had arrived long before us, and I recognized a detective from that night in a bar. As we got closer, I spotted another detective whom I recognized immediately. Walter crossed his arms and talked to the other detective.

“Look who is here Mel,” Carmen poked my side. “Talk to him, see if you can figure something out. Like his phone number.” She winked and walked away to talk to some bystanders.

Fuck you Carmen. I walked towards the tape, and at the same time Walter turned around and looked at me. I stared into his blue eyes and yet again I felt a shot of electricity going through my spine. Why does he have this effect on me? I wondered and realized I had stopped walking and were glued to the street. I shook my head and start walking again.

“What are you doing here?” he asked once I was near him.

“Doing my job?” I said surprised. “You are aware I am a crime journalist, right?”

He lifted his eyebrow and sighed. “You shouldn’t be here. We haven’t caught the murderer yet, so it is not safe here,” he stated and wanted to walk away but turned back to me. “Also, I’m well aware you are a journalist. Your friends made that very clear.”

He gave me a small smile and walked away. I was caught a little of guard and looked after him surprised.

“Hey, wait!” I yelled. “I need to ask you some questions!”

He obviously sighed and dropped his head, but stopped walking. I quickly walked towards him and grabbed my notebook and pen out of my bag.

“First of all, are there any leads on the murderer yet? Do you guys have a suspect?” I started asking. “Do you think he murdered those other girls earlier this week?”

“No, no and yes,” he answered.

“Anything else you would like to share than yes or no detective Marshall?” I raised my eyebrow and looked at him. To say he looked irritated, was an understatement.

“No further comment, this is all you’re getting,” he responded while avoiding eye contact.

“Seriously?” I looked at him with puppy eyes.

“Look, we are busy with our investigation. I can’t tell you anything right now. Besides, you shouldn’t even be here. Just go home and let us do our jobs. Okay miss?” he replied while looking at me again. He did look annoyed though. Oh boy, why does he look so good when he’s annoyed? That’s just not fair.

I simply nodded. “It’s miss Williams, Melody Williams by the way.” I fiddled with the notepad and pen in my hand.

“Now if you’d excuse me, I’m going to do my job Miss Williams,” he grinned. He did look less annoyed than a second ago.

As he walked away, I watched his perfectly sculpted ass and thighs. Damn, he is so fine. I looked around to see where Carmen was and spotted her next to some bystanders. She looked at me and signalled that she would be done soon. I looked around and noticed how empty the street was. Just a few sketchy looking apartment buildings, but no stores or anything.

“So, did you get anything from him?” Carmen said as she showed up next to me. “It’s creepy here or is it just me?”

“No, he didn’t give me anything useful and yes, it’s really creepy here. Something is not right,” I said and looked into the alley.

“Really? Not even his phone number? I am greatly disappointed in you.” Carmen looked at me in shock before she laughed. “No, seriously, did he say nothing?”

“He looked pretty annoyed honestly,” I said a little disappointed. “Did the bystanders see anything?”

“No one saw of heard anything suspicious,” Carmen answered.

“Well, the police does suspect the one who did this, also committed the other murders this week.”

“Hmm, but why here? He somehow must have lured that poor girl here. How? Someone must have heard something in that case. I don’t think she would have come willingly into this alley,” Carmen thought out loud. “Wait, someone did hear a car in the middle of the night. It came by, stopped, and drove off not long after.”

“That probably has something to do with this,” I replied. “It is the perfect place to dump something. Empty street, no stores, not many people outside.”

“Sure thing. Also, it creeps me out that there are so many empty buildings here. Overall, there are way too many empty buildings in this town.” She shivered and we noticed the few bystanders who were still there leave. “We should go too. I don’t want to be here for another minute.”

During the weekend I couldn’t stop thinking about the murders that happened that week. It creeped me out that the murderer was still out there. I went over all the details known to the public to see if I could find a connection. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, I couldn’t.

On Monday I discussed the murders with Gia and Carmen. They also had no other insights and we decided to let it go for the day. We were going to wait until the police would release a statement or more information.

The rest of the day went by quickly. Once I got home I felt restless. I didn’t want to sit around and wait. I wanted to help. It sounded stupid, how on earth could a simple journalist like me help the best detectives in town solve a case?

I finished doing the dishes and looked outside. It was 8pm and it was dark outside. I couldn’t help but wonder if he had made another victim. Fuck it, I’m just going down to the police station and see if Walter is there. Maybe I can help somehow.

Before I could change my mind and realize this was the most stupid thing to do, I stepped in my car and drove to the police station. After a 15-minute drive I parked my car in the parking lot in front of the police station. I hesitated to go out for a second. But what if I can help?

I stepped out and walked, no rushed, inside. It was surprisingly empty in the entrance. I noticed the elevators to my right and remembered Gia and Carmen told me that the detectives were on the sixth floor. Suddenly the elevator door opened, I smiled at the guy who came out and stepped inside. Quickly, I pressed the button with 6 on it and the doors closed. Surprisingly easy to get inside a police station but okay.

Once the elevator reached the sixth floor, and the doors opened I noticed how quiet it was. Uncertain I walked further into the hallway, until I heard someone sigh heavily. It sounded like a familiar sigh and I decided to see where it came from.

A light flickered above me. Shit, I still need to watch the last episode of stranger things. I heard someone sigh again, and I noticed it came from a door just a few feet away from me. I looked towards it and saw it was slightly ajar.

Closing the gap between me and the door, I looked inside. Walter sat at the desk, he leaned forward on his elbows, papers spread across underneath. The computer buzzed lightly.

It felt a little creepy, spying on him like this. I wanted to let him know I was there, but as I want to knock on the door, I bumped my elbow against the door.

“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath. Very smooth Mel, very smooth.

“What are you doing here?” He crossed his arms and cocked an eyebrow at me. “And how did you get up here?”

“I wanted to know if there were new developments around the murders. And I got up here surprisingly easy I must say. I basically just walked inside and took the elevator.” I shrugged my shoulders and walked inside his office while taking off my jacket.

“Do you think I’d still be here if we had a breakthrough?” The look in his eyes softened as he yawned.

I looked around his office and my gaze fell on the computer. There were three different profiles from girls on display.

“Are those the girls who got murdered?” I asked.

“Yeah, but you are not supposed to see any of this,” he said with a stern look in his eyes.

“What are you going to do? Stop me? I’d like to see you try,” I said as I walked around the desk and stood next to him. A recognizable scent hung around him. He wore that same musky cologne as the day I met him at the supermarket. I almost closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. Focus Mel, now is not the time to fangirl over this man.

As I stood next to him, I couldn’t help but notice how broad he was. He could easily pick me up and toss me around. Oh god, don’t picture that right now or you will not be able to speak ever again.

My gaze shifted from his chest to his face and I saw his blue eyes staring at me. I quickly looked at the screen and started reading the profiles. I stood there a little uncomfortable and looked around for a chair.

“Why don’t you have another chair here? I really have to stand?” I asked once I noticed he had no other chair in his office.

“No chair, no place to sit. Makes people leave faster.” He simply stated and shrugged his shoulders.

Next thing I knew I felt his hand on my hip, and he guided me down to sit on the armrest of his chair. It caught me off guard and I yelped a little.

“You wanted to sit right?” he said while his hand stayed on my hip. I felt the heat coming from it spread throughout my body. He was so close, and it became hard to focus on the screen. I felt his hot breath on my arm, giving me goosebumps. I regained my focus on the screen and noticed they all had last used a dating app.

“This is probably a dumb question, but have you checked the dating profiles of the girls? The last guy they met with has most likely something to do with this.”

“I am a little insulted by this question,” he said with a grin while putting his hand on his heart. His other hand remained on my hip, I felt his fingers dig into my soft skin. “We did obviously, but the last guy they chatted with used fake pictures and we can’t track him.”

“What about the conversations? Nothing suspicious there?” I asked and shimmied a little on the armrest, trying to get up as I started to feel awkward.

“Stay still, and no. The girls were found nowhere near where he wanted to meet them. And there is no connection between any of the places,” he said. “Wait, just read for yourself.”

Before I could comprehend what was happening, he turned around with chair and all to grab some papers from the cupboard behind him. Once he turned back, I was no longer on the armrest but sitting on his lap.

“Oh!” I exclaimed. My behind actually fitted perfect on his lap much to my surprise. “I’m sorry,” I said awkwardly and tried to squirm away.

“Stay,” he simply ordered, and acted like nothing happened.

“I don’t want to hurt-,” I spoke softly before he interrupted me.

“What are you talking about? I said stay.” His fingers dug a little deeper into my skin and I felt my cheeks burning. “Here are the messages between the girls and the guy there were going to meet. Maybe you see something we missed.”

I tried to focus, but feeling his strong chest pressed against my back made that pretty hard. I could smell his cologne even better now. One of his brown curls brushed against my shoulder and I had to fight the urge to not turn around to push it behind his ear.

I focussed on the papers in front of me. I read the messages, around us a comfortable silence. Only the sound of our breaths filled the room.

“You said they were found nowhere near where they were supposed to meet him?” I asked. He nodded in response. “Hang on, this girl was meeting him near my place. He said there’s a new restaurant that just opened, but I am pretty sure there’s nothing there. There are so many empty buildings in that street.”

“You sure? Someone googled it and saw it opened a few days ago,” he said.

“Absolutely. I drove through that street to get here, and there is no restaurant.”

He leaned forward, pressing his chest against me even more. I tensed for a moment. He felt warm, like he’d never get cold. I decided to just enjoy sitting like this with him, since it might never happen again.

He started typing the address into google with one hand. The other hand still remained on my hip. The website for the restaurant popped up and I immediately saw it was fake.

“Well, this is clearly fake,” I chuckled. “Look at the pictures, that is somewhere else. The sunlight does not match the sunlight we have here. Plus, that place is near a lake. Have you seen a lake in this city?”

He looks at me with his eyes wide open. “How can you- never mind. What about the other places?”

As he looked at me, I became aware of how close his face was. I quickly averted my gaze and googled the other places he was supposed to meet the girls. We instantly concluded that they also used a fake website.

“So, what’s next detective?” I asked and look at the clock. It was just past 9.30 pm. Probably too late to do anything right now.

He ran his fingers through his curls and sighed. “I, am going to discuss this with my colleagues tomorrow,” he said with the emphasis on I. “We are probably going to set up some dating accounts on that app. Shouldn’t be too hard to figure that out.”

“Well, if you need help with that you know where to find me,” I smiled. I suddenly felt really tired and realized I hadn’t been sleeping very well lately. I let out a yawn, and he copied me.

“You’re tired. You should go home,” he said after he finished yawning.

“I will go home if you do the same.” I stood up and felt his hand slide away from my hip. I missed the warmth that came from his body immediately.

“Alright, fine,” he groaned. He got up and grabbed his stuff. He walked around his desk and picked up my jacket and held it open for me. I walked towards him and let him help me put it on. His hands rested on my shoulders and I felt his hot breath in my neck. I felt a spark going down my spine and I nearly choke on air.

Focus, now is not the time to faint.

“I should, uh, I should get going,” I stammered. I grabbed my bag and walked out of the door. I looked back at him and I see his eyes quickly moving up. Was he looking at my butt?

He followed me out of his office and together we stepped into the elevator. It slides down smoothly as we stood next to each other in silence. Our hands brushed against each other briefly before the doors opened. We stepped out of the elevator and he waved goodnight to the security guard as we walked outside. That security guard wasn’t there when I got here. Probably the reason I got in so easily.

My car was the only one left in the parking lot. It stood lonely underneath a lamppost.

“Where did you park?” I asked.

“Other side of the building, employees only,” he said. “But I’ll walk you to your car.”

“Oh, that’s fine,” I started to protest.

“I’ll walk with you. End of discussion,” he stated sternly. We walked towards my car in silence until I realized I had to ask him a question.

“What’s your phone number?”

He looked at me with a cocked eyebrow.

“What if I find another piece of information? I’d like to reach you if so,” I said and feel my cheeks burn with embarrassment.

“Right,” he smirked. “I would have given it to you either way.”

After we exchange phone numbers I looked into his eyes. He is just a few inches taller, yet it felt like he towered over me. I felt like I was drowning in the bright blue. But then I let out another yawn and the moment was over.

“You’re tired, go home,” he chuckled. I nodded and unlocked my car. He opened the door and I got in and started the car.

“See you around?” I asked.

“I’ll make sure of that,” he answered. I smiled and he closed my door. I drove away, and waved at him one more time. I can’t wait to see you again.

boyfriend scenarios [1] [masterlist]

daichi sawamura

You were running late to your volleyball practice,”not again, not again!”you sprint towards the gym.

You swing the door open unintentionally smacking a person on the other side,”aita (ouch)!”the person groans in pain.

“Oh shoot! I am so sorry,”you bend down and profusely apologised to the male who’s bent over in pain, he waves his arm as if to days it’s okay.

Your captain tsks at you for your tardiness and your clumsiness,”(last name) please bring Daichi-san to the clinic and run five extra laps when you get back,”she instructs you and you nod.

You help the male up and walk with him to the clinic,”I apologise again Daichi-san,”I bow my head. “It’s alright, don’t worry about it,”he smiles at me as he clutches his face.

We reach the clinic and the nurse looks at me,”again, (last name)-san?”Daichi quirks his eyebrow at you, stifling a laugh at your embarrassment state.

I rub the back of my head,”how many people have you hit?”he looks at you with amusement in his eyes.

“I think four?”

sugawara koushi

Walking into the gates of your new school, Karasuno High. You were having new student nervousness, as much as possible you didn’t want to be late to class.

You took out your student packet to check where your shoe locker and classroom was located.

Finding your shoe locker was easy enough to find but your classroom was not, you had gone up and down the floors and was still not in luck.

“Hey, you seem lost. Are you new here?”you turn around and you meet a grey haired male,”oh is it that obvious?”you joke awkwardly but nod your head.

“I’m looking for class 4, any chance you can help me?”you say as you hand over your student packet to the male. “Well, you’re in luck, I was heading that way.”

“Thank you,”you say happily and he just laughs at you. “I can show you around the school, later. I’m Sugawara Koushi by the way,”he flashes you a smile.

“That would be awesome! I’m (last name) (first name), it’s nice to meet you!”

asahi azumane

It was a regular school day, nothing out of the ordinary except for you rushing down the third year floor.

You were holding a stack of papers your teacher had instructed you to bring them to his desk and you had completely forgotten to do it.

Being distracted you had not seen the ace of Karasuno as he exited his classroom and colliding into the tall figure, making all the papers fly.

You had looked up to the male you bumped into and was intimidated by his looks. Slightly frightened you bowed immediately. “I am so sorry Asahi-san, I was not paying attention where I was going.”

Quickly trying to gather the scattered papers and leave but you were surprised as Asahi helped you picked up the papers. “It’s okay, it was my fault too (last name)-san.”he apologises as he handed me the stack., hands both touching.

You both looked away with pink tinted cheeks before you quickly left.

nishinoya yuu

You had been chatting to your friend, (friend name) at your school’s courtyard, enjoying your lunch and the afternoon breeze.

Out of the corner of your eyes you noticed the blond streaked second year rolling in the dirt yelling,”rolling thundaaa!”

You couldn’t help but stare and giggle at the hilarious sight, he knocks into his bald friend which breaks into a playful argument.

The two males turn their attention to your giggles and stare wide eyed as they have made a pretty girl laugh.

You flush in embarrassment having Ben caught staring at them and turn back to your friend who snickers at you, she leans into whispering,”blond streak guy is approaching.”

He taps your shoulder and you turn to him,”I’m Nishinoya Yuu and I think you’re cute,”you flush even more red.

“I’m (last name) (first name) and I think you’re funny,”you introduce yourself and the boy nearly blew a fuse, he runs back to his friend who pats him on his back.

tanaka ryuunosuke

The soft jingle of the bell alerts you that a customer has entered the cafe, you quickly rush to the front of the counter ready to take their order.

The voices of teenage boys fills the small cafe, all of them talking loudly, yelling out their orders before their senpai yells at them to be quiet.

“Hi, what would you all like to order today?”you ask politely once they have settled and quieted down, after their senpai ordered for everybody, they all take their seats.

You move to the back of the bar and start making their orders, once finished you brought their orders to their tables.

“milk for #1 setter?”you question as you hold up the cup of warm milk, a boy with midnight hair raises his hand and mumbling a small thank you.

“Caramel Latte for the MVP?”a bald male raises his hand and takes the cup from your hold, his friend elbows his and points towards you.

“Hi. I think you’re hot, I’m Tanaka Ryuunosuke,”he smiles flirtatiously but he gets smacked by his senpai,”Tanaka apologise!”

“I’m sor-,”you cut him off, giggling at his antics, he was kinda cute. “Thank you, I’m (last name) (first name),”you wink at the male before giving the rest their drinks.

His cheeks heat up as his team teases him.

kageyama tobio

I’ll be partnering everyone up for the semester long project, you have the whole semester to work on this.”your sensei announces and all the students groan in annoyance.

“Kageyama and (last name),”you turn to the grumpy male offering a small wave only to receive a scowl in return.

Well this was going to be a long and fun project, you sigh. Your partner was already not up for it, after all the announcements you approach him.

“Kageyama-san, how do you want to go about our project?”you ask as you pulled a chair to sit across him, he blushes but hides his face from you.

“I-I-I can do it after my volleyball practice.”he curses himself for stammering,”oh okay, should we exchange numbers?”you tilt your head.

“S-sure,”he hands you is phone and in return you hand him yours, your classmates look in shock as the setter’s ears burn hot.

“We can start on it this weekend, just message me after your practice.”

hinata shouyo

“(last name)-san, would it be okay if you tutored a fellow classman?”Takeda sensei asked apologetically,”I don’t mind sensei,”you offered the stressed sensei a gentle smile.

“Thank you, (last name)-san, his name is Hinata Shouyo,”he points to the orange haired male jumping around the courtyard.

“Hinata!”Takeda sensei calls the energetic male and he bounces over to both of you,”This (last name) (first name), she’ll help you with your exams,”the male nods in understanding.

“Please listen to her, if you don’t pass you won’t be able to go to the training camp in Tokyo,”Takeda sensei warns him and it petrifies the poor boy. “Yes I will,”he salutes sensei before turning his attention to you.

“Help me beat bakageyama!”he bows to you and you can’t help but laugh, who’s bakageyama?

tsukishima kei

You huff in frustration, it has been five minutes and you were in the same situation. The book that you have been needing still sat at the top most shelf and you were still unable to reach it.

You stand on your tippy toes and attempt to at least touch the dammed book. Your finger grazes the spine of the book but that was it.

“I swear!”you quietly say and ball your fists, a large shadow looms over you and takes the book from the shelf with ease.

You crane your head to your hero and you are met with the sour face of your tall blond classmate, he drops the book in your hands.

“Thank you Tsukishima-san,”you gratefully bow your head in thanks earning yourself a “tch” sound as a reply.

“Elementary students do not belong here (last name),”he says before returning to his seat.

You stand in your spot even more annoyed and embarrassed with enflamed cheeks.

yamaguchi tadashi

“Excuse me, are you Yamaguchi-san?”you ask the green haired male, he turns to you and nods shyly. “You must be (last name)-san?”he asks back.

“Yup. Thank you for accepting to tutor me in algebra.”you bow your head, the male becomes flustered and his cheeks burn red as the whole class turns their attention to the both of you.

“It’s n-no problem (last name)-san,”he managed to get out and you jump in joy startling the poor green haired male.

“We can meet up after my practice,”he says and you nod your head,”okay. I’ll be waiting Yamaguchi-san.”you yells as you sprint out of the class in a hurry.

Leaving the poor boy flustered.

Top 5 little nightmares antagonist?

put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer

oh boy oh boy hmmm

1. Thin man

I mean yeah....? Thin man really is a tragic villain plain and simple. poor boy got done dirty and sit on that chair and twistedd into the monster against his will.....but he is, in all account, a villain regardless. Because I do believe he’s responsible for all the deaths of children and viewer and state of the world. He may be Six’s victim but everything else that come afterward is on him (or the eyes). And I also believe that his decision to choose revenge is ultimately what continue to loop(that or the eyes). and yes, I do believe that he just go after Six only out of revenge and not because he want to save himself. While Thin dad is cute in fanfiction, for my own intrepitation I just don’t think that he cares about Mono at all. He seems like the type who would think of his younger self as naive and idiotic and would punt him into the moon if he could. He just grabbed Six and left to do the torture and only chase after Mono when he attempted to pull her out. I feel bad for Mono but if I’m being real harsh I’m not as sympathetic toward Thin man as the others.

That being said the decision to put him in number one is not as clear cut. It’s mostly only because of Mono and how impact his character is toward the franchise as a whole but as a good antagonist eh I’m not quite sure. He’s definitely above the other but he doesn’t scare me and while everything is revolt around him his actual screentime (as thin man) isn’t a lot so we didn’t get to see his villainly in action that much but whatever the tragic jaded big bad is always my cup of tea

2. The eye/flesh/tower

Currently I'm whole heartly believe that this bastard (bastards?) is behind absolutely everything. The eldrich parasitic monster just drop down on earth one day and decided to fuck shit up and make everything about them. They are the palpatine to Thin man’s Anakin. Their pressence is everywhere so they definitely an overlord of a source. We do’t know much about them let alone if they have personality or motivation at all which is why they’re not number one. But the idea of eldrich monster villain behind everything is still cool.

3. Roger/Janitor I think Janitor has the most iconic design, more than Thin man, More than the lady. I think along with Six he is like the face of the franchise. He also scared me the most. Not because of his design but because of his AI. Thin man and Lady are mostly scripted. Chef are very easy to bully but Roger really make me be very cautious to take a step by how unpredictable and the range he has.

4. The lady The lady is the horrible person. she’s greedy, she’s vain, she kills children and I don’t have much sympathize for her compare to Thin man which my patience for him is already...heh thin. and unlike him too she doesn’t get the luxury of  getting a like by being the older version of my fav character bacuse I don’t believe that she is Six. She also like...lowkey get outshine by other monsters in her game. like idk maybe it’s just for me but her pressence isn’t as strong as the janitor or even the chef

but I put her on this spot mainly for the one scene she has, which is when Six came back with the mirror and she just stood there waiting with her back turn, reading it like that it almost like she’s accepting her fate but not going down without a fight. that was quite badass. so I put her here

5.-6. Hunter and Teacher I'm going to cheat and put this two together because I can't decided who I would put on top the other. On one hand, The teacher is much more iconic and scarier than the hunter. She's basically the second game's Roger while Hunter has very short screentime and not as stick out compare to the rest. On the other hand, Hunter is just the short angry man with the short gun and straight up shooting kids. I find that very endearing. plus his theme slaps and the opening atmosphere of his level is the best way to opening LN2 10/10

[the-acid-pear]

I did my homework and i did my chores, time to tackle on the third book of this series, Son of Ogre

Chapter 1

Okay but the fuck is Baki planning to do if he stops fighting? That's literally all he has, he's not smart

WOOH THATS A BIT REALISTIC

PREHISTORIC ELEPHANT?!

King just went to have a snack. Also FUCK does that meat look tasty FUCKKK

This baby so cute 🥺

I'm so glad Yuji is doing stupid hilarious shit again it had been a while

Congrats on Baki for that mantis

Chapter 2

Who tf is this kid?

Poor kid lmao, i assume he will meet Baki

Look at my boyyy

HSTSRFAYDF DON'T CALL HIM A MANLET

Imagine Baki actually kills this kid HSJDYSSHCBT

Third comment with a ton of likes is "we do not condone child violence. We do, however, find it hilarious"

Chapter 3

AH SHUT UPPP KIDDO

But i like Baki memeing a round a lil

Chapter 4

🥺🥺 that's so sweet...

HELLOOOO STRYDUM MY GOD YOUR TITS GOT FATTER SIR 😳😳

Yujiro is such a fucking threat to society lmao

I love seeing Baki with his eyes open, he's looking more like his old self

Oh, shadow boxing incoming, alright

Chapter 5

Yuri? 🥺 /j

THE RETURN OF IRON MICHAEL?!

Chapter 6

I love how there's our silly little mains after every cover LUV em <33

Baki just dissociating his ass out and using it on his favor, the king

Why is Baki eating sour prunes aren't those meant to be sweet?

We all salivating

Chapter 7

Love to see there are even more swears there now

I can put my face next to my foot too tho

FAGDRJSEHARD YUJIRO CAN BEAT THE CANCER HOW ICONIC 😍

Also i would LOVE to see Yuji fight an Orca

WHAT?!

I love how everyone in the comments is calling out Rumina for not seeing issue going down to a dark hidden basement with a shirtless man older than him

Chapter 8

"piggy back me" USHSYFLFUDSY

This fight is going to be good

Chapter 9

Imagine Baki dies right here right know against an imaginary mantis lmao

Okay Baki getting damaged makes sense but the WALL?

Baki's dead (GOD IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HAVE SAID THAT)

Ffs it's true Baki COULD create himself a stand 😰

Chapter 10

OH FUCK IT'S TRUE

Chapter 11

This fight is so boring i had to take a 6 hour break

Baki just can't win against nature eh

This reminds me of Garland pulling a suplex on that Anaconda

Chapter 12

I can't wait for the main cast to ACTUALLY appear, instead of just, you know, them in the covers

This fight is slow but cool but slow

To fight a mantis you must think like a mantis 😎

Though it's true in this manga you will most likely win if you steal your opponent techniques so

Chapter 13

I MISS IGARI FUCKKK

This is so dumb i luv it

That mantis be swearing lmao

Love it when Baki goes full Yujiro

Chapter 14

TOBA...

Holy fuck do mantis fly?

Secret Chapter?

Is this how Yujiro got born?

Idk girl i would have killed him if i was you

WHAT.

I KNOW THOSE FROGS THEY ARE FROM PUERTO RICO I THINK

I might just be sleepy but this is so confusing

AKSHSKGSKSGSJSG JUST KILL THE BABY IT AINT THAT HARD

Chapter 15

GAIA...

Why is he like this?

Is "he" with us right now?

...gotta admit that IS true...

I love Strydum sksgwhwg

Yujiro really went XD

I don't think my man Arun in the comments is aware how gay what he said is, though maybe I'm wrong

Chapter 16

GOD THESE FUCKING COVERS MAKING ME SO NOSTALGIC, LOOK AT SPEC!

ANIME KENNEDY?!

I can't believe Bush is dead

AN ASIAN BOY HAS JUST KIDNAPPED THE PRESIDENT...

8 of January? My god he's a Capricorn

I'm sorry, what?

LAHQIGWKQFWKSFWIWG 😭😭

I love Baki so much, THIS IS THE KID THAT I MISSED SO MUCH

This explains why Baki was in prison clothes in the anime teaser

Chapter 17

BIG NUMBER

That one mf like 😐

Glad Baki is 18 now at least 😌

Love to see Oliva back

Chapter 18

This page not even bothering to charge the pages anymore

I'm sure there were better ways to go to jail, well, actually, no, but still

Toba used to just chew that off

Baki did that mantis hit you in the head too hard?

I. I watched way too many prison movies and shows. I don't like seeing someone as young and pretty as Baki in such a place. I rlly don't.

Chapter 19

Yanagi baby i miss you...

IRON MICHAEL?!

Mfkhsjsys 😳🥴

Eh got my hopes too high

CHE BAKI PIBE... LA PUTA MADRE NI ACA ME ESCAPO DE MIS COMPATRIOTAS

I hope he swears too i want to see a boludo o pelotudo PLEASE

I mean para pelotudos lo veo a Yujiro todo el tiempo pero igual JSGWKEGWG me pone bien argento ver al Che carajo

Chapter 20

HE SAID BOLUDO SUAHWKWGAKSGSKSGSKGD

I can't take this omfg new fav I'm sorry Doppo but he just said boludo 😭

Pendejo is more used as pibe here but i will let it pass bc idk the lingo in Cuba and he spent some time there so

Why don't i speak like this too ffs? All i do is say eh and call it a day

He's cocky enough to call anybody any age pibe so I'll let that pass too

Por favor no lo hagas che sksgwj

Chapter 21

Che, pibe, it's a good day to die...

Chapter 22

GSHAGSTSG he should have said "no boludo"

I'm falling in love with this boludo myself

That's talented and brutal

OH RIGHT YOU LOSE YOUR BALANCE WHEN YOU DONT HAVE THAT

Chapter 23

Hm that's, cringe

YESSS HE SAID PELOTUDO

OAHWLGWKQFSKSGSJS SIII ROMPELO TODO CHE, ROMPELO TODO POR DECIRTE YANKEE KSGSSJGS

Honestly i too get pissed off when called American or European, though i won't throw shit to Baki, he's some random 18 yo japanese boy, no way he would recognize latinoamerican lingo lmao

King shit Baki boy

Chapter 24

Oh that's why he's called Jun Guevara, that's fair

I like how they are mixing a bit of truth and a bit of lie it's fun at least

Chapter 25

I like how they are drawing nipples now, occasionally

I can't wait for Viêt to complain about propaganda in the comments

OH SHIT

😳 :Y

He's sooo nice 😍

Chapter 26

Only three? You mean the third is... 👁️👁️

HAHA YEAH YUJI-CHAN <3

I can't believe he works for the USA I'm crying and shaking rn

What a progressive manga, the three strongest and most dangerous men and none of them are white 😍

GET HIS ASS BAKI

Chapter 27

Why is this guy sweating sm?

LDYDYSUGFUDT BAKI PLS

I like how the only time Baki was willing to kill a person was when he thought Sikorsky had hurt his girl

Chapter 28

I feel like Ian will die

Man i love how Baki is drawn in this book

Ffs i called it, i have watched way too many prison things to know how shit goes down

I have seen these three before in fanart but I'm curious to see what they can do

Chapter 29

Their faces remind me of Doyle

OH I CANT WAIT TO SEE EM IN THE ANIME

ASSHOLE DON'T CALL ME STUPID 😢💔

I'm gonna struggle to tell em apart but i think I'll manage

Okay I'm not the only one who thinks they look like Doyle, fair

Chapter 30

The mouth vs Yujiro when?

Someone mentioned the have the same vibe as the dudes that worked with Gaia and like 👁️👁️

Chapter 31

Lmao someone in the comments recommended the same thing

These three must be great at sex (sorry)

KSHALDHDKD NEW FAV COMMENT: "go to Japan and look for the word "defeat". That way you won't feel cocky anymore"

Chapter 32

Hehe hello Junnn~

KSHAKDHKWGS

La luna

Chapter 33

LOS TRES...

Okay that's funny, hocico instead of mouth (hocico is used for animal mouths)

I'm so glad i know Spanish

The two things that drive me insane and make me ramble are Doppo's beauty and this stupid argentinian

OSHSKWGSKSG

Chapter 34

Imagine he's doing that illusion thing Dorian did

With his own blood, that's so cool...

Hoho...!

I did that once when i had a terrible nose bleed, didn't go well

Chapter 35

This book is fucking boring NGL

"now that you got no more urine left in you"

ÑSHWQLSGOSGDKW

Chapter 37

I luv Oliva lol

AJSGSKSLAGHS BAKI SNAPPED

I too wonder where the fuck Kozue is

Chapter 38

LSHSLDGSLSGSIEG

He is jealous of what you two have, it's normal, el Che just rejected his love after all ;/

Oliva is a king

OH A HANKERCHIEF I THOUGHT THAT WAS UNDERWEAR SHSGS-

Oh shit Oliva is like 45?! He looked so young

Te fuiste a la mierda, Che, el chabón estaba siendo re bueno con vos

Baki is just dead

Chapter 39

I love how realistic Che's fear is, he's rather smart, though not this time

POOR GUY AJSGSWJW

I didn't realize Che said "what more, it may be a woman!" but to be fair they ARE in jail so

Chapter 40

I'm feeling kinda bad for him ngl

I feel happy for him tho 🥺

Bruh they added one page after the ending of some naked anime girl tf 😐

Chapter 41

These prisoners having fun is kinda sweet

YO INSANE

Bitches be complaining about Maria's looks are just jealous 🥰

Chapter 42

Damn she lorge

He loves fighting naked eh

Only valid person is the one saying Oliva deserves better treatment which tbh true

Chapter 43

Fun fact i wear my jacket like El Che too, unless it's too cold

El che with the hair lose is so cute bro,,,

Something something fingering joke

Sikorski could fold a coin too

I bet the bandana will break

Chapter 44

I would have just fallen on top of him, how is he gonna counter that, eh?

Oh that super fun to know!

Oh the good ol dirty technique, i have seen this one before!

Chapter 45

NOOO MARIA DON'T DO THIS TO HIM

This fight is super cool tho i love these two characters

Chapter 46

They just keep changing the rules i think Itagaki is just flexing at this point

LAAOSFKAGSKAGSKAF???

Baki wants his protagonism back

I'm getting pissed off they keep putting semi naked underaged girls at the end of every chapter 😐

Chapter 47

Bruh just realized, the mouth got so hyped as this new cool villain and they died in their first appearance 😭

His damn bandana...
