author’s note: crawling out of my hole to give you this filthy filth in celebration of the bengals going to the AFC championship! now excuse me i must go take a cold shower and get to my scheduled exorcism because i need church after writing this.

don’t be shy to like and reblog if you enjoyed. as creators say, likes are amazing but reblogs go a long way in sharing my work. thank y’all!!!!!

For more of my smut, read Sturdy. For fluff, check out Capturing You, because your girl can do both. <3

enjoy under the cut!

No matter what, Joe was a winner to you.

And you never really let it get to your head too much, especially when you were watching him from the stands, whatever the team’s score was. You were endlessly proud of him, win or lose, because you’d been there from the very beginning. Even when he was still at Ohio State and barely even saw the field, you gleamed with pride. But honestly, it had been pissing you off a little bit—and you’re typically mild-mannered, some might even go as far as saying meek—to hear everyone doubt Joe, and the whole team for that matter.

“It’s just trash talk, baby,” Joe would soothe you the moment you heard about all this bullshit about neutral sites, ticket sales. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head and reached over to close your laptop, cutting out the noise in a way. “If that gets to ya, you should hear what some guys say on the field.” He cracked a grin and that made things better.

You tried out logic for a while. It wasn’t like pre-selling tickets to a matchup was unheard of; it was basically customary in any sport. Even protocol. And that satiated you for now. You didn’t notice, but Joe actually liked seeing a little bit of that fire in you—this newfound willingness to prove someone wrong. You were always someone who didn’t care too much about what others thought, which was why he wanted even more to win against the Bills on Sunday, just for you; because as much as you were proud of him no matter what, he also liked your praise just as much. He wanted to make you proud.

So come Sunday, when it was the fourth quarter and the Bills were too behind to catch up to the Bengals’ score and that timer was running out, you couldn’t hide how happy you were for him. You watched him from the stands with a big stupid smile on your face because this was who Joe Burrow was—your Joe. He was a winner, a champion, and the sooner people started to realize that, the better. And what a helluva way to prove them wrong with just four words:

“Better send those refunds.”

—

You sat there, mouth slightly falling open. The bright light of your phone’s screen illuminated your face in the otherwise dark parking lot, at a gas station somewhere in the outskirts of Cincinnati, about five minutes away from yours and Joe’s place. You were catching up on all the social media, retweeting things, reposting stories, acknowledging everything you could that was singing Joe’s praises because goddamn if he didn’t deserve it. And that was when you caught this clip of Joe’s postgame interview.

Better send those refunds.

You were no stranger to his hijinks. You loved how fired up he got after a great game and an even better win. You loved how he was slowly opening up to the media, showing a little more of the goofy person you know him to be (though you secretly wished he’d kept it all for you). But this… Something was different about this.

You were suddenly startled by Joe opening the door to his car, entering the driver’s seat and handing a plastic bag over to you. Without much thought, you grabbed it. “What’s this?” you asked.

He snickered at this. “Your snacks, sweetheart.” Oh, that’s right—you had run out of your celebratory post-game Oreos at the house and wanted him to grab a quick pack.

With a chuckle, you played it off. “Thanks.”

He started the car and began pulling out of the parking lot, but not without question. “You good, baby?”

“Yep,” you croaked out. You turned beet red and thanked God it was dark outside so he couldn’t see. You both laughed about how your voice broke just then.

A few seconds passed before you spoke again. You willed up some confidence. “It’s just… You know, I can’t let it go. About how they were selling those tickets before they even knew who was going to play in the Championship.”

“Ah, I know, babe.” He reached over and patted your knee. “But that doesn’t matter, ‘cause we’re gonna be there next week.”

“I know, I know, but… What was it you said at that interview after the game? ‘Give the tickets back,’ or something like that?” You purposely watered down his words, wanting him to correct you.

“Nah, nah, you’re butchering it,” he said, laughing. “I don’t remember what I said, really.”

“Oh, c’mon. You remember,” you insisted teasingly. “I bet you had it bubbling up. You thought of it last week, probably, and kept rehearsing it over and over again so you got it right by the time you had to say it.”

Joe scoffed, reaching over and ruffling your hair. “Where’s this comin’ from, bug?” His sweet little nickname for you. He always treated you like you were small, and you liked that. But you didn’t want to sink into it, not yet—you wanted this first.

“Just say it. You remember what you said.”

“Hmm.” At a red light, he stopped the car and looked over at you. His perplexed expression was smoldering even when dimly lit crimson.

Biting your lip, you waited.

“I know what I said,” he finally confessed.

“Yeah?” you squirmed a bit in your seat. The light was still red.

“I said, ‘Better send those refunds.’”

“Mmm.” You couldn’t hold back your whimper. It was involuntary. Sometimes it shocked you, still, the effect that Joe Burrow had on you. Even after all these years. But you caught yourself and added, “Mmmhmm. That’s what you said.”

He didn’t let you get away with it, though. He never did.

As the light turned green, Joe slowly accelerated forward; you were the only car on these quiet streets. He said nothing. You bit back your smile as you looked out of the window, pretending like nothing happened.

Then, you felt it. He brought his right hand down from the wheel to pat your knee again, but it wasn’t a silly pat this time. He started rubbing his huge hand on your knee, slowly lowering it to your inner thigh. You thought his touch was going to burn a hole in your leggings. But you weren’t done.

“Better send those refunds,” you repeated, somewhat more enunciated, voice a bit breathy. But you didn’t want to make it obvious that his touch had already gotten to you; that you’d already been soaked from the moment he got back in the car. You let out a soft chuckle. “I mean, it’s true. They knew better than to doubt you.”

“Hmph.” Joe seemed to be satisfied by your words.

“I mean, right? God, this should show them that they’re stupid for even thinking about selling those tickets in the first place, whether it’s protocol or not,” you continued. His hand on your thigh just kept moving higher and higher. Your next words came out with a slight gasp: “You’re the fucking best, Joe. And if they don’t know that by now…”

When his hand finally snuck between your thighs, thumb rubbing against your warm pussy over your leggings, you let out a slutty moan. “Daddy.” It was, like that whimper earlier, involuntary. Conditioned.

“Shh. Tell me.” It was the first time you’d heard his voice in a minute, and it was suddenly colored so deep, lustful.

You knew what to say. “I just think you’re—you’re the best, daddy.” Your confidence had waned off a bit, replaced by this slightly bimbofied persona only he knew how to dig out of you. “And you’re so right… they better send those refunds.” You nodded, biting down hard on your lip as he rubbed your clit in circles. You looked at him even if he wasn’t looking at you back; his focused expression as he drove was all you needed to keep getting wetter and wetter.

But you were suddenly disappointed as you felt the car slow down and pull into your house. Those were the fastest five minutes of your life. You wanted it to be like the last time you got frisky in the car, Joe so desperate that you pulled off to the side of the road and fucked you right there. You supposed this was better, though; you could both get out of your clothes easier and didn’t have to wrestle with a pile of winter coats. (It was summer the last time you had car sex; your tiny shorts were easy to pull off.)

“Let’s go,” Joe spoke, stepping out of the car. He was calm as you both headed inside the house.

You dropped off your coat and bag on the wall hook by the door and pathetically set the plastic bag on the kitchen island, feeling his presence somewhere behind you. You looked up at him, biting your lip, seeing him standing in the doorway. He’d taken his shoes and coat off already, just in his warm-ups. When you caught his gaze, his ocean blue eyes looked expectant of you.

“Yes, daddy?”

That was enough to set him off. He walked over to you, towering over you and backing you up against the kitchen island. You gulped, looking up at him. You loved when he made you feel small.

“Better send those refunds.”

You feigned confusion. “Huh?”

Abruptly, he grabbed you by your waist and turned you around, bending you over the counter. He had a fistful of your hair and his cock pressed hard against you, and you felt him breathing in your ear. “I said, you’d better send those refunds.”

“Y-yeah,” you nodded, looking at him through your peripherals, brows curled up. Your mouth hung agape, moaning as he reached his free hand down and grabbed your ass. Just from this, your head was already swirling with dumb pleasure. “Right away, daddy.”

He turned you around and pulled you onto your knees by your hair. You braced yourself by grabbing his thighs and didn’t dare break eye contact from him. Even if his bulge was right in your face. This was the first time in a long time, since the beginning of today, that he’d gotten a look at you. He smirked; you knew he thought you were gorgeous, he didn’t have to say it. This was about him.

“Suck my cock.”

You did as you were told, pulling down his sweatpants and not even allowing yourself a second to admire his length. You took the shaft in your hand and directed the tip of his cock into your mouth, closing your eyes as you expertly began sucking him off. There was no slow burn here; that already happened in the car.

Joe still had your hair in his hand, and it gripped tighter as you blew him. “Mmm. Fuck, baby. Just like that,” he growled. He broke eye contact from you for a moment to lean his head back and close his eyes, focusing on the sound of you gagging over his cock. You took him as far as you could then fucked the back of your throat with the tip of his cock, which was slick in your drool. Your hands held onto his thighs as you whimpered with your mouth full. Even though he wasn’t looking at you, you didn’t break eye contact from him; it made you so wet to watch him go all primal.

Then he grabbed two fistfuls of your hair to make pigtails. You knew that he wanted to control your mouth, so you held your hands behind your back like a good girl and you let him throw your head back and forth against his cock. Your eyes welled up with tears.

He looked down to watch you as he fucked your throat, and he looked so proud to own you. It made you want to be even better at being throatfucked, like you would go to college and get a degree in being a good throat to fuck if you could. You wanted to serve him in that way. You made filthy, wet gagging noises, and babbled when you could; your face was coated in your own drool.

“Alright, get up,” he said, pulling his cock out of your mouth and hoisting you to your feet by your pigtails. He let go of your hair and you sighed in slight relief from the new lack of tension.

“Y-yes daddy,” you gurgled out. Your makeup was ruined, but you still looked pretty to him. He kissed you messily, grabbing both of your cheeks with one hand of his squeezing your face together. Then he gave your face a nice, solid slap.

“You gonna be a good girl for daddy, huh? You gonna take this dick?” he asked, breathless.

You whimpered and nodded. “Yes,” you whimpered. “I want it. I want it so bad. Please.”

Satisfied with your pleading, he forced you on your stomach, bent over against the kitchen island. He pulled down your leggings and lifted your jersey up, and as you watched him over your shoulder, you caught his smirk. Of course you were wearing his number. You knew he liked seeing you wear it and loved fucking you in it even more.

With one hand on your back and the other on the base of his shaft, he slowly directed the tip of his cock inside of you, not shy to groan as he felt how wet you were. “Fuck. Look how wet you are,” he said, tone as if to humiliate you, but you loved it when it came along with praise. “You’re fucking soaked. Are you that much of a slut that seeing me win gets you this fucking soaked and slutty, sweetheart?”

You whimpered, finding yourself almost begging for him to slide in all the way. “Y-yes, daddy. I’m a slut,” you barely got out. Your words were somewhat nasally and high-pitched; you were almost full bimbo at this point. “Please. Please.”

He chuckled at this, pulling back out. He rubbed his tip along the wet, slick slit of your cunt. “Please what?”

“Daddy. Daddy, please fuck me. I can’t take it,” you begged. “I’ll—I’ll get on those refunds right away, daddy. I should’ve known better.”

Joe growled. Satisfied, he shoved deep into you, and held his cock there; you felt his balls graze up against your clit.

“Ah!” you moaned. You braced yourself against the kitchen island, staring at the Oreos.

Then, Joe started to fuck you.

Your eyes rolled to the back of your head and everything went black. You bathed in the pleasure that was his cock pummeling your tight little pussy. You loved how rough he was being. You were losing yourself. You were being owned by Joe Burrow. You were his piece of pussy, and only that.

“Yes. Yes. Yes,” you moaned in conjunction with each thrust of his as he took you from behind.

His hands gripped tightly on your waist, letting out primal groans as he fucked you hard. He wasn’t holding back, and you loved it. “Oh, c’mon, baby. You better get to it,” he spoke, breathily, and yet confidently. “You were gonna do something for me, weren’t you? Before you went all brain-stupid and cock-slutty for your daddy?”

You hated how easily his words came out when all you could think about was his dick obliterating your pussy. The words were jumbled in your head: “Refunds, better send.” And they came out repeatedly in whines. “Refunds. Daddy. Send. Yes. Fuck. Me.”

One of his hands left your waist and you almost began sobbing at that lack of contact only if he didn’t reach up and grab your throat, pulling you up from the cold marble of the kitchen island so you could stand up a bit and watch him fuck you. He held your throat tightly, and you looked over your shoulder as best as you could to catch a blurry image of the most handsome fucking man you’ve ever seen hammer into you. He shoved his thumb in your mouth and you sucked happily. You repositioned your hands on the counter to hold yourself up and continue to be a good slut. His other hand spanked your ass.

“That’s right, baby. Better send those refunds like the stupid fuckin’ bimbo you are,” he growled out, words accented with that smirk you knew he wore while he fucked you. “Take this big fuckin’ daddy cock in your wet, tight little pussy, baby.” His hand left your throat only to dig under your shirt and grab your tits, tugging that bralette down and off your tits. He roughly pinched your nipple and you whined out. Your tits bounced freely in rhythm with his incessant, merciless fucking.

“D-daddy,” you whined, desperately.

“Aw, what’s that? You can’t say anything?” There he was again, pulling out coherent sentences while you babbled.

You’d gone full bimbo by this point. You were far gone, and your only compass was his dick inside of you. You knew nothing else about fuck-all until his cock was drained inside of you, and you would be a good slut-servant until he was done.

But goddamn, you were about to cum. “I—” you whimpered out. “If you keep fucking me like that, daddy, I’m gonna cum.”

He laughed at this. “Oh, yeah?”

“Mhm. Put your—daddy, please—”

You didn’t have to finish your sentence. Joe knew what you needed. His hand left your tit if only to grab your throat again, and his other hand held onto your waist, keeping you still. Otherwise, you’d squirm away from him. He knew you were uncontrollable when you came.

“What’s that, baby? Use your words for daddy, c’mon.” He smirked.

“I’m gonna—” you cried out.

He timed his thrusts with these next few words, feeling close to climaxing himself: “You’d. Better. Send. Those. Fucking. Refunds. You. Fucking. Slut.”

And with that, you came hard all over his cock, clenching your tight, wet walls around him. “God, daddy! I’m cumming! Yes! Don’t stop!” You closed your eyes and indeed, squirmed around a ton, and he had to hold your waist to keep you still.

“Fuck. I’m gonna cum, too, baby.” He grunted, wrangling and fucking you at the same time, and at the feeling of your walls clenching around him, shot his white hot load deep inside you. You felt him filling you up, the warmth of his load sinking deep into your stomach. You both slowed down, breathing hard.

With him still inside of you, you slumped forward, laying your top half down on the counter. You looked over your shoulder up at him, then cracked a grin.

And he broke into a smile, too, gleaming with pride. He’d never admit it, but you turned him into such an animal. It was even sweeter when the clouds had all cleared and all you both felt was bliss.

You lifted a heavy, lifeless arm to reach across the counter. You pulled the plastic bag closer and took out the package of Oreos. Barely functioning and breathing hard, you put all your effort into ripping that stupid, plastic seal off the package, revealing three rows of double-stuffed sandwich cookies. You pulled one out and offered it over your shoulder to him. “Want a celebratory Oreo, champ?” you asked.

He took it with a snicker. “Yeah, sweetheart. I sure do.”

S04 part the first liveblog

It's kind of cute that Maddie and Chimney are living with each other's siblings during the pandemic

Who is Buck's new ~covid crush?

Honestly I love when this show does jumpscares that have me staring at my screen like :O. The bus coming through the window while they're fighting was great.

May's doing 911 dispatch?? That's so fun and I bet she'll be great at it

Gosh now I like everyone on the bus and I hope they're OK

I'm in love with CJ. Saves a man's life, makes a joke about how he's working on his eye contact

They're all OK!

4x02

Lmfao it's obvious neither Chimney or Buck have ever used a baby monitor before. I have absolutely forgotten to put the receiver down when going to pick up the baby and I knew immediately how to find that kid

Aw Buck's covid crush is actually a therapist!!

4x03

Yeah no there's no way these students' first experience with cadavers would involve them dissecting said cadavers. I took a year's worth of human anatomy in university and never touched a scalpel once.

Delighted by every Buck+Eddie+Christopher scene

Lmfao watching Hen negotiate with a toddler feels reaaaal familiar

Except that her toddler still responds to "swap?"

Omg Buck and Christopher pulling that prank on Eddie, adorable!!

I feel like I missed some kind of crossover event, should I look into that at some point?

4x04

Oh just like I said May is doing a great at this job. She really takes after her mother, I love it

Eddie and Buck are being DORKS at the crime scene it's CUTE

Ok the hell did Maddie tell Chimney about Buck?

Omg Albert just straight up running away so Chimney won't tell him the secret this is amazing

Wow Chimney really is bad at keeping secrets it's very funny

Oh that was a really good scene, the family dinner and Buck's break down. It was sad but really good

Ohhh secret brother!! I actually low-key guessed it was something like that

4x05

Oh Jesus, Buck was the baby they had to try and save their first baby, but he didn't. That explains a LOT.

Wow, this really does explain a buuuunch

Did they always plan this as Buck's backstory because I can't get over how well it clicks everything into place (and some stuff about Maddie too)

Oh Maddie, you should have gone with him

Oh man she nearly did, oh wow, that's crazy

This guy in the hand sanitiser place is hilarious "this [mask] is helping. The fire is not."

Oh, Buck. This is a bad time for you to lose one

oh no everyone's there and helping T_____T

Oh no I'm gonna cry over Maddie and Buck and Buck asking her to tell him about Daniel and Buckley siblings oh no

4x06

Okay one more and then I'll sleep

Lmfao this episode is off to a very entertaining start I love dumb superstition episodes

Eddie stop flirting while you're supposed to be working (jk she's cute)

I was right this episode is GREAT

Plus I greatly enjoy Eddie the skeptic

"Is it a curse or a jinx?" I'm crying at how seriously they're taking it

Who the hell is this guy from the 147

Oh it's a whole thing I see

So glad we got a hijinks episode, delightful

Fic Recs Vol. 2: TMA hasn't let me go!

So, we're here once again! Wanted to make another rec list as I made the last one quite a bit ago and thought I'd just spread the good writing I've been soaking up like a plant the past few weeks. Some of these are recent, others not, it's mostly just anything I really really enjoyed and had in the first few pages of my bookmarks on AO3.

Let's get started:

we'll embrace that much longer (make more of a mess) by SmallishWormMasterOfTheUniverse. A Jon and Tim centric fic centered around a pair of handcuffs that locks the duo together. Hijinks ensue.

hanging curtain rods in hopes of windows by epilobium. Safehouse fic (my personal favorite genre of jmart fic). Honestly, never read a safehouse fic that made me yearn more than this one. Something about it just hit all the right notes in my heart. Safehouse in general is amazing. Keep doing what you do, safehouse era writers!

so revival/so alone by heartshapedguy. Another safehouse fic (big surprise there) that is also focused on the sheer capacity for yearning that the safehouse era holds. Also a very good study in how hard it is for depression to allow love into your heart. How it makes it impossible to believe that anyone could be in love with you, truly. jmart lovers, your food has arrived!

I warn you, baby, each night, as sure as you're born (you'll hear me howling outside your door) by distortiondaisiras. A great, I mean, truly great fic about the Basira and Jon dynamic we could've had on tape. Jon, who loves Daisy in his familial "I have no one to take care of me" way, and Basira, who loves Daisy in a slightly more obvious "You are the only one who could understand why I do the things I do" but complicated way nonetheless.

Surprise, Gertie: We've Unionized (subheading) In More Ways Than One by dduucckk. An amazing polychives fic for all of my polychives lovers. Features Gertrude Robinson, a statement or two, in-field research that should not be done by archival assistants, and love finding a way, always.

dragon slayer by hueue. Alternate meeting for jmart where Jon is already in his full monstrous transformation. He attempts to take Martin Blackwood's statement. Martin Blackwood, being the stubborn man he is, says, firmly, no. Somehow, they end up behaving like a married couple by the end.

i will not ask you where you came from by flwergardens. This fic is amazing. Truly. Reads like a statement that you would find in the Archives. Alternate universe. Jon's husband comes back from the dead. It is his husband. Obviously. Why wouldn't it be? (Spoiler/Not Spoiler: That's not his husband!)

#tma #the magnus archives #jmart #fic recs #fic #fanfic #fic recs 2 electric boogaloo

The Family Drama Legacy Challenge

I was looking for a new legacy challenge that would inspire me, but nothing caught my attention, so I decided to make one of my own! This challenge is obviously inspired by existing challenges, such as Not So Berry and Sims In Bloom, which I love. I wanted to use some of the elements I’ve enjoyed both as a player and as someone who watches others’ playthroughs of different challenges, but for this challenge I wanted to add in more DRAMA! The idea for generation 1 popped into my head, and the rest was history. I’ll be starting my own playthrough, but if you decide to try it, please tag #FamilyDramaLegacy and/or #CarniliaSims so I can see your creations!

Rules:

Each generation has assigned traits, skills, aspirations, and careers. Each generation’s heir must complete their aspiration, reach the top of their career, and master the required skills.

Create your founding Sim as a Young Adult according to the generation 1 requirements, then move them into a lot of your choice. You may purchase a home with your starting funds, or for hard mode bulldoze the lot and start with 0 simoleons.

You choose which child will be the heir for the next generation– adoptions and science babies are allowed, and there are no gender restrictions (who needs ‘em!)

Each heir MUST move out of their family’s home some time during their Young Adult life stage (or sooner), and can take no more money than is required to purchase their new home + 5,000 simoleons.

Each generation has 2 colors assigned to it. Use these for inspiration/guidance to whatever level you desire when it comes to hair, clothing, decor, etc.

If you can’t follow a rule or fulfill a requirement because you don’t have the pack/DLC, just switch it to something different! The whole idea of this challenge is to have wacky hijinks and fun doing things you may not normally do in your gameplay, so go for it!

Gen 1, pale blue + yellow:

You had to leave your old identity behind, and are starting fresh in a new place. When you reach the Adult life stage, go into CAS and add a biological teenage child— this child just showed up unexpectedly at your door, and now has to join your household. (You decide why there is a surprise child from your past— was your sim a donor or did they give up a baby for adoption, and now this teen has looked them up, wanting to learn where they come from? Did a former partner or 1 night stand get pregnant? If so, did your sim know about this child or not? Did the person they were previously living with pass away or kick them out? Or did they run away?)

Traits: paranoid, romantic, adventurous

Career: secret agent

Aspiration: championship rider

Skills: horse riding, painting

Requirements:

1. surprise child (see above description)

2. Get divorced and then marry someone else

Gen 2, green + white:

You resent your parent for not providing you with the childhood you feel you should have had, and you are determined to have the perfect family life. You’ll give your kids the best, have a perfect marriage, and make sure they never want for anything. That will show your parent just how much better than them you are!

Traits: overachiever, jealous, family oriented

Career: astronaut

Aspiration: super parent

Skills: fitness, rocket science

Requirements:

1. Have at least 4 children

2. Gain the close, supportive, or permissive family dynamic with all of your children, but the difficult or distant dynamic with your Gen 1 parent

Gen 3, purple + silver:

Honestly, you never really had to try that hard growing up, and things just seem to go your way– it’s too bad drama seems to just follow you wherever you go, but that’s definitely not because of anything YOU are doing, right? Whatever, let’s have drinks and go to a party!!!

Traits: erratic, outgoing, mean

Career: style influencer

Aspiration: party animal

Skills: charisma, mixology

Requirements:

1. Accept every city festival invitation

2. Have at least 1 child with someone other than your partner by cheating

Gen 4, light pink + mint green:

Growing up with a parent who was so chaotic was definitely interesting, but it lead to you having a bit of a hard time controlling your impulses, which can cause problems. You find yourself interested in Selvadorada and travel there completely on a whim. Once there you not only fall in love with the culture, you have a whirlwind romance with a local and spontaneously elope!

Traits: lactose intolerant, hot-headed, art lover

Career: social media

Aspiration: jungle explorer OR archaeology

Skills: Selvadoradian culture, comedy

Requirements:

1. Must accept all family dynamic prompts

2. Use simple living lot challenge for the entire generation (on home lot only, not required on vacations)

3. Meet and elope with someone in Selvadorada

Gen 5, red + gold:

You’ve always been different from the rest of your family, whether they sensed it or not. Creating discord and misery are just fun for you, and you have no intention of stopping. You love to get to know people enough to find ways to sabotage them, and being a gorgeous, charismatic musician means you’ve got the skills to throw everyone off your trail…

Traits: self absorbed, evil, kleptomaniac

Career: NONE (see additional requirements)

Aspiration: villainous valentine

Skills: any instrument, charisma

Requirements:

1. Move to a different world than the one you grew up in

2. Have no job, only earn money through hacking, stealing, and asking for loans that you NEVER repay

3. Never settle down with a romantic partner

Gen 6, black + white:

Not coming from the most loving home, you crave the attention and admiration of others. You deserve to live in the lap of luxury, and you’ll do whatever and whoever it takes to become rich and famous, and one day live in the penthouse of your dreams.

Traits: high maintenance, neat, snob

Career: actor

Aspiration: city native

Skills: painting, singing

Requirements:

1. Break off an engagement

2. Become at least a 4 star celebrity

3. Make it to owning a penthouse

Gen 7, violet + gray:

Growing up in the lap of luxury left you curious about the beauty of nature and more simple things, so you love to go camping in the woods. Having up with a parent who is so flighty and self-absorbed gave you a deep need to be loved by anyone and everyone, but also left you questioning whether you really deserve it. It’s a perfect recipe for self-sabotage! You want to be loved, but no one seems to love you the way you need (or maybe you just always get scared and run away at the first sign of trouble?)

Traits: non-committal, gloomy, perfectionist

Career: business

Aspiration: outdoor enthusiast

Skills: nectar making, bowling

Requirements:

1. Go on vacation at least twice as a Young Adult and twice as an Adult

2. Have at least 3 spouses in your lifetime

Gen 8, orange + blue:

It was hard to see your parent’s tumultuous love life growing up, and you always told yourself that you’d be different– it’s a bad idea to be impulsive and marry too quickly, before you know you’ve found the right person! You decide to date around while you are young, and since you decide to put marriage on the back-burner, you pour your heart into your friend group, who are more like family to you.

Traits: self assured, loyal, materialistic

Career: scientist

Aspiration: extreme sports

Skills: logic, dancing

Any predictions for season 6 of cobra kai? i think it’s gonna suck, johnny will continue to be a shitty dad/character and be rewarded for it, chozen and kumiko will get married but still love daniel, and terry will either not return or die 8(

None.

I haven't the foggiest. Johnny becoming a better person by facing his fuckups and using karate for something good has been almost completely abandoned, largely because the storytelling refuses to admit, by and large, that they are fuckups. I have a lot of trouble remembering what S3 was about for Johnny, and this is where they dropped the ball for me the most - if they'd spent most of the time on Daniel pulling Miguel and Johnny closer to Miyagi-Do, which may have seemed all saintly until Daniel straight up nearly does a murder and then you get his Terry arc and Johnny finally snaps out of himself enough to go... dude? Dude are you ok? And having a justified freakout with dafuq, dafuq, that psycho has my son, well, then I could have seen s5 as his healing with Robby arc mostly through them helping Daniel together because their friend and sensei is not doing so hot. Miguel's arc could have been about defining himself without a father figure, he may have even bonded with Daniel a little about not having one, maybe even snapped Daniel out of his Miyagi worship. I think it would have been a million layers of hilarious if it hadn't been Daniel who'd called Chozen over, but Johnny.

I really loved S5 for Chozen and Chozen and Terry, and of course Daniel and Terry. But if they'd manage to weave Johnny in a bit better, I think S6 could have been about Johnny finally becoming Robby's primary teacher, Daniel Tory's and Miguel, Sam helping Tory as she is the most well versed in both styles already.

Maybe S6 will be about finally streamlining and merging their styles to become effective but honestly...? The scripts have been focused on milking every callback imaginable, and other than Next Karate Kid, they have nothing left to milk. Maybe it could still be about Johnny becoming an actual father to all his kids through the baby but they have shown no interest in that whatsoever. Daniel's original arc is "you have to allow for more aggression and let go of Miyagi-Do", except we all know what happens then, his murderous tendencies come out and those have actually been channeled neatly into his blending of Quicksilver in a Miyagi-Do frame, so that's done.

Thematically for them, this would have to be about Fatherhood, Johnny's with Robby and Miguel and Daniel's with not having had one and never getting over that. But there's still 336 teenagers to wrangle the stories of and previously they haven't shown much subtlety in handling any of the Daddy issues so what I think will happen is them creating a new villain for the Sekai Taikai, vanquishing them, a Jarmen wedding and some baby hijinks.

Terry may or may not be there to look menacing and bribe a judge. And some kind of Anthony Kenny drama. It would be interesting if Shawn came to Robby with "tf did you do to my brother?!" but again I think that is too complicated.

symbrock, both if you want 4, 5, 21, 22, 23, 25

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Honestly? I would love to play a video game of a down trodden man befriending a blood-thirsty alien that shares his body. Is it an RPG? A horror? A dating sim?

YES

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Goddamn you.

You know music is my weak area as a patron of the silences. Which means that songs don’t just come to my mind when I think of characters. However, I’m going to go find something. Just… hold on. It’s going to take me at least 30 minutes.

High Enough — K Flay

Go With the Flow — QotSA

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

Monsterfucking, baby. There are so many things you can do when one of the characters is just goo and I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface.

If you want me to be actually serious, there’s something about being fully known by someone else that’s always really compelling to me. Regardless of where the canon comes from (comics, movies, cartoons), it’s clear that the symbiote and Eddie understand each other on a level that’s… beyond. It’s a big part of why I’m drawn to the characters that I’m drawn to, I think, and these two are not an exception.

I don’t like being constrained by the symbiotes method of communication. A lot of the symbiote’s communication in the comics is non-verbal (at least to us, the readers) and it’s SO FUCKING HARD to write. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to eventually create a fic like that — I got close, once — it just means that it’s hard.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

I’m not much of a fic reader BUT I like it when Symbrock fics deal with the moral dilemma that Eddie has to face in regards to eating people. It’s sort of glossed over in the comics and completely ignored in the movies, but the realities of sharing a body with an alien that eats human brains is so interesting and I love it when writers tackle it head on.

Sort of on the flip side, I think it’s too easy to humanize the symbiote in a way that fundamentally changes what their relationship is/can be. When Venom is too human, I don’t particularly enjoy it. I want my cosmic space horror to retain some of their cosmic space horrorness. (Although, I’m sure I’m guilty of this to some extent, too. Like I said, it’s easy to do.)

23. Favorite picture of this character?

What can I say? I’m a sucker for the symbiote acting as clothing and Eddie’s heavy himbo energy.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Initially, I thought Eddie was just living a “boy meets parasite, hijinks ensue” kind of life. And, don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to write that energy. But the deeper you dive into these two, the more entangled they are in ways that border on obsession and possession. On both sides.

Their story is a lot darker than I thought at first which was absolutely not a deterrent. Obviously.

Someday, I’m going to write the dangerously co-dependent fic of my dreams. But not today.

ARC Review: Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark

3.75/5. Re-releases 7/25/2023.

For when you're vibing with... a softer mafia romance, modern arranged marriage shenanigans, rebellious heroines + stern heroes, and some mild dubcon (like, so mild).

When Aida Gallo causes a clash between her father's Sicilian mafia family and prominent Irish mobsters the Griffins, there's only one solution. Aida will be wed to Callum, the heir apparent to the Griffin throne. Naturally, they can't stand each other, and the marriage begins with a series of oneupmanship (along, lots of sex). But as danger mounts, Aida and Callum will be forced to realize how much they might care for each other.

A fun mafia romance! It was a little rushed for my taste, but I enjoyed it and definitely plan on trying out more from this series.

Quick Takes:

--In terms of this being a mafia romance, I say this in a good way: I'd consider this a good "baby's first mafia romance" for a reader who prefers lighter, romcom-type books. There are a good amount of non-lethal hijinks, the mafia politicking is minimal, there is very little or no true gore, and while I would call a couple of sex scenes dubcon-ish, it's light. Like, everyone is into what's happening. Compared to Kings of Italy, which I found easy to read but a good bit darker/more dramatic, this is a gentler kind of mafia romance. Which isn't a bad thing!

Conversely, if you are really into a super built up mafia world and atmosphere in your mafia romance, plus a lot of serious loathing and murder and maybe some very dubious consent... This might swing too gentle for you. I personally appreciate there being options for both sides of the spectrum, so I didn't mind this being lighter, as I figured it would be going in.

--As far as the enemies to lovers set up goes... Yes, they are true blue enemies in that their families are on the opposite sides of a mob rivalry. On a personal level, they're really just into needling each other. She's a brat, he's a lot more into that than he realizes. There is one incident where someone ends up in the hospital, but it's very unintentional. If you need these two to stab each other to be satisfied, you won't get that, but if you're tired of "rival bakers" type enemies to lovers, this is definitely a step up.

--There are illustrations in this edition! I do appreciate a good porny illustration (I honestly could've used a lot more of THAT type than the random ones of Aida like, on the piano). I will say that I am not certain the illustrations render themselves as well as they could in Kindle Paperwhite, especially in terms of the saturation.

--One thing I will say is that like... I don't know. I think that there was definitely a point when a character like Aida would normally get on my nerves. And I wasn't in love with her in this book; she's not a favorite heroine of mine. She's very rebellious for the sake of being rebellious. But I didn't hate her, and I think that a lot of that came from her having consequences for her actions. The entire plot comes about because she's immature, and she has to pay for it. I felt like she grew and settled as the book went on. And because Callum was very cool to her at first, it did feel as if he needed a bit of brat to really make him live.

That said, she did feel very stereotypical hotblooded Italian-American girl at times; less mafia princess, more My Cousin Vinny... Which isn't inherently a bad thing, but it was a rougher look on her brothers, who I would assume get books later? Interested to see how that turns out. Callum was more legitimately intimidating-sounding because he was a guy in a suit with a lot of money and rising political influence, who knew how to wheel and deal and behave in public (which made his outbursts over Aida more striking, as well). Aida's brothers kind of sounded like... West Side Story side acts, but today.

--While I appreciated the quick pace of the plot, I did feel like we needed more scenes through which Aida and Callum emotionally bonded. It felt like we went from the liking each other and having great sex to being legitimately in love rather quickly, and I just didn't really see it. I think we kind of needed a mini breakup in between the true forging of a bond and the end. Something to make it feel more like they came back together and chose each other.

The Sex Stuff:

I've gotta say... the book shines here. The sex scenes are great, and I think their intensity tempers the lightness of the book? A couple of the scenes have a very mild dubcon vibe, which to me added to their heightened nature and the feeling that these two seriously disliked each other. Plus, I really appreciated that they began having sex fairly early in the book, well before they actually like each other at all. Look no further if you want a book with hate sex.

I wasn't blown away by this one, but I did enjoy it, and I found it worth the read. Like I said, it got me interested in the rest of the series (the second book definitely sounds up my alley) and that's half the battle.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bloom Books for providing me with a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Any hcs of Vader giving Luke “The Talk” 😏?

You're damn straight I do.

NSFW

TW: mild infantilism/Possessiveness/Skywalker hijinks and language

Possessive!Vader

No, no, no, no. This isn't happening. Luke is a little boy still. Fourteen is too young to wonder of sex.

He limit's Luke's Holonet time because honestly where in the world would that boy get the idea of sex? It had to be those stupid Holodramas that only old women and apparently his son are infatuated with.

Luke is blushing and can't look at him in the eye as he hands him his permission slip. "I have to see a movie tomorrow on it. Can you just sign it and get it over with?"

No, Vader does not and will not sign it. He pulls his son out of The Imperial Academy and hires tutors instead. Luke gives him hell for it for weeks on end, claiming he misses his friends and he's bored having to listen to multiple old men bore the hell out of him.

He's going to keep Luke as ignorant as possible.

When Luke brings up the topic all Vader does is belittle him. Humiliation usually gets Luke to shut up. "You think you're ready to learn about sexual intercourse and yet you cannot reach the top shelf in the pantry? You're adorable." and "Aw, but why would you ever need to know of sex? You're going to be my little boy forever. Remember when you said you wanted to marry Daddy when you were four Lukey? I think you should just stay with Daddy forever so your heart isn't broken by some whore who tricked you into loving them."

Dad!Vader

"On the diagram given to you, son, you will see the male anatomy. This is completely normal for an expectation of what's to come when you develop and grow more in the years down the line. Now, bellow the waist, you'll see the penial-"

A snicker errupts. Vader stops talking to look up. Luke has his hand over his mouth as his shoulder shake. He can't hold his laughter to save his life.

"Please pay attention. In the Penial area, you'll notice the testicles-"

Now Luke is snickering, his pearly white teeth on display and tears rolling from the corners of his eyes. The Dark Lord Vader is infront of him saying words like testicles

"Son, if you aren't going to take this seriously then we shall have a conversation about your behavior." Vader crosses his arms. Luke tried to stop, he really did. Vader decides to move onto the female anatomy considering Luke is just giggling with the male slides he's providing.

That only proves to be worse when Luke starts hollering, "Holy Force, the size of those tits!" Vader finds it hard to resist the urge to facepalm.

Dad!Anakin

Anakin uses stuffed animals.

"One day two Banthas met. The boy bantha thought the girl bantha was so pretty that he decided to ask for a kiss. And so the boy Bantha kissed the girl Bantha. When the boy Bantha left to fight some bad guys with some wicked moves and tricks that stunned the evil Sith, The by Bantha came home a hero and noticed The girl Bantha had two little Baby Banthas with her to be a family. And that is how the boy Bantha became a Daddy and the girl a Mommy that's where babies come from."

Luke believes it. Leia calls him the dumbest Nerf Hearder in the Galaxy.

Luke then asks his father if it's okay for boys to like other boys. Anakin didn't faint. He didn't. Whatever Obi-Wan says is a lie, he didn't. But yes, Luke, he eventually tells him.

"Good because I wanted you to meet my boyfriend, Din."

Anakin faints again.

fic rec masterlist

canon divergent/finale fix its

Anamnesis

THIS! FIC! this fic lives in my head rent FREE it is so good and it makes so much sense in the narrative that the shitty finale concocted, as to why they wouldn't mention cas or anyone else and its just. so good and they write chuck in the most villainous way that i love!!!

"Chuck is depowered, Jack is the new god, and the world is free. Dean and Sam get into the Impala and chase down the miles on an endless highway, and their story is finally, finally their own to follow. At least, that's what Dean tells himself. But the diners and motels and painted interstate lines are blurring together and the smallest details keep catching at his brain like tiny fishhooks and he can't quite shake the feeling that not everything is exactly as it should be. Fix-it/alternate series finale. Canon-compliant through the end of 15.19."

Sunset Sound: Stairway to Heaven by @adhdeancas

GOD FUCKING CHRIST this is so good and sweet and im such a sucker for team ups and reunions!!! its 3:30 am rn and i just finished it and i love it SO much it made me laugh a lot and the last few chapters i had the stupidest grin just plastered to my face

The Closer the Star, the Greater the Parallax by @rocksalts

repressed bastard dean submits to the mortifying ordeal of being known and receives the rewards of being loved but only after some miscommunication i LOVE this i read it last night and it’s a fast favorite. my interests have overlapped and i am INTO it

“When Dean sits down to watch some bullcrap Discovery Channel episode with Cas, he doesn’t expect to actually learn anything. Except, with Cas explaining, he makes an effort to connect the dots.”

Don't We All Deserve To Be Happy?

VERY sweet and a VERY good pick me up. all around feel good fic!!!

"Post-canon fix-it, divergent from 15x19 where Jack stays and Dean doesn't die and Cas comes back and everyone is happy. Take a shot every time I'm salty about the finale."

Keep Your Love Alive

okay. okay okay okay this may be my favorite finale fix it just because of how well reasoned it is. like this feels what should have happened i love it SO much

"Dean gets to spend eternity sharing beers with Bobby on the Roadhouse porch and riding around in his Baby with Sam. He’s at peace… or he feels like he should be. But a few things nag at him: Where is Cas, and everybody else Dean had been hoping to see in Heaven? Why does he feel like he’s stuck in a loop, reliving the same memories over and over again? And who are the strangers wearing Sam’s and Bobby’s faces?"

The GoldenRod Revisions by @aethylas

this is one of the most well written things ive ever read. the script format DID make it feel more real and honestly? this is better writing than this show deserves. the finale that could have been ♥️

“A rewrite of Supernatural’s final two episodes, expanded into a five episode arc - in which Chuck needs to be defeated, Castiel deserves to be saved, and the characters in this story get a very different ending.“

Ascend by @wanderingcas

THEE finale fix it fic!!! written by the AMAZINGLY skilled and talented @wanderingcas !!! it’s 50k of angst and hurt/comfort and pure bliss

“Something in the world is wrong.

Demon activity is rising where mysterious black substance oozes and unusual ecological events are shaking the world. Dean, grief hanging on his shoulders, restlessly searches for answers that might lead him to the Empty… and to Cas.

But what Chuck wrote can’t be undone. The narrative thread pulls Dean along, forcing him to comply. Because once a story already has an ending, it can’t be rewritten.

Or can it?”

Things Happen (They Do, And They Do, And They Do) by THEE @sobsicles

i KNOW everyone has already recommended this and likely you’ve all already read it. but it has to go here bc REPRESSIOOOOOOOOON i LOVE this so much it is one of the most perfect things i’ve read. are you bisexual? did you have a kind of weird relationship with your best friend and not realize that how you felt about them wasn’t necessarily how other people felt about them and you were maybe a little bit in love with them but were too repressed to realize it? you’ll feel seen. maybe a little too seen

Closer (isn't close enough)

are you a sweet and sappy yet horny bastard? do you like cas exploding light bulbs? you will like this.

“the one where they finally talk about what cas said before the empty took him”

You and Your Husband

it is exTRMELY sweet!!! repression dean strikes again <3

"Five times Dean corrects someone about his relationship with Cas, and one time he realizes he doesn't need to."

Tall Grass

miscommunication and a slowburn! despite being written in 2017 and finished in 2018, it feels like a fix it. ft. plant obsessed cas <3

Invictus

a LOVELY and short (relatively) finale fix it

“They saved the world. They're free. It's done.

Except it's not, and carrying on is the last thing any of them are thinking about.

They still have someone they need to save.”

Unchained Link

post finale- it’s a great case fic and i am compelled i want more!!!

"It's after the end of things. Life continues on while Dean is "livin it up" in heaven. But it's never that simple, is it? A freak occurrence sends Dean into another time stranded back on Earth. And he thought his hunting days were over. But, no worries. His knight in shining armor comes to the rescue. Hijinks, therefore, ensue."

fun and time unspecified

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Love Potion No. 5

very funny and sweet! miscommunication at its finest ♥️

"Cas gets drenched with a mystery potion from the ‘love spell’ shelf and... Dean has a sneaking suspicion, angel or no— the spell may have taken effect. And Cas might be in love with Sam."

The Way We Were

Y'all. It is so good its a great mix of funny and serious- extremely fun to see dean as like a base bisexual

"Dean and Castiel pose as a couple to gain access to a gated community known as 'The Glen', a pleasant if secretive location that the boys believe might be linked to several dead bodies showing up over the years bearing signs of ritualistic sacrifice. All seems well until Dean's memory is affected from an incident during a solo exploration, leaving Dean convinced that their cover story is true. Castiel is left trying to resolve their case without taking advantage of an increasingly enthusiastic Dean"

While You Were Sleeping

this is basically just the movie but replacing sandra bullock with cas. this is my comfort movie and imo, one of the most perfect rom coms. the fic isn’t finished but i still have the tab open on my phone and i will straight up go back and re read it when i need a pick me up.

aus/rewrites

The Harvelle Gospels: Offscript

i know everyone ever ( @jewishcharliebradbury ) has recommended this fic. and for good reason go fucking read it

“The Apocalypse is averted, the angels are in Heaven, and Jo is free from the threat of possession. Somehow it couldn't be farther from a happy ending.“

absolute riots

An Ineffably Profound Bond

i honestly would have put this in the finale fix it section! look. i know. i know you've been burned by crossover fics before. but this is Thee good omens/spn fic you want. its funny as hell and immensely satisfying. im weak for everyone working together tropes and that is this

"After Chuck sets 'The End' in motion, the remaining members of TFW make a miraculous escape. Not willing to waste any time, Castiel comes up with a plan to travel to one of the other worlds to try and get help from the angels there, but after a fight with Dean, it's the hunter who gets sent into an alternate universe,with seemingly no hope of return.

When a mysterious human with a heavenly weapon shows up in Aziraphale's shop, he and Crowley learn that their world is not the only one. Now it is up to them to decide whether or not they want to join forces with the human and help him save his world or simply find a way to send him home."

Somebody Up There Likes Me by @lafilleredige

cas is hit with a spell that turns his vessel into a woman, hijinks and sexuality crises ensue etc etc sam is a supportive and bitchy little brother and its all SO fucking funny and also. horny as hell i love it i love it i LOVE it

“’Dean doesn’t want to talk about your breasts, it’s making him uncomfortable because he hasn’t acknowledged the complex fluidity of human sexuality.’“

Stray Cat Strut

a long crack fic that IS one of the funniest things i’ve ever read and i can’t explain why. it’s so ooc but its so funny that i don’t care. if you need a laugh you gotta read this

"Sam and Cas are immediately in love with the adorable kitty they find outside the bunker door, and occupy their time planning how to convince Dean--who they believe is off sulking after a botched hunt--to let them keep their cat. Along the way, Dean learns to use a litter box and hears some confessions he maybe wasn’t supposed to hear, all while realizing just how much he loves Castiel.

Now all Dean has to do is convince Cas and Sam their new pet cat is actually him before they do something crazy--like neuter him!"

canon compliant or slight canon divergence

how the dogs and vincent vega react to an s/o who loves dungeons and dragons

I myself play DnD, so this is kind of a self indulgent set of headcanons. I have also taken the liberty to give the Dogs who don’t have official names confirmed by Quentin Tarantino my own, which you’ll see when you read the post. Enjoy!

MR. BLONDE/VIC VEGA

. He’s honestly indifferent about the fact that you like Dungeons and Dragons, not really minding one way or the other. He’s just happy that you’re so passionate about the game, and are happy.

. But be prepared that he doesn’t like it when you devote too much time into it. He’s naturally a very jealous person, and he doesn’t like to share you with anyone or anything. You see this very clearly one evening, when you’re sitting at the kitchen table in your apartment working on a new character ( go ahead and insert your own here or pick what you’d make ). He’s on the other end, smoking a cigarette and reading the paper. You’d been quiet for awhile now, so immersed in your character that you didn’t realize that Vic wanted your attention. He gets fed up of it after a minute, standing up and pulling you into a hug from behind. You drop your dice, giggling playfully at his actions.

. “ You’ve been at that shit for the past hour, doll. When’re you gonna spend some time with me, huh? Or are you so focused on... ( character name ), that you’ve forgotten Daddy? Hmm? “

. But overall, he thinks that your love of DnD is adorable. It’ll be moderately difficult to convince him to play with you if that’s what you want, but when he sees how much you want it he caves. I think he’d play a Warforged Barbarian named Carnage with a Bounty Hunting background and a Neutral Evil alignment. Vic is not one for complexity, and the magic system in DnD is notoriously difficult to understand for some. He’s more about strength and constitution than charisma and wisdom, but he is flexible to meet your campaign needs.

MR. ORANGE/FREDDY NEWANDYKE

. Being a nerd himself, he is stoked that you play the game, nonetheless are so dedicated to it. He’s been in a couple groups before off and on, and gets the basics of it--but he would be so eager to learn how to play again from you.

. Whatever you need, be it books, dice, character sheets, arcana spell card decks, minis, the whole works, he’d invest a good portion of his paycheck into your Dungeons and Dragons obsession. You just have to let him play with you, that’s the only catch. After a long day of work when he’s stressed and tired, all he wants is to come home and spend time with his lover. You ask if DnD is okay, as you make hot chocolate and a bowl of Fruit Loops for him. His eyes light up immediately, and he nods in excitement.

. “Baby, you’d make me the happiest man alive if we rolled a dice or two. Just you and I slaughtering goblins and causing hijinks in the tavern, nothing else is as perfect as that. “

. He’s as devoted as you are, getting right into the game, and even dressing up as his character for it. That makes the experience all the better for you, seeing your boyfriend as jubilant as you are. Freddy would definitely play a Half-Elf Cleric named Galatia Feywilde who has the Outlander background and a lawful good alignment. His character would be proficient in archery and healing, and is devoted to the nature gods she worships. He loves to play her, channelling himself into her whenever he plays.

MR. WHITE/LARRY DIMMICK

. Despite the fact that he’s a boomer, Larry knows what Dungeons and Dragons is, but has never shown interest in it or played it himself. He’s just so busy doing jobs for Eddie and Joe that he never really had the time to sit down and do it. That is, until he got into a relationship with you.

. He is curious to say the least, interested in this game that you invest so much of yourself and time into. But he never mocks you over it, or calls it childish. That was his first impression of DnD, which you changed by exposing him to it so much. You’d been attempting to convince him to take a seat and try the game without success for the past while. Over one weekend, you come down with a nasty stomach flu that keeps you in bed all day and night. With nothing better to do, you would call up your friends and play with them over the phone. He came home after your normal DnD gang hadn’t answered, probably busy. You were bummed, and he saw it. Though he had his reservations, he walked over and picked up the dice on the bedside table.

. “ Now, you know I hate seeing a frown on my cupcake’s face. So why don’t we have a game of this Dungeons and Dragons thing to make you feel better? “

. Thrilled, you got to work making him a character of his very own while he pulled up a chair to sit with you. Using your best judgement, you create him a Dwarf Paladin you name Lawrence The Old, who has the background of an Acolyte and a Neutral leaning. He actually really enjoys playing with you, he makes himself a drink, and gets you a bowl of rice or some applesauce and you two play for hours. He actually has something to talk about with Orange that both of them will get, and the younger cop would be over the moon that you’d gotten the earnest Larry into DnD.

MR. BROWN/JOHNNY CAMPBELL

. A roleplaying game with fantastical creatures, adventure, and a chance to let his huge imagination run wild? An s/o that loves the game as much as he does? You have honestly just made him the happiest person on Earth. He freaks out, so overjoyed that you’re nerdy like him.

. He would want to play as soon as you two could, pulling out all of his gear and writing up a new character talking the whole time. Everything else but you two and the game is nonexistent and unimportant, he is so into it. Both of you go back and forth discussing what the best class and race is, which spells are useful or useless, the best campaign you’ve played, how long you’ve been doing it for, all of it. He revels in your stories, getting more and more pumped.

. “ Y/N, this is amazing! Who knew that my guy/girl/enby was into Dungeons and Dragons? Man, I scored with you, I did! There, what do you think? “

. He shows you the character he whipped up, his face beaming with pride. To compliment your ( character class and race ) he’s going to play a Tabaxi Monk named Fang Clawe, a Hermit that is Chaotic Good, and you can’t help but be reminded of Johnny when he tells you about his character’s personality. Funny, goofy, and all around great just like he is. The bonding time you two thanks to this game is incredible, something you’ll both remember for years to come.

MR. PINK/JEREMY DAVIDSON

. He’s the least enthusiastic of the bunch, laughing at you for liking it. He thinks it’s a ridiculous game, meant for college dropouts/weirdos who live in their mom’s basement and work at McDonalds, basically. He doesn’t think you’re any of those things, passing your obsession off as one of your quirks. He just lets you be when you go out to play the game with your friends at the board game cafe, not stopping you from doing it.

. Its really only when you have your group over for a Dungeons and Dragons night that he gets involved. He was opposed to it, protesting loudly that he didn’t want to play. When you beg him to try it though, he’ll surrender. He grumbles throughout the whole time, humouring you mostly. Your friends don’t appreciate his complaining, but you assure them he’ll come around eventually and to give him time.

. “ This is stupid, Y/N. Who actually likes this shit? I mean, come on, elves, bards, wizards, and dwarves, is this goddamned b-list Lord of The Rings or some-fucking-thing? I’m a professional, grown ass man, not a high school nerd. “

. He’s an asshole for the first few times you all play, but you were right--he does start to warm up to the game. He would never say it, but he thoroughly enjoys playing with you, seeing you happy. He also comes to love his sarcastic Drow Elf Bloodhunter called Vaga Crimsonblade, with a Criminal background and Chaotic Evil alignment. He can express himself through it, whilst spending time with you, sacrificing his ego and pride.

EDDIE CABOT

. He’s a combination of apathy and curiosity, not bothered in the way that Pink was. He actually thinks it’s kind of cool that you like Dungeons and Dragons. He grew up surrounded by friends who played it, but he never really wanted to. He was always working to impress his Dad, not focused on recreation until he was much older and had asserted himself. So to see you so into it brings him nostalgia from his younger years.

. You formed a tiny group with Orange and Brown after getting to know them, in which you three would play DnD over drinks or smokes when jobs were finished, on the weekends, or when Eddie was out on business. He had arrived back from a trip with Vic out to Sacramento to ‘take care’ of a client who had double-crossed Joe out of a heap of money, glad to be back in L.A. and with you. Freddy, Johnny, and you were up in yours and Eddie’s room, listening to old 60′s pop records, sitting in your pyjamas, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with cocktails in your hands. He’s not mad, only surprised. You three greet him, waving him over to play.

. “ Why the hell not? Lemme take a piss and get a shot a’ something quickly. Y/N, make sure my cat is cool or whatever, I don’t want to play a lame ass. “

. You make good on your word, crafting him a character with Orange and Brown helping out. You can’t believe he was so relaxed about it, especially when you knew he wasn’t a diehard fan of the game. Its a nice change of pace, for the both of you. When he comes back, he sits down on a cushion and looks over his character. He’s Neptune Thalassasonian, a Triton Ranger, a Folk Hero that is Chaotic Neutral and has an out of control ego. He thinks its awesome, and insists that your ( character race and class ) have to be dating like you two are. He’s just such a sweetie about it.

VINCENT VEGA

. Like his brother, he doesn’t mind that you have such a passion for DnD, but he is more reluctant like Pink was to get into it himself. He worries that his reputation would be tarnished if word was to get out that he played it. That he’d lose his street credit, and some of his menacing imposition as a cold brute. He doesn’t want to be cut off from the Vega name like Vic was, so he doesn’t touch the game.

. But he doesn’t judge you for liking it. It gives you something to do while he’s out on jobs for Marsellus with Jules, or doing other things. To take away your worry and concern for a short time, which subsequently puts him at ease too. He wakes up one morning to find you not in bed. At first, he is terrified that something has happened to you, and rushes to get his gun and find you. Yelling your name, he finds you calm in the living room eating an English muffin while updating your character. He almost dies of relief on the spot, so happy to see that you’re alive. You assure him you’re okay, asking him to come play with you. He hesitates, but gives in after you badger him.

. “ Fine, fine, fine, I’m gonna take a shit, and then I’ll play. But I’ll need to shoot up if I’m gonna do this. You cool with that? “

. You nod, letting him do what he needs to do. You anticipated that he would crack under your pleading, so you had taken the liberty to make him a character of his own. Their name is Kip Moonstone, a human rogue with a sailor background and who is Neutral Evil. They go well with your character, and Vincent ends up loving Kip. He won’t vocalize his love for DnD publicly, but it becomes one of your favourite pastimes together.

that rhodeytony piece with the bots........... iconic. do you think we could have more of that sweet sweet mit era?? I just think they’re neat

Look. Rhodey hadn’t meant to build another robot. But Tony was at some business conference for the weekend, and Dum-E was just pitifully sad. If Tony had been there, he would’ve convinced Rhodey that Dum-E is a drama queen and acts like the end of the world is happening at any minor inconvenience.

But why not give Dum-E a little sibling? This is how U comes to be, and he’s quite the gentleman, far more gentle than his big brother.

Rhodey enjoys teaching him how to pick up socks and shoes, and how to put the coffee mugs on the counter gently, something that Dum-E is not good at yet, but they’re trying their best. (He has a stuffed coffee mug that they got from the pet store that he’s flung at every single surface so far.)

Tony comes back from his business conference (which ugh) looking for cuddles, dinner, and maybe a movie date night if they can get Dum-E to stop trying to escape the apartment.

What he isn’t expecting is for his boyfriend to be mediating a fight between two robots.

Two.

He stares at his boyfriend for a moment.

“Rhodey, darling, is Dum-E having a...play-date?”

Rhodey freezes.

“Oh!” He says, grinning. “I, um...made him a sibling?”

“And they’re...fighting?”

“Well, for now. Dum-E’s mad because he didn’t get to put actual coffee mugs on the counter, and U is mad because Dum-E stole the couch blanket. I think U is really into decoration!”

“Yeah, that explains everything,” Tony says faintly, sitting. “So...U? Like, the letter?”

“Yeah, you like it?”

“And you thought that it made a good name for what?”

“Well, it was more of a placeholder, honestly. But then he liked it!”

U looks over at Tony curiously.

“U, this is Tony. Your other dad. We used part of his code to make you!”

The arm bumps softly against Tony’s, which is an improvement from Dum-E, who tends to go full-force. (Although they’ve worked on it.)

“So...” Tony says. “You think with U, we won’t need to look for a babysitter for date night?”

“No, we will. We definitely will. Dum-E hasn’t adjusted to a sibling yet.”

“Poor baby,” Tony coos, patting Dum-E on the claw. “You thought you were going to be the only attention-seeker for a while, didn’t you?”

He glowers, wheeling back and acting very high-and-mighty for a robot who just threw the equivalent of a tantrum.

Rhodey looks at Tony, kissing him on the forehead as he leans over to lay on his legs.

“How was the business conference, honey?”

“Utter shit. I didn’t need to go, I was an ego boost for Obie to tote around.”

“Told you that you shouldn’t have gone.”

“If I said ‘no’ one more time, we would’ve had to have a phone call about my ‘five year plan’ and ‘legacy’ bullshit. You know that that gives me a migraine. Besides, he gave me a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant, so that means we get to have a good meal one of these weekends when you visit.”

“Who said I would visit with you?”

“Because Jarvis adores you and I think Ana wants to adopt you and force you to stay.”

“You make a compelling argument,” Rhodey says, pretending to think about it. “I’ll...consider it.”

Tony snorts.

“And they say I’m the asshole here.”

Two years later, Dum-E and U demand that they get a sibling. The dads are back home together (for now) and Jarvis has grown tired of reason.

“They want a sibling, Sir.”

“What, each other isn’t enough?”

“They have requested many movie nights where there are siblings or groups of friends, and I think they want to, in a sense, replicate the scenarios.”

“They’ve already done all of it? Wasn’t it them who got onto a plane for DC just because they wanted to see Pops?”

“Yes, yes it was.”

“You know, J, I still think that you helped them with that one.”

“I most certainly did not.”

(Jarvis totally did. He gets bored, you know? Besides, Colonel Rhodes hadn’t been home for three months, which should have counted for cruel and unusual punishment.)

“Well, regardless of your guilt in certain situations, we’ll have a family discussion about maybe a new sibling.”

Rhodey gets a text as he’s grocery shopping.

hey, need to talk about family stuff. can you also pick up some more colby jack cheese?

sure. what’s it about?

your son has decided he wants a sibling. he convinced dum-e....

got it.

Rhodey laughs to himself as he turns his cart around, going towards the dairy section. Of course U would decide something like that, it makes sense.

Tony is looking at Rhodey with a disappointed look on his face.

“This is all your fault.”

“How is this my fault?”

“You dote on the boys too much.”

“Oh, I do that? Who makes them Halloween costumes every year and hosts a party with all of the other appliances we’ve made over the years?”

“Oh like you hate those, Mr. ‘Here’s-the-hand-made-Halloween-playlist’.”

“True,” Rhodey says, setting down the bags. “Help me put away all of this stuff, half of it is yours anyway.”

“We have a shared fridge, Honeybear.”

“Tell that to your pomegranates taking up about two shelves!”

“Only for now, and half of those are Pepper’s! They’re not all mine.”

“Do you think she would want a say in the robot? After all, she does have to deal with U and Dum-E worshiping the ground she walks on.”

“And she is the reason that Dum-E usually succeeds in his smoothie-making,” Tony admits. “Yeah, sure, invite her over.”

Whenever Pepper is asked what it’s like having to be a personal assistant to Tony Stark, she always wants to answer with something like “oh, it’s really fulfilling to help a company reach its goal and learn so much from my boss to apply to what comes next” or even “oh, it’s nice.”

She got invited to dinner, and is now in a conversation about whether or not Dum-E and U, her boss’s children, should get a sibling.

And the fact that her boss’s children are robots, have two dads, and think that Pepper is the best thing since life itself.

“Why do they need a sibling?” Pepper asks, chewing on her pasta.

“Because they’re bored, and we think that maybe we’ll stop getting calls from the fire stations around town that they’re trying to wreak havoc again,” Rhodey says. “They’ll want to teach the new sibling how life works around the house, and we can start on security measures.”

“Can’t you just put a genetic lock on the door or something?” Pepper asks.

“They’re surpassed it,” Tony says grumpily.

“How?”

“Don’t look at me!” Tony defends. “Look at Jim-dear, who is obsessed with true crime documentaries! They picked up how to gain evidence and use it for proof from him and Forensic Files!”

Pepper puts her head in her hands.

“Just once, I wish that we had a dinner to discuss a business proposal or something normal instead of whether or not your two boys need a sibling.”

“Well, we are thinking about a daughter,” James admits. “And we wanted to talk to you about that.”

“Why, because I’m the only female either of you know?!”

“No,” Tony says quickly. “We know plenty of women!”

“Name seven.”

“Plead the fifth,” Rhodey jokes. “But you spend time here, and so we wanted to know what you’d want to see in a robot.”

“How the hell should I know?”

“You work for the best tech mogul in two hundred years,” Tony says.

“Tones, you’re entirely too cocky.”

“Oh shut up babe,” Tony says, no real heat to the sentiment. “Besides, I’ve treated you well, haven’t I?”

“Other than embarrassing me in front of every single government official every time you interact, sure.”

“You love it, they hate it, win-win,” Tony says, stirring around his mocktail. “But Pepper, seriously. What do you think about a third robot?”

“Well, can’t get anymore chaotic,” Pepper sighs. “And I think having a girl around would be...nice. Not as chaotic.”

“You saying girls don’t bring as much chaos?”

“No,” Pepper says. “I’m just saying that we know when to bring it.”

Butterfingers is born, and she is the most perfect definition of a “daddy’s girl” any robot has ever been. She wheels around with grace, although she can’t stop bumping into things and dropping things, being worse than Dum-E. (Which he actually adores.)

She follows Pepper along in awe, and can be seen usually in her office.

Curiously enough, the only time she doesn’t live up to her name is in Pepper’s office, where she handles things with grace and Pepper gives her little tasks to do, like delivering cups of pens to employees or papers.

Rhodey gets her (and the brothers) little souvenirs from his time away, and Tony has an absolute ball of a time making them all costumes and taking a million little pictures that are hung up everywhere in the building.

But perhaps the crowning achievement are the Christmas photos.

Usually, Stark Industries will take pictures of their employees, put a newsletter out, and wish everyone a happy holiday and all that.

But then the employees have an entirely different idea.

It comes from one of Pepper’s assistants after she’s made CEO, Julia.

“Why not have the bots be the Christmas picture?” she muses, restacking some of the papers Miss Potts had to sign. “They’re always around the office, and they’re the unofficial mascots of the business. I think it’d be fun to see their Christmas hijinks!”

Pepper smiles.

“Julia, remind me to add a little extra to the Christmas bonus.”

Rhodey finds the idea to be the best idea anyone has come up with in years. (Although it just gives him an excuse to take more pictures of the bots during the festivities.)

Dum-E is only too happy to finally be allowed within two feet of tinsel. (Unfortunate incident in 1998.) U is very excited to show off his understanding of symmetry and how to pick out the perfect tree, and Butterfingers just wants Pepper to tie ribbons around her wheels so that she looks “extra-pretty.”

Stark Industries’ holiday card involves Dum-E and U at either side of the tree, with U gently readjusting one of the many ornaments they’ve had the bots make over the years, and Dum-E is trying to pull off a ribbon from the top of the tree. Butterfingers is at the center, guarding any attempt to unwrap presents, and presenting her bow-filled-wheels.

Pepper has the picture framed in her office.

Fanfic Round-up 2021

(This year started out really bad, like rock-bottom bad, and the first half was still pretty rough, but a big improvement. My kids went back to school in the fall, which was such an enormous improvement for everyone. I knew this, objectively, but then they got abruptly sent back into distance learning the week before Christmas break, and I realized how big a difference it made. I am honestly shocked and aghast that I managed to do anything in the first 8 months of 2021, but I did a lot, actually.

Blessings and Curses I really love the two New Year’s episodes of Bleach, both the wacky hijinks half and the sweet Renruki half, and I wanted to try writing my own New Year’s story, so I did, a little Academy flashback where Rukia and Renji go to spend the holiday break at Momo’s house in Junrinan. I really like it, even though it’s not one of my more popular ones. Anyway, it’s the New Year, maybe you should go read it!

Rukia and Renji Make a Baby (at Byakuya’s Birthday Party) (explicit!) Uhhhh, it was Byakuya’s birthday after that, and I happened to have some cursed free time, so I wrote an awful porno about... what it says on the tin.

Adventures in Babysitting I wrote this one to cheer up a friend. It’s got both Uncle Byakuya and Byakuya and Hitsugaya being bros and also Matsumoto is there. This is what the people want, I have learned.

Dear Wormwood is the other side of the spectrum: I was doing AU requests at the time, and I wrenched this around to fit my extremely specific interests, vis a vis a Renruki zanpakutou-swap AU that nosedives into lovers-to-enemies territory. I named it after one of my favorite Oh Hellos songs. It was not very popular and I don’t care, it’s my baby.

Squad Six is Jerks and other Stories, vol I The rest of the AU requests went into my anthology fic, starting at Chapter 33 and running thru the end, at which point I decided this thing was too big and that’s why it has “Vol I” tacked on the end. In particular, I recommend #36, the tattoo artist AU, which I really do hope to continue someday, if I can get some of my other WIPs cleared out. #40, the X-Files AU and #41, Mall Goths, Part Deux are also pretty fun.

Brothers in Arms ChadIshi is a ship that I love, but I just never have any particular good story ideas for, but this was for a birthday, so I dug deep, and came up with something very, very soft, about two guys taking a day trip to the beach and just being.

Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time (explicit!) Hrmm, oh good, more weird porn, just what we need. Actually, you know what, this was, in fact, written to fulfill a very specific need, which was Renji getting pegged by Rukia. As far as I know, this is the only one in existence, but I would love to be wrong, and also, I encourage anyone to add to the genre. It took so long to come up with a title, and in retrospect, I regret not calling it “If You’re Into It” after the Flight of the Concords song.

a little in love now and then I guess I got a few spoons back when school let out for the year-- the kids even went to a few summer camps, so I had a few hours to myself for the first time in over a year. I’d gotten a little wound a round my own axle on this story, but I fixed up my outline and put my nose to the grindstone and managed to crank out the long and convoluted Act III over the summer. Comedies of manners that hinge of misunderstandings are not easy to write, I am reporting to you, and I am honestly proud of how good it actually turned out. I did not expect this story to go over 100k, but that’s where we are now.

Squad Six is Jerks and other Stories, vol II After that, I did another Renji-birthday request event. As I mentioned earlier, the first Squad Six is Jerks had gotten too unwieldy, so I decided to do volumes by calendar year. Everything in here is a banger and you should read it.

A Very Convenient Case of Amnesia (explicit) This was also one of the birthday requests, but I broke it out because of rating. If Kubo didn’t want people to write Rukia making Renji do soap opera roleplay with her, maybe he shouldn’t have let Soul Society have soap operas, that’s all I’m saying.

What We Do with Our Hearts I actually wrote the first few scenes of this fic before I even posted Call Me Back When the War is Over, the last chapter of my big, slow-burn series, The Heart is a Muscle, AKA, My Life’s Work. We’re talking late 2019, that strange year I was actually good at writing things. The guilt of having this unfinished had been gnawing at me constantly, so when the kids went back to school, I sat down and worked all fall and... did it. Only the first three chapters are up at the time I am writing this, but the entire thing is complete. The very same day that my beta reader cleared it for posting, I got a phone call at 5:30am that we were going back into distance learning. What an amazing year.

In a fit of insanity, I actually made some writing goals last New Year’s, so let’s see how I actually did:

1) I guess 250k words is sort of a benchmark now, so I guess I’ll try to hit that again.

I can’t use AO3′s word count feature anymore, because if a fic gets updated over multiple years, it counts all the words into every year, so I started keeping a spreadsheet. Usually, I would only count words posted, but I think it’s fair to count all of What We Do with Our Hearts, in which case, the bottom line was 252,107. I literally cannot believe I hit it. What the junk.

2) Finish a little in love. There is… a lot… left to go.

LOL, not so much. I did make a huge amount of progress on it, though, and I can live with that.

3) Finish the next story in The Heart is a Muscle, which I utterly stalled out on this summer. (I have ~40k of it written, but I’m not sure how much of it needs to be thrown directly into the garbage. It was never supposed to be this long in the first place. They never are.

I DID IT, FAM!!!! It’s 110k! ✨It doesn’t matter ✨ , it is DONE.

4) Finish either my Squad 11 Self-Care story or my Last Days in Inuzuri story

Maybe in 2022.

5) Write another adult one

Wrote three, I am an overachiever

6) Stretch goal: Write something that’s… not Bleach?? Maybe?? Can I do it?

Reader, I did not.

So, I didn’t hit them all, but I think I did really well in the circumstances. How about 2022? Well, I feel pretty good about just carrying goals 2 and 4 forward into the New Year, but especially because I literally don’t know when/if my kids will be going back to school, I am setting myself exactly one goal, which is:

Write things I enjoy.

I am incredibly proud of my accomplishments this year, but writing has become less of a fun, escapist hobby and more of a thing-that-fills-the-hole-in-my-life-where-work-used-to-be, and I’m not super happy with that. I have gotten a little better at saying no to projects that I know are going to be a slog, but it would be nice if I could find a way to recapture some of the magic that fueled some of my earlier stories.

I rewatch miraculous—Rogercop

Once again–this post uses screenshots from the French Dub version of Miraculous, translated by the good people at MiraculousSubs on tumblr. Yeah, I like the French version. FIGHT ME!!!!

Nino winking at Marinette is cute :’). Also Alya’s proud smile makes my heart 💞💞💞

Marinette and Nino noticing Adrien’s loneliness🥺🥺🥺

Alya’s mom: “Unfortunately i have no dishes to share. But maybe mister Buregouis will invite you all to the hotel! And treat you to lunch!”

....I seriously doubt it.

Not that i agree with how she reacted, but i can see how Chloe would suspect Marinette for stealing the bracelet.

Chloe had it in her bag.

Everyone else is in their seats or standing against a wall.

Marinette is the only one who is walking/moving and able to take it.

its not as if Chloe’s aware there’s a little flying devil who lives in Adrien’s shirt, mistook her bracelet case for a camembert box, started playing with the bracelet and got his head stuck in it.

HOWEVER

it’s revealed later on she never bothered to look through her bag properly before she started throwing accusations around.

Marinette’s right--it COULD have easily rolled away somewhere.

No one notices Plagg rolling around between Adrien’s shoes either, so it’s clear they never bothered to look on the floor or search under the desks.

Chloe: “Let’s call Ladybug! Im sure she’ll actually do something!”

Ya just accused Ladybug.

Don’t give Ladybug extra work. 😒😒😒 That goes for Plagg too, since his hijinks are what caused this mess in the first place.

Hawk Moth: “Parent-child relationships can be so complicated.”

Oh ARE THEY?!

Hawk Moth says parent-child relationships are COMPLICATED guys!

Cuz ya know hawk moth is the FLIPPING POSTER-BOY for complex parent-child relationships.

Tom is a good dad. 😏

Mrs. Bustier: “please gentlemen! This is a school here. Think of the children.”

Mrs. Bustier is a good teacher.

Plagg: “if by big you’re referring to my rock hard abs well thanks for noticing!”

2021 goals: attain the confidence of Plagg.

Adrien: “what do you mean i can’t transform?!”

Plagg: “if you transform the bracelet will get absorbed with me and damge your powers!”

...Yeah, NO. I shudder to think what Adrien would do with a damaged Miraculous.

Tom: “Marinette let the adults handle this.” Marinette: “Papa! She called me a thief. I’m just defending myself.” Tom: “You’re also accusing all of your friends just like Chloe’s doing to you.”

WHY THANK YOU TOM. You’re a good dad. He defends his daughter but he won’t allow her to do wrong by others either.

Tom, Tikki, Chat Noir—its a good thing Marinette has so many people who can/will tell her when she’s in the wrong about something. Not that I don’t trust queen but everyone needs sound advice from trustworthy partners/mentors every once in a while.

Sabrina: “I’m Chloe’s BFF. I wouldn’t steal from her.”

So you would steal from other people then? And do you even CARE your dad just lost his job?

Kim and Max: pointing out Adrien’s a suspect too

Marinette: immediately wrires Adrien off as a suspect because FAVORITISM

UGGGGGHHHHHH

Don’t talk as if the entire class is suspicious and then immediately excuse Adrien from any possible suspicion the minute you’re reminded he’s apart of the class too. That’s literally no better than the stunt Mr. Damocles pulls in Despair Bear--even if he was caving under duress and Marinette is acting on favoritism.

Have I mentioned how much I hate it when the akuma is in the school???

This whole scene is actually so nerve-wracking to me. And just goes to show how freaking courageous the people of Miraculous Paris are.

I mean

These are the people who live under the constant threat that any intensely negative emotions could cause them to be possessed and brutally attack/ capture/ maim/ kill their loved ones. This can happen to anyone, anywhere at any time. A place like school or even a highly secure building is nowhere near as safe as ordinary people would usually believe it to be.

Also take into account that by this point in the show (going by the netflix order) five of the students at this school have already been akumatized so it’s more than clear that Hawk Moth isn’t above akumatizing children.

So parents are literally sending their kids off to school with this knowledge. Of course they believe/rely on Ladybug and Chat Noir to protect everyone but still. People can (and probably have) die in akuma attacks. People (kids!!!) did die, or at least nearly died, in Timebreaker when an akumatized Alix took their life forces to travel back in time.

And here we have an akumatized person in the school.

Not for the first time. Nor the last.

Not to mention this is Adrien’s school. Hawkmoth knows his son is here. He knows akumatizing someone in this place at this time could easily kill his son. But he’s not concerned with that since his “wish” would “fix everything.”

Hawk Moth just does not value life in the slightest.

Meanwhile LB and CN do. Even if the magic ladybugs will fix everything and bring back those killed in akuma attacks (as it states on the MLB wiki) they never hesitate to protect and save people who are in danger during these attacks. Even if it would be more expedient to leave some people behind/sacrifice some people so they can get to the akuma quicker and easier. They never allow anyone to die for their cause.

Meanwhile Hawk Moth is just a bit too ready to break everyone in Paris.

Really, if Hawkmoth wanted to win all he had to do was actually put the akuma INSIDE a person. If that’s possible. I honestly can’t see LB and CN going so far as to kill someone to get the akuma. I’m not sure the babies have that in them...

Rogercop: Mayor, you’re under arrest for abuse of power.

Mayor B.: Hah! Look who’s talking.

He has a point.

Both of them.

Mr. Bourgeois: flees from Rogercop in a hurry.

....Did you just leave your daughter behind?

What's wrong with you?

Or is he trying to lead Rogercop away from the school...?

Okay but Ladybug was actually able to reach an akumatized victim by mentioning their DAUGHTER.

LB: gets yeeted over building by a supervillain.

I sense memes.

CN: is a tad panicked over Chloe when she gets in a car with a supervillain.

I actually love their friendship, precisely for little moments like this.

This little moment here is so cute. The way she gently helps him back on to the car, keeping her hand on his shoulder as he climbs. Their eyes are locked, too <3<3<3

Lets take a minute to appreciate CN’s initial reaction to LB getting knocked off the car versus his final reaction.

Chloe: is in handcuffs

Good job giving Rogercop a hostage, Chloe.

Chat Noir: So now we’re the nations most wanted felons???

Technically you guys ARE vigilantes.

Vigilantes who are being allowed to do as they please as they have the trust of the civilians and government not to mention ordinary people wouldn’t be able to handle akuma attacks well, as seen in the Origins special.

Chat Noir: We should go and defend ourselves in the court of law!

Chat Noir is pure.

I love this transition so much. He goes from “whoops I’m caught” to “haha so are you” in 0.2 seconds.

.....

...........

...............He’s not wrong.

All in all a good episode with a few faults.

WandaVision Episode 8 spoilers

Ok I heard this episode is sad so I’m prepared to cry and ruin my eyeliner.

I’m just emotionally preparing myself rq before I start I’m assuming a lots gonna go down cause the second episode is the finale.

I’m still not ready 2 minutes later lmao wait.

Okay hmm the title is called Previously On so we’re going back in time to her childhood based on the summary.

I think we’re gonna get more insight on her and Visions relationship and how it formed and hopefully get to see her relationship with her brother I’m starting now.

Ugh my TV is glitching

Okay we’re starting out in witch trials so it’s Agathas backstory the lady staring at her looks familiar. Oh it’s her mom

Her powers are blue here she’s into dark magic and the book in her basement is the stolen book from Doctor Strange im assuming she began learning dark magic from it l.

As they started to drain her. Her powers became blue and she starting to drain them back. I’m assuming the witches shared power and it was blue and now that it’s dark magic it’s purple.

Wow she killed her whole coven my draining them of their life and magic. Then she took her mother’s amulet so that’s the amulet she’s always wearing from the comics is.

She admitted her thoughts weren’t available and she was never under control.

Her accent is back because she’s angry because of her children being missing.

She possessed the fake Pietro from another universe she didn’t say he was from another universe she just said she couldn’t get to his body so she had to do possession instead of necromancy.

She picked up the fly now she’s chanting in Latin

She’s mind controlling and talking about how thousands of people can be under your control and all interact with each other with complex storylines which makes me think she wants Wanda power because she’s jealous she can do everything like transformation and mind control without having to study all the spells

“Magic on autopilot,” Dhe wants to know how she did this and she wouldn’t tell her and now she’s manipulating her with her own loneliness. She took a piece of her hair so now she has her DNA

Real reruns aka memories so she can look into them to see how she did it.

Her kids are crying out for in the basement so she’s gonna go with Agatha to save them I honestly don’t think the cries were her own.

OHHH MY GOD

All the movies her parents were going to sell were the decades and movies she did projected.

When Wanda walked into the memory she turned into her younger self,

The Dick Van Dick show is in the TV shape of the one Darcy used on the first episode so we know where she got her inspo for that one.

Everything outside makes me think this is the scene where her parents die.

The Stark bomb just hit and she’s looking around and can’t find her family yeah the Stark industry label is in front of her and she’s reverted back to Sokovian because she’s young and not the best at English yet I’m assuming.

The TV I’d still on and playing the show “At the end of the episode you realize it was all a bad dream,” I’m not sure why she said that part in English maybe because she’s referring to the show and movie nights are for English?

Agatha is asking if she used a probability hex to stop the bomb because Wanda reached her hand out towards it and that’s how she uses her powers.

Maybe Agatha is hinting towards Wanda being a natural born witch?

“So what I see here a baby witch obsessed with sitcoms and years of therapy ahead of her. Doesn’t explain your recent hijinks,”

Wanda used her powers subconsciously there and she’s probably using her powers subconsciously to keep Westview running and she used them subconsciously to get it started.

“The only way forward is back,”

She’s referring to Wanda not wanting to go back to Hydra I haven’t seen the scene yet but I’m assuming it’s because the testing was painful and because she now knows who hydra is and what it stands for.

“Don’t be scared you already lived it once,”

They have Loki’s sceptor of course im assuming they got it from SHIELD since they are SHIELD.

She didn’t have to touch the sample it just came to her on its own further proving she’s a witch but I don’t think she knows she moved it,

She touched the tesseract making the mine stone she then absorbed all its energy and passed out.

In isolation she’s watching another sitcom I just can’t figure out which it is.

I’m sure the episode on the TV is important “she hasn’t got any feeling,” maybe it’s about the Westview citizens or maybe it’s about vision being a doll or like a puppet and the brother is like “she hasn’t got any feelings” just like when Pietro or Fietro called Vision a popsicle an inanimate object

“So little orphan Wanda got up close and personal with an infinity stone that amplified what otherwise would’ve died on the vine. The broken pieces of you are adding up buttercup I have a theory but I need more,” This is probably talking about how if you don’t use your powers or learn to control them you stop having them but the infinity stone just made the powers she already had stronger. The name Scarlett Witch is starting to make sense now.

Another door another memory that I’d her watching Malcom in the middle.

She said the Avengers compound was the first home she had ever shared with Vision and with her family and country gone she felt alone so I’m assuming she’s with Vision cause he cured her loneliness.

Vision walking through the walls again she asking him to watch the sitcom with her. The sitcoms are important to her and she’s sharing them with him.

“So it is funny because of the grievous injury that man just suffered?” Vision

“No he’s not really injured,” Wanda

“How Can you be sure?”

“It’s not that kind of show,”

I think this is sort of related to the fact that nothing bad ever happens in Westview permanently like in Malcolm in the middle where the roof structure fell on the dad sure he got hurt but it wasn’t a detrimental injury.

He wants to comfort to her “The only thing that would bring me comfort is seeing him again,” Wanda about Pietro she felt the same with Vision hence why Westview is happening and why he’s back.

“I’m so tired, It’s just like this wave washing over me again and again it knocks me down and when I try stand up it just comes for me again and I can’t- it’s just gonna drown me,” How she explains her grief and depression we’re getting a glismpe of how she copes with death in her actual reality.

Vision says he’s always been alone he never experienced loss because he never had a loved one to lose.

“What is grief if not love preserving,” Okay damn Vision getting all deep.

Aww they just had a moment and now he’s laughing over the show how sweet. The awkward smile they did at eachother. How cute

Vision was dead and she wanted him back now we get to see how she stole Visions body back from her perspective.

All the news on the TV playing might not be revelant but it’s related to tamiles being reunited after the blip. So this is very shortly after the blip and some people might be right thinking it was almost directly after Tony’s funeral.

“He deserves a funeral at least I deserve it,”

They’re letting her take him probably to be able to paint her as a villain which is why Hayward cut out the first part of the footage.

She’s being shown him take apart and sawed she’s in pain seeing him practically dying again. Hayward called vision a weapon and Wanda is saying he’s not a weapon because he wasn’t and he didn’t want to be a weapon Hayward is hiding his true intentions of bringing him back to be his own weapon

“I just want to bury him. That’s all I want,”

She said she can’t do that she truly believes she can’t.

He won’t let her take $3 billion of vibranium to put in the ground she just wanted him to have a proper burial but Hayward provoked her and set her off.

She can’t feel him. A nod to how Vision said “I only feel you,” When he asked Wanda to kill him there is nothing left. She hot in the car and went to Westview she left and when she left she didn’t have Visions body.

She’s pulled up to place where she planned to grow old in with Vision and it’s been demolished this is the scene where she breaks down crying over it. And when she grieved she lets it get the best of her which is how she put the house back together without realizing she was doing it. Then that spread over the whole town and she is projected her own version of Vision. But I’m unsure if this is really Vision or not because then she’d be way more powerful than I ever believe to be able to create people own her own.

Oh wow she’s showing all the lights and it’s like she’s own set so she’s back to where Agatha had this all set up and she was the audience.

Agatha is choking the twins “I know what you are. You have no idea how dangerous you are. You’re supposed to be a myth. A being capable of spontaneous creation. and here you are using it to make breakfast for dinner.” Maybe Wanda was a prophecy before hand and she just never learned how powerful she really was and now Agatha is trying to feed off her powers I’m assuming she’s going to try to get Wanda to push her powers into her so she can drain her.

“Let go of my children,” Wanda with her accent coming back.

“Oh, yes your children and Vision and this whole little life you’ve made, this is Chaos magic Wanda. That makes you the Scarlett Witch,” Ugh yes one of those moments where they say a name of the movie or a character that’s basically it’s own movie I love it.

I’m gonna research Chaos magic and then I’ll reblog this again after I research some other things too.

End credits time. “Team is ready for launch,” They’re going to use Wanda own power to attack her using Visions actual corpse. He’s been brought back as the one thing he didn’t want to be. A weapon. I’m not sure who that was who powered it up but was it Monica’s contact?

Also doesn’t Agatha have Monica now if she was possessing Fietro? I have a lot of questions that I can’t get out right now
