#i hope he isnt dead or something that would suck

[softspace-fics]

Hi, absolutely no pressure to write anything, but would you be willing to write an agere fic/ oneshot ft. Caregiver Quill from the MCU with a little reader, preferably his daughter/kid if you wanna keep it gender neutral. Maybe something about him comforting them after they have a bad dream about him going away again post Infinity War, making them a bottle and/or rocking them with comforting words? Maybe reader is between 2-4? Aaa unsure if this is good or not, could you tag @quillcore in it so I don’t miss it if you do? Again absolutely no pressure!! Its just so hard to find content about my dad :’) thank you in advance if you do,,

Never gone.

A/N - Yes!! I love Quill! I suck with dialog because I'm not super used to writing it, but I tried! Also, Im not sure what preferred caregiver name or nickname you wanted but I did my best ^.^

Masterlist - All my work!

Warnings ⚠️: Mentions of death, yelling, panic attack, carrying, fluff, use of fem pronouns and nicknames, side characters of Steve Rogers and Tony Stark.

Papa!Peter Quill x Little!Fem reader

_______

"We don't know if he's going to be back pumpkin. We aren't even sure what happened. You'll have to stay here in the tower until everything finally settles" Steve calmly reminds you, after you ask for your papa for the millionth time.

Your papa had gone missing almost 6 months ago, and all uncle steve could tell you was that he just.. poofed?

"It doesn't matter anymore Steve. They aren't coming back. Lying to the kid won't help!" Tonys booming voice suddenly came through the closed door that him and Steve were currently in.

"She doesnt understand what's going on. I refuse to-" Steves voice suddenly went too quiet to hear.

You slowly crawl to the door, sitting right by it, trying to hear through the solid wood.

"For all we know they could be dead. Giving her false hope will end up causing more problems when she eventually find out." Tony's stern voice pierced your ears as much as it did your heart.

"Papa dead?" You slowly whisper out, your breath getting stuck in your throat as tears brimmed in your eyes.

Steve stormed out to the living room, and immediately saw the tears streaming down your face and crouched in front of you, worry that you overheard, coursing through his veins.

"Hey hey, Y/N, what's wrong?"

"Dead? He dead?" You look at Steve with nothing but agony and fear, your voice strained.

His look of disappointment and his eyes filling with fear of your reaction tells you everything you need.

"Nonono not Papa! Papa! No! No-"

"Sweetheart!" Quills gentle yet firm voice shakes you out of your awful dream. You look around your surroundings before throwing your arms around your papa, sobbing.

"Shh, shh. It's okay, it's all over. I'm alive. Your safe." Quill gently runs his hands through your hair, softly rocking you, helping you to get through another nightmare.

The day you found out he had been blipped, was the day your world fell apart. After finally getting him back a year ago, you still havent recovered from the 5 years without him.

Quill gently picks you up, walking around your apartment, whispering gentle praises and comforting words.

When you finally peak out of his neck, your face swollen and puffy from crying, your eyes full of fear and worry. Worry that you could be imaginating his smell, that everything you see could be a lie.

"Sweetheart, i'm back, permanently. Theres nothing that could take me from you ever again." Your papa gently reassures you.

When he came back and they defeated Thanos (Or the big bad purple guy), he stepped away from being a fighter, and part of the squad that would go on missions. He would still help from on base, but he would spend most of his time with you.

Quill softly bounces you as he walks to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle, and quickly heating it up to your favorite temp.

Its around the time the bottles in your lips and his soft singing fills your ears that you realize this isnt a dream. Your able to comprehend that your papa wasnt dead. He was still here to love you even if that meant that when you thought he was gone, he had to remind you he would always come back for you.

He walks around the living room calming you downa s you finish off your bottle, and the sun starts to peak through the blinds.

Quill softly sets the now empty bottle down on the coffee table and walks back to his room, holding you closely to his chest.

He lays down with you in his arms, softly kissing your nose, and telling you a story of his time in the guardians. How your uncle rocket was just the silliest friend, even if your Papa got annoyed by the little trash panda at times.

"Papa?" You tiredly ask.

"Yes, Sweetheart?" He softly replies.

"No gone?"

"No gorgeous. Papas not gone. Never gone from you."

Requested: Luke Castellan x Male! Reader

synopsis: reader tries to find an alternative for Luke, but Luke isnt having it

Sorry I changed some of it cuz I wasn’t sure how to go about it! hope thats alright

You paced back and forth trying to come up with some other option. Luke had given you an ultimatum, either join forces with him and Kronos or never see him again. And the choice was weighing you down heavily.

How were you supposed to choose between your boyfriend who stood on the side of evil, or the found family you had at camp half-blood. It wasn’t a fair choice at all. You wanted to say that anyone who would make you choose, should be the one you lose but you loved him to much for that to be an option.

Later that night when Luke came back he sat beside you on your bed, his hand lightly covering yours. “So, have you made your choice?” you sucked in a deep breath. “Can’t we just runaway together? Start a new life far away from here?” You could tell he didn’t like your answer but you were dead-set on making him say yes. “I mean think about it, we could leave the country, make a life of our own. Hide away somewhere just the two of us, we don’t need anything else, just each-” he cut you off while abruptly standing up, “No! Either way the gods will always be watching!” you knew how he got with arguments but you couldn’t help it, “And you think Kronos wouldn’t always be watching if he took charge!? Do you really think he wouldn’t take advantage of being in power!?”

He was mad, boiling with rage, the tips of his ears going red along with his face. “You’re just a stupid boy, you don’t know anything!” you scoffed at his remark, “Says the one who’s got no clue what would happen to him, if Kronos took charge, especially if you intend to be vessel for him! You’d die or at least part of you would, maybe part of you already has. Because the boy who loved me; This isn’t him.”

You wanted to punch him, throw him out of your cabin, scream at him. But at the same time you wanted to show him you still cared for him, that you loved him despite what he was turning into.

“Or maybe you don’t love me enough to trust me” you laughed in his face, “I would’ve followed you anywhere, because i trusted you would keep me safe and that I could keep you safe. But this is something neither of us can protect each other from. I love you enough to tell you when you’re going off the rails. I love you enough to warn you of danger when i see it.” Luke looked down, more ashamed in himself now than ever, “I’m still leaving tonight.” He muttered quietly, “just didn’t want to leave you behind.” You sighed before sitting down next to him, “I’m not joining you, I’m not gonna sit back and watch you do something reckless that can and probably will kill you. I’m sorry, but I love you to much to sit back and allow that.”

“I love you” he kissed your cheek before making his way to the door, opening and closing it behind him. Leaving you lost and broke, knowing you did all you could to help him. Not knowing if you’d ever see your first love again.

the people in charge of nutrek dont care about the ideals and premise of star trek and star trek: picard is its biggest tell. its a story that would have been much better if they hadnt brought back legacy characters but also would have been much better had it not been written at all because nobody wants more space cops

the moment picard decided to wash his hands clean of the romulan android situation was the moment i knew that oh this isnt the picard everyone has come to know and love. at his core who he is someone that would not let anyone die if he could help it. like thats his thing if he has the power to help he will!! and yeah sure thats shown in pic too but he literally was like ‘fuck you federation im not gonna help u ignore the romulans cries for help’ when he fr coulda just asked for forgiveness after helping with the power he had as a respected captain or whatever he is. something EVERY oldtrek captain has done time and time again

and yes! characters and their ideals change over time but not fucking like THAT

pic takes a tragedy, a genocide, and takes the romulans, a species that has for the most part always been the enemies of the federation and makes them easy prey. it makes them evil except for those that defected or disguised themselves (look up white passing and what it was actually for and why its a thing). and to put it into more understandable words:

lets say the federation is usamerica (bc for all intents and purposes thats literally what it represents) and that the romulans represent people of color and jews. pic serves for us on a platter that the genocide was just another thing that happened and “its okay they died anyways. romulans have never been on the side of the federation and never wanted to be anyways so no loss” this is what the federation believes

pic has been severely affected by white supremacist and antisemitic ideology and like while yeah science fiction is used to discuss and challenge the oppression we experience today, youd think a franchise that has always preached about diversity inclusion and acceptance would finally get over mass genocide of a “lesser” race as a form of storytelling. its uncomfortable and not in a way in which it makes you think but in a way that shows that even hundreds of years in the future vitriol prevails and it fucking sucks. its harmful towards people of color and jews when even in science fiction we cant escape that someone out there wants us dead

we’ve had enough of white supremacy and antisemitism taking a lil seat at the table to cause ruckus there are 100% other things that could have created and interesting dilema. the federation is literally on some cristobal colon shit n the more nutrek that gets made the less star trek holds up the ideals of diversity inclusion acceptance and love that it preached from its inception. we are instead given a narrative that yeah no matter how long you fight no matter how hard you fight you will NEVER win because systemic racism always wins in the end. its a tired and weak narrative and just goes to show if you dont have any other engaging stories to tell just stop telling the stories and stop ruining characters by making them do things they absolutely wouldnt even stand for

we r stuck with characters that suck up to other characters just because of their legacy and the writing when everyone deserves to be way more mad at picard. sidenote all of the genuine progress that has been made in television with diversity and representation has gone like 20 steps back when it comes to portraying people of color bc not ONE from the main crew passes the paper bag test (again ive only seen season one) which further goes to show white supremacist ideals subtly shining through

the point of star trek is that there will be a better more welcoming loving kinder future than the present and the past. and yeah theyve never been good at portraying that exactly because hope cannot exist without despair. but if you do not learn the mistakes of the past you are bound to repeat them and clearly these writers have not been studying the source material

hope this helps idk man i just b saying shit sometimes sorry if some stuff is repetitive

[fionajames]

Omg hi Im sorry I haven’t been reuqesting! I’ve had like four assignments to do and school sucks so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Anyways. Requesting time!!! : may I please have a story about an AU where Fives succeeded and didn’t die and they find out about Echo and he goes there to rescue him or something? Please 🙏🏻? Im a sucker for these fics where Fives and Echo emotionally reunite and stuff.

Thank you so much! -Sha 🫡

Also: happy thanksgiving if you don’t get to this before then 🦃

five times

Hi Sha!!!!! I'm not gonna lie, my brain actually shattered at 'Thanksgiving'. We don't celebrate that here 😅 but tysm anyways!!!

School does suck and thats okay, im glad you are now!!!!!!

This isnt really what you wanted sorry, as its less fives-echo and more i-want-to-shoot-palpatine but i hope you do like it!!!

Everyone reading this, please, request!!!

The air Fives breathed in felt heavy as he panted, glancing frantically between his trapped Captain and General and to the Guard. His flittering gaze met Fox’s through his visor.

Fox grit his teeth as his head pounded again, like someone was punching his skull over and over and over. It had been aching since his talk with the chancellor that morning. Now, he stood with his gun raised in trembling hands. 

Something in his mind - something in his mind - was ordering him to pull the trigger, such a simplistic action that would knock down the boy ahead, the supposed terrorist.

But he knew Fives, and this was not him.

And so Fox pushed back that person, that voice in his head, and he listened to Fives. They all listened to the spluttering words of their vod, the General included. As soon as Rex was released from the shield, he enveloped his little brother in a hug, pulling him close and muttering comfort. 

The look Rex had given Fox from over Fives’ shoulder was enough to make Fox’s heart drop to his stomach.

                                       -

Days had passed since Fives’ confession, and now Fox was speed-walking through the Senate, blasters in hand with gritted teeth. Everything he’d heard, felt, and figured out had added up to this impulsive decision, as he pressed the door control to enter the Chancellor’s office.

“Commander Fox!” Chancellor Palpatine greeted cheerfully, but Fox only glared harder through his visor. He used to think the Chancellor’s cheerful greetings could be irritating at times, and now he felt like there were deeper levels of brainwashing being placed on him every time they encountered one another.

Which was exactly what it was.

Fox was barely in control of himself as he raised his right arm, safety-off on his blaster as he aimed the weapon at his brainwasher.

Once, Fox and all his brothers had been puppets on strings, tied carefully to the Chancellor’s fingertips. But those strings were cut, when Fox pulled the trigger.

Five.

Times.

In.

A.

Row.

Five times for Fives, Fox thought bitterly, watching the Chancellor’s face fall to complete and utter shock, before his body collapsed to the floor. Five bullet holes seeped smoke from the Chancellor’s forehead.

Fox felt his teeth loosen from their rigid position, as he turned away from the corpse and marched out of the office, down the hallway and away from the puppeteer. 

Down with the puppet-master.

                                             -

Weeks since the Chancellor’s death and the Senate was finally starting to settle down. Fives had given his entire recount of the events, and with Rex, he was slowly becoming his former self. Fox had been held in jail overnight but released the next day after the Senate agreed it was a good deed.

Senator Bail Organa was now rising as the new Chancellor.

Fives shrugged his shoulders back as he wandered after Rex through the Revolution’s corridors. With the Sith dead, the War was staggering along slowly, although Dooku was in charge. Dooku had kept the fight going since the death of his Master, but everyone could see the end - thankfully - drawing near.

“Clone Force 99 has returned from their mission,” Rex told the ARC Trooper, who nodded eagerly. After capturing a post recently, Fives and Rex had recognised a battle tactic used against them, and had reported it. Clone Force 99 had been sent out to investigate. “Apparently there’s something we need to see in the hangar.”

Fives nodded again and Rex sighed softly.

He feared how long it would take for Fives to become his cheerful self again.

The pair made their way to the hangar quickly, where they were reunited with the Bad Batch - whom they’d met briefly beforehand. That was when Hunter spoke up.

“There’s something you should see, Captain,” the long-haired Clone explained and Rex raised an eyebrow. From inside the shuttle, a pair of footsteps echoed. A figure began half-limping down the slope, and Fives sucked in a breath upon seeing the figure’s face.

“Echo,” he whispered breathlessly, and their eyes locked.

Echo’s pale face broke into a grin as his teary brother rushed to him, engulfing him in a hug. Tears fell from both of the Clone’s eyes as they wept together.

Together, finally.

Together, again.

Hope you enjoyed!!!!

My fav line in this is 'Down with the puppet-master' cause im a sucker for poetic shit.

Request please!!!!

Today I Beat: Moon Remix RPG Adventure

Moon is a hard game for me to talk about. Not for the lack of anything, far from it, this game is filled to the brim with charm and strangeness but merely for the fact that I dont quite know where to begin. Ill start with the aspect of the game that I can speak the least about which is the gameplay. The game is best known as an "anti-rpg" and the gameplay reflects this by kinda not being an rpg. It plays a lot more like a point and click game but without the pointing and clicking. Most of the time your walking around and showing things to characters in hopes that they have something more useful to say then "huh?" and when your not doing that, your walking around aimlessly. A good chunk of the puzzles in this game can be pretty obtuse and any consistent flow of progress can be halted simply due to schedule conflicts. And while a part of me often felt frustrated that I had no clue what to do, the other part understood that it just came with the territory of being an "anti-rpg"; a rpg where you dont fight.

The term of "RPG" is used pretty loosely when used to describe games. Despite standing for "Role Playing Game", rpgs are known more commonly for how you play them. Killing enemies to gain XP so you can level up to kill more enemies and so on until you can kill the big bad. This is where the story of moon comes in, by putting you at the other end of the sword. While I wont be spending much time going over the story as I think its best experienced by playing the game and not listening to some autistic girl blabble on, I will relay the general gist of the game. The game starts as a fairly generic rpg, shining armor and all, but just as you reach the end, the perspective changes. You are no longer a knight on a mission to slay a dragon but a child controlling said knight but just as he is ready to walk away for the night, he gets sucked into the tv. It is then your job to save the souls of the "monsters" slain by the knight, acting almost as an angel (albeit in the form of a dead child rather than a divine being but I digress). With all of this being said, its time for me to divulge into what truly makes this game special to me: its style.

To this day I have yet to find a game that quite looks like moon. Its almost as if the developers were throwing art styles against the wall to see whatever stuck and just, nothing fell off. The game uses pre-rendered images for the backgrounds which isnt at all unusual especially for ps1 games but its in moons disinterest of realism where they truly feel unique.

Often, the game will not only used pre-rendered images of early cg settings but will then add real images into them, making them make the distinction between what is real and what is cgi all the more apparent. One could analyze this as a metaphor for the games themes, a digital world clashing with human emotions but I think thats missing the forest for the trees here. The clashing of both elements make for such a distinct style and thats not even mentioning the character designs.

You could have told me that every character in this game come from different games with radically different art styles and I would have no reason to disagree. However with the game being as strange as it is, no one feels out of place. And I havent even gotten started on the claymation sprites.

Im a big big stop motion fan so naturally when i found out that all 51 "monsters" are animated using said medium, I stood up and did 2 cartwheels.

Its a great way to distinct them from anything else in the game as saving their souls is the main focus of the game. It reminds me of old cartoons where you could tell what would move or not based off the coloring. If this doesn't show how you special of a game this is I dont know what will.

My personal favorite aspect of the game, however, isn't the graphics, isn't the gameplay, but the soundtrack or rather lack thereof (in a traditional sense).

In moons ambitious goal to subvert almost every norm in gaming, most of the game takes place in total silence with the exception of your own foot steps, occasional ambiance and a rare dramatic sting. Thats not to say the game has no music in it though, far from it. Instead of your normal scripted music, game features what is, in essence, a built in mp3 player.

However instead of adding your own music, the game features 36 songs, MDs as the game calls it, all ranging in artist, genre, and even tone. Some songs will act as a mellow ambiance and others lean closer to breakcore. This MD is my personal favorite:

As this "review" ,or whatever you wanna call it, comes to a close, id like to talk about my favorite scene in the game.

-SPOILERS AHEAD-

Once you've completed your mission of constructing the rocket, your sent into the abyss of space and for almost 10 minutes your just venturing quietly into the stars with nothing much happening. That is until a character who i will not name, fades in and out of existence on top of your ship and the melancholic masterpiece of a song "Promise" starts to play

He tells you:

"Soon your journey will come to an end.

When one journey ends...another journey begins.

Life is like one night's dream.

Waking and sleeping

Birth and death.

Many things appear and vanish.

What has vanished appears.

You and I are no exception.

Throughout the universe...everything dies, and is born

Life rolls on down the road.

The question is, when you wake from the dream, when will you set out toward another dimension? Will you be able to open the door?

Soon you will reach our final destination.

Perhaps we'll meet again, at the side of some road.

Goodbye."

■

"heyy kid how ya feeln?", Jacinta whispers.

She lightly brushes the hair out of my face. Her weight is flushing the mattress so that the side of my hip is pressed into hers. She clasps her hand to my forehead then my feels my quickly flushing face. The evening light leaking in through the shuttered windows lights her black hair to amber. She gives me a crooked smile.

"You're burnin up buddy. We gotta get some fluids in you..."

She turns to a small table behind her, her messy plait spills over her shoulder and swishes over the bare small of her back. The rattle of paper on board heralds

"Petragua or citralyte?"

I absently nod to the petragua and she replaces the other and proffers my mouth a straw.

Why am i always so... behind. Its like im in slow motion...always just barely responding...

She gazes down at me warmly as i suck down the plum-apricot-chem slurry. The infusion perks me up a bit.

"Alright now don't drain it dry. Don't want it coming back up all over my vest."

She pulls it from my lips and i eek a short and quiet sucking sound that manages a full 5 seconds of embarrassment even though the sound was .3 seconds long.

"Ill be real with ya. You did great..exceptional even! Most of the time we dont even get to a stroll the first time we just... well its a whole lot more work on my end than what happened with you so i just wanted to say... im proud of you."

She squeezes my shoulder and flashes me a big deep blue smile.

"I know all this been hard on you and you've put in a lot of work before you even got in the pit and it payed off."

She picks up the petragua again and hangs it in the air for a second.

"To your dreams...or better yet your nightmares."

She sips some of it then positions it back towards me again. I slurp with even more energy this time.

"Having such a strong liminal drive link seams to really make a difference. Honestly i think you two should meet but we have to get clearance pfft its bullshit. How are you supposed to pilot together if you don't even know eachother? How are we supposed to figure out what this spark is that makes the liminal drive work if we never get to observe you interactin' in a controlled manner? I swear im gonna have a word-"

*slurpppppp* she pulls it from my face.

"Oh listen to me blatherin' on, you only got 18 hours til you're on duty again. You can head back to your room whenever. Ill see you then ok? I just wanted to check in on you."

She finishes donning her vest and clacks and jingles out the door with her plait fishtailing behind her.

[robozombii]

lets say. metaphorically. i am gripping your shoulders with upmost strength (if thats cool lmao) sorry in advanced because im gonna get really annoying rq BUT ive started talking about duet and i WILL. NOT. STOP. also i dooo plan on sharing the slides to some but its been a wip for like a whole year😅so i doubt ill finish it soon. anyhow [inhale]

WARNING FOR mentions of the backrooms, death, but its not the main focus

about duet being an inciting incident, i could only GUESS as to what the gangs situation was like prior to duets encounter. but arthur in the comic dismisses lewis as soon as he mentions him. and THIS??

ITS JUST A LINE. BUT IT SHOWS that the gang avoided anything to do with lewis. and thus, without duet slapping arthur in the face with cryptic literature, they wouldve probably been stuck in a depressing state of avoidism. which DOESNT MOVE A PLOT. BUT DUET DID!!! DUET THE FUCKING MADMAN

duet literally couldve had SO MUCH CONTROL over the gang. in the beginning at least- from encountering arthur at his most vulnerable state (which would be easier to influence), to giving the magic book, to telling arthur to get some gas for the van. that seems like a minor detail but imagine if they didnt and went to a gas station instead of the mansion. duet couldve literally had their ENTIRE ROAD TRIP planned out.

and another note- this???

theres a lot of things to note about the comic panel by itself -how a book connected to duet has vines? connection to shiromori or rose thorns that point to lewis- AND THE COLOR IN ARTHURS EYES which does sort of resemble the possession and control reverb had over him. could this be a way of duet controlling arthurs will? but theyre both purple which caught my attention because COLOR IS IMPORTANT!!! it might be a stretch but it really is in msa. and i dont think duet and lewis would team up necessarily- i doubt theyd have the same motives. but duet isnt just 'the weird boss of tome tomb' theyre so much more CAPABLE. they could possibly forsee the future and shit?? IDK??

and going back to chloe- while i feel she has a bit of a motive to mess with the gang -its immature but a motive. go look at her wiki for an idea- duet could have the actual CAPABILITIES to put a plan into motion. a theory i saw stated that chloe was the 'SOLO' in reverbs intro, and thus a contrast to her friend duet, but could it also be that SOLO is an alternate name for duet themself? its just something to speculate, if one or the other could be malicious, or both.

OK RANT PART TWO: NOBODY FUCKING WRITES DUET and neither do i.. yet. but i rarely see them mentioned either!! WHICH SUCKS BECAUSE THE CANON HAS LITERALLY SHOWN THEM TO BE A SIGNIFICANT TOOL IN DRIVING MSAs PLOT. BEING THE INCITING INCIDENT.

this isnt so prominent in my fics, theyre mentioned in both of my published ones though- in full bloom, they say an odd phrase to vivi, just as they did to arthur in canon. it doesnt really do anything BUT i plan to utilize it in a possible sequel

in my BACKROOMS FIC THOUGH? theyre.. not mentioned that much either oops. but it goes to show just how odd an interpretation of duet could get. i stated earlier that duet possibly had control over the gangs future, part magic part manipulation, and thats fine in canon. they probably have good motives by pushing the gang together and FORCING them to make up- but in the backrooms fic, the gang literally ends up in a fucked up world and one of them ends up DEAD. like. if duet was aware of such a thing, and led the gang with full intentions to such a thing..

like- do you see what im saying? there could be tons of aus where just a touch of their influence fucks everyone up and turns them into a darker character than what they are right now. AND I LOVE MAKING FUCKED UP BLORBOS. PLEASE WRITE DUET AND CHLOE MORE OR AT LEAST IMPLEMENT THEM INTO PLOTS THEYRE THERE TO DO SHIT LET EM DO SHIT!!!!

if you wanna im not forcing you😭i hope i get an opportunity to REALLY really write em but a lot of my fic ideas are centered around arthur and vivi woops. anyways- thats just a FRACTION of what youd see on my msa presentation lmaoooo. i dont even have this rant added on there- so i probably should. feel free to add your own thoughts and stuff i love the fanart and fics this fandom has to offer but can we also offer SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS OF RANTING. please

2/3 ‘POOR SUNSHINE? DEB SUNSHINE IS THE ONE THAT *CHEATED* AND YOU OUT OF EVERYONE HERE KNOWS THAT BRIAN LOVES HIM WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK JUST HAPPENED? Did I hallucinate that episode where Brian was all hot in that green light? thank you linds- HE SHOULDVE SHOWED IT? Fuck you Debbie, fuck you. You know! And you clearly know that Justin cheated but you don’t care? I THOUGHT SHE CARED ABOUT BRIAN?! Does no one care about him except me?! Fuck you too Ted. BRI!!! I AM YOUR REAL FRIEND! I DEFENDED YOU THE ENTIRE TIME! Oh look it’s cheater! BRIAN DONT SHOW HIM YOU CARE! Fuck all of you!..okay Mikey, maybe that’s a bit much..is that why he got punched?’ He is so stressed that he genuinely looks like he’s two seconds away from a stroke ‘oh no Bri Bri is home. Is this his first time coming to an empty loft since the prom? OH he knows Justin was here, what is he holding, is that Justins? If he holds it to himself like in Brokeback mountain, I’m killing myself. Oh you sweet poor baby, it’s okay, you still have me. OH NOT THE DRAWING! Good for you Bri Bri. But damn that hurts.. OH MY GOD HE TALKS ABOUT IT WITH LINDSAY?! SO HE WENT TO HER AND IS JUST POURING HIS HEART OUT? *NEVER* beg! (Linds says she saw it coming) Oh did ya? I fucking wonder why? No wonder he found someone else? (My name) can you play the episodes where she gets cheated on and how Bri reacted to it? You know who says shit like that? Horrible bitter evil people! (Lindsay says bri can get justin back) but people have the right to change and i always admired that about them! YOU NEVER LOVED HIM? that’s because you still love him. (Brian says hed never ask him to be something he isnt) this motherfucker would burn down the house with him still inside it if it meant everyone else got to be okay and happy.‘ ‘Debbie is about to beat Michaels ass! Why doesn’t she ever defend Brian?! FUCK YOU DEBBIE! EVERYTHING BUT LOVE HIM? IT WAS YOU WHO GOT HIM TO ADMIT IT! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?! HE CANT LOVE ANYBODY?! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU ALL! Each one of you is a horrible friend!’ He is once again outside smoking while walking up and down the yard. ‘Oh absolutely not! You are not bringing Ethan to a party that everyone else is at! FUCK YOU MEL! Literally everyone hates Brian. Fuck you all selfish assholes’ ‘i love Emmett and Ted as friends! I’ll like them as a couple if this dynamic doesn’t change.’ ‘BRIAN! he is miserable alone, isn’t he? YES BEN! HE NEEDS SOMEONE! FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS IT! Ben there is still hope for you!’ ‘Bri, doesn’t look good. He literally looks like he’s about to drop dead. And people dare to say he’s okay? All this is showing me is that they all suck as friends….*he winced and i was about to ask if he’s okay* oh dancing isn’t their thing, huh? or do they suck on purpose because he’s drugged up?’ Said with the biggest smile on his face ‘oh i forgot Mikey gets punched’ ‘can you take me to a gay bar? It looks fun and i think I would make a lot of friends. I think I’m fun- OH IS BRIAN GONNA GO? (The cringe scene with Debbie/Ethan/Justin happens) Why is he following Justin around? He is literally not even a step behind? That’s embarrassing. Go to hell. Dude just stay where you are. Or better yet, leave. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE TO SAY SUNSHINE! NO HE IS NOT ADORABLE! No offense to the actor, I’m sure he’s nice but HE IS NOT ADORABLE. OH MY GOD ITS BRIAN! What is wrong with Mel? She fucking invited him. Man fuck her. She makes it difficult to like her. *pauses ep* sorry, he just reminded me that I too have to go to the bathroom’ He is making this 45 minute ep last way longer than needed because he keeps pausing it to make an ‘ughhh’ sound whenever someone other than Brian is on screen. ‘OH MY GOD JUSTIN AND BRI! Are they for real gonna pee together? JUSTIN HE JUST TOLD YOU TO WASH YOUR HANDS! *said like Eric in Sex Ed* DIRTY PIG! (brian says thee line) *pauses tv on him and walks up to it* THIS *waves his hands all over Brian* is killing me! He looks sad! And telling him he hopes he gets what he wants? FUCK! he wants you, dont think otherwise!’

Oh yes, the beginning of S3 when Team Brian needs to be extra fucking protective because nobody but Michael (ugh) is taking Brian’s side. To the extent they have sides (I feel like Brian especially is not interested in “sides”). They both fucked up and no one sees it.

“this motherfucker would burn down the house with him still inside it if it meant everyone else got to be okay and happy.” HE REALLY AND TRULY GETS BRIAN KINNEY

Ohhh the ill-fated Ted/Emmett relationship. I’ll be curious as to his thoughts as this progresses and unfolds.

Can you take me to a gay bar? I love your brother. I think the entire fandom wants to take him to a gay bar.

And yes that bathroom scene is so heartbreaking. Brian is devastated but just wants Justin to be happy…

Thanks again I really appreciate the kind words. I hope next year is a great year for you too! And yes Twitter was an awful place to go on after Elvis came out. There are some Elvis fans on there, but the haters outrank them. There’s so much hate and false information on there in regards to Elvis. And hypocrisy. Many people on there have no qualms being fans of other artists who had problematic personal lives, but they love finger pointing about Elvis in particular. And like you said they can’t even get basic information right. Elvis didn’t marry Priscilla when she was underage. He also never claimed to invent rock n’ roll, rejected the king title, and credited the black artists who influenced his sound. And contrary to popular belief, many black artists were fond of him and he had black fans in real time before the racism allegations ruined his reputation. But if you try to point any of this stuff out, no one wants to hear it! It’s sad but I won’t bother anymore. It’s the same thing with TikTok, although I’ve come across Elvis fans on there too. Thankfully Tumblr is one of the few chill places to be an Elvis fan. Sorry for messaging you so much but this is something that’s been bugging me for awhile and I appreciate your Elvis postings and needed to vent to someone who may understand where I’m coming from. I’m glad that you did understand and I will try my best to take your advice! Take care :)

do you want to know the real reason these ppl are so aggressive about their elvis hatred despite having favs who have done nasty things and despite there being many currently living musicians who are out there right now doing nasty things?

its bc hes popular

hes popular and they dont like him and that makes them upset

this is legit the only real reason why theyre so aggressive and spend so much of their time hating on a dead man when there are currently living musicians who belong in prison for horrible crimes. its very obviously not about social justice or anything like that bc if it were they would be focusing their energy on ppl like iggy pop or steven tyler or kanye west

elvis is popular and beloved by the world and hes gaining even more fans now that baz's movie about him is out. and when you dislike smth or someone it sucks seeing them become even more popular and talked about

there isnt any rational reason for their dislike which is why trying to explain the facts to them is pointless. thats why its best to ignore them! take comfort in the fact that at least youre not a hypocrite like they are and dont try to tear things down just bc youre upset at their popularity

anyway im glad i could help you out!! my ask box is always open if you'd like to chat with me more! take care anon <3

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 333

Golden Time/Can You Hear Me?

“Golden Time”

Plot Description: Sam’s efforts to help Eileen include a trip to Rowena’s old place, where and ambush awaits. Castiel goes it alone as he works the case of a missing boy

(I thought Eileen was DEAD dead)

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: I don’t know if she’ll die but I hope she does. *I* wouldn’t trash Rowena’s residence (end of sentence…but I also wouldn’t do it and expect to live). Yeah. She’s dead. I’d be ok

Cas is goin by Clarence again 🥺

Eileen got dragged to hell by the hellhound that killed her…ok…but like…i can’t remember if that’s a new rule from Chuck or whatever because they’ve definitely taken a soul from hell to send to heaven before. They rescued Bobby, why can’t they do the same for Eileen?

What IS goin on with Dean? His nihilistic attitude is irritating

They were so cute and deserved more than they got (San and Eileen)

Oh are there witches keeping an eye on this place? But like, in a bad way

Not to bring in Stranger Things but this woman whose son is missing and her relation to the town is very much giving Winona Ryder’s character

Sam! No!! You cannot possibly be proposing bringing Mary back again! One, you KNOW she’s happy in heaven and two, you’ve still just clearly never watched fullmetal alchemist. OH!! Bring EILEEN back. That’s a lot better, for arbitrary reasons.

Ah fuck. The ambush. One of the witches looks vaguely familiar but apparently we’ve never seen her

This mom is really testing Cas’s patience

Yeah, just looking at Emily, I can tell her sister (and probably mother, too) didn’t like her (Omg the actress was Bree in the Twilight series…she apparently was also in an episode in 2006)

They found her son! Oh and the sheriff is behind it all. Cas stabbing him to death was unnecessarily attractive

This best be three on three. Where are you Eileen?

Oh, no. Poor Emily 😭 I get that she was gonna kill Sam but she was a victim of her mother and sister’s abuse and deserved a longer life

Can a ghost choke out another ghost?? Neither are alive nor need to breathe

Why is your power fading, Cas??? I hate this

Castiel being at all happy makes me worried, and that sucks (12 more episodes til THE one)

I’m glad they at least allowed her to wrap a towel around herself before Sam turned around

Dean being proud of Sam and Sam needing Dean by his side to defeat god 🥹

(Ok but like I’m glad we got some explanation for why people were saying Sam ended up marrying Eileen off screen in the finale)

“Can You Hear Me?”

Plot Description: a cry for help from across the stars. Terrifying creatures in 1380 Aleppo. And in Sheffield, something is infecting people’s nightmares. The Doctor and friends investigate

That felt very first five minutes of a Supernatural episode, not Doctor Who

Does Chris Chinball not trust people to write their own episodes??

Oh, Doc. She doesn’t want to be without her friends for more than a few moments 😭 she wants to skip straight to tomorrow

Why’s Ryan’s friend need like five locks on his door?

Girl, who are you talking to?? Oh she just automatically assumes her companions are with her

Oh it’s like an especially jacked werewolf but weirder. HER SCREWDRIVER ISNT PICKING UP A SPECIES AT ALL??

I thought their nightmares were supposed to be invaded, they’re fully awake

Oh, Ryan’s friend is having the nightmares…and he’s seeing the dude from his nightmares all over the place. The locks make sense now

Yaz’s sister is an icon and a hero. I don’t care that she’s been fired from her last three jobs, sometimes customers need to be told they’re annoying. And she wasn’t afraid to tell them

What are Yaz and her sister…not celebrating but acknowledging with this dinner and a movie? I hope we get told

Oh that’s the guy from the TARDIS, and I’m sure that’s also the guy Ryan’s friend has been seeing in his nightmares

I didn’t know that guy ate an offshoot of the chop chop fruit! Still…I prefer Buggy to this creep, and it seems he can only remove his fingers and…do…something…

It’s not all the time that the Doctor takes someone from a time much much earlier than ours far into the future and to a different galaxy altogether

What if—I got really distracted by the fingers covering so much of this place. I have a bad feeling about the girl Graham wants to save, but that might be my previous experience this evening with ambushes

So this dude can create your worst nightmares if he sticks one of his fingers in your ear. Gross

Seems we’re getting bits and pieces of what Yaz and her sister were acknowledging in her nightmare

Ryan is getting flashbacks from orphan 55 combined with his friend guilting him for not being there

And of course Graham has Grace angry he didn’t save her while also being told he’s sick and dying

What the fuck did that girl do to this guy that he’s torturing her with EVERYONE’S nightmares?!

Ah, fuck. I knew she shouldn’t have been freed. All of what this dude did was a ruse to get the Doctor to free the more powerful immortal…these two bet each other on who could cause more death and destruction on two innocent planets?

Again with the finger to the ear 😑

Yeah, I figured hers would be about Gallifrey (and to a lesser extent I thought it would be about this subtle timeless child plotline)

I love Ryan so much. He had ZERO tact telling his friend where they were and how they got there. Fantastic

Interesting how the guy wants to immediately gorge on nightmares and she wants to savor them

I’m less and less impressed with his power especially after seeing her smoky tendrils collecting nightmares

Oh damn!! They managed to trap the immortals by using the girl from Aleppo’s nightmare creatures and the guy immortal’s fingers

Something is going to happen to this woman who’s come to help bring Yaz back home, isn’t it? Maybe not…why was this THE nightmare for Yaz?

This is literally the first time 13 has had this kind of one on one emotional conversation with a companion, and it’s Graham

I WISH we were gonna go see Mary Shelley, but that probably won’t happen

[amateurasterism]

love to win !

synopsis ; you hate him, but the feeling isn’t mutual.

pairing ; tsukishima kei + gn!reader featuring nishinoya yu

notes ; acedemic rivals to lovers is tsukki’s thing istg. fluff, crack at the end, tsukki is down bad, a bit of blood but its just his injury from the shiratorizawa match. this is lowk the most self-indulgent piece of writing ive ever made lmfaoaoo but its my first haikyuu fic so yay!! i hope the fandom isnt dead lol

word count ; 1.3k

You hate Tsukishima Kei.

You hate his slightly curly blond hair that hangs disarray over his forehead, his boxy glasses and observant hazel eyes underneath. And you especially hate his smirk after every test when he shows you his paper, the 100% loud and standing tall at the top, taunting the 98% on yours.

He snickers down at you, still irritatingly taller even when sitting down, “sucks to suck, y/n.”

“Try hard,” you reply hastily. It’s a lie. You both know it—he doesn’t even try all that much. And you hate that he doesn’t even try to score so high, he’s just naturally…perfect. 

“Heard Karasuno lost to Aoba Johsai in a match yesterday,” you taunt, grinning at him. If he won a battle in your ongoing war of test scores and class debates, at least you can rub in his loss in his sport.

“Do you even know how to play volleyball?” Tsukishima looks at you with a tired expression, although his eyes are suddenly a bit brighter, soaking in the light of your taunting grin.

“‘Do you even know how to play volleyball?’” you repeat his question in a mocking tone, rolling your eyes upwards.

“Wow. How mature.” He sends you an identical eye roll then pulls on his headphones, occupying himself with his volleyball magazine. Though you notice he doesn’t turn the pages at all. His eyes are dark and lost in thought.

What you don’t know is that those thoughts are you.

Tsukishima Kei hates you.

He hates you because he loves you. Because you’re too dumb to realize the feelings he’s too scared to act on. Even if he’s terrible with emotions, he’s known it for a while. Seeing your teasing grin when you score higher at a test is the same feeling he gets when he blocks Ushijima’s spike: the feeling of undeniable love for something—or someone. He knows he’s in too deep when he compares the small number of things he loves to you because you’re what he loves the most.

Tsukishima could feel national’s on the tips of his fingers. If he could block Ushijima’s insane spikes once or twice more, Karasuno would have the ticket in their hands.

He had never felt so confident in his life, jumping even higher with the thrill of newly realized love for volleyball, until—crack!

Shit. The smallest hint of pain show in his widened eyes. The pain in his fingers was searing, but nationals was right there. He could tough it out until the end of the set.

But turns out he couldn’t, and everyone on the team could tell. So Tsukishima now finds himself in the nurse’s office, pain momentarily forgotten as he finds you sat at the nurse’s desk.

“Why are you here?”

“Maybe because I work here,” you reply hastily. He isn’t sure if he imagines the flash of worry in your eyes as they glance over his crippled fingers. “I could ask you the same question.”

“Hurt my fingers while trying to block a spike,” the blonde says, realizing how weak it made him sound to you. He had the sudden urge to explain to you that he was better than that, it was just that he was blocking the best spiker in the prefecture.

You grin like the fact is a winning statement, “looks like the perfect Tsukki isn’t as tough as he says he is.”

“Don’t call me that.” What a lie. He loves when you call him that—it never fails to make his ears turn embarrassingly pink. “Now hurry up, I have an important game to get back to.”

Rummaging through the health supplies, you scour for some bandages and tape as Tsukishima sits on the patients bed. “Wow, Tsukishima, I’m sure the game is really important if someone like you is so determined to get back in.”

“It’s our ticket to nationals, moron. Anybody would care,” he states, trying to use faux annoyance to layer over his rapid heart as he watches you start to dab on the injured fingers.

He hopes you don’t notice his initial hesitance when you touch his skin; he dislikes physical touch. But the more you work the more he realizes he could stand it with you. If only you didn’t see him as a rival. The hesitance is soon followed by a softening in his demeanor from the feeling of your fingers so comfortably and easily touching his. Like they’re meant to be intertwined. The feeling eases him too much that he tries to look away, but can’t find himself able to when he watches your skin on his, concentrated eyes unmoving.

You reach over to the bandages and scissors, using one free hand to cut pieces of it. Wordlessly, Tsukishima grabs the scissors with his free hand and cuts the bandages for you.

He’s so quiet you can barely hear him, almost like he’s scared of his own words, “Using scissors like that is dangerous.”

“Why do you care so much?” you say teasingly, hoping it covers how obviously red you are.

“Because I just do.”

“But why?” You’re moreso asking to distract yourself from his eyes so intensely focused on you than for an answer.

“Because I fucking like you, idiot.”

Tsukishima was one of the quietest people in school, but nothing beat the dead silence that followed. All the noises in the noisy sports center transferred to his head, pounding in a chaotic tumble of thoughts that all sprialed down to “why the hell did I say that.”

He can barely string together a sentence, but he’s so scared of your response, so scared of the rejection he knew would come out of your mouth, ending all the stupid interactions and rivalry he loved between you, that he blurts out the only thing he can hope distracts you from what he said.

“I think you’re bandaging that wrong.”

“I think I’m going to smash your face in.”

“As if you could reach me.” Tsukishima smirks, thanking everything you decided to ignore what he said.

Or not.

“Try me,” you mumble, thoughts a mess as you lean higher and pull Tsukki by his jersey to meet your lips together.

Every panicked thought left both your minds, replaced by that infatuation of having someones lips on yours after wishing for it for so long. This was more than the victory of getting the higher score on a test, because for once everything between you didn’t revolve around a dumb percentage or class debate. Now, it was you, him and nothing else.

You pull away before you can get caught up in the feeling of his slightly chapped lips on yours. “Don’t you have a very important game to win?”

Hazel eyes take a moment to travel from your lips to your eyes, and in a flash he stores that lovesick expression for later. His signature smirk and newfound determination replaces it, and you can’t help but feel proud as you watch him get back on the court.

When he wins, you’re the first person his eyes lock with. You’re hidden behind the stadium doors where nobody can see so he escapes his teammate’s hugs and runs to you. He kisses you harder than he did earlier, a kiss full of real feelings and adrenaline from winning, wearing that same lovesick expression from earlier.

“This is the first win I’m proud of you for having,” you say jokingly when you pull apart.

“And there are many more to come,” he replies.

“Don’t get cocky, Tsukki. Your fingers are still crippled—” a loud voice echoes through the hallway, cutting you off.

“Tsukki, where are you? It’s time for awards—WHAT THE FUCK?”

You turn around to find Nishinoya with his jaw on the ground and eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

“WHO? HOW—”

Tsukki cuts him off by grabbing the second-year by his shirt and going back to the courts.

“If you tell anyone about this, you’re dead Noya.”

Noya didn’t have to tell the team, because they found out on their own from Tsukki’s victorious smile—something none of them had seen before—wasn’t coming from the medals, but from you in the stands.

TW VENT!! dont read if ur sad or smth!!!

i hesitate to write this. genuinely. theres people i know will see it and theres those who wont but i really want to. i dont even feel upset writing this, i feel pretty good actually. i think writing this wont help, i know it wont, but itll be said right? which is better than nothing(maybe). 

some of us, and i wont name, have a horrible habit of checking accounts of people we no longer talk to and wow! you guessed it. exs fall into that. its mainly to see how theyre doing(usually /neg) or cus theyre bored. but we all get those memories. and the pain can meld to others which sucks, really. thankfully this doesnt happen often! but it still happens and it still hurts. an example is one of them sent a anon tell to an ex of ours asking if they checked their exs accounts. part of the reason why other than curiosity was because we were a little suspicious they sent us tells n shit. im more confident they dont now after a bit of research but we cant talk in headspace easily. and even so who wants to talk about their bad habits? not them. but to the actual point, ive had nightmares my whole life. i dont have dreams anymore as far as i can tell, they always morph their way into something i dont count as a decent thing. and more often than not ive found someone from our past whos hurt us a lot is always there. we had one with a man named steven who ruined our childhood a couple days ago. we screamed at him about how we hate him so fucking much and personally? thats progress! we recognize we didnt deserve it. we recognize that it was wrong and he deserves to burn. 

but quite a few of these nightmares have our most recent ex. since theyre not almost dead like steven i wont name them, ill refer to them as K. im not sure theyll see any of this. part of us hopes they will. part of me hopes that too. id like to help set the record straight.

we dated them for a year and a few days. we met on discord and grew close in a short amount of time. they were 16, i was 14. theyre 18 and im 16 now. so its been almost 2 years, its been 2 years since we met though. the relationship was good as far as i knew but now as ive grown i realize even if the age gap isnt big, thats 2 different maturities. they were hypersexual, i was asexual. the pressure made me graysexual and im also now hypersexual(in a way). i felt bad for saying no, which made me what others see as a shy partner who relies on their s/o to function. i felt bad that i didnt rely on them to exist, as if theyd get mad at me for not needing them to breath. and i think i was right too. even if they think now ‘no i wouldnt of’, i know that that would upset them. because in a way, a twisted way, thats upsetting to someone who wants to be your whole world. they want you to only need them. theyve probably changed. i hope theyve changed. 

but someone stalked their tellonym the other day to see the answer to the tell they sent and they found something else, im quoting so i dont fuck it up,  “whats your opinion on a partner that is being shy?”                                        “it’s whatever but i can’t stand overly shy partners like i’m not going to do everything for you. my ex was like that and it drove me fucking insane”              i want to scream and yell that ‘you did this, this is your fault, it was and still is a problem you created’ but ive grown too. we’ve grown. but i want to talk about how youre wrong, K. how wrong you are. you got upset when i told you no, when i wasnt ready to fuck, when i had issues sleeping, when i hung out with anyone, when my constant attention wasnt on you. you probably dont remember it like that, and thats ok but it wont change my memory in any way. you can shit talk me and i know you have about things you shouldnt. you can get angry over this. i hope you do in a healthy way and right now some of us disagree with me hoping that. back to the topic at hand, though, i felt like you would hurt me if i didnt get your permission or do something you didnt like. maybe thats why i got called co dependent. and i dont mean physically, that youd hurt me like that, i meant mentally. i wouldve dont the physical part. i know i wouldve. i know all of us wouldve. an unspoken part of our brain thought if we didnt then we didnt love you. i remember one time, i was up past 12. you woke up and saw. you got upset, made me feel like the worst person because i wasnt asleep. i went into another room and hyperventilated, having one of the worst panic attacks ive ever had. thankfull i was too distraught to search for anything harmful, and the house was small(we all slept in the living room, the other 3 rooms were in shambles(kitchen worked a little)) so searching for stuff was noisy already. and i knew if i relapsed you would make it about you. which is another thing. i dont think you ever realized it. i could never bring it up either for that reason. i didnt like talking to you about my issues because id just end the topic feeling worse than i started, but this time id also feel like i hurt you. and since you didnt like me talking to other people, and when i was i had to tell you, i just never said anything. and when id have doubts about our relationship, like i felt like you didnt love me/i didnt know how to handle something with you/you did something i didnt like/i noticed a red flag/you think im cheating, i didnt have anyone to talk to. i think i didnt break up with you because i never vocalized my doubts too. i did ask my friends during our half ass break if i seemed like a cheater, if i was like one, if i had tendencies of one. ive been cheated on before and i personally dont think im like one at all but others insight helps a lot! they said no, though, but part of me is still scared they lied. it doesnt matter much anymore though. anyway. to continue on your wrongdoings of a sort, you also accused me of cheating many times within the last week or two of our relationship because i 1) didnt let you log into my discord, you never told me why you wanted to and i wasnt ready to talk to you about a few things until i saw you(or was supposed to) 2) called you a new petname, i called you a lot of things related to the moon i dont understand why that upset you 3) everyone you talked to about us said i was cheating(ill admit, im still a bit disappointed your mom thought that too.). i cant think of anything else at the moment. but still its all bad, right? i dont know anymore. i still feel like i deserved everything you did to me. but ive been told i dont. that i didnt deserve the sexual pressure and the sexualization, that i deserved a nurturing relationship. but you still helped shape who i am now, mostly for the worst, but i know what not to do now so thats something?

im gonna end this here. its long enough, ill continue at a later date if i need to, reblogging is a thing here. i just needed somewhere to say this. theres more to say but god this is long?? enough for now??? and i need to do other things. on a side note, i hope osiris is doing well.

[alicent-hightowers-spouse]

Omg so I know season four was released a while ago but I recently found my reaction notes to the first six episodes. And they’re really funny so I want to share them with you guys lmao.

My notes on Stranger Things

Before I begin:

-Byler no matter what

-Ronance no matter what

-please don’t let any main characters die 😭

-but if someone has to go make it Hopper please

-or at least just please don’t kill Robin or Max or Dustin or Will

-I want an open confession that either Will is gay or that he has a crush on Mike or both

-although I think it would be best if Mike was the one who confessed feelings first

-I already know I’m not prepared for this at all

-Future Cass, how r u feeling?

Edit: I was correct I was not prepared for that at all 😀

Episode One:

-THERES A WARNING IN THE DESCRIPTION?!

-Oh s*** I forgot this all happened the same day as Risk and Strikeback

-Also NATHALIE. ABOUT F***ING TIME YOU SAID IT. gOOD ON YOU FOR FINALLY REALIZING HE AINT WORTH IT

__________________________________________________________

Overall, it was a good episode. I was worried with the time travel, but I would say this episode handled it the best. Alix and Chat noir got a lot of shine, and the episode ACTUALLY REMEMBERS the consequences of multiple miraculous use. Good to know

I give this an 9 out of 10

I think there could have been more, but Alix really got a lot of development and I know we wont see her for some time which does stink. But hey, It has a lot of good and I think the pacing was decent.

[ourflagmeansdebt]

As much as i love Stede i think there is one aspect that not many people are talking about. I think Stede has a pretty awful habit of just sort of walking out on his loved ones without saying anything.

Like for instance, with Mary and his kids, he left in the middle of the night. He waited for Mary to fall asleep, was already dressed, packed and ready to leave. Leaving a spouse, you don't love and who obviously has resentment for you is one thing. Leaving your kids is completely different...

His kids are pretty young. Even if they seem to not get along that well with Stede, we still see him playing and them enjoying time with him. So I can imagine it probably hurt his kids more than anyone when he just up and left. I know for a fact this hurts because this is something I've personally experienced. I have had a rocky relationship with my dad. He out of the blue up and left to go live in another country for a while and it hurt. Still does years after the fact. Imagne how they feel. Your mother pretends/thinks he's dead, you have to play along. And then he just shows up again. It would be confusing and painful to process. We see in the show that his daughter is hurt and angry. rightfully so. There is the exchange of the pertified orange. The symbolizim by cutting it in half etc. But that isnt enough. The only justification for Stede leaving his daughter gives is that it made their mum much happier. She doesnt talk about her own feelings. Dealing with the prospect of your dad leaving (presumably forever) would suck.

Then later, Stede does almost the same thing to Ed. Stede doesn't even consider communicating with him, telling him that he needs to settle some things first. Right after the kiss and talk on the beach, we can see that Stede already has some hesitancy. He had multiple opportunities to actually talk to Ed. On the beach, in the barracks, he could have gone to the pier first etc. I'm sure Ed would have sympathized and been willing to give Stede some time. It's the man he loves. Being with Stede is worth that. But Stede doesn't. He leaves yet again.

Stede needs to learn that these actions have consequences. That They hurt people. He saw that when he went back to Mary and his kids. Now he needs to learn that with Ed.

I really hope in Season 2 they show that Stede has learnt that and that he can grow even more. And I hope they don't just act like his kids don't exist. I hope he writes them letters or sends them trinkets from his adventures. Keeps any kind of contact because they know he's not dead. Anyone with daddy issues or who has dealt with abandonment would value that. And I'm sure we will see the progression and result of Stede's actions with Ed. I hope we see a better Stede.
