PAIRING ! george weasley x f!reader

IN WHICH you spend xmas morning with your beloved or in ron’s words accidentally traumatizing him forever

how odd. the common room felt unusually cold despite the warmth flickering from the fireplace. it made you feel alone, a sentiment you've always felt during the holidays. but something about this year felt different.

maybe it's because of the comfort that tightly clung onto you.

"georgie.. baby.." you murmured.

a small hum escaped the giant redhead. despite that, he remained still. with no intention of letting you go. if possible, it seemed that he snuggled even closer to you.

you giggle at his clingy antics. "baby you have to let me go."

"mhmph no," george dismissed.

you knew you have to find a way to make him let you go before the students start rushing down.

"georgie we can't be found like this."

"and why is that love? you ashamed of me?" he frowned.

godric did he look absolutely adorable with his tiny pout. you gently ran your fingers through his bright red locks. noticing how george unconsciously leans into your touch.

"it's not that baby. you know that i love you, but do you really want to be teased this early? on christmas day?"

his brows furrowed as if he's contemplating his options. "i don’t mind if–"

aaaack!

a shriek from behind pulled your attention away from your lover. you couldn't help but laugh at ron’s disgusted face. "seriously?! this early in the morning?!" he groaned, shielding his eyes as if he walked in on an inappropriate scene.

"my apologies ron," you utter.

you eventually see harry and hermione come down the stairs and stand behind ron. hermione asks why ron is standing there looking like an idiot, something which he grumbles about. they were quick to check the tree and go through their presents.

"yn! look mom got you something!" ron cheered.

"and nothing for you george," he taunted, sticking his tongue out at him.

much to george's dismay, you untangle your limbs and walk towards his younger brother. "how sweet of mrs. weasley!" happily receiving the gift. it's been a while since you've received a gift given out of love. you carefully unwrap the gift, anticipating what lies beneath all the wrapping.

you soften spotting a matching set of pajamas. it's the perfect size for you and george. tears well up in your eyes as you gaze at the pjs in your hands. george, who has been watching you with pure adoration, notices how silent you've become.

"love?" he calls out.

slowly, you stood up and made your way towards george. burying your face at the crook of his neck, feeling safe enough to let out quiet sobs. george instinctively wraps his arms around you. he holds you close, muttering 'i love you's and assurance.

after a few minutes of simply basking in his embrace, you pull back to admire his features. you bring your hand up to brush along his freckled dusted cheeks. leaning in for a quick kiss that left him chasing after your lips.

"let's change into these, stay in, and cuddle all day. how's that sound?" you offer.

a lopsided grin made its way onto his face. he pulls you up and catches you off guard when he carries you bridal style. you were both a giggling fit as you made your way up to his dorm.

one thing was for certain, this year was definitely the best holidays you've had so far.

bonus:

harry speaks up once you've left, "it's like they're in their own little world."

"it's disgusting really," ron gagged.

hermione was quick to hit him. "they're adorable! you just won’t know a thing about romance. i bet you can’t even woo a girl."

ron frowns and quickly defends himself, saying how he did manage to go on a date once! which hermione ignores, her attention on the wonderful quill mrs. weasley gifted her.

[thevibraniumveterans]

I found this rather fun and lighthearted, so here are some (spoilery!) thoughts I have on it.

1. One cool feature is how cartoon animation was utilized to tell flashbacks. That’s really creative.

2. I never expected Cosmo to sound so young 😅 Sounded like a 10-12 year old human. Cosmo is cute, though 😊

3. When I first saw this scene I was like WAIT HOLD ON, they filmed Iron Man 3 there! Which in hindsight is also very cool because Iron Man 3 is also a kind of Xmas movie, if you squint a bit.

4. ‘Eternals’ tells us Kingo loves to act, and ‘Ms Marvel’ tells us that he’s been around long enough to play intergenerational versions of himself, but this takes it to a whole new level 😂

5. I love how Mantis was like “hey we don’t just take people’s stuff” but does just that anyway 😂👍🏼

6. The very first thing that came to mind when I saw this scene in which Kevin Bacon jumps into a tree and slides down it, was this one scene from one of Jackie Chan’s earlier films, “Police Story” (1985), where he jumped off a balcony in a shopping center and slid down a pole to run away, crashing through a bunch of lights on the way down. This stunt nearly killed him, as he had no safety wires, no safety net, nothing. The pole was heated because of the lights, and he walked (ran) away with second-degree burns on his hands. Look it up though, it’s insane- put “Jackie Chan police story stunt lights” into Google and watch the first video that pops up.

7. I just thought this was funny, is all.

8. THIS FREAKING PAYOFF 😂 In Infinity War, Rocket was like “How much for the gun?” Bucky’s like, “It’s not for sale.” Rocket shoots back, “Okay, then how much for the arm?” And Bucky just, “😒”, and Rocket says, “Oh, I’ll get that arm”, which makes this scene an ABSOLUTELY DELIGHT 🤣

9. Again, I love the animation style used here.

10. The post-credits scene where Rocket breaks the fourth wall 😅👍🏼

[fortune-maiden]

I am late to the party as always, but here~! Take these for the Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask if you haven't already received them: 🥺 🤡 🎃 ✨

Thank you <333

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

Sometimes my fics have Nie Mingjue cry and NHS has to comfort him.

I like those fics :)

🤡 What’s a line, scene, or exchange you’ve written that made you laugh?

I was rereading one of my older exchange fics the other day and found this exchange that made me smile :D

“Why is there a tree in here?” Mizuki demanded. “And what’s with all this stuff? Did you rob a crafts store?” “No.” Date ignored the suspicious sounding scoff from Aiba. “I bought this. With money.” “Duh.”

Just really love that dry deadpan snark xD (I can hear the voice actors say these lines)

🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?

I do not, but I have 2 that are holiday themed and both of them are among my personal faces

Common Ground - an AI: The Somnium Files fic. The above dialogue snippet is actually from this fic. In which amnesiac legal guardian of the year realizes he forgot to celebrate Xmas with his ward and decides to fix that.

The 2nd Annual Kurotama Christmas Party - my other holiday fic, also Xmas themed haha. In which the boueibu cast gathers for a holiday party, featuring a convoluted gift exchange and an alien mistletoe :D

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

Your writing really isn't as bad as you think! The dialogue is funny sometimes and the characterizations are good!

❗ OT3 content ❗  DiaMamMoin

Fluff Xmas fic gift from kaeaea_ko (from Twitter). Thank you so much for the wonderful story for them!  Added some drawings just to see how cute they all look together.

A peal of laughter rang down the corridor and into Diavolo’s office where he remained attending to all the perpetual duties that came with his position. Barbatos, positioned across the room and attending to his own tasks, did not even look up at the sound - but Diavolo paused and looked longingly at the closed wooden door, somewhat akin to a fornlorn puppy.

He’d long since opened his home for Moin to come and go as they pleased even before they were engaged, and then later down the line that offer had extended to Mammon too while in Moin’s company; while Diavolo could not empathize with the notion of having his loved ones around too much, he was sympathetic to the fact that Mammon was often on the receiving end of his brother’s over-eager... ‘teasing’. So had opened his castle and home to Avatar of Greed, more importantly - the dearest friend of his beloved. Barbatos still kept a keen eye on all the castle’s contents, of course...

Another outburst of jubilance, further yet from the studious pair, and the Demon Prince refocused on his work with a long sigh. The two visitors were generally very conscientious and rarely disrupted anything; but how could he begrudge interruptions like this? Moin and Mammon’s friendship seemed to bloom forth in a steadfast, wholesome joy. Diavolo remained quietly envious, a secret lament that he held deep within the recess of his heart. He’d never tell a lie - but there were some truths that would never spill free. And that playful, unburdened loyalty that Diavolo couldn’t hope to duplicate, forever conscious of all his duties and responsibilities at play.

More than once early on the demon had thought that it would be kinder to ‘let Moin go’ - free from his love, and an inevitably somewhat trammeled future. But at the root of it all, he was a demon,  and all demons coveted. Moin was his greatest light in a land untouched by the natural sun. He believed that he would let her go should the fates ever be as cruel as to turn her heart cold towards him - but while she did he would be holding onto them with all he had. That compulsion drove him to provide Moin with all that made her happy.

A cleared throat and Barbatos’ mild amused look pulled him back to the moment - refocusing on work indeed.

“Young master, are you quite well?"

Amusement bled into the butler’s tone too, and Diavolo huffed good-naturedly. “Oh fine, fine. I have reports burned into my retinas, but otherwise fine.”

“Hm. Perhaps a break is in order the? It would only be proper for you to go and greet your guests also, no matter how often they are here."

An unexpected encouragement that did not need to be expressed twice, and far exceeded the appeal of attempting an escape from his work via the balcony. Diavolo put his work down (or rather dropped it in a manner that had Barbatos straightening things in exasperation), followed the sounds, and found himself tat the top point of the staircase, looking down at the scene below. He did not announce his presence; acquisitive of the seconds he was merely a witness to. He’d go as far as to call the sight salubrious, mood and exuberance lifted by even this.

The foyer was adorned in Christmas decorations - another human tradition Diavolo wholeheartedly adored - and the heart of the display was the enormous tree decked with baubles, lights and tinsel, the latter being the apparent source of amusement. Mammon had pulled a rope of gold tassels from the tree and had wrapped it around himself, posturing and preening at Moin who sat on the large velvet couch, clapping and encouraging him. Despite the obvious and foolishness of the action Mammon still held himself in just a way, truly it was no wonder he found such success in modelling.

Unable to resist any longer he started down the stairs and called, “is this a new signature look, Mammon?”

Mammon’s face paled and he scrambled to return the tinsel to the tree, resulting in more of a clump of gold near the bottom than any semblance of order, and Diavolo was content to let him scramble while he and Moin shared amused looks. That smile he loved so much sent his way, his own wide one returned in kind. It would probably be quite the sweet moment were it not broken by what could best be described as a squawk.

“Hey Dia UH I mean Lord Diavolo! Just uhh, checking you had ya decorations on right! Looks erm...” Mammon seemed to trail off as he reached behind himself and awkwardly patted the tree, “yep all looks fine. Ya welcome!"

Diavolo shook his head fondly and descended the last of the steps. He stopped beside Moin and pressed a kiss into their hair at the crown of their head, leaving his large hand resting on a delicate shoulder.

“Oh? It looked to me as though you were parading about in the Christmas decorations. Haha, I can see why Lucifer calls you his cutest brother.”

Mammon turned a bright red at that comment, puzzling Diavolo slightly; was he still so sensitive to compliments? He didn’t pay it any more mind however as Moin was turning her face up towards him, sweet voice plying his attention with only a breath of his name. Without a thought he leaned down to press his lips against her pliant ones that opened against his with a gasp. Too quickly Diavolo pulled back, his own cheeks dusted in red. They were no strangers to intimacy in this home yet typically not so blatantly in front of company. He couldn’t say he was sorry, because that would be a lie. “That was inappropriate,” was verbalized instead, “I apologize.”

Moin laughed softly, glancing up, and Diavolo looked too; there above them hung a lush sprig of mistletoe, somehow in the perfect location.

“I’d better not be caught under there with anyone!!”

Diavolo could not help but laugh at Mammon’s indignant tone, his own contrite expression disappearing in his mirth. He looked at the younger demon again, and for reasons he could not hope to decipher he asked, “what if you were caught under it with Moin?”

For a moment the question hung suspended in silence. Diavolo could feel Moin’s eyes locked on him, yet he kept his own impassive gaze on Mammon. Motive aside, Diavolo could soundly say it was not impulsive. He’d seen how Mammon looked at Moin. It wasn’t anything Diavolo could hold against him; the Avatar of Greed seemed to go against his nature and remain content with Moin’s friendship, and Diavolo found himself wholly trusting of both of them and the bounds of their loyalty. And yet. Mammon looked at Moin with a consuming longing at times, and she seemed entirely oblivious of it.

There was even the chance that Diavolo was simply projecting - the notion of another being in love with Moin was entirely believable, they were, in Diavolo’s opinion, the perfect partner. Who would not yearn for that? Any potential feelings that Moin may have for Mammon outside of the realms of friendship the Demon Prince could not lay any claim to knowing, but he did know how happy the two made each other. Mammon was already such a fixture in their lives, and as surely as the lineage of Demon King flowed through his veins, Diavolo knew if there was any potential to increase her happiness, he would gift it to her without reservation. Diavolo was not immune to possessiveness; somehow this sudden errant thought did not incite that consummation.

Mammon was steadily paling again, terror building in his eyes - ahh, perhaps he had taken that comment as a threat? Quickly to rectify, Diavolo smiled wide, eyes crinkling into half-moons. “I wouldn’t mind. If it were you. If Moin wanted to.”

Another long pause; pregnant with anticipation and not a small amount of shock.

“W-what? I don’t wanna- I mean, Moin wouldn’t- what??”

“Hmm. Well I would never push anything of course. I know you two are beyond dear to each other. I hold you rather fondly too, Mammon, after all this time.”

It would seem his company were speechless. Why was he going down this road? He was more than content, more than happy in his relationship with Moin. What compulsion was this, to maintain this terse moment instead of breaking it with a joke, or an alternative comment-

“Moin. You are very quiet down there.” Attention turned solely back to his love, Diavolo let the silence draw out, no filling it this time.

“Maybe?”

“Maybe...?” Diavolo prompted back.

“Maybe I would like it?”

Moin and Mammon were both blushing to the roots, and Diavolo thought he almost deserved a medal for maintaining his own gentle but rather bland expression. Perhaps more of a prompt was needed.

Gesturing Mammon over, and who could deny the Demon Prince’s summons. The other demon stepped forward until his knees bumped against the couch, making him stumble forward and catch himself on the armrest and back, effectively trapping Moin against it, Diavolo himself still at her side. A squeak came from one of them, unclear whom, but Moin’s attention was ensnared by Mammon and Mammon’s by them, leaning towards each other like a timid gravity pulled between them. Barely a brush of lips, shy and fumbling, noses bumping - Diavolo knew that standing by and watching would not be easing this development in any way, yet if this were to come into being, he would need to be there, even if just a witness. Such a delicate thing, and Moin his to protect. No one could hurt you like the ones you loved, and Moin loved Mammon so very much. All that potential for heartbreak, all the more for undicovered happiness.

When no comment from himself interrupted, Mammon pushed forward again. His hands were gripping at the couch and Diavolo felt he could excuse the claws that he could see tearing into the fabric; amused and impressed that Mammon was so steadfastly holding himself back from holding Moin as he kissed them.

Soon, two quick breaths pulsed in the room. The mood hung charged and fragile. Diavolo winced apologetically when his DDD started ringing, Lucifer’s name flashing on the screen. A quick conversation with the other insisting on Mammon’s return to home, and he ended the call. Moin and Mammon were still pink, uncharacteristically silent, and staring at anything but each other. Diavolo felt as though his heart would burst from all the fondness he felt.

“Ah Mammon, unfortunately... Lucifer has called you back to the House. You’d best be on your way in a hurry.”

Mammon stammered his acknowledgement, Moin jumping to her feet too, with an aborted movement to hug the other demon before simply grabbing her hands together tightly instead.

“Oh and Mammon?” Diavolo called as Mammon was halfway out the door, “Moin and I are having a Christmas Eve dinner together tomorrow. Please join us?”

A quick nod, a slammed door, and Moin and Diavolo were left alone in the foyer. Softly and gently, Diavolo pulled Moin into his arms and pressed kisses atop her head, over and over. Her arms gripped him back tightly. Reassurance at this point was necessary, explanation could come later when they had worked through the moment. “Anything for your happiness, Moin. If either of you don’t want that, it will never be mentioned again. If you do want this, the door is open. You have my blessing; I know I hold your heart and I have no fear of losing it. But you deserve all the love you crave. I do love you so. Anything, anything, for your happiness.

... And you both do look so adorable with rose blushed cheeks.”

Just watched the GoTG Holiday Special and... OMG it's awesome!! Gunn, you absolute beauty! I adore him and I adore the Guardians.

Spoilers ahead.

Gunn has such a great handle on these characters, watching this left me wanting more and now I can't freaking wait for Vol 3!

Mantis jumping like an insect! I didn't know I needed this until now, loved it. Also, what's with Mantis getting so happy about Steve? 😂

She sees the guy dressed as Steve and goes running to him saying "Steeeeeeeeeeve!!", what's with that? lol Yeah, we love him too, Mantis, calm down lmao

Nebula dancing? Hell yeah. She's healing now that she's away from that monster and she's surrounded by people who treat her well, can't wait to see more of her in Vol 3. And... she got Bucky's arm for Rocket!!

I won't even ask how 😂😂

I loved Quill being the reasonable one and calling them out for kidnapping Kevin Bacon. Really can't express this enough, I so want to see a Quill that's more serious and mature. If this is what we're going to have in Vol 3 then fuck yeah I'm gonna love it.

Yondu trying to protect Quill by telling him sentiment will make him weak and the universe will eat him for it, but in the end Yondu is the most sentimental of all. It's like that scene he has with Rocket in Vol 2.

Also, Mantis fighting! Damn, she's got a few good moves, I want more of that. She was the highlight really, gotta love it when she uses her power to make that woman give her all her money lol Way to go, Mantis, that's not morally reprehensible at all 😂😂

And the scene where Kevin Bacon gets service on his phone and Kraglin gives some half-assed explanation has got to be one of the best in the special. I could almost hear Gunn say "yeah whatever, he has service, who the fuck cares why" 😂

And Groot as a Xmas tree!!

All the moments shared by the characters are genuine, they're sincere. It's a mix of jokes, comedy and emotion. I went from laughing to shedding tears in a matter of seconds.

I think one of the things that really puts Gunn above other directors who have tried to bring comedy to their movies and failed miserably is that the Guardians' installments have so much heart and they're not afraid of showing it.

The scene where Mantis finally confesses that she's Quill's sister is not undermined by any joke or anything that takes away from her words (and tears). Quill says that reveal is the greatest Xmas gift he could possibly have and they hug each other, that scene is allowed to be emotional and sincere and meaningful.

That's what Gunn does so well and what sets him apart.

Now gimme Vol 3!!

Wally anon: And he just can't help himself when he does anyway, cause like you said, he already shoots so. much from everything you do to him, how you feel, how you taste, etc. 💦

Oh 100%. There is no. limit to all the ridiculous rolelay scenarios if you're both ghosts cause you literally have all the time to explore any possibilities. But, huh, had not considered the farmer possibility. What would all of that entail? 👀 Kinda funny that you say that cause I had thought of him dressing as a literal classic sheet ghost with holes for his eyes & dick dkfhd. 🫣

Suchhhhh a weird double standard to constantly be exposed to now, especially when it comes from people who sit up & act like they're fighting for rights when it's like...is sex & healthy discussions/exposure to sex not also a right? 🙃 It's like when there was such. a big fuss about RWARB's sex scenes when those were hardly explicit like fjfdj maybe y'all are the problem! 😶 (I know, though. That whole scene was just done as fan service cause the original fake trailer. There was no reason for those 2 to be involved/die otherwise.) Yuppp. You get it. I want to follow a group of characters who I can grow attached to as they gradually die one-by-one until one or a select few make it out alive. So simple. 💀 Will probably get around to watching it later today. 👍 As long as the gays are viewed as t O o S e X u A l (which inherently igores how. often every.single.person. has seen plenty of straight sex in media) it'll never be in the cards for us. Hypocrisy through & through. 💔  But from the way you make Ben sound, I'm sure I'll love him (& feel similarly about him & his coworker 🤭). Gotcha gotcha @ the Zed & Wally comparisons. Will trust what you have to say, even if you don't have a 100% memory of everything. You still have the experience with both. 👍 (fhsjd yessss. We already know how. big Wally is, but the veins make Zed formidable on his own, even if he's slightly smaller. I can't speak to how. Zed would fuck. Something tells it would particularly unique cause the ~zombificaton~ of it all. But we already knowwww Wally can do it in all various types of ways, with a preference for being relentless & rough in situations like this cause, as it is with everything else for him, the threesome is a competition for him to see who's fucking you better. 🫣)

Appreciate the cultural awareness 👍 but I do live in America kdhdhsk. But, yeah, lots. of guys complained about it (uncharacteristically) not being one of the school sports, but I can't say it was a major loss. 👀

And he doesn't actually leave any evidence behind (as we. very well know), so you have to keep coming back for (the feeling of him filling you up) research, but never come (cum?) away with anything conclusive except explosive orgasms & an intimate awareness of Wally's disembodied body. 🤫

Bobby fr didn't know who he was messing with. Ryan had an insane amount of self-control to not lash out more than he does in the movie. 🥴 I could probably give you some recommendations if you'd like. ❤️ Just let me know what all Xmas/NYE horror you've seen. 👀 When do your classes start back? (Yeah, the PG-13 I go back & forth on cause HELLO! slashers, but it's one of the few times I think a PG-13 rating hasn't. negatively impacted a slasher cause Tree is THAT. bitch & goes through it fr) Hmm hmm, yeah, like something relating to his injury & how his dad was putting a lot. onto him to go pro because the business is struggling & money from going pro would've helped the family. I can see the vision. 🧐

(dkhdvd you falling back asleep. musta been tired as hell 😭) omggg thank you. 🥰 I do what I can to think up what I feel would offer up the most potential. Very happy to keep sending more in. I have no idea how many you've gotten in the past for Wally or otherwise, but it helps with us bouncing off of each other so much. ❤️❤️❤️ (Yuppp, you got what I was going for there. I feel there's a lot more that could be explored there, but it's the one that really. hit me.)

And you know those times he just lovessss teasing you by going as agonizingly slow as possible with the thrusting. Filling you completely. up in the most patient manner & then slipping it s l o w l y back out until he has you begging for the roughest pounding of your life. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

(also, ooh, I see you've changed your layout for Milo 🙌 and yes, I absolutely see the vision of ugly holiday clothing ☃️)

yesss ugh verse/sub Wally ftw because just…🫣

Sheet ghost would be hot, he tries to be scary but you know that under that big bundle of linens is him🫣 (though the only thing scary is that big dick sticking out from that) Farmer/city boy was just something my mind went to cause I went to a very farm country school, so it seemed fitting. Plus Milo posted multiple times in a cowboy hat/farmer attire (WAIT THAT ONE PICTURE OF HIM ON STAGE DOING THE DANCE SHIRTLESS WITH A COWBOY HAT AND BANDANA ON omg google it it’s so🤭) <- but Wally dressing up like that and you being a newer ghost with all your tech and if the school had a barn like mine did something could go down in there on the bales of hay sksjsjsj

Yes!! There was some ass shown but it wasn’t even during a sex scene so idk what people are getting made about at RWRB😭 are they mad that there’s like a scene when Alex puts it in and Henry’s like “😮‍💨 woah”?? Because trust me, that’s not the worst thing to grace screens. It’s crazy to me how they can have literal scenes like in Euphoria with Kat and that old guy with a micropenis but it got so much less fanfare because it’s hetero. Crazy. (Big on the “too sexual” thing for gays when it’s proven that being gay is more than the sex. Is it awesome and amazing? Yesssss but is it needed to have a queer relationship? No!!!!) Yes ugh Ben needs some rep because i’ve seen like two edits of him since the movie came out and no fics. At all. Criminal. Oh em gee sex with Zed would go crazy. He’d literally be feral (because Zombies aren’t really “decaying” in this universe, they operate more like rabid humans in the sense that they become extremely violent when not wearing these bracelets that administer low-volt electric shocks to their brain to prevent the violent synapses from firing. it’s a whole lore thing.) But I can imagine that taking that band off or “breaking” it during football practice would cause him to fuck like a beast. You’re so right about Wally being able to keep up, because he’s got that ghost stamina that never fades🫡 and you’re not complaining if two big dicked men are going ruthlessly at your ass (or maybe begging to ride you if they’re feeling subby) because it’s just more for you.

Yeah i know not every school in the US has it either sksjsk, I just didn’t want to assume that you automatically lived in America by knowing what football is LMAO

Exactlyyyy. he may not leave any impact on you physically, but mentally, you know inch of him so well you could trace it with your tongue

I would’ve loved to see him get physical with Bobby because🫣😮‍💨 fighting for his relationship, not Bobby’s. Gotta love a man with self control like that🫡 (and he has it in more ways than one) Classes start back up on the 8th of January! Still have a ways to go until then so I’m free to watch at least a few movies. (yes!! so many movies rely on gore and some use it well (the end of the first jeepers creepers, darry my beloved😭) and tree makes it through both movies with just a little gore after each death.

yeah i was actually trying to play a horror game last night to get in the mood but i ended up falling asleep while playing it dawg i was tired😭 I got one request for Wally and Zed respectively but they were both fem!reader requests (they didn’t read my bio huh) Keep sending them in and we can explore them together fr🫣😮‍💨🫡

i know he teases so much with his tip, running it along and smacking your ass with his dick until he finally puts it in after teasing you, only to go so slow you want to force him to bottom out it you🫣

Yesss ugh🫣 Wally wearing one with a Menorah printed on the front and the branches evenly split on each side are covering his thighs and it converges in the middle with the middle one being all distorted by his dick- uh yeah festive boxers for the win. bonus points if there’s something printed over the ass side that’s too distorted to read because of how much he’s stretching the fabric. and it’s gotta be blue and white (with some cum stains and tears eventually )

[finnglas]

It is the first week of November, which means the Xmas tree is going up, and the cats are SO. EXCITED. They love the tree so much. They've never tried to climb it or knock it over, and with the exception of one jingle bell on the bottom branch that's placed there specifically for Luna to ring, they don't even try to play with the ornaments. But hoooooboy do they love to sit underneath it, like it's a giant, gently twinkling cat bed.

They came running when Kellie got the box out of the closet, and now they're both sitting with me just...watching the lights go up. <3

Also, as a point, my annual tagging system for those of you who want to block things/not see holiday things!

I am ex-Christian, and was never allowed to participate in "secular" Xmas, so now I go a little overboard.

xmas for ts - This will be non-religious Xmas stuff: Santa, Rudolph, presents, etc. etc.

winter cheer - This is non-holiday-specific wintry stuff: fairy lights, snow, hot cocoa, etc.

Christmas for ts - Probably my least-used tag, this is for religious Christmas stuff: religious carol lyrics, Bible verses, Nativity scenes, anything referencing the birth of Christ, etc.

All other holidays are just tagged as their holiday name, but it's anybody's guess which spelling of Hanukkah/Chanukah I'm going to use at any given time.

[matan4il]

Good morning Alice!! Happy Hanukkah! I hope you are having a lovely holiday and a break from work? Do you guys put up a Christmas tree? I don't know if you watch The Goldbergs, but their Hanukkah episodes were always great, especially this last one.

I feel bad because I think I am one of the few that doesn't believe Buck will be in a coma or, honestly, even injured. But.. I do believe that when the next scare/injury does occur, it will be him. For various reasons but the main one was his initial problem was he felt like his life was stale. I picture him more going on a road trip or going home to visit Daniel's grave. We never got resolution really about that.

And in Eddie begins, we got the helicopter crash, his breakdown was when he realized they all had died. Buck Begins was the introduction of how Conor got him to LA but also the reason he was born. I just feel like we will have a pattern

In addition, I don't know if Eddie will be part of the journey, but I do believe he will be part of the resolution. Mostly because again patterns. Now we do need to see Eddie maybe date to see what he really needs in a partner. AKA Bucks journey last season. Again though it all serves the purpose to bring them together.

And now, just for fun, indulge me. I don't think this will happen, but can you imagine. While Buck is confronting his past. He runs into an old boyfriend and his husband! Bi Buck confirmed. At the same time, Chim is asking Eddie about his date. He's like she wasn't my type, I mean, women in general aren't my type anymore." Said all bashful like. Queer Eddie confirmed!! Then the finale is Eddie shyly being like Hey Buck want to go to dinner Friday night . Correcting Buck, he means just them and Buck a blushing yes, but the alarm rings, and at the scene, that's when Buck gets hurt . 2 cliffhangers for the price of one. I know it won't happen, but I can dream, lol.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday!!!! Stat safe!

Hi darling! Good morning to you! And thank you so much for the Hanukkah wishes! ^u^ But Hanukkah is actually the busiest time of the year at my job, so no rest for this shipper. And as you could probably figure out by now, we don't do anything related to Xmas. Thank you for the rec regarding The Goldbergs! I wasn't really familiar with this show. Should I watch it? Is it about a Jewish family? (it sounds like it, but one never knows for sure...)

You have nothing to feel bad about! Neither an injury, nor a coma are a certainty, and everyone's guess is equally as valid. TBH, having Buck resolve some things without an injury would be refreshing. But we are watching a firefighters show (with an added bit of police), so having injuries is a bit more "routine" than on other shows. So yeah, I do think the next serious injury would be Buck just in terms of how long it's been since his last one (we saw Hen and Chim in the hospital during 517, Bobby was in it during 414 and 516, Eddie had a whole arc that started with being shot in 413, but Buck has been free of serious injury since 303), and in giving it greater meaning, it makes sense to employ that injury precisely when he goes through a crisis around the sperm donor thing. But they def could surprise us all and give us a more original way for Buck to realize some stuff and get closure when it comes to the things he learned about Daniel and his parents in 405. I would welcome that!

I always try not to get too invested in any speculation, but either way, I def agree that Eddie is likely to be a part of the resolution. It is the natural parallel, but also, it very much feels like that's what they're building towards with the Buddie distance in 6a, and especially with moments like Eddie being annoyed and hanging up on the group call in 609 without ever talking on screen to Buck about what's going on...

LOL I do love that scenario, thank you for sharing it! XD A double cliffhanger would be some amazing angst. I think it is possible once 911 gets them to the point where there is nothing else standing in their way, so we finally have a moment where it seems like it all may be mutual and slotting into place, only for a physical danger to tear them apart... But TBH, our show so far has made it clear that it's less interested in this type of cliffhanger, so... we'll see. Everything is wait an dsee at this point.

Thank you for the ask! I hope you're safe as well, that you had a lovely holiday and will have a very happy new year! As always, here is my ask tag. xoxox

Character asks for Wyatt Wingfoot? 👀💖

13. Your favorite friendship they have, 20. A weird headcanon, 25. When do you think they acted the most ooc

13. Fave friendship: Hmmmm is it a cop-out to say Johnny? TBH Wyatt's only shown with like. Two friends. Which is Jen and Johnny—and I like both of those friendships a lot lol. He did babysit with Alicia a couple of times which seems like it could be a really fun dynamic but it was pretty brief and never explored or anything like that.

WAIT I LIED I FORGOT ABOUT BECKY I love Becky, she and Wyatt are very fun. love calm sedate wyatt and his firecracker bff with two (2) appearances ever (wiki says she has more but tbh i really don't believe that the random lady in the background of a kind of bad xmas comic published before we actually met her was becky??? lol??)

20. Weird headcanon: That the reason he was so sleepy when the gang went on a field trip to Wakanda (in his like... second appearance) was because he pulled an all-nighter studying lol

idk if that's "weird" but 😂

oh i guess i have a somewhat odd family tree setup for fic purposes but that's because his family is kind of... well, it reads to me as though claremont... maybe made up new names for existing characters (and got father vs grandfather wrong while he was at it) (except they're both dead) thus bringing into existence wynona and her father, black eagle. (not sure why wiki says will wingfoot is her dad cause i'm pretty sure he's not...? unless i am SORELY misremembering the two entire issues she's been in)

so my possibly weird family tree headcanon is that black eagle is will wingfoot's older brother and that after will died (but before she died) wyatt's mother either remarried or just got together with black eagle (thinking like, oh supporting her and helping her with the kids after his brother/her husband died ~> romance) and they had wynona. making wyatt and rain half-siblings to wynona. i guess that's more of a wynona wingfoot headcanon though. but like.

you know. i'm basically making that up because i'm 90% sure black eagle and wynona were meant to be silent fox and rain falling west.

i mean it's entirely possible giving wyatt a new sister (and uncle) we'd never met before was on purpose and not because claremont just couldn't be bothered to look up rain or silent fox's names or the fact that wyatt's parents and grandparents were all dead by 1989, but frankly i don't feel that generous about it lol

(also i'm not sure why wynona's wiki page lists scott lobdell and alan davis as her creators cause i'm fairly certain it was claremont writing f4 in 1999) (i mean. if you go to the issues she's in, it literally lists claremont and larocca as writer and artist)

25. Most OOC: when John Byrne stepped in on writing like, you know what this guy should do? Totally shrug off all his responsibilities for no reason because he thinks a girl he just met is hot! (and killing his grandpa off-panel at the same time for literally no reason—like to be honest the entire thing would have sucked less if grandpa was not killed off and wyatt was just allowed to be a regular struck-with-wanderlust 20 year old instead of being like ~ohhh he has to step in as chief~~ just kidding he's going to new york and abandoning all his responsibilities because he saw a tall green babe) So now he has a weird inconsistent reputation as this irresponsible guy depending on who's writing him, but imo I don't think it's like. that in-character? It's not like Wyatt was super complex by the mid 80s but he still never really struck me as that kind of character personally? especially since he pretty consistently puts others' needs/wants/etc. before his own including in byrne's own writing lol... so like??? For the most part though I think Wyatt is such a straightforward character that most writers get him in the right ballpark—chill, romantic, kind, and thoughtful. Strong sense of justice, very capable, adventurous, etc.

oh wait I just remembered the scene in FF vol 2 where he says he doesn't know how to pronounce a french word. I like his appearance in that comic and his and jen's date was very cute but that line was like???? cause i have read all of his pre-slott appearances and in the 70s? 80s? i forget, he literally was going on double-dates to like... the opera and shit. also I'm pretty sure he has some kind of linguistics (and/or history) degree? (never actually stated but ka-zar: guns of the savage land has some linguistics stuff) and he's definitely been to french restaurants in his life so I'm pretty sure he can pronounce french restaurant food names as well as any other random guy

Magnolia in the Spring

A year that started in pain ends in pain but with a lesson. One I hope can lessen my suffering and maybe that of others.

Beginning with betrayal, grief and heartache I tried to create something with that and opened up the Looking Glass Wellbeing to house my private practice as well as others. I found this year, teaching my to my clients, rather my people, “Know your worth” and ���They need you more than you need them.” Ironically, it came full circle. A hard lesson but one I accept willingly. Being a there is a rare gift, rewarding and meaningful in more ways than I ever imagined. Therapists get to sit with people and not just hear how others hurt, but we get the best job of instilling hope, making life tolerable, meaning making, discover your purpose in others lives. It’s connecting that saves people. You don’t always need a fancy technique, just show up and care.

Being a therapist is often unpredictable, and one that continues to remind and enrich my life. It is a job that reinforces lessons I am also practicing for myself. I often feel a deep sense of am interconnectedness with the most unlikely people.

My client completed suicide last month. I discovered this news a few days before Xmas. Silently, upstairs laying in Chloe’s bed. We sat together for 1.5 years weekly. One intimate hour. Wishing. Hoping. Instilling. Crying. Laughing. Grieving . Yelling and sometimes just Sitting together in silence. I used to say I was a walking diary, for people. A Margaret Meade, an observer or perhaps a sensitive editor helping the main character along their journey. I would attempt to find a resolution, help through the life size obstacle course in order to him move forward. I gave it my all when I finally shared a personal anecdote about my sister a struggle wanted him to know he wasn’t alone in and that I tried to validate that pain, “I appreciate that you told me” and “that means a lot to me, it feels lonely sometimes.” I tried to be the sibling I always wanted and the one I was currently grieving over. We laughed together when I said, “hey all I got today is this… take a handful of that mud and do me a favor throw it in (blanks) face!”. We started laughing.

He had such a great sense of humor. But also deep capacity to feel pain and he loved people deeply. It’s lonely but like a movie we referenced often Goodwill Hunting, only Dickens, Shakespeare, Bronte, could seemingly understand when everyone else had failed you.

I am rethinking my role, as the metaphorical therapist diary. Hm, well maybe with him at least. I am a mail carrier. Like the urgent letter that needed delivery in Act 5, scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet. Me, some unknowing messenger holding all of this young man’s goodbyes. I never anticipated to be his confidential goodbye letter.

He was and will be a reminder of a younger me, different but the same. Depression is like a dark shadow that lingers, we spoke about it one session. I clearly remember this hour with him. “What is your favorite season?” I asked.

“Spring.”

Imagine, two idealists clouded with depression. Him the client and me the therapist. This private and personal storm I’ve endured most of my life, one l rarely share that others, but one day I did. The session had started talking about magnolia trees. He had to cut one down; I witnessed one fall. My magnolia was heavy with ice from a recent storm. It’s branches must have survived 150 years, that was the storm that took it out. It was upsetting seeing all of its glorious flowers strewn in a tragic mess on my neighbors front yard. I saw it for a few weeks until they finally hired a tree service. Within minutes, all that beauty could be sucked up and spit back out into meaningless pile of ordinary wood chips. I remember being upset by this tree. So it goes, right? Our session continued after our brief mutually shared “what a bummer” sentiment about the trees. Digging deep that day to l instill hope and said, “ I was pregnant with my daughter,” this was my brighter outlook on Springtime, when my depression lifted. “ The sky is beautiful when it rains in Spring. The lingering shadow is sometimes gloomy, yes I know, but also lovely too. Think about how the shadow helps with contrast, tree blooms look brighter, and the green stands out on the trees! Without the shadow it wouldn’t be as bright.” He lifted his eyebrows and I heard a “hm.”

As a therapist, I don’t know if that was the one reframe that landed strong enough to help him. Maybe it helped him for a moment; he helped me remember that pain can pass, and we can sit in that sorrow together. That isn’t so bad right. It makes it tolerable. The pile of wood chips, not obscure, just undefined.

I continued with my self-disclosure. “I only see Spring like this now since I had my daughter.” My little “green shoot” of hope bloomed after years of trying to conceive. An infertility nightmare. Having my daughter was an end to my nightmare and the beginning of a dream that almost died. I named her Chloe. Almost crying, I said , “I looked up the meaning of her name after she was born,” tears definitely were flowing now down my face,

“ guess what her name means?”

He waited silently for me to continue.

“…greenish- yellow springtime shoot, or ‘bloom’ Greek for fertility.”

Shortly after this, he told me he was going to be a dad to a little girl. He was scared. I told him he’d be a wonderful father. If he didn’t believe me, or hopeless I would have kept trying. But sometimes people just don’t come back in and I never know why.

I remember our last session. He was drained. And something off but ion had experienced a death and blamed myself. So I suggested an additional session if he wanted one. I also mentioned I would be there on a day we anticipated for a year that would be difficult. He thanked me declined it “I’ll let you know if I need it, thanks.”

He canceled his appointment the next week. Which he never did. It was weird of him, he was consistent, told me I was his “safe place”. My instinct said, “call him” I thought “he left no message. It was strange. He answered when I decided to call on my gut instinct. We spoke for our last time. My throat tightened during this call. A sense I’ve developed when clients may quit therapy, want a break. But I asked him anyway “are you feeling suicidal, are you thinking, planing or have any intentions of completing suicide. I have to ask you this!?”

“no Liz, I am ok.”

I cried after call and felt confused as to why. I was “too attached” Maybe or maybe not. What does it matter. Could I have helped him, said or some something different? I am so happy I was able to tell him how much he mattered to me that call. He said “I got to go! I have another call, I have to take this call . I’ll be in touch to reschedule. Ok talk to you later thank you, bye”.

I got a note a few days later in my client app, “I no longer am in need of therapy. I am doing better. Please close my case and terminate this portal.” I thought it was someone else.

I am so happy I gave him a hug for last for the last time in our very last session. I’m so grateful he chose me to carry the his story.

Our first session we talked about comedians. Great ones are always the ones in pain, share it with others, and connect to people they will never meet, who also identify with what hurts. Damn, he was funny.

“I appreciate you, really thank you.” He said to me often. And I will forever be grateful, honor, and always always always appreciate you, and our time spent in session. Every gloomy spring sky, I will think of you, and remember your beauty, humor, pain. I will remember you when I look and see something that fell, isn’t forgotten. It transforms, turns into just another version of what was before, and what will continue, another season.My heart will always hurt because you fell too soon, but thank you for letting me be Your therapist!

I appreciate you.

Your Therapist,

Liz

[gingiesworld]

haii!! how are you doing?? how's life treating you?? i hope you're doing well ms world :D

if i may, could i ask you a couple of things? im just hella curious. maybe you've answered this before, i won't have noticed since i haven't got around to looking through every post of every person i follow on here lol

but yeah, i was just curious to know (and if you're comfortable with answering, but if you don't i won't be offended) about how you got into writing fanfics and what inspired you to? did you ever think of writing about other characters or is your focus just lizzie characters, and scarjo, natasha and maria? like some of the women from twd for example, or maybe some game characters, etc?

i absolutely admire your work, and i strongly encourage you to keep up what you're doing, and definitely don't feel discouraged by what other people might say in reflection to a day/some days worth of hard work. you never know how easily you inspire others by the things you do, no matter how insignificant it may seem

be well now, a fellow follower

Wow, im now going to go by Ms World now. I am doing well, and hope you are too.

I guess I started reading wanda and Lizzie fan fic on wattpad some years ago and i had an idea for a story and decided to write my first Lizzie fic Come Home To Me on wattpad a couple of years ago and I guess I started to love writing as a hobby, even though it has helped me come up with mulitple ideas for an original fic.

Yes I am a Lizzie simp but I have been seeing a lot of FTWD edits on tiktok and I did have a falling out with TWD after Dale died because of a stupid cow!!! And it felt the same to me too but I am thinking of giving it a second chance because of Lauren Cohen who I have loved since her Supernatural days because she was fine as Bella. I have also got a Carol fic in line for the xmas special. But I do want to maybe do a Claire Redfield fic because I can never get over the shower scene from RE Afterlife. I have also thought about maybe doing some fics for Lorelai Gilmore too because she is the OG MILF everyone loves and maybe even Brooke Davis from One Tree Hill too.

Thank you kind follower for your kind words, it truly means a lot to me to have people who do appreciate my fics, and I love how they help others to forget about some of the crap they are going through in their day to day life.

Yours truly

Ms World ;)

[castle-dominion]

5x9 secret santa, I read a fic with an episode tag; actually I can't find it & I went through 22 of my fic history with ctrl f & a bunch of different searches to see if I could find it, but I could not & I've been searching for this for over half an hour

KR: staring into space JE: Yo, what you still doing here? (he sits) Shouldn’t you be at home, stuffing your wife’s stocking? ((XD)) KR: KR: I don’t think I’m ready, Javi. JE: For what? Sex? KR, a smile still cracking through at that: No. For what sex leads to. We were putting up the tree the other day, and Jenny says to me, “just doesn’t feel like Christmas without kids”. She wants to try. JE: smiles/frowns in a nod KR: But I come to work. I watch the news every day. It seems like the world’s falling apart. How am I supposed to bring a kid into that? JE: The world’s always falling apart, bro. Since the beginning of time. But having kids? Making a family? That’s what keeps it together. So go home. Make a baby. You’re ready. KR: nods along. KR: Yeah. Thanks, bro. (he slaps him on the arm) Merry Christmas. JE: Yeah. Merry Christmas. He forces a smile. He’s still alone.
