Complete

doin' something unholy by BekkaChaos/ @bekkachaos (PWP, TikTok, Getting Together | 7K | Explicit): Eddie makes a tiktok account so he can monitor Chris' activity on the app, and he stumbles across Buck’s profile.

Baby, I'm Never Gonna Leave You by I_still_dont_understand_13 (BTHBingo: Distress Call, Post-S6 | 12K | Mature): "Um... You remember that bracelet I bought Taylor?" Buck asked. Unfortunately, Eddie did. That Christmas was memorable... for all the wrong reasons. "Yeah. Why?" "It's been set off," he said, tilting his head like a confused puppy.

🔥 Ace of Hearts by glorious_spoon/ @glorious-spoon (Post-S6, Getting Together | 9K | Teen): "I've been wondering…" Maddie pauses, watches Buck make a face like he's bracing to be smacked. "What happened with Eddie? You two were dancing around it for so long, and then… what, it just didn't work out? Was the date really that bad?" She's expecting another wince, or even for him to duck out of the conversation entirely, but instead Buck is staring at her like she's grown a second head. "Maddie. I've never been on a date with Eddie." Or: the poker game was a date. It takes Buck a while to catch on, though.

🔥 I'm comin' back, don't let me go by wikiangela/ @wikiangela (Post-S6, Angst | 7K | General): Buck's post-lightning breakdown takes him on a drive through the country, fighting not to give into his dark thoughts - a phone call from Eddie might be all he needs to lead him back home.

We Were Never Meant To Be Someone's Secret by DeadlyChildArtemis / @aroeddiediaz (Madney Wedding, Secret Relationship | 3K | Explicit): Buck and Eddie have been trying to keep their new relationship secret until after Maddie and Chimney's wedding, but strange events keep conspiring to expose them before they're ready. The final straw is when they discover their hotel room at the venue only has one bed...

he speaks the languages of love by glorious_spoon (PWP, Established Buddie, Phone Sex | 4K | Explicit): "Buck. It's been almost two weeks since I've been able to get my hands on you. I'm going out of my mind. Yeah, I want you to tell me how you thought about bending me over the weight bench when I critiqued your gym selfies, or whatever." Or: while Eddie is out of town, he and Buck revisit an old fantasy of Buck's.

you were never meant to carry it on your own by artificalsirens/ @fortheloveofbuddie (Established Buddie, Hurt Buck, Smut | 5K | Explicit): During sex, Buck has a bad chronic pain flare up but wants to continue. Eddie stops him and takes care of him.

🔥 when you know, you know by asteriasera/ @asteriasera (Post-S6, Friends To Fiances | 11K | General): “How did you know you and Karen were ready to get married?” Hen blinks, clearly taken aback by the question. “I didn’t know you and Natalia were so serious.” “We’re not,” he blurts out, face red. “I’m not– I don’t even have a ring, and we haven’t really talked about it, but I was just curious. I mean, you should know since you two got married like, twice, right?” “That’s true.” Hen hums, then huffs out a laugh just the right amount of soft for this sweet pre-dawn moment. “As cheesy as it sounds, I guess that when you know, you know.” OR: After eight months of dating, Natalia begins dropping hints for their future together and Buck begins to question if this is what he really wants.

Enter Eddie Diaz, his replacement, and May's scheming takes hold. But that's fine; two can play that game.

i found love where it wasn't supposed to be by chromatophorica/ @chromatophorica (Season 2, Buck&Bobby | 12K | Teen): It’s not until the earthquake that Eddie figures it out. He’d be the same if Chris was there; probably a little more overbearing, but Chris is only seven, so he figures that’d be why. But it makes sense, how focused on Buck that Nash is right then, the similar frantic energy that Buck’s got focusing on the Captain. He’s a little surprised that the LAFD allow a father and son pair to work together OR: Eddie makes some assumptions when he joins the 118, he'd like the record to show he's not entirely wrong.

we made it (knew that we would be alright) by honestlydarkprincess/ @honestlydarkprincess (S7 Spec, Buck&Maddie | <1K | General): Maddie asks Buck to walk her down the aisle.

you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad by bellabrady (Post-S6, Getting Together | 5K | Not Rated): Or: Eddie is annoyed with Buck for being so very kissable but his drunk self isn't the best at phrasing things.

what to do when evan buckley breaks into your house at 3:17 in the morning by oklahoma/ @sunshinediaz (Getting Together | 3K | Teen): After a night out drinking with Maddie, Buck (kind of) breaks in to Eddie’s house.

Orange Peels & Coffee by bibuckleyforever/ @bibuckleyforever (Post-S6, Getting Together | 2K | General): Eddie finds out about the Orange Peel Theory and it leads to some important realizations.

some of it's just transcendental by fallingthorns/ @fallingthorns (Accidental Kissing, Getting Together | 2K | Teen): Buck smiles as Eddie leans in and presses a soft kiss to his lips, and Buck feels himself grinning further against his mouth and kissing back before Eddie pulls away, too soon and with that same soft smile on his lips. He eases the bags fully out of Buck’s arms and turns to head into the kitchen, and Buck watches him go with such a fond smile that he feels like he’s going to explode. And then he freezes and stares at Eddie’s retreating form, his heart constricting in his chest as his brain struggles to catch up with the events of the last twenty seconds. Because kissing? Is not something they have ever done before.

that green light, i want it by asteriasera / @asteriasera (Post-S6, One Night Stand, Getting Together | 11K | Mature): Buck and Eddie hook up after Maddie and Chim’s wedding, then spend an inordinate amount of time not talking about what it means until the universe decides to intervene.

if i need to rearrange my particles — i will for you. by dylaesthetics (Post-S6, Identity Porn | 6/11 | 22K | Teen): OR Buck joins a support app for first responders and matches with a firefighter who has PTSD and a kid who likes giraffes, apparently.

🔥 Things We're All Too Young to Know by Daisies_and_Briar / @cal-daisies-and-briars (Canon S1-S6, S7 Spec | 120/? | 362K | Mature): This is a love story. Even if it doesn’t always look like it. Even if it doesn’t always feel like it. A look back on Eddie and Buck's lives up to now, and what led them to each other, interpreted from the current 9-1-1 canon.

🔥 Any Other Way by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Canon Divergent, S2 | 4/18 | 25K | Mature): In a switcheroo alternate universe, Buck spends young adulthood in the military, while Eddie, who has no idea Christopher exists, spends his twenties messing around, finally enjoying freedom away from his family’s expectations. When they both end up in Los Angeles, at the 118, some things are different, and others will be the same in any universe.

🔥 because we'll all arrive in heaven alive by callmenewbie/ @puppyboybuckley (Post-S6, Disaster Fic | 7/9 | 51K | Explicit): During a search and rescue, Eddie disappears without a trace, leaving Buck to grapple with the sudden possibility of a life without him.

@lara-legomonkiekid

Can I haver a part 2 of "What if Y/N was too territorial had Choo Choo Charles as pet",Please?

The monkey queen gets a visit from an unsuspecting train

(Lmk Wukong) It was relaxing on Flower fruit mountain until a frantic MK Appeared.

Mk: Monkey queen we need your help!!!😨

Wukong Gave her full attention to her protege and asked her what happened???

Mk: It was big!!! it was Smiling with blank eyes!😨😨😨

Mk Was hyperventilating like crazy before the monkey queen told her to Breath and tell her what happened

Mk: The creature was sitting outside of pigsy noodle shop. Everybody ran away or went into hiding It hasn't done anything but it was just sitting Menacingly! you got to come and get rid of it or Help me get rid of it Or even see what at wants😭😭😭😱😱😱

Mk Quickly described the creature sitting outside of the shop and monkey queen immediately knew who she was talking about.

(Wukong) What the hell is charles doing out of the jungle as far as I heard he never leaves the Jungle

Wukong Agreed to help MK with whatever Charles was doing. And just as the girl had said, the giant train spider was sitting right in front of pigsy's noodle shop and hasn't move.

(Wukong) Charles i'm here hey buddy what are you doing

The large local motive suddenly Move towards her and smacked his face against her head. He Looking everywhere for her And he remembers that she would hang out here. So he thought as long as he waited she would eventually come.

(Wukong) It's good to see you too, pow. But what are you doing out here especially without your friend

Charles couldn't respond because he knows that she won't understand him. But the reason he was out here was to find her of course. She has displayed So many positive traits of a mate for his master. She already responded to the possible Danger. She's taken care of her Adult child she adopted and she came down to protect the people around her. Make her a candidate for if her and his master decide to ever have children. She checked every box Of the list in his head and he actually likes her personally so win win.

Before anything else could happen

CHARLES!

The monkey Queen and everyone else turns to see you. You are an oversized black hoodie, some black jeans and sneakers. You were confused embarrassed and outraged looks like an explanation is an order

(NR Wukong) She was speechless. So was Li In front of the two girls was the legendary choo choo charles. He somehow found out where the monkey queen lived and showed up One bright and early morning. He seemed to be content as soon as he saw her he ran up To her and stop right in front of her letting out a loud Choo Choo. Li Was hiding behind the Queen's back. I know you may not believe me but that's exactly what's happening

(Li): What the hell is that Doing here

(Wukong) Oh calm down he's not gonna hurt you. His name is charles

(Li): Uh how the hell do you know that

(Wukong) Do you not notice the name tattoo to his engine

They both looked at the word charles on the side of the local motive who was Still calmly watching the two. Charles When to find the monkey queen Because he's never seen another monkey a female one before. He thought she had good traits of being a mate and considering she's remaining calm in front of the Possible danger that is him and keeping the child she already has safe She could be amazing mother in the future.

(Wukong) Charles, I don't exactly know what you want. But i'm pretty sure I don't have it just go home bud

But charles didn't move and remain Resting next to the garage. It was like he was waiting for someone and we get to see who

Charles Where are you

Everyone turn to see you approaching them seems like a explanation is in order

(HIB Wukong) She heard giggling from outside. But outside she had the heart attack of a lifetime. Her first thoughts were what the hell is charles doing here?! Her second thoughts is Liuer Couldn't be that stupid. The monkey Queen found a little girl playing with Charles hanging off one of his many legs. She was having a lot of fun. And charles seemed to enjoy her company as well as he was given her rides around the field.

(HIB Wukong) Charles put her down on once!

Oh good his target is here. Now before you say anything he's not here to fight but to observe. Ever since double jungle incident charles has shown interest towards the monkey queen. She seems to be good candidate for a mate for his master. She's already displaying motherly traits towards the child. She already has and she is ready to defend her from the possible danger that is him. Though he wouldn't in a million years attack. A small child especially when you can clearly smell her scent on A little girl so attacking her would mean attacking the monkey. Queen and that's not what he wants to do.

But anyway, charles allowed the small child to climb out of him and approach the queen She pushed Liuer Behind her In case it wasn't a trap but before anybody can say or do anything

Charles!!

Everyone turns to see you were approaching the train with Glare of annoyance and embarrassment an explanation seems to be in order

(Mk Reborn Wukong) She was severely annoyed with charles. That overgrown Super Hellish Arachnid followed her back to the monk and the pilgrims. He would not leave her alone. No matter how many times she pushed them away. He was not leaving her as she couldn't for the life of her understand why.

(Mk Reborn Wukong) Look, I don't know what you want from me. But i'm pretty sure I don't have it

Charles Didn't respond because she wouldn't understand what he's saying anyway. Between you and me. Charles approached a monkey queen because he already saw qualities of a mate for His own master she fit every aspect of him and Because of that he wants to make the relationship start as soon as possible. And in order to do that, he came to study her and see what they can use a platform.

Wukong Just groaned because it seems like he's not leaving anytime soon. To Charles, her aggression would be handy for possible dangerous to herself and any children. His master and her will have.

Charles!!!

The group turned to see you stomping towards the overgrown train and the monkey queen I guess explanation is an order

(Netflix Wukong) The village was in chaos again. Monkey queen was on her way to fix whatever's going on until she saw A very familiar creature who had gotten there first.

CHOO! CHOO!

Wukong I found that charles was already ripping through the demon invaders like tissue paper. The big old spider was covered in blood and chewing on the corpse of a demon. It seems like he killed all of them already before Swallowing the demon and approaching the monkey queen herself.

Wukong Guarded herself ready to fight until a big bloody slimey me tongue wiped itself against her furry face. The monkey queen stood still horrified by what she just experienced while charles was letting out excited whistles noises. Charles took a immediate liking to the monkey Queen herself. Says she's never seen a female monkey before. He is so sick of his master being alone all the time in that damn jungle It's about time he got out and socialized make some friends and find a girlfriend. And for his master to do that, he's going to need to give him a bit of a push.

(Wukong) Thanks for the help charles I didn't expect to see you so soon.

The demonic locomotive let out a Choo Choo before a familiar Figure came down to the queen and the spider.

Charles there you are what are you doing out here?!

Monkey queen turns to see you at the other end of the battlefield walking over The dead body Do you mean glaring at the spider an explanation is In order I assume

Wade and Tom hcs pleaseeeee 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I lov u wade i lov you tom. I actually have a whole post of tom hcs that you can check out here:

but i for sure have a few left in the tank!!!!!!1! Im gonna spritz some of my remaining tom ones, release my wade ones unto the world and then zoom in a little on their relationship >:D

TOM GURNEY AND WADE MARTIN HCS

TOM GURNEY

Skin picker. Big time skin picker. He just cant seem to help himself, its sort of a nervous tic. If he could just leave his fucking face alone for five minutes his acne would have cleared up a long time ago. Most of the marks on his face are actually just scars because he wont stop PICKING!!!!!

Saw the hobo get beamed up after the last fighting moves mission, i know this is pretty much canon atp but i think what would make it so much more batshit is if it had happened in BROAD DAYLIGHT. And no one other than tom gave a fuck. He comes out with all kinds of stupid conspiracy shit on the daily so no one even thinks to try and argue. They’re all like “yeeeah okay buddy whatever you say..”

Very emotionally mature, because of this he’s very painfully aware of all his shortcomings. He’s a good dude at heart but its aside pf him people never see. He’s pretty well renowned as the clique tapper, but honestly, he only talks so much because he doesnt wanna worry his friends by being all quiet and mysterious.

WADE MARTIN

MAAAAAAJOR little brother syndrome. He and Christy are only a year or so apart (possibly projecting bc that’s the gap between me and MY brother) but he gives me the vibe of a little kid who feels the need to show off because he’s younger. His general demeanour and outlook on the world tells me that he’s sort of crying out for attention and to some degree, help. He talks a lot about repeated suspensions, and the fact that no one seems to care about them anymore, and also the fact that he’s not doing all that well in his classes. He’s a kid that neeeds intervention, a firm shove in the right direction… and maybe some counselling. He’s practically jumping up and down on the spot yelling ‘LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT MEEE!’

More family hcs, but he and Christy only share their father. They have different mothers. Both women aren’t really in the picture beyond what the custody laws state they have to be. Christy’s mum left her with their dad when she was a baby, and Wade’s mum was his side piece. They divorced when Wade was 11. He hates both their guts for separating in what was a pretty tumultuous transition period in his life. If I’m getting my numbers right, 10-11 is the transition from elementary school to middle school. It was during this time that Wade started to struggle, he was a gifted student in his early years, and thus was left to his own devices. Because of that lack of support, his grades slipped and slipped and slipped, he just barely passed the entrance exam to get into Bullworth, and then started outright failing.

His hyper sexual voice lines are a way of deflecting away from how he really feels. Encouraged by his father, Wade feels he has to be this big, macho guy. He’s been brought up by his dad to believe high school is all about chasing tail and finding someone willing to have your kids straight out of the gate. In his head, Wade’s not about that at all. He wasn’t quite ready to be a man, he’d have liked a few more years of being a kid. Manhood is this big, scary, complex thing that he’s not ready for yet.. especially if its anything like Mr Martin tells him it is.

Takes great pride in his hair, but he does dye it. You can’t be a ginger bully, that’s like a spoon with holes in it or concrete scuba flippers. It doesnt work, its weird. It’s ugly. He and Trent do their hair together, he trusts Trent with it more than he trusts himself, the kid has been bleaching his own hair since he was 12, he’s a professional. And besides, he’s not gonna pay someone in a salon to dye it, what if he gets caught????

WADE AND TOM

They’re very close friends, I think wade was one of Tom’s first friends at Bullworth, back when he was this scrawny, quiet kid with a big ol birthmark over his eye. Wade had intended to beat the crap out of him to show him what was what, he looked weak and easy to snap. All brittle like a wafer cookie. Upon seeing his eye, Wade wrongfully assumed that someone has beat him to it, and knowing what a tumultuous home life could do to a kid, he invited Tom to come sit with them at lunch and he just… never left.

They really remind me of Troy and Abed from community dynamic-wise. One emotionally mature, but mildly childish dude (Tom) and one smarter than he appears meathead (Wade). Where they differ from Troy and Abed is instead of building blanket forts and acting out TV shows, they give swirlies and smoke cigarettes like they’re going out of fashion. “…” “…” “you wanna go do burnouts in the train yard dont you Wade” “Get OUUTA MY FRIGGIN BRAIN MAN! How’d you know that?!” “Lucky guess.”

Closer with each other than anyone else in the bullies clique. They lay on the roof after curfew and talk. For HOURS. They’ve been doing it for so long now that they’ve started smuggling sleeping bags and blankets up there so they can just sleep once they’re done. Wade likes that he can be open with his troubles about home., his many many troubles. Every day there’s a new home trouble. Tom talks about his fears about the secrecy at Bullworth and his theories, he feels like Wade is the only one that even bothers to TRY and see his point of view. Wade cries a lot during these little almost-therapy sessions. And Tom is right there with him, patting his back and wiping his tears. It’s cute.

Garage band duo. Tom is the drummer, Wade plays the three power chords he knows on his busted up hand-me-down Stratocaster that can barely plug into the amp anymore and really desperately needs new strings, and screams into the mic. It’s pretty hardcore, but it doesn’t actually sound all that bad. They work pretty well as a two piece and have played a total of four gigs, but its always been foe them anyway. They don’t wasn’t the gig money or the fame, they just wanna rock out.

[dragon-queen21]

Okayokayokayokayokayokayokayokayokay HEAR ME OUT: regressed characters reacting to watching a new slice of life anime! I’ll talk about the anime at the end!

Oh, and btw, it’s a huge ramble-lamble of an ask, just letting you know real quick that it’s about to get long

With Regressed Tanjiro

Tanjiro: Why is that boy all by himself?

Giyu: Is he even allowed to be alone?

Kie (I’m having her be in this, sue my butt): No, I think he has someone living with him.

*the boy’s aunt gets mentioned*

Tanjiro: Ohhhh, I see it now.

Giyu: What happened to his mom?

Tanjiro: *gets teary eyed* Did… Did she die…? And his dad too?

Giyu: Oh sh- Uh… Uh- N-No, I think he’s not an orphan.

Tanjiro: *sniffle* Are you sure?

Kie: *in the kitchen* It’s not horror, so I’m sure it’s okay.

*a few minutes later*

Tanjiro: *sees a small round creature on screen* 😮 Is it a embryo child?

Giyu: They just said that a mummy was sent over.

Tanjiro: 😦 Did a child die to look like that? 🥺

*the tiny mummy starts crying on screen too*

Tanjiro: 😶 DID I MAKE IT CRY, I’M SORRY, I’M SO SORRY, I DIDN’T MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY! ;-;

Giyu: *pauses the episode so he can let Tanjiro cry for a few minutes* We’re gonna be here for a while.

*Tanjiro stops crying after Nezuko came in to explain that no kids died and no one became a mummy for the creature to exist, so they go back to watching the episode*

With Regressed Kyojuro

Kyojuro: … *tries to eat dog food*

Tengen: Noooope, no, lil’ buddy, we do not eat food for puppies. *takes away the dog kibble* Kyojuro: How come pillow child can eat it, but I can’t?

Tengen: One, that’ll make you sick. Two, you just ate.

Kyojuro: Still hungry, though!

Tengen: *sighs* I cannot believe I’m saying this, but you’re not getting food now, Kyojuro!

Kyojuro: 😨 Did… Did I lose food privileges… because you mad at me…? 🥺

Tengen: *under his breath in a panic* Shit!

Makio: *out of sight* Tengen Gonzalez Uzui! What did you do?!

Tengen: Uh, I’m working on it, honey, we just have a little mishap! *to Kyojuro* Hey, bud, I’ll tell you what, I’ll get you chips, okay? 😅

Kyojuro: (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) Sweet potato an’ apples too?

Tengen: Sure, just… don’t tell Mama that I made you cry, please! ;W;

Kyojuro: Oki! ∩^ω^∩

*They go back to watching the episode with Kyojuro happily eating his snack*

Tengen: That was close… 😮‍💨

*note: Makio is referred to as “Mama” by regressed Kyojuro

With Regressed Nezuko

-Has watched the anime first out of everyone, so more often than not, she sits with them to explain what happens in the show.

-On the rare occasion she does need to regress at home, she gives someone a heads up before locking herself in her room for an hour to watch the show.

Nezuko: *has loaf of bread in her mouth, as she regressed and was hungry*

Giyu: I see why you were familiar with this show before. Did you find it on YouTube?

Nezuko: *nods* Mmmhmm!

With Regressed Aether

Paimon: *staying out of reach because Aether did try to eat her while regressed once* Why does that blue haired social emo wanna eat the mummy?

Aether: PAIMON, MUMMY NOT FOOD!

Paimon: I never said I wanted to eat him! 🙄

Aether: You better not have! 😤

With Regressed Venti

-Being babysat by Klee because she begged to be Venti’s “big sis” to Jean, who relented, only on the condition that neither go fish blasting the whole time (Klee actually didn’t try sneaking out to do that, for once, surprisingly)

Klee: *giving Venti apples while watching the episode*

Venti: *munching on apple* I see why mummy kid likes apples to be rabbits!

Klee: Oh? Why is that, Ven?

Venti: You like apple too!

Klee: Me? How so?

Venti: Apples are red and bunny shaped, big sis is red and has bunnies, so big sis is an apple too!

Klee: *decides to agree with Venti on that statement because he made a good point*

Jean: *did not have the heart to tell both of them that apples don’t normally look like bunnies nor do they have a habit of blowing up fishies*

With Regressed Zenitsu

-He relates to the mummy the most because of the crying they both do

-Sanemi wasn’t allowed to be watching him alone because Zenitsu was scared of him until a later point

Sanemi: *watching an oni kid get yelled at for eating someone else’s food* Dumbasses.

Zenitsu: Language, meanie!

Sanemi: What? That girl should’ve put a label on her food if she didn’t want it eaten! That dumb foodie is like Inosuke, he’s gonna see food and think it’s his, but not everything is his pantry! He kinda deserved it.

Zenitsu: *didn’t feel the need to really argue because Sanemi made a good point* Oh.

*later…*

Sanemi: Okay, I’m out, this is ridiculous.

Tanjiro: *upstairs* You better not be leaving, Sanemi! You promised to watch Zenitsu in exchange for me watching Genya next week!

Sanemi: *groans* I forgot… But this part of the episode is gonna suck! Why are they trying to find the free loader?

Zenitsu: *chewing on the couch*

Sanemi: Mouth off the leather, child. (He wasn’t allowed to call Zen a brat when he was regressed)

*a few more minutes later…*

Tanjiro: Okay, I can help you with Zen if there was- Uh…

Sanemi: *on the floor weeping silently*

Zenitsu: *trying to comfort him while also crying* Ro, the baby red child got food thrown and it got a boo-boo, and we called him a pig! *wails*

Tanjiro: Um… Can I get an explanation please?

Sanemi: *sniffle* Can we get ice cream first…?

-After that, Sanemi was allowed to watch Zenitsu alone for an hour at most because turns out, seeing him cry was what made Zenitsu less afraid of him

With Regressed Inosuke

-Keeps asking about any fighting, much to Shinobu’s chagrin

-Hama frequently stops by to help and brings food for Inosuke to have

Inosuke: *happily eating the tempura Hama made while watching the show silently*

Hama: *makes a note to make new foods based on the show for Inosuke to try next time she comes over*

With Regressed Sanemi + Genya

Gyomei: For the last time, just because you two like the blue one does not mean I’m getting you a pet like that.

Sanemi: Make us not get it! *pouts*

Gyomei: It’s not happening.

Genya: *grabs one of Gyomei’s cats and tries to sneak off*

Gyomei: …Which one did you pick up?

Genya: 😨

Sanemi: RUN FOR IT, GEN! *nopes off before Gyomei can grab him*

*Since Sanemi is actually faster than Gyomei, he distracts the Stone Hashira while Genya makes off with one of the kitties; they managed to keep it for three months before Gyomei came over to have it back*

*It ironically backfired, though, as a week later, Genya got to keep that same kitten that he named Isao*

-Both of them liked the blue and white creature in the show the most

With Regressed Mitsuri, Muichiro, and Giyu

Mitsuri: *drawing an orange dragon*

Muichiro: *drawing a blue and white creature*

Giyu: *trying to figure out how to draw a friend for the small mummy*

Kanae: How are you three holding up?

Mitsuri: Look, look! I drew Isao! *holds up her drawing proudly*

Muichiro: I um… I drew the fluffy bean. *holds up his drawing*

Giyu: I can’t draw the mummy a friend… 🥺

Muichiro: *sorta pats Giyu’s head (he’s doing his best, he doesn’t know how to pat)* It otay. Why not draw mummy’s human?

Giyu: Oh! I didn’t think of that! 🙂 Thank you!

With Regressed Obanai

-He hates one of the characters because she hates reptiles/lizards

Obanai: Give dragon new name, dummy! *grumpy face*

Mitsuri: *is doing her best not to get fed up because she likes that same character Obi hates* It’s fine, Obi, I promise, she doesn’t hate the dragon.

With Regressed Shinobu

-Turns out, she doesn’t like the same character like Obanai, since she isn’t a fan of furry animals herself

Shinobu: Can I poison her?

Giyu: SHE’S IN HIGH SCHOOL! 🤦‍♂️

With Regressed Tengen

Tengen: *attempting to eat cucumbers with dog food*

Kyojuro: 😑 Not again…

Itto: Is that normal for him to do?

Kyojuro: Not really, he’s not supposed to do that.

Itto: *picks up a regressed Tengen* Okay, buddy, I think that’s enough trying the dog food with cumbers.

Tengen: Awwwww…

Itto: We’re gonna try some of that with lavender melons now!

Tengen: Yayyyy!

Kyojuro: NOOOOO! *panicking*

*Turns out, watching that episode gave both Itto and Tengen the idea to try and eat dog food, and given how much smooth brain energy Itto gives out, he’d probably encourage the idea for fun; poor Rengoku, and he’s a foodie too 😂😭*

(I had Itto get involved in this because nuts to keeping the characters in their universes, I’m doing a crossover 🤣)

With Regressed Gyomei

-Since this man can’t really tell just how small the mummy is, Mitsuri offered to make a physical version of the mummy character for him to hold.

-The rest of the Hashira watched Gyomei’s reaction to the mummy character because they were curious about his reaction (Gyomei gave them permission beforehand)

Gyomei: *holding Mitsuri’s physical version of the mummy character from the show* Is… Is this how tiny he really is?

Mitsuri: Mmhm. Did I do a good job of describing him like that to you?

Gyomei: 😶 *he starts tearing up* He’s so tiny… and impressionable… like a newborn kitty… *immediately goes softie mode and starts crying*

Sanemi: Man, it’s not a huge deal, it’s just a doll she made for you.

Aoi: *smacks Sanemi’s shoulder*

Gyomei: IT IS MORE THAN A DOLL, SIR! ;W;

-Gyomei gets super attached to the doll quickly, which lead to Mitsuri getting many people involved to make more dolls based on the show’s characters so they could let Gyomei experience the show in his way. He makes quite a few Saturdays his “regression days” just so he could watch the show

With Regressed Kotetsu + Hu Tao

-Both of them would demand onesies of the oni kid and the baku respectively

Kotetsu: Halloween time!

Hu Tao: Halloweeen!

Zhongli: *facepalms* Not again, it’s March…

Muichiro: *hands Zhongli some candy* This usually works on them, I got them from Nezuko and Mitsuri.

The name of the anime that all of them were watching that I was referring to is called Miira No Kaikata (otherwise known as “How To Keep A Mummy,” but I usually call it by the original title), which is about a young boy named Sora who gets sent a small and adorable mummy from Egypt by his traveling father, so he adapts to having this mummy be a part of his life.

It’s a really cute slice of life anime that I honestly adore and want to recommend; turns out it’s also a good anime to relax with. Think of it like Bluey in anime before Bluey ever existed because it gives very similar vibes to that show. Thank you for coming to my ted talk about how I just made a few Genshin Impact and Demon Slayer characters interact with each other over an anime about a cute mummy who I want to hold because no one is stopping me from doing crossovers :p

Heck yeah do all the crossovers >:3

I love this! This is so self indulgent and I love it. It's all my favorite characters for two fandoms am obsessed with right now and a recommendation for a new anime. (Sending you hugs! Thanks so so somuch for sharing made me very happy <3)

~Ahh, Tanjiro is like little me. Super over sensitive to shows :<

~“Tengen: *under his breath in a panic* Shit! Makio: *out of sight* Tengen Gonzalez Uzui! What did you do?!”

<- Mama Makio senses

Let. The baby. Eat. Snacks! 👏 Movie snacks are the best!

~“*staying out of reach because ether did try to eat her while regressed once*”

<- sdjoanfoas Oh gosh Aether would. Emergency food taken very literally.

~Poor Rengoku would be at his limit. Extra caregiver? Nah nah nah, another gremlin child to keep in check

~Awww Mitsuri making Gyomei the little mummy friend is so cute!!

~I love Hu Tao. Poor Zhongli is so fed up with halloween antics XD

(Gives you a round of applause) this has made my day. Haven’t been doing the best when I got this, hence the very late reply, and this lovely post I have been reading through slowly over the past days while trying out the anime. It is adorable! Thank you so much again for the recommendation and the silly crossover <3<3<3

*Felix had to think for a moment about what Reshi had said. Destino was one to take things a little too far sometimes. However, the sight of her made it difficult to even consider them a priority. Felix just wanted to look into her eyes all day. Those gorgeous, watercolour eyes. She truly was a delightful sight to look at. He had to respond. He couldn’t let a beautiful woman like this wait for him. He could feel his cheeks blushing harder.*

Felix: Sorry, ya beauty is truly distracting. Ya really are just so gorgeous. I really mean that. But… I can see where ya comin’ from. Perhaps I should have a word with ‘em. Maybe. But, I don’t really wanna be responsible for them all the time, ya know? Maybe I can get ya a drink or somethin’ ta help ya forget all about ‘em?

*From the corner of Felix’s eye, he noticed a figure emerging through the crowd, sauntering towards him. Those sunglasses and white hair instantly gave away who it was. It was odd but Felix felt incredibly protective all of a sudden. He shouldn’t feel like that around his friend but something was telling him to not let his guard down. Destino casually approached, resting their arm on Felix.*

Destino: Of course you do. And I’m saying that she isn’t good enough for you. Come on buddy. I know you. Known you for years at this point. I know what you like. And she isn’t on that list. She wouldn’t even be top 50. Just look at her. Disgusting.

*Felix’s feelings were strong for this beautiful woman. He used to not believe in love at first sight but he couldn’t deny what his heart was telling him. He loved this woman and wanted to protect her from Destino.*

Felix: Well, ya clearly don’t know me. She’s one of the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen and, for once, I don’t like the fact that ya ain’t being nice to someone I like. No, I’m gonna say love. Someone I love.

*That end part stung like a swarm of beedrill. Love? No, whatever had infected Felix was strong. He wasn’t usually like this. Then again, the Pokémon had never shown any signs of infatuation towards anyone else before. How was Destino supposed to know when he loved someone? They had to snap Felix out of this, somehow. Time to bring out the old Destino special.*

Destino: So, you mean to tell me that this woman who wears curtains for an outfit has captured your heart? This woman who has some of the most disgusting hair I have ever seen and shouldn’t even consider herself a legendary Pokémon because she seems rather basic to me. My friend, you have a shit taste in women. At least choose someone who has a semblance of a sense of style. Come on buddy. You’re lying to yourself.

*Felix's tolerance for Destino's verbal insults had dropped. He could feel an anger flare up inside of him. His face turned hotter, teeth clenched together and his hand curled up into a fist.*

*Destino stumbled back from the impact, sunglasses flying off their face. That was unexpected from Felix. How dare he touch their face like that?! Destino had to stop for a moment. They touched the spot where the hit had landed and pain flared up. Destino’s hand flinched away. That was going to leave a mark. Destino wanted to get angry at Felix. Show their friend that he had no right to touch the Prime of the Underdark's face. They did it with Snow. So what was holding them back from lunging at Felix?

Felix breathed heavily. The gorgeous woman wanted Destino to learn their lesson. Felix figured this would be the best way for it to happen. He'd never punched Destino before. He could see Destino tentatively touch their face. How would Destino react? Felix had to make things clear for his friend.*

Felix: I ain’t gonna have this from you. Ya constant insults. I find someone I like and, as my friend, ya don’t show any support for me? I don't need ya approval about who I can love and who I can't. I don't care about ya shitty opinions. Why do ya even care so much in the first place?

*That was a very good question. Why did Destino care so much? They supposed it was because they just wanted the best for their friend. But something deeper told them that it was more than that. But they still couldn't pinpoint what that was. It seemed Felix wasn't going to back down from his defensive nature. Looking away, Destino felt frustrated. They felt uncharacteristically sad. Sad. Why were they sad? Destino didn’t understand. They were so confused as to how they were supposed to be feeling. They weren't going to respond with their usual demonstration of proving they were the Prime and should be listen to.*

*Destino picked up the sunglasses that had fallen to the ground, placed them back on and brushed themselves off. Destino began to slowly walk away, hand holding their cheek. The pain of their cheek stung, but not as much as what Felix had said. They had to get away. Destino walked towards the outside area. Perhaps the cool night air could cool off these emotions.

No anger? No dominance displays? Not even a slight mention of being the Prime? That was different. Felix watched as his friend quietly walked away from the situation. He hoped what he had done did not draw to much attention to the both of them. He sighed.*

Felix: I'm sorry ya had ta see that. Things got a little heated there. I just couldn't let Destino insult ya like that. I'm hopin' they're off thinking about what I'd said. I'm sorry ya had ta get caught up in all of this. Please, let me get ya a drink or somethin’.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the 2011 film

i'm warning you. if you take one step closer, i'm never letting you go.

it's perfect. will you read it for me?

did you think we had sex? we did not have sex!

i know it's over.

that is a terrible, self-destructive plan, and i'm behind you a hundred percent.

when we met, you weren't wearing pants.

can we not tell everyone?

how long have you two been together?

what i need is someone who's gonna be in my bed at 2AM who i don't have to lie to or eat breakfast with.

you are such an overachiever.

look at my face.

we're sex friends. friends with benefits. fuck buddies.

i can't keep doing this. i'm not gonna see you again.

look, i know i'm supposed to want to be in a relationship, but i just end up with a broken heart and a bunch of their old t-shirts.

if we were in a relationship, i would become a weird scary version of myself. my throat starts constricting. the walls start throbbing. it's like a peanut allergy, like an emotional peanut allergy.

hey, someone call charlie brown! we found the great pumpkin!

don't make fun of me!

i'm gonna call everyone in my phone until someone agrees to have sex with me.

i'm pretty good at archery.

let's smoke some weed.

i sprained my wrist punching a wall.

i'm not good at this stuff.

the box of fifty donut holes is $5.79. you're gonna need two boxes.

we fell asleep and we were spooning.

try to stay away from women who want to fuck you.

that was really mean.

don't do that. don't just disappear like that on me.

do you wanna do this?

well, i can't date you either.

you're very talented, but fuck you!

i guess i wanted to hear your voice.

i want you to know that i respect you.

you shouldn't listen to me.

do you want to get out of here?

it's not really possible.

you left your socks in my room.

if you're lucky, you're never gonna see me again.

congrats? for what? having sex with you?

i'm so sorry. i love you.

hey, you can't call me and tell me that you miss me.

if you really miss me, you need to grow up and get in your car and come and see me.

people aren't meant to be together forever.

i don't want to freak you out, but i'd love to hang out with you in the daytime sometime.

i thought you just said it.

i'm going to start peeing with the door open. it's going to get weird.

i can't focus on my porn with all this real sex going on around me!

i don't want to have that conversation on the phone.

we don't get to pick who we fall in love with, and it doesn't happen like it should.

we didn't break up. we never started.

you did a good job, so i thought you deserved a balloon.

you make my heart skip a beat.

yeah, i could do that.

can i say something? and don't take this the wrong way because you know i'll be your friend no matter what.

okay, where's that?

oh, by the way, it's the best sex of my life.

are you still there?

i made you a valentine's day card.

i'm assuming that's a good thing.

things were getting too intense so we decided not to see each other until we hook up with other people.

that's really sweet.

you always do this. you always find something wrong with everybody who likes you.

we were spooning with our clothes on which is like. ten times worse.

i can't stop thinking about them.

this isn't really my place.

i'm telling you to be hurt. i can take it. the world can take it.

sometimes my neck gets sore because my brain is so big.

get in your car and drive away.

i know this is random. i just... um. i miss you. i miss you so much.

i don't know what to say.

you're fucking my ex-girlfriend?

i'm not gonna meet your parents.

don't list me as your emergency contact. i won't come.

you know i worry about you sometimes.

i think monogamy goes against our basic biology.

i just worked fourteen hours.

no one threw up on me today.

that was such a fail on my part.

if i catch you taking pictures of your dick one more time, i'm taking that thing away.

watch and learn.

you want to go with me to this stupid thing?

did you look at it?

oh my god, i love you so much.

💙 + need, for buddie

I really don't know if I like this, but it's more than I've been able to write in a few weeks so that makes me happy enough! I hope that you don't completely hate it. Thank you so much for sending the prompt!

send me a heart and a word for a fic

•••

“You’re still not sleeping.”

The loft is quiet, with half the lights turned out and the television turned down so low it may as well be on mute. Buck thought that he was the only one sticking it out through the overnight shift while the rest sleep it off in the bunks.

Apparently he was wrong.

Eddie drops heavily into the chair across from him, his eyes tired but attentive. Guilt stirs in his chest because Buck knows without a doubt that he’d be asleep if it weren’t for him.

“I’m sleeping fine,” he says, not quite winning the fight against the exhaustion that weighs his words down.

To his credit, Eddie doesn’t outright scoff or call Buck out on his bullshit. He’d have every right to do it, but he simply sits back and regards him with a single raised eyebrow.

“Right.”

Buck lets a heavy sigh escape, scraping his hands down his face.

“I’m fine, Eddie.”

“Yeah? That why you’re volunteering to be the man behind on almost every call we get?” 

His eyes fall and he busies himself with inspecting the flaws in the table from years of use, rubbing at his knuckles and doing all he can to keep from meeting Eddie’s knowing, worried gaze.

“Someone’s gotta do it,” Buck says with a shrug.

He sees Eddie lean forward in the corner of his eye, watches his arms fold on the table.

“And you used to fight tooth and fucking nail to make sure it was never you, so what the hell changed?” he demands, losing a little bit of that patience that’s seemed so endless since Buck was discharged from the hospital.

Dropping his head back, Buck lets out a groan loud enough to fill the space around them.

“Why does it matter?” he questions angrily, the legs of his chair scraping over the ground as he jumps to his feet and begins to pace. “One minute everyone is practically begging me to ease back in but now apparently I’m taking it too slow? When will you make up your goddamn minds about it, huh?”

“Buck.”

Eddie’s voice is just sharp enough to cut off his rant before he can really get it going and Buck leans against the kitchen island with his arms folded tight over his chest, directing his furious gaze at the floor.

“I think we can both agree that I can write the book on coming back before I was ready but-”

“Who says I’m not ready?” Buck lifts his head, scowling Eddie’s way at the implication in his words.

“Jesus, Buck, you’re basically screaming it,” Eddie says, gesturing at him. “There’s nothing wrong with being afraid. You think I don’t know what that fear looks like? What it feels like?”

Lifting his chin, Buck doesn’t let himself look away now.

“Yeah, well, I’m not you.”

Eddie closes his eyes and sucks in a breath through his gritted teeth, visibly shaking off the well-aimed barb before looking up at Buck again.

“Maybe not, but I’ve been down this road and you saw how that turned out for me. Hell, you had a front row seat for most of it. So I’m gonna give you the same advice I’ve heard a few times in my life. You need to be honest with yourself, even if you’re not going to be honest with anyone else. Otherwise, what you feel will get heavier and heavier until it takes you down hard.”

Punctuating his words with a light tap of his knuckles against the table, Eddie rises to his feet. Buck watches him turn away with a heart that feels like it’s about to beat right out of his chest and tears stinging at his eyes.

“I’m scared.”

Buck hears Eddie stop walking and he tips his head back as a tear slowly traces a path down his cheek, closing his eyes and letting the confession hang in the air between them.

“I know,” Eddie says.

He can tell that he’s not facing away anymore, but Buck can’t bring himself to look back. Not so deep down, he wishes that this conversation wasn’t happening at all. But there’s no changing that, and he can’t take back what he just said.

“I don’t know what the hell to do about it,” Buck admits, shaking his head. “I-I’m trying to figure it out but nothing seems like the right move and I’m just... lost.”

The soft tread of work-issue boots draws closer and there’s a hand on the back of his neck, drawing him in until Eddie’s forehead is pressed to his and they’re breathing the same air, closer than they’ve been in a long time. Buck is reaching out before he knows it, his fingers twisting in Eddie’s shirt in a desperate attempt to keep him close.

“You can always start by asking for help,” Eddie says, his voice soft enough that no one else could hear it even if they weren’t the only two awake.

It’s so similar to what Buck said all those years ago when Bobby was struggling, and there’s no doubt in his mind that Eddie chose his words purposefully.

“Please,” Buck whispers, the fight draining out of him. “Help me.”

Eddie slips his other arm around Buck’s waist and strokes his thumb up and down the side of his neck, drawing Buck in until he has no choice but to lean his weight against him. But Eddie doesn’t waver at all, taking it easily.

“I’m here, Buck,” he murmurs, relief woven through his words. "I’m here.”

He knows it’s only the start, but the words are all that Buck needs to hear for now because he knows he won’t be alone for what comes next.

And just like that night when adrenaline carried him through those terrifying minutes trapped in an ambulance with Eddie, a patient, and a live grenade, there’s no one else he’d rather have watching his back.

[skinnymeanfaggot]

“Lie to me then.”

HI REMEMBER THIS PROMPT CHALLENGE i struggled with this prompt because i wanted to make it firehazard for you but i had no idea where this would come into a conversation. i have a draft where they would be stuck in an elevator and tell lies to each other to pass the time, but instead you get, uh, this

"This is stupid," Anim said for the fifth time. "I'm not gonna tell you all my problems and shit. Just call Zora and say I'm cured so we can both get on with our lives."

"I can't do that," Javier said tiredly. God, he was sick of this. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "You're not doing better, and she's going to notice that and get pissed at both of us for it."

"Maybe she'll just get pissed at you, for being a bad therapist," Anim suggested.

Javier narrowed his eyes. "I'm not a bad therapist, Anim,” he bit out, “you just aren't cooperating with me. It takes -"

"Both of us, I know, I fucking know, but I need you to understand this, buddy, okay?" Anim sat up from the couch and looked at him with wide eyes. "I can't be fixed. You can't fix me. So quit fucking trying."

"Maybe, if you just considered opening up, for once -"

Anim started pulling at their hair in what Javier knew was distress. "Well, I'm not fucking doing that! Because whenever I try to do that I start freaking out -"

"Which means it's working," Javier cut them off. "It means you're finally letting it out."

"I thought you were supposed to make me feel better!" Anim exclaimed.

"No, I'm not supposed to 'help you feel better,'" Javier said slowly. "I'm supposed to help you make yourself feel better -"

"By telling you all this embarrassing and revealing shit from my childhood?! I'm not fucking doing that!" Anim snapped.

"Fine!" Javier slammed his clipboard down, then breathed in slowly. "Lie to me, then. And lie to yourself. Keep telling yourself that things are okay, when they clearly aren't -”

“I am okay!” Anim snarled.

“You aren't!” Javier snapped. “And you know how I know that?!” Fuck, his heart was pounding in his ears. He could barely think. “It's because every fucking day I see you, it's always the same goddamn act - ‘oh look at me, I'm Anim, I'm so tough, no one can hurt me -'” he threw up his hands for effect “- but it's so fucking obvious to everyone that you aren't. You're not hot shit. You're just a scared fucking kid.”

“I'm not a kid!” Anim shrieked, rising to their feet, and oh, he's really done it now, but he was in far too deep to stop.

“You are! You haven't aged a day since I met you - literally - you're that same scared 19 year old my sister turned because she wanted a new thing to play with -”

“Don't talk about her that way!" Anim's eyes were blazing with fury, they looked like they were going to attack him -

“I'm not an idiot, Anim!” Fuck, God, he could barely breathe. “I've been used before! I know you've been used before, but you're letting her treat you like this because it's all you've ever known and you're more scared of change than you are getting better!”

Javier didn't realize what was happening until it was too late. The breath was knocked out of him as his shoulders were pinned against the wall, and he was strong but he knew he couldn't compete with their vampiric strength. Anim's teeth were bared in a snarl; they were more than furious at this point, with tears burning in their eyes, fangs out - oh, fuck, they were going to head for his neck - Javier bared his throat and waited for the end.

It never came.

There was something innately horrifying, to be fair, about attacking someone and watching them give in so easily. Javier was twice their size and yet he submitted without a second thought - that was, that was something he had to unpack, he realized - but on top of that, he could see they were starting to come to their senses and see - oh, God, they were trying to kill him -

They let go almost immediately, and a hand rose to clutch at their face. “Oh, fuck,” they breathed. “No - no, I - oh shit, I'm sorry - fuck, I didn't - I wasn't -”

“It's okay,” Javier breathed. “I know you wouldn't -”

“I can't - I - fuck - I have to go - I need - to go -” They were backing away from him like he was some wild animal, and not just some human, a pathetic human who knew he had pushed them too far, knew he had fucked up, and underneath that shame there was this sick pleasure of knowing that he got to them, he got the reaction he wanted - and he felt fucking disgusting.

Fuck. He wanted to hurt them. He wanted them to hurt him.

“Anim, I'm sorry,” he whispered.

“No, I - I - I have to go. I have to go.” Anim stared at him, at their hands, and back at him, stared at his shoulders which they both knew were bruising under his shirt where they grabbed him, and backed away.

Javier didn't look up; he only heard the door to his office click shut, and he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

hurt people hurt people! this takes place before some much needed character development when anim is like, 21/22 and going through the worst of their shit. and then javier isnt much better because he doesnt know how to help them with their shit because hes dealing with the exact same shit. guy who is like "you deliberately put yourself in danger because its all you know and it makes you feel normal! now im going to make you attack me!" which kind of seems to imply that someone has Done this before, and theres a reason why him not being turned was a mutual decision between him and his mother. bitches will be scared of becoming their abusers and then both act like their abusers unconsciously in fits of rage. one of my favorite things ive written lately i think. ty for this ask

[quietbluejay]

Know No Fear 4

uh oh it's reunion time ffvii remake is invading calth as well

like gene-father, like gene-son guilliman's bad decision making is inherited through the geneseed

this is about these two but it's also about guilliman

oh we're back to Thiel vs a cool daemon also thiel figured out that older weapons work better against daemons but he's worried if he tells people they'll just dismiss it as superstition

thiel and this other dude are going door to door killing daemons "every door, a new horror" also, huh, I am now wondering if this was deliberate every time i thought it was setting up for a character to die for sure, they would have died in a horror movie they survived the guy with the wife and the vet he's buddies with, Old Person, Ventanus actually getting reinforcements that weren't a trick

this is why people don't like you guys

sometimes, the dead aren't dead

guilliman's problem is that, when he gets like this there's no one on his level who is able to tell him to knock it off but yeah they really are all like this, huh oh boy time for a new guy also, reading this book first really gave me a skewed idea of what happened at Monarchia

is it crack???? is it crack that you all smoke????

or is this just them all trying desperately to justify it to themselves and internally rewriting what happened

they really are just all eternal teen boys

congratulations the bar was in hell and you actually managed to wiggle over it oh welp

they're still wiggling over the bar but they're wiggling a bit closer

ope look at that a direct consequence of breaking your code daemon time

bruh really??

oh so he realized he was lying to himself seeing this, she casually threw aside a large rock

get lorelei'd idiot owo more Thiel POV he's in spaaace space fights…alas he is outnumbered 8:1 honestly i would have rioted if Thiel had bit it

OH WAIT RANE DIDNT DIE??

I CANT BELIEVE IT also, Old Person is old he was at Verdun

and Old Person makes an improvised bayonet with a ritual knife from a dead enemy okay he's even older Austerlitz so a century back from wwi

THIS DUDE HAS THE BEST LUCK OF LITERALLY ANY BIT CHARACTER IN A HORROR NOVEL EVER he got lorelei'd TWICE and managed to come out of it

oh holy shit does Ventanus get lucky nothing is working and the only weapon he has is the Word Bearer's ritual knife aka one of the only things in this book we've seen that seems to kill daemons oh! back to Thiel! things aren't looking good

I need a Hero starts playing in the background

i know it was plot armour (and there's more to come) but this was a cool moment and i did NOT expect this

abnett please stop with the clunky prose

GIANT FACEPALM

ROB ROB

YOURE GONNA GET STABBED BY AN EVIL KNIFE starting a long and "proud" tradition

AAAAA this scene ;-;

;-; "for a second, Ventanus envies her loss"

annnd yep guilliman got bodied by someone below his power level time for evil knife

guilliman: you know if i had a nickel for every time i was in this position, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but you'd think I'd learn.

thiel had to deal with this twice except by the second time, he was friends with Guilliman

okay, this was just cheap so, Guilliman put his power claw through Kor Phaeron's chest at least ONE OF THEM should have died from this they both have plot armour also why didn't the knife work on guilliman??? it sure worked on Horus there should have been long term consequences GUILLIMAN LITERALLY TAKES KOR PHAERONS HEART OUT sigh anyways, Tawren gets to be cool how many orbital weapons is she controlling rn? yes she's the one who actually turns the tables and makes this not a valiant last stand with a bare remnant surviving

looks like team rocket's blasting off againnnnnn

so guilliman and thiel are now besties, at least

epilogue time!

stay classy, Ultramarines and thus the ultramarines became mortal enemies with the word bearers anyways, it's overall a good book, aside from the plot armour and some of the clunkiness of the prose (and the weird Perpetual stuff)

Thai QL Favorites Tag Game

Tagged by both @mineonmain and @dribs-and-drabbles Thank you!

Credit: this game was created by @thatgirl4815 as Thai BL Favorites Tag Game.

Favorite Thai QL: Bad Buddy is still tops, although it is starting to be that there are stronger and stronger ones that maybe at some point it will be like choosing from favorite children haha. BBS is a great relational story line, but I am excited about the more plotty ones happening, especially with fantasy or sci-fi plots and have high hopes others will continue to rot my brain. (looking at you Be My Favorite)

Favorite Pairing: I really feel like this is gonna get boring if I keep talking about Pat and Pran so I'm gonna also say Ink/Pa - I love their dynamic, I was so excited they would be a ship. I also am pretty certain Pisaeng and Kawi will be on this list - for reasons you can find in my screaming all over my blog right now, but since it isn't over yet I guess only time will tell. I would also say Akk and Theo. I wouldn't equally say Cher and Gun, but Force and Book do what they do well. Their shows are very unserious, but we all need some of that in our lives and they are the best at giving it.

Most underrated actor: Until now, I would have definitely said Gawin Caskey. He was never given a lead role and more than anything was doing OSTs (although his voice is beautiful so that's a great way to use him, but shouldn't be the only way). Last year when he was in both Not Me and Enchante at the same time it was like "Why the hell hasn't he gotten a lead?" Seems clear now that he maybe hadn't been the most comfortable with all that being a lead entails, but he is out there doing it now and my boy is so good. I'm so happy for him. I hope this means he'll get more opportunities later.

Favorite Character: It isn't going to be original, but yeah, it's Pat and followed oh so closely by Pran. They're great characters brought to life by great actors. Pran feels a little closer to my own tendencies and so perhaps that is why I get all heart eyes for Pat too. He's just so heart on his sleeve when he stops being oblivious and you gotta love someone who loves openly, honestly without holding back.

Favorite Side Character: This one is tough because I love a ton of side characters, but surprisingly Wai keeps popping into my head. I think Wai clearly is a complicated character, but he does have a nice growth arc, let's go of his stubborn pride, which he seems pretty attached to, and comes around to caring about the engineering guys at the end. I'm sure that it's Jimmy that really sells it, but I have always had positive feels for Wai despite him pissing me off during the series lol. Obviously I love Ink and Pa, and yes, Korn. Pearmai is amazing in Be My Favorite and I love every scene she is in. Max too. I love Max so much, he could never get enough screen time. I've gotta stop or I'll just keep listing them.

Favorite scene in a QL: Ok, this is serious spoilers for Triage so if you don't want to read any, then don't keep going - but honestly I *loved* that the vision Tin had of Tol earlier in the series was actually Tol flipped into the loop. It was such a fun time loop variation and I really enjoy fun time travel paradoxes and scenes where you understand it better from a different angle. Like I say below, underrated.

Favorite line in a QL: This is impossible, but what came to mind first was the scene is ep 11 part 4 of BBS where Pat and Pran have an exchange but Pat's lines are: "Thank you. For trying to make a silly guy like me happy...You never leave me. You fight alongside me. That makes me feel very happy." Again, Pat just telling how he feels in the moment and I love that so very much. And Pran barely says anything with words, but Nanon is king of the sparkly eyes and he says it all in return.

Most Anticipated QL (& why): Only Friends. I love all the actors. It's gonna be a hot mess of drama and all of them in the roles clearly are going to have fun doing it. And Cherry Magic because I want to see how they adapt it and after seeing Tay and New non-DBK roles I think they'll be great in it.

Healthiest relationship in a QL: Pat and Pran are the great communicators who know each other enough to give and take when it's needed and isn't that what we all hope to be able to do?

Most toxic relationship in a QL: I...feel like I have to plead the fifth on this. the ship I would put here is very popular and I think their whole dynamic is problematic and can't really even think about them without feeling annoyed so yeah, I have one that stands out over the others for me but I'll leave it at that. there's definitely plenty though. the healthy relationships are not always the majority.

Guilty pleasure series: Hmm, probably Together with Me. There was so many problems with that show and the plot was terrible in many ways, but Max and Tul were so convincing as the best friends who turned lovers and couldn't get out of their own way. I loved them in that. I also mostly liked Big Dragon which is another problematic start but worked for me. My rule apparently is if you are gonna hook up and be messed up, you both gotta be equally under influences.

Most underrated series: Well, this could change depending on how Be My Favorite ends and is finally received (I think it might not get the noise it deserves, it doesn't seem like it is at this point) but Triage is definitely what I'd say is most underrated one that has finished. It's plot is fun and the holes are lamp shaded and the actors obviously have great chemistry and the theme is that trying matters and I need those kinds of messages in my life, pretty much all the time.

I'm not sure who has been tagged before but how about @galauvant @lurkingteapot @dimplesandfierceeyes @sunshinedobi @kornswasianguyswag @dragonsareawesome123 @dontbesoevil

but no pressure, only if you want to :)

AEW Dynamite 12/7/22

Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal -- This was as boring as every battle royal. The final two are Ethan Page and Ricky Starks, and Starks gets the win, making him the number one contender for both the AEW World Championship and the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

As soon as the battle royal ends, MJF's music hits!!!!!! I was honestly not expecting him to be on this show!!! What a wonderful surprise!!

MJF enters the ring and tells Starks, "I'll be with you in one second." Lmaooo. MJF addresses Bryan Danielson, saying that Danielson isn't there because he is terrified of MJF. MJF doesn't blame Danielson, because after what he did to Regal, he'd be scared too.

Then MJF turns to Starks. "Richard, these people seem to really like you around here. They talk about you like you're some underutilized god of professional wrestling. And trust me, you are very talented. But you wanna know the truth, bud? (Shut the fuck up chants.) You wanna know the truth, absolute? The truth is, in comparison to me, you're the absolute (MJF uses air quotes here) drizzling shits. Or should I say (MJF puts on his best Rock voice), you're a roody-poo candy ass!! Considering the fact that you've stolen literally everything else from that guy. Because no offense, Richard, you ain't nothing more than a dollar store Dwayne. So you know what I'm gonna start calling you? I'm gonna start calling you the pebble. And here's what's gonna happen next week in the main event of Dynamite, little pebble. (Pebble chants!! Loool) I'm gonna put you in my pocket. I'm gonna hop in my brand new Porsche, because unlike all these simple-minded humanoids, I'm actually rich. I'm gonna drive to the nearest body of water. I'm gonna take you out of my pocket, pebble, and I'm going to skip your scrawny little pigeon-toed ass all the way back to Billy Corgan's NWA, so you can wrestle on YouTube where you belong." GO OFF, MAX, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oohhhohoo my god, as that promo went on, I kept thinking it couldn't get any better, and it just kept getting better. I need a moment to collect myself off the floor.

Ricky chants from the crowd!! Starks calls MJF "Maxipad" and calls him a fifth-rate Roddy Piper wannabe. Starks says MJF smells like paint thinner and ass. Loool. Starks says everything about MJF screams cheap, including the cheap suits, the cheap shoes, the cheap heat. "With that AEW Championship comes a big responsibility that you know nothing about. The difference between you and me is that when these people got behind me, I gave them a reason to keep going. When they put faith in you, you let them down. But when it comes to Ricky, I deliver on time, every time, every night, every week, every month. You can take your little ass to Greece for three months, because you didn't get paid enough. But the fact remains, I've been here busting my ass. Let's talk about the fact that you avoid responsibility. You avoid any type of pressure. I show up to sign at meet and greets, where you don't care. You just blow it off, because hey, everybody hates Max, so he has nothing to lose, right? Guess what buddy? There comes a lot of responsibility when it comes to people actually liking you." Starks talks about living in his car, grinding, and providing for his family and says MJF knows nothing about that. "I'm gonna do you a favor that you've never had done in your life. I'm gonna take the responsibility off your plate, little boy."

MJF responds to this heartfelt speech with a swift low blow, and I am almost in tears because I am deranged. MJF winds up to hit Starks with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, but Starks stops it with a huge spear!!!

MJF was absolutely on fire here once again. I cannot adequately express how obsessed I am with him. I am staring at the TV with the most literal hearts in my eyes. Someone please help me. I have lost my grip on reality entirely. I am taken to another world when MJF speaks.

Starks did a great job here too. Some weird things came out of his mouth that I don't think he intended and he meandered a bit on the way to the point, but for the most part, he cut a good promo here. Starks is on the rise, but the contrast between him and MJF here is very apparent. Nonetheless, Starks managed to get me excited about him as MJF's challenger, where I wasn't really excited at all last week. Let's go!!!!!

Moxley promo up next. He says he is starting to like Hangman Page, because Page fell off his horse, dusted himself off, got back in the saddle, and did his talking with his fist. Moxley says there is too much talking in AEW lately. He says this is not All Elite Talking, and there is no Blackpool Microphone Club. Lol. Good stuff.

Samoa Joe (c) vs. Darby Allin for the TNT Championship -- Darby takes Joe off his feet with a dropkick! Joe to the outside. Darby tries to follow with his suicide dive, but Joe walks casually out of the way, leaving Darby to fall hard on the floor! Joe picks up Darby and swings his head into the barricade, then into the ring apron!!! Joe peels back the mats on the floor, bangs Darby's head into the apron, and tries to powerbomb Darby, but Darby reverses. Darby runs at Joe, but Joe intercepts and powerslams him HARD on the exposed floor!! Back in the ring, Joe takes Darby off his feet with a hard chop!! Darby with some shots to Joe's abdomen, but Joe takes him down again with a headbutt! Joe smashes Darby's head into the ringpost while Darby is on the apron! Darby bounces off the post to the floor! Darby gets back into the ring at 9! Big boot takes Darby down again! Huge senton by Joe! Outside again, Darby drives Joe into the ring steps, then lands a Coffin Drop from the top to Joe on the outside! Inside again, Darby hits a stunner and a CODE RED ON JOE!!!! Darby charges Joe in the corner, but Joe cuts him off with a huge STO!! Joe goes for the Muscle Buster, Darby stops it, but Joe neutralizes him with a HUGE chop!! Darby bites Joe's head!! This sends Joe stumbling off the top. Darby goes for a Coffin Drop, but Joe catches him in the Coquina Clutch!! Darby passes out!! Joe retains!!! I liked this match a lot. Great contrast of styles that made a great match. Both of these guys are so good.

Darby gets up and shoves Joe after the match. Joe takes Darby down with a headbutt, then lands a Muscle Buster on the wheels of Darby's skateboard!!!! Taz: "Live by the board, die by the board." Lmaoooo. Joe puts Darby out with the Coquina Clutch again!!! Wardlow comes out to stop Joe.

Backstage, Orange Cassidy tells Kip Sabian he doesn't have to attack him. If Kip wants a shot at the All Atlantic Championship, all he has to do is ask.

Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta vs. Daniel Garcia and Jake Hager -- This was solid. Good stuff between Yuta and Garcia here, as usual. Nice Claudio hot tag with a vicious, unrelenting series of uppercuts to Hager and a hurricanrana to Hager off the top!! Claudio gets the pinfall on Hager after reversing Hager's ankle lock, driving Hager into Garcia, and following with a big uppercut.

After the match, Schiavone shows Moxley, Castagnoli, and Yuta an interview he recorded a few weeks prior with Regal. Regal says people are only going to see this interview if something bad happens to him. Regal says the BCC doesn't need him anymore, but they wouldn't let him go, so he had to show them that they don't need him. Regal says Moxley is a very calculating man (looool), so he will understand this. Regal says the reason he did what he did at Full Gear was to teach the BCC the final thing he could teach them, which is to always keep eyes in the backs of their heads. Regal says he is BCC for life. Moxley and the BCC have no comment on this. Moxley basically ignores it and just says that after Final Battle, the BCC's war with the JAS is over. Weird. You'd think Moxley could address what Regal said.

Schiavone has a sit down interview with Jamie Hayter. She says she is going to be a reigning, defending, fighting champion. She says the winner of Shida vs. The Bunny on Rampage will get a shot at her title. Hayter is great here. She doesn't say much, but she comes off very cool and confident.

The Acclaimed (c) vs. FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championship -- Caster raps that FTR's name stands for find the remote. Loool. Beautiful side headlock takeovers and waist lock pinning combo by Cash on Bowens. Nice hip toss and pretty, pretty arm drag by Caster on Dax! Dax and Bowens trade chops! Dax goes for a Sharpshooter, but Caster reverses. Double Sharpshooters by Caster and Bowens on Dax and Cash! Outside, FTR send Bowens into the ring post and catapult Caster face first into the bottom of the ring apron!! Bowens gets a hot tag and takes out Dax and Cash. Flurry of strikes and kicks from Bowens to Dax!! German suplexes by Dax on Bowens!! Neck breaker on the knee from Bowens to Dax!! FTR land an assisted piledriver on Bowens, Dax performing the piledriver and Cash jumping off the second rope to assist in driving Bowens down into the ring!! Bowens kicks out!!! FTR have Bowens in position for a double vertical suplex, but Caster comes out of nowhere to spear Cash!! But Dax holds onto Bowens and rolls him up!!! Bowens kicks out! Big rolling elbow by Bowens!! Cazadora cutter combo by the Acclaimed on Dax!! Dax kicks out! FTR go for the Big Rig, but Caster reverses! The Acclaimed go for a Big Rig of their own, but Dax and Cash reverse! Dax sends Caster shoulder-first into the ring post in the corner, then FTR finally land the Big Rig on Caster!! Bowens barely makes it into the ring in time to break up the pin! Arrival by Bowens on Cash! Mic Drop attempt by Caster misses!! Huge back hand chop from Caster to Cash! Big lariat by Cash to take Caster off his feet!!! Caster kicks out! Two more HUGE lariats by Cash!!! Damn!!!!!!!!!! Powerbomb by Cash into a jacknife pinning combo, but Caster rolls through into a pinning combo of his own and steals the three count!!! This was really good. FTR continues to pull great matches out of everyone they wrestle. This was a good finish to allow The Acclaimed to retain without hurting FTR too much.

After the match, the Gunns read FTR a note from the Briscoes, challenging FTR to a double dog collar match for the ROH World Tag Tean Championships at Final Battle. Wow!!!!!! Hype!!!!

I saw death or stopped a suicide at 8. 9. 10. 13. 13. 17. And then nonstop since I was 18 and got training because it kept happening and I might as well have a sword and shield against it. Some wins, but death is the inevitable side of life and fighting death is like fighting the sky.

In 2021 I got to the homeless camps I was delivering food to, and found out the man I had talked to yesterday, given my sleeping bag to, had died of a heatwave and been found bloated that morning

Also in 2021 I was on my way to work at a hotel when I saw a car accident that had just happened. First on scene, watched a 19 year old kid die in front of me while telling the operator I knew CPR but didn't know how to do it when there were no soft parts of the face left

I stepped away from life and death shit. But my friend became suicidal and I got dragged back in. And then my roommate, who I've had to physically stop from committing suicide twice this year.

Last night I took my platonic cuddle buddy to the hospital bc he got baking soda in his eyes at work and needed to get checked out. He has no medical background, doesn't watch hospital shows other than when he watches House with me.

They called a code blue for the bed a few down from us. My friend asked what that was. I just said something like it was an emergency and they needed lots of help. I could hear them try to get someone back from her heart being stopped, hear the monitor screaming

I made a break for the vending machines and tbh to vape some weed in the parking lot. I figured she'd either be stabilized by the time I came back or it would be over.

I was wrong. I walked back in on the doctor calling her woman's spouse to make the notification that they weren't so far able to get her heart going. I passed as they started the CPR machine. CPR isn't like you see on movies. Ribs and sternums break. It's crushing someone in order to squish their heart to maybe move enough blood to keep their brain alive. The CPR machine does it even deeper and more punishingly than a human can. I could hear her bones breaking.

So I kept walking and sat back down with my friend and we watched House on my laptop. He was laughing at the show, I was listening to 10+ medics try heroic measures and still lose, 50 feet away

I've rarely felt more alone with a friend right beside me. But I'd already forced him to go sit in the ER until 3am just to get some dye squirted in his eyes. I wasn't gonna add death trauma to his night

We got home at 4am. And the second I stopped having to function I just started shaking and crying and went and threw up for a while. When I came back he was upset bc he thought it was just his eye shit upsetting me, so I explained.

He's really sweet and effusive so of course he was like "why didn't you tell me? I could have been there for you."

But again he's really sweet and cares so much. And I've seen so much shit bc I decided to turn to face into this storm. And I don't want that for him.

But I also know what it's like to feel helpless to help your friends and it's not fair of me to make him feel that helplessness

Idk what's right

– The Gilbert House – Magic Reset Button –

Stefan Salvatore: Hi Elena! Are you sure you want to go to the dance? Someone always dies at these things!

Elena Gilbert: Yeah, but it’s always someone unimportant!

Stefan Salvatore: You mean anyone other than you?

Elena Gilbert: Right! Oh, and speaking of unimportant, I wanted to make sure you weren’t upset over that minor, meaningless fifteen minute kiss-and-grope I shared with your brother in that seedy motel!

Stefan Salvatore: Nah, it’s cool. You made out with my brother, I murdered every sorority chick in Goergia … everybody makes mistakes.

– Mystic Falls High – Dance Floor of Doom –

Caroline Forbes: Hi Matt! I just wanted to tell you that Elena is spoken for, and you would have way better luck dating Rosey Palm. Seriously, the waiting list for Elena’s Magic Vajayjay is like three blocks long.

Tyler Lockwood: Hi Caroline! I’m here to challenge a thousand year old, unkillable, homicidal maniac for your affections! That’s a good plan, right?

Caroline Forbes: No?

Neville the Devilcorgipire: I want a fedora!

Elena Gilbert: Hi Stefan! You were alive in the twenties, right? Show me some moves!

Stefan Salvatore: Okay … Necksnap! Spinerip! Cardioectomy!

Elena Gilbert: …I meant dance moves.

Stefan Salvatore: Oh! Haha, what a wacky misunderstanding!

Elena Gilbert: Hey, Bonnie’s here! With her boyfriend!

Stefan Salvatore: Speaking of Bonnie … she isn’t still mad about us murdering her mother, is she?

Elena Gilbert: Nah, she’s probably over it.

Damon Salvatore: Hi guys! I’m here to cock block you with some completely unforeseeable danger!

– Mystic Falls – Hallway to Hell –

Elena Gilbert: Okay, we need to save Alaric from Evilaric! I vote we use the Care Bear Stare!

Stefan Salvatore: I vote we dry him out and compel him!

Damon Salvatore: I vote we just snap his neck!

Elena Gilbert: Wow! It’s like it’s Season One all over again!

– Mystic Falls High – Lockers of Loss –

Jeremy Gilbert: Hey Elena? About this “let’s kill Alaric”

Elena Gilbert: Don’t worry! Alaric is a good man and a good friend and a good drinking buddy and a good guy to talk about your sex life with and a good legal guardian and no one’s going to hurt him!

Jeremy Gilbert: I was just gonna say, if we kill Alaric, we’re gonna have to find someone else to pay the mortgage.

lmfao @ Damon being a cock blocker. They wrote him to interrupt Stelena over and over because she's his girlfriend. That's why he interrupts their 20s dance. Why he interrupts their make out scene in the woods. Why he interrupts their make out scene when she gets hit with werewolf venom. Why he interrupts them when they're celebrating her first feed. Why they pan to Damon at the prom when Elena asks Stefan, "What heart?" Damon's girlfriend, Damon's heart.

Elena is completely lying to Stefan, and they show it in scene. She was leaving Caroline a voicemail, turning to her for help with her diet issues. She stopped because she heard Stefan coming, and she was keeping her diet issues a secret from him. He was just so happy that he was able to help her. She then uses the council explosion as an excuse to see Damon, when she could've easily went to find Caroline and spoke to her in person as she was speaking to her in voicemail lol. When she tells Stefan about Damon taking her to college, she claims Caroline can't help her when she was leaving her a voicemail asking for her help. Again, an excuse to spend time with Damon. It's what happens when she knowingly chooses the brother she's not in love with.

2/2 Scene cuts to Britin having sex ‘OH SHIT. I was so focused on Brian, i lowkey forgot Blondie is also hot. Get it boys! (The scene is where Justin is on top of Brian riding him) okay, this had to be awkward to film, right? I mean I think I could do it since I’m not shy but this has to be awkward. Bro, if cancer didn’t kill him, Blondie’s ass is about to. (Brian says this has to be a top 5 and he pauses the ep) If this one is in the top 5, what are the other 4? The first time they fucked? After pride when they were all lovey dovey? Ohhh the office fuck? And um..I KNOW I KNOW! The one where blondie fucked Brian! Yeah, youre not slick Bri Bri! *starts ep again* BRIAN IS GONNA BE IN THE MARATHON?! HE is the renowned humanitarian? HES GONNA RIDE A BIKE THROUGH PITTSBURGH? i want to is a really good reason. CANADA?! THEYRE RIDING TO CANADA?! What the fuck? Wait, does that mean that they will ride bikes together? ADORABLE.’ ‘Okay Melanie. You can be hurt and a bitch but no need to be all biphobic. What the fuck? Please tell me this isn’t how gays are anymore towards bis.’ ‘DREW AND EMY ARE AT THE CLUB?! HE ACTUALLY WENT OUT FOR EM! Get it Em! Oh it was just a dream. He took him to an empty restaurant? Fuck him. Emy, I’ll take you out on a date!..fans coming up every two minutes? Who does this guy think he is? Oprah? Fuck him. Id get more fans than him, for sure.

HOW DID HE GET IT? That is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS YOU LIL SHITHEAD! Excuse you. So because he had sex with her daughter she thinks that gives her the right to know HOW HE GOT IT?! GIRL MIND YOUR BUSINESS cause this ain’t it. NO HUNTER SHUSH DONT TELL THEM SHIT.’ And now we are at spin class ‘so tell me again, why was I deprived of Brian and Justin being workout buddies? Brian baby, you cant do this. You have cancer! Or had. I no longer know what’s up with him. He’s not okay. JUSTIN STOP HIM SINCE HES NOT LISTENING TO ME. Although he listens to Blondie even less than me. Brian. Please stop. IS HE OKAY? Blondie go after him! Why isn’t Blondie going after him?’ ‘Oh no, did she find out Emmett is the other woman?! OH NO. This is all Drews fault. Well Emmetts also but still. SHE WANTS HIM TO PLAN THE WEDDING?! Oh no. Girl.. i think Emmett knows your man more than you know your man. Emy turn her down! You can’t be fucking the groom!’ And we are back to Hunter and Callie ‘HE TOLD THEM? So he fucked men, who hasn’t? I mean, I haven’t but like I think I could show Brian a good time.. what do you think? *looks at me like all this was normal* don’t look at me like that. I could do it!’ ‘Aw Brian and Justin…and Ted. Brian, it’s okay to not be able to do stuff yet. You just got healthy. YES DEBBIE! Finally something smart out of your mouth. Make him live a long life! *throws a fist in the air* YEAH BRIAN! LONG LIFE AND HAPPY AND ALL THAT BULLSHIT’ ‘NO EMMETT NO! WHY ARE WE BACK AT THE MOTEL? Why is no one is listening to me?

Really? He’s still working out? Okay but that first shot before it shows he’s on a bike? Hot. Yeah, i said it. Hot. So he’s really doing this, huh? Well great now I’m worried for more than just cancer’ he then got up to call our mom and tell her that Brian is doing a bike marathon for charity and I quote ‘aren’t you proud? Charity mom! He’s giving back to the people. All while looking pretty’ I think it’s safe to say he has an actual crush on Gale at this point.

Bro, if cancer didn’t kill him, Blondie’s ass is about to. (Brian says this has to be a top 5 and he pauses the ep) If this one is in the top 5, what are the other 4? The first time they fucked? After pride when they were all lovey dovey? Ohhh the office fuck? And um..I KNOW I KNOW! The one where blondie fucked Brian! Yeah, youre not slick Bri Bri!

BROTHER IS ALL OF US. OMG

The Drew, Emy, whatsherface situation is so awkward but also sadly realistic! I hate it but I’m glad it was a storyline.

And yes being bisexual is fucking illegal on this show. Your brother’s right and he should say it. It’s so gross.

He has the biggest crush on Gale… he’s drooling over the sex scenes and the gym scenes. I’m dying.

[needs-to-stop-looking-at-valves]

Can we get a story for when Luisa was born?

OH MY GOD I ACTUALLY HAVE JUST A STORY. Ya'll want lil angst? YOU GONNA GET IT

"What's so funny?"

Agustín looked down at his little angel, who just giggled and grabbed his nose.

"Big!"

"Yes, your Papi's nose is big-all the more to snuggle you with!"

He buried his nose in her cheek as she giggled. Julieta was busy making dinner downstairs, so of course Agustín watched his little girl. She was so small, so precious to him. Could there be anything cuter?

"Agustín! Mi amor! It's time to eat!"

"Coming! You hear that? Time to get some food in this little belly!"

He kissed said belly before bringing her downstairs to the dining table. Everyone else was there already, with Pepa and Dolores looking...well. Like they've just woken up. Abuela frowned at their manes of messy hair.

"Pepa? How can you and the baby come down looking like this?"

"....what?"

Félix chuckled as he slid a cup of coffee over to Pepa.

"Sorry, Abuela. Pepa and Dolores had a four hour nap and it's hitting hard."

"What YEAR is it? Genuinely I dunno."

Agustín chuckled as Isa leaned over to smack her cousin's arm a few times, seeming to try to wake her up.

"Isa, she'll wake up, I promise! Come on, eat. Look, mami made you your favorite!"

His daughter absolutely loved mashed plantains, more than anything. He even let her have the spoon to try to feed herself, finding it adorable. He helped her get some onto the spoon, and he felt like he'd burst into tears as she smeared it against Dolores's face, trying to share. Course, she just got it all over her face, but that didn't matter, thought that counts. Abuela lost her glare at Pepa in order to help clean them both.

"You're raising such a caring little girl, Agustín. It's bad enough she's the cutest baby in the whole Encanto."

Agustín grinned at her as Julieta started to set the grown up food on the table.

"She's precious to me, Abuela. I still can't believe we HAVE a little girl, even after all this time."

Agustín was about to tuck into his dinner, when he noticed Bruno was helping himself to dessert already. Macarons.

"Oh, you made those! They're so cute! What'd you put on them?"

Bruno slid the basket over to him, and he studied the pink little treats. Félix leaned over to try to look over at the pattern.

"It kinda looks like a person."

"Doesn't it? It looks so small, like a b-"

No. Surely he was over thinking it. He looked at her, and she nodded, lightly patting Isa's head.

"Someone is going to be a sister. Bruno had another vision- it's a little girl."

Félix laughed as he shook his buddy's frame, clearly in celebration.

"Woo! Been BUSY eh amigo? Congratulations! Pepa are we-"

"Nope, just her this time."

Abuela looked proud as could be. She raised her glass up.

"Salut, Agustín! Here's to another miracle!"

Agustín couldn't believe it. He didn't stop fussing over his wife and his little girl, long after dinner. He fell asleep that night, somehow, without too much fanfare.

Or so he thought.

"Agustín. Agustín."

Agustín groaned as he got up, only to have a heart attack upon seeing those big, green eyes peering down at him. He should've been surprised, but honestly, this seemed like Bruno appropriate behavior.

"Mierda, Bruno- could you knock?"

"Didn’t want to wake up Julieta. I need to tell you something. You only."

Agustín carefully got out of bed and followed Bruno outside. Bruno had to help keep him from falling as he guided him to the roof. They looked at the stars for a while, Bruno clearly stalling.

"Bruno. It's late, and I don't get a lot of sleep-"

"I had another vision before bed. A lot of times these visions just happen, even if I don't want them to. When I had visions of Isabela and Dolores, those were good ones. But...I had a vision that you need to see."

Bruno handed him the slate he was keeping in his ruana. Julieta was looking at what he assumed was their new baby, only she wasn't...smiling. She was crying. He knew that face, and it held only sadness.

"What...what does this mean?"

Bruno scratched at his facial hair, fumbling with his thoughts.

"The vision wasn't clear. But my guess is...your baby won't be born healthy. From what I could gather, she will grow weak. I tried to look further, I hate keeping you guys in the dark, but my headaches. You know how they get."

Agustín felt his heart sink to his stomach. His new baby was going to be born sick? Was his baby going to. Going to-

"Why didn't we tell Julieta this?"

Bruno nervously rubbed his arm, still refusing to meet his eyes.

"Because this feels like something you should tell her. I don't know when you wanna say it, but I...I can't. She's my sister. I can't bear to see her face when I tell her that her baby will be sick. Especially after tonight. Everyone was so happy and...I'm so sorry, this is why I hate doing visions of the fam...Agustín?"

He knew he shouldn't be crying. He was trying not to. But tears were streaming down his face, the slate shook in his hands, and his world was crumbling around him.

"I. Is it. Is it my fault, Bruno? Is it me that made her like that? What did we do to deserve this? Especially Julieta. Oh dios, Julieta."

Everything was spinning. He wanted to scream. And he would've had the whole Casita hear him yell, had Bruno not wrapped his arms around him, and pull him into a hug.

"You cry and scream all you want. This...hurts me too, knowing this. I'm here for you, hermano."

And cry he did. Agustín clung to him, and cried, and screamed, all into his shoulder. Bruno held him for a long time, enough for the sun to start peaking into the horizon. Agustin pulled away, wiping his face clean.

"I'm. I'm okay. We'll be okay."

"You sure?"

"Si. Thank you, Bruno. I...I hate to ask you a favor."

"Name it."

"Don't tell anyone else. I need to think of when will be a good time."

"...I won't say a word."

They made it down from the roof and into their respective rooms without another word to one another. Agustín immediately went to his closet, and tucked the vision away. For now, nobody needs to know.

------------------

"Mi amor?"

Agustín was currently helping Julieta in the kitchen, mainly with things that he couldn't mess up, like washing the vegetables and occasionally feeding Isabela little pieces of cut up fruits. She loved her fruit and vegetables like a good little baby. She seemed to realize something was amiss, given the tone of her little voice.

"Mami?"

Julieta grabbed onto her big stomach, holding onto the counter simultaneously. Then she looked at him, nodding quickly.

"Now. It's happening now."

"Now? Now wha-oh! Oh my god- okay okay, easy, breathe! Pepa! Félix!"

He called out into the living room, and they immediately rushed in. Félix, ever the capable friend, wrapped an arm around Julieta, gesturing to Pepa.

"Watch the girls, turn off the stove. I'm going to help them to her room, and I'll go get Abuela. If you see Bruno, tell him to go get the doctor."

It was just as chaotic as Isabela's birth. Scrambling, panic, making sure everything was in order and comforting the woman in question. She was incredible, taking it all in stride, and handling it all so well. Despite the fact that she was worried about Isabela, despite not getting dinner done, and despite the snowstorm Pepa was whipping outside in her worry. Agustín was with her the whole time, in absolute loving support, same as he always was.

Then she came, and she was precious. Julieta held her in her arms, weary, exhausted.

"Ho...you were not easy, little one. But you're here."

"She's beautiful, Julieta. Should we let everyone see them now?"

"Later. Right now, I need to sleep. I...I just want to hold her, Agustín."

And held her she did, even in her deep sleep. Agustín looked down at their bundle, and hoped that Bruno's visions were wrong. Unfortunately, they weren't. They never were.

It started on the day after she was born. She would not eat enough. The next day, the same thing. At first, everyone just frowned at the news. Then, everyone felt dread. The clouds felt dread at the news that their little baby stopped eating entirely. Julieta sat at her bed, trying over and over to get the little one to eat, even to cry. But their little one, Luisa, refused to do anything. Agustín walked in, a tray of hot food in his hands.

"My parents made dinner again. They wanted to see you, but I told them that you were too tired. How...how is she?"

"Agustín she won't eat! She looks so pale and I keep having to see if she's still breathing. Agustín..."

Her eyes met his, and he immediately crumbled as tears welled in hers.

"Is she going to die?"

He's waited too long to tell her. He should feel ashamed. He sighed, set the bowl down, and dug into the closet, pulling out the slate.

"I should've told you this before. But Bruno had this vision of...exactly this."

She looked at the vision, and her face when from tears, to anger.

"You hid this from me?"

"I just wanted you to have her first, I know you'd be too stressed and it could hurt her and-"

"BRUNO hid this from me?"

Oh no. She got up, baby in one hand, slate in the other, and practically stomping down the steps.

"Julieta, wait-"

"BRUNO!!!"

The poor guy looked scared shitless. Understandable, Julieta angry was a rare, and terrifying sight. Bruno looked at the slate, then at Agustín.

"You told her NOW?!"

"Don't you rope my husband into this! You could've told me, but no! I understand why he waited to tell me, but my brother?!"

"Julie, please-"

"No! I'm angry because this doesn't just affect me, Bruno! This affects my CHILDREN and-"

"Mami?"

Her face fell upon seeing her other little girl. Isa was standing there, a bottle of formula in her hands. Pepa gave an apologetic smile.

"She's been asking so much about the baby, so I thought we'd make your recipe for formula and...is everything okay?"

Julieta wanted to yell more, Agustín could tell. But instead, she sighed, and knelt down.

"Thank you for caring for your sister, mija. But she...doesn't want to eat. I-"

"Try?"

Isa gestured the bottle towards the little one, and Julieta, heart melting, decided she could at least try. She instructed her on how she would personally feed her, and they expected yet another bout of fuss. Only, they didn't get that. They watched in fascination as the little one not only ate, but ate the whole thing. They all looked at Isabela, who seemed confused by all the staring she was getting.

"How...did you do that, mija?"

Isabela shrugged, clearly having no clue. Julieta clasped a hand over her mouth in disbelief, and Agustín knelt down to her, making her look up at his face.

"You just did something very important for your mami, Isa. You helped Luisa, like a good big sister. Do you think you can keep doing that for us? Help her get strong?"

Isa nodded, and Agustín & Julieta knelt down to give her a good squeeze. He watched as Isa looked at little Luisa, with a sense of wonder and affection. He was so lucky to have them both.

-------------------

"Lulu, mija! Real quick, before you go!"

He stopped his girls before they ran out to go play. Isa had her hands on her little sister's shoulders, and he was so proud of her, taking responsibility for her sister, since Luisa was born. Luisa took the bag from her dad's hands, frowning.

"But papi, I'm not hungry."

"You skipped breakfast, and you didn't eat dinner. Please eat some of it, your mami made it just for you."

Luisa didn't seem convinced, before Isabela grinned down at her.

"If you eat, we'll take a peek at your door when we get back home!"

Luisa was four days away from her big day, and to say she was excited, was putting it lightly. Luisa jumped on her feet a bit as she looked at her dad.

"Can we? PLEASE, papi?!"

"Only if you eat. And Isa is going to tell me if you did. Can you promise you'll eat?"

Luisa hesitated, before nodding.

"I promise, I'll eat something."

"There we go! Now who's my strong girl?"

"Me!"

He flexed alongside her, absolutely adoring her little smile. She struggled with wanting to eat, even as a baby, but she was improving. Luisa ran out, eager to go play, and Agustín couldn't resist kissing Isa's head, just real quick.

"You're a wonderful sister, Isa. If you see anything you guys want to have at the square, neiva or pan dulce-"

Isa tucked a flower behind his ear, smiling.

"I got it, papi. She's my sister, I'll take care of her. Now I gotta go, I need to catch up. Luisa!"

She ran after her sister, and Agustín sighed. He hoped that whatever gift she'd get, it'd make her strong.

That's all he wanted for her.
