X MARKS THE SPOT!

pairings: retired f1 drivers x retired f1 legend!yn.

faceclaim: jessica alba.

summary: being the first-ever female f1 world champion was hard enough. writing a tell-all about it, including all the details of your beef with that former driver? let’s just say the track wasn’t the only place things got heated.

warnings: mentions of misogyny. like a lot. so if that is something that makes you uncomfortable, please don’t read!! your comfort comes first <3

author’s note: ignore timeline issues!! this was all inspired by that one anon who said something about yn writing a tell-all. if you liked this, maybe send me an ask? :D

now part of a trilogy!

user10: this was always going to happen when you allowed women into f1. ruined the sport. she was nothing but a distraction on the grid.

“SHE’S NOT THAT FAST — SHE JUST GETS LUCKY SOMETIMES. THAT’S ALL IT IS. RIGHT CAR — RIGHT TIME. LUCKY GIRL SYNDROME.” — a senior mclaren engineer.

dedicated to everyone who ever rooted for me. thank you.

EXCERPT FROM LUCKY GIRL SYNDROME.

by yn yln.

when i signed with mclaren in 2013, i thought i was living my dream.

i was the only female driver on the grid, paired with jenson button—a world champion, a household name, and, to some, a certified heartthrob. they already loved calling him “promiscuous” in the press, and suddenly there i was: the pretty young woman who happened to drive fast. to them, we weren’t drivers—we were a brand. two good-looking people in shiny cars. and that label stuck.

from the start, i wasn’t taken seriously. i’d show up to meetings and realize they’d given me the wrong time—jenson would already be there, halfway through strategising with the team. he always looked uncomfortable when i walked in late, knowing i wasn’t told the same things he was.

“you’re here now,” he’d say, smiling politely, trying to ease the tension. i liked him. he wasn’t the problem. he was respectful, and if anyone made an offhand comment about me, he’d interject with a joke to cut through the awkwardness. but even his kindness couldn’t fix what was fundamentally wrong.

my first podium was a moment i’d worked my entire life for. it was a race where i drove faster than jenson, faster than most of the grid. but the photo they posted of me on the team’s social media wasn’t of me crossing the finish line, or holding my trophy.

it was me in the garage, leaning over the car, my race suit unzipped halfway down. the caption didn’t even mention the podium. it was just… my body. i couldn’t stomach looking through the comments.

i’ll never forget calling my dad that night. he was furious. he asked me why i didn’t make a fuss. why i didn’t storm into the team’s office and demand better treatment. but what he didn’t understand was that it wasn’t that simple. you’re the only woman in a room full of men, and they’re already waiting for you to slip up. waiting for you to show too much emotion, to prove them right when they think women are too “dramatic” to handle the job.

so i kept my head down. i smiled at the cameras, laughed at the jokes, and drove my ass off every weekend. and every time i was faster than jenson, every time i outqualified him or finished ahead, they’d say, “she got lucky.” when he beat me, they’d say, “see? this is why she doesn’t belong here.” it was a game i couldn’t win.

being the first woman on the grid wasn’t just about being fast. it was about being everything they didn’t expect me to be: calm, collected, agreeable. i couldn’t afford to push back because i knew they’d use it against me. so i swallowed it all, every little slight, every dismissive comment, every missed opportunity. i thought if i just kept my head down and drove, eventually, i’d earn their respect.

but now, looking back, i realize… they were never going to respect me. not really. not as a driver. they respected what i did for their brand, for their image. they respected how well i played the part. but as a person, as an athlete? i was just another pretty face to them. nothing more. and that’s what hurt the most.

Discussion Thread:

“Lucky Girl Syndrome” by YN YLN: Thoughts, Reactions, and the Drama It’s Stirred Up.

──────────────────────

u/checkeredpast: just finished lucky girl syndrome, and WOW. she did not hold back. calling out mclaren for the way they treated her, the “wrong meeting times” sabotage, and the completely inappropriate podium photo… i can’t believe this stuff actually happened.

u/fastlaneandfurious: the part where she talks about the team using her as a “walking brand strategy” instead of a driver broke my heart. like, they wanted her to be the face of the team but refused to actually treat her like a serious athlete.

u/f1fanfiction: let’s talk about the fact that she outsold literally every sports memoir in history. 2 million copies sold in the first week. yn doesn’t just break records on the track, apparently.

u/nosteeringallowed: her calling out the media for labeling her as “lucky” after she beat half the grid is ICONIC. “they didn’t call my male teammates lucky—they called them skilled.” like, yes queen, drag them.

u/ynsthegoat: what got me was the chapter about the infamous team dinner where they wouldn’t even let her speak during strategy talk. then she went out and out-qualified jenson the next day.

u/overqualifiedandundervalued: “they said i was lucky, but luck doesn’t drive faster laps or win races. luck didn’t make me the first woman to win a championship—it was skill, it was hard work, and it was me.” CHILLS. absolute chills.

u/gridgossip: is no one going to talk about the tea she spilled on that one driver? the “polite but condescending” comments she got from him while he constantly undermined her. we KNOW it’s about seb.

u/wheresthefinishline: @ u/gridgossip no no no, it’s def about fernando. she’s been shady about him for years, and the way she described the “overly competitive teammate who couldn’t handle being outpaced by a woman” fits him perfectly.

u/holygrailpodium: the inappropriate photo after her first podium makes me so mad every time. she’s standing there in tears, holding the trophy, and they choose to post a picture of her leaning over the car with her suit half-open?? disgusting.

u/gaslitandgridlocked: her dad being her biggest defender was such a beautiful part of the book, though. “why do you stay quiet when you’re the fastest in the room?” hit me right in the heart.

u/podiumqueen: not me crying over how she kept driving through all of this, knowing they didn’t want her there. like, the strength it must’ve taken to win races when her own team wasn’t even rooting for her.

u/championshipenergy: the way she calls out how different her career would’ve been if she were a man was SO POWERFUL. “they didn’t need me to be fast, they needed me to be pretty. they got both, and they still weren’t satisfied.”

u/mimosasontherace: i can’t stop thinking about the last chapter where she talks about winning her first championship and how no one in her team even hugged her when the cameras switched off. like, they couldn’t even fake happiness for her.

u/driversanddivas: this book isn’t just a memoir; it’s a reckoning. yn exposed everyone who doubted her and proved that no matter what they threw at her, she came out on top. lucky girl syndrome my ass—she EARNED that title.

u/lightsoutandread: imagine being on the grid right now, knowing you were one of the people she called out. the absolute awkwardness.

u/trophiesandtrauma: if you’re on the fence about reading this, DO IT. it’s not just about racing—it’s about breaking barriers, sexism, and resilience. honestly, it deserves all the success it’s getting.

u/checkeredpast: she’s already announced a limited series deal with a streaming platform. you KNOW it’s going to be messy when they dramatize the “wrong meeting times” scene.

u/bookishracer: “lucky girl syndrome” is officially my book of the year. yn didn’t just tell her story; she made sure no one could ever erase it again.

ham1ltonshaderoom: f1 legend and now best selling author, yn yln, took to harper’s bazaar to discuss writing and her career. however, her memoir went viral for more than its record breaking sales. yln mentioned that there was a certain driver that would be her biggest fan in public and then undermine her in public. it has been dubbed ‘x marks the spot’, with the hashtag gaining major traction on social media. what do you think ham1ltons? and who do you think the supposed driver could be?

──────────────────────

‘there was one driver who always seemed to go out of his way to remind me i didn’t belong. he wasn’t on my team, but his presence always lingered—sharp, dismissive, condescending. let’s call him x. in interviews, he’d say all the right things, calling me a “trailblazer” and claiming he respected what i brought to the sport. but in the paddock, it was another story. during press conferences, he’d interrupt me, throwing in some smug joke that made everyone laugh but left me feeling small. once, during a rain delay, he walked past my garage and casually remarked to my engineer, loud enough for me to hear, “well, at least she’ll look good sliding off the track.” and when i won my first race, beating him in the process, he didn’t say a word. no handshake, no congratulations—just a quick glance and he was gone. i’ll never know why he went out of his way to belittle me, but in the end, i didn’t care. that win wasn’t for him. it was for me.’

user1: it’s definitely fernando. they’ve never liked each other, and he’s always been salty when anyone’s faster than him.

-> user2: nah, it can’t be fernando. he’s competitive, but he’s never outright disrespectful. i’m thinking nico.

-> user1: girl that’s the point 😭 x was never openly disrespectful.

user3: okay but what about lewis? we KNOW their relationship wasn’t always great. remember how tense they were in interviews back then?

-> user4: no way it’s lewis. he’s literally said she’s one of the most talented drivers he’s raced against.

-> user5: lewis can say nice things now, but what if he wasn’t like that back then? she didn’t say the guy stayed disrespectful. she also said x was nice in public, who knew what he was saying in private.

user6: everyone’s ignoring seb, but she’s shaded him before. what if it’s him?

-> user7: yn has ALWAYS defended seb. if anything, he was one of the few drivers who actually supported her. it’s not him.

user8: it has to be fernando. the whole paragraph is giving fernando energy, and you know it.

-> user9: nah, i still think it’s nico. remember when he threw shade at her in a press conference after she outqualified him?

user10: you’re all wrong. it’s michael. she’s talked about how intimidating he was to race against, and she never got along with him.

-> user11: yn literally called michael one of her idols. she’d never write about him like that.

user12: y’all are missing the obvious answer—kimi. he’s the only one who would say something that blunt and not care about the fallout.

-> user13: kimi didn’t even talk to her half the time lol. i can’t see him caring enough to belittle her.

user14: okay, what if it’s no one we’re expecting? maybe it’s some random mid-grid guy like grosjean or massa.

-> user15: yn wouldn’t waste a whole chapter on someone irrelevant. it has to be one of the big names. my money’s on fernando or nico.

-> user1: fernando for sure. yn’s always been lowkey bitter about him, and this just proves it.

-> user2: it’s not fernando!! why can’t you just accept that some drivers are cocky without it being him??

-> user3: okay but if it’s not fernando, who else would it be?? the smug comments SCREAM his vibe.

user5: we’re all arguing, but yn’s probably laughing at us right now. she KNEW we’d be doing this.

user16: yn ‘attention whore’ yln.

user17: at least we know it wasn’t my king jb 😻

user18: idk who tf yn is but this tea is so juicy 😭

[setting: thanksgiving dinner, complete chaos. plates of food are half-eaten, wine glasses are full, and cousin jess is recording everything on tiktok. the family is deep into an argument about “x marks the spot,” using jess’s infamous powerpoint as reference.]

uncle bob: jess, i still don’t get why you made a whole powerpoint about this.

cousin jess: because the people need to know, uncle bob. yn’s memoir is the drama of the decade, and you’re welcome for organizing all the evidence.

aunt carol: honestly, it’s that fernando. slide four proves it. all the press conferences where he interrupted her? it’s right there.

aunt fiona: fernando wasn’t that bad. he even congratulated her in, like, 2017. i think it’s nico. slide eight, jess literally wrote “petty king energy” under his name.

uncle hamish: it’s not nico. you’re all overthinking this. i say it’s jenson. didn’t he once call her “intense” in an interview?

cousin matt: jenson literally defended her against the media every other week, hamish. you clearly didn’t listen to slide six.

grandpa: i still don’t understand why this yn person didn’t just punch the guy.

grandma: because she has class, unlike this family. pass the stuffing.

aunt bobbi: wait, what about lewis? slide ten said they were “friendly but complicated.” maybe he was fake-nice to her.

uncle craig: fake-nice? lewis was the only one who liked her, bobbi. slide nine has like five examples of him hyping her up in interviews.

cousin jess: uncle craig, you’re wrong. he was supportive, but there’s that one time he ignored her after she beat him in qualifying. it’s suspicious.

aunt carol: you think it’s suspicious? no way. lewis isn’t smug enough to be x.

uncle hamish: oh please, you’re all just picking names because they sound dramatic. if anything, it was sebastian.

aunt fiona: seb? absolutely not. slide seven shows he called her “one of the best drivers on the grid” multiple times.

uncle bob: that’s suspicious. who compliments people that much unless they’re guilty?

grandma: compliments aren’t guilt, bob. stop eating the cranberry sauce straight from the bowl and get a grip.

aunt carol: you’re all wrong. slide four, people! fernando cutting her off mid-sentence! the man’s guilty as sin.

grandpa: why does anyone care about this? it’s all rich people in fancy cars. sounds like nonsense.

cousin matt: rich people drama is the best kind of drama, grandpa.

aunt bobbi: jess, why is kimi’s slide just a picture of him smoking with “#needthat” written under it?

cousin jess: because kimi’s innocent. everyone knows he doesn’t care about anything but being my dream man.

uncle craig: so why isn’t yn on the slide about drivers who were universally liked?

cousin jess: because she wasn’t universally liked, uncle craig. she was fast, hot, and female in a male-dominated sport. they were all salty.

uncle bob: well, now they’re all posting about how much they respect her.

grandma: of course they are. it’s called covering their asses.

uncle hamish: if i were yn, i’d name names. all this mystery is just fueling conspiracy theories.

grandpa: or she could just leave it alone so we don’t have to argue about it at thanksgiving. what the hell even is f1? is that nascar?

uncle craig: formula 1, dad. jesus, keep up.

grandma (snapping): if someone doesn’t pass me the cranberry sauce right now, i’m gonna be the next x.

[jess pans the camera to her grandma glaring at the table, muttering under her breath as the family keeps arguing.]

cousin jess (whispering into her phone): y’all, my family is losing it over x marks the spot. happy thanksgiving.

ham1ltonshaderoom: an update on the ‘x marks the spot’ speculation. it started over who exactly is x, from f1 legend yn yln’s memoir and it is causing a stir! with former/current drivers taking to social media and journalists to prove their innocence. kimi räikkönen, when asked, said ‘yn deserved every win she got. people talked too much, but she let her driving do all the talking. always respected that about her.’

mick schumacher released a statement via instagram, with a montage of photos of him and his dad with the first female championship winner: ‘my dad always believed yn was one of the most talented drivers he’d ever seen. he admired her strength, her skill, and her ability to prove everyone wrong, time and time again. he spoke so highly of her and what she brought to the sport, and i know he’d be so proud to see her telling her story.’ when sebastian vettel made a rare appearance to the grid, he confirmed that he had bought a copy and thought that he was proud to watch yn ‘make history’.

now the sudden flurry of support is making fans of the sport wonder just who is genuine and who is covering his ass? what do you think ham1ltons?

user1: the way literally everyone is tripping over themselves to prove it’s not them is SO funny. one of you is lying, and we will figure it out.

-> user20: exactly!! the fact that EVERYONE is suddenly posting/talking feels so suspicious lmao. someone’s definitely guilty, and they’re trying to throw us off the scent.

user2: kimi’s response is so him. short, straight, and unbothered. it’s definitely not him.

-> user22: we’re all analysing this, but kimi’s out here just vibing like always. love that man.

user3: mick’s statement is beautiful and wholesome as always, but also low-key throwing shade at the others?? like, ‘my dad always supported her’ is giving ‘can’t say the same for you lot.’

-> user21: honestly, mick’s post is the only one that feels 100% genuine. his dad was always so supportive of yn.

user4: seb really said ‘i bought the book’ and dipped. man didn’t even deny anything outright. sus??

-> user5: nah, seb’s always been a yn fanboy. remember when he called her ‘the most talented driver on the grid’? it’s not him.

user6: the lewis and nico posts are giving major ‘damage control’ energy. both of them trying WAY too hard to sound supportive.

-> user7: facts. lewis called her a ‘trailblazer’ like we wouldn’t notice how cold things were between them back in the day.

-> user17: tbh, i don’t think it’s lewis. yn has said before that he was always encouraging her, and they’ve stayed friendly.

user8: fernando’s post feels so rehearsed. like, when has he ever gushed over yn like that before??

user9: low-key think it’s nico. man was so salty about literally everything back then, and the ‘petty king’ vibes match the memoir perfectly.

-> user10: yesss, especially the part where she said he didn’t congratulate her after her first win. sounds EXACTLY like something nico would do.

user11: not enough people are talking about jenson. just because he was her teammate doesn’t mean he’s innocent. the whole ‘answer my texts’ thing was cute, but he’s a smooth talker.

-> user12: nah, yn always spoke highly of jenson. he had her back when mclaren was treating her like a sex toy. i’m ruling him out.

user13: so we’re all just ignoring that fernando spent YEARS shading her in press conferences? india ‘13 is permanently engraved in my brain.

-> user18: can’t lie, if it’s fernando, i’ll be disappointed but not surprised. his 2013 energy was… a lot.

user14: honestly, they’re all acting sketchy. the sudden love bomb of support is too much. one of you is x and we will find out.

user15: plot twist: what if x isn’t even one of the obvious names? imagine it’s someone random like felipe massa lmao.

-> user16: watch it not even be one of the main suspects and we’ve been dragging the wrong guy this whole time 💀

user18: it’s giving ‘we need to get ahead of the narrative’ vibes, and i’m here for the chaos.

-> user19: everyone’s pr team is in OVERDRIVE rn lmfaoooo

Note

heyy when you have the time to do so, can i request college!suna x reader angst to fluff where reader tries to spend time with suna but they get into an argument where he decides to spend time with his athlete friend group but then feels guilty and make up with reader through heart to heart conversation? 🫶🏻sorry if this is so long i have no idea how to make the prompt shorter but honestly i love all the fics you post so idc if you change it up a bit just thought i’d give an idea

𝐅𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇

pairing: suna rintaro x gen!neutral reader

genre: hurt/comfort

content: you confront him about the growing distance in your relationship, something he's been dismissing for a while, until he finally grasps the seriousness of the situation

cw: suna is a bit harsh; arguments but they make up <3

a/n: hihi anon! ty for requesting and i hope it's to your liking :D i'm still accepting requests for my 1k event so feel free to send more into my inbox!

"it's like i never see you anymore!"

suna and you have been in this back and forth argument for what felt like an eternity and it's draining the life out of you.

suna has been preoccupied with the upcoming inter-collegiate volleyball tournament. as a starter on the prestigious division 1 ejp raijin volleyball team, the arduous practices and pressure have been taking a heavier toll than expected on him.

as a result of this, suna has been incredibly distant in your relationship. he was always gone before you woke up in the morning and didn't return until after you fell asleep. every time you tried to plan a date or suggest something to do together, he somehow always cancels. it's always, "sorry i have to run some extra drills. maybe another day?"

it's exhausting putting this much effort into your relationship when it all seems in vain.

you've tried bringing this up to suna before, mentioning how you would like to spend more time together. but suna, being suna, always brushed it off. but there's only so much dismissal you can take.

you really miss your boyfriend.

but you're not sure he misses you the way you miss him.

"y/n you can't expect me to drop everything for you! like fuck, i have a life outside of you," he exclaims, snapping you back to the current argument at hand.

"i didn't say that, rin."

"that's what you're trying to say," he replies, crossing his arms over his chest.

you shake you head, lowering your voice. "i know volleyball always has and always will be a top priority for you but i just wish... well, it would be nice if you could put a bit of effort into our relationship."

"what if i don't even want to anymore..." he mumbles under his breath as he walks to the closet, grabbing a coat.

the rage in your heart and mind now simmer down to a feeling of dread and heartbreak. what?

as he turns around, he sends an icy glare at you. you've never seen this side of him and you refuse to let him see you crumble apart in front of him. you refuse to break down right now.

"you don't want to what, suna?" you look at him, tone icy cold. "go on. tell me."

the heated environment is making his mind all cloudy and he wants to end this conversation now.

"you know what i mean, y/n. i'm going out. don't call me."

the door opens and slams shut.

the moment the door closes, you're completely still. you're running on autopilot. you find yourself making a cup of tea and sitting at the dining table, looking at the empty, lifeless apartment sprawled in front of you.

subconsciously, the tears started to roll. i guess that's it then. i think i better start packing my things. i should be gone by the time he comes back home.

meanwhile, suna makes his way downtown to the bar where some of his volleyball friends had invited him out for a couple drinks. he opens the door to the bar and he can hear the familiar rowdiness of his friends.

"well, well, well, if it ain't the infamous sunarin from ejp," a familiar blonde comes running to him. "been too long since i've seen ya stupid ass."

"yeah yeah whatever asshole," suna slaps the back of atsumu and nods over at osamu who's sitting on the table. "it's good to see you both."

as suna and atsumu head to the table in the back with the rest of his friends, his mind can't help but linger back to the argument that he had with you. but he decides to shake his mind off it.

he's here to have fun with his friends right now. not be worried about you.

"you didn't bring y/n tonight?" komori, suna's teammate, asks. "i haven't seen them in a hot minute. what've they been up to?"

what have you been up to? he doesn’t know. when was the last time we both had an actual conversation? he doesn’t know. he doesn’t even know what's been going on in your life lately. fuck this is what y/n meant.

he forces a smile, masking the bitter thoughts playing in his mind. "they're good. just doing their classes and stuff."

"ah right, well bring them by sometime! it's been too long since i've seen them. they never fail to light up the room with their presence."

"yeah you're right."

he nods, taking small sips from the beer in front of him.

as the conversation and chaos ensue among his friends, his mind keeps drifting back to the memories of the argument he walked out on. his mind has cooled off and a sense of guilt starts to take over his body.

here he is having fun with his friends while you're at home all alone, waiting for him. you just wanted to spend time with him and here he was, finding comfort in other people other than you.

he tries to remember the last time you both had gone out together but he's drawing a complete blank. he can't even remember the last time he's kissed you or held you in his hands.

no wonder you've been feeling so lonely.

and in response, he just kept brushing you off until you blew up today. and to make matters worse, he walked out of the argument giving you no sense of reassurance or closure on the matter.

at the realization, suna shoots up out of his seat with flushed cheeks. the group turns to him.

"i gotta head out for the night. i gotta see my baby."

"get a fuckin' room sunarin," osamu shouts. the rest of the groups howls in agreement. "see ya."

he waves goodbye and starts trudging his way back to the shared apartment. he expects to find you asleep so he can crawl into bed with you and cuddle, never intending on letting you go.

so you can imagine the surprise when he opens the door and sees the bedroom light on and hears rustling noises. "baby?" he calls out. "y/n?"

he takes off his shoes and coat and walks to the bedroom. he starts to internally panic at the sight in front of him.

you have a couple of suitcases out filled with your clothes and belongings. at a glance, he can see that your side of the closet is almost empty. you've even taken down a couple of the decor pieces in the room that you bought but he was never particularly interested in. with your headphones in, you’re focused on packing, but what breaks him the most is seeing you wipe your eyes as you do so. why are you even packing? where are you going?

and then it hits him.

not only did he make it seem like he didn’t want to make this relationship work, but his actions have been driving you away. fuck, this was bad. he didn't mean any of it. he has to fix it or he's gonna lose the best thing in his life for good.

he goes over to you and taps your shorted and you yelp, startled by the 6'2" man, hovering above you.

"what the hell are you doing?" suna asks, cocking an eyebrow at you.

you wipe your eyes. "i'm leaving."

"don't be ridiculous," he scoffs.

"ridiculous?" you laugh at the absurdity of his comment. "what's ridiculous is how you walk out of an argument not even wanting to work things out. what's ridiculous is how you just continue to put me aside like i’m some side piece."

he knows you’re hurting. and it’s all his fault.

he doesn’t know how to properly express everything he needs to say to you.

so in the heat of it all, he does what he thinks is the next best thing and kisses you.

you'd forgotten this feeling. his soft lips on yours and how they fit together just right. it's the softest kiss he's ever given to you and your heart swells at the gesture.

you pull away and you plop yourself on the floor to process what just happened.

right there and then, he looks at you. he really looks at you. he notices the way you have some baby hairs popping out and your cheeks feel warm from all that crying. he notices the way your eyes look slightly puffed out and the remnants of tears on your cheeks.

i'm the cause of this. this is all my fault.

"i’m sorry," he begins.

you sigh and look away mumbling to yourself. "you’ve said that before. it doesn’t change anything."

"and you’re right."

you look up at him, surprised by his admission. "w-what?"

"you’re absolutely right, y/n."

he crouches down to your level, resting his hand on your knee so he can look you in the eye.

"i shouldn't have made it seem i wasn't willing to put in the effort into making us work," he says, gesturing between you and him. "my actions and what i said to you a couple hours ago obviously made it seem that way and i'm an absolute dumbass for not picking up on it."

you’re silent. he searches your face, looking for any speck of emotion, but he still can’t read you. in the amount of time he's known you, you’ve always been the exception.

"i've been swamped with so much work lately and i know i need to do better. i spread myself so thin that i forgot to prioritize the things and the people that matter the most to me."

you're silent, unsure of what to say to him.

"i thought i was doing the best i could do until i realized i could be doing so much more for us and for you. i'm so sorry for not being here."

"i know rin," you whisper. finally, for the first time you look up from your lap to look at him. "it just felt like you didn't care about us anymore. you're the hardest worker i know but i just wish you were here sometimes."

"and i wouldn't be able to be that hard worker without your love and support, you know," his hand cups your cheek as he runs his thumb across the tear streaks on your face.

"i realize how absent i’ve been in our relationship lately and i can’t imagine how lonely you’ve been feeling. i want to make this relationship work with you. i know i suck at being sappy and shit but you really are my other half. no matter what it takes, i’ll make us work. i’ll fight for this relationship. i'll fight for us."

"oh, rin," you sigh and wrap your arms around his neck, bringing him in close for a hug. the tears begin to flow from your eyes.

he feels his eyes glaze over. he breathes in your familiar scent and feels a warmth he’s missed.

even after everything, you still love him.

he starts with a gentle kiss on your cheek, then starts peppering your face with soft kisses.

you let out a watery chuckle, making his heart skip a beat. he hasn't heard your laugh in forever and he swears to himself to never be the reason for your tears again.

"let's go to bed now baby. i've gotta cuddle away all the pain i've caused you."

Chapter 4; no thoughts.

I love the feedback, you don’t understand y’all make me feel so happy even with anon messages, as always, my DMs and Inbox are wide freaking open, idc you can just tell me your eating a banana and id still love that you reached out. I’m recovering from surgery right now, so writing is my little escape and i hope it brings you some happiness along the way!! Thanks for da love.

September 14th 2023,

Azzis POV;

I woke up before Paige, as usual, whenever we sleep together,

But as I push myself up to look at her, I feel an arm tighten around my waist.

“where are you going?” Paige says, sleepily

“I’m just getting up, we have practice yknow, I can’t stay here forever.”

Paige rolls her eyes,

Her eyes, They grab my attention,

Now that I’m looking at her more clearly, her eyes are bloodshot, she must’ve been up crying.

She told me last night that an Ex of hers or whatever, said something that made her upset…. But I know Paige.

She would never be this upset over something being said online about her, especially if it wasn’t true.

But last night when she was crying in my arms, I let her lie, because whatever it is she’s holding back from telling me, has to be something that’s turning her world upside down. And I don’t want to push her to talk. At least, not yet.

Thinking of last night my memories come back, amongst it all, I told that waiter, whatever his name is, Marc? Mack? That id go to dinner with him.

Why? I have no clue.

“Az, You good?” Paige says,

“Yeah just thinking” I reply,

Paiges arm around my waist feels like it’s burning into me, But a good burning?

I don’t know, but Paige has always been touchy, we’ve always been touchy.

But for some reason her touch feels different today, more loaded.

Before I can think more my phone flashes,

-Caroline; call incoming.

Before Incan start to move Paige grabs my phone and connects the call,

“azzi, you okay? You never came home last night?” I can hear Caroline say,

“Yeah shes good, right Az?” Paige says into the phone while looking down at me.

her answering the phone for me should be annoying, and that’s how Page probably wants me to feel about it.

But for some reason, I don’t hate it,

“Oh uh, hey Paige? Can you hand the phone to Azzi real quick?” Caroline fumbles out, clearly taken back by being met with Paige’s voice.

Without saying anything, Paige releases her grasp on my waist and hands me the phone,

She starts to sit up and sends me a wink, “It’s for you,” she says while standing up and walking off,

all I can do it watch her walk away, because for some reason, I feel a heat creeping in my stomach.

“Az, Are you there?” Caroline says over the phone making me remember shes there.

Putting up the phone to my ear I speak “Yeah hey sorry, what’s up.”

“Okay first off, I don’t want to know what just happened with Paige, Because One, you told me you weren’t going over there, and 2. You definitely didn’t tell me you were sleeping over hers. I thought you died!” Caroline says with a stern tone.

“Sorry mom, yeah I just feel asleep here, but something’s going on with Paige, she’s acting literally bi-polar.” I say back,

“Whatever’s going on with her, you don’t need to worry about, we have practice then a hangout with the team again tonight.” Caroline huffs out, clearly annoyed at me,

“Jeez, what is it with this team and never being apart. Can’t we like not drink for a night?”

“I don’t know, But they said we might go to ted anyways, just get your ass back here.” Caroline says before hanging up the phone.

I place down my phone and start to sit up, finding the strength to stand when Nika comes in the room.

she closes the door behind her and has a knowing expression on her face,

I don’t know Nika very well, but I know that’s shes scary as shit. And I definitely don’t want to be trapped in this room with her.

“hey Azzi, I see you slept over.” Nika slides out, while leaning back on the wall,

Thrown off by her tone, I fumble out “Uh yeah I did?”

Before Nika can retort Paige comes waking in,

“and what’s happening in here?” She says directed at Nika,

It’s almost like her and Paige can communicate just by looking at each other, because at soon as Paige says that and glances at her, Nika backs down,

“Just saying Goodmorning to our guest is all, I’m gonna go get ready for practice, I suggest you both do too.” Nika says while exiting the room.

Once shes out Paige shakes her head and takes a breath,

“sorry about her, shes assuming things,” Paige says, walking to her closet.

what does that even mean? assuming what?

I just decide not to question it, and to get up.

“Um well, I’ve gotta get going before Caro send out a search team, I’ll see you at practice P,” I say to her back while shes in the closet.

Paige turns around and meets my eyes,

“Okay, don’t miss me too much.” she says with a wink,

I roll my eyes and get up, waking out of the room.

I exit the suite and start heading down the stairs to my floor, but as I’m walking I hear my name being called.

“Hey Azzi!” a man behind me shouts.

who would be up at this time, and in my dorm building?

I turn around and see AJ, waking towards me,

I’ve only ever seen him in person a few times, but the other times we’ve texted he’s been nice, Caroline even implied maybe he was interested in me,

“Hey AJ, what are you doing up so early?”

before he answers, he glances down taking in my outfit,

shit,

I totally forgot what I was wearing,

Last night I didn’t have time to change or take off my make up, or undo my hair.

It totally looks like im doing the walk of shame.

“Uhh, I could ask you the same thing, heading to practice like that?” AJ replies while blushing slightly,

“Oh uh yeah, this isn’t what it looks like, I was out at dinner last night and crashed in my friends room.” I ramble, looking down at the floor avoiding eye contact,

Why am I so fucking awkward?

“Oh, yeah well I mean, you look good. But I gotta run, coach might make me sleep on the bench if im not there early, but uh, Ill text you?”

“Yeah, yeah. Talk to you later.” I reply with a smile.

He smiles back before heading the opposite direction.

well maybe this outfit should be my go to.

I walk into the suite and am met by Carolines eye staring intensely at me.

“Uh hey?” I say while moving towards the kitchen counter.

“Hey Azzi, you sleep well?” Caroline says in a unnaturally sweet tone,

“Yeah, I did, and I promise I won’t leave you without texting again.” I say while rolling my eyes and heading to the fridge.

“Good you shouldn’t, the suite was too quiet without your aggressive typing all night. I mean what are you even studying? Classes started a week ago” Caroline says while taking a bit of a banana.

I scoff and grab a power bar, heading to my room,

Caroline calls after me,

“Hey! And tell Marcos I said hi!”

Right.

His name was Marcos.

11 am

Me and Caroline both walk into practice,

and it’s like a movie the way everyone on the team turns and looks at me.

Well not everyone, but the group Nika is hushly talking too.

Aubrey, Nika, and KK with ice all stare at me. Stopping their conversation.

Caroline gives me a nod, asking if I know what’s happening.

I just shrug back because truthfully, I have no clue whats going on,

The rest of practice is a blur, It’s tiring and feels like 2 and a half hours of just straight running.

But I notice all throughout practice, Paige is taking glances at me.

It seems like wherever ever I go her eyes follow, and with that, Nika’s whispering continues.

I don’t know what I did, But this is strange,

I just know I want to get out of this practice.

1:34 pm.

Soon enough practice wraps up, and Paige comes up next to me.

I cant help but notice her toned abs flexing, shining in a layers of sweat, she discarded her shirt earlier, so now there’s nothing on her top half expect for a navy blue Nike sports bra.

I mean this girl must live in the weight room, Because her arms and abs look like something you would find in the military.

“Hey, Az, you checking me out there?” Paige says looking down, following my line of sight,

Well, I kinda was?

I look up at her trying to hide my embarrassment, though I’m meet with her signature smirk.

“You wish, what do you want from me? You tortured me enough this morning,” I say looking up at her.

“Just wondering if you were coming to teds with us tonight, they don’t ID the team so it’ll probably be a ton of drinking, which is know might not be your thing since the whole ‘dying on the bathroom floor’ happened” Paige says while nudging me,

“Uh yeah, Caroline will probably force me to go anyways.” I say,

A voice cuts through,

“Paige cmon, we gotta go! Or else I’m leaving you here!!” Nika shouts out, a few feet away near the door.

Paige turns around, and giving Nika a thumbs up while starting to walk backwards towards her.

“Well ill see you later,” Paige says picking up her bag,

I stand there for a second collecting my thoughts,

My thoughts that consist of very confusing emotions about my best friends muscles. But these are pushed away quickly.

Me and Caroline start walking towards the door and she swings an arm around my shoulder,

“Yknow Azzi, you are soooo pretty, and funny, and may I add, a great basketball player-“ I cut her off quickly, seeing what shes getting at.

“I’ll come to teds tonight, no need for all that.”

Caroline quickly starts bouncing around and obnoxiously skipping towards our car, clearly happy with my choice.

9:45 Pm

Coming out of the shower I start walking towards my bedroom to get ready for the bar, but it seems someone’s already beat me to it.

standing in the middle of my room, with an all too happy smile on her face is Caroline.

“Now what are you doing” I say adjusting my towel.

“wellll, I just thought, maybe you’d like some help getting ready again?” Caroline says while batting her eyelashes at me,

I’m secretly happy shes offering, because the truth is, I was gonna ask her anyways.

“Finneee,” I say while sitting down in my chair,

Caroline sqeels and claps her hands like a little kid, heading towards my closet.

she comes back a minute later holding clothes behind her back,

“Okay, Okay, I know you didnt feel that great about the whole ‘waving your boobs around’ so here’s this” Caroline says pleading

I sigh and prepare myself for whatever she hands me.

Caroline walks towards my bed and lays out a short sleeve, black, open back shirt, and a mini denim skirt.

“Cmon this outfit with your boots, it’s perrrfecttt!” Caroline says awaiting my answer.

I sigh and realize that I’m not gonna win the battle of saying no to that, so I stand up and walk towards my bed taking the clothes and disappearing into the closet to change.

I walk out and Caroline starts making dramatic noises, including wolf whistles and explicit comments.

“Shut up, just help me do my mess of hair.” I say back rolling my eyes but feeling slightly confident from her reaction.

I sit down in my chair and start doing the same makeup that I had on the other night, while Caroline does my hair.

Once were both done I head towards my boots on the floor and grab my bag.

Just as were starting to walk out, I hear a knock coming at the door,

Caroline shrugs and gestures for me to get it,

I open the door to an unexpected guest, Paige.

As soon as I open the door, her eyes scan me.

She’s…checking me out?

Like without hiding it.

I have so many thoughts right now,

and I’m just so confused.

But also, kind of….liking it?

“Hey Az, just dropping off your charger you left it last night.” Paige says, while a slight blush tints her cheeks.

“Paige.” I say, ignoring the charger in her out stretched hand.

“Hm?” Paige says, finally making eye contact.

“Did you just check me out”

“Uh yeah, I did.” Paige says nonchalantly

“And why did you just check me out?” I ask, slightly taken back by her honesty,

“Because, you look….good as fuck. I gotta go, see you in a second.” Paige says with a smirk and a wink while she starts walking off.

what. the. fuck

What just happened.

And

Why am I slightly, turned on?

My brain is fried.

No thoughts,

“Um. What.” Caroline says causing me to turn around.

I don’t even know how to explain her expression, it’s a mix between complete confusion and… more confusion.

“I don’t know. Did that just happen?”

“Mhm.” Caroline answers back, still stuck in place

“and you just heard all that, she just said all those words. out loud.”

“Mhm.” Caroline replies again.

“I need to get drunk.”

“Mhm.” Caroline says, finally moving out of her spot and heading towards the door.

I just follow her out without saying anything, because I’m at a loss of words.

10:18 Pm

Me and Caroline walk into he bar, We quickly spot the table of our teammates in the packed bar.

“Heyyyy y’all!” KK says to me and Caro, already on her 2nd drink, or 8th, it’s hard to tell.

I slide in next to Paige, feeling slightly tense from our conversation,

But clearly I’m the only one feeling this way, because Paige has no issue striking up a conversation.

“Hey you.” She says nudging my shoulder,

“Hey, you wanna go get a drink?” I ask, desperately needing the converatstion to not be awkward.

“Uh yeah sure, you sure you can handle it?” Paige asks teasingly,

“I can handle a lot more than you’d expect.”

Why did I say that,

And why did it come out so sexual sounding.

And why is Paige looking at me like that,

And why does she smell so good?

“Oh yea? You might get me excited there Az.” Paige says, a little taken back by my comment.

“Do you have an off switch?” I say dramatically at her comment,

“No, but you certainly found my on switch,” Paige says with a wink while getting up and walking towards the bar.

I scoff and follow her “That was lame.” I say, because it was. And a little hot.

We walk up to the bar and Paige starts ordering while im standing next to her.

Just as shes ordering, I hear someone behind me shout.

“Hey Azzi!”

I turn around at the call of my name,

Marcos is standing right next to me.

I came back from the movie theaters (Fnaf Movie) My lord I FREAKING LOVED IT THE WHOLE THING IDC AHHH Ahem-

I saw that requests are open, SO a Platonic Headcanon Request if you don't mind, Fnaf (Movie) Animatronics with Gender-Neutral (17-soon to be 18) Reader as the new security guard? or maybe tags with Mike and possibly Abby? (Reader ain't tall just-idk 5'2 maybe I am projecting-)

(I know this request doesn't make sense because of the tiredness due to staying up late because of excitement. Feel free to delete this ask if its too complicated)

bonus: If you want to, You can also Include Chica's Cupcake

Have a nice day/night, From 📞 ☕ (PhoneCoffee) Anon

Oh I can definitely work with this ^^

......

When you started working at Freddy's overnight, you hoped this would be your last summer job ever before you turned 18.

"Steve" said it was all pretty straightforward: watch the cameras and make sure nobody broke in.

Easy as pizza pie, right?

Well, when you realized one of the animatronics very subtly moved from their usual spot, you wanted to check them out for yourself.

Plus, sitting in the office for six hours every night would def get boring as hell.

So you head to the main stage area, finding the whole gang mysteriously gone--Foxy included.

Then you get surprised by them emerging from different places in the pizzeria, eyes glowing a sinister yellow as they surround you, wary of your intentions.

"O-Oh hey..um..Fazgang?" You try your best not to look so terrified.

Surely someone was controlling them, right? They couldn't possibly hurt you.

Yet they stop and collectively realize "wait, isn't this a teenager? And why are they working this job??"

But since you're not wrecking anything in the pizzeria (or screaming bloody murder unlike the last guard), they spare you and are just very chill overall.

You now start to believe all the rumors of them being haunted by little children.....although not even that scares you.

On the second night, you learn that they can understand simple drawings--and that's how you pretty much communicate with them and build up trust.

While Bonnie is regarded as the "most aggressive", he was a real sweetheart who let you shine his guitar and hugged you tightly to express his thanks.

Alas you haven't found a way to stop it from constantly short-circuiting when he strums it...but you vow to figure something out.

Chica was equally as sweet, although for some reason Carl the Cupcake made you feel nervous.

The way he can be on the plate one moment and then disappear the next makes you worried that he'll sneak up on you and bite your ankles off.

But as long as Chica's around, that won't ever happen.

Although Foxy looks quite dangerous, you try your best to patch up the hole in his chest using some spare parts from backstage while being oblivious to the deadly Freddy mask saw trap in the corner, something he's grateful for.

He even sang you a little sea shanty as thanks!

Freddy was the first to be suspicious of you, but after seeing a drawing you made of him, he grows to like your presence, too. Especially after how nice you've been to his bandmates.

So you definitely survived more than five nights at this place--longer than anyone so far.

When Mike gets hired and comes in for his first shift with you, he's surprised that a teen is training him.

He suspects this was some lousy summer job you were forced to get and thinks you're gonna act miserable the entire time you work together and not actually teach him shit.

But as it turns out, you love your job!

You show him the Fazgang during their "showtime" performance and assure him that while they may look creepy, they're not bad at all.

And while you're not getting paid extra to do simple maintenance on them, you still enjoy trying to keep them in tip-top shape (especially Foxy, who needs repairs the most).

Mike seriously thinks you shouldn't be doing that as it's not in the job description AND it could be dangerous.

Even if you have expertise in robotics, he still thinks it's not worth losing a limb or finger to those complex contraptions.

Like he almost did after getting near a springlock suit.

But you just teasingly remind him who the trainer is..and he goes quiet.

Foxy overhears this, and you see him snickering from behind the Pirate's Cove curtain, amused by you basically schooling this 25-27 year old man.

Unfortunately he startled poor Mike, who looks over quickly.....only to find the fox standing in his usual position, acting completely normal.

"Was he just laughing at us...?"

"Nope." You play dumb, shrugging. "Must be his voice box malfunctioning....c'mon. Let's see if we can fix that."

Least to say, you're not gonna let him sleep on the job anytime soon.

wait omg you do fic requests??

idk if this is your usual thing but do you have any where the team is toxic to lance??

it's my all time favorite comfort.

idc if it has klance or not i just love watching lance get emotionally mauled

hey anon!! I do take fic requests but I am sometimes slow at them, sorry this took me a minute !!! I will say I'm a big hurt/comfort girlie so all of these have happy endings, and a lot of them are shorter so if you're looking for some drawn out emotional angst go straight for the last rec !!

Maybe Something Happened In A Past Life (Didn't Make It Over 25) by negativefouriq (4,791 words, rated M) Lance didn't fully recover his hearing after the rover explosion and doesn't tell the team because of the way they make fun of him for mistakes and don't take him seriously

Brought You To Tears Again (We Are The Very Hurt You Sold) also by negativefouriq (3,728 words, rated T) Lance has been hiding injuries from the team

Blast Zone by mareepicurean (4,729 words, not rated but I'd say it's probably around rated T) Lance is injured on a mission and isn't able to hear, and the team straight up do not notice until the mission is over and they're all pissed at him

My Heart Yearns and My Skin Burns by Write4love (8,425 words, not rated but I'd say it's G-T probably) takes place right after the game show

and last but not least, one I've recommended before and will certainly recommend again:

My Soul Has Your Claim, My Soul Is In Flames by queen-of-voltronian (TellyMauve) (146,137 words, rated T) during the season 7 road trip, they visit a planet hoping to form an alliance and Lance accidentally drinks something that will bind him to the planet if he doesn't kiss the person he's in love with by sundown. and that is resolved in like chapter one but then there's 16 chapters of plot that happen. this one is incredible it addresses Lance's death, the gameshow episode, the weird bullying from Hunk and Pidge in season 6, and is one of the most well written things i've ever had the privilege to read. It's a Lance pov and he's having a Bad Time, I think you'll love it <3

also, here and here are the previous Lance in a blender requests I answered if you like seeing our boy having a terrible time :) I hope you enjoy!!! <3

HEYYY can u write something cutesy. 😖😖 Idc who about just pick a character. I JUST WANNA BLUSHH AND GIGGLE TEEHEE

hii anon, thank you for requesting! sorry for my late response, but i hope you enjoy this :)

A Sweet Afternoon

the aroma of vanilla and cinnamon filled the cozy kitchen, sunlight streaming through the curtains. you leaned over the counter, hands dusted with flour, as you tried to knead dough into something resembling a ball. nanami stood beside you, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, exuding his usual calm composure despite the chaotic scene around him

“you’re pressing too hard,” he said gently, placing his hands over yours to guide your movements

“how am I supposed to know? you’re the expert here,” you teased, glancing up at him. his lips curved into a small smile—rare but so endearing it made your heart skip a beat

“i wouldn’t call myself an expert,” he replied, his tone soft as his hands lingered a moment longer than necessary. “but I do know how to avoid destroying the dough”

you feigned offense, narrowing your eyes at him. “i’m doing my best! besides, it’s not my fault you make it look so easy”

nanami chuckled, a deep and soothing sound that sent warmth through the room. “baking is about patience and precision. two things you seem to lack right now”

“rude!” you gasped, grabbing a handful of flour and playfully tossing it in his direction. it hit the edge of his shirt, leaving a white smear

he froze for a moment, raising an eyebrow in mock disapproval. “you realize this means war, right?”

before you could react, nanami flicked a bit of flour back at you, hitting your cheek. you gasped, laughing as you retaliated with a handful. in no time, the kitchen turned into a battlefield, both of you covered in flour and giggling like children

eventually, the two of you called a truce, collapsing onto the stools by the counter. nanami reached out to brush a stray strand of hair from your face, his touch lingering as his thumb gently swiped away a bit of flour from your cheek

“you look ridiculous,” he said, though his voice was warm, his eyes soft

“you’re one to talk,” you shot back, leaning closer to inspect the streak of flour across his jawline. “but… you’re still handsome, I guess”

his cheeks flushed faintly, though he quickly masked it with a small huff. “flattery won’t save you next time”

“next time? so, you’re saying we’ll do this again?”

nanami’s lips twitched, his gaze meeting yours with a rare sparkle of playfulness. “only if you promise to take it more seriously next time”

“deal,” you said, grinning

the timer for the oven chimed, signaling that your first batch of cookies was ready. despite the earlier chaos, they came out golden and perfect, filling the kitchen with an even sweeter aroma

nanami handed you a cookie, his fingers brushing against yours. “let’s see if all this effort was worth it”

you took a bite, the buttery sweetness melting on your tongue. “delicious,” you declared, eyes lighting up

nanami nodded in agreement, his gaze lingering on you for a moment longer than necessary. “It was worth it”

as you savored the moment, you couldn’t help but think that baking with nanami might just become your favorite pastime.

rebblogs appreciated <3

Dude I don’t even ship Maiko like that and even I disagree with all of your takes on the writing lol, are you sure that you actually enjoy it?

Since you said you don't ship maiko like that I'm sure you aren't wasting away your precious hours thinking about them, so I wouldn't be surprised if you don't agree with my takes (hint: they didn't form overnight. I wasted my precious hours thinking about them)

Besides, I do have a sort of superiority complex when it comes to this so we're both alright I guess. I mean, this is a fandom that doesn't understand why Aang not killing Ozai was important (I'm a batfandom cast off in ATLA and after the Bat-doltry that DC engages in, which is such a myopic and privileged view) ATLA was refreshing! ATLA did the "hero refuses to kill villain" right. I can't even think of a single other media off the top of my head that dealt with it as satisfactorily.

People saw Zuko getting his face burned off because he didn't like the idea of using soldiers as canon fodder (which is basic military strategy, anyone else would've said. There'd be collateral in war, anyone else would've said) and yet—I see blog posts and fics of Firelord Zuko being a stoic and reserved leader... Not an earnest bone in his body. Even though Zuko's overly emotional nature is NOT something the show posited as a flaw for him to get over. (If anything, Ozai tried to beat it out of him) idc people call it character development. I can see him being less angry, more peaceful, more patient with age, but are you certain you want him to go the "that's just how things are"/"difficult decisions have to be made" direction? He's supposed to rehabilitate that country, a non-proactive, non-revolutionary attitude is NOT gonna help. Yet, that's the kind of Firelord this fandom fantasizes about because "royalty."

Boriiiiiiing.

(I'm pretty sure the above paragraph is not going to be understood right because I really didn't do a good job of explaining it. I don't have the right words. Hence the large word count and rambling. I wish I was eloquent)

This is the fandom where freaking zutara is popular (I'm sorry I'm laughing)

This fandom (outside of kataangs) doesn't understand how romantic "why would I choose cosmic energy over Katara" is. How amazing it is that an indigenous girl is loved and valued like that!

This is the fandom that thinks Zuko is a dark romance bad boy. My reading of Zuko already doesn't match with 90% of the fandom, I know it.

And I'm supposed to take it seriously if some anon disagrees with my takes. It's okay! It's fiction! It is one of the few things where we can agree to disagree! (The other thing being food)

And if I read ATLA with an overly critical political lens and/or I want it to be subversive and non-tropey, then trust me, I'm more aligned with its themes than those who think "that's just how things are done" are (I say this assuming my long ass post about what I want from maiko is what led to this ask)

As for if I truly enjoy maiko, I'll point out the things I do enjoy about it:

Guys like Zuko don't end up with girls like Mai. If it had been, say, Mai/Aang, that'd have been flipping the good girl/bad boy dynamic over a 180 degrees but it's Zuko we're talking about. If ATLA had been normie media and not subversive Zuko would've ended up with, idk, Jin. Someone who can fix all his problems with kisses. As much as he enjoyed kissing Mai, his problems didn't disappear. Heck, if they had to pick one of Azula's friends to be Zuko's love interest, they could've picked Ty Lee! I wouldn't have shipped them though. That's not to say I hate ships like jinko or ty luko. It's just not something I fancy. Girls like Mai simply do not get the guy.

Mai is the active one. She pursues him. She kisses him first. She decides she wants him and she gets him. She knows what she wants and the narrative doesn't shame her for it. I can count on the finger of one (1) hand the number of ships where the woman leads and all of it are unpopular (I'm not surprised. I'm beginning to wonder why female-led hetero ships always get the "he didn't want her" accusations. I won't elaborate on that) I just like women taking the lead and maiko does it for me, okay?

Mai is ride-or-die without being a doormat. Another balance that the show, at least, strikes right: everytime I hear ride-or-die, I know the term is being misused and the woman is a doormat. We live in a man's world after all. Mai was ready to die for Zuko but she wouldn't put up with his bullshit and "fix him".

Mai got the guy, got a happy ending all the while without changing her identity. This is a fandom that can't appreciate nuance. Either Mai is robot who feels nothing or swerve right in the opposite direction! She's bleeding heart who feels everything too much. It's... More complicate than that? (Actually it isn't. I'm incapable of saying anything in under 500 words. I'm pretty sure my description of fandom perception of Mai isn't doing its job.) But I made a behemoth post about it here!

And if my saying "I didn't think they were toxic in the show, the comics are another story" is what prompted this ask. Then lemme present to you: The Beach was one episode! One. It would have been too unrealistic if they'd never fought at all. But since they had so little screen time The Beach just sticks out. It does get its point across though: Mai wouldn't stand being disrespected. Zuko gets confronted with the concept of accountability when Mai shuts down his attempt to justify his ill behaviour with his backstory. Even though it was pretty dramatic and heavy handed about the whole thing. I don't like that episode for that reason. Yeah, I'd have liked it if he'd grovelled and made it up to her. But Avatar Studios never cared about Mai(ko) like that. But other than that, their break up—the actual break up that lasted more than an evening—was due to "opposite sides of war. Angst. Hurt/comfort. 18000 words—" okay. Not 18000 words. Avatar Studios never cared about Mai(ko) like that.

I was enjoying maiko alright until certain part of the fandom started grating on my nerves with their "hE fOrGoT hER iN PriSon" takes. If Mai is not a good girlfriend (which is bullshit, she's a great girlfriend) it's Mai's fault. And if Zuko's a lousy boyfriend... it's also somehow Mai getting laughed at? So I thought, why not hold Zuko to an even higher standard? I mean, yeah. You might think "Blot, if you like loverboys so much why do you ship maiko?" Because I think Zuko is capable of being one, y'know? It wouldn't be OOC for him. If you disagree see above☝🏽I already don't see eye-to-eye with the Zuko fandom. It is true that romance was never a vital part of Zuko. For comparison's sake, it was of Aang! Even though kataang is the kind of ship where if you take the romance away, they're still soulmates. Which is why people who hate their bond (you don't have to ship it! Just don't downplay their relationship) simply do not get the show. Another take I disagree with the fandom about: zUkO iS FeMale gAzey. He isn't. Goodness, I wish he was! I fucking wish he was!!! This, even without bringing maiko into the picture. Aang refuses to learn from Pakku because he wouldn't teach Katara. Sokka had a whole unlearning sexism arc. Zuko? Zuko had none of that. I have no idea where the fandom gets its Zuko and/or FN were feminist idea. Pink washing at play here? This time for fiction? Because you relate to the colonising power more?

Now. If only those things were fleshed out and maiko was allowed to grow as couple instead of the comics truly making them toxic. I say toxic because Boiling Rock was a turning point for maiko. They shouldn't be having old hangups after it!

I'm not a shipper as a rule because the kind of ships I prefer are rare. On top of that, I do not enjoy romantic melodrama. I've heard shipping in comic book community gets insane. I was in DC fandom for 4 years and I have no idea what the shipping side of things looks like. I couldn't be bothered.

All of the points above, but especially bullet points 1 and 2. Maiko at least gives me that. You know how rare that is? I just can't with ships where women aren't assertive. There's nothing wrong in that, just not my cup of tea.

They could've not paired Zuko up with anyone. But they did and proceeded not to develop his side of it. I think I can complain about that. I still ship maiko because I think their characters are interesting together. The idea of what-could've-been. If it bothers you so much, then think of it as fanon ship 😁

I have always been an IR shipper. Earlier, I used to be indifferent to IH but now I just hate it. Thousand Year Blood War Arc is trying so hard to push IH that it's irritating. Ichigo is not in his character. He's a completely different person now. He's not that brash but endearing character I knew. Funny how he's acting lovey dovey around Orihime but still calling her Inoue lol.

I hate how IH shippers compare their ship with every every other Canon ship especially Naruhina, IzuOcha, Erenmika. When they get called out they try to uplift their ship by bringing other ships down. Like do they realize theirs is the only ship Where they Boy and the Girl don't understand each other at all. Theirs is the only ship where the Boy and Girl don't call each other by their names( though they are supposed to be friends but idc) Seriously every single thing Orihime knows about Ichigo is hearing it from someone else. Ichigo never told his insecurities to her. I seriously wonder how does their marriage even work? Like does she have to call Rukia every time Ichigo gets depressed. For real, she cannot even cheer him up lol. Ichigo also does not really know much about Orihime. Give me one instance where He called her strong. There is none.

IH shippers force people to believe that Orihime's love for Ichigo was real. Funny thing is IH started from Orihime crushing on Ichigo but Never once I felt that Yes, she really does love him. She NEVER had that impact in his life. She never fought for him, nor risked her life for him. Who did all of this? Rukia. She made an impact on his life and Saved him countless times. Ichigo considered her his true soulmate and Saved her too. It's So insulting how IH shippers call Ichigo was returning the favour to Rukia by saving her or He was obliged to save Her. They try so hard to downplay Ichigo and Rukia's bond that in the process they shit on Ichigo's character.

They compare Orihime to Masaki, the mother who died protecting Ichigo. They also compare Orihime to Hinata, who made sacrifices for Naruto and almost died protecting him same as his mother Kushina did. Like Ori has no Character of her own and only by mentioning other great female characters who actually impacted the Main character's life they think they can give validation to IH.

TYBW completely removed Rukia from anywhere near Ichigo. Why so? To develop the already Canon ship. IH has always been a minority group and Kubo is so scared to even give a single IR scene since he knows The IR fandom is still active and still massive. It's so funny how Rukia has to be completely removed from Ichigo's life to make his relation with Orihime function. Must be pathetic to be in the IH fandom. They say We IRs are the ones insecure of them, when it reality their own fav Ori was so jealous and insecure of Ichigo and Rukia's relation that she cried pathetically. She even commented about their 'Chemistry'. She tried to convince Ichigo not to save Rukia by manipulating him but it didn't work. Ichigo had no idea what kind of a person Ori was by then otherwise he would have cut off what tid bits of friendship he had with her.

Sorry of the lost post. Wanted to get things off my chest. I just couldn't stand this IH glazing in TYBW arc..😮‍💨

Totally agree, anon! You cooked!

The fact Kub0 & Pierrot have to push Rukia aside to "try" throwing some scraps to IH says a lot... Her presence is too powerful, too impactful, that she gets Ichigo's undivided attention every time... Their interactions overshadow everything else around them...

I don't watch the TYBW anime, but I heard IH got some crumbs, tho it doesn't seem like anything to fangirl over? Like the bar is too low 😬. He still ignores her from what I've heard? They can't make him pay too much attention to her cuz then it'd be OOC, lol.

It's pathetic how IH's try to compare IH to other canon ships. Ships it only shares superficial similarities with. All those ships came to an understanding, impacted each other's lives, have actual content from the authors themselves (even if little), & are quite beloved by fans to this day. IH is NOT a beloved ship & despite being canon for almost 10 years, they have no content nor apparent love from the author nor his affiliates. Saddest canon ship in battle shounen (alongside RR) 💀.

No chemistry, no development, no color spreads, no big confession (Ori's silly confession to an unconscious Ichigo does NOT count), no kiss, no bonding moment, nothing. Severely unpopular for a canon ship in a battle shounen (the impact of IR was, & still is, too strong). Japanese fans don't even care about IH (maybe that's why SJ & Pierrot don't bother giving IH much of anything; they know how unpopular it is 💀). Maybe that's why IH's try to ride on the coattails of other canon ships, as they can barely stand on their own. The "canon" label is the only thing keeping IH afloat. And the "non-canon" label is the ONLY thing keeping some ppl from shipping IR (and/or openly, at that) 🫢.

Ori only had a shallow crush on Ichigo cuz not once did she prove any real love. As u said, she had no impact on him, never risked her life for him like Rukia did or any other shounen girl like Hinata & Mikasa did for their loves. Definitely a disservice to those girls, even Masaki & Kushina, to compare Ori to them. Ichigo never acknowledged her. He never thought her strong nor amazing. Ori did NOT have what it takes to be a heroine nor love interest to the MC (and that's Kub0's fault for not developing her & wasting her early potential).

But yeah, must be sad to be in the IH fandom... being canon but have no real content to brag about & mostly dudebros seem to defend it 😬... Imagine your ship being carried by dudebros... 💀

okay but can we talk more about how . quick clown was to take tina under his wing. the fact that it reflected how he came to take ros as an apprentice … ough. the parallels?

first, with bad (jokingly) threatening tina after clowm logged off only for clown to log in at the perfect time, which made bad go immediately silent and back off. like . what is this . december?

but then there was also during the confrontation with pili/ace. clown wasn’t taking it seriously, joking around and having a very light attitude towards the whole thing. when pili said he found clown boring, clown took it in stride. but tina rose to his defense, and pili immediately latched onto her — asking if this was clown’s apprentice, hiding behind the arena’s walls. and it’s like. something clicked in clown’s head because he said she could do whatever she wants. and then he started actually taking the confrontation seriously. and he brought up ros.

sorry im a rospierce (/p or /r idc i just love them as a duo) enjoyer. and i’ve hardly seen anyone talk about it so. here i am. analysing it. all one line.

“you expect me to care what you think. but that’s the whole point, isn’t it? i never cared. i just wanted to put you in the dirt for what you did to ros.”

i remember back in january, feeling slightly disappointed at how misconstrued the fight between pili and clown was advertised, with people claiming it was “toxic yaoi” or “pili proving himself”. and those are interpretations that can be had, especially from pili’s pov! it was framed as if pili was the underdog and clown was the final boss pili has to defeat to gain some respect, and though he ultimately failed, clown never spoke about the reasons why he personally fought pili that day.

i’m sure a lot of people, both in the realm and in the community, assumed it was because pili was obsessed with clown and his deepest desire was to die by clown’s hand. they probably also assumed clown was fighting simply because he was the only one who could. but that’s not the case. sneeg sought out clown before the fight and offered to take pili down, but clown refused him. it was personal to clown. probably because ros was targeted due to her relationship with him.

maybe that’s why he never told anyone why he did it. at the fight. why he purposefully played into the role of pili’s final wall to overcome. because people knowing he cared about ros is exactly what led to her being hunted down and killed in the first place. he doesn’t want to advertise just how important she is to him, because it’s dangerous to be so. and it’s a shame, but also so very interesting, because despite the fact that their relationship is almost entirely private, ros has never once doubted that clown cares about her.

but you can also see that clown seems to be letting those walls down! i mean, he blatantly admitted that the reason he fought pili was for ros’s sake. this was in front of only foolish and tina, who wouldn’t use this information against him, and bad who already knew. but still. i wonder if it’s because of sneeg and zam and ros herself have grown stronger. and he doesn’t feel that he is the only one who needs to protect them.

sorry for the rant/analysis that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. because clown hardly logs in, he doesn’t do a lot of lore. and when he does do lore, it’s hardly talked about because people tend to view it as non-canon because they can’t see him committing to it . but i still think he’s such an interesting character despite that ^^

this is an amazing analysis anon.... woawww my rospierce heart

but yes i agree!!! the whole purpose of the fight did get misconstrued; clown fought because Ros' safety was in jeopardy if he didn't, not to grant pili's wish. he never cared about that, he never cared that pili was obsessed with him and any advance pili tried making clown actively ignored or dismissed (ex. throwing away all the gifts pili gave him). it was all for ros.

i also think clown is the type of guy to hide his relationship with ros as a means of protection like you said. it's dangerous to let people know you have attachments, it's something that can be exploited and used against you. it's happened time and time again on lifesteal, clown's home. it makes total sense for him to want to hide how much he cares for ros in hopes of keeping her out of danger.

clown and ros' relationship is so interesting to me . god i love them so much. they have like undying faith in one another and despite clown not being around a lot and most of their bond being hidden in private, they're unwavering. clown comes back and it's like nothing ever changed .

#asks #the realm liveblogs #im so sorry that this sat in my inbox forever i genuinely did not see it until now LOLLL
