★ part 1 of an ongoing series ★

you hated ajax and ajax hated you. that much was safe to say. ever since that incident in 9th grade, you never talked to him, let alone acknowledged him. before that, you both had known each other since elementary school. everybody loved ajax, his teachers, his peers, and even you. he just had that personality that made everyone love him; but you knew him underneath that persona. you knew his flaws and he knew yours. he’d tell you things he’d never tell anyone, he trusted you. but, all good things come to an end. in the summer going into your first year at highschool, you found yourself never wanting to speak to him again. he ultimately became the person you two would make fun of together in prior years. a typical, white, football player. but damn was he a good running back. he used to be so charming, but now he was just a playboy that had a new girl in his bed every week. you hated him for it, you hated the person he became, but you mostly hated how he’d plague your mind like a disease.

the day of the game finally came. you and kaveh both wore your school’s varsity jackets and jeans. you guys trudged the god foresaken orange gatorade cooler out to the field for the junior varsity and freshman team. the jv game had just finished, and you began setting up for the varsity game.

“y/n, i can tell you’re scared about ajax.”

“wow kaveh, you’re sooo observant.” you said sarcastically as you both were now in the utility room, filling the water bottles for the players.

“listen, you probably won’t even have to talk to him. as much as he likes to talk behind your back, he’s scared of you. you literally know EVERYTHING about him, you could ruin his reputation in milliseconds.” kaveh had a point. you knew his deepest and darkest secrets, but he unfortunately knew yours as well. you screwed the last lid of the water bottle on tighter than usual as you responded.

“thanks kaveh, but promise me you’ll be the one giving him his water, not me.” kaveh laughed as you said this.

“i’d actually be more than happy too! he’s pretty fine anyways…”

“kaveh— please.” you sighed as kaveh only laughed louder. you walked out to the field, the sky a pretty hue of pink as the jv players left and students filed in the bleachers for the real game. you made your way to the bench, right next to the field and placed the water bottle trays down, as cheering filled the stadium, you both looked behind you.

“ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, our undefeated, five-time league winners, the varsity football team!” the announcer said as the cheers only got louder. the varsity boys ran onto the field, ajax leading the team. you rolled your eyes. you’d admit, he looked good in the navy blue and white jersey, adorning the number 11. ajax was the captain and star of the team, his stats practically outdid any other running back in the county. he ranked first for almost every category, he was a good running back, you’d give him that at least. but at that moment, a feeling came over you. you felt jealous. jealous of the new cheerleader girl he was seeing, jealous of his success, you irrevocably hated him.

“god alhaitham looks good.” kaveh said, very much distracted when they began to sing the national anthem.

“you’re shameless, kaveh.”

“well, the national anthem definitely did not include gay people so…”

the game began, and the annoying and repetitive chants from the cheerleaders almost got stuck in your head. they even had a special one for their glorious star boy tartaglia! you could give zero fucks about him and his stupid chant, but you couldn’t help but notice him staring you down as the rival team took a time out. he gulped his water, sweat dripping from his slicked-back hair, before returning back to the field. as promised, it was kaveh’s job to offer him water, not yours. when one team scored, the other followed suit, the game was neck and neck. watching ajax skillfully receive alhaitham’s (the quarterback) throws and run it was something you could watch all day. but you hated him, so you pretended to look busy every time the home team ran a point. it was halftime now, and you and kaveh hung around the bench. they were up by only two points, it was practically anyone’s game, but that’s what makes the epic highs and lows of highschool football, right?

“swear to god, ajax keeps looking at you.” kaveh whispered to you as you refilled the green water bottles. the boys went into the team room as you and kaveh stayed outside. ajax’s fan girls in the stands had finally calmed down. you just looked at him and looked away as you continued to fill up the water. “like, every time he scores a touch down, he’ll do his stupid little celebration and he’ll glance over here—and then i’d look at you, and of course—‘oh, she’s trying to look distracted and pretend to not care again!’.” kaveh rolled his eyes at you, looking at you for an answer. “you still care about him, don’t you?” this time, you didn’t look at him and just stared at the bottle.

“yeah, like i’d give two shits about the school fuck boy. it’s just, i can’t help but remember how he used to be, that’s all.” it was a blatant lie, and kaveh knew. but he decided to stop pressing where it hurts. and just like that, half time was over and the team looked spent, but they still had 30 minutes to clutch. the cheers started up again. another touchdown, and chants of his name were the only things heard in the stadium. you felt surrounded. you just wanted to go home.

finally, the seventh minute began. the scoreboard emitting a soft glow displayed both home and away teams tied. everyone on the bleachers were all sat for these final minutes. including you. you watched intently with kaveh and your sports med teacher on the bench as they hiked the ball.

“alhaitham, number 9 is going for a throw,” the commentator’s voice reverberated through the field. alhaitham spots ajax, right on the 30 yard line, centered on the field. alhaitham takes a couple steps back and throws, the ball spins with accuracy. the crowd and kaveh all cheer.

“a dot! per usual from quarter back alhaitham, how many yards can their star running back score for the team!” ajax grabbed the ball and went for a right hook, swiftly dodging the defenders. he only got faster and faster as the cheers grew louder. he hooked right, and made his way for that touch down line.

“ajax! ajax! ajax!” the crowd chanted as kaveh and your teacher were now standing. you watched him closely, all of a sudden remembering back to when the two of you competed in your middle school’s flag football tournament. he had signed you up without you knowing, and you both somehow cinched first place.

“oh my god—” kaveh’s gasp snapped you out of your thoughts, as you looked onto the field.

the bleachers were silent now. ajax laid on his side, clutching his knee. the ball was long forgotten now.

“it appears number 11 is down.” the commentator remarked. your heart sank to your ass. you knew that knee injuries could fuck up anyone’s career in seconds. especially a running back’s. before you knew it, you were standing, your teacher yelled something to kaveh as he began running toward him to see what happened, you stood frozen. the cries of his fan girls behind you were the only things you could hear, kaveh was trying to tell you something, but you kept looking at ajax’s writhing body and back to kaveh, and back to ajax, and now at the rival team, and back to kaveh.

“y/n! are you listening? this is serious!” kaveh’s voice was almost a yell.

“i-i’m sorry, what do you need me to do?” you blinked a couple times.

“get the ice pack!” he yelled as kaveh made his way to the scene, the rival team went back to their bench as they were in small groups, most likely talking about what happened. you grabbed the ice pack from the cooler and ran over. his eyes were screwed shut as he cursed loudly, your teacher asking where it hurt.

“ah fuck, my knee! motherfu—” ajax bit back his curses with the back of his hand. your teacher radioed for a golf cart, which made you confused because you’d think someone would be calling 911.

“shouldn’t we be calling an ambulance..?” alhaitham asked, kneeling next to kaveh and ajax’s head. kaveh visibly looked flustered.

“y-yeah. we should! as a matter of fact, why don’t i just call them right—” your teacher cut kaveh off as he interjected.

“it’s a torn acl, if we call an ambulance right now, all they’ll do is give him some ice and painkillers which we very much have. we’re not spending 6k for an ice pack. save that money for the surgery.” your teacher remarked.

“the what..?” ajax looked at him with wide eyes as a campus supervisor came with a golf cart, the crowd was at a stand still.

“kaveh, stay here and take over for me. y/n, come with me.” you knew ajax’s injury was nothing life threatening, but you couldn’t help but worry for his future. you nodded your head as you and your teacher got into the front seat of the golf cart, cursing kaveh in your head, wishing it was him to take your place. ajax’s teammates carefully laid him on the golf cart and he cursed at them to be more careful. you rolled your eyes.

“ajax, we’re gonna need you to talk to us, we can’t have you passing out.” your teacher drove the golf cart to the recovery room, making sure to drive slowly over any bumps.

“you want me to talk? well, a torn acl is gonna ruin my goddamn career—fuck!” the golf cart jerked forward a little, making him curse.

“it’s probably not completely torn, ajax. you’ll recover in no time.” your teacher said.

“you’ll probably be out for the season.” you added, you couldn’t help but add a little salt in the wound.

“you’ll be out for the fucking year if you don’t shut the fuck up.” ajax snapped back at you.

“you need some ice dipshit?” you turned around with the ice pack and tossed it onto his knee, making him yell out in pain.

“what the FUCK is wrong with you—” he yelped in pain again, you just rolled your eyes.

“y/n! cut it out! you too, ajax. we’re here.” the teacher took the key out of the golf cart and looked at you. “i need to call his parents and file a report for the insurance, i’m trusting you to patch any cuts and tape his knee for the time being. keep the ice on it—and please don’t assault him.” your teacher was already on their way as they headed towards the office. you didn’t even get a minute to protest.

“no fucking way they just left me with this loser.” ajax scoffed from the back seat of the golf cart.

“at least my knee still works.” you grabbed the key and unlocked the recovery room, it had a couple of medical beds and cabinets filled with all kinds of medical equipment. you turned the lights on as you heard ajax outside yell.

“now you’re just leaving me? jesus, i couldn’t have asked for someone better to help me.” you ignored him as that was not what you were doing. you went to the smaller room in the back to get a wheelchair to get him onto one of the beds. you walked back outside, ajax’s face turned from one of pain to an angered look the minute you stepped outside. you wheeled the wheel chair to him.

“get on.” you said with little to no remorse.

“yeah let me just fly onto the fucking wheel chair why not. can you help me?” ajax yelled as he tried to sit up straight on the back seat. you scoffed and somehow got him onto the wheel chair. you both were silent, but you knew when ajax went quiet, he was overthinking. you knew he was thinking about what he’d do with his injury. you decided to give him something else to think about.

“it’s not that bad ajax. you survived skateboarding into a brick wall, i’m sure you’ll be fine.” you brought up an old memory the both of you shared.

“everyone saw. even the fucking scouters—i’m done for.” your words seemed to fly past his head. almost like he forgot about you and his’ history. you helped him onto the medical bed and made him sit straight so you could tape his knee. you went into the back room to get more ice. from the main room, you heard him start talking again.

“when i ran into that brick wall, you were the only one there. i didn’t have scouters that could get me d1 scholarships.” he remarked. he did remember at least. you came back with a roll of medical tape and some ice.

“you need to roll you pants up past your knee.” you went for the straight forward route as anything else would’ve gotten too awkward.

“yeah no fucking way that’s happening, cut it off for all i care.” you figured getting the leg of the pants over his injury wouldn’t be the most best of things, so you grabbed a pair of scissors and cut his pants just above his thigh. he hissed in pain even though you didn’t even touch it. he was always this dramatic, you thought to yourself. you unrolled the pieces of tape and got to work. if ajax was good at football, you were the best at sports medicine. you knew how to wrap an ankle like second nature—a big part of the reason why your teacher asked you to assist, not kaveh. he went quiet again, and you’d much rather have him yelling at you than overthinking the situation after all this.

“how’s teucer?” you asked as he hissed whenever you’d place a piece of tape on his knee.

“w-why do you care? can you be any more gentle?” you looked up at him and kept working. you weren’t any gentler, you just worked slower to make it look like you were. he fell for it easily.

“he’s fine. he just graduated elementary—ow, school.” he responded after a minute passed.

“that’s good.” you said in quieter-than-usual tone. you couldn’t deny it was still awkward between you two. you hadn’t had a conversation like this in practically years, and you never thought you would have to. “so what exactly happened out there? you trip or something?” you knew he didn’t trip. you also knew that ajax had a tendency to overestimate himself, overall causing him more harm than good.

“the turf must’ve been off.” he said looking away. ajax was well aware he let himself get cocky. it was the final minutes of the game and he wanted to end it off strong. in doing so, he got himself a torn acl. good going ajax.

“mhm..”

“what? don’t believe me?” before you could answer the question, your teacher walked in. the first thing ajax asked was if they won the game or not. his “half touchdown” didn’t count, leaving them still tied.

“we won. but it was still a close call.”

ajax looked like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. he was already upset with his injury, and a loss especially with their title as undefeated would be 10x worse. you tried to look normal, but in truth, you were a little happy for the team. after all, you had some sense of school pride.

“your mom is outside. i’ve talked to her already and explained the injury in length. please focus on resting, then let’s talk about your next games.” with that, your teacher left you both alone again.

“can you walk?” you asked.

“i’ll try.” he said wincing as he got up. you went to his side and put his arm around you. it was silent. you helped him to the parking lot, occasional swears were heard from him. you said his mom waiting outside of the car.

“oh sweetie!” ajax’s mom held him tightly.

“hi mom, i’m fine.” his words were muffled into her shoulder.

“oh goodness, let’s get you in the car!” she helped him into the passanger seat. they spoke to each other in russian, it sounded like he was getting scolded. it was none of your business anyway. after doing so, she came back out.

“y/n? i remember you!” she said, giving you a hug.

“hi mrs tartaglia.” ajax’s mom had a soft spot for you. she’d always pack you extra food, and would never fail to treat you like one of her own, it made you happy. due to the circumstances, you hadn’t seen her in what felt like years.

“how’ve you been? we’ve missed you!” her hand stayed on your shoulder, her voice was genuine. but who exactly did she mean by “we”?

“i’ve been alright, thanks for asking.”

“ajax still talks about you, you should come over some time! teucer and tonia miss you!”

huh?

did you hear that right?

maybe it she didn’t actually mean it like that, why would ajax still be talking about you?

ajax rolled down the window and stuck his head out.

“mom i’m hurting let’s go.” he half shouted.

“alright, alright. i’ll see you soon hopefully, y/n! thank you for looking after ajax!” she said with a warm smile as she got back in the car before you could say a word. you simply waved and smiled back at her. you glanced over for a second, seeing ajax on his phone. you didn’t understand. did ajax really stil talk about you? you’d have a lot to tell kaveh..

the two of them left the parking lot in their black tahoe suv. you just stood and watched. you cursed to yourself. you couldn’t understand why ajax’s words pulled at your heartstrings a little. you were confused. and things would only get more confusing from there.

unimportant

“i don’t expect to be the most important thing in your life but god damn it, i thought i’d at least be in the top 5” with itoshi rin and itoshi sae. angst/no comfort.

rin itoshi

rin was really starting to piss you off. you’ve tried your best to understand him. you always listen to his problems. you stay with him when he needs company and leave when he doesn’t. not to toot your own horn, but you’ve been a pretty good girlfriend.

so, when you walk into your shared apartment, tearing up slightly because of a bad day at work, you immediately go to look for your boyfriend.

rin is analysing game footage for his next match. the opposition had brought in a few new players so he needed to get a grasp on how good they are.

listen, you weren’t one to disturb rin when he was working. you knew your boyfriend loathed being disturbed while attending to his duties but right now you need him to hug you and cuddle you until all the stress leaves your body.

“rinnie…” he doesn’t look at you, but you know he hears you because of the small grunt he lets out in reply. “i had a really bad day, can we hang out?” you’re staring at rin, waiting for him to ask you what happened.

he does not, in fact, ask you what happened. instead, you’re met with a groan and a “stop complaining.” wow. what a lovely boyfriend.

you try again, desperate for some form of comfort. “rin, please.” you need him right now, and his match is in three weeks, surely he can spare enough of his time to give you some words of solace.

he finally looks at you, a harsh glare meeting your eyes. “i’m working. y/n, leave me alone.” and you know he sees your puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks, you know that he knows you’ve been crying.

he turns back to the screen, ignorant of your existence. that’s when your sadness turns into frustration.

“rin, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?” you’ve walked up to him now, leaning over him to press pause on the game footage.

he doesn’t say anything but just glares again. he’s treating you like you’re a bug. your frustration only grows.

“oh my fucking god!” you throw your hands up in exasperation, glaring right back at rin. his voice is filled with apathy to your emotions, “i need to work. i’ll talk to you later.”

you start laughing. it seems that your unexpected reaction finally caught rin’s full attention. “listen rin, i know how important soccer is to you. i don’t expect to be number one on your priority list, but god, i at least thought i would make the top five!” rin stares at you without saying anything.

you continue your mini-rant “you know what, next time i’m upset, i won’t come to you. i wouldn’t want to risk disturbing your oh so precious game footage.” you stare rin dead in the eyes and send him a clearly fake smile. “next time you’re upset, don’t come to me either. i might be working.”

rin just glares. there’s something that’s so belittling about him not replying to your outburst. it makes you feel like a nuisance to him, but you suppose you are.

you leave the house. at least you’re angry instead of sad.

sae itoshi

you met sae in the airport with a large smile as soon as he came back to japan, immediately jumping into his arms and kissing him. you had missed your boyfriend dearly.

you, of course, expected sae to spend a bit of time with you after getting his passport renewed, but then he joins the u-20 japanese team for a match against the new government project blue lock.

that’s fine. sae will be able to spend some time with you right? wrong. before the day of the match, he trains and works. it’s alright though, he’s playing an important game, of course his preparations will take up a good chunk of his time.

after the match, he’s still busy working and training. you’re starting to realise that sae won’t spend a lot of time with you while he’s here.

all you really want is one day. a day where you and sae have a nice date together, where you’re able to finally have a full heart-to-heart conversation with him.

you walk into your mini home gym, sae’s inside. he’s doing bicep curls with weights you couldn’t lift with both of your hands. “sae! can we go on a date today?” your eyes are hopeful.

sae turns to you and sighs. “i can’t today, maybe tomorrow?” you return his sigh with an even bigger one. “you’ve been saying that for the past few days now.”

sae’s getting irritated. you can tell by the way he subtly squints his teal eyes. you’re bothering him.

“y/n. i have things to do, i can’t abandon it for some stupid date.” his words are harsher than they should be and he knows that, but it’s your fault for getting him upset, you keep bothering him about these dates. it’s annoying.

his words piss you off, and he continues to piss you off as he speaks again. “we can just eat at home like we always do.”

you feel your frustration growing but you take a deep breath to calm down, you don’t want to have an outburst. “sae, i want to go on a proper date with you. don’t get me wrong, i love staying home with you and just hanging out together but i want a special date, y’know?”

sae glares at you, he drops the weight on the floor and you wince at the loud crash. “y/n. i’m busy with soccer training. i can’t go on a date.”

it’s always soccer. at this point, sae might as well marry soccer because jesus fucking christ it’s all he cares about.

you walk up to him, you’re done trying to be nice. your index finger points into his chest. “i know you’re busy and i don’t expect to be the most important thing in your life but i thought i’d at least be in the top five.”

you sigh and step back from him, refusing to look at his expression. “never mind. i’m going out.”

sae doesn’t try to stop you.

do you want me to do any other of the boys?

NOT A WEIRDO STALKER.

PART 5. a stalker or irresistible? [the end]

PAIRING. blade x f!reader

SUMMARY. modern au. you’re minding your own business as a research assistant and college student just trying to vibe. blade is a new team member who is somehow convinced you are trying to stalk him after all your chance encounters together. so maybe he’s a little obsessed with himself, but you find it cute anyway.

NOTE. final part!! a very short and sweet smau and it was a fun little way to explore this very chaotic story with blade :3 hehe i really enjoyed this whirlwind of a mini series and thank u all for reading!! i miss blade already t.t so def expect some more for him soon xx sof

“Have you decided what to watch yet?” 

A deep voice that sounded almost hoarse from having just woken up made you lift your head from your phone. Your new teammate and friend sat beside you on the sofa, a safe enough distance away so that you couldn’t accidentally make contact with him without meaning to. Even though Blade was sitting, his presence still took up the whole room. With his long dark hair and piercing red eyes, he was someone you couldn’t miss. 

There was no doubt in your mind he could fend off whatever was at your door. Even if it was the biggest of stray cats. 

You nodded. “I’ll go with what Dan Heng suggested! Great British Bake Off.”

Blade folded his arms over his chest. A look of annoyance crossed his face as he huffed. His eyes were narrowed and his lips were downturned, almost looking like a pout. “Why Dan Heng?” 

You tilted your head sideways. “Because he was the only one who answered the poll…” 

“I answered.”

“With a show that wasn’t an option to begin with!” you laughed, lightly nudging his arm with your elbow. “That basically doesn’t count as a vote.” 

“Wow.” He rolled his eyes but his stance softened at the brief contact. Blade unfolded his arms with a sigh, leaning back on your sofa and putting his right arm across the head rest. “Very politician of you.”

You crinkled your nose. “Fine, we can watch The 100 another time. When it’s not five in the morning and pitch black and scary.” 

“So there’ll be another time?” he mused. 

You felt your cheeks heat up as he looked at you, his stare unwavering. Was that too presumptuous of you?

Blade basked in your silence. He was in his element. With his arms outstretched and his legs wide, he manspread on your couch, his knee softly pressing against your thigh. It was warm on your bare skin, even through his sweatpants. You never liked manspreading. You always thought it was rather rude. But why did it look so attractive when Blade did it? 

“There doesn’t have to be another if you don’t want,” you said with a huff, unsure if he was teasing you or if the prospect of movie nights was really something he wasn’t very keen on. You hoped it was the former. 

“Let’s see how tonight goes first.” Blade looked mischievous, a challenging smirk on his face as he gestured you closer. You moved so that you were leaning back on his arm. “Not that there’s anything you could do that would make me not want more.” 

“Oh really?” you said, amused. “From claiming I’m a weirdo stalker to finding me that irresistible?” You paused. “Why were you so sure I was one anyway?”

“A stalker or irresistible?” 

“You know what I meant,” you laughed, pleased he didn’t shoot down your flirting like you thought he would. 

He shrugged, tapping his foot against the floor. “Well, I just started noticing you around everywhere the past few months when I’ve never even seen you before. In the same classes as me, same apartment, same lab…” 

“That does tend to happen when we’re both in the same major living in the same complex,” you said matter-of-factly. “The lab though— I’ve been in that since my second year. You just joined now. So you were the stalker in that scenario!”

Blade rolled his eyes. “Then you get my number and ask me to dinner…” 

“I told you already! I saved everyone’s number not just yours!” You were exasperated, cheeks puffing up as you defended yourself. “And the dinner thing really was just me trying to show my gratitude—”

He held his hand up, a quiet chuckle escaping his lips. “I’m only joking now. You don’t need to explain yourself. I get you weren’t secretly obsessed with me.”

You were more amused that he ever thought that instead of genuinely offended, but it still felt nice to have that cleared up. “Good.”

“Maybe now I wish you were though,” Blade whispered under his breath, surprising you. But you didn’t let your momentary shock allow Blade to take control of the entire situation. You wanted to contribute to it as well. 

You threw his earlier words back at him, eyes crinkling into a smile. “We’ll have to see how tonight goes first.” 

He nodded, pleased with your response. “We got a lot riding on tonight then, huh?” 

“It seems so.”

“Then let’s make it count.”

Gonna request for Alpha!Emo!Wanda w Omega!reader bc I found it so cute the anons request-💕💕💕💕💕

After reader's second heat (that both of them spent together as a mated pair), after that, Wanda starts to act very possessive over reader she starts to growl and snarl at every alpha at the compound and is willing to fight anyone that gets a little too close, scent marks reader and this really sets reader off guard because wands never acted like this and whenever they're cuddling Wanda sets her head in reader's belly, this goes for a while until r starts being sick every morning and her scent changes to something more sweet and milky Wanda's absolutely smooths reader with cuddle,praises and kisses only to reader realize that she may carrying wands pup's

The ending u decide bc I'm out of creativity 😭😭🤚

warnings: omegaverse, pregnancy, possessive behavior

Your girlfriend has always been a more relaxed alpha. Of course, Wanda hated a family and at least two pups of her own, but she wasn't going to push. That time would come when it wanted to. Just being with you was enough. Wanda knew you were loyal and never worried about you leaving her. She has claimed you and you had claimed her, that was all she needed. So you were very confused when Wanda had suddenly become overprotective.

The team, you included, had brushed it off at first. Wanda had just gotten out of her rut and all alphas had behavior problems after that. Then it started to interfere with work. Wanda always had to be near you. If you sat too far from her in meetings, she'd pull your chair closer. You'd have a maximum of thirty minutes before Wanda would come stomping into your office and demanding you return to her room. The worst of it was her habit of picking fights with nearly every alpha that worked in the compound. There were a number of reasons for an alpha to become so snappy, so all you could do was watch.

It was a lot easier than you thought since Wanda resorted to simply following you around like a lost puppy.

Though it was your night to cook for everyone, Wanda had completely taken over. All you could do was prep the table and occasionally hand off some ingredients. "Damn it, who keeps putting the bread so high up?" You stood on the tips of your toes but nothing couldn't reach it.

"Let me get that for you. Some of us just toss stuff up here without much thinking." Thor reached the top of the fridge and handed you the bread. "It's a real shame. You do the most cooking out of anyone here." He firmly patted your shoulder only to immediately put his hands up in defense."Wow, you may wanna check your mate over there."

Your brows furrowed as you turned around to see Wanda giving Thor the meanest stare she could muster. A sigh fell from your lips. "Thank you, Thor. I'll talk to her." You walked over to Wanda and wrapped your arms around her waist. "What's the matter? You've been so cranky lately." Releasing your scent relaxed her a bit, but she was still very tense.

Wanda grumbled but didn't take her eyes off the pan. Truth was, she didn't know what was wrong. One moment, she was fine. Then suddenly, she'd be angry at the mere thought of other people seeing you. Her growling and snarling at other teammates was entirely subconscious. "I…honestly don't know. I thought it was just because of our cycle but that's clearly not an excuse anymore." Everyday she'd wake up and her brain was plagued with terrifying and baseless hypotheticals. Was it safe for you to go on a mission? Could the others be trusted when sparring with you? Why were you anywhere else but your nest?

It wasn't the answer you were hoping for. "That's okay, I'm always here for you. We'll figure it out together." You kissed the back of her neck and pulled her close. "Now can you move from the stove? Everyone likes their burgers differently."

Wanda huffed but stepped away so you could take over. "Fine, just let me do the dishes or something. I don't want you on your feet too long."

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Unfortunately, Wanda's possessive behavior only got worse and no one could figure out why. To make matters worse, you were plagued with all sorts of weird symptoms. The smell of anything would make you sick, your back hurt all the time, and you'd wake nauseous.

"I don't know, Bruce. Wanda's already freaking out. If she finds out I'm sick, she'll flip out." You spent the better part of your morning hooked up to monitors and taking tests. "If there is something wrong with me, just keep it between us." Your nervous scent had filled the room, but it was off. Your scent used to be dewy and floral. Fresh cinnamon and wet roses had suddenly become milk and strawberries. "Has Pepper been around here lately? I didn't think scents lingered this long."

Bruce frowned as he looked over the screens in front of her. "No, it didn't smell like this until you came in.." No matter how many tests he ran, nothing seemed abnormal. No spikes in blood pressure or viruses. Everything was normal. For a moment he was just stumped. Then it dawned on him. "Have you and Wanda…fiddled recently?" A sigh of relief fell from his mouth when you nodded. "That's what it is. You're pregnant!"

Everything stopped for a moment. The fears in your head kept turning. After being subject to so much chemical testing, you had given up on your fertility. But everything made sense. The idea warmed your heart, but you were nervous. "I- we have to go buy a test! Now, come on."

Bruce never expected to be forced into a disguise and dragged to a corner store to buy a pregnancy for one of his beloved teammates, but there was a first time for everything. After the tensest train ride and an awkward 30 minute stand outside of a bodega bathroom, Bruce's theory was confirmed. You were pregnant. "Well, what do you wanna do? Are you gonna tell her?"

You quickly dropped the test inside the plastic ziplock bag and shoved it in your hoodie pocket. "Yes, but I wanna surprise her." Despite your answer, you were so excited. The entire way back to the tower you thought over everything. Names, where you would move, and what their nursery would look like. You'd been so lost in thought, you didn't even notice you had returned home.

"Oh, baby there you are! Where have you been?"

"I'm pregnant," You said without hesitation as you pulled out the test.

"Surprise," Bruce said flatly as he raised his hands.

Wanda nearly exploded. "Oh my god, no way!" She dropped what she was doing and immediately ran to hug you. "I'm gonna be a mom and Pietro's gonna be an uncle!" It was the most childlike excitement anyone had seen Wanda express. She practically threw you up in the air with how face she picked you up. "Oh, we have to go remake your nest and- and buy a crib and- do everything!"

You sprinkled kisses all over Wanda's face. "Hey, hey relax. We got nine months to do all that stuff. Just relax."

Dancing: Domestic Bees?

Blake, Yang, Kali, and Ghira are all out on a double date in Vacuo, enjoying a celebratory dinner for team RWBY's return and the much anticipated Bumbleby relationship.

Kali: Oh, I'm so excited for you two!

Ghira: As am I. Blake, I like this one much better than the other boys you've brought home.

Yang: (to Blake) Other boys???

Blake: Adam and he also thought Sun was trying to get with me when he followed me home.

Yang: I mean. He probably was.

Blake: And ending the conversation.

Ghira: So, Yang, Blake mentioned that you're quite the dancer.

Blake: (spits her tea)

Yang: I wouldn't say I'm great, but I can hold my own. (smiles) Blake's got some good footwork of her own when she feels like it.

Blake: Yang, I literally tripped off the dance floor back in Atlas. I have terrible footwork.

Ghira: You get that from me, I'm afraid. Two left feet. Kali is actually quite the dancer. She was considered one of the best in Menagerie back before we were married.

Blake: Really? You never told me that.

Kali: Oh, it was a lifetime ago. I haven't danced in so long. I don't think I could keep a beat if my life depended on it. (sighs) It would be nice to shake off some of the rust though.

Blake: (glances at Yang) I noticed there's a little dancefloor in here. Do you think you could ask my mom for a dance?

Yang: You sure, Babe? Not going to be too jealous?

Blake: I'm positive. I'm sure she'd appreciate it. (walks her fingers up Yang's thigh under the table) Who knows? It might get you some brownie points.

Yang: (accidentally kicks the leg of the table and gets the attention of everyone at the table) Ahem! U-Uh, Mrs. B! Uh, Kali... Would you like to dance on the next song?

Kali: (stars in her eyes) Oh, I would love to! Ghira, are you alright with that?

Ghira: Of course, dear. It's not like you're dancing with some stranger who's going to feel you up or anything like that.

-Price Royce - Lao' a Lao' starts to play over the speakers-

Yang & Kali: (gasp) I love this song! (glance at each other) You know how to dance to this? Yes! LET'S GO!!!

Yang: (offers Kali her hand and the two rush down to the dancefloor excitedly)

Blake & Ghira: (watch as their partners take the dancefloor)

Blake: Wow. It's been a while since I've seen Mom get so excited.

Ghira: Should we be concerned about what kind of song this is based on that tremolo?

Yang & Kali: (I'm to damn lazy to write up the dance number and this is already long, so watch this to see what they do)

Blake & Ghira:

Yang & Kali: (return to the table when the song ends)

Yang: That was a blast!

Kali: I haven't danced like that in years!

Ghira: (throws lien on the table, picks up Kali and throws her over his shoulder, and makes a bee line for the exit) Yoink!

Kali: Oh, my!

Blake: (grabs Yang's tie and follows Ghira) Yoink!

Yang: Whoa!

The Institute

Summary: Jean and Raven give Wanda and Y/n a tour of the headquarters.

A/N: I'm loving the responses so far hahaha Let me know if you're team Wanda or team Jean. Enjoy!

Masterlist | All Chapters | All Stories Taglist

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walking through the Institute made your skin crawl with how familiar yet foreign the place is. It was similar to the one you grew up in but somehow vastly different. Luckily, neither Jean or Raven are in the mood to give the full tour of the facility. The only rooms that they show you to are the room that you and Wanda are staying in and after setting your bags inside, they guide you two to the war room. Inside were various monitors that were broadcasting information the two women must’ve collected from the other universes. A long table that had a mess of files and folders, even a few trays of food and disposable cups. On the wall at the back of the room was a giant map. It was the strangest map you had ever seen. It was of many universes with many random numbers floating about. On the right side of the screen were numbers in red. 

You step closer to get a better look at the numbers. “Those are the universes that we’re assuming the witch has already destroyed.” The person that answers the question you hadn’t asked yet was Carol Danvers, she was munching on some chips while you stared at Captain Marvel wide-eyed. “Hi, I’m Carol–” 

“Danvers,” Wanda completes as she looks at the woman in disbelief. “Wow, there’s a nexus of you too?” 

The woman smiles awkwardly, still not used to any part of this situation. “Yeah, I suppose there is. I’m not a complete asshole in your universe am I? The two of you look kind of shocked to see me.”

“No,” you clear your throat and shake your head to bring yourself back. “No, we were friends until you uh, I mean. We– well, she was really good friends with our Carol until she died on a mission,” you explain. Now you understand what Jean and Raven must be going through with you. It was shocking and difficult to see a version of the person that you had cared about and mourned, standing in front of you alive and well. She has shorter hair than your friend did, but otherwise the resemblance was uncanny. You look to your wife to see if she is okay. They had a close relationship and it was hard for her to lose her best friend. On the night of the funeral she made you promise to never go on another mission again, because she needs you more than the world does. 

Wanda is trying to keep from getting emotional but she can’t help it. To see her friend again felt really good. “Can I hug you?” She asks before she wraps her arms around the woman anyways. Carol laughs as she returns the hug. 

“I’m glad to know she had you as a friend. If we were anything alike, she really needed someone like you in her life,” she says as she comforts your wife. 

“Were we friends too?” You ask to fill in the conversation that your wife couldn’t at the moment. 

Carol shrugs, “You married her so we tolerated each other.” You’re amused by her bluntness and make a comment about the universes not being so different after all. She laughs as she pats Wanda on the back to politely end the hug. “Alright, Maximoff, time to release me.” Wanda nods and pulls away as she wipes away some of her tears and thanks her. “No need, believe me, with how stressful all of this is,” she gestures to the intimidating room, “I needed that hug just as much as you did.” 

Wanda excuses herself to go clean up and when you offer to go with her she refuses you and tells you to stay put. “Where is everyone else?” Jean asks as she sets down the tablet she was preoccupied with. A screen that wasn’t on before is now showing the information they had collected from your universe. 

“Wonderbread is sleeping in and your highness the fancy toaster is out collecting more data on the other Nexus Beings. Seeing how many are left, estimating how many she took.” Carol sits down and kicks her feet up on the table as she bunches up the empty snack bag and tosses it over her shoulder. 

Raven shakes her head, narrowing her eyes, “And what were you doing?” 

“Keeping your seat warm, darling,” she winks at the shapeshifter that rolls her eyes as she tries to organize the area a bit more. When she left, the place was spotless, she should’ve known she would have needed to ask one of her colleagues to come in every now and then to reorganize the place. 

“You could have cleaned up around here,” Raven starts. While they argue, you start walking by each monitor so you can catch up on the information they already have. Getting to know your other teammates in a way before actually meeting them. 

“It’s a little overwhelming, isn’t it?” Jean asks as she stands beside you. “I’ve witnessed most of this and I still can’t wrap my head around it.” She continues on, feeling the need to talk to you about anything at this point. You nod your head and turn to look at her.

“I’m not sure anyone’s brain was meant to handle this much information in such a short amount of time. After seeing Danvers alive,” you trail as you look over at the woman begrudgingly picking up the cups and take-out containers while Raven goes on about the importance of cleanliness. She exclaims about how she cannot believe the mess three adults can make in two days without supervision. You smile a little as you watch the Nexus Being mimic the shapeshifter in a childish manner. “I don’t know how I’m ever supposed to live a normal life again.” 

Jean shrugs, “You’ve figured out how to do that before, haven’t you?” You look at her in question and she points to your monitor. “Your body holds every infinity stone from your universe, something that should be impossible and useless outside of it but you make it possible. That’s not exactly a normal life, even for a Sorcerer Supreme.” You laugh and scratch your head sheepishly as you agree that it isn’t what most would consider to be a normal life. 

“So I’m guessing the person you knew wasn’t as reckless as I am when it comes to saving the world,” you ask lightly. “Wanda will be jealous if that’s the case.”

“No, they absolutely were,” Jean instantly answers. “The version of you that I knew was constantly giving me heart attacks. But they always came back to me, without fail. You refused to break that promise to me.” She gets a distant look in her eyes as her mind is invaded by thoughts of the love of her life. “It’s part of what made losing you so hard. I mean, not you. Y/n. My Y/n, I mean,” Jean laughs awkwardly as she remembers the first time she ever called Y/n hers. How happy they were to hear her say it. They were surprised but every time after they had looked at her so lovingly, whereas right now the only thing in your eyes is pity. 

Jean excuses herself to break up what was happening between Raven and Carol and you let her go. You decide to look for Wanda since she hasn't returned yet. You wonder if she got lost or something. As you're walking down the hall a loud screech from outside catches your attention. You look out of one of the big windows that make the wall and see a robot dropping a mostly nude man onto the main platform where you and Wanda had arrived from. They were too far to see many details but something, his screaming mostly, tells you that the man is from a time long before yours and this must be quite a shock for him. Figuring that you’ll find out what that is about later, you ignore it for now and continue to find your wife. 

Checking down each corridor as you pass them, you don’t sense Wanda until you get close to the room. You initially thought she would have gone to one of the public restrooms, but she seemed pretty upset when she left. She is lying on the bed, hugging a pillow when you find her. You lock the door behind you and then you lay down behind her. Unsure if she wants to be touched because sometimes she doesn’t and you were respectful of that. 

“Where’s your head at?” You ask her softly. Wanda doesn’t have an answer for you, so instead she reaches behind you to have you to hold her. You adjust your position so that you can comfortably do so. “You don’t have to be here, no one will think less of you if you go home.” This makes Wanda turn in your arms so that she can glare at you. 

“Stop trying to talk me out of this. We’re in this together,” this time to remind you of the vows the two of you made to each other, she holds her engagement and wedding rings up. You couldn’t help but smile at them, the first memories coming to mind are the days that you conjured them on her finger. You take her hand so that you can place a kiss on the back of it and rub soothing circles to help her anxieties. Wanda sighs with content, grateful that you know what she needs. “I just needed a minute. You know how hard it was for me to lose Carol. She was my best friend. We were sisters. I’m lucky to know that we have that bond in other places but, it makes my head spin, you know?” 

You nod because you did know, in a sense. It makes you think about the Scarlet Witch. The kinds of people she must be missing from her life that has led her to the point that she is at in her life. Either she never had them or she lost them all and the thought was almost too much to bear. The train of thought even brings your mind back to the woman looking at you like she wanted to have you all to herself. 

“The more this whole thing settles in my mind, the more impossible it’s starting to feel. I’m scared, duša. I won’t lie to you about how I feel, but I’m not backing down,” Wanda continues. “So, until you can give me a real reason please don’t ask me to go home again.” You promise her that you won’t bring it up again. She makes you seal the promise with a pinky swear and a kiss. 

There is a knock on the door and the two of you take a deep breath and tell each other that you can do this. You stand up first so that you can pull her out of the bed since she wouldn’t let go of your hand. She stays attached to you the entire way back to the room but lets go of you once you’ve entered the room. With an expression, you ask her if she is okay and she points her eyes in the direction of the Phoenix who seemed to be preparing to give the briefing. The simple act of kindness made you fall for your wife all over again, she was always thinking of others. In your eyes, she was unmatched when it came to her pure heart. 

“Please, find a seat and we can get started,” Jean says as she gestures to the many empty seats at the long table. There were only three chairs that were occupied. The ones taken by Raven and Carol and one more by a man you hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, however, his attention was drawn to the woman standing next to you. “Simon!” Jean says, to grab the man’s attention once again. Now you know why the notes on his monitor said that his weakness was Wanda Maximoff. You thought he was going to be afraid of her, like many others would be. But now you knew exactly why she was his weakness, it was the same reason she was your weakness. “Alright, now that we have most of you here. Let’s get started–” 

Jean is cut off when the door opens and two unique figures walk through. A man that looks like he belongs in the stone age and a much more advanced version of Vision than the one you know. “Sorry for the interruption,” he pushes the man with no skin on his head into an empty seat at the table. “This is Ghost Rider, he’s from 1,000,000 BC in the 272 universe. We will have to be patient with him but believe me, it will be worth it.” 

“Oh-kay,” Jean says as she looks over at the strange looking man that is looking around the room wildly, trying to process all of the new around him. “May I continue now?” 

“Please,” Vision gestures for her to do so as he finds his own seat.  

From that point on, they go over what they know. Each Nexus Being contributes what they can remember from the many nightmares of the Scarlet Witch murdering their variants. You purposely leave out the one that occurred here. When Jean asks if you had a nightmare of it, you apologize and say that you don’t remember. You wouldn’t want to hear about Wanda in her last moments before a monster took her away from you for good, so you couldn’t put the redhead with desperate eyes through the same thing. 

What you didn’t know was how much she needed you to confirm that she lost you to the Scarlet Witch. That the love of her life didn’t willingly choose to leave her. She knew that you weren’t telling her the truth about dreaming about their death, she didn’t need to know if you had or not. What worried her was why you were reluctant to tell her. Would it be what everyone had been telling her was what happened? That Y/n got up in the middle of the night and decided that they had enough with this life? No, she wouldn’t lose hope yet. 

After they were done comparing notes about their nightmares, cultivating a list of abilities she possessed and theorizing the limitations and weaknesses they have to work with, they moved onto using the map. Working to choose the Nexus Beings that could be useful and or willing to help their cause. They write down the names and numbers of the dimension that they think will have prime candidates. 

While you’re learning how to use the portable multiversal travel device you find yourself questioning a few things. Thankfully, Raven was your instructor because you weren’t sure if you could ask Jean the questions that were jumping around your head. 

While Wanda is preoccupied with the device, trying to call the platform but finding it to be more difficult than it had looked, you decide to talk to Raven. “So, we were able to pinpoint exactly where certain Nexus Beings are,” you start conversationally and the shapeshifter makes a noise to let you know she heard you but her main focus was somewhere else. You thought for a second it was your clumsy wife but find yourself smiling a little when you notice her gaze went far beyond that. “Danvers, huh?” You ask just above a whisper to catch her attention. 

“What? Huh? Sorry, were you saying something?” Her focus is on you now and you decide not to mention what previously held her full attention. You repeat what you had observed in the war room earlier and she nods. “Yeah, we did. What about it?” She asks, a little annoyed that you were pointing out the obvious. 

“Well, Jean mentioned to me earlier about having seen me and Wanda together in every other universe. And the two of you seemed so happy to have found me. Or rather, the correct me, so I just have to ask. Why is it easier to locate Nexus Beings now than it was before?” You finally get the question out and Raven understands your confusion. 

“We are advanced in our technology and information on the multiverse, but up until we found Vision on Earth-90110, we were blindly searching. Of course, we wanted to start with finding you first. So that’s what our goal was when we’d enter a different dimension. But we’d either find out that something happened to you or that you weren’t the Nexus we were looking for. So we would go to the Nexus in those worlds to try to convince them to help but they had no idea what we were talking about. Until we met Carol. She was the first one to agree to come with us,” her gaze wanders back to the woman with short blonde hair and the playful attitude. She lets herself get lost for a second, watching the woman engage in a conversion with Simon and Jean, then Wanda’s cursing at the device snaps her out of her head. “I’m sorry. Uh, then Simon came along and with his help we were able to find Vision. The improvements he made to our equipment is why today has been easy so far.” 

You thank her for the explanation and then you give your wife the help she needed in order to get the device working properly. She isn’t happy in the slightest that she needed your help to have the platform appear. You try not to laugh at her grouchiness but you can’t help how adorable and amusing you find her. She shuts the machine off and storms to the other group, telling you not to follow her. Raven shakes her head at you with a light scoff and you shrug your shoulders.

Once everyone has successfully done a trial run on the devices on their own, including Wanda, Raven hands everyone their assignments. A small device that is the size of a smart phone but it can make calls directly to this Institute in another universe in case of an emergency. It also holds the small bit of information that they were able to get on the Nexus that each group is supposed to look for. “Oh good, you’re here,” Raven says as a man in a lab coat arrives at the main platform. “This is my friend, Dr. Hank McCoy,” the man she pulled beside her waves with an awkward smile as she introduces him. “He was part of the research that cultivated the research for these devices. He will be joining Wanda and Carol,” she gestures to your wife and her friend that were distracted trying to figure out how the devices work again. 

They both look up as if they had been caught doing something bad and hide the start up device behind their backs. “Whatever you think happened, it wasn’t me!” Carol states. 

“I’m her alibi, it wasn’t her and it wasn’t me either,” Wanda raises her hand and you shake your head as you laugh quietly to yourself. 

Raven’s eyebrows knit together in confusion. “What the hell did you two do?” 

“Nothing, were we not clear before?” Carol retorts playfully. 

Not having the time to deal with this at the moment, she waves it off. “Whatever, Hank, good luck babysitting those two.” 

“Wait, why can’t you babysit us?” Carol asks, not exactly happy about this sudden substitution. 

“Because someone needs to keep an eye on,” the blonde woman nods her head in the direction of Ghost Rider, who everyone voted to have stay behind. “And I need to get the school cleared out. It’s too dangerous for them to be here.” 

“Why do we even need a babysitter?” Wanda asks next, completely offended. “Carol and I are very capable of traveling, just the two of us.” 

This time you save Raven the breath, “No, the two of you are hopeless. I don’t know how Simon’s pairing system failed, but the two of you need someone who will get you back here safely.” You look at the guy that the shapeshifter had appointed and he seemed harmless and responsible enough, “Hank will be a good balance for the two of you. Won’t you?” The man is brought out of his thoughts when you call attention to him, and has to wipe his eyes before ensuring everyone that he is fit for the task. It wasn’t easy being the one sharing the face of someone that meant a lot to people. But it did make you feel good that you were important to people in worlds outside of your own. 

“Alright, is everyone ready?” Raven asks and she is met with mostly nods except for one raised hand. “Yes, Simon?”

“Can I switch with Hank?” He asks, stepping forward, a little too eager for your liking. 

Jean swats the guy on the back of the head and pulls him back to her side, “He’s just joking,” she says. You smile, amused and thankful, in her direction. She has to look away when she notices it and you feel like maybe you shouldn’t have made the expression. But then when you look over at her again, she says, “You’re welcome,” through a mind message. 

“Alright, everyone, good luck and bring back as many as you can,” Raven calls over Ghost Rider so that the two can head back inside together. Each group wishes the other luck and one by one they disappear into another universe.

✘ Your opinion on each regions ranger system

✖️ - no lies ask game

WOW that is a lot! I'm gonna be honest with you chief I will not be doing that. I have proper opinions on the union chapters I've worked directly with, but for the others I can really only give you what I've heard through the grapevine. I'll go in order of where I worked;

Almia: never actually worked here, but I did go to ranger school here, and ranger school involves a brief placement in a local base. Almia's chapter is... fine. They do a LOT of advocacy, a lot of research, test out a lot of new initiatives. Any time there's new tech upgrades Almia gets first crack. There's also no pokemon league here, and a LOT of rangers which means for the most part it is extremely peaceful. I find almia's chapter a bit performative tbh. Almia rangers are the first to tell you how they think things should go, even tho most of them have very little experience with all the problems competitive pokemon trainers bring. Also that's where head office and top rangers are. Yucky.

Fiore: My first REAL ranger job was in Fall City, so most of my experience is in that hub. Kinda similar to Almia, no real league, no competitive trainers, and a fuckton of rangers. They tend to be a lot more chill overall compared to Almia. Not in Fall City mind, Joel ran that place like a fuckin boot camp. I forgive him for it tho, he was finding his feet as a base leader. The union here is fine, but I will say there are a LOT of people-pleasers in Fiore that the citizens just kinda walk all over. Fiore citizens are so fuckin needy, they are most of the reason I don't wanna go back there.

Hoenn: my Homenn. I am extremely biased but this is top tier. Number one. Best of the best. Hoenn has the most knowledgeable rangers in the entire union simply for the fact that Hoenn's eco-systems are INSANELY diverse. Hoenn has every eco-system under the sun coupled with an insane weather system and has a team of dedicated rangers who collectively know all of it inside and out. I'm super proud to have spent most of my career in Hoenn. Rockstars, every one 🖤

Johto: trash region. Competitive trainers everywhere, breeding and releasing pokemon en masse into the wrong habitat. So much burnout among the rangers, especially the leadership. Union is grossly underfunded and disrespected by the rest of the region. There are some rangers out there trying their best to make a difference, but it's such an uphill battle that they end up burnt out in a week. That's just what my experience was tho.

Paldea: this place rules. Not as good as Hoenn, and largely funded by the league itself which is not unheard of but also isn't super common. This chapter is also decently new, Geeta was the one who pushed and negotiated getting us set up here. They fuckin did it right though, our chapter has enough freedom to run all the extra programs and workshops that make us actually able to make a genuine difference. Pretty heavy on the regulations, but most of them are rooted in sound logic so I'm not so bothered by this. The ranger school that's being run through N-U academy I think is gonna end up one of the best outside of Almia, they are killing it over there. Plus Joel is with me again 🖤 yay.

This got long. The only other regions I kinda know about are Kanto (similar to Johto), Galar (brand new and kinda suspicious), and Alola (fuckin top tier).

In conclusion:

HERMIE NOOOOO-

[birdbound]

(not art) seabound spoilers uhhuu screaming crying

u know what i thjnk about. kai drowning/nearly dying in seabound. drowning is liike his biggest fear aside from losing his friends and family. the way he almost died too was one of the most (emotionally and probably physically cus he fell from a Bridge in a moving Truck) painful ways he could go cause water is the one thing he’s afraid of and swimming is something else he can’t do. and he lost the like super valuable artifact and let kalmaar get away cus he CAN’T SWIM

plus he had to get saved by a citizen/kid (who can swim [the citizen/kid part doesn’t matter much but like wow that’s probably also a punch in the ego too]) and like. if antonio/nelson weren’t involved to begin with he would’ve died cause nobody else was there with him during the whole thing. he would have DIED and nobody would’ve found out what happened to him unless kalmaar said something

then he had a 2nd almost death experience which he was tied to his team this time (it was for like a whole 5 seconds because the sea bounty was under them!! luckily) and thrown in the ocean to drown again after nearly drowning before in the same episode

when nya went after kalmaar for the storm crystal (and got it back) he probs wwas super relieved cus he was pretty much the one who let it go out of his grasp…..but ohhh it was the FAKE ONE!!!!!!!! and then wojira is released and floods ninjago city and nya dies how,,..how do u think he feels….sooo much guilt its all his fault

he probably blames nyas death on himself the most. and his aquaphobia. like. if he could swim nya wouldn’t have had to feel guilty about getting the wrong crystal. if he didn’t let fear get the best of him, his friends (and him) wouldn’t have been tied up and almost drowned (again). if he could have acted quicker in that canal jay wouldn’t have nearly died/drowned like he almost did. if he could swim wojira wouldn’t have been awoken. if he overcame his irrational fear nya wouldn’t have to merge with the sea. she would still be here with them if he didn’t let his phobia get the best of him.

and even if kai did manage to get away with the storm amulet, kalmaar probably would have found another way to get it and still wake wojira and the events of seabound proobably would have still happened…but but like. his first and everlasting goal was to protect nya and the ones he love, and he failed to do that. especially the one who was the most important to him from the very beginning. the only other one who was there for him. the person who he vowed to keep safe ever since their parents disappeared, is now GONE!!! bc he is scared of water. because he cannot swim.

ties back (just a liittlee) to the survivor guilt / ‘it should have been me’ mindset from zanes sacrifice. he was the one who told zane that “its not about numbers” and that “it’s about family” and those were pretty much his dying words as he saved ninjago city. he thinks it should have been him because thinks he was the one who egged him on and he was the one who let kalmaar go with the amulet. he was the one who said those words out loud. he was the one who hesitated

[yikesharringrove]

Aight now we’ve got the dive

I’ve seen spoilers for this, of Steve diving into the underwater upside down gate and can u just say I CALLED IT.

Wow, it’s almost like an underwater gate is super cinematic and interesting ✌️🤪

Thots: had some great moments, but also had some of my least favorite moments of the season so far.

The California/Utah gang feels so fucking disconnected from everything else. They tried so so hard to shove Suzie into this season and made it a weird comic relief scene when the pen could’ve just had the coordinates hidden in it and they go right to the Nina project

The storylines are becoming so stretched that’s it’s hard for me to keep track of everything.

The whole satanic panic being spurred on by Jason is the worst thing stranger things has ever done. It feels like some cheap riverdale shit and that show sucks for a reason. I think it could’ve been mentioned like Eddie’s intro scene where he’s reading that article, but it’s taken such a focus that I can’t stand.

Steve Harrington is the light of my life but that’s not New information.

Anyway, this episode really lost me in a lot of ways but that ending with Steve being eaten alive was really tense

Notey note notes

Alright maybe now Jason can fucking CHILL

Ope. Nope. The opposite of chill

“How do you expect to stop the devil, if you don’t believe he’s real” maybe it’s my religious trauma talking, but the satanic panic shit needs to END I’m literally so so so over it

There’s just too much happening tbh. This military group looking for el and the team getting els powers back and the team in Hawkins helping max and the basketball boys hunting Eddie and the team going to Utah and the team in Russia and also hopper in Russia im Tired

The brenner redemption is the second to last thing I needed (the last thing I need is Steve/Nancy getting back together)

“You have demons in your past” AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF THEM

They are trying to redeem brenner and they couldn’t have been added to give billy a satisfying character arc???? What?????

“At least he can drink himself into feeling better” “that’s what my mom does” I’m WHEEZING nobody is pulling their punches today I see

Not even paying attention to what’s being said bc I’m so focused on Steve eating like a bear out of focus in the background

Steve in the yellow sweatshirt about to steal every scene (and also my heart)

Idk I just. They are constantly making sure Eddie knows they’re there for him and like. No one cared about billy.

THOSE MOUNTAINS HIT ME IN THE FACE LIKE A BRICK I FEEL SICK I KNOW THAT RANGE

Oh god oh Jesus Salt Lake City I’m. No. No.

Not them about to bring this Latinx man into the 80s mormons’ house.

Good shot, kid.

The way they are painting these kids as super weird kinda fucks actually but I just feel sick I’m so anti-Mormon it’s insane

MORTON SALT HELL YEAH

“Father’s kidneys!” Me except it’s my own fucked up kidneys

God this whole scene has but such a bad taste in my mouth

This ally sheedy bitch I hope she leaves the church and thrives

Joyce and Murray threatening yuri with these shitass Russian accents dream team I love them

Not me muting the scene of them eating bc of the chewing sounds ✌️🤢

Every time I see this plinko I think of the horse plinko from a few weeks ago lol

Not this stupid bitch using the royal we fuckin hate him

HES number one. Why is 1 get to be a special Pokémon trainer and the other kids are stuck??

Okay so NOW we get a Kali mention. So Kali did escape when she was like 3????? Bro what?????

“It wasn’t popular until I made it popular” everything Steve says is comedy just looking at him makes me smile a stupid fucking smile (also what is with his pants WHERE are the tight tight little jeans)

Okay but he’s RIGHT

WOW Patrick was targeted bc he’s been abused stranger things killing off ANOTHER abused kid just for the fun of it. Cool.

Goddamn thank god Lucas is getting back to his old self being THE MOST caring and thoughtful person I missed him

Robin SHUT UP do not talk about rekindling old flames NO ONE WANTS STEVE AND NANCY BACK TOGETHER STEVE HAS TOLD YOU THATS HES OVER HER PLS PLS PLS shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I do like robin and Nancy getting closer like this though I think it’s good for them both

“bada bing bada boom” Italian Steve #confirmed

“In your stupid cocky little face” “you just can’t admit that you’re wrong you little butthead” your honor hes everything to me

Not Steve’s hair all slicked back like that WHAT

He’s never looked better

CLAUDIA HENDERSON

Bro Jason literally GO AWAY I fucking can’t with this satanic panic shit I know this is like. How it was but. I hate it I hate it here

Bash Jason’s head in with a rock challenge

Claudia fucking crying while Jason is saying Dustin is in a cult

“Last night I was overcome with this feeling of hopelessness. Then I remembered Romans 12:21” GO AWAY

I hate this I hate this I hate this

Jason as some weird religious Archie Andrews is just nothing that I wanted

I played my sister this scene bc it was so beyond shitty and she was like bro wtf

Claudia and Karen and Mrs. Sinclair making pointed eye contact with one another

Suzie has TWO byu flag things in her room this girl sucks

(Pls find the Black Menaces on Instagram and tiktok to understand the scope of why byu is a fucking nightmare)

Suzie and this guilt thing it’s bc Mormons use guilt like a fucking weapon so they can’t deal when they do something Bad

“I was dating an agnostic” also mos aren’t supposed to date until 16 sooo

Oh shot the pta is here Claudia Henderson loml

“A stake is like a vamp-is he a vampire?” STEVE HARRINGTON CANON BUFFY FAN YES YES YES THIS IS WVERYTHING IVE EVER NEEDED PLEASE GOD OH SHIT OH SHIT wow the way Steve’s whole life revolves around the original movie omg he’s gonna be so excited when the tv show comes out

“Everything was like way easier. We had this girl. She had superpowers.” I’m just writing down literally everything he says

BACK TO THE COMPASS YES love that they’ve brought this back from season one so so happy with that call back

“Snack size gate”

Steve #1 drama queen award

“What’s say you Eddie the Banished” I love that they’ve never stopped making Dustin’s weirdness his #1 personality trait

“I say you’re asking me to follow you into Mordor” literally he’s billy from every single fic over written FUCK

Brenner teaching them to be emotionless fighting machines bitch disgusting

So does this mean Kali is the only one with different powers???

There’s so many plots happening that every I only remember who’s on screen at a time like the California gang and the Russia gang are not in my brain unless they’re on screen

But this Murray yuri parent trap princess switch FUCKS I love this idea so so much

This fight is gotta be staged to help them get out

CALLED IT

The way hopper s a fucking genius I can’t. Like, you want head?

Anyway in case you’re wondering how the Mormons are doing

Badly.

I was gonna make a joke earlier about how the names aren’t Mormon enough and I was gonna specifically say “where’s the tanner?” Bc I have 3 cousins named tanner BUT one of the kids IS named tanner there you go

“What’s the internet” “don’t worry about it”

Suzie is the og dataminer

“I think we just spooked a skunk” NOPE JUST YOUR SISTER HOTBOXING WITH ARGYLE amazing

The writers have watched to much fucking riverdake I hate it here

“Who put her in charge?” “I did.” GAY

“Bedtime at nine kiddos. Miss you already!” R O B I N

Bro what the FUCK is going on in here on this day

These older kids are wildin out “you shamed me today” ????

Yeah I really think Kali is the only one with unique powers good for her

“Unless one of you can top being a Hawkins high swim team co-captain and a certified lifeguard for three years it’s gotta be me. No complaints, alright?” SWIMMER STEVE CONFIRMED

YES CHEST HAIR YES YES YES HES SO HOT I AM LOOKING DISRESPECTFULLY I AM OBJECTIFYING

“I keep telling him he needs to take that jungle” no he does NOT

MAX HELL YES

I love her just shameless ogling Steve she deserves it. She totally always thought he was hit and billy would make fun of her for it and she’d be like ‘you think he’s hot too shut up’

Lucas just looking back and forth between the boat and max for twenty minutes this is a comedy show

God this Nancy/Steve shit I wish I was dead

Okay that dive did not say swim team co captain Steven

Omg Dustin’s tiny singular giggle after saying watergate king shit

Not Steve painlessly holding his breath for an hour and a half

Okay but the way his hand was shaking as he went to touch the gate membrane thing

Oh shit they’re doing a good job ramping up the tension here with the cops showing up and the vines reaching up for this group

“More of a snack sized gate than a mama gate but still” love u

That moment when he first gets yanked and then he looks at them, looks down, then looks back at them and then gets yanked harder. Amazing

Wow rip to Steve’s ankle

Oh SHIT Dustin and Lucas don’t realize the whole town is fucking hunting them FUCK

Oh god of course robin is a nose plugger

Eddie’s voice raising twelve octaves while he’s yelling and freaking out king shit

Steve first time in the upside down welcome 2 hell baby love

So in tremors 1 we have the graboids. Season 1 we have the demogorgons. The biggest, full size version of the creatures. Completely practical effects. Maintained anonymous until final reveal while attacking protagonist. Tremors 2: aftershocks brings shriekers and season 2 brings demodogs. Smaller creatures that have ability to run on land. Smarter but also dumber than the full size. Tremors 3: back to perfection has ass-blasters and season 4 has demobats. This ‘flying’ counterpart utilizes the most disappointing cgi of the 3 and feels a bit forced.

Steve getting choked 👀

Oh jesus christ these fuckers are really dining out on our Steven. He really though he was gonna die alone in the upside down being eaten alive by monsters oh god oh fuck

Wow good ending here

[goji-pilled]

oh, oh ho ho HO stranguh! u just opened th flood works for my recent brainrot!!! *large inhale of breath*

When Anthony was allowed to go to middle school (*cough didnt appear in th world outta nowhere*) he met two tweens chilling by themselves on th rooftop of Mitakihara Middle/High school. One was a boi who i shall affectionately call yosuke (until i find a better full name) and a girl who gave him MG vibes named Haruka.

The boi is a jokester, often plays up the role of comic relief to make sure his besties arent so far down in th dumps that he cant help them anymore. Often plays up the "Wow Anthy! How come you get 3 moms?" joke with Haruka, who is always left in awe of how cool his family is.

It totally isnt because she's heard legend of the Holy Septet, the Coven, the Magical Warriors, all nicknames for the team of seven super ultra badass MGs. Totally not a fangirl. Didn't ask Akemi Fucking Homura for autograph or anything, naw crazy talk.

Eventually after an encounter with Ryuji th Bully tailing the three of em, they all end up getting caught in the labyrinth of a witch. Cue Yosuke and Ryuji bein scared shitless while Haruka does her best to (poorly) act scared while Anthony is just like "Ah shit. Here we go again."

I need you to understand he said that word for the word. The kids a prankster and memelord in middle school and in his first high school year.

That was the day Anthony outted himself as a Familiar turned Witch and the day he accidrntally outed Haruka as an MG with "Why arent you scared? You should be terrified right now?" Then they start crossing notes and realize all the times where they vanished or diverged paths after hang outs nd school and are like "How did we not notice?"

Then Anthony doesnt show up to class one day. Or the next day. Then a week passes and he's back in class, and no one seems to care or noticed that he was gone. The trio had radio silence from Anthony and were deathly worried. Yosuke and Haruka went to visit him when he finally showed back up in class, but he ended up not heading home that day. When they tried to fimd him at home they were shocked.

The Kaname-Akemi household was in ruin, almost as if they were targeted in an attack of sorts. Walls were scratched and damaged, glass littered where the windows once stood and the roof seemed to cave in. The entire home was barely standing.

Yosuke was horrified. Ryuji was left in shock. Haruka had a grim face, eyes shaking at the sight, her whole body trembling. She threw up down the street.

They try asking for answers from Anthony at lunch the next day. He stared at the with a blank smile, eyes dark and bags hanging under them. Eventually he stared long and hard at Haruka and spoke for the first time, his voice raspy and worn out.

"What do you know of the MGs in Mitakihara?"

The thinly veiled "tell me everything you know or else" was heard by all of them. Yosuke was scared, Ryuji pissed that goody two shoes is treating his pals like trash, Haruka stood still.

Then she told him where MGs usually went to when they first come out of town.

That was a day before reports of the Mitakihara Massacres started showing up. Each report telling a more brutal killing and increasing number of bodies for the following six months.

The group ended up falling out of touch with each other. Yosuke kept to himself, silent and lost in thought as he tried to think up of ways to help Anthony, and pray that he wasnt linked in any way. Ryuji went back to bullying other students, but they were mainly the assholes in groups of friends. He was making sure people got the memo to not treat their friends like trash.

Haruka counted the days until Anthony eventually finds out she was there, and kills her too.

normie thoughts! ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

*grabs you by the shoulder* this brainrot, its all very good.

we need, more.

[multi-lefaiye]

happy blorbo blursday!!! i will ask a question i hope u will like

if ur characters were thrown into different saw movies and traps, what are their chances of survival? what traps would they go to?

happy blorbo blursday to you as well!!! oh this is a fun one thank you :3c

so full disclosure i am still, in fact, very new to this franchise, and most of what i know after the first movie has been from me reading the wiki articles about the traps and going "wow that's fucked up" over and over. THAT BEING SAID, i'll talk about two ones i know and think are interesting conceptually and which characters would probably have the best chance. focusing on magic apocalyptica because that's what's rotating in my head the most rn.

putting under the cut, content warnings for descriptions of murder and torture (nothing graphic but still tread lightly!)!!

Bathroom Trap: So the bathroom trap is the one I care about the most and the one I know the most about, so that's probably gonna be. The one I mainly talk about.

Anyway, out of the Magic Apocalyptica cast, the one I can most likely see ending up in this situation is Howl, so for fun I'll throw Jackrabbit in, too, since those two are besties. AU where this is how they meet (actually not too far off from how Jackrabbit got his magic in the first place, but that's not what this is about).

So, a refresher for those who don't know the bathroom trap: the long and short of it is that two people are trapped in a bathroom, chained to separate pipes, and given a time limit to get out. There are clues hidden around the room, but otherwise there's not much to help them. Also, one of them is tasked with killing the other to be set free, and the other is just tasked with surviving and escaping. So, cool.

I think Howl would probably be tasked with killing Jackrabbit, but he wouldn't actually try to do it. He's a scoundrel, but he's not that kind of guy. However, I think he wouldn't saw off his foot or anything either, mainly because he is SO squeamish when it comes to blood. Like he might consider it but he wouldn't do it. Would Jackrabbit do it? Good question. If this is before Jackrabbit loses his arm, then maybe, but who knows! He's more likely to do so than Howl.

Anyway I think that Howl and Jackrabbit would both make it out, if only because I think it's possible that they'd team up and overpower Jigsaw at the first opportunity. They work very well together and they're both crafty motherfuckers, and I can see them finagling a way out.

Shotgun Carousel: Okay so this is the only other trap I've read about in a lot of depth (aside from some of the Nerve Gas House ones but those ones squick me out so <3) and it's one that seems kinda funky and creative to me. So I"ll also do this one.

So for those who don't know this one, the Shotgun Carousel is like. A bunch of people are chained to a carousel thing, and every now and then it stops with one person in front of a loaded shotgun. The only person not attached to the carousel has the opportunity to stop the shotgun from firing at them, but they cannot stop it from firing. It's going to fire the exact number of times needed to kill everyone, and the person outside the carousel can only stop it twice because every time they stop it, they get injured themself.

My first thought was going into the logistics of who would end up here, but the one I think is most likely to get out of this with as few casualties as possible is Gaia. Is this because Gaia and their fucky blood magic could find a loophole? Maybe. But if magic isn't allowed or somehow isn't a factor, I still can see Gaia trying to find a loophole through this. Depending on who's in the carousel at least.

I did just get the mental image of Gaia being given the chance to rescue either some of their coworkers or some of the subjects taken to the New Moon facility. That might be something fucked up to explore in the story.

Who would end up in a Saw trap in general: I just wanted to make a note that I think Prometheus would end up in a Saw trap and I have a vague idea of what would happen to him there and how it would go but I don't know how to express it.

--

Okay so I don't know if I answered this at all the way you wanted me to, but this was an interesting thought exercise! I am very entertained by the mental image of Jackrabbit and Howl teaming up to maul Jigsaw and claw their way out of the bathroom trap, and I also like the idea of Gaia being faced with a horrific, fucked up, painful choice. Probably not gonna do this specifically, and I probably won't even use it as inspiration too much, but I think Gaia should have some tough choices. And I think Prometheus would absolutely piss Jigsaw off and get tested for very personal, petty reasons.

[allinmycorner]

I remember going home when I was in middle school, grabbing a snack and then settling down to watch TRL to see what the top videos were for that day. I was a big Backstreet Boy fan so I always cheered for them to be on the list and hoped they were number one. But I loved watching the music videos and I also loved Pop-Up video, where they would put facts either about the song, the video or just some fun trivia (like popping up a fact about how most people in Africa are Muslim so they don't celebrate Christmas during the video for "Do They Know It's Christmas?").

So I was pretty excited for this theme night.

Paula Abdul joined the panel to judge the remaining stars as they danced routines inspired by some iconic music videos. They were tasked to incorporate the dance moves from the videos while remaining true to the dance style assigned to them. And then in the second round, we had the team dances.

Who is still standing after Music Video Night and who had to say Bye, Bye, Bye? Find out!

Lele and Brandon: Lele had a great night and Brandon was right that she didn't deserve to go home. It looks like the judges agreed - I caught Derek mouthing "Wow" after her elimination and then he and a concerned-looking Bruno had a pow-wow. She was assigned to dance to Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever" and rose to the challenge, letting her hips do the talking. Yes, she her lifts were a little clunky but everything else was amazing. She should've made it further but I'm glad she made as far as she did. We'll miss you, Lele.

Ariana and Pasha: This is likely to become another iconic routine. Ariana really channeled Britney for her cha-cha to "I'm a Slave 4 U" and I think incorporated the classic moves best into her cha-cha. She really did nail the middle where she led the pros in the routine from the video. Everyone was absolutely on point and Ariana looked like a pro herself. No wonder she topped the leaderboard and earned immunity from the dance off next time!

Xochitl and Val: Xochitl talked about directing a music video for a friend and how it was a great experience. She and Val then did a jazz routine to Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" and she handled it well until she had a little malfunction with her costume. She struggled to put on the replica of Stefani's band coat and her hat fell off. But she seemed to recover nicely to finish the routine, though the stumble did cost her some points with the judges.

Charity and Artem: I was a bit surprised Charity ended up in the bottom three but I think it might be the jolt she needs. The judges gave her some good critiques for her jazz routine to Janet Jackson's "All for You" but I don't know if she can achieve the one thing she needs to really elevate her performances - have an emotional connection rather than just focusing on being technically perfect. All the female pros spent time with her and had a brunch with her but I don't know if it's something you can teach. Paula talked about how Janet Jackson tapped into her inner power and channeled that, which is what Charity needs to do. I just don't know if she can.

Jason and Daniella: I don't know why Derek thought Jason's routine was more of a Week 1 or 2 dance. I thought it was great. One of the judges noted it was a proper jazz routine and I thought it felt like something that would be performed on Broadway. Jason and Daniella really captured the feel of "Take On Me" and still made it feel fresh and new. I think they should've been higher.

Alyson and Sasha: I think Charity needs to learn from Alyson. While Alyson isn't the most technical dancer, there is something about her ability to connect with the music that elevates them. I could tell she was having fun with her quickstep to Christina Aguilera's "Candyman" and she let that give her energy to tackle the dance. And it shone through in her performance, drawing people in. That's what Charity needs to tap into and channel to elevate her performances.

Barry and Peta: Barry's reaction to seeing Bruno in the video for Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" was priceless. I loved it. He also had a lot of fun with his quickstep, much like Peta. There were times where it didn't feel very "quick" but I'm not sure if that was due to the music or Barry. Because when he did step it up, he handled it well and made the routine shine. Either way, it was pretty fun to watch - especially when he got to shower Bruno with some glitter.

Harry and Rylee: Harry and Rylee were assigned to dance a jazz routine to NSYNC's "It's Gonna Be Me" so Lance Bass stopped by to give Harry some tips and to help with the choreography. During the routine, Harry was strongest when dancing the video choreography with Gleb and Alan but didn't carry that confidence over when he was dancing with Rylee. There's more to say about Harry but I'll wait for the team dances.

Now it's time for the team dances! Harry and Alyson were appointed the team captains. Harry chose Lele, Xochitl and Charity for his team and they were assigned Gangnam Style as their song. So they chose to name themselves Team Young 'N Style since everyone on the team were younger members of the competition. Meanwhile, Alyson's team included Jason, Ariana and Barry and they were assigned "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" for their song. So they decided to call themselves Team 4 Everybody.

Team Young 'N Style: This was a fun routine to watch. Everyone was in sync and rose to the challenge. I believe Lele and Brandon had the strongest solo portion and it just highlighted how much of a shame it was that they were eliminated. Derek noted afterwards that Harry is better in a group than solo and I have to agree. He was strongest when everyone danced together but was weak in his solo portion. Unfortunately, I don't think he and Rylee can just dance in a group until the end of the competition so he needs to figure out how to bring that to his solo routines.

Team 4 Everybody: It was another fun routine though maybe not as tight as Team Young 'N Style's. Jason, Alyson and Ariana had strong solo sections while Barry's was the weakest. But they clearly had a lot of fun together and I think Alyson really stepped up as the team captain. I also loved the end where they all switched partners and danced in same sex couples. And I loved how much of a Backstreet fan Ariana is that she nearly collapsed in tears when AJ McLean walked into the room to give them some pointers in rehearsal. Same, Ariana, same.

And Music Video Night is in the books. I wonder after a string of unexpected eliminations - Mira, Mauricio and now Lele - if the producers are considering bringing back the judges' save. Or maybe we'll go the entire season without it. Right now, I feel I could only understand Alyson possibly winning it all as she has been the most improved dancer in my opinion. But I guess we'll see what happens next time.

Speaking of next time, Billy Porter will be the guest judge as the remaining couples dance to the music of the one and only Whitney Huston. Can't wait to share my thoughts on those performances as well as the dance off!

See you then!

DEAN TV LOVE VII: EPISODE 36: LOUISE MEETS NEON LOUISE

Hello and welcome to the 36th episode of Dean Tv love 7, on the 15th of September 2023. The 341st edition of the Tv love series. Last week’s episode was the 340th episode and we have the 341st episode now.

The title sequence starts off with the train arriving to the Dean Tv love section. Everyone got out of the train, as the P.O.V guy turned on the screen to show the guru then the Tv love logo appears. The audience cheered, the monitor shows the number 341. Dean with the 3 presenters leaving Louise cafe. “Hello and welcome to another episode of Dean Tv love season 7, episode 36 which is the 341st episode” said Alec. “We are getting to the end, we have 9 episodes left” said Zara. “We had been going behind the scenes for this episode” said Kaden. “Yeah my friend’s episode, the production team used a lot of CGI and blue screen back drops” said Dean. “So what’s the title for this edition?” asked Kaden. “Louise meets neon Louise” said Dean. The guru appears on the screen. “Yes it is, time to watch” he said. The episode begins, it takes place on Thursday the 14th of September 2023, Thursday night. Dean and Louise finished watching a movie, the same movie they watched back in December 2022. During the Christmas holiday, the 2 went upstairs to their bedrooms. To sleep but one night, a portal appeared in Louise’s room. A person came out of it, it is another Louise with a red T shirt. Louise could not believe her eyes, the other Louise looked at her. “Hey you’re me” said Louise. “Yes I am, I am from the neon universe of Dean Tv” said the other Louise. “You have my red shirt like me” said Louise. “I know but my red shirt has writing on it” said the other Louise. Louise looks at the shirt, it says same 2 u. The same sentence what Louise says every year during new years day. The other Louise took the real Louise to the neon universe. Louise sees everyone wearing red tops on, Louise is so curious about it. “Why are they wearing red shirts on?” asked Louise. “Because they are the neons” said the neon Louise.

“Are you a neon?” asked Louise. Neon Louise nodded. “Yes I am” she said. The neon Louise looks at Louise’s blue shirt. Neon Louise used her power to turn the blue shirt into a red shirt. “Now you wearing one” said Neon Louise. “Wow” said Louise. The neon Louise show Louise everything in the neon universe, Louise sees a lot of things what the real universe doesn’t have. Like cars that can fly etc.

During Louise’s visit she had some food to eat. At a restaurant, food being made by robots.

Then suddenly the robots went out of control and started to cause trouble inside the restaurant. Which is cause by computer bugs. The costumers ran away, Louise looked around. “What’s going here?” asked Louise. Neon Louise sees the danger, neon Louise transform into a superhero. By using two triangles that are pink and blue combining together into a star. Neon Louise’s hair turned blue with red lipstick on her lips. Neon Louise fires stars at the robots, Louise avoided the robots. The computer bugs popped out of the robots. Neon Louise sees who’s behind the situation. It is a villain. “It was you who did this” said Neon Louise. “You again?” said the villain. Louise looked at the villain. “It was him?” she said. The villain looked at Louise. The villain fires computer bugs at Louise but her necklace deflect the villain’s attack. Neon Louise is surprised. “What?” said the villain. The villain did the same thing as Louise uses necklace to fend off the computer bugs. The villain is angry. He went away. “Am out of here” he said. Louise laughed. Neon Louise smiled.

Later that day they all good food and drink as a reward of saving the restaurant, saving the workers and saving the costumers. Louise returned back to the real Dean Tv universe in the Dean Tv mansion, in her bedroom. Wearing her blue shirt on.

The next day Friday, Louise told Dean that she met her other self in the neon universe. Dean is intrigued about what she is saying. Dean noticed that the stuff what Louise is saying is featured on the Dean Tv love series book what the man from the future gave to Dean. After Dean had his breakfast, he reads the page of episode 36 of the 7th season. Till one day Dean sees a picture of Louise being illustrated by neon Louise. A picture of Louise sitting down on the floor laughing with her eyes closed. Dean is confused but he liked it.

The episode ends with the audience cheering. “A great episode, this is my favourite” said Zara. “Yeah and here are some footages of behind the scenes” said Alec. The footage shows the production team using computers. The team use CGI blue hair on Louise’s head, the lipstick is real. The robots are CGI and so are the computer bugs. The production uses an effect showing Louise and her neon self. She had a dual role in this episode, playing herself and her other self. Her other self was also played by a stand in. “Yes that’s how the episode was made” said Dean. “Tune next week for episode 37 bye” said Alec.

They all waved bye as the end credits appeared.

Nose Taps (spencer reid x reader)

overview: the newest member of the bau develops a cute secret language with the resident genius

genre: fluff

a/n: this is my first fic so my apologies if its bad lol i tried. also its very short sorry ! but yeah lmk if u like it :)

masterlist

From the first day you walked through the doors of the BAU, you were incredibly charming in a unique way. You knew exactly how to talk to everyone, an amazing intuition letting you know just what to do. Spencer's curiosity had fallen on you; he was absolutely enthralled by your entire being.

the first thing that caught his attention was when you hand had accidentally grazed his.

it was a small meaningless gesture as you slipped past him, but he thought about it for weeks afterwards, in a good way. he thought about your smile as you apologized for "bumping into him". he missed the tingles that shot up his arm where your skin met his.

the second thing was much larger, he began to notice your kindness.

on only your second day in the office you stayed late to help hotch with paperwork so he could get home to jack faster. it was not a selfish act to get on his good side, rather an act of complete and utter kindness.

you brought JJ cheetos when she was feeling down because you saw her munching on them on the jet once.

you even got morgan to talk about his feelings for 4 hours one night after something was clearly bothering him. and morgan never talks about his feelings.

though you had just recently met them, you showed them how sweet you were without even trying. and Spencer Reid was no exception.

you stayed attentive to everyone who spoke to you, and when you noticed that people would often interrupt him or brush him off, it didn't sit right with you. after talking to him about it, the two of you developed a system. every time he didn't get to finish his thought, you would tap your nose to show him you noticed and wanted to hear about it later. then, at the end of the day, either in the hotel or on the jet, you would tally up the number of nose taps and he would get to ramble about all of it to you. it wasnt intentionally a secret but it was kept between you two, your little thing.

spencer thought it was the most endearing and kind thing anyone had done for him.

and you ate up every second of it, watching his eyes grow wide and then crinkle at the corners when he grew giddy about a certain statistic or historical story. you didn't understand how anyone could not want to listen to him.

soon, however, the nose taps evolved into something more. a whole little language grew between the two of you.

one nose tap from either party meant "im listening".

two nose taps meant "i have to tell you something".

three meant "i have to tell you asap".

an eyebrow tap meant "this reminded me of you" or "im thinking about you".

so on and so forth.

the team picked up on this little code between the two of you, but couldn't for the life of them understand what it all meant or when it had started. to be fair, they didn't have much time to decode while on cases.

to Spencer, this secret language was his most treasured peice of knowledge. And to you, it was your most treasured secret. and to both, unforgettable.

though Spencer had noticed your striking beauty when he first laid eyes on you, spending tome with you only intensified it. he found himself often marveling at the little details, especially on the jet.

the way your hair fell on your shoulders, the angle of your eyelashes, the blush that graced your cheeks when you laughed, the way you chew on your lip when you're thinking, even the barely noticeable wrinkles you have in your forehead from raising your eyebrows all the time. he was falling helplessly in love with every bit of you.

you did that same to him. admiring the itty bitty bump on the bridge of his nose right above the perfect little button tip, the curls in his hair, the way he puckered up a little as he talked, the way his whole face would crinkle up when he laughed really hard, his eyes squinting so hard they were barely visible. you were falling helplessly in love with every bit of him.

the team had OBVIOUSLY picked up on this, and though they would tease the both of you in private, they didn't dare embarrass you in front of each other. they weren't that sadistic. or so you thought.

one evening at rossis the team decided to have a powerpoint night. everyone chose a funny topic to make a power point and present about.

jj went first, presenting the slideshow titled "ways my clashing aesthetics present themselves through my sons"

next went morgan: "reasons i should be allowed to not wear a shirt under my bullet proof vest".

followed by Rossi who did "list of the fakest Italians weve ever encountered (they cant even pronounce gnocchi)"

after him was prentiss with "things i did while pretending to be dead"

and then hotch who made "ranking the bau from most to least childish"

then you went with "animals i think all of you resemble"

followed by reid who did "top 5 worst hospitals based on jello rating"

and last but not least, garcia. she went with "agents i think should just get married already we are literally not getting any younger"

you all laughed until the slide moved and there was a picture of Spencer and you, asleep on each other on the jet. his arm was wrapped around you protectively as you were cuddled up to his chest. you looked over at spencer who was matching your bright red face.

"y/n and spencer." garcia spoke before clicking to the next slide.

"wow she just cut right to the chase huh," prentiss laughed.

more images that the team had sneakily taken of the two of you riddled the screen.

one of you braiding his hair. one of him wiping frosting on your face from your birthday. on of the two of you mid laugh, mirroring each other exactly. a few more of you two on the jet, on cases, or even out at bars or at rossis with the rest of the team. so many of them and as much as you were embarrassed, you really loved all of those pictures.

"i really dont think i need to explain much, these speak for themselves," garcia chirped.

"i like that one," reid spoke up, pointing to the braiding one. ok so were going about that like this.

"i was just about to say that, but this ones also a close contender," you replied pointing to the frosting one.

"and that my friends, concludes my slide show!" garcia laughed.

"wait seriously? just us?" you laughed.

"yea.." she started, a giddy smile decorating her face. you looked over at Spencer and tapped your nose twice. he did it back but three times, cracking a cheesy grin. "see! and they have their little secret nose code thing! is that not relationship material?"

"you guys noticed?" spencer asked, clearly oblivious.

"duh." rossi joked.
