Hi cate it’s one in the morning and I can’t get this off my mind Garcia taking Reid to a concert he was hesitant to go to at first because he usually doesn’t enjoy places like those but then when he hears readers start just like BELTING with amazing vocals and I mean like vocal’s he low key catches a quick interest in her…maybe could this be a one shot/blurb?? 🤍

yes !! i am so into Noah Kahan at the moment that it had to be him

"Come on, you've got to come with me." Penelope groans, standing in front of Spencer's desk.

"I've been to, like, five concerts in my life." He protests, trying to find any way to stay home. "And I don't know the songs. There's got to be someone else you can take."

She shakes her head. "Nope, everyone has plans. Come on, we go to conventions together. This isn't much different."

He scoffs. "The germs in a situation like a pit are astounding." He reminds her. "Not to mention what listening to loud music does to the ear."

"You're coming." She says decisively. "And you're going to love it/ We can even get matching merch."

Spencer knows there's no point in arguing with her. He couldn't win, and he wouldn't want to disappoint her. Plus, what's really the worst that can happen? He'll be there for a few hours, makes sure Penelope gets home safe, and be in bed with a book by 11.

"Okay, fine, let's go." He agrees, getting up and grabbing his bag.

He underestimated how long it would take for her to get ready, and how many people would be there, and honestly, he's feeling slightly nervous about being there.

"You're going to love it," Penelope assures him, squeezing his hands reassuringly before going back to talking about her favorite songs.

Spencer can appreciate the harmonies of the singer and how the chords are structured. It's not as bad as he thought. Halloween hits home, and he thinks about calling Ethan.

Penelope nudges his arm at some point, nodding to the girl standing next to them, you. Spencer's already noticed. He's got a sixth sense for people watching him, born out of his years of FBI training.

"She's cute," Penelope tells him.

He smiles slightly just watching you dance so carefreely. "I know."

"Well, talk to her." She urges. "She probably thinks we're together." He understands how you, or anyone, would come to that assumption.

He's about to before the Stick Season gets to its first chorus and you're belting out the lyrics by heart. "And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks and I Saw your mom she forgot that I existed and It's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas"

He leans down to talk to you in for his knight in shining armor moment when you almost drop your phone, too focused on singing and screaming. "Would you like me to hold it? I can film much steadier."

"Please." You say, eagerly handing your phone over. He's tall, too, incredibly helpful in getting good footage.

He spends most of the time looking at you, and he finds even more courage to talk to you when there's an interlude between songs. "I'm Spencer." He introduces himself.

"Y/n." You do the same thing. "And thank you. Your height is a great advantage." He chuckles at that. "Are you a fan, too? Just the silent type?"

He shakes his head. "Maybe after tonight. I really just came here for my friend." He emphasizes the last word, making sure you understand the relationship.

You wave at Penelope, who's grinning proudly at Spencer's bravery. "Cool. Is there any way I can bribe you to film the rest of this for me?" You ask slyly.

"I'll do it regardless." He tells you nobly, not wanting you to feel pressured into anything.

"You can have my number anyway." You offer, reaching out to hold his arm, the pen that was in your bag hovering over it. "If you want."

"Please." He nods, letting you write it on your skin without reservation.

When you pull away, it hits him that it's your number, not 822-993-167, and he can use it to call you with it.

I hope I’m not one of the few people that thinks that Toman 2.0 still has a chance? I mean i was just thinking of some of the possible matchups and:

Shion vs. Peh: Shion will get one-shot…As he always does..

Ran and Rindou vs. Smiley and Angry: Angry was able to take them down as the “blue ogre” so I definitely can’t wait to see their reactions to seeing him again. XD And he has Smiley this time around so I can see it as their win

Sanzu vs. Benkei, Wakasa, and Senju: Yeah I definitely think Benkei and Waka are going to join up with Toman during the battle. Their bond with Senju is too deep for them not to (and maybe this was what Waka had meant when he told Takemichi to “Take care of Brahman’s princess“, as in let her continue to be the badass she is)

Koko vs. Inui: Yeah this was obvious. I’m hoping they’re able to kiss and make-up sort out the Akane mess and realize that they both care about each other

Mochi vs. Pah: Idk I just see this matchup making sense

Hanma vs. Mitsuya and Hakkai: Yeah I can’t imagine only one person being able to take down Hanma it’s definitely going to be a multiple person job. Draken also fought Hanma twice so it makes sense for Mitsuya to finish the job

Kakucho vs. Chifuyu: I’m actually looking forward to this possible pair up. I mean they both have dead boyfriends so I can imagine them having some sort of conversation about that. Or Chifuyu can be a savage and say, “So you’re so obsessed with finding a leader that you chose the guy Izana hated the most? Izana must really hate you right now.“

Mikey vs. Takemichi: The ultimate fight! Not going to lie I low-key feel like this may end up like the Pikachu vs. Pikachu fight during the first Pokemon movie with Takemichi refusing to fight back and Mikey crying, telling him to fight XD So I definitely think that Takemichi is going have to scold Mikey like “an older brother would“ because he’s not beating Mikey in a battle unless Takemichi gets his own dark impulses. And then when Mikey is contemplative about what Takemichi said, he can land one punch—like he did with Taiju—and Mikey is finally able to see the sky and taste defeat. Or Takemichi can also be a savage and say, “Mikey I’ve seen you kill our friends in past timelines, you’ve killed me. But, allowing the guy that helped kill Emma in your gang? Manjiro, if Draken was alive, he would hate you. ” RIP Takemitchy you’re definitely dying if you say that but imagine though

But yeah just wanted to say that the battle isn’t completely hopeless! And we also have the Mizo Middle!!

I actually generally think toman will win this, I think they're a lot more determined to win and actually have something to fight for. Toman simply wants the win more, they're going to be fighting with everything they've got. Also haven't we seen this before? Like when they went against Tenjiku and everyone assumed they would lose because of all the strong characters they had. The point is nobody should be underestimating or counting toman out yet. They've faced these odds before and come out on top.

I'm actually hoping that we won't get the same match ups as before, I don't want to see another Peh vs Shion and Angry vs the Haitani brothers, it would be more interesting to mix it up. Though I can't argue against the symbolism of one pair of brothers fighting the other. Also if Peh fights Shion then I really hope it starts with Shion saying some crap about how "he's gotten stronger then last time" only to be immediately taken down again.

I also think you're giving Sanzu waaaay to much credit here, he only managed to fight Ran and maybe Rindou???? To a draw, if he has to go against Senju, Waka and Benkei then he's not even lasting a minute. I'm hoping Senju can fight by herself too.

Yeah I can see another Koko and Inui confrontation happening either with a fight or with one of them sacrificing their own life to save the other. I'm also totally on board with the Mochi vs Pah, it just makes sense.

I actually think Mitsuya could potentially take down Hanma solo, Hanma is another character who i think we tend to overpower a bit. He blocked Mikey's kick like once, then made Draken fight a bunch of other guys before drawing with him, then got beaten by Draken after crashing his bike. I think the only character he's actually beaten is Chifuyu and that's not much of an accomplishment. So it's hard to say exactly how strong he is, we also have the same problem with Mitsuya though. Who keeps getting taken out of fights before we can see what he can do, like when Inui ambushed him or when Ran ambushed him or when Rindou/Shion ambushed him. So who really knows???

Chifuyu's getting stomped if he has to fight Kakucho though, Kakucho's been established as one of the stronger members and Chifuyu's never won a real fight, so rip Chifuyu. I do like the similarities between them though, I also have a feeling that Kakucho might switch sides during all this???

Yeah Takemichi is definitely going to have to come up with some kind of heart felt speech to get through to Mikey though. But I actually think Takemichi will have to fight someone else first, sort of like how he had to go up against Kakucho to get to Kisaki in the Tenjiku fight. Maybe we get Chifuyu and Takemichi against Kakucho? Before he switches sides??? Takemichi's definitely getting a beating before he manages to help Mikey though.

And of course they have the mizo middle gang, that just means their victory is 100% assured.

(1/4) Waking up and seeing the new chapter of sbtmas was the most pleasant surprise I had today! I underestimated how much I missed the interactions between the marauders before the Prank happened. I almost teared up when james finally hugged sirius. But I definitely can see why he would have a hard time forgiving him. I've seen headcanons about how james would immediately forgive him after pranks and it honestly made no sense to me. I mean, we know he values friendship a lot (he trusted his

!!! I wrote it on a complete whim! I wasn't actually supposed to write the next chapter until the end of October haha! Random wave of inspo really got me :)

And I'm so excited to finally write the marauders as a whole and how they'll navigate from now on. (and yeah, I got low-key kinda emo when James hugged sirius too).

(2/4) friends more than he trusted dumbledore and considired it a great dishonor to do otherwise, became an illegal animagus etc.), and sirius is his best friend. A betrayal like sirius' would have a huge impact on him, right? But the part with him being a clique with mc and the girls made me laugh so hard. The only thing I could imagine was a mean girl-esque moment where they all look at sirius and say "you can't sit with us". Speaking of sirius, I'm so happy that he formed a bond with

And yeah! I completely agree with James not forgiving Sirius right away. I tried to make it (semi) clear in this chapter that James was angrier than Remus bc of the betrayal. I think he's far more level headed with his stance considering Remus' is blurred with his own guilt and constant want to have friends/not be seen as a 'monster.'

And lollll, I can imagine James' harden gaze fixated on Sirius, judging him as he and the MC shit talk lmfao.

(3/4) Mcgonagall during that time. And that whole part with him willing to try to be better and stay away from his former bad habits, despite the urge to go back to his old ways and be evil like his family was beautifully written as well. I loved how you used this prank as something that plays a huge impact in his arc when even the original books did not bother to show how him and james changed their ways and became the people we know. Also, "He was afraid that he’d never be happy,

Aw thank you! I was nervous about how that part of Sirius refusing his old habits would come off.

(4/4) to live a fulfilling life, that he’d continue to remain and grow into someone he hated." Oh Padfoot, I have some bad news for you! But overall, I'm so happy to see the small improvement and complicated feelings between remus and sirius due to remus' forgivness. Again, I've always wanted to have more insight into their friendship when I was reading the books, with the whole prank and "I thought you were a spy" thing and this was such a satisfying read. -🌸

I'm gonna be completely honest, I did not like how that chapter came out lol. Originally, before it was deleted, I planned the 'reunion' of the marauders to be stretched out for two chapters after chapter 42 (you drew stars around my scars). Admittedly, it's laziness on my part, but I did not want to rewrite two chapters of emotional turmoil and then be brunt out for another month. So I kinda just mushed it into one chapter. I think it was a bit rushed and wish I did more 'showing' rather than telling / explanations. But I'm happy that the overall feedback so far has been positive and a satisfying 'end' to the prank.

Thank you as always for reading and sending in an ask. I hope your week will be nothing short of amazing and hopefully relaxing while you work on your embroidery :D xx

Ok I just wanna say some things about Jane and Raf, and why Raf is my favorite character on the show. (Low key I never use Tumblr so I'm sorry if this post is weird/ formatted wrong- feel free to repost this on your account in a better format if you want haha). Let me know your thoughts! I think people really underestimate the amount of hardship that Rafael has experienced, specifically regarding his family. (Cont.)

To have a (non-biological) dad never truly be proud of you, to have a mom who chose money over you, to learn that your dad isn’t actually your dad and then learn that he was killed, to be constantly worried about your sister- and much, MUCH more is incredibly tough.

Because of all of these things- all Raf EVER wanted was a family. He works so hard to make sure that despite the fact that he didn’t have the family he deserved, he could provide a healthy family for his kids. So reason #1 why I love him is because he has such a great heart, great intentions, and he’s just trying to do the best he can, despite never having a healthy model for how to be a father and how to raise a family.

And side note, I think when we see Raf go into his dark place of drinking and stuff, I think it’s reasonable for people to be critical- but I also think that it makes a lot of sense. He’s got a LOT on his plate, constant pressure that he places on himself to be a good dad, past trauma that he likely hasn’t fully dealt with, and non-consistent support from Jane depending on the part of the show you’re at.

Secondly, one reason I don’t support Jane and Michael is that he perpetually sacrifices his own wants and passions in order to please Jane. I think a lot of people view this as sweet and romantic, but in a healthy relationship, both partners are able to thrive as individuals by going after what they love. The fact that Michael is repeatedly okay with giving up his job for Jane shows that he has to give up a part of himself to be with Jane, and that’s not fair to him.

And Michael just has this chivalrous yet entitled vibe to him that I don’t really like. Like when he was pissed that Jane went on a date after she met him, and that she wasn’t home when he brought her soup. So then he whole ass abused his authority as a police officer by pulling her date over.

Like that whole situation, which was one of the foundational parts of their relationship, was just obnoxious because he acted like he was being selfless by bringing her soup, and a lot of people viewed it as sweet. But in actuality, he wasn’t there out of simple kindness, because if he was he’d drop off the soup and leave. He’s doing all this to win Jane over. He thinks that she must pick him just because he likes her, despite the fact that she also gets to decide for herself what she wants.

But the whole thing of Michael sacrificing his own wants for Jane isn’t the case wth Raf because he, from the start, is Jane’s biggest supporter when it comes to writing. And Raf is pretty honest about his commitment to the hotel, which is what caused problems with their relationship in the beginning- but at least he was true to his own desires.

Then his wants and passions shifted to his kids/ family, and then he worked towards that. And what we see right now, which I’m proud of him for, is him saying that it isn’t fair for him to be dragged along and hurt in the process of Jane trying to figure things out for herself. I respect that she needed to do that, but I applaud Raf for looking out for himself.

I think with the recent episodes what we get to see, is Jane working hard to be the partner Raf deserves- which is great because throughout this ENTIRE show, Raf had tried so so hard to get Jane to choose him. Now Raf must choose Jane, which is an interesting and important shift. Although this is a tough situation, Raf doesn’t feel as powerless and out of control as he’s felt at other points.

Wow, nonnie, let me first and foremost thank you for this incredibly well-thought out thread. I love it so much. And I agree with all of what you said, with the exception of a couple of places, and will simply add on to your points for the most part. 

I resonate so much with everything that you said about Rafael. He’s been through so much since the start of the show and it’s like a nonstop shitstorm for him. From his wife cheating on him with his best friend and all the way to the recent development. Not to mention the issue of his cancer earlier on before the show started. It’s been a rough life for Raf. And the problem is that the writers never actually allowed him a break? He doesn’t get to process? Not on-screen anyways and not off-screen either. Rafael’s mental health issue has been reduced to the issue of him sinking into “his dark place” instead of an actual, legitimate issue of depression and potential substance abuse. And that’s what I’ve always begrudged the writers for. Even this season, when they decided to somewhat give him this SL, we still didn’t get to experience it. And I honestly have no idea whether we’re going to be seeing anymore of it or if we were supposed to take that one episode where he was taking anti-depressants as them “dealing” with the issue of his mental health. And honestly, if that’s all we’re getting, then …. *biggest and longest of sighs*. 

What you said about him wanting a family is really important, too. I see a lot of people ridiculing Rafael for being insecure about Michael. And I’m like, but that makes total sense that he would feel this way? He has serious, deep-rooted abandonment issues that stem from his earlier family life. His father (adoptive father) treated him as lesser and never quite trusted him or had faith in him. His mother abandoned him for money. And when she returned, she only did so to take advantage of him and take something for her criminal master plan. And then he found out that neither of them were his biological parents and the question becomes: who abandoned him in the first place so he would end up with them. So, yes, Raf has Jane and Petra and Mateo and the twins and the Villanuevas, to an extent, but that doesn’t magically make it so that his abandonment issue are dealt with and he’s all good and dandy. That’s not how it works with deep-seated childhood issues. It might not be ideal of him to react so strongly to Michael’s presence, but his fear of losing the love of his life to Michael, AGAIN, makes total sense to me. I hope he’d reacted differently, but I also get it. This is hard and painful for him and is in line with his character. 

And I agree with you that him choosing to remove himself from that situation is also good and healthy for him. I keep seeing people calling him selfish for choosing himself, for closing himself emotionally from a person who hurt him so much. It is besides the point that Jane never intended to hurt him, and that’s important to note, but it’s entirely besides the point. The results of our actions are not always what we intend. Doesn’t mean that they didn’t happen anyways. Such is life. So Rafael deciding that he will not sit around waiting for Jane to make a decision between him and Michael again when it became clear to him that he was not always unflinchingly her choice the way that she has been for him, Rafael deciding that he needs to protect his heart and closing off this part of himself emotionally, deciding that he and Jane are good as coparents but he doesn’t want the romance anymore, is actually a good thing for him, it’s good growth and character development. Because now he’s no longer looking for validation from his relationship with Jane to believe in his self worth. He’s saying, no, this is painful and I don’t want to be in this situation and I need to take care of myself. And him not jumping back into a relationship with Jane the moment she decided that this is what she wants now, him knowing his boundaries and being in tune with his needs and not caving is a good thing for him. This is not something that Rafael would have done a few seasons ago and I’m proud of him for that. 

I think for me the main problem with Michael has always been how one-note he feels. His only true defining characteristic is that he loves Jane and that’s that. Everything else about him takes second place to this love that he has for Jane. Which is all good and nice but if I can’t bring myself to care about one half of the ship because they don’t feel real to me, then I can’t bring myself to fully ship them. I still appreciate their scenes and all, but honestly I look at Michael and I’m like, who are you and what do you want out of life other than Jane? Like he went through all this trauma and losing his memories and all he wants now and all he feels is that he loves Jane?????? He doesn’t feel pain???? No resentment that she moved on and is happy????? My brother kept pointing out that there is no way in hell he wouldn’t feel at least a little bit of resentment that Jane is happy and moved on with Rafael of all people. And he’s right. But all Michael can say is I want you to be happy, so much so that it’s frustrating. Human emotions are complex until Michael is concerned and it frustrates me how he is just a cardboard cut of a Perfect Man. 

And of course Rafael would look bad in comparison, since he seems to display a wider range of emotions and generally act like a normal human person, but I digress. 

I do think the recent shift in dynamic is going to bring a refreshing take on Jane and Rafael’s relationship like it did last episode. I thought seeing Jane as an utter disaster was really interesting and entertaining since we’ve never seen her in this light before. It’s really fun for me to watch this dynamic and I really look forward to seeing where it’ll take us. 

Again, thanks so much for such a thoughtful thread, friend. you’re awesome!
