"Yeah! Love! Is! Stupid!"

Lil edit I did^_^

[herefortheships]

I'm still in season 6A of Teen Wolf but man I HATE that this show made me ship Parrish x Lydia to then DROP the entire arc all of a sudden?! WHY?!! He's barely formed part of this season and he's currently my favorite character right next to Stiles. They spent all that time on Parrish in season 5B and all of a sudden is like he's not even a meaningful part of the show anymore? That's something I absolutely HATE about this show, how they just drop character arcs when a season ends, like it's last season's plot so now it doesn't matter in the new season... They totally did that with Void Stiles as well. He was totally fine next season, in season 4. Like he didn't just get through a possibly life-altering, dramatic, traumatizing experience... Wtf.

And all that lovely build-up between Jordan Parrish and Lydia, like even if it remained a friendship hard-sell tbh because their interactions were HOT ok and there's just a small age gap there like it's not even weird tbh that there's an age gap why do they suddenly have no scenes together?? What happened??! Did people bitch back then because they preferred Stydia or something? Or because of the insignificant age gap?? LOL. Listen, I like both ships, but this show REALLY made me ship Lydia with Jordan Parrish WAY MORE than Stydia and now I'm heartbroken because they have barely interacted and Lydia randomly now loves Stiles outta nowhere (no, him saving her that time doesn't count when you have 5 seasons of pretty much zero build-up to get to that point... Plus I'm pretty sure it was Parrish who carried her in his arms. That was romantic, ok? 😭).

I just don't understand why they had to put so much effort into making things so intense and romantic and even sexual between Lydia and Parrish if they were going to literally pretend like it didn't happen in the next season and do nothing with it. I'm salty af.

They have just made a poor effort to make Stiles x Lydia believable. I've always known they're endgame because Idk they were the season 1 ship, like, if Alison was still alive by the end of the series, she'd totally end up with Scott as well, is what I mean. Because those are the main relationships the show wanted to sell from the start regardless of whether they ended up having chemistry or not by the end. I get that. BUT!! By this season, when nothing that romantically powerful has happened between Stiles and Lydia, while you've SHOWN me something more meaningful and powerful and hot between her and another character, it's just not believable anymore for her to just suddenly be into Stiles romantically just because of one scene! I mean, from Stiles's side it's well-done, I'd say, since he had loved her since season 1 (and I never liked him with Malia, tbh, that came out of complete nowhere), but I've just never felt Lydia to be into him. She's felt like a friend all along... And then they spend ALL that time in season 5 building up Lydia and Jordan Parrish's relationship like that, and they have all that hot af chemistry, and for WHAT??! 🙃💔

My heart is broken and I haven't even finished watching the show. lol

Oh well.

I guess I'll follow blogs who prefer this ship because let me tell you, this is my favorite ship from this entire show, hands down. The chemistry is off the freaking charts. And the story between them? How they compliment each other? Both of them are harbingers of death. Hello?! Like I said: the chemistry is off the charts.

(I’ll Save You A Shooting Star)

((Finally writing about my wife Panam))

Panam Palmer

Nice night

V rolled over, laying on their back as they stared at the message. His hand went to the ring around his neck, beginning to play with it. What he wouldn’t give to be out there right now.

Venus Ambrose

Oh yeah? Who’s out tonight?

Venus wasn’t sleeping tonight, it was too noisy outside and yet too quiet in here. He had only been in Night City for a month and he hated it. It didn’t help when Link was blowing up his phone checking in, and Jonas and Mitch calling him. It hurt even more that Panam had barely texted him at all.

Panam Palmer

Orion says hello

Venus Ambrose

Give him a kiss for me?

Panam Palmer

*image sent*

Venus missed the stars. The city’s light pollution made it impossible to see anything. He missed the days he, Jett, and Panam would sit on their vehicles and try to spot constellations, drinking and teasing. Venus always say between them but Jett made sure that was never an issue, his arm was long enough for the both of them.

Venus always believed they could have been something more, they were something more. Panam was his rock after Jett’s death, probably the reason he survived their attack on Arasaka. He never planned on making it out when he shook Vax Kane’s hand, agreeing to a death mission. But the thought of seeing her again made it all the more worth it.

Venus Ambrose

Stars are cool and all, but I’d rather see the real beauty

Panam Palmer

Mitch is sleeping, sorry

Venus laughed to themselves, rubbing his eyes. Why was he doing this to himself? There was no reason he couldn’t have stayed… and yet he couldn’t take it. He couldn’t be without Jett there. Jett was his other half, Venus’s soul died that day.

Venus Ambrose

Well shit.

Guess I’ll have to see the other beauty in my life

Panam Palmer

Jonas is sleeping too

Venus Ambrose

WELL FUCK ME THEN

Panam Palmer

*image sent*

Venus Ambrose

There she is <3

Panam Palmer

Flirt.

Venus saved the image, staring at it a bit longer than necessary. Panam reminded him of home. Of safety. She kept him safe after Jett died, watched his breakdown and kept him from doing something he’d regret. Held his hand as he got Jett’s name tattooed onto his wrist… she became their everything.

And Venus left her.

For the longest time, he believed she was angry with him for wanting to leave. But he knew now she understood, and she knew Allen wasn’t making things easy for them either. Making snide remarks and shaming them, Panam laid his ass out and it stopped the comments for a week or so, then started up again.

In her defense though, Venus never told anyone when they were leaving. Simply that he had thought about it. Then one night, he had enough and left. He had already rented an apartment, took a few jobs from some fixers that really needed it.

Venus Ambrose

You should sleep

Panam Palmer

So should you

I’m looking at stars

Venus Ambrose

Save me one?

Panam Palmer

Always.

[apurpledust]

Thinking a lot about them recently and can't help but notice how this couplet from one of my favourite Chinese poems called "Jin Se" can sum up their relationship : 「此情可待成追憶？ 只是當時已惘然。」 This feeling might have become something to be remembered later on; Merely, at that time I were already perplexed and lost.

This saying could roughly be interpreted as the two people's relationship should have bought back wonderful memories, but one didn’t cherish it enough when they were together, and now it just brings sorrowness.

😭 Actually, this could also be apply towards Napoleon with Lannes / Duroc aka his harem too. He is just so shippable.

101 PLOT BUNNIES / Slow Ride, a Bradley Bradshaw Fanfiction

CASSIE “BIRDIE” BLACKWOOD WASN’T SURE OF MANY THINGS IN HER LIFE, but one thing was for certain: she was exactly where she belonged. Back at North Island after a three-year stint in Africa, Cassie was more than ecstatic to return to her old stomping grounds. After all, she hardly remembers the last time she stayed at North Island for more than a couple months at a time, usually rotating between her mother’s house in D.C. and the international missions she’s been deployed on.

While not a huge believer in fate, Cassie believed that the universe was pulling in her favor — well, somewhat. A preview of the special assignment’s roster would have been nice, but then again, Cassie performs her best under pressure. And attempting to keep a pretty hefty secret under wraps from her fellow aviators — a certain someone in particular — all the while being taught by the provocateur of it all?

Yeah…let’s see how little Birdie fights her way out of this one.

Rolling In The Deep (fanfic)

Title: Rolling In The Deep

Summary: Commander Caleb Shepard returns from Despoina with his biggest ally in the war against the reapers to date, yet Kaidan Alenko wonders if the price of that partnership may be too high.

Relationships: male Shepard/Kaidan Alenko

Characters: male Shepard, Kaidan Alenko, Steve Cortez, Javik

Tags: ME3: Leviathan DLC, post-Leviathan, PTSD, angst, new relationship, established relationship, canon-typical violence

[tags will be updated as later chapters post]

Chapter 1 Excerpt:

“Cortez, any word from the commander?”

Kaidan can barely hear his shout above the din of battle as he peers over the top edge of cover just long enough to take a couple of shots at the latest incoming wave of husks and cannibals.  The pouring down rain isn’t helping either, leaving a faint haze drifting across the battlefield that blurs his line of sight.  The grunts and screeches that fill the air are the only assurance he’s hit his targets.  To his left, Javik is engaged with a nearby brute.  If it gets past the prothean, he’ll be the only one left to stop it from getting to Cortez and their shuttle, and Kaidan has his own hands full.  Before he can decide whether to stay where he is or assist his squadmate, the beast goes down, shaking the deck.

Cortez’ voice rings across comms.  “Nothing yet, major!”

Shepard’s been gone for thirty minutes or more; Kaidan doesn’t guess how long it’s been, he knows.  Each thump of his heart tight in his chest as he fights off more and more reaper creatures while constantly swallowing back the acidic burn of panic in his belly. 

What if he doesn’t make it?  What if he drowns?  What if…?

Kaidan grunts harshly, swallowing again.  He can’t die yet, not until he gives Shepard a piece of his mind over this lateststunt. 

A crashing thud about a hundred feet away signals the arrival of yet another round of reaper troops, complete with at least one bellowing roar to indicate another brute to deal with.  Forcing his thoughts away from Shepard – there’s nothing he can do about it until he’s back, anyway – Kaidan slams another heatsink into his Revenant and takes aim. 

Two more husks stumble into the growing pile less than five feet ahead of him.

Yeah, Shepard’s gonna owe them big time after this mission.

Read Current Chapter || Read From Beginning || Read Series

I've finally decided to start posting Caleb's story as the ideas come to me instead of waiting to post them chronologically!

This piece takes place at the end/just after Leviathan DLC which occurs right after Rannoch. He and Kaidan have been romantically involved for a few weeks at this point.

HUGE thanks to @elleweird for the quick beta on this chapter! <3

heya lovely, happy new year! I'd like to please request #17 slippery off the prompt list with Mr and Mrs B! I'm in the mood for filth lolll but I'd honestly read whatever you want to write ❣️💞

Happy New Year, darling! I admittedly did not go in the filthy direction, but there’s a little innuendo in there if you squint 😂

Bradley had warned you to be careful. Multiple times.

It had been snowing on and off since you’d arrived in Virginia to housesit for his aunt while she was on a cruise with friends—an opportunity for a little romantic getaway, the two of you had decided—and the ground outside kept freezing as the temperatures plummeted each night. Bradley had been salting the front walkway like a madman every few hours, but he kept reminding you to be cautious any time you had to leave the house.

“It’s slippery out there, honey. Watch your step.”

And you had been watching your step. Well, mostly. Except for this morning apparently. You blamed it on your sleep-addled brain. It had been early and you were planning on taking a quick trip to the deli to pick up coffee and bagels. Instead, you had ended up on your butt right next to the car, having slipped on a patch of black ice.

Alerted by your surprised yelp of pain, Bradley had come flying out the front door like a bat out of hell, clad in nothing more than his pajama pants and the pair of boots he’d haphazardly pulled on.

After carrying you back inside and spending the better part of an hour fretting over you, terrified you’d fractured a bone or hit your head despite your numerous protestations, your husband’s worry eventually gave way to amusement. Once he was satisfied that you were truly unharmed, at least for the most part, he couldn’t help but tease you a little bit.

“I told you it was slippery out there, honey,” he murmured, a smile tugging at his lips as he carried you to the bedroom and laid you down on your stomach so that he could gently massage your behind, which was currently throbbing and probably already had a nice bruise developing. “Were you trying to go ice skating without me?”

“Ha, ha, ha,” you muttered sarcastically, wincing a little bit as Bradley’s hand moved across a particularly tender spot.

Bradley caught your expression and stopped teasing. “I’m sorry, baby. Does it hurt bad? Let me go get some ice,” he told you, starting to rise.

“Ugh, no, no more ice!” you argued, shaking your head and burying your face in your pillow in embarrassment.

“What can I do to make it better?” he asked softly, brushing your hair away from your face and pressing a kiss to your temple.

You lifted your head and thought a moment, then grinned mischievously. “Can you kiss it and make it better?”

Bradley smirked in return, his hand slipping under the waistband of your yoga pants. “Whatever helps, honey.”

jake dillinger :]

Favorite thing about them:

The implication of how he’s so damn lonely(love the angst potentials)

Least favorite thing about them:

I don’t really know but it’d probably be how fucking hard he is to draw(for me at least, drawing new characters is HARD)

Favorite line:

Literally his entire part in the play. Especially the upgrade part. Love that

BrOTP:

Jeremy and Jake(chef’s kiss) They are bros and no one is changing my mind

OTP:

Richjake for sure!

nOTP

I don’t really have any notps involving jake so we’re good(I’m not that picky when it comes to ships. Unless it’s problematic)

Random headcanon

HE HAS GIFTED KID BURNOUT FIGHT ME ON THIS/j

Unpopular opinion

Idk if it’s unpopular but he doesn’t cry a lot, even if he is very sad. At one point he probably just started feeling numb and empty. He just refuses to cry. Suppresses all his emotions and thinks he’ll be fine that way but spoiler alert he is not fine

Song I associate with them

Just because of the “feel like I’m the worse so I always act like I’m the best” line(I think Joe Tracez mentioned something similar? Read this on the fandom wiki or something)

Favorite picture of them

He silly

(Taken from the be more chill fandom wiki if anyone cares)

Ch 48: A Story I Won't See Coming

Sean makes his move

And Sean is bad, even for a bad guy! He won't take orders from Rip, and he's trying to move up the ranks at Under by killing the harmless and endangered Fuuko.

It seems like Under, (a collection of Negators with different goals that blossomed from a mutiny, lacks a clear endgame, is picking up clues piecemeal by following the good guys around, and doesn't seem to have any overarching philosophy other than anger and resentment) is having trouble with group cohesion and loyalties. Chaos is guaranteed!

The story cuts back to Akira Kuno, who is now a serialized author, and his decision to go look for Andy in Japan. And he finds him!

Andy is studying iaido in the mountains with a woman named Yusai. We learn that she's the one who taught him the Moonlight style!

Learning how to do quick-draw styles is how Andy is keeping Josh alive in his heart. So sweet!

Aaaaaaaaaand he's found another woman who wants him all to herself lol. He sure has a lot of...ardent female supporters.

DO NOT THREATEN AKIRA'S OTP! RED ALERT!

Yusai is an awesome samurai woman with tears in her eyes begging Andy to make dojo heirs with her, but it's unclear how Andy feels about her. At this time, he hadn't met Fuuko and didn't have the second set of "what-if" memories, either.

I wonder how much time they spent together! Was it just the two of them? And how did he find her? He agrees to marry her on one condition:

Yusai is like another possible ship for Andy. It's kind of hilarious how many shipping opportunities there are for him when the main story depends on him and Fuuko being a pair. I don't really get into shipping much myself but I think it's fun to imagine different pairings.

I also wonder if this is God/the Author's way of throwing a wrench into the story in an attempt to keep Andy and Fuuko from falling in love, because that's the only way to defeat God. Like, "what if I just throw a whole bunch of potential love interests at Andy and see if he goes for one of them instead of Fuuko?"

It's interesting that Yusai is in the panel where it says Negators have hard lives. Is she a Negator? We don't see much regarding her abilities.

There's another clue that she's a Negator in Chapter 29, where someone who looks a lot like her working with Under.

What happened to Yusai? And is she fighting with a fan instead of a sword? (Also I love the way Rip, Andy, and Fuuko are almost on a theater stage in front of a backdrop in that panel.)

As Akira watches Andy walk away, he thinks about the tragic fate of all Negators and how they're unfairly destined to suffer. We see the tragedies that befell four different Negators: Billy, Shen, Top, and Nico.

Billy is sitting at a grave in the rain, surrounded by bottles. Shen is reaching for someone who's fallen off a cliff, and someone else is standing behind him. Top is crying at the feet of someone in a wheelchair, and Nico looks like he just woke up from a nightmare.

All of the Negators in UU have traumatic power awakenings that set their lives on new courses. Is it the same event in every Loop? I'm curious to find out what Victor's and Juiz's tragedies were.

Speaking of which, Akira thinks about the future he knows in which the Union is defeated, and we see Victor crying next to a dead or severely hurt Juiz, all while the sun bears down to begin the world's destruction.

Akira knows they're going to lose?!

But Akira found a loophole! If he can use his pen-name to publish the story, he can leave clues for the Negators to help them grow in a way that changes the future. It's like he didn't want to spoil the ending!

He knows the characters have to evolve naturally, and simply telling the story as he knows it won't spur any growth from them. It's a lot like how an author has to put characters through challenges in order to develop them believably.

He focuses on the battle with UMA Autumn as the pivotal time to intervene. We see him visiting the Union library to do research and going into a swamp to find the Soul Caliber Artifact.

I love how we have two characters with such similar powers in this arc: Sean's invisibility and Akira's imperceptibility.

Back in the present, Sean takes his chance to kill Fuuko. At the same time, Anno Un calls out to Andy to use Dead-Line.

Insane! So if Anno Un hadn't rescued them from Autumn, Sean would've killed Fuuko! And if Andy hadn't learned Dead-Line from Victor, he wouldn't have been able to save her!

Sean was cut in half and we can finally see him a little. He has a third eye under his baseball cap! And a butterfly knife, like all cool juvenile delinquents. Rip is stunned!

It looks like Fuuko has finally awakened, too! Anno Un says that they don't know what will happen now that the story has been changed. What will become of Anno Un if they can no longer draw?

The Union still has to capture UMA Autumn and deal with Rip and the bunny suit person. It sure would be nice to have Anno Un to tell them how to do it!
