#otp: gotcha

[doyelikehaggis]

Do you think Christian and Syed had more kids or just Yasmin?

Oh god, it would be so sweet if they did decide to have more kids. Truthfully, I think they might have decided to focus on raising Yasmin, but at the same time, I can see Syed insisting that his life was so much better because of his siblings, and Christian would feel the same about Jane, so maybe that would prompt them into looking into adopting another child!

— cat’s out of the bag ; spencer reid

pairing ; spencer reid x fem!reader

synopsis ; you thought you and spencer were good at keeping your relationship a secret. spoiler alert: you weren’t.

themes ; fluff, established (secret) relationship

warnings ; none!

author’s note ; first time writing for spencer after having watched criminal minds. i’m in love with him so it was only fitting that my mind starts coming up with ideas for him — send in requests for spencer!!!!

main masterlist request a fic

You and Spencer had agreed on one thing when your relationship first started:

“Let’s keep it just between us for a while.”

Not because you were ashamed — far from it — but, because the BAU wasn’t exactly known for being a quiet, private place. The second Garcia caught wind of anything remotely romantic, you’d both be wearing couple t-shirts and getting shipped like characters from a CW drama.

And, it was nice for a while.

You lasted four months.

It started with a coffee cup.

Specifically, the one with Spencer’s name on it, sitting at your desk.

Morgan strolled in that morning with his usual swagger and an armful of case files. He was halfway through a yawn when he spotted the cup and froze mid-step.

“Hey, Pretty Girl?” he called over his shoulder. “Why’s Reid’s name on your latte?”

You didn’t even look up from your desk. “Oh. He picked it up for me.”

“Uh-huh.” He narrowed his eyes like a detective in an old noir film. “And when did Reid start remembering your custom order down to the almond milk and two pumps of caramel?”

You finally looked up. “I… mention it a lot?”

Morgan snorted. “Okay.”

The next day, he walked into the breakroom to find Spencer standing very close behind you, reaching for the same muffin. There was laughter — soft, easy — and then Spencer let you have it with the kind of look that didn’t belong in any HR-safe workplace.

Morgan didn’t say a word. Just walked out with his coffee, grinning.

“Gotcha, Boy Genius.”

Penelope Garcia’s superpower wasn’t her hacking skills — (though, yes, she could probably access the Pentagon with a shoelace and a floppy disk) — it was her intuition. Especially when it came to anything involving hearts, unspoken feelings, or long looks across briefing tables.

So when she noticed Reid texting someone with a tiny, goofy smile on his face during lunch, her curiosity sparked.

She sidled up next to him.

“Who ya texting, Dr. Reid?” she sing-songed, peeking at his screen before he could lock it.

He jumped. “N-no one. Just… a friend.”

Garcia narrowed her eyes. “Since when do you call Y/N ‘sunbeam’?”

Reid’s face turned the color of a fire hydrant. “It’s — it’s just a nickname. She — uh — likes the sun.”

“Mmhmm.” Garcia leaned in. “Reid… are you dating my girl?”

His silence was answer enough.

She let out a tiny shriek, clapping her hands. “I knew it! I knew it! My OTP is real!”

He groaned and buried his face in his hands.

To her credit, Garcia didn’t spill — not yet.

But the sparkle in her eye was pure chaos.

Prentiss wasn’t nosy — she was observant.

So when you came into work with what looked like Spencer’s scarf around your neck and a sleepy smile that screamed I didn’t sleep in my own bed, she raised an eyebrow.

But she didn’t say anything until a week later.

The team had just wrapped a case in Portland and were gathered at the airport. You and Spencer were seated across from each other at the gate, trying — and failing — not to play footsie under the chairs.

Prentiss watched the whole thing, sipping her coffee like it was a reality show.

Later, on the plane, she slid into the seat next to you.

“So, when were you planning on telling me?”

You blinked. “Telling you what?”

She tilted her head toward Spencer, who was sitting two rows ahead, hunched over a book — but not before sending a not-so-subtle glance back your way.

Prentiss smirked. “I was a teenager once too, you know. I recognize the ‘pretending not to stare at my crush’ look.”

You flushed. “It’s not like we’re hiding it — ”

“But you are,” she said, patting your arm. “Don’t worry. I’ll let you come out in your own time. Just… maybe don’t play footsie where Rossi can see. He’s got surprisingly good peripheral vision.”

You genuinely thought Rossi wouldn’t notice.

He was older, more focused — a man who’d seen it all. Surely, he wouldn’t pick up on subtle glances or the way Spencer’s hand lingered on your back a little too long after briefings.

You were wrong.

He invited you both over to his house for dinner, claiming he was “trying a new risotto recipe and needed test subjects.”

The moment he caught you stealing a bite from Spencer’s plate with zero hesitation, he set down his wine glass and gave a slow, smug smile.

“Interesting.”

You froze mid-chew. “What is?”

“Oh, nothing. Just watching young love blossom over truffle risotto.”

Spencer choked on his wine.

You coughed. “What makes you think —?”

“Please,” Rossi waved a hand. “I’ve written three books on behavioral profiling. You think I can’t tell when two people are secretly dating?”

You opened your mouth.

He held up a finger. “Don’t worry. My lips are sealed. Just know I expect to be invited to the wedding.”

You both gaped.

He raised his wine glass. “Eventually, of course.”

Hotch was the final boss.

You and Spencer had been very careful around him — no lingering looks in the field, no brushing hands in the briefing room, no coordinated lunches. You were practically platonic professionals around him.

Until he caught you.

It happened at 9 p.m. on a Friday. Most of the team had already left, and you and Spencer were still in the conference room, finishing paperwork.

You thought you were alone.

So, when Spencer reached over and laced his fingers through yours, pressing a kiss to the back of your hand, you let your guard down for just a moment.

And Hotch walked in.

He stopped mid-step.

You both froze like teenagers caught making out on a porch.

Hotch blinked once. “Should I… come back?”

You yanked your hands apart. “No! We were just — ”

“Finishing paperwork,” Spencer blurted. “Very platonically.”

Hotch raised a brow. “You were kissing her hand.”

Spencer blinked. “Right. Well… not that platonically.”

There was a long pause.

Hotch sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Just — no PDA at crime scenes, okay?”

You both nodded, mortified.

As he left, you could swear you saw him smirk.

You didn’t plan to tell everyone. At least, not in one grand announcement.

But the BAU had other plans.

It happened during a rare, sunny weekend BBQ hosted at Rossi’s estate. Everyone was scattered across the lawn — beer bottles in hand, kids running around, music playing.

You were helping Garcia string lights along the fence when she casually said, “So, when are you and Reid going to make it official-official?”

You nearly dropped the string of lights. “What?”

She pointed. “Oh, don’t play coy, sweet pea. Everyone knows.”

You blinked. “Everyone?”

Morgan, walking by with a burger, grinned. “Oh yeah. We’ve had bets running for weeks.”

Prentiss added, “Morgan owes me twenty bucks. I said you’d crack before Valentine’s Day.”

Rossi raised his glass. “Cheers to the happy couple.”

Even Hotch gave you a nod that could only be described as… warm.

You turned to Spencer, who looked equally horrified and relieved.

“They all know?” he whispered.

You nodded. “Apparently for a while.”

Garcia beamed. “What gave it away? Everything.”

You and Spencer exchanged a look.

Then you both laughed — loud, breathless, incredulous.

So much for secrets.

Later, as the party mellowed into dusk and someone lit a bonfire, Spencer pulled you close beneath the string lights.

“Do you think it’s weird… that I’m kind of relieved?”

You looked up at him. “Relieved they found out?”

He nodded. “Yeah. It’s like… I don’t have to keep something good hidden anymore.”

You smiled, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “You’re not something I want to hide, Spencer.”

He looked at you then, all soft eyes and quiet awe.

Even in a team of profilers, even under the most watchful eyes — you and Spencer had managed something rare.

A love worth noticing.

Early Morning Breakfast

Photos are not mine. They are courtesy of Pinterest/Google.

Pairing: Dean Winchester x F! Hunter Reader

Warnings: Very fluffy, tiny bit smexy but mostly PG-13, maybe a swear word or two.

Word Count: 1.4K-ish

Summary: Dean doesn’t sleep much so he wakes you up at 4 am for…cereal(gotcha🤣)

A/N: This is the same pairing as Between a Rock and a Hard Place and Truce. I found this prompt from a blog called @otp-fanfic-ideas . And when she asks why he woke her up for that, his response is “I just wanted a reason to be with you, is all.” I changed it juuuuuust a hair to fit the story a little better. I think it came out cute so I hope you like it!

As always, thank you for reading!  I appreciate it so much and comments, reblogs are welcome and encouraged. Don’t be shy to tell me your favorite part. 💕💕 💕

Four hours.

That’s all the sleep Dean said he needed. After that, he ran on caffeine and various forms of meat with sweet slices of pie sprinkled in between.

Most mornings you couldn’t get near him before he had his coffee. With his lips pressed firmly together in a straight line, he’d slowly shake his head if you or Sam tried to approach him or even say “good morning.” He’s lucky he’s handsome. It was the only way he could get away with ignoring your piercing narrow stare as he took that first sip.

This morning was different though. The two of you had gone to bed earlier than usual, around midnight, and since he only needed four hours of sleep, he was awake at the ungodly hour of 4 AM.

You were sleeping hard when you thought you felt him shift. Spooned up behind you, Dean’s strong hand traveled up your bare thigh and underneath your night shirt which was just one of his old t-shirts.

Firmly pressing his fingers into your hip, Dean pulled your body flush with his, the soft fabric of his pajama pants touched the back of your legs as he gently pressed his lips to the side of your neck causing goosebumps to pepper across your skin.

As your lips slowly curled into a wide smile, your eyes fluttered open as you glanced at the bedside clock which read 04:05. Again, he’s so lucky he’s handsome.

Rolling onto your back, you reached for him and let your fingers glide through his light brown hair as his lips searched for yours in the gathering darkness.

Whispering against his mouth, you said, “Mmmm…Dean. What are you doing, baby? It’s 4 in the morning.”

Dean’s hands were roaming, mapping your body when his lips found yours, parting them with his tongue as he slipped it in between your teeth to entwine with yours. He nestled in between your legs, his hard cock pressed against your core as he continued to kiss you…hard. Each one waking you from your deep slumber more and more.

Dean replied, trying to be funny, “Mornin’ sweetheart, I just remembered there’s a new box of Cap’n Crunch in the kitchen…with Crunchberries. I want some.”

Even though the room was dark, you could tell he had a wide smile stretched across his lips.

Cereal. He woke you up because he wanted cereal?!

You were trying to not get mad but the reason you went to bed earlier than normal last night was because you were exhausted from being away from the bunker for a handful of days on a hunt and you didn’t sleep well away from home.

You were used to calling the bunker, “home” now so sleeping in a foreign bed was anything but comfortable. And Dean decided to wake you up at 4 in the morning to tell you that he wanted a bowl of cereal?!

You could strangle him.

“Soooooo why are you telling me this? If you want cereal, Dean, just get up and get some. You didn’t need to wake me up for that, I’m tired, baby. You know I don’t sleep well when we’re away.” You said in a grouchy tone as you adjusted your pillow underneath your head.

Maybe you were a little harsh. Unlike Dean, you needed more than four hours of sleep and after not sleeping for five days, you were ready to finally get a decent night’s sleep. But now after only four hours, you were wide awake and slightly agitated.

You felt bad for snapping at him and maybe you would have been less angry with him if he had continued to kiss you or if he woke you up to do other things, not to tell you that he wanted breakfast.

Stiff with disappointment, Dean replied, “I just…wanted another reason to be with you, is all. Sam is definitely still sleeping so it would have been just you and me having an early breakfast together. We haven’t been alone in days, you passed out hard last night…I—Ya know what, go back to sleep, sweetheart. I shouldn’t have—I’m sorry I woke you up.”

Well that stung and you’ve never felt like more of an asshole than you did right at that moment. Dean just wanted to be alone with you and enjoy a very early morning bowl of cereal.

It was really kind of sweet.

He was hurt. You could hear it in his voice and as much as the man made you crazy, you didn’t mean to snap at him like that.

He turned onto his side, facing away from you, and every muscle in his body was tense. You didn’t even need to touch him to know that. The tension radiated off of his body and a knot formed in your chest as you tried to figure out the right words to say.

An apology would probably be the best place to start.

“Dean? Baby, I’m sorry.” You said, gently touching his shoulder. “I’m sorry I snapped at you. I know I’m a little cranky when I haven’t slept.”

“A little?” Snapped Dean.

“I am trying to apologize, baby. You should just let it happen.” You said firmly.

Dean rolled over to his other side so he could face you.

He replied, “Ok, you may continue.”

Draping his arm over your hip, he pulled you closer and with a breath of room between you, Dean gently tapped his nose to yours. A sly smug grin stretched across his lips as your eyes were now adjusted to the darkness of the room.

“You don’t have to be so smug about it, ya know.” You said.

With a slight growl, he replied, “Hey, this doesn’t happen often so I wanna get the whole experience.”

Raking your nails against his scalp, you softly said, “I’m sorry, baby. I’d love to have some cereal with you.” You inched your face closer to his and pressed your lips to his before saying, “Ya know I actually thought you were waking me up for something else. You said yourself that we haven’t really been alone in days.”

Your eyelids were warm with his breath as you snaked your arms around his neck and pulled him on top of you. Dean kissed you again with more insistence. Parting your lips with his tongue, he firmly pressed his hips against yours, bearing down harder against your core with his hardening length while strangled moans and whimpers escaped your lips.

“So what you’re saying is you’d like to work up an appetite.” Said Dean.

You purred into his ear, “Yes, baby. That’s what I’m saying.”

Before removing your night shirt, Dean said lightheartedly, “Good, I was worried you were just trying to distract me because you ate all of my crunch berries or something, ya know like when you ate the last doughnut.”

“Really Dean? There were six doughnuts in that box and you ate FIVE of them. I only wanted ONE.” You replied.

He snapped back, “And I told you they only put them out once a year!”

“Will you give it a rest about the stupid doughnuts! I bought you a new box and you don’t have to worry, I left your cereal alone.” You said.

Dean always knows which buttons to push and just loves to watch your squirm.

“I know I can’t see your entire face right now, but you’re really cute when you’re angry.” Said Dean.

“Just shut up and kiss me, Winchester.” You said, biting back a smile.

Your eyes closed in relief as his mouth collided with yours, his kisses all tongue and teeth before he pulled away slightly to ask, “So we can have cereal after this?”

“DEAN!” You snapped.

“Kidding, I’m kidding!” He paused. “I love you, sweetheart.”

Life with Dean Winchester was anything but boring. At times it was intense, other times it was lighthearted and fun, he was constantly making you laugh even when you didn’t want to, and he kept you from taking yourself too seriously.

You softly replied, “I love you too, baby.”

And you did the same for him because he deserved to smile, to laugh, and to finally be happy. Dean deserved to enjoy a bowl of cereal in the quiet bunker while the rest of the world was asleep and more than anything, you loved that he wanted to share that with you.

Far Away by @floof-writes

"Legend wanted to throw up.

No one wanted to throw up, but his stomach had been rolling since they’d been dumped on this goddess forsaken ship in Wind’s era, and at this point he just hoped it might make him feel better."

One time Wild saved Legend, and one time Legend returned the favor.

Zelda gets kidnapped by Yiga. Legend and Wild go to rescue her.

Featuring bombs, lead pipes, and an unexpected cameo, sort of.

memories by MurmursOfImagination (Rae_Butter)

Summary:

“You’re hurt. Have an apple.” Wild’s voice cut through the clamor in his head. A red object flashed in his peripheral and he just caught it before it hit him in the face.

Legend glared and dropped the apple in his bag. “You’re dying. What are you doing just sitting here eating an apple?”

“I know what dying feels like. This isn’t it,” Wild remarked, casually, as though everyone knew what dying felt like and, honestly, Legend was ridiculous for insisting that heavy bleeding from his stomach could ever kill anyone. Uncle Alfon’s headstone would beg to differ.

“You remember dying?” Legend asked, cocking a brow.

wild, the wisest of the links (LIES), and legend, the most open hearted person you've ever met (LIES), talk about their memories. it goes about as well as you'd imagine.

Summary:

He slams the jar down onto the glowing orb, gotcha.-

“WAIT!”

Legend freezes, that-

He immediately lowers himself in order to look into the hollowed out tree, and what greets him makes his eyebrows raise.

Hyrule’s fairy form was something he’s seen before- but Wild, Wild.

He had caught Wild in his jar.

Wild was a fairy.

What the fuck.

Glad you like the issue though :) Love seeing the dread building. Clap if you know the dread everyone!

[stanlunter]

i have an honest question for you. this is not meant to be a gotcha or accuse you of homophobia, just based on observing your post history of wlw vs wlm ships out of curiosity.

are there any wlw ships in cartoons that you actually do like the portrayal of?

Thanks for a question!

And yes, obviously. Actually, I posted a lot about them, so It's strange if you haven't seen it, but yeah. I understand where your answer is coming from since I do critic some wlw media and made a post about a wlw dynamic I don't like. Tbh, It's a problem for me too, bc I don't get enought of my "wlw ships type" in media and that's basically why Im complaining about it, bc every It's either bad-written or is so cliche that's it even boring. Also the problem is that I do love wlm ships as well and a lot of people say that "wlw is always better than wlm" even tho there are many good and bad examples of both of them and I think It's wrong to say smth is better just bc It's queer, even tho I am wlw myself. The "critic" wasn't towards wlw, but towards the most popular dynamic (sun x moon) that I don't like and the way people ignore others dynamics just for this one is sad to me, since bc of it I don't have enought representation of wlw ships I love, bc all of them either don't become a couple, or break up, or one of them dies (or all of these at the same time) and almost all ships that became canon have that dynamic I dislike. And at the same time it was also a joke bc It's actually true that like 80% of all wlw ships are basically the same, so It's funny to hear from their fans that all wlm ships are the same

"Are there any wlw ships in cartoons that you actually like the portray of?"

Do you mean canon or fanon?

As someone who generally in like 90% of the cases prefers fan ships over canon ones, regardless of if it's wlw, wlm or mlm, I obviously have much more fanon or half-canon favourite wlw ships, including those, where one of the characters is dead, there are some I like:

My favourite wlw ship and spop otp of all time is Scorptra. I absolutely adore everything about it and I really think they should have been stayed in Crimson waste. Some years ago I had a huge fixation on it and tbh, if I've discovered Tumbler to myself at that time, my acc would definitely be full of them and I would call myself "stanscorptra", lol. And the fact that they didn't become canon for the sake of the ship I hate - catradora, makes it even worse to me. (Scorpia x Catra from She-ra and the princess of power)

Yumihisu. That's my favourite ship from aot, Im actually glad It's popular in the fandom. I really love everything about them and the way they ended up is actually heart-breaking. In the finale of s2 I actually wanted to start killing people just bc Ymir decided to help Rainer and Berth instead od staying with Historia. And every time I rewatch it, I feel the same, bc they did have a chance to be happy together at least for some years.

It's basically canon and it was confirmed that they both love each other, but since Ymir died, I'm not sure if it is considered as actually canon since they werent actual dating (Ymir x Historia from Attack on titan)

Nanichiru, or whatever name they have, bc the fandom still hasnt decided it.

That was one of my first anime ships, I even thought It's canon and basically when I saw them together, I thought Nana is canon lesbian, which was so clear to me when I compare her with men and her with Michiru. Idk if they supposed to be "just friends", or wlw-coded, but I do consider them as a half canon anyways, bc, let's be real, if one of them was a guy, everyone would know It's canon. I absolutely love their dynamic and the way their relationship affected Nana and made her doubt her goal and actually understand that some of the people with talents are good people. Michiru changed everything for Nana and was her light in the dark, but ofc, how it always is, they didn't develop relationship and one of them died. (Nana x Michiru form Talentless Nana)

Mitsunoa. I am not obsessed with its depth, bc, ngl, they don't have such deep relationship as others, but I do love their dynamic and all of their interactions. Their homoerotic friendship and all the hints make me giggle and if we consider Mikayuu as "basically canon", than I will consider Mitsunoa as basically canon too (especially after the bath scene), bc these girls deserve the best things and they are the best things for each other. (Mitsuba and Shinoa from Seraph of the end)

Togachako. I still haven't finished the manga, so I'm not sure about what heppend with them in the end, I've only seen some spoilers. But I do love their enemies to lovers dynamic, which, unlike some other ships of this trope, isn't a romantization of abuse, but actual enemies to lovers. I doubt it has chances to actually become canon. But I still love the way their relationship was written. Uraraka is the only one who thinks Toga is cute and a pretty girl, not just a crazy monster. I absolutely love the line when she says Toga that she's the cutest girl in the whole world. I love that Toga says her feelings for Uraraka are real and that she made her happy. Toga sees her as basically a comfort person (??), someone who's love and appreciation she wants to get, someone who can save her from the hateness to herself and the world. I just want Toga to be happy with someone who can see her. Also, have you seen how mangaka draws them together?? He's either their biggest shipper, or a queerbaiter, Idk (Toga x Uraraka from My hero academy)

Also Ruby x Penny from Rwby, Webby x Lena from Duck Tales, Perfuma x Huntara from she-ra, Anne and Sasha from Amphibia, Sunset x Sci-Twi from Equestria girls, Sae-Byeok x Ji-Yeong form Squid game and others

As for canon ships, there are fewer ones, but yeah, I do have favourite wlw ships that are canon:

Menokari. Their relationship is really beautiful, It's actually similar to Nanichiru, but is gayer. I found it thanks to Talentless Nana as well, and Im glad I did. It may be seems too cliche for some people, but I think It's adorable, dramatic and well-writen. Definitely my favourite wlw anime (Menou x Akari from The Executor and her way of living)

Ellieriley. Unfortunately there are not enought scenes with them, but those we have is enought for me to love them. Riley was Ellie's first love and probably her lesbian awaking. I love their dynamic so much and I want to see more of them and I wanted them to live a happy life. I do like Ellie x Dina too, but I love her relationship with Riley much more. Riley's death has broken my heart. But at least I'm glad that they did have a kiss scene before it, that's why I do consider it as canon, unlike Yumihisu, since a lot of people for some reason are still arguing over it (Ellie x Riley from The last of us)

Spinetossa. Even tho this ship is far not the main one, I love it much more than the main canon ones. Netossa cares about her wife so much. They know each other for so long and still love each other so much. They're so cute and so sweet, that I was worrying for their relationship during s5 the most. And It's funny how Chaggie fans use "they're together for a long time" to justify the fact that Vivziepop has written them so poorly and that they look more like just friends, just bc of that, since these two exist and they actually do look like a married couple, not like just friends (Spinerella x Netossa from She-ra)

Harlivy

I ship these two in every universe. Even tho the Harley Quinn show has flaws, I still love their dynamic, yeah, even despite it being "one of those I have brought up in that post", I still ship them and think they're cute. I love that Harley has fully recovered from her relationship with Joker and that Ivy has found her true love, someone she can spend the rest of her life with (Harley x Ivy from Harley Quinn show and DC comics/cartoons)

Korrasami

I never was one of those people who say Korrasami was rushed. Yeah, the creators couldnt fully show them in the show, but they did in the comics and I haven't seen anyone who has read them and said they're bad-written. The comics show them so well, It's amazing, healthy and one of the best wlw representations I've seen! (Korra x Asami from The legend of Korra)

Obviously, that's not all of them, but those I love the most. Some of other canon wlw couples I love are: Bubblegum x Marcelin from Adventure time, Apple x Darling from Every after high, Haruka x Michiru from Sailor moon, Utena x Anthy from Revolutionary girl Utena, Kirari x Sayaka from Kakegurui, Ruby x Sapphire form Steven Universe, Vi x Caitlyn from Arcane, Sara x Nyssa from Arrow and Jennifer x Needy form Jennifer's body (I know the last two are not animated, but I still wanna include them)

So, yeah, there are a lot of wlw canon and popular ships I dislike or critic, which isn't because I hate wlw, but bc I love it and want it to be written better and be more various, than just "sun x moon", since there are a lot of so different wlm and mlm dynamics, while for wlw It's almost always either the same, or is just problematic, like Catradora. Tbh, as far as I remember, the only wlw ships I wrote bad things about were Lumity and Catradora, besides that post, so I don't know why exactly you thought it means I dislike all or most of the wlw ships, but I don't anyways

///Cherry Cheesecake\\\

{FT. Ace Trappola, Eva Lovett, (ACEVA), Cater Diamond, Madelyn Valley, and Grim} ||Courtyard - Afterschool; 4:30 PM|| [The prefect and Grim along with Cater are in the courtyard, chatting about anything that comes to their mind, ranging from shower thoughts to conversations... Until Cater notices Ace and Eva chasing each other into the courtyard.]

Cater: Oh, would you look at that! It's Cherry Cheesecake-

Madelyn: Cherry Cheesecake? Is that some type of dessert I haven't heard of or somethin'? Grim: Dunno... I'm pretty sure I would've heard about it by now if Ace had tried it-

Cater: No, you sillies- It's Ace and-

[At that moment, Ace would tackle Eva to the ground, just behind the two..]

Ace: Gotcha now, shortstack! Eva: ACK-! Fine, fine... You win the bet... I'll make you a jacket this weekend

Ace: Thank you~

Grim: .... So Cater continue? Cater: As I was saying, since Ace enjoys Cherry treats... And Eva enjoys cheesecake, I just decided to put the two together and got their ship-duo-thingy name...

[Ace would eventually get off of Eva, sit cross-legged, and bring the female into his lap while wrapping his arms around her waist..]

Madelyn: I get it... And Eva! How are you doing? Eva (Trying to shove Ace's face away from her cheek and neck): Great! I would be even better if this ginger could stop trying to do PDA-

Ace: Awwh- But you love it! Grim: sometimes I wonder why you humans do such things-

Cater: Nah, just let the two be... Honestly they're kinda my OTP-

Madelyn: Yeah... I actually agree-

Eva: Ace, if you want to be a good boy for me, then please listen and wait till we get to the dorms, hmm?

Ace, pouts: Fine.

IWTV 2022 - My Top 10 Reactors (2024)

Disclosure: I'm a diehard Louis-stan & Claudia's self-appointed pro bono lawyer. I'm also Loustat OTP shipper, who loves giving Lestat a hard time, cuz he deserves it.

#1: FrankFreezy (S1 & S2 complete)

My vibe check always looks at how reactors respond to Lestat (S1) & Armand (S2), vs Louis & Claudia. I deeply appreciate how Frank's videos are even longer than the eps themselves, cuz he actually takes time to THINK. He won my heart when he said he identifies with Louis the most (he even painted a beautifully sensitive portrait of LDPDL), cuz he'd seen abusive relationships IRL, and was able to recognize certain power imbalances & toxic behavior cuz of his personal experiences. He can equally defend Louis & Claudia, AND rightly call them out when they act out of pocket (esp. Louis); not from a place of hatred or racism or ageism or bad faith gotchas, but cuz he KNOWS. He likes Louis' moments of self reflection, cuz he himself has been hated by people he's mistreated in the past, too. Frank's introspective response to S2 (esp. 2x8) was the purest, rawest response I've ever seen from a reactor. You HAVE to rewatch this show, and PAY ATTENTION to the deeper meanings & messages & lessons. NO, Lou & Claud are not angels, they do problematic effed up things. But the show's not about crucifying them (a la the Trial); it's about exploring how trauma & abuse affects people, and affects relationship/family dynamics in complex & messy ways. Frank just has such emotionally mature takes, it's really refreshing, when so many reactors are surface-deep.

#2: Olurinatti Pop! (S1 & S2 complete)

My QUEEN. A criminal defense lawyer IRL, Olay takes not a drop of BS from Louis, his garbage family, Armand, and ESPECIALLY not from Lestat. Despite being the embodiment of Claudia's rage, Olay's HILARIOUS as she chews these ridiculous characters new arseholes, visibly trying to not strangle them through the frikkin screen. XD I fell in love with Olay when she swiftly pointed out the gendered/racial/power imbalances between Louis & everyone he interacts with as a closeted Black gay man during Jim Crow; and how Lestat's toxic AF color blindness inevitably led to gaslighting, manipulation, and abuse. I love Loustat, but I also appreciate having someone who can yank my rose-tinted glasses off & point out their flaws; urging us to be more critical of the BS being slung in our faces. Lestat Apologists vacate the premises immediately, cuz Olay is NOT playing with y'all.

#3: What R U Doing Bree (S1 & S2 complete)

Another Black female criminal justice/defense lawyer IRL (I have a type), Bree's a longtime Tumblrina with a very analytical way of processing the characters and episodes, that is equal parts smart and equal parts unhinged fangirl. She's a Daniel Molloy stan (complete with a lifesized cardboard cutout of Eric Bogosian, omfg, LOL), and lives for him calling out all the inconsistencies in Loumand's accounts. She also gives flowers to the other characters, meticulously allotting Brownie Points every time they do/say something she likes--which makes it fun to watch her and start knowing ahead of time what she'll give BPs to. Daniel & Claudia get the most flowers, and she enjoys Louis, which is crucial for me as a Loustan. Lestat had to grow on her after a few rewatches, and she now fondly calls him her "dumb son," LOL.

#4: AvatarAdrian (S1 & S2 complete)

I LOVE having a Black gay man's reactions to this show, omg. Adrian's recaps are so dang FUNNY--he lives for ALL the mess. Most importantly, he stays ready to clock Lestat and his busted "George Washington" colonizer behavior, and I'm here for it! Adrian's Team Loumand, so I can't, but I get it, cuz Lestat.

#5: ShalayahHomebody TV (up to 2x6 as of 11/20/24)

My original favorite IWTV reactor, Shalayah just calls ish out like she sees it. I love myself a good ranter who can just go AWF on fools (esp. Lestat), no holds barred. IRL/technical stuff slowed Shalayah down a lot, and she hasn't finished S2 yet, so I ended up lowering her on my list, but Shalaya's so freaking awesome awesome--funny & here for all the tea and mess. She even made watching Mayfair Witches fun, as she dragged everyone for filth.

#6: PettyPumpkins (S1 & S2 complete)

I've learned to avoid white reactors in this fandom, cuz too many of them are either complaining book purists or just blatant racists. But Petty Pumpkins are absolute darlings. They are funny and love mess & drama, but are also so sensitive & sweet; when they cry I cry. They absolutely love Claudia, and immediately clocked Armand as the snake he is--Armand Apologists beware, cuz they WILL call y'all out during their reactions.

#7: Syntell (S1 & S2 complete)

Two HBCU educated articulate Black reactors who know about the history of the Black experience in America, they immediately & authentically & candidly talk to the racial things Louis experiences in a way VERY FEW reactors ever do in this out-of-touch fandom--THAT PART! Their videos are longer cuz they talk more, with a dedicated commentary/discussion section after each ep. I like Syntell (the man--an Armand stan) way more than M.Claire (the lady--a Lestan, who hated the S3 promo). Syntell pays attention WAY more, and catches on to themes & messages & layers quicker, and his takes are so good. But they bounce well off of each other. Neither of them cared for S1 Claudia much, but M.Claire really didn't like her.

#8: Bird Calls (S1 & S2 complete)

These ladies are fun to watch--a bit lighter on the commentary, but heavy on the micro/macro-expressions. They were NOT here for Loustat, but the difference with their take on 1x5/1x6 that put them above FoxTaco for me is that they're here for CLAUDIA and her liberation, rather than being sour cuz it wasn't fun watching abused!Louis rather than BAMF!Lestat. I esp. like Resha (afro); she has that quick snazzy personality that I just really vibe with, as she catches things hella fast & has zero time for BS--she instantly clocked Armand as a p.o.s. in 1x7 and I was ROLLING. She talks more than Akaya (beanie), and mostly everything she says is exactly what I was thinking.

#9: FoxTaco (S1 & S2 complete)

TBH Taco makes me mad sometimes, cuz S1 was Louis' story, and in 1x6 he was way too callous & insensitive when he outright said he didn't care about seeing Louis' depression, like...? Wrong show, my guy. 😅 But when he's tuned in, he's on point a lot of the time, which makes his rich commentary valuable & insightful, even when I don't agree with his takes. I know I'll enjoy him more in S3, when his attitude as a Lestan fits better with a show focusing on Lestat's experiences & personality rather than Louis'.

#10: Nikki and Amber TV (S1 & S2 complete)

Entertaining and engaging, but it frustrates me sometimes when they miss things, but not bother to rewind and go back to better understand what they're watching. I get wanting to do blind 1st time watches/reactions, the show must go on, but I wish they spent more time afterwards/during on reviewing with commentary; cuz when they do talk more they have such good points to make, and I love hearing their perspectives as two parents.

[doyelikehaggis]

I would love if Christian came back but only if him and Syed are still together. I don't want a pointless offscreen breakup especially since they had a happy exit together.

I totally feel that! It would be pretty heartbreaking if Christian came back alone, especially because as you said they had a happy exit together. We know John would love to return, so now he just has to convince Marc to join him so that Christian and Syed stay together! We deserve more of married chryed <3

Private Lessons

(Bireena will always be my otp but Smoke and Sareena are a sexy pairing too!)

Tomas couldn't help but feel surprised when Ashrah informed him that her sister, Sareena, wanted to train with them. He had expected Sareena to be somewhat similar to Ashrah, but as soon as he met her, he realized how different they truly were. Sareena was a creature of rebellious and carefree spirit, her striking appearance adorned in gothic allure with tight black leather and crimson armor. Her tongue as sharp as the sickles she wielded in battle.

As they ventured into a secluded corner of the fire gardens to honor Sareena's request for a private training session, Tomas couldn't escape the unsettling sensation that the demoness had more than just kombat on her mind. It was as if she were playfully toying with him, leaving him with a sense of anticipation.

Halfway into their match, Sareena's mischievous nature got the best of her. She had always found Tomas's innocence and purity enticing, and now that she got him alone, she wished to test the waters a bit. With a sly grin, she seized an opportunity to gain the upper hand. In a swift and unexpected move, she closed the distance between them and pressed her lips to Tomas's in a passionate kiss.

Tomas's eyes widened in surprise, and his usually unshakable focus wavered for just a moment. Sareena's lips were warm and inviting, and her boldness took him completely off guard. It was a calculated distraction, and it worked like a charm. Sareena took advantage of the opening she had created, slipping past Smoke's defenses with ease and executing a skillful takedown. She pinned him to the grass with a wolfish grin.

"Gotcha," she teased, her dark eyes sparkling with mischief as she straddled him.

Tomas's cheeks burned with embarrassment. "You-you cheated!" His stuttering protest was met with Sareena's soft laughter, a sound as lovely as the sweetest melody. That smirk of hers had an inexplicable effect on him.

Sareena, her eyes reminded Tomas of glossy obsidian glass. They locked onto his gray ones and she slowed leaned closer. She reached out to stroke his hair gently. "All is fair in love and war, sweet Tomas," she purred, her voice like a seductive whisper. "Besides, did the Lin Kuei not teach you to expect the unexpected?"

Tomas longed to respond, but his words remained trapped in his throat. He found himself utterly captivated by the demoness on top of him, she had successfully ensnared the warrior.

"Now..." Sareena's voice smooth, "What shall be my prize for victory?" She inquired, her nails lightly tracing a path from his cheek, down his neck, and toward the collar of his Shari Ryu uniform. Tomas's heart pounded in his chest as her hungry gaze held him prisoner. As his mind raced, Tomas couldn't help but wonder if this was all a dream or not. The boundary between reality and fantasy blurred as he succumbed her. In that moment, he decided it didn't really matter whether it was a dream or reality, because he felt her soft lips against his once more.

My good friends Kanji and/or Naoto?

going for kanji first if i feel it i will also do naoto

favorite thing about them: EVERYTHING HE'S THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT discounting anime/spinoff yu he is my favourite persona 4 character by a mile i love that dude

least favorite thing about them: not his fault. they have GOT to stop being homophobic to him. also the golden epilogue design is the biggest miss possible

favorite line: see ya! ^_^ and more specifically all the context around it

brOTP: him and labrys! i loved kanji's arena route so much... also him and sho for predictable reasons i WILL finish that story sometime!!! OOH or him and rise... i really love their combative besties situation i know they were making a RUCKUS in those summer school classes!!!

OTP: you truly cannot go wrong with kannao. also this is NOT A RELATIONSHIP I MUST STRESS THIS IS NOT RECIPROCATED but his little baby crush on akihiko is really cute

nOTP: any actual relationship between him and akihiko is like. that's weird kanji is a high schooler

random headcanon: i don't really think it's music he would listen to normally but after p4 he went and listened to all of rise's music to support her. but then he was kind of thoughtless about how he communicated this and she got mad. she sends him free tickets to her shows in p5 times i think, it's like a running thing for them now

unpopular opinion: you guys have gotta stop sidelining his gay ass in favour of yosuke it isn't fair to him. also i could see him as bi i suppose but i dislike the reasoning a lot of people give for it. basically every bit of p4 media hammers in the idea that he developed a crush on naoto as a boy and no matter how you personally see naoto (a whole other can of worms) they make it very clear that kanji personally like. has trouble not seeing him as a boy. naoto doesn't prove anything and i hate that people use that as some gotcha about kanji's sexuality

song i associate with them: nothing comes to mind... alas

favourite picture of them: basically any image where he's cute. i love his smiling sprite soooooo much mr kitty mouth

Sebuah cerita dari Mbak N yang HP nya ke reset factory menggunakan find my device.

Suatu minggu yang tenang, setelah aku menyelesaikan kerjaanku di property satunya. Balik ke kantor buat sekedar 'leyeh leyeh' sambil nungguin kerjaan lain. Pas ngeliatin CCTV dengan santai. Dari balik pintu mbak N berbicara.

Kak, hp ku kena hack deh. Tiba tiba mati. setelah ngeklik beberapa pertanyaan recovery.

Segeralah kuambil hp-nya dan kucoba melakukan inisialisasi awal seperti halnya hp yang masih baru.

Dan benar saja, si hp didapati telah dilakukan reset factory.

Kucoba login ulang email dari hp tersebut. Dari mulai isi username, password dan eh ga bisa masuk pakai OTP? bisanya melalui perangkatnya?

lah ini kan perangkat yang dimaksud?

ooo.. ternyata notifikasi akan muncul jia akun sudah tertaut di hp tersebut. Apalah daya ternyata tidak bisa melakukan recovery.

Perlu diketahui, bahwa email yang dilakukan reset factory adalah email kedua yang ditautkan di hp anaknya.

Secara tidak langsung ada angin segar bahwasanya data data dari email utama tidak bocor ke pelaku tadi.

Kucoba lagi dengan pikiran yang lebih rileks. Klak klik ini itu. dan gotcha! bisa dimunculkan menu OTP. dan kami lakukan verifikasi dari nomor yang ditautkan di email utama.

Singkat cerita email pertama bisa didapatkan.

Lanjut untuk mendapatkan email ketiga (email yang tertaut di hp anaknya Mbak M)

Email menggunakan google-mail untuk beroperasi. Saat saya coba untuk login. Password email dan recovery sudah diganti oleh pelaku. Namun ada sebuah fitur pertolongan. Asalkan tahu email recovery sebelumnya. Ini masih bisa didapatkan!

Kumasukkan email recovery sebelumnya dan mencoba masuk ke email tersebut. Karena email menggunakan platform yang agak lain. Sepertinya bisa diandalkan. Dan benar saja. Berbekal hal tersebut. Email ketiga berhasil didapatkan berkat email kedua ini.

Setelah itu, saya coba melakukan pengecekan ke perangkat mana yang barusan terkoneksi. Benar saja, ada satu perangkat yang tidak dikenal yang berada di sumatra utara terdeteksi oleh google.find my device. Ya karena saya berbaik hati. Saya cuma klik Reset Perangkat (setelan pabrik).

Dan perangkat pun terdisconnect.

Apapun yang terjadi dengan perangkat tersebut saya tidak pikirkan.

Lalu lanjut bersih bersih jejak recovery pelaku di email ke 3 tadi.

Setelah selesai sambil tadi perangkat Mbak N melakukan recovery data data sebelumnya. Akhirnya permasalahan selesai. Data kembali (walau beberapa memang hilang). Dan email ketiga kembalinke pemiliknya. Plus Saya senang. Asupan adrenalinenya ada nih.

Sekian.

So glad to meet person who feels the same way about aer/ti. CxA is forever my OTP but I also ship Aerith with another lady (aka Lightning. Hey I love shipping Aerith with serious characters, okay?). And I certainly would've liked AxT if certain part people didn't use the ship as a sort of "gotcha" against CxA...

its what puts me off zerith too cus most people who ship that are clotis in disguise using the ship to get Aerith out of the way lol shame for them that zerith were found dead in a ditch in rebirth im ajsjjdjd they really thought bringing Zack back meant a reunion was going to happen and convinced themselves the main theme song was about him instead of hmm idk the main character perhaps

Handsome Jack😼

hell yeah 💞

how I feel about this character

I don't even know if I have the words to describe how much I adore him (& tim. they are a matching pair, do NOT separate!) he's everything to me and he's the best villain I've ever seen in any media ever imho. buuuut also I take great pleasure in annihilating him in his boss battle and letting lilith take the honor of killing his ass in bl2 because he's awful and I hate him (affectionate and derogatory all at once). basically he's the worst but your honor I fucking love him so much

all the people I ship romantically with this character

TIM!!!!!!!!! nisha, moxxi, rhys on occasion (they were the whole reason I got into this fandom so they have a special place in my heart). but there are several other characters I ship with him in purely sexual ways such as axton and zer0, sometimes katagawa. I love putting this man with anyone who walks

my non-romantic OTP for this character

I don't know if I have one 🤔

my unpopular opinion about this character

"hj was right/the good guy" makes me feel like I'm losing my mind actually like please can we stop using the "VHs kill too" as a gotcha? it's about CONTEXT. when literally EVERYONE in a universe is a murderer you cannot use killing people as a metric for good and bad anymore! that goes completely out the window in a universe like borderlands! I have so much more I could say on that topic including my semi-bandit-sympathizer take (also about context but the gist is that Full On Genocide Is Bad, Actually and even if you see all bandits as evil people who all deserve to die, jack lumps regular citizens in with bandits if they don't move to his designated cities with extremely strict rules that punish you for breaking them with death) but instead I'll just also say he was abusing his daughter WELL before tps so like.... and even if he was somehow justified for all of that (he is not ♥️) I don't WANT jack to be "right"! I want jack to be disgustingly evil, that's what's fun about him! killing people for cursing is EVIL! literally everything about the way he runs overlook is EVIL! but all that makes him FUN to hate (and love)! I don't want him to be a good guy, I like him dreadfully awful

this was not supposed to be a rant but I have a lot to say. this is a condensed version. sorry LAUGHS

one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

I wish he had open mouth kissed tim on screen /-:
