#phoenix: hold on this kid reminds me of someone

[bradshawsvinyl]

Begin Again Part Two

As a first grade teacher, you couldn’t help but fall for your sweet student and her very attractive Navy fighter pilot father.

Part One. Part Three.

Bradley could not believe his ears. He was pretty sure if he looked into a mirror his face would be tomato red. He had never felt more humbled in his life.

“I’m not sure where she got that from,” Bradley awkwardly laughed. “You know how kids are. They get confused sometimes. Right Tara?”

“But Daddy,” Tara started. “You told Aunt Phoenix that my teacher was…”

“Well,” Bradley said while looking at you. “We have to um get going. See you tomorrow Ms. Y/L/N.” He practically dragged Tara out of your classroom.

You politely smiled and waved. “Bye Tara! Bye Mr. Bradshaw!” You said.

Bradley and Tara leaving meant you finally had some time to yourself. You wondered if Tara was telling the truth. Bradley was right. You did know how kids are. Maybe Tara overheard Bradley’s conversation and got confused. That had to be why she said that.

The next day on base, Bradley practically ran to Phoenix. “What do I do? Phoenix please help me,” He begged.

Phoenix began walking towards the on base locker rooms. “Bradshaw, what the hell is up with you?”

Bradley made quick steps to keep up with Phoenix. “Yesterday, when I went to pick up Tara, she walked up to her teacher and told her that I think she’s pretty,” he said with a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

“Yikes Rooster,” Phoenix replied. “I don’t even think I can help you get out of that one.” She said before bursting into laughter.

“Phoenix please. What should I say to her today? Should I just ignore her or what? You’re the girl here, you have to have something I can do.” Bradley said, voice laced with desperation.

“Look Bradley,” Phoenix said seriously. “Just be honest with her. Tell her that what Tara said is true and that you meant no harm by it. I don’t know what else to say.”

Bradley sighed, said goodbye to Phoenix, and did the walk of shame to his Ford Bronco. It was time to pick up Tara again. It was time to see you again.

At school, Tara was the last person to be picked up again. You led her inside of your classroom and patiently waited for her father to arrive. At four o clock, he knocked on your door.

“Daddy,” Tara yelled while running to Bradley.

“Hi sweetie!” He said while giving her a hug. “Hi Ms Y/L/N.” He said with a polite wave in your direction.

“Hi Mr. Bradshaw.” You said politely. “Before you go, I just wanted to remind you that drop off is at 3 o'clock.”

“Crap,” he said while letting go of Tara. “Sorry. I’m a single dad and sometimes it’s hard to transport Tara from place to place. I fly planes for the Navy so my schedule isn’t very lenient.”

“It’s okay Mr. Bradshaw.” You said while smiling at him. “I have no problem keeping Tara after school for a few hours if it would help you.”

“That would mean a lot as long as it’s not an inconvenience to you.” He said. Bradley couldn’t believe you had offered to watch Tara for him. Finding someone he trusted to watch Tara while he was at work could be hard. Not only were you nice to look at, you were also just nice. “You can just call me Bradley by the way.”

“I’m Y/N then,” you said while holding your hand out for him to shake. “I’m happy to help you. I know it’s only the third day of school but Tara is one of my best students so far.” You said with a wide smile in Tara’s direction.

“Thank you so much.” He smiled while grabbing Tara’s backpack and jacket. “Oh.” He said while turning around to face you again. He quickly ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes before quickly opening them again. “About what Tara said yesterday,” he started. “I did say you were attractive in confidence to my friend. She must have overheard and I’m really sorry if this makes things awkward now, but I just wanted you to know the truth,” he rambled on, “But um yeah I apologize.” He said while running his fingers through his hair again.

“All is forgotten,” you said. “And for the record, you’re not too bad yourself.” You said, slightly blushing.

Bradley grinned. He couldn’t believe his ears. “I should probably give you my number,” he said while pulling out his phone. “You know since you’re going to be staying with Tara for a while after school.”

“Right.” You said taking his phone and typing in your number. “I’ll see you tomorrow Tara.” You waved. “Bye Bradley!”

When you checked your phone after getting home and showering you saw a message from an unknown number.

Hey, it's Bradley. I can’t wait to see more of you. And thanks again for helping with Tara.

You put your phone down and smiled. Then you thought of what to say to Bradley.

Happy to help! See you tomorrow.

You couldn’t wait to see more of Bradley either.

Authors note: I love writing these characters! Please let me know if you want part three. Happy Reading!

Ok there's a lot of reasons throughout Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Year, both in and out of game, why Kipperlily would hate Riz specifically the most. Many of which folks have been pointing out. Heck, it might not go too deep - for all we know, it could all chalk up to this god situation inducing high levels of rage and jealousy and a warped perspective of justice and Riz happened to be in line of fire.

But now that we're beginning to see she might have hated him from day one, it reminded me: someone (or probably more than one person) recently theorised that the rat grinders might be upset that lucy or other students didn't get resurrected and the bad kids have had some pretty miraculous resurrections. Honestly this next bit doesn't hold up to inspection since Lucy died relatively recently, so maybe just call this a headcannon.

Riz was the one, after that infamous episode 2'd incident on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, who ran out to get help, who was trying to find a cleric teacher or principal to help heal and resurrect these kids he had just met. These kids got given detention in the first hours of the first day of school and yet they got saved, by principal augefort no less, and being resurrected via the last phoenix egg of all things, and then the principal and the guidance counselor fuuuckin died for it. (Sidenote: did she perhaps know mr gibbons outside of school? Did she know penny luckstone?)

I absolutely adored and loved the Rhett headcanons. Can we please get matching Bobby ones pretty pretty please with diabetes inducing amount of sugar on top 🥺🙏💕💕💕

Aaaaa, thank you! I was hoping somebody would ask for a set of Bobby headcanons! :D This got a little long again 💃

✧˖° General Bob Headcanons

Snores, but very, very lightly? To the point that he sounds more like a cat purring than anything. If you tell him he does it, he goes red in the face and denies it, even if you have video evidence of it. Bobby hears snoring and immediately thinks he must be snoring loud enough to guide ships through the fog...

Bob has this funny thing where he intentionally buys damaged products. He got left out of things a lot as a kid, the last to be picked for dodgeball, was always last to be partnered up for assignments, little things that never felt all too great.

So now he's taking home a dented can of Lysol because he knows how shitty it feels to be left out.

It is so, so easy to make this man smile. You can make the dumbest joke of all time, and Bob's got a cheesy grin that's brighter than the sun itself.

Bob doesn't always have the words to describe what he's feeling or trying to say. No matter how hard he tries, those words simply don't bubble up in the ol' noggin, and he's stuck stuttering until he can come up with something.

The longer he can't find the words he wants to use, the brighter his face goes. Blushes from the tips of his ears all the way down into his chest. Poor baby looks like he's been sunburnt

Buys trinkets that remind him of his friends, and he's got an entire shelf dedicated to housing them. A glass-blown phoenix that he found in a gift shop, a plush coyote that he picked up at the zoo, a horseshoe because his momma loves horses.

Has a talent for origami. It started out as a meaningless thing to ease his nerves, but it quickly devolved into an obsession. Flowers, elephants, stars, butterflies, he knows no bounds. He's been known for leaving them in places and waiting around the corner to see who takes it. There's no better feeling than watching someone find it and take it with them.

That being said, Bob showers his significant other in them. Once he becomes comfortable, you will never know peace. There are stars in your cups, there were origami flowers lining the edge of your clawfoot bath this morning, and you've been finding hearts for months.

Hates when people stand behind him. It's more of a nervous thing than anything because there is nothing worse than thinking you're alone and sensing someone looming behind you. If Bob can find a spot where his back is to the wall, you best believe he will be there.

Bobby can play the guitar and the piano, but he's so, so shy about it. He doesn't know where to look or what to do with his eyes while he's playing it, and he really, really doesn't know what to say if you compliment him on it.

Green thumb. Every plant is safe with Robert Floyd; growing up on a farm, it's hard not to get good at growing things. From dandelions to lettuce, he can garden just about anything.

Also happens to talk to the flowers as if they can hear him. "Hi buddies, are you getting enough sunshine?" "Hold on, hold on, I'll water you in a second." "Do you need me to rotate you?"

Eats all one type of food before moving on to the next thing on his plate. It's more of a focus thing than anything; Bob just doesn't...think to switch from the mashed potatoes to the green beans until the potatoes are completely gone.

Speaking of food, Bob unintentionally gives his S/O food-themed pet names. Honey, peaches, sugar, pumpkin, sweetie. He hardly notices he's doing it; it's just one of those things that happened.

Bob could very well have his vision corrected with a simple surgery, but he chooses not to have it because he's so used to having glasses. He's been wearing glasses since he was five; they're a part of his identity at this point.

He's one of the unlucky ones who turn bright red when he drinks alcohol. Didn't realize it until someone pointed it out, and now he absolutely will not drink in public because he's afraid of turning as red as a stop light.

Drinks his coffee black. Primarily because he can never get the ratio of additives to his liking; too much creamer, but then it's too much sugar, and oh, well, would you look at that, he accidentally grabbed the salt instead of the sugar.

Animal lover to the core. Please take him to the zoo or the aquarium, he's been dying to go, but nobody will go with him :( His favorites have always been the red pandas and the jellyfish. For no reason other than he finds them cute.

Bob's got thighs for days. God, is it a sight to watch him struggle to get into his jeans. He's always gotta jump to get them past those perfectly pale thighs.

Does this thing where he gets lost in your eyes when you speak. He's listening, but good lord, he is absolutely drowning in the way your eyes twinkle as you talk to him. Chin in hand, humming along to whatever you have to say.

Things I Noticed While Writing Light The Fuse: Part 3, Episode 1

Phew okay time to wrap this one up for real this time!

This shot is interesting, we've got Ethan staring at Meredith, who's again looking at him, although probably because he's new and an easy target lol and then Johnson is watching Ethan, probably because he's looking at Meredith, while Matty has his eye on the bar

This is as far back as this shot gets, but Avron is nowhere in sight, so he had to have seen Matty walk over and purposefully approach him, what an asshole

Found him, weasel was waiting over there on the other side of the bar. Also I still can't get over Agnes calling him Prince it's so cute I just had to make it his actual title, the Prince of the Phoenixes 🥰 but I know it's probably got a bitter side to it too as a reminder that he is still a Phoenix, my deep dive on Matty could go on forever do not get me started

Okay I needed to point out this entire scene cause these two have such a fascinating not even relationship or rivalry but SOMETHING going on that I need to sit down with the creator and Rhys to know exactly what happened. I can theorize and write up Avron being horrible all day long but my desire to know what went on outside of 'Avron becomes a Brawler and Matty is jealous' because every single acting choice they chose for this scene is so fucking on purpose.

The way he just freezes and stares when he hears his voice isn't jealousy, that's a reaction. He was already tired from the run so he seems to be in a more serious mood here, but something switches as soon as Avron shows up. This is no longer fun on the river Matty, or initiation 'tell me why you wanna be a Phoenix' Matty, this is him upset over something, and Avron brushing him off is only making it worse like look at his face change once he touches him

That feels like such a deeper hatred than just jealousy. The way Avron is holding onto him and brushed him so roughly, the need to do full eye contact between them, and Matty's mouth twitches again before he says no problem. He was about to start something and I really need to know what happened you guys it's scenes like this that makes this show my Roman Empire

I looked up dandelion boys specifically for this fic and it turns out it means something along the lines of someone who has lived through great hardship and came out resilient and strong and I'm sobbing again

I don't want just this scene to be another post on its own so I'll save the rest of this for my eventual Matty deep dive but oh my god. Oh my god. The way he plays all of this. He wants to be a Brawler so bad but we all saw how happy he was on the river. I'm gunna cry again and I'm not joking this time. Oh my god.

Here it is, the moment that made me wanna do this series in the first place because I definitely didn't notice this the first time since Johnson was too hot. While Matty is getting the drinks, Johnson and Ethan grab some seats and sit down. Johnson is lighting a cigarette. Matty sits down with the drinks, Johnson is smoking throughout the whole scene, Meredith leaves, and then talks to Joel. Matty then talks to Ethan about her, now smoking, and Johnson is lighting another cigarette. Matty stole it from him instead of getting his own. They're married guys I'm not even kidding with this one.

Also I just love the insinuation of Johnson falling for all of them with no example from Matty, yet he's the only one who actually talks to a Pinup (cough Angel cough) at any point in the show. Gunna be a little full of myself for a second and say out of all the stuff I've written for the fic series so far, I feel like their talk on the car about love might be the closest to canon out of everything, it just feels right.

Okay first of all I love the little smile Ethan gives at their warning, what a sweet pea. Second there's Avron staring entirely at Matty again, just completely locked on. My god I need to know what their deal is you guys this is getting serious

He's not straight. This isn't a theory. I also think I was dead on with Matty only starting this conversation because he didn't like how he was talking to Ethan. Best way to get his attention away is to make him focused on Matty again after all

I really love the detail of Ethan trying really hard not to engage after getting involved with the asshole at the restaurant and him going so still the second he looks at Avron

His mouth was twitching again, he reached his breaking point with that one, he's not even looking at Ethan. Also lmao at Johnson looking like me the second I don't have my phone, and the cute lil spin in his chair I love him so damn much

This is another interesting shot to me, Matty is the one saying all this, and Johnson does a fake impressed whistle to go along with it, but Avron says 'that's right' to Johnson out of everyone there, like he should be impressed or something, you can see him look his way specifically, away from Matty and not to Ethan, I wanna know why they choose that direction (it's because I'm right and he's jealous)

This is so evil of Matty to reveal the Aunt V secret, look at how Avron's smile just falls because it's getting out, which is why I am constantly insisting that this runs deeper than jealousy because this is so incredibly personal, this one was made to hurt. Also in the og script they actually caught Avron getting a bj from a guy when they were on the river!

I'm crying again ;w; wonder why they went from this to something even worse? Probably because of all the violence everyone is about to lay out on this man heh me included

What did Avron do to make Matty say this??? What did he repeat that Matty must've told him??? Johnson is staring him down and agreeing with him too I'm gunna lose my mind!!!

Ethan coming in hot with the misdirection so he doesn't hurt Matty, Avron successfully reaching for him only for Matty to take it back, and those punches are not just jealousy again guys he's so fuckin mad here! He hurt him and Matty is hurting him back THIS IS KILLING ME

Once again Johnson is just sitting and watching back there. I mentioned it the first time I posted this scene a while back but I firmly believe he wasn't gunna let Joel throw him out, or maybe he knows that Joel actually wouldn't do that to begin with and this is just to scare him after acting out? The man really does have a soft spot for him so this wouldn't have been the end, he just needs to be grounded for the night and Johnson is aware of that. Obviously I wrote him right there trying to get Joel off cause the thought makes me cry, but I can just as easily picture them sitting outside afterward, Johnson just hands Matty a drink and they hang around all silent GAH I wanna write now but I can't until the weekend OTL

This isn't an observation. I do love how Ethan stands his ground cause we all know he isn't fragile, but jesus christ if anyone grabbed me like that I'd fold so fuckin fast 😳 On another note, it's probably intentional but I really thought Joel was Meredith's dad by this point lol so I had to make Ethan say just that in the fic

This is another interesting shot because Meredith comes into focus and waves of course, but that's also when Matty and Johnson come into focus as well ;w; he could very much be looking at them and then notice that she was there too (which is how I wrote it) just as much as him looking at her while they happen to be walking by, but of course my bet's on the former cause I love them. I'm also madly in love with the track that plays during this scene it's so damn good

They're looking at each other in the mirror 😭 and Matty was already looking before Ethan I can't take thiiiis

It's the end of the first episode are they trying to kill everyone watching?? Cause that certainly nearly happened to me when I saw Johnson looking like this godDAMN also Matty in a tie is the cutest thing I've ever seen I love how all three of them dress so much 🥰

And that's it for episode 1! I used up almost/all my pics/gifs in all three of these and I could've used so many more just on those Matty scenes, thankfully not as much happens in the future so I should be good sans probably the finale which might need two or more depending on how much I cry over the big reveal ;w; ❤️💛💙

Stand-Off and Stories

Part 10 of season 2 of my ongoing story set in the sentient SG/LL au from @cuppajj !

Boy, if it wasn't for cuppa helping me out, I would have had a writer's block for sure. Well, a had a tiny one, but still.

Trigger Warning: none

-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-.o.-

Rodimus didn’t know how long they were standing like this. Him holding Vos and Helex holding Phoenix, while the rest of the DJD looked towards him. If he wouldn’t know better, Rodimus would say that they had seen a ghost. Maybe they had. He has been gone for quite a while. 

“I’m not going to repeat myself a third time. I will burn his head off, if you don’t let Phoenix go.” 

“You won’t.” Said Tarn, as he took one step toward Rodimus. To which the prime responded by taking one back while pressing his servo harder against Vos’ head. “And what makes you think I wouldn’t?”

“Your brother is watching.” 

This one sentence caused Rodimus’ to hesitate for a moment. Was he really going to kill someone right in front of Phoenix? Could Phoenix’s spark and mind even take it? Probably not. He could take seeing dead Cybertronians, living on board the Lost Light teached him that, but seeing someone die? Rrunningway’s death still lingered in Phoenix’s mind as a dark reminder. It haunted his dreams and sometimes, his waking moments too. So, no. Tarn was right. Rodimus wouldn’t kill Vos. Not when Phoenix was watching him with his teary optics, begging him to do something. Anything. 

And so, with a heavy sight, Rodimus let Vos go and raised his servos high into the air. Showing the DJD that he was unarmed and no threat. “See? I let him go. I didn’t kill him, can you now, please, let go of Phoenix? The kid’s going to have a panic attack if you keep holding him like that. He’s already scared enough of Cybertronians with pointy teeth, I don’t need him fearing tall mechs too.” 

“No, not until you told us how you’re still alive.” Said Tarn, because they had seen Rodimus’ corpse as they saved Overlord. They had seen all the corpses on board the Lost Light, but right now, in front of them, stood Rodimus Prime. Alive and calling the youngliing they had been searching for his brother. Tarn wanted to know why. “Because we saw your corpse on board the ship as we saved Overlord. We saw all the corpses.”

“You… that’s not right. The Lost Light would have said something, if you and your team would have boarded them. The only crew that ever came was Phoenix’s.” Answered Rodimus, as he slowly lowered his arms to cross them over his chestplate. With one servo holding his chin in thought. “Something is not adding up… Not at all.” Muttered the prime, as he slowly paced back and forth. “Overlord is dead. We killed him, after he escaped his cell. He’s dead… And yet you say he’s alive…”

Tarn shook his head at the ramblings of the prime, before speaking up himself. “No, Overlord is very much alive. As I said, we  saved him from your ship, before killing them. The ship, I mean. They transformed right after we escaped to our ship.”

This situation was becoming stranger and stranger. Not only for Tarn, but also for the rest of the DJD. However, before anyone could say something about the situation, Helex let out a painful screech, before dropping Phoenix. “He bit me!” 

After landing on the ground, Phoenix was quick to get up and try to make a run for it, but the youngling wasn’t fast enough, He was scooped up by Tesarus after only making one step away from the DJD. At least, Phoenix wasn’t thrashing around in his grip. The youngling remembered the taller mech from the amusement park after all. So, there wasn’t as much fear towards him than the rest of the DJD.

So, while Tarn and Rodimus were sharing their sides of the story (with Rodimus only talking  about the times before the Lost Light killed his crew), Phoenix looked up at Tesarus and waved slightly. Muttering a quiet ‘Hello’, to which the mech replied with a friendly ‘Hey kid’ in return. “I… didn’t get to thank you properly for your help back then… I really like Mister Sharky…” Said Phoenix, after gathering enough courage to do so. “It’s nice to have something to cuddle with when Roddy is working or fighting with my turbofox buddy...” 

“Jaw-some, I’m glad that I could help.” That pun got a giggle from Phoenix, which prompted Tesarus to continue telling one shark joke after the other. Which, in return, caused the youngspark to laugh harder than he had ever before. Something that didn’t go unnoticed by Rodimus, who stopped talking with Tarn in order to watch his brother laugh at silly one-liners and puns. The primes’ attention shifting towards his brother also didn’t go unnoticed by Tarn. “You look like this is the first time you heard your brother laugh like that.” Said the taller mech, which was met with a dry laugh from Rodimus. “I heard him laugh like that before. It was when we worked for an old cybertronian couple on an organic planet. The mech was often telling jokes to Phoenix, and they made him laugh…. He hasn’t laughed like that ever since we had to leave the planet… “

“You still haven’t told me why exactly you’re running from planet to planet. If you truly liked it with the couple, why didn’t you stay?” Asked Tarn, which earned him nothing more than a heavy sigh from the prime. He could see that Rodimus didn’t want to talk about whatever they were running from. It was clear in the way the speedster’s shoulders would sagg. “Is something hunting you?”

‘Is something hunting you?’ Rodimus thought that question over in his mind. Could he truly tell Tarn, the leader of the DJD, and a Decepticon, about who was chasing them and why he was trying to get Phoenix back to Cybertron as best as he could? Maybe they would be able to help him. Maybe he could give Phoenix to them and just keep on running. But then again, Thrillchaser is a good hunter. Rodimus has read his file once. That mech with the broken T–cog would hunt Phoenix down, should they seperate. And then, he would probably bring him back to the Lost Light, where they would use the youngspark as bait. Or worse.

So, with yet another heavy sigh, Rodimus started to tell Tarn about why they were running. And this time, he didn’t spare any detail. Telling the leader of the DJD everything that happened on the Lost Light after his crew died. Going into detail how Lightlost repaired his body over and over with the spare parts of his crew members or Cybertronians who were unlucky to enter the ship. Rodimus also told him about what Lightlost did to Phoenix. Mentioning how they managed to, figuratively, tear open the youngling’s spark and mind, filling it with fear of what might lurk outside the Lost Light. “It has gotten better.” Said the prime after finishing. “He’s slowly managing to open up towards others, but it’s still a long road until… well… Phoenix is still scared of any Cybertronian with too pointy teeth, or Sparkeaters.”

“You care for him deeply, don’t you?”

“He’s…. Yes. At first, it was because he was the only thing pulling me out of my thoughts, but then… Then I grew attached. Somehow, Primus and Unicron know why, this youngling wormed his way into my spark and I swore to myself that I would do better. For him.” A soft smile formed on Rodimus’ lips, as he watched Phoenix slowly start to warm up to the other members of the DJD. Even though he was mostly talking with Tesarus or the turbofox. 

“He’s Dominus, isn’t he? The turbofox, I mean.” Asked Rodimus after a while, to which Tarn nodded. “Yes. We found him after you Autobots were done with him. We’re working on restoring his functions now.”

“Heh, explains why he acted the way he did. I swear, I couldn’t get close to Phoenix as long as he was around… He was always growling at me, which is understandable.”

Both the prime and tall mech grew quiet after that. With the silence soon enough turning awkward, because both of them didn’t know what the next step of the other would be. “We will have to take the both of you with us.” Said Tarn after a while. “We can’t let you walk around free, not after the things you have done, Rodimus.” Rodimus could only laugh at that. As if he would let the DJD lock him up in a cell. Not when he was finally free from a fate worse than whatever the new council of Cybertron could give him. So, Rodimus took two steps to the side, raising his servos in a dismissive way. “I know, but you’re forgetting something, Tarn, I won’t let anyone lock me up again. Not after escaping the Lost Light. Soooo…. PHOENIX, THE SHEEPS ARE ESCAPING!” 

The second Rodimus yelled that Phrase, Phoenix jumped into action. Letting the small pipe-hatches on his arms and legs open, before walls of colorful smoke streamed out of them, quickly creating a thick fog in the area. Which both, Rodimus and Phoenix used to escape, by transforming and taking off in their alt-modes. With Phoenix grabbing Dominus before that though. 

Once the three made it to the ship, Rodimus was already making sure that they would be ready for departure as soon as possible, while Phoenix was having a small conversation with Dominus. “I… I know you belong with them… I know… at least I think I know… But… I… If you want to go back, you still have time to go. I could see that the blind one was happy to have you back.” Muttered Phoenix, as he looked sadly from the turbofox to the entrance of their ship and back at him. “I… I will miss you. You’re one of the few friends I ever made and… and… Just go! Go if you want to!”

But Dominus did not go. Yes, Kaon will surely worry about him, but his crew now knew that he wasn’t in any danger. At least the prime was no danger to him, and Phoenix clearly needed someone else on this ship. Even if he only could offer company and nothing more. So, Dominus softly nudged Phoenix’s arm just like he did on their first meeting. Waiting for the youngling to do the next move. Which was giving the turbofox a hug.

And as the ship departed from the planet, Phoenix was happy, while Rodimus was groaning internally at the fact that he still had to share a living space with that damned turbofox.

Although, something that none of them noticed was the mech observing the situation between Rodimus, Phoenix and the DJD. And as his two targets fled, the mech followed them quietly. Watching them leave the planet, before returning to his own ship. Sending a new set of coordinates to the Lost Light, before departing the planet as well. 

And this time, Thrillchaser would make sure that he wouldn’t end up empty handed, the next time he crossed paths with his prey.

supernatural s6e19 mommy dearest (w. adam glass)

well my whole eve/victoria pedretti mind connection (also this afternoon was crying for a good 20 minutes while painting and rewatching the haunting of hill house) this disabling the exit to the bar and then everyone trying to eat each other reminds me of that church scene in midnight mass (was she even in that one? lol) but way less emotionally fraught. and shorter. adds to the list of gif comparatives of various stuff with spn that i may never get around to because making gifs is tedious work i don't particularly enjoy.

i think i'm delighted to hear licensed music because it's so infrequent now and it's a lot more fun than the score 😬

when i was a kid, i helped my dad fill shotgun shells using something like this (primarily for shooting skeet at a range though he also hunted)

anyway. dean is using a literal tablespoon to put the phoenix's ashes in these special shells apparently. fear not, a well used shotgun shell reloader in the back there (lee load-all reloader only $79.99 at cabela's!)

DEAN Why has it always got to be me that makes the call, huh? It's not like Cas lives in my ass. The dude's busy. (Cas appears behind him. Dean turns around, surprised) Cas, get out of my ass!

CAS I was never in your–

wait hold up is this like that weird wording that i talked about before, out of your ass...

okay this must be a wording thing because they had pestilence use the same and i was very perplexed by the phrasing. SHERIFF MILLS I lose my job over this, I am taking it out of your ass! s5e21 DR. GREEN You mean my brothers. What they did to my brothers. No. The only reasonable thing to do here is to…take it out of their healthy young asses!

that's so strange. anyway. woo they can use more gay innuendo jokes because they have a non-brother dude who we're saying/joking/but actually saying has Feelings for dean to be on the receiving end (har har) 😑

LENORE I remember. Your hunter friend almost killed me.

SAM Well if it makes you feel any better, uh, he turned into a vampire and I chopped his head off.

DEAN Yeah. With razor wire. Wicked.

dean's so proud

okay so thank fuck they didn't make sam kill another pretty lady that was a monster. we don't need madison 2.0.

CAS We needed to move this along.

mr funny again

🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

CAS Something in this town, is, uh, it's affecting me. I assume it's Eve.

DEAN So wait, Mom's making you limp?

CAS Figuratively, yes.

DEAN How?

CAS I don't know, but she is.

DEAN Well, that's great, because without your power, you're basically just a baby in a trenchcoat.

SAM I think you hurt his feelings.

don't be an asshole, dean. this is why i called cas a work friend :p

my dad travelled a ton for work when i was a kid so he always had a company car. one of them was a chevy caprice classic like this one, but white.

well the baby in the trench coat decapitated someone. good enough for you, dean?

reflection in the glass just reminding me of how model-pretty jensen's face is

are the kids gonna be monsters and try to eat sam and dean. okay the oldest "kid" has visible stubble and is 24. baby face and short stature and no pesky child actor rules

CAS We need to find Eve now.

DEAN Yeah. Go. Me and Sam just gotta make a milk run.

CAS We need your help here.

DEAN Hold your water. We'll be back in a few.

CAS Dean, Dean. Millions of lives are at stakes here, not just two. Stay focused.

my face at the "stay focused": 😒 like being told to relax

DEAN Are you kidding?

CAS There's a greater purpose here.

DEAN You know what, I-I'm getting a little sick and tired of the greater purposes, okay? I think what I'd like to do now is save a couple of kids. If you don't mind. We'll catch up.

*schmoopy music*

oh the brother mush intensifies! big brother tells little brother he should get some rest and they cuddle up to sleep. and sam looks at dean, dean smiles fondly. sam makes his thinking thoughtful face out the window as he (obviously) thinks about how dean took care of him haha

BOBBY They won't take long.

CAS You don't know that. They may find more wayward orphans along the way.

😂

BOBBY Oh, don't get cute.

CAS Right. Pardon me for highlighting their crippling and dangerous empathetic response with "sarcasm". It was a bad idea – letting them go.

BOBBY Come on. You don't let Sam and Dean Winchester do squat. They do what they gotta. You know that.

haha pissy cas again, a treat. and ain't that the truth, they're gonna do what they want to do, come hell or highwater

oh my god the extended family reunion and the exchanged looks with sam and dean. WE GET IT, GUYS. feeling soft about big brothers taking care of little brothers. saving lives, reuniting families

this is so interesting, in a way, because i had no idea that cas had this darkside situation going on. the thing with the souls, the torturing. i know nothing about his character arc! when i know a lot about sam and dean's

lol so one of the kids was a monster. all gone, the mushy feelings

EVE You look upset. If it makes you feel any better, Ryan was bound to work on you. Little wayward orphan, like yourselves. There's nothing you can do about it now. So let's talk.

samantha smith's voice (eve as mary here) reminds me of someone in hill house. i think elizabeth reaser (played shirley [also esme in twilight])?

this whole thing is a lot. glad dean had some amazing forethought to consume some of the ash to make himself poisonous to her eating him LOLL

cas finally gettin something cool to do

demons *gasp*

so is cas working with crowley? i admit to tuning out a little when eve was talking about the soul battery stealing plan

well i guess that answers that. something weirdly satisfying about crowley scolding cas, what's that about

while i was looking up sam's boots, because i'm a weirdo, this site boldly declared dean winchester smells like some particular fragrance. i thought that was weird to be so specific without a source mentioned and so then i go searching the internet for dean winchester cologne. and ended up some pinterest link that is a youtube video of a con thing with j2 and jackles saying he wears tom ford "wood" (note: it's oud wood, but oud means a type of wood. agarwood wood.) and "it works" and then padalecki asking where he sprays it. i think for my sanity it is best i continue to avoid bts/con related content

like, nothing on the hey i know you front. suddenly started getting exclusively side characters actors i've never seen in anything else

also i guess eve is dead? that was anticlimactic. like a slightly longer than usual monster of the week. i guess we can't be working under the threat of being sent to hell all the time

being in a band means missing out on all the good things you meant to not miss out on by not having a regular job which is why you wanted to be in a band in the first place.

“You Should Try Saying No Once In Awhile”

the show tonight with Gob was amazing. its crazy how much kids know the words. i am doing what i love. thank you. i am truly completely happy with that part of my life and completely unhappy with the rest of my life.

Dear, don’t bother try to make it cute or charming cause you’re not. It’s last call- finish your drink so you don’t feel a thing. “don’t worry, I’m in a better place” or whatever I have to say so you’ll let me in. I got one foot in the door and the other in your bed. “with friends like you who needs friends”. Your sheets have the scent of how convenient it is to have me three thousand miles away.

staying alive is as good as it gets.

if you want to know then ask me otherwise keep your mouth shut. stalk me you couldn't pick a better subject. i like this girl from california alot. me and her are gonna have 10,000 babies. do you want to find a cure and save the world or just fall in love and fuck?

you should try saying no once in awhile.

“I’m Wreckless. This Love Is Mayhem.”

woo. last night in toledo was pretty amazing. its such a shock that kids actually believe in the words we wrote and sing them back. it means so much. Stuhby came out and sang Saturday with us. do you want to take me to Bend It Like Beckham? it’s easy all you have to do is ask. i promise i’ll go. good times had some kids come up and talk to me about soccer at the past couple of shows. pretty much soccer is one of the best things in the world. tommorrow i’m gonna get to see some friends bands, pretty excited about that. to get to just sit in the crowd and relax. for what it’s worth it makes me happy to know you are out there breathing and laughing even if i am not on your mind.

July 31, 2003

“for the record you did hurt my feelings.”

you shut off the light and i am a moth in the dark begging for more.

as much as i wish you would just drop dead- a part of me is happy you are still breathing and laughing even if i am not on your mind.

hey hi hello! what's your ideal fall out boy concert setlist? 👀

thank you for humoring me <3 i put together something incredibly biased and self indulgent. i only truly got into fall out boy maybe 6–8 years ago and i don’t know a ton of their Deep Lore or anything, but here are songs i would loooove to hear live. i’ve seen them twice so far but really i should be seeing them as many times as i can

order is wishy washy bc i don’t know the science of a good setlist. this is one song too long

Thriller: i agree, this would be a great entrance

Novocaine: what can i say. it’s a banger

Hold Me Like a Grudge: we need more fics titled “part time soulmate (full time problem)” you agree. reblog. for some reason i can’t stop saying “hold me like a drug” instead. uh

This Ain’t A Scene: one time this came on the radio and my uber driver changed the station halfway through

The Mighty Fall: i really want to hear “hell yeah i’m a dick girl i’m addicted to you” live

The Last Of The Real Ones: so many good lines in this one. “i wonder if your therapist knows everything about me” and “that ultra kind of love you never walk away from”??? also there’s some superhero shit going on with “i know this whole damn city thinks it needs you but not as much as i do”

The Phoenix: i chronically have trouble understanding what the hell fob is saying so for a long time i thought the lyrics were “i’m gonna change you like a wenis” or some shit and didn’t bother looking it up. sorry

Just One Yesterday: the impact this song had on ace attorney fic writers

Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On a Bad Bet: i LOVE this song

What A Catch, Donnie: but the whole thing!!! keep it as a piano solo

Golden

The Kids Aren’t Alright: i had the chance to see a concert in which they played this but i foolishly didn’t. go. i have regrets

Where Did The Party Go: i’m not gonna go hard alone!!!

HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T: hold me like a grudge vs hold me tight or don’t… fight!!!!

G.I.N.A.S.F.S.: mad that i haven’t seen this live yet. please mr. stump.

Death Valley: why not

I Am My Own Muse: okay i didn’t love this album (inexplicably still listened to it a lot) but whenever i hear this song i imagine someone shredding the guitar and doing that thing that rockstars do where they slide across the stage on their knees. yeah

Dance, Dance: i told my friend to add this to his male manipulator playlist bc of the line “i only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me.” he put it on and was like “i didn’t realize that was a lyric” and added it

I Don’t Care

(Coffee’s For Closers): james this is for you

Church: i liked mania okay. sue me. i would put “expensive mistakes” on here (“i’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker color”) but i don’t think it’s great concert material

Bang The Doldrums

Sugar, We’re Goin Down

Chicago Is So Two Years Ago: obligatory

My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark: i vividly remember when this came out and i listened to this on loop on youtube

Centuries: this reminds me of after school sports practice bc i listened to it on loop okay. let me have this

Thnks fr th Mmrs: i sang this song at karaoke recently and i was looking up the lyrics beforehand and realized i didn’t know like 70% of the lyrics bc of my aforementioned issue with understanding what the hell fob is saying. anyways my friend had to buy me a shot to get me onstage and we bombed the intro. whoops

Saturday: obligatory

anyways obviously the ideal concert is always “the band plays their entire discography in chronological order” but that is physically impossible. thanks again for sending this ask <3

Fairytale or nightmare- Clay Terran x Fem! Reader

Return to File

Recovery date: June 10th, 2020

Description: A sequel to space center date, can be read as a stand-alone, female reader only, taking place after Clay's death.

Notes: Content warning for death.

Word count: 1 328

Back to directory

Y/N stood, anxiously tapping her foot, waiting in the elevator. The floors slowly changed, and she began tapping her foot. She’d rushed over to the space center as soon as she’d heard about the bombing. Now, she was regretting not coming despite the fact it had been Clay who insisted she didn’t come. He’d said something sappy about how saying goodbye would feel like he wasn’t coming back. It had made her scowl and remind him that he had to come back, because they still had a wedding to plan. That and there was no way she was raising a kid alone.

The elevator dinged and she stepped out. Apollo turned around, and as soon as he saw her, he moved towards her. Him and another man, his mentor Phoenix Wright, were blocking something. Phoenix turned around as well and looked like he was about to say something before Apollo spoke up.

“Y/N, what are you doing here?”

Ignoring her brother’s question, she frowned, “Where is he? Polly where is he?”

“I’m sorry, who are you?” Phoenix asked, moving away from whatever was behind him. Y/N gasped and fell to her knees, placing a hand on her abdomen. Apollo rushed forwards to hold her.

“I-I’m- I’m Y/N Terran, Clay’s wife.”

“Oh, I’m sorry for your loss…” Phoenix looked down. “So, I take it you and Apollo are friends?”

“Actually,” Apollo said, rubbing Y/N’s back, “she’s my twin sister.”

---

Y/N sat in the visitation area of the detention center. It wasn’t uncommon to find her here, besides Aura, she was the only one who visited Simon in prison. But this time, she wasn’t here for Simon.

“Y/N?” Starbuck asked as he sat down.

She’s been fiddling with her ring and not watching the other side of the glass. She jumped when he called her name, and looked up with a sad smile.

“Mr. Starbuck, how are you?”

He looked down, “So, you the prosecutor?”

“No,” Y/N said, shaking her head, “I just wanted to see how you were doing. Apollo has banned me from getting anywhere near this case, and my boss assigned someone else before I could even ask. I can’t say I don’t understand why…” Starbuck nodded. “I didn’t fight him on coming to say goodbye because I had an appointment. I was going to surprise him with the ultrasound when he got back.”

“I’m sorry,” Starbuck said, looking down.

“Don’t worry,” she said, standing up, “Apollo will get you a just verdict. Goodbye Mr.Starbuck.”

---

Clay woke up slowly, all he could see was white. It briefly crossed his mind that he was dead, before he heard soft beeping. Carefully, he turned his head to see a heart rate monitor beeping steadily. 

“Good, you’re awake. We were getting worried Mr.Terran, you gave us quite the scare.” He looked towards the door to see a doctor coming in. 

“Where am I? What happened?”

“You’re in a secure hospital because you were stabbed. There is currently an ongoing trial for your murder.”

“My what?!” He sat up suddenly and winced at the pain in his chest and the IV cord that pulled his arm. The doctor looked panicked and rushed over to stop him. “I need to call someone, please.”

“I’m sorry but I can’t let you do that. It could bring danger to not only you, but whoever you call. We don’t know why you were stabbed, and they may try again if they find out you’re alive. You cannot call anyone, or leave this hospital, until the killer is caught.” Clay settled down a bit.

“You don’t understand, my wife- She- I can’t-”

“I’m sorry Mr.Terran. But I have my orders.”

---

“Aura! This isn’t what they’d have wanted,” Y/N said. She was sitting with the other hostages. “I know Simon didn’t killer her, but Athena didn’t do it either! I know how you feel, but taking hostages, and placing blame on whoever won’t solve anything.”

“... Then what do you suggest I do?”

“Find the real killer, that’s all you can do. Please, don’t make this worse for yourself.”

“Worse for myself?” Aura laughed, “When did you get so mature.”

---

Y/N knocked on Edgeworth’s office door. He’d asked her to come see him after the phantom had been caught. Although he hadn’t said why, she was pretty sure it had something to do with Simon coming back. Simon would probably need a recommendation or something despite getting an acquittal. 

“Come in.”

“You asked for me sir?” She stepped in.

He looked up at her. “You have to understand, it was for everyone’s safety. Now that the phantom has been caught, there’s someone here for you. I believe he’s waiting in your office.”

“Uh, who’s here to see me?”

He smiled before waving her off and returning to his work. She frowned as she returned to her office. While waiting for the elevator, she was joined by Simon who had been setting up his office. It was on the same floor as Edgeworth’s as one of the conditions for him being able to work as a prosecutor again.

“Simon,” she smiled at him.

“Terran-dono,” he bowed his head, “I do believe congratulations are in order.”

“Ah, ya. I’m sorry I hadn’t visited in a while, I was busy with work.”

“That’s alright,” the elevator opened and they stepped inside. Simon was going to the first floor, and Y/N was returning to her office. 

“By the way, do you know what’s up with Mr.Edgeworth? He was being really kriptic.”

“Unfortunately I cannot help you Terran-dono. Perhaps it has something to do with…” He didn’t finish his thought, there was no need. Before Y/N could respond, the door opened for her.

“Goodbye Simon,” she waved as she stepped out.

The lights were off when she entered her office. It was how she’d left it, so maybe the person wasn’t there yet. She ran her hand along the wall and flicked on the switch, expecting to find it empty. But it wasn’t. Sitting on her desk, was her husband. One of his arms was in a sling, and he wasn’t wearing his space center jacket, but other than that he looked the same. Well, he did look a little tired too.

“Hey?” He said awkwardly, giving her a small wave. She stood there with wide eyes, trying to figure out what was happening. “Y/N?” He called, stepping towards her. 

He stopped halfway across the room, and it took her a second before she stormed towards him. Clay looked elated, and opened his good arm for a hug. Suddenly, he doubled over and began coughing as Y/N punched him in the gut.

“You asshole!” She yelled, as tears flooded her eyes and she began to sob. “You’re dead, I-I saw your body. There was a trial for your murder… Do you know the shit Starbuck and Athena went through! Do you know what I went through!”

She stopped yelling and fell to the floor, sobbing into her hands. Y/N expected to look up and be alone again. For someone to come into her office and for Mr.Edgeworth force her to take a vacation. This had to be a hallucination, she thought. But then she felt an arm wrap around her, and he was rubbing her back. She buried her face into his neck and kept sobbing.

“I thought I’d have to raise her alone.”

“Her huh?” He started laughing, “We’re having a girl!”

“I’m having a girl,” she started laughing and pulled away, “I don’t know if Polly is gonna let you anywhere near me after the shit you pulled. And you’ve got a lot to explain!”

“Alright, can we go to the couch?”

“No. You’re telling me everything right here, right now. Starting with what happened after the explosion.”

He sighed, “Alright, so the bomb went off and I dragged Mr.Starbuck to-”

Ace Attorney Episode #7: Turnabout Samurai---Last Trial Transcript

This episode has the third part of Turnabout Samurai.

Phoenix: A real superhero fights for justice. They stomp out evil and help those in need. I have my own weapons in my fight for justice: clues, wits, and an uncanny ability to find contradictions.   

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Caption: Turnabout Samurai--Last Trial}

Powers: I just heard that Steel Samurai is gonna be canceled.  

Maya: HUH?! But why?!

Powers: The top brass at the studio. They’ve decided they just don’t wanna do it anymore.  

Maya: But the kids love Steel Samurai! They’re gonna be so sad if the show just gets pulled off the air! 

Powers: I know they will. It’s my fault. 

Phoenix: No, it’s not. You haven’t done anything wrong.

(Powers: Huh?)

Phoenix: The one who killed Jack Hammer is to blame, and I’ll prove who did it.  

Powers: Naugh!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Caption: Defendant | Will Powers}

Judge: This court is hereby in session. 

Edgeworth: The prosecution is ready to begin, Your Honor. 

Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor.

{Caption #1: May 14, 10 AM}

{Caption #2: District Court--Courtroom No. 4}

Judge: You may proceed with your opening statement, Mr. Edgeworth. 

Edgeworth: During our previous session, we discovered that there were indeed others present at the scene on the day of the murder, and today, we shall hear their testimony regarding the surrounding events. During the crime, our witness was holding a meeting in Studio Two’s trailer. Producer Dee Vasquez.

{Caption: Witness | Dee Vasquez}

Phoenix’s thoughts: I’ll wipe that smug look off her face. 

{Caption: Witness Testimony}

Vasquez: It’s true: I had a meeting in Studio Two’s trailer. It began precisely at noon…

{Red text: 12 Noon}

Vasquez: …and ended promptly at four p.m. 

{Red text: 4 PM}

Vasquez: There was a rehearsal to be held an hour later at five, so we headed over to Studio One…

{Red text: 5 PM}

Vasquez: …where the staff discovered Jack Hammer’s body. 

Edgeworth: Let me remind the court that the autopsy estimates the time of death to be 2:30 p.m. 

Vasquez: Yes, right in the middle of our meeting. 

{Caption: Cross-Examination}

Phoenix: According to someone else who attended that meeting, you took a fifteen minute break around 2:30. Can you confirm this?

Vasquez: Yes. 

Phoenix: I’d like you to look at this photo. It was taken mere moments before the incident. And it clearly shows the Studio Two gate and trailer. I interviewed the boy who took this picture. He told me right after it was taken, the Steel Samurai was killed by a villain.   

Judge: What? He was killed?

Phoenix: The man in the Steel Samurai costume was actually the victim Jack Hammer. And he was murdered right outside Studio Two. The evidence I have will bear this out.

Judge: Ehum! Hmm…

Phoenix: I submit this photograph to the court. Around 2:30 p.m., the meeting was suspended. That’s when Hammer arrived, dressed as the Steel Samurai. At that time, anyone present at that meeting could have killed him.

Edgeworth: Objection! Have you forgotten? The staff found Hammer’s body inside Studio One dressed as the Evil Magistrate, his character. 

Phoenix: Huah! Aahn…well, uh, yes. True. But I bet the killer staged a fake crime scene.

Edgeworth: You’d bet, would you?

Cigarette holder: Tap, tap, tap!

Gallery: Huohah!

(Phoenix: Ahuah!)

Vasquez: If I may. Listen, you think I killed Jack, don’t you? If that’s so, I’d like to point out a few contradictions in that narrative. Would you object to that?

Phoenix: No, I would not.

Vasquez: First, let’s discuss the murder weapon: the Steel Samurai’s Samurai Spear. 

Edgeworth: It was found plunged into the victim’s chest. Tell us about it.

Vasquez: Well, it’s heavy and cumbersome. Impossible for a delicate woman such as myself to use it as intended.   

Edgeworth: Perhaps the defense would like to examine it. 

Phoenix: Aahuoh!

Vasquez: Hammer was attacked head-on and stabbed in the chest, which indicates that he was aware of the killer’s presence. They took down an action star with a large weapon. That takes strength, more than the average person possesses. 

Judge: Indeed. The witness would not be capable of that.

{Caption: Objection!}

Phoenix: OBJECTION! Whether Miss Vasquez can wield the spear or not has no bearing on this case. 

Edgeworth: What are you saying? 

Phoenix: I’m saying the Samurai Spear was not the murder weapon. It would be extremely difficult for anyone to kill someone with it…because it had been broken that morning. And stabbing a man straight through layers of a thick costume…that would be impossible.  

{Caption: Objection!}

Edgeworth: OBJECTION! The prosecution requests the defense present evidence to back up this absurd claim.  

Phoenix: Ehuah!

Edgeworth: Well, defense? Can you produce the actual weapon?

Phoenix: Uh, look, I…  

Edgeworth: If you don’t have the evidence, you don’t have anything. That’s how it works in the courtroom. 

Judge: The prosecution does bring up a valid point. Do you have more than conjecture?

Maya: But…look at it. 

Vasquez: You’d be wise to follow the rules of adult society, boy.  

Phoenix: Ehauah…ehumhm…

{Caption: Hold it!}

Cody: HOLD IT!

Gallery: Ahuah!

Cody: You think the most important things are rules?! I’m a kid, and even I know there are way bigger things in life!

Vasquez: You little hellion. You should know to keep your mouth shut. 

Cody: Think about what the Steel Samurai does! He fights evil in the name of justice! 

Oldbag: Ehuah!

Cody: He fights for what’s right! But he really needs us to help him! So let’s do what’s right: defeat the evildoer! He doesn’t kill people; he saves them! And now we gotta save the Steel Samurai!

Maya: Cody…

Judge: Hey! Order, order in the court! Bailiff, remove this unruly rapscallion at once!

Phoenix: Ehumuam…uah!

(Cody: I’ll strike you down as the samurai would, you evildoer!)

Oldbag: Listen, young’uns.

Maya, Phoenix: What is it?

Oldbag: Ssh. Just take this. Here. 

Maya: Awh!

Phoenix: Ahuah! What the?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oldbag: It’s a picture of what happened five years ago. Poor Jack accidentally caused his scene partner to slip and fall to his death. 

Hammer [flashback]: Huh?

Oldbag: What’s worse, a paparazzo caught it all on film. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oldbag: And that vile woman swept it all under the rug somehow. 

Phoenix: You mean Vasquez?

Oldbag: Ever since, she’s been using it to her advantage. Blackmailing that sweet man with a threat to go public. Had him working for peanuts.   

(Cody: Aah! You better let me go right now!)

Maya: Really?!

Oldbag: It’s the truth. He just made an awful mistake.

Phoenix: And it cost him his life.

Oldbag: Please, you’ve gotta make this right. 

Judge: Order, order!

(Cody: You’re gonna be sorry about this!)

Judge: Awuah…now let’s pick up where we left off. So where were we exactly?

Edgeworth: I was requesting the defense produce evidence of this mythical murder weapon. 

{Caption: Objection!}

Phoenix: OBJECTION! I’ll give the prosecution what they want. 

Edgeworth: What do you mean?

Phoenix: I just saw the truth exposed right before my very eyes. And I know what really killed Jack Hammer.  

Maya: Show ‘em, Nick!

Phoenix: At this time, the defense would like to produce new evidence to the court.  

Vasquez: Eum!

Powers: Ehueh!

Judge: Auoh! Please, explain this photograph.

Phoenix: Five years ago, there was a horrific accident at Studio Two. This is a picture taken at that time. 

Judge: Woah! That is quite horrific indeed.   

Edgeworth: Objection! You said you had evidence of the murder weapon, but I see nothing of the sort. 

Phoenix: How’s that possible when you’re looking directly at it? It’s right there!

Edgeworth: Ahum, dear me. 

Phoenix: What would happen if one were to fall off the trailer’s stairs? This photograph shows the grisly truth.  

Judge: So are you telling us that the murderer intentionally pushed the victim onto the fence like this?

Edgeworth: That’s ridiculous! 

Judge: Ehum…

Vasquez: Hm! Very interesting history that you’ve dug up there. But let me ask you: why would I have done this?  

Phoenix: Why?

Vasquez: Yes, why would I want Jack Hammer dead?

Edgeworth: That’s right! Miss Vasquez has no motive. 

Phoenix: Yes, she does, you’ve just gotta turn your thinking around.

Judge: Please elaborate, Mr. Wright.

(Maya: Ahah!)

Phoenix: You covered up this incident, did you not? You hid the evidence. Since then, you used it to blackmail Hammer, forcing him to do your bidding and work for chump change.   

Vasquez: I’m a producer. I use actors and stay under budget. 

Phoenix: You humiliated him. And he wanted you to pay the ultimate price for what you were doing.  

Judge: Wait, hold on one moment. If I understand you, it seems you’re trying to say that it was actually the victim who wanted to murder the witness.      

Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor. You see, we were looking at this case the wrong way.  

Edgeworth: What? How so?

Phoenix: While Will Powers slept that day, Jack Hammer entered his dressing room and stole the Steel Samurai costume. Why would he do this, you ask? To get revenge on Dee Vasquez, who had taken advantage of him for five agonizing years. 

Vasquez [flashback]: Auh! Heah! Mmah! Mm! Mm…auah!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge: So Mr. Wright, you claim this was a case of revenge gone bad? It’s quite an ironic situation you’ve described for the court. The victim died the same way he’d accidentally killed his fellow actor five years ago?   

Phoenix: That’s correct, Your Honor. 

Vasquez: I applaud your creativity. Honestly, I could use someone like you on my writing staff, but it’s just not believable.  

Phoenix: So you deny it?

Vasquez: I killed Jack, dragged his body to Studio One, changed his clothes, and staged a crime scene to frame Will? All during a fifteen minute break. 

Edgeworth: That’s absolute rubbish. First off, moving the body would be impossible. Don’t you remember? The road connecting the two studios was completely blocked at that time…BY THE SEVERED HEAD OF THE FOREST BLIMP!  

Maya: I’m sure he meant “The Forest Imp”.

Phoenix: I’m just gonna let that one slide. 

Judge: Yes, it does seem unlikely, given the timeline of events.  

{Caption: Objection!}

Phoenix: OBJECTION! Actually, it doesn’t contradict the timeline in the least. She just did it in phases.

Judge: Defense, what do you mean?

Phoenix: She hid the body and then returned to the meeting. And once that was over, she loaded him in the van and drove to Studio One. By then, the roadway was no longer blocked.  

Vasquez: You’re smarter than you look, boy. You’ve really figured something out. I’m impressed.

Phoenix: Ehauah! Are you admitting your guilt? That you murdered Jack Hammer, then covered it up?

Vasquez: You’re smart, but you clearly don’t understand what I’m saying.

Phoenix: And what’s that?

Vasquez: You’ve mapped out a way that it could have happened, and according to your story, I can see how it all works out, were it true. 

Phoenix: I’m not saying it could’ve happened; I’m saying it did!

Vasquez: Again, you’re forgetting the rules of the society in which we live. You there. Enlighten him.

Edgeworth: Just as I said earlier, if you don’t have the evidence, you don’t have anything. That’s how this works.   

Vasquez: For an attorney, you’re not good with facts. But you are a very creative storyteller. Perhaps you should write fantasy novels. 

Phoenix: Ehuah!

Vasquez: It’s been entertaining, but it’s over.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge: Does the defense have any other evidence it can produce to back up these claims against the witness?

Maya: Do you?

Phoenix: Eum, aauah!

Vasquez: Then your cross examination is done. Bravo…and farewell.

Phoenix’s thoughts: I’m wracking my brain, but I can’t think of anything to keep her on the stand!

{Caption: Hold it!}

Edgeworth: HOLD IT!  

Phoenix’s thoughts: Edgeworth?

Judge: Do you have something to add, Mr. Edgeworth?

Edgeworth: I request that the witness take the stand and testify once more, Your Honor. 

Vasquez: Ahuah?

Maya: What do you think he’s doing?

Phoenix: Huah…

Edgeworth: There is still more to be discussed. Yes, what transpired after the body was found, for example. If a witness is asked to testify, they can’t refuse. That is another rule we have.

Judge: Very well. Witness, please take the stand.

{Caption: Witness Testimony}

Vasquez: We called the police the instant we found Jack’s body. I then returned to the trailer to fetch my script and went home for the evening. Happy now?

Judge: Well? Does the defense wish to cross examine?

Phoenix: Uah! Uh, yes. 

Phoenix’s thoughts: Where am I supposed to go with that?

Phoenix: So you originally went to Studio One for a rehearsal, is that correct?

Vasquez: Yes. 

Phoenix: Then explain why you left your script back in the trailer.

Vasquez: I was under the impression that we would not be able to rehearse.

Phoenix: And why is that?

Vasquez: Because there had been a murder on the set. Do you not remember?

{Caption: Objection!}

Edgeworth: OBJECTION! 

Vasquez: Uah…oh, ah!

Edgeworth: You claim that you didn’t bring your script because you assumed there would be no rehearsal?! It sounds to me that you had prior knowledge. You knew there would be a corpse waiting there.

Phoenix: Deah!

Gallery: Huah! What? Wooaah!

Judge: Order! Mr. Edgeworth, I do see the merits of your observation. But why are you casting doubt on your own witness?

Maya: I think I know why.

Phoenix: Me too. It’s because he knows the truth. She’s the one who killed Hammer.  

Edgeworth: Your Honor, I have a right to ask whatever questions I deem reasonable. Ms. Vasquez, explain your actions.

Vasquez: It seems the prosecution is in cahoots with the defense. No matter. I had a perfectly valid reason to believe that rehearsal would be canceled that afternoon.  

Phoenix: And what was that?

Vasquez: Hammer. I knew that he had injured himself and therefore would not be able to perform the action scenes.   

Judge: Oh, yes, I see. 

Phoenix: Euam!

Vasquez: Should I take your silence as an admission of defeat?

Edgeworth: Objection!

Judge: Yes? What is it, Mr. Edgeworth? 

Edgeworth: Ehuahah…I hoped to come up with a question; I thought I could buy enough time this way. But I have nothing to ask. 

Judge: DUAGH! Deah…  

Edgeworth: NEVERTHELESS, I STILL OBJECT!

Judge: Your objection is overruled!

Phoenix’s thoughts: Come on, Edgeworth…

Maya: Hey, Nick. If my sister were here with us right now, do you know what she would say? At the moment when things seem the most desperate, that is when we laugh, right?    

Phoenix: Yes. 

Phoenix’s thoughts: When things are desperate, laugh and smile. That smug look is a mask! She’s right on the edge. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vasquez [flashback]: Hammer. I knew that he had injured himself and therefore would not be able to perform the action scenes.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix: Ehuah! Huaeh…

Maya: Auh! Awuah…

{Caption: Objection!}

Phoenix: OBJECTION! 

Vasquez: Euah!

Phoenix: Ms. Vasquez, your testimony does not add up! You said you knew Hammer was injured?!  

Vasquez: Yes, what of it?

Phoenix: An actor was injured, but it was not Jack Hammer. It was the star, Will Powers! 

Vasquez: What are you talking about?

Edgeworth: It’s true; Hammer may have been dragging his foot when he approached you at the trailer that day, but that’s because he was pretending to be Will Powers in the costume.  

Vasquez: No! It can’t be!

Phoenix: And you were not present at that morning’s rehearsal, so you didn’t see the accident take place. How did you know about the ankle?

Vasquez: Auh! Well, I…Sal! Yes. I’d heard it from Sal Manella, the director. 

Phoenix: I know that’s not true. Although he was there, I highly doubt he would forget it was the actor portraying the title character that sustained an injury.

Vasquez: Auah!

Phoenix: The reason you’re confused is that you saw Hammer limping around that day. You thought he’d been hurt. 

Vasquez: Grr…

Phoenix: You weren’t at the rehearsal, so when did you see the victim?     

Edgeworth: Well, clearly…it must have been the moment when he approached Studio Two’s trailer wearing the Steel Samurai costume. 

Phoenix: Yes. A moment that coincides directly with your fifteen minute break. 

Edgeworth: Which in turn coincides directly with the victim’s time of death on the autopsy report! 

Vasquez: Ehueh…ohauh…deum…

Judge: Ouah… 

Phoenix: You were the one who killed Jack Hammer. Isn’t that true?

Powers: Ahuah!

Vasquez: Hmm…yes. I can’t deny it any longer. I killed him; it was my fault. 

Judge: It appears as though you’ve pulled off another miracle in this court, Mr. Wright.  

Edgeworth: I object to that. Will Powers is innocent of this crime. The fact that he should be judged as such…well, that’s no miracle.  

Phoenix: I agree. 

Judge: Very well. I shall at this time hand down the verdict on the defendant Will Powers.

Powers: Huaeugh…

{Caption: Not Guilty}

Judge: Not guilty!

Powers: I don’t know what else to say. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

Phoenix: Auah, we got pretty lucky in there, didn’t we? 

Maya: Yeah, we sure did.

Phoenix: I’m so glad we got it all wrapped up today.

Maya: We might not have gotten such a lucky break tomorrow, eh?

Phoenix: Oh, come on.

Maya: I’m just so happy you’re free, Mr. Powers! 

Powers: I’m truly grateful for your help. 

Maya: Look, there’s Edgeworth. 

Edgeworth: Allow me to offer my congratulations on your victory today.  

Powers: Ahuah? 

Edgeworth: I’m a…big fan. And I never miss an episode. 

Phoenix: I doubt that.

Powers: Hehe, thanks, I appreciate it.

Phoenix: And thank you, Edgeworth. Vasquez would’ve gone free, if you hadn’t intervened back there.

Edgeworth: Listen…seeing you after all these years was unexpected. But…I would have preferred it hadn’t happened. Thanks to you, I am weighed down by unnecessary feelings. Yes, unease and uncertainty.   

Phoenix: That so? Aren’t those feelings necessary?

Edgeworth: Listen, Phoenix…if I see you again, it will be far too soon for me. That is all.

Powers: Do you and him have some kind of history?

Maya: That’s not it! Edgeworth’s just mad because Phoenix beat him twice now!    

Phoenix: Yeah, probably.

Maya: Ahuah! If there’s more to the story, you gotta fill me in! We’re partners, remember? That means you don’t…

Phoenix [narrating]: So the curtain falls on yet another trial.

Phoenix: I just didn’t think they’d actually go through with it.

Edgeworth: Hmph!

Phoenix [narrating]: I feel like this case changed something inside me forever. Who knows? Maybe it was the same for him too. I definitely didn’t know that a few months later, we’d be taking on a case that would go down in legal history.

Phoenix [narrating]: A gunshot rings out in the darkness of this holy night, and an unlikely culprit falls under suspicion. His name is Miles Edgeworth, and the case that would follow digs into all of our shared history, even Maya’s! Just what happened fifteen years ago? There’s only one path to the truth.

Apollo Wright AU

Between Phoenix and Trucy, Apollo gets overstimulated a lot. Some nights he's already on thin ice from school and right before Phoenix goes to work, everything is like nails on a chalkboard. The apartment is so small, there's not much room for escape from the noise.

Phoenix doesn't really know what to do when Apollo suddenly snaps, but he knows punishing him won't do much. He just tells Trucy to keep it down and maybe give Apollo space.

So when they can, there's sleepovers with Uncle Miles. He understands Apollo better and when he's overstimulated, he walks Apollo into the garden and tells him to just sit outside for a moment. Or when Trucy has too much energy, he can send her out with Pess and they run around together until they're exhausted.

If all else fails, Apollo can sit in Miles' office or the guest room and read or play video games while Trucy and Miles are in the other end of the house.

[topguncortez]

I put this in submit on accident but what if when out in public Mrs.Seresin is breastfeeding baby girl and someone does something to make the mrs uncomfortable or insecure and Jake and daggers defend her! Opposites attract world would be awesome! Thank you ❤️

it's all good! Just a reminder to all, my ask box is called "Attention to the talk" (it's a term we use in my unit when they want us to pay attention) Also, tweaking this just a tad so it's when Mrs. Seresin has Eli:)

|| Masterlist || Opposites Attract Masterlist ||

It wasn't every day that Jake got to bring his kids to the hangar, but when he did get the chance, he was all smiles about it. Some members of the dagger squad had just come back from a small mission overseas. Jake had opted to sit this one out, seeing as Eli was only a couple months old. Y/N appreciated having Jake home, but was starting to grow a tad annoyed with him. Jake was kinda lost without Rooster, Bob, Phoenix and Coyote at his disposal.

Jake showed Alex and Ella around the hangar, showing them different parts of the planes, and showing them the maps. Alex was more interested in all of it than Ella was, which wasn't surprising. Y/N and Jake had talked before about how much Alex took after Jake in his interest in flying. It slightly terrified him that one day Alex could grow up to join the military, but also made him proud.

"You look happy," Rooster said, putting his arm around Y/N's shoulders.

"I am, currently child free right now," Y/N smiled and held her arms out, looking as she had no kids attached to them. Bob was holding Eli, and seemed to be catching him up as well, "I'm glad you guys are back. He made me watch Texas football."

"Oh no, you poor thing," Coyote joked and she rolled her eyes.

"Hey! How about we go to the beach. . . a little dog fight football?" Maverick suggested, holding up a football in his hands.

"Beach, Papa Mav!" Ella yelled and ran towards her 'papa'.

"Sounds like that's a yes, huh, Elles?" Maverick said, and picked up the three year old in his arms.

"You okay with that?" Jake asked, putting his arm around his wife, "I could use some sun, looking a pit bale."

"Oh jeez, anymore vitamin D and it all goes to your head," Y/N joked.

"Gotta soak past those hair products first," Bob quipped.

Jake and Y/N met the team down at the beach after they stopped by home to get the kids ready. Since the addition of Eli, it got a bit more challenging to get three Seresin kids ready to go anywhere, but they managed. Alex was six and could kind of get his own stuff together with supervision, and Ella was starting to do the same. Jake could handle the two older kids while Y/N focused on getting the baby ready.

Penny was sitting under an umbrella on the beach, and called Y/N over to sit next to her. She smiled at the older woman, as Alex and Ella engulfed her in a hug.

"Oh hi, babies," Penny smiled, "Amelia! Kids are here!"

"Millie!" Ella yelled as the teen walked out from the Hard Deck, "Momma can we go to the water?"

"Stay with Amelia and Alex, okay?" Y/N said, and Ella nodded with a smile. Y/N greeted Amelia, and then sent the three of them on their way.

"Look at him," Penny cooed, seeing the baby strapped to her chest, "Snug like a bug."

"You should see Jake wearing this thing," Y/N giggled, "He wasn't a fan of it with Alex, I think partially because he was just so little, but he fell in love with it and the wrap around one when we had Ella."

Y/N carefully sat down on the blanket next to Penny, then unstrapped the baby on her chest. Eli let out a soft cry at the loss of warmth from his mother, but was content once he was laid on his back and given a toy. Penny smiled at the two of them, before going back to watch the aviators play.

"What's the point of this?" Y/N said, looking up from her son, "Offense and defense at the same time?"

"No clue," Penny said, "Pete made it up when they came back for the uranium mission. I think they just use it as a chance to take their shirts off."

"I'm not complaining," Y/N giggled and Penny shot her a smirk.

"Hey, you just had that one," Penny laughed.

"Baby department is closed," Y/N said, "Three is enough for us. Ain't that right, Eli." She gently tickled her son's belly, getting a laugh from him.

Penny, Y/N and the kids stayed on the beach for awhile, until the older two were begging for a snack and something to drink. They sat on the deck of the Hard Deck still watching the aviators play and tackle each other in the sand.

Penny had gotten Alex and Ella chicken strips and fries. They both sat at the table outside with Y/N, watching their dad and uncles play. Eli had started to grow fussy, and Y/N knew that it was getting close to feeding time for him. She noticed some eyes drift over to her as Eli let out a loud cry.

“What’s wrong, baby?” Y/N said, listening to his cry, “You’re hungry aren’t you. I got you, baby boy,” Y/N grabbed a blanket from the diaper bag to cover herself. She tried her best to hush Eli while she got herself situated, pulling down the strap of her swim suit, “Shh, Eli, it’s okay.” It was hard to get Eli positioned right to latch with him moving around, but once she did, his cries ceased. She made sure the blanket was covering everything, as she sat back in her chair a bit.

"Do you really have to do that?" A man in a khaki uniform asked her. He had to be fresh out of flight school. He only had a silver bar on his uniform and a singular rack of ribbons.

“What?” Y/N asked softly, looking up at him. 

“That.” He said nodding to her feeding Eli, “It’s weird. They have bathrooms ya know."

“Oh,” Y/N heart fell into her stomach, and she suddenly felt very exposed, even though her chest and feeding son were covered, “I’m sorry, I can leave. Um, Alex, Ella, I'll be right-” Y/N started to gather her diaper bag and push off the couch when Jake and the dagger squad walked up on the deck. 

“What did you say to her?” Jake asked the young aviator who was still looking over at Y/N. 

“It’s okay, Jake,” Y/N said, trying to deescalate the situation. 

“No, what did you say?” Rooster asked. 

“I just asked her to go somewhere else,” The aviator, “Not everyone wants to see that.” 

“That?” Jake, raised his eyebrows and clenched his jaw, “That is completely natural for a woman to do for her child. It’s her body and she is doing what it is designed to do. Nobody else was bothered by it but you, so why the fuck are you trying to sexualize somethig so natural and innocent?” 

“I-I’m not.” 

“Then you’ll be okay if the mother of my son feeds him where she feels comfortable,” Jake said, and walked over to the empty seat next to her. He put his arm around Y/N, trying to make her feel more comfortable. Y/N settled into him, and he placed a kiss on her temple.

"You can leave now," Bob said, and the aviator got up from his spot quickly.

"Wait," Phoenix said, and the aviator stopped in his spot, "What's your name?"

"Lieutenant Correll, Stallion," He said.

"Thought so," Phoenix smirked, "Well, Stallion, you'll report to the hangar at zero five Monday morning. . . bring a toothbrush."

"Multiple, actually," Payback said, "My plane is a little dirty from the last mission."

"Bring a friend too," Coyote said. Lieutenant Correll gulped audibly, "Okay, now fucking leave." He scurried away from them quickly, running into Maverick as he walked down the steps of the deck.

“What did you do?” Maverick asked, walking over to the table full of his aviators.

“Nothing, he can just go fuck off,” Jake mumbled. 

“Jake,” Y/N sighed, “If you guys are uncomfortable with me breastfeeding Eli-” 

“None of us are uncomfortable by it, Y/N,” Rooster said, “It’s like a mom thing to do, ya know.” 

The team agreed and sat down in various chairs around the Seresin family. Y/N smiled at them and then looked down, seeing Eli slowly falling asleep against her chest. When she was done feeding, Phoenix helped her cover herself up, as Jake was burping Eli. Y/N let the daggers take the kids back to the water.

“You didn’t have to do that,” Y/N said, as she finished pumping. 

“Yes I did,” Jake answered, “I’m not going to let anyone make you feel uncomfortable for doing something totally natural. There are so many benefits with breastfeeding, there’s the vitamins, the skin to skin contact, the bonding, the-” 

“Okay, I know,” Y/N said, cutting him off with a smile, “This isn't my first go around with this. But thank you, daddy.” She smirked and Jake rolled his eyes, pulling her in for a kiss.

“It’s my job, mommy.”

May I please ask for hc? Rooster and his pilot are the "dad and mom" of the group. that's it, that's the plot

i'm actually going to kms i typed up a whole response here and then i was almost done but then tumblr wiped out on me and it's gone. hold on . fml. sorry for my rambling i couldn't help it

you're the snack mom, rooster's the dad that carries everyone's bags no matter how heavy they are. on beach days you make sure to have extra aloe vera with you because bob, rooster, and hangman burn as fast as they tan. both of you are the parents that put band-aids on their kids after they scrape their knees on the sidewalk. in this case in particular, you're in the medbay and patching the gang up after missions or rather rough training sessions. you're both therapists, basically. rooster listens to payback rant about cyclone, f1 racing, kuwtk or whatever tv show he's hyperfixating on for the week. he listens to fanboy talk about life back home. you listen to phoenix rant about hangman. you listen to hangman rant about phoenix. but you know that deep down, your kids truly care about each other more than anything. but amidst being busy watching over the gang, you sometimes forgo looking after yourselves. rooster tells you he'll try and keep you in check, and you promise the same. it's an exhausting job, but you wouldn't trade it for the world because you can't put a price on a family like this. sometimes you and rooster have considered adopting everyone...even though you're all adults. it's amazing because you know if things get too hard for anyone, you know there'll always be someone to help carry the weight for you. and when 'mom and dad' get married there's not a single dry eye in the house. you don't know who's crying harder, your husband, or maverick (it's probably rooster, but maverick is a mess too). and when you finally have a kid? rooster's so excited, but terrified of messing up as a father somehow. but you remind him that you guys have pretty much trained for it for years. i mean, there was the whole crew to thank for that.

the piles go from left to right. therefore, pile one is the purple butterfly, pile two is the pink one, and so on and so forth.

these messages are estimated to be in the time frame of today, september 22, 2022 to mid-october of 2022, but if you come across this later and feel the post is for you, then it might be.

take your time to use your intuition to choose the pile that will best resonate with you. lastly, please don't be afraid to say if the message resonated or not. it helps me in determining if my interpretations are correct or not, and i appreciate any sort of feedback - even if it's "bad".

“Wanted” by  Kehlani

“Better Days” by Fash

“Arson” by J.Hope

Cards:

Six of Wands, Death, The Hierophant, Three of Wands, Four of Cups (Rx), Two of Cups

Reading:

for those who chose this pile, the Six of Wands signifies battles being won and incoming successes. the shufflemancy songs also confirm this. maybe you’ve been struggling recently? i keep gritting my teeth, so i get the feeling you’ve putting in so much hard work and holding your tongue in effort to keep pushing yourself to work hard. the next month or so you will start seeing the rewards of your labor. you’ll be like a phoenix rising out of the ashes. i’m reminded of how people smile while looking up at the sun when summer starts. you might be starting school or learning from a teacher/higher figure in some way. someone might even be looking over some of you. 

this reading is supposed to be a confirmation for those who chose it. you’re on the right path. continue to explore your spirituality. start seeking out teachers. talk to your elders. try to connect to your ancestors. you should be joining with someone or something eventually. everything is coming into focus now and into the upcoming month. the final shufflemancy song seems perfect for this reading, so i’ll leave with these words from the artist that feel important for you: 

“if anyone asks me, 

“right, i lit the flame”

now i ask myself, chose what:

do i put out the fire, or burn even brighter?”

Reading:

i see you needing strength this month for those who chose this pile. you may be tested soon in an effort to see where you are. will you stick with your beliefs when you’re questioned? will you continue in your faith even during the hard times? if yes, you will be met with gains in the end. the saying “loyalty comes with reward” comes to mind. you may start feeling out of it during this next month. people may start bad mouthing you; you may lose friends. this is being done to show who should and shouldn’t be around you. with The Empress, you’re coming into your own power and may start diverging paths from those you were once connected to. it’s fitting that “Maniac” plays during this part of the reading because you may start feeling like a weirdo in the circles you frequent, but don’t be afraid to continue being who you are as you blossom into someone new. your guides and higher self are with you. 

it should be noted that the payout of this rough period will not be immediate. this test will take some time. while doing this reading my ears itched a ton, so be ready to do tons of intentional listening. family might be important for some of you during this period. be sure to lean of those who care for you unconditionally and listen to their advice. this applies to living and past family members by the way. the Wheel of Fortune works as a reminder that you and your actions/reactions control your own destiny. the word “faith” feels important. think of this the start of a new part of your life. you might even go through a spiritual awakening as a result of this time period or maybe that’s the point of it. the last point of take away is to LISTEN above all: to family, your own body, your inner child, whoever you believe in, etc. they will be speaking to you often during this time.

“Say My Name (Homecoming Live)” by Beyoncé

“Chaining Day” by J.Cole

Cards:

The Sun, The High Priestess, The Empress, Seven of Coins, Ten of Swords, Ten of Wands, Five of Cups, Page of Cups

Reading:

this pile gives off “that bitch” energy. leo and fifth house energy is also present. you may have these prominences in your chart, possible important  transits, or the upcoming parts of your life are just all about those energies: fun, entertainment, love, children, and other traits. i see happiness entering your life during this time. with The High Priestess and The Empress appearing, i see you aligning more with your inner self and divine feminine. your intuition and mind will be working at full drive, and people might be very attracted to you because of your alignment. this might be you reaping the benefits of working you’ve been putting in. this is a happy time for you, but also be on the lookout. 

with happiness coming in also enters jealousy. similar to pile two, people may talk bad about you or backstab you. the description of the Ten of Swords literally spells out being a “victim of your own success”. in addition to others wanting to pull you down, you may cause your own falling in becoming too arrogant or forgetting to be thankful for what will be given to you. remember that rewards for hard work does not mean to stop working! as last words, please enjoy the happiness that will be entering but be mindful of the sins that can creep in when one forgets to show gratitude. do everything in moderation.

“Tempo” by Lizzo

Cards:

The Sun (Rx), The Fool, Knight of Wands, Nine of Coins, The Hierophant, Page of Coins, King of Coins (Rx), Page of Swords, King of Swords

Reading:

those who chose this pile may be feeling like the happiness they’ve been waiting on may never come. i get the feeling you had an idea you truly believed in this time around. this time was supposed to be different. you swear you were aligned when you began your journey but somewhere along the way things went wrong. now, you feel lost and want to give up. The Fool is present to tell you that new beginnings are always present. i’m sure you’ve done before (and maybe even last time) but it’s time to take a leap of faith. i’m reminded of the saying “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”. this time you take action, stay focused! don’t be afraid to look at things from a different perspective in order to find a new way of coming to the same conclusion. this quote may not make sense now, but when you read this later it will. 

i get the feeling this pile may be creative. maybe you wanted to start commissioning your art or start your own tarot readings. maybe you struggled to gain customers the first time around or didn’t believe you were good enough to pursue that avenue. this reading is to tell you that you are in fact ready. both the Nine of Coins and The Hierophant are urging you to trust that you will be taken care of financially as you pursue your career - especially those thinking about being spiritual teachers! furthermore, Page of Coins literally represents students. to be fair, this could be reversed in that you are the student, but i’m interpreting it as you being the teacher. i believe that beforehand, you were more materialistic and not pure in your intentions. i literally almost typed out attention instead of intentions, so that proves the point but that’s no matter now that you’ve seen that improper intentions will bring about failure. as a final takeaway, your ethics are important in your aspirations. feel free to try again in your endeavors but remember to not fall into the aspirations of the flesh; instead, focus on helping others and becoming the version of yourself you would aspire to be.

Hello love, thank you so much for the request!

Thank you to @mayhem24-7forever for looking this over.

Hangman

-more than anything, Hangman’s love language is physical touch

-as I said in my headcanon about them comforting you Hangman feels best with his skin against yours, and it’s his best way to show you that he loves you

-he might also bring you gifts, on special occasions or when he feels like he’s been working a lot, but most of his love language is having a constant need to touch you

-it’s not needy per say, but he always has a hand on you when you’re in public, holding your hand, waist or the small of your back at all times

-he also loves kissing you, and the variety that holds, because he loves peppering small kisses to your forehead or nose or an intense makeout session, he’s there for all of it

-go figure, Hangman is a fan of PDA

-he definitely likes to show everyone that you belong together but he also likes to see how far his friends’ comfort zones go when he lets himself kiss you harshly or he grabs your butt

-it’s also just teasing his friends while being able to show you off, two things he just loves to do

Phoenix

-Phoenix’s love language is acts of service with a hint of words of affirmation

-she’s really set on doing everything she can for you and taking initiative, be it filling the tank of your car or doing the dishes, she’s there to help you with every little thing she can

-something she also finds incredibly important is telling you she loves you

-she was the first to say it out of the two of you and she likes to remind you of it, she tells you every time either of you leave the house

-she doesn’t have to be around you all the time, but she’s definitely the type to text you randomly to tell you that she misses you

-she likes touching you too but it’s not as a way to try to show you what you mean to her, it’s more because she loves it

-in her mind it’s important to take the little things off your shoulders and to tell you how loved you are

-when it comes to PDA, it definitely depends on her mood, but it can range from not touching you at all to going full out on PDA (that’s rare though, usually only when she lets herself get tipsy during a celebration)

Bob

-oh our dear Bob is the whole package

-I’m not kidding, when Bob has found someone he loves, he goes all in

-the most important thing for Bob though is that you spend enough time together

-it’s important to him to talk to you, he’s not just passive in your life, he needs to know what’s going on and if there’s a way to help you with anything you’re struggling with

-that brings us to the next point, acts of service

-Bob might be a tiny bit old fashioned but he thinks there’s some things that you as his partner don’t have to deal with

-like Phoenix, he tries to do the dirty work, like going to the gas station and cleaning the oven, just doing the uncomfortable things in the household

-he’s not much of a gift giver (except for when it’s an anniversary or birthday or something) but he is keen on touching you, most often not in a sexual way, more to reassure you

-he also does that by telling you he loves you, no matter if other people are present

-when it comes to PDA, you’re the person in the relationship to usually initiate it, he’s too shy to actually kiss or touch you much in public, but he does say he loves you

Summary : the boys’ own way of saying “I love you”, with their own words and ways. Or, how you know he loves you.

? Wait did I do this before? I don’t even know. also these aren’t GREAT, but they aren’t HORRIBLE. Yk? Honestly tho, some of these seem like they’re all over the place, which yes, they might be. UGH IT WAS SO HARD THO.

-

Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy loves you like an adventure. Everything is new and always fun to try with him, and no matter what happens, you don’t ever regret it, because you’re doing it with him.

He’s persistent in staying with you everywhere, he wants to do everything with you. He tends to invite you ( by pulling your hand ) to do crazy things with him and away from the others so you’re alone.

He’s always showing off his skills and stupidity in order to make you laugh, because your smile is the best thing he’s ever seen and giggles are the beautiful sound he treasures.

His actions are genuine when he holds your hand and pulls you to his side all the time, with the warmest, loving grin.

Luffy always makes sure to remind you to never give up hope.

“Let’s go on an adventure together, [Name].”

-

Roronoa Zoro

Zoro loves you like you’re his one and only. No one has priority over you, ( except maybe Luffy ), and you will always be his, if you’ll let him.

Zoro is not a man of many words when it comes to his own emotions and feelings, so he shows it through his actions.

He always has an eye on you, so wherever you are is where he ‘sleeps’ so he can keep you close, his swords at his side to protect you from danger, ( but he knows you can handle yourself. )

Zoro is the perfect person to lend a comforting shoulder and ear. He will listen to every single one of your problems intently and if he can, will offer the best advice you’ll hear, even if it’s a bit harshly. However, whatever got you so down, Zoro will bring you back up.

Zoro is always reminding you that you are strong, no matter how tough things get.

“Oi, come take a nap with me. I could use a body pillow.”

-

Portgas D. Ace

Ace loves you like a gentleman, respecting boundaries, bowing to the elderly you pass by together and always ready to pick you up for your date at seven, bouquet of flowers in hand.

If Ace is good at anything, it’s knowing how to distract you with a good time. He knows the best way to bring a beautiful smile to your lips and can easily make sure to avoid the thoughts that brought you down in the first place.

He’ll share stories that will make you die of laughter or feel so wholesome that you literally melt at how sweet it is.

The few times he expresses and shares his insecurities to you, something he hides within him because he trusts you enough to do so. He loves your understanding and comfort for him.

Ace always reminds you that you’ll be okay, even at the worst times.

“You are the light of my life.”

-

Chief of Staff Sabo

Sabo loves you like a prince. He holds the door for you, takes your hand so you don’t fall, has the most charismatic smile on his face and is just so charming.

Sabo will remember the littlest things, the smallest details that you yourself don’t even know until he reminds you, and because of this, you are often gifted the most memorable and cherishing gifts, like the scarf you two bought for your perfect snowman, to the necklace you were staring a little too longingly at on display.

He’s always busy, but he doesn’t hesitate to drop whatever he has just for you. He will run through fire if it means you’ll stop crying or if you’ll be happy to see him. You are his lifeline, his soul, his love.

He may not know how to properly cheer you up like his brothers can, but he knows that he wants the best for you. If you need space, you got it. You need some tender loving cuddles and buckets of ice cream while watching Disney movies? Vanilla or chocolate ice cream?

Sabo reminds you that you deserve happiness and peace.

“Whenever you need me, I’ll be there.”

-

Trafalgar D. Water Law

Law loves you like you’re his savior, someone who’s always there during his time of need and insecurities, by his side when he needs you most.

He’s a little blunt and straightforward occasionally, but he’s honest somewhat. He won’t ever tell you his feelings until he deems it the right time, but you can tell he has feelings by the change in treatment.

He’ll keep you closer to him, making excuses by saying that he needs you to help him with the supply run, or that he needs your assistance with a particular menial task.

He’s awkward and shy about it at first but he cares and that’s all you need to know. Especially once you catch him during one of his weaker times, the anniversary of a particular someone rolling around, where he’s locked in his room. He needs you beside him, so please don’t leave him when he needs you.

Law reminds you that you are human, that it’s okay to be vulnerable.

“Just stay here with me.”

-

Vinsmoke Sanji

Sanji loves you like a god/goddess. He will treat you with the utmost respect and care and offers you everything you could possibly want or need, just say the word.

His genuine, endless daily compliments are given to you with pure love and passion, his daily refreshments and snacks to keep you energized and hydrated keeps an eye out for your health.

He makes sure you know the true meaning of flattery, chivalry and love, because that is all he can show you.

However, under that chivalrous exterior, is his calmer, understanding loving self, where he shows his true self and when he finally shares this side with you, where he holds his insecurities, it’s the true honor and love you can receive. And it’s even better, when you become the one who loves for him in return during this time.

Sanji reminds you that you deserve to be and are loved.

“You are my world, my everything.”

-

Marco The Phoenix

Marco loves you like a married couple who grew old together, still playing jokes and having fun to life’s fullest, no matter your age.

He’s constantly lecturing you for the smallest things repeatedly, since you always seem to forget. His lectures lack any annoyance or malice though, he’s just kind of done with you sometimes.

Nonetheless, he’s taking care of you more than you think, always the first one there whenever you need help. He’s always prepared for whatever you need so you don’t have to look for it and get worried.

He’s stern at times but he loves you more than you could ever know, often questioning himself whenever he’s beside you. He half-lidded eyes watching you with warmth and admiration because you always look so determined.

Marco always reminds you that you are free. To live life to its fullest and however you wish.

“Let me fly you to the moon.”

-

Donquixote Rosinante

Rosinante loves you like a husband, he treats you like his wife, either you or him welcoming each other home after being gone for so long and greeting each other with a loving kiss each time.

He knows just how tough things can be and as much as he tries to make things right, he knows how bad situations really are and no matter how much he wants to cry or get angry, he always holds a smile, in front of you. To assure you that things will be okay.

He gives the warmest hugs, and knows that, so whenever you’re angry or sad, or just randomly at times, Rosi envelops you into a large hug, waddling you back and forth a few times, you feel instant relief and content, which makes him smile.

His priority will always be you, even if he’s hundreds of thousands miles away, he will find his way back home to you. He surprises you with the littlest gifts; being flowers, jewelry, candles, or more.

Rosi will always remind you to smile, even during the hardest times.

“I will protect you.”

-

Eustass Kid

Kid loves you like a game, it’s unexpected, unpredictable of what will happen and it’s exciting and thrilling. For you both, one wrong move, and the other is gone for good, but perhaps, second chances/rematches are available.

He can be brash and a bit much, but Kid has high respect for anyone who actually makes it onto his crew and can actually tolerate him, you included.

He’s loud and wild but that only makes it part of the fun. With such a short fuse, as long as you play your cards right and pick your moments to bite back, it’s kind of fun knowing how dangerous it can be with a guy like Kid, and he also loves it equally, because your feistiness is attractive.

Being a bad bitch that doesn’t play by the rules is so incredibly attractive and Kid knows how to reward and punish so tread carefully. ;) however, he has his down moments and as annoying he can be, he does appreciate the effort you give if you try to comfort him. He’ll be harsh about it but eventually, he just wants you to be with him in the end.

Kid reminds you to rebel, take risks and enjoy the thrill of getting in dangerous situation every once in a while, breaking a few rules doesn’t hurt anybody. Most of the time.

“Don’t fucking ever leave me.. okay?”

-

Dracule Mihawk

Mihawk loves you like you’re an empress, only the finest and highest quality for you, nothing else can compare.

Mihawk will buy you the most expensive dress that suits you, with an equally expensive matching jewelry to go with. Not to mention the heels, and, tch, how could he forget the roses you require? Despicable.

As much as he loves to show you off, he despises the stares of awe and admiration you receive whenever you go out, so his possessiveness takes over and he has an arm around your waist at all times, successfully showing you’re taken and to back off if they don’t wish to be cut into oblivion.

He trains you to handle yourself, obviously, you should know at least some basic skills. He’s not too hard on you but does push you to keep going until you truly wish to stop. It’s only because he’s worried that one day, he won’t be there and won’t be able to protect you.

Mihawk reminds you that you are a queen/king, a strong person who shall hold your ground and never back down from fear and show your bravery.

“Come here, mi amor.”

-

Red Haired Shanks

Shanks loves you like you’re his future. It’s an unknown journey, but he’s there for the ride and whatever may happen, he’s there staying and won’t be going anywhere, unless it’s with you.

The red head is a goofball, he drinks, parties and messes around but he is an incredible captain and genuine to a fault. So when he expresses kindness, it is purely from his heart and not out of manners.

He is extremely playful and yet when down to business, he is calm, collected, and cool. He knows just what to say in tough situations and great comforting advice, so he’s the one to go to when you’re feeling down. And as laid back as he is, disrespect to those he loves is the one shit he won’t take.

He’ll hold you close and with his signature grin, compliment you and tell you how much he appreciates you and as soon as someone lays a finger on you, his hand is on the hilt of the sword and he waits three seconds for an explanation before he cuts them down. No one messes with his beloved.

Shanks reminds you of loyalty. To always protect and care for those close to you, and keep that built up trust and bond you created with them.

“Trust me. I won’t let go of you.”

-

Charlotte Katakuri

Katakuri loves you like you’re glass, he’s careful, protective, cautious and treats you like you’re fragile, because he’s afraid of hurting you.

He’s larger than most, he’s aware of that, so he always takes the precautions to be aware of his surroundings, especially when you are around. He wants you safe and he will be devastated if he is the cause of your pain.

His large stature is a blessing to you though, because cuddling is so comfortable and comforting, it’s amazing. You can curl up and relax and just be at ease with him, because he’s so protective of you, even from his family members. He often keeps you away from Cracker and Perospero, in the slightest chance that they try to take you away from him.

He’ll be extremely heartbroken if Big Mom doesn’t approve of you, but his love for you is stronger, so he’ll keep it a secret if he has to but eventually, he’ll pray and wish for her blessing, asking the help of his siblings to convince her.

Katakuri reminds you of family, that even friends or crewmates are family and love you all the same.

“I will be here for you.”

-

Captain Koby

Koby loves you like a typical high school crush. He’s all shy and blushy, and evidently embarrassed when the pretty one at school is talking to him, ( that’s you. ).

He’s like the wallflower type, who tries to blend in but somehow, he sticks out in a way that lures you to him, like he’s hit the jackpot.

He is incredibly sweet, and his shyness is so adorable. You can’t help but coo whenever you see his red cheeks and soft smile of care he offers.

Always helps you with everything, will take the blame whenever you get in trouble, takes the suffering and pain when guys try to mess with you, and no matter how tough things get, he’s holding a brave face for you.

Koby reminds you of kindness, treat everyone with care and kindness, and it goes a long way.

“If you fall, I’ll be there to catch you.”

-

16th Division Commander Izo

Izo loves you like you’re a painting, he thinks you are true beauty, inside and out, you are a work of art, a true Mother Nature masterpiece born. One to be admired.

The type to be there. He’ll hold your hair while you vomit, rubbing soothing circles on your back while you cry, painting your nails while you complain about Ace, assure your perfection when you’re feeling insecure.

Best advice giver, holds no judgements at all. He’ll help with anything, because you need him. Romantic advice, friendship, sexual advice ;), he will help you any way he can.

He truly admires you, not because of your beauty, but your strength to be able to cry. Crying doesn’t mean weakness but rather, strength to be able to move forward even in the worst of times.

Izo reminds you that you are beautiful, no matter what anyone thinks or says.

“You are true beauty, my love.”

-

Cavendish Of The White Horse

Cavendish loves you like you’re a princess, and he is your handsome Prince Charming.

Every thing he does it like from a fairytale, if it involved a rather.. bit of a narcissistic Prince Charming. But he means well, because he still treats you like a real princess.

He gives you daily horseback rides, teaching you with his strong arms wrapped around yours and his black fancy hat on top of your head, as you two ride around and share laughs and memories.

And even through his big ego, he still makes sure to compliment you, tell you how proud he is of you and how much he truly admires you for your strong will and determination, because he really does love you. More than you know.

Cavendish reminds you that dreams can come true, sometimes it just takes a leap of faith and effort.

“I will treat you like the princess you are and deserve to be.”
