Hey Aerie! (My phone just wanted to autocorrect your name into capslock?? Funny) Anyways. So I read all your answers to the Angel Neil questions and I am so excited about this au!?!!!! But now I also have questions: who is Kevin's guardian angel? Is it his mom or someone we don't know? And does Aaron have a guardian angel? Or is Andrew doing this job?
Happy Sunday! Ily <3
Hehe. Your phone just: 🗣️🗣️🗣️AERIE!
Also! Me too! <3 I'm so glad y'all are pumped about my writing as well. It makes me feel insane how... Well, Insane I get about my own AUs. Spoilers for Angel Neil below!
Yes. Kayleigh is Kevy's angel. We don't know that yet so don't tell anyone, okay? ;) As opposed to Mary, who was too murderous and was taken from her son... Kayleigh was too 'easy going' I guess. Not on purpose. She just wasn't sure what to do to stop the abuse without killing Tetsuji and losing Kevin forever.
But... She's the one who pulled out that letter explaining that David was Kevin's father for him to find. She's the one who whispered 'Get out. Run. Go. You have to. They'll kill you.' after Riko broke Kevin's hand. She tries really hard to guide Kevin, but doesn't actually interfere- that much.
It's very fucking hard. I mean... She's been dead since Kevin was like... eight. He's almost twenty now. She's thought about appearing to him a dozen times, but was afraid of the consequences. Because being in Kevin's life this way is better than nothing. And she's very proud of her boy.
(Eventually Neil will bump into her and be stupefied. The woman who created exy and Kevin Day spoke to him??? Star struck.)
As for the other's, I honestly haven't given much thought to them. TwT I'm sorry guys. I guess Neil and Kayleigh are the foxes' angels? But yeah, Andrew pretty much watches out for his people and Neil watches out for him. So... :)
Happy Tuesday! (Sorry I'm late. TWT) <333 I love you too!!! <3

the boyz as types of drinks
Tumblr media
this is my take on what kind of drinks the boyz would be sort of half serious / half joking :)
tw: food + alcohol (pls let me know if there is any i missed)
sangyeon: our sangyeon is the leader and oldest member of tbz. i don’t know if anyone remembers that iconic late night vlive where it started off with just hyunjae, changmin, juyeon , sunwoo and jacob and slowly the other members started to show up. but anyways someone asked “5-year old Sangyeon or 50-year old Sangyeon” and hyunjae was like there is no difference -_-. like he’d still call 5 year old sangyeon hyung. which makes me think of sangyeon as ginseng tonic  (im sorry sangyeon ily). its just something i feel only old people drink. 
jacob: jacob’s sweet like too sweet, but i feel like that idea of jacob is slowly changing with “the stealer” and “maverick” (these eras of jacob have a chokehold on me). what i am getting at is that he has a duality. jacob is like a shirley temple. in the sense that there are layers to the drink before you mix it, its visuals are amazing but then you mix it together and the alcohol is the secret to the drink. 
younghoon: what i find so cute about younghoon is his emotions. how he can’t hide them; when they got their first win (i believe) and sangyeon was filming him crying and he was so pouty ;-;. so for younghoon i give him milk. just normal plain white milk for the only reason of the saying “don’t cry over spilt milk”. 
hyunjae: oh hyunjae personally what drink i’d relate hyunjae to is tequila. you’re probably like mido explain why tequila. tequila is a drink you shouldn’t like but you do. you keep wanting to take shots knowing that you’re going to either 1. throw up or 2. pass out. he gives me like the boy you shouldn’t like but you do vibes. i blame his teasing nature ( i simp for hyunjae its not even funny) 
juyeon:  i’ll be honest juyeon is still kind of grey space to me, i don’t want to call him shy because something tells me that he isn’t. what makes me think that he’s not shy and actually slightly chaotic this past years halloween costume ( every photo of juyeon cracked me up). to me a chaotic drink is hot chocolate. always too hot (like juyeon ;) ). or if you don’t ratio it right and its too watery and not enough chocolate but for the most part its pretty good 
kevin:  kevin as bagged milk.  i give kevin bagged milk for his chaotic energy. it flows through him. him twerking during kingdoms field day and the rest of the members just being so so embarrassed, but he doesn’t care. he’s just doing him. bagged milk is like that too its just doing its own thing. 
chanhee: chanhee is always put together even when he’s in casual wear its still put together. i just love everything about chanhee, even his mannerisms compared to the other boys. that video of sunwoo absolutely devoring the chocolate bar then chanhee gently eats a piece from his hand after. so i want to give chanhee iced coffee. just a drink thats a classic and you can’t go wrong with it and the aesthetic around it just screams chanhee
changmin: q as lemonade. sweet and sour is exactly changmin. with thrill ride he perfectly fits the concept, with the smile and everything (he’s just so cool). the sour in changmin comes from when he gets a lil agressive. locking chanhee in a room with him to beat him up after betraying him. locking sunwoo and eric in a room so he could bite them. he has a nice balance of both sweet and sour. 
haknyeon: hak as lime slushies, lime slushies are underrated (like hak). they deserve so much more recognition / praise (like hak). i just want to ramble abt hak (sorry friends) but recently in one of the videos they did to promote maverick they were playing a game and he took out younghoon and eric in one swoop because they were distracted and then felt back and brought them back later on in the game. (he’s so cute)
sunwoo: sunwoo as mocha lattes. sunwoo gives me such a warm feeling, like a mocha he’s still in between like a teenager / adult stage in the same sense that a mocha is like a grownups hot chocolate. sunwoo is a mix of like confident and shy. when he’s rapping im not going to even sugarcoat it he’s hot but that video of him asking jacob how to say “i’ll think about it” in english is so cute. 
eric: our youngest eric! eric is very loud and energetic so for some reason i want to say he’s an energy drink but that’s too obvious so i’ll go with a milkshake. the amount of sugar in a milkshake will 100% send you into sugar rush. milkshakes are sweet (like eric) and still generally kid like (if that makes sense). eric is playful and still loves to mess around which makes him feel so much younger ( im making him sound likes he’s 87 he’s still so young ;-;)

The Boyz reaction to you getting angry at them
anon request: tbz reacting to you getting angry with them, pls 🥺
genre: angst
warnings: slight swearing
a/n: please note that all these reactions are based on my own perspective and opinion! stupid tumblr only allows 10 gifs per post :(
main masterlist
Tumblr media
Sangyeon
having him as a leader of 11 boys, I'm pretty sure he would be the most mature out of everyone even he can be a baby sometimes
“just how long did you think you could hide this from me?” you raised your voice
he would be taken back, looking at you with a speechless and shocked expression
he would try to process what to say next and also the fact that you raised your voice, which is something you almost never do.
I think he would be someone who would be careful around the words he'll say, especially during tensed conversations like this
he would approach the situation maturely, trying to fix the problem as best as possible and in ways were it can be prevented in the future
Jacob
okay first of all, we're taking about the angelic and patience boy here
“I’m fine, stop asking me.” your tone was firm as your shook off the his hand that was on your shoulder
he would be more confused, rather than shocked by your actions. He could sense that you're quite stressed out, he would softly ask you what's going on, being patient and responsive with everything you have to say
when disagreement comes, he would try to approach it in a manner where heated arguments would be avoided at all costs
because you know how sweet and composed this man is
he might leave to give you space if things do become a bit too heated but in the end, he'll try to resolve the matter and the both of you will live happily ever after~
Younghoon
he is a softie
“YOU WHAT?” your eyes almost popping out of it’s sockets
I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up tearing up, crying
because his heart is just full of softness and anything hurting it will just lead to him drowning in his tears
I have a feeling that you'll end up comforting him, even if you're mad at him
but then you can't ever stay mad at him, because you'll sense his presence, looking at you in a distance and when you turn to look at him, his there, looking at you with pouted lips and puppy eyes
but if you're actually mad at him, he'll stay serious, trying to figure out what the problem is
Hyunjae
I think he'll be taken back and quiet at the same time
“Fine! I’m tired of doing this anyways.” you left his dorm. He would be too shocked and confused to stop you from leaving
like Jacob, he'll probably think about the whole situation, trying figure out a way to approach you and the problem
the both of you haven't spoken to each other in a couple of days since what happened as he wouldn't be himself, having his head occupied with what you said and your tone
he'll try to get a hold of you, asking to see if you could meet up
he'll be nervous, since he rarely ever sees you like this and would be scared of messing things up, making it worst
he'll make sure to listen to what you have to say first, before expressing himself
Juyeon
don't be fooled by his cool on-stage image, he's a true softie
apparently he gets upset easily too ??
either way, if he saw that you were angry at him, he might be flustered on why and maybe even a little upset that you are
"I can't even look at you right now." you crossed your arms, looking away from him as he mouth parted, eyes wide from your statement before he raised an eyebrow, scoffing.
the both of you might be in a heated argument before one of you leaves or breaks it, letting space of your own. He'll gather his thoughts, trying to see what he might have done to make you mad.
I see him as someone who would apologizes first because you're someone he truly cherishes and he doesn't want any misunderstandings or miscommunications be the reason of anything that he doesn't want to happen
Kevin
his energy, vibe and aurora.... unmatchable I'm afraid
be in all, he would be quite serious and firm
"Moon Hyungseo, this isn't up for debate." he knows you're upset with him, hearing that you called him by his Korean name which was a name he didn't preferred to be called by.
but then hearing that from you and him knowing that you know that he didn't liked to be called by his Korean name might trigger something in him as he may end up snapping back at you, only instantly regretting after the words left his lips would be extremely logical and rational about everything, trying to get to every bit of detail
he isn't someone who likes to argue but when compensating he would definitely take his time and break down what has happened and what needs to be solved
New
I can definitely get the feels that he might be someone more affected by their partner's emotions, especially when it comes to negative ones like argue
“I’m not being ridiculous, you are!” New would be quite hurt yet frustrated by your words, leading up to an argument where the two of you bumped heads
he would end up leaving the room, wanting some space for himself to cool down because the two of you rather have heated bickering.
I don't think he would apologize first because he believes that if he isn't at fault, he shouldn't need to apologize just to make his partner feel better
maybe after a few days, the two of you will end up using the same space where one of you ends up bringing up the argument, apologizing and trying to come to an agreement
Q
him having two sister will put him in a place where he probably has more experience on handling arguments
"Gosh, I can't believe you and your words." you rolled your eyes
he might be someone who has their feelings control them more than their mind in the moment but afterwards, he'll reflect on what he said
I think he might hold a few grudges here and there but tries to not let it get to him during arguments
he might avoid you for a couple of days, probably forgetting in the middle that the two of you fought, casually thinking to you
Juhaknyeon
I feel like he would be very gentle hearted (???) like even when you're mad at him (???)
he looks like someone who has a lot of patience, like Jacob (don't quote me on that though) especially when it comes to his significant other
"And you weren't planning to tell me after all this time?" he would be very calm upon your irritated voice. He wouldn't raise his voice but talk in a way that you may find annoying (???) because you're the worked up one
but nonetheless, he would hide the fact that he's surprised from you angered tone, trying to express a more mature example of himself in front of you
like Q, I think it would take him a few days for him to talk to you because he wants to give you the space you need, but he'll try slipping in short conversations here and there to see if you've calm down bit
Sunwoo
if you've seen him in variety shows, interviews or games you know how unpredictable he could be at times
like how he could go from mr.handsomewithaveryattractivefaceandjawline to whatthehellisgoinginsidehishead with his sudden screams and yells
so I wouldn't be surprised if he talked back at you when you were mad
"I have every right to be mad at you right now." he would roll his eyes, scoff before responding in a aggressive manner, only to end up in a quarrel
he wouldn't think twice about having to think about his actions as his first thought would be to just argue back
your fights may be more intense out of all the members in my opinion since he holds his pride quite high but in no means is that an insult
avoidance between the two of you may go from a couple of days to even weeks depending on the situation but he'll start to feel guilty for ignoring you rather than talking back at you
Eric
this energy boi
although he may be the youngest, I have a feeling that he might handle this situation a bit better than Sunwoo no offence ily sunwoo
but he might be just a tad more logical and rational than him
"What is with you these days? You've been getting on my nerves." he would be speechless as he looked at you with a shocked expressed, trying to register what you just said in front of him
he'll stutter to find his words, scratching his head in confusion before you start to rage
he might mumble a retort under his breath or just end up arguing face to face, before he pulls himself out of the argument, leaving to get some fresh air
you'll end up avoiding him for a couple of days, leaving him helpless as he tried in every possible way to get your attention to talk to you so don't be surprised if you see agyeo from him
he might hold a few grudges, like Q but ends up apologizing, knowing that your relationship holds so much more over an argument

Not My Gif!
Pairing: Fem!Reader x Spencer Reid
Content Warnings: None just fluff :)
Summary: Spencer makes an Instagram and stumbles across reader’s page.
Word Count: 1,899 words
A/N: This is Season 10 Spencer with Season 13 looks. Also, instead of it being Kate on the team, i put Emily instead because who doesn’t love the season 3-7 team? Also I might make a part 2 depending on how much this blows up. Honestly i’d be happy if i got one like. Anyways.. hope you enjoy!!!
masterlist // part 2 // part 3
It was 8:00 in the morning. Spencer walked in the doors of the bullpen to the bau. He sat his satchel down and began to settle in for a long day of work. It was pretty early so the team wasn’t in yet. Except for Aaron Hotchner who had gotten in an hour prior to Spencer and been in his office ever since. Apparently others had the same ‘get to work early’ mindset as Spencer. Spencer opened a case file but his attention was quickly whipped away due to the sound of the door opening. He sees Penelope Garcia with all her attention focused on her phone. Spencer quirked his eyebrows when she bumped into a fellow coworker and her attention remained on her phone while quickly mumbling a quick “sorry”. As she passed his desk, Spencer decided it would be the great time to speak. 
“Hey, Garcia.” Her feet came to a stop and her head snapped up at him. 
“Boy wonder! I’m so glad you’re here. I really need someone to talk to because if I don’t I’m going to explode!” She sits in the chair across from his desk. 
“Is everything alright?” He leaned back in his chair. 
“No… no everything is not alright. If anything.. everything is all wrong. Very very wrong. I-“ she takes in a deep breath “I was stalking Kevin’s page because the other day I seen him at the mall with another girl. And while I was 56 weeks down in his page, I accidentally liked a picture.” She explained, in a huff. 
“I’m afraid I don’t follow.” Spencer was even more confused now than before she started. 
“I liked a picture that he posted 56 weeks ago!” Her eyes were wide.
“How is that a bad thing?” His lips pouted as he’d never understand social media. 
“Ugh! Reid, you really need to get with the program and get you an Instagram. That means his picture was old and now he knows that I was looking at his page. You understand now?” She asked. 
“Oh. Yeah I understand. It’s bad that he knows you were looking at his page.” He asked as Prentiss, JJ, and Morgan had walked in. 
“Yes. And now I must go into the bat cave and wait for him to call or text me and ask what me lurking on his page was about.” She whined as she stomped her way to her office. 
“What was that about?” Prentiss asked, setting her bags down on her desk. 
“Uhh- rough morning” Spencer shrugged, still not really understanding the whole social media thing. 
“Hey do you guys have an Instagram?” He asked the three. 
“Yeah but I’m barely on it.” Prentiss answered.
“Same here” says Morgan as he takes a seat at his desk. 
“Yeah but I only get on to post the boys and myself sometimes” answers JJ. 
“What about Hotch and Rossi?” He asked.
“Yup! Rossi likes to post about his expensive wine and cigars. Hotch posts Jack every once in a while and a throwback Thursday.” JJ says. 
Spencer’s eyebrows furrowed for what seems to be the 100th time that day. 
“He doesn’t know what that is” Prentiss looks over to JJ.
“It’s something you post like an old picture of yourself every Thursday.” Morgan explains.
“Do you guys do that?” Spencer asked.
“I did last Thursday.” JJ pulls out her phone and opened the app. “This was right after Emily, Penelope, and I caught a guy who was trying to pick up Prentiss by pretending to be an FBI agent a few years ago.” She chuckled showing him a picture. 
Spencer takes her phone in his hand and examines the post. 142 likes. 57 comments. He clicks on her name which takes it to her page. 302 followers. As he scrolls, he sees a picture the team took a while ago and sees a little person profile thing the corner and clicks on it causing other names tagged to each individual team member. Except him. After he examined all of their profiles, he gives JJ back her phone and gets to work like the rest of them. He felt a little left out but he knew it was because of his own decisions and not his team. He liked that they didn’t press him about having a social media because they new he was more old school than anything. And it was ironic because he wastage youngest member of the team with the more old school habits. 
When Spencer got home he decided he wanted the social media app. The idea of being able to share with his friends and only his friends excited him. Being able to post about his favorite things for his friends to see without talking their ears off.
He opened his phone and went to the app store, typing “instagram” into the search bar. He followed the sites instructions as he made his account. Using a snapshot he took of his bookshelf as his profile picture. He sees the option to add the people in his contact list which was only his team, mom, and his mother’s caretaker. But everyone’s profile popped up and he quickly followed each and every one of them. Except for his mom and her caretaker of course. 
Soon enough, he got a follow back from Garcia, Hotch, Rossi, and JJ in that order. Morgan and Prentiss weren’t lying when they said they weren’t on often.
After two weeks, Spencer hasn’t posted anything yet, not knowing what should go on his profile. Morgan and Prentiss ended up following him back and the app ended up adjusting to his interests. Nothing but accounts about interesting facts, books, and doctor who. 
It was Friday night and the team had just got back from a case in Chicago. Spencer opened the door to his apartment and set his satchel down on the couch, exhausted. His mind wonders to get something to eat being that he wonders to get something to eat being that he hasn’t ate since before they caught the unsub. Which was about 5 hours and 7 minutes ago but he still needed to get something into his system. Spencer opened his fridge and sees 3 day old Chinese takeout. He shrugs and pops it into the microwave while looking for a book of his to reread while he eats. After he finishes dinner, he gets on his phone and subconsciously pulls up the app. He clicks onto his explore page to discover something else he likes. While scrolling, he sees a picture of someone reading and clicks on it.

Yourfriend’sig whenever people ask me what to give you for your birthday or Christmas, I always tell them to get you a book or something green and it works every single time. Happy Birthday to my best buddy, @yourinstagram !
View all 84 comments
Spencer smiles and clicks the heart button and bookmarks it to look at later.  He liked the picture. Both the picture and caption reminded him a lot of his own love for books and the color green (hence his apartment). 
Once he got out of the shower, he brushed his teeth. He found himself subconsciously scrolling through his instagram bookmarks to find her post. He doesn’t know what it was but something about the picture brought comfort to him. As he brushed his teeth, he clicked on the post once again.This time, he actually clicked on your account. It was a private account with 186 followers. The bio read:
Y/N... bookworm.
Her profile picture consisted of a black cat surrounded by either a bunch of well taken care of plants or artificial ones. His finger hovered over the blue “follow” button. As he bent down to spit his toothpaste out, his thumb accidentally clicked the follow button. But he didn't realize so until he looked down again to see the “follow” button replaced with “requested”. His heart basically drops out of his ass. He quickly clicks the button again, taking back his follow. 
It was now one in the morning, Spencer laid in bed awake staring at his ceiling. Once again, he clicks onto the app. He scrolled down his timeline and saw a picture Penelope posted of one of her new desk animals with the caption “Got her at a thrift shop! Isn’t she cute??”. He saw that Hotch and JJ liked 45 other people. JJ also commented with two red hearts. Spencer likes the post and keeps scrolling. His thoughts wander to the post about the girl again. He’s never thought about a social media post this much since he’s created an account. He wonders what sparked his interest so much about this one. As he makes his way to the post, clicking on her account. Debating if he should follow her. She’s a total stranger. Do the others follow strangers? There’s no way JJ knows 302 people in real life. He mentally shrugs and presses the follow button. Requested. Again.
He swipes out of her account back onto the post now seeing that she commented on it.
yourinstagram thank you, bubs! ily to the moon n back <3333
It was commented thirty six seconds ago. Meaning she’s currently active. Again, Spencer’s heart sinks and he immediately regrets his decision. Going back and unfollowing her. He doesn’t know what to do with himself. He’s a mess. Over a stranger. But he feels like an idiot. Reacting the way that he did just because he saw that she was online. So he goes and follows her.... again.
After clearing out all of his apps, he turns off his phone and lays down trying to get some sleep before work in a few hours. His thoughts wander to her. What she was like. if she was nice or mean. If she was socially awkward or very outgoing. Before his thoughts could get too far into what she was like, he receives a notification from instagram. He opens his phone and clicks on the notification. His heart began to pound when he saw it.
yourinstagram would like to send you a message! 
He clicks on it.
yourinstagram You’ve followed and unfollowed me about 5 times in the past 3 hours. Is there something I can help you with?
Spencer completely forgot that other people got notifications and now he felt like some kind of creep.
spencerreid I’m sorry. I came across your friend’s Instagram post wishing you a happy birthday and i guess i got curious and wanted to follow you if that makes any sense. 
He felt so dumb. 
yourinstagram and following me once wasn’t enough for some reason???
spencerreid Sorry about that. I’m new to this whole social media thing and don’t follow any strangers. You are the first person I’m following that I don’t know in real life. Again, my apologies for the disturbance. I’ll unfollow you’re account If you’re uncomfortable with me. 
yourinstagram i just hope that you’re not one of my raging exes, someone trying to catfish me, or a psychopath lol.
Spencer smiled.
spencerreid Nope. Just me.
She leaves him one read. Spencer’s smile fades when he doesn’t see any three loading dots. She wasn’t texting him back. As he’s about to exit the app, he sees two notifications. 
yourinstagram has accepted your follow request!
yourinstagram has requested to follow you.
********
I hoped you like this!!! If this blows up,i will do another chapter!

short version | long version | spotify wrapped
short version is the link to what you see here, my helpfully abridged version. long version will lead you to the 381 song, 23 hour and 42 minute supercut playlist which i’ve been slowly cultivating since early january. spotify wrapped will lead you to a mixture of the long and the short version, which is honestly pretty accurate but does not helpfully represent my ear worms of the week.
under the cut is me ranting about music, like usual. enjoy!
i. start a war || klergy if history is dead and gone then how did we get here, my god?
So, back in January I was driving home from work one day and this song came on as I was hitting the roundabout on Hamilton Rd, and I was immediately seized by the notion to write a role reversal wangxian AU. This eventually became the echo, as wide as the equator, which I didn't get around to publishing until March, but I wrote the second scene in the fic where Lan Wangji is thrown into the Burial Mounds that night. ii. ily || surf mesa & emilee i love you, baby and if it's quite all right i need you, baby
If I'm remembering right, this is another song that came on as I was driving home from work one day and immediately sunk it's claws into me. Pretty sure I found it in one of the spotify discovery weekly playlists. It's a little more repetitive than I typically like my earworms, but I just could not get it out of my brain. iii. in the blood || darren korb & ashley barrett home is not where you live but who cares when you're gone
Hades! It is a thing that happened to me. Very grand, had a great time. Played it for like two months straight and still whip it out every once in a while. Great game, 100/10. Highly recommend! iv. think about us || little mix oh, you put your hand on my waist and then you pull me close It's a bop. I love Little Mix's music, and this is the first I've heard of theirs since I found Salute in my Allison Argent phase back in... 2015? Ish? v. kings & queens || ava max and you might think i'm weak without a sword but if i had one, it'd be bigger than yours I cannot for the life of me remember if I just heard this on the radio or if it came to me through some kind of fandom playlist, but either way, it's just peppy enough that it got me through the last leg of winter. vi. real boy || lola blanc i can give you life with just a single whisper show you what the meaning of a heartbeat is
I wrote gonna make you feel, boy on my phone near the end of January all in one sitting. I had literally just woken up and it is one of the horniest things I wrote all damn year. Anyway, I made a couple playlists for Hades and this was on both of them. vii. the search || nf "hey, nate, how's life?" i don't know, it's alright i've been dealin' with some things like every human being and really didn't sleep much last night
This is another one where I'm not 100% sure where I found it, but I am so glad I did. My gut reaction is that it was another of the Discover Weekly mixes, but either way, I listened to this song every day for two to three weeks before I finally ventured out and listened to the whole album. Some really fantastic lyrics. viii. experience -remix- || ludovico einaudi & starkey *instrumental* I have loved this song since I watched the Sense8 finale back in 2016/2017. Despite the fact that the ending scene of the finale was basically a giant orgy, the song gave it such a depth of feeling that I ended up crying. Ever since then, this has been my go-to for background music whenever I'm writing something emotional. One of the Discover Weekly mixes threw me this remix and I immediately fell in love. ix. moonlight densetsu -remix- || patrick moon bird *instrumental*
I experienced this tiktok sometime in early March, and it is actually the motivation that finally made me download the damn app. Something about the vibe to it was just so weird and perfect. It had this dreamy quality to it while also somehow giving me flashbacks to the Happy Mask Salesman in Majora's Mask. Anyway, found the remix and saved it to my 2021 playlist, then a couple months down the line I'd end up heavily associating the song with Taako from The Adventure Zone. x. howl's the wolf || kila the wolf will run 'til rising sun the wolf will guide you in your dreams, run free
I ended up doing a trial of Apple TV for the sole purpose of watching Wolfwalkers when it came out. I loved the movie so much, which wasn't too much of a surprise since I think I've loved every single thing that studio has come out with since I first watched Song of the Sea back in 2016. xi. inferno || hiroyuki sawano though you can't see the sun a new day has begun I technically watched Promare back in 2020, but I ended up rewatching it in spring of this year because it just makes me so incandescently happy. I don't know what it is about it, but every time I watch it I end up getting teary by the end and a lot of it is this song, which just crawled into my ribcage and set up shop there. I'm so glad they added it to spotify. xii. demons || hayley kiroko please, forgive me, i've got demons in my head tryna eat me, tryna feed me lies until I'm dead
I did end up discovering this song long before it tethered itself to me as a Loki song (thanks to the beginning of episode three), which is why it shows up so early on this list. Anyway, I don't care what the lyrics say because I have definitely heard "he's fucking me, i've got demons in my head" literally all year. xiii. voidfish || rachel rose mitchell *instrumental* First things first, spoilers for the end of TAZ Balance if you click on the link that I'm about to link to. ANYWAY, I finally experienced The Adventure Zone this year! I read the first two TAZ comics at the beginning of the year and ended up finding this amazing animatic for a scene near the end of the series, and long story short, the combination of those two things finally ended up getting me past the first arc of the podcast, which is apparently all it took to hook me. Anyway, I have basically listened to Voidfish on repeat since I watched this animatic. The SHIVERS that I got at the line "there's magic in a bard song." God. Fantastic. xiv. will you follow me into the dark || klergy no trying to pretend we know where the story ends
Since I listened to a lot of Klergy in January, spotify ended up suggesting this one to me at some point in late spring and I just love the dreamy, melancholy thing that her voice does. This one hit me straight in my wangxian feels, like most of her songs do. xv. providence || eternal eclipse *instrumental*
There is a 95% chance that I found this song through SOME kind of fanvid, but I really don't remember which one. All I know is that Eternal Eclipse pumps out some absolute bangers and they're on a good portion of my writing playlists. xvi. unicorn wizard || ninja sex party sometimes i wish i was even more awesome than i already am. what would my life be like if i turned this shit up to eleven (out of a possible five)? I made a Taako playlist shortly after I finished The Adventure Zone and then uh, didn't actually publish it anywhere? Apparently? ANYWAY. There are 89 songs on the mix, including that remix of Moonlight Densetsu I was talking about earlier. Incidentally, the next few songs on this list are ALSO on the playlist. xvii. me too || meghan trainor who's that sexy thing I see over there? oh, that's me, standin' in the mirror
The most Taako of songs. I sort of love it. xviii. umbrella || rihanna now that it's raining more than ever know that we'll still have each other you can stand under my umbrella
Also on the Taako playlist. You know. Because of the... umbrella. And everything. Look, I thought it was hilarious. xix. colors flying high || lollia so choose a color to live by your goal, your faith, your virtue give it all be the best cause nothing less will do
I have been attempting to finish Persona 5 Royal since September of 2020. We ended up losing our cat, Mal, on September 20th and since I was playing Persona when it happened it has been REALLY hard to get through it. I am still technically on the last dungeon (third semester) but I've made progress. And yes, I know that I can just not play it, but I do love the game and really would like to know how it ends. xx. progress || the dear hunter with every ounce of passion i speak till my lungs both billow out i'll give you something to hope for. The Magnus Archives ended in March this year and I made the mistake of listening to the final episode on the way to work that day and basically crying in the parking lot before I went in. I spent my morning meeting combing through the tag on tumblr and found this artwork (spoilers obvs) which made a mention of this song in their tags. So obviously I went and listened to the song, then KEPT listening to it until lunchtime, when I wrote til my lungs both billow out on my break. Anyway, this song makes me have emotions. xxi. montero || lil nas x i'm not fazed, only here to sin if eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can Montero dropped at some point in the spring and put Lil Nas X on the map for me in a way that Old Town Road never did. It was great, it was catchy, the music video was genius, and I just love that man. I hope he goes far. xxii. underworld || cypress i've been searching for a home but i'm lost inside my mind, i'm trapped in the underworld
I think this was part of a Hades playlist. Very catchy. xxiii. midas || skott midas, you've got me thinking 'bout the story you've everything you ever wanted but will you ever get to hold me?
A spotify discover weekly discovery! Loved her voice, loved the lyrics. xxiv. tell me || johnny jewel ft saoirse ronan be mine for always
Her voice is just so sweet. Possibly another discover weekly find. As you can tell, I listened to a lot of them this year. xxv. story || nf too early to tell, but at this rate i'm thinkin' this might be a bad day
when listening to his album after finding the search earlier in the year, this one really was the first one that resonated. xxvi. levitating || dua lipa i got you, moonlight, you're my starlight i need you all night, come on, dance with me I still REALLY like Dua Lipa's music. xxvii. -error || niki, kradness 壊れているの? 壊れているよ
This is apparently a vocaloid song? I don't know. Somebody was talking about it on twitter and it just stuck with me. xxviii. runaway || aurora i was dancing in the rain i felt alive, and i can't complain This did catch on to tiktok for awhile, but I've been following Aurora's work for the last few years, so seeing her music really pop up there was an absolute delight. I adore her voice. xxix. follow you || imagine dragons i will follow you way down wherever you may go i'll follow you way down to your deepest low
I love Imagine Dragons. I don't care. Every song I've listened to of theirs has been amazing, and I think they have featured on these lists for the last five years. Pretty sure they sold their souls to consistently put out such bops. xxx. shum || go_a Весняночко, весняночко Де ти зимувала?
This was my first year actually paying attention to Eurovision, and holy hell, this song was AMAZING. I ended up looking through the rest of their work and finding other pieces I loved (which are in the longer version of this playlist) and anyway, I don't know, this song will forever make me think of 2021. xxxi. farewell wanderlust || the amazing devil i promise you i'm not broken i promise you there's more more to come, more to reach for, more to hurl at the door
I will forever be thankful for The Witcher because it led me to Joey Batey. I love him so much, and finding The Amazing Devil was a breakthrough for my whole year. Ruin coming out near the end of it was just as perfect! xxxii. from the edge || fictionjunction, lisa 今君はその刃を 何処へ振り下ろす? We watched Demon Hunter at some point in I think maybe late summer? It exceeded my expectations, which was great, even if it did fall into the same trap that I feel like a lot of animes do. The opening went hard. xxxiii. fire || saint mesa burn the broken road hear drums thunder shake in the smoke Not sure where I found it. 90% sure it was another discover weekly playlist. Love it, though. xxxiv. touch it clean -remix- || dj raulito touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it turn it, leave it, start - format it
I do entirely blame Tiktok for this one. xxxv. the devil you know || x ambassadors it's better to know the devil you know the devil you don't 'cause wherever you go, wherever you go with the devil you know your never alone
I think I discovered this one around the time I was mainlining every single season of Lucifer. I'd forgotten how much I loved X Ambassadors' music. xxxvi. grand escape || radwimps 夏風邪に焦る心が 夏をさらに早送るよ めまぐるしい景色の中 君だけが止まって見えた
Man, Weathering With You was amazing. Maybe not QUITE as amazing as Kimi No Na Wa, but it was really beautiful in its own right. This song actually made me cry in the car a few weeks ago. xxxvii. good 4 u — olivia rodrigo maybe i'm too emotional your apathy is like a wound in salt I really like her music. I don't care how similar it is to Paramore's. xxxviii. the killing kind || marianas trench if madness overtakes us both then nobody would be alone the ghost of us can linger here forever not to disappear
I actually found this song on a Magnus Archives fanvideo. The fanvideo was absolutely amazing! However, because I was watching Loki at the time, I then spent the next six to seven weeks in a feverish haze listening to it on repeat because it had solidified itself in my brain as the song that I thought of when I wrote Sylkius. According to my Spotify Wrapped, it is my most listened to song of 2021, which I listened to a very reasonable 137 times. And that isn't including the times I stopped it halfway through to play it again. xxxix. t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l || willow ft travis barker i knew a boy just like you he's a snake, just like you such a fake, just like you I actually ended up messaging one of my friend's asking if this was the same person who did the music for Ruby and he basically just texted me back with, lol Willow Smith??? And then I googled and realized that Willow was... Willow Smith. They do have very similar styles though, and I love her pipes! xl. devil i know || allie x i could pretend that i'm just praying now but i'm only on my knees
Also from the Lucifer phase. Unsurprisingly. They have a LOT of devil-themed songs in that show. xli. thunderous || stray kids bang bang bang boom man, i'm not sorry, i'm dirty I actually ended up finding out that season three of mo dao zu shi was out because @pingvi dropped this vid and I immediately lost my shit and went to go marathon the five episodes that I'd missed. This song is GREAT to listen to in the car and has bass that goes for days. Also, pingvi's videos are just as amazing as they've always been. xlii. your ex-lover is dead || stars there's one thing i want to say so i'll be brave you were what i wanted, i gave what i gave i'm not sorry i met you i'm not sorry it's over i'm not sorry there's nothing to save
This song has been on and off of my radar for years, largely because Life 2: The Unhappy Ending is still my favorite song in all of existence. This song ended up showing up on my discover weekly right as I was trying to write an Akira/Akechi fic for one of my Dark Month prompts - your ex-lover is dead, which I obviously named after the song, because that's how I roll with titles nowadays. Anyway. Good song. Sad feels. It was perfect. xliii. holly holy || neil diamond call the sun in the dead of the night and the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Watched Midnight Mass in October. May have fallen in love with the show itself and the few Neil Diamond songs that were featured. I loved it so much I ended up writing a Sylkius AU for the show. xliv. the village bride || kevin penkin & emi evans *instrumental*
I also watched Star Wars Visions during I day that I had off from food poisoning. I think this episode was my favorite, and this song followed me for weeks. xlv. money || lisa dun, da, la, la, dun-dun, dun, da-la-la, dun-dun dun, da, la, la, dun-dun, dropping on you Another song that I ended up discovering because @pingvi dropped an amazing fanvid. I cannot get over how they utilize sound and have ranted about it to more than one person. This is also a song that's fantastic to listen to in the car, particularly if you're on the highway and can really crank the bass. xlvi. enemy || imagine dragons i'm searching to behold the stories that are told when my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned Full disclosure: the long version of this playlist has basically the entirety of the Arcane soundtrack on it. Arcane was SO AMAZING. I loved it to pieces. This song is probably my favorite that Imagine Dragons has dropped in years and gives me incredibly intense Wei Wuxian feels. xlvii. dirty little animals || bones uk slide, shake your bones out if you wanna ride throw your head back, make you feel alive the kind of bad that make you feel good, good
Seriously, every song on the Arcane soundtrack is a gem, but this one is my favorite. If I remember right, it's the song that Jinx is listening to as she's tinkering. It just has so much energy. I LOVE it. xlviii. inkpot gods || the amazing devil and what you hear is not silence it's just the trees waiting to hear what next you'll hum and what you see is not the dark it's just the gods upturning ink pots 'cause they know what you'll become
Ruin coming out last month was amazing. I listened to the entire album twice through one Sunday morning after a friend tweeted about it and made me realize that it had finally dropped. Inkpot Gods was my favorite track and has made me cry at least two or three times since I started listening. I love it. I love this band. I love their music. It's so perfect. xlix. eleanor rigby || cody fry all the lonely people where do they all come from?
Tiktok lead me to this fantastic cover of The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby - specifically - this Tiktok - which made me flash back to at least six different anime phases. Anyway, the song is great and I get to sing it to my cat, whose name is Rigby. l. louder than words || tick, tick... boom cast if we don't wake up and shake up the nation we'll eat the dust of the world
Tick, Tick... Boom! did such a resounding number on my heart. This one hit harder than most. What does it take to wake up a generation, indeed.

THE WEDDING POST!!!!!!!
Okay, I have now watched the episode in full like 8 times and it has been absorbed into my bloodstream and I feel stable enough to finally comment on it. For the most part I loved it and it delivered nearly everything that I wanted, even if it was delivered differently than I hoped for/imagined. There were definitely some missed opportunities I thought, but there really was nothing that I outright hated and I was pleasantly surprised for the majority of the episode. Here are some random thoughts as I was watching:
- I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Lip chewing gum is hot as fuck
- I knew I was in for a special episode when Ian showed up in a towel followed shortly by Mickey in a towel. They have been hiding Mickey’s thicc sixpack all season and unveiled it here as wedding gift to the viewers.
- Cam’s line reading of “Mickey” when Liam asked who was going to wear white, sweet baby jesus. Why does it always sound so good coming out of his mouth?
- I love all the brother scenes. Carl clipping his toenails, Ian griping and then Carl wiping them on the floor was hilarious. Although considering it was his room, what does Ian care? But I love that he did. Very anal (no pun intended) big brother vibe there. Liam hightailing it out of the room the second Mickey walked in and headed toward Ian was a mood. The shit this poor boy has seen.
- I also loved everyone asking Ian about his meds, especially Carl. That really got to me for some reason, as did everyone giving the reason that it was going to be a stressful day. Like they weren’t asking to be assholes, they were just concerned and wanted him to have a good day. Little did they know how stressful. I liked that Ian didn’t get made, but you could still sense a tiny bit of annoyance.
- My second notice that this would be a different kind of episode was Mickey asking if Ian took his meds and then touching him gently under the chin and saying “good” in a very, very deep and low voice. Um....holy shit that was beyond sexy to me for some reason. Like I almost felt like I was intruding. The way Ian’s eyes were fixed seemingly on his chest/tattoo and then the way Mickey forced him to look up at him.  Wow. Ahem.
- Ian obviously thought it was sexy as fuck too because he yanked him by the hips and grunted and pulled him in for some more caresses. So yeah, this was a lot different than the “hey what’s up bro?” scenes we had been getting. I mean there wasn’t a tongue kiss, but I appreciated it. I also appreciated that Mickey and Ian had no problem not only seeing each other before the wedding but showering together and messing around too. Poor Carl, he needs to take not of Liam’s reaction. 
- Along these sexy lines, there is no way that anyone should find the violent biting/hitting scenes sexy. Like no way that Ian saying “you gonna make me hit you again?” and manhandling Mickey’s wrists to the ground and saying “you done?” in a softer voice while straddling him and then throwing the gun to Carl and telling him to get the cuffs, was sexy. And it definitely wasn’t sexy that Mickey finally calmed down and looked right into Ian’s eyes and nodded. Like, no way, we shouldn’t be romanticizing that shit. Okay? Ok. Ahem. Ha Ha 😅
- I could not survive Kev’s keg boot camp, but I will take his comment about Depeche Mode-loving Gen Xers” as a personal shout out because I put their song “Somebody” at the very top of my Gallavich playlist. It is the cheesiest, sappiest song known to man and my girlfriends and I would play it on repeat and get weepy in high school. And it fits Ian and Mickey perfectly and even out cheeses that Ed Sheeran song. See Gen X can do more than irony.
- Obviously I loved Mickey’s handcuffed speech, but I wish that there had been a reference to that terrible cursed episode in season 3. Not the rape, but the fact that Terry forced Mickey to marry a woman and that it basically ruined their lives and set Ian and Mickey on a destructive course. Nearly everything that they went through started with that terrible day. It was definitely subtly reference and I definitely think that Ian was thinking of it, but I wish it had been stated more clearly.
- I love that Sandy was wiling to go to jail to get Mickey his wedding. I love that Debbie was possibly willing to marry Mickey to get him his wedding as well. I definitely loved all of the Gallaghers rallying around to help.
- The tie scene was beyond cute and this was the kind of scene we have been waiting for and both Cam and Noel delivered. I love how sincere Mickey was in this episode and how straightforward and reverent this conversation was. The kid conversation, Ian telling Mickey exactly what he wants and Mickey revising his statement in response. It was a perfect statement and this scene was so intimate. I truly didn’t think we would get this before the wedding so I’m thrilled that we did.
- Why does everyone keep referencing the combination of Mickey and Ian’s genes? Do they know where babies come from? Have they read too many Mpregs? 
- I loved the shot of them first arriving and the mention of the chairs. Mickey’s “I like how the gold captures the light” made me giddy. Then the long shot of them sort of taking in their surroundings and the impact of the day. The other shot I liked was them at the alter with a bit of the “deer in the headlights” look. You got me John Wells, you sneaky bastard.
- I loved everything about Kevin this episode even if it is beyond tacky to propose at someone else’s wedding.
- I had to mute the Gay Jesus crows singing “We Shall Overcome” because ugh and cringe, but Ian having a cult at his disposal may come in handy someday. I hope he thanked them and let them glory in his presence for a little bit. I also liked that Carl and Geneva were so familiar with one another. Lol.
- All of Ian’s interactions with his siblings were perfect. I wanted but didn’t get a scene of Ian asking Lip to be best man and also a best man speech (or any speech for that matter) but the “soft motherfucker” scene was adorable and very moving. I love that the only person besides Mickey that we have every seen Ian say ILY to was Lip.  That is pretty appropriate and the kisses were sweet too. I, too, am a soft motherfucker and that swell of music to At Last got me. 
- I liked how nervous Mickey was walking down the aisle, and I was happy that Sandy was there for him. But I sort of felt that him walking down the aisle on someone’s arm was a little too “bride” for me and I think I would have preferred to see him walk down the aisle by himself while grinning and walking his patented BDE Mickey walk. But his solemnity and serious was an unexpected choice and I appreciate them going with it.
- FRANK!!!!  Oh my god that’s where my tears started. I was really hoping for a Frank/Ian scene but his tears will have to do. Wow, I just wish that Ian could have seen them. The utter disdain the two have for one another usually makes me laugh, but it felt wrong to me in this episode, at least from Frank’s side, so I was glad that it seemed that Frank’s emotion got the better of him. I definitely think that the spectre of Monica had something to do with it, but it was there.
- SPEAKING OF MONICA...wahhhhh!  My favorite scene I think. It is no surprise that it comes when Ian is watching Frank and is sitting next to Debbie. I”ve already said this before but Debbie was the perfect person for Ian to talk to about this. I love how Ian still calls Monica “mom” and Debbie still called her Monica. And she was right, Monica would have loved everything about that day. Emma Kinney did a remarkable job in that scene, and she looked beautiful. The chemistry of the actors was palpable and it was just so nice to see. I also loved Ian’s slight laugh as he felt himself tearing up and then his choked voice as he said he should dance with his husband. Waahhh. Followed by Debbie’s sweet, sweet smile and then Ian finding Mickey, who had been dancing adorably and looking around for his boy. Then the way that Ian clung to him and collapsed into him, while the perfect and cheesy song played.  WAHHHHH!!!
- Also can we give it for Debbie yet again. Not only did she miss the ceremony in order to save the day, but she missed Franny walking down the aisle.  That is commitment and sacrifice and we appreciate it!
-I had hoped for personal vows, but I am at least glad that they recited them and didn’t just say “I do.” Once again, Mickey’s earnestness and seriousness surprised and delighted me, 
- I loved Ian grabbing Carl on his walk down the aisle. As I mentioned, every scene of Ian and his siblings was character appropriate and I loved this one too.
- Them having 120 people at the wedding was kind of dumb and ridiculous, but I did appreciate how true to life the variety of outfits was at such an event. From ripped jeans to gold lame dresses LOL. 
- That last scene of them was cute too. The hand holding, the nudity, the TATTOO again and Ian’s hand hovering near it. Mickey caressing and pinching Ian’s arm, their TWO rings, the hideous room and their tired, happy, sleepy voices. Perfection. I don’t love how Terry’s murderous rage is somewhat played for laughs, but I admit that I did kind of chuckle at their expressions when they heard the tires screech and then the last shot of them looking at one another while the jaunty music cut in. It was very, very, very much like a rom-com.
So there was a lot to absolutely love this episode, but there were a few missed opportunities as well.  I mentioned the lack of personal vows/family speeches and lack of any significant Frank/Ian interaction, but other than that the only thing that really bothered me was the lack of any Fiona or Mandy mention. That was actually a huge missed statement and it would have been easy to do. I find it more believable that Fiona would miss the wedding than Mandy, but to not mention either of them was a bad move, IMO. I liked Sandy and the role she played, but she doesn’t make me forget Mandy, show. And the lack of Fiona mention just makes me think JW was being petty toward ER.  But beyond that, THEY ARE MARRIED AND HAPPY AND SUPPORTED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE!!!  HALLELUJAH AND PRAISE GAY JESUS!!!

Nicky: oh, yeah!!!
Nicky: BIRTHDAY BASH
Matt: here we go again

“Tbh I would like to have the 34 *other* Bergy pics on your shortlist, complete with commentary lolol. And then (if you’re still waiting that is) any other Marchy pics with commentary? xD xD” 
here are some more of my favourite marchy pics, complete with my bizarre personal commentary, for anon! the 34 bergy pics can be found here also!
Note: a few people have said they like these posts, so i’m up for taking people’s requests if there’s a particular player they’d like to see! inbox is always open (and anon is on) so just drop me your request and i’ll get working on it :)
Tumblr media
okay so this is some absolutely premium cute marchy!! the smile that manages to be completely self-confident yet in no way cocky? the polite little wave as he surveys his audience who, if i recall correctly, were booing him heavily?? oh i do love you mr rat. marchy is fantastic and i have so much respect for the way he deals with his reputation across the league and the excessive amount of shit he gets.he knows what people think of him yet doesn’t seem to let it get to him. i have so much love for him.
Tumblr media
KATRINA IS LEGENDARY. before moving on to the part of the image that gave me whiplash when i first saw it, we’re back to talking about brad’s smile. i think i said it in my last post but he really is one of those people who smiles with their whole face - even if you just saw his eyes in this photo you can immediately tell that he’s got that little grin on his face and that’s adorable tbh. now onto the d*lf mug (censored bc i fear the dodgy underground porn blogs these days)… i don’t even know where to start. i feel like he very proudly bought it for himself. and it’s like the only mug he ever wants to drink out of. just my take. i also think the longer hair really suits marchy ngl
Tumblr media
ahhh the boys and their dirtbag christmas suits 💛 highlights of this image are the suit jacket that is definitely just one size too small for this absolute man rocket, and the pants with “FRAGILE” plastered all over them - very relatable if not at all festive.
Tumblr media
gay rights are stored in the rat!!! i’m glad marchy has been pretty open about his support of LGBT stuff, particularly within hockey. also i feel like some of the stuff he’s said in interviews or social media (esp re: lickgate) manages, even if not intentionally, to be quite diminutive towards implicit homophobia or ‘toxic masculinity’ within hockey. okay maybe that that was poorly expressed but basically he just doesn’t give a shit and appears very open and accepting and i think that’s super nice. this picture also makes for a good reaction image when someone says something dumb
Tumblr media
short kings love.jpeg !! a wonderful example of the love that brad shows his teammates on a regular basis, despite his constant chirping. i have no real opinions on torey krug (no h8, i just don’t think i’ve seen that much of him off ice so idk) but him and marchy are quite the duo tbh, i live for their back and forths on twitter - more on that later - and they seem to love each other an awful lot, it’s v cute :^)
Tumblr media
that’s my pest™. honestly i think lickgate is one of the best scandals in recent hockey history. when looking for a good image of this is saw an article where some dipshit reporter was outraged about it and was like “how would you feel if someone just came up and liked you?” i mean what if someone just came up and started punching you or hip-checked you into the wall????? hockey is a nasty game a lot of the time, and instead of giving people concussions or broken bones (not that he hasn’t in the past ik…) marchy managed to make opposing teams just as angry, if not moreso, just by licking players. i think it’s fucking hilarious. and most of them took it well in hindsight anyway - i think it was komarov who said he kinda liked it lmaoooooo. peak bradley kevin antics if you  ask me
Tumblr media
every pic from the china trip has such a special place in my heart. this is just an all-round adorable photo and brad is looking gorgeous in the sunlight and his backwards cap
Tumblr media
brad waving the towel in surrender is just about the funniest thing i’ve ever seen someone do in the penalty box… i can’t believe they gave him a 10 minute misconduct for it, something i think they’d wouldn’t have done if it had have been someone else. at least someone in this league has a goddamn sense of humour. the penalty minutes stat in the corner just makes this even better
Tumblr media
brad, once again, showing us how we should deal with people talking shit about us - just get on board with it. i love how much he’s just embraced his massive nose and his height and his general reputation. idk if it’s really deliberate but i think it’s such a good message to send, and it makes for some pretty funny stuff too.
Tumblr media
brad single-handedly keeps nhl refs in a job. in my bruins drinking game™ you have to take a shot every time the ref has to physically restrain marchy (2 if it’s because he was going to get revenge or fend for bergy) and you could get fucked off that alone during some games. it was nice to see him not actually get suspended this year, but i will always love that he’s such a physical player and quite the pest on the ice :))
Tumblr media
me: *slaps helmet of brad marchand* this bad boy can fit so much personality.
really though, can you believe he’s managed to squeeze more charisma into only 5 feet and 9 inches than 85% of the league combined… very cute picture, and always lovely to see him by bergy’s side on the ice where he belongs
Tumblr media
oh my goddddddd how fucking cute is this though!!!! the hat! the dad energy those jeans and the boots give off!!! his face!! his little daughter!!!!! i can’t take it, my heart is going to burst.
Tumblr media
(gif via @kureally) this is also just so cute, i need a minute. brad has some very powerful eyebrows and this gif displays them wonderfully. this section of behind the b was also pretty sweet all round, and i agree with pasta that the hair is looking pretty first class
Tumblr media
(gif via @murlin09) i am not like into marchy (no tea no shade if u are though), but this gif… whew. i’ll let you come to your own conclusions on this one, gang
Tumblr media
i was not lying when i said more on the brad-torey social media antics earlier. there are some truly iconic chirps (the zamboni one is lethal), but this self-roast just kills me every time. i never once thought i’d read a tweet from the official brad marchand twitter account that opened with “hey shorty” but here we are. “my nose wouldn’t fit” i astral projected the first time i read that. and if you’re wondering what torey said to prompt this, it was simply “hey marchy”. it doesn’t take much for brad to light on you, huh? we better watch our backs
Tumblr media
definitely a favourite marcheron pic right here - the pucks and paddles (i still think that’s a questionable name but maybe that’s a me issue) content is always top notch. if you can find the video, it’s even better, but this picture captures the general energy of the video perfectly. the only thing missing is that brad’s feet aren’t actually on the floor because the height difference is so pronounced that bergy has to lift him. beautiful
Tumblr media
return of the cute brad smile!! a cute yet mischievous little grin, i can only assume he’s restraining himself from laughing at m*tthews fivehead (although who is he to talk with that schnozz. at least he rocks it tbf 👃🏻). not sure blue is really his colour but he’s going for it anyway. that’s my all star!
Tumblr media
it’s been days since this photo first surfaced and i haven’t stopped palpitating. the cutest photo ever, they all look so happy and i love that!!! also how are their wives so beautiful….!? oh my every pixel of this image is just stunning
Tumblr media
i know i included this in my last bergy list but if they can name new york twice i think i can put this on 2 lists, because lord knows it’s even more iconic. i feel like this is a good metaphor for brad marchand: getting up to no good, although still relatively harmless, all the while supported by the considerably more sensible, yet still entertaining, patrice bergeron. additionally, another excellent display of the oft-overlooked fact that this man is built like a motherfucking tank. holy shit
Tumblr media
i wish i could see these boys in suits without my brain immediately trying to think of some sort of au. anyway, i really like this look on brad (unpopular opinion - i love his loud checkered suits as a concept but i don’t think they look good). although he has dark hair, strong eyebrows, and dark facial hai, the all black actually looks really good on him. coffee in hand really adding to the look too - well done, brad “fashionista” marchand.
Tumblr media
ahhhhh i love nothing more than family man marchy 💛 his daughter is adorable - those tiny jerseys kill me - and i love that his son is wearing the all-star jersey omg how cute (he is definitely going to end up taller than brad lmao)
Tumblr media
sometimes i forget that brad is short and then i see photos like this (brandon is 6′5 for reference)…amazing. i relate to the lady on the left on a spiritual level. brad’s face is a mood and a half. his feet are half a foot of the ice at least. i adore this photo.
Tumblr media
(gif via @brandoncarlo) absolutely one of my fav things about watching bruins games is how brad and patrice will always find each other during a celly - nothing beats the 100 hug. this is also just a very satisfying skating gif that i love.
Tumblr media
last but very very very far from least is this. there is literally no need for me to make any comment on this so i’m just going to leave it and go. bradley kevin marchand you are iconic and ily
ayyy this was super fun to do, thank you for requesting it anon, i hope you like!! again, i’m absolutely up for taking requests for more of these lists so hmu if you have ideas :)

The King’s Men, Chapter 7 – In Case Of Zombie Apocalypse, Grab Your Racquets And Run
In which the saga of Gays On Rooftops continues, everyone is too sassy to handle, I cry at some beautiful Andrew/Renee normalcy, and Andreil are Andreil.
Sounds good? Then it’s time for Nicki to read The King’s Men.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, I had always heard of The Rooftop Scene™ from fandom, but oh, had I been a fool to assume there was just one of them.
Lads, we’re back to being in high places we shouldn’t be, and we’re in for a fun time.
             “Give me one good reason to not push you off the side.”
             Neil shook a cigarette stick out and lit it. “I’d drag you down with me. It’s a long way down.”
Two sentences into this conversation, and Neil is already being a sassy little shit.
Now this is the content I signed up for.
             “I hate you. (…) Ninety percent of the time the very sight of you makes me want to commit murder. I think about carving the skin from your body and hanging it out as a warning to every other fool who thinks he can stand in my way.”
             “What about the other ten?” Neil asked.
Perceptive little dude, look at you! Actually noticing stuff Andrew says, I’m so proud.
Also, I’m hoping this was a rhetorical question, because if not I may take my “perceptive” back.
             “I warned you not to put a leash on me.”
             “I didn’t,” Neil said. “You put that leash on yourself when you told me to stay no matter what. Don’t be mad at me just because I was smart enough to pick up the other end of it.”
I want it to please be known that I am resisting about 20 kinky leash jokes right now.
Thankfully, Andrew waltzes on with the conversation before I can utter any.
Good boy.
             “I don’t think it was the money (…) why they chased you so long. I imagine at some point they realized it was far more important to hurt you than to recoup anything they’d lost.”
             “So you stay, but you still won’t hit me.”
Neil has become being such a sassy shit to Andrew, I can’t even tell you how much I’m loving this.
Homeboy takes no shit from no one anymore.
             Despite Andrew’s unfriendly words, his expression and tone were calm. He said these things like they meant nothing to him. Neil didn’t know if it was a mask or the truth. Was Andrew hiding that rage from Neil or from himself? Maybe the monster was buried until Neil crossed another unforgiveable line.
And of course, Neil being Neil, he instantly searches for that line exactly.
Tumblr media
Neil and Andrew, pretty much.
             “Good,” Neil said at length. (…) “I want to see you lose control.”
Damn right you do, honey.
Tumblr media
             Neil feigned confusion as he got to his feet. “Am I bothering you?”
             “Beyond the telling.”
             “Interesting,” Neil said. “Last week you said nothing gets under your skin.”
OOOHHHHHHHHHH.
Tumblr media
Neil, my boy my dude my homie, you are on FIRE today.
Neil mic-drops out of the conversation and gets off the roof – only to be immediately thrown to the ground by the angrier, more vocal version of Andrew.
After several people are needed to wrestle Aaron and Neil free from each other, we find out what exactly has our second favourite twin’s orange boxers in a twist:
             “Katelyn’s refusing to see me or talk to me until Andrew and I get counselling.”
DAMN, GIRL.
I knew Katelyn was badass, but this has just propelled her to the very top of the Takes No Shit Charts.
KATELYN YOU WONDERFUL TOUGH HEADSTRONG ORANGE SUNSHINE, LET ME LOVE YOU.
             Nicky’s jaw dropped, but it sounded more admiring than anything. “Damn, Neil.”
Same, Nicks.
             Aaron shot him a livid look. “Don’t you dare take his side.”
             “Why not?” Nicky asked. “It’s not like you ever let me take yours.”
Shots have been fired, tea has been spilled, Aaron has been thoroughly shut up.
What is up with this team and sassy remarks today, you guys. Wonderful.
Neil reunited with Dan’s crowd, who immediately begin questioning the previous violent (and also German) exchange, as any sane person would do.
             “What the hell is going on?”
             “I’m doing what you asked me to do,” Neil said. “I’m fixing them. (…) If a bone isn’t healing straight, you have no choice but to break it. They’ll be fine.”
Neil has been taking metaphor style notes from Andrew, apparently.
             Matt leaned against the doorframe and arched a brow at Neil. “That’s not exactly reassuring. From you ‘fine’ could mean anything from ‘I’m going to hitchhike across the state’ to ‘I’m beaten to a bloody pulp but I can still hold a racquet’.”
Damn, Matt.
Tumblr media
This squad is not messing around today.
Matt, Dan and Allison play a fun goodnight game of Getting Drunk Off Their Asses, and while Neil and Renee clean up the mess afterwards, they have a lil talk about y’know, boys.
             “Thank you,” she said, “for reaching him when I couldn’t.”
This just in: I still love Renee, thank you for asking.
Renee confirms what we kind of knew already: When Andrew started watching Kevin and the monsters’ backs, Renee was tasked with watching those of the rest. She even offered to take Neil when he arrived, bless her heart. But of course, we know how quickly Andrew snatched Neil’s dramatic ass up into his crew.
             “That being said, I tried taking you off his hands at one point.” When Neil looked at her in surprise, Renee affected an innocent look that for once was not entirely convincing. “Andrew refused on the grounds he wouldn’t wish you on anyone except a mortician.”
             “Drama queen,” Neil muttered.
First off – lmao @ Andrew for being the drama queen we treasure him for, and lmao @ Neil for finally commenting on it.
But second – how am I to interpret that not-convincing innocent look? Did she just wanna protect Neil from Andrew and now feels about it, for not trusting her friend enough? Or does she know about Andrew’s, ahem, possible ulterior motives?
I’m betting on the latter. As if Andrew doesn’t talk to her about his crushes during their BFF sleepovers. As if.
In order to avoid his teammates’ bad spirit about, well, everything at the moment, when it comes to warm-up on the court the next day, Neil – surprise! – joins Renee and Andrew on their jog.
A lil wholesome conversation will go a long way, folks, even if that long way just goes around the Court walls.
And what does my favourite Brotp in this universe do on their mighty distinguished Break Walks?
They discusss hypothetical WWIII scenarios.
LOVELY.
Seriously, I love this. This is exactly the kind of wholesome normal best-friends-havin-a-chat content I signed up for, and I can’t believe my poor heart is finally getting what it deserves.
Neil is equally delighted by the Goalie BFFs’ choice of debate subject, and his thirsty ass is immediately back the next day.
And it gets better – today, it’s zombie apocalypses.
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSES.
             Surviving on the run was Neil’s forte, and it was interesting to see how his priorities compared with theirs. Renee stressed the importance of collecting survivors, which Andrew shot down immediately.
Because of course she did, because of course he did.
I LOVE THIS.
Every single thing about this is gold and I want a billion fanarts.
             Neil wondered what he would do if an invasion really happened. (…) Chances were it’d be instinctive to abandon all of them if the undead put in a ravenous appearance. It wasn’t exactly an uplifting realization, but Neil could accept the ugly truths about himself.
This, this is so important to me. Neil isn’t magically over his entire upbringing now that he’s got friends, he’ll maybe always have these instincts his mother put in him, but he’s coming to accept this about himself. He’s being open and honest with himself, even if it means addressing bad emotions and bad truths and really man have I mentioned I love Neil Josten recently.
In other news: Renee is apparently texting buddies with Jean now!
And I’m p sure they allowed outside contact with the Foxy Orange Scum beneath their Holy Feathery Feet, so Jean is probably breaking a billion laws (and maybe risking a few fingers) sending memes to Renee, so props to you, my man. You have my approval to be engaging in contact with my fave sweetheart.
Tumblr media
Neil is equally on board with this.
             “I’m hoping she can weaking his blind loyalty.” Neil thought about it a moment longer, then said, “Maybe that’s why Matt stopped betting on the two of you?”
This is either Neil being the oblivious fuck that we know and treasure, or Neil poking the bear.
Either way, good shit right there if I do say so myself.
To close this chapter off – we’re in for another Prime Andreil Deep Talk. This time featuring: Money!
             “It isn’t charity,” Neil said. “It’s revenge. It wasn’t my money in the first place, remember? I told you my father skimmed it from the Moriyamas. If you take some for your car, you’re making Riko fix what his fans destroyed.”
Can your stolen money also fix Riko’s attitude, asking for a friend.
             “Revenge is a motivator only for the weak-willed,” Andrew said.
             “If you believed that you wouldn’t be planning on how to kill Proust.”
OHHHH burn. Did I mention I’m here for Neil Take No Shit Josten lately?
Also yikes. Almost forgot about that guy.
I’m intrigued to see whether he actually appears in this book.
Andrew retaliates this comment by blowing a fuckton of smoke in Neil’s face, which Neil retaliates by breaking Andrew’s cigarette.
Actual fucking children, I tell you.
             “You bought the last car with someone’s death. You can buy this one with someone’s life – my life. That money was going to buy my next name when I ran away from here. Thanks to you I don’t need it anymore.”
Yeah, hi, if anyone needs me I’ll be subtly crying in a corner.
             “Make a new deal with me. (…) What would you give me?” Neil asked.
             “Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to.”
             Neil frowned at him, lost, but Andrew didn’t waste his breath explaining.
Ah yes, and here we are back again with Neil being an oblivious idiot. Jeez, boi.
Ily, but use ya brain.
Mirculously, Neil does, but quite differently than I expected him to – he convinces Andrew to give up cracker dust.
Nice, I guess. One addiction less. Kind of anticlimactic, though.
Next!
             Andrew thought it over a minute, then flicked his cigarette at Neil. It singed the material where it bounced off his shirt. (…)
             “I’m going to take your temper tantrum as a yes,” Neil said.
The sass does not stop, you guys.
Wonderful.
If you like what I do here and you want me to continue writing fun things for you, why not buy me a coffee? Every lil bit helps, getting me through uni and all that jazz. Thanks so much!

Can you do a riverdale Hogwarts au when Jughead, Archie and Betty meet on the Hogwarts express and Jughead is completely little kid crush, heart eyes over Betty! And then fast track to like fifth year (cause they're sophomores) and they're already dating and Juggie confesses to Betty that that was when he first fell in love with her and FLUFF. Please omg I need this!! Thanks ily
Aww thank you ;) This is so sweet I hope you like it and hope it isn’t cheesy :)
She looked like how you would expect a fairy princess to look: wide, clear green eyes framed in long lashes, narrow face, small, pink mouth with a pretty, gap tooth smile. Her lemon yellow hair was done in two neat braids, tied with pink elastics, little flyaways held done by glittery clips. She stood tall, skinny the way eleven year olds were, dressed in a soft cardigan and jeans. The girl, despite her muggle-looking clothes, seemed right at home on the Hogwarts Express. There was a magic, a spark about her that withstood any outside influences. She was truly magical.  
Jughead Jones had never been a very good judge as to who was pretty and who was not, but even he could tell that the girl he had ran smack into was beautiful.
He took a step back, straightening his beanie, eyes wide. Jughead felt himself blushing over his stumble, his tongue suddenly stationary. Other young wizards and witches watched them from inside the compartments, only adding to his embarrassment.
The girl, on the other hand, didn’t seem so stunned.
“Oh,” she said, her voice light and merry, like Christmas bells. Her own eyes were even wider. “Oh, sorry. I should look where I’m going.”
Jughead tried to stammer out a response, but was met with the same uncooperative vocal cords.
Archie Andrews, his best friend, snorted unhelpfully behind him. Stepping around Jughead, he extended his hand to the girl, confident smile in place. Jughead felt even smaller than before.
“That’s okay,” Archie replied. “I’m Archie. Archie Andrews.”
“Elizabeth Cooper,” the girl said, unnecessarily smoothing her clothes. She peered over Archie’s shoulder, meeting Jughead’s eyes and smiling. It felt like a gift, that smile. “But you can call me Betty,” she continued, still looking at Jughead.
“Erm,” Jughead cleared his throat, regaining his normal brain functions. “I’m-I’m Jughead Jones. The third,” he added, before immediately regretting it.
“Cooper?” Archie asked curiously. “Like Alice and Hal Cooper? From the Daily Prophet?”
Betty nodded, suddenly seeming a little on edge at the mention of her parents.
“Yeah,” she said. “And Andrews like Mary Andrews? She’s defended my parents more than once in front of the Wizard Council. Some of their news stories…” She trailed off, shaking her head.
There was a tight, uncomfortable silence. Jughead knew they wouldn’t mention his family: his father, Forsythe, was an ex-death eater. He could feel Betty’s green eyes on his face. He could feel their pity. Why had he told her his last name? She probably didn’t even want to talk to him anymore.
Jughead waited for what seemed like eternity for her to get away as quickly as possible, but instead he felt only her hand gently starting to pull him along.
“Come on,” she said. “I barely know anyone else here. My mother, you see, believes in isolation. But she’s not here right now. So let’s sit together.” Betty cast a look at the two boys, eyes wide, looking suddenly afraid. “Unless you have other friends. I can sit with different people, it’s okay.”
Jughead squared his shoulders, finally feeling his usual confidence - some might even say swagger - return to him.
“No,” he said, grinning. “We like you.”
Betty’s eyes shone. Jughead may have compared them to emeralds, but the crystals, in his mind, were too cold, too lifeless. Her eyes were much more like the sea, constantly changing, constantly moving, alive and restless and beautiful.
He wrote a poem about her eyes during the ride to Hogwarts, his quill scratching the parchment in his messy, eleven year old script, as he sat curled up next to the window, glancing at Betty every now and then. It was bad, over dramatic and serious. But he kept it. In a secret compartment of his suitcase, he kept it.
Betty Cooper was a Hufflepuff. She had been for five proud years, wearing the Hufflepuff crest like a badge of honor. She practically bled yellow and black. But it was on days like Valentine’s Day that the Ravenclaw Table seemed so far away from the Hufflepuff’s.
So when she walked into the Great Hall that morning she wasn’t surprised to find herself walking past her friend Kevin Keller - who gave her an understanding wave and wink - and sitting down next to Jughead Jones.
“Hi,” she said, reaching across him to grab a jar of strawberry jam.
“Hey,” he replied, not even trying to hide his smile. “Not feeling particularly badgery today?”
“Of course I do,” Betty smirked. “It’s just the jam over here is way better. Obviously.”
“Obviously,” Jughead repeated, leaning in and kissing her cheek. “It’s not because of a certain Saint’s day that you’re over here?”
“Oh, is it Valentine’s day already?” Betty asked airily, licking strawberry off her fingers. “Huh.”
“Huh,” Jughead repeated again, draping his arm across her shoulders.
After breakfast the two wandered over to the Blue and Gold, waving goodbye to Veronica Lodge and Archie who had their own plans. Betty and Jughead had found their secret hideaway seemingly by accident a few months ago, a spacious room full of desks and filing cabinets, cork boards that moved pictures when asked, and stacks and stacks of parchment paper. They had nicknamed the place the first time they visited - thanks to the paint job - and found, on returning a second time, a giant banner hung on the far wall with the words BLUE AND GOLD printed in shimmering, color changing ink.
Betty had shrugged and grinned. “Must be magic,” she said. Almost everything was. Like the way Jughead’s hair curled under his beanie, or the way his eyes caught the light, twinkling like stars. Magic.
Jughead pushed the door open and Betty gasped, eyes wide. The entire room had changed; the walls were painted a tasteful light pink with paper hearts hanging from the ceiling on frayed string. Fresh vases full of roses sat on every desk, and the banner, their prized banner, now read HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, JUGGIE AND BETTS, with little hearts dotting every i. The parchment, desks, and cork boards had been whisked away, replaced by beanbags and cushions, all in the shapes of hearts. There was even an old radio, quietly playing love songs of days gone by.
Betty’s hands flew to her mouth. What had happened to all their work? Their research? Jason Blossom’s case files? But a small voice inside of her told that it would okay, everything would be returned. The room wanted them to take a break.
Jughead glanced at Betty. Her face had broken into one of her delighted smiles, full of surprise and amusement. She had grown up a lot from the time they first met; her braids had been swapped for a high ponytail, the pink elastics and glittery hair clips forgotten. She was no longer gap toothed, but she had never lost that endearing, sweet look about her, the look that spoke of a wilderness contained. Nor had she stopped looking like a fairy princess.
Jughead reached for her hand, leading her farther into the room.
“Must be magic,” he said softly.
Betty drew him close, resting her head on his shoulder. He was warm. He was home.
“It’s not too cheesy for you?” she asked.
“You know, I kind of like cheesy,” he said. “Kind of… love it.”
“Me too,” Betty murmured.
“Hey, Betts,” Jughead started after a pause. He swallowed and took her hands, beginning to sway along to the music. “Do you remember when we first met?”Betty raised her eyes to meet his. “Of course. You almost ran me over.”
He chuckled, blushing. “Yeah. But do you remember…ah,” he sighed, shaking his head. “I’m doing this all wrong. I’m sorry.”
“What do you mean, Juggie?” Betty asked. “Doing what wrong?”
“Um, okay,” he said, starting over. “So that moment, when I saw you for the first time, I thought…well, I thought you looked like a fairy princess.”
Betty laughed, pleased.
“You thought that skinny eleven year old was a fairy princess?” she giggled.
“I still think that,” Jughead said, taking her hand and spinning her slowly. This was going to be harder to explain than he had thought. “What I’m trying to say is that, in that first moment of seeing you, I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to know you. You were… you were the most beautiful person I had ever seen.”
“Juggie…” Betty whispered, surprised.
“I was afraid that you were going to think that I wasn’t interesting enough, or good enough, or normal enough to be your friend. But then you smiled at me and everything was okay.” Jughead said this all in a rush, feeling his cheeks grow even redder.
“Good enough?” she said in a shocked little voice. “Jughead how could you think that? You’re the kindest, most loving, most caring person I have ever met. Sometimes I’m afraid I’m not good enough for you.”
Mystified, Jughead wrapped his arms around Betty’s waist. At almost the same time, Betty threw her arms around his neck.
“Well,” he said, “perhaps we’re the best people for each other. Perhaps neither of us need to worry about that again.”
Betty nodded. Looking into his blue, blue eyes, she felt a wave of emotion, a wave of complete happiness in that one moment that she just couldn’t keep her mouth closed.
“I love you,” she blurted.
Jughead froze, stunned into silence. His princess…loved him? This girl, the girl who belonged to the day and the light, whose smile could make an entire room melt, whose very glance stopped his heart, loved him?
Betty could feel her own heart pound as she waited for him to speak. The seconds felt like an eternity, ticking in time with her throbbing pulse. They filled her up and left her empty, stopping and starting her heart, destroying and remaking her. All in the stretch of a few breaths.
Finally, Jughead lent his forehead against her’s.
“Betty Cooper,” he whispered. “I think I have loved since the first moment I saw you, and every moment afterward I have loved you more and more. But I never thought that you-”
“Yes,” she said, pulling them closer together. “I do.”
Jughead’s lips found her’s, velvet and silk. Blue and gold. Day and night. Light and dark.
“Must be magic,” he breathed.
I really hoped you enjoyed this and I love getting your feedback or requests! Love you all xxx

Into The Black - Bughead Fanfic. CHAPTER THREE.
Chapter One  Chapter Two 
A small filler! This is mainly to set things up for Betty and Jughead’s relationship but it is very needed and it does have some Bughead sweetness, I promise. :)
((Also I put this chapter on AO3 like last night but I forgot to add it on here, I am so sorry please forgive me ily))
Riverdale was a small town so that generally meant that there wasn’t much to do or to get excited about. So of course, when the back to school dance was announced, everyone was pretty much acting like they’d all gotten personal invites to the Met Ball.
Betty was kind of over it. She was over it because for some reason the back to school dance was happening on the second Saturday since they’d been back to school instead of the first and she was over it because well, high school dances are kind of lame. She can’t dance to save her life, a fact that Veronica loved to remind her of every time Betty so much as tried to shimmy her shoulders. She can’t help it that she was born with absolutely no rhythm.
She had tried to claw her way out of the stupid dance, but Veronica wouldn’t have it. That’s how she ended up at the Lodge mansion, standing in front of Veronica’s ceiling-to-floor mirror in a satin green dress that she was sure cost more than everything in her own room.
“Oh, Betty!” Veronica sighed. “You look so perfect in that. I knew there was a reason I decided to buy it.”
“You’ve never worn this?” Betty was shocked. Who had dresses like these just laying around?
“Nah,” Veronica replied nonchalantly. “It’s a custom made Valentino, but the color doesn’t really suit me. I’m more of a blue girl.”
Betty’s eyes widen and she tries not to freak out over the words “custom made” and “Valentino”. She might still shop at the Gap, and occasionally Pacsun when she’s feeling a little frisky, but she knows enough to know that she needs to be super careful with this dress tonight.
“Did Kev say when he and Archie would be here?”
Betty replies back the time that Kevin had given her earlier and Veronica nods in satisfaction. See, that’s another thing. For the last four years, Kevin has been Betty’s date to nearly every school dance and as much as she loved her best friend, she yearned to have an actual date, someone that could kiss her goodnight at the end of the day. Veronica tried to say that she was in the same boat, but Betty would just roll her eyes. If Veronica just gave Archie the okay then he would be all over her in no time.
They spend the next ten minutes doing final touches on their hair and makeup before Smithers knocks on Veronica’s bedroom door, announcing that Archie and Kevin are waiting for them downstairs. Veronica practically runs down her staircase, grinning all the way, while Betty is less than enthusiastic.
The boys looks nice in their plain black suits. They’re both wearing colored bowties to match the girl’s dresses and it’s sweet. Betty would probably appreciate it more if she was going with someone who wasn’t her gay best friend.
“Ready?” Kevin asks with a smile as he grabs her hand and leads her out of Veronica’s house. Betty nods and smiles back at him. It’ll be fun, she thinks. I’ll have fun.
The dance is less than fun. The four of them spend the first half of it sitting down at a table and the second half of it is spent watching Archie and Veronica dance their hearts out. Betty dances with Archie and Kevin and even Veronica, but her heart isn’t in it. She just isn’t having fun.
She’s more than happy when they all finally leave and make their way over to Pop’s. Since they’ve left the dance a little early, there aren’t many kids from high school there. There’s only a few families sitting down together, having what can only be a very, very late dinner.
Betty orders a shake as she takes her place next to Kevin in the booth. She doesn’t really pay attention to whatever conversation is happening between her friends. She’s too busy staring out of the window, watching the wind blow through the trees and people come and go out of the diner. When their waiter brings her shake, she nearly gulps it down all at once. It burns her throat because it’s so cold, but she doesn’t mind. It’s nice.
She’s about to excuse herself to go to the restroom when she sees a bike pull up to the corner of the parking lot. It’s just out of sight from her friends and she has to strain her eyes a little bit, but once the motorcycle turns off and the driver pulls off their helmet, she immediately knows who it is.
She bites her lip, not knowing why she has a sudden urge to smile like a lunatic and before she even thinks about it, she jumps up from the both. All three of her friends turn and look at her, confused and taken aback by her sudden movement. She realizes that she has no clue what they had even been talking about or if it had been important.
“My mom’s calling,” she lies easily as she shakes her handbag. “I’m going to go outside to talk to her.” They seem to accept this lie easily, knowing how Alice Cooper loves to keep tabs on her daughter, and fall back into conversation (which had been about Archie’s football problems) while she makes her way outside.
Jughead Jones is standing next to his black motorcycle, leather jacket on and his helmet tucked under his arm as he types away at his phone. He must be really into whatever he’s typing, because he doesn’t even hear the crunch of Betty’s heels against the gravel as she comes near him.
“Hey,” she says when she’s finally close enough. Jughead startles, only for a moment, before glancing up at her. He does a double take, going from looking at her back down to his phone and then snapping his head back up and pocketing his phone immediately.
“Betty?” He breathes out. “Holy shit, you look…” he trails off and Betty feel her face heat up. Does she looks bad? Oh god, had Veronica been lying when she said that green was her color?
“I know,” she says quickly before he can say anything. “I was at this stupid dance for my school. I probably look ridiculously overdressed, but it was required.”
“You look perfect.”
The words take her aback. On one hand, she hates when people refer to her as being perfect but on the other hand, she can’t help the way her stomach flutters at the compliment.
“Really,” Jughead repeats. “You’re beautiful.”
It’s very straightforward, something she doesn’t think any guy has ever told her before, and it’s definitely not what she was expecting Jughead to say. Especially considering the fact that they still don’t really know each other. Is this how guys normally talk to girls they don’t know?
“Thank you,” is what she finally decides on responding with. It’s the easiest thing to say. “What are you doing out here? Your gang of merry men out for the night?” She means for it to be a joke, but the way Jughead’s features go from easygoing to stoic let her know that she’s said something wrong.
“I uh,” he pauses and pulls out his phone again, checking it before locking the screen. He looks up and gives her this weird kind of grimace that almost looks like he’s in pain and that’s when it hits her.
“Oh.”
For a moment she had forgotten just who Jughead was. She had forgotten just who is “band of merry men” were and what the serpent on his leather jacket meant. It’s a splash of cold water on the happiness she had just felt at him calling her beautiful.
He doesn’t say anything, but it looks as if he’s clenching his jaw, as if he’s trying to stop himself from saying something he shouldn’t.
“I should go,” Betty says as she points behind her and towards the diner. “My friends are waiting for me.”
Jughead stretches his neck out and looks towards where she’s pointing, which just so happens to be at the booth where Archie, Veronica, and Kevin are sitting. Jughead studies them for a minute before turning back to Betty. His face doesn’t look so cold now, but his features are still hard and now he’s outright frowning at her.
“You were at a dance?” He asks, as if she hadn’t already told him that she was.
“Yes.”
“That your date?” She doesn’t have to turn around to know that he’s talking about Kevin.
“Yes,” she responds, confused.
Jughead nods, clenches his jaw again and rubs his thumb across his nose once.
“He your boyfriend?”
Betty can’t help it, she laughs. Jughead had sounded so mad, Betty’s not sure why but either way, it’s hilarious.
“Kevin? Kevin Keller?” She questions through her laughter. Jughead’s eyes widen and he takes a step back.
“Holy shit, you’re dating the Sheriff’s son?” He sounds angry at this and Betty stops laughing.
“I’m not dating him! He doesn’t even bat for my team, but even if he did he’s like a brother to me. That would be so wrong.”
Jughead’s shoulders relax as he takes in her words and he nods slowly as if he’s trying to absorb the information she’s telling him.
“So your best friend is the Sheriff’s son?” He asks, not sounding mad like before but he still doesn’t sound happy.
“He is. Is that a problem?”
Jughead shrugs. “There’s something I need to take care of that’s why I’m here,” he answers her question from earlier. “You shouldn’t be around for it.”
Betty can think of a hundred things that Jughead would need to “take care of”, but she tries desperately not to focus on any of them. Now is not the time for that, especially not when her friends could decide to come check on her at any time.
“You’re going to…” she pauses, not knowing how to phrase her question, “‘take care of business’ right here in front of Pop’s?”
“Of course not,” he says with a snort and gives Betty a look as if she’s a five year old who’s clueless to the world. “I’m doing it there.” He points to the sketchy looking forest behind him.
“Are you sure that’s safe?” Betty asks as she looks behind him. She might take walks in the forest sometimes but that’s during the day, not in the middle of the night. She’s about to tell Jughead that there’s no telling what’s out there, but then she thinks that he might be more dangerous than anything in those woods.
“I’ve done it countless times, Betts.” He doesn’t notice the nickname he’s just so happened to slip out, but Betty does and her face goes red.
She nods at his words deciding that he probably knows more about this stuff than she does.
“Well, please be safe,” she asks him. “I need to go back inside.”
Jughead just nods.
Betty turns around and takes two steps forward before she decides something.
“Jughead?” She calls out as she turns around. She’s shocked to find that he hasn’t moved at all. She wonders if he was watching her to make sure that she got back inside safely. “I think I want to take a walk tomorrow.”
Jughead gives her a puzzled look.
“Do you think that maybe Hotdog would like to join me? The trail can get lonely sometimes and the weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow so he’ll have fun.”
Jughead gives her a full grin. “I think he’d like that. Should we meet you somewhere?”
“My house,” Betty says as she walks over to him and holds her hand out. It takes him a moment to realize that she’s asking for his phone, but he finally hands it over although he makes sure to put it on the call log for her. Betty types in her name and number and hands it back to him. “My parents leave for work around ten so you can come over any time after that and then we can leave. Just text me and I’ll give you my address.”
She can practically hear Veronica yelling at her for being so naive and stupid for giving a Southside Serpent her number and potentially her address, but she doesn’t care. Jughead isn’t dangerous, at least not towards her. He wouldn’t hurt her, she doesn’t know why she’s so sure of this fact but she is.
“See you tomorrow, Betty Cooper.”
“See you, Jughead Jones.” She smiles at him and then makes her way back to the diner. When she gets inside she turns to look out the window and she’s pleased to see Jughead smile and wave at her before turning and walking away towards the woods.
“That was a long phone call,” Kevin says when she gets back. “Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, she was just telling me about some drama at the Register today.” Kevin nods before asking Veronica the story on the Valentino dress. Betty would pay attention, because she’s interested herself, but her phone vibrates in her purse and she takes it out as a smile makes its way onto her face at the unknown number staring back at her.
Green looks nice on you, Betty Cooper. Text me your address when you’re home safe that way I can know you’re okay.
A feeling of warmth floods over her at the obvious concern that Jughead shows for her wellbeing. She doesn’t know what it’s like to have a boy worry over her, aside from Archie, but this is different. This time the protective tone in the text gives her butterflies instead of the usual annoyance.
She saves Jughead’s number, wishing that it was the next morning already. She finally decides to tune into her friends’ conversation now that she’s suddenly feeling better and the rest of the night is filled with milkshakes, gossip, and a secret that keeps Betty smiling until she finally falls asleep.

Supernatural Survey
I was tagged by @starsinursa, thank you!:)
1. What season did you start watching Supernatural? I started watching in 2014, after I came across a re-run of Changelings. Before that, I’d heard of the show, but didn’t think anything of it except that the leads are pretty hot^^. Changelings got me hooked so fast though, I thought, there’s a show in which every episode is like a little horror story niice:D. This episode is still one of my faves tbh, the monster-kids were so creepy. Yeah, then I heard sth of the angel that marches into the show in S4 and I just wanted to binge to his introduction tbh:P.
2. Who was the first character you fell in love with? Dean, I’d say. At first, he was this standard macho male lead but it shone through pretty fast that there was more to it than the stereotypical action hero, like all the times he tried so desperately to keep his little family together.. it just breaks your heart, oh Dean<3
3. Who was a character that you hated at first but grew to love? hmm.. Bela? I think I grew to love her in my first rewatch, because then I learned to appreciate characters who made life hard for the boys:P (I didn’t ‘hate’ her though, that’s a little too strong..) And Crowley is a little more difficult, since I liked him at first, then totally disliked him for all the shit he pulled in S8 with Kevin and Linda and Sarah and then I liked him again.. he’s a tough one to like^^  Maybe Amara? I just hate what they did with the ‘romantic’ non-consensual bond with Dean and think she has so much more potential than what they did with her, because her arc was pretty inconsistent tbh.. In retrospect.. I probably can’t love her because I kinda have a grudge at this whole thing but I appreciate the (largely unused) potential she brought on the table..
4. Which character would you most want to be in a long-term relationship with? uhmm.. I would say Cas but I want him to date Dean so:P Jimmy? Kevin? Benny? idk I don’t really think about this kinda thing... I love the characters but I don’t imagine dating them, you know?
5. If you could go on a date with just one character, which one would you choose? One date? Dean would probably be a total gentleman;)
6. What would you do on that date? Dinner and a movie?:P And I don’t do LARPing but I bet it would be fun with Dean. Or Charlie. Or both;)
7. Which character would you most want to be like? Charlie, because she embodies an optimistic view on life, bravery and sass, the holy trinity I strive for;) Plus, my favorite Charlie quote: “I realized the only way to get away with being me is to be as indispensable as possible” - words to live by^^
8. Which character would you most want to see brought back from the dead? CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE!!! And Kevin and Eileen!!! And Alicia, because her death gave me a weird sort of bitterness.. she was such a fun character with so much potential behind her and without her Max is just a depressing character to me so yeah.
9. Which character would you most like to punch? Metatron, then I’d bribe him to write a bucklemming character into the show and punch them:P
10. Who is your absolute favorite character? Cas!:D
11. Which “Big Bad” do you think was the worst? Lucifer just had the most round arc in S5
12. Which character are you most like? if you cross out the intelligence level, Kevin? Or Claire maybe? Though they’re both braver than I am^^
13. What death hit you the hardest? Charlie because it was just so dumb an unnecessary. Same to Eileen. And Kevin. Alicia with the above mentioned reason too. Bobby.
14. What season finale hit you the hardest? Season 6. It was heartbreaking but I liked the angst. If only they had done something about Cas sooner in S7..
15. What are your ten all-time favorite episodes? Changing Channels, The French Mistake, Free To Be Me And You, The End, LARP and the Real Girl, Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets, Stuck in the Middle (With You), and like every episode with Cas and Charlie:D
16. What’s been your favorite season? Season 5
17. Who is your favorite angel? Castiel obviously;) then Balthazar, Gabriel, Anna
18. Who is your favorite demon? Abaddon and Crowley
19. Who’s your favorite evil character? Lucifer and Abaddon
20. Do you have any Supernatural ships? Destiel obviously, Saileen, Sam/Sarah, Sam/Lily (:P), Bobby/Ellen
21. Who’s your favorite supporting actor? Felicia, Osric, Kim, Katherine, Rob... I could go on
22. What’s your favorite quote from the show? "Then I realized there is no righteous path. Just people trying to do their best in a world where it’s far easier to do their worst” - Castiel (I’m writing this from memory don’t sue me if it’s incorrect^^) “It’s a gift. You keep those” - Dean (pls stop me xD)
23. If you could cast one famous actor in an episode of SPN, who would you choose? I don’t really know him but I’d say John Barrowman who everyone wants for human!Impala. Because I really really wanna see Jensen’s Dean’s face when he sees his Baby is a guy:P
24. If you could write your own episode, what kind of creatures would you like to see included? Chtulu:P
25. Who’s your favorite girl that Dean’s hooked up with? Lisa:)
26. Who’s your favorite girl that Sam’s hooked up with? Sarah!! (though does it count as a hookup? They just made out.. If not, I’ll say Madison)
27. What are some of your favorite convention moments? Basically everything I’ve seen that happened at Jibcon this year. (I’m keeping this answer from @starsinursa :P)
28. If you were going to guest star (or be a recurring guest star) on SPN, how would you want your character to be described? Some mix between Charlie, Alicia and Jody? Idk, a fun character that’s also damn tough and doesn’t take any shit from the boys. Also, she’d be the one saving the day pls:P (this would be AU!me though because I can’t act for the life of me and I bet I’d be generally pretty embarrassing if I’d see J2M in person:P)
29. What do you hope to see in the next season? A central arc for Cas that makes sense, makes for good character development and is fun to watch, lots of Destiel moments, maaaany recurring guest stars getting their time to shine, fan favorites resurrected and becoming recurring guest stars,... I won’t watch on anything less:P
30. - 40. If you had to choose…
Bobby or John? Bobby
Bela or Ruby? Bela
Jess or Madison? Madison
Jo or Lisa? Lisa sorry Jo Ily
Charlie or Kevin? Charlie (this is mean!! I love Kevin too he’s my son)
Balthazar or Ash? Balthazar (sassy British Angel friend pls give Cas some friends back:/)

Tagged by @saxrohmerwon ages ago on my brief other blog and just noticed it, thanks bruh ily <3
Rules:  Always post the rules, answer the questions given to you, then write 10 questions of your own, and tag some friends!
1. Favorite city (or town/small island/et cetera) in the world and why?
I guess it’d be Avalon. I basically spent every summer of my life there with family and it’s really small (only seven miles long) so you wind up going to the same few ice cream places or antique stores or pizza shops all the time but you never really get bored of it. The whole place has a quiet, old-timey shore town nostalgia to it too that’s super sweet. And like some of my all time favorite memories were staying on the beach until sunset when the lifeguards were gone so we could swim wherever we wanted, or climbing on the outfall pipe and walking to see how far out I was brave enough to go (it got “higher” ((read: the sand started to disappear)) the further out over the water you went), or walking on the beach at night. That was my favorite part, the nighttime. It’s weird how quiet but how alive everything got after dark, and I could hunt for ghost crabs or watch fireworks and the lights from town on the water, and the sand never bothered me as much when it was cool from the dark.
2. Describe your favorite scent/s.
Autumn, if that counts as a smell. But the combined scent of really brisk air and smoky burning leaves and fresh damp ones and hay and I guess plant life generally decaying, but in a sweet way? I also like flower smells obviously, and food smells, but those are boring to talk about. Gasoline, the specific kind of fake (cotton) paper money is printed on. Coffee. I’ve learned to kind of like the smell of cigarettes on clothes, because my boyfriend smokes and I like waking up in the sweater I wore the night before with that smell still on it. People have smells too. Like my mom smells like perfume even when she isn’t wearing any, and it’s nice. And babies smell rad and trigger ALL of my maternal impulses (cannot wait to reproduce, it’s gonna be gr8). And the boy smells really nice... Not even in like a what-deodorant-are-you-wearing kind of way but like skin and sweat and waking up warm in a cold house on Wednesday mornings. And when he comes home from work smelling like fresh cut grass and wet dirt it’s v nice.
3. Who is/was your favorite teacher and why?
My Romantic Lit professor currently, because he teaches exactly what I want to teach and I have a career crush on him. He’s also just super excitable and enthusiastic (let’s talk about that WEIRD weekend in Geneva the Shelleys took guys! Blake was an EDGELORD!) which I love.
I also had a professor at my old school who was super cool and helped me through a lot of shit? I took her personal essay class right as I was sort of in recovery for depression following a terrible, low key emotionally unhealthy (abusive? I still don’t know if I can use that word? Either way, OVER-SHARING YAY) romantic relationship and I explored that and a lot of other stuff pertaining to my childhood and relationships and discovering my queerness in my work for her class, and she was super supportive and involved in helping me experiment with new formats and really use writing as a therapeutic tool and it helped me heal a lot. She was also just a super cool lady (lots of tattoos and wispy blonde hair and a quiet voice, kind of a hipster fairy) who hung out with me at a local music festival in town when I was like fresh out of the hospital and having trouble being around my normal friends. She just always made sure her door was open and went out of her way to make me feel better, and to this day I appreciate that.
4. What is your favorite poem?  (Substitute with “song” if you don’t have a favorite poem.)
Oh my GOD, don’t make me choose. I’m obsessed with the Romantics and a few contemporaries have my heart, but I guess I’d have to say “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost. It’s just beautiful and hopeful and simple enough that tiny me could fall in love with it and appreciate it almost in its fullness when I was too young to grasp other works.
5. Weirdest thing you’ve ever heard out-of-context?
Ever? I don’t tend to remember stuff like that for a long time unless I’d like hypothetically overheard a murder or something, but last night some girl was walking back from our student center with her friends and angrily shouted that she wanted to “put her dong through a snare drum” which made me laugh.
6. Best concert experience?  (If you have never been to a concert, what do you hope your first concert will be?)
Still gotta say Green Day after just turning 15 years old. I’d never been to a concert before and they were my favorite band at the time. I was so proud to be there because I had 0 dollars to my name and no one would hire me because I was underage, so I had to earn every penny for those tickets doing gross menial work like removing and scrubbing window frames that hadn’t seen soap in maybe a decade (SO MANY SPIDERS), and teeny bopper me thought that was 'punk.’ And at one point Billie Joe Armstrong, who my pathetic little emo self wanted to MARRY told the audience he was proud of everyone who’d worked their ass off to afford to come see them play and I remember turning to my dad and screaming “HE MEANS ME!” It was so wholesome.
7. Favorite holiday (or other special occasion) and why?
Christmas! My house was THE Christmas house growing up. My parents put so much effort into it and it was the cutest thing. Besides the outrageous amount of decorations and the amazing food that takes all week to make and the cute tradition of having my grandparents spend the night to watch us open presents first thing in the morning, the best part of Christmas growing up was definitely the effort my family put into making us kids believe Santa was real for way longer than necessary. One year my uncle got a flashlight and a red solo up and climbed trees in our yard so we’d see “Rudolph’s nose” if we looked out the window. We put out reindeer food every year. My dad would stomp around shaking jingle bells and someone always climbed on the roof making noise, and my mom knew calligraphy, so she’d write us scrolls from Santa on legit parchment and toast it in the oven so it would curl. One year we had an old, old family friend who was a Santa impersonator show up with a legit sleigh and a giant book with all the family member’s names and the years they were naughty and nice in it and stories about why and it was so cute. So whereas most kids found out around like 8 my parents went to extreme lengths so that I believed it until I was like 11 and honestly, I’m really glad they did, because it was a kick ass childhood. I definitely want to be that level of extra when I become a parent.
8. Did you ever play an instrument growing up?  If so, how did it go for you?
Guitar, bass, after I learned guitar I could play pretty much anything pluckable with strings, so I had a Romanian lap harp (I was such a cool kid) and I would sometimes play my sister’s viola (often incorrectly and like a guitar, but it was fun to sample when I recorded stuff). I haven’t sang or touched an instrument in like seven years though. I kind of gave up after sad life stuff happened but I want to pick it back up again. I really miss music.
9. If you were given $100 today, what would you do with the money?
Use it toward Christmas presents for loved ones. Since I’m basically not allowed out of the house after I go home for break I have to do Christmas early with the friends and boyfriend.
10. What’s the scariest movie you have ever seen?  (Define scary however you like.)
I love scary movies so this is hard, but I guess anything in which children are genuinely evil? Like not even in a supernatural way; it’s not horror but watching We Need To Talk About Kevin fucked me up. I guess being a mom is like so much something that I want, and imagining that happening would def keep me up at night. Especially because I would not know what to do.
Now, for questions:
1. What’s your favorite article of clothing?
Dresses but also plain black leggings. And I have very soft sweatpants that fit just right.
2. Do you still sleep with a stuffed animal?
Nope. I can’t sleep with the live one either lol, Bynx likes to sleep RIGHT where I want to roll over and screams and puts his paws in my mouth when he wants attention.
3. Do you believe in heaven? Hell?
Both, Catholic.
4. Do you listen to podcasts? What are your favorite ones?
Not really, but I’d like to, in theory. It just seems like more effort somehow than watching TV and I am always tired.
5. What was your go-to game during recess?
Four square.
6. Where do you see yourself in the next ten years– not in a job interview kind of way, but actually?
Awwww this is cute to think about. I guess I’d like to be living in like a really woodland but not isolating place, somewhere where my house can be on a lake or by woods or mountains but if I drive ten minutes there’s a cozy-sized town with all I need. Maybe in like Virginia or Vermont. I’m a professor of Gothic Literature at the local college, and my students are engaged and inspiring and call me by my first name. I’m in a pretty and not-too-big house, but it’s warm and smells like our fireplace. I’m married to my lovely guy, and both our jobs are flexible enough that we can have dinner as a family and spend time with our brood of kids. And they pay well enough that we might not be wealthy but we never have to worry. The cat’s still with us and we’ve got a dog, too. We go on camping trips and The Lumberjack teaches the kids how to build fires and tie knots and dad stuff like that. One of the kids at least loves reading and the house is full of books - I’ve got a home office full of bookshelves and a reading nook. We’ve got a porch where we can bundle up and drink wine in the evening after the kids are in bed. We’re not rich but not poor, and our families get along and come to visit. My parents still ask us over for Christmas every year. Wherever I teach, my kids can go there for free.
7. Do you have a favorite visual artist? Who are they?
Oh lord, I don’t know. I mean I like art but I hate the process of liking art. It’s so much more involved than “I like how this piece makes me feel” and I don’t enjoy that. I like individual pieces and I don’t know enough about art to really speak on it.
I guess, though, I like Dali and Khalo as people. They seem unpretentious and fun. Which is surprising because I guess the way their work is talked about you’d think the opposite.
8. Do you really like a food that most people think is disgusting? Or, do you like a popular food to a disgusting degree?
Not really but like I put too much hot sauce / jalapenos on everything and it disgusts people. And I put way too much sugar in coffee, and creamer too.
9. What music did your parents play in the house/car?
My mom is a New Wave junkie like me and my dad had more complicated taste. He was never big into music, so he only really likes a few artists for their voices and some songs for nostalgia. So we listened to a lot of oldies and swing and Judy Garland, but he also loved Blondie and Boston.
10. What would you tell your 15-year-old self?
I’d tell her she’s a lot stronger than she’s going to think she is one day and to tough it out. That people love her and will love her. That when you get older, family is hard, but it’s worth it to work on things. That she’s smarter than she thinks she is and should try harder in school, because when she finally does have faith in herself, it’ll pay off. 
Tagging whoever else wants to do this - it’s cold and rainy (here at least) and we could all use a day of warm socks and procrastinating with asks, honestly.

The Raven King, Chapter 13 – The Birth of Responsible Neil Josten
In which our favourite angsty runaway finally starts being useful, Andreil engage in some hot ab-touching, Wymack Knows™ things and I sense yet more Hufflepuffs dawning on the horizon.
Sounds good? Then it’s time for Nicki to read The Raven King.
The enw chapter starts and already we have to witness shit that I am decidedly not liking:
Nicky being super fucking miserable.
           “We shouldn’t have come here,” Nicky said, sounding as wretched as he looked. (…) “What have I done?”
NOOOOOOOOO MY SUNSHINE SON
On the long, long list of why I fucking hate Drake’s guts, “He made Nicky sad” is one point I am especially angry about having to add.
You know, apart from all the obvious fuckery.
Thankfully, I can trust my man Josten to stop Nicky from sinking down further into the Guilt Depression Pit:
           “You didn’t do anything,” Neil said. (…) “You didn’t know this was going to happen. None of us did. If we’d known, we wouldn’t have come.”
That’s what I was bloody saying. Thank you, Sir Runaway Angst Lord, for finally agreeing with me on something.
Also where’s this sudden rush of being the voice of reason coming from?
           “It doesn’t make sense that Drake would come here. Higgins was here a month ago. Why wait so long, and why risk it? The police can track a cross-country plane ticket easily.”
That’s……. actually a very good point I had not considered before.
Why was Drake there? To “””make amends””” with his “””little brother””” (my toenails are rolling just typing that word), sure – but why now?
There’s more to this. WHAT IS IT.
No time to deal with this now – for now, we are dealing with Andrew getting sent on a nice lil vacation to Fun Anti-Mania Rehab.
           Kevin fixed Betsy with a stunned look. “It’s too early. What do you think you’re doing?”
           “The right thing,” Betsy said.
HELL YEAH SHE IS.
Bless Betsy Dobson for turning cliché action movie lines into lines that make me actually emotional.
           “Who will take care of Kevin if I’m gone? I can’t trust him wandering around here by himself, and Coach can’t be with him all the time. Kevin’s kind of a full-time job.” (…)
           “I’ll watch him,” Neil said.
BITCH WHAT.
           “What do you think you are saying? What are you trying to do?”
           “Take responsibility,” Neil said in German.
BITCH WHAT.
“VERANTWORTUNG ÜBERNEHMEN”, DIGGAH WAS.
I did not know you vocabulary even included that word.
Our boy??? Is finally starting to be responsible, adult and useful??? WHAT IS THIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I AM WITNESSING.
           “If I was going to leave I would have done so at the banquet when Riko called me by my name,” Neil said. “I won’t lie and say I didn’t think about it, but I decided to stay. I trusted you more than I was scared of him. So trust me now if you can. I’m not going anywhere. I’ll take care of Kevin until you return.”
Cause of death: This.
Responsible Neil, where did you suddenly come from?? And most importantly, how can we make sure you don’t transform back into Angsty and Dramatic Neil??
           “You lie, and lie, and lie, and you think I’ll trust you with his life?”
           “Then don’t tust ‘Neil’”, Neil said. “Trust me.”
           “Oh, but who are you? Do you have a name?”
           “If you need one, call me Abram.”
Oh my goooood.
Neil giving out his birth name (or parts of it) to Andrew just adds a whole ‘nother level of intimacy, rawness and seriousness to this exchange.
It also adds another level of I can’t fucking deal with this.
           With so many people watching them Neil couldn’t life his shirt. He did the next best thing and dragged one of Andrew’s hands under the hem. He pressed Andrew’s palm to the ugly scarring across his abdomen.
Touching!!!!!!!!! On his scars!!!!! Which no one has ever even seen!!!!! And Andrew gets to motherfucking touch them!!!! TOUCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Andreil heart is having a fucking rave, you guys.
           “Do you understand?” Neil asked. “Nothing Riko does will make me leave him. We will both be here when you get back.”
IM FUCKNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember when I had huge Kevandreil feels way back in the beginning/middle of the first book? Remember that?? REMEMBER????
I’m still not set on whether I ship it romantically, sexually or just hardcore-platonically (although I’m leaning to the latter), but just – THE DYNAMICS, YOU GUYS.
You can always sign me the fuck up for a good triumvirate.
And of course, not even Andrew can say no to an offer when it comes in the form of some good ab-touching, and just like that, he leaves for rehab.
Godspeed, my manic murder kitten – please come back happier, healthier, yet hopefully just as full of sass. <3
There’s a little thing at the end of this exchange, though, that is quickly glossed over but that caught my attention, and that is Wymack being a perceptive bastard:
           “Hopefully hearing about all of this (…) will get [Aaron] moving, but who knows when it comes to those two? Speaking of unpredictable assholes, when did that happen?”
           “When did what?” Neil asked.
           Wymack eyes him. “Forget it.”
Is he……….. already hinting at Neil and Andrew having A Thing………….. Wymack Knows™.
Did I mention I love that guy recently? #dicksoutforperceptivebastards
           “What about the season?” Kevin asked. “What about Riko?”
           “What about Andrew? Attempt to think about someone and something else for just a moment there.”
DID I MENTION I LOVE THAT GUY RECENTLY. #dicksoutforcaringaboutandrew
           “Look,” Wymack said. “I know I’ve always told you all to take your personal problems up with Betsy or Abby. I’ve said it’s not my place to get into anything outside the court. I hope you’ve figured out by now that I’m just blowing hot air.”
Grumpy Fox Dad ily <33
Guess who’s back now – Aaron, fresh outta custody.
Guess who’s really emo and angry about the Andrew Situation – Aaron, back to being bitter and broody as per usual.
Guess who’s finally done taking his shit and starts dishing out some reason and sensibility in this mess – RESPONSIBLE NEIL FUCKING JOSTEN.
           “Are you at all sorry?” Neil asked. “You took his family away from him. (…) Do you think Cass will ever forgive Andrew?”
Fair point – I’m all for Drake being Not A Thing anymore, of course (although imo prison would have done the job better than, you know, murder), but there is no denying that Aaron made sure the only woman that ever came close to a mum for Andrew now hates him till forever, probably.
           “I don’t care about Cass or Drake or anyone. What Drake did – no. If I could bring him back from the dead and kill him again I would.”
           “Good,” Neil said quietly. “So now you understand why Andrew killed your mother.”
HOLY SHIT.
Holy shit he’s fucking RIGHT oh my god. I did not see this coming at all (and neither did Aaron) and I am SHITTING MYSELF.
           “You don’t know anything,” Aaron said.
           “I know you’ve got a couple weeks to think about it,” Neil said. “When Andrew comes back sober you’ll have to talk about this. You won’t get anywhere if you start with Drake, so you might as well start with your mother.”
Neil, I am just honestly so, so impressed with you right now.
Just – this. This exchange right there so, so fucking important. I can already see that this will help the twins greatly in finally becoming real siblings, and Neil was the one who made that happen.
It’s been said time and time again how Neil will be the one bringing the Foxes together, and every time I see it actually happening now I leap out of my skin in happiness.
And the key to all of that happening is the birth of Responsible Neil we are witnessing right now.
I want you guys to really, really get how amazing I find this new development. One thing that, in hindsight, really annoyed me about Neil in the first book was how fucking Dramatic, Angsty and Extra™ he was – and I know this made for some good jokes, but it honestly also annoyed me a lot. He was just so whiny. And I know it’s for good reason, but still – I just kept hoping he would one day pull his head out of his ass.
Breaking news: Our boy Neil’s head has now left his ass.
This scene, all these scenes are so amazing because: TFC-Neil wouldn’t have done this. TFC-Neil would have stood there uncomfortably, saying nothing and staring, dramatically contemplating his own angst and his own trauma and why he should run away now and how oh so fucking tragic his own life is.
TRK-Neil does not. TRK-Neil deals with problems other than his own, starts taking responsibility and gets out of his own fucking head for once.
TLDR: FUCK. YEAH.
The monsters (minus one) and the Fox Parents get back to Palmetto, where they’re all reunited with the rest of the team – which is not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be, since apparently the story is all over the news and no dramatic retellings are in order.
Also, apparently Matt’s mom bailed Aaron out of jail, as a ‘thank you’ for him helping Matt get clean. Neat!
           “We’re all Foxes. We are a team. What happens to one of us happens to all of us, and we’re going to get each other through this.” (…)
           If it wasn’t so terrible, it’d be brilliant. This was what Dan and Matt had been waiting for all semester: a catalyst to finally unite the team.
Have I mentioned how much I’m feels-nutting every time the Foxy Team Spirit gains some bonus points? Have I?? HAVE I????????
However, it’s not all fun and games (not that it ever was fun and games), as there is Serious Exy Trouble resulting from Andrew being gone:
           “If the ERC decides Andrew isn’t part of our line-up anymore, we’re beneath size regulations. They’ll strike us from the roster and our year is over. (…) Kevin is afraid.”
Dun dun dun duuuuuuuun. That’s a pretty shit situation you got there, mate.
           Neil fixed Kevin with a stony look. “Maybe if you’d stuck around a moment longer you’d understand why I don’t care anymore. When you came upstairs, did you hear mim laughing, Kevin? (…) So yes, even I would give up on this season. And after everything he’s done and every risk he’s taken for you, you’d better feel the same.”
MIKE FUCKING DROP.
With Neil gone, Kevin currently takes the top spot on the List of People Who Need To get Their Heads Out Of Their Own Angsty Ass.
           “Rhemann has taken our side. He offered to speak on our behalf if need be, and he’s helped reach out to the others.”
James Rhemann, apparently, is the coach for the USC Trojans – a team that is so fair and kind they never, ever got a single red card in their entire existence.
Tumblr media
I am DELIGHTED. When do we meet those USC cinnamon puffs, give them to me NOW.
           “As of this morning, the vote across the Class I teams is almost unanimous,” Wymack said. “They want us to finish the season.”
HELL FUCKIN YEAH.
           “I want one lap for every time you’ve ever said the NCAA’s never had your back.”
           “Oh, Jesus,” Nicky said. “We’ll be running all day.”
BAHAHAHAHA. I actually had to laugh so hard at that. Possibly because it’s the first time there is a reason for laughter in, like, three chapters.
But also possibly because it’s just unexpectedly really funny.
In summary: The Foxes get to play on, Andrew finally gets the help he needs and deserves, and Neil’s head gets a serious applause from me for being finally free of his ass.
If you like what I do here and you want to help me continue writing, please consider buying me a coffee! Thank you so much <3 
 One last note: New update will be out on Monday instead of Sunday because I’m gone all weekend – I’ll be at a cheerleading event with my friends! I can already hear myself going “That’s Katelyn” at every single cheerleader wearing orange. Wheee!
