#scott is the soup man

[roshambo05]

My favorite Cyclops characterization is when he's just an absolute dork of a man. Like, yeah, he's a brilliant strategist and competent leader but he's also eaten nothing but soup for the past five days, organizes his underwear by color, and acts either like a 40 year old man or a teenager with no in-between. Scott is an OCD/autistic man with everything together but his life and his brain is filled with nothing but battle strategy and Seinfeld reruns. Scott Summers is the world's smartest dumbass.

[ceratedfish24]

I would like to start this post by saying that I am not villainizing Jimmy. In my headcanon, he took Scott for granted, and that is a mistake that people make. It is forgivable with time and effort. People learn and grow and prosper, and it makes our relationships all the more meaningful to us.

Every time I think of Flower Ranchers, I think of Jimmy breaking up with Scott seemingly out of nowhere (that is how I translate Jimmy suddenly acting like he and Scott were never together after Third Life and refusing to say “I love you too” in Limited Life because cmon bro) and Scott moving out of their apartment.

Some time later, Jimmy and Tango are together, and they ask Scott to join them. He agrees, because why wouldn’t he? He still loves Jimmy, and Tango is wonderful, and Scott’s heart could be broken all over again without so much as a warning, but he will take that risk as many times as it takes, and that’s not healthy of him, but he can’t bear it any longer. Maybe seeing Jimmy and Tango together more intimately will tell Scott what it was that he did wrong.

They invite him back to their house for dinner and a movie. Of course he says yes. He has an anxiety attack the night before. Why did he say yes? He’ll have to see it all, now. He’ll have to see all of the ways Jimmy eradicated any and all evidence of him. He’ll be a stranger in this place he used to call home. He’ll be a guest to the man who his ex left him for, but Tango is trying so hard to accommodate for Scott because he’s Scott. He’s wonderful, wonderful Scott, and Tango loves him and Jimmy loves him too, and none of them know how to go about the healing process to this but they’re trying, so Scott has to try too.

He shows up that night, but only after hours and hours of overthinking every little thing.

Jimmy had replaced the oven that they picked out together. Scott used to love that oven. He baked their 1 year anniversary cake in that oven. When Jimmy was sick, he would make soup on its stove.

Jimmy changed the wallpaper in the master bedroom. Scott had picked out that wallpaper. Had Jimmy hated it the whole time?

Jimmy had removed the desk Scott hadn’t been bothered to take with him when he moved out. Scott’s initials were carved under that desk.

Jimmy had new mugs. They were Tango’s mugs. Tango’s mugs were sitting where Scott’s used to be.

Jimmy had candles in the bathroom cabinet. Scott didn’t recognize them. They were Tango’s candles.

Tango likes Scott’s old spot on the couch. Loathing the thought of bothering Tango in his own home, let alone so early in their relationship, Scott doesn’t say anything about it. He finds a new favorite spot on the couch. He never tells Tango about this, nor does Jimmy ever bring it up.

The bedsheets are different. That wasn’t a surprise. Scott probably would’ve been a little more disturbed if they weren’t different. Will they change again now that he’s here, or will Scott force himself to sleep under sheets that Jimmy and Tango had bought without Scott in mind? Would he be called overdramatic if he got emotional about bedsheets? He was so grateful to have been invited back into this home and into this relationship, but he was a visitor. He felt like he was one misstep away from becoming an intruder, something unwanted again.

The fridge’s contents are very different. Tango has a different diet. Scott becomes set on learning new recipes. The grip of the cooking utensils aren’t the same as the ones he used to have here.

All of the photos of Scott had been taken down. Again, not a shocker, but it made Scott teary-eyed. When he noticed, Jimmy and Tango were making dinner for him. He had gone to use the bathroom. He noticed the wall of pictures that used to be of himself and Jimmy was now covered in pictures of Tango and Jimmy. He was immediately distraught, but, more so, he felt so ashamed that he was distraught, that he hadn’t mentally prepared himself to find every picture of himself having been replaced. He doesn’t know how long he must have stood there, just staring at every picture. It was long enough that Jimmy came to check on him, but Jimmy ended up just staring at Scott in that hallway, neither of them knowing what to say. Scott would have cried - out of embarrassment or grief, he still doesn’t know - if he wasn’t already so ashamed of himself just for being there, even though it had been Tango and Jimmy who had invited him over. Even though he still didn’t know what made Jimmy pick Tango over him. Even though he doesn’t know where else in the world he would’ve been remotely okay with being at that night. Even though he, in all honesty, would’ve been more upset to have seen the pictures of him and Jimmy. He only knew that he was intruding. He didn’t belong there anymore.

The kitchen floor had been renovated. Did Jimmy hate the way it was before, or did he hate it after he had broken up with Scott? Did he not hate it at all and just found something better? They used to dance in that kitchen. Since then, he’s danced with someone who Scott assumed must be better.

Scott can recognize that there’s a smell to the apartment. Not at all a bad smell. It’s just one he hadn’t smelled here before. He doesn’t know if it’s a new smell or if it’s always been there, and he’s just no longer accustomed to it.

Jimmy got a new laundry basket. Surprisingly, it looks like something Scott might’ve picked out. It’s blue and everything. Scott wonders if Jimmy thought of him at all when looking at it.

Scott had designed a bookcase himself, and he and Jimmy had put it together. It had been too big to be moved into Scott’s new apartment, so he had to leave it in Jimmy’s. It’s gone now. Scott’s terrified to ask what happened to it. (He asks about it a year and a half into their relationship, when he’s more confident in their relationship. Jimmy startles at the mention of it, recalling how having it in his home stirred up too many memories of Scott. He had had it moved into his parents’ house. He gives them a call to ask for it back and surprises Scott with it a couple days later.)

There were some small things that, when Jimmy and Tango had invited Scott to try being a part of their relationship, Scott had thought about moving back into Jimmy’s apartment. He finds that many of them had been replaced. That makes sense, but it doesn’t make the ache in his chest feel any better.

Tango’s towels are where Scott’s used to be.

Scott’s succulents don’t sit on the windowsills.

The curtains are different. They had been yellow, before. They’re red, now.

Scott has never felt so embarrassed. He has no reason to be. He had been told to pick a movie, but he’s been staring off into space for who knows how long. Something warm is on his arm. It’s Tango’s hand, and, suddenly, they’re making eye contact. Tango doesn’t know how things are different. He doesn’t remember how things looked when he moved in. However, his pretty new boyfriend is distraught, and that is unacceptable. He holds Scott close. Scott doesn’t cry. He can’t. Tango had worked so hard for this to be a nice night for the three of them, and Scott wasn’t about to ruin it. He already feels like he has, but Scott would never forgive himself if he let Tango get tangled in the grief of Scott and Jimmy’s past.

Jimmy just watches them. He doesn’t know why he ended things with Scott. Scott had been wonderful. Scott had been everything, and then he wasn’t. Jimmy had gotten distant. He thought that maybe being with Scott had been too wonderful. Maybe the brightest stars really did burn out the fastest. But then he left Scott, and the look on Scott’s face had torn his heart in two. He left Scott, and nothing filled the void in his home, not even Tango.

Tango doesn’t prefer the same side of the bed as Scott.

Tango likes to shower in much hotter water than Scott did.

Tango doesn’t watch movies or shows in his spare time. The background noise of Scott’s shows while Scott cooked or cleaned or worked was gone.

Scott was a neat freak. Tango is an organized mess.

Playfully, Tango and Jimmy always argue over whether cats or dogs are better pets. Scott had always agreed with Jimmy that cats were better and that had been that.

Like Jimmy, Tango rolls his eyes at romantic cliches. Jimmy finds himself missing looking over and seeing Scott all starry eyed during cheesy romance movies. He wonders if he should’ve set up more cliches for them.

Tango is just as awkward as Jimmy is. He giggles and shrugs when Jimmy trips over his words in front of people. He’s as oblivious to pop culture as Jimmy is. Scott was never that way. Scott could smooth social interactions over for Jimmy like butter on toast. Scott could list ten facts about every celebrity Jimmy couldn’t so much as name. Scott’s charm and charisma was unmatched.

Tango can’t keep a cactus alive for five minutes. Scott practically had a garden in their home.

Tango and Jimmy tend to be pretty equally matched at games. Scott was always good at games, which meant he would sometimes let Jimmy win. Jimmy aches for it. He enjoys competing against Tango, but he yearns to look up from winning and cheering and teasing to see Scott staring at him silently with so much fondness that Jimmy would stop immediately. You just can’t tease a pretty man when he’s looking at you like he just watched you rip the stars from the sky, even if you both know it was him who allowed you to do it.

Tango flirts with Jimmy. He calls him teasing nicknames and will take on any excuse to call him “handsome”, but he never touches Jimmy during it. Scott was handsy. He would call Jimmy “handsome” while he adjusts Jimmy’s already perfectly fine tie. He would joke that Jimmy’s “attention seeking” while his hands were all over Jimmy’s shoulders. He would ask if Jimmy finds him pretty while he runs his hand down Jimmy’s arm. He would call Jimmy “Petal” with his nose pressed up against Jimmy’s jaw.

Jimmy takes down all of the pictures of Scott and puts them in a box. He doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to bring himself to open it again. (He does, when Scott finally, and Jimmy means finally, moves back in. He opens it when Scott finds it during spring cleaning. Scott, voice breaking and eyes watery, admits that he never thought he’d get to see these pictures again, and Jimmy can’t say or do anything except press his lips to Scott’s temple and apologize for the millionth time. Some of the pictures get to fill frames again.)

Tango is fantastic. Tango is bright and fiery and loud and incredible, but Tango is his own person. He’s not Scott, and he’ll never fill the space that Jimmy had made in his own life. Tango just made more room for himself around the empty space in Jimmy’s heart. Tango is fire and Scott is ice and one can never do the job of the other and that’s how it always will be. Tango was energy and passion and warmth, and Scott was calm and soothing and refreshing. There was no comparing the two. There was no comparing anyone to Scott, because no one was Scott except for Scott. Why had Jimmy gotten so distracted?

He missed Scott. He missed his angel. He missed his snowflake so much.

Winter comes around, and it’s Scott’s favorite season. Tango comes home complaining about the cold, and Jimmy realizes that Scott was celebrating the season with no one that year for the first time in forever. He wants to throw up over the balcony.

Then, Tango mentioned that he might like Scott too, and it was an internal battle all over again, wondering when might be a good time to ask Scott out if there was any. Except, it was worse this time, because Jimmy had broken his heart. He couldn’t muster the courage to beg Scott to let him try again. Jimmy didn’t think he deserved a second chance.

But Scott did.

[safety-writes-noms]

cough cough. More self indulgent stuff.. (1 like and I’ll make X-men vore hcs 😇). Scott’s totally my favorite X-man and I genuinely have no idea why. I love the soup and cereal guy.

RECAP OF SHELBY SHUBBLE LORE!! a.k.a. mel refuses to study for her physics exam (its all connected part 1.)

disclaimer: i wrote this in 3 sittings and didn't edit it at all. dont expect it to be good.

PART 1. EMPIRES SMP S1 - my ex-bully transferred to my new school?!

shrub berry arrives to the world of empires season 1 a bit later than most of the cast. how does she arrive you ask? she was chased by Xornoth-the local server demon- from her gnome paradise after it was abselutely destroyed by said demon.

she starts making her empire, containing hobbit holes and giant mushrrom homes. the citizens? her beloved wolf pack that are named after the solar system/zodiac signs and her hand-carved wood friends! and a dire wolf!

everything going great!! xornoth returns!!! everything is now catasthropic!!

xornoth haunts her in her empire as shrub tries to be tough and scary, only to fail and start confessing her sins to him.

she sees a severed wolf head inside of her house. gem comes to talk to her about. gem comes to visit with her book, containing information about the demon. she gives her a corruption containment box. shrub chucks it in her home-made mushroom fairy circle.

there is now a protector (tiny cute lil mushroom man) watching over undergrove

lizzie and joels wedding!! also xornoth is now properly revealed to everyone.

the final end battle. xornoth gets full power (ohhh no. ohhh no.) also update on undergrove, there is now a giant eye!! "oh it's crying. he's sad. therapy would've been so much eaaasier" the tentacles around undergrove are getting worse day by day. there are also red gian crystal floating up in the sky.)

shrub gets kidnapped by joey. she then escapes

shrub gets kidnapped by joey AGAIN. while in the final battle against xornoth. gem helps her escape

xornoth is finally defeated and put inside a crystal (which looks supiciously yummy- this will become relevant later on)

THE CROOOOOOOWN IS HERE!!

then, we have the start of the somehow-even-more-depressed shrub arc! she misses her people, deeply wants to belong somewhere and she starts growing closer and closer to her wolf pack, resulting her on putting on a persona called the wolf spirit.

but suddenly, it hits her. xornoth is gone and so is the corruption, this may possibly mean that her home is now free.

she steps into the portal, comes back to her home (now abandoned). excited to spread the news, she goes to fwhip to show him. they walk into the portal, and its... the reuglar nether. then, they proceed to steal the xornoth crystal from scott (who was still in his elsa arc by then and therefore could not be trusted with it.) she might or might not have tried to eat it. i will leave that up to your imaginations :D

this is where shrub starts to lowkey loose her mind, so buckle up! she meets up with gem (who was still in her anna arc) when gem asks for her help. shrub gives her a soup and gem's white streak turns RED. the xornoth crystal is also whispering to her at this point

our girl gets THE CROWNNNN from joey's scavenger hunt, yayyyy!! she orders everyone to get 5 wolves within their empire so she can keep an eye out on everyone, yayyy!! she is having nightmares and hearing whispers which leads to her giving up the crown to katherinne, not yay!! this is horrible!! she is having a terrible time!!,

what time is it? its time to go full on wolf spirit on everyone!! is what the exact thoughts that were in her mind in her last couple episodes in season 2. she ran away from everyone, took all of her wolves and started a totally normal camping trip.

shrub then found the mother wolf of another forest who has a message for her. she learns that the nether is a gateway which makes it possible for her to find all of the remaining gnomes.

after the rapture, the disaster that effected all of the empires, she takes all her wolfs, gives a final goodbye to undergrove, and goes to search for the remaining gnomes.

these were on three seperate episodes and i thought it'd be funny to include them

another thing that i think is notable to mention about this part is that cc!shelby has teased the possible continuation of shrub's storyline multiple times during these following years. although it hasn't been revealed yet, it is preasumed to give her story the closure it needed.

PART 2. EMPIRES SMP S2- a day in the life of a high school dropout

how does this connect to empires- you ask? well, empires 2 is set to be thousands of years later empires 1! (theres also other connections so just keep reading. source: trust me bro)

empires smp season 2 starts as shelby the witch, being sent to the mangrove forest by the great witches academy.

the mangrove forest is rumored to be haunted. the rumours are unfortunately true. in good news, katherine made her a witch hat! ( it is huge) she also now has a potion store.

remember that potion store? that witch better get herself an ukulele and film an apology video because that potion store caused her to accidentally break a whole dimension, causeing her to replace it. the academy is NOT happy about her recent progress, which is seen when shelby was welcomed by an expulsion letter. they banned her from being a witch. (update: the letter is now burning in lava)

she finds an " old gnome spell" which is the instructions on making the wood-people from undergrove (empires s1 reference count: 1) she also finds a sign saying "i know what you did"

she is also now hearing whispers from the mysterious fog. it has become a pattern now, her hearing things. she also now has a broom! (collecting all the witch essentials one step at a time)

there is still a ghost in evermore.

since her potions like, never ever work, she turns sausage into a zombie and starts a zombie apocalypse for a good 2 episodes (it was a whole thing)

hermits arrive!!!

cub went into the fog to investigate. he then became infected with sculk, his only objective being to spread it, no matter what. shelby used her potions on him to cure the corruption.

great witch shelby (self proclaimed) finds a gnome settlement while wandering inside the fog. there is a broken nether portal and a sign that read "we're in heres shrub. come find us" shelby then sees the flasbacks of xornoth destroying gnomeland. (empires 1 referecne count: 2)

she has a quick dip to hermitcraft, right before coming home and seeing a wanted sign, for crimes against empires. the reward is 100.000.000 whatever the currency is

our girl is now wanted!! not by katherine, unfortunately

another academy letter. summary: bitch you can't gaslight yourself into being a witch. we sent phantoms to find you. you better surrender before they do.

we now see the start of the sculk arc!! shelby has skulk slowly taking over her from this point on. (she is "it's fine"ing herself through it. this is a common narrative among the empires members, they are all delusional.)

jimmy, after seeing the wanted signs and the sculk comes to investigate. shelby murders him.

she notices a blood trail in evermoore.

guess who's back. back again? bradwurst's back, tell a friend. (empires s1 references: 3)

guess who said the quote: "you look a lot like a little gnome i met before" do you have your guesses in? yes? ding ding dingg, you're right its bradwurst. (empires s1 references: 4)

THE CROOOOOOWWNN is back!! (empires s1 reference: 5)

she is very sculked up at this point. close to cub level. things are NOT looking great for her. she goes to bradwurst (evil sausage) for help and he wants her to go intp the sculk pit.

then the lesbians start fighting because shelby is mad at katherine for not finding a cure for katherine's curse and shelby's corruption. maybe she was just mad at herself, maybe it was the sculk talking. we'll never know... "so maybe this is just who i am now. you can't help me. maybe figure out your own problems" LOVE LOSES!!

oli visits shelby and tries to play a song to her right at the center of the old gnome settlement, standing on a sculk catalyst. shelby murders him and the sculk begins to spread *insert badass shot of shelby, now fully sculk* "huh, so that's what it feels like to be empty"

undergrove is more haunted, corrupted and sculked than before. shelby is STILL hearing noises from the fog.

our great sculky witch then enters a cleansing mode where she burns all of the haunting evidence and cleaning up the sculk from the old gnome settlement spoiler: it does not work.

the voices are still as loud as ever, and shelby is one step closer to going full-on evil shelby on everyone. she insists on "not being crazy" as she tries to murder oli again. sausage then saves the day with his empires s1 paralels and uses his wand on her to knock her dead.

problem: shelby is not waking up. soluiton: sausage gets lizzie to help and she uses her nekomancy on shelby.

shelby wakes up in an ancient city and a warden comes at her. she is transported into a fully white room.

sausage then comes to the said white room and shares his experiences about his own corruption and how he got rid of it. "let's get out of here and go get some therapy!"

she now has white hair!! (this will be relevant later) she also apologizes to oli.

then it's one of the most iconic scenes of all of empires: shelby goes to apologise to katherine. "maybe we could get coffee sometime?" "yeah!" (if i am remembering this correctly, cc!shelby said that they really enjoyed that coffee together)

she then gets a letter from her friend from the academy, saying that since the principal turned out to be evil, everyone's records are wiped clean. this means she can return to the academy!

she goes to god joel to learn about lightining magic.

BOOM!! 10 YEARS LATER: storm witch shelby has got a new letter in her mailbox.

PART 2.5 WITCHCRAFT- is white hair still hip and cool?

we pick up right were we left out were we find out what the letter means. the letter is from the supreme witch, inviting her to be a part of a competition where 8 witces battle it out to become the new supreme witch.

the challenges go by as storm witch is getting more and more powerful. "wow, i cant believe how strong ive gotten. this is everything ive ever wanted. i wonder what she'll think of be once i go back home. i'll be so different! what if i change too much? what if i win? i'm not cut out for this, i did awful in school! no no no no no. i need to do this. i have something to prove..."

the "she" does not have a confirmed identity sccording to cc!shelby, but us nature wives people love to think of her as katherine.

storm witch shelby achieved second place in the competition, loosing to scott.

she then goes back home. "it's good to be home. oh- oops. hey, sorry 'bout the rain! i'm home!"

AAAAAAND DONE. i'm planning to do more of these recaps for ccs who have characters and/or lore spanning multiple series. i've decided to start with shelby since her lore isn't that crazy when it comes to the multiversal aspect.

anways, i really enjoyed making this and i hope you enjoyed reading it!

[bouncypickle]

Logan is an alpha going into rut but Wade's universe is not omegaverse so he has no idea what's going on

To say Logan is pent up is a bit of an understatement. He hadn't so much as touched another person until that asshole Wade appeared in his life and completely disregarded every personal boundary Logan had.

So really, Logan blames Wade for this shit.

It only takes three weeks of settling into his new life with Wade–and Al and Vanessa and Laura and all of Wade's other weird ass friends–for Logan's body to finally relax. Despite Wade's constant badgering and complaining, Logan did not move into the one bedroom apartment with Wade and Al. He moved into the one bedroom apartment next door.

Wade and Vanessa are a couple again. Or something. Wade won't shut up about Vanessa and Vanessa is also dating some other guy at work and Logan has walked in on Wade and that Peter guy cuddling more than once. And honestly? Logan doesn't give a fuck about whatever they all have going on.

What Logan does give a fuck about is this: Wade dragged Logan into his mess, then into his world, then into his life, and Logan's stupid Alpha body relaxed and felt safe and started responding to Wade’s stupid touches and constant presence and–

Logan is going into his rut.

Back in Logan's world, in his…old life, Logan's ruts were amazing. He had his mates, Scott and Jean. Their time together was…

Logan doesn't deserve anything like that anymore.

So instead, Logan locks himself up in his apartment. He plans on sweating through this awful rut alone even though he knows it's going to be bad, worse than he's had in a long time. He hasn't had a rut in–fuck–years now. His body, even with his healing, isn't going to enjoy this.

Logan sits on his crappy couch in his empty living room and sweats. He ripped his shirt off about twenty minutes ago but he still feels like he's burning alive. Sweat glistens across his neck, between his collarbones and pecs, down through his chest hair, over his abs. His face is slick with it, making his hair curl and stick to his forehead and cheeks. His skin is flushed red, heart hammering. Blood pounds in his ears.

Logan's rut is the only reason he doesn't hear the front door to his apartment unlock and open. His couch is facing away from his front door so Logan doesn't see Wade enter. Logan has no idea Wade is even in the room with him until Wade is suddenly standing in front of him.

Startling, Logan looks up and sees that Wade is talking. Of course Wade is talking. Wade is never NOT talking.

Logan is not listening. Instead, Logan takes Wade in, eyes roaming up from his narrow waist to his broad shoulders to his charming smile. Logan's nostrils flare with a deep inhale, drawing in the stench of the other man.

Only, Wade doesn't stink.

Right now, Wade smells familiar. Like part of Logan. Wade said something about being experimented on, maybe Logan's own genes gave Wade his healing powers. That thought passes as quickly as it comes when Logan reaches out, grabs Wade by the hips, and pulls him closer. Like this, Logan can lean forward and bury his face into Wade's stomach. He draws in another deep breath.

This close, Wade smells like laundry detergent and those fucking sour gummies he's been hooked on and Al's perfume and a thousand fucking cells dying all at once and healing all at once and–Wade smells amazing.

“Whoa there, Scent Kink, watch it–”

Logan shoves his hands up Wade's shirt, growling.

And Wade continues talking as he slaps at Logan's wandering hands, “Usually, I like to talk extensively before any hands go under any clothes–”

In one quick move, Logan grabs Wade by his waist, lifts him, spinss him, and pins Wade down onto the couch. Wade lets out a startled sound even as the blade of his little knife stabs Logan in his side.

“Ow, fuck!”

“You deserved it!” Wade argues, “I came over here–with soup!–because I heard you were sick and this is how you repay me?!”

“Sick?” Logan's mind is swimming with the smell of Wade, the feel of his body pinned below, “Soup?”

Then Logan glances aside to where Wade's paper bag of groceries landed. The contents inside are spilled out, now: cold medicine, gatorade, and three cans of soup.

“...Cream of mushroom? Really?”

“It's a 7/11! The choices were limited!” Wade defends, drawing Logan's attention again, “And no offense, but you look like you need it,” Wade lifts his hand and lays it across Logan's forehead, “Oh man, you're on fire.”

Logan can't help the soft moan that leaves him, can't help but lean into the cool touch of Wade's palm. Then Logan catches himself and jerks back.

“Wade, you can't be here. I'm not sick. I'm in my rut.”

Silence falls as Wade stares up at Logan with a look of complete bafflement.

“Your what?"

“My rut.”

Wade blinks away his surprise. Then he looks down Logan's body, to where Logan is stiff in his jeans. Wade lets out a startled, slightly hysterical, giggle.

“What is this? An omegaverse fanfiction? Next you're going to tell me you're an Alpha or something.”

Hearing the word Alpha directed at him and coming from Wade's mouth flips some kind of switch in Logan's brain. Logan grabs Wade's wrists and shoves his arms down onto the couch. Then Logan uses his knee to shove Wade's legs apart, making room for himself between.

“Whoa! Slow your roll, sexual predator, the homoeroticism has been restricted to subtext only.”

Logan's mind is swimming with the need to claim, mate, breed so Wade's words don't register. Logan uses his weight to press Wade down in place as he lays over the other man. Then he shoves his face into Wade's neck, breathing him in deeply.

Wade lets out a nervous sounding laugh, tugging on his arms.

“Wolvie, buddy, I'm gonna need you to let me go.”

Against his hard cock and through his jeans, Logan can feel Wade squirming restlessly. His knees are trapped on either side of Logan's waist but that doesn't stop Wade from trying to kick Logan away. Logan only presses Wade down with more force, growling. His hard length pushes against Wade and Wade jerks against him.

“Logan!”

The sound of his name throws Logan out of his Alpha stupor. Hearing distress in Wade's voice has Logan practically leaping away from the other man. Logan stumbles to his feet.

“Fuck,” he gasps, a shaky hand scrubbing through sweaty hair, “Fuck! Wade, I'm almost fully into my rut. You can't be here, it's dangerous.”

Wade gives Logan an offended look.

“I can handle myself, thank you very much. And what exactly is a rut? Because you're hard,” Wade looks down again, “And I guess you're a grower because I definitely would have felt that when we were chained together–”

“Wade,” Logan barks, “Do you not have Alphas in your world or something?”

“No. No we do not.”

Silence. Then.

“Fuck this. I'm not explaining this shit right now. Get out. I'll be fine in a few days. A week, maybe. Just leave me alone.”

X-Men playlists Pt. 2!

I have had this in my drafts for SO long. Here's a part 2! Includes some bonus characters- Nightcrawler, Bishop and Deadpool (know he's not an X-men character but I had ideas for him.

Scott- Piano man by Billy Joel (defo does a karaoke rendition of this song with Logan and Morph on harmonica), Would you fall in love with me again from Epic: The Musical, City of Stars from La La Land, You spin me right round by Dead or Alive, Scotty doesn’t know by Lustra (wonder why this is here hmmmm…), Mr. Loverman by Rick Montgomery, Crazy little thing called love by Queen. 

Gambit- Ma Meillure Ennemie by Storme (French and a lil sad), Born with a broken heart by Damiano David, Pretty Please by Dutch Melrose, Fuck her gently by Tenatious D, The Shadow of love by the Damned, Down in New Orleans by Dr. John and Out the window by Bowling for soup (makes too much sense). 

Logan- Always on my mind by Elvis Presley (tie between this and Jailhouse Rock), Put your head on my shoulder by Paul Anka, Goodbye yellow brick road by Elton John, Sympathy for the devil from Rolling Stones, Carry on my wayward son by Kansas, If you seek Amy by Britany Spears (A. Guilty Pleasure song and B. I follow the headcanon he enjoys partners across the mansion so is passed around like a blunt), I’d do anything for love (but I won’t do that) by Meatloaf. 

Rogue- Before he cheats by Carrie Underwood, Backwoods Barbie by Dolly Parton (I know Rogue isn’t exactly wearing push up bras and heels but it gives her vibes), Sally’s song from Nightmare before Christmas, Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Ray, Burnin’ Love cover by Wynonna, Gunpowder and Lead by Miranda Lambert and Couldn’t make it any harder by Sabrina Carpenter (this song is ROGUE’S!!!)

Jean- Hold my hand by Lady Gaga, End of Beginning by Djo, Girls on Film by Duran Duran, Rise like a phoenix by Conchita Wurst (I said I’d avoid The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy!!), Rocket man by Elton John, Dog days are over by Florence and the machine and Around here from the 9 to 5 musical (this feels like a whole intro to being an X-men with Jean being Violet and some poor schmuck being Judy). 

Storm- Go your own way by Fleetwood Mac, One last time by Ariana Grande, Where have you been by Rihanna (I feel like she’d kick ass at this song on Just Dance), I’m every woman by Chaka Khan, Bulletproof by La Roux, She wolf by Shakira and Goddess by Laufey (I feel this song is really Storm coded!)

Hank- Misty Mountains from the Hobbit, Window shopping in New York by Fly Guy Five, My way of life by Frank Sinatra, Dream a little dream of me cover from Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, Vincent by Don McLean (a good song about an influential artist, what’s not Hank coded  about that?), The Plagues from Prince of Egypt soundtrack (I feel like him and Kurt would watch this film together every so often!) and Don Quixote: Act 1: Quiteria and Basillio (I loved Beast and Carly’s relationship from the original cartoon, this gives me them vibes)

Jubilee- Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan (probably anything by this woman or Sabrina Carpenter), If I Can’t Dance by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Firework by Katy Perry, Bad reputation cover by Avril Lavigne, Say so by Doja Cat, Bubblegum bitch by Marina and the Diamonds and Dirty car by Studio Killers (Most studio killers songs give me Jubilee vibes!)

Morph- If we were gay by NSP (them x Logan vibes), One of your girls by Troy Sivan,  A Human’s touch by TWRP, Code by Nemo (of course I had to include a non-binary singer!), G.U.Y. by Lady Gaga, Cartoons and Vodka by Jinx Monsoon (I think Morph and Jubilee would watch Drag Race a fair bit) and So good right now by Fall Out Boy.

Bonuses- 

Kurt- I will wait by Mumford and Sons, 99 Luftballons by Nena (an obvious choice but!!), Break my stride by Matthew Wilder, Take on me by a-ha, Through Heaven’s eyes from Prince of Egypt soundtrack (anything from this movie really but this one makes me think of his talk with Gambit in X-Men ‘97), Don’t go breaking my heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee and I’m still here from Treasure Planet. 

Bishop- Heartbeat by Childish Gambino, Danny don’t you know by Ninja Sex Party (Morph introduced him to this and it’s the only song of NSP he likes), Angry by Rolling Stones. Don’t think he’d be that into what we would see as modem music hence the shorter list. 

Wade- FYI I wanna F your A by Ninja Sex Party (I’m a Poolverine shipper so this is targeted specifically at Logan), it boy by bbno$, Hot to Go by Chappell Roan, U know what’s up from Turning Red (very much NYSNC vibes), Off my face by Maneskin, Don’t Cha by Pussycat Dolls and Give it to me by the Northern boys (Morph and Wade would love this band imo).

*peers into bowl*

Huh. Pizza soup? Well, that’s a first for me, Anon. Never heard or seen it before. Looks and smells good though.

Thank you!

I’m Not Too Heavy, Right? — Soup x Reader

🔹 Fluff🔹 F!Reader🔹 Body Insecurity🔹 Soft Reassurance🔹 Reader Gets Lifted🔹 Gentle Chaos from Soup🔹 Romantic + Playful🔹 Affirmation Overload🔹 Request 🦋

You tried not to stare, but… it kept happening.

Every time you scrolled past another video of a girl being lifted like she weighed nothing—over the shoulder, bridal style, just straight-up hoisted into the air like a feather—it made something ache in your chest. Not in a sad way. Just… longing. Quiet longing. You didn’t need some big cinematic moment. You just wanted to feel that kind of softness. That kind of security.

But you never said anything.

Because in your head, you already knew the answer. Soup was strong, yeah. Stupidly strong. The man could probably lift a fridge if someone dared him to. But you? No way. You weren’t small, dainty, light-on-your-feet. You were soft. You had weight. And even though you never hated your body, the idea of trying to recreate one of those sweet TikTok moments made your stomach twist with anxiety.

You could already hear the awkward grunt he’d make trying to lift you, followed by a strained “babe I think I need to call a chiropractor.” So, you kept it to yourself. At least… you thought you did. “Okay, what’s going on in that head of yours?” Soup asked suddenly from the other side of the couch, his tone playful but laced with curiosity. “You’ve been lookin’ at me like I stole somethin’.”

You blinked, startled. “What? I’m not.” “Yes, you are,” he said immediately, pointing at you with narrowed eyes. “That’s your thinkin’ face. The same one you had when you tried to decide if frozen grapes count as a healthy snack.” You cracked a small smile. “They do.” “Debatable.” He smirked. “Now spill. What’s up?” You paused, thumb grazing the edge of your phone, screen still open to the video you’d been watching for the third time. “It’s dumb.”

Soup shifted closer. “I’ve never once called anything you told me dumb. Even when you said you wanted to try dipping french fries in milkshake and barbecue sauce.” You laughed under your breath. “That was a moment of weakness.” “That was a moment of culinary war crimes.” You rolled your eyes, but your heart was thudding now. You could feel his eyes on you—genuine, curious, waiting.

And it just… slipped out.

“It’s just those videos,” you mumbled. “You know, the ones where the guy picks up his girlfriend all smooth and easy and she’s giggling and being flung around like she weighs nothing. I thought it’d be cute. But I’m—” You hesitated, voice softening to barely above a whisper. “I’m too heavy. It wouldn’t work.” Silence. Not awkward, but still enough to make your throat tighten.

Until you heard him whisper: “You’re joking, right?” You blinked. “What?” Soup looked at you like you’d just said the sky wasn’t blue. “You? Too heavy? Babe, are you actually outta your mind?” “I’m not trying to make it weird—” “No, no—listen to me.” He scooted closer, placing both hands on your thighs, his voice low but dead serious. “Do you really think I wouldn’t pick you up if you wanted me to? That I couldn’t?”

You opened your mouth, then closed it. Shrugged. His brows knit, and his tone dropped even softer. “You really think that’s something I’d ever be weird about?” Your chest ached a little at how sincere he sounded. You didn’t answer, because the words felt too heavy in your throat. So instead, he spoke for both of you. “I love you. All of you. You’re beautiful. Soft. Warm. The way you make me feel when I’m with you? It’s heavier than anything I could carry, and I do it every damn day, happily.”

You looked up at him, stunned. He smiled softly. “Now gimme a damn hug. And get ready, ‘cause I’m about to lift your pretty ass whether you’re ready or not.” “Dallas—wait—” Too late. He shifted, arms sliding around your waist with ease, and before you could blink, you were off the couch and in his arms like you belonged there. And—god, it felt safe.

It felt effortless. You gasped softly, half laughing, arms instinctively wrapping around his shoulders. “You—you’re actually doing it!” “Damn right I am,” he grinned. “And if I throw out my back, I’ll do it again.” You burst into laughter, burying your face in his neck as your cheeks burned.

“I’m not too heavy?” you mumbled. Soup nuzzled into your temple, his voice warm and firm. “Babe. You feel perfect in my arms. Don’t you ever doubt that again.” He slowly sat back down with you still in his lap, one hand stroking your back while the other cupped your cheek. “You know,” he murmured, grinning mischievously, “I could’ve done that over-the-shoulder caveman-style, but I figured I’d start with something romantic before I start draggin’ you around the house like a sexy sack of potatoes.”

You snorted so hard it made your stomach ache. “I hate you.” “You love me.” “Unfortunately,” you sighed, smiling into his chest. “Damn right.” He kissed your forehead gently, holding you close like you were something priceless.

And later—when the guys hopped on Discord and Soup mentioned it casually with a smug, “Yeah, y’all should’ve seen her face when I scooped her up—she looked like she ascended”—you groaned, buried your face in his hoodie, and tried not to smile too wide.

Because yeah… it was dumb. But it also meant the world.

Random Individual Hermit Head-cannons

Xisuma: Voidwalker

Keeps pictures of his favorite moments from each of the hermits' first seasons.

Void searched for Pearl and Jimmy specifically. Did this right after Grian explained his backstory and that he didn’t know if his siblings were alive.

Adopted both Mumbo and False in season two, but at separate times. They don't talk about it much though. ______________________________________________________________

VintageBeef: Cow hybrid

Makes the best deviled eggs anyone has ever tasted. ______________________________________________________________

Mumbo: Had a phase where he was a bunny hybrid (have a shpeel about it but that's too long for this post)

If she can't plays at least one T-Swift song on a road trip. Then she's the only artist the car gets to listen to when heading back home.

Protective as heck when she finds out someone's sick. (Nurse mod Gem activates)

Harder punches mean more love, and Gem is, according to many, a 'very affectionate' hermit. >:D

Twin of Fwhip, sister of Sausage. ______________________________________________________________

Bdubs: Hybrids- Bug, Glare, Horse

Can NOT have energy drink. Will be constantly building, and answering anything via screaming. Not to mention, won't be able to shreep. ______________________________________________________________

Can actually hover, but usually forgets about the ability.

When needing in a tight space, will create a whisp of fire that he will then possess to fly into that space.

Cried for at least an hour whenever a Ravager died in DO2.

Freaked out when Pearl first tried to eat a red-stone torch and immediately taught her red-stone safety, as well as started using it. (Wants to be a good influence <3)

Can play just about anything on kazoo.

Will NOT play Star Wars or Disney songs on the kazoo. ______________________________________________________________

Zedaph: Sheep hybrid.

Big Chappell Roan fan

Sunburns easily

Knew Impulse would be his best friend after that moment.

Can do a great Doodlebob impression

Cast out of heaven for being bad at making things. Not just alive things. All things.

The last straw for them was when he tried to make a Tasmanian devil. He did not know what a Tasmanian devil was. . . . He still does not know what a Tasmanian devil is.
