#she wants literally everything he has even if she doesn't like it

[cod-dump]

Can you please do TF141 and how they laugh?

How they laugh:

Gaz: The prettiest, charming, addictive, most infectious laugh. He has people grinning from laughing, making them feel giddy as he does. Literal prince laugh that makes you swoon. This laugh will make someone fall in love with him.

Ghost: He has two laughs. A deep, macho laugh that matches his overall size and appearance. The kind of laugh that you picture to come out a man like him. Then you have the other laugh, the laugh only his closest friends and loved ones hear. It's manical, mad scientist laugh. If he laughs too hard he starts snorting while cackling.

Soap: Loud, full belly laugh. He laughs with his whole being. Sometimes if he laughs too hard he starts choking, and he continues to try to laugh as he chokes. It's funny and concerning. Pulled a muscle from laughing too hard, no one will let him live it down.

Price: Deep, baritone laugh. Sometimes sounds like a growl before you can tell he'a laughing. This laugh hits your soul before your ears. It's a polite laugh, he tries not to get too loud or laugh too hard. If he laughs too hard he coughs.

Nikolai: He also has two laughs: The loud laugh and the polite sounding "I'm smiling but I'm going to fucking kill you" laugh. His first laugh shakes the room, it's shocking but charming. The second laugh isn't loud, sometimes not very noticeable, but it's bone chilling. No one wants to hear the second laugh.

Laswell: A rough, low laugh. She doesn't giggle, she chuckles. Sometimes it's a completely silent laugh, she can't breathe and she's wheezing. If she laughs too hard she also starts coughing, but the laughter persists so she might die over a dumb dad joke.

Farah: Has two laughs: The professional "I'm in charge" laugh, and her real laugh. Her first laugh is akin to a superhero laugh, just not as boisterous. It's proud, confident. Her second laugh is just teenager girl giggles. Only her closest friends and loved ones even know the second exists let alone hear it.

Alex: Charming, high school popular boy. Sounds like he's faking a charming laugh but it's his real laugh. Dimples and everything. Loud, captivating. It's immediately a loud, belly laugh. Sounds like someone just started up a recording and then hits pause. He's very in control of it.

Alejandro: Has two laughs: Polite, professional, a bit sexy. The second one he sounds unhinged yet still sexy. He's charming all around, even when he's thinking about killing someone while grinning at them.

Rudy: Rarely laughs, truly laughs. Usually has a small, quiet chuckle, something charming and socially acceptable. But his real laugh is like a hyena. Sounds like he's going insane, a bit scary. It starts off quiet, too, so no one can tell what's coming until it's too late.

Graves: Classically charming. Actually not very laugh, even when laughing hard. He's all teeth when laughing, grinning like a madman. The kind of laugh you expect from the love interest in a rom-com, something that's immediately supposed to make you love him.

Date Everything characters with a player who has selective mutism part 2

Characters: Dolly, Dasha, Mateo, Airyn, Dorian, Luke Nukem

(The reception to part one was lovely, thank you for all the kind words! This was written as a form of self comfort so to see others finding comfort in my writing is really lovely. As with my first part, this was written based on my own personal experience with selective mutism so it might not apply to everyone.)

Dolly

Aren't you just the sweetest thing?

Likes quiet, gentle types as they aren't pushy or tumultuous.

You're her favorite student: a fantastic listener, always willing to learn, writing down your questions for her.

She loves that you try to engage in discussions with her even when you can't find the words to say out loud; a pencil and paper are good for more than just taking notes after all.

You are the perfect research partner to take to archaeological sites because you approach things with respect and quietude. She finds that she actually enjoys these trips more when you're there to hear her thoughts and theories.

If you feel confident enough to share your own insights she will nod along encouragingly, praising your good ideas and gently correcting you on the more farfetched ones.

Appreciates how reflective you are, it makes for more stimulating intellectual conversations as she knows you consider your words thoroughly before speaking.

It may take you a while to become comfortable talking to her as her intelligence and self assured demeanor can be intimidating at first, but with enough reassurance she manages to get you to open up.

Enjoys quiet intimate moments with you, especially reading together with Lint Eastwood snuggled between you.

Gives excellent pep talks when you're feeling low.

Dasha

Thinks you are absolutely adorable.

Explain your situation to her and she understands immediately.

Steps up right away: you want to write instead of speaking? Dasha will write too! You want to help another object but are too anxious to talk to them? For all intents and purposes, Dasha's your voice now! Want help becoming more confident when speaking? Dasha's great at helping!

Uses practice dates as a way to improve your social skills.

If you manage to talk your way through the date, even if it's just a little bit, she'll be so pleased with you: you're improving, that's great!

Will lift you up and try to make you giggle and/or squeal. It's not her fault you make the cutest little noises.

When she notices you've been smiling and vocalizing more around her, her heart swells. She's seen all the effort you've put into improving yourself for the sake of everyone in the house and she's deeply touched by that.

When you finally work up the courage to ask her on a proper date she's the speechless one, you've never seen someone turn so red. She accepts of course, she would be a fool not to after how many times she's fantasized about this moment.

It's almost impossible to feel sad or insecure with Dasha around, she's always there to pick you up (literally and figuratively; often both at the same time).

If you're able to speak to another dateable on your own, brace yourself for the biggest bear hug imaginable. In her eyes, every word spoken is a huge leap of progress and she couldn't be more proud.

Mateo

Takes him no time at all to understand and grow accustomed to your silent manner.

He takes a very gentle approach when interacting with you, always incredibly patient with you and your needs.

Never makes you feel pressured to vocalize. He's happy to communicate in whichever way is most comfortable to you.

Admires how you push yourself to help others even if you're too anxious to talk to them.

Especially grateful when you set aside time to help with the inanimals.

In your silence you have grown very observant and attuned to your surroundings, so finding Davi when he runs off is a breeze. You actually find it quite fun to focus on a task that doesn't involve talking to others. After you return with Davi Mateo becomes especially soft with you. You're something special (not to mention cute) and he doesn't want to let that go.

Interacting with animals has always been easier for you; there's less expectation or judgement. Because of this you're able to speak to the inanimals without trouble: cooing at them, telling them they've done a good job, comforting them when they get hurt. In fact, while he's heard you say a few words here and there, this is how Mateo first hears you properly speaking:

One of the smaller inanimals snagged a thread on a piece of furniture and you were patching them up, soothing them with your soft, sweet voice and delicately placing them back onto the ground with a cheerful 'Good girl!'

That's the moment it truly sunk in just how precious you'd become to his world.

You're still in that state of comfortable affection when you look up at him and say hello. He can't help the adoring smile that crosses his face as he pulls you into his arms, thanking you for helping out his little friend.

Doesn't patronize or make a big fuss about you talking, although his smile does seem just a bit brighter when you do choose to use words instead of silent communication.

You find yourself naturally becoming more vocal with him as the time goes by, conversations don't leave you exhausted, they just seem to flow naturally, and as a result your overall confidence when speaking seems to improve. It's gradual, but you find yourself able to talk to some of the others in the house, especially when you have one of the inanimals with you (they provide a perfect topic for conversation, and a perfect excuse to leave when you start to feel awkward)

Always there to cuddle if you feel overwhelmed, or on days when it feels like your throat's been barricaded shut. You're always at home in his arms. And if he's ever busy, you're free to snuggle with all the inanimals you want (they absolutely adore you).

Airyn

...

She's already in love with you from the moment you meet.

You understand the importance of letting yourself breathe without unsettling the air with meaningless chatter, and that makes her feel seen. Recognized. Respected.

The few words you do speak are spoken with reason and often give her a new perspective to consider, you are thoughtful, you do not waste the air with unnecessary contrivances, you actually interest her. She's always sure to respond.

She only speaks to you when spoken to, otherwise she's happy just enjoying the silence. You feel safe in these silences, enjoying the company of another with out the pressure of words.

Your relationship is a pure mutual understanding. Uninterrupted tranquility.

When you realize her the dynamic shifts entirely, though not in an unwelcome way.

You still never feel the pressure of carrying a conversation, but now it's for the simple fact that even if you wanted to speak you probably wouldn't be able to get a word in.

She can and will talk you to anything and everything, always with the most eager, dreamy smile on her face, not just because she enjoys talking, but because she enjoys talking to you. She's truly beautiful like this.

If you want to shut her up for a few seconds just give her a kiss. It's always sure to leave her breathless, in a way she never thought could feel so good.

You use those few moments of quiet to let your own voice be heard, and heavens above is that her favorite sound (she can't wait to tell you all about it once you've finished speaking).

But for now she'll listen. She never forgot how to listen.

Dorian

So incredibly understanding.

Never pushes you to speak if you don't want to.

One of the first objects in the house you feel comfortable speaking to: the upfront way he offered his friendship right from the get-go made you feel safe, like you'd already known him for a while (which you sort of did, in a technical sense).

He always seems to know what you need from him whenever you approach. Your questions get answered without you having to ask them.

Admires your willingness to help others and the courage it takes for you to push aside your anxieties when doing so.

You have a very difficult time saying no and expressing boundaries and thus often find yourself feeling cornered into doing things you'd rather not. But don't worry, Dorian has become quite adept at reading your expressions and body language and will immediately step in if he notices you looking uncomfortable.

Quite protective: he doesn't want you being used by the wrong sort.

If you whisper to him that you need his help with someone he'll be right there at your side, ignoring the fluttery feeling he always seems to get at the rare sound of your voice - this proof of your trust in him.

A steadfast companion, not to mention incredibly soft on you - he finds your gentle and friendly, albeit hesitant, approach to others endearing.

Once you've interacted with all of his forms he can no longer deny the strong attachment he's formed to you; the genuine kindness and patience you've shown, the dedication to truly getting to know him despite your anxiety, you have no idea how much that all means to him.

He feels fulfilled in the knowledge that you trust him deeply, and he can trust you just the same.

Luke Nukem

Definitely thinks it's some cool 'silent killer' thing. He barely even bats an eye.

Encourages you to write all your notes to him in code (yes you do spend a full session with him inventing your own secret code; can't risk any swarmers deciphering your communications).

Initially you feel too awkward to explain the true reason for your silence so you play along, and honestly, it's pretty fun. The escapism of stepping outside of yourself and becoming a 'ranger' actually makes the socializing easier.

Luke's authority and... muchness still sort of scares you away from vocalizing, but you'll find your voice eventually.

When he opens up to you following the magnetron incident, you find his vulnerability gives you the courage to speak on your own dishonesty/omissions. You express to him the truth behind your silence, the paralyzing fear that comes with talking to others, the heavy loneliness of not being unable to express yourself.

When you turn back to him, his wide eyes are full of tears and before you can speak another word you're wrapped in a bone crushing hug. He babbles into your hair about how he's never met another person who understood the crushing weight of isolation and the terror of not being able to trust those around you (you never know who might be an enemy). You're comrades for life now, ranger; the secret of your voice is safe with him.

Yeah... he still doesn't quite get it but he cares and that's what's important.

He's honored that you trust him with your voice, and only thinks you're even cooler and braver now that he knows your truth (or at least his twisted version of your truth).

Tell him you love him. Go on. Use your pretty voice and tell him. You've never seen a man look so frazzled. He's buzzing. Literally.

Say anything to him and his day get's brighter. No amount of powercrank could give him the high your words do.

(Thank you again for reading! If you want to see any characters in part three let me know!)

[thelazydetectivecat]

Tim looks at the rest of the table. They have read the note and have varying reactions.

Damien was the most hostile one. He is enraged by Tim's stupidity to make a deal with an Eldredge entity and give his father as a sacrifice to save him! Tim you know better than this you would have found another solution out of everything you could do this is it?!

Jason is laughing so hard but it's slowly coming to the realization that his father is supposed to be getting married because apparently his son decided it was a genius idea to give Bruce's hand in marriage in exchange for saving bruce. He's starting to think that this is a plot novel idea and is wondering if Tim did this on purpose.

Stephanie is just laughing she has no remorse but she's also making fun of Tim.

Cass and duke? Their standing there they dont know what to do on one hand it's funny on the other it's extremely serious and they don't know how to react.

Barbara? Is pulling out every source of information she has on the ghost king only to find out that everything is invalid because there's a new one. She's also teasing Bruce.

Alfred is just nodding along saying Tim was making sure that Bruce doesn't die alone. The man at this point is giving up on Bruce ever getting a partner that would actually last. At this point arranged marriage might be a last resort and if the entity ends up being hostile? Well Alfred will handle it.

Dick has his hands on his face looking exhausted as much as he wants to laugh at this he is questioning why his brother went into the occult to save Bruce not that he blames him but he really wishes that he thought this through.

Bruce? It's just sitting there mind a blank he's blue screening. he doesn't know how to react to this on one hand he wants to yell on the other he is questioning if Tim was even mentally okay during that time to even think rationaly

Tim is trying to explain the whole deal and if they don't need to send a gift and the whole deal was made so that the ghost king can have them off his back for us long as possible and the plan never was to give a gift back and to end it until he can find a permanent solution.

Clockwork had other plans.

Bruce looks at Tim and decides he wants more and information about said entity

Everyone in justice league dark is pale about the revelations and proceed to give as much information as he can. Even deadman tries to give information he heard from infinite realm ghost

What does Bruce do? He decides to give a gift back I see watches his children pale looking at him shocked. Can you blame him? Divorce is always an option but he sends it on the condition of going on a couple of dates.

Why did he do it? Because he wants drama and also to figure out said entity and all their weaknesses. Okay maybe also because he learned he had a daughter and was really caring to his people and children. And also because he's the ancient of protection- listen he wants to see if he's too good to be true leave him alone.

---

Meanwhile Danny looks at the gift and sighs.

"Sam.... Tucker... help"

Sam and Tucker who became ancients themselves and took a place in the royal court

"No can do fella" Sam said with all too much mischief

"Come on! Won't you help your friend get rid of a arranged a marriage!"

Danny said in agony

"I don't know what to tell you man this is clockwork we're talking about he's the one who brought it up he obviously knows what's going on and has your best interests at heart and to be honest I'm not dealing with him. I love you bro but he knows too much for me to question him anymore"

Tucker said like he also knows something.... suspicious....

"come on Danny maybe you can try to romance him"

"Sam my last relationship was with you and that was thousands of years ago when we were teenagers"

Danny didn't know what to do anymore it's obvious that his friends know something but what? Normally they're the first ones to defend him even Tucker isn't afraid to sacrifice himself or even fight the literal concept of time for Danny heck he jumped to save Danny from fright knight when they were teenagers! Tucker is definitely not afraid of fighting time so what does he know that he chooses not to? Why do his friends seem into it?!

"come on man you might even consider of having more kids with a partner around don't sell yourself short like that you're older and know what you want back then we were stupid teenagers who didn't know what they want and just saw pretty"

"Sam. Tucker I dated Sam and at first I wasn't physically attracted to her I liked her because we were friends."

"I don't know if I should be offended or complimented but anyways Danny there's a plethora of people in the world heck we're in the infinite realms we're talking about different dimensions here! There has to be at least one person who loves you to death out there. Plus since you're marrying the guy Ellie won't be much of an issue because as far as I can tell he has his own fair share of children"

"Sam I don't like the way you look at me like that how many children does he have"

"6 legally one of them is a ward they have two family friends who might as well be adopted into the family and I'm pretty sure he's slowly getting empty nest syndrome since it's been years since you made that deal with his son and his youngest is a teenager and a few years away from moving out"

Danny chokes. He was not expecting that number but he might need to find the guy and find an arrangement on what he wants he doesn't want to make him feel uncomfortable he should probably make that visit soon to make sure to know what he wants and which lines not to cross he still has a little daughter to take care of damn it.

---

Let this become Bruce with confident yet nervous socially awkward Danny who is a nerd about space so much so that he became the ancient of it.

Let Bruce become infatuated with the the king of ghosts because of how adorable he is let Bruce like Danny because he's awkward but also has a protective spirit and a will that cannot be deterred for the ones he cares about.

With Danny to be reluctant to fall in love with Bruce only to shamelessly rant about how perfect Bruce is despite him claiming that he's not in love yet

Let clockwork laugh and show the future to Tim on how he basically changed his timeline who is now watching this with popcorn and cringing to basically forcing Jason to suffer with him only for Jason to compare it to a romance novel

You know… whenever the "or, we sold your hand in marriage to a demon/supernatural being and they come to claim the engagement" plot comes up, it's always the parents who sell it?…

Let's do the opposite…

The one who "sold" Bruce's hand in marriage was Tim, during the time he was lost in time…

In desperation, madness, and alcohol, Tim decides to stop proving Bruce is alive through evidence. He decides to do so by bringing the bat in front of everyone and saying "I TOLD YOU SO"…

So he searches through the things he gathered during his worldwide adventure and takes a magic book he stole from a cult and proceeds to do what any drunken teenager without supervision does… a summoning ritual…

It works. A completely angry supernatural entity arrives, saying that she doesn't have time to treat him and has to prevent some crazy Eyes from getting him into an arranged marriage…

Tim It illuminates, and after some discussions and negotiations, they reach an agreement…

1) Bruce and the entity enter into an Official Courtship arrangement (something legal enough to avoid the arranged marriage long enough to find a permanent solution).

2) The first "gift" of Courtship from the entity will be to save Bruce from the timestream and any negative effects it may have. If Bruce or his family reciprocate with a "gift," it will become a marriage arrangement.

3) If there is no Courtship gift from Bruce or his family for X amount of time, the arrangement is terminated.

So, their plan was to let time pass and cancel the agreement, because the unofficial arrangement was overtime for the entity.

So Tim gets Bruce and keeps the secret of how he invents any nonsense that sounds believable, hoping the agreed-upon time passes without anyone finding out… unfortunately, last night, a cult just involved the Batfam in a ritual and that ended up counting as a "reciprocal engagement gift"….

…. and Tim just found out from a fluorescent green post-it that appeared in front of him… during breakfast… with his entire family…

bambi!reader

bambi!reader who loves ultra feminine, soft core coquette, babydoll clothes. she wears silk dresses, lace, knitted cardigans, ballet flats, and ruffled skirts.

champagne, blush pink, chestnut, buttermilk

bambi!reader who wears ruffled lace ankle socks with worn-in mary jane’s and only ever wears soft textures, never anything stiff or irritating; she hates to feel enclosed, so loose or revealing clothing that allows most of her skin to be free is best.

bambi!reader who loves scented candles, such as marshmallows or strawberry cupcake. they are always lit in rafe's apartment, leaving it to always smelling sweet.

bambi!reader who is a sweet-tooth girly. loves cinnamon toast, berries, strawberry milk, cupcakes, whipped cream on everything. she also randomly craves applesauce.

bambi!reader who keeps a journal, and writes in it religiously; every morning and night. it holds her hopes and dreams, along with little anecdotes from early on in her and rafe's relationship that she loves to look back on.

bambi!reader who is innocent but not stupid. she doesn't play dumb, she's is just naturally naive, only recently being exposed to harsh things in life, which rafe hates with a passion.

bambi!reader who won't leave his side, no matter what. he literally can't be on his own, especially in his apartment, her trailing behind him and sitting in front of him while he's on the toilet, rambling about her day. he doesn't care, she's his world, he'll listen to anything she says.

bambi!reader who wears a chain with rafe's initial around her neck and never takes it off, tugging and grabbing at it when she's nervous or not around. he bought it for her on their second date, and she hasn't not worn it since.

bambi!reader who bakes for rafe all the time. she dreams to open her own bakery one day, and rafe is more then happy to be the first to taste anything she makes, especially if it ends with him covered in whip cream.

bambi!reader who thinks rafe is a hero; yet he takes bribes, keeps unregistered weapons, grows drugs, and falsifies police reports; especially when he's involved.

His Kiss

Summary: A mis-held belief is denounced, giving way to something better.

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Fem!Reader

Word Count: 1,498

Beta: @princessmisery666

Tears press in her eyes, the argument with Sam over only moments ago, but her decision is made, and he can't change her mind.

Hearing heavy footfalls, her heart beats against its cage. She hoped to have left already and avoid the looming confrontation, but knows she no longer has a choice.

"What's going on?"

The gruff voice rattles her nerves, and she takes a calming breath. Swiping the dampness from her cheeks, she plasters on a fake smile and turns to face him. "Noth-thing." The word comes out broken on a voice pitched too high.

"Doesn't look like 'nothing'." Dean crosses his arms, his demeanor stern but concerned. "Didn't sound like 'nothing'." Looking over her shoulder, he asks, "Where'd Sam go?"

"I don't know. He …he was mad."

"What were you arguing about?"

She's not surprised he heard the shouting, but is a little skeptical that he didn't hear the context. Assuming he's attempting to be kind, she sucks in a breath to steady herself. "It doesn't matter." The intensity of his stare is too much, and she briefly glances at the chair next to her. "I'm leaving."

Dean follows her gaze to find her duffel resting on the seat. He understands now why his little brother would be angry. She must have found a hunt and wants to go by herself. He can't blame the guy. Even though most cases now are simple and quick, the thought of her out there on her own sends his blood pressure soaring. Maybe he can offer a compromise.

"Found a hunt?" He points to the bag, watching her chew on her lip. "You know, it's been a while. I could use a break from this place. Why don't I come with you?"

"NO!"

Her response is swift and sharp, startling him, and he stops mid-turn to look back at her. "No?"

Tears well in her eyes as she shakes her head. "I …I'm leaving." Everything she wants to say to him lodges painfully in her throat. There's no point in voicing those thoughts anyway. She knows exactly what his response will be.

Dean's frame tenses, hands fisting loosely at his sides when she shoulders her bag. She blinks, and the tears spill. He looks devastated, and it feels like her heart just literally cracked with the weight of it all. "I can't stay ...I- I can't be here anymore."

"WHAT?! Wait! What do you mean?" He doesn't know what the hell went down between her and Sam, but he can't let her go, even though he should. "Listen, let me talk to him. Whatever's going on, let me help fix it."

She knew this would be hard, but never imagined it would be this difficult. She assumed he would be relieved and agree it was for the best, rather than trying to keep her from leaving. Vision blurred by the onslaught of tears, she squeezes her eyes closed, willing her emotions to stay in check with the knowledge that the pain in the aftermath of telling him will be worse than what she's feeling now.

With a deep inhale, she opens them to find he's moving toward her and takes a faltering step back. If he touches her, that'll be the end of it …the end of her. Dean immediately stops, hands up in surrender, eyes wary. "You can't." Scrubbing her fingers across her face, she bolsters her courage and states. "You can't fix something that was never there to begin with." Heart now completely shattered, she turns to leave.

Dean panics, narrowly getting a grip on the strap of her bag before she's out of reach. When she jerks to a stop, he steps closer to keep her from falling, loosely resting a hand on her hip. He releases the bag when she wrenches away from his touch, and it slips from her shoulder to land with a heavy thud.

"I'm sorry. I just … I." Running a hand through his hair, he huffs, "My brother's an idiot for letting you go."

She turns, then, the grief ebbing into confusion. "W- what?"

"Don't …" It's all he can manage; the words lodge in his throat. His chest aches, lungs heavy with each breath, heart pounding, muscles taut with anger and fear. She sounds so broken, looks so fragile. All he wants is to scoop her up and hold her together, keep her safe, and show her what she means to him, but he can't. He shouldn't even be thinking about it. Shifting on his feet, fingers flexing at his sides, he stares back at her, letting the silence stretch between them.

When she moves to retrieve her bag, his resolve snaps, overwhelmed by the emotions, he throws caution to the wind. If this is the last moment they have together, then the hell with the consequences.

He grabs her hand and tugs, arm slipping around her waist as he roughly pulls her into him. Her head falls back, lips parted with a gasp at the sudden movement. Cradling the back of her head, he claims the supple pink flesh like it belongs to him, and she offers no resistance.

Knowing this will be the first and the last, he pours his entire heart into the kiss, it's rough and sloppy, but he commits every detail to memory—the race of her pulse as his thumb brushes over her carotid, the sweetness of her honey lip balm, the flutter of her eyelids, the way her hair tickles his palm, the gentle pressure of her fingers as she grips his forearms, the curve of her spine and the small of her back that fits his splayed hand like it was made for him, the soft cry as he pulls away. The guilt emerges swiftly, weighing heavily on his shoulders. Gliding his hands down her arms, he makes sure she's steady on her feet. "Be safe out there," he warns before turning and walking away, needing to drink away his shame and sorrow.

He's gone before she realizes it, too stunned to move or say anything to stop him. The kiss was better than any she ever imagined—he tasted of vanilla, sweet cream, and spicy ginger, notes from the expensive whiskey she bought him lingering on his breath, muscles strong and thick beneath her fingers, lips lightly chapped but plump and pliable, the heady intoxicant of his warmth, spice, and musk, and she hates him for it.

Hates that he took away a dream and created a reality she will never experience again. Hates that now she will compare every kiss to his, wanting only his lips sealed to hers. Why would he do that? Why kiss her like that and then walk away? Tracing a finger over her still-tingling lower lip, she closes her eyes and replays the conversation leading up to the moment.

"Oh." Her eyes pop open as she grips the back of the chair. "OH!"

Dean thinks she's in love with Sam!

She takes a step, then hesitates. What if this is just some cosmic joke? Or a cruel dream? Another step has her tripping over her bag, foot tangled in the strap. The sting of her wrist twisting as she grabs the table's edge to keep from face-planting the floor lets her know she's awake, alive, and this is real.

Once freed, she chases after him. She rounds the corner and sees him entering his room, pushing to a sprint, she nearly misses the doorway as she slides to a stop. Falling into the door as he's closing it, she stumbles into the room.

"What the hell?" He catches her with one arm while preventing the door from slamming into the wall with the other.

"You're," she pants a couple of breaths, "w-wrong." Fisting the front of his t-shirt to help anchor herself, his arm curls her into a loose embrace. "A- about me …and Sam." With a final huff, her breath is steady enough to speak smoothly, "We'll talk about that later, though, because right now, you need to kiss me again."

"What?"

Cradling his face, her heart clenches seeing the tear tracks on his cheeks, but his dumbfounded expression elicits a tentative smile. "I want you to kiss me …again."

"But …"

With a shake of her head, she breathes, "You."

The moment it clicks, his hold tightens, and her smile grows.

Swinging the door closed, the corners of his mouth curl. "Good, because I can do better."

A laugh bubbles in her throat, immediately squelched by a shriek as he spins, pinning her between solid oak and hard muscle. The pads of his fingers are rough, but his touch is tender, thumbs caressing the apples of her cheeks as his hands frame her neck. His head dips, but his gaze catches hers, hungry yet questioning. Without hesitation, she leans forward and closes the gap, hating that he's right.

He can do better, and he spends the rest of the night proving it.

Moon deranged reasons theory

I have a theory that is really quite similar with @1ris5starlight (your theory is awesome pal, I love it so much. I always dream that Dark Sun is still involved somewhere with Sun and Moon lol)

So, we know that in some dimensions, there will be some guy like Oversee or Timelord, that can look through the timeline.

Even Dark Sun, he can manipulate things like that, because he knows information. Because without Dark Sun, even if Nexus still goes insane, he would eventually come back.

Why did I mention it, because Dark Sun at first seems not like KS to kill Moon, but after some event, (Nexus get yeet to death into a different dimension) he doesn't care if Moon lives or dies.

It's like Dark Sun looks into the future and sees Moon get killed actions will not affect the Sun killing Moon across the multiverse.

And now.... KS gets involved with Oversee job too. And why? Because he wants something from Oversee, probably information about the future of some dimensions

But it is the thing, Killer Sun doesn't have a home. He already left his home to hunt Moon, so why does he need it???

And here what I think....

Because of Moon

He wants to kill Moon, that why he needs the information to see the future and to kill Moon, Tsams Moon

Let's look in the past, Moon is an asshole, but he has tried to be better and only dropped his façade for a few moments.

But he tried.

And then what? He suddenly goes back to his old way, aggressively antagonist Sun just because Sun is angry towards him????

Remember Cosmos and Nexus ??? Nexus is aware of Cosmos anger, but he doesn't react that way.

And when all that behaviour becomes obvious? When KS eats 15 years of Moon.

Look, we know after Sun killed Nexus, aside from a wade of Sun killing Moon and being more aggressive, it is random Sun keep dropping in Sun dimension.

Mind you, they literally move into different dimensions, and that still keeps happening.

Everyone knows about Nexus thingy, and everyone knows about Sun and Moon dimension.

Yandere Sun, furry Sun and Moon, gramp Moon....

Fem Eclipse, she does not even pick a dimension, and just randomly gets dropped into Tsams dimension.

It seems like everyone gets attracted into Tsams dimension for some reason.

And this Clone Sun, he suddenly has Sun phone number??? And even know about the fight????

What if, Sun is linked.

What if Sun ability not only finds these shards, but links everything together like a Bluetooth.

What if he and every Sun, has connected a link through dimensions???

So that is why, Every Sun suddenly can kill Moon, because Sun can kill 'The Moon's that threaten his family.

That is why KS couldn't kill Tsams Moon, because Sun still loves that Moon and his code against/prevent Killer Sun from doing that.

So I theory what KS did was make Moon mental grows faster.

Because there is no way Moon can be back in the old way that fast yes? But what if, 15 years happened?

There will be some bit that Moon accidentally let it out right??? KS stolen years from Moon to pushing up with the process of killing him

And with the way things happen, how long until Sun couldn't put up with Moon and hare Moon again?

And when he hates Moon, when his hatred becomes enough to kill, Moon will be getting out of the way by Killer Sun.

What do you think @sabrondabrainrot

[sonoranbumblebee]

Chef wanted the long game; and he didn't want to be a predatory creep, he wanted her safe, and he wanted to honor her...but at what cost?

I do think Syd was meant to be the "green and impatient" one of the pair, as he described in season one. I think she is also wise and patient in some dimensions, but also this description, like everything else on the show, is about sex. Let's stipulate for the record that they could have gone home after that first day and had sweaty sex and it probably would have been great. I think they both sought carnal knowledge of each other from the very beginning.

But we're not roasting. We're braising. It's bone-in. It takes two hours longer, and you have to keep the lid on, and it makes the meat incredibly tender. Or so Carmy tells us.

I'm going to give autistic headcase manbaby chef the benefit of the doubt here. He's older than her. He's been in a lot of kitchens for a long time. He's cooked a lot of dishes. He looks like that. He's no stranger to substances. He has that limp seduction pasta ready to go at all times.

As much as we like to project that he's a totally insecure idiot virgin who never spent a night with a woman before Claire, the man has obviously cooked before. However, I think this is the first time it felt serious from the beginning. Like life or death. And so he begins an epic push-pull with himself in his already very damaged, very traumatized brain, against the backdrop of well over a year of insane stress and pressure.

This isn't going to be a one-night stand, or an experimental thing. He doesn't want to be a fuckboi hot chef with her. He wants commitment. He wants the long term. We see evidence of this in, well, his immediately hiring her, restaurant trapping her literally 45 minutes after he finds Mikey's money, and offering her a partnership with vesting schedule as soon as he thinks the restaurant is actually viable. The vesting schedule draws out the amount of time she has to stay with him before she can secure her full equity.

She is impatient and green. We do see her struggling in the beginning of season 2, building dishes that are too involved, I think in part because of nerves and insecurity, but also green and impatient and also genuinely she needs Carmy, who has abandoned their menu.

Anyway, my point is that even though they're both probably physically ready early on, and he thinks he's ready to put a ring on it, he also thinks she's a wide-eyed woodland creature who is in her first year hunting and foraging away from her parents. She is literally living with her dad when they first meet. She is coded young with her headbands and her guileless "let's fix restaurant I made charts". She can fight off mooks with sandwiches and stab Richie, but I think he thinks she might just be the youngest and most innocent girl he's ever considered hooking up with. Compare to Claire who has the energy of 50-year-old jaded chain-smoking Palm Beach cougar inhabiting a 28-year-old body.

This is where we get the "THEE Sydney Adamu" concept in the fandom. I think this comes from three places, character-wise, in Carmy Berzatto:

1. he has a gut instinct from the beginning that she is pure and good and young and trusting (and he is right!) and he wouldn't put his fingerprints on her and smudge that perfect dish for anything

2. he has been a high-status chef in a lot of kitchens for a long time; he's seen some things. fucking where you cook is bad food safety practice, it's an HR crisis waiting to happen, and maybe it can be great but also a lot of people just disappear because they were sexually harassed or they broke up with the person they have to work with for 10 stressful hours at a stretch. He has a responsibility to the people in that restaurant, to Mikey, to his family, and to her as her executive chef. It could be a disaster if he goes for it like a wild animal, even if they are compatible bears. As Ebra and him agree about the stripper bikini top on the stove "that's not respect." Richie is in charge of HR. The show is entirely cognizant of the "human relations" aspect of running a small family business where not every employee is literally in the family

3. last but not least, and I've written about this before, although it's just starting to emerge in the narrative, I think his daddy issues factor here. I think when Pop Berzatto left Carmy saw in his own house how uncomfortable it can be for a young woman to live with a series of strange men to whom she has no blood tie but who have unlimited access to what should be her safe and secure and private home. The "uncles" who associated with Donna were not all avuncular. Some were bad news. And there was no one looking out for Sugar in this scenario except for Mikey and Carmy who were both kids themselves. I think Carmy wanted, from the beginning, to keep Syd from feeling unsafe with him. that's why no touching, no back rubs, no brushing, no leaning, no comments on her appearance unless he screws up and tells her she looks nice because he's so surprised by the sudden style change he forgets to repress it, no prying into her personal life fishing for information, just zero expression of any kind that he wanted to get closer to her because if that's not what she wants, it's 100 percent awkward and terrible for her to have to deal with that and the aftermath. We saw a textbook case of this when Marcus asked her out. It was weird, she didn't know how to say no smoothly, he got weird back and yelled during service, then they had to do a whole apology cycle.

Finally, after about six months of working on the restaurant he realizes she's graduated from her "residency." She has culinarily matured in his eyes even if that is simply his POV. By "Legacy" is about when he'd finally had it with his original hands off plan. The "maybe I can stall w Claire" plan was a disaster. He's now totally cognizant that he's madly in love with her. He starts writing cookbook in 3x08 or 3x09 (ish) as a backup plan to working at a restaurant with her, he tries to apologize to Claire so he can be with Syd at Ever but he fails so the date fails. He tries to tell her he likes her in 4x01 but she's not receptive because the mixed signals have gotten so loud. The combination of now constant and irrepressible Syd-inspired erections and her perfect scallop that kill any remaining resistance. The person who showed up to the Ever funeral was not a girl, that was a grown woman, and one he desperately wants to claim as his own. She's ready to go out. "Put it up." He's sick of holding himself back. It's time for sure to leave the restaurant, so that gets rid of issues 2 and 3 on the "reasons to not jump Sydney" list above.

He clings to number 1 as long as possible though. He's scared to be rejected yes, but I think he's also genuinely scared of hurting her in some way he probably couldn't even articulate to himself. Which is why he's avoiding telling her about the partnership agreement. He's postponing, but Pete intervenes. And it turns out to be for the good of them long term. The pedestal was killing her.

Threatened with the removal of Carmy from her house, where she's been storing him and where she's been keeping him safe, she reacts just as insanely as he would if she were being pulled away from him by outside forces. In her reaction, he suddenly is able to see that her attachment to him is so great, and thus her pain at a threatened separation is so deep, that she is going to hurt herself if it he doesn't cleave to her at the earliest possible opportunity. The cigarette smoking is a sexual innuendo yes, but it's also a self-harm/self-soothing behavior that emerges immediately. The wailing and the psychologically clawing at him are more evidence. She may in fact be an innocent angel but he's crossed a threshold where not touching her is no longer a grace but is actively harming her.

By the end of that night he literally owes it to her to fuck her through the mattress. Call it sexual reparations. He acted as honorably and respectfully as anyone could imagine for as long as they could stand, but then he pushed her too far and actually now he needs to subtract that defense of her.

The cook is done. The touch starvation is killing them both. In season 5, they finally feast.

"mike chose el instead of will, stop trying to force byler"

he isn't even aware that will is in love with him and needs him the way he wants to be needed, so how could he have possibly made a choice?

he hasn't even been given the CHANCE to explore any other potential romantic relationships or feelings because the writers forced him into a romance at the age of 12 with someone who he became EXTREMELY emotionally attached to and dependent on (and vice versa) due to saving his life during a traumatic time. they both cling to this feeling of safety and security because of how they saved each other AND because they're each other's first relationship. and no, this isn't cute or something to romanticize.

mike doesn't think anyone else on the planet could possibly love him or be a potential partner for him aside from el because that's all he's known and she's the only person he's been in a relationship with. he literally thinks it's ONLY her, hence why he's so insecure and struggles with such severe anxiety at the thought of losing her because he thinks she's all he has and if he's not in a romantic relationship with her that he's absolutely worthless (again, this isn't a romantic or healthy way for a child to think, it's actually devastating).

continuing to force this relationship is only going to make their mental health worse because it enforces the idea that they'll never be able to fall in love with or be loved by anyone else and they must stay in a relationship with each other forever in order to feel good about themselves or they'll be unable to function. that's how their shippers talk about them too, acting like they can never be apart. that's not romantic, that's not "soulmateism", that's just sad.

(i already know people are gonna say byler shippers are “hypocrites” because we think mike and will are the ones that belong together and that we can’t imagine will loving anyone else, but you need to take into account the major differences between both relationships and how mike and will actually understand each other, feel like equals and give each other strength. like of course we’re going to think byler are soulmates because they actually have a healthy relationship and if they were to ever turn romantic, they had years of friendship developing first and didn’t rush into it during a traumatic time after a few days of knowing each other).

people always seem to forget these characters are STILL just teenagers whose frontal lobes aren't even fully developed so i’m surprised at how many people want mike and el to stay together forever despite the fact that they started dating as children, they quite literally have nothing in common aside from shared trauma, they don't talk about anything deep and meaningful, they don't offer each other proper emotional and mental support (i understand they both have their own struggles but still, that's even more reason why they weren't ready to be in a relationship together), they don't feel like equals, they feel inferior to each other and they're so insecure in their relationship to the point where they lie + act like people they're not + spy + break each other's trust and can't even be themselves.

please explain to me how this is romantic. HOW are they supposed to know anything else or make other choices when they think their only option is to be glued to each other? they were forced into a relationship after knowing each other for less than a week. they were literally friends for a FEW DAYS. that's it. their friendship developed for a few days and then it turned romantic. THAT'S ALL THEY'VE KNOWN. and this situation is entirely more concerning when you think about how el literally just escaped a lab and didn't know everything that everyone else her age knew. she wasn't taught or exposed to anything to do with romance and boyfriends, yet she was shoved into romance so quickly before she even had the chance to discover herself.

THE DAILY*/WEEKLY* EAPS, TSAMS, LAES AND FEMNAF REVIEW SHOW!!!

Let's [BEEP]ING GO! GET HIS BUTT, CHARLIE!

Okay, so the episode opens up with Afton torturing Eclipse. He's been slowly pulling apart Eclipse and is trying to get Eclipse to reveal more about his portal tech but Eclipse refuses and Afton just keeps torturing him. Meanwhile Ruin and Tiger Rock are trying to fight off the Mini-Mimics but are losing. Mimic is just watching mocking them on how they'll die.

When BAM! Charlie shows up. She makes the mini-Mimics disappear, saving Ruin and Tiger and then turns her attention to Mimic. With a flick of her wrist Mimic is gone and she turns to Ruin and Tiger Rock and asks "Where's Eclipse?"

Afton knew Charlie was coming and has Eclipse by the throat and a trap set up for Charlie to steal her power... it fails miserably. She just blows up the door and the trap. She's floating there like an angry god on a mission or like Wanda in Endgame when she confronts Thanos.

Afton tries to get Charlie's goat, mentioning how he didn't just kill Henry but how he tortured him, used his agony to make him feel every ounce of pain. Charlie is about to do to Afton what he did to her dad but Eclipse tells her not to cause that's not what her dad would want. Afton tells Eclipse to shut it and that's exactly what Henry would want...

Charlie... doesn't do it. Cause she knows that her dad wouldn't want this. Her hair goes back to black and she stops floating.

Afton loses it. (I'm guessing he wanted her to hit him with her power cause that thing in the Stitchwrait body would have absorbed the power from her. But they that's just a theory... A EAPS THEORY!) Afton throws Eclipse aside and grabs Charlie, shaking her, calling her a stupid, weak, annoying, yada-yada.

Charlie teleports away to Ruin and Tiger Rock. Tiger Rock gets behind Afton and breaks his arms off, leaving Afton literally unarmed.

Charlie explains that she wasn't gonna kill him and didn't even kill Mimic or the mini-Mimics, she just sent them back home. (Good on you, Charlie. I straight up thought you nuked those guys)

She leaves to go get Eclipse leaving Ruin and Tiger Rock with Afton. Ruin can now get revenge on Afton for everything he's done to him and Afton after a bit of mocking says Ruin is worse than he thought and to quote "Show him what a destroyer can do"... and then Ruin... kicks Afton in the head and knocks him out... one kick...

One kick is all it takes to knock this man out! Man, is he pathetic. Just like how all Aftons are!

Charlie reunites Eclipse, helping him stand up. He says it was dangerous of her to come here cause Afton was trying to get her to use her powers. She says she knew about Afton's trap and asks if that's why he was worried?

He says no. It's cause he knew Henry wouldn't want her to kill anyone. He was respecting Henry's wishes.

She hugs Eclipse cause well.. he's the last bit of family she has at this point. Seriously, this man is basically her second dad.... and now only. (Cough! Until they put Henry in Lefty's body. Cough!)

Eclipse says they need to get home and after he gives her a quick hug she helps him out of there cause as stated Eclipse was tortured and is missing a foot I think. Like wow, props to the modeler Eclipse looks pretty banged up.

The episode ends there... 4 more episodes remain till the finale. Let's hope they can bring Henry back after all this and everyone can have a happy ending.

Next episode...

Molten... we need to have a talk. You were doing great especially helping Sun get back at Moon...

BUT THEN YOU SHAVE SUN'S HEAD EFFECTIVELY!

(Seriously, how deep a sleeper is Sun? Molten didn't just rip those out. He had to remove Sun's faceplate, remove the pieces in the way of Sun's rays, took out the rays, and then put everything back in place... Sun, you might want to see someone about that. No one should be that heavy a sleeper. You effectively got dissected in your sleep without realizing it.)

So, Sun wakes up to Molten watching him while he sleeps like he's Pearl from Steven Universe and when Sun asks why Molten is all like "My masterpiece is complete." Sun calls for Solar and Jack upstairs and Solar and Jack freeze when they see the sight. (Thankfully they don't laugh)

Sun goes to check on the mirror and freezes in horror as he realizes that now he really is bald.

Sun then starts to chase Molten around the house which I love. Molten genuinely seems scared of Sun and Sun is shouting "Give me my rays back, Molten."

Molten keeps hiding in the basement/Jack's room and Sun keeps trying to get his rays back but Jack points out that Molten can hop across realities and most likely hid them there and they don't know which reality he hid them in.

Sun asks Solar to get him some new rays but he points out that, technically their models don't exist here and they're discontinued in the main universe so he'd have to make them. Sun asks him to and Solar says he will... if Sun watches Jack for a week or two and Sun reluctantly agrees.

(I have a feeling the reason why Solar asked this was to have someone watch Jack in case he doesn't come back cause Solar is most likely going after Overseer in the next few days. He did steal 20 bucks from Sun though. Not cool, Solar. Your Eclipse is showing)

Jack goes to steal a Ferrari or something, Solar goes to do something else and Sun chases after Jack.

Literally everyone (except Sun and maybe Jack) is a butthole in this episode. Molten what the heck?! You were helping Sun a few days ago! Why are you shaving his head like Moon wanted! Solar, have Terra and Monty watch Jack! Not your brother who just found his thirteen reason again! I swear. Jack has an excuse cause he's a dumb kid, but what's Molten and Solar's? Cause Sun is either gonna crash out and kick Moon, Solar, and Molten out of the family or he's gonna join Dark Sun. Stop it. I don't think any of you want to explain to Terra why Sun can't come to her and Monty's wedding cause he left this reality cause you all were butts to him like Moon.

Knock it off. (Real talk: I really hope the actors do a Sun is Done episode. I want Sun to just be done with Moon and tell him, they can live together, they can run the business together, they can even act friendly towards each other, but they are NOT BROTHERS ANYMORE. And if Moon does something Sun doesn't like, he will call Moon out on it and if Moon does something to Sun that Sun doesn't like he will do something back to Moon. I hope they lead up to something like that cause their is no easy fix to what Moon did. He needs the Lunar/Cosmos treatment like what they all did to Lunar when he hurt Earth/Terra)

Next episode...

Oh, thank gosh, a more peaceful one. So, we have Lunar, Earth, Andromeda, and Puppet playing the Game of Life together. Lunar is stinking at it as the thumbnail shows.

I'm happy we got the gaming videos back. Even if it's just once in a while. I just want the actors to have a little break every now and then from the lore. Besides I do love the gaming videos. Even if I don't watch them all the time, I still love them.

And now on to FEMNAF...

*Cricket noise*

Oh, they didn't post today. That's fine.

I actually like FEMNAF's upload schedule more than the other channels cause I NEED A BREAK SOMETIMES.

I have to watch four different shows everyday and it gets a little... not annoying just... repetitive?

It's nice when we get little breaks from uploads. Plus, it gives the actors time to rest. I want them healthy and happy. Not stressed and tired.

Take more breaks guys. Please. For your and our sakes.

Still ya though.

11/10! Afton finally got his and Sun is depressed... again.

I smell a crashout coming soon or the return of Dark Sun

[antlerqueensab]

officer!travis headcannons modern day, no crash

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･

▏He has absolutely 1000% arrested Natalie before. On at least two different occasions.

▏He's been a cop since he was around 22 and is about 34 or 36 now, so he's been in the force for around 12 years.

▏The idea to actually be a cop was his dad's, since Travis didn't play any sports or anything, Bill sort of coerced him into picking a "manly job." Since it was his senior year and everything, Travis just dealt with it and decided to humor his dad to get him off his back. Surprisingly, he actually really liked the idea after he started the application process and everything.

▏When he hit his 8th year in the force, the department assigned him with a freshly trained German Shepherd for his K-9 unit. Colt — the department named him, Travis didn't have a say — was only around a year and a half old, since that's usually around the time puppies are done with the K-9 training.

At first, Travis didn't want to live with a puppy since officers are required to care for their assigned dogs; his only experience with having a pet was when his mom got a stupid orange housecat after Javi was 2, and the cat absolutely hated Travis. But, around a week after getting Colt all settled into his house, Travis learned he was very much a dog person.

Stereotypical for a cop, yeah, but he didn't really care much.

▏He lives alone (obviously) — with the exception of Colt — in a neighborhood about ten minutes away from his childhood home. It's a normal two-story house with two bedrooms. He doesn't need much space, but since he's a cop, obviously, he makes enough money to afford a nice house for himself after saving for a bit.

▏Absolutely despises the petty calls where older women just complain about any and everything just to get told they were right. They never are.

— There was one time a woman called about kids on her street being nuisances and disrupting her time with their screaming, and Travis showed up unwillingly just to find out that there was a small birthday party happening for a younger kid. He gave the woman a warning about making false reports and that she could be charged with something, which just ended up with her huffing and storming back into her house.

When he got done with that conversation, a kid who couldn't be over the age of four asked if he wanted a piece of cake. He let the group of kids pet and play around with Colt for about five minutes since it was a slow day, and he didn't get any other calls.

▏A few of the guys he knew from school became cops a few years after he did. It was sort of a trip, being a superior officer to guys who literally used to bully him, but he absolutely loved making them do stuff.

▏Definitely the type of cop that moms thirst over, and he doesn't even notice it. He's not a man who gets flirted with often, mainly because he's oblivious and doesn't realize women are actually interested in him. He'd been the loser in school; no girls actually wanted to go out with him or anything, so it was an absolute shock when one of the other officers was asking why he didn't flirt back with the mom they'd just talked to.

▏His mom is very proud of him for making a good name for himself and earning a respected job. She calls him at least once every other day to ask him how his life is and if he needs anything. He usually doesn't, but he lies and says he does just so she feels useful.

▏Got Javi into the cadet program once he turned 17 and got assigned as the officer to do ride-alongs with him. Javi has absolutely no plan of being an officer, but he just did it so he could hang out with Travis and see what it was like being a cop.

[nalyra-dreaming]

Hello. Firstly I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. You have such in depth knowledge and understanding about the story and the characters, I get many of my insights from you. I really appreciate your presence in the fandom. Thank you 😊

I saw an anon post sometime back who was talking about how Lestat was killed as a consequence to his wrongdoings whereas Armand was just thrown against the wall and they were not happy with that difference and you agreed with them.

I just wanted to give you my POV of it. Bear with me a little.

I had a similar reaction to the situation but now I feel it was quite apt in the case considering the person who was central to it : Louis.

What Louis did to Lestat was equal amounts of love and hate. I know that hate is often associated with a negative connotation in relationships but in my opinion, hate is a very intimate and passionate emotion in itself. You don't feel true, genuine hate for everything and anything. Its singular and personal.

Louis slitting Lestat's throat while hugging him adoringly with pain and after Lestat bleeds out, Louis sitting on the floor with Lestat's head against his chest, crying out for as long as he could was the biggest love letter from him. Lestat understands that as well. Lestat dies and Louis is alive but Louis also dies with him that night. A twisted Shakespearean tragedy. Romeo and Juliet in their own way.

Whereas Armand doesn't deserve that passion, that intimacy from Louis. The opposite of love isn't hatred as is widely thought, its indifference. Louis has never felt strongly for Armand. Neither passion, neither love so why he should he have his hatred. Louis by the end does not even care to give a reaction to Armand because Armand is not significant or important for his emotions. He never was, never will be. The foundation of 77 years with Armand was always Lestat. It was never about Armand and it won't be about him.

Its literally the I love you parallel. Louis has never said the 3 words to Lestat but everyone knows he is the love of his life.

On the contrary, no matter how many times he says I love you to Armand, called him the love of his life, everyone knows, even Louis knows its a joke.

So i feel that the reactions to both Lestat and Armand was based on how deeply Louis feels for both of them.

I would love to know your perspective on this.

I think you explained it very well, and it is perfectly in line with what our cast has said during the SDCC, too.

As such, the indifference Louis showed Armand there IS what hurt him, true.

However... I am not so sure if the "murder night" scene will still stand after s3. We are still missing the revisit to that, and Claudia's diary does not match.

I think the scene where Louis slits Lestat's throat almost lovingly... is the version he told himself / was told to cope.

It is a bit like in the church - Louis tells us he stabs Lestat's back, right? But shortly after the stab wounds (and even the holes in Lestat's vest) are gone.

Both things are likely things Louis wanted to have happened in those scenes, or was told he did so he could cope better (he "fought against Lestat", he "held the knife")... book canonically Claudia stabbed Lestat, and slit his throat, while Lestat called out for Louis.

Twelve times, if I remember correctly.

“ ‘Stay back!’ she said again. And now she slid off the couch and approached him, peering down into his face as he had peered at the child. ‘Absinthe, Father,’ she said, ‘and laudanum!’ “ ‘Demon!’ he said to her. ‘Louis…put me in my coffin.’ He struggled to rise. ‘Put me in my coffin!’ His voice was hoarse, barely audible. The hand uttered, lifted, and fell back. “ ‘I’ll put you in your coffin, Father,’ she said, as though she were soothing him. ‘I’ll put you in it forever.’ And then, from beneath the pillows of the couch, she drew a kitchen knife. “ ‘Claudia! Don’t do this thing!’ I said to her. But she ashed at me a virulency I’d never seen in her face, and as I stood there paralyzed, she gashed his throat, and he let out a sharp, choking cry. ‘God!’ he shouted out. ‘God!’

Soooo. We'll see. While I generally agree with you I think the last word on murder night has not been spoken yet.

We have a very well mannered house guest this week. He'll probably be in pictures with Misty while he's here! He's also very cute so like. Solo pictures too

how do i tell my roommate that her cat repeatedly pissing on and destroying my things is something that people usually offer to clean or replace or apologize for instead of shrugging off

[tenwhiteandalusians]

and then no one said anything about the fact that if i watched ONE MORE episode tenax pulls a "i'm not angry i'm just disappointed i'm hurt" about scorpus signing with the white faction.

if dorian didn't show up, do you think louis would have shot minnie?

I do. I know some people think either he wouldn't have or he would've missed so that's why the writers had him shoot Dorian instead, but mmmmmm no, I don't personally think so. I like to think that if he had taken the shot, his shaky hands would've caused him to shoot her fatally.

Mostly because I'm already so normal about the fact that of the Ericson crew, Marlon and Louis are the only ones with a body count. Well, that we know of, but shown to us in the game, at least. Plus, we know it's Louis' first kill.

Like yeah, Clementine and AJ become part of the crew and they have bigger body counts, and if we're counting indirect kills caused by actions, then Tenn has a count... and I guess everyone has blood on their hands for blowing up the boat... but I'm talking about killed directly with a weapon like....... I lied, I'm not normal about that at all, Louis and Marlon are the ones who have killed someone in Louis' route. I'm also not normal about the fact that Louis kills Dorian and then even as he's clearly in shock, he tries to go with Clementine to get AJ, and then later on when they talk about it, he says it feels like bile but not quite and he's glad he has it in him to do it.... listen, listen, listen... I'm obsessed with that.

Anyway, so if Louis shot Minerva, I think he would've accidentally killed her and can you imagine? He's already enough of a mess after killing the woman who pinned him down and tried to cut his finger off [or succeeded] but he knew Minerva, they were friends before the twins were taken. Even Violet couldn't kill her even though that would've been the smarter thing to do, and we know thanks to meta knowledge that killing her would've saved lives, but Violet couldn't, and I don't think Louis would intentionally either.

Speaking of Violet, if Louis killed Minerva, I hate to think about what that would've done to Vi. I think she might've actually left at that point, like what was planned before it got changed to her being burned. I don't think she would've attacked Louis over it, though, like yeah she attacked Clementine in the cell but Louis? I don't know, but I don't think so just because it's Louis and he'd be a mess about it anyway.

Though if he did kill her, it would be a neat parallel to draw... y'know, because Louis forgave AJ for killing Marlon even though he was pissed and heartbroken, and Violet was annoyed with him the entire time... but could she ever forgive Louis for killing Minerva? Y'know? We already have a similar parallel with AJ shooting Tenn, but still.

If Clementine killed Minerva in that moment, though, then I could see Violet attacking her since in her eyes, Clem proved her right.

So yeah, I get why they added the Dorian kill to his route. It adds another compelling element to Louis as a character, but we also need Minerva alive for episode 4; Louis can't kill her, he can't miss, and he's not going to stay with her because we need Violet to stay on the boat and him to be on shore for all routes.
