My mental health

This is nothing to be worried about, nor meant to make anybody reading this uncomfortable. It is simply meant as a way for me to express myself, and practice opening up about my mental health a struggles.

I have ADHD, but it has long been suspected that it might be AuDHD. Along with that I've struggled with PTSD and depression. Just a year ago I had to stop working, due to my works place poor working conditions, making my already exiting PTSD worse, along with pushing me into the second major depressive episode in my life.

I moved out not too long ago, and so far I've been loving living alone, with a few exceptions - I started hearing and seeing things. Yes, it sounds weird, but I started hearing my old washing machine beebing, even though I had moved away from it. I started seeing things out of the corner of my eye.

But though I started hearing and seeing things, one amazing thing happened - I stopped having nightmares. I've long had a pattern of really bad nightmares, especially when stressed or paranoid, and that was beyond amazing. As I lived alone, my mask slowly came off. I noticed behavior and stimming I hadn't noticed before, along with the realisation of just how overstimulated I've been before.

But as amazing and a little confusing as that was, I did experience something, that in the end was enough to push me off of social medias for quite a while - my exams. A lot of things played in on this, but to put it simply; it was horrible. Me and my classmates were stressed, and given a very short time to do our assignment. Along with that, I was in the smallest groupe being only 3 people, while the others were 6 - 7. It was stressfull!

Coupled with that, I've over the past months uncovered something, that was a little shocking to me - I might have developed a personality disorder, and the suspected disorder is BPD. I am in dialog with both doctors about this, but nothing is set for sure. I'm still learning about myself, and just in the past year, my life has been pretty much turned upside down.

Though it has been hard to face these things about myself, it has honestly made many things clearer for me, and made the future seem a lot more brighter for a person like me.

That is why I enjoy places like this, were I can go a forget the world for a time. I can take all the emotions I feel from my day to day and turn them into something, that might benefit others in small ways. I don't change the world, but I can bring a person that little joy they need.

Though I may not be as active as before, I'm truly happy to be back💚

Love ya all, and thank you for sticking around🐢💚

สวัสดีค่ะ Hi telomeke,

I'm new here... just because of you! 😅 Found your blog month ago while I did some BBS research... and I'm really impressed by your research skills, your amazing eyes for details and your patience in finding locations.

Now it happens that in 14 days I am flying to Thailand for 4 weeks. And in preparation for this, I saved alll the locations you mentioned on google maps. 😇 I think, I'll take a tour through Bangkok to all the locations.

I couldn't find out how long ago post no. 12 was and wether there will be any new ones to follow. But I think there is at least one location missing. (the companies of Pat's and Pran's parents)

Are you still searching for locations or is your work completed?

If you are interested, it would be my pleasure to talk to you about the serie. If not, it's fine too. I just wanted to make you compliments for your work! Thank you so much! ขอบคุณมากๆ น่ะค่ะ 🙏 I really enjoyed reading it and I've still many post to read. 😊

Okay, that's it! Hope your fine and still in love with BBS! 💖

เจอกันค่ะ คุณบี see ya, Bee 🐝

Hi dear @honey-beebs! สวัสดีครับ and welcome!😍

Awww, thanks so much for this lovely Ask. Any fan of BBS is immediately a friend in my book. 🥰 Thanks so much for appreciating my BBS research and analysis.

I can tell you also have a keen eye for research, because you saw not just what was there in my location posts, but also what was missing – Pat and Pran's families' shops. 👀 And sadly, that is the one location that I have been desperately searching for over these past two years, but have so far been unable to find. 😭

It's gotten me all worked up because there are actually a lot of clues, and I've been able to deduce quite a lot about the Jindapat and Siridechawat hardware stores:

It looks like the Jindapat one (belonging to Pat's family) is actually a construction material shop; the shelves and the items all around have been there for some time, not likely to have been cobbled together just for the show.

The Siridechawat shop though (belonging to Pran's family) looks like a covered vehicular park or outdoor storage, that BBS dressed up just so it could masquerade as a shop (not too successfully, in my opinion 😂).

The general location of the shops is likely to be not in Rangsit, but rather somewhere closer to central Bangkok (though not in the absolute city center). I say this because the outside shrubbery on the central road divider is very well-manicured (you see that more in central Bangkok, less in Greater Bangkok), and the lamp-post has markings that make it look more like central Bangkok ones. But there aren't any tall buildings visible, so it's not likely to be in the absolute city center where skyscrapers abound (and intrude on every view).

Actually, the road, trees, lamp-post and shrubbery look a lot like what you see at Phet Kasem Road, where the Boonyavej Hospital is located. There are lots of semi-industrial properties there that would fit the bill (including the wide gate and sturdy fencing), and the area is also more low-rise without being truly suburban (which would be the right setting for a shop that has giant billboards, that we can see in Ep.1 and Ep.3). Unfortunately, I've crawled the road several times over on Google Street View (it's hugely long) but have yet to find any matching property. 🤷‍♂️

If the shops are not on Phet Kasem Road, then it's very much a needle in the haystack search because Bangkok must have hundreds of roadway miles that fit the above description… 😭

Anyway, I'll still continue searching, and will post the location if I can find it. But with every day that passes, it seems less likely that the location will be found (because it seems ripe for redevelopment).

My location post no. 12 was dated 18 June 2023, and it's likely the penultimate one. I have just one more planned to identify the remaining minor locations. And if I can track down the hardware stores, then maybe I'll post a 14th one (but I don't know if that will ever happen 🤷‍♂️).

If my schedule permits, I'll try to write-up the few remaining locations that I've identified in the coming two weeks, so you should be able to refer to them by the time you're in Bangkok. But my work deadlines are looming, so I can't promise the post will be on time!

Please do post photographs of your trip and tag me, especially for the BBS locations. 😍 I would so love to see them. Other fans have also been visiting various BBS locations too, so you may wish to refer to these posts for additional information:

‌

Here are a few more pointers that I've gleaned from the above posts, and from interacting with other BBS fans (especially @tiistirtipii), since I made my own location posts:

U Café is no longer at the base of the block where the fight scene in Ep.5 took place (somewhere close by the Environmental Engineering Dept), so the setting looks a bit different now. But it's near the white tiger mural at the College of Engineering.

Gram Café and Pancakes is no longer at Level 2 of The Promenade; it moved to the foodcourt (in Fashion Island?) some time back.

The 112 Chemical Room 1 in Ep.1 (where Pat covered Pran's mouth while putting a finger to his own lips, after yanking him into the alley to escape the other Engine boys) is most likely somewhere in Rangsit University (probably the College of Engineering, near the workshops) but I've never been able to pinpoint the exact location (Google Street View doesn't do all roads and side alleys in RSU 😂). Do let me know if you find it.

As for your other questions, I'm always down to chat about Bad Buddy. Still very much a BBS boy at heart, and time hasn't dimmed how much I love the series! 💖 So feel free to send me Asks and messages if you'd like to converse about Bad Buddy. The only caveat is (as I mentioned above) my work has been building up lately (this week has been a bit slower, but it is expected to get busier after mid-April 2024 😭), so my responses to Asks and messages will sometimes be delayed (as my other friends on Tumblr have also experienced).

Have a great time in Thailand! Your Tumblr header makes it sound like this might be your first trip there. Do take care! Thailand is an amazing place. The usual precautions apply, but the place is full of wonderful sights and delicious food. I've always enjoyed every trip there. 😍

Warmest regards,

Tel 💖

P.S. Can I say how much I also love your Tumblr name? My first instinct is to read it as Honey Beebs, but then on looking closer I can tell it's also Honey Bee + BBS, which is really clever. 🤩

do you think you could manage another sindri smutt??? like I know that man would cry and whimper the whole way through. probs would even cum in his pants and get so bashful about it. just wanna make that sad lil man cum so hard he cries!

Sad Lil’ Man~ Sindri X GN!Reader!

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

“P-Please!” He cried out, tears starting to stain his face and collar. He didn’t know what to do with his hands. He was afraid they’d break if they touched you. “Please what? What’s wrong baby?” You cooed, fingers rubbing swiftly over his nipples. He was laid back on his back. Shirtless, with his pants still on. Sindri had the most beautiful nipples you’ve seen in like ever. The whimpers and whines escaping his slightly chapped lips where music to your ears. “Gonna…I can’t- PLEASE”

He sobbed, hips rocking back and forth, trying to get some sort of friction. “Gonna cum?” You snickered, leaning down to bite and lick at his belly button. With a loud sob, his hips stopped and he was left shaking violently. “Sin?? You okay baby?” You mumbled, letting go of a piece of his stomach between your teeth. Moving your head down, you locked eyes with a wet spot on crotch.

“Baby?…did you just cum?” Looking up, tears where pouring out of his eyes, one hand covering his mouth. “Awww…you’re so sweet” leaning down, you kissed the wet spot, causing him to smash his hips up, whining loudly, his breath sped up.

“Feel good?” You questioned. He nodded his head rapidly, “feel so good-“

Chuckling, you started to remove his pants and boxers, watching his soft cock start to spring to life again. “So big sin” you gave him sultry eyes, watching how his face flushed red. “S-stop-“ he mumbled, eyes shooting everywhere, but your face.

Beginning to take off your own pants, you spoke; “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you. Make you cum so hard you won’t feel the same ever again~”

[apnourry]

You have this natural beauty ❤️

you have all my love for saying that

[beebascloset]

Love ya beeb hope you're having a great day

thank you soulsidekick very cool

[overbearingstruggles]

So this has nothing to do w your previous asks and will likely be a bit rambly but bear with me lol. I just wanted to say thank you for still being an active blog and listening to what everyone has to say regarding everything that’s happened over the last 2 months. Tbh I’ve craved normalcy so much regarding ATL with social media posts and everything; I’ve missed seeing AWG on my Twitter, all of them on IG, etc. I get why they’re not posting rn, but I really miss it so much. Also, I really dislike that some people are so quick to hate on you if you publicly support them/their music (mostly talking about Twitter here). Idk their music has been a major source of comfort for me since I discovered it and I feel like I have to keep it a secret now and I hate that. That being said, I love being able to come on Tumblr and see your blog (along w a few others) where things are normal (to a degree), w discourse on the band and everything. I think I need to make friends w those who are still supporting (or at least aren’t boycotting) bc I feel alone in enjoying their music after everything but still love listening to it, which are weird emotions to have at the same time. I hope that made some sense and sorry it was so long lol

TLDR: thank you for still being around and making being an atl fan still feel mostly normal with everything that’s happened lately <3

Awww beeb! I can’t overstate how warm I feel at this!! I’m so sorry for the weird guilt and pressure from other people. This rabid virtue signaling and attacking people is never going to get a situation to a better resolve and I really resent that behavior. I feel a certain amount of shame still being here and them still actively being my favorite band and while it’s not necessarily healthy or ideal, it’s more rational to me than being on either extreme. Can tell ya I’m definitely not going anywhere! Not yet, not this time. The boys might’ve abandoned us but but I’m plugging holes to keep the boat sailing.

[the-shiniest-plant]

I might be a bit late, but I saw you were in need of fluff asks! Do you want to talk about your idiot baby Minister kiddo? He sounds great and I'd love to hear more (also about Ophelia as well if you want!) :) @kerra-and-company (also sending you all the good vibes! <3 )

Thank you! ❤️ I’m doing better now, but I’m always happy to do posts about my beebs!

Okay, so, if it wasn’t completely obvious, Ophie and Luci are siblings. He’s older. They’re rather chaotic to each other, to the point where, after a night of drinking at the Flagon, Ophie broke a mug on her brother’s head, and sliced her hand open on a piece of broken ceramic! Of course, worried big brother rushed her to the clinic in Salma, where she got all healed up.

Ophie was the one to get into a relationship first, with a Sylvari, Artie Choak (Yes, I know, it’s a joke name, my boyfriend has a silly sense of humor, and I looooove puns!) and Protective Big Brother Luciano didn’t know how to react to the news, to the point where Luci and Artie’s first impressions of each other weren’t exactly the greatest. Now that Luci’s in a relationship himself, he understands how it feels to love someone other than family with your whole heart, and that he shouldn’t have reacted the way he did. He apologized to Artie and they’re on good terms now.

Ophie doesn’t know her own strength, sometimes. She’ll accidentally break things by slamming into them too hard. Thankfully, when she does break things, her rich girl noble status comes into play, and she can easily pay off any damages or fines. Of course, she still feels bad that she even broke the thing in the first place, so often she’ll give the owner of said thing more money than the thing was worth.

Luciano is a Mesmer, though he honestly hates getting into fights, and largely prefers to work out his problems with his words rather than weaponry. Having clones is honestly a blessing in his work, as he doesn’t have to concentrate on them, so he can get four days of paperwork done in one! That, and he can take breaks or go do other things besides work when he gets overwhelmed with how much writing he has to do without any of his coworkers wising up to it. You know that one story instance with Countess Anise and Canach at the one party when Canach only realizes he’s talking to a Mesmer Clone after several hours? Yeah, Luci does that, but with work. Good thing his clones do a good job of impersonating the real him!

Ophelia is physically blind, but thanks to her channeled spirit, an ancient Elonian Primeval Warrior Queen named Yasmeena al-Sayed, she is able to interact with the world as if she could see, because her helper spirit projects what she can see into Ophie’s mind. Auntie Yas, as she’s come to be known amongst the di Angelo family, has been a good friend to them, and keeps watch over Ophie as she goes on her grand adventures with the Vigil.

So those are a few little blurbs about the di Angelo siblings! If you’d like to know more about them, feel free to drop an ask!

Did someone say SOMFT? Have some soft beeb facts (Fall edition!). I am sorry you are feeling unwell thanks to the Moon Sickness™

Glan makes a really great breakfast and given the opportunity would absolutely make breakfast-in-bed a neccessity. Anytime it's raining MUST be a B-I-B day.

While Dion doesn't like Halloween due to the scares, he would absolutely dress up as something like a giant pumpkin. Or a frog!

Speaking of Halloween, Galla is the QUEEN of campfire scary stories thanks to her deep voice and serious nature.

Ruby would try to eat her own weight in smores.

Valens is having a HOOT with Halloween, it's her first time celebrating and is full of pranks. Usually harmless ones, unless Sigilis gets involved then there may or may not be some firecrackers at play.

Riag's not one for Halloween but Ruby made him dress up as something. So he went as low energy as possible and is doing the whole 'sheet-ghost' costume. It's strangely adorable because you can see his glow through it, so it gives it away.

(@uselessidiotsquad )

Autumn is my fave season :> moon sickness is such a good name for it, sounds so witchy i love it

Frog bog man 🥺 Ruby pls don't eat your own weight in smores, you'll get sick 🤣and ghost Riag is such an image. I swear I love that twig man a lot

Also, for that Glan and breakfast thing, I raise you this: Gland making El a nice and nutritious breakfast, while El, when its his turn, slices a lot of fruit on the plate and brings it over cause ya boy doesn't know how to cook a lot of stuff :x he's trying tho!!!

Together

Pairing: FinnPoe

Anon asked: heyyyy I dunno if you are taking requests rn and it’s fine if you’re not but i figured you would write this really well... so basically had this idea for a finnpoe fic where basically someone calls Finn a stormtrooper or something and Poe loses his shit and tries to fight them (or does you choose😉) and Finn has drag him away cause poe is really trying to end this dude and then when poe calms down he confesses? I’m sorry this is all over the place but it’s my first time doin a request😅

Warnings: language, very light angst if you squint, mentions of blood, mutual pining, tooth rotting fluff

Word Count: 2.5k

A/N: Thank you to the anon who requested!! My requests are always open, though it does take me some time. I absolutely adored this idea and loved writing it! I’m going to be editing my tag lists soon so please let me know if you would like to be tagged in anything! 《MASTERLIST 》

“You’re an idiot.”

“Are not,” he scoffed

“And a scaredy cat.”

“No I’m not.”

“Why don’t you tell him then,” Rey smirked as her eyebrows raised, clearly enjoying this little banter.

“Because, you know...” his sentence trailed off as a hand went to rub the back of his neck.

“No I don’t know,” she smiled, a small chuckle escaping past her lips. Poe let out a long sigh before leaning against the door to his quarters. 

“I just, he’s my best friend! And he probably, more than likely, doesn’t feel the same.” He grunted, kicking at the dirt. 

“My point still stands,” he looked up, a tired yet curious expression on his face. She patted a hand on his shoulder, “You’re an idiot.” 

“You’re no help, you know that.” He chuckled, turning his head to look at her, knowing she was completely right. He’s being a fool. He should just tell Finn how he feels but doubt and fear linger in the back of  his head.

“Well, maybe all you need is a push.” She gave him one last smile as she turned around, heading to another part of the base.

He stood there, pondering over her words. What kind of push though? He groaned in frustration again before heading over to the mechanics area to work on his x-wing.

++++

“You and Commander Dameron are close,” one of the mechanics said as she was working on a droid.

“Yeah uh, you could say that.” He chuckled nervously. 

“You like him don’t you.” She looked up, a soft gaze in her eyes. 

“I put up with him, if that counts.” He shifted on his feet, not looking directly at her. 

“Sure you do,” she clicked her tongue, looking back down at the droid. Finn’s brows furrowed; he licked his lips, curiosity filling him inside.

“And that means…” he quirked an eyebrow.

“Nothing,” she smiled sweetly at him. “It’s just,” she waved a wrench around, “you two seem like you’d make a cute couple is all,” she said nonchalantly. If Finn had water he would’ve choked. Couple? Sure he liked Poe, but being a couple never really crossed his mind.

“I uh -” A blush started creeping up his neck and to his cheeks. “I-I I mean-”

“Finn? Buddy, what are you doing here?” Poe cut him off, throwing an arm around his shoulder pulling him into a side hug. 

“Just uh, chatting,” Finn looked at Poe briefly before dropping his gaze to the ground, his blush growing more intense.

“You okay?” Poe hummed, scanning his soft brown eyes over Finn’s facial features. “You look flush.” Concern washed over Poe and in an instant he removed his arm from Finn’s shoulder and pressed the back of his hand to Finn’s forehead. “Comin down with something? Need water? Maybe you should-”

“Poe,” Finn chuckled, “I’m fine. It’s just hot in here.” He shifted on his feet. Poe’s hand dropped from his forehead to his shoulder, just by his neck.

“Probably this jacket of yours then,” Poe chuckled as he tugged on the leather material.

“Yeah, probably.” Finn smiled, looking up at him. Your jacket, echoing in the back of his mind. Their eyes locked and Finn felt his heart leap from his chest. Poe’s gaze was soft yet concern still lingered. His eyes filled with adoration and his lips curved into a gentle smile. 

Finn didn’t know it but Poe felt the exact same way. Looking into Finn’s eyes, Poe felt himself fall even more in love. Love? Poe licked his lips as he cleared his throat, his face suddenly feeling hot. 

“I uh, I gotta go work on my uh, x-wing,” Poe stuttered, eyes never wavering from Finn’s. 

“Y-yeah, I uh, got to um…” Both men chuckled nervously as they spun in a circle around each other.

“You’re going to the cantina later right?” Poe asked, a slight tremor in his voice.

“Oh, y-yeah yeah yeah. Uh, see you then Poe,” Finn waved, a goofy smile on his face. Poe nodded as he was walking backwards.

“See you later babe-BUD! Bud,” Poe flashed him a smile before turning around and started speed walking toward his x-wing. “Kriff, I hope he didn’t hear that.” he mumbled to himself.

Finn stared at Poe’s retreating form until he turned a corner and was out of sight. His face was still burning as was his shoulder where Poe had his hand. He sighed for the millionth time that day and looked at the mechanic, a huge smile plastered on her face.

“Told ya!” She winked and Finn couldn’t help but shake his head. Hands on his hips, he looked up at the ceiling, thoughts just racing around in his head, all revolving around a certain pilot. 

“We’ll see about that,” he finally decided. He started walking out when she hollered three letters that made him pause. 

“OTP!” He was definitely going to have to look that up later.

++++

“That should do it.” Throwing the wrench with a huff, Poe wiped a hand over his forehead leaving slight greece smudges. “What do you think beebs?” The droid beeped in approval before picking up the wrench and putting it in the toolbox.

“Cantina time, right?” He clapped his hands as he grabbed his jacket. Loud concerned beeping made him stop and look at the little white and orange droid. “What do you mean I look bad?” BB-8 shook its head. 

“Buddy I’m - oh,” Poe looked down at his clothes, the white tank top and black pants were covered in oil. “Yeah I know, I need to change.” He chuckled, making his way towards his quarters, bb-8 following close to his side. “Yes, and take a shower.”

After getting ready and approval from BeeBee, Poe finally headed to the cantina. He felt his stomach churn as his heart thumped a little faster. It wasn’t a date but they were still hanging out, laughing together. Together. Oh how a word can break and mend his heart at once. 

Taking a deep breath to try and calm his nerves, Poe opened the door and was greeted with a slight crowd, everybody talking and laughing, arguing and drinking. Scanning the area, Poe couldn’t find Finn or the rest of his friends. 

“There you are!” Rose grabbed his arm, “You’ve gotta do something!” Tugging him to a different part of the cantina, Poe was filled with confusion. It wasn’t until Rose pointed to a certain area that he felt his heart hammering away in his chest. “They’ve been at for like ten minutes. We tried shutting them up but they won’t listen.”

“Where’s Rey?” 

“Said she’ll be here later.”

“What exactly happened?” Poe faced her, a serious expression on his face. 

“At first we were having fun and talking, waiting for you and Rey when those guys showed up.” She started, jutting her chin in the direction where Finn and the three other men were at. “They seemed nice at first, had a decent conversation when they started picking on Finn for being quiet. I told them to shut up but Maker, they kept on going. They had just started teasing him about being a stormtrooper when I saw you walk in.” She finished with a huff. 

Poe’s blood was boiling. Searing anger bubbling from the inside out, making him stare at the three dudes who were still teasing Finn. If looks could kill, they would be not 6ft, but 12ft under. His jaw was set, teeth clenched, and he felt his hands starting to shake. All he saw was red and he wanted to go in for the kill. Walking up to the group of four, Poe grabbed the nearest one and slammed him against the wall.

“So you think it’s funny to make fun of him huh?!” Poe’s eyes were like daggers, as his voice went deep and was void of emotion. “Think you talk shit about his past?” His fist collided with the guy’s jaw, a loud pop made the whole cantina turn to look at the scene; but Poe could care less. 

He grabbed the same guy and punched his face again and again, efficiently breaking his nose. He raised his fist to land another blow when he felt someone grab it and wrap an arm around his waist. 

“Poe stop!” Finn pleaded, trying to pull Poe off the guy.

“No, No! They each need an ass beating.” He snarled, “Or, or maybe...maybe I’ll just blast them with my x-wing a few times!” He struggled against Finn’s hold to lunge at the other two guys.

“Poe!” Finn held on tighter, like his life depended on it. Well, more like the other three guy’s. 

Poe grunted as he tried to pry Finn’s arm from his waist but Finn wouldn’t let up. Poe turned his head to look at Finn and he felt all his anger dissipate. The cold look turned warm under Finn’s gaze and he huffed, falling limp; letting go of the struggle. 

“Thank you.” Finn helped him stand, but Poe mistakenly looked at the three guys again and he felt his anger rise. Finn grabbed at his waist and shoulder before Poe could take a step.

“If I see you three ever again you’re dead.” Poe jabbed a finger in their direction before looking at Finn and giving a curt nod, silently telling him he was finished.

“I’ll clean up here, you two need to talk, now.” Rose said, pushing them towards the exit. They left and Finn guided them towards the tarmac, knowing Poe likes to look out at the stars as he cools down from a fight. 

The whole way was quiet, neither saying what they really wanted to. Poe’s eyes were trained to the floor, not daring to look at Finn. He felt guilty, but he also felt something else. Something burning in his chest. He couldn’t really put his finger on it. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt them stop. Tentatively, he lifts his gaze up, looking at Finn who is already watching him.

Finn retracts his arm from around Poe’s waist and they both feel a little empty with the loss of contact. Finn swallows thickly and sighs, still not believing what just happened. Poe literally came out of nowhere and beat a guy to a pulp. 

“Rose told me what happened, that’s why I uh, you know.” It was like he read his mind. Poe went to put his hands in his pant pockets but when the material rubbed on his right fist he felt a sharp pain shoot from his knuckles to the rest of his hand. A slight whimper escaped as he cupped it with his other hand. 

“Dammit Dameron,” Finn whispered, reaching for Poe’s injured hand. “What would possess you to beat the life out of them?” He pressed the bottom of his shirt to Poe’s lightly bleeding fast bruising knuckles. 

“You know what they said-”

“But that doesn’t mean you can kill them Poe.” Finn looked up from their hands to Poe’s face, guilt very evident across his beautiful features. 

“I-” Poe started, he felt his throat closing in on him as tears started clouding his vision. “I-You, it’s just, ugh!” He pulled his hands away and started tugging at his curls. “You! It’s you! You’re fault,” he sighed in frustration. The words wouldn’t come out the way he wanted them too.

“My fault?! How the-”

“Not the fight, the feeling - THIS feeling,” he motioned towards his heart, his hand shaking rather violently. “That feeling. Whenever I see you, Finn, my heart feels like it’s going to kriffing explode! I can be down all day and then I see you, and you care and you want to help me.” He paused trying to get air into his lungs. He didn't even feel the tears falling down until Finn reached out and pressed a hand to his cheek, the pad of his thumb gently rubbing the tears away.

“When Rose said they were making fun of how you used to be a stormtrooper, I-I thought I was going to melt on the spot of how heated I got.” He cracked a smile, trying to conceal the aggravation he felt at the thought. “Finn, w-what I’m, you know, trying to uh to to say, is uh,” he tripped over his words and Finn had to bite his lip so as to not laugh at Poe’s new state of nervousness. 

“You got it,” Finn encouraged, hand still pressed to Poe’s cheek, the other hand holding Poe’s injured one. There was a beat of silence. No one spoke, everything around them was quiet as they stared into each other's eyes, the stars above them illuminating them perfectly.

“I love you.” As soon as the words left him, Poe panicked. Scanning Finn’s face for any sign of disappointment or wariness, he was met with something completely different, something he wasn’t expecting. Finn had the brightest smile Poe’s ever seen, his eyes shone with pure awe and warmth, and the hand on his cheek moved to his neck.

“I know.” Finn winked at him and Poe felt his face get hot as his heart froze. “That’s a little taste of your own medicine you cocky bastard.” He laughed before bringing both his hands to cup Poe’s cheeks and bring him in for a long awaited kiss. 

The kiss was soft and sweet. Both of them pouring all their emotions into it, all the love they felt for each other. Poe felt fireworks go off in his belly as he drowned himself in Finn’s smell, the way their lips curved perfectly against each other. Breaking apart for air, they leaned their foreheads together, bumping noses, little laughs turned into small pecks and their hearts soared high to the skies. 

“I love you too, babe.” Finn chuckled, kissing the tip of Poe’s nose.

“So you did hear it,” Poe felt his face get hot of slight embarrassment and tucked his nose into Finn’s shoulder. 

“Everybody heard it.” The mechanic from earlier stated making them jump. Both men looked over and saw she wasn’t standing alone, but with BB-8, Rose, and Rey. BeeeBee rolls up in between them and beeps, as if scolding Poe.

“What do you mean it’s about damn time?” He questioned the droid.

“It’s got a point,” Rey said, turning to the other three ladies, gaining an eruption of laughter from the whole group. 

Poe looked at Finn who shook his head at them, a smile blossoming across his face. That laughter made his stomach do backflips and his heart throb in his chest, but now he didn’t have to hide it anymore. Their eyes met and he extended his uninjured hand, Finn gladly taking it, intertwining their fingers. 

Finn glanced at Poe’s other hand, the blood dried and the bruise was getting worse. He gave Poe a look but the other man shook his head, tugging him close and pressing a kiss to his temple. A silent way of saying we’ll handle it tomorrow. A promise they’ll handle anything together now. As they always have.

@malwarfare​ sent: ❛ hey beebs. ❜  she has to know something is wrong already, if not by how exhausted he looked, none of his typical eyeliner or sunglasses to hide the dark circles under his eyes, then by how he dragged her into her office. he leans against the wall for a moment, eyes fixated on the crowd of people below. he doesn’t want to look at barbie, doesn’t want to see her face when she learns, but he figures he at least owes her this much. king turns to face her as his eyes quickly flash orange, activating the system that made the glass opaque. ❛ it’s about val—  i’m sorry. ❜ he stumbles on his words, briefly. ❛ they got him, arasaka. he’s gone, he's— ❜ he stops, resists the urge to curse as hands rub tired eyes. 

 Barbie  always  has  good  days.  At  least,  she  tries  to,  she  makes  it  look  like  she  does  because  it  is  so  much  easier  that  way.  Night  City.  is  by  far  better  than  where  she  was  before  but  things  weigh,  they  weigh  everywhere.  Such  is  life  but  she  is  trying  and  things  are  good,  so  much  better.    Today  was  a  long  day,  the  bar  needed  extra  help  and  apparently  they  were  being  watched,  by  who  she  had  no  fuckin  idea  but  it  was  grating.  People  were  getting  pissy  about  her  quick  rise  but  it  was  normal  and  she  had  no  problems  using  her  ax  or  having  a  quick  trigger  finger.  But,  she  is  sure  most  of  today's  bad  energy  is  from  her  own  lack  of  sleep.  Sometimes,  she  is  plauged  by  nightmares  and  the  night  previous  had  been  one  of  the  worst  she  had  in  awhile.  But,  she  shoved  it  aside  and  threw  herself  into  every  work  she  could  and  every  meeting  and  contract  she  could  possibly  open.  

She  wasn't  expecting  King  today,  to  be  honest  she  never  really  expected  him  or  Val.  They  just  showed  up  but  there  was  always  a  small  haunting  feeling  one  day,  much  like  those  before  they  would  leave  her  in  the  dust,  move  on  to  better  company.  She  knew  deep  down  they  wouldn't  but  the  whispers  still  sometimes  existed.  She  always  loved  to  see  him,  he  made  her  smile  and  the  days  like  today  better.  Not  to  mention,  she  owed  him  a  lot,  hell  she  owed  him  and  Val  her  life  considering.  The  bar  menu  did  great  the  drinks  she  made  for  them  both  were  top  sellers,  she  was  happy  and  here  because  of  them  and  the  cyberwear  and  tattoos  on  her  skin  while  impulsive  were  nothing  short  of  her  finally  being  in  control  of  her  life.  Finally  being  in  control  of  her  life  because  of  them.  

 However,  the  grab  of  her  wrist  and  the  tug  up  the  rest  of  the  stairs  into  the  office  was  concerning.  Her  vitals  rising  mind  racing,  maybe  her  parents  found  out  where  she  was,  maybe  arasaka  did  and  she  was  about  to  be  flatlined.  Oh  god  maybe  someone  took  a  contract  out  on  her,  or  worse,  she  had  to  retract  all  the  letters  she  sent  out  with  glitter  because  he  got  her  the  wrong  address  for  the  people  she  wanted  to  send  them  to.  The  last  one  was  doubtful  but  good  golly,  was  it  still  scary  to  think  some  poor  innocent  person  was  about  to  open  an  envelope  of  nothing  but  glitter.  ❝  Don't  tell  me  ya  been  plugged  in  an'  haven't  slept  in  an  unhealthy  amount  o'  time  again.  Ya  know  I'm  just  gonna  force  ya  to  stay  at  my  place.  ❞        Small  smile,  trying  to  lighten  the  aura,  he  looks  tired.  She  always  thinks  that  he  looks  like  that  though.  Her  concerns  for  King  were  a  constant  in  her  life,  he  was  like  a  brother  to  her,  the  other  side  of  the  coin  that  she  was  in  some  aspects  as  well.  But  the  small  falls  quickly  as  he  speaks  again.  Worst  fears  slowly  coming  to  the  surface.  Bubbling  up  in  her  throat  like  soap,  choking  her,  making  her  airways  crushed.   

It's  about  Val,  it's  about  Val,  it's  about  Val,  it's  about  Val.  It  rattles  around  inside  her  brain  so  long  after  he  speaks.  She  doesn't  move  or  say  anything.  Standing  in  the  middle  of  her  office,  the  pink  rug  on  the  ground  hugging  the  leds  embedded  into  her  shoes.  A  hand  slowly  rising  to  her  chest  trying  to  get  the  soap  she  felt  in  her  throat  out.  Tremors  in  her  hands,  in  her  body,  features  slowly  draining  of  the  color  that  they  held,  and  suddenly  the  glitter  that  hugged  her  skin  seemed  to  leave  her  body  as  well.  Her  lips  part,  and  finally  there  is  a  sharp  shaking  inhale  of  air,  it  sounds  painful  and  it  reminds  her  of  when  she's  been  shot.  This  is  worse  somehow,  it  burns,  it  aches  and  hurts  more  than  she  could  explain  or  describe.  Fucking  Arasaka.  She  doesn't  process  things  well,  she  never  learned  how  it's  a  lot  that  hits  her  at  once.  Hand  reaching  towards  King,  grabbing  his  arm  as  tears  stream  down  her  face  highlighting  the  sparkles  she  puts  on  there.  The  ones  she  knows  are  there,  the  ones  she  wants  to  scrub  off  her  face  because  now,  today  they  shouldn't.  It's  within  a  split  second  of  grabbing  his  arm  that  knees  buckle  from  the  sheer  amount  of  emotional  weight  within  her  body  and  she's  on  her  knees.  Half  of  the  only  family  she  has  considered  gone.  Flatlined.  Killed.  Murdered.    

 The  world  has  a  lot  of  different  types  of  crying,  different  places  it  comes  from  in  someone's  body.  The  back  of  their  throat,  their  chest,  their  stomach.  But  this  is  all  of  them,  the  combination  of  the  way  someone  would  cry  alone  in  the  shower  at  2  and  have  a  complete  sad  and  angry  break  down  in  a  motel  room  at  noon.  She  doesn't  know  what  it  sounds  like  but  it  sounds  painful  when  she  finally  starts  sobbing.  Arms  having  fallen  and  wrapped  around  now  the  only  person  she  has  left.  The  only  person  she  can  call  family.  The  first  day  they  dropped  her  off  in  Night  City  she  made  them  both  promise  it  was  never  goodbyes  when  they  left  just  see  you  soons  because  of  this.  Because  of  how  much  it  would  hurt  now  that  she  had  made  up  her  mind  on  them  being  her  family.  The  crying  rakes  her  body,  shakes  it  and  makes  the  edges  of  her  vision  blur  as  she  clings  to  King.  Thankful  for  the  blasting  volume  of  the  music  that  covered  gunshots  and  shouting  typically  but  now  would  hide  the  break  down  and  pain  she  had.    There  was  so  much  they  had  all  planned,  and  wanted  to  do  together,  when  she  had  officially  been  able  to  do  more  and  her  plans  were  completely  finished.  Just  a  few  more  days  and  just  like  that  it  fell  through  the  cracks.  The  dandelion  on  the  pavement  crushed  because  of  fresh  cement  being  laid  down.  

There  were  hardly  times  in  her  life  now  where  she  couldn't  speak  but  in  this  moment,  in  this  time  she  had  nothing.  If  she  still  had  it,  or  the  ability  she  was  sure  that  Trauma  Team  would  be  busting  down  the  doors  to  Dreamhouse  to  see  her.  She  doesn't  process  how  tight  her  grip  is,  how  much  she  could  be  hurting  King  hugging  his  leg  for  a  decent  amount  of  time.  Slowly  hands  leaving  him  before  wrapping  around  her  own.  Tiny  frame  becoming  half  the  size,  if  that  as  she  recoils  into  herself.  Tears  and  sobs  muffled  by  the  jacket  and  pants  she  wore  but  the  shaking  of  her  body  not  stopping  or  hiding.  Her  childhood  had  been  taken  by  her  parents  and  Arasaka  contracts.  And  now,  one  of  the  two  people  she  loved  had  been  taken  too.  It  was  relentless  and  hurtful.  ❝  Why  do  they  take  everythin'  !  I  jus'----  ❞  Hyperventilating  cuts  shattering  and  breaking  words  as  she  curls  in  on  herself  more  head  violently  shaking.  But  her  mind  had  been  even  more  clearly  made  up,  she  would  completely  obliterate  them  and  every  other  corporation  that  worked  like  this  or  did  whatever  they  did  to  Val  to  their  employees.  She  would  end  them  all,  and  she  would  do  it  the  right  way  and  smarter  than  those  who  had  tried  before.  But  for  now,  she  would  remain  like  a  broken  child,  curled  in  a  ball  in  her  office.

Hi! I'm so sorry if this is a weird ask. I've beeb dying to play the decades legacy and am just wondering if there are any mods or cc you recommend? You definitely don't have to link anything to me if you don't want to, I'm just very curious. Especially for just starting out! Thank you in advance! I love your legacy

Thank you! It’s not a weird ask at all! I’ll be glad to help ya out.

First off, mods:

this one from MTS which keeps them from using the phone autonomously ... it’s just super helpful when it comes to keeping yourself in the “illusion”

MC Command Center because it helps customise your game (e.g. deaths in the war, pregnancy settings, auto renaming after marriage, etc.) i can’t play without it even for modern gameplay

Now, CC:

Lollaleeloo’s Victorian clothes, especially the swimwear, on TSR

basically everything by @historicalsimslife @vintagesimstress @linzlu @happylifesims @simsfromthepast @retro-pixels @peebsplays ... there are so many

this functional typewriter so you can use certain things you would otherwise only be able to do on a computer

the tea party set by @plumbobteasociety

@zurkdesign‘s historical tag here

there’s also so many different vintage radios and tvs, for example this phonograph I use, some others by the creators I listed before, and many more

Otherwise, I just mix and match with different era things. For example, different kinds of hairstyles that may be created with modern times in mind but actually fit into older times as well. Same for clothing, of course. (I also like to pair different kinds of long skirts with different blouses for some diy dresses lol)

That’s all I could think of for now. Since I’m only in the 1920s gen I don’t have too much beyond that, yet. But I hope this is helpful anyway!

27, 28, 31 and 44 for the fanfic writers asks please! 🌻🌻🌻🌻

ANGE! MY LUZ! AH HELLO!! thank you so much for the ask my supportive queen, thank u!! <3

27. Do you like to give your readers some warning of what might be coming or just slap them in the face with content at random?

if it’s a serious topic, then yes because i know some things can be triggering for people, BUTTTTT if it’s something like two characters people wouldn’t suspect (ahem...ad astra per aspera chapter 28, if you know you know LOL ) i like to ya know, just surprise people with it, it’s worth the reactions from others HAHA

28. How do you deal with writing pressure (ie: pressure to update, negative comments, deadlines, etc)?

for me, i don’t pressure myself into anything i don’t want to do. i really do it for me if that makes sense? i update when i can, write when i can, be active when i can, i do what’s comfortable for me and if that bothers people then i’m just like :( sorry yall this is supposed to be fun for me, not stressful and something that makes me upset, i’m supposed to like this!! so def just do my own lil unique thing and vibe with myself in the corner of the world and it works out in my favor!!! :) BUT IM SURE YOU UNDERSTAND <3 writing is just a lil fun thing for me, a hobby, and i hope to never stress myself out over the fact i didn’t write enough, i just go with the flow and do what i want LOL

31. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

AHHHH THATS SO HARD! i love all my lil beebs so so much!! but at the current moment, hazel has been my absolute favorite to write because for me she has been the most relatable. she’s quiet, she’s humble, she’s not super funny, she’s more on the innocent side, she’s a lil broken from her past, but she’s still strong and she fights her mental battles very very well for who she is as a person and she holds her morals very high for that of humans. she doesn’t like people being left out and when she loves, she makes sure that you know you are loved because she knows the feeling of maybe not getting the right love. hazel has just been a very personable and relatable character for me in so many ways bc i wanted a relatable bob character that was finally a quiet, shy, a lil insecure character who the quieter side of the people in the fandom could relate to :) someone who is just truly herself, isn’t fake, has human flaws that others can relate to that make her a human being. she had trouble speaking up for herself in the beginning and so showing that arc was one of the things i really liked. she had to be the most relatable for me, and i’ve loved writing her character with all my heart <3 and no actually LOL even though people have told me hazel is one of their favorites for many reasons. she’s just a very interesting character who doesn’t put on a show for others and i like that about her. shes a highly relatable character for quiet people like me:) 

44. Rant about something writing related.

YOOOO YES! let me just whip out all the dumbass stuff i’ve done. ok but seriously, you know when you get a really good idea, a good concept, a good scene but you have no clue how to write it out or connect it to the story? uh yeah so thats ME IN A NUTSHELL and then i have to start intertwining things and changing scenes and putting bits and pieces together only in the end for me to have to go and rewrite the scene over and over and then fail miserably. and then two days before i update, go and hardcore rewrite the scene only to see it actually work out for me. i hate that my mind is extra dumb sometimes for me and then is magically intelligent 48 hours before an update. 

THANK YOU SM ANGE!! i love these with all my heart AHHH thank you thank you thank you!!! <3

Hi there! just wanna tell you that 'which resembles the grave but isn't!' is so good like sis, i think that's the first story i read that have the boys understand and painfully deal with the consequences of their actions. Like, a lot wrote about the beebs during this period but not many really get the feel, ya know? they focused way too much on the McLen's when G & R is supposed to be tagged too. I really, really love it. To think that history can go that way easily is...wew, not good.

Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate this message. It’s a tough era to write about, there’s SO much going on at once. And yeah, I’m fascinated by, I guess the term would be “canon divergence” (that makes it sound like i’m talking about an AU for a tv show or something but u get it). as bad as things got, they very easily could have been much worse.

Bff's with Klaus??

Ta-da!❤️

Being best friends with Klaus would include:

Meeting:

• you led the weekly rehab check ins

• He’d flirt with you ALL THE TIME

• Only wanted to be friends because he always had relationships but they never ended well.

• He’d be so happy when you told him you love to see him when he got out of rehab.

- “Klaus, is love to see you outside of rehab, when you get better.”

- “Really?”

Cute Things:

• you’d be so comfortable around each other

- “don’t look I’m taking my top off.”

- “Okay, have fun.”

• when he gets kidnapped you notice right away and go looking for him.

• You help him, start tackling his trauma from his childhood.

• Always remembering his birthday.

- for his birthday one year, you made him a mixtape that was ONLY SONGS WITH THE WORD GHOST IN THE TITLE.

• talking to Ben even if you can’t see him.

- “hey Ben.”

- “To the left y/n.”

- “Hey Ben, to the left.”

• saying I love you, even if you aren’t dating.

• Dancing through the halls of the academy.

Things you do for each other:

• whenever some creep is hitting on you he swoops in and pretends to be your boyfriend.

- “hey sweets how’s it goin-“

- “Y/N! Babe! There you are! I have been looking everywhere for you!”

• you pretending to be his partner if some random chick is hitting on him.

- “well hey.”

- “Hiii.”

- “Klaus, my love! I’ve found you!”

• You buy him flowers just because.

• He does the same but he buys you cds or records.

• Watching bad tv with each other

• Klaus telling you about Dave.

- “And he was beautiful.”

- “He must be one special guy, to be able to win over the heart of Klaus Hargreeves.”

- “I was going to marry him , ya’ know.”

- “I better be the best man otherwise I’m going to be pissed.”

- “Of course babe.”

• Whenever one of you breaks down you go sit on the fire escape and look at the stars.

- “and that’s the Big Dipper, and that’s the Little Dipper! Oh! That’s Ursa Major and Ursa Minor!”

- “wow. You are such a fucking nerd.”

- “Oh shut up. I could push you off of this fire escape you know.”

- “I’m sure you can beeb.”

• Cute nicknames for eachother

- “Hey babe.”

- “Hey dear.”

- “Darling?”

- “Yeah baby?”

- “Where’s the peanut butter?”

- “In the cupboard.”

- “Thanks sweets.”

All in all, you guys would be so extremely happy, and you would lean on each other for anything.

Rock’s Girl

Fandom(s): Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (specifically Out of the Shadows)

Crossover: no

Summary: Rocksteady is nervous to reveal his mutated form to his girlfriend. Bebop is considerably less worried about it and Julia has to deal with the fact that her best friend and her boyfriend are now mutants.

Character(s): Bebop, Rocksteady, Julia (OC)

Pairing(s): Rocksteady/Julia

A/N: I’ve decided to try and repost some of my fanfics on here. I’m also still working on requests, this was just something I wrote in my spare time

Warnings: mild language

The dishwater blonde glanced down at her watch. She couldn't help but wonder why Bebop had told her to meet him and Rocksteady behind Vinnie's Pizzeria on 29th street. The restaurant was closed since it was so early in the morning, the sun wasn't even up yet. She'd heard on the news about them breaking out of the armored van that was transporting them to a maximum-security prison, the Shredder himself also having also escaped with assistance from his Foot soldiers. She figured they were most likely on the run from the cops. "If they think I'm letting them hide out at my place, they've got another thing coming" she mumbled, glancing at her watch again.

"Julia?"

The woman turned fast at the familiar voice. "Bebop? Finally, you guys are here" She could hardly see them in the shadows since it was still quite dark outside and she had a feeling they were avoiding stepping into the light from a nearby streetlamp. But she could tell that something wasn't right. Even though she could only vaguely see their silhouettes, they were massive. Not that they were small in stature to begin with, but they seemed larger somehow. "If you two came to me looking for a place to lie low, sorry, you'll have to go looking somewhere else"

"Nah, that's not why we're here," Bebop said. "We don't have a lot of time, but, uh, well Rock wanted to see you. There's something you need to know"

"Well, what's going on? And why the hell are you standing in the dark?"

"We don't want you to freak out when you see us," Rocksteady said, his voice unusually quiet. He almost sounded worried.

"Huh? That's ridiculous" The dishwater blonde shook her head. "Just tell me what's going on, guys"

"Something went down yesterday," Bebop said excitedly. "Girl, you're not gonna believe it-!" He let the sentence hang as he finally moved into the light. "Check me out!"

Julia's eyes widened, her hands flying up to her mouth as she tried to hold back a scream. Instead of Bebop standing in front of her, there was a giant humanoid warthog. It couldn't possibly be Bebop, could it? "Oh my god!"

"Cool, right?" He definitely sounded like Bebop and she recognized his purple Mohawk and matching shades instantly. "I'm a...! What did Stockman say I was again?"

"You're a warthog, man"

"Oh yeah, I'm a warthog-man!"

"I...I don't understand..." Julia was at a loss for words, her throat feeling like it was going to close up. Her gaze shifted toward where Rocksteady was standing. "Rock?" She asked softly. "I-I want to see you..."

"Maybe that's not such a good idea-"

"Please don't be afraid to let me see you," Julia said quickly. "I won't be scared, I swear" Her heart was pounding hard in her chest. She glanced toward Bebop, still trying to wrap her mind around what was happening.

Rocksteady hesitated for a few more seconds before he sighed heavily, slowly moving into the light beside Bebop. He held his breath as Julia came face to face with his new form. "Hi, darlin'"

"Rock..." Julia slowly took a step closer. "What, who...who did this?"

"Julia-"

"Who the hell did this to you?!" She swallowed thickly. "Whose ass am I going to have to kick for this?!"

"Calm down, girl!" Bebop said. "We like being this way, right, Rock?"

"Uh...yeah..." The mutant rhino looked down at Julia anxiously.

"You..." She hesitated. "You really like this?"

"Sure do...it's awesome!" Rocksteady laughed nervously. "So, uh, what do you think?"

"I-I don't know, Rock," Julia said softly. She slowly looked him up and down, taking in his mutated appearance. He was at least three feet taller than he'd been before, towering over her and engulfing her in his shadow cast by the streetlamp. She reached up slowly, tracing her fingers along the large horn that protruded from the end of the rhino's nose. "Is this mutation permanent?"

"We don't know" Bebop shrugged. "but I sure hope it is!"

"You don't mind it, do you?" Rocksteady asked, hyper-aware of the hand that was still on his horn. He leaned into her touch and a small smile crossed her face.

"well it'll definitely take some getting used to, that's for sure. But I don't mind it"

"You don't?"

"Not at all"

Rocksteady sighed, clearly relieved. "So...you still wanna be my girl?"

"Of course I do" Julia chuckled. "After all the shit you've pulled over the years, do you honestly think you becoming a mutant rhinoceros is the thing that would drive me away?"

"Uh..." Rocksteady's ears twitched as he thought a moment. "Yes?"

Julia sighed, shaking her head. "Rock, I don't care what you look like. As long as you're happy being this way, it doesn't bother me"

"Well, that's a relief!" The mutant rhino laughed, clearly at ease. "I thought I was gonna lose ya"

"If you haven't by now, I don't think you ever will," Julia said. "And neither of you has answered my question yet. Who the hell did this to you?"

"Dr. Stockman!" Bebop said. "Well, technically it was the Shredder-"

"Wait, Shredder?! Dr. Stockman? Don't tell me you two are working for them!"

"We, uh, we kinda are," Rocksteady said. "But don't worry, we know what we're doing"

Julia sighed heavily, running a hand through her hair. "I sincerely doubt that" She mumbled. "Look, I know you guys have been around the block a few times, so to speak, but Shredder is bad news, even compared to you two"

"You don't have to bother worryin' about us, Jules" Bebop said, laughing.

"I just..." She sighed again, glancing up at the rhino towering over her. "I just want you to be safe, okay? I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you two"

"It'll be alright, love" Rocksteady said, slowly reaching out and putting his hand on her cheek. "We'll be back before you know it"

The dishwater blonde smiled slightly, covering his hand with her own, a bit alarmed for a moment when she felt just how huge his hands were now. Yep, this whole mutant thing was definitely going to take some getting used to. "You'd better be. I don't want to have to hunt you down and kick your asses for making me worry"

Rocksteady chuckled. "I'll be sure to call ya, let you know how the mission is going"

Julia nodded. "Good. Where exactly are you headed, anyway?"

"Brazil!" Bebop cut in. "And speaking of that, we'd better get going, Rock. Don't want to upset the boss"

"Right" Rocksteady nodded, turning back to Julia. "Oh! I almost forgot, Beebs and I both got new phones, can't be traced easily. You have your phone with ya, darlin'?"

"Sure do," Julia said, already getting the hint as she took said phone out of her jacket pocket, punching in the numbers that Rocksteady told her.

"I'll contact you as soon as I can"

"You'd better," Julia said, a slight smile crossing her face. "Please be careful, both of you"

"We will be," Bebop said. "And don't you worry about Rock, I'll make sure he gets back to ya in one piece!"

"Thanks, Beebs, I appreciate that" She hesitated a moment before moving forward and wrapping her arms around Rocksteady as much as she could. Her smile widened when she felt his arm slip around her, doing his best not to crush her. "I love you, Rock"

"Love you too, Julia"

Bebop's phone suddenly rang, startling the three of them as Julia reluctantly pulled away from Rocksteady. The mutant warthog shrugged to quickly get his phone out of his pocket, grumbling under his breath before he finally answered it. "Hey, boss! Oh, oh yeah, we're on our way right now, don't you worry!" He hung up, glancing at Rocksteady. "We'd better get movin', man, our plane's leavin' in forty-five minutes"

"Yeah..." Rocksteady and Julia looked at each other. "I'll call you later, darlin'"

"I'll be waiting," Julia said, nodding as the two mutants lumbered off, Rocksteady glancing at her over his shoulder a few times as Bebop started babbling on about something. The rhino suddenly turned his attention to his friend, laughing and shoving him in response to whatever he'd just said.

The human woman sighed, slipping her hands in her jacket pockets as she watched them until they disappeared around the corner ahead and she couldn't see them anymore.

That afternoon, as she was putting away her dishes from lunch, her phone rang, indicating Rocksteady was contacting her through a video call. She smiled as she hit 'accept' and the familiar rhino's face appeared onscreen. "Hey, darlin'! Calling ya just like I said I would"

Julia chuckled as Bebop suddenly appeared beside him, trying to adjust the phone so they could both be in the frame.

They may have been mutants now, but they were still her guys and she wouldn't have them any other way.
