#when santa fell to earth

[rayghosts]

tim drake is a rare case where every wild, out-of-context thing you hear about him gets even wilder with context

made up a fake uncle to avoid getting adopted? first he had to steal his dead dad's will and change it to include the name of his fake uncle, then he forged an entire legal paper trail to fool even batman, and finally hired an out-of-luck actor to play the uncle and had brainstorm sessions with him about his character backstory. judging from his surprised reaction when bruce offered to adopt him, he probably did this to avoid being put into foster care and didnt even consider that bruce might want to adopt him (even though he already adopted three orphans before him) (and then bruce learned about this and gave him more freedom and crimefighting gear so tim could like him)

snuck into gotham during no man's land? he did this twice, first by himself to meet his girlfriend in the hospital while she was giving birth (he snuck into the ER as a nurse), then with his young justice friends who thought he was having daddy issues with batman and wanted to help (this was before he was adopted by bruce) (they also picked up an atlantean tourist on the way who wanted to sightsee gotham)

blew up several of the league of assassins' secret bases? before that he spent days working with them as a member to gain their trust (this was when he robbed that art museum) and all the while they were holding his dad's coworker's daughter who came to search for tim and learned about his secret life as an assassin before she learned he was robin (and then somehow fell in love with him)

becomes evil batman who kills in the future? not only that, he also convinces his friends to be evil with him and then takes control of half the country right after he kills every rogue in gotham and also his aunt. tim fought this version of himself at least three times, and each time swore that he would never become gun batman (he still becomes gun batman)

used his own legal last name as a hero name? he didnt even come up with the idea for that, he met an alternate earth version of himself (also evil) who was using that name and thought "oh that's a good name" and stole it for himself. he didnt bother to check if other drake's identity was public before he started using it. then he got pulled aside and told off personally by batman for using such a dumb name and that's why he's not called drake anymore

insulted jason to his face while he was trying to kill him? did this multiple times and even kicked jason in the nuts once (not while they were fighting, just as payback) (he's jason's favorite brother now)

and then anything that happened with young justice doesnt need any context because it's exactly as weird as it sounds. yes, he did save the fate of a planet by playing baseball with his friends. yes, they did invade an entire sovereign nation to rescue their one friend's parents who had turned into babies. yes, they did see santa claus die in a fiery explosion

I know this is a weird question, but what exactly do the bigger sharks eat in your world? I know Rocky is a Great Hammerhead and they (as a species) are known to be other shark eaters, so is there like an alternative meat that they eat, or do they just stick to stingrays and bony fish?

That's a curious question, and I was quite inspired when I thought about how to answer it!✨

In the past, they used to hunt wild fish, but with the advent of the modern age, they stopped fishing and adapted entirely to the practice of pisciculture. 🐟✨

In a hypothetical future on this Earth, fish are incredibly larger and more abundant. Some have been domesticated, just as we humans used to do, and are treated with deep respect.

In order not to cover too much, I've focused only on the fish that have been domesticated for consumption in the region where my main characters live, called 'Aguazu'.🏝️✨

They are the descendants of species we know, such as Arapaima, Tuna, Tilapia, Sardines, Anchovies, Salmon, Cod, Octopus, Squid, Crab and Shrimp.

These are some of the typical dishes of the Aguazu region, most of which are variations on recipes handed down from the ancient human presence that marked this region a thousand years ago. Lots of seafood-based dishes with a spicy touch! 🌶️✨

Some of these dishes were inspired by real recipes from my country such as: Casquinha de Siri, Tuna Poke, Vatapá, Bobó de Camarão, Moqueca de Peixe, Octopus Rice, Acarajé, Cod Baked in Olive Oil, Cod Croquettes and the sweet dessert called Manjar, which is a coconut pudding with plum syrup!

Things like corn, wheat and other fruits, vegetables and animals domesticated by humans disappeared millions of years ago. So I wondered what other options they could find to use as the main ingredients.

Algae Flour, Palm Oil, Palm Butter, Coconut Milk, Palm Sugar, Domesticated Snake Eggs, Sea Salt. In the Santa Maré region, palm is widely used as the main ingredient, while other regions may prefer ingredients based on algae, for example.

Some domesticated fruits and vegetables are only used to season and enhance the flavor of dishes, but they don't make much difference to their bodies.

There was a time in the past when small and medium-sized sharks feared 'Niuhi', the name for large sharks that could devour smaller sharks such as the great white shark, great hammerhead shark, tiger shark and others.

However, this fear was unjustified, as when a smaller shark fell victim to a wild predator, the Niuhi were the first to be suspected. Fortunately, this has changed over time, although some small displays of prejudice still persist.

They eat several meals a day, and food is plentiful in this civilization, so the great sharks wouldn't need to devour their friends to satisfy their hunger, hehe.

And speaking of Roberto, my big hammerhead shark, if he gets really hungry, a Tuna Poke is enough to make him very happy and satiated! 🍣✨

Lover | Simon “Ghost” Riley x Wife!Reader

a/n: TAYLOR SWIFT 🫶 i’m more of a speak now girlie but FUCK MAN. LOVER GOT ME IN A CHOKEHOLD. (this is also an apology to @peachesofteal and @as-is-above-so-below to them being subjected to my antics and foreshadowing ☺️) did i mention this is the last part before i rip everything you know apart?

warnings: mentions of babies (of course), mentions of kids, child loss

summary: Christmas Eve is over. With enough paper cuts to last a lifetime, you just want Simon to know how much you love him with a song.

PREVIOUS << | >> NEXT

The dim light from the Christmas lights that lined your living room and Christmas tree lit up the room like warm firelight, you had finally finished wrapping the last present in blue and green spotted wrapping paper. It was getting late, Simon had already taken a bite out of the cookies Winnie was so excited to leave out for Santa, plus drank the entire glass of milk.

Your baby brother was asleep in the front room next to the stairs, the 141 settled and asleep in the guest room. Mellie had gone down with a belly full of formula and a face covered in kisses from her father, Winnie protested only for twenty minutes until your little brother convinced her that Santa wouldn’t come if she was awake. Simon kissed her face ten times before she finally got sick of him, stumbling over to Gaz for protection. Always the soft one, Gaz bundled her up in his arms with the blanket he had on him, holding her until she fell asleep on his chest. He had disappeared by 8pm to tuck her into bed, returning to sit on the couch to listen to one of your baby brother’s awful high school stories about setting a trash can on fire.

“Tommy, I’ll tell Mom.” You had remarked to your baby brother, he glared at you before sticking his tongue out and declaring that everyone was lame, and that he was going to bed. Soap and Gaz followed suit, saying that they were tired from playing all day and that they would see everyone in the morning. They went quietly into the guest room, Tommy complained from the front room that they were too loud. To which you closed the door between the living room and front room, grumbling about how dramatic he was.

Last to leave was Price. He sat with you and Simon as you forced your husband to help you wrap presents, Price was a little more helpful than Simon. Both him and you would wrap presents, you would wrap them in ribbons, then hand them to Simon so he could write down who it goes to. Price mumbled stories about having to wrap presents with his mum when he was younger, all for his cousins and his baby sister - who you learned died when she was fairly young. You couldn’t imagine how he could’ve felt when it happened, losing either Tommy or Dave would make you lose your mind; you couldn’t even think about how it effected his mum. He quickly glossed over it anyway, asking where the rest of the presents that he and the boys had brought went. Simon answered that they were in his office, under lock and key. He volunteered himself to go and get all of the already wrapped presents, leaving you two alone for a while until he brought them all down.

Price went to bed a little past midnight, you were starting to wrap the 141 presents by the time he did - he almost protested, saying he could still help but you were very stern on him going to bed. Your husband didn’t whisper a word of complaint as he hunched over, meticulously writing names and figuring out bows since his one chance to wrap something had failed miserably. It was fine though, you two sat in comfortable silence until he placed one of the last gifts under the Christmas tree. That was when he looked at the tree, his unmasked face illuminated in a warm glow.

There were moments where you were honestly stunned by his beauty. By all means, he was not the most beautiful man on Earth, but he was just perfect to you. The crooked nose from one too many breaks, the faded white lines across his face, the way his brown eyes gazed in childish wonder at the tree you had decorated with your baby brother. His hair was a little longer than usual, his normally shaved face was covered in stubble that your daughter liked to pull. You pressed your lips together, still memorizing his pink lips and the way one eyebrow was more arched than the other when he turned to look at you.

“Somethin’ the matter?”

You gazed back to the present in between your hands, a second-hand Nintendo DS with a couple cartridges of Nintendogs sat in the wrapped box. Soap was written in big letters - messy and all different sized, but that was Simon. He spent the most time on writing his children’s and his brother-in-law’s names, his brothers in arms wouldn’t mind. You thumbed over the little bow on it, making sure it was secure before placing it on the side of the large pile of presents. “Let’s keep the lights up for a while.”

Simon huffed through his nose. “Whatever you want, love.” He began to stretch his arms above his head, you could hear something pop and you quietly laughed. He eyed you before he reached a hand out for yours, you let him. He tugged you a little, leaning down to place a kiss on your lips, a smile appeared on your face as he said, “Good work, Mama.” His hand settled on your cheek, eyes full of sleepiness yet the myriad of love in them made your heart warm even more.

“Can I share something with you?” You asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

“You’re not pregnant again, right?”

You rolled your eyes, moving away from him to stand. You held your hand out for him, he took it as he moved to his feet. You shuffled away to the mantle of the fireplace, the fire in it slowly dying away to ash as the night became tiring. Your phone in your hand, you snatched the pair of wired earbuds you were using earlier while cleaning and moved back to your husband. You stood in front of him, pressing an earbud into his ear and then the other into yours. His eyebrows furrowed, his hands still at his side. You ran through your music library, picking out the song that seemed to remind you of him. Lover.

The guitar and drums began to softly play, you slipped your phone into his pocket.

Your arms hooked around his neck as his hands settled on the top of your hips, your fingers brushed through the wisps of curls at the base of his skull.

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January.

And this is our place, we make the rules.

And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear,

Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?

“What are we listening to?”

“Taylor Swift.” You smiled up at him. His nose scrunched.

“I don’t like Taylor Swift.”

You gently patted his chest with one hand and keeping it over his heart. “You just need to listen to her words then, ‘cause she says it better than I can.”

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

You gently rubbed his chest, the hand still behind his neck came down to his chest too - you could feel him breathe underneath your paper cut fingertips.

And ah, take me out, and take me home.

You're my, my, my, my,

Lover.

If there was a way you could’ve captured the moment his eyes softened, you would’ve. His brown eyes were always warm just for you, just for your girls, but it was as if they were made of honey in this moment - glittering in the firelight. His fingers dug just a little into your skin, barely noticeable.

We could let our friends crash in the living room,

This is our place, we make the call.

And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you,

I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all.

“You’re gonna be the death of me with that look, sweetheart.”

You giggled just a little. “It’s the only look I got.”

One hand curled around to your back, pulling you closer to him and forced your arms to go back around his neck. “You want all my summers, then? Is that what you’re saying?”

You shook your head just a little, letting your hips sway to the melody - moving your feet back and forth a little. And to your surprise, he followed suit. Using the hand in the curve of your spine, he kept you close to him and his old t-shirt and gingerbread man pajama pants Winnie insisted he wear. He looked beautiful in them anyway, though he’d stiffly disagree. “I do. I want every single season with you, my Simon whatever-your-middle-name-is Riley.”

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?

With every guitar string scar on my hand,

I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.

Your eyes couldn’t leave your husband’s if you even tried, it was easy to watch just how much love he had for you would spill through his gaze. The way his eyes lit up at that lyric, and how he watched your lips as you whispered the next lyrics to him,

“My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue,

All's well that ends well to end up with you.

Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover.

And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me,

And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover.”

“Oliver.”

Your eyebrows furrowed, the song still singing in your ear. “What?”

“My middle name.”

Your husband wasn’t always ready to share details with you, the man was a half-chiseled sculpture when it came to the knowledge you knew about him. You were slowly chipping away his strong defence, and this was a huge step.

“Simon Oliver Riley.” The extra word in the middle of the name you loved so much meant more than he knew, you leaned forward and kissed his cheek. Placing your head on his chest, tuning back into Taylor Swift’s soothing voice, hands moving to hold onto his back. “My Simon.”

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

And ah, take me out, and take me home,

You're my, my, my, my,

Oh, you're my, my, my, my,

Darling, you're my, my, my, my,

Lover.

“It’s so beautiful, Mummy,” Scorpius said in awe. You had just arrived at the town’s Christmas festival. It was Dickens themed, and you felt like you had stepped back in time. Everywhere you looked people were dressed like they had stepped out of Victorian London.

“It’s more English here than in England,” Draco chuckled wryly. This was the first time you had brought your husband and son back to your hometown in America. You met Draco while traveling abroad, fell in love, and stayed in England to be with him. You missed your extended family and wanted to show Draco and Scorpius where you had grown up, so Draco suggested spending Christmas there.

“I’ve always loved this festival,” you told him. “It’s so magical. And you know how much I love all things English.”

“Especially the men,” Draco replied, puffing out his chest slightly. You laughed merrily.

“Yes,” you agreed. “I am lucky enough to live with the two most handsome men in all of England!” Draco smiled and kissed you softly on the lips. He was a cold, calculating man to the rest of the world, but for you and Scorpius he was doting and loving.

“Mummy, can I please have some of that!” Scorpius pleaded, pointing to the booth with hot chocolate.

“Yes, my darling boy,” you said immediately. “That is the perfect way to warm up.” The three of you got in line and you looked around to see what else was near by. “I believe Santa is here somewhere. We’ll have to see if we can find him.”

“Yes!” Scorpius agreed enthusiastically. A few minutes later the three of you had piping hot chocolate. You walked along the booths looking at all the crafts and gifts for sale. When you spent just a little longer than normal looking at a gorgeous pair of earrings Draco insisted on buying them. The man had more money than God and spoiled you rotten.

You turned down the next street and saw a massive kid area set up. There were games and stalls selling junk food, face painting, and a massive inflatable slide.

“Mummy! Daddy!” Scorpius squealed and jumped up and down as he pointed towards the slide.

“Go on, baby,” you encouraged him. “Just remember to take your shoes off!”

“Why on Earth would he take his shoes off?” Draco asked.

“It’s just the policy with inflatables,” you explained. “Bouncy houses and slides. Shoes can damage them.”

“Scorpius, come back here!” Draco called out, but the little boy was already shoeless and climbing the stairs. “That thing is filthy. God knows what diseases he’ll pick up on it.” His face was creased in disgust.

“It’s fine, Draco,” you said with a wave of your hand. “Don’t be such a snob. I used to go on these things all the time, and I turned out fine.”

“Debatable,” Draco teased with a straight face. You playfully smacked his chest. Scorpius had made it to the top and screamed with joy the whole way down. He jumped off and ran over to you, his face beaming with happiness.

“Can I go again?” He asked breathlessly. Draco looked into the blissful eyes of his son, and his face softened.

“Of course,” Draco answered. “You can go on as many times as you want until we tell you it’s time to stop.”

“Really?” Scorpius bounced up and down with excitement.

“Yes,” Draco nodded. “Now get back up there.” Scorpius ran off to slide to his heart’s content. You were so proud of your husband. His upbringing had been privileged, but strict. He had very little fun as a child. It was wonderful to see him break from tradition and allow Scorpius to be a child.

“Have I told you today how much I love you?” You said and placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

“I believe you did this morning after I woke you up with my head between your—” you clapped your hand over his mouth and cut him off.

“Not around the kids,” you whispered. Draco chuckled against your hand and you removed it.

“Right,” he said. “I’ll just wait until we are back at your parent’s house. I’m sure Grandma would love to bake some cookies with Scorpius so I can spend an hour ravaging my wife.”

“You better not word it that way to my mother!” You gasped. He shrugged.

“Your mother adores me, and she wants more grandchildren,” Draco said simply. “She wouldn’t object to me breeding the fuck out of you all week long.” You felt your face warm and panties dampen at his filthy words.

“Mr. Malfoy, behave,” you said quietly. He wrapped his arm around your waist, pulled you in close to his side and nipped your ear.

“Never,” he whispered gruffly.

My secret santa gift for @idontwannadoablog! They asked for campers having fun in the snow, so here's Whispering Rock Psychic Winter Camp! Closeups and dialogue under the read more

Chloe: This frozen water is a curious earth phenomenon. And it's very suitable for making a scale model of the rocket ship I will need to build…

Bobby: Ha ha! This is the greatest snowman we've ever made! Benny: It's so realistic! Maloof: Please, let me out! I'm cold!

Franke: You're not making a snow angel, it's a snow Kitty!

Raz: What are you doing, Lili? Lili: All this snow is not good for the plants. Luckily it melts away real quick when I SET IT ON FIRE! Dogen: I set someone on fire once…

Milla: Don't worry darling, we'll get that beast away from you! Mikhail: No! This is fight between me and bear.

Nils: Winter, the worst season of all. The ladies wear so many layers of clothing, there's nothing to see! Elka: Hmph!

Crystal: Wow, the water in here must be really cold… I wonder how long you'd last if you fell in… Clem: Not very long, probably.

Elton: The fish say they don't like this weather. Because of the ice they can't see what's happening at the surface. Milka: …

Chops: Whoah! J.T.: Watch out partner! Phoebe: Aw man, I almost got him!

Vernon: All this snow reminds me of a story my uncle used to tell me… It was about a boy who climbed up a mountain because he wanted to go skiing. But when he was at the top he realized he forgot his skis. So he went down again. And then he grabbed his skis. And then he climbed up again. And then…

Krampus Baby

Me: we should write a cute little holiday blurb to publish on Christmas Eve, maybe something Hallmark-y, maybe some mistletoe -

Also Me: KRAMPUS EDDIE KRAMPUS EDDIE KRAMPUS EDDIE

So that's what we've got for you today, my lovelies!

CW: BDSM, allusions to punishment, brief descriptions of sex, implied future monsterfucking

“Babe, this isn’t what it looks like!”

“Oh, really? And what exactly does this look like, Eddie?!” Steve stood in the doorway to Eddie’s all-purpose-game-room-slash-music-studio-slash-office and glared at him, his arms crossed tightly across his chest. 

Eddie shot a frantic look at the guys. Gareth and Phil were very conveniently looking elsewhere (the traitors). Jeff, who was the only one brave enough to make eye contact with Eddie, just shook his head slowly. “You’re on your own, dude.” 

Well, shit.

The truth is, Eddie knew he was the only person to blame for the situation he’d found himself in. But in his defense, it’s not like there’s a manual that you get when you become a Krampus that says “hey, here’s how you tell your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/spouse/whatever that you’re a Krampus, meaning that you spend all of Christmas Eve travelling around your assigned region and birching people that Santa/Jesus/someone says needs to be scared onto the straight and narrow.” 

Well. Maybe he could have just led with that and gone from there?

Fuck, this would have been so much easier if he’d just agreed to be a Santa but no, his dramatic gay eighteen-year-old born-in-the-North-Pole ass just had to pick the more flamboyant career option. And sure, it was fun for a while – he’d always had a flair for theatrics and performing and every December 24 he gave the performance of a lifetime – but after about ten years of birching undeserving creeps he’d realized hey, maybe something like this could be fun the other 364 days of the year with humans he actually liked (or, ya know, that he at least thought were hot and wanted to get off with.)

And so Eddie the Krampus became Eddie Munson, training Dom at the Hellfire Club, and after twenty-seven years of walking this earth, he finally felt like everything in his life had fallen into place. Naturally that’s when he met Steve Harrington, a bratty little prince with perfect hair and an even more perfect ass and fell madly in love – far past the point of no return, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. He’d never really given a lot of serious thought to love or dating or anything like that because, you know, the whole Krampus thing, but from the moment he laid eyes on Steve his entire world had shifted to orbit around his beautiful, delightfully dorky, somewhat clueless human. Even more incredibly, Steve seemed to feel the same way because he'd given Eddie a key to his house after only four weeks of dating and happily reorganized his home so Eddie could have his own space and fuck, Eddie was going to marry this human and make him immortal and traipse all around the world with him until it was time for him the next generation of Krampus’ to take over.

(Krampusses? Krampusi? Krampussies? There really wasn’t a great plural form of his job title, was there?)

Right, it was a great plan, no, it was a perfect plan, because nothing could be better than almost-eternity with Steve. There was just one teeny tiny minor flaw with his plan, that being the fact that he, uh, forgot to tell Steve.

And now it was December 24th, and Eddie and the guys had finally gotten home from a long night of birching (which wasn’t really fun anymore now that Eddie got to punish someone he loved in a very, very fun way almost daily) and were unwinding with a beer when Steve had stormed in – Steve, who was asleep when Eddie left.

Steve, who was now seeing Eddie in his Krampus form for the first time (along with Jeff and Gareth and Phil). Steve, who looked angrier than the time that Eddie tried to experiment with forks in all of the electrical outlets in their house.

Steve, who was probably the first human to ever cause a Krampus nightmares.

“I can’t believe this. I seriously cannot fucking believe this, Eddie - ”

“Look, baby, I know this looks kind of crazy,” Eddie started slowly, extremely conscious of the way his horns protruded out of his hair, of the soot on his furry legs and the loud clopping sound his cloven hooves made as they tapped nervously on the floor. (He’d never felt bad about how he looked in this form; hell, he even thought he looked kind of hot. Not everyone can pull off the whole “burning-red-eyes-and-weirdly-long-tongue” thing like he could. But now that he found himself caught in Steve’s fiery gaze, he wanted nothing more than to disappear into a tiny ball, to make Steve forget that he’s ever looked like this.) “And I was meaning to tell you, I really was, but - ”

“Oh, really?” Steve scoffed, narrowing his eyes at Eddie even further. “You were meaning to tell me that you were punishing other people, is that what you’re trying to say?”

“ – wouldn’t believe me anyways, I mean, most people don’t believe in Krampus – wait, what?” Eddie cut off as Steve’s words worked their way into his brain. “I – what?”

“You heard me,” Steve scoffed again. “You just forgot to tell me you’re punishing other people? Even though we’ve been exclusive for almost a year? Even though you moved into my house?!”

“I – Steve, wait, it’s not like that - ”

“Oh, really,” Steve repeated himself, “so you didn’t spend Christmas Eve running around and whipping people who aren’t me?”

Eddie shot another look at the guys, all of whom looked as shocked as Eddie felt. (Except for Gareth, that little fucker was grinning like this was the funniest thing he’d ever witnessed.) “Steve, it’s not - ”

“It’s not like what, Eddie? It’s not like you threw a fit the one time someone else tried to Dom me but apparently that doesn’t go both ways! Apparently, I have to share you! You better not be fucking them, Eddie Munson,” Steve seethed, “because I swear to God – ”

“No, no, no! Steve, I wouldn’t, I would never,” Eddie raced out, cautiously stepping closer to his boyfriend. “And it’s not – it’s not like us, okay, it’s literally just punishment and nightmares and stuff. Most of them won’t even remember me tomorrow!”

“Oh, but some will?” 

“I – maybe?”

“What Eddie is trying to say,” Jeff saved him by jumping in, “is that this is just a job for us, man. It’s literally just a job. We really don’t get that sort of enjoyment out of it. Hell, most of us aren’t even in the lifestyle outside of this.”

“Yeah, Eddie’s just weird,” Gareth snickered, although he sobered somewhat when Eddie turned to glare at him.

“He loves you, man. He wouldn’t cheat,” Jeff finished. “That’s not what this is.”

Steve huffed, although the crease in his brow had softened somewhat. “You’re really a Krampus, then? And the horns and shit are real?”

“Yeah – yeah, super real, see?” Eddie said, grabbing hold of his horns and yanking them as hard as he could. Ouch. “This is just my Krampus form. I, uh, don’t wear it out all that often.”

“But you have horns.”

“Uh, yeah,” Eddie replied nervously.

Steve’s face went through a few emotions before settling on angry. “You mean I could have been holding onto your horns the entire time we’ve been fucking?”

Eddie heard the sound of someone choking loudly behind him, but he didn’t have the brain space to care about that; in fact, the only brain space he had was completely overrun by images of Steve on his back, hands gripped around Eddie’s horns as Eddie drove him further and further into their bed. “I, uh - ” 

“Well,” Steve cut off his blabbering with a cold look, “since it’s Christmas Eve and all, I might as well do a little punishing of my own.” He turned on his heel and stomped out of the doorway, pausing briefly to yell back over his shoulder. “You’re sleeping on the couch!”

“BABE!” Eddie whined back, stomping his hoof on the ground. “Until when?!?!”

“Until I say so!” Steve hollered as he disappeared out of view. 

“That went well,” Gareth said drily once Steve was out of earshot. The sound of their bedroom door slamming echoed into Eddie’s man-cave and all four Krampus’ winced.

“Yeah, good luck getting out of that one, man,” Phil said, and with a nod he disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Gareth snorted and followed suit, leaving Eddie and Jeff standing alone.

“Honestly, I really think it could have gone worse. You might need to speed up the timeline on that ring, though.” Jeff clapped Eddie on the shoulder. “Unless you have another plan.”

“Oh,” Eddie replied slowly, quietly, a maniacal grin spreading across his face. “I have a plan, all right.”

“Yeah, that doesn’t worry me at all,” Jeff rolled his eyes. “It’s your funeral, man.”

“Mmm,” Eddie hummed, thinking about the brand new switch he’d purchased for Steve – one of his many, many gifts for the man. “At least I’ll die doing what I love.”

“And that is?”

Eddie smirked even wider. “Why, punishing Steve.”

CUTE MASS EFFECT HEADCANON TIME (MOST OF WHICH HAVE LITTLE-TO-NO BASIS IN CANON) (POTENTIAL SPOILERS)

Tali, after ME1, fell in love with old spaghetti westerns, and trained herself how to quickdraw. Sometimes Adams, Gabby, or Ken will catch her practicing one-liners for when she's in the field (“Feeling lucky, Bosh'tet?”).

In every circumstance except for point-blank, Liara cannot aim for shit, and has more than once shot Shepard in the ass (and apologized profusely for it, afterward).

Shepard introduced the alien squad members to “old” Earth music, and will regularly blast it in the Mako, Shuttle, or Hammerhead. At first, they either rolled their eyes (Wrex and Grunt), or found it curious/outright enjoyable (Tali, Liara, Thane). By the third time Shepard plays music, everyone is singing along as loud as they can.

After the war (shhhh, Audemus' Happy Ending mod is canon to me, shhhh), Shepard introduces the alien squaddies to Christmas, and Wrex enlists the help of Garrus, Zaeed, Jack, and Grunt to try to kill Santa Claus. They end up falling asleep near the chimney, huddled up in a cuddle pile.

Shepard 100% bought the model kits (at first) just to waste Cerberus funds, because they are just THAT petty sometimes. They did later realize that the kits did serve as a nice distraction.

Omg i love this ep so much.  It was the absolute perfect way to introduce the new doctor to the show; Matt had some big shoes to fill after David but he did so perfectly in this episode.  All of the other doctors I had to get used to, and I especially thought I’d have to following my fav ten, but i immediately fell in love with 11 with this episode.

My Easter eggs and references for My Adventures with Superman comic issue 3 post is here

Spoilers if you have not read the comic

To start things off Clark is talking about enjoying the snow and Christmas and it will be his first Christmas in Metropolis. We get our title, a possible reference to The Man Who Fell to Earth, the novel by Walter Tevis where an alien who lands on Earth and seeks to bring his people there due to a drought on his home world. Very apt title for a Superman comic I should say.

Also check out Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight for a cool crossover between the DC heroes and Santa Claus, its FUCKING AWESOME!

We then see Clark talking about his Christmas experience back in Kansas with Ma and Pa Kent, but he'll be all alone on his first Christmas in Metropolis. Luckily for him Lois and Jimmy are planning special for him but they need the other Daily Planet trio to distract Clark from figuring out the plans. I talked more about them here.

Back at their office Jimmy and Lois plan out what they'll do for Clark's Christmas in Metropolis and Jimmy mentions the Metropolis Monarchs, Metropolis' baseball team who are first mentioned in Atlas of the DC Universe. We also see Kaiju Parasite/Ivo and Overman in the next panel, both of which I talk about here, here, here, and here.

Trouble happens when the Daily Planet begins to topple over and Superman goes to put it back but notices hand prints that melted the base of the building. He, Lois, and Jimmy investigate in the sewers and sees an Amazo robot inspired Parasite. I talked more about the Amazo robot and Parasite here and here, they're the same links as the ones above in the previous section in case you missed them. The Parasite suit here is more Amazo inspired thanks to the green striping on the body.

The second Parasite is able to adapt to Superman's powers like his super strength and before it gets taken down my the US military it tell Superman to "please save me". Robert DuBois arrives on the scene to clear the Parasite's body away. That name may sound familiar to you if you saw the latest Suicide Squad movie because...

Robert DuBois is Bloodsport. He makes his first appearance in Superman #4 (1987) [Cover art by John Byrne]. In the comics Robert was supposed to be drafted for the Vietnam War, but was afraid to go and fled to Canada so his brother, Mickey went instead. Unfortunately Mickey lost his arms and legs and that scarred Robert who then seeked help at the Canadian psychiatric wards.

Lex would then find Robert and outfit him with his outfit you see on the cover and give him weapons that fired green Kryptonite to hopefully kill Superman and a teleportation device that can teleport any weapon he wants to his hands.

Luckily Robert surrendered after Jimmy was able to locate his brother to tell him to stop his rampage and give up and was sentenced to Stryker's Island.

Other Bloodsports have taken up the mantle after Robert, such as Alex Trent, a racist piece of shit, and an unnamed person who dressed similarly to Robert's Bloodsport costume. But the one pop culture knows is Robert DuBois who was played by Idris Elba in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad movie from 2021.

In current continuity we see Robert be more designed to look like his movie counterpart and being part of the Suicide Squad too as shown here from Suicide Squad #5 (2021) [W: Robbie Thompson, P&I: Dexter Soy, Eduardo Pansica, Joe Prado, and Julio Ferreira, C: Alex Sinclair, L: Wes Abbot] where he is on Earth - 3, the evil counterparts Earth for a Task Force X mission.

And speaking of shady DC organizations Slade name drops Checkmate. I talked about both of them here and here.

With that, we finally end our Easter egg and references hunt in My Adventures with Superman #1! Be sure to pick up a copy from your local comic shop and remember to preorder issue 2 when it comes out next month! Preordering books lets DC know there are fans for this series! If you like Superman, My Adventures with Superman, or DC in general give this comic a shot! Take it from me a former comic shop employee during college.

I'll see you all again next week for episode 4 of My Adventures with Superman and next month for issue 2 of the comic!

masterlist

~~~~~~~~~~

David : The full moon shone over the two sitting on the cliff. After a long ride on David's motorbike, the two had decided to go to the place where they had met. For them it was a simple evening walk but for the vampire with the ice blue eyes it was everything. Her blood, her smell, her appearance - it seemed to take him over completely at the time. It still did. But now as he moved his head to look at her he couldn't help but smile. The moonlight falling on her made her even more beautiful in his eyes. The soft smile on her lips, her eyes searching the sky for stars. Every time she was happy to see bats in the dark. ,,Hello Earth to David" he suddenly heard and saw her waving her hand in front of his face. Confused at first, he saw what she wanted. The cigarette between her lips was not lit and his was. ,,Sorry bat here," he said with a grin and leaned forward slightly to do the same. His leather-gloved hand went to her own. Stroked each finger before they both leaned forward the last bit. The tips of the cigarettes tapped against each other before hers ignited slightly and the two withdrew. ,,Thank you, sweetheart," she replied, taking the first drag of the drug before letting the smoke escape into the night. Before she leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek before leaning against him. The two of them would spend the night and eternity together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dwayne : The sound of the two motorbikes echoed through the night as the two lovers raced along the streets. They had a destination, or rather his heart had a destination. The moon that showed them the way and reminded him of their first meeting. The black-haired man turned his gaze to her who was driving behind him. One night when he met her on the road with a broken down motorbike. He was her handsome knight in distress and they had spent that night together. But now it was a little different as the bikes were running and the destination was set. A few more moments of riding and they arrived at a large area behind one of the few hills in Santa Carla. Dismounting and putting an arm around her side, he pulled her gently against him, hearing the smirk on his romantic face. ,,I discovered it by accident," he began as the yellow flowers appeared on the surface. He saw the surprise on her face as she crouched down in the field and gently stroked the flowers. ,,Scented night candles a night bloomer" he explained and was pleased to see her smile before he sat down with her. He gently took hold of one of the flowers and pulled it out. Gave it to an even more beautiful flower and put it in her hair. Watched her beauty melt into the flowers before he placed a hand on her cheek. He ran his hand over her soft skin before pulling her closer. ,,Thank you Dwayne," he heard her murmur before she overcame the last moments between them and gave him a kiss. He felt her slowly pull him down and the two of them lay in the night blooming meadow. Just the two of them illuminated by the moon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paul : The first thing he noticed when he woke up was that his brothers were gone and that there was a sweet smell in the air. Looking around in confusion and already wanting to call for the others, he suddenly felt a cold body next to him. ,, Bunny?" he asked, slightly confused, and saw that they were in a different hell from their home. Turning to his love he gave her a gentle good morning kiss. Before he looked around again to see where they were. The cave was larger, more decorated and at second glance seemed almost like a small fair. Before his eyes fell on the many tins of blood around them and the remains of masses of popcorn and candy floss. Slowly the memories of the night came back and he vaguely remembered how he suddenly had several little horses from the carousel in his hands. His love of tinned blood and how they ran away from the police and some surf nazis before they had their party here. ,,Paul? I think we've overdone it," he heard her voice as she sat up next to him and the blanket that must have once been a flag of something covered their naked bodies. But when the two looked at each other they couldn't help but fall into another hearty fit of amused laughter. He felt the joy and love inside him. Loved her for her ideas and for going along with everything no matter how drunk they were on blood. ,,Quite a mess," she murmured, but Paul suddenly ran his hands through her hair. ,,Your hair just like that," he murmured and heard the giggle before she could continue, however, he had pulled her onto his lap. Before he ran his hands through her hair and straightened it a little. ,,My pretty bunny," he murmured as he hugged her from behind and held her close. Just holding her close to him. For the moment when there was only the two of them in their shared hell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marko : The night was dark and lit only by the bloody moon as the two vampires flew through the night. Chasing each other and in a playful chase. Again and again they flew around each other chasing each other before the blonde heard sounds from the sea. ,, Honey, it's time" he murmured and he saw her pointed teeth flashing in the moonlight. His dead heart seemed to beat again and besides the rush of blood, she was incredibly attractive to him. Flying down to the beach they soon found themselves in front of a group of hapless Kamper. He saw her crack her fingers felt his own beast increase. Before the two of them pounced on the group, killing one after the other, dismembering, sucking, feasting and reveling in the violence. Clenching his teeth into the throat of one of his victims, he saw his heart standing behind the firelight. Saw how the fire cast pretty shadows on her body. Their victim's blood flowed over them because of the amount of light. Her wild eyes searched for more prey before the blonde threw her another victim. ,,Such a pretty creature," she heard him say, giving him a warm loving smile in all the chaos, which made him smile. Before he went over to her, ignoring the blood and the bodies, and pulled her into a deep kiss. He licked the blood from her lip and deepened the kiss even more. The bloody night was a night of love for both of them.

Santa's kiss

Summary

As Aziraphale crosses Whickber Street that morning, he is approached by several of his acquaintances who seem concerned about his relationship with Crowley. Confused, he begins to understand when he hears Muriel humming a song as he arrives at the bookshop.

INEFFABLE ADVENT CALENDER

On Ao3

Rating G -  1119 words

"Two cinnamon rolls and two Latte, please, Nina."

"I'll bring them right away."

"Thank you."

Nina returned a few moments later with Aziraphale's order and asked with a more thoughtful expression than usual, "Are you okay?"

Aziraphale frowned and replied, "Yes, very well."

Nina, now looking worried, asked, strangely hesitant, "Is everything okay between you and Crowley?"

The even more confused Angel replied, "Yes, perfectly fine. Why these questions?"

Nina shook her head before replying, "Nothing, I must have gotten the wrong idea.

Aziraphale had no choice but to grab his order and leave as the line of customers waiting to be served grew behind him.

After leaving the coffee shop, he made his way to Maggie's store. Before he reached his destination, he saw Mr. Brown and grumbled inwardly as he saw the dull man approaching.

The redhead looked strangely sympathetic as he said, "Mr. Fell, I was so sorry to hear of your predicament. I know we're not the best of friends, but I'm willing to listen if you need me."

Azirapahle shook his head and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Mr. Brown nodded and replied in a compassionate tone, "I understand it's hard to talk about. But just know that I'm here if you need me."

Then he walked away, leaving an even more confused Aziraphale standing in the middle of the street. 

Aziraphale shook his head and made his way to Maggie's shop. No sooner had he placed the coffees and pastries on the counter than he found himself in a hug and Maggie's voice saying in a sad tone, "Oh, Aziraphale, I'm so sorry for you. Really, I never thought Crowley would be capable of something like this."

Aziraphale struggled a bit to break free of Maggie's embrace and asked her in an alarmed tone, "What on earth are you talking about, what are you all talking about this morning?"

Maggie gasped in shock and replied, "You mean you don't know?"

"About what? Damn it!!!"

Maggie shook her head and sheepishly replied, "I can't tell you. But we all heard Muriel singing on the street this morning and... no! You've got to hear it for yourself."

Aziraphale, now genuinely concerned, left Maggie's shop, abandoning coffee and pastries, and walked briskly toward the bookshop.

A few moments later, he entered the bookshop and was greeted by Muriel, who was singing and dancing to the rhythm of their song while shelving books.

At first amused, his mood changed when he realized what the other angel was singing.

“I saw Crowley kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night

He didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peep

He thought that I was tucked up

In my bedroom fast asleep”

Aziraphale felt his cheeks turn scarlet and understood the reactions of the people he'd met this morning, if indeed Muriel had hummed that on the street.

What they all didn't know was that the Santa Claus in question was himself. Crowley had asked him to play Santa for a Christmas party at the planetarium, and when Aziraphale had agreed, the demon had thanked him in the sweetest way possible.

Aziraphale had just snapped his fingers and found himself dressed in the full Santa outfit, white beard included.

The angel asked the demon, "Are you sure this is okay?"

Crowley nodded, "Perfect!"

Aziraphale, still dressed as Santa, sat down in the armchair and asked in a loud voice, "Tell me, Crowley, have you been good this year?"

Crowley approached him and, with a mischievous smile on his lips, replied, "I'm a demon, Santa, I'm never good," then, as if to put his money where his mouth was, he climbed onto Aziraphale's knees and sat astride the angel's lap.

Then, after wrapping his arms around Santa Aziraphale's neck, he whispered, bringing his face close to the bearded face, "But I can make it up to you."

Knowing exactly what his mischievous demon was getting at, Aziraphale laughed softly and replied, slightly tantalizingly, "Show me."

Crowley closed the distance between them and pressed his lips to the angel's, making every effort to show the angel how good he could be.

It was this moment that Muriel had probably caught and that the people of Whickber Street had misinterpreted.

Aziraphale interrupted Muriel, "Um... you know it was me who played Santa last night."

Muriel didn't lose their smile and nodded before replying, "Of course I know. Crowley wouldn't kiss anyone but you."

Aziraphale, both delighted at what the other angel had just said and embarrassed that they had caught them like that again, was about to apologize when two arms wrapped around his waist and a chin rested on his shoulder as a more than familiar voice asked, "What are my two angels up to?"

Turning in the demon's arms, Aziraphale replied, "We're trying to make up for a little indiscretion."

At the demon's puzzled look, Aziraphale told him about his morning encounters and the reason for them, and by the end of his tale, Crowley was laughing his head off.

In between laughs, he managed to say, "So I'm a terrible person who cheated on you with Santa Claus. Angel, you have to admit, in the millennia of our existence, that's one of the funniest stories we've ever been a part of."

Aziraphale could only laugh with him, but when they calmed down, he said in a more serious voice, "But, my dear, I don't want people to continue to believe that. I don't think it's fair to you."

Crowley shrugged and replied, "Bah, the rumor will die as fast as it spread."

Aziraphale continued to frown, obviously disagreeing because he hated it when people misunderstood Crowley's nature.

Suddenly, Muriel stood in front of them and took each of their hands, making them hold hands before snapping their fingers.

Aziraphale found himself dressed as Santa again.

The angel and the demon looked at each other, then at Muriel in confusion.

The other angel said cheerfully, "Now let me out first, and then come out like this.

They watched, still confused, as Muriel left the store and suddenly heard them singing, innocently, as they walked down the street.

"I saw Crowley kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe right now.

They didn't see me creep

Along the shelves to have a peep

Whickber Street doesn't know that

Mister Fell is under Santa's hat."

They couldn't hold back their laughter, then Crowley took Aziraphale's hand in his and asked quietly, "Are you ready to face the rumor mongers?"

Aziraphale returned Crowley's squeeze and replied, "With you? Always."

Together, they walked out of the bookshop hand in hand, ready to shake up the gossip on Whickber Street.

Ineffable Husbands masterlist : here (Before season 2)

[littldoctor]

Just watched the runaway bride and thought it was magnificent I did end up crying again bc Donna is like "you need someone to stop you" and the Doctor's face just fell, like complete devastation and then when she asks him for her name one last time his eyes just shine with contained tears and even his voice sounds thin and unstable and he says her name again and just leaves.

Like, he was so angry and sad at the beginning, with this screaming lady inside his ship and her taking Rose's shirt and telling him it was not the first time he kidnapped a woman before and his face, literally, he seems so lifeless for a moment there at the beginning, just hollow, no life, no excitement, no emotions, just a shell of a man.

And he tells her he lost her, but doesn't elaborate obviously and when he asks Donna to trust him, to jump into the tardis while being in a car on a highway and she yells at him "did your friend trust you? The one you lost?" and just it broke my heart, but he tells her "she's not dead, she's so alive." and that is true and it just hurts all over again bc she's alive but he lost her either way.

And the first time she ask for her name the doctor just changes the topic without a thought, just a wall there, like, no. We're not gonna talk about that. And Donna just has to deal with it.

Also the bit where he sees the blonde girl dancing and they just show bits of new earth when he helped rose up and held her, that, that nearly killed me, like really, how am I crying while some dude is fighting robots dressed as santa in a failed weeding? Like how did I end up here?

The moment where he asks her that she could go with him and travel just made me bawl my eyes out, the "you could come with me." of the doctor and Donna just literally said no so fast and he was like okay ill just leave then. She tries to get him to eat Christmas Dinner with her mainly and her bc he told her he did last year with his friend's family but he refused as well, literally was about to fly off but Donna screamed his name so he opened the door again and then she telling him he's going to find someone or something like that, that he can't be alone or that he won't and like, literally he just lost that, he lost his forever, he lost his Rose, his motivation, his everything.

And now there it is, another human telling him he's going to find that not knowing that he had it, but she won't go with him, she tells him to his face it is terrifying, that his way of life is too much, that he's going too fast.

Literally the doctor was just about to stop, he was literally heartbroken and just forced himself into working again to save Donna, if she hadn't appeared maybe the doctor would have just drifted away for centuries, mourning and grieving, and sure it wasn't healthy to just force himself into action again without a second to mourn Rose, but like there weren't any good alternatives left, really.

I loved this episode I really did, but as much as it made me laugh it made me cry bc the doctor just sees Rose everywhere and it's clear he's going towards a path of self-destruction now, without anyone to tell him when it is enough.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

It wasn’t your first Christmas. It was your third Christmas however, this was the first one that you would be able to remember. The last two years you were to young, you had no idea what was going on. But this year you knew, you were excited you. Incredibly excited.

Luckily for you, your father, Gojo, was very over the top so he was very glad to do every thing you wanted for the holidays. There wasn’t a part of the home that wasn’t decorated. You even had a tree in your own room. Although it was small and had only plastic ornaments as he feared you could accidentally hurt yourself. He also didn’t let you have a star on the tree, once again because he was scared you could hurt yourself.

Gojo moves quietly through the home, he only hoped you were asleep by now. He needed to get your many, many presents out from their hiding place and put them under the tree. He almost shrieks at the sight of a small shadowy figure sitting by the window.

“Baby, what’re you doing?” He asks, realizing it’s just you. He can sort of see you with the lights from the Christmas tree. You look at him before looking back at the window. “Waiting” you say simply, trying to keep yourself awake as it was quite late for you. You have two of your socks next to you. Out of all of the decorations, you didn't have stockings. You didn’t ask for them. But you kept your socks next to you because you didn’t know how to hang them up.

“Waiting for Santa” you say, smiling a bit as you turn from the window to look at the plate of cookies you and Gojo had made earlier. You are just to adorable. Gojo needed you to go to bed but he also couldn’t make you upset by making you go to bed! He often let you get away with things because he just wanted to spoil you.

“Well, y’know, Santa won’t come unless you’re asleep” Gojo says, watching your head whip around to him as if you had just heard earth shattering news. He grabs the two socks you had set out, quickly hanging them above the fireplace as you wanted to do.

“So you should probably go to bed, huh?” He says, watching you jump up off of the window. You grab his hand as you run to your room. You quickly climb into your bed, waiting for Gojo to kiss you goodnight. Of course, he does so before sitting next to your bed.

Gojo often sat by your bed as you fell asleep and even sometimes stayed to watch you sleep. It may seem creepy to some but he wants to make sure you’re safe. Being a Jujutsu Sorcerer, he’s seen so many people get hurt. He can’t let you get hurt ever. He needs to make sure you’re safe.

He finally stands up and leaves when he hears your breath even out as your finally asleep. Gojo can’t wait until you finally wake up in the morning, he can’t wait to see you smile at the present you got.

Your smile shows him that you’re happy and safe.

My Top 10 BL's of 2022

I am Back with my BL drama top 10, I might’ve been quiet but I have been actively watching BL dramas. Remember this is my opinion and you might not agree with it but I made up my mind and these are my top-tier BL’s of 2022😎❤️‍🔥

10. Cherry Blossoms after winter 7,8/10

This heartwarming BL was something that I needed when I watched it. I wished it was again longer though because it just didn't feel finished yet and was sometimes a bit rushed. Like I would love to see more about them as high schoolers, especially with that bully storyline, and then the College part was also short or the acceptance of his mom, that could've gone better I feel. But other than that I loved the chemistry between our main leads. The tension was there every time, so that was a big plus, and just their whole relationship, it made me feel warm.

09. To My star 2 8/10

We all know what I am going to say...Again way too short, also I was super confused when I started watching. The sudden jump in time and then back. I was so confused and heartbroken as well. Thankfully everything got clear throughout the other episodes but yeah. This BL definitely did not disappoint as sequel and I can't thank them enough for making it because I feel like we finally got real closure and to see them, in the end, being happy together made me feel so warm and for a change, I didn't feel sad when it ended because they were happy and I felt that happiness. These two actors are definitely amazing together.

08. Cutie Pie 8,5/10

I wanted to watch this because of Zee and mainly for Zee but when the first episode aired I was hooked. I love Nunew and his chemistry with Zee but not only them, also the friends were amazing. I fell for Syn & Nuer even though I disliked Nuer at first because he was after Kuea but that changed when his attention went to Syn, and from that moment they had my heart. Of course, we can't forget about Nat and Max who are playing Yi and Khondiao because they were brilliant as well. Now I have to admit that I probably said every single episode that I was in love with Zee, which isn't a lie because this man can act, the way Lian looks at Kuea, I think I drowned every single time. The reason I give this an 8,5 is simply because of miscommunication, also the sudden change from hate to love was like huh? like why you tell him you don't love him but the next day you suddenly do. The purposely hurting your lover just because you want to see who he really is? yeah, it didn't sit well with me but that being said it's still a good BL for sure!!

07. Love Mechanics 8,9/10

The BL that I have been waiting for, for what is it 2 years!! Did I maybe overhype it in my head, yes I did. Now I have to say that I think what they did was brilliant because the NC scene in the first episode wasn't forced anymore, because both were under influence, still not completely okay but it's better than before.. I love Yinwar because their chemistry has always been on point but with this 2-year gap it's nice to see how much they grew and the acting was so much better. Now what I didn't like and this is kind of a pet peeve of mine with BL's is the lack of communication and with this BL that was definitely the case, no one wanted to listen to one and another, which left to heartache which wasn't necessary at all and also the Yeehwa involvement which often led to the misunderstandings, was annoying to me but other than that I loved Yinwar portraying Vee and Mark because together they were brilliant.

06. My Only 12% 9,1/10

When I started watching this, I knew I was set up to cry a lot and that was not a lie the first few episodes, I cried a lot. I really have to give it to Earth & Santa because I was completely invested in their relationship. Earth is really a brilliant actor and knows how to make you cry your eyes out! I think the sudden change in character was brilliantly done. the way the roles were reversed in which Cake was now the one that got treated how he treated Eiw first. I loved that a lot. I think Santa was brilliant in expressing the jealousy he felt as Cake for Eiw and I do think it's good that he actually spoke his mind, even though it hurt Eiw. I love how Cake is there for Eiw even in the most difficult part of life. I just loved it. I just really think this was a seriously good BL.

05. The Eclipse 9.3/10

The Eclipse, another GMMTV BL, which is brilliant. Now I only knew Khaotung as a light-hearted goofy character so I was pleasantly surprised to see him being this badass guy who isn't afraid to stand his ground and then he was paired up with First, who played the brainwashed perfect. This is amazing and I love how they change when they are together. Now I must admit that I am not crazy about their school being this crazy ass cult, I just hate Cults and everything surrounding it, it's creepy to me but other than that this is an amazing BL. I love seeing people fight for what they believe in and their rights, and I am totally on board with it. I also have to praise Neo for his character in this BL, I LOVE seeing him play a serious character, it just suits him so so much better and I love that he is paired up with Louis, they have such great chemistry! I do hope we get more projects with Khaotung and First because they are perfect together.

04. Not Me - 9,5/10

Not me was a surprise to me because I had kind of forgotten about it until I suddenly saw the trailer popping up again. I loved this cast and especially, Offgun & First, Fluke, they really were outstanding. The rest of the cast of course! I love how Off finally played a serious character instead of the goofy player kind of person because he can pull it off so well. I was very impressed with every episode. Gun also was outstanding as Black & White, I love it when he plays characters like this, it really suits him, and also he was playing a twin. Then we have the side couple Fluke and First, they were brilliant, I felt their emotions through every scene and when that scene with Yok in the hospital happened I was a sobbing mess. The reason I gave this a 9.5 is that I already knew who put Black in the hospital and also I felt somewhat disappointed with Grams character, I was so convinced that he was in love with Black but then he suddenly wasn't but other than that this was brilliant and refreshing!

03. Semantic Error 9.7/10

Semantic Error, what a fantastic Korean BL this was. I was hooked from the start and loved the dynamics between the two main leads Park Seoham(Jaeyoung) & Park Jaechan(Sangwoo). I cannot express my love for this drama enough. I was obsessed with it and it's now one of my comfort BL's. I love how Sangwoo's hate changed into Love. It was definitely a battle within himself and the way Jaeyoung stayed patient with him, was just amazing. The reason why it has a 9.5 rating is that for me it was too short but this is always the case with Korean BL's, I do have to admit that I was already happy that the episodes were a bit longer this time around but yeah other than that it was a perfect warm BL.

02. KinnPorsche La Forte - 9,9/10

This Bl was THE BL that I had been waiting for, for over a year if not more and it did NOT disappoint. It took me on a real rollercoaster of emotions. I went in for KinnPorsche and I enjoyed them a lot. I laughed a lot because they might have the worst bodyguards, but who cares. The chemistry between Apo and Mile was amazing and I couldn't help but feel flustered at times....like that scene in the bathroom..but yeah they were amazing. I also fell for KimChay. These two cuties, one that loves too much and one who didn't know how to accept that love, very Taylor swift if you ask me but I loved every second of it and I really hope they will give them their own side story! Now Tankhun..This man was brilliant, I never laughed this hard while watching a BL, I applaud Tong for his brilliant acting! Now the couple that took over this BL and that was VegasPete. The way I fell for them was no joke. I was obsessed and still am. The angst between them and the way they fell for each other and then that scene where Vegas got shot. Everything was perfect. Now you are wondering why 9.9. I think they started too late with VegasPete's story and I want more of KimChay!

01. Love In The Air - 10/10

Love in the Air was THE surprise of this year, at least for me. I didn't know much about this BL until I randomly came across it a few weeks before it would air BUT boy did it leave an impression. BossNoeul & FortPeak did terrific jobs, especially since they are new actors. I have never seen a BL Drama where there was so much love and communication. PayuRain didn't really have a plot but this was not something that I missed because I thought their love story was wholesome. everything was perfect. Their Chemistry was top notch and I just loved everything about them! FortPeak also was amazing. The way Peak portrayed Sky was brilliant; you could feel his pain and how Fort showed how Prapai changed for Sky was amazing. The pain Sky had been through and for Pai to be the one that opened his heart again and even saved him, I have been in awe and pain and in love the entire time while watching this BL, so I think it's fair enough that this BL is at the top of my list for 2022. In my eyes, this was the best one!

Newish Comics:

Batman-Santa Claus: Silent Knight #4: I’m still grumpy they put Babs in the Bat suit for this given she contributed NOTHING. Had to laugh at Damian asking for his own Brother Eye, age 5. Jaime is the sweetest boy alive.

The Flash #3: I am so onboard with the weird eldritch stuff happening in this run. Even when it’s occasionally stuff that makes me go ‘I haven’t read enough Flash to get the context of this’.

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #2: goddamn this is good. Just…ahhhhh. Really well told.

Amazons Attack #2: VERONICA CALE SIGHTING AHAHAHAHA. Also Josie Campbell is having fun with Mary and Dr Georgia Sivana and I can’t blame her even if yes this is supposed to be about the Amazons.

City Boy #6: the orphan collective at the end helping Cameron deal with the loss of his mother was actually quite sweet.

In any case I now want more Cameron teaming up with Jack Hawksmoor and just more Cameron.

Put him on a team, DC!

Green Arrow #6: *stares deep into Josh Williamson’s eyes* don’t you DARE pull an ‘Ollie was at the circus’.

(Sigh evil Waller is so BORING DC)

Action Comics #1059: what this story is doing with Otho is really interesting.

The Kenan story is really just there to explain team moves but also Kenan’s trying SO HARD.

Warlord #28: Welcome back, Mike Grell’s bondage kink. I’ve missed you.

Today in improbable Skartaris science (it’s been a hot minute) a meteor fell right through the hole in the Earth at the North Pole into Skartaris.

Fragments of the meteor turned some Skartarian locals into Cobra ladies here. Travis gets tied up by them and spends three whole pages in bondage before the Cobra Queen cuts him out to try and romance (and kill) him.

He then fights the Cobra Queen (in snake form) for another two pages of good tentacle style bondage.

Never change, Mike Grell. Keep drawing this comic exactly in line with your ideal kinks.

Also a Mariah mention! Keep fighting for equal rights and Communism, Mariah!

You’re a scientist! Never forget that!

(Also Mariah and Machiste get together but that’s less interesting)
