[honeybcj]

Hii honeey, how are you? Aren't you sick of seeing my name yet? Anyways just wanted to tell you that I have reread "cherry bomb" again today and I lovelovelove it so much! Bartylily is my guilty pleasure and your fic is one of my favorites out there! I'm also curious if you're gonna write more chapters or bartylily in general? If not can I pretty pretty please get some hcs about them? 👉🏼👈🏼🥹

hi loonie <333 so so sorry it took me so long to get around to this one! i will never be sick of seeing your name in my asks!!! RAHHH anything to talk more about bartylily!!!

i definitely have started writing another part to “cherry bomb!” but i don’t have anything solidified just yet. it’s still in the early stages. i do hope to have it getting somewhere in the next couple months or so, but i’ve committed myself to multiple fic fests 🤠 so other works of mine are pretty much on the back burner. it makes me really emotional that you enjoy “cherry bomb!” so much. i was sooo nervous about posting it, especially because there aren’t many fics for that ship. so to hear that it’s one of your favorites??? mind-blowing.

i’m also going to add a few headcanons because i adore you <3:

— lily is a little whimsy, insufferable know-it-all but i still love her with my entire being. it works because barty is Equally an insufferable know-it-all, but in the i’ve consumed my fair share of drugs for the both of us and they are constantly butting heads even though they “Hate” each other

— they are the kind of couple that calls chainsmoking out on the front porch a date night maybe ending the night fuckin under the porch lights cause there’s no neighbors in sight

— now kinda going off the previous one, to me, they are the definition of far out in the back country, potentially living in the cutest little farm house that is most definitely Not them but also them in the same aspect??? they’re the most out of place fuckers in the area but everyone in town in just like damn, someone got barty crouch jr to settle down but it’s soooo far from that because barty brings lily so much peace that she had stripped from her growing up because she was the Smart Kid, working hard, smile on her face kinda schtick.

— barty is the manager at the single gas station in town and lily frequently stops by just to snap her gum and chat his ear off, wearing one of those oversized fur coats, even in the middle of summer and Everyone is a bit in love with lily, but behind their backs, she flips them all off and kisses the life out of barty in the same breath.

[songofwizardry]

critical role thoughts time again! damn this arc just keeps on giving us episodes like this huh. spoilers for c2e129 under the cut.

first off AAAAAAAAAHHHHH

shout out to liam for accurately summarising how I felt at the end of the episode: I went in thinking "thank fuck, they got away, they just gotta lie low and get some sleep it'll all be FINE" oops nope never mind

before I get into the actual story and my overload of screaming and emotions about it, more to remind myself than anything else: this stuff is all what *makes* good stories. not-the-most-clever character decisions. fraught moments. having to choose between two really shitty options. tension in extremely unsafe places (and lbr, both the happy fun ball and the fucking plane of fire are objectively v unsafe places! the tension and the fact that neither of those places were safe makes sense!). conflict and guilt and character death. all good story material. soooo yeah these have been very intense episodes, but fuck, these make for some good stories!

first off: the happy fun ball! I always forget how much I loved the episodes we spent in there, it's such an interesting (& terrifying & promising) place

I absolutely LOVED the fact that Yasha could break the door down but it resulted in untethering the rooms from each other. what a brilliant way to keep them moving but also having there be consequences.

the entire imagery of the void and the hallway falling away was so good

... the mighty nein's motto really could be "curiosity before caution", couldn't it. these fuckers, I love them for it

can't believe I was so stressed about the golem I was not prepared for what came next!

team fireplane time!

I was paying lots of attention to Liam's descriptions of Caleb and how he's behaving this episode and look ok he's very good at playing the aftermath of all that traumatic shit with Trent and Vergesson &... my heart ok.

side note: this is more re last episode, but it means a lot to me that Caleb was able to... like, stand his ground and tell Trent to fuck off repeatedly when Trent kept insisting he "just wants to talk", and that the M9 refused to let him go back to Trent, like, that is one abusive and manipulative and extremely honey-tongued man and I did see stuff in twitch chat being like "oh if Caleb had just spoken to Trent this wouldn't have happened" which... nope, it means so much to me that they have settled on "nope fuck this asshole"

Veth's high rolls are so wild I love them, rogues y'all

Matt honestly fucking KILLED it this episode, this really felt like the episode for the families to shine, and Marion, Yeza and Luc all have such strong characters and Matt plays them SO well! I loved every second of it. also I will never not be impressed at Matt managing social situations with multiple npcs.

Luc and Caduceus talking about farts is the adorablest thing, new favourite dynamic

oh boy that combat huh. wow. wtf.

love that Luc tried to shoot the elemental this kid

we're just not gonna talk about everyone's faces when Matt rolled damage for the explosion thing that hit the families, bc I cannot Handle that. it's fine it's all fine

okay but fate just DOES NOT work normally around this game, how tf do you explain those two successive nat 20s from Veth, that was incredible and just. narratively perfect. I loved it I was full on crying at this point.

Cad's hdywtdt was very good

speaking of Cad! this is the first time in a while we've had a revivify! Cad's whole prayer was lovely, and I do like the detail of bugs and moss covering Luc. but mostly I loved the detail of Yeza going up to him and thanking him

the quiet, calm, determination of Yeza Brenatto saying make them pay will stick in my head for a long long time

the sigh of relief I let out when the dome finally went up. my god.

hey hey caleb asked Jester to help him with the collar and it fucking worked, finally, after all these attempts on like the longest of long days when they're all fucking tapped. I was not expecting that! a win!! and he explicitly told her it was for Trent!

look it just. watching Caleb's reaction to Trent coming close to his new family makes me feel things, okay, and the poetic justice of Trent whose manipulative words are as much of a weapon as his magic getting a silencing collar is. pretty fucking delicious.

a lot of the fanfic on the last week has had bits of interaction between Marion and Caleb and I am delighted to see that in canon too!!!

Marion: "if there's one thing I've come to know, it's that the good people are easy to be mislead to think they're at fault for the things the bad people use to victimise them... if they convince us that they're responsible for everything that comes upon us, then they're absolved." man, matt is NOT fucking around

I think these conversations (both Yeza and Marion's) are so important bc after an encounter that harrowing the like... reminder of what you're doing it for, both for the characters AND for the players as like an "it's ok" from the DM is reassuring and needed yknow?

anyway I love Marion so much, her character is just. so excellent, and I love how both her sex work and her agoraphobia are respectfully handled and it's never implied that she's less of a mother for them; and getting a reminder of hey this is a wise and caring and insightful woman who's seen a lot of stuff and hearing her words was just really nice! would like a calm episode where we just get to spend time with her soon pls

loved Liam explicitly saying that Caleb bites his tongue and tries to listen, look how far my boy has come

and Yeza!!! Yeza!!! I cannot have many coherent thoughts about that conversation but I loved how he went full on, this is the firmest I remember him being, saying, "you cannot shoulder the blame for this on your own"

ugh look I love Veth and Yeza's relationship, I love that there is this conflict in their story that doesn't have anything to do with how much or whether they love each other, and I absolutely loved the reminder that Yeza – for all that he is a gentle stay-at-home dad – did get himself mixed up in the assembly business and that Veth dove into the Dynasty to come looking for him. and yeah the image of them cuddling in the dome and talking about the uncertainty of the future and about guilt and blame and the potential end of the world, and still ending with "I love you" is gonna stick in my heart for a while

to zadash!!!

hey at least Jester remembered to send a message. it is entirely ridiculous and kinda adorable that the Gentleman is cleaning up the place for Marion.

okay I think that's all I got, I feel like this is even more rambly than usual. looking forward to some calm?? quiet?? no using up all our spell slots? next episode! also the parent trap

I'm going to sleep now. man this show.

[axelstrash]

this is going to be long...

i dont even know where to start. i was one of the few people who was still hopeful that they could turn this season around. i was trying to understand their thoughts and plans for so long. i still defended season 4 until basically last Friday. then i joined everyone who was extremely disappointed in it. i could see the point of everyone disliking this season before but still had hope that these last two episodes would make us all change our minds and would wrap up amazingly (since basically season 3 was literally perfection in my eyes). well i was kinda wrong.

since last friday i became so disappointed. the way they handled the ingrid situation was soooo bad i cant even handle it. the ingrid storyline could have been so good if it was well written. they could have make the girl squad be so happy to have her in the group oblivious to her racism but as soon as they found out that she was being racist side with imane even though they were fucking mad that imane did those other mistakes.

they made me hate characters we had fallen in love with in previous seasons (manon alexia and emma) Daphné was kinda having some (slow) character development with her ignorance but then everything came completely crashing down.

then the whole manon/daphné unfollowing ingrid on instagram last weekend but still laughing and hanging out with her in school (was it bad instagram management or what).

one of the things that disappointed me the most was how the girl squad didnt once defend the racism and everyone acted like it was nothing. even if u are mad at your black friend and even you dont even want a friendship with them (even if u dont have black friends) letting someone say racist things to them without reacting makes you just as bad as them. the fact that the girl squad didnt call ingrid out but instead even defended her when imane got mad and there's no one saying anything about it is such horrible writing.

the other thing that disgusts and disappoints me so much is the whole charles story. omfg i could cry with how mad i was when i heard manon saying she was back with him. i understand the choice the writers made to bring michel back because there is no reason for him to not be on the show (contrary to thomas who wasnt on skam anymore) but to write a storyline so disgusting make charles a rape apologist a manipulative fucker, a violent person who said he would end whoever sent the email, the most disgusting horrible person and then make manon go back to him. this is way too much. the whole sexual assault storyline is already pretty bad written in all the remakes where the noora feels the need to apologize for being assaulted and the william characters feelings are the focus and not nooras is already fucking awful but then go the extra step of making him side with his brother who sexually assaulted his girlfriend when she was drunk and unresponsive there's literally no words for that bullshit. i could literally throw up. i will never be able to understand what was going on the writers minds when they decided this was a good idea. (why couldn't they go with the same story as william who was working too much and had daddy issues so he wanted to be perfect for his dad that he forgot about noora if they had the idea of wanting the bring charles back)

also the constant mention of eliott and not once letting him explain himself. instead lucas did it for him and later imane with idriss is pretty fucked up but never once did we hear something from eliott even though he kept being brought up. why make this big deal about him and his story if they wouldnt give it the time and attention it needed since it was imanes season not his. to never give the one with a mental illness the voice is apart of the problem.

the clip today was a joke. imane apologizing again. saying that she never felt out of place with the girl squad when the whole season was her distancing herself because she didnt feel like she belonged. couldnt they include a 20 second line like 'i acted the way i did because i felt outta place in this group i felt like i wasnt welcomed anymore like you guys couldnt and wouldnt understand me' or something. something.

with all this said im pretty disappointed on how they handled this season. i had such high hopes. i cant believe this is the remake which gave us the most wonderful season 3.i cant believe the writers who wrote season 3 wrote this one. my brain can't comprehend that. i just wish the last episode is somewhat of a redemption but the hole is way too deep at this point.

this is all just my thoughts and opinions if you dont agree okay im happy to discuss about it. and also if anyone wants to let david niels or the others writers know we are disappointed do it with manners and respect. they are human beings and even though they fucked up a lot i dont believe it was with intention. i dont agree with anyone calling them islamophobic/racist and rape apologists like i have seen many people do. thats not okay. david made sure the actors were always in a good mental space while filming he cares about them a lot. he treats them like children he treats us with all the respect so do it to him too. they fucked up but they arent bad people. like lucas and imane said maybe they are just ignorant or naïv...

Roswell New Mexico - Live Rewatch - Ep 1 - Pilot

So I don’t really have much in the way of original content on my blog. So I decided it might be fun to post the live blog I’ve been doing on discord of the rewatch our server is doing for Roswell, New Mexico over the hiatus period. 

I’ve only posted my comments, so there might be a couple of bits that look out of place. These are my responses to other people’s comments. I’m up to episode 6, so I will post the backlog and then do one a week until the re-watch is complete.

Be warned, there is swearing. 

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

Sorry, cat decided it wanted a cuddle

I love the glass effect, it's so cool

You may not plan to see the small people again, Liz but we know it's gonna happen!!

Not gonna lie, I love poltics in my TV

You quote that verdict to him, Liz!!

That vent tells us so much about Liz in such a short period of time.

You're finally back says Max.Because he's been waiting for that to happen the whole time.

Excuse me Sheriff, with that good girl comment. Rude!

Arturo, playing along with Liz's mpreg story.

Fuck, I just realised - mpreg is canon!?!

Rosa!!

I want antenna headband

Cream on a milkshake is wrong.

So many people in this show have pretty eyes!!

Nooo.

Damn that's alot of lights to replace

I love that damn bullet hole in Liz's dress. It was the first indication they weren't gonna make everyone dumb as a bag of rocks and drag the storyline out FOR EVER.

Hoverboarding. Iz!!

Hey there Kyle!

Annnd here it comes, I'm in love.

That smug fucking grin. The song.

That look when he's trying to get the keys. That look would make you do just about anything.

That Michael monologue. It just gets better everytime I watch it.

Without a doubt, top 3 best character intros ever.

And we're only 15 mins in! I need to make less comments

I didn't think anyone was reading!! :wink:

"Untie some loose ends" - you go Iz

Oh Max you fucker. Telling Michael he wouldn't do anything for anyone else. Excuse fucking you.

Ok, blasting Max across the room is kinda hot. But then his guilty face! :sob:

And god, that little shoulder touch on Iz one the way out.

Another example of non-verbal storytelling. In one scene we get the fractured relationship between Max and Michael, we get that Iz and Michael are close and that both boys defer/protect Iz. So much with so little. It also sets up the physicality of the broken relationship between Max and Michael.

Others have commented on how Max is physically intimidating with people, and literally pushes Michael around, but to be fair, Michael is pretty much the same with Max (but never really with anyone else that we see on screen though we hear about it.

And then in a few lines, Iz gives us a lifetime of fears and concerns - dissection, prison, lying and hiding to loved ones - the rest of the season in seconds of dialogue

Ah, the ONLY thing that gives me Max feels is how dismissive both Iz and Michael are of Max's feelings about Liz. Especially annoying consider Michael should really fucking know better.

Yeah, because he's been pining for Alex just as long.

Unrequited love hurts just as much. Kiss or no kiss.

That's my take anyway.

Here it comes...

Typing may get bad. Cat is sitting on chest and I can't see keyboard.

Seriously, there is nothing overtly relationshippy or sexual, no pointed stares, but just how soft Michael is, even as he's making the real Manes man comment, you just know these two have a past, and that past was probably intimate.

The casual sex comment though, oh yeah they've fucked. That is such a fuck you comment to an ex.

And again with massive story in few words - Alex knocking his leg. "3/4 of one"

That run and tell Daddy line. The nastiest thing Michael says in the entire season, although we don't know that yet. And it strikes such a dissonant tone, even though we don't know why. I'm gonna put it down to things changing so much between shooting the pilot and the rest of the season.

Just my humble opinion but the shirt changing scene could've lasted longer. Just sayin'

Maths, lots and lots of maths

I love the glass SFX

Rosa!! "All our lives that kids been making eyes at you"

Oh Liz, such a good sister. Fixing up the memorial. And the braclets

Ah, sneaky Liz appears

Oh yeah can he keep a secret

Liz begging Max to tell her she isn't loosing her mind. Fuuuck.

Not cool Michael. Great control, but not cool.

Racist Hank, you douche bag

And Maria introduced as taking no shit from ANYONE.

Iz and her slideshow. I love that line.

Why is Iz so vehement that Michael would be so upset about telling Liz?

Max loosing it and Iz looking quite surprised. Forshadowing

yes, Iz no like about it. He is in love with her.

Ah Iz, Iz, Iz. "Too many secrets, things she can't ever know" you don't know the half of it.

Fall in love with someone else.  - If I could have, I would have. Fuck, Max, I feel you on that one.

Jesus, how do all these guys make dark flannel look so hot?

Dance it out. i don't dance in this town anymore, Kyle...

Hot take, I know everyone is mad for Trevino's cheekbones, but honestly, they aren't my thing. But his eyes, gods, his eyes. He has the best eyes on the show. God that make me sound like a freak.

"whatever" with that tiny, tiny almost invisible smirk. Yeah, you think you're all that

He manages that whole distraction use me, use me speech without coming off as a total wanker. And that is pretty amazing.

The station promo/ad on my cable channel has a bit for Roswell - tag line: "Beam me up hotties." Too right.

Scientist Liz!!

Needs answers now.

Fuck you Jesse Manes

I hate you already.

No Kyle, don't do it. But thank fuck he doesn't just start talking,

Yeah, nah Max. That's not how it works. It's not ok if people are nice to you but shitty to everyone else.

Why should Michael like the world? it's been pretty shitty to him!?!

Liz with the serial killer joke, just with the wrong person!!

The pods are sorta cool.

They could've been so chessy.

Now we know why the three of them are so close. And just about the only real bit of exposition on the show.

But will you Liz? Will you keep the promise?

Secret Bunker No 1

"This matters to you, so I'm here". :heart:

Do what Michael, what could you possibly mean?

"Just like you did 10 yrs ago".......

What are you max? Just a guy from Roswell

In Max's favour, when he says he stayed in Roswell, and didn't follow Liz because of Iz and Michael, he doesn't sound resentful, which is sort of what you'd expect here. I like that.And Max going to the reunion for Iz. And Liz tagging along even though she's expecting a bad reception.

"i don't save people all the time. I never save people" But you saved Liz, And why is that Max?

OT re Trevino's eyes. It was that gif set of him laying on his stomach  on his bed (?) with his doggo, looking up to the camera. That angle, OMG, his eyes....

And no verbal confirmation, just Liz realising exactly what Max said - that even though he's in a job where he'd be in contact with sick/dying people alot, he's never saved anyone before. Omph

Of course you remember the very first time you met, Max.

Little kid Max is sooo cute.

Ah you big sap, Max.

No kissing. An "Echo" of what he feels for Liz.

Nice choice of words there writers.

We see what you did there.

So far it's taken me 2 hrs to watch 50 mins

Fuck you again Jesse Manes

Swoon Kyle's eyes.

And we have Kyle's first exposure to the fact that the govt knows about aliens and did medical type stuff to them.  Does this hover in the back of his mind from now on? is this the reason for the quick reaction to his fathers actions at Caufield.?

No he's fucking not cooking meth. Seriously, Alex, what the fuck?

Sorry Alex, not cool, not cool AT all.

I want to see the outakes of Tyler saying phenyl-2-propanone

Because I'm a bitch like that

Yeah, that so serious up close and personal for straight people....

And there is Alex's nastiest line - You're wasting your life. Gods, that is such a shit thing to say to Michael.

And re outtakes because Tyler would laugh and do that thing where he covers his mouth as he trys to stop himself giggling. That's soooo cute.

But anyway, back to the show...

Oh, he wants to hold something, Michael but it's not your hand...

Macho cowboy swagger.

Did it get old for you.

No it did not get fucking old for him. At all.

Michael walking away with arm around girl. Noting for those who say they didn't realise Michael was bi after watching the pilot. How?

How could you miss it?

You go Maria - dying alone of syphillis to bitch

Maybe Liz does still dance in Roswell!! She just needs a good reason.

And that song begins.

"You can't hide from who you are". Alex's prothesis as he looks at himeself skating in the slide show. Fucking killing us.

And it only gets worse-

I don't thnk that's an unpopular opinon at all. That's totally where I see his headspace. But that does result in him saying some nasty shit to Michael. And it's because we know it's not true that it hurts so much.

Fair warning it may take me half an hour to get through the next 2 mins of show!!

Long shot - "Nostalgia's a bitch"

Fuck, the way Michael looks at Alex as he's leaning against the door. People have started wars to have someone look at them like that. That's Greek epic shit right there.

Then cut shot to Max and Iz looking at Liz.

Alex expecting Michael to be gone from Roswell.

"Is that what you want" as Michael takes a step closer. Not "wanted", but "want".

"What I want doesn't matter" as they both slowly sway towards each other. Bullshit, Alex. What you want is ALL that matters. Fuck everything else.

Michael's eyes flicking up to Alex's face....

And Michael launches himself at Alex like a dying man.

God, how do you even describe that kiss?? Everything about it is just.......

But it's more than just the fire. Its the tenderness of Michael gently craddling Alexs' head even though the kiss is passionate and desperate.

Battery break

And then, back to reality - Iz knows that Max has told Liz.

And then Jess Fucking Manes (I fututus et mori in ignie cunne) (don't look that up it's very bad swearing) talking about being monsters who despise compassion and love. Projecting much.

"Thrive on our tragedy". Die MF Die

Despise Love over a visual of Michael and Alex. Die some more you MF

But you haven't told Liz everything have you Max. There's still some stuff you're hiding.

"When the truth hunts you down"

Yeah, that truth is going to hunt you down and fuck you up Max

My house just wobbled.

No, there isn't a secret that is safe.

And people will be caught in the crossfire - have already.

"What's lost will be found, when the truth hunts you down."

Well doesn't that one line sum up a ton of shit that goes down in the rest of the season.

And fin

3 hrs

That was not what I planned.

[alienshea]

Reworked DOTW 15 part

Falling back to sleep after showering, Eren was rudely awoken by the sound of his phone ringing. Messages chimed, but annoying phone calls rang. Keeping his face against Levi's pillow, he blindly reached out, finding something that wasn't his phone. Confused, he picked the small object up and brought it to his face, but as the sun had barely risen, he couldn't see a thing, dropping it lightly to his pillow before he stupidly fumbled his lamp on and blinded himself. Closing his eyes, he counted to 5 before opening them. That fucker. Levi had bought him the little dolphin figure he'd liked the day before. The glass object was only about 4 centimetres or so, but the blues of the glass was like nothing he'd ever seen. Now the shark he'd chosen for Levi seemed stupid and lame. The alpha had bought him two beautiful gifts... while he didn't even know if Levi truly liked what he'd gifted him. Careful to place the dolphin back where it had been, he grabbed his phone, scowling at the missed call from an unknown number. That was all it took to ruin everything. He'd forgotten about Zeke. He'd dropped his guard completely and had forgotten. How.. how could he forget his own brother? Oh... fuck... Levi had stayed. He hadn't even thought about the danger Levi could be being placed in. He'd... he'd just wanted him to stay and he had. Why did Zeke have to call? Why did it take just one missed call to know everything was going to go to shit? He'd found a good alpha. He knew Levi was a good alpha. He was kind, and sweet, and felt so horrible over what had happened in the car. Why did he have to choose between his brother and the alpha who finally made him feel safe. The alpha who held him, and reassured him, even without knowing everything. Everything about Levi's touches we different from all the other alphas in the past. He never raised his hand to hurt him. He never kicked him or yelled at him. He didn't tell him he had to be good. He didn't tell him he was fat, or that he was eating the wrong thing. Working himself into a mess, he couldn't calm back down. He didn't want to... he didn't want to leave? God. Why? He'd wanted Zeke to come back so badly, so why was it that the thought of leaving all this hurt? Hanji and Moblit were both so kind. They'd taken him in, like it was just a natural thing to do. Like he wasn't a complete stranger. Like he wasn't broken and damaged. They both went out their way to make him feel welcome. To take him to his therapy appointments. To pay for his medical bills and to arrange the follow up appointments he needed for his ankle. They treated him so fucking good... and all their friends had been nice to him. He had Marco too... he didn't have to worry about Reiner or Bertholdt. He didn't have to about awkward situations, and hiding them from Zeke. He... he'd become such a bad omega... so selfish and jealous. Zeke was right. He kept making mistakes. * Forcing himself not to message Levi nonstop was harder than expected. He'd thanked Levi for staying with him, in response to his messages that "he'd gotten home" and that "he'd made it to work"... but tried not to message him back right away. Zeke had made it clear by not calling him back, that he wasn't impressed and needed to stay away from Levi. He hated it. He hated not talking to Levi. He knew the alpha would be thinking he'd done something wrong, when he hadn't. With that and with work being even worse than before, the omega was a wreck when Hanji and Moblit finally got home Sunday morning. The first thing he did when the door opened was rush into Hanji's hold "Eren..." "I missed you" "Aw, we missed you too sweetheart. Didn't we, Moblit?" "Yeah. It's good to see you. The house looks good" Eren sniffled, Hanji walking him backwards into the lounge room, before the pair of them fell onto the sofa in a tangled mess "God! It's good to be hooooome" "It is?" "Yeah! Moblit's family home is crazy" "Moblit would have to be used to it, to put up with you" Hanji cackled, tickling his sides "Excuse me. I'm only a little crazy" Eren was stuck doing a weird laughing cry, trying to push Hanji off "Ok! Ok... I take it back" Stopping the tickling, Hanji slumped against him, leaving him to rearrange them so Hanji head was in his lap "So, what happened while I was gone?" "Nothing much... mostly working. It's so quiet here without you" "Aw... we're home now. I can yell as much as you want and need me to" "I know. I missed you so much" "Well, we don't intend to go anywhere for a looooong time" "Good" "Now, why were you crying when came in? What happened?" "I just missed you" "Mhmm. That's why your eyes are all red and puffy" "I was crying because I was happy you were coming back?" "So you and Levi didn't have a fight" "What?" "A little birdie told me you two went on a date" "It... Hanji..." He couldn't even bring himself to say it. He didn't know how to say it all out loud, but it fucking hurt. He missed Levi "Sweetheart, what's wrong? Nothing bad happened, did it?" "N-no. It... it was perfect" "Then what's wrong?" "I just feel like something bad's going to happen" "Levi won't let anything bad happen" "Zeke... he'd get so mad" "Well, Levi and Erwin are coming for dinner tonight. So you better think about what you're going to say" "I've got work" "You couldn't get the night off?" He had a feeling that if he asked for the night off, they'd just fire him "I had Wednesday and Thursday off" "I guess we'll be having dinner without you. Now, I want to hear all about this date" "It... Levi was nice. The perfect gentleman" Hanji giggled "I can't picture it. He's usually all like "This place is fucking disgusting. Ugh. Is there somewhere around here I can wash my hands? No, we're not eating here. You don't know what they put into things. What are you taking stupid photos for?" or something" Eren shook his head "He wasn't like that all. We took photos and had lunch there" "You took photos? With Levi? Like... Levi's in the photo?" "Y-yeah?" "Aww. He's so into you" "I... miss talking to him" "Zeke or Levi" "B-both... but.... I just... I don't want Levi getting hurt" "He's a big bad alpha who can handle himself. Now... you said there were photos?" "In my room... I... I don't know how to get a copy of them" "A copy? You mean you want to print them out?" "Yeah... I don't have any photos. I never have. Even with Zeke" "Right. Go get your phone and we'll figure this out" "You just want to see them" "Of course I do! Did he stay the night? Oh my gosh, did you two do it?" "Ewww no! He only stayed because he had work at 4" "And?" "And what? We didn't do anything" "Not even kiss" "A little" "And where did he sleep?" "Next to me. It was nice" "Look at you! I really am happy for the both of you" Eren wished he could be happy for himself again, but he couldn't stop thinking of Zeke. If Zeke took him away, would Levi forget all about him? Would he find himself a new omega? "What are you two talking about?" Sitting on the sofa's arm, Moblit placed his hand on Hanji's shoulder "Eren and Levi went on a date" Moblit raised an eyebrow "A date?" "To the aquarium" "I didn't know Levi had it in him. Did he complain the whole time?" Eren shook his head "No" Hanji giggled at Moblit's clear shock "I'd say Levi has it pretty bad for our Eren. Eren was just about to go get his phone so we could see the photos" "Wait, you even got photos?" "I don't know why you're both so shocked... he's always nice to me" "We're not saying Levi isn't nice, it's just we've known him a long time and this is the first time we've seen him acting like this. He never usually likes things like dates, or public places. He's not that great at dealing with people" Ummm... Levi dealt with people everyday. He saved and help people. The alpha didn't love shopping, but they'd still gone out and done that. Maybe he was just putting up with all of it because he knew Eren was kind of useless on his own. He'd never have been able to go food shopping on his own, and Levi had even stayed when he'd nearly freaked when getting his hair cut. Alphas with scissors just wasn't ok "I'm just saying, he really cares about you. Now go get your phone" Retrieving this phone, he found Moblit had moved to the sofa, leaving a space for him between the two adults. Sitting down between them, Hanji grabbed for his phone "Hey, how am I supposed to see?" "It's not my fault" "You told me to sit over here" "And you're the one who listened. Besides, Eren wants to get a copy printed, so I need to do that first" Moblit lent around him "Don't you need to go to camera store for that?" "Nope. Most department stores have an online print option now. I'm just going to sort it out, then I'll share" "Wait? You're going to see all my photos?" "I promise not to look at the naughty ones" "I. What. No! There's nothing like that on there. I was wondering if you could do my birthday photos too" "Yep. No worries!" Hanji seemed to know what she was doing. With her phone out, she swapping between both devices with practiced ease "You can stop looking so worried. I'm waiting for your photo library to load, then I can select all the photos" "Umm. How long is this going to take?" "Probably a little while. You've got heaps of them" "Then do you guys want me to make you something to eat?" "I'm fine. I'm more excited about these photos" As long as Hanji stayed in the photo bit and didn't check his calls or texts, there shouldn't be a problem... Mid-whatever she was up to, Eren's phone started ringing, tilting the device towards him, the woman frowned "Do you know that number?" "No. I've never seen it before" "For some reason, it seems familiar" Soooo Hanji might know whoever was on the end... "Are you going to answer it?" "I don't like taking calls if I don't know the number" That didn't stop Hanji. Answering the call, she raised his phone to her ear. Whatever was going on, it didn't sound good. Hanji explaining to the caller who she was, before confirming something and ending the call with a frown "Who was it?" "The police. Were you working Tuesday morning?" "Yeah... I got home about 6am" "The police want you to come down the station to answer some questions" "What? Why?" "They didn't say" What was so special about Tuesday? They'd finished up, cleaned up then he'd gone home "Eren, did something happen?" Moblit's voice was soft, yet he was sure he heard a hint of accusation in it. It was probably just his anxieties, whatever it was, it pissed him off "No. Nothing" "If something did..." "Nothing happened! I don't know why they'd be calling me in" "Ok, just calm down" "How am I supposed to calm down? I haven't done anything and you're acting like I have!" Hanji placed her hand on his arm "No one is saying you have anything to do with whatever this is. They probably just want to eliminate you from whatever enquiry this is" "They wouldn't be calling me if they didn't think I had something to do with it" He wasn't supposed to be making trouble! Now he was in trouble with the police! What the fuck was he going to do? If Zeke found out... "Hey, trust me. It's all going to be ok" "I think I'm going to go up to my room" "You don't have to" Eren shook his head. Moblit already made it clear he thought he had something to do with whatever had happened, while Hanji was acting like there was a strong possibility. He hadn't done anything! He'd done his job! He'd danced. He'd cleaned. He'd grabbed his stuff out his locker and he'd headed home. He hadn't done anything! * Hanji looked frazzled as she opened the door to Levi and Erwin. Not at all like she'd just taken a week off work "Hey guys, come on in" She even sounded exhausted. Slipping in past her, Levi was highly conscious of the fact the last time he'd been here, he'd fallen asleep in Eren's arms "Everything alright?" Nodding, she lead them through to the kitchen, where Moblit was hovering behind the counter, also looking exhausted "Yeah. Just had a little drama with Eren today. He's locked himself in his room and refuses to come out" Erwin frowned, the tall alpha leaning against the kitchen counter "That doesn't sound like him" "Neither does him stealing money, but that's what happened. He said he didn't do it, and I'd like to believe him, but I don't know anything about the strip club scene" Levi couldn't help but feel annoyed that she wouldn't believe Eren. He didn't seem the type to steal, and why would he need to? "Do you want me to try talking to him?" "No. He's pretty upset. It's best we just leave him alone for now. His boss was at the police station when we went in. The arsehole started yelling at Eren and blaming him for the theft. By the time he was taken through for questioning, he was nearly having a panic attack. Then they wouldn't let anyone go in with him, got him so upset he finally did have that panic attack. They took his finger prints, though he swears he knows nothing about it" "All this for a little bit of pocket change?" Erwin sounded just as angry as he felt "Yep. Five hundred dollars. He swears he didn't take it" Wait... $500... "Levi? What is it?" "Nothing" "Levi, do you know something?" "Maybe..." Was this his fault? Did Eren take the money to pay him back sooner? To make him like him more? "Levi, if you know something, we need to know" Fuck. He might just be dropping Eren in the shit here, but if the kid did steal it, Hanji would have a better idea of what to do "Eren paid me back. The day we went to the aquarium. He said it was his money from dancing before he came here" "When we brought him home, he didn't have any money" Moblit placed down the pot of pasta he was about to strain "So you think he stole it?" "I don't think he did. But Moblit, where else did he get the money?" Hanji sighed heavily, rubbing at her face. Erwin piped up, being the voice of reason "He saw Zeke right? Is it possible that he gave him the money?" "I doooon't know. It doesn't seem like something he'd do" "Did the police say anything else?" "No, and Eren's boss fired him on the spot, promised he'd never work as a dancer again. All the usual bullshit. Like he's not worth the trouble. Omegas are worthless. Eren was so upset, he couldn't tell us what they asked him. I tried telling that he has anxiety, depression and PTS. They didn't even try to listen" Clearing his throat, Levi rejoined the conversation "I'll talk to him" "I don't know, Levi. I know he thinks the world of you. I don't think he even wants you to know. He was so mad... he started yelling before he locked himself away " Probably because no one listened to him or believed him... not that he'd made things better by mentioning the fact Eren had paid him the same amount of money that had been stolen "Look, go ahead and serve dinner. I'll go see what I can get out of him" "If you upset him, I'll kick your shin" "Moblit, contain your wife. Erwin, make sure she doesn't get into the tequila while I'm upstairs" "What if I want to get into the tequila?" "Then you're on your own. Alcohol isn't going to make any of this better" Knocking on Eren's door, he could hear the music playing inside. Knocking a little harder, the music paused "Go away!" "Eren, its Levi" "Go away!" That little shit "We need to talk" "Why? So you can blame me for something I didn't do!" "Just open the door. We can't yell at each other like this all night" "Fine" It took a few moments, but Eren opened the door for him. The omega looked a wreck. His eyes puffy as snot ran from his nose, while his pained scent had filled the brat's bedroom "I didn't fucking do it" "Hey, I never said you did" No. You just strongly implicated him to the people who are like family to him... "Hanji and Moblit did. My boss did. The police did... I didn't" "Eren, why don't we sit down" "I don't want to fucking sit. I want to scream" Eren's whole room was trashed, it looked like her hurled absolutely everything that could be, other than the small blue dolphin that sat on the bedside table "Fine. If you didn't do it, who did?" "I don't know!" "You have no idea who took five hundred dollars" "No I don't! Have many times do I have to tell you?!" He could see Eren thinking about the exact way he'd phrased it, a look if pure disgust morphing his features "You think I did it!" "You gave me $500" "From working! When I was working at the old club!" "Eren, you didn't have anything when you moved in" "Zeke gave it to me!" "Did you tell Hanji or Moblit?" "Tell them what? That my over controlling brother broke into their house, and told me to say here. Told me he'd come back if I'm good, and let my money I had hidden in my bedroom here! Or that I just got fired from the second job Zeke got me! That he called me and arranged everything?! What should I be fucking telling them when they don't even listen?" "Zeke gave it to you?" "It was mine. I had it hidden away in the apartment so Reiner and Bertholdt didn't fucking find it! You really think I would fucking steal to pay you back?!" "Eren..." "No! I can't believe this! I thought you'd listen, but you're just like them! I didn't take the money" Wrapping his arms around his waist, Eren sank down. He'd well and truly fucked this up "I just wanted to get your side of things" "I might be stupid, but even I know what you meant. If you didn't think I might be involved, you wouldn't have said how much it was. That money... that was two years of working my arse and saving every little bit I could. When I got my tips, I'd swap them over for full notes on the nights Bertholdt wasn't behind the bar. Then when I had notes, I'd save them and swap them to fifties. Five hundred might not be anything to you, but for me, that was every fucking dollar, and I wanted to pay you off because I didn't want that to be a thing! But you're just like all of them! You don't fucking care! I can't believe I really liked you!" "I..." "Get out!" Stepping closer to Eren, the omega fell back on his arse, letting out a howl of misery "Get out! I don't want to see you!" Grabbing what was closest, Eren balled up a hoodie and threw it in his direction "Get out! Get out! Get out!" "Eren, I didn't say you did anything. I just wanted to understand what happened and why you had to go to the police" "You alphas are all the fucking same! I thought you were different. I was stupid! Zeke was right! I'm a bad omega... he should have left me to die. I wanted to die..." Levi's blood ran cold at the thought of Eren being dead. He didn't want Eren dead and didn't want him being this upset. Out of all the ways he could have approached this, he'd gone and put his foot in it. Ignoring Eren not wanting him there, he sank down and wrapped his arms around him "Let me go!" "Eren" "I don't want to see you" "Eren" "You thought I'd done it. Why? I told you where the money came from. Why wouldn't you believe me?" "I had to ask" "No you didn't! You could have believed me, but you didn't!" Starting to drive heave from how worked up he was, Eren continued struggling to push him away "I'm sorry!" "I don't care! I don't care anymore... just go..." "Eren" The omegas voice dropped, whispering with finality "Go" Heading back downstairs, Levi dragged his feet. That could have gone so much better. Eren hated him now. Every little bit of trust they'd built up had been broken. He knew the omega wouldn't just steal money, so why hadn't he just kept his mouth shut "Levi?" "He thinks we all blame him and that we all think he's lying" Hanji's eyes filled with tears. Despite dinner being served, they were all standing around the kitchen counter still. Pulling her close, Moblit rubbed Hanji's back "I fucked up" "No, he was already upset. Did he tell you anything?" "Zeke's been here. In the house. He came and saw Eren, dropping off the money from his old job. It was his savings from two years working there. He used to convert his tips to bigger notes" "Zeke's been here?" "Yeah. He also lined Eren up with the new job" Hanji let out a groan "I'm so stupid!" Stepping out of Moblit's hold, she shook her head "I think I know what happened" The three male alphas looked at her in combined confusion "I'm glad someone fucking does" "Eren had been crying before we came home. He said it was because he'd missed us, but then when I was talking to him about your budding relationship, he said he was scared something bad was going to happen, and he was scared Zeke would do something to Levi if they took things any further. We know Eren's been talking to Zeke. If Zeke told him to stay away from you and he didn't, he could have done all this so Eren lost his job. He had to know the club owner to get Eren the job, how easy would it be to manipulate him into claiming a robbery and pinning it all on Eren" "So what? Because Eren wants to date Levi, Zeke's trying to get him in trouble?" "Probably. Possibly. If he knew Eren had paid Levi, now would be the best time. You said he's been in the house?" "Yeah. Eren said so" "So he knows the house alarm... then with Eren paying you, and being accused of stealing, the kid thinks everyone has turned against him. Now would be the perfect time for Zeke to take him back. He's had his heart broken by all of us" "I think you should go apologise to him" Eren was only going to cry more if Levi tried. He'd really fucked up, and was nearly on the verge of tears himself over it all. If only he hadn't specifically said "five hundred dollars" Hanji nodded, her face determined "We all should. And we should talk to him about Zeke. He can't be breaking in, and we can't let him continue to manipulate Eren like this" Moblit pinched the bridge of his nose "Then what do we do? Eren said Zeke is dangerous"

FIRST IMPRESSIONS w/@OhSoRahvenous

Rahv: *The music pounded through me as I polished off my second beer. The trainees had dragged me out here after learning I had never been “out on the town” before and I was twenty-five years old. No one knew about my past so I didn’t say a word as they said this was a must. Though, for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why. There was nothing but dry humping on the dance floor, people selling drugs, blood, and sex in the back rooms. Why was it so important that I come here again? Oh, right… I was making friends and since they were my first ever, I was humoring them. I laughed as a joke was shared amongst our group of three but as I looked across the bar, I saw a female walking in that caught my eye. Virgin Scribe but she was gorgeous as she made her way inside. It seemed like she was looking for someone so no luck there. Not that I would ever speak to her anyway. I didn’t approach people. It just didn’t happen after my past. I trusted no one. Hell, I barely trusted the trainees that supposedly had my back in case anything happened. It would take time. I tipped the bottle back, getting the last drop, before standing* I’ll get the next round. *They both cheered as I walked up to the bar and motioned to the bartender for another round. Yeah, I didn’t mind this so bad but I definitely could have done without it. Must be my upbringing. But I would let the guys have their fun tonight. At least the music was decent, I thought as the bass vibrated through me, causing me to tap my fingers on the bar top to the beat*

Treasure: Growing up in the mountains of Colorado, I had been to my share of bars but, nothing like ZeroSum. There were no nightclubs there. You had to travel to the city to find those and due to my circumstances, the city was one place I avoided. So, when Amari said she worked at a nightclub, let’s just say I was pretty weary. But, she had seemed so nice, and I really did need the feed, which was the main reason I had agreed to come. It had been a couple months since I had arrived and that, on top of the time it had taken me to travel here from Colorado, I was way past due for a feeding.

Lohre was the name Amari had given me. She said he would find me at the bar, and from the description she gave of him, I would be hard pressed to miss him. As I sat at the bar, watching all the people around me, I hoped he would show up quickly. I didn’t want to be here any longer than I had to. Then I saw him, walking up to the bar and a small breath of air escaped my lungs. Oh Scribe! He was way more attractive than the ones my mother used to purchase for me. My palms began to sweat as I waited for him to approach but, he walked to the other end of the bar. I slipped through the crowd until I found him standing, face to the bar. I slowly reached out and tapped him on the shoulder, and speaking quite loud in order to make sure he heard me over the music, “Lohre?!”

Rahv: *My head was lost in my own thoughts about the training program and the whole making my first ever friends, god how juvenile was /that/ thought?, when I felt a hand tap me on the shoulder. My skin crawled since the person came from behind me and I whipped around, body jerking as if I was about to jump out of my skin. My eyes must have been crazy at first but I managed to get everything under control before I did serious damage when I saw who it was. It was the female I noticed walking in. The one meeting someone. And that thought was only solidified when she called me another male’s name. I clenched my jaw to keep the memories at bay that threatened to break loose. I did NOT need an episode here of all places. Nope. Stay in my nightmares, mother fucker. You don’t get to breach into my time with the guys. The family I was hoping I was building. Once I was back under control, which took a lot of effort, I looked down at @Treasure_BDBRW and shook my head.* That’s not my name. Sorry, ma’am. I’m not your date. *I said, feeling oddly let down that I wasn’t. Had no idea where /that/ thought came from since I had never once been interested in anyone, male or female. So where in the hell did I start coming off like someone who was jealous? I was unfamiliar with the sensation so I pushed it aside as I took in her features. Hair that looked so soft I wanted to bury my hand and face in it. Eyes that threatened to drown me in them. Lips that begged for me to… And NOPE. Stopping that freight train before it goes anywhere. Great, you’re staring, Rahv. Good one. I nodded to the bartender as he put up a couple of drinks up on the bar before turning back to @Treasure_BDBRW* But I’m sure he’ll find you if he’s here.

Treasure: The male whipped around so fast and the look on his face was almost that of fear. I hadn’t meant to startle him. I guess I should have thought twice before approaching someone from behind. I was so caught off guard with his response that it took me a minute before I started to try to apologize, “I’m so… “ but he jumped in with some comment about not being my date. I shook my head, without thinking, “Oh, he’s not my date.” But, I stopped there. I didn’t want to have to get into who the male I was meeting was and exactly how he wasn’t my date. Not to mention this male had me completely off balance. It was everything about him. Not only was he amazing to look at, there was something about the sound of his voice, the way he held himself, the hidden tenderness to his tone and the way I felt somehow strangely connected to him... Add to all that the way his gaze raked over my features. I felt as if the temperature of the building just went up ten degrees.

Noticing the drinks he quickly grabbed for, I cleared my throat and extended my hand, not willing to let this male walk away just yet. “Hi. My name is Treasure.” Dearest Scribe, I didn’t know how to do this. I didn’t know why I was doing this. I was hoping I wasn’t looking like a desperate fool but, I was so drawn to this male. I knew if he walked away at this moment, I may never see him again and every piece of my being couldn’t handle that... Then there was the other part of me, the one that wished I could move my feet from where they were firmly planted in the ground and run far away from this male. I wasn’t allowed to feel this way. It was dangerous to feel this way. This must be the feeling my mahmen always warned me about. The feeling that could end up with me dead, or worse, captured and tortured. Shit! I could feel my heart slamming against my chest walls as I waited for him to release me somehow.

Rahv: *It must be the bass thumping through the room but this female’s heart sounded like it was going a mile a minute. I mean, I wasn’t a small guy by any definition but I wasn’t the biggest one out there either. So, I couldn’t help but wonder what about me made her so nervous. Then again, I no longer had all my scars after the transition. From the bites, the scratches, the… I pushed those thoughts away as I grabbed for the drinks the bartender set up on the bar but was interrupted when @Treasure_BDBRW held out her hand to me. I blinked a couple of times, taking a second to register her name. Holy fuck did it fit her. She really did look like a treasure, one that was supposed to be kept away from prying eyes and protected. This city was a dangerous place and here she was walking around… Alone. I just shook off the thoughts as I reached forward and took her hand gently into mine, giving it a gentle shake. I had to clench my jaw tightly shut as I felt what must have been electricity from the touch. What the actual hell was going on here? Walk away, Rahv… I said internally to myself as I got my body back under control as a strange wave went straight between my legs, making my jeans tighter and more uncomfortable. Walk away.*

*Did I? Hell no. I ignored that tiny voice in my head and just waved the other trainees over to get their own damn drinks that I just bought* Do you want anything? I’ll add it to my tab. *Wow, that sounded intelligent. Go ahead and make her think you’re getting her drunk. Yeah, I was definitely new to this whole scenario. I waited for the guys to come over and give me a knowing smirk before they walked back to the table with their drinks. My eyes rolled at their antics as I picked up the cold beer bottle and tipped it up to my lips before I realized, I hadn’t given @Treasure_BDBRW my name in return* I’m Rahvenous. *And I /just/ figured out how corny my name was. Thank you, druggie parents, for that name.*

Treasure: Some sort of shock rushed through me as our hands connected and my eyes shifted swiftly downward toward them. It took me a minute to remind myself to let go, and when I did, I slowly brought my hand to my side and returned my gaze to meet his. This was soooo not good! I could hear my mahmen’s words in my ears. ‘Males are for feeding and friendship /only/! Unfortunately for you, it is too dangerous for there to be anything else. In this world, if you are found out to be what you are, you could be killed or tortured. You must never let a male get too close. Promise this to me.’ I had promised, and I had every intention to keep that promise. If my mahmen could live a life of service, there was no reason I couldn’t live a life of solitude.

However now, looking at this male, I wanted everything my mahmen told me to be a lie. I wanted to not think about her looking down on me, watching this whole interaction. But, I knew she was. Imagining that, I took a small step back and settled myself on the stool behind me. Trying to erase the thoughts from my mind, I put my focus back on the male before me. “Huh? Oh... “ Nodding. “I’d love a Midouri Sour. Thank you.” I flashed a small smile in thanks.

As his friends came up and grabbed their drinks, I offered each a soft smile, wondering what the small nudges and winks were all about. Once they were gone, the male turned back to me and introduced himself. Rahvenous, a small giggle snort slipped out before my whole face turned a bright crimson flush. So on the nose with that name. In hopes he hadn’t heard that, I quickly tried to change the subject. “It’s nice to meet you.” As someone bumped into me while trying to catch the bartender’s attention, I scooted to the far end of my barstool and looked out to the crowd. “Is it always this crazy?”

Rahvenous: *I watched @Treasure_BDBRW out of the corner of my eye as she looked like she was trying to cover up a snort after I told her my name. I just gave a light shake of my head as I took another swig of my beer* Yeah, I know. Trust me. Wasn’t my choice at all. *A sigh escaped my lips as I heard the cat calls and whistles from the two guys I came here with and another roll of my eyes soon followed. My shoulders lifted in a casual shrug as I turned my back to the bar and looked out amongst the crowd* Usually, yes. This is the most popular place in town for these crowds. Though I didn’t picture someone of your stature coming out here. Normally it’s humans and vampires that want sex, drugs, or blood. Blood in the vampire case, obviously. *My gaze turned back to @Treasure_BDBRW to see a certain look on her face. One that told me, she didn’t know anything about this place* If I were you, I would stay out of the back room unless you’re looking for one of those three things.

*I couldn’t take my eyes off this female. There was just something… Alluring about here. It was as if she was calling to me and trying to draw me in. Which was dangerous territory since I didn’t let anyone close to me after what happened to me. Even the guys whooping and hollering at me from their booth only knew the basics. My name, my age, where I was from. That was it. I offered no details to anyone. I was sure Havers had told the Brotherhood about my issues since it would have been covered in the medical part but no one had approached me yet. And as much as I wanted to leave, knew I should leave this female alone, my body wouldn’t obey. I was glued to this seat as we were bumped aside by people trying to get to the bar.* So, you from Caldwell originally, Treasure? *I asked, trying to make small talk. Even if I was extremely bad at it*

Treasure: My blush deepened intensely as, much to my dismay, I realized he had in fact heard my little giggle. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean any offense. I just… “ I stopped there. There was no way I was explaining to him why I really giggled. What was it about this one male? I had never, ever felt like this before. 75 years and you would have expected I’d experienced every emotion possible. There had been many nights I had thought about what if… but, it had never happened so, I assumed I was immune or something, it wasn’t going to happen to me.  Apparently, I was wrong in that assumption.

I listened quietly as he described all the ‘services’ the club had to offer, cringing internally as he mentioned the blood trade. How harshly would he judge me if he knew that was what I was here for, I wondered. Why did what he think about me matter so much? All these feelings were so new and so raw. I didn’t know how to handle them. So, I did the only thing I could think of and averted my eyes from him by taking a sip of my drink that had just been delivered by the bartender.

After a few moments of trying to collect myself, I finally responded, “No.” I shook my head. “I’m not from here. Just moved here from Colorado about a month ago. How about you? Are you from around here?”

Rahv: *I just shook off the apology. It wasn’t necessary. If I could laugh at my name, so could other people. It was just a name if anything. It’s not like it described me or some bullshit like that. I tipped my beer back, finishing off the alcoholic beverage before I listened to @Treasure_BDBRW speak. So she wasn’t from around here. That shocked me. Normally people stayed away from Caldwell because of the lessers that had seemed to try to take over. Killing civilians where they saw fit. As I motioned for another beer, I thought about where I came from. The dregs of the city. Living in a shitty one bedroom apartment that had holes in the wall and no heat in the winter. A makeshift blanket to cover me up. Not the best way but it made me appreciate everything I had more, for sure.* Come here with family, then? *I heard myself asking before I could stop myself. No, Rahv… Not good to get attached. Not good to try to get to know this female. She wasn’t even here for me anyways. She was here for another male. Her date… Wait she said it wasn’t a date* Sorry, didn’t mean to pry. Just be careful here, okay? Not safe for females to be out alone. Lessers are really bad in this area.

Yeah, I’m from here. Born and raised. *If you could call it raising. I basically raised myself until I got here, to the Brotherhood training program. Hell, that program saved my life or else I would be right back in that shit hole with my parents. I was going to learn how to fight. I was going to make a difference. I was going to be something other than the used garbage I was. The kid only good for a good gang bang once in awhile when my parents needed their fix.* This place is always busy. Doesn’t matter the night. Mostly because Vampires don’t really have what you call normal jobs. At least that’s what I hear. So a lot of them come here for drinks or blood if they aren’t mated. Hell, some mated couples come for a quickie in the back room. *I winced as that came out of my mouth* Sorry. You didn’t need to hear that. Just spilling things my buddies over there have told me. They’ve been here plenty of times.

*And now I made a total ass of myself to quite possibly the most beautiful female I ever would lay eyes on. Not that I was trying to get with her. That was a bad idea all around. No, just making really bad conversation.*

Treasure: As he questioned me about my family, I could feel my shoulders slump slightly. The visions of what my mahmem and Alexandria had been through still fresh in my mind. Lessers. Yeah… I knew about Lessers. If it weren’t for them, my mahmen and Alexandria would still be here. Lessers were the ones that murdered them in the parking lot of the grocery store. It was obvious by the amount of Lesser blood on the ground that they tried to fight back, probably the only thing that saved them from being accosted but, in the end it didn’t matter. They both went off to The Fade, right there on the pavement of the parking lot.

I blinked a couple of times before I pushed the images away and shook my head. “I actually came here looking for family. I heard that some of my family might have relocated here so, I thought I would come here and see if I could find them.” I smiled shyly as Rahvenous commented about not prying. “It’s okay. I don’t mind the questions.” Really? did that just come out of my mouth. Questions lead to more questions, which lead to getting more involved and getting to know someone which wouldn’t be a bad thing ‘cause friends and all but, when I looked into Rahvenous’ eyes, friendship was not the first thing on my mind. Dearest Virgin Scribe! Why put me through this? Why now? Haven’t I always done everything I said I would? Haven’t I always kept my promises? Why now are you trying to make it so hard on me? Why now, when my mahmen isn’t here to help guide me through? I don’t have her strength behind me! Is this some soft of a test?

I shifted the conversation by nodding. “Trust me, I may look like a meek little female but, I’ve lived somewhat of a survivalist’s life. I know how to take care of myself when it comes to Lessers.” It was true. Living in the mountains of Colorado, my mahmen and Alexandria taught me a lot about survival, living off the land and most of all, how to protect myself. It was incredibly important to my mahmen that if something happen to her, I know how to keep myself protected from those that might want to seek me out.

Cocking my head to the side slightly, I was surprised at the notion that most vampires here didn’t have normal jobs. “Really? That’s interesting. Back in Colorado, the vampires I knew did have jobs. Granted, they weren’t nine to fivers but, we had our own little community there. We rarely had to depend on the human world, aside from the normal things…” like a grocery store, “like utilities and things like that…” A small smile crossed my features at Rahvenous’ slight embarrassment of the topic. “As far as all that other stuff, I knew about the blood trade but, that’s about it. I guess the other stuff went on in the bigger cities. Or maybe I just wasn’t aware of it.” That was entirely possible. It wasn’t something of interest to me so, it was highly possible it went on right under my nose and I never saw it.

Rahvenous: Well most of the Glymera live here and they come from old money from the Old Country so I hear. *My shoulders lifted in another shrug as my eyes never left @Treasure_BDBRW. I didn’t know what it was but there was just something about her. Regal almost. She commanded respect and holy hell did I. As I listened to her tell me about how she lived before here, I could only nod my head in awe. You didn’t see women such as her live such lives. They were to be sheltered and protected. They ordered doggen around and had kids. That was it in our society. So the fact that she knew how to survive no matter what instead of being one of these damned damsel in distress types around here made her hot as fuck. Yes, dangerous territory. Very dangerous, Rahvenous. Stop now before you get even more involved.*

*I felt the air shift a bit and when I looked over my shoulder, I saw a male across the club zero in on @Treasure_BDBRW and start making his way over. Fuck. As much as I knew this was a good thing, and probably a sign, I didn’t want to stop talking to her. But I had to in case this male had any sort of feelings towards her. As I finished up my beer, I motioned for another one* Looks like your not date is here. I don’t want to cause an awkward situation so I’ll leave you to it. *I was so awkward and unable to know what to do with these situations. How did you end conversations like this? Oh well, I had done it. I wasn’t as polite as I should have been but I had no idea what I was doing. Sue me*

Treasure: The fact that Rahvenous mentioned that most of the Glymera lived here was incredibly promising to me. If a lot of them lived in this area, chances are the Brotherhood were here, too. The Glymera wouldn’t establish themselves in such large numbers without ensuring their own protection. And if the Brotherhood were here, that would mean my chances of finding more like myself were pretty good… that’s if there were more like me. I still wasn’t sure. Right now, it was all just whispers on the wind.

Suddenly, Rahvenous’ attention shifted and the look in his eyes turned cool. I knitted my brows together and followed his gaze out into the crowd. What I saw was another male approaching, eyes set on me. I swallowed hard, as I had all but forgotten why I had originally come to the club tonight. I wasn’t ready for this conversation to end but, we had about t-minus twenty seconds, tops, before the other male would be upon us. Crap! My mind shuffled as fast as it could trying to pay attention to Rahvenous’ words. But… but… Before I knew what I was doing, I reached out and gently touched his hand. An electric charge shot through me that I wasn’t ready for and it took me a moment to shake it off. I didn’t have time for whatever that was. So, when Rahvenous ended up turning back to me, I leaned in to him and spoke quickly. “Can I see you again?”

Rahvenous: -My eyebrow quirked as this female grabbed my hand. An electric current ran through me as her skin warmed mine on contact. This was a bad sign. Bad, BAD sign. I couldn't be with any female, let alone this one. This one was perfection and I couldn't tarnish her. That would be unforgivable. However, I found it impossible to move my hand away from her soft grip. Walk away, Rahv. I told myself as I stared into those eyes, feeling myself drowning in them yet not wanting to come up for oxygen. Just walk away… Before I could stop myself, I grabbed a napkin and asked the bartender for a pen. I scribbled my number down to the cell phone the brotherhood provided for me- Here. That's how you can reach me, if you want. -With that, I grabbed my beer and turned towards the table my friends sat around, mind still on the perfect, blonde female behind me as a male walked up to her-

Treasure: At first, everything seemed to be move in slow motion, as it seemed to take forever to get a response from Rahvenous. In the meantime, I was completely captivated by his bright blue stare. I could get lost in those eyes. Shit! Treasure, look away! You can’t do this! You shouldn’t have stopped him. You should’ve just let him walk away. Something inside wouldn’t let that happen, though. Something inside had willed my arm to reach out to him. Either way, it was too late. What’s done was done. As I took a quick look over his shoulder, the approaching male seemed to suddenly be moving in double-time and that’s when everything started to blur together. Before I knew it, Rhavenous had passed me a napkin with a number scribbled on it and then he was gone. I didn’t even get a chance to say a quick goodbye. I could feel the disappointment settle my shoulders as I watched him, back to, on his way to the booth his friends were at. I had forgotten about the other male for the moment, until he tapped me on the shoulder. “Treasure?” he questioned.

Taking a breath, I tore my eyes away from Rahvenous’ back, stuffed the napkin into my jacket and looked upon the male. “Lohre?”

He nodded.

I offered my hand to him. “Yes. Hi. I’m Treasure.”

We talked over a few details before he walked me toward the back rooms. As I slipped off the barstool, I shot a quick glance at the booth Rahvenous and his friends were at. Luckily, he wasn’t looking. For some reason, I didn’t want him to see me disappear into the back rooms with this male, just in case he thought it was for any reason other than a blood exchange. Even then, I wasn’t sure I wanted him to know that about me. Why did I care so much about what he thought about me?

Looking up, Lohre and I had arrived at a door to a private room. “Right this way.” He said as he held the door open.

I took another deep breath and stepped inside.

Who should I vote for in the WA state election?

Full disclosure, this is directly inspired by this article, by someone from my high school as part of a youth newspaper he was working on. Considering said newspaper hasn’t updated since, oh, 2017, I think it’s fine to step on a few toes.

According to the ABC there are 19 parties vying for votes in the 2021 Western Australia State Election, which is coming up on Saturday. Some of them are good, some of them are very very not. Let’s go through each!

Animal Justice Party

The Animal Justice Party is a single-platform party masquerading as a multi-platform party, and while they have bland but reasonable positions on common issues everything, and I mean everything, on their page circles back to animals. Mental Health? Animal therapy and volunteering are good for that! Foreign Policy? We only care about trophies and wildlife trade! Domestic Violence? Abusers kick puppies, not just spouses! You get the idea. They mean well, but I don’t think they’re even close to a top pick, especially considering some of their odder platforms (banning processed meat sales to minors like they’re cigarettes, sure ok).

Vote for them if you’re the epitome of the obnoxious vegan.

 Australian Christians

I mean, obviously I’m not religious, but I’m pretty sure these folks don’t speak for all Christians. They’re first on the list of whackjobs, anti-abortion and same-sex marriage, pro “sexual morality” (read: puritanism) and have out-of-context bible quotes on their statement of intents. Oh, sorry, statement of beliefs. Clicking on this webpage made my skin crawl- protip, if a person or party claims to support “family values” or “Christian ideals” 99 times out of 100 they’re just using it to justify bigotry.

Vote for them if you’d feel right at home in Cromwellian England.

 Daylight Savings Party

This one’s website was broken for me, so I couldn’t really get a hold of anything beyond the name and what was on their facebook page, which is pretty much just what their mission statement is- Western Australia but we have daylight savings time. Despite being ridiculously sunny all the time. But….but why though….

Vote for them if you enjoy changing your clocks twice a year, like a weirdo.

 The Great Australian Party

There are two really obvious jokes here screaming at me to be made. The GAP wants to make Australia great again, and despite the name it doesn’t involve jeans. These guys think taxes are bad but it would be good if they were instead handled by corporations, which is the most laughably stupid idea that itd be enough to bottom-vote them just on that- fortunately, their stance on firearms (we’ll get to it later) and immigration (withdrawing from UN treaties, seriously?) make it pretty clear they’re just a bunch of cunts. Their policy pages complain about political correctness and want to make fucking with a flag a crime like it is in the US, so the comparisons to a certain US party keep going.

Vote for them if you’re the proud owner of a red hat that your children will burn out of shame.

 Health Australia Party

The fact that these people have an entire page dedicated to going “no, we aren’t anti-vax, we just have a lot of concerns” answers any questions you could possibly have. They also advocate for “natural medicine” to be placed on equal footing with, you know, medicine, which is obviously not a great idea.

Also, that they spell it “anti-vacc” and that their policy list is in fucking Calibri bugs me to no end.

Vote for them if you’re on a lemon detox.

 Legalise Cannabis Western Australia

Take a guess. Take a wild fucking guess what single issue these guys are about. I don’t even have anything against this idea, their policies aren’t awful or anything, but it’s a heck of a hill to spend so much of your time on.

Vote for them if you’re high off your tits, I guess.

 Liberal Democrats

What is this, libertarians? I’ll be frank, most of their policies are rooted in economics stuff I don’t really understand, but they’re against COVID lockdowns. You know, despite how effective they’re shown to be around here since we don’t fuck them up (mostly).

These guys seem to be one of the bigger of the small parties but their website is super unhelpful so ???

Vote for them if… I dunno?

 Liberal Party

The first of the two major parties. They lost power in the last state election, and I couldn’t be more thankful- they’d been doing nothing but cock up for years at that point, and the premier was a fucking joke. Considering that their leader has apparently already conceded defeat, I suspect they aren’t looking to repeat the process.

The Liberals seem to be the default for a lot of people, thanks to their incalculable media bias and being one of the big two. I suppose if you’re reading this, you aren’t voting for them anyway.

Vote for them if your mum voted for them and you’re proud of that for some reason.

 Liberals for Climate

If you voted in the last election, you might remember a party called the Flux network, which was a party where their policy was just online voting for everything. This is, uh them again? But they seem more concerned about climate than last time.

Vote for them if you haven’t watched this video.

 No Mandatory Vaccination Party

…no. just no.

Antivaccination is an opinion that makes my skin crawl. The fucker that effectively started the movement, Andrew Wakefield, effectively did so for the money, and as such is indirectly responsible for thousands of deaths. The people who believe this shit know nothing of chemistry or medicine but hear a few buzzwords and do a google or two and think they’re the greatest geniuses of our time. They think they’re soooo fucking smart. Confident incorrectness can be funny at times, but not when such a huge issue is at stake.

Vote for them if you want me to call you out on twitter dot com.

 Pauline Hanson’s One Nation

Oh christ she’s still trying this shit? For reference, in the last election these xenophobic cunts were rightfully punted out of our state, despite massive campaigning, proving that we aren’t the bogan capital of the country quite as much. Their policy pages make me want to vomit, but who the fuck voting for One Nation reads the fucking policy page?

Pauline Hanson was a fish and chip shop owner who made a political party to get her xenophobic bullshit out on the national stage, and was arrested for election fraud, yet still is allowed to run a party for some reason. She’s switched the target of her ire from China to the Middle East to reflect modern bigotry better, but it’s the same old shit. The only good thing ever to come about her was the Pauline Pantsdown song, and she obviously wasn’t involved in that.

Vote for them if you’re interested in joining the Proud Boys.

 Shooters Fishers and Farmers

Oh and the hits just keep coming. Funnily enough I don’t have an issue with their fishery policy, but that’s not the main one, obviously. Australia has harsh gun control laws on account of a mass shooting back in 1997, and we’ve stayed that way for 23 years with, shockingly, no further mass shootings (that I’m aware of). You can disguise your policy by saying its for the sport all you want, but I’ve got no interest in bringing guns back to WA.

Vote for them if you think the NRA having massive political sway in the USA is a good thing.

 Socialist Alliance

Full disclosure, I consider myself a socialist, so I’m probably a little biased here. But yeah, these look like good policies. They want to remove the USA military presence in Australia which I am personally very for, they support royal commission into the big banks which should have been done a decade ago, and they want to lower the voting age to 16 which considering that the youth are generally more politically minded these days seems fair enough to me. I’m for it.

Vote for them if you would have voted for the Greens, and don’t know which to put higher.

 Sustainable Australia

Despite the name, the policy of this party is more concerned about population than climate, an issue I’m not sure is especially pronounced in this neck of the woods. I’d put them fairly middle of the road, seeing as they have some policies I’m for (no new coal mines or fracking) and some I’m very against (increased police funding, lowered immigration).

Vote for them if you too don’t know the common usage of the word Sustainable in modern times.

 The Greens

Why everything is alphabetical until this and the next one are beyond me. Regardless, I suspect you already know if you’re voting Greens, but bluntly: They’re basically the only ones with a real, functional plan about Climate Change. And considering that’s the biggest problem facing humanity at large right now (yes, including COVID), that’s a pretty solid claim.

Vote for them if THERE IS NO PLANET BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 The Nationals

The nationals end up in coalition with the Liberals basically all the fucking time so if you’d vote for the Libs you’ll vote for the Nats. They’re basically the liberals, but they pay lip service to caring about poor rural areas while continuing to suck big buisness’s cock like a kid with an icy-pole.

Vote for them if you’re a genuine country bumpkin.

 WA Labor

I’ll be frank, I don’t think there’s a single way Labor doesn’t win this election. Mark McGowan has developed a minor cult of personality, and they’ve handled the old COVID situation remarkably well. I don’t agree with everything they’ve done in the past 4 years, but their track record is certainly better than the Liberals. Still, they’re not going to be the top of my preference sheet.

Vote for them if you don’t know what small parties to preference first.

 WAxit party

I’ve admittedly entertained the idea of a Western Australian Secession, and provided it is handled well am not entirely against it. It does make me feel vaguely Texan, though, and that’s not a position I enjoy being in. This party wants to massively invest in defense so WA can protect itself from an invasion- one that will never, ever come, and I really don’t expect to eat those words. We don’t matter enough to target.

Vote for them if you think Brexit 2 sounds like a good idea.

 Western Australia Party

Look at this point I’m fucking sick of all these parties. They have Family Values on their policy list so I’m just taking that as a red enough flag not to vote for them.

Vote for them if you actually read their shit and were a fan of it.

 And that’s…everyone. Wait no not everyone hang on.

Independents

I must confess, I basically always forget to read about the independents prior to an election. This is going to be different in every district, so do your research- or just do what I do and stick them all smack bang in the middle between the parties I like and the parties I don’t like.

 Ok now that’s everyone. This took a long time and a lot out of me, so I hope you appreciate this shit. Hopefully you are now prepared for what may come on Saturday the 13th, and won’t be too disappointed when your minor party of choice doesn’t win the seat because everyone in your area votes Liberal for some fucking reason.

[canaryatlaw]

alright, I’m tired so let’s write. Today was overall pretty good, some stupid insecurity worrying on my part, but overall good. I woke up to my alarm at 10:55, got ready and caught the bus, took the bus to the train to the DV courthouse. I sat and worked on my legal drafting assignment for probably about 10 minutes or so before getting summoned to take over a case from the morning shift that hadn’t made it to court before they broke for lunch. they tend to give me the more complicated cases because I know what I’m doing and I’ve handled a lot of crazy cases, especially when there are kids involved because they know that’s my thing. So I was picked to take over the case, even though there were like 5 other volunteers waiting for assignments. Most of the paperwork was filled out, and it was a super long affidavit stretching back years and years of just awful abuse. I mean, I’ve seen a hell of a lot at this job, but there are still some fuckers that manage to make me indignant, especially when they’re threatening children- often their own children. I won’t get into details, but basically the husband (they’re separated but not official divorced) would regularly threaten to kill all five of their kids, and referred to their one son as his “gay ass son” and that he would “punch the girl out of him” and the kid is like, six. So yeah, that got me kinda pissed. There was soooo much abuse documented though that I had no doubt the order would get granted, so having that assurance is always good. We just keep hitting little speed bumps that would cause a bit of a delay, so we wound up waiting for a while and filed our paperwork around 2 or so. She had with her her 8 month old daughter, who was just the cutest little thing. They don’t want kids in the courtroom, so they had me go in and hand in the paperwork while she waited outside with the baby, and then when the case was called I got her and took over watching the baby. She was very well-behaved, didn’t cry or anything, so that was good. It was kind of annoying that I couldn’t hear what was going on in court just because I like knowing that, but soon enough she came back out with a bit of a confusing answer- they hadn’t actually processed the case yet, but sent her back with a note saying she needed to refile it under another case number- basically this whole big procedural mess about consolidating cases in parentage, divorce, and DV court. Apparently there were a few parentage cases going on between the different kids and a divorce was filed at one point, so basically we were under the impression we were supposed to file it under the earliest case, but then they decided they wanted one of the 2017 case numbers, so we had to go talk to the clerk’s office and fix that. I wasn’t mad really, I was more so just thoroughly annoyed because we had already spent so much time waiting. I’ve been mad at the results of court before and that is an entirely different feeling, lol. So after a little while we went back up to court and did the same thing again, when I came out the baby was sleeping, but after a little while she woke up and was good at first, but then she started crying and I was trying to get her out of her car seat so I could hold her, but the front part of it was pulled down so far I was having issues pulling her out, but thankfully at that point mom came back out and took care of it. The order was granted of course, not that I had any doubt it would be. It’s nice knowing that you have a slam dunk case every so often, it’s definitely not an every case thing but occasionally you’ll get one that you know is gonna get granted, and that’s pretty satisfying. So we came back down and did some quick debriefing, then I headed out. Took the train to the bus, which was super crowded because it was rush hour. I had taken the same bus home over the summer, but I had gotten on the bus further south than I was now so the bus wouldn’t be crowded yet and I could have my seat in the back and then watch it all crowd like crazy as it went north, but now I was getting on it further north and well, it was quite crowded. But I made it home a little before six, and decided I was going to eat some of the veggies I had in my fridge before they go bad. I had bought some kale with the intention of making kale chips, something I literally have not done since 2013 when I was in my kale obsessed phase (I go through phases where I’ll be really into one food and eat it constantly and then one day just stop and move on) when I was eating like, a head of kale a day, lol. So did that, and made a salad kit thing I had in the fridge, so lettuce and kale (plus some other stuff of course) and sad down to watch the flash. Another meh episode in my book, largely thanks to its focus on Ralph, who I am sooooooo bored of. With the whole wanting to kill DeVoe thing, but it being to protect the team, like was that supposed to be character development?? If so, it was pretty crappy development. The rest of the episode didn’t really do much for me, the ending fight scenes were cool but that was about it. Moving on though, I did love the Black Lightning season finale, and I’m sad their season is over now, because 13 episodes definitely isn’t enough. I’m glad Tobias wasn’t taken down and that we’ll see him again, because there’s definitely more story there. The scene with the whole family going to fight and defend themselves though, that was lit (pun intended, obviously). one of my tweets was “lol at them being like ‘WE ARE NOT PREPARED FOR BLACK LIGHTNING, PLEASE LET US LEAVE” and the official show account retweeted it so it has a hundred something likes now and like sixty retweets, lol. I thought it was clever. I love Anissa, she’s my girl, I’m totally with her on the whole we need to use our powers and skills to help and save people, but I also really liked Jennifer in this episode as she was figuring out how to use her powers and really just kicking so much ass, it was wonderful. I keep feeling bad for Lynn though, because we know this isn't what she wanted for Jefferson, much less for her two daughters, but they don’t really have a choice at this point. But yeah, I liked the episode a lot, my one complaint is that the season was too short to fully develop the plot line, and I think a few more episodes could’ve let them flesh it out a lot more and make the ASA more of a proper villain (though I will never be able to look at that acronym and not think it stands for “assistant state’s attorney”). The Pierce family just kicks so much ass, and I can’t wait to see what they do with a *hopefully* full season next year. When that finished I watched Rise since that had just aired. After tonight I can watch it live since BL is over. Decent episode, Auli’i’s voice on Momma Who Bore Me is just perfect, it seriously gave me chills and like, it’s such a good pick because the song was originally sung by Lea Michele, who also headlined Glee, which is arguably a major influencing force on the show. The teacher (I don’t even know his fucking name) tends to grate on me because he reminds me so much of Schuester, who I really did not like lol. What they did do well in this episode is contrast how important theatre is to kids and the major influence it has on their lives versus the lack of importance the adults in their life place on it, saying it’s “just a play” when to the kids it’s so much more than that. Like, looking back at the shows I was in in high school, I know they weren’t good, we weren't putting up flawless productions by a long shot, but being able to have that artistic expression, not to mention making up pretty much my entire friend group, really meant the world to me and I really don’t know if I would’ve survived high school without them, so that hit pretty close to home for me. When I finished that I decided to watch The Resident from the other night. Also a pretty good episode, I liked the whole professor seeing “ghosts” storyline, it was well done and I loved Mina’s interactions with her and the effect it had on the professor. The Lily plot was all very sad of course, and I know they’re probably just gonna amp it up from here, so there will be plenty more where that came from. When it was over I watched Jimmy Kimmel for a little before starting to get ready for bed and here I am. It’s past 1 and I’m pretty tired, so I’m gonna call it a night here. PT in the morning then my normal Wednesday classes, should be good. But yeah, that’s it. Goodnight darlings. Hope you had a lovely evening.

“shaadi na ho gayi mahabharat ho gaya.”

bloody hell, good someone recognizes. this shit’s been going on for like.................. years.

wow anika, utaaavli much? seedha elvis pose! 

waise good to see she’s anxious to get laid as well. 

LMAO EVERYONE’S REACTIONS:

omki as usual, is the bestest. i love him so much. 

lol yeah sure anika. hella poor coverup job. 

ugh these two fuckers. cut out the fucking cute and GIVE ME THARAK.

ok how many things today? ring ceremony, mehendi... matlab, 3 mahino se is bloody shaadi ko kheenche jaa rahe ho and now everything’s going to happen in one fucking day? fuck you ppl. 

OMFG ZAAAAAAAAAKIRR KHAN. I LOVEEEEEEEEEE HIMMMMMMMMM. HE’S ONE OF THE FUCKING BEST STAND UP COMEDIANS INDIA HAS. 

i’ve seen him live as well (his new haq se single tour), and he was absolute fire. he did the entire two hours without even a pause for water! 

some of my favt bits by him (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) it’s a little heavy on indori + delhi hindi slang, but if you’re fluent, you’ll love it. 

haaaaye, mere sakht launde ke kya din aa gaye, ke is chutiya show mein usse cameo karna pad raha hai. laanat ho tumpe star plus. laanat. 

pls, shivaay would never be friends with zakir. ever. zakir’s whole schtick is based on his middle class-ness and self deprecation about the chutiyaapa of life when middle class and average and not model-esque looking. now anika and zakir being friends, i can see. they really should have had him be HER friend. 

ok this shit is hella embarrassing for ZAKIR, so imma fwd. 

anika has fucking loooooooost it. 

invisible gauri is in charge of sangeet. (get well soon shrenu! i miss your face already, my little button!)

ohhhhhhhh boy, pinky. 

her complaints be fully legit though. 

wow, even om is trying to shush shivaay. 

dadi has fully forgiven pinky. even after suspecting her to do khulaasa of the oh so dangerous raaz and what not. idgi. 

anika is freaking out. like why though? they’ve gone through this wedding shit a million times. like... just get it over with, sis. 

the real crisis: “main pehnoongi kya??????????” 

hubs is here to calm her down. 

“AAPKA BREATHING GAYA TEL LENE. DO DIN MEIN SHAADI HAI, PEHENE KE LIYE KAPDE NAHI HAI, BREATHING THODI NA PEHNOONGI!?!?!?”

lolllllllll

khudi ke choice ko beautiful keh raha hai. usse bhi toh dikha. she’s the one who has to wear the damn thing her whole life. 

ouffffffff what is this stupid immature billu and bandariya fight???? 

ok that was a little uncalled for, shivaay. 

but i mean.... ok. i woulda done the same. chick was getting OUTTA CONTROL.

aaaaaaand..... every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so....

“breathe shivaay. JUST BREAAAAAAATHE!” lmaooooo

time for some seski romancinggggggg. 

uh huh honey. get itttttttttt. 

sealed with a kiss! 

that ring is too big and so un-anika-like though. 

whut. where the fuck did she get a ring from tho???? 

and how did she conjure that shit up like a fucking magician? 

billu looks like he might cry. i’m loving the whole reversal of the proposal trope!

yo man my girl got some maaaaaaaaaaaad moves, and some hella alluring “let’s sex” eyes. billu can’t even handle it. he’s a weepy, gooey mess. 

ouff billu why would you ask for one more kiss ON THE HAND? you and your damn hand fetish. 

ok my damn heart is bursting from feelz. *weeping* my babies. my beaaaaauuuutiful babies. so happy and peaceful (in the moment. let’s see how long it lasts.)

ocd perfectionist billu is being a pain in the ass for the vendors. ek toh last se bhi last minute order, upar se nakhre hazaar. in the words of zakir, hatt behenchod... 

lol shivaaaay has a phobia of the words “thank you” now. he hears it and instant pavlovian response; thinks he’s fucked up and needs to start grovelling. 

lmao “(w)ow likhne nahi hote shivaay, wow ko mehsoooos kiya jaata hai!”

uh, you’re hindus. “vows” have been prewritten for you for thousands of years. you really don’t need to khapaaofy your sar over it? awaiiii ke chonchle during last minute wedding. 

HE’S WRITTEN HIS VOWS ALREADY. WHAT A NERD. 

ew what is this excited to share in front of whole family waali feeling tho? who are these ppl who like to exhibit their most private feelings like this? mera bas chale toh there’d be no one at my wedding other than the groom and myself. i don’t need ppl witnessing this nonsense. 

“are you staring at my lips?”

lmaoooooooooo him correcting her from offscreen. 

what the fuck even is this rudra scene???? like.... what even is this fastforwarding of their plot???? just yest they were in the guest house almost making out??? 

LMAO ANIKA ADALAT MEIN OATH LE RAHI HO KYA???

ok the first vow itself is setting her up for failure. girl you know you’re gonna call him baaghad billa before the end of the day even.

dude, just steal his vows. 

EEEEEEEEEEEEE SAHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL 

lolllll i knewwww it. she’s making sahil steal shivaay’s vows. 

WHAT FUCKING CONNECTION RUDRA

GOD BHAVYA WHY THE FUCK IS HE IN THE HOUSE RUINING YOUR BIG DAY 

there’s not even dosti between you two. he’s a whiny little pissbaby who’s not even worth befriending. coz he doesn’t get how men and women can be friends.

yup. he’s manhandling her. great. 

AND SLUT SHAMING HER. OMFG RUDRAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU’RE THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING WORST

LMAO HE KNEW SHE’D TRY TO STEAL THE VOWS 

omfg the vows are so damn extra, all tied up in ribbon and shit wtf

ok i know this kinda comedy is laaaaaaame, but I FUCKING LOVE IT. also, it was nice to see shivaay in shark singh oberoi mode after a long long time. 

ohhhhhhhhh boy, shivaay gonna fuck her over. 

LMAO HIS LETTER TO HER: 

“wow anika. sorry, nakalchi bandariya. i cannot believe tumne apne chote bhai ko chori karne ke liye bheja, you cheater. apne vows khud likho, and remember it’s VOWS. with a V.” 

sahil sach mein bohut ekta kapoor waale serials dekhne laga hai. 

“aapki help ki chakkar mein meriiii integrityyyyyy pe question mark lag gaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 

lmaooooo his dangal waali impression. 

“behen ki shaadi hai, bhai ko aur bhi bohut kaam hote hai, CHORI KE ALAAWA!!!!” 

lmaooooooooo omg i love sahil so much. petition to have him replace rudra as the youngest oBro, coz honestly i want to strangle rudra with my bare hands rn. 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn omki, you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind, OH OMKI!!!!! OH OMKI!!!!!!!!!!!! 

omki be all angsty at wife telling him to gtfo. good. 

god i’m so sad we won’t get angsty rikara romance during shaadi ki rasmein. i was soooo looking fwd to it. 

rudra fuck you to fuckkkkkkkkk. 

yes, for fucks sake make your utara hua thopdas better coz SO HELP ME GOD I WON’T LET YOU FUCKERS AND YOUR INSENSITIVITY RUIN THE BIG DAY OF THE ONE OBRO WHO ISN’T COMPLETELY ABOMINABLE RIGHT NOW. 

this weird angst is soooooooo killing my buzz. could you assholes just gtfo???? i really don’t care about your issues that you’ve brought upon yourself.

holy shit shivKara look so damn hot in black. i wanna spread them on toast and just nommmmmmmm. 

can’t even look at rudra with how much i hate him today. 

pinky looks nice. unhappy af, but nice. 

.... why are shakti and tej so awkwardly seated? 

ok, anika’s outfit... isn’t BAD... but isn’t GREAT either. but my girl so pretty, she looks fire anyway. 

i’m really missing more of a younger female presence in this episode, like gauri and bhavya and sumo.

(lol prinku who???? noone gives a shit. gauri has fully replaced prinku as the baby sister of choice. “sabse choti!!!!!!!!” shivaay yelled yesterday. like literally no one gives one flying fuck about stupid prinku who only added nothing but misery to their lives, as opposed to gauri who adds magic and happiness and sunshine and glitter.)

heart eyes motherfucker. “wow” is right. 

i have the same question as shivaay: tote ki yaadaasht achchi hoti hai???? 

she’s gonna fly by the seat of her lehenga and fuck you upppppp billu. 

waise, why are the vows being read on the mehendi day, instead of the shaadi???? 

is baar mehendi mein kaunsa corrosive liquid hoga? 

aaaaand pinky’s going awff. 

shivaay’s wielding phone of tadi. and is fucking up whoever’s on the other end. 

“sab kuch pefect chahiye toh khud karna chahiyeee” bada dialogue maar raha tha. why didn’t you go out and get the mehendi yourself then????

bike pe kaunnnnn hai? is it that new dude? 

lmao mehendi ka wait being made so overdramatic. sit your ass down and wait, loser.

is new dude bringing the mehendi????? 

THIS FUCKER JUST RODE THE BIKE RIGHT INTO THEIR LIVING ROOM. LIKE.... HE HAS TO BE AN OBEROI FOR SURE. SUCH EXTRA CAN ONLY BE IN THEIR GENES. 

what the fuck were security even doing when someone RODE A BIKE INTO THE HOUSE?????? 

digging his leather jacket/skinny tie combo though. 

whoever he is, he cute af. can we replace rudra with HIM? 

“you’re the most beautiful, kind, wonderfully weird girl i know... tumhare saath bitaaya hua har lamha is like an adventure, and i just wanna be with you forever.” 

well damn. those ARE some perfect vows.

Soooo Tumblr tagged your new post as "Content for Adults Only" and I can't see it 😢😢 srsly tumblr is pissing me off rn

Anon said:I don't understand how your most recent post about Denki is blocked by safety mode????? Like it's just your art of his birthday! I love the art of it tho, it's fantastic! Keep up the amazing work.

Anon said:*whispers* the thing you just posted contains sensetive media apperantly

Yeah it’s most probably Mineta isn’t it

(jk it was probs my inclination to swear my way through life’s fault, I asked for a review so it should be visible in a bit but for now you can see it here !!)

Anon said:!!! I didn't know when Kaminari's birthday was but his is the same as mine and I'm even more attached to him now !!! Thanks for bringing that info to my attention and also your doodles were amazing I love them and I hope you have a nice day!!

Yay for you and yay for him too!!!!!!!! I hope you’ll have a great birthday tomorrow, anon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:I can't remember if you've already answered this question but in light of Kami's birthday - you once did a comic showing what everyone from the Bakusquad would get him for his birthday, so I wanted to know what do you think Bakugou would get all of his friends for their birthdays?

Bakugou has the hardest time coming up with birthday presents, presents are just Not A Thing He Does, he tries but it’s just ???? I mean think back to how he tried to cheer Kirishima up, that boy is so damn awkward - that said, given how all his friends gave him something he felt the need to show them he could reciprocate, so this is what he came up with: 

Sero’s actual tastes in material possessions are a total mystery for everyone, they make absolutely no sense, but what Bakugou KNOWS is that the fucker likes to eat his greens, so that’s what he did for him - he cooked the healthiest and tastiest meal he could manage to make, spent a whole damn lot of time researching it too, and Sero was honestly so touched (he loved it)

Jirou got a offer to go with her to a concert she couldn’t find anyone to go with - she hadn’t outright asked anyone, but it was clear she wanted to go but not alone - the band was too much for all of her friends, so she was sorta letting the idea of going go. Which is when Bakugou offhandedly mentioned that he’d heard there was the one gig from that one band and he was thinking of going since he liked that band and whatever she wanted to come or something? Bakugou had just spent the last day and a half listening to the band’s discography for the sake of making it believable and Jirou saw right through him (she didn’t mention it) (but man Bakugou could be seriously nice couldn’t he)

Mina’s present was to actually agree to go to her party. That was it. Mina’s parties are the opposite of Bakugou’s ideal place to spend a whole night at, they’re loud, and there’s drinking, and dancing, and the whole school is invited and it’s packed, so when she asked him to come she never thought he’d actually agree to go and stay the whole night, but boy did he. He also let her pick his outfit (Mina recognized the effort for the present it was. She was delighted)

Kaminari got a shopping trip - it went like this: Bakugou mentioned he was going to the mall, which always ends up with Kaminari tagging along just to go window shopping. So he stopped in front of the windows, pointed at stuff, made noises about the deals, and Bakugou went “wait here” and then went in and bought whatever Kaminari had been excited about. It happened four times before Kaminari caught on, and then Bakugou literally had to threaten him to make him stop holding back “I’m deciding I wanna do this so I’m doing this” (he still held back, but by the end of it Kaminari had actually whined the sentence “Bakugou please” pointing at yet another jacket or shirt of necklace way more than once) (he was so damn happy he didn’t even think about how he had absolutely no space for everything he’d just bought to fit in his room)

Kirishima was the hardest one (pun intended). Kirishima was actually so difficult Bakugou spent months thinking about what to get him and came up empty handed anyway. He was so damn complicated that Bakugou sucked up his pride and straight out asked him what he wanted for his birthday. “I don’t want to fuck this up”, he said, and Kirishima smiled so hard and so wide and so bright, it felt like enough of a present for him just hearing that. He told him he wanted to spend the day with him, so they did that - studied, sparred, ate, hung with the others. Bakugou didn’t think it was enough of a present since honestly it felt like any other day, but Kirishima was happy, so he guessed it was fine (he found and bought a super rare super expensive Crimson Riot figure to gift him anyway) (Kirishima cried)

Anon said:You are so awesome!!!

sob thank you SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;A;

Anon said:It's t[odobak]u week! It's honestly a ship I never thought about, but ever since I saw fanart about them I've been thinking about their dynamic as a couple. How would that even work with their personalities? I know you don't really ship Katsuki with anyone else but Kiri, but let's say for some reason Bakugou and Todoroki got together. How would you describe their complicated relationship/dynamic? I've been thinking about it ever since I saw that fanart Q_Q

I talked about my feelings for these two’s relationship here!! But in all honesty I just can’t see them as romantics (if I could I’d probably ship it hah) so I can’t say how it’d work for them in a relationship of that kind... mostly because all I can think of as an answer is “it wouldn’t work” haha rip

Anon said:I love when you draw Bakugou being a big old softy

Fun fact: I take the fact that Mitsuki is unapologetically soft to Masaru as a good enough proof that in a romantic relationship Bakugou would be the softest to his partner - he’s already soft enough for Kirishima, can you imagine how much more he’d be after being openly in love with him for years? (I can) (it’s beautiful)

Anon said:More adult!AU please!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhhh sure, but it wasn’t really an AU tho! It’s just me playing around with their designs a bit, I’ve been drawing them aged up now and again for a while now (tho I admit mostly what stays constant in the design is only the hairstyles, everything else changes based on how I’m feeling it atm) anyway yeah, more will come in the future! Can’t promise the designs will stay totally unchanged, tho haha

Anon said:We only have to last one more day until the next chapter (probably) kills us all with the feels. Thank you to you and your art for getting me through this terrible week of waiting.

;A; you’re welcome, I’m trying to keep myself sane with my own doodles too so helping you along is a beautiful most welcome side-effect

Anon said:Could i have a ref of your adult kiribaku scars? if not i understand! have a great day!

No probs, just, I can’t draw right now cause of hand-problems so you’ll have to make do with me telling you where they are? Also that’s just how I went for it in that drawing, it’s nothing set in stone, really, I keep on adding and moving them around every time I draw them

The only scars Bakugou has there are on his palms - cover the whole of it and reach a bit on the inside of his wrist too, they’re burn scars and come from overusing his quirk one too many times. Kirishima’s got more - aside from the canon eye one he’s got one on the left side of his mouth, one on each forearm in the same spots he’s been hurt in the latest chapter, and one covering most part of his upper back (this one he got protecting civilians with his own body too often and breaking one time too many)

Anon said:I don't know if you take request or not but if you do, could you draw adult bakugou with baby kirishima and vice versa, please? 😙😊

I already have tho!! x x x

Anon said: Holy crap, scarred up hottie Kirishima with the black roots saved my life

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! glad you liked him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *O*

Anon said:denki at the end of your last post is me xD

*whispers* honestly same

Anon said:Okay but think about how fucking pissed Baku would be if Todoroki tripped and fell and broke his ankle walking up the the battle arena and they didn't even get to fight because Todoroki can't even stand.

Listen, listen, if anything like this happened Bakugou would take Todoroki off his list of worthy rivals asap why was he ever even interested in this guy why did he even waste his time like this he’s so done

Anon said:I just got my wisdom teeth removed and can't pronounce "f" , and all I can think ab is Bakugo, in the same case, being pissed as hell because he can't say "fuck" anymore

That’s the moment the squad learns that Bakugou uses the word fuck out of convenience and not because it’s the only one he knows, really (did all those swear words even exist) (how does he even know so many)

Anon said:Fran I just found out why you've stopped posting Haikyuu as much and?? I feel so bad?? Because you're absolutely right, the fandom might be pretty healthy compared to others but it a certain idea of what should be and what shouldn't be. Like the minute you get into the fandom you're bombarded with the "canon" ships (which aren't even canon smh) and then there's other ships which are just automatically designated as "brotp" and if you don't follow the norm then you get hate. (1/2)

And it just makes me feel terrible because you obviously love(d?) Haikyuu a lot, and drawing for it, but then the fandom basically forced you to leave. And that just makes me really really sad. I used to be sad that you didn't draw for Haikyuu much anymore (because despite fandom I do love the series very much) but now I'm just. Really glad that you found BNHA and are having fun drawing for it. Ahaha this is kinda pointless but I really respect you and so?? Just keep doing you

Thank you so much oh my god orz it’s... true, posting for hq hasn’t been half as fun as it used to be, lately, but I do still enjoy it! Between everything the fact that the fandom is sort of asleep atm does make me lose even the last motivation to draw more, so! I’m pretty confident as soon as the fandom wakes back up I’ll start posting more for it again! After all I love the show and all the characters a lot still~

Anon said:*chanting* Draw that hair angst! Draw that hair angst!

I’m trying !!! (tomorrow might just be the right day)

Anon said:i just recently started watching bnha and i'm IN LOVE!!!! i'm also glad i can appreciate your art more bc now i actually know who the characters are 😂

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m SO GLAD you’re liking it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you SO MUCH for sticking around even while you didn’t know the show!!!!

Joke’s on me anon, I’m not even being paid for this (lol) (since you like the kids you should really give the show a try, tho *nudge nudge*)

Leaked 7x06

Because HBO can’t seem to get a break lately, and fortunately enough for me, episode 6 got leaked. Apparently it was ‘accidentally’ aired from HBO SPAIN. And though I can’t speak for the legitimacy of that, but if it is true then I know somewhere that some poor fucker is getting soooo done for it. Glad I’m not them.

Anyway, I need to vent my thoughts. It’s no surprise that the episode was absolutely amazing. The best episode of the series so far, I feel, which is funny because not two episodes ago I thought 7x04 would have been my favourite. But this just blew me away. 

The battle wasn’t like the Loot Train or the Battle of the Bastards, no two minute tracking shots and war blazing all around. This was far more personal, it wasn’t about winning, it was about surviving. The closeness of all the shots really made you feel the claustrophobia of a hundred thousand wights swarming you. There were epic moments, no doubt. Each time Beric set his sword aflame my foot nearly went through my screen, especially when he and Thoros did it simultaneously to fight a FUCKING WIGHT BEAR.  Major Revenant flashbacks, yo. 

Also, we learnt that the wights function on some sort of hive mind basis. When Jon DEMOLISHES a white walker (like seriously, Jon’s streak of fucking them up seems endless) a bunch of the wights instantly fall. This obviously suggests that killing the Night King will kill all the rest of them. To be honest, I can’t think of another way they can actually destroy them. Especially now, when we see that the dragons aren’t invincible against them. 

Speaking of, Daenerys my friends. I really can’t abide any more complaints about her character being selfish after this episode. Her most trusted adviser literally begs her to not go beyond the Wall, but she does anyway because it’s right (Gendry manages to get back to Eastwatch and send a raven. Tell you what, he’s got a great cardiovascular system that Gendry has.) She saves all the others, whilst Jon holds the wights off. Some of his best fighting imo. But the look on Dany’s face as she watchers Viserion die, bloody hell. It was unreal. 

Jon tells them to go when sees the Night King getting another javelin ready. Yes, it’s more a javelin than a chuffing spear, the boy thinks he’s in the Olympics or something. But as he’s running back to Drogon, wights swarm Jon and he falls beneath the ice. You can see Daenerys having to pull herself away from looking at him, the struggle between Jon/Viserion/and actually fleeing. 

She gets away, and Jon gets back up. He already knows he’s a dead man. If the wights didn’t kill him, hypothermia would. But through a crowd Benjen comes swingin’. I cannot wait to the see the gifsets. He saves Jon, sacrificing himself.

Now, to go to my main focus, which is pure Jonerys. Daenerys stands on the Wall, overlooking the land beyond and waiting. “It’s time to go,” Jorah tells her, but she asks for another moment. The thought of Viserion has not left her mind, you can see, and she stares at the edge of a forest hoping that Jon will return. Just as she turns, we hear the horn. One blast for ranger’s returning. 

They get him on a boat, and more importantly Daenerys finally sees his scars. It was no figure of speech. When he wakes up, she’s sitting over him. Lets not pretend she wasn’t sat there the whole time. He says he’s sorry, she tells him not to be. He says he’ll bend the knee, she asks if he’s sure, does she deserve it? This is not the Queen, this is Dany, telling him that she’ll never have no children other than her dragons. That she has lost a son. He even calls her Dany, which is nice to see. They hold their hands, and you can see it passing through their eyes that there’s only one way this ends. But Daenerys pulls away and tells him to rest. I think, it’s sorta the last breath you take before you leap. She knows what’s happening between them, but just not yet. Plus, its a good banger (pardon the pun) for the season to go out on, so dnd withhold it. 

That’s it. Can’t tell you what’s happening in Winterfell with Sansa and Arya because even I, who defends the show even as a book reader, cannot stand or fathom what they’re trying to achieve with them two. It’s just so... pointless? it’s very clear that they’re going to end up killing Littlefinger by the end of the season, so it just seems like they’re trying to put in filler scenes that get them there.

But anyway, there we go. If HBO is somehow reading this, please have mercy. And concering spoilers, I’ll go out on this quote by my favourite “Where Whores Go” facebook page. “The leaked episode: Its effect on the Sunday airing of 7.4 was likely negligible. If you were going to illegally stream the show on Sunday night, you probably went ahead and watched the leaked episode early. Pretty much a zero-sum situation. The illegal streamers watched a pirated version just like they’d already planned to do. Did I watch it? No. I had the self-control to wait until Sunday. As for spoilers, some were thrown my way. But they didn't bother me. Why? Because I'm a fucking adult.”

🌹I love you so much mr.J🌹

Imagine being the Joker's sidekick.

"BOSS! I've got ya food, what else do you need!" you came rushes in the room with german chocolate cake and coffee with a touch of jack daniel that the Joker requested from you.

The joker rolled his eyes (secretly enjoying all this adoration you was giving him) "give it here." he waved his hand for you to come in his office, you walked in the room laying the tray down on his desk smiling at him "do ya need anything else boss!" you beamed.

The joker made a pondering face "how bout cleaning the penthouse and fix the bullet holes I put in the wall."

You gasped "but you liked the holes in the wall, you said it approved the place!"

The Joker sighed "I know but Harley keeps complaining about it soooo that's why I need you to fix it, oh and also send Frosty this documents too."

"Aye Aye boss!" you scurried out the room feeling your energy deplete and your smile turn into a scowl ...ever since Harley came into bosses life...I feel so left out...he used to love my stupid jokes and 'annoying' company...now it's Harley this and Harley that...what about me?!...I've been with him before that witch came, ugh! I hate her!

You stomped outta the room, you walked down the hallway and tripped on the carpet causing the papers to spread out on the floor as you rushed to pick them up , you read that mista J wanted Frost to attack a upcoming gang called 'The Titan'  to show them who the real king is...maybe this is a chance   for you to finally show mista J how useful you could be! then he will start giving you attention, just like the good ole days!

So instead of  giving Frost the papers, you sneak back towards your room , getting ready to ambush these  fuckers, you brought your silencer gun, Iphone, time bombs (cause why not) and hide your knife on your thigh and decided to wear a black shirt, black legging and black creepers...ya know ya gurl gotta stay incognito!

You walked to the front door to be stopped by frost.

"Where are you going (Y/n)?" Frost eyebrows raised in suspicion.

"Well Frosty if ya wanna know sooo bad I'm going to get some damn tampons, cause Satan decided today was a great day to STAB MY GODDAMN VAGINA!" you screamed to make the lie believable.

Frost shook his head, taking a step to the side letting you leave, as you left the penthouse you skipped down the hallway going toward the elevator, making your way outside.Time to teach these Titan brats a lil lesson they'll never forget.

~Timeskip brought to you by The Joker in a broccoli  onesie! (lowkey that would be so cute! )

Currently you was in a vent at the Titans warehouse, planting bombs in all areas of this shit hole, rat infested place you call a hideout and you heard a familiar voice, so you crawl slowly towards the vent opening to see who this person was.

"How come you guys can't get nothing right! all ya had to do was aim right at his skull and BANG! I could've been the Queen of Gotham without that angry fucker!"

Oh shit...is that Harley?! how could Harley betray mista J...he has been nothing but nice to her, well sometimes but he treats her better then me! that fucking hoe!  you went in your pocket and grabbed your phone recording Harley's long rant towards mista J and you quickly sent it to Frost, to let him know what was going on but as you put your phone up the vent caved in, exposing you! and oh boy was you fucked, fighting wasn't your thing but escaping and shooting you 're pretty good at.

"What the fuck?! what is she doing here!" Harley yelled in a high pitch voice while pointing an accusing finger at you.

You groaned, quickly getting up while glaring at Harley  "How could you betray mista J?! when he has been nothing but good to you!"

All Harley's henchmen where looking at her waiting to give the order.

Harley laughing mockingly at you "Him? good to me?! your fucking crazy, everytime I did something he'd hit me! I was his personal punching bag!"

You glared even harder , wanting to punch this bitch in the face."don't act like the vitcim now Harls , you knew how and who the Joker was before you came this so called 'personal punching bag' all you had to do was fucking leave, not fucking betray him."

Harley stepped towards you swiftly kicking you in the chest, knocking you down and causing blood to fill your mouth leaving you no choice but to spit it . "It's not betrayal hon...it's payback! and besides where criminals that's what we do!"

As Harley was talking you use this chance to kick her leg, causing her to yelp and fall you use this chance to use the smoke bomb mista J gave you for your eighteenth birthday and swiftly past by the goons and Harley.

"GET THAT BITCH!" Harley yelled while choking on the gas.

You speed off the ledge, feeling the force of the drop rush up from your legs to your spine, you stumbled toward the left down the hallway trying rush out the warehouse before the bombs went off  but I guess you was to late cause the bomb finally exploded and the force off the eruption knock you off your feet causing you to black out....

Damn...I didn't even get to tell him I loved him...

Joker's POV

As soon as Frost showed me the video message (y/n) sent me of Harley's Betrayal, first I was  a little hurt by what that bitch did to me...but what should I expect from a greedy bitch! then I  was mad at (y/n) for not doing what I order ...now she may be in danger, and also I feel played for a fool for letting my toy think she could take my kingdom...were going to have to teach lil Harls a lesson! I'm so fucking pissed wait till I get my hands on these Titan fuckers and that whore!

I hit my fist at the roof of my Lambo in frustration, speeding through red lights, hitting some people along the way...oh well, they shouldn't have been in my way.

~Timeskip brought to you by Frosty posing french girl style saying "Bon appetit baby~" (LOL)

Finally we got to the location and I saw half the warehouse on fire, I felt and immediate rush to look for (Y/n) fearing she may have got hurt.

"FROST! GATHER THE MEN AND KILL ANYONE YOU SEE ALIVE, AND IF YOU GUYS SEE (Y/N) AND HARLEY BRING THEM BACK WITH US!" I yelled while rushing in the building only thinking about (y/n), angry slowly being replaced with worry.

I dashed in on the first floor, checking all the rooms as fast as I could, I growled and glared towards the left of the area I missed and ran cautiously toward the damaged hallway, and I spotted (y/n) and she looked fucked up.

"(Y/N)! doll are you alright! wakeup!" I ran toward her, picking her unconscious form up bridal style, and she seems to be mumbling something but I couldn't pick up what she said. I grabbed my cellphone with the other hand calling Frost while quickly leaving the are before it collapsed .

"GET YA ASS BACK TO MY LAMBO (Y/N) IS HURT AND CALL THE DOCTOR, SEND HIM TO ARE NEAREST HIDEOUT!"

As I was running out the windows in the warehouse was combusting from the heat and I knew we was running out of time, this building was going to be destroyed any minutes and I was kinda of proud  of (y/n) for all this destruction she caused I never knew she had it in her I mostly only gave her simply task, I guess I underestimated her.

Seconds after escaping the building, it caved in and I knew it was time to go, cause I'm sure someone idiot called GCPD by now and I'm not looking to end up in Belle Reve again, so I dashed to the Lambo, sitting (y/n) on my lap, while Frost speed through lanes taking the most fastest route to one of my many hideouts.

"Are the Titans destroyed?" I asked Frost.

"Yes sir, we got rid of all that was in the area." Frost replied.

"Did you capture that whore?" I replied with venom lace in my voice.

"No, sorry boss we was too late Ivy saved Harley before we could capture her." frost replied nervously.

I growled, using my free hand to cock my gun and point it at Frost's temple "I'll let this slip up slide, but the next time I won't be so nice Frosty...oh and one more thing if I ever here any of ya say that bitch name outta ya mouth, don't be surprised when I put a bullet through ya skull, are.we.clear."  I replied feeling my anger rise.

Frost gulped "yes sir."

I grunted in response "Now hurry up, so we can see what's wrong with my faithful sidekick!" I laughed at the name I gave her.

~Timeskip brought to you by Deadpool yelling CHIMICHANGAS!

We finally got to my least favorite hideout...well it use to be my favorite cause it reminded me of all the wild nights me and that bitch spent here and now that memory is a fucking pain in the ass.Currently I'm waiting for the doctor to tell me what's going on but this fucker is taking his sweet time, making me more worried and impatient as soon as I was about to storm in there the docter came out the room.

 "So she is doing okay luckily nothing was fractured, just a few minor bruises and cuts, she should be fine after a day or so, but she does have a slight concussion so she may be out of it, If you wanna see her ...she is awake now just a little groggy."

I nodded and rushed to the room to find my lil sidekick, looking at me through half lids.

"B-boss is that you?" she asked.

"Yes doll, yours truly." I went and took a sit by her.

She shook her head and tears gather in her eyes, only confusing me more.

"Why are you crying (y/n)?" I said while awkwardly patting her shoulder.

"What do you mean yours truly...your not mine..you Harley's I-I y-you-"

I gritted my teeth on annoyance interrupting her confusing rant "me and Harley are done...I don't wanna hear about her ever again, you got that?"

(Y/N) blinked looking confused for a second but quickly looked relieved "good cause you deserve better...someone who will dote on ya when ya getting to reckless, someone who understands all ya flaws and love ya even more...someone who loves ya company no matter what."

I chuckled "and who may that be, cause if ya know give me her cell number, we may hit it off hahahaha!"

She glanced at me sadly "That person is me boss, I have loved you for 7 long years...but when you told me you was incapable of love, I gave up and decided I would be content with just being in your company...till you actually fell in love with that blonde psychiatrist...it felt like a kick in the chest when I saw you so happy with her but also it made me feel at peace to see your pretty blue eyes gleam with happiness, so I gave up again but when you started spending less time with me and more with that bitch, I felt hurt...cause I-I love you so much it hurts...I was suffering so much...so I thought if I take Frost mission...maybe just maybe you would give me some of ya time and attention...I didn't know I would found out Harley was betraying you...I'm s-sorry I ruined the only thing you could possibly love, this was all my fault!" (y/n) started sobbing even harder.

I was shocked and not many things surprised me...how could I have been so blind...I had the baddest bitch right in front of me and I decided to go for a whore who wanted  to betray me...no one has ever said they wanted to see me happy...in most eyes I'm a fucking monster, so why does she feel this way?

"Why do you love me?" I asked trying to stop my voice from cracking.

She grabbed my hand "cause your the most charming, funniest and smartest person I have ever met the moment I laid my eyes on you...you became my new and only drug...I addicted to you...I love you...mista J

I honestly didn't know what to do with this feeling in my chest...but I suddenly felt an urge to kiss (Y/n)...as if this would answer (Y/n)'s questions...I knew my words wouldn't have came out right...so maybe she would understand me.

After  we broke away for air, I smirked at (y/n)'s panting form "I hope this isn't the concussion that's making you say this stuff."

(Y/n) chuckled and hugged me "no it's not, I love you J always and forever."

I hugged (Y/n) back "I like ya too my sexy lil sidekick, I mean who else is going to make me a tasty chocolate cake."

You giggle at his joke, enjoying he could always find the humor in any situation...for sure he was your true love.

THE END.

PEACE and DESTRUCTION my lil lemonheads.
