#and I honestly don’t think anyone has made anything for this ship before

[soullessjack]

🔥 jack

oh my godddd I have so many unpopular opinions where do I even start….HOLY DISCLAIMER BATMAN!

anyways so in no particular order or tier system:

✯ i don’t think jack would wear anything feminine im sorry spn fandom. for lolz he has same-outfit-pattern-everyday autism and for serious it’s like. Really weird how fandoms tend to HC/portray non-binary amabs (and men/transmascs in general) almost exclusively as GNC or fem-presenting…like DGMW that is a real and valid form of self expression but it’s not the Only type of non-binary expression that exists. and honestly…**dare I say that most fandom/queer spaces just need to realize that queer masculinity exists and it doesn’t always have to be a matter of breaking gender norms??

** genuinely do whatever u want idc I can’t stop you i don’t want to stop you yada yada. paint his nails and put him in a skirt all u want but Please recognize patterns yall 😭

✯ more headcanon complaints (see disclaimer above ⇧) but I promise to switch it up soon. anyways every time somebody on this lil website says something along the lines of “Jack can’t handle/doesn’t like [insert violence, scary or adult-oriented thing], he prefers [soft or blatantly childlike things]” I shrivel inward like a dead spider. It’s annoying, it’s completely inaccurate to his canon personality and interests, it’s annoying ˣ2, and whether ppl wanna admit it or not—it stems from infantilization. not necessarily ableism, as infantilization is not exclusive to disabled people, but still just about the same thing.

honestly all I see of majority jack headcanons are ones that set him back to just being a child or otherwise being treated like one. for example, the one about him being able to shapeshift is pretty cool...until it just becomes about him deciding to age regress, yknow, to an age set he canonically chose not to go through, showed no desire to be in, and is more offended than anything to be considered as such. all of his interests have to be some shit like bluey or animal crossing, and he drinks apple juice from a sippy cup instead of beer. BARF.

I’ve lessened on my keyboard warring over babyjack in the past year but I have not lessened in being a hater. and I’ve said this before, but the baby-jack au already breached headcanon containment a long time ago when it’s not only so widespread that ppl take it for canon and it makes having any intelligent conversation about him nearly fucking Impossible, but it also lead to harassment and accusations of being a fucking predator, to anyone who dared find a whole grown man attractive. any potential jack ship, like jackharper? automatic grooming case to them. it’s like the fandom is just so dead set on this idea that jack really truly is a child in every aspect you can think of, and for what? if it’s just a headcanon, something you know is not part of the actual show, then don’t go Travis the Chimp levels of apeshit when you see him being treated like he is canonically 💀

unpopular opinion numero 3 which is slightly connected to 2:

✯ baby-jack and a handful of the domestic au’s are BORING (see disclaimer again ⇧), not just on a surface level to my suiting, but also because I feel like it just ..misses the point of the show?

the ragtag untraditional found family is now as nuclear and traditional as the Atomic Age. Dean and Cas are the most heteronormative “who wears the pants in the relationship” gay couple ever, Sam is demoted to the uncle that gets written out of his own family, Jack is just there to make his gay dads look cute and emphasize that they’re a gay family (while still being very heteronormative), and at least 5 of them could be found in a California gated community. everything that made any of them unique or defined their personalities is just scrubbed off, even for an AU.

so much of the later seasons focus on Sam and Dean realizing that they don’t have to make a hard splitting decision between the lives they want to live; that they can find a balance; be happy and have good things—namely families—without giving up hunting (and vice versa, that they can have hunting without giving up on family or happiness). everybody loves the gay hunters from S10(?12?) and what they represented for Dean, but I almost never see that be put into practice in the fandom.

THEY’RE ALREADY DOMESTIC!!! AND WITH THAT PERFECT BALANCE!!!! Season 13 quite literally gave Team Free Will a surrogate son to raise and established them as a family; highly untraditional, largely dysfunctional, overall not fitting of a family family, and yet they are a family still. Dean wears an apron and cooks and bakes for everyone; he built himself a man cave and established two separate family night events that they all ritually keep up; Sam has a morning jogging routine and visits his girlfriend every so often; Jack was taught how to drive, has normal chores like washing dishes, and gets groceries. And they didn’t just have that while fighting monsters—they had that while fighting a whole fucking archangel. Even if it did go down the gutter by the end, they still had it: domestic familial bliss and violent messy hunting without having to trade one for the other.

✯ I truly genuinely think Jack’s relationship with Dean is the best, most interesting and most misunderstood out of the three, and I also think that the problems with his relationship to Cas and Sam are hugely overlooked by the fandom—granted they are very small, especially if you’re comparing it to Dean, but they’re still there and I think we should bully Cas and Sam about it more. I shan’t elaborate because it’s 5AM and this was an impulsive add-on ❤️

✯ getting normal now…his plaid pattern jacket from the first half of Ouroboros is ugly as SHIT i have never liked it and don’t think I ever will. but I cannot deny it; he got that shit on.

✯ most unpopular opinion of all, I wanna do insane shit to his cervix 🙌

[vivianacht]

making an important announcement about some things i’ve noticed in the gwendoline christie fandom that really bug me.

disclaimer: read this at your own convenience and discretion. i am not responsible for any sort of hurt feelings and frankly… i don’t care. if you’re mad about this, you are probably the problem. /lh

to start with id like to begin on a positive note so that i’m not diving into negativity, i don’t want to be completely negative about my experiences because i’ve actually met some of the kindest people in the world through this fan base.

the gwen fandom, the gwandom, the gwendoline christie fandom , the lesbian cesspool, has been an incredible experience that i’m grateful i’ve had the pleasure of being apart of.

i went through a rough patch during november, and if i hadn’t found out about gwen, or met such wonderful people during my time here , i honestly wouldn’t be here right now. i owe my life to these people, gwen included. i will forever adore miss christie and what she stands for alongside the friends i’ve made along the way.

and while i know someday this hyperfix will end, it’s really disheartening to me when a fandom is what makes me grow distant from things i enjoy. it happened before, i feel as though it is happening all over again.

and no, i’m not taking issue with anything like the catrissa stuff or the brienne and larissa ship going around or anything like that. i like that we can all be weird together and enjoy aus like catrissa and crackships like bririssa (not sure the official name that was decided lol). my issue is the amount of content i’ve seen that either focuses on gwen herself, or the strange relationship with minors, or the odd artwork of gwen, and the absolute disgusting behaviour towards giles.

gwen would be absolutely appalled seeing fanfictions of herself that involve nsfw or just her in general, anyone would, it’s disgusting to make works of real people in that setting. it’s like you’re treating them as an original character you can mould and manipulate as you see fit and using someone who is real with thought and feeling and consciousness for smut fics is not okay, or any fic in general. i totally get the hype around her characters, i literally have “brienne’s princess” in my bio and i’ve had “jane murdstone’s bloodbag” (in reference to my vamp au) as a name in a discord server.

but i think the fandom has begun to blur the lines between fictional characters and reality settings when it comes to gwen and the personalities she portrays on the television screen. it’s not fair to her. it’s disgusting. i’ve seen a minor do it, i’ve seen a grown adult do it. it’s something i don’t see shamed and frowned upon often enough and it’s really not okay.

on that note i’d like to quickly mention the photos, we alllll know what photos i’m talking about. the bunny one, the nudes, the ones gwen has expressed regret towards and wishes to not have them spread. was there not a “fan” who brought her a book of her nudes and wanted her to sign it? that person who was blocked on instagram by gwen because they reposted her nudes on their story and tagged her???? how can you refer to yourself as a fan after behaving so abhorrently? absolutely disgusting behaviour. as a collective fandom we need to stop touching those photos (metaphorically speaking) and leave them in the past.

i’ve been told of numerous circumstances in which adults have shown their nsfw works to minors in this fandom and it has to fucking stop. it’s disgusting!! how can you do that knowingly? i constantly ponder terminating my account after a minor got ahold of my nsfw work, and upon realising they WERE a minor it was as simple as blocking and moving on. it’s truly not that hard, folks. and the minors on tiktok who fight with others saying silly things like “that’s my wife” or worse. i’ve seen it all, i feel like, and the more i see it the more sick i become. i cannot stand it.

i have seen and heard of fans who have fat shamed gwen for that one pink dress she wore to the met gala. she looked so happy in that dress, and the audacity one must have to fatshame that poor woman on twitter then turn around and continue to proclaim your ‘love for her’ as if you’d done no wrong? are you fucking serious? are you mental?

and the sexualisation over the porcelain doll look, gods some of you are sick. those were not real breasts, people. considering the fact she wholeheartedly regrets her nude photoshoots , what possesses you to believe she would actually flaunt her chest in that outfit?

the blatant mistreatment of poor giles is not fucking okay either. just because you’re jealous of someone who makes her immensely happy does not give you the right to post something so vile and cruel about him. shame on you. why do you believe this is okay to post:

????????

are you serious? have any of you stopped to consider how HAPPY giles makes her? or is her happiness the last thing you ponder when you look at her? have you even noticed how unhappy she looks lately? have you truly paused to consider how she would feel about seeing this on your page, random twitter user, or the rest of you who think this is okay? bless your hearts.

and some of the absolutely horrific things i’ve seen about her online and the hurtful behaviour towards giles makes me question the difference between a fan and just the general paparazzi. because if you truly loved her and you truly loved giles then i would not be ranting into the fucking void about it for no reason.

i avoid interacting with pages i find problematic on here to keep from stirring the pot but tonight i chose violence and got reeeeeal pissy about how i felt about this place. it’s not okay what i see on here and it’s getting exhausting seeing the same cycle of content on a daily.

that’s everything i have to say, i think. i probably missed a lot that should be discussed in the comments but i’m done for now because i know if i go on i’ll probably cry.

before you post things about real people with real feelings , stop to consider how they will feel those real feelings towards the content you put out. chances are you’ll become less problematic and obnoxious that way. 💘

#gwendoline christie #gwendolineuniverse #sigh #announcement #i’m upset #this fandom is insane #some of you need help #seriously #like its not even funny #you guys are weird #please repost this everywhere #this is not okay #i’m really tired of seeing these things #and i understand i can block and move on but i feel as though it was important enough to be said #fandom #tumblr fandom #and specifically #the tumblr and tiktok fandom #instagram is becoming just as bad #and twitter has always been atrocious

[sturnsbaebackup]

can you write something about how the fans have started speculating something between you and chris??

RUMORS FLY - CHRIS STURNIOLO

summary: you and chris have been talking, and the fans are starting to notice.

warnings: none!

-

as nick and matt argue about god knows what into their microphones, chris stares down at his phone with a small smile. “chris what’s your opinion on this?” nick asks, but it appears chris hasn’t heard him.

“chris, get off of your fucking phone. we’re on the podcast! who are you even texting that’s so important right now?” matt groans. quickly after being called out chris puts his phone away. he’s very clearly flustered, and he says, “i was just um— texting nate!”

“texting nate? with that big of a smile on your face? i didn’t know nate was so funny… but whatever can you please just get off of your phone and help us settle this debate,” matt says, glaring at chris with a wondering eye. not even his brothers knew about you and chris, but they were bound to find out soon enough.

chris feels his phone buzz on his lap, and he waits until he has a chance to answer it. he doesn’t want to tell you that he’s recording because he doesn’t want to stop talking to you, so he tried to multitask, but clearly he’s not very good at it.

nick suddenly gets up and walks over to chris, snatching his phone from his hands. as he does so, he see’s your contact name and the photo of you and chris cuddling at the top of the screen. “oh my god that’s—“ he blurts out, but immediately stops himself. “—enough! i’m taking your phone until the end of the episode” nick says, immediately catching himself before he reveals you and chris’ secret.

chris’ cheeks turn bright pink, and his heart rate is through the roof. he knows he’ll be grilled with questions once they’re done recording, and he doesn’t know if he’s ready for that yet. eventually the pod is over, and immediately nick hands chris his phone with a smirk.

“have fun texting y/n!” nick shouts as chris begins walking downstairs to his room. a loud gasp can be heard from matt, and chris can feel his cheeks burning up. he scurries into his room and replies to your texts, and immediately opens tiktok to rewatch the tiktok you guys had made a couple days ago. he scrolls through the endless comments, and begins to notice a reoccurring pattern.

“are they dating?!”

“oh i ship this”

“i think they’re dating! i mean, y/n is wearing his brand…”

and so forth. he bites his cheeks to hold his smile in, but ultimately fails when he sees all of the support even when you guys haven’t gone public. as he scrolls through his phone, a gentle knock can be heard on his door.

“come in nick!” he exclaims, not even looking up from his phone. he knows it’s nick because matt has a tendency to just walk in, or bang on the door. one or the other.

“can i ask you something?” nick asks, sitting in the end of chris’ bed.

“yeah, anything,” chris says, putting his phone down and fixing his posture.

“why didn’t you tell me and matt?”

“um— well we aren’t really telling anyone. i mean we’re not dating yet, but—“ he pause, “actually i don’t really know, honestly. i guess i’m just nervous that if i start telling people things will go south,” he shrugs.

“are you planning to ask her out soon?”

“yeah, i am actually. i was gonna do it this weekend, and make it a big surprise for the fans but now i don’t know. the fans are already speculating things, so i feel like i should just scratch the whole big idea i had and ask her the next time we hang out.”

“oh! that was also one of my questions! how the hell have you been hanging out with y/n and both me and matt didn’t know about it?! we live together and i still didn’t know!”

chris chuckles, “there’s a lot of things you don’t know about me nick. and it’s gonna stay that way, so if you could stop asking me a million questions that would be great,” he sarcastically grins, and nick just rolls his eyes. nick closes the door behind him, and chris immediately goes back to texting you.

—

the podcast episode was posted a few days ago, and immediately the fans have been questioning who chris was texting. there have been many many guesses, but most have been you. chris feels like it’s his fault, and the last thing he wants is for you to feel like you’re being led on, so there’s only one thing to do.

“y/n, i have a question,” chris says nervously, looking down at you as your head rests on his arm.

“what is it?” you ask, knowing exactly what it is. or hoping, at least.

“well, obviously i like you. a lot. and i was just wondering if you wanted to make this official? will you be my girlfriend?”

“of course i will chris, is that even a question?” you giggle, and it feels like a weight has been lifted off of chris’ shoulders. he smiles at you and gently places his hands on your cheeks, pulling your faces towards his. your lips melt together, and your hands find their way to the back of his neck.

you both end up falling asleep in chris’ bed, and while you both nap, you’re unaware that nick and matt both arrive back home. they enter chris’ room after calling his name a few times with no response, only to see you both asleep. of course, them being the immature boys they are, take your guys’ picture. unfortunately, you learn about this the hard way when you see the photo in their photo dump a few days later. you gasp and immediately check the comments, expecting tons of hate comments.

“i knew it was y/n! they’re so cute!”

“AWWW”

“cutest couple ever”

you immediately text chris, and you both share a big grin over the situation. although you never would have expected your situation with chris to have gotten semi-exposed, you were just glad everyone was so supportive.

She’s a princess, and you’re a Mandalorian

That’s something no amount of potion will ever change

Din Djarin x reader

summary: A princess has fallen in love with a mandalorian, and he can’t seem to figure out why

a/n: reader is from the made up kingdom of Avana

word count: 824

Mandalorians do not love, it’s simply a fact. If someone so happens to fall in love with one it would never be a princess.

You met Din Djarin when he crashed outside of the grounds of your kingdom. Villagers who lived near the gates of Avana soon started to talk about the mysterious ship that landed in the forest.

“Princess! Have you heard?” One of your mothers advisors asked.

“Heard what?”

“The ship that crashed outside, near the forest,” she said.

“Is anyone going to help?” You wonder.

“Technically, it’s not our grounds, so we don’t have to,” she finished before getting back to her papers.

How could they do that? Just leave someone, presumably helpless all on their own? You honestly thought it was horrible how they decided to just look the other way. You decided to take the matter and do something about it.

You packed a small bag with food, water, first aid, and a small dagger just in case. As you approach the ship you can tell it’s been through a lot of damage. Half of it is lodged into the ground with plenty of scratches and marks to prove its been through hell and back.

You enter through the small opening on the side of the ship, prying open the metal.

“Maker,” you whisper to yourself as you take in your surroundings.

“Hello!” Your voice echoes through the ship, yet no response.

You search through each room until you reach the cockpit. You glide your hands on the panels and intricate details of the room. Your hand grazes over a leaver that’s clearly had the top screwed off, wondering how that would even happen.

You halt in your steps as you feel the front of a blaster pressed against your head. Your shaky hands are lifted in the air as you slowly turn around.

“Who are you?” A gruff, muffled voice says, less of a question and more of a demand.

“I just want to help you,” You say, slightly scared.

“Answer the question.”

“I’m the princess of the kingdom who’s gates you’ve crashed in front of,” You say slightly aggressively.

“We have mechanics, we can fix your ship,” you mention.

“They sent a princess to look at a shipwreck? Without backup? I’m doubtful,” He says, finally putting down his blaster.

Dank Farrick, he’s got a hot voice.

“You can trust me okay? If you do, you're more than welcome to stay in the castle. Have a bed, a warm meal,” you offer.

“What’s the catch?” He wonders.

“You have to talk to me. Have dinner with me, I swear you’ll enjoy it,” you promise.

He starts to wonder why you’re acting like this. Why you’re treating a stranger with such kindness.

“Fine,” he relents.

_

You send mechanics out to the wreck and you bring the man to your castle.

“It’s breathtaking don’t you think?” You ask him as you sit down at the table, pointing out the paintings on the ceiling.

“Quite,” he murmurs.

“What are you?” You ask, taking a spoonful of soup.

“I’m a mandalorian. I’m afraid I can’t take off my helmet to eat,” he admits.

“Oh that’s alright, I don’t mind.”

“Why are you doing this? I haven’t done anything to spark your kindness, so why?” He asks.

“I don’t know why, but I seem to have taken a liking to you. One that I cannot explain. But it’s a feeling I've had since we first met,” you smile.

Love. That feeling is love. You and the mandalorian both know it.

“What will it take for me to see your face?”

“We would need to be bonded by blood.” He says.

“Hm, interesting,” you say, eating more of your soup.

“I still don’t understand. You’re a princess, I am not the kind of person you should be taking a liking to.”

“Are you saying you don’t like me?” You wonder.

“No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying you shouldn’t like me.” He says.

“But I do! I really do. And, once your ship is fixed, I’d like to go with you wherever you’re going. I know that’s a lot to say but I think it would be nice.”

“It’s dangerous. It’s not the kind of place for someone like you. There would be a point that I won’t be able to protect you. And that’s something I'm not willing to do,” he admits.

“I know you might not believe it but I don’t need protection. I do just fine on my own,” You say, but you know he’s still not convinced.

The back and forth goes on between the two of you before he reaches a decision.

“If I take, and I mean if, you do whatever I say, when I say it. No questions, you just do it. Is that clear?”

“Crystal,” you respond.

Din still doesn’t understand why you like, maybe even love him so much, but he definitely isn’t complaining.

[fullyinconsequential]

Here’s a 3am Steddie rant I think every Steddie lover (and possibly hater) should hear. I have no goal to convert anyone—just to say that the ship did not actually “come from nothing.” Here’s why:

I don’t understand how there wasn’t Steddie foresight in the writer’s room.

So they play it up in season 3 like Steve just can’t get the girl and when he does she’s not the right girl and yada yada yada—cool beans. I love his character arc with Robin, their friendship, her queerness. I love their entire bathroom interaction.

Specifically: “It’s somebody that I didn’t even talk to in school. Maybe cuz Tommy H. would’ve made fun of me, or I wouldn’t be prom king…. First of all, she’s hilarious. So funny. I feel like this summer I have laughed harder than I have laughed in a really long time. And she’s smart—way smarter than me…. She’s honestly unlike anyone I’ve ever met before.”

Traits Robin Also Has that Eddie Shares:

Outcast

Band Kid

The Witty Banter

Eddie’s personality is VERY Robin. Not perfectly so, but maddeningly close.

Another point:

This is just the same person in different gender specific fonts, A.K.A. Steve’s “love interest” versus a guy who called him “big boy” completely unprompted and interrupted a tender moment between him and his “love interest” and complimented him for an entire scene while Steve wore his clothes.

So, really, one of them’s Steve’s love interest and the other is Nancy Wheeler /hj.

I write a lot, and as someone who both writes and consumes an abhorrent amount of media, whoever wrote this down, casted and costumed this way, and allowed for the interactions between Steve and Eddie to be as nuanced as they were (EX: the scene in which Eddie steps forward like he has more to say to Steve before he goes off and kills himself) had to have known what was going to happen. There is simply no way of not seeing it.

And if they didn’t want people shipping Steddie at the scale which they do, here’s what went wrong:

First: defaulting to Steve wanting his ex back is just plain shitty writing. It means you don’t know where to go with the character anymore, and since you’re certain he’s done all the growing he can do, he’s just gonna double back to the conflict he was in in the FIRST SEASON.

Are you serious right now, bro?

Steve’s arc as a character has been absolutely heartwarming to watch. If anything, he’d have been better off given the “I need to figure out how to be happy on my own” narrative. Throwing him back at Nancy is a cop out, a big one.

Second: Eddie. Throwing Eddie in the mix was absolutely a WILD decision, because he looks like Nancy, he banters like Robin, and GENDER IS NO LONGER A PLAUSIBLE REASON FOR AN AUDIENCE TO DENY CHEMISTRY, OR EXPLAIN IT AWAY. Not in the year of our lord 2023, no sir. Not unless you’re going to explicitly state in some way to an audience that these characters are DEFINITIVELY STRAIGHT. And with Eddie, they went as far off that course as possible.

The outcast stuff. The D&D stuff. The hatred of the system. The mysteriously living with his uncle and not his parents. THE HANKERCHIEF IN HIS BACK POCKET.

So essentially, this is what they did:

They took a beloved character, flubbed over his character arc because they weren’t sure what to do with it.

Then, they created a SECOND beloved character, made him likable, lovable, even, and relatable. Then they gave him half and half personality and looks of Steve’s last two love interests. Then they gave us scenes of them together where they showed chemistry, genuineness, and playfulness.

Then they EXPECTED that we as an audience had enough heteronormativity left as a society to say—oh, those two guys aren’t flirting with each other even a little bit because they’re two guys and obviously that doesn’t happen.

WHEN IN THE SAME SEASON WE WATCHED WILL AND ROBIN GO GAY PANIC AND DESPAIR LIKE?????

Pick a side pick a side, are your characters fucking gay or is your audience fucking blind?

Point being, I have some friends IRL who don’t really get this. They think Steve and Eddie hardly interacted enough for there to be romance at all, but I think it’s less about how much they interacted and more about the (unintentional) set up they were given by the writers.

Steve’s a truly beloved character and I don’t know on ST fan that wants to see him just end up back with Nancy Wheeler like his entire character arc was just to “get the girl” and “have six kids.” Which he already has by the way.

Anyway, that’s just my two cents. I’m not advocating for anyone to ship them, I’m just saying it’s honestly a perfectly logical conclusion to make, especially if you CARE about Steve as a character, you know? We want him to be with someone genuine, someone who challenges him to be better, to be different than he was. Nancy couldn’t handle doing that. Robin could, but they’re platonic af.

So why wouldn’t it be Eddie?

Rest in peace, by the way. You would’ve loved this text post.

hihi !!

can you do an Usopp X reader where reader is a much better liar than he is and it always sounds believable—and honestly sometimes it is the truth, so no one realizes until either Y/N tells them it was a lie or it’s too late and they’ve already fallen for it and USO’s just like “… AH—WAS THAT A LIE? YOU LITTLE!” but it’s cute? I dunno how but it’s all silly silly banter

bonus points if despite this, Y/N somehow always falls for Usopp’s lies even when they’re shitty asf 😭

Hey! This was such a great idea! I had a lot of fun writing it. I hope I did it justice for you! I tried to brainstorm and be original with it. Hope you enjoy reading! Summary: When a lying competition gets a little out of hand. Characters: Usopp, GN!Reader, Sanji, Zoro, Nami, and Luffy. Pairing: Usopp x GN!Reader TW: Nothing that I know of.

Liar, Liar

.·:·.✧ ✦✧.·:·.

There is a week that the Strawhat crew officially calls the worst week in hell. Now, you might be thinking that something horrendously bad happened. Maybe there was a series of bad events during that week? Maybe they were stranded on an island for a week and couldn’t leave? Something bad. You would be wrong. Nothing horrible happened during that week… Unless you count a lying competition as something horrible.

It all started with the two resident liars on the crew, Usopp and (Y/N). To say that lying was their specialty would be putting it lightly. They were experts. If anyone could convince you of anything, it would be them. This was useful on multiple occasions, especially with their pirate lifestyle. It was an absolute hindrance when that ability was used against you.

One day, a conversation took place between the two. It was a day like any other day. It was another day out at sea. The crew was bored to death. It was a while before they would reach the next island and they had zero entertainment. They all did things to keep them occupied in the meantime. Zoro polished his swords, Sanji was cooking their lunch, Nami was studying the Grand Line map, and Luffy was sitting on the mast. This left the last two additions of the Strawhat Crew.

“You have a tell when you’re lying,” (Y/N) was on one of the crates on the deck of the ship. Their legs were crossed, and so were their arms. They were giving a stern look to Usopp.

Hearing this from them made the man make a face. This expression clearly said, ‘You’re lying.’ Usopp scoffed with a smile on his face, “No, I don’t. I’ve taught myself to remain perfectly normal,” He locked eyes with them, “If anyone has a tell, it’s you.”

That wasn’t true. They had zero tells whatsoever. They stared at him with a questioning look, “Oh, really? Then what is it?” They knew he wouldn’t be able to name anything. They were confident in their lying skills.

For a few moments, Usopp stumbled over his words, “Well, uh… You do the thing-” (Y/N) hummed, urging him to continue. All that came from him was jumbled-up words that didn’t make sense. It wasn’t long until (Y/N) started giggling. This was all it took to set Usopp off. He nodded to himself and leaned forward, “Okay. How about this… We have a lying competition,” Now (Y/N) was interested. “Whoever can make everyone believe the most outrageous lie wins.”

A smirk took over (Y/N)’s features, “You’re on.”

Just like that, the week started. Both parties started off with small lies. Things like shoes being untied or lying to get out of doing stuff. Then, it started to get bigger. They would lie about forgetting something important or being sick. That’s when (Y/N) decided to take it up a notch. They knew exactly what they could do to win.

In the morning, while they were docked at a new island, everything was calm. The crew was eating breakfast and chatting over what they were going to do that day. The only one not there yet was (Y/N). This wasn’t surprising. They always overslept. What was alarming to the group was when they walked into the room with a panicked expression. With wide eyes, they said, “I can’t find the map.”

The group froze. Nami slowly looked up from her food, “Which map?”

“The Grand Line map.”

Everything went to chaos. They all freaked as they looked furiously around the ship. They came up with nothing. This made them panic more. What could have happened to it? They rarely took it off the ship. When they did, it was always with one of them. They would never take the risk of having it out in the open for someone to take. After more moments of freaking out, one of them took charge.

“Who had it last?” Zoro inquired.

Only one person spoke up, “I was, but I would never lose it.” It was Nami. That wasn’t surprising. She had the map on her at all times. Though, everyone knew she wouldn’t be dumb enough to misplace it somehow.

“Let’s retrace your steps!” Usopp suggested. “If we can find out everything you did yesterday, we can find the map.”

This gave (Y/N) an idea. They pulled out the container the map was usually kept in and looked inside once more. That’s when something caught their eye. They pulled it out for everyone to see. It was a slip of paper. Everyone stared at the slip of paper curiously. (Y/N) scanned their eyes over it before they sighed, “It says that it was taken. They’ll give it back for a ransom.”

“Ransom?” Sanji questioned.

“Maybe we can take it back by force!” A smirk appeared on Luffy’s face.

Shaking her head, Nami asked the question on everyone’s mind, “Does it say who took it?”

Once again, (Y/N) looked down at the note. Their eyes stopped on a particular part of the note, “Hold on, I didn’t notice this before. It says..,” Everyone waited, worried for what they might hear them say. “It says that I lied,” (Y/N) looked up from the note with a grin. They pulled the map out of their bag. “It was right here the whole time.”

All hell broke loose from three people.

“Not this again!” Sanji.

“Can you guys cut it out already?!” Nami.

“This lying competition is getting out of hand.” Zoro.

And Luffy was laughing at the reactions of their crewmates.

Meanwhile, Usopp had a shocked expression on his face, “SO THAT WAS A LIE?” (Y/N) hummed, rocking back and forth on their heels. “YOU LITTLE-”

He was quickly cut off by (Y/N) saying, “I guess this means that I won!”

No response was given. Usopp shook his head with an amused expression. He walked up to them and took the map from their waiting hand. He opened up the map and suddenly froze. He looked at (Y/N) with a serious face, “(Y/N), this isn’t the map.”

Fear filled (Y/N). Everyone else froze when they heard him say this. (Y/N) didn’t know what to say when they heard his words, “But- It should be. I didn’t lose it- I wouldn’t lose it- I had it with me the whole ti-” A grin grew on Usopp’s face. “OH, I HATE YOU!”

Lying competitions were banned after this incident.

For What It's Worth

Mammon has questions, but he doesn't necessarily want answers.

Ship: Mammon x Reader...? Word Count: 603 Cross-Posted on AO3

Answer me honestly. Am I the same as my brothers to you?

I can’t figure that out.

I shouldn’t be. I should be special. I was the first one, ya know. First one you made a pact with, yeah, but also I was takin’ care of you and all that garbage even before that happened. Lucifer put me in charge of ya. So I’m the most special one. I want you to treat me like I’m the most special one. I really…want to be the most special one. I’m never anyone’s special anything.

I know that’s probably kind of a shock, seein’ how much I’m respected around here, but it’s true. My brothers never come to me when they need help. If they’re lookin’ for me, it’s almost always ‘cause they want me to pay them back some ancient debt I forgot about years ago. But you’re not my brother. You’re not even a demon. So… I mean, what do you think? I’m pretty awesome, ain’t I?

For what it’s worth, y’know… You’re the number one human in my book. And I ain’t just sayin’ that! You’re one of a kind, you know that? Maybe that’s why I want you to see me like that too. Like I’m worth somethin’. Like I’m worth keepin’ around.

Agh. I hate when I start talkin’ like this. I sound so mopey. And maybe I wouldn’t normally say this to you, but I really…I need you to like me. You don’t gotta be in love with me or any crap like that! I mean, I’m not sayin’ I’d have a problem with that, but just…like me. At least like me. I feel like if someone like you thinks I’m worth a damn, then everyone’ll see it. They all listen to what you’ve got to say. So if you happened to be in the middle of a conversation and you went out of your way a little and said, “Damn, you know, that Mammon is one reliable guy.” Somethin’ like that? If you did that, then people would realize I’m actually pretty awesome.

You believe that, right? That I’m reliable? I mean, I get it, I’m shit at payin’ back loans and all that, but have I ever left ya in the lurch? Never! I always go lookin’ for ya, no matter what stupid crap you get yourself into! Nobody ever mentions that. It’s always, “Mammon’s such a scumbag, he owes me 20,000 Grimm,” or “Mammon’s such a loser, he’s always borrowin’ something from somebody. It’s so pathetic!” One of the drawbacks of livin’ in hell. Folks seem to always get hung up on the negatives. But you, you’re no demon, so you probably see things different. You probably see me different! 

…I wanna know how you see me. I wish I could just ask. Why’s everything so damn difficult?

How do you see me? Am I a scumbag who’d do anything for a Grimm? Am I an idiot who sold his freedom for a credit card? Am I at least kinda funny to be around? I think I could be alright with that.

But am I more than that? Am I a friend ya can count on? Am I a friend you can trust with anything? Am I more than a friend?

…

That’s what I wanna ask. I wanna ask if I’m more than a friend. But I don’t know if I wanna know the answer.  So let’s just keep things how they are. You’re still a rock star. I’m still a dumbass. But, you know… for what it’s worth…

I’m your dumbass.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon | S1E1 Thoughts

Okay I am gonna list all my positive and negative thoughts regarding each episode (I know no one asked but I feel like this is the only thing I am somewhat “qualified” to talk about ad nauseam on here).

⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️ do not read below the cut unless you’re okay with spoilers

Positive Thoughts

Norman’s acting is so good like?? Listen we all know he’s not Laurence Olivier and he doesn’t claim to be but goddamnit he nails the subtleties of Daryl’s expressions and conveys his emotions really well I think! I’m very impressed

Daryl hot

Obviously the cinematography, setting, and aesthetics are really cool. It’s both gritty but pretty!! I love the gothic architecture and how OLD everything looks, which is only exacerbated by the apocalyptic feel

Everyone in the cast is so good in terms of acting (well, I mean… Laurent is certainly there but he’s a child so we’ll be lenient)

Daryl hot

The walkers are great as usual. I love the burners. Really interesting! I’m kind of wondering if the “experiments” the people on the ship refer to relate to the burners? Maybe they’re making them like that idk.

I love the religious imagery. We have had cults and stuff in TWDU before but I don’t think we’ve had this Catholic vibe going on. I’m a sucker for anything nun related because I have a weird infatuation with them, so I’m all for it.

DARYL BATHTUB SCENE??? They put that in for the girls and the gays and we are LIVING for it

Daryl hot

Daryl is so reminiscent of early seasons TWD era with his witty lines and snark remarks. I feel like we don’t get to see this side of Daryl very often anymore, but now that he has his own show and is THE main character, we get to see those sides that have been neglected again. I also love how much he sort of scoffs at the nuns and their religion. Atheist Daryl we love to see it

It’s cool seeing people in France dealing with the same things our characters have dealt with since the beginning. It’s interesting to see these new parts of the world in this universe for sure

Daryl hot

I honestly just love thinking about how when Daryl gets home he is gonna have such a crazy ass story to tell everyone! It’s gonna be so cute to see him telling all the kids about how heroic he is and ugh yessss

Daryl deserves his own show. He deserves to be THE main character. People who said he can’t lead a show? Nah. Reconsider

I also love that Daryl MIGHT potentially save the world. Cool asf. And if anyone from the original series should save the world, I think it’s him.

Daryl hot

Negative Thoughts:

Okay. I have some very petty/subjective critiques. I realize a lot of you guys probably disagree with me but that’s okay! Don’t read my negative thoughts if you aren’t prepared to be annoyed with me lol. Once again, a lot of these are super petty/nitpicky

First thing that bothers me is that Daryl says he is from the Commonwealth. No. He is from Alexandria, thank you very much. Well, at least he should be. He should’ve been living at Alexandria imo but the finale didn’t really make it explicitly clear where he was living in that year time jump. Basically I just hate the Commonwealth because I have zero attachment to it and it’s just a stupid ass place that I wanna forget about

Daryl seeing Carol in his haze 🙄 … just annoys me solely because Carol annoys me. They could’ve just shown Judith because that would’ve made more sense to me. But don’t get me started, I don’t even want Carol in season 2. Anyway.

Laurent isn’t terrible but he’s kind of annoying in that “I’m so smart I know everything” way. Just very annoying smart kid at school who everyone hated vibes. Plus I just don’t think it’s realistic that he would be THAT smart just from being raised in a convent of nuns

I also fail to understand what they’re doing with Laurent. Is he just some kid that the nuns think is the messiah or is he ACTUALLY the messiah? Like are they gonna throw in a whole other supernatural religious element? Because Laurent conveniently knows Judith’s line from the finale “you deserve a happy ending too.” Right down to the letter. I find it cheesy as hell because I’m so tired of these blatant in your face parallels that are trying to be clever, which always involve children too like we get it children are basically the duck tape of TWDU. Don’t know what to do for this plot? Throw some kids in there!

Neither Positive nor Negative Thoughts:

I don’t trust the nuns. I think they’re gonna use Daryl to get what they want and they don’t really care about getting him home. Worse, I think it could be possible that Isabelle won’t let him get home. She already tried to keep him from using the radio. I’m not saying I hate her character or anything (I actually like her so far… as long as she stays friendly and not… overly friendly), I just think she’s way too invested in this “messiah” stuff to actually care about Daryl so I fear she will take advantage of him. We shall see.

Ok, those are pretty much all of my thoughts!

It's Just Us Here

Summary: Summary: When the war ends, you decide to fulfill the promise you silently made to Jesse when you first started dating him. Two weeks on a private remote island on a tropical planet hours away from anyone who might make him do any work.

Pairing: ARC Trooper Jesse x Reader

Word Count: 2245

Warnings: Smut, Dom/Sub relationship, oral (f receiving), cockwarming

Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni

A/N: Here is Jesse smut for you all. Because I love him and he deserves it. Also, the smut became fluff because it's what he deserves.

“Babe,” There’s laughter in Jesse’s voice, and you couldn’t be happier about it, it’s been too long since your perfect man has been happy. “Babe, where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise,” You reply as you spin to face him, “We’re almost there. Trust me.” You smile at him prettily, and he reaches up to lightly brush some of your hair out of your face.

“I do trust you, and I’m happy to spend time with you, but I thought we were going to be relaxing. Not going on an expedition.” Jesse teases.

You pout at him, “There’s nowhere to relax on Coruscant, so we had to take a ship. Besides, I didn’t hear you complaining when we were staying in the cabin.”

“Babe, you spent a large majority of the flight naked and pressed against me. I’m fairly certain I wasn’t thinking about anything other than that.” Jesse replies dryly.

You grin at him, “You’re such a guy sometimes.” You say fondly.

“Yeah well, I didn’t hear any complaints from you. In fact, all I heard from you was ‘more, please’ and ‘don’t stop’.” Jesse pitches his voice higher to mimic your voice and you bump him with your shoulder.

“I do not sound like that.”

“Do so. I would know. I hear it more than you do.” He teases.

“For now,” You sniff.

Jesse just grins at you, and drops a loud kiss on your cheek. “Now, where are you taking me, cyare?”

You take his hands and tug him through the crowd of people over to a man carrying a sign with your name on it, standing in front of a smaller ship, “We, love, are spending the next two weeks on a private island.”

Jesse blinks at you.

“It’s just going to be you and me, and maybe a couple of birds.”

“Babe-”

“Is it too much?”

“How did you afford this?”

You blink at him, “I’ve been saving since we started dating.” You admit honestly. “I didn’t take a single vacation day, and I took as much overtime as I could when you were off planet.”

“Babe, you didn’t have to-”

“Yes. I did.” You smile at him anxiously, “Will you come and see it, before you say it’s too much?”

“Of course I will.”

You beam at him, and then turn to the man holding the sign. You speak to him for several moments, and then turn to Jesse, “Alright, he’s ready to bring us now, if you wanna grab the suitcase?”

Jesse grabs the suitcase, and climbs on the ship after you, and the door slides shut behind him. 

30 minutes later, you’re climbing off the ship and onto a sandy beach with Jesse on your heels. The island isn’t massive, but it is covered in white sandy beaches, a nice little bungalow, and you know there’s a hidden waterfall somewhere on the island.

The transport leaves, and Jesse looks around, a slightly awed look on his face, “All of this is just for us?” He asks.

“Yup.” You pull your hair off of your neck, “There will be another food delivery at the end of the week, we just need to use the datapad left in the kitchen to place our order.”

“..holy shit, babe.”

You laugh, “Come on, from the virtual tour I took, the inside is amazing. Plus, it’s hot and I want to change into something cooler.”

With that said, you lead Jesse towards the house, and slide the door open.

The house is open and clean, and though it’s not massive, it is big enough for you and Jesse. There’s the bedroom, with a bed big enough for at least four people, and the attached fresher’s bathtub looks like it was designed for a king.

The kitchen is large and clean, with plenty of storage places. 

But, your favorite place, and the reason you chose this island over any of the other ones, is the room with the hot tub.

The hot tub is completely enclosed in its own room attached to the house, that way no wild animals can get into it. However, there’s a control panel next to the door that will turn the scenery into anything that you want. 

Which means that you can soak in the hot tub under the stars even in the middle of the day.

Jesse hasn’t seen the hot tub yet, he got distracted with the bedroom, which is totally understandable.

But you, you have plans. And those plans don’t involve the bed.

Well. Not yet, at least.

So you slip into the hot tub room, and turn the scenery to the proper setting, with the star and the moon high in the sky, and then you start the hot tub. 

You consider, for a moment, telling Jesse what you’re about to do, and then you change your mind. It’ll be better for him to find you already in the hot tub.

So, with a sly smile on your lips, you peel off your clothes and toss them on the floor just inside the living room, where Jesse will see them, and then you climb into the tub, and sink into the hot water with a sigh.

It’s perfect.

The only way it’ll be better is if Jesse joins you.

Jesse comes looking for you less than ten minutes later.

“Babe?” You hear him from the living room, and then you hear a low chuckle and the door to the room slides open properly. 

He whistles lowly as he takes in the room with a quick glance, but the majority of his gaze is locked on you. “Decided to get started without me, cyar’ika?” He asks as he comes to stand next to the hot tub, his dark gaze dragging down your body.

You smile at him innocently, “You were taking so long,” You drag out the words as you stretch your arms over your head, “And I got bored.” You add with a playful pout.

“Well, we can’t have that now can we?” Jesse asks, not taking his gaze off of you as he slowly peels his clothes off. 

You turn in the tub, hungrily drinking in every inch of skin that he reveals. You love him. Every scar, every stretch mark, every muscle. And you could spend the rest of your life staring at him and die a happy woman.

“You’re so gorgeous,” You sigh out adoringly, sitting up on your knees to make grabby hands at him.

“Stars, you’re needy,” Jesse replies with a laugh as he climbs into the tub and immediately has to catch you when you fling yourself into his arms. “It’s like I never touch you or something.”

You perch yourself on his knees, nearly purring when his rough hands drag down the sensitive skin of your sides. “I have no idea what you mean,” You say primly.

“Of course not,” Jesse leans in and kisses you, a quick kiss, chaste almost. Chaste enough, at least, that when he pulls away, you whine at him. He just chuckles and attaches his lips to your neck, nipping gently, and then soothing the spots with his tongue. “Mm, is my good girl being bratty today?”

“I,” You say through a moan as he finds the spot on your neck that makes you weak, “am never bratty.”

“Is that right?” Jesse presses a feather light kiss below your ear, and then drags his lips to your shoulder, where he nips roughly enough that you squeak, “So you’re not going to be bratty no matter what.”

“Nope.” You reply breathlessly.

“You’re going to be a good girl for me and listen?” Jesse asks, his lips curling up into a grin against your skin.

“Yup.”

He pulls away, and there’s mischief in his eyes, “Oh, I’ll believe it when I see it, pretty girl.” There’s a look on his face that makes your stomach flip with nervous excitement. His hands slide down your sides again, and then up your spine, and his lips move back to your throat.

Usually, Jesse starts off with marking you as much as he can stand and then he moves on to more enjoyable things, like making you fall apart around his fingers or tongue.

But not this time. This time he keeps his touch feather light, and his lips don’t trail lower than your collar bone.

And you can’t help it. You want him so bad, and you know he’s just as aroused back on the erection you can feel pressed against you, so you whine his name and trail your fingers to his hard length, wanting, needing, more than he’s giving you. 

But before you can even give him a teasing stroke, his hands are wrapped around your wrists, and there is a look of triumph in his face, “Mm, good girls ask before they touch, cyar’ika.”

You pout at him prettily, “But I want you. And I know you want me.”

He kisses you, his teeth catching your lower lip with a teasing nip, before he pulls away, “I thought you said you were going to be good?”

“Please Jesse?” He adjusts you on his lap and lightly strokes your ass before he gives it a slap, pulling a yelp from you, and then a pout. “Please?”

“What do you want, my pretty girl?” Jesse asks.

“You! You’re cock. Please?”

“Hm…do you deserve my cock, cyar’ika?”

“Yes!”

“Mm, I’m not so sure you do.”

“Jesse-” You whine his name and he chuckles.

“You have been very good at using your words to tell me what you want,” He muses thoughtfully as he strokes the sore spot on your rear, “Sit up on the edge of the hot tub, cyar’ika.”

“But that’s not what I want-” You whine, and then you squeak when he lifts you and sits you where he wants you.

“I know it isn’t.” Jesse replies with a grin, “I decided that you haven’t earned my cock yet.” He lazily strokes your inner thigh, “So I’m going to make you fall apart on my tongue.” He coos as his thumb ghosts across your slick slit, “And if you cum before I give you permission, then you’re going to get punished.”

Arousal washes through you, “Punished how?”

“Hm, maybe I’ll use those toys you like so much on you until you can’t think straight.” He teases, “But then, I know you and I know you’ll enjoy that.”

“Would not.” You reply automatically, and then you moan as his thumb presses against your clit, “Jesse-”

“Maybe I’ll tie you up and make you watch while I fist my cock,” He murmurs as he leans in and presses a kiss to your thigh, “Deny you what you want so much. Make you wait for the orgasm you want so badly.”

“Would not.”

“Are you sure about that?” Jesse asks, a grin on his lips.

You hesitate, and his grin grows, “That’s what I thought,” He drapes one of your legs over his shoulders and presses a kiss to your cunt, “So, be a good girl, and I’ll give you everything you want tonight.”

And then he gives you a long lick, his tongue zeroing in on your clit as you rest your hands on the top of his head. He alternates between flicking his tongue and sucking gently, and it doesn’t take long before you're squirming, and he has to hold both of your legs open.

“Kriff,” He breathes against you, “You’re so sensitive, I love it.”

“Jess-” You moan his name, “Please-”

He slows his movements, and you release a frustrated noise, “Patience, cyar’ika,” Jesse murmurs reassuringly.

“Don’t wanna-” You gasp out, “Jesse please, let me feel you-”

He kisses your thigh once, twice, and his dark eyes are locked on your face. And then a quiet curse falls from his lips, and faster than you really know what’s happening, he’s sitting back in the water and you’re positioned just over his straining cock.

Slowly you sink down on his hard length. And you only stop when you are pressed flush against him. His hands glide across your body, caressing and teasing, but when you go to start moving, he tightly grips your hips holding you still. 

“Hold on, babe.” He murmurs.

Your face is flushed, and you feel like there’s a million bees buzzing under your skin, and you want nothing more than to fall apart under Jesse, but even so you don’t move. “What…is something wrong?”

One of his hands slides up to cup your face, and you lean your head into his touch, “I love you.” Jesse whispers.

You press your forehead against his, “I love you too.” You whisper back to him, “But, stars, Jesse, I need you to move.”

He laughs softly, and tucks your hair behind your ear, “Can we stay like this, just for a bit? I want to be close to you.”

And you melt a little bit, “I can’t promise that I’m going to be able to stay still,” You admit.

He chuckles, “That’s okay. I did get you all riled up after all.” He rains light kisses all across your face, “I just need to be close to you for a bit.”

You hum thoughtfully, and wrap your arms around his neck, being careful not to move too much. You know that Jesse will probably start to tease you before long, but for now you’re happy just being with him, and having him with you.

Not Leaving You Behind ~ *Jing Yuan*

Summary: A Stellaron has found its way onto the ship Jing Yuan has been traveling on, causing irreparable damage. The only thing left to do now is run. Yet, why didn't he notice it sooner?

Pairing: Jing Yuan X G/N!Reader

Genre: Angstyish Oneshot (Hurt to comfort)

Word Count: 1925

Warning: Jing Yuan OOC? Maybe?

Masterlist

The ship was on fire. Jing Yuan couldn’t believe his eyes as he surveyed the destruction before him, not understanding the chaos happening right in front of his very eyes. Wasn’t it just yesterday that this ship was bustling with life and adventure? What had occurred for all of this devastation to happen like this?

With a slam, the doors to the study he was currently in were thrown open and he turned to see it was only you. You were panting heavily, your clothes torn and a streak of blood was splashed across your cheek, yet you appeared to be unharmed. Despite the terrible circumstances around the two of you, you still bowed before speaking to him.

“My Lord, we have to get you off of this ship immediately. It’s not safe for you here.” You exclaimed, sounding winded.

He glanced back out the window facing the main floor of the ship, seeing the fire only grow. “What happened? What caused all of this? I don’t understand…” He trailed off.

Sighing, you spoke softly. “We're not sure but we assume it has something to do with a Stellaron. It's the only thing that makes sense, but none of the crew has been able to locate it. I’m so, so, so sorry you had to find out this way, My Lord.”

Again, Jing Yuan became confused. It couldn’t be possible. A Stellaron? It wasn't possible. It just couldn't be! They were rare and as soon as one was found and implanted, it made immeasurable destruction for centuries. There is no way a Stellaron made its way onto this ship. Not while Yukong or the rest of the Xianzhou Alliance's Sky-Faring Commission has anything to say about it. No, he refused to believe it.

And yet…

When he looked in your eyes, he knew.

He knew you were telling the truth. You never lied to him. And, honestly, out of the two of you, it was you who were more perceptive. You probably noticed the effects of a Stellaron before anyone else on this ship. He knew he could trust you and if you said it was a Stellaron, he knew you were right.

Jing Yuan could feel himself slump in defeat. A Stellaron was hard to defeat, near impossible. However, there was one on the Astral Express who could help them now. But they were too far away. They would never make it in time. It was hopeless. The ship was a total loss.

Seeing his look of defeat, you tried to urge him again to leave. “Please, My Lord, you need to evacuate if you want to live. Yukong is rounding up every last person on this ship into escape pods. The plan is to scatter and eventually meet back up at a safer location. Please, you need to come with me and I will protect you.”

He looked at you with eyes devoid of emotion. “Why bother? I let them down. I let everyone down. I should have seen something, felt something was off. I should've known better and yet, I let this happen. I was too blind, too carefree to notice anything was wrong. I don’t deserve to escape and be free when I bring all of this to happen.”

You shook your head frantically. “No, Yuan! You can't think this way!”

That was the first time you ever called him by his first name. He blinked at your words, a jolt passing through his body. The only thought running through his head was he liked the way you said his name.

Sighing and tugging at your hair, a habit of yours for when you are stressed or anxious, you continue, “I can’t just stand by and watch you die. It wasn’t your fault. A Stellaron is a tricky thing. No one would have noticed it in time. Besides, even if we did, there would have been nothing we could do about it. Sometimes, things just don't work out in our favor. But I know we can get through this, just like we've gone through so much more before. So please, I beg of you, let me get you to safety. I don’t want to leave you behind.”

He didn’t know how to respond. He didn’t think you cared about him this much, considering it wasn’t till now that you ever used his first name. But he could see in your pleading eyes and hear in your begging voice how much you believed in him. Even if it seemed like everyone was against him, it appeared you would be right there beside him no matter what.

“Why?” He breathed.

You looked at him confused. “What?”

He reiterated, “Why? Why do you believe in me so much? Why are you willing to risk your life to bring me to safety?”

Biting your lip, you confessed, “Because I know deep down you’re a good man. There are people out here and across this galaxy who care about you a great deal. It would be devastating if you decided to give up your life and what you've done has meant nothing to countless people out there. Besides, I’ve always believed in you, Yuan, even before all of this happened.”

Again, he was speechless. Never in a million years would he ever realize just how much you truly cared for him. Secretly he was always vying for your affection, but knowing that he always had it surprised him. A small spark in him ignited. Knowing that you believed in him, he started to believe in himself. He needed to live, for all of the people like you who still believed in him after all this time.

Nodding, he said, “I’ll go with you. I’ll follow wherever you lead.”

A beautiful smile flashed across your face before you instantly became serious once more. “We need to hurry. The fires are growing and it won't be long until this ship explodes. I know exactly where the escape pod is that Yukong has designated for you. We'll have a fleet of escape pods following us as we head for Thalassa. Then we will wait for Yukong or Fu Xuan to contact us at the next meet up point to reorganize the Alliance once more. Just follow me and do exactly what I do, alright? Our lives depend on it."

Again he nodded, ready to follow you to safety and, hopefully, to a brighter future. His heart almost stuttered to a stop when you took his hand in yours but he pushed his feelings to the side. He needed to be more concerned about making it out off this ship alive than acting on his feelings towards you. You led him through the passageways of the ship that wound their way towards the escape pods. He felt himself tense at the destruction left behind from the Stellaron and Fragmentum.

Sensing his sadness, you squeezed his hand tightly. “I know it’s hard to bear it, but the sooner we get out of here, the sooner you won’t have to see this mess. I promise you, everything will be alright.”

“How many survivors are there?” He inquired. It was a question he was afraid to ask, but he needed to know what happened, as it was better to know than live in a constant state of wonder.

You winced. “I’m not sure you want to know the answer.”

“Please, just tell me.” He pleaded. “I’d rather know.”

Nodding, you explained, "Less than you would like. But we are still strong in numbers. I'm sure we'll have plenty of people to take care of when we reach Thalassa. But for now, let's not focus on how bleak things are. This will all be over soon, I promise. It will be alright. Trust me, I speak from experience.”

Jing Yuan remembered then that you were an orphan who came to the ship as a prisoner for stealing. Fu Xuan had taken pity on you and had you trained as an intelligence gatherer for the Xianzhou Alliance. She also helped with your education regarding divination, which you seemed to have a knack for. It didn't take long before you became a trusted member of the crew and were put in his care. He sighed to himself, trying to push all the memories of the past away for now.

Eventually you found yourself at the last escape pod bay. Only one was still open, the one for you and Jing Yuan to share. He was hesitant to step inside but you squeezed his hand.

"I'll be right beside you, I promise."

As he entered, you closed the hatch and began punching in the coordinates. It didn't take long for the small escape pod to be launched off the main ship and into the deep throes of space. The two of you were now hurtling through the galaxy, towards Thalassa.

You sighed and leaned back in your chair. "Everything's been all set up and taken care of. It should be a straight shot from there. I expect to hear from Yukong no later than two weeks from now. Then the Xianzhou Alliance will be restored and everything will be back to the way it once was."

He nodded, still feeling numb about the whole situation. Just yesterday he was living a life of luxury, without a care in the world. And now he was running for his life as the ship he's called home for a while now blew up from a Stellaron. He didn’t know what to think or say anymore. But he did think of one thing.

"Allow me to drive us to Thalassa."

"You really don't have to." You try to assure him. "I can manage."

He shook his head. "No. It's the least I can do after you helped me escape. I am in your debt."

"No, you most certainly are not." You shoot back with defiance before sighing. "I'm sorry this has happened and I'm sorry it is affecting you more than you anticipated. But things like this happen. Until all of the Stellaron's are contained and the Anti-Matter legion is brought to justice, these things will keep happening. So please don't feel like you are indebted to me. We have bigger things to worry about."

He sighed. "I know. I just, I feel so powerless right now."

You nod. "I understand. Believe me, I'm one of the few people who can understand what you're feeling right now. But I just want you to know that I will always be here for you, no matter what. So if you need a shoulder to cry on or someone to yell at or for someone to just listen, I will. I’m here for you, Yuan, and I’m never going to leave you behind.”

Without a second thought, he crashed his lips against yours. You squeaked a bit in shock before slowly melting into the kiss. You could feel every emotion he was feeling in that kiss and your heart ached right along with his. Pulling away slowly, it was your turn to not know what to say or feel.

“Y/n, I love you. I always have and I always will. Knowing that you will be here by my side no matter what makes me happier than anything. Thank you. Thank you for everything. Thank you for not leaving me behind.” He breathed, his eyes still closed as his forehead pressed to yours and his hands stroked your face.

Sitting next to him, you held him closer before whispering, “I will never leave you behind.”

(More so autism but it’s the 60s and no one knows anything then) They know that’s the reason most people don’t hang with her, because she’s not the best at convo and eye contact, but they like her cause she’s cool? Also TwoBit takes her on a few dates

-he’d love it

-finds it fascinating and learns more about it just to chat with you about it

-yall are in you’re own world and the gang is just like 🤷‍♀️👍

Johnny Cade

-he thinks you’re pretty cool and if anyone has shit to say he’s tellin them tf off

Sodapop Curtis

-so sweet

-I don’t think he’d judge you in the first place

-I think he ships you and two bit a lot

-If you struggle with anything he would help you

-like explaining stuff

-also helps you a lot with social cues

-he’s super supportive though

-he literally thinks you’re an angel sent down to like, tame two bit

Darry Curtis

-he’s the most likely to try and research

-like learn more about you and certain things

-and when he can’t find anything he wants to try to conduct research

-and I feel like he would try to understand understand on some level

-the last person who made fun of you got punched by him

-he is really good at giving compressed hugs

-n asks before he hugs you

Dally Winston

-ignorant little shit

-I’m sorry he’d be mean at first because he’s an ignorant little shit

-and you told him straight up “Stop. You’re being a dick and you don’t even know me.”

-and he was kinda like 🤯

-he played it off as like yeah whatever but

- rest of the gang was irritated with him

-so he stopped making jokes and actually learned you were pretty cool

I was using my personal Twitter (or I guess X now) account that has nothing about B//leach on it, and I still saw tweets calling us IRs toxic and the worst part of the fandom, and I just remembered the terrible messages I got for years just for liking IR

The reason why I saw it was someone else saying that they still didn’t animate R//enji in that scene where R//ukia thinks about other people but him, which I found it weird back then myself how she never really gave all that much thought to him, and seemed annoyed by him. I know many IRs hate him, but as someone who was back then a huge R//enji fan I still found it weird how one sided a lot of that relationship seemed. That’s why I stopped shipping them. I shipped R//enruki before I even shipped IR, but I have no proof bc I wasn’t in B//leach spaces when I first read the manga, if anyone wonders.

It’s still weird to me how I just can’t enjoy my ship in peace without seeing something online about the fans/my ship outside of Tumblr or even my fan account on Twitter (which I no longer use for this reason)

Like I just see all these amazing people I’ve met in my years in the fandom painted as the bad guy, even when they were there for me during some of my worst moments or even recently to just say “I’m so sorry for your loss” after a post I made, and I just feel powerless. And I know now in anime history we’re gonna be remembered as shitty people and not as some of the most creative people I know, and honestly we put more thought in our analysis than K//ubo himself probably did, all because of a ship.

I rue the day when the ships became canon instead of simply, everyone just staying friends and not having time skips that added nothing to the story except some weird analogy with the first chapter, that made 0 sense as an allusion bc the kids don’t even look that much like the parent they’re supposedly alluding too, and then the story never continued

I tried to be happy for finally seeing Kia’s bankai animated but I’m just sad that I can’t escape the hellhole that is B//leach

I adored most of the characters and the story and it got me through tough times as a teen/young adult, but after everything, yeah, I’m not ashamed to say I care for about 4 or 5 characters and their interactions and I don’t want to even watch the anime ever again or have got to do anything with other work by K//ubo. The fandom just makes me sad. Not even mad. Just sad. Like I wasted 8 years of my life liking something I can now only relate to the people who hurt rewriting history and coming of as victims

Idk if some of you have seen those tweets and I’m gonna assume tiktoks, but if you guys are just as tired as I am, I’m here for you

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by the absolutely lovely @staceymcgillicuddy and my wondrous darling @pearlypairings - thank you both! 🥰

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

15, 13 of which are complete and the last two very nearly finished. 😭

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

365,528 and counting. I’m a rambler!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Only Stranger Things… nothing else has grabbed my attention quite the way s4 did.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

With a Little Help From My Friends (my ultra-long found family fic)

Why Should I Cry For You (that one surprised me, it came from way behind!)

Not-so-iron Maiden (Eddie & Max sibling supremacy)

Tattoos and Trash Talk (Eddie and El bonding)

the shield and the shepherd (my very first fic! Eddie and Chrissy falling in love without Vecna in the way)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! I’m absolutely tickled every time somebody likes something I wrote enough that they take the time to leave me a comment about it. I’ve even made a few friends that way!

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably Into the Shining Sun? Even then, it’s angst with a very hopeful note to it. There’s enough angst in my real life; I like everything in my fics to turn out okay.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

So far, With a Little Help, because it ended with Eddie and Chrissy’s wedding!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully, I haven’t. I honestly think it will break my heart if it ever happens. I stumbled completely by accident across a post here on tumblr hating on GreatMage and I literally cried about that for two days. (Shameful!)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope, I live firmly in the fluff zone. All of my fics are rated a very mild T.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Haven’t tried one yet, but maybe someday, if I can think of a good idea!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. How would I even know that? 🤔

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not yet, but @pearlypairings and I have kicked around a few fun ideas and someday we are going to make Clarkelley happen!

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

This is a nearly impossible question.

15. What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I’ve only got two WIPs and they’re both almost done, so— none!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Omg, I don’t even know, honestly. Umm… I guess building friendships and relationships between characters?

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Anything outside of my comfort zone. I have a tiny little box I tend to stay in, and refuse to even try branching out.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

With the help of Google Translate, I’ve scattered some bits of Welsh dialogue here and there throughout Next Time I Fall. Apparently I got most of it wrong. So I don’t think I’ll try any other languages unless I’m actually familiar with them!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Probably X-Files? And then there was that random embarrassing NSYNC stuff… we won’t talk about that. Those were all just scribbled in old journals, though. I never actually posted anything publicly until I found Ao3 last year.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I think each one is my favorite while I’m working on it! But I think I have to say Next Time I Fall, because the response to it was so much more than I expected, and people’s engagement with and investment in the story has given me so much joy.

Randomly tagging @tnmdfhgkg @saltyseagoat83 @sokkas-first-fangirl

~~~~~~~~~~

“Has anyone seen Eddie?” Dustin asked while you, Mike, and Gareth clean up the club room.

“Drug deal.” Gareth stated, throwing a can into the garbage bag.

“Oh? With who?” You chimed in sitting in eddie’s chair.

“Eddie is going to kill you if he finds out you sat in his “throne”.” Mike said with a laugh.

“He’s going to kill us when he finds out we’re making this place look less of a dump after the party the other day. Besides, I’ve sat in “worse” things since I’ve been with him.” You laughed which made the others shake their head.

“Ew. Anyway, with the most popular girl in school.” Gareth mockingly said as he pranced around, making everyone laugh.

“He’s with Chrissy again?! This is like the 3rd time this week!”

You sat there quietly. You couldn’t help but to get a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach.

“If they keep sneaking off the way that they are, rumors are going to start spreading that there’s something going on between the freak and Miss popular.” Mike said, making Dustin look at him, and then look at your zoned out figure.

“But..everyone knows y/n and Eddie are dating.” Dustin said looking at Mike, who shrugged

“That’s not gonna stop people from making rumors. Hell, I’m shocked Jason hasn’t been after Eddie yet. I’m sure people are starting to notice.”

“Y/n, has Eddie said anything about these meet ups after there finished?” You looked at Dustin and shook your head.

“No. Also, the money isn’t adding up with the prices and inventory that’s gone.”

“Well, everyone knows flattery can get you places.” Gareth mockingly said while already mimicking eddies movements.

“Yeah, but that flattery is only a percentage off. Last time I checked, we only had 20 bucks.”

“How much was left?” Mike asked sitting down on the ground.

“A little less than a quarter. We had around an ounce and a half before the day started. 20 bucks isn’t enough for all of that being gone.”

“Sounds like someone is getting freebies.” A voice said coming into the club room which made everyone look.

“Maybe he’s getting a little something something in return.” The voice said again with a laugh.

“Sup freak.” Gareth said tossing the trash bag towards the man. “Do us a favor and take this out before eds gets back from his day job.”

“Guys.” You muttered getting off the chair. “Do you guys mind if I go take a walk? I’ll take the trash out while I’m at it..”

“Sure, do what you need to.” Mike said watching you walk over slowly, grabbing the bag, your face emotionless.

“Y/n, are you ok?” Dustin asked softly as you opened the door. You looked back, and gave them a quick smile.

“Yeah, I’m fine! Don’t worry about me I’ll be back soon don’t start anything without me!”

“We can’t start anything until Munson shows up.” Gareth spoke.

“Do you all really think she’s ok?” Dustin asked slumping up against the wall.

“Probably not. How would you feel if someone is saying that their significant other is getting a little something something while sneaking off with miss cutie popular?” Mike said with a sigh.

“I’d feel awful. Especially if I already had speculations after seeing the income..it would make me feel like others know something I don’t. I should go for a walk too.” Dustin said heading for the door.

“Hey, Dustin!” Mike said standing up and looking at the man. “Don’t interfere with anything that happens. But if the worst happens, be there to comfort her, and bring her back.”

“Yeah. If Eddie does something stupid, we’ll rip him a new one.” Freak chimed in. With that, Dustin left, leaving an awkward silence between the 3 boys that was left.

“So..do you all honestly think Eddie would cheat on y/n?” Gareth mumbled, making the others shrug their shoulders.

“There’s a chance, but he’d be so dumb if he did.” Mike said looking at the ground.

~~~~~~~~~

It didn’t take long for you to find them inside the woods. Once they were in the line of sight, you hid behind a few trees far away from them.

“So, Cunningham, what do you want today?”

“I don’t know..” she said softly making Eddie sigh.

“Did you like the amount I gave you 2 days ago? Do you want more do you want less?”

‘Everyone was overreacting..even me this is just a normal deal.’ You thought until you heard the next conversation.

“Do you have anything..stronger?”

“Other than the stuff I gave you at my house the other day, no. Not right now.”

Your heart broke. ‘He brought her home? Is that why last Friday when the club decided to play out in the woods we couldn’t find Eddie and the cheer squad couldn’t find Chrissy? They were..together?’ You mentally slapped yourself. ‘Stop it y/n! Eddie wouldn’t cheat on you! Of course he doesn’t carry the heavier stuff with him! It’s understandable she was over I’m sure absolutely nothing happened other than a deal.’

“Listen. I don’t mean to mettle in your life but, if you’re this unhappy with Jason, why don’t you break up with him?”

“It’s not that simple Eddie he has a reputation to keep up..plus this year he’s trying to get scholarships me breaking up with him will make him more stressed out-”

“Chrissy!” He yells slamming his hands against the picnic table edge, his face and body only centimeters from hers. “It’s senior year. We’re only a few months away from graduation, you really think that douche bag is stressed out? To me he’s having the time of his life being on top of his fucked up world. He knows he already is getting scholarships, wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t already have some and just isn’t telling you. He’s hanging out with his little posse, bullying freaks like me, and the cherry on top…is that he has a girl. A girl who is prioritizing him over herself. A girl that’s slowly killing herself by taking drugs, instead of just breaking up with his ass.”

The girl was silent, looking into his eyes as he continued.

“Is this really the life you wanted, Chrissy? Do you remember our first drug deal? You were so nervous. I could tell you didn’t want to get caught up in drugs, but you didn’t know of any other way to relax. But here I am: giving you another opportunity to not only feel relaxed, but to feel free. Dump his ass after the game. You’ll feel relaxed and free. After you do that, and you want somewhere to hangout, come to the club room. Well welcome you-”

He pauses, stepping away from Chrissy, and doing his famous extending of his arms he does while playing dnd with everyone before continuing. “You with open arms.”

She girl giggled and walked close to Eddie as he put his arms down, and stood there awkwardly as she stood in front of him. Her eyes never leaving his.

“Eddie. What if I just want to be in your arms?”

Eddie didn’t say a word. He didn’t move, it was like he was in a trance.

“Can I..kiss you?” She asked. Eddie didnt say a word, he only leaned down, until their lips met. Your heart shattered.

“Are you fucking serious?” A quiet voice spoke from behind you. You jumped and turned around.

“Dustin?? What the fuck are you doing here?!” You whisper yelled.

“I wanted to make sure you’re ok but then I got sucked into the drama. I never would have thought Eddie would do that. Fuck him. How are you feeling y/n?”

“I’m upset, I want to cry, I’m angry, I want to punch him, I want to kill both of them”

“I get that. I’m sorry y/n”

“I’m going to confront them-”

“No don’t. Wait until Friday.” Dustin said with a smirk.

“What are you planning?”

“You’ll see.”

“You scare me when you smirk like that.”

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

For 2 days, you acted like nothing happened. For all Eddie knows: you were never in the woods that day, and you never saw him and Chrissy kiss. He never acted out of the ordinary either, which was scary.

It was game day, the club met up in the club room, and started playing. Mike was the one that made you all win that day. As everyone was celebrating, there was soft knocking at the door. You looked at the time, almost 9, the game should be over. Eddie quickly jumped out of his chair and went to the door.

“I did it.” A female voice rang through the room before Chrissy came into eyesight.

“Did you? Congratulations you’re a free girl.” He said as they hugged before he quickly pulled back.

You fought the urge to hide your disgusted face as your stomach filled with anger and disgust.

Dustin cleared his throat, catching everyone’s attention before he spoke.

“I want everyone to get their asses over here.” He emphasized on everyone. Eddie and Chrissy made their ways over to where everyone else was already standing. He looked everyone in the eyes as he grabbed the dice. “If I roll a natural 20…” he pauses for dramatic effect.

“Dustin, what are you-” Dustin put up his hand as a way to silence you before he spoke again.

“If I roll a natural 20, Eddie has to confess to kissing Chrissy 2 days ago in the woods.” He said staring at Eddie as he started to shake the dice in his hand.

You looked at Eddie who had nothing but fear in his eyes. He let out a nervous laugh as he walked behind Dustin.

“Y/n, I don’t know what he’s talking about I’d never do that, he’s just a silly kid.” Eddie said, emphasizing on silly kid as he placed his hands on dustin’s shoulders, and not so gently shaking him as Dustin rolled the dice.

Dustin was praying to everything he knew that he rolled a 20. He wanted to embarrass Eddie in front of everyone in hellfire, and make them all learn the truth about hurting one of his closest friends.

“Did you really cheat on y/n?” Mike said rather harshly which made Eddie let out another nervous laugh.

“I would never. This is all so ridiculous I-”

You let out a soft gasp, which made everyone except Dustin look at you before looking at the dice.

Dustin had rolled a natural 20. The whole room went silent. All eyes were on Eddie.

Dustin let out a soft confident chuckle before turning and walking towards you. Throwing his arm over your shoulder as the two of you looked at Eddie.

“We were in the woods watching you and saw everything go down.” Dustin said as he watched Eddie shake his head no.

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know what you two thought you saw, but nothing happened.”

“Dude dustin’s confessing that they watched you kiss Chrissy. Why even try to deny it now? You’re only digging yourself closer to hell.” Gareth spoke, his arms crossed on top of his chest.

“You’re a fucking bastard.” Mike said walking towards you, shortly after the others followed. They all started pushing you towards the door so they could all escape the now hellhole they used to call a getaway. You broke free from everyone’s grasp, and looked at Eddie who looked heartbroken, and remorseful.

“Oh don’t even look like a puppy that just got kicked. You know. You and that said puppy have a lot in common. You wouldn’t have gotten dumped, if you didn’t kiss her, and that puppy wouldn’t have gotten kicked for pissing in the house when it’s potty trained.”

“Y/n..I-”

“Shut up. I don’t want to hear it from you. How could you? After everything we’ve been through together. I was there for you before anyone else. Before hellfire, before Dustin or anyone else, it was me. I was the one that was by Eddie the freak munson’s side. Eddie I loved and cared for you so much I was willing to end my life for you if anything happened and we were in the upside down. Not anymore. I thought what we had was real and special to both of us. Yet you go and cheat on me with someone who doesn’t care if you’re here now and gone tomorrow? You cheat on me with someone who only likes you because you gave her good attention while her boyfriend treated her like shit? You cheat on me with someone you gave and did a dab with a few times? Eddie she will leave you for the next guy that flashes her a smile, gives her a cute wave, and cracks her a good joke. Yet, I didn’t know a dab connection was stronger than a relationship one.”

“Y/n I’m sorry I don’t like Chrissy, I was just caught up in the moment please y/n believe me I’m sorry. I love you and I care about you-”

“You never cared. I bet I wasn’t even a thought in your mind. Not before you kissed her, and I know damn well I wasn’t a thought in your mind afterwards. If you did you wouldn’t have kissed her. You would have pushed her away and told her about me. I bet you never even brought me up when you were around her. Goodbye, Eddie.”

“Y/n please..don’t go please!!”

Everyone ignored his pleas, and left. Mike and Dustin had their arms around your shoulders as all of you walked.

“You sounded really badass back there.” Mike said, trying to lighten up the mood.

“Even when your voice was cracking.” Dustin said which made you elbow him with a small smile on your face.

“Man, I just went through something painful, and your making fun of me?” You said with a giggle.

“You know I only do it because I love you. Platonically.” You roll your eyes and a few moments of silence goes by before you start talking again.

“So, where are we going exactly?”

“Family video.”

“The one Steve works at?”

“Hell yeah, he hooks us up with free movies.” Mike says with a laugh. “And because you just got your little heart broken, we’ll let you pick the movie tonight.”

“Aww, thank you guys.”

~~~~~~~

By the time you all got there, it was around 10:15. The little bell rang, telling the workers that customers have came in.

“Welcome to family video, we close in 20 minutes just to let you know.” Steve said with his back turned as he sorted through the returned videos that came from the drop box from the day.”

“Can it, harrington.” Dustin said, mockingly saying Steve’s last name which made Steve turn around with a smile on his face.

“Well well well if it isn’t Henderson. Shouldn’t you be at your little club thingy you do? Oh my god it’s y/n! Hey I haven’t seen you in forever, what’s up?”

You went to open your mouth, but Mike cut you off before you could say anything.

“Y/n just got their heart broke, so we’re here to let them pick out a move before we head to their place to watch it. We wanna be there for moral support.”

“Really? Sounds like you’re just trying to get a free movie and watch it.” Steve says with a laugh before looking at you. “So what movie would you like?” He says softly that makes you smile.

“Umm, how about Friday the 13th: Jason Lives”

“Oh shit for real?” He lets out a laugh, that makes everyone look at him confused.

“I really thought you’d say Valhalla, or the mouse detective or something childish like that. Give me a second and I’ll close up this hellhole, and go with you guys to wa- I-I mean help you all with moral support. I’m sorry that you’re going through a breakup y/n even though I don’t remember who you were with.”

“Eddie”

Steve laughed. “Are you serious? You’re heartbroken over Eddie? There’s way bigger fish in the sea I assure you. Now, everyone out besides y/n since they want the movie.”

Everyone did as they were told, and Steve watched before starting to stack all the DVD’s on the shelf.

“I really am sorry about the breakup. I know I didn’t sound like that earlier but I am. I’m sure I know more about a breakup than anyone in this town.” He says with a soft scoff/laugh. “There’s going to be good days and bad days, ya know? But you have a great friend group that’ll be there for you for those bad days. Eddie doesn’t know what he left.”

“Well, Eddie didn’t leave me..he kissed Chrissy.”

Steve stopped dead in his tracks and looked at you.

“Are you fucking serious?! He cheated on you with Chrissy Cunningham?! How does he even know her?!”

“It’s best not to tell how he knows her. I hate what’s happened but I don’t want to ruin her future.”

He nodded, then grabbed the new Jason movie from the “new release” section, handing it to you, then walked back to the front desk.

“So, how about we both forget about our breakups, and tomorrow we go get ice cream together?”

You turn to look at him, a small smirk on your face.

“Steve Harrington, are you asking me out on a date?”

He shrugged, with a smile on his face as he threw on his coat. “Depends on your answer.”

“You know, I had a feeling you had a crush on me. Especially after that big bonfire we all had together not too long ago and I kept seeing you stare at me.”

“Maybe I do have a crush, maybe I don’t. But I don’t want to rush into things, since we both recently got dumped. But a date here and there, and a little flirting never hurt anyone.”

“I’d love to go get ice cream tomorrow steve.”

“Perfect. Let’s get out of this hellhole while we still can. I’ve already been here for 9 hours I don’t wanna make it 10.” He says with a laugh grabbing the keys, before the two of you left and met up with the rest of the gang.

This feels like a weird thing to ask someone but I greatly respect your ability to speak your honest critical opinion (and in such well spoken terms) in an internet atmosphere where you can get crucified for saying anything less than full-throated praise--and that's exactly my issue. I run a small, fandom-oriented Youtube channel and despite knowing that I'm entitled to critical opinions, that I don't even want the attention of delusional reactionaries anyway, etc etc I'm finding it incredibly difficult to share what I really think of some shows + aspects of fandom and shipping. I've become weirdly terrified of saying one perfectly logical thing that does not align with the elaborate fantasy some people have built in their heads and getting canceled/losing the small base of followers I've managed to cobble together. The real nightmare is sharing something harmless like a shipping opinion and having purity culture come for me and call me a p*dophile for absolutely no reason. But at the same time I feel like a spineless coward for letting the toxic side of fandom win by scaring me into silence, especially when one of my goals for the channel from the beginning was to create a place where level headed critical opinion could be shared without fear of gross overreaction and slander. So I guess my questions are: is it as easy for you to speak honestly as it seems? Have you ever flinched before? Is it just about not caring what irrational people think or is there something else to it I'm missing? Sometimes it feels like my fears are valid and sometimes it feels like I just need to grow a backbone and get over it already.

Hey anon,

So I think there is one really big factor here: I am posting anonymously and facelessly and I don’t mind if I alienate people on the basis of an opinion I genuinely hold. If you’re actively trying to build a following and/or if you’ve made yourself identifiable, then I do in fact understand holding back more for reasons of trying to keep that following, or for reasons of personal safety.

But yeah: it’s mostly just that strangers who send anon hate don’t know jack shit about my life or me as a person; they just see an opinion that, as you said, challenges the elaborate fantasy in their head and attack the person who said it. I have, genuinely, been told things that I know for myself to be demonstrably false about my life (not even opinions about me I reject - demonstrably false things) by people who are ultimately just mad that I don’t like their characters or ships. I would obviously feel terrible if a person I knew in real life accused me of something terrible, and I’d still feel bad if it were someone I interacted with online with any sort of regularity, but someone hiding behind complete anonymity? They’re not calling me names because they genuinely think I’m bigoted. They’re calling me names because they are willing to use tools to try to drag me down because they cannot accept I don’t feel the same way they do about a character. They’re like when conservatives claim that denying service to queer people is religious freedom - they are using what appears to be a legitimate appeal to ostensible shared values, but really they’re exploiting the system and people's desire to take things in good faith because they can't stand not getting their way.

The other thing, and I recognize how much I sound like my parents here, is that your bullies are thinking about you more than you think about them. Anyone who sends hate desperately wants you to agree with them. Show them you are not thinking of them.

And finally, some of the hate I’ve gotten has genuinely been about the most anodyne things, which ironically helps because once you realize that no matter how bland an opinion is, some asshole will foam at the mouth about it.  Like, again, I definitely talk plenty of shit about ships or characters or choices I don’t like, but I got some wildly out of pocket shit from people who apparently could not tolerate the completely random example I used to illustrate a fairly uncontroversial and popular opinion re: ship tagging on ao3. And once something like that happens you realize that there’s no point in avoiding the spicier stuff.

I don’t know if this helps, and I recognize that I happen to have a particularly contrarian and not remotely conflict-averse personality. I respect the many people who are not willing to put up with hate and I don’t blame you if you’re one of them; at points in my life I have not been in a place to put up with it and was much less outspoken. But in the end, the thing about people who harass you is that they care so, so much about you agreeing with them, and if you tell them a flat firm no while also making it clear you don’t give a shit if they ever agree with you, they do tend to eventually give up upon realizing how one-sided their obsession is.
