live reaction 3x08 part 1

Starting off strong with some Jetwen and Caswen content okay

Oh no Big Red this is so awkward oh my stars

Ricky hasn’t even read the whole show?? What the heck?? Like, I’ve been trying to give him somewhat of a pass because even though he doesn’t have as much responsibility as EJ, he has some responsibility as the lead, but the fact that he hasn’t even read the show…like I get they only have two weeks to perform it but the least you could do is take the time to read the whole script. This just goes to show how little everyone is doing in comparison to EJ and once again this is not fair at all. Especially since EJ and Ricky are the same age now you can’t even say EJ “deserves” it because he’s older (which is also such a fricked up thing to say in the first place)

Having Emmy (I think that’s her name) sing the beginning of this is real…I have no investment in this child she’s barely been in this season lol. Okay I think it somewhat makes sense but still

Ahh everyone looks so good in their costumes

Oh this is the first time we’ve seen Jet in his costume. I wonder if we’ll get to hear him sing Hans of the Southern Isles. I hope so but like I also hope we get to hear Monster and Dangerous to Dream and so many other songs from the musical, at least clips of them. That’s the thing about having original songs and camp rock songs and high school musical songs in one season; we barely get any from each which is sad. But we’re getting Kristoff’s Lullaby!! I’m excited

“Your boyfriend is adorable” “So’s Madison” oh we all see what’s happening here oh my stars

The funny thing about Channing making them do things differently than how they rehearsed is that’s exactly what Miss Jenn did with Beauty and the Beast

“Elton!!” every time someone calls him Elton I’m living for it

“You sure?” Ricky shut the frick up EJ is the one making everything happen so you’re not allowed to have opinions sorry

Ricky and Jet fist bump stars I wish they could have been explored (I know it was ever going to happen before someone comes at me they’re just a dearly loved crackship okay)

Gina!! The way she’s looking at EJ with so much concern like my heart’s breaking

NINI!!! MY LOVE YOU’RE BACK!!!!!!!

I know Nini has to leave bc Olivia’s leaving but I hate it and it’s sad because it doesn’t really make sense since we already saw her leave then realise her home is with the Wildcats

She’s not going to be at the campfire and it’s going to hurt so much

I really appreciate the “these things don’t go away in a night” comment because in a lot of shows like this they would. They would sing a song or be like wow I was brave! And then their mental health is great when that’s not really how it works

I just wish we got similar attention paid to EJ and his anxiety. The fact that he’s directing the show tonight and we don’t get to see how he’s doing or have conversations with him

Is Big Red about to reveal he’s gay

I LOVE that Kourtney is getting this screen time and actual care given to her story and this anxiety plotline is being handled SO WELL I love this. Kourtney <333333

NOOO Big Red what’s going on I really thought he was about to say “at the pizza shop I met a boy” or something not that his parents met at their age

Ah that was kind of sweet this is sad

Her going in for a hug instead of a kiss. “I’ve never been better” when she means at camp without him is like Nancy saying she was glad Jon wasn’t there

KOURTNEY!! She looks AMAZING AND SHE SOUNDS SO GOOD THIS IS HER MOMENT. Her voice fits this song SO WELL chills

The wildcat fam smiling at her backstage because they’re all like heck yeah that’s our talented sister we love her. Like the growth from season 1 when she had to go onstage last minute to now she’s one of the leads and she’s killing it I love her I love this

Channing you’re funny but go away go away don’t do anything to Kourt’s performance

CHANNING

Kourtney I’m going to cry this is so good the confidence like anyone would be shook by that interruption and by having to sing without music but especially when you’re already fighting your anxiety…I’m so proud of her

Nini proudly watching from the wings same girl

THANK YOU Gina. “Don’t get me started” yes yes yes I love her

Okay Jet he’s really getting into it

THE TRANSFORMATION

Kourtney is an icon okay

Gina and Ash hugging because that’s their sister I love this so much

“If anyone sees Channing, punch him.” I love you Maddox

Ricky’s face when he said “Nini’s here” literally broke me I want to throw up. They have such a strong connection and I was worried the show would just forget that like even just as friends like we’re talking childhood besties who GAVE EACH OTHER THEIR NICKNAMES stop im crying

If we don’t get a ricky and nini goodbye I will RIOT

NINI AND KOURT!! NINI SETTING UP THE ROOM FOR HER SHE’S SO SWEET I LOVE HER

This better not be their last goodbye I am EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE stop it

“We’re glad you came back” me as well

I love Ricky I love him getting pissed at Channing

The stage looks so pretty! KRISTOFF’S LULLABY I’M SO EXCITED AHH

EJ in the background looking depressed as all get out stop

PORTWELL LOOKING AT EACH OTHER ACROSS THE WINGS PLEASE STOP

I freaking love this song you don’t understand and JB is doing it so much justice it’s so good

EJ looking like he’s going to cry because Gina’s what he knows about love. stop it this is not allowed this should be illegal

Val is so pretty!!

He’s going to call his dad isn’t he

Thank you we’re getting someone supporting him and time spent on EJ thank you

My heart is breaking for EJ I fricking hate cash caswell

The break in his voice when he says “I’m proud of you EJ. How hard is that.” And Val’s encouraging nods I can’t I can’t I can’t

CASH CASWELL F*CKING HUNG UP ON HIM I HATE THIS MAN I HATE HIM I HATE HIM

EJ’s going to cry I’m going to cry

EJ has been through so much this season my heart hurts

THAT’S MY ANNA AND ELSA

The snow this moment is so pretty and magical

NO I knew she wouldn’t be there I’m going to cry

The fact that Ricky didn’t get a letter better mean she’s giving him a goodbye in person

NO WHY IS SHE LEAVING without even so much as a goodbye to Ricky

We’re talking best friends since they were babies why why can’t they at least get idk a fricking hug

[transcharliekelly]

the spreadsheet i keep on mac's wardrobe has been fully updated for s15 ! here are some thoughts about his costume this season bc. idk when you do something like this you start thinking about it a lot

- SO many button downs....

out of 14 shirts this season (vaguely on the higher side but still within average) mac wears eleven button-downs- more or less 78% of his shirts. that's the highest number since their introduction in s7, which is their second most popular season with eight of sixteen/50%. i DO have thoughts about this but they're related to my next point so ill get to them in a second

- another point about these button-downs is that there's a lot of colour. the button-downs have never been muted, perse, but they're particularly bright this season, especially using a lot more pink/purple tones & just generally more vibrant shades.

now. my thoughts.

look back a few lines to what I said about s7- the button-downs are introduced in 07.01 (the a-plot of which is about frank loving the woman he loves no matter what """greater society""" thinks, even if the relationship is unconventional, just by the way) when mac and dennis go pick some up after mac's gotten fat between seasons. mac continues to wear them regularly, dennis, done with the desire to break through from the rigid, emotionally + physically straining/painful labour he puts himself through to adhere to what he believes is expected of him that he expresses during the episode, does not.

in season eight, mac has lost the weight he had gained for season seven. he clearly expresses, primarily in 08.05 the gang gets analyzed though also in throwaway moments throughout the season, that he misses his weight (mass, as he calls it). he's lost it because of (likely dangerous) diet pills that he's tricked into taking by dennis. mac looks back on his fatness as a time of freedom and pride for him, clearly viewing the weight loss as (to a degree) having made him a shell of his former self.

two of mac's ten shirts in season eight are button-downs, putting the rate there at exactly 20%, down 30%. from s8-s14, mac wears five button-downs out of ninety-two shirts, for a rate of roughly 0.05%.

I think that if we're talking about mac's self-expression there's a pretty clear line in the sand to be drawn- 08.01 through 12.06, and 12.07 through 14.10. pre-coming out, and afterward. pre-coming out has a rate of three of sixty-six/0.054%, and afterward has two of twenty-six/0.095%. keep in mind that these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt as they only account for shirts worn for the first time, but a) the number of rewears starts to go down a lot in the later seasons so they're not far off, and b) I believe that they do still accurately represent that the quantity of button-downs is low.

so where's mac at during s8-14?

well, pre-coming out it's pretty obvious what the issue is. he's pre-coming out. coming out is something that isn't inherently necessary for happiness as a queer person, of course, but mac is really really actively repressing who he is pre-hohc, and he's fucking miserable about it.

that middle area of the show, around s7/8/9, is where mac starts to be really actively queer-coded. there's this vague gay aura that's always been present in the show (and still is), but it starts to really focus in with mac around this time, and as a result we get more and more of him being this ball of repression wound so tight that he's about to snap. so there's our answer- despite the freedom he feels in s7 when he lets go of what he's been holding himself to (in a sense), he loses that in s8, and the freedom of the button-downs goes with it.

but from 12.07 onwards, it's a bit of a different beast. mac doesn't know how to be gay.

so much of mac's character is about how he's struggling to fit into his identity. I think there's a bit of a disadvantage here because the handling of mac's character (particularly his identity) in s13/14 is just remarkably horrible, but there is a really interesting thing to be pulled from the wreckage there where mac spent what. forty-odd years ? denying who he is and now doesn't know what to do with himself. so he's free from his denial, yes, but he's not free.

so what's changed with s15 ?

I think that he's finally settling into being gay.

his whole thing in s15 is about finding which part of his identity is most "significant", right? which is it's own identity problem, yeah, but he's almost shockingly comfortable with the fact that being gay is part of him. he tosses it around brazenly in conversation, he openly tells a priest (A CATHOLIC PRIEST IN HIS HOME COUNTRY !!) about his various sexual experiences with men & his attraction to the hot priest, he very openly expresses excitement about "a priest like me" when he thinks the priest he's following is gay.

mac hasn't exactly been shy about his sexuality up until this point, but there's always been this edge to it that.... ok like i said i despise what was done with his character in s13/14 and im loathe to give rcg kudos for it, but i think there's a totally reasonable reading of that where he's weaponizing his outward expression/discussion of his sexuality so that he doesn't have to think about the unresolved pain that's still there. mfhip is a significant step re: catharsis/reconciling his hurt, but there's still that last stretch before he gets to where he is in s15.

and so that's what the shirts are. he's back to the freedom of s7- not only are the button-downs in abundance, but they're brighter than ever before. he feels like himself again, except this time it's on the inside.

Please let me know more about this Halloween wip??? 👻😈🎃 catharrington

Hey hey, cat! <3<3<3<3

the halloween wip is something i intended to be a short hc like ‘blablabla what if this happened!’ and ended up becoming 4+k of terrible “unknown source of magic makes them do it” pwp in which, basically:

“On the night of Halloween something happens (demon/witch/magic book/magical experimentation going wrong) and everyone becomes their costume for the night, and Billy & Steve are, how not, stuck together, babysitting the kids "As fucking always, Harrington, because for someone obnoxious reason you've become my own personal curse" "Oh, and you say it like you were a fucking blessing!" walking them around town to trick or treat when it happens.

And this is Hawkins, where apparently has become mandatory now that something strange happens every fucking year, so both the kids and Steve are kind of living in a perpetual state of alert. And that’s the reason why they kind of-- feel it. Feel that something is wrong as slowly, slowly, almost unnoticeably at first, people begin to act weird all around them. Mummies and werewolves and demons and angels and zombies and fairies and rock stars and cats and dinosaurs and every kind of creatures swarming in the halloween night. And soon, ghosts are floating. Terrifying masks look stuck to the faces of their owners. Beasts are howling out of mouths that are not human anymore. And when green and red and snake-like eyes blink at them, looking too goddam real, they know it’s time to look for help. To run”

And OF COURSE Billy and Steve end up alone together, looking for hopper after making the kids safe, but, yk, whatever is happening that we’ll never actually get to know bc this is the most self indulgent kind of pwp is getting to Steve too, changing him into his costume, into,

“He’s begun to feel the hunger.

A fucking vampire.

"We have to hurry" and when Billy looks at him, eyes wild, chest rising and falling, Steve knows he knows.

That he's changing. That Steve's gonna become dangerous. Soon.”

And *DRUMROLL!* things happen:

“And this thing inside of Steve. It's at the verge of taking over.

“We gotta make you safe, now”

“From what?” Billy asks. But he knows. And his eyes.

His eyes.

“From me, Billy”

But Billy–

Grins. His upper lip goes up. Bares his teeth. Huffs a laugh that sounds hoarse.

And maybe Steve has been––

“This is serious. I don’t wanna fucking eat you”

Billy. Slides close. Tongue digging into the sharp edge of a canine. Head tilted. Steve’s brand new instincts kick. He’s a prey now. He’s being hunted.

“Billy?”

But Billy. He looks– rapt. Reaches out. Hand cupping Steve’s face. Thumb pressing on his upper lip, rubbing at the tender flesh under the bow, saying “No, Harrington. No” running his pad downwards along the corner of his mouth and, pulling his bottom lip down, building an expectant, anticipating kind of feeling. A hook. Between the two of them “You’ve been eating me for a long time now”

The way he's looking at him— Steve wants to follow him through the darkest of paths, make an offering out of his freedom.

“What––“

Billy’s fingertips trace the shape of his jawbone and Steve backs down. Puts some space between himself and the way Billy’s staring at his lips, getting to a sudden halt when his calves hit the edge of the couch.

“Billy. What do you mean. Billy, what's happening?"

–— blind. He realizes. Steve has been so blind.

Because Billys is wrong too. Wrong. Can see it now. Eyes of an unnatural blue. Liquid. Silver-plated.

And it’s—

Sharp. Fast. The way Billy moves. Lays his palm flat over Steve's chest. Knocks the air out Steve’s lungs with the barest of touches. Because it's way he’s looking at him, what slams Steve into the couch. Breathless when Billy follows, climbs in onto his lap and,

Appetite, Steve thinks, recognizes. Appetite in the way his lashes fall, flutter, his lips part. Apettite, in the way his breath stutters.

"Steve"

He bends forward. One hand on the back of the couch. All his weight on him, caging him. Thighs clutching at his hipbones. And Steve feels them as his head hits the headrest, Billy’s knuckles, running up the shape up his throat, guiding his head up. And he feels so thirsty. Layed down on the desert. Skinned by the sun. Nailed down under his one weakness.

The one that could burn him down into ashes if Steve gets too close.

And they're close now. Close as they've never been before.

Billy's voice has the touch of velvet when he speaks. Smooth. Sleek.

"You're my fucking curse. I told you"

BUT and this is the plot twist i didn’t realize i blatantly revealed in the working title 🤦🏽‍♂️,billy isn’t dressed up for halloween so so-- he should be ok, right? R i g h t?:

“Fuck” Billy pants, nails carving half-moons on the muscle of Steve’s shoulder blades “Holy fuck”

“Hey, can you––?“

“I was a fucking joke!” Billy cuts him off, sounding like he’s wired-up, out of breath, as if he’s feeling it too. How strong it is. This craving. To lean forward again, let himself fall back into the slide of their mouths, to wrap his body around Steve and just–– give in to whatever is doing this to them. As if he feels exactly how Steve feels “I had forgotten about it but”

“What do you mean?”

“Fuck–I. Fuck!”

Billy runs his hands over his hair. His breath, when it comes out, lets his whole body trembling, hips stuttering forwards like he’s trying, but can’t. Help it. As if he needs their bodies to touch.

“Billy,” Steve says, soothing. Touches his face and Billy jolts, chest heaving up, electricity at the contact “I need you to talk to me”

Billy presses his lips together. Nods. Steve has never seen him like this. Like he’s out of cover. Nowhere to run.

“It’s like. What I felt before but it's. I could control it, Steve. But now it's pulling. It's maddening and I" His voice has lowered to the volume of a plea and he closes his eyes as if it is too much, as if whatever is happening to him is growing as fast as Steve's thirst. Becoming as unbearable. Steve runs his thumb over Billy’s cheekbone and Billy whimpers a low, lewd thing. Leans into the touch and rubs his cheek on it. Sighs like it’s such a relief. Such a relief. And then he’s. Opening his mouth and sucking at the Steve’s palm, sloppy and obscene, and Steve’s cock is weeping inside his pants head bumping against the hard leather of his belt, brushing minutely with every short breath. Doesn’t remember wanting anything like he wants this. Slide his fingers into the wet heat of Billy’s mouth. Watch, as he sucks them in.

"Hey. Easy. Easy. C’mon Billy c’monc’mon you can tell me"

But Billy is barely listening to him, panting against the heel of his palm, almost gone again.

"I wanted. God, I wanted to––” chokes off a sob. His hands wander up into the strands of Steve’s hair. Tangle in there “But wouldn’t have. Steve, I would never have. I’m so fucking scared you would––”

Steve takes his wrists. Soft. Careful. Tugs him towards him. Billy’s eyes snap open, lashes fluttering like pulled right out of a dream, and he’s so beautiful, so breathtakingly beautiful like this, straddling Steve’s lap, lips plump and swollen because of him, tears welling up and barely contained, gleaming like moonlight in clear a sky after a storm.

“Billy, please. I need you to tell me––“

“The costume” he breathes out, not as much a word, as a whisper. The blue of his eyes science fiction and impossible.

And Steve– he doesn’t understand. It can’t be, because Billy,

“But there’s no costume. You’re not in disguise”

“One of your minions,” he says and Steve feels the ridiculous impulse of protest, as if this is just the two of them going on about their shit as they always do, and not both of them tangled into the other, bodies shivering with the need to touch “When you came to pick us up. Dustin saw me like this and made a joke. Told him the first dumb thing that came into mind and–”

He trails off, his cheeks flush, a violent shade of red, lowers his face as if he’s so ashamed, and Steve has to press his lips together, fangs rasping at the delicate flesh inside.

And it’s not just the blood what’s making him hungry, when his fingers move down to Billy’s chin, lifts his face up. He wants to find out what the tears in his eyes taste like. Wants to relish in him. Find a way under his clothes and––

“Tell me”

“I was just joking”

––make him his. All his. And Nonono.

“Billy. What are you?”

“An incubus”

Andddd, that's TMI i know. Hopefully I'll finish it for next Halloween *crosses all fingers* bc I had such a good time writing it and isn't that far from being complete and, adashuhdsahd, I just LOVE the "x makes them do it" kind of fics but I think this was my first actual try at one?

Thank you so much for the ask, bb🖤🖤. It's so good to revisit these fics. I don't have that much time to write so I keep on losing impulse. But this is helping me remember there are things I'm excited to finish.

thoughts on dumbledore? Or the fantastic beasts premise in general

I'll be honest I saw the first Fantastic Beasts movie bc it seemed exciting and friends were there to see it with me, decided not to see the second I don't even know if JKR was out as a dangerous transphobe at the time I think it was because of Johnny Depp that I decided not to and promptly felt incredibly vindicated when everyone said it was terrible and character assassination from the first movie and not even worth torrent, and has there even been a third I genuinely have no idea bc these days I try to stay as far away from JKR properties again just bc, like. not interested in giving her money or contributing to conversations that will lead others to give her money. So "premise" is probably the best I can do for you.

Going on a tangent that I promise will make sense a paragraph down: I worked for nearly a decade during summers at gay theater camp AKA larp camp (the Wayfinder Experience) that is the best way to larp because games were one-time things with new entire world backgrounds and characters and game mechanics invented for each week of camp sets and costumes made anew each week by production that would culminate in said single 4-5 hour game that really and truly was like being in a novel where you were the main character, we were all living our best lives. One of these games was called The Golden Blade, written by my friend Jay Dragon who has gone on to become a genius indie ttrpg designer, bUT ANYWAYS. the concept of The Golden Blade was there was this tournament for adventuring parties of five-ish typical adventuring party members every year with a huge reward and said tournament had a lot of rules but mostly consisted of going around this big arena and fighting monsters and claiming flags, this also was Fantasy Sports like football but 1000x more popular for the fantasy continent we were on but decidedly a Sports Team Mood, campers were cast as members of these adventuring teams, the referees, and a bunch of rich spectators who had bought tickets to the tournament and also all had their own plotlines going. The game was set up as such: there were three rounds of the tournament where I guess flags and monsters were reset in between?, the first round went completely normal, the second round shit started to go down, and the third round was discarded because it had been revealed that there were a whole bunch of supernatural creatures/ gods who were all trying to control this sword that could cause the end of the universe and do a lot of other things, it was super dramatic, I played said universe's equivalent of the Archangel Michael and one of the kids was a Joan-of-Arc type prophet and I think I might have convinced them to end the world this was a long time ago. BUT ANYWAYS.

The Golden Blade was arguably the most popular game of that summer, it was a huge hit. And that's saying a lot, there were a bunch of really good games that summer.

The single criticism that was leveled against The Golden Blade by anyone ever, was that the tournament was really freaking cool and they really didn't need any other epic plotline and while what happened was great and everyone loved game, they would have been equally happy to have just...played the full tournament, no dramatic world-ending twists, just take what was a really cool setup for something really interesting in and of itself and play it straight.

Now you see where I'm going re Fantastic Beasts?

From what I remember of the first movie it was pretty good because it was mostly about running around after some crazy fantastic magical beasts, and the single criticism was "it really didn't have to be anything fancier than that, no need for a bigger plotline, honestly we would have been completely chill with almost a nature documentary about these beasts." From what I've heard about the second movie, they, like... go into the Wizarding War? and the plot is all about said Big Dramatic War? and, like.... where is the fun cute lighthearted we kind of were all just here for found family and adorable magical animals and zany adventures chasing them down and helping save them, we didn't sign up for Plot to happen, we didn't need Plot to happen at all, now that you're making Plot happen this isn't something that I want to be watching at all.

I feel like "thoughts on Dumbledore" is therefore going to be, like. Not something that I can answer at least in the context of Fantastic Beasts. given that I saw the first movie, once, when it first came out, and wasn't he in there and played by Jude Law or something for all of literally five minutes? in which case my thoughts on that Dumbledore is "Jude Law seems like a pretty cool actor." thoughts on Dumbledore generally as a character concept is that I do very much love the concept of "utterly and horrifyingly ice cold master manipulator leading the team of good guys that everyone thinks is a total sweetheart but in reality has been worn down so much by the horrors that they've seen that at this point they're completely and utterly down with sacrificing children for the greater good" and the philosophical concept of "okay you're one of the good guys, do you let this happen because you need this person to win the war, or is this unacceptable and how do you deal with/potentially react to the collateral damage of morals causing more horrific destruction than if you'd let the master manipulator stay leading." I have a variation on that trope in one of the many original works that I'm writing of considering time loops and a character group that is in theory trying to save the world from complete world-ending apocalypse but in practice after being through 300+ time loops have gotten incredibly cavalier about certain things because they're all just so fucking tired and have seen every single possible way for this to go wrong so by the time it comes to "yeah sure murder these 1000 children because they unfortunately stumbled upon information that if it makes its way back to this country in particular will lead to a weapon of mass destruction being deployed that cracks the entire planet like an egg, and we don't have enough resources to actually make sure all 1000 of these children never speak to anyone ever of what they saw because there are like five different apocalypses that we're trying to stop at once, so oops if we missed our window to stop them guess it's on the checklist to murder them all" and have done it so many times at that point that it doesn't even strike them as something to be upset about, it's just another box on the checklist. like. I call that group and especially their leaders a Dumbledore-type character and that is fascinating to me but at this point we're more into fandom and cultural impact of Dumbledore than Dumbledore himself, I don't know if I care enough about HP and its extended universe to have any further opinions about Dumbledore himself.

#writing #asks #sorry anon if this is super unsatisfying #I haven't thought about the HP world in years and probably will continue to not think about it for years after this #oh the leader of my time loopers is also gay #but I'm pretty sure literally everyone in that book is gay #I don't even remember if they confirm Dumbledore to be gay in FB #if so I wish him his best gay life #unless he has to date Johnny Depp #in which case rip I'm very sorry

oh i like 16 for the kiss meme bc aziraphale does the nose scrunchie things

when one person’s face is scrunched up, and the other one kisses their lips/nose/forehead

[inspired by this wonderful art by @cliopadra except it’s set in the present]

“I can’t believe you talked me into this,” Aziraphale had said. 

“You never do,” Crowley had answered.

“Whatever should I wear?”

“Surprise me.” 

And surprise him he did.

;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;

The place was packed. Crowley shook hands and exchanged nods and felt very much good in his costume, exactly for the fact that he was not. A demon, dressing up as an angel. Was there greater sacrilege? He grinned.

Better yet: a demon dressing up as the human idea of an angel, so very much not up-to-date with angelic fashion–which was ironic, since the angels also failed at keeping up with human trends. Both sides losers, in the end. In his white robes and flashing-LED-plastic-halo, the devilish grin on Crowley’s face looked slightly misplaced. Gabriel would hate this, which was exactly why he loved it a whole damn lot. He knew which side had truly won, and it was his*.

*His, of course, not extending far beyond himself–one angel excluded. 

Thinking of–where was Aziraphale?

He looked around, impatient. He had still not spotted his angel, poor Crowley, so very impatient to see the scandalized look on Aziraphale’s face as soon as he’d lay eyes on his costume. 

So very unprepared was Crowley for the possibility that Aziraphale might be the one to create the greater scandal that he did suddenly not know what to do with himself when he did, at last, find the angel.

Worst thing was: he had not even realized it was him. He’d been drawn to the costume, because–well, because he was just enough of a narcissist to be a demon. People dressing up as snakes immediately fell into his favour, and would receive a slightly less demonic misfortune than the other guests. (There was one fool who had accidentally dared to dress up as an angel also–he’d received a whole plate of canapées. Into his face. Followed by a tray of glasses filled to the brim with red wine. He’d left hurriedly, looking like an angel slain, and Crowley had watched pleasedly.)

Only one person he had expected to possibly show up as another angel (because his angel tended to be predictable like that), and the reality was so far from it that Crowley would have felt betrayed, had he not felt so very… very… flattered. Dumbstruck. (And in love.)

“Aziraphale?” His voice was a pitch higher than he would have liked, a little thinner, a little weaker. The snake, who was Aziraphale, beamed at the sound of his voice, turned his head, and gasped.

Here it was, the effect Crowley had anticipated the whole evening, and now it fell flat despite its glory. His mind was elsewhere, and it repeated like a broken record: Aziraphale. A snake.

Aziraphale, a snake. Azirapha–

“Wily serpent,” Aziraphaele scolded, and it took Crowley a second to register that he was referring to his angel costume, and then it took Aziraphale another second to get the irony of it all, too. “Oh. Well, in this case, I assume, I would be the wily serpent.”

He smiled, embarrassed, and Crowley wanted to be hit by a tray of canapées then and there, anything, anything to kill in him the urge to snog the angel senseless. 

“Nice costume,” he breathed, and watched the angel snatch a canapée off a tray that was indeed passing by dangerously close to their heads. Such a tiny miracle, for the waiter to slip… Almost. He considered it. 

Because Aziraphale was giving him The Eye: the sort of sweeping toe-to-head look that made it very clear he was judging Crowley’s life choices. The look that typically made the demon’s skin bristle with indignation, as if the angel had any authority to judge his style, looking the way he did–no matter how many times he called it standards. (Today, as an exception to the golden rule, Crowley guessed he deserved it.)

“Can’t return the compliment,” Aziraphale indeed quipped a heartbeat later, and Crowley’s grin was full of pain, and would have given little children trouble sleeping. 

“Gee, thanks. Have you considered that your costume might actually really underline your personality? Love it.”

Aziraphale’s sly expression fell. “Crowley! No need to be so, so… not nice!”   

“Nevermind, I take it all back.” Oh, he was having fun. Aziraphale looked like a child that was being sent to bed against their will. Except, he also looked like a snake. And, wait, was that–

“Is that an apple?!” Crowley gaped, and wheezed. 

It was true: The snake winding around Aziraphale was indeed opening its jaw to enclose around a red fruit, just over the angel’s shoulder. This was it; this took the proverbial apple cake. 

“Why,” Crowley spluttered, “Why did you do it?”

Aziraphale cocked his head, indulging another canapée. (They kept coming, now simply materializing in his hand, him not even bothering to have the waiter circle him any longer.) 

“The costume?”

Crowley assented. 

“Well… It wasn’t all bad, was it?” Aziraphale scrunched up his nose, trying to take the weight off his concession, and the emotions to go with it. “The snake. I mean. Knowledge isn’t bad… is it.”

Crowley looked at the angel, face slipping. Would he have ever dared to say things like this, with such levity, as he did now? With the same flabbergasted expression still stuck on his face, Crowley slowly leaned forward, and touched his lips to the angel’s forehead, lightly. When he pulled back Aziraphale gave him a small, sly smile, which made something in Crowley evaporate in the same way a horseshoe might evaporate a hellhound’s fury. The beast inside him, barely conscious anymore, closed its eyes. It wasn’t much of a beast to begin with, a fact he thought he was maybe finally able to (sometimes, just a little bit) acknowledge–just as Aziraphale was finally allowing himself to be loved by a demon, and to love him back freely. 

Crowley’s smile, when it came, was warm.

And then triumphant.

“Now you’re asking the right questions, angel.”

BEN/RONAN

halloween shippy // ACCEPTING // @henrietas

choses the pumpkin: ronan shows off all his best pumpkins to ben so he can choose one. they’re gay pumpkins bc they come from ronan’s gay farm :D

carves the pumpkin: they do it together because it’s cute and they both end up covered in pumpkin guts and making out.

gets scared and clings the other in a haunted house: ronan tries to scare the actors. ben is like “oh, did u see that crazy butcher? he did such a good job” or “i really loved the spooky clown, she wasn’t shy about really getting in your face.” 

matching costume idea: ben suggests they go as......................bEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!! (he 100% wears a pretty dress)(ronan is already a furry so it’s ok)

makes a cozy bed-fort to cuddle in: ben usually makes one around ronan while he’s asleep. one time, ronan brought some really dangerous thing from the dream, like a living flame or something, and they almost died.

accidentally gets lost in a corn maze: ben. always ben. this boy gets lost in his own room.

tells spooky stories to scare the other: ronan!! ben thinks he’s incredibly creative, but also pretends to be too scared to be alone so he can creep into ronan’s bed.

Cam’s Voltron Fic Rec 3/∞

VLD Rec Lists:  [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Here’s a Fic Masterlist for my other fandoms. ( ** =  favorites )

    **Recoil/Release by Cheshyr

Word count:  22,387 (13/13)

Summary:  When Keith is bitten by an alien creature with venom that causes your dominant emotions to be amplified, the team is ready for a day of dealing with an incredibly angry paladin.

Which means they’re not ready at all for what actually happens.

Comments:  The almost stream-of-consciousness writing of Keith’s parts are really gut-wrenching because it’s as if you are experiencing it with him. (Warning for panic attacks- if you are triggered at all by that sort of thing you may want to sit this one out, it gets pretty graphic). A couple good song pairings for this fic to set the tone are Broken Crown and World Gone Mad.

    **Synergy by Kokochan & Spanch

Word count:  74,064 (10/10) 

Summary:  The vines were large, stiff, gnarly, and thick-stemmed, with blue leaves as big and round as dinner plates, but Shiro’s battle-arm was able to sever several long straggles with ease. The vines draped easily enough over the shuttle and hid it quite handily from view. “Good enough, I suppose,” Shiro said, glaring at the empty greenish-blue sky. “Come on, let’s… Hunk? What’s the matter?”

Hunk was staring at something behind him. “Shiro, don’t make any sudden moves just now, but there’s a really big lizard thing standing right behind you. Um. Two of them.”

Surprised, Shiro turned, albeit carefully. He’d never even heard them approach. That was rather impressive, considering the size of the beasts. It was as though someone had taken a pair of Arizonan horned lizards and rebuilt them more on the lines of a tiger without leaving out any of the spikes, then expanded them to about the size of an Indian elephant and added six large, intelligent blue eyes. Understandably, Shiro froze in place.

Comments: OH. MY. GOSH. OK. SO. This bad boy is Part 1 of 3, so far, with a total series word count of 241,404 at the moment. This beautiful titan of a series is named Of The Pack, and it updates with great speed, considering it has two top tier authors working on it. The several OCs in this story are so lifelike and realistic and fit so well into the universe that I forget that they aren’t actually canon and I kind of miss them when I’m reading other Voltron fics. My favorite part is the world-building it does. Everything about this fic is so dynamic and multi-dimensional, from it’s characters to the epic plot - this is the exact opposite of lazy writing. I am so here for badass Pidge, and the matriarchal Galra culture and the dragons. I👏LOVE👏THIS👏FIC👏

Also there’s magic! (with a scientific explanation, of course)

A cool song that I think goes nice with this fic is Heroes by Måns Zelmerlöw.

  The Kids Are Alright by pugglemuggle

Word count:  10,430 (3/3)

Summary:   Three Garrison Cadets Missing After Freak Satellite Crash

By Mara Garrett, News Editor | The Guardian | Monday, June 13, 2103 7:40 A.M. ET

Two seventeen-year-olds and a fifteen-year-old went missing Friday night after a rogue satellite crashed into the desert a few miles away from the Galaxy Garrison Training Facility, reports say. Garrison officials were quick to cordon off the area, claiming many of the remaining satellite fragments were dangerous and unstable. Government search parties have been sent out into the surrounding desert areas. Details are forthcoming.

—

Her brother is missing. Lance’s sister isn’t about to sit quietly while the Garrison keeps lying to the press. No—she’s going to get to the bottom of this.

(Or: The paladins’ families team up to find their kids and overthrow the corrupt Garrison regime. Told through news articles, prose, the internet, and art.)

Comments:  The format of this is very intriguing and fresh. We get to see scenes of our favorite paladins through the eyes of their friends and families, from before they disappeared and the aftermath. The open ending is still satisfying and leaves you with a sense of determination and hope for these characters that you just couldn’t help but get attached to. If you’re big on government conspiracies then this is the fic for you!

  **Patty Cake by Froldgapp

Word count:  7,829 (6/6)

Summary:  Quiet, aloof, and alone, Keith is distant from the rest of the team. Hunk begins to suspect why, and it’s only when the red paladin pushes himself too far, the Voltron gang realise he’s just as vulnerable as the rest of them.

Comments:  Aaaaahhh this fic. Something about this one has me coming back to reread it all the time even though I always cry. It is just so angsty but in a more poignant, sharp, breathless kind of way. Some of the things the characters say send painful stinging jolts into your chest and you can feel your heart cracking and then you get angry because how dare (I mean ch4 tho holy sh*t). I just want to hug Keith so much ugh. Hunk’s protectiveness of Keith gives me the strength to finish this masterpiece every time. Also, this can kind of be Sheith if you squint (or not, if you don’t).

  The Message by Shipstiel

Word count:  132,787 (45/45)

Summary:  (4:07) okay, but considr this, and hear me out here (4:08) so like, a photobooth u can do with ur pets like there’ll be lil costumes that u can dress them up in, and u can do liek, period costumes and shit with them (4:09) omg, can u imagine, u and ur cat/dog, and theyre in a lil 1800s dress and one of those lace umbrella things omg so cute

(4:15) Why the FUCK are you texting me at four in the morning with this

— 

Keith is texted by accident by some idiot one day, and honestly he’s not even sure why he responds. Or why he keeps responding. Yet somehow he finds himself drawn in, and okay, so maybe this fool is mildly entertaining after all. Who would’ve thought.

Comments:  Slowburn Klance Wrong Number AU. These two are so cute I just can’t. This is the perfect story if you are looking for something effortless and relaxing to read. Even though this contains some softcore Langst, it is still a very cute and heartwarming story about two dorks slowly falling in love. It features Lance’s mother who I fell in love with here, and the kind of supportive nosy best friends that everyone wants in real life (i.e. Hunk, Pidge, and Allura).

  **The Quiet by MilkTeaMiku

Word count:  66,700 (32/32)

Summary:  Does he not realize he’s dead?

Keith can see ghosts. As a part of his Garrison training, he’s sent to a hospital to do one year of medical clerkship - it’s there that he meets a charmingly irritating chose who definitely needs to learn what boundaries are.

Comments:  Modern Ghost AU with eventual Klance. This fic is the most suspenseful story I have ever read in my life. Idk if it’s just me, but I just have this feeling building up paragraph by paragraph of an impending… something. And it has my heart racing which is crazy because it isn’t even particularly fast-paced. There’s just a heaviness to the words that have the hairs on the back of your neck prickling. I literally have to take a breather from reading sometimes to calm down. 

A couple cool songs I think set the mood for this fic is Smother and Mirror.

  Finding Home by spacegaykogane

Word count:  26,966 (6/6)

Summary:  After the wormhole collapses, Keith finds himself stranded on a strange planet. Alone. Until Lance comes along. With their lions dead and resources limited, Keith and Lance need to put aside their differences and work together to get home. Wherever that may be, now.

Comments:  Klance. I love Stranded fics where they have to work together to survive and bond over that. So yeah this one has some whump obviously, bc you know, crash landings aren’t very fun. This one is angsty but its balanced out by the fluffiness in the end.

  Cuddle Puddle by nothingwrongwiththerain

Word count:  46,782 (6/6)

Summary:  Unexpectedly, Shiro’s hand landed on the top of his head. Apparently with Lance and Hunk taking up all the shoulder real estate, Shiro would settle for ruffling Keith’s hair.

Keith was fairly certain his soul was about to detach and abandon his shaking body on the couch. He was surrounded, in the complete and total sense of the word, by other people. Not once before, not in his whole life, had he dealt with a situation like this one.

Or, five times Keith found himself too close for comfort and one time he couldn't get close enough.

Comments:  Klance featuring ace!Keith. Don’t be fooled by the fluffy summary, this is a very angsty fic with lots of Keith whump. Basically, as stated by the author, this story is about ‘Keith struggling with physical contact and learning to accept people care about him’. I love touch-starved Keith stories, like this one. I love the scenes with Kidge bros, featuring a super supportive Pidge. 

  At the Beginning by Sakuraiai

Word count:  64,203 (12/12)

Summary:  Inspired by Anastasia

King Zarkon of the Galra empire lost his only way in to the Kingdom of Altea. In his anger, he put a curse on the royal family. The young, adopted half Galran prince Keith disappeared when the palace was overrun, never to be seen again -- or so it seemed. The only surviving princess, Allura, grieving for her child, offers a reward for Keith's safe return.

Con artists, Lance and his best friend, Hunk plan to pawn off a phony to the princess, hoping to reap the rewards. They hold auditions and choose an orphan man who has a remarkable resemblance to the missing prince -- all the way down to his fluffy Galran ears.

Comments:  Can anyone say Anastasia AU?! I waited with baited breath for each chapter to come out and I was not once disappointed. I love the integration of the different alien races in this timeless story, it all works out so well. Keith just wants to find his mommy and I just want to cry. Also Kidge bros are still my fav as always.

  out of orbit by rbillustration

Word count:  78,135 (19/19)

Summary:  Dragged apart by Haggar’s attack on the wormhole, the paladins and Alteans struggle to survive and find one another again. Luck has placed them all within the same galaxy… but their fortune ends there. Lance is stranded with a badly-injured Shiro and his relief at finding their leader still accompanying him soon turns to terror. Keith may be the only who can rectify the situation - but the Galra have him in their grasp, and they don’t want to kill him. They want him as one of their own.

Comments:  ANGST. SO MUCH ANGST. A brainwashed Galra!Keith plus a Possessed!Shiro. This is the perfect recipe for disaster if I ever saw one. If lots of blood bothers you proceed with caution. I love stranded fics.

A good song rec for this one is Darkside.

Making a Deal.

Okay, so I'm attempting a story involving Pennywise and my oc, who is also an alien just a different species from him. (There won't be smut, BC I'm sure I'd suck at writing that) but depending on the feedback I plan to add a couple more chapters. This is sorta a slow build with eventual fluff between the two. This is my first time writing Pennywise so I hope it turns out alright...

The loud screeching of tires filled her ears as she ran as fast as her legs would allow her to go in her current form. She spotted an opening under the rusted fence that bordered the road and swerved, sliding through it. She let out a slight whine as part of the sharp barbed wire cut into her right shoulder, but quickly continued deeper into the woods. She could hear the doors of a car shutting and voices yelling behind her as she clutched a canvas grocery bag between her jaws tightly. Her lungs burned for more air and her heart felt as though it was about to give out it was beating so fast, but she couldn’t stop running yet. Her paws splashed along the weak stream of water that lead to the entrance of a few of the towns storm drains, she froze for a moment, her ears listening for even the slightest sound of a stick snapping under foot. Met with silence she dropped the bag and lapped up a few gulps of water.

“It ran toward the drains, c’mon before we lose it!!” a loud voice screamed from only a couple yards behind her. With in a second she had collected the bag and sprinted further down the stream. Every slippery step made her curse this form more, as she struggled to grip the slime covered rocks with her claws. Reaching the first of three drain openings, she ducked inside and disappeared into the dark tunnel. Dropping the now soaked bag on the damp drain floor, she very quietly crept back to where she had entered and watched the four figures that had been chasing her. They all appeared to be young, around seventeen, and very pissed at the fact they had lost sight of her. “fucking coyotes.. We’ll never find it now, let’s go, it’s bound to show up again in town.” One snapped as they headed back up to the road.

Sighing with relief she went back to what had caused the whole situation. Shoving her snout in the bag she breathed in deep the smell of the rack of beef ribs wrapped in paper. Her stomach growled with aching hunger, and she was all but foaming at the mouth for a taste. Looking around at the murky grey water that trickled along the drain she growled and scooped the bag up once again in her teeth and continued further into the blackness.

Finding a decently dry spot to eat and rest was proving to be almost impossible. Her muscles burned and she was exhausted, but she kept going deeper and deeper, following the twists of the pipe. Regret hit her again with the intense mix of scents she was experiencing. Stench of mold, decay, and hints of human smells flooded her sensitive nose as she neared the end of pipe that lead to a vast chamber. Pausing before stepping out completely and placing her bag on the semi dry floor, she cautiously sniffed the stale air.

It was difficult to pick apart each smell, but it reeked of human the most. Each slow step brought her closer to a huge pile of stacked various objects. The human scent the strongest around it, but now she also got hints of fear and she froze as her eyes climbed to the top of the monstrous collection. Floating around she saw many human bodies slowly moving around it. Her animal instincts pushing in the back of her mind telling her she shouldn’t be here, that danger was coming. The adrenaline starting to pump through her body again as she scampered back for her bag of food. Halfway across her ears pricked when she heard loud slashing coming from one of the pipes. Ducking behind a few busted bikes, she flattened herself to the floor and eyed the opening, watching.

A tall figure emerged from the shadows, each step echoed off the walls. It suddenly stopped and looked around, walking a few more feet into the little light that came from above. It Bent down and examined her abandoned bag with great intrest, before dropping it and glancing around. “oh my, oh my… it seems something else has chosen these sewers to dine in..” It sounded human and what she could tell from the light, resembled a clown of sorts, with pale make-up, orange hair, and a costume with bells. It slinked about with little sound, it’s now yellow eyes scanning for any movement. “come out come out… I know you’re still here…. I can SMELL YOU..” A quick glance to him then back to the bag gave her the motive she needed to move. Darting out she barely made it four feet before colliding with what felt like a wall. Blinking she found herself against the stone wall, pain radiating across her side. “My.. My.. What’s this? A little lost creature wondered down here?” He taunted. Curling her lips and revealing her long sharp canines she let out a low growl. “tsk tsk.. Those are nice, but let me show you mine..” The clown growled back flashing her his own mouthful of jagged razor like teeth. Drawing back to lunge at him, she was snatched by the neck and held up by her throat as he twisted his mouth to a fanged smile. “look at you.. Pathetic excuse for a predator..” She continued to snarl and snap, but her head throbbed with pain from how hard of a grip was on her neck constricting her air.

Pulling her to mere inches from his face he opened his mouth to speak but stopped and instead took in a deep breath. The beast in his hand has stopped growling and instead just looked at him, eyes wide but he smelt no fear. Sniffing the air again he released his grip and she fell to the ground. “You aren’t a beast.. There’s something… something else I smell on you.. Different from anything I’ve encountered before on this planet..” he said as he watched the coyote cough and gag while trying to catch it’s breath. She shot him a look before the sound of cracking bones filled the room. Slowly the fur went away and in place of the soggy animal was a human woman with messy dark hair and a long slender built frame, still clutching at her throat. The clown seemed confused and intrigued by what had happened. “What are you exactly?” he asked as he croutched to eye level with her.

“No… not a beast nor a human, I’m something similar to you. I can smell you aren’t human either, so why don’t you explain too?” her voice was soft but scratchy either from non use or being strangled. “You came into my home, and I asked first, so explain while I’m giving you the chance.” The seriousness of his voice left no room for a debate. “I’m from beyond this planet, got here long before the inhabitants now. To clear it up I was being chased and by accident I found this… uh lovely.. Place..” She explained dryly. His glowing eyes stayed fixed on her, as he processed what was said, had he not seen it happen he’d have killed her without a second thought. “Well? What about you? I could tell you weren’t human the instant you tried choking me.” She asked while combing her fingers through her long dirty strands. “I happen to be an eldritch being, and I’ve been here much longer then any other. I’m curious as to why you still fought against me even though you claimed to know I was something else.” The glint of wonder obvious in his bright eyes. “when I’m in full animal form, the instincts can kick in, and it takes a few minutes to bring them down.” She replied with a small shrug. The clown tapped his gloved index finger on his drool covered chin, thinking as he stared at her.

A chilling smile played it’s way across his painted lips and he quickly hopped up with excitement. “I’ve got an offer for you, in exchange for living here and me not killing you, why not stay here with me for awhile? I’m only awake for a year then I sleep for twenty-seven. So after the year if you wish you can leave.” She looked around the cold dark room then back up to him. “and if I decline? I die? What’s stopping me from just leaving now? Besides sewers aren’t my ideal home, I’ve lived in some dark ones but I’ll pass on this one.” She watched his smile break into a frown as he huffed and lowered himself back to her level. “you need protection, food, and a place to stay…. I can give you all that, and in return all I need from you is the occasional help luring my.. Prey.. To me. So do we have a deal?” She rubbed her temple, before nodding. “fine, but I need at least a dry place to eat my food and sleep.” The smile returned to his face as he stood and extended her his large hand. “well then I’m Pennywise, Pennywise the dancing clown.. And your name is… ?” Reaching up she accepted his gesture and stood, revealing her height to be taller then Pennywise had expected. “I’m Ari.. So.. Pennywise, I’m starving and freezing, is there any dry place in here?” He spun around rather dramatically and started walking away. “Follow me and I’ll show you, but you may want to put clothes on because there maybe a few humans around.” When she didn’t respond and he heard the cracking sounds again he looked back to find a large black coated dog trailing behind him with the canvas bag hanging from it’s mouth.

Making his way into the worn down house connected to the beginning sewer maze, he waited for her to enter before walking over to a beat up mattress laying on the floor. “No one comes in here so this will be your best bet, and if they do you now know it’s the quickest to the drains to escape or attack them.” His eyes now a shade of blue as he told this to the dog. She jumped on the mattress and started ripping apart the paper covering the ribs, drooling as she reached the raw flesh. “I have hunting to do, so I’ll be back later.” He said before he vanished back down into the pitch blackness. Licking her chops she turned her attention to the ribs, and finally started to devour them.

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

Ari awoke to the feeling of eyes on her, and as she sat up she found Pennywise watching her from the corner of the room. “sleep well pet?” a cheerful tone present in his voice. “I see you found some clothes as well.” Ari yawned and stretched before answering him. “first off.. NOT YOUR PET.. And yea they were upstairs. So do you need my help today, or am I good to go off with out you hunting me down?” He walked over to the window then looked back to her, “I’m fine for today, but can I ask you some more questions? I’ve never encountered another with shifting abilities.” He giggled a little when she nodded. “so can you shift into anything? Are there more of you?? Do you only eat certain types of things?” he spouted off while taking a seat in front of her on the mattress. “oh man.. Okay, I can shift into any animal on this planet or previously on this planet. I can also make any part of my body into any thing animal like and still keep the rest in human form. This is my human form, the only one I have, I haven’t changed much about it since forming it.. There were lots of us but over time we’ve dissipated to only a few. And my full name is Nofre -ari, it’s Egyptian for the good companion. We all had a great influence on that culture, with all the half animal half human gods they worshiped. Many of my kind took on those roles while others of us, like myself, preferred to stay in full animal forms and help by protection or guidence. I mostly stayed as a Pharaoh dog in those days. Our Kind really isn’t into aggression unless needed or injured, humans are much too hostile, hence my choice to stay in animal forms over humans. As for eating I stick to wildlife or human food.” She said playing with the hem on her shirt.

His blank stare and lack of movement or speech made her question if he’d heard everything she told him, but then he swallowed and tilted his head a little, seeming to return to the current conversation. “Are you immortal?” She eyed him suspiciously after he broke the quiet with one more question. “I can be injured to the point of almost death in any form, but only killed in my original form, so yes in every other form but I can be killed when I fully show what I am.” His smile returned and his blue eyes got brighter at her response. “what does that look like? Show me! Show me! Show me! I can show you mine if that seems more fair?” his bells jingled as he twitched with more excitement. Glaring at him she crossed her arms, “oh no, I’m not showing you.. You’ve seen plenty and I didn’t make it living on this planet this long by chance clown.” He let out a loud groan and stuck out his bottom lip in a pout. This is going to be one interesting year… for the both of us... She thought to herself as she watched the clown grumble and head out of the room.

So yeah that's it so far, sorry it was a long one.. Thanks for reading and feedback is always welcome ☺
