This is random but I absolutely hate how people assume that having something as a special interest (or hyperfixation) means that you have extensive in-depth knowledge about it. Especially since it’s mostly neurotypical people guilty of this (though I’ve seen plenty of nd do it as well.) We’ve been told an annoying amount of times that “you don’t actually have a special interest in x, you hardly know anything about it” by people who have a lot of background in the subject. Like no where in any description of a special interest does it say it makes you an expert in the subject. Some people only fixate on the idea or aesthetic of their special interest. Some only on a surface level knowledge of it. Some people just simply aren’t compelled to dig deeper. I’ve never had the urge to look much into learning more about most of my spins, and when I’ve forced myself to I end up bored and don’t pay attention to whatever I’m researching.
I just need people to understand that having a spin doesn’t require substantial knowledge in the area to be valid. We just want to casually talk about what we already know and maybe learn little tidbits from others without being told “educate yourself” or that we’re invalid.

My Take on Kieran from the Pokemon SV Teal Mask DLC/his Pain/Trauma (obvious and major Spoilers to the Story under the Cut):
Carmine is seen throughout the Game insulting/not treating Kieran kindly. That has tremendous Effects on his Confidence and Self-Esteem (stuttering, not confident enough to talk to others, etc)
When he sees you, the Protagonist, he immediately places you on a Pedestal, basically idolizing you and thinking you can only do right/are not capable of making Mistakes (which is a very bad Thing to do, because when you put People on a Pedestal and think very highly of them, any Mistake they'll do will shatter the perfect Image you built of them and you will grow to resent that Person because of that. Instead of unyielding Love and Admiration for them, it will turn into bitter Hatred and a Grudge forms.)
The only Thing that brings him Comfort through all the Pain is Ogerpon. It basically became his Hyperfixation which you can see when he comes up with these wholesome Scenarios in his Head (hoping to meet Ogerpon one Day and become his Friend, invite Ogerpon to his Home, etc). He also sees Part of himself in Ogerpon, so because of that he thinks he would have a special Connection with this Pokemon.
Then you come along. At first, everything seems fine, but soon Things begin to turn negative. You lie to him (probably against your Will) as he tests you, so Part of his Trust is already once again shattered and his Self-Esteem worsens once again (he thinks you and Carmine laugh behind his back without having any Evidence for it. His Head tells him that this is the Truth).
Then, the only Source of Comfort turns away from him… and to you (it's like your Hyperfixation walking right up to you, only to push you aside and give someone else the Attention you always craved), so that is taken away from him as well. On top of that, the Person he once considered his Friend is understanding themself well with the one Person who always antagonized him… his Sister, Carmine.
His entire Environment is crumbling apart, so he tries to fight the Force that is destroying it… only to lose over, and over, and over again (without anyone telling him that the Person he is facing off against is considered a Champion in one Region, while he himself only has average Knowledge about battling. He was doomed to lose from the Start)
He is shown as this shy, meek Character at first, but if you pay Attention to the Details, you can quickly tell how his Frustrations, his Despair and his Anger are building up, bottling up within him (he punches a Shrine made out of Stone with his Fist (not thinking clearly and reacting based on his Emotions as he regrets doing that Moments later on, seeing how his Expression changes into a pained one and he shakes his Hand in Pain), he falls down to the Ground and pounds his Fist against the Floor, the Light in his Eyes vanishes, he clenches his Fists when thinking about you… but also mostly stays silent all the same, rarely shouting out in Anger.)
And to top it off… he seems to be a Child without Parents, only having his Grandparents around him, one of which has kept the true Story of Ogerpon hidden from him for many Years now.
Carmine assumed at some points that Kieran acted weirdly due to Hormones, since Kieran is in his Teen Years… and we know how irrational and emotional Teens can become due to Hormones.
It doesn't end there for him, however. As one of my best Friends pointed out while I was talking to him, Kieran's School Life doesn't seem great either. Remember how all giddy Kieran gets when he hears you considering him to be your Friend. That shows how he doesn't have any Friends at his School at all. It's no wonder how he considers himself to be an Outsider and how he asumes Carmine and you exclude him from Stuff even if there is once again no Proof for it.
One last Detail I think I noticed is how Kieran sabotages himself, whether he does it intentionally or not. He is clearly frustrated that Ogerpon prefers you over him. Yet, he abandoned Ogerpon when Ogerpon needed help the most (meanwhile, the Protagonist was always there for Ogerpon, so it makes Sense that Ogerpon would flock to them more than it would to Kieran). Instead of listening what others have to say and let them talk, he keeps running away before he can gain Information/their Side of the Story, twisting his Perception of others further. He is also always the one that demands to battle with you, despite Part of him knowing that he will lose.
To sum it up: Kieran is seemingly a shy and meek Boy who already had some Troubles in his Home-, Social- and School Life, resulting in his poor Self-Esteem and dwindling mental Health. Then he places the Protagonist on a high Pedestal (possibly due to Trauma and/or Loneliness) when they come along and idolize them, only for that Person to unintentionally and inevitably destroy everything he held dearly to him and turn his Life upside down.
Also, while I can't assume that he hates the Protagonist's Guts now and harbor a Grudge against them (since that would be kinda hypocritical considering he thought Carmine and the Protagonist were laughing behind his back without having any Evidence to back it up), it wouldn't be too surprising if it turned out that that was the Case, even if it is just a tiny Part of him that does so.
So, what exactly does all of this mean for Part 2 of the DLC?
Well, I think that maybe someone is going to take Advantage of the Situation and manipulate Kieran, as Kieran's mental Wellbeing is basically down the Drain at this point. The only Thing he, and possibly by Extension his Hatred, cares about is tearing us down. And considering how chaotic his Emotions must be right now, he won't think clearly about what he is doing, as proven by his past Actions… therefore giving others an Opportunity to manipulate him.
------
If anyone wants to add something onto this, feel free to do so. Also, if this Post feels scattered or weird, it's because I copy and pasted my Thoughts and Ramblings I had between me and my best Friend on Discord onto this Post, so that's why it might be all over the Place- uwu Please remember that I also played the DLC in German, so if some Things are different, then Parts of the Translations weren't the same as the English one- :^Pc

Rafe with autistic reader
Warnings: Suggestive content, innocent reader
Tropes: kookxpogue, sunshinexgrumpy
Summary: Reader is autistic.
Bree rants: Hi! So, I am only mildly autistic, so if I get any of this wrong I am deeply sorry. ALSO, if you're reading this, please help me work tumblr, I don't know how to make a taglist or boarders. Thank you- Also my askbox is always opened, so ask me random questions, I am always bored. Before I forget, I AM ADDING THIS TO ALL POSTS, AND IF I FORGET IT @brokenwingsgalore WILL PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT READ IT!!! AND, if you want this to be a full oneshot, please tell me in the comments. I love you and enjoy reading!
(HOW DO I MAKE BOARDERS.)
Rafe! Who found you at his house in his party crying because everything was too loud.
Rafe! Who was about to yell at you but once he looked down, he felt soft and mushy.
Rafe! Who would continue to stare at you while you cry, not knowing what to do.
Rafe! Who finally speaks up and asks you if you need something. You shake your head no and he does not take that lightly. Instead grabbing you some water and sitting beside you.
Rafe! Who eventually finds out its because of how loud everything was and takes you up to his room. Topper whistles thinking Rafes getting lucky. Rafe tells him to shut up and you sit on his bed.
Rafe! Who would calm you down by dimming the lights and covering your ears. He thought this was childish but you seemed to have been calming down.
Rafe! Who would let go of your ears and ask you if you're okay.
Rafe! Who slowly finds out you suffer autism and your friend had brought you here to, "let loose." He would fight the urge to punch whoever that friend was.
Rafe! Who would yell at anybody who even talked near his room so you wouldn't have to panic anymore.
Rafe! Who would spend all night with you, letting you rant about your current hyperfixation just so you didn't have to pay attention to the loud party beneath you two.
Rafe! Who smiles at your little giggles and hand gestures. He hated when people would talk to him, but with you, everything you said sounded so luring. Even though you were talking about sharks.
Rafe! Who would drive you home and get your number.
Rafe! Who becomes obsessed with you after a week of getting to know you. Doing research on autism just so he could help you out like you helped him that night you met, he would've been fucking some girl he didn't like or smoke weed all night. Instead he found you.
Rafe! Who would ask you to be his girlfriend after two weeks.
Rafe! Who buys you anything you hyperfixate on. Legos? He's buying every set and listening you talk about the lego sets. Sharks? He'd buy you a mountain of plushies. Anything your autism liked for a few months or weeks, he would buy.
Rafe! Who never forced you to come to crowded places with. And if you do, he brings noise cancelling headphones or something for you to fidget with.
Rafe! Who practically almost murders anybody who says your too weird or something about your mental health.
Rafe! Who makes sure you eat all your meals, even if its krafts mac and cheese for the 5th time today.
Rafe! Who lets you sleep with him but gets annoyed when you have to put one of your shark plushies between you two. Though he would never tell you he was annoyed.
Rafe! Who ends up telling Barry random facts about the new movie you're obsessed with because that's all you talk about.
Rafe! Who loves you to death despite everything. He loves you and your hyperfixations. (maybe not the shark plushies though)

Wouldn't it be funny if Yoru, a grumpy, angry, gtfo of my face typa guy, literally dating an ADHD s/o...haha.....so funny....(not self indulgent slash es ar es)
Tumblr media
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!
: Yoru(Valorant) x gn!reader 💮 Fluff, Headcanons
: Yoru who has an s/o that had ADHD and is super hyper
: Light swearing if you squint
Tumblr media
Opposites attract cliche (barf /j)
If Yoru is crushing on you then it's super obvious because he plays favorites
You can barge into his room, wake him up at 3 am because you wanted to eat his noodles and he'd just sigh, call you stupid, and get out of his bed to get you noodles as you jump around in giddiness
Yet whenever Jett teases him about his not so hidden crush for you, he gives her the most nastiest glare that screams bloody murder
"You're lucky we're on the same team, otherwise you'd be dead."
Yk I don't even know how yall got dating but oh well it happened and Yoru is kinda loving it (he won't admit it and call you stupid though)
Whenever you have any sort of hyperfixation on anything he'd definitely sit quiet and listen
He has that face where it seems that he's just trying your words pass through the other ear which kinda made you insecure and just stop talking so that you wouldn't be a bother
but in reality, he's just socially awkward since he's not used to talking a lot and is actually listening to every word you say. He just doesn't know how to act
"I was about to check my phone for new messages from Brim but found this TikTok that made the most cutest cat crochet plush and then I saw this huge bee plush so I maybe wanna try crochet one day and.."
".."
"..."
"...and? When are you gonna start crocheting?"
"!!! Oh my gosh okay so—!"
He can find himself smiling just by observing your random antics and silly actions but immediately cuts himself off cause he's in public (and Jett's teasing exists)
Probably has a specific drawer in his room that has all of the random stuff you give him
A rock you found on the street which you drew a :P face on it. A small yellow balloon filled with water that can be used as a stress ball. A shiny candy wrapper you randomly found in your pocket yesterday. And yes, you named all of them.
He's always >:( and you're always >:)
One time the both of you were on the same mission which required you to go to Japan and once you got there you immediately started running around staring at everything you found pretty
And he's just walking, trailing behind you from a close distance, sighing an amused smile
His way of speaking is also different between you and literally everyone else
He's more chill, quiet when he's with you since he likes it more when you initiate the conversations (and he likes your voice AYIE)
And when he does talk, it's mostly joking and teasing you for literally anything
Compared to others though, he's super snarky and has a cocky attitude. A huge difference to his more soft approach with you
Phoenix calls this out once which made Yoru roll his eyes, called him a dumbass, flipped him off, and walked off like nothing happened all while looking like a grumpy cat
He loves it when you fight back with his teasing
When you playfully roll your eyes at his jab and retort back with your own tease makes his heart beat hard at the fact that you're willing to play along with him
Definitely is smug and smirking all the way whenever you talk back with your own playful grin
He seems like a bitter food liker, probably downs black coffee and plain solid matcha like it's the most normal thing ever
Or maybe he has a hidden sweet tooth :/
Some times whenever you forget to eat because of hyperfixation, he drags you by the ear and forces you to eat </3
Even though you insist you aren't hungry he'll still call you a dumbass and force food down you're throat
When you walk into a room and suddenly forget what the hell you were doing in the first place, he always manages to understand your mannerisms to remind you what your objective was
It's cause he stares at you a lot hehehe
Tumblr media
This was like...two years ago idfk why I didn't post it LMAO

Kinktober Day 9: Hunter/Prey
Summary: Ailis and Astarion decide to play a game of hunter vs prey. They're prize? Getting to do whatever they want to the other.
Hello! My hyperfixation on Astarion has got me in the writing mood so I will be participating in Kinktober using @flightlessangelwings Kinktober list. The pieces may be part of a bigger fic(s). I have started the fic. If you like this please consider checking out my main fic, This is Me Trying. (Can you tell I like Taylor Swift?) Either way, I hope you enjoy. I do plan on completing the 31 prompts though it will take me past October. I also have the fic posted on AO3.
Warning: Anyone under 18 do not interact. Please pay attention to the tag warnings below.
Tags: Hunter/Prey, Ball Gag, Extremely Dubious Consent**, Rough Sex, Safeword Ignored, Disassociation, NSFW
Additional Notes: This work involves Spawn Astarion, but it's early in their relationship and he's darker than previously written in these. Be warned.
** Also, I've gone back and forth on whether I should include rape in the tags, but I landed on dubious consent. If you feel I should add rape to the tags please let me know. I will add it. If you are reading this and anything I am stating makes you think you could run into a trigger in this fic then I would suggest skipping this one. My feelings won't be hurt. I want everyone to protect their own peace.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from BG3.
            It was a beautiful summer night.  Warm, but not muggy.  There was not a cloud in the sky.  The stars and moon shone a pearlescent light across the landscape.  Crickets played a harmonious melody that brought a feeling of peace over their camp.  Ailis enjoyed the clear reflection of the night sky as she washed the night’s dishes.  Usually, she didn’t care for the task, but it was hard to be bothered on a night like this.  It reminded her of the summer nights she spent with her mother catching fireflies that danced across their farm.  She took her time scrubbing the dinnerware clean.  She turned to place a dried plate in its crate and let out a startled yelp, dropping the plate to the dirt.  She scowled as she picked it back up and began to rewash it.
            “Can’t you step on a twig or something?” she grumbled at Astarion, who had a smug grin on his face.
            “I can’t help it, darling.  I am a predator.  Our prey isn’t supposed to know we’re approaching them,” he replied snidely.  She shot him an unamused glare.
            “I think I’m going to back Shadowheart’s idea and have you wear a bell around camp,” she muttered.  Astarion snorted. 
            “I’d like to see you try,” he said.
            “You know, you should be very nice to me right now, considering it’s your night to do the dishes,” Ailis pointed out.
            “I didn’t ask you to do them for me,” he replied.  “Why are you washing them anyway?  Trying to butter me up?  Want something from me?”
            “Oh yeah, cause everything I do is about pleasing you,” she snapped.  “I’m doing the dishes for you so we can all be spared your grumbling.  And they’ll actually be clean for the morning meal for a change.”
            “They’re clean when I wash them,” he whined. 
            “You don’t wash them, Astarion,” she cried.  “You dunk them in the water once and call it a job well done.  Meanwhile, the rest of us are forced to eat off dirty plates at the next meal.”  He scowled.
            “Well, it’s not fair to ask me to do the dishes when I don’t contribute to the mess!” he exclaimed.  “What do I need a plate for?”
            “You’re a member of this camp,” Ailis stated.  “You’re beholden to the same chores everyone else is.”
            “Fine,” he snapped and snatched the wet plate out of her hands.  He made aggressive eye contact as he dried it thoroughly and then placed it in the crate.  “The dishes are done.”
            “You’re infuriating,” she said, lifting the crate and starting back to camp.
            “You’re just angry that I can get the better of you,” Astarion replied, walking alongside her.  He did not offer to carry the heavy crate.
            “Oh, please.  I could snap your spine in two in under a minute,” she snapped.
            “I wouldn’t be too sure about that, darling,” he replied stiffly, “but that’s not what I meant.  You aren’t used to being caught unawares.  It bothers you that I can approach you without your notice.”
            “Because you purposefully sneak around!” she argued.  “If you approached like a normal person or if I knew you were seeking me out, I’d notice.”
            “Why don’t we put that to the test?” he suggested.  “You can see if you can avoid me as I hunt you through the woods.  I’ll even give you a five-minute head start.”  She considered his game.  She should really ignore his taunting, but she felt the need to prove her competence.
            “Am I allowed a weapon?” she asked.  “The woods are dangerous at night.”
            “Of course, Ailis.  I wouldn’t have you defenseless.  Just don’t use it on me when I inevitably hunt you down,” he replied.  His arrogant tone made her decision for her.
            “Fine.  When are we doing this?  Tonight?” she questioned.
            “Oh no, darling,” he replied.  “I like to anticipate the hunt.  I’m looking forward to anticipating my prize all day tomorrow.”
            “Your prize?” she replied, raising her eyebrows.
            “Yes.  My prize.  When I catch you tomorrow night, I’ll win this bet and a bet must have an award to it,” he said.  She rolled her eyes.
            “Fine,” she agreed.  “What do you want?”
            “Hmm,” he hummed, considering.  He ran a hand sensually over her clothed body and she couldn’t help a shiver from running through her.  “It would be fun to mark up your skin and then lick away every ounce of blood spilled.”
            “Absolutely not,” she replied.  “I have enough scars.”
            “It’s my prize for winning though, which means I should get what I want,” he said glibly.  “Of course, if you manage to evade me, you win and you can do whatever you want to me.”
            “Whatever I want?” she questioned.  She knew what would make her happy.
            “Yes, darling.  Whatever dirty thing you want,” he replied.  I am curious what you have in mind.”
            “You’ll find out tomorrow when I win,” she said cheerfully.
            “Don’t be delusional, darling.  It doesn’t suit you,” he replied.
            “We’ll see if I’m delusional tomorrow, won’t we?” she said feeling even more determined to win.  “Have a good night.  You’ll need the rest for tomorrow.”
            The anticipation throughout the next day nearly killed her.  It was almost impossible to focus on the day’s tasks or to pay attention to her surroundings.  She blundered through the day until, finally, it was time to return to camp.  She made a stop at the grove for supplies for the night’s adventure before joining the others at camp.  She ate her dinner quickly, and then packed a bag of supplies before meeting Astarion at the edge of the forest.
            “Ready, darling?” he asked after they’d discussed a few rules.
            “I’m ready,” she said.  “Are you?”  His lips quirked up in amusement.
            “Yes.  I’m quite ready to enjoy my prize at the end of this,” he said.  “Do try to make the hunt difficult for me, though.  It’s always disappointing when it’s too easy.”  She rolled her eyes.
            “I think it’s going to be a difficult night for you when you lose,” she replied.
            “We’ll see,” he said.  “Do you have everything you need?”  She nodded.  “All right, then.  You have twenty minutes to get ahead of me.  After that the hunt begins.”
            “I thought you were only giving me a five-minute head start,” she said.
            “I would find you too easily,” he said.  “This way will be more fun.”  She snorted and then stepped into the woods.  She quickly lightened her step though and began to cover some ground.  She did her best not to lay any kind of trail. 
            It wasn’t long though, before her confidence began to wane and she started to think this game was a mistake.  The thick canopy of the trees blocked out much of the moon and starlight.  She couldn’t see very far ahead, and despite her best efforts, tripped over roots and other debris.  She’d packed a torch in case of emergency, but she refused to light it.  The fire would immediately give away her position.
            The darkness was cloying though, and it felt like the forest was closing in on her.  It was also disturbingly quiet.  No animals scuttled about or made their usual various chatter.  They sensed a predator on the loose as keenly as she did.  Even though she knew who was hunting her and that she was safe, goosebumps prickled her skin and the hair on the back of her neck stood on end.  Her instincts screamed that she was in danger.  She ignored her instinct.  She was safe. 
            Still, she felt an increasing need to get out from under the trees.  She decided to risk traveling on the shore of the river.  She’d find a calm spot to cross.  It would throw her scent and she believed she was still far enough ahead of Astarion that he wouldn’t hear any potential splashing.  She reached the edge of the forest and peeked out at the shore from behind a tree.  The area looked clear. 
            Carefully, she stepped out into the open and approached the river.  The water was traveling quickly, but the light from the moon was bright enough for her to make out the pebbled riverbed all the way out to the middle.  It was very shallow here.  She decided to cross and travel alongside the tree line on the other side.  She slowly stepped into the river to avoid making a splash.  She began wading across it, never lifting her feet high enough to break the surface.  It was slow progress.
            “She had gotten halfway across when she heard rustling in the woods behind her.  She whipped her head around to look over her shoulder, but she didn’t see anything.  She was about to continue when she heard more rustling and a frightened and pained cry.  She took off in a dead run, splashing her way across the rest of the river and then she took off into the woods before her.  She ran until her lungs felt like they were about to burst.
            She leaned against a tree as she caught her breath.  As her breathing evened out, she felt the adrenaline fade from her body.  Her senses came back to her and she realized her mistake.  She hadn’t paid any attention to her surroundings as she’d ran.  She was fairly certain she’d run as straight a course as possible, but she wasn’t sure how far off course she was.  She could scream.  Astarion would probably hear her.  Or she could just wait until he found her.  He was most likely right on her tail anyway with all the noise she’d just made.  But both of those options meant she’d lose the game.  She’d rather lose trying than just giving up. 
            She decided to find her way back to the river and recross it.  She would determine her next step from there.  She turned back in the general direction she thought she’d run from and began to trek back.  Anxiety prickled her skin as after she’d been walking for a while, she hadn’t come across the river.  Nothing looked familiar to her.  She picked up her pace, moving at a light job, until she finally heard the river babbling through the brush.
            Ailis stepped back out onto the shore.  She was relieved to see she was only a few feet down from where she’d originally crossed.  She moved back to that spot and this time managed to silently cross the river.  She ducked back into the woods.  As much as she loathed the claustrophobic feeling of the trees at night, she’d drawn too much attention to her position to stay in the open. 
            She began to carefully pick her way through the brush again.  Her head moved constantly around as she scanned for any sign of movement.  Ahead of her, a bush began to shake.  She tensed and gripped the handle of the knife attached to her belt.  Most likely, it was just Astarion messing with her before her caught her, but there was an abundance of wildlife in these woods.  And plenty of those animals might decide to attack her.
            The bush rustled for another moment and then a raccoon stumbled out of it.  Ailis let go of the knife.  She felt relief at the sight of the harmless animal and then sympathy as she saw the large wound on its leg.  This was the creature that made all that screeching before that had sent her running.  The ruckus had been a predator attack.  A failed one.  When the raccoon noticed her, it immediately began to hiss and it arched its back to appear larger. 
            “Hey, it’s okay.  I’m not going to hurt you,” she said in a soothing tone.  It did nothing to calm the raccoon.  It stomped its feet, causing its wounded leg to buckle and knock it off balance.  “Oh, don’t do that!  You’re hurt.”  She pulled her backpack off and dug through it until she found the potion of animal speaking she’d packed.  She quickly downed the potion.
            “I’m not going to hurt you,” she said.  “Please calm down.”  The raccoon cocked its head at her as it got back on its feet.
            “Leg hurts,” it whined.  She noticed he wasn’t putting any weight on it now.
            “I can see that,” she said.  “Can I take a look at it?”  The raccoon chittered.  It looked unsure.  “I just want to see if I can help.” 
            “Okay.  Have look,” he submitted.  She knelt in front of the raccoon and gently held onto his paw and looked at the wound.  It was still bleeding and she could see down to the muscle, though not the bone.  She carefully prodded around the leg and was relieved to find it wasn’t broken.  If the wound didn’t get infected and the raccoon avoided fights or other predations he might live.
            “I’m going to clean this wound and bandage it.  It will come off on its own after a time, but try not to pick at it,” she said pulling out her medical supplies.  “It’s important to keep it as clean as possible.”  She got to work quickly, and soon had the bandage in place.  The raccoon tested the leg and was able to put weight on it and walk.
            “Feel better!  Thanks.  You friend,” the raccoon chittered.  She smiled at him.
            “Take care of yourself now, okay?” she said.  The raccoon nodded and then waddled off into the forest.  She also continued, making her way through the brush.  She flinched at every noise she heard.  Every second she expected Astarion to appear, but she continued to evade him.  More likely, he was just toying with her.  He probably had his eyes on her right now and was enjoying her increasing anxiety.  The bushes behind her rustled and she whirled around to see what had snuck up on her.
            “Ouch!” a pained shout called out and she recognized the voice.  She quickly moved through the bushes and found Astarion trying to kick off a raccoon with a bandaged leg.
            “Don’t kick him!” Ailis said rushing over.
            “The damn thing won’t let go,” Astarion snapped.
            “I’ll get him to let go.  Quit trying to throw him off,” she said kneeling down so she was closer to her furry friend.  “Let go of him please.”
            “Monster.  Stalking you,” the raccoon said and hissed at Astarion.
            “The monster is my friend.  We’re playing a game.  He’s safe,” Ailis said.
            “Safe?” the raccoon repeated.
            “Yes.  Safe,” she assured him and after a moment, he let go of Astarion’s leg.  “Thanks for looking out for me.”
            “You friend,” the raccoon said and with a last suspicious glance at Astarion, disappeared back into the woods.
            “Were you just speaking with that creature?” Astarion asked.
            “Yes.  I used a potion of animal speaking earlier so I could get him to let me bandage his leg,” she replied.  “Poor thing got attacked.”
            “I heard,” Astarion replied and then gave her a sultry smile and pulled her to him by her waist.  “I also heard you, and now that I’ve caught you…”
            “You didn’t catch me.  I caught you,” she said.
            “Hmm?”  he hummed giving her a confused look.
            “I found you first.  I win,” she said with a triumphant smile.  He started to frown.
            “I wouldn’t say you found me first, darling,” he replied, his tone slightly strained.  “I knew where you were.  I was just about to make my appearance known.”
            “But I found you before that happened and we agreed that we had to make the other known that they were found to count as a win,” Ailis said.  “Or I had to avoid you completely.  No stalking outside the hunt to find me was allowed.  You apparently decided to disregard that rule.  I made my presence aware to you when I found you, so I win!”
            “You only found me because your damn raccoon attacked me!” Astarion cried.  “You used a potion to conspire with the wildlife.  You cheated!”
            “At no point did we say the potion of animal speaking couldn’t be used,” she replied calmly.  She watched Astarion’s stormy expression as he tried to find something to retort with, but his shoulders slumped in defeat.  She felt surprised when his expression slipped immediately back to seductive.
            “All right then, darling.  What do you have planned for me?” he purred.  She hesitated, feeling a flicker of concern, but shook it off and pulled her pack off her shoulders and dug through it.  If he really wanted to protest, he would, she thought.  After a moment of searching, she held up what she’d been looking for to Astarion to see.  It was a leather belt with a red ball in the middle instead of a buckle.
            “A ball gag?” Astarion said, eyebrows raised.  “Where did you get that?”
            “From a rather amused druid,” she replied, grinning hugely.  A muscle ticked in Astarion’s cheek as if he were about to smile, but his mouth remained a neutral line.
            “Is this your way of telling me I talk too much?” he said.
            “If it wouldn’t be too mean, I’d have you wear it during our travels, but since I’m nice I’ll just use it on you for this occasion,” she replied lightly.  She was teasing him of course.  Although some things he said certainly annoyed or even angered her, she would never want to restrict him from expressing his thoughts or opinions.  The gag was just meant for a bit of fun.  Astarion’s expression remained neutral though.
            “All right.  Place it on me,” he said.  She hesitated.  Something in his manner didn’t feel quite right.  Usually, he was very flirtatious and open during their sexual encounters.  Right now, he was very stiff and guarded.  He wasn’t telling her no, though.  She thought maybe he’d never used a gag before and was just nervous.  More likely he was just mad that he’d lost the game.  She moved closer after a moment.  He would let her know if he needed her to stop.  She held the gag up so the red ball was just in front of his mouth.
            “Open,” she ordered, and he listened.  She gently pushed the ball into his mouth.  She’d worried his fangs wouldn’t work with this gag, but it fit fine and didn’t appear to be putting any pressure on his fangs.  She leaned into his chest as she fastened the lock of the gag in place behind his head and adjusted it to fit snugly.  She ignored the part of her mind that wished he’d put his arms around her as she did this.
            “Is it too tight?” she asked.  He tried to speak and she bit her lips to stop from laughing at the scowl that appeared on his face when he remembered he couldn’t talk.  He shook his head.  “Good.  Now listen to me, cause this next bit’s important.  If at any time you want or need the gag removed just tap me three times, okay?  Nod that you understand.”  He nodded.
            “All right, then.  On your knees,” she ordered.  She half expected him to refuse, but he obeyed.  He watched her warily from where he kneeled on the ground.  She fisted her hand tightly in his white curls, and pulled his head back a little, but then noticed there was actual fear in his eyes.  She loosened her grip so he could pull his head away if he wanted to, and kissed him softly on the cheek.  The fear was gone, but he still looked cautious.  “Three taps, Astarion.  That’s how you get out of this.”
            She waited to see if he would do it, but he didn’t.  Taking that to mean he didn’t want to stop, she continued.  She pulled his shirt off and then, using both hands, she shoved at his chest.  He fell back onto his behind.  Before he could recover, she knelt in front of him and draped herself over them until he laid flat on his back on the ground.  She traced her tongue along one of his ears and then nipped the earlobe.  She smirked when this caused him to moan, the sound muffled by the gag.  She trailed kisses down his jaw and throat and then bit gently into the skin where the neck met shoulder.  Her hands flew to her waist and she waited to see if he was going to use the signal.  He didn’t.
            She continued trailing kisses down his chest, nipping lightly at the skin every now and again.  She continued down his abdomen until she reached his pants.  She palmed his cock through his pants and squeezed through the fabric.  He moaned, and she wasted no more time teasing him.  She unlaced his pants and shoved them down to his knees.  She stroked his cock to full hardness and then kissed the tip before taking him in her mouth.  She smirked around his cock as she listened to him moan and cry out around the gag.  She worked him with her mouth and when she felt he was about to cu she stopped.  She smiled at the frustrated groan and glanced up at his face.  Drool was dripping down his chin.  She felt her own desire flare in her gut at the sight.  She expected to see an indignant scowl when she looked in his eyes, but she was shocked to see they were completely vacant. 
            He looked as if he were miles way.  By his body’s reactions, she had assumed he was enjoying himself.  Nor had he given her the signal asking for her to stop.  She now wondered if he was even aware enough of what was happening to be able to use the signal.  He’d drifted away slightly at other times when they’d had sex.  He always said he was just holding back so as not to hurt her or lose control.  She’d never thought that was the whole story and now, she was sure.  She quickly worked a hand behind his head and unlocked the gag, before easing it out of his mouth.  She was alarmed when he didn’t seem to realize the gag was gone.
            “Astarion,” she said, but he didn’t even look at her.  She began carding her fingers through his hair, offering a kind touch for comfort, while she shook his shoulder gently with her other hand.  “Astarion!  Look at me.”  His gaze turned to her.  At first, she could tell he was just obeying an order, but after a moment, she saw awareness return to his expression and she felt immensely relieved.
            “Ailis?” he said.
            “Yes.  It’s me,” she replied gently, tugging in an errant white curl that had fallen onto his forehead. 
            “You stopped.  Why?” he asked, sounding baffled.  She glanced at him warily.
            “Astarion, I went to check on you and you weren’t at all present,” she said.  He suddenly looked annoyed.
            “I’ve told you, darling,” he said, sitting up and she followed.  “Sometimes my desire for your blood gets a little too strong.  I must hold myself back to keep myself from hurting you.  I should have found an animal to consume while I was hunting you.”
            “If that’s the case, why didn’t you use the signal?” she asked.
            “I’ve never told you I need to stop before over it,” he replied. 
            “You always had the ability to,” Ailis said.  “I gave you a signal to use because you wouldn’t be able to speak with the gag.  Are you saying you’ve wanted to stop before this time, but didn’t say anything?  Did you just disregard using the signal or were you so spaced out you couldn’t?”
            “You are looking for problems, darling,” he replied tersely.  “I’ve never needed to stop before and I didn’t need to now.”  She bit her lip, unsure how to respond.  It felt like there was a deeper issue at play here, that caused him to zone out.  She wasn’t convinced he had a problem with bloodlust.  She wasn’t sure if she should push the issue.  They weren’t in a real relationship.  They were just two people fooling around and letting off some steam.  They weren’t even friends, really.  Although she had grown to appreciate Astarion, she didn’t care for him all that much.  She found his callous disregard for others chilling and his tendency to rile up the group frustrating.
            “Are we continuing, darling?” Astarion asked.  He sounded impatient.  She was tempted to call it off tonight, but she was already worked up.  And the vampire spawn was quick to say when something displeased him usually.  Surely, he wouldn’t suffer through sex just for her benefit.  Still, she was done with the gag.  He may not want to admit it, but he clearly didn’t like it.  At least, not being used on him.
            “We can continue,” she said, “but just do what you wanted tonight.  Forget the gag.”
            “You won, darling.  It’s rightfully your pick on what we do tonight,” she said snippily.  “Besides, I recall you saying you didn’t want what I had in mind.”  She shrugged.
            “It’s fine,” she said.  “Just don’t cut anywhere that’s readily visible to others.”  Astarion gazed at her consideringly for a moment, and then took the gag out of her hand and held it up to her face.  Surprised, she opened her mouth to ask him what he was planning to do, but he roughly shoved the gag inside.  Her exclamation of surprise was muffled by the gag.  He quickly fastened the clasp behind her head and then pulled back to look at her.
            “Hmm.  You were right.  The gag is appealing,” he said.  She felt a flash of hurt.  She had made a similar remark about shutting him up, but she had been teasing.  She couldn’t tell if he was or not, and suddenly wondered if he thought she’d meant it too.  She had no way to ask him now.  He then pushed her back and she landed with a thud onto her back.  He was mirroring her own actions from earlier, though his treatment was much harsher.  Her clothes were quickly removed.  He then abruptly lifted her legs up over her shoulder and then leaned forward until her knees hovered around her shoulders.  She whined at the rough treatment and his gaze finally met hers.
            “Three taps, darling,” he said and then he slammed into her.  She cried out around the gag and her fingers dug into the dirt beneath her as they clenched from the surprise and mild pain.  There had been no prep and she was struggling to adjust to him inside her.  He gave her no time to as he pulled out completely and then thrust back in, setting a punishing rhythm.  Spit gurgled out of her mouth around the gag and dribbled down her chin and cheeks as she moaned and cried out from his brutal thrusts. 
She tried to catch his gaze, but realized he wasn’t even looking at her.  His gaze was forward, somewhere over her head and she knew he was disassociating again.  She moved a hand up to tap his shoulder and use their signal, but his hand gripped her own and pulled it up above her head.  He did the same with the other hand and then pinned them in a crushing grip.  Her protests were muffled by the gag.  She wasn’t sure he could hear her anyway.  Her only option left was to bear it.  She tried to make her body as malleable as possible as she rocked with each thrust.  It didn’t take too long for his rhythm to falter and he came as he pulled out of her.  She felt his cool cum spurt across her folds and up to her lower abdomen, and grimaced.  Mess was just a part of sex and usually it turned her on, but she could only feel disgust right now.
Her attention was drawn back to him when she felt him pulling her open her leg to increase his access and she realized he intended to make her finish.  She gave a cry in protest around the gag and tugged her leg from his grasp.  He let her go and glanced up at her in surprise.  A part of her was relieved to see he was fully present now, but a larger part of her burned with anger.  She had treated him with care, giving up her prize so he could feel comfortable.  He had just used her like an object; one he didn’t care much about.  This wasn’t a relationship.  Neither of them really cared much for the other, but she had treated him with respect and he had just thrown that back in her face.  She reached back behind her head and started fumbling with the clasp on the gag, but she couldn’t get it.  She felt his cool hand brush hers aside and he unfastened it for her and pulled the gag away.
“Darling?” he questioned.  She ignored him and worked her jaw for a moment as she sat up before wiping the drool away and then turning to look for her clothes.  She’d just found her shirt when she felt him pull t her leg again.  She jerked out of his grip again.  “Darling, you didn’t get to cum.”  She could feel his eyes on her face, but she refused to meet them.
“It’s fine.  I don’t need to,” she replied, keeping her tone neutral.  She grabbed her shirt and started slipping it on.  She could put the upper undergarment on later when she got back to camp.
“It’s not fine, love.  Mutual pleasure, remember?” he said with a sultry smile.  He placed his hand on her leg again and this time she kicked him hard in the chest.  Hard enough to push him backwards onto his behind.  He looked shocked for a moment, and then angry.  “What in the Hells was that for?!”  She ignored him as she finished slipping her shirt on and began looking for her pants.  “If you’re angry because we didn’t do this your way that’s on you.  I didn’t call it off.  You did.  And I was considerate enough to not enact what I wanted from my prize on you.”  Now she did meet his gaze and her lips curled in disgust.
“You think I’m upset because the night didn’t play out the way I wanted?!” she practically growled.  He looked at her completely abashed for a moment before growing defensive.
“I can’t think of any other reason for you to be upset,” he replied coolly.  She stared at him.  There was no true emotion on his face.  Any expression he wore was a mask to cover his callousness.  He was a vampire spawn, she reminded herself.  He didn’t care.  He couldn’t care.  She snatched her pants off the ground and hurriedly pulled them on.  She felt him staring at her as she picked up her discarded pack.  “Ailis…”
“I’m not going to explain something to you that you are incapable of understanding,” she snapped.  “I’ll see you in the morning.”  She moved through the woods until she got back to camp.  She moved to the river and cleaned herself up before going straight to her tent.  Once inside, she up in a ball on her bedroll; her arms wrapped tightly around her knees.  She swore it was the last time she ever let a man make her feel so small, and then she burst into tears.  She promised herself that every time.  She just never learned.

~~~~Maze to the death~~~~
Tumblr media
TW: blood loss, self harm implied, razors, gore, domestic abuse/violence
This is my POV AU of a saw trap that is Alice in wonderland themed
(Currently hyperfixating on saw if you couldn’t tell 🩷)
Your eyes flutter open as you smell stale iron mixed with the filthy dust on the floor, you raise your head weakly and let out a dry hefty cough as if you hadn’t drank water in years. You manage to scramble to your feet, the entire room pitch black. Your leg seems to be in a chain as the rattling of it enthrals panic to course through your body.
“HELLO?” You cry out in frustration and confusion, your voice echoing throughout the empty room.
You pull your leg as a hard as you can but something clicks. The lights turn on and you are faced with a maze, the maze was as tall as the roof, 12 feet you judged. Suddenly there’s static, an old tv flickers on as your met with static and a loud screaming sound. You cover your ears and hunch over in pain, as you look up to the tv again it’s silent, your hands drop from your ears and you stare at the television waiting.
The tv flickers once more and a puppet appears on screen, white skinny face with red swirls on the cheeks, black hair and wearing a suit. He turns to you and just laughs. Laughs. Laughs.
*“Hello y/n. You’re probably wondering where you are, so pay close attention, it may cost you your life. around you is a maze, you must find the exit in the time allotted, simple. As the timer progresses the spikes lining the walls will close in, slowly impaling you until you are unable to move or succumb to your wounds. Which ever comes first. So I suggest you move quickly. You’ve delt your share of pain in your failed relationships, mental and physical, now it is your choice, face the pain you’ve caused the ones you love, or be lost to the maze forever”
The raspy voice spoke and all the images comes flashing back, your ex partner, their bruises, their cuts, their tears. All of it. Caused by you, you begin to feel weak, helpless, sacrificed like a lamb. You pull yourself together and look up as you heard a beeping, there was a timer for 1 minute above your head and your ankle is released from the chain. You realise quickly that you have to move.
You start running towards the maze and are feeling a little more hopeful. You feel you may win, you feel there may be victory. Until.
“AAAAHHH. Shit.” You run into a dead end. Razors blades and spikes cut through your skin like paper. Your blue top being dyed a dark crimson red, you move back slowly and nearly trip over your own feet. Looking back up at the timer. You’re at 45 seconds.
Steadying back on your feet you start moving swiftly and watching out for dead ends, you decide to check the timer again and see that you have 30 seconds. Whilst doing so your abdomen gets impaled by three spikes attached to roses as you scream out in agony. Your bleeding increases as you start to feel weak and breathless. Looking back up. You have 20 seconds.
Continuing on, you see a walkway through the edge of the hedge, your eyes light up as you move quicker and quicker, once more. You are met with another dead end, your ankles and wrists cuttings, displaying your veins, swallowing your scream through gritted teeth you look back at the clock.
Ten seconds.
You see the walkway as you walk quickly towards.
Nine seconds.
The spikes start closing in
Eight seconds.
You’re forced to walk sideways towards the walkway
Seven seconds.
You’re so close.
Six seconds.
The spikes making contact with your shirt
Five seconds.
As you are close to the walkway. Your leg gets caught between the spikes
Four seconds.
You fall and your face makes contact with the concrete floor, skidding your skin against rock.
Three seconds.
The spikes still enclosing in around your ankle you scramble to get both your legs out.
Two seconds.
You only manage. One.
One second.
Your foot is trapped. You lay there in a panicked state.
“I DID IT. I DID IT YOU BASTARD” you scream out in anger.
“LET ME GO” you wiggle your ankle. The spikes penetrating your wound, you feel your foot twitch and cry out in pain. You decide to pull as hard as you can, you put your, now stained crimson red, top in your mouth to bite down on and grab your shin.
You start to pull your leg out of the spikes, the foot being shredded in the meantime. You look away and don’t stop no matter what. Your foot is out. It’s mangled. But it’s out. You hang your head and sigh in relief as you let out a small cry.
“I win…” you breathed out heavily as you crawl over out the walkway and prop yourself up against the wall
*the speech was written by the lovely @lace-coffin !! Yall should check out their stuff!!
Thank you so much for reading and as always! Feel free to request stuff!!! 🩷

Rendezvous
On the eighth day of Tropemas, hyperfixated-gvf gave to me:
A friends to lovers Danny smut where Sam hogs all the garlic bread!
Christmas Song Pairing: “Merry Christmas Baby" by Otis Redding
Trope: Friends to Lovers
~~~
Pairing: Danny Wagner x Reader
Warnings: Language, smut, biting, Danny being unrealistically strong
Words: 4.4k
18+ / MINORS DNI
~~~
You were used to clingy, cuddly, drunk Danny.
But this?
This was not that.
You refused to categorize yourself into the “I fell in love with my unattainable friend” class, because this was the first time (a lie) that you'd ever thought about him in this way, as more that just buds who texted memes to each other and occasionally went out for a drink with the group. You had no problem (another lie) drawing the line at which your feelings stopped. Toe firmly in-line with ‘platonic besties’ and nothing more (which disappointed you).
But here he was, standing with an arm draped around your shoulder, sipping on his first drink - so he obviously wasn't drunk - and chuckling at Sam’s karaoke skills while your head was spinning with questions of ‘why is he acting like this’ and ‘why am I feeling something because of it.’
Danny had showed up at Sam’s Christmas party an hour late, bringing more beer and a couple loaves of the deli garlic bread that Sam had immediately squirreled away for himself instead of putting out with all the other pitch-ins. After he’d made his rounds with the rest of his friends, he’d stuck himself to your side with a long hug and those soft-set doe eyes crinkled up in an easy smile.
That was nearing two hours ago, now. Once your drink had been finished and Danny realized he’d never gotten one in the first place, he surprised you by hooking his pinky with yours and leading you over to the drink table to rectify that. And now, you were both giggling and your palm was ending up on his chest far more frequently than usual and his grip on you tightened every time he thought you might pull away and�� and–
This kind of attention wasn’t usually in the playbook, and you were a little blindsided by the sudden change in both of your characters but were unable to stop bouncing off him – flirting back when he dropped his tone, laughing at jokes that weren’t as funny as your laugh painted them to be, and settling into his side as if you belonged there. 
That’s why you had to do something. When Danny’s thumb slowly brushed over your shoulder and you got goosebumps even through your sweater, you finally slipped away from under his arm while he was distracted. Much to your surprise, he took a swipe at you within seconds of realizing that you’d taken the plunge and he didn’t have an armrest anymore, which you dodged away from. But that didn’t stop him from closing the distance again, trying to get you tucked back into him. “Hey!” he pouted, exaggerating a frown. “Get back here…I was comfortable!” 
His whiny voice produced a disgraceful snort out of you, and you danced further away from his grabby hands, mixing in with the small crowd of drunk partiers cheering on Sam whilst also attempting to force Jake and Jita up on the stage for a duet next.
Everyone was too focused on “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” to pay you and Danny too much attention. Besides, you were trying not to be disruptive, so you kept your giggles (growing more maniacal by the second as adrenaline shot through your veins at Danny’s pursuit) down and led the chase away from everyone else, making it halfway up the stairs before you felt a tug on your shirt.
You’d been caught.
Danny grinned, chuckling as he caught his breath with you, neither of you at the peak of athletic performance in your lives. “Gotcha,” he said smugly, enveloping your wrist in his hand before turning and making to go back to the party.
“Wait,” you said suddenly, resisting his tug. Now that you were in a less crowded space, you weren’t quite so prudent with your words, curiosity coming out in full force. “Let’s stay here a second.”
He stopped and turned, cocking his head as you both stood on a step: you a couple up to be eye-level with him. “Why?” he asked in a stage whisper, obviously still thinking that this was some kind of joke. “The party is out there, and Sam is about to butcher that song, I just know it.”
On cue, Sam’s warble reached where you were hidden away, and Danny laughed, looking back in the direction of the party. “Danny.” 
Danny dragged his attention back toward you, and raised his brows expectantly. “Yes?”
“What’s going on?” You pressed forth, thinking that if you were this far in, you might as well put both feet in the stirrups, because you were already galloping down the road to conclusions faster than you could think to backtrack. “Have you been acting weird on purpose?”
Danny furrowed his brow, his face the epitome of innocent confusion. “Acting weird?” 
Too innocent for one Daniel Wagner.
“Mmmhh.” Somehow you’d drifted closer to the man, and he was leaning in as well, like a sailor to a siren. “You’ve been a very clingy boy tonight.” Straight to the target and bullseye.
You watched as Danny’s mouth dropped open slightly, lips loose and just barely catching the light from the living room and–
And you most definitely were not supposed to pay that close attention to Danny’s lips.
Expecting him to deny it, or perhaps get flustered at the accusation of sorts, the tables turned abruptly on you when he tilted his head once more, keeping his steady gaze trained on your inquisitive features. “Does that bother you?”
You snapped your eyes to his, trying to gauge what kind of response he was looking for. His expression was one of complete curiosity, a small twinkle in his eye that made your heart flutter, even in its current hammering state. “I– I mean…it’s different. I don’t understand it.”
“But does it bother you?” he repeated. Danny didn’t seem all too concerned about getting back to the party, now. Not in the way he was eyeing your mouth, not in the way he took a step up, which forced you to take a step back to maintain proper proximity (for purposes relating to spontaneous combustion) as well, and certainly not in the way he seemed to be toying with you.
“No,” you denied, finding steady footing walking up the stairs backwards as he claimed another step as his own. “I’m just asking.”
Asking. Imploring. Perhaps inviting, with the way you hinted neither at being bothered you were slowly getting closer to the bedrooms nor that you were trying to put an end to the clinginess.
“Well then,” he said with his lopsided smile, picking up the pace for the last small flight before the landing, “do we really need to understand at all, then?”
You gulped, his words igniting a fight or flight response when paired with this predatory prowl up the stairs and away from the cacophony of voices. Except it wasn’t necessarily fight or flight; you knew these feelings turning your tummy upside down and backwards – this was, for all intents and purposes, fuck or flight. Your heel hit the final step onto the landing and caused you to stumble, but not fall; regardless, Danny propelled himself up, ready to catch you. But once you were steady again, you found that he was still looking at you rather playfully, as if your discomposed state amused him to no end.
Danny chuckled, and you tittered with him, a bit in disbelief that this was happening, pace fast but natural. Still using his body to corral you towards the guest bedroom, you couldn’t help but notice the clench between your legs, and dammit it all you were not supposed to find Danny’s physical imposition that hot. Your back hit the door, and Danny followed you in until he had you crowded between the frame, taking a moment to pause before the door opened and all bets were off.
By this time, the speed of your pulse was making you lightheaded, but that also could have been contributed to Danny’s chest brushing yours in nearness, or his soft puffs of breath on the bridge of your nose, or the back of his fingers that caressed your cheek and made you painfully aware of how sensitive every inch of your skin was when it came to Danny. 
“Danny,” you breathed, trembling slightly as your brain tried to keep up with the signals it wanted to send: happy, confused, horny, nervous, petrified – all of it.
His body caged you in against the door, one hand resting on the door knob and the other planted by your head. “Tell me now if you’re okay with this,” he murmured in your ear, the voices from downstairs faint enough it was just garbled background noise. “I just want to hear you say you want me.”
His words sent you spiraling into thinking things you didn’t know you could – not about your best buddy Danny, at least – and with a shaky hand, you pressed your palm to his chest, only to find his heart beating as wildly as yours. 
“I want you,” you said, biting your lip between sentences. “How do you want me?”
Danny groaned, twisting the doorknob harshly, and let you stagger back into the spare room before closing and locking the door. He caught your hand before you could get far, and you found yourself pinned against the door again, this time from the other side and with Danny’s hard erection pressing insistently against your thigh. “Right here, Y/N,” Danny said, stripping his shirt off and fumbling to undo the buttons on yours. “I want you right here with those pretty legs wrapped around my waist and my name in your mouth.”
“You know, I think I’d rather have your tongue first,” you said, not giving him time to respond before you gathered his face in your hands and guided his lips to yours in an intense kiss, skipping past soft and shy and running your tongue along the seam of Danny’s mouth, inviting him out to play. 
It was sufficient enough to distract him from undressing you, and your pants were at your knees when he grabbed your waist instead, using it to pull you even further into his body while he took over the kiss and tilted your neck up at a sharp angle. You gasped when his fingers grazed your throat, and he paused, fingertips lightly pressing into the sides, holding you still as he gave you exactly what you wanted.
But it wasn’t enough; his work left unfinished was realized, and soon you felt exactly what your friend was packing, velvety against the sensitive skin of your bare inner thigh. “Shit, Danny,” you chuckled as best you could with Danny’s lips gliding and caressing your throat as if it were a precious thing worth being worshiped.
Which, to him, perhaps it was.
He hummed, still distracted now that he was discovering your body inch by downward inch. Your collarbones and then lower to your breasts, he let his warm breath fan over the damp skin he left in his wake. "What?" he asked, rather too smugly for your peace of mind.
"Nothing, actually," you huffed, rolling your eyes at his tone, "forget I said anything."
Danny laughed against your breasts, leaving them each with a wet kiss and swirl of his tongue as he kissed down your stomach and said, "Don't be like that, baby."
You blood ran hotter at the nickname so, instead of letting him reach his destination, you yanked him up with your fingers buried into the roots of his hair, hoping that it hurt a little bit.
“Motherfucker,” he hissed, hips twitching into you as you felt him jump. “You just– you had to do that, huh?”
His voice dropped to a guttural growl, and you watched as he fished a condom out of his wallet from the floor. “You liked it,” you rebutted, raising your knee up to his hip once he’d rolled the latex on his cock, thick and long and slightly intimidating. 
Danny apparently wasn’t satisfied with the position, though, and he tapped your ass, gripping it in both hands and tugging you up. “Not liking it wasn’t the problem,” he chuckled in your ear, and you didn’t think you’d ever want him to speak to you again unless he was this close and you could feel the rumble of his words in his chest. “Now get up here. I said I wanted both your legs wrapped around me.”
“Sure you can hold me?” You ran your hand over the muscle of his shoulder, and your mouth began to water. Before he had you cock-drunk and bouncing on his dick, you leaned in and flattened your tongue against the skin, dragging it up to the meat of his shoulder before sinking your teeth in and creating enough suction to give him a big hickey in an unexpected place. “I’ve wanted to do that for a long time,” you admitted once you pulled off, and Danny stared at you with hooded eyes, licking his lips when you met his eyes.
“My shoulders are yours to suck on, then,” he said, an undertone of humor lacing through the words. “But right now, I want you to suck me in, so get up here already. I promise I can hold you.”
Even hesitant as you were, you jumped up as he dug his fingers into the flesh of your ass, then put his hips underneath you for more support. You’d never been fully taken against a wall before; but you were quickly coming to realize that Danny was going to set a standard not many others were going to be able to uphold.
And he’d barely even touched you yet.
“Alright, Y/N,” he said, cocky smirk on his face reading, ‘see, told you.’ “I want you to reach down for me. Drag those little fingers across your clit and get ‘em nice and wet for me, okay?”
He didn’t have the use of his hands – not if you wanted to stay as stable as you felt – but even if he had, you’d still have done everything he asked you to, no second guess about it. “That won't be a problem,” you told him, slipping through the heat at your core and sighing at the small piece of friction you’d earned with your fingers. “You make me so wet.”
You could feel his cock against your hand when he rocked his hips forward, so close to where you wanted him that you decided you were done waiting, turned your hand around to grasp him, and then guided him to your entrance. As soon as you pushed upward with the tip and felt yourself stretch around him, embracing him into your body like a warm, welcoming hug, Danny gasped, then moaned softly as he realized what you’d done. He was unable to help the steady undulation that took him deeper and deeper into you, slowly encasing himself in the constricted warmth and wetness that you offered.
“Oh fuck, babygirl,” he breathed, leaning forward to bump his forehead into yours once he was seated all the way in. “So impatient to get me inside of you– you really want me to fuck you that bad?”
You nodded. “Please, Danny, I need more.” 
And you did. Having him fill you up was so good, but now you were clenching around his thick cock without the ability to do much more than grind on him. It was torture. 
He kissed you shortly, readjusting his grip before snapping even deeper into you and making your breath stutter. “I’ll fuck you nice and good, Y/N. But first I need you to bring your fingers up here,” he requested, and you furrowed your brow. “You’ve interrupted me two times tonight – I’m gonna taste that sweet little pussy one way or another. Now bring ‘em up, let me taste you.”
After letting out a breathy curse, you dipped them to where he was sheathed inside of you and collected some of your slick once more, then brought them up between your faces. You tried not to be embarrassed that you could smell yourself, but the look in Danny’s eye told you that was what he was looking for. 
“Let me taste,” he asked you again, waiting. You brought them to his mouth and he sucked them in, his tongue playing over, across, and between your fingers, cleaning you off before letting your fingers rest between his lips. “Mmm,” he hummed around you, grinning as he watched you wither in embarrassment at his antics. "Just what I needed. I'll be back for more later."
As if that was your payment to start the ride, he pulled his hips back as far as he could while holding you up and jerked your into him when he rebounded back, finally starting to move. 
“Oh god, Danny, finally,” you whimpered against his neck, holding on for dear life as he flexed and pounded you against the door. Although he had to fix his grip multiple times after sliding from sweat and trying to find better purchase, he kept you in the air as he chased his pleasure and brought you yours. “I’ve thought about this before.”
Danny grunted, his unforgiving pace never faltering. “Yeah? “Bout me fucking you through a door?”
“Not this situation specifically, but about you fucking me, yeah.”
Danny grunted, features rapt and tightly controlled as he kept his movements together and steady. Just the look of him concentrating so hard was sexy - you wanted to know if it was different in the throes of pleasure, or better. “Tell me more later. We’ll make it all a reality,” he promised, not up for more conversation as it took his focus away.
Your hips hit the door with how hard he collided into you at times, making a very obvious, rhythmic thumping sound that you prayed couldn’t be heard downstairs. God, you were going to have the gnarliest bruises in the morning. Even if the party could hear over the music, you weren’t going to be able to find it in yourself to care right now, not when Danny’s dick was hitting spots in this position you didn’t know existed. But once you were off the ride and back into your head, you knew you’d be humiliated if it came about in conversation.
Danny surged in to kiss you sloppily, teeth and tongues and open mouths to draw in deep pants this far into sex. “What do you need, Y/N?” he strained against your lips, arms shaking from the exertion that originated at his core from burying himself into you again and again and again. “I’m almost there, what do you need?”
You reached down and felt where he was sliding inside of you, his cock brushing your fingers every time he pulled out and then desperately shoved himself back in. “I’ll get it. Just– just keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll touch myself for you,” you said against his neck, salt and sweat on your tongue. “Do you feel it?”
“Yes– I– shit.” Danny’s breath was deep and woven with grunts that came out every time he slid in, and it created a symphony of low, guttural noises that were music to your ear. It was a reminder of his rhythmic prowess, the way you felt him and heard him at the same time. Like he was presenting his supporting argument, despite the fact that you weren’t debating.
“I think I’m in love with the noises you make,” you whispered, the scent of his hair products filling your nose as you clutched him close with one arm, the other still working furiously at your clit to ride the waves of pleasure higher and higher. “Don’t hold back, Danny. I’m almost there.”
“I’m cumming, Y/N– oh shit, shit, shit, shit,” he croaked out, voice high and soaked in pleasure. Danny returned your earlier favor and bit down on your shoulder with a broken moan as he came nearly on command, hips pitching into you frantically as he gave you all he had, and then kept rocking softly as he came down.
Your orgasm was nipping at his heels. With the combined powers of your fingers drawing circles over yourself and Danny still keeping your full, you squeaked out a small, “Ah!” as you came and jerked your hips on Danny’s length to ride out the convulsions it brought on. 
“I’m gonna let you down,” Danny panted, chest heaving from where you had a birds-eye view. "Hold on."
Your feet touched the ground, and you almost crumbled – the only thing saving you from Danny’s smugness was the fact that he seemed to be struggling to stay on his feet as well. “Bed?” you suggested.
But Danny slumped naked against the door, sliding down to sit on the plush carpet. “I think I might just take a rest right here,” he sighed, tugging your down with him.
You tried not to shriek, and ended up letting out a half-cut off 'meep!' as he wrangled you onto your back. How he still had the energy, you weren't sure. But as tired as you were, you weren't about to close your eyes when he wrapped his hand lightly around your throat. Whether it was because he liked the way it looked or because of your reaction to it earlier, you weren't sure.
"But first, I think I'm a little hungry." He kept his hand unmoving until it began to hinder him as he pushed your thighs apart, spreading you out and exposing your glistening entrance to him. "There it is," he murmured, thumbing your lips apart for more access. "You can get up when I'm finished eating."
"Oh god, Danny," you whined, realizing that the night wasn't over yet. You dropped your knees further apart and welcomed Danny between them, even when you couldn't still feel the pulse of your heartbeat down there.
He dove right in, connecting his lips to yours like he'd entered a hands-free mango-eating competition, and you tried to quiet your moans, hums, and keens, but you knew you weren't doing a very good job of it. You were still sensitive from the first time you came, and Danny's tongue, dancing around your cunt and lapping up all your slick until you no longer felt like someone had popped a water balloon inside you, had you tightening and clenching; you just weren't sure if you had another one in you.
After a couple of minutes spent with his mouth on you, tongue moving in waves with an occasional direct flick to your clit, Danny looked up at you with a feral grin. "All clean. Do you think you can cum again?"
You stroked the crown of his head and shrugged. "Probably if I tried. But...I think I'd rather just cuddle now, and you can get me off again in the morning."
Danny chuffed at your planning skills and enthusiastically agreed, wiggling up your body for the time being. You realized he'd never taken the condom off when his soft dick brushed your thigh so, looking down to guide your work, you stroked him from base to tip, pinching the latex at the end so that you wouldn't have a mess on your hands, and gently put it on the ground next to you.
"Okay big boy," you said in his ear, patting his shoulders where they rested on tip of you. "I have to go pee. Girl things, you know."
"I'll be here," he mumbled, lazily rolling off of you and onto the carpet again.
Your brow quirked up as you found your panties and slipped them on, making a quick trip to the bathroom before grabbing a tissue for the condom. “Was I that heavy?” you teased when you came back out and found Danny nodding off, knowing that no matter how much you weighed, holding someone up whilst fucking them was a workout for anyone.
“Hell no, babygirl,” he snorted as he woke up, shuffling around so that he was sitting against the wall before leaning his head back and closing his eyes once more, “you were perfect. That’s just the hardest I’ve ever had to work for my orgasm– I’ve never done that before.”
“Well then, I’m glad I could be one of your firsts,” you sighed, joining him on his apparently preferred surface of the ground and leaning your head onto his shoulder. 
You stayed that way until the air around you became heavy and lax, and by the sound of the door shutting every so often downstairs, the party was winding down and sleep was imminent for everyone.
Picking up Danny’s hand, you asked him, “Are you staying here for the night?” knowing that he spent a lot of time at Sam’s anyways. You wouldn’t be surprised if this was the exact room he always stayed in.
He hummed in confirmation, then pulled you closer, tugging you far enough that you eventually just curled up in his lap like a cat. “Yeah. And you are, too,” he mumbled, wrapping those long arms around your legs and torso to get you as close as you could possibly be. Nosing at your hairline, he got a quick assurance. “Right?”
“Yeah.” If you could get some food or something, that would be fantastic – you always got after-sex munchies, and you were sure Danny knew where Sam hid all his goodies. And speaking of hiding goodies–
“...Do you want to go and find that garlic bread that Sam hid?” you asked into the silence, and Danny perked up at the mention of actual food.
“Abso-fucking-lutely, I do,” he said, wide awake now that he’d been reminded of the snacks he’d brought. “I can’t believe he didn’t put that out, the greedy fucker.”
You both threw on some clothes and then peeked out of the room, the landing still dark. But there was no conversation coming from downstairs, so you both figured Sam had crashed, as well, and quietly creeped back down the stairs, avoiding one creaky step, and then snuck hand-in-hand to the kitchen.
Which happened to be where Sam sat at the counter, munching on the garlic bread. Quite literally taking mouthfuls out of the full-sized loaf, no regard for social norms at all, as he completed the picture with a shit-eating grin on his face between chews. “Why hello there, strangers. Where did you all disappear off to?”

Rosegate Masterpost
I talk way too much about this theory so I figured I might as well make a list of all the posts that I consider relevant and important so nobody has to slave through my blog for context. Turned out to be way too fucking LONG though. RIP to you I guess (please read about this theory please please please *gives you the biggest wettest saddest eyes*).
Really the only purpose of this post is to pin it.
Anyways. All the information is under cut:
Basic Summary: The basic premise is that the Wheelers are connected to the Creel home somehow. However since the similarities (as you will see in the post links that I am sharing below) seem to be with the objects that were in the Creel home before the Creels even moved into Hawkins in 1959 (eg. the grandfather clock, the wheelchair, the wedding dress, the rose wallpaper, etc etc) it seems that the Wheelers actually may be connected to the home in a way that may not be related to the Creels themselves at all. Now, every guy and their mother knows all the Karen theories out there so hey why not throw out a Ted theory ya know spice it up a bit.
This theory? The Creel home is Ted's childhood home- *gets boo-ed off the stage*.
This show is for Freaks and Weirdos so I'm 100% in the right for being a Freak and Weirdo who hyperfixates on this lol.
Now more seriously, not only are there the parallels to the Creel home, but also this theory surrounds an urn that has been sitting on the Wheeler mantle place since s1. This urn is decorated with pink flowers (could possibly be roses), which is not only a repeated design in the Creel home itself (the rose door being particularly important), but it also in the Wheeler home: the upstairs/ dining room wallpaper and the variety of other fake urns-vases around the Wheeler dining room that have rose designs on them. And yeah this could all be a coincidence, but the show all but confirms the urns significance when they intentionally switched it out with a different urn in the ST4 climax.
Other usage of rose symbolism can be found particularly surrounding female characters- and even more smaller in scope is the reoccurring motif of the Blonde Mother (tm) whom are also associated with roses *eyes The Urn again*. When looking at the similarities at how these female characters are dressed you start to notice that there are certain trends- pink/white/blue color scheme, certain hair styles, and jewelry. Which is why I believe that Rosemary's Baby may be a huge inspiration for this ("Rose" Robin aka her fake identity in Penthurst being my favorite because literally- Rose Wheeler Weaver). Given that Holly is a blonde to two brunette parents its not a stretch to believe that Ted had a blonde mother who's urn sits on that mantle place. There are multiple gags in s3 made about a "nana" who has cancer and I just think its veryyy interesting that one of the things that Victor pays particular close attention to in the attic is an old wheelchair. Anyways, think of this as a "haunting the narrative" sort of thing.
Also Rosemary's Baby is a classic horror movie literally about forced female conformity in the 20th century, so I find it really hard to believe that it would be left out of the show that is literally a period piece about conformity. So if you see me referring to "rosemary" or "rosemary wheeler" I'm talking about dead blonde nana in that urn.
Also The Shining is on the ST4 inspo board and I wrote a bit about how the Creel & Wheeler homes may have been inspired by the Overlook hotel. Not only that but The Shining possibly being a huge influence since S1 and all the stuff that comes with that including themes of abusive cycles in families and supernatural manipulation (detailed in the posts below).
This could also be related to by Mike seems to be able to sense El in the void despite not being supernatural as far as we know- especially since Nancy and Holly (I mean Holly is a bit weird too but imo not like Mike) are not shown to have a sense for the void like Mike. Mike and Ted are repeatedly paralleled throughout the show via clothing and scenes.
The crux of this theory is very metaphorical as a lot of it is about using visuals to portray generational cycles (hence Mike-Ted parallels which I don't really get into on here but its all over my blog just search up either character or mike-ted or whatever key word).
This summary is a bit of a mess and I'm pretty sure I've missed a lot but whatever. Please feel free to drop any questions in my inbox I'll be so happy to answer them.
It would not be fair if I don't give credit to @boysdontcryboycry as the co-founder of this theory because they do So Much and they're Great!!

Something I never see people talk about (which could be because I simply haven't come across it) is how rough forming a new hyperfixation can be, especially a core hyperfixation.
I've loved Star Trek for years. But for whatever reason, it wasn't until a couple years ago that something in my brain *clicked* and it became a new core hyperfixation.
In some ways it was better than past such hyperfixations because there is so much Star Trek out there to consume, between shows and films and then the fandom content because this fandom has been alive and well for over 50 years, gave birth to modern fandom.
But that didn't change the fact that, for the ensuing six months, it consumed my life - and not in the fun, tongue-in-cheek way we say 'this fandom consumes my life', like semi-hyperbole.
When I say it consumed my life, I mean it was near non-stop hyperfocus for months.
My apartment was constantly a mess, same as my sense of time. My sleep schedule was constantly erratic. I was often dehydrated, had frequent headaches, often found myself shaking from all the adrenaline surges. I dropped fifteen pounds almost without noticing (weight I shouldn't have dropped).
I was always drained, always disoriented, always distracted. It didn't feel good. Really, it felt distinctly bad, and I felt completely out of control to make it stop. If I made myself ignore the media and fic and fan art and all of that, it just meant I sank into myself, got lost in my head for hours on end.
After the first two months it began to gradually, slowly ease up, and when I hit around six months it stopped feeling like I was being dragged along and started to feel the way I want when it comes to hyperfixations - it was fun, mood-boosting. Engaging with it improved my mental health, instead of causing it, along with my physical health, to deteriorate.
That was probably the worst 'epsiode' I've had, but I've had them several times. The one when I developed the Daredevil hyperfixation thankfully lasted only two months, same as when it was FMA:B and BBC Merlin, and...three months, I think, for Star Wars? The one that got closest was Smallville, my first fandom hyperfixation, though I imagine some of that had to do with it coming out when I first had regular internet access. That one was maybe four or five months, and was dragged out by the fact that I was in high school so I was 'forced' away from it all by the anxiety of college applications and AP exams and all that fun stuff.
I love having these things. They've been good for me, for my emotional welfare - have helped me survive so much. I never regret that initial rough aspect, not that I've ever had the power to do things differently.
But it is rough, and one of the aspects of neurodivergence I've had the most trouble explaining to neurotypical people. They see it as simple obsession or addiction, something that I fell into and need to take steps to pull myself out of, rather than something that my brain just does at the drop of a hat and which won't stop until I go through that process. Trying not to, trying to mitigate it, just ends up dragging that process out. It can't be reduced or bypassed. It's just part of how my brain works.
And people trying to interfere with that, to 'fix' that by making me pay attention to other things, giving me tasks, whatever it may be - it does nothing to change it. If anything, it makes the whole thing much more destabalizing, in ways that can have major consequences for my state of mind, and I've had the experiences to prove it.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, but I just...wanted to put it out there. I think there can be shame attached to this reality - shame I've felt, and which I've come to recognize originates from neurotypical social expectations and a lack of understanding.
If this is something you've dealt with and have been shamed for, I hope this post can give you some comfort. It isn't a failing, isn't deviant, isn't indulgent. It just is, and you aren't bad or broken or weak because of it.

How long have Ben and kadiff been dating? Last I heard ben was going through a divorce with mark which seemed pretty sudden and strange. I've always thought they were cute together. I really wanna know what went wrong and at the same time I'm so happy for Ben rn cause he seems really comfortable happy and I'm dying to know about all the details in regards to his new relationship with kadiff
putting this under a read more to save the normal/non-nosey parts of the fandom from seeing this slightly stalkerish post
tbh with you, the break up wasn't strange or sudden, you're just normal so you weren't paying attention to the minutia of a celeb's life the way losers with hyperfixations were. i'm very happy for you, really.
anyway, the break up happened in three stage: The Separation (2019), The Split (2020), and The Divorce (2022ish).
ben and mark had already been living separately for 6 months when the pandemic came along and forced them back into the same household as a lockdown bubble. (idk how long you've been in this fandom, but at the time we were all soooo shocked they went into lockdown together because we thought The Separation™️ was a split lol). The Split™️ happened pretty shortly after that. by october that year ben was no longer hiding the break up in interviews, but didn't want to talk about it other than saying "i survived it".
idk what caused the initial separation, but during the separation period there were a few rumours circulating in the uk theatre scene about mark' cheating 's behaviour (whether or not things like rumours/blind items are legit is another convo i think lol). "i survived it" does deffo make it seem like it wasn't a happy break, as well as a later interview where ben's asked about his marriage and instead deviates to talk about james & kerri and how unselfish their marriage is (with the implication being his marriage was selfish).
but let's be real, unless ben has a personality transplant and starts doing personal life interviews we'll probably never know for certain haha. mark certainly isn't talking about it.
ben and kadiff were already industry acquaintances (they were both in queers [2017] and met at the table read) and move in the same social circles thanks to overlapping friends like andrew. i'm 99.999% certain they started off as just a fun no-strings fling, then got a little more serious in that little window of non-lockdown in summer 2020 💀💀💀 which is why they were so on-and-off and messy to begin with (we don't talk about the 2019 era, let my boy have his slutty rebound era in peace!!!). they had a few stops and starts like that before starting Dating Properly after they filmed TIGTH in 2021. they didn't go official (or as near to official as ben ever gets without his agent putting out wedding press releases) until after the daily mail broke The Divorce™️ news, at which point kadiff stopped hiding ben on his own social media. now we get the occasional exciting flash of elbow, or hair, or the back of ben's head. hooray!
for example:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but yeah, you're completely right that they seem really happy and ben's a lot more laid back these days. idk whether it's aging or the relationship or what, but he's clearly a lot more comfortable in his own skin compared to like 2017. i don't think people new to the fandom realise just how much of a big bag of neuroticism he used to be sjfhsjhfs. it's nice to see. i feel like a proud mother (ignore the fact i am a childless lesbian in my 30s).

Close.
I’m currently hyperfixated on Ross and I HAD to write this idea I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH LIKE ID COMMIT SO MANY CRIMES FOR HIM AND MOREE!!!!
I’ll show an art piece me and a friend at school worked on sometime, plus the image we based it off of! But for now here’s a lil fic since I love him ❤️❤️ *hyperfixates*
Pairing: Ross x Male Reader Content: reader is obv around the same age (not specified what age), 2nd pov (will try 3rd pov sometime soon), morning cuddles, just pure fluff with my favourite boy <;3 Summary: You and the hatzgang are hanging out until it gets dark. Everyone has to leave, but Ross invites you to have a sleepover at his place, since his mom isn’t home. Proofread: Mostly.
That cold fall air breezed around your face and ears, you noticed it was getting chillier everyday. But when you were with your friends, you always felt warm inside, like you were cared for. Ross, Roy, and Robert were your only friends at the moment. They were pretty cool, you were transferred to their school about a year ago and you all have been best friends since then. But Ross seemed to have caught your heart. Just every time you looked him in the eye… you were like a deer in headlights. Staring into those deep dark eyes that gave you comfort.
“Y/n? Y/n! Did you hear me?” Roy looked up at you expectantly, his arms crossed and a frown on his face along with furrowed brows. Robert was leaning against the slide at the playground, while Ross sat on one of the steps. You were standing idly in the middle of them while Roy talked off about something you weren’t paying attention to…
Shoot, you were zoning out again.
“Uh- yeah, yeah.” You responded quickly.
“Good. So when?”
“What? When what?” Roy sighed dramatically as he stomped his foot on the ground, clearly frustrated. “When are you allowed to go out for trick or treating with us?! Gosh, you never listen!”
Oh, so that’s what he was talking about. “Oh- sorry man, uh, my parents said that I’m allowed to go out at 7.” You stuffed one of your hands in your pockets as you scratched the back of your neck with the other.
“Good! Now you better come trick or treating with us!” Roy whined. You internally sighed, you were really tired and spacing out… you feel like you could just collapse right now.
“Okay, so I’ve gotta go home now before my mom gets mad. I’ll see you guys later.” Roy started to walk off.
“Hey, I’ve gotta get going too, but it was nice hanging out with you guys.” Robert grabbed his skateboard and started to follow Roy the way back to his house.
“Well… guess it’s just us then.” You said to Ross, shifting your gaze towards him. “Yeah, guess so…” There was a long pause before you sat down next to him on the metal steps.
“So.. what’s been on your mind lately?” Ross tilted his face slightly towards you. “Hm?”
“You’ve been.. zoning out a lot, this week.” You rested your wrists on your knees. “Oh, I dunno, just been really tired I guess..” In that moment, your eyes felt extremely heavy.
“You wanna come sleepover at my place? My mom is gonna be working pretty late tonight.” You looked at him, almost being captivated by his looks. “Oh.. yeah, of course. My parents are gone too. I mean, uh, they’re just busy..” Ross smiled softly at that. “Great. Wanna go now?”
You nodded as he got up and started walking towards his house, you trying to keep the same pace as him. You two talked all the way about whatever you were gonna do or homework until you finally got to his house 15 minutes later.
Stepping into his cozy house and kicking your shoes off, it was way better than being out there. You settled down on his couch and immediately felt sleepy, a force pulling your body to the soft leather couch. Ross kept most of the lights off, except for a lamp next to the couch.
He turned on his PS4 and sat next to you, grabbing the controller and selecting a game. “You can fall asleep while I play video games, if you want.” You yawned in response. “Sounds good..” You leaned your body into him as he shifted into a comfortable position.
“If you ever get scared or something, you can always come to my room..” He said a bit sheepishly. But in response you nodded, folding your arms and leaning back in your hoodie as you slowly drifted off in just a few minutes, the background noise of the tv playing in the distance…
You opened your eyes slowly to see darkness. You rubbed your eyes and sat up, trying to look around the room. It was a little dark to see, but you noticed the lamp next to the couch and switched it on. You tried to remember what happened...
Right, your at Ross' house. You were watching him play video games before you went to sleep. But you weren't lying down? Maybe he just put you in a more comfortable position. Didn't matter though, you needed to know what time it was.
It clearly wasn't morning yet, but now you felt like you couldn't go back to sleep, so you remembered what Ross said.
"You can always come to my room.." Now you were tempted to. But you didn't really wanna bother him. Then again, Ross is super chill, especially around you. You said why not and walked upstairs to his room.
Walking up to his door, you were nervous, but slowly creaked it open. "Ross?" You softly called out. The response you got was a "Mmh?" You felt bad for waking him, but you couldn't sleep.
"Can I uh, can I sleep with you?" You couldn't see his face but you could see the outline of him sleeping, just barely. Everything was dark.
"Yeah, of course." He sounded more awake but still tired. You just said a soft 'thanks' and walked towards his bed, and pulled yourself under the blanket.
You woke up to a strange warmth, opening your eyes to the sun glaring in your eyes through bedroom curtains. It must’ve been early. You looked around to see Ross next to you, cuddling up to you.
You were flustered, to say the least - you didn’t know why you were enjoying the closeness of him. Were you..crushing on Ross?
You never really thought of it like that. Maybe in the back of your mind sometimes, but you never saw yourself with Ross. But your heart warmed at the thought of it.
But.. would he ever be interested in you? You didn’t even know if he was into guys, you never asked, nor did he tell you, but now you felt like you needed to know.
You guys never really talked much about this kind of stuff, but now you sort of wish you had. For now though, you decided to embrace this moment, and hold Ross close until you fell back asleep.
Waking up once again, Ross was shifting beside you, him clearly awake. He wasn’t holding onto you anymore, still really close but his arms were no longer around you.
You secretly longed for his touch, but stayed quiet about it, sitting up and stretching before turning to Ross.
“Morning.” You said. He smiled at you. “Good morning.” He said back in a groggy voice. He also got up and stretched before hopping off the bed, walking towards his bedroom door.
“Want breakfast?” You nodded in response and got up along with him, following him downstairs. Walking into the kitchen and sitting on one of the chairs at the table, he asked if you wanted waffles.
You obviously said yes (who wouldn’t?/j) and munched on some together. After breakfast was finished, Ross asked when you wanted to leave.
“My parents will be home late, I’ll stay for a bit til we can hang out with Roy and Rob.” He nodded in response.
“You wanna listen to some Korn in my room? Just.. chill?” You smiled and nodded, following him upstairs.
The two of you spent the next hour relaxing in his room as he played Korn songs on his stereo. You enjoyed his company, and he enjoyed yours.
For now, you were fine with just how you were. But maybe one day you’d tell him about your feelings? It was nothing to worry about right now. For now you could just relax with him.
- - -
I was listening to Korn while writing the last bit of this so I just decided to add it in somehow lol. Got longer than I expected but I’m kinda proud of it. May have gotten a little worse towards the end, but it’s all good.
Part 2? :)

Hi I just wanted to tell you how much I love and admire your fic!! Ive been reading it all day and can't seem to put it down. I skipped going out tonight so I could keep reading it. I love love love the world you created: I feel like I can really see Coventry. And you've just absolutely nailed the characters' voices, but you're also fleshing them out in a way the show never will. Your story feels like a safe, warm hug. I love the references to therapy, all the queer characters, and the attention you pay to the cops' shitty and discriminatory behaviour. You also write like a film theory grad student. Either you have a couple of degrees in this, or you've done a huge amount of research. Thank you for all the work you've poured into this fic!! It has made my day, and I just want you to know that I'm getting a huge amount of joy out of it.
SO MANY LOVELY COMPLIMENTS SKSJDJFKJFKSKD Thank you so much! I'm flattered that you skipped having a night life one evening for my lil' old fanfic. One of my favorite parts of writing is world building, creating a place that feels lived in, with a history and physical presence that is just as interesting to inhabit as the story itself is to follow. And in order to do that, I couldn't shy away from the social realities of what the characters might face, which, by nature of the canon, the show is able to poke at but never really forces us to sit with. Part of the joy of fic for me is getting to go to those darker places that the show can't or won't. I love that, in spite of all this, the fic still feels like a warm hug to you!
I'm laughing at the film theory grad student comment; my background is in mental health, but I have one of those kinds of brains where I absorb information like a sponge about a wide range of things. Film analysis is one of those areas where I've spent far too many hours watching YouTube video essays, reading the AVClub pre-Gawker media era, and in general being fascinated by and learning as much as I can about the art of filmmaking. Laszlo got good use out of the last 10+ years of a hyperfixation. In another life I might have gone that direction, who knows! If I ever get a novel published and they adapt it to film, I will be in the writer's room if they let me 🤣
Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope to get the last few chapters out soon 😊

What got you so invested into the Two-Brains aka Bojack Mouseman and Becky? And like what kinds of aus/stories/concepts do u have for them (is very aware of them all but still wants ro hear em)
Tumblr media
ALRIGHT LETS DO THE THING
Okay first off I tend to get really hyperfixated on funny things that I can sandbox in, so wordgirl was bait for me ngl. Like it has so much potential for really messy, angsty bullshit I can explore while still being entertaining
My brain latched on to Becky because I love the idea of a kid's show main character canonically cramming lessons down other character's throats. It's so funny. Also she's really cute and sweet and acts like a lot of the little kids I work with
I also have a track record with being absolutely OBSESSED with like a broken/toxic mentorship trope, (see also Sunset Shimmer and Princess Celestia, Jinx and Silco, you get the picture) and when I was getting into this fandom and I re-learned the whole backstory behind Steven and people saying he was like her teacher and the whole deal with the Superhero's and You book I was done for.
Like dude this is exactly the kind of thing I LOVE and there was not enough content of it, so here I am, making my own needlessly overthought content. Also he's in a prime position to turn Becky to the dark side and I just, ksjdhflsjfk
RANDOM PERSONAL CONCEPTS I THINK ABOUT WITH THEM:
Becky does her best to not think about him because she's got debilitating "black and white" disease. She was taught to see good v evil and lives by that, but slowly as she gets older that worldview cracks, and she's forced to confront her own complicating emotions regarding him that she'd been suppressing for so long
Twobrains also does his best to not think about her AND the rest of his past life because parallels, but when he does get reminded of it all he feels an overwhelming and uncomfortable guilt. He hates that guilt more then whatever Squeaky will do to him, and kinda just passively allows Squeaky to shock him back into crime-brain
Twobrain's petty Jealousy he gets when Wordgirl is paying attention to other villains like in the episodes with Victoria and Steve Mcclean was there at first with Miss Power, but it was intensified because she positioned herself as a mentor. That jealousy quickly faded when he saw who Power truly was, because he trusted that WG would eventually come to her senses, it was just a matter of when.
Becky tells the henchmen to make DTB eat regular food sometimes on the downlow just so he doesn't shrivel up and die
Becky is 100% more athletic then Twobrains but he's better at specific skill-based sports and it drives her INSANE
Becky goes to him for help on random shit in exchange for cheese. She seems to suddenly go deaf when Huggy reminds her that she can ask literally ANYONE ELSE for help on this specific thing
Twobrains really really wants her to be impressed with his evil schemes. I know this one is canon but I needed to emphasize it

Oh Klahoma
I have been listening for it for quite a while, hello new hyperfixation, and here is a line by line analysis of the lyrics. Because I can.
TW: the theory is about child abuse, bullying and potential suicide.
Set the phasers to rot So. Star Trek reference. Oldschool and nostalgic stuff, at least I think this is what this is implying. It feels like the singer - not Jack, the character who is singing - is mourning childhood, which feels like it's eroding, rotting.
What has got you distraught? It's negative attention at best But call it nothing
I think he talks to his old, childhood self who didn't get too much positive attention, probably because their parents were neglectful and abusive, or bullying. I think being bullied would make more sense in this context, because often the adults tell kids to treat it as nothing.
Maybe its something, a little bit, a little bit Maybe its something, do a little bit, a little bit A moment of oh yeah, the things that happened to me during childhood were actually awful.
It's all about ascension, I guess As in ascension beyond the hurt. Putting trauma behind you. Notice how he uses grandiose language and turns his attention to ascension immediately after he (barely) admitted to himself he had issues.
Don't put me to rest The inner child's response. They beg the singer to please, please, please notice them, pay attention to them. Please, fix the issues. Please, fix the pain.
Go on and hand me your clothes This is probably meant as a sex thing, but I am choosing to interpret it as you either grew out of them, or you played in mud again. Or clothes are symbolic: the singer is trying to shed either their past self, or something that covers up how they really are.
Take a picture or two This reminds me of those photo albums with childhood pictures.
I can see you Recurring theme in Jack's work. I think the neglected inner child gets this said to them, as self-comfort.
Tears falling down at the party Saddest little baby in the room Fears! Tell me fears! Don't get me started I get a little grey hair for every scare you share After the singer finally chose to see the inner child, and their own pain, the inner child is finally able to cry, to release. And now, since they started to unearth the past hurt and pain, the fears and anxieties start to come up.
Those aren't meant to bend No, those aren't meant to bend
Those aren't meant to bend No, those aren't meant to bend The child's boundaries, limits, the child themselves, maybe even physically. I think they were forced to carry much more than they should have, and this brings things like support beams bending in mind. (This made sense in my head.)
I hear your eyes And I see those cries I hear those eyes And I see those cries I can't be the only one who hears you This. This makes me think that the crying person is not physically at the party, partially because of hearin eyes and seeing cries is weird at best, and partially because "I can't be the only one who hears you". Often, these kind of experiences are so strong and overwhelming you feel like other people must see and hear you too. And often, they don't.
<insert bunch of repeating lyrics>
Fears! Tell me fears! Don't get me started I might die
Well. This is because facing your fears is fucking overwhelming, and it can feel like dying. Maybe the singer did die, and committed suicide, maybe they just felt very very bad for a while.

I think one of my most recent hyperfixations is that of @ajmarekart on Twitter's Murphy & Mitzi cartoon series. Specifically, I thought it'd be cool to make a superhero AU out of it because doing that is fun :U I figured a superhero AU would be fitting for this since it already takes place in a big city, and cartoons of the early 2000s often had superhero episodes, so I figured 'why not?'
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So basically their origins as heroes came of course, ENTIRELY by accident and it involved an incident at an energy drinks factory. basically: untested formula for energy drink + HUUUGE amounts of radiation = chain reaction resulting in extraordinary powers. Naturally this means the kids decide to become superheroes, because when they're given the ability to fly, immense strength and a handful of other abilities at their disposal, it's only natural that they'd dress up in tights and show off how super they are. Zoe's mostly just there to make sure the other kids, um, behave. She's also the leader of The Squad, the team they're all in.
Tumblr media
But of course, with such fantastic powers there's only a matter of time before these kids realize that they'll have to both A. keep their double life a secret from everyone (though their parents find out pretty much immediately) and B. use their powers only for good. Of course with these kids being juvenile delinquents they end up bending the rules a little, using their powers for their own gain and sneaking them in when nobody's paying attention in their civilian lives. It's a bit hard to keep such an amazing secret a, well, SECRET when their plans for relaxing are interrupted by YET ANOTHER superhero emergency forcing them to change into their hero identities, flying off to save the day yet again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Being that they're superheroes now, they'll have to respond to a lot more emergencies, deal with things such as fans wanting the autographs of the kids' super alter egos 24/7, people that they've pushed the wrong way creating supervillain identities out of spite and an evil CEO of an energy drink corporation wanting to outright buy out the heroes' likenesses just so they're forced to promote his new flavor of energy drink.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They also have a pretty interesting rogues gallery, mostly consisting of people they've wronged or unintentionally upset who just so managed to have obtained powers of their own. There's also the occasional rogue computer or person just causing havoc for the lolz.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's also the whole thing about The Squad not being the only heroes around, their parents actually kind of trusting them even with the whole 'their kids are secretly superheroes' thing, (especially lucky for Murphy since his mother's a newscaster) and a bunch of other stuff. It's actually pretty well-developed for an AU as bizarre as this. Anyways I'd like to thank @ajmarekart again for giving me the basis for making this AU a thing. His work's really good, you should honestly check it out! It's really cool stuff.
