I’ve been feeling bad because I haven’t been able to create anything since becoming pregnant. then I remembered I’ve created a whole human being so I think that’s a valid excuse for not writing fanfiction for a couple months

Always room for seconds (dp x dc)
"There they go again," says Aunt Alicia as she looks at the hazmat-clad backs of her sister and her husband jumping into their mish-mash-of-a-van. "And on Thanksgiving too," she finishes to herself as she turns toward her niece and nephew. Neither of them look surprised, though Jazz is clearly more affected if the tick in her jaw is any indication.
"They promised," she practically spits but Danny just sighs and puts a hand on her shoulder. It seems to draw the fight out of Jazz a bit and she sags onto herself.
Alicia loves her sister but she can be so irresponsible sometimes.
"Come on kids, let's go back inside. It's about time to put the turk-" she stops short, then groans. Maddie had insisted on bringing the turkey on account of not wanting Alicia to go to all the trouble, and Alicia had agreed on the condition that her sister wouldn't try to make it. "...And the turkey is still in the van isn't it?"
Danny makes a face. "It's probably for the best. I'm pretty sure I saw it move on the way here."
Alicia doesn't let her head fall into her hands, but only just. Instead, she takes a deep breath to calm herself down to rally her thoughts. "Alright. It'll be too late by the time we drive to town and buy a new raw one, so we can just get some already made from the store. That good for you guys?"
Jazz and Danny make sounds of assent before all three of them pile up in the car. Town isn't too far away, and the trip is mostly silent. Alicia is hesitating over what to say to cheer up her niece and nephew. In the end, they pull up to the grocery store before she manages to come up with anything.
"Dad was also supposed to bring desert," Jazz mentions as she grabs a caddie and wheels it back to them.
"I made apple pie just in case," Alicia answers. Despite her dislike for him, she can admit that Jack Fenton is a generous man. However, as she has learned over the years, that generosity doesn't extend to fudge. Which is why she's got her famous apple pie ready to pop into the oven.
Danny nods relieved, as he files in behind his sister. The three of them are rolling past the frozen section when a familiar voice cuts through the store music.
"Alicia?"
At that, Alicia looks up to see the face of one and only Martha Kent. Her lips stretch into a smile unconsciously at the sight.
"Martha, hi," she answers as the other woman starts walking closer. "How are you?"
"I'm good," the other woman says as she stops in front of them. "Just doing some last-minute shopping." Then Martha looks to Danny and Jazz and gives them a smile. "And who might these two be?"
"This is Jazz and Danny," Alicia introduces them, "my niece and nephew. They're spending Thanksgiving up at the cabin with me."
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Martha says sincerely. "You left your sister and her husband in charge of the turkey, then?" She winks.
Alicia winces. "Ah, not exactly."
"They had a work emergency," Jazz says, unhappy.
Martha lets out a sympathetic oh.
"That's why we're here," Alicia explains. "They left with the turkey without realizing, so we'll have to settle for store-bought this year."
Martha makes a noise of sympathy before her face shifts into something more pensive. "You know," she starts. "I've got a big turkey at home and there's only going to be my son and me to eat it. If you guys would like, we'd love to have you over to help us with it."
"Oh we couldn't possibly-" Alicia starts to protest but Martha takes a step forward and takes her hands.
"You'd be doing us a favour," Martha says, her hands still into Alicia's as she looks up earnestly at the redhead. And damn it all because Alicia can feel a blush spreading on her cheeks at that.
"Alright," Alicia says, too flustered to argue.
Martha squeezes her hands once before letting go and Alicia can't help but miss the warmth of them. "Then it's settled."
"Alright," repeats Alicia. "We'll have to swing back home, though. I made pie."
"That's wonderful!" Martha's smile is radiant and it makes something in Alicia's chest warm.
She disguises it with a cough before speaking up. "Is six thirty too early for you?"
"It's perfect. We'll be waiting for you then," Martha says. "And for your sister and her husband too, if they manage to tear themselves away from work."
"That's not likely," mumbles Danny under his breath. Uncharacteristically, Jazz doesn't say anything about her brother's manners, only putting her own hand on his shoulder. Martha catches Alicia's eye and they exchange a look.
"Well, we'll be glad to have you three, anywho," Martha states firmly which gets her a hesitant smile from Jazz.
Alicia clears her throat. "We'd better get going if we want to be ready in time."
"Oh yes," Martha agrees. "I have to make sure the turkey's not burning." Then she winks, and for some reason, Alicia can feel that pesky blush coming back. It's made worse by the shrewd look Jazz gives her.
"See you soon!" says Martha as she leaves.
"Bye," Alicia answers back a little weakly. Then she looks down to the ground and sighs. When she straightens her head, she's immediately on guard as she catches her niece's smug look.
"What?" Alicia asks warily.
"Is Martha single?" Jazz asks, with a butter-wouldn't-melt-in-her-mouth face.
"Yeah," the older redhead answers slowly. "Why?"
"Just wanted to know," Jazz says innocently. And even Danny is looking at his sister suspiciously now. "since you've got a crush on her and all."
"I do no-I don't know what you're talking about!" Alicia protests though she feels her cheeks warming for the third time today.
And now Danny is starting to smirk too as he exchanges a look with his sister. "Oh," he starts as he looks towards Martha's disappearing figure. "This is going to be fun."

i'm about to be a bitch about alloyd so like. skip ahead if you're not into that ig.
the thing thats grinds me the most about alloyd is that,, we've seen lloyd plan out living the rest of his life at someone's side. we've seen him actively wish to spend the rest of eternity with someone. we've seen him think what sounds suspiciously like marriage vows about someone.
i am not joking or exaggerating here are the quotes:
That’s why, you bastard. I’m going to take care of you until the very end. Once I, your wise and older friend, solve the restoration of destiny problem, you’re going to enjoy the rest of your life by my side in peace. [...] He smiled at Javier and thought to himself. You’re my only friend, Javier. I couldn’t have overcome all the obstacles in front of me without your help. So, my trustworthy and reliable comrade, stick with me until I become a lazy lord and you become my personal guard. I hope we will be able to grow old together… -ch 327
Lloyd felt reassured by Javier's presence as he gazed at him. He could not have gotten this far without the knight. Therefore, he did not want to lose Javier and hoped they would keep bickering with each other for eternity. -ch 361
He thought he'd always be with Javier for the rest of his life. Just like now, he thought they'd spend all their time together moving forward. And like they always did, they'd be by each other's side during hard times. Happy moments. Relaxed days. They'd share all these moments as they exchanged insults and corny jokes, growing old as a lazy lord of a fiefdom and his knight. Lloyd always thought so. The thought just came naturally, without much effort from him, much like breathing. Lloyd believed that Javier would always remain by his side as that was how it had been until now. -ch 222
and at no point in any of those occasions has he ever sounded remotely afraid, threatened or uncomfortable with the idea.
so how come he is all of that when it comes to the idea of marrying what is supposed to be his canon love interest? like???
This is bad. Really bad. Terrible feelings struck his gut. Lloyd's lifelong wish was to find a rather ordinary woman to fall in love with, before getting married and having kids with her to lead an unremarkable family life. This was the extent of the luxury he had always dreamed of, not the frantic romance with the mightiest queen in the entire continent. I can see and feel it. I can sense it. This isn't good. Lloyd could see himself in the queen's pockets, like a scaredy cat in the presence of a ferocious lioness. -ch 390
Lloyd became speechless, even though he desperately wanted to call it an absolute abuse of power, tyranny, and dictatorship. But I'm kind of excited and glad... except what kind of marriage proposal is this threatening...?! But Lloyd couldn't bring it out in words, as his queen had already taken him by his hand. It was rough, yet warm. He could feel every heartbeat that was clearly pounding faster than usual. Ugh. There goes my dream of ordinary living. Lloyd quickly wiped off the tear that was about to fall from his eyes at the thought of the frightening romance. -ch 393
does this sound like someone in love???? like?? genuinely?? is this really what the main character should feel about his love interest???
i'm not even saying that the way lloyd feels about javier is inherently romantic, him feeling perfectly comfortable and hopeful about spending the rest of their life together is perfectly explicable by their close friendship.
but why make your protagonist sound so terrified of the idea of marrying what is supposed to be the love of his life?? when you never did that when writing about his other close relationship??
it's just. it's frustrating. to me lmao

Tumblr media
Alicia was born in the family of Major General Israel Bernal and his housewife wife Lydia Bernal. Alicia's family is obviously extremely well-off. The girl was always well fed, dressed and received a good school education, on top of everything else, her every "I need money" request was satisfied. But, in fact, everything was not so smooth. Major General Bernal, a collected and strict man, returning home from service and seeing a child there, his own daughter, could start blinking his eyes in confusion, as if he did not fully understand what she was doing here and what to do with her. So he did nothing, burying himself either in documents or in books. The mother, Lydia, is a strange woman. Beautiful, but with an empty look like a wax doll. Her house is always clean and smells of fresh pastries which she baked completely ignoring any attempts of her daughter to get her mother's attention. Lydia could not talk to her daughter for days, weeks, even without looking in her direction, answering in monosyllables. Not to punish Alicia, but simply because she didn't want to talk to her. In general, Alicia was not physically or verbally abused, although sometimes it seemed to her that it would be better if she was beaten rather than simply ignored as an empty place. All this affected her a lot, Alicia has big trust issues and fear of being abandoned.
In adolescence, Alicia realized that she would not get anything good from her parents and began spending more time with her grandparents, her father's parents, returning home only to provoke a scandal, trying to bring her parents to at least some emotion, but all to no avail. Then her grandmother died, and soon after her grandfather, who could not stand the grief, and Alicia realized that she no longer wanted to depend on her parents, starting to earn herself by working and still studying. When she turned 16, she immediately applied with excellent grades for her final exams at DSEME just to escape from home. The idea of becoming a military mechanic was not deliberate, but she tried and suddenly found herself in this profession.
After completing her studies, she served with dignity in the REME corps for several years, including twice visiting war zones, until her former teacher, a former operator of the SAS, at some point asked Alicia, who was already planning to join a Spec-Ops at that moment, "Don't you want to try out for the SAS selection?" Alicia didn't have to be persuaded for a long time, she enthusiastically accepted this offer. And then she remembered that at that time women were not accepted there. However, the teacher, who himself was wondering what would come of it, and who had a good relationship with the officers of the 22nd regiment, wrote a letter of recommendation for Alicia, the contents of which she still doesn't know. Thanks to this, and probably thanks to the surname, Alicia was admitted to the selection, but this was done rather out of respect for a former colleague who vouched for her, and on the assumption that she wouldn't pass them anyway, since no one would soften the conditions for her and she would have to go through the same categories as for men. And she passed. In fact, she could still be kicked out for a simple reason "woman", but instead she was given a chance with, however, an unpleasant condition – she would serve in the regiment, but her duties would be limited to servicing equipment and weapons, maximum assistance in providing supplies, no operations, no trips to war zones, not in in the near future, for sure. This noticeably dampened Alicia's ardor, but she decided to take a chance by agreeing to it.
The next eight months passed like that, until the captain from the mobility troop for which she was assigned, got tired of watching her chilling in garages while the others were working and he literally ordered her to pack her ass for departure with everyone else. Upon their return, they both received a serious reprimand, but nevertheless, Alicia achieved the opportunity to fully participate in operations, demonstrating her training and professionalism. For about another year, it was still not quite official, but after that the command just gave up. Now this captain is no longer alive, but Alicia is still immensely grateful to him. In fact, her service in the regiment would have been impossible without a series of happy occasions and kind people who believed in her.
So it takes a total of two years of service in the regiment, and then Simon Riley appears. A rookie, with the rank of Lance Corporal already familiar with how to handle weapons, but still looking like a barely fledged chick. Their acquaintance with Alicia was disgusting. The red walls of the barracks of the 22nd regiment met Simon, who had just passed the selection, not only with the August rain, but also with Alicia swearing in the parking lot. Deciding to help a girl with a car that didn't want to start, Simon received a ton of sarcasm and her face wrinkled in disdain, getting acquainted with the most unpleasant part of the character of then-Corporal Bernal. Then Simon decided that they would definitely never get along.
However, a few weeks later they had their first joint task during which Alicia almost got a bullet in the forehead because of Simon's peculiar driving style, but also because of this she got it only in the shoulder. After that, already at the HQ Simon made an awkward attempt to apologize to the stubborn woman, but she waved him off, instead offering him a handshake and saying that he was an interesting guy and thinking quickly.
Tumblr media
From that moment, their friendship began to emerge. Alicia, who had serious problems opening up to people, finally felt safe. She finally had a friend with whom she could share everything, and he could share everything with her. Alicia, whose stubborn and quarrelsome nature scared people away from her even at the greeting stage, unwittingly began to learn normal communication from Simon, this still didn't make her the soul of the company, but at least it became more pleasant to be with her. So another couple of years passed.
And then Ghost appeared. Alicia tried very hard to be close to her friend, supporting him and just trying not to let him go insane, but Simon needed space and solitude. He didn't say anything directly, but still awkwardly distanced himself from his friend, refusing her help and distancing himself, and Alicia was devoured by fear. For both of them, for herself, who was afraid to be alone again, and for Simon, who had horrors going on in his head and soul. Alicia can be very assertive, so at some point Price just told her, "Give the lad space and time, he's been through hell, don't push him.". And she gave him space. However, because of this, they only finally distanced from each other, which eventually settled a burning resentment in Alicia. So several years have passed. Alicia and Ghost became almost rivals from friends. Price believed that this whole quarrel was not even a quarrel, but a banal "bloody misunderstanding!", and they were behaving like stupid teenagers. One decided that she, her friendship and her care were abandoned, "don't you want that? Great! you can get lost!". And the second one thought that Alicia was just tired of running after him and it was absolutely her right, he didn't want to dump his problems on her, so it would be clearly better for her. Alicia was grumbling, rude and sometimes quite cruel, as she did once with her parents (and now too), Simon on the other hand, at some point began to answer her with the same sharpness. But at the same time, if Simon comes to her with some kind of request, she can postpone her own affairs to solve his problem, even if it will be accompanied by a dissatisfied babble. Even if it's some kind of stupid request that will only take up the time of an eternally busy woman, something like "let's go smoke", when the man is obviously feeling shitty again.
But they also have bright moments when they can just sit with cups of coffee in the garage and talk about distant topics. And the next day they will again be limited to just a fleeting nod in the corridor. And so on in a circle, until apologies are made, the reasons for which are accumulating more and more over the years.
A few random facts
• Alicia is the most sterotypic aries. She is stubborn, quick-tempered and sometimes absurdly categorical, which is superimposed on her already difficult character. Not the most likeable person.
• She's painfully bisexual. She had two girls and only one man in a relationship with whom she herself did not understand how she ended up.
•She's ambidextrous. Alicia studied absolutely everything that could be useful to her for success in the service.
• The years spent almost among just men have taught Alicia to be extremely cold and strict. There is no coquetry in her behavior and it is difficult to get even a simple smile out of her, because men often take it for flirting.
• Speaking of flirting. She doesn't know how to flirt. Absolutely. Maybe when she's in a relationship and flirting feels somehow natural.
• Speaking of a smile. She has a beautiful, even smile with white, even teeth on which she probably spends most of her salary since she is a heavy smoker. However, almost no one sees this smile anyway. An unpleasant grin doesn't count.
• When she first joined the SAS, she had a strong, fat crush on Price, which screamed DADDY ISSUES. He, obviously, didn't feel the same and even didn't distinguish her from the others so as not to be compromised. Much later, she once told him about it while having a nice conversation having a smoke and they laughed about it, and Price once again convinced her that it wasn't mutual at all.
• Alicia is very bad at reflection. She doesn't see why she has such a desire to save and find for partners people she could take care of and who would really need her.
• A tsundere woman.
• She didn't fully understand what she felt for Simon, until very end, and being very offended when he began to make attempts to get closer to her, clearly not as a friend after their quarrel.
• Like a normal girl, she cut off her long hair after their so-called quarrel. 🫡 Bleached at the same time.
• She's a hard hitter. Her punch to the back of the head could potentially kill an adult male.
• This still doesn't allow her to defeat Simon even in sparring, which infuriates her even more, but rather amuses the man.
• Persistently calls Ghost Simon, using the call sign only on assignments, and even then rather preferring to use "Bravo" instead.
• May be stubborn and ignore him until he removes the mask. But usually there is no problem with this, there is simply no point in hiding a face from Alicia, she has seen it hundreds of times.
• Alicia spent one Christmas at Riley's house, back when they were friends. It was a strange but enjoyable experience.
• She has three siblings – brother Michael, 14, brother Keith, 11, and sister Kelly, 8. Alicia doesn't really communicate with either her parents or siblings, but it still gnaws at her that her parents probably treat these children the same way as her.
• Alicia is very awkward with children. When she was at Riley's for Christmas and Simon's sister-in-law went somewhere to the kitchen, leaving her little son to play in the living room, Alicia awkwardly followed the baby crawling around the room so that he would not hit anything or knock over something heavy.
• Alicia can't cook. Absolutely. Her maximum is a sandwich and porridge in bags. Her mother didn't teach her, cooking herself, and her grandmother almost beat her hands, saying that she will learn how to cook later. She hasn't learned.
• Once Simon called her "Vixen" as a joke. Soon it stopped being a joke, because the nickname was picked up by the whole regiment and it almost became her second call sign. Alicia, in general, doesn't bother.
• Alicia has been smoking since the age of 14, but still has excellent results in running both short and long distances, almost without shortness of breath.
• In all the years that Alicia has been in a so-called "quarrel" with Ghost, she has never refused to help him.
• He's her soft spot. Always has been and always will be, even though she may deny it.
• Alicia is not part of Task Force 141. When everything that happens happens, she is probably on a business trip with her squadron somewhere in a war zone.
• Alicia is an unpleasant person. It's hard to get close to her and even just being around can be hard. But at the same time, her partners could never complain about cruelty or coldness (well, at least her girlsfriends). She is very caring and attentive.
• A few years ago, she happened to be hit by a landslide in the basement of a school after an explosion during a counter-terrorist operation. Alicia's reproductive system was assembled like a puzzle and now her uterus is as fragile as a crystal bowl, which almost excludes the possibility of having children. After learning about this, her last man left her. Not that she was upset anyway.
• In recent years, Alicia has been living in barracks 24/7, giving her apartments in London to tenants.
• She loves System of a Down and the TV series Scrubs.
• Likes bad jokes and laughs with them non-ironically. When Ghost is in a special Mood, he can come to her office or garage and detain and distract from work, telling stupid jokes one after another with an absolutely deadpan expression, just listening to a woman's laughter.
• Alicia immediately liked Gaz. They got along very well and agreed that they tend to look at fools as at fools.
• Alicia still respects Price immensely, although sometimes she can't help but call him father (they have a difference of 3-4 years) and watch with undisguised pleasure how he cringes. "The fuk I need such a grown ass annoying daughter."

Congratulations on 500 followers, babe! It's awesome that you're doing another ficlet fest. Here's my prompt:
Time: 1:30 a.m.
Location: Hollywood
Character: Alicia Zimmermann
Song lyrics: "Another name goes up in lights; you wonder if you'll make it out alive" from "The Lucky One" by Taylor Swift
Rating: T
HI BABE <3 I love this prompt, and I hope you like where it led me! There's never enough Alicia content, so I was really excited for the excuse to write some. 💜🦗
read the rest of the ficlets here!
🏒🏒🏒🏒
1:30am, hollywood
Alone in the back of a taxi, finally hidden from the view of the cameras, Alicia lets her head fall back against the headrest with a heavy sigh. 
It’s been a long time since award shows were fun, since after parties were anything other than an obligation pushed onto her shoulders by her agent. Tonight had been especially harrowing: enough meaningless small talk to make her want to tear her hair out, not enough food, and toast after drunken, incomprehensible toast. It was hard to believe that Alicia had ever liked the crush of people; that she had, at one point, craved this part of being an actress. More and more, her perfect idea of a late night features a warm body next to hers, a cup of chamomile, and a delightfully trashy romance novel—not backhanded compliments and uncomfortable shoes. 
Above all, Alicia is tired.
Tired of the run around, tired of the hustle, tired of spineless directors and co-stars that didn’t bother to learn their lines. Tired of constantly getting her picture taken, tired of being hounded by the press, tired of being critiqued on everything from her outfit to her choice of project. Tired of the endless travel, tired of remote filming locations, tired of never being in the same time zone as her apartment for more than a week at a time. There just has to be a way for her to have more control over her career. Surely she’s paid her dues by now.
At least her taxi driver isn’t trying to make conversation, or ask for an autograph—either option was liable to send Alicia over the edge tonight. She frowns as they pass a billboard for a new movie, starring some girl she’s never heard of. Blown up to larger than life, it’s impossible to miss the excitement in the starlet’s eyes, the yearning for more. Alicia feels tears gathering in the corner of her eye and looks away hurriedly—when was the last time she had felt like that?
She still loves acting, is the thing. Still loves throwing herself into a character, really connecting with their desires and fears, breathing life into someone who would otherwise just be words on a page. Still loves becoming someone new. But everything else that comes along with being an actress makes her want to scream.
Finally at her hotel, Alicia pays the driver and makes it up to her room in a haze of exhaustion and general torpor. She changes into pajamas and brushes her teeth on autopilot. It's only as she’s reaching over to turn the bedside light off when she notices the red blinking light of the answering machine. 
It’s probably her assistant. Maybe her agent. Both of them have been in constant contact on this press tour, keeping her in the loop on travel changes and adding more “quick appearances” to her schedule that end up being several hours and completely draining. But if she doesn’t check it, she’ll miss something important. With a defeated groan she checks the machine, tension leaching out of her when a man’s voice comes from the speakers instead of any of her all-female team’s strident tones. 
Hi, euh, hello, Alicia? This is Bob Zimmermann, we met last week at that terrible premiere?
Alicia actually finds herself grinning as Bob’s Quebecois accent and stumbling words spill out into her hotel room, his genuinely hesitant and careful words wrapping around her like a blanket. She didn’t know him from Adam at the premiere party, but a shared eye-roll during the director’s meandering thank you speech prompted her to wander over once it was done. The warmth in his brown eyes was reason enough to keep talking to him after introducing herself.
The message rambles a bit about how awful the movie was (he’s not wrong, it positively reeked of studio interference) and a bit about how his hockey team did this week before he clears his throat. The change in tone has her listening with bated breath. 
I know timing is going to be an issue for both of us, but I really enjoyed talking to you last week, and I’d love to take you to dinner and get to know you sometime— Sometime soon, eh?
He leaves the number of his hotel for the next two days and his pager number before saying goodbye. Still grinning, Alicia scribbles down both numbers and turns off the machine. She turns the light out and settles into bed with his voice echoing in her head and thinks. 
A single, unlooked-for message, the possibility of a date with an interesting man, and Alicia feels lighter. And more determined than ever to make some career changes — she wants to love her job again, just as much as Bob loves hockey. And she’s been around long enough, has enough clout, that she really thinks she can change her job to suit her desires. 
Resolved to sit down with her agent as soon as she’s in the same city again, she closes her eyes, replaying Bob's message in her mind as she drifts into sleep. 
Bonne nuit, Alicia.

[She] fuses with the living natural world… Doves fly from the peaks of her breasts… She is either feverishly alive or hopelessly dead.

FTWDs final season could have been so much better if it was revealed that Troy was running padre and controlling madison (as revenge) this whole time. He knew enough about nick and Alicia to make madison think padre knew who and where they were this whole time. And here are some other reasons how this storyline would make sense and be more interesting:
- Troy has a military background so him taking over and running a military base makes more sense than two teenagers building it up by themselves because all the adults died.
- taking and training up children to be solidiers also would make a little sense because of his own fucked up upbringing and the idea he has of the type of people who were made for this world. He would have probably had the same idea as shrike, that the kids stood a better chance at padre than with their “weak” parents. The mother of his child dying for being a good person and not getting to raise their daughter (who would not be named after his abuser) could have also played into this idea of the kids being separated from their good parents.
- shrikes radiation cure experiments: Troy ran walker bite experiments before, just to see how people would turn. So it would also make sense if the work we see shrike doing was something he approved of or an idea he himself came up with. As for shrike, it would make sense that she turned out this way if she’d spent years being mentored by someone like troy otto instead of becoming evil and stealing children just because her dad died.
- the scene where madison smashes the glass to expose “padre” would have been such a good and shocking reveal if it was Troy. Imagine Madison finding out that Troy is not only alive but had been the one running this the whole time!
There’s also a lot of other things I would have done differently for the other characters too and I would have liked Madison to have a little villain era and do some really fucked up shit as she tries to take down Troy and padre. How dark would Madison go? Would she survive with her humanity still intact?
I know I’m just talking into the void here because no one care about this shitshow but I just hate it when shows have a plot that could have been good, maybe even great but then completely miss the mark and fans come with better theories and ideas with minimal effort and thought.
#somewhere dave erickson is screaming (and relieved that at least frank dillane stayed away from the show lmao)#fear the walking dead#ftwd#madison clark#troy otto#i also would have had s7a focus on strand vs alicia but v differently with only alicia’s ending staying the same pretty much#then 7b would have been wrapping things up with morgans family and actually seeing the group being taken by padre before having a time jump#then season 8 would have been the much better padre/troy/madison arc#the way these writers reaally do not know how to write for troy and madison#it’s like they tried doing what they thought DE wouldve done with them but couldn’t decide if they wanted them to be villains or be redeemed#anyway i will always mourn the arcs we were meant to have in season 4#madison becoming the villain vs nick and alicia and whatever was planned for troy#troy was only killed off bc dave didn’t trust the new showrunners with him and he couldnt save the OGs by killing them too lmao#but i am glad alicia is alive and we got to see daniel sharmans acting bc most of the cast were only giving about 20% atp#but who can blame them? the writing got to new levels of bad in s7/8 and their personalities were changing every few episodes#actually to be fair they did the best with what they were given they just seemed done#i only tuned in to alicias episodes in s7 so my opinion on the rest of it is from what ive read bc i just could not get through it#so my opinion on the characters full arcs in s7 may be wrong

"Valentine's Day art collection (sort of)"
Happy Valentine's Day! Here are the pen traced versions of my two favorite gay hedgehogs, and here are my TMNT Mutant Mayhem first two couples with my ocs. (I would've drawn Miffy and Reagan art, but I haven't drawn their bases just yet, I'm so sorry about that.)
So anyway, I have a short little story for these three. But since we all know how the first top part goes, I'm going for the bonus Sonadow.
"Nose to Nose" - Sonic grabbed Shadow quickly in a flash by his arms, making the dark hedgehog yelped in surprise. Suddenly, his nose touched the speedy blue hedgehog's nose. Still surprised by this, Shadow is speechless by this, which makes Sonic smile.
"Oh, come on, Shads. Don't act like you never wanted a nose to nose," Sonic said coyly.
"I don't. But just to humor you, I'll go along," Shadow said with a smirk on his face.
The hedgehogs then rubbed their noses together, making their hearts soar.
"I love you, faker," Shadow said.
"I love you, too, Shadow," Sonic said happily.
Shadow chuckled. "I love you more."
"I know you do."

"Alinardo adorkable kiss selfie" - "Come on, Leo! Let's take a selfie together!" Lea called out to Leo from peaking her head through the curtain into his and his brothers' bedroom after finishing cleaning up his twin katana blades with a rag.
He smiled as he put his blades in the corner of his space. "Okay, we'll go and take some with my phone," he said as he stepped out of the room.
"Yay!" Lea cheered. She watched Leo take out his cell phone from his belt, open up a camera app, and gesture the girl to come. She placed her hand onto his shoulder and prepared to smile for the camera. Just then, Lea pulled Leo closer to her face and began to kiss him on the cheek. Blushing, the leader in blue smiles for the camera with his adorkable smile as he takes the photo.
After the photo was taken, Lea took the phone and took a look at it with a smile. "Aw, Leo! We look so cute together! You especially look so cute with that smile."
Still blushing and smiling, Leo has a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Y-you think I have a cute smile?"
"I don't think, I know," the human replied.
The mutant turtle couldn't help but grinned widely.
"Hey, think you can send me this photo to my phone?" Lea asked as she gave Leo back his phone. "I want to save it and use it for my home wallpaper."
"Sure. I'd would love to," Leo said warmly.

"Susietello surprise kiss selfie" - Susie was studying on the dining table in the Turtles' lair when Donnie was approaching towards her. "Hey, Sue. Want to take a selfie with me?" Donnie asked as he took out his phone.
"Well, I'm a little busy at the moment, but I guess I can relax my brain for a bit," the human friend said as she closed her textbook and set it aside.
They both walked towards the opening of the lair, and Donnie had his camera ready. Meanwhile, Sue was planning how to make this selfie photo more memorable as she was fixing her pastel green hair and her glasses.
"Okay, ready?" the purple clad turtle asked.
"Ready," Sue answered.
The two get close together with the timer set. As Donnie smiled for the camera, he felt a hand on his head and a small kiss on his side of his head. It was Sue, and his facial expression changed from a photogenic smile to a surprised one. The camera clicked, and they both took a look at the photo. Donnie's heart was fluttering when he saw the proof of Sue kissing him.
"Uh, did-did you just?..." he stammered timidly.
"Yeah, I did. I thought this photo would be nice instead of our usual peace signs and making silly faces each time we take selfies," Sue smiled warmly. "Sorry about that."
Donnie couldn't help but blush at this. He smiled back to her. "No. This is perfect. I love it. Thank you for that. I really mean it."
"You're welcome, D. Anything for my best mutant turtle friend ever."
They shared smiles towards each other and began to head back to the lair. Donnie couldn't stop thinking of Sue's actions to the camera. He didn't expect that to happen, but it did. He was surprised, but he was happy that his human crush kissed him. Wish it would be on the lips, though, but oh well. There's always next time.

Inspo for Rose’s new look in the latest chapter of Piece of a Diamond
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the art book we see Rebeccas early concepts for Rose, and the dress she wore was more drapey and less ballgowny, so I returned to that style. As for the flowers along the neckline, I just like them 😌

But Korra's protests die on her tongue as Asami pulls her in for another kiss, and by the time they resurface their tea has long since gone cold.

holicia and 69 ❤️✨😇
69. I Like That — Janelle Monáe
And I like that I don't really give a fuck if I was just the only one Who likes that
Holster’s nose is red and swollen, pain throbbing into his eye sockets with the promise of two blackened eyes, and all Alicia says is, “Huh. Looks like Bobby taught him a thing or two.”
“Yeah, feels like it,” Holster says. He leans against the counter as she opens the freezer, wraps an ice pack in a rooster-themed dish towel. Her AirBnB is like faceplanting into a very cutesy country theme; he’s never been to Georgia, but this places looks exactly the same way that Bitty talks. “Like I knew he wouldn’t — like it, right, but.”
It’s weird trying to balance this. He would’ve hit Jack if Jack had slept with his mom too, so he doesn’t — blame him, not really, for decking him in the locker room when he found out. Like, understandable. Holster’s dropped his gloves for shittier reasons. But at the same time—
“I’ll talk to him.” Alicia gently holds the ice pack to Holster’s skin. Instant relief. 
He wants to protest. Wants to say, it’s okay, I’ll take him out for food and we can have a talk man to man. But there’s not really any normal way of saying “hey I’m sleeping with your mom, don’t be mad,” and apparently joking about it means getting socked in the face. If he’d had more time to workshop, it would’ve brought the house down.
“What’d you say to him, anyway?”
He smiles grimly and then stops, nose on fire. “He asked me about the rumors and I said, ‘don’t forget your earplugs over break, stepdaddy’s staying over.’”
Alicia raises her eyebrows, nodding slowly. “Yeah, I can see why he’d hit you for that.”
“Wasn’t my best one.” Holster loops his arms around her waist and pulls until she steps between his legs. “Does it bother you?”
“I’ve seen some pretty bad hockey fights, Adam. This doesn’t look too bad,” she says. Her fingers are light on his cheek as she tilts his head side to side. She’s steady, steady, and her lips are soft when she kisses him. 
He gives into the kiss for a heartbeat before forcing himself to draw back, to say, “You know what I meant.”
Fuck, he doesn’t know what her expression means. She does this sometimes, withdraws behind some model-actress wall he doesn’t know how to reach past, and it’s lonely, waiting on this side. It’s scary. She could upend them right now if she wanted to.
Five weeks ago this was just a fledgling thing, a teeny spark of a one night stand he thought he’d have to blow out the next morning. It’s grown brighter than anything he’s ever known since then. One open marriage and two weeks at the fanciest cabin he’s ever seen. Three times out for dinner, four headlines speculating on their relationship, five times Rans looked at him as if to say, dude. What’s going on with you? when he’s on the phone for six of seven nights instead of doing homework, eight assignments overdue. 
God, he’s fucked. He waits for her to pass judgment.
“It bothers me that Jack hit you,” she says finally, “but I don’t really give a fuck about what anyone else thinks. I like this with you.”
“You do?” It’s out before he can stop it. Oh, this is better than the ice pack. Oh, the pain ebbs, recedes as he kisses her again. “I didn’t — I’ll work on, y’know. Being less punchable. Make it easier.”
Alicia laughs. “I’ll talk to my trainer,” she says. “See if she can teach you how to dodge.”
He says, “Oh, it’s like that?” and she thumbs his chin, eases him smoothly into another kiss, then another. He says, “Let me know how the talk goes. If I should say anything.”
“I’ve got it.” Alicia smiles, adjusts the dish towel. “But don’t worry baby, I’ll remind him about the earplugs.”
send me a #1-100 & a ship and I’ll write something based off my 2023 Spotify Wrapped

La casa de papel NSFW alphabet
From D-F.
Pairing: Nairobi - Berlin - Denver - Tokyo - Professor - Alicia x gn!reader Genre: Smut, headcanons Warning(s): Sexual content. Sub/dom dynamics, possessiveness/jealousy, public-sex, bondage, toys, gender-neutral reader - tried making the pairings/dynamics as gender-neutral as possible, lmk if it was gendered in any way so I can fix it! <3 Words: 1.1K Summary: NSFW alphabet with the LCDP character, D-F. What are they like in bed? English is not my main language, if I make any spelling mistakes please let me know so I can improve my writing! <3
Tumblr media
Nairobi 
Tumblr media
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Nairobi is good at hiding it, but she’s really jealous and possessive.
Especially after she started dating you.
She doesn’t want to come across as the “crazy”/jealous girlfriend, so she’s good at hiding it.
She trusts you wholeheartedly, but still she doesn’t like it when people flirt with you.
You’re hers, and she wants everyone to know it.
The thought of taking you to a public bathroom or wherever you may be - to make you scream her name - is a turn on.
She wants everyone to hear your sweet voice calling out your name as she claims you as hers.
She also likes leaving hickeys in visible places. 
Mostly to mark you up
But also because she thinks you look so cute covered in her love marks.
Although, she also likes the thought of you flirting with someone to make her jealous
…So she can fuck you dumb and have you repeat “I’m yours” 
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
She is pretty experienced. 
She hasn’t had many sexual partners but has experience
She does a lot of solo play too, and knows what she likes and dislikes in bed. 
Very considerate with your preferences too. 
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Likes the classics - missionary and 69.
Likes being on top and bottom equally, tho she prefers being in charge
She likes seeing your face when fucking you, so she really can pay attention to your sweet reactions. 
I feel like Nairobi has a couple of strap-ons, so any position where she can use them on you is good ;)
Berlin
Tumblr media
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He likes the idea of blindfolding you, often using his own ties or putting satin blindfolds over your eyes.
Knowing you’re completely at his mercy excites him.
He’ll get the chance to use whips on you, tease your skin with feathers and make you shiver with his touch.
…This way, he can tease you too. 
Probably cruel and doesn’t touch you, have you on edge and begging for it.
Only to give you the pleasure needed when you least expect it. 
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Homeboys have four ex-wives… That’s all I’ll say. 
He knows how to pleasure you, and also knows what he likes in bed.
Very attentive and catches up on what you like and dislike in bed.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Doggy style. 
He loves having you on all fours, grabbing your hips and thrusting into you.
The position gives him the opportunity to take you on other places besides the bed.
The kitchen counters, against a table, the shower wall…. You name it. 
This man is creative af lmao
He’s an ass guy, how can he not love doggy?
Denver
Tumblr media
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Although Denver is usually on top, he wants you to totally dominate him.
Handcuffs, toys, orgasm denial, whatever…
He wants to try it - and be the one to receive it. 
He’s turned on by the thought of you totally slutting him out.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Homeboy knows what he’s doing
And DAMN, he’s good.
He has had casual flings and partners before you, so he is very experienced.
…And not shy to brag about it. 
He seems to know just how to pleasure you, without even trying that hard.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Doggy styleeee
He loves taking you from behind
Being able to pull your hair, to squeeze your ass…
Apart from that, he likes 69 
Tokyo
Tumblr media
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
She likes teasing you, not necessarily to start an argument, rather because she thinks you’re hot when angry or frustrated
She knows exactly what buttons to push to make you mad, but also knows how to be seductive when teasing.
In a way, she’s turned on by being a “brat” and eventually have you losing it 
…Which hopefully ends up with sex
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Tokyo is experienced.
Definitely knows how to satisfy you and herself.
Likes guiding you, telling you exactly where and how to touch her
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
D O G G Y (idk why I headcanon half of the characters to love that, but it makes sense?? 😭)
She knows you like her ass (and she loves it too lmao) so she likes teasing you with it when in doggy position
Apart from that, she likes positions where she’s on top.
She wants to be in control of pace and really make you go feral under her. 
Professor
Tumblr media
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Sergio likes roleplays.
Maybe not a dirty secret to others, but he’s pretty “vanilla” in bed
He likes it when you call him “Professor” in bed
He is a switch but leaning more towards being a sub, but when roleplaying, he likes being in charge and playing the roles of the dom. 
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Not that much experience
Like he told Tokyo in one episode - he’s not a virgin, but is not the person that “sleeps around”
Sergio gives me demisexual vibes (same Sergio same)
I feel like he only sleeps with people he’s close with or really trusts.
He memorizes what you like, where you want to be touched etc to create the perfect experience for you
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Likes more intimate positions where he can be close to you
He wants to see your face when you have sex, and have your body tightly pressed against his.
Honestly? He doesn’t have a favorite. As long as it's a passionate one
Bonus point if you’re on top of him. 
Alicia Sierra
Tumblr media
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Kinky AF
Homegirl has a lot of fantasies, from using handcuffs on you, BDSM and roleplays…
But her biggest “secret” is her fantasy to make a tape with you.
She wants to have sex with you, filming it - preferably with a video camera - and be able to watch it. 
She probably has some intimate photos of you, on her phone AND printed out. (with permission ofc)
Audio files of your moans, too.
She wants to be able to hear your sweet sounds after being apart from you for too long
Probably listens to it to get off, or as an “ASMR” to fall asleep lmao 😭
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Very experienced 
She’s had a few partners so she knows what she’s doing
Alicia is open and honest with what she likes
Very passionate and experimental in bed, open to finding brand new ways to satisfy yours and her needs. 
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Likes spicing it up with more “complicated” positions
Not a fan of missionary to be honest
She prefers being on top 
Any position where you’re submissive underneath her will do it ;)
