January 2024 CPNs 🍭🍬🍪
Tumblr media
starting off the year strong with some good old candies that puts a smile on our faces. i have to say that this month has some challenges because tho we have sweets, there were some outside voices that affected some of us in a negative way. being a bxg is a continuous learning process, and i hope all of us get stronger and learn that xz and wyb will always be the priority. we will respect them. we will be kind to them. and i guess that’s the good thing about monthly recaps like this, a reminder that bxgs live the good life! 🫶🏼
now let’s review this lovely month… ⬇️⬇️⬇️
• New year’s eve candy goodness
• Additional NYE clowning, one of the set props for WYB’s stage, is a clock. It’s not set as 10:05 in an obvious way, but if you turn it just right you will see the 10:05. Most likely a coincidence but who knows.
• ZZ & WYB featured in Elle Japan
• 1/2 yibo official weibo video post
• Probably a coincidence but in WYB’s interview he mentioned that one of his favorite Actors is Sean Penn. Understandable. However people are screaming cause “Sean” is also XZ’s first name. lol. Was this an additional point to like the actor? 😂
• 1/4: Yibo cat photo cpns
• XiaoWangZi = Little Prince
• 1/6/23, photos onset of ZZ’s new drama went on HS. to be expected, cause it’s in hengdian and anything related to ZZ’s project is bound to get some paparazzi interested. there was also some talk that the project might have shared it intentionally to stop the malicious rumors that the drama wasn’t actually filming. anyway, the CPN in all this is that a new CP was born 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Tumblr media
baili is mostly paired with shiying — who is a favored person to be shipped with xieyun. so it seems like baili doesn’t have his one & only. so maybe zanghai can be that person. and both their stories include court politics so it’s perfect.
• The Boys & their late night city adventures
• ZZ & WYB + Mimi the Cat
• A new/old snippet from their thailand fanmeet rehearsal where they wanted to hear each other’s voice on their earphones
• WYB smiling cause he heard XZ’s sample/demo for the song tomorrow will be better during recording
• 1/11 zsww rumor : cutting their hair
• 1/12 same light and shadow in studio post caption & another wedding outfit
• THEM WITH A KID 🥹🥹🥹 it’s giving suo-er vibes!
Tumblr media
• Weibo Night recap & candies
• yibo is seat #23 and then xzs posts their video at 00:23. what a coincidence 👀
Tumblr media
• same brand heurueh bits
• In his SINA interview for Weibo night, he was asked who he prefers to go with during vacations and he answers friends. but before saying that he stuttered. you all know how we are with XZ and his stutter, meaning he is changing his answer or is a bit nervous cause the true answer is revealing. Tell us, who do you really wanna go on vacation with? 😏
• The boys being tourism ambassadors of their hometown which led to them being featured in a newspaper
Tumblr media Tumblr media
• A fansite posted a series of photos showing how XZ signed the backdrop for Weibo Night. It clearly shows how he looks at WYB’s signature and the decides to sign right next to it. There are videos too that show this much better. I guess this one depends on people’s interpretation. I think those who are anti cpf will see this as a coincidence and say that XZ just signed randomly on the side cause the other spaces already look crowded. But then again, you can’t deny that he saw WYB’s signature. He knows what it looks like. They both spent so much time signing stuff together during CQL promotion so it’s safe to say that he recognized it. If they are sworn enemies like some people love to imply, why would he sign near WYB’s? This is pretty clear to me, it’s his way of being right next to WYB. 🫶🏼
Here is a closer one posted by someone who attended, you can see how close they are.
Tumblr media
• an assistant in weibo night who took care of them both & who seems to be their friend
• matching lawsuits of anti fans
• both of them showing up at loreal annual meeting to give their messages
• our boys love to stay hydrated! 💦💦💦
Tumblr media Tumblr media
• a video from SDC where the OP said WYB’s reaction was due to their wangxiao headbands. I know there are a lot of toxicity and fanwar that happened because of SDC fan support and there is some narrative from his so/os that WYB hates us. so/os are free to hate on us but i don’t think it’s ever right to project that onto WYB who is like the most accepting person. let the fan wars be between the fans, don’t bring WYB into it and claim stuff that will put him in a negative light.
• mystery tennis photo where people clown that he could be with xz. but i personally think he is just with some friends, but that doesn’t take away the possibility that he plays with xz 🎾
• GQ caption similarities and sexy backs - and i think the biggest takeaway from this whole GQ drama is that fans should remain rational and we should trust the boys and their decision. I have talked about it initially here, but that was more of calling out fan etiquette than the cpn implications. some bxgs really fell into the brainwashing package of solos and i wanna discuss that here cause this fandom is not only about candies but being firm in our belief. you had shrimps saying wyb is the enemy cause he is all cozied up with gq, and some bxgs bought that. they were “disappointed” with wyb and made up stuff about him doing things against his will. then the same people were slapped in the face when yibo continued to work with him for his album which is about as personal as it gets. only a few respected wyb’s decision and trusted in him & xz. motos are saying gq will never work with someone like xz cause he is the enemy, and that’s why wyb is comfortable with rocco and team. which is proven to be wrong now cause he is working with them. who knows, they may even do a full feature for LOCH. this is a lesson to bxgs, do not rely on solo sob stories to make sense of zz and wyb cause they only see one side of the story. they were always okay with GQ. Maybe GG was hurt at some point but he moved on and so should the fans. i just hate the feeling that ZZ & WYB were so happy with the collabs they did with GQ, in the meantime, BXGs who are supposed to understand them the most were nowhere to be found. we should do better next time.
there are serious efforts out there to make us turn against one of them, and use cpfs as anti minions, so we should be more careful.
• BJYX and Tennis 🎾🎾🎾
• Their Ordinary Life - a translation of a post made about their lives as normal people, and riddled with known CPNs.
• the connection between the tod’s strap included in xzs 2024 media gift box and wyb’s alleged gucci strap accessory in SDC 5
• early cpf story
• new clue from a drawing of a cake 🎂

The Boy Is Mine (The Wheels Edition) Pairing: Eddie Munson x You Summary: Eddie and Evil Woman have a romantic night in. Contains: Snacks, smokes, alcoholic beverages purchased at a discount, teasing, snarking, fake snoring, Eddie being a butt-head. Project: @carolmunson's The Boy Is Mine Exercise Words: 700ish
(I haven't read any of the other entries yet, so if this is similar to someone else's... I'm sorry your brain is also lame. 😂 Props and dialogue prompts are in bold.)
Tumblr media
"I ran out of like, nice cups, is this okay?"
"Eddie, we're drinking wine from a box that we got in the clearance aisle," you laugh from the couch. "A coffee mug is fine."
Eddie grins and brings two mugs to the coffee table, then kneels by the TV to put in the first movie of the night.
You take a minute to survey the heart-achingly romantic scene in front of you: Date Night at Eddie's. (Sponsored by Markdown Day at Bradley's Big Buy.) You scored a cheap box of wine, heavily discounted cupcakes with the lopsided vanilla frosting, several bags of chips nearing expiration dates, and even a small cookie cake that was originally intended for someone named Carol.
"That everything?"
"Yup," you answer, reaching for a mug of wine and propping your feet up. The VCR comes to life with a clunk, the noise on the TV becomes a crappy monster movie, and Eddie drops onto the cushion next to you with a bounce.
He leans back with his own drink, and you clink your mugs before sampling your cheap-ass wine… which actually isn't bad.
"The hell is this," Eddie mumbles into his mug.
"Cheap wine?" you supply helpfully, going in for another sip.
"And you like it?"
"It's everything I want from a box of discounted grocery store wine," you chuckle.
"It's fruity," he complains.
"So are you."
"Shut up," he grumbles good-naturedly, leaning forward to grab a bag of chips.
You crunch and munch and maybe take a few hits off a bowl and drink your cheap wine while you enjoy your cheesy monster movie.
Every few minutes, Eddie leans forward to grab a small notebook from the coffee table and scribble in it with a pencil he's chewed the eraser off of.
"Whatcha doin'?" you finally ask.
"Campaign stuff," he says without looking up.
"Yeah? Am I inspiring you?" you tease.
"Nah," he mumbles. "Movie."
"Hmph," you scoff playfully. "I see how it is." You scoot toward the other end of the couch, leaving behind the warmth of the thigh that had been pressing against yours for the last hour. You lean back over and steal the bag of chips from his lap as an afterthought. This is when he decides to look up.
"What are you doing?"
"Being uninspirational," you say cheekily, popping a chip in your mouth.
"Aw, don't be like that. That's not even true." He puts down his little notebook and his gnawed-on pencil and crawls toward you. He rests his head on your shoulder, throws an arm across your stomach, and looks up at you with his best puppy eyes.
You roll your eyes and reach into the bag for a chip, holding it to his mouth. He opens wide and accepts. You alternate between feeding him and yourself through the movie's thrilling climax.
Eddie doesn't move when the end credits begin to roll. You give your shoulder a gentle shake to get his attention. His head slides down onto your breast.
"Eddie. Movie's over."
He nuzzles his face into your chest.
"I'll change the tape. Just let me up."
"Can't hear you. Sleeping."
"Eddie. I gotta pee."
"Honk-shoo, honk-shoooo," Eddie fake snores. You know he's grinning. Like an idiot. Because he is one.
You reach for the nearest throw pillow, take aim, and smack him in the face with it.
"That wasn't nice," he grumbles.
"Unhand me, nerd."
"No."
You hit him again.
"If you don't stop, we're gonna have a problem."
"Already got one," you smirk. "Big eyes, bigger mouth, won't get the hell off of me."
You feel him chuckle, but he still doesn't move, so you whack him in the face with the pillow again.
Eddie growls and tries to take it from you. A struggle ensues. It's all a tangle of hair and limbs for a few seconds, but you emerge from the chaos victorious and free of one Edward Munson.
He crosses his arms over the pillow and pouts when he realizes you've escaped.
"I'm coming right back, nerd," you call over your shoulder. "Pour me another mug of that crappy wine if you want me to put out tonight."
You hear him scrambling into the kitchen before you even close the bathroom door.

Hi hi I love your blog!
I have a teeny wee ask for you!
How would Kaeya, Thoma, and Childe (separately) react to finding out their SO smokes. Honestly I’m purely asking because I’ve been addicted for years now and quitting is so damn hard. Maybe the men will give me more incentive to stop 😣😂
I ADORE the way you write these three, makes me so happy cuz they’re my favourites (esp. Childe ugh I’m so down bad for him)
im glad you like my writng :D hope this works for you <3
Tumblr media
I can see Kaeya being a casual smoker. He's not really addicted to the nicotine high or anything and he's not a fan of the smell of smoke on his clothes but he doesn't mind ducking out every once in a while to chat with you.
If you want to stop he'll be pretty helpful. He can be pretty disciplined at times if he needs to be so he's definitely great at trying to help you kick your habit.
He's also a great support for any withdrawal symptoms. He definitely is someone who likes to keep his hands busy if he's trying to distract his mind. Sometimes that means spending his time pestering you sweetly, other times it means doing some extra work for the knights or at home. You manage to keep up with his extraordinarily busy day, collapsing onto the bed and too tired to even think about smoking before falling asleep.
Overall it's not the end of the world for him whether or not you smoke but he wants you to be happy. Whatever it is he can do to help you is what he'll do, but if you're feeling like you want to quit he's with you 100% of the way.
Tumblr media
Thoma is a little more worried than Kaeya is. He's pretty straight edge and the most he's done is sample a few things that his friends were offering him in a low-key environment.
He's thinking about some of the long-term effects that it might have on your body and his whole goal of wanting to grow old with you might get delayed. Thanks to that, he'll start to voice some of his concerns.
He's not mean about it at all, and honestly, the whole conversation is framed incredibly lovingly. You tell him you've been trying and he decides that means it's time for him to help you continue to try. Whatever it is that you need to do to help you quit he's there to support you, and even finds other things to help with quitting.
Tumblr media
Childe can be either. On one hand, he might not smoke because it could hinder his ability in combat but on the other, it could be something else he does just for a bit of escapism. He might smoke more often than Kaeya would, going with you for smoke breaks and just hanging out with you while also smoking.
When you tell him you want to quit he decides that he will too in solidarity with you. For him, it's pretty easy just because for whatever reason, he has insane self-control when he wants to. He can quit cold turkey at any given moment but he understands that's not exactly normal for most people.
He's similar to Kaeya in the sense that he likes to keep busy if he's trying to keep his mind off something. It'll be good for him too, keeping busy and it means he gets to spend some time with you so as far as he's concerned it's a win-win. You'll definitely be able to quit with his help and insistence.

MORE HOTD REPTILES AU 🤗 EDIT: After I took a nap I checked the post on my phone and the quality of the image looked like crap, dont know if it is my damn phone or what, but just to make sure I divided the strip in parts, now it looks fine in my phone, I like looking at Vhagar the komodo dragon in good definition ok xD? Also Arrax with his cute little crown. Im in pain, I commited myself and finished this in almost 3 days, never again lol. Headcanons time: -If you follow my other posts you know Aemond and Luceyrs are roommates, Aemond lied and said Vhagar “was friendly” so Luke will stay with them, he had been very careful and nothing happenned for like 3 weeks, but the one time he went jogging and didn’t make sure Vhagar’s enclosure was properly closed something happened.  -His “Lucerys it’s in danger” sense tingled and he came back in time to prevent disaster, but Luke saw Vhagar in his room. -Lucerys knows Vhagar its not “friendly”, but he also wanted the roommates situation to work, so he feigned ignorance and trusted Aemond, after all Vhagar did listen to him, most of the time.  -Vhagar did want to have snack time so bad 😞, but she also loves her almond, so no eathing the tiny dragon, Arrax its “her friend” now, and shes also a new member of Luke’s youtube videos! Plenty of new subscribers thanks to that 😂. -Yes, their silly costumes are a little bit of an hommage to their HOTD real characters, after all we do love to make Luke and Aemond queen and king (Or kings) in a lot of fics 😋. -Also also, yes Luke its wearing crocs with cute charms on them, I also love jogging pants, very comfortable 😌. -Vhagar its inded as tall as Luke when she stands, she’s a full grown Komodo, my doberman its as tall as me when he stands, so I think that makes it possible, I’m like 1.60 m,  5.25 feet, so yeh. -After this Vhagar and Arrax become really good friends indeed, they take walks together with Luke and Aemond, they sunbathe, Luke makes videos with both of them from time to time, they also play catch and chase together, this scares Luke a little, but Vhagar will not hurt Arrax, they are important to her know, Aemond likes them, so does she. -The costumes and videos are a little bit tedious, but Luke makes sure to never do something she hates, and Aemond always gives her special treats and cuddles after them, she also gets a fanbase that sends her gifts! Luke says she’s a star now 😘. -MOre lore that keeps me awake at night: Targ special pet companions Need to be a reptile or amphibian+ blood magic with a Targ blood family member sample, usually blood+ some other secret enchantments. Usually, the parent will bring their baby or child and be shown a wide variety of options, specifically eggs, and if there’s a connection with one or more, they are taken and can go through a series of trials and blood magic rituals, and the one that hatches at the end it’s the one that goes with the client. This process can take some time and specially lots of money from the client. Also, it can only work with people from Valyria, the only ones that can really afford this type of thing are the Targs and their blood family members. They may or may not also have a very restrictive contract with the dragon keepers for this kind of service too, hehe. Driftmark incident and bonding with Vhagar!: Alicent lets Viserys have his way with Aegon and Helaena, they got their pet companions since very young, she agreed since both were also relatively safe options, but then he started to get sick and wasn’t as able as before. She never liked this tradition the Targs had, just looking at Rhaenyra’s Syrax, or even worse, Laena’s Vhagar, the seven forbid one of her kids bonds with a monster like that, so with Aemond she gets more control of what her son get access to bond with, small geckos, frogs, turtles…safe and/or small companions, but none of those take, time passes and then Aemond decides he wants to have a big crocodile like his father, Alicent hates the idea, she wasn’t a Targaryen, so she really didn’t believe it was safe. But no matter what other small safe reptiles Aemond was shown none of them reacted. Aemond knew why, he didn’t want any of those “safe” companions, Aegon and Jace won’t stop bullying him with one of those, he needed something that commanded respect, not something “small and safe”. More time pases and Aemond still doesn’t have a pet companion, Alicent stops trying, and he gives up a little. The day of the funeral the kids dare Aemond to go into Vhagar’s enclosure. He accepts and goes into Vhagar’s room at Daemon and Laena’s house, there he finds this really big lizard he has never seen before. The dragon keepers haven’t shown him anything like it, and even if it’s not a croc, he knows this would definitely do, his excitement goes away when he kind of feels the creature’s sadness. He starts to sing her a Valyrian lullaby (The one Daemon sings to Vermithor), and this catches Vhagar’s attention, she goes out from her enclosure and Aemond touches her snout (Like in how to train your dragon, hehe) while he says Lykiri and Dohaeras (Like in the show!). Vhagar can sort of feel the connection, but we still need the blood for it to be completed. Cue the other children. Aegon and Jace can be a little bit mean and feel kind of “attacked” (Inferiority complex it’s that you?), that Aemond it’s getting a good reaction from Vhagar, they weren’t expecting that after all, and because children can be little shits they enter the room and try to make fun of Aemond for singing Vhagar a lullaby, Vhagar has never seen this other children before and doesn’t like all the noise so she goes back to her enclosure. Rhaena and Baela are not vibing that much with the bullying, neither does Luke, but then Aemond gets mad and lashes at everyone, telling them they have lame companions, how they wish they could have something as cool as Vhagar, especially the idiot Strong bastards. Luke and the girls are sad and crying and answering their own mean things to Aemond and then everyone its fighting. Aegon knows their parents are gonna kill him if something happens, so he runs away in search of the adults. There is some stuff used to feed Vhagar in the room (Gloves, scissors, thongs and stuff like that) and in the struggle those things end up in the floor with Aemond and Jace, Aemond grabs the scissors and slashes them around in desperation and ends up cutting Jace a little. Its then that Luke, that was comforting Laena and Baela after they got punched in the squabble, sees this and gets scared, and ends up pushing Aemond, he trips around the mess and pierces his eye with the scissors, by then the adults arrive and all hell breaks loose. While everyone screams, Vhagar gets close to Aemond and licks some of his blood from the floor, Laena its dead, and she likes this feisty hatchling, so the bonding gets completed. Still, the adults are fighthing, but the kids get to say the truth about the taunting and the mean words and Alicent, Rhaenyra and Viserys see the damage that has been done through the adults mean remarks and hatred. So yes, they are all very mad, and are not in the very best terms then, but they all decide to start going to family therapy, so not everything goes to shit in a couple of years, this way Lucemond and Jacegon can still be a little bit toxic, but nobody needs to die, ok? Also Alicent freaks out and almost passes out when she sees the monstruosity sitting at her son’s side, that makes everyone go back to their rooms, lol.

Pleasing Scent Samples
Hello, friends! I ordered the Big Lip balm from Pleasing and with it came a fun surprise.
Tumblr media
I already gave my initial impressions to @twopoppies as soon as I opened the package. It’s been a couple hours or so now so the scents have dried down on my skin and I can take a second smell to let you know my thoughts.
Full disclosure, I don’t think I have a very sophisticated nose 😂 But I’ll try my best to describe as accurately as possible. That said, I’m sure I’ll miss the actual notes and ingredients so consider this the most unprofessional review you could get from someone that just really loves perfumes and doesn’t mind being totally honest for better or for worse.
RIVULETS
Tumblr media
Pepper, pine, and powder with floral come through. It reminds me so much of Gucci Memoire but slightly lighter. These are the notes from Fragrantica and I swear Rivulets is very much this but slightly cooler.
Tumblr media
It also reminds me of Diptyque’s Figuier scent too. Overall very woody and clean!
Unfortunately it just won’t stay on my skin. I tried it on my wrist and the back of my arm but it only lasts about 10mins or so and then vanishes. ☹️ I really do love it (I was also a fan of Memoire) but if I took the risk of buying it, I know I’d have to put some Vaseline or something else on first to hopefully help the scent last longer.
Bright, Hot
Tumblr media
Delicious! Cinnamon, Vanilla, Fruity! It reminds me of bourbon with some sweet tanginess. Or maybe Peach Schnapps! Like it has the spiciness from alcohol but I swear it makes my mouth water like after biting into a ripe peach. This is what I wanted Tom Ford’s Bitter Peach to smell like but Ford’s is just too musky and overpowering for me. I’ll 100% be purchasing Bright, Hot though! It’s so much more pleasant and light. The fruity notes come through with this more vs the musk. And it STAYED on my skin. I’m so obsessed with it, I want it in as a perfume and candle (Harold, please 🙏🏽).
Here are the notes from Bitter Peach to get an idea of what I mean:
Tumblr media
Closeness
Tumblr media
Oh, she’s SEXY 😮‍💨
I told @twopoppies it smells like spice, pink fruity bubblegum and a pink bubble bath! I also get rose. Pink, pink, pink. They chose the sample card well.
This one is the heaviest scent, almost like oud with it’s dark muskiness. But that sweet floral scent just makes it completely intoxicating. I couldn’t stop smelling myself after putting it on, it also had the strongest lasting power on my skin.
If this is the scent people are describing a “vaporub and sex” I don’t disagree but I don’t think the description necessarily does it justice. 😂 All the scents are definitely meant to be unisex so they all have a powdery, spiciness to them. But this one is just so alluring and HOT. It gives me sweat, heat and sweet playfulness.
The closest thing I could compare it to in my own collection of perfumes was Clean Reserve’s Sparkling Sugar.
Tumblr media
But switch the Fruity and Musky amounts. Closeness is like this scent’s naughty sister. 🖤
And there you have it! As I said, I’m not a professional perfume reviewer by any means (clearly 🤣) but I hope this gives everyone some idea of what they can expect! And of course if anyone else got the samples and would like to add (or tell me I’m completely off the mark, haha) please do.
Overall I genuinely loved each scent and think there’s something for everybody here. My favorite compliment is when someone tells me I smell good so I’m really particular about what I wear but I can honestly say I’d wear all of these happily. I lean more towards Bright, Hot for my personal preference but Rivulets smells great for an everyday scent where Closeness would be perfect for a date night out. The quality also seems to be great so if you do plan to purchase like I am, I don’t think we’ll be disappointed with the product.
If anyone has anymore questions, I’m totally happy to answer. 🩵🧡🖤

Sorry I just need to get this out.
Using the guys as your taste testers for recipes 🥰 like. I’m Korean, so something I always thought was really cute was making kimchi with the family. Like the whole set up where we all sit around a kiddie pool and talk shit about whatever drama we’re watching while seasoning the cabbage.
Can you imagine? Living alone (possible neighbor Simon situation?) and totally still trying to keep up the tradition but it’s hard to make a few jars of kimchi (or idk cookies? We only have large batch recipe and I refuse to math out a smaller measurement 😂) alone and you end up asking Simon or his buddies to help with promises of free food.
Like. Feeding people is my love language. I just want to have get together a with them all and feed them while we criticize whatever trash tv show we end up watching.
Price is trying to keep us on track to finish within a reasonable time but Gaz, Soap, and you are arguing about the drama happening on tv.
Ghost is silently working on whatever Price hands him. He’s secretly enjoying this, don’t let his perma rbf fool you… Might sneak a few bites of food if no one is watching.
Soap is 100% sampling food, don’t even try to stop him and he’s roping Gaz into it as well.
Hand feeding is kinda normal/casual in my family, but I can imagine it would take the guys by surprise at first when you try to feed them something lol.
Flirting? No. Eat 😂
Making kimchi in a kiddie pool together means we’re family now ❤️
Note: I love this??? I love learning abt other peoples' traditions so much. An entire kiddie pool!?!? That's so much food!!! Tell me more!!! Is the Kiddie Pool Technique usually only used for kimchi or can you make other dishes like this too?? idk you don't have to answer any of that if you don't want to, I just love this idea so much
But yes, you're so so right that this is the perfect Neighbor!AU scenario. You tell Simon one day about the tradition, but note how hard it is to do all of it on your own. He offers to help, but you tell him that it'll still be difficult, even with two people.
"Unless you invite your friends, that is."
(Was this a carefully constructed ploy to get the rest of the team to visit? Maybe. Maybe not. You'll never tell.)
Anyway, once the promise of free food has been made, they're all showing up. All of 'em. No question. Price even shows up early to help you prep, along with Simon. He's good at delegating whatever tasks you tell him need to happen, and though he acts like you and the Sergeants are getting on his last nerve by how distracted you get with the TV, he's totally watching too. And he has many opinions about it. Go on, ask him. He'll tell you while trying desperately to pretend he hasn't been paying attention to the show.
Soap and Gaz are definitely completely engrossed in the television. They're still doing good work at whatever tasks they've been given, but they're also making constant comments about the characters/people on the screen (especially Gaz). Simon's just sort of quietly working away, listening in and definitely forming his own opinions about the show, but not offering anything verbally. Protip: Ask him about it later and he's giving you a full analysis.
Now, as for the sampling/eating... listen. I'll be honest with you. Simon's probably got a. Very limited palate. Like, "Beans on toast is culinary genius" limited. He's a working class boy from Manchester, England. Certain brands of ketchup are too spicy for him. (I am allowed to poke fun at him for this because I also suffer from Can't Handle Spice Disease). But!! If there is one thing he is, it's up for new experiences. So he's definitely gonna give it a try. Probably finds out he likes it more than he thought he would (make sure he has some water on hand though).
The rest though? They immediately try and dig in. Does not matter how much you scold them for it, does not matter how much you try to prevent it from happening. None of it works. Even Price once makes the mistake of chastising Soap and Gaz for sampling food while he, himself, has a mouthful. Soap especially cannot. Stop. Eating. It's a miracle if you actually have any kimchi left by the end.
Also LMAO at the idea of you feeding them by hand and them taking it the wrong way. Cause you know they will at first, Soap in particular (Simon and Price may not think much of it, but the other two definitely misconstrue the action as flirtatious). Just imagine you go to hand-feed Soap something and it's just like:
"Ah, flirtin' wi' me in front'a the whole gang, hen?"
"...What? No?? This is what family does. Now eat."
Overall, all of them have a blast. Every so often, one of them will ask Simon when you can all get together and do it again.

"Rita of Gokkan"
Tumblr media
TTFC's original webcomic from Rita's POV.
First 10 Chapters are available on TTFC to read. First 3 Chapters free on BookLive and Piccomo.
(Spoilers ahead)
I'm surprised they managed to create a webcomic in Rita's POV as well as having a weekly release to show more of what was going on in their head.
The chapters are rather short to fit the format of a weekly series (especially a full-colored one), but shows enough of what is going on in Rita's POV. The first Chapter is 43 pages compared to the 14 of other chapters simply bc it goes over the entire opening monologue of the pilot.
(Please note that I am not fluent, the lack of furigana makes it hard for me to read kanji, but I know enough to use context clues to get a general yet vague grasp of what is happening).
The first chapter takes place during the events of episode 4 given it's before arresting Gira but about a week after episode 1. It starts with Morfonia running and Rita then fights off Sanegims outside the castle reminiscent of Episode 5's first fight scene. Even down to Rita's speech as they enter the castle as well as sentencing someone to a -10° cell during a trial.
The rest of the chapter would show a little more insight on Rita and Morf's relationship as Morf does seem to show concern over Rita's behavior after the first Bugnarok attack. The chapter ends with Rita entering their office and cuts to the events of Chapter 1 as Rita recalls it after picking up Gira's Wanted flier (cut to Chapters 2-9)
This is where we actually get more of Rita's inner thoughts and perspectives of the other Kings in the first episode. Specifically Racles and Yanma as those two were the ones causing the most problems for the Chief Justice. Not so much Kaguragi, but there is a moment during the fight where Rita and Himeno kinda butt heads because Himeno jumped into the line of fire after Rita takes a shot at a Sanegim.
I won't say much else as a good chunk of the comic is retelling what happened in the first episode, but it does confirm my headcanon of Rita being way too suspicious of Racles in the early episodes prior to watching "Racles's Secret" which led to them being more than happy to get a DNA sample by smacking the absolute shit out of him. It also shows how Rita is sick and tired of each King's selfishness when all they want is for the Alliance to work for the sake of the people but learn none of the Kings can work together. Something that explains why Rita was so close to throwing hands with Yanma and Himeno in Episode 5 while going "i don't give a fck if you're a royal" to their faces 😂
Chapter 10 is more of Rita going over their past and shedding details on how they grew up after becoming King at 10 years old. It also features a chat with Moffun that is a 180 in style which is very fitting for Rita's mental state (i love it so much~). The chapter ends with Morf calling Rita before Rita heads to Toufu for the arrest.
Honestly, the webcomic is pretty good at being very close to how the episodes played out while also bringing in another perspective of the whole situation. Some details were added in that weren't in the show simply because it makes more sense to know now rather than putting random tiny details together and have a huge theory board throughout the show.
I mean I do have one, but y'know. KingOh lore is insane.
What I do appreciate about this webcomic is how it touches on Rita and Morfonia's relationship in more detail. Even down to Rita's thinking whenever Morf's laid back personality and disrespecting authority makes them hold back a scream mid-meeting 😂
I do wonder how much input Kamihori and TakaMina have and how much discussions made with the artist to bring this side project to life. Or at least how much was planned or if TakaMina was just begging for his little autistic blorbo to have some shining moments that were glossed over in the show in favor of getting the plot moving.

Happy Friday Everyone! Lets dive into our next ep.
1x05 'The Round-up'
Tim being excited about the round-up is actually pretty cute. He’s like a kid in a candy store. There’s an excited spark there it’s adorable. This clearly means a great deal to him. Shock surprise Tim Bradford is competitive. Who would've thunk?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucy is about to see the extent Tim is willing to go in order to win this competition. She's about to see a side to Tim she hasn't experienced yet. First would be his incredibly competitive side. She's about to see how serious he takes this. Second is a side that shocks her. Him being super nice and flirty with someone. Her reaction to seeing this is priceless. She has no idea who this person is with Nell but its not Tim LOL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tim is giving it his all to Nell. Laying it on super thick. Lucy’s face as Tim flirts with her. I’m dying. She’s like who are you? And what have you done with Tim Bradford? Melissa's facial expression is killing me 😂 She must feel like she is on another planet while Tim works his magic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Naturally she was quick to be on his ass about keeping it fair. Never misses a beat with him. Cracks me up. Always ready to speak her mind with him, this time she backtracks wasn't worth it to hang out in the drunk tank haha He's ready to do anything and everything to win this whether she's on board or not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though she’s not supposed to be his ‘Pollyanna’ that doesn't stop her from bringing up Nell. She knows what he’s doing is wrong. Using his charm and good looks to get what he wants from her. He clearly thinks it’s harmless... Where she knows what he’s doing isn’t ok. She's doing more than just a 'Favor' Timothy and you know it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's always so defensive when's she’s calling him on his shit. Lucy has his number and he's still not used to it. So naturally he shuts down the convo before it can go any further. Goes right back into hard ass T.O. mode. Its a default for him when he's not wanting to deal with something with her. That tough love coming out in lieu of continuing with Lucy's line of questioning.
I couldn't find a gif set of the DUI call they get. But its a good scene for them. You see Lucy questioning Tim and his motives. Their suspect has been impaled and bleeding out. Tim reading his rights just until he about passes out. He demands to get a blood sample before he's loaded into the ambulance. Tim claims to get him in a jail cell and not to lose evidence.
She is wondering if he was trying to get their suspects blood because they should or because it was good for their score. When the man was bleeding out in front of them. It clearly shakes her when he tells her their suspect doesn't get a pass just because he got a boo-boo. Then tells her to put their score on the board once they get the blood. Which is conflicting her further. She’s not sure why he’s pushing so hard to win this thing.
They go to lunch after where Nolan only serves to piss her off LOL She’s clearly grumpy in the shop after her lunch talk with Nolan. So Tim tries to engage her and talk about the DUI they had. Reminding her that what they did was the right thing. That its their job pretty or not. It's all about ‘maintaining perspective.’ Right before they get their next call about a armored truck being stolen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her throwing his words right back at him shortly after they get this call is primo. I’ll always love how Lucy calls him on his crap no hesitation whatsoever. He tries to deter her with 'tough love' and all it does is spurn her on. I love their dynamic so much. She refuses to be anything but herself with him. Speaking her mind even when he clearly doesn't know what to do with it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Naturally he replies defensively cause he’s not used to a worthy opponent like her. She returns fire with him no matter what. That part of their relationship is so key to them. Her challenging him. There was an article where Eric said ‘Lucy returns fire with care. ‘ 100% what she does. She's not afraid to fight this man who's clearly made other rookies tremble. He’s definitely never experienced this with any other rookie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love Talia and Angela rigging the competition for him. Their secret way of showing him they care, and know what this means to him. It's obvious to Lucy there is an emotional component to this for him. She just doesn't understand why. It's why she jumps in on the conversation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucy of course thinking it might be better for his healing to lose. Not be so caught up in this. She’s always looking from the perspective of how to help Tim. How she can best protect his emotional stability. To her makes more sense to have him let it go.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angela shuts it down with her reply. Lucy realizes this is cathartic for him whether he knows it or not. Then concedes to Angela’s point. Tim is clearly still a hot mess still when it comes to Isabel. To let him have one thing that doesn’t send him completely off the edge about her is huge. That look of realization is written all over Lucy's face. So she lets it go after that.
We get to the end and yay Tim and Lucy have “won” the competition. Tim owes Nell a drink. We do see Tim does grow in this ep. (Because of Lucy of course). Not that he is realizing that at this point. But he does realize she’s right and he’s been leading Nell on. Owns up to the hot mess he currently is and lets her know he’s married and it’s complicated. Her reply is hilarious ‘I don’t do complicated’ baha
~~~
Not really a lot of non chenford side notes for me in this one.
Just getting past the cringey post breakup stuff with Lucy and Nolan. Lucy nailed it at the beginning of the ep. ‘You were on the rebound from 20 year marriage this was never gonna last.’ Sure wasn’t one of many reasons it wasn’t going to.
Thank you all once again for the comments, likes and reblogs they do my heart wonders. Feel free to comment should you choose 😊 Do my best to get another ep or two done this weekend.
Till we meet again in 1x06 :)

Hi Mina!!
For elves and or Ainur… most to least likely to engage in cat x mouse style chase, or <bite back> at S/O who likes to play with fire(figurative) ?
Nsfw or fluff(or both) at your discretion~
I just love seeing your interpretations.
I hope this wasn’t too open ended in who, sometimes you have random assortment but others are specific houses.. wasnt sure how to put this one.
a/n: Which elf doesn't enjoy a game of cat and mouse. The size difference between us would feel as though any simple game is a chase 😂. I believe I did this with the Ainur already, so elves for this round (NSFW)
The game is on. You're getting a countdown and headstart by an entire five minutes before they come searching for you. Your heart is racing, blood pounding and your insides turning at the revelation of what they'll do once they caught you. You want to be caught, but you want to prove to them how great you were at playing the game. You could feel them gaining on you, the faint breaths and lips ghosting your skin. Your time was running out and if they caught you right where they wished for you to be, you became their meal. “I hope you know that I'm famished right now...so if I took a bite, you'll forgive me. Sample a meal before devouring is important.”
FEANOR, CELEGORM, Caranthir, Amrod, Amras, Celebrimbor, FINGON, Argon, ANGROD, Aegnor, GLORFINDEL, Galdor, ROG, Maeglin, BELEG, ELLADAN, Gil Galad
They are chill about the entire gameplay. Chasing you they are, but silently stalking like the professional predator they were known as. You could see the hunger and lust glinting in their eyes and glittering under the dim light. Wine glass to their lips, they look your way and you fold. No words but they're hunting, no touch but they're winning and no growl but they've pounced and claimed you. The game was over before it started, you were bound to lose. No helpless bunny like yourself was escaping their claws. “Tired of running bunny, can't hop anymore? Come on now, you know I like my prey feisty. Give me a good fight before I make you mine.”
Maedhros, MAGLOR, Curufin, FINGOLFIN, Turgon, FINARFIN, Finrod, ECTHELION, EGALMOTH, THINGOL, Elrohir, ELROND, Erestor

I was hoping for a Trudy x Nonbinary (if not female) reader the plot is while exploring the forest y/n anixety got triggered by an ikran or something and they ran deeper in the forest as they had an anixety attack Trudy follows and manages to find them and comforts them a bit after Trudy and y/n are lost and it's getting dark this adventure of sorts kinda turns into a weird date thing as Trudy decides to make the most of it and have a nice joy ride exploration around the forest with y/n it ends with them finding a safe place to sleep, a confusion from both of them , a make out scene BC I MUST, and they fall sleep the end :)
my one thing I ask for in the make out scene it doesn't end too abruptly/ extending for a bit as long as you're comfortable with it!

Tumblr media
The chopper landed on the soft grass near the site 26, I hopped off on the ground, making my way towards the door with grace, she opened the airlock, getting in with Trudy, norm and Jake, I let my bag fall down almost instantly , breathing inn freely because as much as breathing the pandorian air is okay , this was much better, making a beeline to my bunk above Trudy's, climbing up I threw myself onto it, getting comfortable but my relaxation was short lived when grace demanded me to get up and come down for the collection and briefing. I went near the lab section to grab my tools hearing Trudy on the way as she exclaimed "everything's rotten in this fucking box" slamming the fridge door shut, I laughed at her, picking up what I needed, I turned around to meet up with grace as soon as possible but was stopped in my way by Trudy, her frame blocking me, raising my eyebrows at her in question, she spoke "mind if I tag along? And I don't have anything else to do either" she had a lazy smile plastered on her face and how could I say no to that?
»»————- ♡ ————-««
It's been a while since me and Trudy got separated from grace and norm, traveling further and further into the thick forest,the sounds from the distance making me jump but I stopped once in a while collecting specimens and samples, Trudy walked behind me, chattering away but I didn't mind, her voice bringing me at peace, my heart fluttering when she wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer as we trekked ahead, my mind was buzzing, Trudy, my long time overdue crush, had her arm around my shoulders but I tried not to react, though I knew my face was red as the great leonopteryx, keeping my eyes at the ground disguising it in the search for new plants, i talked when i had to, with short replies as in not to make a fool of myself.
Hours passed, the sky was slightly darker but the sun was still bright, as I collected enough samples for today, turning around to go back from were we came but stilled on the spot when every route looked the same, Trudy looked at me wide eyes too, we were lost, i reached my hand up to my comms but felt nothing but my skin "shit, i forgot my comms'' she looked at me with a "no shit" look, i cringed, what a nice day to choose my human body to explore rather than my avatar, i groaned, Trudy sighed sitting down on a log, i dropped down next to her clutching my sample box to my chest, we could only wait till they come find us, i looked at Trudy ``I'm sorry, i should have brought my comms'' She just laughed, nudging me with her shoulder "hey, it's okay, it's not like you did it on purpose, anyways you look cute when you blush" and i felt like my eyes would pop out, did she just call me cute? I was no better than the puddle on the ground, my throat constricted as I stuttered "tru- Trudy, i-" but I was cut off with a sickening crack of a branch resonated around us, our heads snapped towards it as a gigantic ikran made a straight dive towards us.
My eyes widened as a scream erupted from my throat, everything in my mind buzzed silent, my body stopped moving, my lungs felt like they were on fire, my legs moving on their own, stumbling through the thicket of the forest, it felt like the world was spinning, my foot stumbled on a root as i fell down on the ground, but i didn't care, tears streamed down my eyes but my mind whirled back to the memory (scroll down to the trivia section, first point) of being plummeted to the ground after the leonopteryx attacked our Samson 029, the roar of of beast ringed in my ears, tears now stained my t-shirt but i convulsed on myself, the ground rocked beneath me, everything felt too bright, too loud, i sniffled, wiping my eyes but more tears ran down, i tried to muffle my cries but sobs wrecked through my body, it was suffocating me, making it hard to breath, the forest too lively as i coward back, i tried to think about happy memories but the fall overpowered everything.
My cries worsened, my breaths labored , i flinched back when two arms pulled me in, i screamed pulling back but they held me down, keeping me still, their warm body enveloping my, now, cold and sweaty one, they nuzzle their head near my ear, whispering "shh shh, it's me, Trudy, I'm here, calm down honey, I'm here, I'm with you, you're okay" she said in a hurried voice, i looked up to see her, her smile bright, she caressed my back as i broke down in her arms, my body shaking while my mouth was dry as the desert, nausea bubbled up and i doubled over, dry heaving, she coddled me in her arms, whispering sweet nothings and words of affirmation, making me feel better as best as she could in the middle of nowhere of a forest on strange planet, i calmed down after a while, still clinging to her body with my head buried in her neck, what i didn't realize that i was seated in her lap, my labored breathing now even and my hazed mind clearing out, i felt dizzy after such an episode, Trudy's voice was soft as she spoke "are feeling okay now sweetheart?" I stared at her wide eyed, how long has it been? Breaking the eye contact, I looked around, the sky was now dark, the eclipse had fallen, the forest around us glowing, the bioluminescent plants casting soft shades over Trudy's face, making her even more gorgeous in my eyes.
»»————- ♡ ————-««
She helped me stand up after I was sure I wouldn't tumble over myself, but as I straighten up my previous wave of nausea came back with double the force and I bent down emptying my stomach right next to the tree, Trudy held my hair, rubbing her hand down my back as I hurled my stomach's content, when I finally finished my heaving she removed her water pack from her belt, helping me clean up, i was shaking from head to toe as I stuttered again "i- i'm- sorry, i didn't mean-" she cut me of kissing me on the forehead as she said against my hair "it's okay, darling, it's not your fault, just calm down, I'm here now, I know" she gently pulled me in for a hug, pressing another kiss on my hair, thankfully I had no vomit on my clothes so that was a relief, i melted in her embrace letting myself relax in her arms, pulling away from the hug she asked "are you feeling good enough to walk?" I nodded, not trusting my voice at the moment, so we both began our walk forward in the illuminated forest in hopes to find the lab.
We walked for hours , exploring the forest, i showed her many sights and creatures from afar, i didn't even feel how the time went by, with her by my side I felt safe, her presence calming my Brain down and I was sure a search party was sent for us by now but it'd be hours before they find us, Trudy had her arm around my waist, her other holding my hand, intertwining our fingers together, the sample case lost long ago when I ran away so now we had to make another trip for collection but that was an afterthought, first we needed to reach the lab to even register it being lost. After a lot of walking and complaining for my side we stumbled upon a cave, deciding this was better than sleeping under the open sky, Trudy went in first checking the cave out, at the end of examination we settled inside, Trudy kept her gun aside, coming to my side as we used our body heat, time passed by and soon rain started to drizzle down, blowing cold Breeze inside the cave.
As we sat together, our stomachs rumbling for food but we both didn't pack anything as we didn't discuss being lost with an ikran chasing us. I leaned my head on her shoulder, minutes passed before she asked "what happened?" I looked at her confused, then she elaborated "when you saw the ikran, why did you run away?" I looked down feeling embarrassed but she hooked a finger under my chin, making me look at her, i sighed remembering the events of the accident, i took a deep breath before I spoke –
** I sat with Myra and Ezra them beside me in the Samson, we were ordered to collect the specimens this time and being a little more advanced than them i was elected as the incharge of the trip, grace couldn't come on this one because of the meeting she had with Parker, Kyle was our armed escort and James was the one flying us towards the undiscovered section, i was jumping in my seat from excitement, this is my first trip as incharge, anyone would be excited, Myra and Ezra were here for research as they completed their 5 years long course to join us, the chopper gilded without a problem, cutting its way to the dropping point, wind blew through my hair, i closed my eyes enjoying the sensation, gripping my seatbelt, taking a deep breath, i sighed but my peaceful state for broken when we jolted as something impacted on the side of the samson, i whipped my head, staring in horror as I saw Ezra's head being ripped of by jaws bigger than I've ever seen, Myra screamed as Ezra's blood sprayed on us, the chopper was pivoted around and my body bent at an odd angle, a loud roar made it clear that it was no other than the great leonopteryx.
i screamed when we were bashed into a mountain side, the beast poking it's head in, when the creature saw Myra, it wasted no time before she was taken away, her blood left on me and the seat she sat in, my mind blaring, Kyle immediately unhooked my seatbelt but before I could do anything, the chopper was slammed again and my foot slipped, Kyle tried to grab me , James was screaming to get the parachutes but it was all drowned in the air that rushed passed my ears as I plummeted to the ground, the trees and bushes softening my fall, i laid on the forest floor while I watched our Samson 029 burst into flames, killing the remaining of the passengers while the beast flew away with roar, the flames bruning it's skin, it's trail so Swift as if it didn't just kill my whole crew, tears welled in my eyes but i couldn't move, my body in too much pain from the fall, i laid there was hours before the RDA tracked me down by the comms, i was admitted in the ICU ward for over a month while I healed, that accident branded itself in my mind , a day i could neve forget, there was a mourning period held for Myra, Ezra, Kyle and James but i was so guilt stricken, i couldn't bare to attend it. From that moment on, it took me a year and a half before I went on an exploration again.**
Trudy was struck when I finished, of course she knew about the incident but to hear it from me? It was horrifying, new batch of tears ran down my cheeks as I recalled the memory again, she heaved me in her arms and I cuddled closer to her for warmth, my body ran cold while her's felt like a furnace, a comfortable silence taking over, i scooted near her even more, her chuckled reverberated in the cave at my movements and I looked up at her squinting my eyes "what?! I'm cold!" She just laughed even more at that and kissed my forehead before saying "No, not that, I'm so proud of you, i couldn't have taken this anywhere nearly as good as you did, thank fucking god you made out alive" she laughed again nuzzling her face in the side of my face, i couldn't help but stare at her laugh lines, my mind going silent asbi mulled over her compliments, i exhaled in relief, her smile lighting up my mood, her laugh so sweet I wanted to bottle it up and listen it was hours but by then I was brought out of my thoughts as she stared back at me, blood rushed to my cheeks, her eyes held a softness i couldn't ignore, i tilled my head knowing exactly what was going on in her mind, just then she leaned in slightly, her breath fanning over my lips, i couldn't take it anymore and connected them finally, her lips soft as clouds, making me melt against her, after what felt like days but were mere seconds, i pulled back gasping for air and so did she, i laughed, it felt surreal, i was kissing Trudy chacon and she was kissing me back! She looked at me once and before laughing herself, not wasting i pulled her in for another kiss, smashing my lips on hers.
»»————- ♡ ————-««
We were still stuck in the cave, the rain now pouring down, cutting of any chances of the RDA searching for us in this kind of weather, but we made the most out of it, she was on top of me, kissing down my jaw and neck, leaving a line of hickies in its wake, my hands in her hair, arms around her neck, while she worked on me, her lips connecting with mine again, dragging her tongue over my bottom lip, requesting for entrance, i let her inn, her tongue immediately dominated mine, swiping over it, i moaned in the kiss, her hands roamed down to my shorts when a crack of lightning boomed through the air and we both stopped looking outside, staring at each other again we both laughed, she fell beside me near the entrance, as we wheezed, chuckling like mad heads, my laughter came to a stop as i yawned, today's exhaustion dawning over me, she yawned too and i cuddled into her side, her arm being my makeshift pillow while her other arm draped over my waist lugging me close, i sighed shifting in a comfortable grip, my eyes dropping close and sleep lulled me into a peaceful slumber. The best sleep I had in a while too, I guess being lost in the forest wasn't so bad afterall…
Tumblr media
A/n : some scenes in this had me kicking my feet and shit, i love her so much, please request more of her, she's so freaking amazing omggggg, she shouldn't have died 😭😭 Bring her back please, I need more Trudy content!!!

Jeremy Hutchins: PDA | Drive Shack p.2
-Jeremy x Reader-
!!CW!! — Brief Public Acts (Nothing too crazy at all); Belly Worship, Navel Play
Words: 808
A/N: So… Part 1 of Drive Shack was just supposed to be a short little one-off… just a little tease, I guess… but I couldn’t stop myself from adding more to the story. My plan is to make this a short little series — probably with 3 to 5 parts — just taking us through the rest of the night. I’ve finally got some inspiration, to write something so I’m gonna try and ride it out 😂.
Tumblr media
_________________________________
"Good job tonight, baby." You congratulate Jeremy, as he finishes up his final swing. "You still haven't topped my score... but you got your form right, and that's a good start."
"Yeah, yeah... whatever," he sniggers, "I hit that ring I wanted to hit... I'm pretty sure. That means you owe me some cheesy fries... extra large... and you gotta kiss this belly while I eat." Stepping down from the teeing platform, he slips his hand under his shirt and gives his stomach a gentle smack. "This... big boy belly."
You can't help but to smile as he sets his club into it's slot in the club-holder. Hearing him call himself by that name — even though he hates it — and seeing his hand glide across his gut... it fills your entire body with butterflies. "Yeah... okay. I mean, I don't see any proof of a hit, so you could be lying... but, I admit, I gave you my word."
"Yeah, you did. And now... you gotta deliver."
"Well, It's only fair I do. How about this? Go find our server, and order those cheese fries. Tell him you want them to-go. We're getting out of here. Sound good? But... uh... first, you gotta come over here, with me. I wanna give you a taste of what you're gonna get later. A quick sample, if you will."
"A sample? How you gonna do that?"
"C'mere, and find out. My lips are tingling."
"Aye! I like the sound of that." His stomach still cradled in the palm of his hand, Jeremy waddles over to you, and looks around the room. "Hurry up and do whatever you're gonna do," he giggles — hesitantly raising the bottom of his shirt, "Someone might see us. I don't wanna get kicked out."
"So what if they do? We're just having a little fun... and, anyway, what I'm about to do has nothing on what you're gonna get later." Holding him by the waist, you press your lips against his belly, and begin to scatter a bunch of little, dry kisses across his skin. You feel like a bird, pecking at him this way... but it's the most you can do, without being indecent. "Damn, you taste good, baby." You sigh. "You've been sweating up there, huh? How's this feel?"
"Oh... wow." He chuckles, like a giddy child. "That... that tickles. Hehe. I kinda like it. Mmmm. Feels nice."
"Yeah? Well, there's a lot more where that came from. You'll see... soon enough." Your mouth held to his abdomen, you stick out your tongue, and trail it around his belly button — in a huge circle — just to tease him. The minty odor of your breath stirs in your nostrils as soon as it makes contact with his flesh — mixing with the stench of his putrid sweat. The smell is divine... so foul, and manly.
"Ugh! Ah!" Jeremy moans, overwhelmed by the new sensation. "That's... that's so good. Fuck!"
You can hear him losing his breath, as he fights to hold in his sighs of pleasure. It's a good feeling, having the power to weaken him this way... to turn his big, solid body to mush, with just the tip of your tongue.
You begin to rock his hips back and forth, swaying your body against his; causing him to go limp in the safety of your tight grasp. "Okay... okay... stop." He pants — his feeble hands unsure if they should pull your head closer to him, or push back against your shoulders. "Stop it. Please! People are... people are looking at me."
"Are they?" You smirk. "I can't say I blame 'em. If I saw a belly like this in the wild, I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off it... or my lips." You plant one more kiss on his gut — indulging the nosy voyeurs — and lower his shirt. "It's beautiful! And it tastes so damn good."
"You're so gross, dude. Stop it. Cover me up... hehe... and let my shirt go. That family over there is watching. I think they have kids."
"Okay... fine." You whisper, your breath blowing through the thin material of his tank top. "I'll stop. You've had a big enough sample, anyway. I don't wanna spoil our fun. Gotta make you wait. Now, go get yourself some fries. I'll send you the money while you look for our server... and, if anyone asks you about what they just saw, tell them you're pregnant, and I'm a little overzealous."
"What? Pregnant? I'm not that big. Nobody's gonna buy it."
"Sure they will. Poke out your gut. Rub it a little. Give 'em a show. Trust me, they'll believe you... especially those little perverts over there." Smiling up at him, you give him a firm slap on his ass. "Go ahead. Go. I'm gonna start packing up our stuff."

On a scale of Blegh to Slay Girl, which OB character design is the best and worst?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'll be talking about my own thoughts in this post, but if you're interested in seeing a larger sample size's opinion on this question, you can check out the results of this poll! Vil was initially hardcore in the lead, but over time (I think because someone datamined and shared Malleus's full body OB design during the period in which the poll ran) Malleus overtook him.
From personal Blegh (worst/least liked) to Slay Girl (best/most liked):
Azul — This is the first “real” look we’ve had of his true form, and it doesn’t leave a good impression on me. It’s not that I don’t like Azul’s look as an octopus, the proportions of his tentacles just seem… off?? Like I feel like they should be much longer than they actually are. Additionally, the design of the tentacles makes them look plasticy and fake, almost like pool toys you’d blow up and then whack around in the water.
I also feel like because of Azul being an octopus, the design feels a little empty and the designers overcompensated by cover up the empty space (ie slapping random stuff on). The placement of the shells on his lower body is very weird on him, and compared to his collar (the necklace, the coral spiking off his shoulders) there’s not a lot happening here. The harsh black blot against the grey-purple of his skin also looks very jarring (which, as you’ll see, will continue to be a point of contention for me as we get into other OBs). Perhaps the only element I like in Azul’s OB is his crown, which resembles King Triton’s (you know, after Ursula yoinked it from him). It’s not too much embellishment like the elements at his collar, and it’s not oddly placed like the shells are.
Vil — I like his sleeves, veil, and little metal talons!! I also appreciate this his single glowing eye has blot running down like tears or running mascara! … That’s about it. I find that nothing else about his look does it for me 💦 Vil’s chest feels… oddly empty?? It’s like he has no form at all there because of how unnaturally smooth it is. And while I kind of get where the devs are going with the religious imagery and the incorporation of peacock feathers, I don’t think it all visually meshes very well together. The blot that his fabric fades into ends up looking like weird clumps of hair sticking onto the ends of Vil’s train and sleeves because no one was there to hold them up for him to keep them clean.
His crown is meant to make him look regal and imposing, but I just giggle a little because it looks so… chunky that it comes off as comedic and top-heavy (like he’ll keel over from the weight of it any second now). Yes, I understand it’s the same crown as that of the Beautiful Queen; I just think the extra things they added to it (ie the peacock feathers in the halo) gives additional weight that isn’t needed. I’m not sure if I get the weird spikes at his waist either; it was probably to better color distribute the scarce white in his look, but I feel like some other design element would have made it look less disjointed.
Malleus — This look is what I jokingly call “Nosferatu”; it reminds me a LOT of a stereotypical vampire, from the cape and slicked back hair to the zombie-like tint to the skin and draconian is this considered a pun clothing. The skin (being a reference to Maleficent) is, of course, a muted green color. That… just makes Malleus look hella seasick to me DX maybe like he has some cyanosis coming on??? In any case, I don’t like it. hdisbskskxos ANOTHER THING, THE GLOW IN THE DARK/LIGHT UP HORNS AND TAIL ARE SO FUNNY 😂 It doesn’t make me take him seriously as a threat when he’s over here lighting up like a lava lamp.
The main thing that makes me like this design a little over Vil’s is that the colors of neon green and deep blue-purple offer a greater contrast between the super dark parts of his clothing. There are also little details I appreciate, like how the blot on Malleus’s face forms little black scales like that of a dragon or a lizard and the continuous incorporation of thorns throughout the design. There are thorns over his torso, thorns crawling up his waist, thorns forming the “cage” of his skirt, and thorns climbing up from his cape—it really sells the imagery that his own insecurities and loneliness are swallowing him. The thorns on his chest are of particular interest to me 👁️ It’s like Malleus has “walled off” his heart to intruders, refusing to let them into his perfect dream world where no one leaves him. It just works well thematically!!
Jamil — I know Jamil’s OB design is really unpopular. I didn’t initially like it that much either, but the more and more I thought about it, the more I realized that while I don’t think the outfit is awful, it’s Jamil’s physical traits that drive people off from him. I actually really enjoy many elements of his OB: the tattered veil, how his skirt flares out at the end, the shoes, the beads, the draping cloth of his sleeves… The problem is, that’s not what my eyes are immediately drawn to. I’m way too busy staring at his snake hair and fake facial hair to notice anything else 😂
The snake hair looks so goofy (I think because of them lacking a lot of detail), and I'm not sure if the hair turban was a good choice either. I think it gives kind of clashing ideas as well??? The idea of snake hair invokes thoughts of Medusa, who is more closely linked to Greek mythology (which, thematically speaking, is more of an Ignihyde thing than a Scarabia thing; I’m not saying that Idia should have snake hair, but the fact that it was put on Jamil who had no association with Greek mythology may feel slightly off). The blot pooling at his chin and forming pseudo facial hair is also pretty silly (I know it's to mimic Jafar's goatee, but it's still weird to see on Jamil). Altogether, it creates a weird initial impression, especially when combined with the various over-the-top facial expressions Jamil makes while in this form.
Riddle — Here’s the part where I admit I probably ranked Riddle high due in part to nostalgia and because I’m really into Alice in Wonderland motifs 🤡 I think it’s a nicely balanced design, not only because of the even distribution of black and red in the dress (plus white as a much needed accent color), but you very clearly get the “Queen of Hearts” vibe without the very obvious overabundance of hearts everywhere. There’s a lot of neat little details, like the roses at his waist, the “spider legs” of playing cards, the loops of the bow that form a “heart” behind him, and the incorporation of suits into his choker and various other areas.
One thing that I think helps Riddle really stand out is just how small he is compared to everyone else; his OB outfit helps to further emphasize that, with the length of his dress’s train curling around him. We see the size difference highlighted in the battle against him as well. Riddle’s Phantom looks over him while he floats slightly hunched over, as if a puppet on strings. It makes me think of how his mother still has a strong hold on him, so she’s the one “in control” of his strings, the one influencing his toxic behavior. That lends Riddle’s OB a lot more personality in my eyes.
Idia — Cringe lines aside, I like how different and dynamic Idia’s OB is! The electronic mouth guard helps him be a lot more expressive than he usually is, and all the blue flames and swirling blot creates a super distinctive look. (I’m especially a fan of the vortex of blot that makes up the lower half of his design.) Blue and black work really well together, and I also feel like that color combination is good for emphasizing the sleek, cybernetic armor Idia sports, with the black part being metal and the blue part being the lights/energy/magic/electricity coursing through that powers it.
I guess the one big con against Idia’s design is that it doesn’t much resemble Hades. However, I tend to find that I have a preference for more subtle design elements in OBs, so I don’t really mind this. There’s enough sprinkled in to get the idea, from the stripe of cloth hanging from Idia’s clavicle to the slender (resembling the robes of Hades), pointed fingers of his gloves (again, similar to Hades), and even the vortex of his armor (like the spirits of the underworld swirling around). A lot of the tech elements help make Idia stand out and tie back to the trauma he experienced, so I think retaining the robotic nature of the OB is a must!
Leona — The single major qualm I have with this design is his lack of footwear 🥲 I never want to see bare feet (I won’t go into detail, but let’s just say it’s related to a traumatic childhood memory). Other than that, I think this is the most cohesive design of the OB boys. It's not too much, but it's also not too little, and the colors aren't too garish, nor too much black. The slicked back hair and furry collar resemble a lion's mane, and even something as understated as Leona's silhouette is made to better resemble his Disney counterpart (Scar's body shape is replicated using a corset of sorts). The blot covering his hands also gives him sharper nails, similar to a lion's claws. Leona's jewelry is also an interesting choice; the necklaces, of course, resemble the teeth of a predator, but everywhere else the jewelry seems very shackle and chain-like, perhaps alluding to how Leona feels resigned to his fate because of something he cannot control (his birth order). He's trying to break free of those attempts to keep him down, rebelling against people's low expectations of him.
The fabric that's draped over his lower half is a little on-the-nose; it's ramshackle and stitched together, resembling "scars" (geddit, cuz "Scar"). In the context of an OB though, I think I can overlook this. All of them feel broken, so seeing torn and ruined elements only makes sense. You can see his tail chilling inside of that cage of stitched fabric, but just barely because there's also golden cloth in front mostly covering it. To me, this is a good thing because tails on humanoid characters kind of unnerves me 😅
Anyway, those are my thoughts on all the OB designs ^^ I hope that was at least somewhat interesting to read.

oh shit? whats that skanking this way? are those some more summer songs? are those some summer songs spliced seamlessly alongside some ska since Skaugust started? seems interesting, maybe u should pick em up and take a listen if u get the chance... might be the rudest sounds of the SKAmmer...

Death Grips is Online - Death Grips: i was looking at my 'summer rewind' on spotify and this was apparently a death grips song i had listened to a lot a few years ago just without getting into any more death grips after that? it makes sense tho i was listening to a lot of igor of tyler the creator fame around that time. i was probably like ooooh this has that hard cunchy igor bass i like. and was like 😂 what the heck is the rest of their stuff tho seriously tihs is craazy 😂. probably is how i was like back then. tch. fool.
Flaunt It/Cheap - Rae Sremmurd: amen break waveform tattooed on my forehead running up to u voice HEY U SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS SONG THEY.

Helium - Ecco2k (Drain Gang Archives): comes back excitedly to talk about draing gang ^w^. this time around our drain gang entrance is actually a bootleg posted by a drain gang leak aggregator on spotify. in case u were wonering this is probably the best of those unreleased/leaked songs ........... ecco's voice fits this song so well with all his falsetto stuff (get it it's like helihey it's like a helium balloon get it his voice it's hifh) but he also does that on his other songs bc he's a beautiful angel. GOd and his pouty fucking sighs in the chorus god i just wann[
Merlin's Staff - Ski Mask The Slump God: as i posted about before i love me some ski mask :) i hadnt listened to a lot of his new stuff until i watched his most recent interview with nardwuar. it is from here that i found this song bc ski mask references nardy on the track. HOWEVER. i would be remiss if i did not talk about my favorite lyric from this song that ive refrained from just posting as is. makes me GIGGLE every goddamn time.
"On the go like Mario, drive in a kart
Lisa Simpson, her head sharp"
now he does bring this back around to be a joke about her "giving brain" but just that line alone with the cadence gets stuck in my head. Li. sa. Simp. son. Her. Head. Sharp.
Morning Bell - Radiohead: speaking of... head? been catching up with ol mr. head recently on account of people i know whose music opinions i trust liking his tunes a lot (hai :3) this is My preferred morning bell btw.... for u music perverts out there who wanna know (hai :3) .... the drum groove is irresistible and the piano feels so cooold. cmon its in 5/4.... like im sorry to those whom i may have disappointed i do like amnesiac morning bell it feels a lot eerier.. yet brighter with all the bells? and the 'release me's in that one are very pretty but. kid a morning bell 👍
your clothes - Jane Remover: still havent listened to new jane BUT i have gone back to revisit old stuff i hadnt listened to in a while. upon listening to this one i was reminded Wow! Jane just doesn't miss! so congrats to Jane the Remover on being the only artist to have never left some songs thus far. may ur reign be long.
Last Summer Whisper - Anri: i leave you with this. the last whisper of summer. the last whisper of my city pop kick. the last whisper of some songs until fall right guys? do u guys hear a train?

Train to Skaville (Live) - The Selecter: ALLLLLLLLL ABOOOOOOOAAAARRRD. THIS TRAIN. IS BOUND. FOR. SKAVILLE!!!!!!!!! wait oh shit i can't leave yet i have a train to catch 😳someone made a joke to me last year about this song (i believe it was in September they said 'the train to skaville has left the station') and i straight up didnt get it at the time bc i was kind of a poser skahead when i made my skaugust post eheh nervous laughs bc i pretended to know it in that post ehehe ^^ . i do believe in ska fans beliefs (that ska is good, and anticapitalism probably) i just didnt know much about it besides like stupid horse did it that one time and that post about a kid getting an extra mozz stick.. anyway fast forward one year this fucking song is the idle music in my head. i pretend to be that funky ass bass on this song a lot too hehe. there are MANT live versions of this song on yt so i chose the most fitting one for the playlist but the one ive been listening to is the spotify one -w-
Superman - Goldfinger - this is the archetypal ska song to me. and u know why. that fucking post about that kid getting an extra mozzarella stick and ska plays in his head. from uo there ^. this is the song on that post. this is like capital s Ska to me. u know how people associate dnb with really slick games u grind on rails and skate/snowboard in. make the main character 12 and sucking ass on his first shitty skateboard rolling around his neighborhood and the soundtrack is now ska. only this song actually. it is good tho is the important thing
Never Meant - Skatune Network, JER:
.
I'm Not Okay (I Promise) - Skatune Network, JER:
.
Come on Eileen - Save Ferris:
.
Take On Me - Reel Big Fish: what can i say im a sucker for a ska cover? SKA-ver. heh so true
Old SKrAp - Jeff Rosenstock: i believe jeff rosenstock has done other things which i will get to eventually like all things but i know him specifically for having made an album called No Dream (that i... havent listened to :/) which released in 2020 (05/20 specifically). and then.. on 04/20 of 2021 (!!!!!!!!!!! WEEED WEED ITS WEED) he released Ska Dream, which, of course, is a complete reworking of No Dream but to be Ska instead. the original title of this song is Old Crap which they still sing in the song i just love how they put SKA into the title. all of them are like this btw.
stupid horse - 100 gecs: the OG. also s/o aimkid amv. s/o all aimkid amvs but thats beside the point. there was a point in 100 gecstory that there were maybe only a few interviews they did after 1000 gecs and ofc not many live performance videos besides minecraft festival screen recordings and maybe one video of a show from the secret tour. but there was an interview from skullcandy of all places with an accompanying live performance of stupid horse that i rewatched sevreal times :) ......... i thought the neon green and yellow set pieces and outfits were cool ok??? anyway fucking stupid horse yeah a swordfish dancer spend my money on a fishnet carousel go go go go goin so fast now go go go go goin so fast now.
Frog On The Floor - 100 gecs: and then they did it again :)
I Got My Tooth Removed - 100 gecs: and did it again :)
Two-By-Four-And-A-Half - Thee Goblins: as i said before ive been narding it up recently with some nardwuar interviews. my favorite thing about him is his elusiveness as like. a guy who does things besides being nardwuar. and my favorite story about him doing other things is that on his quest to interviewing kurt cobain, he tried talking to dave grohl and somehow dave recognized nardwuar from a band he's in (this band Thee Goblins :3). but the band wears masks when they perform so u cant see its nardwuar. and he still knew it was him without the mask and i guess felt enough respect for nardwuar in that moment to decide to get him an in with kurt, which did come to fruition BTW. anyway this song is a SKA SONG by NARDWUAR himself.... this isn't on the yt playlist unfortch but there is a good video of the nardman himself and others as thee goblins.
Ska Sucks - Big D and the Kids Table: found this one while just ska-ouring ska-tify for more ska. and idk theres just something in a good subversive title (and lyrics if u venture to take a listen >w< ).anyway this ska doesn't suck its quite good actually :) this is a theme in ska if u could not tell. being quite good not sucking. sorry if that was unclear.
yyyaWWWn ummmmmmmn.. okay This is ewher i leave u.. with all the skanking ive been doing i believe ive kicked up a month long ska storm... but i hear there are some pretty rude winds forecasted to come in later today so oerhaps keep ur ears to the wind on that front 😳... um anyway peels off in my car i am sooooo licensed to operate leaving u behind with this helpful guidento steer your path. and this, thjs last SKA-mmer whisper, is how ill leave u until fall music fans :3 <3

Could you talk a bit about how you design your OCs from a visual level? I really love their designs. Only if you have the time and energy of course <3
Thank you so much omg 💕 I was trying to think of a good way to answer this question, but the truth is my methods are very nebulous and hard to define! I’ll do my best though 🥳
Some characters come to me very easily, some go through a few revisions, and some go through a meat grinder of revisions lol. Rune was easy, her design was just in my head right off the bat from years of drawing/thinking about demons. Yorick was a little different. Awhile back I played a ttrpg and designed this character:
Tumblr media
Look familiar? This is prototype Yorick!! (I have this on my portfolio at a higher res if you wanna zoom in or something idk) She was a character who was kind of elfin and was a clown who controlled shadows. When I started pinning down the stories and characters of A Slowly Beating Heart I KNEW I had to put a demonic clown in there, and I thought of this design.
A phase I go through when designing characters when im not sure how they’re gonna look is doing a bunch of iterations based on vibes. Here’s some of the earliest Yorick sketches I could find, you can see how they don’t quite look “right” yet:
Tumblr media
Like the vibes were there but that’s not our Yorick! Here’s what I think might be the first or second sketch I did where they look right:
Tumblr media
I used the old Yorick I had designed but finally modified the outfit and design in a way that pleased me. I went with this design, and went through some minor edits with the colors, and boom, the demon clown was born! (Though even in this image they aren’t quite right, in the final comic I got rid of the lines on their horns and saturated the green parts of their eyes):
Tumblr media
Melody is another story. Versions of Melody had also been living in my mind for almost as long as Rune, but never as a solid design. I have a zillion sketches of Melody that don’t look at all like how she looks now. It wasn’t until right before her appearance in the comic that I actually decided to refine her character design. Since I had never quite solidified how she looked in my mind, getting her on paper was quite the task. Her hairstyle was already on my mind, but I did a bunch of different versions of her halo and outfits. I put a bunch of designs together and sent them out to my friends to ask them to vote on their favorite outfit to help me decide 😂:
Tumblr media
In the end Melody’s outfit didn’t quite look like any of these, because they’re all somewhat complex, and I need things to stay really simple for comics. Once I had designed the outfit the struggle still wasn’t over, cause now I had to do colors. Here’s just a small sampling of the color pallets I went through:
Tumblr media
I guess if I was gonna break down my process into steps, it would be like this:
1. Sketch a bunch of ideas based on vibes
2. Choose my fav and then refine it further by tweaking the outfit/hair ect
3. Try out a lot of different colors and keep adjusting them until they look right
4. Give birth to my Art Child 💃✨🙌
I don’t always do all that, and some of the design processes for certain characters happen a little differently. But that’s basically it! Sorry this was super long, I hope it helped!!

Title: Two Sides, Same Coin
Pairing: Jim Gordon/Reader, !Past Quentin Lance/Reader
Rating: PG13 (some suggestive language, dark humor)
Summary: When your former partner shows up in Gotham City asking for help on a case, Jim gets a bit jealous after learning more about your history.
Notes: This idea came from the previous oneshot I posted, Sleep Just To Dream. I started thinking about exploring the reverse, where Jim is jealous and Reader has to reassure him. Also, Quentin Lance from the Arrowverse, makes an appearance in this one shot. I realize that they are veeery loosely the same universe, and at the end of the day, not really since the Nolanverse is sort of stand alone, but too bad. I did it. It's done. I am not sorry, Paul Blackthorne is hot as well 😂 Divider by @firefly-graphics.
Warning: mentions of alcoholism, past trauma.
Tumblr media
DD5s were among the most boring paperwork that existed in law enforcement, but much to your chagrin, they were necessary. You, of course, were a master procrastinator, letting them pile up until you had little choice but to finish them lest you not be able to ever find your desk with how many there were to enter into the system. While you waited on the result of a DNA sample, you had some time to kill and decided to at least get started on them, when a familiar voice sounded from behind you.
“I see you still let your paperwork pile up.”
A smile formed on your lips as you swiveled your chair around before you stood. “Like you’re any better than I am.” Closing the couple of steps between you, you flung your arms around your former partner, Detective Quentin Lance of SCPD. “How’ve you been, Lance?”
“Oh, you know,” he answered, hugging you back. “One day at a time, keep it simple.”
The common AA phrases made your smile widen as you pulled away. Quentin had fallen on hard times after his daughter, Sara, died, turning to his work and alcohol to help him drown the pain. Of course, having you for a partner — a rookie who had just earned her shield and was still in the throes of her early twenties — hadn’t exactly helped. In the end, his vices had cost him his marriage, which only seemed to make things worse for a while. By the time you had transferred to Gotham, he had better control over his drinking, though he would still go on a bender every once in a while.
“That’s great to hear. I’m proud of you, Quentin.”
“Thanks,” he said, returning your smile. “How about you, huh? Looks like you’re doing pretty good here.” He glanced around the precinct for emphasis.
Your eyes flickered to Jim’s office, where he was hunched over paperwork as you nodded. “Yeah, things are great.” You look back at Quentin. “So, what brings you all the way to Gotham?”
“Actually, hoping to talk to you about a case I’m workin’. Background check showed the perp has a record in Gotham City, I wondered if you could let me have a look at them.”
“Yeah, sure, I just have to clear it with my Sarge, but I’m sure it’ll be fine,” you replied, gesturing to Jim with one hand. “But you could’a called for that, so… what gives? Why fly all the way across the country?”
He smiled nervously in an effort to mask the fact that he’d been caught with his hand in a cookie jar. “You got me. Uh…” He glanced around the room again. “My captain doesn’t exactly know I’m here. Sorta used some of my PTO to come here on a hunch.”
You nodded once. “Okay.”
“Captain wants me to let this one go, but —”
“You can’t,” you offered with a smile.
He held out his hands at his sides. “You know me, once I get my hooks in something —”
“You don’t let go until you’ve reeled it in,” you finished, adding fondly, “Same ole Quentin.”
There was a bit of pink that made its way to his cheeks as he mirrored your nod and lowered his eyes.
“You got a name?”
“Yeah!” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a scrap of paper, unfolding it and handing it to you. “Tyson Beckett, I like him for a string of homicides.”
“Okay. Give me a couple hours? We can go for a cup of coffee,” you suggested.
“Yeah, that’d be great. I appreciate any help you can give,” he replied. “I’ll just run to the hotel. Be back in two? Sound good?”
“Sounds great, see you then,” you answered.
“Alright,” he said, taking a step back, his smile warm and nostalgic. “It’s good to see you.”
Your cheeks grew warm as you answered, “It’s good to see you, too, partner.”
You waited until he left the precinct before you walked to Jim’s office, leaned against the doorframe and knocked on the open door. He looked up and gave you a smirk, returning his attention to the report he was filling out.
“Aren’t you supposed to be clearing your DD5s?” he asked.
“I was,” you answered, stepping into the office and closing the door, as was your habit any time you discussed police business to ensure you didn’t have any unintended listeners. “Quentin Lance is in town.”
He didn’t look up as he replied. “Your old partner from Starling City?”
“Yeah, he was asking about a suspect for a case he’s working. Apparently the guy has a record in Gotham, Lance wanted to know if he could have a look at those files.”
“He came all the way here in person for that?” Jim asked, finally looking up at you. “He could’a done that in a phone call.”
You bobbed your shoulders. As much as you hated being evasive with Jim, Lance was once your partner, and the habit of covering for your partner wasn’t an easy one to shake. “Yeah, I dunno, I guess it’s just a sensitive case.”
Jim smirked and leaned back in his seat as he arched a brow at you. “You’re a terrible liar.”
You should’ve known Jim would see right through you. “Well, you might have an unfair advantage. You’ve seen me naked, been inside me, so.”
His smirk widened. “My favorite place to be.”
Trying to suppress a smile, you nodded as your cheeks warmed under his stare.
“Look, I get it, he was your partner, you’re covering for him,” he said, letting his chair fall gracefully back into place, his elbows propping themselves against the edge of his desk. “But if there's something I should know, I hope you’ll tell me.”
You averted your eyes, taking a deep breath. “His captain doesn’t exactly know he’s here.”
“So he’s gone rogue,” Jim assumed.
“Sort of. Look, Lance is… he’s a bit bullheaded. Once he catches a bone, it’s really hard to get him to let go.”
Sighing heavily, Jim leaned back in his seat again, rocking back and forth. “You trust him?”
“Yes.”
He nodded and sat up again. “If this somehow comes back to bite us, it’s gonna be on you,” he warned.
“Understood.”
“That the name?” he asked, gesturing with his eyes and a nod at the slip in your hand.
You set down the scrap of paper Quentin had given you. “Tyson Beckett. Quentin likes him for a string of murders back in Starling.”
“Yeah, I’ll put a call down to Admin, let them know you’re coming down.”
You smiled at him. “Thank you.”
Turning to leave, you got as far as the door when you considered whether you should tell him about the history you and Lance had. On one hand, it had been one drunken night of passion, and had led nowhere. At the time, you were far too focused on proving yourself a worthy detective and Quentin was too focused on drowning his grief that it had only been one night. Still, you felt compelled to be forthcoming, especially since your relationship with Jim was so much deeper.
“Actually, there’s one other thing that — in the spirit of honesty — I should probably tell you,” you said, turning to face him and slipping your fingers into your front pockets.
“What is it?”
Your lips began to form the words, and you rattled off the cliff notes as quickly as you could. “We sort of hooked up this one time. Years ago. It was no big deal, didn’t mean anything, it was just the one time. Okay, bye!”
You started to open the door.
“Wait a minute, wait!” he called out, one hand reaching in your direction. He swatted at the air, silently telling you to close the door again.
You did, mentally preparing for whatever would come, hands sliding into your pockets again.
“You can’t just say that and then walk out.”
“It was really nothing,” you tried to assure him.
“Well, it wasn’t nothing. You ‘hooked up’, does that mean…” He waited for you to fill in the blank.
“We had sex, one time. It was a stupid, drunken hook up. It didn’t mean anything, and it never happened again,” you explained.
Jim let out a breath, slumping back in his seat as he tried to digest what you had just told him. Looking back at you, he tilted his head. “Well, this sort of changes things, doesn't it?”
“Why would it?”
“How do you know that’s not the real reason he’s here? This whole Tyson Beckett case could be a ruse just to see you again.”
You shook your head, smiling at him. “It’s not.”
“How do you know?”
“Because that’s ridiculous! First of all, I’m with you, and anyway, he lives in Starling City. I live here.”
“Maybe he’s hoping to convince you to go back,” Jim replied.
You shook your head, unable to help the way a smile played on your face. “I doubt that. And if by some crazy chance, you’re right, he’s gonna be sorely disappointed.”
“You’re sure about that?”
Arching a brow, you cross your arms over your chest and shifted to face him dead on. “Are you jealous?”
He scoffed, making to go back to his report. “No, I’m not jealous.”
“Really?” you replied, doubt lacing the word.
“No, I’m just saying you should be prepared in case that does turn out to be the reason he came all the way here. That’s all,” he said with a bob of his shoulders, going back to his report.
You tried to keep yourself from smiling and rolled your eyes, opening the door and leaving his office. As you went back to your desk, your eyes fell on the DD5s still await your attention, and you groaned to yourself. You looked back toward Jim’s office and saw that he was on the phone, likely with the Administrative Department to request the records you’d asked for. Pulling your jacket from the back of your chair, you put it on and began to walk toward the elevators when your partner called out to you.
“Y/L/N, we got something?”
“No, I’m just headed downstairs for a sec,” you answered. “I’ll be right back.”

About ten minutes before you were expecting Quentin to meet up with you, you pulled out your compact of lip balm. The cold weather always took its toll on your lips, and the only thing that worked was your Sugar Coconut lip balm. You gathered some on your finger and spread it on your lips liberally, drawing in your lips to spread it evenly.
“What are you doing?” Jim asked from behind you.
You jolted slightly and turned to look, spotting him about halfway between your desk and his office. Turning back to face forward, you closed the compact and put it back in your drawer. “Putting on lip balm.”
“Why?”
“Because my lips are dry?” you answered.
He came up to sit in the chair beside your desk, facing you. “What, is Lance gonna feel them or something?”
You could tell he had tried to make the question sound playful, maybe even a little sarcastic, but in the end, his tone had been annoyed, and just slightly wounded.
“Gordon.”
“What?” He shrugged, trying to play innocent.
“Stop it,” you said as a smile came to your lips.
“When’s he coming back for this?” he asked, gesturing with his head at the file that was sitting on your desk.
“He should be here in just a few minutes. We’re gonna go get coffee downstairs,” you answered, trying to sneak in one last DD5 before Quentin showed up.
“Oh, that’s nice,” he replied.
This time when a smile threatened to break through, you did little to stop it. “It’s just coffee. There’s no need for you to be jealous.”
“I told you, I’m not jealous.”
Somehow you sincerely doubt that, but you said nothing, quickly putting in the DD5 in front of you before setting it in the finished pile.
“It’s nice to see you’re actually getting some work done, but then I guess coffee with Quentin is a nice incentive.”
“Oh — My God,” you replied in a chuckle, looking up at him. “Do you wanna just come with us?”
“No,” he replied, shaking his head. “Thank you, but I do not want to come to coffee with you and your ex.”
“He hardly qualifies as my ex,” you said.
“Is this your way of getting back at me for the Brooke Shields thing?”
“What? No —”
“Cause I didn’t actually have sex with Brooke Shields, you at least got to have sex,” he said.
“Don’t piss me off,” you pleaded.
He put his hands up in mock surrender.
“Do you want me to not go? We can just go over the file here at my desk and drink the precinct coffee.”
“No,” he replied, brows furrowing. “No, I trust you.”
“Are you sure?” you asked.
“Yes,” he replied.
A distant ding made you look toward the elevators just as Quentin was getting off, making his way toward your desk.
“There he is, please be nice,” you mumbled to Jim as you stood.
“I’m always nice,” he replied, standing as well and looking over at the dark-haired, older man walking toward you, muttering under his breath. “Well, you certainly have a type.”
A huff of a laugh burst from your lips and you turned your face away, shaking your head. “Stop it.” Turning back to Quentin, you gave him a smile as he walked up. “Detective Lance, this is Sergeant Gordon. Sarge, meet Detective Lance, my old partner from SCPD.”
“Good to meet you, Sergeant,” Quentin said, holding out his hand.
Jim glanced down at it, and shook it politely, and to your relief replied, “Nice meeting you, too, Detective.”
“Really appreciate your help on this case. This guy always seems to be two steps ahead, I’m hoping maybe he wasn’t so careful when he was first startin’ out.”
“Yeah, sure. Hope this helps,” Jim replied with a nod before he looked back at you. “See you when you get back?”
“Yes,” you answered, giving his hand a squeeze before you picked up the file and followed Quentin back to the elevator.

You got back to the precinct about forty-five minutes later, file in hand, which you promptly took to the fax machine. Mostly everyone was gone besides Jim, who was still in his office judging by the fact that it was one of the few lights still on in the place. After faxing the files to Quentin’s hotel, you went to Jim’s office.
“Knock, knock,” you said, coming to a stop in the doorway.
Looking up from the file on his desk, he leaned back in his chair. “How’d it go?”
“Great, actually.” You held up the file and stepped into his office, sitting in one of the chairs in front of his desk. “It’s a good thing we had this in our records. I think it might’ve cracked his case. I just faxed over some copies for him to take back to Starling City.”
“Well good, I’m glad you two still make such a good team,” he replied.
His mustache shifted just enough for you to tell that he was subtly smirking, and a smile teased your own lips.
“I’m not his partner anymore,” you replied. “Would it be okay if we lock this up in here tonight? I can take it back in the morning. I hate going to the basement this late, it’s creepy.”
“Yeah, sure,” he answered, leaning forward to take the file from you and putting it in the top drawer of his desk. “Look, I’m sorry for being a little nutty before. But the thought of you with some other man — touching you, kissing you the same way I do…” He shrugged as a sigh blew through his lips. “It made me a little nutty.”
“I’ll say.”
“And then seeing that same guy going to get coffee with you, it just…”
“I’m sorry. That’s not why I told you about Quentin. I only told you because if you had somehow found out some other way, I didn’t want you to think I was trying to keep it from you. I wasn’t trying to make you feel jealous or upset, I swear.”
“I know,” he said. “And I really am glad we were able to help him.”
You nodded. “He really needed the win, so, me too.”
“Yeah, I know. I checked him out after you left earlier,” he said.
“You vetted my old partner?” you asked with a smirk.
“Course, I did. I wanted to know more about the guy that was taking my girlfriend on a coffee date,” he answered, mirroring your expression.
“It was more of a meeting that happened to include coffee.”
“Whatever it was, I know he’s been having trouble at SCPD these last few weeks. Hopefully this’ll help turn things around for him,” he said, closing the open file on his desk and standing up. “Now, come on. Let’s get home.”
“What about my DD5s? I’ve still got a few to input into the system,” you asked, thumb pointed toward your desk as he came around to stand in front of you, close enough that you could feel his body heat against your own.
“You can finish them tomorrow. Right now, I just wanna take you home, take off all our clothes, crawl into bed and do unspeakable things to you,” he said, moving some hair behind your shoulder, the tip of his finger grazing across your neck.
Goosebumps erupted on your arms, nipples tightening against the lace material of your bra and your breath deepening. “Fine by me.”
