#I'm preposterously sad about this

Had the world's most realistic dream last night that involved Zeb in the Ahsoka show with like a wedding ring tan line (no idea why he wasn't wearing it at the time) and he was talking about how he and Kallus spent a lot of their time in their garden at home and Dream-Me was like "man, I can't believe nobody else is talking about this scene, I should double check and make sure it actually happened" and then I woke up and I wanted to cry a little

surprise! I'm alive :D
Chucking out one of my prompts anyone can take this.
Prompt starts with the whole idea that everyone believes that ghost are malevolent, non sentient beings that aren't capable of feeling pain. Amity parkers believe that, the Fenton's and the GIW "proved" that and the ghosts that escape the portal have caused so much mindless damage that it just further cements the idea that ghosts aren't sentient.
But during one of Phantom's ghost fights The Fenton parents realize Phantom is a bit different than the ghosts he fights. They finally decide to observe Phantom more carefully after this (they're still shooting at him just watching him a bit first)
During this observation period they notice it's not just phantom's rapid power growth that's different about him. It's everything he does! He's proven to be more intelligent than the other ghosts, having managed to steal and operate Fenton tech despite the fact he doesn't appear to have powers like technus.
He has body language?! Subtle body language that isn't destructive or angry! He fidgets when he's nervous, smiles and is more talkative and expressive when he's excited or happy. He shows emotion more humanly than any of the other ghosts showing emotion that wouldn't benefit him in the moment. Now the Fenton's wanted to brush this off as clear ghost manipulation at it's finest but in the most recent ghost attack gave a preposterous theory a leg to stand on.
They had been shouting their usual threat's of tearing the ecto scum apart molocule by molecule. Most of the ghost ignored them, fixated on the destruction they were causing but Phantom hesitated, the GAV cameras catching a look on Phantom's face that would be game changing.
Fear.
Genuine fear. It was not the robotic mimicry of human emotion they were used to. The emotion they got was that of a being that fully understood what was going to happen to it and had the capability to be afraid.
They compile all the footage of past ghost fights and ghost sightings and come to the horrifying conclusion that phantom is a sentient ghost who could feel pain.
They're horrified that they've been hurting this little boy (because that's what phantom is) who's just trying to help and didn't understand why the other ghosts lacked the empathy he had. As for Phantom's crimes they finally had a reason for them. He's a scared child , loney and confused with everyone around him trying to hurt him even though he was trying to protect people; of course he would act out!
The Fenton's show their undeniable proof to the GIW and within a week a law is passed stating that phantom is the only sentient ghost and it's illegal to harm him.
Danny is very confused to say the least, especially when everyone starts treating him like a little kid (Danny either looks young for his age or the accident happened earlier whatever causes more angst) The worst part is they don't believe him when he tells them some other ghosts are sentient no matter what he says! They just give him this sad look and nod or try to comfort him by telling him he wasn't evil like the other ghosts. The other ghosts like the thought of being able to get away with crimes without being charged so they don't even try to prove their sentience if anything they try to disprove theirs and prove Danny's.
Bonus Dp x Dc crossover:
The justice league is called about Phantom's situation Amity Parker's demanding that phantom be taken somewhere safe where he can be a regular (but spooky) child. Double points if the heroes don't believe any ghost but Phantom are sentient.
Tldr
Regular ghosts are too spooky for humans to believe they're sentient but Danny's halfa status makes him look more human and genuine (Vlad is not a true halfa you can fight me on that >:c) the other ghosts ramp up their acting skills so they can crime without consequence as "non sentient beings"

Could I request Gepard, Luka, Welt, and Argenti finding their s/o's body pillow of them (the boys)?
THEM AS BODY PILLOWS
#honkai star rail !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⌗:, a/n : quick work cause I'm honestly getting so busy with this school year. we are rushing like crazy and it's only been 3 days since school started ...
⌗:, pairings : gepard (princess), luka, welt, & argenti w/ gn!reader (separately)
⌗:, note : I too would do this
Tumblr media
— ୨ GEPARD ୧
You look sweet sleeping comfortably in your bed but why ... why do you have him as a body pillow ? Him being flustered would be an understatement. He would be pacing everywhere just seeing you hugging the face of the body pillow close to your chest and one leg hanging over his waist.
He just stares quietly at you for a moment as thoughts flood him. He was thinking that he was away for so long you had to resort to cuddling with a 'gepard pillow' instead of him and he's even more sad. Not because you made him a pillow without his consent but rather that you were so lonely.
He gently removes the pillow and replaces it with him, but taking great care in not throwing it to some corner of the room. He hold you by your waist softly yet firmly and presses a chaste kiss on your lips. He murmurs a soft 'sorry' before also drifting off to sleep with you.
"mmm... wait... Gepard? when did you come? and...Where's the pillow?..." you can find the pillow later it's time to cuddle your baby since that's what you were doing and should be doing now that he's here.
— ୨ LUKA ୧
He's squealing and jumping up and down. You look so cute ! and peaceful sleeping like that. He clicks more than ten pictures and immediately makes them his wallpaper. Oh you're too cute to resist but it's quite unfair that you are cuddling a pillow which can't cuddle you back but now that he's here you can hug 'luka' as much as you want.
"Baby! I'm here now scoot over let me cuddle with you" he looks like a golden retriever who just wants to hog their master's attention and affection all to themselves. It's not that you can actually deny him of his well deserved affection.
"Aw fine fine I'll kiss you and cuddle you, you big baby" you held his face with your hands and smooched him with kisses all over his face.
"That's not enough!" and there he goes tackling you and throwing your body onto the bed. It's gonna be a long time before he's done cuddling with you...
— ୨ WELT ୧
"If you wanted to spend time with me that much, you could have just told me" Welt chuckles as he sees you practically strangling the Welt body pillow that you have as you hold it close to yourself.
"I can't possibly disturb you when you have so may missions to go on! and... I missed you so much.."
The last few words came out as a whisper but loud enough for Welt to understand what you meant and it was true. He went to Xianzhou and then the Penacony's Family called him and the other crew members so he had basically no time to spare for even a few minutes of rest.
"I know love...sorry...I'm here now for a long time so you can spend as much time as you want with me." He pressed a kiss to your forehead and caressed your hair as he shoved the pillow slowly from you hand.
"No need to worry anymore dear... I will kiss you until you fall asleep in my arms"
— ୨ AREGNTI ୧
"Preposterous! Oh Idrila! I cannot fathom this anymore" he screams in a comical fashion.
"Chill Argenti, it's just a pillow... a pillow with your face,"
The most dramatic one because he can't understand why you would have to resort to cuddling with a non living thing when the living thing is right beside you walking, talking and breathing !
"Dearest this is a blasphemous act which a knight of beauty, especially one who is loyal to their oaths, can take! Why, why, pray tell, would you have to cuddle with a pillow?!" he falls to his knees.
You just sigh and drag him by his hand.
"Argenti, I didn't break whatever oath you are talking about and I still love you! I just wanted to make a pillow with you on it so that I wouldn't feel lonely when you're gone...to conduct your knightly duties..." you huff.
You saw how Argenti's shoulders relax and how he let out a content smile.
"Then looks like another one of my knightly duties need to be done hm?" he says so cheekily as he picks you up and carries you to cuddle with him ,"surely you can spare some time for the real deal my dove"

boy in the rain.
pairings. matt sturniolo x fem!reader
about. one simple offer of a ride home in the rain turns into an unforgettable relationship and sad ending.
Tumblr media
warnings. death, swearing, and unedited
ricky rocks. this might be a hit or miss, so don't dawg on me too hard.
pictures of him were plastered everywhere.
your heart was buried deep in your stomach from the moment you saw it and it only sunk deeper and deeper the more the hours past, the voices that rung through your ears, and the solumn feeling that colored the hallways.
dead. he's dead.
believe it, don't believe it, you still searched for his face as each person passed you, in each class that you entered; looked for any sign of him.
but he was dead.
**
you stood beneath the awning of the gas station, gazing out at the summer rain looking to pour itself onto anything and everything unprotected. you frowned hard as you observed, not expecting your walk for a slushy to be intruded on, especially this abruptly. it was a humid night and therefore even more horrendous that such heavy rainfall came to clash.
you sighed, making a move to go back into the grimy gas station when he called out.
“hey, you need a ride?”
you stopped, turning toward the direction of the only car inhabiting the gas stations parking lot, squinting, and indicating a boy in the front driver's seat. he wore a black sweatshirt with the hood pulled up over his head, squinting back at you due to the rain spitting in his face from his rolled down window.
you knew him.
"are you serious?"
you can barely hear his laugh, but it was there, and you almost melted right there to the cement, "yes. c'mon, I won't leave you stranded."
the ten feet you had to walk to his car was horrible, so you were immediately thankful for the offer the moment you slung yourself into his car. he must have been able to tell too by the way his laugh once again rung through your ears, watching you attempt to catch your breath in his passenger seat.
"I'm matt," he smiled from ear to ear in amusement, offering his hand to you as you clutched your sopping wet body.
"I know," you chattered through your teeth, no longer suffering from the everlasting summer heat from outside, but the air conditioner blasting in matt's car. "sturniolo."
"oh, you know," he was still highly entertained by whatever this situation he put himself in, especially by the way you side eyed his hand still waiting for yours. "you cold?"
"no," you lied through your teeth, still shaking.
he smiles, turning the ac off and switching the heat on low, "right. what's your name?"
you felt a sudden chest pain at the question. you had been going to school with matt since the 7th grade. you had classes with him, had seen him outside of school at parties, hangouts. you knew who he was, so why didn't he know who you were?
your frown was obvious, and he couldn't help but have felt that he fucked up, like his question was preposterous and insulting, "moe."
a lie, again. and just like the first, he could tell it was one, once again.
"you go to mountainview, right?"
"yeah."
he nods, and the previous amused smile is gone and a narrowed stare is there to replace it. he's unsure why you lied and why you were suddenly so upset.
"shit, I'm getting your seats wet," you suddenly became hyperaware of your drenched self pressed into his leather seats.
"you're good," he glanced to your lap suddenly, watching you squirm, as if attempting to reposition yourself in some way where you weren't soaking his seats, but you only made yourself look like a fool. "I wouldn't have asked you in the car if I cared so much about my seats."
you smiled sympathetically.
"so, moe, where to?"
**
his locker was heavily decorated. flowers, hearts, cards, pictures of him with friends, pictures of just him. you stood across from it, staring at each individual item that was taped down to show love and sympathy and hope. you glanced down to the palm of your hand, clutching the necklace you held tightly before bringing it right in front of you.
the necklace, or rather locket, swayed back and forth with the golden heart weighing it down.
it was no longer meant to be yours.
"how'd you get that?"
your head cranked to the left where a boy stared you down, his cheeks flushed but vision narrowed down on you, "huh?" you quickly dropped your arm down, shoving the piece into your pocket.
"where'd you get that?"
your eyes widen, realizing this was an exact replica of matt storming toward you, but with longer hair; chris. you felt your heart push up into your throat, feeling yourself backing on your feet the closer he got.
"answer me."
"I'm not sure what you're talking about," you swing around, marching away from him the best you could as he still tried to trail behind you.
"that's matty's."
**
"this rain is going to kill me," you watch his knuckles flex over the railing as he grasped it tightly, leaning over the edge, gazing into the pitch dark. it had been weeks since matt had first picked you up in a rain storm at that gas station, and ironically, once again he had found you.
the two of you now sat in a watchtower in the middle of town that you had taken him to the first night, gazing out at the building lights being blurred by the rain that hadn’t let up in days. matt was impatient by this, you didn’t have to know him well or see him more than a minute to know this.
“why don’t you like the rain?” you laughed silently at him as you watched him grit his teeth, turning back around to face you.
he suddenly looks sad.
you regret asking the question.
"I just lost someone really special to me," his eyes strayed from yours, meeting the wall of rain behind you, "and the day it happened... all it did was rain."
you watch him carefully. his tone was steady but you could tell it took a lot in him to keep it that way.
"I-" his hand reaches for the chain around his neck out of sudden instinct, wrapping his fingers around the golden material. "I can't stand rain, not after that. it makes me feel sick to my stomach. it's all I think about and it's like it's following me."
you feel a sudden push on your body, like a force guiding you to him, "oh, matt-"
"y/n-"
"I'm sorry," you ignore the short sound of protest, finding yourself attaching to him with your arms wrapped around his neck. "I'm sorry."
his body is stiff and cold and you can tell that everything in him is trying to resist the warmth of your own. he wants to not want it, but he fails the resistance and every voice in his head telling him he was fine and the hug was a ridiculous gesture. he fails, allowing the barrier of your warmth to immerse into him, accepting the hug that was really far from ridiculous, but needed.
**
you weren't going to go.
after your small encounter with chris, you were practically setting yourself up by attending matt's funeral. but you couldn't not go, not after everything.
that morning it had rained.
that had been a first since one of the last days of summer. the rain had glistened everything, made everything seem so renewed and bright and so fresh for a november evening.
it took a lot for you to walk through those doors, walk up those stairs, and even sit down to watch the service. you could barely sit there for a second before walking right back out onto the front steps.
you feel suffocated. you claw at your chest, digging your fingers against your skin before they find the locket--looping your fingers against the golden chain out of instinct—like he did. you dip your head backwards, inhaling strongly, trying to breathe the images of matt away from your mind.
bad idea.
especially when you realize you're not the only one on the front steps.
“you’re moe, aren’t you?”
you look down and the feeling in your chest becomes worse.
chris stares up at you from where he sits on the cement steps. you can't tell what the look in his eyes are, but it's nothing you find enjoyment in--especially when they mirror matt's exact pupils, his exact iris', his exact color...
you feel deeply disturbed that he looks at you with something that matt never did.
“yeah…”
he scoffs, running his hand down his mouth, "yeah... great."
"how'd you know?"
"that's our mother's chain, y/n," he looks back around and ahead of him, but still mindlessly points back at the golden locket around your neck. "she gave it to matt before she passed."
oh.
oh. oh. oh god.
"but I'm sure he told you if he gave it to you."
no, he didn't.
"how'd you know I was moe?"
he laughs a little, genuine as he digs the heel of his palm into his eyes, "moe; 'heaven', 'rain', and 'sky' from burmese origins. he knew you were lying the moment you told him that, but he didn't know why or even why 'moe'?" you smiled to yourself. "had us up all night looking up the meaning of 'moe' and decided it had to be that. met in the rain, name means rain."
"clever," you whispered, slowly taking a seat next to chris. "couldn't keep anything anyway from him."
"yeah or you're just shit at lying," he scoffs, glancing at you. "but it's funny you tried."
"funny I tried," you mumbled to yourself, shaking your head, as if laughing at yourself.
you knew about chris and you knew about nick, just like you had known matt before you actually knew him. but getting to know matt, was also like getting to know his two other triplets. he told you everything.
and because of that, he told you about chris.
"I should give this to you," you find yourself reaching behind your neck, unclasping the locket from your neck. "it belongs to you."
he told you how chris never took anything seriously, he told you how chris was really good at brightening a room because of it, and he told you how angry chris was when matt was the one given the locket and not him.
it made a lot more sense now that that friend was actually their mother.
chris glanced at you before doing a double take, realizing what you were doing. his eyes softened fast at the sight of the heart swinging back and forth between the two of you. he didn't take it. you were both sitting there, watching the priceless piece hold there for the taking, and he still didn't take it.
"y/n," his voice is soft and almost sympathetic, but his eyes are still trained tightly on the piece of jewelry. "that's-that's, I can't take that."
but no matter how angry chris was about the locket, he accepted it wasn't his. and what wasn't his, he wouldn't take.
"what do you mean?"
"matty gave that to you. it's yours."
"but I don't deserve it."
"y/n," he shakes his head, pushing the necklace back to you. "it's yours now, okay? there's a reason matt was given that locket and there's a reason it was given to you, okay? I don't need it," he shakes his head, his eyes wide and red. "I don't need it."
you feel your eyes burn. the desperate sound of chris' voice makes you want to burst out into tears. you don't know what to do, and he can tell. he takes the locket, but not for reasons you want.
"here," you watch chris dig into his suit before pulling out an envelope. "before... everything," he coughs a little, beginning to feel his throat closing up. "matt wrote you something."
all icy provision from before has melted. his whole body is turned all the way to face you now, no longer to you as a stranger, but someone he understands.
"take it," he paired the envelope with the necklace before pushing it to you. "read it when it rains."
**
"you ever get sick of me?"
it was a month and half into the school year and what you thought was only going to be a summer friendship, blossomed into something else.
your question made matt arch a brow, questioning if you were being serious, "what?"
"I mean day and night, we're the only people that see each other. how do your friends not hate you?"
it was true. you rarely ever saw matt at school unless in the halls or even on small occasions of going to lunch together, but it was like every time after that, he was at your house. matt valued his time and when it was open and free, he always spent it with you.
you had had this conversation before, multiple times. you were always the one who started them.
"I could never get sick of you."
the only reason you questioned it so often was because of how different you and matt were. the two of you becoming friends and being as close as you were was the most unlikely thing you could ever think of. the two of you had no connections what so ever in friends, hobbies, or even classes. your lives rarely ever crossed beyond in the hallways or parties.
"you act like we're not friends," he crashes onto your living room couch, slightly amused. "you're my best friend."
you feel your face burn at the comment. it paralyzes you more than it should. you also considered matt to be your best friend, but it still catches you off guard hearing the words allowed. you're not sure what to say.
"im not yours?"
"you are."
"I figured," he's grinning now, "just making sure."
it's silent.
"I value our time a lot, you know that," you've heard this a million times, but you could never get sick of it. "we don't know how much time we get with someone, so it's important to me to fill my time with someone I care about."
you finally take a seat next to him, watching him with a ghost of a smile on your face as he speaks.
we don't know how much time we get with someone.
"I want to give you this."
you watch as matt brings his hands behind his neck, unclasping the chain that you had became so accustomed to seeing around his neck.
your mouth slightly opens, "what?"
"I want you to-"
"matt, that's-" you shake your head, cutting yourself off. you couldn't even process this gesture. "I can't take that from you."
"you can."
you really couldn't. the first time you had seen the locket was the first time he had told you about why he didn't like the rain. he had clutched onto it like a safety net. after that, that necklace was all you could see on him half the time. it took him two months for him to tell you what it was and that was exactly why you couldn't take it from him.
"I can't, matty."
"why?"
"because it's yours and I can't take something that was given to you--especially if it was by someone who mattered a lot to you."
he looks as if he thinks about it, his eyes lowering down, looking to the gold heart, before back up to you, "yeah..."
even if you were right, he didn't care. the piece was always significant to him, but there was a point in time where he was ready to let it go--hence why he left it on your kitchen counter without your knowledge.
**
moe,
I know you're already laughing at me, wondering why you're reading something I could easily say over the phone. but I know you eat this up, even if you like to think it's corny.
you were never someone I thought I needed. from the moment I received that locket from my mother, was the moment I was ready to give up. my mother was my best friend and someone who taught me everything that matters.
you remind me of her--in the least weirdest way possible. you made me what I missed, you were exactly what I needed and wanted.
you keep me sane and well structured. I used to hate getting up in the morning, but after that moment, in the watch tower, when you hugged me even as we were strangers, I couldn't wait to wake up to see your face again.
I felt like a fool. I felt like how chris probably feels everyday. it's a feeling I hope I never forget or never leaves me.
you are special. you are worth all the time in the world. the day I forget that or the day I forget my priorities is a day i'm dead.
I hope to never lose you or whatever it is we have, and if I do, moe, my sweet, sweet moe, I'll find you in the rain.
matty.

I'm thinking about Childe fuckboy sex pest whiny dramatic little bastard tendencies again. It's haunting my brain and compelling my fingers to type so endure my ramblings
His most infuriating tendency is just being so pushy and self-centered. Very overdramatic and whiny about it too. He's that typical boy who just cannot process there being anything that should take priority above him getting his dick wet.
He does genuinely care about you though. Like, if you get sick or something he understands. Will hold your hair back while you're sick and will get you water and stay by your side and hold you and all.... but once it's over and you're finally feeling less queasy after your multi-hour sickness session, laying there in bed, he sort of snuggles up to you, hard-on pressing into your thigh like "so you're feeling better now right 👉👈"
Or you're exhausted, you have a headache, you're just worn out and he's all "But? :( my dick tho? :(" because God forbid he have to so much as conceptualize going without getting to empty his balls in you for a span of over 12 hours. He will get sad if he can't get his dick wet at a moment's notice. As in, he expects you to just drop everything you're doing.
Which is a pesky thing of its own. You, unfortunately, have this tendency to do things, to perform tasks and activities, which is problematic because these things often get in the way. How, pray tell, is he supposed to get the necessary daily dose of pussy if you're doing things you can't immediately drop? It's literally a matter of his well-being and health?? And yet you say "just a minute" or "let me finish this" as if it's not a dire situation, because you are heartless and/or don't understand what he's going through. So he'll just be sure to stand there moping and looking dejected until you can get to a pausing point of whatever you're doing, so you understand the importance of the matter.
Sometimes it's worse and you are actually committed to some task. Yes you have that huge test you have to study for or that thing you have to do for your work but like... what about him. Where does he fit into that schedule of yours, because you mentioned how you're gonna divide up your hours for the night and not once did you mention taking regular breaks to give him attention and pussy and love. Do you just not care, is that it? You don't love him. You clearly hate him and you want him to suffer. Heartbreaking.
He gives you the standard "you wouldn't understand you're not a guy" speech, that you can't comprehend how strong the urges are, the fact that it is preposterous to expect him to exhibit any self-control when horny or to endure the agony of tfw no pussy. You wouldn't get it, it's literally a need and he can't be expected to function normally without getting to cum. No jerking off won't suffice, he can't go back to that because it's not good enough anymore, he has to cum and it has to be in you or else he will be in an unwell state of health and you will be responsible. This is literally like starving a person to death. Cruel. Barbaric. You would never do this if you really loved him. Would never want someone you really love to suffer like this.
He just lays there flopped on the bed or couch next to you, looking utterly miserable. Occasional dramatic groaning. If you're not paying enough attention he'll shuffle closer and wriggle his way under your arm to rest his head on your lap. Following by more "pay attention to me" groans.
And yes he will try to compare his lack of pussy to whatever objectively much worse ailment you're undergoing. He really does feel bad for you with your chronic pain or period cramps or migraines and all that — BUT, blue balls is equivalent to if not worse than any of those. Difference is you're inflicting this suffering on him. Imagine if he was inflicting your ailment on you, that would be unthinkably cruel right? So logically you should feel bad and pity him and fix the problem.
Why are you looking at him like that. Are you upset? ...You know what would probably make you feel better? Oh, now you look more mad. Why are you picking that thing up like you're about to throw it at him. So mean.

Our obsession with this game is natural... PROMISE(lies)
To anyone who played the game, yes, all romancable characters + Elena and Mia are requestable.
New writers on the block yall! I'm Lune, this is a collaborative writing effort from the original owner(Azurli) and I. This somehow just turned into shit about Bella being crazy and and in love with you, so enjoy.
Tumblr media
Bella's Obsessive(Toxic) Tendencies
Tumblr media
Bella loves you, she does, but sometimes she loves you too much. The idea was in her head long before she had gotten her heart back.
Bella had dreams of you, of you in her arms - without a shirt or pants. You looked beautiful, and every night she'd wake up in a sweat, her face red, and her thighs wet.
After Bellas heart was unnumbed(is this a word?) she was feeling so much, too much.
One moment, she was happy and content with being around you; the next, she was mad because someone looked at you.
Toxic isn't how one would describe the beginning of your relationship. It isn't how Bella would describe it either, but to outside forces...that's exactly what it looked like.
To others, it seemed like the horrible Ice Queen on campus had decided you would be hers, against your will.
Which, in reality, we all know is far from the truth. With how deeply you love her, you two will be able to overcome anything, even her overly possessive nature.
Right?
Of course, if Bella is anything, it's a fighter. It's not like she's become so used to being trapped under Miranda's thumb that she has begun to develop a complex.
That's preposterous. Bella doesn't worry about what would happen if you found someone different. She doesn't dream about you finding the girl that got a bit too close to you, dead. And when you run to her in fear, you hug her knowing she's never done anything unless it was to protect you.
Bella doesn't imagine Mia's blood on her hands as you cry into her shoulder, thankful to be protected.
Bella is perfectly sane in her love for you.
Now let's be serious.
Bella would give you anything and everything. Well, maybe not anything... not yet, at least. She wouldn't hurt her family for you, but damn, the anger she holds for her mother at times. She worries for herself.
Bella gives you her all in the relationship. That means she gives all of herself: no more secrets, no lies. She bares herself to you wholeheartedly and completely. She expects you to do the same, so if you don't, you will lose her. You love her too much not to, right?
Right.
"I love you, you know that right? You make me so happy, I love you so much."
Bella's words are a sweet poison; don't drink it. After a fight, she'll storm off not only to cool herself down but also to let you cool off.
You've both learned that this is for the best, especially if you want to keep this relationship going long-term, which you will. Bella wouldn't allow you to leave her.
On some occasions, Bella will wait for you to apologize first, and then she'll act like she was just getting ready to apologize to you.
Her words are as sweet as honey, but her voice is as sharp as a razor. You can't tell if she's happy, angry, sad, or horny.
Bella does this on purpose, and you're starting to figure it out.
When she speaks to you, she doesn't lie, so everything she says is true. However, the way she says it and the little words she sprinkles in change the meaning entirely.
That's enough of that though, Bella wants you to think of the good times with her. The fun times, the safe times.
The times when you're lying in her warm bed, her hands snaking up your thighs, a more content look on her face. She enjoys this, enjoys you, and she'll continue to do so.
Bella has a lot of pent-up sexual aggression, so what better time to let it out than the minute you two get back from a nice dinner?
Well, that sounds just perfect, and from the way you're crying out her name, it must sound good to you too!
"Shh, Kitten. We're going to play the quiet game, and you're already losing by a lot."
Tumblr media
This wasn't absolutely horrible was it? I'm ashamed to have wrote this, and I'm sure my co-writer is ashamed to have read through it before posting.
Anyway this character is from the game Resident Lover, it's an amazing game made by @resident-lover .
I'm marking this as spoilers in the tags, and I hope anyone who hasn't played the game after reading this plays it!

Thalia giggles at something Remus said for the fifth time in ten minutes—that's one giggle every two minutes. You stare daggers at her as the sweet, sticky sound bubbles out her mouth like boiling water. Warm and soothing and everything your wheezing laughs weren't. 
Your eyes shoot to Sirius as he kicks your leg from beneath the table. "What?" You mouth with a harsh stare.
"You look like you're about to kill her," He mouths back with raised brows.
You only roll your eyes in return.
Somewhere between the seventh and the tenth giggle, you decide to leave. You can't bear seeing how Remus looks at her with such adoration.
. • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
"What was yesterday about?" Sirius asks at breakfast.
You feign innocence, "What are you talking about?"
"You looked like you were about to choke out goldie locks. Jealous she's spending time with Remus?" He suggests.
"Ha!" You bark out, "Jealous. What a funny concept. You know, Sirius, you should consider a comedy career."
But Sirius is not laughing—he's looking at you with those eyes you've seen far too many times now. You saw them when he asked if you cheated on your charms test when you were twelve. You saw them when he asked if you were an animagus when you were fifteen. You saw them when he asked if your date with that boy from Ravenclaw went well. You've seen them every time you've lied to him. You see them now.
"Fuck you," You mutter—he catches it anyway.
"Tell him."
"There's nothing to tell, Sirius."
He only shakes his head in return.
. • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
You feel a wave of sadness crash over you when you see Thalia at Remus's side once again. You're supposed to be there. That's your spot, you think.
Thalia looks to see who's entered the common room, and she flashes you a warm smile, waving her hand in a signal for you to sit with your friends.
You shake your head, and she raises an eyebrow in suspicion. You point to your stomach, "Period," You mouth. She nods in understanding.
Then, you catch Sirius's eye. He stares in disappointment as you walk away.
. • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
"Has anyone seen y/n?" Remus asks at breakfast—you've been avoiding him.
"I just saw her in the halls on the way here," Frank speaks up, "She said she was going to the library."
"I'm going to look for her." He stands up, then turns to Thalia, "See you soon, love." James pretends to throw up when he kisses her cheek.
"I just saw you being sweet on Evans, mate. Don't act all high and mighty," Sirius chips in.
But you're not in the library, and you're not at any of your usual spots.
. • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
It's been days since Remus has spoken to you, and he's only growing more restless.
"Every time I see her, she runs away," He sighs.
"I'm sorry, my love," Thalia frowns, rubbing Remus's back.
"I'm gonna go for a smoke," He stands up and leaves the common room.
Remus goes to the courtyard—it's your guys' smoking place. He finds you there, head in your hands.
"Y/n?" He asks, and you look at him with shocked eyes, like the idea of him talking to you—seeing you—was preposterous.
"You're avoiding me," Remus says, finally cornering you.
"No, I'm not." You deny, standing up.
"Oh, come on, y/n. Do you think me that daft? I can tell you're avoiding me. Why?"
You take a deep breath, willing tears not to fall, "Because of her."
"Who?" 
'You're clueless,' You think.
"Thalia."
"What about her? You don't like her?"
And you can hear the fear in his voice—the fear that his best friend doesn't approve of the one he loves.
"She's amazing, Remus." Your voice wavers, and then it dawns on Remus. His face falls, and you know it's over.
"I'm sorry," He rushes out, "I'm so sorry."
And that's when the tears fall, "Don't be sorry, Remus."
"I'm sorry," He repeats, and you catch on to the look in his eyes. 
"Don't pity me, Remus."
"I don't!" He argues, "I'm just... I'm sorry."
"I wish you could love me," You whisper, looking into his eyes, heart breaking even more as you see their unshed tears.
"I do love you," He insists, "Just not in the way you need me to."
"Why?" You cry, "Why can't you just love me?"
"I— I wish I had a reason."
"It's okay, Remus."
"I'm sorry."

✞°•I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS•°✞
(Based on this song, I know you know this song. don't lie to me)
Summary:
Turtle bros with a ghost reader!
Warning(s):
Some cursing!
A/N:
I MUST BE DREAMING CAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOST YEAH, sorry, anyways, idk I just felt a little silly today, and I really do love this song. also I'm trying a different style DONT BULLY ME IT TOOK ME LIKE AN HOUR TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO GRADIENT
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was a chilly October night, the leaves rustled as the four brothers made their way towards an abandoned graveyard. The atmosphere was dark and gloomy, but they were determined to explore the area, for reasons unknown to anyone but themselves.
"I don't like this, guys. Let's turn back," the youngest brother, Mikey, shivered.
"What? No way! You said you were bored, Mikey. This is exactly what we need to get our blood pumping!" another brother exclaimed.
"He was bored, Leo, not us. You didn't have to drag us all here," one of the brothers groaned in annoyance.
"Sorry that Mr. Bootyshaker9000 wanted to stay indoors and rot. I'm preventing the inevitable!" Leo clapped back.
"I'm trying to prevent hitting you with my Tech Bo," Donnie gripped his weapon tighter.
"Try it, you won't," Leo egged Donnie on.
"You little…" Donnie scowled, lifting his weapon before getting interrupted.
"Enough! Fighting is not the memo right now! Now you two cut it out or else I'll…wait, what was that?" the oldest brother paused on his scolding to scope out the area. A pungent smell of perfume floated in the air, and chills went down their spines.
"I'm getting really bad vibes here! I told you we should've gone back to the lair!" Mikey exclaimed.
"Don't be such a party pooper, Mike! It's probably all in our heads," Leo tried to come up with a reasonable explanation, but a gust of wind shut off all of his thoughts.
"What was that?!" Raph exclaimed.
"It's a ghost!" Mikey chattered.
"That is preposterous, Michael. There is no such thing as a ghost-"
"No, he's right."
They all screamed in unison, clinging onto Raph. "AH!"
Tumblr media
《RAPH》
After the shock and some failed punching attempts, he finally decided to talk instead of fight, and it was a delightful conversation
yall sat down and talked for hours, He asked a few questions, and you answered them
he made sure not to ask personal questions, like how you died and stuff (unlike Donnie, that insensitive prick)
was kinda sad when he had to go, but gotta make sure pops doesn't worry,
he promises he'll see you again
a few weeks later you show up in his room, sitting down calmly on his bed, or, erm, floating.
he threw multiple items at you before calming down and realizing that it was you, what were you doing here? how did you know where he lives?
all of those questions were brushed off when he heard that you just wanted to see him, and only him.
his heart pounded in his plastron, you wanted to see him? big ol' him? cue huge tail thumping into the ground
yall talked for HOURS, him talking about Lou Jitsu- wait, you've never watched Lou Jitsu? he's inviting you to family movie night. there's no getting out of this.
over the months, the both of you got close, he no longer throws objects or tries to throw hands when he sees you!
enjoys the company when he lifts weights
"Wow, those seem heavy," you said, impressed by his muscles as he lifted the weights. 
"They are heavy, but don't worry, Raph's got gains!" he replied, flexing his muscles with a curl-up. 
"Can I try?" you asked, reaching out your hands. 
"Sure, but be careful. I'll be here to spot ya!" he said, passing the weights to you. 
However, you forgot that you were transparent and accidentally dropped the weights on his tail, causing him to scream in pain. 
"Oops! I forget I'm transparent sometimes... You just make me feel so alive..." you said sheepishly. 
"I-I make you feel alive?" he questioned, seemingly forgetting the intense pain in his tail.
HES SOSOSO SILLY GUYS I CAN'T
《LEO》
He had never sliced a portal open this fast
before he could dive head-first into his portal you floated in front of it
you just wanted to talk... okay... but he's keeping a close eye on you
a few minutes later he's blabbing about Jupiter Jim to you, you've never watched it? what? do you live under a rock? or... a grave...
and you seem so interested! he could talk about it for hours! you know he could.
he literally clung onto the ground when it was time to leave, complaining as Raph dragged him away
he shouted a quick "See you soon"
he saw you soon alright, in his room, looking at his pile of Jupiter Jim comics curiously
He literally screamed like a girl
Oh! it's just you... where did you come from? oh, you just wanted to see him, not his brothers? him?
boosts up his ego by 100x
"I knew you couldn't get enough of me" type of energy
proceeds to yap about Jupiter Jim some more, what? it's YOUR fault for indulging in his hyperfixations
yall are the talker and listener duo
"And so Jupiter Jim was all like- pew pew pew! and the aliens were all like- Ohno! and then- hey, hey [NAME], are ya listening?" He questioned,
"Mhm, go on, I'm all ears"
Leo's eyes widened, and small churrs could be heard "OKOK! And then Jupiter Jim was all like, no way jose!"
He just like me fr
《DONNIE》
There is no logical way this could be happening! ghosts? really?
immediately started asking questions, why do you exist? how do you exist? would you perhaps be interested in some experiments, y'know, for scientific purposes (definitely not for his own personal questions)
his questions just kept on coming and coming, some of them being more insensitive than the last, he would've said more if Raph didn't smack him on top of the head...
but you were happy to answer them non the less
when they had to skedaddle he was pissed, how dare they interrupt! can't you see there was science in the making?
he says he'll come to you, for more questions of course, nothing more... (cap)
he didn't expect you to come to him.
he jumped a little but then started going into his "I ask you, answer" mode
Experiments on you (with consent ofc)
discovers you have telekinesis
you two grew close, his experiments died down the more he learned about you
now, he just really enjoys the company
just knowing that you're there watching him while he tackles a project gets him so motivated
you're like his little assistant
"[NAME], be a dear and pass me that wrench over there," he asks, hand out, palm open,
"You got it boss" you floated the wrench toward him, and he grabbed it
"Thank you, you really are a great help, [NAME]"
"Just glad to be here Don-tron!" you smiled, not noticing the slight wag to his tail.
He really appreciates you
《MIKEY》
He just kept screaming and screaming until you snapped him out of it
what? why aren't you trying to take his body? and why aren't you freakishly creepy, you just looked like a normal person, minus the floating and transparency
Oh, you just wanted to talk? well, as long as you don't possess his body he's all for it!
The conversation was amazing! he got so much more information about ghosts, he's even more fixated on them now!
you got this turtle laying on the ground, twirling his mask tails in his fingers, kicking his feet, saying "Ooh! Tell me more!"
was whining like a puppy dog when he had to get up on out of there, puppy dog eyes did not work in his favor tonight..
he swears up and down that he will visit you, just wait!
I guess you've waited long enough, because the following week you were caught snooping around his room
he screamed, yes, he won't lie.
but it's not his fault that you popped up out of nowhere!
then starts talking to you like he didn't scream like 100 decibels
Just yip yap yapping away, but you don't mind, you enjoy socializing with him
kinda sad that he can't touch you though, sometimes he wants nothing more than to wrap his arms around you
you're his muse! asks you to pose for him, and you happily oblige
"Okay just keep that position, right there, perfect! such an amazing muse for me!" He smiles,
"Well, it's easy to pose when I have such a wonderful artist painting me" You replied,
"Awe shucks, don't compliment me like that! you're going to give me an ego" he chirps happily
lala and okok duo. that's all I have to say.
Tumblr media
BOO! HAPPY NEW YEARS GUYS OMGOMG 2024 IS HOPEFULLY GONNA BE A GREAT YEAR, HERES A LIL DITTY I WROTE, I HOPE YA LIKE IT, IM GETTING ON MY GRIND RIGHT NOW, I love ya! Merry 24, also I was watching Coryxkenshin while writing, shout out to the shogun. There also MIGHT be some grammar mistakes, kinda rushed to get this out

another very late entry for @prongsfoot-microfic 💀 but it's better late than never. 😭
☆☆☆☆
March 14 + May 27
Study + Hedonism

"Tell her that your lap is mine." 
Sirius looked up from his Herbology book as a childish whine echoed through the common room. Accompanied with the saddest doe eyes, James sounded like either Sirius had just committed some absurd crime against humanity or had murdered all the strays in the neighbourhood. Either way, this fake pity fest of his was not going to work because James' acting skills were as poor as his eyesight. Right now, he was just jealous, not sad.
"My lap is his," said Sirius with such a poker face that could have put the most professional gamblers into eternal shame to Lily who was unabashedly lounging on the said lap and went back to reading or at least tried to.
"Tell him that sharing is caring," hummed Lily lazily before rolling her eyes, because in all honesty dating James meant dating Sirius as well. Obviously, James disagreed, unamused by her playful approaches towards his best friend.
"Sharing is caring," said Sirius monotonously, already resigned to his fate of being two overgrown children's favourite toy and being fought over and put his book aside. Not that he could read with those two bickering anyway.
"Tell her that I don't care! Your lap is off limits." James stomped his feet and Sirius snickered. "How old are you again?" 
His reply was a cushion in the face which only made Sirius laugh harder as he turned to Lily.
"He doesn't care, my lap is off limits," he parroted.
"Tell him not any more."
"Not any more," this time Sirius' eye twitched as he repeated Lily's words. 
"Tell her…"
"Can you guys just bloody admit that you want to shag Sirius and be done with it? Some of us here want to study." A frustrated voice cut in and everyone gasped.
'Great job Lupin.' 
Sirius thought sarcastically as he glared at Remus who had just presented Lily and James with unnecessary sexual fantasies as if he was shoving a handful of candies down a pair of annoying kids' throats to shut them up. 
James gaped like a fish out of water and Lily's eyes went wide. Well, at least they both had the decency to blush and while Sirius found it amusing he couldn't help but to plan Remus' penile amputation. 
"You want to shag Sirius?" James asked carefully, staring at Lily with wide hazel eyes.
"Who doesn't?" answered Lily casually, voice steady despite her flaming cheeks.
The radio silence would have been funny to Sirius if he was not the main subject of this preposterous erotica.  
"Don't tell me you have not shagged him because I won't believe it, James." 
It went without saying that Sirius was already developing a migraine.
"Actually Sirius shags James. James prefers to bottom," said Remus - the ever helpful - Lupin and James turned the same shade as Lily's hair, hiding his face into his hands. 
'Wanker.'
"Shut up. How do you even know that?" snapped Sirius.
"You guys usually forget the silencing charm and James is loud," Remus raised an eyebrow as if he was talking about tomorrow's weather.
James looked pathetically embarrassed at this point and Lily's amused gaze was making it worse. Sirius sighed in defeat at last. He should have stayed in the library today.
"I'm going to the dorm to cast silencing charms. You two come up whenever James is done with strangling Remus," he told Lily and smirked in satisfaction as James cursed Remus with a stinging hex. 
"Will the show be hot enough to compensate for my boyfriend cheating on me with his handsome best friend?" asked Lily shrewdly, green eyes shining with mischief.
"You have no idea how hot your boyfriend is when he is prettily begging for it. People would pay Galleons to see," Sirius winked cheekily.
"Black, you slut," smirked Lily suggestively. 
"So is your boyfriend. Now, go grab him. My N.E.W.T.s schedule is tight and there are two of you," Sirius laughed merrily in response, persuasive and warm.

Serendipity
pairing: choi yeonjun x fem!reader
word count: 505
synopsis: You were stood up by your date, when a mysterious man came to take his place.
warning: bickering, and I think that is all? let me know if I have missed something :)
a/n: I'm back? kinda. just wanted to try getting back to writing, but let's see how this goes. this is kinda a series? or just a collection of written works until I get bored? pls don't expect frequent updates, I swear I'm bad at all of this 😭 anyway, I hope you guys like this :)) pls feel free to give feedback <3
master list for this series
~~~
At this point, you wondered why you had decided to show up in the first place. You should have dumped him the last time he said he would change. But now here you were, munching on some bread, annoyed and potentially planning his murder. As you munched, you sadly, very SADLY made eye contact with the old couple sitting diagonally to you. They shot you a sad look as you smiled back awkwardly.
As your gaze made its way around the room, you realized, everyone was taking sneaky glances at you. You were so going to murder him. Just as you were about to give up and head home, someone sat across from you, sighing loudly.
“So sorry babe, the traffic was preposterous.” The mystery man said.
“Preposterous? You literally called traffic that?” You replied, not surprised by the choice of words.
“Hey, I’m trying to help you here, and you’re insulting me?!” The man continues.
“Um, well thank you-”
“Yeonjun.” He smiles.
“Yeonjun.” You smiled back.
“So, before this gets awkward and we just start to gawk at each other, why don’t you tell me something about this idiot being who stood you up?” He continues.
“Well, his name is Leo. He was supposed to show up about, let's say an hour ago?” You draw.
“Be honest, how long have you been waiting?”
“An hour and a half?”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah.” You sigh.
“I’m surprised you haven’t thrown your glass of water at me.”
“I know, I should cause a scene. But that old couple sitting diagonally to us have been giving me pitied looks, and they’re looking at us now. So I’m kind of afraid that they might just get a heart attack if I do something this bold.” This makes the boy laugh.
Your eyes widen at the sound. You have encountered your fair share of attractive men, but this man, is something different. Even his laugh is something different. Maybe. Just maybe you are onto something with this date.
“Why did you decide to help me?” You ask, making Yeonjun tilt his head at you in response.
“What do you mean? I saw a pretty girl waiting for some douche and thought why not take a chance and treat you the way you should be treated? Nicely.” He asked.
“Sounds a little cocky to me.” You challenge.
“Agreed. Let’s just get to know each other as friends first. I am sure you will fall for my charms soon enough.” He smirks and shoots you a wink.
“Are you guys ready to order?” The waitress asks, and finally, you get to have food.
The entire night went by with you and Yeonjun conversing over something or the other. By the end, you were a little sad to be saying goodbye.
"Before you leave, I just want to say thank you. For everything." You say with a smile.
"I only accept thank yous in exchange for phone numbers." He says with a smile.
"Well, here you go then." You say, smiling back.

Jane Eyre - Part II
DKZJFBDGHSJAKSJD THIS IS THE WORST MARRIAGE PROPOSAL IN LITERARY HISTORY
*clears throat*
A few days ago I wrote this post about my first thoughts on Jane Eyre. Since people wanted to see my reactions to further events, here I am.
I gotta say: you were all holding out on me, because not only does Jane Eyre have a man more ridiculous than Darcy (by a CLEAR mile), but it also has a clergyman more insufferable than Edmund Bertram, which??? should not be possible???
Okay, so:
I was hoping Rochester would give up on the wedding and confess to Jane about his wife in the attic, but nope! And he would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling solicitor & brother-in-law. Like. This man is so idiotic, and felt so unbelievably sorry for himself, that he said with his full chest "yeah, bigamy is the solution! :D".
...Very uncomfortable how the narrative attributed the lowest possible vices to Bertha Rochester, while calling her "the creole". The vices weren't outright attributed to her being of mixed ancestry, but it felt like that was what was meant. All very uncomfortable. As uncomfortable as when the landed gentry wanted to visit a Romani encampment to see the Romani people (while, ofc, using the g-slur) as if they were animals in a circus? Hmmm, yeah, tough call!
(Look. I'm not gonna go around publicly denouncing books from past centuries for not being politically correct, bc that is an idiotic way to relate to literature from the past. Society was what it was, and not even the authors we admire so much were above that most of the time. But I can, and will!, look at certain things and go "wow, this aged like fucking milk". I think that's fair.)
AND THEN
Rochester, who can't possibly be thinking straight, proposes that Jane become his mistress!!!! Edward Fairfax Rochester, have you ever even MET Jane Eyre?? Do you know her but at all????
And he's like "me, me, me, what's to become of me, am I to be denied love, doesn't the world feel sorry for ME" and I nearly spit on my kindle, I was so mad XD How is this man, pushing fucking FORTY, putting on this preposterous show and leaving this 18-year-old girl to comfort him?????
(To bring up the sad sack that is Edmund Bertram again: it reminded me when Edmund wrote to Fanny: Maria has brought ruin to their name, Tom has nearly died, everyone is in distress, and he's like "But Fanny. Think of ME!!!" ugh)
But yes, honestly, Rochester's not evil, but he's so. goddamn. stupid. And draMATIC. I love him, he's a riot.
...I do not love how he kept blaming others for him marrying Bertha. Like. Sir. You were an adult and you married her of your own volition. "My father" this, and "her family didn't tell me" that, but YOU looked at her, thought she was gorgeous, and agreed to marry her. So fuck you. Hold yourself accountable, for a change. You man child.
So yeah, Jane runs away, which is totally the right decision, and without any money, which is totally the wrong decision, and ends up eating burned porridge again, and I'm like. If I had a nickel for every time Jane Eyre had to eat burned porridge while starving, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Jane is then saved by the Rivers siblings: Mary and Diana Rivers, who are absolutely precious, and St. John Rivers, who is absolutely
UNBEARABLE OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME
Me, every time St. John appeared on the page:
Tumblr media
Hey. Charlotte? Charlotte. Was this a ploy? Did you bring St. John into the story to have us like Rochester more? Is St. John your way of going "Yeah, I know, Rochester is deranged, and what he wanted to do was morally and legally and spiritually wrong, but look at how boring righteous people can be!"? Was it? If so, it FUCKING WORKED, BRING EDWARD ROCHESTER BACK RIGHT NOW.
*rubs temples*
Also??? aekjsdzcbvsdjfsk I can't: St. John: "I found you employment." Jane: "Really? Which is it?" St. John: rambles on about the will of God or something, for entire paragraphs. Jane, who patiently waited for him to finish: "So? The job?" St. John: "Right! I don't know if you're gonna like it, but" rambles on again about the will of God or perseverance or something, for entire paragraphs. Jane: "Right. And the job?"
SIR FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE TELL US WHAT THE FUCKING JOB IS
THIS IS LIKE MR. BROCKLEHURST ALL OVER AGAIN
...Oh. Oh.
That's the point.
St. John really is Brocklehurst again, I love it: both love to talk about how Christian they are, and how it's important to lead a life of humility, etc -- the difference being, ofc, that St. John is not a hypocrite, fat capitalist pig, he's actually leading by (insufferable) example. And they both make Jane feel bad about her true self, just in opposite ways.
And St. John wants to be a missionary, because of course this insufferable man wants to be a missionary and impose his views on nice people who are just living their fucking lives. And he goes on and on about... idk, bringing light to the unenlightened and saving pagans or whatever, and it's SO pedantic, and it's SO patronizing, and it's SO... UGH.
I cannot believe Jane gave this man a quarter of her entire fortune.
AND THEN
HE MAKES THE WORST MARRIAGE PROPOSAL IN THE ENTIRE ENGLISH LITERATURE
No, I have not read the entirety of English literature, but oh boy am I fully confident in my statement. This is the WORST. Like. Mr. Collins' proposal is a shining beacon of unbridled love and romance next to THIS.
Me, reading his proposal:
Tumblr media
"Jane, you weren't made for love, you were made for labour. You were made to be a missionary's wife" QEIARKSHV\CZNB;SAEKFJSDVC I'M GONNA GOUGE MY EYES OUT WITH A SPOON
At least Jane, too, was full aware of the insult XD Love that when she told Diana of the proposal, she repeated those exact words, and Diana was like "Girl, what??? Nu-uh!!!".
But it's all great. She refuses him, and he gets all prickly and assholish about it in the most holier-than-thou way possible, I hate him, but then she hears Rochester's voice in the wind crying out for her, and she hurries back to Thornfield. Sure, we've all been there.
Then we find out karma does exist and is the proverbial bitch: Rochester lost an eye, all of his eyesight, a hand, and his manor. Wow.
And then???? They have the CUTEST reunion ever???? And I was so happy for him???? For them??? Charlotte 😭😭😭👌👌👌
Rochester being all jealous of St. John, and I'm like "no, you're safe, he's the worst, he told Jane she wasn't made for love".
He also holds himself accountable at long last (hard not to, after all that), and he thought Jane was deeeeeeaaaad, and he was inconsolable and I'm a MESS
So all is good in the end: they marry -- LEGALLY! :D -- and have a child, and he recovers his eyesight on the eye he still has, and the Rivers siblings marry and are happy, and the book ends... with a letter from St. John saying he's dying??? WHAT
I love all of it. Specially St. John dying. A few stray observations:
The foreshadowing of future events is very well-planted, nicely done, Charlotte. That horse chestnut tree being split in half by lightning after Rochester proposes marriage to Jane? 👌👌👌👌👌 If I ever saw an omen!
And Jane. So smart, so good, so compassionate, so horny on main, so witty, so brave. May God keep St. John Rivers far away from her forever and ever.
LOVE how Jane begins with an aunt (who knows her and hates her) and 3 cousins (a John who torments her trying to diminish her, and two sisters who don't care if she's alive or not) and ends up having an uncle (who doesn't know her but loves her) and 3 cousins (a John who torments her trying to "elevate" her and two sisters who love her and save her life). The story is obviously very cyclical, and I enjoyed that a lot.
Don't know if I love or hate the fact that Charlotte slapped a "St." in front of the name of the John who wants to be a missionary and is the opposite of the first John XD (Yes, I know St. John is a real name, I've seen it many times before, but it's a bit on the nose here!)
...I wonder if Miss Ingram ever found out that Rochester wanted to marry the governess. I would've paid Charlotte Brontë good money to write THAT scene.
And last but not least: Pilot is the goodest boy in the whole wide world.

I am about to lose my mind with y'all, for real. To recap, we got: tons of new backstory content on Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship; tons of cute new content including them dancing together a la Jane Austen; two other queer relationships meant to parallel and contrast their own; a FUCKING KISS; confirmation from Neil that he has an entire third season planned out and, regardless of whether it gets made in a TV format, will definitely give it to us in some form or fashion... and there are still fans jumping online and acting the fool.
Look. I totally understand if relationship angst isn't your thing. I'm not always in the mood for it, and it has to make sense for the story and the characters. However, feeling a lot of feelings about how the season ended, or wishing it had gone differently as a personal preference, is not the same as getting on this platform and saying, with your whole chest, that it was HOMOPHOBIC for Aziraphale and Crowley to hit a major relationship snag. Was it goddamn sad? Absolutely. Did it hurt my soul? 100%. But there are people claiming that it's part of some new "queer people have to suffer" trend (an emotional bury-your-gays, if you will), and that Neil (noted storytelling genius and LBGTQ ally) wrote this ending as an elaborate form of queerbaiting.
My girls. My gays. My theys. My sweet, silly geese. This is preposterous. First of all, this is not how the story ends. It is a clear and masterful setup for a third season (or whatever form it takes, hopefully TV but we shall see). It's pretty typical for the second act of a story to end in some kind of tragedy or twist that needs to be resolved in the third act, and it's typical because it works great for narrative flow and character development.
Second of all, and I'm begging you to listen to me: it is not homophobic to have your queer couple experience relationship problems. It is not homophobic for there to be pain and difficulty before they get a happily ever after. It is not homophobic to let your queer characters deal with commitment issues, unresolved trauma, or other baggage that temporarily prevents them from being together. This is literally a staple of the romance story, regardless of the sexualities involved, and is something that almost anyone who's been in sexual or romantic relationships has experienced in real life to some degree.
Now, if there were truly a phenomenon in fiction where every single queer couple had to go through astronomical levels of difficulty to get a happy ending, proportional to fictional straight couples, and the sweet, uncomplicated stuff just wasn't there to indulge in, I'd concede a little. But that's just... not true. If you think it is, you may not be reading or watching broadly enough. Queer folk deserve to see queer characters overcome relationship conflict just as much as they deserve to have sweeter, escapist options.
If you're mad about Good Omens 2 because you prefer drama-free escapism in you queer relationships, or were expecting that and felt let down, that's fine, you have a right to your feelings. And it's always hard when you've waited for a story for four years and built it up in your head (which is why I generally try not to do that, but you do you). But, you do not have to justify your feelings by accusing the story of queerbaiting or homophobia. In fact, I beg you not to. Just say that it hurt and you wish it had been happier; it's okay for you to feel that way, and people shouldn't put you down for it.
But propping up your emotions by accusing a piece of media of implicitly contributing to a system of oppression that it actively works to undermine is just not where it's at, folks. There is media that genuinely does that, but this isn't it. Again, have all the emotions about the ending that you want, but stop crying wolf. It's getting old.

Hey! so what did you think about Claire on the bear? I've seen some people call her a mary sue, a mpdg, a pick me which feels a bit much to me lol. I generally agree w people who say that she wasn't fleshed out and felt out of place bc of how carmy viewed her. My only thing is she never felt like an ER Doctor. Her career was supposed to be equally demanding so it should've affected their relationship in some small way at least but she kinda just seemed available for him at any given moment.
One of them I can see an argument for, the other two no. So before I get into the one I can see an argument for, I really need people to understand that these terms actually mean something. They're not blanket descriptors for female characters who annoy you and while we're at it, just for initiumseries, I'm going to add for the record that there aren't male versions of pick mes and manic pixie dream girls because these stock characters (or in the case of a pick me, viewpoints,) are rooted in misogyny
A Pick Me is specific
Tumblr media
A Mary Sue is specific
Mary Sue stories—the adventures of the youngest and smartest ever person to graduate from the academy and ever get a commission at such a tender age. Usually characterized by unprecedented skill in everything from art to zoology, including karate and arm-wrestling [...] She saves the day by her wit and ability, and, if we are lucky, has the good grace to die at the end [...]
Like even Nathan Rabin who coined the term MPDG apologized for doing so because it keeps being misused:
I feel deeply weird, if not downright ashamed, at having created a cliché that has been trotted out again and again in an infinite Internet feedback loop. I understand how someone could read the A.V. Club list of Manic Pixie Dream Girls and be offended by the assertion that a character they deeply love and have an enduring affection for, whether it’s Diane Keaton’s Annie Hall or Katharine Hepburn in “Bringing Up Baby,” is nothing more than a representation of a sexist trope or some sad dude’s regressive fantasy.
It doesn't make sense that a character as nuanced and unforgettable as Annie Hall could exist solely to cheer up Alvy Singer. As Kazan has noted, Allen based a lot of Annie Hall on Diane Keaton, who, as far as I know, is a real person and not a ridiculous male fantasy.
From what I can recall, nothing about Claire is "Pick-Meish" or "Mary Sueish", she explains that when they were kids and a girl broke her arm, everyone was freaked out except for her because she wanted to understand the injury, that is not Pick Me-ish.
This is Claire
Tumblr media
not this
Tumblr media
The fact that she has six months left on her residency doesn't make her a Mary Sue.
Now with regards to being an MPDG, these are the characteristics of one:
That day in 2007, I remember watching "Elizabethtown" and being distracted by the preposterousness of its heroine, Claire. Dunst's psychotically bubbly stewardess seemed to belong in some magical, otherworldly realm -- hence the "pixie" -- offering up her phone number to strangers and drawing whimsical maps to help her man find his way. And as Dunst cavorted across the screen, I thought also of Natalie Portman in "Garden State," a similarly carefree nymphet who is the accessory to Zach Braff's character development. It's an archetype, I realized, that taps into a particular male fantasy: of being saved from depression and ennui by a fantasy woman who sweeps in like a glittery breeze to save you from yourself, then disappears once her work is done.
She isn't quite the "pixie" part of the trope, I don't think she's whimsical enough for that, instead I would say she's the "insufferable female lead in an indie" trope (love this!)
instagram
because she does kind of just appear or sweep in to Carmy's life and has this history with him
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and instead of giving Carmy her number, she asks for his, therefore the narrative places the onus of initial pursuit on her
Tumblr media
she's been carrying this torch for him since they were kids
Tumblr media
and her role is to be someone in his life that makes him feel good, that takes his feelings into consideration,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
that gives him peace
Tumblr media
that urges him out of his shell
Tumblr media
that shows him another way he can be and feel outside of the restaurant
Tumblr media Tumblr media
while we basically know nothing about her outside of that role.
What makes this iteration more complex than others is not Claire, it's not that she's a fully fleshed out character and we see more than a glimpse of her life and it's not that we get to know about her personally because we don't really, what we get is this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
which just goes back round to Carmy and his complicated relationship with food and cooking anyway
Tumblr media
the subversion lies with Carmy and how he needs to heal and still has a lot of unprocessed trauma that doesn't go away because Claire entered his life, the show shits all over the typical outcome of the MPDG coming into the male protagonist's life and making it all better.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not saying that they did that purposefully as in they're trying to say something about MPDG, like I don't think the show purposefully framed her as one or views her as one, I think they just wanted to show how deep-rooted generational trauma is and how it presents itself and how it affects your current relationships and it ended up being subverting an MPDG-esque trope for the male protagonist.
I don't know if any of this makes sense, I haven't slept and it's like 5 AM lmao.

a heart like yours part 4: the Romanoff intervention
Masterlist
Summary: Nat goes to see a god about a kiss and Wanda goes to see a sorcerer about unbreakable curses
Pairing: Steve x Reader; Loki x Reader
Word Count: 1.3k
Warnings: angst; sad Loki hours [let me know if i missed anything!]
Tumblr media
"FRIDAY, could you tell me where Loki is right now?" Natasha asked into the hallway, fully knowing that the AI was listening to everything. 
"Certainly, Agent Romanoff. Mister Laufeyson is on the roof deck with his brother at this moment. Will that be all?" 
"That will be all, FRIDAY. Thank you." 
She made her way up to the roof deck to find the gods sitting on the ground, Loki slumped over with his head between his knees, shoulders wracking violently, his brother looking somber and helpless as he held him in a loose embrace. 
Thor caught sight of Natasha first, looking up at her from his current placement, eyes brimming with tears. "Natasha, have you news on Lady Y/N's condition?" 
"Nothing new, I'm sorry. She's still asleep." 
"So she's lost to us," Loki exhaled, his voice gruff no doubt from his grieving of you. "There is no chance, no sliver of hope that perhaps she could return. This world will be devoid of her. My existence bereft of her."
"I might have an idea," Natasha told them. "The last one I have really, but it's still something." He looked up at the spy, silently pleading for her to go on. He would scour the entire realm to find whoever she thought could wake you. "You, Loki. You could wake her." 
"That's preposterous," he hissed, though without an ounce of his usual conviction whenever he  spoke. 
"You love her," she told the god. "That much is obvious, especially after today. You refused to let her go until we got here. You nearly dented Steve into the wall when we all realized he couldn't break the curse. You've protected her on every mission you've had together, at the risk of your own well-being. You think nobody notices, but we do. At least me and Wanda."
"Natasha, I know not what you talk about. Notices what?" 
"Okay so maybe it all flies over your brother's head, but trust us, we notice. It's why Steve still hates you even after two years with us. When we see her asleep in the common area and she's blanketed up in your cape. That time she got the flu and for the first and only time, you cooked? Yeah we know that was for her."
"Ohh that was for Lady—"
"Shut up, Thor," she cut him off. "The point is I know. Wanda knows. Hell even Morgan Stark knows. If you have a chance to wake her, to break this curse and get to keep her alive, why aren't you taking it?"
The next words out the dark-haired god's mouth floored her, never once thinking she'd ever feel for him. But in this moment, she did. "I'm not worthy of her."  
"What if you are?" she asked him. "What do you have to lose?" 
"Tell me this, Agent Romanoff, what if I do wake her? What happens then? What will happen when she opens her eyes and sees me and there is nothing but shock and abhorrence in her eyes? What if she sees me and wishes she would return to her cursed slumber?" 
"Did you ever think about what if she opened her eyes and she doesn't look at you with rejection? What if she sees who woke her and she's happy it was you? And regardless, wouldn't you at least take that chance if it meant she lives?" 
She saw the resolve start sinking in to him, the realization that even if you were to wake up because of him and you didn't return his love, at least you were alive. "And what if she remains asleep?" he said in a broken whisper. 
"Then you can take this time to say your goodbyes to her in private. You can spend her final days making sure that she's not alone, letting her know that she was loved." Natasha tried to maintain composure as she spoke about you as if you were already gone. "By no one more than you." 
With a final nod, he looked at the spy, once again flooring her with his response. "Thank you, Natasha." 
He stood and left her and his brother sitting on the roof deck, no doubt making his way back to you. To confess. To give you his heart. Risking it all for the sake of keeping you alive.
"Natasha, what if you're wrong? What if my brother cannot wake her?" 
"I think he will. But if I'm wrong? Then at least he'll be able to tell her while a part of her is still around to hear him. Honestly, though, I really think he's our best shot. And he is worthy of her heart. Don't tell him I told you this but…I think she loves him, too."
"But she's courting our Captain--"
"There's one thing our friend Y/N and your brother have in common, Thor. They both believe they're not worthy. Even if he does wake her, they might need a little bit of encouraging from their friends and family to push them into each other's arms." 
A small smile appeared on the blond god's face. "I will aid you in these efforts, my friend. Tell me what I must do." 
Tumblr media
"So what you're telling me, Stephen, is that this curse was only able to catch on to her in the first place, because it can be broken?" Wanda questioned the sorcerer after spending hours reading through every magical tome he had in his apartment within the Tower. 
"That's what every grimoire we've consulted so far says. Curses cannot be cast unless there is a viable way to break them. An unbreakable curse would simply drain the witch who cast it of all their power and turn them into a magical vegetable." 
"Y/N can be saved," she said, relief washing over her. "We just have to act fast."
"Yeah, find the guy who loves her with his entire heart. Like he hasn't been here the entire time, picking a fight with Rogers and fucking kneeling for her. Crying for her. Looking like he'd burn down the entire Yggdrasil just to get her to wake up."
"You know?" 
"Who doesn't? Anyone who's seen how he acts at Stark's parties knows. Always hanging around close by ready to beat some manners into the horny fuckers who try to make a grab at her. Turning down the literal supermodels who abandon all their self-respect for one night with him and then immediately going to Y/N and asking her to dance with him right after. Those weren't just plays to get women to back off him, Wanda. That was a statement. 'This woman owns me and nobody can take me from her' type, grand gesture sweeping statement."
"Idiots," she grumbled. "All this time they loved each other—"
"And the god was too chicken shit to make a move. So the soldier did."
"And now we’re here," she breathed out, her exasperation over this predicament showing through. "Idiots, the both of them."
"We have to make him try," she pleaded with the sorcerer. "For Y/N." 
"That we do. FRIDAY?"
"Yes, Doctor Strange?" the AI responded.
"Show me Laufeyson." An image projected into his room of Loki walking down a hallway. "Where's he going?"
"It appears that he's on his way to Agent Y/L/N's room in the medical wing. Earlier he was on the roof deck with Thor and Agent Romanoff." 
"Alright. Thanks, FRIDAY." He turned to face Wanda. "Looks like he's actually going to try." 
A bright smile formed on her face as she murmured, "Go, Loki." 
Tumblr media

Purpose: A Human's Guide to Angelkind - Draft
Note: Doctor Kuri here, the following is just a few draft entries of the larger project I'm working on. The members of the board have been on my ass recently so I needed something to tide them over until my research is done.
1) He-Who-Inspires-Tears
You might think upon hearing this angel's name that his stated Purpose, to bring sadness to mankind, is a thing of horror. We've all heard stories of angels with far less intimidating Purposes committing atrocities, but I assure you he is quite harmless.
The first time I met He-Who-Inspires Tears, it was side by side in the dumpster near the local bar. As you all are likely well aware, angels who fail to adequately uphold their Purpose (through varying definitions of the word 'adequate') often dispose of themselves into these.
However I was surprised to learn that he was digging through the dumpster as a method of fulfilling his Purpose, and not as a result of failing it. He told me he was looking for material for his latest novel, that the best way to bring sadness to many was through writing.
To a human, we might expect that he would perform mass murders, torture loved ones in front of each other, or other such horrible things, but to him those actions inspire different emotions than the ones his purpose drives him towards.
He told me he isn't terribly creative, so his main method of bringing sadness is to write about broken and abandoned things he finds and make sure as many people see it as he can. He calls it 'dollposting', a rather preposterous title but one doesn't simply argue with an angel.
2) She-Who-Bleeds-Skin
Another horrifying name for an angel that was surprisingly tame. I first found her in the middle of the road, halfway through a procedure with scalpel in hand. Beneath her was a little doll-thing, surrounded by the scraps of the human it failed to be.
An angel performing a doll conversion is a strange sight, but she told me that it was the best way to fulfill her Purpose and I had learned at this point not to voice my doubts (see Section 4: Taboos). Still, it is certainly better than it using that scalpel on actual people.
Her criteria for choosing which future non-people to convert was different than the standard state-mandated conversions or even those of the Witches from Beyond, but she wouldn't explain them to me. This professor can't help but pity those dolls a little though.
The sight of her red crackling halo as she performed conversions with nothing but a scalpel and too many rows of teeth was utterly horrifying, so I ensured this was my only encounter with She-Who-Bleeds-Skin.
3) They-Who-Flutters-Hearts
As is evident by me writing this, my encounters with They-Who-Flutters-Hearts were all performed from a safe distance and beyond several layers of fae-crusted steel plating. Information hereon is limited to what the Bureau of Rehabilitation approved.
They-Who-Flutters-Hearts is a Class 4 cogitohazardous bio-anomaly. They are currently held 3 kilometers underground in a state-run facility in [REDACTED]. By authorization of [REDACTED], they are currently utilized for administering the death penalty to [REDACTED] criminals.
Visualizations of They-Who-Flutters-Hearts, whether in-person, recorded, or through text description (experimentation shows readers with a high degree of Aphantasia are safe), will instantly lead to the perceiver's heart undergoing [REDACTED] and expiring shortly after.
They-Who-Flutters-Hearts enjoys warm tea and watching sunsets, and seemed quite distraught about their current circumstances. They however have had little trouble fulfilling their Purpose, so they have had made no effort to escape.
Note: Jesus, that last one had to go through sixteen revisions before I could finally get it approved. I know I accidentally killed the first reviewer since my first draft made a few mentions of the angel's appearance, but how was I supposed to know I had Aphantasia before then?
