My way of spiraling down dmbj fandom
1. Friends recommend The untamed in lock down.
Tumblr media
2. I discover that Guardian is a good show while actively obsessing over The untamed and trying to find very Manga and novel related to it.
Tumblr media
3. Liking the leads so much that I have to search other dramas fearuring the actors. Watching detective l and obsessing over Bai yu while finding nothing worthwhile for Zhu yilong
Tumblr media
4. Finding about Reunion : The sound of the Providence

Mini Me
Tumblr media
With how shitty my life is rn, I keep having these depressive episodes. Turns out my depressive episodes breed fluff
Max's six year old son has just started karting and his wife has to take him. Boy oh boy, does he miss his wife and son.
"So, Max, can we expect to see your little one around the paddock today?"
Ever since the day he was born, Fabian Verstappen had been seen with his parents around the Formula One paddock. He was always smiling and waving at those he knew and those he didn't. Fabian Verstappen was the happiest boy around.
Max was very proud of his boy. He showed him off to whoever he could. When he was young, he sat on Max's hip while he completed interviews and such.
Fabian was Max's number one supporter (Tied only by Max's wife and Fabians mother, Y/N. She followed him around the world three times before agreeing to marry him. It was a year long engagement, and in that time Y/N found out she was pregnant. They managed to keep it hidden until after their wedding, although Y/N did have to get a dress that better fit her bump).
There was a year between Fabian being born and him being able to attend his first race. Christian was happy to get him fitted out in Red bull Racing merchandise. He got his own little hat and a too large Red bull shirt with a thirty three on it (Max had lost that years championship. Red bull had won the constructors but Max had just missed out on the WDC. Red bull had worked out the kinks in the car and Max was bound to win this year, just as he had the previous year).
This year was the first year Fabian and Y/N weren't there to cheer Max on. And interviewers certainly picked up on it.
"Uh, no," Max answered when they asked about Fabian. "He and my wife are at a karting event right now."
The interviewer gave him a nod. "Following in your footsteps perhaps?"
Letting out a laugh, Max nodded his head. "We can only hope," he said.
"Do you think we'll be seeing him in a Red bull Racing suit in the next fifteen years?"
Again, Max nodded his head. "If he's anything like his dad, he'll be in a Red bull Racing suit before that," he said and adjusted the cap on his head.
Max left the interview and checked his phone. As much as he wanted Fabian and Y/N at his race, he knew how important karting was to his son.
Max has always been Fabian's hero. His first full sentence was 'I wanna be like daddy'. Max and Y/N did whatever they could to make Fabian's dream come true.
The one thing Fabian wanted but he couldn't have was to have his daddy at his karting races, watching him. There had been a lot of screaming and crying while Max and Y/N tried to explain to him why his father couldn't be there.
But Fabian had made friends at his Karting matches. He and the other kids he had raced against got along like peas in a pod. Fabian's first ever play date was with his karting friends. Some of them had been sat with their eyes and mouths wide open while Max brought them juice. They couldn't believe he, their hero and favourite driver, was Fabian's dad.
Max pulled out his phone and checked his messages. Nothing from his wife yet, but Fabian's race should have been done, he realised when he checked the time.
Dialling her number, Max pressed his phone to his ear.
It took Y/N a moment to pick up. "Hey handsome," she said in a chipper voice when she picked up the phone. Her voice was distant and slightly distorted, and Max realised she was in the car.
"Hello, Liefje. How's our little racer?" He asked her.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Came Fabian's voice. "I won! I won! I won!" He shouted.
Well, that answered Max's question. His cheeks were warm as he smiled, listening to his son. "Ik ben zo trots op je, mijn jongen. Ik kan niet wachten om jullie twee weer te zien!" (I'm so proud of you, my boy. I can't wait to see you too again!)
There was a moment before Fabian responded. He was fluent in English and French, but he was only good at Dutch. It still took him some time before he could work out what Max was saying and respond.
"Papa, ik... heb een... trofee." (Daddy, I got a trophy.)
There was a certain sense of joy that filled Max whenever Fabian answered him in Dutch. "Fabi, make sure mommy sends me a picture of your trophy," he said.
"I will do, Maxy," Y/N responded for the little boy. "Fabi, what do we say to papa?"
Again, Fabian was quiet for a moment. "Oh!" He suddenly cried from the back of the car. "Good luck with your race, Papa! Maybe you can win like me!"
The Verstappens laughed.
"Good luck, Max. Call me after you've won."
"I will, Liefje. I love you."
"I love you too."
Max hung up the phone after that. He his qualifying to get ready for. As he got ready, though, he spent the entire time thinking about his wife and son. He checked his phone constantly, waiting for Y/N to send over the picture of Fabian and his trophy.
No father had ever been prouder of his little boy than Max. Fabian was his everything and he couldn't wait to see him in the big leagues. Who knows, maybe Max would still be racing alongside him. Maybe he'd have Horner's job, team principle of Red bull Racing while his son raced as their number one driver.
No matter what, Max would always be Fabian's number one supporter.

i just thunk a thought so please bare with me
I’m thinking about how Mingyu is definitely the type of guy that’s drawn to someone who’s severely lacking love or might’ve been hurt deeply in past. He doesn’t do it consciously, but he just starts to notice you. How sometimes you have this far away look in your eyes, or how you keep your head down when talking to others or god forbid he overhears you demeaning yourself disguised in jest. He so full of love I see him gravitating towards someone who’s cup it’s damn near on empty but trying their best to save every last drop and he just wants to pour everything thing he has into it and then some; till it’s overflowing.
He doesn’t even realize his initial interest blossoming into a full blown crush. He wants to be the shoulder you cry on, he wants to carry any burdens you have, he wants to see that smile that reaches your eyes be directed at him. He just wants you bursting at the seams from happiness but he’s a little selfish in the fact that he wants it to be by his hand.
He notices the little things and big things about you that may go unnoticed by others and finds himself worrying over you and rooting for you even before you both have a proper conversation. Wondering if you ate, if you had a good day today, if you enjoyed the new episode of that anime he overheard you liked (he started watching it too), if you slept well even though the most you’ve both uttered to each other was a simple pleasantry in passing and a bow.
His mind reels when you kindly pick up things people accidentally dropped or that one time you helped clean up the coffee he’d spilt on the floor without a word. Or even that time when you offered a staff member your umbrella on a rainy day saying you had two, just for him to see you drenched in the rain a couple blocks away as his driver took him home (once recovered from the shock he shot out of the car running back to where he saw you last but you were long gone). His heart clenched painfully when he heard the reason he hadn’t seen you around the week after that was because you had come down with a nasty cold. You give and give without ever expecting anything in return; without thinking you deserve anything in return. But who’s giving to you?
He finds his gaze wondering off in your direction during social gatherings. His own features softly morphing into a for-longing smile as he sees you enjoy yourself with your group of friends, hearing that rare burst of genuine laughter at whatever you guys were joking about. He cursed his cowardice, not being able to approach confidently like how he’d imagine in his head so many times. He had some mutual friends maybe that’d be a good place to start—
He was startled out of his reverie as Seungwan pointed out his goofy expression teasing “What’s got you so distracted lover boy?” Mingyu ops to just huff a smile in into his drink as he bashfully looked away.
You, it was you who had him like this

MORE SG BLACK ARACHNIA BUDDY
I'm stuck on a retelling of the episode where meltdown and black arachnia work together. But it's just meltdown pulling some extremism by essentially kidnappy buddy and saying, "I'm either gonna fix it by turning it full organic or kill it, which ever comes first". And Buddy is desperately on the phone with Optimus like
Op - look, I'm coming, but don't you have Decepticon allies that you can call?!?!
Buddy who knows that if Megatron knew she was in danger, then the island would simply be collateral damage - ...no
HAHAHAHA! I love the little description of the call there!
Here is the unintentional, intentional, after math of the Sentinel and Elita reunion.
Hope you enjoy!
Elita One's Twin sister gets kidnapped by Meltdown
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Hinted romance, kidnapping, slight mention of torture, mention of burns, Cybertronian (techno organic) reader
TFA
How did Buddy end up here?
Strapped to an experimental table, shock collars adoring her neckcables and servos, too many muti-colored patches one her frame while a disgusting Puddle Man taking notes on a weird looking monitor.
Buddy would have to start from last week to be able to tell you that.
Buddy had stayed on Dinobot Island for the night trying to calm down from that night’s events.
The Dinobots were more than happy to have Buddy over though they were worried about what happened the night before.
Buddy is sitting and patting Swoops head as Snarl keeps guard of the cave entrance.
Grimlock is sitting behind her.
“Buddy ready to talk?”--Grimlock
Buddy continuing to pat Swoop.
“No.”--Buddy
“Why?”--Grimlock
“Because I said so.”--Buddy
“You say that not real answer.”--Grimlock
“Well—”--Buddy
“And that way to—erm—avoid question.”--Grimlock
“… When did you get so smart?”--Buddy
Grimlock puffing chassis a bit in pride.
“Grimlock smartest of Dinobot’s!”--Grimlock
“Yes, you are.”-Buddy
“So… Buddy talk, now?”--Grimlock
“No.”--Buddy
Buddy made sure she went back to the base as soon as the next boat had arrived near the island and beelined straight to the base.
To her surprise and slight hurt, no one had noticed she had gone the night before.
Not even Megatron.
Then again, she couldn’t blame him.
The Elite Guard was still on Earth after all, he had more things to worry about.
After a week, Buddy decided to do something she hadn’t done in a while.
Buddy walking towards the exit of the base.
“And where do you think you’re going at this early in the morning?”--Starscream
Starscream leans against the cave wall with his arms crossed.
“I’m taking a walk outside.”--Buddy
“Don’t you have a med bay to re arrange again?”--Starscream
“I’m taking the day off.”--Starscream
Starscream’s wings slightly perk in question.
“You? Taking a day off? Has Megatron finally grabbed his bearings and asked you then?”--Starscream
“Asked me what?”--Buddy
“Ask you to—”--Starscream
Megatron appears behind him scaring the two.
“Go one Starscream what were you going to say?”--Megatron
Starscream chuckles a bit nervously.
“Ah he isn’t doing any harm now Megatron.”--Buddy
“Yet.”--Starscream
“Shh! Anyway’s I was telling him that I was taking the day off today. I sent the message through the link, and I was going out for a walk—”--Buddy
“You are… taking the day off?”--Megatron
“Yes? Why is it so hard for you two to believe that.”--Buddy
“Lugnut wouldn’t believe you.”--Starscream
“Oh that’s a bit of a stretch—”--Buddy
“Hey Lugnut!”--Starscream
Lugnut stops walking with Blitzwing by his side.
“Why is everyone awake? No one is up by this—”--Buddy
“Buddy says she’s taking the day off.”--Starscream
Random starts laughing hysterically while Lugnut looks confused.
“Buddy…taking the day off?”--Lugnut
“OH, COME ON! I am not that bad! I can take a break when I want to.”--Buddy
All the Decepticon’s having flashback’s of dragging Buddy away from her work or to sleep at a decent time, some getting out with injuries.
“…”—All the Decepticon
“…Look I’m going out today for a walk. No one is going to call me unless someone is dying.”--Buddy
Buddy hops off the ledge and swings away from the group who is left astounded.
“…So this is the future you have in mind Megatron?”--Starscream
“Starscream I swear…”--Megatron
While on the walk someone pinged her on her commlink.
Despite what she had just told the entire team an hour earlier, she still took the call.
Blame the anxiety and bad habits.
It was Prime.
“Hello?”--Buddy
“Prowl where—Buddy?”Optimus
“…Hey Prime…”--Buddy
“Wait don’t hang up, please!”--Optimus
Buddy pauses a bit.
“Go on…”--Buddy
“How are you?”--Optimus
Buddy lets out a shaky vent.
“As okay as I can be Prime. I take it you didn’t call me on purpose?”--Buddy
“No—I mean—that came out wrong…”--Optimus
“…Hey Optimus… I never got to tell you how sorry—”--Buddy
“No.”--Optimus
“What?”--Buddy
“You are not going to say sorry. You had good intentions that night. It on them now. If we are going to blame anyone it should be me—”--Optimus
“And I’m going to stop you there too.”--Buddy
“Wait no, I’m still stopping you.”--Optimus
“But now I’m stopping you.”--Buddy
“No, I am.”--Optimus
“No, I am!”--Buddy
“No, I am!”--Optimus
Silence.
Both friends on the line end up laughing.
They both knew it was going to be okay.
At least with them.
Sentinel and Elita were still another story.
“Why did you originally call for anyways Prime? You didn’t want to speak to your friendly neighborhood Spider?”—Buddy
“What I—I mean—”--Optimus
“I’m just messing with you Optimus. Tell away.”--Buddy
“I was trying to get a hold of Prowl. So much has been going down on the base. Mainly everyone has been a bit more… chaotic than usual. I was calling because I have a lens Prowl wanted.”--Optimus
“What kind of lens?”--Buddy
“His nature camera lens on Dinobot Island had gotten cracked last week and he has been… a bit moodier without seeing his birds.”--Optimus
“Well Optimus today’s your lucky day. I have the day off and—”--Buddy
“You have the day off? Really?”--Optimus
“Why is everyone surprised about this? I can take breaks.”--Buddy
Optimus having a flashback to the Academy were Elita, Sentinel and him dragging Buddy out of the study room with dents on them all.
“… Right…”--Optimus
“Anyways I can go to the island and fix it myself.”--Buddy
“I don’t want to interrupt—”--Optimus
“You’re not interrupting anything Prime. Anyways it gives me an excuse to go see the boys.”--Buddy
“Thanks Buddy, you’re a life saver.”--Optimus
“You got it Prime.”--Buddy
Now she was on Dinobot Island.
She managed to find the camera, but its lens wasn’t just broken.
It had some sort of … burns…
Buddy needed to inspect this more. Nothing on the island could have done these types of burns. Nothing organic at least.
She grabbed the camera when she heard some familiar pede steps.
Buddy turns to see the Dinobots coming towards her.
Buddy waves hello.
“Hey, guys!”--Buddy
Dinobots running faster.
“Hey, you slow down now…”--Buddy
Dinobots run even faster.
“WAIT, WAIT, WAIT—”--Buddy
Dinobot’s tackle Buddy to the ground.
“Guys…as much as I love you all… I’m not…as durable…as you…”--Buddy
“Dinobot’s get off Buddy who is just lying in a silhouette crater.
“Ow…”--Buddy
Grimlock picks Buddy up with one servo and dusts her off a bit.
“Thank you—Hold on what is that?”--Buddy
Buddy looks at a familiar looking burn on Grimlock’s thigh.
Grimlock shivers a bit as Buddy’s servo comes near the wound.
Buddy turns to see the others have similar burns.
“What happened?”--Buddy
“Dinobots… umm… Me Grimlock…”--Grimlock
“Is something hurting you?”--Buddy
Grimlock shaking his helm.
“…Is someone hurting you?”--Buddy
A hesitant nod from all three.
Buddy got out her med kit to look at the burns while gently petting them.
Buddy asked what happened to them after caring for each burn the best she could with her supplies.
They told Buddy that some puddle man hurt them.
Buddy’s optics harden.
Someone was hurting her friends.
They were going to pay.
Pay dearly.
Buddy finishing up the last injury.
“By any chance, do you remember the last place the ‘Puddle Man” was?”--Buddy
“Yes, it near gorge.”--Grimlock
Buddy nodding her helm slowly.
Grimlock suddenly looked nervous.
“Buddy not going to go see ‘Puddle Man’, right?”--Grimlock
“I just want a talk to the ‘Puddle Man’.”--Buddy
Buddy begins to move forward, but Grimlock quickly blocks her.
“No! Buddy no go! Puddle Man hurt Buddy!”--Grimlock
Snarl and Swoop nod their helms in agreement.
“I’ll be fin—”--Buddy
“No!”--Grimlock
Buddy shoots a web upwards and swings out of the Dinobot circle.
“Sorry guys! But someone’s going to pay for this!”--Buddy
“Buddy!”--Grimlock
Buddy quickly disappears into the bush.
Grimlock turns to Swoop.
“Get Truck bot.”--Grimlock
Swoop nods hurriedly and flies off.
As Buddy swung towards the gorge, something cut off her webs making her tumble to the ground. She slammed her helm on a sharp rock causing her to black out.
That brings us back to the present.
The Puddle Man had introduced himself as Meltdown.
Some wannabe scientist that got himself into a bit of an accident making him look like this, ‘Puddle Man’.
Buddy had tried to get out of the bonds but after a couple volts of electricity and a couple dozen acid burns to the pedes later Buddy decided that it was going to be better to wait it out for an opportunity to show up.
“Let me get this straight. You want to make me fully organic… so you can figure out how to turn yourself back to human? Am I missing anything?”--Buddy
“That sum everything up, yes.”--Meltdown
“Do you take constructive critic?”--Buddy
“…I’ll allow it.”--Meltdown
“That is the dumbest thing I have heard today.”--Buddy
“WHAT?!”--Meltdown
“You’re trying to turn me, someone who isn’t organic by nature, to become fully organic. We both have different biology and not to mention the methods of—”--Buddy
Meltdown cranks the electricity collars on making Buddy scream.
“I’d watch your tone if I were you. If I don’t find out a way to make you fully organic, you’ll be discard like the rest.”--Meltdown
Buddy giving him the stink eye while side eyeing the mismatched bones and fur in the corner.
“You can’t even dispose of your own garbage Meltdown.”--Buddy
“I’m going to enjoy this.”--Meltdown
“Enjoy whaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!”--Buddy
The collar sparks with more voltage than before while Meltdown looked down at her with a sadistic smile.
Buddy didn’t know what was more surprising.
The fact that her original frame and organic frame was still intact from the electricity and burns or the fact that Meltdown had to leave his lab to use the bathroom.
Buddy wasn’t going to push it any further.
She managed to get a hold on the com link that was still in her audial and pressed on it.
“Optimus—”--Buddy
“Buddy where are you!?”--Optimus
Buddy wincing a bit at the volume.
“Shush! Prime, you’re going to get me caught.”--Buddy
“Caught?! Caught by who?”--Optimus
“You familiar with ‘Meltdown’?”--Buddy
Optimus paling on the other end of the line.
“Yes.”--Optimus
“I’m in some lab of his and I can’t exactly get out.”--Buddy
“I’m already on my way.”--Optimus
“That’s—urgh—fast.”--Buddy
“One of the Dinobots came and asked for me. We’re half way to the Island now.”--Optimus
“Oh, thank the Allspark.”--Buddy
“Did he hurt you?”--Optimus
“…Do you really want that answer?”--Buddy
“Buddy…”--Optimus
“I’m just trying not to look at them and get nervous.”--Buddy
“We’re almost to the shore.”--Optimus
“Good.”--Buddy
“Buddy, have you tried contacting your… team?”--Optimus
Buddy already having the vision of the island engulfed in flames.
“…No, I haven’t but there’s a good reason—”--Buddy
Toilet flushes.
“Prime I have to go! Find Me Prime!”--Buddy
Buddy releases her commlink silently tensing when Meltdown comes in.
“Shall we continue?”--Meltdown
Now all she had to do was stall Meltdown until Prime came.
Meltdown came back and began fiddling around with some of Buddy’s buttons near her helm.
To her horror she saw him press the mainlink to the Decepticon base, the one that would radio into the main computer.
While he was prodding around a few drops of acid fell on her.
She screamed as the acid met her chassis.
Buddy heard someone in her audial talking to her, but she couldn’t quite put her digit on it.
Mentally and physically.
Meltdown had somehow managed to figure out the link was something important and decided to play around with it.
He smeared more acid on her chassis.
She wailed in agony.
There was a bunch of noise in her audial now, but it eventually faded away as she blacked out from the pain.
When Buddy woke up again into was slow and painful.
Her optics were hazy and unfocussed, mainly seeing giant blobs.
She tried focusing on her senses first before dealing with everything else.
Buddy’s back was still on the table, but the patches were gone and so were the collar around her neck and servos.
Speaking of servos, something or someone was holding onto one of them with a death grip.
Strange enough, the touch felt familiar, nostalgic even.
Buddy tried focusing her vision on what was holding her servo and nearly had a spark attack right there.
It was Elita.
Okay this was surely a dream or Meltdown had failed to make her completely organic and this was her mind making a scenario to ease her into death.
She finally had enough consciousness to finally look around the room and was now fully convinced she was dreaming.
Next to Elita who was looking sadly at their intertwined servos was Optimus and Sentinel with Ratchet.
The three mechs seemed to also be looking across the room to…
Oh, Primus, why were they doing here?!
And how where the Bots not dead!?
On the other side of the room was Megatron with Blitzwing and Starscream glaring at the other Autobots.
Buddy gave Elita’s servo a squeeze making her snap up to look at Buddy smiling weakly.
Buddy gives Elita’s servo a bit of a squeeze.
Elita’s helm snaps up to see Buddy smiling weakly at her with barely opened optics.
“What’s with the look? Someone died?”--Buddy
Elita practically launches herself onto Buddy, hugging and crying on her neckcables.
Everyone else in the room finally understood that Buddy was awake now and tried to reach for Buddy.
Buddy gives them each a smile before motioning the door.
Motioning for privacy.
Her team was hesitant to leave, but eventually followed the Autobot’s out.
Elita finally released Buddy.
“Buddy, Buddy I’m so sorry—hic—I’m so sorry!”--Elita
“It’s okay Elita—”--Buddy
“No, it’s not! Look what happened to you! You nearly died here and…and--”--Elita
Buddy slowly takes her twins servo in her own.
“Things…things happen Lita…”--Buddy
Buddy pauses waiting to hear Elita tell her not to call her that.
She doesn’t.
“Somethings are out of our control, and we can’t just stick in one place for the rest of our lives. I got turned into a techno organic and made peace with it. This is a part of who I am now, and I accept it. Imagine if I didn’t and was bitter about it? I wouldn’t want to live a life were the only thing I have to look forward is revenge or something.”--Buddy
Elita sniffs a little bit.
“You took my place though. Aren’t you a little bit mad at me? At Optimus? At Sentinel?”--Elita
“I did at first. I wanted to blame everything on you guys and those Spider’s. But you know what Lita? It isn’t any of you guys’ fault. I made my decision back at that cave and I don’t regret it. Not for a nanoclick.”--Buddy
“But—”--Elita
“If I had the option of going back to that moment, I wouldn’t change a thing. I…I love Lita, and nothing’s going to change that.”--Buddy
Elita now fully sobbing on her twin.
Buddy starts bawling too as she hugs her back.
“Hey, I know this is off topic, but what happened to Meltdown?”--Buddy
Elita scowls.
“He got away. But don’t worry, I don’t thinks he’s coming anywhere near you ever again.”--Elita
“If you say so…”--Buddy
Buddy clung to Elita’s side as they both made their way out of the lab.
Buddy found it a bit funny how everyone was outside on their respected sides some silently glaring more than others.
Turns out the Dinobot’s had taken liberties to act as mediators between the two factions if things got out of hand.
Buddy waving at the group.
“Hi!”--Buddy
Dinobot’s waving back happily.
Buddy’s view was suddenly blocked by Megatron’s chassis.
“Are you all, right? Why are you even standing? Did the doctor do a good job? You shouldn’t be standing.”--Megatron
Megatron scoops Buddy up into his arms and walks back to his side.
Optimus looks relieved.
Sentinel too but tries to hide it in front of the Decepticon’s.
Ratchet also visibly relaxes a bit.
Starscream and Blitzwing stand close to Megatron nearly shielding Buddy from the other’s view.
“If there are any further complications—”--Ratchet
“I know where to find you field tech.”--Megatron
Megatron nods at the Autobot’s before taking off with Buddy in his arms with Starscream and Blitzwing following suite.
“Do you think she’ll be all right?”--Sentinel
“Of course she is. Don’t count her out of anything kids.”--Ratchet
Ratchet’s right. We’ll see her again, maybe not soon, but we will eventually.”--Elita
Optimus smiles at his friends.
“Let’s go home.”--Optimus
Meanwhile at the Decepticon base.
Megatron walks straight to Buddy’s room closing the door behind him.
He gently places Buddy down on the berth.
He sits down next to her.
“…Megatron—”--Buddy
“Not now.”--Megatron
He gently grabs her smaller servo in his.
Buddy slightly blushes at the action.
“…We can talk about this later.”--Buddy
“Yes, but now…”--Megatron
His servo lets go of her’s and pulls her into a side hug mindful of the injuries.
Buddy leans into his frame venting softly as exhaustion starts taking a toll.
“Buddy… there is something I need to tell you. I—”--Megatron
Megatron looks down to see Buddy fast asleep.
He chuckles a bit and gently places her on the berth.
His servo lingers on her’s before letting go.
He goes to the door and quietly walks out.

I saw a post earlier that I want to address, because while it was the most recent (and dumbest) take, it was not the only time I had seen this "problem" crop up.
But before I get there, as always headcanon and let headcanon.
And note to the OP and those who think like them: nothing in a fanfic HAS to be rooted in canon. We all know that Eddie would never work retail, but we do love making him a record store employee/owner, florist, barista. It's called FAN fiction.
You also don't get to decide if Eddie coming back or not until the last credit rolls on the final episode and it fades to black. We all thought Hopper was a goner, and he came back for season 4.
Now, do I have things that take me out of a story, sure. See post here for an example of those things. Or really anything under my #ladykailitha rants tag. But this topic is not one of them.
The topic for today:
Steve staying at Eddie's bedside and "ignoring" Max. Also OP what the fuck do you mean that Steve and Eddie didn't earn devotion for each other? That scene RIGHT before they go after Vecna is FILLED with devotion for each other.
Right, right, breathe. This isn't about whether or not Eddie and Steve had a connection or not. Although...
Maybe, in a way, it does. Maybe that's these people's problem. They didn't see how close two got in such a short time. Their conversation in the forest is very indicative how close they got in the span of less than a week.
But as close as they get, the reason that Steve would be at Eddie's bedside and not Max's boils down to good ole fashion guilt (and that Max would have literally EVERYONE else watching over her.)
Guilt that he didn't have an adult or older kid stay with Max and the Sinclair siblings. Guilt he told Eddie not be a hero when all Eddie had talked about was how he felt like a coward and how shitty it made him feel. Guilt that he let Max be bait. Guilt that he didn't push harder for that one hour! Just think of the things that could have been avoided if they had waited ONE HOUR.
Jason and his goons would found the house, saw it was empty and left. The bats would have dropped dead, leaving Dustin and Eddie safe. El would have been better prepared for Vecna. The cascade of things that would have been better if only they had waited that one hour.
So he can't look at her because he sees his greatest failure. She DIED. El brought her back. But she died. And maybe Eddie died too, but he was brought back through CPR and other medical means. El had bring her back. How can he even be in her presence when it was his fault she was there in the first place?
Conversely with Eddie, he's by his bedside with a nail bat and a mission to keep him safe. He may have been cleared of the murders, but people don't care. They'll try to hurt him. So Steve stands guard. To make sure nothing more happens to the sweet boy who was only trying to help a scared teenager get some relief and got dragged into the Upside Down stuff.
So yeah, there is plenty of reasons for Steve to stay at Eddie's side, but the biggest one? Guilt.

Not the OP but I imagine that last ask was re the fact they talked about The Box Scene in today's podcast episode and said they can understand why it was cut because it was 'lackluster'. 🙄
Nonny #2 - Sorry second nonny, I didn't realize I copied and pasted wrong, and deleted your message before adding it correctly. <3
@wowbright says : In case you didn't have this context, and the latest episode apparently they said that the box scene was probably cut because it was "lackluster" and "not very good." That has set people off. (And personally I think it's a weird opinion. Like, it was probably cut for time because of less relevance to the rest of the episode?)
I'm going to kind of hit all of this at once. Because I have some thoughts.
First of all, about the actual scene, while I understand why it was cut - in that there were time constraints and, no, it isn't pushing the story forward, it is a cute little scene that reestablishes where their relationship is in the grand scheme of things. And you know what? They made it canon at the end, so there's that.
It's not a bad scene, nor is it lackluster. It's of equal value, honestly, as the Santa Baby scene.
Secondly, that's a shame they downplayed what it did for charity. That's a huge deal, it's a shame they can't recognize the significance of a fandom movement -- especially as they raise money for things like Snixxmas and Alexandria House.
My third point is of two parts….
A) Kevin and Jenna do not know (or care) how to be objective. They just don't. They've proven time after time that they're watching things they like and do not care about the rest of it. It doesn't make me want to listen to it, and it's a shame they can't muster enough professionalism to try, but it's their podcast, and at the end of the day I can't change that.
B) You guys keep acting as if there's some big conspiracy theory as to their reasonings and at the end of the day -- more so going back to my original Nonny from earlier today -- they just do not care about Klaine. They think about Klaine in the way that I think about Jarley. They're there -- they take up screen time that I wish was given to other things -- and it's not something I particularly enjoy sitting through.
[But as an aside - I like to think I can be objective enough to admit when something is written or done well. And going back to point A, Kevin and Jenna don't know how or don't care to even put the work in on that.]
It is not about Chris. It is not about Darren. (And the speculation is a little odd there -- but we don't know them, maybe they do hate Darren (doubtful guys) but either way, I really, really do not think it has to do with this.)
And interestingly, I don't necessarily think it's solely a dislike of Blaine either. I know they praise Chris a lot, but they really skip over some great Kurt things, too, that aren't related to Klaine.
And yes, it really is about Naya and Cory and themselves. They are more personally invested in those stories and those people and that is going to color how they see the show. It just is. It's how people work.
Going back to point B - the reason it hits hard for us is that for them (like how I feel about Jarley) it's not personal and it doesn't mean much. It's just kind of there. But for us, it is personal. We do see all the good things (along with the bad) and it has meant a lot -- it's been a personal love -- it has meant very deep things to people.
And what may hit hard for people -- and what Kevin and Jenna are completely missing because they're really not good at the objectivity or the looking at the big picture -- is the fact that when you disregard the thing, it feels like a personal judgment on /you/.
And guys - it's not. They just happen to dislike/not be invested in a thing we really love, and that's kind of it. I find it unfortunate. I am kind of disappointed in their lack of understanding I really have stopped listening to the show other than interviews I want to listen to. I wish there was a way that I could explain that to them - but I don't really know how.
I don't really have any answers other than that guys. :/
It'll be interesting to see how they handle Seasons 4-6, where Artie is almost a prop, Tina goes crazy, and there is a fuckton of Blaine, Kurt, and Klaine.
Or maybe they'll end it at Season 3. Who knows. shrugs

I finished up a little earlier than usual today with everything, so I went out to the park behind my house to walk and get some fresh air. It was nice. I really enjoy the trail because it goes into an area full of trees and there are cute bridges and a little stream and some wooden platforms and a gazebo at different points. There is also a rock garden on the outskirts near the main road, but the hill to get up there is slightly steep. You can take that path or go up the stone stairs. It's relaxing. I like to do walking meditations there. I used to go with my brother a lot, but since he's away at university, I go mostly by myself when I'm not with my parents. Don't worry, I have things to keep me safe when I'm by myself, but the neighborhood the park is in has a very low crime rate and there are usually several older individuals on this particular trail too.
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable week thus far.

Being Spinner's Doting S/O
warnings: food mention, cursing
other: gn! reader, fluff
part 4 of League of Villains' Doting S/O
Tumblr media
For Shuichi being with you was the best thing in the world, every second spent with you was his own personal heaven. He adored you, he had no clue how he managed to get you to date him, part of him thinks it’s part of some elaborate joke. You made him nervous, he had it ingrained in his brain that no matter how long the two of you were together, you’d still fill his stomach with butterflies. You guys had the day off, you expected him to be busy with Shigaraki playing whatever new rpg came out recently, but to your surprise he walked into your room. “Hey, what do you want for breakfast? Twice is going on a food run.” 
“A bagel maybe?” You weren’t that hungry yet,, but you both knew you’d be hungry by the time Twice got back. 
“Coffee too?” He knew you never went a morning without it.
“Yes, please!” You smiled and he went to relay the message. You turned on your pc and opened up Steam, you wanted to find something to keep you busy for the day. There was a sale on co-op games and you excitedly scrolled through trying to find something that you could get Shuichi to play with you at some point. You knew he’d play anything if you pouted enough, but you wanted to find something that he would actually enjoy. You thought about getting Overcooked, but it looked like it would get old quick, so you settled on It Takes Two. You began the download and walked out to the common room where you heard everyone’s voices. You saw Twice and Toga divvying up all the food and went to stand next to Spinner. You wrapped your arms around one of his and placed your head on his shoulder. Had he been able to blush, his face would’ve been bright red. He was used to you clinging to him, but not in front of everyone. 
“Get a fucking room.” Dabi said as he made his way back to his room to eat his meal. You saw Shuichi’s eyes drop, you didn’t know what to do in the moment. Luckily, Twice handed you two your food, so you didn’t have to do anything but grab it. Usually you would eat with everyone, but you wanted to be solely with your boyfriend. He raised an eyebrow when you walked away from the table, you tilted your head towards your room to signal him. You placed down your coffee and bagel and proceeded to clear off the rest of the desk to make room for Spinner. You put on the newest release of his favorite anime to watch as you ate, a happy little hum came from him. 
“This is really good, how’s your bagel?”
“It’s good! And the coffee isn’t too sweet.”
“I did a good job remembering then?”
“Of course you did.” You smiled at him.
Once you were both done eating and the episode ended, you broke the silence. “You know he’s a douche, right?”
“Huh?”
“Dabi. Don’t let him upset you.” 
He didn’t notice at the time that his face showed it. “I know, but he still bothers me. Why is he like that all the time, doesn’t he get tired of it?”
“The day Dabi stops being a dick is the day I win the lottery.” This reply earned you a laugh from Spinner. “Are you and Shigs going to play anything today or do I actually get my boyfriend to myself?”
“All you have to do is ask. You know I’d rather be in here with you than in his mess of a room.”
“Yeah, but you like those games a lot.”
“Not more than I like you.” You hid your face in your hands to hide your embarrassment caused by his cheesy remark. “Hey, let me see that smile.” You met his gaze and saw a small pout on his lips, it made you laugh. 
“I bought It Takes Two, that’s why I asked.”
“And you want to play it with your favorite person, don’t you?”
“Oh shut up and grab a controller, loser.” You said, lightly shoving his head. He got up to get it and you stood in front of your chair. You motioned for him to sit in it and so he did. You positioned yourself in his lap and booted up the game. He wrapped his arms around you, holding the controller in your lap. “I love you, Shuichi.” 
“Love you too.” You could hear the smile on his face. He was over the moon, you’re all he could ever dream of and there you were in his arms, choosing to spend your must needed day of rest with him of all people. It was a perfect day and neither of you would have it any other way.
Tumblr media
a/n: my little lizard man ! also maybe i wrote about It Takes Two because my friends refuse to play with me, mind your business </3

About my Glorfindel x Mîr x Lindir short drabble like fics . I was planning to write a fic about them but then i didn't due to unforeseeable circumstances. I was just processing the story in my mind, doing the logistics, artichture layout and all those things and finally decided that.
Tumblr media
So, I'll begin the basic background of the story
When the story is set?
Set during the earlier years of the Third Age, after Sauron has been thrown down and there is relative peace in Middle Earth. But people are still wary of outsiders. The plot is linear but get ready for jump cuts and dragged out scenes like 6th season of a sitcom.
What is Mîr?
Short answer : That's my oc whos story you'll know in while reading my fic
Long answer : Mîr had been living in my mind rent free for years. She was two ocs that merged into one. I'll give a short description
, she's a maia as well as a modern* character in middle earth. Didn't made sense right? It will, I promise.
What to expect?
I'll say the genre is somewhere between slice of life and a sitcom. It will have some some action moments but they'll be sparse and few.
I wanted to write this few because i loath the modern girl in middle earth stories writing style. Like why does a teenager has a divine purpose in a death march in another world? Why does creatures of a certain planets reacting to an alien* in such manner? Where is the curiosity of knowing about your surroundings and exploration of culture? Culture shock and appreciation? It just doesn't make sense to me. So, this story will try to be as realistic as it could be with the touch of fanatasy. In conclusion its a purely self indulging fluffy story.

20 Questions for fic writers
@acewithapaintbrush posted and said "go for it" so here i am! putting this under a cut because it got long lmao
How many works do you have on Ao3?
33
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
303,124
3. What fandoms do you write for?
dc/batman/birds of prey, with some until dawn and uncharted thrown in there. right now it's mostly one piece though.

misery loves company. (dc/batman/jason & damian)
5. Do you respond to comments?
yes! i appreciate them a ton. sometimes it might take me a few days but i try to respond to every single one
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
ooh that's a tough one, because while i like to include a lot of notes of angst, most of the endings have been on decent notes. maybe if you go out in the woods today (until dawn) because it's a vanishing hitchhiker au.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
probably the salt & the sea. (one piece)! i'd like to think all of that build up to the end and the reunion was worth it. (and it was to me, at least!)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
luckily i have not!
9. Do you write smut?
hehe i have and i want to again!
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you have written?
nope! not really my thing.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
years ago i noticed some similarities in ideas, but nothing too major.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
i haven't!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
i have... considered doing so...
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
since i tend to bop between fandoms, i don't really have one! right now it's zolu, but i also really enjoy the dynamics of the straw hats as a whole. i'm rotating them in my mind like a rotisserie chicken.
15. What is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i think unfortunately the first op fic i started is going to end up being something the buzzards (me) pick at for lines and ideas. or maybe someday in the far future it will see the light of day. (i started it 70 episodes into my watch and stabbed zoro haha)
16. What are your writing strengths?
i like to think i can convey emotions and character interactions. i also enjoy some of the physicality between them, so i hope that shows as well!
17. What are you writing weaknesses?
balancing out dialogue between a large cast of characters and pacing in action sequences. want to keep enough happening to keep things moving, but not repeat myself four times.
18. Thoughts of writing dialogue in another language in fics?
why not, if it works?
19. First Fandom you wrote for?
honestly i think my friend and i wrote twilight parody fic when we were in middle school LMAO
20. Favorite fic you have written?
more recently i'm very proud of the zolu reincarnation au i've mentioned above, but i'm also really, really happy with the way the zoro pining fic ode to an ocean. turned out. that one has a few of my favorite lines in it! (also maybe my next wip ... or who knows)
thanks for the tag by proxy ace!
if they're interested in doing so, i'm tagging @lookforanewangle, @beck-a-leck, @sciencemyfiction, @ghostlandtoo, and @microcomets! (hi claire!)

The scene you posted today made me think about the possibility of us getting a parallel of it in season 6 — then dancing together at Bailey and Nolan’s wedding.
And the way it probably wouldn’t be all that different 😂 maybe his hand placement might be lower on her back 😏 but they’d be just as smiley and flirting and happy
Ooooh imagine if they keep up the theme of them talking about her job/career and they have a more serious talk about UC or something 😩
You have no idea how hard I was trying not to think about that when I was rewatching the wedding scenes! I'm half expecting Bailey and Nolan's wedding to either be interrupted or just be a simple ceremony with two witnesses like they were implying at some point… But I'm honestly really hoping that there will be another scene with Lucy and Tim dancing together. The potential of parallels with this… I agree, it probably wouldn't be that different. I could totally see them exude the same happiness and carefree attitude they had at Nyla's wedding since they were already acting like a couple there… Then again, there's a chance that they would also take it up a notch in the intensity level now that they are together… Maybe another elevator eyes moment… Maybe even a kiss… The heart eyes and little touches even more out of control…
As for the other potential parallel - depending on when the wedding happens in the season, Tim and Lucy could address her possible promotion there. She's after all supposed to take the detective's exam at the beginning of s6 - unless she already did. So if the wedding takes place in the 100th episode, that also could be when she finds out her score. Or if the wedding is kept under wraps until later in the season, it could indeed be tied back to her undercover storyline, especially if she had to do another op right before. So many possibilities…

Hiiii not really a question, just wanted to say that I discovered your fics recently on Ao3 and they're all my absolute favourite since then, I'm always looking forward to receiving an email saying that you posted something!!! I just joined Tumblr today and I have no idea how it works ahah but I'm so glad I can follow you there now, because you truly are one of my fav fic writers. Your Buggy is always absolutely perfect and he did not help with my obsession over his character eheh. Anyway, thank you for your good work, and know that the way you write Buggy influences me a lot on how I perceive him and how he acts in my AU (not actually writing anything, just creating little world in my head eheh). Oh and also: it's thanks to you that I now ship Buggy with Mihawk and Crocodile! Since I've only seen the live action, I didn't really know enough about Mihawk and, obviously, nothing about Crocodile; but because of your fics I now ship them SO much. Thanks to you, Buggy has 3 boyfriends in my AU and he's very glad ahah. Anyway, it's a long message for nothing but I guess the most important thing here is: thank you, keep your amazing work <3
I'M ABOUT TO WRITE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS RESPONSE.
Hiiiiiiii bbyyy :((( Thank you for writing me something so nice! I really appreciate it!!! Nice comments and asks like these really make my day and i mean that!! Thank you!!! Tumblr is shit (derogatory) but it could be worse, it could be tw- Jk it's not that bad here and i think you'll like it :) Also ofc thank you for the follow :) Thank you for everything really! I could write an essay on Buggy alone but i won't...not today at least kljlsdjksdjlakjsdasdas. nobody asked but i'm obsessed with the idea of Buggy being a brat and or just a little shit in general which is why i often write him the way i do LMAO. He's a funny little guy, and i love him in the live action as much as i love him in the anime/manga but i think he could be a little more pathetic. i do remember seeing the trailer tho and being like "lol" but two seconds later being like..."Idk...WHY'S HE KINDA..." LMAOOOOO. i don't know if you write or draw but if you do, then you should cook something up. ((We support and encourage others in this household.)) also bestie. B E S T IE. Best friend. i ain't telling you how to live your life but if you have access to the Shounen Jump app wherever you live and you got 2.99 (some of us don't, no hate here.) and if you got some time, then i recommend you read a little story called one piece LMAOOOO. I ain't one of those people who will tell you it gets good in ch/ep 80938423984023984023948 lol. i've liked it since the beginning but thats ME. You ain't gotta read or watch all of that shit to know if something's good and if you like it lmao, or at least that's how i feel. anyways it seems like it takes 80 years to get through but that's really only bc of the pacing in the anime lol, it comes out weekly and ofc the animation studio wouldn't want to catch up with the actual manga sooooo they act a lil sily in terms of pacing LMAO. it's still that bitch in my opinion though, but that's my opinion and you can see that it has 1000+ episodes and be like ..."i aint watching all that shit." LMAO FAIR. IT'S GOOD THO. BOTH THE ANIME AND MANGA ARE GOOD!!! and they both have their pros and cons when it comes to consuming them. ANYWAYYYYYYS. yeah if you have like, time, 2.99, And the shounen jump app is available wherever you are (also u can go to like Viz's official website and your shounen jump subscription will carry through there too :) ) THEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE PIECE!!! (btw you can read 100 chs A DAY of op or they have other mangas too bby YEEEEEE) or if you have time then i also recommend watching the anime its... it's that bitch, i don't know. If you do end up liking it then netflix can help you take a nice bite out of the series, there's also like funimation/crunchyroll... or... *whispers* there are other...ways...to watch the anime....*whispers* ...are you a cop? LMAOOOOOO.
It's really good though with a whole bunch of lovable characters that the live-action doesn't even begin to be able to get into. you didn't ask, you didn't ask, but me personally, my favorite arc is Alabasta, which is the place they should be going to next season in the live action!! it also introduces one of my favorite little villains: Crocodile!!! idk i love it and i love him LOLLLL which i shouldn't bc he's...he's not a good man but i'm 26 i'm allowed to like toxic anime men, i've earned that right. (also you can like things and criticize them/acknowledge their flaws.) ANYWAYS, ANYWAYS, I'M RAMBLING, but yeah, it's good eating, and i highly suggest you get into the actual series if you liked the live action because the series itself is more in depth. Plus, P L U S, there's more Mihawk, Crocodile, and Buggy content AND THATS A WIN TO ME. lajsldajskdajsdlasjd. it's fun and as an added bonus there's a sense of community and you can always come back here and scream your thoughts to me (and everyone else) if you like it. Like i'm honored by your compliments but nothing i write could ever compare to the actual series itself LOLLLLL.
ANYWAYS THANKS SO MUCH!!!! ILYYYYY!!! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY, A GOOD WEEK, A GOOD YEAR!!!!!!!!!! MUAH!!!!!

febuwhump day 9: voice loss
episode: Brand X | tw: medical procedures | general audiences
He wakes up at 3:12pm, while she’s sat by his side.
“Scully.” It’s the most broken, pained sounding way she has ever heard him say her name, quiet and raw in his throat, but it makes her heart swell with relief.
“Hey.” She takes his hand and leans into his field of view. “Don’t try and talk, it’ll hurt too much.”
Mulder nods, agreeing for once without argument. The last time he was awake, he’d been in high spirits, or at least high enough spirits to make jokes to calm her nerves. Now, though, he’s exhausted, despite being unconscious for the best part of the last week. Slowly, his body has been recovering from hypoxia, the tobacco infusions, and the two further rounds of deep suction to rid his lungs of the remaining tobacco beetle larvae.
He’s been asleep for all of it, and this time she hadn’t been able to give him any warning. Before any surgery, she’s his source of information, the only one he trusts to tell him the truth. In the pre-op room, before the first suction procedure, he’d asked her if he’d feel any of it, and how long it would take before he’d wake up. She’d resisted the thoracic surgery partly because she knew he wouldn’t survive it, yes, but also because she knew he’d want to know beforehand. He’d want the chance to say goodbye.
Right now, his eyes find hers, asking questions and seeking answers. Four days ago, he flatlined on the operating table when the doctors first injected him with nicotine, and Scully had wondered what she’d do if she never got to see his eyes again.
“It’s been a rough few days.” Her voice cracks, and she swallows past the lump in her throat. “But you’re okay now.”
He flicks his eyes to the machines around him; she knows what he’s asking. This is their routine, whenever he wakes up in hospital: he asks what everything is, and she gives him a summary of each machine, what they’re all doing to keep him alive.
“You’ve got BP being taken every few hours. Heart rate, temperature and blood oxygen are being monitored round the clock, and you’re being given fluids and nutrients through a feeding tube into your stomach.”
She points to the thick tube running from his neck. “You’re still hooked up to the ECMO, as a precaution, but it’s not been oxygenating you since last night – since your O2 levels are good, they think your lungs are doing okay, so they’ll be disconnecting it in the next few hours.”
Mulder’s forehead creases in concern.
“They’ll put you under sedation for that, but it’s a relatively minor procedure. No risks.” That’s a lie – there’s always risks, no matter how minor the surgery – but she doesn’t want to scare him. He’s pulled through the last few days – she’ll be damned if he doesn’t make it through a simple cannula removal.
“Your throat and lungs are still recovering. They’re damaged, but they’ll heal, you just need to rest your voice for now.”
He nods again. She isn’t used to him being this acquiescent – it unnerves her.
“Mulder?”
The hand that’s not in hers moves into an okay signal, and he moves his wrist in an up-and-down motion. He wants to write.
“I’ll get you a pen.”
A few minutes later, she holds a notebook as he moves his hand slowly along the page. He hums to tell her he’s finished, and she glances down.
There, black ink spells out I love you. He looks up at her, still exhausted, but eyes shining with life and love, and Scully presses a kiss to his lips as she finally lets herself cry.

Wifey and I are having the "how does my diet need to change post-organ removal" and the thing that keeps being reinforced is that I already did not rely on these foods in any routine capacity? Like sure, I would have them a couple of times a month as treats or easy meals, but for the most part these changes aren't big (other than the fact that during early post-op I'm very much liquid diet only). So I'm stuck with this frustrating sense of not knowing why this happened in the first place. I feel like there is still more to this medical experience, and I'm just so tired because the first week of it has been rather a nightmare.
Anyway, we're also considering prioritizing some of the mobility updates the house was always gonna need. Even if we don't get to it in time for the end of this episode, it seems inevitable that there will be other surgeries, other times when my body goes out of commission. Better for the house to have what it needs sooner than later. I might look into some architectural designs for custom mobility pieces that could serve my needs while also vibing with the aesthetic of the house that we've been trying to cultivate. Wifey's been doing more and more building, and if we're going to do it, I think we should it right the first time.
I do still want my garden boxes too, but maybe we prioritize certain things to grow in them and just start with prefabs for now so we can get them in the ground quick and start growing the veggies we'll need. It'll be a good way to get me moving again once I'm healed up too, which'll be nice.
I think there *are* some changes I need to start committing to, but I think they're less about this particular thing and more about other stuff I worry may be related to it.
I've been so tired today. I'm still in a lot of pain, but it does feel like I'm "patching up" so to speak. I have to get up and move every hour, day and night, which is exhausting given my pain. Especially since I'm still not able to really activate my core myscles at all.
