#OTP: Ever Wonder Why We're Here

Espilver? :>
Tumblr media
You're here to ask me the most obvious ones 😭 alright then I'll answer in the most unexpected way ever!
They are my OTP: literally saw them first-hand in game and firmly believed they have chemistry since then. Not influenced by fanart at all bc there was none.
But I don't really dare say they're the best of the OTPs...? Genuinely I think some other pairs (Sonuckles/Knuxouge etc.) has more chemistry and an easier time to figure out how they work.
Espio and Silver supposedly live in different timelines, and Espio didn't even appear in games that often. Their chances of seeing each other is far lower than a lot of others;
They're not as sociable as Sonic or Amy, or any other talkative characters. They can't just meet each other on a whim. We have to think of a valid reason for them to meet in fanfics, with Silver's persistence on his time travel mission and Espio's ninja detective work in mind;
They're kinda too nice with each other, the enemies to lovers troupe wouldn't really fit in their current canon situation, neither does having major rivalries, conflicts, or any kind of tension. Obviously they can still have those, it's just harder to imagine them in these roles compared to others imo.
Ofc, they're still my obvious best of OTP in my brain, but if we're discussing the variety of them being a pair, then they're not higher than other ships.
CUTENESS OVERLOAD: That is true bc I literally ship them as OTP. But actually, I ship them in the angsty way first, did not imagine them with a happy ending due to their roles and burdens. Drew Silver dying in Espio's hands back in 2016, definitely not wholesome & cute haha
Overrated AND underrated at the same time? : Now this is a handful... I didn't imagine Espilver to be a well known ship at all, and certainly did not anticipate ppl actually shipping them even now. As to why this ship got popular, I couldn't help but think it was related with ppl wanting to support unpopular ships as an ally, moreso than actually liking the ship? Ofc, it's definitely not me who can decide what ppl ship them for, I wouldn't care that much as long as the ship gets more love! Actually I do care but I don't wanna gatekeep ppl for being not genuine and I don't wanna know if I'm actually wrong on that so by not dwelling on that I avoided the problems and consequences that might bring to me including those I do not forsee
Still, Espio and Silver, as I've told before, probably don't have as much chemistry to other ppl due to not being in more games tgt. Their compatibility basically flies over ppl's minds and it's unfortunate! So, Espilver is definitely underrated as ppl still hasn't yet be presented to the wonderful comfort and beauty this ship brings 💖
In conclusion, overrated enough to have IDW make a comic about them, since ppl would love it; also underrated enough to have IDW make a comic about them, since so few ppl know them enough to feel repulsed with their interactions.
I WOULD DIE FOR IT OKAY: No one's allowed to talk shit about Espilver/Silvespio except me✨

the queen herself, victoria (character ask)
Oh, the most wonderful girl thank you!!
Why I like them
Her solos are some of the most mesmerizing parts of the show for me, and I would love to see them live. There's just this softness and grace about her that's very comforting.
Why I don’t
The entire 2019 Mr. Mistoffelees number was unbearably cringy for me as much as I like the film but particularly when she started singing. It was giving disney zombies....
Favorite episode (scene if movie)
I have three.
One of my first favorite scene is actually from Warsaw where she's dancing with the stars. It really goes back to her connection to the moon that nobody else seems to have.
Tumblr media
Alternatively, I love this scene where Jemima wants to approach Grizabella and brings Victoria along with her, and Victoria hesitantly looks back but decides to go along with Jem. They both scatter off when Jenny forbids them from touching Grizabella but I love how it nods back to how they're two half's of a hole.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And of course, one of the softest parts in the show for me and in my opinion one of Victoria's best moments.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Favorite season/movie
I Like Victoria in all versions of cats' media!! even when she's less prominent like in shiki. But for favorites I'll say standard version, 2019 film and broadway revival.
Favorite line
We're doing 2019 for this since Victoria doesn't have any solo lines.
"But at least you have beautiful ghosts."
I know a lot of people don't like this song and the criticisms for it and Victoria's character are fair, but I do think this sort of naive condescend-Iness works as a flaw for her. She doesn't mean harm, she want's to cheer up Grizabella and show that they're similar but ends up making Grizabella still feel isolated just like the jellicles.
Favorite outfit
I've grown to like the white / gold Victoria costume quite a bit but here's some designs I'm fond of:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OTP
Ah, ok so I've been convinced a little but don't be mad please. 2019 verse and standard stage verse is with Rumpleteazer but revival verse is with Plato. I don't why or how that happened either but yea I hope that makes sense.
Brotp
Mistoffelees recently, but mostly with Jemima. Again, two halves of a whole.
Head Canon
She worries a lot about injuries since she's aware about how delicate bones are and how a significant injury could hinder her dancing. So, she tends to watch her surroundings and positing more carefully than others.
Unpopular opinion
Hypothetically, I wouldn't mind if more non-reps went the warsaw/shiki route and didn't have Vitoria do a pas de deux but instead had a different solo involving the stars/moon.
A wish
More non-replica's to go all out with her design. Really emphasize the ballerina part of her look.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen
probably losing her connection to the Jellicle moon, if she can't feel it at all she'll probably panic and assume something's wrong. If you want to look at it from a monochromatic sibling's angle, then she would've lost the one thing that made her "special" in comparison to her brother.
6 words to best describe them
HER WORDS they're perfect
Innocent, Romantic, Unselfconscious, Young, Inhibited, Inquisitive
My nickname for them
Again, I don't use character nicknames. But Vic<3

Okay, I've been meaning to do this post for a while - you know how sometimes you're listening to a song, totally innocent and unrelated, and all of a sudden WHAM it hits you that this song (the lyrics OMG the LYRICS) are just So Your Blorbo/OTP?
Yeah, that.
Anyway, may I present:
Moonraker
(arguably one of my most favorite Bond songs)
Here are the lyrics in their entirety:
Where are you Why do you hide Where is that moonlight trail that leads to your side Just like the moonraker goes In search of his dream of gold I search for love For someone to have and hold I've seen your smile In a thousand dreams Felt your touch And it always seems You love me You love me
Where are you When will we meet Take my unfinished life and make it complete Just like the moonraker knows His dream will come true someday I know that you Are only a kiss away I've seen your smile In a thousand dreams Felt your touch And it always seems You love me You love me
And now let's get to what hit me about this song and Helena Wells:
Helena explains her time machine and how it works with, among other things, with this:
I'd become intrigued by the idea of Gestalt, the collective unconscious. What if one were able to connect with the mind of someone who lived centuries ago?
We also know that she was conscious while in the Bronze - and I've always wondered: what if her unattached consciousness were able to join the collective unconscious through there? (which in and of itself is a different essay)
And then when I heard "I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams", it hit me: what if she saw glimpses of Myka, while in the Bronze? What if, among the millions of minds she touched only ever just once, there was this one mind, this one person, that her consciousness kept coming back to. Because "it always seemed you loved me". And oh, how starved Helena is for love. Imagine seeing glimpses of Myka's smile, again and again, and feeling like the owner of that smile loves you, loves you, loves you-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then you get unbronzed and maybe, among the million things you need to do... maybe you search, with half an eye, every now and then, when the opportunity presents itself, because heaven forbid you devote important time on that but oh how you dream of love-
And then you tell yourself it doesn't matter, it's just a pipe dream, you are not made for love, you are made for oblivion, yours and that of the entire human race-
And then you run into her and realize you're on opposite sides.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I know this second GIF has text that isn't the actual subtitles from the show but OH MY GOD is it ever accurate, Jo bless you Jo!)
And you try. Oh how you try, tro wrestle your life away from the tracks you yourself have set it on, to stop hurtling towards oblivion and start turning towards that smile, that touch, that love. And you have read enough tragedies to know that it is impossible, you know that ink with which you have mapped out your plan is indelible, but you try-
Tumblr media
you try
Tumblr media
you try
Tumblr media
you try
Tumblr media
Now. The only part of the lyrics I have beef with is that concept of someone else completing you - but! Hear me out: Sometimes, someone comes into your life and- doesn't complete you, no, but offers you an insight into yourself that makes a lot of things suddenly make sense.
The italicized "oh."
And while the song started out to be a Helena Wells song, suddenly we're in Myka's head: the head of someone who, faced with the fact that H.G. Wells is a woman (nice catch there, agent), that she is this woman, who faced with all this starts processing, starts realizing, starts making connections between new input and old memories, and oh.
Oh.
So let's say Myka has had dreams too - just snatches, glimpses, a smile here, a touch there, the elation of two like minds connecting, the heady rush of being lifted to the sky, none of them remembered in the morning - but oh how they come charging in now, now that she is faced with H.G.-Wells-is-actually-a-woman.
Tumblr media
But Agent Myka Bering is not one to trust her dreams - hell no. Facts only, please, hard, observable, ideally peer-reviewed facts- but here is this woman, is H.G. Wells, this woman out of her time, this smile she's seen in a thousand impossible dreams, this touch she's felt that always seems so-
Facts.
Facts only, please.
But maybe, just mabye, among the million things she needs to do, maybe she can make time for the owner of that smile, maybe she can indulge in the thought that the purveyor of that touch isn't all evil, maybe there is a dream that might come true someday-
And she tries.
Tumblr media
She tries.
Tumblr media
She tries.
Tumblr media
She tries.
Tumblr media
(thank you to all the GIF makers. You are seriously amazing. There was a GIF, sometimes multiples, for every single scene that I wanted, and I stand in awe of your talents. GIFs in this post by: lonely-night kiraslight aflawedfashion maiagaru finehs and taikoturtle
THANK YOU.)

Detour
Tumblr media
Late to the party but it was my largest fic so I plead innocent! Lol sorry, anyway I was but stuck on this entry cuz I had zero ideas until it hit me that the Ulquihime/Wavewave AU could work for this. Having both otps interacting its so fun I might do it yearly like the Reunion AU. Hope you all like!
*Fic is set after A Different Reality & A Blissfull Vacation both from the same AU.
@ulquihimeweek
Ulquihime Week Day 3- Wasteland
Detour
They'd done the process so many times Ulquiorra knew something was wrong when he woke.
This time the universe hopping felt heavy as if their entire body struggled to function. Whereas other times felt as if they blinked and were suddenly reunited with their friends.
"Aw, My head. This trip was rough."
Ulquiorra took a step back when he heard his wife's voice come out of someone else's body.
Orihime no longer looked human, but rather she was an orange Cybertronian. Her eyes were still silver and her hairpins had become pieces attached to her new head.
"Ulquiorra?! What happened to you?!"
He touched his own face to feel it was also now made of metal. His body too was green and black and made of metal, he felt as if he had wings again but they were different from those of his resurrection.
"This can't be...We...We've become Cybertronian."
Orihime looked to the side and her silver eyes turned wide. "Maybe that's for the best. Otherwise we wouldn't survive here."
He looked back to see a glimmering glowing gigantic city. It looked exactly like what Soundwave described.
"We're on Cybertron..." Ulquiorra whispered.
"But how?! Does this mean the war is over? Is that why we're here?!"
"I don't know. Either the war ended or it has yet to start. Otherwise the planet would be the wasteland Shockwave studied back on Earth..."
A beeping sound startled them both. It seemed that even in this new form, Urahara could still contact them.
"Ah, hello hello! I see the machine has changed you. That wasn't supposed to happen."
"Kisuke-San! Not only do we look like this, but I think we jumped in time! What are we going to do?"
"No need to panic Inoue-San, You just need to find Shockwave. He'll be able to bring you back in no time. I shall take care of the twins until you return."
"Then we must go to the city. Hopefully we shall see you soon." Ulquiorra told him.
Orihime held our her hand and he took it. Be it metal or skin, he would always feel bliss upon being touched by his dear wife.
***
Despite her worries, Orihime couldn't deny she was utterly fascinated by technically being in an alien planet.
The mechanical sounds that could've been deafening otherwise, the ungodly amount of flying machines that she now knew were literally alive flying through the sky instead of walking, and the absence of humans, flora and fauna were so different from Earth that she couldn't help but want to take it all in.
"I see Astronout Inoue is enjoying this." Ulquiorra smiled when he saw her giddy expression.
"Yes! I never thought I would ever explore an alien planet or that it would look like this. I'm wondering if you and I could transform too! Do we even know how?"
"Considering you have wheels on your back I'm guessing you'd have vehicle mode."
"You bave wings, then that means you're a flyer."
"From my physique alone I suppose I'm a seeker."
"Like Starscream?"
"Don't ruin it, dear."
She laughed at her husband's comment. Though she knew he was fascinated by all of this too.
They finally managed to find a city map, but sadly it was in Cybertonian. Orihime remembered a few words, courtesy of Soundwave's lessons. She identified the word Prime in one of the info squares, but given she couldn't read the name before it they were still unsure as to what time period this was.
"If Optimus is the Prime this is either during the war or after our friends lost it. If it's Sentinel is before and if it's neither the war might be over and won by out friends."
"I can't say for sure, but I think the first letter of the name would be an 'S'"
Their suspicions were confirmed as they saw a familiar purple vehicle speed by them, while being pursued by a police car.
"Prowl and Biteback?" He asked.
Orihime nodded. "That means this is before the war began. We should look for Shockwave in his academy."
"Despite not sharing the keen interest you both have in science I've always wanted to see the Jhiaxian Academy of Advance Technology."
"I think we're influencing you then."
He chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Indeed you have."
She thought the walk there would be easy, after all things, were supposedly peaceful. But just as Soundwave often said that peace masked some ill intentions, they were just tucked away well for a while.
"We've only been walking for two blocks yet I've seen sentinels all over."
"Yes. I'll admit I didn't expect so much hyper vigilance."
Ulquiorra pulled her close by wrapping an arm around her waist. Orihime leaned into his touch as they finally arrived at their destination.
"Think this is the right place?" She asked.
"You won't get away with this you glitch!"
She recognized that voice, although now it sounded far more playful even young. 'Stormsurge?!'
Her old bot friend looked the same, save for the heaviness he and all of the others carried during the war. She almost didn't recognize who he chased out of the Academy until she glanced at his red eyes and purple paint. 'Is that...Tarn?! Stormy was right he did look nerdy.' She stiffled a laugh as she saw the old rivals fighting in their youth.
Even more familiar faces were there for her to see when she glanced at the academy door. Thundercracker and Skywarp were there making bets on who would win this match.
"My money's on Stormy."
"Nah Damus is getting this one."
"My guess it's all of you will go back inside and cease the nonsense!"
Another bot arrived and while Orihime didn't recognize his face she knew that shade of violet all too well.
"Now come on, away with you! If you keep fighting like that I'll have you clean Weeljack's lab."
All of the other bots scurried back inside but the purple stranger noticed them. "Hello, may I help you?"
"We're looking for Senator Shockwave." Orihime tried to keep her tone calm, still she felt herself grow tense as she hoped she'd be given a different answer from the one she expected.
"Ah well you just found him. What can I do for you?"
She froze. This wasn't the Shockwave she knew. He still had his face and both pretty golden eyes. His smile was bright and sweet just as Soundwave had described him before he was tortured. Orihime wanted to warn him, but before she could Ulquiorra spoke.
"We have a request, but I think we have to explain ourselves first. This might take a while."
***
When it came to their robotic friends he usually got along best with Shockwave and Orihime with Soundwave. This version of Shockwave however, he was so similar to her that he could've sworn they were siblings.
Knowing this made it all the more difficult to process that the bot would end up just like he was during his centuries at Hueco Mundo.
"Organics traveling from a future alternate universe to our own, it's simply brilliant! Oh I would love to see how you look in your original form but anything organic would simply perish under this planet's atmosphere."
"It would be due to the radiation or simply the size diffrence?"
"Both could be factors...Oh sorry you were here for assistance and I've been talking non-stop, I'm just very excited."
"No problem. It's good to see you like this..."
He heard the sadness in Orihime's voice as she commented. Thankfully their purple friend was too prepcupied with finding the tools he needed to assist them.
"There. I think I can send ya back home swiftly. We'd have to go to my house however, as that lab more equipped to deal with high magnitude projects."
"Then if you allow us we'll be happy to accompany you home. Truth to be told were both enjoying this visit. Seeing things it's not the same as experiencing them."
"Is that so? Well then, I'll give you a tour as we reach the mansion!"
That seemed to lift their spirits in a small way. The walk back to the house seemed short but they stopped often to gaze at whatever place Soundwave had told them about on their previous meetings.
The library, the hospital and even the plaza were all there exactly as described by Soundwave on earth. Their friend really knew how to set ambiance.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Orihime be seen gasping at the look of it all. "It's so pretty! Ulqui, dosent it look like Las Noches?"
"The arquitecture is different but yes the color and feel are similar. Shockwave I say you and my old boss have the same taste in decor."
"Well thank you, glad to hear you find it familiar."
"Shocky? Is that you?"
Again they both froze upon hearing the younger softer voice of another dear friend. Unlike Shockwave, Soundwave was completely unchanged. His paint, look and optics were all the same, save for the fact he wasn't wearing a Decepticon insignia.
'Because it hadn't happened yet.' He thought.
"Yes Soundy it's me! I brought some friends over who require my help. Are Sunny and Cade around?"
"Unfortunately no, they're out with the cassettes, but I'll lend you a hand."
"Well you two, let's work to get you back."
***
"Those two really like to chat no matter the circumstances. " Orihime mused out loud.
Ulquiorra and Soundwave were chatting away while she and Shockwave kept on organizing the machinery. She managed to hear a little bit of their conversation.
"You're the one who pushed me to confess. It's thanks to you we're conjuxed in the future so please do remember to encourage me when I'm back in my squishy form." Ulquiorra told him.
Soundwave laughed and gave a thumbs up. "I'll do my best."
"I take it we're all close once we meet again?" Shockwave asked, noticing her smile as she stared at them.
"Yeah, we are close."
The feeling of closeness was not diminished by the change in circumstances. If anything she was overjoyed to finally see Shockwave like this. So calm and happy, and with his body and face unmarred by scars that would last milenia.
The pretty technological planet had been a delight to visit, but she differed with their blue mech friend when he said it turned into a wasteland during the war. 'Any planet that does something so callous to a bot like Shockwave is a wasteland regardless of beauty. I'm just glad things didn't come to that in the Soul Society.'
"Hime?"
"Sorry I was just...thinking. Shockwave there's something I should warn you about your future."
The purple bot raised his hand to stop her.
"Don't. Anything you tell us might affect the future and put you and Ulquiorra in danger. I won't allow that.
Whatever has to happen. Let it happen. I know well what we're all getting into with this conflict."
She hugged him tightly. "Just let me say, that you'll be okay reagerdless. He'll never stop loving you, and the same goes for you to him."
"Then that's all I needed to know."
***
Hugs were exchanged as Shockwave quickly sent them back home. In the blink of an eye they were back in Karakura.
"Good to see you both. Had to ask some babysitters for help with the twins."
Ulquiorra smiled upon seeing Shockwave and Soundwave in their human forms, carrying Kokoro and Sora.
"Took you five million years to get back. I used to wonder when we first found you why you looked like those cute bots we met back home. Now I know why." Soundwave laughed. "Should've stayed a seeker and replaced Starscream."
Ulquiorra smiled and took his daughters back. He then glaced at his smiling wife. "I appreciate it, but I think I'm much happier here as an organic."
"Good choice. This seems prefera-" Shockwave was cut off by Orihime tackling him into a hug. Even in human form he did have his trademark blank expression. "Inoue, you'll hurt yourself if you keep glomping people like that."
"It's just good to see you again...I'm glad you're still here."
"I told you. I would be fine as long I had him with me. You feel the same, don't you?"
"Always."

the bug from dhmis 3 the one with the cult
okay you know what's funny i initially thought you meant warren from the tv show and i spent like five minutes replying to this ask before i realized you meant shrignold. i'm on the right track now though we stay silly <3
sexuality headcanon: i don't know actually! this is just a wild guess but aro maybe. i'm not sure about anything further
otp: i know i just said he was aro but the warren/shrignold ship is really funny. love loses forever
brotp: iiiii... don't know. lol. i don't think he really has. friends. cults don't make for great friendships. he's surface-level close with everyone in the cult but no actual friends
notp: him and. anyone. except warren. because again that is funny
first headcanon that pops into my head: hmmm. uhhhh he started the cult fully just for his own gain but over time he got addicted to the "love" his subjects showed him and now he's kind of become a self-fulfilling prophecy
favorite line: i'm not sure.. he's never really been a character i think about that much. i really like the opening to his song! have you ever wondered why we're here what's it all about you've no idea and everywhere you look all you see is hatred... and darkness death and fear etc etc
one way in which i relate to him: i don't really. i'm too mentally stable for that <3 (lying)
thing that gives me secondhand embarrassment about him: god. the infamous heteronormativity line is always annoying ("he's made for her! / and she's made for him! / that's the way it's always been!")
cinnamon roll or problematic fave: i barely think about this guy. he barely crosses my mind

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan (pls) (for the ask thing i mean asdfghjkl;)
lmao ty - lemme do this a sec
1: sexuality headcanon
The boy is bi. Don't ask me how I feel it with such certainty, but I feel it. Also not sexuality, but potentially enby and I feel that in my soul.
2: otp
If I were to put him romantically with someone, I guess Kyle? Those two have a bond that is too adorable however you cut it. I've always had a soft spot for close male friendships in stories goofy or serious, it seems (Egg moment? Egg moment...you don't exactly get that in life when you look like a girl lmao)
3: brotp
Besides Kyle, I'm hoping we'll see more of him and Tolkien hanging out fr. Honestly, I think it would be too niche for an episode but like imagine those two getting Kyle into Warhammer. It would be funny.
4: notp
Sorry, but Wendy can do better. Like maybe they could be friends, and I'm never gonna object to art of the two of them but she really shouldn't stay with him lmao. She's 10 but like...surely even she knows the truth here lmao
5: first headcanon that pops into my head
You know what? He's going to be the second character ever that I claim eats peanut butter with a spoon directly from the jar. That headcanon is so specific and pointless that it's funny. The other one with that honor is one I used to RP from another show back when that was airing (and if you ask certain family members is literally me - someone I know might be reading knows who, but I'll leave the rest of you to guess). In Stan's case, I like to think that Shelley is very vocal about how much it pisses her off and wonders why he can't just make a sandwich lmao.
My other bitter headcanon is the feeling that Matt and Trey are going to keep his family on Tegridy for as long as possible because it's funny to them (both in terms of writing and fan reaction), but honestly kinda breaks my heart that he lives so far from the other three little guys right now.
6: favorite line from this character
Another time where I legitimately cannot think of a single line (but instead many), so I'm just going to embed this because honestly everyone kind of slayed in this scene and I guess technically it's an answer:
youtube
7: one way in which I relate to this character
I was about to say I'd probably have an easier time listing ways I could relate him to other people in my life - there's a couple of people I could think a lot more than myself for - but then realized there are multiple non-bad-but-just-embarrassing things I would decline to state here lmao. The joys of having a character be one of the "normal" ones, I suppose.
That being said, we're both depressed af and 10 years old was a time and a half for me mentally; so I guess that. Finishing YGO/Assburgers both made me like him as a character more and had me staring into silence for like five minutes contemplating my life on an existential level for many reasons lmao
Also growing up, I was known for liking animals and didn't want any to suffer without cause. In my case, I got super obsessed with the RSPCA and I would get called brave by girls at school at the tender age of 8 for touching worms to rescue them from drowning in pavement puddles. idk why this was considered brave, as I was in no way scared to touch worms. Lately it's been making me think that I'd like to get a pet snail again, or at least go outside a bit more again since I've always regretted feeling like I couldn't after I lost a lot of hope in my life.
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
I often say he sometimes needs a hug, but sometimes needs someone to absolutely slap him because he can pull some serious dick moves that make me die a little inside. I feel like if someone were to compare me to him, some of the times where I think he deserved someone slapping him would be the reason somehow and I would be offended but understand lmao
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
He's a little problematic, like all of us lmao

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Season 2
Ep 10 - What's My Line (Part 2)

Gonna say, no matter how cringey, Drusilla's acting is damn God.
I love dorky Willow.
We are gonna meet OZ again now are we ?
Lmao Giles found his match.
Buffy, you can never have normal life.
Xander and Cordelia are gonna kiss now aren't they...
I love when they fight, the tension, the build up. The sex is gonna be absolutely epic.
Yesssssss OZ!!!
Willow: "Your hair is brown", Oz: "Yeah.. Sometimes". LMAOOO I love them so much.
Also, who says the first thing that your hair is brown, only our willow.
Oz is my spirit animal, "I am not work kind of person or any kind". I get you.

"but nobody messes with my boyfriend ", Damn buffy. See this is what I am talking about. The superior ship.
No offense or anything but Angel deserves whatever Drusilla is/will do to him for what he did to her.
Now they are flirting instead of fighting, how long before they fuck.
Angel stop riling them up.
Angel is bragging too much, bro spike is gonna fuck buffy so calm down buddy.
Is Angel gonna die or like die but not really? Like maybe they will complete the ritual and angel will lose his soul.
Buffy really is a would.
I kinda want the Drusilla to wake up again. I want them to complete the ritual.
Why is spike is funny and Kendra hot.
I love when women fight.
DAMN BUFFY.
Yesss Kendra kill them for ruining your fav shirt. Priorities.
Did they complete the ritual?.
Why am I disappointed that they saved the angel?
OH HEY, OZ.
I love when their interaction so much.
"You have the sweetest the smile I've ever seen" OZ MY GUY😭😭😭😭😭
Their interactions oh my God 💕💕😭
Xander and Cordelia are back at it again.
X: "It never happened", C: "Good", X: "Good"; they kisses again. Good going.
I hope we see Kendra again.
Drusilla is alive against isn't she... YESSSS!!!
YESS and carrying spike like a badass.
Alright, I loved this episode, especially the second half. The first half was a little slow and I was wondering if it would be able to match up to the last episode and alas it did.
The two hot women fighting bad guys, what more can you ask for. The ultimate dream. Angel, angel, angel, you deserve whatever Drusilla does/do to you. You've literally ruined everything for her, I am sorry but I am on her side. I mean buffy saved you because she loves you but like you would've deserved to die by her hands.
Oh my Drusilla is alive again. Lmao I am really excited for that. Like, if we're gonna support morally grey guys then were supporting woman turned villain too. It's fair. So yeah this is "I support Drusilla in whatever she will do to Angel" Club.
So they saved angel in the end, which was nice, kendra is gone now, hopefully I'll see her again.
Now, my Babies, my OTP Oz and Willow, bitch we finally have them, they're interacting, they're talking, they're laughing, they're becoming friends, yess bitch, I am here for it. Their interactions *Kill me*, they're so nerdy and so cute, soulmate type shit. I know how they end up which is bittersweet and I am gonna cry eventually but you know what i will live in denial and in my head they end up married. Thank you.
I guess, that's it, I am really excited for Drusilla.
See ya in next one, cheers 🥂.

What OTPs in your fandoms do you just not get? 🖤
Salty ask list.
Most of them, if we're honest.
I mean...okay, there are some that I don't get because they hit tropes I don't like. But if you like those tropes or dynamics or want this specific thing for one of the characters, I'd understand why you'd like that ship. (Like J*ime/Br*enne. Not for me, but I understand the theoretical appeal for people who are not me.)
But there are many where my feelings are, "Even if you like this trope/dynamic, I don't understand what any person could possibly get out of this." The answer to this question is for ships that fall under this category.
(NOTE: THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I IN ANY WAY JUDGE OR HATE PEOPLE WHO DO LIKE THESE SHIPS. THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT FOR ME. I AM HAPPY FOR YOU IF YOU SEE SOMETHING I DON'T.)
Some of them are probably obvious. Raúl/Sofía from CtrlZ (which I've DEFINITELY already talked about at length), Ch*ck/Bl*ir (HE SOLD HER!! LITERALLY!!!! THERE IS NO COMING BACK FROM THAT!!!!!!!!!!!), R*ylo (if you wanted a "moral conflict from hero/villain tension, DarkShip" kind of thing, the movies didn't deliver on that because they tried to woobify him, but if you wanted fully woobified Kenneth, they didn't bother to make him likeable, so I genuinely personally don't understand how anyone could be in any way satisfied with anything that happened regarding this ship). I was never into T*n/R*se (but that's just because I didn't really care about either of these characters, and also look at what happened to the love of my life Martha as a result of it). I also am not into that era's dr/m.aster pairing for the same reason of "not really caring about the characters." j0ner*s I think had potential, but I felt like the entire development of their relationship was extremely rushed (he was her prisoner for most of it, and they were fighting for like all of season 7 and then suddenly he's like, "Oh you are EVERYTHING to me" and I was like, "dude, how." I was actually excited to see this one play out because of the differences in how they both viewed power and what J's more simple, present-oriented wants were, versus D's broader, more ambitious, future-oriented goals, as well as the fallout of their being related and how that would compare to the way everyone in-universe treated J/C, but then they just...didn't explore...any of that...at all.......)
But I think, honestly the biggest one is probably Th*smin. Like...aside from people just wanting 13 to date a woman, I cannot find any reason why someone would ship this at all. (I will henceforth refer to the "Th" part of the ship as "Th" and the other half as "Y.")
I'm going to put the rest of this under a cut because apparently I have more Things to Say™ about this than I initially thought I did. Also spoilers for the latest episode of the show in question. I won't tag them because if I do it will end up in the show tag, and some shipper will actually kill me for saying this, oh God, this is how I die isn't it, try to get Lea Salonga to sing at my funeral.
Again, this is ONLY MY OPINION, and I harbor no ill will toward anyone who likes this ship, nor do I think they're a bad person or something because that's really stupid.
Like...Oh, God, I'm going to get shot for saying this aren't I. I just don't think...their relationship is...built?? On anything???? I get Y's crush, because yeah, sometimes if you're a Super Cool Smart Wacky Alien Who Intimidates People and Shows People the Wonders of the Universe, someone is going to develop a crush on you. And I think the development of that was set up really well. But the alien in question?? She has NEVER indicated any type of romantic interest in anyone. And all of a sudden it's, "I wish we could be here forever" and "If I were to ever Settle Down™, it'd be with you" (which...girl...you did settle down...twice...once with your wife on Darillium and once watching over The Vault......like..... what..........???). She has never shared anything personal with Y and has never interacted in any way with her that was different to how she interacted with anyone else, up until this last episode. Most of Y's growth has been done apart from her supposed love interest. What is this relationship even based on???? Even people who do ship this in earnest, how could they possibly be happy with what they've gotten???????
I just...I think ultimately the thing that Bugs Me™ is that Y just doesn't...feel like a fully complete character sometimes to me. Everyone in the show keeps talking about how she's "One of the best people" and don't get me wrong, I do like her! But she's nice and competent and gets along with people, and lots of characters on this show are nice and competent and get along with people? I don't understand why she's so Special™. And that wouldn't usually be that much of a problem for me, but that Special™ness is cited as the reason why Th likes her. And then they expect me to believe that this alien lady, who has never been able to open up, discuss her emotions, or handle anything with any degree of maturity, who is practically allergic to emotional honesty, is all of a sudden willing to take the initiative, with pretty much no angst at all, to talk about her romantic relationship with a person she is full-time travelling with and thus would be extra interested in preserving the status quo with? (Presumably because, again. This character is The Most Special™. So things are Different™ in this case.)
And don't even get me started on how she clarified that statement of "one of the best people" with "even my wife." Like if you're just going to try to elevate the New Love Interest to be So Much More Important and Special and Better than the old one, I'd rather you not mention River at all. Yeah, yeah, that's probably not what Chris meant but it sure read that way on paper to me as an audience member.
I just cannot see this erratic, emotionally troubled alien who Struggles To Be Good, who is constantly going through an identity crisis, who is first and foremost a mess ever romantically bonding with someone who isn't also at least a little messy. And that's the thing. Y isn't messy. Not even a little bit. Even when they had an opportunity to introduce mess with the Mental Illness Implied Depression episode, they did nothing with it.
There's...there's not actually anything unlikable about Y at all. And so not only do these two characters seem incompatible to me, I find it very hard to be invested in Y sometimes. (See previous answer about how characters being ideal or hyper-capable will never be resonant or escapist to me.)
And I guess just (haha, getting personal, I'm so sorry I know that absolutely no one signed up for this)...why is it never people like me who get to Fall In Mutual Love With The Wacky Smart Charismatic Space Alien? Why do the people who get the Exciting Love Interests or who are seen as Desirable™ and Special™ always have to be the thin, pretty, "normal" ones under 35 who don't ever fuck up? Why do the messy characters or characters with emotional/personal issues of who have to take awhile to figure shit out never get to be happy or fall in love (if they even get written at all)? Even if a character with mental illness does get to have any of that, it's always in one context: the symptoms are crying prettily and it's not shown affecting their life in any significant way after the piece of media establishes that they have it. (Which uh, surprise surprise, is what happened here.) It's like, "Oh, mentally ill people can have Love and Happiness and Respect and Cool Story Things, but only if they come as close to resembling a neurotypical person as possible." You can't exhibit any of the ugly parts of mental illness (or really of just...being a human, really, it doesn't even have to be if you're mentally ill), because otherwise you're Not Worthy of [insert whatever happy ending trope here]. Everything women have to do to be Worthy of Love has to be Soft and Pretty and Personable and Universally Likable, and I've just seen that story too many times for it to interest me in any way anymore.
Like...Idk. There's nothing here of substance to me, and it also happens to hit basically every single trope that annoys me, so I'm just -_-

#27
I took.. a lot. the night before all this went down i had already taken 700 but i topped that off with a 600 yesterday morning. I think I woke up at like 4 am-ish something annnd took pills at about 5ish. Tho yesterday I ALSO did 1.6k at 2. So i think for the day I took 2.2k. unless we're also counting the late night one from the day before. Though this'll probably be first and last I take a lot at once like that. I'm still feeling it 20 hours later
(wrote this late august 27th but didn't wanna proofread til now so keep that in mind when I mention days)
AFTERMATH
The first two doses were casualish to me. I used to go 600 at max but nowadays it ain't uncommon for me to do 850-1k. I was mostly the same so no one noticed. They never do tbh. 1.6 is the highest I've ever gone and I was still able to play it off.
As far as symptoms. I've kinda lost my appetite. I'm sure it'll be all back once my body's had the chance to get all the dph out my system but for now I don't really eat. Tho I'm blubbery soo it works out ig. That plus I get random sharp pains in my heart + in my stomach every once in a while. Those I already know why ofc but I also get a milder version in my arms and legs too. I think I've been pretty okay for me to have taken what.. 10 times the normal dose. lemme check
..
it was 32 doses worth
goddamn.. it's starting to freak me out nowadays. That'd be like me getting a perscription but guzzling all the pills for the month in one sitting. (tmi in advance sorry sorry) With me taking THAT much at once you think if somehow someway someone gets my blood they would get high off it? or at the very least treat their allergies. That'd be kinda cool tbh
Ah there was one more thing I noticed. My perception of time ain't the greatest when I'm high anyway. I'm sure it's cause how hyperfocused I am on staying awake plus dph making it hard to remember shit anyway. But on the 1.6.. shit went to the extreme. It was honestly like when I was taking that benadryl-tylenol mix. I'm sure it's mostly due to how much had to be floating around that but man..
When I first started feeling it feeling it I would just be losing my train of thought a lot which led to me forgetting what I was talking about mid sentence a good 70% of the time. Then shit progressed to where I was blacking out randomly. I don't know what exactly happens when I black out. I'm assuming I just continue doing what I was doing and it's really just me forgetting what I just did. But another part of me wonders if I taking mini naps or something. I didn't really get much sleep so maybe my body was forcing me to rest for a bit? I'd black out for anywhere from 30 mins to an hour and a half at a time. I even started hallucinating again which was weirdd.
They were all tame luckily. The most problematic one was me thinking R texted me. I coulda sworn I saw her say I love you on disc. I have a different color for her notifs so I was damn near CERTAIN since it got the color right as well. I still held off on talking to her just incase she tried to talk talk and put the pieces together once she saw how off I was being. I felt like an ass at the time but when I checked the next day I saw that my most recent convo was still the old friend I was otp with. Even if she had deleted it she would've been at the top regardless.
The only other notable hallucinations was the occasional phantom bug. 9 times out of 10 it was just a weird looking shadow but there was a few times where I thought I saw spider legs too. Tho that honestly wasn't toooo. I'd rather have that than texting R about some shit she never did lmao
NOTES/EMOTIONS
I will be mentioning self unaliving a lot in this section so don't upset yourself tryna read, alr?
Ah.. I kinda did say I'd explain my flakiness annnd the shit I'm upset about now semi relates so here we are.
It's hard to explain. You always hear people be yourself no matter. Not to say anything is wrong with that. I just.. I don't know how to interpret that if that makes any sense. I feel like atp I'm only still here to spare my family's feelings (with that including R of course) so it throws me in a thought loop
On one hand, I'm only alive to spare their feelings. I have no real goals, dreams, or plans as far as what I want to do next. So it really wouldn't matter if I just went with whatever they want me to do even if I hate it. Not like I have any better ideas. It makes me feel like I should take all the judgment I'm flung and change accordingly. If I'm alive for them, wouldn't that make the most sense? I'm gonna come back to rock bottom no matter what i do. I might as well just do it for appearance's sake
Tho on the other, if they want me to really do whatever I and only I wanted, would they be angry if I left? Would they understand the struggle and misery I've gone through trying to keep it together for them? It feels stupid to let myself be tethered to this place for people that don't even know me really. I'm sure they'll be hurt for a time sure but.. is that a good enough reason to still be here? I can only leech for so long. I have no plans to go back to college as I am. scared. going from effortless 3.75 to a barely gotten, struggle filled 1.7 killed that for me. I can't afford to keep trying and trying until I hit this magical brain switch that suddenly makes all that easy. Im already nearly 20k in debt from that single semester alone.
And what's so frustrating about this circle thinking is that i KNEW it'd go down like this. I've been wanting to kill myself since 3rd grade. Even with my reasoning being vastly different throughout all this time, at the end of the day, I've been treating my suicide as an inevitability. I get so worked up over any and everything, I have to push and fight myself every fucking day to do the bare minimum, and I never wanted to be in a position where I'm stuck doing something I hate just to get by every month. It's just too much.
I've set various age goals throughout the years to keep me from doing anything too stupid. Originally it was 14 so I could get a job and get better supplies for that sort of thing. Then it was 16 cause by then I was supposed to have a car and I would be allowed to date at that age. Then the latest one was 18 and 6mo. 6mo probably sees random but it made sense to me anyway. Seniors get out of school bout 2 week- a month earlier than everyone else. So I damn near had the house to myself for a little while. Then even once they went on summer break, I still was chilling since I didn't move into my dorm til early october. So I had damn near 5mo to do whatever I wanted with hella open house money to fund it. I figure, since I had all that money and have months and months to do whatever AND im finna be living by myself, if I still wanted to do it, it is what it is
But now look at me. 19 annd nearly 3 months and I'm worse than ever before. It makes my stress tolerance so much lower. Anytime I get upset I turn it back onto myself. If I had just got it over with back then, people wouldn'tve had to see me degrade into the person I am today. If I would have done it back then, I wouldn't need to stress about college, work, money, love, or whatever else. I never wanted any of this. I just wanted to do what was expected of me to keep the peace. But now even when I'm trying to do that, it's not working. It was bound to happen someday tbh. I wasn't gonna be able to half ass my way through life forever. Still.. it crashed and burned quicker than I thought
I feel so trapped. I don't know what to do anymore. Everyone is gonna see it all. My stepmom actually did just called me out for sitting around for this long lmao. I guess it has been a while. I came back for winter break in late December and here I am still. No money and no school. I keep replaying her words over and over again. It slightly pissed me off initially. I've withdrew so much within these last few months to the point where it's rare for either of them to see me more than maybe.. once a day. Plus I've TOLD her I've been struggling for years now and nothing has changed.
Told her I might be struggling with some form of adhd after seeing how hard my workflow was thrown off since quarantine started. Then like 2-3 mo later after radio silence on that stuff she asked me a few questions about therapy preferences then when I told her she told me to book it myself when I'm 18.. Then another time when I was arguing with my dad over something and she started screaming in my face which drove me to a panic attack that she ignored and continued to yell at me until my sisters butted in. She tried to yell at them to but I think I freaked them out with my crying so they didn't budge. Oh yeah. And that middle school thing where I ratted myself out anonymously for being suicidal and actively writing out drafts for it. I didn't like the therapist I had so I stopped going and it was never mentioned again.
Tangent. Sorry. I bring all this up to say it irritated me since I've been asking for help on and off for years now and no one listened. I'm always written off as overdramatic or whiney, or hormonal or whatever th and now I can see she just thinks I'm just a lazy fucking bum. It doesn't even make sense. I've said this was an issue of mine but since I wasn't failing in high school and I don't boohoo in front of them, it was never addressed so why is anyone shocked that this is how I turned out? Why am I now the failure of the family
Whatever anyway. i thought on it longer and I can't put the blame on them entirely. At the end of the day, I should've fought more to get the help I needed before shit hit the fan. I dunno. I've always been like this.
Ig it doesn't really matter now does it?
I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I'm getting backed further and further into this corner and it's going to blow up soon. I know it. I don't want to be around for that. Too much to uncover. I've fucked myself so may times thinking it wouldn't matter because of xyz thing but all of its coming back. It makes me want to go even further tbh. It feels like my only choice. No one will take it seriously until then. Even then, I'd probably go for round 2 just to do it. I am genuinely.. tired.

I feel like all you'll ever need to know about me as a person is how I put off watching the final episodes of Shadowhunters for literally as long as I possibly could because after the one year hiatus I was reasonably detached from the characters and I just knew that getting into the show again too soon knowing that it got cancelled would break my heart into pieces once it ended soooo basically I've finally started 3B and I only have the final episode left now so guess who's crying like a lil bitch baby because her smart plan of not being attached to the characters anymore DID NOT WORK OUT AT ALL and your favourite TV show ending HURTS man

department of matchmaking || s.r
summary: in which you’re asked by aunt may to babysit peter while she’s away at a business conference & steve tags along. peter, being the innocent smol bean he is, tries to get you and the Captain together.
words: ~3.1k
warnings: none, just fluff & a little matchmaking spider-man :) and OH steve’s blue jacket heheh. tony’s your dad in this oop cant resist a stark child. shhh CW never happened bc i’m still in denial 
Tumblr media
Peter: Aunt May says she has a couple errands to run so she won't be back until later this afternoon. Can you pick me up? School just ended.
You: Of course!
Peter: Ned and I are planning on building the Lego Death Star tonight. I know you're a sucker for building stuff :)
You: You know me so well, kiddo. I'm definitely in. How could I miss out on our weekly date nights?
Peter: You're the best! See you soon
You: See you!
"Where are you going?"
"May's busy, so I gotta go pick Peter up from school," you explained to Steve as you slung your purse over your shoulder and grabbed the keys to your (Tony's) Audi, sliding your sunglasses on. "We're having one of our weekly Friday movie nights, and he and Ned just got a new Lego set that they want me to help construct. You wanna come along?"
"Sure, I don't mind."
You headed outside to the car together, sticking the keys into the ignition as Steve slid in next to you in the passenger's seat. "I hope you don't have anything else planned for the rest of tonight. We might be there for a while...I know we were gonna see that new action movie in theaters tomorrow. I'm sorry."
"Nope, no plans," he smiled, "I'm free for the rest of this weekend. As long as I get to spend time with you, it's okay."
You couldn't help but feel your heart flutter a bit at his words. 
But you quickly brushed the thought off, knowing the last thing you were supposed to do was fall for someone after you'd just gotten over a nasty breakup.
Soon enough, you pulled up in front of Midtown High School and saw Peter standing with Ned by the curb. You rolled the window down and called out to them. "Hey, boys. Need a ride?"
"My favorite Avenger! Hi!" Ned greeted as he and Peter got into the backseat, strapping their seatbelts on.
"Ouch, I'm offended," Steve placed a hand over his chest and pretended to look hurt. "I thought I was your favorite?"
"Captain America! It's an honor!" he exclaimed. "I've heard so much about you from Peter!"
"Oh, really? I hope he only told you good things?" the super-soldier chuckled.
"Yup!"
"So, how was school?" you glanced back at the two teenagers from the rearview mirror. "Anything interesting happen?"
"No, except they actually served something edible in the cafeteria for lunch today," Peter rolled his eyes. "Which is a first."
You sighed, placing your hand back on the wheel, "School food isn't the best thing ever."
"So uh, I have a question," Ned spoke up as you headed down the street, "are you and Y/N a...thing? ‘Cause I hear a lot of fans are speculating that the kickass agent and America’s golden boy are dating."
"What? No," you and Steve replied in unison, exchanging a knowing look before bursting into laughter. "No."
"Okay..."
It was mostly quiet for the rest of the car ride back to the apartment. Peter pulled out the keys from his jacket pocket and slid it in the lock, pushing the door open and gesturing for the rest of you to come inside.
"So," he breathed out, setting his backpack down by the front door and dusting his hands off. You sat around the sofa together, glancing at the massive Lego set on the coffee table. "Here it is, in all its glory."
"How many pieces is this?" Steve questioned, looking at it in shock.
"Almost 4000."
A buzzing sound from his phone made Peter look down, swiping a few times before unlocking it and scanning over the new notification.
"May has an overnight business conference and she won't be back until tomorrow evening. She wants you to babysit," he explained as he looked up at you.
"Fine by me," you shrugged. "Cap?"
"Sure, why not."
"But I'm 15 and 8 months! I'm not a baby."
"Well, kiddo, I'm 28 and Tony treats me like a baby even though I’m not a baby anymore. Steve's going on 32, and acts like he's 12."
"I do not!"
"Yes, you do."
"I do not!"
"Yes, you do."
"Arguing like a married couple," Peter coughed, and Ned wiggled his eyebrows up and down. "Cute."
"For the last time, we're not a thing," you let out an exasperated sigh, but felt a blush creep up your cheeks as you spoke.
Two hours later you were a little over halfway done with building the Death Star, and fatigue was beginning to catch up with you after you neglected your sleep schedule and pulled three all-nighters in a row bingeing Netflix with Sam.
You let out a yawn as you flipped through the instructions pamphlet, stretching your arms up in the air.
"You tired?" Steve asked. You were too tired to respond, simply leaning into him and closing your eyes.
"You can take her to the guest room. Straight down the hall, then turn right," Peter said as he noticed you'd now fallen asleep on him. "We can continue this after dinner."
Steve scooped you up into his strong arms and carried you down the hall, pushing the door to the guest room open with one hand before carefully setting you down on the bed, tucking you in.
"Sleep tight," he whispered, a ghost of a smile on his face as he leaned down to kiss your forehead and left.
"Ahem. Now that she's gone," Ned cleared his throat, "time to plan on how we're supposed to get our OTP together!"
"Ned, really-"
"You should ask her out, Cap. I see the way you look at her," Peter raised an eyebrow at him, "I mean, it's clear to everyone how you feel about her, and the way she feels about you. Sam sees it, Mr. Stark sees it, heck, I think May has her suspicions as well because she wouldn't stop talking about how great of a couple you two would be over dinner last night-"
"Look, Peter, I don't think she's ready for a relationship."
"Why not?"
"She just broke up with her boyfriend two months ago. I doubt she'd be willing to date again."
"But you're her best friend! You're literally the perfect man for her!"
"It doesn't matter. I'm not taking advantage of someone when they're vulnerable. That isn't right."
He scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest and kicking his feet up against the coffee table, tossing a spare Lego piece up and down in one hand. "Yeah, I totally believe the great Captain America isn't in love with the great Y/N."
"She's my friend. A teammate."
"Friends with benefits!" Ned chimed in. Steve made a face at this. "No, not like that. I mean that as in, you guys do all the things that regular couples do, except you're not officially a couple. And I think that's big enough of an indication that you should get together for real."
"I'm just waiting for the right time."
"AHA!" both boys shouted. "So you are in love with her!"
"Keep it down!" he scolded. "She's asleep!"
"You didn't deny it this time..."
"Fine, whatever. What do you guys want for dinner? I'll go pick it up."
"Pizza."
"If Y/N asks where I am, just tell her I went to go get the food."
"Okay."
As soon as the door shut behind Steve, Peter and Ned's heads immediately whipped over and they faced each other, exchanging evil grins.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Ned practically squealed.
"Yeah, I'm thinking what you're thinking!"
"Romantic dinner and movie night setup!" both boys whooped and hollered.
"I'll light the candles and get the napkins. May always keeps a stock of scented ones when Y/N comes over because she loves the smell of cherry blossoms."
"...I'll grab the rose petals and tablecloth."
"Rose petals?"
"Mind if I tear apart the flower on your desk?"
"Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Also, the regular tall candles are in the cabinet below the sink in the bathroom."
"Yessir."
Twenty minutes later, Steve came back with the pizza in hand, setting the keys on the counter and closing the door, stopping dead in his tracks as he observed the scene before him.
Tumblr media
"What is going on?"
"We set up a date night for you two because we know you've been working hard this past week and deserved to relax," Peter explained happily. "So, here you go!"
"Peter," Steve sighed, rubbing his forehead, "I appreciate your effort, but Y/N isn't ready for a relationship and neither one of us has feelings for the other."
"But you guys deserve a break! After working nonstop you should at least rest or something."
"Alright, alright. I'll go get Y/N. You guys set the pizza on the plates for everyone, okay?"
"Got it."
You yawned and rubbed your eyes, then stretched your arms up into the air, skidding to a halt as you observed the sight before you.
“Wh...what’s going on?”
Peter and Ned grinned from where they sat on the couch, paper plates on their laps. “We thought you deserved a nice break, so we set up a little something for you guys!”
“A romantic dinner? Why...”
"It looks pretty and gives off a relaxing mood. Why else?” Peter laughed nervously. “Now eat!”
“Okay...” you started growing suspicious, but didn’t question it, “alright, then.”
You fell into an awkward silence after that, aside from the occasional sound of silverware clinking against plates and drink glasses being set back down on the table. The atmosphere felt heavier than before and you couldn’t help but wonder what it was. 
“So, uh...how have you been holding up?” Steve asked you tentatively. He knew the topic of your ex-boyfriend was still that of a rather sensitive one - you’d come storming through the elevator doors and gulped down half a bottle of vodka (you never drank, so this had everyone genuinely worried), before heading upstairs and taking a forty-five minute shower, then afterwards, proceeded to lock yourself in your room for the rest of the afternoon. 
When you wouldn’t come down for dinner, he had to carry up your food to you and when you refused to eat, he was the one to force-feed you. When you suddenly broke down sobbing when he asked you if you were alright, he was the one who held you in your arms. He was the one who got you out of bed to bring you downstairs for some fresh air and to interact with the others, and not once during the time he was having to take care of you for, did he question any of your behavior. You were hurting and that was all that mattered. If you were hurting, he was hurting, too.
“It’s been a rough eight weeks...” you sighed, rubbing your forehead with one hand as you took a sip of wine. “Could be better, but...I’m alright. I just wish I could’ve seen that coming from the moment I went on that blind date with him.”
“What do you mean?” Steve was confused - you’d never mentioned any details of your relationship, you were a very private person, for that matter. You rarely ever opened up to anyone. “I thought you were...”
“Happy? Hell no, I don’t even know why I stayed,” you scoffed as you took another swing of your drink. “It was so easy to fall into a routine. There was this gaping hole in my heart, and...I needed it to be filled somehow. Then Agent Williams comes along, a seemingly perfect new SHIELD recruit, almost everything a girl could possibly want in a man standing right in front of me...how could I not fall for his façade? I didn’t realize it was doomed from the start until about a week into the relationship...but I held my tongue. I knew if I dared to speak up against him, he’d somehow manage to use my words against me, twist everything I said into a whole new lie...he manipulated me, day after day...yet I still didn’t leave because I genuinely believed he’d change. 
“But I was wrong. I was naïve, I stayed because I was so desperate to experience true happiness that I went as far as to stay with someone I knew would do a number on my mental health in the long run. I shouldn’t have been surprised when I walked into HQs one day to drop stuff of for Coulson, to see Williams on top of someone else...in the gym. In the gym...of all places. I only didn’t blast him because I didn’t want to destroy Fury’s property. So I slapped him and left. That’s it. This whole...fling, or whatever the hell you want to call this shitty relationship, lasted only twenty-six days before everything fell apart. God, I’m so stupid - I should’ve known. I was so stupid, I’m such a horrible person for doing what-”
Steve felt his blood boil with anger. Williams had cheated on you - that’s why you’d broken up. All this time he’d been thinking that you simply fell out of love, or maybe ended it on friendlier terms - when in fact, it was anything but.
Nobody deserved to be treated this way, especially you. I could treat you much better, he thought to himself.
“Hey, sweetheart,” he said softly, reaching a hand up to wipe the stray tears that fell from your eyes. Instead of letting his hand fall back at his side right away, he let it linger there for a moment, gently stroking your cheekbone with his thumb. The feeling sent electricity up his fingers. “It’s not your fault. You’re not a bad person...he is.”
“Shit, I think our plan’s backfiring,” Peter hissed into Ned’s ear as they watched the scene unfold from the couch. “What the fuck, Ned!”
“Shh! Hold on, they’re having a really deep conversation. Let them be for a second.”
“I was stupid enough to stay, when he was giving off all the wrong signs...I should’ve listened to Tony and Nat. They knew. They knew from the moment we first got together, but I didn’t listen...”
“It’s okay. You didn’t know any better,” he reassured you, absentmindedly taking your hand in his and rubbing circles across your palm, “you just wanted to be happy. To experience that feeling that came along with being in a relationship. Frankly, I think I would’ve done the same thing.”
“And what makes me feel even worse,” your voice caught in your throat as you spoke, “...were my true intentions of staying. I wanted to be happy, I really did. But I realized I’d never achieve that with someone like him...in a way, I was using him too, I guess. Not for my personal gain or anything, not to boost my social status, like he did...he always made a point of walking around and declaring that he had an Avenger girlfriend. But...”
“But what?”
“I knew if I was in a relationship with someone, that’d prevent me from thinking about being with anyone else. Well...that plan failed...horribly.”
“...What are you saying?”
“Of course, I didn’t figure that out until not long ago...but yeah. The heart wants what it wants...and it didn’t want him.”
“Then who was it?”
Your gaze flickered down to your now-intertwined fingers. You hesitated for a moment before speaking again. “...I think you know who it is, Steve.”
“See!” Ned kicked Peter in the shin as he was in the middle of finishing off his second slice, and he winced. “It’s getting saucy!”
“Ow!” 
“I think we both know,” Steve murmured. 
You let out a sound that was a cross between a laugh and a sob. “I don’t know why I tried pursuing a relationship that wouldn’t fulfill me in the long run. I should’ve known it was you all along, huh? You know me like the back of your hand. For Odin’s sake, you remembered every detail of my SHIELD file, my favorite color, my exact birth date, everything there is to know about me. It’s always been you-”
“...It broke my heart to see you with someone who wasn’t me,” he said quietly.
“Then why didn’t you say anything?”
“I didn’t want you to feel like I was meddling in your love life. I know you hate it when people do that.”
“Steve-”
“I knew you weren’t as happy as you let on. I shouldn’t have stayed silent...I should’ve at least said something. I was terrified to speak up, thinking that you wouldn’t reciprocate my feelings-”
“You...you what?”
“Yeah,” he chuckled lightly, “I’m in love with you.”
Peter let out a squeak. Ned chucked a pillow at him, a giddy look on his face.
“Good news,” you laughed, “because I’m in love with you too.”
“FINALLY!” Ned whooped, unable to contain his excitement for any longer. He and Peter exchanged a fist-bump. “FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY! I can’t believe our ship finally sailed! Though I gotta be honest, I had no idea pizza could bring out people’s true feelings like that.”
“We’re geniuses!” Peter squealed, pulling out his phone.. “Oh, wait until Mr. Stark hears about this!”
Your eyes widened in realization. “Peter, don’t you dare c-”
Too late. A buzzing sound came from your phone, alerting you of a new notification, and you unlocked it to see a text from your father. 
Mr. Stank😡: Took you long enough, honey. I expect a grandchild soon.
Mr. Stank😡: But I’m gonna be honest, I wouldn’t want any other man for you than Capsicle himself.
You let out a loud groan, shoving your phone back into your purse. “Oh, come on.”
A buzzing sound came from Steve’s phone as well, and he took it out of his pocket to take a look. 
Stark: You better not knock her up until after you get married and then leave. I learned that lesson too late. I’m being serious when I’m telling you to treat her right - she hasn’t been the same since her mother walked out all those years ago. You make her happy, though, so I won’t try to intervene.
Stark: But if you hurt her in any way, I’ll break your face. Capiche?
Steve: ...Capiche.
“Ooh! I just got a promotion for telling him about you guys!” Peter clasped his hands together. “I’m joining you on your next group mission!”
“That’s great, Peter!” you congratulated, “but...why would he give you a promotion for...this?”
“Because he’s been waiting for this to happen for the longest time! Oh and also, your food’s getting cold.”
“We could just reheat it. Or...if you guys are still hungry, do you want to go to Olive Garden?” Steve looked over at the two teenage boys. 
“YES.”
“Y/N, what about you?”
“It’s a date,” you winked. You let out a small laugh upon seeing his cheeks flush red.

S1, E2
"The Jenna Thing" 
Ali didn't learn any of the girls' secrets because they voluntarily told her. She just happened on-scene because she didn't bother to call before she came over or knock before she came in. Byron didn't even try that hard to hide what he was doing. No one would have found his cheating ass if he got a fucking hotel or drove to another city. Is everyone this lazy about their infidelity? 
How long after the funeral did Maya wait to start asking to share Emily's beverages? It's a little soon in the relationship to be sharing each other's cups, but okay. Could you have maybe waited a week to start hitting on your neighbor who just found out their friend is dead? Or at least until you break up with your man back home? I feel like a lot of Maya/Emily shippers forget that their relationship also started as infidelity. I'm not saying that makes me hate it, just no one ever mentions this. Emison was always my OTP but Mayaly was a close second. A lot of people who were against Emison were big Mayaly shippers. I'm not saying my taste is good, but it's predictable. I ate the Emison cheeseyness *up* like a starved rat. 
I feel like the rushed and creepy nature of Aria and Ezra's relationship has been talked to death, so I don't know how much time I want to spend dwelling on it, but this episode was yikes on bikes for them. 
Why is Emily's boyfriend so fucking creepy? From the jump, too. "What kind of jammies you think new girl wears?" is totally a question asked by a guy who's going to spend approximately three minutes jerking it to thoughts of them making out. Ben has so much "girls are only lesbians because it turns men on" energy. Just get on Pornhub and leave her alone. 
This episode also brings up the parallels between Emily and Spencer. I wish they would have done more with that, they could have been such a dynamic duo. 
The Hastings family shows up in this episode. Boy are they toxic as fuck. How are you asking your daughter (or sister) to trump your good news right after they uncovered the body of her dead friend in her backyard (*allegedly) and she's just been to Alison's fucking funeral? How long after the funeral does this episode take place???
I get that Alison was a miserable fuck, but she was also your kids' friend! She was also a young, vulnerable child! It's no wonder she was so desperately fucked up, not one authority figure in this town has a fucking soul. The first time I watched, I thought...probably what everyone else thought, which was something like "this little girl is fucking vile," but now I feel worse for her with each passing second. How do none of them fucking care that their neighbor's kid was bludgeoned and suffocated to death on dirt from her own backyard (*allegedly)?! 
At this point, I no longer ask why Alison was the way she was. I'm more concerned with how the others aren't equally as toxic. Imagine being brutally murdered as a pre-teen in your own fucking yard and no one cares, not even the cops. 
Speaking of the cops, I wish their incompetence had been more intentional. A plot point of police corruption could have added something to the story and explained why the case had to be solved by these teenagers instead of law enforcement. Instead, I have to find some way to be okay with knowing the cops just collected four statements and left. "None of the four people we interviewed made any kind of confession so I guess it's a cold case, boss." Wilden has tunnel vision on these girls even though there's no clear sign that any of them were in the DiLaurentis home or yard. She was found in her own backyard, not one of theirs. Shouldn't we be questioning the people who lived here at the time of her disappearance? No? We're just gonna obsess over the teenage girls? 
It was really Wilden who set me up for a life of ACAB ideology. 
It's super weird that no one starts talking about the DiLaurentis family after they find her body in her own backyard. We're supposed to believe the rumor mill of this town is literally such an entity that it controls peoples' lives. They're acting like they think Alison's corpse just clicked her heels together and ended up buried in the yard "there's no place like home"-style. It takes these people way too long to suspect her family of being the culprits. 
I also did some research on body decomposition after death. By the end of a year, a corpse should be almost completely skeletonized. I don't know how they found dirt in her lungs. And it's pretty well confirmed that this did all happen on the same night. 
How long did Aria sit there in those cold, wet clothes, and why did no one else say anything? Byron couldn't have waited for her to change to start talking about the girl he fucked? I hate him. 
What is the connection between "The Jenna Thing" and Alison's death? They seem to think there is one. Isn't it established that they were withholding information from the cops about that night? And if y'all think this...stink bomb explosion…is motivation for someone to kill her, why not bring it up? There's a good chance it's been too long for them to press any charges, and as far as they know, Alison is dead. Who are they still covering for? Why didn't Toby or Jenna tell them? Oh, right, because no one's fucking asked them. 
The friendship bracelets are totally fucking cute. I love cute shit like that.

Ok, so I haven't been able to comment much on my Riverdale rewatch mostly bc i'm watching it with my boyfriend and we have an agreement of no cell phones when we're watching, otherwise we can't pay proper attention to it. But I wrote down some notes about the episodes I did watch (I watched up until ep 6, which is very ironic bc apparently today is its anniversary, so yay for my perfect timing). I actually remember most of the stuff that happened in s1, so here's mostly a few things I paid more attention to or noticed about the characters and the ships, or things i'm able to look at through a different view now that i've watched all the seasons. Strap in if you want to see my notes, if not just scroll please, no ship or character hate here please. Also, feel free to ignore, this is really just a personal look in some stuff I didn't notice in my first watch.
- Betty's character used to be much happier and lighter in season 1. I know we're introduced to "Dark Betty" right in episode 3, but still, I feel like the way Lili played Betty in season 1 did not hold the same "darkness" as it does in the following seasons. The scene where she is dancing happily in her bedroom because she's going to homecoming with the boy she likes? The scene where she introduces Jughead to the Blue & Gold and gets him to work with her? Her genuine innocent happiness at seeing her sister again after so much time? The way she interacted with Kevin and Veronica? Those were all chef's kiss because she actually feels like a teenager in them. In all her girly glory, she radiates youth energy and it's a thing that was sadly lacking after s1. Btw this is not a critique at Lili's acting at all, I blame it entirely on Ras and his obsession with dark Betty.
- There's actually so many indications of Cheryl being a lgbt character in the first episodes that I have no idea how I missed it the first time. But then again, there were many indications with Veronica as well, and sadly that's not the path Ras chose for her.
- Jughead in s1 is truly so superior in so many ways that it's not hard to see why he quickly became such a fan favorite. I think even if he wasn't played by Cole Sprouse, he still would have conquered many fans' hearts. Sadly, the things that made Jughead such a loving and interesting character for me also fizzled out in s2 when the writing team decided to make him a woke serpent leader instead of allowing him to sticking to his true personality as a passionate mystery lover, a dedicated friend and very nerdy, which was very cute. I feel that we got some of that back for him in s4, which was good, but sadly s1 is where my love for him really stayed to stay. But I still care for him, and s5 has a promising storyline for him which i'm excited about, so let's see if s5 Jughead can become better than s1 Jughead.
- Going back again to Cheryl for a sec, I just noticed that the red lipstick actually wasn't that common for her in s1? At least not in the first five. I wonder when did it start becoming her trademark? Anyways, it's actually a really good look her and allows you to appreciate Madelaine's natural beauty even more.
- Also, did anybody notice how Alice lowkey figured out who killed Jason in ep 2 lmao, like... in episode two she legit says she wouldn't be surprised if the Blossoms themselves had killed Jason, which... is what happened LMAO, considering we know it was his father. And even more hilarious and tragically ironic note, in ep 6 she's laughing at Betty suggesting that Hal killed Jason because "do you think your father has the stomach for it?!"... Ma'am... i'm-.... 😂😂😂😂.
- This rewatch has reminded me of how much I adored and how I much I miss Josie and the Pussycats. The girls were such a nice addition to the cast, and their songs were so beautiful. I truly wish we get to see them again someday, but at the same time I also think the actresses deserve to be at a work place where they're given the treatment they deserve and not completely ignored and treated like extras.
- Archie/Valerie was super cute and is very underrated in the fandom, but i'm glad Valerie stood up for herself and didn't take any of Archie's or Cheryl's sh*t. Still sucks because they were really good together, though.
- Why was Jason not allowed to talk, lmao? Like, i'm sure it's become a running joke in the show at this point, but back when season one was airing what was the excuse for it? He appeared in so many flashbacks and scenes and we still never heard a single word ☠️☠️☠️☠️. I just want to know what was the reason lol.
- I liked s1 Reggie, but I feel like Charles Melton's Reggie is better because he actually feels like a douche with good intentions lol, and he has more of a personality. Most of the time I even forgot about Reggie in s1, but after s2 he definitely made me more aware of him. So for that, I like Charles Melton's Reggie more. But the actor from s1 still did a good job with what he was given.
From now on I will be talking about the ships, so bear with me, and know that I am a multishipper. Yes, I have my preferences. No, my word is not law, it's just an opinion, so please respect it.
- Bughead is still super cute in s1. I feel like from s1 they will always be my otp, even if I no longer feel as strongly about them now and have a different insight as to where I would like their story to go, and now I definitely see the problem others had mentioned before of how they kind of took over the show, which is something I kind of closed my eyes to before... But I really loved them in s1. It felt like a very juvenile teenage relationship, they didn't give much thought on why and if they should be together, they just went for it like teenagers usually do, and they were very very cute together.
- I feel like if you don't count Beronica (because they really were the best no matter what you say or ship), if there's a ship that deserves "best chemistry" award for s1 is probably Varchie. I lost my interest in them years ago, but this rewatch reminded me of why I actually loved them once. They never really became an otp for me, but Kj and Camila's chemistry in s1 was VERY GOOD, and I really liked them. Their kiss in the pilot was electric and the s&xual tension was OOF, and that chemistry carries on through the season. You can easily tell something will happen between them eventually. It makes me sad bc I don't know what happened after s1, but their chemistry from s2 onwards was just... not there for me. Which is ironic bc it's the season they truly started dating and they got a lot of smexy scenes, but I just... didn't feel it. But I'll leave that comment to my s2 rewatch. For now just let me enjoy Varchie's chemistry in s1 while it lasts because it was really good.
- Now we get to Barchie, who I made clear was the reason for my rewatch, so let's get to it. I LOVED the way Barchie was written in s1. I remember when I first watched Riverdale, I was curious about their dynamic but didn't put much thought into it because I loved Bughead too much and wanted them to be together, and I thought Barchie would be the traditional "first og ship" thing and wouldn't have a big follow up, but boy was I WRONG and am I GLAD for it. I'll talk more about their development in the next seasons when I get there, so for now let's focus a bit on s1. Just in like the first two episodes, there is so much Barchie foreshadowing, like, it's legit insane how it was right there in my face and I missed it the first time! "I have never felt what i'm supposed to feel with betty", "it's not my fault he doesn't like you", "I can't give you the answer you want"... Omg, those are obvious eyebrow raising "this will come back to bite you in the a$$" moments and it's incredible how they actually DO! I would call it clever writing, but like... it's Riverdale lol. So I really am just glad that the ship was done this way, i'm glad Barchie has the back story that they do, they've really come a LONG way and i'm happy I get to experience their whole growing storyline. It's also especially good because s1 actually provides you with scenes that show you their friendship and how they're so close, you see them hanging out, talking, their pictures together, everything was just really done well with them. Still have a bit of critique with the way Archie contradicted himself sometimes regardinf his feelings for Betty, but let's be honest, we've watched enough Riverdale to know that's just a problem with the writing.
- Kevin/Joaquin is still my favorite Kevin ship, i'm sad it's completely impossible to go back to them someday so for now i'll just be really glad it existed and that I got to see them even if it was short-lived. They had great chemistry and their kiss scenes always outsold.
- Beronica... sigh. Beronica. The most wasted chemistry i've ever seen on CW and I've watched a LOT of CW shows. There was so much potential there, s1 was practically overflowing with them and it's one of the reasons it became some popular. I remember when the Beronica fandom was the biggest one, ah, good times. Veronica and Betty were easily the best part of season 1, their friendship, their lowkey romantic moments, they were just superior in every way. This ship deserved better, not even just as a ship, but as a friendship.
- Veronica's s1 hair >>> Veronica's hair in seasons 2-4. I loved the side part and I am glad it's back in season 5, it looks so much better like that.
- Cheryl, as always, deserves better. Can't wait for her to meet Toni so I can watch again Cheryl finally get to love someone and be loved back, which is exactly what she deserves.
For now, that is all! I will probably make another post soon when i'm done with season one and from season two on I will be live-blogging the episodes since I will be watching it alone. Once again, pls, no hate, my thoughts are my thoughts. Peace.

The Phoenix and the Dragon
Tumblr media
Yet again we've arrived at Ulquihime week! Gotta confess I'm not much of a Christmas person but I do look forward to December for my OTP week. Everyone puts so much love and effort into their entries that it's hard not to be excited. Okay so today's theme is Crossover and I wanted to pick something that wasn't likely to be repeated by someone else, so leave it to my nostalgic mind to go 'What about a Winx Club crossover?' Thus here we are! This little one-shot is based on one of my fave childhood shows and one of the first villain ships I ever had. (Yes, my 10-year-old self hardcore shipped Darkar & Bloom) 😅 Hope you like it! (Spoilers for some aspects of season 2 of Winx Club. I'm taking from the 4kids version of the show and Nickelodeon special btw. And some mild spoilers for the second movie.)
Also for those who do know the winx cast and want to know who is who in the crossover here it is.
Orihime- Bloom
Ulquiorra- Darkar/Avalon
Tatsuki- Stella
Shizuka- Layla
Ichigo- Prince Sky
Isshin- Errendor
Sora- Daphne
Unohana- Faragonda
Okay now that's all set, here's the fic!
@ulquihimeweek​
Ulquihime Week- Day 1 Crossover
The Phoenix and the Dragon
Orihime awoke in a dimly lit room. She didn't remember much, just going into Professor Schiffer's office and then...'And then he changed and turned into the Phoenix.'
"I can sense you. Just come out of the shadows already." She muttered.
Ulquiorra obliged, no longer looking like a human but in his true form as the Shadow Phoenix.
To her he didn't look much different, his skin was paler but his other features remained the same. He had large dark wings and a tail, along with tear markings.
"I should've known it was you. We get warmed about a Shadow Phoenix and next thing we know a new professor shows up at our school."
He chuckled. "Yes well, that didn't occur to you as we bonded, Ms. Inoue."
She lowered her head in shame. Since Ulquiorra arrived at Alfea he had become her favorite teacher, and even offered to teach her about her home kingdom, Sparx, which had been destroyed when she was just a baby.
"Is that why you brought me here? To taunt me?!"
"No, darling. I have other plans for you. Or should I say us?"
"I'll never collaborate with you!"
"You say that now, but you might change your mind after I explain my plans to you."
She frowned, but at the moment there was nothing she could do. Orihime sighed. "Fine. I suppose I can listen to you for a while."
"I appreciate it. First I must ask you something. What do you know about me, Orihime Inoue? Who do you think I am?"
"Headmistress Retsu told us you were once human. That you came to the underealm to try and find the shadow fire, but that it's power consumed you and that now you're seeking to take over the magic universe.
I also know that you came to our school and posed as a professor until now..."
"The headmistress is a wise woman, studious too since she appears to know my origins well, the one commonly excepted that is."
"What do you mean?"
"Indeed, I was once human, that I came here to study the Shadow Fire, but it's power didn't overtake me. For you see, I willingly submitted to it. I'm the one in control, always have been. And while I do wish to take over the magic dimension it is not for my own gain."
"Why else would you want to take over?"
"I want this dimension to change. I want to tear down the structures that bind its kingdoms. I've wanted that since I was a human.
You see, darling, the structures of this dimension are so very ancient and so very obsolete. The squabbles between kingdoms have led to so much war, to destruction, to sadness... Just look at what happened to Sparx."
"My kingdom was destroyed by the ancient witches. Not by war."
"You're right, but your kingdom had a close ally. An ally that should've saved you from the witches, yet instead bargained to have them take your kingdom and spare them. The king of Eraklyon made said bargain."
Orihime grew dizzy. 'No, no it can't be! Ichigo's father wouldn't do that! This is a lie!"
"You think I'm lying, don't you?"
"Of course you're lying! King Isshin wouldn't do that, neither would Ichigo!"
"Analyze the situation, darling. Eraklyon was your closest ally, and yet they didn't suffer any damage as Sparx was destroyed. Your parents vanished, your brother died saving you, your planet is now an icy wasteland. Yet Eraklyon stands as the richest land in Magix. As for your little prince, he was merely a child when this took place, but I don't doubt he'd keep it a secret from you, he has done so before."
Orihime felt as if her skin was catching fire. She hated to be reminded of that lie, to think back when Ichigo had hidden his royal lineage and engagement to a princess. She'd forgiven him, of course, and they were a couple once again, but deep inside she still distrusted him. And a part of her did think Ulquorra's words were true.
'Maybe that's why his father disapproved of us. Not because I'm a princess of a destroyed kingdom, but because my kingdom's destruction was partly his fault...'
"You see, darling. That's only one example of plenty I can give you. All of these realms need someone truly wise to rule them."
"Even if I believed you, that doesn't mean I'll join you. I don't want to kill anyone."
"Who said anything about killing? There are plenty of ways to dethrone a ruler. That's what I crave to do darling. Imagine it, a dimension without destroyed kingdoms, without arranged marriages, without squabbles for the throne. We'd be the only rulers, the royals would be our regents, they'd have to abide by what we demand."
Ulquiorra's eyes glowed green as he spoke. She had seen him like that before in his humanoid form. His eyes always sparkled as he thought her class about History and asked them to be part of the change.
"Ulquiorra, I think it's wonderful that you're trying to make the universe better, but I fail to see why would want me to join you. I'm no leader."
Orihime felt Ulquiorra's cold hand gently lift her chin. "Orihime, you're the only person I've ever met worthy of wearing such a crown.
The reason I posed as a teacher at Alfea wasn't to further my plans, or to steal the codex but to observe you. In just a few months you made such great progress that I couldn't help but be convinced you were worthy of sharing my crown, of carrying the dragon flame, of ruling over Magix.
You came from Earth yet quickly adapted to this dimension, to its power and its costumes. You're kind, fierce, strong, I couldn't ask for a better queen."
He noticed Orihime's pale skin turn bright red, and her sliver eyes grow misty. "No one's ever really praised me like that. Thank you."
He smirked. "I'll be sure to do so more often in the future then."
With a snap of Ulquiorra's fingers, her bounds disappeared. Orihime stood up, directly facing Ulquiorra.
He took her hands in his and directly stared into her eyes, silver meeting emerald. "Orihime Inoue, will you join me in my quest to bring peace and order to the magic dimension?"
It wasn't easy, she didn't want to leave her friends, her school, or even Ichigo. Even after what she learned it felt wrong to vanish without a word.
'But it must be done. Tatsuki-chan will be free to choose who she marries, Nemu-san won't be forced to follow the path her father wants for her, Shizuka-chan won't have to take the throne of the harmonic nebula...even Ichigo would now be free to make his own choices. This would be for the best.'
With a beautiful smile and newfound determination, Orihime finally responded. "Yes, I will."
"Then it is done, our power is now bound."
She could feel a surge of dark magic taking over, but it wasn't unpleasant. Her characteristic blue fae dress was now black and her fairy wings had turned grey. Orihime also noticed Ulquiorra's form slightly changed, his dark wings now had accents of green and he resembled his humanoid form a little more.
"It's the bond." He told her after noticing her confusion. "Light cannot exist without dark and vice versa. As such my darkness had to take some of your light and your light had to take some of my darkness."
Shadow Fire & Dragon Fire were united at last. Orihime was certain that now she and Ulquiorra would be unstoppable. 'We'll fix everything soon.'
"What shall we do now?"
"Since I've acquired all the pieces of the codex, I was thinking we could go to the Relix dimension. Your parents might've vanished there after the destruction of Sparx."
"My parents...I never thought it'd be possible to reach them."
"It is, my darling. We'll bring them back and then return Sparx to its former glory. After that, we can finally reshape the magic dimension into what it should've been from the beginning."
For the first in a long while, Orihime felt like she was doing things right. It would take her friends some time to forgive her, but she knew in time she would join them again. 'I'm doing this for all of us. For me, and for him.'
She gently kissed Ulquiorra's cheek, he blushed at the gesture. "I was not expecting that."
"I'm still a little miffed at you for pretending to be a professor but if we're to be in harmony as rulers this is a good place to start."
"Then I guess I should do my part too."
Ulquiorra wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a passionate kiss. Orihime quickly blushed and playfully shoved him as he let go of her.
"Show off."
"Guilty as charged."
"Y'know, I remember seeing paintings back on earth with dragons and phoenixes together as a couple. Do you think that was a prediction?"
"It could be, after all, the most enduring romances are likely to echo through many universes."

That boom to title sequence is dope af
"Chuck and Amara are gone" where Death?
Death's just like "you got me" lolz

I LOVE the empty as a place, just the aesthetic is so black and perfect
Also I LOVE Rachel as the Empty, probably the most, though I do miss Misha's crazy version
Damn Sam, is now the time to be petty, yes, yes it is
Wonder if Billie read that she wouldn't be there for God's ending
Dude Empty chill you saw he had no control
Interesting. Indeed. We're all dying to know! Ha.
Dean's just like I did it once I can do it again.
Blip goes Death. Forgot her book too.
Thank you Rich for that sexy Jensen pose.
Love u bros when you're being open and honest.
Michael is not returning their prayers haha
To somehow. Dean says pointing at Caslamp with his glass.
Can't believe the perfect egg making lady dressed in pink disappeared first.
Aww poor Charlie.
Aww Cas and Jack scenes <3 <3 <3
It's cuz you're cute as a button, that's why you're here nougat
Me three. I'm scared too.
What pattern does Stevie fit exactly? Kinda reaching there Dean.
How did you get "anyone who's crossed over or died is not safe" from Stevie disappearing?
Eileen noooo. Just tell her Sam wth. What's with the suspense

"We don't have a choice" bitch stop saying that

If Dean doesn't become Death all the imagery is gonna go to waste
That's a big dick building.
Hi Bobby
Jack has powers that kill plants?
Cas and Dean this is not the Library AU we meant
Damn Chuckmara coming in strong with the disappearing act
You killed Death, Dean. Again. And then Dean holding Cas back like no bby it's Death! Lol
Hey Billie that's my otp you're throwing
Yes, please take a sec to #married bicker
"What do we do Ca.." and the narrative squeezes Dean's heart cuz that's the narrative's other name for "Cas"
Oh God we have not gotten enough destiel touching this season, I've been destiel touch starved and I know they're in peril But. THEY ARE FULL BODY TOUCHING. Oh The Pornography. I mean humanity.
Human disorder incarnate is a little harsh
More touchinghhh.
"I've got you" Cas says minutes before saying "The one thing I want is something I know I can't have" Cas stop contradicting yourself
Death being super dramatic with her scythe. Tbh if I had a scythe I'd be that dramatic too
MORE full-body touching.. hugging?
Don't you think it's finally time, time for the sweet release.... a very necessary long pause.. yes dear writer I do think it's finally time for that sweet release
That frame where they enter the room is actual porn.
And then Cas pulls out..... dramatic pause... a knife
Cas bleeds for Dean's heart as I bleed for them
Jensen + acting is a top-notch OTP of its own
Dean knows Billie would torture him by killing Cas first
Cas about to blow Dean's mind
And mine.
This scene guys. The scene. Just. Aghh.
Also Cas being tactical AF
It would take me forever. Bitch #2 I better see ur face again!
The pounding is so satisfying in this scene. Like my heart pounded and then stopped to that beat.
I LOVE THIS SPEECH.
"Knowing you has changed me" 😭 is probably my 2nd fave sentence ever, right after "I love you"
JENSEN. UR FACE. It's so freaking expressive.
MISHA. UR FACE. When you cry I cry.
Goodbye Dean. 😭😭😭😭 Yeet 😂😂😭😭😭
That hand print. That soft look. Those teary eyes. That save. 😭😭😭😭
JENSEN yet again deserves ALL the awards, like I feel Dean so deeply, always.
That. Was. So. ROMANTIC. Also devaststing but like I've just been focusing on the ROMANTIC part for a week
Can't believe Sam and Jack missed all that, and my brain, again, forgot the whole world disappeared in-between.
I guess the whole world disappears every time I think of destiel so. Accurate metaphor show, very accurate.
My poor Dean and also heart.
Quick KUDOS to Bobo and Rich, my writer/director OTP. Best episode of the season.

Twilight x Warrior Headcanons
Hey there, everyone! I'm Waffles, and I'm gonna do a little post about my headcanons for my OTP, TP Link x HW Link! Now I know most people hate Link x Link ships, but I honestly don't see any problem with them.
I've actually loved this ship for a few years now, and did a whole book of one shots on Wattpad!
I have a huge list of personal headcanons for them, so here it is!
Unfortunately, these are all over the place (one might be angst, and the next might be fluffy), so please don't get mad at me in the comment section!
Also, this features headcanons from my own AU where Twi and War are able to live in the same era.
*Edit: the AU is now called "The General and the Goat Herder"
.....
-They met after the Twilight Invasion and before the War Across the Ages
-Warrior is a few months older than Twilight
-War is very protective of Twi, and vice versa
-Twilight, actually, can get jealous of almost any attractive person that gets close to Warrior, but he keeps his jealousy a secret because he knows Warrior is loyal to him
-Warrior doesn't get jealous of anyone because he knows Twilight wouldn't do anything to hurt him.....unless we're talking about Midna, and that's a whole other story
-Warrior hates Midna, in case you were wondering, because he believes she abandoned Twilight (I swear that I don't hate Midna, but I felt like it would suit him because he's protective) (I want to write a confrontation scene between Warrior and Midna, which would be tense as heck, but I don't know how to do that, so...)
-They share the Triforce of Courage, and they can use it to help find each other if they're ever separated
-They legally changed their names to Twilight and Warrior after they were married; they are still called 'Link' by some people
-Twi has a country accent
-Warrior was the one to confess his feelings first, and he also was the one to propose
-Warrior is very skeptical of new people because of the betrayal he experienced in the war
-Twi is very welcoming to new people, but he changed that attitude just a little when he married Warrior
-Warrior can be very reckless when Twilight and/or their kids are in danger (I'll tell you more about the kids later)
-Warrior is gay; Twilight is bisexual
-Twi secretly fears that Warrior will leave him the same way Midna did
-Warrior bought Twilight his own ranch for his 22nd birthday; War proposed to him on that same day three years later
-Twilight is a pro dad due to his experience with kids, but Warrior does his best
-They have two sons from previous relationships (Towairaito is Twilight's son, and Eddie is Warrior's)
-Twilight is called "Pa", and Warrior is called "Dad"
-Warrior is a general, and he's away from the farm for long periods of time; when he visits, he spends as much time with his kids as possible before going back so his boys know that he loves them
-They supported Eddie when he came out as a trans male and proceeded to tell everyone that he was their son; they will fight anyone who bullies Eddie
-When the kids were young, Twilight usually transformed into a wolf to comfort them when they were having nightmares; sadly, as he grew older, his body could no longer handle the multiple transformations and he stopped; afterwards, they got a dog (a grey Hylian Retriever) to comfort the kids
-They can't have any cats because both sons are highly allergic
-They hide their relationship from everyone except Zelda, Impa, and the people of Ordon
-Most people believe that they are the best of friends and consider each other brothers
-Since people don't know about their relationship, quite a number of women have tried to woo them, only to be immediately shot down
-Warrior, sadly, has a very bad relationship with his parents; he has a twin sister (Linkle) and six younger sisters (who I have yet to name); he gets along with them much better; they were all raised in Castle Town
-Warrior's father is a former knight, and he was appointed to protect the royal family; his mother is a baker
-Warrior has an uncle (on his mother's side) who is just like him and he considers this man a true father to him; he was invited to the wedding
-When the two got engaged, Twilight attempted to get Warrior's parents to come to their wedding, only to be angrily shot down; Warrior no longer contacts them, but he still sends letters to his sisters
-Luckily, Twilight's Ordon family accepted them as a couple and suggested having the wedding at their village, to which Twi and War accepted
-Eddie (known as Emmy at the time) was the flower girl, and Towairaito (or "TowTow" for short) was the ring bearer; Eddie was eight, and TowTow was six
Due to a horrible past, Warrior is skittish and is terrified of being touched, even by those he trusts; it even took him a while to shake people's hands or offer/accept a hug
-Twi let him take as much time as he needed to learn to trust, and helped him along the way
-Twilight was nervous about opening up his heart again to anyone after Midna; when he realized his feelings for Warrior weren't going away, he struggled to accept them
-Both of them were extremely hesitant to even consider a relationship with each other after everything they had experienced; fortunately, they were able to talk honestly to one another and sort out their feelings
-Their first kiss was extremely awkward; Warrior initiated it on accident, but Twi happily returned it
-Their relationship was a struggle as they tried to figure out what would work for them; luckily, they found a way to mantain a healthy relationship
-Warrior was hesitant about asking Twi to marry him, but he was encouraged to try by Zelda
-The wedding took place in Ordon, after Twilight reunited with his adoptive family after being gone for seven years
-Rusl and Uli (Twi's adopted parents) were extremely supportive of their relationship, which made Warrior emotional because his own parents reacted harshly
-The honeymoon was in Snowpeak, where Twilight taught Warrior how to sled down the mountain with the Yetis
.....
-Warrior bought a ranch for Twilight for his 22nd birthday; it was later named "Little Wolf Pastures"
-They have Epona and a few other horses, goats, pigs, sheep, cows, and cuccos (I know some of these animals don't show up in TP or HW, but I added them because why the heck not? It is a farm)
-Twilight is a vegetarian, despite his wolf form, because he has a deep love for animals of all kinds; Warrior and the kids went vegetarian after the family officially came together
-They hired some ranch hands to help around the farm
-They sell milk, butter, and cheese, as well as wool from the sheep
-They have a grey female Hylian Retriever named "Trouble", who their kids absolutely adore; she happens to love Warrior the most because he's gone for long periods of time and she gets extremely excited when he returns
-They share Epona, but Warrior has his own steed, a white stallion named "Storm"
-Warrior is a few inches taller
-Their "love language" is giving gifts to one another at random times, not just on special dates
-Twilight is a much better cook than Warrior; he has tried to cook before, but afterwards, Twilight refused to let him
-Their wedding rings are imbued with magic and protect them in case anything happens
-They are one hundred percent honest with one another and never keep any secrets whatsoever (communication is key)
-They are both excellent horse riders
-Warrior is descended from a long line of knights dedicated to protecting the royal family; his son Eddie wishes to continue that line
-When they began dating, they were extremely awkward with one another due to a lack of experience in relationships
-Warrior prefers dogs, while Twilight prefers cats (although they can't have any because their sons are allergic)
-Twilight's favorite time of year is spring, while Warrior's is winter
-Warrior's birthday is August 14; his son Eddie's birthday is August 25; Twilight and Towairaito share a birthday on November 19
-Warrior is a bigger baby when he gets sick
-Warrior used to be really shy about their relationship, but as time went on, he gained more confidence
.....
Well thanks for checking this out! I guess you can ask me stuff if you want.
Have a great day/night! ❤❤
