can you do like a spin off to the fic you did where rafe went to the strip club, and instead of them making up y/n stands on business and leaves 😭? thank you if you do i love your writing smmm

based off of this request

warnings: angst, cheating

a/n: i heard y’all loud and clear, i hope you guys like this version just as much, if not more <3

“fuck, they don’t make them like this on figure eight.” you watched with watery eyes as rafe’s hands roamed the body of a stranger, his friends hollering in the background. seeing rafe receive a lap dance should’ve been enough for you to click out of instagram and call it quits, but you couldn’t help yourself in watching the rest of kelce’s stories. after skimming through the rest of the photos and videos, you didn’t have any tears left in you to cry.

getting up on shaky legs, you took everything you could fit in a suitcase, ignoring the calls from rafe as you went around your shared bedroom, grabbing your things. just as you were taking your last bag downstairs, the front door opened, revealing the last person you wanted to face right now. “what’s all of this?” your head shot up at the voice, your lips swollen from biting on them so hard. “what’s wrong?” he moved close, making you back away.

“please don’t touch me.” your voice came out weak. rafe scoffed, blinking rapidly as you took a seat on the couch, holding your head in your hands. “what’s wrong with you? why do you have all your shit down here?” he kneeled in front of you, the smell of cheap perfume filling your senses. “you should probably remind your friends to hide me from their story ‘next time you want to let someone put their boobs in your face.” you sniffled, avoiding his gaze.

rafe sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before he reached for your arm. “baby, please, i can explain everything.” you smiled, shaking your head. “you don’t have to. i really don’t care anymore, i’m leaving.” he narrowed his eyes at you, stumbling over his next words. “w-what the fuck are you talking about?” he grabbed two of your bags, about to take them upstairs before you stopped him. “this isn’t the first time you’ve been unfaithful, rafe, and if i don’t leave right now, it won’t be the last.” your voice cracked.

he shook his head, jogging upstairs, only to see you had cleared everything that belonged to you. rafe’s heart dropped, it looked like you had never been here to begin with. panic settled in his gut. “you can’t leave, i won’t let you.” he came back down, his eyes filled with guilt. “i already have a car on the way.” rafe shouted, punching the air. “y/n, i’m begging you baby, please let’s just go to bed-” you watched him cry, and for the first time you felt nothing. “we’ll forget all about this in the morning, alright? i’ll take you somewhere nice for breakfast, we could spend the day on the druthers the way that you like.” by the way he was talking, it sounded like he was reassuring himself more than you.

“and sweep it under the rug just like the last few times? no.” you laughed bitterly. “you cheat and time and time again i don’t do anything about it. i’m so tired, rafe. ‘tired of hearing the women at the country club call me ‘dumb and clueless’, i’m tired of everyone giving me pitiful looks everytime we walk inside a room.. i’m tired of not being valued.” you looked down at your hand, removing the promise ring that clearly didn’t mean anything.

“hey, hey, come on,” he pulled you up, “i value you, you know i do. i get you everything you want, goddamit, i take care of you!” you flinched at the volume of his voice. “i could get myself whatever i want rafe. all i’ve ever wanted was for you to be faithful, and you can’t even do that.” he watched as you glanced outside. “my ride is here.” he blinked, everything hitting him all at once. “y/n, stop.” he held you in place, not allowing you to move until you shoved him.

“there’s someone out there who is going to love me, and care about my feelings in all situations, someone who isn’t selfish.” you started rolling your suitcase out of the house, rafe following closely behind. “please don’t leave!” he ran his fingers through his hair. he begged and begged until you had the very last bag. “i hope one day you meet someone like yourself, fall in love with them, and see that no matter what you do, it will never be enough.” he watched you get into the black suv, feeling nothing but despair as the car drove away.

When you see queer show after queer show get cancelled, I'm just forever grateful Crew-Ra at least got to finish SPOP and end the story their own way.

#like off the top of my head toh warrior nun first kill and now ofmd #all got shortened or cancelled #and I am sure there are more I'm just forgetting #anyway I'm not tagging the other shows because they have suffered enough #but my heart goes out to them because this its garbage how every queer show gets the rug pulled out from under it #spop #shera #she ra #netflix #dreamworks #she ra and the princesses of power #catradora #a league of their own! I knew I was forgetting something!

Wait, I'm idiot (shh). Was Matthew one of Himaruya's suggestions for Canada’s human name because it was John Cabot's ship when he was commissioned by Henry VII to go exploring and ended up running into Newfoundland??? That Matthew?

Yes, I'm probably ten years late to this theory, but... I am taking it and running a mile with it.

#hetalia #hws england #hws canada #imagine if arthur *did* name matthew not francis hohohohohhhmygosh #this is so dumb i just feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me like is *this* where hima got the name from??? is it too obscure #????#op #headcanon #Alfred gets Arthur's most beloved King as a name Matthew gets a boat #a LOVELY boat mind you like its the boat that tied them together thereafter but... still a boat ain't it

don't ask how i got here but i am currently imagining Zoe as a popular twitch streamer and whether he plays videos game or does art depends on his mood that day and if you complain about him doing one and not the other bc you don’t care about this half of the content do the other thing instead he just bans you with no other reaction or warning given he doesn’t even blink

the only tell is a slight furrowing of his vestigial eyes so every time his face does this number everyone in the chat explodes in a delighted frenzy to figure out who just got themself launched

(his ability to pay attention to both whatever he is doing And the chat simultaneously at all times is very handy, and so so bad for his psyche)

#doodles #oc babble #zoetrope #this is a public facing persona he keeps his affect on the proper setting #and he Affects the tell too #he can remain TOTALLY stonefaced but he knows people look for it #this isn't even just a haha funny thing in this noncanon goofery either #he uses the fact people just assume his vestigial eyes Always convey his True intent to fool them further sometimes #zoe: do you really think someone infamous for being manipulative would have a tell that blatant and youre the first to game it #things zoe and lam have in common: why yes i will let you think i'm a dumbass you've fooled but really im the one taking YOU for a ride #its just when zoe pulls the rug out from under you there's possibly a pit of spikes waiting for you

Asking for a friend who is not my twin from another dimension or anything like that...

What are some "fun" ways to torture your blorbos?

So far, I got reoccurring nightmares, physically threatening them, messing with their emotions through magic, isolating them from everyone, and make them feel like they have to walk on eggshells all the time.

Am I missing anything? (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)

I promise this is for a "good" cause!

I'm thinking allowing their mental state to decline horribly and doing nothing about it as well.

#raccoons drabbles #writeblr #undertale #i just want to pad out a chapter before pulling the rug out from under them #i'm not actually writing any of this right away #just planning because i NEED to #or i will explode

Also I gotta know - with their friendship banter, do they banter each other into a kiss, or is it flirty friendship/primarily just friendship? When is their first kiss? (I'm a sap okay) is it just a kiss/a kiss at all, or more?

FINALLY I think I can answer this and I'm glad I waited because my first guesses didn't end up being the choices I made. I thought it would be a kiss at the end of book 2 in the haunted house but that didn't feel right. Then I thought about waiting until after the auction but gave in before. Purely going by book canon, the first kiss (other than a couple on the cheek before) is back at the warehouse after having Mason's crystal cleansed.

They joke and they flirt and there's plenty of steamy looks and flustered encounters but Andie knows there's no going back from a kiss. It might mean too much for her and not enough for him and then they're out of sync where he wants more and she wants more but it different ways and that could be a disaster and ruin everything and and and...

But after that afternoon when he asks, there's no words, only gestures and maybe they're finally on the same page and she isn't risking a friend just because of a racing pulse and promise of some excitement. Definitely has the "I love you" realization and it catches her off guard but she didn't think her feelings for him were that deep. She was totally friendzoning herself mentally.

After the kiss though, her brain is going a mile a minute. Did it mean what she thought it meant? Was it just the vulnerability of both of them after a difficult afternoon? Had she given in during a moment of weakness? It felt right, it felt really really right, but after all of Mason's hot and cold she can't help but worry it was the wrong thing or it's going to have disastrous consequences.

Then things move quickly for the auction and she doesn't have as much time to think about the kiss. Kiss or no kiss, she's trying to focus on the task ahead and honestly is just about emotionally shot with guilt over the kidnappings and everything else. When Mason comes to her after and asks to have that night, there's no question or hesitation. She in too deep now, she needs him and is tired of fighting herself and over thinking and after everything else that night, this seems like a small risk to take, one she's more likely to regret not taking.

He curls around her smelling of smoke and sandalwood and she's so tired and ragged and spent emotionally that when she sighs against him she worries that tears might burst out from the sheer relief and comfort. Luckily she's physically to tired for that and the relief wins out and she falls asleep.

#that got long but there were many thoughts by the end #boy I hope we don't end up with an A or N situation where M is now wanting to back out or break up in the next book #I get that M is very confused and there will be ups and downs but don't pull the emotional rug out from under them please #agent m #twc #the wayhaven chronicles #andie bryce #life at nerdy holler

new headcanon that is entirely your fault:

Billy had to do some community service back in California when he was like 15 and he did it at a nursing home. It's where he picked up lingo like 'the heebie jeebies.'

Maybe Neil picked that option because he was sure Billy would loathe it, even more than picking up garbage on the highway. Billy actually really liked helping out there though, even though he wasn't at a point where he could admit that.

Yes!!!

I swear, Billy enjoys the company of old people. They don’t bullshit him, but these people also don’t treat him like garbage. These people lived through the Great Depression and the traumas of both World Wars. They have seen some shit... but they also know how to have fun. Maybe they compensated for their traumas by spoiling the upcoming boomers, but they were out there trying their best and surviving by the skin of their teeth. That said, they can recognize a kid down on his luck in need of some love and kindness. They do not give a single shit what Billy wears or how he talks. They do care that Billy learns good movies, good music, and how to dance.

Neil probably thinks Billy will hate it because he doesn’t like old people. Probably views the generation(s) before him as less responsible, less disciplined, with uncertain futures. So many of them included waves of new immigrants or first generation Americans who took the jobs of “hard-working” third generation+ (White) Americans and refused to become fluent in English. Neil seems the type to blame all of his problems on everyone but himself. He also seems ex-military, but at a point in American history when being in the military didn’t garner the same kind of support as previous generations.

Surprise, surprise, though. Billy feels at home with the Olds.

#asks #nursing home au #ofc then as soon as he gets too comfortable #neil pulls the rug out from under him #taking it away from him #says he doesn’t like all these ideas he’s getting from them

plotting / possible dynamic idea here: you can literally NOT tell whether barton actually likes this person or not. like, for one, he will show up to unalive them at their house one moment and then he'll be like ' HAHA no i'm just kidding ' then he'll ask if he can make them both food while saying something slightly and oddly sad. but it's also unsettling as hell bevause this is what he chooses to say ' yeah, i didn't know how to contact you and i've been wanting to have you for dinner for FOREVER, so i just decided to show up at your house ' and it's absolutely FLABBERGASTING BECAUSE? WHAT DO YOU EVEN MEAN BY THAT?? and then he proceeds to go on about how good the shepherds pie ( or whatever food it may be ) that your muse made. like ☠️ i feel like this has the potential to be both kind of funny in a bad way and frightening, so now i sort of want to do it now... thus, y'all should hmu if you're interested

#barton having a VERY confusing dynamic eith someone is strangely fitting for him though?? like #even in his current relationships... he'll sometimes fluctuate between completely hating them and kind of putting them on a pedestal.#idk why but the reason behind it is probably the most simple one. barton is SUPER wack / hj #okay but i was laughing at this idea for like... a full five minutes so if y'all want to do this then. please do not be afraid to reach out #LOL him just completely pulling the rug out from under someone is so him and i totally mean that in a ' this little bastard ' way / hj JSJS

Who wants to talk about Jackson and Jillson?

Because they are just so strange and awesome. In the books we don't get to see much of their relationship, but I love how unique it is in the show!!

They way they are so in-sync! And how they trade off finishing each other's sentences, to the point where when they do have a disagreement it throws off the whole scene. They support each other pretty much unconditionally, which is fantastic! (They honestly might have the most stable relationship of the whole show, because the only time I can think of them fighting is that one short bit in season two where they tell Curtain about the sleepers)

The way they love each other is so cool, especially when you consider the backstory of them being kidnapped and latching onto each other because they were taken to the Institute at the same time. They'll be right behind the other no matter what, but they're also not afraid to be honest. There are a few times that we see Jillson speaking her mind in a way that doesn't necessarily agree with Jackson, but he takes it in stride and they work it out.

And even though it's incredibly sweet, you can see how lost they are without one another. The fear in Jackson's eyes when Curtain tells him to become his own person and learn who he is, and who does he turn to? Jillson, even though she's as confused and scared as he is. The two of them literally don't know who they are without Curtain, and so they return to the only safety they know: each other.

#honestly though curtain shouldn't have handled it that way #he could have done so many other things #but he just smiled placidly while the kids that he took from who knows where and conditioned and brainwashed #until they could barely be considered young adults #had a breakdown while he pulled the rug out from under them #i love s. q. and martina and i love seeing all the ideas about them being adopted/visiting the benedict household #but i want to see more about mr. benedict helping jackson and jillson #teaching them to actually apply for jobs #getting an education that isn't how to force children to learn circular logic #it's like that one thing about how the kids were eleven/twelve when they met the executives #and probably told mr. benedict and milligan and everyone that they were just adults #but then they actually meet them and it's like #!!!!!#That Is A Child #i just want them to experience love too #save them from themselves as they try and run a cult with jeffers as their only backup #mbs #the mysterious benedict society #jackson and jillson

maybe some day I'll do a post on cbeeduo in living in the circular bc that specifically is one of the most insane iterations of them I have encountered

#like i know theyre just a subplot but??????#idk. the aromantism and the predetermism??? is that anything???#they're like. what if the person who saved your soul didn't love you back #what if the universe was infinite and i came home to play house with you when you didn't recognize me.#what if you found out the person you love most never agreed to any of this #what if we were an aromantic and the most romantic and we loved each other how we could and didn't know if it was enough #what if i knew you but no i didnt but then you were a dozen lifetimes away and all i could do was try not to idealize you too much #what if i never asked for this but it was unfair to you to pull the rug out from under you without explaining who i am #nfjdnfjsmf it's the 2am madness getting to me but literally fr fr i love them so muchhhh #none of this is anything. hope everyone is having a great night ✌️#pebble speaks

i feel like shri’iia should’ve been an oath breaker in act 1…..not finding a lot of opportunities to break her oaths in act two currently but like imagine breaking her oaths via telling minthara where the grove is THEN betraying her when she rolls around because she’s a traitor to lolth ….it’s much juicier than 1v1-ing her in her office imo…

#like it’s messy and kind of elaborate but I LIKE IT …..????#but the annoying thing about me is that if I start thinking so hard about it I will be so tempted to restart my playthrough JUST to do that #like once the idea is in my head I have to do it or else im going to EXPLODE…. telling myself I’ll do this in my next playthrough where #I’ll roleplay her char but also im like… I can just do it NOW…?#just want her to be an oathbreaker guh 😭#and I want her to be an oath breaker in act two bc it’s the start of her girlfail era aka she starts being a decent person and not a #little shit……… but I like tropes where character who thinks so highly of themselves gets the rug pulled from under them #then have an existential crisis bc they’ve based so much of their worth in that image that turns out to be FALSE….. I feel like I want to #do that kind of story for her hihihihi #also her breaking her paladin oaths for the sake of avenging her goddess ?? like kind of juicy to me idk !!!!#like it prob doesn’t work like this but I like the idea that her oaths is based on lolth’s idea of justice and vengeance #and she is serving HER but doing all of that then getting considered an oathbreaker #like what she is doing isn’t enough … and her love to her queen isn’t enough ……#+ having the singular white eye instead of all red like she’s been lacking from the start I kinda like it idk ?????#imagine going through an existential crisis while you have literal brain worms I’d be so stressed

I'll never not be mad at Target and Mattel for how badly they botched the rollout of this toyline, but please look at these adorable pictures of ND Stevenson and the voice actors seeing the dolls for the very first time!

It kind of stood out to me in the turtle tots short that although everyone is upset with Splinter - for telling them off and for how distracted he is from them in the first place - they all cheer up and grab the weapons to play with again the moment he leaves. Except for Leo.

And then he gets nominated as villain in their game so he is not having a good day.

He's also the one doing best with the weapon. The first time Splinter leaves he's as excited to play with the weapons as the rest of them, but he's the only one who doesn't lose control of it. He goes flying because Donnie smacked into him.

I wonder if he was hoping for more. Grabbing the weapons to play with while Splinter's distracted is fun. Realising this might be all you ever get in the way of training... not so much.

#rise turtles #rise leo #and Splinter starts to apologise for failing as sensei before immediately getting distracted from that #pulling the rug out from under them

Heh, thanks for answering my ask. So, basically, Brasso could steal Bix from under Timm's nose and he wouldn't notice. Not that Bix would need stealing, but you get the expression. XD

Nope, he wouldn't have a clue until Bix sent him a space text like "Canceling all future dick appointments with you, please forward my files to my new provider."

#Bix Caleen #Brasso #brixo #in all seriousness my interest in brixo #comes from two people who've just had the rug pulled out from under them #in terms of #a place they belonged #a sense of self #the upending of their whole world #and that's just nifty to play with #but this is pretty funny too #because you know damn well that if Bix decided to dump Timm #for other reasons than that he betrayed them and is also quite dead #she would be trading in an FWB with Timm #for Brasso being her full man 24/7 #andor #star wars
