You know, I read a theory that even makes sense that Kenjaku has an agreement with Geto and that Geto is conscious and knows what's going on, but I think Geto doesn't want to wake up because he has no motivation on earth, he lost his daughters and his Friend, I think he knows what's happening but he doesn't want to go back. What do you think of this theory? sorry for the text
Hi there, anon!!
Kenjaku having to enter a Binding Vow with a previous host (even if they manifest as no more than a lingering apparition in a form of muscle memory and whatnot) when changing bodies is quite an interesting suggestion! It somewhat ties neatly into the 'body vs. soul' discourse we've seen established in the manga. The two are repeatedly rendered inseperable within the story, two sides of the same coin, so whereas Kenjaku's Cursed Technique encompasses the physical body, something else may be needed to bind the soul. This would imply that Kenjaku's immortality is not entirely a product of their innate abilities, but a result of innovation and inventive application of those. How much experimentation did it require for them to figure out optimal conditions for that vow? That seems to be very much in Kenjaku's 'mess-around-and-find-out' fashion, if you ask me. And though I myself gravitate towards a different interpretation -- one that views this 'soul-binding' process as an organic, built-in effect of Kenjaku's CT -- since we don't know the exact mechanics of it, this theory has a right to exist!
Moving on to your next point, I strongly agree with your assessment that Geto has no motivation/desire to carry on with his life. Perhaps 'meaning' in this case would be a quite fitting word, too, because if he was to ever come back to life his resumed existence would lack, at least in his own view, that very thing -- meaning. Justifying past actions and past mistakes retroactively, trying to assign some greater meaning to what was rather an impulsive, emotionally driven reaction of someone who was struggling mentally for a long time with no one batting an eye, compartmentalizing complex reality into imaginary categories -- doing all that Geto essentially ran himself into a corner, a mental dead-end. In an attempt to validate himself and perhaps shut out the overwhelming sense of guilt that would otherwise eat him alive, Geto made delusional, twisted reasoning the core truth of his existence, a basis for his purpose.
What I find particularly interesting is that Geto, being himself the victim of the jujutsu society's dysfunctional system, clearly recognised its shortcomings, but attributed those to a factor only partially at fault. The telltale sign of that, as I see it, would be his confession that he never held any spite against those in Jujutsu High. This renders Geto's antagonism towards non-sorcerers misplaced. The system was put in place for a reason, it's true, but those in favour of whom that system was established should not be held accountable for its injustices. Instead of trying to improve the order, Geto opted for eliminating the reason it exists in the first place.
Where that leaves him is caught up in a struggle to achieve the impossible, breach that accursed gap between the ideal and reality. Even if Geto's goal wasn't impossible for anyone but one person alive, Gojo Satoru, his decade-long endeavour to wipe all non-sorcerers out of existence would still be in vain, meaningless. Because that simply would bear no fruit in regard to fixing the corrupt mentality that rules over the sorcerers' world.
And if it all was for nothing, just fumbling desperately for some solution, for some relief of the burden thrust upon his fellow sorcerers, futile in the end? What if what he put his life on the line for was never going to solve anything, what if he was not reaching anything with it? What if he was wrong all along? It is straight-up terrifying, to drown and erase yourself fully in pursuit of your goal and understand that all you've done, you've done in vain, misguided, wrong. And Geto couldn't undo what he'd done. He could not afford to look back, to slow down, to revaluate and reset, try to set things right. Acknowledging his fault would've been like staring into the sun. So he didn't. He kept pushing forward until he simply no more could. That's why, in my view, Geto's plan regarding the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons reads as low-key passively suicidal. He chose a meaningful way to end his life -- one that would entrust his legacy to his family, make his goals, his ideal, known to both sides. In that regard, his death is no different from Gojo's: he dies so that his dream could live on. Little did he know that this too, in fact, would be meaningless.

I can't believe you think they're treating Choni badly this season or that they have bad storylines and especially that they painted Toni as a villain in 708 when she was simply finally granted some perspective and they tackled an issue with their own writing that always plagued Choni back in the high school days, to show how much they've matured. Their content this season is nothing short of excellent.
Okay this is the second time I'm typing this because Tumblr glitched and wouldn't post the first one. I probably typed too much but I really wanted to give you a solid answer. I will try to keep this more succint but I have a lot of thoughts on this so hopefully it posts this time.
I apparently also deleted my first paragraph so I've typed this section out three times now. I do not think they are treating Choni bad this season. My issue is and will continue to be the setting for this season. After two seasons of them not being together they've now thrown them into a situation in which they "can't" be together and that irks me. I thought when we got confirmation that they were soulmates, that maybe just maybe they'd let them be fully happy in the final season. And that is the full crux of the issue, it's the LAST season. I discuss Riverdale a lot more on my main page (which I encourage you to check out because I do speak about this a lot more in the tags of a lot of my Riverdale reblogs) but i actually just made a post stating that I think this may be Riverdale's best season. They opened this season with one of the strongest episodes I've seen in television thus far. Especially coming from a CW show. I do think this season is also shaping up to be Choni's second best season. They've had a lot of solid scenes and Vanessa and Madelaine are giving it their ALL. That being said, forgive me for hoping the last season would be spent wrapping up happy endings mixed with the usual Riverdale drama. I did not go into this season expecting SO MUCH new plot. And if it wasn't the last season, I wouldn't complain as much. That's always been my biggest gripe, it's the last season. That's all. If this was season 5 or 6 and I knew we had 7 seasons, then I would have nothing to say. Because yes, it's given us some really good content. I just don't want it for the finale. They could've tackled homophobia back when Kevin came out to his dad or when Cheryl came out to Toni. I don't want to see my favorite character forced back into the closet because they decided to set us in one of the worst eras in American history.
Now for my villain comment. I stand by that. I do think that scene framed Toni in a really bad light and here's why: Everything she said was valid and yes, it's an issue I've been wanting them to tackle for YEARS. What she said is not what made her the villain. It was the way they framed the scene that I knew would be misconstrued by the people that watch this show and always have a bone to pick about whatever she says or does. Up until that scene, we were led to believe that Toni's biggest issue with Choni is that she lost herself. But all they show that as, is she's given up writing for cheer. Okay fine, drop cheer and go back to writing. Cheryl wants to see her gf but she's not gonna stop her from doing what she loves. However, Toni breaking up with her felt out of left field to me because she's allowed to be her own person AND still date Cheryl. So I figured maybe they were setting it up for the fact that she doesn't like commitment and the other greaser got in her head about Cheryl being a rich girl too scared to come out of the closet. Also a valid reason. But that's not the scene they gave us. What they gave us was Cheryl asking if the issue was because she was white and Toni saying yes. Nothing up until that point had given us any indication THAT was the issue. What frustrated me even further was that they don't even give them room to have a discussion about it. Toni says her peace and leaves and all we get is a shot of Cheryl crying. She clearly cares about Cheryl enough to have pursued her for that long and then she drops her without even having a discussion?? And so soon after they got together? If we had gotten a scene where the difference of their skin was brought up before that (and that could've have been anything from an offhanded comment to Cheryl laughing about something someone says in their presence she didn't know was meant to be a dig) and we see that register with Toni, it wouldn't have felt off balance. Especially since her and Betty get along and she's white. Her and KEVIN get along and he's white. Kevin and Clay are dating and there seems to be no problem THERE. So they can be okay but she can't date Cheryl because of it? It just felt like after they gave us such a strong opening ep regarding race, to then have her drop that with no nuance didn't sit right with me. All of the digs against Toni that we had seen had been because she was bi or at least "queer adjacent" as far as Evelyn was concerned. The only time we see anyone being racist, is when she's dealing with the adults, never the teens. And I knew someone was gonna watch that and say "oh of course the black girl has an issue with her white gf blah blah blah". That's why I said they set her up to be the villain. Not that she was one. Purely based on how that scene was framed. It just felt like it was missing context. And who knows, maybe they filmed a scene and then cut it but either way, it felt off to me and having it not get brought up again until the Black Athena ep just left me feeling unmoored.

I don’t think they’ll kill Maria within the timeline of TLOU2, mainly because unfortunately I think she’ll die in the third game as part of Tommy’s story. I’m like 99.9% sure Jackson’s falling in the third game and she’s almost certainly going to die there and it’ll push Tommy over the edge even if they’re not back together (and they probably won’t be because she definitely kicked his ass out and he’s got grovelling to do and based on how we last see him, he’s an absolute mess).
So I don’t worry for Maria (for now), but I do worry for the kid. It’s an OC and they can essentially do what they want and that has me worried. Making her pregnant only to have a miscarriage would be terrible writing so the kid will be born but after that? No idea.
Let’s say Jackson is attacked in the 3rd game and it translates to the show. If Maria’s death is the final thing that snaps Tommy, would they kill the kid in the show? Otherwise he’s still got something and that final thing to push him over the edge doesn’t exist. So that’s why I’m worried about the kid. And one: Let’s not cause Tommy any more pain (I’ll die on the hill that his pain, grief and trauma is so painfully overlooked in P2. Everyone focus on Ellie’s grief to excuse her actions but ignores his) and two: Let’s not kill anymore kids, enough die in the story already :/
The kid’s also why I get what you mean about his choice to leave in the second game. Like, leaving your wife is bad enough but your kid??? I know he does it for Ellie’s sake but would he really choose Ellie over his kid? That’s what will seem ooc for me and why I worry with what will happen to it
Sorry, I started rambling a bit there 😂
oh god. oh fuck. i completely forgot. there’s a third fucking game

The other Bronze – Part 9
For my manager @valewosomtb who has to deal with my mushy brain all day, for my @samkerrworshipper who is an absolute legend and for all my patiently waiting anons and followers❤️❤️
Lucy was woken up by an unnatural sound. She couldn’t really place it. So her first instinct was to hit her phone to snooze the alarm. Surprisingly the sound stopped and Luce rolled back over pulling you tighter into her arms as she started to drift off to sleep again. The sound started again. In her half – okay quarter awake brain she registered that it sounded like knocking. Aggressive knocking.
“What the hell??” your sister mumbled as she got more and more aware of her surroundings her brain finally catching on
It was still dark outside but yep – that was definitely knocking. On a door. On her door. Someone was knocking on her front door. Lucy groaned quietly but untangled herself from your grip carefully pushing you over so you would grab onto Ona instead.
When the couple entered their home yesterday you refused to let one of them go. You koala hugged your sister as she – once again – carried you into her apartment as you held on to Onas shirt tightly. Lucy made a straight beeline to lay you down in Onas and her bedroom before leaving you to rest so she could eat something. She should have known better. The second you reconized you were alone again you jolted up with panic calling out for your sister. Who immediately came back running of course knowing how much of a toll it took on you with what happened at Camp Nuo in the afternoon. So she sat down in bed with you holding you tightly as Ona quietly brought some dinner. You saw how the blonde tried to leave again but told her to stay. This definitely wasn't how Lucy imagined her evening to go. In bed by 6PM with you fighting off another nightmare as you clutched to Onas shirt your face on your sisters chest. Ona and her talked quietly for some time before deciding to get ready for bed as well. It was an absolute mission to go threw their nightly routine with you stirring every time one of them was out of your reach. But they managed – somehow.
You know cuddled into Ona who was also still fast asleep as Lucy carefully exit the bedroom to walk quietly down the hallway
“Que??” she grumbled as she opened the door to find a completely demolished Mapí outside her front door “Mapí?? What the hell are you doing here at...” Lucy glanced quickly at the clock “..6.15 in the morning?”
“I came to apologize to the Nena... I really didn't mean to upset her yesterday... I brought chocolate... I didn't know which one she'd like so I bought them all” the tattooed spaniard rambled a slight panic in her voice as she opened the plastic bag she was holding in her hands showing Lucy
“Oh Maps” Lucy sighed softly actually touched by the spaniards antics “It's okay Maps.. she's okay... you didn't have too”
“Yes I had too... I hurt her...” Mapí answered and Lucy saw tears in the spaniards eyes
“Come on in... I'll make you a coffee” your sister opened the door wider and stepped aside for the woman to enter not having the heart to yell at her for basically knocking her door down “in the middle of the night”
“Is the Nena awake?” Mapí asked hopefully and your sister snorted as she put a cup of coffee in front of the blonde woman
“No... it'd be a surprise if she moves her ass out of bed before 9... always slept like a corpse”
“Is chocolate okay... Ingrid said yesterday chocolate helps against all sorts hurtings” the spaniard said empting her shopping bag on the counter “I brought the english one.. Catsbury or something”
“Dear Jesus Mapí... this is like... a whole shop of chocolate” Lucy exclaimed as she looked at the amount Mapí brought along “Where did you get this? I never saw Cadbury anywhere”
“Airport... I had to buy a plane ticket to get to the duty free shops but I knew they had it there” the blonde spaniard answered
“You did what?” Lucy asked confused
“I had to buy a ticket... they wouldn't let me go through security without a plane ticket... Ingrid won't be happy” the spaniard mumbled
“Maps... are you actually mad?” your sister exclaimed
“I... I need to get her something... I know it's not enough but maybe it's a start so she can start to forgive me” Mapí started to fidget with her rings
“Mapí... there's nothing to forgive... don't get me wrong, she'll be over the moon about the chocolate but you did nothing wrong... you didn't kick that ball at her on purpose.. if Kei hasn't called out to her the ball would have hit her in the head and that would've been it... and you couldn't have known not to touch her afterwards.. you just wanted to help” Lucy spoke softly now being really touched by the younger spaniard actions and how she was adamant to fix it
“I... I.. I just need to see that she's really okay” Mapí mumbled
“I can understand that... she has the tendency to worm her way into peoples heart quite quickly... but Maps... you really didn't do anything wrong” your sister said insistently
“Babe? Who are you talk...” Ona suddenly appeared in the doorway of the kitchen looking still asleep “Mapí?” she looked at her fellow team mate confused
“Hola” the blonde waved
Ona just continued to look confused her eyes moving from Mapí to Lucy back to Mapí then to the chocolate
“It's too early... I'm not going to ask and I don't want to know” Ona waved off taking Lucys coffee mug out of her girlfriends hand
“Mapí came to apologize to y/n... she brought presents” your sister gestured to the amount of chocolate.
“Speaking off... she kicked me...” Ona mumbled as she breathed in the smell of the coffee
“Yeah... she does that... the amount of bruises she caused me is unreal” Lucy rolled her eyes as she got herself a new coffee mug out of the cabinet
“Where did you get all that chocolate Maps... shops are closed” Ona now asked looking through the bars
“Don't touch them you thieve!!” the tattooed woman exclaimed as she collected all the chocolate in front of her “I know you... you act like you're just looking and bam... all gone – I went all the way to the airport to buy them so you keep your dirty hands of nenas chocolate”
“Airport?” your sisters girlfriend asked getting more confused by the second
“Yeah... she even bought a plane ticket to get through security” Lucy explained
“Oh Mapí” Ona said softly walking around the counter to hug her friend “You are honestly one of a kind”
“Yeah well... I hurted her” the blonde looked down ashamed
“You didn't Maps...” your sister said again knowing the woman will need to hear it a few more times
“Wait... does Ingrid know?” Ona now asked alarmed
“What exactly should Ingrid know?” Mapí started to fidget again
“María Pilar León Cebrían” Ona scolded her friend “Do not tell me you just ran away from home and brought a plane ticket.. Ingrid will freak out!!!”
“Why would she... she doesn't need to know” the tattooed shrugged her shoulders
“You share a bank account!!! She'll wake up to you gone and a notification for a plane ticket to god knows where” the blonde got frustrated
“Seville... first flight out was to Seville” Mapí provided
“Call her... RIGHT NOW!” Ona shoved her phone into Mapís hands
“Why so aggressive?” the tattooed spaniard bewildered
“YOUR EX IS FROM SEVILLA!!!!!” Ona lost it already imagining Ingrid in tears in their home
“And?” Mapí didn't get it while Lucy bursted out laughing at the sheer chaos this woman contains in such a small body
“I want to hit you so bad right now... what would you think if you wake up to a cold bed and a notification that Ingrid booked a ticket to Oslo? Where her ex lives???” your sisters girlfriend pressed
“Hm...” the two women saw how the wheels in Mapís head started turning “... I would think that she flew there to see her... SHIT”
“NOW she has it” Lucy laughed as Mapí frantically tried to open Onas phone
“Open it” the tattooed spaniard said panicky and pushed the phone back in Onas hand
The young woman quickly typed in her code and handed it back to Mapí. The woman punched in Ingrids number waiting for her girlfriend to pick up
“Ona?” a very sleepy Ingrid answered the phone after the fourth ring
“No amor... it's me” Mapí said quietly turning away from Lucy and Ona
“Maps... are you okay... what happened? Why are you calling from Onas phone?” the norwegian was awake in seconds
“No no... everything is fine... nothing happened... I just couldn't sleep” the blonde talked lowly “... I went to get some chocolate for the Nena... but I'm with them now... I just wanted to let you know that I didn't fly to Seville”
“Seville??” now Ingrid got confused “Why would you fly to Seville?”
“I needed a ticket to get through security” the blonde answered shyly
“María” the norwegian said and her voice was one big warning
“I needed to get to the duty free section... I swear I didn't fly to Seville and I didn't see... her” Mapí started to ramble again
“Home... now” Ingrid growled “We need to talk”
“I... need to wait on the Nena to wake up... I want to apologize” the blonde said slowly
“Okay... then you better make sure Lucy still has coffee when I arrive” and with that the norwegian ended the call
“She's coming here” was all that Mapí said “She wants coffee”
Lucy just sighed – it wasn't even 7AM and her kitchen already transformed into a Starbucks. Suddenly a small whimper was heard from the Bedroom. Immediately Lucy pushed herself of the counter she was leaning against walking quickly down the hallway. Mapí tried to follow immediately getting guilty again just to be stopped by Ona with a reassuring smile
“It's okay Maps... Lucy got it covered” the younger one had her hand on Mapís arm squeezing lightly
“Hey Bubs” Lucy whispered kneeling next to bed carefully stroking some sweaty hair away from your forehead “It's okay... you're save”
“Luce” you whimpered and it broke your sisters heart a little more
“Ssh... it's okay...I'm here...” your sister said keeping her voice down “Calm down... go back to sleep”
“Stay” you whined out as you grabbed her arm tightly
“Scoot over wee one...” was the only thing Lucy said before sliding into bed next to you
20 minutes later you were fast asleep again and your sister carefully left the bed again. With one last glance she quietly closed the door behind her walking back into the kitchen where she found a rather fierce talking norwegian
“Morning Ings” Lucy greeted as she headed straight to the coffee machine
“Bon dia Luce” the norwegian stopped her rant for a second to smile at the englishwoman before returning to scold her girlfriend
“For how long is this going on?” Lucy asked her girlfriend as she leant next to the smiling blonde
“The second she stepped through the door” Ona grinned “Mapí really outdid herself this time”
“I know who will sleep on the couch for at least a month” Lucy laughed quietly
“I swear to god María.. I'm going to buy you a harness too” Ingrid now threatened and Mapí got white as a wall
“No... I don't need” she started but got interrupted by the black haired Scandinavian
“Oh but I think you do” Ingrid said and by the tone she used Mapí knew the topic was over
“Oh man” the blonde spaniard huffed out
Lucy just chuckled using her mug to cover up half her face while Ona wasn't as sneaky and just bursted out laughing. After a minute the atmosphere changed to a comfortable silence.
“Breakfast?” Ona offered smiling actually liking having the other couple over
“I'll help you” Ingrid immediately offered before glancing at her girlfriend “Set the table”
“Sí amor” Mapí mumbled shuffling towards the cabinets like a kicked puppy
“She meant well Ingrid” Lucy mumbled under her breath as she started cutting tomatoes and peppers
“Oh I know... but that doesn't mean I can't use it to my advantage for a few days” the norwegian winked smiling
Lucy just laughed before she heard you whining again
“Duty calls... should I put her back to sleep or bring her out for breakfast?” your sister looked at Ona
“You know her better – even if I would like her to eat something since she hasn't had dinner but you decide” the blonde shrugged
“I see what I can do” Lucy grinned leaning down pressing a soft kiss to her girlfriends lips before leaving towards the bedroom once again
“Hey Bubs...” Lucy said softly as she found you sitting in bed looking frantically around
“You were gone” you panted out
“Was just in the kitchen... breakfast is nearly done... Ingrid and Mapí are here too...” your sister spoke softly as she sat down on the bed next to you but not touching you
“Wanna come with me and join us?” Lucy asked lowly as she now carefully stroke over your cheek
“Need to shower first – feel disgusting” you mumbled closing your eyes enjoying the soft touch of your sisters cool hand
“Okay... I'll wait here okay? Kei texted already too.... you want to call her later?” Lucy asked softly
“Yes please” you sounded so small
“Off to the shower you hop” your sister smiled encouraging “I even let you use my one – door over there”
“Ah yes... the private bathroom” you mumbled before pushing yourself out of bed winching slightly because your wrist was still hurting
“I get you some painkillers” Lucy immediately noticed your discomfort
“They're in there right?” you asked pointing to the bathroom
“Actually no... I put them in the kitchen if you needed some in the night again” your sister grinned
“Ugh... why do you always have to move stuff?? Painkillers... trophies... yourself” you huffed out annoyed
Lucy just laughed immediately knowing what you were referring to. She once moved her FIFA trophy from a shelf to the sideboard for an interview for you to run into said sideboard nearly knocking the trophy of it. You were mortified and refused to pass the sideboard without Keira or herself.
“Go shower... I'll be back with your painkillers when you come out” your sister pressed a soft kiss to your head as you tumbled into the bathroom
“No breakfast?” Ona asked a little disappointed
“She's in the shower... 15 minutes” Lucy smiled slightly getting the pill
“Okay... I'll make her an omelette” the blonde smiled happily
“No need babe... she won't eat it anyway...” Lucy waved off “... she only eats small things after an... let's call it an episode”
“Oh... okay... fruit?” Ona asked immediately catching on – but so does Mapí
“I'm really sorry” the tattooed woman mumbled
“Not your fault Maps... she's okay... she just needs a little time to get back to her annoying self again” Lucy smiled at the blonde who now received a loving squeeze from her girlfriend too “The fact that she still wants breakfast after I told her we have company is a good thing... she's not mad at you Maps... never was and never will be”
“Okay” the spaniard mumbled still not really convinced
“I'll be back with her in about 10 minutes... just act normal... like nothing happens – that's normally the best way for her to cope with it” your sister said as she left again
“Bubs?” Lucy asked into the still dark room
“Are you fucking kidding me???” you came out of the bathroom holding up a strap on harness with Lucys toothbrush
“Oh.... sorry?” your sister looked embarrassed but couldn't hold back the smile tugging on her lips
“You're.... sorry???” you asked outraged “That's a fucking strap on!!! I did NOT need the visual thank you very much”
“Firstly it's just the harness and secondly you walked in on me having sex like... 20 times” your sister rolled her eyes but still smiling widely
“Ew!!” you heaved “I swear you will be sorry when I use your toothbrush to clean the toilets at Camp Nope”
“Come on now” Lucy laughed out loud now “Don't be such a baby about it”
“You let me die a VIRGIN and you use... this” you pulled a disgusted face shaking the leather garment a little
“It makes my ass look good” your sister just couldn't stop teasing you about your find
“Okay..... NO.. nope...not doing this with you... you... you... you... just EW” you shrieked before flicking the leather harness at her
Your sister caught the harness with ease still laughing as you pushed passed her into the hallway mumbling about how you again got scarred for life
“Bon dia Bebita” Ona smiled softly as you entered the kitchen
You just stared at her before a shudder shook your whole body and you chose to ignore her wedging yourself between Mapí and Ingrid. Ona didn't understood what was wrong but just as she was about to ask Lucy entered the kitchen still chuckling.
“What did I do?” Ona asked quietly as she prepared a plate for you
“Nothing... she found the harness and is a baby about it” Lucy still couldn't contain her chuckle at the memory of your face
“Which harness... oh... OH... oh god” Onas cheeks heat up embarrassed as she actually hit the plate with the knife she was using to cut up your fruit
“Not you too...” your sister laughed loudly
“What is happening?” Ingrid asked confused
“Lucy will need a new toothbrush” you grumbled stealing the Norwegians coffee
“You make no sense, lille venn” the black haired woman shook her head “And this looks awfully like my coffee cup”
“M gonna use it to clean the toilets at Camp Nope... after a game day” you grumbled into the mug taking a sip
“Nena” now Mapí spoke up lowly “I want to apologize for yesterday... I really didn't mean it”
“I know Mapí... you don't need to apologize... I want to apologize for scaring you... you didn't know – Lucy should have told you but yet she's hiding quite a lot in her cabinets” you said and smiled at the blonde spaniard as you tried to get one on your sister who just barked out a laugh
“You don't even know half of it, tiny” your sister choked out between laughs
You started to dry heave again as Ona swatted Lucys shoulder quiet hard
“Ah... now I understand” Ingrid smirked “You went through your sisters stuff and found something you shouldn't have”
“I didn't even went through her stuff... it was openly placed” you exclaimed as a VERY embarrassed Ona put a plate in front of you “God only know what she's hiding in her draws”
“You just need to ask, wee one...” your sister was still laughing
“AND god should be the only one knowing... aren't you ashamed talking about that when you have guests?” you looked at her like she lost it
“Who do you think recommended the shop I got the piece in questioning?” your sister couldn't stop laughing as your head automatically snapped towards Mapí thinking since she's the spaniard she would know all the places to purchase something like this
“You???” you asked outraged
“Huh??” Mapí just looked at you bewildered
“Nope Bubs... the other one” your sister smirked as your head now snapped to the other side looking like a deer at Ingrid
“What... I have a girlfriend and a life outside of football” the norwegian shrugged nonchalantly before she bit into a jam covered bread roll
“I expected a lot of you princess norwegian... but not that you're a sex driven vixen” you started to smirk “You're always so... nice... and quiet”
“No she's not” Mapí mumbled under her breath but you heard her anyway – so did Ingrid
“As if you don't love it” the norwegian shot back
“Bubs... breakfast” Lucy now interrupted your little banter with Ingrid noticing how you pushed your fruit around on your plate
“Not hungry” you mumbled
“Half the plate and I let you have some of the chocolate Mapí brought” your sister tried to negotiate with you
“Chocolate?” you asked looking up at her smiling
“Mapí brought it... as an apology” Lucy said “You get some if you eat half the plate”
“That's not fair... it's my chocolate... right Mapí it's mine” you looked at the blonde with big puppy eyes
“Sí... all for you...” the tattooed woman nodded her head quickly
“HA... give me my chocolate” you demanded looking at your sister expectantly
“Half the plate then you get some” Lucy stood her ground knowing she needs to be tough to you right now as you always were a bad eater even more so when you were mentally exhausted
“But I'm not hungry” you whined
“Do I have to call Keira?” Lucy raised an eyebrow
She knew threatening you with Keira was risky but she really just wanted the best for you. But as usual you didn't back down. Instead you had a stare off with your sister while the other three just stayed quiet not knowing how to react. Neither Lucy nor you even blinked just staring at each other. Then suddenly both of you sprung into action pulling out your phones frantically unlocking it to both dial the same contact. Lucy was the split second faster.
“Ha... already ringing... give up already” she smiled triumphal
“Never” you shot back hitting Mapís shoulder repeatedly “Give me your phone”
“I don't have it on me” the spaniard said trying to move away from your swatting hands
“Ona... need your phone... now” you sprung up quickly your chair falling backwards as you rounded the table.
“I... don't think” the young woman started
“You owe me... harness” you growled knowing every lost second was important
“Here” Ona sighed handing you her unlocked phone embarrassed
“You can't use that against her!” Lucy exclaimed still waiting for the other person to pick up
“I can and I will... over and over again” you shot back going through Onas contacts “Who is Obi-Wan... don't answer.. I don't have time...”
“Who are you looking for Bebita?” Ona said rather confused
“HA.. got it” you exclaimed excited hitting the call button
You were more successful than your sister as your chosen person answered her call nearly right away
“Sí?” you could hear the call connect just as Lucy got lucky as well
“I swear Lucy if this isn't important...” you heard Keiras voice
“My sister is mean and tries to force me to eat!” you exclaim whining into the phone
“Que?” the other person asked confused
“She won't eat...” Lucy said quickly to Keira
“My sister... she tries to force food down my throat” you whined again playing the innocent little girl card
“Bebita?” Alexia asked still half asleep “It's 7AM”
“Sí” you exclaimed still playing the innocent act
Your sister and you both quickly recap the morning to the people on your (Onas) phones before both starting to smirk pulling the phones of your ears.
“Keira wants to talk to you” Lucy smirked holding her phone out to you
“Alexia wants to talk to YOU” you smirked even wider as you held your (Onas) phone out to her
“What... what just happened?” Mapí asked her girlfriend and Ona.
Both of them just shrugging their shoulders as you started to whine all over now to Keira and Lucy animatedly spoke to Alexia. About five minutes later both of you hung up your phones looking at each other
“Laps?” you asked raising an eyebrow
“Push ups?” Lucy questioned back
“Three sets of 15... and no chocolate” you grumbled
“Five... after national break” your sister pulled a face
“Bitches” Lucy and you grumbled simultaneously before looking at each other laughing out loudly
“What was that?” Ona now asked the same question as Mapí before
“Sisterly love” your sister grinned and pushed the plate nearer to you “Come on... just a bit okay?”
“I'm really not hungry Luce... I promise I'll eat when I get hungry but not right now” you said chewing on your bottom lip which was a dead give away that you started to get stressed again
“Okay.... I'll just leave it out on the counter okay...” Lucy took your plate away while Ona just raised her eyebrow
“Can someone please explain what happened?” the youngest spaniard huffed out
“We just ratted each other out...” your sister explained shrugging her shoulders “... bit us in the ass as usual but that's how it always turns out”
“Love you Luce” you said before throwing yourself on the couch in a dramatic way just to bounce off it and land with a loud crash on the floor
“Why??” Lucy whined as she made her way over to you “You okay?”
“Yep... peachy” you coughed hard
“Up” your sister said as she pulled you into a standing position holding you up right so could breath better
“Thanks Luce” you said after a few minutes as your breathing returns to normal your head falling forward against the shoulder of your sister who just laid her arm around you holding you closely
“And you say I'm chaotic” Mapí mumbled to Ingrid
“You ARE chaotic... SHE's a walking disaster” the dark haired norwegian pointed out
“Hey Princess Norwegian... I'm just a tad clumsy” you exclaimed
“Princess Norwegian??” Ingrid asked you as she raised an eyebrow
“Pocahontas Norwegian sounded wrong in my head” you shrugged your shoulders
“Uh... does Caro get a nickyname too??” Mapí asked excited
“Guaranteed Goal Norwegian” you said after a minute of thinking which caused everyone to explode in laughter
“Pretty sure she'll love that, lille venn” Ingrid said wiping tears from her eyes.
“Bubs... I've got training this afternoon.. you want to come with me or stay at Alexias?” your sister asked quietly
“Why would I want to stay with the scary woman?” you asked confused
“Because I have training and I'm not going to leave you alone at my apartment... and Alexia has Media today so she won't be at Nuo” Lucy explained patiently
“I can stay here... I'm 16 not 3” you said baffled
“You just fell off the Couch... again” your sister deadpanned “And this time you can't blame it on Tooney...”
“It WAS Tooneys fault... she pushed me” you exclaimed annoyed
“She wasn't even in the room!!” Lucy rolled her eyes
“She WAS!” you huffed
“Okay... you know best who pushed you off the couch being dead to the world sleeping” your sister lifted her hands in surrender
“Can't the OG spaniard stay with me?” you asked looking hopefully at Ona
“I thought she was friendly spaniard?” Lucy looked confused
“Yeah... changed it to OG.. she's not friendly” you shrugged your shoulders again
“¿Disculpe?” Ona asked outraged
“What is it with you spaniards that you always want to dislocate??” you asked bewildered “The pretty spaniard said it too... you are so weird”
“It means “Excuse me” Bubs...” Lucy started laughing again at your cute innocence
“Oh... yeah... you're excused” you grinned at Ona
“What do you mean I'm not friendly??” the blonde asked still shocked
“Friendly spaniards don't scar their girlfriends little sister for live” you smirked
Ona blushed again furiously but kept quiet as Mapí started to chuckle until Ingrid threw her a murdering look
“Stop using the harness to get things out of my girlfriend” Lucy rolled her eyes as you gagged dramatically before looking at her incredulously
“Could you please rephrase that?” you said bewildered
“No... and still I haven't gotten an answer... Training or Alexia?” if Lucy rolled her eyes any more they'll probably get stuck soon
“Not going back to Camp Nope” you said sternly
“Alexia it is then” your sister huffed out happy she finally got an answer texting her capitana immediately
“But” you tried to interfere
“Nope... you're not staying here on your own” Lucy said distracted “I'll drop you off at 1 and pick you up at 5.30 okay... she has Media anyway so you'll be on your own the most time anyway”
“Ugh” you sighed annoyed rolling your eyes for getting back forced into Day care once again “Can't I stay with Keira?”
“She has training too, genius” your sister shook her head in disbelieve
“Okay...” you huffed grabbing a piece of Orange from the plate Ona prepared for you.
“Thank you.. and please... do behave – or at least pretend to behave”
“Bubs come on... we're going to be late...” your sister yelled down the hallway for you to just ignore it texting Georgia still laying on your (Lucys) bed
“BUBS!!!!” you heard again this time more adamant and yet again you ignored it.
While you grew quite close – at least for your circumstances – with the Team Capitan you had no desire to spend your afternoon with her... alone.
“Y/n Tough Pain in the ass Bronze!!!!!” Lucy tried again already on her way to her guest room
You quickly wrenched your Air Pods into your ears just as Lucy opened the door. You pretended to jump a little when she stood next to your bed kicking your ankle lightly.
“Huh?” you asked as you pulled your Air Pod out looking at her questioning
“I can't believe you... we need to GO” your sister ushered you off the bed and pushed you out the room
“I need some stuff....” you complained whining
“Ona packed your bag... MOVE” Lucy kept pushing you down the hallway “If I have to run laps because you made me late I'm gonna room with you at Camp”
Suddenly you basically ran down the hallway grabbing your sneakers on the way out sitting in the Car before Lucy was able to close the door behind her
“Here Bebita... your backpack” Ona smiled from the passenger seat holding out a bag for you as you tried to put your shoes on feeling like a gymnast at Circus de Soleil
“Knew that would work” your sister mumbled as she slipped into the drivers seat and started her car “You still won't room with G...”
“I want to room with Tooney anyway” you shrugged your shoulders
“That won't happen either... the last time you flooded your room because you wanted to wash your stuff in the shower and forgot a sock that clogged the drain and you kept the water on while falling asleep... NOT happening”
“How were we supposed to know that a sock would fit in the drain??” you exclaimed outraged
“Basic knowledge?” Lucy offered while finding your eyes in the rear mirrors
“Fuck you” you grumbled
“And that makes four sets of 15 of push ups.. you know not to swear” your sister grinned as she pulled into a drive way and killed the engine “Behave and don't cause trouble – if you piss my Capitan off you'll regret it...”
You rolled your eyes at her obviously harmless threat and looked into your backpack for the first time
“Orange slices and a Gatorade? What are you... a soccer mom?” you looked at Ona bewildered before leaving the car as you can see Alexia opening her front door
“Have fun Bubs... make good choices” your sister yelled after you laughing as you flipped her off with your left hand as you dragged your backpack behind you like a petulant child
“Hola Cariño...” Alexia greeted you smiling even as you spotted a dark look on your face
“Hi” you grumbled back “To be straight... okay... wrong wording... to be honest from the start... I don't want to be here so I just gonna sit on this couch waiting for the time to count down”
“Nice to see you too... thank you I had a good day... you too? That's wonderful” the blonde said sarcastically “What's with the attitude?”
“Lucy was mean” you grumbled
“What did she do Cariño?” Alexia asked sensing you just need to vent for a second
“I'm 16... I don't need a babysitter... and then she said I had to do another set of push ups because SHE was mean basically calling me stupid... as if the three sets of Keira aren't enough” you started your rant “And then I get Orange slices and Gatorade... again... I'm 16... not 5.. I'm still growing – I need food... not.. this”
“Done?” the blonde asked and you nodded “Okay... you won't believe it but I have food here too... and I even told Ona I would cook for you – so that front is covered... As for the push ups... I can make Lucia do them with you if you prefer but I don't think so since you're both highly competitive and probably do push ups until your arm break and I still need her for team purposes... and don't see this afternoon as being under my watch instead see it as a... how do you say... chill hangout... I have three Interviews all about 30 minutes long but you are welcome to either join or just stay out here” the catalan explained
“As if I could join in on spanish interviews” you rolled your eyes for good measure but in secret you were touched at her actions
“One is with CBS Sports... that one is english...” the blonde shrugged her shoulders as she lead you into a spacious living room pushing you gently down on the couch before moving on to the open kitchen
“Scotty?” you asked excited
“I think Alex Scott will be there, sí” Alexia answered from the kitchen where she prepared a light snack for you.
“Oh” you said sadly
“You don't like Alex Scott?” the catalan asked surprised
“Oh I absolutely love Alex... but I thought we're talking about Jill... I miss my Godaunt” you sighed realizing how long you haven't seen Jill
Mixed olives, fried baby squid, meatballs and chorizo were placed in front of you a minute later with some bread. You looked interested at the different dishes and then questioning at Alexia
“Tapas” she smiled “olives, meatballs – my mamás recipe, chorizo and baby squid”
At the words “baby squid” you made a little whiny sound and used a book that was laying around to push the plate with the offending meal as far away from you as possible. Alexia laughed out loudly at your pained facial expression
“Not a fan of sea food Cariño?” the blonde was still chuckling
“Bleh” you pulled a face
“It's okay... but I tell you know that choosing Barcelona as a get away was a bit of a wrong move – we live of Sea food” the catalan smiled
“You also live of fancy ham... Luce said something about jamming ibisco” you said nonchalantly
“Jamón Ibérico Cariño... very delicious” Alexia confirmed “I'll text Olga to pick some up on her way home”
“Olga was... girlfriend right?” you asked wrecking your brain if it was a real fact or if you made it up in your original high brain
“Sí.. she'll be home later” the blonde smiled glancing at the clock “I need to go – will you be alright alone?”
“Sí... I still have orange slices” you huffed out sarcastically
“Don't forget about the squid” the catalan laughed as she took the plate with the baby squid back to the kitchen as you gagged loudly “You're welcome to watch TV but not too loud please...”
“Okay...” you said as you already were looking for the remote and Alexia was about to leave “Oh and pretty spaniard?”
“Sí?” Alexia rolled her eyes at the nickname but smiled
“Thank you” you said and offered her a small smile
“You're very welcome Cariño” she smiled back and left you to your own.
About 5 minutes later you heard her taking quickly in spanish and you concluded (genius that you are) that the interview had begun. You tried to switch on the TV to get interrupted in your usual “press all buttons until TV turns on”-process as the doorbell rang. You weren't sure what to do since you were also just a guess so you decided to ignore it. The doorbell went off again... and again.. and again. You heard the door of Alexias (you presume) office open
“Cari... can you PLEASE get the door?” she shouted to you
“What if it's a lunatic???” you shouted back
“Punch him – we'll deal with the police later” the catalan answered shortly before disappearing again
“Okay” you said to yourself, shrugged your shoulders and pushed yourself off the couch to open the door
You already had your fist raised as you grabbed the handle turning it just slightly as the door got pushed open and some blonde hair passed past you in a flurry
“Excuse you???” you exclaimed as you follow the intruder
“Don't tell anyone I'm here” Mapí turned around looking around the living room “Ale already doing interviews?”
“Yeah....” you said kind of overwhelmed “What are you doing here?”
“I know you'd get bored so I'm here to offer my company” the blonde grinned widely
“Let me guess... no one knows?” you smirked
“Told Jonatan I'm not feeling good.... please don't tell on me” Mapí begged “Training without you isn't fun”
“We never trained together” you pointed out “But it really is boring... you can stay”
“Cariño?? Who was at the door?” Alexia now asked as she came out of her office while you pushed Mapí quickly behind the couch where she landed with a loud thud and a gritted spanish curse word left the blondes lips
“Neighbour... asked something in spanish... I said “no spaniard” and shrugged my shoulders.. I didn't punch him... he used the dislocate word and left” you said hopefully which kind of tipped Alexia off
“Older man or younger?” she asked suspicious
“Ehrm... around mid 40s?” you said but it came out as a question
“And now the truth, hm?” the catalan smiled fake
“A friend....” you answered vague
“And where is said friend?” the blonde just didn't let go
“I don't see her at the moment” you answered confident – which technically wasn't a lie... you didn't SEE Mapí at the moment.
“Cariño... I give you one and ONE warning only... I will make you sit with me in my office if you cause trouble” Alexia said lifting her index finger threatening “Same for you María León”
“HOW?” you whined throwing your arms in the air
“Please... as if María would let the opportunity pass to be unsupervised with you also she used a word that I banned her from using... I'm surprised that she didn't rope Patri and Pina in to join her.. what did you tell Jona?”
“Not feeling well” a small voice came from behind the couch “Patri and Pina send their regards but Jona wouldn't let them leave”
“Unbelievable” the blonde huffed “Only and LAST warning... no trouble... I still have two interviews”
“Yes ma'am” you saluted half heartily
“Sí Ale... gracias” Mapí said grinning as her head appeared from behind the couch looking like a meerkat
“I can't believe I'm doing this” Alexia mumbled to herself but left again for her next interview
“Okay... what do you want to do Nena?” Mapí asked the second the office door fell close
“Dunno... I don't know my way around here” you shrugged your shoulders
Mapí just rolled her eyes and hit you with a pillow. You looked dumb folded as the blonde spaniard started to laugh hysterically
“You... didn't” you said shocked
“Your face...” Mapí laughed just as she got hit by a pillow in the face
“Oh Nena... that was a mistake” the blonde said evilly as she grabbed your pillow hitting you over and over again as you just had time to pull your arms up to your face to keep it save. Nonetheless you started laughing trying to get away from Mapís assault. You kick the spaniard lightly against the tight which caused her to tumble and you used the moment to roll off the couch getting successfully away. You grabbed a new pillow now whacking the blonde over and over the head from behind the couch. Mapí recovered quickly launching herself at you just to miss you as you stepped aside still laughing. The blonde pushed herself up starting to chase you around the couch pillow ready to hit you again once she's close enough. You chased each other a while around the living room before deciding to basically use the whole apartment. Of course that wasn't such a great decision as you stumbled over a small step between the living room and the hallway and flew against a cabinet. Thankfully you turned yourself so you would just sacrifice your left shoulder instead of your face. Mapí immediately stopped behind you watching with big eyes as Alexias Ballon d'Or started to tumble and then went topple over the edge of the shelf. You looked up from your half sitting position at the bottom of the cabinet quickly shuffling backwards as you saw the trophy falling down. It missed you by mere centimetres as it crashed into the floor with a loud bang and split in two half as you watched the Ball part roll away slowly.
Immediately the office door got ripped open and Alexia looked down the hallway
“Everythings good” you yelled hoping to prevent the catalan to come over to explore what the crashing sound was
“I told you... keep it down” she scolded the two of you before going back to her interview
“We're fucked” Mapí whisper yelled “That trophy was holy to her”
“We're not fucked if we repair it... I didn't even knew it could brake... isn't that thing unholy heavy... why does it break so easily??” you said back just as much panic in your voice as Mapí had seconds before
“HOW do you want to repair a Ballon d'Or???” the blonde asked her voice still low
“Hot glue?” you shrugged your shoulders having no idea
“We don't have hot glue” Mapí looked at you like you lost it
“You have a brain too you know... now would be a good time to use it” you snapped
“I'm trying... but all I can think about is how Ale will rip my head off... then my brain is lost too” the blonde whined
“What if we just put it in between the books? Like using the books to hold the ball in place” you mused looking at Mapí expectantly
“Better than my idea of hiding in a tree and befriend a squirrel and train it to bring us food and water” she said already starting to grab all the books that were laying around
You quickly helped Mapí retrieve as many books as you could find and soon you had the shelf filled with books
“Okay... you grab the bottom part I get the bloody ball and we just stuff it in there and then never mention it again” you huffed
“Deal... if she EVER finds out... it was already broken as she got it” Mapí nodded as you grabbed the golden ball and placed it in its socket hoping it would stay there.
Thankfully it did and you two carefully walked backwards as if you feared that one to hard step would break the Trophy again.
“Jesús Mará y José!!!!” Alexia exclaimed as she entered the living room where you and Mapí chilled on the couch snacking on your orange slices
“WHAT happened here???” the blonde asked shocked turning around herself taking in her basically destroyed living room
There were pillows everywhere, the lamp from the side table on the floor (thankfully still intact), magazines scatter all over the floor, pictures were now hanging askew on the wall and her coffee table was now in the middle of the room when it was just in front of the couch about 45 Minutes ago.
“There... were robbers... we fought for our lives” Mapí said quickly – too quickly and you slapped your forehead
“I don't know if I should yell or just leave” Alexia said to herself taking in her living room once again
“I vote for the latter” you said smiling hopefully
“I second that” the tattooed spaniard nodded
“I... I... no... I can't do this right now... clean this up – when I come back here in 30 minutes I want a clean room and you María will leave immediately after you are done cleaning up... if not you both run laps until your legs fall off – and then some more” Alexia shook her head leaving the two of you to clean up your mess
“That went better than expected” you grinned as you heard Alexia mumble in the hallway
“I'm never going to have children – and if I do I raise them to be fully functional human beings” the catalan said to herself still shaking her head in disbelieve
It took Mapí and you a total of 18 minutes to tidy up the living room. After that the blonde spaniard left not without checking with you if it's really okay. You send the tattooed woman on her way telling her you're tired anyway and that she better think of a good excuse she could give her girlfriend for just fucking off from training. When you heard the door fall close you flopped down on the couch got comfortable and fell asleep in an instant.
“Alexia... you still with us?” Micah asked as he noticed that the blonde spaniard was kind of distracted
“Sí – I'm sorry” Alexia snapped back to her interview with CBS
“You look distracted... is everything alright?” Alex Scott now asked seeing the deep frown Alexia was showing
“Yeah.... a.. friend had some errands to run and asked me if I could watch her sister... and it's just TOO quiet now” the catalan explained quickly getting more and more suspicious of the quietness in her apartment
“If you want to check on her that's totally okay... “ Alex reassured the spaniard who looked at her thankfully standing up quickly
She made her way to the living room already ready to yell at you and Mapí for whatever shenanigans you were up to but the only thing she found was an (okay) cleaned up room with you fast asleep on the couch. Alexia quickly covered your sleeping form with a blanket and left to not disturb your sleep which she knew you desperately needed
“Everything okay?” Micah asked as Alexia sat back down in front of the camera
“Yes... she's asleep – that's why it's so quiet... but you know how it is with kids... the quieter it gets...” the blonde smiled
“... the more trouble they get into... don't tell me” Thierry rolled his eyes for good measure “How old?”
“16” Alexia laughed at the surprised face Thierry is showing “She's an absolute gold star but a walking disaster”
“Sounds like someone I know” Alex threw in
“Oh yes – you definitely know her” the catalan winked
“Oh my God... how did you end up on BB duty... my condolences to your nerves” the former Lioness laughed
“Condolences?” Alexia asked confused looking at Kate
“Condolencias” Kate Abdo translated
“Oh... yes... thank you – I can confirm my nerves are ready to retire...” the blonde catalan laughed
“Who's BB?” Micah asked confused looking at Alex for explanation
“A friends little sister” the brown haired woman grinned and winked at Alexia
“You not telling us?” Thierry sighed
“No... because it's a private matter – what isn't tho is my midfield” Alex circled back to the original topic
15 minutes later the interview got wrapped up and the live part was over. Alexia was about to end the call as Alex spoke up
“Alexia... give her a hug from me, yeah... she's greatly missed around here” the brown haired woman smiled warmly
“I will pass it on” the catalan smiled back and ended the call
She left her office to quickly throw a glance into the living room if you woke up but you still snored lightly on the couch turned on your side your head buried in a mountain of pillows so that Alexia was completing if you were in danger of suffocating. But after hearing you sigh happily in your sleep she decided to just leave you be. The catalan quickly texted Olga to let her know to be quiet when she entered the apartment and told her she would hit the gym – which was a former guest room that got converted into a home gym. Her girlfriend answered quickly with a thumbs up and Alexia walked down the hallway getting changed and starting to work out the door of her gym slightly open to hear you if you needed something. You slept like a Bronze. Keira once described it as “a dead corps which got run over with a truck five times to be sure it's dead... that's who Bronzes sleep”. Both you and Lucy disagreed loudly to just be shut down with one look by Keira. You didn't notice Alexia checking on you twice or that her girlfriend Olga came home starting to prepare dinner straight away. You DID wake up when your nose registered food tho – just like Lucy you could eat like a harvester. Just not every time while your sister would be happy to eat anytime and anywhere. Your brain still foggy from sleeping you shuffled over to the kitchen not realizing that it wasn't Alexia in the kitchen but Olga so you just flopped down on a chair at the island as you made yourself known
“Bon... whatever you say at this time of the day... what time is it anyway?” you mumbled looking confused
“Buena tardes” the brown haired woman answered as she turned around smiling “But Hola always works”
“Bon Buenos tartlets then...” you mumbled scratching your head still not noticing you weren't talking to Alexia
“No.. just Buenas tardes” the woman laughed and you thought her laugh was different.
That was the moment you looked up and was met with Olga Rios face. It took you a second to process the face before springing backwards knocking your chair over stepping backwards successfully falling over said chair flying backward screeching panicked
“STRANGER DANGER!!! STRANGER DANGER!!!” you yelled loudly getting tangled up with the chair as Olga couldn't do anything except for looking at you confused and shocked.
Your yelling brought Alexia on site as she came running down the hallway. She rounded the corner to the living room quickly to get rooted in her spot taking in the scene in front of her. Olga behind the kitchen island looking shocked and confused as you started to fight a chair on the ground. Olgas eyes made contact with Alexias and she looked at her blonde girlfriend helplessly.
“Cariño” Alexia said rather loudly to get your attention
“Stranger Alexia...” you panted out your leg stuck in the back rest of the chair
“Cari... calm down...” the catalan said softly as she carefully stepped towards you
“There's a stranger in your kitchen and I have to calm down???” you asked bewildered
“Not a stranger Cariño... that's Olga... say hi to my girlfriend Cariño” Alexia chuckled as she grabbed your ankle stilling it
“Olga the girlfriend?” you asked suspicious looking up from your spot on the floor
“Sí... mi amor” the spaniard smiled
“Not a clue what that meant...” you shrugged your shoulders as Alexia tried to free your foot from the chair
Finally the catalan got your foot freed and helped you standing up. You were still slightly wary of the other woman and pushed yourself partly behind Alexia
“It's okay Cariño... no stranger or danger... just Olga” the catalan said softly as she noticed you hiding behind her
“Buenas tardes” the woman in question smiled heart warming
“Hi” you said carefully trying to get a read on the new woman
“She needs a moment” Alexia explained to her girlfriend
“It's okay... maybe we can get to know each other over some Gambas al ajillo” the woman smiled
“No Gambas” you screeched shocked “Ew”
Alexia couldn't help herself but burst out laughing at your face and the offended look her girlfriend threw your way
“She doesn't like sea food, mi amor... I'll just whip up some Albondigas... I'll share the Gambas with you” the blonde chuckled as she leaned over the counter pressing a soft kiss to her girlfriend lips which made you gag loudly
“¿Disculpe?” Alexia raised her eyebrow as she turned towards you
“Stop dislocating shit...” you exclaimed knowing how to annoy the spaniard “... and stop doing... that.. got that at home enough”
“I'm kissing my girlfriend excuse me for showing affection to the woman I love” the catalan answered sarcastically
“You have children in the room” you shot back
“Really?? I didn't noticed before when you were eating orange slices” Alexia smirked
“Olga... Alexia is mean” you whined to the woman
“Excuse me?!” the catalan said bewildered and annoyed at the same time
“Alexia... Deja al pequeño” the darker haired woman smirked at the footballer
“¿Disculpe?!!!” the catalan questioned outraged
You didn't understand one word BUT at the tone Alexia used you knew Olga just defended you.
“She just yelled Stranger Danger at you!” Alexia exclaimed
“You could have told her that I would be home later so she wouldn't be as surprised” Olga waved her girlfriend off and you smirked
To you sadness it was the exact moment the door bell rang. Alexia huffed annoyed as she turned to open the door. On the other side was your smiling sister. The catalan stepped to the side to let Lucy in.
“Hey Bubs... Olga” your sister greeted still smiling
“Hola Lucia” the brown haired woman smiled “¿Te quedas a cenar?”
“No gracias. Todavía tengo que empacar para el campamento y este de aquí también necesita empacar” Lucy answered and pulled you into her side
“Shit... you really do speak spanish” you said in awe
“Told you” she grinned kissing the crown of your head “Were you good for Lex?”
“So good” you smiled pressing yourself against her body
“Really... so why is there a clip that went viral of Alexia in the middle of an interview with a loud crash in the background and her cussing you and Mapí out under her breath?” your sister asked grinning widely
“Ay dios mio” the catalan exclaimed throwing her hands up
“Sorry Ale” you said putting on an innocent look
“No you're not” the catalan smiled “... it's just who you are... and now off you go and pack for camp”
“Ugh... don't remind me... travel day with Lucy is exhausting” you rolled your eyes and carefully hugged the spaniard “Bon arrivederci” you winked before running out to the car where Ona is waiting
“Look after her Lucy” Alexia said quietly “She is precious – but she's hurting so much... I can see it in her eyes... there will be a time when she needs you and you better be there for her”
“I know... I know Lex... and I hope that it helped her to come here...” Lucy smiled sadly
“I think it did – I think she sees that family is more than blood... even Mapí” the blonde chuckled
“Mapí would give her life for y/n” your sister smiled as she watched you jumping on Onas back
“We all would...” Alexia smiled watching you too as you wrecking balled into her spanish national teammate
“See you in two weeks Capi” Lucy smiled as she grabbed your back pack ready to leave
“Adiós Lucy... keep an eye on her” Alexia smiled as she quickly hugged the englishwoman before she saw Ona trying to stuff you into the backseat of the car with you pushing your feet into the door laughing loudly
“Take care Cariño” the blonde spaniard mumbled as she closed the door and turned to her girlfriend who was smiling
“You like her” Olga smiled
“I do... she's special” the catalan said “She went through so much and still she has a heart of gold”

Puppy Love - W.A.
Wednesday Addams x F!Reader
Summary: You come up with a ploy to make Wednesday Addams fall for you, it works. Well, it kinda works.
Warnings: My attempt at writing Wednesday
Word Count: 1k+
Requested by: my first request by an anon ily, this one’s for you <3
Tumblr media
There was an unspoken routine between Wednesday and you. It started one night when you were tossing and turning in bed, thinking about the crush you had on the raven haired girl.
It was honestly annoying, how much she occupied your mind. And you’d decided to do something about it, or it would eat you alive.
You thought long and hard about what to do, but the only idea you came up with didn’t reassure you at all.
And that was how you ended up on the other side of Wednesday’s dorm room, feet shuffling nervously as you knocked a few times.
The door immediately opened, but to your surprise, a certain werewolf had answered instead.
“Y/N! What are you doing here?” She mumbled, rubbing her eyes and stifling a yawn.
Your nervousness dissipated slightly, happy to see a friendly face.
“I’m here for Wednesday. Do you think she’s ready for class yet?” You managed to get out, and watched as Enid’s confusion turned into a small smirk. She was the only one who knew about your crush on Wednesday, and teased you relentlessly at every opportunity about it.
“I’ll go get her, i’m sure she’s ready.”
And Enid left, but not without one last wink, laughing as red started to paint your cheeks.
After a couple minutes, and multiple sounds of squealing and clapping from the other side of the door, it opened to reveal Wednesday.
“What is it Y/N?” Wednesday gave you an unimpressed glare, making her annoyance about you disrupting her time clear.
You rubbed your neck and gathered up the courage to look her in the eye.
“I want to walk you to class today.” You said quietly.
It was a weird sight to see, you were usually so… confident, and sure. You were almost identical in personality to Enid, but somehow even more cheerful and bubbly if that was possible.
And even though Wednesday would never admit it, it pulled at her heartstrings just slightly to see you so vulnerable.
She had grown, not fond of you, god no, in the past few months but sort of comfortable in your presence.
Wednesday contemplated her options silently, making you suffer in the uncomfortable silence for a few more minutes.
“I’ll allow it.” Was all she said before walking past you and into the hall, leaving you to trip over your own feet, stumbling after her.
____________
It seemed like that was all the permission you needed, because every day after that, you took it upon yourself to come and pick up Wednesday at her dorm at 8 o’clock on the dot.
She started to wonder if maybe she shouldn’t have let you walk her that day, but Wednesday couldn’t help but feel like maybe it was right.
She felt weirdly…nice around you, and didn’t mind your talking and rambling as much as she thought she would.
It started off small, little changes that you never noticed. Wednesday would start waiting for you, everyday before class, staring at her dorm door as if the longer she stared the faster you would show up.
You swore that you could see the tiniest smile play on her lips when you made dark jokes, but it was gone just as fast as it had appeared.
__________
On one rainy day, when you had gotten up out of bed, a sharp pain immediately shot in your brain, making you hiss. You had the headache of the century.
“Oh god.” You muttered to no one in particular, groaning at the pain that still wouldn’t go away.
Wednesday.
You realize with a start, you had forgotten to walk her! Hurrying to put your uniform on, silently cursing yourself for being so damn stupid, you swung the door open. Determined to catch up to Wednesday and apologize.
What you didn’t expect was Wednesday standing in front of your dorm room, arms crossed in front of her chest.
“Where have you been?” She questioned, eyes narrowing at you.
You were about to explain yourself when you stopped short, and smiled, “Why? Did you miss me?”
There were very little times Wednesday was rendered speechless, but this was one of them. You savored the moment while you could, smile tugging on your lips threatening to break.
“What nonsense. You were late. I expect you to be punctual when you pick me up.” Wednesday bit back, but you couldnt help but notice the slight tint of red on her pale cheeks.
“If you had to know, I woke up with a killer headache. I was just going out to see you.” You explained, while adjusting your uniform in the mirror. Hey now that you had the time, you had to make sure you looked good.
There was a moment of silence before Wednesday answered.
“Don’t do it again. Now, let’s get going. Take an advil for that headache.”
She turned on her heel and walked off, back as stiff as a stick.
“Okay, Wednesday.” You laughed out with a shake of your head.
_______
You never showed up in front of Wednesday’s dorm after that day, instead she was the one to pick you up.
She claimed it was because ‘You were irresponsible and late and she couldn’t bear to put up with such nonsense’ but you knew she didn’t really mean it by the way her glare never quite reached her eyes.
After a particularly grueling day of school, you were ready to lock yourself in your room and sleep the next 24 hours off. However, Wednesday had a proposition you just couldn’t turn down.
“Do you want to come back to my dorm and stay with me during my writing hour y/n?” She had asked on the way back, you guys walking shoulder to shoulder, but not quite touching.
You stilled for a moment, unsure if you heard her right.
When Wednesday noticed your change in pace, she cleared her throat and started again, “I mean- you do not have to if you want, it was just a suggestion.”
The grin on your face would be considered stupid if you cared for a second how you looked.
“I’d love to Wednesday.”
You knew how important her writing time was, and if she wanted to share that with you, you were more than honored.
You and Wednesday both didn’t speak when you moved from your spot on her bed to a spot beside her desk, just inches away from her legs.
And you didn’t mention anything when she moved her legs slightly to press up against your back.
And you certainly did not say anything when you closed your eyes, and Wednesday thought you were asleep, and softly placed a hand on your head, stroking just a bit as she continued typing away at her novel.
Tumblr media
hey y’all.

hi, i sent in a comment back when one (not me) anon said they were unfollowing due to constant cisnormativity and gender essentialism in the polls. you didn't answer my ask back then, or maybe the ask disappeared since tumblr does that sometimes, but i would appreciate it if you would answer this, because i think it would be beneficial for everyone to actually talk about this openly.
i'd just like to ask, knowing that you may edit polls submitted to be more inclusive and clearer, why is the recent poll about preferences for a partner's pubic hair specifically for people with penises? and if there is another poll coming that's the same but for people with vaginas, i'm wondering why it would be necessary for a question like it to be separated like that. personally i don't see how that would make a big, or more importantly an interesting difference in the results. to me all it seems like it's doing is excluding intersex people and supporting this idea of "the two sexes" being fundamentally completely different from each other and someone's genitals playing a big part in defining people's preferences.
i'm not intending this as a hate comment, but as a genuine request for conversation around this subject, as you yourself said to the anon that unfollowed, that you'd like to hear about their side. i know i'm not said anon, but i think we're kind of talking about the same subject here, and recently there's been a lot of polls here separating people via genitals, and it's beginning to make me feel a little uncomfortable, in big part due to it implying that a huge portion of people here see gender and/or sex as a binary, and that people on the opposite ends of that binary are fundamentally different from each other due to their sex/gender.
apologies for the long ask, i just really wanted to avoid misunderstandings so i may have rambled a bit more than necessary.
Hi! Thanks for bringing up your concerns. The way I interpreted that question is that anon was curious whether pubic hair affects the sensation on the penetrating partner‘s penis, or whether pubic hair can be a hindrance– for example, acting as a barrier, or adding friction.
The original question was only aimed at people with penises, and I hadn’t planned on posting any variations for different genitals because (from what I’m assuming about anon’s curiosity) the question is so specific in asking about the sensation and/or logistics for a penis navigating around hair. I don’t think it would be helpful or yield any interesting data to post the same poll for people with other genitals. 
In this case, I think my error was in not specifying “does a partner’s pubic hair affect the sensation on your penis during penetration?”. That’s the question I think anon was trying to ask, but unfortunately it was more clear in my and anon’s heads and didn’t come across in writing as clearly as I thought I was saying it. 
Also, in response to the sentiment that there have been a lot of genital-related polls lately, there have been about 3 in the past 2 weeks, or about 3%. (7 polls per day; 49 polls per week; 98 polls every two weeks.) I understand if it seems like a lot, but the actual saturation is fairly low. I'm saying this not to dismiss you, but in the hopes of reassuring you that this blog is not shifting to become more heavily focused on separating people's genitals.
I got a number of helpful messages about the previous conversation on dyadism. I didn't respond to them due to some things in my personal life that limited my time, but I read them and have them saved as a reminder to myself when writing up polls so that I can continue to make these polls more inclusive of intersex people– I promise those messages weren’t ignored.

CONTENT WARNING(S): sfw, fluff, reader has no specified profession, bumped into each other and person B picks up papers for Y person trope, strangers -> friends -> lovers (established relationship).
COUNT: 600 words.
I/B: i wanna show you my challenge LMAOO

A/N: ahhh i loved doing this rec lol. i couldnt come up with a specific job for reader sjejeje IM SORRY. i keep doing the same ones over and over too. 😭🙏🏽 so it's left undecided. it's not that serious but im mentioning it anyways lol. AND I KID YALL NOT, THINKING ABOUT THAT TIKTOK IS WHAT INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS LMAOSNSNMESK. anyways thank you, anon! ☠️
Tumblr media
most people would think that you two wouldn't go or be together… but y'all together real bad. like real mf bad.
the one thing about you two is that he can understand you without you having to say anything.
this inclination to understand what you're thinking is what helped you bond.
it started off with him literally being like,
"Watch where you're going, what's wrong with you???"
You gave an apologetic look, one close to tears as his outburst startled you greatly. You were already late for a meeting and now you were being yelled at. On top of that, this awful interaction had just caused you to drop all your papers that were needed for your job.
You mutter an apology and kneel down to pick up the scattered papers. Bakugo lifts his brow as he watches you scramble and sighs a cuss under his breath at how passive you are. He begrudgingly bends down to start helping you pick up your stuff, feeling bad for his upfront behavior. He's much quicker than you probably because he mixed up the papers around, but he stands back and fixes them into a pile, looking down at your gaping expression at his aggressive niceness.
"Get your shit, c'mon."
You nod and frantically collect your stuff as you stand, pointing in the direction you need to go whilst he holds your stuff for you.
you're the type of person who has to get close to talk to people, (cough) ex; weather report (cough).
after Bakugo being intrigued about your—let's be real—odd way of communicating, you two became friends and it was inevitable that you two would start dating.
Bakugo would never admit it but he liked the fact that you so close to him to talk wksksksks like it's such a weak spot for him.
+ prefers to keep you close anyways.
he knows that you're pretty freaking smart since he did some snooping around when you first became friends to know more 'bout you.
+ because y'know…. you're that much of a talker lol. 😭
your answers were usually short and sweet and there were rarely times where your voice would inflict and you could ramble about something you were passionate about.
since you two weren't in the same careers although the same field, you had a lot of well rounded-ness about you.
one of the days when you accompanied him to the gym, he jokingly challenged you to spar with him, even going as far to pick you up and bring you to the mat.
he had given you an onslaught of tickles, one that had you giggling and playfully pushing him away until it was tew much and you shoved him a little tew hard.
Bakugo was so stunned at how hard he had fell back on his own butt. that doesn't normally happen when he's not sparring with a fellow hero.
that day he left you be, but later on he'd tease and test you to see how much you were truly hiding.
of course he wasn't forcing you into situations you didn't want to be in, but he finds it so amusing of how much you can truly exert in strength being the twerp you are.
there's even a few times where he bribes you to lift heavy ass weights just to admire how strong you are lmaoo.
he's genuinely so into you that everything you do keeps him entertained.
never would he have guessed the quiet person he had never glanced at before could be so…. unique.

hiii! could u write a fic where reader and xavier are best friends and one day she notices those scratches on his neck so decides to ask him about it, but he snaps at her and they start fighting, and he says stuff he doesnt mean like he tells her that she's annoying cus she never leaves him alone blahlbah she feels bad then she leaves and after a few days they finally talk again and he apologizes and they kiss 😝
TALK | xavier thorpe x gn!reader
"y/n, please let's talk."
note: ill do you one better anon, theyre in a relationship now.
Tumblr media
ever since wednesday addams made an appearance to the school, xavier acted strange. you for sure noticed that he has been hanging out more at the shed rather than with you, was it because of her? you were never the type to be jealous but ever since that girl enrolled this semester you couldn't shake off the feeling of how she unconsciously has a choke hold on your boyfriend.
it's been a couple days since you've visited the shed, there he was working away on a piece of art, hair tied up in a bun, eyebrows knitted together in a frown. he usually enjoys art, this was the first time you've seen him troubled. there was a unique pattern in the shed, supposedly. it appears that he has painted, sketched and created the same creature in different angles. you were beginning to think there's more to the story than wednesday herself. xavier wasn't the type to communicate unless asked to, so you did.
"what are you doing here?" his frown deepened, you hum, folding your arms. "you tell me, mr. thorpe. you haven't answered my calls, texted or even waited for me at the quad so i can walk you here." you told him, the tension rising as he puts his brush down. once he fully turns toward you, the cheep light bulb of the shed illuminates 3 small scars on his neck. you frowned, taking a step forward as you grab his chin to face another way to make the scar more exposed and visible to you. your hand falls to the side, "care to explain?" you ask him, raising an eyebrow. "look y/n, it's no big deal-"
you didn't listen to him at this point, no big deal? he wasn't even spending so much time with you, he was always chasing that interesting new student and now when you try and make things a little more clearer you find scratches on his neck. what part of a no big deal was that.
"xavier. you have been following that pigtailed magnet for trouble, i went here to talk to you about it, and see you've painted the same monster in about 13 artworks, and a scar on your fucking neck. please be honest with me and do not say that it's not a big deal. it is when you ignore your partner and run off in your tiny little shed rather than express your feelings towards me lately- hell you didn't even bother to let me walk you here." you ramble, silencing him in a heartbeat. frustration was evident in your face and xavier looks like he won't back down so fast.
"y/n, i already told you it's not serious. i'm fine. really. just-"
you scoff, the shed shivering and the groand grumbling, a sign of your anger. but you decided that there was a better time to destroy his shed, just not now. you took a deep breath and the rumbling stopped, "you wanna play this game xav? i'll beat you fucking to it." you mutter leaving the shed, slamming the wooden gate behind you, the temptation to let the earth swallow him for you was insane.
Tumblr media
for the past few days not only you were avoiding him but also ignoring xavier's texts and calls, like what he was doing to you in the past days before. xavier huffs in frustration as he redialed your phone number for about 30 times now, he wanted to make things right, he misses you. he for sure didn't want to break your relationship just because of a stupid monster haunting his dreams. at the 34th time, you answered. he got up from his bed, "y/n? please let's talk." he mutters to the phone, knowing just how to make you surrender.
"where baby?" you answer, xavier would like to thank the heavens for your voice, he was so glad to hear you, with a sigh of relief he told you to meet him at his dorm.
once you arrived at his dorm, you knocked once and he already opens it. "y/n, i'm so so so so sorry about everything. lots of shit has been happening ever since wednesday arrived and i-i dont want that to ruin what we have." he tells you, his tone so desperate you'd think that your relationship was on thin ice and he was coming to rescue it. you wrap your arms around his shoulder and embraced him, inhaling his scent and hearing him breathe. you wouldn't admit it but you missed him too.
you pull away and you both sat down on his bed, he talks about everything. how wednesday shows up everywhere and how she was suspicious that he might be the creature rather, the- hyde. you listened to him, as the way he talks just makes you feel relieved. his eyes were darting every single corner in the room out of anxiety, so you placed a hand on his, rubbing the back of his palm with your thumb. once he finished, you smile at him. "see? it wasn't that hard was it?" you told him, caressing his cheek with your other hand. you lay down on his bed and he falls next to you, head burying into your shoulder and chest, his arms sneaking their way around your waist, "i missed you so much, i love you." xavier mumbled, you sigh in content, placing a peck on his head, "i love you too." you whisper as he cranes his neck backward to take a look at you, then your lips finally meet his, a warmth made its way in your body, feeling the most satisfactory relieg in human history.

Hello my lovely writer,
I love your work but wasn't brave enough to write you, until today =) even if I don't know if you're still accepting requests I give it a try, in hope that you like to write a story with your wonderful words. Currently I'm sick as a dog and in need of some care taking Frank...
Frank and her are dating for some time now, but she has problems with trusting him completely because of her last abusive relationship. So she didn't tell him that she is chronical ill and often suffers from pulmonary infections and tachycardia always when she feels under the weather or sick she tells him she is busy so they can't meet. When she's falling deathly sick with a very high fever she tells him to raincheck their date. Frank gets suspicious and tries not to think of her cheating with him. When he doesn't hear from her for days and she doesn't answer his texts and phone calls he's mad and he wants to confront her. What he doesn't know is that she's at home deathly sick and in need of help cause of her high fever. When she doesn't open her door he is raging thinking that she's in bed with another man, but what he finds shatters his heart not as he aspected. He finds her semi conscious on her bathroom floor....
Well some angst, drama, secrets of her past and a protective caretaking Frank nurses her back to health.
Hope that's something you like.
Love, kiss and hugs sends you a fan of your work
Sorry for my English, it's not my first language 🤍
SIRENS IN MY HEAD ➵ F. CASTLE
Tumblr media
Summary: Feeling under the weather, you cancel your date with Frank, and when he doesn’t hear from you for a few days, he expects the worst — only to find an equally bad situation: you, unconscious on the bathroom floor.
Warnings: Chronic illness, mentions of an abusive ex, cursing, feminine nicknames
Word count: 2.2k
Author’s note: Omg anon it took me so long to finish this, I apologize!! I took some creative liberties with this one because personally I feel like Frank would assume something bad happened to you instead of cheating, but I hope you still like what I came up with :) I’m sending you lots of love and good vibes!!
In the past couple of months, you and Frank had discovered that you had a lot in common — you both liked dogs, you both tended to put others before yourselves, and you liked the same kind of music playing from his truck radio whenever he took you anywhere. But the most glaring similarity between the two of you lately was that neither of you remembered the first thing about dating. He had never even intended to get back into it, but then you had come and won his heart all to yourself, whereas you had been reserved and wary ever since you had broken up with your aggressive and controlling ex. His habit of putting you down with words as much as his hands had earned you a complete distrust of men — with Frank being, apparently, the exception.
Still, you didn’t completely open up to him. In fact, there was one major thing you had been holding out on, out of the fear that it would be too much for him to take — or worse, he would take advantage of that weakness somehow. So when you started to feel under the weather once more, your chronic tendencies acting up again, you made sure not to tell him why you were canceling your dinner date.
”Yeah, it’s just, I have to be at work all day and it doesn’t really seem like it’s gonna work out today”, you rambled into the phone, hoping Frank wouldn’t call you out on the bullshit excuse, only to be crushed a little more by his disappointed voice.
”Oh, okay, sweetheart. ’M sorry to hear that. Maybe tomorrow, then, huh?” Frank suggested, his gravelly voice full of dismay, and as a wave of nausea rushed over you, you squeezed your eyes shut and drew in a shaky breath.
”Actually, uh, I’m not sure I can make that work. I’m really sorry, but I’ll—I’ll let you know when I’m… more available”, you cleared your throat, embarrassment creeping up your spine and mixing in with the cold sweat breaking on your forehead. ”Again, I’m sorry. I have to go.”
With that, you hung up the phone and threw it next to you on the mattress before groaning and running your hands across your face. You hated this, but you couldn’t bring yourself to telling him the truth. Still, as your fever rose and your heartrate refused to calm down, you wished nothing more than to have Frank by your side, caressing your hair and holding your hand.
It wasn’t the first time you had done this, tried to fool him into thinking you were fine when in reality you were not, but this was the first time Frank was more than just a little bit suspicious. He would have liked to think that enough time had passed between the two of you for you to be honest with him, the same way he was learning to be honest with you — even about things he had always kept to himself.
Still, he let it go. For the first couple of days, anyway. Then all of a sudden, you weren’t answering texts, ranging from casual check-ins to more clear requests for any kind of sign, and when he called you, you didn’t pick up, either. You had gone completely radio silent for the fourth day now, whereas before you would get back to Frank within minutes. He missed checking his phone and seeing a notification from you, and like a goddamn schoolgirl, he missed texting you until ungodly hours in the AM until he’d pass out on his phone from sheer exhaustion.
And Frank, well, he always assumed the worst. The most horrendous scenario imaginable was already forming in his head, and he tried his damnedest to keep his cool, but fuck, if he wasn’t worried. He tried to get his mind off of you by cleaning his guns, but he soon realized it was just to prepare him against whoever had possibly taken you from your home, or maybe even the street. Surely something had happened for you to not even let him know you were okay.
”Goddamn it, sweetheart”, he muttered at his phone where his long list of unanswered text messages stared back at him. He tried to sit still in his silent apartment, but the longer he did, the worse he started to overthink. And before he knew it, he was out the door, headed for your building with his gun in the waistband of his jeans.
Tapping on the wheel, he impatiently swerved from one street to another. He had gotten far too attached to you — in fact, he hadn’t even realized just how deeply until right now, but he couldn’t bear the thought of losing you, not now, not ever. You had become so indescribably important to him, more than he’d even care to admit, but he couldn’t lie to himself. He was ready to go to war for you if that was what the night had in the cards for him.
He was at your front door in almost no time, his knuckles knocking on the door to give you the chance to answer. But when nothing happened, not even a squeak came from indoors, Frank tried the handle — to no avail. ”Fuck”, he cursed under his breath, knowing you’d hand his ass to him for what he was about to do, but he wasn’t going to let a mere door stand in his way.
And so, he shoved through the door with his shoulder, busting in unceremoniously and with a bang. At first glance, the apartment looked untouched, and in any other situation, he would have taken a moment to appreciate just how you it was, from photos to little plushies decorating the place. But now, he was focused on only one thing, and that was finding you. Even though the place seemed normal in every way, he withdrew his gun and kept it hoisted in the air just in case, the barrel leading the way as he searched the apartment room by room.
It was in the bathroom that Frank found what he was looking for, only to be slapped in the face by the horror that quickly washed over him at the sight — you, lying on the floor, sweat beading on your feverish face while you breathed heavily and unevenly.
”Shit”, he uttered out while putting his gun away and kneeling down beside you. ”Sweetheart? Hey, sweet girl, can you hear me? Hey, I need ya to wake up for me, okay?” Frank continued, his anger fading into worry as he lifted your head up and tried to gently shake you into consciousness. When you began moving on your own and your eyes parted open, he sighed in relief, but licked his lips in the realization that you were not in the clear yet.
”Hey, hey, take it easy. You with me, darlin’? Look at me”, he instructed with short and simple statements, his voice gentle but stern, and you found it in yourself to follow his guidance. You leaned into him and looked up at him, struggling to find your words with your dry throat and your dizzy head.
”Didn’t want you to see me like this”, you slurred, and knitting his eyebrows together, Frank tilted his head at you.
Nodding to promise he understood, he cleared his throat. ”Listen, I’mma take you to the hospital, aight? I’ll be with you the whole time, I promise”, he continued, and even though you didn’t have it in you to fight back, you nodded.
With ease, Frank picked you up from the floor, and as quickly but carefully as he could, he rushed downstairs to his truck where he made sure to protect your head and avoid any sudden movements while buckling you in. He maintained a balance between rushing and not risking your life any further, but needless to say, he was relieved no cops pulled him over as he sped through the streets to get to the emergency room.
He was working on autopilot, his instincts guiding him but his mind not quite catching up with what was happening. He was scared, but that part of him was shutting down completely and the diligent soldier in him took charge of the situation until you were lying in a hospital bed, still unconscious but stable according to the doctors.
He didn’t leave your side for one second, even when his eyes started to slip and his body yearned for coffee. The doctors told him he might have to wait all night, but he was willing to — he just wasn’t going to let you wake up all alone, confused and hurt.
It must have been near 4 AM when you finally came to, your groggy movements alerting Frank who was half-asleep in the chair he had dragged to your bedside. But as soon as you seemed to be waking up, he was eyes wide and his hand reaching for yours. You were too out of it to fight him off even if you had wanted to, but when your eyes adjusted to the new setting and you slowly realized where you were, you clung onto him desperately.
”Frank…”, you croaked out, eyes blinking rapidly as you lifted your head just a little bit, and shushing you softly, Frank caressed your cheek with his free hand.
”Hey there, pretty girl. I’m right here. You’re at the hospital, okay? I found you, uh, I found ya unconscious and I got you here”, he started, his rough voice a warm welcome as you got oriented — although as you did, you found yourself hoping you wouldn’t.
As soon as you remembered the couple of days you had had, shame, regret and guilt gushed into your system, poisoning you from within and encouraging you to bury your face in your hands. You groaned, but still blissfully unaware, Frank continued.
”I—I’m not really sure what happened and the doctors don’t wanna tell me anythin’…”, he trailed off, sounding and looking very much like a kicked puppy, and it made you feel so shitty. God, you really liked him, and now it felt like everything you had developed together was moments away from burning to ashes.
”I’m so sorry, Frank. I didn’t want you to get involved in this mess”, you breathed out, pursing your lips together awkwardly in an effort to not cry.
”Hey, you don’t gotta apologize. I… I wanna be involved in whatever you got goin’ on, y’know?” he shrugged before licking his lips and adding, ”and since I’m here now, maybe you could tell me what’s goin’ on?”
He made a damn good argument there. So, you decided to put on your big girl pants and rip off the band-aid.
”I suffer from these… spells, I guess. I deal with chronic illness and when I get sick, I get really sick. I’ve been struggling with it a lot this week, so I cancelled our date”, you explained with a grimace, but Frank didn’t seem shaken by it — worried, sure, but about to make your worst nightmares come true? Not by a long shot.
”Man, that’s… Shit, that sucks. No way ’round it. ’M sorry”, he sympathized, and you nodded quietly to accept his kindness. ”Maybe I’m just a big ole’ idiot but uh, you coulda just told me, yeah?” Frank wondered, and you couldn’t help but chuckle at his innocent attempt to understand. Granted, you weren’t making it easy for him.
”Yeah, that’s where my trust issues come in, I guess. Um, my ex was really… Well, the worst. I kinda learned to expect the worst from everyone, especially men, and I didn’t want to risk telling you because I didn’t know how you’d react. Even now I’m kind of worried about what this means for our future”, you admitted nervously, your fingers fiddling with the thin cover on top of you, and Frank immediately squeezed your hand to reassure you.
”I ain’t gonna do anythin’ you don’t want me to. I’ll try to learn about it and do whatever I can to help ya out, is that okay?” he questioned shyly, and with a quick nod, you smiled at him.
”It’s okay. I would like that. I just don’t want it to be an inconvenience or—or something that gives you too much control over me”, you explained, and tilting his head at you, Frank frowned.
”I don’t wanna control you, sweetheart. ’M sorry your ex was a piece of shit like that. But I promise ya, I ain’t gonna be the same. I’mma do this shit right”, he insisted, still squeezing your hand, and as his words hung in the air, you felt the anxiety slowly fade away. Maybe, this could work out.
”Thank you”, you whispered, and nodding to confirm it was the least he could do, Frank lifted your hand to his mouth and left a gentle kiss on the back of it.
”Next time… you can tell me and maybe I can come over and take care of you, yeah?” he offered, and when you broke into an approving smile, he flashed a grin at you. ”Good, good… ’Cause I gotta be honest, I really like you, girl. And I ain’t plannin’ on messin’ this up”, Frank pointed out, and with a giggle escaping your mouth, you gripped his hand a bit tighter.
”Don’t worry, you’re doing just fine so far.”

Hello! Can you write a oneshot or a headcanon (platonic, ofc) about Macaque with a reserved but also very outgoing child? (like those kids that are calm and reserved but if you mention something they really like they just go off and start rambling all happy and excited)
I had this idea in my head for a little while, I think it'd be really funny and wholesome if he just appeared at Pigsy's Noodles w/ his child and everyone's like "wh- YOU'RE A DAD??? WHEN??? HOW????" and he just watches with that Tired Parent Look™ as his kid stares directly at MK and goes "YOU'RE THAT MONKIE GUY ON THE TV!!!"
Sorry for any errors! English is not my first language, I apologize for the long text aswell, I'm just an absolute sap for the "tired but loving dad" trope also you can totally delete my ask or skip it if you don't want to write it!! Thank you either way, your writing is wonderful :) !
All right! *cracks fingers, snaps neck- whoops-*
You got it anon! Sorry for not answering this ask sooner, I realized headcanons are easier to write than an actual oneshot considering the limited time I have to write nowadays. But I hope you enjoy, and thanks for the ask! <333

MACAQUE X CHILD!READER
Lego Monkie Kid
Context: Long ago, a wise old monkey had taken you under his wing, to train you and teach you the ways- okay, let's save the theatrics for later, that's Macaque's thing. Your father figure. Honestly, he's growing on you, and it's starting to show now that people are pointing it out.
TW: None!
HEADCANNONS
‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹
Macaque doesn't normally take you somewhere where conflict is bound to arise. He'd prefer someplace more peaceful, like a park/museum/theater. Unless, of course, he's in the mood for adventure and will literally take you skydiving without a permit.
Totally the irresponsible dad. He's protective as FUCK, let's make that clear, but in the end he trusts you to take care of yourself
perhaps a bit too much, and even you think that
He'll encourage you to pet that snake
He'll give you the thumbs up if you wanted to climb to the top of the weather tower during a thunderstorm
Like "Go get 'em, (Y/N)! Make your father proud!"
With such a dramatic character when it comes to encouraging you, Macaque will become insanely tired. He'll be snoring on the couch and won't wake up even if you stacked all the furniture in the house on his back
Speaking of the house, he and you live far away from any danger
This guy didn't know jack shit about being a dad at first (you kind of hat to teach him, oh how the turns have tabled) But once he understood the basics, he took the reins, eager to impress you and earn your respect. Macaque isn't usually a sucker for developing any relationship with Earthly figures, but you were the only exception. He'd lay awake at night thinking if he's making the right choice, then slapping himself for even considering abandoning you. You are too precious.
Which is why he's totally, utterly wrapped around your little finger
So when you ask to get take-out at Pigsy's Noodles, it doesn't take much effort to sway his stoic resolve
"Dad. Pops. Papa. Father of mine," you say, grabbing his face, looking a lot older than you actually are. "Please!"
Since Macaque can't turn his face to the side (squished as it is), he sighs dramatically and closes his eyes. You catch the faint, irritated twitch of his tail, but that's about the only hint of Fed-Up Parent you can detect.
"(Y/N), Megapolis is miles away."
"You have shadow magic!"
"You can't just abuse my powers, especially now that you've decided to abuse yours," he grunts, albeit grinning at you. He' loosing.
Triumph fills your chest. "I can handle it! Uncle Pigsy would love to see me!"
"Uncle!?" Macaque splutters, finally escaping your grip. Shocked eyes blink down at you. "Sweetheart, you haven't even met Pigsy, you've only seen him from afar."
You blink up, flaunting those devil-may-care puppy eyes.
Oh, he hates it when you do that.
"Puh-lease! I'll do anything! i'll scratch your back! Do my chores before games! I-I'll stay out of your secret stash of peaches!" You gasp, flopping down on the soft carpet lining the floor. You consider the intricate pattern for a moment, then mutter under your breath; "Even though you said you hate those. . . ."
Macaque fixes you with a stern look. "You know about that, huh?"
"Mayyybe."
Like I said, not that much effort. The guy may be invulnerable to harm at best, but his immortality falls short under your tactics. Persuasive skills that he taught you to use.
Sucks how plans backfire, huh?
When you two do get to the shop, however, Macaque goes into full parent-mode
He doesn't care if you think it's uncool, you're holding his hand and that's that. He'd get you one of those child harnesses but thank the stars you'd convinced him you're worth more than such a humiliating child-control device.
So in you go, holding hands, Macaque glaring at anyone who spares you a curious glance.
When Macaque sees who's at the counter, he almost does a 180 out of there
It's MK.
Of all people.
He hasn't seen the two of you yet, though. You feel Macaque's paw tighten over your small, nimble fingers, and you can't help but squeeze back in return, asking a silent question.
It's times like these where you don't know what to do. You're still a child, even if this was your idea.
But then you spot who's at the counter
and At the same time, Pigsy comes 'round the corner with a giant tray of noodles- fit for the exact number of people surrounding the Monkie Kid. Suddenly, Macaque realizes who all is there.
This guy
Parent-Panic-Pro
The literal Monkey King is the first to turn head, eyes landing on Macaque first. You can tell instantly his fight-or-flight response just kicked in; shoulders tensing, teeth baring, eyes widening (oh yes, typical ex behavior- HAHA)
Then, all heads are turning.
And Monkey King's eyes land on you
Macaque steps in front of you, form tense and on high alert. "Heyyyy," he says, awkwardly.
The Monkey King tilts his head, perhaps confused as to why his old friend is protecting a little kid. Then he realizes. Poor guy connects the dots, lets out an unholy gasp of astonishment, and points and the both of you
"YOU. YOU- AND THEM- MACISTHATYOURKID-"
Pandemonium.
At least, in the most gentle context. MK and his friends do a double take, the Monkey King is gaping and trying to figure out who could ever love Macaque to result in this- and your dad just completely gives up. He gives you this look, like 'see why I was against bringing you here'
And you know. And your eyes say sorry, that you'll make it up to him later
Typical silent father/child communicating
(you guys are really good at that, communicating through your eyes or expressions. it helps in crowds)
That is, until your eyes fall on MK and realize for the first time that he's actually there
And Macaque's face falls into an impossibly disappointed facade (really, he's happy you're socializing) as you let go of his hand and prance right up to MK, eyes literal stars.
Thank goodness for MK, for he's kind and patient enough to let you blabble and gush on about how cool he is and how you've stayed up to date on the latest chaos he's incited (poor dude looks a bit downcast at that)
Funny how you went to such a well-behaved, shy kid to an energetic hyper-fixated gremlin in two seconds
All the while, Pigsy is listening, Monkey King corners Macaque and quietly demands answers (the two of them talk in the background for awhile as you socialize)
Noodles are served
There's just so many people in Pigsy's Noodles that the owner himself couldn't keep track of who ordered what, so everyone just got the same thing- and lots of it
In the end, you're all sitting down at the table (everyone had worked together to gather as many spare tables/chairs as possible to sit together at one huge-ass table)
You insisted you sit with Mei and MK in order to interrogate them about their adventures
OF course, you mean well, and they know that. And Macaque never pulls you aside because he likes seeing you like this, it makes him happy knowing you're indulging in the things you love, and he deosn't have the heart to tell you it's almost time to go home.
So you stay there for awhile, chatting with Mk and his friends
You get to know Pigsy (he doesn't mind being called your uncle, said at this point he's practically everyone's uncle or dad)
But alas
You're bit a child
And towards the end of the night, aftter everyone is stuffed full of noodles, you're conked out in your chair, slumped and snoring softly, eyes fluttering from dreaming
Everyone glances at you, how fucking adorable you are
Macaque straightens, clears his throat, says it's time for him to leave
Sun Wukong stops him for a moment, just to say
"Keep them safe, Mac."
Of course, like the #1 Dad he is, Macaque snorts. "I think I know more about raising a kid than you do, Wukong. I'll . . . see you out there."
Then he picks you up, carefully, so you stay sleeping, and walks out
but not before turning around to thank everyone for dinner
For once, they offer smiles (some are weaker and less meaningful than others, but props for trying. Macaque is kinda responsible for a lot of pain in their lives, anyways)
You don't register any of it, too full of noodles and new information regarding your idols
Macaque knows he'll never hear the end of it
Perhaps that's a good thing, considering the fond smile on his face as he gently carries you home, lays you in bed, and pulls the covers over your snoring form. He eagerly awaits the morning to which you'll wake him up excitedly ranting about tonight, about how you want to do it again
And he's wrapped around your little finger, so if course he'll listen to you
this guy would move the world for you

Obligatory RP Blog intro post
(Warning: Contains Spoilers for the end of 2.1 and 2.2 and was initially created before 2.2)
———
Making a drink is a sensory skill. In dreams, creating fizzy concoctions requires adding a bit of your mood. Heavier if you're troubled, a touch sweeter if you're in high spirits... It's not just about mixing beverages. It's about mixing the experiences of life.
Tumblr media
Gallagher's the name, I'm one of the local "Hounds" around here. Step into Penacony, the Land of Dreams, Nameless one.
Tired? Just find a place to sit and rest for a while. Let’s have a talk and I’ll mix something up for you.
But a few words of advice…
Tumblr media
Don’t get lost in dreams, and not everything’s as it seems.
Tumblr media
Guidelines, Key, Tags and Notes from the mod:
Tumblr media
Guidelines:
-Fellow RP Blogs are allowed, uh hiii Star Rail RP community
-This is my first RP Blog after like a year or so (previous ones just died) so I may be rusty so apologies for that -Using tonetags would be appreciated, not required but appreciated, especially if you say something that could come off as rude but you don’t mean it in that tone, the mod can’t read tone through text.
-SFW only please, Suggestive themes are allowed with a warning however
-Gore’s on the table though, but only if the meme gets involved, or you somehow get a good reason for it, I don’t think Gallagher would just maul you out of nowhere- However since this takes place in the dreamscape blood will be described as water and that’s all that’s gonna spill out-
-Shipping is allowed, I’ll allow any ship unless it’s pr*ship or with Sunday, with the former it’s obvious on why I wouldn’t, gross. You’ll get hit on the offense side of Gallagher’s Ultimate if you try that.
But on Galladay it’s simply cause I’m just not super comfortable with Gallagher x Sunday-
But yeah, as long as you’re follow the shipping rules the sky’s the limit, especially since I see Gallagher as bi
-Mod uses the CDT Timezone and is in education, but otherwise doesn’t have a life, and also has adhd with rapid changing hyperfixations so answer times can range from a minute to over a week
-Anything related to, but not limited to, racism, homophobia/transphobia, sexism, ableism, etc. Is not allowed here.
I’m serious if you come into the askbox with that you’ll get the “Dog” after you:
Tumblr media
-Anons are welcome, you can even have a custom tag if you use a sign off and show up enough
-Magic Anons are allowed however only one can be active at a time and they have a 2-5 ask cooldown depending on what the effects where
-You can technically also ask the Meme on this blog, but don’t expect it to say anything other then *STABS YOU STABS YOU STABS YOU STABS YO
Key:
“ “ (Just plain text): Dialogue
“ “ (Same as above but in bold)/“ “ (Purple bold text): (what’s used is dependent on what’s exactly being said) Dialogue where Gallagher puts on his Reaper Robe
(The text for that was originally red however I changed it to purple for two reasons: Reason one being in the lore Acheron uses Red text sometimes and I think it’d be weird if I interacted with an Acheron and she also used red text,
and I changed it to purple specifically cause it matches Sleepie)
“* *” (Asterisks around text): Action/Movement
“// //“ (Two slashes around text): OOC/Mod talking
Tags:
#🥃bartenders rambles : In character posts/asks
#🐺barred fangs : In character posts/asks when Gallagher is playing the role of “The Reaper/Death”
#🌀don’t fear the reaper. : Fanart reblog tag
#👁️ The Dog. : Mentions/Discussion of the Memory Zone Meme “Something Unto Death”/“Sleepie”
#🐾mods yapping : Posts from the mod/OOC posts, not counting OOC moments in the tags of ask posts
#💫care for a drink under the stars? : Interaction reblogs/RPs, whatever with fellow Honkai: Star Rail RP blogs, can be in or out of character
#🪶hounds prey : Interactions with Sunday and/or Robin/Mentions of Sunday and/or Robin
#🧹the bellboy : (there was no mop emoji) Interactions with Misha/Mentions of Misha
(Tags may be added for specific characters and art RBs if I decide to do that, but for now that’s the tags)
Anon Tags:
#🍸 anon
#🥂 anon
#🍀 anon
Side Notes:
-If you’re wondering on the Mod’s pronouns if you didn’t read the bio, the Mod uses Any/All pronouns (like he/she/they/it etc. Idrc-)
-This will include headcanons, if it wasn’t obvious from the “I see Gally as Bi” comment
-It could possibly get OOC at times while I’m in character, I made the blog before 2.2, but I’m trying to stick to the character as well as I can, and if 2.2 changes his character again I’ll attempt to pull something to fit with that
-Mod will refer to himself ether as “The Mod” or “Mod Werewolf”
Other Blogs the Mod Runs if you’d like to check those out:
(disclaimer they’re not all gonna be for the same fandom in the future)
@the-coolest-character-in-hsr (Hanu from Honkai: Star Rail)

Anyways hope you enjoy the blog, and avoid getting stabbed by the meme

wip wednesday !!
Tumblr media
thank you to @littlemisskittentoes and @hgejfmw-hgejhsf for tagging me 💖
GUESS WHO'S BACK !!!! finally, after a 6 week writing drought, i have been making progress on my tumblr au! so enjoy this lil sneak peak of alex's anonymous ask and the first part of henry's response 😎
After watching two cinematic masterpieces—Shrek 1 and Shrek 2, of course—Alex feels much better. His sister always knows how to get him out of his own head. It’s 9 PM now, AKA prime tumblr-scrolling hours. This realization prompts Alex to open the tumblr app on his phone, sending a surge of nervous energy through his body. He doesn’t worry for long, though, because right at the top of his dash is H’s response. Alex slides into bed, pulling the duvet over his head to create a blanket cocoon, before beginning to read.  
Anonymous: hi i hope it’s ok that i’m sending you this. i’ve been following you for a while and your poems mean a lot to me. i thought i was straight but now i’m not so sure because surely a straight person wouldn’t connect with queer poetry, right? so i guess my question is, how did you know you were gay? and how do i know if i’m gay? (sorry feel free to not answer this i ramble when i’m nervous haha)
Hello, Anon. Firstly, thank you for this kind message. I’m glad my writing meant a lot to you. It’s nice to know that my sad gay pining isn’t completely useless. And don’t apologize, it’s okay to be nervous. I am quite the expert when it comes to being nervous, thanks to the anxiety disorder.  As for your question, I’m honoured that you trust me with giving you advice. Unfortunately, there is no way for me to definitively determine whether you’re queer or not, but I can offer you some anecdotes from my experience, and hopefully that will be helpful in some way.
i love them, your honor 😭😭😭 OH AND the tumblr work skin i've been customizing for myself looks SO GOOD i am so excited
idk who has posted for WIP wednesday yet and who hasn't but tags under the cut as always sjdfhksj🫡

Can you do Pavia with an autistic s/o who likes collecting plushies of cute animals, and characters they like?
modern ! pavia x reader short fluff
cw :: modern au, bf! pavia, short cuz i didnt save my draft the first time :(
this one kinda sucks lowkey. apologies anon🫡
“and who is this again?” he’d asked you, pointing to one of your plushes you seemed especially fond of.
your expression lit up immediately, as you began rambling about how you adored this character. you explained their backstory, their personality and their relationship with other characters for a long while.
he watched you with a fond smile, sitting crossed legged on your bed. he leaned on one of his thighs, his knee pressed into his jeans and his cheek resting on his palm as you pulled up pictures on the internet of the character in question. when you realize you had gone off on a ramble, you stopped abruptly and looked a little embarrassed.
“i just… really like them. a lot.” you said with a sheepish smile, putting the plush down on your desk. he had a thoughtful look as he pointed to another plush you had.
“and that one is [___], right? your other favorite?”
you smiled and nodded enthusiastically, extremely happy that he remembered. you gave a very brief summary on why you liked them, not wanting to annoy him too much.
“how did that happen?” “how come they did that?” “i see, but im a little confused on this part-“ he kept asking questions that made you talk more about the character, and before long you started rambling again.
he had this sickeningly sweet smile on his features, listening very intently as you spoke. he was internally taking notes — not that you were aware — while watching affectionately as you explained with both your hands and words at the same time.
he asked questions that were specific to the series that you answered in detail, happy that he seemed to enjoy your ranting.
that encounter was a week ago.. imagine your surprise when you come home to a keychain of a separate character you’d mentioned during that ramble. you smile so widely and all of a sudden feel extremely giddy, and go to find him in the house.
he was in your room, sitting on your bed with his legs crossed. he had your animal plushes lined up and he had a hand on his chin as he stared at him. he idly nodded in your direction as you entered and went back to staring at them.
“im memorizing their names.” he said before you could ask him what he was doing. maybe he knew that he was being cute but fuck, that made your heart flutter.
you sit down behind him, resting your chin on his shoulder as you pointed to them individually and listed the names they had. he was visibly paying attention, following along.
he did remember all of their names !! just for you.
“can you name the next one andrea? or peter?” he’d suggest when he’d catching you staring at claw machines or store windows. when you agree, he immediately tries his hardest to win the one you liked, dropping lots of money to make sure you got the plushy you want.
idk how to end this 💔 he would absolutely bling out your character plushes btw hed put chains and rings on them

I think it was recreation too but it was for Will as much as himself. He "killed" Abigail/Mischa then force fed her to Will, made him feel the same horror and revulsion, had Will hunt him down too like he did the soldiers.
Except Abigail wasn't dead. He wanted the teacup to come back together for Will, he wanted to give Will what Hannibal could never have. He thought having Will follow in a likness of his footsteps meant that Will would understand(he did tho, but was trying to hold on to the idea of his "morals/humanity") and wouldn't refuse his gifts. I wonder if after Hannibal felt his past felt even more inevitable, that his life was always going to have a broken teacup. I think Will is always going to wonder the same now too. (Sorry for rambling, the thoughts escaped into ur inbox)1
Hello dear anon, first of all I really want to apologize for such a late answer, I was a bit overwelmed. so my apologize for making you wait.
What you sent me is top tier meta analysis ! to be honest I totally forgot about the ear thing (How could I 🙄) so I didn't even think about it in that way !!
But you're so on point. Hannibal gave Will his own trauma, shown him the most transformative event in his life, made him feels it, but also made sure Will wouldn't have to live with the full loss like he had too. hoping to heal in some way in the process, to repair his past, even imperfectly because Abigail could never truly replace Mischa, she is her own person in her own right.
And just like you said, by killing Abigail out of hurt and betrayal marked Will and removed any chance of healing for him.
Thank you so much for your amazing insight, it breaks me like everything this show does.
