THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW, TOO SV5 NONNIE!!!!! Lmk how you've been too bc just the other day asw i was thinking it's been so long since i last talked to you :(
HIHI GRACIE <3
i got logged out of my account for a while so i haven’t actually been able to chat w u, even tho i wanted to :’(
i’ve travelled back to my school unfortunately, and even though my exams are up, my history and law teachers decided to just give us more tests. i’m currently studying for those, but last week i’m telling u some demon must’ve possessed me or some shit bc omd it felt like i had the worst sickness known to man. i’m somewhat better now though, but i’m behind on a lot of my school work, so i won’t be very active these next days/weeks unfortunately 😓 i’ll still check up on u tho !!
also a little f1 rant while i’m already here, it’s only 17 more days till it starts again !! i’m soosososo excited !! did u see the news about lewis going to ferrari? he’s my fav on the current grid, so I’m not really sure how i feel about it. i mean, mercedes hasn’t been treating him as well recently, and they’ve also dropped on their production and car developing. but at the same time, ferrari? nando and seb could both tell u what a horrible idea that is, lewis. i really want him to get his 8th before he retires, but i’m scared he won’t 🙁
anywho !!! what about u ?? how have you been ?? i’ve missed chatting w u, even though i read all of your posts 😁 anything interesting at school or any upcoming projects for us readers u can tell us abt? 👀
Awhhwhwhhh why'd u log out? To cheat on me w an alt or j to recentre your life? respectfully hoping it's the latter
And no litr, everyone ik is really quite sick atm so I'm hoping you get back to good health very very soon because from what I've seen this cold-covid-RAT looks absolutely awful to have. Take care of yo goofy ahh sv5 nonnie, eat your vitamins n minerals and keep healthy
And what's "it"? Like, THE f1? And is F1 like football, like yk, are there European races or is it just worldwide? And are there qualifiers + how do they decide which countries race?
Wait nvm im a fucking idiot i j realised the teams that race are car brands/teams not countries 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Dear God I'm sorry for wasting anyone's time by making u read that, that is honestly embarrassing behaviour on my behalf.
But yeah! My mum said smth ab Hamilton being a driver for Ferarri atm (kinda flew over my head bc i dont rmbr who he drove for initially). And oh, mercedes have been neglecting him? That's good that Lewis is out and into a team that'll treat him better and help him win too.
And 8th what? 8th like, win? If so i hope that too. Well, i don't really know what I hope. All I know is that Stroll is hot and apparently looks as though he's been "freshly fucked into a mattress" (idk i posted a pic ab him and the reblogs still haunt me to this day), Seb's got a nice family and bread baking hobby, fans want to fuck Oscar, Lando and Max, and the rest are a little bit foreign to me
Isn't there a movie coming out (maybe out now tbf) about a racer that was a video game neek but got recruited by Ferrari or another big racing group? Do lmk the name + whether you've seen it + whether it's out + who it's acc based on bc it looks super super super interesting imo
And YAYAYAY nice to see you've still been watching (even if silently)
I'm doing well ty, I've decided it's time to get outta seasonal depression n kickstart loving life again.
I've got a scholar's exam coming up which is gna be hard to get so everyone manifest or pray for me pls, either works...
And in terms of projects, currently I'm doing s'more HC's (AMP eating out and another genre), ATV fluff, ATV threesome oneshot, and a Kinktober-core smut for ChrisMD!!!
Stay in touch SV5 nonnie, it's always acc bare cute talking to u
PEACE N LOVE!!!!

Oh thank goodness. I was so scared I’d made you uncomfortable. Glad to know that’s not the case. Also currently getting ready to watch the latest episode of Blue Lock cause watching gay soccer players is the perfect way to distract myself from crying because of gay delinquents aka Tokyo Revengers 😌✨. I swear the number of edits I’ve saved to my phone these last two weeks is insane. You should totally pick it up again whenever you have the time (and ofc only if you want to) 👀. Izana brainrot has escalated to reading the fanfics under the character x reader tag. That’s when I know I’m down bad 💀💀💀. Anywho. You should absolutely catch up on Lore Olympus I just caught up yesterday and uhhhhh a lot has happened 👀. And everyone needs themselves a man like Hades like SIR IM- . Oh man I love yoo takes me back. I stopped reading it awhile ago cause I think it was being dragged out and I kinda lost the plot somewhere. I don’t like when the story keeps continuing when it’s just for the sake of it and it doesn’t work with the plot. There are very few exceptions to this. Tokyo Revengers obv being one of them cause I would seriously be so happy if it went on forever and I got to see what the daily lives of all my beloved characters were like. I have a love hate relationship with Ken Wakui 😤🤧😭. OH ALSO as sad as I am abt the ending I’m so excited for the second season in January (Black Dragons arc is my favorite). Have you seen the trailer? ALSO there was an announcement right after the release of the final chapter saying that Wakui was gonna be doing a special arc abt the Toman founders and I really hope it’s in the reset timeline with Takemitchy cause I need to see how him and Mikey did it all and just their relationship with everyone (adding childhood-friends trope to the number of reasons why this ship has everything). And it also included the announcement of Wakui saying he’s working on multiple spin-offs and I was like AFJBGFDJKHHHGGHGGG YES GIMME *ahem* also I haven’t read the Bajifuyu Letter from Baji Keisuke spin off yet but I was gonna wait until after the manga ended as a source of comfort yknow so I gotta do that eventually. EGGNOID MY DEAR COLD-BLOODED KING SIRENS LAMENTS LETS PLAY. I LOVE ALL OF THESE SO MUCH. Haven’t read them in a while tho 😅 (besides Lore Olympus atm). I recommend Brimstone and Roses, Unlovable Replacement, Midnight Poppy Land, SubZero, Down to Earth, and The Kiss Bet. They’re all on webtoons. OH and i heard that Nagi makes an appearance in the latest ep so I’m excited not cause I’m falling for him or anything ofc. How’s life? Good I hope? And I’m happy that my description was somewhat on point and that it didn’t make you uncomfortable. Oh and also love your sketches so much they look so good 🤩!!! Uh question. Just to double check. The constant asks aren’t a bother are they? I know you said you like interacting but I just wanna make sure it’s not annoying having to respond to constant asks from the same person all the time. If that makes sense? Anyways I hope you sleep well/wake up refreshed!! It’s night time here atm. As always take care of yourself! *sends virtual hugs*
- ✨ anon
Starry!!
I finished reading the latest chapters of the manga (and I'm amazed at the fact that I've managed to keep up with it so far; are we ever gonna get shirtless aiku and i wanna see him with the italian team)
my only motive in life atp (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)
I love yoo does make me feel nostalgic; but yeah as much as I love the whole story, the plot did get dragged out. So like here's the thing, I've watched a lot of k dramas and some of them are really lengthy. Like whats wrong with secretary kim had a good plot and everything, so did suspicious partners but this new one I watched (the penthouse) it got dragged out for so long that I didn't even want to watch season 3; even if it was interesting i'm being pushed to watch hospital playlist even with let's play when Sam and Charles were being dragged with Marshall in the bg i... dropped it. No ill will intended against the author and their artwork; cause they are amazing, but i lose interest with complicated plots. me watching he is a psychometric
The coincidence! I was literally asking abt the black dragons today (wanted to know if Shinichiro is there or not and turns out he is!) I wanna see the whole thing with Mitsuya, Hakkai and Taiju - me having a tr brainrot and thinking if i should work on it or will people get annoyed with me ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾ I like manga omakes- they can even be turned into mini eps cause of it - esp with the trio and their pet shop business! (Me thinking of the moment when Baji's handwriting is so bad that Chifuyu had to show him how to write and teach him- he really thought wearing glasses would make him smart smh) and if i do read tr I'm gonna start uploading manga panels on my blog as well- so be prepared to be annoyed ig ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
I'll definitely check out the webtoons you sent me (kiss the bet seems interesting and midnight poppy land has popped into my recs a couple of times). I have to watch the next ep of blue lock - curious to know if Nagi's voice is how I pictured it.
I'm doing alright! Working on wips and clearing them, studying, watching shows *sips coke* and listening to music; we hit another mini milestone - 1.2k (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و so I'm working on two fics; angst comfort
istg the way you guys might come at me for this ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
I just wanted to do something fun on the blog hehe- responding to comments with art. It's not very well done, yea but i'm not used to drawing digitally nor anime that often since I sketch paintings and statues... but its just to good around with my followers and to let people know that i do read their comments (๑•͈ᴗ•͈)
Honestly? I don't get interaction on my blog apart from you, 💙 anon and a few more - and - I like talking to you; esp when you mentioned abt having consistency while having to talk to someone? cause that's how it should be- and i don't regret saying this but the number of times i have unfollowed moots cause of this (big author or not; I'm not gonna engage in conversations if i'm going one sided abt this). So now I just prefer to chat with my followers and anyone who wants to drop in my inbox. And no, I don't find you annoying bb; you're very fun to talk to and I look forward to your visits- no matter how many times! This is probably the most interaction I've received in my entire writing experience and actually being treated like a person on the other side of the screen rather than being asked to write a part two (after its already been discussed many times) or asking to be tagged without my work being interacted with- and by interaction i mean telling me and describing to me what you liked about the fic and all that yk. And there used to be some days when I had my askbox closed so this is a pleasant change from that
૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡
so yeah feel free to send as many asks as you want - i'd be happy to see them ( ˊᵕˋ )♡
*sending back warm hugs*

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT TOXIC VULLEIN AND HIS SHIPPING OF DICKDAWN!! he was the one that said that Dawn was going to go after Dick when her and Hank broke up in season 2. And that Dick’s conscious wants to make things right with Dawn by marrying her and having kids with her in the Trigon dream.
Either he’s been quite or I haven’t seen him on my dash but I’m glad he’s disappeared.
Anywho, I love all your analysis as regards to Kory and Dickkory. You always speak the truth and I can’t wait to hear your thought for this upcoming seasons.
He’s still there. Around the end of season 2 he started to pretend he likes Kory and he supports DickKory. He even spread rumors that season 3 would be all about DickKory to get people all excited then was like oops I got that wrong.
He’s been quiet about Titans this time because the show didn’t give scoopers any info or early access this time around. He’s busy annoying other fandoms mostly.
Anyway DickKory is genuinely my favorite tv ship. They aren’t even a little toxic which feels like a miracle these days.

eventually — lexi Howard x f! Reader
Tumblr media
A/N: y’all remember when it was canon that lexi was a lesbian? Don’t come for me!!! ofc your identity can change as you evolve as person (don’t I know it) + I don’t mind fexi since they’re out here changing ages (although this should have been established way before it was put out but hey wtf do I know?) and what not lmao…yet this is for my gays 😘 happy?! Euphoria day? It was a tame impala kinda night when this was written hence the title! Let’s give it up for my girl LEXI ✨
WARNINGS: hurtful arguments, imagery of su*c*de + in no way trying to glorify the matter as many topics in this show are questioned as glamorization. I tried to come up with the idea of writing something for Lexi and her play but thought of who’s really there for her and their purpose in her life and this is the result. It’s also been discussed that euphoria is actually Lexi’s play and that would be interesting if it turns out that way. I can’t wait to actually see what Oklahoma! Is about though. I haven’t seen the Israeli version of this show—which takes on a different approach of it all. Anywho,,, it’s been renewed for season 3 and we’re already strapped in for the ride so who knows where we’ll end up!
( ͡❛ ‿‿ ͡❛) ( ͡❛ ‿‿ ͡❛) ( ͡❛ ‿‿ ͡❛) ( ͡❛ ‿‿ ͡❛) ( ͡❛ ‿‿ ͡❛
Eventually things get better, that’s what they always say right? Or maybe it’s just something to say to provide a ounce of comfort but even still that doesn’t fucking matter if you don’t believe that statement.
Lexi Howard was unsure if she wanted to include you in Oklahoma until you appeared right beside her one night, comfy in her bed, fuzzy socks brushing against the sides of her bare feet, and chin pressed into her shoulder as lexi’s nails clacked over the keyboard.
“I just don’t think it makes sense if I’m not included.” You spoke to the camera, tumbler filled with a iced matcha in your hand—since you didn’t fuck with plastic, “I can honestly say lexi and I have been tight since after her and rue became friends. I came into the picture last, around kindergarten? but I was always the one that remained consistent. So yeah I wouldn’t be upset if she did include me, is what I’m saying.”
You were the first to know all about Oklahoma! even when it started off as a mere thought and nothing more. Once the inspiration took off you were there every step of the way, pacing the room as lexi read out loud what she had and you nodding in approval or suggesting which lines to revise. The both of you had the creative trait, lexi loved writing and books and you loved embroidery and building miniature dollhouses. Both of these hobbies were lame to many kids growing up, which was hurtful to be teased about until you stood up for yourself and best friend.
If these hobbies bought happiness then it didn’t matter what anyone else had to say. It was also nice to know that the both of you encouraged each other to keep going and here at seventeen, that hasn’t changed.
“It’s done, y/n! The third act is completed and we’re having the first auditions on Monday. Do you think people will try out?” Lexi stared at you though her shared vanity’s mirror.
You stood beside her with a smile, “they’ll hear from me if they don’t, even if I have to drag them there myself.”
“Y/n! I can’t force people do anything. I just hope it doesn’t suck and blow up in my face.” Lexi nervously pinched at her bottom lip.
Locking your arms lightly around her neck you replied, “stop doubting yourself. Remember what I said? Negative thoughts put out into the world results in ugly energy returned. Look at yourself and repeat after me: I’m hardworking and did this shit all on my own. I will become a success and I will become a future screenwriter because I’m that bitch.”
Laughing, Lexi shook her head, putting it down shyly after that but you wiggled her shoulder with the open palm you had resting there, “come on say it until you believe it. Or I’ll hang onto you for the rest of the night like a sloth and you know I’ll do it too.”
“That I’m that bitch? You really want me to say all that?” Lexi asked, while you rapidly nodded your head.
Placing her hand on top of yours she gave a convincing smile after two deep breaths, “I’m Lexi Howard, I’m hardworking and did this all on my own.”
“That’s it.” You coached.
“I will become a success and I will become a future screenwriter because…I’m that bitch?”
Snapping your fingers you encouraged her to do it again and again and again until the point she was screaming at herself in the mirror.
Once Cassie walked into the room with her wide blue eyes she stared at her younger sister oddly, “What’re you screaming at yourself for? Weirdo.”
Lexi didn’t spare her sister a glance, a beaming smile was now on her lips as she kept her eyes solely on her reflection. When Cassie didn’t receive a response she just rolled her eyes and plopped on her bed stomach first.
“I don’t know what I would do without y/n’s help.” Lexi chatted to the camera, “I couldn’t ask for a better friend, a better partner, a better person to support my passions. I only hope I do the same in return. She’s actually what inspired the character ‘Evangelina’ which is biblical and ironic since I’m agnostic. Which leaves me to think everyone in your life has a purpose right?”
The first time lexi’s ever been mad at you was when she received a call that you were rushed to the hospital by your older brother due to your heart stopping. Lexi’s had her share of phone calls of her friends ending up in the hospital and it was always a draining experience. It become even more upsetting when it was revealed that you put yourself in the hospital willingly due to a stupid trend of drinking Benadryl as a hallucinogen.
“There’s gotta be more than this…i just wanted to see it.” You croaked as lexi was curled up beside you in your hospital bed.
Lexi wanted to pry on that but you still seemed so out of it. This wasn’t like you, taking risks just for the fun of it. You were normally so animated, full of life but something about that day never felt right to Lexi and she felt the pressure of wanting to do more for the person she loved.
Rue maybe the first person she’s ever kissed but you were the first person she was in love with. It took awhile to figure it out and with the success of the play kicking off, lexi turned into ‘lexi mode’ which unintentionally meant putting you on the back burner.
“Don’t get me wrong lex, I’m super proud of what you’re accomplishing here but that doesn’t mean you get to treat others around you like shit. That’s not you.” You witnessed it all, how lexi became “passionate” behind the scenes at rehearsals but at the same time she was blowing everything off for this play.
Lexi widened her eyes, “i don’t even know what you’re talking about? Its crunch time here, this is how it works. Everything ultimately falls on me and you don’t understand how much pressure that is to make everything perfect!”
“It doesn’t have to be perfect just be realistic here.” You followed her around backstage.
Lexi stopped in her tracks, “well here’s something realistic, stop bugging me and let me work okay?! I don’t need you breathing down my neck anymore, the writings done so i don’t need your input. And unless you’re going to reprise your role as Evangelina…then we don’t have anything else to talk about here.”
That felt like a slap in the face. For many reasons, lexi only tended to get amped up when she was stressed but she was never ever disrespectful. You already felt like you did enough behind the scenes post production for your best friend but the minute she tried to persuade you to play the role you inspired, it took some time since you weren’t sure how it would look on the outside. You read it on paper, fuck, you understood but you decided to step down last minute because your anxiety got the best of you.
Lexi was disappointed but she wouldn’t dare push you. Now it was opening night and she had no regard for your feelings and part of you knew she didn’t mean this, it was just the process of trying to reflect the life she lived to her audience. Lexi wanted so desperately for people to resonate with her work, however it felt like it was you against her in that moment.
And it should have never felt that way. That wasn’t what your relationship was about. It was never about trying to one up the other, no matter what differences you felt about any situation, you still respected each other. Tonight it felt like none of that mattered, like your friendship didn’t.
So you sighed, looking down at your feet briefly as you stepped towards lexi. Lexi felt her throat tightening with each step you made and nervously put her hands behind her back. Your eyes flicked up to meet her brown doe ones and carefully you reached up, resting one hand against the side of her warm neck, while the other curled a strand of hair behind her ear.
“I hope you get everything you finally want and more out of tonight, lex. I hope this play tells you exactly what you need to know about not only us…but yourself. It’s just a shame I won’t be here to see you realize it all.”
A frown immediately set in between lexi’s long brows, “…wha? What’re you saying? You’re not gonna stay? Don’t be like this, I’m not asking you to leave, y/n.”
“…it’s okay. This is your big moment so let them know who you are, lex. I’ll be around, somewhere.” You leaned forward with a smile, placing a kiss to her cheek.
Lexi felt her breathing hitch as you did so, her eyes searching yours before you turned to leave. She grabbed your hand, causing you to glance back at her.
“You’ll be here after the show right? I need you here with me, you know?”
“Oh, I know.” You tilted your head to the side before you lifted your chin, “looks they need you now.”
Lexi turned to Bobbi who stopped in her trail as Lexi turned to her, her high-pitched voice called out to the brunette, waving her over. Lexi nodded her head at the taller girl and faced you, to see that your hand already slipped out of hers and you were heading out the back door. Lexi wanted to call out to you but she wasn’t sure what else she could say.
This didn’t feel right but eventually it would?
Hopefully after the show.
The weight of tears in lexi’s eyes were so heavy that it stung. It hurt to blink, felt difficult to think, and her lungs felt like they weren’t giving her enough oxygen. Tonight was supposed to be her special night, she received quite the applause after the first night of Oklahoma despite the underlying negative reviews from Cassie at first…all Lexi wanted to do was see you as she clenched onto the bouquet of flowers.
“Have any of you seen, y/n?” Lexi found herself asking her group of friends and her mother.
Lexi observed the looks that washed over her friend’s faces.
“Um, Lexi…” Cassie started, shifting from one foot to the other, her eyes glancing from their mother’s to her little sister’s.
Her mother shushed the girl as she tossed a arm over lexi’s shoulder’s leading her away from the group. Lexi could hear the chatter from behind, something along the lines of:
“Did she just say y/n?” Kat asked.
“Fuck, that’s sad.” Maddy added.
“If anybody should say something it’s our mom.”
“I hope she’s aight. That kinda memory is tough.” Fez commented.
“Shit happens, life is rough.”
“Damn rue, really?” Jules hissed.
Once outside Lexi glanced around the dark parking lot, still hopeful as her mother stood before her, rubbing her shoulders gently.
“You did fantastic tonight honey, who knew I had such a talented kid!” Suze grinned.
Lexi put on a faux smile, ‘you’d know that if you paid equal attention to your other child and not down a bottle every other hour mom. I love you but shit, That’s literally what I conveyed in the play.’
Instead she said, “thanks mom.”
Suze fanned her hands as she blew noise out of her lips, “of course. I’m always proud of you, Alexa. You’ve always had your head on straight, just watching everything until you let your mind do what you felt is right. Ever sense you came into this world, your eyes were wide open looking at anything and everything.”
Lexi’s heard this story before but she found herself listening yet again. She was appreciative when her mother took the time to share how she felt about Lexi since everything was always about her big sister, Cassie. Lexi always came second in the Howard household, so tonight felt so special. Yet there was a ache still forming in the pit of her belly. Like her organs were beginning to betray her just like before when the curtains closed.
“You okay, honey?” Suze asked concerned, watching as Lexi unintentionally gripped her stomach.
“I don’t know…I just suddenly feel bad?”
“Ah, it’s the rest of the jitters probably wearing off. You just gotta shit it out or let some gas out and you’ll be fine.” Suze waved her hand around making Lexi scrunch up her nose in disgust, “I know that feeling all too well with IBS.”
“That’s gross, mom! Not every stomach problem has to do with your IBS.” Lexi scoffed.
Suze laughed a little, “sure, sure.”
“…where is y/n? you didn’t save a seat for her? I kept checking to see if she was near you or cass?” Lexi shifted the bouquet to her other arm, who knew: roses, baby breaths, and Solidago’s could be oh so heavy.
Suze let out a low breath looking away from her youngest daughter. There was a shift in the air as the woman got quiet and Suze was hardly ever quiet…unless she was taking one of her many naps.
“Mom, what? Don’t tell me she’s still annoyed with that I said back stage? I can’t believe she would miss opening night!” Lexi huffed, “at least when we’re annoyed with each other we still show up and talk about it later.”
Suze gently said, “Alexa,” and she never called Lexi by her official government so Lexi knew this was suddenly serious, “y/n’s not here.”
“Well obviously…so where is she?”
“Honey…she died remember? On New Year’s Eve at the party you all went to. You were the one who found her out front.” Suze slowly informed.
Lexi immediately stepped back with a shake of her head, “no. No, mom. She was right here helping me write! If you’re trying to play some shitty prank on me right now, it’s not funny. I’m not laughing!”
Suze deeply inhaled, “I know I can be a lot sometimes as your mother but I would never lie to you about something like that. Not about y/n. Not with the love you shared for each other.”
“M-mom. How? How did I let this happen?” Lexi sobbed.
Suze gripped her daughter to her chest, “there was nothing you could have done, she was hurting and she saw no other way out. Don’t blame yourself, she loved you so much.”
Lexi couldn’t believe what was happening right now. How could she have forgotten something so traumatic? She’s faced a lot in her life when it came to never feeling seen, to having a best friend with a addiction, to her dad leaving them behind and choosing thieving and gambling over them all which led to her mom’s drinking problem, and she once had a best friend who made going through life somewhat less harder. And to hear that she was no longer here? What kind of fucked up tale was this?
This wasn’t the way the story was supposed to go!
“…I think we’ll get you back into that doctor soon.” Lexi heard after the buzzing in her ear seemed to block out what her mother was saying.
Lexi wanted to run but all she felt was the buzzing in ear taking over again, she felt herself pulling back from her mother and Suze caressed her face but once Lexi’s vision began to falter out along with her balance, she collapsed against her mother’s arms with her eyes still wide open, horrifying the woman who brought her into this world.
When Lexi gained her vision back along with her senses, she felt the plush of her bed and the lukewarm temperature of a wet rag resting against her forehead.
“Hey, you’re okay.” Cassie carefully sat Lexi’s feet.
Lexi was unsure how long her sister was there but she wasn’t overly thrilled to have her in her face right now.
“What happened?”
“Your vertigo took over, scaring mom half to—it’s scary when that happens, you know.” Cassie caught herself on her choice of her words, which made Lexi feel a smidge thankful. She didn’t want anything else triggering her.
Lexi remained slouched against her swirl pillowcase, “sorry I guess. I was not aware I suffered from that too. There’s apparently so much I’m not aware of these days…which isn’t like me.”
“Right,” Cassie rested a hand against Lexi’s covered knee, “We’re all still trying to figure everything out lex…including what’s going on with you.”
“Really…?” Lexi questioned but wasn’t overly convinced.
Cassie nodded, “well yeah, Oklahoma! told us what we needed to know. Hallie was definitely about me right?”
Lexi couldn’t help but to roll her eyes, “what gave that away? The blonde hair and d-cup boobs?”
“Fuck you.” Cassie laughed, “but seriously, lexi. I never knew you felt that way about our sisterhood…and Evangelina…well y/n.”
Lexi was too tired to dive into that part of Cassie’s sentence since she knew it would turn into an argument. Cassie tended to wear her heart on her sleeve but the minute someone had an opinion that didn’t match her own, she was on the defense, especially if it came from Lexi herself.
“What about y/n?” Lexi swallowed.
A soft smile appeared on Cassie’s lips, “well…you wrote her as grace’s archangel. I also love that you had the actor dressed in white without the cliche wings and ring above their head. Yeah, I picked up on that. That’s just what I gained from the play on that part, she always had this message for grace when issues would occur.”
“Wow,” lexi breathed suddenly plucking the rag from her skin, “I didn’t realize…I can’t believe it didn’t register…” she stumbled over her words.
Cassie kept a smile on her face, “I also thought it was wonderful to have Evangelina and grace share intimate moments without actually kissing. Although it seems like Evangelina wanted you—or grace to be with the other guy, the guy that’s rough around the edges…It’s cool to see the way you view intimacy.
“I don’t think the principal would have allowed any sex scenes. It’s probably not appropriate. and I’m not comfortable showcasing that shit to a bunch of immature horn dogs who don’t value love. There’s much more to sex than fucking to me.” Lexi rambled.
Cassie nodded, “right. Yeah no the intimate moments between each character was just enough and that’s okay. You’re not ready. You write what you know.”
“It’s not like I’m not capable of writing that…I just wanted the focus of Oklahoma! to be about the other factors of life. Something more.” Lexi explained.
“This play was about your healing process. I get that now. At first I was unsure and pissed at some scenes that felt too familiar since you tried to tweaked them but felt like you were trying to out me to Maddy.” Cassie told Lexi who frowned.
“I wasn’t trying to out anybody.” Lexi huffed, “it’s like you’re saying you get it but at the same time you don’t? I was writing about life, Cassie. young life and how it feels at times that you’ll forever be stuck in that moment. How situations feel permanent rather then temporary and clearly in some points, they truly are permanent.”
“And you just so happened to have hallie come clean to grace about her big secret?”
“It’s not much of a secret if you’re being sneaky and acting weird. From barely sleeping, to changing your looks, throwing yourself at a shitty guy to crying and puking on your best friend’s birthday. I just wish you could talk to me like Hallie did with grace, that’s all! But I’m glad you picked that up since everything is always about you!”
“I just said I liked the relationship between grace and Evangelina! And that I understood the play while also relating it to reality. God, if you’re only gonna sit around writing about other people’s shit, you should remember that your best friend or girlfriend or whatever the hell you guys were, died to probably get away from your delusions!” Cassie screamed, now standing at the foot of Lexi’s bed.
“Cassandra!” Suze screamed standing at the door with a bottle of ginger ale and saltine crackers.
Cassie’s eyes widened as she realized what she said and looked back at Lexi who was glaring at her with sea waves in her brown eyes, “oh gosh, Lexi! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that I just—
“How about you shut up for once, Cassie! Just leave me the fuck alone, you’re good at doing that right?”
“Girls. Everyone just needs to take a break and chill out.”
Cassie said nothing, deciding to step out of the room as Suze shook her head at her eldest before coming over to Lexi’s side. She placed everything on her night stand and caressed her face as Lexi turned to put her back to her mother.
“Oh honey.” Suze cooed as she climbed onto the bed beside her child, holding her as Lexi’s body shook with cries, “it’ll all be okay.”
“How?! I couldn’t even remember that one of my best friend’s is actually dead while the other just keeps playing with death!” Lexi sniffed, struggling to stop the cries that escaped her lips.
Suze pushed Lexi’s hair back as she breathed, “…read the note she left you, I think it’s time.”
Lexi lifted her head at that, “y/n left me something?”
“She wouldn’t leave without saying her final goodbye to her best girl��that wasn’t the way she rolled. You know that.” Suze told her daughter who didn’t bother to comment on her mothers terrible attempt at using lingo.
“…where is it?”
Suze dipped her head, pointing at the miniature dollhouse that rested in the windowsill. Lexi felt her body instantly relax at the house you made for her for her birthday last year. Out of the many years Lexi’s seen you work, she never asked for you to make her one or any of the crafts you did. The both of you always came up with something else to surprise the other with but the last birthday felt different. Like the universe knew something that the both of you didn’t.
Up Lexi went on her feet, slowly moving—almost tip toeing to the cottage home. A smile appeared on Lexi’s face as she always told you that she wanted to live in a cottage surrounded by a meadow somewhere, maybe Greenland. You always listened to her wants and needs even if you tended to over talk people when you got excited about something.
Her fingertips gently went passed the front open white doors. They felt around for what felt like a piece of paper and she pulled it out revealing tangerine paper, your favorite color. It smelled like you even with Lexi only holding it up to her eyes.
“Do you want me to stay?” Suze asked.
Lexi turned her head to the side, hearing her mother and shook her head gently.
“I’ll be downstairs if you need me.”
Once the door closed, Lexi climbed back into her bed covering herself with her sheets as she rested on her back. With one hand she held the paper up in the dim of her room while the other ran over her matted sweaty hair.
“Go on, open it.” Y/n encouraged, sitting beside Lexi, perched up on her elbow.
The air felt cold on her end but the comfort of her voice was just enough to keep Lexi going.
Slowly she unfolded the paper but stopped, “if I read this, does that mean I won’t see you anymore?”
“Hey, I don’t know how this thing works. But there’s still pieces of me here with you…that’s gotta mean something right?” You replied.
Lexi scoffed, “so the afterlife doesn’t make sense just like regular life? Got it.”
Your laugh sounded much more melodic now.
Exhaling, Lexi unfolded the paper which read:
Dec. 27th, 2019(?)
Hey Lex,
We both know I’m not the writer out of the two of us but here’s my attempt at it anyways. I’m not sure what possessed me to write for you but my gut told me to and what do I always say about the gut? To always learn from it. It’s not a great feeling to ignore anything the body or universe is trying to tell you. So here goes nothing!
We’re getting to the end of the year and life is always moving so fast that we don’t even see it. We just live. As your best friend, I always loved the feeling of being beside you even with rue entering and disappearing on us like she does! You know that feeling of being the third friend that always has to walk on the side of the street of the sidewalk or right behind two friends? I never felt that with you, you are always patient and aware.
I LOVE that about you.
I see you for what you are and can’t wait for you to see yourself for what you are. That moment will be epic and something will get you there. Maybe your writing? I can see it. We never know what the future holds but maybe everything that’s handed to us currently, will eventually lead us to finally understand that it was all worth it. I hope wherever we are five-ten years from now we’ll be thriving, HAPPIER whether together or apart.
Eventually, eventually, eventually, eventually. I’m always rooting for you and we’ll get there if it’s the last thing we ever do. I love you lex! Here’s to eventually finding out what life is all about.
—Y/N ㋡
The letter was smashed to Lexi’s chest as her brows furrowed at your words. There were so many questions and so many things unanswered.
So she asked.
“What happened from the time you wrote this letter to New Year’s Eve?”
A cold touch ran over her skin, it was your touch and it should be warm but the reality was that it no longer was.
“You know where I come from: a philosopher for a father, a archeologist for a mother—who I lost too soon, and a hippie for a brother. I was designated to look at life differently. I was fine when I wrote that. Excited for you to read it whenever you would find it. But sometimes the a shitty feeling wins and it’s not something anyone could have—I don’t feel like this is the right term…but fix? I don’t want you to be mad at me lex…we’re all on borrowed time…mine just came early because of a bad feeling.”
“But I know I could have done something more! We were improving at communicating, we understood each other better than anyone—at least I thought…but I didn’t see this coming. I didn’t expect to find you laying there on top of that car…”
You nodded. “I know. Don’t think about my ending, there’s no use in that. Sometimes there just isn’t anything more, I found. All that matters is what you have now and what you choose to do with it.”
“So…I’m just supposed to accept that you didn’t see more for yourself? More for us? That it all had to end right there entering the new year?” Lexi was beginning to get frustrated with you or rather the ghost of you?
“Lex, I cannot tell you more than life is forever changing. We knew that the moment we both had growing pains at the same time or when we both got our periods for the first time on the same day—you during the day and myself as soon as the sun went down. We’re forever intertwined, just not physically anymore. You know this based on what your play showed, just open your eyes a little wider when it comes to us.”
Lexi inhaled, tightening her hold on the paper against her chest, “you were there…”
“Every step of the way.”
“I’m gonna miss you, you asshole.”
“I’m clearly not going anywhere just yet. Are we not cuddling in this very moment, Lexi love?”
Lexi sighed, “the only difference is you’re much colder now and my arm might just go right through you. Plus mom and Cassie are gonna think I’m a nut job whenever you decide to pop in for a chat.”
“I’m not fucking Casper! And trust the process.”
Lexi snorted as she repeated, “Eventually, huh?”
“Yeah, now you got it.” You winked, leaning your head against Lexi’s shoulder who felt the weight of you followed by the coldness. Lexi felt herself slightly shiver, until it subsided.
She knew that was your way of providing comfort without even saying.
“…did you enjoy the play? Would you compare it in anyway to the afterlife?” Lexi suddenly asked.
You breathed out a laugh not fully answering the question, probably within good reason, “did I!? I told you grace would be my favorite.”
“Yeah?” Lexi felt heat swirling to the apple’s of her cheeks, “I enjoyed writing Evangelina and seeing her come to life.”
“Really? Hm. I thought you would have picked the character that was inspired by fez.”
“Oh please,” Lexi rolled her eyes at your teasing, “I saw something in Evangelina that immediately made me a fan. I try time and time again to pick her brain while writing her and sure she’ll let you in a little…but angels always seem to talk in code with whatever message they’re trying to leave you with.”
You hummed once more.
“Maybe my death was the message.”
“I don’t know if I want to know what that message is. I don’t know if you sense this but this still fucking sucks.” Lexi was doubtful, as usual. The images of finding you flashed through her mind rapidly like a flash of a camera, the image of you felt all too much like Evelyn McHale.
Lexi squeezed her eyes shut trying to get rid of the memory like she’s unconsciously learned to do.
“I loved you. I’m so sure of it. I just wish we had more time.” Lexi found herself whispering and tears burning her vision again.
“In another lifetime we do.” You smiled.
Lexi sat up, “what? What do you mean?”
“Just look at Oklahoma! You’re not too far off…” you trailed off glancing upwards, “oh, apparently I can’t say anything else.”
“Wait you have to answer to…a higher power?” Lexi frowned.
“Yes. It’s not too controlling though,” You sat up too, gripping Lexi’s neck, “I know you loved me as much as I loved you. It was a pleasure being one of your best friends. To be loved by Lexi Howard, what an honor.”
Lexi shyly dropped her head down, biting down on her bottom lip. She wished she would have said it more to you when you were around, but with the domestic care you shared towards each other it felt like enough then. However lexi found words of affirmation was probably high on her list of how to be loved…and she realized she probably didn’t love you in the way you wanted to be loved. What was your language? Lexi had no issue leaving you little notes or sending loving texts before you saw each other for the day, she had a way with words when she wasn’t being awkward about it.
It should have been evident that the two of you were in love. Maybe everyone around already knew and if they didn’t, the play set the tone of your relationship…if you looked deep enough.
“Ah, There it is.” You smiled at Lexi who finally saw you in color instead of a grainy black and white negative, your form slowly blossomed into a soft peachy hue and Lexi felt like she could finally breathe (normally) in your presence.
Lexi exhaled, “what was that?”
Smirking you leaned towards Lexi, eyes flicking to her lips then back to her cautious brown doe eyes.
“I don’t know, something corny like happiness? You tell me Miss. Writer.” You placed your forehead against her’s, taking in a whiff of her warm vanilla, strawberries, and peonies scent before you laughed into her face once more, then a breeze washed over her frame, signaling your departure.
Lexi threw her hands up at the ceiling despite a smile breaking over her lips, “see this is exactly what I mean about talking in code!”
Shaking her head she threw herself back against her bed, eyes searching for the tangerine note, in which she placed a kiss upon before curling up onto her side and clinging it to her chest once more.
Closing her eyes, Lexi let herself drift off to sleep with the thought that eventually she’ll get it but somehow she was sure that it would all come together. Maybe when she awakes you’ll be right beside her again as she writes about it, pondering over the thought of the love she could give back to you.

Gisborne Coat of Arms
Here’s my first Robin Hood Meta on something not too unexpected. This is brought on with inspiration by the posts I’ve seen from @ilariaeugealtomasini​ concerning the similar topic. (x) 
Let me know your thoughts and I hope you enjoy my ramblings. 
Tumblr media
Being the big TV show/movie buff I am, I usually pay extra attention to detail on certain aspects when I’m watching, but I for sure didn’t think too much on this when I was first watching. I always assumed this was the Locksley Coat of arms just because of the fact Gisborne is in Locksley Manor, but thanks to ilariaeugealtomasini bringing it to my attention, my brain suddenly remembered back to 4th Grade when I first learned about Knight’s and their Coat of Arms. *cue laugh track*
And from there, my brain started replaying everything in Robin Hood once again and the realization only hit me more that it’s the Gisborne Coat of Arms. So, I’m gonna walk you through everything I realized about this because it’s a meta and it’s what I do. :)
How the Coat of Arms First Got Started (here’s the stuff I learned in 4th grade all over again): It’s essentially a symbol that represents their family and it was used to distinguish one Knight from another. When a knight had on his full armor, including plate mail and helmet, even his friends couldn't recognize him. Because of this, knights began to paint symbols on their shields. They eventually began to put the symbol on their banner and the coat they wore over their armor. This is how it got the name "coat of arms". Since there was so many Knight’s, they had to keep the symbol unique and usually had someone (A Herald) keep track of all the different Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms came in different shapes not only for the shield, but for banners, to represent the Knight’s guards, family and etc. 
What do the color’s mean?: Different background color’s came to have different meanings. Gisborne’s are yellow/gold and black. 
Yellow/Gold(Ore) represented generosity, wealth, youth, hope and elevation of mind. 
Black(Sable) represented grief, misery, mystery, constancy, strong, and protection. 
Once I remembered all this, I began looking back at the episodes and noticed that this coat of arms was everywhere and not just in Locksley Village. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here’s his personal guards wearing his colors at the wedding...
I also spotted them riding beside him, sometimes at the castle, but definetly at Locksley with him. Just keep an eye out for the color pattern and you can spot them. They are different from the regular Castle Guard’s by the color’s alone. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here’s the banner throughout Nottingham Town/Castle probably next to the banner representing the village of Nottingham or Vaisey’s own Coat of Arms? 
Tumblr media
Here it even is in Season 3 when he’s working for Prince John right next to the royal coat of arms. Royalty used Red and Gold for their color’s typically and since we know King Richard’s symbol is those colors with a lion, we can be assured this is Prince John’s symbol on those shields with whatever that creature is. 
Tumblr media
The Gisborne Coat of Arms is always there behind every corner and almost usually in the background. The only time I haven't really noticed it, and yes I was looking really hard for this one...was in the Bad Blood episode. That episode is usually considered a big inconstancy with the fandom (or just Season 3 in general), but I thought it should be pointed out because it is important to this post. 
My takeaway from this fact is that Knight’s or Herald’s usually created the symbol’s themselves. Sir Roger (Guy’s father) either had the same symbol or not, we can’t be too sure on it since it was nowhere in the episode, but my thought is that once Guy became a Knight he either took his family symbol and continued to use it, or created his own since he was the last of the Gisborne’s left. 
Anywho, that’s it for my Meta concerning the Gisborne Coat of Arms. It’s been fun exploring that and noticing it. I hope it haunts you in the background of episodes now as it does me. Heh heh. 
Till the next Meta!

Harry Wells x Reader Crisis of Infinite Wells (Part 3 of 5)
Tumblr media
**A/N: The picture/edit/gif does not belong to me. It belongs to @countlesswells
Part 1    Part 2    Part 4    Part 5
*Yes, I know this is super late, but I had so many exams and deadlines shifted due to the transition online. Didn’t help that finals were around the corner either. But I’m back, and hopefully I can make things right with my fics, especially with the fact that we’re not going to get the Alls Wells That Ends Wells episode this season thanks to Ms. Rona (Please don’t come after me T.T). Anywho, this ended up being super, SUPER, long and I have no regrets. I feel that we need this series more than ever. If you already haven’t make sure to check out Part 1 and 2. Don’t forget to reblog and leave a comment, I read them all!
Word Count: 6601
You took in a deep breath, simultaneously opening your eyes to find yourself being hovered over by Caitlin and Cisco
“There’s our sleeping beauty,” Cisco jokes, grinning at you before running back over to the monitors to get a screwdriver.
“Mm, it’s too bright here.” You winced and blinked a few times as your brain had finally registered the bright lights of the Speed Lab. Rubbing your face a few times, you moved slowly to sit up. Stretching your aching body, you cracked a few bones and let out a little noise in contentment. Eyes looking around for a bit, you saw that the Mindscape Machine was still out, and that Cisco had hooked you and Nash onto it. Nash was still knocked out on another bed though because of the sedation. He looked peacefully asleep, as if the weight of his expeditions and the murmurings at the back of his head were gone. He should be coming back soon, I hope.
Cisco noticed where your gaze had gone before grabbing your attention, “Cecile had to go back home to feed a fussy little baby Jenna and Joe, so we ended up resorting to the Mindscape Machine. Went smooth sailing, thanks to our very own resident genius engineer, no thanks needed. All in a good day’s work.”
“I figured when you chimed in saying that we needed to go to the Nexus of Nash’s mind to get out.” You pointed out.
“Nash should be waking up in an hour or so, he’ll be fine I promise. How are you feeling?” Caitlin asked softly as she checked you over for any sign of abnormalities before removing the wires from your head.
“Cold,” goosebumps were already breaking out through your body as a shiver goes down your spine. “Really cold, Caity. Can’t you STAR Labs techies afford heat or something?” You joked, watching a look of fake hurt cross Ciscito’s face, a hand automatically over his heart.
“Dude, it’s like beautiful outside and what am I doing? I was stuck in here babysitting Princess Aurora and Pebble Brain over there until you guys came back to reality. You’re welcome for that, by the way,” Cisco made a face, pointing towards the direction of Nash’s unconscious body with a screw driver before walking back to where you sat, “while fixing these bad boys up,” the mechanical genius gestures dramatically to the tech in the room. “Meanwhile, Barry and Not-Mirror-Iris are on a picnic date in Central City Park enjoying the sunny weather. One which I wanted to do with Not-Mirror-Kamilla first.”
You and Caitlin just giggled at Cisco’s dramatics. Caitlin gave you the ‘all clear’ that your neural functions were still working and that you should be coordinated within your own body.
“So, Persephone,” You rolled your eyes at the nickname and shook your head at the two. Cisco had basically dubbed you and Harry that even before you had gotten together. In secret of course, or else Harry would start throwing things at him for dropping obvious hints of his feelings towards you. It’s at least so much better than Romeo and Juliet because in all honesty, they had a tragic love story and that is something that my love life does not need. More tragedy, internal pain, and suffering. “Did you see your Hades again?”
“I did, yeah.” A soft smile crossed your lips as your mind replays the interaction, your cheeks dusting the lightest color of pink. Your gaze dropped down a bit as Cisco and Caitlin started going “Ooooooo” as if high school gossip girls wanting you to spill the beans while giving you that one look you know all too well. You didn’t have the heart to tell them to stop.
“How is he?” Caitlin asked while Cisco nodded, wanting to know if his friend’s okay.
“He’s good,” you responded with a smitten grin, and then made a little sheepish face. “They’re all good.”
“They?-” Caitlin frowned as she slowly asked with a raised eyebrow.
“-Excuse me? They?” Cisco had a look mixed with dumbfoundedness and disbelief. His mouth slightly open as you saw his mind comprehending that simple sentence. You just nodded with a slightly sheepish grimaced expression. “You-”
“-had to meet the entire Council of Wells and propose to them the Multi-Dimensional idea that could possibly save them all because my boyfriend and a select few of his pals convinced me to since apparently the Wells men tend to have lots of arguments and so they also tend to never get things done sometimes. Yeah. That happened.” You quickly rambling how you met the infinite Council of Wells and then slowed down at the latter sentence with a nod. Cisco and Caitlin were stunned in place as they had tried to keep up with every single word that you said. Before they could even say anything, you spoke up once again as you got off the bed to stand on wobbly legs. “Did I mention that Harry, Sherloque, and Wolfgang are the triumvirate lead of the Council and that Sonny’s their hype man, apparently? I did not ever see that happening.” You ran a hand through your hair, “I have seen things. Standing in a huge lecture-ish mental room in Nash’s mind filled with doppelgangers of Harrison Wells is something I just cannot unsee.”
“No, you can’t.” Cisco added in agreement, his arms crossed. “You met all of them?”
“I mean, sorta. I mainly just stood at the front where the Wells triumvirate take their spots to start their meetings. Ok, so like you know the Galactic Senate from Star Wars where Palpatine and Padme were in?”
“Hell yeah, I do. What do you take me for an uncultured swine?”
“So, like, the layout of the room was sorta styled like that.” Cisco looked slightly mind blown because Star Wars obviously. You located your leather jacket and put it on to have some layer against the cool wind of the AC. “How’s everything coming with the modifications?”
Cisco and Caitlin look at each other before Frost took over for a bit, “I think this is the part where we tell you that they’ve sorta hit a roadblock.”
“Perfect,” you deadpanned, with a slight pain reverberating at the back of your head. I need some coffee, you thought before collecting your things and giving Nash one last glance.
***
I jinxed myself when I told Cisco that I could handle this. Handle them and their stupidity. A frown plastered itself onto Nash’s face, his head throbbing at the legit argument going on at the back of his head. What about? Who the hell knows or cares? Rubbing his face then his temples when the headache started to radiate to the front, the dark-haired explorer let out another annoyed groan as a doppelganger started yelling to contribute to the argument. I have never been more annoyed at the sound of my voice. Nash’s been trying to mentally block them so he himself can think things out, but collectively it hasn’t been succeeding. His heavy footsteps carried him to the Med Bay, thankful that no one was here at this ungodly hour to see him like this. I need an icepack and multiple pills of aspirin. Nash snorted when a mental image of you scolding him for the number of pills he might take to ease the pain was conjured in his mind. You entertained him, is what he told himself, just like the rest of them.
As he entered the Med Bay, the door creaked and the dim lights from the labs allowed him to see a faint silhouette on the bed. Nash raised an eyebrow as he crept slowly towards the bed, gauntlet at the ready.
“Well, speak of the devil,” he whispered to no one in a low voice, forgetting about the throbbing and disgruntled voices in his head. Nash disengaged his gauntlet. On the bed, you were curled up with a thin blanket, clearly still cold, but sound asleep at this hour. Curled up like a kitten and cuddled up to a pillow. Nash’s blue eyes wandered to what’s beside you, seeing multiple papers messily put together and various binders littering the bed. Due to the dimness, he couldn’t really make out any of the writings on the paper at this angle, but the Wells doppelganger can only assume that they’re medical files for Barry and the others.
Nash’s blue  gaze snapped back to you when you emitted a small noise as you shuddered. He didn’t know why, but he made a beeline for the cabinets and closets, finding another thin blanket hidden in them. At least two are better than one. He pulled the thin cloth over you, ensuring that you would be a little warmer than before. Nash’s gaze softened slightly at your tired expression that you carried even while asleep. Shutting his eyes for a bit only to reopen them, Nash curled his hand into a fist then uncurled it. He let out an inaudible sigh, his right hand reaching out to gingerly tuck a strand of hair behind your ear-
“-Don’t you dare touch her.”
Nash felt as if he was shocked on the spot, retracting his hand rapidly as he turned around, coming face to face with the source of the voice. Harry stood with his hands in his pants pockets, a glare present on his face as he watched his doppelganger with angry eyes. Clearly unamused that Nash was getting close to you. Harry’s words, precise and cold, had cut through the air like a sharpened knife, but you couldn’t hear him.
Nash swallowed, sending Harry a smile of mockery. “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to steal her away from you. Unless-” Nash spoke with a raspy voice.
“-You can’t even if you tried,” Harry retorted without hesitation. Nash rolled his eyes taking a few steps closer to his doppelganger. Both men exuded confidence and intimidation towards one another. “Watch yourself, Nash. I have her heart, just as she has mine.”
“You can keep the little lady, for all I care. She’s just good company, you would know that all too well, wouldn’t you Harry? And what do you know, she still owes me a favor. A favor in exchange for my help. I could have easily said no and kept the both of you separated because why would I care if her little heart remains broken and she loses sleep every night over it?” Nash bit down on the inside of his cheek, ignoring that mental image.
Harry glowered at Nash’s cocky words. “When I get back, I’m going to make you regret those words.”
“Look, I’m not interested in her, Harry. Get over yourself and keep her, she’s not that special anyway.” The tension and malice were intoxicating, hanging heavy in the room.
“Are you kidding me? I’m literally in your mi-”
“-Zhe petit fluer ‘as been overworking ‘erself again.” Nash jumped slightly at the new voice, letting out a frustrated breath before turning his gaze towards the French-accented voice. “And you two are ‘ere arguing over ‘er like ‘igh school boys.” Sherloque stood on the other side of the bed as he examined the papers from his height. He was clearly annoyed at both Nash and Harry, narrowing his eyes with an icy look on his face. “Merde, if you want to ‘ash it out, at least ‘ave zhe decency to do it outside,” Sherloque pointedly spoke, crossing his arms.
Harry and Nash briefly looked at each other before moving their gazes back to Sherloque only to find an empty space beside you. Sherloque had retreated back into Nash’s mind in order to sort things out with Wolfgang and the others. J'ai parlé de mes deux cents à ces deux-là. Sherloque took off his fedora and weaved a hand through his dark locks, glancing at the Nexus of Nash’s mind. “Et ce n'est pas bon de se mentir à toi-même, Nash,” the Frenchmen whispered with a knowing glint in his eyes, a stoic smile on his face.
You scrunched your nose and shuffled into a different position on the bed, almost knocking off a binder stack. Harry ignored Nash’s existence, taking a seat on the chair beside your sleeping form and noticing something that anyone else would have missed if they had not been together with you. Nash watched his Earth-2 doppelganger, seeing a certain look cross through Harry’s eyes. Harry slowly reached a hand out only to drop it knowing that he wouldn’t be able to touch you in this state. His hand formed into a tight fist as he dropped it by his side. Harry heavily sighed, shutting his eyes and running a hand through his hair. Nash raked his teeth over his bottom lip, feeling a tiny shred of guilt at Harry’s inability to be here with you. Reopening his azure irises, Harry’s heart stung, and it reverberated throughout his entire being. Oh, how he yearned to hold you again. To be able to wrap his arms around you and pull you close for warmth.
“She’s still cold,” Harry commented his observation, a slightly sullen expression creeping on his face. He readjusted his glasses. Nash raised an eyebrow at Harry’s words. “Just remember what I said. She’s not a prize. After everything you’ve done, she’d never willingly choose you in any lifetime.”
Nash blinked and Harry was gone, the explorer immediately regained composure of himself and his surroundings. Nash felt the tension leave his body, stretching a bit to relieve his muscles. I swear if I roll my eyes hard enough, they’ll fall out of their sockets. With a sigh, Nash gave you one last look before reluctantly shedding off his jacket and pulling it over you. The dark-haired man left the room without sparing you another glance.
What is even considered a prize anymore?
***
It’s been a couple weeks since you had entered Nash’s mind and spoken to the Wells men. Since then they had collectively collaborated with Barry, Cisco, and Chester via Nash to make necessary modifications and electro-/neuro-magnetic adjustments. “I present to you attempt #29,” Cisco announces, sliding out from behind the machinery, with a tool in hand, “which coincidently is the same number of one of my favorite Pokémon from the original 151 of the benevolent Kanto region.”
“Female Nidoran?” You and Barry both questioned the looked at each other. Nidoran is a pretty decent Pokémon, not gonna lie. Poison capabilities that are deadly with a combination of ground-type moves can really have opponents running for the hills without the proper Pokémon to counter its abilities and possible move-sets.
“What? She’s literally a freaking queen in battle and her move-set has been improving tremendously with every generation.”
“To be honest, Cisco, you always struck me for a Poliwag kind of guy when I first met you,” you quipped up. “But I got to say (Insert Favorite Pokémon Type)-types are more my style.
“Nerds,” Nash snickered to himself lowly. You whipped your head back to him, not clearly hearing his exact murmured words, but hearing his voice. The others didn’t hear anything. Nash dropped his gaze away avoiding your look, but not before narrowing his eyes at you. You just continued on with a questioning look, this time your thoughts circulating on if you’d done anything to offend this Wells doppelganger.
He’s been avoiding you since you had entered his mind, which at first you respected because having someone else enter your mind and intrude is weird enough, so you gave him his space. But then it started to turn into him throwing annoyed looks at you when you spoke, gradually and fully ignoring your existence in the Labs as the days went by. Even to the point of not seeking you for medical attention like he normally did when he injured himself in some way. Instead, Nash went to see Caitlin.  
At first you thought nothing of it, Nash probably had his reasons for not wanting to speak to you and you had done nothing wrong in reality that you could recall. But then your anxiety continued to climb as one day passed after another. I’m not a bad physician, am I? I mean, I hope I not. I’ve been doing my best to suture and isolate every variable in order to make correct diagnostics. Nash even ignored you when you asked him if he wanted any coffee when you went on coffee runs. Was it the coffee pun I made? Everyone laughed at it.
“How are the modifications to the dimensional extrapolator coming along?” You asked turning your gaze back to the boys. You sort of regretted asking because you know that they’re going to start talking all quantum physics and math at you.
“Well, after analyzing the multiverse extrapolator and running diagnostics it’s… actually not fit to be modified,” Chester explained, holding up the piece of tech.
“Is that the bad news?” You raised an eyebrow at them, glancing back at Nash for any input, but were greeted with silence.
“I mean, this little baby over here may not be as functional as before, but it does still hold a variety of multiversal coordinates. In which we could cross reference those numbers with any pocket dimension coordinates that we happen to stumble across. Which I’ve got to say is so friggen cool! My world just keeps exploding, first there were multiple universes and doppelgangers, then black holes- but I created that on accident- my bad, by the way-” Chester continued in a quick ramble with a huge and excited grin on his face. If you didn’t know better, he seemed as eccentric as the energizer bunny, you just nodded along politely. “-And now we’ve got pocket dimensions! We really are breaking all the rules of physics-”
“-Chester, grab me the-”
Barry leaned in close, cutting off your focus from Chester’s hyper rant and Cisco’s shout, “We basically need to develop a new extrapolator.”
“That makes much more sense, but I was following Chester’s rant, thank-you-very-much. Sort of. ” you nodded sheepishly at your friend before sending him a teasing smile. Barry held his hands up in defeat. Barry let out a laugh. “How’s Iris?”
The speedster nodded, directing his gaze to the side so you two can side bar. “She’s doing ok, keeping an eye on Eva while running the Citizen. The headaches have receded, but she’s a bit disoriented at times. I’ve had Cisco and Chester install different meta security measures in case Black Hole decides to make a guest appearance.”
“But is she ok? Mentally?”
“She’s… jumpy at times. Iris told me she trusted Eva when she entered Joseph’s hidden lab. That Eva was the reason that she doubted herself in seeing the truth and her instinct that Iris’s always trusted. She told Kamilla the same thing. We’re trying to work through it.”
You patted Barry’s back, “Just let me know if I can do anything to help. If it means anything, Harry taught me how to use his pulse rifle for a worst-case scenario.” You grinned up at him, secretly always wanted to have a reason to put your sessions with Harry to the test.
Barry chuckled and shook his head, knowing that Harry would kill him if he had allowed you to be put in harm’s way. “I think we’ll be good, but thanks for the tip.” You pouted at your best friend before a small laugh leaves your lips.
Nash took a glimpse of you over his shoulder as you giggled at your best friend. He thanked the stars that he was able to reuse the tech from an older MAD produced by Harry and synthesized it to become a mental block between him and the other Wells so that they wouldn’t interfere with his thoughts or pop up randomly. Nash called it Psyche Block. All he had to was to make sure it was on whenever he was in the labs. She hasn’t been sleeping well. He could oddly tell with one look. That small moment of weakness allowed the sharpened tool in his hand to slip his grip and pierce the skin through his entire palm. The dark-haired Wells let out a sudden gasp, blood oozed out profusely. A few droplets had fallen onto the hard drive of the Neural Splicer, short-circuiting it. Your ears caught the noise somehow, frowning your eyes caught Nash leaving with quick steps.
“I-I gotta go…” you whipped your head back to Barry, who had watched the glances that you had thrown at the Wells doppelganger since you entered the room. You pointed to the Speed Lab’s exit, “Do this… this thing.” Barry nodded with a teasing grin at your awkward attempt to excuse yourself, gesturing towards to door.
You were already leaving as you spoke to the speedster. Entering the corridor with swift feet you slightly managed to catch up to Nash. Damn him and his long legs.
“Nash!”
Nash’s blood ran cold at the sound of your voice. He willed himself to not look back, instead to carry on his way to the Med Bay. You saw that he clearly ignored you, which caused an ache to echo throughout your body. With every fiber of your being, you sprinted forward as fast as you could to come to a stop right in front of him causing the geological myth-buster to stop as well, midway to the medical room with an irritated façade on his features. Nash remained silent as you caught your breath, he held a cautious hand out to put up distance between you both, to not have you come any closer.
You opened your mouth to question him instantly at his gesture, but your eyes quickly caught sight of his bloodied hand. Sharp instincts assessing that the wound had been the cause of his escape from the Speed Lab. “You’re hurt.” You ignored his eye roll, taking a step forward and snatching his hand gingerly to examine it. He hadn’t realized that he stopped you with his bloodied hand. The droplets of red had splattered onto the concrete floor, creating a puddled mess of crimson. “Nash this needs stitches. Immediately.” Looking up at him, Nash exhaled roughly side-glancing away in frustration before meeting you with cold eyes. But you did not yield under the coldness. “I can suture this. All we nee-”
“-I don’t need your help,” was his rapid and frosty response. He blinked at you, holding his ground.
“Then who’s help are you going to need, huh!? Caitlin? Last time I checked she was at her mother’s facility because of the bullet-light-energy shot that Black Hole gave her,” You frowned deeply at him with fiery eyes, you had never combusted like this in a really long time. “Can you suture this by yourself?” You asked rhetorically. “This cut is too deep to just put a band aid on it and call it a day.” Nash opened his mouth to retaliate, but you cut him off in a softer voice. “I know that you hate me,” Nash narrowed his eyes at those words, “but let me help you.”
Nash pursed his lips, looking into your pleading eyes and inwardly cursed himself. With a sigh, the older man followed you to the Med Bay, where you proceeded to stitch him up and fully sterilize the wound from the blood and bacteria/bacteriophages that could enter the cut.
“You’re only looking after me because of Harry.” You heart stopped at the sudden words, slicing the air of the room. “What? Nash, that’s not true.”
Nash let out a mirthless laugh. “Isn’t it?”
“It’s not, I can’t believe you would even think that.” You berated him with a serious look, but he just waved you off. You pursed your lips at the silence. “Why do you hate me?” You looked up as you finished your work, eyes meeting his light blue colored ones that you had stared into before. Nash licked his lips, eyes darting to anything else, avoiding the kicked puppy look on your face.
“I don’t hate you.”
“Was it the coffee pun?”
“No”
“The Pokémon nerd talk?”
“Unfortunately, no”
“Then, what is it?”
“It’s- I…” He started, taking a breath in. “Quae dicunt, facite vobis cor eius. Quod pertinet ad eum. Nusquam potuerunt alium, qui non pertinent ad quis enim concupíscit.” The dark-haired man raked an uninjured hand through his hair as he fisted his wounded one, feeling its stitching.
“What?” You raised an eyebrow in confusion. Nash stubbornly shook his head, not wanting to repeat his words.
“Nash, I don’t understand what foreign, dead language you just spoke, but you’re my friend. I’m always going to care for my friends, even and especially when I’m involved with Harry. They’ll always be in my heart, no matter what. And that includes you too, you stubborn idiot.” You grinned at him with sincere intention, placing a hand gently on his clenched fist. A reluctant smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. “Now, you need to let that heal. So, no tech tinkering or spontaneous adventures in the middle of the day until the stitches come off, doctor’s orders.” You winked, smiling widely at him. You moved to leave the room, throwing one last look back at him.
Don’t- Don’t fucking do that, Nash bittersweetly thought to himself as he rubbed his face when you left the room. Don’t give me that… that smile, saying things like that. He sighed for the nth time that day, unfurling his hand to observe your handiwork.
***
You entered Nash’s mindscape once more, searching for Harry to spend some time with him. Nash had opted to stay behind until you were ready to leave his mind, particularly moody about not wanting to see his doppelgangers because he sees enough of them. He had upgraded the MAD 2.0 so that Cecile’s presence and powers wouldn’t be required for today. Nash, the Wells, and the Team Flash boys have been working closely the past couple of days to ensure that the Psyche Segregator (that’s the current name for all the machines interwoven together) would be fully functional. The extrapolator was essentially finished, it just needed the proper orientation for dimensional coordinates that the Wells doppelgangers would need to report.
You walked down the rocky caves of Nash’s mind before hitting a modern looking corridor that similarly belonged to a level in STAR Labs. With a questioning look, your feet continued on as you decided the top floor would be the place that Harry should reside in with Sherloque and Wolfgang. Entering the vacant elevator and ascended each level, you soon found yourself in front of what looks to be Harry’s office from Earth-2.I guess you can change the layout of things if you’re the Mindscape’s master. You pushed the door open, the lights automatically illuminating the room before scanning the area to find it vacant. Your shoulders sagged a bit. Where is he? I thought Nash told Harry that I was coming. Glancing around a bit, you took a seat at the main desk, finding Harry’s glasses. You made the mistake of putting them on as Harry entered the room with a coffee mug in hand. Harry froze at the door as your gaze instantly locked onto his, glasses still on his face. You blinked at one another. It didn’t take long from a wicked grin to cross his handsomely rugged features at the sight of you.
“Don’t you know you shouldn’t take what’s not yours?” Harry shut the door and came around the desk. So he decided not to show up this time. Harry quickly dismissed the thought from his mind, shifting his focus more to you. He noted your exhaustion and would berate you regarding it later.
“Who said they couldn’t be mine?” You teased back as you stood up, slipping the black frames off you and folding them to clip the glasses onto the collar of your top. Harry let out a deep chuckle, a giggle leaving your own. Your boyfriend set down his cup of java on the upper corner of the desk and dipped down to kiss you. He nipped at your lips when you responded to his sweet kiss before pulling away. Harry enjoyed the slight flush on your cheeks, a reaction only he could elicit with his existence. “What was that for?”
“What? I can’t give my lady a kiss?”
This smooth fucker. The heat in your heart intensified at his words and adoring gaze. You were going to unclip his glasses and hand them to him, but his hand stopped you. To anyone observing the scene, they can literally see heart eyes happening between the two of you. “Your lady may want more than just a simple kiss,” You giggled, your voice lowly enticing before pulling him back in, cupping his face with steady hands as your lips collided. Harry let out a laugh against your mouth, bracing his arms around your waist only to maneuver you to sit atop the cool desk.
Gasping at the sudden movement, Harry pushed his tongue into your mouth. You allowed him to slot himself between your legs, pulling him closer and running feather-light touches through his untamed hair. He groaned against you at your touch. God, you missed this closeness! Every time his lips met yours in fervor his grip on your hips would tighten slightly, sending a small shiver to run down your spine. How is it that this all feels so real?
His name escaped your swollen lips when Harry decided to head south, nipping at the nape of your neck before sucking on your sweet spots. How could he forget where you’re most vulnerable to his touch? Your hands gripped onto his shirt. A small noise left your lips, tilting your head more to the side to give the Harry more access to continue his conquest. The room felt hot, your body on fire at every one of Harry’s kisses as he marked your skin. You breathed his name again and Harry could not think straight. One of his strong hands left your side and cradled your face as his lips re-connected with yours once more in a searing kiss. His thumb gently stroked your cheek. How can the way you simply utter his name allow Harrison Wells to abandon all self-control?
Sherloque strode into the room with his cup of tea only to almost drop it at the scandalous scene in front of him. “Mon Dieu! Ayez de la décence!” You and Harry had ripping apart from each other at the sudden outburst, both of your heads snapping towards him. Harry sent a glare at Sherloque, who responded with an annoyed eyeroll at the couple. “At least lock zhe door if you’re going to get all ‘andsy wizh each ozher,” the detective grumbled before leaving the room and shutting the door. Your cheeks were on fire at this point, opting to look at your folded hands that rest on your lap. But Harry did not look ashamed in the slightest, instead a smirk on his face at your sudden bashfulness. You soon snapped out of your embarrassment when a thought had crossed your mind.
“Harry?”
“Hm?”
“Did you say anything to Nash?”
“No,” he lied, glancing up towards the ceiling.
“Uh huh,” you looked at him dubiously with narrowed eyes, “you know that I can tell when you’re lying, right?” You spoke with crossed arms.
“…” Harry’s eyes met yours and you raised a questioning eyebrow at him for an answer. He briefly shut his eyes before reopening them, “I may have… warned him not to come near you and such.”
“Warned or seriously threatened to utterly destroy?”
“… maybe a bit of both…”
“Harry!”
“What?! Do you not see the way he looks at you?”
“The way he what!? Harry, he’s my friend. Just like Sherloque and HR.” You sighed as he pouted sheepishly at you. “Honestly, you know I only have eyes for you.”
“I know, it’s just…” Harry trailed off.
“It’s just?”
“I’m not here. Physically here, to be by your side. To go home with you at the end of the day. Especially at the labs when other versions of myself show up out of nowhere and seem to try to get all chummy with you.”
You blinked at Harry a few times. “Are you… jealous?” Harry didn’t respond, grumpily frowning at your words as he attempted to avoid your gaze. He didn’t like that word. “You are, aren’t you?” The butterflies in your stomach fluttered as you teased him, knowing that his silence was proof enough. Harry sighed, pulling you in a close hug and you felt his head nod in dejection. Harry didn’t want to admit it out loud, that’s just how he is. You rubbed his back, “You know it’s ok to be jealous, right?” Harry let out a sarcastic exhale, resting his chin on your shoulder. You kissed the side of his head, “How do you think I felt every time a young bachelorette sauntered her way towards you at all those galas that we attended? All those thirst cubes you kept receiving? I swear Jesse had to hold me back before I was about to throw some hands, verbally and politely, but effectively scathing.”
Harry snickered at how you’ve dubbed the cubes he’s received from various women ‘thirst cubes’. “Every night, you were the only thing that I would see.” You gave him a tight squeeze before pulling away to give him a soft kiss.
“And you’re the only Wells that my heart wants to be with.” You smiled up at him before it suddenly dropped.
“What?” Fear grappled Harry’s heart. “What is it?”
You swallowed your own fear that had climbed into your throat. “It’s just… this is the last time that I’ll see you before… we have the systems go online to-” You trailed off as you directed your gaze to the ground, gesturing to your theory going into action as you did so. Harry pursed his lips, tilting your head up to look at him. Your eyes glistened in the calm lighting of the office, your voice cracking, “I’m not going to be there when you wake up, Harry.” The realization struck him as well, his eyes glancing down for a split second before meeting yours again.
“I’ll still find you. I’ll still come for you on Earth-Prime.”
There was a sudden knock at the door that snapped yours and Harry’s attention towards it, followed by a clearing of the throat and a thick German accent. “If you bozh are done in zhere, I’d like for eine kleine assembly to ‘appen.”
***
Diese beiden schwöre ich. “I don’t… even vant to know vhat you two vere doing.” Wolfgang deadpanned, holding blueprints in one hand and adjusting his glasses. Sherloque stood beside him with a new cup of tea in hand, this time without a fedora.
“We would never-”
“-We were having fun.”
You stumbled over your own words while Harry had owned up to his. You failed to realize the light hickies still on your neck until Wolfgang narrowed his eyes at you and Sherloque rolled his eyes as he watched the exchange. Harry knew they were there; he just didn’t point out that they were visible arm’s length away. Damn it, Harry! Your cheeks heated up and now you’re wondering if your real body now has hickies on them because there’s about to be some words thrown your way by two or three particular members of Team Flash.
“Ah ah ah ah, nein. None of zhat,” the German waved you two off with his hand, “just keep your ‘ormones at a decent level until ve get our bodies back. Zhen you two idiotenliebhaber can do whatever it is you two do when not in a crisis.” You dipped your head down shyly, but that didn’t stop your boyfriend from nudging your side and giving you a smug-ass grin. You glowered at him as he wiggled his eyebrows at you before Wolfgang caught your attention again. “Anyvay, ve need to discuss somezhing else vizh you. Sherloque und I vill also be coming to Earzh-Eins.”
“Why?”
“In case,” Harry started, “I don’t make it in time to recalibrate the Multiversal Communications Projector before all the others. Earth-Prime will essentially give the green light to the others in the multiverse to send in their coordinates.”
“We’ve already figured out Earzh-Prime’s dimensionale coordinates,” Sherloque added in. “Une sécurité intégrée vaut mieux que rien.”
You nodded at their words. I mean it makes sense, but… Wolfgang took out a couple sheets of paper that had been rolled up and hidden in the rolled-up blueprint file, handing it to you. “What’s this?”
“Ein liste of names of all the present Vells who’s neurological vavelengths are entangled vith Nash’s,” Wolfgang stated nonchalantly. “It seems zhat some Earzh are either permanently vacant or do not ‘ave ein Vells.”
“Like Kara’s Earth, old Earth I guess,” You responded, holding the sheets. “She’s Supergirl, used to live on Earth-38. Barry had accidentally multiverse jumped to Earth-38, thanks to Harry. He said that no one from Team Flash’s doppelgangers were on Earth-38, unlike Earth-2 and Earth-19.” Earth-19 Your eyes scanned the list; Wolfgang had done you a great favor in numbering it in Earth order. Could he..? The thought was soon shut out as you looked through the list.
Harry watched as your shoulders sagged, knowing who you were looking for. He pocketed his hands as a fake smile plastered itself onto your face.
***
The day had finally come. It’s time for the boys to come back home. Everyone had gathered in the Speed Lab. The machinery interconnected to one another as if interwoven into one mechanical creature. Your heart pounded in your chest and those dubious thoughts returned, but you willed them back. You needed to believe that this can work. Chester and Cisco were calibrating the tablets and satellites, running newer and improved diagnostics for this moment.
“That favor, that you owe me,” Nash’s voice caught your attention, snapping you out of your trance. You looked up at him with a quizzical look.
“Yeah?”
“I’m cashing it in,” Nash’s voice rasped as he took your hand. You humored the geological explorer. “Protect Allegra,” he whispered, his eyes glancing in her direction as her was turned because she was added the finishing touches with Cisco. The simple wish had surprised you, yet at the same time it didn’t in the slightest. “Please.” He sounded like a dying man marching to his death. And in a way he was if this doesn’t work.
“Always,” you nodded at him. Leaning up, you kissed his forehead softly before placing the Psyche Segregator on his head. “Thank you.” Nash remained silent and only closed his eyes as he sat back down. Releasing a breath, he reopening those piercing blue eyes filled with determination, but you can see that behind it there was a form of fear. He nodded. You nodded back at him, taking a step backwards before looking at the others. It’s time. Cisco handed you the tablet that held the ignition keys. You took in a breath, the weight of the tablet seemingly heavier than ever before. A multiverse of lives held within the tips of your fingers, only fate will decide if they live or die.
Your eyes met Nash’s one last time. Doubt choked your heart, but there was no going back. “Here we go,” you spoke each word slowly before pressing the button to ignite the Psyche Segregator.

Loud House Reviews: Racing Hearts
Tumblr media
Welcome back errbody. Continuing the Salauna trilogy with Racing Hearts. We’ve already seen the cute asking them out story , now comes the actual first date.. which ITSELF is massively important. Keep in mind even though Nick fully supported L is for Love and the crew put a lot of work into it given how good it turned out, Sam easily still could’ve vanished into Limbo. For it’s first 2 seasons loud house, the show HAD continuity: Once Ronnie Anne and Bobby moved away to set up their spinoff, there was an episode with Lincoln’s friends trying to help him deal with missing her in the first ep giving any of them  besides Clyde focus, a trend that would continue, they still showed up via video chat or in person where waranted and there was a full episode about Lincoln’s group of friends trying to help him deal with it... which also reminds me of a smiliar episode of ned’s declassified that was really damn good but unrelated to this... seriously that show is underated and I hope with the Netflix deal it shows up there.  Anywho back on the show we’re actually talking about, the show didn’t really have arcs, thigns that carried from episode to episode.. until Season 3. Season 3 is where the show REALLY hit it’s stride, with it now fully being an ensemble show and more continuity injected int, not interfering iwtht he show’s episodic nature but making it feel like events had meaning. Stella was introduced in “White Hare” and later got a full introduction that i’ll no doubt cover with “Be Stella My Heart” and afterwords rather than being forgotten entirely like the show used to do became part of his friend group in their episodes. Lynn SR. was revealed to have quit his office job to work at a restraunt and was working on opening his own, which while only a two episode arc, lead to the opening of Lynn’s table in the finale and it’s stuck around since. And Leni got a job at a clothing store she’s kept since and friends at said job who’ve shown up since.  See i’m fine with a show not having heavy duty continuity or serilzation, some shows thrive there but I love it when shows do this: even if it’s not all about plots, things progresing or being followed up on makes the show feel more vibrant and keeps it from stagnation in my book.  And as as show with a bunch of girls at dating age, it was invetivible theird’ be recurring romantic arcs, hence Chaz is mentoined as dating Leni, if not given any real focus so far hopefully that’ll change, while Luaan, in this episodes pairing brother, and most importantly Luna got followups on theres. And thus that brings us here to racing hearts,where nick earns the praise they got from l is for love by following up on it and showing in no uncertain terms the two as a blossoming couple.  I get to the actual episode under the cut:
We start with Lori being upset the bathroom is being taken up.... and that brings up a small issue I have: .. WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE BATHROOM FOR 10 KIDS. I do assume Lynn Sr and Rita have their own, and that it might be hard to put another one up there for plumbing reasons, but it still seems WEIRD to not have more than one up there or close to the stairs so that it dosen’t take 50 years for 10 children to get ready. And yes I said 10, Lily has a diaper and isn’t potty trained yet and any cleaning up or getting dressed, when needed, falls on Rita or Lynn Sr. But still it’s a LOT to ask for 10 children to share share one bathroom peacefully and it’s only through the power of not wanting to spend an animation budget on it that the bathroom isn’t a constant disaster area.  Anyways it’s actually Luna who, to her sister’s shock, is in a facemask getting ready to go to the Royal Woods Astonishing Quest with Sam for their first date. Naturally the other two are excited, and Luna, despite her usual nerves, is actually incredibly stoked and feels it’ll go perfectly. 
Tumblr media
At any rate, she’s happy and Lynn comes in to kick everyone out to scrape off her callosuses instead of you know... having Lucy leave their room or doing it while she’s not there, butttt that little detail is actually a tell for later so fair play to you. Plus Lucy may just understandably find int gross and Lynn dosen’t trike me as good at picking up after herself. As it turns out to no one’s shock, Lynn was banned last year for being a sore winner and rightfully so as we see in flashback, but she’scome to terms with it... wink. But they agree to leave as the louds need to get over there anyway.  Cut to the ASTONISHING QUEST.. which turns out to be a scavenger hunt with admitely a great name. Seriously someone use that. But we see tons of returning charcters including Scootst, Pop Pop and his girlfriend, and... 
Tumblr media
...........
youtube
I”d apologize for thatbut I feel that way any time I see the little weirners face. Be glad this dosen’t happen every time he shows up.  On the bright side he looks as dead inside as I do whenever I find out he’s in an episode, and Zack looks the same amount of dead inside.. probably because he realized a filing cabnet would’ve been a better partner. A review of your choice for the first person to get that reference and send it to me.  Thankfully my extesntial dread at seeing a Rusty cameo is lifted when Luna meets up with Sam and the two are awkard dorks together for a second as they figure out what greeting to do, settling on a handshake. It’s fucking precious. We then meet Royal Wood’s Mayor, voiced by Shirley! Now if she’d just show up on Ducktales already. Though hearing her reminds me I should do some Harvey Beaks reviews at some point... anyways, she announces the quest and Clyde and LIncoln make a fist bump while Lori and Leni stare down their parents like their about to start brawling in the streets then and there. What.. what have you guys done to each other over the years at these things? I want to know the history there. Have astonishing quest show up again in another season. I”d also love an Brooklyn Nine Nine style heist episode with this show .  Anyways, the rules are laid out: Each team is given an evelope with a clue, standard scavenger hunt contest stuff, and have challenges at each location to complete. The first team to finish wins the key to the city.. er a tiny trophy with you did it on it. Honestly that last one’s better anyway. Anyways after from trashtalk from Scoots and her partner Helen, who seems oddly familliar, we’re off! The first clue is easily figured out by Luna and the two old ladies quickly take advantage of Luna saying it loud where everyone can hear it by heading off: It’s off to Lazer Maze , the local Lazer Tag.  The guy there gives them their challenge: They need to get 500 points to get the next clue. Luna takes to it like a fish to water and easily tags Lisa and her friend Darcy... another nice little cameo. And it also shows something I like: not only are all the louds except Lynn, whose banned, and Lily, whose a baby, are competting on their own. And only Lori, who pops back up in a bit and Leni,whose partnered with her are plot relevant, but the episode easily could’ve left them out or used extras for the other teams but wisely decied to instead use characters we’re familiar with. It adds a nice touch that makes this feel like an actual event and make sme wish the show did more townwide events like this. Stars hollow it up. You have a fun character in the mayor, who was hilarious in her one minute here, you have your taylor. Just give her a quirky sidekick and have fun with it. Granted I want every series to have a little gilmore girls in it, but still.  Anyways Sam botches it and instead of shooting the golden girls shoots Luna by accient, though by the next cut they have their points, and the lazer tag guy encourages them anyway. Sam apologizes not being good at Laser tag but Luna happily shrugs it off: While she enjoys it it’s not for everyone. Anyways it’s Luna’s turn to be confused while Sam easily figures out the clue: IT’s off to the farm. And if you wanted the exact oppsite of my reaction to a Rusty cameo...
Tumblr media
youtube
Yeah while my reactions to Rusty is “Why haven’t you died on the way to your home planet yet?” My reaction to Liam is pure joy. He’s like this generation’s stinky peterson and I love it and has a nice enjoyable personality instead of being my own personal Kahn.  Anyways LIam’s challenge is to get Eggs from the chickens. Which Sam does easily.. Luna however is nervous to start despite Sam’s reasssurances.. before totally freaking out. To be fair though, chickens can be downright terrifying. Just look at Poyo
Tumblr media
And why yes that is a chicken hell lordd whose also a cyborg  bisecting santac lause. And why no, you are’nt getting any more context than that, go read Chew.  Anyways theys till have enough eggs to complete the challenge, if now splattered in egg and with Liam disapointed with their shenanigans, but being a professinal about it. Total pro. Anyways, Sam is just as ready to brush it off as Luna, noting farms just aren’t for everyone. I also like this plot in general because while it has the series habit of “thing happens again and again and again then climax” it’s used to flesh sam out a bit. While she is there to be Luna’s love intrest, being a love intrest dosen’t mean a character can’t be good or fleshed out. Just look at tom from star vs the forces of evil for a good example of that.  Anyways it’s once again Luna’s turn to figure out the clue and we’re off to Werk It Dance studio.. I gurantee it was going to say twerk it but nick was like “oh honey no. “. The name is just awkward otherwise. Or maybe i’m just old. Also the twins are there. Just a nice thing to note and two characters I THINK are from an episode I haven’t watched yet but read about. Anyways, Luna’s pumped while sam has “oh crapbaskets” written all over her face and quickly does terribly. This one however is .. not as easy to brush of. Not liking going to farms or laser tag is easy, there just things not to do on dates. Not dancing.. is hard when your both musically inclined people whose taste in music is why you met in the first place. While they try to gloss over it, it’s clear this is an issue and worries them both.  Moving on you know the drill at this point: Sam gets the clue, Luna dosen’t, we’re off to rock climbing. Sam utterly loves it while Luna is terrified. Moving on We cut to Luna, whose sitting down feeling depressed, aka my natural state these days, when Lori and Leni show up. Lori even gave her a cute backpack for the quest.. that has a leash attached. I’d say it’s a bit extreme but i’m half convinced this happened at some point and is the reason Leni dosen’t wear laces. 
youtube
Luna is of course spiraling because it turns out she and Sam don’t have a lot in common. Lori however gives some really good advice: Turns out she and Bobby hit some of the same problems and she just suggest they both try embracing things the other person likes. Even if it dosen’t work, shocker given the episode is far from over yet, it’s not bad advice and I like that in relationsihp based episodes it’s Lori who tends to be the one helping out, having the most experince to deal with that and a, at least by this point early Lori could be a bit TOO asholish sometimes, really solid couple.  And if you read this before I apologize because for some reason Tumblr decided to EAT A THIRD OF MY REVIEW FORCING ME TO REWRITE IT. And yes i’m ranting a bit but in my defense I worked hard on this and to have most of it chewed up through no fault of my own pisses me off and thus I needed to rant a bit. Back to the review! So Luna tries Lori’s approach while Lori runs off to find Leni who got off the leash.. again. SHe’s probably just going to sniff some ground, eat the plants,she’ll be finnne Lori. Anyways Luna and Sam go to the local health smoothie shop, the kind of place that is my nightmare for people like me with Orangutan bods but makes sense Sam would be into, and the next challenge is identify what this smoothie is made of. I”ve played this game before: my guesses were fish bones,chicken bones, and dry bones.... seriously the glass was just purred bones. I never bought a smoothie from that guy again.. mostly because someone called the cops. There’s a lesson in that. Luna however spits hers out.  IN a break from formula the next activity is for Luna to come sail away, come sail away come sail away with Sam.. whose actually a pretty apt sailor. You can guess the rest. Luna botches it, they still get the clue, yadda yadda time for the sad part. The two have an honest discussion abotu the fact that despite chemstry being there, they seemingly have nothing but their music in common and are diffrent people, with Luna glumly resolving to finish the race as friends and neither being happy. WHelp my heart just broke, next episode.  So Mayor SHirley from Community greets the girls at the final challenge: A bake off... because apparently just being the first one there wasn’t good enough... then again i’ve seen far worse rule changes by a far smugger canadian man so i’ll let it slide. Thankfully the universe throws the two a bone: Neither can bake. What follows is a damn adorable scene: The two touch hands and blush over butter, before working in synch.. and Sam then procedes to cause their pie to explode in her face.. I could’ve phrased that better, but Luna giggles at it, Sam playfully tackles her giggling insues and the two end up on the ground, smiling at each other. Also Helen and Scoots win. Who cares. Luna realizes from this that she was an idiot to suggest giving up so soon, and proposes they simply try to find things they like together rather than focusing on their diffrences. Because as a coked out cat who sang a duet with a coked out Paula Abdul once said:  If things go wrong we make corrections, to keep things goin in the right directions, try to fight it but i’m telling you jack, it’s uselss opposites attract! By the way the show really dropped the ball not having Luna mention this song titles in one of her song refrence things she does this episode. Anyways the two decide to start dating and then hug. My heart.. it’s too full.  We end the episode on the reveal Helen is Lynn, a nice payoff for earlier as Lynn rides off on her elderly partner in crimes scooter into the sunset while Luna and Sam giggle and look on. Like any great love story. And we’re out.  Final Thoughts:  Okay second time around with this, and it’s a great ep. The repetition hurts it SLIGHTLY, but Sam and Luna’s chemistry helps the episode as does it’s terrific aseop: You don’t have to be exactly alike to love a person, or like the same things.. as long as you connect, and TRY to find things you both enjoy, you’ll be fine. The episodes also helped by plenty of nice little cameos, showing off the series new grasp on continuity, and Lori being Luna’s advisor and Lynn naturally being the douchey rival to them and everyone else. Overall a solid ep that was a natural step forward and set up a good status quo for Sam and Luna. The next ep dosen’t feel as natural a story step, but is still a nice one and the one that insipired me to take the leap and review these eps so join me next time as our faviorite couple bond with some cats and get into some scooby doo door shenanigans with “The Purrrfect Gig” Until then later days.

in full transparency, last night i asked for you all to share the things you’re missing and grieving. I thought I could hold a place on this blog for the collective grief we are all feeling, even for one ask session. but it became too much. everyone is properly upset and I apparently don’t have capacity right now to offer words of support to all. And I don’t necessarily think that I need to.  It’s okay that this sucks. There is a moment of collective grief we’re all feeling, we are all missing different things. It’s okay not to compare your loss to someone else’s. A loss felt by you is still a loss. We’re all coping, yeah? but i did read all of your responses, and I’m putting them under the cut if anyone wants to read. I hope you do give it a read because it does affirm that we aren’t alone. 
love you all <3 <3 <3
anonymous: My bf broke up with me cause he couldn’t handle the distance due to corona... now I grieve what we could’ve been. I miss him so much.
anonymous: grieving the loss of my senior year of college, my cancelled thesis, my graduation, my job, and my application to grad school which is postponed indefinitely while I work out the requirements. Would love suggestions on how to fill the void 
anonymous: i'm grieving the loss of my racing season. i didn't think it was as devastating as it would be but losing all the work that my team put in for years to get where we are today and losing the chance to prove ourselves at nationals.... has been just that... devastating. i can say though that this quarantine has brought the team close together and i am finding myself. thank god i have the ability to but i am looking at myself as a person instead of just a student, athlete, etc. and figuring out myself in the process. whether that means hobbies, what to do with my future, or just what fulfills me, i'm learning a lot of things about myself. also the weather was gorgeous out today and i was able to get a walk with my dad in after my workout. beautiful!!! also made banana bread and have a zoom call with my teammates for sunday breakfast tomorrow. (GOOD VIBES!!!) 
anonymous: Due to quarantine I can’t see my significant other for an indeterminate amount of time since we’re long distance and I’m an at-risk person. We’re trying to fill the distance with FaceTime calls but it’s still really hard, mostly because we’re just stuck and don’t know for how long :(
anonymous: I used to volunteer at an op shop every sunday with two of my favourite people. The customers sucked, but we played disney and had a blast and would sometimes do dinner or games after it. I miss it so much. To make up for it, we send regular pictures of our pets, do video calls on sundays and play an online pictionary type game to laugh at each other's terrible drawing skills :') 
anonymous: In Germany we are allowed to see one other person at a time. I miss meeting more than one friend. As an autistic girl, communication can be hard and it's easier when you are with three people, cause you can just let them talk and no one focuses on you the entire time. You can just listen and not talk for a bit. 
anonymous: I'm a costume designer and after a few years of assisting I finally finally got hired as the lead designer for Matilda. Which of course then got cancelled, and may be pulled from the season completly if we can't reopen by June. So I have all of these fabric samples and sketches that hurt my heart to look at but that I can't bear or risk throwing out.
@empiresprincess  I’m grieving making music, running a musical, being with young weird enthusiastic youths, and my health. Also seeing my mom or a few my more beloved friends. I’m snuggling my dog, watching my fav youtuber, rewatching comforting media, trying to take care of myself and to let others know when I really need help. Oh and Im working on not judging myself too harshly.
anonymous:  i was just finishing my second quarter at ucla when everything got shut down, and like.. it kinda sucks. i busted ass to get accepted to my dream school, pulled all nighter after all nighter at community college and finally transferred to ucla. i was JUST starting to feel like i had a place there. winter quarter was when i made some really good professor friends, started to get into the swing of things, adn that was when i realized i genuinely WANTED to go to grad school in the uk and get a phd  and one day teach. then overnight im back home struggling w online classes and it just feels like im back to square one? they haven't cut our tuition costs either, and i feel like im paying so much for a whole experience, which now is just zoom university. ;~; i know its not the end of the world, but its sad and i miss my roommates. still, i guess it could be worse. i feel bad for the seniors who are ending their ucla journey with this. also my boyfriend and i have been doing long distance for  nearly a year, and our one-year anniversary is coming up in a few days. i really thought we'd at least be able to spend that together, but he's an international student and he had to go back to india bc of covid. ;~; i miss him a lot and im terrified that the increased distance/time difference will cause us to just fizzle out. its not like we don't love each other a lot, but such limited contact (he can't ft bc his dad doesn't know about us, and so we only call like 3 times a week for 10 mins) makes it hard.. i haven't seen him in almost three months now, and it's just sad, even though i know its not either of us's fault. anywho!! this got really long; sorry about that!! in the grand scheme of things this isn't that bad though, so i'm trying to grieve the losses (and the loss of being back home, oof!) while still keeping an eye out for some of the good things to come. take care linds i hope you're safe and doing better
anonymous:  On one level I am literally grieving the loss of a family member to the virus, but on another I am grieving the loss of my usual life (I had to move back in with my parents temporarily after being on my own for 4 years) and my student (our governor just announced that schools are closed for the rest of the year and I feel like I never ever got to say good bye). I've been filling the void by writing fanfic, but even that has been hard as I have no privacy anymore. I keep getting interrupted.

Rules: Pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions. Don’t cheat. Tag some people.
Tagged by @brambleberrycottage! Thank you!!
(a note: these are not necessarily my fave shows or anything, but they are the shows that are more on my mind than others :P)
Teen Wolf
Star Wars Rebels
Stargate: SG-1
Leverage
Parks & Recreation
Who is your favorite character in 2? Kanan Jarrus. He has a fantastic character arc, he’s a wonderful mentor and space dad, and he’s probably my fave Jedi (and character) in all of Star Wars. Sorry about it, Obi Wan 
Who is your least favorite character in 1? I mean, I don’t tend to focus on least favorite characters too often. However, I do generally have a vague desire to punch Theo in the face anytime he’s onscreen.... He’s slightly better in 6B with the (incredibly rushed) redemption arc and all that, but like. Also.
What is your favorite episode of 4? Oh man, that’s a really difficult question for this show, actually. But for sheer creativity and memorability, I’d probably say “The Rashomon Job.” That was one of the ones that really stuck in my from when I first watched the show, and it ended up being just as good as I remembered.
What is your favorite season of 5? Hmmm I wanna say either S3 or S5. The harvest festival arc in 3 is great, but all the Leslie/Ben stuff in S5? Beautiful and iconic.
Who is your favorite couple in 3? I was a Jack/Sam shipper way back in the day, and that honestly hasn’t changed.
Who is your favorite couple in 2? Kanan/Hera! They’re just... !!! They care about each other! They’re supportive! They just love each other so much and I have so many feelings
What is your favorite episode of 1? “Frayed” Like !!! The entirety of 3A up to this point has been building up to the idea of Scott being/becoming an Alpha, and, like, throughout the season we see him do little Alpha things -- being a leader, pretty much everything about his relationship w/ Isaac, etc. And then!! Then!! This is the episode where he actually starts to realize it! And where he actively chooses the leadership role!
And I’m sorry, I’m not done talking about this episode yet, because I honestly just have so many feelings?? And it’s got this one moment. One moment in particular. Which may be one of my favorite moments in the entire series. Like the whole set up is really good (it’s also one of the few TW eps where anachronic order actually worked), and there’s this whole moment in the middle where Scott and Isaac have to calm Boyd down and keep him from attacking Ethan, as Boyd thinks the Alpha Pack killed Derek. And then, at the end of the episode, Isaac (who did not get upset about Derek in the same way Boyd did) learns that Scott isn’t healing from the wound he got fighting the Alphas, and he just. Absolutely freaks out and attacks Ethan.
(The show directly parallels Boyd’s reaction about Derek to Isaac’s reaction about Scott, and !!!)
BUT THEN. Then Scott comes out. And he roars.
And it’s not technically a roar, but he yells Isaac’s name and it has power behind it. And everyone (including Boyd) notices.
But Isaac!! Isaac stops! He responds as if it was a roar! And I’m!! Gonna go!! Absolutely!! Feral!!!
Ahem.
Anywho that’s my fave episode of TW, and I really love my Alpha son
What is your favorite episode of 5? Oh man, I don’t actually remember a lot of specific favorite episodes, even though I know there’s a lot of eps that I really like... I’m thinking “Flu Season”? But also that’s just one among many very good episodes.
What is your favorite season of 2? I’m gonna say S4, actually. I thought the show had a really strong ending, and I love the final arcs of all the characters.
How long have you watched 1? So I started watching in... 2012 or 2013 I think? And then watched off and on through at least part of S4. Then I started a rewatch here in the year of our Lord 2020 and uh. Here we are :P
How did you become interested in 3? This was actually one of the first fandoms that tiny!Carolyn was ever involved in! My mom discovered it back in like... 2003 or something, decided it was not inappropriate for her barely nine-year-old daughter, and from then on we were both pretty much hooked. 
Who is your favorite actor in 4? Mmm frick, do I have to pick? Probably either Christian Kane or Aldis Hodge. But also Beth Riesgraf is fantastic, too, the whole show is just so delightful. 
Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5? Okay okay okay. So. Rebels is definitely the tighter written and better show, imo, but also I’m having a ton of Teen Wolf feelings right now and I just care so much about this characters. So like, currently and tentatively, Teen Wolf? (Sorry P&R, I love you, but straight sitcoms are probably never going to be my pick, even though it is really good)
Which show have you seen more episodes of - 1 or 3? So like, this is really just a contest of how many episodes each show has, right? Since I can’t imagine picking a show for a game like this if I hadn’t seen all the eps? Anywho, seeing as Teen Wolf has 100 episodes and SG-1 has 213 episodes, I think SG-1 is the clear winner here.
If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? So like, I wanna say Amy Palavi, the waitress in their Brewpub in S5? She doesn’t have a terribly intense life or tragic backstory, but she also gets to befriend and hang out with Parker -- along with some mild involvement in shenanigans -- so that seems ideal, honestly.
(And yes, I know she gets kidnapped in that one ep, but that works out all right in the end, so I’m still down.)
Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work? Weirdly, absolutely yes. I’ve actually read a few that were pretty good.
In fact, according to Word of God, Leverage and Stargate actually take place in the same universe? Apparently there were going to be a flashback gag with Eliot going through the gate as part of one of his many past jobs, but they weren’t able to do it, due to the sets already have been dismantled.
Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple? Huh, oh man. I’m not usually much of rarepair person tbh. And like this is literally something I’m pulling out of absolutely nowhere and haven’t actually thought about before now. But maybe Sydney/Hayden? or Sydney/Lori?
Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5? Y’know, I was gonna go with Stargate with this one, but actually the big storyarcs were never my favorite part of SG-1. Whereas P&R actually had some really good and emotionally compelling arcs. So I’m actually gonna go with Parks & Rec with this one.
Which has better theme music, 2 or 4? Neither of them really have much theme music to speak of, but if we’re just talking about music, then Rebels is the clear winner here. Like seriously, props to Kevin Kiner et al., it has some seriously fantastic musical cues. Heck, the score for the finale got nominated for an emmy.
Tagging @whitecatgraycatblackcat, @experimentaldata, and @darnitjack! Also, as always, feel free to do this if you feel so inclined, and please tag me and let me know!

Wynonna Earp 3x04 No Cure For Crazy
Click here for previous recaps!
Stray thoughts
1) Did that… did that tree just fucking walk?
Tumblr media
Is the tree possessed by Dolls or something? Why is a tree helping Wynonna and Doc?
And why is Peacemaker not working?
2)
Tumblr media
3) Okay, the trees are fucking bleeding and this dude just called it “a murder tree” and what the actual fuck!
Tumblr media
4) So… the “fire” never really happened, it was just a Black Badge cover-up for the massacre. I really want to see where they go with this whole backstory they’ve given Nicole because so far? Not into it.
Nicole does make a good point of asking Waverly why she hasn’t talked to her mom yet to figure out who her parents are. She seemed quite intent on figuring it out last season, and here she has the perfect opportunity to have every answer she’s looking for, and she’s not taking it? Waverly is anything but a chicken, so I’d figured she would confront her mother head on but I guess she’s been conveniently written OOC so that the writers can keep this mystery going for a while. I hope they don’t stretch this for too long, though.
5) Why did Nicole randomly and carelessly throw the ring in the middle of the forest? Huh? That’s also kind of OOC? Wasn’t she talking about disposing of it carefully two minutes ago?
6) MORE OF THIS, PLEASE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
7) And more of this.
Tumblr media
8) Okay, so Waverly IS going to see her mother, she just didn’t disclose that bit of information to Nicole, why? She just made this big speech about not keeping secrets from each other… or is it that she wasn’t planning on seeing her mom until Wynonna brought it up and basically set it all up for her?
And suuuure, Mama is doin’ just fine!
Tumblr media
9) So, Wynonna couldn’t shoot Peacemaker because she ran out of bullets, which is a more logical explanation than what I was expecting. I don’t know why but I just assumed Peacemaker had magical ammo and it didn’t require reloading? Anywho, look at these two idiots flirting with each other and basically dry-humping…
Tumblr media
10) SHIT. That was a low blow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But how fucking adorable is it that he’d taken the time to buy - or build! - baby Alice a crib? My heart!
11) Why was their mother so intent on Waverly never finding out where she was or seeing her? And what’s going to happen when Waverly does…? There must be a reason. It seems she was trying to protect them.
12) Why are they giving me so much Doc/Wynonna in this episode? What’s going to happen? (Listen, I’ve grown up watching Joss Whedon shows, I’m conditioned to believe that happiness is followed by utter and complete destruction and mysery!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
13)
NICOLE: Can we talk? It’s about Nedley.
WYNONNA: Not again. How many more plungers do we need?
 14) Wait, did I forget that Jeremy was gay or they haven’t mentioned it before? Because I’m all for it, and especially about the way it was casually brought up in conversation because it’s not Jeremy’s single defining characteristic. 
15) I guess the mother-daughter reunion is happening sooner than expected, since Waverly was contacted as her last known emergency contact.
16) Jeremy is totally vibing with this Robin dude who found the murder tree and they’re making silly tree puns and it’s gay heaven, I love it.
17) Well, that couldn’t have gone any worse…
Tumblr media
And yet, I can’t help but feel she means something else? I still feel she’s trying to protect Waverly.
Something happened when Waverly touched her, too, and then she kept saying “she’s unbound, she’s loose, kill the demon.” Waverly of course assumes her mom is referring to her as “the demon”, but I have a feeling she’s talking about an actual demon.
18) I really felt for Nedley when he admitted he’s tired of covering the supernatural shit up. Man, I hated him on the first episode of the show and now I’ve really grown to like him? And Wynonna suggested he should step aside and let Nicole take charge, and he’s actually considering it, and I’m here for Sheriff Haught.
19) Listen, I’m not usually into Gay, meet Gay, now get together because you’re the only two Gays so therefore you must be attracted to each other and date, but… I’m really liking the Jeremy/Robin interactions so far? They’re really cute!
20) And now they’re two gays who have zero idea about the woods lost in the forest and they found the stairway to heaven…
Tumblr media
21) Mama Gibson is not messing around.
Tumblr media
22) Ah, great, the idiots who let a dangerous convict escape have now locked Wynonna up. Marvelous.
23) Damn, Waverly keeps thinking her mother wants to kill her and that she called her a demon, but I just fucking know she’s talking about a literal demon that’s probably threatening Waverly’s life, that’s why she’s kept away from her.
24) Wait, what?
NEDLEY: Michelle didn’t go to prison because she burned down the barn. She went because her youngest daughter was in it.
Her youngest is Waverly? So did she try to set Waverly on fire? I have a hunch she’s possessed.
25) Oh, dang, Doc is hearing a baby’s cry in the woods. Of course, this is a trigger for him, he’s thinking of Alice, and he’s being lured into the woods.
26) Major Spike vibes in this scene…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
27) Hm. Bulshar just tried to strike up a deal with Doc – he’ll give Doc reprieve from the knowledge of his miserable destiny if Doc does his bidding. And Doc was really contemplating accepting. Don’t be weak, Doc. Come on. There has to be a way.
28) So, this fucking corrupt guard suggests they should just off Wynonna and write it off as if Michelle murdered her own daughter when she was trying to escape. And of course, he’s a fucking revenant. It’s definitely going to be interesting to see how Wynonna gets out of this one while handcuffed and without Peacemaker…
I mean, she was fucking tasered and yet…
Tumblr media
QUEEN.
29) Nedley, my heart. He’s so heartbroken over this.
NEDLEY: Well, I got a call to a situation at the Earp farm. By the time I got there, the barn was lit up like a torch. You... somehow you escaped. I mean, you were covered with soot, you were crying, but you were unharmed. WAVERLY: And my mother? NEDLEY: She was... locked in your daddy's patrol car. She set the fire. But she was no murderous sociopath. She was Michelle Gibson. Rodeo spitfire. The wild heart and loyal soul of Purgatory. Even the thugs and the dimwits drank to her. With her. They loved her. Look, she wasn't herself that night. She kept... she kept insisting that... that she was trying to vanquish a demon. WAVERLY: A demon she thought was... me. NEDLEY: Well, that would explain The occult nonsense that Ward saw plastered all over the barn before she lit the match. Did you believe it? That was Ward's interpretation. Look, your pop was my boss, so... And I know... I know I should've been braver. I should've defended her. But... I booked Michelle like I was told to. God, this just keeps getting worse. I've been trying to make up for it ever since. I kept watch over you. I tried to set Wynonna on the straight and narrow. That didn't work out. And when I became Sheriff, I pulled the report. I didn't want anyone seeing it.
30) Why would Wynonna let the revenant in on the fact that she got a kid? I mean, wasn’t the whole point of sending Alice away to protect her from the likes of him? I get that she used that bit of information to distract him, and yeah, she did this later…
Tumblr media
…but maybe don’t go talking about your child out loud around the enemies?
31) Why is he coughing dirt? Is he going to get gay-buried before he can be allowed to actually gay?
Tumblr media
32) Now Waverly is listening to her mom’s tapes with a psychiatrist or therapist or something, and yep, I’m still convinced she was possessed or something and the reason she was trying to stay away from Waverly is because she wanted to protect her. As she was talking to the therapist, she said “Shut up!” or something like that and she was clearly talking to someone else who was not there, like someone who might be in her own head or that only she can see. Someone or something that might be using her to kill her own daughter. The question is, who and why? Is it Bulshar manipulating her the same way he tried to manipulate Doc? Or is it something else altogether? And why is this something or someone so intent on killing Waves? What is she? What kind of role is she supposed to play in the grand scheme of things for this evil entity to want her dead so badly?
33) Okay, theory confirmed, Doc just heard a third, infernal voice on the tape.
34) Oh shit, is history going to repeat itself?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yep, there was an actual demon in serious need of a facial and makeover.
35) Bye bye Robin, I guess?
Tumblr media
36) Who the fuck is Jolene and why is everyone acting like Stepford Wives? Is this some sort of Ted/Dawn scenario?! And why is it that, in a supernatural show, this is by far the creepiest thing I’ve seen?! 
Tumblr media
37) So, I’ve got a lot of questions. First of all, I want to know more about the murder trees. How do they come to be? Are they inhabited by serial killers? We saw the face in one of them, and they can actually walk and move around, but why do they bleed? Is it like their victim’s blood? Also, who the fuck is Jolene? I mean, I know she’s probably the demon that showed up in the barn, but what’s her deal? What does she want? I mean, she didn’t kill Waverly, and instead she’s feeding and glamouring the whole group… to do what? Where was Robin taken? Can we please not do the whole bury-your-gays trope? I expect better of this show. Will Doc accept Bulshar’s deal? Please don’t, Doc. And what is Waverly?! That’s the biggest question of all, so I’m guessing the answer will be delayed till the season finale.
That was yet another fun, exciting Wynonna Earp episode, setting up a lot of stuff for the season, I guess. And I want answers!
38) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi. Thanks!

Tag Meme!
okay, so this is the second try since i deleted the first attempt of doing this tag. after i cried a bit for being so stupid, i’ll decided to write not so much again which is good for yall i guess!
@add-a-teaspoon-of-heroism​ tagged me for this and I’m so sorry it took me so long, love! But it always makes my day when you tag me somewhere :)
rules: name 10 of your favorite characters from 10 different fandoms.
1. Roronoa Zoro from One Piece
Tumblr media
I’ve been in love with him since i was 11 or something, so it’s been like... 10 years and counting which is crazy. One Piece in general holds a special place in my heart, but god, this man ruined so many other fictional characters. He’s loyal and a dork and strong and i just love him, okay? okay.
2. Kaminari Denki from My Hero Academia
Tumblr media
at the end of this, you will see that i have a preference for characters who can make me laugh. and some other things, but we’ll come to that later.
tbh, when i first start watching bnha, i liked shoto the most, then bakugou (it’s always the emotional unavailable ones, innit?). Now, i also adore kiri and aizawa and dabi, but denki is just... denki. the only character that can compete with him is shinso.
3. Kakashi Hatake from Naruto
Tumblr media
Sad backstory, smart, wears a mask which makes him hot like instantly. oh, and emotional constipated, so i just had to fall for this guy.
4. Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Tumblr media
i never knew that i have a uniform kink like men in uniform a lot, but he proofed me otherwise. that man just radiates power when he snaps his fingers and i like men who are strong. and his relationship with Riza? love it. they are easily one of my OTPs.
5. Yato from Noragami
Tumblr media
a dork, again. also a man who can handle a sword/blade. you see where i’m going with this? anywho,, i am so happy that the mangaka continued to draw the manga, which is haven’t read yet (i blame bnha for that), bc i can’t. fucking. wait. for. season. 3.
6. Senku from Dr. Stone
Tumblr media
to be fair, i only recently started watching this anime, so my favorite character might change, but so far it’s him! he’s so smart it’s not fair. but lemme tell y’all, the first time i understood what he was talking about, i was so proud. like me, understanding chemistry??? what a time to be alive lmao
7. Violet from Violet Evergarden
Tumblr media
oh god, this anime played with my feelings so hard, it’s not even funny. the story is sad and it’s so beautifully animated i wanted to cry sometimes. and even tho i lowkey find the relationship between Violet and that dude (you know which one if you’ve seen it, but i forgot his name, pls forgive me) slightly problematic, i still wanna hug her and tell her how proud i am of her.
8. Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan
Tumblr media
okay, so i might be cheating a bit when i say his name since i’m not really into aot anymore, but i still do read the manga and i will watch season 4, bc i wanna know what happens to him. he also took up most of my free time last year, so it’s only fair if i name him.
and see? emotionally constipated and good with a sword/blade again.
9. Baymax from Big Hero Six
Tumblr media
ngl, i cried the first time watching this movie lmao
he is basically a marshmallo on legs who takes care of other people. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THAT??
but fr, this is my comfort movie. if I’m having a rough time and want to just feel better, i watch this movie and laugh and maybe cry, depends on how bad i am. and now i am thinking about how much i love it.
brb, need to cuddle my baymax plushie.
10. Tony Stark from Iron Man
Tumblr media
i won’t say much. just know that i love him a fucking lot and that i will never, never, NEVER accept the end of endgame. they did him so dirty in so many ways and just thinking about it makes me angry. Tony, you truly deserved better.
____
aight, so i think it’s done! in my first try, i actually wrote a lot more, but i think i did okay in this one :)
doing this tag, it also made me realize that all of my favorite characters are men which tbh does not surprise me as i find a lot of female characters horribly portraited, but that’s for another time.
and i think i am supposed to tag 10 people now, right? so, I’m gonna tag @lostfoxgirl​ and @pixxiesdust​ (i’m so sorry if you did this already hun or don’t want to do it), but idk anyone else on tumblr :( so if you’re reading this and want to do the tag, pls do!

I saw someone else do one of these about a week ago, and it’s been on my mind to do one as well. It’s a very sweet gesture and I want to let all my mutuals know that not only do I see them and care about them, but I also really appreciate y’all as well! So without further ado, here’s my shoutout to each and every one of you! ->
@lovesickmark​ -> I’m pretty sure you’re like, the first person I really connected with on here? If not THE first then definitely one of the first. I know you’ve been going through a lot and I respect that; I’m cheering for you from the sidelines tho, just remember that! It’s been wonderful having you around so I hope you’re doing well and that you keep moving forward. <3
@jisungx2​ -> JOSIIIIIIIE >A< My INFP sister. I’m sure things have been kind of annoying and rough for you too, what with the holidays here and having to work Black Friday and most the rest of the season (holy cow I salute you and I’m really glad you didn’t die. Ily man.) It makes me so happy when you leave cute asks in my box like “hope you have a great day!” or “[enter cute chain mail here]”. You’re just very cute 😞😞 and I really wish you all the best this holiday season! I hope you’re taking care of yourself and remembering to take breaks when you need it. Remember the storage room excuse. Ily bro man.
@iiasha​ -> We haven’t been talking for very long but like, omgosh I love talking to you oops. 😂😅 Idk sis, I guess because most of my mutuals are a bit younger than me it’s nice to have someone who’s the same age I can relate to? And also someone to guide me through the confusing but quite entertaining world of the Seventeen fandom 💍 (I’m on my laptop and I couldn’t find the giant diamond emoji don’t @ me). ALSO! YOUR WRITING!! IS SO GOOD!!! Ugh I STILL gotta get to that Jimin alt. ending 😫😓 But I’ve been very invested in working and my language studies as of late while procrastinating on my other works rip.

You’re really talented and I’m totally jelly of your piano skills 🥺🥺 Like dang I wish I could play half as good sis. Also, I’d really like to visit Germany one day! My dad’s best friend lives there, they met while he was travelling Europe in the army. He said we may go there one day and if we do, or if I just have to make my own adventure, I’d love to meet at a coffee shop and say hello. <3 Please continue taking care of yourself and come talk to me sometime! If you don’t, I will!! Lol 💕

@thevampywarlock​ -> Give me a minute.........okay. *deep breath* AAAAH I THINK YOU’RE REALLY CUTE!?!?! ...Aaaaaanyway uwu” The stories you write are so cute and just, small wholesome things that you manage to extend and expand upon?

You got this, whatever it may be!!

Ash’s Pokemon: XY
Here we are~ The first season of Kalos!~ It's hard to believe that this gen is already 6 years old now. Even harder to believe it's twice as old as when I first started these. So now that all the hype has died down is the XY anime as good as we thought!~ Well, yes and no? It still has all those episodes you've seen a bunch like the haunted house episode or the "Ash loses to a trainer and learns he actually needs to train his Pokemon" episode, some of which (like that 2nd one) can be really annoying. But on the flip side, the art style is much more pleasing, the characters are more well written, And the battle choreography,
ho boy the battle choreography!
The poses and angles used as well as the pacing and flow of the battles just, destroy anything that had been in the show up to this point. If I were to pick the season's biggest flaw so far, I'd say it's, and this will shock everyone, the gym battles. I'm not joking, every single one of these first 3 gyms has one major flaw in it. The first Viola fight that he lost, was terrible, like, I would have expected to see that in Best Wishes terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a lot of people's last episode before they quit watching the XY anime. I know first gym leaders aren't as weak in the anime as in the games, but when her 2 Pokemon are Water and Flying type, you need a much better reason for Pikachu to lose than "The floor was icy and slippery" when Pikachu has fought on Ice battle fields before and in this battle
did not once slip on the ice!
The Grant battle had a lesser case of the Virbank Gym's problem from last gen, having Ash use 3 Pokemon to beat Grant's 2. And lastly the Korrina fight, where Ash spends a solid 5 minutes of the episode bumbling around trying to get Tierno's strategy to work for him before eventually giving up. That isn't to say the gym battles were bad (except for the unsuccessful attempt for Viola) but those were some far heavier flaws than I was ready for. The Grant fight despite being uneven is more being mean to Fletchling than anything else, since that, well, went about as well as you'd expect with a flying type in a Rock gym, making it mostly 2v2 anyways, and the weird Tierno strategy in the Korrina fight is just an awkward intro to an otherwise amazing fight. Altho the negatives of the failed Viola fight outweigh the positives of the successful attempt, as I can't even remember the latter over the former X3 But other than that it was just as good as I remembered. The better character writing makes the retreaded storylines more interesting and enjoyable. Also, I know a lot of people have an opinion of "The SM anime is Best Wishes 2, and Ash's skill as a trainer isn't that great like in Unova" let's compare the first 3 gyms in Kalos to the first 3 Kahuna battles in Alola:
Loses embarrassingly to Viola
VS
Beats Hala without any of his Pokemon fainting
Needs 3 Pokemon to beat Grant's 2
VS
Only has one of his pokemon faint vs Olivia because his other KOd it
Spends 5 minutes embarrassing himself at the start vs Korrina
VS
Loses to Nanu due to previously established flaws Lycanroc has, but comes back and sweeps him 3v1 on the rematch
So yeah, but anywho, the win rates!~
Pokemon              Fights                    Wins             Losses                      %
Pikachu                    37                        34                    3                        92%
Froakie                    18                        14                    4                        78%
Fletchlinder              10                        5                      5                        50%
Hawlucha                 6                         4                      2                         67%
Successful Clemontic Gear: 6
Megas                 Wins Pikachu:       1  
So first, you may be asking, especially if you've never watched the XY anime, the hells a Clemontic Gear? And to that I say there's a running gag in the anime where Clemont would always have all kinds of inventions he shows off that inevitably blow up in the end. Pretty much the replacement for the Brock hitting on girls gag, except with far more variety, and frequently actually helps the gang with their troubles. And this counter is how many of his inventions DON'T blow up!~ I haven't had one of these silly side counters since, I think Hoenn? And I thought this would be a fun thing to do~ Pikachu claims one of the first Mega wins, which I believe is the last til the XY&Z season, where we get a ton of em. Pikachu also sets a new record, most battles in a regular length season. Less than the first season, but the first season was an incredibly long 83 episodes long. This season is 49 episodes long, you could literally add the entirety of the Sinnoh League Victors season to this one and that would make it match the first season's episode count. (If you add Pikachu's battles for that season to this season that makes 50, compared to Indigo League's 48, even further proving my point!). To the surprise of no one, Froakie enters the fray with a win rate of 78%, making him Ash's Pokemon with the 5th highest win rate. This could go down but it's a good sign of things to come! Fletchling got hardcore bullied until it evolved. The episode before it evolved he had 4 battles 1 win for a 20% win rate. Thankfully, in the episode he evolved he won a double battle and the battle that made him evolve, bringing him to 4/8, and he kept that 50% til the end. Nothing spectacular to say about Hawlucha tho, other than the fact that I think he's the only pokmon Ash caught that didn't get a loss from his battle to be caught (of the pokemon that actually battled) since he and Froakie actually tied. Join me next time for
the best gym battle ever!!!
(Hint: It's vs Clemont ;3c )

Snowman (Loki X reader)
youtube
Loki x reader (18+) 
warnings: Smut,Smut,Smut, thigh riding, Loki is kinky
hey guys, this is a new Loki oneshot please show it some love. you can also find it here: https://www.wattpad.com/user/SamHartwell and https://www.quotev.com/samhartwell my fics and stories get post there first so if you want to read the new chapter first then I suggest following me there as well!!! anywho enjoy!
Loki had a flair for the dramatic so when his current girlfriend of a year told him that she'd be performing at Jazz at Lincoln Center he had to make an appearance. She had recently dropped a Christmas album and it had been widely received by Jazz critics all over the country and it was only natural that she had scored a gig at one of the most prestigious performance centers in NYC. 
He watched the snow fall outside as they were only a few weeks out from Christmas. A black coffee from Starbucks was the only thing keeping his hands warm from the frigid cold. The lights strung up in the trees really made everything picturesque and perfect and the way the snow clings to the trees created intricate works of art. 
(Y/N) had made close friends with Thor and the rest of the avengers. Loki couldn't help but brag about her to every single one of them and the fact that they were all here tonight to see her made him glow with pride. Although (Y/N) offered free seats, Tony bought the tickets for everyone anyways. 
"I'm so excited to see (Y/N) perform tonight! Her album has so many bops." Natasha said as she took off her coat and scarf.
" My Brother here sure knows how to pick the best maidens." Thor laughed as he slapped his brother on the back. 
Loki chuckled softly before shrugging. " I guess so" 
Thor pulled him aside from the group under the guise of going to coat check to grab something he forgot in his jacket. 
" Oh come on, that's all you can say? You're quieter than usual tonight brother. All you do is talk about her. What's going on?" Thor asked 
" I don't have to tell you anything." 
" Loki stop, is something happening between you and Lady (Y/N)?" 
  He sighed and pulled a small box out of his pocket. 
"Oh Odin, You're going to ask her to marry you? Why didn't you say something! That is great news!" He yelled in excitement.
" You oaf be quiet. Yes. But lately we haven't been seeing each other that often because she's off either in the studio or doing press shoots and I feel like I'm... not good enough for her."
" She loves you Loki, you can see it in her eyes every time she looks at you. You two are made for each other. Just ask (y/n) and everything will be-"
"Just ask me what?" She asked from behind both of them. 
Both whipped around to find (y/n) standing there in a gorgeous floor length dress that sparkled green. It complemented her body perfectly and she had a dark red makeup look to pull everything together. 
" Are you both gonna stand there with your mouths open or are you gonna say anything." She laughed.
That laugh. The one that rang like church bells in his ears and sounded like the purest thing in the world.
"You're absolutely stunning my queen." Loki said before going up to her and planting a prolonged kiss on her red tinted lips. Her hands tangled in his tie before she pulled away from him.
" Mmm Loki, you're really trying it tonight." She said giggling with a smirk on her face. " I had to see you before the show even if I'm breaking a few rules." "Well I am truly honored." 
"(Y/N)! What are you doing out here! Come backstage we have to make sure your mic is leveled." Her manager barreled out of the stage door. " And who is this? You know you're not supposed to talk to the public unless it's coordinated. We can't have a press scandal." 
" Josh this is Loki my boyfriend." 
"Oh the boyfriend. Well Loki, nice to meet you. (Y/N) we have to go backstage and make sure everything is going according to plan. Maybe have a drink before we start." 
"Ahh yeah. Sure. Sorry baby I'll see you after the show." She said before planting a kiss on his cheek and leaving.
Time skip
"Alright I have one song left for you and it's not on the regular album so you all haven't heard it yet. It will be on the deluxe re-release so hang tight. This song was actually the first one I wrote but I scraped it because it went through so many rewrites. It was originally called reindeer but it was just the worst thing I think I've written..." 
She had the crowd laughing and wrapped around her finger. Loki smiled at her but she didn't seem to acknowledge him once. He wanted to be apart of this and be there for her. 
"This one is called Snowman." 
The band started up into a smooth jazz/pop tune.
"Don't cry snowman, not in front of me Who will catch your tears if you can't catch me, darlin'? If you can't catch me, darlin'? Don't cry, snowman, don't leave me this way A puddle of water can't hold me close, baby Can't hold me close, baby I want you to know that I'm never leaving Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'till death we'll be freezing Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons So come on let's go Let's go below zero and hide from the sun I'll love you forever where we'll have some fun Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily Please don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas baby My snowman and me My snowman and me Baby Don't cry, snowman, don't you fear the sun Who'll carry me without legs to run, honey? Without legs to run, honey? Don't cry, snowman, don't you shed a tear Who'll hear my secrets if you don't have ears, baby? If you don't have ears, baby? I want you to know that I'm never leaving 'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'till death we'll be freezing Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons So come on let's go Let's go below zero and hide from the sun I'll love you forever where we'll have some fun Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily Please don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas baby My snowman and me My snowman and me Baby"
(Y/N) smiled softly at Loki as she finished the song and wished the crowd a good night.
All he could think about was the way she sang every phrase and the passion that came out of her voice. The way she pressed up against the mic stand and sang closely and intimately with the mic. The way her eyes closed and nose scrunched up as her voice soared.
She came out pretty quickly after the show was over and ran straight to Loki capturing him a large hug.
" I thought you had some press interviews to do after the show?" 
"I canceled those, I missed you." She said whispering the last part suggesting at something else.
" I missed you too my dove," he fiddled with the ring in his pocket " um (y/n) you know I love you and-" 
"Yes."
"What?"
"I said yes. I will marry you Loki." 
"How did you know?" 
"I found the ring a few weeks ago I was just waiting for you to ask me." 
"Bloody Brilliant. You never cease to amaze me." He said before leaning in. 
"Now let's get out of here before I take you in a broom closet."
(Y/N) blushed fiercely before retaliating " Actually I might like that." Now it was Loki's turn to flush before ushering her out of the concert hall.
As soon as the door closed behind them their hands were all over each other's bodies and somehow in the process (Y/N) had been pinned up against the wall. She called out his name as if it was the only word in her vocabulary begging for him to continue.
The kiss was sloppy and needy but passionate and loving. His hands ran from her thighs up to her hips where his Icy fingertips latched on, seemingly holding on as if his life depended on it. He loved the feeling of her skin, smooth and soft to hold. Her hands tangled in his hair lightly tugging at it while slowing grinding into him knowing it drove Loki absolutely mad. Breaking the kiss he pressed his nose against her neck breathing heavily, ghosting his lips over the delicate skin there.
" If you keep doing that you'll have to pay for it." 
"Then make me pay."
He growled in response before hoisting her up wrapping her legs around his waist and carrying her into the bedroom as if it were nothing. She landed on the bed with a thud and Loki came not to long after giving her no time to Recuperate.
"What am I gonna do with you? For the past 3 months I've barely seen you and tonight you're practically begging for me." 
"Loki I'm yours."
He wouldn't admit it but that phrase gave him shivers and made his cock harder than it's ever been.
" you are mine. Not that managers, not The presses. Mine. And only mine."
"Only yours, my king."
His mouth crashed into hers with a fury she hadn't seen since the day they first had sex. She melted into him flinging her arms around his neck before sliding her tongue across his bottom lip. He pulled away causing her to whine.
" I'm in control tonight, you don't get to call the shots."
His lips then attacked her neck knowing exactly where to kiss, suck, bite and lick to have her squirming. Her dress has slid off in the process of getting her to the bedroom and was discarded somewhere in the hallway. The collarbone was always the way to get her submissive and boy she just fell into a pool of whimpers as he got to it. With a smooth unclasping the bra was gone. (Y/N) shivered at the sudden cold air and moved to press up against Loki as a heat source. But sooner or later his shirt came off and her hand ran over his fit upper body. He was perfectly lean in all the right places and muscular in all the others.
In one swift movement he put her on top as he sat with his back against the headboard. (Y/N) fit perfectly straddled in his lap.
" I want you to get yourself off on my thigh." He said starkly causing her to blush a deep red. " It seems like the only fitting punishment and after I'm going to fuck you so hard you won't even think about anyone else."
(Y/N) just nodded and made quick work of her panties and straddling over his thigh. The moment she started rocking her hips was the moment of no return. Embarrassed of how turned on she was getting the friction between his pants and her womanhood was heavenly. He watched her as she became unraveled above him. They way she threw her head back in pleasure and the soft moans and whimpers kept him hard. She suddenly felt pressure build in her lower abdomen and she knew her release was coming.
"Loki, I'm gonna..." she whines as her pace quickened. 
"You're gonna what doll? Say it."
" I'm gonna cum." She said basically screaming with pleasure.
Her toes curl and her body jerked and right before she could reach her high Loki flipped them back over.
"You thought you were going to cum before I let you? No, no. You'll cum when I tell you." He said before removing his pants and boxers.
" I want to hear your cries," he snarls, breath shallow, " I want to hear every ravished whisper."
She felt his thickness against her thigh and she bit her lip in excitement. He rubs his length between your thighs and along your very wet slit before pressing at her entrance. (Y/N) let out a surprised moan as she felt him stretching her open. Loki grips onto her hips, easing himself inside as she moans longingly, burying her face into his chest.
"Please," was all she could muster as he squeezed around him.
"My pleasure," he pulls out slowly and then pushes back in hard.
She yelps loudly, gripping onto the sheets with white knuckles. He does it again picking up speed, rattling her and the bed. His grunts turn into pants and heaving breathes. Her eyes have rolled into the back of her head as she cries out enraptured whispering his name when she's not screaming it. Her eyes flutter close as she grasps onto anything that seems like a good anchoring point.
"Open your eyes (Y/N)" he demanded before one hand grabbed your chin and turned her head back toward him.
She met his eyes watching his expression as he drove into her, making her body spasm and shake as the lightning started to return. Writhing beneath him, he came down on (Y/N), kissing her heatedly as her fingers claws mercilessly at his back. She felt him twitch and shudder inside her and they were both approaching their climactic high.
"Cum for me." And that was all (Y/N) needed to let go. Screaming in pleasure, he moans into her neck, his head dipping and nuzzling between her breasts as he released inside her.
(Y/N) whimpered, holding onto the back of his head and neck.
"I missed you." She finally said again repeating what was said earlier.

The Handmaid's Tale 3x10 Thoughts
A few days late, but here it is:
So objectively, despite the shit storm that has been happening this season, this was the kind of THT episode we’ve been thirsting for all season. I’d even argue last week’s plus this week’s finally worked its way back up to the series I first fell in love with.
(Although the huge lack of forward movement this season probably diluted this episode’s impact.)
Anywho:
1. June/ The Lawrences
The relationship between these three really shined this episode. The Ceremony scene in the bedroom was really touching and heartbreaking. June powering through that and guiding Lawrence through it was exceptional acting. Although part of me is bothered that we’re going back to June getting raped. I really did think that whole ordeal would have been left back in season 2.
Joseph and Eleanor’s relationship is something super precious. And it’s an element I’ve enjoyed this entire season. Eleanor knows what’s up with her husband and decided to stay in Gilead in order to be with him. Joseph’s realization that he needed to get Eleanor out after all this was really moving too. Up until that point he was a stubborn fuck who thought he knew best for his wife. And even though he was acting out of love and concern for her, he never really considered a better life for her without him being there.
Also June’s comment to Fred that the Lawrences treat her with respect, I thought, was honest and quite bold of her to say. Because she implied exactly what Fred was suspecting.
2. The Waterfords and Winslow
I have to begrudgingly accept that Fred and now Winslow’s roles as commanders in Gilead will never be fully explained to the audience. For a while there I assumed Lawrence was one of the higher ups and relatively untouchable. But now Fred is implementing these new rules for the homes and is able to supervise ceremonies? And Winslow is along for the ride? 
Also Fred being creepy as fuck and just trying to mess with June is getting to be a bit much. Unless it’s leading up to something, he’s just been wasting time now trying to get June’s attention in whatever bizarre and twisted way he can think of. 
Serena this episode was alright imo. She clearly was not comfortable with what was going on. And her concern for June and Eleanor seemed sincere. I’m still skeptical about her role in all of this. Like, she is the absolute worst, but it’s not like she’s happy with where she’s at right now. Her marriage is still super fragile and she’s still mourning the baby. I don’t want to believe she’s gonna change (again) because I know she only works on the right side when it suits her needs, but I did sense some sort of shift this ep. So I’ll keep an open mind.
3. June’s save-the-children crusade
I really loved the little snippets of info revealed while she was reading though the files of the Handmaids. And the muffins from the Marthas at the end was great too. 
Now, I know June is our protagonist and its her story we follow, but is she really the only one who--after like 5 years of Gilead--has hatched a plan to save children? Like, yes, all the Marthas have said yes and are agreeing to this plan. But who is June to them? How are they falling behind her? We haven’t seen her lead or make any real strides in working with the resistance. Idk, it just seemed a little farfetched/ not fully executed.
Other Thoughts:
- Give me more Alma backstory dammit
- June telling Janine her son was happy and alive in California broke me a little. I was debating whether or not it was the right thing to do. But I can concede it was the most humane choice. Poor Janine
- Did anyone else notice the lack of continuity in how the Lawrence household calls June? In 3x07 Eleanor calls her June. Beth has also to my knowledge called her June. But both of them refer to her as OfJoseph in this episode and idk why I found it odd. 
- Serena brought out the phone! I hope this means we’re finally getting more Canada time. And that Tuello fellow really intrigues me.
- I miss Nick where tf is he (sob)
