#buddie being girl dads is something that can be so personal actually

[capseycartwright]

i have no excuse for this other than the fact @clusterbuck and @hattalove were talking about big family buddie (correct) yesterday and this wee drabble popped into my head. so. enjoy.

“Hey, Miss Girl – what’s all this noise about, huh?”

Eddie couldn’t help but smile as he watched Buck tend to their fussing daughter, their eight-week-old leaving them under no illusions regarding the health of their lungs. Eddie was – well, he was tired. Delightfully, happily, down to his bones tired.

He knew – of course he knew – that the newborn stage was a lot of sleepless nights, and passing Violet between them as they did laps of their house in an attempt to get her to sleep, and he knew that newborn babies had zero respect for their parents need for a solid six hours (at least) of uninterrupted sleep, but he hadn’t expected the way tiredness had settled into his bones like a permanent state of being – he was a firefighter after all, he should be used to weird hours.

Then again, he’d never done the newborn stage. Eddie was trying – really, sincerely – not to beat himself up about a past he couldn’t change, but he couldn’t help but regret that he had missed this stage with Christopher: tiny screaming lungs, baby sick, tiredness, and all.

Shaking off the thought, Eddie watched as his husband cooed at their daughter.

“Ma’am, I can’t change your smelly diaper if you keep kicking me,” Buck said, fixing Violet with an endearingly serious look, Violet looking back at him with a face full of threatening tears and screams. “Yeah, I know – life is rough, you should be able to kick your father whenever you want. I didn’t want to have to give you a reality check at eight weeks old, but it’s a tough world out there, Violet.”

One thing they’d discovered in the eight weeks that Violet had been alive was how soothing she found Buck’s voice, how, often, a rambling stream of consciousness from Buck was the only thing that settled her. Buck had been absolutely triumphant about the discovery, gleeful as he explained to Chimney that his inability to stop talking actually had healing qualities.

The medical soundness of that was questionable, Eddie knew: but he’d always thought the same. The rumble of Buck’s chest as he talked had talked Eddie down from more than one panic attack in the years, they’d been together – he was on Violet’s side here.

“There we are,” Buck cooed. “A clean diaper. Isn’t that better, hm?”

Violet squawked in response, her little legs going a mile a minute, Buck laughing as he battled to get her onesie back on. She was full of energy, their Violet – Eddie had known from the moment he first held his daughter that she had gotten 110% of Buck’s energy. She had his bright blue eyes, too, and Eddie knew, they could still change, but secretly he hoped they never would – something about having a miniature Evan Buckley walking around in the world brought Eddie a kind of joy he couldn’t explain.

“Oh, honey,” Buck sounded genuinely sad as he spoke. “I got you a bottle, changed your diaper – I don’t know what else could be wrong,” he cooed, careful as he scooped Violet up and out of her changing table, cradling her in the crook of his elbow.

Eddie had long since believed his husband was the most attractive man on the planet – but now, drinking in Buck’s appearance as he stood in the colourful explosion of purples that painted the walls of Violet’s nursery, his husband wearing a two day old t-shirt covered in milk, and baby sick, his hair practically standing on end – a direct result of a night of tossing and turning, taking turns to check on baby V – Eddie wasn’t sure he’d ever seen a more attractive sight in his life.

“Maybe she just wants a cuddle from her dad,” Eddie hummed, his voice croaky as he finally spoke, drawing Buck’s attention.

Buck smiled, Eddie’s own tiredness reflected in Buck’s face – but the happiness was clear, too. Eddie had known, from the moment he met Buck, that Evan Buckley was one of those people who was just born to nurture, whatever the opportunity to do that was. Selfishly, Eddie was really damn glad he was the one who got to make Buck a father twice over (so far, anyway – because a house teeming with love, and laughter, and hideous coloured plastic toys sounded like a dream Eddie hadn’t realised he’d had before.)

Carefully, Buck shifted Violet so she was curled into the crook of his neck, their tiny baby looking even more tiny nestled against Buck’s broad chest. “You reckon?”

Eddie nodded, padding across the soft carpet of Violet’s nursey, folding himself against Buck’s side without asking for permission. If Eddie could ignore the baby sick smell, Buck could deal with a clingy Eddie for a few minutes. Softly, gently, Eddie brushed a finger against Violet’s cheek. “I know I’ve said this every day for the last eight weeks,” he began, keeping his voice quiet. “But I can’t believe she’s real.”

Buck smiled, kissing the top of Violet’s head, and Eddie’s, in turn. “We’ve done alright for ourselves, haven’t we?” he hummed. “Me, you, Christopher – Violet. The dogs.”

“And the fish, and the stray cat you keep telling me you don’t feed,” Eddie continued the list. “And the revolving door of Christopher’s friends neither of us can say no to, and our nieces and nephews.”

“And the alpaca,” Buck grinned.

Eddie rolled his eyes. “I still can’t believe you adopted an alpaca for Christopher,” he sighed. “The only reason I didn’t divorce you is the fact the alpaca has to stay living on a farm.”

Buck couldn’t hold in a laugh, wincing as a sleepy Violet fussed, for a second, before settling again. “You also love me,” he reminded. “That’s surely a second reason.”

“Third,” Eddie mumbled, pressing his face to Buck’s chest. “I want more babies. That’s the second.”

Eddie could practically hear Buck’s smile. “Let’s get this one old enough for pre-school first,” Buck suggested. “Then you can have all the babies you want, Eddie.”

They were quiet, for a second, before Eddie spoke.

“We did good,” Eddie reassured, wrapping an arm around his husband’s waist. Their teenager was – thankfully – soundly sleeping, and Violet was 90% of the way to sleep, and for a moment, he just wanted to drink the bliss of his life in: the kids, the dogs, the house he shared with the man he loved. “We did really good, Buck.”

reluctant cupid | lando norris social media au

pairing: lando norris x fem bff!reader

you could set your bestie up with a driver or you could confess your feelings? lando norris is dumb.

based on this request: Could you write something about being best friends with lando and he tries to help set you up with another driver you have a crush on, but then he realises he actually likes you so he has to sabotage all the wingmanning he’s done and you end up together Idk if that makes sense 😭🫶🏼🫶🏼 -@mbappesleftthigh

user27: UNLESS! this is all part of the plan? what if lando set her up with a messy guy like carlos so he can be the shoulder to cry on and that's how he slides in?

Big Time Crush

Pairing: James Diamond x Insecure!Plus size!reader Characters: Insecure!Plus size!reader, Katie Knight, Jennifer “Mama” Knight, James Diamond, Kendall Knight, Carlos Garcia, Hortense “Logan” Mitchell

Briefly mentioned: Camille Roberts, Gustavo Rocque, Kelly Wainwright, Snoop Dog, The Jennifer’s Warnings: Shenanigans, Katie being a sweetheart, the boys doing their best to help James, plans not going the way anyone planned, jerky teens, don’t mess with someone the boys, Katie, and Mama Knight like, the pool is a good place for jerky people to chill in, Mama Knight always manages to find the oddest recipes  Word Count: 4,151

A/N: I honestly have no idea what happened to Dad Knight but we’re gonna pretend that Jennifer and he went through a divorce when the kids were young, and she kept her married last name

Late Christmas gift (fic) for requester @lilacprincessofrecovery​ 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You sit beside Katie, Kendall’s little sister, who’s currently working on earning a quick buck or two from the “pool jockies” as you and Camille like to call them. You glance over at her cards and see that she’s close to winning another round of go fish. 

The jockies can’t grasp the basic rules of poker so you came up with a compromise and chose a classic game of go fish. 

You lean over and whisper, “the one across from you has queens and the one to your left has seven.” 

“You’re sure?” 

“I’m right about the queens. You just need one more than the one on your right and you’ll win.” 

“Okay.” 

Thanks to your little tip, she won which none of them liked. 

“If you don’t want to lose, then don’t play,” you advise. 

The one that sits across from Katie scoffs, heading back inside, most likely getting his luggage to go home for winter break. 

“It’s been a while since you had something to eat. Do you want me to get you anything from the snack machine?” 

“I think I’m gonna head inside and go play some video games. You can join me since Kendall’s at the studio, finishing up their latest album.” 

You smile, “alright. Be prepared to lose to the master.” 

“Oh, you’re on. Oh, actually can you get some candy. Mom wants to try this weird candy recipe and I was supposed to ask Kendall, but you know, I was in the zone before he left.” 

You nod, “yeah, sure. Anything specific?” 

“No gummies and no chocolate.” 

“That leaves room for a lot of choices, doesn’t it?” 

She raises her arms, “I’m not the one who made the recipe.” 

“Yeah, yeah.” 

“I’ll wait with you.” 

“You don’t have to do that.” 

“You’re the only other person here besides my brother and his idiot friends who is actually nice to me. My mom also wouldn’t like it if I came up without you.” 

“Aww, who’s a mama’s girl.” You pull out a dollar from your pocket, reaching for your bag when you realize you left it at the table. “Hey, can you do me a quick favor and grab my bag. I want to make sure I get enough for your mom. You’ve got me curious about her future creation.” 

She nods. 

You push the buttons for the candy when a shadow blocks the light, turning you find one of the guys from the game. 

“Hey, chubbs.” 

You furrow your brows, hoping he’ll go away before Katie comes back. 

“Maybe if you didn’t eat all this junk, you’d lose a pound or two.” 

“Just because I’m getting candy, doesn’t mean it’s for me.” 

“Isn’t that what they all say.” 

You furrow your brows, “you don’t have to be a jerk.” 

“You don’t have to be a jerk, cry me a river. Quite eating this crap,” he smacks the item out of your hands. “It’s not for you.” 

You don’t look up, keeping your eyes on the floor. 

“Can’t even look away from it for a second. Pathetic.” 

He walks away when one of his buddies calls him over. 

Katie stands beside you, handing you your bag. “Are you okay?” 

You put a brave face on and nod. “Yep, all good. Now, let’s get your mom the candy so she can get started on it.” 

Katie overheard what the jerk said and wants to make you feel better, but she’s never been good at it. She’s not letting you go back to your apartment until you absolutely have to, no one should be sad or alone during the holidays. Her eyes widen at the amount of candy you got. “Okay. I think we’re more than okay. This is already a lot more than what I planned on getting.” 

“You sure?” 

She nods, “definitely.” She grabs the candy from you and holds it close to her chest. “Let’s go. If she gets started now, she can be done but the time the boys get back.” 

“You guys don’t have any holiday plans?” 

“We did but then everyone canceled so we’re stuck here but now you can hang out with us.” 

“Oh, I can? I feel honored.” 

“My mom loves you.” 

“I’ve only met her once.” 

“And she thought you really nice. Wait, until she hears about you helping me win.” 

You push the elevator close door button, wanting to get to their apartment faster. “Don’t you dare.” 

“She won’t believe me anyway.” 

“Ha!” 

The young girl shakes her head, smiling, feeling proud of herself for bed able to keep you happy… even if it’s only temporary. She has an idea that maybe you don’t actually like what you see. She sees the baggy clothes you wear to hide yourself; it makes more sense with what that jerk told you earlier. “You look nice by the way,” Katie tells you, keeping her attention on the elevator doors. 

“Oh,” you whisper, not expecting her to say that. You glance down at your usual jean and sneaker combo followed by your cute festive, semi tight Christmas holiday shirt with a black jacket to keep you warm. “Thanks. I like your shoes.” 

She smirks, you had given her Christmas shoes laces as a joke not expecting her to wear them of course but here you are. “I know.” 

-

“We’re back,” the child announces, walking into the apartment. 

“Who’s we exactly?” Her mom asks, the last time she tried to get Katie a friend it turned out to be an adult who then stole her car- or rental car, it was a blur after realizing it was a car that was in her possession was stolen. “Oh,” she notices you, standing in the doorway and smiles. “Come on in. I’m so happy it’s you. How are you?” She hugs you, you weakly hug her back. 

The negative thoughts try to enter your mind again. ‘She pities you. Forever the fat pitied girl.’ You give her a weak smile. “We got the last ingredient you needed for your latest creation.” 

“Oh, that’s so sweet but I’m pretty sure my daughter was supposed to tell her brother to get it.” 

“She mentioned something like that, but I figured why not try the vending machine first. Save a few bucks, you know.” 

“I knew I liked you for a reason.” 

“We’re gonna play games.” Katie tries to pull you towards the couch when her mom stops her. 

“Oh no. You promised to help me.” 

“But-” 

“It could be fun.” 

“Don’t side with her, please.” 

“You two could make Christmas cookies.” 

“Oh, yay. I’ve been waiting make some myself but-” ‘She’s gonna think your fat, talking about cookies.’ “I- uh- never found the time.” 

“Let’s make the cookies… from scratch.” 

“I don’t like the look you have on your face, Katie,” you tell the young girl. 

The smile never leaving her face. 

“How about Mrs. Knight and I switch places?” 

“First, it’s Ms. Knight. And no, you two can make the cookies.” She turns to you, “I have faith that you’ll make sure the cookies come out right. Katie just wants to throw flour on you.” 

You nod, “I figured as much.” 

The older woman smiles, patting your arm, “you’re gonna have fun.” 

A nervous chuckle escapes you, “I don’t know.” 

“You will and while you do, I’ll be over there on the couch reading a book.” 

“Fabio?” 

The mother of the apartment says nothing. 

“Have fun with your book.” 

She nods and heads over to the couch, getting comfortable. 

“Alright,” you turn to Katie, “what flavor are we making?” 

“Chocolate chip.” 

“Excellent choice.” You order her to get all of the items and ingredients you’ll need and remind her of the sweet outcome whenever she huffs and puffs. 

“Now can we make the cookies?” 

“Yep, let’s get started.” You tell her which ingredients you need while you do the mixing. 

You two sit and play hangman while you two wait for the cookies to finish cooking. “Seriously? You used the word ambrosia. How was I supposed to guess that?” 

She smirks, “don’t order me around.” 

“Oh,” you shake your head, “you’re evil.” 

“I don’t think so.” 

“Of course, you don’t.” The timer on the microwave dings. “I’ll check on the cookies.” 

The boys enter the apartment and slump against the couch, two on each side of Kendall and Katie’s mom. “I smell cookies,” says Carlos, with a confused expression. 

“I do too,” Logan and James add. 

“Mom?” 

“Ask your sister,” she flips another page of her book. 

“Okay, Katie. I-” You scream, almost dropping the hot tray of cookies. “Geez.” You grab a towel and set it on the counter before setting the tray down. 

The boys stare at the tray of heavenly smelling cookies... all except for James, who’s jaw is open as he stares at you. 

Katie sits beside Logan who sits beside her brother, watching this whole thing with amusement. 

‘They think your fat for making cookies... even though they look like they want one.’ You purse your lips at this next thought. ‘They can eat them without the sugar going to their hips.’ You avoid her gaze and turn towards the sink, washing the dishes so Ms. Knight doesn’t have to. 

Carlos and Logan glance at one another, eyes switching between each other and the cookies. 

The brainiac shakes his head, the helmet lover nods; this goes on for a couple of minutes until Carlos reaches for a cookie and hisses. 

“The cookies just came out. You saw her take them out,” Katie points out. 

“But- it’s cookies,” the corndog lover weakly argues. 

“They have to cool.” 

“But I want cookies.” 

You dry your hands on a napkin and slowly turn around. “If I,” you pause when the five turn to give you, their attention. “If I get you some cookies, will you stop trying to grab them off the hot cookie sheet?” 

The boys nod. 

Katie gets out of the chair before you asked her to get you plates. 

You scoop a couple of cookies onto each plate and slide them in front of each boy, not forgetting to give a plate to Katie and her mom. 

A small smile tugs at the corner of your lips. 

“Don’t you want to try some?” You shake your head with a polite smile, “no, thanks for offering though Katie.” 

She furrows her brows. “But you said-” 

“I- I decided that I’m gonna stop eating so much candy.” 

She knows where you’re going with this and what thoughts are running around your mind. 

“Oh, okay. Well. I’m sure I can whip up something else,” Ms. Knight offers, collecting the boys’ plates. 

You shake your head, “it's- its fine. I should go back to my place.” You walk around the counter, grabbing your bag off the table. “Thank you so much for letting me hangout here.” 

“Do you h-ave to go?” asks James, voice cracking halfway through. “You could- we could hang- hang out?” 

An uncomfortable smile stretches across your lips. “I- I would but, I have to go. Maybe some other time?” You add even though you don’t really mean it, thinking he was just being nice to the “fat” girl. 

“Oh, yeah. Okay, next time.” 

A quiet, “bye” slips past your lips before the door closes shut. 

-

The boys or Katie’s mom didn’t see you much after that day. They couldn’t find you when it was only everyone in the apartment, Kelly, Gustavo, and Snoop Dog who were stuck at the studio. 

Katie wanted to invite you to stay and hangout with them since she knows your family always have plans, leaving you here alone. She was lucky to have found you a few days after everyone came back from break. 

“How was your guy’s Christmas?” you ask her, sitting in the cabana. 

“Not better than yours.” 

“Somehow I don’t believe that.” 

-

Just because the boys haven’t talked to you since you made cookies, doesn’t mean they haven’t seen you. 

Every time James sees you, he forgets everything he was doing or thinking. 

The others always encourage him to try and ask you out (not just because they’re tired of hearing him go on and on about you) but he always gives them some sort of excuse as to why he can’t or shouldn’t making it even weirder because... it’s James. But they see how he is whenever he’s near you and know that he has a big time crush on you. 

-

Kendall pulls together an idea, knowing that you and Katie are hanging out by the pool as usual so naturally he calls, more like yanks, Carlos and Logan with him. 

“Operation: Get James a date is happening today.” 

“Today? Like today-today? We’re not ready,” Logan tells him. 

“It happens and he will get a date with the one person who can get him to use less of his body spray.” 

“How are we gonna do that?” asks Carlos. 

“I’m glad you asked.” 

They rope James into coming over and helping them with their fake plan. 

“Okay, James. I’m gonna be honest with you right now,” Kendall starts. 

“We lied!” Logan blurts out. 

“That’s not what we agreed to do.” The leader smacks the brainiacs shoulder, who whines as he holds his arm. 

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold it in anymore. He should know. He needs to know what we’re doing here.” 

“What exactly are we doing here?” The pretty boy chimes in. 

“We’re helping you ask out the only nice girl here.” Carlos glances over at the offended duo and sighs, correcting himself. “Who isn’t dating anyone.” 

“What?” James eyes widen. “You’re trying to get me to ask her out?! No. No. No.” 

“You can do it,” Carlos encourages him. 

“It’s all going to be fine,” Kendall pats his shoulder. 

“Take these flowers,” Logan shoves the bundle of flowers into his friends’ hand, “and go find her.” 

James trips, using his hands to put some distance between his face and the floor, not wanting to damage his face; the flowers are a now mess on the floor. 

No one stops to help, only glancing over at him and continuing with their day. 

Luckily for you, you didn’t hear it, the music blasting through your headphones blocking out all and any sounds around you. 

He sighs and pushes himself off the ground with sad and slow movements. 

The other three reach out to comfort him but he continues walking past them and into the pool area since the kids from class were having fun first day of summer pool party. 

“She’s still there,” Logan weakly adds. “This is good.” 

“Let’s go before he floats in the pool, staring into the sun,” Carlos taps his helmet before running outside. 

-

You hide in the cabana, not wanting to see anyone or have anyone see you in the jean shorts, you haven’t worn in what feels like a millennium. You don’t even know why you’re here; you should be in your apartment watching some old romance movie that you find stupid because you haven’t been in love or in a relationship. 

You don’t even know why you left the cabana flap open, maybe it was some kind of subconscious self-torture because all you see when you look at the pool is everyone from class which consist of skinny girls in bikinis. 

Just as you pointed them out to yourself, the Jennifer’s give you a polite wave, something not everyone could get which made your harsh thoughts about yourself make you feel bad for thinking these kinds of things when they’ve been nice to you for almost as long as you’ve known them. Sure, they were a bit rough around the edges when you first met the girls but after helping them when they needed it, they’ve been nothing but kind to you. 

The smile falls from your face as you watch them settle onto the pool lounge chairs. ‘They didn’t need to buy new bathing suits. They didn’t gain anything during the holidays.’ You shake your head, sighing. ‘Don’t focus on that. You look cute too. Your shorts are perfect for your shirt.’ You tug your jacket closer around your torso, half tempted to zip it but deciding not to prevent yourself from overheating. You noticed James lazily floating on one of the bed floaties, staring up at the sky. 

Almost as if he could feel eyes on him, his head rolls to the side; he glances over at you. 

You both freeze, keeping eye contact with one another. You didn’t realize it at first but, you offer a small wave in his direction. 

He returns the slow wave. 

You quickly lower your head, trying to focus on your book. ‘Why’d you even accept their invite to this?’ You bite the inside of your cheek, letting go when the flavor of copper hits your tastebuds. ‘They probably invited you out of the pity. The fat girl friends with a child. They want something to laugh at.’ 

-

Katie draws James’s attention away from you. 

“What?” He asks, with an annoyed tone. 

“Get out of the pool and talk to her. She needs someone to talk to and I can’t do it.” 

“Why not?” 

“My mom wants to me to do something that other kids my age do.” She notices the raised brow and disbelief expression he has on his face. “Whatever that means. Go and talk to her. I’m tired of you not saying anything.” 

“I can’t talk to her,” he stresses the second word as if that would help. 

“You can. It’s easy. She likes music, you’re in a band. Find common ground.” 

“You make it sound like I’m going into battle... I’m not, right?” 

“You are and oh look, we’re here.” She shoves him in front of the cabana, hiding behind one of the oddly placed plants. 

James catches himself before he could trip, glancing back of his shoulder only to find no Katie. He sighs. 

“Hi James.” 

His shoulders tense up, eyes quickly moving onto you. 

“You know my name?” 

‘This isn’t awkward.’ You nod, “kind of hard not to when you’re the newest artist around here.” You purse your lips, since when did talking to others get to be so hard. ‘Have I always sounded like this?’ 

He chuckles, “that- uh- yeah, that makes sense.” 

You gulp before you ask him if he wants to sit in here with you. 

His eyes widen in surprise making you feel bad. 

Did you make him think you hated him because if so, that was not your intentions. 

“Yeah, okay.” He’s quick to walk over towards the unoccupied seat near you. 

-

Kendall and the other two exit the Palm Woods lobby with Carlos munching on whatever caught his interest in the vending machine today. 

“Where could he be?” Logan questions with his hands on his lips. 

This was not like their friend to just disappear for hours on end (even though it had been ten minutes. The debate between snacks Carlos had with himself was absolute hell). 

The boy with the extra accessory points to something in front of him, unable to respond as he continues to munch on his snack of the day. 

“Looks like he doesn’t need any help,” Kendall comments. 

“We can get rid of these costumes then, right?” Logan starts itching his collar bone. 

“After we-” 

“Nope,” the brainiac shakes his head. “Nope, besides Carlos already stained his so, we can’t use these.” 

-

“Are you gonna go into the pool at any point today?” James asks, with an innocent tone. 

“Uh- n- I don’t think I will.” 

“Why not?” 

You say the first thing that pops into your head. “I’m not a big fan of splashing.” 

“We could hangout near a corner... or something.” 

“We?” You turn your head to him. 

He scratches the back of his neck, a nervous chuckle slipping through the small smile he has on his lips. “Uh- yeah. I mean or we could- we could just stay here, if that’s what you want. I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.” 

‘If only he knew.’ “Maybe when there’s less people,” you grip the edge of your jacket, further curling it around you. “We could go for a swim,” your voice wavers at the word. 

Almost as if he knows what you’re thinking he offers something else. “Nah, I’ve already been in the sun for too long. I definitely don’t want to become one of those overly tan people, you know.” 

You chuckle, knowing exactly who he’s talking about and sadly, it’s usually the parents of the other kids that live here at the Palm Woods. “Yeah, smart move on your part,” you joke with him. 

The corner of his lip’s twitches, he got you to make a joke. He didn’t think he’d be able to make you smile much less make a joke, the butterflies in his stomach start fluttering faster than ever. 

“Have any of you beaten BTF yet?” 

He furrows his brows, “how do you know about that?” 

“It’s me. Katie gets bored when she beats the pool jockies and we’ve been practicing your guys’ video games so we can beat you.” 

He chuckles, “now that I know that you’re so going down.” 

“I’d like to see you try,” you playfully shove his arm. 

“How can you stand to be near it?” The pool jocky who was being a jerk before Christmas snickers. 

“What?” James asks, not understanding why this guy is being such a jerk to such a nice person. “Just don’t feed her, she’ll never leave if you do.” He turns around, heading towards the pool area feeling very highly of himself. 

Your brows knit together, a sad pout on your lips. “Let’s just go, James.” 

“What?” He spins around, standing in front of you. “No. He doesn’t get to talk to you like that and pretend like he didn’t.” 

“It’s fine. This isn’t something new.” 

“And I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen again.” 

You didn’t see anything because Logan and Carlos stop you from following him. “Would you let me at least-” 

“Nope,” the former shakes his head. “Not happening. Kendall and James have got this handled.” 

Carlos nods, “yeah. We just gotta trust them-” 

And then the quick screams of the Jennifer’s and pool splashing causes all of your eyes to widen. 

“I’m sure it’s fine,” Logan says, turning you around so your back is to the facing the front desk of the lobby as he avoids your gaze. 

James walks through the open doors, stopping in the doorway, smiling when he sees you and tries to slick his hair back. 

Kendall rolls his eyes, Katie walking up behind the two. “Please stop.” 

The two jump up, hugging one another as they let out a quick scream until they realize who it is and immediately push the other one away from them. 

“You’re fine, she won’t care if your hair is messed up-” 

“It’s messed up?” He asks, reaching for hair. 

“What? No. That’s not important. If I hear you did something to make her cry or anything to hurt, her feelings. You won’t know revenge until it happens to you.” 

A short chuckle slips past your lips as you place a hand on James’s shoulder. “Let’s not threaten people today, Katie.” 

“I’m not, just implying what could happen if he isn’t nice,” she says, a fake smile tugging at the corner of her lips. 

“Yeah, I’m not buying that.” You start to push James into the direction of the elevators. You two stare at the doors, unsure of how to talk to one another knowing that he did- whatever it is he did because he cares about you. ‘My stomach feels weird, but I don’t have an upset stomach?’ “Thank you.” 

“It was fun.” 

“Not as much as it’ll be when I kick your butt.” 

“Oh, you’re on.” 

-

Carlos tilts his head, “does anyone smell cookies?” 

“As long as you don’t smell toast, we’re good,” Logan adds. 

“Huh?” 

“Nothing.” 

“Could you two walk any slower,” Katie whines. She opens the door, shaking her head watching the two having fun. She wanders over, leaning over the back of the couch. “Any more BTF?” 

“You know it.” 

“Cookies are done,” Ms. Knight announces, scooping the cookies off the cookie sheet and onto a plate. 

Everyone runs over to the counter, wincing at the temperature. 

“What does BTF mean?” asks James as he breaks a cookie in half offering you the other half. 

You accept, “oh, that.” You chuckle, “it was actually something I use to make fun of Katie but when I tell you, I… will painfully admit that I’m a fan of your guy’s music because it means… big time fan.” 

He leans in. “Can I assume someone here is your favorite member?” 

“Nope, let’s go play some more. I’m so close to getting the scoreboard to be all BTF.”

[kinardscoffee]

But what if Chris just breaks? He just sobs over Buck's body, and no one knows what to do?

And a nurse whispers to Eddie, "Is that his son?"

And Eddie just nods. Because, yes, that is Buck's son. The Diaz boys are his found family, and it's in that moment that Eddie realizes his feelings for Buck just might run a little deeper than friendship.

I think he'll have discussions with various people about this feeling. Not necessarily saying that it's Buck, but he'll definitely want opinions.

Maybe that leads to these "dates."

Also, remember in Season 2 when that girl got her head stuck in the tailpipe and all the girls thought Buck and Eddie were hot?

Eddie said that they weren't his type. Honestly, I get it. They were clearly way too immature for him, but also, he could have said, "sorry, I'm married."

But he didn't.

And sure, maybe he didn't want people to know, but it would definitely be a valid excuse.

Also, Eddie mentions in one episode (it's late, and I can't remember when, lol) something about how he wasn't ready to get married or have a kid. He was in the military, and we don't know for how long, but I can totally see Eddie's dad saying that you marry someone if they get pregnant. Period.

We've heard references from Eddie that his dad was always saying things like, "Man up!" Or "don't be too soft."

A kid living with this his entire life would naturally want a job where he would both 1, seem manly and tough, and 2, create a safe distance between them. His dad wasn't around much so in Eddie's mind, being a "man" means having a wife, having kids, owning a house, and ultimately working your life away for those things.

I can't imagine how scared little Eddie might have felt knowing he was attracted to both men and women. Knowing he actually enjoyed cooking. Playing video games. Watching Soap Operas.

All of those things he does now.

And isn't it odd we barely saw Eddie kiss Shannon or Ana? He didn't even kiss Shannon or hold her when she died. He was upset, absolutely. I do believe he loved her. But he wasn't in love with her. He tries to make it work for Chris and the potential new baby.

Then there's Buck.

Who I honestly believe is Pansexual. Falling for the person is so Buck it's unreal. Notice he doesn't really approach Taylor in a flirtatious way until he believes she withheld the information about Bobby. As soon as he realized it wasn't her choice and she would have ran it, he shuts down pretty quick.

He clearly finds Eddie attractive. He basically said so when Maddie thought Chimney was cute, and Buck assumed she meant Eddie.

Then there's also that poker night with Maddie, Josh, Chimney, and Buck. Josh mentions that he thought Maddie was trying to set him up with Buck. Buck never says anything to have us believe that he wouldn't date a man. And Josh is an out gay man. Gay men know... they just do.

There's the situation where Buck loses Chris during the tsunami, and he's so upset. Not just because he lost Chris but also because he fears that Eddie will hate him. Buck calls Maddie absolutely devastated because he can't tell Eddie that he failed. And I think that this is an important moment becausee Buck has done things to upset multiple people, and he has never been afraid of the consequences. Only when it comes to Eddie does he panic.

I honestly don't know where I was going with this but in all seriousness, if they weren't always going for Buddie to happen in canon, they've been making some really crazy decisions when writing and filming. Like, I've watched a lot of shows that have close guy friends and their relationship dynamic is just completely fucking different than what 911 is doing.

So, take your own advice 911 writers, and man the hell up!

Give us Buddie or stop writing a fanfic slowburn. Your stan is showing.

AIB Executive Board found family HC's 2

He ho here are the last 4 of my exec fam. I decided not to do Arisu, but he is in my heart. as a reminder, this is a dysfunctional family unit, so there is some angst ahead.

This time on the board; Hatter, Ann, Niragi, and Lass boss.

-hatter is the fun dad. Hides the best alcohol in his room,

-also didn't intend to adopt a haggle of emotionally stunted 20 somethings', but here we go

-oh, is absolutely still gay for Aguni, but respects their friendship enough not to push it. Would 100% play matchmaker with the other execs and be fantastic at it (read this for whatever ship you desire)

-special spot for Arisu, as a fellow heart player. It is in the 'I can make him worse' kind of way, though, so this causes some grief with Aguni

-the person you go to for hair care tips, and nothing else. Can't cook for shit and would probably give you food poisoning. 

-Makes sex jokes, and every time someone covers Arisu's ears

-his slow descent into madness makes everyone sad, bc they know he's a good guy at heart. Everyone can see how the beach is slowly poisoning the humanity of those who run it, but they wouldn't have met without it. It's a sad reality the executive board face.

-Does like Niragi (again not in a good way) but they have an animosity between them. They both care for Aguni, and neither can express that properly. 

-Ann is the only one with her own brain cell, and she waves that above everyone's head.

-The older sister of the group and laughs wherever people find out she's like almost 30. Gives 'when I was your age' ironically but in a deadpan tone. Vibes with Chishiya the most bc he can be quiet.

-Wears shades all the time because she's shit at maintaining eye contact. 

-She and Mira are girl-buddies, and will sit and whisper during meetings whenever the disaster duo start arguing. 

-She likes to paint her nails different colors every day of the week, and has successfully gotten hatter, Mira, Lass Boss, and Kuzuryu to wear it as well.

-she wears heals to spite Chishiya, who is 5'5 in (1.65 m) elevated sneakers. They have peak sibling rivalry, thank you.

-the exec board likes to play 'is this woman Lesbian, Straight, or Aromantic?' bc with Ann it is honestly a toss up. (again, read this as you desire)

-Hates Niragi with her whole body, since she's quite close with Usagi. They don't get a long at all.

-Niragi is the most detached from the family unit. They all (reasonably) give him grief for the bad things he does around the beach, and he's too proud to apologize or, ya know, stop so here we are

-Being given a gun was the worst possible choice, and Hatter and Aguni both know it made him a worse person. He was a normal asshole with anger issue before, and since joining the militants he's become…. Well…

-He is a game engineer nerd at heart, tho, and will occasionally go off on a 20-minute tangent on something game related. The exec's find this side of him very cute.

-Although he doesn't care for other's lives, he's usually the one who can find loopholes in games that would allow for the least amount of deaths. He doesn't say this, ofc, but he does know it.

-Best friends with Lass Boss, and is the only one who gets first name privileges. They sometimes vibe in comfortable silence when no one else is around. Lass boss knows the most personal facts about him, and his silent acceptance is why Niragi likes him. They're platonic soulmates, no romance, thank you.

-Actually really likes Arisu and wants him around, but doesn't know how to do that in a healthy way besides making him as fucked up  (i.e removing Usagi from the picture). On a good day, they can have a semi-civil convo about games and be nerds together. 

-Has the most respect for Aguni and views him as a sort of father, but won't acknowledge that for shit. He knows hatter is what makes Aguni sad, unintentionally or not, and that's why he hates the man so much. Aside from the fact he's a bad leader.

-Lass boss is certainly neurodivergent, you can decide in what way

-A dyslexia journalist, (he just like me fr)

-Doesn't talk much, but agreed to be a chill militant with a stabby stabby obsession. Aside from that, probably the least problematic militant. Still not great, but really they're all different flavors of 'please seek help'

-Would have an in depth discussion on certain books with Kuzuyu, and they'd be very analytical. 

-Respects Kuina for her fighting skills and the fact she can do it in a bikini

-Gender? Fuck if Lass boss knows or cares. He/They/it pronouns, but you'd only know from context clues. Literally never came out, people just figured it out. 

-Would rather die than obey the swimsuit rule, and hatter has come to accept this.

-Is one of the few exec members who can cook, and since Niragi can bake, they're a functioning unit in the kitchen.

-(ha i did this all without using third-person singular pronouns without even trying)

What are your thoughts on the OCS?

Sometimes it seems like a manipulative cult that recruits vulnerable girls. But, it's also this found family for many of them. Is it good or evil? Is it both?

oh buddy. i ... actually have been having thoughts about this for the past few days (what is it with y'all being on my brainwave? must be something in the universe idk) as in, i've been contemplating the parallels between the OCS and the military.

so for context, i'm coming at this as a person who was in the military, who is a female poc from a middle class immigrant asian family. i give this context because i see a lot of the military in the OCS (i've mentioned it in some of my write ups and a big part of why i ended up writing the top gun 2 au) - mostly because the OCS is presented as an organization with a methodology that is built on violence.

i tried my best to be coherent but there's likely some meandering - feel free to ask further questions or clarification.

tl;dr - imo, it's all of the above.

i'm going to start with my experience in the military before i talk about the OCS because there's something in me that's chafing at the word "vulnerable." it's not that i think it's the wrong word per se, but that there's context that's needed.

for me, i had several family members who were in the military: my dad for one, several uncles, and a handful of my older cousins. this means i grew up learning that the military was a) one of the most honorable, respectable, and coolest professions you could join, b) the only profession where you were judged solely on your performance (i.e. racism wasn't overt), c) great financially because the pay was transparent and the benefits (back in the day) were fantastic if you stayed til retirement.

i don't believe any of that anymore, but that's what i'd learned. this is what my family believed (still does, actually). this is what many other poc believed too. compared with the opaque, racist corporate world - and having the responsibility of taking care of one's parents, who'd immigrated from their home country to give you "a better life" - having something stable and honorable like the military seemed like the best choice. why would i choose something else? how could i even see anything else? the military was the only choice i knew.

i left the military over a decade ago, but there's still a part of me that thinks "i'll never top my time in the military; i'll never have an experience quite like that." and the larger part of me can acknowledge now that yes, that's true. because when you're in an organization like the military (and comparatively, like the OCS) it's exhilarating in a way, knowing that you're part of something that's larger than yourself, knowing that you were deemed worthy - that you proved that you were worthy - of being part of this elite, special organization that has this grand, noble, world-saving mission. and yes, you feel a bond with the folks you serve with - bound by a vow to serve and protect, bound by experiences only they will understand.

there's nothing quite like that.

and i never want to experience that again.

because yes, it's exhilarating and exciting, and it's addicting in a way - to do all these cool things that folks make movies about, to know you're doing your part in keeping the people you love safe, to build relationships where no matter what, they've got your back.

but it's blinding. it blinds you to the violence, the harm that you're inflicting in the name of the mission - on both others and your own self. it blinds you to other ways of living. it blinds you to other ways of being safe - on both a personal and national level. this kind of experience trains you constantly: "this is the only way; this is the only choice."

and you can probably see why Beatrice's backstory resonated with me. of course she chose the church, the OCS - this was the only choice she had, the only choice she could possibly make to prove herself, to make herself worthy. in the OCS, she found a community of folks who, like her, were committed to a mission and ready to give their lives because, like her, that was probably the only choice they thought they had. it was the best choice they had.

maybe that's why i chafe at the use of "vulnerable" - because at the time, choosing the military felt like my shot at redemption, at salvation. it wasn't a moment of weakness, but of strength.

at least, that's what i had been trained to believe. and there is, apparently, still a part of me that believes it. even though there's the larger part of me that can see now the ecosystem that forced my hand.

it's also why i love Ava as a protagonist - how she was determined to find another way, how desperate she was to live. because organizations that are built on violence, organizations like the military, like the OCS, it takes folks who believe they need to prove themselves and takes advantage of that need, forces them to carry more than any person ever should, then calls them noble, calls them honorable, calls them worthy - all the while training them, ultimately, to die.

does good sometimes result from that, grow out of that? yeah. but the cost is very, very high.

#idk anon this got really rambly #i just can't not see the military when i think of the ocs #and when i think of the military it still tugs at me #there was this one quora post a while back that explained how marine bootcamp is basically psychological retraining #bc like no one's first response is to run towards gunfire #and it takes a certain belief in one's self to sign up for that kind of thing #but it's a belief that is taught through culture and through the system #a belief that you get caught up in like a web and you don't even know it when you're in it #... why did i choose this analogy i hate spiders wtf self #anyway #anon i hope this is what you were looking for #but if not feel free to ask further questions #other folks can ask too it's cool #jt answers #jt rambles #warrior nun

have some Unless You Ask Me To - ch 8 💕 because someone accused Buck of being a deadbeat dad who ran out on Chris (was Eddie in a grocery store again? 🤣)

“I will come back,” Buck says adamantly, because he will. He will. He doesn’t know how right now, but he will. “I promise. Okay? It’ll just take some time. I need to think about things and figure out how to be happy and how to be a good friend. A better friend. A better Buck. For you, for your dad, for everyone. But I’m right here if you need me. You need anything, you call me.”

“Even if it’s to talk about how Michael farted in the middle of social studies and it was so loud, the teacher didn’t even know what it was until we all started to smell it and then we had to take a field trip to the library because everyone said it was toxic and we were all going to pass out and die?”

Buck laughs, and remembers asking Eddie something similar. If he’d still want to listen to Buck ramble about mosquitoes and everything he’d research nosedived into. “Yep. Even then. Especially then. Is he still crushing on Saanvi?”

“No, he hates her because she told everyone he’s terrible at kissing. Davin told me that he tried to lick her face when he kissed her and she said it was gross and then told everyone else it was gross and that only girls know how to kiss so she’s a lesbian now.”

Wow. The adventures of middle school never cease to amaze. “Well. Good for her? Not so much for Michael. But…”

“Yeah, he was really mad. But he likes Ava now and also Courtney. They don’t like him yet but both of them say they still like boys. Buck, do you think all boys are bad at kissing?” 

“Um,” that’s a lot to process but what he can say with absolutely certainty is, “No. Some are very good at it. It takes practice, just like anything. And of course permission, good communication, consent. You know. All those things. Are you—” 

Should he ask? Probably not. He can only think of his own parents and god, that’s awkward and awful and too much like when they found him half-naked with another boy when he was fifteen. His mouth wasn’t exactly on the other guy’s mouth though. And everyone left traumatized. 

Of course, why the hell not? He wants to be someone Chris can talk to about anything. And it’s not like he’s actually Christopher’s parent. He’s nothing. So. “Are you thinking about kissing someone? And worrying you’ll be bad at it?”

“No,” Chris says. “Maybe. I don’t know.” 

Ah. So, he’s right on the money somewhere. “Are you sure? Because most people aren’t good at it their first few times. No one automatically knows what to do. You just have to talk to the person you like and make sure they feel good about it and you feel good about it. It’s kind of scary in the beginning, but once you have some practice, it’s better. Just make sure you’re both kissing because you want to. Not because other people are kissing or because you feel like you have to for some reason.” Buck sighs heavily and wishes Eddie would remember that, too. 

Except Eddie is all in love and happy now. So. Never mind. 

“I know that,” Chris says as if he’s 50 years old and has heard it for all of his life. “I told Dad even that communication is the most important in a relationship.” 

Buck laughs and can just imagine the look on Eddie’s face. “Good. Did he listen?”

“Who knows. Dad does whatever he wants. It made Mom mad a lot. And Miss Flores would worry because he wouldn’t talk to her at all about what he was thinking or feeling, so she’d always ask me if I knew what was on his mind. Or how he might open up to her. I had no idea. He was always weird and different when she was around though. Bad kind of different. Like he wasn’t even Dad anymore.”

Yeah. Yeah, Buck did notice some of that, too. 

“Do you think Dad is gay? Or is he bi like you? Because he told me he has a boyfriend now and that he likes him. And I know he loves Mom but I don’t think he really liked Miss Flores very much.”

The boyfriend. The magical boyfriend who makes Eddie fall in love and want to have sex and go on overnight vacation trips. Buck sighs. “I don’t know. You would have to ask him.”

“Hmm,” Chris says thoughtfully. “I guess I would. Can I call you after school tomorrow? Or later this week?”

At least that is the end of the Eddie has a boyfriend talk. “Yeah, of course. Except, I’m working tomorrow night.” And Eddie has Monday and Tuesday off, and Buck doesn’t want to make it weird or awkward. Or painful. It’s bad enough as it is. “What about Wednesday? Want to call me then?”

“Yes. Wednesday. Thanks, Buck. I love you.”

Buck bites his lip and can’t wait. “I love you, too, buddy. Talk to you then.”

DIGIWEEK (2022) - DAY 5+6 - PokeDigiBey Supremacy Forever ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

Just some general group dynamics:

Ash is the baby of the group, nobody can say no to him and everyone spoils him senseless. If he says he wants to rob a bank, then everyone else is already coming up with a list of the nearest banks.

Yamato and Kai enjoy each other’s company the most because they can both just be quietly comfortable around each other. There’s never a moment of awkwardness or tension between them and the two can just sit together in silence for hours, with Yamato working on his music and Kai reading. Kai also expects the most out of Yamato in comparison to the Troublemaker Trio™️ but then sometimes Yamato can’t resist joining in their shenanigans too and Kai ends up being a tired dad of four toddlers high on sugar.

Tyson and Taichi are super close, almost like brothers, but have this innate need to compete over everything. Like they’d give their lives for each other without hesitation, but they also need to see who can fit the most amount of takoyakis in their mouth in under a minute. But if Taichi is in trouble or if he makes a mistake, he always calls Tyson first because he knows that Tyson will race there at the speed of light without any questions asked and never judge him for whatever he’s done. 

Ash looks up to Tyson the most, he’d follow him blindly straight into the mouth of a dragon. Which in turn makes Kai worry about Ash all the time that he’s not in his field of vision. Yamato takes a lot of advice from Ash when he has disagreements with Takeru, and Ash often mediates the arguments between the two. He also spends the most amount of time hanging out with Taichi since their hobbies and interests are very similar, so every time Ash makes a suggestion in the group chat Taichi is the only one who always offers to join him.

It’s impossible for Kai to say no to Taichi, somehow the latter is very good at putting his point across and if Kai disagrees then it usually leads to long discussions where Taichi just refuses to back down, so to avoid wasting time, Kai usually ends up agreeing to everything Taichi says.

Tyson and Yamato have the same taste in music so they’re concert buddies, they also have the same taste in food, so whenever Yamato is trying out a new recipe, he always asks Tyson to be the taste-tester.

Hilary is the go-to mom friend for all the girls and she enjoys this position a lot! All the girls have her number saved on speed dial and she’s everyone’s secret keeper. Sora and my OC (Charlie) don’t get along at all, they’re kind of like the female versions of TaiYama arguing and Hils always has to mediate all their arguments. When Misty doesn’t feel like she can approach her sisters about something they did to her, she always takes Charlie and Hilary along and they argue with Daisy and Co for her. Hilary also enjoys eating weird combinations of foods like Mimi and the day the two decide to enter the kitchen together, everyone runs to a different country (on Kai’s private jet ofc).

For Charlie I have many different background stories, but one of the most prominent ones I use is that she’s the TakaIshi brothers’ cousin (from Natsuko’s side), but they don’t find that out until they’re teens because her Mom always kept the identity of the father a secret (their is a whole other story here it’ll take me ages to dive into it lol). She’s a very ‘my way or high way’ kind of person and the only who can keep her in check is Hilary. Mimi is very close to Charlie and in the canon compliant timeline, Mimi meets her when she’s staying in the US and Charlie is actually the one who helps her colour her hair pink (to Satoe’s horror).

Sora and Misty are both very athletic so they usually go to the gym or go jogging together. They both also have trouble connecting with their families (mother and sisters respectively) so it’s easier for them to open up to each other about their deeper feelings and emotions. While Mimi and Misty have similar interests and hobbies outside of Sports, so they spend a lot of time hanging out together, like going for Karaoke or shopping sprees or all-you-can-eat dessert buffets.

And the relationships:

Tyson and Hilary are THE couple, everyone’s always rooting for them and looking up to them. So much so that if they ever have a serious fight then the whole group ends up not hanging out until they’ve solved their issues.

Kai and Charlie have a brief period in their relationship where they mutually decide to take a break from each other. This is very tough on Yamato because although the news that Charlie is his sister is still new to him, he feels torn between having to chose between a family member and a close friend and it low-key reminds him of his parents’ divorce.

Charlie is very protective of Mimi, so when Mimi and Yamato start dating, she’s always reminding him and taunting him to be careful about not making Mimi cry if he doesn’t want to get beaten up by her.

Taichi and Sora are always in the ‘will they’ or ‘won’t they’ phase and it drives Hilary crazy, she always tries her best to set them up, even though it annoys Tyson that she’s interfering in Taichi’s life and the two fight because of this quiet often.

Ash and Misty are very content with the label of best friends and don’t define their relationship as anything more until they’re in their late 20s. They also like to keep bets between themselves when one of the other couple is fighting about who will apologise first, and Misty almost always wins.

Why did I post this for the “challenge” prompt? Well simply because it was a HUGE pain I mean challenge to make that edit, all the many attempts at finding the right poses and reference and the redrawing exhausted me. And also because I never talk about my OC, who was created for Beyblade purposes but then ended up having such a good tie in with Digimon, she’s literally the embodiment of crossover+challenge. I don’t know if the edit did a good job of portraying her, but just try and imagine a platinum blonde Takagi san with greenish eyes.

[finitefantasy]

someone i follow is indirecting you about calling this episode of buddy daddies filler, saying you just sound like a mad gay person about a straight plotline

truly do not want buddy daddies drama of all things but that really was just a joke post that wasn't... that serious?

i'm not ~upset about him being with women (as a bisexual i can recognize bisexuality is real and always viewed him as a fellow bisexual). i just think in general this backstory does... very little for his character? or rather what it does for his character isn't worth fridging a woman over.

it's a very tired and tried trope and speeedrunning it in a single episode after teasing it multiple times kind of demonstrates... how little value it truly adds to his story and his arc. if you're going to make him a 28 year old widower with a dead child, you have to rEALLY commit to that plot. i enjoyed the mystery of figuring out who the money was going to (was it her family? was she in a coma and this was for medical expenses? did the child survive? etc) and i enjoyed the angst potential but ultimately... this was heavily underexplored.

and ended up just feeling kinda generic. and rote.

using about... 5-10 minutes of a 13 episode season to have him be confronted about his past AND overcome it is not satisfying storytelling. for him to avoid karin for FIVE YEARS and have her just go "my sister would want you to be happy" in ~1 day and suddenly he's like... okay with the guilt of moving on... is... not... compelling? especially when so little of the guilt was explored.

especially when the guilt was only really explored via the money he left for karin (which is something that had AMPLE room for relevance, like when they couldn't get work and were going broke, he should've been stressed about payments) and... in tandem when he was experiencing generalized caretaker burn out, where you're then meant to understand that "actually, it's not so bad, he was just feeling guilty for moving on and projecting that guilt onto rei being a fail-husband and miri acting like a kid." like... that was really it. they needed to intersperse that guilt more heavily into the text.

if you can do an episode where you jump from playground to DOG SHOT THROUGH HEAD to playground, you can mix in more 'my wife is dead, my child is dead, and here i am playing house with my bestie and this child's whose dad i killed' a bit more.

this felt... cheap. the fact that he 'killed' his wife by her... randomly being next to a truck that exploded was cheap. and just soooo overdone in general.

and when it's that cheap, the value really just boils down to 'forced sad heterosexual backstory' and 'we haven't reminded you that kazuki sleeps with women/hangs with FEMALE sex workers to cope' in a while.

which isn't all bad. like there was PLENTY of room to play around with that and give kazuki more layers as a character and more edge.

but... it didn't work here for me. and i say this as someone who thinks ultimately this show does FAIRLY amazing character work, handle subtleties INFINITELY better than expected, and has handling the gay implications of its plot incredibly.

it's just... all of the leg work of this episode could have been done by exploring him being abandoned by his parents and an orphan. tie in complicated feelings about adoption into how he adopted this girl. make it feel like he gave up on idk reconnecting with his bio family and how he doesnt' want to move on. let him have resentment and guilt. or maybe tie this into how he MURDERED MIRI'S FATHER and how it feels wrong raising her.

there's sooo much room for like Angsty Exploration of Kazuki's Feelings and it felt like this is the most gneric path they could've taken. i have seen sooo many women fridged and this exact storyline play out so many times.

if you're gonna do it again, do it better than this.

i also feel weird about this entire plot happening with like... zero rei relevanec? and this isn't even a ship thing. it's just like... if you guys are dads together, matter to each other, it's... weird that kazuki's entire hang up about his DEAD WIFE is something that... never matters in his friendship with rei?

this plot is SO fucking isolated from the rest of the story, it feels unnecessary.

kyu is the middle man and has like... very little involvement.

if you remove this storyline, the show is ultimately the same minus a few good heartfelt scenes.

(and, yes, karin's speech and his connection with her WERE good and heartfelt!)

i'm allowed to complain about weak this exploration was without being written off as someone who is just mad about straight shit in my gay show or whatever.

Headcanons

because waiting for S3 is not my style and so I just pour out all the brain rot so it could be everyone else problem.

Leon

• In the Future, Leon would be the first to actually leave home, not in the way of gotten an apartment of his own in the hidden city, but pack some travel bags and go to Canada or smthin.

• He would travel the whole world both Top Side and other Hidden Cities out there (you can’t convince me that there is only one Hidden city in earth).

• Donnie or Big Mama gave him a cloaking broach. (Because Donnie became rich in the future and Big Mama got a lot paying to do after the thing she pulled in S2)

• He both travel with his portal and regular vehicles, because he wanted that traveling experience everyone always talks about.

• Before leaving home Leon gifted some sort of sword, dagger, or a knife that is infused with his Mystic energy to his family, turning them into a way point for him to teleport to them whenever he wants.

• He also gifted his daggers to new friends he made in his travels.

• Raph would carry his daggers around all day, but always kept them in a safe and high place if he works in the Kinder Garden.

• Mikey decorate his dagger painting the handles with blue motifs, Leon asked him to decorate his personal Swords to after seeing it.

• Donnie kept his dagger in a room full of emergency necessity, like food, comfort stuff and medical stuff, wanting his twin to receive the basic necessity he might need as fast as he could.

• Splinter keep it in the living room where he spends most of his days in, wanting to greet his son first thing when arriving.

• Leon travels the world and learn everything and anything that he could have his hand got into. (Someone once commented about Leon being the Jack of All Trades and it wont leave me till this day)

• Leon carries around a camera after his first travel, his reasoning is “it’s a waste to not share the view”, he made a copy of the pictures he took and share some with his family.

• Mikey used his pictures as reference for his paintings sometimes.

• He also kept a journal around in his bag, currently he already filled 3 book.

• Leon met Usagi in Japan, the two got close because “Sword buddies” (and maybe something more he’ll denied it), “I just find him neat” he says twirling the end of his mask like a fukin teen girl.

• Out all of the countries Leon visited he came back to Japan the most.

• Some of it because of Usagi, and the brothers would tease him about it whenever he came back home.

• Raph was warried about it cause Leon is still his baby brother no mater what but support Leon’s interest toward the bunny Yokai (even if Leon himself denies it).

• Mikey would be Leons go to whenever he want to rant out about Usagi and how “cool and funny and how much of a dork he is Mikey-“

• Donnie, on brand. Would track down the guy and would do background checks, if he could hack every security camera n New York with ease than he could do some spying about his twin’s eye candy.

• Splinter is happy for his son but would always tell him to be careful (look he dated a Yokai before and it didn’t end well for him, and he be damned if he would let Leon have the same fate as him)

• but actually, most of the reason why he visited Japan so much is because he found the Hamato family burial ground, and so he decides to visited them as often as he can to pay respect.

• he just found his dad’s name in one of the Graves and wonder if he would want to be buried in the same place with the rest of the Hamato’s

• Look the guy just disappears one day and never resurface for years, I think at least his manager or someone he was close to would give him some proper grave for him.

• ( I wanted Angst about Lou Jitsu, the man is a superstar there is no way everyone just brush off his disappearance, some guy made an un-solved episode about him for their YT channel)

• Leon always came home every week and bring in Gifts.

• He learns so many new languages now, and like a true multilingual that he is he would sometimes forget a word and just says them in another language entirely and mix different language in a middle of conversation.

• If his green skin can be sunburned, my guy would come home from the Philippine looking like a toasted avocado.

• Brings home a Durian one time and the smell didn’t go away for 3 days.

• Brings Mikey to some scenery so he could paint them.

• He became the tour guide for the Children in Raph’s Kinder Garden in a field trip.

• Teach Donnie some of the languages he learned cause Donnie want to talk shit about some irritating businessmen Yokai he had to work with witout them knowing.

I have more but This is getting long wtf, how manny brain rot do I have?? Someone hep me.

1851

Who will you be spending Christmas with this year? I've always spent it at home with my immediate family, and I'm like 101% sure that'll remain to be the case this year. Especially now that my dad's contracts allow him to be home for Christmas – something that we didn't get to have for over 20 years.

What time do you usually go to sleep at night? Anywhere between 1-3 AM because revenge bedtime procrastination is still very real for me.

Did you go to high school with your current best friend? I did. I went through the entirety of grade school, high school, and college with her. Same schools for 15 straight years.

Have you ever wanted to be vegetarian or vegan? I had considered becoming vegan, but it's just really not a sustainable and accessible practice where I'm from unless you're rich and live in a more expensive place that can cater to such a lifestyle.

Do you park your car in a garage, carport or just in a driveway? We have a carport.

Have you ever been a passenger in a semi-trailer truck? Uhhh as far as I can remember, nope.

Have you felt sick today? Kinda. The elevators at my client's headquarters move SO fast they fucking suck lmao.

Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? No. The only Hunger Games anything I've consumed was the first movie.

How many times a week do you wash your hair? Everyday.

Do you need to wash your hair right now? Nope, I'll be doing that tomorrow morning.

Do you avoid using public restrooms? As much as I can, but if I really need to go then I just go to one.

What is your boss’ (or school prinicpal’s) name? Valerie.

Have you seen any extended relatives in the last month? My cousin came over at the start of the month just to hang and play video games with my sister.

Do you like eggnog? I've never had it but it sounds so delicious!!! I'd love to try it at least once.

Is there anything important you need to do today? Not anymore, it's 10:40 PM and I've called it a day.

Who is the person you dislike the most? I don't hold that feeling for one particular person.

Girls, how old were you when you first got your period? I was only a couple of weeks into being 10.

Do you take part in paying the bills for your household? My parents insist that I don't, so I don't; but I still give them a portion of my pay every two weeks.

Have you ever properly listened to classical music? Did you like it? Idk what you mean by 'properly' lol but yeah I do sometimes! It's great when I'm in the mood for it.

Do your parents know how to text? Yes, I mean they were part of the generation of when cellphones boomed so they definitely know how to.

Do you text your parents often? Sure, we have a family group chat so communication is alllllways happening over there.

What letter does your middle name begin with? My maiden surname starts with an A.

Do your initials spell an actual word? Nope.

What will you do when this survey is over? I'd like to take another one.

Do you know anyone with celiac disease? I don't think so.

How many siblings do you have? Are they all full siblings? Two, and yes.

What’s the weather like today? Hot enough that an airport parking lot caught fire and toasted like 19 cars lol. Suffice it to say Filipinos have NOT been doing well.

Have you ever eaten a cinnamon donut? I'm pretty sure I have, but they're not all that common here now that I think about it.

What is the longest relationship you’ve ever been in? It was an on-off that lasted around 6 years total, iirc.

How many times a day do you brush your teeth? Twice.

How do you usually celebrate New Years? With extended family, at home. We have NYE mass in the evening, then have media noche while waiting til midnight. We never go out for vacations because 1) the dogs, 2) fireworks are crazy so we wanna make sure we're at home just so nothing gets set on fire.

Is the place that you’re in right now quiet or loud? What can you hear? It's quiet, and I can only hear the whirring of my aircon.

Do you currently have any alarms set? Nope. I usually do that just before falling asleep.

How many cars can fit in your driveway? I want to say around four.

Do you like whiskey? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate it.

When was the last time you ate, and what did you have? Around 6 PM. I had the sisig that my mom prepared for me.

Dear Namjoon | 08

✧ Pairing: Min Yoongi x reader ✧ warning(s): explicit language, suggestive content, mature content ✧ genre: angst,fluff,smut,slow burn ✧ synopsis; You're sent to live with your father and older brother. only that your older brother is in a band called BTS. you meet jimin's friends and automatically get tangled with one of his band members. you're relationship has to be kept a secret but for how long can you keep it that way?

prev | index | next

namjoon was busy all week so we didn't meet much, and once the weekend came my dad said he wanted to hang out so I couldn't sneak out to his place.

"just hang out with dad today and i'll let you go with your mystery boyfriend tomorrow. no questions" jimin tosses your keys on the bed. your sitting on your chair, crossed arms. looking at him

"did he tell you where we were going?" jimin shakes his head "nope he didn't tell me anything"

letting out a sigh you get up and grab your keys "ok then, but you better keep your work and not bother me tomorrow" you point at him with an intense stare

"yeah yeah i'll let you go have time with your boyfriend" he rolls his eyes. as he walks towards the door "but behave yourself" he shuts the door behind him

taking out your phone you text namjoon, telling him if you could come over tomorrow.

- later that same day-

after getting ready, with decent attire. not wanting to make your dad have a fit. you head downstairs.

"you ready?" your dad asks as he putting on his coat

"yes" he nods "i'll heat up the car" he smiles and walks out

"thank you for dressing up normally would"

"oh shut up" jimin just chuckles at your words

"what are you planning to do while we're gone?" you ask him

"oh the guys and me are heading to namjoon's place. we're just gonna hang out"

as you zip up your boots you stop at the mention of namjoon. "lucky"

"you think so?" he laughs "well it's better than being with dad" you shrug

"yeah what ever" he sits on the sofa "try and have fun" you both hear honking outside, a sign that he was ready to go.

"well here goes nothing" you walk out the door

"you got this dad" jimin murmurs

-----

JIMIN POV

once I arrived at namjoon's place everyone was already there, like always we sat in his living room and played against each other.

the only person who wasn't playing was taehyung and namjoon. since taehyung asked him for help on his homework cause he was behind.

jin yells as Mario falls into the pool of lava taking his last life. "my turn" jungkook yells as he takes the control from jin

i was watching them play when a phone that was tugged in the side of the sofa vibrated. i looked at it, i couldn't tell who's it was

taking the phone out from the side of the arm rest it lights up.

1 new message from Juicy thighs

cringing at the nickname "aye who's juicy thighs" i annouce loudly. jungkook pauses the game and everyone looks my why

"what? taehyung asks

"juicy thighs, someone left their phone here" i shrug

namjoon the grins "that's mine" and all the guys looked at him

"damn namjoon juicy thighs, really?" yoongi scrunches his nose as he says the name

namjoon gets up and walks towards me, taking the phone from my hand. he smiles as he looks at the message "well you'd have to see them in order to understand" he smirks, taking his seat by taehyung again

"gross bro is it the same girl you were with at school" now it was me cringing at his behavior

"yeah it is" namjoon's huge as ego was very visible right now.

"now who is it? and how long is it gonna last" jin's brow raises as he asks namjoon

for the first time ever, namjoon just smiles "i'm actually not gonna tell you guys who it is"

"that's a first" yoongi says nonchalantly "leave the guy alone, and start playing before i take the control" yoongi tells jungkook

looking back at the screen, i remembered something. y/n had someone with a nickname too...

"hobi, is it normal for people to have nicknames like that. even for just fuck buddies"

"especially for fuck buddies" he grins

-----

Y/n POV

we got to a restaurant, it was a nice fancy one. we follow the lady who greeted us as to the table. he pulls out the chair for me and i sit down.

"how's school" he asks as he sits down

"it's good" i smile, taking the menu that was handed to me

"do you feel comfortable in your room?" he asks, as he reads the menu. you glance at him before answering "yes, thank you for fixing everything for me"

he smiles "you're welcome"

after we order, it was silent for a little while

"y/n i'm sorry" he rubs the nape of his neck

"i should've been there for you more when you were younger"

"dad, it's in the past. let's just move on from it"

"can you do that?" his voice gives a hint of sarcasm

"hmm i guess not, but i thought that would make you feel better"

"i wanted to reach out when you stopped answering my letters"

"cause i saw the change of handwriting, it wasn't you but your assistant who was writing them. aren't i right?" i cross my arms and lean back

"i got busy and it wa-"

"right" he sighs and looks at the side "i never stopped loving your mother, at some point we were gonna get back together but then i thought you would feel weird"

"don't blame your failed relationship on me"

"what? i wasn't doing that" he says fast "it wasn't even a failed relationship more like meeting the ri-"

"right person at the wrong time, yeah i know. look dad, i'm not interested in the relationship between you and mom. honestly i just wished you'd let me breathe"

i know my parents still love each other, both of them never remarried and my mom never dated again. they were more focused on their careers than anything else. they would fight for that reason, but separating made them closer than when they were together.

"i didn't know being near me was so suffocating" his eyes gleamed with sadness

"you bringing up the past over and over is suffocating, ever since i moved in with you. it's been great, i like it the whole having a dad and all, but i just wish you'd let it go" i sighed, as i massaged my temple

"you like it?" i nod at his words

"that's good then"

the waitress brings food to the able and walks away

"i just wanted to know about everything i missed" he cuts the meat on his plate and switches it with mine, since we ordered the same thing.

"that's what photo albums are for" he looks at me with a sad smile "yeah i guess thats right"

"you didn't miss much dad, everything i remember is with jimin and all the times i saw you. yeah there are memories with mom or some random thing i did in life. but i don't remember the rest" i just shrug, he nods. "let's eat"

the rest of the dinner was quiet

we went home after that.

------

- Next day-

Namjoon answered me late last night saying I could come over around the afternoon if i wanted to.

so in the morning i watched a show with jimin and dad. we ate breakfast together and just heard jimin talk about how they got a lot of offers but that a company called Big hit is catching their attention.

once it hit around eleven i excused myself, as i went to shower and get ready.

i'm not a huge fan of make up, so i just do my eyebrows and eyes at times.

i open the bag i had been hiding in my closet, and i take out the red lace lingerie. i end up wearing a spaghetti strap dress with a grey long sleeve shirt underneath, i made sure i picked a dress that reached my knees. to not have my dad giving me looks that screamed "you're going out like that". with some finish touches i head down stairs. i had told my dad in the morning i'd be going out

"i'm gonna hang out with some friends" both of them turn to look at you

"alright, don't stay out too late" jimin says, but he's glaring at you as he speaks

you dad looks at jimin and then you "or just call if your staying out" you nod and give them both a hug.

once you got to namjoon's place, he had texted you the front door would be unlocked. letting yourself in you take off your shoes as you look around but see no sign of namjoon. you make sure to lock the door before looking for him

you walk to the living room and kitchen but see him no where. you make your way to the staircase, heading up stairs but you kept stopping as you looked at all the photos hanging along the wall. you kept looking at the photos of namjoon when he was small.

suddenly you hear music playing from his room, and begin to make your way there. the door was opened and you see him sitting on his desk. note book open as long as his computer with a small keyboard on the desk

he was writing things down as he played on the keyboard.

"hey" i lean on the door frame, waiting for him to turn to look at me

and he does, he looks at you with a very serious face. his glasses on his face and just like always your heart skipped a beat. he smiles at you and signals me to come closer. he doesn't talk at all.

I walk towards him and he pulls me to his lap, kissing me right away. i part my lips for him, as he french kisses me.

he finally moves back, but leans his forehead on mine "i really needed that" he lets out a sigh

"what's wrong?" his grip on my thigh loosens but he brushes his thumb over it.

"i'm just having a hard time writing today, but i gotta finish it by tonight "

"oh shit, is me being here gonna distract you? i can go home" I try to get up but he holds me down "no you being here is gonna help me not be so stressed" he kisses me again, he tilts my head back

"you help me recharge" he grins as he gives you small pecks on your lips making you giggle

"yeah?" you play with the top of his shirt "do you wanna do it in a faster method"

he chuckles "nope, not right now" he puts his arm under your legs as he gets up. he lays you on his bed "be a good girl and stay here until i figure out the chorus" he winks at you. he sits back on his chair, leaving you dumbfounded on the bed

"my tablet is there if you wanna watch something while you wait. but just use the headphones" he tosses them on the bed "try not to make so much noise" he smiles before turning back to his desk

"did you just treat me like a child" i laugh "but fine i'll be quiet"

grabbing the tablet i see a folder on the main screen that said BTS songs, so i grab the head phones. i put them on as i press on the folder and listen to the songs.

- 30 mins after arriving -

namjoon would occasionally look at me and tell me he was recharging by just looking at me and i would just laugh at him

"i like your music" i say out loud, after being quiet for a long time "we're you hearing all the music?" he doesn't turn to glance at me

"yeah, do you mind?" he shakes his head

"i was gonna show you anyways" i nod at his words and now i'm playing a cooking game he had on the tablet

- 1 hour after arriving-

the tablet was gonna die so i was looking for the charger, opening the drawer he took it out from i find the charger but i also find three boxes of condoms and my eyes widen

then again when we have sex he always does it more than once, my face completely red and hot at just thinking that about it.

you didn't wanna play with the tablet no more, now you wanted to play with him.

after putting the tablet to charge, i grab the box and open it. taking one out. closing the drawer i sit back on the bed "how much longer are you gonna work on the song"

"babe i'm not even close to done" he sighs, i can see how he was annoyed at his own writers block. so i'm gonna distract him.

taking off my underwear i leave it on the bed and walk up behind him, i wrap my arms down his neck with my chin resting on his head. i can feel how muscular his chest is under my hand, i had to hold myself back from pinching his nipple

time to be serious y/n i smile at myself. he doesn't react to your touch what so ever, as he's focus on writing.

"namjoon" i whisper to him

"yeah?" he answers dryly

"take a break" and he stays quiet ignoring you completely, and now you were getting frustrated. "namjoon" you whine his name and he just chuckles

"babe give me just three minutes" he says as he crosses out a line of what he wrote cursing under his breath

you look over at his clock and see its only 2pm.. he can take at least a small break i tell myself. I say this as to not feel guilty for bothering him instead of just staying on the bed like he said.

lifting his arm you sit on his lap again, like you did earlier. he looks up at you, putting down the pencil.

"what's wrong are you bored" he laughs

he holds your hips as you straddle him, "not really, i like spending time with you even if it's like this"

"yeah?" he says with a grin, and you nod

"then be a good girl and sit on the bed, i'm almost done. once i'm done with the chor-" i squirm on his lap and pout, making his eyes open wide "are you throwing a tantrum" he laughs

he stares at you and chuckles "if you're horny just say so" I feel my cheeks blush

"where did my innocent little y/n go" he pinches my cheek, i push his hand away "don't be like that" i say as i massage my cheek cause this bitch pinched it hard.

"babe if you wanna have sex just say it, what's there to be ashamed of. you already said your addicted to it" he winks, his hands leave your hips as they make their way under your dress, but stops mid way.

"look at you, your all ready huh" he smirks as he squeezes your ass with his hands. you just shrug with a smug, feeling confident 

"your still gonna have to wait" he smiles at you

"what?" i pout, my confidence leaving fast

"i need to finish this at least, so be a good girl and sit like this or wait on the bed" he gives my ass another squeeze

"but i'm so wet" i hide my face at the crook of his neck from embarrassment. you hear him snort as he tried to hold his laugh.

"what turned you on this bad" his hand moves in between our bodies as he presses his fingers on my folds, his fingers wet.

i whimper at how sensitive i feel "i opened your drawer and saw all the condoms"

"seeing condoms turn you on?" 

"no..i was just thinking why you had three boxes of them" he fingers rubbing against me

"what was your answer" he slips a finger in and i let out a moan, I can feel how hard he was getting underneath his joggers

"you like doing it more than once"

"good girl" he pulls out his finger making me whine, he brings it up to his mouth licking it

"well since your ready, i'm gonna teach your something new" my heart begins to race

"something new?" he nods

"let me just grab a co-" you take the condom out that you had been saving on your bra strap and he has a smug face

"don't stare at me like that" i wanna cover my face right now, from how he stars at me

"get up real quick" getting off of him he pulls his joggers and boxers down, letting his growing bulge spring up. "let me get the condom" he opens the foil and places it on the top of his harden cock "roll it down" he smirks

"what?"

"you gotta learn to put it on" i move my hands slowly to his, he grabs my hands and places it on his tip "do it" i feel myself getting more wet in between my thighs. i slid the condom down his length "like that?" i look at him

"there she is, my innocent little y/n" he grabs my hands making me  pumps  his length. "alright pick up your dress" gathering your dress you straddle him again, his bulge standing between the both of you.

his hands go on your hips, as he bundles the dress up, holding it "lower yourself on it"

i reach for his cock in one hand as i hover over it. i align it to my entrance. my other hand holding his shoulder tightly

i can hear my heart beating loudly in my ears "hurry up babe" you feel how he twitches under your touch.

spreading your legs a little more you begin to lower yourself on him, feeling his tip brushing against your entrance you groan

i was starting to feel embarrassed, he always took charge in everything. why is he making me do it.

his grip on your waist tightens  "faster" he says, pushing you down on him

"w-wait"

"i can't " he says

you sink into his length a little more, his head finally inside you making you spread your legs even more in order to take him in more. he lets out a grunt as your walls clench around him "fuck how are you still so tight" your wetness was enough to not let it be painful.

"does it hurt" he says slowly, concerned cause he didn't stretch you like he usually does

"no..it feels good" half of his length is already in you

he bites his bottom lip trying not to push you down himself, waiting for you to do it. he lets out a sigh of pleasure once your sitting down completely.

"good" he breathes out, grabbing your hands he wraps your arms around him, his sudden movement made your walls clench even more, you rest your head on his chest

"namjoon"

"i know i know" he chuckles

he scoots closer to the table, making his hips move and you moan out his name

"you know what people call this?" he says, as you hear him click his pen, you shake your head. 

"cockwarming"

"w-what"

"means you just sit there with my dick inside of you" he smirks

moving your head to face him he continues to smirk at you "i told you to wait, since you're so desperate for my dick, you can have it. but you're gonna have to wait for me to fuck you" he focuses on the paper and continues to write.

shocked at what he said you wait for him to say he was joking "wait you're serious"

he ignores me and continues to write. you can feel how your walls clench around him making him twitch inside you, you whisper is name as you try to stay still " namjoon please just touch me" my forehead leaning on his chest

he just chuckles and now you feel irritated "i swear namjoon" i whimper

i hear as he scratches something out again, he's completely focused on his writing

not wanting anymore of this torture i move my hips. he clenches his jaw, but continues to write

i did it again, but faster, making his tip poke me in a weird spot making me moan out his name. he lets go of the pen as he holds your hips "stop moving or i'm not gonna let you go home today" he says

you gulp at his angry tone and just nod

"shit.. i need to get you a sex toy or something" he chuckles

not being able to answer him you just lay your head on his chest, trying to calm down

about a minute passes before he slightly moves causing him to thrust into you. you whine once again "sorry babe, i didn't mean to move" i feel the smirk on his lips as he gives me a small kiss on my neck. and it sends chills down my spin

"namjoon i'm gonna get off" i hold onto his shoulders, but he thrusts upwards making you weak on your legs so you can't get up

"your not listening today" he says as he puts the pen down "i'm done" he grabs your ass as he gets up.  laying you on the bed he spreads your legs resting in the middle he grinds against you. "is this what you wanted huh" you nod quickly, tears streaming down your cheeks. he pulls his shirt over his head, tossing it on the floor. his face inches from mine 

"wait"

"what" he says, I could hear he was getting impatient. I reach up to his face, and take off his glasses. 

he leans down to kiss my jaw, tracing kisses down to my neck. he thrusts his hips into me roughly, my mouth agape. i dig my nails into his back.

namjoon thrusts his hard and thick length into you, despite your cries of telling him to go slower "isn't this what you wanted" he grunts and your walls clench around him. he pulls his shirt over his head, tossing it on the side of the bed. 

"your walls clenching around me isn't helping you" he grips your waist as his pace fastens.

he continues to roughly thrust into you, knocking the breath out of your lungs, your nails digging into his back makes him groan but he only felt pleasure from it.

he grabs the end of your dress, and shirt, taking it off your body to toss it somewhere else "shit did you dress up for me too" he smirks as he looks at your lingerie

you can't keep your eyes open anymore, at this point as you call out his name. as your walls tighten around him he knows your close, he lifts your hips even more as he fastens his pace. you feel the knot in your stomach. namjoon continues to pound into you, desperate to make himself feel more. he wants to fuck you raw.

"fuck, y/n" he groans, his brows pinch as he thinks of fucking your raw.

"did. did you just get b-bigger" i cover my face with my hand

"i can't fucking help it, your just so fucking good" and that was the end for me, the knot in my stomach releases, face burying into the crook of my neck he continues to thrusts into me

he continues to fuck you through your orgasm with deep thrusts as you hear him let out little breathes of frustration

"y/n lift your hips" and you do as he says, placing a pillow under you he grabs your waist as he thrusts into you sharper and deeper than earlier

you start to kiss him, moving your hips as you try to help him reach his orgasm.

namjoon growls as he finally comes inside the condom.

"y/n let me fuck you raw one day yea" his face buried in the crook of your neck

"raw?" you ask, catching your breathe

"no condom babe" he sits back, pulling out from you making you whine. his brows pinch as he pulls out.

"as long as you get on birth control we'll be fine" he says as he ties the condom disposing it at the bin

"how do i get that"

"i'll take you to a clinic, but i don't want you to feel pressured to have sex without a condom alright" he stares at me with a serious face

"we will only ever do what you want"

but the idea of feeling him without the condom excited you. you nod, he gives you kiss

"we can always just get the pill jimin gave you the other day along with the birth control" he opens his drawer taking out the opened box of condoms

"wait what are you"

"didn't you just say i like to do it more than once" he smirks, looking down to his cock, you look down and see he's fully erected

"wait no i'm sore"

"nope, i'm gonna tire you out so you let me finish the song" rolling on the condom down his length he grabs your leg pulling you closer to him "now spread your legs for me babe"

let's just say, he finished the damn song and i ended up staying over.

[drippingviolets3]

Sooooo, a lot has been happening with me recently and since I might be sick (and desperately need my medication adjusted-) I’m going to do a part two to that one thing where I rated danganronpa characters based on how they would comfort me after that one instance where I got bullied for being 💅

Hajime: 6/10: His free time events low key make me want to strangle him sometimes for his attitude, and I’m STILL traumatized by that one nut scene, but he’d still do more then the bare minimum despite being awkward about it.

Chiaki: 6/10: I know she would never say this, but for some reason she’s giving me Zuko’s “Thats rough buddy” response from ATLA 😭. I don’t think I would be able to tell if she’s actually listening or caring, so I’d be discouraged, but Chiaki would definitely try to find some way to distract me.

Nagito: -10/10: Mf would deadass look me in the eye and tell me it was a necessary stepping stone to achieve the brightest hope or some shit he can gtfo.

Twogami: 8/10: For the sake of staying in character he would pat me on the back with a broom, but would definitely have some words of wisdom to share with me, maybe share his food, idk.

Teruteru: 7/10: Here me out, since Teru is canonically bisexual, coming from one queer to another, he’d know when to drop the pervert shit and actually help. His advice would be shit but hey at least he’d make me something to eat.

Mahiru: 3/10: I can’t stand this bitch I gotta be real with y’all 💀. While she would agree that it was bad and such, she’d still get onto me for how I reacted and tell me to stop crying. We know she doesn’t really do anything to stop bullying so she’ll just do slightly below the bare minimum and dip.

Peko: 12/10: MY. WIFE. Okay I might be biased but I do think she’d just slowly draw her sword out to kill the mfs but would retract it the moment someone said “Peko, no.” Would she know how to comfort me? Probably not. But will she make sure that karma is delivered and that it hurts like a bitch? 100% yes.

Ibuki: 5/10: I think she’d also canonically queer, but she’s obnoxious and is weird in a way that kinda feels forced to me tbh? Idk how else to describe it, but I do know that while she would do her best to help, she’s not the person I want to be around in that kind of mess.

Hiyoko: 4/10: It depends on if we’re friends or not. If we were she’d probably tear the bullies a new one before promptly getting curb stomped, or she’d just make fun of me and tell me to get over it 💀.

Mikan: 2/10: She’ll want to help but would probably make it worse by tripping, crying, and apologizing.

Nekomaru: 9/10: He’d be such a dad about it, give the bullies a firm talking to and maybe yell at them if they catch an attitude. Overall he’d be bodyguarding me around that bitch 24/7

Gundham: 7/10: He’d give me a hamster to hold and would go off on one of his tangents about being a demon lord and how he’s make them burn in hellfire and shower the underworld in brimstone, but I won’t be paying attention because I’m holding a hamster and that makes life better 💞

Akane: 5/10: Similar to “Peko, no” but instead it’s like swiper the fox where you gotta scream “AKANE NO!” Three times in a row to prevent her from going on a rampage.

Sonia: 6/10: The sweetest and gentlest thing omllll 💞💞💞. She’d make sure I’m in a safe mental space so I won’t hurt myself and brings me pillows and blankets and such. But if she gets really pissed, home girl will deadass threaten the group to leave me alone. If they catch an attitude they’re gonna have to throw hands with her whole fucking country (and it is mentioned that everyone in her country learn how to work army machinery in elementary school so 💀)

Kazuichi: 5/10: I don’t know if he knows what a bisexual is 😭. He’d try to support me but his confusion would be so evident that it somehow makes me laugh enough to where I’m less sad.

Fuyuhiko: 20/10: This man has access to an entire fucking yakuza and you think that bitch will get out unscathed? He isn’t good with words, but actions speak louder than words so he gets straight to work. By the next day that bitch would be in the hospital and get PTSD by looking at babies, knowing it was a baby gangster who knocked her teeth out

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alicia: Something’s off.

Bobbie, sarcastically: Maybe you’ve finally developed emotions and feel bad for hurting people! Maybe THIS is your redemption arc!

Alicia: No, but that’s funny.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mom: Did you wash the dishes?

Dad: I thought you wanted to do that...

Mom: *chuckles* You were WRONG.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teacher: Sit up straight.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flick: Sometimes I worry about Juniper.

Flick: I mean, how damaged does the girl have to be, to be into someone as annoying as Jake?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan: If I came home with four ducks would you be mad?

Charles: What's in your bag?

Nathan: I think you know what's in my bag.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*After the incident with the football*

Charles: You want to kill Sam? 

Jake hugging Juniper: Just briefly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alicia: Can you please be serious for five minutes?

Bobbie: My record is four, but I think I can do it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juniper: I'm always thinking about that one time I was on register for like four hours straight and I said over mic, "Someone please take over register I am about to become the Joker" and they came to relieve me faster than I've ever seen anyone relieve me before.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy: I really like these cool lights you installed.

Juniper: Actually those are police lights. Jake is getting pulled over again.

Jake: Don’t the police have anything better to do? Three people are getting mugged right over there!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kato: Just try

Wendy: I'll try, but I'm telling you I'll purposefully fail

Kato: How is that trying!?!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wendy: Without ugliness, there would be no beauty in this world. Thank you for your sacrifice, Sam.

Sam: Look here you tiny shit-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake: Come on, what’s the worst that could happen?

Buddy: We could die?

Jake: Please, like that’s ever stopped us before.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bobbie: Not all of your life decisions have to be smart. Some can be purely for cinematic value.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bobbie: What disease do beekeepers get? Hives.

Kato: Hives is a skin reaction due to excess antihistamines. Not a disease.

Bobbie:

Bobbie: Hives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan, hungover: please tell me I imagined claiming I was the king of all ducks.

Richard: Well I would, but then I would be lying to the King of all Ducks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juniper: What did you guys get in your yearbook?

Flick: 'Prettiest Smile'

Richard, beaming: 'Nicest Personality'

Jake: 'Most likely to start a bar fight'

Kato: 'Least likely to start a bar fight, but most likely to win one'. Damn straight.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charles: I mean, yeah, I get along with my father great! Last conversation we had didn't go so well, but that was years ago.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake: When we were little kids, Richard got bit by a house spider and he was crying so I went to get some stuff from Juniper’s mom to soothe and numb it, but before I could even walk out the door, I heard him quietly whisper, "I can’t handle the responsibility of being Spiderman."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam: Can you be quiet?! I'm trying to think.

Kato: Don't worry. Doing anything for the first time is difficult.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flick: Why are you apologising for liking me back?

Kato: Because I don’t want to ruin— wait a second. Pause and rewind, what did you just say?

Jesse Voltia-Swing and Cynthia Enoteca

So not too long ago, I was very excited to have received this commission from @crazycookiemaniac. It features Magna, Luck, and their daughter Jesse.

Now with this post I shall talk more in detail about Jesse as well as someone very dear to her, Cynthia.

..........

Jesse Voltia-Swing

Her name means "gift." Jesse is called "lil’ ember" by her fathers (despite her magic not being fire).

Age: 10

Birthday: November 30

Magic Attribute: Plasma.

Appearance: Mostly blond hair like Luck with streaks of black (got that two colored hair from Magna). As a child, it was a short bob cut and was often terribly cut because Luck or Magna did it. When she cuts it much shorter, Vanessa takes over so she looks much better. She's got blue eyes like both parents that are big and soft.

Personality: Very energetic, maybe too energetic for her own good. She always needs to be doing something as she gets bored easily. A determined girl too. She’s bubbly like Luck but underneath is a temper similar to Magna’s. It’s not often you’ll find her being quiet as she’s either shouting for joy or anger. Thankfully she can be quelled easily.

Jesse is in fact biologically related to both Magna and Luck! More on that later.

Jesse’s got surprisingly poor magic control compared to her parents. Thankfully she’s eager to learn!

Jesse’s closest friends are Naru, Alfred, Aimee, and Cynthia. She's training buddies with Naru and Alfred. Aimee helps her dispel her magic when it gets out of control. And Cynthia is the closest thing she has to a sister though she actually refers to Cynthia as "cousin." Jesse is friendly with Merel and Leoray as they all struggle with magic control and they all hype each other up. She loves Vanessa, even calling her “auntie,” and is close to people like Asta and Noelle too.

To distinguish her fathers, she calls Luck “Daddy/Dad” and Magna “Papa/Pops.”

Originally, she wanted to grow out her hair because of Vanessa and Cynthia but gave up on it because she hated all the brushing long hair involved.

When she turns 15, her magic control has greatly improved and she confidently joins the Crimson Lion Kings.

The scar on her cheek was a result of fighting Ferro Silva.

Cynthia Enoteca

The exact meaning of her name is Greek for "woman from Cynthus." However, Cynthia is also a former subgenus of the Vanessa genus of butterfly (it's no longer a valid taxon but I'm not here to give a lecture on taxonomy). Her mom and friends call her “Cynth.”

Age: 15

Birthday: March 3

Magic Attribute: Fabric. It’s an evolved form of Vanessa’s Thread Magic. She mostly uses her magic to alter her clothes. Eventually, she develops a spell called Fabric of Reality which lets her move between different universes.

Appearance: She mostly looks like her mom with her purple eyes and wavy hair. But the color of her hair isn’t simply pink. It’s a shiny rose gold hue, meaning her father’s golden blond hair had a bit of influence.

Personality: Charismatic and vivacious are the main words to describe Cynthia. She approaches life with great enthusiasm, knowing that’s what her parents want for her. Likely as a result of her magic attribute, Cynthia does her best to be creative. She’s curious too. As a result, she’s tried her hand at multiple arts/crafts such as sketching and wood carving but her favorite so far is leather working. She’s rarely seen not doing anything with her hands. Her playful spirit means it’s hardly ever dull with her. She teases her friends too but sometimes, she can get carried away which she does feel bad about when it’s pointed out.

Cynthia’s parents aren’t officially together. Vanessa and Selen both wanted kids but had no romantic partner. They’re friendly enough with each other that they agreed to have their child together (also doesn’t help that Vanessa finds Selen to be a hunk and Selen thinks well of Vanessa’s friendliness and thoughtful nature). They have joint custody of Cynthia.

Despite her odd family situation, Cynthia knows she’s loved and understands that her parents are happy with the way things are.

Cynthia's closest friends are Ann, Jesse, Fleuriana, and Elana. She's close with Saki through Ann. Soleil's inventiveness and Dawn's determination are inspirations to Cynthia. She's also close with her half-brother (from another reality) Ezio (@lyranova's oc).

She doesn't become a Magic Knight and instead plans to be art teacher. She does go on little adventures to keep the multi-verse stable though.

Were Cynthia to meet children from other universes, she would like some such as Josslyn (@crazyclownthanos' oc) and Hikari (@eme-eleff's oc). But she finds herself somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of her friends being "replaced" by other children.

.....

So the story behind Jesse's birth is as follows...

Magna and Luck got married and after lots of talking, they realized that they both wanted a kid. Magna had fun playing with their friends' kids but also felt fulfilled when he can help them out with life problems. Luck wanted more liveliness in the household and was admittedly a little jealous of his friends having their own families.

However, orphanages weren't willing to adopt out to men of their reputation and both felt weird if their kid was only one of theirs biologically. it was a real blow since they had both changed and learned to control their worst habits at that point.

Luck then remembered Vanessa mentioning that all witches are the Witch Queen's daughters, which meant the WQ knew how to make children without a man. This led them to breaking into the forest and asked the Witch Queen if she could help them get a child. And the Witch Queen... surprisingly agreed! She had one condition though: they had to bring her granddaughter Cynthia (who was 4-5 at the time) in for a visit because Vanessa had neglected to do so yet.

Magna and Luck managed to bring Cynthia without getting killed by Vanessa or Selen. When Cynthia was finally in front of the Witch Queen, she quietly said, "Hi Grandma." Moments after, Vanessa and Selen entered the room and explained the situation. Turns out Vanessa was going to bring Cynthia herself but was trying to explain her history to Cynthia first. Cynthia was scared of the Witch Queen but wanted to meet her still.

In the end, the Witch Queen got to meet Cynthia. The Witch Queen knew she wouldn't really be a part of her granddaughter's life but still wanted to see her once. She told Cynthia to be good to her parents but, if they act foolishly, to get them to stop. Just as Vanessa had defeated the Witch Queen years before. It was a weird but touching moment as it showed Vanessa that the Witch Queen had accepted how wrong she was and was letting go of the past.

With the request completed, the Witch Queen used her magic to take a sample of Magna and Luck's blood/DNA to bring a child into the world. Magna was excited to have a son but the Witch Queen explicitly told him that she refused to create a male child with her magic and thus the boys would have a daughter. Luck was unaffected, excited that he'd have a kid at all. Magna was mildly disappointed until Jesse was actually born and he changed his mind in an instant.

I love them too!! They're just *squishes their faces*

He's a phenomenal guitar player, and he loves to play whatever Flash wants to sing during little Shadow Company events or something.

Absolute Pepsi fan. Doesn't drink a lot of it, it's more of a guilty pleasure for him.

Doesn't mind a sweet here and there, but sticks to more hearty things like brownies when he does. Man loves himself a good brownie.

Can actually bake pretty decently, especially when he's doing outdoor stuff. Uses a dutch oven to make the most phenomenal apple cobblers anyone has ever eaten.

Appearance wise, he's pretty simplistic. Just a total cowboy that has an affinity for wearing Hawaiian shirts. It's not clear why he likes wearing those so much, but he does and he looks good in them so no one is willing to question. Not quite dark eyes, but still brown, and some messy black hair. Covered in barely visible freckles from all the summers he spent in the sun all day. Just a little bit of a beard, which is more like the Dad Scruff, ya know? He's got a slim Dad Bod. Dad Bod but like Sleek Mode. He's still a lot like his younger self, but just bulked since joining and having kids.

His kids! He's like the Best Dad! Always bringing them home little gifts and just being such a cool dad. Constantly bragging about his kids' achievements. Even though they're only 5 and 3, he's still bragging. "Look at this picture my boy drew!" *shows a very toddler-like rendition of a triceratops* "He's so talented!"

Yes he is absolutely aware that he's exaggerating and being a total DadTM but he doesn't care! That boy needs his father's support in life! And he definitely takes his daughter on Daddy-Daughter dates when he's home. Just spoils the hell out of her when he can, and does everything in his power to let her be a little girl. Sometimes that means dressing up and playing tea party.

Woody was definitely valedictorian in high school. He's incredibly smart, but he's never held it over/against others. For anything, he used to tutor other kids and was constantly being praised for being a really good teacher cause he helped others realize their intelligence isn't defined by tests and academic stuff, and that they're intelligent in other ways. (Truck would have loved for Woody to be in his life during school, but he would never tell the other that)

Doesn't have too bad of a childhood, definitely just kind of went through it and then decided he didn't know what to do with his adult life, leading to him joining. Has a good relationship with his parents and his older and younger brothers (one older, one younger). Has a lot of extended family and so things get crazy around the holidays and birthdays/other big family events.

A good ole Southern boy, if you will. Is an incredible sharp shooter, especially with handguns and smaller rifles not designed for sniping. This skill sometimes scares people that don't realize he grew up out in the middle of farm country Southern USA. Grew up on a cattle farm and he loves visiting his parents, especially with his kids. Sometimes, "his kids" also means an additional adult person (Ness, having like no childhood, loves when Woody takes him out to the Fallwood farm. He gets to experience all the fun things Woody did as a kid with his brothers, and it's a good healing experience for him. Besides, Woody's family is so Southern sometimes that he doesn't feel weird for not being able to form words correctly, cause half the time he just ends up sounding like Woody's uncle and that's good enough for everyone)

Likes to keep things lighthearted cause he knows how horrible life in the military can get and he doesn't want to lose any more Shadows, especially the young ones. He had an old buddy from basic that went through some really serious shit and ending up taking his own life. That fucked Woody up, so he's constantly doing check-ins with everyone, even though it's not his job. He's just so worried in his own way.

Will give the softest looks as he asks if you're okay, and you respond with something like "hanging in there". Always opens his arms for a hug, but will give what he refers to as the "Fist bump for morale". Because of all the worry he has for other Shadows, he's greying early and it's especially noticeable in his scruff. Has so many worry lines and smile lines. Just looks older than he actually is cause he wears his stress on his face/body.
