ok i'll bite. have you read any one piece fics, and are there any you would recommend?
you're so damn lucky One Piece is a fandom full of shit fanfictions because last time someone asked me a question like this, they ended with a 50+ fanfictions rec list.
Anyway, I'm gonna divide the list between gen/pairingless fics and fics with a romantic pairing.
NO PAIRING:
for all the love and gold (don't just do as you are told) by guiltylights
Nami asks Sanji to reduce the amount of money spent on grocery shopping.
Blood of the Covenant by kiite
Zeff never wanted a kid. A restaurant, sure— but he hadn’t planned for the kid. (Or: a brief look at Sanji’s childhood, through the eyes of the man who raised him.)
triskelion by razbliuto
Sink your fangs in, sister, and don't let go. — The Boa Sisters, still breathing despite all odds.
[this one is insanely good, literally made both me and my girlfriend cry]
UV by razbliuto (Viola/Doflamingo, Viola/Monet)
There's only a one letter difference between ultraviolet and ultraviolent. — Viola, and the art of unforgetting.
[while this one does have pairings, it's less a romantic story and more a deep dive into traumatic relationships in Viola's life. This is my absolute favourite OP fanfiction and it's heavy, be warned]
that certain calmness by grainjew
Because Sanji's rebellion has always been service, and there is nobody he would rather bow to than his captain.
you are not immune by pheenick
It starts with a rather gut-busting sneeze that’s concerning enough to bring all conversation juddering to a halt. Sanji blinks, absently patting his chest before furrowing his brow at a strange thickness congealing in his throat. Another sneeze. Fuck.
Customer Service in the Food Industry by Maldoror_Chant
They were starving. That was reason enough for Zeff to open the Baratie's doors and feed them, whoever the hell they were. Then he offered them a job, because the waiters and most of the other cooks had all jumped ship again and these guys looked kinda tough and not likely to scare easy. He didn't care if they were refugees of the World Government, he didn't care about their past, he didn't care what else they could do as long as the dishes were cleaned, the soup served, the vegetables chopped and Zeff's rules respected. Oh, and the pigeon had to stay out of the kitchen. That was a must. Give the Health Inspector the wiggins otherwise. Oddly enough, it did not turn out to be a complete and utter disaster. Strange things happen on the seas.
[CP9 post-Water 7 start working at the Baratie, the concept is so funny]
nothing to do (with you) by guiltylights
Judge thinks that Sanji is a failure of a son. Zeff doesn't think that much of Judge at all.
the mortality of kings by guiltylights
Zoro and Sanji, the right and left-hand men of the future Pirate King.
breathlessly, live (there's a place for us) by guiltylights (modern AU)
'You don’t have to prove anything, you know,’ Nami says finally. Sanji frowns, puzzled. ‘I’m not proving anything?’ ‘No Sanji, I think you are. It sometimes feels like you’re doing this more for your own sake than for mine.'
we slept on the ocean last night by Origamidragons
It starts like this: Luffy can’t sleep alone. (Pirates have nightmares, too. The Strawhats, as always, find a way through.)

PAIRINGS:
Burning Man by neonglaceon (Zoro/Sanji, multiple chapters, M rating for sex scenes)
“You’re lucky, Zoro,” she had spat, eyes turned up towards the sky, like she was trying to hold in tears. He'd never seen Kuina cry before. He’d never seen any expression on her face other than her teeth gritted in determination or her grinning in victory. “I want to be the greatest swordsman too. But girls grow up, and their bodies become weaker than men's. I’m never going to be the greatest.” Kuina tells him this, and Zoro can barely comprehend the words she’s saying. He thinks of the countless hours he’s spent training by the river bed, the green locks of his hair left on the floor after Koushirou helped him shear it all off, of the people he thought of as family a lifetime ago calling him by a name he despised. Zoro puts a hand to his chest, where he’d hastily wrapped bandages earlier that day, remembering how his body had begun changing and he didn’t understand why- “You’re lucky to have been born a man, Zoro,” Kuina finishes lamely. Zoro sees red.
[This is THE trans man Zoro fic and one of my favourite zosan fanfics, I suggest to pay attention to the trigger warnings before reading]
and then the sun came out by demonzoro (shrinewreck) (Zoro/Sanji, M rating for sex scenes)
Maybe there is something to be said that the first time they kiss, they kiss on a sinking ship. As if to say: this too, is inevitable. The waves are gnashing above the sea’s bottomless maw, and the timbers of the sinking galleon groan their own dirge – as far as this space of sea is concerned, the world is ending. Then there they are, balanced on the cusp of it, concerned only with how they exist relative to each other. There’s an awful devotion to it, and it shouldn’t be romantic. But Sanji is hopeless. He’s always wanted a love like this.
Be Hungry For Me byJacknessofHearts (Sanji/Usopp)
It takes more than years for Sanji and Usopp to confront their feelings. It also takes a lot of good food.
Don't Look Back byJacknessofHearts (Nami/Vivi)
Nami and Vivi and saying good-bye.
[This is the best namivivi break-up fic]
Like Ink Through Her Veins by grainjew (background Nami/Vivi)
Vivi manages, away from her crew. Usually, managing means ruling a country, reading the newspaper, and checking up on her father. Sometimes, though, it means sneaking out of the palace at midnight and getting drunk with passing pirates.
[while this isn't a pairing fic as much as it's a Vivi-focused story, the romantic pairing is important enough to the story to finish on this side of the list]
poison and wine by Origamidragons (Nami/Vinsmoke Reiju)
Nami isn't expecting to run into Vinsmoke Reiju plotting a murder at the same high-society party where she's planning a heist, but, well. Two birds, one stone.
You, Drowning Between My Arms by ginger_snappin (Sanji/Usopp, M rating )
Again and again, Sanji is forced to relive the day after he rejected Usopp.
[God I fucking love "stuck in a time loop" fanfictions, especially if they have characters as well written as this one]
salvage by hongmunmu (background Sanji/Usopp)
Franky offered Usopp a place in his family. Leaving Water 7 on the Thousand Sunny, Usopp considers who he is, why he left, and why he's there now.
[fic focuses more on Franky and Usopp's student/mentor relationship than romance, but as before, it falls more on the pairing fic side of the spectrum]
free and alone, together bysrididdledeedee (Alvida/Boa Hancock)
In which Alvida arrives on Amazon Lily, and everything changes.
Easy as Anything, Simple as That by Trixree (Sanji/Luffy)
“Luffy? What’s the matter?” “We’re gonna’ have a wedding,” he says incomprehensibly. Which—no. Absolutely not. Haven’t they had enough of weddings, lately? Nami's certainly had enough for a lifetime, thanks. “What are you talking about? What wedding?” she demands as coherently as she can while running on only two-and-a-half hours of sleep. “Mine and Sanji’s,” Luffy declares.
a glance that holds the world and all its seas by JacknessofHearts (Sanji/Usopp)
It's the big party after defeating Hody Jones. Usopp gets Sanji away from all the mermaids. (Honestly, Sanji, these nosebleeds are disgusting.)
Inevitable by LibbyLune (Zoro/Sanji, M rating for violence)
A closer call than usual makes Sanji give a precipitously timed confession, and waiting for Chopper to let him out of the infirmary makes waiting for a response much worse than he could have anticipated.
To Argue and to Cherish by modeoheim (Zoro/Sanji)
On a small island, on a lovely night full of music and fun and food, Zoro and Sanji accidentally get married. It is as ridiculous as it sounds—or at least it is at first, until Zoro finds being married to Blackleg Sanji isn't as bad as one might assume.
Variations On A Theme by rainsometimes (Franky/Nico Robin)
Four short interconnected pieces in which Franky does not save Robin from drowning. Although he’d like to.
stolen things by Origamidragons (Nami/Vivi)
A catalogue of things stolen by, for, and from Princess Vivi of Alabasta with regards to a certain thief, as documented by her long-suffering captain of the guard.
But Patience Boasts by Augment (background Zoro/Luffy)
Sanji and Zoro have very different love languages.
NSFW/Just Porn:
Little Things by KuriKuri (Zoro/Law, NSFW)
“Yeah, well,” Zoro says, “I thought you’d say no.” “Why would I say no?” Law asks, the corners of his lips tugging down in a frown. “Because you’re a control freak,” Zoro snorts, looking away from the sake bottle to meet Law’s eyes instead. “I thought control freaks didn’t drink.”
eager baby, blue by torkz (Nico Robin/Jinbei, NSFW)
Jimbei is training, and Robin is not immune to huge, handsome men in blue.
go back to sleep by itsmylifekay (Zoro/Sanji, NSFW)
His skin tingles with an unfamiliar sensation and he shifts, mind becoming more alert as he takes in his surroundings and the strange, lingering warmth on his arm. If he concentrates hard enough, he can feel the fading shape of long fingers pressed into his skin. “Go back to sleep, stupid marimo,” he hears. Sanji is standing close by, pulling on the last of his clothes and straightening his tie. His voice is low in the softness of the early morning and Zoro grunts at the words.

Hii!! I was wondering if you could maybe do a JJ maybank x gf!reader where JJ introduces his girlfriend to his friends from work or something (not the pogues) and they act mean and teasing towards her since she is a bit shy and introvert. But JJ is sticking up for her.
Speak Up
Tumblr media
a/n: my first jj request! LETTTTTTTSSSSSSSGGGGOO!!11 ty ty for your request. just to let you know it was a bit difficult to make the other pogues look mean lol. but i hope i did you justice and i hope you enjoy!!
word count: 1.1k
summary: it's time for you to meet JJ's friends. but your quiet nature seems to be the only thing they can talk about.
warnings: a little bullying/teasing, slight suggestive comment from kiara, if i missed any let me know!!
obx - masterlist m.masterlist
"I'm sweating."
"It is 85 degrees out."
"Oh my god my fingernails. I didn't even realize I practically took them off."
"I think there's a nail polish to make them taste like ass so you don't bite them." 
"And my hands are literally shaking, J."
"Then just stop shaking them." 
"Quite it," you whined, hitting his arm softly. "You know meeting new people makes me nervous." 
"It's gonna be fine, Y/n. I told them you were coming. You know what to expect. They know what to expect. Everyone's excited to meet you," JJ attempted to comfort. You scoffed.
"Oh yeah, I'm so sure they're looking forward to meeting the 'pogue wannabee,'" you muttered, kicking a rock that was sitting helplessly on the sidewalk. JJ stopped in his place. His hand pulled you back to him when you continued walking. You grumbled but did as he asked, standing toe to toe with him. He tapped your chin with a finger gently. 
"Hey, look at me." You bit your lip, lightly. Peering at him through your lashes. "If they have a problem with you, which I highly doubt, then I'll tell 'em to cut their shit out. It's not like I'm going to let them use you like a verbal punching bag or anything. You don't have to worry your pretty little head about a thing. Everything's gonna be fine by the end of this." You give him a weak smile. 
"M'kay." He returned your smile. Giving you a quick kiss to your cheek and continuing on his way. Snagging your hand back in his hand in the process. Pulling along, while you tried to conceal your girly giggles.
"You're a dork," he mumbled. "The Chateau is just on the right." 
The atmosphere was rather awkward. You sat on a couch, stiff as a board. The pogues were all exchanging glances with one another. The messages they shared you couldn’t decipher. 
Introductions went fairly smooth. You shook hands as they told you their names and stated they’ve heard a lot about you. However soon after you were seated JJ left the room to get some drinks. So now here you were, picking at your nails and biting your lip anxiously as you tried to work up the courage to say something. You opened your mouth to speak but the one you know now as John B, beat you to it.
“Have you always lived in the Outer Banks?” He questioned. You nodded.
“Um, yeah. My parents moved here a year before they had me.” Kiara furrowed her brows.
“How come we haven’t seen you around before?” She asked. You bit harder on your lip.
“I don’t know. I don’t go out much but we do go to the same school.”
“We do?”
“Yeah, we had Chemistry and English together.”
“No way, you’re joking.” Pope slapped his hand on the table causing you to flinch.
“That’s what it was! You would always sit in the back corner. Every class I swear I never heard a peep out of you.” Both Kie’s and John B’s brows pulled together once more in thought. Their eyes however lit up in recognition.
“No, no but there was that one presentation in English that you totally bombed. Nobody could hear a word you said. My god, the second hand embarrassment was real,” Kiara stated, chuckling. You twiddle your thumbs, laughing along nervously.
“Yeah, I was never good at public speaking. I’m working on it though J-”
“How did you even meet JJ in the first place?” John B asked.
“I was out shopping at a market and he was picking up some groceries. I was at the check out and he approached me.”
“You probably didn’t even say a word,” Pope jokes.
“Based on that presentation I’d say you had to use a megaphone to have him actually hear you,” Kiara added.
“Well he was pretty persistent. I saw him a couple times after that.” John B huffed out a laugh.
“I’m shocked he even approached you in the first place.”
“Well like you guys he didn’t recognize me at first,” you mumbled.
“Sorry, what was that? I don’t think JJ’s helped you enough. Look at you, your words are all jumbled again.”
“Yeah, better speak up, Y/n. JJ likes his girls vocal.” Pope spat out his drink at Kiaras remark as John B. covered his mouth to hide his own amusement. You shifted uncomfortably before deciding to stand.
“Come on,Y/n. What did we just talk about? Gotta speak up,” John B teased, smiling into his drink. You let out a nervous chuckle wishing you could just shrink into the cushions of the couch.
“I’m gonna go find JJ if that's okay.”
“Too late I found you first,” JJ spoke through the screen door. Your shoulders visibly relaxed at the sight of him. Nudging the door open with his hip while his hands were full. He passed around the drinks before pulling you down next to him on the couch once more. “You good?” JJ whispered in your ear as he placed an arm around your shoulders. You nodded at him, smiling slightly uneasily while settling into his side.
“Sorry,” you whispered.
“Dude, what did he just say?” Kiara laughed.
“Kie, cut it out,” JJ snapped. She threw her hands up in surrender.
“It’s just a joke,” Pope stated, propping his feet up. 
“Yeah one that obviously didn’t land, knock that shit off,” JJ scoffed.
“She’s a big girl. She can stand up for herself,” John B chuckled. The boy next to you rolled his eyes, squeezing your arm reassuringly.
“Yeah, like how you stood up to Mr. Gray's cat down on Bloomington last week? You sure showed that thing whose boss by jumping on top of that trash can.” It was Kiara’s turn to try and stop her drink from spouting out of her mouth. 
“Awww, was whittle John scarwed of da pussy cat,” Pope taunted, wiggling a finger in the said man’s face. 
“I thought we said that would only be kept between us,” John B. said, annoyed. JJ shrugged.
‘It would have been if you didn’t pick on my girl. I told you to cut the shit out. You should’ve.” John B. looked at you meekly, apologizing.
“No no I’m glad he didn't, it's nice to know Gray’s cat is his weakness,” Kie stated getting up to head inside. Walking past you she patted your arm gently. “ 'M sorry too, Y/n. Was just a little teasing. Had to scope you out you know?” She smiled at you before continuing her way.
“Yeah, can’t let just anyone date out precious JJ,” Pope said patting said man’s cheek. You chuckled quietly to yourself. Finally feeling the tension leave your body as the others started a conversation to ease the mood. You looked up at JJ. He caught your eye. Smirking and giving you a wink before kissing your temple and turning back to the boys. You smiled, leaning onto his shoulder.

My housemate is moving out in January
She told us this a week or two ago, when she sat down and, after sitting with us watching TV for over an hour, said "hey so I bought a house and I'm moving out. We agreed on 2 months notice so I won't move until the end of January."
The last time she talked in the immediate terms about buying a house was in 2021, when the sale she was working on fell though and she was unemployed so it was a "when I'm back in a position to look I'll start looking again." Since then I've occasionally asked her how she's doing on the house buying front and she's been like "oh I'm getting there financially" but hasn't mentioned anything concrete.
She didn't tell us she was looking at places. She didn't tell us she had put in an offer. She told us when the offer was finalised. A week AFTER she emailed the letting agent about getting out of her part of the lease. And, it increasingly feels like, only because the letting agent's response was that we had to agree to change the lease.
The letting agent's response (which our housemate obviously didn't copy us into; we had to follow up separately and they copied us into the email chain) also includes that when we change the lease, they're empowered to change the rent, quote, "no cap". Rent was already going up in January - there's no possibility of Sam and I paying her share of the rent.
The really fucking upsetting thing is we're not strangers. This isn't a casual "housemate we found on flatshare" thing. She and Sam have lived together literally their entire adult lives. Me and her have known each other well over a decade. I lived in her and Sam's flat when I was homeless. We were the first people she came out to as trans. We're not super close but I thought we were fucking friends. And she's literally gone out of her way to not talk to us about this for what must have been months while the sale completed - which means she's lied to my face at least once cause I've asked her about her finances in that time (cause she's in a job she hates that she only took to get the house money, so it's like. when we've been commiserating about work stuff I'm often asking 'are you almost free?'). she literally went out of her way to talk to the letting agents before talking to us about putting us in a situation where we could lose our fucking home.
And she keeps. trying. to pretend nothing's happened. Every time I've seen her since then she's not mentioned anything or apologised or anything, she just keeps chatting away and offering hugs and fistbumps like nothing's happened. Like we're still fucking friends.
All it would take for us to still be friends and to be happy for her would have been one fucking sentence in the groupchat like "hey, just put an offer in on a house" or "I'm looking at properties, just so you know, that might happen in the next few months". Like nobody begrudges her for buying a house! It's very cool for her! She's 31 she's worked really hard to get the money I would love to be happy for her! Unfortunately she decided avoiding conflict is more important than giving the people she fucking LIVES WITH (who btw fronted her a month on the rent here while she was unemployed and agreed to take on a larger proportion of the move-in cost back in 2021, if we're still holding ourselves to shit we said 2.5 years ago), so no, you are not entitled to our friendship or to going back to normal.
like if she'd been honest with us it would have been something to process but we'd have had time to figure out our next steps. instead she's left us in a position where we have to find a new roommate before she gives her one month notice, which means finding someone by the end of December, which oh look that's the middle of the fucking Christmas holidays. and she didn't tell us anything until the START of December, or copy us into her conversation with the letting agent, meaning we still don't know what the rent on that space will be so we aren't yet in a position to advertise it. Has she offered to help find a roommate? Has she fuck. Has she offered to help out by moving her move-out date? Nah, she's moving as soon as she gets the keys because, quote, "that means her finances won't have to change". SOUNDS LOVELY. NOT HAVING YOUR FINANCES SUDDENLY CHANGE. I THINK THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY REASONABLE FUCKING GOAL.
Thirteen fucking years she's lived with Sam. Four fucking weeks over Christmas she's left us to figure out a way to not turbofuck our living situation. And she's got the fucking nerve to try and pretend we should be interacting like nothing's changed. Jesus Christ. What a fucking unhinged way to treat...anybody, honestly. never mind the friends-your-entire-adult-life part. literally cannot imagine a scenario in which I would buy a house without telling the people I lived with.
(haha actually this is what my parents divorced over so apparently it's not unusual. although at least my dad had the decency to tell the woman he shared finances with at the point he put in an offer not the point the fucking sale went through.)
Like we'll be fine. It's a huge city centre flat with decent rent and queer housemates, hopefully even when the rent goes up it'll be an easy sell in a city with a huge housing shortage and big queer community. We've got a couple of people interested already, sight unseen - worst case scenario we have to live with someone we don't get on with. And it's given Sam and me a push to look at our own finances and as of today, we've got a mortgage decision in principle and can start looking at flats in the area - mind, we'll be transparent upfront and tell any prospective housemates that yeah, we're looking to buy and move out in the next 6-12 months, and we'll tell them if we put an offer in, because we're decent fucking people who aren't going to spring that on someone out of the blue.
But it's been I think 2 weeks and I'm so fucking angry I could spit. It's such a fucking betrayal. And frankly you know selfishly like. I just had a breakup a couple of months ago, I'm in the middle of moving jobs, both me and Sam have a history of housing instability and this has been the first decent, stable, safe, not-mouldy not-freezing home I think any of us have had, and this is so fucking triggering and upscuttling I could just start biting. like I was talking to my friend about it last week and it's just like. Can I have One Fucking Thing of the three main tentpoles of survival - home, work, relationships - that are fucking stable right now? because shit has been In Flux lately. and at least the work and relationship stuff has changed because of my decisions. going through all that work to make myself short-term unstable to gain long-term stability has been really hard and draining and then just as I was reaching the crisis point with work stuff BOOM, IT'S HOUSING INSTABILITY WITH A STEEL CHAIR. fuck. seriously fuck this and fuck her. we're going to make something good come of it but what a deeply, unbelievably shitty thing to do.
#red said#the other thing that bugs me about it is. ok and again this is old shit dredged back to 2021 when we moved in together#but i had my housemate. and Sam had her. and each of us were really close pairs who'd lived together a long time#and we tried looking for flats as a four but a) a flat with 4 good sized bedrooms in Edinburgh is hens teeth#and b) my housemate was pretty happy to live with me and Sam but increasingly felt like a 4 man flat was going to be a lot for him#and so in the end we talked about it. and through a combination of that and same housemate being in a pretty#unfavorable position housing wise. cause she was unemployed and had shit credit at that moment.#we agreed she'd move with us and Joe went and found a one bed#and in the end that's been really great for him tbh he's a lot happier and more confident and we were pretty sick of each other by then#and so we get on much better now#but at the time it was a real heartache i felt like I'd let Joe down i felt like our friendship was over#and honestly I have never been a huge fan of living with our current housemate. even before we lived here#like when i was staying with her and Sam too. she's incredibly messy and takes up a lot of space in conversations#I've always liked her as a person but she's exhausting and often unpleasant to share space with#and there's a bit of me that's like. we bent over backwards to accommodate you when you were precarious.#like it would have been WAY easier for us to look for a 2-bed during 2021. and if it was a 3-bed I'd have rather stayed with Joe.#but we moved with her for her sake. and she left Sam to clean up their old place (and there were Literal Rats)#and she got really pissy about driving the moving van even though a) that was her idea and b) she's the only person with a license#and c) i walked all MY shit over by hand anyway and the only reason she hired the van was to move her tv#me and Sam found all the core furniture. me and Sam sorted out all the viewings. me and Sam did all the planning.

here are some more miscellaneous post-ts headcanons but this time we're not going pro teams we're taking a walk on the side of your average working adult let's go!!
okay let's be real do we REALLY think lev is in charge of his own social media accounts bc i feel like that's a dumpster fire waiting to happen
i'm going to say yes because it's funny as hell
he tweets things like "lol i worked with [insert older veteran actor here] today i had no idea he was such an asshole" and gets frantic phone calls from the pr team like three seconds after posting
his instagram is also full of like. really blurry casual pics and just doesn't look professionally curated at all but the fans love him for it
i'm actually super curious as to whether he gets typecasted a lot and if so i'd love to know what it is
i want to say goofy comic relief side character?? so when he gets selected for a serious drama role nobody is expecting him to blow it out of the water but he does!!!!!!
also another thing lev does that gives his pr team a heart attack is when he posts anything vaguely related to his love life. which funnily enough are the only quality non-shitposts he does himself
like you've got the aesthetic silhouettes against a wall, the hands intertwined on a candlelit table, the vague tweets of "so lucky to wake up next to you. wish it would never end <3" and everyone's going WILD trying to figure out who it is
(and, well, nobody is going to notice shibayama yuuki liking the posts amidst all the other pro volleyball players who do, right?)
shirabu's got a rep in med school for having the worst fucking bedside manner of all time
well not really i think he's like. the kind where fellow/older colleagues and such judge him for it and they think that he could stand to be a LITTLE bit nicer but if he works with kids or whatever i bet the kids would actually really like him.
he's dry and straightforward and calm and takes them seriously and treats them like adults. the only thing he does to baby them is dumb down the medical jargon into an explanation they can actually understand
ugh shirabu actually makes me really soft for what an asshole he is
oh but if you're a bitch ass bastard for no reason he'll try to be as snarky as he can be without like. getting reported to hr or whatever
sorry i know this probably isn't how medical professionalism works irl once again i just think it'd be really funny
also can i just say that i think it's the funniest fucking thing that komi became an actor. like where the hell did THAT come from
i feel like he got thrust into doing a role for a class play during cultural festival season and got hooked on it probably? because literally when else would he have the time to get into/practice that kind of shit
that's probably a fun fact he drops during a magazine interview or something LMAAAAO
"yeah volleyball practice took up most of my time, and i never really thought about doing anything else. but then things changed in my third year of high school when i got cast for cinderella . . ."
speaking of fukurodani. yukie and kaori my beloveds
i skipped out on them during my managers post which i regret deeply and dearly so here they are!!
full disclaimer i don't know how sports promoters actually work i'm assuming they promote whatever sports games they are assigned instead of just sticking to one sport only? which means that whenever kaorie gets her hands on something that isn't volleyball she gets a dozen texts from bokuto moaning about betrayal and treason and all that
when kaori gets with someone she meets through work (so someone on a pro sports team) the rest of fukurodani are like "okay but he's a BASEBALL PLAYER" as if being a baseball player is the most atrocious thing a person could be
kaori's like "guys come ON i told him all of you were cool!" and everyone's like "now why in the world would you tell him that"
yukie has a decently popular cooking channel that is loved not for her yummy recipes or her aesthetic filming but because none of her kitchenware matches
she just collects whatever she likes + a bunch of shit that's been gifted to her and while it should make her kitchen look cluttered it's all just very cozy and lived-in
like. all her pots and pans are different colors and themes. no pair of chopsticks are the same. she has a ladle shaped like a dinosaur and a teapot glazed with magnolias on the side
her recipes DO slap tho she and osamu collab a lot
UGH i love them living nice fulfilling adult lives i wish that were me

¡! ❝ REDAMANCY .. ❞
╰┈➤ ❝ [00] i'm sorry? ❞ | m. list | next
sakasaki natsume x fem! reader smau
warning(s) : cussing, fake dating
w/c : 1k
Tumblr media
the school bell rang, signalling the end to your final class of the day. you stretched in your chair, hearing some of your bones crack, and started packing up your things.
"are we still on for movie night?"
your head snapped to the right where you saw mao gazing at you while packing the last of his things and your face lit up. humming, you stood up.
"mm, yeah, but i gotta go to the library first. go ahead without me. i'll see you at 5?"
"alright, have fun. see you at 5."
walking through the crowded halls you slowly made your way over to the library. you've been coming here to look for a specific book for the past 3 weeks yet it's never there when you look for it. in hopes of getting your hands on it this time, you came earlier than usual.
slamming the door open and frantically searching the bookshelves, you came up empty handed, once again. sighing in defeat and leaning back to stare at the ceiling, you figured you can just buy the book after all.
"i swear there has to be a secret room or some shit.."
"oh, there is one."
stumbling off the table you were leaning on and nearly giving yourself whiplash while turning around, you were startled to see someone else in the room. the door never opened - or at least, you never heard it open.
"my apologies for giving you a fright, kitten. how may i and my secret room be of service to you?"
"i'm sorry?"
the red haired boy chuckled, "you were questioning the existence of a secret room, were you not?"
"i was, yeah, but who the hell are you and when did you get in here?"
he was taken aback then, almost as if he was surprised you don't know him, then he chuckled once again - the sound becoming increasingly annoying, it's like he's making fun of you. "my bad, i didn't realize you do not know me. the name is sakasaki natsume, at your service," with a little bow for dramatic effect.
he could literally see the lightbulb above your head just then, "ohhh! you're the magician dude! the one leo told me about!"
"that.. would be me, yes.." the eye twitch was a clear sign he did not favor the name.
"anyway, magician guy with a secret room, i'm looking for a book. is it in your lair by any chance?"
"maybe. maybe not. come down and find out."
following a stranger into a shady secret room in an idol school may not be the best idea but hey, leo trusts the guy, and you really want that book, so, why not. after looking around for a while, you finally found it. you reached to grab it only to have it promptly snatched from under your fingertips.
"oi- magician dude! gimme my book!"
"i will, but i want something in exchange."
you crossed your arms, "no way am i doing anything for you. you're shady as hell."
"i led you to your book and granted you entrance to a secret room, mind you. it's just a little thing."
as much as you hate to admit, he did have a point. nobody forced him to help you, or to let you in here. so you sigh.
"god, fine. what do you want?"
"go out with me."
"absolutely not."
"what?!"
he was so genuinely surprised, it was sad. was this his first time asking someone out?
"you heard me, there's no way in hell i'll date a stranger. a shady one at that. give me my book or ask for something el-"
"wait, wait, no. i need you to go out with me. not actually, just fake date me for a while. there's, like, a gala thing i need to attend and my mother wanted to set me up with someone but i told her i had a girlfriend and now she wants to meet her. you're the first person who i saw, it must be fate. you were sent to me as an answer to my manifestation," he was shaking you by your shoulders now, "please - and i don't usually beg people - go out with me for a short while."
he seemed.. sincerely desperate. after telling him to stop shaking you - which he did, without hesitation - you stopped to think.
pros - a boyfriend, a pretty boyfriend, bragging rights, your book, access to a secret room, attend a gala = fancy clothes
cons - a stranger, meeting his mom, keeping up an act, attend a gala = fancy clothes + fancy people
the pros clearly outweighed the cons in your mind, so just as before, you sighed.
"can you prove this is true?"
the redhead, to your surprise, pulled up his messages with his mother and gladly showed them to you.
natsume was really desperate here. while he did want his mothers approval, he also wanted her to stop bothering him with getting a girlfriend. you seemed like a decent person, so this was a win-win situation. he'll get on his knees and beg if he has to. okay, maybe not that far, but you get the point.
"..alright, fine. i guess i'm your girlfriend now. how long does this act need to go on?"
natsume was overjoyed. he has a date! he doesn't need to hire anyone! and he has enough time to get comfortable enough with you to put on a decent act!
"until the gala and a bit after so it's not obvious it's fake, so i'd say about … 5 months?"
"that's a long damn time!"
"yeah, well, we need time to get comfortable. plus i didn't think i'd find someone this fast. it's going great so far."
"for you maybe… alright weirdo, i gotta get going now. i'll see you around then, it seems."
"yeah, see you around. and thank you."
you sent a 2 finger salute his way without turning around and promptly left the secret room and the school entirely, texting the group chat on your way.

I love how people only ever acknowledge Crowfeather hit his kid to then acknowledge that Nightcloud dragged his ass roughly once.
To give nuance to a complex subject; Nightcloud was in the wrong there, yes, her reaction was bad.
But overall, Crowfeather is the larger “evil” (not literal just, he is the problem). This is the man who lied to someone about not only his feelings but his past to basically get cat married to them and get them pregnant, only to ignore or begrudgingly interact with his family for his reputation. Abuse is wrong, but domestic violence is a complex subject and even victims can become or mirror abusive behaviors over time. I’m not saying Nightcloud is defenseless victim or some shit - in fact I enjoy she is a flawed victim, something you do not see in a lot of media (if only they didn’t vilify her sigh). What I am saying is that Nightcloud is still a victim, and so is breezepelt, just because both characters act out does not inherently negate what Crowfeather did to victimize his family. This doesn’t even negate the fact that Crowfeather himself can be hurt by their actions, but he is responsible for what has largely been his fault. Crowfeather lied, manipulated and neglected multiple cats to get where he was and oh boy - what’s that? The consequences of his actions catching up to him! Nobody deserves suffering - but, if all signs seem to point to hell why keep going down the same path? Crowfeather as a character is coddled by the writing so heavily that even those consequences are framed as the world being cruel to Crowfeather for no reason - while down the hall we have squirrelflight and leafpool who’s suffering is justified for breaking cat law, nevermind the fact they were told to by the otherworldly forces that control their fate. No, Nightcloud probably shouldn’t have dragged Crowfeather away like that, but he shouldn’t have ever entered a relationship with her for his own gain in the first place???
If anything people should talk more about how Nightcloud treated Leafpool, I love both characters, but Nightclouds actions towards her were less defendable - Leafpool never knew about Nightcloud until, well, until she saw them together and by then it was already over (even though Crowfeather had attempted right before that moment to rekindle the relationship which - w o w). It’s yet another bad trope of women who share the same ex or love interest being at odds, but the malice Nightcloud shows is in its own way real to how I observe her during that part of the series, i just wish that in some way the relationship issue would’ve been resolved better between them - or Nightcloud would acknowledge that she was in the wrong for lashing out at Leafpool and her kits when it wasn’t their faults.

Watching Oscar Isaac Movies: Triple Frontier
I wanted to watch a bunch of the movies Oscar Isaac is in because I love him and nobody is around to stop me. And I'm taking you all along for the ride. Lemme know if there's a movie with him you want me to watch
Oh my god Oscar speaking Spanish is--mmmm is it hot in here???
Ayyy it's Pedro Pascal! I don't know a lot about him but I know him and Oscar are friends haha
Holy shit this guy's house is literally made of money
Where are they getting all these duffel bags
GUYS YOU DO NOT NEED THIS MUCH MONEY HOW MUCH ARE YOU PLANNING TO SPEND
oh shit he ded
6000 POUNDS OF MONEY?
Guys just leave some of the money man idk how to tell you this but that is more than you're ever going to be able to spend in your lives
"she'll make it" SUBTLE foreshadowing there mhm
How does one fall asleep on the loudest vehicle in existence
IT'S ALMOST LIKE SOMEONE TOLD YOU THE HELICOPTER COULDN'T HANDLE THIS MUCH
Why didn't they just dump off more money.
WHY DID THEY TAKE SO MUCH MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THIS IS ALL JUST ONE COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE TRAIN WRECK AFTER ANOTHER
"hi sorry I know you're all very poor and would benefit greatly from money just dropping out of the sky but that Ours Actually, yeah we killed people for it"
This guy is fuckin insane, first he makes them take more money resulting in more people dying and now he just fuckin shot up these villagers. Yeah no I've lost any and all sympathy for this guy lol
"sorry we destroyed a bunch of your crops, shot up a few of your people, and took your mules, have half of one of the FIFTY FUCKING DUFFEL BAGS OF MONEY WE HAVE"
Again where the fuck did they get all those duffel bags
Be free, mules
Love the lack of like. Survival problems going on lol. Are they out of food? Who knows, never seen em eating onscreen. Water? Nah they're probably fine. One of these guys got shot like a day ago and he's just like. Fine. Altitude sickness? Never heard of her. Is it cold? Yeah but it's fine CUZ WE'RE JUST GONNA BURN MONEY NOW THAT'S FINE
Oh shit they're gettin shot at now
OOP HE DED HE IS. FULLY DEAD
Good on that kid for getting revenge. I feel zero sadness over this guy's death. Sucks for his kid but oh well
Oh are we just. Over the mountains now. You're telling me it only took them 5 days to climb up and over these mountains
"what if we went at night" "nah we'd never make it" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'D NEVER MAKE IT. JUST GET A CAR.
WHY ARE YOU THROWING AWAY THIS MONEY. GUYS JUST GET A CAR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRAG IT ALL THE WAY THERE JUST STEAL CARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
Oh NOW you find a car
Car chase car chase
5 million isn't bad, now if yall had just grabbed that much in the first place instead of 6000 FUCKIN POUNDS none of this would've happened
WHY ARE YOU GIVING IT ALL TO THE GUY WHO FUCKED EVERYTHING UP AND GOT HIMSELF KILLED IN THE FIRST PLACE
okay movie over and let me say #1 Pope did nothing wrong ever in his life. Everything that went wrong was Dead Guy's fault (I don't know any of their names except Santiago lol). #2 Yes I'm woobifying Pope slightly but literally the guy just wanted to make sure his friends would have enough money to get the life they wanted. Dead Guy just made everything worse at every turn. #3 no I am not taking criticism at this time
Anyway overall? Meh movie. Oscar was good, everyone else performed well too. Not a very satisfying plot or anything, didn't do anything new or interesting. Really wish we got to know more about Pope's backstory? I like his strong sense of justice, I wish I knew where it came from
Also wish I knew where all those FUCKIN DUFFEL BAGS CAME FROM

Something that really annoyed me about Simon is that like a year ago @/evysnosefreckle sent him some information that explains why mutual abuse doesn’t exist and he accepted that, but then said that we can’t say for certain who was at fault because “we don’t know” despite the heaping amount of evidence against Emma not only from the night she was arrested but from many other incidents as well. If he took a second to look into their relationship he would see that, if he actually took the blinders off. Then when Angelica Ross spoke out against Emma and he said “Ok now that there’s evidence that’s actually against Emma Roberts (someone’s accounts rather than just assumptions) fuck her,” someone replied to him and said we’ve been saying this to you. He said in response, “lord don’t jump on people when nobody came out about anything. all you have are photos and reports. When someone comes OUT ABOUT SOMETHING, then believe them, don’t slam them into the ground for shit neither of us know” and also “When nobody comes out to share their side and all we have are pictures and reports, then yeah, I’ll try my best to be neutral. But when people actually come out and Say shit? Believe them”
None of that makes any logical sense, pictures and reports (reports are people “coming out and saying something” so???) ARE evidence that can be used against someone. And there have been people coming out and saying stuff against Emma, specifically about her abusing Evan, for years! He would have known that if he actually looked into it and didn’t decide to just “stay neutral” for really no justifiable reason.
Another thing, that I’m remembering now as I’m writing this, is the way he talks about Evan’s intentions with Dahmer. Simon was saying that he doesn’t believe Evan actually cares because “he’s never talked about the victims.” Which makes me wonder if he listens to anything Evan says at all?? Evan has talked about them and the meaning of the show hundreds of times now. Evan was the one who told Ryan in the first place that the show can’t be anything close to the tone that AHS is, that it needs to be respectful. Not only did both Ryan and Evan say that, but also the casting director said that when he was talking to Evan about the role Evan was hesitant and had concerns about what I mentioned above. I’m assuming Simon has only watched like 2 interviews about Dahmer and hasn’t read a single interview with Evan where he really talks in depth about everything.
So yeah there’s my dissertation. It really gets on my nerves how Simon acts like he knows everything and he’s right and everyone else “just can’t accept any criticism” when in reality he actually knows nothing and just spouts out really misinformed and misconstrued information.
oh my god, thank you. you’re absolutely right and the way he acts like he has absolutely no proof, evidence or facts to draw any sort of conclusion is such an act. he literally only needed one person, angelica ross, to determine that emma roberts was a bad person. what if angelica was lying? you’re really basing your judgment of another person on a singular individual with a story? as several have already stated, the reason he stopped defending emma is because she said something transphobic and simon is trans himself. he does not give a single shit about her abusing evan and he purposely acted/acts obtuse about the situation to remain neutral and to continuously call evan’s character into question. this is despicable. he throws around his own victimhood as a shield which is also despicable. he needs to own up to his harmful behavior and apologize, if not to evan, to everyone else who has had to witness him perpetuating lies about him and about the dynamic of domestic violence. the falsehoods he’s spread about a VICTIM is not acceptable. he stated they both had “wounds” when there had NEVER been ANY such a report anywhere. the only wounded person was evan with a bloody nose and bite mark. he used this misleading and false language on purpose to legitimize his faulty rhetoric about evan being abusive. not to mention liking a post wishing literal harm on the man.

I’m just gonna go ahead and say sorry in advance the man lost his mind with the next ep but 3x04 1/2 ‘He would make great marketing for durex. Remember their covid ads? Funny as shit. Why is she here? Why can’t she take the kid with her to the hospital? I thought i gave Brian permission to hit this fucking kid? Yeah! Eat the chips you little bitch.‘ we got to Mel and Linds picking donors ‘FRESH SPERM?! LINDSAY HE IS 19- What are the-THEY CANT GO TO A SPERM BANK? THEYRE GONNA PICK BETWEEN THEIR FRIENDS?! Girl, what makes you think any of them want a kid at all or better yet with you? There is no way Brian would let that kid get into the ‘vette. JUSTIN! WHY ARE THEY CASUALLY SAYING HEY TO EACH OTHER? oh Justin hates this kid (Mel and Linds pick Mikey) MICHAEL?! THEY ARE PICKING MICHAEL?! MICHAEL?! MIKE? MIKEY?! Because he invited a kid to a comic book store? THAT IS LITERALLY HIS JOB! Thank god the diner doesn’t have more male waiters because she would think someone wants a kid just cause they told her the specials’ ‘WHAT IS WITH THEM MOVING IN SO FAST? I THOUGHT THAT WAS A YOU PEOPLE THING *waves at me*’. ‘Have you noticed that whenever Lindsay and Melly want something from someone they make them a meal? (mikey and Ben are taking a shower and he actually fake gagged) The only shower scenes I like are Brian and Justin’ ‘he’s going through Brian’s stuf- he has a lot of dildos, why am i acting surprised..HE STOLE HIS BRACELET! How dare you, you little shit! BRIAN HE HAS YOUR BRACELET! HE DOES NOT OWE ANY OF YOU ANYTHING ESPECIALLY NOT MONEY! I know I said hit him but this *points to the toilet scene* is WAY fucking better! Do Ethan next!’ He is once again using Shazam to make his playlist even better. ‘Usually when people start doing drugs, they become fun before they ruin their lives, this dude is just hitting the gym? Boring. Oh he’s angry and jealous of Michael isn’t he? Well that’s not healthy’ he is once again using Shazam, this is getting ridiculous. ‘OKAY BRIAN!! Oh damn, I don’t remember him being all 6 packy before. Why is a cop there?’ ‘Why is he surprised that he wont have full rights? Dude, you’re a DONOR! But don’t worry they never hold their word, they force the donors to step up one way or the other. Make sure you have life insurance. THATS WHY THERES SPERM BANKS MELANIE!’ And thee scene is coming up (my cousin thankfully reminded me to record him here bc she knew he’d lose his mind and thank fuck she did. Usually i record him for big moments but i almost forgot here) ‘HE ACCUSED HIM OF WHAT NOW?! *pauses tv* OH FUCK HIM AND FUCK WHOEVER MADE HIM! That is such a horrible and serious accusation to make cause some people, HA, some people..good one (his name), GIRLS! WOMEN! aren’t believed! And boys! Oh don’t even get me started and i know it’s ironic because im yelling at a boy BUT DIFFERENT! WE DONT EVEN GET TO COME FORWARD CAUSE WE SHOULD BE HAPPY WE GOT LAID! And if it was done by a man? Well then we are forced to be quiet because we get mocked since apparently gay is worse than rape. But Brian is gay, so of course he did that and nobody would think otherwise. Because gay means predator in their peanut shaped brain! Meanwhile PRIESTS exist! Or those weird family friends that you have to change outfits for when they come over but nobody calls that out. HOW FUCKING DARE THEY? You know what? FUCK EVERYTHING AND ESPECIALLY FUCK THAT KID! His family better know better, i have no faith in them but they owe him that! Nobody will believe this, he literally hates kids!‘ He then got up and went outside to smoke. I forgot that when the whole Florida gay ban bullshit happened, this man FLEW to florida to protest (we are nowhere near florida) so I should’ve seen this coming tbh. And when he came back inside he just went ‘I do wish they showed him being interrogated because I know for a fact my man was giving sarcasm and anger and funny insults!’ ‘Well look at that, it’s almost as if you shouldn’t move in together after like a week!’
Melanie and Lindsay’s insistence on using known sperm over donor sperm baffles me and must be because for TV reasons because it’s so bananas. LOLing at them making someone a meal… that is so true!
Ben not becoming more interesting with a drug problem IS A MOOD. And true.
His reaction to this storyline is everything. Factually, false accusations are incredibly rare and yes, it’s a double-whammy for boys. The other part of this storyline I hate? Is that Claire is right to believe her kid. So rarely do parents believe their kids and go to the police, when they should. I hate hate hate this storyline with a passion. I get why it happens (Justin still believing in Brian and doing whatever needs to be done to clear his name) but FFS CowLip why why why do you have to create a narrative around a false accusation?
YOUR BROTHER FLEW TO FL TO PROTEST? He gets all the fist-ally’s in the world! I love him.

Hello! Here’s a dose of songs that remind me of Warner I promised ages ago, if you liked it there are more songs if anyone is interested.
Btw this will have spoilers!
BOYFRIEND - Dove Cameron
Basically this whole song reminds me of when Adam and Juliette were together. I don’t think there is specially one line but there are quite a few. “I don't need to tell you twice, All the ways he can't suffice, If I could give you some advice I would leave with me tonight”. “I could be a better boyfriend than him, I could do the shit that he never did”
KILLER SHANGRI-LAH - Psychotic Beats
I heard this on an advert for a tv show and was like ‘oh…yes’. I don’t really think I need an explanation, the song is just pretty badass so I felt the whole vibe was right. “I had to kill you, I’m really sorry”. “But you know what…ain’t nobody gonna change me”
HUNGER - Alibi Music
Literally the same reason for the song above. “I see you watching me with those eyes, I feel them watching me all the time”. “You’ve got secrets and I’ve got mine, but how do we know when to draw the line?”
I DID SOMETHING BAD - Taylor Swift
I felt like this also just fit, it reminded me of when he killed Seamus Fletcher because he had no regrets to it. “They say I did something bad. Then why’s it feel so good?” “Most fun I ever had, and I’d do it over and over and over again if I could”.
THE 30TH - Billie Eilish
I cried when I heard this song it broke my heart. But besides from this just being a masterpiece I felt like it related to Warner in the Believe Me novella when Juliette was thought to die on the plane back to Sanctuary. He was so scared to leave her alone in case anything happened to her because of the trauma of almost loosing her. I think because he wasn’t beside his mother when she died, he may hold some regret that she was alone. In the song, there are a lot of ‘what if…’ and I think it could shows Warner thinking of it happening and struggling to move on from it because of the paranoia of someone you love almost dying. “But I told you even then you looked so pretty. In your hospital bed”. “I remember you said you were scared. And so am I”.
SANCTUARY - Joji
It just felt like a warnette song and it’s just so adorable. I can just hear this playing in the background if shatter me was a movie cause they just love each other and deserve everything. “If you’ve been waiting for falling in love. Babe, you don’t have to wait on me" "Pull me oh so close, 'cause you never know just how long our lives will be" " 'Cause what you want is what I want, sincerity"
LIKE A ROLLING STONE - Bob Dylan
In Restore Me we were told that Warner was listening to this song on repeat and I understand why. It seams to relate to his life and how it has changed so much from Shatter me to Ignite me (and obviously keeps changing). I struggled to pick out chunks of this song to put in this list but if you listen to it then it will probably be clear. "How does it feel, how does it feel? To be without a home" "Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street. And now you're gonna have to get used to it" "You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal"
HEATHENS - twenty one pilots
I felt like this fits into the first shatter me book theme but also other books too. I thought it related to Warner because he is often misunderstood by everyone around him as they do not know, nor understand what he has been through. He is both a tragic hero and anti-hero. (Did any of that make any sense?) "Please don't make any sudden moves. You don't know the half of the abuse" "You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you. You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?""
FATHER'S SON - Celeste
This feels like this song relates to Anderson, Warner and Adam. Warner throughout the series is almost trying to tell us he isn't anything like his father despite there being characteristics that are the same. Overall there is one clear factor that makes them stand out from each other. Warners emotions. With Adam and Warner it felt like the lines could fit Ignite me and Restore me. It feels like Warner is trying to process how the can be brothers with similar (but different) backgrounds but turned out to be completely different types of people. it reminded me of when Warner told Juliette he admired Adam for his capability to turn out completely different to him despite receiving Andersons abuse. "I know you look at yourself like me. With the same eyes, we both see through to the end" "I heard it's in your blood, baby. I heard you got the same taste in your mouth" "Maybe I'm my father's son, maybe I'm my father's son. Or, I'm nothing like you, or, I'm nothing like you"
SEVEN - Taylor Swift
This song feels to me like it could almost be from Juliette pov of when she was a child. It felt like the memories of their childhood together in Defy me. it was revealed that Warner and his mother hid in the closet to get away from Anderson and Juliette suggested to live underwater (bby). "And I've been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted Your dad is always mad and that must be why And I think you should come live with Me and we can be pirates Then you won't have to cry Or hide in the closet And just like a folk song Our love will be passed on"
HIGHER LOVE - Lilly Winwood & Steve Winwood
This song is just so cute and I could imagine it playing when Juliette confessed that she loved Warner in Ignite me. "Things look so bad everywhere. In this whole world, what is fair?" "Worlds are turning, and we're just hanging on. Facing our fear, and standing out there alone" "There must be someone who's feeling for me"

You know, with all that stupidity about wandless magic, you would think MC use it to knock the brain potion off the piano and break it but Jam City writers have -2 brain cells.
I KNOW, RIGHT??
Seriously, like… just look at this scene:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It literally begs to be like: “Oh, weeks, you say? Well, it’d be a shame if it got broken then… OOPS! I DIDN’T MEAN TO DO IT!  I’M SO CLUMSY!”. Because the thing is that they don’t even need wandless magic here – they need to make two steps and push it. And you know what makes it even worse? That MC is not even restrained in any way. I mean, I guess Merula is kinda pointing her wand at us and she’s supposed to keep an eye on things, but let’s be real – if MC acted quickly, nobody would have time to do anything. Like, the bottle is… RIGHT. THERE.
When I was reading this chapter in the datamines, I was certain that there will be more people in this scene. Y’know, random R members, simply for the background. And that maybe some of them would actually physically hold MC, so it could explain why they did absolutely nothing. But no! There’s just Merula looking very uncertain and MC being a fucking idiot.
Also, I do have a problem with MC actually using wandless magic later on the Crown:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
… because:
1) Why MC used fucking Flipendo? Why not Accio? I mean, sure, they wanted to use a distraction, whatever. But the whole previous scene was about grabbing the Crown because R can’t do shit without it, so… what gives? And don’t even tell me MC doesn’t know Accio. They’re a student in their seventh year, about to graduate. They have to know such a basic spell, even if it technically wasn’t introduced in the game.
2) WHY MC did it at all, instead of using their wand? I mean, did they assume it’d be just faster or Perry actually took their wand? And if it’s the second option, why we weren’t informed about it? I get that JC might’ve been too lazy to animate it, but they could’ve at least made Peregrine say: “I’ll be taking your wand now” or something.
 3) Are we supposed to believe that R didn’t know MC knows wandless magic? Because it kind of looked that way. But how it’s possible if it was Merula who taught it us? Wasn’t she afraid that it’d break her Unbreakable Vow? Or Verucca told her to train MC in wandless magic? If so, WHY??
HM, IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE JC DIDN’T PLAN ANY OF THAT IN ADVANCE…
No, but seriously. What was the point of introducing wandless magic to the story? I always thought that somebody told Merula to do it, and now I assume that it was Verucca, but… why? Merula also acted in the past as if she was expecting that it might help MC in the future, but… HOW?? And now that it kind of helped MC, we don’t even mention Merula’s role in all of that??
The only situation so far when the introduction of wandless magic had some sense was the chapter when we met Rakepick in Azkaban. The problem is that that chapter shouldn’t exist, to begin with. First of all, there’s no fucking way insane!Rakepick would conjure a Patronus when she’s literally stuck in her worst memories. Therefore, realistically speaking, in the insane route, there’s NO REASON for MC to lose their wand. And secondly, we’re ignoring everything we learnt from Rakepick then anyway! Why we didn’t tell Peregrine she called him a tyrant? Or that insane!Rakepick is absolutely terrified of him? How it goes along with his claims that “we’re the good guys”?
sigh
For fuck’s sake.

Hundred Sixteen. Part 2
Tumblr media
I am so done with Juke, and he doesn’t understand that, I refuse to let anyone and him ruin anything I have. I fucking told him to stay away from Imani because the girl is not good, I should know. Rylee even knows that, but he wants to go to her because she has money, that is it really. The boy knows Imani has money, I know he wants Sky but Sky ain’t got shit, that bitch was living off him, well practically me. I can’t support it, I know Rylee was being kind of enough about the apartment thing but no, I can’t do anything. I need to let him make his mistakes “my auntie” Aziel pointed at Imani “let’s pretend you don’t have one” I drove off, they look so fucking stupid there, I told Wadz to pick my car up. This bastard was in my car and picking her up, taking care of her on my dime. I paid for the whole Guyana trip plus the funeral and now he wants to do that, I refuse “why dad?” Aziel asked, “because sometimes you got to ignore people, and this is one of them” he is confused and I don’t blame him “ok” looking at my dashboard and Juke is calling, of course he is but I answered “what?” I said “you’re so embarrassing, how you leaving us here? You asking for us to get killed” he said, putting it on me “is that my problem? No my fault you aren’t liked, you have Imani be with her, not on my dime. Do it on her dime, I don’t care that cheeky bitch had it coming. I am not playing anymore, you chose your bed so lay in it” he huffed out “she is crying to Rylee now so yeah, you deserve that” putting the phone down “piece of shit, both of them” I said to myself “dad is JJ mad?” Aziel asked me “erm we all are but son it’s ok, don’t worry about it. Just adults trying to figure things out” answering the call from Wadz “where you at? I need the key” he asked, “park outside Lee home, I am going there, this cheeky fucker took my car, well he asked which is fine but then picked up Imani” Wadz snorted laughing “what is his plan? To be with her?” I shrugged “I don’t know bro but it’s not on my dime, and then Imani wanted to get cheeky with me and now claim she is a victim, I mean whatever, they are just mad I took the car off them, she is literally pulling a Rylee, and for what? Juke ain’t me, and he won’t fund her, she will need to fund him” it just makes me so mad; nobody listens to me though.
Passing my car key to Wadz “you back with Rylee? I mean like living with her” shaking my head “nah, I mean we are back together but I ain’t like move in, we just spend time together and all that. I don’t want to move in with her just yet, I think you know. I want to just work things out, my dad threw a lot of things sideways so yeah, just going to take it as it is right now” Wadz smiled “mans wants to be a husband, it would be funny to see” I chuckled “trust me, it will be weird to me too. That word alone, I don’t know what a husband do either, shit. I don’t know but yeah, take my car back to the apartment please, and if you see Juke just whack him for me, he is so dumb” Wadz waved at Aziel, but he hid behind me “what is wrong with him, alright. I am going now, speak soon” dapping him “speak soon” moving back “let’s go inside, give me that” taking his backpack from him “dad I am tired” I am not shocked, he has been out since he left school “little man you got school work and then sleep” holding his hand “oh no” I chuckled “I would say oh no too, mom ain’t letting you off either” walking up the drive, Lee opened the gate for me, she needs to give me the password really because why am I having to do that but I will leave it, I think it’s better we take it slow like that but I have the code to the door, I can get into the door but then I would need to get through the gate so at the end of it, I ain’t winning “when we get in I need you to be good and go straight to doing your work” seeing as Imani has called I know Rylee will want to speak to me, I guess we will see if she thinks I did bad, I hope she doesn’t anyways.
Aziel dragged his feet up the steps, he better do his work “come up” Rylee waved me up from the steps and went back up “you had fun with dad, you look tired?” she asked him, walking up the steps “I speak later I got work” I laughed “oh wow, you got business, go for it. I will be in my bedroom so if you need me come there” Aziel acting stressed out “is it because I am here son?” I asked but he shook his head “he about to fall asleep, watch” getting to the top of the steps, Rylee is just stood there “what happened to the meeting? You had one” I shrugged “missed it but YB was there” Rylee hugged me so I held her back “you didn’t need too, I would have picked him up, but I didn’t want to question it, are you ok?” nodding my head “I suppose, you not mad?” I am confused “mad at who?” she moved back from the hug “why would I be mad when I stepped back from Imani, I have realised that I can’t let this girl ruin what I have when we are in the moment of fixing us and she wants to bring her shit into it, she did call me crying” nodding my head “I just thought you may have just been mad that I did what I did, I am just scared it will come between us” I admitted “only if we let it, I am impressed though. Kicking out Juke, I know that took a lot in you to do that because you do love him” I shrugged “I suppose it shows who I want and what is important to me, I am going to end up being lost. Juke don’t care about me like I do him, he likes me for what I give him, which is money. My care is pure, and I know it, but who’s going to love me, not him. So yeah, he pushed it anyways. I am done with him though” Rylee poked her bottom lip out at me “I am sorry Oakley; I hate to see you upset but I guess you’re used to it?” I sighed out laughing “well I mean yeah, I guess. You’re right, I wish that I couldn’t say you aren’t, but you are with everything, but fuck them. I mean yeah maybe you’re upset about Imani so my bad” I need to not talk too much shit “Imani is a bitch, come” she waved me over “let’s go to the bedroom, I am cleaning that is why and I can tell you what she said” so much drama.
Oh Rylee is cleaning “you making space for me?” she laughed “you wish, you’re living out of a suitcase when that happens, but I have so much spare clothing I can giveaway, so I am doing that” sitting on her bed “good view” I grinned, she is bending over “ass in the air, you nasty” I chuckled “anyways, concentrate so she called me crying and said that Oakley attacked her but then she changed it up because I said what, how? Then she said I am in London and then after that I didn’t want to hear it, she said you called her nasty words and she is blaming you for this and I said hold on now, he warned you about Juke, so you tell me what did he do wrong? Nothing, we only care but she didn’t want to hear it at all, the only sound she wanted to hear was her own voice. Then I asked where you going, she said Juke is taking me to his mother, I said you fucking weird trying to retract my footsteps like that, then she got mad and said if dad finds out I am saying it’s me, oh she is so full of shit. I told Ti where she is so she can choke. Imani is so stupid, so what he took your virginity, fucking grow up” she is stupid “she said something about me liking young girls” Rylee groaned out “oh she can shut up, I will beat her ass. Don’t fucking let a bitch like that get to you, I am so serious. She is fucking nothing, I am so mad with her Oakley, just leave her to it, she will be her own downfall remember that” Rylee said but honestly that was fucked up.
“Oakley don’t worry about it; my parents won’t blame you” I had to laugh because he’s my brother “you think? I think they will, they will say he’s my brother, he’s just stupid. It makes it a mess for me” Rylee turned to me “Oakley, no. I got your back so who cares what they think? I know that little rat, I know what she is like so don’t worry about it, fuck my life. Who is that, but listen to me, just don’t worry about it. I hate to see you stressed when they aren’t worth it, I’ll be back” rubbing the side of my face as she walked off, come to think of it she has a lot of clothing, she isn’t wrong with that. I need to stop stressing. Looking around the bedroom, this is literally my side of the bed too. I do miss being here, pulling open the side draw and some of my cancer medication is here still, Rylee does not clean up because why she got this still, closing the drawer. I can hear Rylee talking so let me get up and check on what is happening “daddy I need help” Aziel ran over to me with the paper in hand “you do, I’m here. I’ll see you in a second ok” he nodded his head “I’m playing” he walked off, Aziel is so sassy now, he is getting like his mother really. Walking down the steps “why are you being like this!?” Imani shouted “because I am not your mother, I am your sister. You treat me and Ti like shit and think we will help!?” Imani would be here “you have so many bedrooms and I can’t have one?” She looked at me “oh of course he’s here, he disrespected me Rylee and you have him. He used what I have and called me crazy, he said I should be in an asylum. Rylee stop being a fucking bitch” Lee straight slapped her “don’t you fucking dare ever! Ever! Fucking call me a bitch and think you will get away with it! How dare you! How fucking dare you when we have tried to be nice to you and you think you can manipulate my man! You can blame him for his bastard brother, fuck you!” She is crying now “not having this shit! Mom is going to know; you can stay but out of my way and if you even breath on Oakley I will beat you again. I have had enough of your shit and everyone in this family, this is my time! My time to settle and now you want to come and ruin shit!” She has set Rylee off but Rylee walked away “I hate you” I rushed down knowing she was about to hit Rylee, and I don’t want that, so I grabbed Imani before she did, but she turned to me and slapped me “fuck you” I pushed her to the ground “what the fuck you doing!?” I half shouted, “she was going to hit you just leave it, allow it. I think she knows” I said to Rylee “you’re done!” She half shouted, “get the fuck out of my house, you ain’t staying here you stupid bitch!” moving Rylee into the kitchen.
I shouldn’t have pushed her to the ground, but she did slap me which was wrong “finally mom, finally you fucking pick up the phone. I want you to come to London and sort that little bitch daughter out, I am not having her here. I am not having her come into my house attack my man and then she think she won’t be questioned; you think she is innocent huh. She lost her virginity mother to the worst little boy on earth and now she is here thinking she is in love; you deal with her before I fucking murder her!” Rylee shouted, the line is so silent that I am not sure that her mom is on the phone “Imani is in New York?” she just said “no the bitch is in my house, that unhinged fucking whore. I want you to come here to London and deal with her” Rylee is too irate “relax, it’s hard on your mom too” I said to Rylee, she has it on speakerphone and this must be hard on her “Rylee, I just. What?” Robyn said “mom, you need to come here and deal with it and you know what, tell dad. She needs to know that dad is not the one to play with because he is not nice” Juke will be getting it now “she lost her virginity too? Wow, I feel so upset, wow. Erm, I will come right now, I will tell Amerie, I am coming. Rylee please just keep her at the house” she said “no the bitch goes, fuck her” rubbing my chin “Rylee, look please. She doesn’t deal with things like us, I am telling you to bite your tongue for me. Please, just please I am asking you to just hold her there and I will get her” Rylee rolled her eyes “you better come, I am not having her here being a bitch and getting away with it” she put the phone down “your mom sounds very upset” I said “I mean the baby that wasn’t going far in life just popped her cherry, yes they are upset” walking behind Rylee and the door is open, I guess she is gone. Walking towards the door to see that she is gone “bitch is gone” Rylee stepped outside, looking at the ground, that is the work Aziel wanted me to do, picking it up from the ground “she can’t have gone far, Aziel!?” I spat, jogging up the steps “you think your sister would take Aziel out of spite? Aziel, you here son” walking to his bedroom “Aziel!” I spat looking in his room “what do you mean?” Rylee ran up behind me “no? Aziel” Rylee pushed ahead of me “Aziel, you here baby” holding the paper “this is the work he wanted me to help with, I will call Juke” getting my phone out from my pocket “she is such a fucking bitch!” Rylee screamed out, she can’t do anything bad to him but it’s late “you want nothing to do with me” Juke said “you fucking right dickhead, but where is my son? Is she there” he is driving “dad I am going for ice cream” Aziel said “again!? Juke you bring him back, I am not even playing” he put the phone down on me “they have him!?” Rylee spat “yeah, they will bring him back” Rylee pushed me and walked off “what is she doing with my son” Rylee sobbed out, I know they won’t do anything and are doing it to upset Rylee but still.

I really couldn’t see myself coming back to America but for my kids, for the love of my children I am. I promised Rylee I would be here for her graduation so I have come back to America for this, I want to see my first born graduate. I can’t believe that my baby is just grown, I don’t know what to do or even how to feel about this. Robyn told me the date and I said ok I will eventually come before then, I wasn’t giving a date and she said I am being cryptic but I know her family will be there. I told my mom, she said that she is coming down, so I get to see my mom after all this time. Mentally I am in the best space I can be, I am happy. Lower dosage, countering the issue of the sexual issue, I am not sick. I am me; I have gained weight; I am in the gym. I am so happy; I am in a good headspace. Even the issues with Rylee and Oakley, I still talk to him. Like it doesn’t upset me, it would upset me if my child were upset, and I told him this, so he needs to be careful. I have no idea what is happening with that or if they still talk. I keep myself out of it unlike Robyn, she tells me everything, but I am the most calming about it, I just think she is growing up and what can I do about it but nobody messes with my baby and I will be there for her. I flew commercial, I am just in business class going over there, it will be a surprise I guess. They will see me being me, I will be normal this time. I think the best decision I have made for myself and my mental health is being in London, I have moved around so fluid and nothing has been exposed or told, I have a group of friends that really, they don’t really like clubbing but I have noticed in America they club every night, every night is a party, ,the life is different here. People don’t do that shit like they do in America, like the life is an event every day, if you ain’t at an event you don’t meet people or you ain’t in the crowd if you don’t be at them, I have seen that this is untrue and I am loving it, I haven’t been in a club since, shit is wild. They are more into gaming around here, like go to their home and they have a little thing, I am just happy. I feel like me, like I was before I went to jail, and I love this feeling, I am so happy.
The driver put my case in the trunk “damn” I said looking around me, back in California. I sighed out as I got into the car, my phone started ringing so I answered it “what’s up?” the driver closed to door on me “thought I would ask if you got to the USA bro?” Ybeez asked “oh yeah, yeah I made it over here. What’s up with you asking me? Missing me” he called “nah, don’t do me like that but I just wanted to check up on you, good. Have fun out there bro. See you soon” that was kind of him “sure thing, thank you” disconnecting the call, I met Ybeez through Oakley, generally these niggas are the tamest people in life. I have never thought I would meet people like this, I thought the life would be clubs and shit all the time but no, it is just literally vibing at home. Let me call Herb, I will tell him I am here. He has been so emotional over the phone to me, he has been a lost puppy. Tapping on his name, pressing my phone to my ear “Breezy” Herb said “Herbert, I have some news for you my nigga” I usually feel a little apprehensive that I am out here, but I don’t, I have all my medication with me too, I am good “I am in Cali” I laughed “no fucking way!? Bro! Come to me, see me. I am at the apartment” he is making me laugh “calm down yo, I am going to see the kids first. Come up there please, meet you there. Bring Taina too” I said “oh shit, I got a surprise for you, Breezy is back. My man!” he is making me laugh, he need to calm down saying my man, sounding like Robyn, she be saying that even when we divorced.
Getting out of the car “can you wait here?” I said to the driver “I will be literally half hour, hour max. I need to drop my stuff off hotel, also I will pay” he smiled “anything, I will wait around for you” closing the door behind “dad!?” walking around the car, Junior gasped dropping the basketball as he came out of the basketball court from across the house “dad” he looks taller “hey son” he grabbed my legs tightly “dad you come home” I smiled “yeah, I come back. Been so long baby” rubbing his back “oh wow, I play basketball” he stepped back “get the ball” I jogged over, it was going to roll away. Grabbing the ball with one hand “you play here all by yourself?” I asked “yeah, Raihan is boring” bouncing the basketball “come” passing him the ball “no, you hold it. I hold your hand” I smiled “ok son, you lead the way big man” he held my hand “you come back forever?” he asked “no son, just for a while” he lead me to the house “mom said I can’t play outside because I made Raihan cry” of course he did “I like that you haven’t changed, making your brother cry huh” the door is already open “I left it open so I can get back inside, I am so happy you home dad” walking inside the house “Junior, oh Chris” Amerie said “hey” I smiled, why is everyone looking at me shocked, it’s making me laugh when they do it “welcome back, it’s so good seeing” I chuckled “thank you, it’s nice to be back. As a holiday of course” Junior stepped on front of me “throw it me dad” he ran further away from “I get it” bouncing the ball on the floor “you have to get it from me?” I said, “tackle me” Junior leaned forward mean mugging me “you ready for me” I laughed, he means business right now. Bouncing the ball between my legs as I slowly made my way over to him, he came running at me but I caught him instead, he can’t tackle me. I caught him and picked him up “you’re useless” he laughed “I not, you didn’t give me the chance” he is so happy, I like that “Amerie, why is he playing with that ball in the house!” Robyn yelped out as she came down “Chris?” she said in shock “yeah that was me, not him” she did a little run down the steps “dad is here” Imani spat, Robyn was about to push anyone out of the way, placing Junior down and hugging Robyn “oh my god, you look so well” I grinned “thank you, so do you” she does.
The kids have a lot to say, they are just talking “so that is what happened? Why were you crying?” Raihan nodded his head “Junior throw and it hit me” looking at Junior “I was playing, that is it” he defended himself “why is there a SUV outside?” Robyn asked, “it’s for me, it has my stuff in there” Robyn passed me a bottle of water “bring it in then?” I laughed “now” I said smiling “now what?” I breathed out laughing “stay here Chris, we have space” licking my lips laughing “mom’ bed has space” Imani said, I busted out laughing “Imani, don’t be silly” I am saying that but I know Robyn means this shit “I will get the things, I don’t care” I can’t say no “why is there a SUV parked outside” Tianna said “dad!” she screamed running to me “dad is here” Rylee said all confused “he has come for your graduation” wrapping my arm around Tianna “oh I knew he would, he knows I don’t play” looking at Rylee “do I want to hear your headache” getting up from the couch, my arm still around Tianna as I hugged Rylee “I love you so much, I am so happy to see you” I cooed out “I know kids, look at you all though. Look all grown” they do “ugh yeah” Rylee mumbled “you the opp” she pointed at me “oop?” I said, this is how Oakley speaks “you didn’t support me” squinting my eyes at her “mhmm, I have to support your mom” moving back “opp” I repeated laughing before nudging her “but New York? I am proud of you, that is amazing” Rylee ran into me again “thank you dad” these kids love a hug.
Looking at Rylee smiling “shall we?” I said pointing to the door “why?” rolling my eyes at her “come” getting up “let’s go, I want to talk to you” which I do “Rylee’ is in trouble!” Junior spat, they are going to tease her but she isn’t really in trouble. Looking behind me to check, she is looking reluctant in walking with me “come” I said, she finally walked over to me taking her time “am I in trouble though?” I shook my head “I wanted to ask about Melo, and yeah. Look, you are going to enter a new phase in your life and I want to be there for you but not crowd you, I know like your mom she is very intent on trying to make you stay close to her, she wants to tell you what to do but we can’t really so yeah” stepping outside “we broke up, well I broke up with him. I didn’t say it to you because I don’t know” she mumbled “because I am going to be thinking” turning to her, she put her head down. I laughed looking away from her “I am not stupid, so you broke it up with Melo and you was respectful the way you did it? No bad blood?” she nodded her head “right, ok. So what is next for Rylee? New York for you, your mom wants to let you live alone” Rylee smiled “she is protective, I think she is emotional about me going. She said no dorm, I will get you an apartment but like what the hell” nodding my head “see with your mom she went through life overseas, alone and she has that fear of her kids being away and alone but she needs to understand we will always be there, she has fear so just be sensitive towards her, let her know that you will be ok, that she will be the one you will call if in trouble, she is being a mother” Rylee nodded her head “you know Oakley has released his first drill song which has made a big hit, things will be busy for him. You know” Rylee cringed “dad please, I know. Like you think I am stupid, but I am not, I am careful too. I am your daughter dad, just trust me and if I am in trouble I will be on the phone, I know. If anything becomes serious then I will let you and mom know” I worry for her, she doesn’t need to be me “how is you dad? You know what, you look amazing” I cooed out “I am good, I Feel good within myself, I am just happy Rylee. I am glad to be here, to see you kids and how happy you all are right now” I like to see it “Chris” looking over at Robyn “can I steal your dad please” Robyn said, of course she wants to steal me.
Robyn is smiling so wide “I erm, got your bags and told the driver to go. Stay with us, this is your home as much as it is mine, the kids want you here so yeah” I grinned “or you want me here, so where do I sleep? Or should I say where do you sleep” she scoffed “uhhh well don’t mind me if I float towards your side” I knew it “no but just stay over, and Chris you look so amazing. I am happy, I like what I see” rubbing the side of my face grinning “thank you, I am back to me. I feel it, I feel more like me then erm, what I felt like. I wasn’t me you know, but the medication like I was saying, it’s so much better. Trust me” she is staring at me in awe “I am glad you are here though, sort out your daughters” pulling a face “they aren’t that bad Robyn” I don’t think they are “you are so laid back and calm, it’s me panicking. So you tell me about this Rylee business” I blew out air, she is asking me things now “well uhm, I am trying to stay out of it you see. Like she said, if she has anything to say she will say it, and I get it. As a mother, you are wanting to know and me, I am just trying to not think of it” I explained “oh my god, Chris” looking behind me, Herb came “oh shit, brother” he ran to me “Herb” I nearly fell back as he hugged me “what the fuck Chris, my nigga man” hugging him close “shit man, you got me choked up. Fuck, I am so happy to see you, the hell” moving back from the hug “don’t cry” I laughed, we both laughed “oh shit, surprise” he pointed at Taina “no way, you’re going to be a dad!?” I said “yeah man, I wanted to tell you while you was here” I chuckled walking towards Taina “congratulations, wow. This is crazy” hugging Taina “I think he is more happy to see you then anything, I think she is right about that.
We decided, well I say we but Robyn decided to go out to eat with the kids and Amerie, it’s nice of her, she said it’s her treat “I still can’t digest that you will be living in London you know” Tianna said, nodding my head slowly “I know, but I can always fly back. And you can all come to me for a holiday, I will get a home by then of course” the kids look so sad “but anyways, it is Rylee’ time, and the fact she is going to be moving soon” Rylee pulled a face “dad in London and Rylee in New York, that is so unfair” Imani spoke up “you got mom” Rylee added “poor you” I joked, Robyn swatted me “shut up, or we could move to London” looking over at Robyn “really? Is that your idea or the children’s?” I know damn well this came from her “I am doing a poll, see if the kids want to be closer to you” licking my lips “then I will move again once you all come” Robyn thinks she is being clever “then we will follow you” she is funny “get a room!” Rylee spat, I chuckled “I have already, at the house” Tianna pulled a face “I haven’t not missed this place, stale pasta” one day she will let go of this nasty Baldi place “it’s a way to my heart” she says that but doesn’t think of others that want to eat elsewhere, maybe somewhere that isn’t so boring “dad, I want you to be there for me when I move to NYU so maybe you need to stay” she wants me to stick around for that, oh god no. Looking at my phone, Ybeez is calling me again. Grabbing my phone from the table “yo” I answered “we coming to LA my brother, I thought I would tell you. While you there, come and do business and come back” I paused for a while “are you bringing whitey?” Ybeez laughed out “he’s the whole reason now, come on. Yeah” not him coming to LA, looking at Rylee “let me know when you land and stuff, I’m just out” that is so random because he didn’t mention anything about LA to me, now its LA for business which makes me wonder is it business or something else.

You're a trooper for rewatching s4 I literally can't ever since vol2, it ruined the entire season for me for two reasons. One Max's outcome and two Steve regression to soley function as Nancy's boyfriend and not acting like his own character.
The Duffers need to stop treating Steve as only comedic relief and a human punching bag who pines after a girl who clearly never loved him. It would be way more interesting to see him interact with the kids. We've only been told oh Steve's our guy, our babysitter but it's never truly shown especially in s4. The way he was so annoyed with them, refusing to be with them just so he can trail behind his ex girlfriend who cheated on him in s2 was such a bad take and I'll forever be angry about it.
Steve is such a fantastic character stuck in a mediocre show who doesn't deserve complex characters. Like there were so many options for his character, explore more of Stobin, have them talk about other things than relationships. Explore what he wants to do with his future not just his love life. Explore how he feels about Dustin replacing him with Eddie, it's criminal we got a Eddie/Dustin hug before Steve and Dustin. Explore Lucas and Steve's relationship especially in terms of the concept of popularity and being passionate about basketball. Explore how he is dealing with Max, like you can't tell me he wasn't concerned about her when she isolated herself, not when he actually got a letter from her. I'm tired that we are only being told who Steve is but then it shows a Steve who is just love crazy. Steve could be so much more but nope the Duffers apparently hate him so much they have to let out their aggressions on him by brutally beating him up every season and never giving him anything to be happy about in the end of every season. Steve tries to be a better person but life always shits on him when he does, it's not fair.
Eddie was literally only there to start the plot, he was there to inform the characters what's going on in the beginning. He was just there to serve for Dustin's angst plot in s5. If he wasn't played by Joe Q. nobody would care that much, Argyle was more useful than Eddie but due to obvious reasons didn't get the same hype. I also hate how he literally overshadowed Max's "death", a character we spent years with. Like I don't get this hype, his death wasn't something worth to get out petitions to bring him back and it wasn't too bad of writing to kill him off that way. He got to be a hero, saving Dustin (maybe in another better way would have been nice) after doing nothing for the plot the entire season. That's more than what other side characters got. I do believe the Duffers always wanted him to die but didn't expect him to be this loved because of the actor.
As for Nancy I also agree she just makes me angry and one day I might make a post to explain why but I don't want to get canceled by the fandom lol.
The only reason I got through the final episodes is because I was watching with a friend and we were talking shit about the episodes the entire time. S4 is just not a good season for several reasons, but those last two episodes were pointlessly long and it genuinely felt like nothing even happened.
The stuff with Max was bad because it was forced drama done because the plot said so and not for any logical reason (why would Vecna go after Max, who knows how to escape him, when he can literally go after anyone as far as we the audience know? Why does he even need to psychologically torture them first? Drama? Who knows. Probably not the Duffers!) and they've been butchering Steve since S3, so I was disappointed but not surprised.
The Duffers treating Steve as a punching bag that constantly needs to be reminded that he was a normal level of dickish at 16-17 is just a result of them having a complex about nerds vs jocks. People who play sports = popular = bad person, even though the nerd characters are constantly condescending and also just as assholish as the non-nerd characters when it comes to people being allowed to have interests (Lucas and Steve liking/playing sports is devalued and seen as them chasing popularity, rather than a fun hobby--even though athletes are probably the most useful when going up against literal monsters, but whatever).
Honestly, I think the Duffers resent Steve for being one of the fan favorites, when he was meant to represent everything they disliked.
Regardless, yeah I don't care about Dustin and Eddie being besties in S4, I just wanted more of Steve interacting with Max and Lucas. Like, please Duffers I just want Steve and Lucas to talk and for Steve to tell Lucas it's okay to want to play sports and to not feel like he can't just because his friends are being assholes about it. Also, I need Nancy and Steve to stay six feet away from each other at all times. I do not wish to see it. If anything, I would have been okay with him wanting to go with Nancy/Robin if it had been framed as Steve needing to be on the front lines, so to speak, because he doesn't like being "on the bench." Or if he had been more torn between going with them or staying with the kids. Anything that wasn't "I'm sick of being the babysitter."
I don't think I responded to everything in this message, but I need to go to sleep and if I didn't answer this tonight, I'd forget to do so tomorrow lmao
TLDR: S4 is bad. Eddie was overhyped by the fandom. Steve deserves better.

Had the craziest experience of joining a “superhero roleplay server” for the first time in a while, one not distinctively Marvel or DC just kinda it’s own universe. It was considered “sci-fi” and so I didn’t really see any sci-fi elements really other than the city itself that it took place in but that was whatever
Things hit the fan when I started asking questions about the lore. Namely that if people born off of this island could have super powers (they called it “vigor” and also called their drug “vigor” which seems like it’s just a knock off version of Compound V from “The Boys”). When I tell you these people got so mad so fast.
Nobody on staff could give me a straight answer, and I think most of these people were in high school given their answers. They said no, if you’re born off the island, even if your parents were born on the island, that you could not have powers. I was confused because their written lore said it was “in their blood”. But when asked if it was genetic, they said no. Which is REALLY confusing bc if it’s in your blood when you’re born then it would be genetic.
I pressed a little further to ask why that is, and they dead ass told me “lol no we can’t tell you bc that’s something they’re finding out in the lore later” which is code for “we don’t have a reason yet, stop asking questions”. When something is the BASE REASONING in your RP server, maybe give it some sort of basis other than “people born here have magical powers”
So then I was like “okay so secretly mutated character is a no-go then, okay”, but someone else kept asking questions bc we were both GENUINELY CONFUSED on this whole “it’s not genetic but its in your blood”, bc they compared it with having mutations when you’re a baby. And I was literally trying to wrap my head around this bc no one was saying the same thing.
Eventually, I just got fed up bc the staff started blatantly ignoring me and the other person asking questions and left. My friends sent me this lovely screenshot from after I left.
Tumblr media
Mind you, I did leave after “all that” bc no one of staff could give a clear answer on LITERALLY ANYTHING. It took a whole day to get an answer to a SUPER simply question about powers. ALSO I said that if the OC was too similar to X-Men I would 100% be willing to change it bc I had a back up character in mind anyways! Additionally, this shows me they did not read my powers at all bc I stated multiple times this was a NIGHTCRAWLER LEGACY I was looking to import over with any needed changes if she was too similar to Nightcrawler at the end of the day.
Like how are you going to insult me and be wrong about the x-men 😭😭
They then also gave me the most generic copy paste backstory for my character. “Well if you don’t want to be born on Selva, you can have magic instead of vigor” Cool, I asked how she would get her appearance with just magic alone. They just said “freak accident or spell gone wrong idk”
They had also proceeded to deny someone else’s character for assumptions THE STAFF made about them. Also had a ranking system that they didn’t have explained anywhere. Oh btw did I mention that in order to have a group of vigilantes you had to BUY IT WITH THE ECONOMY BOT? Bc god forbid you don’t want to join their one group.
Funniest thing was, when ranting about it in another RP server, someone told me their friend joined the server a while ago and the staff were all condescending and rude towards them. Can’t say I expect less from people who quite literally ignore everything they are asked to talk in general about the words for porn categories 😭
The server is called Selva City, so y’all can avoid it like the plague bc holy shit that was probably the worst RP experience I had in FOREVER.
