#erin plays d&d
Text
I have laughed so hard during this session too many times because the guy who is usually quiet and stoic at our other table is playing a drunk girl in this two-shot and I can't handle this personality switch.

Hey guys, sorry for all the triggering stuff, but I was a little mad at myself for not studying english and I went out of my head, but I wanted to let you guys know I changed the name I want to be called and it's Erin!

omg i have an idea
eddie x reader
shes gareths best friend & eddie always liked her
she would show up to their performances & campaigns for eddie but eddie thinks she likes gareth so eddie starts bringing a new girl & he chases reader away , she stops showing up to everything & gareth is upset with eddie, fluffy at the end
Ugh I love a good Eddie being stupid and bringing new girls around
Tumblr media
Y/N had the biggest crush on Eddie Munson ever since she met Gareth. Eddie and Gareth were always together and did everything together. It was impossible to see Gareth and not run into Eddie. She didn't stand a chance. And Gareth being a best friend, teased her for it.
"do you think you'll ever actually play on the campaign or sit and drool over Eddie the whole time?" Gareth mocked as they walked towards the drama room.
"shut up. I do not" she scoffed, smacking his shoulder.
"oh come on! I think once I actually saw drool on your chin. The day he wore that silver chain on his neck!" Gareth pointed out, laughing as she tried to hide her face
"okay that wasn't fair. He can't wear a chain and hang over the table and just let it dangle there. That was like.... shut up!"
Gareth laughed harder as she tried to walk faster, he was hot on her feet, preparing to tease her even more
"you so had a wet dream about that didn't you?"
"GARETH!" she screamed shocked. Her face heated up because she in fact did have a very wet dream about that chain.
The two were laughing and pushing each other as they walked into Hellfire. In their own little world, not noticing someone new at the table
~~
Eddie stiffened as the two walked through the door. Watching as they laughed and pushed each other. Flirting with no care in the world. Eddie had a huge crush on Gareth's best friend. He can't even remember when his crush started but it's been way too long. Every time he wanted to make a move he was reminded that she was Gareth's girl and he could never do that to his best friend.
He needed to move on and forget her. Sitting and watching the two whisper and her getting flustered was breaking him down. He knew he should talk it out with Garreth. Gareth has had years to make her his, there was something stopping him. Eddie definitely had a fair shot but it was so easy to tell that Y/N stuttered and got shy whenever Gareth's lips were near her ear.
"if you two want to stop giggling. We have someone new" Eddie snapped. The two finally looked up. Shock on both of their faces as their eyes went to Eddie's left, a beautiful brunette sitting with a smile.
Gareth looked from the girl who's hand was on Eddie's arm, to Eddie, to his best friend. Watching as Y/N swallowed the biggest lump in her throat.
"maybe it's not what we think" Gareth whispered into her ear, smiling and throwing his arm over her shoulder. Walking her towards the table as she was frozen in her spot
Eddie felt his jaw clench when Gareth whispered in her ear, throwing his arm on her. Eddie answered their actions with his own. His large hand making its way on the girl's shoulder. Wrapping his arm and practically shoving her in his chest.
Y/N tried to avert her eyes away but her brain forced her to watch. Gareth sighed next to her, questioning Eddie with his eyes. Gareth was so going to kill the long haired bastard.
Eddie spent the whole camping ignoring her existence. Gareth glared at Eddie every time he looked in his direction. Y/N sat silently and watched as Eddie flirted with the gorgeous new girl. Insecurity filling her body the more she compared herself to her.
~~
After the hard challenge of watching hellfire last night, Y/N still wanted to attend the band's performance. She wore her merchandise and got in her car. She held her breath as she pulled up to the bar.
She made her way to her usual spot at the front booth near the stage. Waiting patiently for the boys to come on
"Y/N right? It's Erin!" Y/N felt her body deflate as Erin smiled and sat down. Her perfect body was framed by a tight deep red dress. A dress that she knew Eddie would be on his knees for. She tried to shrug it off, smiling at Erin. She hated how perfect this girl was for Eddie. The alternative look just fits her so well. It wasn't like she had to try at all.
~~
Once the band was cleared off stage, Y/N was met with silence again. Erin quickly filling it
"so!..." She trailed off
The awkwardness was obvious
"you and Eddie huh?" Y/N asked, trying to sound supportive and interested. Trying to ignore the pain of Eddie being with someone else.
"like together? No. We just have hot sex" Erin shrugged, throwing back her drink
Y/N felt herself clench her eyes. The blow hit her way harder than she wanted it to. Good news, they weren't dating. But bad news, he was fucking her. He was kissing her. He was being intimate with her. Doing the shit she dreamed about
"oh..right" Y/N said quietly. Holding her full glass as she tried not to cry
"There she is" Eddie teased, grabbing Erin by her jaw and shoving his tongue down her throat. Y/N looked away as fast as she could. Trying to block out the sounds of the groaning.
She sighed in relief when Gareth walked over. Grabbing her hand silently and yanking her out of the booth
"you don't need to watch that" he snapped, dragging her to the bar, as far away from Eddie as Gareth could.
"he's fucking her Gareth. Look at her! She's practically from a porno magazine"
"stop. I know what you are thinking and she's nowhere near better than you. He's just being dumb " Gareth knew Eddie liked Y/N, which is why he doesn't understand what the fuck Eddie was doing.
"no he's not. He likes her and is having fun. I never made a move so no harm done. The blonde at the end has been staring at you since last week. Go have fun, I think I'm going to go home" she said, giving him a hug.
Gareth pulled away with a sad smile "he's going to regret this you know"
She laughed and shook her head in disagreement. Pushing him towards the blonde.
Taking a deep breath she walked towards Eddie and Erin. Forcing her legs to move closer as Eddie groped her in public
"hey Eddie?" She coughed loud
Eddie pulled away, lips covered in deep red lipstick
"what's up?" He asked breathless. His eyes looking at her, growing worried as she looked seconds away from crying
"I'm not feeling good so I'm going home. But I wanted to say good job tonight...as always. I'll see you tomorrow" she smiled and quickly moved out of the bar as fast as she could.
Eddie watched her confused. Eyes searching the bar for Gareth, growling as he watched Gareth kissing a random blonde
"she looked really upset" Erin spoke outloud
"yeah...I think I know why" Eddie snapped. Eyes never leaving Gareth.
~~
After that night Y/N decided it was best to not attend hellfire or go to the gigs. It was too hard to watch Eddie and Erin. She accepted it, nothing she could do. Eddie was single and free to have sex with whoever he wanted.
~~
"it's been a week, are you sure you don't want to come?" Gareth asked softly.
"no I think I'll go home and study. Plus Bethany told me she's excited to watch you play. I don't want to third wheel" she joked
Gareth smiled and nodded
"I get it. I'm sorry he's doing this" Gareth said kissing her forehead. He felt horrible for his best friend. Always hyping her up to ask Eddie out because he knew Eddie felt the same. Now he had to watch his best friend fall apart.
~~
Eddie felt his body stiffen as Gareth walked in with the blonde from the bar
Y/N hadn't been to hellfire or their gigs for a week, and all because Gareth decided to spend his time with Bethany.
"you are unbelievable" Eddie snapped, not waiting a second to get in Gareth's face
"what?" Gareth scoffed
"is she why Y/N refuses to come around now? How can you do that to her! Lead her on and shove your tongue down Bethany's throat and leave her in the dust!"
"Eddie trust me you have no fucking idea what you are talking about" Gareth growled. Eddie was the one to blame not him
"oh please! We all know she's in love with you!" Eddie hated saying it outloud. A reminder why he could never be with her
"IT'S NOT ME THAT'S BREAKING HER HEART" Gareth screamed. Eddie doesn't get to break her heart and try to blame other people for it.
"THEN WHO IS?"
"YOU MUNSON. SHE'S IN LOVE WITH YOU"
'"she's what?" Eddie choked out
The room was silent. Everyone watched as the two fought back and forth. The confession on Gareth's tongue sat in the air
"she loves you Eddie. And she couldn't handle seeing you and Erin together so she left. You happy? Fucking asshole" Gareth snapped, grabbing Bethany's hand and leaving the room
One by one the room cleared out. Eddie stood frozen in the same spot. Blinking and trying to figure out what Gareth just told him
"do you like her?" Erin asked softly from behind him
"no...I'm pretty sure I love her" Eddie admitted out loud for the first time. Hands shaking as he rubbed his face
"god I fucked up so bad" he groaned, throwing himself in his chair
"look, if she's truly in love with you she's not going to be over you that fast. She might be hurt right now but if you clear the air and fix it, I think she'll forgive you. All you did was hookup with someone else. You didn't know she had feelings for you. Don't beat yourself up over it" Erin advised, patting Eddie on the hand as she got up
"it was fun Munson. Now go get the girl" a smile on her lips as she went out the door.
~~
"YOU TOLD HIM!" Y/N screamed as she smacked Gareth over and over
"it slipped out I'm sorry!" He apologized, trying to dodge all of her hits.
The two froze when her doorbell went off. She raced to the window to see Eddie's van parked in the street
"oh my god it's him" she panicked
"good! This is what you need" Gareth said, racing to the front door
"DON'T OPEN IT!"
He ignored her and yanked open the door
Eddie smiled softly, eyes looking behind him as she came running down the stairs
The second she made eye contact she sighed. It was now or never.
"fix it dick" Gareth spit out as he went around Eddie to walk out the door
Eddie coughed and shut the door behind him
"Gareth told me some things I was very unaware of and I'm sorry. I hate that I hurt you"
"you didn't know. I refused to tell you so I'm not mad at you for hooking up with Erin. You are single and are allowed to do single people things"
She said shrugging
"doesn't mean you deserve to be forced to see it. I shouldn't have rubbed it in your face. I was being stupid and jealous" he admitted. His brown eyes refusing to leave her eyes
"jealous? Of what?"confusion written all over her face
"I thought you liked Gareth. I thought you were head over heels in love with him and that he loved you too. I've had these feelings for you since forever and it hurt watching you flirt and whisper into each other. I acted out of jealousy and wanted to show that I can move on"
"we actually whispered about my embarrassing crush on you" she laughed awkwardly. Eddie smiled at the confession. Stomach doing flips that they talked about how much she liked him
"were you successful?" She asked once her laughing died down
"about what?" Eddie asked. He wasn't sure what she was asking
"moving on from me?" Her nervous eyes searched all over his face. Swallowing another lump in her throat.
"not in the slightest. I don't think it's possible to move on from you" he admitted, stepping closer to her body
Moving a hand up her arm to her cheek. She was soft and warm. Exactly what Eddie thought she would be
"me too" she breathed out. Moving her body so it was pressed against his. She loved how hard his chest was and his hot breath.
"I'm in love with you" he said into her lips, inches away from connecting himself to her
"I love you too" her breath leaving her lungs as Eddie pressed his lips into hers. Grabbing her hips and pushing her harder against him. She groaned and pushed him against the door. Her hands are working up his chest. A finger hooking around his chain necklace. Desperately clinging on to each other. Whimpering into each other's mouths.
"come back to hellfire and our gigs?" He asked, pulling away just an inch. Forehead pressed into hers
"if you keep wearing the chain" she smirked, yanking the silver necklace and crashing her lips on his again.

Pokemon Scarlet/Violet - Voice Actor Headcanons.
Tumblr media
So here’s the latest update of this little series on my blog where I assign official voice actors to characters that don’t have them. I also did this with the previous title, Legends: Arceus.
I have to reiterate the same points every time, but it’s just so we’re all aware - 
This is NOT CANON. These are HEADCANONS and are unofficial. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.
Every major character in both games is included here, so there are HEAVY SPOILERS for the game’s main storylines. DO NOT READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE GAME OR DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED.
The only character I did not include in this is Jacq. He already has an official VA thanks to the Pokemon Go Gimmighoul Trailer. I don’t know who it is though because they go uncredited.
So without further ado, I hope you enjoy my ideas. Or don’t. Your choice.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥
Thank you for sending me this! 🥰
I don't know who I should choose between Emon and Erin and I did something similiar about them in this ask...
But anyway... New 5 facts about… Emon :D (I'm sorry, I love this dork too much)
These facts are more about him as a Sim than a character:
I created him in May 2018 (he is still my favorite male sim);
all my male CC I do mostly for him;
I love to screen and play with him in his different life stages and AUs;
I like to put makeup on him, which I would like to try on myself, but I'm too lazy and greedy for that;
he is one of the few sims with a standard EA's height in my game.

If I'm There: Chapter Twenty-One
Tumblr media
when you realize the significance of the monkey (∩˃о˂∩)♡
read from part one here!
summary: Noah and Natalie met in high school and developed a relationship through their love of music and art. Falling in love, innocent and young, they think nothing can keep them apart. However, sometimes in the pursuit of your dreams the things we love the most get left behind.
this is a complete work of fiction, some characters while based on real people are totally made up. :)
word count: 3.6k , edited by me ....soooo if you see something spelt wrong no you didn't.
taglist : @lma1986 @cookiesupplier @notingridslurkaccount @blackveilomens @thisbicc @laurpartyprogram @concretenoah @thebadchic @jessitpwk @madomens @samanthasgone @myownthoughts12
I picked up Erin from Ashely’s house at around 10 am the following morning. I don’t think anything will ever compare to her seeing me and running with excitement into my arms for a big hug. I just hope she still feels that way later today when I tell her about Noah.
“I missed you Mom!” she calls out and I pick her up and swing us around in a circle. “Oh my sweet girl, I missed you so much!” I tell her and kiss all over her cheeks and the top of her head. We finish gathering her things and thank Ashely and her mom again before we eventually get into the car and head off to begin our girls’ day. “So nails first or food? How are you feeling?” I ask as I turn on the radio and begin backing out of the driveway. 
“FOOD! Please! We only had cereal for breakfast and you know I need more than that.” I laugh because I know exactly that. My girl can eat! “Okay, so first food and then nails!” I say, then reach over to turn up the radio when I hear “Dancing Queen” by ABBA come on. We sing our hearts out on the drive to our favorite breakfast spot near our house. We sit in our regular corner booth by the back window. I order a coffee and a full stack of pancakes with eggs and bacon. Erin orders an orange juice and the same amount of food and I know she’ll finish it all. She recaps me on the last two days and all the fun she had with her friend, “but I missed you and Hales a lot. I’m happy to be back home now.” she says stuffing a huge piece of pancake into her mouth. “I’m happy you’re home too little bug, but why don't you take smaller bites? I don’t need you choking thirty minutes after getting you back.” She smiles with her mouth full of food, “okay” her muffled voice comes out and I can’t help but laugh. 
With breakfast finished the two of us head to the nail salon and I decide we should really pamper ourselves and we get the deluxe mani/pedi package. The salon I like plays old MTV music videos on big TVs all around the room. The sound of Paramore while my feet soak in the soothing heat and the massage chair digs into my back puts me into a state of complete relaxation and I find my mind wandering. Stuck on a moment from the night before, Noah and I sitting together on the couch and our almost kiss. If things were different, if we lived in an alternate universe and it wasn’t ten years later I would have closed the distance and would have let myself be sucked into his gravity. He has everything he wants now, his music, his band, it’s what he left to find ten years ago.
I look over at Eric who’s set the chair to the back-patting setting that has her voice bouncing “Ah, ah, ah, m-o-o-m, d-o-o-o I s-o-u-n-d w-e-i-r-d.” the smile that breaks across my face is full of love as I take in the beautiful girl in front of me. “You sound perfect baby,” I say and ruffle her hair softly. The rest of our appointment goes by in a relaxing daze. We laugh while Erin tells me about her last two days. We finish up and I mentally prepare myself for the conversation we are about to have. I am going to tell her about Noah. I just hope she doesn’t hate me afterward. 
We get back to the house and she rushes into her room to unload her dirty clothes and reunite with the stuffed animals she had to leave behind. “Fluffy! I never want to be separated again!” I hear her exclaim from outside of her room. Before talking to her I head into my room and open my closet door, I’m looking for a certain shoe box. “Where the hell is it?” I ask myself, “Ah ha!” It’s nestled deep into the corner hiding under the Carhart hoodie I borrowed from Haylie who stole it from who knows. I take a deep breath and lift the lid of the box. On top are several photos of me and Noah, some of the two of us, and Nicholas as well. Wadded up in a tight ball is the Bring Me The Horizon shift Noah gave me all those years ago. There’s also a CD, some random ticket stubs, drawings, and more pictures at the bottom. I decide to just take the whole box and head towards Erin’s room.
Knocking on the door I hear a soft, “Come in!” I walk into her room and see that she’s decided today is the day she’s going to reorganize her bookshelf. 
“Hey sweety, can I talk to you about something?” I ask and try to hide the nervousness in my voice. “Umm yeah, is everything okay? You sound weird.” So I didn’t do a great job at hiding it. “Yes, everything is okay. There’s just something that I need to talk to you about. Something important.”
Two lines appear between her eyebrows and her face contorts in confusion. “Is this an I can keep working and listening important or do I need to sit next to you on the bed?” she asks and I pat a spot next to me on the bed to wordlessly answer her question. “Oof, okay,” she whispers out and climbs next to me on her bed.
“You remember how I told you that I got pregnant when I was still in high school but my boyfriend and I had already broken up?” she continues looking at me with confusion all over her face but nods slightly, “Yeah, I remember. You said you two never saw each other again.” I take her hand and smile, trying to fight the tears in my eyes.
I open the box and hand her a picture of Noah and I. “His name is Noah. This is your father.” She takes the photo and looks back and forth between me and and younger version in the photo. “You look so different,” she says and I huff a laugh. “Yeah, that’s what growing up will do to you.” 
“Where is he?” she asks quietly looking up at me. “Well, he’s actually in town for a few days if you would like to meet him.”
“Where has he been?” she asks and that takes me off guard. I struggle with what to say, not wanting to keep anything from her but also not wanting to upset her. “He’s been in Los Angeles. That’s where he works.”
“What does he do?”
“He’s in a band, playing music, and sings all around the world.”
“Hm,” she says and I’m not sure what she’s thinking. 
“So he didn’t want me?” and there it is. The knife in my heart makes it hard to keep the food down from earlier but I push through, remaining strong.
“Oh no sweety, that’s not true at all. He didn’t know for so long. It’s very complicated adult stuff. Things that took me a long time to understand myself” I try to explain to her. 
“Will you tell me when I’m older the complicated stuff?”
“Of course baby, I’ll tell you anything you’d like to know about him.”
“Is he nice?” Erin asks in a quiet shy voice, “Do you think he would like me?”
I wrap her up in my arms and squeeze her tightly, “he is very nice and he will like you very much I promise.” I run my hand down her head, soothing her soft brown hair.”Does that mean you’d like to meet him?”
The air is still in the room as Erin takes time to think. Her small face scrunched in concentration. “I think I would like to meet him, yes. But are things going to change? My friend Brody’s parents don’t live together and he goes to his dad’s house every other weekend. Do I have to do that now?” I pull her closer until my head is resting on top of hers. “Nothing will change without you making that decision. Right now, we take things one step at a time.” she nods her head and wraps her arms as tight as she can around me.
“Would you be interested in meeting him tomorrow? He will be leaving again soon with his band so we won’t see him again for a few weeks. I can tell him we can wait if you’d be more comfortable.” I’m also definitely scheduling an earlier therapy appointment for her this week. Her head remains buried in my side while she takes everything in. I am giving her all the time she needs to process, so if she wants to wait until he’s more available I don’t blame her. 
“I think I would like to meet him. But what if you just invited him over here? So I can show him my stuff and maybe he will like me even more?” 
I move back so I can take her small face into my hands. “I can do that but I need to to listen to me now, there is no one on this planet that could possibly not like you Erin Howlston and I know for a fact that he will love you so much because you are you and you are perfect,” I emphasize my point my giving her cheeks a little squeeze. “But you have to think that because you’re my mom.” she quips through pursed lips. “And he’s your father, so by your logic, he must also think that,” I argue back and I see her eyes turned down slightly in the corner.
“But he made you sad right? That’s why you broke up when you were in high school. I don’t want him to make you sad again.” My heart swells. While I drop an atomic bomb of information about her life she’s worried about my feelings. I must be doing something right with this whole parenting thing.
“Sweetie, that was a long time ago. My heart is all better now and I’m not sad anymore. I am so so so unbelievably happy with our life. With you and Aunt Haliey, Uncle Kyle and Aunt Mags, and little Natasha. I think Noah is a very good person and he wants to be in your life because he cares about you. Even without having met you.” She gives me a small smile and hugs me again.” okay, I want to meet him. You said tomorrow right?” she looks up at me with her deep brown eyes that have always been just like his. “Tomorrow it is. I will give him a call later today, but what do you want to do now? Play? We could watch a movie? Or draw together?”
Quickly detangling from my arms she races to pick up her paper and stretching pencils, “Drawing please! I need help with the cat I’m drawing.” 
We spend the next few hours drawing together on her bedroom floor laughing and listening to music. For Christmas last year she asked for a Google Mini so she could ask it to play music whenever she wanted. Now we are listening to “The Very Best Of Otis Redding”. When she was a baby I listened to it all the time. I used to sing “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” while rocking her to sleep. Sometimes I walk by her room and she is listening to it while reading or playing with her toys and it reminds me of holding her when she was so little and how she would hold my finger so tightly.
I feel the tug of guilt in my gut about Noah having missed those moments but force it down, there’s nothing that can be done about the past but we can create new memories with the three of us together. Even if Noah and I aren’t together we can be the two parents that Erin needs. Maybe we can even be friends.
Later, once Erin wanted time alone to play with her toys I went into my room to call Noah. I haven’t been able to talk to Haylie about any of this yet, she woke up late with a hangover and had to run out of the house for the day to meet with her editor to talk about her next book release.
I close my door most of the way, only keeping a small sliver open in case Erin calls out for me. I sit on the edge of my bed and hit the green call button on my new Noah contact page, It rings a few times before I hear the sound of him picking up on the other end.
Hey! Natty, how are you doing? How’s it going?
Hi Noah, things are good. How are you? 
There’s rustling in the background of his call, “oohh is that Natalie??” I hear who I think is Folio.
Yes, shush…not you Nat! You don’t have to shush. Sorry, Folio is being an idiot.
I’m good, just working on some new remixes for our deluxe album.
I just finished talking with Erin and she suggested I invite you over tomorrow to meet. Is that okay?
Tomorrow sounds great! What time is good for you two?
How does 12:30 work? I can order us sandwiches from the sub shop in town, Erin’s favorite.
Perfect, 12:30 is perfect. Thank you so much, Natty. I won’t let you down again. I promise.
I try not to blush like a preteen at the way his voice goes almost breathless as he makes his promise to me. 
Um. so I’ll see you tomorrow then, bye!
I try to rush off the phone as fast as possible before I let myself word-vomit anything stupid.
Bye Natty, I’ll see you tomorrow, looking forward to seeing you and meeting Erin. 
A few minutes I hear Haylie unlock the door and head into the house and she calls out like she did the night before. “Honeys!! I’m home!” she calls from the front room. “Hey Hales!” Erin and I both call out.
Before I have the chance to call down to her to come up so I can relay everything that’s happened since we separated after the concert, she is racing up the stairs taking two at a time. She swings my door open, stepping into my room with a huge face-splitting smile on her face. “Sooo?? How did it go?” she asks moving closer into my room and creating the same small gap in the door before sitting down next to me on the bed. “Well, before I drunkenly barged in. sorry about that. That Folio knows how to throw them back, he’s pretty hot don’t you think?”
She has this twinkle in her eye when she says it and I laugh and roll my eyes at her. “It went well, he was a little upset at first which I wasn’t surprised by. He cried I cried, it was very emotional. He wants to meet her and then stay in Austin during their break in between tour dates.” As I recant my mind whirls and everything hits me more than I expected. “He said that he wanted this life with me, wanted the family and the happiness and the love that he should have fought harder for me, should have never let me go.” I try to keep my voice steady but I can feel my throat getting thick with emotion. Haylie wraps her arm around me and remains quiet while I continue telling her all about what happened. “And then when I was showing him pictures in her baby book there was this moment..” I slowly trail off and she pops forward and her eyes widen in surprise.
“What kind of moment?” she asks in a voice that goes all jelly-like and I manage to look slightly shameful before I tell her. That I so easily folded in his presence is borderline embarrassing, just shows how powerful his hold is still over my heart. But right now I can’t think with my heart, now is the time to think with my brain. While also considering Erin’s heart. 
“We might have almost kissed,” I tell her while I bury my face in my hands. “OH MY GOD! NATALIE !” she shrieks and I quickly throw my hands over her mouth. “Shush! Haliey oh my god, Erin will hear you!” and just like that I hear her little voice calling from down the hall, “everything okay in there?” she asks. “Yes!” “Everthing is fine!” we answer in unison and I think she retreats back into her room.
“You almost kissed him! How? What did he say? Did he lean in? How did he act after the almost kiss,” she shoots out the questions in a rapid-fire succession and I rub the sides of my temples before answering her. “Um. I guess he was kind of leaning in, he was doing that thing you know. When a guy looks between your eyes and your lips. I felt so weak. Oh my god, I almost kissed him, and then the book fell and I remembered what we were doing and why he was there and I felt so stupid.”
“You are NOT stupid! There were a lot of emotions flowing, you hadn’t had a moment alone with him in years and it’s not like when you broke up you two weren’t completely and totally in love with each other. It’s not like those feelings just go away.” she says while rubbing up and down along my back. 
“I just can’t do that with him, It’s not a good idea for the two of us to do anything that could jepordize Erin’s happiness.” I nod to myself, wiping one of my hands down my face and then raking them through my hair. Haliey and I flop backwards onto the pillows while I finish catching her up on everything that happened, including my conversation with Erin and then my phone call with Noah right before she got home. 
“You want me to clear out tomorrow so y’all have some privacy?” she asks and I balk at the thought. “No way! I would never ask you to leave your own house. Plus, you’re such an important person in Erin’s life, I’m sure she would also want you here.” 
The three of us spend the rest of our evening lounging in the living room watching TV in our pajamas. We make homemade pizzas and cookies for dinner together in the kitchen while singing along to Disney’s greatest hits. We end the night all cuddled together on the couch watching Erin’s favorite movie “The Secret Life of Arrietty” and when she falls asleep I carry her up the stairs into her room and deposit her into her bed. I gently kiss her forehead and turn on her glowing nightlight before closing the door and heading back to help Haylie finish cleaning the kitchen. 
The next day is quickly upon us and I nervously watch the clock ticking away as we get closer and closer to 12:30. I picked up the subs a few minutes ago so hopefully Noah isn’t late. No one likes a soggy sub.
Just seconds before the second-hand crosses over the 12 on the clock there is a knock on the door that causes me to jump straight out of my seat. Haylie laughs at me as she rubs my shoulders walking past and into her room. She told Erin that if she needed her at any time to just barge in and get her. I walk towards the door and Erin suddenly looks very nervous and gets up to hide behind my back. “Are you okay baby?” I ask her quietly before answering the door. She nods her head against my back and whispers, “Yes, I’m fine.” she gripping the back of my jeans but I think if she didn’t want to do this anymore she would say something, she’s just nervous. Hell, I’m nervous. 
I open the door and Noah is standing there with a bouquet of wildflowers in one hand and a stuffed monkey in the other. “Hi,” he says in a soft and nervous voice. I return his greeting with a warm smile. “Come on in” I open the door wider so he can come in and Erin scoots along with me not quite ready to reveal herself. “How are you doing?” he asks and hands the flowers over to me, “these are for you.” He gestures to the monkey, “And this is for Erin.” she peaks her head out from behind me and looks up towards Noah and the monkey. “That’s for me?” she asks quietly. Noah crouches down to be at her eye level and hands out the toy to her. “Yes, this is for you. Do you like monkeys?” He asks and I see a small smile appear on her face. “I do like monkeys. I saw some at the zoo a few days ago with my friend Ashely.” She holds out her hand to accept the offering. “Hi Erin.” he says with a warm smile, “I’m Noah, it’s very nice to meet you?” She slowly eases out from behind me and is now standing beside me and at eye level with Noah, still crouched. “It’s nice to meet you too. Even though you made my mom sad.” 
Oh, Jesus, this is going to be an interesting afternoon.

Hi, bad news. The erins are coming down on fan content, especially animated and games apparently. Unfortunately it can include clangen from what I've read, so you might want to. I honestly have no idea tbh. Save ur work and warn others i suppose so they can save the game incase something happens. Please be safe :(
Hello!
We aren't too worried about this for the time being. Our reasons being:
We aren't making a profit off this game. It's a free to play, open-source game that anyone can edit the code on. We do have a license to protect the code, so that's good. But as long as we don't accept money for this project, we should be safe.
I believe you are referring to the 3-D series that was canceled. That project was canceled due to it being a direct adaptation of the book. As long as we don't copy things verbatim from the book, which we aren't, we are okay.
We haven't heard anything come down the line towards us yet, so at the moment, we aren't worried.
Thanks for the concern though!
-Chase

Thanks for the tag, @diddys-bong-quest!
1. 3 ships: The Enterprise D, Enterprise E, and the Valdor type Romulan Warbird (they're the ones in Nemesis). I know this is about relationships but I'll explain in however long it takes for your face orbs to move down to question 2.
2. first ever ship: Picard/Crusher. I was 12. I accidentally clicked on a fanvid of them with the song "Far Away" by Nickelback and my brain chemistry permanently rewired. They are basically my only "ship" but I've started watching X-Files and lemme tell ya, there's some vibes with Muldy and Sculz that are RESONATING.
3. last song: "Alone" by Coco and the Butterfields. It's a good one. Nice build up.
4. last movie: Erin Brockovich. I'll be honest, not as good as I was led to believe but still interesting. Difficult to crunch real stories into 120 minutes.
5. currently reading: Making my way (downtown) through the Shatverse Trek novels and I love them so much. They are ridiculous and exactly what I'd expect from Shatty's brain.
6. currently watching: Lower Decks, X-Files, and Ghosts (BBC version)
7. currently consuming: Costco chocolate chip cookies. They are deadly and divine.
8. currently craving: Pho with udon noodles. Also, the ocean (not to eat)
Okay, tag time (no pressure to play):
@cleverlycrusher, @dustydahorse, @gingaaaaa, @superilovejeanluc, @driftwoodthrone, @grissomesque

hey sweetheart! i was hoping i could request one where f! reader is erin's partner at intelligence and she has a daughter. she and erin got along great and are practically "best friends", and is practically obvious that erin and reader are in love with each other, so there comes a day when she asks erin "you're in love with my mommy, don't you?"
fluffy and everything, you can decide the daughters name! it's totally okay if you aren't able to do it. hope its understandable! :))
Partners - Erin Lindsay x Fem!Reader
A/n : thank you for this request! I love this idea!!! And Emma is Y/n’s daughter (I’m sorry I couldn’t come up with a better name 🥲) but anyways I hope you’ll enjoy reading this!
The day didn’t start so well since it was snowing so hard that school was cancelled for Emma. And it turned out that the babysitter who usually looked after her was sick. 
Which meant you had to take Emma to work with you. You were so caught up in your thoughts you didn’t realise it was getting late until you felt two tiny hand tug at your shirt. “Mommy, when are we going to see Eri?” Emma asked, jumping up and down in excitement. 
Erin was one of Emma’s favourite people, since she was always so kind to her and even offered to teach Emma how to do a French braid, after Emma once saw her hairstyle and asked a million questions about it. You appreciated Erin so much. It was hard raising Emma all alone, but you knew you had an amazing family you could rely on. Erin was your best and closest friend you had. 
“We are going to go see her now sweetheart. I just need to grab a few more things alright?” Emma nodded, running off to get her shoes and winter coat.
Arriving at the district, you quickly helped her out of the car and gathered your things. 
After exchanging a few words with Trudy, you and Emma headed upstairs towards the bullpen. Opening the gate you let go of Emma’s hand for a second and before you knew it she was running up to Erin’s desk screaming at the top of her lungs “ERIIIIIII!” It was a nickname she had once come up with and Erin loved it. 
A few hours later, you were still filling out some leftover paperwork. Hearing Erin and Emma quietly play a game of cards you smiled to yourself. You loved seeing the two most important people in your life get along so well.
After finishing another report you got up and grabbed your mug heading towards the break room. Quickly glancing over at Emma and Erin, you saw that they were still playing the card game and Emma looked really happy. “You really are in love aren’t you Y/l/n.” Jay laughed from beside you. You jumped up in slight fright, glaring at him. “Don’t scare me like that Chuckles.” You said pouring in some coffee to your mug. “You should ask her out.” He simply stated, looking at you. “I don’t know Jay, I mean. I just don’t want to lose my best friend, you know?” You said sadly. “I know you don’t want to lose her but I think it’s worth a shot. I mean you never know what will happen and besides seeing the puppy eyes Erin has been giving you this whole morning just makes me even more sure about it.” He said gently bumping your shoulder before walking out with his fresh coffee. 
Meanwhile Emma and Erin were having a whispered conversation, after Emma asked if they could speak quietly since it was something about you. Erin got slightly worried and agreed, softly asking what this was about. “You’re in love with my mommy aren’t you?” Hearing Emma’s words Erin blushed looking down. “I knew it!” She smiled at the brunette widely. “So when do you plan on asking my mommy out?” Emma added. “Sweetheart, are you sure? Since I don’t want to upset you.” Erin softly replied, looking over at Emma’s slightly shocked expression.
“Why would you dating my mommy upset me? I like you a lot so I don’t see why that would upset me.” Emma said, confused. “But what’s your plan?” Erin smiled, before whispering something into Emma’s ear. 
A few moments later you walked out of the break room and approached Erin’s desk. Emma was colouring something while Erin was simply watching her. “Uh hey Erin can I talk to you for a second?” You asked softly. “Of course, is everything alright?” She asked you in concern. “Yea I think so. Emma, will you be alright on your own for a second?” She just nodded and happily returned to colouring some picture Erin must have printed out. Antonio also offered to watch Emma for a bit, while you and Erin talked. Sending him a thankful smile, you nodded and looked over at Emma. 
Erin gently placed a hand on your lower back and led you to the locker room. “What’s up?” She asked, sitting down on the bench next to you. “Well I wanted to ask you something…” Erin just nodded and you continued. “I really like you Erin and so does Emma. And I just wanted to ask if you maybe wanted to go on a date sometime. Sorry if this is too soon.” You blurted out, blushing slightly. “I was about to ask you the same thing. Emma and I were just talking about you and I have wanted to ask you that for ages.” Erin laughed, gently leaning over and placing a strand of your hair behind your ear.
“Can I kiss you?” Erin asked softly, looking at you with red cheeks and wide eyes. “Of course.” You smiled back at her. Gently leaning in, the two of you kissed. Suddenly you heard a loud scream, it was Emma who was jumping up and down in excitement screaming “THEY KISSED! MOMMY AND ERIN JUST KISSED!”
Laughing at her words you held out your arms for her to climb into them. Emma quickly sat down in your lap and looked over at Erin with a big toothy grin. “See I told you it would work!” She said, smiling at the both of you. You just laughed at her words.
Emma held out her hands to Erin, who quickly grabbed her into a hug. “Mommy come join us!” Emma said, turning to look at you. Laughing, you joined the hug and smiled at Erin over Emma’s head. The three of you sat like that for a while and Erin placed a gentle kiss on your forehead.
Everything was alright.

Today I learned that Maddie Phillips (who plays Cate) is only 3 months younger than Erin Moriarty (who plays Starlight). They're both 29 D:
Which means she's "of age" to date Antony Starr and I'm not sure I wanted to think about that.

ok obviously if you don't want spoilers for Hamlet Starring Donald Duck beware but here is my review and reaction
dramatis personæ:
- Hamlet: Donald Duck (Ducklet)
- King Hamlet: Scrooge McDuck (King Scrooge)
- Claudius: John D. Rockerduck (Rocklaudius) (this was definitely a choice)
- Gertrude: Brigitta MacBridge (Brigertrude)
- Polonius: Ludwig von Drake (Drakonius)
- Laertes: Gladstone Gander (Gladertes) (this one took me out the second I read it. not only does it fit bc Hamlet&Laertes and Donald&Gladstone are all foils of each other but it's also insanely fucking funny period so)
- Ophelia: I think it's probably Daisy but I straight up can't tell. but who else would it be. (Duckophelia) (this was also a choice)
- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: Fethry and Gus (Rosengoose and Guildenfeather)
- Horatio: Gyro Gearloose (Gyratio) (this one also one hit KOed me)
- Players, Gravediggers: Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Grandma Duck
more under the cut of course
premise: Scrooge takes Donald and HDL with him to Denmark for a business venture, and HDL make Donald go with them to search for the infamous ghost castle of Ducksinore, which they know about from William Duckspeare's Ducklet, their assigned reading for school. (William Drakespeare was RIGHT THERE and also what they used in dt87 but whatever.)
Ducklet is the nephew of King Scrooge, who mysteriously vanished, apparently retiring to Greenland. Rockerduck is the new king. Donald is not excited about this, and he's even more mad about Brigertrude claiming to be in love with Scrooge and then turning around and getting engaged to Rockerduck. In the courtyard that night, Donald is faced with the spectre of Scrooge, who is not a ghost but is incorporeal and inaudible to everyone but a close family member. he tells Donald that Rockerduck poured Nonsense Juice on his head that made him invisible in order to usurp the crown and Donald has to get the antidote Or Else.
(Script is by Giorgio Salati, art by Paolo de Lorenzi, translation by Erin Brady)
love this first panel of the Ducklet story, very pleasing and a lovely design
Tumblr media
Donald is slaying in a delightful combination of his usual outfit and Hamlet-style clothes complete with doc martens. Kenneth Branagh would be proud
Tumblr media
Scrooge kind of follows Donald around, yelling at him to hurry tf up and annoying him in the middle of normal-people conversations so that he looks crazy. all in all he is a giant bitch as usual
Tumblr media
loving the adaptation of the SWEAR! scene
Tumblr media
rocklaudius calls ducklet a fruitcake
Tumblr media
a few instances of comedic timing being impeccable. also I love fethry so much btw
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this adaptation of the I Knew Him Well Horatio scene
Tumblr media Tumblr media
nobody dies. Donald, thinking Drakonius is Rocklaudius, stomps on his foot with his medieval combat boots after the kids put on his little play. then while Donald Ducklet is on the way to England Drakonius and Ophelia headbutt and Ophelia gets a concussion and walks around talking nonsense and singing just in time for Gladstone to get home and be like What The Hell.
the king and Gladstone hatch a plan to get Donald to drink the Nonsense Juice but Brigertrude accidentally drinks it and turns invisible. then the juice gets all over the castle and everyone in it just before the Norwegian Beagle Boys can arrive to besiege it. the whole castle turns invisible (except they can all see each other) and they decide that it's not that bad bc an invisible incorporeal castle is way harder to besiege anyway. the end
all in all: very entertaining. I feel a little crazy I can't believe that was legit

A RIM-SHOT.
Tumblr media
D'ANGELO x BLACK!FEM!OC
SUMMARY: in which Essence gets a shot at D'Angelo, her long-time instrument-playing crush who played a local club she frequents. ✨
𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 and her sister Erin sat at a table in the front row of the poetry and neo-soul club as they watched the band perform, both of their focuses on different instrumentalists while Essence gently tapped her foot to the rhythm of the song playing underneath the table.
the club was more of an African American club, and i say this because mostly Black folks were seen visiting it. sure, some earthy-looking white women visited occasionally to enjoy the sounds of catchy soul and smooth poetry slams, but the club was more of a safe space for Black people, especially since all of the employees and the performers were black.
the owner? black. the bartender? black. the instrumentalists? black. the singers? black. the poets? black.
it was a black-owned business with black employees, black visitors, black performers, and black instrument players, and Lord knows you'd never find that anywhere else but there.
"you think i could transform into a drum set, Erin?" Essence rhetorically asked, resting her hand underneath her chin, as the sisters locked eyes and Erin let out a soft chuckle.
"as long as i can transform into a guitar." Erin joked, a playful smile on her face, as Essence cracked a smile and let out a soft laugh while their dark brown eyes averted back to the stage in sync.
the drummer of the band on stage was D'Angelo, also referred to at times as just 'D'. he was one of the reasons why Essence was a consistent visitor at the peaceful club. he was an extremely attractive man, and nobody in the room could deny that. from his neat and slightly lengthy black cornrows, his caramel and seemingly smooth skin, and his gorgeous and hypnotizing brown eyes to his beautiful aura, his calming energy, and his enticing and slightly raspy vocals; it was clear as day that he was definitely one of God's favorites.
Essence hadn't made a move on the brown-skinned man yet, and honestly, she didn't know why. she wasn't a very shy woman and approaching a man she wanted wasn't hard for her to do, but for some odd reason, she hesitated on approaching D'Angelo. sure, he was intimidating and he made her nervous, but that never stopped her before, so it confused her and her sister why she hadn't pursued the drummer yet.
as for Erin, the guitarist she was fawning over was none other than André, referred to as André 3000, Dré, and sometimes just 3000, and he was also stunning as well. Erin wasn't as bold as Essence, so it was understandable why she hadn't approached him yet, but she wanted to grow out of her shy ways and pursue the man she wanted, which is what she said she'd do tonight, and this caused a deal to brew up between her and Essence.
the two made a deal that they both had to let go of their anxiety and timidness and approach the men they secretly adored, which Essence agreed to without a second thought. the goal was to spark up a conversation and get their numbers, but if it went further than that, it'd be extra points for the two.
ending up in their beds wasn't the achievement they were going for, but if they got that far, they wouldn't complain about it. it'd just push them further into wanting to seal the deal they had agreed upon the night before.
"you takin' that shot because you want it or because you need somethin' to make you bold?" Essence asked, raising a brow, as she watched Erin down a shot of Vodka and Erin slightly cringed at the sensation of the strong liquor going down her throat while she gently cleared her throat.
"both," Erin croaked, lightly hitting her chest, as she signaled the bartender over to refill her shot glass and Essence laughed while she sipped on her strawberry margarita, "don't worry 'bout me tho', tell me how you gon' approach D."
"i still ain't figured that out." Essence mumbled, letting out a soft chuckle, as she fiddled with a few of her black locs and Erin raised a brow at her before chuckling, downing her shot and biting down on her bottom lip to keep her from making a face while she wiped the corners of her mouth.
"girl, you ain't got a lot of time to try and figure that out. you shoulda' had that planned out last night," Erin chuckled, shaking her head, as she sat down her shot glass and stood up from her stool, "i see André's off stage, so i'm 'bout to go holla' at him before this liquor wears off. i wish you luck in gettin' ya drummer boy, Essie."
"and i wish you luck in gettin' ya guitarist, E." Essence smiled, playfully winking towards her, as Erin sent a wink back and walked away from the bar, going towards wherever her dream man was while Essence turned around to face the bar and swirled her straw in her glass.
maybe if she would've gotten something stronger than a margarita she'd be able to approach D'Angelo like Erin approached André, but she hated the taste and smell of strong liquor so that option was quickly thrown out of the window. sinking into her overthinking, Essence rested her hand against her jaw as she stared at the counter and slipped her slim black straw between her plump lips, sipping the rest of the margarita in her cocktail glass while she tried to come up with a way that she could imitate Erin's actions and go up to her crush.
she didn't know how she'd do it, but she knew she'd bag her dream man tonight. however, she believed it would be much easier for her to pursue him if he acknowledged her first.
"what'll ya have, sir?"
"i'll take a glass of Whisky. and refill this pretty lady's glass with whatever she had before. put all that on my tab." the familiar silky voice made Essence's ears prick up, and she snapped out of her thoughts as she watched the bartender pick up her glass and the dark-skinned woman averted her eyes to the person next to her, signaling for Essence to look at the person who was seated beside her.
turning her head, Essence's eyes nearly shot out of their sockets as she stared at D'Angelo, a small warm smile on his face while a soft blush coated Essence's brown-skinned face once she realized he had referred to her as "this pretty lady." the way he randomly appeared next to her and acknowledged her was like the universe had read her mind, and if it did, she wasn't complaining.
"a great drummer and a gentleman? i think the men in here got some competition," Essence joked, raising her brows, as D'Angelo let out a laugh and Essence giggled before holding out her manicured hand, "i'm Essence, but some people call me Essie for short."
"i'm D'Angelo, but i'm sure you knew that already," D'Angelo chuckled softly, shaking her hand, as he brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed each of her knuckles, "so you think i'm a good drummer, huh?"
"good is an understatement if we're referring to you. sometimes i come here just to hear you play," Essence smiled, the blush on her face starting to intensify, as the bartender came back to the adults with their drinks and the both of them thanked her at once before she smiled and walked away to let them continue their conversation, "when did you learn how to play the drums?"
"when i was 12. when i was younger, i was exposed to a lot of soul music and i saw a lot of black people who played instruments, and that made me wanna be one of 'em, y'know what i'm sayin'? i started wantin' to learn to play the piano, the guitar, the saxophone — all'at. but when i found the drums... that's when i knew i found what i truly wanted to play," D'Angelo explained, rubbing her knuckles with his thumb, as Essence nodded her head and took a sip of her drink, "now, don't get me wrong, i can play all of that, but my favorite is definitely the drums. if it wasn't the drums, i'd probably be playin' the piano, not gon' lie."
"i used to play the piano at my church when i was 13. i joined a band at my school so i could continue playin' it and after i graduated, i forgot all about my passion for it until i came here," Essence chuckled, watching the male across from her take a sip of his brown liquor, as she absentmindedly ran her tongue over her lips and tingles spread up her arm once she realized her hand was still in his grasp, "you gon' get me jumped in here like half of these women not feenin' for you, D."
"half of these women only want me 'cause they think i'm attractive. i ain't worried about them. i'm worried about you," D'Angelo chuckled, licking the excess alcohol from his lips, as he sat his glass down and his brown eyes slyly flickered between Essence's eyes and lips, "you always come here by ya'self? or you come here with ya man?"
"that's your way of checkin' to see if i'm in a relationship, huh? so you a great drummer, a gentleman, and smooth... a lil' sweet-talker, ain't you?" Essence joked, a small smirk on her face, as she raised her brow and D'Angelo laughed, causing her to laugh with him, "but, nah, i don't have a man. i come here with my sister Erin."
Essence nodded her head towards Erin, causing D'Angelo to look over at her sibling, as the two looked at Erin and André and watched them flirt with one another, making both of them chuckle while they turned their attention back to one another.
"does likin' instrumentalists run in the family?" D'Angelo joked, raising a brow, as Essence laughed and picked up her drink, taking a sip of it while she removed the straw from her lips and sat it back down.
"we like what we like... and i like drummers with cornrows." Essence flirted, an enticing smirk crossing her face, as a smirk crept onto D'Angelo's face and the atmosphere around them suddenly filled with sexual tension, causing Essence's pupils to slightly dilate in lust while she lightly squeezed D'Angelo's hand.
"yeah?" D'Angelo smirked, scooting closer to her, as Essence raised a brow at him before mimicking his actions, their legs resting against each other while D'Angelo's hand trailed up her arm, "well, i like pianists with locs."
"you do, huh? you got a piano at ya crib, D?" Essence smirked, picking up her glass, as she wrapped her lips around the straw and drank the rest of the liquor in the glass.
"is that your way of askin' to come home with me?"
"maybe."
"ooh, nice place. i see you do a lil' decoratin' on the side." Essence complimented, a small smile on her face, as D'Angelo chuckled and closed and locked the door behind them, looking over at her while he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"thank you, beautiful. i got a lil' music room in here too, that's where all my instruments and stuff at." D'Angelo added, guiding her down the hallway, as Essence raised her brows and looked up at him.
"you got a piano in there?"
"see for yourself."
opening the door of the room, a smile crossed Essence's face once she saw D'Angelo's customized drum set but her smile widened once she saw his piano, an abrupt squeal coming from her while she walked over to it.
"oh, my Godddd, it looks like one from my high school!" Essence exclaimed, a large smile on her face, as she pulled out the wide leather piano bench and sat down on it, looking over at D'Angelo and patting the spot next to her, "c'mere. i'ma play sum' for you."
"yeah? what'chu gon' play?" D'Angelo chuckled, smiling at her enthusiasm, as he walked over to her and sat down next to her.
"listen and see." Essence playfully smirked, gently nudging the man with her elbow, as she cracked her knuckles and D'Angelo laughed at her playfulness, earning a giggle from Essence before she positioned her hands above the piano keys and began playing.
as Essence played, a wide toothy grin crept across D'Angelo's face once he realized she was playing "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers, and Essence noticed his realization when she glanced over at him, causing her to let out a soft chuckle.
"i know you know the words, drummer boy. sing a lil' sum' for me." Essence smiled, looking over at him, as their eyes locked and D'Angelo's brows raised once he realized she could play the piano without looking at it, making a small playful smirk cross her face while she raised her brows as well.
along with drumming, sometimes D'Angelo sang at the club as well, so not only did Essence fall in love with his instrument-playing, she fell in love with his skillful vocals as well.
D'Angelo let out a soft chuckle and listened to her play as he slowly caught the rhythm of her fingers on the keys and gently cleared his throat, preparing his voice to sing while his eyes gradually shut.
"LEAN ON ME, WHEN YOU'RE NOT STRONG, AND I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND," D'Angelo sang, his brows slightly furrowing in concentration, as Essence smiled widely at him and lightly nodded her head to his voice, continuing to play the piano while she looked at the singing man next to her, "I'LL HELP YOU CARRY ON. FOR IT WON'T BE LONG, 'TIL I'M GONNA NEED SOMEBODY TO LEAN ON."
"okayyy, i see you! you better sang, boy!" Essence joked, giggling, as D'Angelo let out a laugh and shook his head while Essence's piano playing gradually came to an end, "teach me how to play the drums."
"right now?" D'Angelo asked, raising his brows at her, as Essence took her fingers off the piano keys and wiped her palms on her bootcut blue jeans.
"yeah, right now. i played the piano for you, i deserve to be taught how to play the drums." Essence pouted, lightly poking out her bottom lip, as D'Angelo chuckled and shook his head, standing up from the bench and grabbing the woman's hand.
"c'mon. i'ma teach you, pretty," D'Angelo led the woman over to his drum set by her hand and pulled out the drum throne that was seated by the bass drum, "sit right here. i'ma go get another chair so i can sit behind you and show you."
"behind me?" Essence asked, her face slightly twisting up in confusion, as D'Angelo chuckled and walked back over to her with a chair in his hand, sitting it behind her while he gripped the sides of the drum throne and pushed closer to the drum set.
"yeah, behind you, Ess'. i gotta' guide you, don't i?" D'Angelo chuckled, sitting in the wooden chair behind her, as he scooted closer to her and grabbed the drumsticks that were resting on the snare drum, placing one in both of her hands while he nudged her right thigh with his knee, "put your foot right there on that drum pedal. that's how you'll hit that bass drum down there."
"okay so, here's what you're gonna do..." D'Angelo held Essence's hands as he instructed her how to create rhythmic beats, his arms resting on top of hers and his broad chest pressed up against her back as his head nestled on her right shoulder. as she listened to his instructions, she couldn't help but zone out as he spoke to her, drowning in the sexually intrusive thoughts that were beginning to cloud her mind.
with the smell of his cologne flooding her nose and his minty breath fanning her neck, Essence's mind was filled with thoughts so raunchy and vulgar that she couldn't bring herself to say them out loud, and to be honest, she didn't want to say them out loud. she could feel his body heat radiate off of his toned upper body and onto hers, and it only fueled the fire that was secretly growing inside her lower region.
who knew teaching someone how to play the drums could be so intimate?
"...you got that, ma?" hearing this, Essence was knocked out of her thoughts and she looked to her right, seeing D'Angelo look up at her while awaiting her answer to his question. as she looked into his eyes and he looked into hers, the room was gradually filled with sexual tension, and it was very similar to the tension the two felt at the club, but since they were alone, it seemed much stronger than before.
Essence's eyes flickered between D'Angelo's eyes and lips, causing him to mirror her actions, as his head rose from her shoulder and moved closer to her face, their lips inches apart while Essence's breathing softly hitched in her throat. she looked between his eyes and lips for a final time before smashing her lips onto his, capturing his lips in a passionate lip-lock while he returned the favor. D'Angelo's hands and arms were still touching hers and his chest was still pressed up against her back, and it seemed to only increase the burning flame of desire inside of the brown-skinned woman in front of him as she squeezed her thighs together and the drumsticks abruptly slipped from her grasp, the wooden sticks hitting the floor while D'Angelo gave her hands a gentle squeeze.
slipping out of his grip, Essence turned around on the drum throne, her lips still engaged with his, and she cupped his face in her hands as her acrylics ran over his chiseled jawline, making a soft grunt come from his lips while his hands rested on her thighs and caressed them through her jeans.
"got a bedroom you can fuck me in or you wanna make some music together?" Essence mumbled in the kiss, a small smirk crossing her face, as D'Angelo let out a soft chuckle and smirked with her before standing up and picking her up from the drum throne, her legs instinctively wrapping around his slim waist while he carried her over to the red loveseat near his guitars and recording booth.
"Let's make some music, baby."

A movie has been made starring your OCs! Who are you casting?
Oooh, interesting! So this is like... faceclaims but they don't have to be perfect, kind of. This will be fun :D
Robin: Erin Kellyman. She's already her faceclaim, so that much is easy. There are a few different details, but she's by far my number one for Robin
Ophelia: I struggled to pick something for her, but I think Rhea Ripley would be a good pick. She's a little short to play Ophelia, but she's got the right facial features and that strong fighter's build.
Rae: I struggled with Rae for a WHILE and I have no idea why. Nothing just clicked, I looked through so many lists before finally landing on Nell Tiger Free. She's just about the right height, has the perfect eye color, and overall has the right sort of vague intensity for Rae (that sounds weird but like... her bone structure and the way she holds herself, I can see Rae's first fight in the alleyway right there)
Jasper: I'd definitely want an actor who's trans irl. In all actuality, it would probably be an open audition rather than pulling from the pool of existing actors, as a way to introduce more queer talent into the industry. But for the sake of picking someone.... Miles McKenna, if we punk him up a little bit.
Madison: I think I decided on Dove Cameron for her a while ago, and that still works. She's need to be put in some SFX makeup for her mutation, and her hair and eyes might just have to be CGI because of that mirror effect.
Katherine: It's hard to find actresses with Katherine's facial features AND vitiligo (again, would likely be an open audition if I actually were making a movie), but I think Dara Reneé with SFX makeup for her vitiligo would be a good fit.
Quinn: Same with Jasper, I'd probably open it up to wider auditions, especially since Quinn is very visibly trans and actors who fit her character aren't always given opportunities to get into the industry. But again, for the sake of picking someone... I dunno man, I really fuckin love Mason Alexander Park. They're a little too short for Quinn but everything else is just about perfect.
Kestrel: I'm gonna be honest... I have absolutely no idea. They're intentionally designed with a few incongruous features (since they chose their own appearance, it's not genetic), so I really don't know who would even come close.
Eris: I was scrolling through a list of Middle Eastern actors to try and pick someone out, and I'm thinking either Alia Shawkat or May Calamawy. Alia looks a little more like the picrew I made for Eris, but May (having done Moon Knight) would potentially get Eris' fight scenes and general character a little better.
Nikoletta: Let's give Teyonah Parris her dual Marvel/DC credit, why don't we? I think she'd kill it as Nikoletta, and it would be neat to see her in a more villainous/dark role
