Hello! May I request headcanons for Floyd and Jade reacting to their little sister dating Azul, Riddle, Ace, and Idia? Thanks and have an amazing day!
Azul Ashengrotto
Oh, you chose Azul? Well, that’s... fine. It could be worse and it could be more fun. They’re fine with it, and will barely bother you about it at all.
Azul, on the other hand? He’s gonna see hell. Every day at least one of them makes a comment about him dating their little sister, and right in the middle of work too. Y’know, if you don’t treat her right I’ll squeeze you anyway, even though we work together~ from Floyd and have you checked up on her lately? Take good care of my dearest sister, Azul, or you’ll regret it from Jade, paired up with their eerie smiles.
You won’t be able to tell if they’re genuinely being overprotective of you, or if they’re just doing this to tease Azul. Either way you can tell how it stresses him out just a bit, from how he often talks about what the weird comment of the day was to you.
Riddle Rosehearts
Once you break the news, Floyd gets so hyped he could almost jump so high he’d break through the ceiling. You’re dating Goldfishie? So he gets to tease him more often???
Jade himself isn’t nearly as excited, but he does find Floyd’s reaction amusing, so he’s very supportive of your relationship. Floyd won’t stop talking about all the things he’ll drag Riddle to do when he comes over and Jade just congratulates you politely.
The introduction dinner is very much reinforced by both your brothers, and... poor Riddle, honestly, because he’s already nervous when he gets there, but when Floyd busts the front door open and full on glomps him he knows it’s gonna be an insane night.
And most of the time it’s just Floyd making his life difficult, honestly. Riddle is just one of his favorite people to tease. There’s none of that “introducing boyfriend to protective older brothers” tension, just Floyd annoying Riddle to the moon and back. It never stops either, Riddle may just start avoiding to come over... which you’re very understanding of.
Ace Trappola
Trappola, that first year? Interesting choice. They do have some funny memories from when he was working for Azul, that anemone on his head.
With someone like him, though, they’ll very much be more protective. They don’t know Ace that well after all! Plus, he looks like quite the troublemaker. You can bet both of them will be lurking around him every now and then, leaving your boyfriend with a lingering feeling that he’s being watched...
They gather and make a whole plan about how the introduction would go. It’s their classic good cop/bad cop routine, Jade makes food for all of you and asks polite questions, making small talk while Floyd looks menacing in the background, offering a witty response to everything that Ace says during the conversation, talking about how he’s gonna be so easy to squeeze, if ends up having to do it~
But Floyd also just teases him on occasion, switching between violent protectiveness and just being a goofy older brother. Needless to say, Ace is very much terrified.
Idia Shroud
Idia Shroud, huh? They’re conflicted. The information he has on Idia is strange, with all those rumors about his family and the way he barely leaves his room, but also with the fact that Azul does know him and has told them he isn’t nearly as bad as he sounds.
Either way, bring him in, they say. They’re curious to meet him from up close, though it’ll definitely be hard to get Idia to come to your house... not just from his own shut-in ways, but also due to the fact that you have Leech in your last name.
But let’s say you were able to drag Idia out of his room to properly introduce him to your brothers. In that case, they’ll go with that routine again, just... a bit more subtle. Less of an interrogation than in Ace’s case because they already know a bit about him, they’re just suspicious of what he might be hiding...
The threats happen, naturally. Neither of them really care that he’s supposedly Azul’s friend, there’s definitely a hint of danger in him. That, and they think it’s hilarious how he squeals when they get too close.
if you wanna support my work, you can buy me a ko-fi or commission me!

But Baby Bird
Cheating!Hawks x Reader 
Warning - Cheating! Toxic ass behavior. 
Summary - You catch Hawks cheating on you - and you decide to take him down a peg
Apparently cheating Hawks is a trend right now? And like I’m down... But in my way. Also listen to the glee version of Bust your windows and it 100% fueled this.
Tumblr media
Today was a normal day for you. You got off at work, went to pick up something for dinner, and headed home for the night. Work had been stressful. All the heroes at your agency seemed to need a hundred things. And running the behind the scenes of the agency was already hard enough. So you were longing to be home. In the arms of your fiancé. He’s always great with helping you recover from a bad day. 
As you walk into the penthouse you notice a distinct lack of Hawks. Normally he greats you at the door- a drink and hand and a sweet kiss. However he was no where to be found. You don’t think too much on it. You’ve been at the office extra late the last couple weeks and with his hero work you know it brings natural conflicts in your schedules. However the pros boots at the door reveal he’s here. Still he could be asleep. He is one for laying around in his free time. 
“Hawks baby?” You call “I’ve got us dinner.” 
He doesn’t reply. You roll your eyes setting down the takeout bag on the kitchen counter. Starting to set it up. Knowing he’d be grateful to wake up to the meal. You move to grab some paper towels only to catch site of two wineglasses in the sink.
“The fact he can’t just reuse a dish-” You groan lightly.
“Baby bird-” You hear a distant groan. You move looking down the hall to the bedroom. “Oh Baby Bird.”
“He couldn’t fucking wait for me,” You growl, “what a tool.” You move marching towards the bedroom. Clearly annoyed that your boyfriend started with out you. ”Hawks I’m sure I’m better than your hand-”
The scene in front of you isn’t that of catching your partner jerking it off... No instead it’s Hawks balls deep in on of the interns from his agency.
“No fucking way,” You say harshly. Hawk looks over at you. Eyes wide. Guilt filling his expression.
“Love Bird-” Hawks start pulling away from the girl. The intern moving to grab the blankets from your bed to cover herself. Hawks standing and pulling his boxers from the ground as you stared at the scene. 
The emotions flooding over you weren’t deafening. The anger. The sadness. The helplessness. The shock. All blending into an overwhelming mess. You just walked in on your fiancé fucking his intern. The man everyone warned you about proving their point. 
For a moment you don’t do anything. Then you just start to laugh.
“This isn’t- let me jus explain.”
“Explain what?” You ask him laughing lightly, “that you’re fucking some bimbo from your office?”
“Y/n-”
“Fuck off Keigo,” You say harshly, “I’m done. I hope you and your little slut over there have fun...” 
“Babe-” 
You pull away harshly. 
“Don’t fucking touch me,” You spit back. 
You left. Wanting to be anywhere but there. So you ended up over at Rumi’s. Your friend giving you the usual break up kit. The pajama, ice cream. The whole nine yards. She tried to cheer you up as you sobbed. You wanted to understand why the hell he’d do that. Why he’d risk your relationship of 4 years all for a girl who’s barely legal. You wonder how long he’s been letting this happen? If she’s the only girl?
“Fuck Keigo,” Rumi says harshly.
“I tried that- didn’t work out so well in the end,” You say slightly amused. She laughs lightly.
“That’s the spirit babe,” She says, “he sucks- but he’s a learning exprience. Now you can go find a guy who treats you right-”
“Or I can burn his apartment down,” You say harshly.
“That’s an option,” She says, “I’m sure you’re dad will love that one. Mr. Hero Commission watching his sweet daughter burn her fiancé’s house to the ground.”
“You think he’d let that get out?” You ask her slightly amused, “man would have that covered up in a heart beat.”
“Well as much as I love the arson- let’s think smaller,” Rumi says, “like moving on... Show him what he lost.... And he lost the hottest bitch he’ll ever see.” You chuckle through the light tears. Moving to wipe them away. “Now no tears- pretty bitches down cry over fuck boys.” I laugh lightly. “Step one to cheering up is get under some hot guy- how’s Zawa sounding?”
“As much as I’d love to tread that wave of daddy issues- I can’t even think about that right now,” You say sadly, “Hawks and I were supposed to get married! I spent our entire relationship defending him from people telling me it would end up this way. I feel stupid.”
“That’s not your fault,” Rumi says, “you love him... Besides you aren’t the only girl who’s ever gotten hurt this way... Heroes fucking suck. Whores... All of them. They’ll stick it in anything that has a pulse- and even that’s not stopping them sometimes.”
“Ew,” You chuckle sadly. She starts to laugh. 
“Bird man sucks- and you deserve so much more,” She tells you, “I promise you that this will only bring you closer to the guy who’s gonna treat you right.”
“Thanks Rumi,” You tell her. She moves pulling you into a hug.
“Any time song bird,” She says. When she pulls back she gives you a firm look. “Now go to bed- we’ve got moving out to do tomorrow.”
“Fine,” You tell her. 
You try to head to sleep. You really do. But you barely get a wink when the sun starts shining through the large windows in Rumi’s living room. Outside you can hear birds chirping. The sound fills you to your core with anger. Stupid birds... Stupid Hawks. You toss a shoe at the window. The birds immediately flee. 
“I know the man with wings fuck you over but don’t take it out on the birds,” Rumi says chuckling lightly. You look back to see her in the kitchen. She’s in her hero costume. Her bunny ears standing tall. “Morning song bird.”
“Ew” You groan, “I don’t want to hear that nickname ever again.”
“Oh come on I called you that before he who shall not be named ever did,” Rumi says, “your mother gave you that nickname. Don’t let him ruin it.”
“Too late,” You say as you stand from the couch. Moving over to grab a cup of coffee. Rumi rolls her eyes lightly at your comment. “I’m going to get my stuff- you still gonna be able to do that?”
“Sorry Y/n I got called in for patrols if you wanna wait here-”
“No I’m gonna go get a head start,” You tell her, “It’ll go faster that way anyways. You got any boxes?”
“No but Aizawa does- and he’s meeting us at yours to help move your stuff,” She says, “I’m giving you another chance to fuck him.” You roll your eyes roughly. “Come on! He’s hot- and before Hawks you would of killed to get under that man.”
“There was a lot I’d do pre hawks - but a lot of thats changed,” You tell her, “so I guess I’ll meet you there?” 
She heads out for work. And you go through the basics of getting ready. You had called your boss to tell them you needed the day for a family emergency. This was kinda a emergency. Honestly you just couldn’t handle needing to run around for everyone else after all of that.
The penthouse isn’t too far from Rumi’s house. It’s a ten minute taxi ride. You stand out in front of the door for a minute. Anger slowly filling you as your mind replays the events of last night. You shove it away and finally open the door. The light of the morning reveals what you didn’t notice last night. Napkins with lipstick on the table. A few spare feathers on the couch. Small signs of the build up. You scoff loudly. Marching back to your room. You’re thankful that the intern isn’t there. Even more thankful Hawks isn’t. You start in the closet first. Grabbing your clothes in armfuls and tossing them onto the floor of the bedroom. Next you move to the dresser. Pulling the drawers out to dump your belongings out. You can hear the soft moans fill your ears on repeat. Keigo calling her baby bird. Something he’s called you a million times. You growl lightly. Trying to focus on getting your things. As your grabbing the picture of you and your late mother you notice a picture of you and Keigo the night he proposed. You were so happy. He promised it would be you two for the rest of you life. You move grabbing the frame. You don’t even know why. But it doesn’t stay in your hands long. In a split second your slamming it against the wall. Then you move tossing the other ones of you and Keigo on the floor. Glass is everywhere. You don’t care. You rip the frames off the wall letting them smash as well. 
You calm down a bit. Moving to the bathroom to grab your stuff. However you catch yourself in the reflection. Smirking lightly as you catch the tube of lipstick on the counter. You uncap it and lean forward. Writing the word ‘Cheater’ across the glass in large red letters. Satisfied you toss the lipstick in your makeup bag then grab it to move it with the rest of your stuff. Next you move into the office. More pictures in frames around the room. You pull the down tossing them at the wall. Not caring about the scattering glass or the memories your destroying. You grab one of the markers from your desk to keep up with the redecoration. Scribbling ‘Whore’ ‘Player’ and other insults across the wall. You don’t care about what your doing. All you care about is the inconvence he’ll have cleaning this all up. 
You move dragging the marker along the walls as you head out to the kitchen. Opening the shelves to toss plates and bowls on the ground. 
“What the hell are you doing?”
You turn to see Keigo. He seems to be just walking in. He’s got his costume on. You smirk lightly as you drop a stack of plates on the ground. “Oops.”
“Y/n what the hell?!”
“You don’t like the redecoration? That’s a shame,” You say.
“Are you still mad?” 
You don’t answer. Instead you let the teapot you toss at his head answer for you. He barely ducks it.
“Listen what happened-”
You move throwing a mug at him. He steps out of the way and it smacks the floor behind him.
“It was an accident.”
“You accidentally fucked her?” You ask harshly, “oh that’s the dumbest excuse I’ve ever fucking heard.”
“I meant it was a mistake- I messed up.”
“Oh shut the fuck up Keigo,” You growl, “I don’t wanna hear it.”
“We need to talk about this- like adults not throw a tantrum!”
You angrily toss the toaster at him. He smacks it away from him. 
“You’re acting like a child!”
“You cheated on me!” You shout, “don’t give me that acting like a child shit.”
“I’m trying to talk to you and you’re throwing shit- so yeah you’re acting like a child,” He shouts back.
“Fine Keigo - what’s you’re excuse?” You ask him, “what lead you to this mistake?”
“You’re never around and I felt so alone-”
You don’t let him finish. You’re tossing the silverware drawer at him.
“You’re blaming you fucking your intern on me!” You scream, “oh my fucking god! You’re a joke.”
“Let me explain-”
“I- don’t- want- to - hear - it!” You scream in between tossing wine glasses at him. You’ve made a terrible mess of your kitchen. You couldn’t care less though. All you can think about is Keigo standing in front of you trying to blame him cheating all on you.  
“Stop throwing shit!”
“Keep your dick in your pants!” You scream back.
“Did this little tantrum make you feel better?”
“No!” You scream, “you broke my heart Keigo! You cheated on me! I can’t believe you don’t understand why I’m so upset-”
“I’m trying to explain-”
“You’re trying to blame me!”
“Just let me talk!”
“No!” I scream, “I don’t care! I don’t want to hear your stupid reason!”
“Baby bird I love you-”
“HOW DARE YOU CALM ME WHAT YOU CALLED HER!” I scream on the top of my lungs. Anger radiating off of me. “You stupid- fucking- asshole!” More of the kitchenware goes flying. He’s dodging them. Mumbling explanations. You stop. Laughing lightly. He watches you clearly confused. You grab the lamp from the table and toss it straight into the middle of the TV.
“Babe oh my god!”
“Shut the fuck up! I’m done! I’m done letting you walk all over me! Defending you when you clearly don’t deserve it! And I’m done trying to love you when you clearly don’t love me!”
You yank the ring off your finger and toss it at him.
“We’re done.” I say firmly. He looks at me. Tears starting to well in his eyes. Suddenly the anger fades. You just felt numb. Over it all.
“Hey Y/n- Oh my god.” 
You see Rumi and Shota at the door. Looking over the disaster of an apartment. Concern covering their faces.
“Are you okay?” Shota asks, “did he hurt you?”
You chuckle lightly.
“You think he did this?” You ask him, “I’m fine- Let’s get my shit and go... I don’t want to be here for another second.” You move past Hawks over to your friends. 
“But Baby Bird,” Hawks says lightly. You look back to the man. 
“Maybe next time you’ll think before you cheat-” You tell him, “see ya Bird Man.”

Ducktales: Terror of the Terra-Firmians!  (Lena Retrospective) (Commission by WeirdKev27): Launchpad Looses his Last Brain Cell and I Loose My Patience
Tumblr media
Welcome back Weblena Warriors to the second part of my look at everyone’s favorite Emo Teen Shadow Lesbian Duck... and probably the only one but hey, semantics, Shadow Into Light, which was made possible by viewers like you, the ultra humanite and a commission from WeirdKev27. Picking up where we left off, we have our first episode that has a different intended order than airing order. 
As most of you probably remember, but some of you who joined later might not be aware of the broadcast order for the first half of season one is, in the academic sense, pretty fucked. It’s not Darkwing Duck’s entirely fucked by a web of badger spiders and a queen snake on top to make it some sort of train situation, but by just sorta airing whatever episodes they wanted to, Disney messed with the character balance so Huey got less focus, not that he got a ton of focus this season but still, as well as leaning into the episodes focusing more on the kids with less involvement from the adults which gave the wrong impression about the series. While it IS very focused on the triplets and webby, the show isn’t entirely about them, but as Frank has mentioned a few times, Disney Channel apparently has this WEIRD thing where they assume kids won’t like stories starring the adult characters. 
Tumblr media
Yeah I’ve been wanting to talk about this for a while. Mostly how it’s so dumb I could swear Pauly Shore was an exec at Disney Channel. And he might be I don’t know what he’s doing these days and i’d like to keep it that way. For starters, the Scooge comics, while barely published in the US these days, are still popular globally and have appealed to kids and adults for generations and are mostly focused on him, with the kids in a supporting role and Ducktales, you know the thing your directly remaking here, was also mostly about him with the triplets supporting, if a bit less than the comics. Most of the Disney Afternoon was about adult characters, with any kids in side roles in the main cast. And it comes off entirely hypocritical of them to say this when the MCU is easily marvel’s biggest cash cow at the moment, and marvel properties have appealed to both kids and adults, like the duck comics, for decades. And if it’s because the marvel cartoons weren’t doing well , I’ll let you in on a little secret: Those didn’t do well because they looked bland and from what I’ve seen of them felt kind of bland, though I haven’t seen enough to fully judge. Kids LIKE adult characters as much as kid characters, and also like teen characters despite not being teens. Focusing on either is valid and while I LIKED Disney’s youth starring shows I also want another X-Men cartoon before I turn 50, and I bet kids would like that too, with the last one only failing because you bailed on it because you were throwing a hissy fit over fox having the movie rights, and do not get me started on that. Point is this argument is horse shit and should stay in the stables. 
So yeah I do think this episode came too soon and it’s placement effected it at the time and as such it dosen’t have the best rep with the fandom aside from the Lena bits and that includes me. The fact it was very early in the series and the characterizations hadn’t yet sunk in really hurt this episode in places but is it really that bad? Join me under the cut to find out
Tumblr media
We open at the movies! Which scrooge apparently hasn’t been too since the 1930′s or seen any on video despite Della existing and being really stubborn. 
Tumblr media
A rant for another episode. But the kids just got out of a Mole Monster movie, along with Lena, Beakly and Launchpad. Their reactions are as follows: Lena, Webby and Dewey really enjoyed it, Huey found it unrealistic... says the boy whose uncle fought a dragon made of gold a month or two back but we’ll get to that, and Louie was bored and felt it didn’t have enough of the ultra violence, kids these days it’s not about the gore it’s about the tension. And Beakly.. is just pissed Lena tricked them into seeing this and said it was educational. And the more I think about it the more this sounds like BEAKLYS fault than Lena’s. BEAKLY is the one who likely bought the tickets, who saw it was likely an r or pg-13 and who as we’ve seen HAS A PHONE, and ulnike scrooge probably isn’t so stingy she wouldn’t spring for a smart phone, so she could’ve just googled it, or whatever bird related pun is in this version.. gandered it.. yeah let’s go with that, gandered it, and SEEEN it wasn’t appropriate or walked htem out of the theater and ate the cost if she was that bothered by it. Sitting through a Horror Movie you didn’t research, didn’t pull the kids out of and dind’t bother to even check the poster for or use basic common sense is YOUR fault. And this could’ve worked fine, had Lena talk the kids into begging for it or had launchpad take them and have Beakly find out after, having driven to pick them up as she didn’t trust launchpad to take them home. Instead it makes the former super spy look REALLY stupid and feels really out of character for a SPY to not to do research. And it wasn’t like they decided on this later, Bentina being a spy was part of the character’s backstory from day one and its made clear as early as episode 2 in both airing orders. This is just lazy writing to justify the episode and I expect better from this crew. 
But an argument errupts between Huey and Webby over the Terra-Firmians, a hidden race of rock people living in Duckburg’s discontinued sewer system, allegedlys. So Lena suggest simply going down which gets a disapproving look from Beakly, despite you know this being their bread and butter, and the fact that if she had a problem with Scrooge not being involved.. she could just call him. Exploring fabled rock people is something he’d be into. I mean there’s a low profit margin but it also costs him almost nothing to walk to the theater or have launchpad swing around and pick him up. Just gas which given how much he pays for jet fuel isn’t a big ask. But Beakly soon gets distracted by Launchpad whose convinced the film is real and is attacking the poster a grim sign of things to come as while Beakly annoyed me in this one on rewatch, especially after realizing the above... Launchpad annoyed me both times and for VERY good reason we’ll get into. This provides a distraction and allows the trio to escape. Cue titles. 
After the title sequence, our heroes head deeper underground, there’s too much panic in this town... I mean props to Donald for trying something new but he really needs to rethink his cologne choices. Sex Panther is just.. not a good smell on.. anyone. 
So our heroes journey through the depths of the subway system, and we find out part of why Huey’s so skeptical, as he finds anything that isn’t in the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook to not exist, though the cracks in this already show as he’s added anything that does. We’ll get back to this later but as you can tell the basic dynamic for 24 minutes is Webby being a wholehearted True Believer and Huey being a Skeptical Sally. And Lena is just sorta “Eh gives me an excuse for shenanigans” about it. We also get a peak into webby’s mind as we see her notes .. which really just come off as Terra-Firmian fanfiction involving a war of succession between two sides, the terra’s and the firmies, something based on previous media, and also some doodles of a fictional candy called webby-dings and herself as a superhero, both things I want to see. 
But yeah the first third of the episode is pretty simple, just them journeying, the occasional shift in the firmament, and it’s not bad, and there are a few great bits: Huey nerds out about rocks, and finds them way more interesting than a possible rock monster.
Tumblr media
Which leads to the best gag of the episode as when Huey tries to pick up a big sample Webby, annoyed at his hyperfixation on the JWG, asks him to ask his book for help.. which he does by reading it and actually manages to pick the large rock up. This is halted though when Lena screams.. though she really just did it to draw them to an abandoned subway car full of glomgold posters for glomgold products because of course a failed subway project has his name plastered over it. You can’t spell glomgold without failure.. the failure is silent. Glomgold is not. 
The fun is interuptted though by a livid Beakly who had realized they were missing in an earlier scene, after telling the Manager that McDuck Industries would pay for the poster.. and then found out Launchpad also destroyed the toilets “They come up thorugh the sewers!”. Launchpad that’s CHUDS, Ninja Turtles and Rats who raised Ninja Turtles like their own sons, mole people dig or use old mineshafts. It’s basic mole science. Also Beakly really shouldn’t sweat it, I just assumed the city has had a runnig bill witht he company for “McDuck Family and Employee Related Accidents, Mayhem and Shenanigans”. I mean he’s had Gyro on his payroll for at least a decade and a half by the series start, Gyro has leveled whole sections of city in an afternoon more than most giant monsters. Of which several have destroyed Duckburg. It got better. 
Point is she’s livid about them sneaking off with Lena pointing out their some sort of adventure family and Beakly.. saying she won’t see them again, or at least implying it hard. I’ll put a pin in this, as the train buckles and a bit of seismic, or rock men, activity means their stuck. So they divide into teams: Beakly will go try and unhook the train car from the busted cars so they can ride out, Launchpad will go try and fix it, and we get this lovely exxchange as a result
Launchpad: Cool never crashed a train before Beakly: Can’t you try driving it without crashing it? Launchpad: Wha? 
His face in that scene is priceless. He takes Dewey along. More on that in a second. Webby, Huey and Louie are told to stay put with Beakly only bringing Lena along because she dosen’t trust her. So since we have three split plots for a second... let’s split up gang, starting with the most aggrivating, middling with what you all came here for and why this is part of the retrsopective, and ending with the plot that directly heads into the final part of the episode. 
Launchpad and Dewey: GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Okay starting with the most infamous plot and easily the worst part of this episode, probably the worst plot in any Ducktales 2017 episode. That’s not hyperbole it’s really that bad and really pissed people off, as fans of the original launchpad felt they made him overly stupid. This is where the airing order’s a problem as putting an episode with a subplot where one of your characters is obnoxiously dumb right up front means they assume this is his charcter and not just one poorly written chapter in a very dumb but very loveable characters life, likely because the writers hadn’t figured out how to properly scale his stupidity with comptience. 
So as a result we get a good 3-4 mintutes if not agonizingly more of Launchpad assuming something he saw in a fucking movie film was real. That.. that’s his actual plot. Need I remind you, he’s in his late 20′s early 30′s. He’s not much older than me. While other episodes have him as dim this one claims he CAN’T TELL FACT FROM FICTION. 
Tumblr media
There are lines you have to keep with your characters to keep the audience from hating them. They crossed it about 80 times with this plot and make Launchpad into a gibbering dunderhead who can’t do anything right versus a regular dunderhead whose good at one or two things and loveable enough for us to like him and not care about his numerous safey violations and child endagerment charges. Thankfully this is the ONLY episode that gets this bad and they clearly learned from this, but it dosen’t make it any less of a tough sit. 
Dewey spends most of the subplot with a look on his face that just screams that he’s as done with this bullshit as we are, as Launchpad assumes he’s a mole person and brought along a pipe to presumibly bludgeon him, because wanting to cave his best friends skull in over stupidity is a GREAT look> Thankfuly he does not. And when the lights come back on Launchpad.. assumes he’s a monster because of bright light, GAH, and locks him out before they end up outside and the plto resolves itself by Dewey pointing out by Launchpad’s utterly baffling logic that he could be a mole monster, so Launchpad.. assumes he is. 
Tumblr media
The subplot’s later buttoned up as he claims “I love being a mole monster”, again diffrent subteranian creature launchpad, she says he’s not and my suffering is thankfully at an end. This plot just sucks, it’s bad, overly stupid and dosen’t work with an adult character. Someone like say Ed from Ed, Edd N Eddy, or someone who belivies in weird conspiracy stuff like Dale Gribble or Stan Pines. with either of them this plot would’ve been fucking great. I could buy it from Dale and it just comes off as his normal paranoid weirdness. With Launchpad it comes off like he seriously needs help because the episode frames it as if he can’t tell ficton from reality, and his splotlight episode later would directly contridct this and make this episode even more aggrivating, as he’s a fan of Darkwing Duck, and KNOWS it’s acted out by an actor, so why wouldn’t he get this? It’s just....
Tumblr media
It sucks, it sucks and I thankfully get to move on to a better subplot
Beakly and Lena: What You Are in the Dark
Beakly tells Lena she’ll never see Webby again after this.. then chastises her when she won’t help despite you know having just said she’s going to force their friendship apart, which Lena points out. She then gets mad at Lena making a sarcastic comment at her. Okay she’s lived with Louie for at least a week in airing order and a month or two in actual order. She has to be used to this by now. She’s insolent.. because you show her no respect, blame her for something that while sure she talked you into, you should’ve known better, and top it off by saying you want to keep her from the kids because they have bright futures and come from good familes and asks who rasied her and her face.. well.
Tumblr media
Yeah wheras Launchpad and Huey, more on that in a second, were hurt by this being some of their earliest big roles, Bentina wasn’t.. until later when we found out just HOW bad Magica is to Lena and how much she dosen’t care about her other than as a tool to use. At this point we didn’t know just how much Lena was playing webby, how much she was only manipulating her, and even with her heroic act here we didn’t know if she only saw Webby as her way to break free. The next episode makes it clear she dosen’t and genuinely does care, 100%, so in hindsight it makes Bentina come off as ghoulsih for horribly asssuming about a girl she dosen’t know, and even if she did know about Magica wouldn’t know the full story, just like us, and then BERATING her after already saying she’s going to rip her away from Webby, which itself is PRETTY bad as she’s the only friend the girl has and sh’es doing so on... talking them into a horror movie, which as I outlined was more Bentina’s fault than Lena’s, and leading the kids into a dangerous place whicha gain, Lena pointed out is something she lets Scrooge do. And trust me i know that she actually knows Scrooge, and we later find out, as we’ll cover next month, that she isn’t ware HOW dangerous things are with Scrooge. It dosen’t change the fact she knows they do dangerous stuff to a point and that Lena may just be acting out. It also dosen’t change the fact she drove three children, yes including launchpad, down here with her instead of sending them home with Launchpad.. granted that option isn’t the safest but it’s safer than taking her with them thena cting like it’s ALL lena’s fault when three of the children, again including launchpad, are down there because of HER. Not Lena, HER. I’m harder on her because she’s older, wiser and was “raised properly” apparently. Though given the way she treats a random teen off the street she again knows nothing about and dind’t bother to ask... it begs the question. 
Tumblr media
IT’s a good question. I could see the classism coming from being raised in 40′s and 50′s britain, judging by the timeline.. but even then she’s seen the world, and while her nature is supscious, the classit bullshit makes no sense after presumibly working with, and later spymastering for, various agents of various backgrounds. How has she not dropped this in decades. Scrooge very clearly dropped the racisim and homophobia of his time, so it still stands  on her for not dropping this. And Lena’s hurt shows under hte mask for the first time, that beneath the snark and secrecy.. is just an abused teenager with nowhere else to go and no way out being bullied by an older woman whose cutting off the only light at the end of the tunnel nto for good reason but out of classist, overprotective mallice.  My issues, which to be fair probably were intentional in the episode but sitll are a bit overblown, aside we do get an absoluttley tremendous moment later as a car falls on top of Beakly.. and Magica, speaking once more urges Lena to leave her, let her die and let their plans progress. And while that iself is.. dumb, what if someone finds her or her corpse later, especially since Scrooge would likely perosnally want to retrive the body to give her a proper burial as she’s his only friend at this point, or the rest of the family questoin the story?, it fits Magica’s lack of foresight we see throughout the season. But Lena... saves her. While she later gives an explination, and a valid one at that, it’s clear from her expressoin, her actoins and how she does it... that this is her. Part of it is defiance, as she glares at Magica before doing it, her own stubborn nature mixed with her hatred of her “aunt”, meaning Magica just made it all too easy for her to do this. But the real reason is clear: It’s the right thing to do. While pissing off her aunt and getting away with it is the cherry on top.. the real reason is that unlike Magica.. Lena is not a killer, not a monster, and not a heartless vacum ofa person. Even if she doesn’t like Beakly, for good reason.. she can’t, she WON’T leave her to die and leave Webby an orphan again. She loves Webby too much to do that to her and while she may deny it.. she’s too good a person to leave someone to die for something so petty. Even if she never sees webby again and the plans ruined. It’s better than the weight of knowing she let someone who wasn’t trying to harm her and whose actions, while terrible, were out of misguided protection of her granddaughter, die like this. She saves her. And as we’ll see it pays off.. but before that. 
Huey, Webby and Louie: Into the Unknown This plot’s a bit shorter, as Webby and Huey continue their argument, with Louie eventually making it clear, and not even hiding it when directly asked by Huey, that he’s playing both sides with a delighted expression on his face as the movie was boring but this, this is interesting. Which it is. But it’s interupted by dings on the roof and while Huey assumes i’ts just a regular rock, it moves while their not lookiung.. and soon red eyed, horrifying beasts look out at them and the kids flee back to the car. This dosen’t pan out as the car starts to shake and is clearly going to collapse.. and while Webby and Louie are prepared to flee, rock monsters or no, Huey, in an utterly heart shattering image.. stays in place, terrified of moving. 
This is where this plot goes from mildly aggrivating, as Huey’s Skeptic shenanigans can get on the nerves.. to BRILLIANT. See at the time this was more annoying because it was assumed the skepticsim would be a part of Huey’s character and we’d get more episodes of him being annoying only to be proven wrong, as he semeingly dosen’t learn his lesson at this point, looging the terrafrimians in the guide book. But on rewatch.. this plot is amazing.  For starters the plot subtly introduced the defening characteristic of Huey’s personality, one that’s become more prounounced in Season 3: His need for Order. He needs things to make sense: He solves stuff because he likes there to be order in the world and something he can understand, he can put in a box in his head. Like a lot of neurotypical people, myself included, he struggles horribly when the clearly defined boxes of his life and things he undestand have wrinkles or complexities he can’t get. I for instnace easily got it when I was introduced to the concept of trans people or being non binary.. they just make sense in hindsight: given how our brains are messya nd complicated it makes sense some people would be born in the wrong ones, and tht with all the science and medicine we have to correct that, should be allowed to transition if they so choose. It makes equal sense that some people just don’t have a gender or are gender fluid, being both or neither. Despite struggling with non binary prounouns due to force of habit.. I get the concept with no real difficulty. But when it comes to accepting I don’t have to apologize for everything and that everyone is not angry or that anger is natural and people sometimes get mad and you can’t and shouldnt’ fix it.. it’s something I STRUGGLE with even knowing it’s not right, because my brain is just wired that way. 
That’s how Huey’s struggle comes off here.. he reveals he’s willing to stay and die.. because he’s SO scared of the unknown, that the idea of dying from something he at least knows what it is versus something he dosen’t.., so paralizyed by his own brain he can’t figure out the obvious.. it takes Webby reaching out to him figuratively and literally, to show him that sometimes you have to face the unknown. The unknown is fucking terrifying.. but it can be good and it’s better than sitting there, scared and unable to move. You have to try, to grow and take that risk that things may not go well to really LIVE. 
So he does.. and they reunite with the rest of the group.. and soon find the terrafirmains.. who as it turns out once we get some light on them... are actually just goofy looking,  brightly colored, each one matching one of the kids, kids themselves, and Huey reaches out and touches one, which by ET logic means their friends now, and the terrafirmians help them get out. And this lesson sticks. While sure Huey catalogues it and it seems it didn’t.. he’s never this skeptical again. This douchey skepticsim was only for one episode, his fear of the uknown replcaed with boundless curosity and from here on he’s CURIOUS about new stuff as long as it’s not trying to kill him. He loves taking in new experinces, maybe not to webby levels but he does actually try them and study them instead of just fearing them. 
Before we wrap things up, obviously we need to talk about the JWG not having entries on a lot of stuff. This would be corrected next season as it returns to being a big book of everything, but dosen’t completely contridct this as Timephoon! shows there’s stillcgaps.. which i’m fine with. While it knowing EVERYTHING was fine for the original series here, with things being slightly more groudned, it’d just be an obvious plothole if Huey didn’t use it every single time they ran into something and that’d get boring. Instead it’s simply that it dosen’t know everything, and really in the comics at times it didn’t and the triplets found out new things. It knew almost everything mind you, but having some gaps for dramatic tnesion is fine with me and Seasons 2 and 3 decided on that instead of just having it being a scouting manual which wa sfor the best. And even by later in the season hit has guides to getting a small buisness loan, so they already course corrected. 
So everything’s wrapped up and while Magica berates Lena for disobeying her.. Beakly interputps, thankfully not seeing magica and admits she was wrong and invites Lena for pancakes, even taking a crack about if their actually pancakes or english muffins with syrup, which sounds like my own living hell, in stride, having clearly grown. And Lena explains to Magica that this was the better approach: now she’s got the in theyw anted, and is above suspcison for now. Still not so much that an obvious act won’t be detected but enough that she dosen’t ahve to work actively around her anymore. Magica scoffs.. and while part of it is probably rage.. part of it is deep down both of them know she did it out of defiance.. and only Lena knows that she did it for the right reasons... she just dosen’t get why. She probably justifies it as playing the long game.. but deep down she knows something’s changing about her.. and she’s not sure if that’s a godo thing or not. 
Final Thoughts: This episode is as you can tell a mixed bag. It’s 2/3 of a good episode, with the Lena plot, my issues aside, being excellent and the Terra-Firmian plot likewise fun, even if Huey can get grating the payoff is worth it, and the jokes are really high quality. It’s just bogged down by that fucking launchpad plot that just crushed my soul in it’s palms every time it came back. I went on at length why i hated that one but boy oh boy was the hate of that subplot warranted and I stand by calling it the worst plot of the series. It is: it’s not funny, it makes no goddamn sense, and it drags down what’s otherwise a pretty solid epsiode.
Next Time on Lena: Jaws the shark, lurking in the dark, in the depths of the bin one day of a lark decides to get rowdy, get real violent takes a vacay out to Duckburg er.. Island.. also Scrooge faces his greatest Nemesis.. a PR Tour to clean up his image after an unfortunate giant Beanstalk Incident. Be there and be hip to be square. 
Next Time on This Blog: I Tackle a DCOM for the first time for another commissioned review as we take a look at racisim, specifically Apartheid and breaking indoctrination, with The Color of Friendship. See you next Rainbow.

Commissions OPEN
Hey everyone! 💛
So in my most recent post, I mentioned doing commissions for character pages (just to start out). You guys show love to my art, even as I’m practicing and posting here and there. Even expressing you would pay for it. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into opening to commissions and I’ve decided to open.
I’m gonna start out slow (because I do have classes and would have to take breaks and such) so I’m going to open 3 slots at a time. Once I feel like I feel comfortable doing these, I’ll most likely increase this. -Maybe even expand the commissions to couples and friend based art. But that’s LATER-
Price will range from $15 (Bust, Head to Chest down) to $25 (Full Body). Payments will made by either CashApp or PayPal.
So this what the Character Page will consist of:
-A drawing of your MC
-Your MC’s name
-Their House, Preferred Pronouns, Age (Optional), Zodiac, Height
-Their O.W.L.S. (Or how well verse they are in each 
-Some Fun Facts about them
-Wand (OPITONAL) (I’m gonna need a basic wand design to work with so I have an idea of what I’m working with)
***One thing I value is communication. We can go into detail in how you want your character page to look like. I want you to be able to get your money’s worth. What outfit do you want them in (could be causal or something school uniform related)? Color of the background? Style font for their name (the rest of words will be in my handwriting)? What information you want to add? And so on. Send me references so I have idea of what you want me to draw. An in game face claim helps too! If you have a specific pose in mind, be sure to send that too! 🤗***
I’ll be sure to send you my final sketch before I start working on it on my tablet so you can be involved in process 😊
Down below an example of what the Character Page will most likely look like (also say hi to my MC 💛):
Tumblr media
I would appreciate if you could share this post to get the word around! I really want to give this a fair short.
SLOTS:
1) OPEN 2) OPEN 3) OPEN

It’s About the DRAMA [Sumeragi Tenma] [Pt. 2]
(Second NSFW part to the Tenma commission I did! Please enjoy~)
Even after two entire years Tenma found his heart still beat for you.
When he was around you he could hardly think straight but he was so addicted to the feelings you gave him, the true happiness he felt at seeing you smile or hearing you laugh, he couldn’t pull away. He’s plagued at night by thoughts of you, of thoughts of what could be if he could strike up the courage to ask you on a real date and not just to ‘hang out’. He always went in with the intentions of revealing his feelings, like when he’d invited you out to karaoke that one night and sang a love song that felt reminiscent of this particular situation with you, but everyone and their mother seemed to get in the way. The meaning of the song completely flew over your head and you’d complimented his singing voice, teasing about the next production being a musical starring him.
A few days after the karaoke catastrophe he’d been trying to think of a good way to confess his feelings but could think of nothing that didn’t make him feel pathetic, knowing feeling like this was natural but still hating how soft it made him look. Did women even like men who got this emotional and romantic when it came to him? His naturally abrasive self had been far too used to people fawning over him no matter how he acted but if it was his fame they fell for and not him or his actions, then it wasn’t real love, was it? Just infatuation. It’s the reason why he’d kept his distance in the dating world for so long despite all the interest in him as young handsome actor.
Or at least one of the reasons.
While he was stuck in his thoughts about his sad dating life Banri had entered the kitchen, starting a welcome conversation about clothing styles that served as a distraction for about two minutes. Said distraction quickly fizzled out when you entered the room looking more stunning than Tenma thinks he’d ever seen you, the dress you’re wearing hugging every curve of your body and leaving only the best bits to his imagination. Banri was quietly appreciating you too but was far less obvious about it than Tenma, glancing over at his friend and smirking as Tenma’s eyes drifted down to your ass the moment you’d turned around.
“Keep it together, man.” Banri elbowed him which caused Tenma’s head to snap back up, just in time for you to turn around and face them. “Where are you going lookin’ like that?”
“Out with friends. That okay, dad?” You stuck your tongue out at Banri who fired off some comment about how it was hard to believe you had a life outside the company but Tenma wasn’t listening, not really. Now his thoughts were just plagued with the thoughts of wining and dining you, but the actions that took place after said wining and dining had finished for the night. It’s taking all the will power he had to keep his jaw from hitting the ground when you swung around once more, grabbing a jacket before waving to the two men in the kitchen and being on your way. He wanted desperately to call out your name, to bring you back so he could soak in your beauty for just another second, but you were gone before he’d found his voice again.
“The hell was that about?” Banri was looking at him incredulously, “You stared so hard your eyes could’ve fallen out of your head. You got it that bad for her?”
“…Huh?” Tenma wasn’t listening again, now he was desperately fighting a losing battle against his dick. “Yeah, whatever.”
Banri doesn’t say anything else but it’s clear he’d picked up on all the signals Tenma had been sending your way, not really knowing how to help his friend out if he couldn’t even admit the feelings were there. He simply stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked away, leaving Tenma standing at the counter for a few more minutes, not even realizing he’s alone. When Tenma finally noticed Banri was gone he didn’t feel so self-conscious about the bulge in his pants, making a mad dash for his room and hoping he didn’t run into any other troupe member on the way there. It was the weekend so most were either holed up in their room getting much needed rest or out and about having fun until it was time to be back to business.
Tenma had never been more grateful that Yuki was a shopaholic as he clambered into his bed, leaving the room empty so that Tenma could handle his business. He hardly found the energy to masturbate but when he did he knew how to be quick about it, something very necessary for living in this dorm with a roommate who was almost always there.
Tenma glanced nervously at the door, worried about someone busting it down though there’d be no reason to do so; he could’ve locked it if he really wanted to but he didn’t feel like answering Yuki’s questions should the younger boy come home and not be able to get into his own room. Tenma’s hands slid down his pants and he rubbed his dick through his underwear, unzipping his jeans to give himself more room to work with and turning away from the door, just in case the whole ‘busting in’ scenario happened. It’s not comfortable enough so he decided on laying on his back, pants fully pulled down as his hand strokes up and down his length. He’s thinking about you, your ass, your mouth, your voice, everything that had to do with you was so incredibly attractive that he knew he’d come sooner rather than later as long as he kept up the pace. Your name slipped from his mouth, an accident, one that he didn’t think would cost him as dearly as it did.
“Tenma…?” The door creaked open but he didn’t process it quick enough, continuing to pump his length, finger stroking over the sensitive head when he realized your voice was no longer just in his head. His head whipped towards the door and he meets your eyes, his heart dropping down to the underworld as he realized you were staring at- “Fuck! I’m sorry!”
You hadn’t realized Yuki wasn’t in. Part of your jacket was ripped and you had simply wanted to come see if he could fix it up for you, having a replacement if need be, but instead you’d walked in on… An oddly attractive and incredibly embarrassing scene. You felt guilt seep into your bones at the horrified expression on Tenma’s face, watching as he rolled onto his side to fix himself quickly while trying to sputter out excuses that just wouldn’t form into full sentences; you couldn’t really blame him, this was probably in his top ten most mortifying moments now. You should’ve knocked, you know you should’ve, but now you knew that the carpet matched the drapes and that his dick was rather sizeable and-
You shouldn’t be thinking these things about him.
But hadn’t he been calling out your name?
Had he been thinking those things about you?
It wasn’t as though there were signs that Tenma might feel some type of way towards you. You’d seen him gaping at you in the kitchen and felt rather proud at his reaction, even turning around again to give him a view of all that you had; you hadn’t even realized you were showing off for him until you’d walked outside and the cool night air brought you back to reality. You weren’t in some sleazy romance novel, Tenma deserved romance and flirting and the whole shebang, not just sexual tension. Azuma had been the first one to bluntly point out that Tenma was clearly in love with you, head over heels, no doubt about it, and since Azuma seemed to be the expert in these you had truly wanted to believe him. You didn’t at first but the longer this tension between you and Tenma continued to grow… After this incident, after definitely hearing your name come from his mouth as he was certainly masturbating… Maybe you had to stop ignoring it.
Maybe you just had to deal with the fact Tenma loved you.
But how?
You don’t find an answer for another year.
Tenma’s career was in full swing meaning you rarely saw him around anymore, something that both broke your heart and brought some type of relief. As much as you wanted to confront him on his feelings you still hardly understood your own, nervous about the concept of dating someone younger than you, worried that you hadn’t interpreted the signs correctly. You had no doubt Tenma would be a good boyfriend but would you be good enough for him? It wasn’t to say you weren’t a good, loving person but would you be enough for Tenma? Popular, famous Tenma who practically had women throwing themselves at him left and right, who worked with gorgeous movie stars and was messaged by famous models daily?
He’d been gone about six months at this point but Summer Troupe’s annual play was coming around and he was ready to come home, to see his friends and live in the dorm once again. He’d contacted you and asked for you to pick him up, almost not bothering to send the text as he was still embarrassed by the entire masturbation situation. He didn’t think the moment would weigh so heavily on him but unless he was completely delusional, he was certain you’d stared at his dick until he’d turned around, not even bothering to look away (the same exact thing he’d done to your ass about ten minutes before). Did it mean something or was it just the shock? There was no easy way to get an answer and he hated that the most about this, about all of this romance crap.
The wind is knocked out of you when you see Tenma in the airport, walking towards you and Sakuya (one of the only free members who happily wanted to accompany you to get his fellow troupe leader) with his sunglasses and hat pulled down over his face. He somehow managed to keep growing even over such a short period of time, looking taller, more mature, more put-together… You realized you’re staring at him too long after he’s greeted you without saying anything in return and you forced a smile to your face.
“H-Hey there, hope that time with all the big wigs can help our play shine!”
“You know I always do my best.” His response was awkward but so was your previous statement so you can’t blame him. The walk back to the car is thankfully silent as it’s clear Tenma is quite exhausted and you wondered if he’d just fall asleep on the ride back, leaving even less room for you to make a fool of yourself.
“You really do seem more mature, Tenma,” You offered up another observation as he packed his bags into the back of the car. As much as you didn’t want to make yourself look stupid you had missed him dearly, those weekly phone calls not being enough to satisfy you. You used to talk to him every day, at least getting to see his face even if he was busy, but being overseas and filming left him too busy to keep that same routine. You understood why and you didn’t blame him but now that he was finally in front of you, you couldn’t just pass up the opportunity to talk or tease him like you used to.
“Ah, thanks…” He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, looking away from you, “You… don’t feel like you’ve changed at all.”
“What does that mean?”
“I-It’s not a bad thing.”
‘It’s like coming home,’ Tenma thought with a smile, ‘I am coming home, I guess…’
“You guys must’ve really missed each other, huh?” Sakuya laughed from the back seat as you and Tenma entered the car. “We all missed you but not as much as she did! Whenever we were having trouble figuring out a scene, she’d always say ‘I wish Tenma was here’ or something like that!”
Sakuya, as innocent as he was, was absolutely killing you right now.
“Do you have any stories about being on set? Ooh, what about the places you visited while you were away?” Sakuya interrupted the growing tension, leaning forward into the front seat and looking at Tenma curiously. He might’ve just put you out there but he’d saved you just as quick, successfully distracting Tenma who seemed more than happy to tell Sakuya of all the things he experienced while he was away. You listened in while you drove, enjoying both the sound of his voice and the content of his stories, pleased even more to hear that none of his time was spent with other women.
The dorm was buzzing with energy when Tenma finally arrived.
“Summon the troops up front Muku, a celebrity has finally arrived!”
Tenma smiled weakly at  your attempt at humor but there was still come clear tension left over, something he was quick to blame on jet lag. Why did seeing you again in person leave him breathless? Why did his heart ache even though you were right there in front of him, arm’s length away? The distance had done nothing to placate his feelings, perhaps making it even worse, and he finds himself selfishly wishing he could just have you all to himself for a night.
He’d missed everyone at Mankai without a doubt but you were a special case.
Tenma is bombarded with questions, he’s given gifts and poems and all sorts of things that the others had made for him while he was gone or to welcome him home. He’d never felt more loved in his life and as he accepted these gifts, cheeks red from embarrassment while he also made sure to thank each person who gave an offering, he noticed your were absent from the general hubbub. While Kazunari is rambling on about something or other Tenma scanned the area, eyes landing on the kitchen once he noticed it was where you were. You were casually talking with Omi, something that wasn’t exactly unusual, but today he was just off. Seeing you with Omi made him feel this bitter jealousy towards him, this irritation welling up until it clearly showed on his face.
“You okay?” Kazunari asked, head tilted in confusion.
“He’s probably tired from the trip,” Azuma offered up helpfully, and despite Tenma generally being on edge whenever the silver-haired man was around him, he felt relieved that he didn’t have to come up with an excuse himself. “Why don’t you head to your room to unpack and relax until dinner? One of us will fetch you when everything’s done I’m sure.”
Was being alone with his thoughts really what he needed right now?
Tenma discovered that it was in fact not what he needed or what he wanted, unable to get the image of Omi’s hand on your arm out of his head; it was as if he was being mocked, as if the universe was telling him ‘you missed your chance, buddy’. He wondered how close the two of you had gotten, wondered if you shared any longing looks or if you’d spent a night together and the relationship took off from there, all the things that he wanted to do with you but never got to because his damn pride always got in his way. The feelings of jealousy started to bubble over until he felt genuinely angry over something he knew he had no right to be upset about, pacing in his room, wanting dinner to just be over with so he could come back and brood some more.
Tenma knew something had to be done about his feelings for you.
Being himself wasn’t working, he kept overthinking his words, stumbling over them, not wanting to look as pathetic as he felt. So what if he pretended to be someone else? When he was in character he didn’t get overwhelmed by feelings, when he was in character he kept it together no matter how beautiful the actress acting opposite to him was, so maybe the solution had been dangling in front of his face this entire time. He doesn’t know when he’ll have the chance to enact this plan but the seed had been planted in his brain and he couldn’t get it out of his head. He had to confess to you even if it killed him, even if you rejected him and never looked at him in the same light again.
He had to let you know how he felt.
Practice began the next day and despite being told he could be a bit late, he insisted on being right on time. He had gotten plenty of rest and he was ready to get back to business, with acting being the one thing that always managed to distract him from his feelings. Being with the others again gave him his energy back and he started off the day ready to conquer, flipping through the script Tsuzuru had just barely managed to get into their hands before passing out on the ground. There were plenty of interesting themes, some redemption, two twin flames reuniting, the dialogue really speaking to Tenma’s spark for both drama and comedy. He’s assigned the lead role even as he protested it should go to someone like Misumi or Kazunari who fit the lead character far more but the group was just as stubborn as he was and with a sigh, he accepted that things were getting right back to business as usual.
Tenma was totally in his element, he was more than competent enough to take on the lead role in a stage play, so then why was he constantly obliterating his lines? He stuttered in the first read through, he forget to respond a few times (he was too busy looking at you as you read over the script, looking extra cute as you concentrated), he was thinking about his own confession monologue he’d started to plot out, he was just entirely distracted. And he couldn’t just push it down like he normally did, it kept rising to the top of his thoughts and it was truly beginning to screw him over. He can see the others are getting agitated but are unwilling to call him out, likely just blaming it on him not being used to being around them again, but it was so much more than that. With a frustrated wave of his hand Tenma dismissed himself from the practice.
“W-Where are you going?”
“I’m going to practice alone. I’ll… be back.” Tenma left the room in a hurry but just as he predicted you followed, reaching out to grab his arm and stop him from storming away so quickly. It made his heart jump in his chest, made him shiver at how warm your hand felt against his arm and he had to use all the self-control he had left not to pin you to the wall so he could crush his lips against yours.
“What’s wrong, Tenma? You can’t close yourself off like this. You know you need to talk it out!”
“I was supposed to come back with more experience to make this play a success and now all I can do it… Well, nothing! It feels like I’m back at square one again,” Tenma couldn’t help but be at least partially honest with his feelings, making sure to leave out the fact you were driving him absolutely crazy by just being this close to him. The kind, concerned look on your face squeezed his heart like a vice and when you squeezed his arm reassuringly he thought he might die then and there.
“I can see you need a reminder of the fact that I’m here for you and so is the rest of your troupe! You’ve grown up so much but you can’t just keep bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders without letting us in on how you’re feeling. If you know what’s wrong and it’s a problem you can solve then let us know! And even if we can’t solve it just tell us what it is! It can’t be that bad, can it?”
“You have no idea,” Tenma sighed, trying to subtly move his arm out of your grip. “…Can we go down to the theatre?”
“You missed it that much?” You tried to joke but Tenma was looking a little too serious for you to not feel nervous, simply nodding his head and beginning to walk without your confirmation. You’re worried about what might come next but you’d rather snuff the problem out sooner rather than later; you dipped your head back into the practice room to let the others know they could continue to read their lines and that you’d be back with Tenma soon, not noticing the looks they all exchanged.
Tenma is standing center stage when you find him, pacing back and forth, looking just as pensive as he had when you’d left him. He doesn’t even notice you’re there leaving you a moment to admire his handsome face, a handsome face you’d grown fond of and had missed dearly while he was gone. Seeing him at the airport had made you just want to wrap your arms around him and tell him he was never allowed to leave you like that again, that living daily life without him had just made things feel ‘off’, but you knew you could never say something so selfish. It wasn’t as though the two of you were even dating so what right did you have to even think those things about him? Ever since you’d walked in on him masturbating you’d seen him in an entirely different life, recognizing him not just as a troupe member but as a man, too.
The change left you uncomfortable, with feelings you didn’t know how to handle.
“No one else has ever encouraged me and believed in me like you have,” Tenma began to speak as you walked closer, his intense gaze making it hard to look away from him. “My parents want me to go back to daytime drama full time.”
“You know how I feel about your father so let’s not get into that…” Tenma smiled at the memory, never forgetting what it was like to have you so focused on him and doting over his wounds; it was the first time he ever realized he was in love with you, his strong romantic feelings for you truly coming to a head as you expressed your compassion. He was beginning to realize even more how he felt, that it wasn’t simply admiration but true love that he felt for you. You were someone he would be perfectly comfortable calling his soulmate, someone he could easily spend the rest of his life with and never regret it not matter how tough things got. If he was going to put it all on the table and finally address the elephant in the room, now was the time to do it, now when he was feeling so reassured that he’d be able to get his feelings across to you.
You joined him on stage, looking out at the empty seats before glancing over at him again as he began to talk.
“Can I act this thing out for you that I’ve been thinking about for a while?”
“Sure. Are you gonna be our new scriptwriter, too?” You teased.
“Not a chance. Just… give me a sec.” Tenma took a deep breath, running his fingers through his hair, his nervous energy infecting you as well.
“Y-You remember I’m not really a great actress, right? You didn’t forget that while you were gone?”
“I didn’t forget anything about you. I didn’t ask you to act so just… listen, alright?”
Another deep breath and you saw a switch flip in him, his face and shoulders growing more relaxed as he looked at you.
“The day that we met we fought like cats and dogs. I never thought the two of us would ever get along, never thought that I could ever see the positives or care about a person who only seemed to kick me when I was down. But I realized it was all about perspective. You weren’t kicking me but you were offering your hand, willing to help me figure out what I really needed to. I’ve dated other girls but none of them have ever held a candle to you. I started to realize they were never good enough because they were never you.”
That’s your name that he’s saying and it’s your hands he’s now holding, looking deep into your eyes with a penetrating gaze that left you feeling weak in the knees. You had suspected something was up at first but there was no way for you to refute it now, Tenma was without a doubt confessing feelings that you never knew he had. You have to applaud the bravery but the butterflies in your stomach are making you feel restless, the close proximity with the orange-haired man not helping you untangle the many thoughts you were having. How did you feel about Tenma? He’d managed to so eloquently sum up your relationship and how deeply he felt for you and yet you were still stumbling around in your own head trying to find the proper way to respond.
There’s one moment over these last few months that really stood out to you, the one night you’d been holed up with a few other Mankai members watching an interview Tenma was involved with. You’d seen that romance was one of the topic of discussions and suddenly found yourself even more interested, waiting with bated breath as the question of Tenma’s relationship status is questioned; he scoffed, blushed, and brushed off the question as being an unimportant one, completely irrelevant to the movie he was about to star in. But the interviewer was rather insistent on getting an answer, pressuring poor Tenma into at least giving him a bread crumb.
“I like someone but her and I aren’t together.”
You released a breath you didn’t know you’d been holding, receiving a knowing look from Banri who didn’t offer up anything snarky at the moment, turning back to watch the rest of the interview while you tried to calm your racing heart. That didn’t mean anything, right? He could like the actress he was on the job with, or any other number of women he interacted with on the daily, it didn’t mean he was talking about you but… Part of you hoped it was about you. You’d seen the way he looked at you before, you’d heard about the things he did just to have an excuse to talk to you but you’d always just amounted it to a schoolboy crush. But the Tenma standing before you now wasn’t just some kid, he was a hardworking adult who had matured over the years and who was confessing that his heart belonged to you.
You’re not an actor, you can’t come up with some dramatic dialogue with perfect metaphors for the love you felt for Tenma, but you were someone who shared his feelings and wanted to let him know that. Tenma went to pull away from you but before his hands can escape your grip you squeezed them, taking a step forward into his personal space, something you had always been careful about not doing before. You looked into his eyes, searching for something, hoping that none of this would turn out to just actually be some fake scene he wanted to act out but with the fondness he’s looking at you with now you knew his feelings had to be true. Or he had to be an even more talented actor than you’d originally thought but you were hoping you weren’t about to make a fool of yourself.
Leaning forward your lips brushed against his and Tenma followed through with your movement, quickly releasing your hands to hold either side of your face. He didn’t want you to pull away until he had his feel, his heart beating so loudly he’s sure you can hear it. This is a moment he’d dreamed of for years and you tasted so much sweeter than he ever expected, your lips ridiculously soft and potentially addicting. He could get lost in the feeling of holding you against him, his lungs beginning to burn from how long it’d been since he’d last took a breath, but he couldn’t find it in him to pull away from you. You seemed to feel the same as you made no move to dismiss him, kissing him back with just as much fervor, your hands grabbing onto his shirt and digging into the soft material to anchor him to you.
When you pulled away you were glad to see the cool guy façade he’d had up during his confession had completely disappeared, a dark blush adorned his face and left him looking even cuter than usual. You’re sure your face matches his in more ways than one but what does it matter now that you had him?
“I want… Please, be my girlfriend?” He’s looking away from you, unable to meet your eyes as though that was the most embarrassing thing he’d ever done in front of you. You could bring up the masturbation incident but you figured that’d just ruin the mood.
“I think I can do that.” You leaned in to press a few more kisses to his lips, Tenma deepening them each time you attempted to pull away. Finally you block his lips with your hand, sending him a playful smile. “The others are waiting for us! We need to get back to business or we’ll just spend all day in here…”
“I could live with that.”
“Well I can’t! Now let’s get back and smooth out this performance, lover boy.”
~*~
This was riskier than you’d ever taken it but you missed your boyfriend dearly.
Tenma let out a soft groan as you grinded your lower body against his, dick already fighting with the costume he was wearing in an attempt to reach your warmth which seemed so close yet so far away. You couldn’t help but laugh as he started to strip you of your clothes, shaking your head as that would be too dangerous a thing to do while you were trying to get busy in his make-up trailer. Instead, you lower the top part of the dress (thankfully, it was stretchy as well as flowy) to show off your bare chest and slid your underwear down your leg, stuffing them into his pocket before you started to fumble with the zipper.
Tenma cursed as you released his dick from its prison, straddling his lap once more and using his shoulders to slowly lower yourself onto him. You both gasped at the same time, Tenma’s head falling back and brushing against the side of the trailer as he squeezed his eyes shut and willed himself not to come quite yet. He knew it had to move quick as he didn’t know when someone would fetch him for his next scene but he had to savor how wonderful it felt to be inside you, how gorgeous you looked bouncing on his cock, your chest in his face as his hands reached around to grip at your ass. All he can think about is how sexy you are, how lucky he is to see you like this, groaning into your chest before he caught one of your nipples in his mouth. Your moan of approval only fuels him further, with Tenma taking control from under you by thrusting up and changing the rhythm entirely. He’s a bit rougher and more aggressive, hips angling to find that sweet spot inside you, tongue still toying with your hardened nipple when it all comes crashing down around him.
A knock on the trailer door caused you to jump off his lap instantly, his dick aching from the loss of contact even if his brain knew he had to scramble to get it together. He pushed you out of view of the door as he fixed himself, taking a quick glance in the mirror and hastily fixing himself before he opened said door. You did your best to stay out sight, fixing yourself just in case the assistant found their way inside and listening to the conversation your boyfriend was having. He was being rather curt but it was clear he was annoyed at being interrupted, and the only thing you get from him is an apologetic look before he leaves the trailer to go back to set.
You waited a few more minutes until things were truly quiet to get moving, sneaking your way from the trailer and seeing yourself out of the studio without further interruption. You wonder how frightened Tenma was about all of that, trying to think of what might hurt his reputation more; discovering that he was dating his director or them assuming you were just some random girl he’d called into his trailer to have sex with. Neither option seemed to be positive but… You and Tenma hadn’t talked much about the secretive nature of your relationship lately. You’d just recently overcome an issue in the relationship but it seemed like a new one was always willing to pop up when you least expected it. You tried to push this to the back of your mind, knowing Tenma wasn’t ashamed of you and that he did truly love you, but you still had to wonder if he ever thought about what would happen if the two of you really did get caught.
Surprisingly, you’re not the one to bring up the topic.
“I was asked if I had a girlfriend today.” Tenma had been showing clear signs of agitation, playing with the food on his plate instead of eating it. You had been patiently waiting for him to open up knowing if you approached the topic without him being the first one to speak he’d just close himself off and you might never know what was on his mind.
“What did you say?”
“I said… I said that I did.” Tenma looked in your eyes, searching for any sign of emotion; you simply looked surprised but that didn’t tell him if it was a happy surprised or a disappointed one.
He had thought making your relationship a secret was just as beneficial for you as it was him, in fact, he had done this entirely for you. Dating a celebrity was an entirely different world, even if you knew the real him and he wouldn’t suddenly change into a different person having the world prying into your romance might not have made things go as smoothly as they had been. The relationship had bumps in the road but things had always managed to work out, but would that have the same outcome if the tabloids and paparazzi were involved? Would you have been as willing to be patient with him? Would you even find any pleasure in being with him if your relationship was in the public eye? These questions scared him. He knew he should’ve been honest about it from the start but in the end, he continued to run from his feelings and even ignore the fact they existed.
But Tenma had to stop running.
He was tired.
He didn’t want to run anymore.
“We’ve almost been together a year now and I want to… I want to be able to post a picture of us. I want to make an annoying post like all those celebrities who think they have better love lives than the rest of us and I want people to be jealous that I have you all to myself. I know I’m the one who wanted us to be secret but I…” Tenma’s fingers tapped nervously against the table, his plate of food fully pushed away as you quietly listened to him. “I don’t want us to be a secret anymore. I hate hiding things from everyone. I hate not being able to hold your hand in public. When we go places together I don’t want to have to be paranoid anymore. You understand how I feel, don’t you?”
“Of course I understand. Don’t you think I want the same things you do?” You stood up from your place across the table, circling around it to stand behind Tenma who’s shoulders were sagging. You could tell this was something he’d thought about more than he let on and if you were being honest, you were proud of him for managing to speak so honestly about his feelings with you. It was hard for him to articulate exactly how he felt much of the time but he’d managed to get his feelings across to you perfectly. “I don’t want to be a secret anymore either, handsome.”
Tenma leaned back into your arms as you hugged him from behind, your chin resting comfortably on his head.
“I’ll post about it then. On our anniversary.”
“I look forward to seeing what the sappy movie star has to say about me!”
You were not at all disappointed to see the post on Instablam the following week, nor were you surprised at the responses it received from some of your Mankai friends. Kazunari posted ‘KNEW IT’ with approximately a million exclamation points, Muku posted a heart emoji, Itaru posted ‘grats’, and you’re sure there are many others buried among the comments from his fans who were both disappointed and excited to see the star they loved in a happy relationship. He had warned you not to get too lost in the comments so you didn’t linger long, re-reading his post over and over again and smiling at the fact he chose to post the very first selfie you’d ever taken together. He might say he’s not good at being romantic but you knew he was a natural when he learned to just listen to what his heart told him.
There might still be many trials and tribulations for the two of you to overcome the longer you were together but you were happy, happier than you’d ever been, and you knew every bit of trouble was worth it.

Playing Dangerous
Prosciutto x F!Reader x Bruno
Word count: 3,024
warnings: afab reader, double penetration, double penetration in one hole, creampies, multiple creampies, blowjobs, rough sex, slight dub-con.
It was your fault really, that two opposite gang members of Passione fell for you. Your looks were practically irresistible to both Bruno Bucciarati and Prosciutto. If there was one thing you should never do though; it was to fuck with both men at the same time. Passione was not an organization to take lightly, especially when it came to the infamous assassination squad and Bruno’s gang  - both were equally as dangerous.
It was almost comedic how you found yourself in-between two dangerous men from two notorious gangs.
You could feel Prosciutto behind you, and were cut off by his big hand snaking across your mouth. “Don’t speak unless we tell you to, slut.” He said, a shit-eating grin plastered across his face. You couldn’t really see it though, considering the hotel-lighting was dark and the fact that he was being you. Bucciarati, however, was right in front of you - a soft smirk appearing on his face. It was then, that you knew what kind of night you were in for. It all made sense now. Bruno lured you here so that both him and Prosciutto could punish you sexually for leading them both on. While you were slightly excited, you were more scared than anything. Taking both men at once was a dangerous game. You stopped yourself from thinking too much about the subject though - you had already been walking a fine line by seeing them both behind each other’s backs. Would this really change anything if you already knew your fate?
Turning to face you, both Prosciutto and Bruno’s eyes watched you as they gestured for you to sit down on the luxurious hotel bed. Hesitantly, you walked over, Your black heels digging into the carpeted floor as you made your way over. Upon sitting down on it you felt the softness is the pure silk sheets. Frankly you didn’t expect the men to go through this much trouble just to teach you a lesson, but you weren't going to complain. 
The silence of the room began to loom over you, and the cold chill in the air caused goosebumps to prickle up on your arms and exposed legs. You cleared your throat, trying to get any one of their attention ; the silence was killing you. It was immensely awkward. Eventually, Prosciutto butted-out his cigarette, pulling the black chair over and sitting down in front of the bed. It was then that you noticed Bruno’s hands were all over your body, caressing all of your curves and insecurities, they could all be seen and felt in the slutty black dress you were wearing. Bruno took full advantage of that.
“Undress her.” Prosciutto said, pulling another cigarette out and lighting it. He wanted to have his fun with you, but for now he was content with watching. Bruno didn’t consider Prosciutto his superior in any sense either, however, this was a paid deal between the two of them and he was happy to oblige. Amidst all your thoughts, you suddenly heard the faint sound of a zipper being pulled down. You realized that Bruno was zipping right through your dress. It was not very expensive, but it still cost a good amount of money, something you didn’t have much of. Bruno continued; until you were left in nothing but your lacy underwear and bra. White, in appearance. It symbolizes “purity & innocence” but you were far from that. Bruno knew this, and the thought caused him to smirk, just a little. He brought his fingers to the hem of your panties, pulling them aside.
“My my, Bella.” Bruno said as his fingers traced over your folds. “You’re already so wet.” You hummed in response, tilting your head to look away from him in embarrassment .“It’s almost as if you want this.. hmmm? to be fucked by two men at once?” His words were punctuated with a tight pull of your hair, making your neck fall backwards. Bruno seized this opportunity to kiss up your neck, sucking at biting at your most sensitive spots. He wanted to make you feel like a whore for this, and he was doing a very good job.
“Ugh. Enough.” Prosciutto taunted, butting his cigarette out once more before standing up. Bucciarati did what he said, sure, but now he was bored. They were here to fuck you - not make love. He wanted to see you bent over on all fours, struggling to take them both at once. He wanted to see your pussy oozing with their cum, not Bucciarati leaving love bites on your neck.
Turning around, Bruno’s hand gently caressed the soft skin of your face, his thumb dragging down to your bottom lip before separating it. “On your knees, Bella.” His tone was soft, a much nicer contrast to Prosciutto’s harsh words; constantly demeaning you and making you feel like a whore. Still, both men could be equally as degrading as the other, and as pleasant as Bruno’s tone was, you knew it was just a cover-up.
Obeying his orders, you slipped down from the mattress and got on your knees, the rough texture of the carpet burning your soft flesh. You looked up at the raven-haired man who was now unzipping his pants. From this angle, everything seemed darker, even the shadows on his face appeared to be sinister. Yet, you couldn’t deny how much it turned you on. You almost liked being in this position - useless and depraved, used only for his pleasure.
“Tch. Look at this puttana. Less than ten minutes here and she’s already on the floor for you. Pathetic.” Prosciutto sneered from the corner of the room, putting out his cigarette in a nearby ashtray. The smell of smoke filled your senses as he came closer to you, fumbling with the zipper of his pants as well. Prosciutto grabbed a fistful of your hair, pulling your head back harshly to get a better look at your face. You gasped, swallowing hard as you looked into his icy eyes. “A good whore like you can surely take both of us, yes?” The question was rhetorical, and before you could even answer them, both men had their cocks out.
Prosciutto let go of your hair and gulping heavily, you slowly inched up your hands in an attempt to grab each of their cocks. Both were reddened and leaking with need. If there was one thing you learned from previous encounters with both of these men though, it was that neither liked to be kept waiting. Sure, Bruno was a bit more patient and level-headed, but he had his needs as well.
“Ah-ah.” Prosciutto teased, slapping your hands away. He ripped off his ascott, leaning down to tie your hands together in a tight knot. “A real whore doesn’t need to use her hands. It's called a blowjob for a reason, bitch.” 
You barely had time to nod before you felt Prosciutto’s cock tapping the corner of your mouth, desperately trying to inch his way in. This proved to be hard to do, considering Bruno was doing the same on the other-side of your face.
With your hands tied and flushed a bright red from the lack of circulation, you slowly opened your mouth, using your tongue to lick a trail up Prosciutto’s hardened shaft. His salty taste lingered in your mouth, but it wasn’t necessarily unpleasant. You had fucked him before, so you were used to it. Your tongue swirled around the head of his cock, expertly placing pressure just underneath his head (where you knew he liked it best). He let out a deep hiss when he felt you work your magic, but not long after he was interrupted by Bucciarati.
“- Bella, did you forget I was still here?” Bruno asked, his hand pulling back his foreskin as he tapped your cheek.  Of course you didn’t forget. How could you? The smell of smoke, cologne and their musk was flooding your senses. Even if you were blindfolded you would have known they were here. No matter, you pulled your mouth back from Prosciutto and began to lick Bruno's shaft, evidently engulfing his head with your mouth and repeating the same action.
This went on for a few minutes, until Prosciutto was unsatisfied. He wanted to chase his release - but that would be hard considering the situation. Both men were well endowed, and even if someone had a huge mouth - it would be hard to take them both. 
“Bucciarati, fuck her cunt. I have other ideas for this whore..” Prosciutto chuckled, grabbing you by the hair and dragging you over to the bed. You laid down on your back, confused for a moment before Prosciutto pulled his pants all the way down and angled his cock in your mouth. He started slow for a moment, since he knew it would be hard to take him like this. But after a few slow thrusts he didn’t hold back. All seven inches of his cock rammed down your throat, causing saliva to spill out the sides of your mouth and tears to prick at the corner of your eyes. It was too good, especially because Bruno began to lick up your slit, ghosting his breath over you and smirking everytime you flinched. He liked being slow and sensual, while Prosciutto preferred to fuck you hard. It was funny to Bruno almost - how sensitive you were. Everytime Prosciutto jerked himself into your throat, you gagged and squirmed, causing Bruno’s tongue to plunge into you further. He didn’t want to tease you too long, though. So he sucked on your clit and placed two of his thick fingers inside of you, curling them as he felt your wet walls gladly take him in.
Bruno was skilled with his tongue (for various reasons). However, he never let down when it came to eating you out. Every time you finished it almost felt like a life-changing orgasm. You never wanted it to end. Prosciutto pulled away for a moment, enjoying your mouth way too much. Fuck, if you continued he would have busted right then and there - but he didn’t want to. His mind was on something else entirely and he couldn’t wait to see how it would play out.
Bruno was almost almost about to bring you to orgasm when he pulled out, watching you writhe and moan from both the lack of content and the edging. 
Both men removed the rest of their clothes now, tossing you around like some ragdoll. Bruno laid down on the bed first, before Prosciutto shoved you down onto him. “Come, bella.” He said, helping you straddle yourself on his cock. He didn’t particularly like to be ridden, but in this situation? It was definitely a turn on. Once he felt you sink down onto his cock, he pulled you forward, kissing you passionately, though this was a means to distract you.
Prosciutto huffed as he gave his cock a few long strokes, bringing himself closer to you and Bruno before spitting on the head of is cock. You could feel his weight on the hotel mattress as He spread his saliva around the head, before ultimately pressing against your entrance. 
“Tight fit.” He scoffed as he forced himself inside of you. The head of his cock was pressing Bruno’s shaft downwards as Prosciutto tried to find a way in. Admittedly, it felt rather uncomfortable at first, the tight burning sensation you felt around your folds as you tried to take both very well endowed men at once. However, that’s what turned you on more. The unpleasant feeling of being stretched was enough for your body to produce more lubrication while you moaned out - and before you knew it, - Prosciutto slid all the way in, to the hilt. Until his cock was snug against Bucciarati’s..
Instinctively you moaned as you leaned on Bruno for support. Bruno was far more willing to let you adjust - but, Prosciutto had little patience for arbitrary things like this. In his eyes, if you were willing to fuck them both on the side, then surely, you could take them both no problem. 
Prosciutto pulled you by your hair, forcing you to sit up and “ride” both of their cocks.
“Tch. Already making slutty sounds and we’ve only just started? I can't believe you.” Prosciutto hissed, his breath hot against your ear as he nibbled on your cartilage playfully. You moaned in ecstasy as you felt both men thrusting. Bruno opted for a slower pace, because admittedly - it was hard to move or go ‘fast’ when he had both your weight and Prosciutto's on top of him. Both men were very thick in their own way as well, and with how tight you were - it was next to impossible to establish a proper rhythm between the two. Prosciutto however, was thrusting into you with pure vigor. It was easier for him, since he was taking you from behind anyways. He had more control this way, and he couldn’t deny the rush it gave him knowing that he was orchestrating all of this. 
Good. Fuck Bucciarati. He definitely had the upper hand against him for this one!
“P-prosci- p- please…” You wailed, closing your eyes in pain from the stinging sensation you had on your scalp. Prosciutto hadn’t let your hair go from his fist, and tears pricked the corner of your eyes.
Bruno took advantage of this, snaking his hands up your soft skin and curves until he reached your breasts. It was hard for him to sit upright - given his position - but he still managed to cup your breasts. Playfully squeezing them and pinching your nipples until they were rock hard. 
“Oh my, Topolina. These are so nice..” Bruno huffed, biting his lip in the process as he looked up at you. Fuck, he was so close to cumming! The feeling of Prosciutto;’s cock rubbing against his, plus the feeling of your tight walls practically sucking him in, he couldn’t resist. 
“What’s the matter, Bucciarati? You going to spill?” Prosciutto taunted. “I thought you had the resolve to last longer than that.” In all honesty, Prosciutto needed to shut his mouth. Like Bucciarati, he was dangerously close to cumming too. The entire sensation was far too much for him to handle. 
Between your moans and sweet cries, and the combined thrusting of both men - you came. Screaming out incoherent words, you were about to lean forward until Prosciutto pulled you back by your hair once again. “I’m not finished.” He hissed, giving your ass a playful slap. Bruno still fondled your breasts, enjoying the soft gasps that left your mouth as your legs shook from the intense orgasm you just had.
Bruno couldn’t handle it anymore,the feeling of your walls spasming around him felt too good. His hands traveled down to your hips, holding them tightly as he shot his load inside of you. He swore he saw white as he came - the orgasm was far too intense.
“Oh, madonna.” Bruno groaned. He was slowing his thrusts now, trying to recover from his orgasm - but much like you he was starting to get overly sensitive from prosciutto’s thrusts. Almost uncomfortably so. 
“Fuck, Prosciutto - hurry the hell up.” Bruno hissed, biting his lip and squeezing his ocean eyes shut to try and ‘cancel out’ any sensations he had. 
“Shut up.” Prosciutto hissed. He let go of your hair, tossing you forward onto Bruno again. His hands squeezed your hips tightly and he looked away from Bruno as he huffed heavily. 
Shortly after, Prosciutto couldn’t contain himself any longer. Thank God for the dull lighting, because he had the reddest blush on his face as he came. “Hnnng - fucking puttana.” he scoffed, adding his cum to Bruno’s inside of you. 
 After finally stopping his thrusts, Prosciutto cupped his hand around your ass. He gave it a rough squeeze and a smack, and then slipped his thumb between your cheeks. Your body tensed as he rubbed circles against your asshole, at least showing enough mercy to not penetrate. “Maybe next time…” he teased longingly.  “I wonder how tight you’d get, with a cock in your ass and one in that pretty pussy of yours”
His words were piercing as he pulled out of you, watching as Bruno’s cock slipped out of you as well. Both of their cum oozed out of your pussy in clumps while you all took deep breaths - trying to calm down from such an intense orgasm.
Prosciutto wasted no time in pulling his slacks back on and lighting another cigarette, all while looking down at you with disgust. Bruno followed suit after, checking his rolex watch when he realized the time. He enjoyed “fooling” around but he had another mission he had to prepare for shortly.
“I hope you realize you’re playing a dangerous game with us, dolcezza.” Prosciutto taunted, plowing the smoke from his cigarette into your direction. 
Bruno got into his clothes again, zipping up his slacks. “Ciao, bella. Until next time.” Bruno said, blowing you a kiss before heading out. Prosciutto followed suit after, but not before leaving you with a haunting comment.
“If you don’t choose one of us - and stick to that person - there won’t be a next time, bella.”

More Than You Think
Pairing: Butchercup/ Greens (Buttercup x Butch)
Fandom: PPG
This was a commission/gift for the amazing @over-under-through1 who trusted me enough to write her some greens. 
The dynamic is much softer for greens than i usually write because we love soft butch. This is just a journey of Butch realizing that he is in fact dumb and fancies a light green puff :) 
----
Butch: Age 12
Of course Boomer would trip the alarm, he always did. Butch grumbled as he herd the familiar buzz of the bank alarm going off. They weren’t supposed to get caught, well he was the only one here anyways. Boomer was in the back room messing around with the safe and oops, now that loud ass sound is piercing through his head. Brick’s gonna be pissed.
They hadn’t robbed a store in months, kept more on the down low as they got older but even pesky twelve year olds need money and food and hey, Butch liked to have a good time. He would have preferred blowing some shit up instead but Brick’s bitching wasn’t something he wanted to challenge this late at night.
“Make that thing shut up!” Butch growled towards the back where Boomer had shouted “I’m trying damnit!”
But it didn’t matter, it never did. You could have all the fun in the world but it would be ruined no matter how good you were at your job. Eventually all the fun would come to an end.
He could hear it. Like noticing a fly when having dinner. The slight buzz of its wings, that's what it was like. The siren cut off and soon he could hear it crystal clear. He had it memorized by now. Their flying patterns and how each of them landed was its own noise. He bit back a snarl, barely tasting blood as they touched down on the ground. Fuck.
He turned on his foot with a slouch in his hip and a roll of the eyes as they stood before him.
“Buzz kills” He mumbled and locked eyes with the three super heroines.
They stood tall and proud as always. The princesses of the kingdom were here to rescue it once again, it was just a measly break in. Did they have to deal with every single small inconvenience. Guess the cops were no help but he’d rather get in a punch with someone who could handle it then in a pair of handcuffs.
He stared them down. First was the leader. Blossom or he liked to call Pinky because, well he didn’t need to explain himself. Next was Goldilocks whose voice was like nails on a chalkboard to him. Cute but annoying, no wonder Boomer was her counterpart.
And then there was her. She had a deep scowl and hooded eyes as if she had just woken up. Which would make sense as the moon was high in the sky and the only lights were the ones in the broken building. Buttercup was the only one who ever caught his eye.
“Alright just drop whatever you have and make this a clean deal.” Pinky spoke. It was startling how similar she was to his older brother, by like thirty seconds, she had that same cold stare but the baby doll pink eyes really didn’t add much fear.
“Not holding anything dumb ass.” He spat at her and held his palms open. He watched her visually straighten her shoulders from the insult and Goldilocks scoffed and yet the girl who rivaled him just had an icy glare.
Unlike her sisters, she was the only one he could tolerate, if anything. She had a killer kick and plummeting punch but she matched him in wit and snarky comments. Deep down he enjoyed whenever they got to have a full on thrashing but right now, he wasn’t in the mood and clearly, she wasn’t either.
“Got the alarm to-shit!” Boomers eyes widened as he stumbled out of the back and he wished he could have just punched him in the face for being so careless.
He watched as Pinky glanced around. The only broken item was the lock on the door and nothing had been stolen either. It should have been but blue eyes had to fuck it up. His knuckles cracked within his fists, the loud noise echoing through the untouched bank.
“Look.” Blossom started. “You broke in, disbanded the alarm and there's no way you can steal anything now, so I suggest just taking whatever dignity you have left and just walk away. Maybe next time you can do something worth our time.” She finished.
“Worth your time.” He heard Boomer mutter under his breath. A low blow for sure.
She might have been ‘everything nice’ but over time her words had taken to the spice side.
If Brick were here he probably would have gotten into her face and a brawl would have started. But he wasn’t and that pissed him off. He didn’t even care about the money any more. He had a headache and wanted to sleep and if Brick really wanted this shit, he could come down and bust it out himself.
He turned on his heel to Boomer who just raised his brow. He nodded towards the door and they both decided that a full on fight wasn’t what they wanted to do. After all it's been a couple of years since they had one and getting his ass kicked by a girl when they were outnumbered really wasn’t on his to do list. They would easily take dumber than the dumbest down in a flash and his ass would be a full buffet. 1 against 3 wasn’t on the agenda.
Butch scoffed and began to walked towards the door but stopped in front of the girls. Blossom narrowed her eyes and he saw the flash of pink within her palms.
“Relax doll, we are leaving. Boomer, get going.” He scoffed at his little brother, by twenty seconds, for making goo goo eyes at Goldilocks. He didn’t miss the small smile she was trying to hide and just rolled his eyes at them. Pathetic.
Butch passed Blossom and stopped at his own counter part. The neon green eyes seemed to glow slightly under the dim light and they wore matching expressions that held unamusement. She only blinked and raised her eyebrows.
“We don’t have all night Butch.” She spoke and he rolled his shoulders back before pushing past her. “Get your sorry ass out of here before I beat it.”
He flashed her a smirk before gripping the collar of his brother’s shirt and pushing him forward to leave. “Kinky.” He winked at her before they took to the skies and he let out a laugh as he could hear her frazzled complaint from below. 
--
Butch: Age 13
There was something comical about him entering the school gates for the first time in his life. After Mojo Jojo was thrown in the slammer, again and again, the boys' custody shifted towards Ms. Bellum who decided to take on the challenge of three thirteen year old boys who had the mindset of destruction.
“This is all yours.” Ms. Bellum gestured to the nice apartments. Each of the boys got their own room, a kitchen, a living room and loft space. There was even a room that was dedicated for use of their powers. She had said something about the powerpuff brats having something similar so if they ever got the urge to blast lasers, it would be down there.
It wasn’t too bad after all. Butch finally had his own room and didn’t have to worry about Bricks loud ass snoring or Boomer waking up at the crack of dawn for some unholy reason. His temper had died down slightly and the urge to steal really wasn’t there. Mostly because food was provided and the new mom actually cared about him.
She was sweet and sassy and even when his fist sparked an electric green, she simply placed her hand over it and told him to stop. The boys then worshiped her. What kind of non-super does that? One worth respecting of course.
He also found it funny that dear old dad Him was upset but after a talk about child support and schooling, the boys were left to the brain of the city. So much for wanting custody.
“You should make some friends Butch.” Bellum said to him as she fixed his hair and finished zipping up their bags.
Boomer had already attached his hip to the Goldilocks and Brick had found Princess annoying ass tolerable, how? He would never know.
He grumbled before taking his bag. “Sure.” Maybe the lady was right, after all it would be lame to only hang out with his bros.
The limo was kinda cool, he wouldn’t lie. Being dropped off in front of everyone with a car worth more than these kids parents salaries always puts a skip in his step. Plus she wanted to make sure that they actually made it to school. When his feet touched on school property, she was gone.
His brothers ditched him in a flash. Boomer was now deep inside the school probably trying to talk his way into the blondes heart and Brick was most likely rolling his eyes at Princess while not so secretly looking for his redhead counterpart. As for him. He didn’t do too well socially.
He was much more of a homebody and tended to keep to himself. A social outcast like him didn’t need to be disappointed when fake ass people turned their back on him. Maybe people who did bad things were more his type but when you went to school with the Puffs, he imagined no one really did anything bad.
Mama did tell him to make friends. The only person who came to mind made him scowl but he did need a good laugh, and someone who could take the heat. He had about twenty minutes until the annoying bell rang so he followed the path of the school grounds towards the back.
From a distance he saw her sitting alone at a table outside. There were books and papers laid out and he never pegged her for the studious type. Why was he nervous? It wasn’t like it was a secret that they had joined the school but he hadn’t had a run in with any of the girls, unlike his brothers.
His fist held a death grip on his backpack strap as he walked towards her. His mind yelled at him to turn around and go the other direction, maybe befriend the group of boys who always ditched class to smoke behind the school. Those were his people in the long run and mama would probably be proud. The rule breakers, the ones without a care in the world so why in the hell was he going towards a girl who probably hated his guts and wanted his ass in jail.
He stood in front of her table and when she didn’t notice he finally spoke up.
“Sup.” He said casually and she lifted her head.
Her face was slightly scrunched as she looked around and then focused back on him. “Uhh...Hi?” She narrowed her eyes at him. Typical. But not in the “why am i awake at 1 am to deal with your ass”. More like “why are you talking to me?” Kinda way.
He didn’t wait for her to protest him being there so he threw his shit on the table and sat down. “This place is pretty lame.”
She gave him a blank expression before returning to her stuff. “Yeah I guess.”
He eyed the books on the table. Chemistry. “What are you? A nerd now?” He picked it up and flipped through the page. There were tons of sticky notes coming from all directions and more highlighter than what seemed as necessary.
She scoffed and rolled her eyes before flipping to a fresh page in her notebook. “It's called homework and chemistry is pretty cool.”
“Doubt it.”
“Well you do need an IQ over 5 to understand it, so you probably wouldn’t enjoy it.” She smirked as she stuck the end of the pencil to the corner of her mouth.
He didn’t know why he laughed as well. Usually a taunt like that ended with a fist in the face and a smash to a wall, but for once, he just laughed and threaded his fingers through his hair.
“Whatever.” And she laughed too.
There was something almost supernatural about seeing her in such a mundane place. He only knew her in the skies, fist clenched and dirt smeared on her face. Hair going crazy as her green streak followed her and the hard hit of her power. Eyes glowing with an insane amount of rage but here it was different.
There was no yelling or screaming. Maybe a glare here and there but she was...normal? She wasn’t all powerful and mighty to the eye. Instead it was a calm and cool energy. Someone who was busy with school work not monster fights and demons.
“So what do you do for fun in this dumb?” He took a book and flipped through its pages. Too many words, eh.
Her eyes were back on her book as she jotted down something. “Eh not much. Sports and just hang out with people who aren’t lame”
“Like your sisters?” He teased and she snorted.
“Yup” She popped the ‘p’. “Mostly friends my teams or Mitch the boys.”
Mitch and the boys. For some reason he couldn’t understand, hearing that his best friends were boys and put him in an odd place.
“They must be cool.”
“Oh we are.” He heard a voice come from behind and soon the table had two extra members. “Names Mike.” The first dude outstretched his hand towards him with a smile.
“Careful you don’t know where those hands have been.” Buttercup said and Butch shot her a glare before accepting the handshake, the first one he ever did.
He glazed at the other dude. “You must be Mitch.” And he nodded.
“The one and only.” He responded before looking at all the books. “Geez B how much have you been slacking off?”
She grumbled something and shot him a deadly glare. “Geez Mitch how many times do you save the city a week?”
His hands went up in surrender and Mike laughed before tossing her an energy drink. Here I snatched this from my dad.” His eyes went to Butch. “So you obviously know our little lamb chop here, how?”
“Lamb chop?” Butch laughed.
“Ignore him. This is the dude I blew up.” She closed her book.
Mike’s eyes widened. “Yo you’re death kiss boy!”
They all turned towards Mike and Buttercup kicked his shin. He made a noise and Mitch rolled his eyes before taking the initiative to change the subject.
“Your brothers were taken in by Bellum right?” Mitch asked.
Butch leaned over and took the rest of Buttercups drink without a protest from her. “Yep. Pretty sweet deal. She's not too bad.”
“Bellum is a goddess and you better treat her with respect.” Buttercup spat before shoving the rest of her stuff in her bag. “I have to get to class early, see ya.” She glance at Butch. “Try not to do anything stupid and don’t rob them, they are both broke.”
“Hey!” Mike and Mitch yelled in unison.
Butch gave a small laugh before giving her a small wave. “See ya Lamb Chop.”
Her expression turned sour before she scoffed and turned around towards the main building.
“So you two are now buddies?” Mitch asked. “Thought you hated each other.”
Butch’s eyes were still locked on her even when she disappeared into the hallway. There was this stranger feeling within him, one he didn’t know the word too but hatred wasn’t in his system with her anymore, at least that he knew of.
“She’s not bad.” He finished off the soda while the two boys just nodded. --
Butch: Age 14
Buttercup never expected to be sitting in the room that belonged to the person who tried to kill her many times. It was weird but also felt completely natural as they sat on his bed and played video games. She was beating him of course and he said it was because she had video games growing up.
His demeanor had changed over the months as they got closer. Mitch and Mike as well as a few others welcomed him into their little squad. They would go see movies and even though he was born for evil, he rarely did anything bad. Besides the teasing and pranks, he was like a normal kid.
Just with laser beams and dark glowing eyes.
The round ended and she laughed in victory. “Take that snail guts.” She beamed with pride and he only pouted and started another round.
“Whatever Lamb Chop.”
“Told you to stop calling me that.”
He finally got a hit in on her character. They were playing a fighting game and just like real life, he was losing.
“Can I ask you a question?” She said as her character kicked him in the face.
“Shoot.”
“What was Mojo like?”
“You’ve met the monkey.”
“I met in terms of a father.”
The clicking of the buttons filled the room and she suddenly felt bad. “Sorry that's really personal-”
He paused the game. “No it's fine, I just didn’t think you would care.”
“I do.”
“Well for starters, he's super annoying with those damn monologues.”
Buttercup snorted. “For sure.”
“It just sucked to be honest. To know that he only wanted us for control and to defeat you, not because he wanted kids.”
“That must be rough.” She stated. “I never thought about it like that but I would be pissed if it was just for personal gain.”
“Your dad created you for personal gain.”
Buttercup brought the soda to her lips again. “I guess so.”
“But then again.” Butch took his own drink. “It wasn’t about power. It was about having daughters.”
“Yeah.”
“Too bad he got stuck with you.”
She punched his arm lightly. “Shut up!”
Butch only let his back fall to the bed as he swept his hand through his black locks. “Sometimes I wonder if anything good ever came out of this for Mojo.”
“I think you being here was the good thing, whether or not he deeply cares doesn’t matter anymore. There's a lot of people who probably care about you more than you think.”
“Yeah I guess so.” He thought about his brothers and Bellum.
“Well I’m happy Mojo created you and then you know, Him did.”
He gave her a scoff. “Yeah after you fucking killed me.”
“To be fair. I didn’t know what would happen. But on the bright side, your hair is better.” She shrugged before reaching her hand out and pushing her fingers through it.
A weird and unfamiliar electric buzz ran through his system from the contact. Her hand came back to her side as the notion of what she just did registered in her mind. She looked at the clock on the wall before hopping off the bed and grabbing her back pack.
“I got to go but I’ll see you tomorrow.” She said and he nodded. She began to walk out and spotted his hoodie lying on the desk. It was black with the sleeves having a dark green color. She picked up the fabric and turned towards him. “I’m stealing this.”
“Wait!” He called her and she turned around.
“What?”
“Why do we call you Lamb Chop?” He asked.
She stood there debating whether or not to tell him. He did tell her something personal so she looked at him with a blank expression. “I once choked on a lamb chop.” And then she opened the door and left.
He sat on the bed looking at the closed door. He furrowed his brows before looking at the screen that was glowing slightly.
There's a lot of people who probably care about you more than you think.
“Maybe.” He whispered to himself. --
Butch: Age 15
He decided high school was a personal hell hole. Even with his powers and snarky attitude and gross sense of humor, people really liked to push his buttons.
“Dude what crawled up your butt and died?” Mike asked as he sat at the lunch table.
Mitch joined them and looked at Butch who had a scowl on. “Probably because Jason asked out Buttercup.” He smirked.
Mike took a bite of his apple. “Oh shit really? Does he even play sports?”
“Track and debate. I don’t think he has the highest scores.” Mitch replied. “Butch seriously you look dead.”
“Couldn’t sleep last night.” He mumbled before slamming his head down.
They heard the footsteps approaching the table and soon Butch felt the shift in weight on the shitty lunch table bench.
“Sup losers.” Buttercup said as she took her seat. She was wearing the hoodie she had stolen  last year and they had forgotten that it even belonged to the green ruff.
“Who's your new boy toy.” Mike asked and she shot him a glare.
“Don’t call him that.” She looked at Butch whose face was flat against the table. Her hand came down on his neck and he shot up. “The hells wrong with you?”
“Didn’t sleep.” He rubbed the back of his head. “No need to hit a guy you bitch.”
She only rolled her eyes and smiled.
“Aww don’t worry Lamb Chop, he’s just mad that you aren’t gonna pay attention to him.” Mitch smirked.
She leaned over and pinched his cheek. “Aww does someone want my attention.” She said mockingly in a baby voice.
Butch pushed her offer before stabbing her side with his finger. “You wish you had me toots.” He said darkly before pushing her towards the edge of the bench. She caught herself before falling.
Buttercup flicked his forehead before standing up. “I got to go but I’ll see you assholes later.” She grabbed her bag. “Also one of you smells like pine and I don’t hate it.” She said before ruffling Butch’s hair and leaving.
Butch’s mood went fell back to the scowl and he also got up. “I'm gonna go see Boomer, said he needed help with something.” He scooped up his bag before flinging it onto his shoulder. “Later.”
Mitch and Mike waved to him before Mike took the last bite of his apple. “Hey Mitch?”
“Yeah?”
“Do you smell like pine?”
“Nope.” he popped the ‘p’.
“Thought so.” --
Butch: Age 16
He was sitting on the edge of the skate rink. His feet swayed slightly until the heel of his shoes hit the pavement and bounced forward again. He thought about lighting a cigarette and clearing his mind. The pack was in his hands, his thumb toying with the flap. The rolled paper sat on his lips as he debated whether or not to light it.
“Where the fuck is she?” He grumbled to no one. It was dead quiet with no one in sight. “Probably out with the dumb ass”
The end of his cigarette sparked to life with a green flash. He tilted his head up to see Buttercup.
“Bout damn time.” He blew the smoke out. “What took you so long? Jason couldn’t keep his clammy hands away?” He snickered.
She would usually laugh at the tease but instead she was silent as she dropped her board and sat next to him.
The lighthearted mood they normally shared was off and he gave her a weird glance. “Damn Lamb Chop, you’ve been crying or some shit?” He asked as he took another drag.
“Um” Her voice sounded dry. “We-I, broke up with him.” She said slowly.
He bit his lip and nodded. At first he had nothing to say. He wasn’t good with comforting other people's feelings, especially not the green puff. They may have had their fair share of tender moments that were movie bond but this was the first time a break up was ever in place.
“Oh.” He didn’t really know what to say so he just shrugged. “I’m sorry. Was there a reason?”
She pulled her knees to her chest. Her eyes were red at the corners and she looked as if she had been crying but he didn’t say anything.
Her fingers toyed with a pebble on the ground. “He said that he didn’t like us hanging out and how close we were.”
“Thats stupid.”
“Y-yeah. It is.” She said as the breeze came and made her shiver.
He noticed this and shrugged off his jacket before placing it over her without a second thought. He had missed the way her cheeks turned pink and their way her shoulders relaxed.
“He also said that he didn’t like the way I dressed or wanted me to be more like Blossom.” She spat. He gave a low whistle. “Thats fucked up bro. I may be dumb sometimes but the last thing you wanna do is compare a girl to her sister.” He snuffed his cigarette out next to him.
Her laugh was dry as she wiped away her tears. He hated seeing her cry. She didn’t deserve to have a guy do that to her, not when it was ultimately about him. The thought of Jason yelling at her because he was jealous of Butch made his blood boil. He wanted to go and find him and maybe knock a few teeth in. Mama Bellum might let it slide since it's an act of friendship, right? Especially since that shit he had said.
“I can’t believe I went out with such a sleaze bag. When I broke up with him, he just asked if Blossom was available.”
“What did you say?”
She was silent before looking at him. “I slapped him.”
Butch leaned back and let out a loud laugh. “Lamb Chop rocking his shit? I wish I was there to see.” He laughed some more.
She toyed with the ends of the sleeves. “I felt bad but I wasn’t about to let some slug talk about my sister like that.”
“Hey don’t go calling a guy a slug.” He gestured to himself. “That's an insult to some of us.”
She nudged his shoulder and rolled her eyes. “You were made from a snail dumb ass.” She smiled. “And a dogs ass.”
“Fuck off.” He stuck his tongue out at her. “Where's all the sugar and nice shit in you?”
“No where. Not now at least.” She fell silent.
Jason didn’t deserve someone as cool and bad ass. What kind of guy would even think about ruining a person's emotions over something that petty when that said person can break their bones with a snap.
She was looking straight ahead trying to muffle her tears and quivering of the lips. His gaze went to her and his eyes traced the profile of her face. The way the tears slipped out under those dark lashes and the smallest red to her face. He didn’t even know there was a freckle beneath her right eye.
Butch continued to secretly stare at her. His mouth slightly parted as he felt his heartbeat pick up. The look of her in his hoodie made his head spin and he really enjoyed the sight.
“On the bright side, you don’t have to be stuck at prom with his lame ass.” He tried to lighten the mood.
Her eyes met his. An array of light greens and a tang of yellow swirled his iris and he couldn’t understand why he never bothered to look closer before.
“I probably would have left him before that anyways.” She whispered. Another breeze came and their shoulders touched as she leaned slightly to his warmth.
“Really?” He asked and her eyes fell to his lips then came back to his eyes.
“Yeah. I think so.” She said as she leaned closer but he gave her a small nod before looking back out towards the rink. “Should have left him sooner anyways.”
He hadn’t seen her blow up her bangs or what she whispered to herself.
“Well I wouldn’t give an ass hat like that the time of day. Fuck him. You’re Buttercup Motherfucking Utonium and you don’t need any lame guy to be by your side.”
“Yeah.” She huffed. “Fuck him.”
“Plus.” He jumped up and grabbed his board. “I'm the only guy you need to worry about.” He winked and she looked up at him with glossy eyes. “Now forget about him and let’s skate so I can see you fall on your ass.” He pushed his board down and took off smoothly before dipping into the rink.
She finished her tears and hugged the jacket before grabbing her own board and joining him.
--
Butch: Age 17
Butch sat there staring at his drink. The ice cubes melting at such a slow pace he wondered if time was even real. The song changed for the third time and yet he was sitting on the sidelines feeling sorry for himself for a reason that he couldn’t comprehend.
His head was a mess, his palms were sweaty and he was pretty sure that his facial expression was dull and unreadable. He had decided in that moment that prom was stupid. He saw Boomer out on the dance floor twirling Bubbles and was glad that someone was having fun at least. From a distance he could make out the hair of his brother and probably Blossom, they probably fought before deciding to dance. Stupid teenage hormones.
“Hey man.” Mitch joined him at the table, drink in hand and more hairspray than the cast of a Broadway musical.
Butch gave him a half smile. “Hey Mitch. How's it going.” He was trying to be as polite as possible but all he wanted to do now was leave this shit show of a dance.
“Fine.” He popped the tab on his soda. “How's it for you?”
The fake laugh was a give away as Butch took a sip of his drink. “Peachy.” He really wanted to leave.
Mitch stood there watching him with raised brows and his mouth tightened into a straight line. His eyes raked over the dance floor and then to the other tables. He turned back to Butch and smirked.
“What?” Butch snapped a little too hard and Mitch shrugged.
“Why don’t you just ask her to dance?” Mitch looked towards the dance floor.
“Who?” He was met with a sigh and a look that said “you're an idiot.”
“Buttercup you dumb fuck.” He rolled his eyes. “And here I thought Boomer was the dumb one.”
He looked away over the vast crowd of people. All dressed up for a dance they would forget in the next ten years or even tomorrow. “Why would I-”
His eyes landed on her and he felt his breath catch in his throat.
She sat at her own table. A light conversation going with some random girl, probably a team mate. Her fingers traced the rim of her soda, a small ring sparkling under the light. She had gone with her sisters to this damn thing and it was the first time tonight where he actually saw her.
A dark green dress that seemed a little uncomfortable to her as she picked at the skirt pooling around her heels. He had laughed at the thought of her in a dress. She had told him how stupid she was going to look and he had agreed with a lighthearted sigh.
But he was wrong.
So incredibly wrong.
“Oh for fucks sake.” He whispered under his breath and his eyes met Mitch’s. A blank stare with a sly smile as he took another sip.
“You just realized?” Mitch laughed and patted his back as he stood up to go find his own date. “I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since Jason had asked her out last year. Took you this long. Hell I’ve been waiting since we first met.”
Mike walked up to the table, his eyes looking towards Mitch before he grabbed his hand.
“Babe Butch just found out he likes Buttercup.” Mitch laughed, making his face turn red with embarrassment.
Mike looked towards Butch with wide eyes and an even wider smile. “About fucking time dude! Go get her!”
Mitch left the table and he sat there staring at his drink again. The feeling when she had told him that she was going out with Jason made his blood boil and his skin twitch and he never knew why. Or at least he pretended not to.
And then the following year when they had broken up. The tears in her eyes were genuine and even though he was comforting her, he felt fine about the relationship ending. Happy even.
But now he stared at her from across the room. The music had turned to white noise and he was focused on her only. He furrowed his eyebrows before chugging his drink, it wasn’t alcohol but it would do. He got one step in before she shifted in her seat and her eyes fell to his.
It was an electrifying feeling that jolted through his body. Her eyes didn’t leave his even as he straightened his tie and walked towards her. In those few moments he kicked himself on how he didn’t see it before. --
“You got a date?” She asked him while they were lounging at the skatepark, the rest of their friends had left for the evening. The sky had melted from blue to a candy floss pink, a light breeze in the air.
“Eh might just ask some random girl passing down the hall.” He shrugged. “Not really feeling it I guess.”
She pushed her hair back as she tilted her head towards the sky. “No ones got your eye?”
At first it didn’t make sense why she was asking. Her face had a slight red to it but he thought it was from the heat. He had brushed it off, thought nothing of it.
“Not really.” Why did he feel like he was lying?
“Maybe I’ll steal Blossom’s thunder and ask Brick.” She teased and Butch glared at her. “Stop saying my brother is hot. He’s not.” He pouted and she laughed lightly.
“But he is. I leave him to Blossom.” She winked.
He crossed his arms. “I’m way hotter than him.” She heard him mumble.
She let the topic die in the wind as they sat there in a comfortable silence. She noticed the way his flannel clung to his arms and turned her face away with a blush and a twitch of anger.
“Really not going with anyone?” She asked again and he shook his head.
“Think I might wear a dress, Bubbles will probably force me.” Buttercup sighed but in all honesty she was looking forward to these things. Once in a while she liked to get all dolled up and have a good time, sue her.
“I say show up in shorts and tell her to suck it.” He teased and she laughed but it didn’t reach her eyes.
“I’ll probably look horrible.”
“Most likely.” She hit his shoulder.
And they left it at that.
--- In the moment he spent walking up to her table he had finally come to his sense of what had made his mind crazy for the past days, months and years. It was never going from bad boy to someone who played by the rules or the wild ride of high school.
No, it was simple. She had made his heart clamp up and taken over his thoughts. Every action he did somehow was tied to her and if he had a question, she was somehow the answer. The things he did like wearing that pine cologne because she said she liked it or even wearing flannels because he saw her looking at them on her phone. All of those small details he never thought twice about lead him closer to her.
She would steal his hoodies or even run her hands through his hair even when he protested against it. He could tell her everything in his head and she would sit and listen. It all made sense now. And when they were sitting at that skate park, she wanted him to ask her and then he didn’t.
It never clicked that he liked all those things she did. Really liked it. Maybe even loved.
He always thought he was observant, you had to be with a life of crime as your past but he was inconsiderately dense when it came to the one person he didn’t realize mattered the most.
But sometimes the best things come to those who wait. Or figure their shit out. Whichever came first.
“Hey lamb chop.” He said over the music. He was thankful that the other girl she was talking to was gone now. Just them.
She looked up at him then smiled softly. “Hey.”
“You wanna, uh, dance, maybe?” He held his hand out with slight hesitation.
Buttercup looked at the outstretched hand, a small blush dusting her face and he thought she looked pure and delicate in that moment. Her fingers touched the tips of his as she stood up and glanced at the floor with a new found shyness.
“Yeah, I’d like to.”
He pulled her towards a spot away from the heavy crowd and even from their friends. He didn’t need the two lovebirds to add any comments when he was trying to keep his composure together. By the time they got to their location, the upbeat pop song had shifted into a slow song where couples across the floor were grabbing their partners closely.
He gulped and looked up at the tacky disco ball before he felt her arms slip around his shoulder and he looked at her. She offered him a smile that showed she was just as nervous and he let out a breath before relaxing and setting his hands on her hips.
It was a little weird at first. They were the two toughest people in the school and probably the city. He had seen her burp and get her hands dirty. Fall and scrape her knees and suffer punches to the gut and even blood trickling down her face.
He thought it was teenage hormones that were making him feel weird when he saw her like that. Calm, relaxed, free and even full of power and rage. He should have known that it was his heart trying to tell him that he had a fat crush on her.
But now looking at her in the dim lights, he laughed to himself.
“What’s so funny?” She asked.
He snorted. “I should have known.”
She cocked her head slightly with a questioning look. “Known what?”
“That you like me.” He stated and her eyes shot open wide like a deer in headlights.
“W-what-I” Her face had flamed up to the color of her sister’s bow and she began to panic. “I don’t-”
“And that I like you.” He said before she could pull away.
“Oh.”
He sighed. “I really should have seen it sooner. I mean come on BC, you’re a firecracker babe and my dumb ass couldn’t comprehend that all those feelings over the years were because of you? It's pretty lame.”
“It's not like I made it easy.” She whispered.
“Easy? It was crystal clear!” he laughed. “The hoodie stealing, the pine, the way you would run your fingers in my hair.”
“It's soft.” She bit her lip.
“I even started wearing flannels because of that damn ad you were looking at.”
“Is that why?” It was her turn to laugh.
“And then the skate park.”
“Oh when I tried to kiss you.”
“Ya when you tried-WAIT WHAT?” His voice boomed and some couples turned around before getting a glare from him.
That panicked look came back onto her face. “I like, leaned in and everything but you turned your head and I just accepted the fact that you didn’t like me I guess.”
“Wow I really am dumb, you should start calling me Boomer.”
“Ew no.” She shook her head. “I’d take you over anyone any day.”
Those words gave him a small tinge of pride. “You’re such a sap.” He murmured as he felt his cheeks turn pink. He held her closer before moving a strand of hair out of her face. Her eyes were bright and soft and he thought she looked beautiful.
“I think you were wrong.”
“About what?” She asked.
“The dress.” He looked down, then back to her face. “You look stunning.”
The expression on her face was of genuine bliss as she leaned forward and this time he knew what he was supposed to do. His lips touched hers and that jolt of electricity that happened all those years ago in his bedroom came back. He felt her lips turn up into a smile and knew she felt it too.
They pulled apart and just stared in silence at one another. It was like the world had faded into the background and it was just them. Dark and neon green dancing through the night.
She giggled, a wonderful sound that was rarely heard.
“What?” he asked.
“Nothing.” Buttercup ran her fingers in the back of his hair as they danced.  “I’m just glad you didn’t blow up his time.”
“Fuck me too.” His nose brushed against hers. “That just means I can kiss you more.” He said before his lips crashed to her again. It was quicker and more hasty as she melted against him. It was as if he was trying to make up for lost time, to show that he had truly cared about her deeply through the years.
There's a lot of people who probably care about you more than you think.
He thought back to when she had said that. It was a phrase that played over and over in his mind and now he knew she was talking about herself. He pulled away and she pecked him quickly again before leaning her head against his chest. She felt like she was on cloud nine and he liked his lips. She could feel the vibration of his laugh through his chest and looked up at him.
“Don’t make fun of me for being sappy or I’m going to kick your ass.” She gave him an icy glare.
“No it's not that, I think it's cute.” he kissed her forehead. “I just think Lamb Chop isn’t a good nickname anymore.”
Her eyebrows quipped up. “Really?” She was surprised because he was so determined to call her that at any given time. “What would be better?”
His lips pressed to her ear as his hand squeezed her hips lightly. “Cinnamon.”
And when he kissed her again, she then realized what flavor her lipstick was.

BONUS: THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE YET :)

Butch: Age 18
“You know how you asked me about Mojo all those years ago?” He said out of the blue. Buttercup propped her head on her hand as she rolled onto her side. 
“Yeah I think so.” She responded, not really understanding why he brought up the topic. Over the years the conversation had been put to a stand still and it was something he rather not talk about. 
“I remember asking if anything would come out good for Mojo.” 
She hummed as she wrapped her finger loosely around the string of his hoodie. 
“Well the thing is, I was thinking. Maybe it wasn’t what good Mojo got from the creation, but instead the good that came out of it for me.” 
“That’s a better thing to look at. A lot of stuff is good. You have a super sweet mom and you just graduated high school. Colleges want you to play for their teams and your brothers have grown closer over the years.” She said. 
His lips turned to a smile as he reached out to brushed the hair kissing her face. “And you.” He chuckled as her face flamed up and she buried her face into his chest. 
“Sap.” She stated, her voice slightly muffled. 
“I’m just saying.” Butch ran his fingers through her hair. “I think out of all the things that could have happened, you were the best thing.” 
She tilted her head slightly to meet his eyes before looking to the side. “You weren’t too bad yourself.” 
“Gee thanks.” He teased as he tapped her nose. “But I am serious babe. You make me want to be a better person. Someone who is worthy enough to stand by your side.” 
“I think you’re worthy.” 
“I know you do.” 
“And I don’t care what anyone has to say because you make me feel like no one else can.” She placed a hand on his cheek before he reached and put his own over it. “
Her eyes fell to his before he leaned and kissed her softly. It was a mystery of how he actually let himself get through high school without kissing her. It was his favorite thing to do as it provided a comfort and he really liked the taste of the chap stick she wore on the daily. Not to mention that her lips were incredibly soft anf he relished in the fact that it was something only he got to do. 
“I love you.” She whispered as they pulled apart. His eyes widened slightly as if he didn’t hear those words correctly. He blinked as he stared at her and she only gave him that soft gaze he adored so much. 
They were hardly any words to describe how he felt about her in that moment. “I love you too.” He said back and she looked like she was glowing.
“How much do you love me?” She winked as teased him with a feathery kiss.
“More than you could even know Cinnamon.” He finished before capturing her lips again into another passionate kiss.

I hope you all enjoyed! This was a monster to complete and really fun

A Commission for @belly-flu ! Thank you so much! ;u;
Fandom/s: Spiderman Character/s: Peter Parker, Ursula Ditkovich Kink/s: Mild Stuffing, upset stomach, nausea + emeto, farts, burps, comfort
Plot: Ursula invited Peter for dinner, which he gladly accepted. Unfortunately, once the evening arrives, he’s not feeling well - his stomach is terribly upset for some reason. He doesn’t want to cancel though, especially since Ursula already finished all preparations... so he forces himself to eat and ends up feeling sick.
___
Peter didn’t understand… was fate playing a cruel trick on him?
When Ursula had invited him to come over for dinner just a few hours ago, he felt fine. Yes, okay, maybe a bit tired, but it was no big deal to him. He could handle it, or so he thought. Yet, it seemed like his state continuously worsened ever since he agreed to come. Over the hours, his eyes had felt heavier and heavier, and even a nap couldn’t fix that… Instead, he only woke up with a pounding headache, heavy limbs and a violently churning stomach.
It couldn’t have been lunch – he didn’t have any. No appetite. Breakfast? No way. The butter was fresh, and toast was usually easy on the stomach anyway, or not? Stress? Ridiculous… Peter bit his lower lip as he left his apartment. Despite how sick he felt, he didn’t want to cancel. Knowing Ursula, she wouldn’t mind if he did, not at all, but there was this guilt in him that reminded him of the fact that she made this dinner just for him and was looking forward to it… He was too, but… his shaky hands and weak knees were most likely going to ruin it for him. It was so frustrating!
Right as Peter lifted his hand to knock on Ursula’s door, his stomach decided to twist and cramp inside him, causing him to grimace in pain. When the organ finished contracting after what felt like a whole minute, with a terrifying, high pitched gurgle, nausea began to dig into his gut like a dull knife. He froze, cold sweat beginning to form underneath his nose. Was that really such a good idea…?
He felt guilty again, the scent of food was already wafting towards him from inside, but he couldn’t work up any appetite for it at all… Even though he was salivating, his stomach wasn’t rumbling with hunger, but instead, complaining painfully about the disturbance. Maybe Peter should cancel after all-
“Oh! You’re already here! I was just about to pick you up!”, Ursula’s voice greeted him cheerfully. Even though Peter was back in the moment now, he felt like he couldn’t get a proper grasp on reality, and could only smile awkwardly at her. She’d opened the door before he could even knock, and now eagerly grabbed his hand to pull him inside. Every inch of his body told him to ‘abort mission’ when the scent of meat, vegetables and spicy sauce grew more intense, but Ursula spoke again, accidentally interrupting him right as he wanted to start off with an apology.
“I’m so-“
“I’m so happy you agreed to come!”, she chirped, immediately planting that heavy feeling in Peter’s stomach again – additionally to the already present nausea.
“I was looking forward to tonight all day…”
“I… I was, too.”
There was just no way Peter could refuse to eat now… He had to power through this somehow. Maybe he just needed a bite to eat anyway…? Right, he hadn’t eaten lunch! Maybe he was just hungry, and that’s why his stomach was complaining so much. Peter’s expression lit up as a bit of hope rose in him.   Ursula guided him to the dining room, immediately leaving Peter overwhelmed once again – there was so much food on that table…! Rice, fried vegetables, several kinds of sauces, grilled meat, grilled fish, white bread, dark bread, potato salad, green salad, soup… Even if he weren’t feeling unwell, he wouldn’t know if he could finish all this…!
“I think I got a bit carried away”, Ursula admitted a bit sheepishly.
“But if there are any leftovers, you can have them of course!”
“Uh… thanks”, Peter finally said, not knowing what to do with his hands.
“Um, Ursula-“
“Oh right! What would you like to drink?”
“Maybe some tea if it’s not too much trouble…? Chamomile, or peppermint…?”
She didn’t question it, and immediately went into the kitchen. This poor woman, she was so excited for the lovely dinner that awaited them, the dinner she put her heart into – and then there was Peter, intimidated by the sheer amount of food he was supposed to pack into his already whimpering belly. Hopefully the tea could assist him with that a bit…
“Here you go!”, Ursula brought him a cup with the tea... Peter almost had to chuckle. It read “It wasn’t smart, but it was fun”. Hopefully that’d be how he’d feel after this dinner…
“Would you like some sugar?”
“No no, thank you, this is perfect.”
Finally, they sat down at the table, and Peter had to face the mass of food in front of him. Once more he was tempted to say that he wasn’t feeling well, but he really didn’t want to disappoint Ursula after she worked so hard on their dinner… He’d simply eat as much as he could fit…
“I recommend the fish”, she said with an expression of pride.
“I made it with the best herbs I could find!”
Herbs sounded good… they should be easy on his stomach. Peter hated that he had to hold back like this. Lucky for him, Ursula didn’t seem to notice how hesitant he was while putting food onto his plate. She was too busy rambling at him about the ingredients she picked, where she found them, and how she prepared everything. Not that he minded to hear about it, but right now, it was only making him feel more and more like he should feel bad for not eating very much…
“But what about you…? How did you spend your afternoon?”
“Me? Oh, I… I just took a nap”, he admitted a bit shyly, to which Ursula responded with a warm chuckle. She was so sweet…
“That’s good! Napping is good…”
Suddenly, she seemed to eye the portion on Peter’s plate, and he felt awkward as he began to eat… Oh no. The moment the first bite entered his mouth, his stomach was already beginning to rebel again, wanting to get him to stop. But the flavor was amazing… Peter found himself still wanting to eat, even though his body was clearly against it. The fish went down with ease, but landed in his belly like a brick.
“It’s really delicious…!”
It almost came out like he was trying to convince Ursula about that, but honestly he was rather trying to convince his agitated insides.
“Oh, I’m so happy! Please, eat as much as you like!”
There came the next bite… It felt a bit better now that he’d started eating, giving him a bit of hope again. Maybe he really was just hungry after all…
Soon, he was engaging in a conversation with Ursula, trying to distract himself from the building pressure in his gut as more and more food entered it. Of course, he listened to her recommendations, piling vegetables, rice, salad and sauce onto his plate – it seemed like this dinner was endlessly long, and endlessly large. He knew that eventually, his stomach would give up… his hope that it had just been hunger vanished abruptly as his bowels let out a dangerous sounding groan. He wanted to apologize, in case she heard it, but-
“UuuUURp!”
Peter’s hand shot towards his mouth, an intense blush spreading across his face. Even Ursula seemed appalled for a second, but then she busted into laughter.
“Making room for more, I see!”
“Uh- yeah, haha…!”
It was good that she seemed to take it so well, but sadly the belch didn’t help in the slightest… if anything, his stomach felt even angrier now, churning and bubbling underneath his skin like a pot that’s about to overflow. A strange fullness settled between his eyes, the headache from before had began to form into an uncomfortable vertigo, which made eating even more challenging… At this point, Ursula also noticed that something wasn’t right.
“Are you okay? You’ve been… quiet.”
Even though Peter had tried his best to talk to her and make it seem like he was doing just fine, the façade began to crumble now… His stomach lurched and groaned out loudly, making him wince. This time, he was convinced Ursula heard it.
“I’m sorry, I’m… I’m feeling a bit under the weather…”
“Oh… oh no…”
He feared she would look disappointed, but there was genuine concern on her face instead. Why didn’t he say anything? Now he already ate so much…!
“Does your tummy hurt?”
“My- my tum-“
GllluurrRRRrrggrrrllle…
What on earth was THAT. Ursula gasped, her eyes growing wide in shock.
“Oh, that sounds awful…!”
“I’m sorry…”, Peter covered his face now… this couldn’t possibly get any worse, right?
Yes… it could. Much to his dismay, he felt a bubble force its way through his intestines. Several, uncomfortable popping sounds emitted from his middle, until the air finally reached his rear. Though he tried hard to hold it back, his body didn’t want to fight this battle any longer – a deep, dangerously wet fart rumbled out of him, sounding even louder as it hit the chair underneath. The disbelief on Ursula’s face made this even more embarrassing than it already was…
“I’m sorry…”, he said again, his voice wanting to break… Now he ruined her appetite for sure.
“Please, don’t apologize…!”, she quickly shook her head and got up from her seat.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re not feeling well…?”
Peter could sense her approaching, gently putting her hand on his back, but he was fighting a war with his stomach now… The pressure from his bowels apparently agitated it so much that it wanted to expel everything he’d stuffed into it just moments before. An all too familiar sour taste began to spread inside his mouth, causing him to panic as more and more saliva pooled underneath his tongue. He got up as well, and turned to Ursula, who still had her hand comfortingly on his back-
“I- gotta-“
Before he could even give her a moment to process what was going on, his stomach betrayed him, and gave up the battle it couldn’t win. All the fish, rice and vegetables that had been so delicious before now rushed back up his throat, and a bitter tasting, chunky mush splattered onto the floor, just barely missing poor Ursula. As much as Peter wished it would stop there, the second wave of nausea was even worse than the first one. His stomach cramped painfully, and an even bigger amount of vomit shot out of him, causing him to gag loudly as he emptied himself near her feet. He could somehow feel Ursula’s hands on his shoulders, just staying there to make him feel less alone in his misery, while she waited until he was finished. Peter was so incredibly ashamed, he wanted to apologize a million times, but all he could do was gag as the taste in his mouth caused him to throw up once more.
Finally, it seemed like everything was out of his system… All that was left of the delicious dinner from before were the disgusting chunks left in his mouth, the mess on the ground, and the tears forming in his eyes.
“I hope it’s a bit better now…”
That was not the reaction he’d expected…
“Ursula, I’m so, so sorry…”
“Oh shush… Please don’t apologize… Come on, let’s get you cleaned up… I’ll make you some more tea.”
She really didn’t mind in the slightest. If anything, she was a bit upset he didn’t tell her that he wasn’t feeling well beforehand. Now he made himself sick! Poor guy…
While they waited for the water to boil, Ursula had filled him a glass with water, and told him to wash his mouth at the kitchen sink while she cleaned up the mess… Peter felt awful, he really didn’t want her to do this, but on the other hand, he also knew he’d probably get sick all over again if he had to clean that up now… Right as the kettle began to whistle, she came back, smiling warmly at him.
“Next time, please let me know when you’re not feeling well… I’m so sorry about this…”
“I’m sorry about this”, he almost whimpered.
“I didn’t want to ruin the evening, and now I did it anyway…”
“Shh… you didn’t ruin anything, I promise.”
The woman poured him another cup of tea, and gently rubbed over his cheek as she handed it to him. Peter felt himself blush lightly at that… she really was too good to be true…
“Would you like to lay down on the couch a bit…?”
“Yes, if that’s okay…”
“Of course it is, silly.”
Ursula gently pushed him towards the living room. Mentally, she was already going through which medicines she had at home that could help… Maybe she could make him a hot bottle at least. As Peter walked, he felt a familiar discomfort in his bowels once again, and he grimaced as another gas bubble pushed itself out of his behind… A hot, smelly fart was the result, bubbling rhythmically with his steps. For a moment, the young woman was tempted to laugh, but she knew better than to do so.
“I’m so-“
“Please, don’t apologize… I know what it feels like…”
Ursula carefully pushed him down on the couch, and smiled at him again, her warm eyes making him feel incredibly flustered… but also comforted.
“I don’t think I have any medicine here, but I can make you a hot bottle if you’d like.”
“No, Ursula, you really don’t have to…”
“But I’d like to help!”
“You’ve already done so much for me… Thank you, really, but I think this tea will do just fine…”
A soft sigh came out of her mouth, and she slowly sank down next to him. Her heart ached so much for him… she could only imagine how embarrassed and uncomfortable he must be, and how much his poor tummy must hurt… Ursula was awfully tempted to just reach over and give him a belly rub, but that would be strange, right…?
Glrrruurgrh…
“Uuurrp…”, the young man covered his mouth, almost fearing he could vomit again, but there was nothing left that his stomach could expel… Nothing but peppermint tea. Even though his poor organs should have an easier time dealing with just that, he was still not feeling well… his innards were still bubbling and churning, feeling a bit like lava was trying to work its way through him. Ursula winced a bit at the noise… it must be so painful…
“Uh-“, Peter was about to say something, but interrupted himself as the girl leaned against his shoulder. He could feel the heat rising to his face, making him grow red all over again-
“Ursula…?”
“Shhh…”
Her hand now wandered underneath his shirt after all, the warmth of her touch making him gasp lightly. Her fingers began to circle around his middle, carefully massaging into his skin and trying to soothe his upset belly.
“Urrrp… Ursula-“
PrrrbBBRBRRT!
“That’s it, just get it all out”, she smiled up at him a little.
“But…”
“No buts! You want to feel better, or not?”
There probably was no other woman in the world who’d encourage him to burp and fart, was there…? Peter really was a lucky guy… he leaned back a bit, resting her head against hers as he concentrated on the soothing sensation of her touch.

So, this Cutler guy... (CHP 2)
WOOOOO CHP 2
“The one thing that sucks about your place is that I can’t walk around with my hood up.” Ant said to Harm as they walked through one of the many thin alleyways.
“Just that?” Harm asked, staring ahead.
“Yeah. This is the only place where programs like to pull on my hair.” Ant pointed to her two long hair… prong… things. They looked so bizarre compared to the rest of her hair, which was thick, gray, and stopped just at her shoulders. The prongs were long, thin, jagged, and stuck up. When she’d put her hood down, they’d stick out a good foot away from her face. They always reminded Harm of antennas. He always suggested she could cut them off, but Ant declared they’re ‘too iconic’ to be removed.
“Buuut you’re here, so that cancels out the negatives.” She flashed her friend a smile.
Harm stared at her before facing the streets again.
“Another left.” He said as they were approaching a fork in the path. Since most of the pathways were surrounded by towering walls, it was easy to get lost, so Harm had his own way of remembering where to turn to reach the center of the city, a place where he and Ant would spend most of their time together.
The heart of the city was a hassle to get to, but it was probably the best part of the inner city. While most people had to enter buildings through windows, vents, or by crossing over sloppily bade bridges because most places were cramped together, and the alleyways were so thin that many doors could hardly open all the way, the heart was a wide open area. The structures surrounding the area created a large square border that could make any program feel boxed in, but you could actually see the sky thanks to how spaced out the buildings were. There wasn’t any scrap metal hanging overhead, no wires, nothing.
Harm looked ahead and spotted a wall covered in neon-colored graffiti, most of the writing and crudely painted characters were unrecognizable. It was one of the landmarks Harm used to guide his way through the area. “Right.”
The two took a sharp turn then continued walking straight. They could hear distant chatter getting louder. A bunch of programs loved to hang out at the heart, who could blame them? Plenty of room, good stores, good food to eat as you watch a great fight happen, and the chances of getting jumped were real slim. Harm personally loved to windowshop. There were always plenty of weapons and gears on programs that’d catch his attention.
The two finally exited the thin alleys and began roaming around the heart. Just as Harm expected, it was crowded. The groups of people scattered throughout the area, all loudly talking to one another as the faint buzzing of broken billboards could be heard, the graffiti on the walls, the flickering lights from both buildings and street lamps, and the odd aroma of burnt rubber fused with a cooked meal were far from charming, but they gave the city life.
Ant suddenly nudged him, “Yo, look over there.”
She pointed to a lady. Her face was narrow, her hair was white and in a sleek, high ponytail. Her circuitry colors were nothing special, white being her main one, and secondary being teal. She was with a group of friends, hands on hips, laughing at whatever was being said. She looked pretentious.
“What about her?” Harm stared at her, unamused.
“No, no, you’re not looking.” Ant guided his head to the lady’s heels.
Harm’s eyes lit up. Attached to the side of the heels was a light gray baton, one that’s able to generate a light cycle, no doubt. She must’ve been from another part of the grid, who else would be stupid enough to have their baton out in the open like this?
Harm clenched his fists. Man, just thinking of all the great parts he’d get from dismantling one of those… It electrifies him. Programs in this part of the city would do anything to get their hands on a light cycle. Nobody cared about the fact that driving through the thin, jagged roads was a death sentence, they just wanted to be fast.
The two watched the lady glance to the side, motion ‘One moment’ to her group, then walked into an alleyway.
“Now’s our chance, whaddaya say? You follow from behind and I go above?” Ang asked, a big, confident grin on her face. That was their usual tactic whenever they saw something they liked.
Harm was about to agree, he was almost ready to start tailing behind the program, but he stopped himself. His shoulders slumped and he let out a groan. “We can’t.”
“What? Why not?”
“There might be guards around.” Harm explained.
“So? That’s never stopped you before.” Ant said.
“Yeah, but before we were only dealing with one or two guards who were stupid enough to wander in. Last cycle, there were about five. The big ones too.” Harm started walking through the crowd, squeezing through clusters of people or shoving aside any program who didn’t pay attention to where they were walking. If he couldn’t snatch goods off of programs, he’ll have to look through the abandoned buildings. It’s not as fast--and it’s certainly not as fun--but he didn’t want to put up with programs making a scene and getting unwanted attention.
Ant’s eyes widened, “Woah, what happened yesterday? Did’ja get ratted out? Did they find you hackin’ off limbs?” She followed behind.
“No. Some random program busted into my place and the guards were tailing behind him. He made me break a window.”
“Someone broke in!? Man, I KNEW I should’ve visited yesterday!” Ant snapped her fingers.
“Yeah, made a dent in my schedule.” Harm grumbled. Harm thought of a small building not even a block away, it has--well, had--a large glass dome as a ceiling, and was one of the best looking places in this city. It wasn’t cramped between other structures, it wasn’t completely trashed with wires and broken metal, the programs who used to live there--scientists, apparently--took good care of their workplace despite living in this trashhole. That changed several cycles ago. Harm remembered waking up to a loud explosion one night, and when he roamed the streets the next cycle, programs were talking about how an ‘accident’ occured, how an experiment had ‘gone wrong’ and derezzed everyone inside.
Harm’s been wanting to rummage through that place ever since. No one’s tried to fix it or demolish it; other programs have probably already searched through it, looking for whatever goods those brainiacs had on them. Hopefully there’s still some decent things left.
“Hey, no rush with my suit, a’ight?” Ant pat him on the shoulder, “I know you got commissions you’re dealing with, and if I gotta use those disgusting chute suits for a few cycles, I don’t mind.”  
“Aren’t those the same thing as your wingsuit?” Harm raised a brow. He paid no mind to the other programs giving him glares and spiteful comments as he shoved them aside.
“No, you do not understand how ugly those chutes are. They don’t even FLY, they just glide me down like some stupid paper airplane.” Ant groaned, “And they’re SO fragile. The Renegade could sneeze on them and the wires would snap in two.”  
Ant’s mentioned the Renegade before, mostly ranting about how he’s made her work harder, how he keeps destroying their property, and how he’s giving Tesler constant headaches. He doesn’t blame her for going off, he sounds like a pain to deal with.
“Some programs are saying he’s Tron, which I hope isn’t true, cause I never imagined Tron sounding so whiny!” Ant got several strange looks from surrounding programs. There’ve been rumors here about the Renegade--about Tron--recently, and hardly any of them have been good. There were mentions of a potential reward if one were to capture and turn in this Renegade, or anyone working with him.
Harm could see the shattered dome just up ahead. He grabbed Ant’s hand and pulled her along, “Let’s go before these creeps get the wrong idea.”
“Whatever, my boss can kill ‘em!” She waved her hand dismissively.
“Yeah, well your boss isn’t here right now.”
They made it out of the sea of programs and arrived in front of the ruined building. A battered sign was placed on the wall, right beside the hole where the door once was. “Minu… Sinimo… Lab” That’s all Harm could make out.
He welcomed himself inside, Ant coming in as well. They both looked around. This was probably one of the better places they scavenged through. This lab managed to withstand an explosion from the inside and remain in one piece, the only missing chunks of this small, octogonal-shaped structure were the windows, the front door, and the giant glass dome above them. Only a quarter of the glass roof was still standing, it was a dustier, lighter orange compared to the neighboring buildings, which had a much more vibrant version of the same color. The remains of the roof were scattered all over the floor and furniture, glistening from the city lights.
Harm noticed a crooked staircase that led to the second floor--well, it was more like an indoor balcony. It was trapezoid shaped, placed comfortably between the walls, and there was a thin black railing that stretched across the edge. It made the lab feel much less hollow, and Harm was impressed to see the black columns supporting it still standing. He was also surprised the programs here had the blessing of stairs instead of needing to use vents.
Underneath the platform were multiple tables pressed against the wall with an array of items laying on top of them, mostly beakers and test tubes. Come to think of it, there were a lot of tables in this place. Right when they walked through the front door, Harm could see nine tables broken into rows of threes. Maybe if the programs spent more money on better security than tables, they’d still be here.
There were other bits of furniture besides the tables, there were chairs--of course, whiteboards with wheels that had smeared writing, and random chunks of machinery that got crushed by debris.
“Check it!” Ant grabbed onto a short metal pipe sticking out of the rubbage and yanked it out. The pile of trash collapsed and scattered over the floor, the loud tumbling causing Harm to cringe.
She tossed the pipe into the air then caught it again before holding it over her shoulder, “A replacement for my bat!”
“You have a disc.” Harm pointed out as he approached one of the tables, shoving aside the chunks of cement and metal on top. A nice variety of tools were hidden under the garbage.
“Yeah, but…” Ant lowered her head, “Not a fan of it. Bats are cooler.”
“You don’t know how to use it.” Harm said as he picked up a power drill, observing it to make sure it was still usable. He’s never seen Ant use her disc before. Granted, what she was programmed to do didn’t involve any fighting, just keeping her ears open for information and sharing it with her boss.
“I kinda do. Oh, hey!” Ant’s eyes lit up and she scurried over to Harm’s side, “I could totally teach you the few moves I do know!”
“Thanks, I’ll remember that next time I want to derezz myself.” Harm grabbed the rest of the tools on the table and held them firmly. He made his way to the stairs.
“Come on, you won’t even give my idea a go?”
“I don’t know if walking in here made you forget what the rest of this dump looks like, but Argon has much more open space compared to here.” Harm stated, sounding rather aggravated. He stepped over a couple of broken steps and observed the platform. It had far less rubbish on it compared to the first floor, only broken parts of a large pipe and shards of glass laid on the ground. Lab equipment, more machinery, many of the inventions here had already been dismantled, making it nearly impossible to figure out what they once were.
A wide open folder splayed on top of a counter, which laid parallel to the rails, caught Harm’s eye. He wandered over there, looking through the giant hole in the ceiling. The specs of orange light coming from the towering buildings above looked quite nice, honestly. Reminded him of stars.
He set the tools down and grabbed the folder, tons of crumpled papers sat beside it. He started flipping through the contents, a grin began to form on his face.
“Nice…” He said to himself.
“Ooooh, whadja find?” Ant’s footsteps could be heard rushing up the metal steps.
“Blueprints.” He flipped through the pages to show Ant. The tears and incredibly messy handwriting would’ve made it difficult to decipher what the blueprints were going on about, but luckily the refined drawings provided clarity. Ant could spot sketches of disc enhancements, upgrades for tanks, and batons that could summon all sorts of tools.
“The programs here were making weapons. No wonder they were attacked.” Harm said.
Ant stopped and pointed at one of the pages, “Hey, I’ve seen those! Tesler commissioned a whole bunch of ‘em at one point for the guards.”
She held her pipe vertically with both hands, “They, like--I think there’s a button facing them, or they twist the top a certain way, so when they lift it up and hit the ground, it causes these weird quakes? Well, not really ‘quakes’, but it moves the ground a whole bunch. Cool stuff!”
“Mhm.” He didn’t express it, but that did sound cool. He wondered if there was a way he could use that feature in the future. As he closed the folder, he started fantasizing of all the weapons he could make and modify for himself, the upgrades he could give to other programs, the money he’d make. It’ll be great.
“You wanna keep lookin’ around?” Ant asked. “I got all I need.” She spun her pipe around.
“Same here.” Harm walked towards the railings and lept over them, landing on his feet with a loud thud that echoed throughout the lab. Ant landed beside him.
“I got the tools,” Harm continued, “and plenty of work to keep me busy.” He said as he eyed the thick folder, the electrifying feeling running through him again.

Darkwing Duck Reviews: Tiff of the Titans
Tumblr media
Uh-Oh, Gizmoduck Comes to town! In the first of a series of reviews building up to Just Us Justice Ducks,  the dopey, arrogant, anti-charasmatic, national embarrassment heads to St. Canard to guard a super weapon from F.O.W.L. Naturally, he ends up being more of a problem for our hero than the actual bad guys. Also a look at Tad Stone’s claims the series isn’t in the same universe as Ducktales.  Full review and recap commissioned by @weirdkev27​ under the cut
This review, much like Death, Taxes and Thanos, was inevitable. I’d been planning to watch and review the first appearances of each of the justice ducks and fearsome five as my next step in watching Darkwing duck anyway, and while I’ve already got one member’s appearance in the wings anyway, I’ll get to that tomorrow or Saturday just in time for Halloween, hint hint, Kev pushed this one into the queue with a commission and I  was happy to take the side trip to see just what the Darkwing version of Gizmoduck and Steelbeak, two of my favorites in the reboot, were like originally. So welcome folks to the build to the greatest superhero team made up of ducks of all time, let’s get quackin. 
We open, here in Duckburg, where the Eggmen are breaking in. Sadly they do not have the master plan, but they are here to steel the Comarant, a super powerful land, sea and air device the military is storing there. They instead find Gizmoduck! Who makes a good first impression, being a hoaky superman parody in iron man’s costume in this continuity, but it’s a nice way to contrast to Darkwing’s batman parody with a touch of Sandman.. the pulp one not the neil gaiman one.  Sadly he doesn’t have a cool gas mask but the Darkwing Duck costume is iconic without it. 
Point is the eggmen are easily repelled, though they do get away by blasting Gizmo with a tank. The General in charge is thankful for Gizmoduck’s help, but notes the Comarant will be heading to St. Canard soon for a demonstration at the big air show, and asks that Giz go over and protect it, maybe even work with Darkwing to protect it. Though Gizmo shoots that down, and not only insults Darkwing but says he’s not sure if he’s good or bad. While the latter comment did sour me on the guy.. research bears out Darkwing has been framed once or twice, and my own experience with the pilot saw him you know breaking out of jail and basically clamming superheroes are above the law, so I COULD get why someone wouldn’t trust him, even if Giz’s attitude about it still isn’t great. So fenton quick changes behind a sign and heads off to see his old buddy Launchpad.  A quick aside before we get going this episode doesn’t so much torch Tad Stone’s retroactive claim this isn’t the same universe as Ducktales, as burn it to ashes, take a whiz on those ashes and send each separate ash on a seperate probe to the farthest reaches of space. This episode not only has a cameo by Scrooge on a billboard.. but it’s one for DUCKBURG. Where Gizmoduck is said to be from. He also knows launchpad well, and vice versa, and outright mentions McDuck Manor. the episode couldn’t be saying “this is the same universe as ducktales’ harder if Scrooge himself showed up and started ranting about a Sea Monster eating his ice cream. I do like and respect Tad Stones, but I will never like or respect this claim of his and even if HE had that idea in his head during production of the show, it’s very clear everyone else including Disney who greenlit the Darkwing Duck comics explicitly connecting the two universes, felt it was a shared universe, and there’s really no reason they can’t coexist. 
If it’s because “Well launchpad wouldn’t leave scrooge”.. besides the fact Scrooge tried to fire him MULTIPLE times, it’s not farfetched Scrooge would put him in charge of a hangar both because he trusts him.. and to get rid of him since he doesn’t like Launchpad very much. Plus Donald has to come back from his tour of duty sometime and likely could easily do Launchpad’s job as pilot, as he did in the source material. My point is there’s tons of ways to write the man out easily, and he could just as easily be doing both jobs like in the reboot. This feels like a weird, unnecessary retcon no one wanted and everyone just politely ignores, like the creators of Doug saying he and Patti didn’t end up together after High School. Which even then makes more sense than this claim, since at least there I get the creators not thinking a high school romance would last forever. That’s fair.. it’s just not something fans really wanted to hear after spending two separate series and a movie getting them together. It would be like if Girl Meets World had revealed Cory and Topanga had divorced. Yes it’d be possible since they’d broken up twice over the course of the series, but no one wanted that, why would you do that. I’m getting off topic, the point is a few breakups aside Doug and Patti clearly married eventually, and Darkwing Duck and Ducktales are in the same universe. Sometimes you just have to ignore Word of God for your own sanity.
Back at the actual episode we cut to Steelbeak’s Bowling Alley Hideout... and I do love a job that allows me to say things like that. But in a really fantastic bit Steelbeak is bowling his minions over as punishment for failure.. even though they have a valid reason but eh he’s the bad guy and he has to get his bowling average up for FOWL’s bowling team somehow. Their insurance covers evil punishment related accidents anyways, they’ll be fine. 
But yeah let’s talk about Steelbeak for a second. I honestly hadn’t seen any of the original version so I was curious.. and he’s really damn awesome. Rob Paulsen always does a great job though and is always a pleasure, but he really does a good job here and with the contrast in him: He’d seem like a dumb thug, what with his gangster accent and general cockiness and swagger.. but he backs it up with great combat and even greater planning. He’s a schemer, a fighter and damn if he isn’t fun to watch.  It also makes me love the reboot version even more. While I already loved him for being played by Jason Mantzokus, being enjoyably dim, while also still enough of a threat to be freaking cool, it’s even cooler knowing he’s still fundamentally the same character. Much like Drake he’s simply been tweaked a bit. For drake it was softening the edges since Ducktales isn’t as broad a show, and neither will the darkwing reboot i’m betting, so his ego and selfishness is sanded down considerably. For Steelbeak it’s giving him an actual origin: Instead of starting at the top of FOWL, he’s starting as a very competent but very wet behind the ears and full of himself agent, working his way up to becoming justifably full of himself like the original show. He has the same swagger and badassery, he’s just not a master planner yet and he’ll get there. Like many of the reboot characters, he’s simply an already great character given some extra depth and rounding out. I love both and can’t wait to see him again next ep and hopefully he’ll show up in the Darkwing reboot so they can go for round 2. 
So with that out of the way, Darkwing naturally interrupts, and cleans house with his gas gun, forcing Steelbeak and his crew to literally go underground into the sewers. This successfully fools drake, and Steelbeak bemoans how both Darkwing and Gizmoduck have been thwarting his plans.. until he gets a great idea; pit them against each other so he can pilfer the comerant while their too busy fighting. It’s a classic supervillain tactic, and one that works perfectly because one of them’s an egotist and a dick and the other is also that but with more style and likeability.  Back at Drake’s place, Gosalyn and Honker are watching a horror movie they clearly aren’t supposed to till Drake and launchpad come back in via their easy chairs flipping them in from Darkwing Tower which is just.. really cool. I like it. I also like that much like the Shakespeare bust in Wayne Manor, Darkwing has his own neat statue to provide acess to his lair... a tiny bronze statue of Basil from the Great Mouse Detective.. I REALLY need to fucking watch that film but it’s a nice nod. But yeah Launchpad brought them back because he feels drake could use a break while Drake refuses to stop because crime never stops and he doesn’t have time for it and your usual self destructive bollocks. It’s interrupted by a knock at the door? 
Tumblr media
It’s Fenton! Whose stopped in to see his old buddy launchpad, who is happy to see his old friend and the two catch up, though Drake dosen’t like the interuption because Classic Drake is kind of a grumpus. Fenton naturally is here because Gizmoduck is but says he’s doing a job for the military.. which makes no sense but given Drake doesn’t know what he does and Launchpad dares to be stupid, if not nearly as stupid as his reboot version, no one questions it. When Fenton says he needs to find a hotel Launchpad, being Launchpad, invites him to stay and while Fenton watches the movie with the kids, Drake wants him gone because you know he has a secret identity to keep and a case to work on and they don’t know if they can trust him with it. It’s fair.. but since this is Drake he almost handles it with the subtly of a howitzer. But before he can try to literally throw Fenton out on his ass, a news report comes on about an attack at a local theater and both head off to take care of it.. we also get a nice moment where both react to it with the same words at the same time.  Fenton.. is actually really likeable. He’s a bit awkward, more in that he sort of barges in and makes himself comfy.. but it’s very easy to see from this and the one Ducktales episode of his i’ve seen where the utterly marvelous reboot version gets some traits from: his nervousness, his pluckness, his lack of thinking things through ocasionally when he’s not overthinking them. Fenton is charming. The issue is once he switches on the costume he goes from utterly charming to punchable REALLL quick. I’ll explain my problems with his alter ego in a sec. 
At the theater Steelbeak fakes it to look like Darkwing’s doing the bombing, if half haphazardly and leaves Darkwing with the bomb so when Gizmo shows up he thinks he’s responsible. Darkwing naturally says it wasn’t him, but Gizmo dosen’t buy it and asks if he’s so good how come he wears a mask... says the guy in a helmeted visor’s whose only defense when that’s pointed out is it came with the suit. Which yes is a joke.. but it fails to land and instead of being funny just makes Gizmo look like a hypocritical dick whose assuming someone is evil based on flimsy evidence, and what’s very obviously a setup. it makes him come off as the biggest dumbass alive instead of this world’s superman and that is annoying. More ranting about him in a minute. We do end up getting an incredibly funny bit where the two end up arguing over who gets to defuse a bomb, with both wrestling over it till Gizmoduck takes care of it and both fall into the theater. Gizmoduck tries to arrest Darkwing who ignores him and runs off.  The next day the Mallard family, including Honker naturally, watches Gizmoduck get a parade, a key to the city and other good stuff on the news while Drake sulks before turning it off. And yeah i’ve waited long enough let’s talk about this version of Gizmoduck and why he does not work. I get in theory he’s supposed to be “The Cape”, minus the cape: The big cheese that everyone looks up to and loves to Darkwing’s  dark avenger of the night, a parody of that whose also really dumb. The issue is two fold. The first is .. the classic archtypical cape type chracter has been parodied to hell and back by 2020. He’s been a monster, an asshole and as with here an idiot. And even for then a superman parody, if not in apperance or powers but in treatment, whose really dumb wasn’t very new. 
And you CAN parody a big silver age type hero: Justice League International did so well without being too overt, having most of the team either annoyed or actively hostile to Shazam/Captain Marvel. But it was done well there because well.. billy’s a very corny very earnest and likeable kid in an adult’s body. To us he’s charming and loveable. But to a bunch of actual adults he’d be offputting at best and annoying at worst. While some have been annoyed at how he was handled, I a fan of both JLI and Shazam liked it and thought it was an interesting take. Another REALLY good and REALLY hilarious take on this is from fellow superhero action comedy Danny Phantom, one of my favorites and one I need to revisit. One episode had Danny split himself in two so he could crimefight and have fun with his friends resulting in one self whose a burnt out slacker, and another whose an over the top crimefighter who says things like “you Felonious fiend!” And “This looks like a job for the vacuum cleaner!”. It’s a damn good episode. My point is it’s been better done before and since. 
What doesn’t help is the episode tries to paint it as equal, since Darkwing’s problem in part is Gizmoduck stealing his thunder.. but it doesn’t work. Darkwing is a fully fleshed out character we know and love who despite his huge ego and rampant jackassery, is a decent person whose fought hard for St. Canard, loves his daughter and most damingly... is entertainingly sickish. Gizmoduck’s dickery just makes him come off less likeable and incredibly dense, while Darkwing’s is part of his charm and, along with his ego, has backfired enough to balance it out. Gizmo just doesn’t get comeuppance for his behavior, and instead gets rewarded with a parade, a key to the city, cheerleaders and Gosalyn looking up to him just for having powers in his gadgets. And really his methods aren’t that different from dark wing: While Darkwing is secretive, a loner and uses gadgets.. Gizmoduck’s suit is basically one BIG gadget, and he refuses to see. And I get that’s probably the joke but it just. doesn’t. LAND. It just makes him insufferable. And as far as I can tell in the original show he wasn’t: he was an awkward dork we root for like in the reboot, not a gloryhogging jackass whose squandered his good will long before he gets Darkwing isn’t evil and tries working with him to the point I don’t care by the time that happens: He’s already been so obnoxious it dosen’t make up for it. Maybe later appearances are better but he’s just a chore to watch in costume here. And that’s WITHOUT comparing him to the 2017 version, one of my favorites there, one of the best animated superheroes i’ve seen in a long time, and a toughly likeable character who struggles due to his superhero identity but took it up for exactly the right reasons and wants to help people. Darkwing Gizmoduck thinks he’s the cape and an inspiration when a good guy when he’s worse than the guy he hates at times. Reboot Gizmo is an honest, decent guy who simply wants to help people and use the gizmotech as a way to do that, to help change the world for the better and save the helpless, and only clashes with Darkwing due to his ego and lack of understanding that Gizmoduck and him really aren’t that different. Finally if THIS is why Tad Stones wants them to be different universes, because this Fenton is different from the Ducktales one in personality.. then that’s on HIM. That’s on him for writing this version poorly or letting him get written so poorly and not on the fans who had no reason not to connect a dot. God this character was disappointing and hopefully when I watch more of him at work in Ducktales, he isn’t this obnoxious, nor will he hopefully be in his sequel episodes.  Thankfully moving on Darkwing gets to work, because you know he has experience, and finds Steelbeak trying to pilfer the cormorant but Captain Clueless interrupts and tries to arrest him. The two then finally fight and while it’s sadly short, it’s a fun clash and I genuinely hope the reboot has it’s own fight with them, as given how damn good they are at fight scenes, it’s bound to be even more awesome. But Steelbeak gets away, and uses the comarant’s secret weapon.. a giant fake egg that drops a giant pile of yolk to drown them. Gizmo finally realizes he’s been fighting the wrong guy but our hero's are now running out of time. Darkwing , being the actually capable one here, has Gizmo uses his propeller to beat the eggs and the two head off.. though after a funny bit where Gizmo breaks the Ratcatcher’s sidecar Darkwing lets him use his spare tier, which is huge and likely intended for the main vehicle. Good stuff.  The two get after Steelbeak and while Gizmo makes me pray for death but death won’t come we get a fun battle with Steelbeak including Steelbeak using his beak to bite down and destroy the gas gun. It’s a damn fun bit I must say. But eventually the good guys win, disable the comarant and Darkwing beats Steelbeak. The day is save, FOWL is foiled, our heroes are on shaky but better terms, and Drake and Fenton depart on good if equally shaky terms, before arguing about which of them is better. And we’re out.  Final Thoughts: This.. was a disappointingly mixed bag. Gizmoduck REALLY drug down what was otherwise a good episode with a great concept: Bringing in a hero whose stronger and more popular than Darkwing.. but mostly uses it to make Darkwing look good, which he didn’t need, and make Gizmoduck look REALLY bad, intentionally or otherwise. Steelbeak is a delight and his plan, and the egg trap, are really good, and as mentioned there are enough good set pieces to prevent this from being a terrible episode.. but as an old friend says for me time and time again...

Deal’s End (8)
I'll always love you and make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me and love another You'll regret it all some day
-You Are My Sunshine by Jimmie Davis
(Read on AO3)
---
Marinette didn’t see Felix again before she went to bed. Her confusing thoughts from earlier only grew with his absence. Before when the thought of him leaving had felt bittersweet the idea that she wouldn’t be able to talk to him again hurt deep in her chest now. She liked Felix. She liked being around him and having fun with him. She liked talking with him and walking home with him.
Perhaps this was a form of Stockholm Syndrome. Wanting your demonic roommate to stay with you because you now see them as a friend. She doubted that anyone else could relate to her though. And she couldn’t talk to anyone about this since no one knew of Felix’s true nature. She was stuck alone in a dark room with her racing thoughts and heavy heart.
Maybe...maybe he could visit after he left. She hadn’t heard Felix mention that he was confined to Hell unless he was summoned. Maybe he would be able to pop up once in a while to say hi. They could grab lunch...play a game of Mecha Strike.
“UGH!” She buried her face in her pillow. Why was she getting so worked up about this now? Yeah she kinda saw Felix as her friend but there was no use worrying about life after he was gone when he was still very much in her life.
But for how much longer though? Once she was Adrien’s girlfriend Felix would be gone.
She forced the thoughts out of her head. This was not the night to worry about this. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The next day was a lazy day spent inside. The weather had taken a bad turn and a torrential downpour soaked the city. Marinette spent it in her room catching up on work and reorganizing. Pretty much anything to keep her mind busy and off of the looming worries for the future. Felix had reappeared in the morning though he was far quieter than usual. He mainly kept off to the side scribbling stuff down in his notebook. Randomly he would tear a page out and burn the paper instantaneously in his hand before starting again.
Marinette had asked what he was doing to which he gave a vague answer of ‘stuff.’ She tried to peek over his shoulder but he hid the page from view. “Nosy girl.”
“Why won’t you let me see what you’re doing?” Marinette asked.
“It’s none of your business.”
“Will you show me if I get you eclairs?” she smiled as the bribe hit its mark.
He looked up at her, his eyes widened at the promise of chocolatey foods. “How many eclairs?”
“As many as it takes for you to show me what’s on that paper.”
“I want ten eclairs and one of those red velvet cupcakes from the bakery.”
“Okay.” Marinette started heading downstairs. “It better not be something stupid!”
She grabbed the snacks from the bakery and went back up for the trade. She held out the box to Felix who reluctantly swapped it with his notebook. On the page was the start of a rough sketch hunched over a table. “You draw?” Marinette smiled as she took in the new information. “I didn’t know that about you.”
“It helps pass the time.” He shrugged as he downed another eclair.
She looked closer at the figure trying to figure out what he was going for from the rough outline. Then she saw the pigtails to the back of the hunched figure’s head. The box on top of the table...it was a sewing machine. Felix had been drawing her work.
She wanted desperately to ask why but figured it was for the best she not let on she knew it was her he was drawing and handed the notebook back. “It’s very good.”
“I’ve barely started.”
“Yeah but I can tell.” She plucked the half eaten eclair out of his hand. “That being said try not to get crumbs all over my chaise.”
“That was mine!” He made a pathetic grab for the bite of eclair she held.
“Not anymore.” She popped it into her mouth. “That was a nice break but I need to get back to work.” She sat down at her machine and picked up where she had left off. She wanted to talk to him about what happened last night but thought it better for another day. Or maybe she was too scared of what answer he would give to ask.
The rest of the day passed by without incident and with it their weekend off came to a close. Monday was upon them and so was Felix’s vigor to throw Marinette head first into situations with Adrien. She had gotten better at handling the sudden interactions. Maybe spending more time together had finally neutralized her utter terror of being alone with him cause now she could talk to him almost normally. Heck, she was even cracking jokes!
“So did you want to hang out after school?” Marinette asked Adrien.
“I’d like to but I got a photoshoot today.” Adrien sighed, “Maybe next time.”
“Oh okay.” Marinette smiled despite her disappointment. She went to Felix with a small shake of her head. “He said he has a photoshoot and can’t hang out. His dad must have penned it in last minute because I had no idea.”
“That sucks.” Felix paced the back of the classroom. “But you look really good today and you have confidence in talking to him. I don’t want to waste either of those.”
“But he’s going to be working and there’s no way his dad is going to let him out of it. Let’s just go home and try again tomorrow.” Marinette stared down at her toes. “This is kinda fortuitous cause I wanted to talk to you about the other night--”
“Wait! I got it!” Felix grabbed her and pulled her out into the hall. Everyone was filtering out of the school building including Adrien. “Do you know where the photoshoot is?”
“Uh, the weather is nice and summer is on the way so they’re probably doing a summer shoot in the park. Why?”
“Cause we can still work with this. Follow me!” Felix dashed out of the school with Marinette shortly behind. Sure enough they got to the park and the shoot was being set up.
“Okay, we’re here.” Marinette panted as she caught her breath. “What now? You’re just going to walk onto the set?”
“That was the plan.” Felix started walking towards the workers. Adrien’s security guard stopped them from getting closer to the set.
“Excuse me sir,” Felix said, “Could you move aside? We’re here for the photoshoot.”
The bodyguard remained in place. “You see, I am one of the models working today so I kinda need in.”
The bodyguard nodded and moved out of the way. Felix pulled Marinette through. “Felix, you’re not a model.” She whispered.
“Harsh, I think I’m pretty good looking.”
“That’s not what I meant. You are literally not a model employed by Gabriel Agreste. How long do you expect that excuse to work?”
“As long as possible. Demon powers, remember?”
“Right!” Marinette had almost forgotten. “So we’re okay?”
“We are golden.” They celebrated their little infiltration before Adrien noticed they were there.
“Hey guys,” He greeted them, “What are you two doing here?”
“I got called in last minute to fill in for a sick model.” Felix lied smoothly.
“Oh, I had no idea you were a model too.” Adrien breamed instantly taken in by the lie.
“Minor. It helps pay the bills.” Felix shrugged. “I hope you don’t mind that I brought Marinette. Seeing as how she loves fashion so much.”
“Not at all.” Adrien waved to her, “Guess we get to hang out after all.”
“You two have fun I need to find wardrobe.” Felix wandered off. Wait, was he actually going to do the shoot?
“Did you know Felix was a model?” Adrien asked Marinette.
“I didn’t have a clue until he dragged me over here.” She said. She looked over Adrien’s outfit. White tee shirt with blue pants and tan shoes. “I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this is part of the ready made summer collection you’re dad’s putting out this summer?”
“That it is. What do you think?”
“I would kill to be able to work with grade A material like this all the time.” Marinette sighed as she felt the cottony texture of his sleeve. “I just blew all my money buying organza for a dress I’m making.”
“Oh really? Were you commissioned or is it just for yourself?”
“For myself. It’s a sheer overlay that is supposed to sorta party wear with a low-key formal vibe.”
“How far have you gotten?”
“Pretty far actually. I started pinning it together on my dress form not too long ago. I’m using strips of silver ribbon to sew onto the hem and make a little criss cross pattern across the bust. The most nerve wracking part was that I decided to make it a high-low silhouette and I knew I only had one shot to cut it correctly so I am so relieved it’s turned out okay.”
“I hope to see it one day.”
“Hello, I am back,” Felix joined the once more. “Now, I know I look amazing but neither of you swoon in my presence.”
“Oh yeah, you look so good.” Marinette rolled her eyes before she finally actually looked at him. The sarcastic remark turning bitter as she realized that he did in fact look pretty darn good in the outfit they had put him in. It wasn’t anything special, a blue button up shirt with white pants and brown shoes. What struck Marinette was that the whole time she’d known Felix all she had ever seen him wear was primarily reds and blacks. This was the first time she had seen him in something so light.
“Something on your mind, love?” Felix smirked at her when he caught her staring.
“Shut it.” she tweaked his nose. “But I will say you do look...what’s the word I’m looking for?”
“Devilishly handsome?” Felix suggested.
“I was gonna say, angelic.” Marinette smirked right back at him.
“Oh really?” Felix gaped at her with an open smile, “Alright, if that’s how you want to play this.”
“Is this an inside joke I’m not understanding?” Adrien asked clearly confused as to why Marinette’s compliment had been met with such good natured disdain.
“Yeah.” Marinette laughed. “I won’t bother trying to explain. It’s a long story and you’d really have to be there to understand it.”
One of the assistants ran past the three teenagers and pulled the photographer away. That was weird. A minute later the photographer came back with a pained expression. “Something wrong, Giuseppe?” Adrien asked.
“The female model for the shoot is sick and can’t make it. We will have to reschedule the entire shoot if we cannot find another model to take her place.” The photographer rubbed his temples.
“I have a suggestion,” Felix spoke up. He cast a wicked sideways glance towards Marinette. Oh he had better not! “Our friend Marinette here isn’t half bad looking. Could she fill in?”
“Felix!” She warned, “I’m not a model. I couldn’t possibly--”
“Oh please, mademoiselle,” The photographer begged. “It is a small shoot after all. Could you fill in just this once?”
“I don’t--”
“You should do it.” Adrien encouraged. “I think you’d make a great model.”
“Well…” She looked back at the manic photographer and sighed. “Okay.”
“Perfecto! Ladies!” He shouted for the stylists. “Get this girl through make up and wardrobe now!”
Marinette was carted off and put into a small tent area to change. She sat in a chair as the stylists quickly but masterfully did her hair and make up before kicking her out onto the set. Unlike the boys were sporting white and blue, Marinette was dressed in a soft yellow sundress that floated around her gently in the breeze.
“There she is!” The photographer pushed her out to where the two boys were already staged. “Now, the look for this shoot is that you two boys are the sky and clouds and our pretty girl here is the bright sun between you. Dewy smiles, relaxed positions, I want you three to move around naturally so we can get some natural shots.”
The boys seemed to understand immediately what they were supposed to do but Marinette stood in the middle stiff as a board. Why had she let them talk her into this? It was probably Felix influencing them with his powers to let them agree to this.
“Darling,” The photographer locked eyes with her, “Can you please move around and give us a smile, hm?”
“Oh right,” She put on a smile and tried to copy what the boys were doing but she just felt ridiculous. The boys noticed her struggling and suddenly she was being spun around really fast by Felix.
“Whoa!” She almost stumbled but was caught by Adrien. “Sorry!”
“It’s okay. Loosen up,” Adrien gave her a slower spin, “This is supposed to be fun.”
“Fun.” Marinette took a deep breath, “I can do that.”
After that things went smoother. It didn’t feel so much like posing but messing around with two friends. At one point both of the boys picked her up so she was sitting in the air with arms around either of them. The photographer really liked that shot.
“Alright,” The photographer set the camera down, “Signore Adrien, you are done for the day.”
“This was a lot of fun.” Adrien turned to Marinette and Felix. “These shoots can be pretty boring but having you guys here was so much better. Hopefully I’ll get to work with you again sometime.”
“It was fun after I got used to it.” Marinette said, “But I gotta say I think I prefer making clothes instead of modeling them.”
“Darling, Signore,” The photographer waved to the teenagers, “If you two could come back to set. I wanted to get some shots of just the two of you.”
“Who? Us?” Marinette pointed to her and Felix.
“Yes, it is time for Signore Adrien to head home but you two have such good chemistry. That is if you do not have anywhere to be.” The photographer said.
Good chemistry…
“I don’t have anywhere else to be.” Felix looped an arm around Marinette, “And I know you don’t. How about it?”
“Uh sure.” Marinette said bye to Adrien before joining Felix back on the set.
“The model lie work a little too well?” Marinette asked under her breath so only Felix could hear.
“I can’t help it that we look good.” Felix responded. “Also, you’re now going to grace magazines and media dressed like a ray of sunshine and sandwiched between two extremely attractive fellas. Do you have any idea how envious people are gonna be of you?”
“I don’t want people to envy me. I just wanted to have a fun time with my friends.” Marinette sighed. “But a little exposure in any way can help down the line.”
“Friends?” Felix paused his posing for a second to stare at her.
“Yeah.” Marinette grabbed his hand and stretched to twirl him. “We are friends...aren’t we?”
Felix smiled once more and picked Marinette up and spun her around. A surprised laugh leapt out of her throat as she spun the air in his arms. “Felix!”
“And to think you wanted to get rid of me!” He laughed too. “No take backs either, love.”
“Put me down!” Marinette playfully swatted him on top of his head. He set her back on her feet as she tried to slow the spinning of her head. “You are so dramatic.”
“Well I’m sorry. You don’t get a whole lot of friends where I’m from.” He held Marinette straight so she didn’t sway. “I got a little excited.”
“Obviously.” She ruffled his hair. “Which means you’ll need to come visit after you leave.”
“Leave?” Felix looked confused for a moment before the understanding parted the clouds in his mind. “Oh yes, of course.”
“You will be able to come back and visit, won’t you?” Marinette pressed. Felix gave her a sad look.
“Marinette…”
“I think we have it!” The photographer stepped forth waving his camera excitedly. “Your pictures were perfection, darlings! The expressions so sincere! The poses and body language between you so natural! These will grace magazines and billboards all across Paris!”
“Oh great,” Felix nodded. “Does that mean we are free to go now?”
“Yes,” The photographer stepped aside to let them go get changed. “And if either of you want to make a career out of modelling I know a wonderful agency that would take the both of you in a heartbeat.”
“Thank you, sir.” Marinette stayed to look at a couple of the photos he had taken before going to change.
She was in the middle of pulling her pants back on when Felix popped his head in. “Hey are you--” he noticed her stooped over with her pants around her ankles and snorted. “Are those dumplings on your underwear?”
“GET OUT!” Marinette hiked her pants up and chased him out of the dressing room forgetting her shoes and bag behind her. She chased Felix around the park in her bare feet. “You are so dead!”
“This isn’t very friendly behaviour!” he shrieked as he ran from her.
“Neither is what’s gonna happen when I catch you!” Marinette let out a hysterical laugh as they played their game. Questions she had and answers she feared still sat in her mind but she let them alone for now. She didn’t know how much longer she was gonna have this with Felix and she wanted to make it last while it did.

Match Up pws ♡(ŐωŐ人)
First, thank your hard work and doing Match Ups!♡ Arigatou *bows* So, I sent you my selfies already x3 About me…. Uh, I am a Pisces, Hogwarts House is Hufflepuff. I love videogames and to write (and hate it at the same time lmao xD;), love to read (mostly… manga… does this even count as reading?) and I love art, also love to go to museums.
I am very chaotic and forgetful and I would describe myself as loyal. I sadly trust too easily and got hurt a lot because of that. But still I do, because I wanna see only the good things in people. I often feel like I am not good enough, but I try my very best.
At first I am veeeery shy, I hardly can even talk! But when I am comfortable with someone I talk a lot (a lot of nonsense, but why not xP) 
I love to laugh, but I cry very easily. My humor is rather dirty and dark. I LOVE alcohol x’D I prefer short jeans, leather jackets and boots over dresses, but sometimes I wear cute stuff too. I meet many people at work and I am happy and proud about how they often compliment me for being a very kind girl and that they get happy when they see me. Often people also describe as “nuts, but in a positive way.” (T-Thank you….? xD)
What I HATE about myself is my jealousy. I really can be jealous easily, also because of what happened in my past. I also want to learn to love myself >.< I tend to give up very easily, but a day or few days later I am full with energy again and continue what I tried. 
Uhhh, what else…. I LOVE to cuddle and kiss and when I am in love then I love with all my heart <3 I do believe in real love and love at first sight.
Omg, congratulations and my deepest respects if you read all of this… Thank you ♡ *bows* m(u.u)m
Hi, there love! here is ya combination matchup! Thank you so much @towa-no-yume for the request! I had so much fun writing this for ya! I hope you enjoy!  
Tumblr media
Selfie matchup part
So I match you with………………….. Leonardo
Ooooh this boy loves the badass look you have going on. Leather jackets and jeans! This boy is in love
He has seen many a woman in his life but none as captivating as you
He hasn’t pained in a long time, but all he thinks when he sees your vibrant hair and bright eyes is that he has to capture this moment in time. You are breathtakingly beautiful
Despite your bold look, your body language screams kind, caring playful person
You low key reminds him of a cute little kitten with your radiant curious eyes and playful smile
I can definitely see the pair of you nestled together napping in the most random sunny spots around the mansion
I match you with…………………. Nobunaga
The first time he sees you after you pulled him from the flames, he can't help but think he was just saved by a goddess of fire
Your hair was so beautiful, like the blazing, brilliant orange-red hues of the most perfect sunset
And don’t even get me started on your eyes! How they contrasted the bold richness of your hair. It was like fire on the water – just unique and beautiful
Nobunaga had never seen such beautiful eyes. He was absolutely captivated by your eyes. The way they reminded him of a tempest at sea, filled with so much knowledge and curiosity.
Once you told him you enjoyed coloring your different hair colors; he was so intrigued. You show him a pic of all the different colors you had dyed it throughout the years.
He couldn’t help but think every color you had chosen was similar in the aspect of they always brought out your big beautiful eyes and that each color undeniably reminded him of the most radiant sunset.
You had instantly captured his heart; you looked like a walking contradiction, bold and rebellious yet sweet and gentle.
You were like a true fireball shooting across the night sky
His heart was stolen by the mysterious stranger that had just saved him
Also, there is just something about a girl in jeans and leather that this boi can’t ignore
He had made up his mind, he had never believed in the red string of fate but your hair and presence was enough to have him believe that the two of you were truly tied together by the legendary string.
Now for the rest of the matchup
The first time you saw Nobunaga, he was staring at you awestruck. You felt a lil self-conscious staring into those carmine eyes of his. You honestly couldn’t stop your brain from thinking, “Hello manly man,” you low key fell in love at first sight. You asked the universe for a handsome man, and here he was, asking you to rule the world at his side. Okay all jokes aside you are very drawn to Nobu, his super-hot and he had that whole bad boy vibe about him that attracts all the girls. The two of you honestly just stared at each other for a solid minute, not saying a word until he broke the silence. He was shook that you didn’t even know who you had just saved. He asked you what you wanted as a reward, and you were honestly just way toooo shy to answer. He was so amused by you. You look bold and fearless, and you had just bravely saved a man x2 your size from a fire, yet now you are too shy to even make eye contact. Very interesting indeed. Mitsunari interrupted your little conversation and took the two of you back to the castle where Nobunaga proudly proclaimed to everyone that the shy fireball that had saved him from the fire was to be an Oda princess and castle chatelaine, and the rest was history.
You were a super hard worker. And even though you were very shy, you had managed to befriend everyone in the castle. Everyone absolutely adored you!  You were basically considered the second angel of Azuchi. You didn’t care about stupid things like stations or titles, and you greeted and chatted with everyone with generosity and kindness. You always saw the best qualities in people, and for that, you were loved by all. Whenever the maids saw you they would get super excited, they loved working with you. You brought a certain calm yet enthusiastic energy to the table. You also came up with the strangest ideas when it came to improving certain procedures and things (which was nothing new to you, as that was how you were used to doing things in the future). You were a genuinely kind person without having any ulterior motives behind your actions. You would remember everyone’s names and birthdays no matter who they were and would always give them a small little gift in celebration of special days in their lives. Nobunaga, of course, loved this trait of yours. Your ideal and beliefs of not caring about status and titles seemed to align with his, and the two of you would often bond about this fact.
The first time he summoned you to his room, you were in awe at the amazing art pieces and artifacts that he had collected throughout the years. His room was like an art museum. You could spend hours and hours just looking at all the beautiful pieces. And Nobunaga was all too happy to have another common interest with you. He explained all the origins and backgrounds of each painting, matching your enthusiasm. Since then, the two of you would often go on adventures to different regions to look at and buy their art to add to Nobunaga’s collection. The two of you seemed to grow incredibly close during these little adventures, and you found yourself opening up more and more to him. The man loved that you could talk for hours on end. Usually ranging from super interesting important stuff to just utter nonsense. And boy did he love it when you would talk a bunch of nonsense. It was so freaken entertaining.
One thing you struggled to adapt to was the clothes. And the princess getup you had to wear was a particularly uncomfortable piece of clothing. The first few times it was super fun getting all dressed up and looking cute but after the 3rd time you were over it. One day while you were playing go with Nobu, you were feeling particularly uncomfortable in the traditional clothing of the past. This irritation didn’t go unnoticed by the keen eyes of the devil king, “what is it that is bothering you so much little Fireball.” You stood up and left only to return ten minutes later wearing the clothes you had worn when you arrived in the past. You explained that as much as you loved dressing up all cute at times, nothing beat your pair of jeans and a leather jacket. Your game continued while unbeknown to you Nobunaga tucked that piece of information away to use later. Later on that same week, Nobunaga invited you up to his room. As you entered, you couldn’t help but notice a big box sitting on his desk topped with a big clumsily made bow.” I have a surprise for you, fireball” he then picked up the big box and handed it to you. You sat down and opened it slowing, wondering what on earth could be inside. And then you saw it. He had gotten you a few pairs of clothes that looked very similar to your precious jeans and jacket. He explained that he had commissioned some Portuguese seamstresses to make it specially for you. You couldn’t help but bust out into tears from happiness.
The two of you also LOVED to drink together! You would sit and drink masses amount of sake together, and this is where Nobunaga discovered that his lucky charm could tell the most hilariously dirty dark jokes. At this point, he was absolutely head over heels for you. You were the most entertainingly beautiful woman he had ever met. Not just that, but the fact that you would just freely speak your mind and make these crazy funny jokes had him hooked. He was in love! When the two of you were together, it was always a good time filled with hours of chatting and laughter.
One day he had found one of your manga’s in your bag, and this boy is super intrigued. You told him you love reading mangas! After hearing that, he constructed a plan. When you turned in for the night, he started his plan. Nobunaga was a jack of all trades, and if mangas were something that interested you, he was gonna learn how to draw them. He sat for weeks perfecting his very own manga just for you, until one day he was finished. He was so proud of his creation. He presented it to you one day while you were sitting in the garden, enjoying the warm summer breeze. He handed it over with a massive smirk on his face, but even you couldn’t miss the mix of anxiety and excitement in his eyes as you started to read it. This manga was all about you and the red string of fate! And right at the very end, manga Nobunaga had confessed his undying love for manga you and asked if you would become his girlfriend. You looked up to see him look at you questioningly. You couldn’t help but give him the biggest brightest smile and kiss him all over his face in happiness.
Boy Nobunaga loved his fireball. He loved to cuddle you and spend as much time as possible with you. He loved how you could always see the good in everyone, even in him. He loved that you loved him unconditionally when he felt like he was undeserving of love. And Nobunaga definitely returned the gesture. He knew that you had been hurt in the past and worked hard every day to make sure that you knew exactly just how much he loved and adored you. Especially during times that you felt slightly jealous. Let’s be real Nobunaga is a very possessive boyfriend, and it makes him low key happy to know you are just as possessive as him. One day a daughter of one of the local daimyos attended one of the banquets. She was all over Nobunaga and had made her intentions clear about wanting to marry him. During this banquet, you were sitting and chatting with Masamune while side-eyeing the whole situation. You couldn’t hide the small frown that had formed on your face, that was until Nobunaga had called to join them. You slowly walked up to him and two important guests. That’s when Nobu grabbed your hand and pulled you into his lap, nuzzling you while you looked at him in shock. He then proceeded to very loudly announce that you were the love of his life, and no other woman would ever take your place in his heart. He also followed up that statement by saying you will be the one and only woman in his life and that he will commit his life to loving and protecting you from now to the end of time. Your jealousy melted away instantly. The two of you spent the rest of the banquet in each other’s arms, making jokes and drinking sake, low key ignoring everyone else around you.
The two of you were the cutest couple. Despite Nobunaga’s ruthless demeanor, he truly was a softi boi. He loved to cuddle and kiss you. Your all-time favorite was the little tickle fight the two of you had. It would usually start off with you playing with Nobunaga’s hair, before boldly venturing to the ticklish spot by his ears. He would look up at you with the more challenging gaze. You would just smile and start tickling him. And so, your full-blown ticking match would start.
The two of you can often be found with Nobunaga resting his head on your lap while you soothingly pull your fingers through his raven locks until he falls asleep. You would just bend down and kiss his forehead while thinking back to the first day you met this cute man now nestled in your lap, and how it truly was love at first sight!

Heart of a Lycan  Chapter 2
                                                Joyful reunion
    Lycus was pissed, in fact he was more than pissed. He was downright furious. Getting a call from Peter at the Autumn Valley’s Forest Ranger Station that someone has moved into a cabin deep in the forest and to get them checked out to see if they were a hunter or not. 
It wasn’t the issue that it was part of his job to check since he was a forest ranger and all, the real problem was that it may cause some complications for him and his family since they lived deep in the forest also.
He was already on a drive by patrol to check if there was any large roadkill that needed to be dealt with. but when he was radioed in, about someone recently moving in a cabin that sounded familiar to him Lycus stomped his foot on the gas taking very little time to get there. Driving down the stony driveway he saw the cabin was close and immediately had his hands gripped on the steering wheel tightly as his lips curled into a scowl growling lowly. 
When he remembered where the address was it only fueled his anger more, who had the nerve to even dare move into that cabin that gave him his most cherished memories, he loved that place.  It was when he would spend most of his time with...her. 
His angry demeanor softens and now frowns sadly, a sigh escapes his lips. “Olydia…” he spoke out pulling the truck over and just crossing his arms onto the steering wheel with his shoulders slumped.
 “I wish it was you that moved there.” whispering softly to himself pressing his head on his arms making his hat tip upward. It’s been six years since she moved away, six years he didn’t see her. 
Back then he only had a house phone number and not much else for communication, he did manage to buy a laptop and phone but even with that she wasn’t on any social sites that he knew of. 
But she was still on his mind, always had been and always will be. 
Olydia did more than become his friend during that rough time in his life, she taught him how to become human again. Hell, she even welcomed Lycus into her home to hang out and befriend her whole family. 
It gave him comfort trusting someone when he didn’t know how to at that time. understanding him when no one else did or even tried to. 
He cringed at how cliche that was but it was true, even the therapist he had during that time wasn’t much help since he couldn’t be fully honest about the entire time he was with the wolves at that young age.
His mind drifting to a memory of when they would sit together on the cabin porch just looking at the stars and crescent moon together, wrapped up close together in a blanket and just having her snuggle up close to him. 
Then remembering the first time he met her, offering her time to read him the stories she had written. Getting that warm welcoming hug, it was at that moment he knew deep down in his very heart and soul.
Lycus knew that Olydia was his mate.
He never told her that of course, how much he loved and wanted her to be his and only his. Lycus was too afraid that it would ruin what they had at the time and make him look creepier than he already did.
Snapping out of his blissful trip down memory lane, He takes his cap off to fix his long and wild pony tail after doing so he pulls the truck back into drive and continues his way up to the cabin. 
When he finally gets there he notices the silver car parked close by. Lycus hummed to himself this was definitely not a type of vehicle to use for hunting but he had to make sure. Stepping out of the truck he takes a view of the cabin, the smooth oak and trimmings still had it’s earthy charm even after all these years.
 His mind was almost overtaken by the memories that were flooding in. 
Shaking his head vigorously. Lycus had a job to do and walked up the spacious porches steps to the front door and gave it three firm knocks and waited patiently for this person to come at the door.
Lycus took a deep breath and sighed something caught his nose of the familiar scent of autumn scented candles, his ears catching the sound of footsteps coming to the door. At that moment he thought to himself “Please god, please let it be her that opens that door…” he prayed. Even though it was very likely it wouldn’t be her, didn’t hurt to wish for it right? 
With a swift click of the lock and a twist of the doorknob it opens, When his eyes locked onto the woman's his heart skips a beat.
It was her. The woman that made him feel happiness and joy every time they were together, The same woman that gave him love and comfort despite how he was. The coffee brown short hair and long bang that covered some of her left face, those beautiful grayish blue eyes and lovingly kind smile. 
It was Olydia, his love, his mate, his everything.
She looked at him for a long moment “Lycus?” she blurts out in disbelief, Was this really him? The once lean shy boy that was now a hulkish large man? Lycus’s breathing stifled  “Olydia.” he replies as a cooked grin forms on his lips.
In a matter of seconds Olydias eyes widen as her entire expression shifted from curiosity to pure jubilation “Lycus!” she shouts practically tackling him as her arms wrap around his torso in a tight hug that even caused him to stumble back for a second.
Lycus was in shock looking down at her, it almost felt like he was dreaming, seeing and holding her again after being apart for so long. Raising up his arms he hugs her close to his chest “I can’t believe it! You’re back, you're really back!” he spoke out cheerfully. Doing everything in his power not to become a ball of wild hyper energy to lift her up in his arms and spin around.
They stayed like that for what felt like an eternity until she slowly pulled back “This is absolutely crazy I was just thinking about you just an hour ago.” she spoke, Lycus felt his face flush clearing his throat “R-Really? Heh to be honest I was thinking about you too on the drive up here.” he replies rubbing the back of his head.
She took a moment to study the clothes he was wearing, it was a ranger's uniform “Oh my good gracious are you a forest ranger now?” she asks happily looking up at him. Lycus looks away bashfully “Yeah, The job fits me really well.” he replies shyly adjusting his cap. 
Olydia jumps up and down clapping her hands “I’m so proud of you Lycus!” giving him another quick hug. “Please come in, we have to talk now. I need you to tell me everything!” reaching out to grab Lycus hand and pull him inside the cabin, his feet aimlessly follow suite after her.
“Sorry about the boxes and stuff i’m still in the process of unpacking.” walking him over to the couch with him. “It’s alright don’t worry about it.” he replies, taking a seat. “Would you like anything to drink? I only have water and some juices since you know I don’t drink soda.” she laughs. 
“No thanks I’m good, besides I already know where the cups are anyway.” giving her a coy smirk. “Well I just wanted to make sure I was being a proper hostess.” getting a quick sip of water from a plastic cup she already had poured. Olydia rushes back to the couch and sits next to him.
“Okay, Tell me everything. I wanna know how you became a ranger and how you look so darn fantastic!” Olydia spoke trying to contain her excitement with her hands curled up to her chin.
 Lycus tries gathering his thoughts where would he even start? He pondered to himself rubbing his full but well trimmed beard “Well it happened a few months after we graduated from high school there was a job application for a forest ranger and luckily I snagged it up asap. Did a couple of training courses and bam, here I am.” he chuckles giving her the short and sweet of it.
She nods giving her his utmost attention “That’s just awesome I’m so happy for you Lycus you did good.” she spoke grinning, Lycus felt a little blush on his cheeks hearing that, it made him feel proud.
“So why’d you come here? Did you think I was someone that was gonna cause trouble?” she spoke in a cocky tone, Lycus snickers “Well to be completely honest yes, I wasn’t sure if there was some mysterious stranger staying in your cabin.” moving his fingers eerily. Olydia shook her head, chuckling as she rose her hand to her mouth.
“Alright you asked me about some of my life stories so what about you? How was college and when did you come back here? I’m still surprised to see you here in front of me.” gesturing his arms to her.
“Well I had a nice learning experience with the amazing classes I took.” She spoke leaning back on the couch “ My favorite professor was Mr. Mosire. He was a cool and creative dude and always had a good story about his life with art, one time he told us when he sketched portraits of the nurses when he was recovering at a hospital during the Vietnam war. It was so cool, I think you would have liked him” She spoke looking over at Lycus. 
“The college however couldn’t give me the right number of classes nor the promised time they say I could graduate. So I had to leave and guess what happened after that? The dang place close down.” busting out laughing “How ironic is that? But I still had an astounding time and made a few good friends in the process.” 
“Wait what? So what did you even do after that?” he asks concerned, She looks at him with an arched brow “Tried looking for a job, managed to get some of my work published and some commission work to get me enough money to get supplies for here.” 
“And to be honest, I missed this place. Just watching the leaves change so early and enjoying the gentle cool breeze. The festivals they would hold and how much fun it was when it would be October. It’s just nice coming back to see familiar faces” Olydia spoke smiling up at him. 
He nods “The town is nice like that.” turning his view to the fireplace he notices the picture frame. “Is that?” he spoke, getting up from the couch and walked over to get a better look “Oh jeez it is.” carefully grabbing the photo. “We were so young...” his expression became sour “I looked like such a emo dork.” he laughs. 
“You did not, ya big silly head.” Olydia retorts getting up also from the couch, striding over to look at the photo too. “I always had a wonderful time reading with you, it would make my day better regardless of how good or bad it was.” Lycus spoke shifting his eyes over to her. 
Olydia smirked, leaning her head onto his arm “Me too, I wouldn’t trade those times we had for the world.” Lycus felt his heart flutter hearing that, nibbling on his lip to keep himself from saying something he’ll regret. 
Taking a look out the window “It’s starting to get late now,” he spoke as it was getting dark outside “Wait are you still on the clock?” she asks worriedly. Lycus chuckles “Yes, but this was well worth the time.” he replies. “I’ll report back that there’s nothing to worry about.” giving her a light touch on her nose. 
She chortles, “Well I would certainly hope not at least.” crossing her arms. Lycus' face softens becoming serious “But really Olydia, I’m really happy to see you back.” he spoke in a caring tone. 
Olydia couldn't help beam feeling warmth in her heart when he said that, “I’m happy to be back too.”
when Lycus turns about to leave she manages to jump in front of him before getting a chance to open the door. 
“Are you busy tomorrow?” she asks him curiously. 
He places his hands on his hips “I get off at ten in the morning since I usually do night shift. Why do you ask?” he already knew the answer to that but he wanted to hear it from her. 
“Would you like to have lunch with me tomorrow and have a little walk in the town since I’ve been gone for such a long while?” She asks, giving him the puppy eyes. 
Lycus grins with a soft sigh feeling his heart melting as those beautiful eyes used his signature move that he would pull on her. “I would like that very much.” 
Olydia jumps up and down clapping her hands “Huzzah! This is going to be astonishing. It'll be just like old times.” 
When he heard that his eyes stung a little with tears slowly building, he blinked it away to keep himself from looking like he was about to cry. But it wasn’t from sadness, it was overwhelming joy. 
“I’ll see you tomorrow then at the Moonrise cafe then.” he spoke as Olydia opens the door for him “I look forward to that.” She replies as he exits the cabin.
She gives him a little wave “Drive safely, have a good night.” Olydia calls out, Lycus turns waving back “You too.” and with that she closes the door. 
Lycus walks steadily back to his truck and enters inside, in a matter of seconds he lets out a loud howl shouting happily making a fist pump that his mate had finally returned. 
Turning on the headlights he drives home at the appropriate speed limit grinning ear to ear that Olydia was back and he was going to spend the day with her tomorrow, this was something he had to tell his family when he got back home.

Haunted
Bucky Barnes x Reader
A/N: commission for @kilyra
Summary: Bucky and you are acquaintances, but it’s the first time going on a mission together. As soon as Bucky meets up with you, he realizes you might have the same reservations many have when they meet him. Can you look past the Winter Soldier’s history and see him for who he is? Or will the mission be a bust?
As always I do not own any characters. Do not repost my work!
Tumblr media
The safe house was quiet as you watched the surveillance footage, focusing on the target; it was supposed to be a simple mission, in and out, but it was proving to be more dangerous. The basics was that you were to capture a Turkish informant turned rogue; he had vital information from SHIELD that in the wrong hands, could prove deadly. Natasha had gotten word that he was heading to meet a NATO (an underground terrorist group) agent to pass on the info for a hefty price. Originally it was going to be easy but as you spent the last few days tailing him, you uncovered that he had a few baddies on his side; hence why you called Steve for back up. Except, he was busy on a recon mission and couldn’t make it out in time, but he promised to send a helping hand. He didn’t say who, but you figured Sam or Rhodey would be knocking on your door soon enough. Tired of looking over the footage that showed the informant meeting with known NATO members, you closed the laptop and picked up the cell on the desk.
It rang twice before Steve picked up, asking if anything was wrong.
“No, I’m just bored,” you whined, asking him when Sam was arriving. He said Sam wasn’t coming and you frowned. “Oh, Rhodey then? Please tell me you sent Clint out, we have so much fun together.”
Steve laughed but said no. “Bucky should be arriving tonight.”
Your heart dropped and silence filled your end of the phone; you hadn’t been around Bucky much, never talked to the man except to pass along information – to be frank, he scared you a bit. And by a bit, you meant a lot – someone with that sort of reputation, it was normal to be apprehensive about spending time alone with him. It wasn’t like it was fair to feel this way towards him, he was Captain America’s longtime friend, for fucksakes, but – and that was a big but (pun intended), he was a cold stone killer. At least, he was when he was under HYDRA control and that scared you. Sure, Shuri in Wakanda “fixed” him but how sure it be? No disrespect to the young women, you knew she was the only one with the set skills to do so, but it was unsettling being around him.
“He’s not a bad guy,” Steve sighed, and you immediately tensed up.
“Not everyone is going to love your precious Bucky,” you said defensively.
“I never said you had to like him; you just have to work with him.”
“Are these my orders,” you asked, trying to dial down the heavy tone. Steve was right, you were here to do a job and if he thought Bucky was fit to help, then who are you to say otherwise. So, when he said yes, you agreed. “Fine, it’s fine. I’m sorry, Cap.”
Steve sighed again and told you not to apologize. “It’s been years now, but I get, I’m sorry I should have thought about before sending him. Bucky knows some people will always have reservations about him, it comes with his history, just – just try not to hold it against him so much.”
“Okay. I’ll talk to you soon.”
The two of you said your goodbyes and hung up, but the anxiety had taken up it’s place in your chest; you were going to be alone with the Winter Soldier, a man who has killed more people than anyone you have ever known. You had experienced first-hand his brutality during the events of the HYDRA taken over of SHIELD, he had crossed your path and when you tried fighting back, he had you by the throat and with the other hand, pinned you down to a wall – his eyes were cold, lifeless, and you had never been scared in your life thinking those dark eyes would be the last thing you see. Natasha had come to your rescue, but the damage was done; you had a broken arm and deep bruises on your neck that took weeks to heal.
Closing the laptop, you got up and started making count of all your weapons; a few guns, two knives, and a stun gun, admiring the bunch, you took the latter and tucked it into the back of your jeans just as the front door opened. It had to be Bucky, no one except the team had the keys to the safe house and it sent a wave of fear down your spine. Putting on a brave face, you walked out of the bedroom you picked days earlier and down the hall, greeting Bucky in the foyer.
He looked relieved to see you, putting down his lone bag. “Hey.”
That’s all he said as he stood there in jeans and a dark hoodie, glove over his metal hand. You wanted to stun gun him and tie him up, do the damn mission alone, but orders were orders.
“Down the hall, the second door to the left is your room, the kitchen is stocked,” you said coldly, adding that you left a copy of the intel on the bed. “Steve told me he was sending help, so everything is ready for you to read over. We’ll be leaving tonight, be ready.”
Bucky didn’t say anything for a moment, as if he was confused by your stiffness but he finally nodded. “Sounds good, I’ll be in my room if you need me.”
Watching as he picked him his bag, you held your breath as he passed and flinched for a millisecond when he switched the bag to his other hand; you hoped he hadn’t seen. When you heard his footsteps fade and the bedroom door open and shut, you let out a breath.
….
Bucky walked into the room and told himself not to feel bad about the flinch; he knew what people thought of him and he wouldn’t hold it against them, but he had thought you were one of the people who understood his past. Feeling slightly miffed and embarrassed, he sat on the bed and picked up the phone to call Sam. He hated running to him with all his problems, but Sam understood more than anyone. The phone rang once before he picked up.
“What’s up, man?”
“I don’t think she was expecting me to show up.”
“Who? Y/N?”
Bucky said yes and described the cold welcome. Sam sighed and told him not to take it personal. “I mean you sort whooped her ass a few years ago, or don’t you remember?”
He remembered everything and everyone he had hurt, and maybe it was naïve of him to think people could forget; groaning, he felt terrible. “What am I supposed to do? We leave tonight to get the mark, how am I supposed to act? She flinched when I walked by her, Sam.”
“Just calm the hell down,” Sam advised. “Just let her take the lead, that’s all – you’ll live.”
With that, the pair said goodbye and Bucky picked up the file of information, preparing for the night’s mission.
….
Sam’s advice proved to be the key to working with you; letting you take the lead prove to be easy and it didn’t leave room for talking. Bucky followed orders and only asked questions when necessary, admitting that your leadership skills were far superior than his. You were outfitted in dress pants and a spiffy blouse, while Bucky donned slacks and a dark blue dress up shirt, a black glove covering his metal hand. The two of you sat in silence, pretending to look at the menu; the mark was two seats over, your point of view gave the perfect picture. Bucky eyed you before glancing down at the menu in his hand, he couldn’t help but noticed how nice you looked and if he was that same guy before the fall, he would have told you.  Instead he just waited for your signal and tried to push away the memory of him breaking your arm and nearly killing you.  Of course, he felt remorse and it stayed with him, in his heart, but he couldn’t change how you felt about him. But maybe he could try.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered, and you glanced over to him.
“Excuse me?” He said it again, but your eyes moved back to the mark, who was chit chatting with the NATO agent. You stared as the two men exchanged a paper and you realized time was running out. “Not now, Barnes. The mark is about to move, you’re going to get up and walk to the bar. Pretend you’re ordering a drink; I’m going to approach.”
“I’ll cover you,” he said, putting the menu down. You stared at him, really got a good look and tried to see past the man that nearly killed you; instead, you felt more fear for him than the two dangerous men at the table. It made you feel bad, because he was clearly trying but some wounds were skin deep and for now, you just wanted to get the guy and call it a day.
“Make sure your comm is on,” you snapped, feeling bad when Bucky’s face fell for a moment before he nodded as you got up.  Feeling like an ice queen, you straightened up and started toward the table with the two men, except several steps in, the Turkish informant glanced in your direction and his face turned pale. “Shit, he recognized me, Barnes.”
“I’m headed toward the back exit; the front is blocked by too many customers; he’s not going to run, but the agent is.”
He was right, the informant held up his hands in defeat while the agent ran for it; you followed him and out of the restaurant and into the cold. You thought for a moment that you had him, but in fact, he had you; surrounded by several agents that had been lurking around for security, you fought. Fought hard and had taken down all but one; he was a brute of a man and had you by the neck up against a wall.
“Fuck you,” you grunted, hating that you were in this situation again. He laughed and choked you harder until your breaths were becoming sparse. Your eyes shut and suddenly guilt riddled your body; the way you treated Bucky and how he didn’t deserve it, because this man, whose hands were around your neck; he was the evil one. He was the one that wasn’t being controlled and was doing this to you willingly, and you saw that now. You were angry now, downright pissed as you tried to hit the man in the face, fighting for your life until the choking stopped, and the man was pulled off you. Falling to the ground, you gasped to get some air and saw through blurry eyes, Bucky beating the man to the ground until he was knocked out. You cried as the man finally succumbed to the beating, eyes shutting but Bucky couldn’t stop and this time it didn’t scare you.
Getting up, you stumbled over to him and grabbed him by his metal arm, shouting his name over the sound of his fist beating into the man’s skin. “BUCKY!”
His fist stopped instantly; it had been the first time he had ever heard you say his name and it made his body still in the cold of the night. His fist was bloody but he left it fall to his side and slowly turned to you; the memory came back to him like a storm, the image of your life slowly fading in the palm of his hand and it felt like getting hit with a ton of bricks. He saw the way your eyes glossed as he tugged hard on your hand, feeling it break under his strength and he knew that image would haunt him all his life.
“Bucky,” you whispered, tears streaming down your face as you held his arm tight. “I’m okay.”
His body relaxed under your touch, his eyes shooting down to the ground in shame. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, just as he did back in the restaurant. “I wish I could take back what I did to you.”
“You can’t,” you cried, lips quivering not in fear, but in sadness. Sadness for him and for you, for everything that had happened, wishing it would all go away. You see now, that he was just a broken man trying to fit into a new world that had nothing but judgements for him and the two of you were on the same team; everyone did things they regretted, but he never was able to control any of it. For nearly half his life he was controlled by an evil force and how could you blame him for your own fears? It wasn’t fair and you knew that now, damn, you knew that now.
“But it’s okay,” you said quietly, letting your hand slide down his arm to his hand. His knuckles brushed against yours, the metal cool against your skin. “We can start all over, we can try.”
Bucky’s face softened and his eyes were grateful, his fingers twitching against yours. Taking his hand in yours, you held it tight and shrugged. “It’s going to be okay now.”
“Thank you,” he said quietly, and you smiled, a real one this time. The two of you laughed in relief, looking around the mess that was made. “The authorities were called, that’s why it took me so long to get to you. I didn’t want to leave the mark without securing his arrest.”
“I understand, it's part of the job.”
Bucky nodded and pushed away hair from his face. “I’ll go inside and let them know the rest are out here.”
“Good idea.”
You watched with a lighter heart as he walked away until he stopped and turned back; you asked if something was wrong, but he gave his head a little shake.
“No, I just wanted to say you looked nice tonight.”
And like that, something changed, and heat rose from your toes to your head, causing you to let out a soft, shy laugh. Bucky gave a boastful smile and went inside, leaving you a little warmer than you had felt in a while. It was then that your cell rang, and you saw that it was Steve.
“Hello?”
“SHIELD was contacted by the German authorities; I assume Bucky and you worked everything out?”
Unsure if he meant the mission or the issue you had with him being your partner, you sighed.  “Yeah,” you assured him as Bucky stepped back out, police in tow. His eyes meet yours with a subtle adoration and you smiled.  “Yeah, Steve, everything – everything worked out just fine.”
