Man of My Dreams
(Alfie Solomons x female reader)
Summary: Y/N is one of the newest secretaries at the Shelby Company and she's always eager to make her bosses proud. But one night, when Tommy give her the order to watch one of his business partners.... maybe she took the order "by any way you can" a bit to literally....
A/N: Hi y'all! There's nothing graphic, but this fic does contain a short mention of forced prostitution by some aweful bosses over their secretaries, but nothing happens here. And aside from usual Peaky Language and sexual innuendos I don't think there are any other TW's for this story! I was gonna post this later but I'm pretty please with how it turned out so here it is now 😂 I just wanted to write a nervous reader meeting cheeky Alfie! Enjoy!❤️

"WAIT! Don't go! You can't!"
"And why is that Treacle?"
".....because I love you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(A little while earlier)
Mr. Shelby had given you one job. Only one job left today and he said it was vey important that you complete it at all costs and by any means necessary. If you failed there maybe be a lot of trouble and not just for you. But what was that job?
Keep Alfred Solomons inside the office...
It was after closing time at the betting shop and while almost everyone else had gone home you were still working on a few papers Mr. Shelby wanted done by tomorrow. And while they wouldn't take too long, you were still a newer secretary at the company and rather eager to please your bosses. You were also one of the younger secretaries and this was one of your first jobs that consisted of more than stocking shelves or sweet talking rude customers in the bakery. And while everything had gone smoothly so far, you still found yourself accepting the extra work from time to time in order to get in your boss's good graces. He still paid for the time of course, very well actually. But as you'd learn today, late office hours often came with unexpected surprises too. 
One of these began when Mr. Shelby suddenly walked through the main floor towards his office. Only he wasn't alone. Walking a few paces behind him was another man. You'd recognized him as Alfie Solomons, an imposing man who owned the "Bakery" that Arthur Shelby was always grumbling about. You hadn't actually spoken to him or even met him yet. The most you'd gotten was rumors from the other women in the shop about all the terrible things he'd done. Even worse than some of the rumours about your boss. But tonight it appeared that would change. You didn't miss the quick glance made towards you by the Camden Town man when Mr. Shelby passed your desk with a quick acknowledgment, before heading straight to his office.
Only six minutes into the important meeting, Mr. Shelby had been called to the Garrison to deal with a fight started by his brothers. He had been annoyed to no end at having to fix yet another one of his brothers' impulsive decisions, but seeing as Polly was helping Esme with her new baby, he was the only one left to go. Well, the only one Arthur and John would listen to if they were half as drunk as Finn said. And Finn himself was also being dragged back to the bar by Tommy to help control his brothers too, so he couldn't watch the other gangster either. Even if he lacked his brother's stomachs for fighting, Finn still had almost a head over each of them and could hold them back well enough if needed. 
So Tommy brought him along too, leaving you behind with the order to keep the other gangster company until he returned. It didn't matter that Alfie had already agreed to waiting until Tommy came back. Or in his words "graciously relented more of his precious time" in the name of "proof of his good will." Tommy still didn't want him snooping around the office while he was gone. So he'd given you strict instructions to keep the gruff man in his office until he got back. You were also to make sure he didn't mess with much in there either. 
You'd never anticipate just how astray that one plan would take you...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hi. I'm Y/N, one of the secretaries. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Shelby wanted me to look at his typewriter and clean up the office a bit before I left. One of the keys has been a bit sticky lately. So don't let me both you, and if you need anything let me know and I can get it for you."
You'd figured that had been a pretty decent thing to open with. It was a good excuse for staying in the office, and Tommy had wanted you to fix the key for a while now. But you started to rethink your opener, as all you got in return was a brief nod from Mr. Solomons who continued to read over the paper in his hands. Pursing your lips in a line and feeling slightly awkward now, you just nodded to yourself moving to Mr. Shelby's typewriter. You did get a questioning stare after that when you picked up the device and moved it to the table in the middle of the room. That was the table between Mr. Solomon's desk and the door. It meant you had a better chance of stopping him should he try to bolt. Didn't mean it was a big chance though. No, you didn't doubt this man could easily pin you if he tried, and you hoped in the back of your mind that he really did plan to stay as agreed. And so, glancing at the unchanging position of your charge every few minutes, you set to work on pulling apart the typewriter...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Silence.
Pure uncomfortable silence had descended upon the small office nearly half an hour after Mr. Shelby left. Well, you found it uncomfortable, but Alfred seemed to have no issue with the quiet that settled over the room. By this point he'd moved from the chair he was originally sitting on to the one behind him, closer to the bookshelf. Which happened to be directly across from your own seat. 
He sat, unbothered, still reading the same contract he had when you came in. He must of gone through it twelve times by now. Occasionally, he'd mumble under his breath, causing your head to shoot up, waiting for something to happen with bated breath. One of these times, to slight humiliation, your head had shot up expecting to see him still looking down at the papers...only to be met with his own piercing eyes. Neither of you spoke at that moment, you just stared eyes wide with surprise while his remained unreadable. The moment was broken by the sound of a siren out of the window causing you to look over. You didn't notice the slight smile the briefly passed the man's face.
It had been fifteen minutes since that moment and you were finally starting to relax, thinking that maybe this really wouldn't be as bad as you thought. Keeping him here didn't seem too bad.
Until, without warning Alfie stood up and quickly walked towards the desk. Thinking he was trying to look at Mr. Shelby's private papers you also shot up. But when he turned back around you saw he was only grabbing a new pen, leaving you standing there... once again staring. He must really be starting to believe you're a creep of some sorts, you thought. Trying to save face you'd headed towards the desk yourself, under the guise of grabbing a piece of paper for the now fixed typewriter. You didn't expect him to, but you were glad the your company didn't point out the stack of paper sitting right next to the machine in the table. And with that, you went back to your seat, trying to calculate how many drinks you'd need after this. 
You couldn't explain it, but for some reason you felt like you were doing this wrong. There was some source of nerves buzzing in the back of your head that just wouldn't settle. You chalked it up to this being the "most important" job you'd been given yet, aside from when Polly had you watch the empty shop for an hour one night after locking up so she could chew one of her nephews out for their latest mess. You had been so nervous about someone trying to break in, you'd almost concussed poor Arthur with his own stapler when he'd come in the back door. The only thing that saved him was the fact he actually fell back on his ass, terrified, because you'd popped out so closely to him. You were also lucky he happened to be sober and registered it was you before fighting back. Neither of you mentioned that night to the others.... and neither of you ever would.
The silence continued for a few endless minutes longer before it was finally broken. Alfie groaned lightly as he got to his feet. Luckily you hadn't stood up this time and were able to slow the rise of your head, looking up at him slightly concerned. Even if you didn't know the man, you'd noticed the slight wince he'd made when he stood up, using the couch arm to stabilise his ascent as he reached for his cane by the table.
"Right. Now that's enough of that poppet. You said if I wanted anything you'd give it to me correct? And now I know what I want so you're gonna help me?"
Eyes wide in shock, both from the fact your burly companion spoke, and of what he spoke, you shot up once again in slight panic. Shit Shit Shit. Not only had his sudden actions threw you off your axis, but now he was also looking at you with a stare that reminded you of how John looked at Esme many times before they'd disappeared to the back rooms for half an hour or so. Esme usually came out looking brilliant as usual, but John wasn't one to hide his messy clothes or the marks on his neck. And now Alfred Solomons seemed to be giving you the same look as his eyes roved your body. He tilted his head and took another step forward, indicating that you still hadn't answered his question.
"I...I did say that yes. What do you need Mr. Solomons?"
"Well let's not dance around anymore. Call me Alfie or Alfred if you'd like treacle. I've seen you starting at me," Alfie moved around the table until he was only a few steps away, "I think you know exactly what I want. I think you know exactly how this is suppose to play out. Your boss leaving you here as 'company' for little ole me? You know what happens now right?"  
The last words were spoken so closely you could feel his breath against your face. Your breath hitched realising what he meant. No. It couldn't be that. You knew Mr. Shelby wanted you to keep his business partner company, but surely he didn't mean that kind of company. Your boss wouldn't do that right? You'd never even met the man before today and he wanted you to....
"Show me where the bathroom is why don't you? I've been needing a piss since the trip up."
Your entire body seemed to relax hearing those words. Yes, Alfred Solomons was a very handsome man, the kind you often fantasised with your friends about meeting one day. But that didn't mean you had any desire to sleep with the man for your boss's benefit. You'd heard about monsters who forced that from their poor secretaries. 'A sweeter part of the business deals' is what some of them wanted. Men like that disgusted you, and you were relieved your boss wasn't that way. If he was though, you believed you'd actually have shot him yourself for such a suggestion. Yes, you had a habit of being quiet and were often anxious about if you were correctly doing your job, but you'd be damned if any man thought he could treat you that way. Your father had taught you how a man should respect a woman and your mother gave you a gun if he didn't. A gun that was currently locked in your nightstand, but nonetheless you figured you'd have time to grab the stapler on Tommy's desk if you needed to. Though now that Solomons had brought it up, the idea wouldn't leave your mind. After all, it was just you and Mr. Solomons in the office. Mr. Shelby wasn't back yet and there was no telling how long he'd be. What if he got to you before you reached the stapler?
"It's alright dove, I'm not gonna hurt ya," Alfie's words broke through your thoughts once again, and you'd nodded this time hearing the truth in his words. He'd noticed you'd relaxed upon his last demand, only to tense up a bit in thought moments later. Based on your quick glance towards the stapler on Tommy's desk, he could tell you were now thinking of another request he'd might have made. One that honestly he wouldn't have minded indulging in he thought, taking another quick look at the woman before him. But he didn't because of the uncertain look in your eye and the scolding voice of his late mother telling him off for what he'd just done. 
He knew it was wrong of him to imply such a thing, especially when he'd only just met you and when you seemed nervous as it was. And for a man who rarely regrets his actions, he did feel a slight hint of guilt for scaring you. His mother would have tore him a whole new asshole if she'd heard him make such a comment, implying what the young woman practically had no choice to do. Given, he certainly had made many comments like those before and they were often eagerly accepted and lead to quite a few passionate nights while Cyril was sent home with Ollie... But that didn't mean now was the time for them. Not when it was late at night alone in Tommy Shelby's office the his secretary he'd met forty five minutes ago. Wouldn't that be a story to hold over the shorter gangster though? The time he bent Tommy's new secretary over the man's own desk in under an hour. Alfie felt the seat of his pants tighten slightly at that idea, but tried to push it off because it still wasn't the time for that. 
"The bathroom is this way."
Your words broke him out of his thoughts and Alfie looked over to see you standing by the office door you'd been guarding so "intensely" the whole time. Like your time in the office, the way to the bathroom was also silent. You walked Alfie all the way up to the door, and he was half surprised you didn't accompany him to actual toilet seat. 
After a few moments standing awkwardly outside the door, feeling like you sister waiting for her five year old son, Alfie finally came out again. He didn't even wait for you as he made his way back through the main floor. But instead of cutting a straight path through the other desks like before, he was weaving his way around and between the tables. Sometimes he'd pause and look at the papers on a seat even though they were likely just blank log pages, everything else having been put away for the night. Then he'd straighten up again and travel a completely different direction than before. And because you wanted to make sure he wouldn't take anything off the other desks, you followed him. 
Up and down and around. If someone were to walk into the company just now, they'd have seen what looked like a two person game of tag....One you seemed to be loosing. Finally he reached the door of Tommy's office again, stopping so suddenly, you almost ran into him. 
"Well that was a rush wasn't it poppet? Had to get me daily exercise in didn't I?"
The intimidation you felt from this man was finally starting to wear off. All of the sudden the mood of environment changed again. Alfie sighed and shrugged his shoulders like he'd made a final decision. 
"Right. That's really enough of that poppet. Seems your Boss is a no show and I'm a busy man," Alfie stated as he gathered up the papers he's been looking at. You froze, watching him stand up and make his way to the door. Shit shit shit. He was joking again right? He was suppose to stay put. But now he's moving towards the door and doing the very thing he wasn't suppose to do. Why was he leaving now? He said he'd stay. Shoot. You wanted to go back to the uncomfortable silence from before.
You looked around the room for a reason to keep him there. But aside from Tommy's stapler, you didn't see any means of holding him back. Besides it wasn't like the stapler would be of much use. Tommy always forgot to refill it when the staples were gone and had a bad habit of stealing yours and never giving it back. Sure, he technically owned every stapler in the building, but you were still very proud of your own little tool. It hardly ever got jammed. But now it was no where in sight and Tommy's stapler was as usual, empty, meaning unless you wanted to beat Alfie over the head with it, you were out of luck. Sure, you could probably toss it at him as a distraction and then roll the desk chair into his bad hip, but that just felt mean. Arthur would absolutely love it and might have given you a raise for doing it even, but there was a larger part of you that spoke against hitting a man in his war wound. That just felt like a special type of cruel. But it meant you were left with no other option but to witness Alfie walk out the door. As you watched, Mr. Shelby's words flew through your head, talking about how important it was for Alfie to stay until he returned and how you need to keep Alfie there at all costs. Suddenly, an idea hit you.
"WAIT! Don't go! You can't!"
"And why is that Treacle?" The words came out absentmindedly, Alfie already focused on what he'd do when he got home.
".....because I love you?"
Alfie's hand was on the door when he froze, hearing your almost desperate plea. Spinning around as much as he could with his hip, he faced you again. Confusion covered his face, quickly replaced by an almost cocky amusement.
"You love me?"
"Yes," you nodded somewhat confidently," I've loved you since the moment I first met you."
Alfie, tilted his head and took a step closer, raising and eyebrow.
"Well poppet, considering moment I met ya was an hour ago, I'd say it's a love that won't take long to get over."
He turned again but this time you shoved yourself infront of the door before he could grab it.
"No it's not!"
"It's not?"
Now Alfie was confused. He'd have remembered meeting a pretty face like yours before, especially it it accompanied your rather memorable personality, you'd shown today. On the other hand, you were cursing yourself out internally, berating yourself for the impulsive lie. Why didn't you just grab the stapler? Scrambling to cover yourself now, you delved deeper into your story.
"It's not. The first time we met was... it was... at.... no by.... It was by..... in .in in.... IN MY DREAMS!! The first time we met was in my dreams and I've been in love with you since then!! Yes that's it!"
You nodded vigorously, smiling, hoping he'd believe you. He didn't obviously, he knew you were still trying to follow your boss's orders.... but damn was this fun to watch. Alfie raised an eyebrow moving a step closer again.
"Are you saying I'm the man of your dreams poppet?"
"Yes! Absolutely. I think about you every night."
"You do?" Alfie was only a step away now. "What exactly about me do you think dove?"
You thought for a moment, scanning his body for things to talk about, not that it would be hard, but you felt a little pressured here. If Alfie moved any closer his beard would brush you chin.
"Beard.... Your beard is fluffy, and looks soft," you started," and your stance is...like a sturdy man's stance..you have pretty eyes too...and you have arms... I like arms. You look like you'd give good hugs... or could like make my bed," Alfie bit his lip, trying not to laugh. "Also legs, you have legs, and a cane for your hip. You could like do stuff with the cane ... maybe I don't know. Some people may like that. I know people into that." You had no clue what your were saying at this point, just rambling and Alfie didn't know if it was embarrassing or enduring. But before you could delve deeper into your hole, he stopped you.
"Alright poppet. I get it don't I? You're madly in love with me and the idea of me leaving just breaks your heart, don't it?"
"Yes?...." You nodded, not believing that he was believing it. Maybe?... "It breaks my heart and that's why you can't leave. You have to stay with me. In here. In this office....So you can't leave. Because I absolutely love you with all my heart and if you were to go I wouldn't know what to do. I'm just lost without you Alfred Solomons. You are the man of my dreams an..."
"Y/N, What the fuck?"
Startled by Finn's voice you cursed, turning around to see not only the youngest Shelby, but Tommy, Arthur, John, and Michael staring at the scene before them. Evidently during your "heartfelt" speech you hadn't noticed them arrive back to the office. Nor had you seen them opening Tommy's door, only to hear the last bit of you professing your "love" for the man who'd screwed them over more times than John had kids....which was to say a lot. Tommy's eyes met yours in confusion and slight concern as your mouth opened and closed like a fish, unable to provide an explanation. When he said keep Alfie under control he meant, just make sure the man didn't piss in the whiskey decanters or draw horns on Arthur's picture. He wasn't sure why that involved professing your love. In the back of his mind, it passed that you could be a spy, and Tommy honestly hoped that wasn't the case. He liked you, Lizzie never let him take her stapler. A drunken John just smiled in amusement, pleased with the free entertainment. Meanwhile, Finn and Michael were silently making faces at each other, arguing over who'd grab Arthur's legs, and who'd get arms if he decided to act on the dangerous glare he was giving Alfie. He wasn't actually drunk, but Arthur saw you like another Ada, and he didn't like the idea of Alfie romancing you. Arthur also had a deep seated despise for Alfie in general, but everyone knew that. Now they were all looking at your for an explanation.
Looking over your shoulder, the stapler was still empty.
Perfect....

More jamie x reader x joseph content please. I'm literally drooling and growling at your fic about them. God even these stupid fucking emojis can't describe what I'm going through rn >:|
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jamie Campbell bower x Joseph Quinn x Fem!Reader
Summary: This is a sequel to stressed but you can read this without having read that. basically, you are at the fan expo Canada instead of Grace Van Dien, and Jamie and joe want to replicate what happened last time.
Warnings: unprotected sex, oral sex( female receiving), bit of fingering, and...anal
A/n: This is loooong but trust me it's worth it. Also disclaimer, I wrote the first part half-drunk(dignitosamente brilla) so beware. Yes, this is a 3 months old request and no, I do not care God, I wanna go to sleep.
Having fun
"Hi" you whispered awkwardly as you arrived backstage. You'd had a problem with the car and now you were late. Everyone was waiting for you, ready to announce the beginning of the panel. You were mortified and angry at yourself as you stood there in front of Joe, Jamie, and Finn, expecting them to be mad or at least annoyed for making them wait, but to your surprise, you were met with the complete opposite reaction. "Hi y/n" Finn greeted you with a smile, immediately going in for a hug. You felt relieved, suddenly feeling able to breathe normally again. "Hi darling" Jaime said, placing a hand on your back, taking you by surprise. "Hi sweetheart" Joe's low voice made you turn your attention to him as you were politely smiling at Jamie. Joe was leaning back on the wall, looking at you with a slight smirk. All this worrying about being late and you had forgotten about what you really needed to be stressed about. You could feel the ability to breathe normally disappear again. "We were worried" Jamie said in a low voice. "Yeah y/n, we were really missing you"Joe added We. You knew what the sentence meant grammatically, but you couldn't help but see another sense to it. You knew what we, really meant. It had been a while since you had seen Jamie and Joseph, and well... your last encounter hadn't been exactly the most usual. It wasn't every day you got fucked by both your cast mates. You had no idea how they were gonna handle the situation. Maybe they wanted to pretend that nothing happened, maybe they had forgotten about it, or maybe they didn't even think of it as much. You had no clue, and so you decided to just follow the direction they were going in. "I-I'm sorry I'm late" you cleared your throat" I had a problem with the car" you explained shyly. "Oh it's fine" Finn said reassuringly. "all that matters is that you're here now" Joe said, stepping closer to you. "Yes, that's right" Jaime agreed, stroking your back with his thumb. "Mh-mh" Joe smiled as he brought his hand up to caress your cheek. Oh fuck, you thought just as you heard your names getting called on stage.
For the first time in your life, you were relieved to be interviewed. As much as you hated being the center of attention and having people looking at you expectedly every single time they asked a question, and as much as you hated the weight on your chest when you looked at the audience, as they waited for you to say the most extraordinary thing they ever heard in their life. It was all much better than the alternative. All it took was one second of being in the same room with  Jamie and Joe, and you had already forgotten how a normal human being acts.  And as if that wasn't enough, your original plan had failed miserably. You wanted to see how they were gonna act so you could have just followed their lead. But, since that stupid car decided to arrive late, you now had no idea how they wanted to handle the situation. The greeting had been very weird, to say the least. But the problem was that you didn't know if they were flirting with you, making fun of you, or if that was just the way they had always acted, and you were just now noticing it.  You were feeling nauseous and at the same time, you wanted to cry. You had spent the past week angry at yourself for having made such a stupid decision. At the moment it felt like a good thing they were both so hot and you hadn't really thought about the consequences. For all you knew, that was the last time you were gonna see each other. But as it turns out, your plan wasn't so foolproof since you were part of the same TV show,  that was still on air. You wished you could be chill about this, and not be bothered by it, you really really wished you could just chuckle thinking about what had happened, but that wasn't you. What was you, was panicking just at the thought of having both of them sitting beside you, one on each side. God, it was like they were doing it on purpose. "princess" a faint whisper startled you. You widened your eyes and turned your head to the right, finding in front of you Joe with an amused look on his face, his lips twisted up in a thin grin. "She asked you a question" he whispered, holding the mic far from him. "oh" you said mortified "I-I'm sorry" you smiled, trying to salvage the situation "W-what was the question?" you turned towards the interviewer. "oh don't worry" she waved her hand to emphasize her words, "I asked you about the recent press tour you went on in Brazil. How was the country and how was it being left alone with these two?" she asked, nodding towards Jamie and Joe. You have got to be fucking kidding me. You were certain your cheeks were the same color as what the flames of hell probably look like. You swallowed nervously as you kept your eyes on her, desperately trying not to make eye contact with the men beside you. It was like you could feel the smirks on their faces. "I-I" you cleared your throat. just be professional y/n, and pretend for a second that nothing happened. It really isn't that hard. you smiled nervously"Well, Brazil was amazing, really, and so were the people there. And you know, Jamie and Joseph are-are great, so... yeah, everything was good" you finally did it. "Just good?" Joe asked, a wide grin on his face. You were gonna kill him. "Yeah, from what I remember, you seemed to think it was more than just good" Jamie added, with the same expression as the other fucker. Oh please, not him too. You gulped, trying to at least look like you were breathing normally. "I-I, N-no you are right." you gave in, trying to make them stop. "It was actually really good" you said, staring at your shoes. "That's better" Joe whispered to you. Making an involuntary familiar feeling pool in your lower belly. Oh, you were so fucked.
"Guys, I gotta go, it was really fun though. We should hang out more often." Finn said, standing up. Oh no, your life jacket was escaping. You were sat on some couches in a room backstage. After the panel had finished you had decided to stay together a bit more and obviously you had found yourself sandwiched between guess who? You guessed. them. And that hadn't been that much of a problem because Finn was there, but it wasn't looking so good now. "Already? We see each other so little" you asked Finn, trying to persuade him to stay "I know, I'm sorry, but I really gotta go" he said with a sad smile. You smiled anyway, you didn't want to push it and make him feel guilty or anything. "It's nothing Finn, it was really nice seeing you"  "You too" he hugged you before leaving. Now the fun started, and by fun, I mean absolute panic. The room fell silent the moment the door closed. "I-I should probably go" you said. "But sweetheart" Joe placed a hand on your back "we just got here" You swallowed thickly. "I know,b-but I'm tired" "you are not avoiding us, are you y/n?" Jamie asked, amusement clear in his voice. "N-no, I just didn't sleep a lot last night" "Darling" Jamie put a hand on your thigh "You seem tense" "I-I" you stuttered "Just like last time" Joe murmured, making you shiver. "You know... We'd be happy to help you again" Jamie continued. "More than happy"  Joe said leaning closer to you, so close you could feel his hot breath on your cheek. Your brain had melted, just like the rest of your body. You were hearing a distinct buzzing in your brain, and suspected that was all that remained in your cranium. It was all so confusing and strange at the same time. You needed air. "Guys," you said faintly "y/n" answered joe "I need to go" You said decisively, looking at them. They were both still grinning, which made you mad, hadn't they heard you? It wasn't gonna work this time. It was just too much. "y/n" said Jamie, caressing your thigh. "No" you stated "I'm sorry but this is wrong ok? I'm not saying that I didn't like it last time, because I really did, but I just can't do it. I'm not cool or calm or any of that shit. I've been panicking all day because I had no idea how to act, and it was so tiring and I don't wanna do it again. I'm sorry but I can't do it. I can't have casual sex with people I know I'm gonna see every day for 6 months starting in 2 weeks. I'm simply not made for it."You caught your breath"So no, I'm sorry but no. I'm going." You stood up and walked away, proud of yourself for having finally gotten it all out. You didn't know what this meant but you were just happy to have done what you knew was the right thing.
You were laying on your bed in your pajamas, watching Gilmore girls on the computer, when you heard a knock at the hotel room door. You were expecting this, it wasn't a surprise. What actually was surprising was that on the other side of the door was only one of the people you expected to see. "Hi" said Joe with a genuine smile. "Hi" you answered There was an awkward silence as you tried to understand what to do. "can I come in?" he asked, making you raise an eyebrow in suspicion. "I'll behave, I promise" he raised his hands in defense. "All right" you said, opening the door for him. You pretended not to notice how he checked you out as you sat down. His eyes traveling slowly from your bare legs, covered only by some very short shorts up to your bra-free tits, hidden only by a little pink tank top he very much wanted to rip off of you. "So" you sat on the bed"Why are you here?" He set beside you, making the bed squeak "I wanted to talk to you" You smiled "please do, then" He reciprocated your smile as he started "Ok. I'm really sorry we made you feel uncomfortable y/n. And I hope you know that it was not our intention at all. Really. And if we knew that it would have made you feel this way we would have never proposed it in the first place. So I just wanted to apologize, that's all" You hummed, taking it all in "Why isn't Jamie here?" you asked, genuinely curious. He smiled "We didn't want to put too much pressure on you. So we thought that only one of us should have come here first, and the second would join in later." he explained "that's smart" "The other thing that we wanted to say is that" he cleared his throat "It doesn't have to be weird. we could keep doing what we did last time without making it a big deal. Just see it as occasionally having fun, in an adult way, and outside of that, we can just act as we have always done around each other. It would be easy don't you think?" he asked. You frowned "I-I don't know Joe, I mean it's not as easy for you as it is for me. You saw me today during the interview, I looked crazy" "you did not. and" he shrugged "that was partially our fault, we were taunting you " "But it's not just that,y-you have this effect on me. It's weird" He chuckled "And what exactly do you think you do to us?" he licked his lips "You know, it's very hard to concentrate on an interview when you look at me with those eyes and bounce those pretty legs or smile so innocently" he confessed, making your heart flutter. "Ok" you said "So if I wanted to do this, we could just be normal around each other in everyday situations and you guys will stop taunting me, right?" you waited for him to confirm "Absolutely" "And it would just be us having fun?" "Yes, sweetheart" he grinned, putting a hand on your bare thigh. "And could we have fun now?" you whispered "It's solely up to you princess" he said, leaning closer. There wasn't much thinking to do having his face a few centimeters far from your face. After all, It was a good plan and you really, really wanted to kiss him. So you did. You gently placed your lips on his, closing your eyes and starting to slowly melt into the kiss. You put one of your hands on his strong chest and the other one at the base of his neck, toying with his hair. You smiled, breaking the kiss. "You liked that?" he asked, gently moving some of your hair behind your ear. "Mh. Mh" you hummed, making him smile. "Good" he said, leaning in to kiss you again, this time his tongue slipping through your lips, and exploring your mouth. "And you liked this?" he asked "Yes Joe, I really liked that" "good" he said again, leaving a quick kiss on your lips again. "Tell me what you like"  You swallowed nervously "I-I don't know" he kissed your neck, making you whimper "Tell me what you liked last time then" "I-I liked everything Joe,it was amazing"  He smiled as he was sucking your neck "I know it was amazing princess, I just want to know what you liked" You bit your lip nervously and he came back up to look at you. "C'mon y/n, I know you can do it" he said, before kissing you briefly and returning back to work on your neck. "O-Ok," you said, your breathing ragged "I-I liked when you-" you didn't know how to say it. "Well, you know" "No, I don't. I wanna hear you say it baby" "I liked when you-When you licked me there" you explained "I'm gonna need you to be more specific sweetheart" "Joe, please" "y/n please" "When you licked my pussy" you whispered, making him groan. "Good girl" he said, his hand traveling down to your panties, only to toy with the hem of them. "Please Joe" you pleaded "Please what baby?" "please touch me" "I can't" he said, retrieving his hand and making you frown "not until Jamie gets here" "That's mean" "it's only right" he kissed you "but that doesn't mean we can't do other things in the meantime" he stroked your cheek with his thumb. you smile curiously "like what?" he kissed you again "well" he looked at you "you could let me undress you" the idea intrigued you "Would you like that?" "hm-hm" you nodded "I need you to use your words baby" "Yes, Joe, I would really like that" you said, earning a proud smile from him. "very good" he said, kissing you one last time before kneeling in front of you and putting his hand on the hem of your shorts. "raise your hips princess" he ordered, and you eagerly obeyed, finding yourself completely naked from the waist down in a matter of seconds. He hissed at the view, his eyes fixated on your pussy. He couldn't control himself as he bent down and left three spread kisses on it, making you moan faintly. "I thought you weren't supposed to touch me"  "Well, Jamie doesn't need to know about everything, does he?" he looked at you as he came back up to sit on the bed. "No, he doesn't" you agreed, making him bite his lower lip "God, you are perfect sweetheart" he said, before kissing you again, this time his tongue exploring your whole mouth. he leaned away eyeing your shirt. "You don't wanna take that off?" you asked, making him chuckle "Oh trust me, there's nothing I want more on this planet than to do that, sweetheart" he said, placing his hand on each side of your torso, making you shiver, and bringing his hands up to meet the shirt. He gripped it and agonizingly slowly took it off, leaving you completely vulnerable. You had never seen him smile so widely in your entire life. "You are a masterpiece y/n y/l/n" he said, gently touching your boobs "I hope you know that" You smiled giddily at the compliment as you heard a knock at the door. You gasped softly, but before you could say anything Joe spoke "I think you should get that". you smiled shyly as you stood up, feeling Joe's eyes glued to your ass. You took a deep breath and very slowly, opened the door. The look on Jamie's face was the perfect mixture of shocked, pleased, and horny. "Now, This, is the way I like to be greeted" he joked, making you smile, before coming into the room and closing the door behind him. You walked towards the bed as he followed you. "So I understand you like our plan?" he said, placing his hands on your waist. "I do," you said gently "Very good," Jamie stated, looking for one second at Joe before crushing his lips with yours. His hands explored your whole back as he walked you toward the bed. He pushed you on it, making you notice how Joe had gotten up. "What were you watching?" You turned to see Joe with your computer in his hands, looking curiously at you. "Gilmore girls" "Figures" he smiled to himself. You would have gotten mad at him at another moment but you were feeling particularly frustrated right now. "C-can you touch me now, please?" you begged to no one in particular. Jamie raised an eyebrow at Joe "You were really able to stop yourself?" he asked incredulously. "I know" he eyed your body "Trust me, it wasn't easy," he said, winking furtively at you. You whined, trying to make them bring back their attention to you, and like clockwork, both of the men turned towards you. "Of course darling, today is only about you" he said, spreading open your legs. You bit your lip as he bent down and kissed your clit. "So pretty" he murmured, kissing it again "such a pretty pussy for such a pretty girl" he whispered again, before licking a stripe between your folds. You whimpered as you shut your eyes closed. "And soo desperate" he smirked before attacking your clit with his mouth, sucking and liking like it was his life long-duty. "oh god" you moaned, as he continued undaunted. "tastes good doesn't it?" Joe asked, his eyes never leaving yours. "better than anything I ever tasted"Jamie responded, looking straight at you. A wave of pleasure cursed through you at the scene. You moaned loudly as you started grinding on Jamie's face. "And sound soo good too" Joe said, as he took off his clothes. You turned your head towards him as he got out of his shirt and as he slowly unbuckled his belt, clearly wanting to put on a show for you. You moaned again as he slipped his pants off, remaining only in his boxers. A very visible tent, prominent under them. He smirked as he stepped closer to you, kneeling down on the side of the bed. "Such pretty sounds" he whispered against your cheek. "From such a pretty mouth" he continued before meeting his lips with yours. His tongue immediately made its way into your mouth as his right hand found your cheek and his other one your boobs, starting to gently grope them. You moaned into his mouth as he pinched your nipple, making him chuckle. "So sensitive" he whispered against your mouth before starting to work on your neck, leaving hot opened-mouth kisses all over it, just to finally start focusing on a spot under your ear, sucking and kissing it desperately. You were a moaning mess, between his hands on your tits, his mouth on your neck, and Jamie's work of art you were surprised you had not already lost your voice from how hard you were moaning. And just when you thought it couldn't have gotten any better you felt Jamie's fingers at the entrance of your hole. "Jamie" you whispered "Yes, darling?"  "please" "Please what?" he kissed your clit, making you cry out "Please use your fingers" He smiled against your pussy "At your orders" he purred before sloooowly pushing his digits in. "Oh god" you screamed "God has nothing to do with this" Joe murmured to your ear, before going down and taking your nipple into his mouth. You were either gonna die or ascend to another dimension. You felt a bubble form in your lower belly as Jamie started to work his fingers in and out of you, while his mouth resumed its impeccable work. "I-I'm coming" you stuttered, expecting Joe to object like last time, but were surprised when you actually heard him say "Please do princess, let us see you come undone baby", and who were you to deny him of his wish? You let go as the bubble burst in your belly, making you shout incoherently as thousands of little fireworks went off inside of you. "Oh shit" you smiled blissfully, as you caught your breath, making them both grin widely. "so it was good huh?" Jamie asked, making you roll your eyes. "it was amazing" you sighed "That's better" Joe smiled before kissing you passionately. "So" Jamie stated, as Joe leaned away and you propped yourself up on your hands. "Who do you want inside you, sweetheart?" Joe continued for him. You blushed, which was stupid considering the situation, but you couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed being asked it so bluntly. "I-I" you stuttered "It's just a question baby" Jamie said, sweetly. "I-I don't know" you said  "There are no wrong answers princess" Joe murmured, stroking your cheek. "I-I know it's just-" you bit your lip "Just what darling?" "I-I want both of you. I can't decide" You said shily. A thin grin appeared on their lips. "well..." Jamie started, sitting on the bed with a hand on your thigh "You know, there is a way we could do that" "You mean like last time?" you asked innocently. "not exactly" said Joe, looking at Jamie for a brief moment before turning back to you. "Oh" you frowned "then how?" Joe looked at you hungrily, biting his lip. "Well, we could use both of your pretty holes" he murmured sultrily. You gulped. This was new. You had never done that before and definitely not like this. "We'll be gentle" Jamie interrupted your train of thought. "really really gentle y/n" Joe followed. "you wouldn't have to worry about a thing" Jamie added. "We'll take care of you princess" said Joe. You bit your inner cheek as you pondered the proposal. You would be lying if you said it didn't attract you, imagining both of them in you at the same time... heaven. You looked between them, both staring at you hopefully before speaking up "you'll go slow?" "of course" Jamie reassured you. you took a deep breath "ok" you exhaled "I wanna do it" They looked at each other with the same faces children have when they enter a candy shop, it was almost cute. "You won't regret it sweetheart" Joe said, grinning widely, making you smile shily. Jamie took all his clothes on in a matter of seconds as Joe took off his boxers. His cock springing out of them. making you instantly rethink your decision. how was all that gonna fit? "I'll go slow princess, I promise" he said, noticing the shift in your expression. You nodded, as Jamie laid down on the bed beside you. You turned towards him and were met with an adoring look. "Come here" he said sweetly before kissing you hungrily, his hands immediately finding your hips and guiding you on top of him, without ever breaking the kiss. You moaned into his mouth as you felt him positioning his length at your entrance. "you ready darling?" he made sure. You nodded eagerly, and he didn't waste any time, pushing his tip in and slowly raising his hips until he had bottomed out completely. "Feels good?" he asked "Amazing" you sighed, as you bent down to kiss him. Your hips involuntarily starting to move on their own accord. It felt soooo good already, and you wondered how it was gonna feel with Joe too. Just as you did, you felt him getting beside you. You swallowed nervously as his tip touched your other entrance. You heard him spit on what was probably his hand and then another time directly between your cheeks, making you gasp. "Relax princess" he purred as he used his fingers to spread his spit all over your hole. "O-ok" you stuttered, as you stopped moving on Jamie's cock. "It's gonna feel good baby" Jamie assured you. "mh-mh" you nodded, as joe positioned himself. "It's gonna hurt a bit now, but it'll be worth it" Joe said, taking a moment before veeery slowly starting to tear you apart. You hissed at the feeling. he wasn't kidding about the pain, you thought as he continued to push himself into you. "Good" he murmured "You are doing so good princess" he said as he kept going. You felt a single tear stream down your face, and Jamie immediately went to wipe it off "You're doing great darling" he said sweetly. "J-joe" You cried out "I know baby" he cooed, using one of his hands to stroke your back reassuringly "You almost did it" "and..." he finally pushed himself fully into you, making you gasp as his balls hit your ass "there" he said proudly "You did it sweetheart" You bit your lip, as you took in the feeling of having both of them so deep inside of you at the same time. "Can I move?" he asked gently. you turned to look at him, a smile appeared on your face, as you nodded at him, making him groan with enthusiasm. You chuckled at his reaction, but were soon interrupted by an animalistic moan you let out as he thrusted into you. It was like nothing you ever felt before. it still hurted a bit, but the pain was nothing compared to the pleasure you were feeling.  "oh f-fuck" you cried out as he did it again. and just as you were starting to get used to it, without any warning, Jamie started moving too. Your eyes rolled to the back of your head as they both pounded into you more and more fast. You were completely filled, and unable to say or do anything. it was like you had fallen into some kind of ecstasy-provoked trance. "Shit, you feel so fucking good y/n" Joe groaned  "You really do" Jamie agreed as he gripped your hips to thrust into you even harder. You cried out his name as he smirked smugly. "It's so tight" Joe whispered, putting a hand on your back to gain more traction, making you literally scream. You were completely useless, a doll at their mercy, unable to even move. If heaven was a real thing, this was probably what it felt like. "You're perfect y/n" Jamie purred, as you kept bouncing up and down or left and right. You had no idea at this point, you just knew it felt absolutely incredible. "So fucking beautiful" Joe groaned "taking us so well" Jamie complimented you "So.fucking.hot" Joe continued, as he kept his pace. Their words together with this feeling were really pushing you over the edge. "I-I" you wined, not able to form a coherent sentence "You're coming?" Jamie asked gently, his breath ragged. "Mh-mh" you hummed weakly "fuck" Joe swallowed "fucking cum princess" he painted "cum all over us" "Yes darling,please do" Jamie continued. "I.I" you failed again, as a familiar pressure formed itself in your belly. "cum y/n" Joe commanded "do it baby" Jamie whispered, sending you over the edge. You screamed their names as your orgasm hit you so strongly that everything went black for a moment. "F-fuck" you heard Joe stutter "Imma fill you up sweetheart" he breathed out, as you were still riding out your orgasm. "me too darling" Jamie said, "gonna fill this pretty pussy with my cum" he said, just seconds before, with a loud grunt they both came, one just a few seconds after the other, making you moan loudly at the undescribable feeling. Everybody remained still as you all tried to calm your breathing. Joe chuckled lightly as he pulled out of you, making you involuntarily laugh a bit too, as you pulled yourself off of Jamie, who was also smiling widely. "Well" said joe "Well" Jamie continued, as you all looked at each other amused. "I'm glad we made this work" you finally spoke. "So are we"  "Definitely"

Here is my bullet point list about all the reasons byler is endgame from what I can think of off the top of my head.
The whole garage scene in the first ever episode. Need I say more about that example??
The way Mike looks at Will. I can't say this enough, but the way he looks at him literally melts me. He has such a soft look in his eyes that he doesn't use on anyone else but Will.
The way Mike talks to Will. Again, you can tell the difference in his tone when talking to Will versus talking to the others. It makes me fold into fucking origami. He cares about him so deeply he has his own tone of voice for Will. (The Will voice)
The scene Finn said was his favorite, but the Duffers didn't end up adding it. This scene was Mike riding away from the quarry on his bike crying. They didn't even consider a scene like that for the others. Only for Mike, they thought about having a moment like that.
THE. FUCKING. VAN. SCENE. I cried on that one. People way argue that was Will, 'ripping off the band-aid', but that wasn't it at all. Will was trying to rip the band-aid, but it's not going to stay that way. There's so much more to that scene but I'm going to break it down ⬇️
The painting. Will put a whole ass heart on Mike's shield. Wills' whole speech thing had me with tears in my eyes. He was pouring his whole heart into that, and I was eating it up. The heart light reflecting in Mike's eye was enough for me. When Mike talks to El about the painting, I'm going to be inches away from the screen. I have been waiting for that scene ever since Will said El commissioned the painting. 'I think Wills is making it for someone he likes.' (Idk if that's actually how it goes, but whatever you get the idea) Yes, in fact, he was El. Your boyfriend.
Season 2 is honestly all the evidence I need for byler endgame. Mike staying by Wills side and sleeping next to him. When Will woke up suddenly and Mike instantly woke up as well to comfort him. Trick or treating and Mike yelling at Dustin that's he's got Will and can take him home. 'Home' being Mike's house. The whole putting his (Mikes) hand on Wills when Will was starting to freak out. I'm in pain.
I could go on, but my fingers are starting to hurt and I said I would make this like five days ago and still haven't don't it.
Here it is @merth-or-nothin I hope you like it!

betty's story was really so incredibly tragic.
she was visited by her fiancé from the future after she just ran away from a present him that was just chasing her around yelling her name. she must have already been so terrified and confused, and now she's seeing a time portal open up in front of her with the same guy inside to apologize for stuff she doesn't even know he did or what he became.
so suddenly she's confronted with the option of going into the future to see him as he appears to have no damage. he looks fine, so he must be fine, right?
no. she goes inside and he tells her that he's DYING!!!!! so now betty is stuck in an unknown world and she has to try and get her fiancé to not fucking die what the hell.
she ignores his pleads to die because she is convinced that she can save him and that it will all be okay. thus, at the end of that episode, her arc is started and her free will is basically sacrificed to try and find a cure for simon's curse.
she does so many terrible things to try and get him back!! she tricks finn and keeps ignoring ice king when he's basically telling her that he just wants to do his own thing, and on top of that, he's still confused about who tf this lady is!! and in the end, her efforts are fruitless anyway. and before patience st. pim froze her, we saw that she was at least trying to appreciate simon for who he became, with the bird illusions and all. but that just wasn't enough for her after that, clearly bc she decides to just hop right back onto the train that'll make her do all those bad things in the first place.
when she's on mars, she's literally a wreck from trying so so hard to free simon of a curse she doesn't even fully understand. THE WOMAN IS COUNTING GRAINS OF SAND FOR GLOB'S SAKE!!!!
the worst part of THAT is, and one of the saddest parts for me, is her inability to give up even AFTER changing the past in the temple. she gets told that she "has learned a very pressing lesson", but she takes it the wrong way. she thinks now that she has to strain herself even HARDER to get her fiancé back. she's fallen right back into the unhealthy pattern so easily after trying to get better about it. it's like a relapse in some ways.
and then the finale comes. she's on her last nerve, she is SICK of ice king trying to get in her way, and it results in both of them, by some fucked up chance, getting reverted back to their non-crazy selves. so now simon is fixed and she didn't even know that being eaten by golb was the way to do it, so it's just by convenience! what a slap in the face
now that simon's back, she's glad to see him again, but she's aware of all the shit that she's caused in ooo and how golb is quite possibly gonna destroy everyone if she doesn't do something. so, to fix all of her mistakes, she does a selfless act (although to be honest ALL of her acts up to this point have been selfless because it was for simon) and sacrifices herself for the good of the world.
so now she has simon back but she's not even around to be with him in a human form. she's in golb. SHE DESTROYED HERSELF FOR HIM. and now all she can do is watch over him, and feel so glad that he became him again, but she's stuck being golbetty for eternity.
all because simon made a portal into the past to apologize to her. and to be fair, he never intended this at all. he was trying to say goodbye to her, apologize to her about what he became and how he failed her. he didn't know that betty was gonna jump right into the future and become hellbent on saving him. he tried to tell the others to stop her. finn and jake didn't do anything because they thought it was a good idea too. they didn't envision this whole, depressing path laid out in front of betty either. and simon my bro just wanted to die. he didn't want to live as ice king again.
it was a lose lose situation!!!!!! and the way it ended was just so bittersweet.

It's so funny when some fans can literally point out how Will loves and appreciates Mike for who he is unconditionally as a form of byler endgame proof (and anti mlvn proof). Yet when it comes to their own fanon interpretations of his character, suddenly Will is perpetually annoyed with Mike for no reason.
Fanon Mike is chacterized as an annoying loser who, by the grace of god, was allowed to have friends who tolerate him, but not without letting him know he's annoying. And Will? He's the Chief Ambassador of the Neutralizing Mike Comittee (The NMC™) who forever has to remind Mike that had he not said yes to being his friend on the goddam swingset almost 10 years ago, he would be nothing but a frogfaced nerd who has an enternal home in Loserdom.
It's not like Mike being his best friend means anything to him. It's not like Will wasn't brought to literal tears after essentially telling Mike how he's made personal, irreplaceable impact on his life, and how he would always have a place in his heart (as well as his other friends and family). Mind you, Will said all of that immediately after Mike expressed his own self-doubt and inferiority.
Some fans took Mike's nightmare fuel (personal insecurities) and decided it would make great wholesome byler content. Feels bad man... I wish they would let Will love Mike unconditionally like he does in canon.
(P.S. I went on a huge rant about Will's response to the rink o mania/rain scenes , but I didn't know how to get my point across in relation to this without going off the deep end lmfao)
can you marry me, please? 💍 this is a very good articulation of my own thoughts
my answer is very very long, so i'll put it under the cut:
i firmly believe a lot of fanon mike's characteristics are a reflection of the fandom's own anger towards him, starting from s3 onwards. for example — the concept of mike being overly clingy or having nerdy geeking out moments, and then will being annoyed by it? like i'm so sorry, people are not going to like what i say, but the opposite of that dynamic is what is literally canon in the show. in s3 will is attached to his childhood (and by extension his friends + mike) and tries to get all of them to play d&d, and then lucas and mike both scorn him. mike basically tells will to grow up.
now, am i saying that this is the dynamic i want to see portrayed in fics? no, of course not. in fact, the show itself makes it very clear that mike was in the wrong for treating will like that. and the audience was mad at mike. which is why i believe a lot of bylers write a role reversal of this, as some sort of comeuppance mike gets for s3 where he wasn't a good friend to will.
and as for mike being treated like he's the loserest loser in loserland, again, i think it just has a lot to do with people's anger towards him in s3 and s4, whether it's conscious or subconscious. when vol 2 came out everyone and their moms wanted to set fire to mike. people made soooo many jokes about will getting with another guy. all of this anger is also why people constantly peddle the "will is too good for mike" rhetoric as well.
the actors' appearances also come into play here. noah is broader and more toned than finn. that's also why buff byers became a thing, though noah's not really buff, he's just fit. buff byers also came from the idea that mike should be fucking groveling at will's feet, as repented for the way he treated will in s3-s4. like, "hey look! will is super strong and he's a chick/guy magnet and he could literally have any boy in the world!" and so they try to make this sort of disparity between both boys and put will on a pedestal compared to mike so that mike can do nothing but be his personal fanboy who should be grateful will even dared to look upon him.
i think that the van scene also added to people's anger towards mike. ranging from mike not noticing will crying (allegedly), to mike not realizing/accepting will's veiled love confession (allegedly). which is again, why we get more fan content of will not reciprocating mike's romantic affection. or people declaring that mike doesn't deserve will's love. it's just another role reversal.
which is so funny because like you said, will's love is unconditional. he openly admits to feeling lost without mike, but people like to pretend will was a happy little clown in california where everyone wanted a piece of him. and he admits that being mean or pushing mike away is NOT WHO HE IS NORMALLY. like seriously this is literally in the fucking show!!!
my answer is just mostly about byler but again just to note that all of mike's friends love him. they fight him or tease him but that's because they care. they find him annoying in the same way he would also find them annoying. because friends will annoy each other. but they still look up to him. in fact, all of them have had moments where one of their issues was literally the fact that they wanted mike's attention in one way or another.
mike IS a loser. but he's a loser in the sense that all of the party are losers. not in the way fanon portrays, where the party are somehow infinitely cooler than mike, who is written as a bottom of the barrel leech. (and also just to add here — people love over-exaggerating the idea of mike being "ugly" in canon, just so they can pair it with will "could attract literal gods" byers.)
and also, last one — mike is the heart of the party. there's no other way around it. he is their leader, and "without heart, we'd all fall apart" is literally THE most applicable thing to mike. when mike didn't act true to himself, not like the leader he normally is, that's when everything began falling apart. which is why i'm so hyped for s5, where we hopefully get to see mike come back to himself and truly lead the party as their paladin.
anyway marry me anon 💍💍💍

to adventure time post but i genuinely love finn & huntress wizards relationship. its so much more mature than all finns other relationships its like a testament to him growing up. i mean the whole show is because it grew up itself as it went on but like,,, having finn become utterly obsessed with people (bubblegum, FP, susan) and all of it blowing up in his face every time- falling apart, a weird publicity to it all, everyone always knowing what he's going through and having so many opinions on it .
when huntress wizard & finn being a Thing is introduced its literally introduced as something he was doing alone . you know just personally. getting upset when jake tried to treat it like all his other relationships, like a lovesick kid, like it's the gossip of the town. not only that but finn just being casual. when he thinks she's rejecting him he doesnt freak out or break down he just sorts of accepts it and goes to contemplate it on his own. he wasn't even able to find a relationship again until he understood how he hurt phoebe and actually apologized to her. him not wanting to overstep did end up with some beating-around-the-bush miscommunication and they probably wouldn't have ever gotten together if jake hadn't pushed it, but thats also to be expected from two seventeen year olds. them dating is not a Big Deal. if i remember its not even full confirmed for a while, just implied that its common for finn to go hang out and adventure with her sometimes like Jake with Lady. she shows up & spends time at his birthday with all his lifelong friends as if she'd always been there, just part of the group now (not to mention this combined with bubblegum + marceline just suddenly and casually dating during this time and it never being quite covered, because things things just sort of happen. people just grow. its not everyones business.)
and HW is the first person to really emotionally connect with him like that & help him through his issues (helping him take a big step toward recovery after Ferns death) because like... she just likes him. he just likes her. its as simple as that. hes not laying on the floor agonizing over her or writing giddy sappy poetry and they're not boring into each others pasts with a need for information and context. i think how blunt & straightforward HW is also helps with the sheer amount of deception & miscommunication in the past.
and can you fucking believe they find each other in every universe ??? even in farmworld finn grew past his terrible decisions and has a family & even though HW is dead he's made it so no one forgets her & the warmth she brought. Hunter sticks around & helps Fionna without hesitation for what is, again, just a simple liking that she at first doesnt even seem to reciprocate. forgive me for straight up making a this girl character is sooo good for this guy characters development post but they're so sweet it makes me sick what a simple but deep love

i hope this does not come off as rude, but re: your mental health petrigrof posts....have you considered betty having bpd? i saw another AT fan say they think of betty as borderline and ive never been able to stop thinking abt it. and i like your hcs a lot, i think they fit what you think perfectly so... i wanted to ask you what you thought?
somehow, id never really thought about this concept - despite having already considered the idea of betty having a cluster b personality disorder (NPD) and thinking “hmm… potentially”. after reading this, it clicked in my brain so quickly & suddenly that i immediately had to dig up a set of notes id made on personality disorders, and review the diagnostic criteria of BPD with betty in mind. anyway, you are literally so right. honestly, this fits a lot better than NPD in multiple ways.
down below im gonna go through that criteria & talk about betty a bit. but id like to disclaim that i personally do not have BPD and since im not speaking from personal experience, i may have messed up a bit here. i did my best to only use reputable sources (which i will put @ the bottom) for this - but also this isn't an actual psych essay or anything. its me talking about fictional characters.
i do not intend to make light of others mental health experiences by attributing mental disorders to a fictional character. if anyone with BPD feels i've overstepped by bounds here or i've used dehumanizing or otherwise inaccurate or offensive language, please tell me!
I had to shorten this into more short summaries of the analyses i wrote initially. oopsie!
fear of abandonment & rejection; particularly involving frantic attempts to avoid real or perceived abandonment/rejection - betty's entire narrative surrounds her attempts to cure simon of the curse to restore their previous relationship. this isn't necessarily an attempt to avoid (perceived) abandonment or rejection, but it certainty could be, at least to an extent. To me (the way i interpret her), I think a fear or rejection/abandonment is present - even if it wasn't simon's conscious choice to forget her, it still could easily cut into deeper insecurities regarding those things. of course, this would only be one element of betty's very complicated feelings towards simon & motivations for trying so desperately to cure him.
POINT 1 SUMMARY: has basis in canon, it just depends a lot on how you want to interpret her situation from her perspective. and they don’t give us a lot of insight into her perspective.
patterns of intense & unstable relationships w/ others; particularly characterized by views of others that switch back & forth between extremes. characterized by splitting. this one is hard to judge since betty, very noticeably, only really has one relationship: simon (though she's seemingly also friends with magic man & tiny manticore, these relationships aren't explored much). and we don't actually see much of her & simon interacting. betty only really tries to directly rekindle her relationship w/ simon in elements. i think the sudden transition from betty seemingly getting along with simon as ice king to acting antagonistically towards him at the end of elements could definitely support this point (although it's worth noting that it may seem more sudden to the audience, as her change of plans was reveled through her betraying finn; we don't know how long she was planning it for). but this is just one example, at not a pattern of behavior.
whether Betty displays splitting is more debatable, but I feel like she definitely displays some form of dichotomous thinking (in short: thinking in extremes; struggling to see the complexity in people & situations and recognize nuance) - which is symptomatic of BPD, whether or not splitting is present, and then is able to lead into splitting. i think her sudden turning on simon in elements is a potential example of this. she tries to reconnect with Simon, but when he fails to be the person she remembers him being, she is unable (or unwilling) to comprehend the fact that he is still the same person, just under a curse, and instead starts to talk about “simon” and “ice king” like they are 2 separate people: "things will be back to just me and simon, and you won’t exist!"
dichotomous thinking can lead to splitting - the inability to maintain a cohesive set of beliefs about things - i.e. beliefs constantly switching back and forth from two extremes. behavior resemblant of splitting can actually be very commonplace, but splitting as a symptom of BPD stands out as being extremely consistent, pervasive, and often causing a person extreme difficulty on a regular basis. it is also usually accompanied by other symptoms, primarily:
acting impulsively, without consideration of consequences, as a result of thoughts/ideas caused by splitting - betty's actions in elements could count as this - although they were definitely at least somewhat premeditated. still, her newfound idea that Simon and Ice King are separate and therefore it is not possible for her and Simon to be together currently, makes it so she’s willing to openly say she’s going to “obliterate” him + allow oo to be destroyed, in order to restructure time so that she can be with the him that she remembers.
denial; ignoring a fact or reality because it challenges a viewpoint that is not given room for nuance due to splitting - betty’s attempts at ignoring what simon is saying during the end of elements, where she tells herself “i'm doing the right thing” and “It will be over in a second” while appearing visibly distressed and trying to not listen to what simon is saying.
emotional hypochondriasis (trying to get others to understand the severity of your emotional pain) - not present from what i remember
perceived omnipotence; the belief that you have intelligence or power that is superior to others - leading to your perception being correct & theirs being false - i think this is something betty’s character has hints of displaying. i feel she exhibits behavior wherein she refuses to listen to or consider the viewpoints of others, while adamantly maintaining that she is correct. there aren’t many examples of this though, with her interactions with other characters in the show being unfortunately limited. still, there’s a basis in canon for this trait that can definitely be taken & built upon.
passive agressive behavior - potentially the way she acts towards finn & jake in elements at times? again, there’s not nearly enough of her interacting with other characters for there to be a lot of foundation to work off of, but there’s potential hints of this trait.
Projection of undesirable emotions onto others + projective identification -  seemingly not present, but doesn't seem like it would be out of left field for her to display. 
POINT 2 SUMMARY: Not enough relationships w/ others to establish a pattern, but her relationship with Simon in Elements somewhat resembles forms of relationship instability often present for those who have BPD. Dichotomous thinking has some evidence in canon, splitting could be extrapolated from examples of potential dichotomous thinking. She exhibits a lot of the symptoms that often come with splitting that is specific to BPD.
Identity disturbance; typically in the form of markedly or persistently unstable self-image or sense of self - identity disturbance is a key theme of Betty’s character - although it’s prompted by her loss of her relationship with simon & her being transported a thousand years into the future. betty does seem to exhibit an unstable self-image & sense of self, and her level of codependency on simon + her assertion that she doesn’t know if there “any more of [her] left” after how much she’s focused on Simon would support the idea that her sense of self is tied to how others perceive her & exists mainly in conjunction with her relationship with others, rather than on its own - which is part of the identity disturbance in BPD (and in NPD as well). It makes sense within canon that betty’s self-image & feelings of self-worth may be intrinsically & directly connected to her relationships with others (aka, simon).
POINT 3 SUMMARY: Identity disturbance is a key theme of her character. Some portion of the way her feelings of identity is portrayed in the show absolutely fit into how identity disturbance tends to present itself in BPD.
impulsivity; in at least 2 areas that are self-damaging - “Impulsive” is one of the very first personality traits Betty is given, seeing as she makes the very impulsive decision to jump through a portal to the future. She also behaves impulsively later on in the “Betty” episode. It’s debatable if she exhibits it recurrently in at least 2 areas that are self-damaging.
POINT 4 SUMMARY: Behaves impulsively at 2 major points in her introduction episode. Impulsive actions are less present in the rest of the show from what I remember. 
suicidal or self-harming thoughts or behaviors - Betty doesn’t engage in these behaviors, though she does show self-sabotaging behavior, which can be a trait of BPD. This can include: oversharing, misplaced anger, lashing out at others, impulsive behavior, devaluing one's partner. betty displays impulsivity, as mentioned before. she also displays anger & irritability, and the rant she went on in skyhooks 2 certainly qualifies as “devaluing her partner”. 
She also potentially could be argued to engage in self-destructive behavior, with her willingness to be part of Magic Man’s potentially dangerous experiment and her willingness to fuse with Golb at the end of the series - in both cases she does something extremely dangerous because she knows it could help Simon. But nothing straight up suicidal or self-harming, from my memory at least.
POINT 5 SUMMARY: Not really present, though she does potentially display some self sabotaging and self destructive behaviors, which are often present in BPD.
emotional instability & dysregulation, featuring erratic mood swings, including intense episodes of emotion usually lasting a few hours, sometimes up to a few days at a time and involve depression, irritability, or anxiety - At least after gaining Magic Man’s powers, a defining part of Betty’s character is her erratic & neurotic behavior, and to a lesser extent her mood swings.
She acts irritable and depressed at points, but not very anxious. most of the time she exhibits symptoms of mania - she displays rapid speech, high energy, racing thoughts, excitement & joy, grandiosity, impulsivity, and agitation. mania isn’t super common in BPD, but is present. betty definitely struggles w/ emotional regulation, i think.
POINT 6 SUMMARY: erratic behavior & emotional instability + dysregulation are definitely present to some degree; less so mood swings. The way she presents these things doesn't totally fit into the way they are usually presented in BPD
Chronic, perpetual feelings of emptiness. “Emptiness” can manifest as: 
feelings of loneliness & melancholy - betty being lonely is kind of part of her whole thing. she misses simon. a lot.
confusion about one’s life & goals - displayed, particularly in the start of elements, where she starts to doubt her ability to cure simon.
Lack of motivation - Her behavior while on Mars
Feelings that you lack clarity on who you are as a person, who you want to be, & your sense of identity - feeling that you are “losing touch” with yourself - Absolutely present in, and important to, her character. Particularly touched on in Temple of Mars.
Not caring about much, not feeling interested in things, not being fueled by anything in particular - Also somewhat shown during Temple of Mars.
Feelings of emptiness can be triggered or exacerbated by things. Things present in Betty’s story that can do this are:
Not taking care of oneself - including taking care of others over yourself; putting your own needs aside for a long time can cause feelings of emptiness.
Not talking or exploring emotions that have been affecting you for long periods of time can lead them to manifest in other ways, including feelings of emptiness.
Not having/maintaining significant/meaningful relationships. When things like emotional intimacy, support, active listening, and companionship/company are not present in a person’s life, this can lead to feelings of emptiness - this can be especially true for BPD, where relationships with others are often given more importance than the innate self is.
POINT 7 SUMMARY: She is implied to experience feelings of emptiness in the show. She also experiences events that are often triggers for feelings of emptiness / tend to worsen feelings of emptiness. 
Anger issues; including intense anger, difficulty controlling anger. Sometimes results in intense violent/angry outbursts, often followed by extreme guilt or remorse. Betty’s angry outburst at Simon at the end of Elements comes to mind. Other than this she does not have any angry outbursts from what I can remember, though she does behave irritably and on-edge. Personally, I interpret her as having anger issues
POINT 8 SUMMARY: not super present in the show, though she does behave irritably & have an angry outburst at one point. I have anger issues and want to project onto her, though. 
stress-related paranoid ideation - betty doesn’t openly exhibit these symptoms in the show, though the fact that she reaches out so little for help could be indicative of distrust of others. i feel like paranoid behavior would fit right in with betty’s character, though I don’t remember there being any actual examples of it in the show.
dissociative symptoms; such as feeling cut off from oneself, observing oneself from outside your body, feelings of unreality. betty expresses feelings of being disconnected from herself and her identity, though not necessarily her physical body. the scene where she watches her younger self has visual parallels to dissociative experiences. her experience when gaining her magic powers could resemble a dissociative experience.
the latter two would not exist as examples of her actually experiencing dissociation, so much as they could be representative of it while using the fantasy elements of adventure time, similar to the way simon & his crown is a fantasy element, but is used to represent mental health issues, even though in canon what’s technically going on is magic. other than this there isn’t really anything in canon to support the idea of betty having dissociative symptoms, although again, it feels in line with her character.
POINT 10 SUMMARY: potentially could be extrapolated from her words in the show + the way her mental health struggles are represented visually, but does not have much basis in canon
CONCLUSION: does betty have BPD? probably not intentionally, but also probably. obviously it's up to individual interpretation, but i think it makes a whole lot of sense! sorry for how long this is, just know the version in my google docs is a million times longer. also, i didn't re watch episodes to make this, so feel very free to tell me my interpretations don't work LOL
i used multiple articles frm each site, but heres the sites i used: Verywell Mind, National Alliance on Mental Illness, National Institute of Mental Health, Psych Central

"Guys, what I am supposed to be meditating about?" Asked a thirteen years old human boy as he whispered.
His name was Finn, he had white skin and blonde hair which was hidden by a white hat that resembled a bear. He was wearing black shoes with white socks, dark blue shorts, a blue shirt with short sleeves, and he was carrying a green backpack.
"Don't know." Surprisingly a yellow dog replied. "I'm thinkng of pillows stuffed with spaghetti."
His name was Jake, he was a magical talking dog who could walk in two legs. He had yellow fur, floppy ears and two cute big eyes.
Finn and Jake were also brothers.
"Pillows stuffed with what?" A third voice asked, wondering if they heard wrong.
That person was you.
You, like Finn, were a human. You were wearing brown boots with black socks, gray jeans, a white shirt with short sleeves, a duffle hooded jacket of your favorite color, and you were carrying a leather satchel.
"With spaghetti." Jake replied again.
You felt a hand on the top of your head before you could say anything else.
"Clear your minds."
"Right! Sorry, Princess." You said while she was doing the same with Finn and Jake.
Her name was Princess Bubblegum, she had pale pink skin and long pink hair, long enough it reached her ankles. She was wearing casual pink yoga pants and shirt, pink shoes, a hot pink cardigan sweater, and a golden crown with a blue gem.
Princess Bubblegum, PB for short, had invited you and the boys to meditated with her in her castle.
Apparently, meditating helped you become stronger in a spiritual way.
While Finn complaining that it was "boring", you and Jake were all for it.
You don't know how Jake feels, but you were a little stressed.
Last week, you, Finn, and Jake, were on a mission to rescue Hot Dog Princess's knights from a maze they got lost in.
The three of you found them easily and were about to get out, but one of the knights said something about a magical creature that granted wishes in the center of the maze.
You weren't interested, but the two boys were, they both seemed to have the same wish.
The ancient psychic tandem war elephant.
In the end you all entered the labyrinth to find those wishes and, to not get lost, Jake has tied his legs to something and start to stretch.
You may wonder, how was that possible? Well, that's because Jake had shapeshifting powers! He could change into anything he wanted… but it seems that even he had limits.
The deeper you went into the maze, the more he stretched and the more he stretched, the smaller he became.
You tried to stop him, but he wasn't listening.
You finally arrived at the center of the maze, where you guys found what seemed to be a mud snake.
You thought one of the knights was going to wish for Jake to be okay... but you forgot they were... slow. One of them wished for a box while the other literally exploded.
Poor Jake was so disoriented that he ended up wishing for a sandwich. That left you and Finn.
You were going to make your wish and save Jake, but it seemed like the snake was enjoying watching him die and said it was Finn's turn, so you couldn't do anything.
You knew how much he wanted to wish for the elephant, you were about to tell him that you can wish the elephant for him, so that he could save his brother, but it seemed that he had other plans.
He wished for the elephant and began to communicate with him telepathically.
And apparently because the elephant was there, he was also granted a wish and ended up wishing for everyone to be healed.
And with that Jake and the knights were okay, then the elephant took all of you home.
You still had a wish, but you didn't use it yet, you just kept it in a jar and hid it in your closet.
The snake had said that there were no do-overs.
You expected today to be a relaxing day.
You took a deep breath and tried to clear your mind, but all that effort went out the window as PB gasped in fear.
"I have to go check on something!"
"Can we go with?" Finn asked.
"Perhaps you are ready to go with." PB answered after a few seconds.
"Are you sure, princess?" You asked. "We can stay here if you want."
"Yes, i'm sure."
"Alright." You said as Finn and Jake bumped their fists.
"Guys, you'll need to put these on." PB said as she took off a pair of earrings from her ears.
After putting each earring, which were apparently also tiaras, on Finn and Jake's heads, she removed a necklace from her neck and put it on yours.
Everything around you turned a transparent blue for a second.
"Neat." You heard Jake say.
Then PB touched the gem on her crown and then a transparent blue bubble surrounded her head.
Oh, so that's what happened a second ago.
"Stay close to me." PB said before clapping her hands.
Then her butler, Peppermint, appeared and blew a very large bubble, big enough for the four of you to get inside and once inside the bubble began to float upwards, up to the tree on the top of the castle.
"At the heart of this tree is an ancient evil, held in a prison of amber…" You gave PB your full attention.
The bubble burst once you reached your destination.
"The Lich."
You gasped at what was before you.
There, trapped in amber, was the Lich.
The first thing you noticed were its horns, they resembled those of a goat, the left one was intact while the right one was broken.
Then you looked at it's face, it had horrific green lights as pupils peering out of its empty eye sockets, and pale undead skin pulled tight against its noseless skull. Its skin is frayed away from its lips revealing a wicked and perpetual grin. Its arms are bare bones with various decayed tissues, showing off its skeletal hands. It was wearing loose robe with multiple layers and a large cape that is severely torn at its end.
You had never seen anything like this, not even in the three years you were in the land of Ooo.
"Jesus christ." You whispered.
And if that wasn't enough, you started hearing things, they sounded like meaningless whispers.
"What's that sound?" Finn asked as you looked around trying to figure out where the sound was coming from.
"He is casting spells… trying to get in your head and control your bob, but these gems are protecting our minds from his influence." PB said making you touch the necklace she gave you. "If we lost the gems, we'd be defenceless, he would have full control over us."
"That's freaking nuts." Finn exclaimed.
You stared at the Lich fow for a few seconds before looking back at PB.
"Beyond Iceberg Lake lies the ruins of the Lich's tower, where he was converting the planet's life-force into unholy power to destroy all of Ooo." PB explained. "But before he could, the Legendary Billy attacked him and pummeled him into the resin of this tree."
Billy, you remember meeting that guy, like, a few months ago.
Your train of thought come to a stop when you heard the sound of something breaking.
"Is it just me or do you guys also hear that?" You asked nervously.
"I thought i was the only one." Jake answered.
"I… what the nuts?!" PB screamed with fear.
You, Finn, and Jake, turned around and gasped in shock.
The Lich has escaped! But how?!
"Dude, be a big sword!" Finn told Jake, who did so without hesisation.
Finn then grabbed Jake and used him to hit the Lich… but it didn't work because he ended up escaping.
PB gasped and shout. "Quickly! To the other secret room!"
]|[«»]|[««»»]|[«»]|[
PB had taken the three of you to a room with a closet, a chest, and a window.
"There's only one know weapon that can harm the Lich…" PB said as she opened the closet. "The gauntlet of the hero."
Inside the closet was a large gray gauntlet with one eye, which was closed, on the back of the hand and a blue gem on the back of the wrist.
You've always wondered why Billy didn't have his gauntlet when you met him, it turns out it was here all the time.
PB put the gauntlet on your right hand and said. "You have but one chance. While the Lich isn't at full power, you must smite him with this."
"Cool." You said in amazement after witnessing the glove shrink to your size.
"His only desire is to destroy life." PB whispered while grabbing a crystal ball, the ball showed an underground entrance. "If you fail, he'll kill everyone." Now the ball was showing the Lich with fire in the background.
"No! That will not happen!" Finn declared as you nodded.
"That's right!"
PB smiled, then walked towards the chest and opened it. "Finn, this is for you, The Lich's lair is supposed to be cold. I just don't want you to get sick." She took out a pink sweater and gave it to him. "Take this sweater, I made it myself. I'm not great at knitting, but please wear it… I care about you, Finn."
"I love it." Finn replied after putting it on.
PB then hugged him, you and Jake didn't hesitate to join the hug.
Not a second later, the four of you were startled by the sound of the window opening.
All of you gasped.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Mothertrucker! You again?!" It was all you said the moment you realized who it was.
His name was Ice King, he was a crazy and annoying old wizard. He had pale blue skin, a long nose, long white hair and beard. He was wearing a dark blue robe and a golden crown with three red gems.
"So, I've been thinking about this a lot lately and, well… gosh i'm so nervous."
"What the heck do you want?" You asked with annoyance.
He looked at you and asked. "Will you gave me your blessing so i can marry Princess Bubblegum?"
It took you a few seconds to comprehend what you had just heard and when you did it… you were furious.
"Not in a million years! Get out of here you old pig!" You yelled before running towards the window.
"What?! Why are you calling me that?!" He asked angrily.
You didn't even answer him, you just closed the window.
"No! Not the latch!"
"Quickly now, guys." PB said. "Track the Lich by his trail of death."
"Here i go!" Finn exclaimed before he started running.
"Oh no, you don't!" You interrupted and grabbed him by the back of his sweater. "You are going to stay here."
"What?! Why can't i go?!"
"I need you to protect the princess, Finn." You said. "You know how batshoot crazy the Ice King is, you need to stay here and make sure he doesn't kidnap her."
You weren't exaggerating, the Ice King was crazy, he was obsessed with marrying a princess to the point that he even kidnapped them.
And you may wonder, how can Finn, a thirteen years old boy, protect PB from Ice King, a wizard?
Well, that's because kicking the Ice King's ass is easier than one might think.
Yes, even to the point a thirteen years old could kick his ass.
"I guess you are right." Finn said quietly.
"Come one, Jake!" You shouted before running out of the room.
"Here i go!"
"Be safe." You heard PB say.
]|[«»]|[««»»]|[«»]|[
The two of you were running through the candy forest following the Lich's trail of death, which was not a difficult thing to do.
"Be honest with me, did you want Finn to protect PB or was that just a excuse so he won't come?" Jake asked.
"Actually is a little bit of both, if Finn is with the princess, he will protect her from the Ice King and he won't get close to the Lich." You answered. "is a win-win scenario!"
You knew Finn very well, you knew he could defend himself.
But if the Lich is as bad as PB says he is, you didn't want to risk the young boy getting hurt or worse.
"Running this fast makes my stomach hurt." Jake commented after you crossed a bridge.
"Come on, Jake!" You looked back at him, still running. "we are getting close to the-"
You couldn't finish what you were saying because you bumped into something.
When you looked up, you realized it wasn't something but someone.
"What the fuck, Ice King?!" You shouted before pushing him out of the way.
"Hey! Wait! I'm serious about Bubblegum."
Neither you nor Jake paid attention to him and kept running.
Suddenly, the Ice King began to float and got in front of you while saying. "Look, i wrote her name all over my arms and legs!"
"Aaaahh!" You and Jake started screaming in horror and disgust.
The Ice King showed the two of you his arms and legs which had written "Princess Bubblegum" all over them.
Forget the Lich, this was the most horrifying thing in the world!
You and Jake started running again, still screaming.
Ice King started following you. "It's not fair! She always hangs out with the three of you!" He looked at you and said. "And it's not like you want to marry her!"
"Of course i don't want to fucking marry her, you pig! She is almost three decades younger than me!" You yelled.
"Why do you keep following us?!" Asked Jake who was already getting tired of this, you shared that feeling.
"I told you already! I want your blessing so i can marry Princess Bubblegum!"
You and Jake just ignored him and kept running, hoping he would get tired of this and leave.
Of course that doesn't happen and now you're stuck inside an ice dome.
"Come on, give me permission to marry her. I'll… i'll-"
You interrupted him. "I have already told you! Not in a million years!"
"Oh, come on! If you bless our wedding, then maybe she'll really love me."
"I told you no, you idiot! Now get out of the way before I punch you!" You warned him.
"I will! When you bless our wedding!"
Without hesitation, you punched him in the face with the gauntlet.
Hey, you did warn him.
"Aaaahh! My nose!" He screamed in pain.
"Jake, get us out of here."
"I'm on it." Jake said as he shapeshifted his fist into a bigger fist and punching the ice walls.
]|[«»]|[««»»]|[«»]|[
Soon you and Jake found yourselves on a beach and ran towards the shore.
"Hey! This is the place Finn and I found you frozen!" Jake commented.
Once you were on the shore, Jake pointed to the lake and said. "There! Out over the lake!"
You could see the Lich rise from the water and start floating away from you.
"Jake, turn into a boat!" You told him.
"I'm your dinghy dog!"
You and Jake started following him but then you noticed that you were doing it very slowly.
"Jake, wait! I will see if can use this thing!" You shouted as you put the gauntlet in the water. "Now, how do I use this?" You asked yourself before tapping it with your left hand.
Suddenly, the eye on the gauntlet opened, revealing a green eye and a black triangular pupil, and shot a beam from the palm.
"Aaaahh!" You and Jake started screaming, not expecting that.
At least that helped! You and Jake were going faster now.
"We are getting closer!" Jake shouted.
"On the count of three!" You shouted before pulling the gauntlet out of the water and pointing it at the Lich.
"One… two… three!"
But before you could blast the Lich, the Ice King got in the way! And he had…
"Finn?! Princess?!" You shouted with horror in your eyes before poiting the gauntlet away from them and into the water. "No!"
You and Jake ended up being shooted to the sky.
"Oh, no." Ice King commented before he, PB, and Finn, ended up getting soaked. "Oh gross. This water stinks"
Once you and Jake were on the shore, you yelled so loudly that your throat hurt. "Ice King!!"
"Look! Look what you made me do to them!" He yelled as he showed you PB and Finn, who had their wrists frozen.
"I didn't made you do anything, you stupid son of a-!"
PB interrupted you. "Guys! Don't let the Lich reach his well of power!"
Before you or Jake could say anything, you heard an explosion going off.
"What is that?! "Finn asked alarmed.
"Oh no! He made it!" PB shouted.
"Princess, don't worry! We still got time!" You hoped you were right.
You and Jake started running and ended up finding an underground entrance.
"Hey, where are you guys going? What's going on?" Ice King asked.
You just ignored him and got inside.
Soon you and Jake found yourselves in a…
"A underground subway?" You asked in surprise while looking around and taking note of the skeletons on the ground.
"You were here before?" Jake asked.
"No, but i know what it is. We had these things back in my time… damn, I sound old saying that."
You suddenly heard something akin to someone shushing before the witnessing all of the skeleton getting up.
"Oh, fuck!" You cursed before activating the gauntlet and blasting all of them. "We don't have time for this."
"Then let's go." Jake said before he started running.
Before you could follow him, you felt something grabbing your satchel. You looked down and saw it was a skeleton.
"Oh hell no!" You yelled before stomping on its head, breaking its skull without problem.
You were next to Jake when you two felt the floor shake, you looked down and saw that it wasn't the floor, you were on top of a giant skeleton!
You, without thinking, activated the gauntlet and blasted it, unfortunately you accidentally also made a hole in the floor and the two of you fell down there.
]|[«»]|[««»»]|[«»]|[
You and Jake didn't stop screaming or falling but then you saw a pipe.
You grabbed Jake with your left arm and grabbed the pipe with the gauntlet before you two turned into pancakes.
Not far from you was another hole in the floor, you got closer to it and saw…
"The Lich." you whispered.
The Lich was in front of what appeared to be a well filled with… green stuff, for the lack of better word, and then dipped his hands there.
"He's getting his powers back. weird." Jake commented before climbing onto your back.
"Well, not for long." you whispered before blasting him.
Unfortunately, he dodged it.
You keep blasting him, but he keeps dodging.
You jumped down and started falling towards the Lich to blast him in the face.
But he grabbed you by the wrist, the one with the gauntlet.
"Oh, no." You said nervously.
The Lich got his face close to yours and brought his skeletal index finger to his non-existential lips.
He shushed and the gauntlet exploded.
You and Jake were in pure shock.
The Lich then grabbed Jake and threw him across the room.
"Jake!"
You tried to get the Lich to let go, but he grabbed you by the chin and made you look at him.
Your frightened eyes staring back at his empty eye sockets.
After the Lich finished examining you, that's what you think he was doing, he threw you to the other side of the room.
You ended up hitting the back of your head against the wall.
You lost consciousness for a couple of seconds but managed to stay awake.
"Ice King, let us go right now!"
You prayed to God for that not to be Finn, you prayed to God for that not to be Finn.
You looked up and saw Ice King with, yep, PB and Finn.
"You get to be kidding me!" You shouted angrily.
"Jake!" Finn screamed watching his brother dodge a green fireball thrown by the Lich.
Finn then hit the Ice King with his frozen wrists.
"Aaaahh! Why do people keep hitting my nose?!" Ice King screamed in pain and dropped Finn.
Once on the floor, Finn broke the ice on his wrists and ran to his brother.
"Jake, are you okay?!" Finn asked.
"That's it! I'm gonna bark him!" Jake exclaimed before grabbing his brother and using his shapeshifting powers to stretch towards the Lich.
This turned out to be a bad idea because the Lich ended up hitting him in the face with a fireball.
"No!" You and PB shouted.
Jake started falling with Finn under him.
You felt your heart stop at the sound of a gem breaking.
"Finn." You whispered watching the young boy get up… his eyes turning black with green pupils.
Finn clutched his head in pain and screamed. "Stop!"
He stopped after a few seconds and started walking towards… the well.
"No!" You shouted before standing up and running towards him.
You grabbed him by the back of his sweater and dragged him away from the well. Once you were away he tried to fight you, so you did the first thing that came to your mind.
You took out your necklace and put it on him.
]|[«»]|[««»»]|[«»]|[
Everything around you… turned black… and so very cold.
You looked around… but could see nothing but absolute darkness.
You felt so cold that you quickly pulled up the zipper of your jacket.
Then you heard an unknown voice calling your name.
You looked around and discovered it was the Lich.
"Aren't you cold?" He asked.
Yes… yes, you were cold.
"Walk into the well."
You tried not to do that, you really did, but you couldn't stop.
You started walking towards the well but then you felt something akin to arms grabbing you around the middle trying to stop you, but you were stronger so you kept walking although with a little difficulty.
Then you felt like you couldn't move anymore, you tried to move your legs but you couldn't.
You looked down but saw nothing.
What's happening?
You looked up and saw the Lich throw fire at you.
You tried to move but couldn't.
But the fire didn't do anything to you, it didn't even touch you.
You took note that the Lich seemed surprised.
Why?
Then the Lich started screaming.
He also started moving weird, from your point of view it seemed as if he was hitting himself against something.
Now he started laughing and laughing, to the point that it was causing you a headache.
Then he disappeared.
]|[«»]|[««»»]|[«»]|[
You gasped once everything was clear again and you could see again.
"Finn! Buddy!"
You saw Jake on the other side of the well with Finn on the ground over what seemed to be dust.
"Jake?" Finn asked before exclaiming. "Jake!"
"Finn!" You shouted. "Are you alright?!"
"Yes! I'm alright!" Finn replied with a smile and asked. "Are you alright?!"
"Yes!" You tried to go towards them, but you couldn't move your legs. "What the-"
You looked down and noticed that you were trapped in ice, from your feet to your knees.
"Why are my legs frozen?"
"Finn saved you!" Jake said.
"Finn! You did it!" PB exclaimed with a smile.
"We did?" Ice King asked. "Hey! Yeah, we did!"
That made you raise an eyebrow.
Did he actually do something or is he just talking nonsense?
"You guys! This experience has brought us all so much closer together." Ice King looked at PB and said. "Princess, I'm sorry for all of this. I love you, and I've decided to set you free!"
That made you sigh with relief.
Ice King melted the ice on PB's wrists and let her go. "Go free!"
"Noooooo!!!" You, Finn, and Jake, shouted in horror.
And why is that?
Because he dropped her into the fucking well!
"Whoops! I've got the dropsies!
None of you said anything, you didn't even insulted him.
You all just stared at the well.

You know how people don't like people who are in any way positively associated with Lewis? I think we should talk about that.
People don't like Lewis, they think he's a crybaby (crymilton), not a nice person and just a total nightmare to work with. Right?
And then they expect these ideas about Lewis to be validated by the people around Lewis because they can't possibly deal with this idea that this image of Lewis they have have created in their head perhaps isn't as accurate as expected.
Because you have Valtteri talk about how Lewis is very friendly, they have these cute little coffee dates (even though Lewis hates coffee) how they share flights ("we ride together"). And people lose their mind, their ideas about Lewis aren't actually being validated or even legitimised and now Valtteri is public enemy number 1. He's just not that good of a driver right? He's just the 2nd driver so he shouldn't speak his opinions and be quiet right? And obviously he purposefully had that crash in Hungary to benefit Lewis right? But how come you guys liked him before he invalidated your feelings about Lewis. How come I see posts about how people didn't know that Valtteri was just this funny guy, brimming with personality and character now and not when he was with Mercedes. He's always been a funny guy. It's funny how it's only now that people are taking notice.
Same for George, everyone loves him in Williams, his personality. And then it was announced that he was joining Mercedes and suddenly he's a PR robot. He tweeted about an injustice that occurred as a result of unfair practices (breaking literal rules) because he's a Mercedes driver now. Not because he recognises the fact that a rule of his sport was broken, not because he's a director of the GPDA and acts as the mouthpiece of all these drivers who are probably thinking the exact same thing (watch Lance's onboard, watch Daniel telling Pierre what happened). And if he dares to praise his 7 time champion of the world teammate, well thats because he's been coached by Mercedes to say those things as if he doesn't have thoughts of his own.
And Toto says he's believes that RBR may have influenced the race director - when you repeat the words of the person who encouraged you to break a rule whilst breaking said rule it is called being influenced by that individual. And everyone went crazy twitter was alight with 'Wow can't believe he said that' tumblr started with it's 'I used to like/respect Toto but now...'. And the funny thing is, you're going to get to angry about someone voicing their reasonable opinion on how they've lost an achievement due to rule-breaking but someone says something Misogynistic and someone else accuses someone of performance enhancing drugs simply because they wanted to tie their hair and that's just 'peak shithousery'. You guys are going to lose respect for the man reeling from injustice and teehee over racially charged/Misogynistic language because it's 'peak shithousery'.
And you know what the funny thing is, I wrote this at the end of last season (found it in my drafts) and to my surprise it completely fits this season. Because Lewis is still hated (but I thought yall hated his dominance), George is still the same PR robot he was when the move was announced ('there's just something about him' - there wasn't when he was at Williams - maybe it's the black man besides him) and Valtteri is still the wholesome funny Finn he was as soon as his move was announced (maybe the lack of black man besides him?). Oh and Toto is still the lobbying git because doing what every team principal has done since the beginning of team principals and that's apparently more vile than accusing someone of faking injuries, comparing racial abuse to criticism and accusing someone of murder. Right?

Since Fionna and Cake is coming out now I wanted to write out some thoughts I've had about Fionna and Cake since the Adventure Time episode Fionna and Cake and Fiona.
I want to get these old thoughts and head canon/theories I had about these characters out before I start getting into the Fionna and Cake show.
So this is primarily based off of what is shown in the original five Adventure Time episodes that Fionna & Cake appeared in.
With Adventure Time the series being abbreviated to just AT, season to S, and episode to E.
These being the episodes: AT S3 E9: Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake AT S5 E11: Bad Little Boy AT S6 E9: The Prince Who Wanted Everything AT S8 E9: Five Short Tables AT S9 E12: Fionna and Cake and Fionna
Let's establish one thing first. When we're introduced to the characters of Fionna and Cake's universe back in Adventure time, they aren't real people the way the character's in Finn and Jake's dimension are, or Farm World, or any other dimension we see because of Prismo.
When we are introduced to the world of Fionna and Cake in Adventure Time, Fionna and Cake are fictional characters within the world of Adventure Time. Not an alternate dimension, alternate timeline, none of that.
So when talking about them with in the context of the original 5 Adventure Time episodes they appear in, we have to consider the fact, that how they act is warped by which character from the "real" Adventure Time world wrote/told that story.
Something that is basically confirmed in the episode Fionna and Cake and Fionna, due to the tape existing, and the ending showing Fionna and Cake getting beamed into Ice King's head for unknown reasons.
[And doubly confirmed from what the trailers I've seen of the new Fionna and Cake show trailers.
With Cake jumping out of the back of Simon's head, and a button appearing on Prismo's inter-dimensional remote that wasn't there before.
Meaning that Fionna and Cake were once fictional but are now going to become real for some reason in the new show, but this post isn't really about that.]
Ice King is the writer/narrator in Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake, and Five Short Tables, and it shows. Marceline is the writer/narrator in Bad Little Boy, and it shows. LPS is the writer of the story in The Prince Who Wanted Everything, and it definitively shows.
To the different writers (as in the AT Characters writing the Fionna and Cake stories in AT, not the literal AT writers) the various characters get interpreted differently because they mean different things to the different writers.
AT S3 E9: Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake:
In the first Fionna and Cake story we see, Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake, Ice King is the writer and it shows in how the various characters are written. Specifically in how his opinions and feelings for the gender bent characters aren't a match for the people they're supposed to be based on that Ice King actually interacts with.
I'm primarily talking about Prince Gumball.
See Ice King is in love with Princess Bubblegum within his real world, because his Ice Crown-insanity has conflated PB with Betty in his mind. Betty, a highly intelligent, red head with flexible morals nicknamed princess, and a pink princess scientists who also has flexible morals.
This isn't the case with Prince Gumball. Prince Gumball in the first episode he appears in, is a wimpy nerd who's actually being kidnapped and imprisoned, and had been replaced by the Ice Queen in disguise for the entire story. Ice Queen, as in Ice King's stand in.
The story then ends with Fionna, who's shown to be sweet, and a bit of a tomboy, and a complete badass, and the protagonist of this story, suddenly turning down the now rescued Prince Gumball at the end of the story to declare her love for the Ice King. Completely breaking the fourth wall of the story.
Much like how Princess Bubblegum is a stand in for Betty while Simon is Ice King in real life, Prince Gumball is a stand in for someone in this story. Except it's not Betty or even Princess Bubblegum. It's Simon.
A shy, soft spoken nerd, who falls for and tries to romance a far more capable and badass girl, only for him to in the end suddenly turn into the Ice Queen who is Ice King's own stand in. Then the girl suddenly breaks the fourth wall to come be with Ice King in the real world.
It's Simon's deepest subconscious fantasy written out. The idea of Betty somehow coming back to him and loving him even as the Ice King.
Ice King is insane, his memory is almost certainly not linear or coherent.
Ice King for example knows on some level he used to be Simon Petrikov. He recognizes himself in the old tapes and pictures, and feels shame over the fact that he used to wear glasses. But he struggles to remember how exactly he knows Marceline.
So Ice King is writing these stories attempting to figure out what's going on in his head. And is just projecting what he feels and desires onto the people he interacts with the most.
Which at this point in his life is Finn, Jake, PB and Marceline, but none of them are perfect matches to the characters he has in his head. So Ice King had to improvise/switch things around, which is what lead to the gender swapping.
Finn for example, could never be a Simon stand in. Because Finn is a sweet jock with more optimism than sense, and Simon is a squishy nerd guy who upon the first time of being returned to sanity requests that everyone just let him die than make him go back to living as the Ice King.
So yeah, for AT S3 E9, Fionna = Betty, Gumball = Simon, Ice Queen = Ice King. Like the Ice Queen pretending to be Prince Gumball spends that entire story doing the absolute best trying to romance Fionna. I don't know what else this could be implying.
AT S5 E11: Bad Little Boy
Okay so this story is written/narrated by Marceline, and once again none of the characters are direct parallels to who they are in their real lives. At least not quite.
The story is once again told from Fionna's point of view, and Fionna is once again not a stand in for Finn in this story but someone else. Not Betty, no. She's PB in this story. Or at least a version of PB, Gumball is also PB in this story. Let me explain.
Gumball is even more of a massive stick in the mud weeny boy than he was in Ice King's story. Which is impressive considering Ice King was using him as a stand in for himself as Simon, which Ice King just hates acknowledging.
He sends Fionna on quests she finds pointless and boring, makes her carry him up the tree in order to see what stole the creme puffs, is incredibly nervous about getting wet in the rain (even though we've seen PB get wet before, like she doesn't dissolve). He's snobby, basically openly distasteful of Marshal Lee's presence and behavior.
He's the embodiment of what Marceline sees as Princess Bubblegum at her worst and most princess-y. He's self important, all about appearances and a massive wet blanket, who wouldn't know fun if it reached out and pinched his butt.
Fionna is more along the lines of the PB that Marceline knew when they were younger. More willing to break rules (like we see in Varmints with PB and Marcy stumbling upon old graffiti that PB did at Marcy's insistence), go on adventures, have fun, and had the absolute surety that Marcy wasn't a bad person no matter what Marcy herself had to say or tried to insist at that time.
Marshal Lee is in fact written as Marceline, or at least how Marceline views herself, either at this point in time, or how she used to be. He's mysterious and seductive, the life of the party, and he has no trouble threatening people or lying in order to get what he wants.
He pretends he's dying to try and manipulate a love confession out of Fionna, he's not a good dude in this story. Which says a bit about how Marceline's perspective on herself.
And Marshal Lee and Fionna's interactions in this episode especially feel like a speed run version of Marcy and PB's earlier relationship. With Marcy being the rebellious bad girl who more or less showed a younger PB how to walk on the wild side, before PB bogged herself down too much with (literal) self made responsibilities.
A relationship we get to actually see more bits and pieces of in Stakes and Obsidian.
Anyways I definitely could see a point in time where a younger, less mature Marcy attempted to get a love confession out of PB by either faking a serious or even life threatening injury, and it back firing on her.
AT S6 E9: The Prince Who Wanted Everything
This is the most obvious one where the "real person" writing it influences the characters. As Lumpy Space Princess is the one who wrote this, and she wrote it because she wants to bring her gender pend counterpart Lumpy Space Prince into the real world so they could be together.
Not much else to say about this one, LPS kidnaps the Ice King and forces him to read her fanfic under the strange idea if Ice King Reads it it will become real? IDK I've never really understood LPS's thought process on this.
AT S8 E9: Five Short Tables
These stories are all also written by Ice King, but I think he was in a different head space when he wrote them. One where he wasn't thinking about the Simon and Betty situation as much. His subconscious Simon brain and memories are definitely still influencing his writing, but not as much.
Fionna is much more similar to Finn in this story, and is for once not just playing the reader stand-in/love interest of some other character in this story.
Prince Gumball is still pretty heavily influenced by Simon, still a wimpy nerd, who is very often the butt of the joke. With Butterscotch Butler not only kicking his ass at checkers, but also reading his diary.
Marshal Lee in just about a 180 from how he was portrayed in the story written by Marceline, is shown to be a caring and loyal friend who isn't afraid to act completely ridiculous in order to convince a sick Lumpy Space Prince to take some medicine. Though in the end Marshal mentions that he might have given Lumpy Space Prince the wrong medicine, as he breaks out after taking it.
Which I think shows an interesting difference between how Ice King views Marceline, vs how Marceline views herself. Marceline casted the genderbent version of herself as a sort of devil may care seducer character, who was a party animal who wasn't afraid to hurt people if he found it funny. Ice King meanwhile writes Marshal Lee as a caring friend who sometimes makes mistakes despite his best intentions.
Ice Queen is very much Ice King in this episode, except more how Ice King views himself. She writes fanfiction too, but hers is much more moody and philosophical than Ice King's is shown to be. And Ice Queen, Cake, and Fionna having banter far more typical of Ice King, Jake and Finn would.
So Yeah
Those are my thoughts. Someone miraculously able to understand my crazed unmedicated ADHD ramblings might have noticed I didn't really touch on the episode Fionna and Cake and Fionna.
I didn't primarily because it doesn't really fit in with the rest of canon. Not then really, and not now with the new Fiona and Cake show coming out from what I've seen.
That episode shows Fionna and Cake's stories getting beamed into Ice King's mind from somewhere else as a tv show. Which doesn't really make sense with the Fionna and Cake show coming out.
Which shows that Fionna and Cake live in Simon Petrikov's subconscious, and aren't a real separate dimension until he tries to summon Golbetty. Like there's a scene where they jump out of the back of his head Steven Universe style and everything. They live in there.
They can't just be a pre-mushroom war tv show characters either. Because that would have made even less sense than Simon managing to pick up weird inter-dimensional stuff due to the Ice Crown. Which is basically what's implied to be happening in Fionna and Cake and Fionna.
The odds of there being a pre-mushroom war tv show that just happens to have characters and a premise that is identical to the lives they're currently living 1000 years after said war, with even all of the inter-personal relationships between characters matching up?
Non-existent.
The only way the episode Fionna and Cake and Fionna still makes sense canon/timeline wise is if that beam that shoots into Ice King's head while he's sleeping, is transmitting his Fionna and Cake dreams out of his head and to some other receiver.
Like in the show Fiona and Cake people know Simon as the guy who wrote the Fionna and Cake stories. Telling me that after Simon was free of the Ice Crown, at some point during his free time he went back through his embarrassing Fionna and Cake fanfiction and wrote them up into something actually coherent.
So these are my thoughts, do with them what you will.

okay, I thought I'd be sick of talking about Santana's outing, but I'm not! specifically, I think it's fascinating how most of the fandom doesn't... actually remember what happened? like, so much of what I see being said that places Santana in the wrong in this situation is just... not true. like, you're literally just wrong. not even in my opinion, either, it's just factually incorrect. canonically, the shit that you're saying happened literally didn't happen.
"Finn just slipped up and mentioned her sexuality a little too loudly in the hallway!" no. he didn't.
"everyone already knew!" no. they didn't.
"nobody cared!" yes. they did.
Every time I think got it all out I realize that I, in fact, have even more to rage about! So I feel you, we're deffo on the same wavelength about the many sins of IKAG.
You are so, so right, and no offense but I wish you weren't because people can be so thick about this and it's appalling how well IKAG's retcon works. They implicitly retcon the actual Outing to the point that you're absolutely correct, people will straight up lie about what happened. Okay, maybe not lie, but misremember to the point that I've had full on arguments with people about this, begging them to just rewatch the goddamm scene. After three or so rounds of back and forths they rewatched the scene, and guess what? Whereas before they argued that it was an impulsive reaction from Finn, something he blurted out and couldn't possibly be blamed for in light of Santana's relentless bullying*, they now admitted they were wrong.
Isn't it insane how many will claim that? How people go into discussions with full confidence about false memories. And I blame this false memory on IKAG itself and how it reframes The Outing. It's so insidious you really wouldn't notice it as a casual viewer who buys the hero!Finn devil!Santana narrative. In its very first scene, IKAG entirely puts the blame on Santana by reshifting the narrative to be about her mistake. Her lashing out, unprovoked (choke on a sombrero, William). We never acknowledge Finn's cruelty. Hell, we never even acknowledge her bullying! Something that could have been really fucking great to address! The greatest disservice IKAG does to the story itself, beyond decentering the actual lesbian in the story of her own coming out, is that it retcons Mash Off. Finn's speech, as you and I have rambled on about before, is cold and calculated and anything but accidentally slipping up, blinded by anger. It's chilling and honestly just stomach-turning how calm he is. He wanted to hurt her and hurt her in the most insidious way he knew how.
But because he suddenly cares about her in IKAG (by blackmailing her????) and because the story paints him as this understanding guy who only wants the best for her, because we actually have a fucking line about how it's Salazar's ad that's forcing Santana to deal with this, not Finn, people forget. And it really is subtle enough that they can alter your view of the previous fucking episode. If you don't care for Santana's story and are willing to buy the Finn hero narrative, that is. Turns out, a frightening number of people are just like that.
You're so right, these are just the facts. There's no interpretation of the hallway scene in which it wasn't a calculated move to attack Santana through her sexuality. I legit believe the writers realized Finn came off a little too badly in Mash Off and did the Glee thing by pretending it never happened that way. They did such a good job people still buy this shit a decade later. Disgusting.
*And on the note of why and how Finn did it, I'd argue that it literally does not matter, so people who were tricked into misremembering The Outing itself still suck for even entertaining the thought that Santana could have possibly deserved that. Under no circumstances would Finn be in any way justified in what he said, how he said it, where he said it. Santana could be the biggest bitch in the universe, she could say every cruel thing ever, she could be so horrendous to him no one could possibly forgive her. And she still wouldn't deserve to be dragged about her sexuality, called a coward for being in the closet in a conservative small town, attacked about her relationship with Brittany. Finn had no right even if I think the insults were way out of line. The retaliation is so incredibly disproportionate and only something someone like him, a privileged ass who never unlearnt his homophobia could do.
AND THEN, IKAG has the fucking audacity to rob Santana of even that. Of being pissed off at Finn for what he did. She can't even have her anger, ffs, in this disgraceful episode of television because the story warps what really happened and paints the guy who outed her as the hero who wants her to be safe. Not because she's a human being deserving of decency, mind, but because he slept with her once and that makes her special. I. Could. Vomit. All over Flopson's stupid face. Sorry that's graphic lol but my rage knows no bounds.

Listen, I’m a Christian BECAUSE of all the evidence for it. :) I’ve done SO MUCH research, read TONS of books, studied lots of scholars, and analyzed history, philosophy, science, etc. I believe Christianity makes the most sense from an INTELLECTUAL perspective and can fully co-exist with science (for example, I believe in theistic evolution, which Francis Collins- one of the top scientists in the world- also does). I don't have blind faith. I can outdebate ANYONE on an intellectual level. All of you throwing smug atheistic talking points at me as gotcha points as if I haven't literally heard it all. But I obviously can't convince you to believe over an anon (in the same way you can't convince me to be an atheist by saying “anon, it’s all made up”). But that's not the point. This is about Byler. Everyday, in the hallways of my school, and on apps like Tumblr, Twitter, and TikTok, I see people obsessing over something that should grieve people's consciences. It's really sad actually, but I can't expect you to see things from a spiritual point of view since you're currently dead in your sins :)
But let’s say hypothetically, for the sake of argument, you DID believe in God wholeheartedly, and you WERE convinced the Bible is true. (Look, no one becomes Christian BECAUSE they’re mega excited about God’s disapproval of homosexuality. It’s an inconvenient truth to swallow. That's why one’s a “bigot” for not being able to endorse homosexuality. No one WANTS to disagree with homosexuality. No one WANTS to believe their nice lesbian classmate is sinning for simply kissing her girlfriend. That's unfair, right? Why CAN'T love be love? This is a SUPER unpopular conviction to have in 2022. People get saved and then are faced with something kinda upsetting, kinda sad, something that goes against their Western sensibilities). :)
Hypothetically, if you already were fully convinced of the veracity of the Bible for other reasons, you wouldn’t be able to jut discard these controversial passages without SEVERE mental gymnastics, and progressive theology (theology is supposed to convict us, not make us feel good). :) And hypothetically, for the sake of argument, say you were also a Stranger Things superfan seeing Byler gaining these insane levels of popularity within the fandom. This fandom used to be all about Mileven but now it is being corrupted by something that tastes sweet but is actually ultimately a societal POISON. :)
What would you do in this scenario? Byler is a severe ethical dilemma for that reason. You know gay ships are INHERENTLY invalid. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, Mileven wasn't the superior ship and you guys actually had a case for your ship (You don't. Finn wouldn't want the character he's worked on so hard to suddenly be gay because there'd be no basis for it and it would be weird). But let's say you were tempted to support it (I am not, but let's just say). You wouldn't be able to “just accept it” without it upending your ENTIRE belief system. :) You'd have three "choices," don't you? Reject God entirely and accept Byler, compromise your faith by downplaying the sins he died for, or stand up boldly to Byler and say, “No! This is wrong!” And if you know the Bible is the Word of God, in this hypothetical scenario, the first two "choices" aren't really choices, are they? After all, the path to hell is paved with good intentions :)
Your full of shit.
Your just wasting your own time at this point and it’s fucking pathetic.

Hello dear!
Here comes the rant😆
What a heck I just read? FB for sure made some strange choices.
First of all - why we should twist with new boys? Mc should be sent home - like there literally was a text "if you single - you'd be dumped". Our theory about Finn and Kat twisting if MC single had much more sense!
Secondly. Suresh, dude, are you for real? Still playing games instead of showing everyone were you stand. And Lulu seems really sweet, how dare he to use her like that? I mean it was obvious she's his safe choice to stay but FB making him such an asshole? Why he didn't tell her "I can bring you but that'll be friendship couple cuz I only want MC"? For someone who's talking"i care about you, MC" he's definitely makes her life much more complicated!
Gabi. I tried to be civil, all right? Why she suddenly thinks she has to show how important she was for Suresh? He's literally told you "it wasn't anything serious for me" and your answer "I think it's a lie"?? Piss off, woman! You've been a rebound, a replacement of a real girlfriend. And your wants won't change the reality.
Alfie. Dude, why are you still trying talk to MC when she made it clear that you are friends, nothing more?? My MC even told you to couple up with Meera and was ready to go home. And now you bringing Meera back and all she's doing - making a show "we're such a power couple" and glaring at MC even though my MC has been telling "you are great together!" Arlo #2 much?? And now I read that she wants to dump MC?? Not cool. MC isn't to blame if you not confident enough in your couple, stop being a bitch!
My poor MC doesn't have any girlfriends on this circus! Please Lulu, you are the last hope for a true friendship!
Finn. Weeell. You giving me Noah vibes with your uncertainty. I have a feeling he fancies MC more then Kat but Kat is an easy option, you know? it's like under all his flirting and bravado he's not confident enough in himself to be with someone so gorgeous and cool like MC. I mean - dude literally said "you are out of my league" to MC...🤔 But maybe it's wishful thinking 😃
And Nicolas... OMG, he's just male version of Kat! I knew there was something about him and playing the game but damn! My girl had enough drama in her life and doesn't need more. I don't fancy men who loves stirring the pot... Now I have even more doubts about him. I don't see him in solid couple with a girl if she's serious and not in all this drama/playing games. But he's definitely a good option make Suresh jealous 😆
Welp... At this point I don't even mind taking money and never seeing those people again 😆 but we'll see new islanders. Maybe FB will give us a dependable guy (maybe an old friend of MC who's always been in love with her and hated Suresh for hurting his favourite girl??)
First - YES!! This made NO SENSE the text said single islanders would be DUMPED and then wait NOT U MC! ur special! No we're not! U literally drag us through the mug every fucking episode
Second- babe thats not suresh...idk who that is but its not him. because the man that said all that stuff to us before he left for casa wouldnt be choosing grandma Lulu who he literally has no spark with over us.
Third - Gabi doesnt seem to understand that one sided relationships exist. One person can like another person more than the other. Sorry babe but this happens more often than not...just because he was around doesnt mean he was around.
Fourth - I personally didnt get the vibe that he was trying it on MC I got more friend vibes from him, but maybe that's how I played it. Meera was being such a bitch that I can't wait for me to not go home next week, but to rub it in her face that her bestie is tho
Fifth - I low-key loved Noah 2.0 and If I find out something shady happened between Gabi/Suresh on that terrace rooftop im jumping ship to Finn so fucking fast.
sixth - idk im getting the ick from Nicolas 🫣 hes too much with the gossip and drama he seems more into that than MC. and saying he needed to fake their connection 🙄 thats a no for me dog.
im staying on the suresh route until it becomes even more obvious that there is none left and then will be jumping ship to Finn.

Howling Love - Chapter 12
Tumblr media
*Warning Adult Content*
Amille Laurent
[You won't believe what just happened] I announced with my cell-phone to Max as we were by the bleachers waiting on my cousins and Camryn to finish training.
"You seem pretty excited about it for sure, did Carymn finally kiss you?" she asked excitedly and I looked at her flatly.
[Get your head out of the gutter Max, I'm actually serious here and no he didn't kiss me] I signed and she seemed to deflate.
I wondered what was up with her and my family expecting Camryn to kiss me or do something along those lines.
I personally didn't think we were there yet.
[I was going to tell you about the pack wolves, in all my classes, there is this guy... Vincent. He bumped into me first period and tried to pretend it wasn't on purpose, everyone saw it and guess what?] I narrated earning Max's full attention when I paused an anger seemed to be brewing in her eyes.
"Yeah, not guessing, what happened?" she demanded and I looked at her flatly again.
[You're no fun, anyway, that guy Finn and the others all stood up and protected me, sort of. They really looked out of me. It was weird, my dad and I are some what part of the pack but I didn't know they would stand up for me like that] I explained and Max's brewing anger was still apparent also a relief in her features too.
I had learned to pick up on emotions with people's non verbal gestures and features.
It helped when you couldn't ask them directly about it.
"Wow, they did that. I'm sure it's because of Camryn. Everyone literally sees you two together all the time. Most of it arguing like an old couple, it's adorable and also because the Beta of the pack is your uncle, no one in their right senses would want to cross Beta Kyra, he's scary but I think most of all, they protected you just because you're you,not your disability don't even get me wrong but you're just fun, you talk to everyone, you help everyone, you're literally sunshine with curls and most of all, you aren't scared of wolves, you actually like being tossed around in between them," she explained and I cringed at the last part but her reasons made incredible sense, I was glad.
"No need to worry Amille, plus most of all whenever you see a wolf even if its an awkward situation, you always offer something sweet, like those boxed cupcakes you ordered for the team because you wanted them to have energy, you could've literally bought them energy drinks or nothing, they're wolves," she signed the last part with a laugh and I couldn't help smile.
[Sugar is better Max, sugar is better] I signed back as she came closer and we hugged whilst giggling.
"Sugar is better then but don't let Vincent get to you, focus on living your best life, okay?" she asserted and I nodded with a smile parting from our hug, I was happy to have Max reassure me that I was okay, to have the pack be there for me, most of all, my friends, my cousins and Camryn.
"Hey short-stack. You two okay?" Camryn suddenly asked as he stood just below us, how he was suddenly there surprised me.
[Positively] I signed back and that wide smile warmed my heart.
"Come on, it's just you and me today, apparently Orlando and Max, even Dean have a thing to do, they're being super secretive," he exclaimed and I couldn't help be amused, he was pouting again.
[Don't worry, we can have our own super secretive thing too] I replied him with my phone and he nodded happily with a smugness that made him cute, despite his size.
"See you later you two," Max called out as I held Camryn's hand whilst we walked to the entrance.
[Tell her to be careful] I signed telling Camryn.
"Maxine be careful," he called out and looked at me like a puppy waiting for a reward because of an accomplished task.
[You did well] I told him patting his cheeks and running my fingers through his hair.
"Come on," he muttered before grabbing my whole body tossing me onto his back.
[What is wrong with you] I typed and let my phone screech loudly.
"Everything we both know that. Now hold on or you'll fall," he chided and I nodded placing my head on his shoulder.
What surprised me was how he could carry all our stuff plus his heavy lacrosse equipment, I could barely drag it on the floor.
"Choco-moose, what do you think about us?" he suddenly questioned as we were by his car.
I remained silent as he packed everything into the back even after he secured my belt in the car next to him.
I was still in shock, Camryn had ambushed me with that question, of course I had an answer but with everything he didn't know about our fathers, it didn't feel right.
Yet, I wanted to tell him so badly.
[Hotdogs at Ford, ice cream at my favourite spot, a few snacks in between then we drive to your spot with all of it because I think we need to have this conversation without interruption] I typed and he nodded without argument.
My mind wasn't on a tail spin anymore but I was looking for where to start, how to explain and put everything into a perspective Camryn wouldn't be torn by.
As he got out of the car to buy everything, I checked my bag for my extra tablet.
It had power, same with my phone and luckily Camryn hadn't taken out the blanket we used last time we were at our hangout spot near the cliff, it gave you a clear view of the city and the setting sun.
Once he was done buying everything, we were on our way, I wasn't ready to lay all my cards on the table but I wanted it now more than ever, to have direction.
We could keep up the flirting, the hand holding, all the antics we pulled but eventually we needed to be on the same page, know which direction we were going in.
"We're here choco-swirl," he announced as he unbuckled me and held a hand out for me to get out of the car, as gentle as always.
Once we were seated by the blanket I patted the space next to me and as he sat down I leaned on him, his ridiculously large bicep draped over me protectively.
[I've never had someone I truly wanted. I was always reserved, always waiting for the other shoe to drop so that I had a reason not to go forward with telling anyone how I felt about them and being like myself, it made it harder, of course genuine guys were there but I never went forward, I guess in a way I was waiting, for that one, who knew me without being told or guided toward a conclusion, who opted to ask me directly rather than ask other people about how I felt, Camryn, I want you in my life, I want you by my side when I stop dreaming, I want to be like this for however long that we get, even forever] I finally told him, though it was through my tablet I told him.
"I'm not gonna drop the L' word on you just yet despite my wolf and I being in agreement, you make me feel happy Amille, my wolf complete and I doubt anyone else will ever make me feel this way, I want you too, I want to tease you, make you blush, have you argue with me about stupid things, and most of all hold your hand in both our good and bad, so working toward that, would you like to go on an actual date with me when we go on that road trip, I already asked your dad for permission," he stated and I turned to look up at him with stars in my eyes, for so long I had wanted this and hadn't even realized it but here in the right now, it was there and real, so I nodded vigorously.
[Yeah, I would very much like that] I responded and he chuckled holding me closer.
A silent, I love you, passing in between us.
[Camryn there is something you have to know, about our dads.]
It was now or never, I waited for him to respond.
"Whatever it is, it can wait, this moment is ours, plus the ice cream might just melt," he declared and I nodded.
In as much as I wanted to argue that, he was right, despite the messiness of our lives, this was our moment and all I wanted was to just be in it.
"I've got you short-stack and I'm not letting go," he whispered and I blushed hiding behind chocolate ice cream.
