Friday I’m In Love
A/N: So jokes on me because I didn't expect to love Eddie Munson this much. @allaboardthereadingrailroad​ told me he was going to be the it girl of this season and I said absolutely not. 
Warnings: Smut, lots of it. Drug use. Judgemental teenage girls
Parings: Eddie Munson x Plus Size Reader
Summary: Eddie invites you to his show, and holy shit. You show up. 
Tumblr media
“Remind me why the hell were here again?” 
You’d never been to The Hideout, a shitty hole in the wall off the highway outside of  town. You’ve driven by it like, a thousand times and never once had the urge to go inside. Now, as you stand next to your friend, Shelly’s, mom’s Subaru in the half empty parking lot your nerves are going haywire, over eager to walk through the doors. 
“Because, we were invited”  you answer simply. Duh. Sweeping more glittery lip gloss on and fluffing your hair before adding “plus it’s not like we had anything else to do” 
“We could literally be doing anything else then this- isn't Clair throwing a party tonight?” 
“Yeah, but all her parties are always like, major depressing. Ever since Heather you know”-you  make a gurgling choking sound and cross your eyes “Its like, why do we have to do a toast to the dead girl, every party. I get once- but it feels redundant” 
You get it. Claire and Heather were best friends. You’re also not in the mood to go hold her hand while she cries about it. Again. 
Also, Heather had put gum in your third grade. So- 
“For one- you're a horrible person” Shelly accuses, shaking her overly curly head “For two, we could’ve gone to the movies or something” 
“You think the theaters boring, plus like. Won't it be fun to try something new? Come on” you grab her hand and pull her along behind you. Sparing one last glace at the familiar van, parked idle towards the front of the lot. 
“So like, this has nothing to do with you and weirdo Munson, right?” 
“Right- and its funny the way that you only think he’s weird after he sells you weed. Asshole” 
Well- its not like you we’re expecting anything fancy from the Hideout. No expectations, no disappointment, right? The bar is the textbook definition of a dive.The lingering smell of stale beer hits you straight in the face as you walk in. Seedy lighting that makes everything look shadowy and almost green-
“Oh look! They have pool tables!” you point out because that could be fun. Maybe?
“Oh great” She replies, voice fasle sugar sweet before dropping “I want to leave” 
“Shh” you elbow her, hard. “We just got here. Play nice” 
And she does, for the most part. Sit down at one of the sticky tables with you. Avoids the looks of the bar's patrons- older. Wasted. White trash, for sure. You wouldn't talk to them, not ever but like. Whatever. You can just ignore them. That’s easy enough. 
Especially when they get on stage. The Dark Wizards, Eddie at the lead. Even though he's not singing, even though he’s off to the side with that bright cherry red guitar of his. He’s the star. 
“We’re the Dark Wizards, and we’re about to rock your mortal world” 
You don't know when this…thing you had for Eddie developed. Somewhere between smoke laced conversations and late nights glued to your phone, him fighting the shitty static of his own line to talk until one of you called uncle, the thing had taken a life of its own. 
He’s odd. Yeah. But no other guy has ever been this nice to you. Eddies odd, but he’s not cruel. He’s not like the asshole jocks or elitist math nerds. He’s not even like the rest of his leather clad D&D playing posse. 
You wish you could get everyone else to see that. Get your friends to see that. 
The singer is trash, the drummer can't keep a beat to save his life, but the guitar riffs are melodic. Smooth and sharp, and your heart catches the tune and beats in time. Blood flow slowing and stopping until your all but hypnotized. 
You clap and cheer and cant manage to tear your eyes away until the final note plays, their set is over-
“Oh my god, you're so into him” the statement is disgusted, mostly. Fascinated. Your friend looks at you like she's watching a car crash- violent and bloody, but she can't take her eyes off of it. 
You just shrug because like. Yeah. Obviously.
“Oh fuck no” she groans, face palming hard. 
Eddie hurries out from behind the stage, which is really just their supply room. Grinning from ear to ear, beaming arms spread out wide. “Look who came!” 
“You invited me, I told you I’d come” You try to contain it, but you're giddy. Even more so when he throws a gangly arm around your shoulder. “It’s no biggie” 
“No biggie? You came all the way out here to see little ol me. Huge biggie, my friend. Huge” He holds his heart with his other hand dramatically- 
Always so dramatic. Always so enamoring. 
“You deserve a drink. A real one, what is this?” He dips his pinky into your friend's drink and her nose scrunches up something fierce and offended “Sprite? Nah, that's a peasant drink. Bartender kind sir- pour us something strong. And…fruity” 
The bartender, who looks like an Ex-con, actually makes a mean Mojito. 
------------
“It’s totes okay, I’ll call you when I get home, yeah?” 
You're in the parking lot, again. Except for you're not leaving in the car that you came in. 
Shelly’s tucked into the Subaru, staring out at you with all knowing eyes. 
He’s just going to drop me off at home. 
Uh Huh. 
Seriously. 
“Yeah whatever you better call me later- I want all the dirty details. Use protection- bye” she waves before her tires screech, hauling ass away from the Hideout. You flip her the bird all the way. 
“Okay let's blow this popsicle stand” you plop into the passenger side of the beat up old van, bouncing along as you go. Glad for the low cut blouse you’d donned because Eddie's eyes follow your chest, comically, animatedly. Up and down. 
“Whatever you say, mi’lady. Your house?”
“I mean- I don't have a curfew or anything on the weekend- we could go somewhere else. If you want to?”
Eddie looks pensive, lips pursed, before a light bulb goes off in his head. 
“Want to go to the end of the earth with me?” He questions as he reverses, and well. How can you say no to that offer? 
-----
The cliffs of Sattlers Quarry are jagged and high. Eddie parks too close to the edge- takes you out. Holds your hand tight as you screech, not being able to look over for more than a second. 
“Its okay,” Eddie chuckles, herding you into the open back of the van. “I come here all the time, were all good Y/L/N.”  
The seats are ripped out, posters of dragons and bare tittied ladies plastered on the metal walls. Black Sabbath plays lowly from the crappy speakers and he lays an armful of threadbare blanket down for cushioning, for the two of you to curl up on. 
You cling to him just to do it. Keep close as he rolls the cleanest joint you’ve ever seen. Spark and smoke and laugh- all attached to hip. He talks about Tolkien as fluidly as he does Karl Marx, he likes pineapple on pizza and was born the day before Valentines. Cats are superior to dogs, and he like lives off of peanut butter crunch cereal. 
His dad split when he was in eight grade and living with his Uncles not so bad, really. It’s kind of like rooming with a chill homie, but definitely nothing like having a real parent. 
“I'm boring you aren't I? Just tell me to stop, and I’ll zip my lips. Locked. Key is thrown, right off that cliff” He makes the motions, zip. Key, tossed and you lean your face into his jean clad shoulder. 
“Mmm, no. I like listening to you talk” its not a lie, not the usual shit you blow up guys ass. Everything out of Eddie’s mouth is unexpected, he tells stories with words. Vivid pictures, film on a loop. With your lungs burning and THC running through your system it's even better. 
“I like you. In general” Eddie whispers, and you hide your face even more. He shrugs you away though, turning. Face to face, no way to run from his dark eyes “I like your eyes” he leans in, and you think finally he’s gong to kiss you. Instead he gets close enough. Blinks fluttery fast, his lashes against yours. Butterfly kisses
You shake your head, cheeks burning, chest tight. 
“And your hair? I really like that- even if it is better than mine which is rude. And don't even get me started on your perfume because that? That’s my favorite. And your-” 
You slap a hand over his mouth pushing until he gives way. Until your on top thick thighs caging his waist “Stop it, jeeze I lied. I hate your voice, shuddap!” 
He makes a few muffled attempts, squirming a bit before giving up.  Going lax, bringing his hands behind his head and looking at you with dark eyes that shine and sparkle. He's enjoying this, and the long languid lick he gives to your hand shouldn't feel as good as it does. 
You like Eddie, like the way he feels. You like the way he lets you be who you want to be, do what you want to do. Other guys would’ve thrown you off, too heavy. Too dominant. They didnt want to play, but Eddie. Eddie’s wanted to play with you since you hit that doobie behind the gym. 
You unbutton your blouse slowly, letting him watch you. He can have it. All of it. Everything. You unhook your bra and those dark eyes go wide. 
“This okay?” you ask, taking your hand off of his mouth, resting on his shoulder. 
He nods, quick, adam's apple bobbing “Are you even asking me that right now? Yes, fuck yes I am a-okay. The best, really-” 
The kiss you cut him off with is messy, too much tongue. Too much want. Why had you wanted this long? Maybe it should’ve have been more romantic- but then again maybe it is? It’s own version of romance, its own courting and dating and being cared for. 
Eddies hands are everywhere, eager and exploring and its almost funny until he thumb brushes over your nipple, just on the right side of rough, making you  gasp sharp into his mouth, and grind down onto his hard lap in tight circles. Eddie pulls away, just barley. Dragging his slick mouth acros your jaw, down your chest, your hands fist tight his hair as he runs the flat of his tongue along the nub. 
It feels too good, mind numbing. Base instinct, two teenagers and in a fogged up car. Breathing eachothers air, tasting each other spit. Fumbly and needy, too fast. 
Struggling out of your clothes, you wiggle out of your tight acid washed jeans as Eddie shed’s layer after layer- Hell Fire Club Tee, Leather Jacket, Denim vest. The floor of his van littered. You’re tugging on your pink panties when he blankets himself over you, pushing you back down. The blankets rough on your bare skin. 
Eddie’s a weirdo, not a virgin. And most importantly, he’s good with his hands. The long ring donned fingers work magic. The real life kind that gets your back arching and has sounds that would embarrass you to think about later clawing their way from your throat. Feels almost too good as he rests his forehead against yours, noses bumping as he pounds his fingers in and out of you. 
He likes it, watching you squirm, watching your hips shift every time he tries to pull his hand away. 
He keeps condoms in the glove box, mostly for show. Hope. The off chance that some girl gives him a chance and wants to hook up- once in a blue moon shit. He’s glad for them now, even if it means pulling away from a whining writhing you
When he slides back between your thighs it's a heady feeling. He’s almost vibrating, shaking out of his skin, nervous excitement making him clumsy. He  misses. Doesnt slide into you easily, the two of you shifting and giggling, gasping and nosing at one and other until. 
Oh. 
There. 
The inhale you take is shaky and sharp and Eddie groans and buries his head in your neck. Breathing in your sweet perfume as his hips begin to pump. 
“O-oh my god. Eddie-” You stutter, holding on to his shoulders. He’s not the thickest guy you’ve been with, but his dicks long. Longer then average forsure. Jabbing at that place inside you, pleasure pain bursting behind your eyelids and you cling to his shoulders. There's no real pace, not from the nineteen year old, but the friction of sweaty bodies feels good, the rocking rhythmic and almost peaceful as you stare up at the van’s ceiling. You like it, the way he moans, the way he tells you how it feels- he really doesn't ever shut up. 
Its quick, you’re young and Eddie’s never been with anyone who feels so tight. You can tell when he’s close, when he speeds up to nothing more then a dirty, desperate grind. When his whole body goes taught and his arms tighten around your waist, holding onto you as he rides it out. As he shakes and shudders, needing the grounding. You hold him in the cradle of your thighs. 
He pulls out with a hiss and slumps, heavy and boneless on to you and you stroke his back, trail your fingers across his shoulders soothingly. It felt good the minutes that go by in overexerted bliss. It wasnt like you weren't used to not getting yours. Guys just had a one track mind, right? No big deal, you’ll handle it when you get home- 
Eddie's head perks up from your chest. Almost like he could read your mind, Isnt that one of his D&D elf powers or whatever?
His animated, recovered enough to have regained that mischievous look. He waggles his tongue, vulgar and pushing corny
 “Your turn, mi’lady”

Tumblr media
It had been a couple of weeks and Amanda had finally settled into the Dagger Squad and San Diego and met the rest of the ‘Chaos Squad’ and the Daggers’ Aviator Mamas, Rachael Dragon Kazansky and Jade Whiskey Kerner.
Birdie met Whiskey when one day after Bird had just got home from walking Ozzy. Mickey and Baylie forgot that they had a guest and were being loud in the bedroom.
She didn’t stay long after the loud moans could be heard around the house.
So, with wanting to get away and let the newly-weds have their alonetime Bird went to the library. She was in the romance books when she literally ran into Commander Jade Whiskey Kerner.
“I’m so sorry Commander, I didn’t mean to run into you.” she rushed as she moved aside.
The older woman just laughed and they both sat down together and talked for hours until Bay called and asked where she’d gone.
Bird had gotten to know the other squad members and formed a good bond with all of them. Bo and her started to mend the relationship slowly but surely.
We were laughing and joking every once in a while and Bird started to call him Bo instead of Robert again here and there, which she could tell made his smile wider if possible.
She wanted to be able to trust him full-heartily, but he betrayed that in Lemoore and it would take work and effort on both sides to see this be mended to what it was.
Bird was willing and she could tell he was too, but how long will it last before he loses his temper or decides that he can’t go through it again.
They were on a team now and from what she’s been told, Bay and Mickey were on the Uranium mission and are better than ever, so why did he push her away?
Robert and her could be half way done with the wedding planning by now, she could’ve sent the ‘Save The Date’ cards to their families and friends and she’d have her dress already.
She’d have a dress, a wedding dress that would take his breath away and make him cry from Birdie’s beauty and her father would walk her down the aisle, tears in his eyes as he gives his only daughter to the man she loved.
Hailey and Heather would be Maid of Honor and a Bride’s Maid, standing by her side as Bo and her said their vows and exchanged rings.
Bird had this imagine in her mind since she said “Yes!” all those months ago when everything was happy and great.  
After the first week of being in the Dagger Squad and already tired of Hangman and Rooster’s constant bitching and competitiveness, Birdie went to the closest Walmart and bought a Disney Princess kids’ dress up set.
The next day, Birdie went onto base and put the tiara in her locker and as soon as either of the boys started to bitch about who was the best of the group.
She asked for them to wait as she grabbed it and hid the plastic crown behind her back as she walked back in.
When she revealed the tiara, everyone was confused, but the looks on their faces quickly turned into smiles and laughter as Bird placed it on Roos’ head and said, “You have been crowned the Bitch of the Day. As you see fit My Majesty.” and bowed.  
All the aviators, except Bob, took turns slamming their hands and fists onto the top of her helmet.
Most of them were nice, but Baylie was the most ruthless, always making sure that Birdie could feel the vibrations through the helmet.
Birdie new that once Bo got comfortable again, he’d be the nicest one, but until then, Mickey was.
Fanboy saw her as a little sister and always made sure that Bird was treated nicely when he was around.
After a month of being a guest in the Garcia’s house, seeing, learning, and hearing things that new friends shouldn’t, Birdie had put in a request for a on-base house and is currently waiting for an opening.
She had been to the Hard Deck and met Penny, Amelia, and Grace, but preferred to be called her honorary callsign; Spicy.
The girls of the Dagger Squad, Grace and Alana, and Rachael and Jade became a squad of their own, known around the base and off as the Chaos Squad.
This little grouping of chaotic women didn’t help Bird’s nonexistent relationship with Cyclone, especially after meeting with his wife, Robyn Venom Simpson.
She also had been introduced to Roos’ step-mother, Grace O’Mally Bradshaw. Both women were lovely and so much fun to be around.
Birdie didn’t want the six months to go by too quickly so she had enough time to really get to know the group and form a tight friendship with each of them.
She was going to be sad when the time period was up and she was deployed to another base, but this is what she signed up for years ago.
Bird just wanted to mend one relationship when she first arrived and now was lucky enough to walk away with more friendships than she though she would.
She also would walk away with a family. A father and mother, aunt and uncle, sisters and brothers that will always be in her life no matter what.
Even if Bo and her don't bury the hatchet, the others have told her so many times when she’d voiced her concern over the subject.
Ozzy was happier too, he had more people to love and care for him now and was loving every bit of attention that the others were giving him.
It had been more than once that Ozzy had kicked Mickey out of the bed so he could snuggle Baylie.
Bird knew when Ozzy was with Bay when Mickey is getting comfy on the couch, she’d always offer to get Oz and he could be with his wife.
He always waved her off and said that Bay’s been wanting a dog for a while and if this is keeping her mind off of one for them, he’d happily give up his bed.
We were also briefed on another upcoming mission and the team started training and had been doing good.
There was more time to complete the training this time too, which Birdie was thankful for, she’d just joined the squad.
It was crazy to think that these few weeks together had felt like a lifetime already and Bird wouldn’t change anything if it meant that she’d never met them.
Don’t get her wrong, Bird was beyond sad when Bo broke her heart, but it kinda feels worth it now.
Because without that lost, she wouldn’t have gained a family, a very chaotic family, but one none the less.
Bird felt as if she was home. Bo helped with that, he had been her home for four years prior and Bird couldn’t stop thinking as him as that.
Robert Floyd has had her heart since that day on the trail for training in bootcamp and he gave Birdie that rock after telling her that he would keep the little mushroom she had picked just for him.
Bird knows that it's stupid to say that was the moment he took her heart, over a silly little thing as a mushroom, but it was.
Bo took the little fungus and while others would’ve thrown it over their shoulders when I wasn’t looking, he kept it, and later in the recreational room, he gifted me a rock.
Even if he didn’t realize it, he spoke my love language, sentimental gifts that make no sense to anyone else but us.
I was grateful to have a friend that finally understood me and embraced my quirks.
Not that Athena didn’t, she did, but she got tired of it sometimes.
Bird doesn’t blame her though, having a neurodivergent friend can be exhausting when they have hyper-activity and can’t focus on anything and everything most days.
Bo took the randomness of me as if it was an exciting adventure and had the patience of a Saint to wait for me when it was harder to keep on tasks.
He was considerate when I said I was overwhelmed and noticed the signs when I was too scared of ruining his night by leaving early.
Bo never got upset or argued, he’d just say an excuse for us to leave and then we’re in his car and going home.
Bird’s family never really got why she had a harder time on some of the subjects at school, but after a teacher had spotted the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD, she recomended that Birdie gets tested.
When the results came back positive and they started her on some medication to help, her grades went up and she was focusing better on tasks, but her family still sometimes treated her as before.
The family she had in San Diego though, they understood and also took the time to help her, just like they do for Mouse.
The squads watch for certain behaviors and try to soothe the others’ emotions.
Just like when Roos noticed Bird was nervous and overwhelmed before flying on her first day back at Top Gun and knew that she needed to do a pre-flight ritual.
He was there for Bird even if he didn’t know exactly what she needed.
Amanda finally found a group of friends that understand and are willing to help and she couldn’t be more thankful for them.
Not that she’d let Hangman know that she’s appreciative of him, his egos big enough.
Tumblr media
It had been a month in San Diego when Bird got the phone call from her mother that a friend back home had died, she immediately drew back from the squad.
Baylie and Mickey saw the happy-go-lucky woman turn distant and quiet in the matter of seconds. Bird didn’t waste any time in running to her room and bursting into tears.
They had known each other since they were children. The two women were cousins, best friends, and practically inseparable. Bird had known about Hailey’s depression for years.
No one really took her seriously when she’d lay in bed for days, no energy or motivation to get up and eat and take care of herself.
But Bird did, she took the mental health of others very seriously. As did her parents, especially after what her mother experienced at eighteen.
Jackson, her grandfather, was something that the Wheeler side of the family didn’t talk about and when they did, it wasn’t a lot.
They saw him as a disgrace, for suicide is the highest Sin that one could commit in they eyes of God.
The Wheeler family might not always be the most religious but they do follow His word. From the brief stories that her mother told, Jackson was a mean alcoholic. Everyday he’d drink until he was good and drunk.
That’s how he coped with being depressed, but it was the early 80’s and not a lot of people sought out for help, they turned to drink or drugs or whatever tickled their fancy.  
Bird will never forget the day that her mother had pulled out that damned bullwhip from her Hope Chest and told all three of her children the story of it.
Then after the story was done, Kathleen Hallet took in her children’s faces and said, “If you ever feel like you’re not yourself, please tell your dad or me ok?”
All the siblings nodded their heads as Kathleen tried to make sure they understood what she was talking about. And even as the children grew, Nick and Kat reminded them and gave more encouragement to talk to them if needed.
Birdie was 8 when she was first introduced to her grandfather’s memory and every blue moon she’d learn something new.
She was 17 when she learned that Jackson was his name, had a fraternal twin brother named John, that he liked Lions, and was fortunate enough to be given his old wool jacket and a small lion figurine.
Bird was 20 when she was told that Mamaw and Papaw Wheeler owned a bar and he and his buddies would stay there and drink all day playing cards.
The Hallet siblings might not have had a maternal grandfather, but they did have a maternal great grandpa.
He was a big part of their childhood, he taught all of them life lessons and other important things as they grew.
Birdie was the closest to both her Mamaw and Grandpa Wheeler, always watching old westerns and doing puzzles with them.
It broke her heart when her Great Grandfather died at the age of 96.
The hardest part being that she was in boot camp and couldn’t be excused to attend. Bo was her biggest shoulder to cry on and stayed with her until she wasn’t grieving as much. Heather and Phillip were there for her too when Bo couldn’t.
She didn’t know if she could go through the same thing again, but this time would be different, with someone she actually knew and saw and loved and grew up together.
Hailey was someone that Bird never thought that she’d have to out-live, with her being in the Navy, her life was constantly in danger.
It was beyond hard for her to think of a world where Hailey wasn’t just one phone call away if Bird had a bad day and needed her best friend to talk to or vice versa.
She’d never hear her voice again, never feel her warmth from a hug. What if Bird forgets Hailey’s voice or laugh? What if she hears a song or smell or memory that reminds her of Hailey and starts to cry?
Tumblr media
Bird for weeks would just do nothing but lay in her bed after work, sobbing and cuddling Ozzy until she had cried herself to sleep.
This worried Bay and Mickey, they had no idea what had happened in that phone call and started to fret over their friend’s health.
Mickey begged Bay to let him call Bob, he’d most likely be able to get her to open the door and talk, but Bay would shake her head and take Ozzy for his evening walk.
Every member of the squads came to the Garcia’s shack, talking through the wooden door as they sat on the ground.
Bay and Mickey talked to her the most, about what they did after work, how Ozzy did that day if he wasn’t in her room, and how much they miss seeing her bright and shiny smile.
What they didn’t know, was the hurt she felt in hearing them plead with her to come out. She just didn’t want to smile or do anything knowing that her best friend was gone.
Everything felt numb, lungs heavy and crushed, her friends’ voices sounded as if she was underwater. And all she wanted to do was breathe.
“Hey Angel,” he started breathlessly and searching for the right words, “I know. I got a text from your Ma, she’s worried about you. I am too, you’ve never been like this.”
There was a soft thud on the door where he put his forehead, “You’re the most happiest girl I know and I hate to see you like this. Hailey had been battling with her depression for years and I know that you did everything you could to help her, and you did, help her I mean. It might not seem like it right now, but…”
A long breath escaped his lungs, “You did what you were supposed to do, you were there for her when she needed you most and made sure she knew that you would listen to anything and everything she wanted to say.”
“Then why does it feel like I did nothing,” she whispered, voice scratchy from disuse as Bird laid her forehead against the door where she thought his was.
“Because you think you could’ve done more, could’ve saved her. Angel, babe, without you she probably would’ve lost that battle sooner than later. You showed her that you cared, that she mattered, that she had someone in her corner when it felt like no one else was.”
Birdie sniffled and took her head off of the door and for a minute or two it was completely silent.
“If I open this door, I just want you and Ozzy to come inside. I’m overwhelmed and need my boys. I’ll talk to the squads and Mama and Papa later.”
“If that's what you want Angel, I’ll go get Oz now.”
“Yes please.”
It took a few minutes for Bo to come back, but once he did, he knocked on the door with Ozzy right beside him.
“Thank you Robert.”
“For you, I’d do anything.” and a happy bark followed after by the fur baby sitting on her bed.
Tumblr media
All the members of the squads came over and talked to her through the closed door, all except for Bob.
He didn’t think that he’d have the right to comfort her right now, but after a text message from Birdie’s mama, he quickly understood what he had to do.
“Robert, please tell us our baby is okay?” “Mana’s not doin’ so good. What happened?” “Hailey.”
That one name and Bob knew, how couldn’t he. Robert didn’t tell the others, they had other worries and commitments to attend to.
He had kept it secret for a few days before Bay had finally had enough and cornered him in the hallway. “Robert James Floyd, I know that you know what’s up with Birdie, spill.”
“I can’t, it’s personal.”
“If it’s personal, then we should know so we can help!”
“That’s not how this works ok? You can’t just demand to know what everyone’s going through when it’s not your business, so butt out Baylie.”
Bo pushed through her and continued his way to the hangers where the others were, leaving Lucky stunned and slacked jawed by the balls he showed for calling her out as she stood in the empty hallway.
Maybe it was time that the real Robert showed his face and met the squad, but he’ll save that for another day. His Birdie needs him.
He came over to the Garcia’s little cottage after work and as Hangman walked out of the hallway where Bird’s room was, Bo pushed his way to the guest room.
Robert sat on the floor in silence for a minute or two, trying to come up with a plan to talk to her before he shook his head and started.
He knew that the squads were just down the hall and could listen in anytime they wanted, and would, because Birdie was family now.
Bo kept his voice just above a whisper and forehead glued to the sturdy wood door that was between them. Every answer he gave was unclear to anyone but the two.
The conversation went on for a while before he came back into the livingroom and stopped right in front of Ozzy.  
“Hey Buddy, you miss me?” Bo chirps as he pets Ozzy’s head. Ozzy in return gives him some kisses, making Bo laugh.
“Yeah, I missed you too. Wanna go see your mama, she needs cuddles from her boys.”
Ozzy stretches as he gets up off of the couch and then jumps off and races towards Birdie’s bedroom door. Bo starts to get back up from kneeling position but is stopped by Baylie.
“She lost someone close to her, didn’t she?” Lucky had tears in her eyes at seeing her friend’s pain, just like she felt all those years ago when she lost her childhood friend Katie.
Bo didn’t answer, just nodded and before he turned into the hall, “I hope it’s okay if I stay the night. I don’t wanna leave her alone if I can.”
Bay nodded, “Stay as long as it takes to make Birdie happy again, if she needs anyone to talk to, tell her I’m here and I know her pain right now.”
Robert offered a small smile and continued to Bird’s room, once there Ozzy let out a happy bark as Bob opened the door and Oz jumped onto the bed and curled up next to his Mama’s torso.
Bo laid down next to her aswell, brushing away the new tears before they could fall. “I’ll be with you til the end of the line, Angel.”
she snuggled up to him and put her head on his chest, right above his heart so she could hear the beat and Bo ran his fingers through her knotted hair to calm her down.

Hey I have thoughts, as someone who doesn’t really care for Viggo and found triple cross disappointing: here’s how I think it could’ve been done otherwise. - If throughout the episode they showed snapshots of Viggo and the dragon that saved him, literal snapshots I mean like 2 second clips spread out sporadically across the episode, where in each one we can see him slowly changing and getting closer with the dragon. + when the episode ends, it closes on one final clip that’s a little longer, like 10 seconds maybe that is idk him settling against the dragon that saved him or something, looking at a sunset or alternatively it’s just him patting the skrill, right before he goes off and dies. I think that would’ve been cool.
now you may wonder why I’m suggesting all this, and it’s simply cause I don’t get the deal with viggo and especially not with that episode. It’s probably just personal preference but I don’t see why so many people love him? Idk that might just be me. If you would like, I’d love to hear your thoughts on him and why people like him so much, cause I’m genuinely just confused cause from my corner it seems everyone’s obsessed with him and like. I think he’s cool, and I loved his drive and villainy, but I can’t tell what it is that people cling to him for? Cause I see a lot of people who like to think about it viggo lives/post redemption but again I just don’t see the appeal. I’m really sorry if I come across as negative, it’s not my intention I’m just genuinely confused and would like to hear others’ thoughts. Also I haven’t watched triple cross in several months now so idk my idea would even flow with the episode but it’s cool I think? Here’s just this mess of me rambling words are difficult yknow
Okay, so I agree with what you said about seeing Viggo slowly bonding with that monstrous nightmare. After Dagur's very long and satisfying redemption arc where we see him slowly learn to care for others (starting with Heather and slowly branching out to the other riders and eventually Mala), and eventually learning to respect and even love dragons to the point where he finds himself on the exact opposite side of the conflict that he has been wrapped up in since he was a child.
After all of that, Viggo's redemption arc was just a little underwhelming. I wish it had been dragged out a little longer. The 2 second clips would have been a great way to do that, but I would have liked a whole episode dedicated to Viggo telling Hiccup about what happened to him after Johann trapped him in the cave with a bunch of flashback scenes showing us exactly what happened. And even after that, little moments where we can see Viggo learning and changing in real time.
I love Viggo a lot, and I can definitely think of a few specific mutuals who really love Viggo. I think he really stands out because he's such a good adversary for Hiccup. More than any other villain in the series imo he makes Hiccup think. We see Hiccup suffer some pretty heavy losses, and feel intense grief or anger, all because of Viggo.
This is partially attributed to the fact that the shows have more time to spend on this sort of thing, but I can't see Drago creating this kind of conflict. Maybe Grimmel but most of Grimmel's moves were centered around Toothless and not getting inside Hiccup's head (I feel)
He sorta challenges Hiccup in a way that we haven't seen before or since.
Pair his intense intellect and strategy with the voice and the very composed attitude and he's a lot of fun to watch, especially when he's bouncing off of Hiccup's sarcasm and dry humor.
Given all of this and the fact that he's been shown to be willing to change and adjust his very established worldview based off of his experiences, I just really like him lol

Okay so I finally Finished my few important plots of This episodes including Eric and Daniel. Here we have more Eric and Scott interacting and Daniel finding a new ally in the heroes team.
Previous Episodes:
Saving Private Leechball
Episode 4: Food Fright
Recap:
Chris: “ last time on total drama all stars! It was all about teamwork or lack there of, harsh Courtney…. Awesome! But harsh the challenge an epic leech all battle brought out everyone’s inner psycho especially jo which is why she got flushed. Alejandro, helped Eric to take Scott towards the infermery, showing Eric that his legs aren’t as asleep as he makes it look, forming an alliance which Eric says it’s Alejandro’s one way ticket to flush city when the time was right. But it was an unexpected act of valor that inspired my brilliant switcheroo, now Duncan, and Daniel are heroes, Eric and Courtney are villains and I’m a genius. Oh it’s gonna get nasty, will the villains crush the heroes winning streak? Find out now on Total! Drama! all Stars!”
——————————————————————————————
Right after Jo elimination at the dock of shame
* Eric was sitting at the edge of the dock, he was confused. on one hand, he lost the voting advantage by being in the villains team, meaning he could be voted out if they lost the challenge, the only good thing that Eric can think about this switcheroo is that he can solidify his alliance with Alejandro and maybe get Scott to trust him more*
Scott: “ Eric * he called to Eric as he walked towards him, and sat next to him on the dock* are you OK? You seemed the little out of it what’s going on in that mind of yours”
Eric: “*sighs* well Scott, I might as well telling you my plans were ruined by Chris. I had my game planned out I had the votes advantages on my team and it was going well until Chris came up with that stupid switcheroo sending me to the villains team, don’t get me wrong Scott I’m glad you and I am on the same team because that means I could show you how to do challenge properly so you don’t throw them * Eric jokingly making Scott chuckle* but I will bean easy target, besides, you and Gwen no one else on the villains team likes me Courtney hates me as much as she hates Gwen, Heather and I had never gotten along and Alejandro he and I had been enemy since before total drama before the competition. He broke my trust. I don’t know if we lose the next challenge. The worst that can happen is a three on three votes Heather and Alejandro against me and us against, Heather or Alejandro…. “
Scott’s confessional: “ I never noticed how smart Eric was, I mean I knew he had it in him too plan strategies but I didn’t know he had the whole game figure out and you’ve got to admit he does look kind of cute there. I see him, and I just want to press my lips against his….. but I shouldn’t I need to think of strategy and kissing Eric mess. Everything up will it? “
Eric: “… I should’ve known Chris would have done something like this to ruin everyone’s plans, was so sure that maybe I could’ve taken the heroes Gwen, and you to the merge”
Scott: “ Or you could try making a new plan now you could try to manipulate either Heather and Alejandro into voting with you that way when you help them with goal and they help you with yours. You can just discard them as yesterday’s trash. What do you think Eric?”
Eric: “ that’s actually good idea Scott if I could somehow manipulate one of those two, I could gain one more vote and either Courtney or one of them will be going home and I’d be safe and obviously you”
Scott: “*both get up Eric being more happy* now you’re cooking Eric now how about we go back to the cabin before the others suspect that we’re planning something against them”
Eric: “ yeah, let’s go “
* then it start to drizzle and they were starting to get wet stop for a moment, staring at their eyes, same past trying to play the game tension between them has always been high ever since Eric was the mentor of the toxic rats last season they had an underlying romantic tension just like Alejandro and Heather in world tour*
Scott: “ I like your eyes both of them they are like two chocolate scene on your face”
Eric: “*he chuckles softly * I also like your eyes Scott, they remind me of the ocean”
*two stared for a while, forgetting they were in a competition as they close the gap between each other and both sharing a heartwarming kiss under the rain (like here)*
Eric’s confessional: “ I just want you to know that the kiss was purely strategy. It had nothing to do with the underlying tension between me and Scott. *he was blushing and stuttering as he said that* I can’t believe I just kissed Scott! * start giggling like an excited girl who finally kissed their crush*
Scott’s confessional: “ I kissed Eric, I kissed Eric! I can’t believe it. I wanted to do that since we returned I want to keep things strategical and not let my feelings get in the way of my game, but can you blame me for kissing him he is handsome for a guy *he looks excited like a puppy who just got their treat*”
Eric: “*break the kiss* yeah we should Return And The Like Nothing Happen *blushing*”
Scott: “agreed *also blushing as they walked back to the looser cabin, Scott first and Eric 50 feet’s behind to not make things suspicious.*
——————————————————————————————
With the Villains at the looser cabin (the next day)
*grumbling sounds at the front door of the guys cabin. Eric, Scott and Alejandro wake up as they notice the door open a dark silhouette visible, the three scream as chef is now visible throw a bag at the cabin which was powder gruel*
Scott’s confessional: “ I grew up on powdered gruel! Rich people food has nothing on this stuff. It’s the sawdust that makes it so tasty”
Alejandro: “Disgusting! I bet the girls are not treated this cruelly *courtney screams* I stand corrected”
Eric: “I have eaten gruel in the past maybe it taste good *tries to eat it but runs out and pukes* no… totally not good!”
Eric’s confessional: “this is worst than the time I went camping with my uncle and aunt, they live in Alberta, and they took me camping in the cold! And they made gruel! But at least my uncle made it eatable, this one is gross!”
Scott: “*holding a bucket* you are going to finish your gruel Eric?”
Eric: “nope I just lost my appetite… this taste nothing like the gruel my uncle made. *scott takes a few of the gruel off Kyle and placed it on the bucket, they made quick eye contact and before Scott walked toward the girls side of the cabin*”
Eric’s confessional: “okay don’t judge me! I guess Scott is pretty nice… and handsome… and well he might not smell the best but it adds to his charm *sighs happily before shaking his head* but the kiss last night stays last night. i need to focus on the game!”
Scott’s confessional: “Eric is adorable, and I like the fact he doesn’t shy away from trying non rich people food. He could be a nice partner to bring back home. But right now I need to focus on the game! Game first Eric second!”
*eric sees Courtney and Scott interact and even heard Scott telling that Courtney cleaned up real nice, Eric knew it was about the gruel but still he got a bit jealous*
Eric’s confessional: “Courtney better not pull a Gwen With Scott…. Wait… *ponders for a moment* I want Courtney out… Scott is kind of an ally …. Why don’t I get Scott to try and charm her and then when she is too distracted we vote her off”
——————————————————————————���———
At the spa hotel with the heroes
*Duncan and Daniel were walking to the dinning areas it was dark, as they walked there then suddenly the lights turn on*
Heroes: “Surprise! Welcome to the heroes team Duncan and Daniel! *both Duncan and Daniel give each other odd glances as Zoe gives them both party hats*
Duncan’s confessional: “to all my peeps back home and in Juvie, I am not hero. It must be a trap to gain my trust and then bam! They vote me off. Fat chance of that but I can’t let them know that I know so yeah I ate the cake, it was like eating the happiest day of my life”
Daniel’s confessional: “this is rather… interesting, those lamo heroes welcomed me and Duncan to the team , despite Mike, Zoey and Cameron knowing how evil I was last season! And Sierra probably who has seen every confessional I made last season…. Maybe I could use this…”
Sierra: “Duncan on team hero! The fans will lose it I have to get a photo for my blog *sierra left*”
Daniel: “*walks to Zoey and Mikey* hey guys? Sorry about how I acted last season! I just get a bit, competitive that’s all! I didn’t meant anything I did or said”
Mike: “really? Because you were a bit harsh last time?”
Zoey: “yeah even Jo wasn’t liking your attitude!”
Daniel: “yeah, this year off the competition helped me open my eyes and see that I’m not an entire monster! Maybe we could start fresh! You two, Cameron and me?”
Daniel’s confessional: “time to try to employ my sheep behavior yet again! I was working progress with Gwen! But now I have to start over with a new team… I hate Chris and the switch he made! Also! I can’t actively hurt Scott now!”
Zoey’s confessional: “I don’t really believe Daniel, he is trying to use his good side to try and make Mike, Cameron and me fall for his manipulation! I’m not dumb… but I can play dumb for him. Hey we got to be strategic, it’s not evil if you are not actively trying to hurt them”
Zoey: “sure Daniel we will think about it”
Sam: “let’s sing the welcome song!”
Duncan: “how about let’s not do that?”
Daniel: “I agree with Dun- *sierra screams*
Sierra: “my social media machine! It’s in pieces! Oh hello! Hello! Hello!”
Mike’s confessional: “did I Break her phone? *Mal’s come out to laugh*”
Daniel’s confessional: “should I also work on Sierra? I have my extra phone with me… maybe I should give it to her as a gift and possibly use that as an advantage?”
Mike: “it’s okay Sierra”
Sierra: “it’s not okay! It’s no K. This is how i communicate with my blog readers and where I had my plans and strategies!”
Daniel: “here Sierra you could have my extra phone! *pulls a red phone* I always have this to have my to do list out side the game! But you probably need it *walks to her handing it*”
Sierra: “OMG Daniel! Thank you Thank you! How can I ever repay you?”
Daniel: “no worries Sierra no need to repay!”
Sierra’s confessional: “I don’t know if Daniel is manipulating me or genuinely being nice! But if Eric can do a devil deal with Alejanliar then I’m sure Daniel is capable of doing good.”
——————————————————————————————
Gwen’s confessional: “this is the worst! I just came back to try and make amends with Courtney! Apologizing for stealing Duncan from her! I know I did wrong by doing it and I won’t say anything to defend my horrible deed…. But now she despises me! More than before!”
Courtney’s confessional: “she came back to apologize to me?yeah right! She probably knew I’d overhear but… but how?”
——————————————————————————————
Chris: “disgusting revelations aside, it’s challenge time. Chef didn’t have time to cook team losers breakfast this morning, because he was busy making these. Pancakes! That’s right it’s eating contest time! Each team member gets one minute to scarf up as much pancakey goodness as they can when a hero’s eating time is up they hear this *angelic sounds* and the villains get this *evil sounds* then you just have to race through a nausea-inducing obstacle course.”
Sam: “obstacle course?”
Chris: “it’s a nod to the mad skills course from last season the toughest parts anyway”
Eric’s confessional: “oh yeah this is a huge advantage for me, Mike, Zoey, cam, Sam and Daniel, may have participated in the challenge but they had grandpa glasses and couldn’t see it. I had to actually test run the challenge without them to ensure the safety and let’s say! I actually did it well, Bryan was unfortunate to have to use the glasses, he was hurt that day…”
Chris: “first you’ve got to get past the bouncy butts, they’re a real pain, then it’s on to the wretched rolling pin and a swift kick fork the grape crusher gets you back in line.”
Scott: “that won’t be so hard *Eric covers his mouth to little too late*”
Chris: “really? Huh? I wasn’t gonna add this but since Scott’s not impressed *he presses a button* bring it in! Say hello to my mega, friend. I call it the salad spinner! The perfect end to a barftastic course.”
Mike: “uh… how does it work?”
Chris: “probably painfully… I don’t know we didn’t have time to test it”
Courtney: “nice one Scott, and yes I was being sarcastic ! What? What!?”
Scott: “you are pretty when you mad”
Heather: “Barf! *walks away*”
Eric: “mhm *crosses his arms glaring at courtney*”
Chris: “speaking of which, players have to make it thru the course without hem um, regurgitating, to get back in line and stay in the game but if you puke you’re benched leaving the other players on your team to eat up without your help. Once your pancakes toast just complete the obstacle course one last time to win. Ready! Set! Scarf!” *sierra eats for the heroes*”
Alejandro: “we need a team leader, and I think it should be you”
Eric: “seriously?” Courtney: “what?!” Scott: “what ever”
Heather: “Fine! You go first but you’d better have a big appetite.”
Alejandro: “as you wish *goes to eat*”
Eric: “*pulls Scott to a side away from Courtney* Scott, do we have a game plane if we lose? I mean we are in an alliance after the kiss right?” *his cheeks are read*
Scott: “totally! But you need to either get Alejandro or Heather on your side with that you can vote the other one who isn’t in the alliance,”
Eric: “l yeah…. Scott, you better not betray me! Because I want to vote off Courtney eventually and… I saw how you..*Scott gives Eric a kiss when he thinks no one was looking*”
Scott: “look Eric I know how much you dislike Courtney and I’ll help you get her out. But we need to distract her.”
Eric: “ yeah and you flirting with her might be a way to do that..”
Scott: “then should I keep playin the act without you getting jealous? *eric nods as Scott smiles and returns to Courtney’s side and Eric to heathers side*
Scott’s confessional: “yeah I kissed him because I liked the kiss yesterday. Courtney is pretty don’t get me wrong and I love me a tough girl but… with Eric… it’s different, he is the first guy I’ve ever been attracted too so, right now I want Eric, and I don’t mind acting to be cozying up to Courtney.”
Eric’s confessional: “okay I have Scott on board with my plan… and I’m glad he shut me up with the kiss. I would have gotten jealous if we didn’t talk about it I just hope no one else saw.”
Daniel’s confessional: “this has got to be a night mare, tell me I didn’t see Eric and Scott kissing! This is horrible news! I need to make sure they aren’t getting together!”
——————————————————————————————
Eric: “I could go right after Scott!” *Eric smiled as he crossed his arms*
——————————————————————————————
Daniel: “okay I’m ready for my turn right after Cameron”
——————————————————————————————
Chris: “*laugsh* next!”
Heather: “No fair! He didn’t do the spinner “
Chris: “I’ll allow it his pain was our gain! Which team will finish their barftastic breakfast first find out after the break.”
——————————————————————————————
Chris: “we are back and the vultures are in the lead but for how long!”
Daniel: “okay here I go!*starts eating his pancakes trying to get as much as he could, he tried to give the lead to the heroes*
——————————————————————————————
*eric runs to his pancake as Daniel had to run as his angelic sound played and he ran*
Eric: “okay just gotta eat as much as I can! Lucky I skipped breakfast! *eats from the pancake*
——————————————————————————————
* Daniel was running the obstacle course fealing like he wanted to puke He went through the bouncy butts with no problems and went to the Richard rolling pin as he felt the barf going up his throat. He was trying to hold his vomit as much as he could just as he finished the rolling pins villains sound played meaning that Eric was now trying the obstacle course. Eric went through the bouncy pots in no times flat. It was fast and with the same speed, he managed to reach his younger brother at the end of the ratchet, rolling pins they were now boot, but just as the boot was gonna kick both of them to the side, spinner Daniel barfed on Eric, just when the boot kicked him towards the salad spinner*
Chris: “ like that the villains retake the lead and Daniel is benched so nasty the way he barfed on his brother! Awesome *laughs*”
Eric’s confessional: “ I’m gonna get Daniel back for this”
*eric screams as he takes his turn in the salad spinner until he is out of it without barfing.*
——————————————————————————————
Eric: *walking towards Alejandro “ so, what we talked about yesterday are we an alliance?”
Alejandro: “ I suppose you may not be with the hero but your but could help me take out Heather and you practically have both Gwen and Scott on your side with your boat and their votes. We can vote out.”
Eric: “ yeah and then you can help me vote out, Courtney”
Alejandro: “ that’s right amigo”
——————————————————————————————
*Heather was eating but then Sam tapped Zoey out to try and win for the Heroes so Alejandro tapped Heather out to win, Heather stood next to Eric and turned to him*
Heather: “eric! I know you and I have never been friends but I have a preposition for you”
Eric: “go on Heather”
Heather: “what if you and I make an alliance! I can take you last the final 5 into the final 2”
Eric: “oh? And what do I have to do?”
Heather: “be my sla- my ally and help me vote off Alejerkward”
Eric: “ill think about it Heather”
Eric’s confessional: “I’m not voting for al. He is a better ally than Heather. Even if I despise Al, I’m still Betraying him when the time is right so I don’t worry much about it. He thinks he is using me but he doesn’t know that I know”
——————————————————————————————
*after Eric And Heathers Talk Daisy Alejandro pases Sam In the obstacle course En Something That Alejandro Said Made Sam unleash Jump On Alejandros legs just as the boot kicked them both towards the salad, spinner the final obstacle the one that would decide the winner of the challenge. Everyone cross their fingers, hoping that their team won, just as the sell spinner stop spinning the doors open, and Sam cross towards the exit, and just as he was about to touch the floor, Alejandro grabbed Sam from his underwear giving him a wedgie, insane about losing stinging when he is stung by a bee, making him drop Sam and give the win to the heroes. Sam did a puking expression, but what he did was burp as loud as he could still earning the win for the heroes.*
Eric‘s confessional: “ so now I have to think of who to vote for because yes, I might be in an alliance with Alejandro but right now I don’t have enough votes to send Courtney packing. Yes I can have Scott’s vote and Alejandro or Heather’s but that will just leave three versus three. As much as I hate this, we got to think of someone else to vote off and hopefully it’s not me”
——————————————————————————————
*moments before the elimination ceremony*
Courtney: “ Heather I know I said we would vote off Gwen if we lost but right now my one and only target is Eric. Yes, Gwen did steal my boyfriend, but out of every on our team, Dylan has the social ground. He has more allies in the heroes, and he probably has Gwen in his corner as well meaning his possible merge threat. we get him out now. Gwen can’t herself with him meaning that she has no allies and she can be easily kicked off.”
Heather: “ I agree with you Courtney Eric is a threat but he and I talked and he is willing to join me in an alliance to eliminate Alejandro who is the biggest threat in this island right now so if we get rid of Alejandro then we can get rid of Eric and lastly Gwen. But Eric is gullible, and he is easily tricked us I easily tricked him in total drama action Sierra was also able to trick him and push him off the plane back in Sweden in world tour so let’s just pretend he is my ally and then we crush him”
Courtney: “ fine Heather but he can’t make it past our third elimination ceremony got it”
Heather: ” deal “ * the girls shook hands again and Heather yet again had her fingers crossed*
Heather’s confessional: “ oh please, how gullible Courtney thinks I am. I’ve seen Eric’s interactions since he joined the villains team and obviously he is friends with Gwen since the world tour and Eric has been budding up with Scott. They don’t know this, but I actually saw them walking together last night after Jo’s elimination. So right now Eric has both Gwen and Scott on his side. If I can get Eric to become my ally then I will have the advantage and I can vote off Alejandro I can vote off Courtney and then I do something to Eric Gwen, and then Gwen will be the one going down to flush town.”
——————————————————————————————
Chris: “ listen up campers I have a shocking announcement. Gwen didn’t accidentally on purpose serve an ouchie”
Courtney: “the day is not over yet.”
Chris: “ oh and after reviewing the footage of today’s challenge, and laughing a lot. Turns out didn’t in fact complete the challenge. *everyone gasps*“
Mike: “ but Sam finished the pancake and the obstacle course first”
Chris: “Sam! Would you stand up and turn out your pockets please? * Sam stands up and turns out his pocket, revealing that he had chunks of pancakes in them everyone gasps again*
Sam “I just saves a tiny bit in case I had to go to boney island again. It’s a terrible place! I’m sorry “
Eric: “wait so a hero cheated?! Then he should be in the villains team not me!”
Chris: “The Heroes forfeit Villains Win it!”
Eric: “okay never mind! *cheers along with his team*
Chris: “time to vote someone out heroes!”
——————————————————————————————
Heroes votes:
Cameron: Sam
Daniel: Sam
Duncan: Sam
Mike: Sam
Sam: Sierra
Sierra: Sam
Zoey: Sam
Daniel’s confessional: “ this elimination is so obvious right? Sam was the one who made us forfeit the challenge, so I guess it’s almost unanimous”

Gay People vs. Webcomics: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
This will be a different kind of article thingy. It is Pride Month, so naturally, I feel like I should talk about gay people in webcomics. Yes, I identify as a homosexual (former bisexual) myself, and also gay people have appeared most frequently in these webcomics.
The Good:
Tumblr media
There’s a reason I wanted to save this article for late June, it’s because of Burke. While I sadly doubt we’ll ever see followup on his and Sulfur’s relationship, the little amounts we’ve gotten is somehow better than most of the shit in the mainstream. Burke and Sulfur weren’t in an abusive relationship, but their relationship wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. They disagreed with eachother’s philosophies which is why it didn’t work out, but neither of them carry ill will to this day. I liked Burke before but this whole scene turned him into one of my favourite characters in this comic. Burke starts off as rather generic gay guy, he has a crush on Matt and they never openly admit he’s gay, but overtime he not only becomes the most competent member of Matt’s group, he’s also excellent at calling out other people for their shit, like he did with Carson. It’s sad that someone as out of touch with reality as Albert could write a better gay character than any Hollywood writer ever combined.
Tumblr media
Thankfully Burke is not the token gay of Albertverse, on the Kit n Kay Boodle side of things we have Squinx and Snowicet. Although they’re the only true gay couple we see in Yiffburg, they’re much more mature than rest of Yiffburg’s manchild population. They do get their own arc where they help Dee Muir to overcome her fear of boinkberries. Rereading that arc, they do both have unique personalities, unfortunately it’s ruined by Squinx putting his dick inside Dee Muir at one point but still, these two are way better than rest of the comic, and the only lesbian couples we see in Yiffburg are Bill Blaine’s rats and even then they’re bisexuals and do nothing besides licking each other’s pussies.
Speaking of lesbians, it’s time to discuss the bad stuff.
The Bad:
When it comes to LGBTQ+ rep, Lesbians are overused, not just in the mainstream but also in webcomics, and there’s a reason I’ve been calling them a webcomic cliche since this blog first started. I’m sure there are well-written lesbian characters but I haven’t run into one yet.
Tumblr media
Arguably the most prominent gay couple in this blog are Spinnerette and Mecha Maid, I’ve explained about a hundred times why this couple sucks. Mecha Maid is more of an object for Spinny than a source of affection and it seems Mecha Maid lost all of her personality and ability to criticise Heather after they hooked up permanently. Outside of the times this comic introduces a homophobic villain, this relationship is no big deal. Honestly this couple is the biggest wasted opportunity in this blog’s history, since if Kraw wasn’t a hack we would’ve gotten a really tragic couple whose story we could’ve been invested in. But no, MORE PORN COMICS FEFEFEFEH
Tumblr media
Marilyn here is not the only girl after Spinny’s clit, there’s also Sarah Nicole, after being indoctrinated into the homophobic church, we learn she is secretly a repressing lesbian, and in fact she becomes somewhat of a stalker for Heather. This angle of Sarah Nicole servers nothing besides making her another porn comic fodder character. It really is a shame because Heather’s chemistry is Sarah Nicole is way better than her chemistry with Mecha Maid, it’s one of the ONLY times she was actually likable!
Tumblr media
But moving on from Spinnerette, it’s time to go into another superhero comic. Tsuki is labeled as a lesbian despite being fucking bisexual, and that shows you how much of a moron Dumok is. She treats Kriti as her “girlfriend” but they’re always fighting and arguing, they only bond because of Llew spanking Tsuki or something. There is some attempt at drama as the villain Bittersweet hates lesbians, but her only response to Tsuki being a lesbian is NOOOOOOOO and then she disappears. While Tsuki is one of the worst characters ever, the fetishist treatment of her lesbianity is expected. What I’m saying is, she could be WAY worse, how worse?
The Ugly:
Tumblr media
For a comic that tries to be Mookie’s justice serving Banksy protest piece about the evils of government, sports players, paying customers and Orc Haters, the way it treats the comic’s token gay, Szark, is something right out of homophobe’s playbook. Szark starts as a depraved bisexual, but after his wife who tried to kill him dies, he develops a crush on Deegan. He somehow becomes a ridiculously exaggerated gay guy which is a real shame because his character is otherwise decent. He imagines Luna as a temptress and iirc, he has lewd fantasies about Dominic. But once Dominic pukes, pisses and shits his pants he realizes he no longer loves Dominic. It remains to be seen if he will be improved and become a decent character again, but I doubt it.
Tumblr media
At least Szark’s love was never implied to be non-consensual, that is not the case with Bowser from Roommates, whose first action is harassing the hideous creature that is VeERGHmon and then he finds him masturbating in his room, and rapes him. And that’s how they fall in love. Yeah, even if VeERGHmon is a sleep paralysis demon he doesn’t deserve to get raped. This whole comic feels super homophobic in general, even the homophobes are homophobic! Wait...I mean, the treatment of homophobes is based on homophobic assumptions that every person who hates gay people must be secretly gay, look no further than Olly and Mondo. We see Olly in the main comic as a guy who brings a little bit of bigotry into the world where no women seem to exist, after an intense Rapist vs. Bigot fight the duo leaves, but Mondo has a pretty decent apology scene after the whole incident, which paints the duo as troubled individuals...and then an Addendum arrives which reveals Olly and Mondo were gay all along. I can’t remember why these two became homophobes to begin with but I’m sure the reason didn’t match any semblance of reality and psychology that exists. And the worst thing is these characters were actually written by gay people. I don’t think Spelunker Sal and Dreamous are “internalized homophobes” or whatever that stupid buzzword is, I just think they’re out of touch with reality.
Tumblr media
And yet, YET, YET, these aren’t the bottom of the barrel when it comes to gay characters. For that we must go outside the radius of this blog, and into the horrible world of SuperSaiyanCrash. Yes, Cora Bandicoot should stand out as an example on how to not do a gay character. Cora is a nudist and a molester, she harasses every single woman she comes across, and there was even a cut scene where she gropes a character without the creator’s consent. She claims to be lesbi-err, lesbain, but she also ends up getting impregnated by Goku (Richie’s selfinsert) and thus raises two children, who also end up becoming lesbians. I don’t go “yikes sweetie this is homophobic” that easily, but I feel this character is so offensive the only way she could be more offensive is if she wore a blackface. Cora’s creator is a homophobe who only hated male gay people but liked lesbians because “they were hot”, which perfectly describes the mindset behind most of these characters. They’re stereotypical and presented as overly sexual characters, which has done lasting damage to gay community.
Thankfully I haven’t run into any “zoomer gay” characters, but that might change in the coming years.

Greys anon here again
Ok you do make very fair points ma’am
I agree that mer doesn’t want to be her mom and Cristina pointing that out is what prompted her to start the whole research but I do think that that Cristina could’ve delivered that argument a little differently. I don’t want her to coddle mer but I think some words were a little too much but Cristina has valid points.
I also agree that mer has issues separating work and personal and it bothers me mer has never been the one to make the first move to apologize. In season 5 after that argument it’s Cristina who comforts her after mer goes to Williams execution and had a breakdown that Derek couldn’t stop, so mer never actually took the first step.
In season 10, they have another argument and during the moments before aprils wedding, Cristina approaches mer and tells her that her life is different than mer but it’s just as hard because she’s doing it alone and she at least thought she’d have mer. Cristina is the one to say all of this and mer then confesses her jealousy and the two make amends but I didn’t like how mer didn’t make the first move again.
On the subject of Shane, he starts kissing up to Derek when his new crop of interns arrive at the hospital and he wants to be as talented and flashy as Derek. However, Derek notices a natural talent for neuro in heather brooks and he tells Ross that he’s gonna be focused on mentoring brooks from now on.
Shane is very jealous that brooks is now Derek’s student and in 9x19 he tells her “I know what you’re doing. You may think I’m too nice to do anything about it but you’re wrong. You can try snake neuro out from under me but just so we’re clear I’m not going down without a fight”.
Then in another episode Derek tells Ross that brooks is gonna be his primary student because she has a natural talent. Ross tells Derek that he can do better and work harder but Derek reiterates that brooks will be his focus.
In 10x1 Derek tells Ross to get brooks and find Webber. When Ross meets brooks he tells her that Derek said for her to find Webber. This sends her down to where the electric wires and water shock and kill her. Basically brooks dies by electrocution because Ross was so jealous and wanted her place under Derek.
Shortly after, Cristina takes Shane under her wing and he becomes fascinated with her intelligence and with cardio, so he stays on her service as much as possible. Working with yang and her crazy smart decisions in the OR make him feel empowered, and when he and Yang start sleeping together this only increases.
He eventually does things like fake more hours into the log to work more, and kisses Stephanie after they save a patient (knowing she was seeing Jackson and does it anyway right before Jackson walks in) which puts Steph in a difficult and stressful position
Then he makes the decision to operate on Alex’s dad which he has no business doing , and messes it up. Webber tries to fix it but later on Alex’s dad died because of sepsis related complication caused by Shane. Alex punches him a few times so that’s nice but still it bothered me that Shane never got consequences for killing brooks out of jealousy and killing Alex’s dad. Shane leaves later to learn under Yang though so that’s that - I just hate him so much I wish he was punished
Are you caught up on greys with Jackson and April though? A lot of situations in greys makes it easy to see both sides but in that case no one could make a case for April IMO - she was horrible and selfish to Jackson the whole time after they lost Samuel, and then left to work on Jordan because it made her “feel better” but she never considered his feelings or tried to approach him ever ?
Jackson tried to approach April many times after Samuel, like there’s this one scene he asks her to maybe try again and she goes “screw you” and leaves. April made samuels death all about her because she had a “faith” crisis, and never even thought about Jackson, who also lost his kid.
She goes to Jordan once and then comes back, then Jackson who’s been suffering silently all this time tells her if she go back to Jordan, he wont be here for her when she returns, which is more than fair. She leaves for Jordan again and returns and tries to “fight” for their marriage ?? Like lady, what are you thinking ?
In 12x11 they fight ;April says that Jackson wasn’t dying after Samuel like she was, and she needed Jordan to cope. Jackson says he was never coping but hid his pain to try and help her - April says she was taking care of herself to “survive” and Jackson eventually blows up and tells her that he’s not gonna wait forever for her and that she already left him twice and that he wants a divorce. April was so selfish and only thought about her pain and not her husbands and her faith doesn’t make her pain more important than Jackson’s.
Things happen after that lol but I just wanted to know if you were thinking the same about some of this ?
So, the whole Shane thing ... when I was looking up scenes of the season 10 fight on YouTube I saw other commenters having this, like, passionate hatred for Shane too and when you list everything he's done I'm just like ... I mean ... in the context of Grey's this seems as bad as other characters. Like, did you hate Alex?
Because tallying off the shit Alex has done? Because he wasn't thorough enough during the train accident episode, a woman dies from internal bleeding then he screws over Cristina with Webber. Because he gave Olivia the wrong directions, he fries a guy's brain then cheats on Izzie. He tells Owen about Meredith's messing with the trial, which gets her fired. He tells the husband of that patient that Addison tied her tubes when he knows that the patient begged Addison to do the procedure and couldn't tell her husband. He harassed Izzie by putting up her modelling photos, yelled at April when she didn't want to have sex, that time he gave Olivia and by extension George syphilis, telling the other interns that George was repeating his intern year. I wasn't even watching Grey's at this point but he beat the shit out of DeLuca then his exit from the show is leaving Jo a letter so he can be with Izzie? Lol, maybe Shane was annoying but other characters have been worse.
Also people being mad that Brooks died because Shane didn't go down to look for Webber, he didn't actively kill her, he had no idea that would happen, just say you wish he went down there and died instead.
In terms of April and Jackson, everything I recounted in the last post is what I remember about their relationship.

A Stranger Things headcanon that I have is that El feels incredibly guilty over not being able to save Heather in season 3.
Like, she was determined to help this girl in that season and when she reached out Heather pleaded for her to save her. And she failed. I don’t know, I just think that would weigh on her.
It could’ve been a cool fucking moment when she reaches out to save Max, too. It was happening again. She’s regained her powers, she’d had them when she tried to save Heather only now they’re back stronger, and she still isn’t strong enough. Vecna has Max in his grasp and El is trapped and he’s going to kill Max only this time it’s worse because she’s watching and Max means so much to her. And then she overcomes it and saves her friend like she couldn’t do for Heather before, and she’s just there like;
“I did it this time. I did it.”
Idk I just think it’d be neat.

omg i don’t know why i never connected the dots on the fact you wrote Yours, Kindred!! i was refreshing that DAILY because i too am in my larry rickard slut era. if you ever need something to explore after your hiatus i’ve been thinking of a hurt/comfort sappy fic (keyword thinking because i’m creatively burnt atm) of Humphrey ending up in front of a TV during a televised royal wedding and comparing the public spectacle of that marriage to his own marriage :’) i just love him sm
isn’t it obvious enough?!
I wish you’d popped up sooner, you could’ve read it in full (there’s loads that didn’t make it to ao3, honestly) and saved yourself the update wait!
Message me when you can, I’d love to hear more about your ‘sappy’ ideas. I have the mental image of Humph’s head on one side sat near Heather with her tiny, dodgy tv set on Charles & Di’s wedding. Humph is not happy.

Dear Mama,
@strcngergirls
I’m so scared.
Something attacked me at work, Mama, and since then it’s been making me do things. It made me take Heather to it. And her parents. I’ve been trying to stay away from home and I know you must be really worried but I can’t risk it making me hurt you. You’re all I’ve got. I’d never forgive myself if I hurt you.
I think I’m going to die. This thing keeps telling me I’m weak. I’m trying to fight it, I really am but I can only get to the surface when it lets me. Like a current drawing me under the waves, it sucks me in and only lets up when it knows there’s no one I can tell. No one I can warn.
That girl Max is friends with, it wants her. I don’t know why, I just know it does. I wish I could just tell you so we can keep all the kids safe. Mama, what can I do? All I want is to go home and keep you from worrying about me. But if I do I know how it’ll end.
Tell everyone I’m sorry I wasn’t stronger. That I wish I could’ve kept them all safe. And.. tell Steve I love him. It’s cruel of me to wait until now but I was scared to say it. I was scared to tell you I liked boys but I did when it mattered. I feel like it matters now, telling Steve. I’m scared of dying, Mama, but if I can save everyone when I do.. maybe it’ll be worth it.
Love, your Billy Bee

@pctrkor,    heather    :    [STARING] for sender to find receiver sitting alone staring at a wall, covered in blood, and to touch their arm.
            things have finally hit an uncomfortable state of calm. the chaos of fighting for their lives has quietly dissipated into an eerie silence, a few of the kids getting cuts and scrapes looked at, some of the more intense injuries already in surgery. from what he's heard he has no idea how ziggy survived, but he's relieved she did. they've had so many losses tonight, every person that can be saved is crucial. he's not sure how much of the bloods his own and how much is someone elses. he'd barely gotten hurt, a few old stitches that ripped open (the doctors made a point of telling him that they didn't look professionally done) and an axe to the arm — but not as bad as it could've been. both he and tommy moving in just the right way to avoid the blade slicing through muscle and bone. just a surface wound, easily fixed with a few stitches. he wouldnt let them wash him up, pulled away or fought back any time anyone tried. of course he wouldn't let them, the blood of everyone who wasnt on that bus is on his hands. figuratively and literally.
             he doesn't flinch when he's touched, that's the first sign that something is wrong. its practically ingrained in him to flinch at unexpected touch, his body always running on fear. but that's not the case now. dissociating as he stares at the wall, unaware of her presence, her touch, until she comes into view in front of him. even then, he's only half aware that she's there, part of him thinking it must be some kind of horrible dream. it all has to be. tommy did this. he doesn't understand how thats fucking possible. tommy, one of his best friends, the nicest guy he's ever known. it just doesn't seem right. hands shake, blanket draped over his shoulders, hospital gown replacing the dirty and blood stained towel that he'd been wearing when he got here. if he was a little more aware of things he'd feel exposed, more vulnerable because of the lack of his own clothes. he's trembling, half from the fear still coursing through him and half from the fact that he's still fucking freezing. running around all night in nothing but a towel certainly didn't make this easier, especially when his body’s in shock. gaze drifts across her face, never landing on a single point, as if lost and confused about where to focus. he gives up quickly enough, gaze turning to his hands. he can feel the wetness on his cheeks, just enough that its annoying him. he's not really processing that he's crying, that he's been crying for a while. all he's aware of is a feeling he doesn't like. against better judgement, blood stained hands wipe at his cheeks, successful in getting rid of the tears but leaving a small smear of blood in its wake.

Your Chrissy/Billy headcanons are amazing!!!
I made a fanfic a while ago centering around their friendship! I think the concept of them having a really close relationship that's strictly platonic is really interesting and I'm always excited whenever I see post about it!!!
thank you so much, lovely 🥰 it means a lot!
I just read your fic and I loved it. Please please please keep writing Billy and Chrissy, I will read every single one - promise! 🤍
I’m so glad you adore their friendship, too! A lot of people seem open to the idea and it makes me so happy 💗 I believe she could’ve saved him from the Mindflayer had she been introduced in S3 instead of S4 😭 and now that I think about it, Chrissy and Heather could’ve been the ones to save him! Billy needed just one friend to save him from the MF, but two of his best girls?? The MF wouldn’t have stood a chance!
sorry for rambling a bit lol thank you so much for sharing your fic with me, keep up the great work!! 🤍
and, idk if you saw it, but i made a silly little edit for your reverse harringrove au 🥹

Noella and Jennifer Got Fired from RHOC!
Tumblr media
It has been awfully quiet over at RHOC camp. All of a sudden, two housewives announced that they will not return for next season!
Wow, RHOC really can’t make it right, can they? 
Heather Dubrow’s return to Orange County was supposed to save the show, but sadly it fell flat.
Something happened midseason, because the first half of the season was really good!
Noella Bergener announced her departure by saying this:
“After a wild season of ups and downs, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County. Thank you for all of the fans for all of the love and support during quite possibly the hardest year of my life. I am looking forward to brighter skies ahead, and can’t wait to share what’s next.”
Jennifer Armstrong announced her departure on IG:
“I loved opening up about being a working mom on Real Housewives of Orange County. I am so grateful to have had the privilege to talk about my father, my kids, and a real modern relationship on national television. My family and my work are the most important aspects of my life, so I am stepping away from RHOC and focusing on them.”
But remembered what the Ex-Wives said on RHUGT2: “You got fired!” Noella and Jennifer didn’t quit, Bravo fired them!
I felt like Noella was one of the positive and driving forces of the season, while Jennifer was one of the most boring additions ever in the Real Housewives franchise.
Since Noella is a wild card, had a new boyfriend and was starting her own sex toys business, it could’ve been a fun ride following her in season 17.
But I think Heather’s reluctance to film with Noella made it difficult to keep her on the cast.
Noella thought that the other women were either scared of Heather or sucking up to her, and she constantly challenged Heather’s power on the show.
But she took it too far. She accused Heather of being violent against a producer, but her story always changed.
It might have cost her the spot on the show.

Bewitched (2005)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
During the Mid ‘00s, there was a brief trend of taking popular television series from the ‘60s and onwards and re-imagining/comedically interpreting them as films. Bewitched must be one of the worst examples. It’s unfunny, wastes the talents of its stars and squanders its potential.
After a series of box-office flops, Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell) agrees to play the role of Darrin in a remake of the 1960s sitcom Bewitched. He insists on being the show's star, which means the producers must cast a nobody in the role of his witch wife, Samantha. Isabel Bigelow (Nicole Kidman), an actual witch, sees the role as an opportunity to step away from the world of sorcery she’s grown tired of but soon becomes displeased with her narcissistic co-star.
When in a leading role, Will Ferrell and his comedic style tends to be polarizing. Either audiences think he's a riot, or they can't stand him. In this case, neither camp will have any fun. It isn’t that he’s everdoing his schtick. Actually, the only laughs you get come when director Nora Ephron allows him to let loose. Even then, she lets him go on for too long half the time but he actually succeeds in generating chuckles, unlike the script Nora co-wrote with her sister, Delia Ephron. Steve Carell has a brief role and he’s annoying. Michael Caine as Isabel’s father is slightly amusing but nothing he does goes anywhere and the smiles you get when he's on-screen come from the actor’s charisma, not his lines. Isabel’s newfound friends (Kristin Chenoweth and Heather Burns) are useless, Jack’s sycophant producer Ritchie (Jason Schwarztman) is irritating. You don’t even get a funny talking puppet cat. If the movie had been funny, the gag where Isabel literally rewinds time would’ve been amusing. It isn’t, so all you can do is think about how stupid she must be for forgetting about this spell every other time.
I saved my complaints about the magic for now, because it’s what ultimately sinks the ship. Overall, the fact that Isabel can cast spells means NOTHING. While on TV, the production crew use special effects to make her “mother” Endora (Shirley MacLain) appear. Jack’s lack of charisma makes everyone hate him and love Isabel. She didn’t really have to audition for the role - she just gets the part because she can wiggle her nose. She doesn’t even want to use magic so she doesn’t except in a few scenes you could edit out or turn into fantasy/dream sequences. You could’ve made this movie as just two people on the set of a TV series but that would've forced Bewitched to ditch many of its favourite “gag”. See, Isabel was raised by witches and warlocks, so she has no idea what the Muggle world is like. In fact, she barely understands English. She’s so dumb she depends on her spellcasting to get through the day when she isn’t trapped in a standard, boring rom-com.
Bewitched throws enough darts toward its target to score a couple of hits. For viewers, they come at a steep price. On top of the poorly written and conceived story, the lousy direction, and the non-sensical or confusing aspects (I still can’t figure out if Carole Shelley’s character is Isabel’s real aunt coincidentally called Clara or a character from the show somehow brought to life), this is a romantic comedy that’s never the least bit romantic. Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman have charm as individuals but there are no sparks between them. Bewitched deserves to be burned at the stake. (October 26, 2020)

The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.
Tumblr media
JayBell: Out of all our Halloween picks for this year, I thought this one would be the scariest by far. All I have to say is wow. Just wow.
As it turns out, most of this movie involves three annoying idiots screaming at each other in the woods for several days. It goes like this: big fight, crying, semi-jokes, big fight, more crying, and on and on and on. I’m not gonna lie. I found our three characters so annoying that I couldn’t wait for them to die. Even when they’re sad and emotional, I didn’t care about them or their fate.
I do think the idea for this film has some merit. That’s why the marketing for the film was so famously successful. The mockumentary aspect helps blur the line between reality and fiction, so the scares (hypothetically) would feel more genuine and authentic as opposed to produced. Also, shaky footage supports this anxious and unsettled feeling. However, we are supposed to believe that these are some wannabe filmmakers, yet they can’t hold a camera still to save their lives? They can’t set up a good shot or even frame a shot correctly? A five-year old could hold a camera better than that. Also, the acting wasn’t great, which takes away from the faux realism of the whole thing.
I think my biggest complaint for this movie is how it wasn’t scary at all. As a viewer, I felt safe during the scenes that take place in the day time. The scares should then come at night. However, the night scenes were incredibly short, and the scariest things that happen are faraway baby sounds and our characters running a lot. And then it’s day time again. Also, a pile of rocks is somehow the funniest death threat to me. I was expecting the entrails of animals or scratches not rock piles. And why aren’t they trying to find weapons?? Why aren’t you sharpening some spears or something?
Long story short: I did not enjoy this movie.
Rating: 2/10 cats 🐈
Tumblr media
Anzie: I really thought this would be a lot scarier. I understand the suspense and anticipation is really what is getting the audience nervous and all that, but still- maybe 23 years ago it was absolutely terrifying but it was just kinda meh. And annoying.
Let’s just get this out of the way - they are all film students. RIGhT??? So WhY iS tHE CaMeRA SO SHAKEY?!???!! Like for reals I wanted to vomit- and I GET it it’s soooo scary. They can’t even hold a camcorder- that’s the true horror. The actors did a great job in shifting their attitudes- but my gawddd Heather was annoying. And the screaaammming and biting???? Anyway the little kid laughs weren’t too creepy but ummmm if I’m in the woods at night—— I am NOT getting out of the tent and looking.
My biggest peeve is just how everything scary and creepy does happen in the last five minutes- and really connects the different scary aspects of the movie, whether it be the witch or whatever is actually going on to the group.
Uggg I’m just grateful it was semi short- but really could’ve been like 30 minutes if we’re being honest.
Rating: 1/10 Black Cats 🐈‍⬛

the rage of a fire (yan!diluc x gn!reader)
Tumblr media
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ YOU HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER, LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE! ☽༓・*˚⁺‧͙
salutations. THE RAGE OF A FIRE (drabble)
addressed. yandere!diluc ragnvindr (w/ gn!reader)
content. yandere content, toxic relationship, mentions of reader being stuck in dawn winery, ooc (?), reader is scared for dear life, mentions of violence (i don’t condone/romanticize to yandere nor toxic relationships)
sypnosis. in which diluc finally snaps after your many attempts of begging him to let you go outside.
penpals. @scaraslover @saving-for-xiao @dawgimsohot @kazu-topia @aqualesha @renamichii @hoshikistarlight @chiruru @shenhesl0ver (come visit my taglist info if you’re interested to apply!)
post-script. this is just me word vomiting in attempts of making a yandere fic for my upcoming yandere!thoma fic. this is inspired by meant to be yours from heathers (broadway musical)
as you head inside the master bedroom, you immediately shut the door behind you and lock it, your heart beating fast from what just happened.
“i don’t understand why you’re so worked up over me going out. isn’t it safe for me to go around the vineyard since there aren’t any hilichurls around?” you asked, following diluc around as he walks around the mansion with his eyes on a document.
“i’m not worked up, i simply think you’re much safer here than out there. what if you accidentally got hurt—”
“it’s not like i’ll die from that! i just want to get out for fresh air because i feel so suffocated, can’t you understand that?!”
he lets out a huff and stops talking to you, causing you to clench your fists at his lack of communication. can’t he at least get his eyes off from the document and talk to you?
“your father would’ve been so disappointed if he saw you like this. what would he think if he finds out that you’re treating your partner like this?” you said without a thought crossing your head from the anger fogging up your mind. it’s not fair, why can’t he at least let you explore around the outskirts of dawn winery?! you’re not some pet that will run away from its home the moment it’s outside!
your words pricked diluc’s heart, his eyes slowly widened in disbelief.
“...what did you say?” he asks.
your anger instantly disappears, realizing what you just spat out to your lover. “wh… what?”
diluc’s eyes seems to darken, the small shine that glints in his red-colored orbs disappears. “i said, what did you say to me?”
you slowly took a few steps backwards when you noticed how he walked forward to you, the sounds of your heartbeats grew louder as you felt dread wash over you. you immediately flinched when you felt the wall behind your back. “i.. i didn’t mean it. i-i’m sorry, diluc, really! i… i didn’t know what i was–”
you gasped when he slams his hand against the wall beside your head, you could’ve sworn he cracked the concrete.
the man could only look at you with narrowed eyes, not budging from his position. “you didn’t mean it? is that you sincerely talking or is it just your cowardice i’m talking to right now?”
you couldn’t get the words to come out from your mouth, too stunned to speak. this.. this isn’t the man that you’ve fallen in love with. diluc wasn’t like this back then, right? r..right?
“what, you’re not going to talk to me right now?” he leans in closer to you, causing you to look away and close your eyes shut. make this stop, you don’t want this, you take back everything you just said–
diluc suddenly cups your chin and makes you face him, leaving you no choice but to open your eyes. this was something that could’ve made your heart burst and gain butterflies in your stomach, but this.. this is something that gave you fear. “you’ve been following me for the whole day and tried to talk to me, weren’t you? so come on, speak. what did you just tell me about my father?”
you stayed silent for just a few moments, feeling your lips quiver.
“i.. i don’t know you anymore.” you whispered.
before he could open his mouth and say something, you immediately pushed diluc away and ran away, ignoring his calls.
you leaned down against the locked door and sat down on the floor, heavily breathing. what the hell? what was up with your lover back there? was he just stressed from his piled-up work?
you just wanted to get out… he never lets you out..
“y/n,” you flinched when you heard his voice from the other side of the door, knocking on the door. although his voice seemed calm, you knew him long enough to know that he isn’t calm at all – did you really went too far with what you said about his father?
“open the door right now.”
you close your eyes shut as your hands instinctively cover your ears. you know it’s wrong to be so scared of your own lover, but.. whatever diluc is pulling right now, it’s scaring you to death.
suddenly, he stops knocking on the door.
“y/n, open the door please..” he asks in a soft tone. “i…i don’t know what came over me, can you please open the door? i didn’t mean to scare you.”
he’s lying.
you stayed silent in response. this was truly a mistake, you should’ve left him alone.
“can we not fight anymore, y/n..? please?”
a part of you just wants to open the door and let diluc in, but a part of you rationally tells you to be quiet and hope that he’ll leave you alone to let off some steam.
despite having your ears covered, you could hear the sounds of shuffling behind the door.
“y/n, i know you’re scared right now and i’m sorry for that. can’t you…” he stays quiet for a moment before letting out a sigh. you could imagine him leaning his forehead against the door from the other side. “can’t you just let me make up? i didn’t know what came over me and i let my anger took control.”
you continued to stay silent, opening your eyes from the sounds of the wind, causing you to notice how the curtains starts moving with the wind that comes from one of the window that’s opened, it’s as though barbatos has made his presence known to you.
out of sudden bravery and just desperation in wanting this to be over, you spoke to the man in a soft but firm tone. “…no.”
.
.
.
it was only a few seconds of silence before you realized you have made another mistake.
“fine,” he said, the soft tone that could’ve made you open the door for him has long disappeared, only to be replaced by a darker tone that instantly gave you chills down to your spine.
“i’ll count to three and that door better open.”
