#how they can still bond over going to the spa & calling each other pretty and how they can fight in the mud for hours

😎 I talked to my sister today on the phone and that made me so happy because I have been missing her terribly ( she had recently moved really really far away with her husband ) . But that has me thinking about SB and their sister, probably her SO and all of that ( with dear Nat mixed in as well. Now that she realizes that she’s in love and nearly lost SB she isn’t going anywhere) . So after the siblings reconnected and the birth of sisters baby ( and not to mention SB VERY NEARLY DYING) Sister and her family moved to be near SB and better able be in SB and Nat’s ( Nat may not see it yet but Sister and her family fully view her as wholly part of the family and basically views her and SB as practically married as they can clearly see how in love they both are and that the relationship is clearly going in that direction. Even when and especially when Nat and SB can’t see it) lives. So when SB was in the hospital and when they came home Sister was always there to help take care of SB , the sister is also a nurse(*) and was teaching Nat all the essential things that she needed to know in caring for SB. Because there is no way in hell after Nat was taught the necessities she was going to let nurses or doctors ( unless it was truly necessary to do so or if that nurse was SB’s sister) take care of HER BEEF 🥩 😤. Sister and Nat really bonded ( they already had an understanding and the start of a good relationship) and their relationship really solidified.
I am in love with the idea of Sister coming over and leaving her baby and SO to SB so She and Nat could have a girls night out together . And the SO and Beef already knew each other for a very long time before hand and do enjoy each other’s company so it isn’t awkward at all and of course SB is just loving on the baby. (*) The sister and her SO have been together since they were teenagers and are high school sweethearts. Beef is absolutely loving the fact that their two girls (Subject to change based on if vulture makes the SO or the sisters baby a girl. Or if vulture makes SB have a good relationship with their mom.) are together and get along so well. SB would NEVER call Nat their girl out aloud ( they have some self preservation and they are a himbo, not outright stupid) .
I am now asking about one Miss Yelena( fuck that middle name , I will butcher it) Belova because as we all know in any universe that Yelena is Nat’s sister. Nat loves that girl more than life it’s fucking self ( MCU’s Nat certainly did ) . Is Yelena in the Sergeant Beef Universe and is she Nat’s sister( biological or adoptive) ? Are Melina and Alexei her parents (biological or adoptive ) and what is that home life like ? I am in need of more background information like this so I can fully and more accurately formulate more thoughts on these things. If Yelena is still Nat’s sister is she still the younger sister and is the age difference still the same ( in the MCU Nat is five years older than Yelena) . I know in the comics they weren’t sisters and they had a more antagonistic relationship and were much more rivals than anything.
(* This is kinda based off my sister a bit . My sister is a nurse and she has been with her high school sweetheart husband since they were teenagers. So I have known her husband for a long time and I love him dearly as my brother in law. We enjoy each other’s company.)
Aww this is such a happy, cute headcanon. Loved this one. :)
I think once Nat warms up to SB's sister, they're truly going to be the bestest of friends. I feel like Nat doesn't have a lot of female friends, so until she meets the sister, she doesn't really have anyone who will go to a spa with her, or take her to get her hair done, stuff like that. And Nat doesn't realize how much she's wanted to do stuff like that until SB's sister happily takes her out. 🥺
Once Nat learns how to be a nurse, the entire hospital staff is forbidden from entering SB's room. 😂 I feel like there was one incident where a pretty nurse was helping wash SB, and SB was getting a little "excited" about it (not that they can really control that) and Nat saw and got so jealous. 😅😂
I think SB would be so happy too that Nat is getting along with their sister. Nat really does need friends/people to take her out of her work, and the sister is perfect for that.
Omg, I love Yelena! I've never given her any thought in this AU, to be honest lol. I suppose that is another thing to be explored, but for now all I can confirm is that Yelena does exist in the Sergeant Beef AU, and they were both adopted by Melina and Alexei basically from birth. Yelena also serves in the military, but not in the Army branch like Nat and SB. More to come. :)
And that's such a coincidence with your sister! My brother also moved far away from home, and he too is a nurse!

what rlly gets to me is that toph makes katara furious. she’s messy and rude and infuriating and she has quite the temper. she’s entitled and defensive and “help” seems to be a foreign concept to her, both towards herself and others and katara doesn’t get it but she wants to get it. katara still takes toph to the spa and she calls her pretty and defends her when other girls are making fun of her, and then they fight in the mud and get down and dirty and they clash and collide and they are gentle and caring with each other still. aang was never someone katara felt responsibility or rivalry towards, there’s no actual sibling experience in there. it is toph that means the definitive becoming of katara into a big sister. as toph says it herself (“she actually cares about me—the real me”), katara is annoyed by her and she yells at her and toph yells back and they argue and they have fun together and katara never turns away from who toph really is. and that’s all toph ever wanted, really.

can i req some dad reiner fluff? i feel like he would have a lot of kids bc of the breeding kink 🥴 but yeah just some cute stuff pls thank uuuu!!
THE THOUGHT OF REINER BEING FATHER JUST DOES SOMETHING TO ME I- AJHSJS
THANK YOU SM FOR REQUESTING, ANON!! LET'S GET CAUGHT UP IN THE REINER BRAINROT TOGETHER <3
═════════°∴,*⋅✲══〖✰〗══✲⋅*,∴°═════════
—DAD REINER!
 (MODERN AU + MENTIONS OF PREGNANCY + FEMALE BODIED READER + FLUFF + SLIGHTLY SUGGESTIVE + REINER BEING THE BEST DAD EVER DUH + TW: SLIGHT LANGUAGE)
═════════°∴,*⋅✲══〖✰〗══✲⋅*,∴°═════════
Dad Reiner who was such a hot mess moments before he became a father to begin with. The pair of you are situated inside a hospital room, occupied with things much bigger than a sprained ankle. He stood alongside you, his beloved, all the while; Encouraging your efforts and attempting to ease your pain with the squeeze of your hand within his bigger one. As fretful as he feels, it's no surprise that Reiner ends up passing out a good few times, and he wasn't even the one in labor. Though, the hard part is now over, and all his worry has subsided.
Dad Reiner who recalls whimpering, weakly grinning, and eventually bawling of joy when holding his child for the first time. You'd never seen his cries mingled with such joy before. He cradles yours and his newborn within firm forearms and large, mindful hands. The pair of you sob and smile, ogle your baby with a relieved, content thrum in your heart. You allow Reiner to attempt squeezing into the hospital bed beside you, as broad and weighty as he is, with your child being held right between you and him. He’s a hot mess, but an overjoyed one who has you; and little Reiner x [Y/N] junior 🥺
Dad Reiner who converses with you for days before ultimately deciding on a name for yours and his daughter— Joyce Braun. He contemplated on “Karina”, the name of his dear mother. Though, he wants his little girl to be better than any past generation, and rather goes with a more revitalizing name, one that holds a simple, but deep meaning in his perspective. As obvious as it sounds, the name means “Joyful”. That's all he wants; for his kid to be happy in this life, happier than he ever was. Therefore, he bases her name, the root of his dear child’s identity, on cheerfulness.
Dad Reiner who tends to grow somewhat frustrated. Not with you of course, not even with Joyce’s incessant wailing in the early hours of the morning, but with himself. It wasn't as though he did anything wrong, he simply hopes that he won't. Begs himself not to fuck up with this whole “Parent” thing. If it wasn’t clear enough, Reiner wants to be nothing like his own father. He’ll never, ever shoo his child away and disregard them, but instead use those same hands to hold, guide, and lift them up. It doesn't take long for the blonde to snap out of his funk, because he's sure that he can become all the better for the sake of his little family.
Dad Reiner who wakes to your still, ethereal-like form every morning, and it's enough to make his day. A kiss to your neck, a nibble along your earlobe, and a couple repetitive rubs to your waist and thighs are enough to stir you right awake. And if that isn't the case, then it's usually the other way around; You pressing soft, lengthy kisses to his sharp, attractive cheekbones. Despite who arises first, there’s always one thing that's bound to happen— Joyce making her arrival into the bedroom via crawl, with a babble and a cute, happy little shriek upon seeing her parents.
The pair of you have no clue as to how she manages to make her way over to your room every time, but you're simply glad that she does so safely. It's Reiner’s cue to leap out of bed and scoop her off of the carpet and into his awaiting arms, clad in nothing but a white tee and the baggiest sweats. He appears disheveled, but it's still clear to see the main striking similarity between him and his pretty little daughter; Those amber brown eyes that hold the same warm, yellowish hue as his do.
He rocks the giggling one-year old, back and forth and right back again, gazing upon his squirming bundle of joy until you mention that he’s been doing so for a whole ten minutes. He grows sheepish and merely chuckles in reply, resting Joyce’s head upon his firm chest with a sigh. He could do this for ten hours more if it were up to him.
Dad Reiner who knocked you up a couple more times, and real damn good at that. There’s something of a breeding fetish that he’s got on him, which is the reason why your little family is now two kids larger. There’s Joyce, who’s now seven years old, along with her two baby brothers, the pair being a mere one year apart from the other. You and Reiner no longer have to worry about checking on Joyce in her crib, for she sleeps on her own bed now, like the “big girl” she claims to be.
Though, the boys now have you both occupied, and you’re lucky to have an older daughter who’s so understanding and rarely ever  grows jealous. Joyce, your girl who’s on more of the rambunctious side but ironically never pleads for attention, has been spending much more quality time with Reiner. Both you and him are busy with the boys, but the blonde tends to have free time on his hands every now and then. Besides, someone’s got to keep Joyce company.
Reiner happily obliges, and makes this father-daughter time worthwhile. Wholesome picnics to the park that always end in races back to the car and Reiner being a damned klutz and dropping his sandwich. Having a “spa day”, filled with Reiner’s not-so-great attempts at doing his girl’s hair, messy manicures and a hefty bag of makeup that Joyce “borrowed” from you. He spoils the girl as if the lot of you are rich (and since Reiner’s always got a hefty load of spare cash, you technically are), but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Dad Reiner who’s a lot more used to this “dad” thing now, since it’s been a couple good years down the line. You and him have amazing bonds with each of your kids, but they seem to latch onto Reiner’s large, broad body at any given time a lot more than they do you. Joyce is twelve, the brothers are five and six, and Reiner’s officially a DILF— The finest one at that. His stubble stays nicely trimmed, along with the subtle creases at his eyes becoming a little more distinctive. Goes to work, and sometimes takes the kid’s lunches instead of his own, because that's just the Reiner Way.
He’s the ultimate father in practically every situation, even when looking out for peers and comrades. He doesn’t mean to, it’s just that habits easily stick with Reiner, and it’s rather difficult for him to let them go. Besides, with three kids, how do you expect him to not be in “dad mode”?
Dad Reiner who utterly loves having random little talks with his kids, and never invalidates them, not for one second. It’s almost as though he can see things in their perspective, and they don’t know anyone else better to vent to other than their dad and mom. Though, when they tend to babble on about something that’s rather popular within their generation, it gets hard for him to catch up. They proceed to call him “old” and receive a good chase around the house before they get caught and looped into a tickle attack, and that's basically the worst thing imaginable if you’re in the Braun family. The reason being is Reiner’s unparalleled speed, despite his age; Thirties to early forties, but he’s still extremely fit, and has no problem running a mile if he has to.
Dad Reiner who’s in love with his family and the person they’ve gradually helped him become. You cherish him and your kids like none other, and he does the same. Sometimes it abruptly dawns on him; He’s a dad, and he’s actually a good one, who would’ve known? He smiles to himself, allowing his amber eyes to flit over to wherever you are before his soft grin grows wider. You look back, blow a kiss, and he does the same. The action is exchanged before he strides over to give you the real deal— Though, your sweet little peck is all cut short when Joyce and the boys skip in and start making kissy noises, with you and Reiner laughing all the while.
═════════°∴,*⋅✲══〖✰〗══✲⋅*,∴°═════════
“Papa,” Gale, the youngest son of the bunch, calls aloud and gains his father’s attention. Reiner peers up from his book and gives a brief, questioning response. “Yes, dove?” It’s a simple, sweet nickname; One that he calls you, Joyce, and the boys.
“Mommy’s in the bathroom crying.” The blonde drops his novel with an punctuating hitch of his breath, the book falling upon the couch with a dull thump. “—Why? Is she alright?” Reiner, the man who generally keeps himself rather poised, is now frantic, sharp brows downturned at his son's statement.
“Uh, I dunno. She’s crying, but smiling too.” This then causes Reiner’s brows to furrow. “Smiling, you say?”
“Yeah. Can we go out to get ice cream today? I wanna get, uh.. Chocolate chip, please!”
Reiner lets a brief laugh slip loose at Gale’s query, but he has to prioritize his wife over a summertime snack. He then begins to make a beeline towards the bathroom, in search of you. “Soon enough, dove. I’ve got to go up there and check on your momma first, alright—?”
Gale then shrugs and hops onto the couch, little feet padding along the spacey seat as the leather creases underneath his weight.
“By the way, Papa,” Reiner then pauses, open to any vital information his son could give, “she has this funny stick thingy in her hand. It’s got two little lines on it and stuff.”
Reiner chokes on his breath, lower lip beginning to tremble and quirk into a smile. If the case is what he thinks it is, he’s got all the reason to bust out with the teary eyes and jovial whimpers, just as he did when receiving the news of his three expected children in the past.
“A stick..?”
“Mhm,” hums Gale, proceeding to jump upon the dark brown couch, “Mama probably wants some chocolate chip ice cream too.”

hypmic headcanons
since nobody on my instagram appreciates me, i’m going to put them here, and it’ll be like a master post i can add onto that way anyway (which is convenient for me, because i keep adding on… yeah, it’s bad lmao. my notes document can only take so much) all of it will be under the line so you guys don’t just have a big ass post clogging your feed! to whoever my 4 followers are
starting with fling posse…
---
Ramuda Amemura
He’s trans.
He has a superiority complex to hide his inferiority complex.
He also likely has a little bot of a god complex… Just a tiny bit… Not to the point it’d endanger his life, but to the point he can never admit he’s wrong (I suppose this can also count as the superiority complex).
He also has a little bit of a schoolboy crush on Dice… that has lasted far longer than he’d ever like to admit – not that he’d ever admit it in the first place – and he gets jealous over Dice.
He started his whole thing with girls, whatever it is, as a power trip, which also explains why he likes to cause so much chaos.
Since he used to smoke, he started candy as a way to stop smoking and it slowly replaced his smoking habit (as I have yet to see him smoke otherwise, but keep in mind I’m not far into the manga and mostly I’m going off the ARB story).
---
Gentaro Yumeno
All writers are perfectionists (I’d know as one).
He’s probably very particular about the details and doesn’t like doing things without a plan.
He’s the lyric write for Fling Posse’s raps and does not enjoy making up lyrics on the spot; however he can if he must – This is also why he carries the book everywhere.
I honest to god don’t feel like he’s of this world and whatever his actual form is (irony in his rap name?), it scared Ramuda enough to create Fling Posse, so here they are.
---
now for the dice ones… it’s gonna be long!
---
Dice Arisugawa
He is, unfortunately, very oblivious to romantic approaches – especially from close friends such as his division members, for he’s been with them for so long that he can never imagine them falling in love with him.
He has abandonment issues/a fear of abandonment because his mother left him.
Speaking of his mother, Dice likely knows how to do “noble” things because he was raised by a politician; i.e. how to play piano and stuff like that.
Adding on top of that, I feel like Dice has an accumulation of many different skills from being all over the place – He learned how to do card tricks by watching others, and he probably learned bird calls from spending time with Rio.
He undoubtedly has ADHD (as a person with ADHD myself, you cannot tell me I am wrong)!
He’s well aware that’s he a leech, but he can’t stop himself because the addiction is stronger and he feels terrible about it; it’s why he often begs instead of anything else that would fit his character more.
He’s a very talkative person and often rambles to get his thoughts organized.
He doesn’t like being put into awkward situations or forced into silence because he is used the buzz of a casino and a busy city.
Relating to the ADHD canon, Dice puts his life on line not only for the thrill of it, but to keep his mind off of thoughts, and it’s also why he gambles; so he can focus on one thing.
He is numb to change because he’s a gambler.
He is very good at adapting to a new environment.
He doesn’t like being looked down up and that’s why he started gambling; to prove that he’s worth something.
He uses humor to cope if he can’t get his mind off of things with the thrill of gambling.
---
Extras (Fling Posse all together)
Dice has weird limbs, so clothing fits him weird, and Ramuda started making clothes for them because of that.
Ramuda chased after Dice after he stole his signature parka and the Fling Posse star was embroidered on later by Ramuda after the formation of Fling Posse.
Ramuda likely pulls whatever strings he has access to to make life easier for his division members (not that it stops them from getting into trouble, that is).
Gentaro spends a lot of time away when writing and likely forgets he’s even alive during those periods, so his division members make sure he’s still taking care of himself when he gets like that.
They all piss each other off, but in a platonic love kind of way.
---
moving onto matenrou! my favorite division <3
---
Jakurai Jingui
Oh, my poor man’s so tired. He just needs a long break and a spa day; speaking of this, he likely doesn’t ask for help often – it’s the messiah complex he undoubtedly has.
His hair is too long for him to be taking care of it himself, and it definitely looks in fantastic condition, so he definitely takes good care of it – I just don’t think he takes care of it himself; I think he enlists the help of his division members (as I headcanon that Matenrou is in a poly relationship).
Jakurai’s matureness can sometimes get in the way of other things, such as emotional moments, and he can come off as cold or distant when he doesn’t mean to come off that way.
Unlike the other divisions, Jakurai wanted to really separate from his past, and that’s why he named his division Matenrou instead of reusing something from the past. He also probably doesn’t like talking about the past.
His hair is naturally silver, but the lighter shades that are nearly white underneath was caused by stress.
He gets cold quickly, which is why he always keeps the lab coat on, and it’s also why he wears a turtleneck.
Jakurai does live in the same apartment as Doppo and Hifumi, but he’s always so busy that he often can’t get there, so he ends up sleeping at the hospital; he also has a separate apartment of his own that’s closer to the hospital if he has free time, but he’s not off work/off work but still on call.
---
Doppo Kannonzaka
Man, the first thing I thought when I saw him was that he has a choking kink. Enough said. He also likely has a praise kink.
If he didn’t have social anxiety and wasn’t so busy, he’d also probably be going over to Rio’s camp a lot. I think it’s because he’s so overworked that he doesn’t care about what’s in the food; as long as he gets it.
He’s probably passed out from exhaustion more than once and just got used to it.
Despite all his problems, he definitely wants to be known and he wants his name out there; he wants to be just like the other two and he definitely looks up to them already, but he aspires to be them.
He is so thankful for his divison members and he’s glad that they accepted him.
---
Hifumi Izanami
Hifumi is a classic case of “fake it till you make it”; I really don’t know how he became one of the most popular hosts in Shinjuku, but it’s definitely about the fake confidence and the jacket is a comfort object for him that allows him to have that confidence.
He cooks all the time for his division members and he uses the catches from fish all the time, too. He even brings the lunches to their works for them.
---
Extras
Since Hifumi’s always out so late, the others make sure he has everything he needs for whenever he wakes up and sometimes they wait for him.
They’re all in a poly relationship and I refuse to believe anything else; I mean, have you seen those “my room” dialouge in ARB? Fruity.
They probably all love to cuddle whenever they get the chance because they can’t do it often.
They definitely set up one day of the month for all of them to just be together.
---
buster bros time!
---
Ichiro Yamada
This may just be the Ichiro simp in me, but I think he has a very nice tummy that’d be nice to lay on; like a soft one if that makes any sense to anybody other than me.
He’s a very friendly person and if you’re close friends with him, he’s definitely loyal; he’d be willing to drop anything to help you kind of loyal, like he is to his brothers – all that, except the willing to die part.
I think he gets flustered easily and doesn’t know how to respond to compliments. That’s also probably the Ichiro simp in me.
Although he has to stop his brothers from ripping out each other’s throats all the time, he’s very proud of them and of their achievements, no matter what they are. He’s willing to praise them even for the tiniest things to make up for his absence in their lives.
He probably has a terrible sleeping schedule, but he could probably operate on pretty much anything. Two hours of sleep? That’s not an issue for him; he’s used to it.
He’s likely a cheapskate when it comes to himself, but when it comes to his brothers, he spares no expense if he can.
---
Saburo Yamada
He has a superiority complex. I mean, just look at how he acts with Jiro – that’s enough proof right there.
He got into hacking and all of that computer stuff because it was interesting to him; he’s probably pursuing a career in it, considering just how good he is at it. I feel like he’d make a good white hat hacker that tests your website security, like Alma in Va-11 Hall-A.
Call him a library, because he holds grudges for years.
I think he just likes picking arguments because he think it’s funny and there’s nothing better to do when you’re stuck with your brothers (as somebody with a sibling myself, I can attest to that).
---
Jiro Yamada
Anger issues. Yep, that’s it. That’s the headcanon.
Man probably goes dumpster diving to see what kind of treasures he can find; his room is probably full of that kind of junk.
He probably has greasy hair. It doesn’t matter how much he cleans it, it’s just greasy (as somebody with the same issue, go clean your pillows Jiro).
---
Extras
Ichiro has to hold Jiro back from just punching Saburo all the time.
God, somebody save Ichiro from his siblings; with how much they bicker, he probably has taken so much ibuprofen to stop headaches in his life that he should be considered dead from an overdose.
Despite being assholes to each other, they all help each other out – Saburo helps Jiro with his work, Jiro helps Saburo with whatever he can’t do, and Ichiro takes care of the rest. It’s the only thing keeping their bond together.
---
mad trigger crew, my beloved.
---
Rio Mason Busujima
Rio’s very stoic and that often doesn’t break, so it’s very rare to see a smile on his face. He has different smiles for different things too – there’s the business one; one so he doesn’t look as intimidating, and the actual genuine smile that’s very rare to see, but it happens when somebody appreciates his food.
Rio’s not good at understanding emotions and it takes him awhile to process emotions; he goes quiet in these moments and it can be confusing for those who don’t know him, but once he’s thought everything out, he’s very smart about responding.
He’ll never fully adjust to a life outside of the navy and military.
Opposite to Dice, he finds the buzz of a city to be too distracting for his thoughts and he enjoys his solitude, but he doesn’t mind company at all.
Due to how his unit was broken up, he refuses to abide by H law and keeps his gun on him. Even Rio can be spiteful. However, he mostly uses it for hunting, which is why he’s so far out in the forest.
He definitely has a lot of scars and that’s why he often wears his fatigues; he doesn’t wana come off as off-putting. His cards without the jacket did him so dirty. Of course he’d have scars from fighting in World War 3.
He can come up with strategies on the spot and is a very quick-thinker when it comes to combat.
Despite how ruthless he is when it comes to rap battles and being an ex-navy, he’s actually a very gentle soul.
I feel like he’s asexual, but homoromantic.
---
Samatoki Aohitsugi
He only uses the bad guy persona as a way to be left alone, but he’s actually a very kind person.
Despite being a yakuza, he actually abides to the H law and it’s probably only because of Nemu (however, this is only based off of the anime, so I can’t say for certain, but I haven’t seen anything in the manga disproving otherwise yet).
I just feel like he eats a lot throughout the day. I can’t explain this one, but he has the vibes.
He also knows how to cook quite well himself, and he does it for his division members sometimes.
---
Jyuto Iruma
He’s very cocky because he knows he can get away with things; I mean, he’s the authorties, why wouldn’t he get cocky about what he can do? However, it’s somewhat annoying to Samatoki.
If he wasn’t a gay bastard, Samtoki and Rio probably would’ve been arrested long ago. Thankfully for them, he is a gay bastard.
He likes looking good no matter what; it helps his confidence, so he dresses up to go out anywhere.
His glasses are probably just reading glasses.
He likes spending money on expensive things.
---
Extras
Samatoki and Jyuto are in a relationship. They’re so fruity that I’m sure I don’t have to explain this one.
Samatoki doesn’t approve of Rio dating Dice at all and it’s only because of Jyuto that Dice is still alive.
Rio is pretty much their marriage counselor; he has to constantly deal with them bickering, so of course he is. He’s pretty much the adopted child to save their marriage.

How to Say I Love You with Socks
Another movie night in the Dean-Cave. Dean and Castiel took up their usual spaces on the couch, Dean on one end, Castiel on the other. Close, but not close enough. Dean didn’t know how to change that. He was just happy they were together and alive. Their lives had been chaos lately—rushing from hunt to hunt, Castiel running low on grace. This night was their first chance in weeks to take a breath.
Halfway through The Untouchables, though, Dean realized Castiel didn't look quite so relaxed. He had pulled his knees up to his chest, his arms wrapped around his legs.
“You alright, Cas?” he asked.
Frowning, Castiel pulled his eyes from the TV. “It seems that since my grace is diminished, I can’t regulate my body temperature as well.” A shiver hitched his shoulders.
“You’re cold,” Dean realized. Grabbing a blanket, he slid closer to drape it over Castiel’s shoulders. “Here.”
Contentment spread across Castiel’s face as he wrapped the blanket tighter around himself. His shoulders relaxed and he smiled at Dean. “Thank you.”
Dean realized his hand was still resting on Castiel’s back and he pulled it away. “Of course.” Tearing his eyes away from the sight Castiel made, cozy and warm, he retreated back to his side of the couch.
When the movie ended, Dean let the credits play, not wanting to hasten the inevitable moment when they both got up and went to their separate rooms. In the black screen he could see their reflections, two shapes on either side of the couch, wide distance between them. There was always so much space between them, but he was too hesitant to close it, afraid he'd cross a line, ruin a friendship, a happy night.
Sighing, he turned off the TV and the room went silent. They headed back to the hallway where the doors to their bedrooms stood.
“Goodnight,” Castiel said when they reached Dean’s door. He started to walk away, still holding the blanket around himself, and Dean realized Castiel's feet were bare.
“Wait a moment,” he said. Going into his room, he rummaged through his dresser. “Take these,” he said, returning to where Castiel stood in the doorway and handing him a pair of his warmest socks, thick wool. “Put them on.”
Dutifully, Castiel did so. “They're very warm," he said with a happy sigh, looking down at his socked feet.
“Keep them,” Dean said. They stood there for a moment longer in the doorway, until Dean stepped back. "Well, goodnight," he said, wishing he knew how to put into words what he really wanted to say.
“Goodnight.”
Maybe it was Castiel's content sigh that Dean was thinking of when he was running errands the next day. Maybe he was thinking of the words he hadn't been able to say last night or any night. Maybe that’s why when he saw a pair of fuzzy socks, he decided to buy them.  
He felt sheepish putting the socks on the cashier conveyor belt. “They’re for my niece,” he lied when the cashier picked them up to scan them, feeling like he, a grown man, should have an appropriate excuse for buying yellow socks covered in tiny bees. The cashier only gave him a glance, seemingly not interested in the slightest.
He felt even more embarrassed when he found Castiel in the map room back at the bunker and gave him the socks. But Castiel's reaction was worth it.
“I love them,” Castiel breathed, taking them from Dean. Quickly, he pulled off Dean’s wool socks and pulled on the new ones. Dean had to smile at the way he wiggled his toes in the yellow socks and smiled up at him.
An urge filled him to bend down and press a kiss to Castiel’s lips, but instead he contented himself with patting Castiel on the shoulder. "You're welcome."
There had always been something unspoken between him and Castiel. Something unbreakable tying them together over the years as they grew closer and grew apart, fought and found their way back to each other. Castiel had once called it their “profound bond," but Dean didn't know what that meant in practical terms. He had tried calling Castiel a friend, had tried calling him a brother. Neither of those words seemed enough.
The next time Dean saw a pair of fuzzy socks, he bought them… and the time after that, and the time after that, and so on. He created a whole family of aunts and nieces and a mother and cousins with which to explain his purchases to cashiers. Castiel soon had a whole drawer designated for socks. Striped socks, polka dotted socks, fluffy socks, fuzzy socks, red socks, blue socks.
Buying them for Castiel seemed such a small gesture, but they always made Castiel smile. Maybe it wasn’t so small after all.
And maybe Castiel understood what Dean meant when he gave him a new pair of socks. Because one night when their movie ended and they made their way back to their rooms, Castiel paused in the hallway. “Can I… Can I sleep with you tonight?”
Dean forgot how to speak for a moment, nodded quickly. “Yeah, of course,” he managed.
They didn’t speak as they lay down and pulled up the covers. His heart pounding, Dean turned off the lamp on his nightstand and settled down. He could feel Castiel's arm against his, felt Castiel shiver.
“Are you cold?” he asked.
“A little,” Castiel admitted and shifted, his socked foot brushing Dean’s foot, soft cotton.
After a moment’s hesitation, Dean wrapped his arm around him. “Better?” he asked.
“Yes,” Castiel said, sliding closer to Dean. “Much better.”
They began sleeping next to each other every night, moving closer and closer until they lay in each other’s arms. After years of yearning looks, they had progressed to something more tangible, though Dean didn’t know what to call this new development. He didn’t know what would happen if he tried to voice it, tried to give it a name. Castiel still shivered when he walked through the bunker. Dean bought him more socks.
Socks made of wool and cotton, socks that shed, socks that soon became threadbare around the heel, socks stained with blood after hunts.
“I’m sorry,” Castiel said after one such hunt where they discovered a vampire nest. He dropped his hand from where he’d held it over Dean’s arm. The gash from Dean’s elbow to wrist had stitched itself together slowly, the angry, red scar fading somewhat, though it still stung fiercely. “I wish I could do more.”
“You did more than enough,” Dean said, taking his hand as Castiel pulled him to his feet. His chest still felt tight, his hands shaky from the close call. Castiel had used his depleting grace to take down two vampires going after Sam, and Dean saw the exhaustion in his eyes, thought they must mirror his own.
Sam walked through the barn, counting how many vampires they had killed. “You guys good?” he called. When Dean nodded, he stepped outside the barn, out of view. Dean realized he was still holding Castiel's hand, slick with blood.
“Are you sure you're alright?” he asked, looking back at Castiel. Castiel nodded and a smudge of blood on his chin drew Dean’s eyes. Hesitantly, Dean wiped at it with his thumb. Then he let his hand stay there, cupping Castiel’s face, his eyes trailing over the soft lines of Castiel’s mouth.
“Dean,” Castiel said quietly, and Dean realized he was holding his breath. Before he could lose his courage, he leaned in and pressed his lips to Castiel's, a feather-light touch. The tightness in his chest unfurled when Castiel lifted a hand to his face and pressed their mouths closer together, soft but insistent.
“We should’ve done that years ago," Castiel whispered when slowly they broke apart and met each other's eyes.
Dean let out a shaky breath. "Yes, we should've."
Sam called for them to hurry up and, still breathless, Dean let go of Castiel's hand. Castiel looked down at his clothes, trench coat dirty and bloody. “These were new,” he complained, pulling up his pant leg to gesture to his socks—light blue dotted with stitched white clouds, now stained dark red.
Dean laughed, his head light. “I’ll buy you new ones.”
Socks Castiel wore on movie nights, socks Castiel tried to get Dean to wear, socks Castiel picked out, pointing to different ones in the store and Dean placing them in the cart. Holiday themed socks, movie themed socks, socks with tiny animals, socks with garish, gaudy colors that Dean pretended to hate. Castiel didn't shiver anymore. Dean kept buying him socks.
“How much of our budget is going towards socks?” Sam asked them when they returned from the grocery store with yet another pair. (Had Dean realized before now that grocery stores sold socks? No, but it seemed he was now a magnet for them.)
“Credit card fraud, Sam,” Dean said, restocking the fridge. “It’s other people’s money.”
“And these are special,” Castiel said, sitting down at the kitchen table to pull them on. “They’re ‘spa socks infused with lotion.’”
“Spa socks?” Sam asked, looking at Dean, not bothering to hide the smile on his face.
“Shut up,” Dean said. He was pretty sure Sam knew about him and Castiel—there was a particular look in his eyes when they came into the kitchen together in the mornings, when they left for long rides in Baby. He didn't mind that Sam knew, but he didn’t want to speak of it yet; this blossoming offshoot of the bond between him and Castiel still felt so new, so light. He was almost afraid it would collapse like a pyramid of cards if he spoke too loudly, tried to define it. He told himself he was just happy it existed.
Mismatched socks, blue and green stripes on Castiel’s left foot and corgis on his right, as he and Dean walked through a Walmart. Castiel refused to throw out any socks, even when he lost one to the dryer, or wherever socks disappeared to—hence the mismatched pairs. Or maybe he mismatched them on purpose; maybe he hadn’t figured out adult humans always match their socks. Either way, Dean never mentioned it because it was, he had to admit, a pretty adorable habit.
He was looking down the store aisles, trying to figure out where the toilet paper was, when Castiel said, “Wait, look!” and veered off to the left.
“What?—oh.” Dean caught sight of the rack of socks Castiel was headed towards. “Cas, you have an obsession.”
“That is completely your fault.” Castiel stopped in front of the rack and scanned the footwear.
Dean was about to point out a pair— actually, Cas might already own those, he thought—when Castiel inhaled sharply. “Look at these.”
Dean turned to see what he was pointing at. Slippers. Large, plushy, yellow and black striped slippers with eyes and antennas to show that they were bees. Bee slippers.
They were atrocious.
Castiel reached out and squeezed one of the slippers in his hands. “There’s two pairs, we can match.”
The smile he turned on Dean was teasing, to show he wasn’t expecting Dean to say yes. Which was smart, because Dean was not going to say yes.
But then Castiel added, “That is something couples do, isn’t it? Match with each other?” and Dean’s heart skipped a beat.
Castiel had called them a couple. Had spoken of them, together. Dean hadn't realized how badly he'd wanted to hear them, their relationship, acknowledged. And suddenly, when spoken aloud, this blossoming thing, this growing relationship between them, didn't seem so tenuous, in danger of collapse. It felt weightier, like it was built to last.
Castiel dropped his hand from the slippers, and Dean knew a few years ago he would’ve told Castiel that only nauseatingly cute, annoying couples wore matching slippers. Now he knew what he really wanted to say, knew exactly what to call the bond between them.
He pulled the slippers off the rack. “Yes, they do,” he said. “When they’re in love and want everyone to know it.”
"In love," Castiel repeated, blue eyes searching Dean's.
Dean smiled. "Yes."
A tiny part of him wanted to curl up in embarrassment when they brought the slippers to check out, but a greater part of him prompted him, instead, to lace his fingers with Castiel’s and kiss him on the forehead. Castiel smiled up at him. The bee slippers eyed him from the plastic shopping bag. The cashier said, “That’ll be $21.39.”
And when Dean and Castiel padded into the kitchen the next morning in their matching, beady-eyed, lopsided antenna slippers, Dean didn’t even mind the stifled laughter they were met with from Sam.
“You’re just jealous,” Dean said, threading his arm around Castiel’s waist and pulling him close. “They’re very comfortable.”
“And very warm,” Castiel added. He tapped his slippered foot against Dean’s, like the bees were kissing, and Sam pretended to gag. Smiling, Dean tapped Castiel's slipper back, then kissed him for real.

Word count : 2.1k
Paring(s) : Tamaki Amajiki x F! Reader (fem pronouns)
Enjoy ♡
———————————————————————
Forever // T. Amajiki
Tumblr media
Being with Tamaki for a few years taught his lover a lot. She saw more sides of him than most, and it made her heart swell to see the usually quiet boy happy and determined when he accomplished something he was trying for or when he was down she knew just how to cheer him up.
As the day drew on she realised just how much she loved him and how much she wished for him to be home, to give him a big kiss as he came through the door, knowing that his day was long, plagued with paperwork and patrols. Hearing the door open she saw her tall boyfriend enter, hood over his eyes as he let out a sigh, stretching as he felt his body being encased by his girlfriend “Hello butterfly how was your day” His low voice spoke out as she gave him a bright smile “It was nice heaving the day off but i missed you Tama” she pouted as he gave her a chuckle, kissing her forehead “I missed you too, the office was a bore without my adorable secretary” Moving into their shared apartment Tamaki saw food already laid out in front of him “I ran you some bath water too” [ ] called out as she rounded the wall separating the kitchen and living room “Y-you didn't have to do that love im-” A finger silenced his pleas “Let me take care of you okay? You need your rest and i didnt want you to worry about anything coming home except relaxing and cuddling with me okay?” [ ] said as she stood on her tippy toes, kissing the top of his cheek “Tamaki Amajiki we have been doing this for years, won't you please let me love you without trying to outdo me ; you deserve it, you're a wonderful hero, you're my hero and eventually...you'll be our family hero..once we have one..” She trailed off as he stared at her, watching a sadden face appear over her features. Shaking it off as soon as it had appeared she gave him another smile “Its alright. There's no rush, i'm here for the long haul , me and you okay?” she said as she let his face go , heading to the couch “Now go go, hurry up before the food gets cold.” She teased as he gave her a soft look, coming over to kiss her cheek “Okay i wont argue butterfly”
These little things stuck with him, her caring ways, cooking for him, cleaning his office while hed be gone, even doing some of his paperwork while he was on parole. He loved her so much and enjoyed all of the little things here and there she did for him. He ddi the same, and each time made her cry, not out of being upset but for how caring he was to her. Bringing her roses, making sure she didnt have to cook if he could help it, spa days and doing more crafts and bonding with her whenever they could. But he realized while she helped him with so much he felt like he struggled. She struggled with her own issues too, similar to his. Sometimes she felt like she wasnt enough, she had her own anxieties and could get in a sup when she felt inadequate, unlovable and unwanted. But to him, to tamaki he loved everything about her, and she was one of the strongest people he knew. He felt motivated and glad to have her as the one he wished to marry , to have kids with, to start a family. But that also broke his heart when the topic came up she did usually didnt talk much about it, happily making plans but going back on them by saying ‘if i was a good mother’ She didnt want to dissapoint their future kids, didnt want to be a lacking mother or wife. As usual Tamaki came home, but htis time he went past the wonderful smelling food in the kitchen and to their bedroom, his cute girlfriend wrapped up in a blanket “How are you feeling butterfly?” He asked as she gave him a smile, reaching over to hug him “Im oaky! Just a bit overwhelmed is all, im sorry i passed out during the meeting..” She said as she gave him a hurt look before continuing “I shouldve tried harder to stay and present with you i-” Before she could finish he gave her a kiss, stopping her words “You needed rest. Im still surprised you got up to cook, did you at least take a nap love?” He asked as she shook her head , causing him to smile “Good. i love you butterfly and i woudnt change that for the world” he said as she smiled, giving him a hug “I’d hope so” She giggled as he pouted “Never doubt my love for you [ ], no matter what im gonna be here, i promise okay?” he said as she nuzzled the boy, kissing his nose “ And i for you Tamaki”
February came in , the happy couple had started up to take more time off to do more things and enjoy eachothers presence in the month of love. As the days went by Tamaki noticed [ ] was having odd days. From sleeping long hours of the day to just crying randomly, he knee something was wrong. Coming from the store he heard sobbing from their bathroom. Terrified , he tried to enter only feeling the door being locked “[ ] baby whats wrong? Can i come in?” with no response he nervously knocked again. “[ ] please...whats wrong” He pleaded as the door unclicked, showing his still beautiful but tear stained cheeked girl. “T-tama..” She cried as she just jumped into his arms, scaring the indigo haired boy “Baby are you okay?” he asked as she took in a breath before smiling sadly “Y-yeah i am..” She said as he picked her up, taking them into the living room. “I love you..and whatever is making you feel like this..if i can help let me okay?” Tamaki said as [ ] shook her head, placing it into his shoulder as they fell asleep.
Every day from her breakdown Tamaki came to her office with a rose, ate lunch with her and made sure she was hydrated and well. Once the week of valentines day came up, he had his plan set in motion. He had their schedules fixed, the week off for themselves as they did different things. A spa day the first day, a picnic the next, shopping at an expensive store for clothes. Then an art day where they drew (or tried to ) eachother and made art fro and about the other. Once the day of Valentines came however, it was different. It started with them taking a shower together, Tamaki cooking breakfast in bead for [ ] as they talked through the morning. Tamaki told her the outfits they ha gotten the days prior was for tonight which gave [ ] the jitters. She was excited for what her pro hero boyfriend had instore for them. Once they got to the restaurant all eys were on them. [ ]’s long black dress falttereed tamakis white suit and black bow tie. The two of them sat and started to eat, coversating with some fans who so happend to be around thwm. One was a small girl with wide hopeful eyes. She came to the couple with her mom in toe “Im so sorry to interrupt you two, my daughter wouldnt let mt husband and me rest until she came over to you guys” the wmoan laughed, causing bothe members to smile “Hello there how are you?” Tamaki asked the girl as she stepped from behind her mother “ H-hi my name is Shiemi a-and i really like you suneater!” The small girl said , causing [ ] , Tamaki and her mom to smile “Why thank you Shiemi, i hope im a good hero for you” Tamaki responded as the little girl shook her head “The best! Youre so cool. A-and your wife is pretty like mama! I like you dress miss suneater” The girl said , causing [ ] to stutter as she sipped her water “O-oh why thank you Shiemi but Im-” before she could continue she saw her boyfriend give the woman and her daughter a wide smile “She is, inst she?” He said as he turned to [ ] , moving from his chair “Tama what are you-” [ ] asked again as he leaned to the little girls ear , then to the mothers as they both gave him a smile, the woman happily shaking her head as her daughter followed the hero. Confused, [ ] watched as he picked the little girl up, putting her atop of the bar table “Hey everyone! Suneater has an announcement!” she yelled as most people turned around or to the table in the middle of the room, watching and smiling at the energetic child and pro hero “In fact I do, [ ] would you mind standing?” Tamaki asked as she gave him a wide eyed look, standing as he gave her a smile, extending and hand to her as she joined his side
“H-hey guys , as you know um..this si my lovely girlfriend and partner [ ]” He started as she gave everyone in the room a wary smile, her face feeling hot as he continued “ Ive known her for years, and weve been dating for some of those, she's seen me through thick and thin, helped me out in a pinch and made me feel like the strongest man alive, well next to almight…” he whispered as some of the people laughed, more paying them attention “And through all of this….i could think of a more beautiful and right person to spend the rest of my life with” And with the the young child handed the now kneeling man a ring as some whooped and hollered, others recording as both [ ] and the girls mother had tears in their eyes “[ ] [ ], the love of my life, my butterfly, i couldnt think of a more beautiful person inside and out to be with, will you give me the honor and make me the happiest man on this earth to be my wife?” He asked as the ring was revealed, diamond glistening as his own tear filled eyes looked to hers. Thinking her voice would fail her she shook her head yes, causing the room to yell as she had her ring put on her finger , jumping to hug her standing fiance as they hugged and cried, video of the engagement spreading as he thought to himself ‘I can now have my family, my endless love with you my dear butterfly’
As their wedding came , all of their friends and family came, including the new found friends of the young Shiemi and her parents. The ceremony went though flawlessly, Shiemi being their flower girl as the newlyweds ran down the easel , heading for their limo as they herded for the reception. The family spoke on how happy they were from their marriage, friends giving their comments on how they knew the couple would get married as the couple laughed at some stories and comments about their relationship. The night ended with so much love and joy for the new couple, startint their life together\
Two years went by before valentines day came again, three years to the day he had proposed arrived. Happily and ready to celebrate Tamaki woke up to his wife missing, hearing her fumble in the bathroom. Heading to the room he was shocked to she her in a disarray , eyes foggy as she met his “Tama...i have a surprised” She said as her teras fell down her face. Confused and still a bit tired , he gave her a look as she handed him a blue and while stick. The word pregnant snapped him awake as more tears started to fall, handing him two and three more all with the same small but powerful word “Im..gonna be a dad?” He asked as she smiled, shaking her head as she hugged the trembling girl “T-tama i'm gonna be a mom..what if i'm not good enough…” She sobbed as he cooed her, kissing her lips as his tears fell with hers “You're gonna be great Butterfly, i promise, you're gonna be so so great” He said as his heart swelled feeling her lips against his ‘This...This is forever , a love i wished for...and i couldn't have asked for more of a way to live my life...i love you butterfly’

Happy little hcs to atone for my sins
Taka and Hina are study buddies
Sometimes Aoi manages to get Taka off track because she’s just so enthusiastic and wants to hear about all of her friends’ hyperfixations and special interests
37.2 minutes later
Taka’s infodumping about how he despises moral philosophy but also thoroughly enjoys it bc that’s how moral philosophers are
Or he’s infodumping about political science and debate tactics and how speeches were effective or not for various reasons
Sakura and Mondo work out together
It started off as a coincidence when they were in the gym at the same time but it kept happening so they called it a schedule
They talk about their SOs and they’re smiling
Sakura teaches Mondo certain stretches and exercises to help relax different muscle groups for whenever he pulls a muscle or has a flare up from the thing with the bikes
Leon constantly asks Chihiro to turn alter ego into a vocaloid or at least program a bit of that tech into their system
Bc he would rather shave his head again than talk to Sayaka about producing music
He just has so many ideas
And it’s cool when there are kinda punk rock songs that are covered in an 8-bit or a vocaloid style
Byakuya and Celeste have a small series of bets with low stakes about what their inferiors classmates will do to lead up to them jingling away morosely like the fools they are
Sayaka shamelessly advertises her group’s mercy to her classmates and friends
Everyone gets their nails painted at some point
Nobody knows how Byakuya got roped into it but it worked
Makoto has rainbow loom
Atua forgives you
anyway YEAH LEGIT?
Hina has fully and thoroughly fallen in love with all of her friends and classmates’ expressions whenever they’re talking about something that excites them omg 🥺
she sees someone rambling and having a good time and hears the enthusiastic pitch of their voice as well as the general Vibe™️ that they’re giving off and she just???? [Y E A R N]
Tumblr media
:)
and also just???? her and taka being study buddies is so valid oh my god??? they’re really close because of it!!! And Taka always loves hanging out with her because he knows she’ll let him just Talk??? and he adores that about her????? And she’ll be ENGAGED which!!!!!! oh my god!!!!?????
hi in this house we love and adore hina
And Sakura and Mondo???? absolutely?????
they have friendly competitions over who can lift the most weights/do the most reps/etc. (they do it sparingly, ofc! bc Sakura at least knows that they’ll both be subconsciously trying to beat the other as opposed to listening to what their bodies need in the moment. Sakura is the single braincell of class 78 no I won’t take it back because it’s true)
and they totally doooooo like they both get such cute loveydovey pining expressions whenever it’s Their Turn™️ to discuss the latest cute thing their partner(s) did. and listening to the other talking???? oh my god it’s literally the neatest thing????
Sakura looking at Mondo: I would die for this man
Mondo looking at Sakura: this woman is literally beauty and perfection in human form
THEY’RE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS OKAY???
also chihiro joins them for training sometimes!!!! She obviously isn’t able to do as much as the other two are, but both Sakura and Mondo are always so proud of her progress??? They’re like “you are so cool and strong do you know that??? you better know that”
and speaking of chihiro hdbdvdvdvdvdvdvdvd on GOD Leon will Not leave them alone abt it and they’re just like
“y....you do NOT have the attention span,.......you’re gonna get frustrated within like the first five minutes......and then I’ll have done all that work for nothing..............”
but Leon’s >:( no I won’t!!!! music is my Passion!!!!!!!!
so it’s like *sigh* okay
and anyway leon genuinely does rlly like it???? like he gets burned out very easily and can only compose things in short bursts, but he’s always so so so proud of the finished products??? (Even if nobody else likes it but shush 😌)
and it makes chihiro :D to know that something she made (even if it was done with reluctance) has brought one of her closest friends so much happiness????? she’s also like good for Leon but also if he ever bothers them about something like that again they are Literally Going to Snap but that’s another story for another day vwv
AND YEAH LIKE. HE DOESN’T MIND TALKING TO HER ABT MUSIC IN GENERAL BECAUSE IT’S AN INTEREST THEY SHARE (quite possibly one of the only times they will have a conversation without one constantly insulting the other ❤️) BUT. ADMITTING TO HER THAT HE NEEDS HELP WITH IT IS THE WORST HE HATES IT HE HATES IT HSBDBSBD
god okay so. his first impression of her when they had just come to hope’s peak and met for the first time was “oh my god!!! she’s a pop idol!!! so she must know a lot about music!!! maybe she’ll help me become a popular musician!!!” and her immediate reaction when she first heard him ask was to literally roll her eyes and he was like oh okay fuck her actually
and then slow burn enemies-to-friends 💛
WHEBDVSVS CELESTE AND BYAKUYA JUST BEING RICH ASSHOLES IS SO FUNNY??? LIKE THEY HAVE WEALTH SOLIDARITY AND THEY ACT ALMOST LIKE alright your status makes you worthy of my time, I suppose-
they’ve had bets on everything from how many times kirigiri will pass out from exhaustion by the end of the school day, to how long it’ll take before Kirumi finally Loses Her Shit, to how many people will be harmed by Komaeda’s luck while hanging out with him.
Mfs about to die smh
and dhdbwvwbsvwvwb yeah like??? sometimes a normal conversation with maizono will turn into her being like “yeah, and by the way, if you’re looking for a change of style and wardrobe, you should check out the newest shirt my band just released as part of our merch drop, and-”
Makoto is the one who gets baited into her merch ads most often sndbsbsbdbdbw
even mentioning the word “merch” around Leon or Kaz will earn her a lot of groaning and sighing, and occasionally a pillow or other soft object being hurled at her face 💛
oh my god they all have a manicure spa day,,,,,,,class bonding 🥺
hdbdvdvdv they got Jill to break into his dorm and kidnap him ngl like the specifics they gave her were something along the lines of “use as much force as you need to without killing him” and she was like “DONE”
and okay I’m not gonna talk abt everyone’s nails but now I’m thinking about it and like-
Sayaka gets like a lighter violet background with gold and white stars smattered around them, more concentrated in some areas than others, and it’s generally very pretty 🥺
chihiro’s are a different solid pastel color on each finger!!! it’s very kidcore and fun and they love it so muchhhh!!!
leon gets a little self-conscious when it’s his turn because his nails are highkey disgusting from all the time he spends playing baseball - there’s dirt trapped under them and everything so he’s just like hhhhhhh anxiety go brrrr but anyway he gets solid black because he’s edgy and cool like that 😎
I think Taka gets a French manicure with little dark red flowers pressed towards the tips because!!! simple yet pretty!!!
Celeste probably takes the longest because her request is sooooo complicated like it’s black and red and long ass acrylics with overlapping patterns and everyone else just kinda sits there feeling h o r r i b l e for that poor nail stylist
Toko gets a checkerboard pattern, with each nail having a different neon color in place of white!!! Because she knows that Jill will find it cool and pretty and colorful the next time she fronts (visual stimming jill?? 👀)
Togami just picks whatever will get him out of the chair quickest hdbsvdvdvdbdbdb
anyway Makoto????? rainbow loom????? absolutely
he has so many bracelets!!!!! so many so many so many and he knows how to create such a wide variety of styles it’s so cool!!!!!! he wears a bunch of them at any given time because they are so fun to fidget with!!!! and rubber texture hvvvvhvv!!!!
and he creates personalized ones for his friends, too, like he knows their favorite colors and sometimes picks up on whether they prefer a certain style or not from the way they react to the other ones he’s made and it’s!!! just so neat!!!!!
I’m thinking about it and!!! he has a bi pride fishtail, a trans pride arrow stitch, a black and neon green railroad, a pastel pink/blue/purple/yellow ladder, a jelly yellow and green dragon scale, a rainbow double cross, and a bunch more!!! he also has a bunch with charms and beads added into them!!!!
He also makes them for his friends even if he knows they won’t wear them!! Like Toko, for example, isn’t the biggest fan of jewelry because she doesn’t like the texture, but he creates one for her anyway and fills it with so much love (it looks like a daisy chain!!!! because at least she’ll be able to look at it and hold it and still be interested in it without it needing to be on her wrist!!!)
he makes a ton of bright colored ones for Mukuro (usually either single or inverted fishtail because he knows she wouldn’t enjoy wearing anything too heavy or overbearing) so that she has more mobile visual stims!!!
similar for Jill!! although most of hers tend to be black and bright neon rainbow in various bulkier styles!!!! Jill will also force him to let her look at his bracelet-covered arm whenever they hang out because. my god,,,,,,so many Colors™️
he’s found that togami prefers black and white simpler styles, and that Kyoko absolutely adores singles, fishtails, and double fishtails in any shade of purple, and that Mondo likes any of the larger styles in darker colors + blacks and grays!!! Chihiro loves anything with jelly and glitter bands!!!
Leon usually only wears one at a time, but he cycles through every single one that his boyfriend’s ever made for him because????? GOD they’re so cool and his boyfriend is so crafty and incredible and just,,,,,,,,,hvvvhvv every time he looks at the one he’s wearing he’s able to calm himself down and remember that Makoto loves him........it’s also very good for stim and fidgeting <3
anyways sorry yes Makoto with a rainbow loom is filling me with serotonin and it’s canon now

Human(ish) form: very skinny, no horns or wings, still has the scales, wears the same finger armour as in her demon form but without the gloves, hoodies or fluffy jumpers and leggings or sweatpants depending on how she feels, and a necklace Levi bought for her at a Comic Con as a sign of friendship.
Obsessions/habits: Can have severe body issues at times as it reminds her of how she died, this is what most of her breakdowns are based on, very protective of people she cares about, can overthink a lot, if nervous she’ll either bite her lip or mess with her hands (e.g. tapping, wringing her hands, cracking her knuckles), if she’s wearing a necklace or jewellery she’ll mess with that or her hair, will absorb herself in music or games when she’s upset, can verbally and emotionally blow up if she’s pushed too far, is also pretty self conscious about her height as compared to most demons she is very small due to her originally being a human.
Sweet spot/Sensitive place: Top of her head and behind her ears - she will start purring like a cat, very ticklish, will punch or try to freeze whoever is tickling her unless they are very close (e.g. Mammon, Astro*, Hiris**). 
Talents: Musician, very talented vocalist, good at comforting people when they're having bad days and cheering them up, not afraid to stand up for herself and other, can be quite terrifying at times, notices small details pretty often, can read body language and pick up on details of a person's attitude, personality and actions
Faults/sins: Envy and Pride, as those are what killed her, severe body issues, has a tendency of putting others above her own wellbeing, inner conflict of wanting to be perfect and knowing that is self destructive, a bit of a people pleaser,
Special skills/powers: Water magic, calming voice.
Music taste: Very wide, varies from jazz/swing to modern pop, film and game soundtracks to classical music, rock to musicals. The only kind of music she doesn't particularly like is reggae.
Personality: Kind, a little overprotective, a 'mum' friend to anyone she cares about, not afraid to speak her mind, will stand up for others, tough outside, soft inside.
Nicknames: RuRu (Mammon), Treasure (Mammon), Player 3 (Levi), Water Witch, Ice Queen/Ice Witch/Snow Witch, White Witch 
Backstory key points: Grew up in a family of musicians, was heavily praised throughout her life, grew envious of other musicians she thought were better than her, which led to her practicing almost constantly with no breaks. Died of starvation, dehydration and exhaustion. Was reborn in the Devildom as a demon of Envy and Pride. Met Levi at a Comic Con - they literally ran into each other, Levi in Lord of Shadows cosplay, Ru in Female Henry cosplay on her way to perform on stage, they bonded after the performance. Stayed in contact online for a while before meeting up in cosplay a few times, then to hang out as friends. Levi eventually brought her back to HOL to play games, where she was introduced to his brothers.
Animal theme: Feathered dragon/bald eagle
Relations to other characters:
Lucifer: Heavy dislike because of how harsh he can be to his brothers, especially Mammon. Will tolerate him though. Will quote musicals and sometimes Shakespeare to casually insult him. Will only lash out if he says something that might hurt someone, as a reminder that maybe he shouldn’t be so tough on those around him. 
Mammon: Love interest (ignore this if you don’t like OCs shipped with canon characters). Bonded after she first came home with Levi, she saw how, despite being talked down to by his brothers, he kept supporting them no matter what insults they threw at him. Very supportive of him and comforts him whenever she can.
Levi: Best friend (one of), was the first of the brothers she met, thinks he's funny and likes it when he starts rambling about things he likes, joins in at times, wants to help him with his insecurities.
Satan: Mutual respect for how much they both annoy Lucifer. Happy to talk about books and musicals with him. Tries to reassure him that he is not Lucifer 2.0
Asmo: Best friend (one of). Gossip, music and shopping buddies. Likes spending spa days together. Very supportive of her whenever she has a body image breakdown. Tries to calm her down when she's angry at Lucifer, but won't physically get in the way. 
Beel: Friends, he makes sure she has food if she's going through one of her body image episodes (was told by Mammon and Asmo), tries to comfort him when he's worried about what's happening between his brothers. Will frequently bake things for him and his brothers.
Belphie: Like Satan, mutual respect for how much they annoy Lucifer. Happy to lie about and just chill with him.
MC: Mother figure. Very protective of them and will defend them from anyone who wishes them harm, including the brothers. Makes sure they're alright as much as she can. Has a pact with them so they can call her whenever they need her.
Diavolo: Respects him. Understands he has a lot going on so will give help when asked, but most of the time will leave him be. Very grateful towards him due to him helping her get settled in the Devildom when she arrived after her death.
Barbatos: A little afraid of him because of his time related abilities. Tries to keep on his good side as much as she can.
Simeon: A bit of a fan, since he's the author of TSL, one of her favourite series. Holds him in very high regards, very happy to talk with him. Has offered to collaborate with him if he needs music for future films/episodes.
Luke: Considers herself a bit of a mother figure to him. Looks after him when he's upset, happy to bake with him as much as he wants.
Solomon: A little skeptical of him, considering the 72 pacts he has with demons and his magical ability. One of the few people she struggles to read.
Astro*: Best friend (one of). Will team up with her to stand up to Lucifer. Protective of one another, will gladly cause chaos together.
Hiris**: Best friend (one of). A little jealous at times because she still has some family, but overall similar relationship as between Ru and Astro. Will gladly try to satisfy her curiosity and listens to her stories a lot.
Role: Student, vocalist and musician at multiple clubs
Family: None, doesn’t know what happened to her human parents or siblings after she died, barely remembers them at all.
Extra facts:
Will use her water magic both to help herself and others to calm down after a bad day and also to trap anyone she wants to 'talk' to - will freeze their legs and shoes to the ground so they can't move (usually Lucifer or people who decide to verbally or physically attack one of her friends)
Will buy Mammon or Levi something from Akuzon without them knowing whenever they've had a bad day to cheer them up
Will cause water based inconveniences targeted at Lucifer if she wants a more subtle way of annoying him after he's given someone (usually Mammon) a too severe punishment - e.g. burst pipe in his bathroom, frozen drink when he's starting to overstep his boundaries (even when she's not in the room, has a codeword with Mammon for him to send to her if he ever feels like Lucifer is talking down to him too much), bucket of water is accidentally knocked over and it spills on him, water goes cold when he's having a shower and will not reheat (Lucifer knows its her but has no way to prove it as she's never actually seen doing it unless she wants to be seen, only MC, Hiris and Astro know that Ru has the HOL pipe system memorized so she knows which pipe goes to which room)
Most presents she gives that haven't been bought on Akuzon are either made with her water magic or tickets to concerts she has managed to get through a few connections (the latter is usually for Levi)
Can and will come up with the most creative insults she can
Is an ace at rhythm games
Has sung duets with Asmo/accompanied Asmo on several instruments 
Hates horror movies 
Always carries two flasks: one of water so she always has access to something to use for her powers, and one of pineapple juice to help soothe her throat. 
Has let Asmo style her several times for concerts - including the time with the suit and corset.
Loves swimming
Is bisexual
Ship facts (please disregard this if you don’t like OCs shipped with canon characters):
Often persuades Mammon to do shows/concerts with her as a way to make him feel better and to get back at his brothers
Mammon has persuaded her to do multiple modelling sessions with him.
Also uses the concerts she knows Mammon will be watching as a way to flirt with him - has worn a suit and corset with heeled boots to do this before.
Has kissed Mammon on stage multiple times.
Has Mammon saved as MonMon on her DDD 
*Astro belongs to one of my friends (will update if I find them on Tumblr)
**Hiris belongs to @storypanda88

What about me?
Concept: request where ruel becomes a jealous lil bean because you’re spending all your time with Kate Sylvie, and Coco instead of him and it gets all cute. As usual hit my line for requests and I’ll be happy to comply!(Sorry if this is really fucking long lmao) Hope you enjoy :)
I sit in the Van Dijk living room, laughing along with my favorite girls as we have yet another girls night filled with junk food and endless conversation, one of many held over the past two weeks. I lean my head against sylvie as I listen to Kate tell another story about what it was like for her growing up, truly intrigued by some of the things that she’s seen and gone through. I heard shuffling coming from the staircase, causing me to turn my head and see my beautiful boy make his way towards me. He slowly drags himself to me, wrapping his arms around my neck and shoulders from the back of the couch. I lean into him and tilt my head up to see his face, watching as he looks down at me with a little frown.
“When’re you coming to bed? It’s already 12:30 love” he mumbles out, a little bit of a whine to his voice. I let out a small laugh before reaching up to caress his cheek, smiling at the way he adorably leans into my hand, knowing he’s been a little off lately.
“I know but we’re just talking and watching some movies, why don’t you head to bed without me and I’ll join you in a little bit?” I question, watching him roll his eyes a little before nodding his head and planting a kiss on my forehead. The girls watch him silently, all trying to not laugh at how clingy and grumpy he gets when he’s tired.
“Goodnight baby, goodnight mom, and goodnight fuckers” Ruel mutters out, causing Coco and Sylvie to let out matching scoffs all while holding smirks on their faces, loving when their brother doesn’t get his way. He glares at them before making his way back upstairs and into his bedroom. I turn back to them and restart the conversations we were having with each other.
Time passed with more shared laughs and snacks, before we all slowly started to get tired from our night of bonding since it was already nearing 2. We all hugged and said our goodnight before heading to our respective rooms, mine being Ruels. I softly open the door and step in, trying not to wake him, only to see him laying there with his phone screen lighting up the dark space. I shuffle my way to his closet and slip off my clothes, trading them for one of his shirts, slowly making my way back to his bed.
I climb into the bed and turn to face him, laying on my side as he lays flat on his back scrolling through Instagram. He stays silent as he scrolls through his phone, making no moves to cuddle me like he usually would. I reach my hand out and place it against his cheek, waiting to see if I’ll get a reaction from him. He lets out a quiet hum, lightly turning his head to press a kiss to the center of my palm before leaning his face back into it.
Feeling sleepy I softly rub my eyes before scooting a little down on the bed, pushing my head underneath his arm that was resting over his chest as he held his phone with the other arm. I can see him look down at me, as I let the arm rest on top of me, curling my body into his as much as I can. He rests his hand in my hair, softly coming through it before pressing a small kiss to the crown of my head, still scrolling through his socials. I fall asleep to the quiet whisper of “I love you” from him, feeling the way his arms tighten around me as he finally puts his phone away and holds me.
I wake up to sunlight beaming in through the curtains, watching as it lights up Ruels bare skin, making him glow gold. I let out a sigh of pure content, running my fingers through his hair, feeling him grip me tighter as he slowly woke up. He squints his eyes open, watching me for a few seconds before fully shifting onto his back and pulling me on top of him. I let out a laugh as he does so, resting my hands against his shoulders, my face above his. He leans up and presses a light kiss on my lips before laying back down and giving me a lazy grin.
“You look really pretty right now, you always look stunning, but for some reason this light is making you absolutely breathtaking darlin” he sleepily states, giving me the boyish grin that he knows makes my heart stop. I feel my face heat up at his compliment before pressing a kiss to his nose, having not had a soft moment like this with him in the last two weeks. He just watches me for a few more seconds with nothing but love in his eyes, which I know is completely reciprocated in mine. Our peaceful silence is broken when his door gets thrown open, Coco standing in the threshold with a giant grin on her face.
“Hey beauty and the beast, don’t forget about our plans today babes, so ready for this spa day! We’re taking off in 30 since it’s already 10:30” she all but shrieks out, skipping out of the room and closing the door behind her. I feel Ruel tense up underneath me when he hears her statement. I sit up and straddle his abdomen, looking down at him with a frown, wondering why he looks so upset. He avoids eye contact and instead just shifts his hands to rest softly on my thighs, completely shifting back into the touchy and distant attitude he’s held with me the past few days.
“What’s wrong bubs? You seem to be a little moody lately” I softly question, knowing he struggles a bit when getting put on the spot. He frowns even more, slightly gripping my things and rubbing his thumbs across them. I wait with a soft look on my face, giving him time to open up so that he can do so while not feeling rushed.
“You’re going out with my sisters and mom again?” He mutters, the frown still placed onto his face, slightly deepening as he questions me. Feeling perplexed I tilt my head to the side, wondering what that has to do with anything.
“Yeah, we wanted to have a girls spa day, just to relax and have fun together” I state, watching as his frown deepens. He lets out a slight scoff, setting me next to him on the bed so that I’m no longer on him, before getting up and heading to the closet, completely ignoring the hand that I reach out to grab his. I watch him with a now matching frown, hurt by his passive aggression with me. I sit there silently as he changes, waiting for him to say something. He turns back to me and walks over, filling me with hope, before going straight past me to his phone to disconnect it from the charger. He proceeds to walk to the door before I call out to him, completely freezing him in his tracks.
“What’s going on with you?” I softly mumble, watching as he turns back to me and makes his way over. He leans down and presses a soft but barely there kiss to my head before walking back to the door, pausing and turning to tell me something.
“Nothing’s going on, have fun with the girls. Love you.” He states in a blank tone, shutting the door before I can even reply to him. I sit there in silence with watery eyes, wondering what’s made him so distant with me. I shrug it off, deciding I’m not going to let his attitude ruin my day, and change into my comfy spa outfit. I head downstairs seeing the girls waiting for me, completely walking past Ruel, who’s sitting at the counter eating. They watch the way his eyes follow my every move and the way I ignore him with confused glances, causing me to shrug at them.
“Ready to go ladies? It’s time to partyyy” I sing out throwing my hands up as they all get over what just happened and cheer with me. We double check to make sure we all have our phones and stuff on us, before deciding to leave. As we’re leaving, we call out to Ralph so he knows we’re taking off, and then the atmosphere shifts once the attention is put on Ruel. He stands there eating, looking up when he feels their gazes on him, he gives a small wave as they tell him bye. They watch silently as I say nothing to him, giving him the choice to either say something or keep being a dick.
“Love you, be safe.” He mutters in a clipped tone, heading towards the living room where Ralph is, not giving me the usual kiss and hug he always does when I leave. I roll my eyes at his snotty behavior before turning to the door, completely disregarding what he said, watching as the girls and Ruel, who hasn’t entered the living room yet, stare at me in slight shock. Having never seen me not reply to his “i love you” before. I make it partially out the door, stopping to turn around for one second, not being able to do it.
“I love you too.” I quietly state, watching him nod his head before joining his dad. We all walk out to the car and get in, sitting in a slightly tense atmosphere. Them being confused but not wanting to question it in fear of ruining the mood, and me just being hurt by the attitude of the boy I love.
“Is everything okay? What was that about?” Coco softly questions as we start to head to the spa, with music softly playing on the radio. I sit there silently for a second, trying to think of what to say about the situation.
“I honestly don’t know. He’s been weird the past like week but today he’s just been an ass to me. He’s being super clipped and passive with me, when I’ve done nothing” I rant out, completely frustrated that I can’t figure out what’s going on in his mind. They all sit there pondering what could be going on with him, but all come up blank, having never seen him act this way with me.
“Honestly fuck that, today we are going to enjoy ourselves, no boy is going to ruin our day” Coco shouts with a fist in the air, causing all of us to laugh at her wild attitude. We get to the spa, check in, and head to the changing rooms, and putting on what they tell us to. We all go into the sauna, just relaxing and letting all of the stress leave our bodies, before rinsing off and heading to the rooms we have assigned. Coco and I head into a room, while Kate and Sylvie head into another, getting ready for the massages we have scheduled.
As we lay down and get massaged, Coco turns her head to face me with the same perplexed look she had earlier. She asks me about the situation and I tell her everything I can think of that’s happened the last two weeks that have been off, more so the last couple days that have been really off. She nods and listens, adding things every now and then as we try to brainstorm a solution or reason for everything. We head out of the room once we’re done and go straight to the mani/pedi area, showing the workers what we’d like, before sitting in the seats adjacent to Sylvie and Kate. We talk as we get our nails done, laughing and completely relaxing. As time goes by and they finish our nails, they lead us into the final area which makes Coco shout with glee.
“Free food!” She shouts, walking over to the trays set up for us, turning to us with stars practically filling her eyes. We all sit down and enjoy the complimentary food and champagne, before finally heading back to change and leave. As we take off, we decide to make a pit stop at some of the local shops, since Kate said she saw the absolute prettiest dress that she wanted me to try on. We hang around for a bit before deciding to head back to their house, seeing as it was already getting a little dark outside. I check my phone as we near the house, seeing it flash 5:15 at me, filling me with hope that he’s gotten his attitude together since we’ve been apart the whole day.
We walk in and head to the living room, watching as Ruel looks up and decides to depart and head up into his room. The rest of the family watches me in silence, as I turn and give them a soft sad smile, before telling them I’m going to head up after him. They all nod and let me leave, watching as I walk upstairs with my head turned down. I enter the room to see the bathroom door shut and the sound of light humming fill the air. I close the door and sit at the edge of the bed, waiting for him to come out.
He finally comes out of the bathroom and freezes upon seeing me, giving me a blank stare before turning to head back out the door. I let out a scoff, completely pissed that he’s being so childish, watching as his body tenses up at the sound. He slowly spins around and watches me with slightly guarded eyes.
“Do you have something to say” he questions in a low tone, staring me straight in the eyes with a look I couldn’t quite decipher. I stare at him incredulously, not believing that those are the words he chooses to say.
“Are you fucking with me right now?” I snap out, crossing my arms over my chest to stop my hands from shaking, not wanting him to know how bothered I am. He rolls his eyes and opens the door to leave, causing my eyes to well up at the fact that he’s not even going to try and talk to me, and at the fact that we’ve never fought before.
“Ruel why are you mad at me... if I did something wrong you can tell me.” I mumble out to him insecurely, playing with the promise ring on my finger, feeling unsure on if he’ll reply or just leave. I hear him sigh before he makes his way over to stand in front of me, standing in between my legs. He tilts my head up with two of his fingers, looking sad as he sees the tears that fill my eyes, knowing they were put there by his actions. He gives me a soft look before leaning down to lift me up, causing my to bury my head in the crook of his neck, and wrap my legs around his waist. He moves to put us on the bed, with him leaning against the headboard, while I lay against him, still wrapped around him.
“I’m not mad at you, I’m just hurt. I feel like all you’ve done the past couple weeks is hangout with them and then only spend time with me real late at night, which doesn’t count since we’re asleep. I just feel sad that you’ve rejected all the times I’ve hinted at spending time together to just continuously be with them. I don’t want to be clingy, but I’m tired and just need you, especially since tour just ended and it took a lot out of me to be on the road for so long and give as much of myself as I could to make my fans happy night after night. Like you give everyone else so much attention... but what about me?” He rants out with his voice cracking, rubbing his hands tiredly down his face, as I sit up on his lap, giving him a heartbroken look.
“No, Ruel I love you so much, I didn’t mean to make you feel that way. I just got caught up in all the plans they were making, that I didn’t even think about how you felt. You needed me and I wasn’t there for you. I didn’t see any of your hints and advances, I made you feel alone.” I softly cry out, now seeing how it all made sense, how it actually was all me. He gives me a soft smile before leaning in to give me a kiss, pulling away to wipe to tears off my face.
“No crying baby, it’s not your fault. I should have been straight up with you and told you what I wanted, not just have expected you to know, and I definitely shouldn’t have been such a dick to you. You’re perfect and deserve all the love and respect in the world, I’m sorry for hurting your feelings bubba” he whisper into my ear and he hugs me, I squeeze him against me, letting him lay me down against the bed, situating himself on top of me so that his head rests against my chest. I softly comb my fingers through his hair, smiling as he grabs my other hand and presses a kiss to it, trying to communicate the mutual love we have for one another.
“I love you.” He whispers, looking up at me in complete adoration. I cup his face with my palm before giving him a little grin. Watching the way he leans into my palm and stares at me as if he was seeing the sun for the first time, in complete and utter awe. Leaving me breathless for a few seconds before I can reply to him.
“I love you too bubs, I’m happy we got over this and we’re able to be back on track, I hated fighting with you” I say watching him nod his head in complete agreement before laying back down, leaving us in a peaceful silence, filled with mutual love and understanding. I start to think about how I can avoid this problem in the future, before I let out a laugh realizing that Coco is the main reason I was busy lately since she made all the plans, then seeing Ruel lift his head to stare at me with a questioning look. I laugh even more as I look at his face, knowing how mad he’s going to be when I tell him why I can’t stop laughing.
“I can’t believe your headass got jealous of your own mom and sisters, like you got jealous over Coco fucking loser” I all but choke out, finally thinking about it fully, watching him glare at me. He grabs my waist and pulls my body down the bed, hovering over the top of me as tears stream down my face.
“Are you fucking done yet?” He groans out, watching as I literally roll side to side, not able to breathe from laughing at him. He pins my arms above me head and stares into my eyes, watching as I sober up, before staring at him for a second too long and getting set off again.
“That’s it babygirl. sorry not sorry asshole” he grumbles out as he lets go of my hands to place them on my waist, relentlessly tickling me as I cry out and yell for him to stop or I’ll pee on him and the bed. Downstairs the rest of the Van Dijks sit around on the couches, all smiling and chuckling at the sounds of laughter and shouting coming from us, glad we were able to move on from the bump in the road we had faced.
He finally stops tickling me, laying flat on the bed with me against him, head on his chest and hands entwined, listening to his steady heartbeat and slow breathing. I smile softly as I think about how only his dumbass would get so jealous of his family and start a fight, rather than just talk to me about it. Feeling the smile against his chest he looks down at me, causing me to tilt my head up with puckered lips, wanting a kiss after all the torture he put me through. He laughs and gives me a light peck before pulling away, causing me to let out a whine. He smirks before leaning down and connecting our lips fully, in a slow but love filled kiss. Before the mini makeout session can last too long, I pull away from him, watching a smile form on his swollen red lips, before laying back down against him. Completely letting him cage me in his arms against his chest, bringing me the most peace I’ve felt all day, in the arms of my love.
He might be an idiot, but there’s no other tall jealous boy that I’d want to spend my life with.

MARCH PICKS!!!
Tumblr media
Life has gotten VERY crazy over the past couple of weeks (it feels more like months-time is irrelevant now). To escape watching the news again and again I have turned to TV and movies now more than ever. While some of these I watched at the start of the month, when life felt more normal, more have been added since “social distancing” and quarantine. But these are my top choices for the month overall. Some will seem familiar from my top Quarantine picks (check out that article if you’d like here) and that’s because many have been my recent watches. 
Spoilers ahead!
Tumblr media
LOCKE AND KEY
I cannot stop talking about this show. It is no way similar to this, but I feel like I have not loved a Netflix show like this since Derry Girls last year. This is the show I keep asking people if they have watched it and telling them to if they haven’t. So you should watch this show :)
Locke and Key follows the Locke family as they travel to their father’s ancestral estate after his tragic death. It is their mother’s idea and the three Locke siblings don’t want to leave their home in Seattle and find it tough accumulating to their new home and school. The youngest son, Body, is the first to hear these magical keys that lead to the larger mystery of this story. When I finished watching I had to quickly jot down my notes on the show. I am so happy that I looked at Netflix’s Top 10 list to decide what to watch next. I got hooked easily and while certain characters had annoying moments, in the end I really liked them and cannot wait to see how the story progresses in season 2. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS...... I knew Ellie was going to be “Dodge” in the last episode when she got thrown through the door. It was just too easy. There was still like 20 minutes of the show left and then when she yelled out Tyler. It just felt right, but I was not expecting Gabe to be the 3rd personality! This echo really knows how to manipulate people. And now Eden too! 
The idea of having magical keys and the different powers for each was really creative and something I would have never thought about. Lots of people have compared it to Stranger Things, Narnia and Stephen King novels, and while those are somewhat accurate there is so much more to it. Must check it out for yourself!  
Tumblr media
ONWARD
Before movie theaters closed (here in New York) I was lucky to see Onward in theaters. Even though I’ve already seen it, I am still very excited that it will be released to Disney Plus in a couple of weeks (days?) and is already available to buy digitally. 
Disney/Pixar had me guessing what this would be about for a while (like they usually do with their teaser trailers). But the more this was advertised, the more I got intrigued. It was a very cute film about the importance of family. Not just father and son, but also the bond of brothers. It took a slight turn I didn’t think we’d be taking, but am happy to see represented on the screen. I love all the moments the Dad did walking around (only a bottom half). It was pretty funny, especially when he had his top half on. I liked how they used a leash to keep track of him and how they communicated with him by tapping his feet. I think my favorite was the dancing though.  Super realistic with the whole driving thing and getting on the freeway. (When Barley says something about never being ready it felt very accurate.) I wish their dad could hear them though. I understand why he couldn’t, but still it would have been nice considering the ending. Loved the MOM POWER! She was fantastic. I loved her duo with the Manticore. I also liked how realistic it felt, well despite not having mystical creatures in our world. I liked how they focused on beings taking the easy way out and losing a piece of yourself and your history. I wish I could experience a quest like that.

THE LODGE SEASON 2
The Lodge is a Disney Channel UK show that I was lucky to watch the first season of back in 2016 or 2017 (it’s so long ago I can’t remember). I kept trying to find the second season after it didn’t air on our Disney Channel, but had no luck. That is until Disney Plus. It wasn’t one of the first shows to air on the streaming service, but since coming out in November, the 2 season Coming of Age Musical Tween show is FINALLY available. I was thrilled! (If you can’t already tell.)
Naturally I started by re-watching the 10 episode first season. Each episode is about 25 minutes long, so it was a fast watch. I forgot how well I knew the story-lines and overall plot. For those unfamiliar with the show, the first season follows Skye Hart who is traveling back to the countryside with her dad, Ed to work (and own) the family’s hotel called the Lodge. Her grandad has been managing it for years and needs some help. Also after the recent passing of Skye’s mum it is nice for them to head back to somewhere that was so special to her. (This seems to be a common thread this month. Compared to Locke and Key this is a lot brighter.) Of course, the Lodge is experiencing some money problems so they have to solve that issue and fast because one guy in particular wants to buy it and create a luxurious spa resort (classic bad guy stuff). Skye winds up being the star of a reality TV show called My Amazing Life, which brings the publicity, but more drama than she intended. The show is filled with the classic teen drama: from love triangles to secrets and there’s also a mystery plot involving her mom and a mysterious man with the initials SJ. A bonus is the musical component. In true musical form the songs are often performed in the moment when a character is feeling sad or happy, but there are also concert performances on the show as well. Some of the songs are quite good and ones that I can’t get out of my head. 
SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2
So, I definitely enjoyed the first season more than the second. Part of that was due to the plot. Obviously the Lodge was still not 100% solid, but I wanted to move past the money problems of the first season and explore some other stuff. (I don’t know what, but something else.) I also felt it was slower moving. While the episodes are about 25 minutes there isn’t much time to work with, but it often felt like we were still looking on a clue or hurtle for longer amounts of time then needed. I didn’t love the songs as much. Now as I am listening to some of them back I am liking more, but overall I thought season 1′s soundtrack was better. A lot of these songs sounded a like. I liked whenever Kaylee sang, but honestly thought she was singing the same song in a different version (now I know there’s about 3 different songs). Too much techno was used and lots of choreographed dancing that was at times strange. My biggest complaint was that Skye chose Sean over Ben, which was her biggest mistake. Throughout the season you could still see their chemistry in the looks they gave or moments that were said. (Her dad was the BIGGEST Team Ben fan.) But she only discovered it at the end when he was already with Danielle (wasn’t a fan of that ship either because of the way they rushed it). Even though there’s no season 3 (and it’s been years so it’s not coming) I will believe Skye and Ben are endgame. Because just look at them...

EMMA
Another one that the more I saw it advertised and read reviews, the more I wanted to watch it. I saw this in theaters after Onward, but just before major social distancing started. There were 5 of us total in the theater, which made it feel like out own personal home theater. Loved this movie a lot more than I thought I would. It paid homage to the novel really well as well as previous adaptations that came before it, yet still was recognizable as its own re-telling. For a full review check out my article: REVIEW EMMA (2020).

NANCY DREW
In the past few weeks (few episodes, actually) I have done a complete 360 with my opinion on the CW’s Nancy Drew. In this first season I was immediately intrigued to enter the mystery and explore a CW show without superheroes (which I honestly do love, but I like how the CW is expanding their shows again). In the fall I kept tuning in for new episodes, but as the season went on they would pile up on the DVR more. My main problem was the supernatural element. I didn’t understand why they had to have ghosts be real in this world. I wanted a classic mystery (I guess in the same vein as Scooby Doo, where the murderers were real people rather than a mystical entity). I started to get used to this element, but I didn’t love it. (This was the time when we had a lot of heavy supernatural material and possessions, etc.) My DVR didn’t tape episode 12, so I watched it through a YouTube review before watching the next one (you can see how much I cared then--now I would have opened the app and watched the episode for sure). The next episode was the Whisper Box, which was great, but it wasn’t until episode 14 that I truly fell in love with this show (and started to watch the episodes the day of). Part of it is definitely that I got used to the style of the show and also that parts of the mystery are starting to wrap up, but what I’m noticing is my main reason is Ace. His character continues to get more screen time and we continue to learn more about his life with every episode. I loved meeting his dad and seeing their relationship. His detective skills combined with Nancy are my favorite part about this show and I ship them so much now. He brings a humor to this show like saying he has enemies at the library. Nancy and Ace’s looks to each other as they read Lucy and Ryan’s emails while at the library. OMG the chemistry! If the writers don’t act on this relationship in later seasons, I don’t know what they are doing with themselves. It’s right there and yet Nancy has two other love interests right now. There’s been so many other things in the last few episodes and I am dying for this show to come back this upcoming week.  
I need more of these moments!!

PARTY OF FIVE
At the start of this month I had done a much better job watching this show and since then I haven’t been as good. I think I still have 5 or 6 episodes left, but I know it ended almost a month ago by now, so I will be able to catch up! I was familiar with the original Party of Five from the 90s and had wanted to watch that show for a while now, but due to the amount of seasons I hadn’t gotten around to it. So, once I heard this one was airing I was really excited to give it a chance. I like that it’s by the same creators as the first season and I can’t explain it, but I was really happy to see the iconic font with the title card. This show is so relevant for our current society. It addresses so many of the issues we face with the government today. Instead of having their parents die in a car crash like the original series, here they are deported which brings a whole other side to the story line. I like how we get to see the kids deal with them being away and the hope to live with them again while also seeing their current conversations. There’s so much drama and I am just hoping for some lightness at the end of this season because these characters deserve it!

{HANDE ERÇEL, FEMALE, SHE/HER )} have you seen AIDAN “AIDA” SCOTT around icaria? they are the 26 year old child of APHRODITE. they remind me of the faintest scent of luxury perfume, disheveled sheets and a wavering smile. They’ve been on the island for 5 years. 
Basics:
Full Name: Aidan Scott
Nickname: Aida
Parents: Easton Scott & Aphrodite
D.O.B.: October 25th
Age: 26
Profession: Owner of Relaxing Tides
Hometown: Los Angeles
Sexuality: Pansexual
Spoken Languages: English, French, Greek, Turkish and some broken Spanish
Abilities: Emotion manipulation (the ability to control and manipulate emotions); fertility manipulation (along with the ability to bring small things to life for a limited time)
BIO:
TW: Mental Illness, Alcoholism, Drugs, Violence
Aidan Scott spent her entire childhood having to live up to an idea. Her father, Easton Scott, would tell her stories about her stunning mother. The woman who could make jaws drop with a passing look. The most beautiful woman in the world who Aida apparently was a ‘spitting image of’.  Only the woman she believed was her mother, wasn’t, the free spirited woman who walked out on their family when Aida was only a child. But, Aphrodite- the goddess of love and beauty.
Easton and Hayley had been young and rushed too quickly into marriage. They barely knew each other and, after the first year into their marriage, Hayley couldn’t bring herself to stay. With his wife walking out on him, Easton quickly slipped back into a depression. He was half way through a bottle when he stumble upon a woman he couldn’t take his eyes off of. It was one night of passion and praise and, the next thing Easton knew, the goddess left a beautiful baby girl off on his doorstep and the child was constantly reminded of just how beautiful she was.
Aida loved her father and, for the most part, things were great. Better than great. When Easton was good, it was like her world was touched with light and fire. He’d tell the school she was sick so they could to the arcade or an amusement park. She’d wake up to pancakes and waffles and so much food it could feed a neighborhood; the most exorbitant and over the top breakfasts imaginable. They’d dance around in their living and laugh till the sun came up. But, it was get to be too much. He’d have so much energy that he’d keep her up for days. She’d could barely focus let alone stay awake at her desk. He’d start comparing her more and more to the woman she didn’t remember and could never live up to. He’d even have her pretend to be her mother on occasion, just before he crashed. During the lows, Easton would barely get out of bed. If she walked in five minutes late from school, he might even throw a glass at her head for worrying him too much. She loved her dad and she tried not to ever blame him for the mania or the depression. Instead, she handled what little money they had and did her best to take care of the both of them, often playing down how smart and responsible she truly was to help put her father’s mind at ease and act like any other kid without a trouble in the world.
That was until her abilities began to set in. Aida didn’t understand it, but in high school, the girl slowly started to see more and more people around her become overrun by their emotions. A cashier who she exchanged friendly words with for a few seconds, would start throwing things the next. At first she thought it was just her imagination and, yet, she couldn’t shake this feeling that she was the cause of it. She tried to bring it up with her father, but he’d just brush it off like it was nothing. When she discovered she had the ability to bring small things to life for a limited time- she hoped that was the proof she needed that something was going on with her. Maybe even was wrong with her? But, instead of having an answer, her dad signed her up for therapy. For years, she convinced herself it was all in her head. Maybe she was just crazy? Hiding her worry behind pretty smiles that didn’t quite reach the eye and a long train of partying and booze. But, finally the truth came out.
Demigods were going missing, so her dad reached out to the mother she never knew. She was beyond angry and hurt at her dad for hiding it. He had been trying to protect her, but in doing so, he made her feel lost and alone. Words were said. Bitter phrases the two would long regret. And the next thing Aida knew, she was packing up her bag, heading off to Icaria and not looking back.
Aida keeps up her carefree appearance, often losing herself to the bottle of a bottle or waking up in strangers beds. She’s a flirt decked out in designer clothes who uses her ability of emotion manipulation to be able to live the lavish lifestyle she had never been privy to growing up. She’s smart, but often chooses to feign innocent or tone down just how much so in public, pretending to be more like the mysterious goddess who is her mother than she truly thinks she is. Aida pushes down the guilt she has for how her and her dad, the closest man in her life, ended things and hides behind the pretty walls she’s built up for herself.

Sifting through the Dregs
Tumblr media
For series twelve of Doctor Who, I have opted to take a casual approach. I've avoided spoilers as much as possible. Although I caught the trailers, and the odd press photo, I've managed to stay away from things as simple as episode descriptions, writers, or even episode titles. I want to come into each story with as little expectation as possible. This is so that I might avoid hype, both of the negative and positive varieties. So when I read the words "Part One," after "Spyfall," it was genuinely a surprise. And when I read the words "Orphan 55 by Ed Hime," I was suddenly very hopeful.
If you remember from series eleven, I was a big fan of Ed Hime's episode "It Takes You Away." I praised its brazen absurdity, likening it to something Douglas Adams may have done. The episode is rather divisive in the fandom, as some might call it one of the worst episodes ever. Obviously, I disagree. Ed Hime stands out to me as exactly the kind of writer Doctor Who needs. Someone with a bit of a taste for the absurd, while still managing to capture human moments. Ironic then, that despite my best efforts to approach the episode without expectation, the hype I would most contest with would be my own. Does "Orphan 55," live up to my expectations? Let's get into it!
As I said, Ed Hime lends a sort of mad weirdness to Doctor Who that I feel a certain section of writers possess. Think your Lawrence Mileses, your James Gosses, or even the occasional Steven Moffat. These are writers, who for better or worse understand one thing about Doctor Who- it's weird. Strangely, one of the common most aspects ignored by Doctor Who writers is the absurdity. A blue police box wrapped around an impossible machine, piloted by an ancient trickster somehow becomes mundane. Doctor Who's weirdness is an integral element that has been around since its inception. That's why when the gang gets teleported by a contest cube Graham has assembled, and the first person we meet is a furry, I feel we're already onto a good start. Especially when they just finished cleaning up the biggest calamari ever from the TARDIS floor. (Anyone else think of the Nestine Consciousness?)
Tumblr media
Characters like "Hyphen with a 3" or "Hyph3n," remind me of some of the '80s era's odder characters. I could easily see her and her tail living in "Paradise Towers," or perhaps riding a bus in "Delta and the Bannermen." But another reason I love her is that she's not just a furry, it's part of her identity. You don't get the idea that she's an outlier like real-life Trekkie, Barbara Adams, who famously wore her Star Trek uniform to jury duty and her place of work. Instead, you get the feeling that in the future, people respect identities. To use Star Trek again, I remember watching an episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise," where the character Trip has a crisis over whether or not a girl "was a man." When you compare this to the dialogue we're having about transgender rights in 2020, you're automatically reminded that Enterprise came out in 2001. By today's standards, furries are still seeking acceptance. Seeing Hyp3n in a partial fursuit may seem absurd now, but in its own way, it's futuristic. How very Doctor Who.
Tumblr media
Things in this future, however, aren't all progressive acceptance of our fine furry friends, there seems to be trouble in paradise. As I said, the gang is greeted by Hyp3n, a sort of porter for a relaxation destination called "Tranquility Spa." The companions immediately take to the spirit of things, as they settle in for a bit of rest and relaxation. The Doctor, of course, starts snooping around. Meanwhile, a security team of two, Kane and Vorm are responding to "another security breach." Whatever it is requires machine guns, which seems like quite a lot. And if you're like me you'll spend the next half hour trying to figure out where you've seen Kane before. I'll help you out- it was Lydia from Breaking Bad. You're welcome. I just saved you a trip to IMDb.
The next scene introduces us to a concept that will run strong within this episode- Yaz as a gooseberry. We see a couple of pensioners, Benni and Vilma, enjoying their spa getaway. Just as Benni is about to ask Vilma to marry him, Yaz stands right between them. I mean, I know the pool is for everyone, but read the vibe, Yaz. Jeez. Meanwhile, Ryan is checking out the interior of Tranquility Spa. The bar looks like the kind of place art vampires go to get lemongrass enemas. It reminded me a lot of "The Leisure Hive," with a budget, or even a more modern twist on the Centre of Leisure from "Time and the Rani. So much of this episode reminded me of classic Doctor Who.
Tumblr media
Ryan notices a vending machine, but as he's retrieving his food is infected by a hopper virus. The Doctor explains the virus is capable of jumping from computers to humans. After expelling it from his system, the Doctor bags it to take to whoever is in charge. While Ryan is sucking his thumb to reduce the hallucinogenic side effects of the virus, he sees a cutie in a similar situation, a young woman by the name of Belle. It's pretty obvious at this point that Belle is to be a sort of romantic interest for Ryan, and who can blame him? She lives up to her namesake!
Tumblr media
Everyone is rounded up for a "tranquillity drill," to a safe location while Kane and Vorm run through the lobby with their guns in tow. As with most companions, travelling with the Doctor embeds a deeper curiosity. Much like the Doctor would, Ryan questions what type of drill requires guns. This question entices Belle to follow him as they investigate. I really liked this pairing of the two of them as their chemistry was natural, despite Ryan's repeated failures at chatting her up. It only added to their charm.
The Doctor confronts Hyp3n who seems just about as confused and nervous as many of the guests. Whatever she's hiding is only because she's been instructed to by her superiors. Considering the hopper virus and drill, the Doctor deduces that the spa is under attack, and demands to know what they're hiding. Who would want to harm a spa? The spa has been using an ionic membrane to keep out unwanted visitors, visitors which appear to have breached the membrane. Now under a full-on attack by a group of monstrous beings, guests become casualties. Not only is the base under attack, but the viruses have also handicapped the systems, disabling the emergency teleportation devices. With everyone trapped the Doctor has to work fast to stop the killing, as well as survive.
Graham finds a pair of green haired servicemen in the form of Nevi and his son Sylas. Their entire character design once again had me thinking of classic Doctor Who characters such as the Swampies from "The Power of Kroll," or the Karfelon androids from "Timelash." I liked wondering if they were a kind of species that has naturally green hair, or if they had father/son hair dying nights. In this brief interaction, you learn that Sylas is the better mechanic between the two of them, but that Nevi does a bad job of acknowledging this. Graham gathers them and others to evacuate while Ryan and Belle hideaway in a sauna of sorts. While there, they confide in each other that neither of them is nearly as impressive as they initially led on, and the truth strengthens their bond.
Tumblr media
Sadly, as Graham is rounding people up, Benni gets separated after backtracking to pick up Vilma's hat. As life signs extinguish across a computer screen, highlighting the trail of carnage, the Doctor finds a way to push back the onslaught. By repairing the ionic membrane, the creatures, known as Dregs, are physically pushed out of the spa by a force field. The crisis averted, the survivors search for the bodies of their loved ones. Much to Graham's relief, Ryan and Belle have both narrowly avoided the claws and teeth of an angry Dreg. Benni, however, is nowhere to be found.
Tumblr media
After discovering a hole, which looks like a tear in reality, our heroes discover that Tranquility Spa is actually an illusion. A dome separates the spa from a hostile planet far too polluted to inhabit. This abandoned, or "orphan," planet is designated "Orphan 55." This is the reason guests are teleported to the spa- to cover up its seedy location. However, it would appear that whatever the Dregs are, they seem to be apex predators, able to survive the hostile environment of Orphan 55. And they want the spa and its inhabitants gone.
Tumblr media
The Doctor makes Kane drive them out into the wasteland to find Benni, as his oxygen tank would allow him to survive outside of the dome for some time. It was a thin chance, but it might be enough to save at least one person among the carnage. I was really hoping for some silly "Moonbase," style helmets, but instead, we got these minimalist blue breath right strips across the bridge of the nose that linked to small wrist canisters as supplied by Nevi and Sylas.
The trip out onto the surface reminded me a lot of the great Russell T Davies episode "Midnight." And much like Midnight, the confined space of a vehicle traversing harsh conditions offers plenty opportunity to explore the people within. Remember how I said Yaz is a gooseberry? She wastes no time getting right between Ryan and Belle. I honestly can't tell what's going on between Yaz and Ryan at the moment. Last season, there was a bit of a "Will they or won't they?" vibe between them. But series twelve seems less interested in coupling them off. First, we had the Master and Yaz getting weirdly touchy-feely, which surprisingly never comes up again. And now we've got Yaz teasing Ryan in front of Belle like a jealous school girl. We learn that along with sucking their thumbs, Ryan and Belle also share having a dead parent in common, so that's something.
The vehicle picks up a bit of barbed wiring leaving it, as the Doctor put it- completely knackered. Keeping with the Midnight vibe, the surface of the planet is too dangerous due to monsters and killer sunlight. Afraid for her own self-interest, Kane wants to abandon the search mission, but a pleading Vilma begs her to continue looking for Benni. After callously accepting Vilma's necklace as payment, Kane agrees to continue with the rescue mission.  The crew abandon their vehicle and run for the safety of an underground service tunnel, but Dregs attack from every direction causing them to return to the safety of the vehicle. But that safety won't last long.
Tumblr media
It's then that they hear Benni calling for Vilma. He asks her to marry him and then asks them to shoot him as well. It's a morbid moment as you realise the only reason the Dregs have kept Benni alive is to taunt the survivors and prolong his suffering. I don't really understand what the point of having them run back into the vehicle actually was. They basically run back out a moment later with the new plan of Kane and Vorm covering with gunfire. I don't understand why it was so important that they leave one location just to return moments later.
As Kane and Vorm blast Dregs, the rest of the crew run to the safety of the service tunnel. In the scuffle, Vorm dies, but Kane catches up just in time to open the tunnel. The entrance to this tunnel had me thinking of the opening of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." I kept waiting for Rita Repulsa to pop out and say "Ah! After 10,000 years I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!" They make it down into the tunnel where there is a short-range teleporter nearby. Vilma asks Kane if she saw what happened to Benni, and Kane coldly tells her not to worry, that she shot Benni as he requested. It's at this time that Belle steals Kane's gun. She reveals that Kane is her mother and that she's here for revenge for abandoning her and her father. Belle teleports back to the spa taking Ryan with her. Seeing as the teleporter only had enough juice for one go, the rest of the crew must go deeper into the tunnel to find their way back.
Tumblr media
Back at the spa, Belle reveals a huge bomb she plans to use to blow up the spa. Poor Ryan, he just met this girl and already he's dealing with her baggage with her mum. I kid, but damn girl, take a guy to a movie first. It's lucky for the Doctor that this adventure isn't actually from the '80s. Had it been Ace in this position, she would have seen the bomb and said "Wicked!" while offering up Nitro 9 to add to the destruction. Instead, Ryan pleads with her not to blow up the spa, dooming everyone involved.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the Doctor and crew discover a plaque written in Russian, cluing them in to the fact that not only is the planet abandoned, but it was also abandoned by humanity. Orphan 55 is in fact, Earth. This revelation hits Graham and Yaz hard, as they never imagined the fate of the world to be so ugly. Their grieving is cut short by the appearance of Dregs, who Vilma bravely sacrifices herself to, to save the others. The Doctor, at this time also appears to be running out of air. It appears that the ability to be the loudest talker isn't always helpful when oxygen preservation is to be considered.
The sole reason for her running out of oxygen serves only to discover the Dregs breathe out oxygen. She discovers this when she finds a Dreg conveniently hibernating within the tunnel. Why this is important is that it gives a bit of insight into the Dregs' motivation. Kane's big plan was to make a spa that slowly terraforms the planet, which would harm the Dregs. It also explains the trees seen on the surface of the planet. That or these trees are also apex predators able to adapt to anything. Using her Time Lord brain magic, the Doctor looks into the mind of the Dregs and affirms what she feared most- they evolved from humans.
Tumblr media
Everyone has now made their way back to the spa. The Dregs are closing in and they need to fix the teleporter. We're treated to a series of people once again leaving and returning to the same location for the sake of upping the tension. Kane appears to sacrifice herself and Sylas gets in an argument with Nevi once more over being told he's not a mechanic causing him to run away. But both of them are ok, as they both return unscathed. Yaz and Ryan wheel Belle's bomb to try and take out a few of the baddies. It's kind of a clusterfuck if I am honest. Lots of characters get taken in and out of scenes merely to pad time and add to the tension. It's not egregious but could have been edited better.
Sylas appears just in time with a solution to use the hopper virus to convert fuel for the teleporter. I was happy they brought the virus back, even if they don’t make a whole lot of sense. Were the Dregs weaponising the hopper virus? Were the viruses remnants of human civilisation? Regardless, I’m glad they brought it back. Sadly, this entire end sequence acts as evidence that perhaps there are too many companions in the TARDIS at the moment. Graham's job is to stand over Nevi and Sylus saying things like "That's right lads!" Yaz and Ryan are basically running around doing busywork, while the Doctor and Belle are having a stand-off with a Dreg. The Doctor manages to equalise the air in the room so that it is mutually beneficial to keep her and Belle alive. What the Dreg breathes out, they breathe in, and vice versa. This stalemate allows them the ability to leave. With the teleports up and running, the Doctor and her crew are transported back aboard the TARDIS, but not before Belle steals a kiss from Ryan. Are she and her mother going to be okay? We're left to wonder.
Tumblr media
The victory celebration is short-lived as the companions remember the fate of the earth. Now, I need to preface what I'm about to say with the following- I fully believe climate change is a thing. I say this because we need to talk about how Doctor Who handles the subject. I've seen a lot of people (see: morons) complain about when Doctor Who gets "too political." They seem to think anything they don't like is political. The Doctor being a woman is political to them. But as I said with episodes like "Rosa," and "Demons of the Punjab," it's not that Doctor Who shouldn't be political, it's that it's simply not very good at it.
I can appreciate that the message of climate change is a real and pressing matter, but the cautionary edutainment way in which they present the information was so cringe. It felt so unnatural and tacked on. In their desire to address the audience directly, they lose a level of reality that makes the dialogue seem fake. These scenes always feel badly acted to me, but it's the fault of the dialogue. There's no good way to break the fourth wall without also sacrificing the characters' voices. It's like one of those adverts where you have two people talking far too candidly about something like their period flow, or constipation. It's a way to disseminate information about a product or ideology, but don't mistake it for dialogue. Nobody talks like this.
All in all, this was your standard "base in peril," episode. While not as transcendent as "It Takes You Away," I believe Ed Hime has given us another solid episode of Doctor Who. It's hard for me to tell if Hime's ability to write action was wanting, or if it is simply the fault of the director, but it definitely suffers at points due to the janky pacing. Pacing has really been an odd sticking point for series 12, and I hope they work it out. Even still, I was hoping that after the two-parter of "Spyfall," we would get something a little more grounded. Having this odd little contained storyline with little homages to classic Who is actually more than I had hoped for. It also gave us a new character in Belle, whom I expect to see return eventually. And despite the heavy-handed and unnatural way in which they dealt with climate change, I understand that it's a family show. In keeping with classic Who, it aimed to be educational, and for that, I cannot fault it.

Part 23: turbulence
Smutty scenario with Ji. I hope you’ll love it. 😉 🥰 🤗
Thank to my princess @aspaceformyself who taught me a new verb as I was writing it 🥳 I have so many good people in my live, I am blessed.
Wc: 3829
Warning: cute smut.
omg omg omg
Look at that inviting picture of my man. aaaaaw
Tumblr media
Recently, you went through a phase of emotional turbulence. Some days you were upset at Jiyong. Those days when he was calling you, you were so mad at him that you were barely responding to his questions. The day after you would call him to apologise, telling him you are sorry, that you understand he was in a depressive phase when he acted like he did. Regardless of his state of mind, when he slept with those woman, you were hurt. There’s no lie about it. You understand why he did thought. You understand that you were not a couple anymore when he did. Nevertheless, the thoughts of it still hurts you. You had to work on yourself a lot.
Not to mention the press. They invented stories about the circumstances surrounding Min Soo's conception. That was not helping your anger, you had to stay away from the internet and the news for a while, to let the story die by itself.
It has been 2 months since you left Ji’s house. MinSoo turned 6 months old 2 days ago. She was now able to sit up alone and has the perfect control of her head so it doesn’t seems so heavy anymore. As soon as she was on her stomach she tried to crawl by pushing on her feet on the floor, failing miserably, her little head falling in front of her. When it happened, she got so upset at her unsuccess, she started to cry from anger right away. The good thing is, she was changing mood very fast, some tickling on her stomach or neck and she would forget that she was angry 2 seconds ago, bursting out of laughter. You love that about her so much, she got that quality from Ji, she don’t stay upset for a long time contrary to you. It’s hard to upset you but when you are, there is no turning back. Except when it comes to Ji…
Jiyong tried to keep her for a night over at his house but he couldn't. Lately, she was falling asleep only if you were there, breastfeeding her. She was taking the bottle during the day but there was no other way to stop her from crying at night when she was fighting against sleep. The way to calm down was in your arms, drinking. That’s how she would abandon herself to sleep. Ji was sad about it but at the same time, he understood this was a temporary situation. He hopes that she will accept the bottle soon at night so she can stay with him all night long. To overcome it, he went to your place a couple of nights, taking care of her like he used to do. It was hard for you to refuse it, you know he and MinSoo have a strong bond together. In the interest of your little princess, you accepted.
Today, she was spending the day with her father, her grands-parents and her aunt. There was a family event and Jiyong brought her at his parent’s place. You decided to take some time for yourself. You went to the spa with two friends, got a massage and some esthetics cares. It was a lovely day, the sun was rising shine and you were happy to be away from home for a while.
A little later at the restaurant, a man tried to flirt with you. You have to admit, it was flattering. That made you realised that for almost all your adult life, the only man you had sex with was Jiyong. With the attitude the man had today, you could have bring him back to your place right away. Imagining what would have been Ji’s reaction made you laugh. He’s not the reason you didn’t do anything. If you are being honest with yourself, Ji is the only man you really want. The pretty man that flirt with you today would stand no chance against Jiyong.
At 22h10, Ji rang the doorbell of your place. You were exciting to see your daughter,
you missed her so much. It’s a crying baby stretching out her arms to you and an anxious Jiyong that entered your apartment and crashed on your couch.
“Why is she crying?” You asked Jiyong, holding your daughter against your heart.
“She’s tired, she doesn’t stop rubbing her eyes. I’m the worst father on earth, I can’t calm my own daughter”.
“Well, you know why Ji. You can’t feed her the way she wants”.
You lift up your pyjama shirt and unbutton your bra and she stopped crying as soon as she found what she was craving for, drinking like a greedy. Ji went in the kitchen, prepared a tea for both of you and sat down by your side. He seemed to be so shocked about the situation. You couldn’t stop caressing your daughter’s hair and tell her how much you’ve missed her today, how much she is the prettiest little monster alive and how much you love her. Ji was looking at you smiling fondly, finally calmer.
“Kkulie, you’re a wonderful mother, I don’t regret having a child with you even in those peculiar circumstances”.
“I don’t regret her either Ji, she’s a blessing in my life”.
He was serious all of sudden. The only thing you could ear was your daughter drinking avidely.
“I regret that I broke up with you. I could die when I think about it, the perfect relation we had and that I just throw away. But at the same time, Min Soo was born out of it. It gave us our little princess”.
You looked at him in the eyes. He was so wonderful with his brown, almond shaped eyes. Even though his smile shifter between sadness and joy, he was stunning. Even more beautiful than when you met him.
“May I stay the night? I want to be there tomorrow morning, I promised her I would be the one who gives her her cereals tomorrow. I want to keep my promises”.
“Yes you can, let me put her to bed, she fell asleep”.
He leaned forward to lay a kiss and a caress on her forehead, brushing her hair with his fingers.
“Good night my little love, have the most beautiful dreams.” he had hearts in his eyes as he was looking at her. «You smell so good little princess».
You put her in her crib, stared at her for a few moments as she was trying to find a good position. When you came back in the living room, Ji was now sat on the floor, leaning against the sofa with his neck thrown back on the seat cushion. To see his neck thus offered was a call to temptation, a call to sin. That neck, the scent of his skin, the pulsating veins that you have traced each time things would be heated between you. All of this were coming back to you at the sight of it. This neck is perfection. His whole body is perfection. Is he sitting like that to tease you? Because he knows very well the effect his neck has on you. He knows it was always your weak spot. He certainly remember how you loved to encircle it and trace his nerves and veins with your thumbs while you were riding him. How you pushed his chin back to have more space, more skin to kiss, more space to play. He can't have forget that.
He seemed asleep so you came closer to him, admiring his features more than trying to see if he was actually sleeping. His hand grabbed your calf and he said with a smile on his voice:
“What are you admiring?”
“I wasn’t admiring anything, get back to earth Mr Kwon. I ain’t a fangirl» You were laughing. «I was trying to figure out if you were asleep”.
“You’re just a big fat liar miss y/n, you’re my number 1 fangirl”.
“Yeah! yeah!” Both of you were laughing.
You grabbed your cup of tea, it was prepared exactly how you like it, with a lot of honey and a little soy milk. He took his cup as well. For a few minutes, none of you talked and for the first time ever, the silence between you was awkward. Somehow, there was tension in the air and you don’t know what changed so suddenly. Uncomfortable, you talked first.
“You’re still planning to go on tour in a few months?”
“Yes, but with a lot of pauses between the cities. We’re planning to come back to Seoul very often”.
“The boys agreed with that?”
“They didn’t have much of a choice if they want their leader, they have to accept condition I imposed. Otherwise I wouldn’t have gone on tour. I have a family now”.
“What does it mean concretely?”
“We start the tour here, 2 days later we’ll have a couple of dates in Japan. We come back for 3 days and then leave for Indonesia for 3 nights. Back to Seoul for 5 days and it's like that for the whole tour. Well, this is what I am trying to do because it is not accepted completely by the company yet”.
“Isn’t gotta be interminable like that?”
“I have no choice if I want to see my daughter grow up. At her age, if I go away for too long she might forget me».
«This is so nice of you Jiyong, you are such a wonderful father». You were touched by his commitment, by the pure love he has for your daughter, his daughter.
«Can I have her when I’ll be back in Seoul? If she wants, of course”.
«Ji, it’s far from here. We have plenty of time to talk about it»
He shake his head yes but he stayed silent, thinking. You don’t know why but it hits you right now. His real involvement for his family. For you, for Min Soo. Since he made those mistakes about 8 months ago, he never failed to show you his devotion and his love. You keep rejecting his declarations of love but he stayed collected and strong. Ever since he stopped drinking and clubbing, not a day goes by without him telling you that he loves you. His vulnerability, his loneliness and his strength hits you all of sudden. You don’t want him to go on tour. You will miss him so much. You want him back in your life, in your bed, in your house. Is it only for a night? Those feelings are so strong, you have to make the effort to collect yourself. You don’t want him to notice the emotions growing up inside of you all of sudden. You need to clarify your thoughts, you have to read inside of your heart first. No, your heart has always been clear. It’s your head that you need to read. Nevertheless, you slide yourself on the side and sit on his laps, leaning your back against his chest. As soon as you do it, he hold you in his arms and crossed his hands on your stomach. You drop your head on his shoulder behind you and let the whole world disappear as you closed your eyes.
“Don’t question it Ji, I just had the need to feel your embrace. I miss you”.
“I won’t ask anything or either move. I’m afraid that if I do, you’ll move away from me and this is the last thing that I want”.
“Ji… I don’t… I… forget it”.
“You don’t have to say anything Kkul” he was afraid you'd change your mind and get off his thighs but he couldn’t resist and he kissed your temple softly. He gaged your reaction, noticed that you didn’t flinch so he took the risk to brush his nose against your hair like he did so many times before.
Tenderly, you cover his hands with yours and caressed him with your fingertips. You don’t know what you are doing but for now, you don’t really care. The only thing you want is to hug him and feel his warm body against yours. His loving embrace and his strength. You want to stay just like that, snuggled against him.
You continued to run your fingers on his skin with your eyes closed and got lost in your thoughts for a moment. You feel home like that, comfortable. You feel like you belong and like it was the good thing to do.
“Ji?”
“Huum”.
“I am not sure of anything anymore”.
“Well, I know what you want right now. You want me to give it to you?” He asked in a whisper, his mouth beneath your ear.
“Is there something that I want?” You asked him, questioning yourself briefly.
He laughed and let his right fingers traced a line from your stomach to your inner thighs. In no time, he was tracing smalls up and down lines on your center, exactly where you were feeling a feverish desire since you catch a glimpse of his neck. You freeze under that touch. It’s delightful and he’s not applying any pressure on you yet. Just a light caress that you can barely feel. He knows too well that you’ll want more soon, you could imagine him smirk behind you.
“You want me to go on?” He asked in your ear, purposely applying more pressure directly where you love it. You shake your head “no”.
“You want me to stop?” He then asked, a smile on his face, not making the smallest attempt to remove his hand from you. You also shake your head “no”.
He was exactly the same as he always have been with you and that is skilled, teasing and playful. He released some pressure from you center but he continued his sweet caress, his sweet torture above your clothes. He took the slight change in your breathing as an invitation to proceed. With his free hand, he guides you gently so that you lean your head to the side, giving him a larger space to kiss on your neck. Then, he placed small kisses on your very sensitive skin. He released your hair from the hair clip that hold them up in a messy bun, brushing them with his fingers to help them fall freely. His lips not leaving your neck and his other hand now playing with the elastic of the legging you wear as a pyjama pants, he asked softly, against your ear:
“You want me to continue?” You shake your head “no”.
“You want me to stop?” You also shake your head “no”.
“Girl, you’re driving me crazy” he whispered with a husky voice.
You lift your hips up to give him full access to you but you closed your legs on his hand as soon as his cold fingers started to play were they belong. The ambiguity of your behavior is not surprising Ji at all. Right now, your body was betraying you, he knows that and he decided that if it’s the only thing you will give him tonight, he's gotta take it all. He missed you too much not to fully enjoy this shared moment.
Also, he knows you always have played with each other’s boundaries during sex. Therefore if you were not willing to do it with him, you would just say it clearly, that’s how it always worked between you.
His kisses were more demanding, he was giving you wet kisses now, licking, sucking and biting the burning skin on the side of your neck while his hand was slowly and painfully teasing you. He knows your body by heart, he knows exactly what to do to built up the tension and let you panting for more. He loves to alternate butterfly touches and slow circles on your clit, long strokes along your entrance and a soft pinch of your button between his thumb and index. He knows how you love it when he plays with the pression on his fingers, how you love when it hurts just a little, how you’re going crazy when move his fingers back and forth while squeezing your clit between them. He knows how your whole body tense up when his long finger slowly penetrate you, how you would not be able to refrain a moan if he curled his finger inside of you and it’s exactly what happened tonight. Your whole body was reacting at his magical touch. He knows exactly what you love, what drives you crazy. Nobody else ever touched you like that, not even yourself. Ji was the man who gave you the most powerful orgasms and it seems that tonight will be no exception.
When his free hand started to play with your breast, you felt uncomfortable. You just realised that he hasn’t seen you naked since you gave birth, your body has changed. Also, still breastfeeding your daughter, a “milky” accident could happened and you don’t want that. You’re well aware Ji has always found it very arousing, it was even one of his kink but it was never yours and you’re not comfortable to let him kiss or suck on your nipples, or even just touch it if you’re being honest. Not now.
“Ji…”
He removed his hand from your breast but he pinch one of your nipple before, making you shiver under that touch. Your breast has never been that reactive before and the new sensation is driving you crazy.
“I know my love, I won’t touch you there anymore”
“But, it was arousing, I don’t know what I want’. You certainly don’t want to think too much.
“It’s alright, You’re not comfortable with it, I just forgot for a second. I won’t touch you there from now on, promise”.
His right hand never quit your center and your legs started to open wide, your knees bended and your foot took support under his legs. When he started to use his 2 hands on you, you couldn’t stop yourself and you extended your arms behind to grab him by the hair, pulling more or less carefully depending on the movements he made on your crotch. Soft sounds leaving your lips, moaning freely as you always did with him. You kissed his jawline and let your tongue played on his skin.
Playfully, he stopped touching you completely and asked:
“You want me to continue?”
At this point, you were annoyed. He knows too well what you want. You looked at him behind your shoulder.
“Please love, make me cum». And he started to play with you again.
You don’t wait for his reaction and for the first time in long time, you kissed him on the lips. Your tongue starting to move in circle as soon as they met again after that long separation. The taste of his mouth was the exact same, a comforting and delicious savor.
He removed one hand from your core and brought his fingers to his lips, licking and sucking at the juices you could see on them. Your juices, the reaction your body has for him.
“I missed your taste the most, I missed you so much. You taste is addictive”.
And he kissed you again, his fingertips trailing down their way where you were craving him to go back. He rubbed your pink button a little bit more and continue his in and out movements with his other hand, not giving you a chance to escape from the pleasure, not that you were interested in that.
Your mouth were glued together until you couldn’t kiss him anymore, the sensations being too strong. You became a moaning mess and he smirked at you. With his long fingers lost in you hitting your spot and his other fingers deliciously squeezing your clit, caressing it softly, torturing it like you love him to do, you came harder than ever. Your walls clenched around his fingers as your body couldn’t stop trembling. Ji slowed down the pace and released some pressure so the caress remains soft. He accompanied your orgasm as long as he felt your body tensed against his, not complaining about his hairs being pulled rougher than ever. Your moans buried in the crook of his neck, you finally hit the last wave of your orgasm.
You locked eyes with him as soon as you came back to earth. You turned around on your knees and sit on his laps facing him now, both unbothered about the mess you will make on his pants. You encircled your arms around his neck, kissed him a couple of times and said while he was rubbing your sides:
“Ji, I’m not even sorry. What does it mean?”
“It means we belong together my love, it means we are meant to be. Also, I think you really needed it. Was it good’?
“No, you lost the touch I think” you said, trying to remains serious. You just wanted to tease him. You didn’t expect his answer.
“Good, then we’ll have to practice more”.
You don’t want to think about the meaning of it right now. The only thing you can focus on is his erected member under you, deliciously twitching. You can feel his desire for you and it’s turning you on again. You started to rock your hips against his, slowly. Doing so, you took off his shirt. He was too surprised to help you or, judging by his grin, too excited to move.
“I love you Kkul”
“I know” you answered blinking, proud of yourself.
He didn’t like that provoking attitude so he hold you in his arms and inverse position in no time. Your head hit the floor and your legs automatically wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer. You needed to kiss him again, to feel him connected with you completely. He broke the kiss and whispered against your lips:
“Last time we made love, you pinned me down because you were frustrated. It was amazingly good I’m not gonna lie. It was fucking hot to see you bounce on me, pregnant. But… tonight… it’s…. my turn… to play… with you...”
His last words were separate with kisses all over your face. He managed to unzip his pants and get rid of them, his underwear also landing on the floor. He noticed you were taking off your shirt and bra at the same time as your leggings. You surprised him. He thought you wouldn’t give him access to your breast.
«Love, you don’t...»
«It’s ok Ji, I am comfortable with you, with it»
He locked his mouth with yours and you were up for another hour of love games.
Later that night, laying on his chest, your whole body on his naked one, you asked yourself if it was the good thing to do. But if you are being honest, the thought of starting anew with him is more appealing than ever.

Chapter 29 _ Vamos al Valle De La Muerte?
Since Hope’s arrival Juliana and Valentina had begun to hang out with the twins and Penelope more often. Things on campus had smoothed out and no one looked at Juliana like the odd one out any longer. She had more than proven herself with each project and each assignment going above and beyond everyone’s expectations. Spring Break was around the corner and Juliana was given the week off from work with paid vacation.
One evening before the official beginning of Spring Break for either girls, Valentina was laying down on Juliana’s bed as Juliana sketched on her bedroom desk. They spent many evenings like this, simply being in each other’s presence as they each did their own thing. This particular evening Valentina was observing her girlfriend who was lost in her own world.
“Hey, Juls?” Valentina said not moving from her position on the bed.
“Hmm?” Juliana responded without looking up from her drawing.
Valentina smiled and continued, “do you wanna go to Death Valley for spring break? We can go with Pen and co. I think it’d be fun, our first official road trip together.”
That caught Juliana’s attention. “A road trip huh? Okay. What would be doing on this road trip?”
Valentina sat up with an excited grin knowing that Juliana was on board. “Well, we can take the RV and start with the Amargosa Opera House you always talk about. Stay there for three days, explore around the valley, then head to Vegas and figure it out from there?”
“Vegas? What are we gonna do in Vegas? We’re not even 21 yet.” Juliana asked with a slight giggle.
“We don’t need to be 21 to enjoy the city. Sure there’s clubs and casinos and whatnot but we can still go sight seeing. We can go to that Dinning In The Sky thing. On our way home we can stop wherever the girls want or anywhere else you want to go. If we leave tomorrow we’ll have about 11 days to do whatever.” Valentina said like if this hadn’t been a last minute idea.
Juliana threw herself on the bed next to her girlfriend pulling her phone out of her pocket. “Okay. Call Hope, I’ll call Penelope and they can call the twins.” Looking up quickly and changing her mind Juliana said, “Actually, no. Let’s tell them to meet us up at Maya’s Kitchen, tell them we have a proposition for them.”
Once they were all together they ordered their food and started planning their trip. Lizzie and Penelope wanted to stop by Warner Brother’s to go on the studio tour. The studio was holding the Pretty Little Liars exhibit once again and that show was the one thing, aside from Josie, that they bonded over. Josie and Hope on the other hand wanted to go to Universal Studios to go to Harry Potter world. 
They decided they would leave the following morning at 5am to arrive at the opera house by 1pm. They would take turns driving so by the time they arrived they could rest and watch the evening show.
The rest of the girls lived in the city so they went home to pack, Valentina on the other hand who lived further away decided to just get clothes from the loft and what she had at Juliana’s apartment. Valentina called her father to ask for the RV and tell him their plan, without much explaining he agreed.
By 9pm They all met up at Juliana’s apartment to help load everything in the RV. They decided spend the night at Juliana’s in order to leave from her place in the morning on schedule.
The following morning the girls were off on their trip. On the drive to Death Valley, Valentina and Julian took turns driving. The first few hours were quiet since most of the girls were asleep. Juliana was playing Valentina’s favorite playlist as they hummed along to the songs. Around 10am Hope pulled out her guitar and the entire group took turns singing while Juliana drove. Valentina sang a few originals for Juliana. They spent the remainder of the trip singing and telling silly jokes.
By the time they arrived at the Armargosa Opera House & Hotel they checked in and settled into their respective rooms. They took two hours to rest and by 3pm they went out to the main lobby and asked the woman in charge if they could organize a tour for the six of them. The tour was an hour and a half. By the time the girls were done with the tour more than half of them had shed a few tears. They fell in love with the story of the place and wished they could’ve met Mrs. Martha but they were glad her art, passion, and love lived on.
The girls went to bed soon after the show ended. Valentina took beautiful pictures of the place and the show, she decided that once they arrived back home she would edit them and turn them into a book for the Opera House. Juliana was so happy she got to finally see the Opera House she’d been wanting to see for about three years. She thanked Valentina for making one of her dreams come true. Valentina smiled tenderly and responded saying it would be the first of many.
Valentina and the girls left very early the following day to see the sunrise at the Racetrack Playa to see the sliding rocks. That was something Valentina had always wanted to see and capture with her camera. The sunrise was pretty but in that moment Juliana thought there was nothing more beautiful than the genuinely happy smile Valentina held on her face.
By noon the girls returned to the hotel and decided to check out and head to Las Vegas. Hope drove the two hours it took to arrive. The Mikaelson family has a residence in the city and Hope insisted they stay there so they didn’t have to get a hotel. They stopped by a grocery store and bought food to cook for dinner. They took the rest of the day to relax and watch a few movies, all agreeing to explore the city on Sunday morning and do another sight seeing run once the sun went down and the lights came on.
As planned they went exploring for a bit by foot, had lunch at one of Hope’s favorite restaurants and went home to relax while the heat settled. They ended up going to the Dinner In The Sky as Valentina had mentioned and went sight seeing for the rest of the night. Valentina took a lot of picture once again and couldn’t help but capture her beautiful girlfriend on their mini adventure. Juliana had never been to Vegas and was amazed by the night life and all replica towers.
They spent another night in Vegas and by Monday morning made their way to LA. Penelope and Lizzie being the ones most excited about their first Buena Park stop slept most of the way there so by the time they arrived they would be well rested and ready to enjoy the tour. 
Once in Buena Park the girls went to their hotel before getting their rental car to head to Warner Brother Studios for the tour. The tour was something they all enjoyed for different reasons. They learned all about the makeshift town of Rosewood and learned it was the exact same town and houses used for shows such as Gilmore Girls and Friends. They got to see Spencer’s famous barn. They got to see Radley Sanitarium turned into a hotel for a movie being shot. 
Juliana was most excited to see the Wonder Woman outfit from the DC Universe exhibit. The man giving them the tour explained that the Supergirl show moved locations to Vancouver because it was much cheaper to shoot there than in LA. They got to see all of the Batmobiles and the pink Lamborghini used in Suicide Squad. Valentina and Juliana being the car lovers they are, loved that tour stop. The tour ended at the gift shop where the girls all got souvenirs. Juliana bought a Bugs Bunny key chain for her father and a Friends mug for her mother. In that same building they held the Pretty Little Liar’s costumes and Valentina made sure to snap pictures for Lizzie and Penelope as well as a few candid shots throughout the tour. Being the fans they were Penelope and Lizzie each bought a mug with the signature Pretty Little Liars “-A” written on it as well as other merch. After the tour, they headed to the hotel and spent the evening at the spa getting pampered.
The following day they made their way to their final stop, universal studios. They spent the entire day at the amusement park making sure they covered as much ground as they could. By the time the park was closing the girls were exhausted yet satisfied with the rides they rode and everything they experienced. Juliana drove the girls to the hotel for their final night before finally making their way home the next morning.
This had been the best spring break Juliana had ever had and she still couldn’t comprehend how she got so lucky with a girl like Valentina. She didn’t think she’d ever get to see the opera house yet here she was at the end of their trip with one dream checked off.
-----------
Here is a video of the Amargosa Opera House that I think everyone should definitely see:

𝒲𝑒𝒹𝓃𝑒𝓈𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 6𝓅𝓂
It’s been a week and a half since you’d last seen EXO. Your jobs just so happened to get busy and you all couldn’t afford any distractions. They were away handling business in Hong Kong that, from what you could tell, was extremely important. This “business” caused a lot of bloodshed and talk that traveled around like wildfire. Apparently, they wiped out an entire drug trafficking ring pissing off a lot of buyers. But with EXO being EXO and doing what they do best, they are now the only drug and weapon traffickers in southern China, which is a huge deal. They managed to expand their territory in a matter of only a week. You had to admit it, it was a super turn on to have these tycoon lords wrapped around your finger.
You on the other hand had a rather important case of your own. Jackson, a rather difficult target, had information that Jiyong needed about a recent business exchange. Since this said business exchange also effected you, he decided you’d be the better weapon to get it out of him. ‘If anyone can get something out of Jackson, it’s you’ he said. But Jackson was never serious; always joking around. You never understood how he got to be in such a high position in this business but either way, you had a job to be done. At least you didn’t have to kill him. You spent 6 days with him in Taipei being the sluttiest most loving “girlfriend.” He told you he wanted to at least pretend you were his so you allowed it. But even though he tried multiple times to get between your legs, you never did anything with him. The most he got was watching you shower. You somehow felt like if you were to fuck anyone else, you were breaking your bond with EXO. Which was crazy but somehow they had this effect on you.
After you were done with that unnecessarily long deal, you went back home to try to relax a bit while you had alone time. You treated yourself to a full spa day, all done in the comfort of your own home. You even decided to have a shopping spree, so your personal assistant organized an in-home showcase. All that luxury thanks to you being filthy rich and dangerous. But after a while you got bored of being home. You decided to go to EXO’s mansion and stay there until they arrived. You talked to them a bit throughout the week but you were all exhausted and too focused on your work to really miss each other. Well that’s what you thought.
A couple days before they would be back you got a call from Kyungsoo.
“Hi daddy!” you answer. You were actually really excited to hear from them.
“Hi princess.” he replies and you can hear the smile on his plump heart shaped lips.
“What’s up?” you questioned figuring something was wrong. It was late for both of you giving the time difference was only an hour; it was about 1 am.
“I just really missed your voice.” he sighed. You heard shuffling and another voice speak into the phone, Baekhyun.
“We all really miss you. You don’t even want to know how much Sehun and Jongdae have been whining.” He suddenly lets out a loud ‘what the fuck’ after a loud smack is heard. You laugh at the thought of either Sehun or Jongdae hitting Baek for his blabber mouth.
“We’ve missed that laugh too.” you hear Junmyeon say. You guessed they were all together like all the other calls.
“Hmm what else do you miss?” you tease. You had a really cruel idea all of a sudden.
“Princess we would rather not discuss what we miss when we can’t do anything about it.” Minseok warns. Oh Minnie, always the smart one. Such a shame you’d be torturing them regardless.
“I could tell you what I miss about you all.” you tease knowing that wouldn’t be any better. You got up taking your phone with you. You were wearing a lingerie set and silk robe. It was normal attire for you to walk around in here and at home; your leisure wear. You took the robe off and stood in front of the mirror and checked yourself out for a bit. Damn you are one sexy woman. You’ve often wondered if you were Aphrodite or Teicu in your former life. You take a picture that showed your curves and soft skin just right.
“But I think I could do you all one better.” you say as you send the picture to all of them. You wait a minute until you hear a beautiful melody of sighs and growls.
“Goodnight darlings. Come home to me soon!” you say as you hang up before any of them could respond. You couldn’t stop smiling at the state they were all probably in. You knew for a fact that they were all going to masterbate to your picture but you felt bad that it wasn’t that great of material. So you stripped off your lingerie and laid down with your legs spread. You angled your phone so you had a view of your lips down to your now wet core and snapped the photo. This one should do the trick. You sent the photo to all of them with ‘thinking of you. have fun!’ attached to it. You could just picture their faces now. You got way to much joy out of frustrating them. You were pretty exhausted so you turned your phone on do not disturb and went to sleep knowing exactly who would be in your dreams.

You were fast asleep in Chanyeol’s room. He had really soft sheets and you loved the way his pillows smelled of his shampoo. You weren’t wearing anything, like usual and only had the thin bed sheet on top of you. You suddenly felt someone’s hands pulling your legs apart as they kissed up your thighs. You let out a small whimper not fully conscious yet. Then you felt soft lips kissing your core gently before a hot tongue licked up and down your folds. You whimper again as you start to wake up. You open your eyes slowly now aware that someone was going down on you. You look down but couldn’t see who it was since they were under the sheet. You pull the sheet back and are faced with a head full of red hair, even in the dark you could see its vibrant hue. You place your hands in his hair as you move your hips up.
“Chanyeolie...” you moan, your voice is small and full of sleep.
“Good morning baby.” he says then goes back to tasting you . He’s more aggressive now and is using his tongue hungrily. He fucks you with his long tongue going as deep as possible before sucking on your clit. You moan the best you can with your weak voice. He’s flicking your clit with his tongue making your back arch.
“Fuck Chanyeol don’t stop..” you moan. He keeps up his tongue flicking until your thighs begin to shake and you’re not breathing as your orgasm takes over you. You tried your best to be quiet given that it was still dark outside and maybe the others were tired from getting in. Chanyeol kisses up your stomach and chest to your neck then jaw before passionately kissing your lips.
“I’ve been starving since we left. I just couldn’t wait to taste you.” he smirks down at you.
“Well I don’t mind waking up to a red headed devil between my legs.” you whisper before kissing him again. He really did have a magical mouth.
“Good because I’ve planned on waking you up with head from now on. But I was a little greedy and woke you up too soon so let’s try again in a couple hours maybe.” he said as he laid next to you completely naked pulling you close to him and the covers on top of you.
“Channie what time is it? Did you all just get in?” you asked looking up at him.
“It’s 6am and yes we did. Everyone’s probably already asleep but I had a sleeping beauty in my bed that I couldn’t resist.” He placed a kiss on your head and held you tighter.
“Goodnight Chanyeolie.” you whisper as you place a soft kiss on his lips. He looked so peaceful as he drifted off. You lay back down on his chest and started to fall back asleep.
“Goodnight princess.” he whispered before you were both gone.

You were awaken by the feeling of the bed dipping. You turn around and wrap your arms around the naked torso of who you assumed was Chanyeol. It didn’t feel like Chanyeol but you just assumed you were too tired to really notice. You felt his arms wrap around your waist as he pulled you close. You felt something warm and hard against your thigh twitching. He began kissing your neck and moving against your thigh. You let out a mumble of ‘stop fucking my thigh chanyeol’. His chest vibrated as he let out a low chuckle. He pulled your leg over his hip turning you so you were fully on your side flush against his chest. You felt this warm hard twitching thing glide up and down against your lower lips.
“I’m not Chanyeol baby. And I guess I’ll just fuck your tight little pussy instead.” the voice said as he pushed his tip inside you. You instantly wake up out of your daze and whimper at the feeling. You look up and see a smiling Baekhyun looking down at you.
“Good afternoon baby.” He kisses your lips as he slowly goes deeper into you. You don’t know how you got into Baekhyun’s room but that’s at the back of your mind as his cock rubs against your walls. He slides out before he pounds in again making you let out a chocked moan. You grab his arm to steady yourself on your side as he starts fucking you, moving his hips fluidly; impressive to be laying on his side. You kiss him letting your moans echo in his mouth. He reaches his other hand down between you to rub your clit.
“Fuck baby I’m so close. Let me hear those pretty moans. Did you miss my cock as much as I missed fucking your tight needy cunt?” he whispers. You’re nodding as you whimper in time with his thrusts. Your faces are directly in front on each other as your foreheads are pressed together.
“Fuck I’m cumming.” you whine as you come undone. He bites your bottom lip hard has his orgasm hits him. You feel his warm cum fill you up to the brim. When was the last time this poor baby came? He stays inside you while kissing you slow. You only stop when you both pull away for air.
“I bet that was better than Chanyeol’s wake up ceremony.” he smirks.
“How did I get in here?” you ask ignoring his snarky comment.
“I woke up around 12pm and brought you in here. I couldn’t wait anymore and you looked so beautiful sleeping I just lost it. I almost fucked my hand with you laying here but that would have been such a waste.” he kissed you again. You felt him twitch inside you as his cock was already semi hard.
“Baekhee the only thing I’ve done today is sleep and cum, twice.” you glare up at him as he painfully slowly begins to thrust into you.
“And you’re going to cum again and again until I feel we’ve made up for lost time princess. I know you can do it. Did you forget our first time together?” he smirks as he delivers one powerful thrust into you. This was going to be a long day.
(Whew! Hope you guys enjoyed this part! I wanted to put more background info into what they were in their businesses. Feedback would be greatly appreciated and thank you all for the support! xoxo golden🕊)

Till Kingdom Come
Chapter Nine
This was weird. Sitting alone in front of a roaring fireplace was weird. Being here was weird. Everything was weird. She tried to focus on the flames but constantly found herself distracted by other things, such as loose threads in the red velvet rug she was sitting on, or her split ends. Normally she hated silence, but it being so quiet was driving her positively mad. "Can I braid your hair?" Padmé asked from behind her and Rey jumped while letting out a cry of surprise.
"S-stop sneaking up on me!"
"Oh, my dear, I'm sorry, I'll try to remember." Padmé smiled apologetically as Rey looked over her shoulder at her with a scowl before looking back forward. "...I've never had my hair braided, does it hurt?" Rey asked and Padmé chuckled as she sat behind her, the older (MUCH older in actual years than looks) woman gently bringing Rey's hair to her back. "No, it doesn't hurt. Well, it can sometimes, but that's only if you want a glorious look for an event." Padmé smiled once more as she began to gently braid her hair and Rey stared into the crackling flames.
"An event? Like a party?"
"Yes, exactly like a party! I didn't know they had parties in the wastelands!" Padmé announced excitedly and Rey instantly deflated. "Yeah, we have...parties..." Rey swallowed thickly as she thought of the 'parties' Plutt had thrown. They weren't parties, they were just huge fights where people betted on money and whoever won...got to...with her... "Honey, breathe." Padmé whispered in a soft, motherly tone and Rey let out a shaky breath as she looked down at the floor. "Do you have your inhaler?" Padmé asked as she paused the braiding and Rey quickly shook her head. "I don't need it--"
"Sometimes we think we don't need things when, in actuality, we need them the most." Padmé gently squeezed her shoulders and Rey had to stop herself from leaping up and throwing a punch. Padmé isn't Plutt. Padmé isn't a scavenger. Padmé could easily kill her if she tried to fight her. "...Are you married to Vader or something?" Rey asked, deciding to change the subject for the better, and the female vampire let out a coo of delight at the question. "Why, yes we are, Rey. We've been married for over two thousand years, isn't that marvelous? And our love hasn't dampened a day." Padmé hummed happily as she started braiding Rey's hair again and Rey began to chew her lower lip. "But he wants me as--"
"Oh, no, Rey! No, no, it isn't like that at all!" Padmé gasped loudly and Rey furrowed her brow in confusion. Personal livestock were made for their pale beast's every need, she didn't understand. Why was this different? "No, no, you're family! He sees you as a daughter of sorts, he would never--"
"He fed off of me, I don't--"
"He was marking you so no one else would bite you, that's all! Has it healed nicely, by the way? May I see?" Padmé reached out to touch the bandage but Rey instantly jumped up and took a few quick steps back. They didn't know. They really didn't know? Kylo didn't tell them? "U-uh, I think that's a little personal, yeah? Personal space? Personal bubble?"
"Oh, come on, you were letting me braid your hair!" Padmé laughed and Rey bit her lower lip harshly...to the point where she drew blood. Padmé's expression immediately changed and Rey quickly covered her mouth. "...I could heal that," Padmé sounded breathless, eager. "For you." She licked her lips and Rey backed up until her back hit the wall before violently shaking her head. "We don't want your hands all bloody, do we? I can heal it," Padmé slowly stood up and Rey felt as if she was about to pass out. "Let me heal it." Her voice got lower as she started to approach her and Rey squeezed her eyes shut tightly. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵, 𝘴𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰, Rey thought to herself but Padmé's hands never touched her. She opened one eye cautiously to see a blonde male in about his late teens standing in front of her with his arms held out to his sides to shield her, Padmé huffing in annoyance.
"Luke, stop, she's bleeding!"
"She barely bit her lip and you're trying to feed off of her using that as an excuse! Both you and father don't understand mortal fear anymore!" He protested and Rey breathed shakily as she opened her other eye.
"Mortal fear? She's not afraid--"
"Yes, she is!" Luke cut her off and Padmé pressed her lips together in a tight line before sighing loudly and looking away. "She smells like him, Luke, what do you expect of me...? I loved him too, just as equally as your father. He was ours--"
"She's not Obi-Wan," Luke stated and Rey nearly cried out in joy. Finally! Someone who didn't see her as Obi-Wan or a Kenobi! "She's not Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan is dead...because of father." Luke bit out harshly and Padmé looked as if she had been shot in the heart, the Empress suddenly vanishing.
"I--thank you." Rey whispered and Luke stepped away from her, the blonde sighing while running a hand through his hair. He looked about the same age as her, but his eyes were red. Oh no. He called Vader 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. "I'm Luke, by the way, and no, I'm not like my father. I don't feed on humans, I like them too much." Luke smiled as he leaned against the wall beside her and she glanced over at him. "You...don't feed on humans? How are you alive?"
"Animals," Luke hummed and Rey's jaw dropped. Animals! A vegetarian pale beast! ...A vegetarian pale beast? That's a thing? "Yes, that's a thing." Luke chuckled and Rey felt her cheeks grow hot with embarrassment. She hated that the purebloods could read her mind. "I mean, I'm the only one, so...it's not really a thing? But it is to me? I stopped feeding on humans over a thousand years ago, and everyone in my family looks down on me for it--well, except Han, but he's a swell dude." Luke shrugged and Rey looked away.
"So...you knew him?"
"Knew who?"
"...Obi-Wan Kenobi." Rey stated flatly after deadpanning at his response and he blinked a few times. "Yeah, I knew Obi-Wan. Everyone here that's a nightstalker knew Obi-Wan." Nightstalker. That's right, that's what they formally called themselves. Other names were vampires, leeches, pale beasts, blood takers, and numerous other things, but nightstalkers were what they liked to be called. She hated it.
"Obi-Wan was...it's complicated. He was the last lycan, Emperor Palpatine had wiped them all out, but...father bonded with him in solitary. They became extremely close with each other, so father killed Palpatine, took the throne, and had both Obi-Wan and mother at his side for over a thousand years. Then...Obi-Wan found out that father helped kill all the lycans, and found out that he was planning on turning him--'fixing' him," Luke suddenly looked extremely uncomfortable and Rey was glad that she wasn't the only one who found it so. "So he ran off. He ran off and joined the humans. He went by 'Ben Wolvesbane' I believe. We knew it was him being talked about in the papers, he didn't think clearly when choosing the name 'Ben', and I think 'Wolvesbane' was a huge, intentional 'fuck you' to my father." Luke looked down and to the side, Rey slowly sitting on the floor beside him.
"I only ever found one article about the war, and it was about Leia and this place. Everything that had to do with the war that was written...is mostly gone by now. Humans don't like accepting defeat, so I s'pose they burned it all or something." Rey mumbled as she drew a circle on the floor with her index finger, Luke sighing and moving to sit behind her.
"What are you--"
"She didn't finish the braid, it's bothering me." He muttered as he started braiding her hair and Rey felt her cheeks grow hot once more. Fuck the braid, she wanted to talk about the war!
"It's just a braid--"
"Yes, now it is." Luke sighed in content as he gently took a strip of ribbon off her dress and tied the end of the braid off. "Padmé and C3P0 are going to have a hissy fit on one of the ribbons on your dress missing, but I needed to tie it off." He gently smacked his thighs as he finished speaking before getting up and Rey looked over his shoulder at him. "...If I run, will they catch me?" She asked softly and Luke paused for a moment with sad eyes before nodding. "Yeah...yeah, they'll catch you...I'm sorry, Rey, but you're here for good." Luke frowned and Rey hung her head in defeat. Goddammit. She wouldn't even try now, there was no point.
"Are you hungry? Maz makes really good food, Poe is always talking about her spaghetti." Spa...what now? Is that a food? "You don't know what spaghetti is?" Luke looked beyond shocked and Rey was staring to think that no one here knew what it was like in the wastelands. "Aw, man, come on. Come on, I'm getting you some spaghetti. You're going to love it, I swear, come on." Luke smiled brightly as he held his hand out and Rey looked at him suspiciously before getting up herself, the blonde looking slightly hurt but instantly shook it off. He seemed trustworthy, but Rey still wasn't taking that chance.
Luke was right, spaghetti was 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 and she 𝘥𝘪𝘥 love it. She had scarfed down five bowls, and on her second bowl, another pale beast who looked only slightly older than her and Luke had come in and started betting on how many bowls she could eat.
"She can eat three more, I swear--"
"Han, she could eat, like, 𝘴𝘪𝘹 more, why are you playing down her appetite?"
"Screw you both, I could at least eight more." Rey snickered in amusement as she started filling her bowl again. Luke was also right about Han, he was a swell guy. He had a fantastic set of humor, and she honestly enjoyed the betting match right now. This was fun. Had she ever had fun? She wasn't quite sure, but this was what fun was she guessed. "Eight?! Aw, geez, how much can your tiny body handle?" Han laughed loudly and Rey shrugged as she stopped filling her bowl. "I dunno, I've never had this much food before. I tore into that whole bag of twinkies--"
"Maz was pretty pissed about that, twinkies aren't easy to get." Han smirked and Rey looked over at him. "I only know them because of advertisements for them in convenient stores. You know, like, on the shelves."
"But you've never had one? How have you also never had spaghetti? Didn't your parents cook for you or something?" Han asked and Rey's hands on the bowl gripped tighter. Well, there goes that fun feeling. Hello, panic. "I...I didn't have--I barely remember my--"
"Ha-ha, okay!" Luke laughed nervously and Rey was seriously beginning to like him. He was great at reading her emotions, and for the past hour and a half, he always cut in or changed the subject when someone asked Rey a question she felt uncomfortable with. He got it. He understood. She was about to open her mouth to speak when suddenly both Luke and Han looked down, the room's atmosphere growing cold.
"Luke, Han, would you leave us be?" That was Vader's voice. Oh, no. No! She was having fun, this was fun, she didn't want to be alone with Vader!
"Father, perhaps later--"
"Was it a question," Vader hummed as he approached the table, and Rey wouldn't allow herself to look at him. "Or an order, Luke?" Vader sighed and Luke bit his lower lip harshly with an aggravated expression on his face. Han gently squeezed Luke's upper arm as Luke growled quiet and Rey just stared down at her spaghetti.
"I don't 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 if it was an order, father, I'm not letting you hurt you like you hurt--"
"Luke, don't," Han whispered and Luke's eyes jerked up to look at Rey, her eyes meeting his almost instantaneously. "Don't, come on. He's not gonna hurt her." Han quietly stood up and walked out of the room with Luke, Luke looking back at her one last time before disappearing.
"I can't smell it on you, why is that?" Vader sat in front of her and Rey still refused to meet his eyes.
"I don't know what you're talking--"
"Yes," He leaned forward, his eyes glittering with danger. "You do, Rey, and I'd like to know why you'd make Benjamin go against me. Are you planning to turn everyone against me? Is that it?" Rey looked up with a shocked expression and instantly regretted it. She hated his eyes.
"N-no, why would I ever--"
"I should just fix you now," He smiled, a calm smile, but yet Rey had never felt so uncalm in her life. "I should fix you now, and make it so you'll never run. I can do it now, I hope you realize that, and you can't stop me. It all depends on how much more time I give you as this filthy animal you are now." He smirked and Rey clenched her jaw.
"If you touch me, and I mean this," She started to rise out of her chair. "I will eat you." Vader looked shocked for a moment, but she guessed she didn't know this threat. It was a very common threat in the wastelands, in fact, she was berated by it on numerous occasions by Plutt, but, in the end...she was the one that had eaten him, not her, and that made her feel confident in some sense. Vader opened his mouth to speak but instantly closed it as he looked towards the entrance way, Kylo leisurely leaning against it as he stared at him. Rey watched them for a good few minutes, and she couldn't help but notice their expressions were changing as if they were having a conversation...but they weren't speaking. At all.
𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳? She asked herself and Kylo's eyes flickered over to her. "Come on, grab your bowl, I'm taking you back up to your room." Kylo finally spoke and Rey quickly glanced over at Vader who looked much too smug to her liking.
"Why did you bring me up here?" Rey asked as he closed her bedroom door behind her, the man putting his hands on the door before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "Ben, answer--"
"Because, Rey, I'm trying to protect you," He inhaled quietly before opening his eyes and turning around to face her. "From him." He finished and Rey huffed as she looked away. "Your family is really weird, you know that? The only decent person is Luke--"
"Luke? You were hanging out with Luke? Of all people?" Kylo sneered and Rey looked back at him. I guess Luke was right about yet another thing, his family really didn't approve of his down to earth ways. "Luke is soft--"
"Yeah, well--well maybe you should learn that from him. The rest of you are super intrusive with all your questions and--and touching me! You know there's such a thing as asking?!" Rey shot back at him and he clenched his jaw.
"Get used to it, Rey--"
"Get used to what?! Being touched when I don't want to?! Having Vader eye me like fresh food?! Having Poe and C3P0 watch me constantly during the day?! No! No, I don't have to get used to this! In fact," She spat angrily as she shoved him towards the door, Kylo simply only raising an eyebrow in response. "You can get out and leave me alone!" She hissed and he clicked his tongue before opening the door without even looking at it.
"If that's what you want." He stated and Rey was suddenly taken aback as he left. He listened to her? He actually listened to her? She didn't dwell on it long as she hurriedly locked the door and ran over to her bed, the brunette curling up and staring at the wall.
He listened to her...
And that carnal voice deep within screeched in joy once again.
