Husband Plays Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx
Recap: We started fighting Weredad, and learned the game actively breaks with multiplayer
We haven't even seen Notre Dame in the show yet, right? [I think we have?] Well I haven't.
Look at this game design. (A giant arrow on the wall) The point of game design is to -
The game doesn't wanna be played. The PS4 just turned off. I think the game just crashed my system.
The whole point of game design is to create a world and a methodology of showing the player where to go and not making it obvious, and then there's THAT. That's Bubsy 3D levels of things.
Also yeah the PS4 crashed. It doesn't want me to play this thing. Let's try this again.
you know what would be interesting? if the Sphinx makes them team up with Hawkmoth
Look at these books. They're so book-like.
You gotta stop moving to do the takedown, but also I don't need to do the takedown if I play as Chat Noir because he hits like a truck
Cannot power pole extend. Sad kitty is sad. Don't know why they gave him the power pole when that's a monkey thing and he's a cat.
Wait is that a macaron [yes but getting it will kill you] I don't care
(Macaron is at the bottom of a pit. he proceeds to jump into this pit multiple times. Clips through the impossible macaron a few times before giving up.)
This game is made.
if Adrien was real he'd be on so many drugs because his dad wouldn't let him do anything else
"These orbs, what do they mean? Something bad is coming! Gee, thanks!" I am looking forward to Fu leaving.
This game has less features than Super Mario 64
This game came out in the same year as God of War Ragnarok
If this game came out on the PS2, people would have loved it. But this is on PS4. That's utterly inexcusable.
I never thought I would hear Marinette say how about a knuckle sandwich
This is a ticket? I don't know, it's so blurry I can't tell
This single spot here is just to show you Notre Dame. This is a nice image, but the quality put into Notre Dame does not match the quality of everything else so it sticks out like a sore thumb.
you can tell these people have only worked on mobile games before
I'm pretty sure the guy who owns Miraculous pointed at Batman Arkham and said do that, but said it to the wrong studio.
Why can Weredad make goons? Why isn't he something like The Accountant?
Why do I need to take out all the goons? Do they weaken Weredad so we can fight him?
What's that sound effect of running on paper?
I know this is a kid's game, but the guy knows that most of the people watching the show aren't actually children, right? He has to
Why is there a combo counter? there's no benefit to doing combos
okay so the counter just doesn't work now
I'm standing in this pile. not on it.
What's with this camera angle. why is he running. What's with this boss fight??
What the fuck. what the fuck
The camera should be locking onto him.
If I sneak up on him, I can attack, but if he sees me he gets a free QTE escape thing
and now I'm Chat Noir. well at least this'll go faster.
Well he glitched into me
what the fuck is that pose? (Chat Noir laying on a paper pile but it's very ... ass.)
They didn't even let him finish his sentence.
Tumblr media
That's it that's the show
Why does Luka look worse here than in the show
Tumblr media
Why is his hand on his chin like that
I can't believe how hard they pushed Luka to the point of making other characters' relationships around him weirder
Luka is the incel of the show
Why is there no guide to this game yet
I don't know! What if it doesn't actually matter what you select in these parts
(Looking at the photo album) These are new renders. These aren't from the show. [I think these are from the Instagram.]

So, being the mature, childless adult that I am. My husband decided to lean hard into my fandom and make it the whole theme of my Christmas gifts this year.
The first one that I opened was a Miraculous Ladybug Advent calendar. It contained a different charm for each of the kwamis, as well as the Miraculous show logo, Ladybug, Chat Noir, and an extra charm each for Tikki and Plagg.
The second gift? Miraculous Ladybug Chibi World. In other words.... Polly Pocket: ML Addition.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is it bad that my first thought when opening this gift was, "OOOO! I can now play out scenes from @buggachat's "Bakery 'Enemies' AU"!"

To get into the first looks that were made for Barbie, we need to understand the beauty and fashion of 1959.
1950s fashion existed under that shadow of World War II. Women of the war era were hardy, hard-working, and practical. Fashion was also extremely practical, using as little rationed material as possible. The silhouette was boxy, masculine and almost military, with big broad shoulders and knee-length skirts. Rationing and austerity continued in the years immediately following the war, but then in 1947, something miraculous happened:
Tumblr media
(The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
Christian Dior created “The New Look.” Now okay, fashion in general had been leaning into this new silhouette and Dior was far from the only designer to be working with it, but his was the most copied and most iconic.
“The New Look” was a call back to the sumptuous femininity of the mid-Victorian era, bringing back tiny waists held in place by impossibly tight corsets and big, full skirts with crinolines and hoops. 
The silhouette was a return to classic femininity, but the materials garments themselves were pure modernity: a practical ensemble for a wealthy woman-on-the-go who was lunching with her friends in Paris.
Looking back at Barbie’s 1959 looks, Christian Dior’s fingerprints are all over them, but I see plenty of other designers in the mix, as well. It’s actually very easy to find near-matches of almost all of Barbie’s 1959 looks with a cover of Vogue from the 1950s. Barbie from the get-go was an idealized woman who existed in a world that was separate from the middle-class American suburbs that the little girls who played with her lived in.
Tumblr media
Looking at classic first-run Barbie, there’s honestly not a whole lot to say about the bathing suit look. I mean, yeah, that’s what fashionable women wore to the beach in the 1950s. Her buxom curvy body fit the idealized standards epitomized by Marilyn Monroe.
Tumblr media
Her face has the heavy makeup that was worn by French fashion models of the time.
Tumblr media
Arched, heavily-styled brows, eyeshadow, slightly winged eyeliner, mascara, and of course perfect red lips with matching mani and pedi. One of my pet peeves about vintage style is when people wear winged eyeliner as “50s housewife glam.” NO. Your average middle class American Mrs. Homemaker was not wearing that kind of makeup. Winged eyeliner in the 50s only had a small wing that accentuated the eyelashes, and was generally only worn by the high-fashion crowd. Maybe on a special extra glamorous date with Mr. Husband, but not to a church potluck. Anyway, end of rant, but you see that’s what Barbie is trying to emulate.
Her hair, however is different: the poodle hairstyle was one favored by teenage girls. Seen here on the squeaky-clean America’s sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds:
Tumblr media
The playful, youthful hair pulls her back and keeps her from being *too* grown-up. It’s the first step in the balancing act that Barbie has always pulled off with aplomb: to represent adulthood without being too far out of reach of children’s imaginations.

🐉🌸♀️ With him being the kind of husband whose neverending favorite story to brag about to every new person he meets is how much of a miraculous fate it was that he was born much much later than he should have, just in time to attend NRC the same time as you did. You who stumbled upon a world that isn't yours, stayed at an abandoned dorm he in particular happened to frequent, and went outside for fresh air at the exact same moment he was passing by. He wouldn't get tired of how amazed he was that he found his princess in a school full of men, of all places. If that isn't fate, then what is?
And that's just the prequel to a long, long talk of him just reminiscing your time together at NRC with astonishing detail. He goes through it every holiday. Every Halloween. Every New Year's. Every birthday. Basically every opportunity he gets. It comes to a point where your children finish his sentences for him. It comes to a point where novels and plays and movies get made with your love story as the blueprint.
Your story gets so dramaticized and embellished that it barely resembles your memories anymore. And honestly? You prefer it that way. Nobody else but you and him will know what exactly happened between you two, and it will remain a precious memory-- a sort of secret, that the two of you will look back on fondly for the rest of your days.

The biggest clue M. L. Rio gives us to what actually happened at the end of 'If We Were Villains' isn't Pericles, allow me to elaborate:
Spoilers for 'If We Were Villains' by M.L. Rio below, obviously.
So, everyone talks about the Pericles symbolism and that being proof that James is alive, but I think there's stronger proof elsewhere. In the epilogue, when Oliver is told that James is dead, Filippa is said to have "a copy of Winter’s Tale open in her lap" (351).
If you haven't read The Winter's Tale, that's okay, it is a strange play. (Despite it being, in my opinion, Shakespeare's most explicitly sapphic play!!). But anyway, a key aspect of the plot is that a character everyone thinks is dead comes back to life at the end. I'll explain further:
So, in act three, scene two, a character named Hermione is said to have died after being accused of a crime she didn't commit. The audience sees her pass out, and she's carried offstage where it is said she died.
Hermione was accused of adultery and treason, and the person she was accused of cheating with, Polixenes, escapes before he can be killed for this crime with an advisor named CAMILLO — aka the same name as the gang's fight coordinator who knew James well / became Fillippa's fiancé.
Now, in the very last scene of the play, all the remaining characters gather back together including Camillo, as well as Leontes, the man who caused Hermione to "die," and who was consumed by grief and regret for the actions he took that lead to her death. Miraculously, during this scene, a friend of Hermione's named Paulina reveals that through Leontes's remorse and the resolution of this whole plot, Hermione is miraculously able to come back to life. It's unclear if this is through magic or if Hermione was just hiding out with Paulina all this time and now is able to return to her husband (booooo). She falls into Leontes's arms and everyone is happy again. This is a super weird plot point and doesn't make a lot of sense, but it does speak to the possibility of James being alive!
Interestingly, from that scene, there's also this line: "Bequeath to death your numbness, for from him / Dear life redeems you." - Winter's Tale, V.iii.1280129. To me, this line can easily be applied to James's guilt and reason for theoretically committing suicide. Is James able to find redemption through dying and then coming back to life?
I think the name Camillo is the strongest connection here - there's no way it's accidental. Additionally, this might be a reach, but Winter's Tale is only mentioned one other time in the book, on page 94 when present day-Fillipa mentions, "Frederick wants to branch out and try Winter’s Tale, but Gwendolyn’s insisting on Othello.” The comparison of these two plays seems deliberate - they aren't in the same genre, so they're an odd two plays to be choosing between for the fourth years. However, there is a KEY comparison between the two: they both involve husbands becoming convinced that their wives are being unfaithful, and they both involve said husbands killing their wives—the only difference is that in The Winter's Tale, Hermione comes back to life. Desdemona doesn't. Is M. L. Rio making a sneaky reference to the two possible interpretations of her ending here? Sort of presenting the reader with a choice of what interpretation they chose to believe?
I think it's so cool!!!

Lately I’ve been thinking about Yingxing wanting a sweet little spouse and keeping them in the house… You need help rubbing bubbles on his back… a traditional husband >_<
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CW: yandere, kidnapping, stockholm syndrome (a bit), (implied but not described) dub-con
Blade is more open-minded… He basically follows the Stellaron Hunters through various galaxies, takes care of each other with the members, and has witnessed countless cultures and stories... But Yingxing? A weaponsmith. A proud weaponsmith, obsessed with forging those miraculous weapons. What Yingxing needs is more…traditional. A sweet spouse, waiting for him at the door. Prepare bath water of suitable temperature. Cook food and keep it warm. Taking care of some of his…needs. Keep the little house tidy. Sleep together at night.
The place where Yingxing lives is not considered luxurious in Xianzhou. Even though he was already famous in Luofu at that time… orders and commission inquiries flew into his electronic workbench like snowflakes in the sky. He doesn't need a gorgeous house, practicality is the most important. Basic packages. Room, living room, kitchen, bathroom, work room, small garden, weapon forging station. He doesn't know much about dating… Baiheng jokingly teaches him the skills of dating and starting conversations. He still doesn't quite know. You look frightened. He's getting more and more frustrated… He doesn't mean to scare you. Yingxing just wants to start as a friend and then develop into your lifelong spouse.
Locking you in a house was not part of the plan. it's not like that.
Your fragile lips quivered, tears streaming down your cheeks, still wearing the same clothes you had before you were taken away. At the door is a lock forged from space materials. Can't open. You asked him, pretending to be relaxed, when it was time to go home. And Yingxing just uses cutlery to put the dumplings into your bowl. He thought delicious dumpling fillings might comfort you.
And you interpreted it as "shut up".
Those Xianzhou suspense novels and TV shows can’t be forgotten in your mind. What’s next? You're scared, this weaponsmith might scold you, be mean to you, punch you in the face… No one knows. No one saves you. In those first few weeks, you were always frightened, sobbing to sleep because of these assumptions, and having nightmares one after another. The list of chores displayed on the screen on the wall is truly insane. You're not his spouse or anything.
One night, this speculation reached a critical point. Yingxing arrived home later than usual. He's going to pull out a weapon and bury you. You think, just outside in the little yard. The storm begins to gather in your eyes, blurring your vision-
A wrinkled flower, the petals at the corners have been ravaged. Yingxing pressed the petals straight with her fingertips and thumbs, but they still bounced back. Like a little awkward. He sighed. "…Sorry…I heard people like to receive gifts on dates…"
You stretched out your hand, picked up the flower, sniffed and complained. "Squashed. Insincere."
"I will pay attention next time and bring you new flowers tomorrow."
Yingxing found that you have gradually integrated into the life at home and started to do housework. Although you still cross your arms to show that you don’t want to do certain chores or sit on his lap. You start to put in warm and moderate bath water. Cook some food. When he opened the door, your eyes lit up and you unconsciously moved closer to him. Not perfect. You still complain, especially after not being able to get permission to step out of the house. Getting permission to walk around the yard and the forge was a concession.
Yingxing takes a cat home. It was a kitten that he found clinging to his side while he was working. Creamy white and orange hairballs. She stretches her limbs, says hello, takes a nap, and plays with a ball of yarn.
The two of you decide to raise her together.

You Think It’s That Easy? _ Part 2 = Requested
[Yandere Human & Demon!Alastor x Arranged Marriage!Reader]
Part 1 — Part 2 (here)
Tumblr media
You heard of Alastor’s death from the news, an accidental while he was in the bayou in the dead of night, mistaken as a deer by a couple of hunters and feasted upon by their hunting dogs. When the mistake was realized, it was already too late. Alastor was already dead
But that wasn’t what concerned you. It was the news that tied Alastor’s death to the death or disappearance of another individual. The Bayou Serial Killer, which has been ever so active as if possessed, stopped all activities after Alastor’s death. Loyal fans of Alastor’s radio show said it was a coincidence, some even trying to provoke the silent killer to prove Alastor’s innocence. To everyone’s horror, Alastor was not so innocent
The Bayou Serial Killer is and was Alastor, the famous radio host. Though to you, Alastor was more than that, he was your childhood friend and a good partner of a false marriage to satisfy both side’s parents, then later continued to ward off suitors for either of you two. Now there was one more identity of Alastor in your mind
A heartless killer
You realized that the late nights Alastor had before you left were all Alastor’s murder playtime. You should have known when he brushed off your worries for his safety, he whispered that he’ll be fine since he is confident in his self-defense. He didn’t tell you it was because he was the killer everyone feared
Yet the moment you felt a chill down your spine was when you remembered the promises Alastor made to you
“I’ll keep you safe.”
“You know I can deal with your troubles if you just ask, right?”
“I won’t let anything or one harm you, never.”
“Anyone that crosses you will face so much misfortune, you know?”
“Hahaha! How dare they prey you like vultures when you have me.”
The suitors that came to you and disappeared soon after… You now know what happened to them. Alastor happened. He killed them all. But you can’t understand why. What was the reason behind the killing and how had you never known?
That wasn’t the issue. The issue was that you felt guilty and fearful of the news. Couldn’t you have prevented all Alastor’s killing if you were more attentive? If you two hadn’t been as distant from each other to living your preferred lives, would things be different?
As a reminder to not be too involved with yourself and ignore others, you kept a red radio on the shelves by your books in the living room. Also a reminder that Alastor was gone
It wasn’t long before weird things started happening. First was that the radio would start up itself without anyone going near it, it wasn’t even powered so it was practically impossible for someone to turn it on or for the radio to play anything. First it was classic music, then it was love songs you’d hum from time to time, after that was eerie slow music with screams from time to time
Then items around your home would disappear and reappear somewhere. Your work left undone would be miraculously done when you wake up to continue doing it, even when you napped on top of it
You tried taking it to the shop to fix it but the shop owner said it was in perfect condition, no malfunction. You tried throwing it away even, but it appeared back on your shelf at its usual place
But when you tried banishing the radio with paranormal experts, those people that helped you all disappeared and then their bodies turned up like something clawed at them or poke something sharp into them. As weird as it was, police chalked it up with a raging deer or bears. Neither were good ends
What you’re worried about was how your lover, now husband was missing ever since the radio started piecing out your name and sweet nicknames that reminded you of Alastor
It wasn’t until once you got drunk and stumbled through the streets, trying to get home. You were pulled into an alley with someone trying to force themselves on you. In that drunken daze, everything was a blur and you weren’t in your right mind, so you didn’t even know why you called out that name
“Help… someone… Help me…” You tried fighting off or at least struggle against the grip but your limbs all felt like noodles. “Al… Alastor…”
“Of course, Love.”
You didn’t see the shadows raise and clawed hands gripping so tightly on your assailant’s arm that they released you. You knew you slumped down against the wall, your head bobbing back and forth and your hair all over the place to the point of covering one of your eyes
You didn’t hear your rescuer tear your attacker like paper, blood overflowing like a spring fountain, yet none got onto you. The screams of pain and the cries of mercy from your attacker who has now become the prey
The scene you saw, your mind didn’t register it, you were way too intoxicated from all the alcohol you drank to drown out your loneliness. You left Alastor, then he died and his secrets brought to light made you feel like you were not supportive enough. You missed your husband who’s on missing posters. Everything was so frustrating and sad at the same time
When it was all done, Alastor, in his shadowy form, kneeled in front of you, staring into your eyes. His fingers snapped and both of you reappeared back at your home. You in Alastor’s hold, carried like a princess, like during the wedding you two pretended to have and Alastor carried you all the way to the dance floor
“You’re so red, Alastor.” You slurred, eying his coat that was in a shade different from how you remember, why was it red? He wears dark brown ones. Your finger poked his cheeks, “Your smile’s too wide, if you smile this much, you’ll hurt your cheers.”
“It’s fine, Dearest.” Alastor spoke. Did you even hear the radio filter over his voice?
“I want to dance… I missed dancing with you…” You lamented as you lowered your finger to lay on your stomach with a pouty frown. “It’s been so long…”
“I think you need to rest, Darling.” Alastor started moving to your room. How did he know? No, did you even notice the way his eyes glowed when you mentioned missing him?
When you were laid down on the bed and tugged in, your clothes were magically changed to clean ones comfortable for sleeping soundly. “You’re leaving when I fall asleep… I just know it…”
The urge can’t be ignored. Alastor spent too long waiting and he is ready. “Well, if you agree, we can be together forever.”
“We’ll be back again?”
“Yes. If you shake my hand and wear this.” Alastor showed you a familiar band of gold. He kept it all these years, when he could first go to Earth due to your soul being binded to his, he searched high and low for it. 
Your confused and tired mind honed in on the ring. A familiar and comforting thing you given up, tears swell and a hand reached for it. “We’ll be back? Alastor…”
“Yes.”
“Okay…”
When your eyes opened, you were met with a major headache and an unfamiliar room. Looking around, you tried to get your bearings. While you did, you tried to remember what happened. Was this some stranger’s home? You immediately lifted up the blanket and looked under, sighing when that didn’t seem to have happened in your drunken state
You finally took in your surroundings. It wasn’t unfamiliar now, it was nostalgic. A replica of the appearance of what was your shared bedroom with Alastor when you two were still playing house. You shook your head, expecting all this to be your hallucination
Yet it didn’t fade back to what was supposed to be your bedroom. Confusion and fear set in. As did the memories of last night. What happened? Did you hallucinate Alastor appearing and saving you? But that didn’t look like Alastor. That can’t be Alastor. A monster. A demon. That’s what it was
Though Alastor was the only one to make you feel that at peace and calm and relaxed. The voice was his, just with an odd radio filter
The door to the room opened and the Alastor you met last night appeared in your sights. He closed the door behind him, smiling, “Welcome home, Dear Wife of mine.”
As Alastor had sworn, he brought you to Hell. You were his and he was yours. Try to run and it won’t be successful. For the two of your souls are bound together.
Tumblr media
Note: I'mma out of ideas for this one, so before you ask for a part 3. Just know that the likelihood of it happening is very very rare since I got other series that's more active now. There could be trivia or asks, that's what I consider to be extra parts to this one.
Circe Y. 
My Works: MASTERLIST
Taglist: (those that don't specify to being in all the works' taglist will automatically be assumed to be in whichever series they comment on)

The Blitz (Badly Explained)
Right so we start off with Aziraphale in a church doing a drug deal with a bunch of Nazis, except there were translation errors and he brought a bunch of books. Aziraphale is actually living his best life doing spy work for the police but his handler is actually a Nazi as well, and he does the gayest fucking surprised face in the history of television
Nazi-Mycroft threatens to murder him but then Crowley hop-scotches down the aisle like his goddamn wedding day to get to his husband at the altar. The head groomsman & bridesmaid are Nazis, and the vicar is pointing a gun at them, so Crowley goes Nah babe let's blow this joint (literally)
Aziraphale is traumatised by the loss of three of a billion books he owns (because THESE ones are full of terrible, inaccurate prophecies) but Crowley's like Don't worry babe, I got you and he hands over the miraculously-OK books. Aziraphale literally sends wedding invites, buys a cottage, & picks out names their six snake babies (snabies) on 👏 the 👏 spot 👏
Crowley just walks off like Yeah alright get in the car you dork, whereby Aziraphale attempts to give him road head for saving his books
They pull up at a theatre for yet ANOTHER drug deal except Crowley couldn't get the weed plants to grow properly (he hadn't discovered yelling at plants yet, that was in the 70s) so he brings bottles of whiskey. Mrs H rips the demon a new one because they got smashed in the explosion, like can a girl not just have ONE SHOW without EVERYTHING GOING WRONG. What is wrong with you people, it's not like we're at WAR or anything, fuck
As much as Aziraphale enjoys watching Crowley get torn to shreds by an old woman, he volunteers as tribute to be a magician in her show, and Mrs H agrees because she's debating just retiring to the countryside
Back at the bookshop, Aziraphale stims while practising his magic tricks while Crowley has a little improv show, then they take a trip to the Tesco Express round the corner to top up on bread, milk, eggs, oh and a gun
Meanwhile the arch nemesis that Crowley never knew he had, is plotting his downfall in Hell. He bippity boppity boos the Nazis into spy zombies and sends them out into the world to get the Hot Goss on Crowley. This raises no alarm bells, something something bombs going off and everything's on fire, honestly people have better shit to do than worry about people wandering around with their arms falling off. Now I think about it, the zombies probably blended in better than I thought
The zombies eat the guy at the Tesco checkout and then follow Aziracrow to the theatre, where Aziraphale is playing a magician in the school's talent show & Crowley is that dad hiding in the back pretending that's not his kid
Just to spice things up, Aziraphale convinces Crowley to aim for his mouth (in front of all those people?! Aziraphale you slag!)
The magic show is a hit and Aziraphale stims in victory with his little feather boa, but then suddenly Crowley's arch nemesis rocks up with three zombies and his own little detective file on Crowley (which is just one photo. Honestly there's not even a backup photo, like this guy needs to watch some Law & Order)
Aziraphale the Kleptomanic strikes again and the Dark Council end up with a leaflet to Aziraphale's next show instead of the photo (while it wasn't recorded, they had an AMAZING time. That Fell the Marvelous is quite good, isn't he? Yeah no, he DOES look a bit familiar, hmmm)
Crowley and Aziraphale finish off their evening with getting absolutely hammered while fight-flirting, just their usual bedtime routine at this point, and then-

hey can you write that Carlos Sainz is his wife Y/N (she is also Spanish) are nicknamed the couple the funny ones in the paddock because they often play pranks on each other on TikTok and they often tease each other because they have the same personality as it's their humor and that they are both tactile
glitter and lucky socks
Tumblr media
the air in imola crackled with nervous energy, race day for the emilia romagna grand prix. but amidst the tension, a familiar giggle echoed through the ferrari garage. there, carlos sainz, in his pristine red race suit, was doubled over, socks clutched in his hand.
"no, no, no!" he wheezed, laughing so hard he was struggling to breathe. "that can't be real! y/n, you didn't!"
across the garage, you, his ever-playful wife, smirked, phone in hand. "y/n! you dyed my lucky socks pink?" carlos' voice, laced with mock horror, reached your ears.
you winked, feigning innocence. "what socks, cariño? i haven't seen any pink socks around."
carlos knew that look. it was the same mischievous glint he saw reflected back in his own eyes every time he'd snuck toothpaste into your shampoo or replaced your coffee with a peppermint smoothie (much to your initial disgust since you hated it, but ultimate amusement).
"oh, come on," he whined, getting up and moving to grab you from your waist. "mi amor ¿por qué debes burlarte de mí? (my love why must you tease me?). y/n still holding up her phone, to record her shenanigans, had small tears in her eyes following her husband's reaction. after posting the tiktok the caption read: 'sending some extra luck to my favorite driver (don't worry, they're his backup pair) #f1 #pranksforsainz #losdivertidos
the video had already blown up, with comments like "y/n is savage" and "carlos, your wife is a menace!" erupting like virtual popcorn.
charles leclerc, carlos' teammate, strolled by, phone in hand. he glanced at the video, then at carlos' pink-socked foot, and burst out laughing. "mate, you're doomed!"
carlos groaned, but a smile tugged at his lips. you two were known in the paddock as 'the funny ones'. your constant pranks, playful teasing, and the undeniable fact that you seemed to share the same mischievous personality – it was all part of your humor, your way of showing affection. as charles saw the way carlos and y/n looked at eachother he chuckled as he remembered the times carlos had put a whoopie pillow down on y/n's chair infront of the ceo of ferrari much to her horror or how y/n had replaced carlos's hair gel with glitter. the two were madly in love and in such a serious world, they still found time to be human.
charles continued to recall how carlos would always hold you in anyway he could, how he would grasp on to your pinky finger in a crowd, how y/n would always hug carlos from behind, the way carlos and y/n's hand were permanently intertwined. amidst all the pranks and jokes, the couple knew each other inside and out.
later, after the race (which carlos, miraculously, managed to win, pink socks and all), you found him in the pits, a towel draped over his shoulders.
"so," you said, leaning in for a kiss that left him breathless, "about that luck i sent your way..."
carlos chuckled, pulling you into a hug. "you're lucky i love you," he mumbled against your hair.
"and you're lucky i put the real socks back in your bag before you left for the grid," you whispered, earning a playful shove that sent you both into another fit of laughter.
as mechanics swarmed around them, celebrating the win, charles shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. there they go again, he thought. those two are a riot. but then he saw you plant a big, lipstick-stained kiss on carlos' cheek, and a warmth spread through him. maybe a little paddock romance wasn't such a bad thing after all.
🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
well i hope you liked it! thank you for sending in your request and do send more <3 happy reading! 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️

Husband Plays Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx
Recap: just beat Gamer 3
Gonna go back through and collect all the orbs and things
I can't do most of the ones to get the things because I don't have all of Chat's abilities yet
Soundwave has textures now! She still needs a bit more, but like, her arms are soundwaves. that's cool.
(there's evil clones of everyone running around as a main plot now)
oh I guess we're doing this now
"we have reason to believe you're not yourself" Could it be the weird doritos behind her?
Why is this desert themed?
oh it is Chloe
Chloe was happier with the bee. but Hawkmoth couldn't grant her that power?
Also why was that the only one voice acted? Why wasn't the whole game like that?
Yes I get to punch Luka! I get to punch all the Luka! [game of the year?] A game. in the year.
(A Kagami clone appears to fight) nooo worst game of the year
I like this computer chip aesthetic and Chloe's circuitry dress. it looks nice.
There's one giant glaring plot hole here: Hawkmoth can't have two akumas out at the same time unless he's Scarlet Moth.
It would be nice to have an explanation in the game
I like how the game is getting better as it goes but there's still some glaring control issues that are holding it back.
all right Luka beating time
what the fuck? [Kagami can teleport now]
man that charger would've been great for Ivan, instead they just put giant shoulder pads on Kagami
am I stuck? god this game sucks sometimes
why does the first two sections have music ripped from the show and then these two have customs?
oh there is another one! Let's just beat up Tom
I can't stand on top of the brick trees? I thought that was their whole design purpose!
I like this Egyptian-esque styling with the circuitry, but also these triangles are just Doritos
Tumblr media
do not worry citizens it is I! Building Noir!
what did that button do? it has to do something, that's the rules
um. I was in the building again. (he tried to repeat this to get a picture for a few solid minutes. it didn't work.)
Tumblr media
This is some really strong wire.
Kagami could totally take more hits than Luka.
it would be nice to explore these areas without the akuma stuff. also didn't we leave the neighborhood earlier to go to fucking notre dame
I think we reached the boss fight section.
I hit her.
"can you deal with more of my clones?" I just gotta beat the shit out of you.
You know one of the things I miss from the actual series is Ladybug saying "what am I supposed to do with this"
Clonika has elements of Audrey's akuma. the glitter queen.
what? what the fuck is THAT?
(centipede pops out of the ground and gags and wraps up Chloe)
That's a whole different set of kinks than this show typically does
so the sphinx is an entirely new miraculous I guess?
Tumblr media
her face is saying "is that really a problem"
Tumblr media
Chat Noir can now smash whatever he wants.
why are these upgrades so useless

Twenty Years Later: Joel Miller x F!Reader - One Shot #4
Tumblr media
One Shot #4: The Artist Formerly Known As Joel Miller
Plot: Joel gets another little piece of himself back in the form of music.
Word Count: 700+
Warnings: none (for once lol)
A/N: A little bit of well deserved fluff. I feel like I haven’t written anything for TYL that isn’t tainted with sadness but this is a rare dose of pure serotonin for y’all. Hope you like it!
—————
It was a truth long denied; Joel Miller needed music.
His long held dream of singing and strumming for a living was put to rest when Sarah was a blip on an ultrasound. There was no way to support a family on bar gigs. He hadn’t minded all that much, knowing the million to one odds he’d make it. Still, Joel wasn’t 100% Joel without a song.
In the three months that he’d been settled in Jackson, there’d been shockingly little rest. First there was fixing up the house. Nothing major, adjusting the furniture to his and Y/n’s liking and general cleaning. Then there were the emotional adjustments. Ellie and Y/n took a long while to ease out of the fear Silver Lake had left them with. Not to mention the new life the three of them had been given and how wildly different it was from the one they were used to. Joel and Y/n got set up with the work rotation of the town and Ellie started to (with great hesitation) socialize with the other kids.
It wasn’t until three months in that Joel allowed himself to think about the little things.
He’d been in conversation with a neighbor on patrol one day. An older guy who’d miraculously managed to live into his 70s in a post-Cordyceps world. They were talking about something and somehow it came up that Joel used to play guitar. The man mentioned that there was an old Taylor sitting in his spare bedroom. He’d never been any good and was too old to get any better so it was up for grabs.
Joel immediately accepted.
He beamed as he strode back home with the instrument clutched in one hand. Sailing through the front door, he let go of it only long enough to leave his snow coated boots at the door and remove his gloves.
“Rose,” he called out.
“Kitchen,” his wife called back. He could hear the sink running.
Joel moved through the house to where Y/n stood at the counter doing dishes. Sensing his presence before she even heard him, she looked over her shoulder and her face lit up. First upon seeing her husband, then at what he was carrying.
“Oh my gosh.”
Joel didn’t even try to temper his joy. “I know,” he smiled.
Y/n flicked the faucet off, her attention fully focused somewhere else. “Where?”
“Bud down the street,” Joel nodded in the general direction of their neighbor, “Said I could have it since no one was using it.”
There were only two things Y/n wanted for their patch-worked family: happiness and health. Music was directly correlated to a percentage of Joel’s happiness, making the guitar a gift from God himself.
She threw her hands out expectantly, “Well?”
Joel left the doorway and headed towards the living room, Y/n grabbing a towel to dry her hands and following suit. They perched themselves on opposite ends of the couch.
Joel adjusted the guitar on his knee before pausing, “It’s been so long.”
“It’s musical bike riding,” Y/n washed away his hesitation, “Play me something, cowboy.”
He chuckled under his breath, waiting just another few seconds before pressing down on the strings and forming a cord. The callouses needed weren’t a problem due to years of manual labor. Y/n and him both grimaced in anticipation of what twenty year old strings might sound like. Surprisingly, they were decent as Joel strummed once.
“Not bad,” he commented, “Little out of tune.”
But Y/n didn’t hear the imperfection. Nothing touched her. She was too struck by the sight in front of her. Joel, back in his element, plucking the strings. The way his hunched frame hanging over the guitar’s body was relaxed as ever. How his fingers found their way as naturally across the fretboard as if they’d touched the wood every day since Texas.
Joel was transported with each note. Back to some spiritual space where he had no fears and no worries. Nothing could break through his front door and destroy his life. No one could hurt him. The world didn’t cease to exist, it reframed itself. For every strum, every pick, every change of chord, the world held itself together without his help. He could just be.
However many minutes passed, neither one of them were sure. Y/n pulled herself back to reality enough to remember she had to finish cleaning before grabbing dinner from the mess hall. She swiped the tears beginning to form and got off the couch. Joel didn’t move, still transfixed.
Smiling, she leaned over her husband and kissed the top of his head. The guitar’s song sang sweetly for the rest of their evening.

SPEAKING OF MARRIAGE. have you ever drawn them at their wedding recently? what would their dresses look like.. what would be their song.. who would be invited.. would it be huge or lowkey.. would anything go wrong or would it go off without a hitch.. inquiring minds want to know!
I sadly haven't drawn them in their matching wedding dresses recently 😭 I think the last time I did was this Encanto Redraw
Tumblr media
I really need to update them though especially since I had wedding lore for Lore itself more fleshed out.
AS FOR THEIR WEDDING SONG...maaan I really need to put time aside to specifically put together their actual wedding playlist. There are both SO MANY choices for them yet none because all the songs I have picked for them are too fast pace for a more traditional wedding vibes...I DID cheat a little while answering this ask and look up a list of good R&B songs to play at weddings and found out Jamie Foxx and Beyonce's duet "When I First Saw You" is a REALLY good fit for these two.
When it comes to guests, they would def invite all their close friends (so everyone in Briar Patch basically). Pinokuni is def Jack's best man with Kai being one of his groomsmen while Ashe is for sure one of Nana's bridesmaids along with Xia being a bridesmate.
I see Jack and Nana getting married as the cliche fairytale ending for Beanstalked so Jack SOMEHOW accidentally invites all the cool folks they met throughout their journey together. He'd do it in the "I wanna be nice just so no one feels personally excluded because all these guys were really nice and helped us save the world" and not really expect anyone to truly show up save for 3 or 4 people...
...and then Jack and Nana find out "Oh everyone we sent an invite to actually showed up and now we actually have to figure out how to seat 50+ people in one location"
So it started off initially planned to be lowkey only for it to become VERY highkey at the last second.
It isn't much of a problem though because the spot they have their wedding is outside. SPECIFICALLY at Nana's dad's final resting place..which sounds wild BUT LEMME EXPLAIN--
When he died, he purposely made sure he was in his big ass wolf form so that he wouldn't be hauled off by hunters and taken from his family. So there is a giant wolf skeleton that is located in the Lupine Forest that is kind of one with nature now so it's covered in greenery. It's a little unsettling to those unaware of the lore behind it while also still being serene. Nana goes there often when things get too hard so she can talk to her dad.
She wanted to have her wedding there so she could make sure her dad was present. And Jack was more than willing to oblige her.
Miraculously, even with the giant guest list, everything goes off without a too much of a hitch. I wouldn't say entirely smoothly since that's a lot of people and there's some shenanigans afoot especially at the wedding reception since that's when everyone parties.
BUT it's a very fun experience for them both, even for Nana who is the #1 antisocial of the village.
The couple did take a very well deserved honeymoon in a much quieter place afterwards though. Poor things had to recharge and fully process they were husband and wife now.

ask stolen from zoe-onesama Speaking of Émilie, do you think that she could have been a bad mother before her death, coma, or disappearance? Because, from what I've heard, Émilie had been dead, in a coma, or missing for about a year before the events of MLB, and if Adrien had been homeschooled for about most of his childhood, then that could indicate that his mother was aware of this and didn't do anything about it. Either Émilie was overprotective of Adrien and his wellbeing that she and her husband had to shelter him from the public, or that she was in a horrible situation with her husband from behind the scenes, ergo feeling powerless to do something about her son's sheltered life. There are so many things to imagine who Émilie was really like, but so far, we don't have enough substance to even care about her.
At the risk of spoiling how I'm characterizing Emelie in my AU,
I'm more leaning towards the idea that she was the first to be overprotective of Adrien. I think, initially, Gabriel didn't care as much about having a child as much as he did about pleasing his wife, that Emelie was the one who wanted Adrien more.
Because of this and because he's a sentimonster, I imagine Emelie wanted to closely monitor him and ensure he was developing as a normal child should, that nothing went wrong in his "creation." Being a mother AND a creator of a life form I imagine would spur on some really hard worries, and since we don't actually have an indication of what Gabriel was like beforehand, its more likely he didn't care what Emelie did with her new toy child, only that her wants were sated.
I think Emelie was overprotective to a worrying degree, but because she genuinely loved Adrien and since it came from a place of love, though it was unhealthy, I wouldn't instantly categorize it as abusive. She clearly gave him a lot of attention and put a lot of work into making sure he was educated, (we know this because after her death Adrien got desperate enough to start sneaking out and running away) and I think this habit only got worse as her illness settled in.
With how sick she got, I imagine she also ended up being at home more often than not, which meant... well, more time with Adrien. I don't think it occurred to her that, should she die, she should set up precautions to ensure Adrien eventually got that same love and attention after her death. I think she was more occupied with spending time with him in what time she had left, it really wasn't a thought that struck her, that maybe, just maybe, the guy who was married to her because he loved HER and was COMPLETELY AMBIVALENT ABOUT THEIR CHILD wouldn't care what happened to Adrien after his wife died.
The characterization I'm leaning on for my AU at least, is that Emelie wanted a child and Gabriel just wanted her happy. Because of this, after her passing, the realization that he never saw Adrien as human became abundantly clear. He instead saw Adrien as a product of his wife's work, which is the reason he never let him outside. I think if Gabriel had it his way, Adrien would sit on a shelf with his miraculous and his wife's Movie and their little mementos n' shit.
TDLR: I don't think Emelie was in an abusive relationship with Gabriel at all, but I don't think any of the dynamics at play were healthy. I don't think Gabriel EVER saw Adrien as his son, instead seeing him as a product of his wife - no different than if she had made a sweater or sculpted a statue. I think, initially, Emelie was overprotective of Adrien as a precaution to ensure that as a sentimonster, he 'grew up' healthy like any other child, and as her illness took her and she became more and more of a homebody, she leaned on his support and his presence as a comfort in her last days. I think if Emelie knew Gabriel had been so ambivalent about their son, she would've put a lot more work into ensuring Adrien got out eventually.
Maybe she did. Maybe, she made a will, and maybe Gabriel ignored it because he's so god damn proud.
Or maybe, she was hoping Nathalie would step in.
Then again maybe I'm totally wrong! Maybe Gabriel used to be really cool and they lived in this giant supermansion together and the guy just went ape shit after his wife died. I just think the weird leaps he's taking should be an indicator that something has always been VERY WRONG with Gabriel and maybe Emelie, too! I'm not talking abuse, I'm talking like...
ok so I've lost a lot of people in my life and I lost some important people at a very young age and that damaged me super fuckin' bad. you know what I DIDN'T daydream of? Putting their fucking corpses in like a deprivation tank and finding a way to bring them back to life.
WE DON'T KNOW IF GABRIEL KNEW THE MIRACULOUS COULD GRANT WISHES WHEN EMELIE DIED.
WE DON'T.
we know Gabe and Nathalie and Em like, went adventuring and shit! We know (or as far as I remember from the website) Nath found the peacock and butterfly miraculous, and that eventually Emelie used the peacock and that's what killed her.
We don't know... how much... Gabriel knew about the miraculous before that. Listen, if he knew that the cat and ladybug miraculous were capable of Doing That Shit (aka granting wishes if put together), wouldn't he have kickstarted his plans instantly into evil fuckery to try and find them instantly? I can't imagine a guy desperate enough to plonk his dead wife into a clear coffin would go on eBay listings trying to find them for a fuckin year.
What I'm getting at is that it seems like Gabe idolized Emelie or their relationship on some level, and that he defined himself by how he loved her. So when he LOST her, when he lost that column of his life, his real character was drawn out. Grief makes the worst of us yeah, but we have no clear indication that Gabriel KNEW there would be a method for bringing Emelie back when he hid her corpse under their mansion.
like that's some unhinged shit.
its ALSO some unhinged shit I don't think Gabriel would ever let Emelie know he was capable of while she was still alive, I think he valued her and her opinion and her happiness too much.
I just woke up so Ive gone clear past normal conversation and straight into ranting, but essentially I think Gabriel's weird shitty personality traits were sated by being married to someone he defined himself by, and that he was always capable of being an abusive fuckhat but would never show that in front of Em. I think he's never seen Adrien as more than a byproduct of Emelie and if Em knew he was going to do this insane shit, considering she was also unhinged enough to have a baby using a fukcking magic god bird brooch, she would've taken Adrien, maybe with Nathalie, and fucking DIPPED.

9 days til' Christmas
going on a date with singleparent!miguel o'hara ⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅̩̩͙‧͙ ‧͙̩̩͙❆ ͙͛ ˚₊⋆
14 days til' Christmas ← previous part
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Olive Garden. That's where your date with Miguel was. If nothing else screamed lame-ass parents to the people around you, the two children sitting behind you would. Gabi and Mari were sitting in the booth right behind you and Miguel's and you occasionally peeked your head over to see if they were alright.
Miguel wanted to take you out somewhere a little fancier but the two of you couldn't find anyone to watch your daughters so you had to bring them along. The girls agreed on giving you your alone time as long you took them to Olive Garden.
So here you were. Two adults on a romantic date at an Olive Garden. Miguel did a good job making you feel like you weren't on the lamest date you had ever been on. With your classic 'mom cars' parked outside.
It was funny how this was probably the most pathetic date to anyone watching from the outside, but for you, it was the most fun you had ever had since the divorce. You and Miguel went back and forth telling the craziest stories about your daughters, high school days, parenting, and much more.
Suddenly the smell of pasta was everywhere and the dim lighting was romantic. The sticky floors from spilled juice and little kids running around faded into the background along with the tacky tiled floors and your daughter being tablet kids playing Roblox together.
"What's your biggest fear?" Miguel asked randomly as he finished his pasta.
"Wow that's a tough question," you started as you took a sip of your wine.
"Here, I'll go first. I'm afraid of losing someone I love and feeling the way I felt about my wife, it was the worst feeling, ever," he confessed.
You inched your hand towards his grazing your finger against his hand. When he didn't flinch at your touch you placed your hand over his. You squeezed his hand and kept your hand on his as you searched for his eyes.
"My biggest fear is losing Mari in Target," you started earning a laugh from him.
"and not being a good enough role model for my daughter," you continued.
"If that's your fear you have nothing to worry about. You're incredible," he reassured.
"Oh you flatter me," you said playfully rolling your eyes at him playfully.
The two of you continued to talk about the thing one usually thinks about in the shower. The kinds of things you tell to the moon. Losing track of time talking the two of you didn't realize that the girls had gotten unusually quiet. You both peeked over into their booth to see them both sound asleep leaning on each other.
Miguel very impressively carried the two of them to your cars. "Hey, this was nice. Thank you," you said.
"Of course, just kind of wish we weren't in an Olive Garden parking lot," he quipped, causing a giggle to arise from your throat.
Before your mind could register what was happening, Miguel took you by the waist and pulled you in. "May I please kiss you?" he asked. So respectful, you thought to yourself as you began to smile from ear to ear shyly.
"Yes, you may," you answered as you got on your tippy toes and pressed your lips.
The kiss was much more different than the one at the hockey rink. This one tasted like Olive Garden mint chocolate and the garlic bread you shared. It felt less like kissing. You were tasting each other, he could taste the pasta sauce and untold secrets on your tongue. You could feel the attraction from the way that his tongue was exploring your mouth.
The two of you finally managed to pull away from each other miraculously after hearing Gabi tapping on the window of the car she was in and making kissing faces. The two of you laughed at her teasing and said your goodbyes.
. . .
The next few months went by in a flash. It included lots of more dates with Miguel, Gabi, and Mari growing a lot closer, and you taking Miguel's advice and trying to make amends with your ex-husband. It wasn't exactly going well but you tried your hardest not to fight with him for Mari and your peace.
It didn't exactly go as planned but with some (ex)couple's therapy and some visits to a rage room. The two of you found a working way to be frustrated with each other but not be so explosive about it.
Things were looking up for Mari and with your relationship with Miguel. Minutes together turned to hours, then into days, then weeks, and months. As soon as you knew it it had been about two years since you and Miguel started seeing each other romantically.
You were spending another Christmas with Miguel and Gabi. It was Christmas Eve and the two of you had one more thing to get for the girls. They randomly asked(begged) for a botanical Lego set. You and Miguel drove to the only toy shop in the city that would have it.
Once you arrived you could smell the familiar smell of playdough and baby oil. The store was surprisingly empty. No one else seemed to be there except for you, Miguel, and their cashier. The last time you had been here you were fighting with Miguel over the last Lego set.
You let out a small chuckle at the memory. "What's so funny?" Miguel asked as the two of you walked hand in hand to the Lego section of the shop.
"Nothing I'm just thinking of the last time I was here when you stole that toy from me," you quipped, giving his side a nudge.
"I don't regret it. Now I'm dating the beautiful woman I stole that toy from," he chuckled, giving your hand a squeeze.
The two of you purchased the set and got back in the car. You spent the car ride home singing along to the holiday songs playing on the radio. When the two of you arrived at your place you found candles lit in almost every corner. "Miguel? What's the meaning of this?" you asked.
"Just, keep walking," he said as he guided you to your living room. There sat Gabi and Mari who were supposed to be at Raphael's place. The two of them ran up to you and hugged you. "Surprise mama," Mari whispered with little tears in her eyes as she fixed her eyes on something behind you.
You turned around and kneeled before Miguel with a little box opened up displaying the most beautiful gold engagement ring with microwave side stones and a diamond in the middle. Not too big but not very small.
"Cariño, if you'd let me, I'd love to be yours forever, I want to be the man you call 'my husband', will you marry me?" he asked, looking into your eyes tears forming after seeing you and your daughter's tear-filled eyes.
"Yes, of course, yes," you sighed as you hugged him and helped him to his feet after he slid the ring on your finger. It was perfect. Everything about the moment was perfect. Rafel had even helped organize and decorate everything.
You had all come a long way since two years ago and for the first time, you could proudly say that you were thankful for getting into an argument with another parent over a Lego set.
. . .
the end <3

Sonic Underground: Guardians
Notes:
Aleena had tried to ensure all of her children were in deposited safely, but unfortunately, this did not happen as planned
Uncle Chuck
Chuck had heard of what his sister-in-law had been told by some crackpot oracle and tried to head off Aleena as she dropped off her children
However, he was only able to locate retrieve Sonic, and, due to the circumstances, believed his other nieces to be dead
Furious with both Aleena and himself, he went underground with Sonic
Chuck and Sonic were on their own for a few years, with Chuck helping the resistance where he could while helping Sonic figure out and work on his speed
Sonic (8) found an abandoned Tails (3) when he was exploring a woodlands area during one of their "Camping Trips" and brought him home
Chuck wasn't planning on adopting Tails (having planned on trying to locate the pups parents or at least drop him off at the Sanctuary), but ended up getting as attached to the kit as much as Sonic had
He was mostly winging it with them (apparently most people don't let their 4 year old disassemble and reassemble a tank engine to see how it works or check their 9 year old's running speed with a police speedometer)
He lost his leg during his last 1-1 encounter with Robotnik at the start of his takeover (a fair enough trade for the destroying the dictator's eyes and arm in his opinion)
Chuck was the initial reason Robotnik hated hedgehogs due to their shared history
Lady Elodie Windermere
Lady Windermere is a Bear (bc she's apparently not a bear but a dog in canon???)
Elodie had just lost her husband when Sonia showed up on her doorstep
Sonia was her sign to keep moving on, and she dedicated herself to Sonia's happiness and safety
Due to Robotnik's hatred of hedgehogs, she told everyone, including Sonia herself, that her ward was a Tenrac
going so far as to hire a tenrac maid in order to fake medical records for her protection
Sonia was made to cover her ears (the key visual difference between the two species as well) when going out in public and as she grew older, hide her back quills with custom reinforced corsets
As one of the highest aristocrats, she covered this by setting a new fashion trend of "earcaps" amongst the younger members of the court, allowing Sonia to blend in further
When Sonia's super strength revealed itself, Elodie worked with her daughter personally on her control, working with her in their gym as well as hiring self defense trainers for Sonia to have a good outlet
Went full Mama Bear mode on Sleet and Dingo when they DARED suggest arresting her daughter
Her arrest caused much scandal amongst the aristocrats, as she was the one most turned to when they needed a listening ear, and a resulting source of several dozen secrets NO ONE wanted to reach Robotnik's ears
Farrell
Farrell is a Cricket
former war veteran (medic)
he lost most of his upper right arm and was honorably discharged
despite his service, it wasn't long before he was living on the streets, where he spent the next 3 decades mastering the all the skills he'd need to survive and establishing a low-crime ring
Of all Farrell's students, Manic was his favorite, and made sure his kid had "nothin' but the best"
best as he could manage anyways
despite the attention it drew, he encouraged Manic's "jam sessions"
when Manic was younger, it wasn't uncommon for him to fall asleep to Farrell's chirping lullaby
their hideout was an abandoned weapon factory in the industrial district that the Swatbots "miraculously" kept missing
Manic learn a lot of his tech skills from playing with the old abandoned machinery

I should be asleep right now but I thought of this dialogue for an argument between NB and RS Ed and had to share it, I hope that’s OK 🙃
“Out there, you’re outrageous Eddie Munson. Notorious EX-Groupie Fucker and professional fool. In here your Ed, husband and father so don’t pull that shit with me. I don’t care if you played to 10,000 or 100,000 people last night. Get. Over. Yourself. Make yourself useful and go change your daughters diaper”
I imagine him having a huff about something like Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street when Margot Robbie throws the water in his face. Maybe he went a-bit too hard with the guys the night before after a local show and came home fucked up, waking the girls up and causing chaos at 3am.
omg. please always share the dialogue bc this is so good.
he went out in the afternoon, was out all night, stumbled home and almost woke up the twins in their cribs and the other girls bc he was so shit faced.
you were livid beyond belief. eddie had a few bumps in the road but mostly when the girls came along he sobered up. too scared of fucking them up and being like his own dad.
you knew he’d drank, you could smell it, and by the crusted blood around his nose he’d snorted something.
the baby monitor shrilled and he laid unmoving. you stood at the door of the bed, watching him, jaw clenched in pure rage. “get up.” you barked, yanking the covers off him.
he groaned, low and miserable, muttering. “get the fuck up.”
“what the hell-“
“-no, don’t you dare.” you snap, lifting a finger at him. “go say bye to the girls. we’re leaving.”
eddie’s blinking awake, confused and a little jostled. you glare at him so furious so careless and he knew how that made you feel. being so drunk he was incoherent and around the girls?? he knew that was a sensitive spot for you, reminding you of your own childhood.
“baby, wait. let me explain-“
“- I don’t want your explanation. I don’t want shit from you right now but to get out of my house.” you snapped. “you have ten minutes and I’m taking the girls to farrah’s for the weekend so you better go.”
you don’t give him a chance, turning on your heel. eddie is sick, and not just from the hangover. he feels guilty enough to cry, hugging the girls tightly and whispering that they’ll have the best girls weekend with auntie farrah. they’re too excited, too young to know why they’re really going. he looks at you, all sad eyes and downturned lips. he tries to kiss you, but you turn walking to the driver’s side.
“you better remember who you are now, munson. not who you used to be. you’re a different man and you better act like it.”
then you’re gone. gone with his babies. furious and hurt, and he’s miserable, racked with guilt and regret.
eddie starts going back to his therapist after that, back to his meetings, back on track. even if it was just one night… he wants to keep it that way.
he doesn’t show up, miraculously. he knows that would make you even more furious. he calls the girls at night to hear about their day and tries not to sob when you refuse his calls. he sends you a bouquet to the house, big and over the top, a letter that’s four pages long of ramblings and regrets, his heart poured out on every line.
