how the fuck do i kick the entire planet into not doing bad shit. how do i bring back forever use objects being the norm. how do i thanos snap plastic and overpackaging and things science has demonstrated beyond doubt to be harmful out of existence. How do i destroy normative thinking from my tiny small individual life that might lead me to meet maybe max a couple thousands people let alone bond and inlfuence them. how i live without participating to unethical shit when the entire structure of everything pushes me to it and destroyed the alternatives or made them luxuries. the situation is too late to do things half way and the gvernement isn't even doing that on the things needed to keep everybody alive and insisted on hosting two of the most waste inducing sports events. My mind is gonna break get me out of here to where i can do SOMETHING anything without having to think of capitalist destructive structures PLEASE

ppl who only care about the aesthetics of things do kinda drive me crazy a bit
#i JUST want native wild flowers. ok?#idgaf if perennials dont bloom all year i dont care if theyre not always colorful i love green as a color too AND THATS NOT THE POINT OF#ME GETTING FLOWERS ANYWAYS! i want native flowers for the native pollinators and probably other native plants for birds n shit#but all i can find at plant places is stuff thats like. the same species but not native#its just so stupid its not sold as a default like they literally grow here. they literally THRIVE here#and it feels like everyone im talking to irl about flowers only cares about whatever looks good like plz cmon plz i beg of you#fellow humans please. oh my fuck. give a fuck about something soon bc the worst thing to be is the guy at the end of the world who knows#its ending but is smiling while its on fire bc you gave up hope and indulged in the things that are pleasing to you instead of just getting#th fucking native lobelia species jsdsdkds#like idk about you but i at least want my soul to fucking rest easy knowing i did the best i could instead of giving so much about#aesthetics that it overrides my ability to make a idk perhaps more moral decision. ik flowers arent the most pressing issue but native#species dying is. and if you're already getting flowers theres literally no reason not to just get the native version of whatever#sometimes its hard for me to want to just 'let people enjoy things' when enjoying things means putting your time/effort/energy/money/etc.#into shit you very easily could have picked something more ethical or better for the world w.#it just feels like everything is dying around me and i dont know how to stop it so i want to do my best to help whats dying where i am to#try to keep it alive and it just feels like other people around me dont have that as a priority at all and its infuriating.#i genuinely get pretty emotional when i think about native species dying and how everything in temperate climates is being overtaken by#european or japanese species instead. probably more but those are the two i see the most. when we have plenty of nagive species here#like the same thing just native but idk maybe it doesnt have enough eurocentric features 🤪 sjsjsksjsjsks

would i be the asshole for contacting my ex to ask them if they could stop talking about me online to a community that knows who i am? (🥐)
tw: kinda emotionally abusive relationship
bg info
me (24f) and my ex (28) were in a three month relationship three years ago following a whole year of friendship. they were my first partner and i came out as a lesbian to everyone during our relationship. when we were together, they were 24 and i was 20. i was very emotionally dependent on them when i was 20 due to mental health issues and so were they which is probably one of the reasons why our relationship was as explosive as it was. i looked up to them, my whole emotional world revolved around them, and our friendship/relationship was the only thing i had in my life at the time. they constantly asked me "hey is it even ethical that im dating you, im 4 years older, you tell me please, oh i feel like such a bad person", yet, they still continued dating me every time they would ask.
our fights were horrible and truly explosive as they broke their stuff in front of me out of anger, threw things at me and insulted me as stupid, amongst many other things. our fights usually ensued because i would ask them for reassurance and they would start panicking and screaming at me to shut up. to be fair, i would cry every time i was asking for reassurance which probably made them feel scared about losing me, so i consider myself 50% at fault for everything that happened in our relationship, i shouldve been able to talk to them in a secure manner that wouldnt trigger their abandonment issues. our fights were quite jarring and made me walk out on them several times out of fear. yet i always came back and apologized and took the whole accountability, even though i dont consider myself the only one at fault. walking out several times during fights was probably one of the worst things i could have done but at the same time i was simply scared. even when i walked out after our last fight, they begged me to come back, which i did, i apologized under tears, and yet, told them that i cant promise them to stay no matter what.. and left.
we met through tumblr and were in a medium distance relationship. after our relationship, i went to a clinic and had to learn a lot about myself, what i experienced and what i want from life. im in a very happy and healthy place now and since the end of 2021 im with my current partner whom i want to be the love of my life and whom ive started to build a life with.
context
i have my ex blocked on all social media because they used to do hour long deep dives into my blog, even as of recently (i have statcounter installed for my safety bc im paranoid about them sending me anonymous asks). at first i also used to visit their blog after our break up but stopped doing so after moving on with my life. one year after breaking up i temporarily unblocked them and explicitly asked them not to look at my social media (or at least to do it in a way in which i dont notice aka asked them not to watch my instagram stories).
while i dont visit their blog/social media because i dont want to know whats going on in their life, tumblr mutuals frequently dm me stuff like "hey i think you should know that your ex posted about you/shit talks about something that you posted". i havent asked my mutuals to tell me whenever this happens but i imagine they do so because within the tumblr space we exist, everyone kind of knows everyone (so my ex doesnt have to mention my name for people to know who theyre talking about). sometimes mutuals send screenshots of the posts so that i dont have to visit my ex's blog. last ive heard my ex joked about throwing jewelry at me and posted extensively about a tattoo that i got. my ex's behavior makes me uncomfortable and feel just as helpless as i did back then.
why i might be the asshole
im scared that they might be venting because i was more at fault in the relationship than them and that i am unconsciously deflecting. however, i talked about every detail of the relationship and this fear extensively with my therapist, friends, and partner who are of the opinion that i was young, scared, and intertwined in a relationship that was incredibly toxic. im still unsure though because my emotions frequently triggered theirs.
why they might be the asshole
i asked them once to stop visiting my social media and i feel like venting about our relationship that broke off 3 years ago to a tumblr community of friends and acquaintances is kind of unfair. however, i might be the asshole and they might just need the space for venting. i could just ignore the vents and let them heal in their own way from what ensued.
WIBTA if i confronted them again and told them that i want them to stop talking about me online? or would i be a party pooper because every person needs a space for venting?
What are these acronyms?

wrt last reblog but didn't want to derail: all that said i've had good success just. treating people like people when i'm asking them to engage with my stuff. if i wouldn't drop 25 dollars on a book by an unrepresented rando with zero idea of what their work is like why would i expect others to do it for me? webcomic logistics get weird because they're weird, but a pay what you want model while having the entire main canon accessible by anyone for free forever has still sold hundreds of books that i know wouldn't have sold to anyone if i hadn't made it easy and risk free to get invested in this weird new thing first. giving away my """product""" for nothing seems counterintuitive, but locking all this original work from a nobody behind a paywall would just ensure no one would ever read it enough to WANT to drop money on it lol
Like, me personally, money is the LAST box that gets checked on my Artist Interaction list, let alone a recurring patreon pledge; trying to push that as the entry point to a new thing feels like asking people to jump across a river, we have to give them a bridge! i have no idea why we push patreon links so hard, i cannot imagine who is out here just. browsing the internet with money in hand who is going to be enticed by your perfect patreon page? the vibe is so like "if people just GO to my support page they WILL give me money if i beg enough, if i'm polished enough." the decision was made way way before that, we gotta have enough material to make our case for money to the audience, and none of that is happening in our social media promos. if im as far as looking at someone's patreon or their shop it doesn't even matter what's there, i've already decided to pay them because what ACTUALLY convinced me was The Fucking Website where i could, hopefully, see enough stuff to make a decision to support them.
idk this is disorganized but all the talk of piracy ethics and stuff lately has been making me think about it again. i know i'm an artist and not a business major so i've never been suited to it anyway but man this shit makes me feel like a relic lmao

Oooo! I love your fools gold au!!!
Does Cub have a place in all this?
And what do they farm on Gem and TFCs farm?
Also im obssesed with scars betrayal of bdubs... bdubs mustve felt shattered since scar was the only person he felt he could trust as he desended into madness and paranoia... how was bdubs mental health holding up after he got knocked out of power?
hihiii sorry for not answering asks in a while but. i want you to know that This Last Part was the reason why i spent so much time making new lore!!!!!
but first, the other things! cub has a huge part to play in helping the resistance to execute their plan. he couldnt join it himself due to injury yet gave them a place to meet up and discuss their plans! cub owns a tavern, and due to the economic crisis of bdubs's reign, it was less crowded than usual (but it was still being used as a communal area). cub allowed the resistance to have their meetings in the wine cellar, which is pretty based of him
on the farm they farm (hah): crops (such as wheat, carrots, other leguminous plants, and fruit; basically, any crops you can think of, they have managed to get their hands on!); and animals (they make sure to treat the animals ethically though <3). their farm property is rather big, and so they are the main food provider for the kingdom. during bdubs's reign, the farm gave out rations to the families who really need it, like a donation centre, which then inspires Someone to do Something... but more on that later...
and. oh my bdubs..... we have come up with so much new lore because of this ask... so buckle up cos it's going to get a bit crazy... make sure to read the tags first !!!
so bdubs really wasn't in the best mental state during his reign, and this only worsened after he was overthrown. as entertainment at ren's re-coronation, he was put into a pillory. he had to watch everybody turn on him and he never felt more alone. after the ceremony was over, ren grabbed bdubs and made him the royal jester to the king, locking him up in the dungeon.
bdubs spent a total of five years there; the king would torture him to try and get him to hate himself and what he did to the kingdom, until after two years, it became too much. the king punished him for what he attempted to do, but etho had found out, and was outraged at the king.
they have a lot of history with bdubs, having fought together in the Red War (more on that later), and had only just found out what awful things the king was doing to him. every day after that, they came and visited him, bringing him food to try and ward off the starvation, soft blankets, and soap to clean him and care for him.
meanwhile, the relationship between etho and the king became more strained; the king was certainly not happy that etho was trying to "interfere with the prisoner", sanctioning them and giving them multiple chores around the castle to try and keep them busy. they kept coming back to bdubs, every night, no matter what.
eventually, bdubs got an infection through one of his wounds, and etho had to try and get the medic to save him. scar worked alongside the medic, healing bdubs, and etho could see that "oh, he does actually care about him still..."
scar joined the little visiting group shortly after that, and eventually, they helped bdubs escape.
scar used hypnosis magic to get the guards to give him the keys, while etho distracted members of the royal court with a dinner. after bdubs was outside of the castle grounds, scar gave him a magic cloak, weaved of moss and lichen, which would make him harder to see as he escaped.
first, he went to his old house before he became king - where his brother and mum used to live. he found it completely empty, but all of their stuff was still in place. he didn't want to stay there any longer - he knew full well what had happened while he was away.
bdubs had to travel through the city, knocking on all of the doors, begging for food and shelter. but he was rarely given anything more than a kick and a "fuck off". until, that is, he reached gem's farm, who took him in and helped him to recover.
anyways, more lore happens after that... i just did a badly written run-down of what me and @breakable-glassbirds had made surrounding that!! hope you like the new lore :grin:

I miss cheer so much but I want to do in-person school, I'm between a rock and a hard place and don't know what to do. Watching the teams and interactions from my old gym made me realize how much I genuinely miss it, and I know I'll be welcome back openly bc I left only die to injury, I just don't know what to do rn, and If I do cheer then I can't do music witch I also love. Yes cheer gave me trumma but I want one last season, not to latch on to cheer again but to compete at the program that I dreamed about scince age 6, not just do summer practice. I still have my practice wear and stuff to. Cheer made me fear failure but it also gave me a work ethic, and I can cope with what I would go through in the sport much better than I could even in December 2023. Cheer gave me so many relationships, it gave me a sisterhood and amazing experiences. I just don't really know what I want to do because I love the program I was at I dreamed of it from age 6-14 and finally got to go got hurt and had to quit. I'd be a senior so I'd (most likely) be a 2 bc they don't have an S1 and I still have my skills. Do I cheer for my HS next year, Do I go back to my old all-star gym, Or do I just stay out bc I genuinely miss the sport. Watching cheersport is truly the worst thing I could've done to myself rn but here we are. I won't name my old team or old program location (there's multiple in multiple states in my timezone alone) bc I don't feel comfortable sharing that but I will say that I know Im missed I saw it when I went to a comp to cheer on my friends, and my old team, I just don't know. Anyways I know I made a mature decision I just don't know if it was the right one, seeing these teams makes me miss it so much. Anyways it's allways “national champs there can be only one T-O-P-G-U-N TOP GUN” and whatever I chose that's all ways going to be my aligence because once a family always a family. If your from tg and figure out some how who I am please don't post it, out of respect for my personal comfort bc yes I am using an old nickname on here. To any TG athlete seeing this enjoy it while you can, it dosent last forever, and you'll never get that magic back. To any cheerleader out there keep dreaming and begging, eventually your parents will wear down and you'll get your dream. To any coach out there your words affect your athletes more than you know so be careful with them.

Tumblr media
parings: Kenma x reader, Oikawa x reader
warning: Fluff, bad grammar. nsfw under black line. fem reader. TIME SKIP HAIKYUU
a/n: request are open! please don’t be afraid to do so!
Kozume Kenma
Match made in heaven
Both of you are at home workers, other than the fact that kenma is a CEO of his own company
You work for him, you’re his editor and you work pretty fast since you obviously do nothing in your day but edit and binge watch anime
you guys could probably go days without talking and just communicate physically and understand everything.
If you go to the store, and he’s gaming that’s when you’ll talk
Always knock before you go into his little studio room
You never come behind him anymore because one time he was filming a scary gameplay with a heart monitor and everyone thought you gave him a heart attack 
but no, kenma is just baby and you wanted a good laugh- you felt really bad about it tho bc it was live and you where crying your ass off and he was yelling at you 
fake breakup video like the next day for trolling
Okaya anywho
if you want his attention and he’s live, you remove one side of his headset and kiss his cheek (theres a several compilation videos of you doing that all over youtube) “I’m going to the store, you want anything?” 
you always wait like 30 seconds and caress him a little to let him know you’re physically there and not just standing there.
“Uh- yeah... yeah. Hold on.” (there is also a compilation of kenma just ignoring you and you just standing there until he answers) 
you always end up naming his favorite snacks, drinks and food and he either agrees or denies. 
everyone thinks its weird how your relationship works
SOME MANY VIDEOS OF “kenma and y/n communicating without any words” 
you go many places by yourself since kenma does very long streams or just long videos
you both stay up really late together
if hes not making videos hes looking at paperwork and if hes not doing that he’s helping you edit
somehow kenma is the more productive one
you have channel yourself that slowly grows thanks to kenma
you only do lives and leave up the whole streams bc you dread editing but you’ll do anything for kenma
Tumblr media
just to make extra cash you have and OF
most of the videos consist of watching you play video game while kenma eats you out under the desk
a lot of audios because kenma doesn’t like being his face filmed while having sex
theres a video in your own OF when you do a tik tok trend where you surprise him while he’s filming 
“Kenma can you help me for a second.”
“Hmm, what is it kitten?” 
He paused his game and while his chair turned you undid your robe
Luckly he’s not live and kept the camera on
He just smiles and spreads his legs for you
(gdiewgsfiuchsiufviusdghvypofgsivhrwshb my brain is malfunctioning ugh im so in love with kenma its not even funny)
He makes you sit on his lap, as he suckles your nipple in his mouth. 
His hand firmed tightly around your rips as he kisses every inch of your chest
“You’re so pretty... So fucking pretty.” He mumbles. He’s kissing down your chest all the way to your tummy before picking you up and making you stand 
He makes you stand in front of the camera while stands behind you and kisses the crook of your neck. 
“I want you to look in the camera for me kitten, can you do that?” He kisses her jaw “Can you be a good girl for me?”
(wow if i write any more smut for kenma i think i might go crazy jskwbvbdei)
sex is very much a frequent thing, most of the time it starts as cock warming while watching a movie and two second later your begging to milk kenmas cock again
he loves when you beg for his cock, makes him feel wanted
he loves feeling your tight pussy clench around him when hes about to cum and you’re cumming for the third time, panting, begging, crying to having him fill you up with his hot cum.
Blow jobs under his desk or while hes on an important call are a must.
you love watching his cock slowly twitch with pre cum when you lick his shaft
mmm i need to stop- i love him so much ugh
Oikawa Tooru 
Being lazy in argentina was a dream but a little lonely
Tooru was always away at practive but lcukly the apartment he had been renting had a pool, and you spend most of your days at the pool, reading or playing some game he just bought you
you hate how early he freaking wakes up
hes making breakfast and blending shakes at like 5 in the morning 
there’s days he doesn’t really mean to wake you, you know the difference bc if he wants to wake you he’ll leave the blender run for a while and if h doesn’t he does it in seperate pulses so it’s not so damn loud
if he does it on purpose, he has breakfast ready for you before his own
doesn’t expect you to stick around after you eat 
when he wakes you on accident he’s like “Oh my baby i’m so sorry honey.” 
cue kiss attacks, warm hugs and him making you a cup of coffee/tea, whatever you prefer that morning
he’s so sweet
he knows you work hard too (even tho it doesn’t seem like it bc people think youtubers and streamers have an easy job when it clearly is mentally very stressful)
He knows that when he wakes you up, you had legit just gone to bed like two hours ago. 
sometimes you sleep though the noise and before he leaves he wakes you up just a little so he can kiss you goodbye.
its always something like *shake* *shake* “Baby.... honey”  *caressing of the head/cheek/hair* “I gotta go to practice now, give me a kiss princess.” you always wake up to the sound of that and give his a really sweet and tender kiss. Oikawa really just wants to fall back asleep with you and hold you, especially today since it was a cold morning
after you give him the kiss, you caress his cheek and then shove him away- a little jumpy that he need to go. “Love you.” you mutter before covering yourself with the blankets 
he always slaps your ass over the blankets, it never huts but it’s just a sign of his actually leaving to practice 
You wear his stuff when he leaves
low key have attachment issues since you moved with him to Argentina
other than pool side reading, or doing a few laps before breakfast- you really don’t do anything but work.
Work for you consisted you of just playing video games or streaming
You’re popular on the female side of gamers 
sometimes you have streams where you ask your fans to play and write down their handles and you’d add them to a game or sum
Everyone knows your dating a professional volleyball player an they think it’s an interesting duo
You cry when Tooru brought Hinata over, he smelt like home
you def. helped him adjust to the life in argentina bc it’s nothing like home.
hinata comes over for dinner ever weekend
if you’re not working or at the pool, you’re in a white hoddie and some shorts, just watching Hinata play some beach volleyball while playing some game
You very much remind him of kenma- it helped a lot when he got some sick- you didn’t really ‘help’ you just cried with him about how much you miss home
although your schedule isnt the best, youre always awake when tooru gets home, always there to greet him with kisses 
hes lucky you like cooking, bc he always comes home to an empty stomach 
you’re probably the slowest cooker he knows but you take your sweet time bc you know that it always comes out w the best result and he doesnt complain anymore
baths w oikawa are frequent
muscles sores are a usual so seconds before he gets home theres a hot bath being  pampered with your love for him
you work so slow on everything hes surprised you actually get stuff done
a little offended that he doesn’t believe in your slow work ethic bc it worked since highschool.
there had been times where he just ask if you’re not ever sick of being at home locked in all day and it stated a very month long fight.
sleeping in different rooms
(LIL ANGST AHEAD)
Tooru can hear you cry from the other room
he didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, he really didn’t. he just doesn’t want you to regret anything- especially moving here with him
you hate it when he questions your life ethics. it makes you feel like a failure and unworthy.
your life is simple and you like it that way but the second he questions it you think that you aren’t doing enough
will 100% sleep outside your door because he can’t sleep alone anymore. he’s gotten used to you being right next to him
you realize that it seems he’s given up so now it’s time to go to the kitchen and get water
but to your surprise tooru is very asleep on the doorframe when you open the door. it’s makes your heart ache just a little bit. he looks tired, his eyes are puffy but he looks so at peace.
Tumblr media
you wake him up to go to bed but he has other plans.
he’s kissing you so sweetly, every piece of skin he can find he will kiss
will carry you to bed and kiss your tummy as your shirt ran a little too high
will start to kiss your inner thigh and pull down your underwear and slowly make his way up to your pussy
you’re clearly trying to shove him off (not hard enough) because you keep closing your legs and trying to push him with your foot
will spread your legs and keep his hands there to he can start eating you out
this is his apology. this his how oikawa tooru says im sorry without saying it. soft pleasuring, orgasmic sex.
his fingers are so deep in your pussy while he’s sucking on your clit. he doesn’t look at you when you cum because he feels like he doesn’t deserve to see it.
you’re begging him to look at you after he’s done fingering you so you can kiss him with your taste this lingering oh his tongue
fucks you in a matting press because when it’s slow and he’s thrusting it all in.... i don’t think he’s seen you twitch and drool so much
tooru is there to pleasure you and when he sees you cry out of the pleasure you know he’ll be forgiven when it’s over
aftercare is even better
he doesn’t make you do anything
he presses you, gives you kisses and over all will apologize verbally when you’re slowly falling asleep in his arms

frequent (emergency room) flyer | AU-gust Day 6: Hospital AU
AU-gust masterlist
i wrote this a while back, and a couple of people seemed interested in more, so here is another piece in that AU. tagging @m-e-i-c-h-a-n, @severelytinyeagle and @warmachinesocks (who was the original prompter) and im sorry if you asked for a continuation and didn’t get tagged. note: this can be read a stand-alone fic (but reading the original ficlet will help)
I’m begging you, please help me out here and get me something edible, I’m so tired of hospital food (from this prompt list) 
//
After his first visit, Bucky isn't expecting to see Tony again. Despite how garish the burns had looked on his arms, the actual injury itself had thankfully not been that bad - and Tony only needed to come in one more time for a check in, just to make sure everything was healing well. It was a short visit, nothing to write home about and Bucky privately wished that the injuries had been a bit more severe.
Not too severe, because he didn't want Tony hurting himself, but severe enough that it warranted a couple more visits. Of course he kept that particular inclination to himself, because it wasn't normal to want your crush to be hurt and it was unbecoming for a doctor to want an injured patient, but it was there - in the back of his mind.
When Steve pages him a month later and tells him that he's got a repeat customer, and he ducks into A&E to see a familiar mop of hair; he's secretly pleased.
"What are we looking at?" he asks Steve, holding his hand out for the chart. Steve passes it over with a grim face, "His roommate brought him in. He was unconscious. Apparently he's been locked up in his lab for the past week, and when his roommate went to check on it - he was slumped against his desk. We managed to get him conscious again, and it looks like a case of a lack of food and drink."
Instantly, Bucky regrets the way he felt when he first found out that Tony was back in A&E. He nods sharply at Steve, and pulls back the curtain to see a pale Tony on the bed, and a black kid who can't be more than a few years older than Tony standing near the side of the bed.
"Bucky!" he croaks when he looks up, lips stretching out into a wide smile. He pulls at the black kid's sweater, "Rhodey look - it’s Bucky!"
"I can see that Tones," Rhodey says in a wry tone, and holds his hand out for Bucky to shake. "James Rhodes, but this punk likes to call me Rhodey."
"Doctor James Barnes," he says back, "also cursed with a bestfriend who gives out terrible nicknames. You must be James the original."
Tony gives him an indecipherable look, "You remembered."
Bucky can't tell him that he's played the weekend that Tony was in the hospital in his mind on repeat, revisiting the memories like they’re treasure, so instead he clears his throat and asks, "So what brings you to my neck of the woods this time?"
Tony opens his mouth to reply, but Rhodey beats him, "He doesn't know how to eat. Don't even start with me Tones you know it's true. Doctor," he turns to Bucky with pleading eyes, "maybe you can knock some sense into him. Explain to him that human beings need sustenance three times a day and they can't survive on coffee and ramen."
Bucky frowns, "You've only been having ramen and coffee? Tony you need vitamins, you need protein. While it's possible that you just fainted because of hunger, I'm going to keep you around for a couple of days. Run some tests to make sure you haven't given yourself scurvy."
His lips twist into a pout, and Bucky has to tamp down the urge to lean down and kiss it off his face. "This is all your fault," he glares at Rhodey mulishly, "I'm stuck in a hospital instead of at my lab like I should be. All you had to do was splash some water on me and this whole thing could've been avoided."
"I did, you didn't wake up" Rhodey says, obviously not rising to Tony's bait. He oddly reminds Bucky of himself, back when Steve wasn't a hunkering man made of muscles and Bucky had to wrestle his four foot ass in bed because he couldn't go five steps without dissolving into a coughing fit. "Besides, what're you complaining about? Now you've got all this free time to ogle at the doctor you've been talking my ear off about for a month."
Tony's cheeks pink, and Bucky excuses himself before he does something he's going to regret.
(Like find out exactly what Tony's been saying about him to his bestfriend)
/
Thankfully, Tony doesn't seem to have any serious illnesses apart from a mild case of dehydration and malnutrition; but Bucky keeps him under observation to be sure just in case. He's heard horror stories of students cracking under the pressure at MIT and almost starving themselves to death, and he's got a special interest in making sure that Tony doesn't become one of those horror stories.
Besides, he's fairly certain that Tony can afford the medical bills.
The downside of Tony not being at high risk of death is that Bucky can't justify visiting him often. So he does the next best thing, he assigns Steve to Tony. It's standard hospital procedure to have a nurse dedicated to their VIP patients, and it soothes something inside Bucky to know that Stevie is looking out for him.
What he fails to take into account, is the fact that Steve and Tony are remarkably similar people, and are therefore bound to clash.
"I can't take it anymore!" Steve bursts into his office, interrupting what was promising to be an extremely rewarding fifteen minutes of sleep at his desk, "He's so - UGH!"
Steve tugs at his hair, and Bucky gestures at the couch in his office, wincing when Steve slumps against it face-first.
"Use your big boy words Stevie," he says in what he hopes is a calming tone, "Who's got you so worked out?"
"Your ickle Tony," Steve props his head up and says in a scathing voice, "Is the most infuriating person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. It's like he wants to die. I don't know what you see in him Buck, honest to god, he drives me crazy."
"What did he do?"
"He refuses to eat!" Steve moans, but when he notices the expression on Bucky's face he backtracks a little, "He eats, but like ridiculously small amounts. His tray is never empty, and one time - I even caught him shovelling food under his plate to make it look like he'd eaten it. The kid is going to kill himself if he goes on like this."
Bucky wants to go over there right now, but he's got patients that can't wait. "I'll visit him after my rounds today," he promises, "find out what's going on."
When he enters the suite that they've put Tony in, he's in the middle of a very heated conversation on his phone. His skin is no longer pale, flushed full with colour, but he's still too skinny for Bucky's comfort.
"No Pep I -" he looks over when the door slides open, and his face transforms into a smile, "Bucky! Pep, let me call you right back."
Whoever it is on the other line is clearly not happy about Tony cutting the line on them because he hears the beginning of what sounds like yelling - but Tony ends the call before they can get anywhere. He cocks his head and bats his eyes at Bucky, "What can I do for my favourite doctor?'
"I'm your only doctor Tony," Bucky says with a chuckle, "Nobody else is willing to treat you." It isn't a lie, but it isn't the complete truth either. Bucky is Tony's only doctor, but only because he put dibs on any future Tony related visits. So it wasn't that nobody else was willing to treat Tony, it was more that Bucky wasn't willing to let anyone else treat Tony.
"So, what's this I hear about you not eating food? Keeping you under observation for malnutrition is counter-productive if you're not eating Tony." Tony frowns at that, his face twisting like he's had something sour.
He hears out and clasps Bucky's hands, looking up at him with wide eyes, "You have to help me. You gotta get me out of here. They keep trying to make me eat hospital food," he says 'hospital food' in a hushed tone, like he's worried Stevie is going to jump out with a tray and shove it down his throat.
(Knowing Stevie, it was completely possible)
"Tony," he says gently, "You have to eat. It's for your own good. You're dangerously low on vitamins and protein, and if we don't get that stuff in your system you could be running the risk of serious illness. Then you'll be shackled to a hospital room for the rest of your life, with no choice but to eat hospital food."
Tony contemplates that for a second, brows furrowing in concentration. "Okay, how about a compromise? I'll eat hospital food, two times out of the day, if you smuggle me in a cheeseburger for lunch."
"How about this? You eat hospital food all times of the day, and I'll buy you a cheeseburger when we discharge you?"
"You mean like a date?" Bucky suddenly becomes intimately aware that Tony is still holding his hand, "You asking me out on a date Doc?"
Bucky wants to say no, he knows that he's supposed to say no, but what comes out is, "Not yet."
Tony's face twists at that, before smoothening out in comprehension, "It's because I'm your patient isn't it. There's rules about this stuff, ethics or whatever."
"I could lose my license over it," Bucky admits, "not to mention that you're still in college."
"I'm a master's student," Tony says breezily, "I'm older than I look. I turn 22 this May. So how long?" Bucky makes a quizzical noise at him and he explains, "How long until it's okay for you to date a patient?"
"6 months," Bucky rubs the back of his neck with his free hand, "There's a bit of debate on it, but six months is pretty standard."
Tony nods, "I can do six months. I can wait six months."
"You have to stay out of the hospital for six months," Bucky says weakly, "No malnourishment, no lab accidents, you can't even get a scrape on your elbow, otherwise I could get written up."
"I can do that," Tony says confidently, and Bucky knows that he should talk him out of it, but he smiles toothily at Bucky, and he's gone, "I can wait six months for you. Can you?"
"Six months," Bucky says back, and it feels like a promise.

Omg can you please give me a cliche raining scene of drarry filled with emotion and all that stuff. Like what im seeing in my head is that Draco and Harry have danced around each other for years and now its come to a breaking point and they're screaming emotionaly at each other in the rain (dramatic little shits) and it just ends up with them snogging and working it out and Ron is like "Fucking finally" with the duos other friends just staring at them from a random balcony
Ah, but you see those scenes are quite silly when isolated. To get that punching “fucking finally” feeling there has to be yearning before, and misunderstandings, and longing, so much longing, so when the idiots get to pour their silly hearts out it does feel like a reward.
Before the declaration we need the plot, any plot. Maybe someone is missing. Yes. A witch goes missing, Laura Hale. Two years younger than Harry, so he doesn’t remember her. But then Susan Bones goes missing too and Harry knows Susan well. Plus she is from the Bones family, so all alerts go off.
They begin to investigate. Harry, of course, and probably Ron and some other Auror. Something dark and wicked is going on. They follow what little traces there are to an abandoned manor full of nasty curses. After four miserable hours fighting their way in, they arrive to a well lit room and find Draco Malfoy standing there.
“You are a week late at least,” Draco says, and he hands them a shoe that might belong to Susan Bones.
Despite what the initial impression suggests, Draco isn’t there in any guilty business. He is doing an investigation of his own. It turns out that Goyle is missing too and only Draco is searching for him because, well because it’s Goyle. Because he is male (although Harry argues he would look just as hard into wizards’ disappearances), and a Slytherin (yeah, they are not a priority) and ugly (uh, never thought of that). So Draco didn’t bother reporting Goyle missing and he just started looking for him by himself.
This is not the first time Draco and Harry come across each other. It is unclear what Draco does these days for a living, but his businesses have a tendency to bump against Harry’s. However, this is a side of Draco Harry had never seen, loyal and kind and brave. Harry is paying attention.
As they progress in the investigation things turn more and more dangerous. Draco probably saves Ron from a curse, even if he does it by hexing him out of the way (what? A stinging hex is quick and much less dangerous than an actual disintegration curse).  
Harry begins to believe the unbelievable. Draco admits that Goyle has no virtues, but Draco is still relentless in his search and insists that, in a way, Goyle is his responsibility. There is affection there, and tenderness, even when Draco says that Goyle is ambitious and stupid and that is a deadly combination. Draco says he owes it to Goyle, because poor stupid Goyle would have done the same for him.
Okay, Draco can’t possibly be in love with Goyle, can he? And, in any case, what is it to Harry? Harry certainly does not care what one Mister Malfoy does with his affections.
Here there would be a scene in which Draco tragically misinterprets something Harry says. Those scenes tend to be cheap, so it would have to be well laid beforehand. Maybe the press is asking Harry about his engagement to a certain Weasley and Harry doesn’t bother denying it because he can’t disclose the one good clue they have got for the investigation. Draco knows it is not Ginny and since harry is being so secretive he quite logically assumes Harry is in a secret relationship with Ron. Something like that.
And then, oh then they find Goyle and he is dead.
Draco knew it. Goyle was ambitious and stupid and that made him extremely easy to manipulate. They think that Goyle might have died heroically. That he stood up to whoever was doing this, that he tried to save the witches. (Witch? They know at least one of them is alive but they can’t be sure about the two of them).
Draco seems quite composed and unaffected by the discovery, but he also storms outside and when Harry goes to tell him that they had moved Goyle’s body it is obvious that Draco had been crying.
And, look, Harry is still thinking about what Draco said: that nobody would look for Goyle because he was ugly. Draco was right and Harry can’t stop thinking about it. (When he is not thinking about the horrible wicked business at hand or the fact that Draco is amazingly skilled and Harry has a competence kink). Harry already made the mistake of overlooking Goyle because of his looks once (and brains and ethics and talents, to be fair). He is not doing it again. There were obviously some hidden depths to Goyle and Draco is mourning him.
(But why does it hurt? Harry’s heart is sore and it can’t be merely the worry about the case).
They are running out of time and they are not getting any closer. Ron comes up with a very smart plan that only requires some reckless risk on their part, but Ron is quite sure he will make it. He is also extremely indignant when Draco slips out and takes his place. That was Ron’s plan. Ron was going to take the dangerous role. How dare Draco go in his place?
(Ah, but Draco thinks that Ron and Harry are together. So of course he protects Ron.)
The plan is a success, thanks Merlin. Draco is wounded, but he survives and so do Laura and Susan. The press is there. (They may have set a historical building on fire). Draco insists he only needs a potion and that he is going home. And this is it. Harry can feel it, the moment escaping through his fingers. He knows that if he lets Draco go this time, he won’t come back.
“No,” he says, almost a whisper. His throat his hoarse from the smoke. There is a bleeding cut on his lip.
When Draco looks at him, he is so tired.
“Don’t go.” Harry begs. He is tired too. He is exhausted. Someone has cast a raining spell to put the flames out. Draco is just looking at him silently and Harry can’t find the words so he grabs Draco’s hand. Draco’s eyes widen and he immediately tries to free his hand, but Harry’s grasp tightens and Draco doesn’t fight it.
“What is this?” Draco says in a murmur. Why is it that while Harry can only manage whispers, Draco murmurs and susurrates?
But Harry still can’t find the words so Draco gets his hand free and turns away and goes. He is leaving. He is truly leaving. And what was that thing he said two days ago? When they were fighting their way out of that flooded corridor? Ah, yes, that he had nothing left here and by “here” he meant England. So Draco is going to leave the country after this and Harry will have let him, like an idiot, because Draco is far braver than he is.
“I LOVE YOU!!”
Harry’s scream comes out as a croak. He should really take a soothing potion.
“What?” Draco has stopped in his tracks and is looking over his shoulder.
“I love you. Don’t go.”
“You love me!?” Draco’s voice is quite loud too. Half incredulity and half temporary deafness due to the explosion.
Harry nods and since he is resolved to not being a dirty coward, he says it. “Yes.”
Draco crosses the distance between them in just two long steps. His hands are on Harry’s face and he kisses him. A good proper kiss. The rain is plastering Harry’s hair to his forehead and his glasses are full of droplets and he can’t see. He throws his arms around Draco because he is not slipping away, he won’t let him. Draco takes the chance to dip him, the bastard, so all the journalists get a pretty nice photo of Harry hanging to Draco for dear life kissing in the rain, a building on fire in the background.

Loud House Season 5 Catchup (Blinded by Science, Band Together, Season’s Cheatings, A Flipmas Carol) or Of Mutants, Medicority, Merryment and Money
Tumblr media
Merry Christmas everybody! And it’s Christmas Week so expect christmas out the jingle jangle for the next few days. And starting us off is something long overdue as coverage of the Loud House FINALLY resumes just in time for christmas. Yes it’s been over a month since the last episode and while i’ve covered two holiday episodes since then, I haven’t gotten back to season 4 despite, like Ducktales and Amphibia, it being on my roster. The answer why: I had a ton of comissions coming in, and other projects going on including ducktales coverage, so I kept putting off banned together/blinded by science for weeks.. until they coldied right into Season’s Cheatings and a flipmas carol. So yeah this one’s way too late and I will TRY not to have this happen again. I can’t promise they’ll be same day of or right on time as unlike Disney and Cartoon Network who are really good about putting their stuff on the app same day or that morning or streaming services which I own so.. yeah, Nick likes to take their sweet time sometimes and isn’t as steady with their release schedule. It’s why I ended up deciding not to do regular coverage of the casagrandes, though don’t be suprise if it shows up here on occasion as I sitll like it quite a bit. Nick is just a pain in the ass to deal with. Point is it’s here now and in time for the holiday season so i’ve delayed this long enough. Let’s get back to Season 5 after the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blinded by Science:
So yeah... i’m just going to say it.. this season.. has been fucking weird. 
Tumblr media
I mean sure there’s been plenty of normal episodes: The Boss Maybe, Strife of the Party, Kernel of Truth, Banned Together, Season’s Cheatings. There are more normal standard Loud House episodes than the weird ones... but that just makes out how looney some episodes have gotten stick out MORE. I mean among episodes tackling Leni struggling to step into Lori’s true, an obnoxious party despute, a news antics episode, Luna dealing with her career, and a holiday shenanigans episodes.. we’ve also had Lincoln get shipped off to Canada for an episode, Lincoln thwart a supervillian plot, Lori learning her school has a friendly ghost caddy that everyone who goes there knows and just accepts like that’s a normal thing, and with two of today’s episodes, Flip being some kind of monsterious miracle of science or possibly having an x gene we don’t know and then being visted by the ghosts of christmas past, present and future, who for no explained reason look and act like Lisa, Lincoln, Clyde and Lucy. 
I mean I can stretch disbelief for a lot of cartoons and i’m fine with it. Lisa does it pretty much on concept. But stretching things a bit for a joke is fine.. but it’s gotten to the point where the plots have gone from grounded slice of life stuff to really weird high concept stuff and it’s really hard to tell if this is going to work or not as Schooled and Family Bonding were not great, especially the latter, Ghosted was pretty good, Flipmas Carol was okay and this one... is decent. So it’s two good, two bad and one neutral. It’l take smore more episodes to see if this is a good thing or not.. I was leaning toward not before this block, but it’s very clear by the fact multiple writers have done this and the one whose done this the most wrote normal episodes last season, that this is an overall creative decision and thus something ‘im just going to have to live with. And hey, it gives me more material to work with so there you go.  So yeah let’s actually talk about this episode: Lisa is scrambling because she has a presentation at a big science convention, but doesn’t have any new discoveries to report. She does have snakebird though, which is exactly what it sounds like and exactly as delightful. Everyone should have one of those I don’t know how this isn’t worth presenting. Just put snakebird in hat. Lincoln comes to help because Rita heard snakebird and wanted to make sure lily was okay, and all he’s doing is taking her for a ride so it’s fine. Snakebird should be a part of my a different world style spinoff I’m just saying. Or with Stella.. I have a lot of spinoff ideas and only one of them has gotten a cease and desist from viacom so that’s progress! 
Point is Lincoln ends up being a very good big brother and takes her to flips for a flippee as that usually helps him think. He also crouchs down adorably to reach her height at one point. 
Tumblr media
Like it’s jsut really precious to see that. It also does something the show does at it’s best: Weave the other siblings into each others plots organically. Lately they haven’t been as good at that with some exceptions and while it’s fine to have a few episodes where the rest of the family isn’t involved it is weird to just sorta.. cordon off 11 of our leads instead of giving them their own unique dynamics with each other. And while I do think Lincoln gets way to much of the spotlight at times, and his episodes have not been the best this season, I do think he works perfectly here: He’s the one with the most history with flips, so his role he ends up taking in the plot make sense, and him taking a big brother role and taking her down there is really adorable. It’s honestly easy to forget sometimes since half his sisters outage and outrank him by a lot that LIncoln has some authority and brotherly duty himself but when it crops up it’s really nice to see. 
But yeah while Lincoln’s gesture was nice it does nothing to help. But what does is Flip himself. Honestly before these episodes i’d barely seen Flip and he’s alright. He’s not bad it’s just with this having happened just a few years ago
Tumblr media
So i’ts really hard for him to stand out in comparison when he’s kind of generic. He’s still pretty damn loveable though. And this episode has as he drops a drum of cheese on his foot, it does nothing, eats cheese right out of the barrel which.. 
Tumblr media
I mean at least have some sanitary standards man. Get a bowl or put it in a bathtub or something. Figure it out. But yeah it turns out his heart is also in his arm, literally on his sleeve.. something they don’t point out so it’s a subtle and well done joke. 
Tumblr media
Anyways yeah... so this is where the weird stuff comes in. Flip is some sort of miracle of science despite in all other episodes clearly being a normal human, And I like it.. while some bits of it are gross, i’m not a gross out guy so if you like that it’ll be up your ally and I respect that. But for the most part it’s just weird, bizzare stuff I can’t help but chuckle at like Flip having gills on his leg or being able to surivive freezing tempratures while not moving at all. See this works better than the spy episode in terms of what the fuck or to a lesser extent schooled because while it is fucking bizzare.. it works and it’s just swining so hard for the fences, it hits the moon. With the other two one didn’t bring it up till the end and the other just.. suddenly annoucned Royal Woods is next to canada and that lincoln taking a boat there was feasable. This just works for me.  So Lisa takes him to the conference, with Lincoln and Clyde joining in to serve snacks and promote the food and fuel which works, I also like the gag about them being late because they argued about what Science Casual meant. Lisa shows off this monstrosity and gets praise.. and a shady scientist asking if  she can use flip for her experiments which lisa talks him into and Flip agrees to because, like his agreeing to lisa’s experiments he likes money and tasks the boys with running things.  Naturally handing a miracle of science over to a shady science lady you know nothing about backfires and lisa trying to search incognito labs just blows up the computer.. somehow. Don’t think too hard about it. But LIsa finds lily petting a rat and soon finds the rat comes from flip begging for help. And upon spying on the lab, Lisa finds that flip is basically being tourtured and feels she did no better which.. no. While she did use him as a test subject, she also did so with his full consent, and for free publicity. She didn’t harm flip as while she subjected him to a lot of crap NONE of it harmed him like Ingognito’s experiments are. This attempt at a moral dosen’t work when Lisa , while still seeing only flip for his achivments, did nothing unethical. Flip willingly signed on for this and was never once in danger. And look medical trials can be unethical epsecially when people are deseperate. I get that. But here Lisa did nothing wrong and given her usual tendency to ignore scientetific ethics, that’s a lot.  Lisa goes to the boys for help and together they all sneak in and free flip in a decent sequence using various stuff from flips. The doctor for her part, as she was planning to shoot flip up into space without a suit to see if he could surivive because evil, gets blasted up. So yeah.. this episode ended with a 4 year old, an old man whose apparently a mutant of some kind x-men or otherwise and two 12 year olds having killed a woman. 
Tumblr media
And then they all just.. have flippees for aj ob well done. I mean yes the lady deserved it but still.. you all just killed someone! YOU SHOULDN’T BE ACCEPTING THIS. WHAT JUST HAPPENED. AND WHY DOSEN’T SNAKEBIRD HAVE HIS OWN MOVIE. EPISODE OVER. 
Final Thoughts on Blinded By Science: This one was okay. Insane, VERY insane, but okay. I’ve seen way worse, from this very season but man is it weird and man is that ending just... 
Tumblr media
Yeah that takes it down a bit but overall really enjoyed this one, Moving on. Real behind and got four to go so
Tumblr media
Band Together: I think I have one of my many reaction images that says it best here:
Tumblr media
Given i’ve seen pretty much every Luna episode, she’s my faviorite and i’ve been blatant about that,  and all of them are pretty good, I had high hopes for this one. And it STARTS promisingly enough: Luna is rocking out with her band which finally has a name! The Moon Goats. Which I like a lot: Besides reminding me of the objectively awesome Mountain Goats, it fits thehir personality and also reminds me of fellow teenage garage band goat cheese pizza from Zits... I miss when that strip was about teenagers and not two old men yelling about teenagers. Metaphorically. Point is I like this and my recent scott pilgrim kick means this is even better. We also find out Scoots is a huge fan of the band. Which is fantastic. Why an old lady with questionable morals is their biggest fan I do not know. We also get a band prank and fully names for the other two: Sully, the guy and Mazy the girl. I mean their not given MUCH character, Sully likes to bash his head on the keyboard and Mazy is uh there. And that is one of the episodes downsides: Despite being the first episode with Luna’s band to NOT focus on just Sam... the rest of them, and Sam really get to do nothing. The fact Sam and Luna are together dosen’t even factor into the plot. I honestly think it’s what removes the episodes punch, that we don’t KNOW these characters and thus LUna posisbly leaving them behind has no weight.  In contrast the series actually did something similar with little build up but made it work with the episode where Leni’s friends are trying to make her choose between them: Her mall coworker friends or her school friends. While we didn’t KNOW her school friends like the mall ones, the episode took time buliding them up so we got why Leni loved both and why this was so unfair to make her choose between them. Here it’s just two well designed carboards and a sam. And without the stakes of it possibly impacting Luna’s relationship, which I don’t want obviously but at least we have a stake in at this point, there’s just.. not a lot. Plus the solutions kind of obvious.  But what’s the problem? The band performs for a big manager who only needs Luna to fill in for a professional band.  The IDEA as i’ve said is good: LUna being forced to pick between her friends and her career, and both sides not being happy about it. But it’s just.. wasted. Besides clearly being bigger than 30 minutes, apparently we needed the half hour slot for a caddy ghost, this story just feels slight. Luna ends up with the other band and the manager gets on her for acting like she does with her friends.. but she’s a 16 year old who dosen’t know any better. What’d you possibly expect? none of it just really works. She goes back, no one is suprised, and the only part that really works at all.. is the ending. After welcoming luna back , as their roadie at first and clearly it’s more of a joke, Chunk plays with the band and gets Luna’s spot. THAT is not a bad ending and while I”ll miss the big lug, it’s really nice to see the guy get a big break and Chunk is low key one of my faviorite parts of the show. But otherwise yeah, this was almost nothing and given how usually FANTASTIC the Luna episodes are, this one was a really huge disapointment. No need for final thoughts moving on. 
Tumblr media
Seasons Cheatings: This is a quick one but only because there’s no real character stuff or bad parts, i’ts just a decent if contrived holiday episodes. It’s the annual family gift swap, and Lincoln wants a backpack for (insert thing he likes #37). That being said I DO like that Lincoln isn’t just into one thing obession wise as even with my tendency to hyperfocus due to my autisim, I have TONS of things I love and glom onto. YOu can tell just by my massive assortment of reaction images and quotes. So it’s nice for a show to for once NOT have a nerdy kid just have one hero they focus on. So it’s rip hardcore this time, with a fancy backpack. Why Lincoln didn’t just ask for it for christmas is beyond me and is the only thing that bothers me about the episode. Ohterwise i’ts pretty decent; LIncoln’s trying to cheat his way to victory by getting the right sister for the swap. Which really ends up boiling down to first LIly, since the parents will choose, but since LIly did her own gift this year, he then tries one of the older sisters since obviously, they actually take this seriously and have the money to get something nice with various shenanigans including lincoln dressing up like his own mother. Neat. It’s nothing amazing but it is neat.
 Naturally he forgets his own, and has to trade his gift to Chandler to get Lola a nice gift in time. Also Chandler is apparently Lincoln’s black market hookup ala hustler kid. I genuinely love everything about this from the fact it fits his character, to the fact him being rich means there’s a genuine way he can get the resources, to the fact that despite being rich and probably not needing to do this it still fits he’d do it anyway because he’s kind of a scamp. If they use Chandler more like this, as Lincoln’s sorta shady frienemy who Lincoln and Co and possibly the sisters go to for shady schemes and crookery, i’ll be fully on board with it. Plus it might finally squeeze liam out of the group and give us someone willing to hit rusty. So all good things. 
But we do get a REALLY sweet ending as Lily, having seen her big brudder sad, paints him a picture. We also get the sweet image up top of LIsa and Lucy having given each other the same gift. Overall not a bad episode. Not nearly as good chirstmas story wise as 11 louds a leapin, but with a shorter runtime and a tight premise it still works and is still very sweet. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A Flipmas Carol: Another very simple but alirght one.. and ANOTHER flip episode. And another one I can speed through a bit more. Basically it’s the night before christmas and Flip is taking advantage of the neighborhoods desperation with shoddy merchandise.. and forcing Lynn to work off the debt for some accidnetal damage on christmas eve and day. I mean she is legally of working age so this is legal but it’s still sketchy. Which is Flip’s wheelhouse.  Naturally this leads to a christmas Carol Parody and the weird part as the ghosts resemble and act like the loud kids> This is never explained, it’s really weird especially since Clyde ghost refrences his therapist.. but given the louds were in there and are in there enough for Flip to know them well, same with the mcbrydes, it easily could be a guilt induced hallucination or simply the ghosts taking a familiar form so i’m not going to dicker over it. It’s weird but you know not sudden super spies, golf ghosts or childrne comitting murders weird and as I mentioned up top, holiday episodes get a little more leway with me in terms of weird shit. not by a lot but by just enough. 
So they take him through what you’d expect: The Past gives Flip a sympethatic and well done origin story: Flip had a date with the girl of his dreams, but lost out due to a comination of Scoots selling him bad goods and bad tickets in middle school and vowed never to be hurt again barney stinson styles. The present shows him the consequenceds of his actions on other people’s christmas including whatever he gave the louds to make christmas dinner having turned into some form of abomination, causing him to actually feel guilt. The final one shows him having died, buired alone with no one to care in a ditch with a pizza box and having lost everything due to his practices. It ends how you’d expect, he goes to eveyrones houses and fixes things before giving the loud kids present and clearing lynn’s deabt before that happens. Not much to really dig into here, just a pretty good specail. Both of the christmas episodes are good, and while again not as good as the first one aren’t bad themselve.s 
So yeah overall this crop was okay. No real standouts, but outside of Band Together nothing bad and even that had extra scoots, luna’s band getting a name and that cheeks suish. All in all not a bad batch feels good to be caught up. Until next time courage.

vampire barry hcs.
@gazebros and i put together our collective genius again and created some self indulgent vampire hcs for our Babey.
Tumblr media
after barry leaves the army, he's greeted by fuches.
a very old and very rude vampire who's never quite adapted to modern life as well as he thinks he has.
he turns barry himself, so that barry will have to do what he says. sire bond, and all that.
twilight wasn't lying about the excruciating pain stuff.
barry actually is pretty chill with being a vampire.
he's forgotten a lot of his time as a human, so he doesn't have much to compare it to.
he thinks it's cool that he doesn't have to sleep as much, and he can sleep for actual weeks at a time if he wants to.
the sunlight thing is a bummer.
he doesn't die, or anything, and he's usually okay if it's cloudy, but staying out too long in direct sunlight kinda hurts.
he's okay, apart from the whole, uh, blood sucking part.
he's okay with doing it to survive, but then he finds out what fuches really wants from him.
to kill for the sake of killing.
to get people out of the way.
and he has no choice.
he joins the acting class, he supposes, as an escape.
he hates how easy it is for him to kill.
he hates his own strength.
he's put his foot through the floor more than once while running down the stairs, late to class.
he's torn off the door and broken quite a few light switches, tearing them out of the ceiling.
he hates that he can sink his teeth into a human's throat as easily as if it were butter.
he hates that draining the life from someone is as effortless as it is. second nature.
he needs to be around humans, he finds.
he needs to remember that there's a reason for him being here.
not just to kill.
to live
and experience
and create a new life separate from the one he's forgotten so much about.
and in the acting class, he meets you.
and you're so wonderful.
you make him feel like he's alive.
his heart doesn't beat any longer, but he seems to forget about all that when he's with you.
and apparently, the thing about vampires being hopeless romantics is not a myth, because he falls for you so hard.
it doesn't take you long to figure out he's a vampire, either.
it was small things, really.
he was cold. and sometimes he didn't move for like... a solid hour.
also, um, his complete lack of reflection threw you.
but you were too far in love with him for it to bother you.
"so, were you waiting for me to ask you about your obvious vampirism?"
"huh?"
"barry, you're dead."
"oh. yeah. will you be my girlfriend, by the way?"
"fuck yeah."
the first time he kisses you, he ends up pushing you through the drywall of his apartment.
"holy shit, are you okay?"
"yeah, yeah, fine, i'm just... inside the wall."
"sorry."
"you're a good kisser."
you forget he's a vampire, sometimes.
when he's coming to stay at your house, and you go inside to make coffee or whatever, and notice that he hasn't come in with you.
he's just standing on the doorstep.
all polite and stuff.
just waiting.
in the rain.
"bear?"
"hm?"
"what are you-- oh!"
"yeah, you gotta invite me in."
"shit, sorry. come in."
"it's chill. wanna watch zack galifianakis?"
and then you spend the whole night debunking vampire myths.
it's 3am, and barry is ok because he doesn't need sleep for another few days.
you're sprawled on your bed, and he's running his fingers through your hair, and you're just staring up at him with The Biggest Heart Eyes.
and he knows he would do anything for you.
the human girl he fell in love with.
"your eyes are so beautiful."
that kinda stops him in his tracks.
"are they? i don't know what they look like."
"wait, you- don't you remember?"
"my human life is kinda... fuzzy? like trying to see through dirty water. and it's been about seven years since i've seen my own face. fuches burned all the pictures of me, all my records. took me off the grid."
and you lost your absolute Shit™
because that's fucked up.
because barry is the most beautiful man you've ever seen and he doesn't know what he looks like.
"they're blue. like, the softest blue. and kinda grey, too. and sometimes... when you laugh... you get these little eye crinkles-"
"im in love with you."
"that's the first time you've said that to me, barry."
"well, i am."
barry doesnt care much for how he looks, but he loves the way you describe him. so he lets you continue.
"your hair is brown. really... fluffy looking. i just want to touch it all the time, you really make shit hard for me."
he grins
"and my lips?"
"oh... soft."
"mhm."
and he kisses you so slow and soft and Your Heart Falls Out Of Your Ass.
barry is cold. he doesn't have blood. so. he's cold.
but he does feel it sometimes.
and there's not much he can do about it when he does.
"hi, i can't come to work today because my boyfriend doesn't generate body heat and hasn't slept in two weeks so i need to warm him up."
vampires don't sleep, my ass.
he's always falling asleep on your chest, or with his head in your lap listening to you talk about your day.
he can go without it for a long time, but he loves waking up next to you. he also just loves watching you sleep. listening to your breathing and your heartbeat. the rush of blood.
let's be real, sometimes he finds it hard to not, like, drink your blood.
but one feed and he's good for a couple weeks.
let's address the elephant in the room.
the sex thing.
y'all watch twilight and you're laughing because edward won't have sex with bella.
and barry completely has a straight face.
"no dude i could literally kill you."
"yeah, uh, that's never once stopped you."
breaking the bed Every Other Night.
his heightened senses and vampire awareness means he's So Good at sex.
his attitude to changing you is so relaxed.
he's kinda like. "yeah. if it happens, it happens. you get to be my girlfriend literally forever. that's pretty rad."
"so if you go at it too hard and snap my spine just change me quick."
neck kisses are his Thing.
they're so fucking hot.
vampire neck kisses? that's the dream.
barry can't eat garlic. it makes him sick.
apparently, he gives ZERO FUCKS.
he eats some of your homemade garlic bread and you spend half the night sat on the bathroom floor with him patting his back while he throws it up.
"barry, you stupid bitch."
he tried to drink animal blood once, too.
and again, he threw up.
"babe, i don't care if it's ethical, it's fucking disgusting."
he's always riled up when he comes home from a hit.
you can't be mad at him, because you know he doesn't have a choice.
it's considerably harder and more dangerous trying to calm down a vampire, though, so sometimes you sit there while he smashes things, and wait for him to finish so he can come and cry on you.
the circumstances under which he changes you are not pleasant.
fuches finds out about you. he finds out where barry has been hiding, and he beats you within an inch of your life.
and barry finds you in your apartment and he knows what happened.
you're beaten and broken and bloodied on the ground and he has to stop breathing because he can smell you and he could drain you right there if he doesn't watch himself.
and he's never been bothered about changing you but now it's happening.
now he's faced with your imminent death and he could very well lose you and he freezes up.
your eyes meet his frantically but he's not sure if you know he's there.
he presses a kiss to the corner of your mouth, and he can taste the blood, and it almost pushes him over the edge.
he dips his head down to your neck, and the rush of blood he's become accustomed to is so much weaker.
your breathing is shallow.
"im sorry."
he knows this will hurt.
and it does. he has to take you somewhere, quick. because you scream until the screams don't sound like screams anymore.
he takes you to the same place fuches took him when he turned. it's a bunker, far enough away from anyone to rouse suspicion.
and he holds you to him while you writhe in pain and beg for him to kill you as the venom changes every cell in your body.
he can't do anything about it.
at some point, he doesn't know when,
you stop screaming.
you stop moving and breathing and he's worried that it hasn't worked.
that he's done it wrong.
but the change is visible.
your features are the same, but different.
your skin is as smooth as marble and almost as cold.
the way you move and speak and hold yourself is different.
but you're still you.
and you're alive.
and he kisses the remaining life from you as soon as you sit up.
"hello."
"hey, bear. that fuches guy is a bastard."
"i know."
"no, he really ripped into me."
"i know."
"thanks for not letting me die."
"no problem."
"i love you."
"i love you too."
though barry only has eight years of experience, it's still eight more than you have.
but you adapt to vampire life very easily.
somehow, you find your feet faster than he did.
"i think we should invest in a space heater."
"mhhm."
now that barry doesn't need to hold back, you have to retire to remote cabins for days at a time to fuck. because you don't get tired easily and you're very loud.
desks and walls and bedframes being literally obliterated.
really
at one point the bed falls through the floor
with the two of you on it
and you don't fucking notice.
you keep pretending to move countries to throw fuches off your trail.
it's kinda fun, setting up elaborate scent traps and making him think you're somewhere in europe when you've not actually left the state.
everyone at the acting class begins to wonder why the two of you look so good, but also so washed out.
"they're vampires, im telling you."
"shut the fuck up, man, what if they can hear us?"
y'all are so extra. drinking blood out of capri sun pouches and going out in the sun in huge sunhats and clout goggles.
going as stereotypical cloaked vampires for halloween and spending hours freaking people out in the hall of mirrors.
soft vampire love, guys.
y'all have napped for literal weeks at a time. just holding each other.
you just love each other so much.
let vampires be SOFT.
because you are.
barry just holds your face and looks at you. he's never going to be able to get over how fucking ethereal you are, even his heightened vampire sight can't take it in
"do you think that we're going to be this in love forever?"
"yeah."
"how are you sure?"
"because i can't function without you."

Im still trying to figure out the best way to go about publishing personal writing. There's some unfortunately dark instances (to put it lightly) from my childhood that would make compelling stories, but I don't want to come across as begging for attention and asking people to feel sorry for me (these are reasons I don't talk about said instances with people unless we're close). Then there's also the ethical issue of talking about family in personal writing. I'm not on speaking terms with most of my extended family, and for the ones I did speak to, we fell out of contact over the years. And on top of that, I'm not significantly close to anyone in my immediate family. I'm not setting out to talk trash about anyone, but I do write from my perspective on things (which naturally just doesn't place everyone in an entirely favorable light). I could sugar coat stuff, but then it just sounds diluted and boring. And then there's just the stories I want to write, but wouldn't want my family to see in print because it's stuff involving my love life, alcohol, college parties, and other things they don't know about and I have no plans of letting them know. I feel like I could publish under a different name for these things, but the family stuff that everyone already knows about, I'm still stuck on.

i agree with the "theres no ethical consumption under capitalism" bs cause there absolutely is but youre not only lazy but lack any kind of moral to accept it and instead spread brainless quotes like a parrot anyway idk why im upset cause i an avid consumer that should shut up but at least i acknowledge that im a piece of trash and its all product of my choices
PS please tell us about the the time you though you were being tested yo be the next jesus or something <3
so long as youre not doing like $500 shein hauls every other week i dont think ur trash. but yeah it absolutely enrages me to see ppl say that and not try at all to be ethical w their consumption like its virtue signalling and it is such ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway the preface to me thinking that i was being tested to be god's prophet is that i was slightly mentally unstable i think so. under the cut bc its embarrassing. I will sound insane udner the cut but i promise i am sane i was just raised with like the most insane parts of religion
this happened probably around the age of 12-16/17 when i was trying to turn back 2 god due to my sexuality. like it was a bunch of coincidences after each other that lead me to the conclusion that god was giving me the power to predict the future. for example when i was 12 my dad called home and before my mum even picked up the phone i was like 'my grandpa died' and he did, and then like 3 months later i predicted another death bc i just got this feeling randomly in the middle of the school day that my adoptive 'grandpa' (not rlly a grandpa but like a grandpa figure since i grew up around a bunch of old ppl) was going to die and he died the next day. i had a nightmare that wasn't even specifically about anything it was just me in a dark room with this terrible sense of foreboding and a clock ticking and ticking and the next day i saw the news abt the paris attacks so i thought i predicted that. two yrs later just had this terrible feeling and i was begging my mum not to take me to school bc i was just convinced something terrible was going to happen and literally a few minutes later we heard abt the manchester bombing so. i didnt tell anyone bc i was so stressed bc i was like no one will believe me and i was like god give me a sign that this is real and im not insane and like 3/5 times id ask for a sign which would be like make the wind blow or something and obviously bc wind blows all the time and my timing is terrible the wind would blow and id be like. ok. fuck. that one doesnt count. anyway fast forward like a year i decided 2 try and be more normal abt my sexuality and then terrible shit just KEPT happening to me like punishment, this lgbt page i used to admin on ig when i was like 14 at the exact same time as i was messaging one of my friends and coming out to her via IG bc she moved schools, started messaging ME being like i know what you are (obvi just to scare me) but i was freaked the fuck out!!! and i just had the absolute worst 2018. anyway eventually late 2019 came around, i tried turning 2 god again and tried to practice selflessness and stuff bc honestly i was also motivated by the fact that i hadn't had any predictions. so i made a prediction (still got it on my phone) that '(friend) will have a boyfriend by the end of the year' and she got one like the next month even though they broke up like three weeks later. but i was still asking for signs so one day im in the car while my dad is driving and i have two lollies, one strawberry flavoured (our shared fav) and one like watermelon or smthn. so bc i am still on the 'i am going to try and be selfless for god' train i give my dad the strawberry one and then when i look down at my hand the one i thought was watermelon was also strawberry so i was CONVINCED as a reward god turned my watermelon lolly into strawberry. obviously that didnt happen and i mustve misread the wrapper i thought was watermelon or something. anyway december came around, i graduated, i decided 2 test my prediction skills again because i was beginning 2 get cocky about being god's chosen one and so i texted my friend that good news was coming to her tomorrow and i was right bc her parents told her the next day they were getting her a laptop for uni. so. anyway. this all happened whilst i was still identifying as an atheist (i am an athiest now properly BGBSAKDG) so. i did make another prediction also in september 2019 that a 'structure would crumble' and that didnt come true DASGSADG thankfully.

Opinion on the Blake Short
Honestly, I sort of came in feeling like I’d be annoyed cause I’m distinctly worried that Blake, the girl with the most story, would be the only one with the a story trailer, Yet I honestly think this trailer just works at every level, (minus some stilted animation, but doing 3 shorts Im sure they had to cut corners not to take important time away from where it matters making the season look good) 
Story wise it does some important stuff, for one its really not about Blake at all, but about filling the important empathy gap for the white fang to feel morally ambiguous. Aside from having already jerks be racist, the Faunus as second class citizens narrative was never shown to us and as such its hard to feel for the White Fang and (especially with Adam the most unambiguously evil character aside from Salem, an actual demon and tyrion an insane killer)
Here in a tight package we build a lot of that empathy. We see a still active member of the white fang tell her story which does a number of good things.I adored.
1) It tells us Ilia was/is a normal person, who wanted what we want, and wasn’t extremist or nationalist, the fact that she happily passed as humans shows her sense of identity as Faunus wasn’t a big source of pride and puts the fault of her radicalization on humans without a drop of ambiguity to it.
2) From my perspective as a Hispanic person who grew up passing for white in the south, this narrative also rings distinctly true, and the subject of passing is a not wholey unusual subject, but feels a little less warn and more ethically complex then Velvet’s or Blake’s shown and described experiences. 
3) It Mirror’s  Blake’s life in Beacon and shows how the people around you can change the outcome of a similar event. It begs the question of would Ilia be a terrorist if her friends had been more like RWY, even if in Weiss’ case racist, still invested in her as a person after she was outed.
4) It’s an actual modern example of racism in the show, especially racism as disinterest in the lives of others, a utter lack of empathy. Ilia’s friends totally and completely see Faunus as some other that isn’t to be concerned with. This complete lack of empathy ends up feeling more dark imo then someone saying mean names, and its telling that this complete lack of empathy is what emotionally pushes Ilia over the edge. This story does more to explain the White Fang then 100 scenes of Cardin the class bully, bulling a faunus.  
5) It leaves us with two sides of Ilia in the final shots, Both an Ilia that watches, but does not hurt Blake, one who we can view as a human and a person of empathy, and two the shot of her explaining “I broke their teeth.” Painting a very good mental image that her mercy is limited, and ethically she is not at all opposed to violence. (I also find it interesting that Ilia as merciful is shown in the present and Ilia as violent is shown in the past, inverted from the emotional expectations, I don’t think there’s anything to this besides a fun inversion.) 
All and all I think its one of the better writing bits in the show, and I hope more villains are given this treatment in their own way. Most importantly, I really hope Yang’s short is a story short. The girl needs more story pls.

BTS x Modern Magic!AU
i haven’t written something for all the boys in a while, so i decided to get back in the groove with this cute lil bangtan au ive been thinking about,,,,,,enjoy~
Namjoon
vampire 
he’s never actually bitten a person before because he grew up in a family of, to put it politely, “vegetarian” vampires. but even when it comes to drinking animals blood,,,,he feels horrible about it
like he’s always on the brink of starving because when he has to go out and hunt for food he like,,,like he catches a rabbit but he lets it go two minutes later because he’s like “i can’t,,,,it’s too cute,,,,,,,”
ever heard of a vampire having an ethical dilemma when it comes to feeding on an animal's blood? no? well meet namjoon,,,,,,,,who all the other vampires said read too much ‘human’ philosophy and got tricked into being so damn humble
but you, who once took a philosophy course with namjoon in your class, figure out pretty early on that he’s a vampire
mostly due to his clumsiness as in ,,,, he was drinking red stuff out of a bottle that said ‘tomato juice’ but he had been picking at the label and it came off just in time for you to see under it the words ‘pigs blood’ and you were like what now
and namjoon begs you to not tell anyone he damn near cries and you’re like i wont ????? obviously you’re not dangerous if you’re here around people and haven’t attacked anyone by the way how long does that bottle of blood last you
and he’s like ,,,,,,usually others drink two of these a day but i make one last a week and you’re like what?? why ??
and he’s like “i ,,,, feel bad drinking blood,,,,,,,even an animals,,,,,like it died for me. it died for my sins,,,,,,,”
and you’re like bro that’s deep but you do know that’s how the food chain works,,,,,and he sighs like yEAH ,,,,,,but i feel so bad,,,,,i need to go mourn the pig that died for this,,,,,
and you’re like in shock because what now is he seriously a vampire but also,,,,,,,you’re very intrigued and you’re like it’s kinda endearing how sulky and pouty he gets over literally????? eating his lunch 
Yoongi
potion brewer 
kind of runs out of a black market for other wizards and witches, but some humans find out about it through like back doors and things like that
he specializes in two things: truth potions and love potions. those are the most popular 
and other brewers say that it’s immoral to brew potions that tamper with peoples emotions like love potions or potions that force someone into only telling the truth but does yoongi really care? no. you know why? mmmmmmmmmoooonnnneeeyyyyy
what does he use in his potions? oh you know the usual rose thorns, goblin fingernails, unicorn horn, some interesting parts of fish, the fangs of a fallen vampire,,,,,,, the usual magical hocus-pocus ingredients that anyone who isn’t acquainted with magic would probably be horrified to touch 
yoongi’s brewing pot is passed down from generation to generation, just like how the families familiar is a crow,,,,things like this are just signature to the min wizards
and so you know,,,,you have no clue these people even exist until a friend of yours gets mixed up with it and comes running to you for help and you’re like ???? what you bought a love potion from some good looking guy in an alley and now he wants you to pay him an obscene amount of money??
and you go with her to meet ‘yoongi’ who explains that if your friend doesn’t pay up he’s got means of blackmail that could ruin her forever and you’re like “ok how much is the debt?” and when he says the number you damn near die,,,,,,,and you’re like “can i exchange anything else???” and yoongi thinks for a moment and he’s like “you can pay off her debt for her.” and you’re like how boy i am B roke and he’s like “easy. you work for me now.”
and with that he pulls you over and erases this whole thing from your friends mind in a matter of seconds and you’re like wwwwwhat,,,,,,is,,,,,happening and he’s like 
“first order of business, you need to drink this.” and he passes you this like black, bubbling drink and you’re like what ew no and he’s like hey. you belong to me until the debt is paid off
and so you drink it, and it surprisingly tastes like licorice and suddenly you notice an inking become visible on your skin and it’s a tattoo of a black crow that goes up you forearm and you’re like ????? rubbing at it with your finger and yoongi just laughs and is like
“it’ll stay on till we’re done here, let’s go human” and you’re like holy god what have i gotten myself into  
meanwhile yoongi is just like,,,,about you,,, like they’re cute,,, humans are usually not my style but ,,,,,hmm,,,,,,,he’s definitely interested in seeing how you two will get along ^^
Jin
clairvoyant 
really tired and bored of always being able to see the future and the outcomes of just about anything
will occasionally see the lottery numbers for the next day and ‘casually’ buy that card and ‘casually’ drop it beside someone who might look desperate for cash 
people have tried to become his friend simply to backstab him and take away his power, but thanks to his power he can see their plan and he’s like lmao yeah no get away from me or ill knock you out with my frying pan
“jungkook don’t run that way you’re bump right into namjoon and- oh there they go, namjoon make sure you don’t fall on your side it’s gonna hu- oh he already fell. whoops.”
you know jin because you work at a coffee shop he frequents and it’s really interesting because,,,,,,,if he focuses on you he can see that you’ll be quitting this job in the next 4 months to do something else and whenever you’re like “it’s really busy” he’s like “don’t worry, you won’t be here forever”
and you think he’s just being a kind, empathetic soul but lmao no he actually knows you won’t be there forever
but one day something happens that really startles him you guys are talking while you’re getting his change and you go “i wonder when ill meet the love of my life, valentines day is around the corner and it makes me so sad.”
and jin ,,,,, out of curiousity tries to focus on you and see how your love life will play out,,,,,,but he can’t. like at all
and he panics because is he losing his power???? but no if he focuses on your co-worker he can see that she’ll meet her husband in about 2 years on a trip abroad but you???? nothing
and when he gets home he calls up his mother, who has the same power and he’s like what does this mean??
and his mom is just like jin (: you know how clairvoyants can’t see their own futures? and he’s like yes,,,,,,
and his mom is like (: that (: means (: that (: person (: is (: part of your future honey~~~~~~!!!!!
and jin is like ,,,,, oh my god ,,,,,,,, 
and the next morning when he comes in he looks up at you while ordering and wow holy moley where you always this attractive,,,,,,
Hoseok
necromancer 
“guys i know you’re all dead, but you’re all my friends anyway. and no none of you can possess my body, you guys know that’s against the rules.”
started ‘accidentally’ summoning the spirits of the dead at a young age because apparently drawing a circle on the floor in chalk and then just sitting in it ,,,,added in ofc with hoseok’s magical aura was enough to pull all the ghosts that haunted the entire block into his room
and hoseok can conjure up the dead just about anywhere he goes and most of the time he doesn’t speak with their physical forms, but their energies still stuck on earth
and it’s a really cool ritual to get an actual physical body to come back to “life” but it involves too much blood and too much chanting for hoseok to ever try
and you are a strong believer in how ghosts are made up and fake and hoseok always chuckles under his breath when you’re like “the dead stay dead” and you wanna know why
so you keep pestering him and hoseok is like even if i told you you wouldn’t believe me
and you’re like try me !!! and he’s like “ok. i can call out dead people’s spirits and talk with them” and you’re like
well you’re like LOL you’re write i don’t believe you and hoseok huffs because fine let him prove it
and he’s like “you know how your family cat died when you were younger?? his name was mr. oreo right?” and you stop laughing because,,,,,how does he know that
and hoseok is like “when i call out a spirit i can do it by trying to call out spirits that follow alive humans. mr. oreo is following you right now. he keeps thinking you’ll get home and give him belly rubs.”
and you’re frozen because,,,,,holy hell how does he know that,,,,,,,
and hoseok is like “believe me now?”
and you’re like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,THATS SO COOL HOSEOK YOU’RE MAGICAL
and he’s like,,,,w,,,what??? because he DID NOT expect this reaction but at the same time he starts grinning and jumping up and down like “yeah!!!!! im magical!!!!!!” and you’re like omg grabbing his hand and you’re like we need to go to a cemetery or something we have to go talk to spirits!!!!!
and hoseok is like yeah we do- wAIT what cemetery heck no they’re creepy
and you’re like ?????? how can you find them creepy you literally bring back the dead
and he’s like nope. no. let’s just go over to my place and watch a ghost flick instead,,,,,,,,,,,and maybe ill try to summon the spirit of this old lady who lived above me before and you’re like cool sounds like a date
hoseok internally: screaming because you called this a date dghkbljfs
Jimin
healer 
every part of him feels like it could heal any wound, from his smile to his soft hands to his sweet voice. but in reality it has to do mostly with his breathing and with concentration of his energy into the wound it’s actually a super tiring process and jimin usually passes out after healing just one person
but you know,,,,,,he’s still a glowing angel literally
it actually all matters on what type of illness the person has. for instance he can cure rashes with the touch of his finger, things like colds he has to focus only a bit of energy, but big bleeding wounds he has to hold his hands over the gashes or scratches and focus his energy into reviving the skin and tissue
and it’s really cool to watch because he emits this ring of golden when he’s completely focused and it looks really pretty,,,,,,,,aside from the fact that it’s literally like physically draining jimin of his own energy
you’re his assistant,,,,,since he faints after healing and needs his sweat dabbed from his forehead and things like that
you guess you’re a nurse,,,,,but jimin is much more magical than any doctor and he usually only heals other magical beings because if modern scientists found out about his abilities he’d probably just be taken in for experiments
and some of those beings are far from human looking, like jimin can also heal dragons and mermaids and even rejuvenate certain magical plants. 
you yourself don’t have the ability to heal like jimin, but jimin trusts you since you’ve been childhood friends and sometimes after a hard days work
he’ll go “you know,,,,,,out of everything my power can do it can’t work on me,,,,,,” and you’re like what do you mean you can heal your scratches just like everyone else's
and jimin embarrassing smiles to himself and he’s like “yes,,,,but i can’t heal my own heart from my feelings,,,,,” and he like looks over at you from behind his eyelashes and you’re tilting your head a bit in confusion and he just chuckles
and you’re like ???? and he’s like “it’s ok though,,,,,,i have you to heal those feelings,,,,,,,,” he whispers this part so you don’t really make it out but,,,,,,,,lmao even in a magical!au,,,,jimin is quite the romantic 
Taehyung
animal whisperer
from horses to dogs to ants to snakes to birds to fish
he can understand and talk to them all,,,,,,and you’d be surprised how gossipy animals really are 
most other magical powers are inherited through family genetics and/or constant study of witchcraft but taehyung’s talent is singular to him because most people can only speak to one kind of animal,,,,,taehyung obviously can talk to them all
and people rumor that it’s because he was raised by wolves or something dumb like that. but it has more to do with the fact that taehyung just loves spending time with animals and so,,,,,,,he just picked up on as much as he could
and his favorite thing to do is to talk with domesticated pets. a lot of the times the stories are sad and dark, but sometimes the pets just spill embarrassing secrets and stories about their owners that make taehyung roll over in laughter
and that’s exactly what happens with you. as you’re walking your dog taehyung comes strolling by and asks if he can pet it and ofc you’re like sure!!!! and when he leans down
the dog is like “did you know every morning my owner turns on the same song,,,,,,,fire? i think is the name and they just dance around to it singing into a bursh like it’s a mic. isn’t that hilarious”
and taehyung can’t hold back his laughter and you’re like ???? and looking up at you taehyung gives you a once over and he’s like “i didn’t expect you to be the silly type.”
and you’re like ?????
and taehyung is like “i like that in someone, business on the outside but actually kind of goofy. im taehyung by the way, i also sing into a brush like a mic.”
and he sticks out his hand and you’re like wait what how does he KNOW,,,,,,,,but also,,,,,,,,,,,goofy??
and taehyung is like “your dog here told me kindly about your dorky side, it’s cute though.”
and ofc you think he’s joking but tbh he’s handsome and sweet so you’re like “do you have a pet? i want it to tell me something funny about you too so we’re even hehe”
and taehyung grins and looks down at your pup and while you’re distracted taehyung is like “hey , do you think i have a chance?”
and the dog is like “with my owner? no way. they’re too cute for.” and taehyung is like hEY did i just get insulted by a dog
(but dw taehyung,,,,,,obviously you wouldn’t say no to a cute date with him????? right~~)
Jungkook
werewolf 
incredibly playful in and out of wolf form, loves pulling pranks and challenging older wolfs in the pack to play fights
which is not surprising because when he shifts back into human form, his arms and legs are all bruised up from those play fights but jungkook thinks they make him look really cool and strong
everyone swoons over his athletic body and they’re like WOW he must swim or play volleyball to have such strong upper arms and legs
lmao no it’s that when he’s in wolf form he spends like 85% of the time running around like crazy,,,,,,,like a literal puppy
his wolf form is really pretty,,,,his coat is a light brown but the fur around his ears and paws gets snowy white
and his eyes get sparks of blue between the browns of his pupils
the only problem is he’s reckless and so sometimes he’ll get too excited and parts of him will shift without him knowing
which is how you find out he’s a werewolf because you’re over at his place beating him at video games and jungkook gets way to riled up and stands up and you look over and you’re like wait
why does he have a tail????? and ,,,,,,, are those,,,,,,,,,,ears on the top of his head?????
and once you’re like uh jungkook i think you’re mutating,,,,,,jungkook is like oH DAmmit the pack is gonna kill me
and you’re like the pack,,,,,,,???? and jungkook is like “well im halfway there might as well show you the whole thing” and before you know it he’s shaking his upper body and suddenly,,,,,,,,in the living room of your friend jungkook’s house is a big,,,,,,,,,,wolf
and you’re like WHAT IN GODS NAME but then the wolf like nudges the controller with his nose and points to the screen of the paused game with it’s paw and you look at it the character on the screen is named jungkook
and you look back at the wolf and you’re like,,,,,,,y,,,,,,,you’re,,,,,,,jungkook?!??!??!
and in a moment the wolf begins to shake it’s head and jungkook comes back to his human form and you’re like WOAH and he’s like “it’s cool isn’t it????”
and you’re like “y-yeah but also,,,,,,,,,” and your eyes are closed now and you’re like “you’re naked. please put on some clothes dog boy”
and jungkook is like DOG BOY
but also he runs out of there because right shifting,,,,,leaves one exposed
but when he comes back you’re like,,,,,,much more comfortable with the fact that your friends a werewolf and you’re like 
“hey,,,,,,,can people hypothetically ride,,,,,,wolves like on their backs??”
and jungkook snorts like iM never letting you on my back
(but he actually ends up letting you get on his back in his wolf form because jungkook likes you and will never admit it but he wants to show off by running through the woods with you on his back and the face you make when you end up seeing how fast he is makes jungkook’s ego like x100000 times bigger and it’s cute ,,,,,,,,,,,, werewolf boy in love) (get the pun?)
