ok heres my two cents on tour and the cancelled dates. imo its been a real mixture of everything as to why dates haven't sold out/been cancelled. I think they (dan and his promoter team) booked venues that were just too big. majority of the venues have been 1-2k capacity and dan just doesn't have that kind of audience anymore, not on his own anyway. this goes hand in hand with dan perhaps not promoting the tour as much as he could have. now i love him so much but u can't expect people to go and see u if you ain't doing anything online ??? i know he's said countless times that he's a perfectionist when it comes to what he uploads. whether that be a tweet or an instagram post and he's said he struggles knowing what he wants to upload, especially with his videos. unfortunately this doesn't go hand in hand with wanting to go on a world tour and have actual real life people come and watch you. like if he's not giving us anything online what incentive is there to see him irl?
i also think back to what he said about the pre show q&a only being in the uk/america/canada bc the other venues didn't know how well it would work and didn't wanna risk adding it (which makes no sense tbh bc people have already bought tickets so they'll wanna see a q&a??) i think some of these setbacks have been due to the fact he's still seen as "just a youtuber" and like dnp have mentioned before when talking about tatinof/ii, venues were so reluctant to host their show bc they aren't mainstream celebrities/comedians. it makes me wonder if dan has ever thought about dipping his toes into traditional stand up comedy and building up an audience via actual gigs and shows as well as creating content online.
i really like what @yonpote said here that he should have done the tour in stages rather than announce a full world tour at the start. he could have seen how well it did in the uk and then planned better for venues in the usa/aus/nz/europe. but hey i guess thats the beauty of hindsight and maybe if he did another tour he'd do it differently (or just not work with these promoters tbh they've been a mess from the start. remember the oxford/cambridge chaos?)
all of this to say we'll never know any of the answers bc dan certainly isn't gonna tell us (most likely bc contractually he can't lol) i do hope he talks about the iceland show though and communicates with us as an audience (something i dont think either of them are great at but thats another post lol) and i just hope all of these cancellations havent like stressed him out too much

He has never been afraid of the night or the shadows that wait within it, has never been bothered by the silence that others deem oppressive. Sometimes, tucked away in his office until the late hours, he feels the quiet of an empty incident room gather 'round his shoulders like the hug of an old friend - familiar and comforting in its stillness. His heart quickens at large crowds and loud parties, lungs aching at the energy to form conversation and fingers curled into sweaty palms until they leave crescent shaped marks in their wake. People, noise, small talk ... those are the things that leave tendrils of fear in his chest that snake their way into the pit of his stomach and sit like heavy boulders, holding ground against whatever courage he tries to rouse.
Tonight, he sits at his desk like always - proud with shoulders rigid and straight as he flips through notes with fingers that are raw from hot water, fingers that he pretends aren't trembling the slightest bit. He's always been good at hiding, at control .. but here and there .. the movement of a page or the click of a pen ... his discipline slips - a corner gets crumpled, a stark white page blooms with an ill placed bot - and the detective does his best to rein it in all the tighter. He's long stopped paying attention to the empty room outside his open office door. The whiteboard looms against the wall, empty and taunting, a stark reminder that their current investigation is getting no where... and Joe stares at his files, ignoring it..stares at the pages of evidence and suspects and testimony until the words swim and the photographs blur .. and all the while he can feel that whiteboard staring at him, whispering...
Catch me if you can.
One palm has moved to his side, pressing against the stiff fabric of a fresh shirt as if testing the sting, fingers tapping the area around the ache like poachers teasing out their prey. It's gotten worse since they arrived back, it's gone from a dull ache to a sharp pain that feels as if the flames of hell themselves are burying their way beneath skin and into muscle and bone... and Joe all but grits his teeth against it. He hadn't been near anything, it was just raw skin from damp fabric - he had been sweating, they all had - it wasn't anything important... making a deal of it would have only led to fodder for more bloody ghost stories. The shadow that suddenly falls across his desk makes him jump, calls forth a squeak of a noise that the detective will absolutely not own up to, and the feel of warmth in his cheeks causes blue eyes to narrow when they look up at the office's assailant.
@gentlemanstarkey: lift up your shirt a little so i can see. (WC)
"Wh-what? What?" The question is indignant, a single word tripping over itself as it waits for him to unravel the others from a tangled up tongue and Joe opens and closes his mouth soundlessly for a moment at the other man's appearance. It occurs to him, suddenly, that his one hand is still pressing against his side, protective of a tender wound that he is still telling himself isn't really there, and he removes it with as much of a relaxed air as he can muster, using suddenly free fingers to rearrange papers to the clearing of his throat.
"It's nothing. I checked in the .. I looked when we got back. Just irritation from my shirt or something, that's all." Blue eyes stay trained on the polished wood before him, jaw set tight against the memory of what he had seen in the mirror. Lines, three of them, angry and raised ridges of crimson that had stood out in stark contrast against his pale skin... he had thought cold water from the tap would soothe them, had taken a damp towel and tried to care for them as best as he knew how ... but with each cool drop, Joe had felt that fire burn all the hotter until the heat felt as if his very bones were turning to ash.
James Starkey is a thorn in his side - a man who by all rights should be an absolutely mad charlatan but instead has proven himself a fount of intelligence and quick thinking time and time again. It's enough to set the younger man's teeth on edge. He can feel it on him now - that silent, judgmental gaze that seemed to see everything .. even the things that Joe wasn't aware he'd been hiding. The younger man knows what awaits if he glances upwards, knows the power of those sharp, piercing eyes that seem to shatter the disguise that's served him for decades with a single flicker... but he finds himself doing it anyhow, brows furrowing in an effort to quiet the sudden lurching of a heart that begins a steady and thunderous rhythm inside the hollow of his chest.
"What are you still doing here? Don't you need a good night's rest to fight whatever evils you find in the archive tomorrow?" There's a snort of laughter at his own joke, a huff of breath that serves as the sound of a man awarding himself a point in the competition he's dreamt up... but Joe is quick to frown soon after. "Seriously, James. As flattered as I am that you've chosen to wait for the opportune moment to appear out of bloody nowhere and ask to see under my shirt ... There's no overtime in it for you." He's angry. He doesn't know why. But the rhythm of his heart is chased by a heat that seems to pulse in time with the wound across his flank and his left hand taps restlessly atop the paper it currently sits on, fighting the instinct to return to where it was pressed against his side. "Go home. Find someone else to study like an experiment. I won't be used as fodder for one of your ... stories... or whatever it is you call them."

it honestly makes you sad
and he notices it

but she also kind of likes it when you tease her
it made her heart goes fuzzy wuzzy inside
when the first time that happened, she thought she was sick
so she goes to a doctor (that doctor is a sprout mole)

she panics and starts crying on your arms
you asked her why she’s crying, and is completely dumbfounded when she told you the whole deal

like what i’ve said
she sometimes felt her heart beating so fast when you use nicknames
and she got ‘diagnosed’ by a sprout mole that she’ll die
which got you kicking out the sprout mole who dare to call your beloved like that
the other sprout moles has been quiet after that
a/n: this was honestly really fun, i’ll try to make more of these.

Lights, Camera.
Pairing: Trey Parker x Actress!Reader.
Triggers: 18+, smut, oral (f receiving), fingering. tbh Trey would never do or say anything like this, I actually wanted to die writing this omg. Pretend BASEketball had a sex scene. Cheesey 2000 movie lines.
Tumblr media
"Action."
A word that made your stomach hit the floor everytime the camera's were rolling. It being your first movie and all, you figured it was just nerves. BASEketball was your first movie, and it was also your first sex scene with your co-star Trey Parker, who was playing Joe Cooper, and you, his love interest; Michelle Hyland.
Your character was a sexy, sassy friend of Coop and Remer from high school, who has always had a thing for Coop. Trey was already a big star already with his show South Park and Cannibal!The Musical. You, on the other hand, were a struggling actress having acted in a commercial or two, but here was to hoping BASEketball was hit.
In 'Coops room' there was little to no decorations. It was suppose to look like a struggling man in his twenties room. No candles, no flowers or anything to set the mood. But luckily, you had Trey and the whole film crew to make you both comfortable. Trey especially was very kind in making sure everything was going the way it should to ensure your safety and comfortability.
As the film crew were getting set up to film the final touches, you awkwardly fidgeted with the lingerie you were wearing for the scene.
"Are you nervous, Trey?"
"Eh, a little. But I mean, making out with you is a bonus." Trey laughed, making you hit his arm playfully. He was such a flirty but you couldn't help but smile. Trey, still noticing your nervous energy, grabbed your hand.
"Don't be nervous, Y/N. Just follow my lead and we should be okay."
"I can't fake having sex, Trey." You sighed, squeezing his hands. You looked over to see that the crew was nearly finished setting up.
"You don't have too."
"What?"
"Well, I can actually.. ya know," Trey's hand slid down over your thigh, opening your legs ever so slightly. "I mean I wouldn't be complaining, it's not everyday I get to eat pussy and I mean, I think I'm quite good at it.. Obviously, if that's okay with you."
You could hear the director starting to count down to the scene, but it was hard to listen when Trey's hand was rubbing up and down your thigh and the pool of arousal from this act building up in the panties of your lingerie. You took a moment to weigh your options before nodding up at Trey, showing him you approved. "Okay."
"Just breathe,okay?"
"3,2,1- action." David shouted, and the cameras were rolling.
Trey leaned in slowly. You smirked up at him, trying to protray your confident character to the cameras. You swear Trey could feel your heart beating out your chest as your lips met. Trey's hand ran down your thigh again, making you gasp when his hand cupped your pussy. You took the opportunity to run your hands down Trey's chest.
Trey pulled back teasingly to plant a few kisses upon your breast. You moaned, your hands in his hair almost pushing him down to your pussy. Everything Trey was doing was getting the right reaction out of you. This easily will be the best scene in BASEketball, and Trey knew that.
After a few marks left on your breasts, Trey could feel you humping him hand. Trey continued to kiss down your body, throwing the blanket used for the scene over his head and pulled off your panties. You sighed nervously when your panties were taken off.
You both only had ten minutes to perfect the scene, meaning Trey had to get to work. Slowly, Trey pushed two fingers in your hole before placing his tongue onto your clit. You moaned loudly, clutching onto the blankets. All your moans were for him.
"C-coop." You moaned, biting back from calling Trey's name out. The lust you felt for Trey wasn't fake; maybe for your character, but not for you as Trey continued to lap at your clit.
Trey continued to pump his fingers in and out of you, making your moans of pleasure grow louder. You buckled your hips against Trey's face, forcing his fingers deeper into your pussy as he searched for your sweet spot.
"It's too good." You whimpered as your orgasm built. Trey's tongue laid flat against your slit before moving it back up to your clit and removed his fingers, his hands now holding your hips. Trey knew David would be happy with the scene.
Trey's tongue slipped into you. The pleasure was too much for you to bear as you gripped onto your breasts and allowed curse words to fall from your lips. Trey was devouring you in ways you couldn't imagine.
Finally, You let out one final moan and allowed your orgasm to wash over you. Trey smirked as he came up from thighs to your face with your cum all over his. Trey's tongue ran over his lips, letting out a moan at your taste before planting a kiss onto your lips once again.
You let out a weak laugh into the kiss. You both only wished that you could do more, but you weren't porn stars; it would have to wait till later.
"I better win an oscar after this." You panted quietly. Trey had just given you an orgasm infront of a camera and a room full of people. Obviously, no one knew. No one but you two.
Trey laughed quietly, planting one more kiss onto your cheek before David called cut.
Spoiler you didn't win an oscar.

Tumblr media
"Meet me in the bathroom in 5 minutes, okay, handsome?" You whisper in your boyfriend's ear, subtly nibbling on his lobe.
Joe nearly chokes on his drink, causing a few people to look over at him concerned. The Stranger Things release party was not the time or the place for you to be talking dirty like this, especially not in that dress.
But you couldn't help yourself. The drinks were flowing and he looked far too good in that damn shirt and jacket. And you were in Brazil, for fucks sake, why not be exotic?!
You flash him a filthy smirk, kiss his cheek and saunter off to the bathroom, casting a glance over your shoulder before you leave the room to check he was following you. He shoots you a wink, placing his drink down and casually making his way over to Jamie for a quick chat so it didn't look suspicious that you two had both left the room at the same time.
Your pussy clenches in excitement as you make your way into the bathroom, locking the door behind you. A few minutes later, Joe's signature knock has you throwing open the door and grabbing him by the collar, pulling him into a fiery kiss.
Joe kicks the door shut behind him, and clumsily fumbles with the lock whilst trying to not break the kiss with you. As you hear the satisfying click, you push him up against the door, his back hitting the wood and he lets out a groan against your mouth.
"Fucking hell, Y/N, what's gotten into you?!"
"I'm hoping you'll get into me, actually," you smirk, biting your lip as your eyes rake over him. He groans as you cup him through his pants. "Want you to send me back to that party with your cum leaking out of my pussy."
Joe's eyes widen and his brow furrows in arousal, his mouth hanging open and his cock twitching in your hand.
"That's so fucking hot, say it again." He begs as you flick open the button on his pants, unzip and reach into his boxers, wrapping your hand around his already achingly hard cock. You begin to pump him slowly, making his head thump back against the door.
"I said, I want you to send me back to the party with all your cast mates and crew members with your cum leaking out of my pussy, Joe." Your voice is low and seductive as you look at him through your lashes.
"You're gonna be the death of me. Bend over that sink, babe." Joe practically growls at you, grabbing both your hands and spinning you so they are behind your back. He walks you up to the sink, pressing a large hand on your back gently to push you into position. As one of his hands holds your wrists together, the other snakes down and pushes your dress up over your ass. You watch him in the mirror, hissing as he teasingly pings the string of your g-string underwear. "Was there any point in wearing this?"
"Gotta keep some decency, Quinn." You grin at him in the mirror. He cocks an eyebrow, staring you dead in the eyes as he snaps the flimsy material and rips it clean off you. "Joe!"
"Oops," he flashes you that trademark goofy smirk that makes you weak in the knees and pockets the destroyed garment. "That's what you get for being a tease, making me sneak off to fuck you in a bloody toilet..." You watch him push his pants and underwear down and pull out his cock, giving himself a few tugs as his eyes rake over your exposed pussy and ass. You bite your lip as he drags his cock over your folds, lubing himself up with your arousal.
"Fuck, Joe, babe, please-!" You yelp, your begging brought to a swift stop as he pushes inside you. The lack of prep means a little burn as the thick mushroom head of his cock splits you apart, but it still makes your eyes roll back in your head as he gives you no time to adjust, setting a fast, rough rhythm that makes your walls flutter around him.
"Haven't got time to be nice tonight babe," Joe grunts. "Fuck, you feel so fucking good. Want me to fill you up, yeah?"
"Y-yes, fuck, Joe, please, wanna feel you cum in me!"
"Need you to cum first, okay?" His hand dips in front of you, fingers immediately finding your clit and he begins to rub it in tiny, frantic circles.
It's not long before you're crying out his name, your legs almost giving out as your orgasm washes over you. Joe lets out a string of curses as your pussy clamps down on him, and its not long before his hips are stuttering, slamming into you one more time as he empties himself inside you with a broken moan against your back to try and muffle his voice. You can feel his cock twitching as he paints your walls and it sends a shiver up your spine.
"Shit, I bloody love you." Joe lets out a breathless chuckle against your clammy skin and then places a few more sloppy kisses along your shoulder blades before pulling out.
"Mm, love you too," you mumble, drowsy from your intense orgasm. Joe can't help but think how good you look bent over the sink, dress hiked up and his load trickling out of you. He resists the urge to snap a sneaky picture on his phone for those lonely nights on his upcoming press tour.
"Hey, come on now babe, weren't you talking a big game about going back out there earlier?" Joe chuckles, tucking himself back in his pants and doing up his belt. He pulls you off the counter and spins you round to face him, and kisses you softly before adjusting your dress for you. "What was it...with my cum leaking out of your pussy, right?"
"Shh," you kiss him softly. "Go get me another drink and maybe my pussy won't be the only thing you can fill later."
"God I love you." Joe grins back at you, "Martini, right?"
"Filthy, babe."

tbh you're losing me just made me feel sorry for both but also very empathetic toward joe. and this is coming from someone whose last relationship ended a lot like this and someone who was taylor in that relationship. back then i was just so hurt but over time i learned i also played a part in it ending and did things i shouldn't have. it sucks but truth is that they just weren't suited for each other anymore. and ik people will try and make this about how joe sucks and couldn't put in the effort but it's so much more complicated than that. from the lyrics taylor did what i did in my relationship and didn't really communicate. she sent signals, and kept waiting for him to see was "dying" and then was upset when he didn't see and didn't do anything to stop it. but at the same time this means joe actually didn't know she was hurting. he didn't notice and she didn't tell him and if at one point she did it ended up being a "i don't understand / i know you don't " type of conversation and if he just doesn't understand then there's not much to be done even if he wanted to do something. he can't pretend to understand to please her. seems like he genuinely thought they were okay where they were (maybe even because of taylor's people pleasing tendencies) and she just couldn't take it anymore and he didn't understand what was wrong or why she felt that way. i think that first break up news said everything it had to say. they worked when they were in a bubble but not outside of it. joe never really knew her and thought they were okay the way they were and taylor couldn't see a future together. again it sucks because it seems their very foundation is what tore them apart. taylor Trying all the time while pretending that's not the case and joe not wanting anything for her other than to just be together. the difference is back then he saw through her and they were able to make it work through miscommunication but apparently not anymore. and this could be for so many reasons. maybe his own anxiety/depression got in the way, maybe they both just changed and grew apart. maybe he did grow tired of some of her antics when he's a lot more chill and just didn't understand why she had to try so hard all the time and wanted everyone to do the same. i'm not trying to say taylor is hard to love bc that's not true at all but we all know how much she wants someone to choose her and look only at her and we have proof of the ways she'd make sure to get that (telling you to leave me just to try and scare you / im a mirroball / picking fights in afterglow and the great war).... maybe it got tiring and he just stopped keeping an eye out for The Signs and didn't even realize it... i don't thing either of them are the bad guy here. that said i hate how everyone is already like "she was there for him through everything and he couldn't even be there for her" when we know he WAS there for her a lot in the past. plus yeah "ik my pain is an imposition" hurts but we also have taylor saying "is it insensitive to say get your shit together so i can love you" and "if I would have known how sharp the pieces were you'd crumble into i might have let them lay".... like neither of them is perfect. just feels like they were both thought the other one would change and eventually be okay with things happening *their way* and ofc that just didn't happen. there was no cure.
Thank you so much for sending this thoughtful message, anon! The bottom line is really what you said: their foundation killed then. What worked so well in 2016-2017, what helped Taylor save herself, what made her think that he was the one… that was the same thing that tore them apart in the end.

Liked by annetwist and 638,973 others
goodinfluencegs OUT NOW!⭐️ This is a special one. This week, I’m chatting with my brother, Harry Styles @harrystyles, as he talks about his relationship, self-accountability, and emotional vulnerability. This one means a lot to me because it’s always an interesting conversation when someone opens up about their feelings. Listen wherever you get your podcasts ⭐️
Comments
user1 3 months after y/n’s podcast too
user2 just listened to it. i’ve been a fan of harry’s for so many years and not once has he ever been this honest, open and direct. it’s so clear how much his relationship with y/n meant and how much influence she has on his personality. it’s really sad that things ended between them because harry was basically a shit boyfriend but from what i see, they’re both dealing with it differently. i wish him growth and healing 🥹
user3 THE WAY HE SLIPPED UP AND SAID HER NAME
↳ user4 I NOTICED IT TOO I LITERALLY SCREAMED
↳ user5 i already knew he was talking about her but nothing could’ve prepared me for hearing him actually say it
user6 i know he’s human and makes mistakes, but when he said he was loved and supported in the relationship and that y/n would have gone to the ends of the world for him and how she basically told him that his career doesn’t matter unless HE’s okay and believes that he’s worth more than work…and then he still went ahead and broke her heart…ik we don’t know exactly what happened but i think i lost so much respect for him :/
↳ user7 i agree so much with you. i’d react the same way if he wasn’t a celebrity too. like he literally said he took advantage of her and people are still stanning him 😀
↳ user8 @user6 @user7 why are you acting as if him admitting it means nothing? he’s obviously working on himself and beating himself up for it. why do you have to make it worse for him?

harryupdatesacc I know it’s not the time…but unseens of Harry and Y/N via louiseburcham & mutualfriendwhowasprivateonig
Comments
user1 they look so good together 🥲
user2 the fact that there were people who thought they were “platonic soulmates” when they were literally together
user3 harry really left THIS for his fucking director whom he has no chemistry with 🤡
user4 yall still stan him?
↳ user5 yes.
↳ user6 @user5 L
↳ user7 ^^ do you realize that there are so many things we don’t know?
↳ user6 @user7 he literally admitted that he broke her heart and took advantage of her love for him?? what are u on about
↳ user8 @user6 and he apologized and y/n forgave him. why are you upset? he obviously feels like shit and he said it and he LOOKS it. Y/N moved on so how about you do too?
user9 2022 didn’t have to show me that harry is a toxic boyfriend and ex
↳ user10 how is he toxic though? he apologized and he came clean. genuinely asking, not trying to fight 💗
↳ user9 @user10 besides hurting y/n and as he said “broke her heart”, if the theories are true then he put his acting career and publicity first and agreed to the holivia stunt when he was with someone. he talks about y/n so much (ik it’s the interviewers’ fault but he knows better than to keep mentioning her name and can stop them from talking about her)
↳ user9 @user10 he still follows her on instagram (she unfollowed him 5 days after ONO london) and tbh i feel like that’s just…no.
user11 “toxicrry era” don’t call yourself a fan when you attack your fave like that wtf
↳ user12 even harry himself called himself toxic and that what he did was fucked up. you don’t have to be far up his ass 24/7 😘
user13 you’re acting as if y/n is angel 🤡
↳ user14 ….she is though
↳ user13 @user13 not you calling someone who took advantage of harry’s fame and now joe’s fame “an angel” lmfao
↳ user14 believe it or not, women can be in relationships with famous people and still be hardworking and make their own living😭 just because she works in the industry doesn’t mean she took advantage of any of them. besides, not YOU calling someone who made harry happy and put his mental health first anything but an angel but go off i guess

TikTok
As always, there were a lot of videos on the app of people reacting to the podcast that nobody had expected; people crying, screaming, talking, and every possible reaction that one could show.
In a 736K liked TikTok video, a fan was sitting in her car—a common setting that was used, and one that had you feeling like it was going to be a good one—starting the 3-minute video by taking a breath.
“Let’s talk,” she said before the video cut to her again, “What the fuck? What the actual fuck?” She began, pinching her nose and looking outside the window before looking back at her phone, “So, for those who don’t know, Harry talked about Y/N, his ex, on his sister’s podcast and he said a lot of things.
“One,” she raised a finger, “That he broke her heart. It was him who hurt her. Two,” two fingers, “She gave him nothing but love and support and basically was—was an amazing girlfriend. Three,” three fingers, “He could’ve done better. And four,” four fingers, “That he’s basically jealous of Joe—Joe Keery, who’s currently Y/N’s boyfriend,” she said.
The girl then sighed, “It’s good that Harry, like—It’s good that he talked about this and that he’s trying to heal. I think it shows how mature their relationship was even if it went to shit, but,” she pursed her lips for a second, “I think we should all know that publicity stunts happen in the industry and Harry’s relationship with Y/N was caught in the middle—it got hurt, got abused in the middle. You guys can’t think like, oh no, Harry lied to us about Olivia.
“Because that’s just childish. Fake relationships suck, sure, but they happen. And I will not be getting into discussions of whether Holivia was fake or not because,” she raised a hand up, “It literally was. Because according to timelines and the leaked pictures, Harry and Y/N were together for 3 years.”
Nevertheless, people in her comments still commented about feeling betrayed by Harry for being part in a publicity stunt.
In another TikTok video, a clip from Harry’s Coachella performance of Boyfriends was added as he talked:
“To boyfriends everywhere,” he said, before the video cut to a leaked picture of you and Harry, “Fuck you,” Harry’s voice said before the text was written right under Harry’s face in the picture.
In another viral video, it was Brittany Broski, her mascara smudged with tears as she cried, with music from the song Somewhere Only We Know by Keane playing, and with two texts over her head:
""It’s not your breakup, why the hell are u crying?"" and "Harry styles what the fuck is your problem"
The video then shifted to the two most recent leaked pictures of you and Harry as a guitar was added to the background sound, and another text, and a quote that Harry had said in the podcast, was added:
“You never knew you had it in you to hurt the one person you love.”

☆ how comfy i would be with asking the boxers to hold my drink - ranking ☆
this came to me after i read a "how comfy i would be asking the stardew valley characters for drugs" article and thought "heyy why shouldnt i do this??" anyways i might actually make that list, also dont think of the drink as alcohol neccessarily, you can ask piston hondo to hold your cup of milk or something idc
Starting with bottom of the list..
King Hippo!
He would be at bottom place because he would most likely drink it or just lose it, if he wouldnt have done those things my drink most likely would have been on the floor already, i dont trust this man with my drink, at all
My cup would probably be slippery because im 98% sure he would squeeze the fuck out of my cup to not drop it
next place is...
Glass Joe
He would actually hold my cup like a normal person but he'd still spill it, im 90% sure since hes bottom of the ring
Look at him and tell me he wouldnt fall to the floor & spill my drink the second someone pushes him to the side
So unless i felt like licking the floor i wouldnt give him my drink
next place is...
Super Macho Man
He'd just flat out refuse to hold my drink and i don't blame him tbh
Even if he did hold my drink he's most likely set it down and forget about it, he wouldnt even be sorry for it like the himbo he is
Hes the type of person to switch out your drink because "You have bad taste" (he forgor your drink and didnt feel like ordering the same one)
Next place is..
Bald Bull
Trust me, there are planets between him and macho man on this ranking, but hes still bad at it
He'd most likely get in a argument with someone and end up throwing it onto someone or have said person who argued with him spit or snatch that cup up
Other than that, he would probably guard it an ok amount
He'd ask someone else to hold your drink just in case he gets in a fight and it would turn into a game of "please give me my drink back"
Next place is...
Soda Popinski
He'd just chug it thanks to him mixing it up with his soda thanks to muscle memory 99%
Other than that, he would try to guard it but would end up spilling it probably
Drink stealer at worst, mediocre drink carrier at best
Next place is...
Great Tiger
Slightly above the average at protecting it, but would still forget it or spill it while teleporting for sure
Seems like the type to party too hard and make someone chug your drink because you cant refuse a triple dog dare
Next place is...
Aran Ryan
Believe me, he is in no way sane or normal but damn he can protect a drink
He'd spill it a little but thats way better than drinking it or throwing it onto the floor entirely
He'd probably hold it for a while and not lose it, he would lose you instead so you'd have to search for him and after some he would give up protecting your drink
Next place is...
Don Flamenco
He's the fine line between "i would have been better off shoving this cup up where the sun doesnt shine" to "i trust you with my life let alone this cup"
He seems like a party animal, that probably means he has experience holding cups
He'd protect your drink like his life depends on it
A little bit lower on the list since he also has the disadvantage of partying too hard
Next place is...
Disco Kid
Come on, you expected this, if he can fight while busting it down he can surely hold your drink
Hes probably a huge party animal so he has experience holding things for people
He would def buy a replacement for you if he were to somehow lose it or fuck it up somehow
Next place is...
Von Kaiser
You might be saying "how the fuck would he guard my drink he would get knocked down like Joe, moe you are so wrong and stinkyyy" but i present you this: covering the cup like a maniac and hiding in the corner
He looks like the type to fight anyone willing to come near your drink if you ask him to hold it and i will die on this hill
Next place is...
Piston Hondo
Same thing as kaiser except hes more likely to win the fight so hes higher on this list
Hes also more likely to hide away from the type of people who would snatch up that drink and chug it for a triple dog dare
Next place is...
Bear Hugger
Hes 100% the type to chug a drink for a triple dog dare, Just not yours
Since hes big & tall protecting your drink would be easy for him,if he has to do something he would probably find you and give it to you before he does it, ranked a bit lower because of that but still better than whatever the people below him have going on
And the top of the list is..
Mr Sandman!
Be honest, you expected this
He's less likely to get into a fight with anyone since no one will dare to piss off a visibly buff boxing champion and if you disagree with that i only have one thing to ask you: how does it feel to be wrong
Honorable Mentions...
Ms. Bear - You don't fight bears + people are not very likely to approach a bear on its 2 feet holding a drink and if you are the types to approach a bear on its 2 feet holding a cup im suprised youre still alive
Carmen - she's def the type of friend to hold your stuff as you go into the bathroom at a party, that explains enough about her
Bear Hugger's Squirrel - if he was included in this list, he'd be at the bottom because 1) this little bitch would leave it and 2) its a fucking squirrel and most importantly: this weak ass cannot lift a cup

tbh idk why but i always imagine fighting with my comfort people because not everything is perfect and i kind of have this feeling that if you ever got into fight with joe while he's a bit tipsy or smth you'd go to his parents' house because where else would you go and then they'd call joe and be like "are u fucking crazy they were crying so hard"
Mean what you say, or say what you mean.
Joseph Quinn x GN!Reader
Warnings; Angst, Fluff
————————————————————————————————————————
Couples fight. It’s natural. But it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt when it happens.
This time Joe had come home from a night out with some friends. He stumbled in tipsy, making you jump from your place on the couch. He spots you, making his way over to you. He plops on the couch, looking at your annoyed expression. “What’s wrong?” He slurs, and you shake your head. “It’s late.” You state, simply. He glances at the clock, 2:30 a.m. “I know, we lost track of time.” He tries to explain, you can smell the alcohol on his breath. “You said you’d be home by 11:30, Joseph. Then you don’t answer your phone? I was worried sick!” You get up, frustration rushing through your body.
“But clearly I’m fine, it’s not that big of a deal.” He rolls his eyes, annoyed. “It is when I’m out late with my friends.” You inform, because he worries too when you don’t answer. He shrugs, “That’s different.” You roll your eyes, “How in the hell is that different?”
He groans, getting up. “I don’t need this.” He shakes his head, making his way out of the living room. You follow him, “What is it that you don’t need?” You pry, following him into the bedroom. “This! Your interrogation! You realize how many people want me, (Y/N)? And I’m sure they wouldn’t act like this!” He yells out of anger. You take a step back, eyes wide at his words. He realizes what he said a few moments later, seeing the tears well up in your eyes.
“Then go be with them.” You state, grabbing your shoes and exiting the bedroom. You hear him stumbling quickly behind you, calling your name. He doesn’t catch you quick enough before you’re already out the door, making your way to the car.
You drive to his parents house, knowing his mother told you whenever you need; to come there. You find her spare key, opening the door. Expecting her to have been asleep already, you jump when you see her in the kitchen. “(Y/N)! You scared the life out of me! What’re you doing here?” She asks, eyes filled with worry.
You break down, a crying mess as she makes her way over to you; she holds your shoulders as she walks you to a stool in the kitchen, sitting you down. “You tell me what happened, I’ll make you some tea.” She states, walking to the tea kettle. You nod, before telling her everything that happened; through tears and broken sobs.
She’s fuming by the end of the story, she grabs her phone; clicking away before putting it to her ear. You hear a muffled voice on the other end, knowing it’s Joseph. “Joseph Anthony Francis Quinn! Are you fuckin’ crazy?” She yells into the phone. “Yes, they’re here. I did not raise you to say such disrespectful things, you have (Y/N) here crying. (Y/N) loves you, Joseph.” She tells him, sternly.
“Oh, you didn’t mean it? Well next time, mean what you say and say what you mean! You sober up, and you come here tomorrow and apologize. Do you understand?” You hear another muffled response and a small smile forms on your lips.
“I love you, too. Goodnight.” She hangs up, sighing deeply. “That boy..” She trails off, handing you your tea. “He loves you, I know he does. He will be here tomorrow, and he will make it right or he’ll have me to answer to, okay?” She searches your eyes, and you see exactly where his eyes come from. You smile, “Thank you.. For everything.” She nods, walking you to the big couch in the living room; “You can sleep here if you’d like, extra blankets are in the closet.” She informs, telling you goodnight and going up to bed.
———
The next morning you’re woken to the sound of voices in the hall, rubbing the sleep from your eyes you listen in. “Where’s (Y/N)?” Your heart races at the sound of his voice. You hear her mutter your location, sending him your way. He slowly walks in, head down as he approaches you. He looks down at your red, swollen eyes from crying last night and his heart just about shatters.
He kneels down on the floor beside you, taking your hands in his. “(Y/N), my love… I am so so sorry. I didn’t mean anything I said last night, I was drunk and completely out of line. You worry about me, and I should be happy about that. I am happy about that.” He rambles on, and then you notice he’d been crying too.
You reach up, swiping your thumb under his eye. “Were you crying?” He nods, “After you left.. I was so scared that you were gone for good, you don’t know how relieved I was to get that call from my mom.. scared of her, but relieved you were with her.” He admits. You sigh, “You really hurt me last night.. I know how many people want you Joseph, and I’m so lucky to have been the one you chose..” He stops you, shaking his head. “No, sweetheart. I’m the lucky one, you’re perfect for me. I will never want anyone but you.”
You smile softly, leaning forward and kissing him gently. Pulling away, his big, brown eyes bore into yours. “Do you forgive me?” He mutters, and you fake contemplation for a bit, seeing the panic raise on his face. You giggle, “Yes, of course. I forgive you. I love you.” You admit, and he sighs in relief. “I love you.. So much.”

Secret Admirer Joe Quinn x Reader
Tumblr media
TEASER
Heres the full thing lol
Not sure how to finish this tbh
Thinking about adding smut but if yall don’t want smut let me know I can finish it off differently
- here is a small teaser though, let me know what you think, does it need smut? or maybe even a pt 2 with just pure smut
“Hey, is this seat taken?” You were startled by his voice above you, you looked up to see Joe, a small smile on his lips, martini in hand gesturing to the empty side of the booth seat you were sitting at, you shook your head no and shuffled over to allow him more space at your table.
“I’m Joe” he said holding out his hand delicately for you to take, which you did quickly. His hands were soft, this made you notice that everything about this man close up was soft, he radiated warmth and comfort and you were a puddle of mess inside thinking about your current situation. “You already knew that though” he continued with a little laugh.
“What makes you assume that?” You teased, wanting to stay cool calm and collected in front of the man you had been crushing on through a screen.
“Well, you bought me my favourite drink, which could have been a coincidence of you could have seen it online” He answered, lifting the drink to his mouth once he was done, staring intently at you waiting for a response. You could see the smirk on his lips from behind the glass, this man was absolutely going to be the death of you.
“Okay, you got me, I’m Y/N by the way”. You replied.
Joes smile grew. “it’s lovely to meet you Y/N” The way your name rolled off his tongue sent shivers down your spine. You felt numb, like this was a dream, you noticed the way Joe was looking at you, how dark and enticing his eyes were.
“I didn’t mean to bother you tonight; the bartender wasn’t supposed to say I bought you the drink”
Joe shuffled closer, the scent of his cologne intoxicating, you felt like you were being put under a spell. “I asked him who sent the drink, wanted to know who the pretty girl was with the pretty handwriting”
“It was my handwriting that interested you?” You teased.
Joe laughed, leaning in so he was only inches from your face. “I was watching you at the bar, saw you ordering the drinks, I was glad he confirmed it was you that had bought it”
His hand was brushing against your leg on the seat as he used his arm for support leaning into you. You friends had since been forgotten, your entire focus on Joe now. You looked into his eyes, over his face, down to his lips that were so close to touching your skin now.
“You were watching me?” You asked, just a whisper due to the proximity of his face. If it wasn’t for the dim lighting, you would have absolutely been busted with the bright blush forming on your face.
“Couldn’t keep my eyes off you” Joe answered, his smile growing

please infodump about jatcch i beg i beg i beg 🙏🙏
👀 omg, omg ok SO i'm sorry in advance for my ravings because they are not going to make any sense,,
most people know about the jatcch movie ending, which is my favorite interpretation, but there's also the 2007 novel that the movie is based on and a lot of fans don't know about the 2005 dionysos album "monsters in love."
spoiler warning for the book below the cut because i be rambling-
basically, in the book jack doesn't die after kissing miss acacia. in fact, it's confirmed that there was actually nothing necessarily wrong with his heart and the three rules were just nonsense madeleine came up with to keep him dependent on her,,, which is... Not Great obviously. if i recall correctly, it's been a while since i've read it, he gets into this argument with miss acacia over joe and jack, like a total dumbass (with all due respect), starts ripping his heart out of his chest. this sends him into a coma for about three years. when he wakes up, he learns a few things:
a) méliès wrote a book about him and his heart (not important to this post per say, but that is where he learns he never needed a cuckoo clock heart in the first place, so yikes amiright?)
b) he looks different
c) everyone thinks he's dead and miss acacia is married to joe now
so, like, he's shit out if luck, but he tries to reacquaint himself with miss acacia anyway, who goes on about how she's unhappily married and how she's actually in love with this dude who died three years ago. jack's like, "omg girlie, that's me" and he gives her his old cuckoo clock heart.
instead of being happy that he's alive, miss acacia is PISSED. she's like, "dude, i thought you were dead, i'm in a loveless marriage, and i put flowers on your grave every day for the past few days. fuck you actually." she leaves and never speaks to him again, so jack returns to edinburgh as a phantom of his former self. really great stuff.
anyway, if monsters in love is canon to the jatcch storyline, it takes place directly after the end of the novel and technically makes the novel a prequel considering the album came first. anyway, i don't know exactly how much time has passed between the end of the book and the first song in the tracklist "giant jack" (banger song btw), but my guy's been through some things. he's godzilla-sized now and he's terrorizing scotland because,,,
reasons.
also, the song tes lacets sont des fées has a music video featuring jack, acacia, and what i assume is the "broken bird" (another song from the tracklist). it's weird as hell, but it does allude to the fact that maybe miss acacia returned to edinburgh at one point to perform and encountered jack, who is not doing it great let's be real. and she does not care about him tbh, which,, given whatever is going on in the music video, is valid.
we're not gonna ask questions, it's dionysos we're talking about. like i could rant all about my headcanons on what all the other songs mean and the fact that joe is probably mister chat, but this post is already long enough 😭

hiii i pinky promise i voted for smallidarity in the ship things both against bdubs and cleo (i had already done that) and against scarian (while looking through your blog just now) but i want to be anon so i cant prove it. anyways if it is okay instead of art i would like u to make a ship chart of whatever your favorite ships and relationship status headcanons are among the hermitcraft/empires/life series gang, like otp and divorced and qpr and whatever. no pressure to do this though i know its not exactly something you offered but given that you like smallidarity and scar/pearl i am very curious what else you like
Thank you for asking!!! i shouldve done this with or without need to rig the trafficshipping polls, so thanks for insigating me to make it anyways!!! :D
Tumblr media
I'll try summarize the preferences I have that I feel dont make much sense?
shipping rant belooww....
👇👇👇
Firstly I can't really describe well why I like Pearl x Scar, but I'll try:
Life series
Scar POV about Pearl: 'Caring motherly and honest person who's smile lights up the room is just the person who I need in my life full of people I can't trust. Oh, she's traumatized? for losing all the people she loves and as a result developed abandonment issues? .... oh..... oh she just like me fr.'
Pearl POV about Scar: 'this guy is kinda wacko tbh but... now I know what he goes through, and I want to be there for him. We're in this together or some shi i guess. and his abs are kinda hot. wait who said that'
(to quote the part in Secret Life where Scar talks about not trusting alliances and Pearl saying "you're growing on me, Scar.")
Hermitcraft
Scar POV about Pearl: 'This lady creates the most gorgeous landscapes..... ohh now she wants to fix my unhealthy chest monster habits.... and she also helps me out when I need it even if i give her minimum wage..... and she also has a cute smile. wait who said that'
Pearl POV about Scar: 'Silly goof :3 also why doesn't he take care of himself well? Anyways, cleaning lady time'
=====
I could talk about Zedango and XBralis but basically they call each other pet names and roleplay gay people just like Smallidarity but with no instance of the "doomed narrative" or "slow-burn in denial" that they have. Otherwise, Ethubs is self-explanatory.
Speaking of doomed narrative, i dont think ive heard much talk about how doomed scott x pearl is..... They were in a trio group in last-life with Cleo, fought in an honourable 4-way battle with treebark, Scott won, they're now soulmates through unpleasant means, Scott leaves with Cleo, leaving Pearl alone and hurt, they had to work with each other despite the saltiness and eventually resulted in Scott sacrificing himself in honour, for her to win. The bitterness lasted in Lim!Life with the enchanting table shtick, then in Secret Life with the whole "We have unfinished business from Double Life, Scott!!!" from Pearl. (you could also count the doggy alliance with Cleo ig)
Do you see it?!! Do you see it?!?!?!?!?!?!
I could also write about Scottyn but it's relatively the same concept of how Scott prioritizes honour against the watchers' encouragement of chaos, and Martyn listener lore ykyk. (also in Lim!Life with Martyn betraying honour, opposite of Scott yk?!)
Now to Scarian........ I love desert duo a lot. They are in fact my favourite duo overall, I just— can't picture them in a relationship? Like yeah, they tick all the marks of a great narrative pairing and they also love each other, but I personally don't think they two are the type to whisper softly 'i love you' in bed to each other with eyes of passion and romance, nor the types to get flustered over romantic gestures by the other. They are, however, each other's comfort character and would hug and cheek-kiss each other just to be a little silly. I do see the appeal of Scarian though! just not with the version of the two that's in my head...!
Joe x Cleo are cute. They just give me the QPR vibes yk. (even though i might not fully get what a QPR means)
Now to disliking Mumdoc.... I only know of their dynamic through HC8 and 9.... and I really only ever got sour vibes from their dynamic....... they then kissing just irks me ig...... (but yk ive only watched a summative 50 episodes from each of them so i dont know the full idea of who they are to each other)
Honorable mention to Stresskall who doesn't receive the attention they deserve... they're so cute.........
Otherwise, yeah that's it !!! the others I mostly dont get, but are all valid nonetheless👍👍

my @mcytblraufest gift for @whoretimeswithscar! an over the garden wall au with mcyt characters! if youre unfamiliar, over the garden wall is a cartoon starring two brothers, wirt and greg, who find themselves lost in a place called the unknown and try to find their way around home, meeting many people including someone called the woodsman and a talking bluebird named beatrice.
starring: wilbur as wirt, the older brother; tommy as greg, the younger brother; grian as beatrice, the bluebird but as a parrot, + other cast and stuff under the cut! cause i made a BUNCH for this apparently.
charlie slimecicle as jason funderberker the frog! he's basically the brothers' pet frog, and he gets a musical number in one of the episodes!
Tumblr media
AND a bunch of screenshot redraws from the opening sequence (on youtube, also dont watch after the title card at abt 45 secs in if you dont want spoilers from the end)
although i think the next stuff do have some spoilers for some characters
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
characters in order: charlie, grian, joe (and cleo in the painting), stress, and gem!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then bad as the woodsman, dream as the beast, and then skeppy!
okay really going into spoiler territory here for the characters:
wilbur and tommy are wearing lmanburg/or just revolution uniforms in general as halloween costumes! wilburs are too short on him, and tommys are too big. tommys wearing red rainboots cause he doesnt have fancy ones like wilbur already had.
charlies just a slimy frog with glasses. no one knows how they stay there, there's no tape or anything. also he has. teeth. no reason at all tbh, and he also doesnt speak yet like in canon aside from the musical numbers.
grian as beatrice! i mean, he does seem like the type to get his family cursed because of shenanigans.
joe hills as quincy endicott and zombie cleo as margueritte grey! i really like this idea hehe. the premise of endicotts episode is that hes an eccentric lonely rich guy with a huuuge mansion who thinks is haunted, or that he might just really be going mad. turns out that his mansion was just so huge that he didnt realize that it was two mansions joined together, and that the resident of the other mansion, margueritte grey, was the ghost he thought he was seeing, and also thought he was a ghost. so like shenanigans with joe and cleo lmao.
stress as auntie whispers and gem as lorna! lorna is a young sick girl who lives with auntie whispers, but turns out her sickness was an evil spirit possessing here and forcing her to devour people, she didnt know tho i think and thought auntie was evil and forcing her to do chores. auntie whispers was like a really creepy evil looking old woman but turns out she was nice, just evil and creepy looking.
bad as the woodsman and skeppy as the woodsmans daughter! and dream as the beast. the beast was this.. idk he was the beast. an evil spirit taking children lost in the woods? the woodsmans daughter had gotten lost in the woods and the beast told the woodsman that the lantern contained his daughters soul, and he had to keep it lit of else his daughter was dead forever by chopping edelwood trees and turning them to oil as fuel. and then turns out the beast was just tricking him
also! the unknown is like, im pretty sure is supposed to be the afterlife? or like limbo, or as u had mentioned in your request notes, dantes inferno! when you mentioned dantes inferno, and limbo, and cool imagery, otgw was the first thing that came to my mind! i had just watched this one video essay about otgw being a modern retelling of dantes inferno before i recieved your request lol. cause wirt and greg were supposed to be drowning while they were in the unknown i think.
also!! for the first drawing, the scene is like, not rly anything specific for the show, i just thought it looked cool. and i somehow had the idea to. make it a painting. again. against all previous experiences of paintings being absolute slogs to finish. they almost always just reach the point of i dont even want to look at this anymore its good enough, but im really love how this one came out!
i had a few other au ideas i was thinking of before i did this one, i didnt manage to do them mostly bc it was always like. wayyy out of my artistic skills and also i didnt know how to make them make sense or execute them well enough.
previous ideas included: some sort of adventure story/comic/chose your own adventure/small rpg/point and click adventure/idk of limbo and exploring people's limbo, such as wilbur in the train station, schlatt in the gym, tommy in a void, grian in the middle of 3rd life and last life, etc. and the vibes i was looking for like victorian impossible mansion with shifting rooms or smth and also these kinds of stuff like a small pixel art point and click exploring of limbos
and also an ibong adarna au (????) its a filipino story of a prince journeying to capture the legendary bird, ibong adarna, to cure his sick father, and he had two older brothers who also failed bc they werent kind to a beggar in the street who turned out to be a sorcerer(?). basically, wilbur, techno, and tommy as the princes, with tommy as the youngest who succeeded bc he was kind, charlie as the ermitanyo/beggar?? and grian as the bird?
ANYWAYS thats all very sorry for the literal freaking wall of rambling text here much apologies for the lateness and hope you enjoy it!!

Currently thinking about going to the store with mad love Michael and running into an ex, one that wasn’t particularly good to reader, and Michael going into protective husband mode 🥵 got me feeling some type of way tbh
Running to the store with you is something that Michael is still pretty new with. Considering the last time that Michael was at a grocery store without you, he killed a butcher, you see where his hesitancy towards going to a store came from. Still, he's gone with you a couple of times now, making it through incident-free.
That streak might end today.
It's just a quick trip to the store, your pantry missing a couple of necessities and you not wanting to bother the staff by making them go out of their way to pick up such a small order. Michael wanted to come with you (mainly because then he gets to pick out what ice cream you buy), and you were both enjoying loping up and down the aisles while talking and just being in each other's presence.
Your enjoyment of this grocery store trip ends when you turn into the frozen aisle and see him standing at the end of it. Michael feels you tense up next to him, and his eyes go to where you're looking. Quickly, you pull him out of the aisle and hope that you weren't seen. Your distress is obvious, and Michael tries not to jump to conclusions and burn the place down before hearing what you have to say.
"What's wrong?" he asks, his hands resting loosely at your waist. "Who was that?"
"Just...some guy that I dated freshman year." Michael knows that you're not telling the whole story, and he stares at you until you finally give in with a groan. "He wasn't the nicest to me while we dated."
Michael's eyes go black, and you can see his face flickering between the demon and him. "He hit you?"
"No! No, he didn't hit me." Michael's face goes back to normal, but you can still see his heavy breathing as he tries to control himself. "He was just mean, he would make fun of me a lot or purposely antagonize me and then ask why I was so upset. I don't know why I bothered to stick around with him for two months."
"I should kill him. I'm going to kill him, in fact."
Your hand jumps to his arm, gripping his sleeve to keep him from going anywhere. "Michael, don't. Let's just go before he—"
"Hey Y/n! Thought I saw you."
Your heart stops. Not because you're scared of Joe, your ex-boyfriend who's currently standing before you. But because you're scared of what Michael's going to do to Joe now that he's standing before you.
You awkwardly laugh and push yourself out from in front of Michael, who refuses to let go of your hand. "Hey Joe. How's it been?"
"Good, good." He nods. "You?"
"I've been great." God, you're pretty sure you'd rather get shot than have to engage in small talk with anybody, let alone an old ex. "Thought you graduated already?"
"I did, I graduated last year! Got accepted to grad school here though, and the offer was just too good to pass up."
"Congrats man, that's awesome." Michael continues to seethe next to you, and you can tell it's working by the way Joe glances between the two of you.
"Thanks, I'm enjoying it so far. I'm sure that'll change by next semester though." Joe shoves his hands into his pockets before smiling at you. "You look great, by the way."
"Oh!" You're flustered by this, caught off guard at his sudden compliment. You're preparing to say thanks before mentioning that there's something you need to be doing (oil change? walk the cat?) when Michael puts on his most earth-shatteringly brilliant smile and looks at you.
"She does, doesn't she?" His smile falls easily to his stone-cold business demeanor as he sizes Joe up. It's moments like these where you can see just how easily Michael gets world leaders to tremble in their seats. "I'm Michael, by the way. Y/n's fiancé."
For his part, Joe has the decency to look pleasantly surprised instead of just bewildered. "Awesome! Congratulations, Y/n, nobody told me that you got engaged."
You want to say that yeah, nobody told him because he doesn't have any friends that deserve to even follow you on Instagram. Instead, you place your left hand on Michael's chest and nonchalantly show off your ring. "We like that it's not a well-known fact, it feels more intimate that way."
"I totally get that."
Michael looks back to you, kissing your cheek to gain your attention. "We should be going now, love. I have a virtual meeting with Washington in an hour." He looks at Joe as if to say 'what can you do?' and Joe smiles like he's in pain.
"Shit, that's right, I totally forgot." You didn't forget, because Michael has no such meeting today (it's tomorrow). "Well, it was good to see you."
"Yeah, great seeing you too!" Joe grabs his cart again and begins to push it back and forth.
Michael smirks, nodding at Joe. "Nice meeting you, Jake."
"It's, uh, Joe."
"That's what I said." With one last grin thrown his way by Michael's and a wave goodbye by you, Michael pulls you down the aisle with his hand in your back pocket, acting like nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Neither of you mention what just occurred while you're hurriedly grabbing the last items you need. You don't mention it in the self-checkout line, nor in the parking lot. It's not talked about when you ride the cart back to the cart corral, or when Michael opens the car door for you. You almost think it's not going to be brought up by Michael, until he closes his door and laughs loudly.
"Really?" Michael asks. "That guy?"
Your cheeks heat up and you shrug, finding your hands to be very interesting to look at. "It was freshman year, okay? I was lonely and in a new place and he was the first guy to ever really show any interest in me."
"I'm the only guy showing interest in you that matters." He says it almost defensively, like he's trying to convince you of this.
You take his face in your hands and kiss him. "Yes, and that's how it'll be for the rest of our lives. You played the role of possessive boyfriend very well, by the way."
Michael scoffs. "'Played?'"
The rest of the day goes without any mention of your awkward encounter in the grocery store. You do keep an eye on obituaries and social media a bit closer for the next week, though. Just in case Michael actually decided to make good on his promise to kill your ex.

what are some fics that you go back and read again and again? one of my absolute favorites is Give Me Light, Give Me Life which has been orphaned but has all my favorite Winnix tropes and is extremely cute, I literally reach for this one first every time I want to reread something. I also love More Than a Team, which has some great outsider perspective on Dick and Nix as a couple and Nix being a great BIL to Ann. Also Cats & Dogs by some author you've probably never heard of. :3
what's a headcanon that you will die on that hill? tbh I'm at that point in this fandom where it's hard to clearly ID headcanon vs. Things That Are Just True, so here are some of my favorite "not technically clearly defined in the show" things in no particular order: Dick's shallow foxhole in Bastogne is just where he hangs out during the day when he's not actively at the CP, he shares Nix's more palatial one to huddle for warmth regardless if they're a couple yet. Mary Frank Sledge and various other close family members of The Boys are clumsily accepting of their relationships - or at least very don't ask don't tell about why Babe moved to Louisiana to live with a war buddy - because it did historically happen (read Coming Out Under Fire by Allan Berube if you haven't already!) and the world is depressing enough without needing to drag it into my pretendy fun times. Joe genuinely does like to read and while isn't as formally educated as Web does grow to like swapping books with him and getting into heated debates about them. When they move in together post war, he's a very critical but ultimately constructive editor of Web's articles and books. Ron becomes penpals with Lip's mom while he's in Korea. Not explicitly headcanon but it's historical truth that Gene Sledge would occasionally send the paper letter version of an angry group chat to Burgie, Snaf and their other friends when he didn't like folks interviewing him for books about the war and that is 100% a thing he and Dick both do lol. Harry often house sits for Dick and Nix's dog when they're off on adventures. Harry has also clocked them as a couple from the instant he stepped in on them arguing in "Currahee" and is just The Ultimate Bro and never says anything.
what's your favorite wip of yours? as you well know, I don't have a lot of wips currently, but I have been meaning to brush off some old finished unplublished fics including a sequel to the sledgefu soulmate au fic I posted on AO3 a million years ago and a daemon au thing with Snaf and Mary Frank Sledge.

Cyborg 009 BGOOParts Delete (2020) - Volume 2
A full year has past since I read volume 1, so it’s time for me to get up to speed. Luckily, since this is a story that has been rehashed time and time again, it’s going to be easier to recall what’s going on. I can’t believe 3 more volumes have already come out, what a quick turnaround time! (Probably not a good sign tbh). 
Ch. 8 
-It kind of bugs me how the cyborgs names are stylized with their numbers and then their actual names in furigana. Are they calling each other by their names or their numbers? Confusing...
-The art style continues to be gorgeous. Love the dedication to keeping older aesthetics alive (I follow some artists on Insta that do 90s anime art). 
-A lot of the vocabulary went over my head this chapter, but it’s not too hard to grasp the generic “mwahaha we’ll become powerful Gods and take over the world” narrative.
-I feel like some of the Mythos cyborgs translate well to modern day and some are too cheesy to take seriously -cough- hippo man -cough cough- 
Ch. 9
-Whelp, that chapter was kind of difficult to understand. This manga is very monologue/dialogue heavy. I could basically tell that they were going on and on about destiny and the meaning of their existence (both the numbers cyborgs and the mythos cyborgs) 
-Kind of annoying how 003 gets relegated to “(wo)man in the chair” instead of getting in on the main action, but oh well. I guess it makes sense since her ability isn’t really useful in battle.  
Ch. 10
-So Hera took over Rico’s body preventing the numbers cyborgs from attacking her. Once again, I struggled to follow this one. Even though it’s a modern Cyborg 009, they still talk in an old timey way that’s hard to follow.
-These chapters are really short. This one was basically entirely villain monologue and very boring. 
Ch. 11
-Okay, I lied, that chapter was kind of long. We’re really moving at a snail’s pace here. Like a multiple chapter build up to a single battle...is that really necessary? What is this, Dragon Ball?
-Helena (or one of her sister’s) and Pan show up. Helena says something about this being a battle that was fought before previously. Tell me about it lol...
Ch. 12
-A pretty dull fighting chapter where the Mythos cyborgs mock the numbers cyborgs. They all seem to be paired up with cyborgs similar to them and mostly evenly matched. 
-The horse cyborg’s neck guns are pretty cursed looking, yuck
-So apparently other numbers cyborgs can use acceleration mode because of the Dolphin somehow? That just feels like cheating...
Ch. 13
-In this chapter Apollon just goes on an on about his “real sister” Helena who is also Artemis I guess? I dunno lol. He said that she has the power to amplify her teammates powers which...I’m so sick of these female characters getting the lame supporting role bleh. Also 003 shows up for like two seconds and does nothing (except call for Ivan). 
-Joe has literally been standing around saying nothing for several chapters now. What a boring hero. He might as well be a silent video game protagonist. 
-Urgh...gotta find something positive to say...I guess I was kinda excited that Ivan was mentioned for the first time in awhile, but we didn’t actually get to see him. Boo. 
-I know it was like this in the OG manga, but I wonder what the logic was behind making some of the Mythos cyborgs animal hybrids and some human like. Achilles is a panther dude for example. 
Ch. 14
-Joe successfully defeats Achilles, Geronimo fights the minotaur and Francoise confronts Helena (who she recognizes from their past meeting). It was nice to see Geronimo fighting for a change. 
Not sure if I’m finding this painful to read because of the tricky, kanji-heavy Japanese or because the writing sucks. Gonna say it’s a combo of the two...Oh well. Only a few volumes to go and I’ll be done. Just want the Mythos arc to end.
