requested? yes / no
pronouns used : they / them
cw! light nsfw (Dream) , mentions of jumpscares (horror films)
Dream
he is a big fan of a good old netflix and chill session
something about the warm, dark living room only illuminated by the moving images on the screen, your silhouette barely visible under a blanket and whatever snack you’d found on his cupboard on your hands gets this man in a raunchy mood
he’ll pull you to his lap or slide next to you and start pecking at your neck
“But it’s just getting to the good part”
you stretch your neck to give him more room anyways
“Oh we’re about to get to the good part”
you chuckle and bite your lip to stifle a sigh as his lips begin to trace your jaw
the movie gets paused is what I’m saying
he refuses to buy any snacks from the candy shop whenever you do go to the cinema
“It is unnecessarily expensive!”
“You have twenty million fucking subscribers!”
“BUT FOUR DOLLARS?!”
he has the most creative ways of smuggling sweets
it started with a classic tote bag
it’s become sort of a game
once, he bought the most ridiculously bulgy jacket and wore it in scorching florida weather solely for the purpose of hiding crisps
he laughs easily at movies and his wheeze has made you get kicked out of a movie theatre at least once
will talk about his favourite parts of the movie for hours after it’s finished
will laugh whenever he thinks about the funniest parts for days
George
(sort of George with a film buff s/o)
he doesn’t talk during movies and actively dislikes people who do
will complain if he doesn’t like the film but only in quiet whispers and not if he suspects you are particularly enjoying it
you made him watch a Tarkovsky film one time
he swears he didn’t fall asleep
he did
but he tried his best <3
can’t choose the movie for the life of him so you always end up having to pick
every time you try and analyze color symbolism he’ll chime in
“I’m colorblind”
before you can finish
you bait him honestly
he likes listening to you talk about your favorite movies and all the films you want to show him
he’ll look up facts about your favourite directors and will make fun of your least favourite ones with you
makes a great snobby-tarantino-fan “you’ve not known real cinema until you’ve watched pulp fiction” impression that never fails to make you cackle
he is not a fan of horror films
you tried to make him watch one once
“I don’t really like horror movies but you said this one was good so- WHAT IS THAT?!”
turned it off immediately and you ended up watching the hobbit
Harry potter marathons are a must
he can imitate maggie smith’s accent to perfection
Sapnap
you watch anime together
I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like it
he doesn’t either
he’ll make you watch it
he has good taste though, so you end up enjoying it
cuddles with Sapnap cuddles with Sapnap cuddles with Sapnap

you order in and eat a late night dinner in bed
Your pick monday, wednesday, friday
his pick tuesday, thursday, saturday
a full on debate on sundays trying to figure out a good middle ground

“Awww are you scared baby?”
“Shut up y/n I’m only holding you so you don’t get scared”
“I won’t :)”

Technoblade
(take a shot every time popcorn is mentioned and pass out)
one of your first dates was actually a movie date
he turned and whispered in your ear whenever a clever wip popped in his head and his commentary was so funny you had to bury your face in your hands so your laughter didn’t disturb the other people in the theatre

getting really into the adventure time lore
tickle fights when the film gets boring
he takes recommendations from “indie film” tiktoks and you mock him for it endlessly
he has weirdly obscure knowledge on every show you watch
he has a big colección of dvds/videotapes so you get to watch some oldies
he falls asleep with his head in your lap or your shoulder
he gives you a sweater or hoodie to wear and lends you plaid pyjama pants
you quote movies on stream and have ton of private jokes
can you tell I got lazy at the end?
likes and reblogs are always appreciated and have a wonderful morning/day/afternoon/evening/night <3

Cowboy Bebop Live Action- Review(ish)
Alrighty, I know we have seen many reviews already, but I knew from the beginning that I would not let this show go by without giving my 2 cents, so here we go!
Want my short take? I think there was clear effort put into this, but essentially it fails as a good adaptation. There are good moments and bad moments and I will mention them both, but overall I am not a huge fan. My current rating stands at 5/10. I have reasons, if you want to know, please continue forward (:
IT DOES NOT DO THE ANIME JUSTICE
Okay- I know I sound like the seething fans here (which I will speak about later on in this post), but let's unpack that. I came into this series not expecting it to be just like the OG and actually expecting it to be almost like a fanfiction. It got me a little excited because I love Bebop fics! So this should be fun...However, as I was watching, I felt like saying that was making excuses for when it fell short. This is not some random fan work, it is a professional work and so it is held to a different standard. It turns out I don't want a fanfiction out of this. I want them to tell the story that's there (not necessarily exactly the same way) and honor the original series. That doesn't mean they didn't honor the anime at all, I actually feel like they did a good job of that in many ways. They included lots of fun little things that I think definitely called back to the original and made me happy.
For example, I really loved the world they created (not talking about the execution). It was very cool to see it all come to life, especially the ship! I would say the fight scenes had a lot of little moments that shined too. I actually liked that opening scene and I thought Spike kicking the Woolong with his foot was just greatness. There are other moments like this that I did enjoy, but this is just to name a few. Now, unfortunately, where it failed was in the biggies. Story and characters. In turn, that connects with a failure in writing and direction. I said from the beginning that if they touched the story and characters (too much) it wouldn't bode well and low and behold, here we are. We could go back and fourth on the point of this adaptation, but all I can say is, it's still a show called Cowboy Bebop so that is the shoe it must fit.
STORY
Let's talk about the plot. First off, I did NOT want a 1:1 remake. No, in fact I think the moments where they tried to do that were some of the worst (except maybe that last replica scene with Spike and Vicious. That was kind of cool). It's not about the show being exactly the same, but rather it reflecting the actual soul of the original show. The essence that makes it so special, which, one could argue, is the lack of and inability to connection and purpose in the current world, due to past experiences. They are stuck and flawed human beings who wander aimlessly...it's existential. This live action barley touched that with the tip of it's finger. It became a basic level show about found family (Bebop is about this too, but in a very different way) that used an iconic title and iconic characters as the face of it.
I can see why writers would want to add onto or fill in Bebop's (practically non-existent) plot line, however I think there is a way to do that without cheapening it. There were additions I thought were kind of unnecessary. The Jet being a literal father thing. Idk, it just felt like it was only there to give Jet more motivation and cause conflict between him and Spike later on...not a good enough reason in my opinion. Especially because if Jet was a father he would probably not be hunting and have all the purpose in the world.
I also wasn't a fan of the way they adapted some of the side stories too, like Asimov and Katerina for example. It made them less impactful and I think it's because they tried to re-create moments and scenes rather than focusing on the feeling and point of things. I wouldn't have even minded if they created all new original characters and stories with the same kind of energy. Not saying that's the best idea, but I don't know, it would have stood out and been more creative maybe. Again, keeping the focus on the meaning and soul of the show. Like, when it came to Faye's video tape, the part that was like the anime was a bit weird, but the piano addition and her talking to her mom was really nice. Stuff like that.
Of course, changes should never be made for the sake of being different, they should have a purpose. If something won't add to or deepen an already existing story, why do it? Like, how much did making Katerina an heiress (?) really add to anything? I would have been more interested to know more about her and Asimov's relationship and how they got to that point or get a chance to really sit in the tragedy of them. Hopefully, you understand what I mean here...it's not that making changes is bad it's just the kind of changes and the way they went about it. Overall, it just feels almost mock-ish.
The same can be said for the Vicious and Julia (/Spike) storyline. It's just there to be there and fill in the blanks rather than actually do anything wroth while. I thought about going through every bit of this particular section that I wasn't a fan of, but that's just too much. I'll say this, there were some interesting choices, but none of them really felt meaningful. Here is what I would want out of this kind of thing. I want to understand the characters like Vicious, Julia and co and feel for them a bit. I want to see a visible change in Spike. Past Spike didn't seem much different from Bebop Spike. He dressed differently, had a different job, and different name (which btw, that name is so stupid omg), but I couldn't really see a change. I wanted to like and root for Julia and Spike too, but it left me feeling pretty much the same, plus a tad annoyed. It all just felt very flat and very rushed. They should have taken their time to get through it! Spike's story, while the most curious one, is not really the main story. Again, it's about these Cowboys and these struggles. How they see themselves in the many people they meet who are in the same positions!!! They really just turned it into some weird villain origin story for Julia and ...gosh guys don't ask me about the ending. I laughed. I really laughed and that fall from the window did so not earn it's place with that music adjkshs. Just saying.
CHARACTERS
They weren't hungry enough. Haha.
Okay. The characters were the most disheartening thing for me. The one thing I really wish they didn't mess with too much. Before I get into it I just want to say, I think the actors are good actors and gave a decent performance. Really where these characters failed was in the script (and some of the acting choices as well, but that could also be led by direction).
There is far too much chumminess amongst the crew. At least for this point of their story. Going back to the fanfic point, if someone did an AU that takes place during the course of the show and the characters behaved this way, I would feel like they were OOC. The fact that it is a "professional work" makes it worse because it totally missed the point of the characters and the importance of their distance to each other. They're constantly saying what is on their mind and it freaks me out (lol). Is it fun? It can be at times and I won't lie and say some moments were not enjoyable, but it just doesn't sit right in the grand scheme of things. I think it would have been better to build up to those relationships properly. If they wanted to play with the idea of them actually bonding and becoming a functional team that might have been an interesting journey to watch and see how it affects the outcome of the story, but this almost feels like they are trying to "fix" the holes and the relationships the entire time. It doesn't need "fixing." (This was written before I actually saw the comment from the Gren actor...I get the context they're using, but still it's that energy throughout the whole thing). Don't change the characters just to get the chummy heartfelt stuff. Time to go more in depth...
FAYE
I just really need to talk about Faye. Okay, I know a lot of you liked her and as a stand alone character Netflix Faye is cool, but I personally did not see Faye Valentine in this interpretation. Let me re-phrase, I saw one side of Faye Valentine turned up to 10,000 percent. Faye is brash and annoying and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Yes, this is true of Netflix Faye too, but it's too much. I feel like we lose a lot Faye's dynamics, but let's take it one at a time.
All of her femme fatal nature and feminine qualities are basically gone. Faye is constantly shown bathing, doing her nails, getting a tan, shopping, reading girlish magazines etc...she's not strictly a tomboy. Maybe I'm nit-picking here, but it's kind of insulting to me. I have to wonder if they chose this direction to make her a stronger female character, but I always thought Faye was a strong female character as she was. She was a survivor with a guarded heart (let me repeat- GUARDED HEART) that could fend for herself and pull the badass from her back pocket all while her lipstick was in check and in a pair of heels...lol, but you get what I mean, right? There is nothing wrong with characters like the one Daniella played, but it just isn't this character. I am never in favor of changing an existing character's personality to fit a point box. I also just kind of hate when women are stripped of their "girlish qualities" for the sake of being a "strong woman," because all that says to me is they can't be strong and tough if they are too girlish. I feel this shows even more so in Julia, but we will get there in a bit... I like the addition of giving Faye more combat skill and seeing her kick ass, but that's really the only addition to her character I enjoyed from this.
The other thing, Faye was selfish and cunning and unapologetically so. The one thing you could expect from her was to take off when she wanted and gamble away her money or steal theirs. She was not always a good human being. At the same time she did have a lot of heart, but it was hard to see upfront because she was damaged and broken. I have absolutely no idea why Netflix strayed away from this. She warmed up to them (and them to her) way to quickly and she was so outwardly caring about them just... so quickly...I get they want the warm-hearted stuff, but why not let us see that gradual growth instead? Like when her "mom" showed up I was like, omg it's anime Faye! She had the bracelet gadgets, lied, cheated, schemed...Sure she's not exactly a good person, but the point about Faye is she grows from that by the end of the show and I think they missed an opportunity to really flesh that out. To me, she is far less interesting in this rendition. It's nothing I've never seen before.
Side note- what happened to her cards and gambling addiction??
SPIKE
I think I had more qualms with Spike's story than I did his character. I actually don't hate the way he was portrayed, but he had the same issues many of them did. He was too upfront about things. Even the way he went about keeping things from Jet. He was too reassuring about it. The characters as a whole were missing that figurative kind of conversation. Just look at the Netflix scene where they are about to go into Teddy's ship (episode 2 @14:00) in comparison with when they have a similar convo in Ballad of Fallen angels (session 5 @12:25). Anyways, Spike wasn't awful, but there were times when he felt like Spike and times when he didn't. Or maybe it was that he felt like a Spike that lived with different circumstances?
JET
I don't have much to say about Jet that I haven't already said (about his story). I think he is the most bearable and true to the original character. Is it perfect? Not exactly, but I never needed perfection. Just make him recognizable and I think Mustafa, despite some questionable dialogue, did that. I knew who he was right away and that is exactly what should happen.
VICIOUS AND JULIA
Gaawd. I don't even want to get into it, I mean so many of you have already said what I wanted to say so I think you get the point...I'll just touch on it a bit. First off, they're married! That's a choice.
They just totally murdered Vicious as a character. He was just so weak and too unsure of himself and emotional...like Vicious is basically soulless (not literally, but he's clearly been through enough sh*t to act that way) and I wanted to see that in him and see that transition from before to the present day. I didn't see him as "Vicious." I saw him as a sloppy, whiny man with major anger issues. And they gave him this whole "Don't tell me I'm not man enough" angle like- wtf?!?! Just ridiculous on all levels.
Julia. So earlier I was talking about how they must see woman who are girlish as weaker...well they proved their position on that with this one. They gave Julia all the feminine nature while making her a weaker character in the process. Like what is up with this mild sexism??? No? Just me seeing that? It's not that I don't think women can be shown feeling scared and vulnerable, but something about this instance just felt so blaaaah. I guess it just feels corny, the way she came up. In the anime I thought Julia was apart of the syndicate. We do see her being kind and nurturing, but we also see her slinging a gun and outrunning syndicate goons . This Julia was also kind of...annoying? I see where they were trying to go with her deceiving Vicious (I guess trying to make her a femme fatal), but it just was not done well. They really dug into that "it's not possible to escape," thing, but it just didn't feel authentic. I just really wanted to like her, but I couldn't. It's meh for me.
MISC
Okay, I feel like I could go in depth on other characters too, but I'm just going to leave a casual list of characters who were done so wrong, belittled, and deserved better.
GREN!!!
Mao
Bob...?
Teddy Bomber (though maybe that's fitting lol)
I won't be talking about Ed as of now because I don't think I have seen enough to really judge it.
CONCLUSION
If this show was a stand alone show, it might be a 6/10, maybe 7/10 for me. However, because I know the original, we are here. I want to just talk about the fans and all this criticism for a sec. This show is so, SO, special to so many people, and yes, not every major-long time-fan is upset about the live action, but that doesn't mean others don't have a right to feel upset about it. Does it change the original? No, and thank God for that, but it's still just a bad representation of it. Netflix is a major corporation in the entertainment industry and since when are people not allowed to critique and call out this industry or television in general? Everyone who likes the show is welcome to like the show and that's great, but others will not like it and they have perfectly valid reasons to not like it. Personally, I don't think the show needs to be canceled, but I sure as hell am not going to coddle it and stay quiet when it makes such ridiculous mistakes. You can't say not to compare it, because like I said, it has the same name. It IS an adaptation through an official and major production company of a classic show. It WILL be compared. If the Netflix version takes off, it might be what many think of when we hear Cowboy Bebop (if they had never seen the anime before). So in a way, it could affect the original. Overall, I just hope people watch the anime too because it truly is a work of art. If you made it this far in my overly lengthy "review" rant thanks lol. I'd like to know your thoughts too, even if you disagree on something! Please comment or reblog with your say. Talk to ya soon!
Also- remember we do still have the original ❤ I call re-watch time!

Nearly all the mains in “The Blooms at Ruyi Pavillion” are bisexual. I said it, so what?
My Bisexual Agenda is in high gear, y’all.
I’m hard binging the show and I’m on ep 35 now. I know they absolutely didn’t mean it this way but the main female character, Rong, gives me major poly bi vibes and I’m losing my mind over it.
Exhibit A: She sits like this.
A whole bisexual.
Exhibit B: She likes to cross-dress.
Her fit on the left with the snowy white over layer, the silver design work, and the brilliant red under layer? Immaculate.
Exhibit C: A day at the brothel.
Was it for an information gathering mission? Yes. Was it still fruity af? Also, yes.
Exhibit D: This Choice.
After Rong marries Prince Su as his concubine/consort (notably not as his First Wife), her “rival” Princess Xihe tries to weasel her way into their home in hopes of marrying Prince Su as his First Wife instead. She tries a bunch of tricks to get Prince Su to fall for her including playing up an injury to make him stay by her bedside.
So, what does our totally-not-bi female lead do?
She decides to slot herself into all of Princess Xihe’s romance entrapment plots and perform them with her.
What is that look, Prince Su????? The OT3 potential is real, y’all...
---
Except it’s not Prince Su who stays, it’s...Rong!
Bonus shot of Prince Su listening outside while Princess Xihe has a tantrum over not sleeping with him but with his wife instead:
I swear for god, Prince Su spends this whole sequence trying to wingman his own wife into bed with another woman.
Exhibit E: This. Whole. Exchange. Like seriously wtf?!
What in the holy???? This. Was. So. Bi-conic? For no reason, like???
Also why is she me when I see a cute girl I like crushing on a cute guy that I also like?
Exhibit F: Her Primary Emotional Arc
Now, let’s set aside the 2nd ML since she’s not romantically interested in him (and he is complete murdering, manipulating trash anyway so fuck him).
Rong’s biggest emotional arc for a huge part of the show is her being torn between loyalties to her sexy prince and her equally sexy mentor.
Prince Su
A man who’s kind, disciplined, too goofy for his own good, loyal to a fault, reckless with his life cuz he has pretty extreme low self esteem after he’s been told all his life he’s a jinx that curses everyone around him with bad luck.
Madam Ruyi
A self-made businesswoman who built a wildly successful jewelry emporium that acts as the front for a covert spy / blackmail-for-hire agency. So impressive, actually. She’s so morally gray she’ll extort you with implied threats against your chronically sick son while also planning to provide all the ingredients for the kid’s cure later on.
Both are resident badasses, btw:
Turns out Rong has the same type as me: Hot and Deadly.
---
Quick aside: let’s be honest...the Rong-Ruyi relationship is mentor-mentee with some older sister/aunt energy. I get that. I do. Buuuuuut...I also get big, fat lesbian vibes from Madam Ruyi and I have a weakness for older women so I’ll die on this hill.
Anyway, Madam Ruyi wants to leave literally all of her worldly assets to Rong and made her the spiritual successor of the jewelry business and its metalwork knowledge. While Rong doesn’t know it at the time, Ruyi probably also wants to make her the successor to her spy agency. She just never got the chance to ease Rong into that side of things.
Now at the midway mark of the show, Rong has the choice to either marry Prince Su in peaceful bliss or avenge her mentor because she mistakenly believes he killed her master.
I won’t get into all of the plot of this though I do have Thoughts. IMO, it makes a kind of sense as Rong’s been resisting falling for Prince Su up to this point due to her doom-filled prophetic dreams. But it doesn’t make sense that she didn’t at least try to talk to him first after what they’ve been through and I’m mad at the writer about it but whatever I digress...
The long and short of it is Rong has to choose between her years-long love for her mentor and the newfound love building for the prince. Guess what? She chooses her mentor and tries to stab the prince on their wedding night. 😬
While this is wrong for various reasons both in the story and because of poor plotting/characterization, it opened the door for my bi ass to highkey ship Rong-Ruyi and it gave a lot of unexpected angst for the Rong-Su ship, which I also enjoy.
Let me tell y’all, I walked right on through that door into my own fantasy world where this show is 10x gayer than it is irl.
Speaking of...
Prince Su and his best friend Baiqi are FWB cuz Baiqi is also a bisexual, fight me.
What was even the point of this moment?
*yoink*
Also, there is this iconic comforting moment:
Followed by this other bit of tenderness:
Sometimes when the dad you’ve hated for so many years tries to kill you but then later decides to spare you when he blows himself up leaving you all fucked up and confused, the only solace you can find is in the arms of your best friend-boss and/or your girlfriend.
Me too, Baiqi. Me too.

Headcanons for being a younger Avenger and mentoring Kamala
Kamala Khan x reader
warnings: avengers game spoilers, guns
a/n: so excited about this one; i made y/n just a bit older (and gn!) so that they’re in their mid-early teens during a-day! hope thats okie doke! reader has electrokinesis. this accidentally got really detailed
prompt: anonymous: “Hey there! Would you mind writing HCs for the Avengers Game about female reader being a young Avenger (around 17) and mentoring Kamala Khan?”
you were just a kid yourself when you joined the avengers
and you were an inspiration to kids around the world
“does SHIELD think nothing of child labor laws?” -bruce
the avengers became your family
and seeing what you could do...they knew you could handle yourself
and then a-day happened
the day started off so perfect
and the kids went ballistic over seeing you
“y/h/n! look, it’s y/h/n!”
“can i get a picture?”
“hi, guys! of course you can!”
but there was one kid who stuck out among the rest
kamala khan
“you’re the one who wrote about the sewers, right? i freaking loved it! may i just say your art is amazing?”
“r-really?”
“oh, yeah! and the part where you had thor spin mjölnir to push water towards the sewer lizards so i could shock them? genius!”
she could not wait to tell abu about what you had just said
you obviously took a selfie with her and handed her a little pin with your own “icon” on it
but your world got turned upside down that day
the battle was one you’d never forget
and the fighting with your own teammates afterwards would haunt you for years to come
“what do you know, y/n?! you’re just a kid!” -tony
“oh yeah? im one of the only functioning members of this team!”
“everybody calm down. y/n makes a good point, but—” -nat
“thank you”
“...but there’s some stuff you should leave up to us. you really shouldn’t have to take on so much responsibility” -nat
“she’s right, y/n. this was our fault” -bruce
“are you kidding me?! i’m just as guilty as the rest of you, i’m an equal member of this team! for years we’ve dealt with this together, taken the blame together! what’s changed?”
“y/n...you saw what we did out there. that changed everything...” -bruce
you technically were an inhuman, just not terrigen-based
didnt matter to AIM, they took dr. pym for god’s sake
so you had to run, you were on your own for a while
a long while
you laid low for five years, most boring five years of your life
at least you still had your life, though. it just wasn’t what it used to be
but you got a message one day
“‘tiny dancer,’ huh? my moneys on either nat or tony. nah, tony would have chosen ‘rocket man.’”
you couldn’t be sure, maybe it was just a random shield agent...maybe hank pym? god, this was crazy
the message brought you to, uh, cap’s memorial statue
and there was a young girl arguing with a couple of boys...an inhuman!
you hopped in and saved her, she seemed scared
“hey, kid, you alright?”
“y/h/n? is it really you?”
she seemed vaguely familiar
“are you tiny dancer?”
“no, i thought you might be? they sent you here, too?”
there wasn’t much time to chat, AIM was onto you
you two unfortunately got split up for a minute, but you were practically raised by the notorious clint barton and natasha romanoff, and various other spies
yes, you planted a tracker on her
and met her at the bus stop!
“you found me?”
“that i did, kamala. see, i do remember you”
“that is so cool! i mean—not almost getting killed, or the guy with the big head...”
“what guy? you need to tell me everything”
the whole busride was a bit overwhelming. kamala explained the resistance clues, her powers, her undying admiration for the avengers, you name it
but it made you feel good to know that there were people out there that didn’t hate you
“so what was it like? being the teenage avenger?”
“uh, it was...it was really cool. i felt like i was one-of-a-kind. but sometimes people didn’t take me seriously, it was kind of aggravating”
“yeah, no one takes me seriously either...”
“you know, depending on how this all goes, i might be able to give you a few pointers”
“really?! that’d be great!”
once you got to utah...you saw the chimera
it brought back some bad memories, kamala could tell
“you okay?”
“me? yeah, im good. just thinking...okay, well, do you have a plan on how to get yourself across all of this?”
“actually, i do!”
it was kind of creepy in there, but when you laid your eyes on caps shield, you kind of broke
“do you hear something, what it that?”
“...hulk. kamala, you need to get out of here, i’ll catch up to you, i swear”
she didn’t leave in time, so she got to see the greener side of bruce. you chased him back and tried to get bruce back
meanwhile, kamala found AIM troops...oops
bruce cooled off and man was he doing rough
“y/n, is that really you?”
“yeah, its me. surprise. how long have you been the big guy?”
“too long...a few years”
“jesus, im sorry. i’ll be right back, though. some kid brought me here, i gotta go get her. you kinda scared her off”
she was passed out when you got to her
but bruce is a doctor, he’d figure it out
“i could give her a little shock to wake her up, you know?”
“oh, i know. just let her rest for a minute. she needs it”
“right...well im gonna take a look around, maybe go see what i left behind. i could power the place up, but we’re missing some parts to actually get this thing running. best i can do is lights and doors”
you turned the little things on and turns out did leave a decent amount of stuff in here
your first pair of pistols that nat gave you, the gigantic stein that thor gifted you for your 13th birthday, gadgets tony needed an “extra boost” for *bzzt*, a note from cap that just said “good luck, y/n, you’re going to do great!” you cant even remember what it was he was referring to. you just missed him
kamala walked in while you were shuffling around and cleaning the place up
“hey, dr. banner wanted me to come get you. is this your room?”
“that it is, and it’s a huge mess. this is literally all my belongings ever”
bruce had his plan and you just went along, helping kamala out as you go
“baby steps, kam, don’t want you to pass out. but don’t worry, happens to the best of us” -you
“really? you pass out too?” -kamala
“oh yeah, for sure. tell her bruce, remember that time we had thor overcharge me to literally make me an EMP? and tony was busy listening to music so he wouldn’t get out of the blast radius and his armor shut down? so he was out of commission and i had just collapsed from it all? good times”
“y/n, we thought you died” -bruce
this hc is so long omg — anyways you guys ended up finding tony and it was sort of entertaining but he kinda punched bruce and then hugged you
“you got so big”
“shut up, tony”
you kinda harbored some bad feelings since none of the avengers did anything to help you once they started rounding up inhumans (but you still missed them)
getting attacked again
“okay, kamala, remember what i said about baby steps. dont overdo it. i trust you with this!”
“thank you, y/n! uh—oh my god!”
aaaanyways you went to the ant hill to see hank and pick up some supplies, boy was it great to see some familiar faces, then back the the chimera you went to fix it all up
“can you hold that right there for me, kamala? thanks. i think that just about does it. now i have a surprise for you...your own room!”
you helped kamala get it nice and tidy while talking about each other’s lives, she really did remind you of yourself when you became an avenger. excited, scared, underestimated, all of that. and she begged you to share some mission stories, so you obviously did
“you know, if you stick around for a while, you’re gonna have some cool stories, too. maybe even a kickass costume.”
“oh! a costume, ive got that sorta covered. check it out. a burkini, muslim women wear it for swimming and stuff. my mom got it for me”
“love it. soon we’ll find you a fitting name and update the suit, but seriously, this was the perfect way to go. you look great”
“you think so? i don’t know if i feel that cool. maybe i should try something else?”
“if that’s how you feel, you don’t have to stick to it. you can experiment all you want! but i really think you did awesome on this. come on, pose with me! and hey, i like your pins.”
at this point, you’d do anything for kamala, she reminded you so much of yourself. you would have killed for a mentor your age back in the day.
natasha was in fact tiny dancer...called it
“oh, god, y/n. you’re all grown up...im sorry we left you alone. but if it makes you feel better, i always kept an eye on you”
“well, i kind of took on a protégé...she’s like your grand-protégé. kam, c’mere”
after thor finally came back, everyone started fighting again and ditched, it felt so familiar. but you couldn’t leave kamala behind, you swore to yourself that you couldn’t do that.
she was so good for this team
MODOK was defeated (by kamala herself) but there was so much left to do, tons of threats to extinguish, training to accomplish
“y/n, tony won’t turn his dad rock off! he overrode the speakers in my room”
“oh, it’s on. get chastity’s fabric dye and bleach pens. we’re gonna start some trouble”
she gave you a high five one time and nearly broke your arm
sending each other tiny hand memes
“hey, ms. m, how’re your parents? doing okay without their favorite super-daughter?”
“my abu doesn’t stop texting me actually, says my family is super proud of me. it’s a nice change of pace”
you take her on covert missions for field training, it was Educational(tm)
*elevator music playing* “so...what do you want for dinner? i was thinking we could ask thor to barbecue”
sleepovers in her room that just turn into her showing you her superhero merch, listening to music, prank lists, sneaking off to the HARM room for hand-to-hand combat training and power experiments, thinking up new costume designs
“tip: you always need backup suits, you never know what you’re gonna run into out there. one time tony pushed me into a tower of paint cans and they spilled all over me. steve yelled at him for two hours afterwards. worst mission ever, except steve said ‘motherfucker’ and i have never recovered from the emotions of that day”
“wow, i wish i could have been there for that”
“don’t worry, kami, you’ll see some crazy ‘team bonding’ along the way”
she geeks out about captain marvel sometimes
“hey, i’ve got a book carol gave to me about ‘teens taking responsibility.’ you wanna read it?”
“is it any good?”
“i don’t know, i only read the first two pages”
you ended up having a true heart-to-heart with her after one mission when she made a mistake that nearly cost you guys the mission. you told her that not every mission is going to go perfect, each avenger had slipped up in the field, and she had just started, shes not going to be perfect
“i am literally always here if you need anything. i know what it feels like to be a teenager among legends, but trust me, you’ve made it this far and you’ve proven how much of a badass you are. i know you can take anything that gets thrown at you”
kamala said she makes vegan nachos and yeah she makes vegan nachos
you guys have to hide from the rest of the team when she makes them bc they eat ALL OF THEM
gaff (the SHEILD vendor) has you test his gear, you recommend gear to kamala
you were so excited to guide kamala on her journey of heroism
taglist: @ravenmoore14 // @purpleskiesstorm //

━♡ guess the 23 YEAR OLD FEBRUARY baby just arrived to dallyeog! it makes sense, because CHU EUNHA is just as BEDAZZLING as the month of FEBRUARY. wait, why do they remind me of JACOB BAE? beyond that, they seemed JOYOUS and SAVVY upon first glance. i heard someone say they’re sort of DELICATE and QUIXOTIC though. i hope they get acquainted here in COMPLEX 1 / APARTMENT 0215 / FLOOR 3 ; HE seem(s) to have a lot going on with HIS job as a PATISSERIE OWNER/NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE STUDENT. ( ez, 21, she/they, gmt. )
well hey there !! im ez but you fellow dallyeogers can call me ezzy, i have been in dallyeog before so some may remember me as having someone v different to my new bb i bring u now, i joined before with miss tam carmen !! anygays i return with this lil angel who i am all ‘ i say that’s my baby and i’m proud ’ over already even tho i literally came up with him like two days ago. you can find his pinboard here ( which btw i fuckeN love like he’s so aesthetic to me u go king ) and i made him a lil playlist which u can vibe to here. you can learn more about him under the cut but he’s a super soft-hearted gentle dove of a muse and quite...simple for me ?? sdhdh that’s not the right wording but U GET IT djjflg he isn’t super full of angst or trauma he’s just kinda viBIN livin his best life so that’s fun !! but ye without further ado:
so as u kno from his app he owns a patisserie, it’s his lil babey and he is very dedicated to his craft and makin sure all his ideas for the place and the baked goods he sells are like rlly quirky and avant-garde. like he is so passionate about it u dont even KNOW, he tries to make sure most of the stuff on his menu is something like fun and new u wouldn’t get at just any old patisserie or cafe and that it’s super varied and also kinda aesthetic af? the place is very like trendy. it’s called patisserie d’elysian cause ya know he’s an extra biTCHH and proud.
he has three pupperino’s. all as adorable as each other, snickerdoodle is his golden lab and often ppl shorten it down to snickers, butterscotch is his dapple daschund pup, shortens the name to scotchie often. toulouse is his fancy toy poodle boi, shortens the name down as toto. if u are on the shortened name basis with his pups then u can consider urself one of his close pals.
he’s actually adopted by his aunt but she raised him like she was his mother so that is what he considers her, she’s on his mother’s side but they are half-siblings. in terms of first name reasoning as well she just liked eunha as a name and didn’t even think about how it is traditionally for a female, she liked that it meant gift from heaven so it stuck. his father is still around, he’s just quite elderly so it felt like a better living situation for him to be raised primarily by his auntie. unfortunately his mother has passed on but no tragic story, she just went peacefully in old age.
he dyes his hair quite often, it’s currently like a really pastel blue with black streaks consistently throughout like lil ones so it looks super cool. but he’s also had it be a more electric blue, lilac, and a duck egg kinda faded silvery blue. it’s naturally dark brunette. has brown eyes kind of a hazel hue.
his style is kinda androgynous ig?? he just lives for soft retro fashion, lots of color in his wardrobe but also lots of tapered short and t-shirt fits frequented, sweater vests, rolled up jeans, high skater boi socks, soft jumpers with shirts, shirts in bright colours or satiny texture worn over plain white t-shirts, cardigans, pastel denim jackets, jeans with printed patterns on like clouds, flowers etc, favors yellow and blues. sometimes does eye makeup, occasionally wears heels bc he’s a baddie or super heeled boots/chunky shoes.
obsessed with music, can play violin and guitar. he’s a big mitski and rina sawayama fanatic, likes anything that sounds peaceful or calming or has like a good fun vibe to it. also likes the trademark gay icons like carly rae jepsen, lorde, etc. he’s not ashamed. obsessed with mamma mia movies. but also likes rap which is rlly funny cause its like the bad bitch female rappers only and like he’ll listen to it while arranging his sock drawer or making his bed or something ajdjdj it’s like hype anthems for being a baddie and a hoe and he’s just doing his night sleepy routine adkfkf.
showers, blankets, music, baked goods especially bagels are his happy places.
very much a sensitive lil romanticist, falls in ‘love’ like five times a day, he just likes to giggle and smile around pretty people and admire the artwork hnghdh, he’s like yeARNS though ya know?? like he’s all i will flirt by making prolonged eye contact, i made you a playlist, this song makes me think of you etc. it’s either memes as flirting with him or elaborate love letters u never know what ur gonna get akdkd.
awful sense of humour, loves his friends more than anything on earth except his pups, would fully live in a huge house of just like his pups and all his closest buds for all eternity. likes fruits way too much, enjoys puns about fruits way too much. milkshakes, sushi, orange hues and bus rides are some of his absolute favorite simple pleasures of life. clouds, flowers, salt lamps, the sunrise over the sea, skateboarding, fresh soda, teddy bears, busy street markets, parasols, fish tanks with exotic fish, sorbet, bike riding, polaroids, record players, rain at night against floor to ceiling windows with a fresh steaming pot of tea on the desk beside it and warm fresh sheets from the laundry on his bed, ponds, skateboarding. all little joys in life that give him like the biggest pleasure dopamine hit in the world.
his cousin actually owns a florists so he has flowers just littering his apartment like a lot and it just looks like he has ten million suitors from the late eighteenth century attempting to court him but no all these flowers are from him to him or worse from his aunt djfjg she sends him some for valentines every valentines, pls help him, pls send him flowers.
studies nutritional science and he fucken hates it. do not ask him shit cause he doesn’t KNOW OKAY? he doesn’t understand it either. he took it because he needed something to go alongside the passion for baking that was a real ‘qualification’/job so that is the only reason he’s doing it. no point doing a baking degree after all when he’s already a baker with a business, he’s super young still he gotta keep his prospects open. so YAH. he’d rather be doing culinary arts but eh. nutritional science sounded better and more logic based. the real miracle is he still gets top grades all the time even tho he spends his life like wtf am i even doing is this even legit akdkdk. school is the worst thing in the world for him watch his mood instantly deflate the second its brought up.
despite being a quixotic, he’s a lil afraid of intimacy. like oh god does he love it, those small touches and acts of affection u kno? the subtle things that normally go unnoticed, eye contact, brushing of hands, linking of little fingers, rubbing a thumb, kissing eyelids or foreheads or palms or shoulders in little gentle pecks, back massages and rubs or finger tracing patterns absent-minded, shoulder massages, laying your head on someone’s shoulder or on their lap, knocking knees together, exchanging a small glance only the two of you get before bursting into laughter, smiling into kisses, napping together, having blankets placed over you warm and fresh, or towels put ready like it, someone making you something they know you like a lot. that’s his sHIT. but like he’s terrified still, someone skimming their fingers on his skin makes his breath hitch like he’s a scandalized and alarmingly aroused victorian woman sjdjd. he’s literally still a virgin, he hasn’t even had his first kiss okay my baby is delicate be gentle with him akdkd but he still LIKES PASSION AIGHT kfkf.
real soft spoken, honey tinted voice like i shit u not this boy talks like he’s an angel sent from heavens above to guide you to the paradisaical garden of eden or some shit akdkd. ur gonna fall in love with eunha’s voice before u even fall in love with any other part of him like his adorable beaming smile or stunning eyes akdkf.
has dance parties around his room when getting ready in the morning, listens to bella’s lullaby unironically yes from twilight yes u heard right, bit of a himbo streak sometimes in his obliviousness djfjf. quite silently subtly funny actually much like jacob himself.
he is gay, afraid of driving, cannot do math, blanks out often and he is valid for all of those things. has a collection of cartoon and disney animal movie dvds. has a dream notebook. always has blue painted nails in some kinda shade.
does not enjoy turning in assignments bc he is scared he’ll fail, avoids looking at his grades for weeks after they’re released and hates knowing that they’re out.
cannot dance, dances often. collects vintage stuff esp clothes and mostly sweaters. likes midnight trips to corner stores and fields where he can just lay and look at the stars. makes friends rlly easily but has super bad performance anxiety. cannot ever have a messy room like even the tiniest bit messy. even like clothes being stacked on a chair instead of away.
bakes peanut butter, banana and choc chip muffins (they r called monkey bites normally) whenever he’s super stressed. if u want to cheer him up when he’s anxious or stressed then u should give him french lavender honey, chia seeds and caramelized pear on toast/bagel. it is his comfort food. he fancii when he needs a pick me up. treat urself and all that.
#dallyeog:intro#i'm literally in love with him he's the softest most goodest boi muse i have ever made and i just#im that meme of the samari sword guy with the cat in his arms akfkfk#IVE ONLY HAD EUNHA FOR TWO DAYS BUT IF ANYONE HURTS HIM I WILL KILL THEM AND THEN MYSELF AKKDK

My Personal Hitchcock Countdown, Part Three!
Continuing my countdown of all the Hitchcock movies I’ve seen, from “worst” to best! This is all my personal opinion! :)
10. Rebecca
Yet another movie that I haven’t seen in years. I feel like of all the movies like this (where I haven’t watched it in a while), this could be the most likely to change spots once I watch it again. Another gorgeous B&W movie, with great use of shadows and light and beautiful cinematography. Judith Anderson is iconic as Mrs. Danvers...so it was understandable when the new version of the story was announced, everyone was clamoring over and wondering about the casting of Mrs. Danvers...commenting that no one could play her as well as Anderson, and I kind of have to agree. Obviously, I have not seen the new one yet, but Kristin Scott Thomas has some very big shoes to fill.
9. The Man Who Knew Too Much
A Hitchcock remake! He made the original in 1938 and remade it in 1955...he always said that the first one was made by an amateur and the second one by a professional. While I don’t know if that is true, since I haven’t seen the first one (yet), I’ve always found this film enjoyable. The Albert Hall sequence in this movie is brilliant. I love the fact that he wanted a completely wordless sequence to build tension, and damn does he do a good job. I think Doris Day is excellent, and this movie (along with Midnight Lace) prove that she was more than just the sweet, girl next door type and could excel in dramatic roles as well as the more light-hearted comedies. I do like the use of humor in this one, like when Jimmy Stewart tries to fit his long legs around the low table in Marrakesh, or that final line when they tell their friends that they were sorry to keep them waiting, but they needed to go pick up Hank. Speaking of Hank, he was probably one of the lower points for me. He just seems too much like the overly precocious 1950′s kid (which I’m sure is what they wanted at the time), but it hasn’t aged as well. It seems like it might have been written for a younger kid, like a six year old, but then they cast a ten year old instead. But he’s not in the movie that much, so it’s not a huge issue.
8. Spellbound
This seems like the type of movie that will grow on me with each re-watch. There are some really interesting ideas in this one....I like the idea of using analysis (especially compared to Marnie, which I mentioned in an earlier post). I think Ingrid Bergman was such an extraordinary actress, I have never seen her give a bad performance yet. I like the sort of no-nonsense attitude her character has at the beginning...very left-brain, analytical and smart. The Salvidor Dali dream sequence was visually very exciting, and I found myself trying to interpret the dream along with the others. I do feel like the first ending (on the ski slope) wrapped things up a bit too easily, with John declaring exactly what his complex stemmed from...though I was not expecting the shot of his brother hitting the fence, holy shit. I’ll be interested to see how I feel about this one when I watch it again!
7. Strangers on a Train
When I started this, I had no idea that this one would end up so high on the list! But I thoroughly enjoyed watching this one for the second time this past summer. I think when I first watched it, a lot of the subtleties went over my head. But first things first, Robert Walker is absolute perfection in this movie. A fantastic villain who is legit creepy. And I had only seen him as the doofy love interest in Since you Went Away, so this movie really showed off his range. The premise is really cool, the idea of two strangers committing each others murders and how Farley Granger’s character gets roped in by this manipulative man. The final scene on the carousel is also very thrilling, and a nice showcase for practical effects.
6. Rear Window
I think this was the first Hitchcock movie I ever saw. I was in the seventh grade and we watched in English class. Why? I have no idea. But this was my gateway into his films, and I haven’t looked back! :) Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly have fantastic chemistry as a couple who are trying to find out if his neighbor committed a murder. And I love Thelma Ritter as Stella! She steals every single scene she’s in, sometimes with just a single line. And this just reminds me of a style of filmmaking that just doesn’t happen anymore. All of these sets were real...they built an actual apartment complex, some of the neighbors’ homes had working electricity and water and could actually be lived in. It just lends to the authenticity and it feels like a real neighborhood. And I kind of like that this movie’s villain isn’t some kind of mastermind...you get the impression that he is in over his head.

What’s wrong? (Tj Hammond) (Pt.1)
Characters: Bi!TJ Hammond x Asian!Female!Reader
Summary: You're an overseas worker and is in a relationship with TJ, but people can't seem to accept the differences between you both even by financially and background wise.
Warning: Kisses. Public making out. Mention of threesome but no lemon. Lmao. HOT, SEXY GIF'S which can make your phone fly. No angst yet. Annoying racist journalist. Mention of doing the birds and the bees but it wasn't written. Heehee!
Words: 4000+ (IT'S LONG AF. 😂 There’s a part 2 which will be posted soon if ya want?)
A/N: I always tend to write long ass oneshots for TJ Hammond. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Because maybe I'm the only one enjoying this? Lmao. GO BE CRAZY WITH YOUR FEEDBACKS, TATER TOTS! IT’S TIME FOR SOME ASIAN FEMALE READERS!
Disclaimer: GIF'S and pictures used are not mine. Only the edits are and the oneshot of course. 😉 Credits to the owners of the GIFS.
"They're not gonna accept me, Teej." Your heart sank from the moment those words came out of your lips, it was like a curse that made your heart feel heavier with every beat. Those were just the mere, honest truth that was inevitable to come out.
You didn't want to beat behind the bush. From the moment TJ asked you to be his partner for the engagement party that was soon to happen for Douglas and Annie, the anxiety crept up your heart, jumping towards your head that made you speak the honest truth.
You knew deep down that your ethnicity and your background was making it difficult for you, for the both of you and for everyone.
TJ immediately sensed the disheartened change in your voice as he was mindlessly trying to help chop the vegetables needed, standing in front of the kitchen island. On the other hand, you were preparing the beef for the Stir fried noodles you opted to make, in request to the whiny Hammond boy living in yours and his apartment.
You felt gentle arms snake around your waist and instantly you knew whose arms were that from. Tj leaned down, his head beside yours as he adjusted to your five foot one height. You felt his lip on your cheek, peppering soft kisses till he reached your ear. "Am I hearing you right? Was that a whine I heard? As far as I know, I'm the whiny boyfriend here," Tj whispered and chuckled, feeling his hot breath fanning against your ear made you quietly gush in his arms.
"Thomas! Stop, You know I got the tickles there!"
Tj felt the need to be playful, in account to your saddened state. He continued blowing at your ear, "Oh, so now I'm only Thomas to you?" Chuckles and giggles rang around your apartment. Joyful laughters that was perfect to record and watch at any time of the day. Tj haven't been that happy since his recent breakup. From a political fool who he thought had loved him, but end up abusing and using the love he has been giving in the end.
Despite of his crestfallen, past relationship, you suddenly came along. He was utterly depressed and went back to being a druggie. After months have passed of being clean, the addiction came along after the heartbreak. Yet, it was stopped once again from the moment you came along. Basically, you were the rainbow after his rain and he ought to see the light from you forever glowing.
"Hey, hey," Tj pulled you away from your wandering, negative thoughts. Never forgetting to give your head a kiss, feeling the warmth spreading all over your body, "You gotta stop being a pessimist," He cocked his head, an eyebrow rising as he collected his thoughts, "Just..relax, everything's going to be fine I swear,"
You turned the gas range off, sighing and whipping around once you did, meeting a very soft, sweet looking Hammond boy whose eyes were the prettiest out of all the blues out there. Your lip was now in between your teeth, biting the flesh from overthinking what was bound to happen soon. "You always say that, and I'd rather expect the worst, Teej because you're in a relationship with me."
"What's wrong being in a relationship with you? I don't find anything wrong about it," He sassily shrugged, caressing your hip with his thumbs in utmost tenderness, "Anne's Asian, from a different ethnicity but they don't get to say their complaints or problems about it, Y/N."
You bit your lip harder, eyebrows furrowing from thinking too deep, "Anne's from a wealthy family, Tj. And I'm...I'm..from trash,"
"Which I was lucky to find because I have rummaged a diamond in the dumps," He chuckled, his laugh sounding angelic to you. You fought off a smile, the anxiety was still swallowing you whole, making everything more complicated for you. "It's not funny, you're just making my anxiety worse,"
Tj had to put more effort in distracting you, and so he tried harder. "Come on, Baby. Lighten up, nothing's gonna happen, it's going to be a boring day for us because the party was probably a way to bring those stormtroopers all together," He licked his lips, looking at you straight in the eyes with such shine that could make your heart go all putty. "Just be my plus one, be the good girl you are while we suffer this together, Deal?"
"I dunno, Teej. What do I get in return upon agreeing to this so called...deal of yours?" You purred, tracing the outline of his pectorials bulging out of his tight black shirt. A lopsided smile on your lips.
"Hmm," Tj playfully hummed, his head falling till he reached your ear, never forgetting to give it a tender bite, "Maybe some steamy shower with me, I suppose?" The naughty Hammond boy suggested with a tiny chuckle, his voice dropping an octave lower, even with a suggestive tone that reached down inside your pantaloons, making you squirm in his grasp. "That is..if you're up to it?"
"But--how about the food--" You stammered, finding it hard to say no.
"We could always start with the dessert first, Love." and you certainly didn't object after that.
✧˖*✧˖*✧˖*✧˖*✧˖*
Tons of people with class that were worth a million dollars came lounging in. Small talks, and fake hi's were their main objective. Wealthy, power hunger crocodiles seem to sound appropriate for their understandable behaviors. Other people appeared to enjoy communicating with anyone whom they can see as wealthy and famous, making them look like a total gold digger or a social climber who likes to be friends with people whom are high-class.
Everything that was happening around you was making you shake your head in animosity. Another set of anxiety creeping you in. How did you even end up in Tj's home when everybody had given you the stink eye, jealous, thirsty women scanning your appearance and history from head to foot if that was even possible.
They were probably wondering how Tj was in a relationship with a substandard woman like you who lived in the eastern part of the world. Well, Sexuality-wise..They were certainly stunned to see the former first son gay icon renegade turned miraculously bisexual, acting all touchy-feely and having thoughts inside their judgemental minds as to why he kept staring at you, looking all lovestruck and whipped.
"Y/N!!! Sweetheart!" You jumped from the huge, beige couch as you lounged beside your boyfriend. A half empty Martini in hand. You could see Margareth, Tj's grandmother marching your way. Her hips swaying with her heels. Her smile never fading once she saw how you still kept your relationship with her complicated grand son, Thomas.
"Tj's keeping you all to himself! This kid can be selfish when he wants to," Margareth complained, her voice shaky and senile but a little bit too hyper for her age. She never forgot to playfully smack her grand son's head, "Aw! Nana!" Tj complained with a sweet smile drawn on his face. A smile that Margareth remembered when he was still a child back in the white house.
Finally, she thought. It was time she got her grand son back.
"Hey, Nana!" You chimed, a huge grin plastered on your face. Truthfully delighted to see somebody whom gave your heart that warm, familiar feeling. Margareth grabbed you in a hug once you stood up to hug her. Yet, you were too slow to be first. "Y/N," She murmured as she cut the hug. Staring right back at you with a sweet smile while she reached for your face. "I'm really happy you keep my grand son in check and completely elated like who he was back then," Nana muttered, taking glances back at Tj who was busy chatting with one of Elaine's friend.
"Please, don't leave him like how that asshole did, Y/N. I don't know what he'll do next when you do, sweetheart."
"I don't plan to, Nana." You gave a crooked smile, adding a giggle on the end. Your words repeating inside your mind like a mantra. Did you really not thought about that? Margareth smiled, lightly tapping your right cheek with a laugh. "Good," She grabbed another Margarita from one of the waiters who were strolling around, promptly sipping on it. "You're perfect for this family,"
You fit in the family. But, that was in Nana's humble perspective. What about Dougie? Elaine? Especially Bud's point of view? Do they accept you though?
The party went on. It wasn't late yet, though as the time went on, more familiar people came in and began to join in the party. As an awkward human being, you stood on the middle of the floor. All alone sipping on your second Martini. Tj asked you to give him a minute because he had to talk to someone and probably get something in God knows where. You immediately gave your approval, giving him a sweet, innocent, tiny kiss on the lips before practically shoving him away before it took much more than you intended to.
Loud chatters can be heard, controversial topics that reached your ear made you want to raise a brow because of their judgemental thoughts that should be kept locked inside their poisonous minds. 'You sure they ain't putting up an act to cover Tj's real sexuality?' 'I bet he's using her,' 'Or probably it's the other way around, girl.'
'She seems like a lonely bitch,'
You crossed your arms against your chest, the anger bubbling up till it reached your head. Giving you a minor, temporary headache. In your peripheral vision, you could see Tj from the bar, talking to Nana and her circle of friends, with a precious smile on his gorgeous face. It was all glitters and rainbows in his part.
On the other hand, yours were full of shit. You cussed inside the back of your mind. The thick-faced women giggled and they were quite close to you. They probably intended to let you hear their conversation, to stir you up and mess with your temper. Especially that journalists and reporters were around, waiting for something to happen so they could add it in their drafts.
You ignored them the best you can. Nonetheless, there was always one person who'll irk you and even try to stir up the kindness in you that could change into rage. You sipped on your cocktail drink while staring at the piano in curiosity. Does Tj know how to play? You mindlessly thought inside your mind. Oh, you were about to know and ask him about it. There was a lingering warm presence behind you, and you instantly smiled from ear to ear. Speak of the devil..
However, to your surprise a woman with blue eyes stood tall in front of you. Appearing to have this sense of pride that she was one successful woman. You could tell from head to toe and it made you feel so tiny and unworthy that you were welcomed to join in the party.
"Will you be so kind to answer these questions that I have for you? Ms..??" The lady humbly asked, an innocent smile that hid behind a wicked scheme she had in mind. You couldn't even believe her. How can she ask for an interview from a person whom she doesn't know his/her name?
What a fool indeed.
"Y/N." You kept a short answer, a tight smile on show as you sighed out loud which made the reporter raise a brow from your dissatisfaction. How dare you act annoyed when you should feel delighted to be interviewed even though you were one substandard woman whom Thomas Hammond obviously made his worst mistake. The woman thought through her fake smile planted on her thick, injected lips.
"So, let's start off with something simpler, Y/N." She paused, acting all modest with the fakest smile you have ever seen. "Tj's??"
If she wanted to appear stupid, then it was best to say the stupidest answers as well. You breathed in deep breaths. Take it with your big girl panties. You can do this. You can. "Supportive wife?" You spoke as a matter of fact. Snorting a little when you saw her jaw tighten.
The brunette woman couldn't help but snicker, sneaking a tiny roll of her eyes. "I don't see a ring," She snapped, laughing to herself and eyeing you from head to toe. "Or a collar?" She smirked when you kept your hands on your sides, fists completely tight, trying hard not to make a scene. No. Never stoop down to her level, Y/N.
"Hmm," She fixed the lapels of her black blazer, "Obviously, you're the girlfriend. I'm not an idiot, Ms. Y/N."
Your nerves was seriously ticking like a time bomb that was ready to explode. "Really? You seem to be a much bigger idiot than me when you asked for my name, but the truth is..I know you knew who I was," You breathed out harshly, not wanting to start and send off rude remarks that could have endless rebuttals. "If I'm an idiot then why do I own a big advertising company..Unlike you," Miss reporter held her head high with her tall height, eyeing you from head to toe again like it was her nasty habit. "I don't work at any Ching-chong restaurants that spits rice, noodles or kimchi's,"
Well, that made you face palm.
"Do you have any more racist comments that could honestly move me? Because that comment sucks so bad," You held a finger under your eye, trying to wipe away imaginary tears. "Cry me a river, woman."
Tj laughed a boisterous one from what grandma Mercedith just said. She was one of Nana's bestest friend and a sweetheart indeed. Margareth noticed that Y/N wasn't with her grandson, and so she questioned.
"Tj, where's Y/N?"
The latter smiled, those smiles that held teeth and was too picturesque not to ogle at. Nana couldn't help but lift her lips too. "Oh, over there." Tj gestured behind him, towards where the party was, never looking back. Margareth glanced where he was pointing to and saw that Y/N is being interrogated by the infamous reporter slash journalist slash owner of an almost bankrupt advertising company who had no good thing to do but make false hypothesis about every issue especially when it was about the Hammond family.
"Tj," Nana started, sounding disturbed. "If I were you, I won't go leaving Y/N in a place full of sharks wanting to munch on a bait," She pointed towards where Y/N and Rosalie Sparks where. They seem to be exchanging heated conversations because she could see how Y/N was keeping herself together. "The Sasquash is on the move, honey."
"What?" Tj turned their backs away from them. A stern frown appeared to be on show for the folks to see. Finally acknowledging what his Nana has been saying and there they were. His girlfriend and an annoying woman who was planning to offend and get something out of his girlfriend. What was new?
"How's it feel to be unaccepted in the Hammond family? Especially that we know Bud doesn't take a liking on you because of how incompetent you are and how pitiable your family is," Rosalie Spark's chatted like what she was saying are compliments that was meant to fill the heart. Though, it was filling it with dread and anger. "Rich people deserve to only be with rich people too," She clucked on her wine glass with her fancy gold ring, grinning in the process. "While the peasants deserve to stay in the dumps,"
You zipped your mouth. Never stoop down. Never. Silence is the best way to talk back because you knew you were educated, matured and old enough to know how immature she was acting.
"I'm honestly disgusted by Tj Hammond's tastes are in women," She continued, more like talking to herself because you weren't speaking. "Or he's probably just confused for the second time and is actually really..reallyyy into men," The bitch exaggerated.
"Because if I'm in a relationship with you or--" She held her mouth, supressing a giggle that made you want to throw a glass at her. "--to be unluckily sleeping with you, I'll just be gay for all my life, Y/N."
You could feel your eyes turning hotter as each second pass by. God, you were such a pathetic baby. Why had you even agreed to go the party? Obviously because Tj begged you to come with him.
Not a second has passed by when you felt a warm presence snake beside you, and it took you long enough to realize that it was finally your Tj by the looks of his black dress shirt and all black attire. An arm moved around you, clutching onto your waist and Tj felt you were shaking. Probably from anger because that's just who you are.
You'd rather stay quiet despite of how people attack you, you'd rather be kind to rude people than to offend them back and that's how Tj knew you were one of a kind. A special one.
Before you knew it, your heart skipped a beat from the moment he held your jaw with his hand. Ushering your face to look at him, and with one dip of his head he had you enthralled in his spell that could calm you down in the sweetest way. Tj kissed you, right in front of that annoying journalist to probably irritate the heck out of her. He locked your lips with his, teasingly lunging the tip of his tongue inside your parted lips as he closed his eyes. Acknowledging the effect you could only give to him.
You couldn't help but envelope your arms around his figure as you kiss him deep, biting on his lower lip that made you both smirk from how she was certainly already uncomfortable. Physical contact makes people feel awkward. Tj preed his eyes open, seeing the woman with a pathetic aggravated face that made him chuckle as you both kiss.
Oh, she wasn't going anywhere is she?
Tj gave her a grin, never forgetting to give your lip a tender bite that made your insides go mushy and another sweet kiss that made your heart twerk. He was yours and yours alone. Only yours.
"Tiger twat," Tj answered so smoothly with that hot smolder as he looked deep into your eyes. Completely enticed by your spirit with an innocent smile written on his face that wasn't too innocent in your line of vision. You could see the grin and irk threatening to be shown on his beautiful features. Here, you thought he was calling you a tiger twat when it was actually sent to the reporter slash journalist who looked guilty because she seemed to be entirely shook.
"Isn't that your nickname in DC?" He finally gave attention to the tall, angry Sasquash who happened to rudely interview you.
"News spread so fast, Rosalie."
Your loving boyfriend grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes that made her pride and dignity shatter like fragile chinawares. "What's it like to have teeth down there?"
"Your girlfriend's a bitch," Her ego was wavering yet that didn't stop her from trying to have the last laugh. Rosalie hardly bit the insides of her cheeks, remembering the awful night when the famous Tj Hammond who was out and wasted in his club and miraculously happened to reject her amazing, stunning self.
Oh, did she had a petty little crush on him so that was why she was acting so hostile towards you.
"No," Tj shook his head, a wicked grin threatening to come out and a lot of nasty sentences that could get her to crumble. "You're the bitchest out of all the bitch, Rosalie." He chuckled, his arm retreating from your waist as you saw him took a step forward till he reached her ear, bending down to whisper whatever he needed to.
"Don't come attacking my woman when you're still salty about that night," Tj harshly whispered on her ear, his voice turning an octave lower but definitely more harsh, breath hot and fanning, making her toes curl with want and hunger. "I remembered it so well," He chuckled, a sinister one. "I remembered how you were trying to get in my pants, yet my gay self didn't happen to find you attractive nor worth to fuck for a threesome,"
"Besides, I wouldn't want my dick to get chewed by that dry, loose, wrinkly, smelly twat, Sparks."
And just like that, she huffed and was in the verge of crying her frustrations out once she stomped her foot as she retreated. Making Tj form a wide smile that could make your insides turn a twist. What did he say that made the woman act like a bratty crybaby?
"Thomas," You started, seeing Tj walk back to you, enveloping his arms around your waist, leaning down to give you another peck on the lips but you were quick to maneuver your head, making him chase your lips with his. "Thomas," You repeated more sternly but quietly this time. He looked like he was a little smashed. Was he? you hoped he hadn't sniffed anything that could dissapoint you. "Nobody has the right to talk to you like that," He shockingly spat out in aggravation, looking deep in thought as he gorgeously stared into your eyes.
"What did you say to her?"
He shook his head, licking his lips as he whispered. "Nothing. It's not important, Sugar." His eyes was now trained on your lips, looking like he wanted to devour it all night. You couldn't help but smile. "Are you drunk?"
Your Tj drank in all of your beautiful features. Seeming to be mesmerized by your soul. "No, I'm not. I promise," He took a breather, caressing your cheek with his thumb. "I just love you too much. I can't stand them treating you that way,"
"Now, kiss me." He hastily puckered, dipping his head down for the third time and you were quick to adorably cover his mouth like the conservative person you are. "Tj, we're in the middle of--"
Tj didn't hide the roll of his eyes, showing you how much of a kill joy you were. "Do you think I give a damn?" He spoke against your palms, sounding muffled. "Y/NNNNNN,"
You internally rolled your eyes. He was such a baby. Your big baby. "Fine,"
He kissed your palms, planting a loud kissy sound that made people glance your way, his eyes turning adorable crescent moons once you dropped your palms off his lips. "I love youuuu," Tj puckered for the fourth time before grabbing your face in his hands. Kissing the daylights out of you in the middle of an engagement party. Apparently, it was Dougie and Anne's party yet it seemed like you were both having the engagement.
SCREAM OUT FEEDBACKS IF YA WANT A PART 2 OF THIS ONE SHOT BECAUSE THIS HASSSS A SECOND PART TO IT!!!!
XOXO,
TATA

"Imagine: you're about to finally get married to the woman you love but instead of being excited you're panicking to your best man"
Inspired by Sick of Losing Soulmates by Dodie
warnings: this was so gross and happy okay i barely ever do this anymore. also there is a lot of dialogue between other characters!
[i do not own the gif above!]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
With your breath caught in your throat and the expensive material of your outfit clinging your back, your were hardly ready to just waltz out there. Ten minutes.
All you had was ten minutes to pull yourself together.
Your eyes were focused on the almost blinding white material of the tent you had gotten ready in. Brooke was staring at you and chewing on one of her manicured nails, even tugging her grey dress down as if she didn't know what to do with her hands. Audrey and you had decided to share bridesmaids, none specific to either of you as you loved all of them. But you did both have a best man to walk you down the isle. Neither of your father's were present, but that was okay. At least Audrey's father had let you eat dinner there once in a while. He was coming around you, Audrey had told you that she was never sure about anything with her father, but she did know he loved you both.
"Stavo will be back in a minute, he was just trying to find Noah to see how Audrey's doing." Brooke sounded slightly unsure and kissed your cheek quickly before running off, probably to find her on and off again boyfriend; your best friend. The funny thing about Stavo and Brooke was that they never seemed to realize how in love they were until they were apart.
One day they would figure it out; you were sure of it.
With Brooke off on a hunt for her boyfriend and Audrey and Noah getting ready not so far from you, you realized how quickly everything had happened. One day you had been pacing outside of a jewelry store and a month later you were bothering Foster.
Noah Foster. You chewed on your lip and let your mind drift to when you had spoken to Foster for the first time about marrying Audrey.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"I have a ring. But you're her best friend, you've been there for everything with her. While you guys faced the murders I wasn't there for her. So I need your blessing, Foster."
"You make it sound like leaving was your choice. I was here because I had to be, Audrey and I have both told you that."
"I should have fought though. I shouldn't have let my father drag me away. He wasn't just worried that I would end up like my brother and he'd lose another kid. He was worried of being blamed for it. He was a coward. And I should have fought to stay."
"Y/N, what if you had of stayed and gotten hurt? What if you had been slaughtered like Will? Did you want to end up like your brother? Because you wouldn't be here today, shaking like I'm about to kick your puppy and asking me if you're allowed to marry Audrey. And just so you know, I've never been more excited for a wedding in my whole life."
"Thank you for being her friend, Foster. Sometimes I wonder if she even deserves a friend like you."
"She does. Well, now at least. She earned it. She just had to kidnap me once or twice and almost have me killed before she realized that."
"Right... Forgot about that actually. She's lucky to have us both I guess. And we're lucky to have her. I can't believe I'm going to finally ask her."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Stack came bounding into the tent and almost had the whole thing crashing down before he steadied himself. You took one look at him and almost cried at the sight of your best friend and a freshly printed comic book in hand. Of course he had a graphic novel or comic with him, when did he not? But one look at the cover told you this was a special one.
"I had to unwrap a gift or two but I found something that will help you out I think. I just finished it last night. I think it's my best work yet."
His voice was soothing and slightly out of breath and you were reminded that Stavo was your Noah. He was the one that always had your back and knew how to help. Ironically, he was also the reason you had met Audrey. He'd warned you off her when you came back to Lakewood for your senior year of high school. Telling you that she wasn't a bad person but she wasn't "girlfriend material". But college came and everyone changed, leading to Stavo and Audrey becoming friends.
"You made me a comic book?" You voice wavered slightly and he seemed to beam at you, clearly pleased that you were no longer panicking.
He gestured for you to read it and you quickly opened the first page after smiling softly at the cover. It was a drawing of you in your wedding attire, holding Audrey's hand. You flipped through the pages and read a story about a disastrous wedding in which nothing was going as planned. Your character wound up running off with Stavo's character in tow and living in a a shack in the woods on the edge of Lakewood forever. Two spinsters making crafts and drawing graphic novels for the rest of their days.
"See? You have to get married today or you'll be stuck with me forever."
You began to laugh uncontrollably and Brooke had to carefully wipe tears from your eyes so your light amount of make up wouldn't smudge. This was why Stavo was your friend, he made you forget your insecurities and fears with a bunch of terrible jokes. He was also the most loyal person you had ever met.
"While that isn't the worst thing in the world, the only person I really want to be stuck with forever is Audrey," you said softly, grabbing Stavo's hand and squeezing tightly. He helped you stand up and stay steady before kissing your forehead. You could do this, especially with your best friend by your side. "Oh, did you ever get to Noah?"
Stavo tugged at the collar of his navy blue suit and looked away. "Yeah, he's just dealing with Audrey."
"Dealing with?" Suddenly you were feeling insanely nervous again, wondering if Audrey was planning on bolting. What if she wouldn't go through with it? Maybe you weren't the only one terrified.
"Relax, she's not going to run. She was freaking out about her hair and so Noah and I grabbed your presents to help distract you."
The wind started to pick up outside and you found yourself walking quicker but begging yourself to slow down. You were terrified of a million things in that moment. What if you went into the barn and Audrey didn't show up? What if the wedding was perfect and you somehow ruined it by stuttering or saying the wrong thing? The two of you were headed for the huge rustic barn that was designed for events like weddings. It was perfect for Audrey and you but suddenly it was looming and daunting all at once.
Stavo stopped walking and grabbed your shoulders, forcing you to meet his gaze. "You can do this. I know you, Y/N. This day has been fated since you and Audrey had that stupid argument about eighties romance movies at your first college party."
You giggled and bit your lip absentmindedly, remembering that dreadful party. Nothing stuck in your mind more than the end of your iconic 'fight'.
You had another argument prepared on how Say Anything was anything but tacky, your mouth open and your eyes holding a furious glint. Audrey had taken your hand, sending a sort of shock through your entire body. Your brow had been furrowed in confusion and Audrey had leaned in slowly, making it hard for you to continue breathing. "This party is pretty gay, any chance you want to get out of here?"
Stavo didn't notice your moment of reminiscing and continued his little speech. "If any couple is ever going to work out, it's you two. If you weren't ready, would you be here now? Look at Brooke and I; just because we aren't married doesn't mean we don't love each other. But if we were ready, we would be."
You felt your head moving up and down in a nod and tried to let his words sink in. He was right, if it wasn't supposed to happen, you wouldn't have let it. Some people spent their lives being married when it wasn't supposed to be, but you knew that you and Audrey would only do it if you meant it.
And you did.
You couldn't imagine a life without her curled up next to you, her bangs constantly covering her gorgeous eyes that seemed to do nothing but adore you and her hand clasped in your's. That was the kind of future you wanted.
All you had to do was take it.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
It was a completely unexplainable experience, watching her walk down the aisle towards you after you yourself had just come stumbling down it. She was far more graceful than you were, Noah's arm wrapped around hers and a goofy grin on his still-childish face. But even through the surprising grace, her entire body was illuminated with a halo of fear mixed with excitement. Any fear of her running away was dismissed as you watched her.
Her black suit was trimmed and fit perfectly on her body, hugging her curves like a glove and sending a small rush down your spine. Just because it wasn't the time didn't mean you wouldn't take a second to appreciate how gorgeous she was.
How had you ever gotten so lucky?
Your mind seemed to numb when she was finally right in front of you. It really did feel like just the two of you there at that moment, as if no one was watching the two of you as closely as they were. How was it possible that everything could melt away like that? All you could feel was a bundle of nerves in your stomach and the weight of Audrey's gaze.
For a moment everything was silent, the wedding officiate taking a moment to start the official wedding. In a moment you would be saying your vows and finally marrying the woman you loved more than anyone in the world.
But for a split second, you were just a stunning, but nervous, wreck of young adult, standing across from a girl and completely open to the future.
Audrey surprised you by taking both of your hands in hers and leaning in closely. It seemed like she was going in for a kiss, her lips parted, until she cracked a small smile. Her eyes were practically glowing and you swore that she had never looked happier. You worried about how you looked. Did you looked too nervous, too sweaty, too unsure?
"Hey, this wedding is pretty gay. Any chance you want to get out of here?" she whispered with a glint of amusement in her eyes.
You pursed your lips and did everything in your power not to laugh and break the silence in the barn. With close to hundreds of eyes on you, you weren't confident in your ability to recover from any embarrassment.
"Oh gosh, are they here for a gay wedding? What if they find out we're just here for the champagne?" you responded in a hushed voice. Audrey grinned and her hands gripped yours even tighter. She was stopping your hands from shaking and warming them at the same time, giving you something else to focus on. She knew you too well.
"I guess we'll have to be pretty convincing."
Before the wedding had even officially began, Audrey lips were against yours and the entire world was void of anything but the two of you. There was no one watching, no one waiting for declarations of love or perfect hallmark card material.
There was just the soft tug of her lips and a subtle taste of cherry candy and your favourite mint gum.
Reality came crashing back when she gently pulled away and you had never felt more ready for anything in your life. This was it. You were going to finally commit to someone for the rest of your life in front of everyone else the two of you loved and appreciated. It was thrilling and scary and beautiful all at once.
Your ears finally caught the joyful sound of clapping at the surprise kiss and before glancing at the crowd of friends and family, you leaned back into Audrey one more time.
"That kiss was pretty gay, think we might stay for a while?"
"Always," she whispered back.
