Celebrity Crush
Pairing: Jenna Ortega x Reader
Requested: Yes/No ~ request @meimei-a
Summary: Y/N has been simping over Jenna for years. What happens when Y/N finally gets noticed by her celebrity crush. (Y/F/M = your favourite movie) ~ Word Count: 2,190 ~ Warnings: swearing
A/N: Hello everyone!! Idk why these keep getting longer and longer but hopefully you guys still like them. Obviously because they are longer they take longer to write but my schedule has loosened so I have more time to write so hopefully the next one will be finished soon <3
Part 1 ~ Part 2
“And here to promote her new movie, the newest star of Hollywood, the amazing, and beautiful, Y/N L/N everybody!!” Jimmy announces with his iconic smile plastered on his face, his hand gesturing towards you as you walk out. Dressed in an extravagant pantsuit and heels, you wave to the audience as you make your way towards your chair. You greet Jimmy as you sit down, taking a moment to take in your first late night show, sat across from Jimmy Fallon, in-front of a large audience, cameras covering you on all angles. Sure you had done press before but this was something else.
Whilst you are undeniably nervous, the excitement of another ‘I made it’ moment overshadows any of your anxiety as you finally face Jimmy as the cheers of the audience diminish. “Welcome Y/N it’s amazing to finally have you on the show. How are you feeling?” he starts with a warm smile, instantly calming your remaining nerves. “Thank you so much for having me. This is definitely a dream of mine so a little nervous.” you explain, earning a nod from Jimmy. “I’m used to being in the audience so it’s still sinking in” you add, gesturing and glancing towards the audience, still unable to grasp the fact that your here.
“Well you have definitely earned it, I mean your incredible.” he commented, earning a chorus of cheers from the audience. A tight lipped smile of appreciation crosses your face as you reply, “Thanks Jimmy thats mean a lot”. “Now… your new movie Y/F/M, am I right in saying its your first lead role in a blockbuster film?” “Yes it is” you reply with a nod. “Now I know they are really strict on what you can say but is there ANYTHING you can tell us.” he asks with genuine curiosity in his eyes.
Despite wanting to go on and on about the movie and reveal every little detail you can, your director says otherwise meaning you can’t say a thing. “I hate to break your heart Jimmy but my lips are glued shut. All I can say is I’m really proud of it” you answer solemnly, giving both Jimmy and the audience a small smile of apology. “It’s annoyingly ironic. Like I have to sell a movie without actually talking about it.” The solemn look on Jimmy’s face is quickly replaced with one of pure elation as he leans back in his chair, letting out his signature laugh, instantly bringing a smile to your face.
He took a minute to settle down before he moved on, “I had a feeling this would happen so I prepared a little game for you” he started with a mischievous look on his face. You matched his energy, playfully glaring at him, “Ok…” you replied with concern earning a chuckle from the audience. “So I had my team go through your twitter and try to find any common topics you talk about” At the mention of your twitter account you could feel your cheeks warm as you realise where he is going with this.
“Oh god…”. Despite having a decent following, you essentially used your twitter as a dumping ground for all of your opinions on films, actors, food, basically everything. Which also meant you tweeted a lot, and I mean a lot, about your celebrity crush. The breathtaking Jenna Ortega. You practically worshipped her. Your initial film reviews of her performances soon turned into you straight up thirsting over her, so much so you had been asked about it before in previous interviews. It was impossible to deny so you would always openly admit your crush, quite passionately if you might add.
“And it would appear there is one VERY prominent subject” he continued, attempting to hold back a chuckle after seeing the mix of concern and acceptance on your face. “Mhm” you hum as you rest your head on your hand, waiting for him to just say it. “Jenna Ortega”. There it was. You closed your eyes attempting to compose yourself as a smile grew on your face just at the mention of her. “So I thought we could take a look at a few of the more recent ones and you could explain them to us all”, he finishes with a look of satisfaction, knowing he had struck gold. “Really trying to expose me aren’t you Jimmy.”, you chuckle as you straighten your posture and face the screen, “Your lucky I’m passionate about this.” you add causing Jimmy and the audience to laugh.
“Ok first one”. A screenshot of a tweet you posted in January 2022, the day that ‘The Fallout’ premiered for streaming, came up on the screen. It read ‘Just watched ‘The Fallout’ for the first time. Jenna Ortega everybody🧎🧎🧎’. You chuckled as you listened to Jimmy read it out to the audience. “I mean it’s pretty self explanatory” you start, reflecting back on that day. “I didn’t get the chance to see it beforehand so I had been waiting for it to come to a streaming service and when it did… OOO Jimmy you have no idea.” you explain whilst the audience bursts out laughing and you just shrug your shoulders. “What can I say. Not only was her performance Oscar worthy but DAMN she looked good doing it.” you fall back in you chair with a massive smile on your face whilst they all cheer and laugh around you.
“Ok ok next one” Jimmy says through his laughter. A new screenshot of a tweet from a week or so later, right after you had seen ‘Scream 5’, appears on the screen reading, “I’m not one for horror, but did I just binge the entirety of the Scream saga to see ‘Scream 5’ with Jenna Ortega? Absolutely. P.S it was so worth it”, Jimmy read it out as you and the audience laughed whilst your hand hid your massive smile. “Lets just say I would do anything to be able to watch her.” you say with a smirk on your face as you try to suppress your giggle. “I actually really don’t like horror that much. I hate jump-scares with a passion. I was also praying the entire time that Jenna’s character didn’t die. That was basically all I cared about.”
“Ok final ones” Jimmy states as he pulls up a tweet from only a few weeks ago from after you binged ‘Wednesday’ is one sitting. “Guys someone explain to me how Jenna played a literal psycho but was still incredibly attractive AND girlfriend material.” Jimmy read as he also pulled up another one from a few days ago, ”These bts photos from Wednesday… Someone take them away from me I need this girl as my girlfriend ASAP” you chuckle as he finishes reading them out. “I mean look I think we can all relate to a show being that much more enjoyable because an actor you love is it in right?” you question, looking at the audience who respond with nods and cheers “Right so when I saw that Jenna was playing Wednesday I legitimately counted down the days until it aired and I watched the entire show in one sitting” you finish with a laugh. “That first tweet was right after I finished it and the second one… I mean guys have you seen those photos how could I not be in love”
Meanwhile…
The Tonight Show was a show that Jenna frequently watched. She had been checking Instagram to see who would be appearing on the show when she stumbled across you. She noticed someone who she instantly found attractive, and their name sounded familiar although she wasn’t sure where from. ‘Y/N L/N…. where do I know you from’ she thought as she googled your name in an attempt to connect the dots. Browsing through your movies and tv shows, nothing seemed to trigger any realisation despite having seen some of them. ‘Weird’
Jenna set her phone aside, sat down on the couch, and took out her TV remote, turning it on and switching the station to start the show. Turning it on just as Jimmy announces you, she watches you walk out and her eyes widen slightly as her cheeks warm ever so slightly. You were gorgeous. She sat there speechless as she watched you smile and wave to the crowd, and she couldn’t help but smile with you as you sat in your chair.
If she was being completely honest with herself, she was entirely distracted by your beauty and hadn’t been listening to a majority of what was said, that was until she noticed you glaring at Jimmy. Snapping out of her trance, she listens to Jimmy explain the ‘game’ he wanted to play with you, something about looking through your twitter. ‘Wait have I seen her on twitter?’ Jenna briefly thought as he continued explaining. Her eyes shot open as she unexpectedly heard her name. ‘Wait what’, her ears immediately perking up, her attention now entirely on Jimmy.
As soon as the first tweet came on screen, Jenna’s mouth dropped open as she was suddenly hit with the realisation of where she had seen you before. She wasn’t one to frequent twitter, but whenever she did she would always notice a large amount of tags and tweets relating to you. The ones she had seen were just her being tagged in the comments of your tweets but she thought nothing of it and just presumed it was the fans messing around. She was obviously mistaken.
As you continued talking about your tweets and your love for her so openly on live tv, her cheeks burned as she sat there on her couch in pure disbelief. “How could I not be in love” is what you had said. That was all she needed to hear before she decided to binge almost all of your previous interviews, and to her surprise, and delight, you mentioned her in almost every one.
‘Holy shit’ she whispered as you wrapped up talking with Jimmy, saying your goodbyes and promoting your movie one last time. As she watched you stand she thought ‘fuck it’ as she reached for her phone, immediately opening instagram and going to her DMs.
Back at the studio…
You had just left the stage and were taking a moment to relax and think about how everything had gone. ‘I really just said that on live TV’ you thought to yourself as you chuckled and headed back to your dressing room to get changed and head home. The first thing you did was change out of your outfit because, despite how beautiful it makes you feel, your one and only real love—aside from Jenna—is an oversized t-shirt and sweatpants. Once you had changed you grabbed your phone off the table and took a glance at your notifications, the number of which multiplied significantly since before the show. ‘Oh wow ok’ you mumbled as you scrolled through them seeing if there were any of significance.
You were about to put your phone down before a DM notification caught your eye, your breath hitching as you read the name. ‘Holy shit no way’. It was from fucking Jenna Ortega. ‘What the actual fuck… oh my god ok’. Deciding to wait until you got home to answer it, so you don’t seem too unbearably desperate, you grabbed your things and walked briskly to your car. As you drive along the quiet streets late at night, your mind is racing as all you can think about is her. ‘Oh my god does that mean she watched the interview?’ ‘I can’t believe she actually knows who I am’ ‘How am I going to respond to this oh god’.
When you finally arrived at your apartment, you hurriedly got out of the car and made it to your floor before you almost crashed through the door with excitement. Not bothering to do anything else, you instantly collapse onto your couch and open you instagram, saying ‘Fuck it’ and opening the DM. “Hey cutie” it started, instantly making you blush. “I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to reach out to you. I would love to get to know you better so I was wondering whether you wanted to maybe get dinner with me sometime this week?? Absolutely no pressure but I would love to meet you in person :)” You sat there speechless for a moment. Jenna Ortega, your celebrity crush, wants to go out with you?!? ‘This is too good to be true’ you thought as your fingers hovered over the keyboard. You eventually decided to just go for it, “Are you asking me out on a date?? ;)” you typed quickly and sent before you could start overthinking it.
You were shocked when it was read in just a few seconds, and you waited eagerly for her reply “How could I not ask such a beautiful girl on a date <3”. Here you were, on what you thought would be a regular day of press, instead being asked to go on a date by your celebrity crush. This was an ‘I made it’ moment on a completely different scale.

anticipation was slowly eating away at jude as he started warming up for what seemed to be the biggest match of his life. sure he was excited to finally play in the world cup for england, there was just constant anxiety clouding his mind.
as jude made his way to the pitch with his teammates. he took a second to scan the crowd for you and his family. you made eye contact with him and a smile slowly crept onto his face. knowing you were watching made him want to play even better.
as the game started you joined in the england crowds iconic chants. the atmosphere was lively and right on the 35’ minute jude scored his first ever goal for england. you jumped up screaming your lungs out with joy, and aggressively shook jobe by the shoulders. jude celebrated with his iconic knee slide and quickly spotted you and his family in the crowd. he flashed a toothy smile while holding up a heart, mouthing a quick “this was for you” before getting tackled by his teammates.
the half time whistle blew leaving england 3 goals ahead of iran. you and his family quickly left your seats to find the boy. walking towards the locker rooms you quickly found him conversing with maguire and pickford. jude caught your eye and excused himself from the conversation.
he embraced you in a tight hug. “ew, get off me you’re so sweaty” you tease playfully as he rolls his eyes, “but i am so proud of you that goal was amazing” you say as you sheepishly smile at him. “thanks, i’m glad you’re here supporting me” he smiled back at you. he pulls you in closer, holding your hand in his. “the jersey is a nice touch” he says smirking and raising a brow slightly. “really?” you let go of his hand and do a slow spin to show him the back. bellingham 22 printed in big blue characters. jude’s eyes light up and his smirk grew bigger. he pulled you in for a hug and whispered in your ear, “never knew you’d look so good with my name on your back.” you felt your cheeks burn up, unable to form a quick witted comeback.
jude swiftly pecked your forehead and you two parted ways. he walked back to the pitch, ecstatic and ready to crush the last half. while you were left replaying the brief moment you two shared.

Stan x reader
(All characters are 18+)
Warning: Smut!!! Oral (m!receiving)
A/N: I appreciate you guys just join in on my feral Stan rambles (also shoutout to @angelicyouth for giving me some inspiration on this!!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ✧˖°.
Today was an extremely important day for Stan, this was going to be his biggest show yet. Crimson Dawn had completely sold out their venue and the guys couldn’t be happier. You were so proud and had been helping them with everything you could, from helping them with outfits to helping with set up.
“You look so good baby” Stan says as he rested his head on your shoulder and his hands wrap around your waist slowly swaying you side to side. You hum happily and run your hand through his bleached hair “Thank you honey, are you ready for me to do your eyeliner?” He nods “Of course I am, you know that’s my favorite part” He winks at you as he walks towards the bed. You laughed and went to grab your makeup bag shuffling through it until you found the eyeliner pencil.
You climb over Stan and straddle his waist wiggling around until you found a comfortable position. “Stop that” He groaned quietly and you smirked “Stop what Stanny?” You asked in an innocent tone “I’m just trying to get comfortable baby” His breath hitched as you teased him again “C-can’t wait for later Y/N?” “I should be the one asking that baby” You chuckled and leaned close to his ear to whisper “I feel you under me” You watched as his face flushed and he rolled his eyes “Just do the makeup, I don’t want to be late tonight” You gave him a cheeky grin and leaned down to do his eyeliner.
It had become sort of a habit for you and Stan to show up a bit late to his shows. I mean how did you think he got his iconic smudged eyeliner look? But tonight was too special to risk so you (sadly) had to wait until the end of the show.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ✧˖°.
The show had been amazing, this was definitely the best concert Crimson Dawn had ever had! You couldn’t be happier for the guys, especially Stan. He’d come so far since the start of the band.
“And now before we go I want to bring up a special guess!” Stan panted out, still being tired from his last song “Everyone can we have a round of applause for the absolute love of my life Y/N!!!” The crowd erupted in cheers as security helped you get up on stage with him. You ran towards him and hugged him tightly “I love you so much baby, thank you for being here and always supporting me” Stan smiled softly at you “I love you too Stan, I couldn’t be happier right now”
You really took a deep breath taking in the moment. Everything was absolutely perfect. The way the lights hit your boyfriends gorgeous face, the glistening of sweat on his face, his reddened cheeks, the way he was still breathing heavily. He looked irresistible, and oh how you needed him.
As soon as everyone began to walk off stage you grabbed Stan by the collar of his leather jacked and pulled him into the nearest room you could find. “You looked so good up there, I thought I was going to burst” you chuckled as before pulling him into a passionate kiss. Stan grabbed onto you waist and pulled you closer making you both groan “Fuck…Imagine how I felt going up there all horny after your little stunt” he chuckled. “Well, let me fix that for you baby” you grinned as you dropped to your knees and began unzipping his jeans. “So hard Stanny, you must have been so uncomfortable in these tight jeans” He nodded, a soft moan leaving his lips as you pulled out his painfully hard cock from his pants.
You started giving his tip soft kitten licks as you relished in the sounds of his quiet groans. “Come on Y/N don’t tease me baby”Stan grabbed your hair and gently began dragging you down on his length. You happily took him into your mouth and moaned around him making his hips unintentionally thrust deeper into you. “Shit…Fuck baby that mouth of yours is magical” He let out low moans as you sunk you head down as far as you could on his cock and made direct eye contact with him. The sight of you practically made him cum on the spot as he desperately bucked his hips into your mouth, the way you groaned around him only making everything more pleasurable. “Oh fuck Y/N!” He grunted before pushing you down on him and cumming hard in your mouth.
He laid against the wall panting as you pulled away and swallowed his load. “You did so good honey” You giggled and kissed him. Stan’s hands roaming around your body before he stopped at the sound of knocking on the door. “Hey you horny bitches I hope you know the mic was still on because that crowd is asking for an encore…and so am I!” Kenny’s voice yelled from the other side. You and Stan stared at each other in disbelief, you two were so distracted you forgot about needing to get the mic removed.
Guess the fans got an extra show.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ✧˖°.

“How does it feel to be in the same movie as your girlfriend, again.”
Harry smiles as he glances at his girlfriend sitting beside him. During interviews he always grew uncomfortable or awkward but the woman sat next to him made his nerves calm.
“Well it was very special to work with Y/N in Eternals, she’s just an amazing actress.” Harry compliments Y/N. “Starring in another movie with her was just as special. She’s one of the most talented people I know.”
Y/N let’s a grin crawl onto her face at Harry complimenting her. She mumbles out a small thank you to him which makes his hand trail up to her thigh and squeeze it. She knew he expressed his love language through touches so she allowed his hand to lay on her leg.
As the next interviewer asks the director a question Harry leans in and whispers in Y/N’s ear.
“You still want gelato, pretty?”

Thank You, Jerry~ Part 6
Luke Patterson x Alive!Reader Series
Summary: After getting an afternoon free from the band, Luke decides to see his parents, only to find out something he wasn’t expecting.
A/N: Surprise! Guys, guys, guys, it’s over! Listen, I enjoyed writing this series, but it brought me WAAAAY more stress than it should have because it lined up perfectly with my writers slump. I wanted to write more for it, but I pushed this for almost two years and it was baaaaad. I might write an epilogue for it to tie up lose ends and thoughts, but I’m not promising anything because who knows how when that could be out.
I am also trying something new with tags! I am so tired of adding taglists at the bottom of fics, so I made a taglist blog and it is @updates-from-elle and the idea is if you want to be tagged in fics, you follow that account and turn on notifications. I’m going to use it for this blog as well as my doctor who blog, so you would get notifs for both, just focus on the ones you want to read! That should be it! Hope you enjoy!
WC: 4K
Master
Part 6: Where do we go from here?
---
Luke’s mind was racing as he sits in his friend’s silence, each of them processing everything Luke had told them about you and being Jerry. When he came back to the studio less than an hour ago, he knew he had to tell them everything, especially since he had disappeared for a whole day.
“This whole time you were lying to her?” Alex mumbles, bouncing his leg and chewing on his nail. Luke wasn’t proud of himself, but he nods.
“I was going to tell her.” He tries to defend but his friends all give him different looks of disbelief. Luke slumps back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest with a pout. “Eventually.” He mutters and Julie throws her arms in the air.
She reaches for her phone on the table in front of everyone. “What are you doing?” Reggie asks, peaking over her shoulder as she searches through her contacts.
“Calling Y/N. Luke is going to explain everything to her.”
Luke’s eyes bug out of his head as he leaps across the table, snatching Julie’s phone out of her hand and holding it out of her reach.
“Give me my phone back!”
“No!” Luke’s desperate plea is ignored as Alex plucks the phone out of his hand and tosses it to the girl. “No, no, no, wait please- Don’t call Y/N, she’ll hate me!”
“She’ll get over it.” Julie says and taps the phone icon next to your name, hearing the little rings as she fakes a smile.
Alex and Reggie are holding Luke back from grabbing the phone again and Luke doesn’t know what to say until he shuts his eyes tight and shouts, “I’m in love with her!” The room falls quiet again and the only sound to be heard is Julie’s phone playing out your voicemail. Julie hangs up and Alex and Reggie’s hold on Luke disappear. They all take their seats once more, each in shock by Luke’s declaration, including the guitarist himself. Luke takes a shaky breath. “I know that I messed up.” He finally says, voice quiet and unsure of himself. “And I need to fix it.”
Luke was thankful your call went to voicemail. He needed to make things right, but he needed more time than this.
---
This was bad. This was really bad.
It’s been 5 days since Luke had last seen you. 4 days since Luke was ready to tell you everything. 3 days since Luke started to get worried. 2 days since you last left Julie on read and sent her to voicemail. And 1 day since Luke first popped into your house when he had time between rehearsals at a time you and your dad typically eat dinner, only to see your dad eating at the table alone.
He didn’t want to assume anything happened, but he only had a few minutes to check on you. He hadn’t seen your truck in your driveway for a few days, and neither Julie or Flynn had seen it at school. He went into your room a few times today, looking for any sign of you, but besides how freakishly clean your room is for you, he’s seen nothing.
“I’m telling you,” Luke groans, throwing himself on the couch, “something happened to her. I know it.”
“I’m sure she’s fine.” Julie tells him, smacking his feet off the couch and taking their spot. “She’s probably just out busy or something.”
“And ignoring her best friends?” Luke asks, giving her a look that tells her he already knows the answer.
Julie’s quiet for a moment until she starts playing with the hem of her coat. “Well, there could be another reason.”
Luke furrows his brows for a moment, trying to figure out what she was talking about until it hits him. Before Julie can even call out his name, Luke disappears, reappearing in your bedroom. He looks everywhere, going through your desk, bedside table, even opening your closet.
A lot of your clothes were missing, and your suitcase which you kept on a shelf at the top was gone. You were gone. He throws the door closed, pacing back and forth as he tries to think of some reason, of any reason, why you’d leave and where you’d go. He stands in front of your photo wall, eyes darting back and forth until Luke notices something very obvious and very depressing. Every photo of you had of the band and you and the little scraps of paper you hung up for Jerry was gone. He runs his hand over where they used to be. He tugs on the leftover pinned corners of the photos and notes. Not only were they gone, they were torn from the wall.
Luke’s stomach falls.
You knew.
You knew everything.
And now you were gone.
---
Luke didn’t think he was at your house for that long, but he collapsed on the bed, staring up at the ceiling he knew all too well as his tears dry on his cheeks. He didn’t hate that you knew. Secretly, he believes he was glad you knew, that he didn’t have to keep this a secret for any longer. But he hated that you found out on your own. He hated that he kept it a secret for months and you found out by yourself, probably believing you were lied to by all your friends. You were actively ignoring Julie, you didn’t say anything to the band, and you were just… gone.
The front door bell rings a few times as Luke sits up, knowing he should probably get going. Your dad opens the door as Julie stands there with a smile. “Can I help you?” Your dad asks, holding the door unknowingly wide enough for Julie to see Luke appear over his shoulder, his eyes red and puffy.
“Hi.” Julie sighs before looking back at your dad, “um, sorry. I’m friends with Y/N,” Your dad takes a deep breath and sighs. “I just haven’t seen her at school in a while and she’s not answering her phone. I just wanted to make sure she’s okay.”
“Julie, right?” Your dad asks and Julie smiles and nods. “Y/N talks about you all the time, I knew I recognized you from her wall.” He rubs his face before sticking his hands in his pockets and leaning against the door frame. “She’s fine. She uh, she decided she was going to go live with her mom for a while.”
“Her mom?” Luke pulls a face at your dad’s answer. You wouldn’t go live with your mom just because you found out the truth, would you?
“Her mom?” Julie repeats Luke’s question, hoping to get a bit more out of the adult. He nods, the smile he forces on his face was fake as Julie can see how sad the thought made him. “Um, thank you. If you talk to her, do you think you ask her to call me back?” Julie asks and your dad nods before seeing Julie off.
Luke joins her side only seconds after the front door closes. “She knows.” He says, making Julie jump as she walks. “She tore all of our pictures off the wall.”
“Maybe it was an accident.” Julie tries but Luke was unimpressed.
“An accident that only resulted in our pictures being gone and thrown in the trash?”
Julie stops walking with a frown. “She threw them in the trash?”
Luke shrugs. “I don’t know, I never found them.”
“So maybe she kept them.”
“I don’t know! But I do know one thing.”
Julie looks at Luke, her brows pulling together in wonder before her face falls. “Oh, please don’t tell me you’re going to-”
“I’m going to go see Y/N.”
---
Julie was calling you again.
You hit deny before powering off your phone, falling back in the sunflower field you were sat in. You just needed time. Living with your mom again was the last thing you wanted to do, but you only slept at her house and chose to spend your days here in the field or around the town. You just couldn’t be home with your friends right now. Julie most likely had no idea Luke was Jerry when you were telling her about him, but there was no way she didn’t know they were ghosts.
You were so lost in your thoughts as you watched the clouds dance through the sky that you didn’t hear the footsteps coming your way before a shadow falls over your face. “Hey.” You sit up a little, leaning on your elbows to look up at the girl standing in front of you, someone you hadn’t seen since before you moved with your dad. Kendall smiles down at you. “My mom thought she saw you out here in our flowers yesterday.”
You didn’t know what to say. She ignores you for months, hanging out with her new friends and thinks she can just show up while you’re struggling through things and pretend to be friends again.
At your silence, Kendall huffs. “Look, I don’t know what’s been going on with you lately since you moved, but you’re still my best friend. We went from texting or calling every day to whatever this is where I haven’t heard from you in weeks! And-and when I do, it’s like you’re not even you!” You stare at her, your lips part as you release a shaky breath because you had no idea what she was talking about. She picks at the flower in front of her, refusing to meet your eyes. “I miss my best friend.”
“I texted you.” you whisper, hearing your voice crack from its first use in a few days. Kendall meets your eyes. “I texted you and I called you and you sent me to voicemail.”
“What?” She gasps, taking a seat next to you. “No, I didn’t. I texted you every day for weeks and you ignored me.”
You shake your head and pull out your phone, scrolling through the unanswered messages from you to Kendall. What surprises you is when Kendall hands you her phone and shows you the same. Hundreds of text messages and outgoing calls from her to you that you never got. Kendall and you were beginning to put two and two together.
“Wait, show me my contact.” Kendall says and you show her phone number, nothing weird on your end. “Call me.” You do so, hearing the phone go to voicemail, but nothing pops up on Kendall’s phone.
You tilt your head, drawing your lip between your teeth before asking her to show you yours. You read the number on the phone before closing your eyes. “That’s not my number.”
Kendall’s quiet for a moment. “When was the last time I texted you?”
“Um, I don’t know.” You say and start scrolling through your texts. “I think the last time I saw anything from you was a few months ago and you left me on read because you were at Meredith’s party.”
“Meredith borrowed my phone.” Kendall whispered. Within just a few seconds, Kendall and you find your phone number sitting in Kendall’s blocked contacts.
“She blocked me.”
“That bitch.”
Your eyes widen. “Wait, you don’t like her?”
Kendall huffs out a laugh. “Like her? I hate her! She literally made your life hell.
“Then why were you hanging out with her and going to her parties?”
Kendall starts blushing as she avoids your eye contact. “Because she’s friends with Bailey. And Bailey is hot.”
Your mouth drops open in amusement. Leave it to Kendall to only hang out with your enemy for a cute girl. You start laughing, feeling immense relief that even after everything is over, you’d still always have her. Kendall slowly joins you in laughing, bumping her shoulder with yours as you both lay back in the sunflower field, enjoying being together once again.
When the laughter stops, Kendall speaks up. “Why did you come back?” She’s not mad that you’re here, you being here just made this one of the best days she’s had in a while, but she is confused. “I thought you’d never willingly choose to live with your mom again.”
You sigh, breathing out a laugh through your nose before you tell Kendall everything. Every little thing from moving into the new house, meeting Jerry, meeting Julie and the boys, getting to know Luke, and most importantly, being lied to by him.
Kendall doesn’t know what to say and her silence is scaring you a little. Finally, she takes the bag she was carrying and smacks you in the arm with it, repeatedly.
“Ow!” you say although she wasn’t truly hurting you.
“I’m sorry, but are you stupid?” She says and you push her away jokingly. “Y/N. It’s so obvious that you’re in love with him.”
“He lied to me, Kay. He’s still lying to me. How can I be sure he wo-”
“So, talk to him.” She interrupts you, grabbing your hand. “Look, what he did sounds stupid and awful and I don’t doubt you would love to ignore him and your new friends and never have to deal with the problem.” She knows you very well. “But I also know that those feelings you have for him aren’t going to go away and you are just going to eat yourself up inside until you figure out why he did what he did. I’m sure for some reason or another, Luke had a reason to pretend to be Jerry.” You know she has a point. And you know that this can’t just be a problem you push aside and ignore, just like the problem you thought you had with Kendall. Your phone buzzes on your lap, Julie’s contact lighting up the screen as Kendall and you sit up. She squeezes your hand one last time. “Talk to them. Then, come over to my place. You’re staying the night with me and not your mom.”
You watch as Kendall gets up and walks away, leaving you in the sunflower field with Julie’s call still ringing. With a final sigh, you answer the phone.
---
Luke was pacing back and forth in the studio, waiting for Julie to get off the phone call. The door finally opens and Julie steps inside. Luke jumps her way, followed by Alex and Reggie who were all worriedly waiting to find out what exactly is going to happen.
Julie glares at Luke before nodding and relaxing her shoulders. “She wants to talk to you.”
Luke’s legs almost give out in relief. “Is she still on the phone?”
Julie shakes her head. “She wants you to go to her. She said she’s in ‘her spot’, and that you’d understand what that meant.”
Luke’s face lit up almost immediately. He knew exactly what that meant. You were in the sunflower field.
“Wait, wait, wait.” Alex interrupts Luke’s happiness. “How are you going to get there? It’s not like you can poof there, you don’t really know exactly where she is, right?”
Alex had a point, but Luke knew he had to go. He had at least known the town you lived in, finding a sunflower field after that couldn’t be that hard, could it?
He smirks to all his friend and jumps a few times on his feet. “Wish me luck.”
The three of his friends all exchange different forms of worried glances before shouting ‘good luck’ before Luke is gone.
“He’s not going to find her, is he?” Reggie asks, crossing his arms in front of his chest. Alex claps him on the back before throwing his arm over the bassists shoulder.
“He’ll be lucky if he finds the town correctly.” The blond says and all three of them chuckle at their friend’s eager departure, yet happy to believe everything will be alright.
As long as Luke can find you.
---
Luke found the town, he had barely a problem there, the only real problem was the town was a lot bigger than he expected. He should have asked Julie to look up the sunflower field on her phone before he left. He didn’t even have a phone. He didn’t even know how to find or use a computer enough to even look for the sunflower field. Why couldn’t you have been somewhere easier to find? Like the town hall in front of Luke. Or that coffee shop right next to the town hall. Or with Kendall, who is walking into the coffee shop.
Luke’s eyes practically bug out of his head when he recognizes Kendall and he’s quick on his feet to follow after her with a smile. She was ordering when he pushes open the door, making the bell ring hard above the door. A lot of people jump at Luke’s arrival, including Kendall, as they all look his way but quickly gets back to their own conversations. Except Kendall. She looks away from Luke for the briefest of seconds before her eyes are locked onto him again and wide.
“You.” Kendall says, pointing at Luke and Luke’s smile quickly falls when he sees her frown and eyes narrow.
Luke’s words are rushed. “Where’s the field?”
Kendall is closer, her pointed finger almost pushing into his chest. “You!”
“Kendall!” He puts his hands in the air, taking a few steps back until he’s pressed again the door behind him. He almost yells. “The field!”
“Behind my house!” She yells back but doesn’t move from her position. “But you go and you make things right and you apologize for breaking my best friends’ heart and you promise to never ever do it again or I will find you and I will make sure your ghost butt stays dead.”
“I will.” Luke promises her and Kendall’s hand falls a few seconds later and Luke can finally step away from the door, relief flooding through him.
“Good.” She nods.
The two of them stand in awkward silence for a moment before Luke clears his throat. “So uh, you know then? Abo-about everything?”
Kendall lets out a soft laugh before nodding. “You really messed up. Go fix it.”
Luke didn’t need to be told twice.
---
After getting the exact directions from Kendall, Luke was standing in front of the Sunflower field, knowing you were somewhere amongst the flowers. He closes his eyes before starting through the field, looking for you.
He can see your head, poking up amongst the flowers. You were pacing back and forth, barely as tall as the flowers around you. Luke just watches for a moment, unsure what exactly he is going to say until your eyes flicker up, finding his surprisingly fast.
Your breath stills in your throat and you want to look away so you don’t give away how much seeing Luke and knowing the truth hurts you, but you can’t. Instead, you remain eye locked with him as he slowly comes closer, gently pushing aside the flowers to get by.
You can’t make yourself say anything as Luke stops in front of you, his eyes softly locked onto yours. “Hi.” He manages to breathe out but you stay silent. His fingers twitch as he fights his desire to touch you, to take your hand in his and hug you or do anything to beg for your forgiveness. Instead, he simply stares at you, wishing he put a little more thought into what he was going to say instead of leaving without thinking.
Luke could feel the tears begin to build in his eyes, “I messed up. I messed up so badly and I shouldn’t have lied to you. I should have- I should have said something, told you the truth, told you anything. And I didn’t. I’m so sorry.”
It hurt to look at him. It hurt to be close to him. You wanted to yell at him, to put space between you both, to show him how much it hurt you to know everything was a lie.
But you couldn’t.
In fact, you did the opposite.
Instead of yelling, you close the distance. Your chests meet as your hand fall on the back on his neck, pulling his lips into yours. Luke grips your waist, scared he was imagining it all, that he could let go and you’d slip through his fingers.
Time stopped in the small sunflower field as Luke and you lose yourselves in the kiss, gently pulling each other closer than you had ever been and loving every second of it.
When time moves again, your forehead rests on his, your eyes and his were closed as you wiped away a tear falling down your cheek. “I wanted to hate you.” you finally say, your voice was quiet and broke with your words. “I wanted to hate you so much.” Luke couldn’t bring himself to open his eyes as he pressed his forehead against yours, no longer fighting his tears and resorts to wiping them as well. “I trusted you and you lied to me and you kept lying to me.”
“Y/N-“ he finally speaks but you shake your head and pull away.
You meet his eyes and barely muster a smile. “But I can’t hate you.”
Relief floods Luke’s body as he releases a breath and blinks away his tears. His hand finds your cheek and his thumb drags across the wet streak on your skin. You lean into his touch and your eyes flutter close for the briefest of moments. “I love you.” You say, placing your hand onto his. “And it doesn’t matter if you were Jerry or Luke, I think I loved you as both.”
Luke doesn’t know what to say, there’s only one thing he can say. “I love you too. I have for months now, and I didn’t know what to do about it.” He knows no matter how great, how amazing and perfect this moment is, he needs to explain himself. You deserve that.
And so, as the two of you lay down on the sunflower field and watch the sky fade from a bright blue lit up by the sun to a dark blue illuminated by the stars, you listened to Luke explain everything. He started with everything about meeting you and the months since then and about Jerry. You listened closely, not wanting to interrupt Luke as he played with your fingers, apologizing every so often when he imagines how you must have felt.
After a while, the two of you run out of words to say. You’ve moved closer to each other, Luke’s arm was stretched out and holding you as you were settled into his side, resting your head on his chest. His hand not wrapped around your body was still playing with your fingers, lacing them through his own as he smiles.
“I never thought I would see this.” He whispers, more to himself but with your closeness, you hear it. You hum and squeeze his hand before he returns the gesture along with a kiss on the top of your head. “So where do we go from here?”
Luke’s question catches you off guard. To be honest, you weren’t sure. You both knew he had a long way to go before he earns your complete forgiveness, but he would spend the rest of his afterlife trying. That wasn’t the only problem, however. He is a ghost, you are alive. You could never have a normal relationship, but as you lay here in his arms, you were certain of two things. The first was you didn’t want normal, you just wanted him. The second was you were absolutely in love with him, and it didn’t matter where you both went from here.
As long as you had your Jerry.
As long as you had your Luke.

all about you
His green eyes were soft and probing as he watched his childhood best friend bop along to the catchy tune of his own song. You sang along to the chorus, this being the first time you had heard the studio version.
We been doin’ all this late night talkin’
The song was about you.
Bout’ anything you want until the mornin’
Harry hadn’t told you that yet, but it was obvious in the lyrics. There wasn’t very many people he would stay up until four am to talk to. It was a regular occurrence. You’d come over to Harry’s and the moment you stepped through the door time disappeared.
And now you’re in my life.
I can’t get you off my mind.
You played a vital role in Harry’s life. The more attention he got, the harder he clung to you and your sense of normalcy. You acknowledged his fame, but you didn’t let it dictate your friendship. That’s why Harry loved you. You took him for who he was and you ran with it in the best possible way.
“H,” you jog him from his thoughts as you turn the speaker down. “That was…amazing. You’re amazing.” You’re adorning a proud smile, your gaze loving.
There is a light blush dusting the singer’s cheeks, “Really?”
You stand up and move to sit next him. “I loved it.”
He takes your hand in his, fingers messing with the gold rings that adorn your hand. “That’s good…because it’s about you.”
Your wonder-filled eyes widen. “You’re joking.”
Harry shakes his head lips tugging up at your surprise.
“Are you serious? Harry. Stop.”
“I’m serious, love. Every single word.” He watches as tears brim your eyes. You’re still in disbelief, yet you cling to him like there’s no tomorrow. Harry finds himself buried into your honey and lavender scent. Maybe he’ll title a song on his next album, honey. It grounds him. You ground him. You with your bright eyes and awful sense of humor and a heart too big for this world. To Harry, writing a song about the most important person in his life was scraping bare minimum. Not when you left everything behind to travel around the world and back for him. Not when you made him breakfast and left sticky notes around his tour bus. Not when you spent hours searching for the person who had his iconic lion ring. And especially not when you held him when the pressure of being a superstar got too much.
Once you’ve gathered yourself, you pull back and wipe away a few stray tears. Harry’s arm falls around your waist to keep you close. “I can’t believe you wrote a song…about me.”
A lazy smile tugs at his lips. “Why? You are the most important person in my life, Y/n.”
You fall into his arms once again, overwhelmed. “Thank you, H. I love you.”
The musician places a lingering kiss to your forehead. “I love you more.”

On so-called "ace-erasure" in the Hazbin Fandom
I feel compelled to say something, as a proud ace, regarding the maelstrom of hate and bullying surrounding a fandom I just dipped my toe into, but it concerns the broader concept of fanfic and fanart as a whole.
Y’all. It’s a cartoon. They’re not real people, they’re not based on real people, they exist to be entertainment and to make you smile and sing along and root for their success.
It’s funny how you can look at any straight, cis male in a movie or TV show – whether he be in a happy, healthy straight relationship or otherwise, and the fandom drags his sexuality through the woodchipper in the name of fanfiction.
Oh but there’s queerbating, they’re totally gay even if the writers refuse to admit it. Oh but it’s just for fun. Oh but it’s just wish-fulfillment, it’s not doing any harm. They’re just fictional characters.
Excuse after excuse after excuse for raunchy art and sordid storytelling that can boil over into hating on not only the female characters in these men’s lives, but their female actors.
And yet.
God forbid you drag an ace’s sexuality through the mud for the same exact harmless, wish-fulfilling reasons. Or anyone who isn’t cisgender and straight.
Oh but it’s queer-erasure. It's different because there's already not enough of us and we have to fight for what we have.
No. It’s not. Because you’re not the writer. It’s not your show. So long as the person who made the character proudly defends them and respectfully depicts them, then it’s not erasing anything. Otherwise the thousands upon thousands of wailing fans would have turned some of the most iconic men of fiction into proud gay icons simply by wishing it so.
The whole point of fanfic is being able to see situations, circumstances, and relationships in a what-if scenario. Yes we know this character is straight, or gay, or bi, or pan, or ace or aro, but what if they weren’t for just a few thousand words? Yes we know this is how it happened on screen, but what if it happened a little differently?
It’s supposed to be fun.
I love ace representation. There’s not enough of it and there needs to be more. I want to be able to say See! We exist! Look at us go! with the rest of you.
I also respect shippers doing whatever they damn well please because no matter what they say or do, I can re-watch the show and still see my ace on screen unblemished (as can all the straight viewers who cling to their straight heroes).
Is the motto of fanfic not “don’t like, don’t read?” The amount of nasty comments on incredible art is insane. Don’t like? Don’t look. You’re the one with egg on your face wasting your time and effort typing out and posting that nasty comment. You don’t like it? Scroll on past. Ignore the art and deprive it of the attention the artist posted it for because it’s fanart of fictional characters.
Is this post going to make a difference? No. Am I inviting my own slew of nasty time-wasting comments? Yes. But as an ace who saw an ace and does actually appreciate (if not agree with) the potential in all these what-if scenarios in the right, specific circumstances, I’m fervently siding with those artists who just wanted to draw something pretty and share it with the world.
It’s entertainment. It’s just for fun. Do you really, seriously want this fandom to be looked on from a distance as “oh yeah the violent, bullying nerds that take a cartoon musical way too seriously”? Instead of, I don’t know, “Hey, I want to watch this cool show and peruse some awesome fan content because I can’t get enough of what little we were given, look at how many wonderful options there are.”

Going Against the Current: Chapter 2
I want you to make me a dress.
The words rattled in Luigi’s mind. His jaw dropped. He stared in utter shock at Bowser, almost believing he misheard him.
Bowser.
His incredibly tall, handsome, and buff fire breathing Koopa of a boyfriend.
Wanted a dress.
Not just any dress. But one designed and made by his own hands. Luigi never foresaw this coming. Bowser had a rather masculine disposition. He was a gym rat and car enthusiast. He was boisterous and proud; the top of the relationship! Bowser doesn’t let anyone get in the way of his goals. Sure, he had a soft side, especially towards him and his kids, but that was it. A king with an infamous reputation, a leader of a powerful military. Yet here he was asking for something delicate. To say this was uncharacteristic was the understatement of the century.
Luigi blinked once. Twice. Standing completely frozen on the spot. Bowser, worried about his boyfriend and anxiously waiting for his response, snorted and nudged him with his head. “L? You good?”
“...”
The king gently cupped his face with his hand, an easy feat due to their size difference. Luigi’s face reddened at the gesture, shyly looking at the scaled hand holding him before gazing into the ruby-red eyes that were staring at them. Swallowing saliva, he said “Excuse me?” in a squeaky voice.
Bowser put a hand on his hip. “I want to commission a dress from you,” he repeated.
Luigi’s lip quivered. “W-Why?”
The king shrugged. “I’m curious.”
“Curious about wearing a dress?”
The royal chuckled and released his hold. Luigi’s face reddened further; he was unsure of how to react. There’s certainly more to this than Bowser was letting on. He crossed his arms. “Well, you indulge in my hobbies sometimes, so I thought it would be fair to do the same for you,” he replied.
Luigi tapped his chin, “T-that’s true… B-but you don’t have to!”
“I want to. It makes you happy and I’m curious of what it’s like,” replied the king with a wink. “You know I do whatever I want.”
Luigi could not resist the laugh that escaped from him. It was true that Bowser did what he wanted when he wanted. In a way, that’s what he finds alluring of the beast before him. He was unafraid of taking initiative; it made him a great king and military leader, as well as a good father. While some people may disagree with this, seeing it more as a villainous trait, they fail to see the bigger picture. Without such a strong sense of charge, the Darklands may have crumbled. In such a harsh environment as this kingdom, one has to be quick on their feet and of sharp mind; Bowser had both qualities.
Still… His shock was more than warranted. Luigi has done commissions for all kinds of people, but he’s never done one for someone like Bowser. It would certainly be challenging, considering how customized this dress would need to be; he doesn’t want it to rip when Bowser’s taking a deep breath. Plus, his brain was currently imploding at the thought of him wearing such a thing. Bowser in a suit? He can handle that… Kind of. But a dress? A-all those chiseled muscles b-being held back by d-delicate fabric-
“Already ‘planning’ what I’ll look like?~”
Luigi elbowed him and pulled his cap over his eyes. Bowser crept behind him and twirled his mustache with his claw, “I don’t blame ya, I am irresistible~” he growled. The flustered human made a choked squeaking sound and pushed his giant boyfriend away.
“Not the stache! I just groomed it!”
The Koopa King let out a belly laugh. Distancing himself, Luigi ran his fingers through his facial hair, shaping it to its iconic state. Bastard, he thought. But he's my bastard, so I’ll allow it. Having laughed himself silly, Bowser wiped a tear away and gathered himself. He crossed his arms, “So, whadda ya say, babe? Up for the challenge?” he asked with a cheeky smile.
Luigi nervously scratched his face. “I guess it could be fun… Yeah sure.”
Bowser smiled. Luigi was taken aback by his reaction but swiftly found it heart-warming. It reminded him of the time he revealed his cross-dressing hobbies to him. One day he was trying on his newest creation, a navy and lime green dress with puffy off-sleeves. He had been so engrossed with his reflection, he didn’t notice Bowser had walked in until he heard him chirp. When Luigi looked at him, the koopa’s eyes were fully dilated and his tail was nothing but a blur. At first, he had been terrified, fearing Bowser would lose interest in someone like him; however, he could not be farther from the truth. He swiftly commented on his appearance and praised his handiwork; heck, the next day, Bowser had this sewing room made just for him.
As the drive grew within him, Luigi quickly collected his measurement tape and other miscellaneous tools. He looked at Bowser with a smile; his lover responded with a toothy grin.
.
.
.
It has been a few weeks since the king's unique request, and the mustached human sure was determined to deliver. After taking the mighty ruler's measurements (ignoring Bowser's flirts), Luigi set out to work. Luckily, Bowser’s request was not too dramatic; in fact, he pretty much left it up to Luigi.
Surprise me, he seemed to say.
Luigi felt giddy as he worked. He adored the feeling of fabric between his fingers and imagining his boyfriend’s reaction was excellent motivation. Knowing Bowser, he would like something flashy yet practical with dark colors to match his sharp accessories. So, he designed the darkest fabric he had and started on his task.
Designing and making something like this for someone so big was challenging; Luigi even pulled a few all-nighters to get it done. He spent hours sewing and stitching, carefully crafting every detail of the dress. During his forced breaks, all he could think about was his special project. One time, when he got home from the Darklands and went to sleep, Mario said he had gone to check on him and it looked like Luigi was sewing in his sleep! And after those long weeks passed, Luigi’s handiwork stood before him, standing in all its glory on a custom-made mannequin.
The little man in green straightened the fabric, admiring the ripped pattern of the skirt. The gothic dress was as dark as night with lace off-shoulder sleeves, perfectly polished crimson diamonds decorating the waistline. He was particularly fond of the “tattered” appearance, almost as if the wearer had just returned from battle. A very Bowser thing to do. Luigi fanned his hands, stimming by the excitement, then he rushed out of the room. He traversed the lava-lit hallways of his castle, feverishly looking for his royal boyfriend. Oh, Luigi just couldn’t wait to see his face! He wants to see how it looks on him!
WHERE TF IS HE?
Luigi checked the throne room, the kitchens, the piano’s den, but found no one. He has some of the staff and they all directed him to Junior’s room. Luigi sprinted through the halls, giggling to himself as he took turn after turn, practically tripping over his feet. He slowed down once he saw a large wooden door with an orange insignia, Junior’s face grinning mischievously back at him. As quietly as he could, Luigi pulled the door open and peeked inside, smiling at the sight before him.
Junior was on his father’s head, mashing the buttons of his Joy-Con; meanwhile, Bowser tapped on the delicate buttons, skillfully performing combo after combo with a triumphant smirk on his face. The characters on the large screen on the wall were thrown back and forth across the arena; by Junior’s growls and snorts of smoke, it didn’t take much for one to know he was losing.
GAME!
The little prince groaned and rolled off his father’s head, landing in his hands. Bowser nuzzled him and laughed. Junior shook his tiny fists, “Cheater! You rigged the game!” he shouted.
“Now, now, Junior. Don’t be a sore loser.”
“*grr* You only won because Mama taught you to play,” Junior grumbled.
Luigi guffawed at his reaction. The two royal koopas turned to him. Junior jumped away from Bowser’s grip and sprinted towards him, trapping his legs in a tight hug. The human male ruffled his hair, earning a few pleased clicks in return. Luigi looked up at Bowser, eyes twinkling. The king walked over to them and rubbed his face against Luigi’s, making a deep bellowing noise. Junior jumped and made grabby hands at them. The parents lifted him up and hugged him. Becoming Junior’s parent was one of the greatest presents life has given him. He loved the rambunctious bambino; Junior never fails to make him smile. None of the koopalings do. They all have such unique personalities and outlooks on life that it was refreshing.
After a few moments, the trio split apart. Junior gently tugged on his pant leg, “Mama, can we play a game?” he asked.
“Later, piccolino. I need to borrow your dad for a moment,” he replied.
Bowser patted his hand “I think the others are having a race, why don’t you go join them? I’ll see you later, lil’ man.” he said.
The young prince gave his parents one final hug before sprinting down the hall, giggling impishly. Luigi watched him go before suddenly being pulled by a hand on his waist. Bowser kissed his cheek, “Now what’s got you all fired up?” he asked. Luigi did not bother answering; the Italian climbed up his arm and sat on his shoulder. Bowser froze. “What’re you doing?” he asked with a chuckle.
Luigi playfully tugged on his horns, “I did it! I finished the dress!” he exclaimed.
“Really? Then let’s go then!”
The duo headed back to the sewing room. Once they arrived, Bowser reached for the doorknob but Luigi stopped him by covering his eyes. The king laughed, the movement almost shaking Luigi off his shoulders. After blindly opening the door, he carefully walked inside. He sniffed around, surprised by the new smell of fabric; L must have imported some materials from the neighboring kingdom, for they lacked the ashy, volcanic smell of Darklandian fabric. Luigi urged him forward; the beast took a few steps before stopping. “All right, you can get off now,” he said.
“Don’t open them yet!”
“Okay, okay. I won’t!”
Luigi jumped off his shoulder and took his hand, moving him forward. Then, he moved away.
“Okay, now open them!”
His boyfriend slowly opened his eyes, the nictitating membrane pulling away to reveal those mesmerizing red eyes. It took him a moment to realize what he was looking at. Luigi bounced on the balls of his feet, watching with wide eyes as Bowser circled around the mannequin, sniffing it every now and then and softly feeling the fabric between his fingers. His eyes glittered with all sorts of emotion: curiosity, amazement, pride. Luigi’s heart skipped a beat at the sight. Moments of praise and appreciation were greatly cherished by him, having lived on the sidelines for a great portion of his life. These moments were even more special considering they were coming from his boyfriend.
A heavy thud pulled him away from his thoughts.
Bowser has removed his shell, casting it to the side. He started taking off his spiky bracelets but stopped and looked at Luigi. “...I’m gonna need help putting this on,” he said with a blush. Luigi smiled at him, then rolled his sleeves up.
With his sharp jewelry and armor gone, the two undertook the daunting task of putting the gown on. Bowser, so unfamiliar with the dress feeling, would flail a little, nearly knocking Luigi over with his tail; the sight looked comical, it was like dressing up a massive doll. Nevertheless, he did it. And the king looked absolutely dashing.
The gown’s skirt billowed out at the waist, falling down in layers of black material. Light reflected off the gemstones stitched to the waist, as well as Bowser’s scales, giving him an almost ethereal glow. It suited him very well, accentuating his immaculate physique. Luigi tugged on Bowser’s hand, “Down, please.” After gathering his skirts, the king obliged and kneeled before him. The human ran his fingers through his fiery hair, pulling some tufts over his eyes and sweeping the rest to his shoulder.
“H-hey! Watch the mane!”
Luigi hushed him and continued styling his hair. Then he moved away and uncovered a nearby mirror, “Take a look!”
Bowser stepped forward, a cooing noise escaping his face. He stood there in awe for a second, taking in his reflection. He couldn't believe how magnificent he looked. Here he stood in a gown made of the finest materials, with intricate embroidery and sparkling jewels adorning it made by the person he loved with all his heart and soul. Bowser had never felt so elegant and powerful before. The colors, the ripped style… It all felt like him. Despite being a man in a dress, he still exudes that powerful, ominous aura.
I’m ready to take down an entire army, and I’ll sure as hell look good doing it.
He turned to his consort, who stared at him in amazement.
"Behold!" Luigi declared, spreading his arms wide. "All hail Bowser! The most beautiful warrior king to ever live!”
Luigi whistled and clapped. Bowser basked in his adoration, feeling more confident than ever. He felt unstoppable (more than usual) with his awesome new look. He suddenly felt a pair of tiny arms wrap around his waist, realizing it was Luigi hugging him. Without hesitation, Bowser picked him up. The human squealed with glee, having grown accustomed to his boyfriend’s habit. The Koopa King peppered his face with kisses and kitten licks, purring incessantly and his tail thumping against the stone floor.
Suddenly a beeping disrupted their wholesome moment. Bowser snarled, having half a mind in pulverizing the device responsible. Luigi murmured an apology before reaching into his pocket. The Koopa King reluctantly put him down so he could tend to his Dual Scream. He tapped on the tiny device, then sighed.
“It’s E. Gadd. He needs help with some ghosts giving him grief,” he said.
Bowser quirked an eyebrow and gave him a look that said Really? Luigi nervously rubbed the back of his head. He sighed, then pulled him into a bone-crushing hug, “All right, fine. I guess I can share your attention, but just this once.” he said.
Luigi looked up from between his pecs, “Hmm. How thoughtful,” he quipped.
“Don’t sass me, green bean!”
Luigi playfully rolled his eyes and tried pushing him away, but Bowser’s grip remained. He rubbed his face against Luigi’s, “Just be careful and give those annoying ass boos hell,” he whispered.
With a nod and a kiss, Luigi climbed off his arms and moved away from his arms. He looked up at him, “You need help getting out of this?” he asked.
“I got it, babe. Now go make sure Boo doesn’t get loose or something!”
Luigi jumped up and gave him another kiss on the lips before racing out of the room. Bowser touched his muzzle and sighed sadly. Oh well, that’s what he signed up for when dating a hero. He lifted the skirt, giggling impishly before he exited the room too.
As the beautifully dressed traveled through the halls, his minions stopped in their tracks, dropping anything in their hands. Bowser paid them no mind as he had more pressing matters to attend to; there has been a change of plans regarding his wedding attire.

This week's theme: Rec a fic that starts with the same letter as your username (or, if you like, a part of your username).
The rules: Tag a fic that starts with the same letter as your username and describe why it's so good / how it has a hold on you. Then tag some people to see what everyone else is reading. Spread the love! Please tag @welcometololaland or tag #fic rec friday so they can compile the masterlist.
Okay, so clearly, I can’t read because I chose fics that started with an “S” for my actual first name and not my URL lol. I tried to fix this, but the amount of fics that start with a “P” in my bookmarks is almost nonexistent. So I’m going to just stick with my incorrectness; forgive me. Lola - thank you for always tagging me; I finally managed to post because looking through my AO3 bookmarks made this “easier.” You know how indecisive I am. Lol. I also promise I tried to keep this short, and this is what keeping it short looks like.😂
****
911 Lone Star
Say You’ll Remember Me: This is a Ryderdie WIP by @myemergence, and I really look forward to more. It’s one of my absolute favorite tropes (Amnesia!) and a canon-divergent AU for 2x9 featuring one of the best fictional couples to ever exist. I love Judd and Grace Ryder so much. Jenny nails the angst in that way where it hurts but GOSH it is good. It’s just *chef’s kiss* and I can’t wait to see where the rest of the journey takes us.
Searching For A Trail to Follow Again: Paige’s (@sunshinestrand) fics are classic, butterflies in your stomach, grinning from ear-to-ear, romantic comedies. This AU was so charming and, like all of Paige’s writing, leaves you with the biggest smile on your face because you’re just over-the-moon Carlos and TK have found one another in this story and in all her AUs (again and again and again). Contrary to popular belief among certain showrunners, letting characters just be happy is quality and compelling storytelling, and I’m grateful for fic writers like Paige who know that and give us a slice of that joy.
So Many Somethings: Rae’s (@iboatedhere) AUs are iconic by now, but this one will always be near and dear to my heart. Not just because it’s the You’ve Got Mail AU and it’s an incredible nod to the film, but also because it was the first fic I ever beta-read for her, and the whole process bonded us. Rae, thanks for trusting me! This fic is remarkable, I love the balance of enemies-friends-lovers and the banter. Oh, the Banter™️. Nora Ephron would be proud!
Sanctuary: If I had to use one word to summarize this fic, it would be ✨DESTINY✨. Honestly, I think all of Kim’s (@reyescarlos) fics have a destiny vibe to them, you can feel that these two characters are meant to be together, and they will find a way. I loved the first meeting in this one; the tension in the scene was palpable, and Kim’s writing always makes you feel like every interaction is happening right in front of you. She’s magic in that way ✨.
Slowly Becoming Lovers: I love fics that show us the little moments between Carlos and TK, how they fall in love through the little things, and the way Holly (@morganaspendragonss) portrays that journey in these short vignettes is so so SO beautiful. This is one of the fics I have reread the most, according to the AO3 clicks lol, and there is a reason for that. It is truly lovely. Also, the title is inspired by one of my favorite Ben Platt songs, and fits the story perfectly! Highly recommend!
Red, White, and Royal Blue
Snowed in? Snow problem: This fic is such a blast to read, lol. I laughed so hard, and I still laugh just as hard when I reread it because the ugh!Hunter slander is top-tier. A direct quote: “Well, I’m not bunking in with Hunter or you’ll be dealing with a murder by the end of the day.” Same, Alex. Same. Forever mood.😂 Add to that, “there was only one bed” plus Rae’s (@rmd-writes) ability to write Sexual Tension™️ x 5467893204858, and this college au is a must-read. Also, THE TITLE. YAAASS. A+ pun. No notes.
Sink Beneath the Waves: This fic. THIS FIC. You know how in every fandom, there are stories that are essentially required reading, this one by @indomitable-love is one of those fics for me in the RWRB fandom. The love, the yearning, the pain, and the utter joy at Henry’s “I’m into making History.” Getting the chance to see these canon plot points from Henry’s POV is a gift, and I’m so grateful this fic exists for us to revisit again and again.
****
I think this has made the rounds already because it is Saturday for me, so consider this an open tag to whoever has fics they would like to share with us!

APRIL FOOLS!
Although I have two next gen projects well underway, I’m always coming up with new ideas for stories or tropes to explore, and some of them don’t fit in my existing projects. I know this may seem impulsive, but I’ve actually been planning this privately since November so it isn’t at all. I am proud to introduce my fourth next gen project, which for now I’m calling the Fourthverse!
*****
Twilight Sparkle is a proud single mom to two adorable twin fillies! They’re as close as can be, joined at the hip on all levels except physical. They finish each other’s sentences to the point where they almost look like they’re speaking in unison, they follow each other everywhere to the point where they’re absolutely never apart, down to sleeping together…not that anyone’s seen them sleep. Who’s the sire? Where are they? Did anypony even see Twilight pregnant? Twilight wishes ponies would stop asking all these questions, and she’s tired of seeing even her closest friends avoid eye contact with her beautiful creations…I mean children. They were created completely naturally and ethically, I promise!
Fluttershy may be good with animals, but that doesn’t mean she’s good with children. This is a lesson she learned years ago when caring her her friends’ sisters, but she forgot about it by the time she decided to have a child of her own and insisted it would be easy. If she can wrestle a bear, she can put a foal to sleep! Well, that logic obviously proved itself wrong as parenting turned out to be far more than Fluttershy was prepared for. Somewhere along the line she lost her mind, completely giving up on motherhood and throwing herself back into her role as an animal caretaker. She throws a birthday party for each and every one of her bajillion pets, all the while forgetting to care for her own foal, let alone celebrate the day she became a mother.
Pinkie Pie wants to make every foal smile, but once she had her own, she had to learn that life wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. There’s a lot of responsibility just to keep them alive. She may have figured it out for babysitting the Cake twins on occasion, but with her own foals there wasn’t a single break from responsibility. Eventually she realized that a lot of things about her own lifestyle were not suitable for raising a foal. Constant fun, constant sugar, constant energy…it was not the key to a balanced upbringing. But her parenting style became unbalanced in the opposite direction where she now gives her kids a life of constant boredom and no sweets at all. Pinkamena makes her own parents look like party clowns. It’s not the life she likes, but at least her family is safe and healthy.
Rainbow Dash is the menace of Equestria…or an icon, depending on how you want to look at it. No adult female of any species can resist her electrifying energy, the deep allure of desire that she invokes just by her mere existence. Wives have left husbands, heads of state have caused scandals, all for just a chance to taste the rainbow. Citizens are divided over whether this world savior is really a benefit to society anymore. If she still deserves to be called the Element of Loyalty. Well, to that she would say, she’s not the one encouraging creatures to betray her vows for her. She’s not making any promises she would break. They just stick to her like magnets without her even having to do anything; she can’t help being this awesome and irresistible. One thing’s for sure: she is contributing to a whole lot of population growth. This is only a fraction of it.
Applejack has fallen head over hooves for a very special stallion! Blank Sheet, a paper company executive, is the apple of her eye and nopony can convince her that he isn’t the one. Family members ask how she fell for a stallion that isn’t even a farmer, isn’t farming the core of her very being? Well, paper is made of trees so it still counts, darn it! He ain’t much into music, or athletics, or even really a conversationalist. He doesn’t smile a whole lot, if he ever has. He isn’t really a family stallion either…does he even have a family? But consarnit, Blank Sheet really does have a fascinatin’ personality once ya get to know him! It’s just that nopony but her can see it. AJ may be fighting for her life at the Friendship Council meetings every time she speaks of him, but there is no doubt in her mind that he’ll make a fine Apple one day.
Rarity feels as if the universe has put a curse upon her. All she wants is to settle down and raise a family with a good and generous stallion, but it’s like the universe pulls the rug out from under her every time she gets close to that goal. Each time she thinks she has met the love of her life, he dies tragically in some ridiculous and unbelievable way. Lost in the Everfree Forest, fallen into a pit of lava, even crushed by an anvil falling from the sky! One even died from a sprained ankle for some Celestia-foresaken reason. Rarity can never feel too safe, as tragedy can strike anywhere from early in the relationship to over a year into marriage. This poor stallion met his demise in the jaws of a bugbear, leaving Rarity to raise yet another foal alone among the many others her lost lovers have given her. Will she ever get a break?
*****
I’m really excited to start this project and introduce you all to the kids in between Auraverse and Thirdverse work. I’m excited for those verses as well ofc but I’m starting to think these are some of my best ideas yet!

Scott and Ant-Mun wiped whip cream off their faces. “Mmmm frothy,” Scott chuckled as he licked his lips.
Ant-Mun raised an eyebrow at Iron Mun and giggled. “Boy, you sure do know how to hit me with it, friend. Hopefully, Tony won’t be missing the repulsor while you’ve got it. Alright,” she popped her knuckles, “you ready for this? Ask and you shall receive.”
Send me your URL and I'll tell you
My opinion on character in general, how they play them, the mun:
Okay! Tony. Oh my sweet Tony. He’s been a favorite of mine since the MCU’s debut. I’ve been wanting to give Tony a hug since 2008 (thank you tumblr for letting me do that 😭). He’s the heart of the MCU, the most human superhero I’ve ever encountered. Inspirational, tragic, and iconic. I love him to death. I hated Civil War for what it did to my faves. When I watched Endgame, I bawled my eyes out for days; I literally grieved him. And thanks to you, my friend, we’ve got him back because your portrayal is unparalleled. I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again: RDJ would be so proud of your portrayal! I said what I said! Sometimes I forget whose blog I’m looking at; I think it’s Tony’s. And you! You my friend, are wonderful. I am so thankful for you. I too am completely flabbergasted by how our friendship started and developed. It’s amazing how things work out like that when you let yourself be led, right? I could write a book over you and us. I periodically look at the birthday gift I made you and smile. You’re just the absolute best. To be so privileged to be friends with you and watch you grow this past year and for us to sharpen each other like iron (heh). My only regret is it wasn’t meant to be for us to find each other sooner, but I’m glad we are friends now.
Do I RP with them, want to RP with them:
Heck yeah and heck yeah! Forever and ever and ever and always
What is my overall opinion:
WE LOVE YOU AND TONY SO DAMN MUCH!! ❤️💛❤️🐜
**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty

Damn I feel like it's been forever for some reason lmao. Last week's hell is finally over and I get to relax this week! I'm going out with some friends on Friday and I've also cleared my phone and organized my notes!!! It feels so good😭 Now I have some thoughts about last chapter BECAUSE WOW
First of all fuck Mallory, I hate her and I will never get tired of saying this and I am now divided between wanting to read the next chapter so bad and dreading it with my whole being 🙂
My heart broke into a million pieces with the first part!!! Rafael's fear for Max is shown so damn well and Max's thoughts are messy and all over the place and the way you can see him moving in and out of reality is overwhelming!!
I kinda guessed the "why isn't he smiling?" part but fuck if it ripped my heart 😭😭
"Tears of grief" Max loving him so much he literally recognizes his tears and knows these ones too.... And saying he looks as if he is grieving something that was his everything, not knowing David was grieving him. Grieving them. The life they had built. Gone.
"I wanna see daddy" WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SCREAMING INTERNALLY ON MY FLOOR!! When we first saw on the first chapters I was so confused and now that the dots connected I am in pain 😭. And you wrote that scene so beautifully, their pain and horror and how you see Max slowly losing himself because it's just too much. The pain is too much. Losing David, Lance's pain, his job, his home...
And the scene with Magnus!!! GOING TO MY FAVE COLLECTION 🥺. Also him giving the band to AJ later, because Magnus said he could give it to someone else when it hurt just a little bit less HOLY SHIT😭😭
I can go on a three hour analysis so Imma stop jdhdjdjkd. BUT THE PRESENT TOO JFC
Max's growth. That ends me everytime. Seeing how much he has changed and how he survived through all of this. Thinking of the was Alec told him how proud he is of Max because he made it. Not the way he planned. But he did it. He got so far, and that took so much strength but he still survived. Same Alec, same🥹
But also the fucking parallel:
"He was careful now (...) Just in case. Just in case he'll get his heart broken all over again."
///
Not without an explanation. Not without getting his heart broken into a million pieces one last time.
Then, just like everything else in life, things slowly got better. This whole fic is a prove of it and I can't even-
YES LANCE CALL HIS IDIOTIC SELF OUT!!! TELL HIM DAVID LOVES HIM MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!!! I WILL NEVER GET TIRED IF HIS SASS BTW
You once said that tlnd was was about acceptance and healing, but IALS is about forgiveness, about learning to forgive the people we love, but mostly about learning to forgive ourselves (I have the receipts don't @ me) and this scene portrayed that so well. Even though Max knows it wasn't his fault he still blames himself. Because knowing is not the same as accepting it. As Max said, shit is hard to internalize.
THIS GOES TO MY TOP 10😭😭 LANCE AND MAX TALKING TO EACH OTHER IS EVERYTHING I KNEW I NEEDED FROM THE VERY START I AM SO EMOTIONAL!!! Also Lance and Max's detective skills together??? ✨ Iconic✨
Tell me how to love you as you want to be loved and I'll do it to give you the comfort and safety you deserve is something I'll never get tired of😭😭 istg I could go on a whole speech about this part because it's so true. Sometimes parents don't love us the way we want to be loved, but that doesn't mean there's no love there. It's just different of what we expect. And sometimes people go their whole lives not knowing of that love and that's just sad.
That is one unproblematic child,” Max noted. “Really doesn’t fit into this clusterfuck of a family.”
“I’m waiting for him to set Hollywood on fire,” Lance informed. “Don’t lose hope yet.”
HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED I'M THE ARTHUR OF MY FAMILY. WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE???
I have so many feeling about that apartment and Harry and them but I will not unpack them bc this shit is already long enough 🙂
Their conversation. The way they've both changed so much. Talking about how they wished they were there for Lance and for each other. I was in TEARS
Everything of the last scene was *screams internally* David fucking pushing Max to the wall, stronger than hate. "He's scared of something". Fucking Mon ange, *what did Mallory do to you?"
I just want you to know I will combust into confetti or tears in the next chapter. Probably both...
Anyway this turned long and I better go. Take care and drink lots of tea!!!!
💙.💙.💙.
This made me so 😇😇😇😇 and gave me some motivation to write the next chapter 😭😭😭😭 Thank you 💚💚💚
This is Lance sleeping in Arthur’s room 🥰🥰🥰

Mysterious Benedict Society Episode 7 Liveblog - A Joyful Lens
I wrote this and then completely forgot to come back to it, but here we are, the day before the final episode is dropping.
Wow, immediate new record for how fast I’ve wanted to punch Curtain. Usually it takes at least a couple minutes but this time it was just. literally the first line. may your tea always be too bitter and scald your fucking tongue.
HmmmmMMMMMMM MA’AM ARE YOU FAKING YOU’D BETTER BE FAKING
I am staring at Number Two under a microscope rn, ma’am are you okay.
“Big day tomorrow” pls no that sounded so wrong. I’ve been saying big day today for the past year, and big day tomorrow made me v uncomfortable.
Tbh I wouldn’t be shocked if Curtain picked up on the fact that there was something in the tea. Not that I think he’s smart enough to pick up on it, but he just seems paranoid enough as a person to notice that something’s off.
UH OH UH OH UH OH OH NO
Ughhhhh having such conflicting feelings on number two getting whammied because yes it’s bad but also the things she’s saying are things that Mr. Benedict really needs to hearrrrrrr and things she should have been saying all season but ehhh. Mixed feelings.
Love Kate and Milligan’s farm system. All of the moments that show how much they’ve built their lives and relationship with one another over the past year really warm my heart. It’s a nice other side to the moments where they’re struggling with their relationship
RUN SILENT RUN DEEP!!! Thank you for the actual episode title bc I’m still uncomfy over big day tomorrow
But also yeah Milligan, running silent running deep really worked out well for you last time, uh huh, I’m sure it’ll go off without a hitch this time
Reynie did you really think Kate was going to stay put, I love your confidence in people
Hey disney I can’t take Reynie and Kate getting whammied too, so keep that in mind pls
AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CRYIJG I’M LAUGHING EO HARD
THE STRAIGHTJACKETS
THEIR FACES
THE WAY EVERYONE IS JUST🧍♂️
CONSTANCE’S TERRIFYING SMILE
STICKY IS SO DONE HE LOOKS LIKE HE COULD SET CURTAIN ON FIRE WITH HIS EYES
I’m LAUGHING SO HARD
Oh my god this feels like a fever dream
J e f f e r s, he’s so proud of himself, you pathetic pathetic man
Where the fuck did you get straightjackets, Jeffers? Did you go to a store after grabbing them? HAVE YOU BEEN CARRYING THOSE AROUND FOR WEEKS???
The way unwhammied Constance would just be biting him. Someone get her some acid for whenever they bring her out of it
Jeffers of course you don’t know how to take off a straightjacket, can’t you see you’re undercutting Curtain’s reunion with two of his child nemeses?
CONSTANCE THROWING OFF THE STRAIGHTJACKET LMAOOOOO absolutely iconic
Shedding it like she’s shedding all the negativity in her life rn. She was in that straightjacket because she chose to be
Yeah Sticky!!! Get him!! Call him evil!!
Ew no Curtain you’re not allowed to refer to people as ‘friend’ anymore, I thought we left that behind last season.
Slightly disappointed we didn’t get Curtain expecting Constance to straight up murder him, but that’s okay
Wait no. Don’t you fucking dare.
FIGHT IT STICKY FIGHT IT
DO NOT TAKE STICKY TOO PLEEEEASE
It’s so much worse because Curtain knows all of Sticky’s insecurities from last season and just. AGHHHH.
WHY MUST WE ALWAYS CUT OFF BEFORE WE SEE IF THE HYPNOSIS WORKED. I’M TOO STRESSED FOR THIS.
The Mabel Pines voice is really jumping out now that Number Two is whammied
Ohhhhhh is number two getting whammied what’s going to knock Mr. Benedict out of the hypnosis??? He’s so worried
YEAH, KICK!
It’s really interesting that Mr Benedict has been able to have analytical thought about the hypnosis while he’s in it, like “why am i feeling this way, i feel like i should be fighting this” but other people don’t seem to be able to do that. It might just be for story purposes from the writers, but I wonder if there’s an in-universe reason?
H W A T
WHY ARE YOU SINGING
OH NOW IT’S BOTH OF THEM
WHY ARE WE GETTING THIWHQTTHEFUCJ
This episode is making me question my grasp on reality like none of the other episodes have
WOLVES CBSHFBSHB absolutely roasted
Hugs! Hugs! Hugs! Mr Benedict finally gets a hug~
“Dressed in the faded rags of a hostage” has the same energy as “the clothes of someone who has given up”. Unintentional jillsoncore
She! Requested! Yellow!
Kate not knowing what an alpaca is is really good content, thank you disney
“I know I tease you, Sticky, but the truth is, I enjoy your scientific facts.” Cuteeeeee, I kind of hope once she’s unwhammied she says she meant that even though she was under the happy influence, but she’ll probably just go back to her friendly bullying, which is okay too
Kate and Constance hug Kate and Constance huggggg <3 <3 <3
“She’s an absolute pleasure to be around” Sticky nooo, like I totally get it but nooooo
Oh thank god Sticky didn’t get whammied, I couldn’t have taken that.
Him doing long division in his head to avoid it is precious, he’s so good.
Ahhh it is once again cult leader time. Great.
WAIT IS THAT MISS PERUMAL IN THE BACK
FEAR FEAR FEAR
Uh oh Enzo
Oh that was REALLY fast since we saw him get hypnotized by Auguste like 2 episodes ago. I wonder why it seems to happen at different speeds for different people
Ohhh Curtain seems very shaken by someone else freezing
Lmaooooo J&J’s little super awkward backwards shuffle with the wheelie chair
N I C K Y
N I C K Y
N I C K Y
RED ALERT
OOF.
I’m just buffering over not now nicky
Okay okay back on track
The track I’m back on is adoring Miss Perumal
But also no thanks I cannot take the kids realizing their parents have been whammied
Milligan hugging kate but her expression just stays blank like she’s realizing what has happened uhhhhhh I’m in pain
Constance is just. vibing.
Idk if this is intentional but I love the framing of almost never having Constance and the other three in the same frame in this scene, and the only times they’re in the same frame there’s both a lot of distance between them and a tree splitting the frame between them
No, you DO need Dr. Garrison, because I need the show to bring her back
WAIT YES
I CALLED IT TWO EPISODES AGO, SOMEONE STOLE THE NOTEBOOK
I was wrong on who did it, since I had guessed it would be Constance, but I’m still excited
“Garrison’s proven she can’t be trusted with technology.” HEY. LEAVE MY FAVORITE WOMAN IN STEM ALONE. Haven’t you ever heard of intellectual property?
Uh oh he’s MAD mad
Lmao at Mr. B poking his head up over the window
But also oof now he knows about the people freezing
Jackson and Jillson I’m so sorry you guys cannot catch a singular break
Two people I love with all of my soul but also occasionally fear on deep a primal level
Excuse me Curtain you do NOT get to yell at them
Add J&J to the list of people who deserve post-Curtain therapy (and also to commit physical violence against him, but that’s a given)
LMAO the side eye towards frozen Marlon on “current personnel situation”
I hope Marlon can hear them vagueing him. Get wrecked.
Still going for that promotion, good for you guys
Curtain put your psych 101 “correlation does not equal causation” away, we all know you don’t have a degree.
✨Don’t fucking patronize my blorbos✨
Nooooo the way they both kind of just deflated the second he walked out of the room. Every time we see how scared they are of him I get sad™️.
It’s hard for me not to feel sympathetic for them because it’s framed in a way like they’ve invested so much in him and his methods, and then he’s very threatening and dismissive.
Someone made a comment last season that was something along the lines of “the girls are fightingggggg” and that’s what I think every time they snipe at each other <3
MR BENEDICT AND CONSTANCE HUG!!!
Thank god it’s actually him, I got so scared from the post-trailer discussion
But them them them <3 I’m so glad we got a proper little reunion even though I wish it was longer
“I’ve successfully stolen several items recently” yeah you have! You’re doing great!
I really love scenes where we see the talents of the kids being highlighted, I’ve really been missing that this season
The multitool!!!!!! I still think about Milligan saying “I whittled it. :) for the bucket :)
ASDFGHJKL THE DANCING
Once again feeling like I’m in a fever dream
We’ve got the dorky dancing and then Miss Perumal still looking absolutely STUNNING no matter what
“Where’s my dad? Let’s start with him” <3 <3 <3 <3
Still wondering why Mr. Benedict is capable of rational thought about the happiness but other people don’t seem to be. Maybe just a plot hole but hmmm.
This conversation happening during dancing feels pretty on point for this season
Katie kat!
Constantly torn between how wholesome the interactions are and being horrified that everyone is hypnotized, but I love Milligan and Kate as always
Kate’s lil smile when Milligan gets mad!!!!!!!
Miss Perumal looking STUNNING as ever, I want to dance with her. If she told me to stay and get whammied I would listen to her
Curtain imposing his fashion crimes on everyone else this season can’t touch her, she’s too perfect
SHE’S. VIBING.
“Trust me.” “And I do, with my life.” 🥰🥰🥰
J&J y’all need to run, I fear for your safety once number two gets unwhammied
I’M
WHAT
THEY JUST
HELP THEY STRAIGHT UP TACKLED HIM
HELP
When I said run that is NOT what I meant, but go off I guess uhhhhh
They’ve really been through it this season and I guess this was how those feelings manifested themselves
Rip Jillson’s shoulder
It’s all haha funny until I start thinking about the way he was immediately SO concerned for her
“That was an odd impulse!” WEUHFWIUVBS sir you just got tackled
“She gets a vote now?” Yes she does because she’s perfection personified and everyone needs to respect her more
c o m a e
Mr B looks :( :( so upset :( and it makes me upset
Number two definitely meant removing Curtain from his followers when she said the best way to stop a snake is to chop off its head, and totally doesn’t want to physically start removing Curtain’s limbs
“US” 🥰🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉🎉
Curtain I’m begging you not to look into the camera while doing the hypnosis thing, it’s terrifying
The facade is once again cracking!!
Gotta have one scene every season where Curtain is losing it in front of a mirror
FLOWER DELIVERY
Good, get him
Mr B patting Curtain’s leg when they’re about to drive away is giving me feelings
I love all of the background interactions between the kids and adults
YEAH GOOD DESTRUCTION GOOD JOB MILLIGAN
Tell me why I half expected Jackson and Jillson to both have a sling just to continue the identical vibes
ALL OF THEM SLEEPING IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK OHHH FOUND FAMILY FOUND FAMILY FOUND FAMILY
Wait no no NO NO NO
Like we knew it was gonna happen but FUCK
Okay final thoughts:
Overall, I loved this episode too! I’m finding I’m really liking the later episodes as the plot ramps up and character beats come to a head, but I’ve been enjoying it all. I’m really interested to see how they close things out next episode, and how the hypnosis side effects end up being resolved, especially now that I don’t know if the main group is going to be going back to the compound at all. (J&J call in Garrison please, she can fix this.) And excited to see more character moments especially when people come out of the hypnosis.
Where we’re at right now has me kind of worried for next episode, but I’m trying to stay optimistic. I feel like there are so many loose threads that need tying up, but with the much shorter episodes this season I’m a little worried things are going to feel really rushed next episode and not have very satisfying closures, or some things are just going to get dropped altogether.
But yes very good episode and I’m both excited for the next episode and already sad the season will be over.
#so much of this is just me screaming incoherently and for that i am sorry#and thank you disney for giving me more of my blorbos this season#i am treasuring them#mbsdisney#mbs disney spoilers#mbs s2 spoilers#mbs#mbs liveblog

At it again
I know I already posted a long ramble about @redwingedwhump‘s work but I have a valid reason to do it again... the reason being I wanted to. I’m already a kid knocking on her door asking for candy regardless of Halloween being there or not and she’s not scolding me yet so I shan’t stop.
Anyway.
I’m baffled by the fact that there’s always details I missed when I’m binge-reading so I decided to mention some of my favorite ones.
(and yes I’m paragraphing because I didn’t do it the last time, I was on a mission)
I’ll of course be talking about Captured because San has captured my heart :D (I’ll do a walk of shame for this when I’m finished).
I’ve really gotta get into her other stories but the hyperfixation won’t leave me.
So chapter one. Introducing a powerful guy by mentioning he was in a cheap inn? Love it. They got graphic reports regarding his misdoings? Love me an infamous boi. Straight up getting into business instead of panicking? Hoo, already seeing some character building. “Looked through strands of dark hair” will never not be hot. Black eyes? Thirteen-year-old me is already preparing for a marriage. The only shirt he owns? Might as well go around shirtless, I won’t mind. Collected to the end of the introduction, overall immaculate vibes, no question whether we’re gonna keep reading. He’s already got a smackable personality and face.
Chapter two. Fire’s his usual game huh? Hot. (pun intended) The spark in his eyes, the smile, the taunting... Man I knew straight up I was in for it. The bloody smile? Boy oh boy, Red knew what she was doing. Him being no less intimidating in a muzzle is a supreme skill lads.
Chapter three. A headache, bright and hot sun, a muzzle, manacles, broken ankle, “sack of flower” style of travel? My man’s already having a rough time and he hasn’t even arrived yet. He’s got some hurt pride and he’s good with crowds? Wow, we’re getting to know each other so quickly. A drugged drink? I bet he’s not proud of falling for that. Another attractive picture - Harrow sitting in a bar, drinking brandy and reading. Loving the nightbell lore. Going through this again he just seems so human and touchable. Like he would’ve shown actual gratitude if someone had rescued him. He doesn’t seem like a ruthless killer and torturer.
Chapter four. Harrow getting dragged over the ground? Foreshadowing? :D When he spit in Ard’s face? Iconic, priceless, unforgettable. I also find it hilarious that you free his mouth and the first thing he says is a swear word. Applying a drug with a knife to the tongue? Immaculate. I get exited every time I think of what he would’ve done if he could’ve freed himself then.
Chapter five. He didn’t speak for three days? Now that’s a punishment for him. Am I ever getting over his interaction with Emmet? Nope, nada. The switch between him intimidating Emmet and then being taunted about being alone? *chef’s kiss*
Chapter six. The jeering crowds of townsfolk being a lesser evil before the actual threat in the castle? Me like it. The gate closing behind him was the beginning of it all. The riches and grandeur Harrow will be spending months bleeding underneath? Beautiful. Harrow being objectified like the spoils of a hunt? Not so nice is it bastid boi? Is it weird that I find it nostalgic rereading the first time Conroy blindfolded Harrow? The transition from hot to cold when they reached the cell? Gorgeous. I get whumperflies literally every time I think back to the boot coming off Harrow’s broken ankle. Conroy had him hung, stripped, dug into his burned flesh, sent electricity to his chest and it was their first night together? Jesus, I can’t even explain how strong of an impression the man made and after that he casually went back to supper? Speechless. It’s when the story really began and boy there is no way there’s a single person who wasn’t hooked to the bone.
I can’t actually go over every single chapter cuz this is one looong juicy story but this won’t be my last ramble :D I’ll probably have one for the captivity and one for the aftermath, but we’ll see where the wind blows.

hi babe im back after reading part 13 and i loved it! i know you said you weren't satisfied with it but for me it was perfectly calm and sweet after all that stuff that happened recently! here are some of my fav moments
Idiots.
well said babe!! they don't deserve you
“You didn’t seem okay before you left. Did we– was it too much?”
what the fuck do you think. ugGHHHh
“Fuck,” he mumbles, cupping the back of his neck, he looks up into the dark sky, “you fucking idiot.”
oh! he thinks! 😭
“I’d rather deal with you than love,” you mumble bitterly as you stare at Michael Myers on the TV.
SHE'S SO ME
“You’re not Michael Myers.”
i can imagine the fake disappointment in her voice and the confusion on eddie's face 😭😭
“See, this is why she’s my favorite.”
YASSS I LOVE MAX SO SO MUCH 🫶🫶
He regrets what he did before, what was he thinking?
no bc for real eddie what were you thinking?? (i definitely didn't find the last chapter and the steve eddie sandwich hot)
“You seemed to enjoy kissing him.”
BAHAHA THE EXPOSING
You can’t even help it, you chuckle at his anger, “I fucked two guys at once, one was a guitarist and the other was a drummer, they looked so good and their di–” he cuts you off by smashing his lips against yours, kissing you possessively again.
SHE'S SO SASSY 🫦🫦
“I’m taking Henderson to the mall, he wants to buy some last minute christmas presents,” he chuckles, “do you wanna come with us?”
aww now im in a christmas mood! i also want to buy presents:(
She furrows her brows in confusion, “what do you– oh!” Suddenly, her eyes are wide open and she gasps, cupping her hand over her mouth, “no fucking way,” she mumbles as her facial expression twists into a mortified but amused one.
I LOVE ROBIN THAT WAS LITERALLY MY REACTION TO THE LAST CHAPTER
“Did your boy toys get sick of you?”
im swinging through the screen rn
“You take Eddie and fuck his friends while you’re at it too! First Steve and now Robin too?”
damn wish i had the opportunity to have all 3 😁
“Jesus Christ, girl!” You exclaim, rolling your eyes at her as you finally turn to face her. Her cheeks are red and her eyes are wide open, “shut the hell up,” you mumble in annoyance, “anyone ever tell you that your voice is fucking annoying?”
AAAA I LOVE READER HAHA
“I just want to be free… like you.”
oh wait i feel bad for her kinda
She shrugs, “I’m not proud of it but yeah, I guess so.”
yeah i guess so- GIRL 💀
"Hey," you mumble, "have you ever considered that you might not be into men?" You ask, catching her off guard.
READER IS UNHINGED 😭 i mean good for her but- "hey btw i think you're gay" THAT'S SO ICONIC 😭😭
i think this chapter was absolutely perfect 🫶🫶 also! i just saw your post about witch!reader 👀 i am intrigued... ;) and how are you today? honey anon <3
hi bby🥺 you just put a smile on my face! thank you <3 i’m so happy you liked the new chapter!!! & thank you for the feedback, reading your fave moments always makes me so happy 😭
the disappointment on her face when she said “you’re not michael myers” is so funny to imagine 😂
ALSO YES MAX>>>> she is one of my favorite characters!
“swinging through the screen”😂
omg reader could easily have all 3…..😌
reader just says whatever she wants, she has no filter, especially when it comes to people like chrissy. she really made chrissy think tho, girly spent all night thinking about readers words 😂
and yes omg! i really wanna write something with witch!reader (maybe a fic where she finds powers through her grief after “losing” Eddie…. he is obviously not actually gone)
And i’m good! i finally got starbucks today! how are you, love? 🫶🏻

BBC RADIO 2 BREAKFAST SHOW WITH GARY DAVIES 16.8.2022
GARY: What can I say that my guest this morning? She’s released more than 20 albums, she's written books, appeared in more than 40 stage productions
Over 10 movies, presented and starred in so many TV shows it's impossible to name them all. Toured the world and best of all she's an 80s icon and she's with me right now on Zoom from home - Toyah Willcox. Good morning!
TOYAH: Gary. It's so lovely to see you. My goodness, you are a silver fox!
GARY: (laughs) And you're still a blonde bombshell I'm pleased to see. How are you doing?
TOYAH: I'm really really good. It's been a fantastic year - being able to play live. See my fans again, release new music. It's been very special
GARY: So you come from Small Heath in Birmingham (NB It’s King’s Heath). How proud were you when the Commonwealth Games came to Brum?
TOYAH: I am super proud of Birmingham. The Commonwealth Games was effortlessly perfect. Everyone just did so well. Birmingham as a city did brilliantly and I find Birmingham very exciting in this millennium
I was making a movie in Birmingham on a little back street about 2007 called “Battleship Earth” (she means “Invasion Planet Earth”) and we were suddenly approached by Steven Spielberg, who was shooting a test sequence for one of his movies on this street
And I found out that even Spielberg loves Birmingham, and the thought that the Eurovision Song Contest could come from Birmingham next year! We've got to champion this!
GARY: I think that would be an amazing idea. And listen, you're an outrageous and an adventurous person. What if you represented us in the Eurovision Song Contest?
TOYAH: Oh, that's just too scary -
GARY: C’mon!
TOYAH: You know, Sam, this year, I mean, my goodness! What a superstar!
GARY: And like you’re not? You’re not exactly shy and retiring are you, Toyah?
TOYAH: I'm not shy and retiring and I certainly could give a good match to Norway's usual entries, especially when it comes to costumes, etc etc. I would do it if I was asked. I think this is a competition for young, new, undiscovered brilliant talent. But I would do it
GARY: There's no rules. I think we should put you in the fray. Talk to me about your crazy lunch sessions on YouTube -
TOYAH: Sunday Lunch
GARY: It’s good to see you're not calming down
TOYAH: It's good to see me dressed as well this morning (they both laugh) It started with a 28 second clip I posted in the first three weeks of lockdown two years ago of me teaching my husband Robert Fripp to dance
He can't tell his left foot from his right foot and we got 100,000 responses within five minutes of me posting this on YouTube from people, who were alone in lockdown and saying that we had given them something to smile about and how much they love that clip
And for the last two and a half years we've continued to do it. We now have 110 million hits worldwide. We've even been approached about a movie being made about it -
GARY: Seriously?!
TOYAH: Yeah, and we're taking it on the road in October 2023. It's actually become absolutely epic in our life
GARY: It’s brilliant! I mean your husband, Robert Fripp, his facial expressions - they are mind blowing, just the way he looks. And you. I mean, you should be ashamed of yourself at that age! (jokingly, laughs)
TOYAH: I'm 64 and proud of it
GARY: You look fantastic!
TOYAH: Well, thank you. And as you know, Gary, we remain rockers. Age is just a number. And I love the fact that my husband, who is 76, behaves just as badly as me. He is an absolute rock god, he should be an actor
He's so brilliant and this is why he's on my single “Slave To The Rhythm” because he's a great guitarist. The world knows this. He's played with Bowie, Talking Heads, Blondie. He's even played with The Damned
And of course he has his band King Crimson, but we now have our band, The Posh Pop Three and our first album in August went to number one in about 36 charts. In the main charts, it went to 22. And this has really launched us and it led to me playing the Isle of Wight for the first time ever in my career in June
GARY: I want to talk about that. But I also want to play your new single. It's a cover of Grace Jones’ “Slave To The Rhythm”. I'll play it now and we'll chat about it afterwards, OK?
TOYAH: Thank you!
GARY: Can I introduce it in the style of Grace Jones?
TOYAH: I'd like to hear that
GARY: (does the voice over like in the beginning of the Grace Jones version) Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Toyah Willcox
(Plays “Slave To The Rhythm”)
GARY: Toyah together with Robert Fripp, “Slave To The Rhythm”. That is Toyah’s brand new single and she's with us live on the show this morning. That is so good
TOYAH: Thank you. We wanted something different to the iconic version that Grace Jones did. And we have had Trevor Horn’s blessing. Trevor Horn produced it and my long term writing partner Simon Darlow, who produced this new single … he was kind of the original writer on “Slave To The Rhythm” and I was the demo singer. So this song has one hell of a history and a story not only in my life, but in Grace Jones' life as well
GARY: Are you a big fan of Grace Jones? Have you met her?
TOYAH: Oh, gosh. Talk about about originality!
GARY: Did she inspire you?
TOYAH: Well, actually my career started almost 10 years before Grace’s career (they both laugh) But what I will say is everything she's done is absolute perfection. Perfection in artistic terms and originality and my goodness, she's amazing on stage
GARY: She is, isn't she? So tell me about the new album. When's it coming out?
TOYAH: Well, we have done a reimagining of “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” (above) with Robert Fripp on it, and this single will be on it. Pre-orders (are open) now, (it will be released) 10th of February, but I've got a lot going on before then - I'm touring with Billy Idol and so much more -
GARY: I know! You're so busy! So you've got a tour with Billy Idol in October, which is gonna be brilliant. And then you're off on your Anthem 40 + 1 Tour
TOYAH: Yes, that was supposed to be obviously last year and “Anthem” is my big multi-gold album from 1981 which I'm touring right through September, October into November. And luckily Billy Idol’s arena tour fits perfectly with the “Anthem” tour. So I'm touring two shows at once
GARY: You’re a workaholic, aren’t you?
TOYAH: Well, I'm very, very grateful to see that audience again (laughs)
GARY: Tell me about the Isle Of Wight Festival? So you played it for the first time this year. How was it?
TOYAH: It was absolutely extraordinary because I played the big tent and as I stood in the wings waiting I thought a few thousand people will come in, but the crowds just came and came and they were just ramming that tent
And I think we had about 12,000 people crammed into that tent and people who couldn't get in. And I have a 45 year career with 28 albums to fit into a set. That's a lot to do - and 15 hit singles. So I cherry-picked right from the punk moments through to the present day. We even did “Slave To The Rhythm” and it was magnificent
GARY: I've got a few messages coming in here. Trish says good morning, Toyah. I've been a huge fan all my years. I still love your “Anthem” album. Loved you at The Rebellion -
TOYAH: Rebellion was amazing! On the promenade at Blackpool
GARY: Richard in Tamworth says please tell Toyah my 13 year old son Fraser saw her on Saturday night and she now has a new fan. He loved her and said her ending was awesome
TOYAH: Well, I would like to send my love to that brilliant audience. They were out there in 37 degree heat. 10,000 people absolutely loving the music. Thank you Tamworth
GARY: Amazing. I've got to ask you about the movie “Give Them Wings”, which is coming out. And it's based on an incredible true story, isn't it?
TOYAH: This is the story of Paul Hodgson, who when he was very young, he contracted meningitis and became paraplegic. His mother was called Alice and she looked after him til she had a stroke. Then Paul looked after her and he was lost in the system. He didn't get any help. So this is a true story
It's released now, we finished it just a month before lockdown. I've been nominated by the best critics award for the Richard Harris Festival as the surprise actress of the season for my role as “Alice” (Toyah with the director Sean Cronin (on the right) and Bill Fellows who plays Norman Hodgson, below) It’s a phenomenal story
GARY: You a play his mother?
TOYAH: Yes, I play his mother and believe it or not as sad and as crazy as this story is - because he is a Darlington football fan and he used to go to the football in his wheelchair and he would chant obscenities at the opposition
He even used to get beaten up and he'd still be shouting obscenities at the opposition. Paul Hodgson is still with us. He's a brilliant, brilliant script writer. And he's just the most amazing man and he will sit in his wheelchair and tell you like it is
GARY: Still shouting obscenities! Love it!
TOYAH: He tells people the truth!
GARY: Trevor in Eastborne says I was lucky to see Toyah at the Isle of Wight. She was amazing! Gave a great performance. James in Northern Ireland: Toyah played at the Let's Rock Festival here and her and her band were fantastic, Toyah rocked and she jumped about just like she's a teenager … I’ve just had a text saying - is it true? You're on The Archers this week?!
TOYAH: Yes! (they both laugh)
GARY: How was that?!
TOYAH: It was fabulous! We recorded it at The Archers studio in Birmingham. I was on with the icon called Pat. I was there with all the characters, loving every moment of it and I can't tell you the storyline but it's so funny
GARY: Listen, I can't tell you what a pleasure it has been to have you on the show this morning. I love the fact that you grow old disgracefully. Long may it continue. Her new single “Slave To The Rhythm” is out now and you can get tickets for Anthem 40 +1 Tour and you can catch her on The Archers! Thank you, Toyah!
TOYAH: Thank you, Gary! Thank you, everybody!
