Mason Mount Imagine | five
Author’s note: Something super random I wrote the other day after seeing Calvin Harris post about “One kiss”, his song with Dua Lipa, and remembering what the lyrics say. Wasn’t going to post it today, but yeah, why not? 😅 Hope you like it! 💜
Little summary: You are a Dj, and the host of the radio show where you are being interviewed gets Mason on it. That leads to you playing at a Chelsea party, and meeting with him again, this time in person. (Female reader/pov)
Masterlist 
Tumblr media
"Changing the topic a bit, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you are a Chelsea fan, aren't you?"
"I am, yes. My dad bought me a shirt the moment he found out my mum was pregnant."
"Oh wow" Rich laughs. "Are you ready for the Champions League final?"
"Kind of. Thinking about it makes me nervous but also so excited."
"Will you be attending the game?"
“I wish" I sigh. "I have a show in Germany that night. If there is extra time, I will miss it."
"So they better win on the 90 minutes."
"Yes, please. Do it for me" I chuckle.
"Any favourite player?"
"Oh, I'm gonna be very original with my answer... Mason Mount."
"He's hot, isn't he?"
"Don't go there, Rich" I laugh while giving him a murderous look.
"Ok, ok" he replies. "But I'm glad you said his name, because we actually have him on the other side of the phone. Morning, Mason Mount."
"Good morning, Rich" he says. "How are you, man?"
"Oh, shit" I say under my breath. 
"I'm good, thank you. So, Mase, I believe you are a big fan of our guest today."
"I am, yes."
“Thank you” I say.
"Do you guys play her songs in the changing room?" Rich asks.
"We do, yes. Especially when we need to be motivated, they are the best."
"Any favourite one?"
"Personally... "One kiss". Love the rhythm, and your voice sounds amazing."
"Thank you" I say again, my cheeks starting to feel a bit warm.
"It is a very sexy song. And so is the music video. Have you watched it?"
"I have" Mason says. 
"Any favourite scene? I really like it when you sing "I just wanna feel your skin on mine, feel your eyes do the expexploring" while looking straight into the camera. Felt things there."
"Richard!" I laugh.
"What about you, Mase?"
"I liked the whole thing."
"Oh... Got it" Rich laughs. "Have you guys ever met? Follow each other on Instagram? Slided into the other's dms?"
"So noisy, Richard" I laugh. "We follow each other, but that's all."
"Then we need to do something about that! Mase, if you win the Champions League, you must convince Chelsea to have her play at your party."
"I'll try. That would atually be really cool."
"What do you say?Are you up for it?" Rich asks me.
"I would love that, yes" I say. "Now you just have to win, Mason."
"We'll try" he laughs. "And on the 90 minutes."
"Perfect" I smile.
"Mase, bro. Thank you very much for these 5 minutes, we really appreciate it" Rich says.
"Of course, bro."
"Good luck on the final" I say.
"Thank you very much" he replies.
"Mason Mount, ladies and gentlemen!" Rich adds.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━        
"That was smooth" I say once the radio show is over.
"What do you mean?" Rich asks.
"Playing matchmaker with me and Mount?"
"I wasn't doing that."
"Of course not, Rich" I say, rolling my eyes.
"Ok, fine, maybe a bit. But it's because I think you would make a really nice couple. And you do find him hot."
"Whatever. I just hope we aren't on all the headlines tomorrow."
"I can already see it. The dj and the football star, flirting live on the radio" he laughs.
"Exactly" I say, elbowing him on the ribs.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━        
"You won't believe who just called" my agent says.
"I'm all ears."
"Chelsea."
"Who?" I ask while looking for a sweatshirt on my wardrobe. 
"The football team, you silly! They want you to play at the private party they are throwing to celebrate the Champions League!"
"Really?"
"Yep! Looks like Mount did as he promised..."
"Yeah" I say, focusing on finding that damn sweatshirt to keep me from thinking too much about it. About Mason asking his team to have me at their party.
"Maybe he fancies you."
"Mason Mount? Fancying me?" I snort. 
"Yes, you. You would make a really nice couple, you know."
"Don't be like Rich, please."
"I don't know what you are talking about. But we better find you a good outfit, you must look hotter than ever."
"Why?"
"Just in case..." my agent smirks.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━        
"This song goes for the goal scorer" I say, the first notes of "One Kiss" starting to play. 
While everyone starts cheering and singing, I look for Mason among the crowd. 
🎶 And I know that you'll still wanna see me
On the Sunday morning, music real loud
Let me love you while the moon is still out 🎶
When I finally spot him, he is smiling, his eyes fixed on me. I smile back, and he raises his glass, starting to sing the chorus of the song.
🎶 One kiss is all it takes
Falling in love with me
Possibilities
I look like all you need 🎶
After that, I have to look down, my cheeks burning. But my moment of shyness doesn't last long. When the next verse starts, I look for him again, meeting his eyes and now being the one who is singing, a cocky smile on his face while he watches me.
🎶 I just wanna feel your skin on mine
Feel your eyes do the exploring
Passion in the message when you smile
Take my time
Something in you lit up heaven in me
The feeling won't let me sleep
'Cause I'm lost in the way you move, the way you feel 🎶
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━        
"Someone wants to meet you."
"Who?" I ask while I get changed.
"The goal scorer" my agent says with the biggest grin. 
"Mason?"
"Yep. Do I ask him to come in?"
"I..." I say, looking around the little room Chelsea set for me to use as a dressings room. It is a mess. "I guess. But wait."
"What?"
"How do I look?"
"Gorgeous" my agent winks before leaving.
"Ok" I say to myself while taking deep breaths. Why am I this nervous? He is just a guy. One to whom I basically sang that I want to have sex with him, but just a guy.
"That was an amazing show."
"Oh shit!" I jump. 
"I'm sorry, I should have knocked before coming in."
"No, it's ok, it's ok" I smile. "I was just... Thinking."
"About anything in particular?" Mason asks with a cheeky smile.
"Just one song that I didn't sound like I wanted" I lie.
"Well, like I said... That was amazing, I loved it. And so did everyone else."
"Thank you, it means a lot. And congratulations on winning the Champions League."
"Thank you" he smiles. "And since we are thanking things, thank you for dedicating me my favourite song."
"Oh, that was nothing" I say with a nervous laugh.
"I think it actually was something" he says, taking a few steps forward towards me.
"What do you mean?"
"I just wanna feel your skin on mine, feel your eyes do the exploring”. You sang that to me."
"Did I?" I gulp.
"Yep" he says, licking his lips and making me feel... Things, like Rich said on the radio.
"I was... I just..."
"You..." he says, now standing very close to me.
"It's just a song" I shrug.
"One that you wrote."
"Yes."
"And is it true what it says? That one kiss is all it takes to fall in love with you?"
"I..." 
"I want to see if it's true" Mason whispers while his thumb caresses my cheek.
"You... Do?"
"I do" he whispers again, his lips almost touching mine. "And then..."
"And then?" I ask. 
"Might need your company tonight" he smiles, quoting another verse of the song before finally kissing me.

My Mary-Ace Merrill propaganda is working~💗💖💗💖
GOD PLEASE IF YOU EVER WANNA TALK MORE ABOUT THE GIRLIES BEING FRIENDS PLEAAAASE!! I love genderfluid Ace and it's something so strangely personal to me and so sweet and he's sooo fruity and I'm sure Nancy would adore her very strange, literal queer, of a boyfriend-girlfriend.🥺🥺
Ace: Shut up Nancy! Go water the garden with your cloudy eyes why don't you! Rain floods pouring in from NANCY!!"
Mary: Ohhh shh, shh!! It's Okey! I-i used to cry a lot to when I was little! I was real bad about biting my cheeks so I didn't make sounds...bleed right in my mouth! ....oh Nancy, Nancy, it's Okey dear, come on, shh...
Ace: ....Nancy, look...go...just...Nancy go away.
Mary: Oh Nancy, ma..maybe not today i-im sick with a cold- NO! ahah, n-no don't come over I don't need soup, spring floral cold is all...
Ace: here, don't, I repeat. Don't. You. Dare. Say a word miss water works, could power so much with your damn eyes...
Mary: ...Nancy? Can...here, for, being so...sweet and friendly to me all the time, you make me feel like a real girl! -o-oh you know, somtimes a girl just doesn't feel herself is all!!
Ace: fine you can come over but do NOT go into my bedroom, or the guest room, and if you do, ask me, and do NOT open the clothes hampers or my closet understand!?
Mary: Ace isn't home! Oh yeah, I take over the guest room! But he let's me keep stuff in his room too! Awwee he, he canceled date night? Ohh...oh- OH! i-i-i can call him! He didn't Janelle he just isn't here, oh i-im sorry I'm sure he forget, Ace is forgetful...why don't I take you out! I-im no, boy or Ace, but a girls dated i-i mean a a....well why not a show and soda?
Ace: .....Nancy, I....I'm gonna go out today, but... you can...wander around today if you'd like, the house, its...free now, do your girlie snooping.
Ace: .....Surprise?? ...i..got flowers incase you hate me- you don't? ....wlel kf xource I thought you'd hate me, I'm some queer fairy playing dress up! - YOU KNEW?! oh..date..night, y-yeah guess..and the fact you don't see us together, man your really smart remind me to never skip our anniversary or try and cheat on you💖💗💖 little miss garden detective...why that? Well...you cry and flowers need water, and flowers are jn gardens, and well...your like a detective with...connecting dots- it's bad I'm sorry...

Richard and Nancy would do anything for their gal in making her feel safe and happy- Nancy being sweet and hanging out with her and Eyeball literally ready to throw fists at any comment or catcall thrown Mary's way.
"remind me to never skip our anniversary or try and cheat on you💖💗💖" THE WAY I CACKLEDDD
The way Ace slowly starts letting his guard down around Nancy and getting more comfortable with her learning about when she's Mary just made me... JUST PLUCK AT MY HEARTSTRINGS LIKE A HARP WILL YOU 😫
Im not normal about this anymore and it's plaguing my mind 👁👁

BAC: SECOND VIEWING NOTES!
Yeah i went again on sunday and really wanted to cry after because it's over forever Q_Q i am inconsolable but for the fact that there may be a halloween party... but uhhhhhhh anyway here's what I noticed this time!!
(also here's the notes from my first time for reference [x])
Ad libs:
Final show energy & lots of ad libs! Which were apparently real unscripted ad libs!! A lot of them were just little things (so I can't recount most of them) but they were very very good. the blorbos became real people for a second there
When Rich is looking for Mountain Dew Red at the party, Jenna appears and says "I have Mountain Dew Blue?" and he explodes at her (possibly "Not now, Jenna!")
When Christine and Jeremy talk together at the party, they're sitting on beanbags; after they get scared off by the skeleton guy, they're laughing and crawling back to their seats - Christine, through laughter: "oh where's the beanbag...."
Changes (?)
VIMH: Rich: "The ladies are gonna get to know the real Richard Goranski... And the dudes." Then he stares into the distance for like 30 seconds (a very long time), making calculating gestures in the air (like the woman with math meme) before going "Oh. My god............... I am totally bi!"
Maybe wrong, but I swear there was a wind part added to the middle of Michael in the Bathroom??? I thought it might be a flute or digital flute..... but as a flautist I might be projecting.....
The Play: Multiple thin green lights flickered down on people as they got squipped, with a cute video game chime sound. But fairly certain this was always there and I just noticed it this time lmao
Smartphone Hour: Background acting on the little platform at the very back of the stage: a scooby-doo esque chase sequence where a firefighter rushes on from SR and disappears SL (implied Jake's house is SL); the fireman reappears with Jake in his arms and runs back SR to safety. Then Jake runs back across to get something from his house and the fireman is trying to stop him. Then Jake runs back out of the house holding a teddy bear he saved from the fire; the fireman is chasing him back out of the house. It was fucking hilarious 10/10 especially because I couldn't be sure if it was a new addition or if I just completely filtered it out last time like a basketball gorilla dslfjdslfk
Also on Jake: between the teddy bear and the Upgrade scene (also detailed by Dani) where he's talking about archery while holding a plush duck - unsure dramaturgically if it's supposed to be a real dead duck or a toy, but anyway.... Jake who likes stuffies??? IDK if I buy it but I don't know enough about Jake to NOT buy it and its also a very fun headcanon I think so it's going on the pile for me. he can collect plushies with jeremy as far as im concerned dsljfsdkfjs
Oh yeah Jeremy also had a big white duck plush on his bed. edit: this is actually a seagull plush! Its name is Katie and it belongs to stage crew member Anya!
More details I saw this time
General
Christine actor was actually amazing she has this giggly honk voice she uses when being like obnoxiously loud and silly and idk how to describe it but such intense LOUD SILLYGIRL ENERGY. A little different than the chris im used to and it was fun to see another version of her!!
Maybe I'm insane but I think Christine also pronounced Jeremy kinda like 2 syllables (Jare - me). This extremely slight difference somehow led to me perceiving her singing "Is he worth it? Germyyyyyyy!" IDK Sorry Jaclyn if you are reading this ldksfjdlsk
Lots of times when Jeremy is talking about becoming cool he does little hip gyrations (think Rich at the urinal i guess but more subtle)
Jeremy does this thing where he holds his hand bent stiff with his fingers all together and taps hard on his right temple to express some kind of frustration with the SQUIP- e.g. when he's trying to get the SQUIP to turn on after the first day; during the end of the Halloween party, etc. Actually it very much has the same conceptual energy as "C'c'c'come on....." now that I think about it
Michael blows a cloud of smoke during a few of his entrances (MTS and maybe Halloween - or that was Dustin maybe)
He also uses a vape pen I think? When he says 'we gotta get stoned in my basement'
Preshow montage
Before the show, there's a montage of screenshots from the teens' lives on the back wall --- that is, their selfies and their text convos. Pretty sure the texts were that gossip submitted by fans? I only remember two:
"i heard that guy who wears hoodies all the time only listens to weezer" <- (I only noticed this one 'cause it KILLED ME honestly I feel like Jeremy would love Weezer and Michael would hate it sdjkfljdsf ) edit: this text was submitted by @/thesquirrelqueer!
I don't remember who was on which side, but Brooke or Chloe sending Chloe or Brooke a big comforting text after her breakup and making plans to go get ice cream I think?
MTS
"Dad haven't you ever heard of privacy?" He says this while putting on his belt after the opening.
Jeremy's actually gesturing towards his locker for like the entire conversation between Brooke, Chloe, Jenna; when they notice him finally it kinda looks like he's just pointing at them and that's part of why they think he's weird I think?
M: "Humanity has stopped evolving!" Jeremy then takes like 20 seconds of looking confused before going (approximately) "is that supposed to be good...?"
"Christiiiiiine Canigula!" Each Christine section he eventually (around 3rd time) starts using this fanboy totally-losing-his-mind-over-this voice which is REALLY hard to describe but i'll try: like lower & less articulate, like how it sounds when you raise your soft palate (?), and going up at the end kind of laugh-like like he's really excited. (For a bmc reference maybe sounds a little like will roland's tone in i even got some blood flowing / with no computer screen around). Anyway i'm not gonna lie it did make him sound really lame jsdlkfjdsf
"Why can't someone just help me out?" As Jeremy sings this bridge it's all dark except for a light on him. Students line up chairs behind him and sit down. At this line, two guys walk forwards on either side and touch his shoulders (looking kind of solemn / sympathetic) , and guide him back to sit in the chair in the middle. Then the lights come up on everyone and more group choreo wheeee
Post-ILPR MTS reprise
Christine: "Sorry, Jeremy, did you say something?" -> after this scene, she runs off giggling loudly, apparently glad to not be interrupted and VERY visibly excited about Jake asking her out
Jeremy sings "I don't wanna be special / Don't even want to survive...." (Instead of usual "Don't even need to survive.") Not sure if it was intentional but it happened at both shows I saw and made me sad both times noooooo........... guy...........
Squip song
Rich actually rubs his hands all over Jeremy's face (in addition to his arms)
"Top secret can't even look it up on the internet type shit": Rich looks to the side and mimes a rectangle (computer screen) then mimes typing where the keyboard would be
2PG
"I don't want that to be my future! Sad, and alone, and ... " - The music cuts out at "sad" instead of at the beginning of this line.
On their relationship in general, I think Michael irritates Jeremy more than fanon typically has it lol. Very excitable Michael who kinda lacks volume control (in several scenes - including VIMH even after Jeremy tells him to be quieter). Constructive interference of autism etc etc
(Again fun to see this!! as a jeremy stan i am definitely guilty of making michael a godlike perfect friend to jeremy and like.. no... they don't actually mesh that well even just in the script!! Often times Jeremy doesn't understand or care about the things Michael says. So yeah absorbing this into my headcanons now thank you)
Also back wall was this like vaporwave looking low-poly 2 person first person shooter game footage (think wolfenstein but with a very different aesthetic - purple and blue, and i think with some objects depicted in mesh).
BMC P1
When Jeremy's spasming on the ground (last time I thought he looked mostly in pain - this time he was vibrating a bit more like he lost muscle control) - local build-a-bear employee Jared Kleinman (JARED KLEINMAN...) and some other people start filming him.
Jared keeps filming him through the scene until SQUIP: "All they see is you having an animated conversation... with yourself." Jeremy turns and notices him; Jared doesn't stop filming but just waves at him nonchalantly (in a mocking way like hey buddy welcome back to reality)
Jared also has a BaB apron and BaB backpack on (or a bear sticking out of his backpack i dont remember). Pretty sure he also had a bear with him in another scene, probably Halloween?
"Lookin pretty sexy, brooke" -- says it in like a low Elvisy voice (like will connolly)
BMC P2
"Everything about you is going to be wonderful" -- Jeremy rolls up his cardigan sleeves so they're just below the elbow. (One of them slipped back down and he put it up again but I didnt think it was intentional lol). I was surprised how much instantly cooler that made him look but maybe that's just because my older brother wears his sleeves like that ljdsfkdsfklsfdlk
......also note that MICHAEL usually wears his sleeves rolled up like that in this production.... inch resting.....
MTS reprise
When the lights first come up, Jeremy is snoring with his head hanging off the side of the bed. He stops breathing for a second, then jerks awake.
GTIKBI
Chris: "I know you and Jake used to date...." Chloe and Brooke simultaneously go "Oh my god, no!!!" --- Chloe to Christine (mockingly), meanwhile Brooke is unrelatedly browsing her phone and says it in distress because she (implied) has just seen that Eminem died. As convo continues, Brooke sits next to another student (Leo Collins?) and shows them the article. (She still says 'yeah jake is so gross' to Chloe, just sounding upset)
Upgrade
I ALREADY SAID THIS BUT JEREMY AND BROOKE WERE SO CUTE TOGETHER JLKSDFLDFSJ. I decided to only watch them during this song (/ _ \) Based on their acting when they walked near the stage stairs, they had climbed to the back of the bleachers and were walking precariously on the outside of the railing - specifically, they went over the stair railings - first Brooke and she teeters a bit and jokingly pretends like she's gonna fall off; Jeremy goes under the rail, comes up on the other side and does a gesture like *tada!*. Then they sit down together and are talking and its just really cute. making me ship puppy love over here jdsifojdslkfdjsflk
Halloween
Michael was at the dance in costume - during a certain point (I think right before Rich starts losing it) Michael gets lost out of the group choreo, seems to be stressed out and runs off stage (presumably to the bathroom)
One of the guys is dressed up like Guy Fieri and it's really good. Like I remember last time I even had a moment where I realized I was interpreting this actor as playing The Real Guy Fieri At Jake's Halloween Party. Also in MITB he uses his hat (which is a combo of visor and fake hair) to knock on the door.
DYWH
Chloe: "...rock this baby fast asleep" then, laughing: "Goo goo ga ga!!" and she kinda topples onto him. The actress said she got this from the West End production!
When Jeremy says "I can't stand up." It was kind of implied it's because he has an erection not because his legs are frozen; right before this line he stands up then sits down and puts a pillow in his lap. Either way though ig it was still the SQUIP stopping him (S: "you're welcome.")
GTIKBI reprise
as Dani pointed out, Christine was sitting kinda numbly on the beanbag with headphones on; she takes them off when Jeremy starts talking to her.
Voices in my Head
Jeremy's wearing an X-Men shirt!
Re: expensive headphones - Michael's rubbing Rich's shoulders (???) when he says "I'm sure someone would be lucky to have you" (and then of course he still says but not meeeee while sending him flying)
"Throw you a rope home slice if you need some dope advice" Jake fist bumps with Jeremy (or equivalent gesture i dont remember)
Stagedorks kiss: after C says yes, they walk to the center of the stage. Jeremy rushes forwards and puts his hands on her cheeks (i think?) to pull her into a kiss. They separate, beat, then Christine goes forwards again and they have a long slow kiss while the ensemble keeps dancing and singing around them.
Not intentional i dont think but Patrick the Jeremy actor was crying a bit at the end /( T_ T \ )
OK YEAH i might add more to this if I remember and/or edit it back into the first post...... but hope that was fun to read????

— that's my wife • bill skarsgård
pairing: husband!Bill x wife!reader
summary: a man in the club thinks it a fun idea to harass you. What he didn't know was, your husband was right there to remind him his rightful place.
warning: harassment, language, anger | älskling = darling in swedish
note: don't hate. Just don't.
DON'T COPY/STEAL. NOT COOL
Tumblr media
"You sure you're gonna stay here?" You pouted at your husband who was currently sitting on the bar stool with a glass of whiskey is his hands.
"No, älskling have fun. I'll just watch my gorgeous wife," Bill winked blowing you a kiss.
You nodded with a smile, stepping on the dance floor. There was "On the floor" by Jennifer Lopez was playing that really made you feel the beats and your hips and body began moving in sync.
Bill watched with heart eyes as you poured your heart out in your every move. Loving the way your hair bounced with your movements, the dress you wore perfectly accented our curves.
But the thing he loved the most was the diamond ring shining on your left hand ring finger. That ring reminded Bill everyday that you were his. That he was lucky enough to call you, a piece of art his wife. He knew he could never loose you not even in his dreams. You were his for eternity. And there was nothing that'd make him want to change things from the way that they are.
A call from his manager made him stand in a secluded area. He had to take it. When he came back, a man was dancing danced around you politely as everyone else was. Bill didn't see anything out of the ordinary. But he kept out an eye on the two of you. He had a feeling that guy near you did not have the best of intentions.
You still danced your heart out, moving your hips from side to side. Everything was going great untill the man's hand landed on your ass. You jerked away from him, anger burning in your eyes.
"The hell? Get away from me you perv!" You shouted angrily over the loud music. The man wore a disgusting look in his eyes that made you want to break his nose. And frankly you should but not wanting to cause a scene, you thought better of it.
"Now now, Doll. Don't pretend you didn't liked our little dance." You were getting more and more infuriated by this bastard. You lifted your left hand, showing him the diamond ring.
"See that, you asshole? That is an engagement ring and that means I'm married. Now fuck off!"
Meanwhile, Bill had come forward and was standing behind the man so that he was facing you.
"Let's forget about your husband, huh saxy mamá? Me and you—" Richard was cut off by Bill grabbing him by the collar.
He turned the guy around. Bill, with his tall stature looked down upon him with angry eyes. If looks could kill, that guy would have been buried 100ft by now.
"Watch your fucking mouth!"
"What the fuck? Put me down!" The man squirmed in his hold. Bill had lifted him off the ground by a few centimetres.
"THAT IS MY WIFE. Get lost before shit turns serious," Bill threatened with gritted teeth finally releasing his hold on his collar. The man fell down and straight up bolted for the door.
Bill returned to his normal loving self ina second and pulled you in for a hug. You breathed in the all familiar smell of his cologne and relaxed in his arms.
"You okay, Y/n? That ass didn't do anything right?" He asked, frantically looking all over you for any sign that said otherwise.
"No. I'm good. Let's go back home. That dick ruined the night," you said in a soft tone.
Bill put his arm around your shoulder and kissed your forehead, rubbing your arms up and down, comfortingly.
"No matter, baby. I'll make it up you," Bill sweetly.

do you maybe have a post somewhere that is a quick rundown on history of the band? (THE band) wanted to fully appreciate your new story, but have no idea where to get some coherent lore 🤍
ok thank you anon, this is a very reasonable question which i also find quite intimidating lol. i will TRY to attempt the history up to the point of the story in a way that's not just recapitulating the wikipedia page...
so the reason they were called the band was that they were the backing band for a number of different artists before they started recording their original songs. all five members (the drummer levon helm who was from rural arkansas, and the guitarist robbie robertson the bassist rick danko the organist garth hudson the pianist richard manuel who were all from various parts of ontario) came together between 1958 and 1960 as the backing band for a rockabilly guy named ronnie hawkins, an arkansas native who was huge in toronto for some reason. there are some "my mom sold me to ronnie hawkins" elements of the narrative (according to levon's memoir robbie's mom was like "my son can play guitar and write songs... i'm worried he's gonna end up in jail... can't he play with you or something..." he was fifteen years old). so they toured as ronnie's backing band throughout ontario and then throughout the south. this went on for several years during which they all became very strong players.
in late 1963 they had broader musical horizons and had had enough of ronnie telling them they couldn't smoke weed so they decided to go it on their own as levon and the hawks, because levon had the longest tenure in the band. they honestly struggled on their own at first to the extent that they were stealing food from supermarkets but eventually found their footing RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME that bob dylan was looking for an electric band to back him after the notorious newport folk festival 1965. bob went to see the hawks in toronto and asked levon and robbie to join his band; they did for a couple shows and then said they didn't want to do any more without the rest of their band and bob agreed and hired the rest of the hawks too. people were NOT FANS of dylan's new electric direction and they were booed during most of their sets. after about a month of this levon couldn't take it anymore and left in the middle of the night with the rough idea to work on an oil rig in the gulf of mexico. he only told robbie he was leaving and they each describe this moment fairly differently in their respective memoirs ...
so the rest of the band continued backing bob on a world tour in 1966 and some of them went to nashville with him to record blonde on blonde. in summer 1966 bob has a motorcycle accident and holes himself up in the town of woodstock, on the edge of the catskills in ulster county in the hudson valley in new york state, where he owns a house and so does his manager albert grossman. the band continues backing various other artists and session playing etc. but in february 1967 bob invited them to come up to woodstock. they took him up on the offer and three of them (rick, richard, and garth) moved into the house called big pink in west saugerties. for months robbie and bob came over every day and they recorded the basement tapes. around this time albert grossman managed to get the band a deal with capitol records. with this news they convinced levon to come back from the gulf...
so THAT is the simplified history up to the point of the story. the relevant history AFTER the point of the story which of course motivates how we now look at this moment in time is that levon completely excoriates robbie in his memoir (published in the 90s) for 1) being authoritarian over the direction of the band starting in the woodstock era, including the decision to end the band in 1976, and 2) taking sole songwriting credit and therefore making the most money for most of the music when levon contends a lot of the songs especially on the first two albums were written collaboratively. my perspective is that robbie can be forgiven for #1, because the rest of the band were increasingly using heroin, everybody was getting into numerous debilitating car accidents from constantly driving drunk, and other bad behavior abounded. and i think #2 is interesting, because 1) this is a larger conversation over who owns what and who gets paid for making art, and 2) i can also understand why, if nobody else could get their shit together to do anything, you would be like, well, i should reap all the fruits of my labors. but 3) i can also understand why you would be especially upset by this if you were the voice behind all these songs and had once been the bandleader! levon's memoir is really interesting (full disclosure i actually haven't read robbie's) because it is at times like a heartbreaking sketch of willful male emotional blindness. he admits many times "well, probably we should have talked about this" but they never did...
there's a lot more painful stuff we can dig into but here's their first album music from big pink and their second album the band. TO NOTE: levon, richard, and rick did almost all the singing, they each have quite distinctive lovely voices. something really excruciating and tantalizing to me i guess is captured in the idea of a person from toronto writing these beautiful americana songs about simple country mountain life for his friend who had actually lived that simple country mountain life to sing, like this gesture of genuine admiration and love for your friend's story, which is then haunted by the question of ownership of those songs for all time. you can believe robbie wrote those songs for levon to sing out of genuine friendship and then what happened is really heartbreaking.... or you can believe he was a sort of pretender after levon's story and purposefully never gave him credit... which is also a deeply poetic narrative... or it could be a little bit of both... or first one and then the other growing out of bitterness... we will never know. as always when we will never know there is lots of room to ruminate :)
lastly, here is a clip of them in 1976 from the film of the band's last concert (the last waltz) in which levon takes his own cigarette out of his mouth to light robbie's first

This is incredibly random but I rewatched Hairspray today and did I just fall in love with a character called corny collins 🤣 😂 but seriously though James Marsden is so pretty I may have to go watch everything he's ever been in, I don't understand how disney hasn't cast him as a knight in shining armour, I haven't seem him in many things but even his characters seem so pure and lovely like corny collins, tom wachowski aka donut lord, Richard from superman returns maybe I'm projecting his characters' qualities onto him (and his face certainly helps 🤣) but I now have the opinion that this man is an angel 😇
AHHHH girl, I will gush over James Marsden with you ANY DAY. I am surprised it took you so long to discover him, and via Hairspray of all places. (LOL.) But I happily welcome you to the James Marsden Appreciation Club, and would gladly point out the other places you could enjoy the glory that is him.
I LOVE THAT LITTLE BEAN. Let me count the ways:
James Marsden Appreciation Post
Tumblr media
He has been around forever, but he has consistently come off as a sweet guy both on and off screen.
He has such an underrated pretty face, with lovely bone structure and blue eyes. He could totally pass for an Tolkien Elf with that bone structure. (Controversial fancast, if James were younger: Eärendil??) And his smile... oh that smile... it's pure sunshine.
If you've seen the right movies of him, he's actually so freakin' talented; he can handle heavy roles as well as goofy comedy.
He does not take his career too seriously. He has done a LOT of work in kids' movies, and celebs who take on projects for kids have a special place in my heart. (e.g. Hop, Sonic, My Little Pony, and I even heard he's gonna be in the next Paw Patrol movie)
Disney has made him a prince: Prince Edward from Enchanted-- and he did it so wonderfully too! I loved him more than the "real" leading man, Patrick Dempsey.
You nailed it by saying most of his characters are so pure; it's true for most of the stuff I've seen from him, and I think it's just because of the aura he gives off. He is also known as being the "guy who never gets the girl", due to his roles as the jilted lover in "Superman Returns" and "The Notebook".
If you want to swoon, watch "The Best of Me" (Nicholas Sparks adaptation)--too cheesy for my taste, but it was worth it to see James in a romantic lead (and showing off his muscles--haha!)
He played one of my favorite superheroes--Scott Summers aka Cyclops from the X-Men! Unfortunately, imho they did a piss-poor job on his character, and really did him dirty in favor of Wolverine. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed seeing him in that role.
He has such adorkable comedic charm. I'm not a fan of stoner comedies, so I haven't seen those works of his, but he did Seasons 6-7 of 30 Rock, where he was utterly adorkable.
The man can SING. Like, seriously blow your socks off SING. He showed it off clearly in Hairspray and in Enchanted. I would love to see him in more musicals or Disney animated films. Please watch link below for proof.
youtube
James is the only reason why I am tempted to watch Westworld, despite hearing that it could be too depressing/dark for my taste. I also want to check out Jury Duty, his most recent tv work.
Any other James lovers, please feel free to chime in regarding thoughts or anything I might have missed! <3

Nurse to Doctor
Richard Trager x fem!reader
Word Count: 1.9k
Warnings: kidnapping, religious father martin stuff, trager being trager, the reader kind of plays into his fucked upness a bit. If you are reading this i’ve assumed you’ve played outlast so yeah general warnings with the games stuff as well 
Author’s Note: really on a roll with these fucked up guys huh…maybe i'm just prepping to get to eddie gluskin because that's....that's gonna be the one
Summary: You get captured by Trager in Mount Massive when you went in for Miles. You get to leave with all your body parts. 
I don’t own these characters. They belong to author/director/creator
(not my gif)
Tumblr media
You could feel your sweat against the back of your neck, cold and suffocating. You had your head leaning against the back of the wall as you sat, knees up to your chest, trying to make yourself as small as possible. You hoped that any variants that saw you would just run right past you. Some of them seemed to be in the same predicament. Caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time and now had to pay the price for it. 
You shouldn’t have come. When Miles had told you he had a scoop he wanted to come, naturally. You told him you would just go and scope the place out, see if they would let an unsuspecting lady inside. They hadn’t. You broke in, just to see what the hell had gone on. You would’ve called Miles had you had any service but you figured you could just give it a look. 
Now you were here, surrounded by insane men, not sure what you were going to do to get out. The windows were barred. If you could just make it to a door leading outside, maybe you could jump a fence or something. It might take some climbing but you could do it. 
The very thought of Miles coming to get you made you worried. You needed to talk to him before he got any stupid ideas. You had your camera. If you didn’t make it out, hopefully he found it and used it. 
You clutched it to your chest, closed your eyes tightly, sliding up the wall. You had to keep moving. You weren't sure what level you were on. The hospital was massive, spanning for what felt like miles. You felt like you had gone up and down so many flights of stairs that you honestly weren’t sure which one you had landed on. 
At least this floor had most of the lights on. Some were completely engulfed in darkness. You had been stuck in the sewers for a while and were more than happy to be in what seemed to be a sick ward or something. There were beds lined up along the walls in some rooms. In others, they were completely discarded, shuffled around and tossed upside. 
You held your camera up, recording the dead people you had passed. How much proof did you need to prove Murkoff wrong? To prove something awful had happened here? You had stopped gagging at the open wounds. 
There was someone in the middle of the room that startled you. They were alive. 
“Hello?” a man called, desperately. He rattled at his chains that were holding him to the bed. You didn’t approach immediately. He could be faking it. Did the patients even have the wherewithal to do that?
Double doors opened. You looked up, fear in your eyes as you made eye contact with a patient. There was a mask covering the lower half of his face.
“Who are you?” he questioned, voice lucid. It was the most sane anyone had sounded here but he definitely didn’t look it. “You aren’t a patient.” 
“I’m…”
“It doesn’t matter. You’re here all the same,” he said, shrugging. His voice was reminiscent of a man you would meet at the bar and immediately disregard. The thought brought you a little comfort. He had once been a man. Just a man. 
Even if he was currently holding a very, very large scissors. 
You backed up slowly. 
“Did you see my work? A little rusty, I admit. I was trying something…a little bit state of the arc with him.” He gestured to the main chained up. “But trust me, I have figured out how many organs you need to live. Would you like to see?”
“Who are you?” you asked. 
Richard Trager noted that you weren’t running from him. Stupid, really but a new tactic nontheless. He also immediately noticed that you were a woman. He hadn’t seen a woman in these parts for a while, not since the whole phantom pregnancy debacle. 
“Trager. Doctor,” he said. He walked up to you, back straight, head held high. He had the upper hand (hence the scissors) and he enjoyed watching you squirm while you were still free to use all your limbs.
“Richard Trager,” you breathed. “I’ve read some of your files. Where exactly did you get your doctorate?”
“You’re a nosy little one aren’t you? I don’t mind, truly. I miss titillating conversation. We really should go out for brunch,” he suggested. You had reached the wall, your back flush against it. He could only get closer and you were stuck there. Your eyes looked around helplessly for something to hit him with but all the beds were neatly tucked into their spots at the side of the room. 
He looked down at you, close now, close enough to touch you but he only grabbed your wrist. 
“It would’ve been smarter to run,” he said, smiling a bit. You could see only a little bit of his mouth, sans his lips that seemed long gone. You couldn’t tell if he had skinned himself or if it were a deformation caused by the same thing that happened to everyone else here. Regardless, it was eerie. 
He cleanly knocked you out. 
-
You woke up in a chair. Your temples were pounding. The side of your head was cold and wet. When you tried to raise your hand to touch it, you found your hands were tied to the chair you were sitting in. 
“Morning sunshine.” You lulled your head up to see Trager walking into your view. “You know, I thought about just getting to work with you. You never would’ve known with those pretty little eyes closed. I mean, I am a tad bit short on anesthesia so you would’ve known eventually,” he said, standing in front of you. You were in a bathroom maybe? Sinks in front of you, two large ones. A mirror was above them. You could see your face but you didn’t recognize yourself. 
You looked disheveled, dirty, exhausted. Like you had been running for your life for hours. 
Your reflection was quickly blocked by Trager, standing in your field of vision. 
“Why didn’t you?” you questioned, bitterly. 
“Haven’t seen a lady here in a while. Figured I’d make some conversation before I decided to part you from one of your body parts.” 
You had to play along right? Chat with him. Figure out things about Murkoff, figure out if he could help you rather than hurt you. 
“You were a doctor here right? How did you become a patient?” you questioned. 
“Long story. It’s a campfire story actually and poor us; we don’t have a campfire.” 
“Well then what conversation should we have?”
“What’s your name?” 
“Y/N,” you said, honestly and quickly.
“I know Father Martin’s got to you. I hear the whisperings and stupid fucking mumbling of some of these assholes. You’re not a religious freak are you?”
“I don’t think so,” you said. “His preaching didn’t really hit home,” you suggested. Trager nodded, smiling more with his loose mouth. 
“You see, I had a feeling you would understand.”
“What are you doing here?” you asked again. There were body parts on the ground surrounding you. You still didn’t know when you had started to not react to them. 
“Same reason everyone’s here. Rest and relaxation.” He extended his arms, placing them on the sink edges behind him. 
“I’m a freelance reporter. That’s why I’m here.” 
“Came at the wrong time sweetheart. Things really are a bit cuckoo these days. You should see it when it’s all up and running. Then it’s just caca.” 
“I was coming to see what the hell went wrong with Murkoff.”
“Murkoff was never right in the first place.” He gestured with his hand, waving away any other opinions. 
“MKUltra right? I was reading about it in the files,” you said. He shrugged. 
“Who cares about the past? You know you won’t make it out of here. Not with all these pesky variants running around.” 
“I do. I care.” You hoped your camera was still running. You didn’t know where it was. 
“Well I don’t.” 
“What happened to you? You were an advisor or something. What…I mean, how are you here right now?” 
“They all are,” he promised. “Every single person. Including the one who probably sent you the email. That’s whatcha get for messin with the big man,” he said, shrugging. “I take great joy in knowing all of those fuckers are probably long gone,” he said, making a flying gesture with his hand. You nodded. He was probably right. 
“You should. They were fucked.”
“I was one of them before I generously was separated from my position,” he said. 
Neither of you were sure why you were talking still. All you really knew is that you were alive and he was keeping you that way. 
“I mean what if we could fuck everything else up. Every other plan Murkoff has. I mean a former employee turned patient and me with all my evidence?”
“That’s not what I want,” he said, slightly frustrated. “I’m biding my time. Someone else gets to do the big job this time around,” he said. “I think we’ve chatted enough.” He pushed himself off the counter. You took a deep breath, feeling each of your body parts. You weren’t sure which ones you would be losing. 
“You did do a nice job on that man out there,” you said.
“Hm?” he questioned, standing by his table of knives and weapons. 
“The sutures. You were a doctor.”
“I picked up a few tricks and tips,” he said absentmindedly.
“Can I…can I try?” 
He turned his head sharply to look at you. You felt like you were holding your breath with how your throat closed. 
“On?”
“Whoever you find.”
When he smiled it was genuine. You could almost feel the giddy radiating off of him. He crossed his arms, turning back around and standing in front of you once more. He stared at you without saying anything. For a second you thought you were fucked. He had surely picked a weapon and you were about to die. 
“Are you a doctor Y/N?”
“I am not.”
“Good,” his cheeky smile grew. “Neither am I.” 
He started to unclasp the things wrapped around your wrists. 
“Just know, if you try anything on me, it will be the last thing you do with those smooth hands.” He grabbed your hand and helped you up. You wobbled but he caught you by grabbing your elbow. 
“Yes sir.” 
He chuckled. Trager gestured to the door with his hand, learning down a bit like he was bowing. 
“Right this way nurse.”

(cont. ask) first of all NOOO don't apologize i was looking for a long post, this is why i came here! i've been lurking way back! i remembered your blog name! 2. wow??? this is such a comprehensive answer!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🤗😳 thank you so much! 3. any content you want to post i am here for! 4. i can't believe there are so many new guys, like yes of course, but i can't believe it! 5. Oh yeah the details of the Holtby thing are coming back to me, i seem to have repressed it.🙈
Aw that's so sweet of you! A longtime viewer! (Viewer? What am I, a YouTuber? Calm down.) It's sweet of you to remember me and I'm delighted that I am apparently famous and evidently famous for making long/extensive posts lol. Which I'm about to do again.
I talked about Strome, Milano, Sandin, and alllll those young guys on my last post, as well as Darcy and TvR. [And Dowd but you already knew him.] The rest of the guys currently on the team I haven't really touched on yet that joined post-Holtby era are Nicolas Aube-Kubel, Anthony Mantha, and Charlie Lindgren. I'll get into them in a bit, but I gotta get into some other things first.
You said you haven't really watched since the Holtby era, so I'm going to assume you know everything that happened/all the people we had up til that final season, and that you know little/nothing of what has happened since then. So I'm gonna give a quick recap of some of the big things that have happened in that time:
You missed the ENTIRETY of the Sammy and Vitek goaltending era, which was kinda turbulent. Sammy was gonna be the starter with Henrik Lundqvist as the backup, but then it turned out Lundqvist had a heart condition and had to retire and never played a game for the Caps. This forced Vitek into action, and we had 2 years of the Sammy and Vitek goaltending duo. I, personally, loved it. Some people did not. I still hold that they were BOTH GOOD!! They split time, neither one ever TRULY grasped the starting reigns. There was also when Vitek got taken by the Kraken in the expansion draft and then immediately traded him back to us. Also they were besties, which started when they were a duo down in Hershey. It's also why my blog is titled "goalie best friend tandem," though it also currently applies to Darcy and Chuck who are besties. You can search the "goalie best friends" tag on my blog for cute Sammy and Vitek content. Neither of them are here anymore, but they're still friends - I remember seeing a quote Vitek gave to some Devils people talking about him and about still being friends and such.
Players you knew back from the Holtby era who are no longer with us: Lars Eller, Richard Panik (useless), Jonas Siegenthaler, Travis Boyd, Christian Djoos, Michal Kempny, Radko Gudas, Garnet Hathaway, Dmitry Orlov [don't talk to me about these last two I'm sad]
Players that played with us for multiple seasons after the Holtby era who are no longer with us this year: Justin Schultz, Conor Sheary, Daniel Sprong, Matt Irwin
COVID robbed us of our time with Brenden Dillon and I'm sad about it
We had Zdeno Chara for 1 year, and he straightup fixed Nick Jensen. Jensen was abysmal before that, then Chara was his defense partner for the whole year, and Jensen is good now. I no longer dread every time he touches the puck, I trust him. Also he has a personality now! Idk what kind of dark magic Chara used, but I will be forever thankful to him for it. 1 year of Chara absolutely 1000% worth it just for fixing Nick Jensen
We got Marcus Johansson back! :) And then we traded him again
We traded Jakub Vrana for Anthony Mantha, who is useless and unfortunately still here. He never fit in with the team vibe of "sexy idiots," he's not loud enough or slutty enough.
In March 2022 Carl Hagelin suffered a really bad eye injury during practice. I think the butt end of someone's stick got into his eye? (We were never told whose stick it was, I'm sure they have to feel absolutely terrible about it.) He's lucky he didn't lose his eye. He tried to come back, but he never played a game again after that. He was technically on the roster all of last season, but he never got into any games, and he just announced his retirement this summer. A really sad end, tbh. And RIP to the 4th line of dreams.
We were GONNA have Connor Brown for the 2022-23 season, and he was gonna play with Dylan Strome whom he's friends with and played in juniors with. But he played for like 2 games and then got hurt and was out for the season and never played for us again. I think he's in Edmonton now.
You know about goal songs, right?? I think the last year of Holtby was the first year of goal songs. I have a Spotify playlist of goal songs if you wanna check it out
There have been SO many injuries the last 3 years. 2021-22 was what I like to call the year of babies. I don't even remember who exactly was injured but there were so many injuries it necessitated the callup of SO many rookies. TWELVE rookies played that season: Martin Fehervary, Connor McMichael, Beck Malenstyn, Garrett Pilon, Hendrix Lapierre, Brett Leason, Aliaksei Protas, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, Zach Fucale, Joe Snively, Alex Alexeyev, and Lucas Johansen. All of whom made their NHL debuts that season except for Fehervary, McMichael, Malenstyn, and Pilon. Of those rookies, Fehervary and McMichael were the only ones who were really supposed to make the team that season; they stuck around the whole season, while Leason and Protas played 30+ games, AJF played 20+, Snively and Malenstyn played more than 10 each, and the rest had 6 or less. It was truly the year of babies. Some of those guys aren't in the organization anymore, but I think this is the year the rest of them finally make the leap and are true full-timers. [Except for Fehervary, who already is]
More injury news: Nicky and Tom were injured for like the first half of last season. And in December, John Carlson broke his fucking face. He got hit in the face with a puck and it broke his entire face, like it was really bad, and he hardly played again. I think he came back for like the last few weeks, but tbh his injury was when the season went downhill. [I say "broke his face" but the official reports are he had a fractured skull and severed temporal artery. Yikes! He's fine now though]
Ovi just keeps breaking goal records. He got 800 goals and then passed Gordie Howe last season!!! He is now number 2 all-time in goals!! He currently has 822. Watch out, Gretzky, he's comin' for ya
Oh yeah the Hershey Bears won the Calder Cup this year!! It was absolutely epic. They played the Coachella Valley Firebirds (Kraken AHL team) in the finals, and it was an awesome finals. It went to Game 7 overtime. GAME SEVEN OVERTIME!!!!! Do you know how rare that is? It's only the 2nd time the Calder Cup Finals has gone to overtime in Game 7, with the first time being in 1953. In the NHL, it has only ever happened in the Stanley Cup Finals TWICE. EVER! By the Wings in 1950 and 1954. So the Bears won the Calder Cup in Game 7 overtime and it was exciting as FUCK. And a lot of guys who might make the Caps roster this year were on that Cup-winning team: Snively, Protas, McMichael, Malenstyn, Johansen, as well as top prospects Lapierre and Iorio. They're the oldest franchise in the AHL, and that was their 12th Calder Cup, which is the most in AHL history.
And you said to feel free to post some content so I am going to POST some CONTENT. Starting with:
✨Darcy Kuemper✨
I fucking love Darcy, so much. I've already said that I've liked him for a long time, and I'm absolutely elated to have him on the team. He won the Cup with the Avs in 2022. He is also very tall, he's 6'5", one time he hugged TJ and it made TJ look like a child. He's so sweet, and he's so dumb. He's like a giant labrador. Some of my favorite assorted Darcy things and moments include:
In one of his first interviews after signing he said he was gonna visit every museum in DC, and I'm like no you're not, Darcy, that's not possible. Our first sign that he was a big dummy
One time suplexed Matthew Tkachuk into the ice
Got a shot on goal during a game last year
The time he tried to "interview" Nick Jensen at the outdoor game practice while giggling incessantly
Here's him at NHL media day last year, featuring him kicking a soccer ball like you see in my profile pic :)
Says one of his life goals is to bring back the dinosaurs. Please see this post for the full story on that one
Is absolute BESTIES with Charlie Lindgren, the backup goalie. Like, so much so that they and their wives constantly take their dogs on walks together, the dogs are reportedly besties as well, and the Kuempers dog-sat Chuck's dog over Christmas. They also kind of have matching dogs, I'll include a picture below. Chuck also called himself and Darcy two of the "more normal goalies in the league" which is an absolute lie after the dinosaurs thing, so clearly Chuck doesn't have that many brain cells rolling around up there either. They also did THIS at media day this year. Their friendship is just so pure. You can read more about it in this article. And like, they didn't know each other before signing here. According to the article, evidently after they signed, they texted each other and then literally the scene from stepbrothers happened
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then TvR 🥰 Mine own love TvR. I adore Trevor van Riemsdyk so much. He's just got incredibly good vibes. I also have a bit more of a personal attachment to him, because he and I have the same birthday (July 24). He's a bit soft-spoken, especially compared to some of the other freaks on this team. Possibly one of the only ones with any semblance of a brain cell. He's not flashy; he's a steady-eddy defenseman, almost always on the third pair barring injuries. He's not gonna score a bunch of points, but he plays hard defensively every game (one of the reasons goalies love him), he's reliable, and he blocks SO many shots. He's also one of THE guys on the penalty kill. The penalty kill is TvR, Jensen, Fehervary, and Dowd, those are the main guys. We also officially claimed him as our own. As of this year, he will have played more years with the Caps than with anyone else, he currently has more goals, assists, and points with us than with anyone else, and after about 40 more games he will have played more games with us than with anyone else.
Also the ENTIRE team is absolutely fucking OBSESSED with him. There aren't like that many big specific things I can point to, it's just how I've noticed them treating him over the years, and how they talk about/to him and the general energy. They all love to shout "REEEEEEEEEEEEMERRRRRRRR" at any and every opportunity. And like you can just tell that every single one of them is deeply in love with him. They are all constantly tripping over themselves to give him the player of the game award in the locker room, even when other guys have a bunch of points in the game and it feels like they're the obvious choice but no they all want to give a love letter to their collective crush. The goalies especially love him. (Here's Chuck giving him the POTG, Nicky giving him the POTG, and a recounting of Sammy's love affair with him two seasons ago). The coaches also love him, sometimes too much for their own good - there have been times in the last few years when they've put TvR on the power play and in the shootout (??) when he had no business being there lol. And like I don't blame them lmao. He's grown to become a leader on the team (and occasionally gets As on his chest during preseason games and when a bunch of dudes are injured - another thing that confirms to me they're all in love with him, he got real high up on the chain of command real quick), he's super consistent (there was one game last year when there were so many injuries on D that the defense was quite literally just TvR plus a bunch of rookies - I said that day that the defense was "TvR and a dream"), and he will absolutely never put his mouthguard in his mouth. So as the year goes on, and as you watch games and social media content, just keep your eyes peeled, watch TvR, and you'll see that the entire team is so fucking horny for TvR specifically. I made this meme awhile back, which is exactly how the Caps feel about TvR:
Tumblr media
Other miscellaneous fun facts about the team and players that I think you should know:
Our backup goalie is Charlie Lindgren, but we all call him Chuck. It suits him better, especially with his mustache. He also catches right-handed, which is different than practically every other goalie in the league. So like if you look, he and Darcy wear their catching gloves on different hands.
There are a LOT of NHL brothers on this team. Dylan Strome's older brother Ryan plays for the Ducks, and his younger brother Matt actually plays for the Hershey Bears. Trevor van Riemsdyk is also the middle child of three hockey-playing brothers: his older brother James plays for the Bruins, and younger brother Brendan doesn't play in the NHL but played college hockey. And Charlie Lindgren is the oldest of 3 hockey brothers: Andrew played college hockey but never made the NHL, and youngest brother Ryan plays for the Rangers.
Kuzy has been doing some wacky shit in the shootout the last few years, just go look it up on YouTube
Here's a video of the mentors trip this year so you can see Sonny Milano's father who is simply exactly who I envisioned him to be in my head
Nicolas Aube-Kubel (NAK), a French-Canadian fourth line winger that the Caps picked up on waivers in November last year, is Sergei Ovechkin's (Ovi's son) favorite player. We learn this in a video feature with Ovi's wife and kids (I'm including the link to this gifset from the lovely @thornescratch which is where I first saw this). The producer asks who Sergei's favorite player is, and Sergei immediately answers "Aube-Kubel." Not only is Aube-Kubel his "guy" according to Nastya, but then we also see that a selfie of Sergei and Aube-Kubel is the lock screen of Sergei's iPad. And Sergei calls Aube-Kubel his "best friend." Learning this information is such a curveball, because it's like the last person you'd expect Sergei's favorite to be. It's not somebody Russian or even European, it's not somebody old or someone who's been on the team a long time, it's not one of his dad's closer friends, and it's not even one of the stars of the team, it's a young Canadian dude who plays fourth line if he's in. Aube-Kubel must be REALLY friendly, otherwise why else would he be Sergei's favorite? You know it has to be absolutely devastating to Tom Wilson to not be Sergei's favorite lol. [I'm also convinced this is why they re-signed NAK so quick in the offseason, you HAVE to bring back Sergei's favorite player!!]
Tumblr media
Speaking of NAK: remember how I said Beck Malenstyn was Nic Dowd's chosen winger? NAK is his OTHER chosen winger. Those two are twin shitstarters and Dowd loves them and I know he absolutely wants both of them on his line this season. They're gonna be a great 4th line. I could talk all day about Dowd and his 4th line duties, and you can ask me to do that if you want but I'm not gonna do it here
I also know everyone's zodiac sign because I'm a freak. I can also get more into that in a separate post if you want
There's probably more stuff, but this is all I can think of for now. Please feel free to ask me more stuff, I love diving into things. Stuff about the team, players, my favorites, whatever. I hope this is both informative and entertaining!

Apparently the multiverse is real
Chapter 4: God bless America
Masterlist
previous | next
Pairing: the avengers x reader
Disclaimer: English is not my first language so you may find some funny words/sentences or broken grammar in here. I'll say sorry in advance but I've tried my best.
Summary: You accidentally travel to Marvel universe(not earth-616), but luckily you've got your phone with you. You may ask what do you mean luckily, just read this fiction.
Tumblr media
I've stayed in the tower for about 2 weeks now. Tony didn't just let me eat, sleep and repeat. Instead, he put me in the training sessions with Natasha and Clint.
"You're doing great Y/N" Natasha winks at me
"I bet you can now beat all of the Widows out there" Clint pants on the ground
"Well.. I learned from the best" I've trained for 2 hours now but honestly I don't feel tired at all
"I think we should end it for today, Clint and I have some birthday to attend" Natasha says as she walks to the lockers
"Oh, it's Cooper's birthday right?" Yeah I think I can remember Clint's son's birthday
"Yeah. He's turning 23 this year. They just grow so fast" Clint sighs
"Soo.. he's the same age as you, Y/N?" Natasha looks at me teasingly
I know what Natasha try to imply
"Yeah yeah, and stop trying to set me up with him, I'm really not interested in anyone right now" When I was in my world, I would simp over all of these heroes, I mean look at their faces, their arms, their abs. Those comic suits are just super tight. But when I finally met them in real life, I was kinda intimidated. I mean they are real people. There are some differences. Or maybe I just prefer the 2D guys.
"And also I can not leave the tower. You know?" Yes, I can say that Tony is imprisoned me. He got this new security system that I can not hack. It would change its own password every time if someone typed the wrong password.
"Well, you two have fun ok? Maybe bring some leftover cake in for tomorrow too" I say and waving them a goodbye
And now I was left alone again.
I walked to my room, took a cold shower, and now I'm lying in my bed, playing with my phone. I don't know if my phone has some bugs or if it wasn't meant for multiversal traveling but my battery has been 100% all along since I arrived here. But I guess it's a good thing because of course I didn't bring any chargers with me. And yes I did try to find some charger, but it looks like in this universe, no one knows about my phone brand.
I wonder what would happen in my real world, is my mom gonna be shocked if she couldn't find me in my bedroom the next morning? who's gonna do my laundry? what if my professor gives me F for not attending classes?
As I was drowning in my own thought. My bedroom door swung open.
"What do you want Tony?"
"Get ready, we're going out"
"Where? Can we just go tomorrow? I'm super tired right now?"
"Do you want to go back to your universe or not?"
"Say no more pops" I jump out of my bed and run to my walk-in closet to start throwing some clothes on me
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Avengers mansion
"Why did I have to live in that tower when you have this big a** mansion?" I turn to Tony as I can see how big the Avengers mansion is
"You didn't tell me you want to live here"
"Well. I didn't know that YOU who already has a gigantic tower in the middle of the city would have another enormous mansion in the same city too"
"And you said you know everything about everyone"
Tony really tests me so much lately.
"Well Tony Stark in my universe only has a tower and it has been sold to Reed Richard now"
"That is nonsense, why would I sell MY tower to that man? Smartest man alive? My a**, did you know that he kick me out of the Illuminati? My own secret team? that son of a bi***"
"Language. Tony. There are a lot of minors living here according to my good memories about the Avengers mansion"
"Yeah, and today we're visiting one of them too"
"Who?" I have no idea what Tony's planning to do
"First. Let's go inside"
Tony scans his eye to the door and the access granted. We walk inside the mansion. And I am just speechless. It is sooo big and so gorgeous. It's giving the old money vibe. Nothing says Tony Stark. No hi-tech monitor, no talking security system.
"Wait here" Tony says and walks into another room
I sit on a couch and look at the picture near it. It was a picture of the Young Avengers. Wow, they're not anything like the Young Avengers from where I'm from. They're comic accurate I would say.
"Is she here yet little hawkeye?" I can hear Tony's voice from another room
"She's upstairs, I'll text her, and stop calling me that. My name is Kate" I guess that would be Kate Bishop who's Tony talking to
Whoosh!
Ouch. What is that noise? It is so loud.
"Stop doing that inside of the house. Your portal is burning the carpet again" Kate scolds
Portal?
Oh my god. How could I never think of her in the first place?
Then Tony walks back to the room I'm sitting in.
"Here. Y/N. Let's meet America Chavez"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So now America Chavez is the 3rd person who knows about me coming from another universe.
"Can you really bring me back to my universe?" I ask her
"Yes. I never fail" She answers proudly
"Then.. what're we waiting for?" Tony adds
"You want me to open a star portal here? In this room Mr.Stark?"
America asks and looks at the other room with a concerned look
"Yeah you're right, let's go outside, is the backyard ok?" He asks
"That'll do sir"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the backyard
"ok Y/N, are you ready?" America asks
"ok, I'm ready. Let's do it" I hold my breath as she holds my hand
Then she tries to punch something in the air for about 2-3 times
"Why is it not working?" She asks herself
"What do you mean it's not working? You said you can control it now young lady" Tony asks
"And I mean it sir. This week, I've been traveling through a lot of universes" America panicked and look at her hand, still trying to create a portal by punching the air
"Hey. It's ok. I'm not in a hurry" I try to calm her down
"Y/N, wait here for me ok?" She says and lets go of my hand. She closes her eye and punches the air again. Now there it is. A star portal.
"See? sir. I can really control it. I can open a portal. This is a portal to my universe" She talks to Tony
"What about her universe?" Tony means mine
"I don't know sir. I can't open a portal to her universe. It's like I can't reach her universe. It's like her universe is not in the same system as ours"

i finished act 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now there's just all these events I've yet to get to from a3en... plus reading through act 3 translations if those exist... i hope they do! but the FIRST thing I'm going to do is fill out my a3! name chart, haha :) okay but before i get ahead of myself: here's my thoughts on the rest of the winter story!
the moment they mentioned the fleur award, I knew within my heart that act 3 might have the members seriously tackle winning or at least getting a nomination, and hey, look, sakuya mentioned it at the end! there's lots of little things I could feel them start to set up, which is cool. like, haruto mentions that godza has new recruits! so I assume shift is gonna pop up in act 3. and then there's the hyakka theater company which sakuya adored so much winning the fleur award at the end... I wonder if we'll get to meet them? I also saw a character on a poll tournament once that I think was an old leader of spring? and since yuzo's already someone we've met, I wonder if we'll meet all the leaders of the old troupes... we've already seen quite a few bits and pieces of them, after all! then, of course, there's the thing with misumi's grandfather's old scripts and reni, which I'm sure will come into play... hopefully we'll get to see his brother, too... guy also recognized reni, so he's probably got some kind of connections with mankai, right? what if he was a leader of the winter troupe, or something? lots of possibilities. and tsuzuru's eldest brother could also bring something interesting to the table? he got his own sprite and all, and he seems pretty interesting, so I feel it'd be a waste if this was his only appearance...
since we're on that subject, I was very glad to meet tadoru. his and itaru's conversation was just really nice, and it was cool to see him kinda watching out for tsuzuru in his awkward way. for a moment i was confused by him randomly saying hello to itaru at the bar, though. was sitting there like. ...is itaru getting hit on? tadoru also gave me sort of chikage-esque vibes because he was just that friendly, and so when he gave itaru sake and was like. hey! bribe material! i was like. ah. nice. would love to see some more elaboration on what he says, though because... “I mean, back when everything was falling apart at home, I just ran off and left Tsuzuru to deal with it all himself.” is intriguing. tadoru says that tsuzuru probably resents him... i mean, he definitely has a right to, but i don't think he like, does, if that makes sense? like... his family is his family. he might not have been happy about dealing with stuff without his eldest brother around, but I don't think it's something that would... fester, if it makes sense?
I've gotten ahead of myself again, so let's rewind chronologically... it was nice to see the improv battle spark something in guy! also it's nice every time they run into haruto because like, tasuku probably calls him "yamada" on purpose but like, half of the time that people get his name wrong, I'm pretty sure it's totally sincere, which makes it even funnier... like homare being like. "ah, hato-kun, I think it was?" with no ill-will is amazing. i didn't actually make the connection that this was tasuku's second time playing raoul until now, which is quite a fun detail.
don't have much to say about the play itself... you made a really good point about how POTO relates to guy, so I don't have much to add except that there's a comment that izumi makes about homare as richard dragging emotion out of the phantom, and I thought that was neat, because it's homare that gets guy to laugh, too, with his silly chickpeas bit. all of winter getting drunk was sooooo cute. its so dear to me that tasuku and tsumugi are just like. intelligently critiquing theatre stuff. not even arguing. like how is their drunk habit just... how they are normally, it's great. and then of course there's homare who's in tears and super sappily composing poetry. love him. and love that he manages to elicit a truly wonderful-sounding laugh from guy the same way, later! what a BEAUTIFUL cg that was!!! homare looks so pleased with himself and he's right to be that way!!
the power outage for the last performance was such a cool moment, too... like, the way that this phantom's final line dedicates his song for his friend. where it's not about being a singer or taking his revenge, anymore. it's such a good way to reflect what guy says before the final performance, that being "all of you are the reason I am able to see myself as human again.” which is what chris does for the phantom, here. you can also hear in guy's BREATH how much finishing this play affected him, which is awesome. seriously, the VAs are so talented, but also whoever's directing them or the like has a really good eye for what kinds of voice performances to add...
watched the backstages and them at karaoke was cute! so they staged it with just music, i see... the part where they method acted like they were in a musical was really funny. yuki resorting to just saying he'll make them pay him every time they break out into song... the sakyo-influence. tsuzuru and yuki would actually be a really fun combo in terms of like, events, also. they've both got this midlly pessimistic way of talking. the SR hisoka was also really good... cant believe he sleeps in a coffin! no wonder tasuku got so into treating hisoka as a vampire during nocturnality lol. anyways what a great actor he is. i love that, with the possibility that hisoka was possessed presented to tasuku, who's seen magic happen before, tasuku is like. alright. time to act my heart out. i bet it was really good practice.
there's a bit where sakuya says "citron was still with us back then..." which. very misleading turn of phrase. anyways they're going to zafra!! whoo!! i think it's so funny that guy is like "I'm a wanted criminal" as like an expression of the fact that his presence is troublesome, completely unaware of the fact that two of the people he's gonna be travelling with are like, also wanted criminals. itaru has every right to call chikage a "menace" like he does here.
another hit out of the park with izumi going "I do not see." about chikage's illegal passport for guy. the structure of this episode is really interesting, though--winter had really big developments outside of their own story (tsumugi in act 1 plus a bit of tasuku, homare in the next play, azuma in the next + a bit of tasuku there, too, and then hisoka in spring's act 2 story. because they got such rich development there, it gives the story space to really work out things between guy and citron. like, apart from azuma and tasuku visiting azuma's old home, it's not like there's a particularly big event any of the other winter members go through? while spring has masumi's whole deal and though its minor, itaru has to open up a little to having a roommate. and summer had tenma's audition and dealing with that stuff, plus kazunari's career worries, alongside kumon's whole stresses (of which muku and juza obviously were major in helping him with). everyone in autumn gets a collage, but while it's not like the characters in winter weren't major presences, it was more like they were reflecting on stuff that had already happened, rather than having new things that developed them in some way? which allows for space.
as for guy's subordinate, mika, i'm like 80% sure their name is mika because it's meant to be like, "mikan"
we already discussed my opinion of zafra as a nation so there's no need for me to really go into that, but about tangerine!! firstly the fact that tsuzuru just has to instinctually correct his japanese is so dear to me, like, he can't rid himself of the impulse... also I can't believe I said muku probably reminded citron of tangerine and guy basically echoes my exact thoughts... like muku, he's rather cute and brave! running to save citron, and then making sure the fire is taken care of... what a good person! I'm sure he'll do well... didn't end up being twist-evil after all, phew. I'm glad I was wrong about that. the end was a little underwhelming in terms of how the king wrapped it up. i'm glad he did so kindly, but I think it's a rather big upheaval that just happened and it felt like things got wrapped up quite neatly... I feel like there's probably a more complicated and interesting way it could've gone down, that also makes zafra feel more like a real place, but that's for me to obsessively plot and headcanon my way around.
the moment they mentioned the chandelier i was like Ah. chekhov's chandelier!! also there's a literal chandelier fall in the actual POTO so like... yeah, of course. I ADORED how sakuya jumped in, improv wise. not even part of the cast! and yet! perfect reaction! he should be proud of himself. (my notes at that moment are just "THATS MY KIDDDDDDD!!!!")
the part where they save citron was also so good... like firstly, half the reason the plan to lure out citron works is because he thinks that it's mankai, which is a wild, would-be-tragic coincidence had not chikage and itaru saved him... speaking of!! what a good moment. those two are both kind of the "adults" of the spring troupe, so it was neat to see them put themselves in harms way while kind of redirecting the younger members. especially tsuzuru, who's fairly responsible... it's nice to see him get treated as young, yknow? anyways. it's up to dad and grandpa to save spring troupe's mom, right... i usually object to obsessively fitting found family into roles but since spring troupe has done this to themselves i can call them as i like!
the dynamic between itaru and chikage was really nice to see... they both know each other quite well, huh? the casual way they treated things was kind of fun. especially when chikage's like. close your eyes for a sec, would you, chigasaki? and itaru very cutely after being like ah close my eyes physically or mentally to your crimes? replies with roger that.
chikage rushing back in to warn everyone about the chandelier was also really really good... i love that his voice gets low when he's frazzled!
citron and spring's proper reunion was so nice... sakuya cried! and I really liked that guy talked to citron in zafran when telling him about being able to rediscover his emotions... “I was not merely ignoring my own emotions, but yours, as well.” was a really good point he made.
also with spring being family it's really awesome that citron calls them his second family.... that's right, they are! and then sakuya states the same feeling at the end, where he says "You're all my true family." which did, I admit, bring a tear to my eye. actually i started tearing up because before that he said "I guess I always assumed that we would always be here together as a company, you know? But that's not true, is it?" and then I remembered the a3en shutdown and got emotional.
still, it's such a sweet ending! excited for more, whenever I get around to it! and I can make my chart now!! I've just got one remaining thought, which is: I wonder who did guy’s scar makeup in zafra, since azami wasn't around? (probably azuma, is my guess)
YEEHAW CONGRATULATION!!! At least finishing the EN sever's content will be welcomed. (and then you'd caught up on me bc i still haven't started anything past that ahah…. ahah… cries). But congratulation at least on being introduced to the full cast now!!
under cut!
Congratulation on seeing it coming ;D yeah it makes sense honestly, after having sorted out some of their biggest emotional problems, it's time for them to start aiming higher eheh. And yesss there's so many set up. I haven't touched act 3 yet so it's just…. so far ahead for me lmao. We will get to meet the ex leaders of each troupes in act 3 though yeah! I really hope you're right in term of how Guy could see it coming too, and how everything is set up for more content in the future, hopefully. we'll see!
DFDLKFJDFL love thinking immediately that Todoru would hit on Itaru over just looking out for Tsuzuru, this is really funny. And ahah sake of chekov if you will. As for what you bring up, yeah… I think it's complicated. On one hand, it's understandable to want to run away when everything is falling apart - your parents are the one putting you through hell and ultimately you know it's going to ruin any possibility to a future you can have, so it's self preservation and all. But when you have siblings, it's leaving them to take the blow for you while you give up on them. It's selfish, it's understandable, i can't exactly blame him, but i blame him still because in the end it's the younger ones who had to take responsibilities while they could have banded together. But everyone was just trying to survive. When you see how Tsuzuru had to sacrifice everything for his family, you know Todoru should have done so too… But therefore it's even more unfair that Todoru dumped everything on Tsuzuru's shoulders. It's complicated, it leaves things to fester. So yeah. difficult for everyone involved.
Back to the plot, it was so nice indeed for Guy! and DLKJFDLKF yeah Tasuku is really just being petty that way. Also "Yamada" is Haruto's birth last name and also a very basic name? as in like, it's like "Smith" in the US, it's something a lot of people have, it doesn't stand out much. I think Tasuku is doing a couple things here. First, he used to call Haruto by his first name without honorific, which he doesn't even do with 90% of Mankai (the only people he calls by their first name without their honorifics are Tsumugi, Citron and Guy, so childhood friend privilege and the two without last name. Azuma stands as being the only one he calls by his first name + honorific. Everyone else is on last name + honorific basis). So it implies Haruto and him were close, yet by calling him by his last name again, Tasuku puts this distance between them. but it's also a name only Tasuku really knows, most people don't know Haruto like that. It remains something that denote how close they used to be, twisting the knife in the wound if you will. Meanwhile since Haruto wants desperately to be on top, to stand out, to be a star, it's also constantly reminding him that he's just like everyone else, that he's not standing out on his own, he's just a guy. it's so incredibly petty from Tasuku in general LDKJFDLKFJLD he knows what he's doing! But yeah the rst just, clearly isn't having this many hard feelings. I do think Azuma is being petty when he messes up (bc let's not forget also that the whole fight with Tasuku happened because of Haruto too, so Azuma may be entitled to be petty) but Homare? is fully genuine. It's so much. And yeah Tasuku and Haruto promotes POTO in act 1 when Tasuku is still working at the Godza! the more time changes.
And ahah i may have got ahead of myself there then -- but yeah Izumi's point here is very good, Homare truly is the emotion maker man. ALL OF WINTER GETTING DRUNK SO CUTEEE YES. and so true Tasuku and Tsumugi are so cute like that. hyperfixation goes brrr. meanwhile Homare, always a gem. he's amazing. And the fact he really gets to Guy is just 😭 Also not to be petty about fandom stuff here but i used to see a lot of jokes a few years ago about how Guy would be fed up with Homare's bullshit and would shut him down and be mean to him because of that and it used to make me SO angry because like Guy would NEVER, Guy would laugh and encourage him, it's HISOKA you want if you want to bully Homare damnit. This made me so angry. Homare has such a positive influence on Guy and Guy may be the one person in the Troupe who fully sincerely vibe with him (and not just to be sympathetic like Azuma and Tsumugi can be). I'm so glad you felt it. AND THAT CG IS SO CUTEEEE. A troupe symbolized by how hard it is for them to be honest about their feelings and how they closed all of them in, being able to laugh so openly with one another being silly. God i love them. Homare is so good.
YESSS Izumi's "the play will go smoothly" really didn't account for that lmao. I loved that everything went so damn wrong then. It made me think about how in act 1 every troupes except Winter have this moment of "The Show Must Go On" -- something that should have stopped the performance fully but the actors adlibed around the issue and all went well. Winter didn't have this moment in act 1, when Tsumugi fucks the play up no one knows how to fix it until the play is over. It really shows how quickly the others troupes went in synch with one another VS how Winter still had to work on their bond first. but in act 2, it's the opposite? For the 3 others troupes, all the problems happen before the plays, the plays themselves go rather smoothly. But Winter gets all sort of problems during their performance and they have to adlib ways to have the show going on even though they hit a deadend. i think it's a neat way to show that NOW Winter is fully in synch with one another. And i do think Guy is the ultimate way for them to make it happen, since Guy having so many of the issues the rest of Winter had to go through, the way they support Guy shows the way they learnt to support each other during the last year. But YEAH YOU'RE SO RIGHT ABOUT GUY'S PERFORMANCE. it's just so so good and the scene is so touching and gaah ;;-;;. the VAs are just so good and the directing is really incredible. Also something i love is coming back to the early plays and see how drastically different the acting for the acting is?? like, after reading act 2, they added voicelines to Alex in Wonderland, so i went back to check the event then -- and it struck me how, while they clearly had improved and weren't hammy at all, the acting was still miles away from being as clear than in Charlatant of Oz. Playing bad acting shouldn't be so hard, but managing to play "medium acting, not bad, but there's room to improve" seems like such a talent to me. the directing must be really tight because even just by VA's strength alone you need some guidance there man.
Glad you liked the backstages! it's so cute to me ahh. YUKI IS SO FUNNY he really became so cut-throat now, thanks Sakyo. God you're right, Tsuzuru and Yuki like "the two somewhat sane people against the world". until Yuki asks Tsuzuru to write a play that has fun costumes in and then he calls him Villager C again and now all hell breaks lose. RIGHTTT I LOVE IT. Hisoka has been sleeping in a coffin since his R from Nocturnality, and Tasuku already had to confiscate it then, and Hisoka was just "…….. i need to become a vampire brb" bc of that; But he basically kept this habit ever since until his SR. And i just find it sO funny that Tasuku tried to get Hisoka to stop sleeping and help out and Hisoka chooses violence instead. He's such a little shit he's so funny to me. And Tasuku just rolling with it because "well i've been stuck in a timeloop so it might as well happen" is so so funny to me. We managed to tame Tasuku into accepting the wildest of shit. god i love them so much.
Sakuya talking about Citron like he's dead fr. BUT YEAAAH ZAFRA! AND DLKJFDKLFJ DYEAH RIGHT. Guy: i'm a criminal // Chikage and Hisoka, with their fake IDs and actual criminal records: wow sucks to be you i guess. Itaru is so right about calling Chikage a menace. Chikage is one. fully.
Izumi's "i do not see" is SO FUNNY YEAH. It's her life now.
And you're so right about the Winter's structure. I think it really helped that well, dealing with Guy's problems is already a way to sum up how far they've come. Like… when Azami was going through his issues, he wasn't really communicating them and Autumn didn't know how to get him to communicate it, so they all shared their personal lives with Azami so Azami would make his own conclusions and all. But for Guy Winter mostly just learnt directly from how they helped each other out to help him instead so it's where the progress is seen, more subdued. But yeah, unlike say, Summer where everyone had a big plot to go through, Winter doesn't have that because it's been a bit spread out. Which i think fits them well. Winter isn't the type to make a big deal out of their own things, so everyhting kinda just happens around them. Act 1 only had them do big things because supernatural intervention happened. but it really helped the actual drama of the event to set in. I think this chapter had a huge task to make Citron be as important to its chapter than Hisoka was to Spring, while also having him absent most of the chapter. As such it needed more time to breath for Guy to really reflect on his past with Citron and stuff.
ooooh good catch!
nods yeah… And RIGHT i almost mentioned "i'm sure i saw Tangerine being fully compared to Muku" in the prev ask before it hit me it probably happened after lmao, but yeah!! it really is just that Citron saw his precious little brother in Muku and immediately became overprotective. Tangerine is so good so cute!! also as a result the fact Guy keeps calling Muku "Little Prince" because he sees Tangerine in him too? so adorable to me. Tsuzuru also not being able to help himself correcting Tangerine's japanese was very precious yeah in that regard. the Citron impulse too strong. As for the Zafra political drama yeah i agree, it was a bit "gotta wrap it up" type of ending lmao. fixing it with HCs is a good plan though fully.
Chekhov's chandelier indeed….. it's indeed very POTO in that sense. but YEAH SAKUYA SAVING THE DAY. BABY. THAT4S OUR BOY!!!!! It's exactly what he wanted like. he was inspired to do theater because of the pirate play that had to improvise evacuating people during a fire drill -- being able to do just that also during a fire drill must have been really the moment for Sakuya to come full circle. (THAT'S OUR BOY INDEED YOUR NOTES ARE SO RIGHT)
And god right. I love this bit so much. Citron just missing his family so much. The actual danger of it all; Chikage taking all the danger to himself, as redemption as well. The fact Tsuzuru is being considered a kid for once (especially after hearing how his brother left him to take all sort of adults responsibilities, i think it really makes it come full circle that in that moment even Itaru, who heard about that, stepped up to have Tsuzuru leave this responsibility behind for once and let the adults do the work instead). And god Itaru. His involvement there is so much. he would never have done anything that dangerous before, but now that it's all about protecting his family who cares. And besides Chikage can murder people he'll be fine. And yeah same, i don't like projecting Found Family's title on people and all but there's a couple exception: Sakyo and Omi being Dad and Mom (as per Yuki and Taichi always insisting and the fact they both answer to their given title like that), and the weird convoluted family dynamic of Spring (because they just love to play those up so much). Like, in the end also, the reality is that those titles don't fit them that much -- but it's a private joke in between them so it's fun to indulge. Dad and grandad on their way to save mom let's go.
Itaru and Chikage's dynamic was so so fun. They're really roommates in a deep way but i love the way Itaru is just getting used to Chikage's rascal ways like that while Chikage is really just unable to get rid of Itaru so now he has no choice but to get used to it. The close your eyes scene is SO FUNNY, the "physically or mentally to your crimes" is one of my favorite line it's just so on point. Itaru is too used to this bullshit. "might as well happen" type.
oghh Chikage…….; sighs lovingly he's so good isn't he. and yea his voice. so good.
CITRON'S REUNION YESS. Sakuya who's been already always left behind by all the family members who took him in, finally making himself a found family, and legit everyone almost leaving him at some point (except Tsuzuru)…. no wonder he cried when Citron was finally back. It's probably the last straw at this point for him. God. Family. And GOD Guy's quote as he talks with Citron. Crying.
Spring being so, so determined to talk about how they're really a family just keeps making me cry. Like, they really saw themselves as each other's family… ironically in the anime, when Citron and Izumi run away from the people that were sent after Citron, Citron does add a line about how in a way, he kinda hopes the troupe could become his family…. and the Ending song for Spring, Home, is also really about "and this home maybe could become a family" and it makes me cry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM_rHEFJ3ME But them talking about the end of the company just makes me so unwell. A3en ending really ended up making all of that so, so hard to swallow sobs.
SO GLAD you liked the ending. Now you know everything you need to know before the events ;D and yeah, i think Azuma was the one to do the make up without Azami around. he probably knows a thing or two so it helps out ;D
Tumblr media
there's a couple things linked to the events, else i also did the mistake to tag my dgm posts with massive spoilers with kiri dont look so it might still be a landmine...
i can delete the tag from the dgm tags so it can make it easier for you? but yeah else some events are in the way
anyway as always i'm so glad to have been able to read your thoughts <333 so glad you had fun and so glad you get to know the whole cast now. they're so sweet, always........
Take care and see you around ;D

The Venture Bros. #47: "Self-Medication" | November 23, 2009 - 12:00AM | S04E06
Season four continues with an episode that is really good!!! Like, one of the better ones for sure. Like, there have only been a couple episodes I’ve felt blah about, and even those aren’t too bad.
In this one: Dr. Venture goes on a boyish adventure with a bunch of other former boy adventurers. They all belong to the same therapy group, which also consists of Action Jonny, two Hardy Boys style guys who clearly murdered their parents and got away with it (ala the Menendez Brothers, who didn’t get away with it), a tubby ex-Wonder Boy, and a cute little robot child. Somebody kills their therapist and they need to go to the local strip club to investigate. 
Meanwhile: Hatred is having withdrawals at the movie theater with Hank and Dean. He’s out of the medicine what makes him not want to touch little boys (sexually), and starts having a panic attack. He abandons his post and locks himself in the panic room. That’s it! That’s the episode! Rusty and a bunch of losers wander around like it’s a Richard Linklater movie and Sgt. Hatred has a mental health crisis. Like, I literally have been sitting here thinking to myself if there was an A story and these were just the B & C stories.
But the thing is: this episode is hilarious and great and I’d put in the pantheon of “very good episodes”. And this episode has Seth Green in it! You’d think I’d be too pissed off at him to not overlook this, but I did! He plays the jockier of the Menendez/Hardy Boys. His brother is played by professional virgin Jon Hodgman. Brendon Small reprises his role of Action Jonny, who is definitely, legally not Jonny Quest. Patton Oswals plays a former Wonder Boy, one that didn’t get murdered by the Monarch (he probably just got fucked by him). This wonder boy is based on the actor who played Robin in the 1940s Batman serials, who grew up to be a middle-aged man with weird hair. The Ro-Boy is a parody of AstroBoy, and he’s voiced by Jackson Publick. He’s famous too, he’s just, you know, the creator of the show and not a guest star. 
Stuff I will mention now: 
I love all the scenes with the therapy group. Great collection of characters. The therapist with the racist “native” puppet is so funny, I love the “chemical dependence” line. 
There is a nice-sized slur in this one, and it’s followed up with Action Jonny saying a crass joke about giving a guy’s wife herpes. His hit-you-over-the-head phrasing of “after I put herpe in there” was a Brendon Small ad-lib and improves that joke tenfold. 
There’s a deleted scene where we see Rusty’s brown friend jump into the pool during the flashback scene, when Rusty is being forced to undergo talk-therapy with his abusive father. That’s why you see him swimming around in the finished episode. I wondered about this. It turns out he jumped in that pool first. 
The commentary has a big long section cut out of it. Jackson and Doc actually record a little thing to replace the missing audio, explaining that they had to edit something out of the commentary. Have they ever said what that’s about? 
MAIL BAG
Did you enjoy the Oscars? Who on adult swim would you give the awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture to. You can do others if you are feeling frisky but I don't want to bowl you over.
i don't respect acting or actors and I don't think we should encourage them. Best picture is uh, Kentucky Nightmare, directed by Space Ghost. I didn't like the Oscars, I didn't see any of those films :(
I'm watching Delocated again thanks to your blog and I was loving it until there is a scene where Jon says "If tea is what he wants then T is what he's gonna get" and then he holds a big letter T. I thought that was just so stupid. Like I thought I was watching Sesame Street. Put the letters away.
You don't like Sesame Street?? What do you like??
You're invited to hang out with three of your favorite adult swim stars. The catch? You have to hang out with Andy Merrill and he brought his favorite board games. You must play with Andy to have access to the other celebs. Do you?
I really do think that questions like this are meant to make me look FOOLISH, as if I like to sit around having childish fantasies of playing Cards Against Humanity with Brak. Well, I have a non-childish answer, maybe the most adult thing I've ever said, as a matter-of-fact: I would do it, but I would pick only hot sluts and have sex with them in front of Andy while he whined about being married in a Brak voice. What do you think of that you gay little ho
I was re-reading your Saul of the Moleman writeups and wow, what an awful show that was. My friend insists that Gerhardt Reinke's Wanderlust is good. I think there's no chance because this guy is a clown. Tell me for him that it sucks too. Please. Even if you don't believe it. Bend the truth for my advantage.
You know what I haven't really watched it but for you? Sure: that show sucked, and that's the reason I turned it off before the first commercial break of the first episode. Sorry, but Saul is a gay little ho
Any plans for Oscar's Big Night?
It was rather quiet, but I appreciated their minimalistic approach this year.

SAFE WORD
The first time was a test, though I didn't realize it. I just knew I was a horny, sexed up 25 year old with a wild imagination and that my boyfriend was just as horny, sexed up, and wild as I was.
Colin Richards was my boyfriend for the last three years, and we were perfectly matched. He had those lean handsome looks I go for, I was his dream muscle-jock bottom. He was total top, and I got over my hangups of being a total bottom and embraced my love of getting fucked.
Colin helped me get over those hangups in fact. He was my first boyfriend out of college and for as much as we were the "cute couple" to family and friends, behind closed doors, Colin had a real wild sexual imagination. At first I thought sex talk was cheesy, something for porn videos, but my boyfriend was so into it and his desire and ability to say nasty things during sex was infectious. I learned`to return his words with my own vocalized desires. Pretty soon, it was like we were trying to outdo each other. We didn't go deep into role play, but sometimes mid-fuck, C would call himself "Coach" or me "little bro." He'd even go with the Daddy talk. Whatever, it inevitably worked me up big time.
My boyfriend was a master at eating ass and we made a game sometimes of seeing how long he could eat me out. Challenging me, but challenging himself.
And yeah, Colin loved fucking me and he got me to embrace being on bottom. Some of it was his physical prowess, and knowing how to work his dick in me. But most of it was psychological. I loved being his muscle bottom. His cum dump. The horny little bro.
Our relationship moved fast. Colin was in finance and worked long hours. I had a shit-paying job in publishing but enjoyed the fact I left my work at the office, able to get plenty of time in the gym. Often I'd make a simple dinner for Colin for when he got home. About a year into dating, we decided to move in together. It just felt right.
The sex only got hotter. We tried threesomes. We went to a sex club on vacation and fucked in front of a crowd. Colin kept pushing me. Sometimes I was hesitant, but usually I got off on the new experiences.
Things clicked with bondage. I wasn't not into S&M at all. But the experience of being bound or cuffed was mind blowing to me. The loss of control combined with Colin's topping ability and verbal went straight to my dick. We'd add tickling or a blindfold. Pretty regularly - I mean, like once a week - Colin would cuff, bind, or tie me somehow. Sometimes just my wrists behind my back as he pounded me doggy. Sometimes restraining more of my body. It was all incredibly hot sex. I had a safe word, "giraffe." I hadn't had to use it, since Colin somehow knew just how far to push the envelope. But the fact I had it made me comfortable in letting go of control.
It was in the middle of a weekend session when Colin first sprung the surprise on me. My wrists were bound to the bed and I had a blindfold on as Colin pumped me slowly, taking his time. His hands were on my muscular, fit body, clearly appreciating the work I'd put in. I had a sense something was up from the way my boyfriend had been checking his phone a lot all evening. Still I was surprised by Colin's words.
"I have another guy lined up who wants to fuck you, babe," he said in a soft hoarse tone, clearly turned on.
We'd had a few threesomes and I'd found them hot. It's not like I craved cock besides Colin's but I loved feeling extra bottom-y with two at once. "Yeah? Sounds hot." I thought he was just doing sex talk, bringing up his desire for a future threesome.
His hands massaged my pecs and his hips stopped for second. "He's waiting in the other room," Colin grunted. "He wants to fuck you bad."
My heart pounded. This was C pushing the envelope again. "Who is it?" I asked, not sure what I thought of the idea, but my dick was winning out.
"That would kill the fun of the surprise, wouldn't it?" Colin said in a lewd chuckle. "I'm not gonna ask if you want it, Drew, but you have the safe word if you wanna use it."
I didn't say anything. I was a little apprehensive but excited as hell. This was kinky and hot.
C pulled out and I felt him get off the bed. I don't know if I heard his soft footsteps but I heard his voice say, "Come in," to the other guy.
The stranger had a nice deep voice. I didn't recognize it. He wasn't super talkative but he said how hot I was and he asked Colin if I was all prepped and ready to go.
"Yeah," C urged. "Fuck him." He was shifting in the bed beside me and pulling my legs back for the new top.
The stranger laughed. "Hot fucking muscle bottom," he said. Then I felt his cock nudge against my pucker.
I have to give to Colin, this was so wild and hot and I got a thrill after those anonymous inches bore into me. Not rough, but able to push quickly in now that Colin had primed the pump.
"Fuck, this cunt is nice, bro..." the stranger growled. He sounded like a straight finance bro in the way he was talking to Colin, like a fraternity brother sharing a chick. I wondered if this guy was someone Colin worked with, or a professional contact. Or maybe he'd just lined up this top online.
Whatever, it was hot as fuck. Anon Bro fucked faster and harder and the blindfold made every nerve in my body come alive. Pretty soon, Anon Bro fucked for his nut, jackrabbit pounding that thick tool deep into me.
"FUCK!" he cried and I felt his hips stiffen.
He slowly withdrew and like that my boyfriend was going for sloppy seconds. His pace was more rushed now, eager to get off. His lubed fist curled around my pole and I felt my own dick seize in pleasure. A few up and down strokes match Colin's in and out motions. I shot high and heavy on my bare muscled body.
Colin got off big in the process and then after he slowed to a stop he reached over and removed my blindfold. The light was low in the room but still felt bright and as I adjusted my eyes, C was undoing the restraints. Anon Bro had already split.
"Fuck, that was hot, babe," Colin hissed before meeting me in a soft romantic kiss. Then, "I knew you'd like that."
***
I did like it. And C and I talked about it a lot. I told him it wasn't something I'd want to do a lot, but I'd want to try that again for sure.
C didn't wait too long though. It was about a month later, and I didn't see it coming. No telltale signs, no constant checking of his phone. Just a Saturday night bondage time, me with my legs pulled back in a new restraining bar C had ordered online. That evening he rimmed me for 20 solid minutes while my arms and spread legs were locked in place for him.
"Damn, that's nice, Drew," he hissed as he started finger lube into my hole. I wasn't blindfolded this time and I could see the excited yet focused look on his face. A second finger went in and twisted. C looked up with an impish look on his face. "My hot little muscle bro up for something fun?" he asked.
"What?" I asked.
Colin grinned. "I lined up another cock for your hungry hole." His look challenged me. I could use the safe word. I could even say no. But I had enjoyed it last time and was intrigued what it would be like without the blindfold.
"Fuck yeah, C," I growled, trying to push my ass up on to his hand. I did wonder how long it would take for the other top to be there.
Only C didn't even take his eyes off my naked, bound body or remove his hand. He just called out. "Come on, he's ready."
I knew the man who walked in. It was Paul Richards, Colin's dad. Completely naked and walking in with a hardon and a real lusty look. The man must have let himself in with a spare key, but I wondered how long he'd been waiting.
From that moment, Colin's sexual energy transfered to his father. The two kissed, tongue and all on the bed, then Colin scooted out of the way. He actually reached down and stroked his dad's cock, wetting it up with some lube. Then Mr. Richards lined up with my exposed and defenseless hole.
This was the man who'd been friendly to me as his son's boyfriend. The man I'd seen at holiday dinners and would see at holiday dinners for years to come. The man who seemed like a normal suburban father of two.
I was an emotional mess. Turned on but knowing this would majorly complicate things in the future. And I didn't know of Colin's sexual connection with his father but I now knew that they two had shared the ultimate taboo.
"Giraffe," came the safe word. Only it didn't come out of my mouth. It got stuck halfway up my throat. Blocked by nervousness, or horniness, or both.
That father cock breached my hole. Mr. Richards was bigger hung than Colin even and I felt him stretch me. Unlike his son, Paul wasn't verbal. He just fucked, a little roughness to his strokes. Metronome rhythm, possessive fuck. It turned me on like crazy.
He was in a zone, determined, and that went on for about three minutes. The sexual tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife. Then Colin stopped massaging my body and stepped up to his dad. Met his father in a deep kiss.
That did it. My hands were restrained but I had my first hands-free orgasm. All while my boyfriend's father fucked it out of me.
Paul Richards moaned into Colin's mouth and I was getting good and seeded. He pulled out finally and he and C both had big grins on their faces. Then Mr. Richards' hand pushed C's head down. Colin knew where to go. He leaned forward and took his father's spermy cock into his mouth. My total top boyfriend was doing clean up duty on his father. Paul had a dreamy, almost proud look on his face then he finally looked at me, still in my restraints and spoke to me for the first time.
"I didn't believe Colin that you'd be into that... fuck."
My legs were pulled apart and I felt my asshole exposed, now oozing with C's dad's seed. My own cum growing runny on my smooth chest. I felt vulnerable in every way.
"Please tell me that's not the only time we do this," I finally said.
Colin pulled off his dad's dick and looked at me with a loving smile. Then he leaned in and kissed me with those wet lips, giving me a taste of his dad's cock.

Can we meet your Friends? Or your family? (If you have them)
Tumblr media
"Oh! Why sure I can talk about my friends and family ain't used to important questions like this."
((this will be a long post)) click the read more
"On the family side no actual people."
"But I do consider Toof the *walrus* to be my child! Granted I guess you can say all the walrus my family. I love thoes bastards, I used to consider Richard my daughter but... well after she passed away and came back to life, she's both literarily and figuratively DEAD to me."
Tumblr media
"As for my friends? well I got at least 6 of them, I could call close friends! and I have many more but these are the ones I'd say I'm closest with and have the most history."
"Let's see there's Moth Man, though we only get to hang out a few times per year. Like mentioned in the past I paid for his top surgery so I do care for that funky moth quite a bit."
"There's Doom Slayer which is quite the fella! Usually when we hang out together I join him during one of his hunts killing demons, we play poker at least once per year. And there's also fun fishing trips where he puts a hook into my back and uses me like bait. We don't talk much but let me tell you great guy, always calls me a freak and abomination he's got a fun way of showing love like constantly trying to rip and tear me in half!"
Tumblr media
"And of course I have plenty of fellow phone headed friends but let's start with one that's related thanks to my business!"
"Gemni The Phone Guy, ((owned by @gemnis-trash-fazbenders / @sorrowful--owl ))"
"Gemni has been pretty busy for quite awhile, so haven't had much time to actually spend with him, he opened his own Fazbender restaurant in 2020 and is housed in Australia.
He's the one who supplies me with kangaroo tails, he's an absolute goober always making necklaces out of bones which he calls *clicky clacks* due to the sound they make.
He's a sweet guy though has his own dark past, pretty sure he was one of the workers working in Abel's location... Before uh the incident yeah his mind is all scrambled poor fella I feel bad for him, he's not really able to feel much in terms of emotion but he seems genuinely happy and I hope to spend more time with him in the future!"
Tumblr media
"Speaking of Gemni that brings me to my next friend who you all should know very well the one and only..."
"Robert The Cannibalistic Phone Guy, ((owned by @not-robert / @clownsuu ))"
"I met him back in December of 2019 it's around the time Gemni first started getting his restaurant getting set up and started sending me shipments of kangaroo tails, it was nearing Christmas so I wanted a big shipment and when it arrived the only thing in the box was a big buff cannibalistic zombie man who was drunk."
"Let me tell you he was confused as hell also very angry when he woke up, strangled me till my head popped off! Yeah Robert's a real fella just seeing me for the first time confused the hell out of him, though I don't know everything about his origins he's been around a VERY long time."
"Of course after he found out he couldn't kill me that just made him even more pissed and we had a little bit of a fight, eventually managed to calm him down and explained who I was. And ever since that day we've been buds!"
"I feed him all the meat products he could ever need and he dosen't kill my customers and also I can make him do whatever I want, like dressing up in costumes or promoting the restaurant hell it's because of him I have a karaoke bar!"
He also gave me the idea for the bowling alley, he might be an asshole but he's fun to have around. Plus if he wanted to leave he always could but he sticks around because I know he likes me to. That or I'm so cursed it just keeps drawing his attention and he can't help but see what I do next."
Tumblr media
"Ah, and of course we have... ugh he's gonna freak out once he sees this post... the little nightmare child known only as..."
"Chuck The Fanboy ((owned by @chuck-the-fanboy / @lazy-charlie ))
"Look, I don't wanna feed into his little obsession but I guess, I will admit ... I care for the little guy. He's just a kid after all even if he's no longer alive, I might treat him like shit sometimes but thats because the kids obsessed with me no idea why honestly."
"I met him for the first time in I think 2017 and he was still alive back then, poor kid walked into my restaurant wearing ripped and torn clothes he looked like he was basically starving. I can't really remember what he looked like but I think he did have orange hair? his skin was also very pale."
"He wanted so badly to buy some food for himself, but he only had a pocket full of pennies... I don't know why but I felt bad for him so I gave him a large soda, a small pepperoni pizza and some french fries to eat... Kid looked at me like I saved his life, like I said I can't fully remember his face but let me tell you he looked so excited."
"I stayed and watched him eat and then he left... I didn't see him again untill 2020 when he walked back in one day with Robert, when he walked back into my restaurant that day... His skin was a green color, and he had one of thoes new chatter phones for a head."
"The kid had drowned in a pond that's all he remembers, he has no idea how he got his new head. All he does remember is waking up and suddenly having a duck trying to warm him up, he calls the duck queen and he treats it like his mother."
"Ever since that day when he came back, he's basically refused to leave and he's became obsessed with me, to the point he calls himself my biggest fan, kinda why he's known as **chuck the fanboy.** He's an annoying little brat and despite all the times I kick him, yell at him and such he dosen't lose any of his feelings towards me."
"He's too innocent for this cruel world, let me tell you but on the good side of things at least he can't die again, though there is something about that Queen duck that's strange it dosen't seem like a normal duck sometimes I wonder why? But yes I consider him... A friend EVEN IF IT PAINS ME TO SAY IT BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL DRIVE HIM UP THE WALL."
Tumblr media
"And my last friend worth mentioning has gotta be the one that matches me the most, someone who's chaotic but could never be my level of cursed."
"Bedlam The Chaos God ((owned by @weirdozjunkary ))
"My timeline and universe itself only really has one god and yes sadly it's the Christian one we also have a Satan."
"Bedlam himself is from another universe enterally full of gods for just about everything that exists, there's even an actual PARTY god there, They are a hoot let me tell you."
"But yeah how did I meet Bedlam then? well I met him back in February this year infact! He was feeling pretty bored that day and decided to check out a new universe and discovered mine by accident, once here he had heard about my existence by ease dropping on some people."
"My guess is he thought I was a chaos god like himself, and was keen on meeting me because of it. Should have seen his face when he first walked into my restaurant and layed his eyes upon me, guy was shocked to say the least!"
"He's a pretty intresting fella, he often changes voices seemingly unable to decide what voice fits him properly, I'm sure he'll find his perfect voice one day. He's basically like a living cartoon I swear when we properly got to know eachother we basically reenacted a tom and jerry episode."
"Don't even get me started on the time we robbed a bank he turned the whole place upside down, and smashed the large vault open with a massive cream pie! We didn't even keep the money we just gave it back like an hour later and we had lunch together after."
"Guy, defiantly is weirded out by me, which is surprising since well he's the god of chaos but fair enough I'm alot more cursed then I am chaotic, but we get along fairly well! Though we don't hang out all the time, I'm a little to overstimulating for him, to hang out for long periods of time."
"Let me tell you though? Despite how little time we've known eachother, he's defiantly one of the most fun people I know, he's also great taste in fashion both litearly and figuratively, don't tell him this but last time we hung out I was chewing on one of his horns while he was talking about another god in his world named Llios."
"I will admit, I have a bit of a teething issue sometimes and I like to bite things though he didn't seem to notice."
"I wonder what he's up to? I gotta see if he'd be interested in joining one of my poker games! Next one is coming up real soon, Count Dracula, Sugar Crisp Bear, Santa Claus, Moth Man are gonna be there. And we're short one member since Slender Man's busy and I can't get in contact with Eyeless Jack I think he blocked my number."
Tumblr media
"But yes thank you for the question! Hope this answer satiates your curiosity, feel free to ask more questions about my friends, I'm sure I got more fun stories I can tell about them. I just didn't wanna drag this on for too long."

Stabby Girls, Shakespeare, and Stagecraft, Oh My!
Tumblr media
We have a guest bookshelf today! I was visiting my Nana's house, and it is her beautiful built-in bookshelves that serve as the stage for Brittany Williams's very fun That Self-Same Metal. This book hit literally every major keyword for me: It's set in Stuart England, it has a protagonist with a sword, there are fae involved, Robin Goodfellow uses they/them pronound, and William Freaking Shakespeare goes faerie hunting. It's also similar to Legendborn in that it brings in a West African (specifically in the area now known as Nigeria) inspirations for magic and spirituality, and I love that these aspects of culture are being highlighted both in the historical period of the novel and in contemparay publishing. Let's talk That Self-Same Metal.
I was sold on this book in one sentence: Joan Sands is William Shakespeare's fight coordinator. Then it got better, because there is a broken pact so the fae are loose in Stuart England and have their fingers deep in the Guy Fawkes plot. On top of that, we have Richard Burbage burbaging all over the stage and not doing the fight choreography properly and romance between our fight coordinator and one of the apprentice actors playing all the women's roles. This book is just immensely fun and full of easter eggs for Shakespeareans (professional and casual alike) and theatre kids.
One thing that this book does exceptionally is reflecting the gender fluidity inherent in the world of Elizabethan and Stuart theatre. Not only do you have the layers inherent in acting (in Twelfth Night, for example, you had a boy actor playing a girl who in story is disguised as a boy. There is nothing simple or linear there, it's a wibbly wobbly timey wimey mass) and I love that this book honors and recognizes that. We also have great Bi representation, because instead of trying to pull a love triangle between our main character and a cute boy and cute half-fae girl, the book goes:
Tumblr media
I love it. It is perfection.
Pulling Puck--who has been played by actors all along the gender spectrum--out of the gender binary with they/them pronouns helps to really hammer it home, and we also have background characters across the sexual orientation spectrum as well.
Add to this the fact that the book also highlights the existence of Black people in Shakespeare's day and age and goes in complicated on different levels of racism--from casual to utterly dehumanizing and also to unquestioning acceptance from individuals (noticably not the system, though, which I appreciate)--and honestly the complexity and richness of the world is something that we just do not see in the pop culture mythos we have created around William Shakespeare and his world.
I'm not even gonna address whether the portrayals of historical characters in this novel are accurate or not. I'm not going there, it's too close to the authorship question and we literally do not know enough about Shakespeare in particular to even begin to ask questions of accuracy. I loved Dadspeare in this book; it was fun and made me happy while I was reading it. A+ no notes.
Overall, I had a ton of fun with this book, and despite wanting a little more length and depth from it (in terms of plot, mostly, if I'm being honest) I highly recommend giving it a read. It made my early modern scholar heart happy.

Richard and Sonic the Tulpa
TW// blood, self harm, Tulpamancy, abuse, drug abuse, pills, school massacre, death and murder
I’m Richard Pastel, I don't have any social life nor any friends, just acquaintances that barely tolerate me. I've been jobless for about two years, I'm barely living by a thread at my university. My comfort series is Sonic The Hedgehog, I love the series with the amazing gameplay to the funny shows and the complicated comics. I love the blue blur, he’s so cool in every aspect.
As I was searching up random shit on Reddit, I came up with a new discoverie, Tulpas, some kind of imaginary-friend on steroids? From what I've read I can make one with my mind, to be whatever I want it to be, a being materialized in my brain.
I want one. I deserve a friend, I’m tired of being alone, I'll create one, and make it my best friend forever…
I went all out, I went to all of the posts that talked about it, and started taking notes on how to do it step by step.
I could not wait, I was so excited, I can finally have someone to talk to! someone who would understand me, someone who wouldn’t abandon me.
Now, it’s pretty obvious who’s gonna be the lucky one, Sonic. I've loved him since I was a child. His games,shows and comics were there for me, now HE will be here for me.
So it started, I wrote some notes on how Sonic would act, his personality, basically how I want him to be, alongside I drew a small doodle of him, sadly I messed up by how fast I was doing it, I colored his arms blue, such a dumb mistake, god dammit.
But let’s get to the point. I've set up in my bed laying on the wall, while my computer was playing Marble Zone from Sonic 1, I closed my eyes and started… praying? 
I was really concentrating on creating Sonic, I didn't open my eyes for a while.
until, i’ve heard something, I opened my eyes, the sound continued, was coming off the kitchen, i’ve ran into there to see what happened, 
Standing there it was, Sonic the Hedgehog, the blue blur himself, but there were some noticeable differences, he was not wearing his gloves nor his shoes, and his arms were blue? But i was too excited to care about it now, I couldn't believe it, it worked! My cheeks were burning from happiness
“You good there lil buddy?”
“IT WORKED! IT WORKED!”
I jumped up and down
“Hey buddy! Slow down there!!”
“Sorry- I just got a little excited”
I kneel down to be in his view.
“So, you’re the tulpa I created?”
“Yup! on the flesh! Or whatever i’m made out of haha”
“Hehe, What an awful joke!”
Sonic made a silly face.
We get out of the dorm and went to the campus.
“What a beautiful day!”
Sonic said while running in circles around me.
After we spent the afternoon walking and taking interviews for job opportunities, I got in my dorm.
I invited Sonic to my room, and he rapidly sat in my bed.
“damn what’s all this stuff? How do you sleep in here?”
He remarked looking at all my hoarding stored in my bed.
I felt pretty offended, so I ignored the question.
I lay in bed and fastly sleep
The tulpa decided to sleep next to me, similar to a cat.
I slowly wake up, to a sound of Sonic trying to wake me up
“Richard, wake up, wake up you’re gonna be late for class!!” 
“uuuugh okay, i’m getting up!”
I get my materials packed up and go to the classroom, and there i am sitting alone near the window again, but now i have Sonic, he sit on the empty chair, he gives me a huge smile, i give back a small smile
the lesson goes as normal, as i was leaving Tom raynott came up to me
“Hey there Rich! How’s it going my guy?”
“What do you want Raynott?”
“Sorry to bother you, but you’re still looking for a job, right? Me and friends found a ice cream shop nearby that’s hiring and i though-”
“You think I need your help?! I can do this myself, I don't need your pity, okay, Raynott?!”
Kyle Goldman get’s in front of Tom, towering over me.
“Look my guy, Tom just wanted to help you, I don't know why you’re acting up like this!”
“Kyle it’s okay-”
I let out a sigh before I left the classroom, and when I was in the corridor I heard Tom’s voice from the classroom.
“See you next class Richard!”
Walking to the cafeteria, i heard fast footsteps behind me, ii give a look behind my shoulder and see Sonic
“Hey Rich, what happened there?”
“Look, i don’t like people rubbing my struggles in my face”
“Don’t you think he was trying to help?-” “Are you just gonna be nagging me? Look i don’t need help”
“i’m sorry…”
“let’s just get something to eat, i’m starving”
“Yeah me too…”
We get to the cafeteria, get a basic cheap lunch, i fastly eat it, and I see Sonic with a sad expression.
“I still feel hungry…”
“Me too, but I barely have money to buy anything that will fill my belly.”
“Oh…”
“Just let’s go…”
“Okay…”
We get in class, as the professor talks, i get light headed, not a surprised, this is normal at this point, i briefly try to close my eyes, but Sonic comes up to me, talks loud so i don’t sleep
“Rich! Don’t sleep, you need to pay attention!”
“Richard! Wake up!! Wake up!!”
“CAN YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!”
Then I notice everyone starts to look at me, And the professor glares at me with an angry expression.
“Sir Pastel, if you don’t want to take this class, the door is right there, I think it is better for you to leave if you’re gonna keep up this attitude.”
Everyone starts to laugh, I pick my bag, and quickly get out of the classroom, my eyes watering in rage by the shame I felt. As i fastly walked to my dorm room, I slammed the door shut, I sat in my bed and started crying. Sonic gets near me.
“Rich, Why did you scream? You needed to pay attention to the class!”
“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! WHY CAN’T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE AND SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR FIVE SECONDS?!”
“I’m… only trying to help… I'm sorry…”
“I AM TIRED OF YOUR BULLSHIT, WHY DON’T YOU DO WHAT I TELL YOU?? WHY CAN’T YOU JUST- AARRGH”
Sonic looks down with an expression of guilt and fear, almost crying.
“I’m so-sorry…”
I get a boxcutter in my drawer, I extend it, and fastly cut my wrist.
“AAAHHH!!! w-wha…” 
I get scared by the sudden scream coming from Sonic, he’s holding his wrist, with blood coming out of it, the same spot i cutted it my wrist.
“What was that?!”
“you… hurted me…”
“I did nothing to you!”
“it hurts…”
“Can you stop whining??”
“Rich, please, it hurts…”
“It’s just a cut, it will heal soon, can you please stop whining?!”
“It hurts…”
“STOP WHINING!”
As I screamed, I heard I knocked at my door, I let out a tired sigh and went to answer the door.
“Hey Rich! Just wanted to check up on you, is everything alright?”
It was Tom Raynott, trying to nag me again.
“I’m alright Raynott, please leave.”
I try to close the door me Tom pulled the door to not close
“Hey man, you had an outburst in the class today, you know i’m always here for you, just tell me what happened.”
He makes that cute but annoying puppy eyes
as he’s holding the door, he notices my bloody wrist.
“What 's that?”
“HEY!-”
He picks my wrist with a strong grip, looking at my cut, then at me with a disappointed expression.
“Oh…”
“If I tell you what’s happening will you leave me alone Raynott?”
“Pinky promise! just let me help you Rich”
“I’ve been hearing voices these past days, i can’t barely concentrate, and and i can’t find a job, and i’ve had barely nothing to eat, and I’m just tired… I just feel like I’ll drop dead at any moment.”
“oohh… i’m so sorry to hear that Rich, look, i can’t do much, but i can give you some help”
“I feel pretty ashamed, but I'm very desperate. anything that works is good for me at this point.”
“Well me and my friend Romeo are able to get some meds, I could lend you some to help calm the voices down a little, how does that sound?”
“Sounds great, thanks Tom.”
“AAWWNN YOU SAID MY NAME-”
I immediately frowned and slammed the door in his face.
With a muffled sound I hear Tom.
“HEYY!! Richh, don’t be so meeeeaan”
“Stop acting like this, just give me the meds Raynott”
“Oki doki! brb! And please, don’t hurt yourself, is not good”
“Okay Raynott.”
“W-what do you think you’re doing?!”
I see Sonic standing with a worried look on his face.
“...”
“P-please Richard don’t, i promise i’ll be better, i promise i’ll stop nagging you, just please don’t”
“I don’t even remember why I created you.”
He gets on his knees and starts sobbing.
I hear the knocking again, I open the door, Tom Raynott again, now with Romeo Jones beside him.
“Hope you don’t mind i bringed Romeo too!”
“Sup”
“It’s okay, did you bring the meds?”
“Oh yeah it’s here!”
He brings out a pack of Xanax and Paroxetine, I picked up the pack and thanked them.
“Thanks Raynott”
“Don’t forget to thank my pal Romeo too, he’s the one who gets the meds”
“sigh…  Thanks you too Ivey”
“Don’t need to act like it’s a chore man, and don’t call me that, just call me Romeo.”
“...You two can go now, i’ll see if it works, thanks for the help”
I close the door, and hear their footsteps heading out, as I turn my back and I see Sonic still sobbing on the floor.
“P-please give me another chance! I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’M SORRY
I’M SORRY
𝕀’𝕄 𝕊𝕆ℝℝ𝕐
ⓘ’𝓜 𝓢𝐎ℝℝ¥”
He grabs my feet pleading to me, to not take the pill, i can’t handle this pity party, i can’t handle this brat anymore. In rage, I kick his face, it starts to bleed immediately from his nose, now he’s crying louder than before. I fastly get to the kitchen and get a cup of water, I drink both pills down, as I wait for them to take effect, I look and see Sonic on the floor mopping.
“I-i’m so-sorry, I'm sorry for failing you Rich… I promise I'll be better…”
I just get in bed and I try to sleep. As i wake up, i pick up my phone seeing i was late for class, i get my bag and quickly get in the classroom. As i open the door everyone looks at me, I can feel each one’s thoughts on me… and the professor looks at me with a very disappointed look.
“Hm… late again i see Sir Pastel, go to your seat”
“yes sir…”
I get on my seat, and everything goes as normal. Finally, that brat is not in my ear 24/7 anymore. I feel my head is spinning, and my vision is blurry, but I stand my ground. I won’t leave the class until it is over this time. And before i even know it, the class is over, Tom comes near me and touches my shoulder.
“Hey Rich, you good?”
“yeah, yeah, the annoying voice stopped now”
“Glad to hear that! Also would you like to change contacts? Since we’re friends now hehe”
“huh…? okay…”
I pick my phone and give it to him so he can put his number, while he does the same with me. 
“Call me whenever ya need Rich!”
“Thanks Raynott.”
He made a peace sign and left the classroom with his friends, with Kyle Goldmann strangely missing? those two were glued like moths to lamps, but whatever not my problem. I wanted to eat something, but my money ran out. I feel my eyes water, but there’s nothing for me to do.
I just get to my room, and get on my bed, just feeling tired and sad.
Why can't I do anything right?
I just want to die.
as my self hating thoughts consume me, i slowly fell a sleep
“PLEASE COME BACK, I’M SORRY I PROMISE I’LL BE BETTER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PᴸEᴬSᴱ”
I woke up five hours later, all sweaty and hyperventilating, I felt my heart sink, I looked at the end of my bed, standing there… was Sonic…
but he looked a little different, his fur had grown a little darker, some fluff growed from his cheeks and he was filled with bruises on his thighs and wrists.
“W-what…”
“I MISSED YOU
I MISSED YOU SO BAD
SO BAD
𝕀 м𝐈SS𝕖𝒹 Ƴόย
ᔕỖ 𝓢ⓞ BⒶᵈ 
my head felt so dizzy, i couldn't see anything, but YOU’RE BACK! “
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”
“The meds effect wore off, but i’ve learned my lesson, i promise i’ll not fail you this time.”
He looked desperate, but I was having none of that shit. I tried to get to the kitchen to get the last pills but Sonic was desperate to not disappear again.
“NO PLEASE, PLEASE NO, I PROMISE I’LL BE BETTER”
When my hands get near the pills, he starts screaming, and hears bleeding screaming, and I accidentally dropped them.
“STOP IT SCREAMING, STOP IT!!! AAAHHH!!! SHUT UP!”
As the screaming continued, it came to a pause when I heard a knock at the door. I opened to see it was Maxwell Jones, my neighbor. I think he heard me screaming.
“Hey mate, you good? I heard some screaming from my room.”
“I’m just- Wait you’re Raynott’s friend right?”
“You mean Tom? yeah we are-”
“DO YOU HAVE ANY XANAX WITH YOU?”
“No i don’t… but i do have adderall”
“Would that calm the voices down?”
“Fuck no, that’s a focus drug”
“Fuuucccckkkk”
“I can call Tom if ya want”
“PLEASE!!!”
“Sheesh, okay just wait a sec”
Maxwell picks his phone and calls Tom, i just observe while he’s talking
“Hey Tom, you know your friend Richard? 
Yeah the smelly one.
Look, he said he needs some help, and can you be here to help him out a lil bit?
he has been screaming, and i want to study, please come quick.”
As we wait, we hear some fast footsteps, we see Tom running down the hall, when he gets near he almost trips over himself.
“Sorry! Got here as fast as I could! Here I bringed some more meds!”
He brings out a small plastic bag with some drugs, I could not recognize most of them.
“Would these help silence the voices?’
“Well, not forever, I've noticed you’re not that well put together, so I recommend talking to a professional.”
“That’s not an option.”
“Oh..”
he looked at me with a worried expression, then he looked at Maxwell, Maxwell made a shrug expressing i was a lost cause.
“Be careful with those, just take one at a time, it might be dangerous”
“Is okay, thank you.”
“Are you really gonna do this?”
I see Sonic standing in the corner, strangely more tall and thin than before, with even more cuts on his wrists and thighs.
“I AM DONE WITH YOU. YOU JUST MADE MY LIFE WORSE.”
“I thought you wanted me? I thought you wanted a friend?”
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!”
“I’M ONLY DOING WHAT YOU WANTED RICHARD.”
“YOU RE USELESS! YOU’RE A GOOD FOR NOTHING, I HATE YOU, I WISH YOU WERE DEAD YOU LITTLE IMBECILE SHIT!”
“...”
Tears started to fall from his face, he gags a little.
I pick up the pills, he immediately notices my intentions.
“Don’t you dare Richard.”
I picked all the pills at once and gulp them down, was hard with no water, but I did it.
“NO NO NO NO Ňσ η𝐎 几𝕆!!!”
He starts to contort, scream, and… grow?
His body expands, his ribs tear through his skin, exposing it, his face disappearing, a X scar expands and his body gets more abstract. like gas is coming out of him??
“WHAT THE FUCK?!”
My head gets a little dizzy, it seems like taking all of the drugs at once was not a good idea at all…
Sonic… no. that thing, starts to laugh like a maniac, As the laughter gets louder and louder and I feel my body getting heavier, and it all went black.
As I slowly wake up, or atleast hope I woke up, I see that I'm in my bed, but… 
what?
I can’t- I CAN’T MOVE MY BODY?!
Why? Why? WHY???
As i try to struggle, i hear a laughter
I try to speak, but I can't.
Is that thing again, i can’t even make out what expression it’s making.
“Seems like your plan backfired hahaha…”
Those meds! I shouldn't have taken them all at once, maybe they’re the reason I'm paralyzed now.
“Exactly…”
It slowly walked near the bed, then it got up in the bed, holding my shoulders and breathing near my face, I could feel it like it was real. Is this really happening?? I’m scared
Please just let me go
“WHY??”
“KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF”
He screamed in my ear for what felt like hours. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I want to call for help, but I can't. I want to scream; but I can’t.
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?
I DON’T WANT TO DIE.
“KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOUSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF, KILL YOURSELF”
It feels like days i’ve been in here, unable to move, hearing this screaming non stop, please make this torture stop!
Then he stopped, he looked directly in my eyes. Those terrifying dilated eyes.
“I promise I'll make you happy…”
As it said those words, I hear a loud bang coming from my door, It was Tom?? please Tom save me.
As i hear the fast footsteps get to my room
I see a dagger go through the Tulpa’s body and stab me in the abdomen. I could not recognize the person who did this.
The Tulpa fastly notices what just happened, but it screams in confusion and denial.
“NO NO NO NO Ňσ η𝐎 几𝕆!!!”
ACK!-
it got on my Arteries, I don’t want to die! Not this way, not right now, please… It feels so cold.
I feel all my blood coming out, I feel my bed all wet.
“PLEASE RICHARD, STAY WITH ME”
I don’t want to die, please, I'm sorry Tom.
“RICHARD PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK AT ME”
I feel lighter, and… i… can’t… hear… him… anymore…
                         X
“NO NO NO NO Ňσ η𝐎 几𝕆!!!”
“I Can’t feel him anymore… where did he go?”
“Rich? please… i’m sorry”
“What happened…?”
“Where did he go…?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“Please come back!”
“I promise i’ll do better”
“i-i i promise i won’t annoy you again”
“Rich… please come back…”
As Tulpa was weeping, a police officer passed by the door and saw Richard’s body
“CHIEF! We got another one!”
“Wow, he got killed in his sleep, poor guy.”
“This is such a tragedy…”
“LEAVE!!!”
Tulpa screams, but they can’t hear him, so his only choice is to ignore them.
After some time a team comes and take Richard’s body
Tulpa tried to stop them, but he couldn't 
“LEAVE HIM ALONE!! GET OFF HIM!”
After they got in the car, Tulpa was unable to keep up.
“Please don’t go…”
