Ranking the top 10 most pathetic SJM men

10: Ithan Holstrom Come on, if you didn't think him simping for Bryce after knowing her for like 5 seconds was pathetic then idk what is. Also, him being mad about the Fendyr heir being enslaved and stealing fire sprites for revenge will never not be hilarious

9: Fenrys Moonbeam Bro was so desperate to escape Maeve that he almost killed himself. Then he had that "You'd rather my queen die than your king" line. Like bro is Aelin's dog at this point.

8. Eris Vanserra Thanks to @kateduchessofdolittle for making me see how pathetic Eris is.

-Fiancee goes to *great lengths* to get out their engagement. After all that, bro still bailed her out by dealing with her father Keir in ACOSF

- Got to be a passive little bitch to monster father

- seems to be a surrogate father to the *worst* people

- he's giving mama's boy

- his allies taunt him with another engagement and she laughs in his face too

At least he has his dogs.

7. Hunt Athalar Not sure how to explain this one. It's just the *vibes*

6. Tarquin Poor Tarquin. I felt so bad for him during that Feyre-Tarquin scene in ACOMAF (one of these days I shall write the Feyquin fanfic and rectify Feyre's mistakes here).

5. Ruhn Danaan You may be surprised Ruhn is so high up on this list. But bro, Hypaxia duped him so badly. Also, he was so desperate to get back in his sister Bryce's good books. Here are just a few examples from the book:

Ruhn bared his teeth at Maximus as the glowering vamp headed toward the golden steps. “Riso called me a few minutes ago and said you were here. With that fucking creep.” “Excuse me?” Her voice sharpened. It had nothing to do with the fact that she highly doubted the diplomatic club owner had used those terms. Riso was more the type to say, She’s with someone who might cause the dancing to cease. Which would have been Riso’s idea of Hel. Ruhn said, “Riso can’t risk tossing Tertian to the curb—he implied the prick was being handsy and you needed backup.” A purely predatory gleam entered her brother’s eyes. “Don’t you know what Tertian’s father does?” She grinned, and knew it didn’t reach her eyes. None of her smiles did these days. “I do,” she said sweetly. Ruhn shook his head in disgust. Bryce leaned forward to grab her drink, each movement controlled—if only to keep from taking the water and throwing it in his face. “Shouldn’t you be home?” Ruhn asked. “It’s a weekday. You’ve got work in six hours.” “Thanks, Mom,” she said.

She just opened the door. “If you hear anything about the Viper Queen, call me.” Ruhn stiffened, his heart thundering. “Do not provoke her.” “Bye, Ruhn.” He was desperate enough that he said, “I’ll go with you to—” “Bye.”

She flinched as Ruhn said at her ear, “You don’t need to see this.” This was another murder. Another body. Another year. A medwitch even knelt before the body, a wand buzzing with firstlight in her hands, trying to piece the corpse—the girl—back together. Ruhn tugged her away, toward the screen and open air beyond— The movement shook her loose. Snapped the droning in her ears. She yanked her body free from his grip, not caring if anyone else saw, not caring that he, as head of the Fae Aux units, had the right to be here. “Don’t fucking touch me.” Ruhn’s mouth tightened. But he looked over her shoulder to Hunt. “You’re an asshole.”

Ruhn was in the apartment lobby when Fury dropped her off. Tharion left them at the docks, saying he was going to help haul in the seized synth shipment, and Fury departed fast enough that Bryce knew she was heading out to make sure the Viper Queen didn’t abscond with any of it, either. Ruhn said nothing as they rode the elevator. But she knew Fury had told him. Summoned him here. Her friend had been messaging someone on the walk back from the docks. And she’d spied Flynn and Declan standing guard on the rooftops of her block, armed with their long-range rifles. Her brother didn’t speak until they were in the apartment, the place dark and hollow and foreign. Every piece of clothing and gear belonging to Hunt was like an asp, ready to strike. That bloodstain on the couch was the worst of all. Bryce made it halfway across the great room before she puked all over the carpet. Ruhn was instantly there, his arms and shadows around her. She could feel her sobs, hear them, but they were distant. The entire world was distant as Ruhn picked her up and carried her to the couch, keeping away from that spot where she’d yielded herself entirely to Hunt. But he made no comment about the bloodstain or any lingering scent. 4. Lucien Vanserra (or Spell-Cleaver? Vanserra sounds better)

Ah, Lucien, Lucien, Lucien. My poor baby just wants somebody to marry him. Does it get any more pathetic than "I'm a mated male now?" My man prepares for rejection every holiday without fail. He and Lucien did not exchange gifts, though the male had brought a gift for Feyre and one for his mate, who barely thanked him after opening the pearl earrings. Cassian’s heart strained at the pain etching deep into Lucien’s face as he tried to hide his disappointment and longing. 3. Chaol Westfall I don't think many people remember Lithaen, but Chaol was in love with her and she fucked Dorian's cousin instead. Also there was this:

Babe, ily but wtf. You ran into a different fucking dimension to save your ex-girlfriend's DOG??? Talk about pathetic. 2. Lorcan Salvaterre Bro abandoned the queen he served more loyally than any of the rest of the cadre the moment a tiny little human with witch blood showed a little cleavage and bossed him around. Bro wanted to be someone's bitch SO BAD. He RIPPED his shirts up for her periods even after she refused to even speak with him and said she hopes he's miserable and spends the rest of his life alone (and threatened to gut Rowan and Gavriel if they ever told her it was him). He swore a blood oath to his greatest enemy just to protect her and lost the will to live when she called him a monster. Absolutely fucking pathetic and we love him for it. 1. Tamlin It was a close fight to first, but nobody can beat Tamlin in the pathetic category. For one, of all the love interests we have seen, he is in possession of the least rizz. Negative rizz, actually. Lucien actually roasted him so badly for his negative rizz, and Lucien personally backed off so Tamlin and his negative rizz could rizz up Feyre. Bro sacrificed all of PRYTHIAN to keep Feyre safe, bartered with his enemy to get her back, only to have her destroy his court. Even after that, he saved her life at the Hybern camp and revived her mate. And unlike the others above, he didn't get the girl, and probably won't get any girl, actually. We could always put him up for adoption and one of the members of the fandom can take him? Maybe??? Maybe @kateduchessofdolittle will take him.

stray kids as your halloween costume partner 🎃🕯️

disclaimer: the pictures are just meant as a reference ^^ feel free to alter it to your liking~

bang chan: the corpse bride and victor

sauur :(

you were balls-deep in some Loving Chris Juice when you suggested this

dude had NO IDEA how in love with him u were

so you kinda just

“haha we should dress as the corpse bride…jk…but we should”

Chan didn’t really say anything he just kinda shrugged his shoulders and agreed

you guys ended up going to a party chan had been invited to earlier in the month

which honestly kinda annoyed you since you had wanted to go trick-or-treating but didn’t say anything

The entire night you kinda just hovered around chan, inwardly crying whenever a person came to flirt with him

“you good?”

“yeah, just kinda bored since I don’t know anyone here”

“wanna go trick-or-treating? instead”

lee minho: gomez and morticia addams

Minho took it seriously when you told him the addams family was your favourite movie

he promptly suggested you guys dress as gomez and morticia

even going as far as dyeing his hair black that night

“babe, c’mon. you know i’d look amazing in a suit,” he winked

there was really no arguing with minho once he had made up his mind about something

plus, he really did look good in a suit

cue you staring at his ass all night

you had both opted for giving out candy the entire night, dramatically opening the door together whenever you got a knock

halloween night was chill for the pair of you

you gave out candy

you made out a bunch

and you were knocked out in bed by 10 pm

seo changbin: rapunzel and flynn rider

LISTEN

you have had a vision since even BEFORE you started dating changbin

Changbin was the absolute embodiment of flynn

The Confidence? Check

The Charms? Check

The Face? Check

The Body? Check

The Absolute Need to be flirting with you? Check

not to mention how much of a softie he truly was

Changbin was absolutely perfect as flynn, you will not be taking any objections

he was absolutely down to wearing matching costumes with you

maybe even more excited than you to be dressed as flynn but anyway

you spent your night with your friends, having fun trick-or-treating and trading candies together

“you already know i hate reeses cups why are you trying to trade them with me!!”

one thing about changbin

he was going to whine about nothing

“Fine! Here! take me snickers!”

hwang hyunjin: howl and sophie

I mean hello

Who are we Fooling here

Hyunjin Is Literally Howl

it was actually hyunjin that came up with the idea to dress as howl and sophie

He had started to grow out his hair the year before when you watched the movie to be able to dress as him

“YOU LOOK SO CUTE DRESSED A SOPHIE”

He wouldn’t stop hugging you

or shaking you by the shoulders

You were a little scared he was going to end up hurting you by accident with how much he was shaking you

“Hyunjin please let go of me”

“BUT YOU LOOK SO CUTE WITH YOUR GREY HAIR”

pls help idk why hyunjin’s is so hard to write for im sorry my hyune likers i tried

han jisung: raven and beast boy

ok look

Jisung is a certified Alt Girl Lover™️

and who is more of an alt girl than the og raven

he couldn’t wait to bring the idea up to you

boy was literally shaking while explaining his idea to you

he was so excited lmao

As his best friend, you had no choice but to follow along

“Only if you go as beast boy”

“bro are you kidding? I’ve had the costume for like a week already?”

“did you buy me mine?”

“uh, no. get your own shit”

You did in fact make him buy you your costume on halloween night

He got it off craigslist and only washed it once :/

You ended up going to a club and getting drunk together

“Haha wouldn’t it be crazy if we kissed?”

“jisung , it this your way of asking to kiss me?”

“maybe”

lee felix: beauty and the beast

“I think felix would look prettier as belle”

seo changbin how could you

of course felix suggested you to be belle but your pride had already been hurt by then

so you just let him go as belle

He really did look prettier 😔

It was actually really fun going out in these costumes

A lot of little girls came up to take a picture with him

It was the cutest thing

He did end up asking you to change into your original belle costume you guys ended up going to later on in the night

“Y’know changbin was wrong, right?”

“Nah, you really are so pretty lix.”

suddenly you guys were all sappy for each other

How could u not when felix was dressed like a literal prince

You left the party early to go home and cuddle <3

kim seungmin: ghostface and michael myers

The only one taking this halloween shit SERIOUSLY

at this point in your guys’ friendship, you knew better than to deny seungmin the pleasure of causing chaos

ofc being seungmin’s best friend meant going along with his shenanigans

No Questions Asked

so when he got to your apartment with a ghostface mask and black robe in hand you already knew what was up

“what are you going to be then?”

“your mom”

“Do Not speak on my mother you bitch”

anyway he didn’t end up telling you lmao

he waited until halloween to show you instead

“aren’t you a little too short to be michael myers?”

“I’m going to kill you with a rock”

seungmin spent the entire night terrorizing people like the menace he is

“just so you know, if you end up getting jumped I'm not helping your ass”

yang jeongin: papa smurf

“Is this a bad idea?”

“nah”

It Was A Bad Idea

the blue facepaint stained your face

for Three Days

you had to walk around campus with a blue face

because jeongin wanted to dress up as smurfs

You didn’t really think much about it the day of halloween while jeongin was painting your face

But afterward, you tried beating jeongin’s ass

You got made fun of by the rest of your friend group for being dumbasses but beside that you were pretty okay

All you can remember from halloween night is daring jeongin to climb onto the roof of the house you were at and cannonball into their pool

He missed by a few inches and broke his fibula because of how drunk he was

No regrets

i don’t go here but what happened to penelope garcia’s hair ? isn’t it like shoulder length ? did she cut it ? !

/lh , tell me about penelope garcia please ?

Yay! I love talking about babygirl! Ok, so it looks like she did indeed cut her luscious locks so rip to her long princess curls. They will be missed until they grow back. 💖

Ok, so season 1-15 Penelope was MY GIRL, ok? She was MY GIRL.

She's, like, a super genius super cutie and she's super sweet and kind and loves animals. (Seriously, one of the reasons she started working for the FBI is she was a computer hacker and hacked into the website of a cosmetic company that tests on animals and her options when she got caught were literally work for the FBI or her ass is getting thrown in prison. She chose the FBI. We love a queen that fights for animal wellfare. The other reason was she wanted to get away from her garbage, and I do mean GARBAGE, boyfriend and have a better life.)

I'm pretty sure she has ADHD. Maybe autism. IDK, but she's definitely some kinda neurospicy.

She's a walking sparkly neon rainbow. You know the way Flynn's bedroom is described in the one jatp book? Season 1-15 Penelope is that and I love it.

She went ginger once and it was a whole vibe.

Wow, I love her.

She was super nice to her ex boss all the way from s1 to his departure in early s12, and I'm 99% sure was the only one that actually called him bossman or sir bc everyone else just called him Aaron or by his nickname, Hotch. She was really good at making him smile, which actually wasn't that hard but people exaggerate the rarity of a Hotch smile for some reason.

After that, she was still really nice to the replacement he handpicked, Emily Prentiss, who she already adored after working with her since s2.

Hotch was literally physically incapable of saying no to this woman and she fully knew and took advantage of that shit, ok? Seriously, one time, Penelope made a joke like "who could say no to me?" and Hotch just smirked a little bit because he knew he couldn't say anything. Penelope does an incredible imitation of the pleading emoji. Or the Puss In Boots face. Whatever you wanna call this:

"Boss, I want you to hire Tara. 🥺" "Ok. Tell everyone else the position has been filled." "Boss, I don't wanna eat dinner alone. Do you want a veggie omelette? 🥺" "Ok. Do you have jalapeños?"

The hilarious thing is she doesn't even have to make that face. She does it to mess with him.

And then there's her, uh...... interesting little flirtationship with Derek Morgan. Or as Penelope calls him, chocolate thunder. He loves that name and encourages it. He calls her babygirl. They also have about a million other adorable pet names for each other.

*gestures at these gifs* They love each other so much, it's kind of gross. I've said before that before I actually started watching and only had the massive comp of him calling her that, I genuinely really thought Morcia was canon. Like, oh, my GOD, dude. These two are disgustingly obsessed with each other. The shit they say on work calls. He calls her sexy and brilliant Goddess and told her it drives him crazy when "she talks that voulez coucher stuff to him". Like, hello? Honestly, I'm amazed Derek only had to sit through one HR lecture about creating a hostile work environment. Or at least, we only saw one.

Then there's her very sweet friendship with baby genius, boy wonder, good doctor, Agent Doctor Spencer Reid.

MY BABIES. I LOVE THEM. I want them back. Gimme back my Penny², damnit.

And her very sweet friendship with Matt Simmons! Oh, my god. I love them. 🥰🥰🥰

They're cute and I wish at least Penelope mentioned Matt in season 16 more.

Penelope and Luke! Oh, my God. Penelope and Luke.

They are in love and both think it's unrequited and it's exhausting but at least s12-15 were FUN. Mostly.

Season 16 Penelope, though....

Season 16 Penelope got abducted by aliens. Or lobotomized. Hard to tell.

#criminal minds #criminal minds evolution #penelope garcia #i'd go more in depth but this got long oops #i just love her

so i finally finished hofas. and don’t come for me, but this is officially my least favorite SJM book. spoilers and my thoughts below

this book was just so messy. it felt rushed, felt stuffed full of all these plot threads, and so many side characters were just shoved to the wayside. Like what was even the point of Sigrid? All home girl did was die so Ithan could become Prime. The story could have basically been the exact same without her character. Flynn and Declan largely felt interchangeable. Celestina, Naomi, and Isaiah could have also been left out and the story wouldn't have changed. Hypaxia was there, but we saw hardly any development on her arc or learned anything about her. And don't even get me started on Fury and Juniper (aka the glorified Uber drivers). There were too many characters and not enough time/focus on their development which left them feeling flat / useless.

As for Bryce…yikes. She came across as a discount Aelin with a cellphone and no regard for others trauma. I really don’t like the characterization of her in this book, which is a shame because I LOVED her in CC1. She came across as childish, petty, selfish, and brash. I found some of her "sassy one-liners" to be very cringey.

Lidia Cervos and Nesta Archeron deserve a fucking metal for carrying the entire book on their backs because miss Bryce certainly didn’t.

Now the world building…as a high fantasy girlie, the world building in this book was a treat. I loved all the lore, the history, the explanations we got, and the setup for the next ACOTAR book is truly impeccable (more to come on this later…). Howeverrr the plot of this book just fell a little flat for me. It felt messy, disjointed between all the POV switches, and I feel a lot of plot threads just went...nowhere (ie: the thunder birds, Viktoria the wraith, Ariadne and her dragon fire, the Viper Queen, etc).

I know SJM loves happy ever afters, but damn, she needs to stop with the fake-out deaths.

It really really cheapens the stakes and makes the entire story feel…underwhelming. Undeserved? Like am I truly supposed to be afraid of Asteri, the supposed Big Baddie™️ of the entire universe, if none of the main cast dies or truly suffers at their hands? Idk. Beating them felt…too easy. Too convenient for all the characters.

Also, I really disliked how there were no consequences for our characters.

Ruhn, Baxian, and Hunt are brutally tortured, yet they're back in the gym, thinking nothing of it, a few chapters later. We saw Nesta clearly struggle with the Mask yet both Bryce and Hunt used it as if it was a pair of cheap sunglasses. Tharion experienced no consequences from defecting the Viper Queen and don't even get me started about the River Queen. In exposition, he reflects on how she will 100% kill him, yet she's cool with him after he gives a few half-assed lines about "the right thing". Like mmmm okay babes I thought she wanted you dead dead, no questions asked. Everything was just too easy. Powerful objects were there when they were needed, former enemies turned allies without much of a fight, and the Asteri themselves were defeated rather easily in the end.

Overall? It was a 3.5 star read for me.

#court reads hofas #house of flame and shadow #lidia cervos #bryce quinlan #nesta archeron

CD's Movie Poll #1 Winner

The Road to El Dorado

* fair warning: spoilers ahead *

Kicking off the start of my movie poll/movie watching series is Dreamworks’ The Road to El Dorado!

ngl this film has been on my watchlist for quite a while, and yet I never got around to actually watching it until now! (or rather, not until the other night lol) I’d heard so many great things about it before like the memorable characters, the kind of 2D animation that you really don’t see in Dreamworks films these days, and of course, the music!

I will say that I really enjoyed all three of those things in some ways and others 🤩

Right off the bat, Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh have really great chemistry! In fact, I loved their chemistry so much that I wanted to see footage of them recording their lines. so I legit looked up something like “road to el dorado behind the scenes” on youtube as soon as I finished watching the film and found that not only did they do ALL their voice recording sessions together in the same room but they also used plastic swords and playfully had it at each other!! AHHHHHH! so good!! 😂 ⚔️

but yeah they're hilarious! both on screen and behind it. I also just love the fact that both Kevin and Kenneth come from theater backgrounds cause I think that definitely added to how well they portrayed being con men 🎭

Ofc actors aside, some of you probably know this about me already, but I’m a BIG fan of dynamic duos when it comes to media...

I loved the straight man-ness that was Tulio, and he was probably my favorite of the two. I tend to like characters that find comfort in strategy, cause I tend to be that kinda person too. I know sometimes the logical and level-headed ones aren't always funny, entertaining, or the people to root for in the slightest. But Tulio definitely isn't one of them. I found myself chuckling at a good number of things he said and did like not believing in fate simply cause he relies on loaded dice for example, plus his sarcasm, and how much he tried to compose his patience as well

Miguel was great too! It was fun how much he loved the city of El Dorado and just wanted to take it all in, and his endless optimism of course! But he definitely needed more guitar playing scenes! idk there’s something about those characters who just have an instrument to play at the ready for dramatics that’s really humorous for me, it’s almost, if not totally, breaking the fourth wall in a way 😆

I also really enjoyed the Chief, I love how it’s implied that he knew all along Miguel and Tulio were humans and not gods and yet he still liked them and let them stay anyway. that said, it's kind of a shame that the pair didn't stay in el dorado cause there genuinely were people there who adored them when clearly the people of Spain didn’t…heck they didn't seem to have a problem that they weren't actually gods!

and you have to admit, Miguel and Tulio did match the stone art of the gods quite nicely, like the resemblance there was freaky 😳

Chel was great as well, her cleverness and way of sweet talking definitely stood out to me the most about her character, and I also really loved her voice! 😌

and Altivo the horse? I wanna say he was truly Miguel’s companion when compared to Tulio earning the heart of Chel. after all, Miguel was the one who wanted to rescue him and bring him along, and I was genuinely happy when they decided to bring him on their journey cause the horse wasn’t a bad guy, like he not only gave Tulio and Miguel the keys to escape the ship, but he wasn’t spiteful to them or anything. basically what I’m trying to say is he isn’t how Maximus treated Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert initially, horse to con man

As for the villain? well…this is the first of three times I’m gonna be saying, “I got some Aladdin vibes from this movie" 😅 👉👈 which isn’t completely a bad thing by any means!

But yeah…I immediately got Jafar vibes the minute Tzekel-Kan came on screen (also I had to look up this name cause I didn’t catch it very well while I was watching this film, I just kept calling him “Priest Guy”)

I mean…the fact that he can do sorcery, on top of serving a sweet kind-hearted ruler, tangling with not just one but two thieves, anybody picking up what I’m putting down? Yeah that’s really all I gotta say about that guy 🤷🏻‍♀️

also I swear to god that Jim Cummings is in literally everything that was 2D-animated in the 1990s-2000s! and he's always gotta play that big tough guy. Again, that also reminded me of Aladdin. but then again the conquistador didn’t really have that big of a role in this, at the very least I just hope he gave T-K what he got coming to him

I guess just to get it out of the way, I was admittedly humming "One Jump Ahead" in the beginning when Tulio and Miguel are getting chased through the city, but that’s all there is in terms of Aladdin similarities the way i see it

lastly in terms of the characters and cast, I gotta give credit to Elton John for being part of it too! I mean who doesn't love a singing narrator? and he and Tim Rice did an awesome job crafting the soundtrack for this film. every song was absolutely BEAUTIFUL 🎶 ✨

Needless to say, the animation was 👌 and the opening sequence was definitely one of my favorites throughout the whole film as well as the expressions and the solid movements of the characters, very well done no question there. oh! and how there were just gold objects of anything from butterflies to apples in el dorado! they didn’t call it the city of gold for nothing! ✨✨✨

but in the end, did it really have go the route of the overall goal is get all the gold by the end only to actually lose most, if not all, of it by the end? I just feel like that plot line is done a lot in movies. tho to be fair, this was made in the 2000s so heck, it probably began that trend. But I’ve found in recent years that when it comes to treasure hunting movies, this exact scenario happens just repeatedly and it’s nothing new. I’d say movies like The Goonies and Uncharted are two that come to mind for me that have this happen...

Now there’s no way I can conclude my thoughts here without saying how AMAZING the “It’s Tough to Be a God” sequence was! I LOVED the “It's Tough to Be a God" sequence from the singing of the two leads to the colors to the everything about it, it was all magnificent! I'd arguably say it was my favorite scene in the whole film! And I'd be lying if I said that Miguel and Tulio’s version hasn't been stuck in my head ever since I watched it, because so help me it HAS and STILL IS and why that version is not on Spotify, I have no clue, but it SHOULD be. Again, props to Elton and Tim for writing this song and the others!!

So overall, I thought El Dorado was a great movie! It was definitely worth the watch! It's not perfect by any means, I'm not even sure it's my favorite Dreamworks film, but it was still very fun and entertaining all the same and I'm really glad that I finally got to see it after all these years! 🤗

Okay hear me out- Asexual reader and Doomguy having their back. Let’s say, an allosexual was insisting to have sex and being a general acephobe.

omg just like me fr

i try to understand the lore of it but its just a mess for me lol, but im enjoying writing these

Flynn doesn't mind the fact that your ace

he doesn't have a high sex drive

(is that what it calls? idk anymore)

he's mostly busy working on his machine and killing demons

but let's just say that Earth was normal for now

and we got normal Flynn

well not normal

I mean have you seen that big guy????

but anyways

so this is modern au time!

he would work for the military

I would say a drill sergeant

cause he's big and scary

but everyone loves him

you don't see him that often

so once and a while you and his stay at home

or go out!

and yall planned out a date on when he comes back

yall decided to go out to a bar nearby

it was the only thing open late at night

cause yall usually cuddle together when he came home

but bar time

you know there are weirdos out there

but hey you got Flynn

what sane person would try to hit it with the Dooms Slayers' partner??

some drunk guy

Flynn was going to leave you for a second just to get a drink

while waiting you notice a guy eyeing you

you started to feel uncomfortable

you immediately looked away

but unlucky you

the guy came over

he started spewing about how hot you are and how much he wanted to sleep with you

drunk out of his mind

you didn't say anything fearing that you might get hurt by the man

but luck came to you once again

cause your big boy Flynn is here!

he notice how uncomfortable you were with this guy

he walked over to you and the guy noticed him

suddenly his emotion switched from horny to scared

it was now finding ways to leave now

he was stuttering all over the place

soon he left

Flynn just sits with you very confused about what just happened

you just laugh and thank him

but overall the date was a 10/10

honestly if Flynn figured out that he was flirting with you and making you uncomfortable

the guy would be dead in an ally way

Wally anon: Exactly! He gets so. overwhelmed wanting to do EVERYTHING with you at once, but knows he has to be patient or you'll (punish him) tease him until you make him whine even louder. (And then after you're finished with his hole, he moves to yours after all the icing has started melting to the point that it's all wet & sticky on his dick & he uses it as lube to fuck you with 😮‍💨). (But, yeah, I can see how much you're into it & how hot it has the potential to be, especially with Wally. 🫣)

fkdgdkd sooo true. And the reason why you run outta ink so quickly. 😭

Yupppp, same. His little ~character video~ alone made me go, "K, so, he's just. a red herring. Got it." It's even more. ridiculous when the actual killer ended up being SO obvious (with a rather flimsy motive to me), so Idk what the point even was. fjdhdj I had no idea they were gonna make more Zombies movies, but fingers crossed on the bigger roles (ya'know, I can see the vision of him as Flynn, but they'll probably skew older with the castings). You'll have to let me know what it is when you rewatch. But it definitely sounds like a classic case of ~trying to get into people's pants~ which has plenty of potential if that's the case. 🤭

Yesss. He doesn't like to admit it, but I really makes him emotional that you feel so comfortable to lay on him recreationally like that. He isn't good at hiding it (as with most things), but that just makes you do it more so that you can show your love for him. 🥰

Oh, I know exactly what you're getting at (hello, pit shot of him in the pool from the show 🥴).

See, I felt that the love triangle took up more focus than the friends, especially with how. much time Jessica spends with Bobby (it came off that way to me cause so many members of the actual friend group survived while most of the victims were just kinda...there). But, yeah, still very much have a thing for what Ryan brings to the table (ha) as a difference from Wally.

The curse of beng a writer.💔 Well, I hope it brings you some peace of mind knowing we come from similar places & I won't be holding anything against you with (that huge list of ideas ffhd) my requests. ❤️ Good, good @ no rush (unless it's listening to Troye Sivan 🤭). Fingers crossed on the sleepover going smoothly for you, though. 🤞

Oh, do tell @ feral. Huh. I had not even considered that, but you're so right that he's just using his gym shorts. He fr did not even have any underwear at school when he died, but likes how freeing the gym shorts feel so he uses them whenever he has to strip to almost nothing. 🤫

That description was to top tier🫣 punishing him sounds sooooo hot. but also, him dishing out exactly what you gave by fucking your hole with wet, albeit sticky icing is so hot. Might have to write that too😮‍💨 I’m out helping a family member last minute christmas shop btw, and there’s a bunch of valentines candy on display and i immediately thought about him messing with that too (omg i’m echoing myself rn😭)

yeah, he mayyyy be running you dry with the ink but i could imagine him trying to fix it because he breaks it from needing to be such a visual learner… and he gets ink all over himself trying to unjam it. thoughts? sksjs

Honestly yeah, I hated that they were spoiling their own movie in sm ways. Trailers always gotta ruin it and so true with the killer. I liked him enough I guess but so much of it didn’t make sense. (plus scream six already gave us a similar reveal earlier this year so i was even less surprised) YESSS ugh they’re making more Zombies movies and I’m happy yet a little sad cause they aren’t that good, and while Zed was my introduction to Milo back in 2016/2017 (w/e the movie released), the quality just sucks and I can’t bear to get through the movie. Milo has pipes tho and I’m glad he gets to show them off by singing🤭 Flynn could work but yeah he seems older-ish in animation and they would likely go with someone who has thicker facial/body hair and more “masculine” fitting (No offense, Milo‼️ You’re perfect the way you are sksjsk) I think Josh did it for self-gratification because he was rich and liked putting on the act that he didn’t want to associate himself with his money and actually help people, but it’s all an act to attract girls (and guys)

I can see him having a toothy smile on his face because of it, so happy that someone is just accepting him for who he is, even in such a simple way like cuddling. You’re not asking him to be anything more than what he is, just embracing all of it for all of its flaws and mistakes. He’d be more than happy to just be with you intimately, feel your heartbeat and have you imagine his (if he’s a ghost)

Thank god someone does… he had them out almost every episode and it was distracting from the plot😩 I woudlve shown them more but the pool scene is enough. Say less. I don’t care if i have clothes on I will be wading in the water to get to him on that floatie or getting deep into those pits after a football game idc (the smell being forever cause he’s a ghost makes my head go brrrr)

Yeah I didn’t love that they tried to push it as the movie went on because Bobby is so… (the name Bobby is bad in general, so i think that says enough) And yessss i love seeing the differences between the two characters because Milo’s range is evident due to playing both. Ryan brings a lotttt to the table that Wally doesn’t (but in a good way)

Yeah being a writer is such a time consuming thing but it’s so worth it because making content that is lacking for certain characters (like Wally/Ryan/any of Milo’s other characters) and allows us to be self indulgent😮‍💨 and keep sending requests because the more to pick from is the best thing everrr

Feral. I transformed into a rabid werewolf and and jkjk. Wally definitely free balls, at most he had a jockstrap in his locker probably, but ditched it because it was itchy (it was perfectly fine, he just didn’t want to bother with underwear)

It’s like three am when I’m writing this and I have no idea if it’ll make sense but what are some of your favorite Mike Cutter og Law and Order episodes/ scenes?? Can be interpreted as anything really. I got back into og law and order and I like Mike a bit unhinged and he makes my brain tickle <3

hey anon!!! idk how much of the series you've seen so i'll try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible!

omggggg uhhhhh man where do i begin!!!!

episode-wise, these are some of my top ranked eps for mike, in no particular order:

S18E12 Submission (the wine scene with Lara Flynn Boyle? WHEW!) S18E15 Boogeyman (mike is sooooo unhinged in the last scene) S19E1 Rumble (his closing is especially great here knowing how conflicted he is about having to give it, love the genuine conflict with mccoy) S19E21 Skate or Die (the scene with him saying a line in russian lives rent-free in my head) S2018 Brazil (sad "my parents sucked" mike, the questioning of Tony Hale at the end gets me 😭😭😭 every single time) S20E16 Innocence (he gets soooo put through the ringer in this one and contrary to popular belief MIKE DID NOTHING WRONG IN THIS EPISODE) S20E15 Brilliant Disguise (just love seeing my man so deranged) S20E9 For the Defense (Mike melting into an embarrassed mess when he realizes basically everyone and their mothers knows he has a crush on Connie)

a couple of random moments that tickle my brain:

S19E6 Sweetie - the confrontation with Vivica A. Fox at the end S18E13 Angelgrove - his closing kicks ass (as per usual) but idk why i liked this one especially S19E22 The Drowned and the Saved - confrontation with Governor Shalvoy (iykyk) S18E16 Strike - Mike talking with Jack about how much Connie kicked his ass in court 🥰🥰🥰 S18E17 Personae Non Grata - THE SCENE WITH THE BONES S19E4 Falling - when he's sitting in the hospital room "you just have to try to save who you can save" 😭😭😭 S19E5 Knock Off - having to stay behind in Dargerville with Lupo and they're just a coupla guys bein dudes S20E20 The Taxman Cometh - "everyone's calling me Boomerang Mike" S20E4 Reality Bites - Mike just messing with Connie because she has to be in a reality show in order to get access to information that will help them in a trial lmao

okay anon i gotta stop or i'll be here forever!!!! (this is probably wayyyy more than you thought and i am so sorry 😭😭😭) always feel free to swing back into my inbox to talk mike or l&o (and would love to e-meet ya if you ever decide to come off anon in the future!)

i love talking about my unhinged emotionally constipated prosecutor, so this ask made my day! thank you :)

The Dillingers

Got curious and looked up the surname Dillinger. So... have some thoughts on Ed and his family (NOTE: these apply specifically to my muse as I write him. Maybe they work for Canon!Ed, maybe they don't).

So: Some facts that tie into the edcanons:

David Warner, the actor that plays Edward Dillinger Sr. (Ed's father), was British.

Cilian Murphy, the actor that plays Edward Dillinger Jr., is Irish.

3. According to Wikipedia, the surname Dillinger is Germanic in origin.

John Dillinger was a real crime boss in Chicago during the Great Depression (this ties in... somehow...).

Points one and three imply some sort of immigration trail. The Dillingers were originally German, but by Edward Sr.'s time, they were British. Dillinger Sr. is never given an age, either in the movies or the novelization, but he's older than Alan and Flynn, and David Warner was born in 1941, so we'll assume Dillinger Sr. was born somewhere around that time.

...Guess what major historical event happened around that time that had families fleeing Germany? (This is rhetorical... mostly. I'd be surprised if someone doesn't know what I'm referring to.) That's right folks, the second world war had just ended. The Dillingers could, theoretically, have immigrated from Germany to England at any point, but Mun has a soft spot for immigrants, and thinks this makes for a more interesting story. So. Grandma and Grandpa Dillinger flee Germany during WWII, Perhaps its because of ideological differences with the current regime, perhaps it is because of their religious beliefs, (upon further research, David Warner's father was Russian-Jewish.... While I think it would be interesting for the Dillingers to be Jewish, I am cautious about writing them that was, especially because the type of villain that Dillinger Sr. plays could very quickly slide into anti-Semitic territory if I'm not careful, and I'm not sure I have the background knowledge to write it) there were quite a few reasons to flee Germany in the 1930's. Grandma and Grandpa Dillinger settle in England, where Edward Dillinger Sr. is born. They assimilated into British society, and Edward Sr. grows up in Britain. He gets a degree in computer science and another in business, and eventually gets hired to work for Encom, probably around 1975-7.

Some time after he's emigrated to America, Dillinger Sr. met Shannon McLaughlin, the daughter of two Irish immigrants (headcanon for Ed's mother, inspired from point 2... though considering the history between the Irish and the British... I wonder if this should be revised?). They married and had a son in 1978, Edward Dillinger Jr. Unfortunately things didn't work out (understatement of the the year), and Ed Sr. and Shannon divorced in 1989, and Dillinger Sr. raised Ed by himself.

Mun currently doesn't have anything set in stone story-wise for Ed's mother, but likes to think that she eventually remarried. Perhaps Ed has a younger sibling or two that he never learned about since his father did not allow him to see his mother.

So... How does John Herbert Dillinger come into this? Mun isn't entirely sure, but is hoping that maybe by writing this, they might figure it out. They think it'd be cool if Ed was related by some not-so-distant ancestor.

Doing some brief research, John H. Dillinger is the son of John W. Dillinger, who was a first generation American. His father (John H's grandfather) was born in Germany in 1831, and at some point moved to Indiana. If the fictional Dillingers were in some way related to the real Dillingers, it would have to be through John H's great-grandfather, who was born in 1785.

IDK where I'm going with this, but I think it would be funny if Ed ever ran into the descendants of John H. Dillinger, discover that common ancestor, and bond over criminal family members giving them a bad rap.

Something Different: Chapter Five

Rating: General Audiences

Catagory: M/F

Fandom: Skylanders (Video Games)

Relationship: Cali/Flynn (Skylanders)

Characters: Cali (Skylanders), Flynn (Skylanders)

Additional Tags: Canon Divergence, Long Distance Relationship, idk what other tags to put here again

While it had already been three weeks into their relationship, Cali had already made plans for a solo trip a while before they got together, which would mean that it would their first time dealing with a long distance relationship for a few weeks.

“How long will you be away for?” Flynn asked.

“About three or four weeks, depends on how long it takes me to travel from place to place” Cali answered whilst packing up for the trip.

“You sure you’re gonna be okay to go alone? wouldn’t you want some company? I wouldn’t mind tagging along!” He replied.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine, besides, you’ve still gotta help the Skylanders deal with missions” she said zipping up her suitcase, she started walking out towards the courtyard with Flynn not so far behind.

Cali stopped towards the entrance of the academy, putting her suitcase down, getting ready to say goodbye to him.

“I think having someone like you as my girlfriend is pretty awesome, you really are an amazing gal y’know!” Flynn said as they hugged.

“Hm, Thanks big guy, I really appreciate that!” Cali said.

“I guess I’ll see you in a few weeks” she said.

“Heh, same goes for you!” Flynn replied

“Maybe I’ll send a little something whilst I’m away~” Cali said.

“I might do the same~” he replied

They began to embrace again, afterwards Cali started heading off to the nearest ride.

“See you later brain-trust!”

“See ya!”

Whilst on the ride towards where Cali was travelling, she got out her communication device and saw a message from Flynn.

[Missing you already 💛] - 💞Brain-Trust💞

[It’s only been twenty minutes!] - Cali

[Just kidding, miss you too dummy!💖] - Cali

[Let me know if you need any company~] - Flynn

[The academy boring you that much? I’ll call you later!] - 💖💞Cali💞💖

[It’s fine, Just let me know if you wanna talk, I’ll be here💕] - Flynn

(Author’s Note: communication devices are the equivalent of phones, i know they’re not really a thing in canon but shhh!)

(Also Flynn’s username isn’t actually his username, it’s what Cali’s communication device has him named as, it’s basically the equivalent of giving your significant other a nickname on your phone, the hearts around Cali’s name sometimes is Flynn’s username for her, also Flynn’s nickname is a direct reference to what she calls him in SSA/Giants sometimes!)

About two hours later, Cali had arrived at her first destination, after some time documenting about the location, her communication device notified her about a message.

[You there yet?] - 💞Brain-Trust💞

[Yep, just finishing up some documenting about the place!] - Cali

[Should I call yet?] - 💞Brain-Trust💞

[I’ll call you!] - Cali

A few minutes later, she began to call.

“Hey! Long time no see!” Flynn said.

“It’s been four hours idiot!” Cali replied.

“Heh, it feels like four days, I’m missing you!” He said

“You’re gonna have to get used to that! I’ll be away for the next four weeks!” She added

“WHAT?! FOUR WHOLE WEEKS?!” He said jokingly “Two weeks in and I’ll probably start missing those beautiful eyes of yours! Who am I kidding, I ALREADY MISS THEM!” He added.

“I’ll probably send you some pictures of the places I’m going to, maybe a postcard or something!”

“Oh right! I’m gonna need to start thinking about gifts to send!”

“Don’t send me anything stupid!” Cali said

“I promise I won’t!”

“I’m gonna have to go now, I’ll call you again in a few days!”

“See you then!”

A few days later, Cali received a gift.

As she picked it up, she noticed a letter, and began to read it.

“Hey! It’s…you can already guess who this is from!

I thought I would send you a little something while you’re away!

Just a little something to remind you of me! You’re welcome!”

- Sincerely…you can still take a guess on who this is!

“Who else would have sent me something? no one else in the academy promised to send anything”

She opened up the box, the gift turned out to be a plush bear wearing a red scarf.

Cali chuckled “He wasn’t kidding about it being something to remind me of him!”

She sent Flynn a message shortly after.

[Thanks for the plush, you’re not even a bear!] - 💖💞Cali💞💖

[They didn’t have any that looked like me! It has a red scarf tho!] - Flynn

[I guess you’re right!] - 💖💞Cali💞💖

[It’s obviously not as handsome as me, but it least it’s fuzzy!] - Flynn

[It is pretty fuzzy, I’m wondering if it’s as stupid as you!] - 💖💞Cali💞💖

[I thought you said that my stupidity is what makes me charming!] - Flynn

[I was asking if it was as charming as you y’know!] - 💖💞Cali💞💖

[You’re not wrong there!] - Flynn

[At least i have some form of a fuzzy moron to snuggle with! 🥰] - Cali

[are my hugs another thing about me you’re missing?] - 💞Brain-Trust💕

[Yeah, I miss your spin-crushing yet cozy hugs] - Cali

[Promise to give you a big hug when you’re back! 💞] - 💞Brain-Trust💞

[I like the sound of that! 💞] - Cali

[I’m off to get some rest! Love you! 😍] - Cali

[Love u too! Hope that little guy keeps you company!] - 💞Brain-Trust💞

Three weeks later, after her trip, Cali was on her way back to the academy.

She did send Flynn something during her trip, she sent him a framed picture of them at the celebration that happened weeks earlier.

[On my way!] - 💖💞Cali💞💖

[Excited to see you again, I’ve missed those beautiful eyes 😍] - Flynn

[I know, you’ve been telling that all the time!] - 💖💞Cali💞💖

Twenty minutes later, Cali had arrived back at the academy.

Flynn was of course very happy to see her.

As she walked towards him, he proceeded to pull her into a spinning hug

“Been wanting to do that for weeks!” Flynn laughed whilst he let go of her.

“Looks like a certain someone missed me!” Cali replied, “I could probably lift you too y’know!”

“Really?” He asked.

Cali then proceeded to lift him up “How about now?” She said, smiling at him.

“O-OKAY! Y-YOU CAN PUT ME DOWN!” Flynn said in a flustered voice.

She put him down and hugged him.

“I’m just glad to see you again!” Cali said.

“Glad to see you too!” Flynn replied.

“So, would I be allowed to come along with you next time?” He asked.

“Yeah, I’d probably like that!” Cali answered.

“Did the little guy I gave you keep you company?”

“Yeah, I still love you more though!”

“Heh, figured!”

They walked into the Academy hand in hand.

Something different indeed…

The End

Can I request 18. I know autumn camping trips are totally aesthetic but it’s cold as shit in this tent, can we snuggle? for either Boggie or Flarrie? Your choice.

- @michelangelinden

You say or, I say and. Same thing, right? /j Anyways, this one got a bit long, but oh well. This AU just turned into a whole thing in my head, so.... Idk, maybe there will be more of it in the future? Hope you like it! Love you!!!!

The Great Wilson Family Camping Adventure felt like it was doomed even before it began.

Carrie's dad had been going on and on about this plan for months, how he was going to take his kids out into the woods so they could all get to know each other and become closer as a family, away from all the regular pressure of work and school. Yup, kids, plural.

Ever since Trevor had discovered that his old ex-girlfriend had a son, his son, life in the Wilson household had been a rollercoaster. Carrie was pretty sure she’d never forget coming into the kitchen and discovering her dad on a video call with some woman she’d never seen before. Okay, the video call thing wasn’t that uncommon, though he usually did that sort of stuff in the den. What was unusual about it was the set of her dad’s jaw, the hand clenched around a glass so hard that Carrie was afraid it would shatter, and the even tone he only used when he was nearing a breaking point and didn’t want to show it.

It had taken some time for the whole story to come out, but eventually Carrie had pieced together that her dad had dated this girl back before meeting Carrie’s mom, and that they’d broken up because she was going out with someone else behind his back. The woman had moved away from the area, neither her nor Trevor realizing she was pregnant.

The next part of the story was blurry at best, since the only one who was both willing and able to talk about it had been six or seven at the time. But as near as Carrie could figure out, there had been some… issues in the life of Dierdra Shaw leading to many things, including a CPS investigation and her son, Bobby, going to live with his grandparents in Los Angeles.

And so, by some weird, cruel twist of fate, one of Julie’s bandmates turned out to be Carrie’s biological half-brother.

Carrie didn’t have any issues with Bobby, per se, but… it wasn’t like they had much in common. He liked alt-rock and lived in the same pair of vans 24/7. She preferred pop and power ballads and would change shoes at least twice a day, thanks to dance classes and various events. And her dad, their dad, was making all of them go camping together. For ‘family bonding’ or something.

But at ‘family dinner’ a few nights before they left, her dad had asked Bobby if there was anything he wanted to bring to make it more comfortable or fun. It was a reasonable question, but instead of bringing up food or a space heater like Trevor was probably expecting, Bobby had hesitantly asked if it would be okay for him to bring Reggie, his bandmate and boyfriend.

That night, after Bobby had confirmed all the plans for the trip and gone home, Carrie had asked her dad if Flynn could join them as well, since Reggie was coming. Her dad had made excuses about how Reggie was just coming since Bobby didn’t know either of them that well, but Carrie had refused to budge. Whether her dad acknowledged it or not, this was an awkward situation for her too.

“Okay, I think that’s our site.”

Her dad’s overly cheery tone pulled Carrie out of her thoughts. She looked up from her phone just as he parked the SUV. Her dad and Reggie had both tried to get people talking at the start of the three-hour trek, but with Carrie and Bobby stuck in the middle together, things hadn’t exactly gotten chatty. It had quickly turned into an ‘everyone has their headphones on and is ignoring each other’ type of drive, apart from Reggie and Trevor in the front seat. Carrie really hoped Bobby couldn’t tell that she spent most of the time texting with her girlfriend, who was literally sitting right behind her.

Look, it was just awkward, okay? She and Bobby had always been chill, but they weren’t friends, not really. To her, he was Julie’s bandmate and Reggie’s boyfriend. He probably thought of her as Julie’s friend or Flynn’s girlfriend or something. But her brother? No, that was just too weird.

But she also cared about her dad. She hadn’t seen him this anxiously excited in years. So she could do this. And she had Flynn to keep her sane while they all did something Carrie was 99% sure her dad hadn’t done since he was little.

“Ah, smell that fresh mountain air,” Trevor declared enthusiastically as he climbed out of the car.

Bobby still had one earbud in, but at Reggie’s encouraging nod, he said, “Yeah, it’s nice.”

Carrie was pretty sure her dad’s smile was going to blind someone if he kept it up. She slid out of the car and walked quickly around to the trunk. “The tent is going to be big enough for all five of us, right?” she asked.

“Sure it will be,” Trevor responded, opening the trunk and pulling out a big, blue cooler that Carrie knew he must have borrowed from Julie’s dad. “Bobby, you wanna help me get it set up?” he asked, pulling the tent (also most likely belonging to the Molinas) out of the back.

Bobby shifted uncomfortably but shrugged. “Sure,” he said quietly.

Reggie followed the two men over to the middle of the campsite, where there was a large flat area for the tent. Carrie started pulling bags of food out of the trunk while they dealt with the tent.

“How you holding up,” Flynn asked quietly, taking a bag from her.

“I’m fine I guess,” Carrie answered, leaning on her girlfriend’s shoulder.

Flynn raised their eyebrows, making it clear that they knew it was a lie, but she didn’t push it. Instead, she helped Carrie unpack the van, setting all the food on the wooden picnic table, which looked about two minutes from collapsing, and piling the sleeping bags in the backseat until the tent was ready for them.

Then, because her dad, Bobby, and Reggie were still struggling with the tent, Carrie carefully started on dinner. Thank goodness her dad had brought the little propane stove, since she had no idea how to cook over a fire. Flynn managed to get it turned on and they got some water boiling without too many issues. Carrie poured in what should be enough pasta for everyone to cook, standing guard so it didn’t boil over. Flynn moved behind her and wrapped their arms around her waist.

“You having a good time back there?” Carrie snarked as Flynn rested their chin on her shoulder.

“I’m watching my hot girlfriend make me dinner, I’m having a great time,” Flynn retorted.

“Flattery won’t get you food any sooner,” Carrie sassed, ignoring the flush in her cheeks at both the compliment and her partner’s proximity. “You’re still gonna have to wait till this finishes.”

“Awww, not even a little taste?” Flynn asked innocently, batting her eyelashes. “Someone has to make sure it’s not poisoned.”

“Wow, you think I’d poison you?” Carrie responded, tone dripping with mocking sweetness. “Please, I could think of a million better ways to kill you if that’s what I wanted, sweetie.”

“Oh yeah, like what?” Flynn challenged, leaning in closer so Carrie felt the words against her cheek.

“Who’s poisoning dinner?” Trevor asked, coming up to them with a confused expression.

Carrie rolled her eyes. “No one, dad, it was a joke,” she informed him as she checked the pasta. It seemed to be done, so she carefully lifted it off the stove.

“Here, let me help,” Bobby said, grabbing the strainer and holding it out for her.

Carrie was surprised by the gesture but carefully poured the pasta into the offered container. Once she mixed it with the sauce, they all settled down around the table to eat. Carrie was glad when Flynn immediately settled against her side, letting Carrie lean on her without it being so obvious to the rest of the group.

“So, Bobby, what’s your favorite thing to do out here in the woods?” Carrie’s dad asked, grinning widely.

“Uh, I mean, I’ve never been here,” Bobby responded uncertainly. “Lola didn’t like driving this far, so we usually stayed closer to the city.”

The table fell into an awkward silence for a minute. Carrie could feel the tension building with every passing second, but she had no idea how to break it without making things worse. She wasn’t even sure she wanted it broken. Because this was how it was now, all the time. At school events and barbeque parties at the Molinas’ and the ‘family dinners’ that her dad had never even tried to make happen before he realized he had another kid. It was mean, but a part of Carrie wished all that tension would just snap like a rubber band, hurling everyones’ lives back to how they were before.

“Well you can’t have a good camping trip without s’mores,” Reggie commented finally.

“Yes!” Trevor exclaimed, locking onto the topic. “I haven’t made them in years, but I have marshmallows and everything so we can give it a shot after dinner.”

“Did you get Reeses?” Flynn asked. “Peanut butter s’mores are God’s gift to humanity.”

The conversation continued between the three of them, both Carrie and Bobby staying quiet. Carrie was endlessly grateful to her partner for being willing to come on this dumpster fire of a camping trip.

She glanced over at Bobby, trying to gauge his mood. He was staring at the table, not quite angrily, but… something. Carrie couldn’t put her finger on it, but it was intense, like poking your head into another room only to realize that a horror movie was playing inside. Scary, but not angry. Just… intense and unexpected. She was surprised to realize that she didn’t want to run away from it.

“Okay, Bobby, you want to help me build a fire?” her dad asked, pushing up to his feet.

Carrie tried to ignore the little sting that came from Bobby being the only one on the receiving end of the invite. She was getting used to that.

“Sure,” Bobby responded quietly, sticking his dirty bowl in the dish bin and heading over to the firepit.

The two men crouched by the rusty metal enclosure, Bobby reaching inside to carefully lay down some sticks. Reggie watched them for a minute, his face a mix of love and concern, then turned to Flynn and Carrie.

“You guys mind helping me with the dishes?” he asked, grabbing a bucket. “It’s a lot faster with more than one set of hands.”

“Sounds like a plan,” Flynn agreed.

Carrie quietly followed the pair over to the bathrooms, where Reggie filled up his bucket with warm water from the spigot outside.

“Hey, you doing okay?” Reggie asked Carrie as they walked back.

She looked up at him, startled by the question. “Shouldn’t you be asking your boyfriend that?” she responded, fighting to keep the instinctive snap out of her voice.

“I have been,” Reggie answered. “And this whole thing is really hard for him. I can’t imagine it’s any easier for you. So are you doing okay?”

Carrie felt Flynn’s hand slip into hers as she considered how to answer. It wasn’t like she and Reggie were close at all, the only one of the guys she felt she really was close with was Alex, and maybe Willie. But they’d spent some time watching lousy Hallmark movies together after everyone else fell asleep at movie night. She’d bought him pizza for lunch. He’d given her a ride a few times. They weren’t quite friends, but…

“Not really,” she admitted. “It’s nothing against Bobby, it’s just this whole thing is… a lot.”

“That makes sense,” Flynn said, squeezing her hand.

They reached the campsite then and Reggie grabbed the dish soap and sponge to start doing the dishes. Flynn picked up a towel to dry them once he was done. Left without a task, Carrie sat back down at the picnic table, watching her dad and Bobby build their fire.

Just then, Bobby glanced back at her, that unreadable expression still on his face. “Hey Carrie, could you bring me the lighter?” he called.

Carrie raised an eyebrow and was about to point out that there was clearly a book of matches sticking out of his back pocket, but suddenly some part of his expression made sense. He wasn’t asking for a lighter, he was asking for a lifeline. Until Reggie had mentioned it a few minutes ago, Carrie hadn’t thought much about how this would feel from Bobby’s side of things. But suddenly finding out that some famous music star was your biological father, being pulled into a family you had no concept of, it couldn’t be easy. Especially with all of said biological father’s attention on you whenever you were in the same room.

“Yeah, just a sec,” she responded, glancing around the table for a minute before spotting the little green lighter. She grabbed it and joined Bobby and her dad by the firepit. She handed over the lighter, then placed herself between Bobby and her dad as she gave the little twig tent a skeptical look. “Is that actually gonna work?” she questioned.

Bobby shot her a grateful look at making some space between him and their dad, but didn’t comment. “Watch and learn,” he chuckled instead, setting a piece of crumpled paper inside and setting it on fire.

Slowly but surely, the sticks started to catch. Bobby carefully fed larger branches and eventually logs into the dancing flames, looking more at peace here than Carrie had ever seen him outside of band practice and the occasional group movie night. She settled on a log bench beside the fire, watching the sparks fly up into the darkening sky. Flynn joined her a few minutes later, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Carrie rested her head gratefully on her girlfriend’s shoulder.

Her dad went back to the car to find a proper camp chair, complaining about his back, and Carrie could see some of the tension start to leave Bobby’s body as the distance between them grew. Reggie dropped onto another log right behind Bobby, and he leaned back against his legs, shooting a smile up at his boyfriend and receiving a quick peck on the lips. Carrie smiled as she watched them. Regardless of her relationship to Bobby, she was glad to see the two of them so happy together. That little spark of joy at seeing another happy queer couple didn’t go away just because one of them was suddenly your half-brother.

When her dad returned, he started telling stories. Carrie suspected it was an attempt to avoid the awkward silence. But she’d heard most of them before, so she let herself tune him out in favor of breathing in the clean air of the woods and the fruity scent of Flynn’s body wash. Their sweater was soft against her skin, her fingers tracing patterns on Carrie’s shoulder. If her dad wasn’t literally five feet away, Carrie would probably have leaned up and kissed her. Not that her dad was homophobic, but… kissing in front of your dad just felt wrong.

Bobby seemed to have fallen into a similar zoned-out state, poking the fire every so often with a long stick and leaning back to rest his head against Reggie’s knees. One of the bassist’s hands wove slowly through Bobby’s dark hair as the night fell. A few stars appeared in the sky, scattered with the rising sparks from the fire. Trevor finally fell silent, just watching the fire. Carrie was glad. She got wanting to bond with the son you never knew you had, but he’d been laying it on way too heavy, clearly making everyone uncomfortable.

If there was one thing Carrie had learned in the past few years, it was that you couldn’t force relationships to happen. She’d tried it a million times, with Nick, with Julie, with Flynn. She’d tried to make things fit what she wanted without doing the hard work to reach that real place of trust, and it had caused pain for everyone. She’d made her peace with all of them now, counting Nick and Julie as her best friends and stealing kisses with Flynn after shows, but it had taken a long time. Family wasn’t built in a day.

After a while, Bobby softly informed them all that the fire was low enough for roasting marshmallows. Reggie jumped up almost immediately, almost making Bobby fall with how fast he ran to grab the s’more supplies from the table. Carrie’s dad seemed almost as excited, handing out roasting sticks and moving his chair so he could try and make his without having to sit on the ground.

Reggie quickly readied his stick and started toasting his marshmallow, giggling about something with Bobby as he slowly turned the stick. Bobby just smiled and sat down beside him with his own sugary treat.

“Yeah I have no idea how to do this,” Carrie hissed to her girlfriend, watching the boys in confusion.

Flynn laughed, then pulled her to her feet. “I got you, babe,” they promised. “Ray taught me all the tricks.”

Carrie rolled her eyes affectionately and let Flynn stick a marshmallow onto the end of her stick. They settled beside the fire as Flynn showed her how to find the hot spots and keep rotating her rod so the sugar didn’t burn. At one point, she glanced up and caught Bobby’s eye over the hot coals. He smiled. It was a bit awkward, but well… having a civil conversation with Julie was awkward for a while too. She smiled back.

Later, after they’d probably all had too much sugar and Bobby had put out the fire, they brushed their teeth in the dirty, communal bathroom and changed into pajamas. Carrie was glad she’d brought some thicker, fluffy pants to sleep in, because she was starting to shiver by the time they got back to the tent. Reggie had clearly not had the same thought, as he was wearing thin, red flannel pants and curling into Bobby’s side almost immediately when they left the bathrooms.

Her dad flipped on the little space heater in the tent, then crawled into his own sleeping bag.

“Goodnight, sleep tight, don’t do anything you wouldn’t want me seeing,” he muttered sleepily as he slumped down onto his pillow.

Carrie fought the urge to burst out laughing. When she glanced over at the others in the dim light of Reggie’s flashlight, she could see similar expressions of amusement on their faces, though Bobby looked a bit red as well.

“He does realize we’re literally all sex-averse or something, right?” Flynn whispered.

“I haven’t even tried having that conversation with him yet,” Carrie responded wryly. “Can you imagine telling your dad that he didn’t really have to go through the extreme awkwardness of giving you The Talk because you never wanted to do that anyways?”

Everyone laughed and settled into their sleeping bags, Carrie the closest to the entrance with Flynn beside her and Bobby and Reggie near the back. The space heater was in the middle of the space, but it wasn’t really warming it up very quickly. Carrie could hear Reggie shivering after a few minutes, and then a whispered voice.

“Hey, I know camping trips are supposed to be an aesthetic or something, but it’s freezing,” Reggie hissed, probably to Bobby. “Can we please cuddle?”

Carrie heard a low chuckle from Bobby, and then the swishing sounds of the two moving closer together. She couldn’t quite make out their hushed words, but she smiled anyways. Yeah, this was the most awkward (and only) camping trip she’d ever been on, but she was glad they were here.

Well, okay, she wasn’t hugely fond of here here, she could live without the smell of woodsmoke in her hair and the pine needles that kept appearing in literally everything, but it was nice to be out with her dad and Flynn and Reggie and her brother. Stepbrother? Half brother? They could figure that one out later. But for the first time since she’d walked in on her dad giving his laptop a death glare, she felt like they might actually be something, not just blood, but maybe something akin to family.

“You doing okay?” Flynn hummed in the darkness.

“Yeah, I am,” Carrie answered honestly.

“Good, because I’m freezing,” Flynn stated. “Aesthetics are overrated, I want cuddles.”

“You stole that from Reggie,” Carrie accused, giggling.

“You got a problem with it?” Flynn snarked back.

“No,” Carrie chuckled, shifting over and partially unzipping her sleeping bag to wrap her arms around her girlfriend.

“Good,” Flynn said, curling closer and nuzzling into the crook of Carrie’s neck. “Cause I need some of that hot Wilson body heat right now.”

Carrie smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of her partner’s head. “Goodnight, love you.”

“Night, love you too.”
