haunted by the look in my eyes that would’ve loved you for a lifetime

leave it all behind

& there is happiness

Loneliness had always been something that plagued him. That and a plethora of other negative emotions.

There wasn’t a day that went by where Peter Maximoff wasn’t made to feel like a loser. Admittedly, he’d never held himself to a high standard, he grew up thinking that he’d never fit in anywhere and eventually that thought mutated into a lifestyle as he began isolating himself from the world around him, either far too good or heartbreakingly not enough to be a part of that crowd.

He liked spending time with himself. Nobody else knew him the way he knew him, and still, he found nothing but an overwhelming hollow space where his deepest most important hopes, aspirations, dreams and self discoveries should have resided.

Peter had always put this feeling of exile down to the fact that he was a mutant, it was the most likely explanation, right?

It was only when he’d decided to join the X-Men that he finally came to the conclusion that maybe the rest of the world wasn’t the problem, nor was his mutation the problem, but that he himself was the problem. For even in a school full of people exactly like him he was still the same loser that he was in his mother’s basement.

And he was under no illusions that that was exactly what his teammates saw in him; nothing. No potential. Just a space holder to bring the numbers up.

Super speed was incredible. That’s how Peter acknowledged jobs well done, he praised his speed but never himself. He just saved Charles and Erik from a room full of armed guards? No that wasn’t him, that was simply his speed. He saved an entire mansion full of people from a potentially fatal explosion? Nothing special, Kurt probably could’ve done the same.

Forget all of the good deeds and saved lives because the bottom line of it all, to him at least, was that all he was good for was cheeky one liners and hopeless kleptomania.

His life took a turn for the worse when he found himself being mind controlled in an alternate universe. And even then, he was playing the part of someone that wasn’t him, the thought humbled him, reconnected him to his roots and reintroduced him to his life long philosophy that he’d never be anything more than a social pariah. Not even an alternate reality could accept him for who he was. There wasn’t a warm welcome and despite not knowing what was going on, the definition of “imposter” or the weirder, “recast”, still shot to kill.

He settled on the notion that he was an inter dimensional waste of space. At least in WestView he could be blissfully ignorant, let the real him be drowned mercilessly in favour of being an integral part of someone’s life- to feel important, even if it wasn’t real.

When WestView fell apart he was completely lost. In every sense of the word. In a new world with no way home and as it turned out, nobody was looking for him. Although he didn’t expect anyone to care, it still stung that nobody did. He always hoped that one day Erik would step up as a father figure for him, this; getting kidnapped and smuggled into a different dimension, seemed like the perfect moment for that epic father son moment, but it wouldn’t surprise Peter if his father has yet to notice his disappearance.

But then, seemingly out of nowhere, he came into contact with a beacon of hope. A guiding star that might possibly lead him to an existence consisting of something other than misery and self loathing.

It offered him a choice; return to being the self proclaimed loser he was known as or start fresh as someone new and mysterious, with first impressions yet to be made and conclusions about him yet to be drawn. Peter had known himself to be rash in the past, when it came to making decisions he had the tendency to act impulsively, never putting too much thought into how his decisions would affect his life in the long term. The choice before him now is no different, he knew exactly what he wanted going forward, however selfish the choice may have been, the second he realised it was an option his heart was set on it.

That previously mentioned beacon of hope arrived to him in the form of a girl, in the form of you. An ex-avenger and close friend of Wanda’s, you were hired by S.W.O.R.D to help them clean up the more ‘sensitive’ fallout that the fall of WestView brought about. Obviously, they were sticking you- the only other avenger with magik- on babysitting and rehabilitation rather than letting you go after your best friend who had gone completely off the rails. Having said that though, you didn’t want anyone else handling him.

You hadn’t watched WandaVision, nor were you even aware that any of it was going on until it had reached a boiling point and you got a call from Monica Rambeau, she’d begged you to come and wait on the edge of town while she went in and act as her eyes on the outside along with Jimmy Woo.

That’s where you stayed until the hex broke down.

As soon as the barrier came down the base you manned was overrun by an armada of terribly confused and distressed citizens, Monica and Wanda were not among them but in their places stumbled in Darcy and the man playing the role of Pietro.

Jimmy appointed himself to Darcy, who in all honesty seemed relatively unscathed by the situation while you made a beeline for the dirty blonde charading as your former, dead teammate.

Peter was, to put it simply, completely enthralled by you as soon as you’d strolled over to him and in the moment he’d put his almost magnetic attraction to you down to the fact that you were the first friendly face he’d seen upon breaking free of Agatha’s possession.

But one thing in particular struck him; you’d asked him his name. You hadn’t immediately assumed him to be some knock off Pietro, as everyone else had. You acknowledged that he had his own personal identity and despite how often he caught himself hating the person he was, he found that when it was torn away from him that he wanted it back. The simple question you posed gave him the opportunity to regain his identity.

“Peter. My name is Peter.” He answered you, almost unsure of himself and you found your interest in the man piqued even further.

He remembered with perfect clarity the way you’d offered him a grin, tilted your hand, extended your hand and said, “Well it’s nice to meet you, Peter. Come on, I’ll be your babysitter for the next while.” There was something about the way you’d laughed after saying the words and the slight, yet unmistakable, glint of mischief in your eyes that had him captivated from the get go.

With you came a whirlwind of new emotions. After only a few weeks of knowing you, Peter noticed he wasn’t as lonely as he had been back home. He didn’t hate himself half as much either, he wasn’t entirely free of self deprovative tendencies and maybe he never would be, but undoubtedly, he likes himself more in this world than he ever had in his last. He thanked you and your determination to make him “a functioning member of society” for that.

It didn’t feel belittling, the way you helped him. You hadn’t dragged him to your favourite mall every weekend just to taunt him about how he couldn’t stop himself from stealing something. Even the very first time, when he’d sped away from you and returned within a second adoring a pair of freshly stolen sunglasses. Your only reaction had been to laugh and casually place your hands on both sides of his face.

“At least remember to take the tag off next time, speedy.” You’d muttered, subtly pulling the tacky stickers off the arms of his shades. No, you weren’t dragging him sight seeing or forcing him to help you go clothes shopping because you thought he was a loser who needed reforming you were doing it because you were a true friend who wanted him to succeed.

The pair of you seemed like two peas in a pod. Which to be fair, you were. Peter Maximoff intrigued you in every sense of the word. He was new, quite literally other worldly, he was kind, he was funny, he was perfectly mischievous and completely wonderful.

What caught your eye the most was the way he held himself, as if he wasn’t entirely comfortable in his own skin. It became apparent to you that he lacked confidence with the phrases he usually tacked onto the ends of his sentences. When you’d invite him to hang out in the beginning his response would always be something along the lines of, “Sure. If you want me to.” But the excitable puppy dog eyes told you that he was dying for someone to want him to tag along some place.

There was a certain understanding between you. You were both more than accustomed with the harrowing feeling of being alone and even though you’d never exactly voiced those thoughts with each other, you couldn’t deny that his was a spirit kindred to your own and he felt it too.

Since the Avengers has disbanded, one of your best friends, Natasha, was dead and your other best friend, Wanda, was gone completely off the rails and the people chasing her wouldn’t let you anywhere near her or even attempt to help pull her out of her darkness. You were being kept as a wildcard in case they needed her taken down. Peter was no stranger to the feeling of being cast aside and so he quickly responded to your frustrations, and in doing so, forced himself out of his comfort zone to be there for you. To his complete shock though, you’d been so appreciative of his efforts.

You never failed to thank him for the little things he did for you, always complimenting his mutation when he’d use it and giving him the recognition he never received at home. The friendship he formed with you was so… two sided, again, something he wasn’t accustomed to before. It didn’t involve him giving everything he had to offer and receiving nothing in return, you matched his energy meticulously and never left him hanging.

In a series of firsts, he didn’t wonder whether or not you genuinely liked him, never feeling the need or want to question it as you’d left him with no reason to doubt.

As he walked around the mall with you now, his mind brought his attention back to the question you’d asked him rather casually a few nights ago. You were both lounging on your couch, watching some ridiculous reality show (a favourite of yours and Peter’s) when you’d turned your head to look at him, a thoughtful look on your face. “Do you think when S.W.O.R.D figures the technology out to crack into other realities, you’ll go back to yours?”

The question had taken him aback for a second, in all honesty, he hadn’t thought about going home, not when he was with you at least and considering he’d become your roommate about three weeks after he got out of WestView, the thought of returning to his old life had barely crossed his mind.

Being an ex-Avenger you were fairly well off, you lived alone in a two bedroom apartment in New York that you’d bought to be closer to Stark tower. Peter had nowhere to go and aside from having a spare room to offer you’d also been sort of lost in the current of the busy city with everyone you once loved in the area either dead, on the run or busy elsewhere.

While the question hadn’t crossed Peter’s mind, it had crossed yours on several occasions. He’d been staying with you for six months and the moment you realised that he was becoming one of the most important people in your life, the thought of him leaving you too weighed on your mind but at the end of the day you wanted him to feel happy. He deserved to feel happy and if going back to his reality brought him that happiness then you’d support him.

“Dunno,” he’d replied, turning to face you, chucking a handful of popcorn at you when you looked incredulous at his response, “To be honest I haven’t really thought about it, m’way too busy babysitting you anyway.” He joked, effortlessly dodging the few pieces of popcorn you attempted to throw at him.

For the last few nights, the question haunted him, but it wasn’t just the question that was bothering him. You were at the forefront of his mind as he replayed the past six months of his life which also happened to be the best six months of his life. WestView put him through hell but coming out the other side of it and meeting you felt like heaven.

He weighed up the pros and cons of returning to his native timeline. The cons: he’d have to leave you behind, he’d go back to being the loser who nobody took seriously, his talents would be downplayed and disregarded and he’d inevitably end up revisiting his lifestyle of solitude. Then there was the pros: he’d get to reunite with his pac man machine. He couldn’t manage to think up anything else.

If he stayed he’d have everything he ever wanted and needed. You’d be there and he knew you always would be, besides he couldn’t leave you knowing that you needed him. If he left who would wake you up when you had night terrors about the catastrophe that your reality was still recovering from? There would be nobody there to comfort you when you woke up from the nightmares, reliving the deaths of Natasha, Tony or Vision and the experience of being snapped out of existence? If he wasn’t there to make you laugh when you were about to cry then who would be? In his heart of hearts he knew you had a huge support system at your disposal, he’d met most of them. Even though he was well aware that Sam visited you as often as he could, that Bucky wrote you letters on a monthly basis and sometimes tagged along with Sam on his visits, that Stephen Strange appeared in your apartment whenever the urge struck him, that the literal god of thunder invited you out for beer whenever he was visiting Earth, that the little spider-kid, also named Peter, swung by your apartment at least once a week to tell you all about school and his good deeds. Despite knowing all of this and knowing all of these people loved you dearly, Peter wanted to be your main source of support, he didn’t want to be someone who came and went, who’d love you then leave you. He wanted to be with you through anything and everything and the feeling that you’d love him for a lifetime had him satisfied with the decision he was about to make.

If leaving his old life meant he could stay here, with you, and experience happiness for more than a fleeting moment then he’d simply; leave it all behind.

“I’ve been thinking about what you asked me the other night.” He spoke through a mouthful of curly fries. You were sitting in the food court of the mall when he decided to let you in on his desire to stay with you indefinitely.

You raised your eyebrow, “You? Putting thought into an answer? Peter, I think I’m starting to become a bad influence on you.” You told him teasingly, taking a long sip of your drink as he rolled his eyes humorously.

“You’re a terrible influence which is exactly why I’ve decided to stay here and put you on the straight and narrow.” The glee you felt at his statement was undeniable, your eyes lit up and your lips curled upwards.

“You’re staying? Really staying?” Your smile was contagious, Peter’s face now painted with a wide grin as he nodded his head.

In a moment of weakness he frantically added, “Y’know only if you want me to though. If you don’t that’s completely cool.” He rushed through the words, feeling more embarrassed when the fond look on your face never faded.

“Of course I want you to stay. You mean a lot to me.” You reassured him, a gentle smile on your lips as you reached across the metal table, intertwining your fingers with his.

Peter squeezed your hand gratefully, holding it in his grasp securely and allowing his smile to return to his face, “I know. You mean a lot to me too.” It was somewhat of an understatement, he was starting to understand that you didn’t just mean a lot, but that you meant everything.

His resolution lifted a huge weight off your shoulders that you wouldn’t be losing yet another best friend. You were glad he’d be with you when everything blew over with Wanda, the two of them definitely had the potential to develop a beautiful sibling relationship and they both deserved that. Of course, Peter would never replace Pietro and having known them both it was obvious just how different the two men were, the only thing they had in common being their powers and last name. Still, he and Wanda would still be able to work on it. He didn’t hate her after WestView and you knew Wanda well enough to know that she was kind hearted and she’d be more than willing to give him a chance. When she eventually comes back to her senses, that it.

As the months went on, life with you and Peter seemed to only get better. You never stopped laughing, your nightmares died down and Peter had taken on a whole new lease of life. Yourself and Peter were the perfect example of meeting the right person at the right time, you balanced each other out and accentuated the other’s good qualities.

Peter could now say with complete confidence that he was happy and what’s more is that he was finally sure that he was making someone happy.

Up until nearly eleven months of living together your relationship had been purely platonic, save for the constant flirting but flirtation pretty much ran in yours and Peter’s blood. Peter wasn’t going to lie to himself, he’d fallen for you the second you’d peeled the security tags off his stolen sunglasses.

You, on the other hand, had been fighting with yourself because yes, you love Peter but you couldn’t have told him when there was the possibility he’d eventually leave and now so much time has passed and you’ve got such a good thing going you didn’t have it in you to ruin it.

However, all of that changed when your original Maximoff best friend came knocking on your door.

Wanda was on the run. She’d caused an amazing amount of chaos but Stephen Strange and S.W.O.R.D were hot on her trail and now she needed a place to lay low with the twins. She figured there was no place more reliable to go than to the always open arms of her best friend, who conveniently had a divinity for earth magik and could muster up a protective barrier without raising suspicions. And that’s exactly where she found herself; outside your door.

You’d been chasing Peter around the apartment when you heard the knock on the door. Peter was on the opposite end of the kitchen to you, using the bar as a shield from you. “You better get that.”

“Oh you’d like that wouldn’t you?” You glared as you spoke, it was his own fault really. What sort of idiot jumpscares a witch while she’s mid-meditation? He’d frightened you so badly you accidentally blasted a ball of your signature green energy and ruined your favourite couch throw pillow. When you were ready to pounce on the scared speedster the knocks sounded again, more frantic this time.

With one last glare towards Peter you stomped towards the door. Your anger melted away completely when you saw her. Her hood was up and she looked completely exhausted, two small hooded little boys by her side.

“Wanda…” You breathed out, relief flooding your system at the sight of her alive. She didn’t get a chance to speak before your arms were pulling her against you tightly, hugging her as if your life depended on it. Wanda returned in your embrace, allowing herself to relax for the first time in nearly a year, she sniffled against your shoulder, holding back tears as she realised how much she’d truly missed you.

Billy and Tommy watched in confusion as their mother cried into your shoulder. They didn’t know who you were, all their mother had told them was that they were going somewhere safe.

It was the yell of one of the boys that caused you and Wanda to separate, “Uncle P!” With that you felt a familiar rush of air across your leg but instead of Peter appearing one of the kids was gone.

You shared a perplexed look with Wanda, although your confusion was for different reasons.

“Hey hell raisers!” Peter responded, catching the mini speedster who all but threw himself at him barely regaining his balance before the other child had flung himself into the hug.

“Wanda? Those two… are they...?” You started, at a loss for words Wanda cut you off quietly, her tone as disbelieving as yours.

“My children? Yes. Is that…?” You nodded your head numbly, anticipating the end of her question.

“Your fake brother? Yeah.” Quickly, you realised you and a wanted woman catching up with the door wide open wasn’t ideal and you ushered Wanda inside, shutting the door when she walked in.

“Hey.” Peter greeted her simply, as if he hadn’t been used as a meat puppet in her altered reality. It wasn’t in his nature to hold any grudges.

“Hi?” Wanda replied, her voice still twinged with confusion.

“Peter, will you keep an eye on the kids for a bit? Wanda and I have some catching up to do.” You asked him with a nervous laugh, just thankful that Wanda was too tired to argue with your suggestion.

Peter ruffled the boys’ hair and gave you a grin, “Only if you stop trying to kill me.”

You rolled your eyes as you began to lead Wanda into your bedroom, “You’re on probation, jerk.” You called over your shoulder.

Once you were securely in your bedroom, the door locked and sitting comfortably you fixed Wanda with an amused look, “I’d ask you what’s new but I’m not sure I even wanna know.”

Wanda gave you a sad smile while she shook her head, “No, you probably don’t. I will tell you tomorrow, I don’t want to get into it tonight. I’m so tired.” She admitted, her voice overcome with sadness.

“I’ll pump up the air mattress and you and the boys can sleep in here for however long you need. I’d offer you the spare room but that’s where Peter’s been staying and I don’t think empty food containers are the kind of decor you’d be into.” Wanda nodded, squeezing your hand gratefully.

“So his name is Peter?” She asked, curious about the man Agatha had used to trick her in WestView.

You nodded in confirmation, “Yeah. Peter Maximoff, actually.”

Wanda’s brows came to a furrow at that, “Maximoff? So he’s a relation?”

“Yes and no. Peter is from a different reality but he’s still a Maximoff and he’s got super speed. So, and this is just my theory, while you’re not directly related he could still be your brother- if you wanted him to.” You explained, as gently as you could, not trying to push her too far but to nudge the idea in her direction.

Wanda, to your surprise, didn't seem to hate the suggestion, “What is he like?”

A genuine smile made it onto your face then, as you shot into your description of your roommate, “He’s caring, funny, a little bit of a kleptomaniac but he’s working on it. He’s understanding and moronically selfless, moronic in the sense that he doesn’t even realise he’s being selfless. Huge pain in the ass too.” Wanda had a soft smile on her face by the time you’d finished.

“You like him.” Was all she said and you let out a laugh in disbelief, standing up and opening the door.

“Go grab a shower. I’ll have Peter blow up the air mattress while I go introduce myself to my god sons.”

“I thought you’d at least wait until I actually asked you.” Wanda laughed as you walked out of the room.

Things moved fairly quickly after that. As promised you introduced yourself to Billy and Tommy as their god mother, which they seemed more than thrilled about and you assumed that excitement had to do with whatever description of you Peter had given them. Wanda and the twins were all cleaned and fed and had all but collapsed into bed, foregoing the air mattress and huddling together in your double bed instead.

“Where are you sleeping, mother Teresa?” Peter teased as he noticed your eyes drooping where you stood.

“On the couch probably. Or the air mattress.” You mumbled, cutting yourself off with a yawn.

Peter, unimpressed with your options, scoffed, “No way. Come on, you can bunk with me.”

Much like Wanda, you were too tired to argue and you let Peter pull you to his, surprisingly clean, room by the hand.

You both crawled into the bed, lying close together despite the amount of empty space on the mattress.

“How are you feeling about all of this?” Your soft voice broke through the silence and Peter turned his head to look at you.

“About Wanda?” You nodded your head, watching him intently as he rolled onto his side, facing you more comfortably.

Peter shrugged lightly, “I’m feeling ok. Just glad the twins still see me as their cool uncle.” You let out a small laugh at his response.

“Wanda was asking about you. Seemed interested in getting to know the real you.” You informed him, your heartwarming as you watched a hopeful look fall across his face.

A lull settled over the room once again and Peter caught himself staring at you. His eyes drifted over every visible part of you, reminding him of most of the points on his pros list for staying in your universe; your eyes, your lashes, your nose, your lips, you.

“What’re you thinking about?” The sound of your tired voice pulled him out of his thoughts and ultimately pushed him to bite the bullet and tell you how he’s feeling. With you curled up beside him, in his bed, fighting sleep just to stay in his company for as long as you could; he knew there would be no better time.

“Just about how happy I am to be here with you.” He answered you honestly, the butterflies in both of your stomachs fluttering in sync at his words.

You trailed a hand under the duvet and onto the bedsheets between your bodies, feeling around until you found his hand and gently intertwined your fingers. “I’m happy you decided to stay.”

“What you’ve all gone through in this timeline sucks- don’t get me wrong-“ Peter started sincerely, scooting closer to you and dropping his head back down on the edge of your pillow, leaving the pair of you practically nose to nose as he went on.

“And I hate that Wanda had to go through so much… but I’m really glad that it led me to you.” Peter swore in that moment, right after the confession left his mouth, that he could die right now and be completely content knowing that you now knew how he felt.

His heart stopped, and he thought that maybe he was about to die, when you gave him the softest, sweetest smile he’d ever been on the receiving end of and whispered, “I feel the same.”

Time moved in slow motion as he felt you moving your intertwined hands towards your lips, your lips pressed gently against the back of Peter’s hand before you brought them to rest against your chest.

It was a fact to say that Peter Maximoff had never felt intimacy quite like this before. But, experiencing it now, with you, led him to wonder how he’d ever survived without it. He wasn’t sure whether it was natural to crave more, especially when the affection you were showing him was so gentle, but he didn’t care as he let the impulsive side of him take over.

Not sparing another word, Peter closed the small distance between your lips and his. His free hand cupped your jaw while yours wasted no time in getting tangled in his silver hair.

His lips moved softly and surprisingly slowly over yours and he savoured the feeling of your hand holding his while your other got lost in his hair, your body pressed up against him, the way your jaw moved against his palm as you reciprocated the movement of his lips and the taste of your lips, promising himself he’d never let the memory slip from his mind for as long as he lived.

With complete clarity, Peter could say he had felt true, genuine happiness and he had no doubt in his mind that there was absolutely nothing Charles, Hank, Scott or anyone else from his original timeline could say to make him leave this happiness behind. Because in the process of forgetting his old life, he couldn’t deny that he has undoubtedly found himself in the position of a man who had so much more to live for.

[floralovebot]

Please talk about Tecna/ Helia and Icy/ Helia!!

I don't really get how they would be compatible but the dynamic seems interesting!

OOO thank you!!

well like i said for tecna/helia, i don't really see them as a strong romantic ship, but a very strong platonic one! i didn't notice this until just recently, but they surprisingly have a lot in common! they're both major perfectionists that hate to seem incapable around people (especially people they like), they both have a hard time talking about their feelings (although tecna more so), and they're both incredibly passionate about their interests. and like,, that's just the surface level stuff yknow?

for them, i think they would have a hard time becoming friends when they first meet. there would be some mutual respect, but no real desire to become Best Buds™ yknow? but after they actually get to know each other, i think there would be a lot of envy of both of their parts. tecna would feel envious at how helia is able to communicate with people and talk about emotions. helia would feel envious at how seemingly perfect tecna is and how she doesn't let emotions get in the way of her job. and after they stop dancing around each other and just talk one on one they would realize how similar they are and how different their approaches to life are.

after that i can totally see them being best buds! they would hang out and just silently work together (tecna on her gadgets and helia on his art yknow). they're both relatively quiet but not afraid to speak their minds so you know they would have a lot to say in private. i really enjoy the tecna/riven and riven/helia dynamics as well so riven can join them. as a treat. idk i just think tecna/helia platonic dynamic is really interesting and if rainbow allowed them to be friends, they would be really good together!

i also have a personal headcanon that helia isn't great with technology and the Person Who Is Amazing With Tech/Person Who Knows Jack Shit dynamic is really funny to me ajhdgljadh

aldhgljdahgla putting icy/helia under the tags because this is already long and people dont need to see this

i didn't really ship icy with anyone for the longest time. i don't love any of her canon love interests (icy/tritannus is,, weird but interesting but still boring and meh). again, that one guy in the comics was cool but they never went anywhere with that and eventually they stopped being interesting to me. there are a couple of non-canon icy ships that i don't mind, but none of them have ever really stood out to me.

icy/helia was something that i made jokes about in like. high school. with my friends. we noticed that icy kept falling for guys with long hair (aka literally just valtor and tritannus??) and then we joked that maybe she would like helia next. then when i watched s6, their scenes together in the darkwood episodes stood out to me because i remember it was literally like. the first time helia had ever called out the one of the trix by their names. so it was startling and also funny.

after that i kind of just started thinking about their dynamic and idk... the more i thought about it, the more it intrigued me? obviously for it to work it would need to be a universe where icy is good or helia is bad just cause,, yknow. but i think even if they aren't on the same side, there would be some mutual respect there. icy would definitely underestimate him at first and then be pleasantly surprised when he's actually.. capable of things. and helia would underestimate icy in thinking that she's just some crazy witch only to realize that she's actually capable of thinking things through and coming up with good plans and just,, being a relatively good leader.

i think in order for them to work properly, they would need to be around each other enough for them to see each other in action. it definitely wouldn't be a love at first sight thing like it was with florelia. while they might think the other one is pretty when they first meet, they would also need to know what the other person is capable of and i think that's what would get them to like each other. but i can totally see them being able to let down their guards around each other. listen i Love florelia they're literally my favorite ship, but they really put each other on a pedestal which isn't healthy for either of them. icy also has a bad habit of really looking up to her romantic interests and thinking they're so much cooler than they really are. i think icy/helia is one of the rare icy and helia ships where neither party would end up doing that.

they would be able to talk about their emotions without the fear of being seen as weak. they would be able to fail without having a breakdown because the other Might think less of them. they would be able to just be themselves and i think for me personally that's very desirable in a relationship. they would have mutual respect for each other without putting anyone on a pedestal. and they would be able to have fun too! i can totally see icy and helia chilling at an ice cream parlor or by a lake. (not gonna lie but the helia/trix sibling dynamics are one of the reasons i'm starting to really like icy/helia. i think helia and darcy would get along so well and stormy would be like a chaotic little sister to him. so.. it would be nice for them to actually like one of icy's partners alkhgladjhgl)

but one of the main reasons i really like this ship is that i think they would be relatively blunt with each other. there wouldn't be any jealousy or fear of the other leaving them because they would be so upfront about it. "you don't have to worry about that person. if i didn't like you, i wouldn't be with you :))" they're just.. so funny and lowkey endearing to me? i think icy/helia would be a really fun ship to explore!

also i think they just look good together aesthetically ajhgljadhg (i tried to draw them together a while ago but it didn't turn out as good as it looked in my head 😔)

fic writer interview

tagged by @toast-the-unknowing! Thank ya, friend!

name: ShfiftyFive (ao3), talldecafcappuccino (tumblr)

fandoms (i write for): Ted Lasso, but I've written some stuff for Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Parks and Rec, The 100, and some one shots for various fandoms.

two-shot: Home Field Advantage is the my only two shot and it's only because I wanted to give Ted's side of Rebecca visiting him in Kansas. Anytime something goes from a one-shot to something longer it usually becomes a three chapter thing because I am committed to the three act structure. (Committed, trapped by--same thing!)

most popular multi-chapter: Based on kudos and hits, it's this multi-chapter I wrote for LBD about Lizzie and Darcy's day in San Francisco. I'm not totally sure why I wrote it as a multi-chapter since it's a one day event, but I think it had to do with the way they told that story over Twitter? I believe I wrote one chapter for each social media update or something. Idk, but it remains my most read and kudo'd fic which is so wild 😂

actual worst part of writing: When the excitement of a new idea fades. Oof.

how you chose your titles: Uhh with massive panic because I hate coming up with titles. As soon as something sounds okay I just commit and try not to overthink it.

do you outline: Yes and no. Generally I'm flying by the seat of my pants and that works really well for me. It's like that Anne Lamott quoting E.L. Doctorow quote, "Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." But I do need to know how the story ends before I can start writing. I wrote the third chapter of Onward, Forward before I wrote the second chapter to make sure I could make it work beyond a one shot. I outlined when we were young because I had so many plot points to track. At one point I over-outlined and realized I needed to "keep some room for the unimaginable" which made it fun again (butchering that Mary Oliver quote, but the point stands).

ideas I probably won’t get around to but wouldn’t it be nice: I actually don't really have any? My brain is a sieve. Literal goldfish memory. Thoughts flying in and out. I do like to have two things going at once just to remind myself that I will have other ideas in the future. That keeps me from getting too itchy.

Callouts @ me: Could you...write the rest of the fic? I swear the number of comments I've gotten that are like, "...is that really where you're ending things??" It's part me being lazy and part being raised on romcoms where it all ends with a kiss and a camera pulling away from the camera with no further resolution. It's why I keep telling people about the Ted Lasso Remix Challenge 😂Maybe that will change if I get more confident about writing smut since that's where some of those stories would be heading next...

best writing traits: Idk. I like plotting a lot and I think I can do that pretty well? Most of my English teachers told me I was a funny writer which is always an interesting comment, but I guess jokes stand out when you're reading middle/high school fiction.

spicy tangential opinion: Oh gosh. Do I have any? Um...you do you? Oh, here's just a general opinion about fic (not specific to writing it):

Don't stress over leaving comments, but if you want to see more of a thing, commenting is a great way to get more of that thing. It's not spicy, but that's just advice that I personally follow. There are things I really want to see out of some of my ships, but I can't write it. And when I see someone who is able to write it, I like to show my appreciation via comments because a) I LOVE what they wrote and b) I'm not-so-secretly hoping they're going to write more of that in the future. When I get burned out or discouraged by a particular fic, it helps to know other people are still interested and want to read more. I assume it's motivating for other writers as well!

1. say hi! :D (name/age/pronouns)

molly and 20 and she/her but i do not care if i am referred to w they/them pronouns either. i identify v strongly w femininity and also feel like a woman but also gender is not real and was invented by gender companies to sell more gender (and limiting something so complex to a binary scale is silly)!

2. what’s your venus sign? <3

pisces </3 absolutely disgusting the way i gobble up a mere whiff of romance

3. would you rather people perceive you as the person you present to the world or your true self? are they the same?

i think how well someone treats me. i like most people! so ive tried to prioritize healthy and loving relationships more recently.

5. what’s the most embarrassing fanfic you’ve ever read?

during a manic episode a couple months ago i logged on here very briefly for the first time in years and it happened to be when the supernatural finale came out. i have never seen a single episode, scene, or even a clip of supernatural and know nothing about it. but a famous 100k word spn fanfic came on my dash and i read the whole thing. whole time had no idea what actor played dean and what actor played castiel. still dont know which one goes to which. thats not my business.

6. would you rather be fluent in every language or a master of every instrument? if you could only pick one of each what would it be?

language! but one of each would be french and piano :^)

7. share some of your favorite characters!

mr. darcy, grendel, pompey the clown and isabella from measure for measure, hinata from haikyuu!!, ash from banana fish, tamaki from ouran, lisa from my cousin vinny, any lesbian

8. what’s a niche interest/subject you could write a 12-page essay on?

food politics! origin of certain dishes and how every dish is a product of class, either being creative with very little or flaunting an excess of. even the method used to make different things have different meanings!

9. what are you missing the most right now?

Wow I’m so sorry this was so long. But guess what? It’s gonna get even longer. Sorry, again.

So one of the differences between the first and second Thor movies is that Thor 2 has humor in the climax whereas Thor 1 doesn’t. This is because of the differences with who is the villain. In Thor 1, Thor is having to fight his brother. To quote Avengers, they “played together and fought together” for several millennia. Of course there’s not going to be any humor in it cause there shouldn’t be. The climax at the end of the movie isn’t supposed to be some epic battle between the forces of Good TM and Bad TM. It’s supposed to be tragic that he’s having to fight his own brother because Loki lost his mind due to so many factors. The last joke in the film is “You’re an amazon liar brother, always have been” “It’s good to have you back”. There’s nothing else till the end credit scene. That’s because Kenneth Branagh knew that this was supposed to be viewed at as being sad a hopeless, not some awesome upbeat battle.

Thor 2 on the other hand, is exactly that. Thor has known Malekith for.. what? 2 days? Maybe 3? His relationship and dynamic with Malekith is different than with his brother. To Thor, this is just another enemy attacking Asgard. And I’m not sure whether this was intentional or not (because I remember reading somewhere how Allen Taylor had a bitch of a time in the editing process so I think the movie came out different than he intended) but the lack of any personal relationship will Malekith means the film can make really funny jokes and still have it fit with the film. If anything, I might even argue that the humor helped the film to maintain a very nice positive vibe. Idk I can’t think of the right words to explain it but the jokes actually fit the film very well.

However, then we move on to Ragnarok. With Ragnarok, Thor is fighting his sister. While (just like Malekith) he has only known her for two days, that still doesn’t take away the fact that he is having to fight his sibling. And I’m not a film director but if I had the option of approaching this situation and taking it the Thor 1 route or the the Thor 2 route, I’d go with Thor 1. Because it’s actually incredibly tragic that Hela has been driven to insanity like Loki (though ok a different level) due to Odin’s shitty parenting. She is the horrible way she is because Odin made her that way. And that could’ve been an AMAZINGLY complex story with the audience feeling so much sympathy for Hela like we did with Loki in Thor 1, but the narrative just falls flat for two reasons. 1) Taika admitted he didn’t want the film to be emotionally complex so 2) The humor in the climax completely detracts from the seriousness of the situation.

Also, some side notes: Yes, this is edited from the original. I accidentally deleted everything and then had to go back and add everything back in. So I also had to re-tag people too. And I also added a bit more explanation at the end. I meant to do so when I originally posted but it never got done till now. Sry. Also sry that it’s so long

Hellraiser Fandom and The Invisibility of Women’s Abuse (Cont. w/commentary)

@chutzpahhooplah‘s tags: 

#this is such a frustrating point of contention between white het hellraiser fanboys and the rest of us#it's utterly baffling that this is how they engage with his character bcs like you point out#women respond to pinhead differently. it never occurred to me that there even was another way to engage with his character!!#there's something so comforting in his straightforwardness. he has absolutely 0 artifice in his original incarnation.#that's why i vibbed with his character both sexually and emotionally#but as I said earlier the dude bros who only see him as this uber aggro Monster Predator Fiend#can't go beyond his teeth barring body horror torture porn aesthetic that is used in the promo material#he hits all of the sweet spots for guys who hate women and love torture and want to be So Fucking Rational and Logical#the same guys who worship the twee goblin lords of logic and reason ben shapiro and jordan peterson#Pinhead is to them a creature who is Calm and Reserved because he's a creature of logic bcs hell is a place of Order#but when he loses his composure and go all screaming angry misogynist#like in the comics and later films and TSG#it's Different because....idk. Reasons. Male loss of composure isn't bad if it isn't Tears.#or feeeeeeeeeeemoid emotions :/#ANYWAY that's a lot of words to say male fans of the show who like him as a general slasher and take away ALL of his nuance#and reduce and ignore Kirsty Cotton and her nuanced relationship with Pinhead#are fake fans.#also in a better world Darcy would be a modern Elvira.

Original post HERE.

Bolding is mine for emphasis.

These are such great points.

Regarding how easy it is to click into his actual characterization vs. the way men portray him, I totally agree. Part of my high level of annoyance with this shit is because it’s so baffling how much men rewrite this character in their own heads. 

You aren’t the only one to notice the weird emphasis on the version of Pinhead in promo material and figurines who’s snarling with his teeth bared, and A) how different that is from his actual behavior in canon and B) how much men fucking love this mental image of the character. It’s something I noticed and also have heard from several other female fans as well.

I still can’t get over the grimacing figurine of Pinhead with fucking pants instead of a skirt. It was so weird.

Regarding the narrative of Hell being this place of Order and Rules etc. and how Pinhead is this creature of calm logic, and how fanboys can’t get enough of that element... it’s so on point that you say this, because I’ve always had a complicated relationship with the way Hellraiser fandom loves that concept so much. I can appreciate it, but I can also see it’s weak spots.

The funny thing is, I watched part two of the Leviathan doc where Peter Atkins and Tony Randall were discussing the creation of Leviathan and the Labyrinth. THAT was where the idea of Hell’s ordered nature came into being - they wanted to depict order as a source of horror - it’s why Leviathan is a shape in the sky and the labyrinth is so geometric. It was an aesthetic choice first and foremost.

The concept of Pinhead being a force of order has more to do with fan headcanon and the development of comic book characterization and story lines than it has to do with the integrity of the character in the films. I’m much more interested in it as an exploration of the themes than I am of using it as his greatest personality trait.

And yet, overemphasis on it always seems to pull away from the emotional undercurrent of what the cenobites are. It’s the thing that fanboys do all their mental masturbation over.

Order is essentially a word substituted for the possibility of empathy and moral judgement being something underlying Pinhead’s character, because those feelings “weaken” the character, while Order gives a great, easy explanation for why he might do empathetic things.

@dame-lazarus​ tagged me to list 7 comfort movies.  and @ilikeblue​ and one or two other people! but I’m terrible and also had kidney stones and so give me a break? idk idk.

1. TWISTER

I truly don’t know how many times I would have to watch this movie to be tired of this movie? The limit does not exist. I truly love it so much I want to cry about how much I love it. 

2. Mean Girls

The level of Seen I felt when I first watched this movie is...unexplainable. When Cady gets up in class to go to the bathroom because she just...doesn’t know any better? THE WHOLE LIKE BEING A HOMESCHOOLER THAT DOESN’T KNOW ANY OF THE RULES? Also, just...the whole movie is such a classic. I love it. Also, Regina/Janis, don’t @ me. 

3. Clueless

Another perfect movie I have watched so many times if it was a VHS it would’ve broken. It just makes me happy. Age differences. Long simmering feelings. Butt-crazy in love. Awkwardly not knowing what to do with feelings. PAUL RUDD AND HIS SWEET FACE AND HIS LOVING CHER FOR HER BEING EXACTLY HOW SHE IS.

4. The Cutting Edge 

A movie in which an older, injured hockey player takes up pairs figure skating in order to recuperate (?????) and is paired with a younger, nearly cruel young woman who has secretly been self-sabotaging for years and years? AND I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO WATCH IT UNTIL MY EYES TURN TO DUST? This movie is formative as fuck. I saw it the first time when I was 4 or 5 years old and then I pretended to do tequila shots using my grandma’s lemon juice because it made my face screw up like the tequila did to Kate in the movie. CHOICES. I MADE ‘EM. 

5. Beauty and the Beast

The list of my biggest childhood disappointments begins and ends with what Beast looked like when he transformed into a human. I remember being four years old and so pissed off. That being said, if you want to know why I am the way I am and why I like the things I like, please refer to me watching this movie at a very young age and subsequently being obsessed with it for the rest of my life. 

6. Pride & Prejudice (1995)

I’m not saying Jennifer Ehle’s breasts are the reason I’m a lesbian, but I’m not not saying that either. I’m also not not saying that the director telling Colin Firth to look at her like Darcy has an inappropriate boner didn’t fundamentally change the way I think about how people should gaze in cinema. (It’s also the perfect direction. I love it so much.) While I think Persuasion is probably my favorite Austen, and imo, her best work, there is something about P&P that is endlessly comforting. It makes me feel like I have a fluffy blanket and a hot toddy and a rainy day around me at all times. It’s like home. 

7. Waiting for Guffman

This is one of those movies that I can watch a thousand times and still laugh and sometimes still find new things to laugh at. It’s also one of those movies that’s special for me and my younger sister, and one of those movies that I unfortunately quote in my every day life to the confusio of those around me. It’s so funny and so weird and so strangely sad in placed and I truly love it.

Pick your top 10 ships without reading the questions. [or if you’re a one ship dedicated blog, feel free to answer all of them for just that one, or do all the ships from one fandom, this is just for fun].

Jlaire

Jlaireby

Barbmura

Taakitz

Marynon

Clairy

Jlairja

Kreli

Glitradora

Warstaff

This is honestly only an ordered list to keep things simple for myself. Also, the list of honorable mentions contains Blinky/AAARRGGHH!!! and PV!Ladynoir Lucky Charm.

Do you remember the episode/chapter/scene where you first started shipping 6? 

It was never any one episode that had me start shipping Claire and Mary. Rather, I started headcanoning Mary as a lesbian in “The Reckless Club”, and I began planning how I would use this as a character arc for her in my seasonal amulet au. I thought it would be funny if Claire were to react to Mary coming out to her as “if you had come out to me before Jim got the nerve to talk to me I would’ve asked you out because I had a crush on you for years.” I ended up transferring this hc to my view of the canon, that Claire has had an on-again off-again crush since sixth grade, and whether or not she gets over it is entirely dependent on what I’m writing.

What’s your favorite fanfiction for 4? 

My favorite Taakitz fanfic is Lup Cons a Goddess into Murdering her Brother (for fun and profit). Despite the title, it’s very sweet.

What’s your favorite fan art/picture for 2?

This piece by @winterwithers is a great photoset of Jlaireby art

What’s your favorite headcanon for 1? 

I can’t think of a favorite so I’ll just share a headcanon that is a must to me for their relationship: their natural lifespans are about the same. Maybe they both age like regular humans, maybe Jim ages like a troll and Claire has an extended lifespan due to her magic. Either way, one won’t die of old age and the other has to live for centuries after them.

Though I have considered writing a sequel to I Will Learn to Let You Go (I Won't Let Go) whose premise is that Claire will have to outlive a human-again!Jim so she doesn’t have to watch Jim’s body rapidly degenerate in a maximum of 24 months.

What do you like most about the dynamic between the people of 7?

Just how well they work together. Like, Jim and Aja are one of my fave BROTP’s for Tales of Arcadia based on the one episode where they knew the truth about each other which is why I find it odd that I don’t like romantic Aj*m outside of a poly ship, and Jim and Claire definitely have worked well together. As for Aja and Claire, they haven’t interacted much in canon but there’s something about the scene where Aja supposedly hacks the power grid that tells me they’d work together well.

When 9 have sex is it more giggly or more serious?

I’m ace and not that interested in sex, so let me just say my only Glitradora NSFW headcanon is that Catra does something to her claws for safety.

EDIT: IDK why it suddenly posted, but here’s the rest

Out of all the ships who do you think have the best chemistry? 

It took me forvever to figure out the difference between “best chemistry” and “strongest bond”. I guess Jlairja or Taakitz?

Which ship has the strongest bond? 

Jlaireby, hands down.

Which ship do you spend the most time reading fanfiction for/talking/writing about?

Jlaire is definitely the top ship here. However, Taakitz is second for reading and Marynon is second for writing.

Which one was your first ship?

Jlaire

If 6 were to break up, how would it happen? 

Oof. Unfortunately, I could see the right combination of Mary’s past as a player, Claire’s perfectionism, and both of their self-esteem issues contributing to a messy breakup where Darci is trying to get them to remain friends so she isn’t awkwardly caught in the middle.

Between 3 and 8, who would last the longest if they were in a zombie apocalypse? 

On one hand, Krel might be immune to zombies. On the other, so might Nomura and more importantly, Barbara is a doctor. Thus, Barbmura > Kreli.

Does 7 hide their relationship, and if so, why?

They might hide it from Claire’s parents for a little bit, since I can see them being the least understanding between the various parental figures. However, I don’t think they’d really hide it anymore after Jim becomes a troll? Unless they decided to do something convoluted where it looks like Claire dumped Jim for the “human” Aja.

What is 9′s favorite date to go on? 

Do ice cream parlors exist in Etheria? Because I can see glitradora enjoying them.

What’s your favorite canon moment between 10? 

Uh... hm... Toby and Claire impersonating changelings at the Janus Order was pretty good.

What do 5 argue most about? 

How to best make use of the television.

If you had to pick an OTP which would you chose? 

Do I have to? Because I’d have to narrow it down to Taakitz, Jlaire, and Marynon.

What’s the biggest kink that 1 shares? 

Still ace, still not interested in sex, still 19 years old so this question is rather awkward for me... I guess Claire counts as a monsterfucker? And that’s not even NSFW, she definitely looks like she finds troll!Jim hot and even professed her love to him.

Do 8 want children?

Not particularly, though Krel and Eli will happily be uncles.

Between 10 and 4, which would you rather become canon? 

I mean, Taakitz already is canon, and I’d rather not have to deal with the breakup arcs w/in Tales of Arcadia for Claire and Toby to get together.

Does 2 do much PDA? And does it annoy their friends? 

Yes. Draal would like them to get a room, just because this basement belongs to your family doesn’t mean he can’t kick Jim, Toby, and Claire out. Mary finds it cute.

Which of the ships would you say is the most romantic with each other?

“I... was crazy about you, before some weird light told me a story about your one hundred year journey through existence where you were fighting for a century to save the world. I love you, Taako, and at this point, I think that everyone in reality is going to love you after hearing your story, and... nothing’s gonna change that.”

Yeah, I’m going to say that canonically they have the most romance, and the only reason why we didn’t get to watch Taako and Kravitz’s relationship develop more is because roleplaying a romance with your family member must be really awkward (and that is why all of my D&D characters don’t have a love interest.)

How would the proposal between 5 go? 

Do you know that one vid of the two sapphic ladies proposing to each other because at the zoo? Yeah, that’s how it goes between Mary and Shannon.

Who cooks more often in 3?

I’d say Nomura would make sure Barbara doesn’t get to cook for both their sakes, but since she’s stuck in troll form she might actually like Barbara’s cooking. That being said, whether or not Barbara likes Barbara’s cooking is another story.

[deathloveshischicagopizza]

So I'm writing a VLD fic

@comfortably-chaotic-mind I'm tagging you bc you know this fic and I'm sure you'll want to hear this lol plus this is kind of a funny story...sorry for the long post though

Everybody else, I'm very very very sorry you have to put up with this but I'm really upset about this right now so I gotta get this out

Basically, Keith's dad was super close with the latest Admiral of the Galaxy Garrison. Like I'm not sure what happened with them (maybe graduated together?? or the admiral taught him some life lesson??? idk) but Kogane trusts Dos Santos with his LIFE okay

And he basically says that Dos Santos is Keith's godfather in his will

So when Kogane dies...Dos Santos shows up and is like bitch u ain't takin this boi to the home

So Keith becomes like the housecat-ghostboy-orphan of the Galaxy Garrison. He likes sitting with the old people, climbing in the rafters, and sneaking around to scare the shot out of the cadets.

He's also an avid reader. (A personal headcanon of mine but blown up to a massive proportion.)

Like I mean this boy eats books for breakfast lunch and dinner. If he's awake, he's reading. He listens to audio books to fall asleep half the time (the other half of the time he's blasting Disturbed or FOB or something edgy like that).

This boy has read every book that could even VAGUELY be considered interesting.

Okay, let me just tell you:

The average school library has a ratio of between 10 and 20 books per student.

Let's say the Garrison has 5000 students (just larger than West Points cadet count) and their ratio is small at 10. That's 50000 books in the library.

Probably 10000 are extra copies or second/third/twelfth editions of the same books (going by the ratio of 1/5 that my school had). That's still 40000.

I'm gonna be nice and say that 500 are reference books, another 500 are random (small, informational or entertaining, don't fit a special category), 25000 are nonfiction, and 14000 are nonfiction.

Keith is almost 13 at this point in the story.

As an avid reader myself, I started reading at four. Keith started at five in the story.

I was six when I read my first 200pager. So was Keith.

So let's say he started on the smallest books in the Garrison at age 5. That's 500 in a year. About a book and a half a day.

Boom. Down to 35500 books in the library.

(As we all know, I hope, the library will rotate books, causing the number to fluctuate a bit. But let's say for the sake of math that it stays this way)

His dad already gets supplies from the Garrison (because he lives on Garrison property shhh it makes sense) so he starts asking for more books because Keith is just eating them up.

So the countdown to 15000 starts.

This is where I should explain that I literally lived down the road from a small town library until I was ten years old. I know what it's like to have access to books. I went to the library with my uncle every saturday afternoon. The librarian knew my name and used to come to my soccer games when he could. He was my best friend.

I remember when I was about seven I started getting frustrated because I would go through all my books in the first few days of the week and then be out until Saturday. I started taking my bookbag with me. I made my uncle (in his teens) take one, too. We crammed anywhere from thirty to sixty books into those bags and carried more with us.

The only reason we got away with it (because there was a 20 book limit) was because we had six library cards between the three of us--i had mine and my mom's, my uncle had his, his best friends, and my grandma's, and the library dude was nice enough to lend us his if we needed it.

So yeah. On a good week, I got about seventy books. That's ten books a day.

(I should explain that I still went to school. I went to public school with plenty of kids who hated reading enough for all of us. I had teachers who either insisted I was some kind of genius--i wasnt--or banished me to the hallway for reading Jane Austen during reading time when they specifically said to pick something at the class reading level. I know this life. It's kinda sucky.)

So yeah. Ten books a day, seven days a week, for fifty-two weeks. I got through the entire small-town library (4000 books) in just over a year.

Yes, I even read the reference books. Yes, I had to ask for help with some of the more sophisticated books in the library. (Yes, I skipped a few of the research books. I was eight. Sue me.)

What I'm saying is that it is realistic for me to have Keith reading 5 or 6 thousand books a year for eight years, because in this story he has LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE TO DO.

His dad homeschools him without schooling him at all (unschooling, look it up on wikipedia--yes I know it probably doesn't work like that, but it's my AU and I do what I want). Then his dad dies when he's just over eight and he's alone in the house for a year. Just books to keep him company.

Then (after meeting Sam Holt) he starts trekking out to the Garrison, creeping around the halls and camping out in the library when he feels like it.

He makes friends with the campus librarian. Professors give him books for his birthday. At twelve, he got Sam and Dos Santos to help him build a room onto the old shack so his books weren't just lying wherever in the house. The room has twelve bookcases (three on each wall) each with five shelves (60 shelves total) and full of books (about 2000 books total, give or take).

He doesn't socialize a lot (he's still Keith) but it's not that he doesn't want to. It's just that he's awkward (he's still KEITH). If people would stick around for a while (more than ten minutes), he's actually really cool and funny, even if he's a little defensive/shorttempered/oblivious/clueless.

(Just because you're smart and read a lot doesn't mean you understand everything. Just because you know how to make jokes doesn't mean you always catch them or that you understand idioms or innuendos or anything that isn't straight talk.)

His jokes are literature based. He uses sarcasm a lot even though half the time it comes out wrong. He identifies with both Darcy and Elizabeth on a spiritual level.

He has a room at Dos Santos' that has a bookcase full of composition notebooks, themselves full of notes on all the books he's read, little doodles of scenes he really likes, and jokey little summaries of long reference passages.

He's a nerd who never had to learn how to socialize with real people. He LIKES people. He's not a robot, and he doesn't automatically hate you on sight.

He's just been through a lot in his life, and he's still just a lonely little kid.

Anyway. Keith reads about twenty fiction/short books some days, four longer reference/textbook books other days. It varies. It took him six hours to get through Under the Dome, and there was one time he read eleven aeronautics manuals in eight hours and then passed out for fourteen, but mostly he takes longer for reference books/textbooks than fiction books/memoirs.

Also he's read the dictionary/thesaurus like forty times by the time he's thirteen and he shows ZERO sign of stopping. It's basically a religion at this point.

So let me break this down again:

Garrison library has 50,000 books. Minus 10,000 because they're copies/lame editions. That's 40,000 books.

1000 are reference books or random (small, informational or entertaining, don't fit a special category) books, 25000 are nonfiction/memoir/diagram based/school or lesson based, and 14000 are nonfiction.

Keith starts reading at five. His first five hundred are done when he's six--he starts on the next five hundred and finishes within months. His dad starts asking for larger shipments.

By the time Keith is seven, he's read 2000 books.

We're down to 38,000 books in the Garrison library.

Between seven and eight, he reads another 3000. Down to 35,000 books in the Garrison library.

A couple months later (500 books down, 34,500 to go) his dad dies. He's alone in the house for 10 months, only books to keep him company.

He reads another 4,000 books in this time. By the time he turns nine, he's reading at a high school level. 30,500 to go.

Sam visit on his ninth birthday. He brings more books, invites him to visit the Garrison sometime. The librarian could use some company.

Keith does.

By the time he's ten, he's read another 6,500 books. It's a really good year. 24,000 to go.

Age 10-11: 6,000 books. 18,000 to go.

Age 11-12: 5,750 books.12,250 to go

He's turning 13 in a few weeks. This year he has so far read 5,375 books. He wants to hit 5500 again. For the five year anniversary.

It's not a good year. He's not feeling great. He starts talking to Matt more than he used to. Matt pushes him a little. He says he can do it. Keith believes him. He's never lied to him before.

(That Keith knows of. What goes to his benefit is unnecessary knowledge for him.)

He hits 5,500. 6,750 to go.

This is where I am now.

Now by all accounts, there are a few notes I should make.

There is a portion of books at Keith's home that he has not read. They are books the librarian gave him because she knew he hadn't read them before they were getting rotated out for a new shipment. This is probably 500 books.

That makes the total 7,250.

Less than ten thousand.

He has read 33,250 books in eight years (ages 5 to 13). Average: 4156.25 books per year, 11.3 books per day.

I'm almost twenty and I read 55,383 books between the ages of 4 and 18 (between the first book I read at home and the last book I read before my graduation ceremony). Average: 3955.93~ books per year, 10.8 books per day.

I didn't have a lot of friends. I was bffs with every librarian I met/had. In 10th grade world history we had to give one cool/weird fact in an introductory assignment and I told them I had read every book in the school library. No one believed me. I told them I could prove it. She said go ahead.

"I have read every book in the school library. The librarian can vouch for me. They have not rotated their books since I was in eighth grade. My grandmother works here, so I know. There are exactly 17,488 books in the library, not including extra copies or "editions" like all they did was change two sentences in the intro that's hardly new information. But whatever. I started reading that year. I made a list of every book i read that year. There were 3272. That's 14216 to go--all of which were in the fiction and nonfiction sections. My grandmother checked them out. If you go into her records from that year and take that list and add it to my list from last year in 9th grade, you'll see that I read every single book. I started with the reference section that year and then went to the manga, then the nonfiction, then the historical fiction, then the fantasy fiction. I had already read most of the books in the fiction section. 6,791 out of 7,918 to be exact. That's 7425 to go. I'd also read 3577 if the 6298 nonfiction books. That's 3848 to go. Over the course of the last school year, which lasted exactly 42 weeks, I checked out 30 books every Monday and 50 books every Thursday. That's eighty books every week. Times 42, that's 3360. 488 left. I hung out with my grandmother while she worked over the summer. I kept my reading up, only for the first half. By the end of July--the 29th--I had read the rest. That's nine books a day every day. Don't believe me? Ask the librarian."

So the teacher did.

She put the librarian on speakerphone.

The librarian went on a full ten minute rant about how ridiculously difficult it was checking out fifty books at a time.

My history teacher wouldn't come within 2ft of my desk until after holiday break, and she didn't go into the library at all that year.

Moral of the story: IT IS TOTALLY LOGICAL/ACCEPTABLE THAT I HAVE KEITH READING OVER 30,000 BOOKS IN EIGHT YEARS IN THIS FIC OKAY PLEASE DON'T COME AT ME OVER THIS

Baby Daddies Part 2 (Halloween Special)

Requested: idk why but i’m having some serious baby fever. could you something with a character(s) of your choosing with kids that’s super fluffy and amazing like the rest of your writing?

(you have two children with two different baby daddies lol bye)

Pairings: Stiles Stilinski x Reader, Issac Lahey x Reader

Part 1

Reader’s POV

Today was one of the best days in the whole year, Halloween. I went all out for halloween and I had always been prepared for this day. Amy had loved this day and I was glad I had someone to share my excitement with because neither Peter or Stiles liked the so called ‘Devil Holiday’. Stiles had always hated halloween and honestly I found it funny how he was scared of scary movies but not of the supernatural. This year I had convinced him to dress up for Peter’s sake. We were invited to a small halloween party before we went out to trick or treat. We had decided we were going to be the guardians of the galaxy. Peter had loved the movie and after weeks of preparing his costume he was ready to be baby groot while Stiles was ready to be Starlord and I was ready to be Gamora. Amy wanted to be a zombie princess but as soon as she saw us all matching she wanted to fit in and so she was now a way prettier version of Rocket. “Mommy look!” Peter yelled as I finished putting some green makeup on my arm. I looked at Peter who was standing there in his adorable groot costume and Stiles played one of the songs which Peter immediately started to dance to. I laughed as I walked to Stiles who was now dressed as Starlord and I couldn’t help but to check him out. 

“You look extremely handsome.” I winked at him before biting my lip and he smiled at me placing a kiss on my lips. 

“Me? Look at you.” He leaned into my ear before whispering. “You’re turning me on right now.” I giggled slapping my hand on his chest. 

“Don’t be a horny teenager, that phase has past baby.” I winked at him as I heard a knock on the door. 

“I’ll get that.” Stiles said placing his phone on silent and I looked over to Amy who was messing with her new ears. 

“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?” I frowned and she walked to me. 

“I love it, I just need to fix these ears a little bit.” She stuck out her tongue as she concentrated on fixing them, something she had gotten from Issac. 

“Um babe?” I heard Stiles’ voice and I looked over to him and I noticed Issac standing at the door next to him wearing the same costume. 

“Daddy!” Amy smiled and ran to Issac and he picked her up placing small kisses on her face. I walked over to stand next to Stiles and looked at Issac in confusion.

“Issac, what are you doing here?” I crossed my arms and he looked at me, the smile on his face not fading. “You know this year is my time to have her on Halloween.” I sighed out. 

“I know, and I wouldn’t have shown up but Amy here invited me to the party you were going to and I thought since I wasn’t doing anything, maybe I could tag along?” I looked at Amy who popped her bottom lip out and started pounding. 

“It’s my parent’s party Issac, my whole family is going to be there.” Stiles put a hand on my shoulder and I knew he was trying to keep me calm. 

“Please mommy.” Amy spoke and I sighed looking at Stiles.

“It doesn’t bother me.” He smiled at me but I knew it bothered him more than he could say. 

“Mommy.” Peter rubbed his eyes as he yanked on my black dress. “Grandma’s house?” I sighed as I picked him up and smiled at him. 

“Yeah, we’re going.” I looked at Issac and Amy who were both pouting. “Fine, but I swear Issac if you do something like you did on her birthday you’re gone.” 

“Yay!” Amy clapped her hands and kissed Issac’s check before wiggling in his arms and coming to hug my legs. “Thank you mommy!” She smiled up at me and Stiles looked at her. 

“Hey, why don’t you and Peter go get your candy baskets so we can leave, yeah?” He smiled at her as I put Peter on his feet and they both ran off. “Was it necessary to dress up as literally the exact same thing as me?” Stiles huffed and I put my hand on his chest. 

“I’m serious Issac if you pull anything like you did on her birthday you’re gone and you won’t be able to come anywhere with us again.” He rolled his eyes. 

“Have a little faith in me, will you?” He winked at me causing me to roll my eyes once more. 

“Don’t.” Stiles’ spoke and at the moment I didn’t know who he was talking to me or Issac.

_________________

“(Y/N), you made it!” I heard my mom yell over the music as she walked towards me immediately noticing Issac behind me holding an excited Amy. 

“Grandma!” She wiggled out of Issac’s arms and ran to her as she hugged her legs. 

“Hey honey, why don’t you go play.” She smiled down at her after giving her a hug. Amy smiled at skipped away. “Where’s Stiles and Peter?” She said calmly. 

“They’re in the car, Peter had and accident.” I answered her and I could cut the tension with a knife.

“Hello mrs. (y/l/n).” Issac spoke behind me and I knew he was only doing it to piss her off. 

“Issac.” She gritted out her teeth and I sighed when she walked away. 

“Was that necessary Issac?” I crossed my arms looking at him and he smirked. 

“Hey, she was the one that was pretending not to see me.” I rolled my eyes and Stiles walked in the door carrying Peter. 

“He’s not feeling well.” Stiles looked at me and I sighed taking Peter in my arms. 

“What’s wrong honey?” I rubbed his back as he laid his head on my shoulder. 

“I think it was all that candy he ate this morning.” Stiles spoke and I sighed, he had sneaked some candy up from the kitchen and we found him in his room eating way too many of it. 

“Daddy!” Amy’s shaky voice called and both Stiles and Issac were alert. She ran to Stiles’ legs and hugged them and he picked her up. 

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Stiles rubbed his hand up and down her back and I couldn’t help but notice the sad look on Issac’s face. 

“Darcy said I looked ugly.” She cried and I sighed she wasn’t anything remotely close to ugly and I had to talk to Darcy about calling people ugly. 

“Hey, you’re the most beautiful girl in here, aside from your mom, that is.” Stiles smiled at her and Amy wiped her eyes. 

“Promise?” Her make up was a little ruined now but it didn’t matter.

“I promise, now go be a big girl and tell Darcy that you’re just as pretty as your mom.” Stiles’ put her down and I smiled when she ran off. 

“Thank you.” I smiled at Stiles and gave him a small kiss on the lips. 

“I would have told her to hit her.” Issac huffed and I rolled my eyes. 

“And that’s exactly why she didn't run to you, all the things you tell her to do is what gets her in trouble and she knows that.” I hissed out and Stiles put his hand on my lower back. 

“Hey, come on, let’s go say hi to all your family.” Stiles forced me to move and honestly I was glad he did. After saying our hello’s to all of my family I was sitting on the couch with a sleeping Peter in my arms as my cousins talked among themselves. Stiles was talking to my dad and Issac was playing with Amy and the kids, no one expected Issac here and no one wanted him here, they didn’t like him to begin with when he left me and they didn't like him even more when he cursed at my parents at Amy’s birthday party. 

“How do you do it (y/n)?” Olga, one of my cousins spoke and I looked at her dressed as a rabbit. 

“Do what?” I looked at her confused and she giggled. 

“Get two of the hottest boys in beacon hills, can you hook me up with that McCall guy, I heard he works good with his hands.” She bit her lip and I cringed in the process. 

“First of all Olga, Stiles is definitely the hottest out of them and second of all Scott would never go for you.” Brittany, another one of my cousins, spoke before I could.

“Oh hell no, Issac’s definitely the better looking Starlord tonight girls.” Stacy spoke and I rolled my eyes. 

“You guys really need to learn some personal boundaries. Those guys are my kids father’s. One being my boyfriend so Brittany, please don’t ever let those words leave your mouth ever again or so help me I will make your life a living hell. Issac’s taken, and in case you didn’t realize if you were to get with him and it got that serious you’d be helping raise my child and I'll be dammed if my child ever got you as a step parent.” I stood up from the couch slowly as Peter was a bit heavy on my arms. 

“See I told you she still liked Issac.” I rolled my eyes and I knew they didn't think I'd hear them but I did. I walked to the backyard that was empty and reminisced on the times I had run all over the yard.

“Hey.” I was startled by Issac’s voice and he chuckled sitting next to me on the swing. “Here, let me take him.” He stretched out his arms for Peter but I shook my head. 

“No it’s fine.” He chuckled and took him anyways and Peter snuggled into his chest and I could feel my arms relaxing. 

“You’ve had him in your arms for three hours, I’ll let you take a break.” I rolled my eyes and looked back into the window noticing Stiles laughing with my dad almost dropping his beer in the process and I couldn’t help the smile on my face. “He’s great with everyone, isn’t he?” Issac’s voice made me turn back around and I looked at him. “Amy never comes to me for advice, she only sees me as the fun parent, and I guess it is my fault but I want to be more than just that. I want her to see me like Stiles.” Issac looked down at Peter who was stirring in his arms but grabbed his shirt and pulled it close to him, something he had done with his favorite blanket. 

“Well be that parent Issac, I don’t know what to tell you. You can’t expect to be taken seriously when all you do is try to keep her happy. I know it’s hard trust me you don’t want her to hate you but when you give her some type of discipline she’ll stop looking at you as a friend and more like a parent.” He smiled at me and I looked at Peter. 

“Do you think we would have ever worked out? If I hadn’t had left.” I gulped and I had asked myself this question one to many times. 

“I don’t know Issac, and truthfully, I don’t want to know. What we had was great until you left me when I needed you the most. Now we have a daughter together and she loves us both, let’s just leave it at that.” He sighed and looked down at his feet. 

“Allison broke up with me.” I looked at him shocked, she hadn’t shown any kind of sign that she was unhappy. “She said she couldn’t handle being a mother figure anymore, that she was tired of pretending she was something that she wasn’t.” I felt bad for him, I did, now I knew the reason for his weird question I never wanted him to ask. 

“Well you can’t expect anyone to live up to being a parent, I was blessed with Stiles, he had always loved kids and well it wasn’t easy at first with you being a dick and all.” He chuckled and shook his head. “But he warmed up to Amy in a heartbeat I think it had something to do with the fact that he was there from the beginning.” I smiled at him. “You’ll find someone Issac, and until you do I suggest you learn how to be a cool and a bad parent.” He chuckled once more and I smiled. 

“Hey.” Stiles’ voice made me jump as if I was doing something wrong.

“Hey.” I smiled at him as I got up quickly. 

“You ready to take Amy trick or treating? She’s been looking for the both of you for the past half hour.” I hadn't realized we were out here so long. Stiles looked at Peter in Issac’s arms and he looked at me almost immediately. 

“I’ll take him.” I smiled at Issac as I grabbed Peter from his arms and he slowly woke up. 

“Mommy?” He rubbed his eyes and I smiled at him. 

“Hey, are you feeling better?” He looked at Stiles and stretched his arms for him before nodding. Stiles took him into his arms and I smiled. “Does that mean you’re up to do a little trick or treating?” His eyes lit up. 

“Yes!” He shouted and Stiles chuckled.

“Hey man come on, you’re going to make me deaf.” Peter giggled and I smiled before looking back at Issac who looked uncomfortable. 

“Go get Amy, yeah?” He nodded and for the first time in years Issac Lahey didn’t talk back. When he left Stiles looked at me with a worried expression in his face. 

“Should I be worried?” I gave him a confused look. “About Issac and you, should I be worried?” I sighed before shaking my head. 

“Of course not, he was just telling me about Allison, she broke up with him.” Stiles nodded. 

“I trust you baby, you know that, right?” I nodded and he kissed my forehead, I loved this man and I was grateful to have him. 

“Trick or treat!” Peter yelled and I laughed when Stiles held his ear. 

“Dude, what did we say about yelling?” Peter giggled and I laughed when he tried to give me a high five but Stiles stopped him.

We had spent more than three hours walking down the street of beacon hills. Amy had been with Stiles and Peter half the time and me and Issac were forced to stay behind together. He had told me more about his recent break up with Allison and how he had found out she was still talking to Scott in that way. I tried to feel sorry for him but something in the back of my mind was happy he got the heartbreak I did when he left me. Stiles had convinced Amy to go with Issac after he heard a teenage couple call me and Issac the cutest couple they had seen. Stiles was never the jealous type which made me second question his recent actions. Peter had gotten twice the candy Amy had gotten simply because of his costume and I couldn’t help but imagine how Amy was going to react when we got home. Peter had ran to me crying after one house that had scared the living shit out of both him and Stiles. Stiles could have sworn it was something supernatural which cause Issac to investigate only to find nothing there. Peter didn’t leave my side, and neither did Stiles and I didn’t know if it was because he wanted to protect me or because he was scared. We called it quits after that and when we got home Amy dumped all her candy out on the floor. I had told Issac to examine the candy before letting her eat it and to my surprise he actually did. When Peter dumped his out Amy looked at it and frowned, I had told her we were all sharing the candy and she was happy about that. They didn’t last long awake, once they had a piece of their candy they had passed out on the floor. Issac had taken Amy to her room and Stiles had taken Peter to his. Issac left after and Stiles made sure the door was locked that night. He came into the room only to toss me on the bed ad he told me how good I looked in my costume and I in return.

[aprilmillerphd-archive]

This is a Bias List. Because I am Biased, and also a Follow Forever. For reasons. Mostly that April hit a milestone and that’s friggin’ amazing in my book.

So I have to start with @darcywho who has been my main and exclusive Darcy since... well actually since I took April from the private rpc into the independent rpc something like four or five years ago. I know Mariah IRL (and will soon be living within easy driving distance of her)-- and basically. Mariah is bombtastic. She’s hella smart and funny, and when I’m having a crappy day (or given how the beginning of this year went, a crappy year) -- she texts me incessantly to talk about what Darcy is doing, and what April and Darcy should be doing, and I have so much character history, and Important Events, and developmental experiences just from talking and writing with Mariah, that I honestly don’t think April would be the character she is, without having had Darcy’s mitigating influence. We’ve just done so much that we’ve reached a point in our friendship and writing relationship where I literally feel as if Mariah could write April, and do her justice and vice versa. If y’all don’t follow her already, you should get on that because seriously, she is the absolute best take on Darcy Lewis that I have ever encountered in the Marvel RPC, and I know the PC rp com is going to jump down my throat for ‘making comparisons’-- but again. THis boo is my main and exclusive Darcy Lewis, also I do whut I want. @scarsearned MANGOOOOO. Okay so funfact; this brat used to have a diff url and we chat on dis/cord and it STILL took me like three days to realize on tumblr they were the same person. I FOLLOW YOU ON FOUR BLOGS MANGO. THis is what you signed up for all those years ago. I’m sorry. SO TO THE POINT! Mango has a bevy of blogs she runs, I met her when she wrote almost exclusively on Rummers here, and what I say ‘met her’ I mean I started sending her asks talking about Brock Rumlow, reread her rules and realized she had a password, at which point we were already talking over Skype, and then I sent in her password and she teased me relentlessly for it. (I deserved it, I’m a total goob)-- Mango is right up there with Mariah in terms of IMPORTANT character development shit. Mango writes a CANON DIVERGENT Brock Rumlow, and has put so much time into developing him, I think Marvel should give her a fuckin’ job. She’s also like... insanely smart. I say this as someone who likes to play at being really intelligent. Mango talks and I feel like I’m back in grade school and I want to hide myself away in shame. So obviously it’s no wonder we ended up shipping. (Actually no, I still have literally no idea how or why THAT happened tbqh I’m a fuckin’ potato) -- but Mango and Mariah go hand in hand because I introduced them and now their Brock and Darcy are inextricably linked forevermore as siblings and it’s fuckin’ A Plus. @russkiyuragan YET ANOTHER PERSON I MET BECAUSE OF MANGO. But also hella quality child of canon OC. Like, legit we started talking because Mango dragged us into a group rp and it turned into us mutuall talking about character development and now basically Seamus is one of April’s smols. Even though he really ISN’T one of hers. She’s basically claimed him as a child who needs mothering and dammit she is going to give him all the mothering ever. Even if he doesn’t need or want it. AND BASICALLY THEY ARE A FUCKING SWEETHEART WHO NEEDS ALL THE FUCKING LOVE because they’re really insanely smart and super sweet and friendly and I heart them. @phxtxn PHIL!!! OKAY SO I MET PHIL IN A CLOSED RPC FOR-FUCKING-EVER AGO. And immediately Genis and April butted heads. (He destroyed like half her office, ruined a couple PRICELESS books and then offered to buy her lunch in apology. Suffice to say April was less than impressed) -- except over the years, they’ve gotten really close. Occasionally Phil and I delve into the divergent canon where April and Genis actually end up romantically involved but it always ends in heartache because April is bad at being happy and Genis is bad at... well.. mitigating April’s more extreme bouts of self-loathing. BUT they are exceptional friends and Phil has a fantastic knack for finding the fun and funny in every situation and driving April absolutely UP A WALL. Phil’s also another rp partner I dragged into the collective with Mariah, because I like it when my writing partners all write together because I’m a spoiled princess. Phil’s a total sweetheart though and his Genis Vell is motherfucking spot on. He’s spent a lot of time with the character and it shows, but he also understands pragmatic, human interactions from a writing sense so it’s always a joy when we write together or chat. @askprofessorx NAAAAYYAA -- Naya’s another of those rpers I sort of. Grew on. Like a fungus. I wooed her with poetry first and then introduced her Charl to April and what I consider to be one of my more beautifully painful plot ideas. It involved time travel and the overhanging possibility of April dying. And because April was from the modern era trying desperately to get back, it was that much more painful when she started developing connections. And basically Naya and I plotted everything out over IMs and asks and now we have the most ridiculous tiny person ship in the history of ridiculous ships and Naya’s Charles is like... the cornerstone of my favorite Charles’s. She’s got this beautiful grasp of our fave telepath’s charming flirtatiousness and paired with the very Serious way he views morality and the world, which combined with April’s general cynicism (and it should be noted, our mutant verse involves April being a touch-telepath who can’t actually touch people without destroying their brains because control? what is that)-- and you have an April experiencing her worst fear. Which is not being in-control of herself. It’s beautiful and Naya is beautiful bean. @iremembereveryonethatleaves AHAHAHA Lilo was the first  ‘child’ April ever like. Accidentally adopted. And it happened entirely because of my age of aquarius verse, wherein instead of April seeking out Charles Xavier, she looked for Magneto instead. She found him. And his kid. And I literally have no idea WHY OR HOW April ended up becoming surrogate mom to Lilo since there’s no rational reason for Magneto getting along with April who is a cynical, borderline nihilist with Serious Rage Issues. But-- April and Lilo. Mommy and daughter and just. LITERALLY ALL MY HEART AND LOVE FOR THIS PERSON WHO MADE WRITING MUTANT APRIL FUN AND NOT PAINFUL. Until you (you asshole) made it painful. I still go through our tags to read all th angst, and I didn’t do it half so well as you and Tori did so.. @actually-i-prefer-magneto frick me so apparently I did my mutant crew in a triumvirate.  The flipside of the age of aquarius verse, where April found Magneto instead and became part of his Brotherhood. Because who wouldn’t have a need for a hyperpolyglot, with genius level intelligence and touch-telepathy? Magneto knew what he was getting out of the bargain, I just don’t think he expected April Miller. TBQH. Nobody ever expects her which is great, and this basically started as an incredibly painful, probably tragic plot that I had (sort of) intended to result in April’s death and it didn’t go that route. Like. At all. probably because these two babes understand that good angst is hard to come by and with the persistent low-hanging threat of April’s head getting blown off, or even worse, her returning to her own time, it meant that every interaction was always charged with a lowkey kind of desperation and tension.  Even when Erik and April got that ‘happy’ ending. It took an actual fucking lifetime to get there. And the best thing about Kristy is that she’s smart as fuck, I seem to surround myself with people who make writing look easy, and whose ability to thread together a long arching plot is so absolutely bafflingly amazing I am often struck stupid. @captain-outoftime AaBbbbYyyyYyy. So like- I met Abby through Mariah. Abby is the Steeb to Mariah’s Darcy. They’re hitched. It’s great. April helped Steve propose to Darcy even though April seems to have a PERPETUAL ISSUE with Steve Rogers that defies all explanation. IDK-- it’s probably something to do with the fact that April is a giant pain the ass and a tiny, fight-y blonde? WTF knows. Steve tolerates April. Abby tolerates me. Abby is a goddess. Beautiful, smart, funny as fuck, and like. Constantly busy. How she manages to balance RL shit with rp is beyond the scope of my ability to grasp yo but she’s the bomb-diggity. @americanasitgets MOTHERFUCKIN’ GABBY! My DC babe. Light of my liiife, fire in my loins, (not really but I was on a roll yo) -- I also met Gabby because of Mariah. And Gabby’s Clark. Gabby’s Clark is made of fucking sunshine okay, and the best part is, is that we’ve had like a sustained rp universe where April harasses Clark and doesnt know he’s superman, WHILE TASH-TRALKING SUPERMAN TO CLARK’S FACE. It’s comedy gold. Poor April. But I love Gabby, because she’s smart as shit and fuckin’ hysterical, and will literally snowball crack scenarios over IM into the wee hours of the morning. Even better, I’ve found someone whose as bad at keeping track of threads as me. (I say, as I eyeball our New Krypton thread that’s been in my drafts folder for like. Six months. Oops). @talonscourt D I KNOW THROUGH MY TIM BLOG-- but who I first met on April and then promptly FORGOT ABOUT because I’m a total dipshit. D writes Jason Todd, April surrogate son. This is a recent development. Tim loves Jason, April loves Jason. D is amazing as Jason. D is like... my platonic lover from Narnia. They’re smart as hell, and incredibly sweet even when I’m shit at keeping in contact because my real life is a hot-fuckin-mess and I’m always sick and on the verge of nuclear collapse. I would be TOTALLY LOST WITHOUT YOU. @galaeus Echo. As written by the ever talented Amy who I’ve known since April’s very first incarnation. Which... is a long ass time, Amy’s seen April through several character developments and rewrites, and has legit known April as a character since like. Legit. Post Tim. When April was a baby.  Echo is April’s other southern, raised by a pageant queen biffle. They shoot the shit together, Echo is also legit the only person in existence whose allowed to give April nicknames, or turn April into a diminutive. Amy’s basically like... hands down the reason why i never gave up on writing an Indie female OC, and that’s because Amy’s a boss and she also happens to be a spectacular writer, both in the RPC and in real life. @agentharrisonofshield and last but not least, this girl. Right here. April has like... a bevy of Awesome Girl Squad frands. All of whom are infinitely more talented and bad ass than she is, like. Legit. April’s smart. but in a fight? She’s basically cannon fodder by comparison. She just isn’t built for the field. April and Viv became friends because they got locked in a closet together. I’m not sure HOW that happened, but now they get together and chat in other languages and April feeds her, and basically this s the woman April goes to when she wants someone shot. I literally love all the headcanons we’ve put together and that Agent Harrison is invariably the first ‘shield agent’ April casually mentions outside of Echo, in threads of mine. That’s how you know you’ve found an awesome rp partner and friend. When their own characters start casually infiltrating your threads in the form of namedrops.

tagged by @soulfulspikethekiller tagging: @whoawhatwhoa @ghoshts @pauldrons

1. Which book has been on your shelves the longest?

It’s either my Famous Five collection or my Agatha Christies. My grandad gave me both around the same time, so I’m not sure which I started reading first.

2. What is your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next?

The last book I read was The Knife of Never Letting Go (And I’m never going to let go of the shitty way that book killed the dog, not touching that pointlessly miserable series again) and I’m probably going to start reading Cormoran Strike next because my friends recommended it and I’m a glutton for murder mysteries.

3. Which book does everyone like and you hated?

I have a fair few books that still make me Angry, many of them from the Victorian novel period I was forced to study in uni. Madame Bovary stands out as a novel full of boring twats who don’t know what they want and all they do for like 300 fucking pages is have their heads in the clouds. Why is it a fucking classic, it’s so damn irritating. If we’re talking about more modern novels I particularly despise that Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. The ‘romantic’ lead in that is honestly such an arrogant unloving knobhead I don’t understand why he’s allowed to exist. To say nothing of the GROSSNESS of many different aspects of the way females are treated… yeah I would say if you value yourself as a woman just don’t read it.

4. Which book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read, but you probably won’t?

I bought the first two instalments to Anne Rice’s vampire books since I loved the film Interview with the Vampire. I remember trying to read it at one point but I think I got bored 1/5 of the way through and never tried again. I think I’ve grown too out of my vampire phase to read it now.

5. Which book are you saving for “retirement?”

War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Les Miserables. Any one of those massive classics that everyone is supposed to read but is just too long and requires too much brainpower after a long week at work to bother with.

6. Last page: read it first or wait till the end?

Let it be known that I have never once looked at the end. I am pure and disciplined in this. I’m not even tempted.

7. Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside?

They can be interesting, and lovely. Karen Chance’s recent one was for the fans and I loved it. Same for the last Harry Potter book, however many years ago it came out, I remember it because it included an acknowledgement to the fans. Definitely worth perusing when you’ve finished an amazing book and don’t know what to do with yourself for like a week (which is when I start absentmindedly flicking through the entire book).

8. Which book character would you switch places with?

It would have to be a character that can do magic and cool stuff like that, but without all the difficult lifeyness of a Harry Potter character. I think I’d be someone from The Worst Witch, like one of the minor characters that never gets in trouble.

9. Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)?

Yeah, who doesn’t? All my Cassie books remind me of summer holidays because that’s when I like reading them the most. My Japanese murder book Out reminds me of the girl in my history class who lent it to me. My Agatha Christies remind me of my grandpa (who still loves the odd Poirot episode). I have lots more, too many to list.

10. Name a book you acquired in some interesting way.

I entered a random giveaway and won an advanced reading copy of RTS. I don’t know how many people entered but I was one of the first to win, which is pretty cool.

11. Have you ever given away a book for a special reason to a special person?

No. I lent my sister When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit once and she left it on the plane. I’ve never let anyone have one of my books since.

12. Which book has been with you to the most places?

I think my Catch 22. Before I got my Cassies, that was my go-to book to read on holidays and any free time I had. I don’t even know how many times I’ve read it, it’s so good.

13. Any “required reading” you hated in high school that wasn’t so bad ten years later?

I thought Winter’s Tale was stupid for the longest time (and I still think Leontes is a massive idiot) but when I had to study it again in uni I found its familiarity oddly comforting. It wasn’t ten years, but hey, I’ve only just reached that milestone.

14. What is the strangest item you’ve ever found in a book?

I can’t remember that sort of thing unfortunately, even if I did ever find anything. I’m sure I’ve never found anything odd, I mostly buy new books.

15. Used or brand new?

Brand new. I don’t have anything against used books but I guess it’s just easier for me to buy new?

16. Stephen King: Literary genius or opiate of the masses?

Never read one [shrug]

17. Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the book?

Lord of the Rings might actually be better than the books. You know what, it is. The books had some funny things that weren’t in the films, yes, but they also had useless stuff like Tom Bombadil that were thankfully cut out. The films made me FEEL SO MUCH. I FEEL SO ALIVE WHEN I MARATHON LOTR.

18. Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to celluloid?

I’m gonna go ahead and copy Mai here because I TOO LOATHE ‘2005 Pride and Prejudice’ WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING IT WAS TERRIBLE THE CASTING WAS TERRIBLE IT WAS ALL WRONG WRONG WRONG WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE IT IT WAS AWFUL COLIN FIRTH IS THE ONE AND ONLY SUPREME DARCY. Also Northern Lights (Golden Compass) was so perfectly casted (except for Lyra) and then they just fucked up the entire film’s adaptation idk I think maybe the book was just meant for TV more than film, like Harry Potter.

19. Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question?

God all of the Famous Five books ALWAYS had food and even though it described stuff that was gross in theory like ‘tongue’ I would get hungry and salivate because it was so deliciously and meticulously written.

20. Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take?

Oh man any one of my supertrash gang are 100% trustworthy.

book meme 2

1) Do you have a certain place at home for reading?

My bed, most often.

2) Bookmark or random piece of paper?

I have homemade and bought bookmarks, I practically collect them.

3) Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/a certain amount of pages?

It’s very difficult for me to stop reading once I get a good rhythm going. It’d be like stopping your dinner in the middle of your meal and going out for a walk or to do chores and it’s just weird I can’t do it. If I’m really in love with the book I’ll go without food and sleep lol

4) Do you eat or drink while reading?

Depends how much I’m into the book. If I’m really enjoying it, I’ll forget to do basic human functions like that haha (see above). If I can manage to tear myself away for a few minutes I’ll grab some easy insta-food like bananas or snacks and eat while I read.

5) Music or TV while reading?

NOTHING. THERE MUST BE ABSOLUTE SILENCE. But once I get into the book you could fly a plane into my room and I wouldn’t notice.

6) Reading at home or everywhere?

Has to be somewhere I can be mostly by myself and I’ve got at least an hour of peace ahead. If in public, only on a long journey and I have nobody sitting next to me on a seat.

7) Reading out loud or silently in your head?

Silently. I don’t think I ever read out loud, even when I was a child.

8) Do you read ahead or even skip pages?

I might sometimes come upon a scene that makes me go UUUGGGGHHH but I will struggle through it rather than skip ahead. I might read it faster and with less attempt at full comprehension though (rest in pieces Mircass scenes)

9) Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

Fuck keeping it new, you need to break in the spine so your hands don’t hurt when you’re reading it.

10) Do you write in your books?

Nope. They made us do it for high school but it always felt wrong to me on some level. I couldn’t just 100% focus on reading if I had a pen in my hand the whole time. I’m starting to do it with my kindle though, I like it there.

Top 10 fave fanfics of all time

I was tagged by @ruby-red-inky-blue and @operaticspacetrash thank you!!! 

OK. I started reading fanfic literally like, over 10 years ago now. I have been through A LOT of fandoms and there are SO MANY fics that I have loved and adored, so to narrow this down, I have picked the ones that immediately came to mind when I thought “my fave fics ever”

In no particular order:

1. Delicate by padfoot4ever (Harry Potter, Rose/Scorpius) First R/S fic I thought of, basically the story of Rose being a pregnant teen (and Scorpius being the father). It’s funny, heartfelt, the characters are Actual Human Disasters and it’s honestly perfect. This fic and its sequel had a huge influence on my own writing, so it honestly means a lot to me.

2. Mistake by GraeLiars (Harry Potter, Rose/Scorpius) The story of an epic one night stand, I would KILL for this author’s writing style (tbh, I just love everything they have ever written). This is so fucking funny, the Rose and Scorpius in this fic are hilarious and ridiculous, but it still manages to be emotional at the same time??? INCREDIBLE.

3. Making Mistakes by little0bird (Harry Potter, Harry/Ginny) Again, basically every fic this author ever wrote, but I picked this one because it was the first of their fics I ever read. I honestly see this as canon. It’s a perfect telling of when Albus Potter was born, and all the other fics tie in together as well! 

4. If Every Word I Said Could Make You Laugh by carmelinagunn (Twilight, Edward/Bella) LOOK I WENT THROUGH THE OBLIGATORY TWILIGHT PHASE OK???? It was 2008, I was like 16, DON’T JUDGE ME!!!! This is here because to this day, I still remember this fic and seriously, it meant to much to baby-me. I have no idea why. I think I loved the modern au vibe of found families & group dynamics, and I remember it being cheesy and full of running jokes. Look, at the end of the day I don’t care how embarrassing it is, this fic will always be dear to me, no matter what, ok???? 

 5. He is the Master of His Fate, She is the Captain of Her Soul by ScullyLikesScience @scullylikesscience (The X-Files, Mulder/Scully) The first xf fic I thought of was this, and holy shit, is it perfect. This entire fic is canon. Everything that happens not only fits in with the canon episodes, but actually explains shit that the show doesn’t, allows their relationship to actually make sense, and makes season 7 & beyond 10000% better. A mammoth task, but it does it amazingly.  

6. Blinded by White Light by dashakay @dashakay (The X-Files, Mulder/Scully) WHO WAS NOT FUCKED UP BY THIS FIC, AMIRIGHT????? Look, I’m not super into post-colonisation fic, but the premise of this sounded intriguing enough so I gave it a go and HO-LY-SHIT. I love this so damn much, it’s unreal. 

7. Au Café Pequod by sunflowerseedsandscience @sunflowerseedsandscience (The X-Files, Mulder/Scully) I joke constantly that this is my favourite fanfic of all time, but sometimes I think I’m not actually kidding lol. I didn’t think I would be that into a WWII au, but this fic killed me to the point where I even drew ridiculous stick-figure fanart for it (I’m sorry Natalie, lol)  

8. Personally, I'd Rather Lick Sand by orchidvines (Pride & Prejudice, Darcy/Elizabeth) I have read a FUCKTON of P&P fics, but this is the first one I thought of (basically, I adore everything this author has ever written). A modern au where Georgiana Darcy becomes Lizzy’s new flatmate and that’s how she meets Darcy, and it’s such so funny and quirky, I love it.

9. Apologize by evitascarlett  (Castle, Castle/Beckett) Look, this fic is something insane like over 600,000 words long??!?!??? It’s a MASSIVE undertaking, holy shit. But I read literally all of it. An au in which Beckett’s mother didn’t die and instead went into witness protection, it was so well thought out and written amazingly, I lived for every update. 

10. paper thin by aMassiveDisappointment (BadOldWest) @lyresandlasers (Rogue One, Cassian/Jyn) I have to include at least one rebelcaptain fic, so I picked one that I super duper love, and this was it. It’s a modern/collage au and IT IS AMAZING. Sex and yelling through walls, this is funny and sweet and I adore it. 

Honorable mentions include:  Half-light by @how-i-met-your-mulder (The X-Files )  The World Through a Scope by @ruby-red-inky-blue (Rogue One)  Little Merman by bananaman48 (Percy Jackson)  Feeling Electric by ProfessorSpork (Doctor Who)  Necessary Roughness by agoodwoman (The X-Files) 

Idk who to tag to do this or who’s done it yet or not so uhhhhhhhh @how-i-met-your-mulder @i-am-having-an-emotion @shey-falls @sunflowerseedsandscience @hiriahb @badwolfgirl01 ???? Like if yall want to, no pressure at all xoxo 

#this is embarrassing #i basically called myself out about all my old fandoms with this lol #long post #hp fanfic #ro fanfic #xf fanfic #moon stuff #again pls don't judge me for my twilight phase #I WAS 16 DAMN IT

[todokori-kun]

Yeah, in the first Avengers movie Loki introduces himself like

“I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.”

(And then Dr. Selvig just has to say “Loki? Brother of Thor?” and ruin his moment)

That picture…oh my. Well, since I don’t exactly go around staring at people’s butts, especially when I’m watching movies (that can wait until I’m at least 16), I wouldn’t know if he’s truly burdened with glorious posterior or not…

Why am I laughing so much right now

Honestly I feel like I’m still at the maturity level where I find these things funny instead of attractive/sexy

Though since I’m 13 I guess it would be slightly worrying if I did found anything sexy lol

YEAH you watched the movie! And I know. Loki gets steadily worse as the movies go on but in Thor 1 he’s definitely relatable and it’s easy to feel for him. My other fave from Thor is Darcy (I also ship Darcy/Loki AKA tasertricks. Idk, it’s one of my crackier ships but it’s also pretty popular in the MCU fandom…possibly because Darcy is one of those sassy minor characters who get shipped with everybody and everything).

And now you’ve seen Loki’s daddy issues. At least his mother is a good parent…?

Don’t be salty Queen Luna! My hair isn’t that long either (it’s like the same length as Thor’s in the first movie, and my mom probably isn’t going to let it get any longer lol).

Also: I have no idea why I always want to make things into a Hamilton AU but

Loki- Burr

Thor- Ham

Nick Fury- G. Wash

Wanda- Eliza (I think you said you haven’t seen Avengers 2 yet, so I guess you’ll understand why I picked her when you see it…it was mostly a choice based on personality. Wanda is Scarlet Witch and while shipping her with Thor is extreme crack and a little bit creepy considering she’s the youngest avenger (minus Vision, who was literally born yesterday), I didn’t really want to have Jane as Eliza. Jane’s nice but she’s not fleshed out enough to be Eliza, plus she and Thor sort of break up later on)

Natasha- Angelica

I feel like Tony-Steve could also be a good Burr-Ham relationship, but I have no idea who would be who. Personality wise it’s really mixed up: Tony has Hamilton’s ambition and talent with words (he’s also reliable with the LADIES) as well as his slightly selfish attitude, but Steve has more of the incredible determination and sense of justice. And for the roles they play, I feel like it’s more Tony=Burr and Steve=Ham (Tony’s jealous of Steve in a way after all- this is the guy who is the perfect hero, the golden boy he can never hope to be, the man his father considered his best project. Plus, their moments in Age of Ultron and Civil War…) but I’m not sure…

And one more thing:

Loki vs. Burr: Who is saltier?

Yeah, Touka might not be one of my favorites but don’t kill her off ;-; at least not now.

Oooh, Ravenclaw definitely seems to suit you! :D But the little bit of Slytherin…you know, I’ve always considered Loki a Slytherin with shades of Ravenclaw (faint, but they’re there). You balance each other out, Luna/Loki was meant to be :)

Lizzy is DEFINITELY best girl. I mean, come on, look at everything she’s done for Ciel!

I’m excited to read those HCs XD

(And a random thing (my brain creates a lot of those):

Remember how Steve mentions in his first movie that he never learned how to dance? Well, I look like an injured octopus when I try to dance, so just imagine… I’d step on his feet, he’d have no idea what to do with his hands, we’d trip over each other’s legs. It’d be an awkward mess.

Then again, I’m so uncoordinated that dancing would probably not go well even if my partner was someone really graceful like Loki or Natasha lol)

Loki fangirls are a mixed bunch. There are the nice, intelligent people who love to make theories and headcanons and write really beautiful fics. There are the more casual fans who just like Loki and/or his actor, Tom Hiddleston.

Then there are the people who worship the ground Loki walks on and believe he can do no wrong.

(Let’s see…killed his biological father, tried to kill his adoptive brother, almost committed genocide, tried to take over an entire planet, fantastically racist towards humans, may or may not have brought his adoptive father to a sticky end…

Yep. 100% pure cinnamon roll. Couldn’t hurt a fly.)

Awww tysm <3333 @(^_^)@

(I do get jealous a bit too easily though. Probably because I have no friends outside of the internet and so when I like someone I really cling to them…and when a friend/just someone I’m close with starts getting close with a stranger I guess my insecurity starts to make me nervous about being left behind lol)

I shall get down on my knees and beg for your forgiveness, your majesty.

that won’t stop all these fandoms from taking over your life tho

Third things third,

Send a prayer to the ones up above

All the hate that you’ve heard has turned your spirit to a dove

Your spirit up above…

Also:

I think I’ve started creating lists of songs for various characters and is it ok if I send you some?

I actually went to rewatch the first few minutes to see that scene. My reaction: sweetie, put that spear away before you poke someone you’re not supposed to poke. 

Poor Loki… All of his moments get ruined XD

To be completely honest, my first reaction isn’t to look at the booty either, unless it is the first thing I see. Even then, I’ll quickly get over it.  and when I saw that picture, I wanted to laugh out loud. I would’ve if it hadn’t been 3am with most of my family sleeping.  Thor of Assgard really had me cracking up, though.

I’m pretty sure that that picture would make most people laugh, instead of finding it sexy XD And I unfortunately can’t find any sufficient pictures that’ll show if Loki’s got the booty or nah.

Is Darcy the oblivious friend of Jane? The one whose ipod got stollen? Honestly, like I said countless times before, I’m not a shippy person and I guess I’m not deep enough into the fandom to ship anything just yet (except for Natasha and Bruce. because hell yeah)

Doesn’t his mom die in Thor 2 though? Spoiler Minefield Internet™ makes its move yet again. I probably should’ve waited a bit before tearing into the Avengers tag ^^;;;;

That’s still longer than mine :p I mean, I’m usually fine with having short hair, but seeing someone as fabulous as Thor does make me a bit jelly XD

So, funny thing. This morning, I was in the bus, listening to my playlist when Wait For It came on. And I just couldn’t help but think of our dearest Drama King (not you :p) and then I come home to this, an Avengers/Hamilton crossover. Great minds think alike ;) I did see Avengers 2 (age of Ultron, right?) I just don’t remember it very well, that’s why it’s on my ‘to watch’ list ^^;;;

To be absolutely honest, I don’t like Jane. She just seems like she was thrown into the story to hame some Thor romance and that’s it. There was no real character development in the movie for her…

Boy, Wanda and Thor would be an interesting relationship XD Maybe Sif? She seems nice enough… I haven’t watched Thor 2, tho

I don’t know…? I still have to watch all the other movies to get a better grasp of Steve’s personality. And it’s be nice if I got reminded of Tony’s a bit more, which I’ll be after Ultron ^^

Loki is saltier. Burr did shoot Ham, but he didn’t attempt to wipe out an entire race.

Touka deserves a nice death, if she does get one. unLIKE YMIR WHOSE DEATH I AM STILL NOT OVER.

I was a bit bored in school today, which means my brain was working at full power, conjuring the weirdest scenarios ever. Here’s one of them High school au, where Loki is the soft nerd who always gets protected by his mighty Jock brother.  that’s as far as i got, but i do find the idea of Nerd Loki quite amusing XD

Awwww, the most adorable thing ever. And the stalker friend would be there filming the whole ordeal :)))

I call Loki my problematic fave. Keyword: problematic. He definitely has some very serious issues in his life and I’m not going to pretend he’s perfect. In fact, he’s very, very far from it.  Honestly, I don’t even know how he ended up as a favourite *facepalms into tomorrow*

You won’t get left behind. If anyone leaves Evans behind, they’ll have an angry Luna coming for them hahah Trust me, I don’t know how I seem, but I have my fair share of insecurities as well. 

I was choking in the crowd Building my rain up in the cloud Falling like ashes to the ground Hoping my feelings, they would drown But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing Inhibited, limited ‘Til it broke open and rained down It rained down, like…

Also, can I say one more thing? I am very, very impressed with how they handled Clint's archery. I used to do archery and usually, i get incredibly mad over how badly it's executed in the movie, but i was seriously impressed this time! They even gave him an elbow guard!
