#idk i'm a little nervous posting this for some reason

[luveline]

Hey jade, I hope you had a good Christmas,

Love your writing so much it brings me so much serotonin 🤣🤣 I have a request for hotch if you’d be up to it, I just love this man’s patience and understanding and would love to see him interact with reader who struggles with sex? Or just sexual stuff in general, like maybe she feels really embarrassed about it and doesn’t know how to talk about it with him? Idk if this is something you’d be interested in just thought I’d throw it out there. Regardless, I can’t wait to see what you post next ♥️♥️♥️

hotch lends you some comfort when a certain topic flusters you, 1.1k

cw adult themes, mdni 

“It's almost cheaper to have kids.” 

You scoop your gaze from the deodorants. “What?” you ask, looking first to Hotch, and then to his eyeline. “Oh.” 

The grocery store boasts a few rows of contraceptives. Condoms, dental dams, and under that, lubes and stimulants in candy rainbow colours. Thirty one ninety nine for silicone-free, aloe vera flavoured lube. Twenty seven for o-gel. 

You avert your gaze without fact-checking him on the condoms, laughing awkwardly as your heart races. “Right.” 

“I'm kidding. Just feeding Jack is a surprising expense.” He says surprising like it's delightful. “Good thing we have cushy jobs.” 

Oh, he's feeling funny tonight. Your laugh is authentic as he takes your arm, the basket in his other clinking as he starts forward again. You finish your quick stock up and Hotch pays for your things despite your protests, packing you and the bags into his ‘cushy’ car. 

You're a little embarrassed in the passenger seat. Your relationship with Hotch is complicated in that while you're in the official early days, you pined for a long time. You're undoubtedly in love with him, and though he's your boss and your senior, he seems to have taken a similar liking to you, hence another chilled out date night upon his invitation. And you've you've messed around like teenagers with kisses too hot and hands wandering, but you haven't fucked, and it's a problem, because your usual awkwardness around the subject grows bigger the longer you wait. 

Hotch can wait forever if he wants, you're not trying to rush him. If he wanted to fuck you tonight you'd probably be too nervous anyhow. 

You can't talk about condoms. How are you going to cope when you have to use one? 

Your stomach churns the longer you think about it. Hotch doesn't react at first, but you know he's figured you out when he covers your hand atop your knee and gives it a squeeze. You okay?

“Can we turn on the radio?” you ask. 

His hand lifts away slowly. He turns on the radio, and you think, oh, he's mad. No, not mad. Irritated, maybe, or confused. That's not fair to him. You think it anyway, sick to your stomach as he parks in the parking garage under his building and you make your way up. 

He doesn't pull any punches —as soon as you're inside with your shoes off and the door locked, he puts the groceries on the counter and looks at you until you meet his eyes. 

“I'm sorry,” he says. 

“What for?” you ask, startled. 

“I made you uncomfortable. I didn't mean to imply anything before you're ready.” He's handsome like this, earnest, his eyebrows raised and an inviting palm held open on the counter beside him. “It was a poorly judged joke.” 

“No, no, I,” —you bring a hand to your mouth, cover it, uncover it— “don't mind if you want to joke about it. It would be weird to care, right?” 

He hears an insecurity in your tone you don't mean to reveal, and he pieces it together swiftly. Understanding lines his eyes. “I don't think so,” he murmurs. 

You're embarrassed beyond words, but he is your boyfriend. He asked with a little expensive bracelet and your favourite baked treat from the bakery near work. You'd only ever mentioned it once, but he remembered. He knows you well, and he's never given you reason to be afraid of his reactions. 

“It's just so embarrassing,” you mumble, staring down at your socks. 

“What is?” he asks, crossing the kitchen to take your hands. “You don't have to be embarrassed about anything, you're perfect.” 

Your breath catches, your neck cracking uncomfortably as you look up. “I– I don't know how to talk about it. I know it's childish.” 

“No, it's not. It's a big thing, and it comes naturally to some people, but not everyone.” His brow furrows a little, the warm depth of his voice working to unspool the tight panic you'd been clinging to, “I'd never push you to do something you're not ready for.” 

“I know that. It's not you. And I don't know if I'm ready or not, it's just–” Your face is hot enough to boil rain. You shake your head. It's too difficult to explain. 

Hotch ushers you into his solid chest. “It's okay,” he says, patting your back gently. “Don't worry about it.” 

“I want us to be like everyone else,” you confess. 

“We are. You're not the first woman to get nervous about the idea of intimacy, sweetheart, I promise. And I'm not the first man to make a bad joke about contraceptives.” He laughs as you laugh, two huffing chuckles as he presses his lips to the top of your head. “You can take as much time as you need to get used to the idea, and if it's still weird when you're ready, does it matter? We'll be weird about it together. Or we won't be. Okay?” 

“Yeah, okay… thank you, Aaron.” 

“I waited a long, long time for this,” he says, giving your back a pointed little squeeze. “And it's more than I ever thought I'd get. I'm not worried about the rest. I'm in no rush, and you shouldn't be either.” 

You hide your face in his chest for a while, somehow more embarrassed than when you'd started. He draws lines up and down your back with his palm patiently. “It's okay,” he says again, kissing the side of your face. After a moment, he encourages your head back with a hand on your cheek, checking your expression carefully before leaning in for a kiss. His hair tickles your forehead. 

To your relief, it doesn't make you nervous. He probably never could, not when he's touching you so softly. 

You're feeling a hundred times better when you pull away. A tad mortified still, but relieved to know your struggle with talking about it isn't a turn off. If he can stick with you through this bump in the road, you can try, at least, to overcome it. 

“Is lube really thirty two dollars?” you ask in a whisper. 

“I don't know. I've never needed it.” 

He spends the next ten minutes laughing and apologising sincerely as steam pours out of your ears.

Jungkook x Reader: Lost You

Summary: You've always been in love with him, but today you were done waiting for him, to see you, to understand you. You were finally done with Jeon Jungkook.

Wc: 1.9k

A/n: I tried something new idk how it is. I'm almost nervous to post it. But who cares 😶‍🌫️. Anyway Chan and Jimin were spotted in a restaurant in comfy clothes and I'm digging that!

⚠️: Its kinda sad (?!), Jungkook is a douche bag, a little suggestive.

_____________________________________

You kept calling him but no use, his phone was switched off. He should have been here 3 hours ago. You hoped, he was in a business meeting as he told you when you asked him to come home by 6 and he said he'd be home by 7 as he had a meeting. 

You still remember the first day you met him, back when you were both 10 in one of your dad's fancy parties. "His father is important to the company, they are new in town, go play with him and be friends. Ok, Y/n?" Your mother had told you with a sweet smile on her face as you nodded. And the rest was history. Considering your circle mostly considered if the children of the other directors and business partners he fit in with all of you well. 

15 more minutes passed, and you could only worry more, you walked to the kitchen to get some water and placed your phone and whatever you had in your hand on the counter and get a glass of water, mid way of drinking it you heard the sound of your door open and close and you rushed to see. 

"Jungkook?" You called out his name and he looked at you wide eyes like a doe caught in headlights, an expression floated on his face which looked like remembrance. 

"You were with her weren't you?" The question flew from your mouth before you could filter it and you found that look filled with guilt on his face. You scoffed and folded your hands and started to walk off to your shared room when he said. 

"Why are you like this? She needed me okay!" Jungkook said. "What about me Jungkook? I, your girlfriend, needed you! And you went off with Minji" you said in frustration. "Don't say as if I was sleeping with her. She's still my good friend" he argued and you walked to the kitchen to grab your belongings and stepped inside the room he and you shared. 

You slid down to the ground as you closed the door. You still remember that day she walked into your life, Seo Minji. 

It was when you were 15. 

"Hey, isn't that the new kid?" Mingyu asked and you nodded. "Aw she's sitting alone" Jihyo said frowning, "Y/n go invite her here" Chan said, elbowing you. "Why me?" You asked, not like you were opposed to this aspect but you were simply curious. "You're good at this. I'm saying from experience" Jungkook said flashing his bunny smile, the smile that made your heart skip a beat, you would have done anything for that smile.

And you did, you invited Minji to your table, soon you found out her father actually worked for your father. "I feel strange sitting among you guys,I don't think I fit in" she said shyly. "Bullshit, we're all people" you daid ensuring her, "Yeah, there's nothing much different between you and us, welcome to our group" Jungkook said, flashing that sane smile at here.

It was truly where it all had started, Minji trying to get the boys in her clutches. She thought you and Jihyo didn't notice her accidental touches or her kawai and weak acts in front of them. While Chan could see through them, Mingyu and Jungkook never did. 

"Why didn't you two speak up when we were trying to get Mr Kim to invite Minji to the party?" Jungkook asked and Mingyu shook his head. You tightened your fist as Chan held it to ease you up. "She'd feel out of place," Jihyo tried to reason. The truth is you didn't want her to engage further with your circle. She already got Jungkook and Migyu to get her everything she might want. You watched as she used those two as her personal atm, a bat of her eyelashes and she had the 

"Gucci bag she wanted but couldn't get as she had to buy her grandmother's medicine" 

"Prada shoes cause she was sad her (nonexistent) fish died" 

You three tried to show them the real deal, but they refused as Minji never asked, they were willing to give her because she "deserved to be happy too". 

You smiled at yourself as you heard a knock on the door. "Babe, seriously why are you angry? I swear nothing happened, we just talked, Mingyu has been ignoring Minji and she felt alone, so she just needed someone to talk to and have a glass of wine with" He said. This always happened, One call and Jungkook would go running to her. 

You remember when you were 18, and your father and Jungkook's father declared that you and Jungkook would be engaged. You couldn't help your smile, you would be wed to your best friend to the person you fell for all those years ago. You were happy that now you could help him see reason, help him come out of Minji's clutches. But one look at his face, and you felt all your feelings drain away, his face was filled with disdain and he walked away. He didn't even consider that you could be the one for him for once. Did you expect something else? Did you expect he'll come happily to you and agree to this, you idiot. 

But, how could you? You lived to look into his doe eyes that shone bright, not for you, for Minji. You lived for that toothy smile that went brighter when Minji was there. No, they never were in a relationship, rather she never came into a relationship with either Jungkook or Mingyu. 

You still remember that day when you were 21, you had just graduated and were at your father's (soon to be yours) office working on some designs about a deal with your assitant Jimin and your now business associates Bangchan and Jungkook. No you two still spoke, you all were still friends and he acted like that evening never occured like he never broke your heart and crushed it into pieces. You remember Mingyu rushing into your cabin and hugging you tightly cheering "She said yes! She said yes! Minji said yes". You were stunned for a moment, you all were. "To what?" Chan managed to ask the man who was happy beyond bounds. "To marry me!" He said, "I'll go home, I just came to tell as I knew most of you are here, I've texted Jihyo, now I gotta tell my parents!" He said with his bright smile. "Congratulations" Jimin said to the departing man, who screamed a "thank you". All of your eyes shifted to Jungkook, his face motionless, teeth gritted, his fist so tight that his knuckles were turning white, a single tear left his eye. You shouldn't but you felt like your heart ached seeing him and you realised how down bad you were still for Jeon Jungkook. "Can you guys complete the rest without me? I'll just sign it" he asked. "Yeah, sure" you said and he walked away. The next day Jihyo had called you and told you, "of course she's marrying Mingyu, he's the heir, the elder child, Jungkook is second to his brother. How is he holding up?" You gave the exact words that you told Chan earlier that day "i don't know". The truth being, he never even read your texts, you didn't have the courage to meet him. 

You sighed at the banging sound from across the door. "If you need something tell me, if not please go to the other room". "Can you open the door once Y/n please. Please" he pleaded "Go away Jungkook please" you said, you wished you had said that to him that day two years ago. 3 days after Mingyu's proposal to Minji, you found Jungkook at your door, "can I come in" he had asked you in a broken voice. Your heart broke with his, you couldn't bear to see him like that. He came in to hug you, and you patted your head. 

"She loves him, I have to accept that. I don't know how you do it Y/n" he said, and your eyes went wide, tears stung them. "How do you even bear to look at my face much less comfort me after all I've done. How do you look beyond your feelings?" He asked. "Since when have you known?" You asked. "Since 3 days ago, when I saw the hurt in your eyes and realised how you have always been there." He said holding onto your cheek. Your brain told you to pull away, to push him away, to throw him out of the room, when his face inched closer to yours. You knew what he's doing, yet you didn't pay heed to the voice in your head. You focused on the doe eyes that looked into yours deep. Those arms that slid around your waist and pulled you close. You chose to focus on those lips that were attached to yours. You had thought, maybe this time he chose you, maybe this is it for you two. And it was, for the next few months. 

Jungkook and you walked hand in hand and stood beside Jimin and Chan along with Jihyo, on Mingyu and Minji's wedding day. Gyuji marriage was the talk of the town and things were finally looking up. Until 3 months into the wedding and you all were in the same party and seemingly Jungkook and Minji caught up, "you are still my best friend" Minji had told him, you tried your best not to drain a flute of wine on her. You didn't really mind much, ge did come back to you. He did love you. Things weren't so bad a few missed dates were seen and apologized and managed up until he missed your 2nd anniversary date and then your birthday. Once because Minji was sick and Mingyu was out of town and other because he mixed up the date after he had drunk a lot the day before with Minji and got absorbed at work.

But today was your last straw, you were done waiting around for him. You were done waiting for him to see you beneath Minji's shadow. You were done crying for him. You were done with him. So you texted Chan and Jimin, asking if their spare room was empty and if you could crash for sometime. Hence, you packed a small bag, took your phone and wallet and left the apartment. "Y/n! Y/n no. Please don't leave me over this. I'll be more attentive and careful. Y/n please." He pleaded. You might have stopped if this would have been any other day, but not today. Cause today you were done with Jeon Jungkook and the bullshit that comes with him.

_____________________________________

You don't stop, he lost you. He really lost you. He walks into the room you used to share. He found a book on the floor near the bed and a white and blue strip inside it. Jungkook was familiar with this strip or well, device, his eyes shifted to the words that were written on the little screen, 'positive'. "FUCK FUCK FUCK" Jungkook cursed as he felt like tearing off his hair, he did this to himself. 

Part 2: I loved you so bad

Idk if I posted this before but something that sticks out to me about the Nimona movie is the subway scene where they pull up to the station where Ambrosius and all the guards are waiting, and when Ballister lays eyes on him, the first thing he feels is fear

I tried exploring this in one of my fics but like-- does anyone realize how fucked up that is. That kind of immediate, knee jerk response does NOT go away easily. When I see my best friend, I feel happy and excited, sometimes annoyed if he did something to piss me off, sometimes nervous or guilty if I did something to piss him off, but you know what I never ever felt upon merely seeing his face? Immediate and intense fear for my life.

Imagine him trying to heal and every time he sees his boyfriend it's a jumpscare for months. Every time he sees his boyfriend he has to remind himself that he's not going to hurt him. EVERY TIME he looks at his boyfriend and for just a moment, sees a threat.

I hid the deeper analysis and comparison below a read-more because I'm sure not everyone cares, but it's especially interesting as a writer for both the comic and movie dynamics. Like both these couples have insane trauma to work through, but it is NOT even remotely the same kind of trauma.

Blackheart has to work through anger, bitterness, and years of betrayal, and while I'm certain Boldheart would get some of that, it wouldn't be nearly on the same level. His Ambrosius had a far more valid reason for attacking him, his Ambrosius apologized quickly and showed earnest remorse from the get-go. Blackheart was emotionally and physically betrayed out of nowhere for no good reason and he didn't get an apology or explanation for a decade and a half and his Ambrosius continued to fight with him that entire time.

At the same time, Blackheart was never afraid of his Ambrosius. I can reckon there was some fear after the initial incident, but it's not shown. He knows that Ambrosius won't kill him just like Ambrosius knows Blackheart won't kill him. Ambrosius isn't a real threat to him in the least, he's more just a nuisance that gets in the way of his plans because that's the silly little game they both agreed to play. Their whole lives for fifteen years was a conscious, weird, fucked up little game of cops and robbers and neither of them really took it seriously, both of them continued to try and protect each other (from Nimona and the Director)

Boldheart for all intents and purposes believed Ambrosius was trying to kill him. He nearly did kill him. He believed Ambrosius would hear him out, but he also believed Ambrosius was prepared to kill him if necessary.

In either case it would be tremendously difficult to trust the other person again. But the unique flavor of angst presented by the movie situation is just OOF

hi im putting all my asks in one post again. these are from like the past month and a half approx? some digimon thoughts some tmnt thoughts some art musings u know the usual

@waywardistics YAYY thank you so much for ordering! I'm glad it got to you & that you are enjoying it!

this is kind of a missive to everyone who ordered but: I am very nervous about pre-orders whenever I do them... nervous that not very many people will order, nervous that there will be supply chain or production dilemmas and I won't be able to get copies out to people in a timely fashion, nervous about having people's money but having an indeterminate amt of time where i have not yet "held up my part of the bargain" etc etc SO. THANK U GUYS...FOR ORDERING and being patient and im so glad it got to y'all

@seanonthemoon (idk why i cant tag u BUT) interesting... i gotta be honest I don't think abt the crests that much. i agree that they're very much like heres the "girl" crest heres the "nerd boy" crest etc to the point that it becomes almost meaningless. but i think what makes them even more meaningless to me, and is probably the reason they kind of designated girl/boy crests etc is that i think like the digivices they're toys and merchandise more than they are actual narrative tools LOL. I wouldve loved something with cody and mimi! theyre both so deeply empathetic and sensitive.. theres a lot they share but i think because they look so different on the surface it would make it difficult to market that merch...booo capitalism boooo toy marketing its all sexist bullshit at least here in the u.s. idk if japan is that different though.

I'm actually a little frustrated with how often 02 and 02 related media squanders cody in general lol. he feels like a parallel of izzy, joe, and TK(season 1 tk) while also being kind of none of those and suffering through lackluster characterization as a result... and then once ken joins the team it feels a little redundant. there's a couple cody-centric eps of 02 I remember really liking but then i think abt how he's been used since in like post-series content and 02:the beginning where they made him type on the computer even though obviously that's yoleis thing but because he had nothing else to do and aghh... my blood boils. i feel like the youngest but most serious anime achetype even at its bare bones is actually rly interesting idk why they don't play it up. UM. Once again my opinion is that he should be taller LOL and maybe they should play up his kendo martial arts honorable training stuff more idk. tallest + youngest + most serious just seems like a recipe for success for me. well. theres still time. and theres always fanfic.

THIS IS SO NICE TO SAY and not the first time someone has said it but i appreciate it everytime because i really admire the mm art style so much. It's like part of why I got really into the movie because I really recognized my own artistic sensibilities and aspirations in the way they stylized everything.

UM And i feel like since watching the movie and looking at all the concept art and making my own art i do feel like its only become more obvious how much my own art is lacking LOL LIKE when you see something that feels so similar I think the differences only become more stark. those artists are definitely on a different level than me. But it's nice to hear people say it doesn't look so different from their pov. thank u ^^

thank u!!!!!!! i love mundanity and naturalism... there's something so beautiful abt it to me lol... I feel like my anatomy needs work actually but ive been feeling better abt it this year so it's good to hear! thank you!

DLKGDSGDLALSNDF WAS IT TOO FAR..?? firstly, yeah I was thinking late teen/young adult ages for both of them ie 18-19ish, definitely not the age the kids are in the movie lol.

but also they arent DOING anything in that pic it is literally just a confrontation + some innuendo... I think teens should be allowed some less than subtle innuendo.. its like one of the top 3 classically teen pastimes...

this is such a funny ask to get because i feel like i haven't been able to do thin lineart until like. this past year or two maybe LOL. UM having a line-centric art job helped I think. I started on craig of the creek back in 2022 and thats a show where we spend a lot of time inking so I had a job where I was constantly moderating my line weight 40 hours a week every week for over a year. disappointingly, much of improvement is simply horrendous amounts of practice.

Here's a tip though: I think a lot of thin lineart boils down to confidence. I think instinctively we read thick, bold, fast lines as confident but theres actually a lot of obscuring you can do with a thick line. if you're not sure whether the nose on the face or a browline should be a little more left or a little more down you can hide that with a thick line and pretend its a shadow. or hide it with a bunch of quick lines and the eye can kind of approximate where looks best among the mass.. whereas a thin line is rly singular and stark and hides nothing, it needs to be precise. so anytime i know i want thin lineart i spend a LOT of time sketching, making sure i know exactly where i want my lines to go. so im not second guessing by the time im inking...

ok thats kind of a broad tip lol... here's one thats more applicable: IF POSSIBLE, lower your pressure sensitivity on your device. most devices have some way to edit your pressure sensitivity curve. I use a surface pro at home and this is what my pressure curve looks like most of the time.

When I work on a wacom it looks even more like a reverse L shape LOL. I'm naturally a really heavy-handed artist and I use a "light" or "hard" pressure curve to compensate for how hard I'm always pressing on the pen lol. if you're like me and you struggle with going too hard with the ink too fast... this will probably help a lot!

SFHASLDFH I LOVE THIS ASK this is like the type of question a person gets asked when chalk drawing on the sidewalk at recess LOL. but i understand because I've been struggling also for like. months. I think I'm finally starting to nail it down though so here's some of my observations.

[feel free to save this img but **please do not re-post it or share broadly**. my biggest fear in the world is to spend 30 min on some notes and become a widely proliferated art tutorial im not even kidding. i made it low contrast and difficult to read on purpose.]

my other tip is to just look at and study a lot of reference because that's all ive been doing. the tmnt are really cartoony so its difficult to use like actual anatomical reference unless ur going for that look BUT theres been so many adaptions in so many different styles that there's a real treasure trove of stuff to look at for how to simplify, stylize, and dissect these characters while keeping the recognizable essence. so theres lots to pull from.

If you want to expand further, it's also good to have 5) something sci-fi 6)something fantasy 7)something mundane/slice of life. a bedroom is a really good go-to. And of course some bgs can be two or more of these things at once.

I've definitely answered asks abt bg tips before but here's one specifically for if you want to do bg design for a job:

Your portfolio should probably have at least one of each of the following 1) an interior 2) an exterior 3) a cityscape 4) a nature scene. Just to cover kind of the basics of what you'd be asked to draw on any given project.

I actually feel like I don't have that many cityscrapes in my portfolio... this is something I'm gonna try to work on in the coming year LOL. OH ALSO. This is a very basic tip and people will tell you it all the time but its worth repeating: look up portfolio websites of artists who have the job you want. An easy way to do this is to go onto imdb for any cartoon or movie you like and to find the names listed as "bg/background designer" or whatever then just google that name +"art" or "animation" most artists have some public facing internet presence so it's not hard. spend time studying their work and hold those images in your head! it's a good way to get a good idea of what "industry standard" looks like and comparing ur own art to it... I know people sometimes get bummed comparing their art to others but if you can keep your head up lol.. it'll help you figure out what you need to work on!

.

ok thats all i have to say sorry for typing so much. happy new year everybody who read this far LMAO!!!!!

Fuck-it Friday

It is just past midnight where I reside, so that means its officially Friday. Normally I don't post till the sun is shining, but I am traveling today and visiting with family, so I won't have access to computer time till much much later.

Tagged by the always lovely @panbuckley, who posted a very steamy snippet. So I am going to continue this trend myself, or try to at least. Here is some very vague smut from NFL Buck.

Eddie is on the precipice of tipping over into orgasmic bliss, but a tight grip at the base of his cock, snaps him back. He cries out, "Buck please." Behind him with his own cock deep in Eddie's ass and lounging back on the dark blue sofa, Buck chuckles. Eddie feels the vibration of his delight more than he can hear it. "You didn't answer me." The younger man states. The hand not withholding Eddie's pleasure, hits the rewind button on a small black remote. The projected film in front of them reverses, pulling the figures of the players of the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings back to their pre-snap formations. "Two high safeties, 5 man rush, what should I call?" Buck repeats his earlier question with a swivel of his hips, grinding up against's Eddie's prostate. A whimper is pulled from him and Eddie squeezes his eyes shut, relishing the stimulating euphoria mixed with the pain of being held at the edge. The warm plastic of the remote is dropped on his thigh and Eddie can't hold down a moan of appreciation as Buck grips his hair, yanking his head back. "I told you to keep your eyes open. Don't want to miss anything, now do we?" He growls in his ear, nipping at the cartilage. Fuck. Having his eyes on the footage of the Chicago Bears was the whole reason Eddie joined Buck in the first place. He liked to help his boyfriend with his studies, give advice, and his own opinion on what the defense is doing and how Evan should respond. The reward for doing so, usually came after pages of a notebook had been filled and several hours of film had been watched. But the first game of the Ram's season with their new shiny quarterback was just days away and Buck was a ball of nervous energy. Working out did little to take the edge off. Video games with Christopher (and losing horribly) just added to the problem. Not even a pep talk from his personal trainer Owen Strand could help. So Buck turned to film hoping that being over prepared would ease his mind just a little. Eddie ventured into the screening room wanting to give him some relief and Evan immediately showed him how he could. A sloppy blowjob lead to Eddie's first orgasm. A seat in Buck's lap, his chest pressed tight against Eddie's back, and stretched tight around Buck's cock, has Eddie on the edge of another. He just needed to focus. Give Buck a play to beat the scheme. He needed to open his eyes and see past his pleasure. Just for a moment and then Eddie can finally fall into the inferno, with Buck just behind him. The sharp trill of Eddie's phone breaks his focus and has his eyes opening for all the wrong reasons.

WHAT' S A FTER LIKE ?! [ ♡ ] — have some common sense people !

tara carpenter— the heart ! tired of everyone, keeps having to make excuses for her friends and sister, she likes to give them little pep talks and thinks it's cute but it's mostly her going "go punch that motherfucker", thinks ethan is an idiot (affectionate).

quinn bailey— the brains ! actual group mom (unwillingly), makes the outfits and the tech ("yeah. i'm pretty, funny AND smart."), loves to tease ethan over his crush, makes video calls with richie to update him on ethan's love life (and convinces him to join the teasing, they definitely make bets about it).

mindy meeks-martin— the expert ! knows everything there is to know about scary movies AND superheroes, plans everything, obsessed with her girlfriend being a superhero, also thinks ethan is an idiot (derogatory).

arthur bennett— the matchmaker ! will mention he's the university's magazine editor in every single conversation, always in the middle of a crime scene, ethan supporter #3 (he just wants his friend to finally date someone).

author's note: sorry for the wait, i wanted to finish and post this like two weeks ago but then my "friend" decided to be a bitch and i had a nervous breakdown, i'm starting to feel better now so here it is.

richie will be mentioned like once but idk i kinda like him. and for some reason i see quinn as a chemistry genius.

why sk8rclown (pilby x infected) is OTP 💥💥

Sooo you read the title, so you know what this post is gonna be about!

P.S this is MY personal opinion and if you ship anything else that’s fine! But for the 0.5 percent of ppl who are here for the rare pair I present to you the ultimate explanation on why this ship works so so well

without further ado let’s discuss why the non-bi pan cattipillar and the emo chic dude form the 2010’s would totally kiss!

Ok first of all; what is their dynamic and why does it work so well?

well that actually depends on how you see them, but in general, I think their base dynamic is the scared and soft introvert x outgoing extrovert, as clearly seen by their dialogue and personality documented in the wiki, it’s clear that this dynamic seems to fit best.

It even shows in their limited interactions with one another, yes, I know there’s only technically 3 interactions so far (subject to change in the future) BUT even then you can clearly see the chemistry that bounces off.

This and the other dynamic being old fashioned x high tech of some sorts, example:

Infected: "I c4nT wA1t tO r41Se My Fi5HinG Stat5!! B)"

"Golly.. fishing.. stat?

"That sounds confusing.."

Infected: "Th4t5 My aw3sOM3 Vid30 g4mE!!"

Infected: "I'm TrY1nG to G3t a G0lD3n TenCH!!"

"All those video games and whatnot has got me so confused.."

On top of that, their mindset is actually quite parallel with each other; infected is stuck in the 2010’s, while Pilby is stuck in their old fashioned ways (idk what time era though help)

plus, infected seems like the type of guy to really have a deep care for the ones he loves, with words of affirmation and physical presents and whatnot, and pilby, being a guy with little self esteem and belittles themselves, while also showing comfort in reassuring words, would definitely either get flustered at infecteds compliments or crash like a windows explorers page and go💥💥💥 /hj plus, I’d like to think that he’d get pilby flowers (despite his allergy) just to please them and see them smile super brightly (although pilby would immediately stare in horror at infecteds puffed up face (allergies ammiright)/jjjj

And then there’s my interpretations, obviously this ain’t gonna apply for everyone but I personally believe that infected is the type to show the most affection and also be the caring type while pilby is the two stud tall guy who is a nervous wreck and shrivels at the mention of going out to a party, LOL, ok but no seriously soft caring extrovert and scared little rat dynamic save me save me dynamic.

alright lh, that’s all I have for this section, onto the next!

I think the reason why pilby x infected always stuck out to me is just the thought of it, like wow! A 2010s emo chick and a clown! Sounds like something random but trust me, it works, think of it like the emo and bright pink chic dynamic, just with a few tweaks.

this and also my interpretations of the characters (Alr explained in the previous section) it’s just such a unique take, and I’m a fucking sucker for unique ship types.

heck even their designs actually compliment each other, pilby is soft and round, and infected is bright and bold.

Anyways, more ramblings uhm, I feel like infected, despite being the caring one, would also be reckless, often time getting into scuffs, which worries pilby and brings out his more firm and true side, like a wife having to deal with their husbands shenanigans. I feel like because of that pilby can take the opportunity to show their more truer side, the side that’s not always sad and sighing about their mama, the side that is happy for the little things in life and always takes the time to admire the surroundings, something that infected takes for granted sometimes due to their hyperactive and fast nature, and that alone, would teach infected to slow down as well, to take in the scenery around him sometimes, the warm sun, the falling leaves, the chirps of the birds, flying high into the clouds, setting off on an adventure, it’s the little things that count the most.

and in return, pilby would learn that not everything is all rainy clouds, that they sometimes does need a few push’s outside of their comfort zone to enjoy a few things. Maybe a little skating wouldn’t hurt (or will, depends if pilby falls when infected let’s them go) or saying hi to split every once in a while can actually lead to some funny conversations and thereafter, thoughtful moments to cherish for years to come possibly.

it’s an effect, they rub off each other, they stuck together and learned new things about and for their life, even if it’s little or silly, it’s worth everything to them, and it’s worth it because they have each other. When pilby is with infected, there’s nothing to worry, and when infected is with pilby, he can relax for once and actually chill, seeing the comfort of being simplistic.

And I think that’s fucking beautiful, I think that’s what struck me hard for this ship, it’s so loving and touching ai feel like I could cry just writing this. It’s truly the deep realizations that make these types of silly posts worth writing.

anyways im Uhhhhh getting TOO autistic here.and I have limited time, BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK ON WHY SK8RCLOWN IS MY OTP AND MAYBE WHY U SHOULD SHIP THEM IDK I JUST REALLY WANTED TO RAMBLE ABOUT THE YAOI DUO. Anyways uhhh bye ^_^

Showing the Ropes

AN: Still trying to catch up😭 I’m just like that bitch with his rock fr. Finish one fic post it, start the next one & it’s already the next day. Post THAT fic & you’re still the same amount behind because that’s how the passage of time works. Through gritted teeth: I love being a writer. In all honesty tho, I love tickletober it’s just a very shit time in my life & this is how I cope. This fic came out way better than I expected, just cause I’m not real big on writing for Mike. Idk what it is about him, but I always feel iffy about his characterization. But this is just a really cute & silly moment between him, El & Nancy.

Mike didn't even know how long they'd been going at it, but he knew one thing for sure: he was going to die. They were going to kill him right then and there.

Nancy was walking through the living room while they were watching a movie and she noticed the way El poked and scribbled lazily at his sides and tummy, eliciting the occasional choked off giggle.

"I can give you some pointers if you want," she had offered out of the blue, catching the both of them extremely off guard. Mike was rightfully mortified while El cocked her head like a curious puppy.

"Pointers?" she questioned, unsure what the older teen could mean. Nancy rolled her eyes fondly and made her way to the couch.

"No, go away! Don't you have a paper to write?" he snarked. El elbowed him in the ribs.

"Mike, don't be rude," she softly scolded. Nancy smirked.

"He's just cranky 'cause he knows what's coming," she teased. Mike glared at her, long and hard. They stared at each other, locked in a stalemate. In the end, it was Mike who broke it off, trying to make a run for it. She easily caught him by the back of his shirt, yanking him back, "God, you're so predictable."

"Nancy, let go! I'm serious!"

"That's the problem, isn't it? He's always so serious," she joked, shooting a wink towards El as she wrestled her brother back on the couch. She managed to pin him underneath her, Mike's constant struggling making it a little difficult for her. He wasn't as small as he used to be, now he was all gangly limbs and much taller.

"Wanna help?" Nancy asked, and El's face lit up.

"I'd love to!"

"Nohoho El don't! She's evil!" he protested, a few nervous giggles slipping past his lips.

"She's nice to me," she reasoned as she helped hold Mike's arms above his head. Nancy gave her a thumbs up before turning "serious."

"Any time you need to keep him in check, just do this," she said matter of factly. El nodded, listening intently. Mike shook his head, knowing where she was going with this.

"Nancy, don't! Whatever it is I did I'm sorry!" he cried, sure she was doing this as some kind of revenge for something he must've done. That's how it usually went, anyway. Nancy laughed in amusement.

"See? We haven't even touched him and he's already begging," she teased and El giggled along, making him blush. "But you didn't do anything- this time. Just thought El could use a leg up in your tickle fights." The comment caused a faint dusting of pink to grace El's cheeks as well.

"She does fine! Don't you El?" he asked, hoping for his girlfriend to be on his side. She just smiled at him and shrugged.

"I kinda wanna see where she's going with this. And just like that, his fate was sealed.

Nancy rolled up his shirt, anticipatory giggled building up in his chest. She made a show of drawing in a deep breath before bending down to blow a raspberry on his bare belly. Mike was immediately launched into a bout of hysterics. Unable to protect himself, he chose instead to hide his face behind his outstretched arm.

Nancy blew a few more raspberries, shaking her head and growling playfully. Mike screeched, head tossed back as loud, carefree laughter burst free from his throat. He tried to plead for mercy, but every attempt at speech was lost to an incoherent giggling babble.

Nancy pulled away to give him a breather, though it didn't last nearly as long as Mike had hoped.

"Your turn!" Nancy's chipper voice sent a strong sense of dread through his entire body. El's grin overtook her features as she swapped places with Nancy. Her eyes were alight with mischief, scanning her prey carefully.

"So I take a deep breath and just... blow?" El asked. Nancy nodded in encouragement.

"Yeah, but you need to do it directly on the skin. Like this," Nancy demonstrated again, scooping her little brother in her arms unexpectedly and blew a raspberry on his neck, making him scream much too close to her ears, but that was her own doing.

El giggled, taking the advice to heart and putting it to good use.

Mike wasn't sure how he was still alive, in all honesty.

[phantomoftheorpheum]

Okay, I got a chance to watch the School Spirits season finale (1x08) and I have so many thoughts and feelings! As usual, I'll be placing them below a cut to shorten the post & to hide spoilers.

Okay. Okay. I literally just finished watching so this is me processing in real time. idk how I feel. Because there are some things I like a lot, but others that I just... I'm not sure. I haven't been convinced.

Let's start with this- I don't love that the entire money/blackmailing scheme seemingly means nothing?? I thought it would at least factor in a little, since we spent so much time on it. The only way it ties in now is that Janet is using the money Nicole stole to get away. I think it's a bit unsatisfying that we get to uncover all these clues & 90% of them just go completely out of the window.

I also don't love that Maddie's "death" ties entirely back to Mr. Martin & Janet. While, obviously, there are still some questions there as to precisely what is happening, I think I would have liked this plot point a lot more if an actual living person "killed" Maddie for a real world reason, but it didn't actually kill her, but the vulnerability of the moment/being injured is what allowed Janet & Maddie to essentially switch places. Then what happened to Maddie has ties to both life & death. And there's still a person out there who did attack/attempt to kill her (and also adds a dimension of them only having some of the info & not understanding what's going on), but there's also this whole supernatural situation going on.

I'm super conflicted about the Janet situation as a whole. While it definitely opens up some interesting possibilities for season 2 (pls, I need it), I am always nervous about anything that potentially makes death less permanent. I've said before that I don't want Maddie to be alive & even with this revelation, I'm not sold on a potential conclusion that would end with her alive/back in control of her body. Obviously this would be a distinct possibility, since it's unclear exactly how/what happened with Janet/Maddie and presumably it could be reversed. I know everyone will feel differently about this, but I personally tend to feel emotionally cheated when I'm asked to invest in a character's death and then it's walked back. So much of this season has revolved around emotionally plucking at our heartstrings, either by having characters hope that Maddie's alive when the audience has been told she's dead (like with her mom & Nicole), or with a character like Simon who is processing knowing she's "dead" & grieving her loss, that I wouldn't want to feel like those scenes exist to get an emotional response from the audience, not because they have weight long term in the story. Like I said, everyone has a different tolerance level for this, and I know mine is pretty low. That being said, I am staying cautiously optimistic that this could go in a really interesting/satisfying direction, if handled delicately.

Ngl, I wish we'd gotten more ghosts in the most recent episode. I just love the ghost characters & would have liked a little more time with them. I also now feel like I need to rewatch & try to figure out exactly when Rhonda became suspicious/found the info on Mr. Martin. I know we saw her in the fallout shelter earlier, but I'm wondering if her "I wanna cross over" thing was entirely an act, or if she only found out later.

Mr. Martin. Okay, what exactly is he trying to accomplish & what abilities does he have? He somehow managed to lock Charley, Wally, & Rhonda up. He's able to make notes and collect objects, even when he isn't interacting with them. Maddie saw him before anything happened to her. It doesn't seem like he and Janet planned what happened to Maddie (at least not in this way) because he yells at Janet not to move when they are interrupted by Maddie and Janet had been yelling for help. Why are there no notes on Janet? What does the "thinning" note that Wally found mean? Thin the ghosts or thin the veil? How is he trying to use this?So many questions here.

I think, given a little time, Simon has to come back around on the idea that Maddie can't just be a hallucination pretty quickly because she gave him info/led him places, etc. that he would never have been able to puzzle out without her help. One of many examples- if Maddie isn't "real" he wouldn't have known Mr. Anderson's phone code. He got that info from Maddie who got it from Dawn.

I actually found myself warming up to Xavier (as a character, not ever again as a love interest for Maddie, to be clear) more than anticipated in this episode. He has made some shitty mistakes, but he does seem to be trying and I have to give him credit for that. Plus, the scene of him, Nicole, & Claire in the truck arguing was genuinely pretty fun.

Loose threads: I know I've brought it up before, but wtf is going on with the social media thing? Was it really accidentally Mrs. Nears? Was it Janet? But how could it be Janet, she didn't have Maddie's phone (I guess she could know people's log ins like Dawn, but why would she do that?), and Janet doesn't actually gain anything by making people think Maddie is alive if she's staying hidden & trying to run away in Maddie's body. I assume the reason she didn't leave town sooner was because she didn't have the means? It's hard to speculate too much about Janet, since we don't know anything about her personality/wants/involvement with Mr. Martin/moral compass/etc.

I'm not surprised that possession became a plot point (Dawn talking about it just seemed too important for it to not), but I wasn't sure if they were going to dive into that with this season or if that was set up for season 2. Obviously it came into play for season 1. Like I said, still processing that.

I do really hope we get a season 2. While there are some elements (particularly the stuff surrounding how permanent death is) that make me a little nervous about things going off the rails, there are so many interesting things (and characters) they could explore & I want to see where they take things. There's a lot of set up for season 2, but also a lot of the mystery/whodunnit elements are currently wrapped up (since we see the scene of Maddie's.... I'm gonna keep calling it "death" because I don't know what else to call it), it feels like we might need another external mystery for season 2.

Anyway, definitely still processing things. More thoughts to come in a bit! Also I still adore Wally & need him to be happy.

I NEVER EXISTED | 희승

p: non idol!heeseung x fem!oc reader g: angst, lovers to strangers (idk if that's even a trope but idgaf 😁)

warnings! break up, cheating, rumors, cursing

note: so this would be like a complete turn to my other Heeseung post Attention, this is connected to that story and it marks like the end of the relationship between Haeun and Heeseung. Enjoy ;)

This writing doesn't belong to the nwjns series!!

Also this is inspired by the song "I never existed" by Chase Atlantic!

I never expected to feel so happy with someone like Haeun, she was so sweet and loving with me that I felt as if I had met the love of my life. Although Haeun didn't want us to be public, I understood and didn't think much of it because maybe she didn't feel prepared to let everybody know about our relationship but there was something that made me feel strange, the fact that Haeun would ignore my existence whenever we were at school. I didn't expect her to act as a couple if we weren't public but I didn't expect her to ignore me either.

The other day at school I heard some girls talking about Haeun being in a relationship, with someone that wasn't me. I decided to ignore them because after all they were just rumors and because they didn't know about me and her, right?

But to be honest, those words wouldn't go out of my mind to the point I'd start to overanalyze every single thing Haeun said or did. Was I toxic for that? I wished I wasn't, but sadly I felt as if I couldn't fully trust Haeun after hearing those rumors, I felt somewhat influenced by them. I thought that I should talk to her about it and clear every thought or wrong idea, we shouldn't hide anything from us.

Sitting on the couch beside Haeun I was using my phone, and thought of that moment as the perfect one to ask her about the rumors that I had heard some weeks ago "Haeun?" "Mhm" I called her but she didn't look up from her phone, I didn't want to look toxic so I just continued with what I wanted to say "You know, some weeks ago I heard a rumor... About you dating someone else, that wasn't me..." I said and instantly felt Haeun snapping her head up to look at me, I could feel her tense too. I saw that she started to look around, avoiding my eyes "Where did you hear that?" Haeun asked, slightly nervous if you asked me "I heard it while I was walking down the school hallways, I don't remember who said that but I just remember that someone said it. I'm hoping that isn't true" I said and Haeun played with her hoodie's sleeves, she sighed and looked at me. She held my hands and looked at me "Well, that isn't true... I couldn't date anyone else but you, Hee" Haeun reached her hand up to my cheek and kissed me softly, making me forget about what we were talking about as she pulled me in for not one or two but many kisses. Back then, I believed Haeun's words because I trusted her.

Two weeks after our little conversation about those rumors, I started to think about them even more frequently; due to Haeun's actions. Suddenly we stopped hanging out so much as Haeun said she had homework or she had set up meetings with her friends, strange. Or when Haeun wouldn't answer to my calling while she's on the phone, texting a "friend", who apparently makes her smile a lot. I started to get suspicious by her actions, were the rumors true? Because if they were, that'd explain the reason why she didn't want us to go public. I noticed the distancing between me and Haeun since then, she wouldn't text me more than a good morning text or a I'm busy text if I asked her to go out or just call her. I couldn't even see Haeun as we could never "match" with our schedules, I wouldn't even see her at school anymore even if when I saw her she wouldn't even look at me because at school as if never existed for her.

"Hey Haeun, wanna go out to grab something after school?" 16:08

"Hello, no I'm busy" 16:49

"oh okay, we'll go out another day :)" 16:52 ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤseen

That's how our conversations would go, we wouldn't call each other from stupid cheesy nicknames but our names. Haeun wasn't texting me anymore either but when she replied she took some time to answer and wouldn't even try to keep the conversation going. I was confused and annoyed at her, even angry. Angry because Haeun wouldn't text me and she wouldn't even talk to me, I started to doubt if we were still together. I felt as if my trust in her had disappeared completely because Haeun didn't even care if I told her something, I'd be welcomed with a seen if I decided to text her and I was sick and tired of it. I was wondering if she still loved me.

Yesterday I saw Haeun in the school hallways with Yeonhan, he was our senior and they were walking together. I saw Haeun with her arm locked with his and when she saw me, she only smiled and I swore I would curse her in her face for that. Didn't I exist to Haeun for her to ignore me like that? I thought we were together... I guess we weren't. That told me the probably reason why she would act as if we didn't know each other in public.

I received a text from one of the girls of my class, I didn't know her but she texted me to talk about Haeun and that might be the reason why I didn't question or care much about their identity. The girl knew about me and Haeun, and that Haeun was with someone else. She told me that Haeun was dating this boy named Yeonhan and that she didn't want to be public because of him and because Yeonhan didn't know that I was with Haeun. I was angry and disappointed, how could this happen? I never saw Haeun as this type of girl, if I knew about this I wouldn't have dated her. Why did I put my eye on someone like her? Did this mean that she never felt anything for me?

Knocking on her apartment's door I waited for Haeun to appear, because I wanted an explanation from her. I waited and when the door opened I could only see Yeonhan in front of me, hilarious because she was "busy", apparently he was the one who kept her busy for me not to come over when I asked her if I could do so.

"Uh Heeseung?" He asked, weirded out by my presence "Who is it Yeon?" I heard a female voice ask before going beside Yeonhan and looking in front of her, it was Haeun the owner of the voice; of course "So Yeon huh?" I asked, chuckling dryly "What are you doing here Heeseung?" Haeun asked, sounding slightly annoyed, her tone sounding amusing to me "Why are you asking? I'm your boyfriend, you shouldn't ask me that" I said, knowing well of the presence of Yeonhan beside her "Your boyfriend, Haeun? What is he talking about? I'm your boyfriend" Yeonhan said, looking at Haeun. I was enjoying this deep inside, knowing that Yeonhan didn't know about me was funny because Haeun never told him. "L-let me explain" she panicked and I laughed, making the couple in front of me look at me "Let me explain, Haeun" I said and Haeun swallowed hard "Yeonhan... I think you didn't know but I was in a relationship with Haeun until... Five minutes ago? I don't know because if I knew she was with you, I wouldn't have ever dated her" "Oh is that it, Haeun?" Yeonhan asked Haeun, and she looked away. I was loving this so much, even if it sounded evil, she deserved this "I think I should leave you two to talk about this, after all I'm not your boyfriend anymore Haeun, right?" I asked, and took a peek at her face. I tattooed her expression deep in my mind. I looked up and sighed, I turned around to walk away. "Does this explain why you didn't want us to be public and why you ignored me at school?!" I shouted as I walked away, smirking as I saw her and Yeonhan still standing in her door. On my way back home I thought about all of this situation, was this our final break up? Because I felt as if we had broken up a long while ago.

"Heeseung, can we talk? Please"

"Oh now is when you text me? After you had fucked everything up?"

"I know but I'm sorry, please let's meet to talk this out"

"Talk about what? Just go on and tell them, all of your friends and Yeonhan, that I never existed, as you did before when we were "together"

Maybe that could help you look less worse than you are right now if someone knew about what you did with me and Yeonhan"

"I'm so sorry Hee"

"You shouldn't be calling me that and you know it, Haeun"

"I know, I'm sorry"

"I don't care if you're sorry or not, what's done is done. I hope I never see you again"

I laughed at the way Haeun was looking for my forgiveness after what she had done, she could have at least used a quarter of her brain before and could've told me about this and be sorry. But right now? It's useless. The word "us" with her is useless, because there wasn't an us between me and her not when there was someone else already.

Pasts and futures

Summary: Wedding preparations aren't easy, but Heaven has an idea and with some luck, Eleanor will agree.

A/N: This is for @call-sign-shark's celebration and I'm nervous about posting it, idk, Heaven is such an amazing character idk if I'm able to keep up with her 😅 Anyways, I'm glad to put our OCs officially together and just had to choose this gif bc I remember thinking it was very cute Tommy was Arthur's best man! And bc finding good Arthur gifs in the search tool is so hard omg

Ever since she became part of the Shelby family, Heaven didn't attend Thomas' house many times, why would she? She could feel his eyes burning with hatred every time they met and of course, the feeling was mutual.

Blue against blue, like freezing ice and the hottest type of fire, powerforces trying to annul each other.

However, with Arthur's wedding proposal, she needed to put the hate aside for practical reasons, at least temporarily. After doing a quick research for assembly rooms, she realized the party needed to be hosted somewhere else, those excessively large and overpriced places seemed too far from her reality - not that she couldn't afford them - but they lacked the intimacy and familiarity she craved for one of the most important days of her life.

Hers and Arthur's house also didn't feel quite right, it was miles away from the church the ceremony would be settled and honestly, their home was their safe place and even if only family and friends would be invited, Heaven had no wish to see her place crowded with people.

So she made a decision and only hoped Eleanor would agree.

At the living room of the Arrow house, a maid took Heaven's overcoat, revealing a reddish skirt and a shirt she had stolen from Arthur, that even properly tucked in, looked too large for her small figure.

"I'll call Mrs. Shelby," the maid said, "may I offer you something to drink?"

"Oh, tea would be nice,"

As the servant left, Heaven sat down on the sofa, inspecting the details of the place, the wooden furniture, fancy looking carpets, green wallpaper and many paintings and pictures.

A particular portrait made her smile, not because of the image itself but for the meaning behind it, Tommy in the betting shop looking much younger, in a golden typically feminine frame, it obviously belonged to her sister-in-law. She thought it was cute that someone managed to love the cretin.

Looking in the opposite direction, she was surprised by a tiny girl semily hidden behind the other sofa, all she could see was a pair of blue eyes under thin eyebrows and a bang.

"Hello, love," she greeted.

"You're Heaven," the little girl affirmed.

"I am,"

"Katie told me,"

"Yeah? And what's your name?" she smiled at the mention of John's daughter.

"Rose,"

"Has anyone ever said you look exactly like your dad?"

"Yeah, aunt Linda, all the time-"

Heaven pursed her lips, looking down at her own hands, a string of jealousy burnt on her at the mention of Arthur's past wife. She wondered what Linda's relationship with the Shelby family was like, for the better or the worse, she wasn't able to erase the catholic woman from people's minds.

But she could from Arthur's and that was all that currently mattered.

"And aunt Pol, and aunt Esme, and aunt Lizzie, and uncle John-"

As the list went on, she observed the little girl's mannerisms. If Rose's face was like her dad's, every movement came from her mother. She couldn't help but imagine what hers and Arthur's child would be like someday.

"I see you met Aunt Heaven," Eleanor's voice cut down the child's, "but the adults are gonna talk now, why don't you go find your sister?"

Heaven's eyes widened meeting Eleanor, her long curly hair was gone, now laying above her shoulders. With a pout, Rose left the room. Sitting on the sofa across Heaven's, she sighed.

"Sorry I took so long, there was a call from the institute,"

"You look… different," the french one pointed out.

"In a bad way?"

"No, it's fashionable,"

Offering Ellie a small smile, Heaven decided not to mention the gallows, she knew that was the reason for the new haircut but months had gone by, it was to forget and open space for something new, hopefully something better.

"Hm, Frances didn't offer you a drink?"

"The maid? She did,"

"Good then, how are you? How is Arthur?"

"That's what I wanted to tell you," proudly, Heaven showed off her wedding ring.

"No, I don't believe this!" Ellie giggled, "Hev! This is lovely! It's so good to see old Arthur back,"

The bride's smile slightly dropped, old Arthur was a man she didn't know. Surely, she knew the man she was going to marry, she saw him happy and cheerful as much as broken and miserable, but she didn't know what he was like before being broken.

"Did you choose a dress already?" Eleanor asked.

"Ellie," Heaven sighed, "what was old Arthur like?"

Tommy's wife froze, pressing her lips together, "Hmm, he was the way you know him now, happy," she gulped, "Heaven, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-"

"No, I wanna know,"

"Well, I won't lie to you, he was never- hm- normal, when I met him he was already fucked in the head, it got worse when he went to France, worse when moved to London in 1922, then he met Linda and got better, then got worse again and then he met you," Eleanor messily explained, "but he was always a boxer and always fond of blondes,"

Heaven giggled, heart swirling with love as she imagined a young Arthur - exactly like the army picture she had at home - practicing the sport with his brothers.

"He always had a soft heart and loved babies, got all emotional when Tommy and I had Rose and moved out Watery Lane, I knew you could do it, brother," Ellie mimicked Arthur's voice, "anyways, I'm sure this is not what you came here for,"

"Oh, yeah, I wanted to ask a favor," she explained, "I already decided the chapel Arthur and I will marry, but the place for the party it's been more difficult so I thought that if you and Thomas agree, we could host the party here,"

With a sly smirk, Eleanor asked, "Will Arthur tell him of the wedding or should I?"

"Maybe he'll react better if you do it,"

"Hmm, I'll see what I can do, but if depends on me, you'll have the greatest wedding party the Shelbys have ever seen,"

Wanna add my input on the convo of how much of Songbird borg opposed to organic. The main question seems to be about her legs. Two reasons I think they’re organic. One, at the end of her path in Fierstarter when she jumps out of the gate, she hits her ankle, cries out in pain, (and comments about it) then limps to the van. So, she can most definitely feel pain there. Second, during the ride to NCX during The Killing Moon, V has to give her a booster and does so via her right leg. It would make sense that they’d have to be organic for the medicine to work because I doubt they would administer it to an area of cyberware. My natural assumption is that any implants in them would be to help support the weight of the chrome. Now about the rest of her body, it’s kinda tricky because some stuff (like her arms and torso) are most definitely cyberware, so her head is my main interest. We can literally see the plastic covering her chest/torso, meaning she has no skin left in the stomach area either. You can also see the plate covering her neck, meaning she likely doesn’t have skin, but notice how it’s the thickest layer of cyberware? I’m thinking maybe because there’s nerves in her neck. Technically, we know she HAS to have a brain because she’s not an ai, but it’s very likely she has some sort of spine left or bone/tissue around that area which is why it’s so heavily protected. Truth be told, I have absolutely no idea what that little metal plate on her chin does, it’s probably irrelevant but maybe you have an idea? Same goes for the metal sternum, idk why it couldn’t be full plated like the rest of her chest area. All I know is it looks badass lol. As for her face, her ears are gone but she can still hear just fine, meaning her eardrums have to be intact, or if not, there’s something else supporting her hearing. I really REALLY hope her face and cheeks are still organic, her neck isn’t because we can see the plate covering the chrome from behind but truly I hope she can still feel things in that area. She does lean her cheek against V’s hand in that one scene so every bone in my body wants to say that’s because she’s touch starved. (But we all know she is regardless lol.) So that really just leaves the question of where liquid goes when she drinks it. Champagne at the party, water at the spaceport. She’s gotta have SOME sort of throat or throat system to be able to swallow but where the hell does it end up? I HIGHLY doubt you could squeeze any internal organs in that chrome but surely it’s gotta go somewhere. I overthink lol. Anyway, that’s all I can pull from it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (I’d love to include images but the post is so long it won’t let me lol) Not checking for grammar issues on this one

This is how it feels digging even deeper into topic of Songbird's body😭💙 let's gooo

First - legs. I totally forgot to mention the booster scene, but you're so right!! It struck me too that V applies it specifically in her leg. Another confirmation that they have to organic.

Secondly - I really have no idea what these metal pieces on her chin and sternum serve for. I'm gonna stick with my 'protecting from electromagnetic fields' theory for the lack of better alternative. And it does indeed look badass😌

Third - her face. Weird metaphor perhaps, but it kinda seems to be in 'a frame' of all this chrome? Also, girl still has hair so I'd say it was left untouched by the surgeons.

Also, come on! there's a reason why she leans with her cheek when V touches her. If she didn't feel anything at all, why would she do it??

Fourth - her throat has to work somehow. Maybe it's this thicker part that serves as its replacment?

She may be mostly chrome, but she's still human. Water has to be somehow processed and distributed to rest of her organic body. She wouldn't be alive otherwise. IT HAS TO WORK SOMEHOW.

Okay, now put your tinfoil hat on.

So Mi has to have some nervous connections going from her head throughthe upper body, cause how in the hell would she still feel her legs otherwise?? Also, the mechanical parts have to connected somehow to her brain too if she's able to move them. My guess it's the wires I selected with red colour.

This little engine on her back intrigues me though. These are completely different wires going somewhere inside her body. Also, it changes colour when she connects to the Blackwall. Is this some power junction? Or a generator? Maybe that's where energy from food/water is processed and distributed to her organic parts of the body?

One more thing - there's no way Songbird doesn't have a brain (it sounds quite funny tho XD). She wouldn't be alive otherwise. Remember, even an engram stored on a Relic requires an organic brain to function.

Thoughts about the monsters/entities and how they work, under the cut, CW for talks of death, murder, blood, etc /pos

Coilheads:

- I think the way they kill has to do with the victim's blood. Like, a coil touches a victim and then their head blows off and they get a coil, and also their forearms disappear

- I think they like blood bend or something, they increase the pressure of your blood until it blows you up at your weak points, which, idk how pressure and anatomy work, but that being your neck and elbows would make sense to me

- From there coils manually place/insert the coil into their victim's neck, and I think through this way the victim will eventually turn into a coilhead

- Insides hollowing out, skin turning to metal, growing in size. I have no intelligent reasoning for this I just think that's how they make more coils tee hee

Bracken:

- I don't think the brackens are supposed to be indoors, and I think if they were outside they would "heal" for lack of a better word

- I like plants but I don't know much about non succulents, but I know some plants get darker when they don't get enough sunlight, which I think is what's up with brackens (additionally succulents turn white which could explain their eyes, I mean humans eyes are mostly water like how succulents are basically plants that are mostly water (simplification))

- As such I think that brackens that are outdoors will eventually change colors, their skin ranging from pastel pink and sand beige to chicken nugget tan and peach to rich rose red and chestnut brown

- I think their leaves could also change, like some could resemble oaks, and some could resemble echeverias, and pine needles (HEDGEHOGCORE <3) and so on and so forth

- Also, I think they would start growing flowers and/or fruits, and thorns/horns like how Giants have since the two are related

- I think most brackens are fungal in nature, considering they decompose incredibly quickly and sort of turn into spores it seems when they die. I think too if these spores land on something organic that organic thing could potentially turn into a Bracken (this is actually the lore for an OC I have!!! I should make a post abt them sometime)

Nutcrackers:

- I think the Nutcracker's "parasite" is actually its real body, and that when places in the large nutcracker body the tendrils and eye act as, basically, the body's nervous system. The tendrils spread throughout the limbs and slowly seep/spread through the metal and wood, so they can actually feel through the outside of their body

- As such I think they would bleed a little if they got cut, but it would take a long time for the blood to get overwhelming AND to close the wound

- it's possible to take the "parasite" out of the body but they have to do it themselves or risk snapping tendrils and bleeding to death, like snails (I think?) but once they disconnect they can get out

- I think once they're out they're deaf, mute, can't eat, still have their shitty vision, etc (imagine,,, imagine hold him gently... hold him like hamburger, perhaps)

- Also that thingy is totally related to the thingy the Jester is those is fambly

Spore Lizards:

- They are/were domesticated, ouppy dougy

- They're actually super smart like dogs or dolphins

- Capybara of the LC world, meaning they can befriend anything despite being super anxious

- Work like cats, they like staying with other animals without interacting, and the more you do it the more it trusts you you know??? Aminal <3

Giants:

- Not much to say aside from I think they could understand Brackens. Maybe they couldn't talk back but they could probably understand them mostly off of body language because Brackens are SO cats you know?

Anyways, I'm super soupy now and should go to bed, enjoy eating these thoughts if you read this far <3

Rant away my friend

apparently a few people wanted me to vent about the kirby novels so head in hands ig i'm gonna go for it LMAO (this is inspired directly from @desultory-novice 's posts about it)

ALSO IM SORRY IF THIS IS SO DISORGANIZED gonna be honest i forgot a good half of what i wanted to talk about. But Anyways. please note that all of this is entirely My opinion you ofc dont need to agree and despite everything i actually really love and enjoy the kirby novels a lot !!

so okay after hearing her talk about the reason we're likely not getting a magolor epilogue novel and knowing takase's erm.... Infamous reputation regarding how she handles magolor's character that had me thinking a lot and. Wow i'm kind of Really nervous for how this magoland novel will turn out actually because a lot is kind of at stake here when you think about it

takase will either be forced to actually develop magolor's character, or she will just completely scrap everything that happened earlier, remove any mentions of the epilogue and go straight back to square 1 where magolor is -- once again -- the villain of the story. Don't get me wrong i like evil magolor a lot lol i think if done right it can be a very enjoyable portrayal of his character. but there's only So many times you can make a character the antagonist before it just gets straight up exhausting y'know

i think it's ESPECIALLY different in terms of magoland. This might be a cold take idk lmao but merry magoland isn't just some wacky little theme park magolor created out of the blue for no reason. It's something that signifies and sets in stone how he's a changed character. Merry magoland is magolor's dream he's had for a really long time by his own words and truly shows that all he's wanted to do is make people have fun and be happy. if you make him the antagonist in that, that completely just fucks up Everything relating to his character and renders that entire development null and also invalidates all the hardships he's gone through to make that happen

i do think takase's portrayal of magolor is fun! i do enjoy it and i do appreciate how he has a hard time communicating his desires and showing true friendship. i think that's important. one of magolor's most significant flaws is how he has a hard time understanding how friendship is supposed to work and what to do when you have friends. but maybe instead of making him the villain. Over and over and over again you could idk... have him Learn?? and actually Develop from his issues??? i know waddle dee is a completely separate character but for the sake of comparing to another person who has gone through a huge amount of development in the novels -- why can't magolor do the same? why is it constantly so insistent that he be the one causing all the problems for no reason other than haha it's funny (in most cases at least. i know dreamy gear was different and i will give it a giant shoutout for that)

i'm so sorry if i sound too harsh here i literally don't know how to word it otherwise lol i think it's important to emphasize that despite everything i do like seeing magolor's character in the novels. but it just gets to a point where it's Grating to me at times and depending on the scenario is just completely inaccurate. that's why i think magoland is such a huge point for us here with a lot on the line -- if she chooses to not make magolor the antagonist and make it accurate to the game's actions and desires, that will be an essential key for his development and showcase that we're actually making progress with his character. but if she chooses to make him the antagonist again, the potential for him being something more than a villain -- which is RIGHT there -- is completely wiped

afaik magolor and kirby's friendship was also mentioned and i just want to throw out there. merry magoland happened because of kirby. merry magoland happened because of magolor's friends. kirby, meta knight, dedede and bandee are the reason merry magoland exists. so if takase chooses to not acknowledge any mention of that and make magolor go against them all, that also erases the potential of magolor's relationship with other characters as well yknow... the characters he's gone against for this whole time? it also makes no sense whatsoever??

so yeah this is a bit long but there's just a lot to either look forward to or dread about this novel -- or even both lmao -- the more i thought about it. i want to have a decent amount of hope that i could be wrong here, maybe takase will take advantage of what she has to work with game wise and create something truly special. but throughout all of magolor's appearances in the novels... *hand on mirror* it seems like all of his character is constantly scrapped in favor of treating him like some apathetic irredeemable character with no regard for others or understanding friendship. so that's kind of a hard pill to swallow

idk why, but im gonna go on a rant about the dead by daylight ship between david king and dwight fairfield for no reason. disclaimer: my opinions don't really mean jack here tho bc im a lesbian and mlm opinions probably matter more in this case

ok im gonna start this by saying i'm neutral on the ship i dont give a damn, but some depictions bother me. like please for the love of god don't turn dwight into nothing but an uwu baby even though he is a little bitch. i know it's tempting. because then it ends up that david is just I'll Protect You and it gives me 2008 bad yaoi manga vibes like PLEASE dont play into the gender roles! by said gender roles i am referring to the fact that often in relationships between the same gender, one is assigned "feminine" and the other "masculine" mirrored after straight relationships even though that's completely unnecessary. like don't do that.

dwight is a nervous little bitch canonically and i know this, but also he does have some leadership traits. like read his lore. bro is terrified but apparently has learned to kind of face it head on even tho he's still scared just like everyone else. that, to an extent, makes him a little bit strong and a little bit brave. very stubborn in that he holds on to his pathetic little life (sorry i just gotta make fun of him a little). so like.. if david likes dwight, i feel like he would admire these qualities. just saying. and david isn't a god of a man either, im sure he has his moments where dwight needs to actually Assist him. so like... you know, mutual respect and admiration instead of "YIPES DADDY IM SCARED UWU!" and "dont worry bae i'll protect you with my big man muscles 😤"

ok thats it that's all i have to say. im sure people do agree with this take and i just judged people too quick but i was in a ranting mood. if this post causes any drama i will hide for the rest of my life

Hello again! I hope you don't mind. What's your opinion on Azure Lion, and the Brotherhood? You said they were a toxic group, can you explain how and why? I am very dense. Also have you watched the newest Monkey King movie? What do you think of it? Are there any part of JTTW or Sun Wukong's story you'd like to see be made into a movie that doesn't get much attention? Not LMK verse of course. I'd like to see Ao Lie, the White Dragon Horse's story get expanded on, especially when the group encounter the Dragon family during their journey. What about you? What's your opnion on LBD's host, or Bai He as the fans are calling her? Would you like an interaction between her and SWK? Have a good month!

ok imma save your brotherhood question for last because once i start with them and swk's relationship with them, i will not stop.

anyway,

no, i haven't seen the new Monkey King movie yet T^T i hope to see it soon when i have free time, but uni's began, so i will be busy with assignments T^T goodbye summer vacation :'(

as for what jttw story i'd like to see more of? hmmmmm, idk, though tbh i am very new with any jttw interpretation (my introduction to this story was through OSP, and after seeing the sun&moon poll i decided to check out lmk), so my personal information is still small compared to the people who grew up with the many stories and variations of Journey to the West and its characters.

however, i kind of wanna say Sha Wujing/Sandy? mostly because he does seem like an interesting character (2nd strongest out of the companions if i'm remembering right), and is fairly clever with his fighting (which might be why he gets along with swk a lot). idk, it would be fun to get some background on how he acquired his skull necklace (pretty sure they were enemies of his???? or something idk) and his own motivations for redemption, not to mention he does become a Bodhisattva just like swk and Tripitaka (pretty Pigsy/Zhu Baije doesn't???), so that would be fun to touch on!

moving on now....i actually do like how the fandom just adopted :BD's host and we all affectionately call her Bai He! it's sweet and i like that we all kind of want to see her own recovery of being possessed for like months (or a year idk lmk timeline is weird and funky and no i am not annoyed-) i am a big fan of the "Macky adopts previously possessed child out of solidarity but also she latched onto him first and wouldn't let go so he's kind of stuck with her now :)" it's very fanon but, eh, i'm a sucker for "reluctant dad to protect the smol" characters (prob another reason why i love Pigsy and swk so much lmao).

ALSO, i think her interactions with swk would be so funny (for me) and awkward (for swk) because she's like "thanks for saving the world and me!" and swk like "MHM! uh yeah, sure, np kiddo" bc he did almost kill her (tho he really did try to find a way to not do that) but also Bai He might not even be mad at him for that. (maybe i want her to attempt to befriend him, but swk is just so nervous and feeling a tad guilty so he avoids her but she's a persistent little fucker, maybe i want to a lot, sue me)

idk what her role is now in the show tbh. she could be sidelined now, and we only get cameos of her (s3 ending & s4 special) for the time being just showing her slow recovery (lmk has been doing a "minor/background character development happening behind the scenes" for awhile (DBK fam) so i wouldn't be surprised if we see that with her). but it's possible that she could grow to have some role in s5 or s6 (maybe she's got some leftover LBD powers bc post-possession symptoms, maybe Mr. Hoodie Man wants to use her too bc she was such a great host for LBD, maybe she saw something plot relevant while possessed concerning MK and wants to warn him or his friend??? WHO KNOWS???)

ok.....Brotherhood™️ what are my thoughts on them......

this post is already long as is, and i have class in 30 minutes, oh boy let's go >:3

sO, let try and summarize my thoughts of them before delving in: i think that narratively, the Brotherhood are a great way for establishing who Sun Wukong was pre-jttw as well as giving us access to his history with Macky (THANK FUCKING GOD I WAS SO DESPERATE FOR THEIR BACKSTORY).

the Brotherhood is also a great way to showcase MK's growing similarities with swk and the narrative parallels the two characters have for each other. we already knew swk was trying to mentor MK is a way that was different from how swk lived his life before because, we he's shown, he really does regret his past actions, and wants MK to be a better version, believes MK can be this better version of him. and you can see him trying, but also he fails to really explain WHY his teaching methods are slow and vague sooooooo, uh oh :)

anyway, character-wise.....the Brotherhood is written to be both sympathetic and dislikable. the sympathetic aspect comes with Azure and his Cause™️ because that shows you that "wait a minute...he really did want to do good, but lost sight of it and the harm he was doing along the way." you're supposed to sympathize with him, you're supposed to feel confused about his shaky relationship with swk because "Azure only wanted to do good, yet swk ruined it" <- this is some excellent unreliable narrator shit i love about this show btw

HOWEVER! Azure is not an archetype character (lmk doesn't really do archetypes. okay, they do, BUT it's more of deconstruction of the archetype than really using an archetype, you feel me?) he is a character who is deeply flawed. he is idealistic and vain (yes, yes he is vain bc have you seen this lion????) Azure built up swk on a pedestal of what a true role model king should look like (nevermind that swk's kingdom was on a island and his subjects were just monkeys, meaning his reign was fairly small compared to Heaven, therefore more manageable BUT I DIGRESS)

basically, Azure placed so much admiration and all his ideal onto swk, who was frankly a lot younger than the celestial lion being that he would have only recently met him post-Havoc & he was only about 500-600 years old by then (maybe????), and saw the monkey more as a perfect weapon to use to defeat the Jade Emperor and start a new, "more compassionate" era.

ok, and this is just me speaking, but, Azure, honey, if you really wanted to help restart Heaven into helping out the poor humans, instead of the very flawed bureaucracy you argued against.....maybe, don't continue on with a monarchy????? idk, maybe it's the Western influence talking but Azure, if you hate the celestial lords and emperor so much, maybe create a system that DOESN'T favor the lords and emperor????? break the whole system apart and create something new???? course you didn't think that far (which was eloquently shown in the special) so i'm honestly not surprised that your mission failed so many times

anyway, the dislikable aspect! Peng is a wonderful character for this section! so, when meeting Azure, you may come to a couple conclusions: wow a pretty lion! is he trustworthy? well, he seems to really want to help out.....damn he's got quite the silvertongue there, very convincing and great orator....you seem very upset about whatever swk did to you, huh? but meeting Peng you get: ooooh pretty bird man! oh, they're kind of a bitch, aren't they? yeah, still a bitch (and depending on the viewer, bitch can be affectionate or derogatory)

but yeah, so Peng, one of Azure's brother trio who worked with him in the Celestial Court and views him as the leader of the Brotherhood rather than swk (actually, none of the brotherhood members even consider swk their leader, except Azure and maybe Macky (but that might be bc Macky does not fucking care about the brotherhood member BUT swk) bc the rest view swk as their prized weapon)

Peng is really the character that starts to make you reconsider Azure's trustworthiness because my god is this bird the most condescending and bitchiest of friends. they are that toxic friend, okay? it was because of Peng that i clocked in "oh, ok, this is high school toxicity 101, got it" lol

anyway, Peng does not really seem to care that much for...the Cause™️ like Azure and Yellow Tusk do. rather, they seem to just stick around mostly because Azure and Yellow Tusk are their brothers and that's it. i guess props for staying loyal??? but still, Peng is the character that gives us the first crack into Azure's worthy crusade because their character will resort to violence first, turns on anyone who slightly disagrees with Azure's methods (*cough cough* Mac *cough cough*) or, hm, let's say....surrenders to the Jade Emperor, is missing for 500 years, then miraculously is freed and is working with a Buddhist monk?

so yeah, uh running out of time but to sum up: Azure and the brotherhood were never really "friends" they were colleagues who though they all had a common goal to defeat Heaven but their loyalty was built on ideals and pedestals and flaky attitudes which was why Mac was never comfortable around them, why DBK stopped interacting with them after the war, and WHY swk was so easily pointed as a traitor and a villain by the Camelhead Trio.

*jazz hands* and there you go, i would say more but i have class!
