my headcanons for if cornley put on a production of tgwdlm, for @marvelmaniac715 and any other cornley/hatchetfield folks <3

under a readmore because i have a lot to say sorry

chris plays paul because we know he loves that leading role. paul is supposed to show his love for his friends more and more as the show progresses, but because of everything going wrong, paul ends up becoming more and more angry at everything.

emma is initially played by vanessa (because as i have said before, my favourite goes wrongisms come from people playing characters they are ill suited for, and vanessa playing characters with much more attitude than she has is always funny to me). however, at the end of act 1 somewhere (probably somehow during join us and die), she gets bonked over the head and is knocked unconscious, leaving her unavailable for the second act.

this means that they have to understudy, and who’s the only understudy they have? trevor of course (a la nick lang understudying for lauren lopez). unlike nick lang, trevor doesn’t have a single clue what he’s supposed to be doing, and delivers a monotonous performance.

during the bit near the end where paul and emma almost kiss, trevor forgets to take the blood capsule that he is supposed to spit out. (idk how they do it in the real thing but just go with me on this please). this leaves no reason for paul and emma NOT to kiss. and therefore, they very awkwardly end up actually kissing. for the christrev fans out there <3

just before inevitable starts, vanessa gains consciousness. trevor doesn’t realise. this leaves everyone in confusion as they try to deal with TWO emma’s onstage as they sing.

max plays ted, because once again, cornley playing characters that do not suit them is my favourite thing. ted does not come across as a sleezeball at all, and during the ‘kick my head’ bit, it does not feel like ted is making fun of bill in any way.

however, ted’s enjoyment of show stoppin’ number is not an act at ALL. max is genuinely just having a good time. trevor is very put off by it all. life imitates art and vice versa.

by the time ted finally dies, chris is about ready to strangle max.

bill is played by jonathan, because jonathan canonically has a daughter and i feel like the not my seed angst would feel a bit more real. because as well as making fake cornley productions go wrong, i have to make them a little bit angsty as well. for the soul.

it also means that jonathan/bill is a bit late to all of his scenes (he got stuck behind a door). i feel like there’s many scenes where bill is the first to speak, meaning that the rest of the cast is awkwardly standing there while they wait for jonathan to get in.

sandra does the alice/zoey/greenpeace girl track, as she thinks it will be a good opportunity to show off her abilities in character work. no one comments on the fact that zoey isn’t really a character for her, just kind of how she is in real life.

there’s also a certain awkwardness about jonathan and sandra playing father and daughter that i think is fun.

robert plays hidgens. obviously. the most grandiose part for the most grandiose man. he goes full-out on show stoppin’ number, but then refuses to let hidgens die, wanting to continue his musical number. this causes problems.

annie plays charlotte. the main reason for this is because i want to hear nancy zamit belt join us and die <3 but apart from that i also think it has comedic potential.

the last track left to fill is mr davidson/sam/mcnamara. the only actor left is dennis. i will let you fill in the blanks.

KIDDING i will say more because i cannot shut up about anything. anyway there is a lot of responsibility on dennis because jeff blim has a LOT of singing and a LOT of parts. why dennis was cast in this role is a mystery (in-universe. in real life it’s because i think it would cause so many problems).

he does not come in on time during the title track, which messes the whole thing up for everyone.

he gets confused during what do you want paul, and starts singing it as ‘what do you want chris?’ instead. this brings a lot of confusion to the scene.

sam does not come across as sleazy in his first scene, and instead gets mixed up about which character he is. this makes sandra as zoey’s life very difficult.

during show me your hands, he accidentally starts pointing the gun at sandra and robert as the other cops instead. he also forgets to pretend to be unconscious once he gets knocked over the head, and adds unwanted commentary about the situation (“i think they should go to the hospital, because my brain shouldn’t be blue. even if it’s not my real brain. do you think my real brain is blue too?”)

he forgets what he’s doing in you tied up my heart, meaning annie has to instruct him on what to do throughout. this creates a rather unusual dynamic between charlotte and sam, where charlotte is highly frustrated as she falls for sam’s manipulation, which isn’t very convincing.

chris has to feed him lines during the mcnamara scene. dennis gets confused and throws the watch offstage instead of the phone.

as you may have guessed, america is great again is also a disaster. (“why is america great again? we live in england!”)

also at the very end the entire set falls down. because it’s cornley and they have to end with a bang!!!

anyway if anyone else has any headcanons, feel free to add on. hope you enjoyed <3

Hi hi! I'm a new follower, and I can't wait to binge read all of your works 💗 but I wanted to request one shot Kanetsugu angst and slight spice. Maybe he could be observing MC training with Keiji and unexpectedly get jealous 👀 angry kiss? Idk I'm just throwing it out there 🤣 xoxo!

Hi! Thank you for the follow and for the request! I apologize for taking so long to get to this one, but I really had fun with it. It ended up getting a bit long. I hope you and everyone else enjoys this as much as I did writing it!

KanetsuguxMC

Slightly spicy, but nothing too bad.

Foolish

I stood at the gates of Kasugayama Castle, waiting to greet our guest. “Awe, are you my welcoming party, Princess?”

I smiled at Keiji as he approached the gate. “Yeah, everyone else is busy, so I volunteered to be your tour guide for the day.” I said.

Keiji grinned as he threw an arm around my shoulders in that flamboyant friendly way of his. “Sounds good to me. Though I’m surprised Kanetsugu didn’t come with you.”

“He has a lot of work to do.” I replied, laughing at Keiji as I shoved him away. “He did say he was going to try and finish up early so he could join us for tea later.”

“Sounds like that ole sour puss.” Keiji said grinning. “Alright, show me a good time Princess!”

I laughed again and began to take Keiji through the halls of Kasugayama. “So, how’s everyone back in Azuchi?” I asked.

“Everything’s going pretty great.” Keiji answered. “If Lord Nobunaga hadn’t ordered it, Hideyoshi was gonna be here. He wanted to try to convince you to come back home.”

“I should probably write him more often. Let him know that I’m doing good and that Kanetsugu is taking VERY excellent care of me.” I replied, making that a mental note.

“He’d probably just assume you’re being forced.” Keiji replied. “He’ll be okay, though.”

“I hope so.” I replied.

We talked more as we walked around. When we arrived at the training hall, Keiji gave me a grin. “Hey, you been keeping up on your training?” He asked me. Sometime before I came to Echigo, I had begun spear training with Keiji and the new recruits back in Azuchi.

“Oh…well I don’t really get to practice that much.” I replied.

“Well, since I’m here why don’t we take the opportunity to brush up on your training then?” Keiji replied. “Be a fun way to pass the time.”

“Well…alright.” I agreed after a moment. “I just need to go change first.”

“I’ll wait here.” Keiji replied.

I went to mine and Kanetsugu’s room and changed into a light linen top and some “leggings” I had made for myself back when I was still in Azuchi. It was all specifically for training. Much easier to move in. I returned to the training room and Keiji and I both picked up some practice spears…which were just wooden staffs really.

“Alright, Princess, let’s see what you remember.” Keiji said, grinning at me.

Keiji and I started going through the stances. I was surprised by how automatically my body seemed to move. I guess muscle memory counts for something!

“Doing pretty good there!” Keiji encouraged me.

“I’m surprised by how much I remember.” I replied, grinning. “Let’s see what else I can remember!”

“Haha! That’s the spirit!”

Kanetsugu…

Kanetsugu managed to finish up his work for the day…incredibly early for him in fact. He knew Keiji was coming and spending time with the Oda princess. While Keiji was his friend… he couldn’t help but to feel a twinge of jealousy at the thought of his lover spending time so close to another man.

Kanetsugu took note of the time and headed to the room where the pair would likely be having tea…only to find that they weren’t there. One of the soldiers passing by. “Lord Kanetsugu, if you’re looking for the princess and Lord Keiji, they’re in the training hall.”

“What on earth are they doing there?” Kanetsugu asked.

“Spear training.” The soldier answered.

“Keiji is showing off as always.” Kanetsugu muttered as he began to head towards the training hall.

The soldier started following him. “Not just Lord Keiji. The princess is pretty capable, too.”

Kanetsugu stopped in his tracks. “What?”

“The princess is training with Lord Keiji.”

Kanetsugu blinked. He recalled his lover telling him that she’d previously trained with Keiji, but she hadn’t seemed interested in doing that again or at least not that she’d told him. He had assumed it was something that had been thrust upon her by the Oda.

“Lord Kanetsugu…”

Kanetsugu mentally shook himself. “I’m fine.” He replied and then started marching off towards the training room, his pace may or may not have picked up a bit.

As he got closer, Kanetsugu could hear Keiji’s boisterous voice. “Your form is great, Princess.” Keiji said. “You sure you haven’t been practicing?”

“I guess it’s muscle memory.” She replied.

Kanetsugu picked up his pace, a frown instantly creasing his brow at Keiji complimenting her form…and just how pleased she sounded. He slid open the door and stepped inside the training hall. He saw his lover and Keiji standing beside each other, going through some stances with practice spears.

His eyes couldn’t help but to notice the way his lover looked in a thin linen top and tight pants that were similar to the ones Keiji wore. Her hair was up in a bun, but strands were falling in places. Her skin was glistening with sweat from the exertion of the training, reminding him of how she looked after a passionate night in their shared bed.

He didn’t like that another man was seeing her looking like this. Though perhaps what bugged him even more was the happy grin she was wearing as she looked at Keiji.

“What are you two doing?” Kanetsugu asked, keeping his tone cool and level. He would make sure no one could see the storm that was brewing beneath the surface.

Both turned to him, the smile on the Princess’s face becoming even bigger as she looked at him. “Kanetsugu!” She said, her voice showing she was happy to see him.

Keiji was grinning his usual smile. “I figured there was no way a workaholic like you would be finished in time to spend any time with us.” Keiji replied. “So I decided to see if the princess had been keeping up on her training.”

“I see.” Kanetsugu replied.

“Well, now that you’re finished we can go have tea.” The princess said. “I’ll just need to washup and change first.”

“No that’s alright.” Kanetsugu said. He wasn’t sure what exactly it was…curiosity perhaps to see this side of his lover, but his next words surprised him. “I’d like to stay and observe your training. I know you mentioned it before, but I didn’t realize it was something you had taken so seriously.”

A lovely flush came to her cheeks and a bashful smile graced her lips. She had no idea what that look did to him…what thoughts it put in his head.

Before she could speak, Keiji was speaking up. “Sounds good to me. And yeah, the princess here was my best student!” He was then patting a hand on her back…a far too familiar hand for Kanetsugu’s taste.

“Well, continue with your training then.” Kanetsugu replied, moving to a spot where he could better observe. He leaned back against the wall, arms crossed over his chest in an effort to hold himself in place.

“Alright, you heard the man!” Keiji declared. “Let’s get back to it.”

The princess smiled at nodded. “Alright!” She declared in a voice that showed she was determined and ready to go…though that slight flush remained on her cheeks.

Kanetsugu watched as the two continued to go through the stances and exercises. The princess did indeed have a good form. He was surprised to see how well she wielded the practice spear. She moved as someone who had trained for quite sometime.

“Alright, let’s see if you can remember some of the more advanced stuff.” Keiji declared leading her into another exercise.

She did well once again. Though Kanetsugu did notice one stance she had a bit of trouble with. Keiji as her trainor noticed this as well. “That’s good, but ya gotta move your hands more like this.” Keiji said, showing her where her hands should be positioned by demonstrating himself.

She nodded and moved her hands. “Here?” She asked.

“No, here let me help you.” Keiji replied, setting his spear aside and then moving to stand behind the princess. “First relax into it a bit more…” He said, a hand coming to her back and adjusting her posture. “Spread your feet just a bit wider, but not much…”

As Kanetsugu watched this, he could feel the rage bubbling up inside of him. He didn’t care that this was for training purposes…another man was touching HIS lover…and right in front of him! He did his best to contain that rage.

“Alright now,” Keiji went on, his arms going around the princess and his hands resting on hers, “you’ll wanna move your hands here…” He was then sliding her hands along the staff into the proper position.

Kanetsugu couldn’t help but to notice just how close Keiji was to the princess. Keiji’s head was even lowered so that his face was right next to hers…and she still had that flush on her cheeks. Was she liking this? He couldn’t stand it a second longer.

“I think that’s enough.” Kanetsugu declared.

Both Keiji and the princess looked at him, shocked expressions on their faces at the sound of his clipped tone. Keiji was then grinned as he pulled back from the princess. “Got it.” He said, clearly understanding what was going on.

The princess looked at him, confused. “Kanetsugu…” She asked, slowly lowering the practice spear.

Keiji was quickly taking the spear from her as Kanetsugu came over and took her hand in his. “Come on.” Kanetsugu said, tugging on her hand to lead her from the room.

“But…” She began to protest.

“Don’t worry, I’ll clean up here, Princess.” Keiji declared.

“He’ll be fine. I’ll send someone to show him to his guest room later.” Kanetsugu told her.

“O…okay.” She replied and waved back to Keiji, who was just grinning at the two.

Kanetsugu led the princess out of the training hall and quickly pulled her into a deserted corridor. He moved quickly, pinning her against the wall and pressing his body to hers. “You foolish girl.” He muttered before claiming her lips in a hard kiss.

“Mmmnn!” She gasped into the kiss as she parted her lips for his quickly intruding tongue.

Kanetsugu firmly held her, his hands running over her body as he deepened the kiss. His lips parted from hers only to trail down the side of her neck…he couldn’t seem to control himself and his teeth were soon scraping her over her flesh, leaving marks. He wanted to mark her…to claim her.

“Kanet…sugu…” She gasped, her body responding of its own accord to his ministrations. He opened the collar of her shirt and allowed his lips and teeth to explore her collarbone and cleavage.

Kanetsugu pulled back, looking at her with a feverish need burning in his eyes. He could see her panting against the wall and his desire only seemed to grow. She was panting and sweating, her cheeks glowing and her eyes filled with desire and confusion, tears already seeming to glisten at the corners. Her clothes disheveled from his own work. He wanted more…and it was clear she would let him.

“Kanetsugu…?” She asked, her breathy voice filled with a mixture of confusion and desire and longing. “Wha…what’s…going on?”

Kanetsugu sighed as he leaned his head down, forehead coming to rest on her shoulder. “How else am I supposed to react to another man touching you?” He replied. “And even worse when you’re smiling and blushing at him…”

“Oh…” She gasped. She was then moving her hands to cup his face between them and forcing him to pull back and look at her. “So, you know Keiji is my friend and only my friend.” She began. “So yeah I was happy to see him and happy to work on training again…but the blushing…well that was…because YOU were watching.”

Kanetsugu blinked. “What…”

The princess now turned away, a bashful expression on her face. “Well, how else is a girl supposed to feel when the man she loves most in all the world is watching her? I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of you…”

A gentle smile came to Kanetsugu’s face. He brought a hand to her chin, coaxing her gaze back to his. “We’re both fools.” He declared before capturing her lips once more.

She responded to the kiss, wrapping her arms around him. When they broke the kiss, she was smiling up at him. “I love you, Kanetsugu.”

“I love you, too.” He replied. He was then helping her to straighten her top back out. “Let’s get this fixed…I can’t have anyone else seeing you like this while we head back to our room.”

Her eyes widened. “It’s the middle of the day…”

“I don’t care. I can’t contain myself much longer…not after all of that.” He replied.

The princess smiled, her cheeks reddening but her eyes with desire. “Well…I’m not really sure I can wait either.”

Kanetsugu let out a groan. “When you say things like that…”

The pair worked to quickly straighten themselves out and were hurriedly making their way to their bedroom…where they wouldn’t leave until the next morning.

So I finally watched The Marvels.

~SPOILERS AHEAD~

They missed the opportunity to actually say Wanda's name but it's totally fine 'cause this is not about her, but also, excuse me Miss Rambeau??? Monica is that powerful now and all because she visited Wanda's little Sims city a couple of times, like what? I love it. That old theory that Wanda was the one who gave Pietro's power is coming back stronger now

I strongly believe misogyny and racism are behind the flop of this movie, I had an amazing time watching it, whole thing was genuinely funny with relevant marvel lore and characters plots (the aliens are still fighting each other and blaming humans, but hey, colonialism and exploit of resources are the main reason we have to protect planets). Everyone loves when Peter Quill explores the galaxy but if three women do the same it's suddenly a problem.

A lot of people saying how tired they are of Marvel, were only tired of women doing the Marvel formula, don't believe those haters. Just like every other Marvel project, we have the hero journey and their blockbusters cliches, a lot of visual effects and jokes, LIKE EVERY OTHER MARVEL PROJECT, but sure, let's blame the girls for the failure. To me, it was really refreshing just to see women having fun and supporting each other and throwing little energy balls every now and then.

Also, the fact that Princess Carol is a fucking Star now? Pretty sure that got her killed in the What if series but good to know she's more powerful than that.

Kamala is the star of this movie, she's so funny and charming but also Monica and Carol angst got me crying and it was not enough!! I need more of their pain

I almost forgot, Miss Carol Danvers is all by herself in space just using a god damn TORTURE DEVICE to try to get her memories back, EXCUSE ME??? Someone gives this woman a hug, or idk, sent her to therapy with Bucky cause jesus Christ that's not healthy lady.

For the things I didn't like, the rhythm for sure. Such a quick movie, a lot of things happening, one minute I was crying the next I was giggling then crying again and then thinking about politics like slow down a little. I wanna digest the dialogues for a second.

THE SINGING PLANET I CANNOT-

Really funny movie, kamala's parents, the cats, everything was so easy going and cheerful even with the little angst moments, I had such a good time.

The best thing about this movie, as fanfic writer who gets truly frustrated with plot holes and stuff like that, it's that I will be able to watch it again. Movies from the first phases I used to love before I start writing, I can no longer enjoy the same 'cause I keep seeing how they don't make a fucking sense or have unbearable characters storylines and personality changes (yes I'm talking about Civil War and Age of Ultron or Ultimate, maybe STEVE ROGERS LEAVING BUCKY in a specific matter). This and also the fact they lack all kinds of minorities. Doctor Strange had like 2 women in the cast?? And don't even get me started on talking about what the sequel did to Wanda's character development.

The Marvels, Ragnarok, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Captain America (1&2), Infinity War and Guardians of The Galaxy (all three), Black Panther (both), Ten Rings, Eternals, are still the only Marvel movies I actually enjoy rewatching, because they are projects that respect the characters established personalities and history and for origins ones like Eternals or Ten Rings, they are simply fun, what a crime for a movie to be just fun huh

All of the shows are worth rewatching (even Fury's one that I hated it), 'cause they were given time to develop into stuff and as a writer there's a lot for us to work it.

Btw, I'm not talking about Kate Bishop'cause I'm simply unable to process my happiness over seeing her again. I do think I might have a stroke once Yelena is back.

#the marvels #the marvels spoilers #this is me venting #watch me write carol fanfiction after this #me and kamala actually haha #i want to hear everybody opinions as well

So I am getting back into Ben 10, and I was reminded just how much I fucking loved the series If there are any Ben 10 lovers out there, my ask box is open for you guys! I have been in a huge mood and want to write for the non-rebooted versions (haven't watched the reboot, but seeing all the differences is tempting me too; not to mention kevin just??? looks so cute???? I want to hug him and protect him from all the bad things in the world) Here's a little guide: - OG series is strictly platonic or puppy love situations - UAF is where I'll start doing more serious romantic stuff - OV is just. Angst central but also opens opportunities for a lot of fun dynamics (like alien/human,,,I've personally always saw this one to be in the 18 y/o range like myself for all the characters too, rather than 16/17 like I think I've heard, so I'll be using that as the base)

I should mention here that I only to GN or masc readers! I'm not comfortable writing a she/her POV for a reader insert This is a pro-hating Kai acc too, because I just saw the episode where she was introduced not too long ago and what the fuck idk how Gwen or even Ben himself let them get together in the future after that episode idc how she might have grown, I wouldn't let that slide at all

But just a note, I won't just take reqs for Ben! I also will try to write for others like Albedo, Gwen, Kevin...all them! I haven't properly watched the shows in ages but I gotta research for OC stuff anyway so I might as well use this as a chance to practice and also cause i know i'll have a beta reader for Albedo /j (unless they agree lmao)

#moon speaks #request call #ben 10 #ben 10 x reader #ben 10 x you #kevin levin x reader #gwen tennyson x reader #alien force #omniverse #ultimate alien

Hi! I absolutely have fallen in love with your writing and I was wondering if you could do a kaz x reader where you’re a touchy person & very close with Jesper (platonically ofcourse). Kaz sees the way you’re able to touch & hug other people and he feels horrible because he can’t give you that. So lots of internal kaz struggles & distancing?? Maybe said struggles & distance will start to cause trouble during a mission, which leads him to confess what’s been on his mind?? Idk just lots of angst but with a happy ending pls <3

in a decadent age i try to change

Navigation┃Main Masterlist┃Requests

Pairing: Kaz Brekker x gn!Reader

A/N: First of all: Thank you sm for the compliment, currently crying in the corner. Second of all: I'm sorry that this request has taken so long, I almost had it finished and had it sitting in my drafts, but I forgot about it jsjsks. I hope you like this, because it was sm fun to write. We love ourselves a teeny bit of angst with hurt/comfort. Thank you for requesting this!!! <333

Summary: Kaz watches the reader’s close relationship with Jesper and starts to feel guilty, causing him to distance himself from them. After his bad conscience almost costs them their life, he chooses to come clean.

Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Angst

Word Count: 3.7K

Warnings: Touch aversion, mentions of death and nausea, violence, poor proofreading, slight mention of unwanted groping, just in general mention of Kaz's trauma

Kaz was crushed by an immense sense of yearning. It was a foreign feeling to him, the depressing ache of longing pressing down on his chest, making him feel like a young defenseless boy. Of course, he wanted things - Money, Revenge, Power - but these were all items he could get to by using logic and his own skills. His own emotions weren’t that simple to decipher.

He didn’t understand how you could even consider loving him. He held himself as the cold and cruel gang leader that life had made him out to be, but somehow you were able to look past his dreary exterior. Hearing you say that you loved him almost made him choke on his own spit. Nothing could’ve prepared him for that, especially after he had tried to suppress his own feelings towards you. So against his better judgement, he chose to genuinely try.

You both tried your best. Not overstepping his boundaries had proven to be more difficult than you imagined. After a few months of dating, he decided to tell you about the reason for his severe touch aversion. He told you about the Queen’s Lady Plague, about his brother and about the steadily rising waters. He told you about the dreadful nausea, the feeling of bloating corpses under his skin and the panic attacks that were able to bring him to his knees in an instant. You had always known about his fear of touch. It manifested in his daily life like an unwanted stench. It manifested in the way he always kept a set distance whilst standing next to somebody, how it took him almost all his willpower to seal deals with a handshake, and how he tried to avoid being caught up in crowds as best as he could.

He gave you the opportunity to leave. There would be no hard feelings on his side, was what he told you, in case you chose to change your mind about your relationship. But you didn’t. You wanted to stay, no matter how much work you had to put into the relationship.

However, Kaz knew that you craved touch. He saw how your hugs with Jesper got longer, how you looked at his hands whenever he took off his gloves, or in the comforting physical gestures you would show towards your friends whenever they were in need of consoling. Physical touch was what you used to love, to soothe and to show affection. But sometimes, you needed the same affection back, and he knew that he wasn’t able to do that for you yet.

The fact that a certain touchy sharpshooter considered you his best friend, didn’t particularly help settle Kaz’s unease regarding the whole situation. At first, he thought that the feeling he got when seeing you laugh together was just plain and simple jealousy, but after a while, he noticed that it wasn’t just that. It was the guilt of not being able to provide the same tenderness for you.

“Jes, it wasn’t that funny.” you groaned, just as Kaz passed by the door to the small living room area of the Slat.

Your voice made him pause, lingering at the door to watch what you were currently doing. Again, he felt a slight pull on his heartstrings, knowing that you should’ve spent the day with him if he hadn't told you about all the work he still had to finish.

His eyes landed on you instantly. You were sitting on the couch, legs draped over Jesper’s, his hand on your leg. Interactions like these weren’t a big deal to you, or Jes for that matter, since that was just how your friendship was. Both of you were touchy, but that didn’t mean anything to you. Especially since neither of you was single.

“Maybe it wasn’t funny to you. But you should’ve seen that bastard’s face when he realized we stole his sack of kruge.” Jesper chuckled, throwing his head back into his seat.

“Ugh,” you huffed, giving him a slight jab to the shoulder, “Yeah, you only find that funny, because you weren’t the one who had to sit on Dryden's lap for almost half an hour.”

Kaz cringed at the mention of Karl Dryden’s name, remembering all the exact details of the previous mission. You and Jesper played the roles of a wealthy merchant couple attending a charity ball at one of Dryden’s mansions. The initial objective was to use the two of you as a distraction for the old creep, whilst Inej and Kaz tried to rob a safe situated in the basement. This plan quickly dissipated after you got separated by the increasing mass of people. So on the spur of the moment, you decided to flatter the heavyset merchant, showering him in compliments, ending in you being pulled into his lap. Even though it made you gravely uncomfortable, you continued your act until Kaz gave you the sign to leave. As a sort of compensation, you also stole the satchel of kruge he kept on his belt, throwing it to Kaz after you exited the building. He was slightly agitated by the way this mission turned out, making sure to scold Jesper for his negligence. Now it almost caused him to retch whenever he thought about Dryden’s hands clutching onto your thighs.

“I had to watch you flirt with that pig and keep a straight face, so we can discuss who had to suffer more.” Jesper cried dramatically, causing you to snort in response.

“Oh no, you poor soul. I bet watching me make a fool out of myself was so hard for you to watch.” you mocked.

Jesper’s mood suddenly sobered up a little, his back straightening.

“I mean, there were other people that didn’t enjoy watching you as much as I did.” he muttered, taking a nip from his drink, “Kaz looked like he wanted to kill that fucker.”

You rolled your eyes, cocking your head to give him an incredulous look.

“I don’t think there is one person in the entirety of Ketterdam, that Kaz didn’t want to kill at some point.” you joked, taking the drink from your friend’s hands and placing it on the table next to you.

“But the rest of Ketterdam keeps their hands off of his partner.” he mused, giving you a satisfied grin.

“I doubt Kaz had any strong reaction to that mission. He knows that everything was just an act and that I’m perfectly capable of helping myself, so there’s no need for him to fuss about it.”

Unbeknownst to you, he did care. Quite a lot actually. It made him sick to his stomach, having to watch you getting touched by some dirty merchant, whilst he could barely muster the courage to link your pinkies. He felt guilt, jealousy and self-hatred all at once, making it incredibly hard for him to focus when these thoughts plagued his mind.

“If you say so, Y/N.” Jesper murmured, immediately starting another senseless conversation afterwards.

Not intending to snoop on you any further, Kaz decided to take the hint and leave. After all, he still had another upcoming mission to plan, and he couldn’t afford his whole mind to be taken up by her, no matter how much it impacted him.

The next day, he had set up a meeting with the rest of the Crows, going over the first basics of the next heist he had in mind. Even though you still had a few weeks until the scheduled date, he liked to have everything planned out carefully, not wanting to risk any misunderstandings or failures.

You were the first one to arrive at his office. You always were, coming in with a steaming hot cup of coffee. He didn’t usually get the most sleep, so you tried to make sure to at least take care of the things you could do for him.

He only looked up briefly, giving you a brief nod, before returning to the numbers in front of him. But he couldn’t focus on them. Not whilst you were in the room, sitting in a chair he mentally dubbed as yours and watching him with a concerned look on your face. With a heavy inhale, he pinched the bridge of his nose, hoping to get rid of the unpleasant feeling spreading through his chest.

“Kaz?” you spoke up, ripping him from his mental demise, “You don’t look good. Is everything alright, love?”

The genuine concern in your voice didn’t help his conscience even one bit, but he also had no clue on what to do next. He wanted you to know what was bothering him so much, however, Kaz Brekker wasn’t a person that talked about his feelings.

“It’s nothing.” he answered coolly, hoping that the slight crack in his voice hadn’t given too much away.

“You know you can tell me when something’s upsetting you, right?” you reassured curtly, trying to look for an answer in his eyes.

Before he could give any kind of reaction, the door to his office opened and the rest of the team stepped in.

Much to Kaz’s dismay, Jesper’s first move was to walk behind your chair, giving your shoulders a tight squeeze. Wylan also joined you, hugging you quickly, before joining his boyfriend, who was currently sitting on the windowsill.

He tried his best not to look at you during the meeting, but his eyes always seemed to wander towards your form. He noticed every little movement, every little touch you shared with the others. It didn’t matter how hard he tried to keep his focus, he never succeeded, sometimes completely abandoning his previous train of thought.

“Are there any questions?” he asked intently, letting his stare travel around your faces.

Jesper cleared his throat audibly, causing Kaz’s attention to fly directly to him.

“So, just for my own understanding, you and Y/N will be the only two people standing guard?” he commented, slightly confused by this constellation.

“Yes, that’s the plan, Jesper.” he answered in a monotone voice.

It wasn’t one of his best ideas, but it would have to be enough. He was aware that standing guard on a rooftop would be quite difficult for a person with only one working leg, but the nagging voice inside his head told him to not show any kind of vulnerability.

“You know that you have to climb on a roof for that, right? And you may be a bit - how do I say this - inconvenienced.” Jesper said, aware that he was walking on thin ice.

“Even though I have the urge to agree with you, I doubt that any other constellation would work.” Inej commented, leaning against the cold wall behind her.

“I’m just saying…” the Zemeni boy groaned, throwing his hands up defensively.

With that, everyone seemed to accept whatever rules and steps Kaz had just presented them with, filing out of the room one by one.

As much as you wanted to stay with him, you didn’t feel like he would appreciate any company right now, so you let yourself get dragged out by Nina and Jes, who had already found a fresh topic to gossip about.

Secretly, he wanted you to stay, but his mind began pestering him again. Maybe it was for the best to put a bit of distance between the two of you, he thought, leaning back in his chair.

In the following weeks, Kaz and you barely talked. Every conversation you had tried to start, just got turned into a pitiful small talk, that ended in you leaving wordlessly.

You tried to not take it too personally, however, you just couldn’t get rid of the questions clouding your brain. Was he mad at you? What did you do? Why didn’t he want to talk to you? Did he maybe fall out of love with you?

It always made you think of the conversation you had with Inej once. She had said two sentences that just didn’t want to let you go.

“He doesn’t say goodbye. He just lets go.”

When the day of the job finally arrived, the seven of you directly went to your designated locations.

You hated climbing roofs. They were slippery, uncomfortable and way too far away from the filthy cobblestone beneath you. Surprisingly, Kaz portrayed almost no difficulties climbing the building and settling at his selected spot. If his leg was bothering him, he managed to not let it show. As soon as you sat down next to him, you could spot Inej, Jesper and Wylan entering the building through one of the windows on the lower floor. Matthias and Nina had already chatted up one of the guards, holding a quite active conversation with him.

“Do you think this will work?” you whispered, slightly uneasy because of the whole situation.

“Would I have planned this job, if I doubted its success?” he shot back, sounding a bit harsher than he had intended to.

“Alright, alright.” you mumbled, taken aback by his agitated reaction.

The next few minutes were spent in complete silence, none of you dared to say a word, but the pressing silence wasn’t good for either of you.

“Kaz.” you stated, causing him to look at you fully, for the first time in what felt like ages, “What is going on?”

He swallowed thickly, knowing that now was not the right time to tell you about his worries.

“You’ve been so distant lately, and I don’t know why. Is there anything I can do for you? I dislike seeing you like this.” you assured.

“This is not the right time for conversations like these.” he deflected quickly, averting his eyes again to glue them back on the entrance of the other building.

“When is the right time then?” you retorted, becoming slightly frustrated with his obvious attempt at diverting your attention.

“Kaz, please don’t do this. Don’t shut me out again.”

Shots pierced through the humid night air, causing both of you to flinch. Jesper and Wylan hastily climbed out of one of the upper windows making their way up the roof of the opposite building. Inej, Nina and Matthias came running out of the door, clutching the stolen blueprints tightly to their chests.

You cursed, as you spotted some Dime Lions trying to get to the two separate groups. One of the guards managed to pull out a gun, aiming it directly at Jesper’s head. Grabbing your own revolver, you jumped up hastily, stepping a bit further down on the incline of the slick roof. Kaz tried to grab you, but you were quicker, positioning your weapon and firing a clean shot at the other shooter.

The bullet hit him perfectly, the impact causing him to plunge out of the window, body flopping on the hard ground with a horrifying crack. Kaz let himself slide down a little, giving you a concerned look.

“Y/N, hurry up and get back up here, we have to leave.” he urged.

You took a deep breath in order to ground yourself. Even though it basically was part of your job now, killing people still didn’t sit right with you.

At that moment, you realized why you hated staying on roofs. You were no Inej, so your coordination was pretty underdeveloped. Before you could even turn around to face Kaz, your feet slipped from under you, the slickness pulling you down to the edge. Clumsily, you clung to the edge, the rest of your body hanging over the abyss under you.

Kaz lunged forward, slipping down to a little platform close to you. He was utterly helpless. You would never be able to pull yourself up on your own, but he wasn’t sure whether he could trust himself enough to grab you.

“Kaz, get Jesper!” you cried, anxiety washing over your features.

But Kaz just stood frozen in place. The waters were rising again, drowning him in the memories of his brother. The voices inside his head penetrated him with insults, calling him weak. He was suffocating again.

“Kaz, please!” you called out again, as you felt your fingers lose their grip again.

He was violently pulled out of his trance when another body slid down beside him, already reaching out to grab your arms. Jesper had apparently heard your pleas for help, hauling you up the roof with all his might.

“Kaz, leave!” Inej’s voice called from behind him.

With a hint of hesitation, he nodded, clambering up to the door through which you had entered. His mind was racing. His fear could’ve cost you your life. What would he have done if you hadn't been able to hold on to it properly? Would he have watched you plummet down to your death?

“Saints, are you alright?” Nina called out to you, as you and Jesper arrived at the rendezvous point.

Your clothes were soiled with the slick dirt of the roof, and your legs were a shaky mess. You didn’t even want to imagine how fast your heart was beating at this point.

“Your heart is beating way too fast, let me help you.” she offered, already moving her hands to slow down your heart rate.

A weight was lifted off your shoulders, making your breathing return to a steady rhythm gradually. Jesper still didn’t let go of your arm, fearing that you might collapse at every second.

Meanwhile, Kaz had an equally horrified expression on his face, heavily relying on his cane. He never took his eyes off you once but didn’t have the courage, or the current emotional intelligence, to ask if you were fine.

Nina turned around carefully, meeting Kaz’s gaze with a concerned look.

“What is it now, Zenik?” he hissed at her, his hand clenching around the head of his cane.

“Kaz, your heartbeat sounds like you could pass out at every second, let me-”

“Don’t even think about tinkering with my heart.” he bellowed, before turning to leave.

“Saints, what is up with him today?” Jesper commented while he offered you the necessary support to move forward.

“I wish I knew.” you murmured.

Back at the Slat, you were torn between talking to Kaz and going to rest a bit. You were exhausted, the near-death experience had spent all of your energy for the day. Jesper also didn’t seem too pleased with you wanting to talk to Kaz. He immediately led you to your bedroom, telling you to rest and just forget about what happened for a while.

This was easier said than done, especially since you heard the hasty clicking of his cane echoing above you. He was pacing around his office again, but this time, you couldn’t conjure the energy to console him. Not when you were the person who also needed comfort.

Suddenly, the footsteps disappeared, and only the distant sound could still be heard. Was he finally going to sleep?

The answer was no.

You heard his heavy steps coming down the stairs, stopping right in front of your door. The door didn’t open. He was hesitating.

“Come in or go away.” you said, hopefully loud enough for him to hear.

No reaction.

Just as you thought that he already left again, you heard the door creak. Kaz entered without a greeting, closing the door behind him and leaning against it.

"Is this the right time to talk about what's going on?" you said after another awkward silence.

He only nodded in response, still standing rooted in place.

You sat up straight, scooting closer to one side of the bed, offering him to sit down on the space next to you.

He hesitantly accepted, spending a few minutes taking in your expression before he opened his mouth to talk.

"I'm sorry." was the first thing coming out of his mouth.

"For almost letting me fall off a roof or for ignoring me for two weeks?"

"For not being able to give you what you need." he interjected.

That was not the answer you were expecting.

"What do you mean, Kaz? What do so need?" you asked perplexed.

"Someone that doesn't almost keel over at the mere thought of touching you. Someone that can give you physical affection." he started, not willing to meet your gaze, "If you would've died tonight, that would've been on me. And I don't think I could've lived with that."

"That's what this is all about?" you asked disbelievingly.

One of his brows perked up. He didn't know what kind of reaction he had expected, or if he even had expected anything for that matter. You sitting across from him, an understanding smile painted on your lips was probably on the bottom of his list.

"Who told you that? I would never ask anything of you that you weren't comfortable with. You can be a quite difficult man, Mr. Brekker, but you'll never be too difficult for me." you assured him.

His face was turned away from you slightly, you could see that he was still pondering what to say next, whilst simultaneously trying to process your words.

"I still should've done something. Instead of just…doing nothing."

"Kaz, it's fine. I am fine. You're fine. There's nothing to change about what happened. You've done more than enough for me, even if your touch aversion is still there. It won't go away that easily, and I'm perfectly aware of that. I also was very much aware of what I agreed to when we started this. You're not giving me anything less than what I've asked for."

He nodded slowly, his eyes finally meeting yours.

"I'd still like to get better." he added lowly, almost not daring to be this vulnerable.

"And I'll try to help you as best as I can. If you want me to."

"I'd like that." he answered with the ghost of a smile on his face.

"I love you, Kaz. Even though you act terribly dense sometimes." you laughed, causing him to chuckle in agreement.

Maybe he still had time to change. If he wouldn't do it for himself, he should at least try for you. He wasted way too many chances, but he knew that he had to take this one.

- When I was your man -

(Neglected F!Reader x Albedo)

Summary: You're married to Albedo, at least thats what people think. He was almost never there for you. You're just his sick sister's caregiver to him. Maybe it's time for you to go.

Warnings: Klee is sick, ooc, terrible, angst, im frustated with this one, Albedo is kinda mean but not that mean, word crime,theres barely any pronouns referring to reader, GAWD IM SO TIRED, might do a part 2 idk, THERES ALOT THAT IS WRONG BUT IDC

It's a marriage of convenience, with you helping Albedo while also getting benefits such as protection. Albedo, your husband, married you for the sake of his sister who got an incurable disease. He needed someone to take care of her since he is too busy for that. Luckily, there's you.

It's a marriage out of love, well at least for him. For you, this marriage is a golden opportunity to become closer to Albedo. An opportunity to steal his heart. Even though your true intentions are different, you still took care and love Klee. She is like a daughter to you.

You both lives in a small house prepared by Albedo in Mondstat since Klee can't handle cold temperature with such conditions. Because of his works and projects, he was rarely there. You can't blame him since he is the Chief Alchemist after all.

At first you don't really mind the lack of presence of your husband as you're well aware of how busy he is but as the days pass, you started to be self conscious, aware of the loneliness that even Klee can't cure.

He doesn't even touch you, not even once. Isn't that supposed to be the responsibility of an husband? You can only see his beautiful grayish-blonde hair when he comes to visit his sister.

You knew it's a pure loveless marriage, yet you can't help to wish.

Oh how you wish you can be closer to him, be more intimate and spend more time together. Oh how you wish to be by his side when he is drowning in work, giving him words of encouragement. Oh how you wish you can help him relief his stress, just like how any other husband and wife would.

"Sister! Do you miss Mister Albedo?"

The cute voice of Klee snaps you out of your nonsensical dilemma, you cocked your head to your left to see a cute blonde girl in red, which despite of her poor condition, are still very bright and happy.

Do you miss him? It's been a while since you last saw him. Maybe you did.

...

"Of course I do, my dear. I miss him very-very much"

"Awh! Don't be sad sister. Here, you can help make this cute exploding dessert!" Klee offer. She knows that you're feeling sad so she wants to help you forget about it. There's nothing that a dessert can't fix right?

Well, she is right. You had lots of fun baking with Klee. It was lovely- But at the same time chaotic. You both made a bombed shaped dessert that sparks in your mouth- made with a special ingredient. It was delicious so you decided to go to Dragonspine to let Albedo try. I mean, his sister baked that! He should at least try a bite. You're aware that Albedo doesn't need to eat, but it doesn't hurt to try.

After alot of struggling and hardship of going to the harsh snow, you finally arrived at his lab.

There you saw him, Albedo, your husband is there with Sucrose experimenting together sitting oh so close to each other. As his wife, there's a spark of jealousy and insecurity in your heart, burning it to ashes.

"He probably think of her as a friend."

"Of course he needs to be with her, their co worker"

"Experimenting is very dangerous, he will need her by his side at all time"

"He's doing this for the sake of his career"

You tried and tried to calm yourself, denying all your intrusive thoughts. But, you're still just a human.

"Maybe he deserves someone who's better, who understand him"

And with that, you put the desserts on a table near you quietly, trying not to get caught and left. As quiet as how you first came.

You goes down the mountain in tears flooding you cheeks, almost frozen.

I guess you just lucky being married to him huh?

You wanted his attention but he doesn't want to give you want. Deserved.

Well, fast forwards to 3 months later, you finally started to accepted the fact that Albedo will never love you and that made your mood gloomy. Lucky that there's Klee.

She begged you to go for a walk around Mondstat with her. Despite her sick body, Klee is still the same Klee. Who could say no to a cute blooming smile like that?

Klee's sound of laughter and cheery smile lights up the day, washing away your pain bit by bit. But as always, the joy doesn't last long.

"RUN KLEE! LET ME HANDLE THIS!"

You shouted with all your might as a group hilichurls approaches you. You can't risk Klee using her vision because of her currently weak physique due to her illness. Her body won't be able to handle it. So you take matter into your own hand.

Klee ran, as fast as she can to seek for help despite tears flooding hard down her cheeks. "Trust your big sister."

You launch yourself at the group and try your best to slow them down. The quantity was unnatural, it was suspicious. You brushed your thoughts away and focus on slowing them down despite being weak.

Right. You're weak. You don't have any vision nor any sense of combat to fight those monster. What were you thinking?! You must be stupid. But you rather be stupid and die, than having them hurts your little sister. You are her big sister, her mother, her bestfriend, her guardian. And she is your everything.

This is your time. To protect Klee. To complete Albedo's task. To free yourself.

" Maybe it was not the time for us."

By the time the knights arrive, it was already too late. You were nowhere to be seen. There was only your bloodied shirt with a ring covered in blood, sparkling under the sun of Teyvat even with it's terrible state.

It's your wedding ring.

Klee was crying hysterically and the knights tried their best to calm her down. Like it or not, she had to accept it. You're gone.

Albedo's was notified of this later on, but he has no emotion. Monotone. Heartless.

" I suppose it's time to find Klee a new caregiver."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

#angst #albedoxreader #genshin #genshinimagines # genshinimpact #genshinselfinsert #kae.fic

You open your eyes, droopy and sleepy after what it felt like days of laying down. You found yourself laying on a soft bed. You groaned a bit, putting you arms on your forehead as you turn your head to the left.

(JK SORRY)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a tall ginger figure sitting near the window, looking out to admire the view of a foreign place. You sit yourself up and then it hits you, you're in a foreign place, in a foreign man's house, almost half naked.

"AHHH!" Sharp scream shoots out from your mouth. Shocking the unknown man as he quickly approach you. You pull the sheets that were covering you up to your chest.

'Wait, this isn't covering enough.' You then decided to move as lightning, wrapping the sheets around your body like burrito to fully cover you except for your face. "Who are you and why am I naked?!"

A loud annoying laugh bursts from the man, it went on for long to the point that the ginger had to cover his beautiful&hard abs stomach and tears starts to prick out of the corner his eyes.

"Why are you laughing?! What's so funny huh?!" Your face turns red from anger and embarrassment. You can just imagine fumes coming out of your ears like it's always described in books you read before.

You took a peek from under the cover and just stared at the glass. The ginger just sigh with your behaviour. "You do you, girlie. Don't search for me when you want something."

"Hahah- Calm down stranger! I saved you from dying in a river you know! You were so injured you might've died if I didn't saw you earlier! You should've thank me. Plus, you're not naked. They're still bandages on your body, unless you want me to remove th-"

"STOP" You yelled, face covered in the red of embarrassment. You hide your face in the sheets, in an attempt to save yourself. He just chuckles, walking away from the bed to grab something and putting it on a small table near the bed. "Here, drink this. You must be thirsty."

You reach out for the glass and drink the cold refreshing water slowly considering he saved you. "So, may I know your name sir?"

He looked as if he was expecting the question. I mean what's more important than knowing you saviour's name?

"Ah! Glad you asked. I'm Childe, also go by Tartaglia. It's yours to decide which is what you desires to call me. Pleasure to meet you." His self introducing is quite flowery, I guess.

"I'll just call you Childe" Since he acts like a child *eyes roll emoji*

"Alright! Childe it is. And may I have the honour of knowing your name?" He requested with a cheeky smile decorating his face. Right, talking about his face, you must admit he is quite handsome. His beautiful blue eyes, locking eyes to eyes with you. His masculine and exquisite face shape makes his handsomeness pops out. His smile is cheeky and annoying, yet charming. Oh, his physique is good too.

"Ehem- Stranger? Are you done staring now? Are you a pervert?" His words snapped you back to earth. Realizing that you, a stranger to him, are fucking staring and scanning his whole body is so unacceptable. You're embarrassing yourself a lot today.

"Oh! R-right! My name is [name]. Sorry for my rude behaviour."

"Haha! Don't be, [ name ]! I can't blame you for being attracted to my charming self." You' re too annoyed to tolerate him. Not today. "Where is this? What happened? Why did you save me?"

Questions upon questions fired from your mouth.

"Woah there stranger! Calm down now, would you? Well first of all, we're in Liyue. Second of all, I don't know how you were injured and ended up floating on the river. And to answer your last question, I rescued you simply because I thought you look pretty. I wouldn't have the heart to leave such a pretty lady all injured." He answer, with a quite honest expression. You believed him as he is you saviour, but that last answer really is unnecessary.

"I don't remember how I got injured. I only remembered running somewhere and falling into a river. Maybe I was being chased. I felt a really sharp pain in my abdomen and after that the world turns dark and I somehow ended up here." You explained to him.

"Huh, you must've lost your memories. But now worries [name]! I'll take care of you until you fully recover. It's dangerous to let you go unauthorized in your current state." He offers, looking happy to help. You were reluctant at first, but considering he was kind enough to help you, you decided to stay with him. After all, if he ever dare to do something bad or inappropriate, you'll just kick him in the crotch. No biggie.

"Why are you so nice to me, Childe?"

" I already told you so, you're pretty. I wouldn't let such a pretty woman miserable. I'm a gentleman" You just smile at his words. Hoping that you will recover soon so you can pay this ginger back.

"Eh, btw Childe, where's my clothes? I don't want to stay here only covered by bandages." You want to get your clothes back as quickly as possible. Being naked here with him feels dangerous. For you, atleast.

"Oh about that, I found you topless at the river. I didn't look of course. As I say, I'm a gentlemen. But I did took a peek and whew, you're quite sexy in my eyes." He blurted out in honesty. Too honest. His comment made you flustered as fuck and immediately hide yourself under the cover again.

"CHILDE! THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF GENTLEMAN!!!"

Childe's laugh decorates the atmosphere. In Childe's heart, he wonder who are you to be able to make him genuinely happy. And on that first encounter between [name] and Childe, he finally feels real joy after a long long time of being lost in emptiness.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very relatable tags about DL! I have some thoughts too that I wanna share but I’m not brave enough to say on main

I loved the concept of the game; the gimmick for sharing health with someone was very creative and was an incredible opportunity to pair up new players. We got rancher duo out of it!

However, I didn’t like the fact that 1) desert duo was paired again and 2) the cheating arc was a thing.

As someone who struggles with over attachment to certain characters and pairings, the story desert duo told with DL upset me a lot. I didn’t like the cheating arc and I didn’t like how upset Grian seemed to be paired with scar again. Logically I know they’re great friends and it’s all exaggeration for comedic purposes, but in the moment it feels too real to me and upsets me (personally!! This isn’t a slander on Grian at all- he’s wonderful; I just didn’t like the character he played in DL if that makes sense)

Now with FANON it’s- as you said, 100x worse. I feel like after double life, a lot of people started to portray desert duo as a one sided friendship / relationship where Grian is mean to Scar or whatever. Which upsets me a lot because of the whole attachment thing but also because it’s so inaccurate. Yes they had their angst thing, but Grian isn’t a mean person, and he’s certainly not intentionally malicious towards scar. Shipping aside, they’re very close friends and enjoy each other’s company. It hurts to see people portray them as toxic yknow?

Idk if any of this makes sense but I wanted to share :>

Makes sense dw! I agree! It didn't really upset me per se? More like it annoyed me.

Like you said, nothing against the ccs. It's a fun block game! I mostly had fun watching it and I'm sure they had fun playing!

I didn't mind desert duo being paired again but I did mind the way it made the duo super toxic in fanon. Canon wasn't really my thing in dl either but fanon was so much worse for me.

I don't care if people enjoy stuff where grian is the abuser or whatever, I just wish people didn't try to portray Grian as the one who was somehow the victim in this situation and also???? TAG YOUR ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS PROPERLY

I've stopped trusting desert duo/scarian fics after dl ESPECIALLY when most of them are grian centric because I never know if it's actually hurt/comfort OR if it's Grian being birderline abusive and Scar chasing after him, giving him comfort and forgiving him because he loves him no matter how many times grian hurts him.

Literally just tag the abusive and toxic shit properly ohh my godddddd

I would like to know more about Nao/Vyce please.

bless u for giving me the opportunity to yap

Nao/Vyce is a ship i thought up around Nao release bc i really loved her and after thinking a lot about the dynamic of these two i rly rly fell in love with it!! ( It's v much an opposites attract sorta thing; Vyce is a loud punk rock gal and Nao is reserved and responsible. Which I love already as a trope, but I think it goes past that even when you think more about it. Vyce is punk, she's knee-deep in the underground punk scene and with that, obviously, comes the politics of being punk and it raises a rly rly interesting question to me of what it means to fall in love with someone who not only works at a company like Clarion Corp, but is complicit in a lot of the bad shit going on, even if she is trying to fix things from the inside. It's really fascinating to think abt for me, especially as someone who is very deep in the punk scene myself!! A lot of angst potential and questions about punk ideology. Outside of that, they're just really fun to write together for me. Vyce and Nao are both just kinda messes, Vyce is a famous musician with enough anger and resentment that just seeing her sister is enough to set her off - like you can't convince me she doesn't have some sort of issues. While Nao is (in my interpretation at least) at the root of her character kind of naive? She's so attached to this idea that she can fix Clarion Corp if she just exposes Rasmus, despite being smart enough to know that probably isn't the case with a company like this. Along with that, she's pretty clearly meant to be depicted as a bit of a child prodigy, and there's just a whole lot of fun issues that come along with that. Vyce finds Nao and after all her dealings with awful music execs and people like her, she discovers someone who doesn't feel like a shark in the water just waiting for the opportunity to strike and bleed her dry for all her money. While Nao just finds someone so polar opposite to everyone she's met her entire life, so enthralled by business, her career, and goals with Clarion Corp that she's never really met someone like Vyce. Just kind of a loud dumbass whose goal isn't to climb some corporate ladder, but just to be able to play her music, skate, and be happy. It's jarring to both of them, I think, and what feels like the catalyst to them ever getting together in the first place.

But yeah! I just really really love this ship, and I could go on for way longer about it (probably will at some point but idk if ppl are interested in me yapping about ships). Maybe this made sense? Maybe it didn't? but hopefully, I'll get a fic for them out one day so I can at least show off a little of what I love about them. The things I have cooking for them rn are; -Messy Exes-to-Lovers thing -Silly fic of them being T4T and getting high (because god theyre also Both so trans to me. Vyce especially, but Nao is so fun to hc as either transfem or NB) -And a silly little enemies-to-lovers high school AU of delinquent Vyce getting tutored by Nao.

#omega strikers #So much yapping im sry sdghdshb #did not mean to go for this long but hopefully someone finds it interesting?

Ok so Idk what y’all said about that video, but I’ve deduced that this interesting piece of cut content was leaning towards:

1) Lola probably having broken up with Bugs

2) Bugs being in oblivous/in denial of her spite towards him and looniness

3) Bugs actually being very conscious of not being “in the spotlight”

4) and a more development between Bugs and Lebron’s icy tension (like a bump between two control freaks)

I honestly would’ve been into some elements of this version of the story being used instead of what we ended up with.

Lola being fed up with Bugs makes sense since in SJ, she really didn’t have looniness in her. She was very bland to say the least. This version of their dynamic would be a lot more tragic when you know TLTS exists (where their relationship there was thriving). But otherwise, it would’ve opened up a lot of opportunity for a more fleshed out version of SJ Lola.

Her being annoyed with Bugs’ looniness is understandable if you were in her shoes. Like, realistically, not just anyone could tolerate Bugs’ chaos day to day. Plus, she did seem like she was gonna get written with more emotional depth than what the looney tunes cast are usually on brand for.

So her having an added arc of wanting to permanently separate herself from the toons would’ve been so much more interesting for her character. And also the fact that Bugs seemed more overtly fixated on the basketball game being what will bring them back to the spotlight in a semi-metatextual sense.

Bugs in this video is a tad more unlikable and fallible than he usually is for better or worse. And he seems more at odds with Lebron. Even if it’s not really staying true to Bugs’ character — it would’ve been fun to see more angst and implied rocky relations between the toons. I would’ve preferred that over the whole basketball game format tbh.

Present day thoughts:

Lola was plenty looney in the original Space Jam. At the time of this original ramble, my standard for looniness was based on characters like Daffy and Wile E. Coyote. But nowadays, I've kinda concluded that she was just as looney as any other looney tunes love interest more or less. The movie went ahead and straight up retconned what little distinct personality she had.

Also, I still believe this premise would've been more interesting than the final story we got. I'm not particularly invested in the preservation of the looney tunes' characters in something as corporate as the Space Jam movies so might as well lean into the ooc-melodrama of it since the final film was just Lebron-lip service atp.

HSHQTASK059: FAREWELL !

when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?

i'm not entirely sure but i think late 2015. i was a sophmore in high school, i think i was in my high school's computer room killing time and looking for a new group. i don't remember which tag i was in. it could have been #royal rp but atst i don't think it was. i was sold immediately because i thought it would be awesome to play a finnish royal. i messaged the player who had the finnish princess because she had a wc up for a brother. i was so impatient and i didn't wait for her reply but applied for viveka. then she got back to me and i picked up a second character on my third day or something. i was super excited. that was almost 10 years ago. in those ten years i've graduated high school, worked here and there, acquired my master's degree, and now i'm working for the government. it's been an adventure !

which characters have you written over the years ?

viveka, viljo / vaughn, vanamo, viggo, minenhle, arnauld

what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?

i think i have three: farnauld break up summer, i think it was different from my usual stuff for arnauld and i enjoyed getting to write him at his most manipulative, and then at his most vulnerable. it was interesting and i was very active ! but i think i will have a massive soft spot for viani. it's so embarrassing that i'm just naming ships but idc, i'm an honest bitch. writing viggo as a young adult into an adult adult was really satisfying and i don't think it would have happened without armani / j. and then i have viveka and imogen. i think imogen was the reason why i stuck around at chambordrp. i really think i might have ghosted without the dynamic. it was the first angsty exes plot i EVER wrote and i was very happy with it. if i now read the stuff, i'm probably shed tears of blood because the writing was so bad. but the ship is also the reason why i ever started listening to halsey lmao kgbdkjgb

what about other people's plotlines ?

i really enjoyed reading annexei. there was a lovely amount of angst. i alsoooooo loved the beginning of layslan. it was full of drama and it was fun to follow ( okay i was a bit involved but i wasn't involved a lot ). there's been so many amazing plots and if someone now gave me a list of all the shit we've written together, i wouldn't be able to keep this section short. i will miss the energy :(

who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?

viveka and arnauld. i think viveka will have a special place in my heart because she is closest to a self insert from all of the characters i've ever written and what happened in her story i sort of learned from ? idk how else to explain it but i feel closest to her and she became a very strong figure in my life despite being fictional. i enjoyed writing her, especially the times when she showed her ugly side. in her i wrote some of my best stuff in the sense that the emotions felt real. arnauld was kind of a caricature so he wasn't that nuanced imo. but i had soooo much fun with him as you could probably see. when i picked him up after a year long break, i was sure i'd lose muse because writing characters in their 40s was not easy in a group with young characters. somehow the group made it work and the political plots also became more important and i could do so much !!! it was fun to write someone truly horrible. someone whose behaviour was disgusting. i am so glad that i was given the opportunities and allowed to write a villain into the group <3

if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?

this is too difficult !!!! for nostalgia i might choose this one event during chambord that was a trip to paris. it wasn't very eventful but i think... IT WAS SUCH A LONG TIME AGO. i want a piece of that youth.

a plotline that i enjoyed from start to finish would probably be the roman vs romanovs thing. it was complex and it moved surprisingly smoothly. it got dragged out but not as much as it could have gotten. i also loved the short skit when sylvia found the ultrasound pics. it was a funny week. and all of the nye events have been amazing. every first week of the past 8 years have been some of the funniest of my life. i also have a soft spot for the beginning of varbie. it was so natural and i don't think i've written anything like that afterwards. it was us saying yes to each and every idea. i loved their happy moments and their problems. there were times when they felt like real people with real feelings instead of just characters that were used to write a story.

is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?

i wouldn't edit anything but like isa said, i'd finish farnauld quicker. i would have loved getting to write a bit of fluffy farnauld. because it's something we never really got a chance to write because even when farnauld was doing well the shadow of tekla and the croys was present. fanni had a lot of issues, arnauld was busy hiding tobias... i'd also give vanamo and valias more attention. i know we could have accomplished more but my muse was flaky.

what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?

farnauld. i'm embarrassed since i've given it most of my time here at hshq but i still would have liked to write a bit more.

what is your favourite ooc memory ?

oooooooh it would have to be some of the crazy muns. like at the time the moments weren't funny or nice but the stories are now. and i think it also brought me and j and others closer to each other akfbdsjgbs evy mentioned honesty hours and i agree with that too ! and i have to give a special mention to naomi. idk which particular thing but she has the best energy <3

where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?

i'll be here and on discord so don't be afraid to shoot me a message if you wanna write ! but i do think this might be the time for me to retire from tumblr / rp scene.

what else would you like to say ?

i've known some of you longer than some of my best friends. you know a side of me that no one irl does. i don't think i will be able to express how grateful i am for these years and the HOURS we have spent writing together. not everyone gets to experience this and it's been an honor. i've had so much fun and i honestly don't see myself forgetting this place. i wonder what will be the thing in the future that makes me think of something that happened at hshq. this is a very bittersweet moment for me and this honestly feels worse than graduation. hshq was more than a rp group to me and i love you guys <3
