Could I get the Bucci gang and Diavolo with a ghost sibling? (like the one you did with Dio and the Crusaders) I really appreciate your writing and you've inspired me to try to write my own reader stories sometime!
Ghost Sibling HCs: Bucci Gang Edition! (+ Diavolo)
Oh my god that's so nice of you to say!! I think it's so cool that I actually inspired someone!! Ily so much anon!! <3 My only impression of Diavolo just has been his fight w Bruno, so I just wiki'd everything for him. So I apologise if he's not entirely in character!! Also, I genuinely had nothing for Abbacchio so he's not in this one. I really hope you don't mind
Warnings!: Goes into how reader died, Spoilers for Part 5, and Mentions of abuse from Giorno's part! Please stay safe !
Bruno Bucciarati
You were an older sibling of Bruno and you also stuck around with your father when the divorce came along
You commonly worked along with your father and ended up getting murdered when the gangsters infiltrated the boat
While your father was able to survive, you died at the scene. Your soul set to haunt the surrounding dock
Although it was tricky trying to see you due to the lingering fear of potential gangsters, Bruno always managed to find a way to visit you
It was hard for the younger Bucciarati, he cared about you as much as he did his father
Almost every visit was paired with a somber undertone, no matter how normal you tried to make it
But you were proud of Bruno and the man he's become today and you two still keep in touch
I do believe that as he gets older, he'd look at this place with a bit more fondness. Replacing the tragic memory of you and your father with all the times you tried to be there for him
When he became Capo, Bruno made certain to keep tabs on the small fishing village, making sure your resting place is in pristine condition
He's well aware that you might not get to pass on and he just wants to do what can to get you the best
Giorno Giovanna
You were Giorno's older step-sibling, having there be a 5-8 year age difference between the two of you
You were well aware of your father's abuse and did what you could to protect your little brother
Of course, your father didn't take too kindly to your behavior and it only made your punishments worse
One night, your father took out most of his anger onto you and it ended up killing you
Your soul latched onto Giorno, wanting to keep on protecting him even in death
You were there for him through everything and you were happy that he was able to find better family through the gang
And even in the gang, you were able to find your own peace in a way
(mostly) everyone welcomed you with open arms and it was a nice change of pace from talking to only Giorno for the past 10 or so years
Pannacotta Fugo
You were an older sibling, praised by your parents and used as an example for Fugo to follow
He never really resented you because of it though. You were helpful when he had the toughest lessons and treated him with the care that your parents never gave
I can imagine Fugo accidentally killing you during one of his rages, you got too close and he lashed out at you
As if he wasn't freaked out and panicked over your murder, seeing your ghost wasn't any better
He ignored any note of your presence, leaving it up to some hallucination rather than a ghost of all things
It took him a while to actually accept the fact that you're still with him and it was really awkward for a while
It made his guilt about the situation worse tbh, like it's been too long that he can't really apologize for what he did to you
And I don't imagine you being too happy either. Spending your eternity with your murderer and have him deny your existence for a couple of months does hurt
It's just one of those cases where your relationship couldn't be repaired after death, leaving you both to spend each other's company with an awkward weight on each other's shoulders
Both of you were never well taught in emotions so trying to cope with something as strange as this is not likely.
Narancia Ghirga
You were Narancia's twin sibling
you were just as loyal as him so you didn't bat an eye when he proposed that you both take Polpo's test
It's not like he would do it without you anyways, you two were a package deal
What he didn't take in account was you not surviving the stand arrow
It really did break Narancia seeing you dead and then seeing your ghost, looking like nothing happened
I feel like you haunting him furthers his denial of your actual death. That it doesn't actually matter since you're still next to him and able to laugh like nothing happened
It would be a combination of you and Bucciarati to help him with his grief, but he was still joyful to have you around
Even though you couldn't interact much with the physical world, he still invited you to his math lessons with Fugo and treated you as a valid member of the gang
Guido Mista
You were Mista's younger sibling that haunted his apartment
He'll admit that it was a bit freaky dealing with you at first, but he managed to adapt to it pretty quickly
He was able to live his usual carefree lifestyle, the added money from being apart of Passione was used for making the house a bit more comfortable
He felt bad that you couldn't leave and tried to make it more bearable
Plus he did it as an apology for all the times you cleaned up the pigsty that is his room
He also enjoyed that you were also free home security
He's made a couple of enemies in his time and having someone who can't be injured through typical means was helpful
He always enjoyed the occasional stories you told of the intruder's terrified faces at the fact that their guns and knives had no effect on you
But even if you were already dead, he'd ask for the faces of the idiots who disrespected and tried to kill to you.
Just because you're dead doesn't change the fact that you were still his family and he needed to teach those losers a lesson when you can't do it yourself.
Diavolo
Oh my god I'm so sorry for you
Listen, this man was not above attempted murder of his own daughter to hide his identity. You would've been one of his first targets
When he'd see that you never actually died, he would use whatever he had in his arsenal to get rid of you
But of course nothing worked, having to come to terms that you were a ghost
I don't think this could make his paranoia worse because technically you are gone and you can't go outside without him/Doppio, it's just a great inconvenience
He usually acts like you don't exist, yelling at you if you were to interact with the mafia boss
To Doppio you were only known to be a close friend of the boss and nothing else
He would happily chat with you, blissfully unaware that he was talking to a corpse
I think being anywhere near Diavolo in this state is a fate worst than death
Being around such a dark and negative energy already isn't good for the living, imagine how the dead feels
Plus not to mention the rough period of occasional murder attempts, all in new ways for Diavolo to get you gone for once and for all

How the Star Wars characters would take care of you when you’re on your period
Gender not specified (only mentioned that reader has periods)
Warnings: Mentions of menstruation (obviously)
Masterlist
Prequel 
Anakin Skywalker 
Since Anakin grew up with a single mother I believe he’d know quite a bit about periods, but the second your period sets in he starts panicking every single time 
Runs to the nearest store to get you any snacks/medicine you might need or want 
His top priority is getting you comfortable, so he’d put as many pillows and blankets on the bed/couch as possible 
Anakin knows he has his duty as a Jedi, but if you look at him with puppy eyes he would gladly stay with you 
The two of you fall asleep cuddling and watching a movie 
Obi-Wan Kenobi 
This man is organized, he’d probably know your cycle better than you do 
Constantly reminds you to take care of yourself when he knows your period is coming soon 
Obi-Wan’s conscious of your health and makes sure you eat just as much fruit as chocolate (not that you’re complaining, for some reason he always finds the juiciest fruits) 
Makes sure you always have a cup of hot mint tea nearby (seriously, it helps with cramps!) 
If he can’t be with you he tries to check how you’re doing as often as possible 
Padmé Amidala
Padmé knows that periods can be a pain in the ass, but she also knows that you’re tough and can make it through 
That doesn’t mean that she’s not caring! She tries her best to make the most of your time of the month 
When you tell her your period has arrived she often surprises you by working from home (if you live together) or anywhere near you for the day 
Brings the most high-end snacks with her
Padmé always treats you like royalty, but when you’re on your period even more so. I’m talking expensive face masks, massages and shopping sprees (if your’re up for it) 
Original 
Luke Skywalker
Luke’s the sweetest! Doesn’t really understand what you’re going through, but tries his best to be understanding 
Definitely gets tips from Leia on what to do, but also has a few ideas of his own 
Since he grew up on a desert planet the best way to treat you he can think of is a nice warm bath, filled with a bathbomb, flower petals and scented candles 
If you don’t feel good Luke will try to make you laugh or smile (laughter is the best medicine after all). Your favourite is when he reenacts  arguments between Leia and Han or Han and Chewie, imitating voices and all. 
Leia Organa
This queen princess has the perfect plan to help you deal with your period: Distraction 
Sometimes it’s helping her to plan the next attack or supply run, sometimes it’s preparing speeches together, sometimes it’s just talking about everything and nothing. The important thing is that you’re not alone. 
If you’re in too much pain to do anything Leia makes sure that no one says anything disrespectful. You work hard any other day, so she makes sure you get your well deserved rest when you need it. 
When she has time Leia gets somehow manages to get you a hot chocolate and a comfy blanket to go stargazing together. It might be too hot, cold or rainy on whatever planet you’re on, but she makes sure you’re as comfortable as possible. 
Han Solo
Han is a smuggler through and through, he always manages to get you a special tea or fancy chocolate. He keeps a box on the Millenium Falcon and gets you something whenever you start your period. 
Not the most understanding, but he tries and he’s improving. He’s simply not used to periods after spending most of his time with Chewie. 
If you need alone time he’ll let you stay in the Falcon and make sure no one bothers you, but if you want him to be with you he’ll sometimes take you to space, just to fly around and look at new planets from afar. 
Sequels 
Rey Skywalker 
Since Rey grew up on Jakku she never really learned about period cravings, but once she realizes that you crave a certain food (and she is able to give it to you) she’ll make sure you have more snacks than you can eat. 
One time she even tried to cook you your favourite comfort meal, but she ended up with a messy kitchen and burned food. Though once you scrapped the burned parts off it actually tasted pretty good. 
If you can’t get comfortable Rey would softly sing to you, usually just a few verses of a song she once heard and can’t remember all of, but she also made an effort to learn some of your favourite songs. 
Plays with your hair while cuddling. 
Finn 
The first time you got your period he pretty much freaked out, it’s not like they teach biology to storm troopers. But after Rey or Rose explained the basics he’s much calmer. 
Finn constantly asks if you need anything, and even if you decline he’ll show up a few minutes later with a glass of water or your favourite snack. He just wants to make sure you have everything you need. 
If you’re in too much pain to leave your room he’ll get you flowers. Sometimes they’re gorgeous exotic flowers, sometimes they die after a few hours because it had been raining too much, but you’re just happy he cares enough to pick any flowers for you, so you treasure them all. 
If he has time the two of you would just lie in bed while Finn plays with your hair and you tell each other about your day. 
Poe Dameron 
One word: Cuddles. Poe believes that there is no better way to make sure you’re comfortable than right next to him with your head on his shoulder and his arms around you. 
He’ll tell you the most extravagant stories while cuddling. Sometimes he swears they’re all true, sometimes he makes you guess which parts he only told to make you laugh. 
Your day to day life doesn’t often allow for rest, so when you had work to do throughout the day Poe wants to make sure that you’re at least getting a good night’s sleep and massages all the tension from your shoulders before bed. 
He searches the entire base for the tea his mother always drank when she had cramps. Turns out Leia keeps a big box of it for anyone who needs it and Poe brews you more cups than you can drink. 
-------
This was actually so fun to write! Though I some characters were more difficult than others I think I did ok. 
Let me know what you think and which character you’d want to take care of you when you’re on your period!

This Night Has Opened My Eyes
Kazuichi Soda X Reader
• smut !
• fem reader
• requested by my irl lmao (they also wanted some hcs so)
Tumblr media
“That asshole.. always getting in the way of Miss Sonia and I”
You smacked Kazuichi’s arm, scolding him,“You need to be nicer to him. He hasn’t done anything wrong”. We were in the Hotel Restaurant and it was obvious that Gundham and Sonia had gotten closer since the last trial. Kazuichi didn’t like that one bit. He sighed, taking another bite of food,“Look at him, though!”. He points at Gundham, who is allowing Sonia to pet his hamsters. “Only likes him because he’s a magical cult freak”. You shook you head, trying to explain.
“You think maybe it’s because, I don’t know, he isn’t weirdly obsessed with her?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“What I said”
Kazuichi growled, his expression toning down when Gundham approached you both. “You and Kazuichi seem to be two peas in a pod. Tell me, are you both partaking in an intimate relationship?”. Kazuichi was about to get defensive, you just knew it. “What’s it to you?,” he said, fist clenched. Taking a step back, Gundham explains,“I have no such interest in such topics. Rather, Sonia was curious”. Kazuichi’s eyes lit up,“Sonia’s asking about me?”. Gundham cringed and scoffed.
“You’re getting ahead of yourself over pure gossip. Pathetic”
“Watch it, Houdini. I’ll fuck you up”
“Bring it then, you penniless, mediocre mechanic. I’m awfully frightened”
“MEDIOCRE?! I’M A FUCKING ULTIMATE”
He launches himself toward Gundham, knocking him to the floor. Gundham gets a few small, yet hard punches in before Kazuichi lands the nastiest sounding backhand on his left cheek, making heads turn. As gasps can be heard around the room, Sonia runs to Gundham’s side as Kazuichi couldn’t handle himself afterward. “You! How could you?!,” Sonia scolded him. For the first time in forever, Kazuichi wasn’t having it. “How could I?! Fuck you!”. Kazuichi got up, leaving a hurt Gundham and an appalled Sonia on the ground. Gundham turned to you.
“Control your lab rat or I will”
You felt shitty, seeing Kazuichi go off that way. It wasn’t good at all, but by the looks of his response to Sonia, it seems to me like she won’t have to worry about him for a while now. He looked that mad. You thought to check on him, even if you were severely disappointed in him. You had no clue where to look for him and made a mental note of possible places where he might be: his room, Rocketpunch Market, and Electric Ave.
And so began the quest to look for him.
Checking in his room was too simple. When he didn’t respond, it didn’t surprise you that he wasn’t there. You knew he wouldn’t be. I headed off to the Rocketpunch Market. Even if he wasn’t there, you wanted to use the opportunity to buy him a bottle of Ramune. When you got there, there were voices present. That’s when you made them out to be the voices of Nagito, Fuyuhiko, Hiyoko, and Ibuki. “So we’re just not gonna discuss what happened back there?,” Nagito intrigued. Everyone sighed in relief. “Finally, you ask something smart,” Hiyoko said,“Yes, we should definitely talk about it! Kazuichi was totally out of line!”. You got closer to hear, without them seeing you. “Are you kidding me?,” Fuyuhiko spat,“I heard the whole thing. Gundham was being a dick. Had I been the one he disrespected, I would’ve killed that bastard!”. “Well, what did Gundham say?”.
“He called him ‘mediocre’, ‘penniless’, and ‘pathetic’. Kazuichi hadn’t once insulted him. If anything, Gundham approached him!”
“I don’t know,” Ibuki said,“That’s still no reason to be violent! Violence isn’t the answer, only heavy metal!”. “Ibuki, what?”. Ibuki shrugged. Nagito thought for a minute,“Did you even hear why the argument began?”. “Well, Gundham pressed him about his relationship with Y/N,” he said,“but Sonia had asked. He made a comment, hopeful Sonia was slightly interested in him. That’s when Gundham called him pathetic”. “Well, it is pathetic,” Hiyoko said,“But harsh”. The conversation then shifted to something completely different. “Why was he so defensive in the first place,” Hiyoko asked, adding,“he could’ve said ‘no’”. Nagito laughed, shaking his head. “Woah! A laugh like that implies, you believe there’s something going on there!”.
“Ibuki, always knows what to say. Always knows what I’m thinking”
“They belong together,” Fuyuhiko muttered,“Its obvious she likes him”. “Is it obvious or did Sonia tell you?,” Nagito asked,“Everyone, in 3..2..1”... and in union:
“Sonia told me”
Hiyoko laughed. “Yeah, but do you see how they look at each other when Kazuichi isn’t thinking about Sonia?,” she asked,“It’s funny, really”. You decided to come out and without saying a word, grabbed the drink and left. No one said a word as you walked by them. Pussies, all of them. Lastly, you took the long walk to the third island’s Electric Avenue.
Sure enough, there he was, putting together a computer (or a different device with a very small monitor of some sort; it looked handheld). You didn’t want to alarm him, for he might still be tense. You lightly tapped his shoulder. “Hey, Kazu”. He wiped his eyes rather fast, removing what appeared to be glasses. You knew he did this so he wouldn’t be seen crying. “Hi”. His voice was quiet and tired. You handed him his Ramune, making him smile. “What are you doing?”.
“Tinkering”
“Can I watch you?”
“You don’t wanna talk about anything?”
“Not unless you want to”
“Alright,” he said, continuing to modify the device,“Let’s talk”. “What are you doing to that computer-thingy”. He snickered. “‘Computer-thingy’...you’re cute”. Blushing, you were left dumbfounded. “Don’t say that!,” you scolded,“So what is it?”. “I’m making a radio,” he said,“The computer monitor part displays any words that have been picked up by the radio signals. I’ll also make it possible to communicate with them”. You were actually impressed by it.
“That’s so fucking cool”
“Thanks”
There was a bit of silence, then he sighed. “Look, Y/N,” he began,“I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. I don’t know what got into me”. You shook your head. “You shouldn’t be apologizing to me,” you explained,“You need to apologize to Gundham.. and Sonia”. He nodded and mouthed an ‘okay’. He agreed that as soon as he saw him and Sonia, he would apologize. Now that Sonia was in the conversation, he got onto that topic. “Sonia and I can’t be,” he said,“I’ve always known this”. You raised a brow and asked why he pursued her for so long.
“She’s a princess. She’s perfect and kind. She never full on said she isn’t interested in me, so I figured she’d go out with me out of pity”
“But wouldn’t that be a loveless relationship?”
“Not everyone deserves to be loved. I don’t. What I fear more than not being loved is being alone”
“You’d rather know someone is there than to be loved by them?”
“Yeah, it’s fucked,” he admitted,“but that’s over now”. While you were screaming internally, you still felt terrible about what he said. If only he knew how you felt. The question is if he feels the same. “By the way,” he began,“I made you something”. There was a small box next to him wrapped in old newspapers and a ribbon bow. “You and Hajime have been my only friends- well, comrades, on this island. So, I made you both these communication devices!”. You opened the box and a small walkie-talkie device was placed. He further explained.
“They work anywhere on the island. Hopefully, when and if we make it out of here, it works everywhere else. So, y’know, we don’t lose touch”
“I won’t let that happen”
He smiled, warmly. He didn’t say anything else. You were both in a trance, looking into each other’s eyes. “Hey!”. Ibuki suddenly came running towards the two of you. You both snapped out of it, seeing what she needed. She fell in front of you, dusting herself off. “No time to waste!,” she said,“Sonia planned a party at the the Titty Typhoon, what a name for a club, don’t ya think? Anyway, its mandatory, so we’ll see you there at six. Ibuki, out!”. Before you could say anything, she ran off. “Well,” he began,“At least now I could apologize to Gun-dumb”. You sighed as he laughed at his nickname.
Parting ways, you headed back to ensure you could shower and ready yourself a little. As you did, you were grateful for the small moment with Kazuichi. Him not wanting to lose touch? Getting over Sonia. It all made you feel so good and now you were head over heels. Finally, you were ready. You opened the door and there he was waiting for you. “Hi, Y/N,” he began,“I was thinking we should show up together, y’know? Avoid awkwardness from earlier”. You smiled and nodded. “Great, come on!”. He grabbed your hand, dragging you along with him.
You got there a minute or two late. When you stepped inside, the music blasted as loud as possible. You noticed the stares from Nagito and Fuyuhiko. “You should find Sonia, then we can deal with Gundham”. He agreed, checking out the room. Finally, he spotted Sonia near the stage. Cautiously, we approached her. “Hello, Miss Sonia,” he said. She turned around, her rather happy expression turning into something bitter. “What do you want?”.
“I just wanted to apologize for what happened earlier”
“It’s not me who you should be apologizing-”
“I also wanted to apologize for my behavior towards you that’s occurred from the time we’ve arrived. It was really inappropriate, so I’m sorry”
Sonia was no longer bitter, even if she had the right to be. She smiled, nodding,“Well, I guess when you’re being so nice about it.. yes, I forgive you. However, I really think you should apologize to Gundham”. Kazuichi agreed and explained to her that he was trying to find him. “Well,” Sonia began,“He hasn’t gotten here, but he will have gotten back any minute now!”. As if on cue, the doors burst open.
There he was, as tense as ever.
“Tanaka! I’ve been waiting for you,” Kazuichi said. Once in front of him, Gundham was appalled. “You again? I thought I’ve made clear that I was through with you!,” he scowled, shoving Kazuichi into the stage. “Gundham, let him finish,” Sonia pleaded. “Now you’re on his side? What’s wrong with all of you being so pathetic this day?”. Kazuichi got up, trying to explain.
“Just let me finish–”
“I have no reason to further discuss anything with a lowly, degenerate, and pathetic subhuman such as yourself”
“Wait-”
“God, Y/N, I thought you were smarter, but now you’ve fallen for him? You are equally as pathetic!”
“Y/N has a crush on me?”
“God, yes, she does! She is in love with you, you fool!”
“She... loves me?”
Heads were turning and the eyes belonging to them all faced you. There were gasps at first (like this morning), but now there were whispers and small chatter. “Ugh! What’s with you?!,” Sonia yelled,“Kazuichi was only trying tl apologize to you!”. Gundham was the embodiment of the phrase “a face of regret”. “Y/N,” Kazuichi began,“Is this true?”. Your breathing was starting to get worse and worse as you just stood there with an answer, but no courage to confess. You had no other choice, but tear up and say “Kazuichi, no, I-”. You were at loss of words. Then, you ran all the way back to your room.
Once there, you slammed your door shut and locked. You paced around a little, attempting to calm down. When you couldn’t do that, you simply collapsed onto your bed and screamed into the nearest pillow. Your throat hurt and despite having screamed into a pillow, it was still loud enough to hear the scream bounce around the room. You cried into it, for about 5 minutes, moped for 45, then cried again for another 10.
Bing-bong, Bing-bong!
It was time for bed, now realizing that if you didn’t die in your sleep, you’d have to face tomorrow. That was something you didn’t want to do. You began to get ready for bed. Suddenly, there was loud and demanding knocking on your door. You prayed, hoping it was someone here to put you out of your misery upon opening the door, so you opened it without hesitation. To your dismay, it wasn’t the next blackened.
It was Kazuichi.
Your face was all red again and before you could say anything, he spoke. “We need to talk”. You tried shutting the door, but before you could, he forced his way inside. He locked the door behind him. “What?!,” I yelled,“Why are you still here? I don’t want to see you! I can’t-”. He grabbed your face and pressed his lips against yours. “You aren’t one for words are you?,” he asked and after seeing you blush, added,“Guess I’m gonna have to show you”. He lay you down and began kissing you; you didn’t hesitate against him and wanted this to happen for so long. His lips felt amazing on yours. He began to kiss your neck, stopping at your chest. He lifted your shirt up and pulled down your bra, sucking roughly on your tits. He then made his way down. All that was left was-
“Kazuichi, what are you..?”
He unbuttoned your shorts and pulled them down tossing them aside. Looking up at you, he moved your panties to the side and began to work his mouth on your pussy. You whined at the feeling, shifting a little. He held you down, his tongue focused on your sweet spots. “You like that?”. You hummed, nodding frantically. His arms were locked around your thighs to hold you down. You took off his beanie and pulled his hair. He sucked your clit, whining from his hair being pulled. You knew he enjoyed it as he began to be sloppy. He moved away and wiped his mouth before kissing you again. “Sit on my fucking face,” he growled. You saw the fire in his eyes as he said so. “Are you sure?,” you asked him.
“Yes”
You straddled his face and he didn’t wait. He went at it, desperately this time. You moaned as your legs shook. You didn’t just want to sit there and feel stimulation. Noticing the bulge growing in his suit, you grabbed his zipper and pulled it all the way down. You pulled down his boxers and his hard member sprung out. You stroked him gently and spat on his cock. You heard his muffled voice grunt, finally deciding to blow him. “Oh, fuck,” he moaned, his nails digging into your thighs. He thrust upward as you enjoyed him even more. This wasn’t your first time, but it was the first time it felt so good. You stopped riding his face and lay down. He took off his entire suit and boxers, positioning himself between your legs. You’d given a blowjob before, but never actually had sex. You wanted it so bad. He pulled out a condom, slipping it on. As he did, you wondered where he managed to get one. He teased you with his cock in hand, pushing only his tip in, making you whine.
“Oh, you’re so wet”
He shoved in, stretching you out. “Fuck me,” you cried,“Please.. fuck me so hard”. He thrust into you hard, just as you had asked. It hurt for a minute. You shook, attempting to overcome the pain. Kazuichi gasped, feeling your pussy spasm around him. “H-Hey, are you okay?,” he asked. You nodded, your eyes watering; the sensation was overwhelming and in a really good way. His cock grew harder inside you, twitching. His thrusts were rhythmic at first. You can tell he was holding back, he didn’t want to hurt you. He wasn’t hitting your spot like before, so you wanted to help. “Baby, i-it’s not- fuck!”.
“I know, I know. Let me just-”
His hips went from a direct thrust motion, to motion as if his hips were scooping upward. You arched your back as he hit deeper and deeper. “Oh, you like that, don’t you?”. You moaned a little louder, covering your mouth as you were embarrassed and afraid someone would hear what went on in your room. He fucked you harder and asked,“Why don’t you scream for me baby?”.
“Someone’ll hear us-”
“Rooms are soundproof, be as loud as wanna be”
With that, you begged him to fuck you harder. He lifted your legs over his shoulders. His trusts were so sloppy, so messy it hit all areas of your walls, tightening around him. Your eyes rolled back, near frothing at the mouth. “H-ah! I needed this!,” you cried. You put your legs to his sides, grabbing him by the throat and shoving your tongue into his mouth. He moaned when you did, your grip on his throat tightening. The asphyxiation only further excited his cock.
You felt the butterflies in your stomach grow, you knew you were close. “Hh-oh, God, I’m gonna cum,” he groaned. Your kisses grew more aggressive as you wrapped your legs around him, pushing his pelvis deeper into you. “Harder, please,” you whined. He nodded, pounding you mercilessly. Once again, you choked him, dominating him with your kisses. Your pussy tightened around him. You bit him, feeling his dick twitch again. He was shaking and gasped, shooting his load into his condom. He collapsed on top of you, pulling out of your dripping pussy. “Oh my god...,” You sighed wrapping your arms around his neck, playing with his pink locks. His head lay on your chest and his arms were wrapped around your waist all tight.
“I’m sleepy”
You smiled and kissed him. “Thennnn... sleep?”. He shook his head. “We just had really good sex imagine if I go to sleep after that?”. You snickered, making a deal with him. “Fine,” you said,“I’ll forgive it if you hop into the shower with me”. He got up so fast.
“Say no more, princess. Let’s go”
Afterward, you gave him a place in bed, snuggling up with him the throughout the night.
Third person POV
The next morning, Hajime walked out of his dorm. He thought to check up on Kazuichi, seeing how abrupt he left the party last night. He knocked on his door, waiting. Oddly enough, there was no response. Hajime looked around, noticing someone in the distance. There he was, Kazuichi, walking out of a girl’s cabin? Now, the cabin belonging to none other than Y/N! He saw them laughing by her door, Kazuichi smacking her ass as she walked in front of him. Hajime backed up fast, hoping he wouldn’t be seen. He then noticed that they were not headed to the Hotel Restaurant. Now, it was starting to get strange and he had to tell the others. Once they weren’t in sight, he ran to the stairs then all the way up.
“Someone’s late”
Hiyoko stared at him. Hajime, out of breath, shook his head. “Don’t be too hard on him,” Nagito said sympathetically,“It looks like he had something to say”. “Well, I was gonna say something first,” Hiyoko was defensive as she cleared her throat,“I think rather than worry about the next blackened, we should worry about who’s fucking is gonna keep us up at night because I could barely sleep”. “Fucking? You mean, like, I don’t know... sex??,” Hajime asked. The girl’s nodded. “See, last night,” Sonia began,“None of us could get any sleep due to such erotic noises that went on till early in the morning. “Ah, yes,” Nagito said so casually,“Then I do know what you’re referring to”. Hajime decided to bring up what he’d seen.
“Kazuichi walked out of Y/N’s cabin this morning”
Everyone was paying attention now. “Oh my god???,” Hiyoko yelled. “There could be an explanation to that, y’know?,” Mikan whispered. “There’s only one explanation when you see him groping her and he doesn’t get punched”. Suddenly, two people stepped in. “So sorry we’re late,” Kazuichi said,“Y/N needed help..with...a busted pipe!”. “Aren’t you the Ultimate Mechanic? I never heard plumber,” Hiyoko scoffed.
“I do it all. Tinkering with stuff here and there”
“Right”
Kazuichi sat down, Y/N sitting at a completely different table. “So,” Nagito began,“That was quite the eventful night, right, Soda?”. Everyone looked around, having thought they had a world-less mutual agreement that it would be avoided as much as possible. “You mean with Gundham? I already tried apologizing, but-”.
“No, this isn’t about Gundham. This is about last night, last night”
“Nagito, what the fuck are you talking about?”
Nagito laughed, his hand motioning that he gives up and thats he’s over it. Gundham bit his lip, wanting to say something, eventually it came out. “Soda,” he whispered. “Yeah?”.
“You know for a room to be completely sound proof, not a single door or window should be open, right?”
“Uh, yeah?”
“Go outside and let me know if Y/N’s window was closed last night”
It finally struck him. His face instantly became flustered. “Oh,” he mumbled,“You guys heard all that?”. Everyone nodded. “Don’t be embarrassed,” Nagito attempted comfort,“If its in any consolation, it sounded like it was good. Hell, even I’m a little jealous”. Y/N still had no idea. That was the case until Sonia had talked to her. “So, Y/N,” she sat down by her,“Are you and Kazuichi together?”.
“Why would you think that?”
“Well, last night we all heard, um, something”
“Huh?”
“Well, it’s not that serious, but I do have a question”
“Yeah?”
“The rooms are soundproof, right? Well, are you sure you didn’t leave a door or a window open or something?”
Y/N choked on her own air. “H-How much did you hear?”. Sonia smiled nervously, laughing in a tone that was just as anxious. “Um, everything?”. Y/N put her hands over her face and screamed. Kazuichi approached her and kissed the back of her neck. “So, you fucked and that’s it?,” Hiyoko asked,“Like, nothing comes next?”. Before Y/N could answer, Kazuichi butt in. “T-That’s not true! I’ll take good care of Y/N and I’m gonna love her forever!”. He rushed his lips to Y/N’s, making her gasp. The tension and temperature grew within the room, as Kazuichi promised he wouldn’t let a thing hurt her.

“Hey.” Dabi’s rough voice cuts through the air drawing your attention to him almost immediately. He takes a seat beside you on the bar counter of the league’s dingy hideout. Another voice greets you; this time it’s cheery and girlish. You turn to your right seeing Toga take a seat beside you too. It doesn’t take a genius to know you are trapped. “The mission went well, huh?” Toga asks, eyeing your drink, there was nothing special about it other than the fact it was free. Whenever someone returned after a successful mission, Kurogiri always took it upon himself to make them a free drink in a form of praise. “Yes, it went well.” You replied avoiding eye contact with either of them. You knew what they were doing, they did this often. They liked to corner you and make you do things you didn’t like, they liked teasing you until the point tears were pricking the corner of your eyes. Their reason to torment you was always the same, they were taking a test to see how tough you really. A little different from the rest of the pack of criminals, you were a little timid and soft-hearted. Your meekness often perceived as cowardness of fear made Dabi and Toga think you were not the right fit for the group, maybe your quirk was strong but that was all the pros of having you. They’d repeatedly remind you but you knew better, they bullied you just because. The degenerates were no better than highschool bullies, maybe even worse.
“Good to see you are actually making yourself useful,” Dabi remarks abruptly making you shrink in your seat. You want retort but you have to say, he’s right. The majority of your mission ended badly, you were a new villain with no experience, it was not all your fault. “Oh, forget that!” Toga chirped, pulling you by your shoulder, forcing you to face her. “Do you know Shigaraki Tomura?” she asks. You look at her dumbfounded, not believing her question. “You know, the leader? With hands all over his body? Handsy freak?” Dabi encourages making you scoff. Were they seriously serious? Did they just ask you whether or not you knew your own leader, your employer? Of course, you did!
“Really!? I have never seen you talk to him, you always seemed to avoid him. So, I thought you didn’t know who he was,” she pouts explaining herself, “Are you scared of him or something?” Scared? Of Tomura Shigaraki? Of course, you were. You were terrified of everyone in the league but Tomura stood out the most. With his rude and cold demeanor, he intimidates you. The cold, pale hand which sticks to his face at all times adds to his eerie appearance, his vermillion eyes glowing from underneath it, sending death glares to everyone. A glance towards his direction is enough to tell you he's someone you don't want anything to do with. His quirk, his personality all adds to it. Besides, you wouldn’t be able to anyway, your shyness and fear of rejection would never let you open up to anyone else other than your friends. You don’t answer Dabi’s question, “I will take that as a yes,” he smirks cruelly. You try to retort but before you can say anything, he changes the topic.
“Tell me,” He calls out your name grimly, “are you a pussy?” What? “I don’t understand,” you ask nervously. The perplexed expression which scans your face makes Dabi cringe, he clicks his tongue to the roof of his mouth before speaking, “It’s a simple question. Are you a pussy? Or you got balls?” You are still confused but get the basic idea, they were here to bother again. You have a bad feeling about this. You know what you should do; give him a reaction he does not want so he can leave alone and stop bothering you but you also know your pride won’t surrender that easily. There is no way you would ever admit to him that you are a weak, pathetic coward. So naturally, you make the wrong decision. “No I am not a pussy,” the word almost feels wrong when you say it out loud. It's not as degrading as when Dabi had said it, the need to drag it down the dirt and toss it back up is missing when you say it and Toga notices as she snickers. Dabi quickly catching on sends you a devious smirk, “Atta, girl!” he pats your head jokingly, you push his hand away annoyed. They liked sending you praises as one would to a kid, you found it revolting but they enjoyed tormenting you. “We have an important job for you,”  toga begins, flashing her taunting canines at you making you shudder. Oh, this was up to no good.
“So here’s the thing,” Dabi begins, “Boss has been kinda’ very annoying recently, if you talked to him you’d understand,” eyebrow twitching at the comment you wonder whether it was necessary. “And it gets hard to work with him so would you mind helping out, ya’ know what I am saying?” You look at him still confused while he just gives you an oblivious look, what was he on about?
“Helping out?” you quote, curiosity ridden in your eyes. Toga snickers before leaning in towards you, her breath fawns over your ear as she whispers a dirty, little secret. “You know, get him all hot and bothered. Help your leader out here,” you almost choke at her words. There was no way in hell you would ever do that! You never even want to stand closer than three feet from your boss, what Toga is asking for is downright atrocious. You push her away from you, creating a safe distance. You feel your cheeks heat up in embarrassment before you start speaking, “There is NO way I am going anywhere near that man!” you exclaim confidently. Dabi looks disappointed but he’s not given up yet while Toga pouts, “What!? Why not?” she asks and without giving you a chance to speak she continues, “I always catch you staring at him! Do you not like him? I thought you did, so we asked you,” her tone is apologetic but she is not wrong. Often you would find yourself zoning out and staring at your leader. Shigaraki always attracted your eyes. He was like a mystery, there was no wonder you wanted to know more about him. About how he thinks, lives you want to know so much more. Your curiosity about it unfortunately gets pulled out by your fear of him, you can’t imagine staying in the same room as him. Too conscious about his judgemental eyes ghosting your figure and searching for flaws which would make him want to leave you.
“I don’t like him, though.” You finish. At this point, you believe that you have beaten Toga and Dabi at their own game as you watch their faces fall. You feel pride enveloping you for the second time that day knowing that you had the crazy duo speechless. “Okay then,” Dabi still has to say. He throws a  devious smirk, “It’s a dare. I dare you to seduce Tomura Shigaraki.”
You are speechless. “C’mon, you’re not a chicken are you? You do this and I’ll do a dare you give me,” was he really ‘daring’ you to seduce the most dangerous man you have ever met for fun? “I- How would I even do that?” You ask. Your experience in the field of ‘seduction’ was absolutely zero. You couldn’t just walk up to someone and ask them to sleep with you. They have to be mocking you, right? This was a joke- a silly little prank, right? “Aw, c’mon! You don’t even have to go all the way, just kiss him maybe a hand job or something then leave! Shouldn’t be that much of a problem.” Toga spoke sending you puppy dog eyes making you cringe, “You are not going to do it?” Dabi ponders his brow raised, his eyes wait patiently for your answer. You think for a moment if you say no to them; you know for a fact a nasty rumor about you will go around no doubt ruining your reputation and if you say yes..well, you get to kiss your boss and as Dabi promised: you could ‘dare’ him to do anything. Maybe you will make him dance around naked.
“Fine, I will go..” The way their faces light up sends a cold shiver down your spine and your gut kicks in telling you it's a bad idea, but you cannot take your word back now. You reluctantly head into the dark hallway to your leader’s room where he had been locked in since the morning. Probably playing games or making plans for the league, you couldn’t care less. You knock on his door, fidgeting with your fingers while you wait for him to open the door, you didn’t want to barge straight in. It would be very disrespectful to your leader and you’d die before you know it. “He is not going to open the fucking door! Just go in.” You hear Dabi’s faint voice, guess they have been counting your steps. You hesitate a moment before reaching out to the doorknob, you twist it and it unlocks. A nervous sigh leaves your lips as you push the door ajar, stepping into the room and closing it behind you gently, trying your best to not make noise. You find Shigaraki adhered to his devices, his focus is completely planted on the game he plays. The bright screen deceiving shots of violence while he grunts and curses into his earphones. You stand there, next to the door, taking in his entire and it’s a mess. The lights are out, the only source coming from the iridescent screen of Shigaraki’s gameplay. There’s trash everywhere, his bed hasn’t been made. The covers and blanket almost fall off his bed, there are a desk and chair in the room which hasn’t been organized either.
Damn, he really be living like this.
You wait for Shigaraki to notice and you presume he won’t be noticing you until you let him know you are there but you are proved wrong as he glances in your direction, the most astonished expressions falling on his face. Shigaraki sits without father covering his face so you can see his features. Little scars are running everywhere, two significantly larger ones stretching across his left eye and lips. He scans your body head to toe as you shirk back under his heated gaze, “What the fuck are you doing here?” he asks and honestly you wonder the same. You don’t answer his question but move forward towards him changing the subject entirely, “Mr. Shigaraki, there’s something I need to tell you…” You stand right in front of him, your knee touching his as he is seated down on his gaming chair holding his control with his pinkies lifted. Your face heats up in embarrassment as you stare down at him with glassy eyes, your heartbeat picks up with him looking back at you with those murderous, red orbs confusion still written all over. You can get that he has picked up the slightest idea about your here as his cheeks pinken the closer you move to him. Your hand slides up his tight slowly, settling close to his crotch making him grunt. You lean down until your face level with his, “Shigaraki…” you utter softly before connecting your lips with his. The action catches him off guard as his pinkies fall on the controller turning it into dust within seconds, but he lets himself get lost in the feeling of your lips squished against him. Honestly, he has no idea what’s gotten into you but he is so glad he’s getting to experience this. Your lips are soft, and warm against his cold and chapped ones. The comfort he feels when your lips mold against him sends him into heaven, it’s a feeling he could use too, a feeling he wants to keep to himself. As you keep him hungrily, he takes the pleasure of running his hands over your body. With his pinkies raised his hands map across your curves, ass, and end upon groping your tits making you gasp into the kiss. Shigaraki takes this as his chance and nips at your lips, drawing a pained moan from you before pushing his tongue into your mouth. You let out choked gasps as his tongue licks away into your mouth greedily, you try to put up a fight but it’s no use. Your leader is much rougher, he kisses you like it's the end of the world. He is almost feral at the way he used your mouth leaving you no place to strength making you submit to him. When he pulls away from the kiss to regain his breath, he wastes no time in throwing you on his dirty bed and climbing over you. You look up at him, his cheeks flushed, eyes dark and clouded with lust, you remind yourself to thank Dabi and Toga later.

Hi just wondering if you’d ever consider writing for chuuya from bungo stray dogs and nishinoya from haikyuu. I love them both so much and you’re my favourite author and I’d really love to see how you’d write for them if you’re up for it
sorry @ all my other fandoms it’s literally the way i dropped everything to write this LMFAO
hiya!! i’m sosos happy this came through i remember a while back a lovely anon requested dazai from bsd and i completely forgot about it so aaaa!! so sorry if you’re reading this that anon! but nevertheless! i really, really adore chuuya and this is in fact my first time writing for bsd and chuuya for that matter. i’m so flattered anonie, thank you <3 i hope i done him justice :) p.s: i got a little bit carried away and was planning to post nishinoya in this one too but.. yeah. be sure to look out for him cause i’ll post a separate piece for yuu! enjoy.
nsfw content below! if you’re new here, please read my disclaimer here before proceeding. thank you!
a note: logically, this fanfic makes no sense because chuuya doesn’t wear his sexy vest + hat outfit until after dazai has left the port mafia so... don’t think about logic, k? (i think so anyway? it’s been a while)
-
there’s a clink of ice dragging against glass that chimes through the air. inside the glass seems to be a transparent liquid of sorts, leading anyone of the ordinary to believe that it may at least be vodka. in actuality, it’s just lemon flavoured water with some ice. it’s not like anyone would pick up his drink to take a sip anyway-
“oh? it’s not vodka? ehhhhh, are you trying to look cool, chuuya?” dazai takes a bold swig of the beverage before setting it back down onto the coaster. he bears a large grin that stretches from ear to ear, eyes lightly fluttered shut as he hums sardonically. there’s a spring in his step as he traverses beside chuuya and hops himself up onto the window, legs dangling and ankles fluttering.
“what the hell do you want?” chuuya barks, eyebrows creasing in disgust.
“what do i want? hm. like right now? you know.. i could probably go for some coffee right now! a cappucino? no- maybe latte? oh, wait, what about a flat white-“
“dazai.” chuuya hisses, spinning around from his chair to face him.
“seriously. cut the bullshit. why are you here, huh? i’m not having a tea party with you, so if you’re here to waste my time, leave.”
“ugh, you’re always so to the point. a little smalltalk and banter never killed anyone.”
“it killed my brain cells. spit it out.”
“chuuuyaaa~ you’re so meaaaan!”
there’s a scowl that chuuya pierces through dazai so heavily to the point where the latter is forced to drop his foxy act.
“we’re taking a woman in for questioning. she refuses to stay anywhere that’s not a proper bedroom, said that she’s more than willing to comply otherwise.”
“pffft, what a fucking stuck-up princess. so what? you’re sticking me with her?”
“believe me, you’ll thank me. i can’t take her. i’m out on a job in a few.”
“i’d never thank you but alright. i just have to keep an eye on her until tomorrow?”
“even you won’t be able to screw this up.” dazai remarks as he slides off the window, straightening himself before beelining towards the door.
“what the hell is that supposed to mean? you tryna say something?”
“uh-huh. anyways! see you later.”
as dazai heads outside, he takes one last glance at chuuya from over his shoulder.
“alsooo, can you keep the noise down to a minimum? everyone knows your name here already-“
“shut up!”
“yeah, okay~”
the door quietly shuts with a thud and chuuya leans back in his chair, staring up at the ceiling for a while.
within a couple of moments, he notices the shuffling of footsteps outside his room. instead of looking like a moron who fell asleep with his eyes open, he swings around to his desk and continues to gloss over the details of his next job.
an unfamiliar feminine voice rings out from behind him, causing his interest to peak.
“oh, um, thank you!” you awkwardly bow to the guards? the uh, big scary people with guns? (probably guards) who escorted you up to the room. you take a step inside and let out a small squeak before the door behind you shuts.
and locks.
“eh?”
“what’s with the ‘eh?’” chuuya snorts, not making the effort to turn to face you just yet. he goes to take a sip of his drink and wrinkles his face in disdain when he realises the being that tarnished it beforehand. using his right hand, he crosses over his left and effortlessly pours the beverage out the window. you only gawk at him with utter confusion. couldn’t he have just gotten up to go to the kitchen or something? do they even have a kitchen?
you conclude that standing around stiffly and eyeing the man at the desk isn’t a good look on you, so you move towards the bed. sure you said you wanted an actual room, but, you didn’t think it would be someone else’s.
“may i?” you motion towards the bed. chuuya briefly flickers his attention to you in his peripherals.
“sure.”
you scoot onto his bed, making yourself comfortable. you slide your back up against the wall, leaning yourself into the wall on your right as well. you decide to glance out the window, counting by the different coloured cars in hopes for either time to pass or the mafioso man to offer you some form of entertainment. maybe a book? oh, shit, uno cards? can you even imagine playing uno with him? this guy would flip his desk before the first round’s finished.
you laugh to yourself, and within a split second, you immediately lament your existence.
“what’s so funny?” chuuya implores, setting his pen down. you haven’t even turned yet and you can feel his gaze burning holes into you.
“nothing.” you blurt out.
his sigh fills the room as he picks up his chair before setting it down beside you. chuuya slumps down with his legs spread apart, torso cradling the back of his chair.
his slender and bony hand reaches out, ice cold fingertips from his beverage send you into a state of alarm as he clasps your chin before yanking your head to face him.
“i don’t tolerate bullshit. quite frankly, i won’t repeat myself to you.”
“the least you can do after strolling in here like a prestigious brat is listen to me. i don’t know what shit you pulled to get involved with the port mafia but-“
chuuya grazes his thumb over your bottom lip, pulling it down. he peers down at your teeth and the beginning of the pink in your mouth.
“what were you snorting about?“
there’s a desire that fuels your extremities and every nerve in your body. you don’t know why, but fuck, this man makes you wanna act like an intolerant brat. and you think, what’s the harm? if you’re gonna get picked apart by the port mafia, you might as well start early.
and bonus points? he’s hot as shit.
“that’s none of your business, is it?” you grin over his finger, valiantly lapping and curling your tongue before circling the muscle over the tip of his thumb.
chuuya screws his face at you. his eyebrows furrow in turmoil at the blatant disrespect and the corners of his lips crinkle in distaste. your eyes lock with his deep blue orbs and you smirk at the arousal that glosses over them.
chuuya uncurls his hand from your chin before easily kicking aside his chair. it goes clattering halfway across the room.
“down on your knees.” chuuya snaps, tone deep and laced with danger. you oblige, scooting off the bed as fast as humanly possible before settling down onto your knees.
you eye chuuya as he grabs ahold of his belt. he’s extremely short, for one, so you can see why he’d ask you to sit like this. he’s slender, but not underweight. there’s obvious implications of built muscles along his body, especially his thighs and arms. there’s something about the black fingerless gloves that rock against his smooth and pale skin that makes your stomach stir.
“what are you staring at?” he hisses before tossing aside his belt.
“isn’t that obvious?” you remark, licking your lips.
chuuya flashes you a smirk before zipping his fly open. using his gloved dominant hand, he decorates your face by slapping his thick dick against your cheek. his cock is piping hot against your face. you swallow with anxiety when his size is made apparent to you. he’s got a girth that’s wider than average, with a length of around 7 inches. maybe 8? you’re not exactly sure. you lick your lips at the deep red tones that flush his pretty cock.
“i’ll wipe that shitty attitude clean off your face. you’re reminding me of that dumbass clown.”
“eh? an ex or something? you’re bisexual? that’s freaking amazing! happy pride mont-“
“shut the fuck up. you spew way too much.” chuuya barks before shoving his cock down your throat mid-sentence. you gag and sputter around his length, fuelling his ego.
he grabs ahold a fistful from the back of your head, using your strands to roughly pick you up and back onto his cock. your wrists scramble to his hips and you try to push him back, to whimper that it’s too much and too sudden for you.
“where’s that cocky big girl attitude gone now? you can’t suck a dick? almost makes me feel bad for you.”
you whine and spill muffled complaints but it only fuels him further. it sets chuuya’s veins ablaze, controlling you like this.
you weren’t even sure it would be possible, but he manages to brush his tip against the back of your throat. your vision blurs, tears streaming out from your gag reflex. your nose runs and you can only sniffle constantly. drool and saliva envelopes the underside of his shaft, leaving your chin and some of your neck soaked. you wrinkle and wince your nose at the small stubble that’s slowly beginning to grow back near his base. through your tear stained lashes, you look up at chuuya like the good girl you are, lips wrapped around his dick and all.
“oh you god damn kinky bitch” he hisses out through a whine, features melting in compassion.
in that moment, recollection flashes in his eyes. he slides himself out, and a loud wet slurp fills the room. through your blurry vision and fit of coughing, chuuya grabs the long abandoned chair, spinning the back support until it lands the right way. he takes a seat, cock painfully erect and glistening in the deep orange sunset light.
his slender and pretty long fingers curl in a “come here” motion. his other hand leans into his jaw and he bears a smug grin. the harsh lighting from outside pours in so that only half of his face is visible, even then, you can still make out the fact that he’s about to absolutely fucking ruin you.
“ride me.”

Klaus in season 2
First of all, let me point out that I love season 2, I really do. It's a great season for a great show. This post is very critical but it's not a reflection of the whole season itself, just of one aspect.
I know a lot of people are as upset as I am about how Klaus was treated in season 2. He's my favorite and I hated how the writers and characters alike treated him so I'm just here to vent.
Not that everything was awful, no, Klaus is still my favorite, he still had some amazing scenes but...
I get that not every character can be center stage every season when you have a show with 7 main characters, I really do. I'm not upset that Klaus had less protagonism because I know he'll get his chance to shine again and be in the spotlight in the future, but... That doesn't excuse the bullshit that was done with Klaus this season.
Everything around his arc and his powers in season 1 was ignored in return for turning him into comic relief with a dash of unresolved ship angst.
I don't like how his constant suffering is ignored with no catharsis or endgame or acknowledgement, or how his obvious kindness is downplayed by every character.
I don't like how him falling off the wagon was approached.
I don't like how the cult thing was played for laughs and he was called narcissistic and selfish when he was obviously trying to do the right thing (and failing) over and over.
Yes, starting the cult was a bad idea but he clearly didn't mean for it to get out of hand, he was just trying to survive and looking for support and validation anywhere he could in a strange new environment and he tried very hard to end it but they never let him. The cult was smothering him, disrespecting his personal space (and his actual requests not to be touched or to be left alone), invading his home without consent, objectifying the hell out of him, and so on. This would have been perfect to play out a parallel with how the ghosts never leave him alone, it's a sugar coated version of the horrible hauntings in s1, it would have been the perfect way to have his siblings realize how hard he has things, but instead he's painted as selfish and the cult plotline had zero payout or meaning in the overall plot.
I don't like how his powers were either nerfed to avoid stealing the spotlight (and how some of his original comic powers were co-opted by other characters).
I don't like how one of the biggest key points of his powers that shaped 29 years of his life was suddenly swept under the rug this season and treated so lightly.
Seriously, not a single ghost around him other than those two split-second scenes? This guy ruined his life with hard drugs just to escape the constant presence of the dead that are literally everywhere but suddenly in season 2 they are nowhere, suddenly the very thing that led him to desperation (and near death in more than one situation) before is gone, it makes light of his addiction and suffering, it makes his struggle with sobriety come off as lazy.
Remember Hazel and Cha-Cha's ghosts? Where are Five's ghosts? The cult's ghosts? Ghosts are supposed to always be around whether he wants them or not. Remember the how the voices haunted him even in the bath and underwater as soon as he started coming down from the high? Where's that now? Sure, maybe he could have learned to control what ghosts he sees or hears but we saw nothing of that, no struggle, no learning, no evolution, it's never mentioned and Klaus no longer seems to care, suddenly the only ghost around is Ben and the only power Klaus is developing is the ability to physically interact with Ben or make Ben corporeal (and that's all about Ben, not Klaus). Even possession, a power that should belong to Klaus or at least be controlled by him, is given to Ben without explanation.
They gives us a tiny glimpse of Klaus at peace with ghosts and in control of his powers in the opening of the season and then they annul it completely and show absolutely no explanation for it. It's such lazy writing! It's like they don't even know how to write Klaus unless he's high or drunk, it's like the writers see that as his only personality traits and not as something he struggles with.
I don't like how his reaction to Ben disappearing was so glossed over and barely addressed.
They were glued to each other (willingly) for 16 years. Ben was the voice of Klaus's conscience, his only support and his best friend, everyone else mourned Ben 17 years ago but not Klaus, he deserved to mourn and we deserved to see more a 2 second bed scene of Klaus looking kinda sad and a 20 second conversation about the loss of his best friend that was less about grief and more about guilt.
I don't like that he had no role in the final battle, even if they didn't want him to stay the spotlight, they could still have given some role, they could still have given him a chance to fight Lila too (perfect moment to show Lila being freaked out by the dead and give the siblings a glimpse of Klaus's burden), or at the very (VERY) least they could have given a plausible reason for him to not participate (like being injured or disabled early on or having to take care of someone else) but no, he, the trained vigilante and war vet, was just hiding and cowering.
Speaking of which, I get that Klaus is acting like a hippy pacifist in this season and he's crippled by PTSD but there are so many scenes where he should have at least shown his fighting skills for self-defense because you cannot tell me he had no fighting skills, he was trained the same way as his siblings and he was a soldier in an active battlefront for 10 months without dying, he HAS to have excellent skills. They just made him a physical doormat this season, he never reacts other than getting hit, hiding or running.
The Dave plotline was the only thing well addressed and I suspect we'll see the proper resolution to that in the next season.
I don't like a lot of things about how Klaus was handled this season but it's not that everything was awful, I still love Klaus and he did have great parts this season too and some interesting development.
I did love seeing him bond and interact with his siblings, I did like seeing him be incredibly supportive and affectionate to his family (even when they don't notice or appreciate it and even when it's just too further another sibling's plot), I absolutely adore how he dished out romantic wisdom with his sisters.
Seriously, I really did like him being supportive and affectionate- Allison with her love life, the dead Swede, her worries for her husband, the danger of the riot, getting her husband out of jail, etc; Vanya by including her and being affectionate, with her love life as well and by being honest with her all the way; Diego by trying to comfort him after Reginald emotionally devasted him, hugging him and trying to lighten the mood and show affection in other scenes even after all the times Diego is dismissive of him and accuses him off still being intoxicated; etc, etc, etc. Yes, he was rather mean towards Ben this season (refusing to tell the family he was there, ignoring him, using him to impress people or as a shield, etc) but he was also kind to Ben by keeping him corporeal often, letting him possess him despite how horrible it felt, again with Ben's love life as well by acting like a wingman, etc.
Klaus is naturally kind and affectionate, he's caring and protective of his family, his methods may be terrible and he may mess up a lot but his intentions are always good. This season picked up on that from s1 and highlighted it even more. That was a positive thing but the fact that nobody in the family acknowledges this, the fact that they still dismiss him as intoxicated and narcissistic, that was AWFUL.
Klaus is still self-destructive and deeply traumatized but both of those things were glossed over or played for laughs, I could handle the family dismissing him if these issues were given the importance and respect they deserved and there was an endgame or some payoff but... Nope, we got none of that.
Honestly, it just really bothers me that all the serious things established in season 1 were completely ignored just so Klaus would be lighter and less likely to steal the spotlight. I just want the multiple traumas and secrets that he's keeping from the family to be addressed, I want his struggles with his powers and sobriety to be validated and addressed instead of played for laughs or only remembered when it's convenient, I want to family to start showing any little bit of understanding or concern or appreciation for him (if they could do it for Vanya this season then they can do it for him too).
What I wouldn't give for Klaus to just finally snap in season 3 and be the accidental cause of the next possible doomsday just so the family would finally be forced to take him seriously and give him the right kind of support and attention.

so i just read your reply to the post about jenny/giles headcanons about a band candy au where they dont vibe at all and im absolutely obsessed with it pls tell me every detail tbh
I don’t think I could – WELL IF YOU INSIST! I’ve read a lot of fanfic where Jenny is alive during Band Candy and that she vibes with Giles’ rebellious side. Personally, I don’t think Jenny was a big hell raiser in her youth - at least not in the punk rock/overt-middle-finger-to-The Man kind of way Giles was. Loyalty is huge for Jenny’s family. We can see from her brief interactions with Uncle Enyos that tradition is the norm (I want to be very mindful of my words here as I don’t know much about Romanian culture but I do know BtVS did not do a great job portraying it). In my mind, when Jenny was a kid and young adult, she was naturally curious and an independent thinker, but towed the line between her charming nonconforming nature and being outwardly disobedient. The main reasons Jenny found that balance was because 1) family loyalty was engrained in her from a young age, and 2) even though her family’s old fashion style wasn’t her thing, she loved learning about her culture’s connection to magick. She would never risk losing her connection to her family and the occult by acting the way Giles did in his youth. Time goes on and as a young adult (I always thought of Jenny as being in her early 30s in the show and I’m unsure of how tech evolved in Romania, so I don’t have a set timeline in my head, but obviously sometime before Sunnydale) she finds out about this growing field of computer science and it blows her freaking mind! She loves the concepts: connection to others, access to knowledge, constantly striving for improvements and upgrades. When she learns about technopaganism and the pairing of the occult and computers – she’s sold. It’s the community and field she had always looked for. A way for her to immerse herself in magick and the occult and all through this new, modern, and more accessible medium. It’s the old and the new. While she knows she found her bliss, her family is not thrilled about it. Techopaganism is not the worst thing as it is still based in the occult, but it is too new, too gimmicky, it is not really approved by her family. While she knows her technopaganism has caused a riff between them (which ultimately leads to her getting the famously unwanted “watch Angel” duty), she secretly loves getting to be safely rebellious. Again, it tows the line between her nonconforming nature and outward disrespect. And that is Jenny’s version of being a rebel! It’s not the anarchy of not caring which is classic Ripper, it is the courage to be who you really are because you care. It’s a way for her to be her own person, lean into this burgeoning area of technology while still holding her culture and customs near and dear. And while I think Jenny’s journey to that place of self-actualization was not anywhere near complete when she was a teenager, I think those seeds were there. Teenage Jenny would take one look at Ripper and head for the hills. He would seem like a total ticking time bomb of bad news and Jenny would not risk her relationship with her family and the occult over a mess like that. Maybe I could word vomit more later on how I think the events of Band Candy would have gone down with Jenny there?!

Mystics, Chapter 10
When Arch becomes hired on at Mystics by Lyrem, everything seems to be going well- their life nearly becomes perfection. Soon enough, however, Arch realizes that perhaps not everything is as perfect as it seems….
Directory: [chapter one] [chapter two] [chapter three] [chapter four] [chapter five] [chapter six] [chapter seven] [chapter eight] [chapter nine]
Tag list: @myst-in-the-mirror
CW: misgendering of a nb character, creepy/intimate whump, psychological whump, shipwreck mention.
CHAPTER TEN: GEMINI PT II
        Charlotte would not hesitate to speak up when she found herself uncomfortable. Usually.
        Shortly after Arch had left for their meeting, Charlotte tidied around. She was left to clean up the discarded rompers around the living room and as she repacked on of the many clothing store bags she had brought home, there was a knock at the front door. She opened it, expecting a politician to be making their rounds or a band group from the high school to be asking for donations. Instead, she found Lyrem, smiling back at her with his unique charm. He was a bit red in the face, possibly from spending too much time in the sun.
        “What are you doing here?” She asked, already finding herself with a sickening feeling in her stomach from being near this unholy man.
        “Looking for Arch, of course,” he replied, “Are they around?”
        Charlotte paused, looking for any sign that the man might be joking with her.
        “No, Lyrem. They left a half hour ago to meet with you at Mystics,” She said unamused. “… Like you had asked them to.”
        Lyrem lifted a hand to his mouth, realizing something.
        “Oh dear. Oh dear…”
        “What?” Charlotte asked, becoming impatient.
        “Well, I had sent two messages,” Lyrem pulled out his phone, scrolling through their conversations. “One to say that there was a store meeting, and a second telling Arch that I would come by for a chat instead of-
        Oh… It seems that I had forgotten to send it.”
        Charlotte huffed, rolling her eyes at the old man. “Go find her then!”
        “Them.”
        “Oh, for goodness’ sakes, them.” She corrected. “You know I’m getting a little tired of you demanding so much out of them. Who runs a store downtown past nine o’clock on a Sunday evening, anyway?”
        “Someone who is desperate to stay out of a church I suppose.” Lyrem looked up from his phone. “There, I sent them a message to come back.”
        “What? Why? Go out and meet them. They’re probably downtown already!” Speaking sense to this old man was becoming more than a chore.
        “I would but to walk that far is not something I can manage anymore. Old bones, you know,” He smiled kindly at Charlotte. “Would you mind if I came in for a sit down?”
         Sit in your car, she thought.
        He was an old-fashioned sort, obviously craving human connection in the oddest of ways. What Arch saw in him as any sort of mentor, she would never understand. Reluctantly, she nodded, leading him through Arch’s sprawling makeshift bedroom and into the small kitchen where sunlight was still peeking through the trees by the window.
        “Would you like something to drink?”
        “A glass of water would be lovely.”
        Charlotte couldn’t help but smile patronizingly as she handed his glass to him. Tap water. He set it down on the table in front of him.
        “Would you like to hear a story while we wait for Arch to arrive?”
        Charlotte leaned against the refrigerator with arms folded. She cocked her head at him. She really didn’t care what he had to say or what stories he wanted to tell.
        “Sure,” she smiled.
        “Ah, wonderful. I love telling this one.
        The year was nineteen seventy-two. I had been travelling Europe for several weeks, however, for what particular reason I ventured out there for, I can no longer recall.” He cleared his throat, sipping the water from the glass on the table, taking his time. “I came upon a lovely town on the Grecian coastline. I had found a little place to stay there and enjoyed my time immensely with the local people. I stayed with a family who offered me a small room of their house for only a few pennies a night, and word eventually got around that I was looking for work in the area, seeing as I was too content living there to leave anytime soon. 
        It was one cloudy morning when a man woke me from a slumber; said that he had a job for me and would pay me quite well if I dared accomplish the task for him. He was in the delivery trade, you see; he would connect like-minded collectors and clients and deliver the items as a third-party investor that would keep both sides happy.”
        Charlotte had already lost all interest in the story, resorting to rub the bridge of her nose as she closed her eyes.
        “The package he had for me to deliver was none other than a statue of Perseus to be signed to a buyer on a remote island several knots out from shore. It was odd to me that he would not do the deed himself since it seemed simple enough, but alas I was not willing to miss my chance to collect on a decent paycheque.
        Out on the water, I followed his map. I took the necessary precautions, found my bearings, and yet being out there for an entire day I still could not find the island that this man had spoken of. It was marked clearly on his papers for me, and so I sailed throughout the sea until dusk, searching for it. In the evening of that fateful night, unwilling to turn back as I was quite stubborn; I had encountered a freak cyclone on the water. A fearsome storm that roiled in the abyss of the deepest parts of the sea. The wind and the rain blew so hard into the boat that it felt like I was being shot with thousands of miniscule ice pellets. I couldn’t see a damned thing out there. Water tornadoes threatened to capsize the boat more than once and left me to drown in the torrential depths of the Mediterranean.
        Then, I awoke, washed ashore the next morning. The man who had hired me to take the statue out stood over me as I opened my eyes on the rocks. I didn’t feel as though it was something I should have survived, and yet I did. Content with the job I had done for him he presented me with a large envelope containing over six hundred Drachma, and then he simply went on his way. At the time, it was a tremendous amount of money to me. If I could go back now, I think I would have demanded more for the risk it took to my life.”
        Charlotte rolled her eyes, thankful that the story had come to its end. But then she couldn’t help but wonder aloud.
        “What happened to the statue?”
        He lifted his gaze to her. “Hm. What about the statue, dear?” He asked.
        “Did it break? Did you lose it, and the boat in the storm?”
        He shook his head. “Oh no, no. The statue was delivered.”
        “You said you washed ashore after the storm”-
        “I had done what he had asked of me,” Lyrem explained, drinking more of the water down. “I came to accept that the statue was more valuable in the bottom of the sea, than on the surface of Earth. That must have been what the man also thought. That is what I believe of many things these days as well. Some things, some people, just belong under the ground.”
        Charlotte side-eyed him.
        “Right,” she said, checking the time on the oven. It had only been fifteen minutes.
        Lyrem checked his pocket watch. It was hidden away beneath his jacket, and he clicked it open checking it briefly before folding it away again. He made a humming sound. If Charlotte was familiar with the Spanish Guitar, she might have recognized the tune as Sevilla- Suite Espanola No. 3 as played by his favoured guitarist, Andrs Segov-
        “Where are the hell are they?” Charlotte walked across the small house, and peered out the front door, worriedly. “I don’t see her-them coming up the walk. They should be back by now.”
        “I’m sure they are being well taken care of,” Lyrem appeared behind her, causing her to jump in place and flip around.
        “But, I, myself, seem to also be running out of time.” Lyrem continued hauntingly, looking past the woman, over her shoulder.
        “Did you have something you needed to get back to?” Charlotte inquired. “I’m sure Arch can reschedule a meeting with you.”
        “Fortunately,” he sniffed, addressing her once again. “that won’t be necessary. I am exactly where I need to be at this moment.”
        With lowering brows, Charlotte backed up, keeping her hand on the doorknob.
        “What is wrong, Charlotte?” Lyrem tilted his head, in feigned concern.
        She couldn’t stop staring at him, frozen in place- wondering if she was being silly, acting crazy, or just reading all correct the signs that told her to run.
        She shook her head, heart pounding. He was merely standing there. Maybe a bit close for comfort, but he wasn’t threatening her. Not outright.
        “I- I don’t know…” She answered hesitantly. “But… I don’t think I want you anywhere near me… or my child.”
        “Arch will always be safe with me. Of that, I can assure you. As for you, though,” Lyrem admitted, caringly. “You won’t have to worry about me being anywhere near you, at all, ever again.”
        Charlotte was backed against the door now, turning the knob to the front door, intent on running out.
        “I mean it, Charlotte. You are far too disrespectful to be in my company. And I feel bad for Arch. How they put up with you for so long... well, that requires a modicum of patience that I have never once possessed. Never fear, my dear Charlotte. I am doing this for their sake. It really is better this way.” he explained. “That is why I plan to…”
        “’Plan to’ what?” Charlotte asked, fear rising in the tremors of her voice.
        “Well, I suppose you’ll see when you open the door,” he rushed his words, ushering her to leave as she wished to do.
        Charlotte bolted around. The front door opened to a pool of darkness. There was no light, no sound, no nothing. She had yet to step forward. She didn’t say a word and only stared into the beckoning void
        “Just remember to breathe,” she was advised in a whisper from behind.
        Then, Lyrem pressed a firm hand against her back. Into the darkness Charlotte was shoved forward, until she was utterly gone- swallowed up into the shadows where the light would never reach her.
        Lyrem closed the front door. The light from outside returned as he opened it again- the Labyrinth now missing. Cars drove on past, children rode their bikes, chickadees and jays cheeped in the bushes, and the breezes signaled early summer as the aspens trembled along the boulevard. It was the sound of life.
        Still, there was no Arch to be found. Not down the street. 
        Not yet. 
        A soft purr sounded by Lyrem’s feet, then he felt the warmth of a cat curling around his ankles. He looked down, and picked Maleficent up to hold her close until she was just beneath his chin. Her long gray fur tickled the side of his face.
        “Do you want to be a part of my family too?” He asked, looking down at her  sweetly. Maleficent purred on, as Lyrem’s index finger stroked the side of her cheek firmly. “I’m sure we can make room for you.”

Look For A Savior
Summary:
This is an AU story of the events which took place for Gabriel during the second series of the Lucifer comic.
"I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets . Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets. I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in, got enough guilt to start my own religion."
- Crucify by Tori Amos
When one thinks of the Archangel Gabriel many images come to the mind. For some an image of untouchable pureness and holiness beyond all measures is what comes fourth to their mind. For others they see what they assume to be their only hope at salvation from their sins and the evils of this world. Still for others the mere mention of God's Messenger brings fear to them. For when they think of him they are reminded of the horrors which God can unleash when he is angered. Then there are some still who would smile with fondness over hearing his name because to when they think of him, they see a being that is more glorious and beautiful than Earthly words can ever hope to describe. For none would image of a bitter, drunken disgraced son come to their mind. Yet that is exactly what has become of the once proud Archangel.
If you asked your average human where they thought Gabriel was they would laugh a bit before answering that he was in Heaven with all the Holy Host. Perhaps they would tell you he was besides God awaiting his orders. Waiting to deliver his next message. This answer once would have been true. Yet now-a-days things had greatly changed. No longer did Gabriel speak to his Father and no longer did he spend his time in the magnificent Silver City. In fact he wasn't allowed anywhere near the Silver City any longer. Twice in the last four years he had been casted out of Heaven. Not that he much gave a shit about that anymore. Fuck the Silver City and all of the Heavenly Host for that matter. They didn't want him around? Well, he wasn't about to keep trying to force his company on them and try to fix what was an unrepairable situation. If he couldn't be a blessing to Heaven.....He would become their curse. He would make them wish that they had never ever demeaned him in the ways which they had done so.
It was with this bitter and rage clouding his mind that he went seeking out Mazikeen (Hell's newest ruler). She had once told him in the future he would join Hell and become one of her most trusted loyal soldiers. At the time Gabriel had assumed she was purely saying this derisions to cause him dismay and attempt to get a rise out of him. After all she was still a demon and wasn't that what demons did best? Didn't she even go as far to do this to Lucifer at times? A man whom she claimed to respect more than anyone. Although of course knowing Lucifer he probably got off in some sick and twisted way on Mazikeen taunting him. Not that Gabriel spent much time thinking on that. The less time thinking about any of his family the better. Never did God’s Ex-Messenger think there would be the slightest hint of truth to the demoness’ words. Yet in the end her words which he had took for taunts had ended up becoming his unavoidable reality.
Willingly the once proud Angel went to the ruler of Hell. He kneeled before her, lowered his head and asked for her to allow him to become her servant. A cold smile had crept onto the visible side of Mazikeen’s face as she granted Gabriel his plea. Gabriel was sure that after the deal had been made he would regret it and he would feel terribly for having entered into such a bargain. He was sure that guilt over betraying all of Heaven would quickly overwhelm him. This proved not to be the case. The moment Mazikeen’s hand touched his head finalizing their agreement, the fallen angel felt for the first time in years now that he had done something right. He finally felt like he was now able to do something about all his anger and bitterness that had been building up. He once again felt his life had some sense of direction and maybe even the slightest bit of meaning to it.
Gabriel had gone to Hell and made this deal assuming Mazikeen was going to make his life miserable. He had figured she would gloat about having been right on him joining her. That she would mock him for his fall as so many did when they learned what had become of him. Much to his amazement she hadn't done any of that. Mazikeen was almost in her own way kind to him. She kept him close by her side while being careful to give him what space he may need. Mazikeen listened when he spoke or she acted as if she was. This was more than could be said of his Father in recent times. Still, this proved not to be the most shocking thing about Hell's new ruler. Gabriel had quickly come to learn that Mazikeen was a much different ruler than Lucifer had been.
Lucifer had always been bored by his job. He didn't never give a damn about it as far as Gabriel could gather. Mazikeen gave off the impression of someone who cared about being the best ruler she could be. She also cared a great deal about the beings she ruled. Sure if someone so much as gave off the tiniest hint that they might be thinking of displeasing her, Mazikeen would not hesitate to personally destroy said being. Still, she also had a very protective streak to her over the ones she ruled. It was clear that the demoness would not stand for any disrespect whatsoever from her followers. It was equally clear that she would defend each and every last one of them till her dying breath against that would dare stand against them.
Never in all of his billions of years of being would Gabriel ever think he would say this but, he was quickly growing to respect Mazikeen. Sure, there were times he still didn't agree with her and certain she said or did still made him feel ill at times. Nonetheless the respect remained there and grew with each day. Despite this new found respect there was still so much he didn't understand about her. The biggest thing he didn't get was this, now that Lucifer had shown back up why did she keep insisting on ruling this place? Why not give Lucifer his stupid Lightbringer powers back and call it a day? Lucifer had even stood before Mazikeen and damn near begged her to do this. So why hadn't she? Gabriel glanced to his side where Mazikeen sat in typical fashion on the throne of Hell. A seat once occupied by Gabriel's older brother. He frowned uncertainly as Mazikeen gazed over at him and raised an eyebrow.
"If you have something on your mind then speak, angel. Surely even you know that staring at people is considered rude."
Mentally the disgraced angel rolled his eyes. Mazikeen really did have an attitude much like Lucifer when she wanted to. Shoving his hands into his pockets Gabriel spoke up.
"Why do you this? I mean really.....What's the point in this? You don't seem happy about ruling Hell as good as you are at. Lucifer is back. Why not give him back the powers and be done with this? As much as he may deny it Hell is still his responsibility isn't it? Make him deal with this."
A long silence followed Gabriel's questions. For a moment he wasn't sure she was going to answer him. He thought she might just attack him. After what was starting to feel like a life time the Queen Of Hell spoke.
"I do this because as you said I am good at it. Hell no longer has anything to do with your brother. He gave up on this long before he left here. I will not do the same. I will not run off from my responsibilities and I will not abandon the ones who depend on me as he has done to me. I keep these powers as a reminder of what was done to me."
Gabriel narrowed his eyes at Mazikeen. Despite what some may say he wasn't a complete fool. He knew there was much more to the story than she was saying. As much as she claimed to no longer need Lucifer and to be angry with him, she still loved him. He was as sure of this as he was sure that Lucifer too still loved her. Mazikeen once more arched an eyebrow at the Archangel.
"What? Are you disappointed by my answer? Had you been hoping for some mind blowing and life changing answer from this all?"
Gabriel shook his head, his dark hair brushing up against the top of his eyelids as he did so.
"No. Forget it, stupid question."
Ebony feathered wings extended from Gabriel's back as he started to take to the air. Mazikeen's face went back to being impossible to read as she watched him with but a hint of boredom.
"And where is it you're planning to go now?"
Gabriel was already a good hundred yards in the air. He shouted over his shoulder to her as he kept making his exit from the throne room and now Hell itself.
"You know perfectly well where I am going. Where I always go now-a-days. To get a damn drink."
God's ex-Messenger could swear for a second as he made his exit that he heard Mazikeen laughing at his words. This would make most reconsider that drink but for Gabriel this only made him want a drink more. Gabriel headed to a run down bar in the heart of Los Angles a few blocks from where Lucifer had his own bar. Gabriel had considered for a briefly going into Lux (or was Lucifer still calling it Ex-Lux?) but he then thought better of this idea. If he went there he would end up having to talk to Lucifer who would either worsen his mood by mocking him over something or rope into some fucked up scheme. This would also only worsen his mood.
So, if he didn't want to see his brother why go to Los Angeles at all? Why risk a run in with someone who would surely piss him off? Maybe somewhere along the lines Gabriel had become one of those sick freaks who got off on life being shitty. No, if that was really the case he would still be trying to prove himself to Heaven and arguing with them over things. Maybe the truth was something much more simple. Perhaps some small part of him wanted to run into Lucifer because Lucifer was one of only handful who still treated him half way decent at times even if the ex-Morningstar was an asshole. Plus there was the fact that unlike most Lucifer understood what it was like to have once been favored by Heaven only to later have them hate you.
As thoughts of his elder brother clouded his mind, Gabriel frowned. No, he didn't want to see him. Lucifer didn't understand shit. Unlike Gabriel, Lucifer had never wanted any part of Heaven. He had never cared about pleasing Father, about being pure, or anything other than his own damn selfish desires and that still was all the man cared about. Frowning, the Archangel sat himself down at the bar. He raised his hand slightly to get the bartend's attention.
"So what will it be?"
The bartender asked as he approached Gabriel and leaned himself slightly over the counter top. Gabriel frowned. He really shouldn't be drinking at all. Lucifer last time he was at Lux had took notice of his drinking and if even the devil is has words to say about how much you drink you really know you got problems. Fuck it. Who the Hell gave a damn what Lucifer or anyone else thought anyways?
"Doesn't matter to me so long as it is strong and you keep them coming."
Gabriel remarked as he took his wallet out and set some money on the countertop. For a brief moment the bartender looked as if he was going to argue with the disgraced angel. Maybe even go as far as to attempt to talk him out of drinking. However one look at Gabriel was enough to tell the bartender nothing he might say was going to change Gabriel's mind on getting drunk at this point. The bartender shrugged, got out a whiskey glass and filled it. Keeping his gaze on the fallen Archangel he pushed the drink over to him.
"Rough day, buddy?"
The bartender asked in a rather thick New York accent that had some level of concern etched into it. Without hesitation Gabriel down his drink in one quick gulp and gently pushed the glass back to the bartender. He shook his head and softly laughed to himself. His hues of an unnatural blue fell onto the bartender.
"More like rough few years."
Now it was the bartender's turn to chuckle although unlike Gabriel who seemed slightly amused when he had laughed the bartender's laugh was one of clear nervousness. He quickly refilled the glass and passed it back to Gabriel.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I hear that a lot."
Snorting in a rather undignified mannerism Gabriel once more laughed only this time his laughter was angry and bitter. He downed his drink again and shoved it back at the bartender.  Using a bit more force than necessary. Gabriel scowled at the bartender.
"No. You have no idea what I mean."
The bartender opened his mouth. Perhaps he was going to agree with Gabriel or maybe he was about to counterattack. Whatever the case Gabriel didn’t want to hear it. He ran a hand down his face.
“Look, less talk tonight and more pouring....Please?”
The bartender’s face hardened up, but the near begging tone in Gabriel’s final word softened him back up. 
“Sure, pal.”
After this the only sound in the otherwise empty bar was Gabriel and the bartender sliding his glass back and forth.

Slow to Accept (Amphibia oneshot fanfic)
(I just HAD to make this after watching Toad Tax! Seriously, that episode gave me feels!)
It had been a day since the warrior toads had come along, nearly tearing Wartwood inside out. One day since the brave human had been willing to risk her life for the townspeople, despite their disrespect prior to the events. 
That moment really opened the villagers’ eyes (for Wally it was still just the one). Since then they truly did see Anne as one of their own. Their savior, their special addition, their friend. 
Soon as the toads departed from the town, Anne was immediately checked on for the injuries she obtained. Hop Pop was quick to medicate and bandage her arm, albeit with trembling anxiety over the process. Anne had never seen the old frog so overwhelmed like this, probably horrified that she nearly got killed and had the bruises to prove it. Once her arm was put in a sling, she could have sworn she felt a wave of emotions coming from the villagers upon seeing her in such a state. 
Was it guilt? If anything, Anne was the one who should have felt guilty. After all, she played the toads’ game and nearly lost her frog family. The young girl never expected sympathy from the villagers. Some of them were rather misty-eyed upon seeing her arm. Heck, even Wally had been wracked with so much guilt he gave back the beetle jerky to her. 
Although unsure about the gesture, Anne accepted it. During all this, she didn’t realize how little she had eaten. The taste of beetle-flavored jerky had never been greater. 
After being declared a hero and her cast was buried in signatures, Anne was exhausted. When she got to bed that night, she wondered if things would be much different from then on. 
Or go back to the status quo if the townspeople were forgetful, ungrateful jerks... _____
Turns out it was truly the former. 
Anne was sitting on the couch with Sprig and Polly, watching the season of Suspicion Island all over again. She leaned against the side of the furniture, her bad arm laying on a pillow for elevation. Although wearing a cast, Anne craved some activity. She wanted to play with Sprig like they always did, possibly doing something dumb and run off laughing afterwards. However, even the slightest bit of movement nearly gave Hop Pop a heart attack. The old frog insisted (actually begged) Anne to not go risking her health again. 
There was a knock on the door. As soon as Hop Pop opened it, a tiny, adorable spider scurried past him. It was Larcy, Mrs. Croaker’s pet spider, and it barked upon seeing Anne. It immediately hopped onto the human’s chest, which wasn’t too hard of an impact since Larcy was small. Thankfully, the adorable creature hadn’t landed anywhere near Anne’s arm. 
“How is the little dear?” Mrs. Croaker asked Hop Pop, holding a pitcher with its contents sending a nice aroma. 
“Oh, Anne? She’s healing.” the head Plantar explained as he gestured to the aforementioned individual, who was petting Larcy affectionately. 
“Hi, Mrs. Croaker,” the Thai-American greeted. She proceeded to wave, not realizing she was doing so with her bad arm. “Ow...”
“Anne, please!” Hop Pop practically begged, sounding a bit exasperated. “What have I told you about moving that arm?”
“Oh, the poor child,” Mrs. Croaker crooned as she placed the pitcher on the table. “I made you some of my special tea, kiddo. Hope it’ll make you feel better.”
The surprise was not lost on Anne’s face. She did not expect this gesture at all. Still, the aroma was heavenly. 
“Oh, thanks,” the girl said politely, “that’s really nice of you.”
“You take care now, alright darling?” Mrs. Croaker told her sweetly before exiting the house, Larcy in tow. 
Soon as she left, Anne let the moment sink in. 
“This is weird,” she said aloud. 
“The tea?” Sprig asked. 
“No, I mean-” she began but was cut off by another knock on the door. 
Hop Pop opened it to find Felicia Sundew. She gave a worried grin, holding a tray of scones. Anne recognized the pastries immediately, knowing very well they were of the beetle variety. She had been in Wartwood for so long those scones were practically her favorite. 
“How’s Anne?” the proprietor of the town’s cafe asked, trying to keep her anxiety in check. 
“Well, she’s-” Hop Pop began, but as soon as the redheaded frog saw the girl, Felicia quickly barged in. 
“Oh, honey, how are you feeling?” the female amphibian asked timidly. 
“Um, I’m great...” Anne responded, feeling a bit uneasy by the sudden shower of affection.
“I made you special scones!” the cafe owner said as she placed the tray right next to the pitcher of tea. “Made fresh this morning! Beetles and all!”
Somewhere deep down Anne was actually craving for some beetle. She had been in Wartwood for so long beetle was becoming her new favorite flavor.
“Oh, you didn’t have to do that...” the young girl said, feeling slightly embarrassed. 
“Honey, it was no trouble at all!” Felicia Sundew promised. She reached over and picked a leaf out of Anne’s hair. “Now you rest up and let that arm heal, alright, sweetie? After all, you’d been through quite a lot for such a little girl!”
Anne wasn’t sure what to say. She didn’t expect this kindness from her at all. 
Soon as the female frog left, Hop Pop was just about to close the door. Only for something to stop it. 
“What the-?” the old frog exclaimed before glancing over to see a familiar one-eyed amphibian. “Wally, what do you want?”
“Easy, old man!” the town’s squalor-living resident said heartily as he made his way in. “Just thought I’d visit Anne and bring her this.” He held up a bag of beetle jerky...with spicy larva flavor. 
Now Anne was really questioning her priorities as she stared at the bag. Beetle with additional larva was quite a treat...and a reminder just how long she had been in this town. 
“’Ello there, Annabelle!” the one-eyed frog greeted, waving over at the human. “How’s that arm doing? You know, I recall a place where they can sell you spare body parts if the old ones aren’t working. I could take you there to get your arm removed and-”
“That’s quite enough now, Wally!” Hop Pop cut in impatiently, taking the bag from him and pushing the raggedy frog out the door. 
But Wally wasn’t the last to knock on that door. 
Soon, the living room was flooded with food and gifts. Anne just stared at them while Sprig and Polly enjoyed their sudden bounty. But she didn’t even touch anything, simply staring at it all. 
“What’s wrong, Anne?” Sprig asked, unwrapping a present only to find it was a frilly dress not even Polly would be caught wearing. 
“The townspeople are being nice to me...” the Thai-American muttered. “Again.”
“You seem troubled,” Hop Pop noted. 
“How can I not be?” Anne exclaimed as she picked up a “thank you” message that was knitted onto a blanket. 
Hop Pop came over and placed an assuring hand on her shoulder. “I know this complete turnaround is a lot to take in.”
“Complete turnaround?” she cried. “What happened to that dumb motto about how it’s slow to accept and even slower to respect? The last time they were even considerably nice to me was when I had my zits!” She dropped the blanket on the floor. “I mean, how long will this last before things go back to the way they were and I’m just the local freak again?”
The old frog wasn’t surprised by her feelings on this. He had watched every day since taking Anne in how the other villages treated her. There were some characters who paid Anne good respect prior to her defending the town. Unfortunately, the only person Hop Pop could think of was Stumpy, whose restaurant wouldn’t have become successful had it not been for Anne. Other people only ever paid any mind to Anne when she was with the Plantars. 
Anne placed her face in her hands. “I don’t know if I could get used to this...I mean, part of me feels like this could all just disappear and they’ll start treating me like dirt again...”
At that Hop Pop, slowly smiled, albeit still worrisome. 
“Well, perhaps you got a motto yourself,” he declared. “’Slower to accept, even slower to realize just how much of an impact you put on this community.”
As his words sank in, Anne glanced over at all the presents the townspeople left her. Unlike before when every item was laced with a message of “We love you Anne!”, these actually felt like tokens of gratitude. Still, that part of her that was afraid to drink all this in wouldn’t leave her alone. And maybe it would take a while before she would begin to trust the townspeople sincere respect towards her. 
She picked up one of Felicia Sundew’s beetle scones. It was still warm. 
“Yeah,” Anne sighed, a worn out smile on her face, “I guess I just need time to adjust.” And she bit into it.  -------------------
What do you think? That episode was just SO good!

Drama Kings - Chapter 2
Tumblr media
“ Where the fuck were you ? “ Jensen is welcomed by his mom’s angry voice .
“School , apparently . “ He kicks off his Nike’s near the door , then neatly places them in his shoe bin .
“ No . Mr. Sheppard called and told me why you skipped 7th period “ She scolds , placing a hand on her hip .
Screw you , accent asshole who can’t keep his mouth shut .
“ So ? It is not like I skipped the whole day , and hey I got a nearly perfect score in Maths in the last test , so I am good “ . It was true . He knows people take him for a dumb jock who probably inherited his dad’s IQ level , but he never had a problem with the material . He just hated listening to teachers rambling about their glory days .
“ It is not your grades I’m worried about “ She snaps and Jensen snorts . He wasn’t going to have this conversation .
“ I’m going to my room “ he practically runs upstairs , ignoring all the yelling and shutting the door behind him .
God . His room is such a mess .
_________________________________________
Jared spends the rest of the evening texting Gen and Misha . They go on and on about their summer vacation and their funny memories together . Jared warms up to them quicker than he thought , although they are a little weird to be completely honest .
He tries to distract himself with homework so he won’t think about his earlier , rather embarrassing encounter with his crazily hot neighbor . It only works for a few minutes , until he hears a loud guitar coming from the window opposite to his . Led Zeppelin voice blasts across the room and he walks towards his window . the houses aren’t even that close to each other , What the fuck is wrong with this person ?
“ Hey ! Could you turn this down ? HEY ! “ Jared yells and bangs his hand against the window , finally getting the attention of whoever that disrespectful brat was .
Except , he didn’t expect this when the curtains were moved aside .
The hot neighbor from earlier turns to be the next door brat who blasted both their windows with Metallic rock . He looks at him for a moment , then turns off the music .
“ Sorry , man . I am not used to people living in this house . It won’t happen again . “ He says scratching the back of his neck .
If God wanted to purposefully punish him , he wouldn’t create such a perfect looking human being with an equally perfect , deep voice . God dammit .
“ It’s fine “ Jared says and urges himself to move , but he feels glued to the floor .
“ I saw you earlier . You go to my school , right? “ the boy asks , leaning against his window frame . Jared tries not to stutter as he answers .
“ Yeah , I’m Jared by the way “
“ Jensen , So are you a senior too ? “
As in ‘ Asshole quarterback star ‘ Jensen freaking Ackles . This is a cosmic bad joke that God is probably playing . The boy next door is practically Regina George , no matter how dramatic that sounds .
“ Y-yeah , I am “ Jared hears himself say weakly .
“ Ok then . See you tomorrow , Jared “ Jensen throws a bright , too goddamn charming smile his way .
It takes longer this time to remember how to breathe .
Jensen sits down on his bed and writes ‘ Jared ‘ down on his Facebook search . he scrolls through the list of Jareds till he finds a ‘ Jared Padalecki ‘ with a profile picture of the boy grinning , and damn , those dimples .
He knows he shouldn’t be stalking the kid on social media , but he does it anyways . After a few minutes of scrolling , he finds out that the boy used to live in LA before he moved to Chicago . He had a golden retriever dog , but he passed away , but that’s all .
Jensen did that because he is curious . He doesn’t find Jared any more interesting than any other new kid . He is just curious , that’s all .
_____________________________
“ YOUR FUCKING NEIGHBOR “ Jared had to hold his right ear , to protect it from Gen’s mental freak out . He really shouldn’t have told her .
“ That would be an awesome romantic movie , except oh , Jensen is straight “ Misha says , digging through his cheese burger ,
“ Wait , how-“
“ How did I know you liked dicks . You stare dude , not that I mind . Hot stuff “ Misha winks at the last phrase . Jared knows he is bi . he has it on his instagram bio . Who does that ?
“ He practically tried to shatter our windows with Led Zeppelin music “ Jared says , changing the topic
“ Asshole “ Misha sings .
The three of them walk to math class . He looks up to see Jensen taking a seat in front of him .
“ Hey , Jared . “ Jensen turns around , flashing him one of his charming smiles . His freckles are even more fascinating up close . Jared finds himself smiling .
“ So , You are coming to today’s game ?” Jensen asks and Jared shrugs
“ I don’t know . I’m not really into football .”
“ You don’t have to be . Just come watch . Maybe I can make you like it “ . A smirk spreads on his flawless lips and Jared gulps .
God . Is he flirting ? He is straight , right ?
“ Alright “
Then Mrs. Rhee walks in the class and Jensen turns around , a smile still plastered on his face .
God . Jared is royally fucked .
_____________________
Later on , Jared sits on the first bench next to Gen , who starts telling him the names of football players .
“ And this is Tyler Lockwood . A homophobic son of a whore who happens to be your neighbor’s brother in crime . Another reason why I hate the football team , and why Misha had gone home by now . “
Wow . So he wasn’t flirting at all .
“ A bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch “ Jared didn’t know why ( or who ) he was defending .
“ Don’t tell me you got the hots for Ackles “ She whispers , as if it was highly confidential .
“ God Gen . No , I am not dumb enough to like a straight guy “
Or is he ?
“ You’d better not be , Padalecki “ then Gen looks straight ahead .
He doesn’t understand why they don’t like him that much . He was pretty nice to Jared and apart from arrogance and loud music , he is bearable .
But again , he only spoke to him for 2 minutes .
“ Here he comes “
________________________
Apparantly , Jared likes football .
No , He likes how Jensen plays football . They won the game , thanks to him . Jensen takes off his helmet , enjoying the glory of being the star of the match . His name is being chanted , people are praising him and the coach pats his shoulder roughly , with a proud smile on his face .
Jensen looks up at him and their eyes lock , then suddenly , he doesn’t hear all those cheers . He can only see Jensen’s beautiful smile , just for him , and his forest green eyes . He returns the smile with a grin and mouths “ great job “ which seems to widen Jensen’s smile and earn him a wink .
Wait , did he just wink at him ? Wow .
“ Did he just ? “ Gen asks , confusion dancing around her face .
Jared takes a deep breathe , then shrugs
______________________
“ You nailed it “ Jensen hears Tyler praise before he feels his bone crushing embrace . God , they both stink .
“ I know , right ? “ Jensen smiles and Ty punches his arm , both undressing .
See ? Jensen doesn’t find guys hot , doesn’t stare . Why the fuck is Jared so different ? or so beautiful ?
“ Did you see Osric today ? “ Ty asks , getting in the shower and closing the door behind him . Jensen does the same and takes off the rest of his clothes , letting the hot water run down his body .
“ Why ? didn’t do your homework ?”
“ Damn straight . He said he’d do it , but I can’t find him anywhere and Mr, Physics bullshit gave me a load of crap “
Jensen chuckles . typical asshole .
“ So what will you do when we find him ? “ Jensen quickly puts on his black V-neck T-shirt , boxers and black jeans .
“ We ? thought you told me to do my homework myself , Ackles .” Ty says getting out of the shower , fully dressed .
“ I’m feeling generous today . And hey , the kid went back on his word . He has it coming “ Jensen smirks . the truth is , he has nothing to do for the rest of the day and also , he wants to forget all about the Padalecki boy . He won’t act all jerk towards Osric . In fact , it is much better if he is there to hold Ty back . His friend was 10 times the asshole he was .
“ He is probably in the library .Physics advanced class has this new project , so he is probably researching “ he says packing my gym bag .
“ How the fuck do you know ? “ Ty frowns , folding his shoulders
“ Because I passed its test and they added me to their telegram group “ Jensen mumbles , hearing him gasp .
“ You what ? “
“ Dude , it was an IQ test . I didn’t even study much for it and if it makes you feel better , I haven’t attended a single one “ Jensen snaps , not believing Ty became that much of an asshole that he had to explain himself to him . He just chuckles .
“ Man , I should make you do my homework “ He grins .
“ Bite me “ and he snorts .
___________
“ Thermodynamics are ten times easier than this Shakespeare novel , I swear “ Osric says smiling and Jared chuckles .
Jared met the kid in the library , helping him search for Henry’s gas law reference . And the conversation just kept flowing , mostly about English and Physics . Exchanging information and that kind of shit .
They hear footsteps and they both turn to the source . Jensen Ackles and Tyler Lockwood stand near the entrance and he locks eyes with Jensen , but Tyler moves to their table and grabs Osric by his collar , making him stand up .
“ So , you still think it is a good idea not to do my homework ? “ Tyler hisses in his face and Jared’s eyes widen . So that’s why Misha and Gen hate these two . God . He thought Jensen wasn’t that low .
“ Hey ! Leave him alone “ Jared says stepping closer to Lockwood , who gives him a rather amused expression .
“ Look what we got here “ Tyler says and lets go of Osric , turning his full attention to Jared .
Jared wasn’t at all defenseless . He worked out , he wasn’t as built as Tyler but still tall enough . He knew how to fight , he just hated it .
“ Hey hey ! Back the fuck off “ Jensen’s voice rings across the library and he stands in front of Tyler .
“ Your problem is with Osric. Leave the kid alone “ Jensen says getting in his face . If Jared was in Tyler’s shoes , he would be scared shitless right now .
“ You’re scared of that pussy or what ? “ Tyler asks , clearly irritated .
“ You call him that one more time and you will face me . He is with me “ Jensen snaps .
He shouldn’t stand like a girl , feeling all warm while watching a guy defend his honor , but he does . He feels protected , almost enough to make him forget what kind of douchebag was protecting his ass , or making him blush .
“ Whatever , man “ Tyler pushes Jensen away and storms out of the library .
“ Hey . Are you ok kid ? “ He asks Osric and Jared narrows his eyes .
“ Now you’re all concerned ? “ Jared asks , not helping the small stutter in his words .
“ Look , I didn’t know he was your friend “ Jensen looks at his eyes . and goddamn it is not the time for Jared to stare right now .
“ And it would be ok if he wasn’t ? “He folds his arms . Jensen opens his mouth to say something and then he closes it again . His hands close into fists . Jared can’t help but notice the veins in his arms . Not fucking now .
“ You know what ? If I didn’t step in , your bacon would be toast . so how about a little credit ? “ He snaps and Jared can’t help but flinch . He looks at Jared for a moment then he storms out of the library .
It really isn’t the time to think about how hot Jensen looked while angry . and why the fuck is Jared blushing right now ?

Canon doesn’t work that way [AKA: Why Hannigram Isn’t Canon]
This is an actual comment I received on an Instagram post I made explaining why Hannigram isn’t canon. Let’s take a look at it:
Tumblr media
This isn’t how canon works. At all. Canon is like well, a bible of information. Something literally written in stone. In fact, that’s the origin of the word. From biblical times. Though I can agree to some extent, some, the bible is open to interpretation there are still a bunch of things the bible does or doesn’t say and still hard and fast rules the vast majority of Christians will all agree with, no matter how they interpret the bible otherwise. For instance, the ten commandments. No matter if you go to a Catholic church, a Baptist Church, an Evangelical church, everyone has pretty much all agreed that the 10 commandments are solid rules to live by. Even when you do find that the bible has a slightly different interpretation than others, you will not find something so wildly outlandish that it doesn’t make any sense. This is what canon is and why it exists. It’s rules that are written down, set in stone, and definitely words that define a story, ideology, whatever you want to call it.
Once canon is written it cannot be changed. This has been the rule since, well, the beginning of Goddamn time. I know I’ve already brought this up but apparently it needs to be repeated because the Hannibal fandom still doesn’t understand what canon is and what fan fiction is. It really doesn’t help that the creator of the show, Bryan Fuller, doesn’t seem to understand this either. We are talking about a guy who literally got fired from a show for demanding he be able to write fan fiction instead of follow the book adaptation, and not only is this ridiculous but he demanded the actual author allow this when the author was the producer on the show. If the creator of Hannibal is this freaking self entitled, all he does is pass it onto his fans who believe him but will defend him.
Case in point: Hannigram. It is not canon. Not by any stretch of the word. It’s not even open to interpretation given the actual facts of the show and the events that took place. You cannot possibly interpret Hannibal’s behavior towards Will as love or romance. It is factually abuse. End of story. If Bryan Fuller wanted this to be canon because he writes the canon he had all the power in the world to make it canon. He failed to do that and all the “Hannigram is canon” tweets in the universe will not change the content of the show or the scripts that he already wrote. That’s not how that works. Let’s look at the plot, just the plot, not speculation or emotion. Just straight up facts of the show as it pertains to Will Graham and Hannibal’s relationship. I’ll go in order as sort of a timeline to make it abundantly clear how bad Hannibal was to Will.
Hannibal messes up Will’s investigation into the Hobbs murders by calling Garret Jacob Hobbs to warn him that the FBI is coming for him. This triggers Hobbs into murdering his wife and attempting to murder Abigail.
Hannibal uses this situation against Will almost immediately because he notices how guilty Will feels about what happened to Abigail so he just makes it worse. On purpose. Using Abigail as a pawn to manipulate Will.
Hannibal recognizes that Will has Encephalitis. Instead of doing literally anything to help him as a friend or doctor, Hannibal lets the disease get worse and worse to use it to his advantage to manipulate Will even further.
Hannibal starts to plant evidence for his eventual crime of framing Will for murder.
Hannibal starts to sew seeds of doubt in the minds of the FBI and Will’s friends so when it finally gets to the end, no one will believe Will when he says he isn’t the copy cat and hasn’t murdered anyone. Hannibal continues to use Will’s undiagnosed condition against him.
This entire time Hannibal has been feeding Will (and several other people) human flesh without their knowledge.
Hannibal is successful with his set up and though Will eventually gets treatment for Encephalitis he ends up being framed for murder and going to prison.
This is just season one, okay? I didn’t even include episode 11 where Hannibal blatantly gaslights Will by telling him no one is there when Will brings Abel Gideon to his house. What exactly, in all of this, denotes anything more than sadistic emotional torture on Hannibal’s part? Where is the love, respect, and care this awesome, romantic, “murder husbands” relationship is about? Even if Hannibal “completely changed” and totally stopped being evil at this point, is this still not bad enough that Will should ever forgive him? Could? Especially after one of the murders Hannibal made Will think he committed was Abigail’s which basically destroyed him? Really? This is your romance? Okay, let’s move on to season two events…at least to the best of my knowledge.
Hannibal pretty much knows the whole time Will is in jail he didn’t do it but does very little of anything to help him, until he hires Matthew Brown to help.
Hannibal moves in on Alana and uses her for sex and an alibi to cover up other crimes that he intends to commit.
Hannibal also somehow has Abigail alive, not that it makes any sense, but the events of season three show he was brainwashing Abigail the entire time so this pertains to Will mostly because of how Will cared for Abigail. It’s straight up disrespectful towards him and his wishes.
Hannibal nearly kills Jack on a rampage during their fight in the kitchen, stabs Will with a linoleum knife, and then to top it all off he slits Abigail’s throat while Will watches as some sort of punishment or revenge.
Okay, so I’m willing to bet if this happened to someone or their friend in real life, at this point people would recognize the reality of the situation, namely being that this isn’t love. This is high level abuse and manipulation. Now, just to be clear, the specific shippers I am talking about are the shippers that insist this is romantic, Hannibal loved, cared for, and respected Will, and literally nothing is wrong with their relationship. I am not against toxic shipping or people shipping people DESPITE the abusive or dark nature of the ship. What I am against are people turning crap like this into romance to justify the ship. Calling this behavior LOVE and not abuse. That’s what I’m against. Ship these assholes all you want but at least admit it’s not healthy. Moving on to season three:
There’s at least one scene with Will panicked and depressed in Hannibal’s kitchen thinking he can’t live without him and not in a good way. This scene denotes massive signs of codependency which, once again, isn’t love. It’s the result of extreme emotional and physical abuse on Hannibal’s part.
Will chases Hannibal all over the world to find him and does but Hannibal attempts to cut his head open and eat his brain. Seems like he would have done it had he not been stopped by whatever deus ex machina plot device happened, think it was Chiyoh but whatever it was, trust me it was bullshit.
Hannibal and Will are brought back to Mason in the states and once again endure a bunch of torture and none of this is anything that would have happened had Hannibal not dragged Will into all of this in the first place.
They eventually escape after Hannibal kills basically everyone and takes Will home. Will tells Hannibal, point blank, he wants nothing to do with him anymore because Hannibal is bad. Very bad. Will openly recognizes this to be the case and states it. Hannibal gets upset and turns himself in just so “Will can always know where to find him” and if you wanna tell me that’s not the trademark of an emotional abuser you don’t know what emotional abuse is.
Will actually goes on to get married and loves his wife. He’s dragged back into working with Hannibal to catch another killer. Will seems to try to avoid bonding or getting near Hannibal at all costs but it’s too late. The codependent bond has already been formed, Hannibal gets into his head again.
Will, recognizing that this is a very bad situation but he’s never going to get away from it, decides to kill both Hannibal and himself instead of living this life of torment he so clearly hates. The end.
Now, if you read all of that and thought “Wow this is a beautiful romance story with loving caring devoted husbands” I got news for you, you’re insane. If you had a friend who went through all of this with a partner, you’d get them away from that partner and never let them go back. You also wouldn’t call it love or caring or anywhere near the sort, except these Hannigram shippers they do. They overly justify this behavior and call it romance. It’s sickening. It’s like they are willing to ignore 90% of the actual events of the show to insist that this ship is canon. It’s not.
Not once in the show did Hannibal and Will kiss. Not once in the show did they say “I love you”. Not once did the show establish they were actually a couple or even gay. Not once was there any factual on screen indication via dialogue or action that showed these two being sexually interested in each other or romantically linked. If these events weren’t shown or stated in the show then their relationship isn’t canon and a tweet doesn’t make it canon. All the Bryan Fuller tweets and fan service in the world can’t make it canon. What the idiot shippers bring up THE MOST is the scene where Will asks Bedelia if Hannibal loves him as if this is “the scene” where Will totally confesses his love to Hannibal. Except, that’s not what it means at all. Here’s what’s actually going on here:
If I think that a person I know has a crush on me, and I ask a friend of theirs “Does so and so love me” what indication does that give about my feelings towards that person? Did you guess none? Asking the simple question “Does X person love me” gives no indication as to how the person asking feels about the person they think loves them. None. Will never actually followed that by saying he loved Hannibal as well, and the “bride” comment the Fannibals site was clearly said in a dark sarcastic way, they remove the context to make it real. When you have to jump through this many hoops to say a ship is canon, then your Goddamn ship isn’t canon. Furthermore, Bedelia was a well established liar, manipulator, and former victim of Hannibal’s. WELL ESTABLISHED. There is literally nothing to say she actually knew what she was talking about or she wasn’t just fucking with Will. None. Because that’s all she did through the entire show was fucking lie and meddle with people, including her own patients which was shown in season three. Bedelia has no credibility on this matter because she was already established as a liar.
I do honestly wonder sometimes if I watched an entirely different show than these people. Alright, so even though I covered this before I will say it again and explain it a bit better this time. This is why Bryan Fuller tweeting “Hannigram is canon” doesn’t make it canon. Casual viewers of the show don’t follow his twitter or interviews. I know dozens of people who watched the show and only did that. Watched it. They didn’t go see what anyone had to say about it. They didn’t stalk Bryan Fuller on twitter. They didn’t read every fucking interview that ever happened. This means that what casual TV viewers saw was an absolutely NON-ROMANTIC NON-CANON relationship between Will and Hannibal. People saw what I listed. People saw abuse, manipulation, emotional anguish and torture. They weren’t cross checking with Fuller’s twitter and interviews to make sure their agenda was being pushed. This means that the only place this is canon is literally in fan fiction in the mind of Fuller and in the minds of the fan girls who believed him. It does not make this canon to the show and it certainly does not make the behavior romantic at all.
Even if, at the end of all this, after all Hannibal had done to Will, they both confessed love to each other why would anyone forgive that? Why would anyone call that romance? Why? When this was clearly a system of abuse designed to brainwash Will into codependency and anyone with two brain cells can see that. Why would you want this to represent “Gay love” why would you think this is good representation for gay couples? Why in the hell do you think this matters so much that a show that is literally about one man with power abusing another man be seen as GAY CANON. Why not choose a better more healthy relationship for your cause? What the fuck is the point of all of this? At the end of the day, Hannigram isn’t canon to the show. Hannigram is and always will be fan fiction. Since any “example” of love or romance anyone can give me boils down to nothing more than actual abuse, torture, and murder I’m going to say that it just doesn’t exist. If you want to WRONGLY BELIEVE that it’s canon you go ahead, but you’re still wrong. Opinions do not change facts no matter how badly they hurt your feelings.

Can’t Look Down
Tumblr media
Summary: (Y/N) has a hard time on set filming Supernatural when the script calls for the stars to be unusually dressed. Characters: Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, Reader (cameos from Sam, Dean, Castiel & Harper-OFC) Pairing: Jensen x Reader Warnings: Fluff   Word Count: 1874 A/N: Once again, @waywardbaby post something and instantly gives me an idea that I had to write down. This is all her fault and complaints *coughs* and compliments *coughs* should be directed to her. As always this is unbeta so all mistakes are mine. Likes, comments and reblogs are splendid and I will love you doubly for them! Enjoy! Special Note: This is a work of FICTION and should be enjoyed as such. I mean no disrespect to the Ackles Family as I love and adore them immensely.
(Y/N) was sitting in her trailer on the set of Supernatural reading over her script. She knew today’s filming was going to be slightly more distracting since they were filming an episode that was more comedic than serious also the main characters were going to be naked except for her. It was not like (Y/N) had not been on shoots where someone was assuming to be naked but never with three men who were as attractive as Misha Collins, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. The thought of seeing any part of Jensen naked made (Y/N)’s cheeks burn. There was a knock on her door as one of the PAs came to get her. “How are they today?” (Y/N) asked as the PA shook her head, “In rare form. It is like walking into a Frat House.” She shook her head as she grabbed her script following the PA to hair and make-up.
The mood on set was filled with awkwardness. Most of the male crew were joking around while any female crew were looking anywhere but the room they were shooting in. (Y/N) sat in her chair waiting for her scene when Misha and Jared came walking in with robes on. “Good morning fellas, how are we today?” She asked trying not to giggle as they narrowed their eyes at her. “Cold. Freaking Cold.” Misha said as he pulled the robes tighter around him. “Don’t listen to him, (Y/N). He just likes to hear himself complain. Are you ready for this?” He asked sitting down next to her. (Y/N) shrugged, “As ready as I’ll ever be I guess. Not every day I’m shooting an episode with three ‘naked’ men.” She used finger quotes as she spoke. Jared gave her a knowing look, “You know what I meant?” He said as she swallowed the lump in her throat.
Over the last couple of years of her character coming on the show she had developed a close friendship with the three stars. She considered Jared one of her best friends talking with him or Gen all the time. (Y/N) lived near Misha so she considered his family like her own, but it was Jensen that got to her. Being a fan of his before getting on the show and now talking to him all the time had formed into her having feelings for him. Jared and Misha were the only ones who knew about it as she did not want to complicate anything between her and Jensen. She looked up to Jared and he patted her leg, “You’ll be fine (Y/N/N).” She nodded as the director of the episode came on set and everyone started to take their places. As Jared and Misha were blocking one of their scenes, (Y/N) jumped when someone came up behind her putting their arms around her.
“Hiya (Y/N/N)!” Jensen said as she turned around smacking him in the arm. She paused as her eyes got wide seeing Jensen in nothing but a pair of tight flesh colored briefs. She immediately averted her eyes to the ceiling, “Uh, h-hi Jensen.” Her voice cracked as she tried to look anywhere but at him. “Are you okay? Why are you looking at the ceiling?” He asked as she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. “No reason. It’s a lovely ceiling really.” She said quickly as he nodded slowly walking towards Jared and Misha. “I’m never going to make it through today.” She muttered to herself as Jared and Misha were now taking off their robes to begin shooting. (Y/N) was on her mark getting ready to enter the library as her character, Harper, finds Team Free Will all naked for the first time. She heard the director call out action and she walked into the room pretending to read from a book.
“So, I think we are dealing with a witch.” Harper said as she looked up from the book seeing Sam, Dean and Castiel all standing there naked. “You think?” Dean said as she immediately turned around, “What the hell are you three doing?” She asked. “The witch must have put a spell on us and now any time we try to put clothes on they immediately disappear. We need to find her and break this curse as soon as possible.” She turned around looking up to the ceiling. “What’s the matter, Harper? After to see what we have to offer.” Dean said as he wiggled his hips. (Y/N) lost it starting to laugh as the director called cut. “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t… Jensen…” She was now laughing so hard her stomach was hurting and tears were streaming down her cheeks. Jensen looked around unknowingly, “I don’t know what she’s talking about. I’m simply just saying my lines.” He started circling his hips again and now Misha was laughing as well. “Alright, everyone take a moment to collect yourselves.” The director said.
(Y/N) walked away from the guys trying to get herself under control. “I’m sorry (Y/N). I couldn’t help myself and I’ll try harder to not get you so flustered.” She turned around seeing Jensen standing behind her wearing a robe this time making it easier to make eye contact with him. “It’s cool Jay. I’m sure this isn’t exactly comfortable for you either. I’ll try not to fangirl all over you anymore.” Once the words were out of her mouth she realized what she had said. Jensen’s eyebrows shot up, “Fangirl?” he asked as the director called them all back to set. “Hey, they need us back so… um we should go…” She mumbled walking past him to her mark again. She heard Jensen chuckling as he took off his robe getting in his spot. Finishing that scene went as smooth as it could with three practically naked men acting like children.
The next scene was the going to be the hardest as it was going to be the first time Harper and Dean admit their feelings for one another. (Y/N) had been dreading this moment since it felt like she was admitting her feelings to Jensen. She walked onto set seeing Jensen standing on his mark as someone touched up his make-up for the shot. Jared came up to her placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder, “You’ll be fine. Just play it out how you feel Harper would.” She smiled up at him and chuckled. “This would mean a lot more if you had more clothes on.” He laughed as he walked off set and she went to her mark. “And, action!” The director yelled.  
Dean grabbed Harper’s elbow turning her around, “No. No running away this time. What is it?” he asked her as she looked up into his shining olive eyes. “Dean, I don’t… I can’t do this anymore. We dance around each other all the time flirting and joking but this is all too much for me. I know how you feel about relationships and this life. Where I disagree with you on it, I won’t try to change your mind on it.” She looked down as tears slipped down her face. “What are you saying, Harper?” He lifted her chin and she pressed her lips against his. “CUT!” (Y/N) pulled away from Jensen as the director came up to them, “That was great guys. Improving a kiss was a good idea.” As the director walked away she looked up at Jensen, “I’m sorry Jay. I just went where I felt Harper would go.” Jensen nodded silently and (Y/N) could feel her heart dropping. They stood awkwardly, the silence slowly breaking her heart until finally she walked off set.
She ate lunch in her trailer alone needing time to herself to calm down and gather what little courage she had left to make it through filming the rest of the day. She went back to set at the last minute so there would be no time for anyone to corner her. The next scene was a funny one that she hoped would lighten her mood. The director called action. “Dean, why are you standing behind that large watermelon?” Sam asked motioning with both his hands. “It’s the only thing big enough to cover my junk! How are you covering yourself with a book and talking with your hands?” Sam’s blushes, “This book had pictures in it…” he mumbles as Harper rolled her eyes. “Well at least you two are trying to cover yourselves unlike Cas.” She pointed over to the angel who was simply standing there comfortably. “This is much easier than wearing clothes. Clothes are restricting and confining.” Harper looked up as Castiel walked towards her, “We need to find a cure fast for this so I am able to look down again.” The director called cut as they all relaxed.
By the end of the day, (Y/N) was wound so tightly that she felt like corkscrew. She said goodnight to Jared and Misha not seeing Jensen anywhere. As she opened her trailer door she gasped seeing him sitting on her couch. “Jesus, you scared the crap out of me!” She said as she walked in setting her things down. “Sorry, I just wanted to talk.” He said standing up as she turned towards him. That is when she noticed him still in his robe and it was opened. Her eyed traveled down his body and then she quickly averted them to the ceiling. “Wh-What did you want to talk about?” She stammered as he chuckled. “Well, we can start as to your fascination with ceilings any time I’m around.” She giggled nervously as he gently grabbed her chin pulling her head down to look at him. She bit her bottom lip as she looked into his eyes and felt her cheeks heating up.
“Look, it’s no surprise to you that I’m attracted to you. I don’t think there is a woman on this planet who isn’t. It’s just hard to not stare at you being practically naked.” She watched as the corner of his lips lifted into a smirk. “So, what you’re saying is that you like me?” He asked moving closer to her as her breath hitch. She nodded as he trailed his fingers down her arms raising her hands up to his chest. “You like me a lot?” She nodded again as her fingers grazed down his soft skin feeling like they were on fire from the heat of his body. “So, if I said I wanted to kiss you right now, you would be alright with that?” She looked up at him stunned, “You what?” she asked as he chuckled.
“(Y/N), I’ve been flirting with you since you started filming with us. I thought I made my intentions pretty clear.” (Y/N) watched as he licked his bottom lip, “I like you and I want you.” His eyes darken waiting for her reaction. “Yes.” She whispered. “Yes…” he said questioningly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She pushed herself up as her lips ghosted against his, “Yes.” She whispered and Jensen pulled her to him crashing her lips to his. He pulled back resting his head against hers, “I should really change so you can look down again.” She started laughing as he kissed her again.

Love at First Bite - Terror. (Kyungsoo, pt. 6) [Chronicles of the Wolf series]
Tumblr media
Enjoy~!
-
Every word was an angry sentence as she started to beat the dumbstruck Kyungsoo mindlessly, her fists smacking into his chest.
"How long have you been near the capital, huh?! HOW LONG WAS HE NEAR ME AND HE LEFT ME IN THE DARK?!" her screams grew more desperate, and the hits weakened, even more so when Kyungsoo grabbed her wrists to still them.
"Junmi..." he murmured comfortingly, but she didn't let him finish.
"Do you have any freaking idea how long I've looked for you?! Do you know how many nights I stayed up, hoping one of you would come?!"
Kyungsoo's brows were drawn together guiltily, his lips curled down in a deep frown. "We thought..."
"Yes! Exactly!" Junmi hissed, beyond screaming. "You guys thought. You didn't consider what my thoughts on it might have been, what I wanted."
"Because your brother was busy considering what you need," he countered. "What was best for you."
Junmi broke, and when her shoulders dropped from her sobs, Kyungsoo was there to support her. His arms wound tight around her shoulders, and you almost broke down in tears yourself at the sight.
"I've missed you, Junmi..."
"I-I... I've missed y-you too, Kyungie..."
You blinked, then turned away from the intimate reunion. You retreated into the kitchen, a dark feeling settling in your chest.
It was beautiful that Junmi now knew where they were. Now, she had a way to reunite with her brother. But now, did that also mean that along with losing Kyungsoo to the forest after this witch fiasco... you were also losing Junmi..?
"___?"
You turned to face the pair of voices, realizing belatedly that tears were streaming silently down your cheeks.
Kyungsoo's eyes flashed dark, and he was at your side immediately, thumbs brushing the tears away. "What happened?"
Junmi stepped up behind him, frowning in concern. "___-ie..."
"No-...no, I..." you moved away from Kyungsoo's hands, wiping off the tears with a small chuckle. It was better to lie now than to really say what was happening. You were sure Junmi didn't know about the witch.
"I'm...I'm just happy...I know that you've been looking for your brother for a long time and now that you found him..." you chuckled, shaking your head.
"I don't even know why I'm crying..."
Kyungsoo's relief sagged his shoulders, but he caught your chin in one hand, brushing your tears away with a sigh. Junmi smiled at him before patting your shoulder comfortingly.
"Thanks, ____-ie... Stop crying, okay? You're gonna give Kyungie a heart attack."
You clenched your eyes shut, unable to look Kyungsoo in the eye. "I'm s-sorry," you hiccuped.
"Don't say that..." Kyungsoo's warm voice told you before you were dragged into his arms. "It's okay..."
"You two... are perfect for each other."
Within Kyungsoo's arms, you felt the sob shake your body. Reluctantly, you pushed away from him, the tears starting all over again. "Unnie..." you mumbled in shock before turning away from Junmi's confusion and Kyungsoo's frown.
"Oh. What did I say?"
"Don't say things like that..." Kyungsoo muttered, voice heavy. "Look, you've made her cry all over again..."
"Ah, I did?" Junmi chuckled a bit nervously, scratching the back of her head.
"I wasn't around you for a long time, I don't quite remember how it goes..." she explained with a guilty expression, and you shook your head, still not able to leave Kyungsoo's arms.
"It's...it's okay...I just wasn't able to catch much sleep yesterday and...I always get like this when I don't sleep well."
"Oh, is that it? I'm so sorry for interrupting your evening, with me dashing in here and screaming around...I just..." Junmi suddenly started to look a bit uncomfortable, as she looked anywhere else but Kyungsoo and you.
"I have to ask...How...How is Baekhyun oppa?"
Kyungsoo raised an eyebrow, and you forced yourself away, fiddling with random things in thr cupboard as they spoke.
Kyungsoo's sigh made Junmi visibly nervous. "He's alive..."
Her eyebrows pinched together. "...Oh?"
"Surviving."
"I... see. Then, when can I see them?"
"What? Junmi, I-" Kyungsoo's hesitation had Junmi bristling defensively.
"You can't tell me I can't see my brother. I deserve this after all these years."
"Yes, but-.... Junmi, you've settled here. You can't expect Junmyeon-hyung to just-"
"I belong there! With him!" She gestured to you, and you almost squeaked before heading to the door. "You can't tell me you would leave ___ here? This is just the same. We belong there with you guys."
Kyungsoo growled, pulling Junmi's arms to her sides and stepping so he blocked her from your view. Almost imperceptibly, hoping you couldn't hear, he hissed. "She doesn't know."
"O-oh." That seemed to mollify her, and Kyungsoo sighed in relief when all you did was step out of the room.
"How could you not tell her..?" Junmi murmured, voice settling with concern.
Kyungsoo glanced over his shoulder, to where you'd just disappeared. He frowned. "She has a life here. It's not safe in the forest, Junmi-ah..."
"As if you wouldn't do everything in your power to make it safe for her. She's yours, isn't she..?"
Kyungsoo chuckled at her perceptive remark. "How could you possibly have known..?"
Her hushed laugh made him raise an eyebrow. "Maybe if you weren't so obvious."
"Well, she hasn't gotten that..."
Junmi shrugged. "___-ie doesn't like to assume those things. She's shy... and anyway, she has this strange notion about what kind of men she attracts."
A rumble sounded in Kyungsoo's chest. "Like..?"
Junmi waved his pang of jealousy away. "It doesn't matter. You're here anyway."
Kyungsoo sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Oi, you can't just say things like that and expect me to leave them be..." Junmi rolled her eyes at the jealous mate, taking a seat behind the table.
"Doesn't matter now, oppa. Why isn't the forest safe?" Kyungsoo sighed again, following her example and settling himself behind his now cold tea.
"I don't think you want to know, Junmi..."
"I actually do, since I go there every now and then to pick mushrooms. I think it would be nice to know what is going to jump me, since I'm going alone most of the time." Kyungsoo's eyes turned red, and he looked up to stare at Junmi with a fierce expression.
"You can't go in there alone anymore. I forbid it."
She scowled. "Not that you have the right to forbid me to do anything since you guys haven't been around."
That gave Kyungsoo pause. As much as he wanted to be frustrated at her disrespect, he was more frustrated at the hurt in her voice. "Junminie..."
"Sorry," she muttered. "Just... tell me. I really want to see them. I've waited so long for this, oppa."
Kyungsoo rubbed a hand over his face, sighing. "It's dangerous. For now, can we please just leave it at that? And if you need to be going into the forest, I'll take you."
She sighed, shaking her head.
"That won't be fair for ___. Since you didn't tell her yet, she might jump into conclusions and be hurt." Junmi looked down on her hands in her lap.
"Well, then tell me what mushrooms you need and I'll go pick them and bring them for you." Kyungsoo said with a determined look in his eyes.
"Just promise me, Junmiie, that you won't go into that forest by yourself, and under no circumstances at night. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't be able to survive it, and I'm pretty sure Joon-hyung and Baek would kill me."
Junmi's pout was intense, but Kyungsoo didn't budge on the issue, and she was forced to concede. "Fine... but you have to find a way for me to see them."
Kyungsoo sighed.
"Promise me," she insisted, to which Kyungsoo could only groan.
"Okay, fine. I'll figure something out. Now... ___..." Kyungsoo was careful to keep his voice low, in case you were listening in. "I... don't know how to tell her..."
"Unnie?" Junmi's mouth split into a grin. "Just tell her. She already likes you, anyway~"
Kyungsoo groaned.
"This isn't just some crush, Junminie...this is an imprint. What if I scare her off?" Junmi cocked her eyebrow at the concerned wolf, sarcasm dripping from her features.
"Yeah, because I'm pretty sure she'd be all against having a very attractive supernatural boyfriend for a long time. Especially with unnie's history." Kyungsoo growled, his fist unintentionally slamming against the table.
"Could you just tell me about that? Please?"
"It's not for me to tell." Junmi chuckled at the distressed man, reaching out to grab his hand.
"Don't worry, oppa. Just do it when it feels natural. I promise her reaction will be positive. Hell, I would do anything to be imprinted. You guys are the dream."
Kyungsoo raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what you mean. You should see Jongdae and Chanyeol now."
Junmi giggled. "I remember Jonginnie and Sehunnie... and how we always got in trouble with Joonie oppa."
Kyungsoo chuckled. "Yeah. They're still just as bad. I bet you are too."
Junmi's mouth curled coyly. "No~ I'm perfectly good. Are the others.... Are they mated?"
Kyungsoo nodded. "Most. Chanyeol was first. Jongdae and Minseok hyung next. Jongin may have found his in the capital... Sehunnie is still waiting, but I wouldn't be surprised if he came next."
"Ah..." Junmi hesitated. "My brother? A-and Baekhyun oppa..?"
"Joonmyun hyung, Baekhyun, and Sehun are the only ones left..."
He almost couldn't cover the grin when he saw the small light of hope flicker in Junmi's eyes. So her body felt the pull, too, yet she still didn't quite know about it. Kyungsoo will have good news to tell the alcoholic wolf when he comes home.
"Well, it's getting late...the guards are going to start their rounds, so I should go...you should, too." Junmi rose from her seat, straightening her skirt and throwing her cloak over her back. When she saw Kyungsoo's expression, she smirked a little.
"Or not. Enjoy the night, Kyungie." She said in a sing-song voice, and she leaned down to kiss Kyungsoo's cheek. The wolf chuckled, patting the girl's back and shaking his head.
"Be careful, Junmi. I'll try to keep in contact." The younger woman glared at him, standing by the door.
"You meant to say that you will keep in contact. And I'm awaiting word from you next week, or I'm coming out there to find you."
"Alright, alright." Kyungsoo agreed with a chuckle, giving Junmi one last hug before watching her disappear into the night. When he couldn't see her anymore, he closed the door with a sigh, letting his eyes rest for a little and gather his thoughts.
He's alone now. Alone with you. And damn, if his wolf wasn't rumbling sweet, sinful ideas what to do with you...
With another sigh, Kyungsoo went upstairs, from where he heard you shuffle around. He went down the long hall, his ears straining to hear you better, until you flew out at him from the door to his right, immediately stumbling into him, warm, wet and clean from the shower.
"O-oh, s-sorry, I figured I-!"
Kyungsoo panicked. He closed his eyes, nearly flinging you off him in a last ditch attempt to save you because his beast's rumbled approval was so instant, so strong, that you were in danger of being tossed over his shoulder so he could bring you into your room and lock you in for at least the rest of the night.
You groaned, and Kyungsoo whined regretfully. He didn't want to turn around fearing risking it, so he mumbled his apology turned around. "I didn't mean to just- I mean, Junminie just left, so... umm... I'll wait for you downstairs."
Kyungsoo had to force himself to take steps away - away from where he could sense your warmth, could smell your sweet scent.
There, on the couch in your living room, he took deep breaths to calm himself. It was important for himself to keep calm. He will be here the whole night. Alone. With no supernatural ears to hear what he could be doing to you. It is completely vital to stay calm, or he will take you. And it is important that he will not take you just yet.
He needs you to know that you are his mate before he does anything remotely close to marking you as his.
With a clearing of throat, Kyungsoo turned to look at you standing on the stairs, dressed in a comfortable sweater and warm pants. You were sporting an adorable blush on your face and Kyungsoo couldn't help the small smile on his face.
"All clean?" He asked you and you nodded in answer, reciprocating his smile.
"Do you want to...continue cooking?"
He shrugged. "Sure."
Even before he saw you following, he was already making a beeline for the kitchen. This wasn't good for him. This isn't a good situation.
"Kyungsoo..?"
"Mm?" He gathered an armful of vegetables, moving them to a cutting board before taking some frustration out with whatever random piece he got hold of first.
"Is Junmi... okay..?"
"Oh." He glanced at you as you set a pot on the stove. "Yeah... She's demanding I let her see Joonmyun hyung, of course... but it makes sense."
You hummed your agreement. "And... when you go back to the forest... You'll be taking her with you?"
Kyungsoo raised an eyebrow. "Well, I'm not leaving until I'm absolutely sure you're safe... but I guess that's entirely up to her and her brother..."
You nodded, all your attempts to continue at a conversation halted. It went like this during the cooking- none of you said a word, unless it was something about the meal you were preparing. Every minute, you felt your heart sink because what if Kyungsoo didn't want to talk to you and what if you should just let him go after Junmi and go home?
You left the meat to suck up the seasonings in the fridge and the two of you went out into the living room, chased out in front of the fire by the cold weather.
All you honestly wanted to do was curl up under Kyungsoo's arm but all you could do is pull out a book and indulge yourself, trying to ignore the worked up wolf.
"If... the witch doesn't come bother you..."
You looked up from the book you weren't even paying attention to, glad to be rid of the same row of scrawls you've read about six times.
Kyungsoo hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck with a sigh. "...would you be alright with me coming to visit?"
Your mouth fell open, jaw lax. "Y-yes..." you said breathlessly, touching your too-warm cheek. “Of course. I'd... love that."
Kyungsoo's lips curled up, the heart shape making you smile too. You got up, intending to check on the food. Considering Kyungsoo's proposition, your spirits were lifted about a hundred times more than just a few minutes ago. But you were surprised when he followed you.
"You can stay in there," you said with a giggle.
"I can't. I can't help it anymore."
Kyungsoo rushed at you, scooping you up and dropping you atop the counter. His hands cupped your face, his head tilting so he could slant his mouth over yours for a heated kiss.
You mewled into his mouth, but you opened for him when his tongue pressed into your mouth. Your thighs squeezed him closer, your hands rested naturally on his chest as he brought you as close as possible and stole your breath.
So wrong... your mind kept reminding you. For all you knew, Kyungsoo had a mate, and he just didn't want to tell you outright. Then again, you were the one who agreed to let him keep visiting... your brain tsk'd.
Your eyebrows knitted with worry, and Kyungsoo pulled back just as he felt the tension seize your body.
"____..."
He was just opening his mouth to whisper your name in concern when you heard the echo from outside.
Your blood ran cold instantly.
"K-Kyungsoo..?" you breathed.
His face hardened, his hold on you tightening when the voice rang out again - this time shriller, louder.
A sob caught in your throat.
"You stay here." Kyungsoo kissed you reassuringly before running to the window right beside your back door - the door closest to the edge of the forest.
You slapped your hands over your mouth when the voice called for you again. Her voice was getting higher, sharper. Enough to elicit more shivers, more fear. Oh god.
"Kyungsoo!"
He pulled the curtain back from the window, just enough for him to see out into the darkness. The stiffening of his shoulders told you everything you needed to know.
"Shit..." he hissed. He made sure to close the curtain back, covering all view to the outside as a shrill laughter began, making your stomach curl almost painfully. Kyungsoo checked the lock to the back door before leaving to check the front door as well, inspecting all windows along the way.
"___, it's okay!"
Hot tears were tracking down your face as you glued yourself against the counter.
"____." He came to you as the cackling got louder, his arms smothering most noises from your ears as he wrapped you up in a warm embrace. "Shh~ Shh. She can't get in here. She won't."
"Kyungsoo..." you cried, arms squeezing around him.
"She won't." His voice was firm as his hold around you tightened.
And suddenly, the voice was silent. Just... gone. And in the silence, you realized that you were sobbing.
It was almost unnatural, the silence. You realized that too late, because your head was already lifting and your eyes froze at the spot near your fridge.
She got inside.
Just the way Yijie described her, torn, dirty rags were hanging from the withered frame, covering only most necessities and leaving the greenish, rotting flesh on display. Her whole body was dried, skin losing its tightness and hung from her bones, long, dirty nails growing from her fingertips, making you sure that she could cause damage.
And the face. Oh my god, the face.
Her mouth was dented into an insane grin, showing only the few remaining yellow teeth that she possessed and the yellow eyes that seemed to devour you in whole and make your body lax with the amount of fear it was dealing with.
Still, you were capable of one last scream, your eyes still frozen to the spot she disappeared from.
"She was here, Kyungsoo! She got inside!"
Kyungsoo's look hardened as he cupped your face into his hands.
"___, where do you keep the salt?" His request seemed so absurd, you just gawked at him with wide eyes.
"What?"
"The salt, ___, give me all the salt you have!" His voice was much urgent now, making you snap out of the initial confusion as you reached for the small packet of salt under the cabinet. Kyungsoo snatched it away and grabbed you by the wrist, pulling you upstairs and into your bedroom.
"Get on the bed." He ordered you quickly and before you could even ask why, you were climbing up and Kyungsoo was finishing a circle made out of salt around it and jumping in next to you.
The witch appeared again, but instead of looking just crazy, she looked mad.
"She can't pass the salt." Kyungsoo whispered, watching her every movement.
"She can't hurt you when you're in a ring of salt."
You couldn't blink as the witch glared at the ring of salt, then at the two of you. At Kyungsoo's bared fangs, the red in his eyes threatening.
Her mouth curled into a sick smile, the crazy look on her face making you shudder. She didn't speak, didn't make any other move. But somehow you knew.
She was telling you she'd be back.
You broke as soon as she disappeared, just fading into the backdrop like she was never there. Kyungsoo's arms wound around you, and he dragged you against his body as you cried.
"What does she want? What did I do?"
Kyungsoo sighed. "I... don't know, ___... I don't know..."

Verifying a list of “hateful feminist quotes”. (From F to M)
Continuing my checking of whether these quotes are actually hateful opinions of feminists (instead of, say, non-hateful opinions, or opinions we can’t know where they came from, or fictional opinions made by fictional characters...) or not.
"I was, in reality, bred by my parents as my father's concubine... What we take for granted as the stability of family life may well depend on the sexual slavery of our children. What's more, this is a cynical arrangement our institutions have colluded to conceal.".
Sylvia Fraser Journalist
Unverifiable. Once again, the only places where this quote is cited is from this same copy-pasted “hateful feminist quotes” list, which I’ve shown (and will keep showing) over and over to be fucking dishonest, to say the least. By this point, NOBODY would give it the benefit of the doubt.
"All men are rapists and that's all they are"
Marilyn French, Authoress; later, advisoress to Al Gore's Presidential Campaign.
Fictional - it comes from "The Women’s Room" (1977). Specifically, Val (one of the fictional characters in the book) says it right after her daughter has been raped.
"All patriarchists exalt the home and family as sacred, demanding it remain inviolate from prying eyes. Men want privacy for their violations of women... All women learn in childhood that women as a sex are men's prey."
Marilyn French, The Women's Room, Summit Books, 1977
True, but not hateful (and not from "The Women's Room"). It's definitely a denunciation of the rigid gender roles that put the man as the family’s head, and the woman as the servant who has to serve the man - even sexually. Notice how she talks about “patriarchists”? Yeah, those are the people who want to enforce those gender roles.
"The media treat male assaults on women like rape, beating, and murder of wives and female lovers, or male incest with children, as individual aberrations...obscuring the fact that all male violence toward women is part of a concerted campaign."
Marilyn French, The Women's Room, Summit Books, 1977
True, but not hateful (and not from "The Women's Room"). She was talking about rape culture, or one aspect of it - specifically: the refusal to see violence against women as a systemic issue. It’s easier to blame social problems on single deranged individuals (which are “not me”) rather than admit that they’re social problems (and thus “also me”); but it doesn’t solve those problems. This is what French was denouncing.
"My feelings about men are the result of my experience. I have little sympathy for them. Like a Jew just released from Dachau, I watch the handsome young Nazi soldier fall writhing to the ground with a bullet in his stomach and I look briefly and walk on. I don't even need to shrug. I simply don't care. What he was, as a person, I mean, what his shames and yearnings were, simply don't matter."
Marilyn French, Author "The Women's Room"
Again: fictional. "The Women's Room" is a fictional book.
“As long as some men use physical force to subjugate females, all men need not. The knowledge that some men do suffices to threaten all women. He can beat or kill the woman he claims to love; he can rape women…he can sexually molest his daughters… THE VAST MAJORITY OF MEN IN THE WORLD DO ONE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE.”
- Marilyn French
True, but not hateful; it has been massively (I suspect deliberately) edited. Here's the full quote, with the parts that anti-feminists chopped away in bold:
"As long as some men use physical force to subjugate females, all men need not. The knowledge that some men do suffices to threaten all women. Beyond that, it is not necessary to beat up a woman to bear her down. A man can simply refuse to hire women in well-paid jobs, extract as much or more work from women than men but pay them less, or treat women disrespectfully at work or at home. He can fail to support a child he has engendered, demand the woman he lives with wait on him like a servant. He can beat or kill the woman he claims to love; he can rape women, whether mate, acquaintance, or stranger; he can rape or sexually molest his daughters, nieces, stepchildren, or the children of a woman he claims to love. THE VAST MAJORITY OF MEN IN THE WORLD DO ONE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE."
So, yeah. Anti-feminists forgot to include job discrimination, general disrespect, and treating your wife like a servant to the list; with their omission, they try to make French appear as if she was saying "most men are rapists, murderers, or beaters of women". Pretty fucking dishonest, to say the least.
"My own informal survey of adult women suggests that very few reach the age of twenty-one without suffering some form of male predation--incest, molestation, rape or attempted rape, beatings, and sometimes torture or imprisonment."
Marilyn French, The War Against Women, Ballantine Books, 1992, p. 195)
Unverifiable and not hateful. Given the massive bullshit that happened with the previous quote, I now suspect that anti-feminists attempted the same trick here - cutting away stuff like job discrimination/general disrespect/being treated like a servant.
"The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race."
Sally Miller Gearhart, in The Future - If There Is One - Is Female.
Huh, look at that: a true and actually hateful quote. Good job. Have a cookie.
"[Men are] freaks of nature... full of queer obsessions about fetishistic activities and fantasy goals."
Germaine Greer, The Whole Woman, Knopf, 1999
Unverifiable. While various sources report the quote to try and attack Greer, I cannot find any part of the quote in the "The Whole Woman" ebook. Maybe there is, and I just cannot see it because it's just a preview, but I'm very doubtful.
"If women are to effect a significant amelioration in their condition it seems obvious that they must refuse to marry."
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch, McGraw-Hill, 1971, p. 317)
Unverifiable - same as the above - and probably not hateful, given that this is, once again, about forcing women into heteronormative gender roles and marriages. Maybe the quote really exists in the "The Female Eunuch" ebook; but I can't find it.
"...men bash women because they enjoy it; they torture women as they might torture an animal or pull the wings off flies."
Germaine Greer, The Whole Woman, Knopf, 1999
Unverifiable - see the previous. However, there are a few quotes where Greer points out that some men torture women, and very probably enjoyed doing so.
"The man regards (woman) as a receptacle into which he has emptied his sperm, a kind of human spittoon."
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch, McGraw-Hill, 1971)
Once again: unverifiable. But it looks like Greer here is talking about the attitude of many men at the time.
"Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release."
Germaine Greer
True, but not hateful. Here's the original quote from 1970 (again, the bolded part is the one that anti-feminists cut out):
"Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release. The problem of recidivism ought to have shown young men like John Greenaway just what sort of a notion security is, but there is no indication that he would understand it. Security is when everything is settled, when nothing can happen to you; security is the denial of life. Human beings are better equipped to cope with disaster and hardship than they are with unvarying security, but as long as security is the highest value in a community they can have little opportunity to decide this for themselves."
This isn’t about whether men should be all thrown in prison or not. This is about how putting “security” above everything else means stripping any choice from your life - which would make it so that it couldn’t even be called “life” at all.
In an interview Germaine Greer (radical feminist, writer) was asked the question, "You were once quoted as saying your idea of the ideal man is a woman with a dick. Are you still that way inclined?" Greer first denied that she had said it, and then replied, "I have a great deal of difficulty with the idea of the ideal man. As far as I'm concerned, men are the product of a damaged gene. They pretend to be normal but what they're doing sitting there with benign smiles on their faces is they're manufacturing sperm. They do it all the time. They never stop. I mean, we women are more reasonable. We pop one follicle every 28 days, whereas they are producing 400 million sperm for each ejaculation, most of which don't take place anywhere near an ovum. I don't know that the ecosphere can tolerate it."
Germaine Greer At a Hilton Hotel literary lunch, promoting her book, The Change-Women, Aging and the Menopause, Knopf, 1992 from a news report dated 11/14/91)
Unverifiable. It should say “SUPPOSEDLY from a newsreport THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND”. So, yet another unsourced quote.
Oh, and the “My ideal man is a woman with a dick” quote? ALSO unsourced.
"The nuclear family must be destroyed, and people must find better ways of living together…. Whatever its ultimate meaning, the breakup of families now is an objectively revolutionary process…. No woman should have to deny herself any opportunities because of her special responsibilities to her children…."
Linda Gordon in "Functions of the Family," WOMEN: A Journal of Liberation, Fall, 1969
True - this quote is actually a really existing quote. It’s also distinctly non-hateful of men. It’s distinctly angry at the social imposition of marriage and the nuclear family system, though - but remember: the wife was supposed to stay at home and obey her husband in everything, back in 1969.
"And if the professional rapist is to be separated from the average dominant heterosexual (male), it may be mainly a quantitative difference."
Susan Griffin
True, but not hateful. I’ve managed to track the quote. And guess what? It was a talk about how the social expectations of the time (this part was written in 1971) expected the woman to turn down sexual advances even if she desired them, because it was considered “unchaste” for a woman to desire sex; and expected the man to wear down the woman’s “reserves”, without checking whether the woman in question actually wanted the sex, or not. It the same part, Griffin explains how, *with this social system* (that she did NOT create, nor is she advocating for) the difference between “a man who wear down a woman’s reservations” and “a rapist” is simply in how much pressure they use to make the woman have sex with them.
“We live in a culture that condones and celebrates rape. Within a phallocentric, patriarchal state the rape of women by men is a ritual that daily perpetuates and maintains sexist oppression and exploitation. We cannot hope to transform “rape culture” without committing ourselves fully to resisting and eradicating patriarchy.”
–Bell Hooks, “Seduced by Violence No More,” in Stan, Adele ed. Debating Sexual Correctness (New York, 1995)
True, but not hateful. The book is specifically talking about rape culture - aka a culture that, even if it claims that rape is wrong, in practice it fails to adequately deal with rape, instead blaming women for getting raped. This, in turn, allows sexist men to oppress women with next to no consequences.
"When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticizing her own oppression..."
Sheila Jeffreys
Unverifiable. HOORAAY!
“In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them”
(Dr. Mary Jo Bane, feminist and assistant professor of education at Wellesley College, and associate director of the school’s Center for Research on Woman).
Unverifiable, and probably not hateful. For starters, the source for this quote is Lew Rockwell, which is an INCREDIBLY far-right-biased source.
For another, the quote sounds like part of an argument in favor of the communal parenting, which is an argument that has been pretty explored. Also, note how she refers to communal parenting - not to women-only parenting.
"I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which a man structurally does not have. He does not have it not because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it."
Former US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan
Huh, look at that. This quote (it’s reported in a 1992 issue of Texas Monthly, but the actual quote doesn’t have a date) is actually true, and does sound hateful. Can someone check out the score? Because, at the time of this writing, I checked 42 quotes, only 2 (possibly 3) of which were verified to be true and actually hateful.
"Marriage has existed for the benefit of men and has been a legally sanctioned method of control over women.... Male society has sold us the idea of marriage.... Now we know it is the institution that has failed us and we must work to destroy it.... The end of the institution of marriage is a necessary condition for the liberation of women. Therefore, it is important for us to encourage women to leave their husbands and not to live individually with men."
Nancy Lehmann, Helen Sullinger, Declaration of Feminism, 1971
Unverifiable. Apparently there is a book titled "The document: a declaration of feminism" published in 1971; but there's no way to verify if that quote actually exists. And the link I provided is basically the only source of that book's existance - outside of the edited quote above, which is present only in anti-feminist websites.
There is also the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen", written by Olympe de Gouges in 1791. Coincidence? I have no idea. Maybe it is.
"Man-hating is everywhere, but everywhere it is twisted and transformed, disguised, tranquilized, and qualified. It coexists, never peacefully, with the love, desire, respect, and need women also feel for men. Always man-hating is shadowed by its milder, more diplomatic and doubtful twin, ambivalence."
Judith Levine
Maybe true, but there is no context. I can’t make heads or tails of what it actually means. It’s the same case as some of the Dworkin quotes - no indication of the work or the context it was taken from.
"I feel what they feel: man-hating, that volatile admixture of pity, contempt, disgust, envy, alienation, fear, and rage at men. It is hatred not only for the anonymous man who makes sucking noises on the street, not only for the rapist or the judge who acquits him, but for what the Greeks called philo-aphilos, 'hate in love,' for the men women share their lives with--husbands, lovers, friends, fathers, brothers, sons, coworkers."
Judith Levine, My Enemy, My love
Unverifiable. The only sources talking about this quote are anti-feminist ones.
"There are no boundaries between affectionate sex and slavery in (the male) world. Distinctions between pleasure and danger are academic; the dirty-laundrylist of 'sex acts'...includes rape, foot binding, fellatio, intercourse, auto eroticism, incest, anal intercourse, use and production of pornography, cunnilingus, sexual harassment, and murder."
Judith Levine; summarizing comment on the WAS document, (A southern Women's Writing Collective: Women Against Sex.)
The quote itself is unverifiable and not hateful, given that all of those acts have been (1) used by men against women, and (2) justified as “normal” sexuality by those same men.
However, the bit where the anti-feminist author of this list talks about “Women Against Sex” is false: the real title of the document Levine was talking about was "Sex resistance in heterosexual arrangements: Manifesto of the Southern Women’s Writing Collective". Because making up a false title to demonize feminists is acceptable behavior, am I right, anti-feminists? (# sarcasm)
"Men's sexuality is mean and violent, and men so powerful that they can 'reach WITHIN women to fuck/construct us from the inside out.' Satan-like, men possess women, making their wicked fantasies and desires women's own. A woman who has sex with a man, therefore, does so against her will, 'even if she does not feel forced."
Judith Levine
Slightly unverifiable - I can’t find neither a scan, nor the citation for the full Levine quote. What I did find was the book Levine was looking at - My Enemy, My Love (1993), a book that talks about “gender roles, the social definitions of masculinity and femininity, the culture’s assignment of certain exclusive traits to each biological sex, [which] have imprisoned us on either side of a divide”. Also: no mention about whether the women interviewed by Levine were feminists or not, and in particular, no mention of the context for the quote.
"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman."
Catherine MacKinnon
False. The quote apparently comes from Playboy, Oct 1986; but it wasn’t written by MacKinnon, nor anyone was able to track the instance where she supposedly originally said/wrote that.
"You grow up with your father holding you down and covering your mouth so another man can make a horrible searing pain between your legs."
Catherine MacKinnon, Feminism Unmodified: Discourses of Life and Law – Sex and Violence: A Perspective, Harvard University Press, 1987
True, but out of context. From what I can understand, this is from yet another discussion about non-con pornography (“Only Words”, 1993); MacKinon wasn't talking about families in general.
What's with anti-feminists taking discussions about problematic and sexist porn and deciding that feminists were talking about everyday life? What, do anti-feminist believe that pornography is an accurate representation of real li-
Nevermind, let's move on...
"Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist/Communist government is the goal of feminism."
Catherine MacKinnon" Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (First Harvard University Press, 1989), p.10
False. The quote is completely absent from MacKinnon's book, or any of her books. Apparently, this is a slightly modified quote from "The Unhappy Marriage of Marxism and Feminism".
"In a patriarchal society, all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent."
Catherine MacKinnon
Misattributed. The quote itself comes from "Professing Feminism", which wasn't written by MacKinnon, but by Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge; they were talking about MacKinnon and Dworkin's opinions - they weren't quoting them. (And no, neither Dworkin nor MacKinnon believed that intercourse is rape.). The misattribution was caused by right-wing columnist Cal Thomas, who wrote an article about "Professing Feminism" and mistakenly attributed that quote to MacKinnon.
“The care of children ..is infinitely better left to the best trained practitioners of both sexes who have chosen it as a vocation…[This] would further undermine family structure while contributing to the freedom of women.”
–Kate Millet, Sexual Politics 178-179
Misattributed. Here, Millet isn't talking about his own beliefs; he's talking about Engels's. Specifically, he's talking about how the idea that "The woman is naturally the one best equipped to raise a child" has the effects of:
Put a limitation on the woman, but not the man. If the woman wants to, say, pursue a career, she's forced to deal with child-raising AND with pursuing the career; the man has to deal only with the latter, because society pressures the woman into doing the former.
It's inefficient, because you just decide that the woman is the one most capable of raising a kid, instead of looking at which person is the most capable.
"We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage."
Robin Morgan.-From Sisterhood Is Powerful, (ed), 1970, p. 537
True, but not hateful. Again: “marriage” presupposed that the woman stayed at home and obeyed her husband in everything. I fail to see how being against the imposition of this kind of marriage/gender roles is hateful.
"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them."
Robin Morgan.-former president of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and editor of MS magazine
True (1973). I also fail to see what’s wrong with “class-hatred”, aka being justifiably angry with the oppressing class while fighting against its privileges. I mean, I do understand that nobody shouldn’t oppress anyone else even if they were oppressed beforehand, but here we’re talking about expressing justified anger against an oppressive system, and wanting to dismantle it. What, is that illegal now?
"I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire."
Robin Morgan.
True, but not hateful. I fail to see where’s the problem with this quote. It’s basically the concept of “yes means yes” - you don’t have sex with anyone unless they want it. ...Oh, wait, now I see why anti-feminists have a problem with this quote.
"And let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism--the lie that there can be such a thing as 'men's liberation groups.' Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group, specifically because of a 'threatening' characteristic shared by the latter group--skin, color, sex or age, etc. The oppressors are indeed FUCKED UP by being masters, but those masters are not OPPRESSED. Any master has the alternative of divesting himself of sexism or racism--the oppressed have no alternative--for they have no power but to fight. In the long run, Women's Liberation will of course free men--but in the short run it's going to cost men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily. Sexism is NOT the fault of women--kill your fathers, not your mothers".
Robin Morgan.
True (1970), but not hateful. This shows a big miscommunication problem between MRAs and feminists. See, many feminists define sexism not as “acts of individual discrimination against a gender”, but as “an oppressive social system where one gender is treated as inferior”. By that logic, what MRAs claim is “sexism against men”, feminists call it "discrimination against men", but not "sexism against men", because women did NOT create this system where masculinity is put on a (very narrow) pedestal and femininity is derided. As Morgan put it:
"The oppressors are indeed FUCKED UP by being masters, but those masters are not OPPRESSED. Any master has the alternative of divesting himself of sexism or racism—the oppressed have no alternative—for they have no power but to fight. In the long run, Women’s Liberation will of course free men—but in the short run it’s going to cost men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily."
You can’t compare the situation of an oppressed class (who has to tear down the system biased against it) with that of the privileged class (who actually made the biased system in the first place and could fix it). And what Morgan is saying is correct. Systematic oppression divide society in a privileged group (which has a certain amounts of benefits that the oppressed do not have, and/or is exempt from various disadvantages that instead the oppressed do face) and an oppressed one. Dismantling such a system DOES damage the privileged group, because it takes away their privileges - privileges that they shouldn't have in the first place, and that are based on the oppression of marginalized groups.
“My white skin disgusts me. My passport disgusts me. They are the marks of an insufferable privilege bought at the price of others’ agony.”
-Robin Morgan
Not hateful. From the looks of it, here Morgan is talking about the effects of white colonialism and racism - specifically how they benefit white or white-passing people such as her. For example: being allowed to travel or emigrate wherever you want and be treated as a person, while non-white immigrants are by default believed to be violent criminals, murderers, and rapists.
