I'm obsessive over my Constantine Jr Au (which still needs a fic name for, I'm open to suggestions) because

this is a cranky danny. he's spent years fighting with no end in sight, with parents who he can't trust and his only companions never truly understanding what he's going through.

he vapes CBD for the pain he's constantly in. he drank alco/hol once to help him sleep, but his parents smelt it on his breath and, just like with their research, took that to believe EVERYTHING they'd ever suspected about danny to be true: that he drinks, he does dru/gs, he's in a gang. the only thing they've never suspected their son of--being a ghost--is the one thing he actually does.

then, right on the cusp of eighteen and freedom, he gets outed. AND transformed into a seven-year-old.

this is not a danny who is willing to play at being a child. and if anyone tries to, they're in for a foul time.

Danny was 17, transformed into a 7 year old and hides in Bludhaven, and is 8 when the police finally figure out that, hey, this weird kid who keeps altering us to crime scenes is usually right on the money about who the killer is, we should investigate that. Officer Grayson is on the case!

And discovers that he absolutely can't STAND this kid.

He thought he liked kids! Everyone thought he liked kids! but this kid...

This isn't called the Constantine Jr AU because Danny is a supernatural detective, or because Danny might be Constantine's kid. Its because Danny is an unrepentant little bas/tard and he makes it everyone's problem.

Danny vapes and blows bubblegum smoke in Grayson's face.

He takes out a flask and Grayson's grabs it, learning its full of orange juice. Danny then takes out a second flask, this one with vod/ka.

He wears a trenchcoat he found in the trash (the same trenchcoat Nightwing wears in DC vs Vampires, if you know you know) but the end and the sleeves are cut off for his hands and legs. the pockets are roughly around his knees.

Grayson is desperate to figure out more about this kid, but he doesn't go to batman because, time-line wise, this is right before red hood starts running around. Jason is dead/alive-in-hiding, Tim is Robin, and Dick is mad about it. (ages-- Bruce: ? Nightwing: 24 Jason: 19 Tim: 15 Danny: 8 Damien: 7-8)

he doesn't really bond with the kid until they're both kidnapped by a gang for hostages, and Danny's big kid emotions get a hold of him (he thought he could escape them bc he's an adult, he's gone through worse, but nope! child brain chemistry). Grayson is worried that he's hurt and in pain, but Danny confesses that he's always in pain. he has nerve damage all over his body, and the only thing he really trusts is CBD. He feels like shit for taking his juul away, but more importantly, because he's been treating Danny like a irritant and just a little kid.

they get rescued and Grayson tries to take him back to his home, but Danny reveals he's homeless, saying something like "I sleep where it suits me, just drop me off whereever."

Absolutely not, Grayson is taking kid back to his place for a bed, food, and a shower, in whatever order the kid wants.

Danny stays semi-perminantly at his apartment, but Nightwing tries not to push it, because this kid practically screams flight risk. unfortunately, the paparazzi have nothing better to do and snap a pick of Grayson and Danny getting dinner together, speculating that Dick's taken after Bruce

Danny doesn't care too much; I think his ghost form is the same, if glitchy, so his parents don't know about the deaging. Grayson is mildly panicking, but its not like he HASN'T been considering adopting the evil troglodyte. Even Bruce, Tim, and Alfred aren't the problem.

No, the problem is the Red Hood, a crime boss who just cut 8 people's heads off, seeing what looks like Nightwing pulling an innocent kid into the neverending fight against crime and Seeing Green.

Edit: Had to censor sh!t because ths wasn't showing up in the tags

#constantine jr au #dp x dc #dc x dp prompt #deaged danny fenton #c: danny fenton #c: dick grayson #c: jason todd #dp crossover #dc crossover #i love the idea of nightwing just HATING danny before getting to know him #because he's still hung up about the Tim problem #but also because danny is just a little sh!t #I really want Jazz to be involved in this story somehow #as nightwing's eventual love interest #but the main point of this story is for dick to break past danny defenses to give him a loving parent again #damien's going to HATE danny in the future #bc danny's smart and grayson HIS batman adopted him and takes him out on cases as civilians #damien clearly is going to try to compete with danny for nightwing's attention and love #despite it not being necessary

Top 10 worst Bruce dad moments?

So here's the thing. I'm not actually like. That well versed in the comics yet? Again like. Only been here for about six months. But I'll do my best anyway

10. Firing Dick

HE FIRED DICK FROM BEING ROBIN. THE NICKNAME HIS MOTHER GAVE HIM. THEN GAVE SAID NICKNAME TO ANOTHER CHILD. WHAT THE FUCK.

9. Steph as Robin

Honestly everything about this is a mess. I've only read a few pages from this arc but Tim quitting being Robin was a really difficult decision and Bruce's response was to give the job to Tim's sort-of-ex girlfriend and then treat her like crap. I believe it's canonically cause she reminded him too much of Jason, but that might just be the fandom's reading of the subtext; either way, if the shoe fits...

8. Telling Damian if he was there, Alfred wouldn't have died

What the FUCK, Bruce, that is your SON. COMFORT HIM FOR THE LOSS OF HIS GRANDFATHER

7. Robin!Tim in general

Listen intentional or not Tim is written as a character that has very much internalized needing to be useful being more important than anything else. His parents simply prioritize work over him point blank - his dad doesn't even remember his birthday, for God's sake - and Bruce simply like. Does not help with this. If anything he takes advantage of it. Tim needs to be loved unconditionally, like, STAT, like, that would fix 70% of his identity issues kinda STAT, and I'm not sure he's ever felt that with Bruce

6. Free space: any time he's hit one of his children that I don't know about

I once reblogged a post that detailed every time he hit Dick but that's long gone into the ether now, I can't find it. Anyway there's no excuse to hit your child. Don't fucking do it. They shouldn't hit you, either, doesn't make it ok for you to do if they've done it fyi. Batman can do non violent solutions, we know this, so fucking use those on your children.

5. Reviving the joker

I believe Dick isn't necessarily mad about not having murdered a man basically in cold blood, but I am. What the fuck, Bruce. You tried to kill him twice, you really wanna tell me you don't understand the urge and NEED to kill him??? And then you BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE??? Again. As I've said. What the FUCK

4. Killing Dick and sending him off to Spyral

Actually Dick shouldn't ever forgive Bruce for anything he's ever done to him ever. Have you seen the panels where they have this argument? His family GRIEVES him and for what!!!! For WHAT

(I understand Grayson itself is actually great I wouldn't know I haven't read it. Doesn't make what Bruce did okay tho. I'm also not sure I trust the positive reviews it's written by Tim Seeley and Tom King like......)

3. RHatO Rebirth #25

Penguin didn't fucking die. He didn't get shot in the face with a real bullet. You don't beat your son half to death to the point where he needs to be RESCUED from you - actually no need to qualify that sentence with the intended "over something that didn't actually happen", you simply don't beat your son half to death, should be a no brainer and YET

2. UTRH end scene

Heartbreaking. We all know at this point. Batarang to the throat. Chooses the Joker over Jason. It's enough to make a fully grown (25 next month) man (eh) cry (I mean. Yeah)

1. INTENTIONALLY TRIGGERING JASON

See here for the ask where I talked about this (and which is presumably the ask that led to this anon). Taking Jason to Ethiopia with no warning when he's cooperating anyway just to intentionally trigger him in order to try to get Damian back to life when you never did anything like that for Jason? Holy fucking shit, you know? Just betrayal after betrayal after betrayal

Anyway I'm sure this list is missing some major moments and I'd love to know what I forgot about or, more likely, simply don't know about! I love a well written good dad!Bruce fic but lbr that's just not what he's like in canon. Calling him a mixed bag as a father figure is an understatement

#batfam #batman #bruce wayne #jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #stephanie brown #damian wayne #utrh #rhato #dc #gail speaks #ask #anonymous #don't ask me what the top ten good dad moments are #I'll just list Bruce trying to kill the Joker in a death in the family ten times #dc meta

god I love that "he sounds like a cool guy" and both their smiles with ted and trent's dad making the same joke it's just......trent's vibes of I want to introduce this man to my parents and everyone I know they'd love him so much I'm so in love with him. it's one of those lines that just has you speedrunning the relationship in your head. "he sounds like a cool guy" "so the caribbean or the maldives for our honeymoon?"

This is so very accurate! He's like "Yup that's the one, I think we'll have a spring wedding." And he never looked back.

I think about that scene a lot, like the whole scene and I can't get over how much it feels like a new beginning for the couple in a rom-com, if you know what I mean.

We've just had the inevitable betrayal of trust which breaks the couple apart, separates them (Trent's article)

The one who was betrayed is hurt but they still clearly care about the other person (Ted goes from being happy when he sees that Trent is texting him to sad. But then he still defends Trent when Keeley calls him a dick)

One of them realises that they miss the other one (Ted stops talking and is clearly upset that Trent isn't there, and confirms that he was worried that Trent had been in an accident)

The person who did the betrayal (Trent) makes a grand gesture (gets himself fired, like, he doesn't just quit, he makes sure that he's fired) and goes to find their love interest to tell them (he stands waiting for Ted outside the club). The love interest is surprised by the grand gesture (see below)

They start to patch things up, finding their way back to each other (Ted initiates the "Trent Crimm. Independent" joke and Trent finishes it, Ted has previously repeatedly joked with Trent in the press room, especially about Trent's "Trent Crimm, The Independent" thing, it's their thing)

They ignite the hope that they'll get back together one day (Ted says that he hopes their paths will cross again soon, Trent agrees and says that he loves Ted their chats, which is a callback to a previous milestone in their relationship)

One of them tries to take things further, for them to get closer again (Trent offers Ted a ride) but the hurt person isn't quite ready yet (Ted declines, but says he appreciates the offer)

One of them isn't ready for the other person to leave yet, so they call them back (Trent stops Ted and makes him turn around by saying his name and then wishing him good luck next season)

One of them then watches as the other person leaves (Trent looks at Ted even after Ted has turned his back to him and has started walking away)

And to put the com in rom-com, one of them does something silly/stupid because of their love for the other character (Trent misses the door handle to his car because he's still looking at Ted and then he realises that he's locked the keys in his car when he got out to look cool while waiting for Ted)

And don't get me started on season three, which is of course the continuation of their rom-com. Them being happy and excited to see each other again after they've spent time apart, Ted showing Trent that he's ready to let him back in properly by allowing him to write the book about the team. Ted "defending" Trent against Roy, Trent running after Ted to excitedly tell him that he believes in his tactic and so on.

So, um, this answer got away from me. Sorry about that. I just have a lot of feelings about this scene...

Hello! I hope you don't mind that I ask your opinion regarding other people's take on Bruce, because you are one of the people whose opinions about him I trust! 😄 I saw this post earlier (www(.)tumblr(.)com/mamawasatesttube/712242128960585728) and I do somewhat agree with it, but also I remember your reblogged post about multiple interpretations and contradictions, yet I am curious if this is something that, in your opinions, can coexist within one interpretation. (If you get what I mean. I hope it's not confusing) Thank you!

Hey, Anon! Thank you for the kind words, glad that the Blorbo that lives in my head resonates with you. I don't mind giving my thoughts on the subject, though with the note that it's simply as an exercise and not meant to be hostile; I found the post interesting too, and I'm answering with the intent of commentary.

My personal opinion is that OP's idea (at least in the post you sent me) of Good People, and Abusive Parent, and The Superhero Genre, is a bit black-and-white. If you think Good People would instantly condemn abuse, and that Abusive instantly means Bad, and whoever does not condemn Bad cannot be Good... yes, you would end up seeing these behaviors as contradictory, and incapable of coexisting. (Though I don't really agree that the premise of the Justice League is that they are Good People-- I would rather say they are people trying their best to Do Good. There's a distinction.)

But that's not how it works. Human beings are rife with contradiction. The thing is, Bruce doesn't see himself as abusive. The Family doesn't see him as abusive, since the narrative doesn't either. What's fascinating is that (despite the fact this is motivated by DC writers refusing to admit to Batman's flaws) this is a realistic depiction of a potentially abusive parent, and the justifications the people who love him come up with. Bruce's abusive patterns do not mean he hasn't been a good father too, they don't mean that he doesn't love his children, and his children know that. Hell, some of those behaviors happen because Bruce loves them, but has not learned healthy ways of expressing it-- which leads to a common way of thinking for abused individuals ("They hurt me because they love me"). Not only that, the Justice League has seen it too: Bruce caring about the Family, and being willing to lay down his life for them. They've seen much less of the bad stuff, and I will make the note that actually, there are Leaguers who have openly disliked and criticized Bruce because they disagree with his parenting methods, especially regarding Dick (like Green Arrow and the Flash). Even Clark has commented negatively on Bruce's behaviors regarding his kids, and has sometimes acted to counteract some of Bruce's harsher choices. So he does know how Bruce can be like, and he deals with it the way he best sees fit. Needless to say, Bruce doesn't exhibit manipulative tendencies towards Dick or Tim or the kids alone, but towards Clark and the League too. Bruce is quite good at making people believe what he himself needs to believe.

OP's post also makes it sound like Bruce and the League don't have conflicts, but before Clark and Bruce were friends, they fought and disagreed a lot. They still do. Bruce has had issues with multiple people in the League; the infamous JLA: Tower of Babel comes to mind, as one example of a significant conflict between Bruce and the League... Not even going into the fact that, as revealed during Identity Crisis, the League pretty much sanctioned for Batman to be mind wiped by Zatanna, because they knew Batman would never condone of what they had approved to do (brainwashing a villain against his will). If we're splitting hairs, is this something one would qualify as the actions of Good People?

My point is, applying rigid moral labels to these comic book characters... doesn't work. It'll never work. Not just because their world is so much more different than ours (for instance, in the real world, we'd consider it child abuse the second someone allowed kids in spandex to routinely risk their lives fighting criminals) and we suspend our disbelief in multiple ways, but also because these characters have a very long history, spanning decades. This lends itself to a lot of complexity. They've been written by so many people, with different ideas of right and wrong, and different agendas. Hence, you cannot truly go "Superheroes are universally Good, and if they don't abide by what we typically think is Good behavior, then they are Bad, and if they are Bad it all falls apart". Personally, I don't see the superhero genre as something that's supposed to model moral behavior, as something depicting characters we're supposed to always root for. No, they're more like the figures of Greek mythology. Flawed gods. We should be questioning their choices and learn from the very act of questioning itself; understand that no one and nothing is perfect, and that Good and Evil, as pure concepts, do not exist. They are constantly redefined and recreated by the people who believe in them.

#hope this helped Anon!#the summary is basically that yes. I think the way Bruce has been depicted CAN coexist in one interpretation #an interpretation of him as a deeply flawed person doing both good and bad... but always struggling to be better #which is what I am inspired by #asks #my meta #mention of abuse

Okay, hi, here I am oversharing on the internet again about my parents lol, but I swear sometimes they're right out of a damn romance movie. I was reminded of this a little with the Surprise Pregnancy trope and I'd love to one day see someone write something with an adoption aspect (hi I am an adoptee). Trigger warning, though, brief mention of miscarriages. So, my parents were never able to carry a pregnancy past first term and it broke my mother's heart because (beyond being a badass scientist) being a mother was one of her biggest dreams. I think it was two or three miscarriages before my mother decided she had to make some kind of peace with herself or she was gonna drive herself crazy. So, she decided if she was meant to be a mom, she had to trust that it would happen one day, but that she was also deliriously happy with the family she had with my dad and their goofy ass Bassett hound. And then, the night she felt she made this peace, she got a call from a student that had worked under her at the college she and my dad were employed at - the student was pregnant and had realized she wasn't ready to be a mother, was leaving her dick of a fiancé, and needed to know this baby was going somewhere that they'd be cared for and protected and loved to pieces. And my parents agreed immediately to adopt. And that's how I got here, raised by two of the coolest people on the planet and having grown up absolutely loved to pieces by my whole family <3 I'm not sure why I feel so comfy telling you my life story, lol, but you make it easy, and one day when the inspiration fairies visit, I may try and write about it.

RAI. This is beautiful. Your parents sound so incredible and I'm so glad you got to grow up with such a wonderful family because it also meant that I got to meet you! Even if only through Tumblr lol

I feel the same way about my best friend's family seeming like they can't be real. They've been through a ton of shit (like, a lot of shit), but sometimes they act like a fucking Hallmark movie, and I have told them all to their faces. They find it hilarious and have to admit that they agree.

I AM ALSO ADOPTED, HELLO.

My circumstances are a bit different. My parents already had two boys and wanted a girl so badly. My mom is a pied piper and adores kids (no joke. If there are kids around, I GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL GRAVITATE TOWARD HER). She would literally adopt every orphan in the world if my dad would let her.

They decided to adopt a girl and ended up doing it internationally. The main thing I know about my birth parents is that my mom was sixteen when she had me. But other than that, not too much.

I've struggled a lot with identity, but my mom is one of my favorite people in the world. My family is also very white and I am very Asian. So the funniest thing is that THEY WILL FORGET THAT I AM NOT WHITE BECAUSE THEY FORGET I AM NOT BLOOD. So, that has led to my mother filling out medical forms incorrectly and having to ask for a new one, and acquaintances thinking my brothers are cheating on their wives until they DRAMATICALLY point at me and go "SISTER. mEET MY SISTER. MY ASIAN SISTER." 😂😂😂

Which is also why I find the gif of the guy at a hockey game with his sister so hilarious:

I love that you feel comfortable enough to share with me! And I hope that you are having a wonderful day!!! 😊💕

some of my thoughts on link, zelda, and the champions

this post actually started off with me trying to answer the last part of this anon's ask, and then it spiraled into something else, so i'm going to have to make another post about the actual idea 😭 for now, you can have this long-ass fucking thinkpiece i typed up because i love the champions dearly and i wanted a much larger presence from them as i played botw. this post is really long so if you want to read it, please sit down and have a snack while you read.

so the last part of anon's original ask was about the champions singing together and the idea of a found family—

anonymous asked:

Also: imagine all champions, Link and Zelda hanging out on one of the Divine Beasts and singing a song together (i am very weak to champions being a found family)

like you're so #real for this anon. i honestly do hope we get more champions content in TOTK because nintendo completely missed on not expanding on a found family dynamic between link, zelda, and the champions. sure there's the champion's ballad DLC and age of calamity (i haven't played either of these. sorry. i will soon!), but that's not.. they're still dead in the DLC and AoC isn't considered canon i think it's more of an alternative timeline? so that doesn't really count.

me personally i think daruk and urbosa are very mother and father, and they probably were if riju and yunobo are their direct descendants (which is a whole other rabbit hole in itself; urbosa and daruk died most likely leaving little children and spouses behind ㅠㅠ). and maybe that is the point; daruk is the rock (because he's a goron lol) that keeps the family together and in the botw memories is seen to be taking initiative to lead and tell the other champions to get to their divine beasts when the calamity awakens. he’s steadfast and encouraging and jovial and that’s very father of him! as for urbosa, she straight up mothers zelda and link in-game, she's basically zelda's maternal figure after zelda's mom dies. she's not a stepmom, she's the mother that stepped up 💪❤️

mipha bears the Eldest Daughter Curse™ and revali is the moody teenager who’s Not going through a phase, it’s a LIFESTYLE MOM!!!1!1!1!1 and imo link and zelda kinda give goofy twin siblings (imagine like the pine twins) vibes to me

i like the headcanon that link had a younger sister pre-calamity, but i’d like to add my own twist to that. assuming that link used to live in hateno village, what if link's parents split after the birth of his younger sister, with his father taking link and moving closer to hyrule castle to fulfill his duty as a knight, and his mother not wanting to get involved with the war against the calamity and taking his sister to stay in hateno? link must have been really young at the time and barely remembers being able to play with his little sister :( so even if he had a sibling, he was basically raised alone for most of his life. and if his father was a knight of hyrule, i doubt that he could have been the most present father to link either... with zelda's mother dying when she was young and her father being a complete dick, that makes both link and zelda the "only child" kids that were raised in less than desirable familial conditions. and so, i think link and zelda would have their own difficulties integrating into this found family dynamic with the champions.

now i'm not an only child (i have demons for siblings tbh), but i think both link and zelda are very independent people who feel like they can only rely and trust themselves with the way they've been raised. it takes a lot for both of them to learn to be vulnerable and trust others, and they're very much not used to the mismatched deck of personalities they have to deal with within the champions, that being jolly father daruk, very cutthroat mother urbosa, sweet and soft-spoken mipha, and dickhead ass bitch bird revali. how can they navigate through these relationships with their lonely childhoods swept up in prophecies of old? it's much easier than you think and it has to do with anon's idea: strengthening rapport with each other by singing together atop a divine beast >:]

ok i'm joking, i think that's more the apex of the roadmap to becoming a found family, but it's a very cute idea 🥺 after link and zelda are finally cool with each other, there are so many opportunities for each of them to bond with the other champions individually. there's of course zelda falling asleep on mama urbosa in vah naboris, link and daruk have their father-son bonding time by daruk protecting link from getting smashed to a pulp by volcanic boulders, etc etc, but what about mipha taking zelda to all the monuments that detail zora history throughout the domain so that zelda can study them? what about revali teaching link how to use the paraglider so that he can actually hit targets at the flight range and get a chance to finally settle the score between him and link? i actually like that idea a lot, because then we could get an explanation as to why the paraglider even exists in the botw universe (revalink for the win ehehe). nintendo, my dear friend, there could be so much more to this world that you've introduced to us.

on one hand, of course botw is narratively focused on link and zelda and calamity ganon, and mechanically about the open-world map, shrines/divine beasts, etc, that break free from traditional zelda conventions. but it leaves the champions to only be side characters that, though they played critical roles in handling the divine beasts, are nothing more than ghostly figures with a handful of one-dimensional character traits that only create a further disconnect between the current world of hyrule vs. its pre-calamity past. which is why we get champion's ballad and age of calamity, which both somewhat expands on the champions as characters, but never more than giving them a few more traits and interactions that, to me personally, feel empty and inadequate. i want to have these intimate interactions with the champions as characters in the botw map, ones that i can walk up to chat with as though they were sidon or beedle or a random npc traveler. i want to feel close to the champions, and nintendo, though with weak attempts, doesn't give me that.

the picture that purah takes of the champions is so important to me. this right here is peak found family, a group of the most mismatched individuals that somehow meld perfectly together and balance each other out, and we only receive it through the DLC. that's so stupid. sorry nintendo, i want more than three minute long memories of a singular moment in a past life, i want more than npcs telling me who i used to be. i want king dorephan to tell us about the time zelda fell off of a waterfall and mipha immediately jumped after her to save her clumsy ass. i want to look through historical records of the gerudo and find one about urbosa launching daruk at the mouth of a molduking and daruk chewing her out for it later. i want elder kaneli gossip with me about an old rumor about how revali and the hylian champion of the past used to be found asleep together on the floor of the flight range's hut after a long night of training. i want the world of botw to give me signs and stories about how close the champions were with each other and to make my heart ache, to wish desperately to have known them, instead of like, 20 memories that only serve the plot, or honestly don't at all. but i digress!

i know for some people, the presence of the champions were meant to teach link about tragedy and loss and the effect of war and ruin and evil and cherishing your loved ones or whatever, but i simply did not get that message. that was not what i perceived the champions to be, because to me, the game lacked showing the relationships link and zelda had with the champions. like okay, you died and you also happened to know me. what if link doesn't really remember them at all? then what?

you receive twenty or so memories about the champions when including the DLC, and yes i do concede it gives us some more insight about their characters, but it doesn't do much more than that. the cutscene where mipha moves vah ruta to ready its lasers at the castle, where she wishes to see her father and sidon one more time, especially is an excellent example of emphasizing their significance to the people around them, to us as players and spectators to this hyrule... i want more of that.

i could be wrong about some of the stuff i've said, so disclaimer again that i haven't played the DLC or age of calamity, and maybe you do feel closer to the champions when you play those games! fanmade fic and art and headcanons have been really great ways of helping me view them in a multi-dimensional way, but going off the game's content itself, the champions feel like hollow spectres of people we never truly remember or get to know. maybe that's what they're supposed to feel like, but i don't want to feel that way about them. i'm too attached to them now, and i want to get to know them! curse you nintendo!!!

#loz #legend of zelda #botw #breath of the wild #loz botw #amihan's headcanons #amihan's botwverse #i might as well start making three hour long video essays like everyone else #i hope you guys are able to understand what i was trying to say in this post ???#throwback to that post that was like. the only way to make botw better is to make it a dating sim #because it's so fucking true #LET ME ROMANCE REVALI AS LINK!!!!!#LET ME HAVE A MOONLIT LAKESIDE WALK WITH REVALI AND GET TO KNOW HIM INTIMATELY!!!!!!#the more i think about it the more i think the games should have started 10000 years ago with the creation of the divine beasts #and the first hero and princess who fought against calamity ganon with these sheikah inventions #and then a sequel game to that would be the era of this link zelda and champions and botw #and THEN totk #idk... nintendo should put me on their storyboard team i think #sorry again that this is so long...

(For the OC/Creator ask. I tried to limit myself. Feel free to only answer some of these if I went overboard alskdjfal) 1 4 5 7 20 28 38? aaaand A?

oh golly okay these are gonna be for Festé. 1. probably 0 time, even when Festé is sitting, they want to be doing something productive with their hands- they're the type to go chop wood or some shit when they're bored/idle. very much a putterer

4. it's not easy to earn their trust, though they're not unkind about it. they try to keep people at arm's reach (gently) until they're sure about them

5. i would say fairly easy to earn their mistrust if you're any of these things: openly manipulative, dishonest without reason, hard to read, or just a straight up liar like, to give an example: they're totally okay with raphael because while he IS evil, he is not a liar. they're not okay with someone like mizora because of her purposeful avoidance of telling the entire truth, and her very public stunt with wyll in camp. they're okay with astarion because while he IS dishonest, it's not without reason- they can relate to wanting to hide certain aspects of one's past/trauma until the right person comes along to open up to. and star, for being a charlatan, isn't very hard for Festé to read. snorts oh, and they're not okay with the emperor, why would someone go to such great lengths to help a party of misfits and then be like "well if you don't do what i want, i'm gonna go join the elder brain >:c " fucking manipulative dick. eat me, emperor. Festé killed the shit out of him and enjoyed it.

7. dungeon diving! without going too much into their backstory (because it'll be detailed in upcoming chapters of bonding.), they used to be an up-and-coming (and quite talented) thief, not unlike nine-fingers keene in her early days with the Guild (obviously they had a career change since then) but! they love shiny treasure - especially weapons - and they hoard it like a dragon it's neither comfortable nor uncomfortable for them, it's just something they "Hm. I like this knife. :3 " also, pork roast. it reminds them of family dinners of yore. (they, surprisingly, had a pretty well-adjusted childhood, their parents passed away of old age in their late teens) 20. romantic: "I'd put my life in your hands, even if it's you holding the dagger to my throat." platonic: "I will listen to you until there's nothing left to say." familial: "Your home is always here, and you're welcome no matter how long it's been since you left."

28. absolutely not. they prefer the truth in every situation, even if it's messy, to their detriment, or puts their safety at risk. it doesn't matter how hard it is, how damaging, etc. always the truth.

38. their parents' funerals. they visit their graves as often as possible, usually with a home-cooked (or camp-cooked) meal and eat and drink. the moment in their life where they started running. i will not elaborate, you gotta read the backstory fic.

A. i love Festé because we're the most alike. hahahah that's pretty much it. what excites me most about them though, is they can look back on their life, even with all of the bad things that they've been through, and still laugh. sometimes that's their only coping mechanism, is to find the humour of the situation and try to focus on that. they also have this uncanny ability to soften and soothe the people that are closest to them. i love characters like that, ones who can look into the face of something monstrous and empathize.

#oc: festé #ask.com #i just want to clarify too: festé is TN/CN #and istg the stunt with mizora had them cocking a gun like “heeeeelll nawh”#the emperor though? fuckin- as a player i was so goddamned frustrated with that fight i was SO FUCKING MAD #i finally just sent festé in there with raphael's armour and they killed him in two turns with little more than their trusty swords #and if they could have teabagged his dead body they would have

Not sure if I'm going to ask my parents to pay for the expanded Netflix access. There's just not enough of it that I watch. In general, they pay for "four screens simultaneously" anyway, with two of them, which still feels like a dick move on behalf of the company. If pay for a "one screen" service, but they only do that in low resolution anyway.

I feel like this move is something that will (a) get Netflix some decent cash in the short run, and (b) errode even more of the trust capital they've been losing by repeatedly dropping shows without letting them finish. Already, I don't use the service very much, so it is fine for me to cancel. I suspect I won't really miss it much.

It's funny that they also just flat refuse to use the "one a week" model that every other platform uses, often to great success. When a new Netflix show drops, I get tumblr gifsets for like 2 or 3 weeks, then it vanishes. When a new season of whatever else comes around, I get the sets constantly.

What's this general freaking-out about some US laws talking about sending kids to be seen by a doctor to confirm their sex?

I've already read a lot of people saying that actually, things got taken out of context and is not going to be really like that anywhere (in the US at least, for what I read), but like, even if it was. Even if somebody decided to make a law saying "if we think you're trans we're going to send you to a doctor to confirm your sex before we let you participate in X sports competition", what's the big fucking deal about that?

Think for a bloody second. When we're born, doctors routinely see us naked. First, during labour, then our paediatritian at times. Like, in my childhood, one time my paediatritian even had to put a finger in my arse to examine me because I got quite sick, with my mother in front and her constant supervision. Grow a bit older and men get prostate exams, women get pap smears. I mean, doctors know how to give invasive examinations with sensibility, and it's always done with parents in front if you're a minor and, as an adult, I'm normally offered to bring another adult I trust or a different doctor / nurse if I'm uncomfortable, even to something as little as standing in my underwear so my doctor could check a rash last year. And if you ever go to hospital, you'll see that not only you might have a catheter put in to pee, but you might also have your arse literally wiped by a nurse, like, doctors and nurses will see all that comes out of you and where it comes out of and they've learned to deal with it professionally, you don't need to sexualise a bloody doctor's appointment. They're no big deals.

So if organisations start requiring to confirm a child's sex, is not a big deal. Firstly, this would never be done for children who haven't entered puberty, so nothing below the age of 12 or so, because, think with your head for one second, your body only changes and gives you some sex-based differences in sports after you hit puberty, because that's when men's musculature develops more and when the growth spurs occur, and also at the age in which sports competitions begin to get serious.

So checking a kid's sex would actually mean sending teenagers above the age of 11 or 12 to the doctor, accompanied by a parent or tutor, to confirm their birth sex is the one their birth certificate says it is. And at that age, the person wouldn't even need to do more than stand in underwear, that's enough for a well-trained doctor to know if you're developing breasts or hiding a dick. It's an age in which girls might even be going to the gynaecologist already and surely getting their period, so those doctor's appointment would be nothing for them, and there would always be a caretaker present, is not like you leave a child alone with a paedophile.

It doesn't even need to be that. A blood test will tell you someone's sex. A health record will. A chest exam. A look at their hips. A look at their fucking throats, where one either develops or doesn't develop a proper Adam's Apple, will. Stop acting like it's the end of the world.

survey #171

Do you always smile for pictures? I can't say ABSOLUTELY always, maybe I want a different mood for the picture, but in most cases, yes.

What is a big pet peeve you have? This is so random, but I tried to think of something I don't normally answer with, so people who take pictures with the animal they've killed. You see this especially a lot here in the South when it comes to deer hunters and it's like congratulations, you murdered an animal. I've made it clear I'm fine with hunting for food if you do it with a mindset of deep appreciation and honor, but I will NEVER support making hunting a loud, proud, happy thing. It's extremely solemn and should be treated as such, and that's absolutely NOT happening when you feel the need to take a fucking photo smiling next to a deer with its bloody tongue hanging out.

Is it okay for guys to wear pink? I'm honestly surprised I even still see this question in surveys, like honestly does ANYONE have a problem with a person that likely happens to have a dick wearing a specific color? Guys can wear whatever fucking color they want.

What do you dip your chicken nuggets in? I go back-and-forth between ketchup or honey mustard, depends on what I'm feeling.

Take any daily vitamins? I take Vitamin D once a week.

Have you been anyone’s bridesmaid/groomsmen? My sister's, yes. I was supposed to be one for my half-sister's wedding too, but we couldn't travel due to Mom's cancer; she was enduring chemo at the time.

Do you know anyone named Dennis? Yes, I had a great high school bud named Dennis.

If you had any advice to give the younger generation, what would it be? Being fucking loud in your pursuit of making the world better. Don't be shy about it, and take action whenever you have the chance.

What is something you have always been curious about? Dinosaurs. I'd say they were my first obsession, them or Pokemon, but pretty sure dinos.

What bands and artists did you listen to when you were a teenager? Basically what I do now, however I notably listened to more Korn, Metallica, and Manson, and even more Ozzy. My peak interest in classic rock and metal was while I was a teen. There are many others, those are just the really strong ones that stand out that I listened to A LOT.

Do your feelings get hurt easily? Yes, I know I am extremely sensitive, especially regarding particular subjects.

Do you have a friend who's always sending you TikTok videos? Do you actually watch them? No, I only ever occasionally get them from Girt, but not directly from TikTok, he most likely saw what he sent on Reddit.

Have you ever seen a cougar in the wild? No, pumas don't live in NC and haven't for centuries, apparently.

Will you attend a wedding in the next 3 months? No, I can't imagine that happening. I feel the next wedding I'll be at is either my own or Girt's sister's, which seems more likely to happen first.

What's your backyard or outdoor area like? Our backyard is super boring, it's just some grass, bushes, a single small crape myrtle tree, and a shed. It's very small, I basically never go out there.

Do you like your boss? (or your last boss if you don't currently have one) I didn't like my last one, the guy literally commented to another employee that the computer training work I did the last two days was a waste of time when he found out I'd had a breakdown and had to quit not even two hours into my first real shift. He didn't realize I was there; I obviously didn't say anything to him, but boy trust me I got plenty of crying in.

What's the hottest temperature your current town/city has ever had? Google says 106*F for my town. It's gotten slightly hotter out of the whole state, though.

Have you ever had a chia pet? Haha yeah, those were cute.

Do you know anyone who owns a pet chinchilla? Are they fun? I knew someone, but she didn't keep it a very long time. It was absolutely an impulse buy.

Do your parents trust you alone with members of the opposite sex? I'm an adult.

Have you ever cheated on a significant other before? Never.

Does your boyfriend or girlfriend have a pretty smile? His smile is SO fucking cute.

Do you get along with your significant other’s friends? The ones I've met, yes.

What’s the last TV show you watched, and do you relate to any of the characters? The Rain, and idk yet, we're still early into the series.

Favorite Taylor Swift song? I genuinely enjoy "Love Story."

Does everyone in your family have a job? Mom and I both don't. I'm actively looking for something, but my mom is on disability because of her cancer. She'd still work if she could, holy shit she hates not working and literally cleans the church she goes to for fucking free (in their defense, they used to pay her, but had to stop because of disability reasons), but there's just nothing she can physically manage and has the education + experience for.

Does your best friend have any phobias? I don't know about phobias, but I know he's sorta iffy about snakes (it's not a raging fear, he's just uneasy, I haven't gotten him to hold Venus yet lol) and he also doesn't like horror games or movies, he's jumpscare-prone. I thiiiink he doesn't like heights? I remember that's something I learned in our little couples fun book, but I can't completely recall what he said.

Do you prefer the taste of lemon or limes? Lemons.

Have you ever done any internship? No.

Do you have a digital camera? What kind is it? Yeah, I have a Canon EOS Rebel T6.

What is your favorite video game of all time? I generally answer this question with Silent Hill 2 and Shadow of the Colossus, but when it REALLY boils down to it, my favorite game I've ever played and the one that had the most profound impact on me is SH2.

Have you ever been in weather below 0 Fahrenheit (-17 Celcius)? No.

Do you use Instagram? If so, what's your current profile pic? Yeah, I have three different accounts for various purposes. My personal one though is me when my hair was red, it's one of my favorites.

What was the last thing you felt apprehensive about? Getting this last wisdom tooth out, I think I was actually more nervous than last time, despite it going just fine. I think because my last one was causing intense, legit pain and I just wanted that shit out so I was willing to do anything, but this last one wasn't causing me problems - yet.

Have you ever been caught outdoors away from shelter during a thunderstorm? Lol yeah, this happened at the Alice Cooper concert. At least it wasn't pouring buckets, it was mostly a lot of thunder and lightning. Also when coming out of the grocery store and to the car.

What's your favorite macaron flavor? Never tried them.

How many times have you stayed at a hotel in the past year, and where? None.

Are you the kind of person who can wake up with one alarm or do you need several? Generally one, but I don't use alarms a whole lot. I know in the past I've tended to set two if it's me waking up early.

What was the last physical pain you experienced? Getting numbing shots in my gums today.

When you exercise, do you do anything to entertain yourself like listen to music or watch TV? I listen to music when I use the bike.

Do you know anyone who is terminally ill? Yes.

Do you have nice views from your house? lol absolutely not

How often do you get paid? I don't.

Do you like bologna? Yeah; I don't have it much, but yes.

Do you have any upcoming plans with friends? Not at this very moment, but Girt's family and mine are likely gonna do something for the 4th of July.

Have you ever sung/spoken/performed in front of people on a stage? Yeah; in elementary school and for a while in the church I grew up in, I was in chorus/choir. I also had to read my D.A.R.E. report that won the writing contest in elementary to the entire 4th and 5th grade in the gym, and lastly, I took dance classes for many years and did numerous recitals and even one or two competitions.

What are the first three things you do when you wake up? Check the time, go to the bathroom, then take my thyroid med 30 minutes before eating + taking my other pills.

Can you remember the first time you ever talked to the person you love/like? Does he/she remember? I'm actually not 100% sure, but I FEEL like it was the time he invited me to sit with him and some other band buds during lunch; I was just sitting on my own, and thanks to him, for the rest of the year I ate lunch with them. I still appreciate the shit out of it. It's very possible we'd spoken some in band prior, but I feel like this event really started our friendship. I know he remembers this instance, but idk if he recalls it as our first real interaction either.

What was the last thing that one of your parents bought for you? A soda.

Is there a TV show or movie in which you’re incredibly emotionally attached to the characters? I think the only show or movie I've watched where I was "incredibly" attached to the characters was Meerkat Manor. Those little guys were basically family to little me.

Do you have any health problems that are unusual for your age? Yeah; my memory is absolutely horrific, and I also have tremors in my hands and feet. My legs are still very much weaker than a 27-year-old's should be, but at least this I'm recovering from. I don't know how truly uncommon this is nowadays, especially in America, but I'm pre-diabetic; very very barely, but still, it's a concern that is being watched closely. I've been told plenty of times by doctors that I'm too young to let diabetes happen to me, and I'm sure as hell not going to, especially when I'm genetically extremely susceptible to it.

Have you ever been hopelessly in love with a celebrity? lol no, the celeb "crushes" I've had are very invalid and not truly serious romantic interest, like I've known zero of these people personally and therefore I literally can't be "in love" with them. It's only ever a joke from me.

When was the last time you met someone who seemed very unpleasant? Today actually, the dental tech I saw today that helped with my wisdom tooth extraction was very dislikable, even my mom sent me a text about it (she was in the room with me) that she really didn't like her before I'd said a word about it. The dentist himself was great, but this lady was a bitch.

Are your eyes the same color as your siblings’ eyes? Only my brother's, but he has a different dad than me, and I have zero idea about the eye color patterns in Mark's family.

If you could house any pet, what would it be? I should preface with these are NOT regular, domesticated "pets" and only an absolute qualified professional should keep one (and never by ripping a healthy individual out of the wild), but an opossum. It's my dream to rescue and raise one one day, but I'd need training.

How often do you like to have sex? I don't have a set goal list for this lmao, sexual stuff happens when it happens. Thinking about it though, "things" probably happen at least once a week, sometimes more and sometimes less.

Do you exercise? Yes, I still do physical therapy exercises but now I prioritize the exercise bike following my visit with my nutritionist. I need more cardio and exercises in endurance.

What’s your favorite album from your favorite music artist? Ozzy's is Black Rain and Rammstein's is Zeit.

What is your Facebook cover picture? It's a gorgeous photograph of an adult meerkat and pup touching noses, I just edited the colors and lighting a bit.

When was the last time you weighed yourself? Yesterday, at the nutritionist. I lost a bit of weight since I last saw her! I know so because the number I saw was on the higher end of my daily usual fluctuations, yet it was still smaller than what it was previously. Yeah, all scales are different, but.

Would you convert to a different religion if your fiancé/fiancée was of a different faith? Nope, adios if you're gonna try pushing that shit on me.

What is the funniest one-liner Tumblr text post you’ve ever read? oh my god I couldn't tell you, I see so much gloriously unhinged shit lmao

What pharmacy do you use? Walgreen's.

What is your favorite Elvis song? "Devil In Disguise" is so great.

If you ever took dance classes, what were your favorite classes? Jazz. I like modern the most visually, but I was much better at jazz. There's a certain amount of grace and often flexibility you need in modern dances that I ain't got lol

Have you ever been a bad friend? I definitely have, more than once. I'll believe nobody who answers this with "no," we're all imperfect humans that don't always make the best choices.

What would you say are your top five bands/artists? Oh, that's so hard. I'll try though: Ozzy Osbourne, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson, Otep, anddddd... Motionless In White, or Korn.

Do you listen to a wide variety of music? Not really tbh, the very vast majority of things I enjoy have hard roots, like metal, rock, alternative, indie, etc. However there definitely are artists whose names you'd see on my music player and be surprised by, like Melanie Martinez, Jeffree Star, and Marina. I'm more open to other music than I was as an older teen, but I like it to be very charismatic, different.

Is your Facebook profile private? Yes.

[TW: DOMESTIC ABUSE] Do you have abusive family members? In my extended family, yes.

I don't like to post other people's lives, but there might have been a divorce I lived through precipitated by this song, when my good and sensible parent couldn't take life anymore with the one spoiled by farm money.

So I always think of it fondly because of that. I'm free (in my head is the key place) in ways so many Millenbot are not because parents splitting up from each other does something to you. It happened before I even hit puberty -- so you realise your life is over and it's a disaster so you're more free to rollerblade and dye your hair green now or whatever, all the things I did. I don't give a fuck about the children of married parents who live off the tit or who's parents picked their careers who think they've ever learned self-reliance. No you haven't, you haven't even gotten out of the nest.

I hope your relationships with your dads are good. But don't ever preach to me about fighting harder against the straight world's bullshit or whatever think you're trying to lord over me in your powerhunger -- don't ever do that if your relationship with your dad isn't him treating you like Injun Joe, a threat to society like my dad smells all over me. I'm nothing but negative in his book cuz I won't obey.

Well too fucking bad! You know what I expect of selfish asshole patriarch types? A fucking apology! Sincere fucking awareness of how they treat me, I can't just lick the foot that kicks. They're not man enough to do it, so fuck em. I will just enable repeat abuse if I somehow act like I was the bad guy. I know because I've tried this, I at least try to be humble guy who apologises to assholes sometimes even when they did all the wrong -- just to set a good example and see what happens. In my experience, they just stay assholes cuz they learned nothing and feel nothing except a child's 'gimme more'. And I will not put up with Baby's wackland society and establishment systemic Millenbot ways when anything I do is like SQUEEEE!! THATS FUCKED UP THAT IS NOT HOW WE NORMIES SEE IT! if I so much as mildly challenge their inconsistencies and hypocrisies with something that could actually benefit their lives by pulling them out of their self-pity power pile play.

And I always see these kids of married parents with their bourgeois glue bonding too much with the patriarchal side because Trump's in vogue and the male as 'victim' is in vogue. Fuck them! They don't know shit. America is stupid because it is high on the whiff of big dick energy or whatever abusive thing.

I keep saying that you can't mentally free people who have had overly fortunate nuclear family lives who want to just think they know a thing or two about how abuse and control gets results -- it's so gross and the thought of being around people like that or kissing them is a huge shudder from me. All you can do is move on for people who don't deem you worth of not abusing and controlling themselves around. Be grateful you're not them and their mefirstism and lack of concern for your simple desire to be their trusted friend and ally. Be grateful you don't have their limited talents and very limited appreciation of life's wonders. Just look for loving kind people who want others to thrive! Trump's kick in the ass and scream in the face will never generate anything but the dronelike mindless dipshit 'productivity' America is already known for engaging in, which is why grown adults globally so very often cannot take Americans seriously at all. Cuz Americans are abusive and stupid and fine with it or full of excuses for it.

CQL Rewatch - Ep 22

It feels so good to see these two together, talking about old times, and most importantly, not arguing. It's as if this was the conversation that was meant to happen back in Yiling, but it didn't because emotions were too high. I guess it's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Wei Wuxian has time to think about and come to the understanding that Lan Wangji isn't fighting him, but instead showing concern. And Lan Wangji gets to hear Wei Wuxian's side of the story, about what he did those three months in the Burial Grounds. It's so refreshing to have this release after so much tension had built up, where the two of them are just open and honest with each other. And you can see how Wei Wuxian's relationship with Lan Wangji is different from his relationship to everyone else. While we get to see him being vulnerable with Jiang Yanli, he won't tell her everything; we see him connecting with Jiang Cheng again, but as is his temperament, Jiang Cheng is often flippant and dismissive, and only really cares that Wei Wuxian is back within the Jiang Clan fold. Lan Wangji really cannot be satisfied until he knows what's been going on; he wants to be reassured that Wei Wuxian is okay in both mind and body, he wants to know that he's not gone to the dark side per se.

And this moment is so pivotal here. Now that they've finally talked and gotten everything out that they've both been ruminating on over the past however long (idk timelines lol), Wei Wuxian is in a place where he can say he'll accept Lan Wangji's help. Wei Wuxian doesn't agree to it begrudgingly, but I think it's a hopeless agreement. Unless you know about his lack of a Golden Core, his response seems odd--maybe you think he's tired, maybe you think he's just doing it to appease Lan Wangji, but is being dishonest. With the knowledge of the transfer, you can see that he is agreeing to appease Lan Wangji, but not in a lazy or dishonest way: he knows that he can never learn the sword again, but he allows Lan Wangji to at least help him with his temperament. I don't think it's him agreeing to get Lan Wangji off his back, I think instead he's letting Lan Wangji know how important he is to Wei Wuxian--he's special.

After Wei Wuxian agrees to letting Lan Wangji help, he walks away smiling. He doesn't let Lan Wangji see it either. I feel that he's indescribably happy that with so many changes in his life, he has his relationship with Lan Wangji back--he has his best friend, he has someone who he can trust. And remember, he's not concerned about his temperament being overwhelmed--Wei Wuxian has always considered himself a prodigy, so while this is challenging, he believes that what he learned from the Gusu Lan Clan is enough. Lan Wangji, on the other hand, is still very concerned, and he devotes all of his free time to figuring out ways to help Wei Wuxian, to steady his mind and temperament.

So, while I'm watching this filler, I'm imagining a terrible scenario they could have done. When you're adapting a book or a play or really anything, it's not uncommon to add scenes, right? CQL has plenty of added scenes for context and padding, plus shit they just made up. Okay, so this would fall into the latter category. Imagine if they had had Lan Wangji get turned into a puppet/Urukai, and then there's some big, dramatic way that Wei Wuxian has to save him and turn him back, and it only brings them closer together as brothers in arms/whatever bs they were trying to sell us without making it romantic. Sounds like a terrible idea, right? Aren't you glad the writers had enough integrity and respect for the novel that they didn't do that? I complain about things that were added or changed as well, but if they had given me an actual explicit acknowledgment of wangxian love, I would have been happy. Of course, censorship is a bitch, so that's a no go. The point of this is that it could have been a lot worse.

Oh, god. Soup drama. Thank you to that person who posted the soup drama in Lan Wangji's POV. You are amazing, and that post always makes me cackle.

Ah, but this is canon to the novel if I remember correctly. It's totally valid and is actually kind of sad for Yanli, but I still think it's hilarious the way Wei Wuxian just takes off like a shot without knowing what's going on. The thing is, Jiang Yanli is just embarrassed about the whole thing and wants to leave, but of course Wei Wuxian wants revenge. He still harbors no love for Jin Zixuan, and any chance he gets to put the peacock in his place, he'll take.

Yanli is tugging on him with both hands, and Wei Wuxian doesn't move. He is just standing there, glaring at Jin Zixuan. There are two people in the world who Wei Wuxian will defend forever: Jiang Yanli and Lan Wangji--and Jin Zixuan has just offended one of them. Wei Wuxian is beyond pissed. And now couple that with how he was trapped in a sunless graveyard for three months, has been doing nothing but fighting since he's been out, and is using his spiritual power in a dangerous and unstable method. His mood, my friends, is not great right now.

I love how Lan Wangji looks inside the tent, and then proceeds to immediately nope out of there. I blame that soup drama post for everything that I see now, because it really does look like he's just thinking, "Ugh, soup drama again." But in all seriousness, I think this is just Lan Wangji feeling awkward again. I think he came out of genuine concern for Jiang Yanli, because remember Wei Wuxian took off without even hearing what was going on, but when he sees that it's clearly a matter between her and Jin Zixuan, he leaves. This isn't his business, and it also involves romance, because of course he remembers how they were betrothed until the fight broke out in Cloud Recesses. Regardless of how Lan Wangji carries himself and how he's so respected as a cultivator, he's still a young man, who still feels awkward about the idea of love and doesn't really want to be around any of it--lovers' quarrels and whatnot.

The other thing is, they don't pan over to Lan Wangji for no reason. Perhaps he's still remembering the conversation he had with Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng back in Yiling: this is a Jiang Clan affair. And this time, he's choosing to bow out when he realizes it isn't his business. However, he doesn't want to go far, because he knows how dangerous Wei Wuxian really is, especially if he loses his cool.

Honestly, Jin Zixuan is such a dick here. Every time I think he's made progress, he takes a step backward. Jiang Yanli is the sweetest person, and is just giving him soup every day to provide him with some comfort. We're to understand that she is a good cook and her soup is The Best, so she wants to do something nice for him, perhaps bring him the comfort of home in the place that is farthest from home, and he practically throws it back in her face. It's a total misunderstanding, but my heart breaks for her. And after this moment, Jin Zixuan starts to try harder. I think he finally sees who she is, what kind of person she is, and understands how genuine and loving she has always been. He finally opens his eyes and gets to know her as a person, not as the girl he's engaged to, not as the girl he was engaged to, not as the girl his parents want him to marry--but as the girl who he's interested in.

Not a lot to talk about this episode. I swear, half of it is just fighting. But let's take a moment to appreciate Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji fighting together. I am a sucker for this sort of thing, so I love seeing Lan Wangji swoop in and knock a baddie's sword out of the way to protect Wei Wuxian. It feels good seeing that and seeing them on the same side, fighting together.

Wei Wuxian tried it their way. He tried to fight without using Chenqing, but the fight was impossible. As stated before, the puppets are unkillable, so there was no way to win just by fighting them, and obviously what Nie Mingjue was doing wasn't helping. The only way to survive at this point was to try and control the puppets into working against Wen Ruohan. There's a shot of Lan Wangji before this, where he looks concerned, but I think he even knows that they had no other choice.

This was a short one, sorry! But really, I'm not going to babble about nothing. So much fighting and not a lot of dialogue or other things really happened. We're just getting through major plot points right now to be honest.

Other episodes: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | Or just check out the #CQL Rewatch hashtag

Loved the oneshot but there are of course some things still in the open for me like the friendship dynamic within Landos group (did they realise that sth was going on, how are the relations between them etc.) and also how Jon fits into this verse?

Asking all the right questions! There was a good bit I had to cut for sizing but hinted at so lets tackle these:

Did they realises something was wrong?

The way I set the start, with Lando acknowledging his friends see him as naïve and the child of the group, plays into them not seeing something was wrong. Him questioning the situation with George and the girl he was seeing was seen as Lando just being inexperienced due to his awkwardness. His normal awkward and anxious self also played into them not noticing Lando was struggling, how can they tell when they mainly (during the season) see him at races and rarely outside? They mistake any nervous ticks or stress as race related.

Lando also got very good at hiding things from everyone for Michael. He could never tell them if he was happy, or about dates, or the fight because he respected Michael's ask for privacy even though it was killing him. And that's one of the reason the gang are so pissed at Michael, not only did he hurt Lando, but it resulted in Lando hiding everything so well even his closest friends didn't notice he was struggling with something bigger than racing or usual anxieties.

I think when I wrote the bit of Charles asking Lando to come with him during the opening scene, that was Charles thinking something was off but Lando brushing him off made him drop it. Hence why he catches on so quickly in the hospital; he had an inkling something was off, but again trusted that Lando would come to him or the others.

Relationships between them

Very much like real life relationships between them

They all raced together and came up together

The original trio were George, Alex and Lando, but Lando brought Charles into the fold

George and Alex were always a little closer than Lando was to them, so Charles was his person so to speak in the group

Max was a late addition

He was Lando's friend and the others tolerated him when Lando would drag him into games or meet ups

Eventually they warmed to Max, and the rivalry between Max and Charles continued but morphed into flirting that had the others throwing pillow at them to 'get it together already', and 'stop eye fucking on my couch you dicks'

They're all close, some closer then others, but are protective of their friends because they've been through everything together since they were children in karts

Where does Jon fit?

Normally I love having Jon in fics, and give him a clear role. I didn't really in this one. Jon was just the one that made sense to find Lando in that situation being that he is Lando's trainer and would deal with things like bruising after a race, but he's also very close to Lando. He's like a kid brother to him, hence him being the one in the room with Lando until his parents arrive cause there was no way he'd leave Lando's side.

A LunaTic and her Gunn (Part 98) "Ring Around The Ruby"

@creatureofthen1ght-v3 @crystalbaby12 @mgkobsessed @backoftheroomandnotbelonging @5sosfam1dlover @lovemythsworld ...still trying Bra 🖤

Are we sure we have everything??" Luna asks as she plays with her padlock, she finds herself doing that whenever she's nervous.

After breakfast with Casie. A morning ShowerFuck, lines and a burn session with Colson in the bathroom. Luna's dressed in a simple, white, silk dress. Black chucks and light makeup. Shockingly, she throws on no jewelery except her ring, which never comes off. Her long hair flowing around her. Looking around their hotel suite, Luna has a hard enough time keeping track of herself, let alone two other people's stuff.

"You double checked that you've got your necklace, Diablo shirt and sunglasses?" She asks Casie.

"Yup." She nods proudly at Luna.

"What Diablo shirt?" Colson whips around.

"Your purple one....." Luna answers.

"Why didn't you give her yours? It's smaller." He challenges her.

"Because I've already altered mine... To fit me." She answers with her eyebrows raised.

Fully aware of what she's hinting at, Colson's dick twitches. The memory of their first performance and Luna's homemade Diablo shirt floating around in his brain.

Colson sighs out a Fine with a smile at Casie. She can have anything she wants. Of his or The World's. Not even caring as long as His Peanut is happy. Unknown to him, Luna had already grabbed a replacement. The Three of Them taking care of each other in ways they don't even realize. --------------------------------------------------

Outside The Jacquard, Colson's Eleven are the same Assholes they always are. Each loudly squeezing Casie tight with huge kisses on the cheek. Slim spinning her in circles until they're both dizzy and laughing.

"Uncle Slim!!!" She giggles as she sees triples.

Finding her balance, Casie spots Sam. Through the week they had become great friends.

"It was really rad to meet you." Sam says as she squats down to do her secret handshake with Casie.

"Will you be at EstFEST for our wedding? She asks.

"I'll be at both. I wouldn't miss them for a thousand crabby patties." Her response making Casie laugh as she jumps into Sam, knocking her down.

Caught off guard, Sam laughs loudly with her as she falls back onto the pavement. Shockingly pleased by The Cool Ass Kid's grip.

Baze and Luna both watching them. Luna's soul flittering at this new side of Sammy. Baze almost sure he's in love with the Wild Drummer.

Hugging her bestfriend, Luna teases her lightly in her ear. "Fuck you." Sam laughs.

Gripping each other tight, they agree to see each other in Seattle. Behave... Luna smirks to another one of Sam's Fuck Yous.

As Luna and Ashleigh hug GoodBye, she Thanks Luna again. To her solid squeeze and Stop. Both knowing their friendship is genuine. Flowing beyond their relationships with Colson.

"Alright... Alright... She's only gonna be gonna for two days!" Colson laughs at the two of them.

"Two days too long!!" Ashleigh complains, loving another woman on The Bus with her.

Ashleigh and Sam get along very well but Luna helps Ashleigh run shit. With Luna by Colson's side, this has been Ashleigh's least stressful tour. In almost 10yrs.

With the uber arriving to carry The Three of Them to the airport, The Boys hug and kiss Luna and Casie a dozen more times. Laughing at Colson and giving him daps when he complains about Where's His Love.

"We'll see you tonight, Bitch." Rook laughs at him as he squeezes Luna. "Good luck, Bro.... Not that your badass needs it." He grins after pecking her cheek as they squeeze GoodBye.

Rook is Luna's favorite Drummer Boy. Luna is Rook's favorite Bitch. She rocks with all The Boys but those two are true Roll Dawgs. Both appreciating each other since their first conversation the night of Colson's Birthday Dinner at Tao.

"WE LOOOVE YOUSSSS!!!" Luna hollers out the car window as she heads off with Casie and Colson.

Preparing for the 13hr ride in front of them to Boise, The Remaining Eight fuck around a bit longer. Climbing on, The Bus feels a little off without Their Core. This does not stop the smoke, music and drinks from flowing though. It just makes it feel.... Different.

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

Sat in first class between Luna and Colson, Casie is talking a mile a minute. Both Luna and Colson requesting a Bloody Mary immediately. Grinning at each other over her talking head.

It's a 3hr flight. Having them hit Cleveland before 4P. Pulling out her carry on, Luna shares her art supplies with Casie.

Colson sips his drink as His Girls draw. Casie excitedly talking about Their Weddings.

"You know what we've still gotta do?" Luna asks the rambling child.

"What?" She asks as she lifts her face from her artwork

"Get you fitted you for your dresses." Luna shines into her sketch book.

"Dresses!!! Like TWO!!" Casie yells with wide excited eyes.

"Yeah, Dill. Two weddings. Two dresses, SugarPop." Luna laughs at her, looking up from the drawing she's working on.

"Jesus fucking Christ, I fucking love her." Colson thinks as uncharacteristic tears well in his eyes.

"AHHHH!!!" Casie shouts in excitement to both of their grins.

Colson reaches over, turning Luna's chin to sink a grateful kiss onto her lips as Casie's mid squeeze. The girl not minding being crushed in between the love of the two of them.

Just as they're about to land, Luna hands Colson her sketch. It's a crude drawing of the two of them embracing.

"Fuck. I love it." His heart beats faster as he studies it. "Tuck it in your book until we get home?" He asks to her smiling nod.

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

"Oooh!!!! My BAAAABY!!!" Emma exclaims as Casie runs into her open arms.

"I missed you so much, Mommy!!" Casie says as she falls into her tight grasp.

Colson and Luna watching the two. Their love for each other overflowing all over their front yard as they roll around in hugs and laughter.

"She's such a good mom." Luna whispers to Colson in admiration of Emma.

"She really is." Colson says proudly as he throws his arm around Luna.

Smooching her cheek, he grabs Casie's bags. Carrying them inside. There are many things that can be said about Colson Baker. Attentive to His, should truly be the first description.

Inside Casie erupts into the details of her week long adventure. Performing OnStage, swimming, jumping and diving last night, sitting with Patti during the taping of Ellen, The Planetarium and The Butterfly Exhibit. Forgetting about the Splash Park as she happily yells about how the butterflies flew all around them, kissing her and Luna's skin. All the while, simultaneously showing Emma her new treasures.

"We went EVERYWHERE, MOMMY!!!" We even bought a house in NY. MOM!! I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY NOW!!!" She shouts while bouncing around the kitchen.

Those words cause Emma to shoot a quick Look between Colson and Luna. Wondering WHAT THE FUCK HER CHILD IS TALKING ABOUT.

"We're about to make settlement on a brownstone so we have a place in The City. Kinda like here and LA." Luna speaks up to reassure her.

Emma giving Luna an accepting and understanding nod. She turns back to the chattering little girl.

"So, you had fun?" She asks her daughter.

"SO MUCH FUN, MOM!!" Casie screams to Emma's laughter.

Colson and Emma touch base as Luna helps Casie with her luggage. Alone in the kitchen, Emma speaks freely.

"Don't fuck this up, Kells. She's good for you and Case already loves her. I know you're getting married next month, but, PLEASE. Don't fuck this up. For you or her." Emma pleads with the man she's known almost longer than half of her life.

"I don't want to, Em...." Colson replies with concerned eyes. "But, I'm so fucking afraid I will."

Emma reaches to hug him. "Keep that fear and you won't." She tells him honestly as they embrace tightly.

There's something to be said about co-parents who are friends that genuinely care for each other. It's a beautiful thing. Truly.

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

Outside, before Luna and Colson catch their uber to his house, The Family embraces each other GoodBye individually. There's a comforting warmth that flows through them.

As Colson and Casie say their GoodByes, Luna and Emma hug each other tightly. Probably tighter than they've ever held each other before. Emma whispering a Thank You for Taking Care of My Baby Girl. Luna squeezing her a smidge tighter to Thank Emma for Trusting Her With Casie. Breaking apart, the women look each other in the eyes. Both happy to have each other in their lives.

"I loooooove YOOOOU!!!" Luna swings a laughing Casie around. "See you soon?"

"Yup." Casie grins.

"Find a new home for your necklace for bed and shower time?" Luna asks with a tinge of authority.

"YES." Casie asserts, grin wider.

"Good shit. Love you, Dill." Luna holds Her Girl close and tight.

Emma appreciating the way they interact with each other as she watches them. Knowing Casie is safe with Luna.

"Ready, Kitten?" Colson asks as he kisses the top of Luna's head.

Before leaving, he grabs Casie again loving on her like there's no tomorrow. Giggling as his kisses tickle her skin.

After setting Casie down and saying their final GoodByes, he grabs Luna's hand. Leading her to the waiting uber. While in Cleveland, Colson has a specific mission.

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

On The Bus, somewhere between Colorado and Idaho, Sam has convinced Ashleigh to get fucked up with her and The Boys.

Cards are being thrown with jokes as music flows. Smoke billowing throughout The Bus.

Leaning into Baze, Sam seductively asks "How pissed you think they'd be if we stole their bed tonight?" Wicked grin spreading across her pretty face.

"Wanna find out?" He grins back to her tantalizing giggle.

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

Inside The Cleveland House, Colson heads straight upstairs. Luna outside to smoke a cigarette. She doesn't like smoking around Casie so it's been HOURS.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Opening the door to his safe, Colson pulls out a tiny box. Opening it, the huge ruby gleams at him. Solidifying that he knows he made the right decision.

Having been almost a month since he last gazed at it, he can't help but be proud of himself. And Rook. "It's perfect. Beautiful and unique. Just like her.... She's gonna love it." He thinks excitedly.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Luna's chain smoking on the picnic table out back. Letting the warm summer sun kiss her colorful skin.

"Come're...." Colson tries to coax her.

"Whhhhyyyy.....?" Luna whines as she scrunches her face, wanting to light another cigarette.

"Just shut the fuck up and come here." Colson tells her.

"Fine." Luna pouts as she takes his hand.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Walking into the kitchen, Colson hits play on a remote. Taking Luna in his arms as Clapton begins to float around them.

youtube

He sings to her the same way he did the night they first met. Holding her close and changing whichever lyrics he chooses. Luna's so dumb she doesn't know what's happening. She just thinks Colson's sweet as she rests inside of him.

As the ending guitar chords float away, Colson drops to his knee. Having the song on repeat, he takes Luna's hand as it continues to drift around them.

"What the fuck are you doing?" She asks, slightly bewildered.

"Doing this shit right." He asserts.

Looking up at her, Colson sees his entire future in Luna's eyes. Taking a deep breath, he has nothing prepared as usual. Their whole relationship is based off of instinct.

"I know you love the ring I made for you but I bought you a real one way before it. If you don't like it, we'll fix it or...." He says as he holds her left hand, slipping the metal string off her finger and setting it on the kitchen island. "You can keep the one you have.... Just as long as you promise to still marry me." He says as he pops the lid.

It's a gorgeous 10 carat oval ruby. Surrounded by small diamonds. Taking Luna's breath away on sight.

"I know you don't do diamonds, so, it's your birthstone with mine wrapped around it to protect you.... Not that you need protec...."

Colson can't even finish his sentence before Luna's on her knees in front of him. Tears falling down her cheeks as her kisses shut him up.

Her bare hands run up the sides of his face as she sinks her deep kisses into his mouth. Pushing him off his knees to straddle him. Their kisses are passionate and heavy as Colson tangles his fingers in her hair. Pulling out of her kiss, he gently holds her face in his large hands.

"Is that a Yes?" He asks.

"That's a FUCK YES." She laughs as she pushes her mouth back onto his.

Unable to contain themselves, Luna unbuckles Colson's belt. Lifting up, he helps her pull them down. Only bothering to pull her panties to the side, Luna guides him inside of her. Both groaning in pleasure.

Kissing each other sloppily as Luna slides up and down on Colson's cock he needs her body. Pulling her dress over her head, he's beyond pleased to find her braless as he suckles her pierced breasts. Naked, she bucks against him. Wanting her more than ever before, he carefully flips her on her back.

Throwing her legs over his shoulders, Colson pushes deep inside of Luna. Making her moan in pleasure as he fucks her on the kitchen floor. Mouth kissing hers as if they'll both die without the other. Moving to her cheeks, he kisses anywhere he can reach. Both whispering Sweet Nothing's instead of their normal Dirty Words.

Feeling her thighs grip his waist and walls clench his cock, he nuzzles into her neck and ear. Claiming I FUCKING LOVE YOU as they cum for each other.

Satisfied, Colson rests on top of her. He's by no means fat but Luna's tiny and with her gunshot wound he feels like he has to be extra careful with her. Kissing her forehead, he rolls out of her. Reaching blindly on the ground around them, he finds the box.

Sliding his arm under her head, he presents the symbol of their commitment. Asking Yes? With love pouring out of her eyeballs and heart, she gives him a teasing smile.

"I mean I guess I could say Yes for the 110th time." She laughs as she rolls towards him, locking her lips onto his.

Their kisses say EVERYTHING. Things that even couples who've been married for 50yrs still can't say.

Holding her hand out, Colson slips his ring upon her finger. Holding her hand out in front of them, they clutch each other while they both try to hold back tears.

"It's fucking beautiful." She happily sighs.

"I told you not to doubt me." He lightly chuckles as he pulls her tighter.

Teasing her about how he knows what she likes. Laughing out a Fuck You, she climbs back on top of him.

Taking her time as she slowly rides him. Enjoying every inch of his dick along with every touch from his hands and mouth.

Luna and Colson don't make love. They fuck like animals but on the kitchen floor with his ring on her finger their touches are softer. Kinder. Gentle as they enjoy every inch of each other in the afternoon sunlight.

It's a long, hard cum. Both feeling like they may seize out from the pleasure. Completely entwined in each other, they take a light, naked, engaged, snooze on the kitchen floor. The excitement of a life together dancing in both of their heads.

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

Colson stirs first. The hard floor waking him up against Luna's warm body. Brushing her hair from her face, he looks down. The huge ruby glistening on her finger catches his eye as her hand rests on his chest.

"Fuck.... How'd I get so fucking lucky?" He questions himself. "Em's right.... I can't fuck this up." His heart begins to panic.

Feeling his chest pounding under her hand, it's as if her sixth sense kicks in. Opening her eyes, she asks if He's Okay.

"As long as I'm with you." He answers, kissing her sweetly on her forehead.

"Mmmm..." She nuzzles into him contently. "What time is it?" She asks.

"I don't know, but we should move. We gotta be outta here by 9P...." He answers.

Luna pouts as she nuzzles into his chest. Asking if They Can Quit Their Jobs And Be Pirates. Please. Colson lightly laughs at her fantastic request. Asserting that Being Pirates Would Be Awesome Buuut He Doesn't Think It's That Easy. Leaving Luna to sigh in disappointment.

"Come on...." He begins to shift off the floor.

"Noooo.... I don't wanna...." She whines as he moves to pull her up to stand with him.

"I know... Me neither. 10 days though." He reminds her with a twinkle in his eyes.

This makes her move. Slapping his ass, she shouts Race You as she bounds up the stairs to the shower.

"Grab my real ring, please?" She hollers down the stairs.

Unable to stop the smile that is hurting his face he hits his IG before following her upstairs.

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

"110xs I've asked her and she keeps saying Yes. I'm lucky AF and she's crazy insane. Imma 🔐 that sweet ass down quick. Bet. Saturday at #EstFest One of the most IMPORTANT days of my life. BE THERE. CUZ SHITS GONNA BE 🔥🔥🔥 #badthings WILL happen bc I LOVE A FUCKING LUNATIC 😈❤🐈 💯"

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

Luna's upstairs waiting for him. Naked. Joint in mouth. Lines cut out. Drink in hand. Hot shower running for them.

Tossing her arms around him, he lifts her up. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she holds the joint as he hits it and carries her into the bathroom.

The way they easily move with each other makes their synchronicity enviable. Puffing on the joint, Luna drops it in an ashtray on the sink before he takes both of them into the shower.

Slowly and softly fucking each other. For a moment, before their hunger and animal instincts take over.

"Bend me over..." Luna huskily begs in Colson's ear.

Happily indulging her, he pulls her hair and fucks her the way they both like. Gripping her hips as he pushes himself deep inside of her. Leaving Luna to shake in pleasure as she feels his cum fill her insides.

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

Out of the shower they blow the lines waiting for them. Lighting a joint as they get dressed. Kissing and playfully teasing each other as they burn along the way.

"Where's my other ring?" Luna asks.

"Right there..." Colson points to the dresser.

Luna grabs it, slipping it onto her right hand. Wiggling her fingers she admires both.

"You're gonna wear that one too?" He asks.

"Uhmmmm. Fuck yeeeaahhh." Luna looks at him weirdly. "It's my original."

Thinking she would toss it, Colson adores her logic. Along with her Love of Them

Throwing on black skinnies and a cutoff hoodie, Luna laughs as Colson pulls his black Chucks on too.

"Come're Kitty....." He swings her around on the bed to tie her shoe.

"I fucking LOVE yooou." She states as she watches him with adoration.

"Love-LOVE YOU." He grins, kissing her newly blinging finger as he pulls her up.

Colson orders an uber as Luna collects their things. Pulling off the black hoodie he had put on, Colson looks for the particular one he wants. They're both headed out. On separate flights. Him to Boise to meet up The Boys for another show. Her to Mexico City for a performance with Ashley.

Getting the alert that their ride is there, Luna grabs Colson. Gripping him tightly around his waist as she burrows into his naked chest. Inhaling his sweet smell. It's a mix of weed, his cologne Jean Paul and Luna.

"I love you." She states as she looks up into his brilliant blue eyes.

"Forever?" He asks.

"Beyond." She answers as she pulls him down for a kiss before letting him go.

Finding the grey hoodie he wants, Colson grabs Luna's ass cheek. Also kissing her face cheek as he asks If She's Ready.

With her nod, he shouts "We Out!!!"

Her laughter tickles his soul as they head back on The Road. Holding hands along the way

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

Luna flies out at 10P. Colson 11P. Walking her to her gate, they hold each other for as long as they can.

Calling for boarding, Colson grabs Luna. Lifting her high for her to wrap her entire being around him. The way they both like.

"Two days." They reassure each other with laughter at their jinx.

Pulling back, Luna tells him She Loves Him before kissing him solidly.

"I love you. Go kill Mexico City and come back to me." He tells her, causing a rise of small tears in her eyes. "Heeey... Two days, Bunny Love." He tries to reassure her again.

"I know...." She lightly whimpers. "I just hate to leave you...." She sighs as a solid tear drops.

It breaks Colson's heart as he wipes it off her cheek with his thumb. He hates when they're apart.

"Then... Seven days. Me and you. Married. With nothing else.." He grins as he reminds her of their short and long term goals.

Squeezing him tighter with her thighs and arms, Luna kisses him with everything inside of her. Pulling back, she looks him in the eyes before softly pecking his lips.

"Seven days." She asserts with a woeful sigh.

"Go." He tells her with a kiss on the lips and solid slap on the ass.

Luna can't help but break out into a grin over and for him. Kissing him quickly, she grabs her carry on before heading down the terminal.

"Seven DAYS!!!" She shouts as she looks over her shoulder. "I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!" Her voice lingers in his ear as she disappears.

Heart throbbing for Luna immediately, Colson halls ass through Cleveland's airport. Barely making his own 7hr flight. Missing it would've been worth it to him just to see her off.

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

Settled, Luna touches her new ring. It's so big and different from her original. Looking at both, her eyes well up at Colson's words. Looking down at the new one, she sees him wrapped all around her. Missing him instantly.

"Seven days......" She sighs to herself. Already missing her puzzle piece. Popping two bars to sleep through her own 7hr flight.

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

To be continued.....

Was that a lie?

Request: Yes or No

Riley got out of the car, smiling widely as his father walked over to greet him. They shared a big tight hug.

"How have you been? I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your breakup with Elena." His father patted his shoulder. Riley smiled, shaking his head.

"It's fine... I've been fine. Elena and I had been planning to breakup for a while anyways." A big fat lie but it'd keep his father satisfied.

"Is this the famous Riley?" A woman, Anabel, asked, stepping out of the large house. Riley smiled, accepting her hug.

"Oh, you're cuter in person!" She gushed. Riley chuckled, already feeling a warm fuzzy feeling. He missed having a mother figure around.

"Come, come! You have to meet Marshall." Anabel ushered. Riley got his things, bringing them inside.

"Marsh! Baby, come downstairs!" Anabel called. Riley glanced around the big kitchen and livingroom. Eventually, a young man came into view.

"Marsh, this is Riley. Your future stepbrother." Anabel introduced. Riley could feel the tension as Marshall's annoyed glare landed on him.

"Hey-" Marshall turned around and headed right back up the stairs. Anabel watched him with a slight frown.

"He's.. Still getting used to everything. Give him time." She said. Riley nodded, hoping Marshall would eventually come around.

"I have to finish making dinner. Your room is upstairs, across from the door with signs on it." Anabel explained. Riley nodded, heading up the stairs. He easily spotted the door. 'Don't come in'

'Stay out'

'Go away'

He chuckled quietly, entering his room. Riley put his things away, looking over at what he assumed was Marshall's door. Riley stepped out into the hall, knocking on it gently. Marshall opened the door, taking one look at him and making a disgusted noise. Riley grabbed the side of the door before Marshall closed it.

"What do you want?" Marshall asked, opening his door fully.

"I wanna talk." Riley replied. Marshall rolled his eyes but let him speak.

"I don't wanna any bad blood, beef, or tension between us. I'm not taking your mom and your not taking my dad. We're... Family." Riley cleared the air.

"I don't want your fucking dad." Marshall sneered. Ah, Marshall didn't like the idea of sharing his mom. Tomas did tell him that Anabel had raised Marshall as a single parent which meant they probably had a tight bond and their presence threatened him.

"Listen, Marsh, I-"

"Marshall." He corrected bitterly.

"Right, Marshall, don't you think we owe it to them? They've both been heartbroken and now.. They've found each other and they clearly love each other." Riley said softly.

"You're one to talk." Marshall smirked.

"Weren't you crying to Tomas about your breakup like two days ago?" Ouch. Riley took a deeo breath in.

"I'm trying to be nice-"

"I don't give a shit. Don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't even breath in my direction and I swear to god if you touch my skateboard, I'll fucking drown you in the pool." Marshall growled before slamming his door. Riley blinked, the slam echoing down the hall and shaking some pictures hanging on the wall. Marshall had big stone walls around him but Riley was ready to break them.

"So, Riley, what's your job?" Anabel asked, glancing at Marshall as he stabbed his fork into the steak repeatedly.

"I'm a journalist." Riley replied with a smile, eyeing Marshall.

"Really? Marsh is actually really into writing. He's taking online courses." Anabel told him excitedly. So, the bull and the peacemaker had something in common.

"You should show me your stuff one of these days." Riley said, taking a sip of his wine when Marshall glared at him. Tomas cleared his throat.

"We have the whole wedding ready, we just need to get you a suit and we'll be good to go. Maybe you can go with Marsh-"

"I'm not hungry and I'm busy tomorrow." Marshall said, grabbing his plate.

"But you barely ate, babe." Anabel pointed out. Marshall shrugged.

"I ate some fruit snacks earlier." He said, shoving his plate into the microwave and walking away. Anabel sighed.

"We hears the door slam.. Did something happen?" Tomas asked, looking at him.

"Marshall wasn't in the mood to talk. Nothing else." Riley assured, finishing his meal. He stood, leaving the couple alone. Riley got Marshall's food out of the microwave, heading upstairs. He knocked gently on Marshall's door before peeking in. Marshall looked at him and huffed.

"You didn't eat." Riley placed the plate on the nightstand.

"I'm not leaving until you eat."

"Oh my god.. Can you get any more annoying?" Marshall sat up, looking ready to swing at him. Riley motioned to the food. A punch would be worth it if Marshall later on ate and warmed up to him.

"Fucking hell..." Marshall grabbed the plate, eating his food. Riley took a moment to look around his room. Pictures of him and Anabel made the otherwise dark and gloomy room much brighter.

"You two must be close, huh?" Riley gently picked up a frame, looking it over.

"When did your dad leave?" He asked. Marshall glanced at him, licking his lips.

"My 1st birthday." He said quietly. Riley frowned. Marshall probably had trust and abandonment issues followed by some daddy issues. Riley was glad that Tomas always took care of him.

"Give us a chance. Get to know us before you decide that we're the bad guys. Not every stepsibling or stepdad is evil, Cinderella." Riley told him as he took the plate from him. Marshall flipped him off as he walked to the door.

"Goodnight, Marsh."

"Go choke on a dick."
