just had the sudden realization that the reason I haven't been motivated to write the next chapter of Seven Devils isn't so much bc I can't find any writing motivation but rather bc I've planned for the next 3 chapters to deal with some pretty heavy stuff and I'm not sure if I'm even ready enough to write it yet...... even after not touching the story in over 6 months now......

fluff alphabet; jude bellingham
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: fluff alphabet
pairing: jude bellingham x fem!reader
notes: you can find my masterlist here. u ask, i deliver🤭u can find the smutty version of this here
A = Affection (how affectionate are they? how do they show affection?)
so so so affectionate it’s sickening to other people but it’s ur favourite thing abt him. he loves hugs and kisses and holding hands and just touching u in general. will randomly come up to u in the house or while ur out w family/friends and wrap u up in the tightest bear hug for no reason other than he wants to love on u. you’ll be talking or just minding ur own business and suddenly he’s smothering ur face in kisses, gripping ur cheeks and just attacking u with his lips and his excuse will just be “cant help it, just so pretty baby”. and saying that he’s so affectionate w his words too. always telling u how gorgeous u are, how nice u look today in those clothes or just randomly compliments u when ur laying abt in the house bc he just needs u to know and never wants u to forget
B = Baby (do they want children?)
so so badly. he has baby fever more than u probably. he always sees his older teammates w their children and it sends him into a spiral bc even tho ur both pretty young he cant wait to start ur own family. he can never concentrate seeing u with children bc it’ll send his mind into overdrive and he’s always telling u how excited he is to finally have kids. probably has a lot planned out already such as how he’d wna decorate their rooms and his favourite names and the two of u probably talk abt it a lot. especially at night when it’s dark and it feels safe to whisper abt ur future together. just snuggling into him and whispering abt which names u like the most and whether they’ll be more like u or more like him and if u should paint their room blue or pink or yellow. i think his favourite thing to do wld be to plan a future that involves kids
C = Cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how would they cuddle?)
he loves cuddles!!! more than anything bc he’s such a big softie and just likes holding u/likes to be held. loves a tight bear hug!! just wraps u up completely in his arms and squeezes, rocks u a little and it’s so comforting to both of u. loves to cuddle in bed too even when ur not sleeping. he’s watching tv and ur reading but he’s on top of u, head on ur stomach while he’s got his arms wrapped around u
D = Dates (do they prefer flashy or casual dates?)
bit of both and it depends on the mood. he adores showing u off and spoiling u rotten so he’ll book expensive restaurants and buy expensive wine and food bc u deserve the best of everything. but bc of his fame sometimes he wants u to himself where u can’t be interrupted or bombarded by fans. so he youse will have a casual cinema date tucked away in the back of the theatre and then eating fast food in ur car parked up in the car park. or just date night at home, just the two of u. cooking dinner or ordering take away, watching movies and smuggling, just super quiet and low key
E = Emotions (are they an emotional person? are they good at expressing themselves?)
we can all agree he’s pretty emotionally mature and he wld be in ur relationship. if something was upsetting him or he wasn’t happy w something he’d tell u bc he’s been taught that talking is always the best way to solve things. he is pretty emotional but he’s not one to hide it, he’ll tell u when he’s sad or when he’s happy and he worn try and hide any of his feelings from u bc he wants u both to be open abt that stuff and there for each other. sometimes he’ll turn to the silent treatment but it wldnt last very long mainly bc he cant cope not talking to u but also bc he realises that it’s stupid and he misses u. he can be very stubborn at times tho so even tho most of the times he’s great at communicating his emotions the odd time his age will really show and his stubborn side will come out. that’s usually what leads to the silent treatment but again it never lasts that long especially when he sees u looking all snug in his hoodie on the bed and he just need to cuddle u. he’d mutter a little apology w kisses and you’d talk it out
F = Feelings (who caught feelings first?)
HIM. he knew u was in deep the second he met u, stumbling over his words and getting all embarrassed, trying to be funny and failing bc he was so nervous. but after a few dates he’d know for certain how much he liked u. making him work for it a little bit and refusing to date him for a while and that just makes him fall for u more but from the get go he likes u so so bad. always flirting, always complimenting u, talking abt u none stop to his family and his friends. he’d talk abt u so much to his mam that she’d know u so well before the two of u even met. him being the one to catch feelings first he’d also be the one to initiate ur first kiss bc he just can’t wait any longer and then after he’d be a giddy little mess and wld have to kiss u again. and again. and again. until ur both giggling and u have to hold him at arms length
G = Gentle (how gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
he’s a baby and a gentle soul in person no matter how angry he gets on the pitch. he’s always so soft and careful with u (unless u ask him not to be) bc he’s aware of how much bigger and stronger he is and he doesn’t wna hurt u. always holds u carefully and kisses u softly until ur demanding more and then ofc he’s complying but if it’s not one of those situations he’s always so gentle with u. he’s always reminding u he loves u too at any given moment, even if ur in the middle of an argument and he can’t leave without making sure he says it
H = Honesty (do they share everything with you?)
yes. ur the first to know anything abt anything bc ur the first person he thinks to call or text or go home to. no matter what it is he tells u, whether it be gossip from the team or his friends or news abt his career he tells u it all. even bad stuff, he shares all of it with u bc he knows you’ll sit and listen and will offer advice if he needs it
I = I love you (who said “i love you” first?)
so even tho he caught real feelings first u were the one to say “i love u” first. saying it after one of this big matches and ur just so so proud of him and the second he’s in front of u u dive at him, wrapping urself completely around him and going on abt how proud u are and then slipping in that little phrase and jude wld think he’d misheard at first. he’d pull away and set u back on ur feet and ask u to say it again and ur smiling so bright at him, taking his cheeks and kissing him so softly while repeating it and he’s just so overwhelmed bc maybe he’s been wanting to say it for a while but he’s been a little scared but now he’s not holding back. smothering ur face in kisses and in between them he’s saying he loves u. just so sweet and cute and neither of u are focused on people around u
J = Jealousy (how jealous do they get? what do they do when they're jealous?)
i feel like he’s very confident in ur relationship and how much u love him so he usually doesn’t get jealous bc he knows if anyone’s coming on to u ur not interested and wld brush them off immediately. but sometimes he can’t help himself, usually if it’s his friends or teammates that have a thing for u bc to him that’s crossing a line. he doesn’t really do anything too drastic, usually just a “subtle” reminder that ur his. will usually wrap an arm around ur shoulder or waist or pull u in for a quick kiss, just something to say “yeah she’s mine u can stop looking now”. it sometimes makes him a little pouty but ur always quick to kiss that away and send him a smile and a reminder that u love him
K = Kisses (where do they like to kiss their partner? where do they like to be kissed?)
loves loves loves giving forehead kisses!!! will just cup the back of ur neck and then dip his head to press his lips to ur forehead. sometimes he’ll linger for a little while and you’ll feel him smile and it’s honestly the cutest thing. does it all the time. to say hello, to say goodbye, to say he loves u, just bc, while he’s laughing over something you’ve said, to placate ur jealousy, as a way of making u feel better if u sad, literally will kiss ur forehead all the time and for so many reasons :(
he likes when u kiss his jaw bc it makes him all fuzzy inside and u often do it before kissing him properly so it’s like a build up. just slowly kissing his jaw until he’s all impatient and then finally slotting ur lips over his and he’ll give this quiet little hum of happiness every single time. also likes when u kiss his thighs, not even in a sexual way (although he does love that). just laying w ur head on his thigh while watching tv or scrolling on ur phone and then you’ll just turn ur head and pepper his thighs in kisses just showing them so much love and he always gets a stupid grin on his face bc he thinks it’s adorable
L = Little ones (how are they around children?)
oh he’s an absolute angel we all know this. is so happy to be around children no matter what, will talk to them, play w them, teach them little football tricks if they ask like he’s just the sweetest and u adore it. if u have little neices/nephews or siblings he’d love being around them, like wld wna babysit all the time and wld have the best time and they’d love him. the way he is w children always makes u broody and he always teases u abt it and jokes that all the babysitting now is to prepare u for future little bellingham’s
M = Morning (how are mornings spent with them?)
some mornings he has to leave before u and if that’s the case he’ll be so so quiet while getting ready and then wld leave with a little kiss on ur head and wld text u immediately after leaving the house to say he’s left and good morning and he loves u :( but if ur able to spend a morning together it’s usually relatively slow. neither of u are morning people so it’s usually quiet, sharing soft kisses and muttered “good mornings” while still tangled in the sheets bc u always take forever to finally get up. when u do u brush ur teeth and everything in silence, jude occasionally squeezing ur hip or nudging u softly in a little loving way. making breakfast together and he’s behind u, arms around ur waist to cuddle into u while u talk quietly abt what ur gna do that day. it generally is just slow and loving and quiet but that’s how u like it
N = Nights (how are nights spent with them?)
SNUGGLES!!!!! nighttime routine together first tho, whether that be showering together or wtv and then doing ur skincare (forcing him to do the same as u bc u wna keep his skin beautiful) before getting ready for bed. he always always puts ur pjs in the dryer while ur doing ur skincare bc he knows u like them to be warm. either snuggling on the sofa w blankets or in bed to catch up on a show ur watching together and he’s got u tucked up against his side, head on his chest and he’s stroking ur arm and ur head and soothing u to sleep. it’s always so slow and soft bc usually u don’t get a lot of time together during the day so nighttime is for the two of u just to relax and bask in each other’s company
O = Open (when would they start revealing things about themselves?)
i feel like it’d take a bit of time at first, not like loads but he’d definitely be a little hesitant at first revealing certain things bc he’s still so unsure if he can trust girls given his fame :( but from the very start you’d make it clear u aren’t interested in any of that and it wldnt take him long to realise and he’d trust u a lot more than he does a lot of people even early on. he’d like u so much from the very first meeting so as soon as he’d figured out he could really trust u he’d have no problems spilling things abt himself, even the most embarrassing of his secrets
P = Parents (do their parents like you?)
oh god yes. like more than they like him and jobe. u and his mam are practically best friends and u always do things w her without jude. always shopping and going out for meals or going to spas and she’s always calling and texting to see if ur okay and jude’s always like??? “hello i’m here too” and she’d just brush him off bc ofc he is but she needs to know how ur feeling today. being just as close to his dad and u and him always bullying jude bc he’s always showing u old baby pics that u can use against ur boyfriend
Q = Quizzes (how much would they remember about their partner?)
every. single. thing. from the very first time u spoke to each other bc he’s been down bad ever since. like remembers things u told him on ur first date and ur like??? how is that even possible. always remembers if u say u like something, even in passing, and then wld get that thing for u and wld act so casual abt it but it means the absolute world to u. being at dinner w friends and they’re offering drinks/food and before u even know what’s going on he’s all “no she doesn’t like that, she’ll have ___ tho” and it’s the exact thing u wld’ve chosen and it makes u all giddy inside how well he knows u
R = Remember (what is their favourite moment in your relationship?)
the first time u went to one of his matches. he remembers being so nervous at first to have u there, tucked in w his family, bc he wanted to impress u and wanted u to see how good he was (as if u didn’t already know🙄). but the second he spotted u he was so giddy, grinning so bright and just wanting to kiss u silly bc u looked so pretty in his shirt. you’d told him that morning that u knew he was gna score bc u could feel it, joking u were a good luck charm and he did score dedicating the goal to u and feeling so happy abt how shy u looked when he pointed ur way. after the match he’d gone and pulled u into a hug and kissed u like he’d been wanting to all match and he’ll never forget ur smile and all the praise u threw his way. u did that after every match following, no matter the outcome, always telling him how proud u are but nothing wld beat that first time
S = Sad (how do they like to be comforted?)
loves back and head scratches :)) if he’s feeling down he doesn’t even really need to tell u bc u can just tell, letting him know he can talk when he’s ready while coaxing him into bed or onto the sofa. he likes when u let him lay on top of u, face tucked away in ur neck ur while u gently graze ur nails over his back and shoulders or over his head :( like i said early he’s good at talking abt his feelings so after a while he’ll eventually tell u what’s wrong bc he knows how good u are at giving him advice or just cheering him up a little bit he won’t move from that position even while ur talking so you’ll spend a good chunk of time just slowly rubbing over his skin until he’s ready to move
T = Try (how much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
he deserves a medal for how much effort he puts into the relationship. even tho he’s a busy boy he still makes sure he’s treating u right. dates are always planned to perfection no matter what they are. he always goes all out on anniversaries and bdays, books time away to ur favourite places as a surprise and buys u the sweetest gifts, often new pieces of jewellery bc he just likes spoiling u. even just day to day he’s so attentive and sweet. leaves little notes on the mirror or fridge if he leaves for training before ur awake, gets ur coffee and breakfast ready so u don’t have to rush when u do wake up. will sometimes bring home ur favourite snacks or something if he’s passed a shop bc he knows the thought alone will make u smile
U = Ugly (what would be some bad habits of theirs?)
he’s a boy and is sooooo messy and doesn’t clean up after himself. definitely leads to arguments when he leaves dishes out or leaves his clothes all over the floor. but then he’ll just flash u that charming smile and give u a kiss and a sickly sweet apology
V = Value (how valuable is your relationship to them? is it a top priority?)
absolutely it’s a top priority. he knows he’s busy and his career means ur apart a lot and he knows that can be difficult but he never lets u think he’s putting that before u. he puts so much effort into making sure u know he loves and appreciates u even if u haven’t seen each other in a while and he’s always inviting u to events and matches so he can keep up w his career and while not neglecting u or ur relationship. if you’ve been apart for a while bc of matches he’ll make sure that as soon as he’s free again u have all his time even if that’s just spending the day at home together
W = Wedding (do they see themselves marrying you?)
yes 100%. he thinks abt it all the time. probably more than u (he’s a massive romantic okay idc). he’s definitely talked to urs and his parents abt it, urs more so in passing as tho looking for approval (which he was given immediately) but w his mam especially he’s talked abt it a lot. he’s looked at rings online a couple of times trying to find which ones he thinks u wld like the most and you’d already told him ur dream destination and he’s looked into it. he’s more than ready for when the time actually comes and ur both ready for the next step. BUT i feel like he’d wna have kids first bc he wants to see them as little flower girls/page boys like nothing wld make him happier than marrying u and having ur children there to see
X = Xylophone (what’s your song?)
mardy bum by arctic monkeys. jude’s always teasing u abt how moody u are sometimes (especially on ur period) and whenever u get in a real mood w him he’d gotten into the habit of playing that song or singing it to u and most of the time it’ll make u laugh, usually bc his singing is so awful. he likes singing it really loud with u in the kitchen even when ur not in a mood, spinning u and dipping u until ur both giggling and almost falling over. mardy bum is also one of his nicknames for u bc of ur love for the song
Y = Yearning (how do they act when they miss you?)
calls and texts u constantly. i’m talking bombards ur phone until u answer and it’ll be w the most pointless messages but u adore it bc u love knowing he’s thinking abt u. he’ll send u updates on what he’s doing, what he’s eaten, pics of things that remind him of u, memes, tiktoks, random “i love u. i miss u” texts. also always asks if u can fall asleep on facetime together sometimes bc he doesn’t wna stop talking to u :( like he really is a big softie. definitely sends u lots of flowers when ur apart w cute little notes attached like “these r pretty and they reminded me of u” he turns into the biggest mush when he misses u
Z = ZZZ (how do they like to sleep)
loves spooning!!!! either big or little he doesn’t care. prefers little spoon after a bad match/bad day bc he likes u to hold him and he always feels safe and loved like that :( but also loves to be big spoon so he can just wrap himself around u and hold u tight, always gives u little shoulder kisses like this while he tells u goodnight. moves abt a lot in his sleep tho so youse never wake up like that the next morning. but he also likes falling asleep w his head on ur chest!! locks his leg around urs and snuggles against ur boobs and asks u to stroke his back or scratch his head and he’ll fall asleep almost immediately bc ur so comforting and cosy to him

how seventeen braid their s/o's hair
requested by anon: Hiiii can I request a svt reaction to you asking them to braid your hair?
notes: this is sooo cute omg. also bc reader's hair is getting braided, they have long hair
masterlist
Tumblr media
seungcheol
does his best! he's a bit fumbling, and he has to follow along to a youtube video very, very slowly while he does your hair but it looks very pretty. he's smiling at his finished product, kissing the top of your head and telling you that you look utterly beautiful (and no it's not just bc He was the one who did it shh). asks if he can braid your hair another time bc it was vv fun and in the future he'd love to be able to do more of these things like this for you 
jeonghan
actually sucks. he's never braided someone else's hair before, you know? it's difficult, okay, don't look at him like that. he doesn't even know where to start. takes a while, but he does manage a decent-looking braid even though it's only his first time. clicks his tongue at it, annoyed with himself, and asks if he can braid your hair more often. you're still yet to discover if this new fixation you've instilled him with is going to turn out to be a good thing. 
joshua
hidden pro. whenever jeonghan has his long hair, joshua is one of those people that he always looks for to complain about how annoying it is, so shua's kinda been forced to learn how to braid hair just so jeonghan will stop irritating him. works deftly and quickly, and gives the finished braid a quick pat before kissing your ear and telling you he's finished. goes "of course you love it, i did it" when you tell him how pretty it is, but he has that bright, satisfied smile on his face
junhui
does his best, but it ends up being a little bit wonky. so he does it again. and again. probably braids your hair several times, on and each attempt there's something just not quite right, so in the end he gives up with a sad smile. it's okay, though, because it's perfect in your eyes (and better than what you could have done, but he doesn't need to know that) and you praise him so so much for it that it makes him giggle and blush profusely and his adoring expression is totally worth the wonky braid
hoshi
does it super duper fast and with a super duper amount of care !! okay maybe not as much care, but he is careful not to tug on your hair too hard. and it looks good, very pretty and neat, but… the hairtie he uses is one of those little stretchy clear plastic ones and god knows how he actually tied your hair with it in the first place, but halfway through the day the hairtie snaps and your hair falls all into your face. it's okay, though. the braid looked nice for all of the two hours it was able to actually stay up as a braid
wonwoo
works very quietly, very calmly on your hair. it's so relaxing that you don't realise he's actually been struggling for a rlly long time, watching a video with his airpods in with his fingers holding strands of your hair, utterly lost on how to do the french braid in the video that he'd clicked on. ends up doing something very simple, and he's a bit disappointed that he couldn't do something prettier for you, but don't worry. you're already planning to ask him again and again bc you can see how much he wants to learn this for you
woozi
another hidden pro. have you seen this man's fingers?? you approach him with a video of this complicated-looking braid that you want to have done in your hair, and while he does pretend to grump a little bit, he sets down whatever he was doing and follows the video efficiently, finishing your hair and asking you if this is what you wanted? it looks good, like really good, and so now whenever you want your hair done in a style that you can't do by yourself, you always go to your boyfriend who (tho he denies it) is always willing to help
minghao
very good. spends a great deal of time just running his hand through your hair, and his fingers are so careful and soothing that you almost fall asleep before he can actually get to brushing your hair, let alone properly braiding it. it's only a simple braid, but it's incredibly neat and perfectly done. smiles when you kiss his cheek in thanks, and shyly asks if maybe, if you're okay with it, can he come up to you and practice doing other and more complicated braids? 
mingyu
hesitant but also eager at the same time, in the way that only mingyu can be. watches like half a video before making grabby hands at your hair and asking you to come over to him. restarts maybe five times? the end result that he shows you looks like some sort of weird braid that isn't exactly a braid but still kind of is. it's nice, and mingyu's proud of it, but it's certainly going to be a pain to untie at the end of the day when you wanna wash your hair. 
dokyeom
can only do a very simple braid, but can do that very simple braid very, very well. gathers up your hair very well in those long fingers of his, tongue slightly sticking out as he ties up the end of your hair at the end. smooths out the braid with his fingertips, smiling and telling you that he's done a great job and you're allowed to praise him endlessly now. won't be leaping at the chance to braid your hair (can't you run your fingers through his hair instead?) but he certainly loves doing it for u
seungkwan
he's good! very good, in fact, and a little bit insulted that you asked him sceptically if he knew what he was doing when he had brandished his brush in the direction of your hair and attempted to tackle this new mission you've given him. does something oddly complicated that has him hmming and hissing at your hair in annoyance for a good half hour or so, but when he's finished it looks utterly beautiful and he laughs as you hug him tightly, playfully scolding you and telling you not to damage the braid so early on
vernon
uhhhh. you want him. to braid your hair? sure babe but you gotta understand it might not look that great. and so you end up browsing youtube videos together for a good half an hour to find a video that hansol feels like he can follow. it takes him a while, but he finds that he kind of likes doing it? he doesn't wanna try anything fancy any time soon, but if you wanna have your hair braided again then just come to him and he's more than willing to attempt to get it done once more
chan
whips out the hair ties around his wrist and beams, telling you that he's been Waiting for this for so long. is so good at it that it's actually insane, and you have a sneaky suspicion that he might have begged jeonghan to let him practise on the elder's hair once or twice before. looks at your hair for a long moment before his eyes light up and he rushes off and runs back in with butterfly clips to place all over your hair. it's beautiful. he loves it. you love it. it's the best hairstyle you've ever had ever.

random (mostly non-gf) ethan landry headcanons 💭
watches your favourite shows with you, even if some of it isn’t his thing
if you love yellowjackets he definitely gets invested with you. (playfully argues with you about which ships are better. he cried over laura lee’s death btw)
you watch his favourite shows in turn (he likes procedurals a lot. the type to like corny 2000s cable shows like psych but you still watch with him)
glued to his phone when you began talking to each other. when you weren’t there he was either texting you or calling you. he was scared you’d think it was annoying so after he feels like he’s too overbearing, he held back and sent less messages to “play it cool” but you send him a text saying i miss you :( so now he’s sending double the texts
study dates being how you spend 80% of your time with him. you’ll just be sitting near each other, going over notes or working on an assignment
during these study dates it’s mostly just silence, but occasionally either of you would break the quiet by asking the other one what they think of a certain line in an essay, etc.
if you like to cook, he would definitely try to learn from you. he’s very attentive but can get super distracted by your hands you are very good with them
(gf!ethan being fascinated by the way you handle knives for a different reason)
prefers to eat with you at yours or his apartment because he’s way more comfortable when you’re both alone (even if sometimes chad would interrupt)
surprisingly good at baking—he’s a natural and you’re even surprised when he tells you he’s never done it before. he has good baking instincts
you can’t help but kiss him when you come home early and he’s making you cupcakes for your birthday. he’s kinda sad tho bc he wanted it to be a surprise :( he made the buttercream and everything
after you become more comfortable w each other and get past that awkward stage, he cannot keep his hands off you. literally loves laying on you and putting his head in the crook of your neck
FOREHEAD KISSES
keeps a secret list of things you like even before you start dating. also some important information about you like if you have any allergies, dislikes, likes
he’s scared you might think it’s creepy but after you start dating you catch him typing on his phone while you’re talking about a pet peeve and you think he’s not paying attention so you sneak a glance at his phone and this man is literally typing it into his list
you grin so wide it’s kind of concerning, he tries to hide it from you but you pepper his face in kisses and that’s the first time you say i love you
he wanted to say i love you first but is kinda glad you beat him to it because he probably would’ve taken way longer
watches gordon ramsay shows with you (specifically kitchen nightmares and hotel hell)
right before senior year of college, your lease is about to end and at this point chad is about ready to move in with tara so ethan would have to look for a new place soon
you notice that things line up, and you’re both laying in bed talking about the future and it just clicks. you look at each other in unison with the same question on both your tongues.
“are you thinking what i’m thinking?” you ask.
he nods. after a momentary pause, he clarifies, “wait, you’re thinking we should move in together, right?”
you laugh. “yes, ethan. that’s what i’m thinking.”
“okay, good.”

Because I think it would be really interesting and funny - can you rank the Pit Babe characters on your Alan&Pete scale? I'm curious to see where you're at with some of them lmao. Least to Favorite (though I know who your fave already is, lol).
Only if you want to tho, lol.
@slayerkitty, honestly, this list could just be these two lying bitches:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Big Red is not on this list since he is the big bad, but since I have no idea what the plot actually is, take all of this with a grain of salt. I wrote that I think all of them have superpowers since Big Red was collecting them like X-Men's William Stryker for his super mutant army, so I think Charlie's superpower is mind control, and I think Way's is controlling people's emotions.
WHICH PISSES ME OFF!
Tumblr media
Babe was the prized super kid, so I think Big Red is pulling out all the stops to get his trophy racer back including sending all the other super kids to manipulate Babe with their superpowers, so let me rank them from dead-to-me to love-of-my-life:
The One I'm Ready to Box - Charles
Tumblr media
Charles keeps moving Barbie's head and body to face him. He never lets Barbie turn away from him. Then, when Barbie is clearly upset, Charles continues to kiss him, which is why I think he his mind controlling Barbie. When his arm was in the sling, Babe could push him away before Charles could start his mind control bullshit. Sometimes, it's noticeable when Babe's face softens, which should come off as sweet like "ah, look how he drops his defenses around Charlie" BUT LOOK AT THE WAY HE DROPS HIS DEFENSES AROUND CHARLIE! Charles doesn't even know how to drive, yet Babe gave him a car. Charlie's dick game may be strong, but mind control is stronger.
Tumblr media
10/10 Petes - It's on sight.
The One I'm Disappointed In - Waymond
Tumblr media
Waymond had me the first two episodes. I was in his second-lead-syndrome corner, then he flipped the script in the third episode, and now I can't unsee the red flags. In episode four, I noticed twice how he touched Barbie, which prompted a shift in Barbie's demeanor. Much like Charles, I would love to believe that Waymond brings happiness to Babe's life, which is the reason Babe looks less sad when Waymond touches him, but HE LOOKS LESS SAD WHEN WAYMOND TOUCHES HIM! I think Waymond is controlling Babe's emotions, yet Babe still doesn't love him. It's the only saving grace for Waymond. Charles is using his powers to make Barbie love him, but Waymond isn't.
Tumblr media
9/10 Alans - I'm gonna yell at him, then punch him.
The One Who Is Obvious - Jeffery
Tumblr media
Jeffery is going to be with Alan, so I can't fully hate him since I love Alan. His superpower is apparently seeing the future, which makes sense why he was opposed to touch in the second episode, and that makes him useful in my touch=superpower theory for Charles and Waymond, so I hate him a little less. BUT if he had anything to do with Barbie's car going up in flames, so he could ensure Charles got a racing spot, -murder-
Tumblr media
8/10 Petes - One wrong move and I'll end him where he stands.
The One Who Just Sucks - Winifred
Tumblr media
Winifred is just a little bitch, but God is he annoying. I don't wanna know what he is saying because I'm sure it's as annoying as his face whining all the time. Only five episodes in, and the man still ain't tired of getting his ass handed to him by Barbie and Kimberly. Whatever he is plotting is dumb. Whatever he is complaining about is stupid. Whatever he is doing is already a failure.
Tumblr media
7/10 Alans - I'm gonna push him into a real Christmas Tree, so he'll get scratched up and cry about it.
The One Who Is Gonna Suck - Decanus
Tumblr media
Dean has yet to do anything solid, which means he is just waiting to fuck us over. I haven't seen him race or work on a car, so I'm thinking he'll be pissed that Charles is doing all the things he wanted to do, and screw over the entire team regardless of the race's outcome. Jealously makes people do crazy things, but he is going to be with Winner, so homie is going to go full crazy.
Tumblr media
6/10 Petes - Anyone who fucks Whiny Winifred deserves to be slapped.
The Ones Who Ain't Loyal - North & Sonic
Tumblr media
I simply don't trust them. They are too colorful in a show that's whole visual plot hinges on red versus blue. They need to pick a color. NOW.
Tumblr media
5/10 Alans - I'll threaten them on work time, so they'll know I'm not afraid to lose my job if it means I can fight them.
The One Who Is Gonna Kill His Shitty Boss! - Kenta
Tumblr media
Why is he still fucking with Big Red?! He would be much higher on this list but when Babe was fighting Big Red (both times), Kenta looked sad. If the flashback wouldn't have just showed Babe as a kid with his dad, I'd think Kenta was his actual brother. The way Babe yelled at him in the parking lot makes me think they have a long history, so I'm hoping once Kenta teams up with Kimberly, he'll be the good guy I know he can be.
Tumblr media
4/10 Petes - If he kills his boss, he'll be number one in my heart forever.
The Pretty One - Peter
Tumblr media
Pete is like a Lord of the Rings' elf. He is pretty. He is an archer. He is kinda sus. And he is the perfect ally. Much like those beautiful elves, I don't think he joined up with the blue team because he is a kind dude. This is for his own personal gain, which means he must have beef with Big Red; therefore, he has a superpower too. I think he heard Kenta or smelled Kenta's cigarette because Peter didn't turn around until Kenta turned around. He knew Kenta was there. And he sensed Waymond's emotion-changing powers too, so I'm okay with them being together (as long as he punches Waymond too).
Tumblr media
3/10 Alans - Watching his every move . . . because I think he is pretty. Not because I think is he bad.
The One Who Will Solve It - Kimberly
Tumblr media
Kim is a real one. He presents as red. He works for the reds. He is a red, and isn't ashamed of it. He hasn't faked his color, and in a perfect world, he'd be with Babe. I don't think he has a superpower, but if he did, it would be the power of common sense. He hates his coworker, Winifred, as any sane person would, so he gets the passenger seat in my car. He also got a handshake from Babe, so he already made friends with Babe. They would make a perfect pair. Barbie x Kimberly Ghost Ship is being captained by me.
Tumblr media
2/10 Petes - We're frenemies!
The Main One - Barbie
Tumblr media
Babe is the title character, and he is being manipulated and controlled by everyone around him, but . . . the boy is un pendejo. The first two episodes, he was a little too macho, and in episode three and four, he was un pendejo. He argued with Kenta when Kenta could have just kidnapped him, then he punched everyone on his way to Big Red's office, which makes no sense to walk directly up to the man who is going all out to get you back. He is in need of a good hug that does NOT lead to sex, and for someone to tell him he is more than his superpower (which is . . . being awesome at everything?).
Tumblr media
1/10 Kanghans - I'm upset at him and for him all at once.
The One I Love - Alan
Tumblr media
My man has committed no wrongs. He is amazing. He is fantastic. He is beauty. He is grace. He should slap all these fucking liars in the face.
But he won't because he is too pure for this world.
No Petes. No Alans. No Kanghan. Just love.

another idea for an episode if we do get a Third Tv show in the future.
what about one where Branch is sick? like maybe the Bros end up finding him in his Bunker after people have noticed he hasn't been out today and he's ill.
not like seriously ill but just ill enough that he can hardly do much of anything and he says its just a minor thing that he can handle on his own like he always has.
but the Bros insist on staying over to look after him which Branch finds strange and is somewhat confused by.
anyway they end up waiting on him hand and foot and not exactly handling it super well they bicker over which Home Remedies are best to give him Bruce thinks he knows best because he has looked after children while JD thinks he knows best because he's lived out in the wild where he's had to make his own medicine when he's gotten sick.
and they end up kinda annoying Branch by being a bit too caring and protective not letting him do anything for himself and making a bit of a mess of his Bunker not keeping the place as tidy as he'd like and putting stuff back in the wrong places.
which irks Branch quite a lot and eventually he ends up losing it with them and shouting at them about why they're even here? and why they've all been acting so weird? and off?
only for the Bros to say in a somewhat somber and confused manner that they were just worried and trying to care for him and that this is what most families normally do for each other theirs included before they all Broke up.
and maybe Bruce or Floyd somewhat Hesitantly asks Branch something along the lines of "" has no one ever taken care of you when you've been sick in the past? ""
Branch kinda confused says no and that he's always just dealt with this kinda stuff on his own even when Grandma was alive for the first few years of his life he never really got ill so he never had experienced anything like this.
yeah its a sad little Revelation as the Bros all feel bad for a moment but Regardless one of them ( maybe Floyd or JD ) perks the others up by saying well they're here now and that this is part of what having a family is.
Branch is quietly happy about this and agrees to take it easy again letting them help him tho he does make his annoyance at how they are Ruining His Bunker very clear.
and at the end of the episode the Bros are nervously trying to follow Branch's exact instructions for where to put certain items back in their places and what Rations are and aren't for using outside of emergency's.
and stuff like that stressing the Brothers out quite a Bit 😂😂😂😂

Robb Stark x Targaryen Reader
Request: „Hi! Hope you're having a great day, if you don't mind, please could you write a robb stark x reader?‟
„can you do just a fluffy oneshot with robb where reader thought he was dead (they were betrothed and in love so reader was like still in mourning even tho it's been months since he died) and turns out he survived the Red Wedding along with Grey Wind and they just have this super fluffy and teary reunion and later that day reader just wanted to cuddle robb and never let go hope that makes sense!‟
A/N: This is my first attempt at writing for Robb Stark. I put two requests together in this story from anons I hope you as well as them gonna like it. 
English is not my native language so I am sorry for any mistakes.
*Thoughts, memories, and other languages are written in bold italics.
Tumblr media
He was standing in front of her. Safe and sound, and above all... alive.
She looked at him with a shadow of tears in her violet eyes. Her hands, cold and trembling, held his neck like a lifeline, helping her not to drown in the ocean of bitterness and despair. The man held her near him, wanting to have her as close as possible, never wanting to let go, his hands gripping the material of the white-haired woman coat. In a silent act, conveying the care he wanted to soothe the heart of the dragon princess.
But nothing was able to help her.
-I beg you- she whispered on the verge of hysteria -I beg you, Robb, don't agree to Lord Frey's proposal. I can not loose you.
-You will not loose me. I am yours and you are mine, now, until the end of our days -he replied kissing her forehead lovingly.
-I don't want the end of your days to end tomorrow night, I won't let it happen - the woman said firmly- The people of Westeros are manipulative, wherever they go, they look for a chance. To use, to take and...
-I am the king of the north, but I am also a man of honor - Stark tried to explain to her, running his large hands over her soft skin.
-My father was a king - the young Targaryen drawled through her teeth - He saw people as traitors, unconsciously creating them himself. He paid for it with life, not only his but also his children. Don't make the same mistake.
-I will attend this wedding - said the brunette, sticking to his sentence - You should go there with me, as the future queen of the north - he added, more quietly, even though the two lovers were alone anyway.
-In the morning, me and Jaelarys return to Essos - she announced to Robb's surprise. -Dany want to discuss further expanding our alliances in here. I can't keep her waiting.
-So you're leaving me?- the northman asked, trying to hide the pain in his voice.
-I haven't seen my sister in over six months -Y/n said, offended -I want to see if she's safe, I have to. She may need me.
-I need you - replied her lover.
-Now you're the king of the north - the violet-eyed whispered, kissing the corner of his mouth -Maybe when I come back, you'll be the king of all seven kingdoms -she added, connecting their foreheads.
She said this words trying to hide her anger, preferring to leave rather than listen, not knowing at the time that that conversation was their last.
Or so she thought.
-Gaomagon ao gīmigon bisa vala,mandia? (Do you know this man, sister?) Daenerys asked, waking the princess from her thoughts.
-Kessa (Yes) - she managed to say - Īles se Dārys hen Jelmor (He was the king of the north) - she added more quietly.
-Oh- only came out of Taragryen's mouth- I thought Robb Stark...died -she admitted surprised, trying to choose her words carefully in front of her already emotionally sensitive sister.
Y/n thought so too. Her grief and sadness knew no bounds since they had been awakened by the news of the death of Young Wolf, her beloved Robb.
-I'd like to talk to the king in private - the silver-haired woman confessed after a while, feeling her last particles of stability starts slipping between her fingers.
-Of course- queen of Dragonstone replied, sounding soothing and warm, wanting to reassure her sister from a distance.
The violet-eyed princess left the throne room without hesitation and, to the surprise of the oldest of the Starks, did not even looked at him. Her footsteps were quick and hard, each one bouncing off the stone walls of the castle.
She didn't have to turn around. She knew the man was following her, even if he didn't know where she was leading him.
When she was sure that no one would interrupt their conversation, only then did her footsteps stop.
As she turned around, Robb was able to take a close look at the changes that had taken place during their separation. Once full of joy and feisty face changed to a colder, almost indifferent expression. The eyes were more faded, deep down drowning in the sadness that Y/n had experienced.
Looking at her ,broke his heart and filled him with anger at the same time. It was because of him that the young woman found herself in this position, because he didn't listen, because he didn't came earlier but four years later, when instead of the stubborn girl for whom he was so crazy, he found her shadow.
Stark's first instinct was to embrace her fragile form, so he did exactly that. Taking her body to himself, he covered it with thick, black fur and wrapped his arms around it.
Y/n felt as if for the first time in a very long time she could breathe fully, as if her lungs were finally filled with the air necessary to survive. Her hands disappeared into the brunette's coat, holding on tightly, not wanting to let go.
-I should have listened - the northman said after a while -I should have been wiser...
-Robb, don't - the young Targaryen interrupted him, placing one of her hands on his chest, then lifting her head and staring into his blue irises -We can't change the past. What happened… I really thought I lost you - she confessed, the first tears in her eyes.
-They killed everyone...my mother begged them to spare me but in response they slit her throat and stuck a dagger in me- he replied bitterly, clenching his hands on Daenerys sister's waist -I thought it was my end. But Greywind found my body, dragged me to some hut. The old lady must have been terrified when she saw me, but she helped me anyway.
-It wouldn't be wise to ignore the king of the north and his direwolf -Y/n stated, and Stark smiled at the hint of sarcasm in her mouth that he loved so much -She saved you and I'm glad she did, especially when...- halfway through, she frowned ,putting on a serious face, it was obvious that she wanted to confess something.
-Princess - one of the maidservants suddenly interjected -Rhaella woke up from her nap, she's fussy. I believe she's calling for her mother.
Y/n left her former lover's arms at the words about her child. Smiling gently at the Dothraki woman, she nodded her head in understanding.
Watching as she leaves in the only direction she knew, the violet-eyed woman looked at the man out of the corner of her eye.
-Robb, I know a lot has been dumped on your shoulders, but I think you should meet someone - she announced quietly -It's important.
Northman at first thought he had misheard. 
That it wasn't about Y/n. Then the thought of a new dragon crept into his mind, but when he stood in the doorway of the chambers, he knew exactly who Rhaella was.
The young Targaryen with natural delicacy lifted the toddler up, cradling her in her arms, thus soothing her. The girl was a copy of her mother, inheriting every trait of the dragon bloodline.
Walking slowly towards the brunet, she involuntarily clenched her hands on the child harder, not knowing how he would react.
-Is she mine?- whispered the blue-eyed man, gliding his hand over the girl's ruddy cheek.
-Yes - the princess replied simply.
Tumblr media
Y/n woke up in the middle of the night. Half of her bed was empty, causing her to awakening instantly. Where was Robb? Was it another nightmare, or was she slowly starting to lose her mind?
Her eyes quickly scanned the room. They finally found a man who held her heart in an iron grip.
Targaryen rose carefully from the bed, approaching him quietly. The king from the north greeted her, wrapping his arm around her body so she could shamelessly take his warmth for herself.
-Why aren't you sleeping?- she asked softly, kissing his jaw.
-I couldn't sleep - he replied, staring at the sea outside the window.
-Are you sure it's just sleep problems?- the princess asked, seeing the change in Stark after seeing his daughter.
-I...- he began, but couldn't finish, grabbing the stone balustrade, squeezing his hand around it -I can't stop thinking what would have happened if you hadn't flown away that morning and stayed with me. If you had participated in this carnage - he whispered, looking at Rhaella sleeping, unaware of anything.
-You didn't know, nobody knew that I was with child - the young woman admitted - The news of your death resulted in too much stress, my body couldn't stand it. Then I found out I was pregnant. You couldn't have known Robb - she assured, stroking his back.
-How can you be so calm, so forgiving? - he asked confused, looking at her like a lost child rather than a king.
-Because I can't stay stuck in the past any longer. I can't think what if. This world won't let me, I have to push forward not only for myself, but for people who need me Robb, you should do the same - Y/n stated, after a moment she kissed his lips lovingly.
-I love you my queen - he murmured, cupping her face in his hands.
-And I love you my king - replied Daenerys' sister, closing her eyes -Now and forever.
-Now and forever - Stark repeated, connecting their foreheads.
The impending war was at their feet, but tonight, at this moment, only their feelings and sensations mattered. Their touches of hands and brushes of lips. Their song of ice and fire. The Wolf and the Dragon.

okay so, since I'm an impatient idiot and I absolutely loved the treats u gave us, I'm here to ask for another XDD (forgive this greedy soul for op content)
Soooo my request is seeing the sons and daddy Tristan together, so what if, Instead of spending that whole month in the henituse territory Cale having enough being watched liked a hawk and the sadness of what he did to rok soo made him go to tristan instead? Like he spend half the month in the henituse territory and the remaining with Tristan cuz he wasn't able to face rok soo knowing well he hurt him, but he was ignoring that to prevent himself from just going to his hyung hugging him and talking in general cuz he is an idiot, and then we get rok soo's perspective on how he feels about the whole Cale going to Tristan's place and how he felt hurt over what Cale said but simply choose to gloss over it cuz according to him his pain don't really matter and he gets over stuff fast and poor Tristan being stuck between his 2 idiot sons XDD noticed all that and wonders what he can do and does it lololol (tho we all know he is an dotting idiot too lolol)
So yeh, if it's not too much trouble could I trouble u with this request?!? Prettyy please! And thank you for the other treats, have a great day!
Okay lol this one will contain glimpses of the future in the fanfic,,
--------------
"Regarding the reports from the Northern Territory, have all the Northern Rulers know that I will be meeting with them in two days to discuss all the complaints."
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The man nodded respectfully. The sound of flipping papers came shortly after. “About the Dark River—”
Both men paused at the sudden sound of someone teleporting into the spacious round office with many windows all around. Eventually, a very familiar person came into view, standing on the teleport podium in the corner. 
 
“……”
The three people in the vast office the size of a hall just stared in silence. The man awkwardly looked between the Emperor and the son.
Cale blinked and nodded after the complete silence between the two, “Apologies for the interruption. I’ll head to my room—”
“Stay.”
And Cale stayed still as told, only stepping outside the podium when Tristan stared long at him to ensure he didn’t leave. He watched as his dad turned to the man beside him, giving him all the measures needed before dismissing him. 
The door closed quietly, and only Cale, with his dad, left in the silent hall.
Tap—
Tristan tapped the table with the few remaining reports and left it aside to work on later. He relaxed back in his seat and eyed his son, who was standing and was oddly silent. “I don’t see Rok-Soo with you this time.”  
Cale only hummed quietly. He blinked when a seat and a small table appeared from below the floor in front of the office table, and a cookie jar was put atop the table. He looked up and found Tristan munching on a cookie and had his own jar of cookies, most certainly prepared by Madelin. He smiled a little and walked to sit on the comfortable couch made for one person.
“So where is Rok-Soo?” Tristan asked casually, staring at Cale before him with the cookie in his hand.
“In Super Rock Villa.”
“Hmm,” Tristan looked at the jar to pick another cookie, “Did something happen there?”
“…no.”
“Hmm,” Tristan took a bite, nodding slowly while staring elsewhere, “What about your work?”
Cale took a bite of a cookie and hummed quietly, pleased with the taste, “Father is taking my place for now.”
“Mhm,” Tristan’s eyes landed on the glass of water left for him on the table. He made the glass float toward the small table instead. He took another cookie, “So, you had a fight with Rok-Soo?”  
 
“Kuh—! Ahm, mhm.”
Tristan watched as the redhead choked for a short moment yet maintained his elegance. “I see you two can fight like other siblings.” He hummed to himself, “You don’t want to face your brother?”
Cale let out a quiet cough with a slight frown, closing his eyes as he didn’t want to meet his dad’s knowing eyes. “No, I just need some time away from…everyone.”
 
“Do you consider me air or something?”
“Dad, please…”
“Hmm,” Tristan hummed with a hint of a chuckle as his son sighed, looking like a kicked puppy while pouting like that. Cale probably wasn’t even aware he was pouting, and Tristan could imagine Rok-Soo looking the same at the moment. “So, you came straight to my office instead of directly to your room for…?”
“Well,” Cale hesitated before meeting his dad’s eyes, “Can I stay here for a while?”
“You fuckers ask me permission every time when you both know damn well you got your own rooms prepared for you here. Are you two provoking me?” Tristan sighed lightly and cleaned his hand with the napkin, “Go ahead and run away from your responsibilities for as long as you need.” He smiled at yet another cough from his son.
“Dad—!”
“Okay, I’ll take mercy on you, pouty boy. Head to your room and be petty all you want.”
“Dad, seriously—”
“What? Am I not being nice enough to you? And here I am refraining from calling you my little coward son—”
“Thank you so much for welcoming me always. Good night, Dad.”
Tristan chuckled as Cale stood and walked straight to the door, “Join us for dinner, kid.”
Cale paused shortly, giving a quiet ‘Okay’ before closing the door behind him.
.
.
Cale stared at the ceiling while lying on his incredibly comfortable bed. After visiting many times ever since Tristan handed them special teleporting devices when the tower was constructed and ready, Cale was almost sure the bed was built with some calming effects, either by magic or something else, probably with Tristan’s powers or spirits, along with Killian’s inventions.
Even though he wasn’t spending his time any differently, the feeling was still much better here in Tristan’s tower than in his room in the Henituse mansion. Breathing was way easier in his room here.
He took a calm inhale and slowly closed his eyes, sighing quietly after. He felt like he was floating on clouds.
Ting—
He opened his eyes after a while at the soft sound from the small screen built into the bedside table.
[ Dinner’s ready. Come over to the private dining room. ]
Cale hummed at his dad’s message, forcing himself to leave his bed and move to the teleport podium in the corner of his spacious room. He stepped on the circle and tapped on the screen at the side to choose the location. He smiled briefly at the memory of Rok-Soo’s extremely pleased face at how convenient the invention was and thanked Tristan for days for being considerate of his slacker life.
He waited for the light to surround him and opened his eyes to find himself in the familiar, cozy room with a small dining table for five people.
“Oppa!”
“Lillian,” Cale ruffled his little sister’s white hair fondly, smiling down as she hugged him happily, “How have you been, dear?”
“Great! I missed you so much!” She blinked up at him before looking around behind him as if searching for someone, “Rok-Soo oppa…?”
“…he’s not with me this time.”  He patted her head while looking at the Empire from the window to his side.
“Oh…”
He felt so bad at how disappointed she sounded, considering he was the sole reason for Rok-Soo’s absence this once…
“All right! Time to eat, kids.”
 
He blinked and looked over at Madelin, his mother from his past life, smiling sweetly at him with the cheerful air around her as usual. Though, he could tell she knew something already. He glanced at Tristan, finding his dad giving him the knowing eyes and waiting for him as he relaxed in his seat with his chin resting on the back of his hand elegantly.
He let out a quiet fake cough and walked with Lillian to the table, “Good evening, mama.” He smiled as his mother looked pleased with the name, like always. He glanced briefly at the only empty seat before focusing on the food in front of him. He blinked twice; he noticed that all of his favorite foods were on the table.
“Well then, let’s dig in!” Madelin announced with a light clap, picking up the fork and knife, “I had to cook for tonight’s dinner when Tristie told me our precious Cale is here.” She said as she picked one piece of beef, eating it before the rice.
“Ah, thank you so much, you didn’t have to…” He tried the Korean food before him and hummed in delight. Madelin is really skilled at cooking and mastering any recipe in no time, as always.  
He ate and talked with Lillian and Madelin while Tristan remained quiet the whole time he ate, simply listening to the three chatterboxes around him as usual. As always, Tristan was the first to finish, and instead of leaving the table, Cale watched his dad relax in his seat and pull out the device, which looked like a phone, probably checking over the news and other reports of his Empire while Madelin and Lillian kept talking. To any outsider, it would look like the mother and daughter were having a rather serious discussion when the discussion was about Madelin allowing and encouraging Lillian to wear high heels more often.  
“Aww, but you look so adorable with them, honey!”
“Hmm…” Lillian pouted as she thought about it, looking at her brother then. “Oppa, what do you think?”
“Right, you also think your sister looks cute in them, right, Cale?”
“Well, Lillian certainly looks cute and good in everything…”
“Wearing high heels too long is bad for your back and legs.” Tristan calmly offered his thoughts while still keeping his eyes on the communication device.
“Ignore what this old man says for now, kids.” Madelin said with a cheeky grin at Cale and Lillian.
Tristan finally looked away from the device to frown at his wife, “It is bad, though. You yourself don’t wear them very often. You’re even wearing your sleeping slippers now.”
“I still love wearing them from time to time! Besides, Lillian didn’t complain once about any pain! I wouldn’t make her wear them if I noticed she was even in the slightest pain, darling!”
“Then why is she refusing them now if that is the case?”
“Because Papa said it’s bad.”
“Huh? I’m the reason?”
“You lovely old man!! I knew it was your fault!”
Cale chuckled as Tristan put away the device and started bickering with Madelin, with Lillian cheering for the both of them, looking so used to it by now and even enjoying it.
Even though this is an Imperial family here, they still looked like any other loving family in this cozy small room, laughing and having fun together.
He was once again very aware of the vacant seat to his left, and he instantly felt a void in his heart. He looked down at the food, slowly turning his head to gaze at the night sky through the window.
  
He thought of how Rok-Soo always enjoyed the moments in this little dining room, even if he usually looks unbothered on the outside.
He lightly rubbed his upper arm as he crossed his arms. He wondered if it was him or if the air in the room was a bit cold tonight.
He missed Tristan and Madelin’s glances toward him as they kept talking.
.
.
Cale walked in silence as he followed Tristan. He didn’t know why his dad came in the afternoon telling him to join him in a walk around the tower, but he didn’t have anything better to do, so he agreed without much question. Besides, watching the Empire with all the cities from the windows around in the serene corridors was really enjoyable to him; the sight was truly beautiful and showed how much Tristan worked hard as the new Emperor after all the mess with the Initial Inhabitants. 
‘Hm?’ He finally noticed where they were heading, finding the door very familiar. ‘Isn’t that… the main teleport room?’ He slightly flinched when his wrist was grabbed as they approached the door. “Um, dad…?”
He was kindly dragged into the round room and straight into the podium. He kept blinking as he tried to understand what was happening while Tristan pressed on the screen quickly and with ease, and the light surrounded them in seconds.
Huh?
“Where is Rok-Soo?”
He opened his eyes when Tristan suddenly asked the next second. He stiffened as he was met with familiar faces he had been avoiding, all staring surprised at him and Tristan…
“The Kitten Young Master is in his room, sir.”
Ron was the first to answer and soon put on his benign smile respectfully in front of the Emperor of the newly revealed Empire.
Tristan walked past everyone in the Villa without any response, with Cale still dragged silently behind him.
.
.
“Human! Human!!”
Rok-Soo answered Raon with a sleepy hum as he was still too lazy to wake up and start the day.
“Purple Grandpa is here!!”
And Rok-Soo suddenly sprung up with his poker face as if he wasn’t asleep a second ago, sitting still with his slightly messy hair. ‘Tristan is here? Why? Did something happen?’ so many questions flooded his head all of a sudden as he couldn’t recall one time when his dad visited the Villa; it was always in the Henituse mansion whenever he paid a visit or the Royal Palace for meetings with Alver, so something must have happened in this case, right? Is it Cale? Did something happen to Cale?
And two knocks came from the door shortly after.
“Rok-Soo, I’m coming in.”
“Y-Yes, Dad!”
Raon looked confused when Rok-Soo’s voice sounded weird as he answered just now and hurried to get up from the bed.
Rok-Soo ignored how his voice cracked embarrassingly and braced himself for bad news, but he froze in place when the door opened, revealing Tristan and…Cale, with Ron standing behind with his vicious smile.
“Well, good to see you're wide awake.” Tristan commented with a shake of his head at his lazy son standing before him like a statue with his pajamas and bed hair. He walked calmly while still dragging Cale with him, sitting down on the couch. Crossing his legs and arms, Tristan turned to Rok-Soo, who was still standing in his place. “Come sit down.”
Ron looked amused as the older redhead almost jumped from his place to sit down as if he had teleported within seconds.
Rok-Soo sat straight, looking down with his stoic face. ‘Is dad upset with me? Did I make a mistake after all? Was the way I approached Cale wrong? Is dad here to scold me?’ He, however, calmed himself by thinking everything should be all right if he apologized properly, and Tristan would understand and calm down, right?
Cale sat straight and kept looking a little down, feeling a bit betrayed by his dad after he was told to hide in the tower for as long as he wanted, and now he suddenly found himself seated before the very person he had been avoiding for nearly a month. No, it hadn’t even been a month yet!
Ron was amused by the two brothers’ father from their past life sitting on the middle couch and wondering why the two were so tense and scared like they expected to be hit any second now. Ron thought again the Emperor was indeed the two redheads’ father after all.
The old assassin butler closed his eyes and put a cup of tea in front of the Emperor, finding joy in how the glare looked similar to the two brothers’ at times.
Tristan stared at the tea for a moment before picking the cup at last, “Go ahead and talk.”
Everyone around waited in silence. The kids looked between the two redheads. Choi Han, Choi Jung-Soo and Sui Khan stood by the door with Vicross, feeling the tension in the room yet couldn’t help but find the situation a bit humorous. 
“I’m sorry, hyung.”
Finally, the younger redhead broke the silence, sounding small and unlike usual…
Rok-Soo looked at his dongsaeng, who, despite looking regretful, forced himself to look him in the eyes.
“I’m sorry. I really…I really didn’t mean any of the awful things I said that day.”
“…I know.”
Like everyone, Ron had a fond smile as he looked at his Puppy and Kitten Young Masters making up and being themselves again, as simply as that, and the one who made this meeting happen so easily was now casually sipping on lemon tea in the middle.   
“Hmm,” Tristan frowned slightly at the tea before looking up at Ron, “Your tea is disgusting.”
“…pfft,”
The two redheads tried hard to contain their laugh at their dad's abrupt remark.
“Hoo,”
Rok-Soo stopped immediately at the vicious sound from the old butler and quickly straightened his back. Cale coughed quietly and looked at Ron, still struggling to stop himself from laughing, “Ron, Dad is trying to tell you to take everyone outside and give us a moment alone.”  
Ron looked at the Emperor, who raised a daring eyebrow with the cup still in his hand. “Yes, sir.” He closed his eyes with his benign smile, still looking amused as he moved to lead everyone outside and closed the door silently behind his back.
“Now, talk like the good siblings you are.” Tristan took another sip with his eyes closed, making the two redheads slowly calm down and take their time to understand each other.
It took less than half an hour for everything to be cleared up at last.
“Goodness, you two really are still kids, huh?” Tristan sighed between the two, and they looked down, feeling sorry for having dragged their dad into their silly fight when he had his hands full of matters regarding his Empire. “Rok-Soo,”
Rok-Soo slightly flinched, “Yes?”
“Next time you notice Cale acting odd and find it hard to stop him from bathing in reports and work, you can tell me, and I’ll deal with it immediately.”
“…yes, Dad.”
Tristan nodded, still sipping tea, “And Cale,”
Cale hesitantly looked at his dad, “Yes?”
“It’s always better to talk to someone if you feel bothered by something instead of dealing with it alone. Rok-Soo and I are always ready to listen anytime, got it?”
Cale slightly looked down as he felt Rok-Soo’s eyes on him. “…yes, Dad.”
“Good,” Tristan nodded again, sighing next, “But seriously, this tea is gross, yuck.”
“……”
Rok-Soo and Cale looked at their dad, then at each other, holding back their laugh.
‘Right, Dad also hates sour things, especially if they contain lemons…’
They were almost sure Ron gave Tristan the cup, secretly enjoying the grimace the famous intimidating Emperor was doing his best to hide.
Tristan soon returned home and completely forgot to explain to his sons that Madelin went to the Henituse family for a ‘friendly’ talk, but he shrugged and focused on his work anyway.

The Boyz as Love Tropes
I haven’t seen any posts on this so I’m giving my own two cents :) 
Sangyeon
Forbidden Love! with sangyeons work ethic and his constant dedication to his group as a leader, he had no time on his mind for love and a future partner. so when he met you and you clicked almost too well, he was in great conflict with himself. he found himself wanting you more and more as time went on. he thought about you when writing songs, when he was sad all he wanted to do was see you and in his happiest moments he wanted to tell you first.
Jacob
The Boy Next Door! Jacob would be the sweetest new neighbour. he's the type that when he moves in next door he would come over to formally introduce himself. ‘my mom baked these for you, I hope you don't mind’. every now and then you’d keep bumping into each other when checking the post or coming home.
Younghoon
Soulmates! everything would be meant to be for the both of you. when you first met everything was perfect. the chemistry, the energy, your values. when you had to move away for university you were heartbroken, but five years later, you both found one another again, destiny or by chance. 
Hyunjae
Right Person Wrong Time! he was like weight lifted off your shoulders when your would was crumbling down. both of your worlds were. you and Hyunjae were each others safe havens. but you both had different paths to walk and eventually, that perfect world for the both of you had to come to an end as reality hit. 
Juyeon
Childhood Sweethearts! Juyeon had the biggest thing for you when you were both kids. He would give you flowers he picked on the way to school, he would tell his parents you were the one he was going to marry, making them chuckle. the only thing was that as he grew up, that never changed for him. you were still his biggest crush. 
Kevin
Best Friends to Lovers! when you and Kevin first met you both instantly hit it off. you both would laugh until early hours of the morning, texting each other every day. he would comfort you at your worst and bring out your best. he knew you inside out except, he didn’t know your biggest secret. you liked Kevin far more than a friend and turns out, he also felt the same. 
Chanhee
Enemies to Lovers! it would start as chanhee accidentally giving you the wrong look when you first meet, immediately making you uncomfortable. out of his own insecurities that you’ve distanced yourself from him he would then assume you don’t like him and you’d turn into enemies out of a miscommunication. eventually turning into lovers tho 
Changmin
Opposites Attract! When you first met changmin through chanhee you were initially and reasonably quite weirded out by his ‘passionate’ hobbies in comparison to his bubbly personality. you also found chanhee weird for even having such a best friend. but when you got to know him more personally, you found out despite your differences, your humour aligned really well and you actually found his charms super attractive
Haknyeon
Proximity! what was haknyeon supposed to do when he realised he has to isolate with a complete stranger! you were a friend of a friend, but when you went over to his house to collect an item of hyunjaes when you both received the message you have to isolate it was a surprise to say the least. stuck for two weeks within such close proximity you began to learn each others quirks. he loved your cooking! it was the first thing he smelt in the morning and your singing in the shower would be the last thing he heard as he fell asleep
Sunwoo
Second Chance! Sunwoo really didn’t mean to break up with you the first time. he was so busy with the groups activities all the time and he was in an insecure time in his life. he worried day and night that his time spent on the group, any boy would be winning over your heart. he couldn’t give you his time and so he lashed out his insecurities on you, leading to your breakup. it was his biggest regret. in the years you spent apart, all he could do was work on becoming a better version of himself before asking for a second chance.
Eric
Fake Relationship! Eric had had enough of the teasing from the older members. he felt like he had something to prove. so when he came over to your house one evening begging you to fake a relationship with him because you were a good friend of his and he thought your were really pretty (obviously not voicing the latter aloud) how could you not agree? you already had a small crush on him and you agreed in the hopes he would like you back (he already liked you anyway :,))

watching tos for the first time since like, roughly 2012/13-ish? i don't remember what year it was, or why i only got thru most of season 1 before stopping
it's been fun to refresh my swiss cheesed memory with this tho so here's a semi-liveblog of the first 10 eps that i watched over the past couple weeks
1x01 - the man trap
things i remembered beforehand:
salt monster
"plum" uwu
that gay little run and crawl jim does when he's taking cover (it fills me with such delight)
things i did not remember:
how many people died, good god man it's only the first episode
1x02 - charlie x
things i remembered:
jim's bright red exercise pants
that stupid fucking face charlie makes when he uses his powers
not liking this ep at all when i first watched it, possibly due to me being around the same age as charlie at the time
additional thoughts: i enjoyed it more this time and felt more sympathetic for charlie. poor kid needed some parents, and also, like, a hug
1x03 - where no man has gone before
things i remembered:
bones isn't in it :'( (bored) (sad) (missing my bestie)
"James R Kirk"
that post i saw on here recently about how their contacts were made of glass
the only thing i could think about while watching:
their contacts
were made
of GLASS
(yes i understand this was how contacts were made back then. still freaked out by the concept of people putting glass in their eyes on purpose)
1x04 - the naked time
things i remembered:
sweat disease
sulu fencing
oh kathleen
"ONE-MORE-TIME!!"
"love mankind"
spock breakdown (extremely uncomfortable to watch)
bones casually ripping jim's shirt sleeve to jab him in the arm (extremely hilarious every time i think about it)
did not remember:
anything about them almost crashing into a planet lol
jim's little monologue when he gets infected (lmao)
time warp???
additional thoughts: hey remember when they reused this plot in tng and tasha and data fucked (<- literally the only thing i can remember about it) ((edit from future fex: i rewatched that ep. it was wild. tos did it better tho))
1x05 - the enemy within
things i remembered:
unicorn dog :)
evil kirk and poor little meow meow kirk
"I'M CAPTAIN KIRK!!!"
things not remembered:
dog dies :(
evil kirk's killer eyeliner
additional thoughts: say what you will about shatner / his acting but this ep is Peak shatner performance and a lot of fun to watch. he put his whole pussy into it, as the kids say these days
1x06 - mudd's women
things remembered:
could not forget harry mudd if i tried
the women are color coded like the powerpuff girls lol
they're also like, on some kind of drug that keeps them looking young or something
cool costumes tho
i don't have much to say about this one lol, harry's a fun character but the rest of the ep wasn't super interesting to me. did finally learn how to pronounce "ophiuchus" tho so i'll thank it for that
1x07 - what are little girls made of
things remembered:
is this the penis rock episode (it is)
uhhh i think kirk gets put into some kind of spinny machine that makes androids (he does)
more cool costumes (debatable)
things i find funny:
the number of planets we've encountered so far that are populated by like. 2-4 people
the way ruk (the big guy) just picks up and throws kirk like he weighs nothing
so much buildup with kirk and the penis rock and he doesn't even get to hit ruk over the head with it smh
also not a funny moment but i liked the way kirk was able to get a message to spock thru the android kirk, v clever
wait i just realized bones wasn't in this ep either. deducting 1/4 of a star from my mental rating bc i missed him (but apparently not that much)
1x08 - miri
remembered:
planet of children (bc everyone else died of terminal puberty)
"no blah blah blah!"
bones tests his newly discovered, untested cure on himself, in true mad scientist fashion (also spones moment <3)
saw this ep on a "what's your fave 'bad' episode" poll here recently and i can't remember if i thought it was good or bad when i first watched it lol
forgot:
another earth?? there's just a second, identical earth floating around out there?? and (of course) they don't mention it at all for the rest of the episode
300 year old children
oh these kids are so much more annoying than i remembered, however i may just be biased bc i don't like kids shfkshfk
1x09 - dagger of the mind
remember:
absolutely nothing! oh boy!
thoughts:
wow this ep is fucked up!
okay actually i don't think i've seen this one at all before?
usually there'll be moments that jog my memory but the only thing even slightly familiar to me was kirk going "helen don't go!" while in the neutralizer chair, but i could've just seen a clip/gif of it before
i remember skipping episodes in season 1 (i was impatient and wanted to get to city on the edge of forever) but i thought i'd at least made it to halfway thru the season before skipping any
anyway did i mention this ep is fucked up? (star trek really does love to drop an absolutely haunting 50 minutes of television on you and then never address it again, i understand this now. roll credits!)
1x10 - the corbomite maneuver
remember:
uhh
there's a thing out there
it's in the way
preventing them from boldly going, even
looks like an old windows screensaver
i might've skipped this ep too now that i think about it
thoughts:
cute mckirk moment in sickbay :3
i love that this cube has its own theme music whenever its on screen
oh shit it's the sequel to cube: orb
jesus christ that's a big orb
man they really said "okay we've got 3 music tracks and we're gonna get our money's worth out of them"
i gotta say this ep slaps tbh—WAIT HE'S A BABY???
LITTLE BABY MAN
LMAOOOOO
honestly great episode tho i'll stand by that

Vintage Reeboks - Chapter 3: World Wide Web
Eddie Munson x Reader More Eddie fics here
3351 word count
Warnings: Mentions of being queer in the 80s; mentions of canon-typical violence; mentions of weed; mention of sex
Synopsis: The gate at the bottom of Lover’s Lake was meant to spit the quartet out in the Upside Down. Steve, Nancy, and Robin were meant to be there. He wasn’t meant to be alone. But when Eddie comes to on the shoreline, you’re there. It’s not the Upside Down. It’s not Lover’s Lake. It’s not 1986.
Previous Chapters: 1 - Lover’s Lake; 2 – Hey, Siri
Chapter Synopsis: Two questions. First question: is Eddie cool now? Second question: where are they now?
Author’s Note: Huge thanks and credit to a few Anons on Tumblr and the following AO3 friends for the support and inspo: Icabod Jones, June, Anonymous_bird_206, Mere, goudaconnoisseur, MagnetGirl11511, Breadedegg, wyldwoodnymph.
Tumblr media
By the time you and Eddie had fallen asleep, it was a little after three in the morning. Naturally then, you both slept late.
There was no work to rush off to when you woke. It annoyed you about yourself, that you’d only let the breakdowns happen when it was convenient. You’d only stay up late, mourning or anxious, when your calendar said you had space to do so.
Sometimes you thought it meant you were faking, but if that were the case – to what end? There was never an audience to your sadness.
As you rubbed the sleep from your eyes, you looked over at Eddie. He was still in a deep state of sleep, which you were grateful for.
Pulling your laptop onto your lap, you started to read through all the articles you could find about Hawkins in the 80s, and about Eddie. It was a rabbit hole. Everybody had a theory about what happened to the murdered teens and to Eddie. Even before ’86 there were deaths, though. The extent of the suffering seemed almost immeasurable.
It made sense that Hawkins had wanted to move on from the grief and trauma, but you found some indignation bubbling inside you at how easily it was all covered up and forgotten.
Putting righteousness aside, you started a list in Sticky Notes of actions to get Eddie home.
Talk to mum and uncle g.
Find old friends?
Find another ‘gate’ (what is a gate tho?)
Captain America video?????
An hour or so later, Eddie groaned and rolled over, pulling the blanket up over his head.
“Hey,” you greeted, throwing a pillow at him.
Slowly, he emerged, sitting up and looking around. You imagined it was how he looked when he woke from a bad trip.
“Yeah,” you started again, “You’re still here.”
Eddie smiled, more of a grimace really. “Got any leads?” he asked, noticing the laptop in front of you.
Leaning back against the headboard of your bed, you shrugged.
“No leads, but some ideas. I’ve got something for you to watch too. Come here.”
Eddie followed your instructions, leaving the warmth of his sofa bed. He was polite, sitting on top of the quilt.
“Here,” you ordered, opening up the blanket to let him climb in. “So, there’s this super famous comic book movie. Hero ends up in the future but he’s from the 40s. Fans like to make videos of like, all the stuff he missed. Pretend it’s what they’d show him if they could. I found a good one. You’ll know the 40s to 80s stuff, but the second half will be useful for you,” you explained, almost getting stuck on how unbelievable what you’d said was.
“Captain America,” Eddie said.
“You know him?”
“Not my thing, but yeah…” he replied, voice trailing off as you handed him the laptop.
As Eddie watched the YouTube video, created by user stucky_mothman, you looked through drawers for your old phone. When you upgraded, you could have saved money by trading in or selling, but you’d never got over the fear that someone would somehow hack your entire life through the thing.
“Gotcha!” you said to yourself, finding the scratched-up thing in the same drawer as about three HDMI cables, five old tangled headphones, and unlimited cotton tips. There was more junk in there, but you squashed it all down to close the drawer.
The phone still worked, and when connected to your WiFi, could be used to access apps. Apps like UberEats.
“You hungry?” you asked Eddie.
“There’s still food? No pills to replace all your nutritional needs?” he replied, not looking away from the screen.
“I mean… There kind of is. But some of us still like the real deal. If McDonald's can be counted as real,”
“McDonald's?” Eddie asked. “I know McDonald's,”
“You and the rest of the world. We can order from the breakfast menu if we’re quick.”
He glanced over at you; his eyebrows knitted together. “You want to go out to McDonald's? What happened to laying low?”
“No, no, the food comes to us,” you explained, holding your old phone up and shaking it. “I order it. It arrives here. Magic.”
Two serves of hotcakes, hashbrowns, and egg McMuffins later, you both felt a lot better. Eddie downed his black coffee faster than what should be legal. You sipped at your chai latte, ignoring his judgmental expressions.
“I think you should tell me everything. Start to finish,” you eventually tried, watching him learn to Google and then go on a mad Wikipedia spiral. He didn’t reply. “It all sounds… fucked up… to say the least. I get that. But… I’m kind of out on a limb here, so a little context might be helpful.”
Eddie was right; the story he told sounded too fantastical to be reality. However, yet again you found yourself firmly in the belief camp, taking note of anything in his account that felt like some sort of clue to how to return him home.
“I’ve got two ideas,” you said when his story brought him to sitting on your bed.
“Dustin?” Eddie ventured.
“Yeah. I know you said he’s a butthead, but he also sounds like a child genius. We find him, we find the others, we find your way home.”
Eddie rolled off the bed in almost a perfect backward somersault. He began to pace, nodding, holding his face in his hands.
“Yeah. Yeah. This makes sense. Henderson is a know-it-all, but ya know, he does know it all. He’ll know what to do. And he’s gotta be like, an adult now, right? Maybe he’s less… of a butthead,”
“He was a freshman, right? That makes him…” You did the math in your head. “Fifty,”
“Fifty?!” Eddie repeated, his voice rising a couple octaves. “Jesus… So, he might be dead.”
You laughed. “Bleak. Fifty isn’t that old,”
“But like, there’s so much shit that’s happened since then. If there was any more monsters of the week, you’ve got to bet the kid was there. And not to state the obvious but there’s been so much… bad…”
Maybe letting Eddie catch up on history wasn’t the best idea. The good ol’ U. S. of A. had definitely seen its fair share of bloodshed and discordance since 1986. And, with Dustin’s resume, it didn’t seem likely that he would become risk adverse as he grew older.
“I’m gonna say it again. We should ask mum,”
Eddie stopped pacing, stood with his hands on his hips and sighed. Dramatic. “What’s her name?”
You told him, described her and the limited information you had about her childhood and adolescence.
Eddie shrugged. “Don’t think I know her. Sounds like most of the girls that go to Hawkins’,” he said.
It was true. Your mother only really blossomed once she was away from the town. It was your father that helped her to open up and learn to just be a person. She’d never told you why Hawkins had seemingly sucked the soul from her, but given the new information, you’d formed a pretty solid idea.
 And, your uncle was an absolute vault.
The one time you tried to ask him about what it was like, your mother pulled you aside, telling you to never try the conversation again. In hindsight, and the benefit of hearing Eddie’s story, you could see why. Maybe he was one of the barely-lucky bystanders to all the doom and gloom. Scarred him for life. Maybe he was friends with Chrissy or Fred or Patrick.
You knew your uncle had come out much later in life, in his late 30s or early 40s maybe. Being a closeted queer kid in a town like Hawkins must have been hard enough, then add the fuckary of the supernatural to the mix. You didn’t begrudge him for not talking about any of it.
“What was your second idea?” Eddie asked.
“Find a gate,”
“How?”
“No idea. We could check the lake again?” you suggested.
“That godforsaken lake,” he mumbled, back to pacing.
Eddie lost himself in thought easily, you observed. If you were to swap places, you’d probably have a lot to ponder too. He was a spitfire of a person, but his anxiety tempered his nature.
You could tell by the way he spoke of Dustin and the others that he had a deep fondness for them. Separated less than twenty-four hours, there was pining. You wondered how they had handled his disappearance.
“Alright. Let’s find him,” you announced, returning to your laptop.
It didn’t take long.
Dustin had been right there for the explosion of the world wide web. He’d been to every corner of it, the good, the bad, the ugly. And, much to your current advantage, he blogged his way through the 90s and 00s. There wasn’t a lot of new content, but he still updated his audience (which seemed to be somewhat prolific) every now and then.
“We can send him a message. Get him to Zoom or Skype us or something,”
“Zoom… or Skype?”
After much deliberation, it was decided the message to Dustin would be simple. Short. An invitation more than anything else.
Henderson – The Shire is still burning. I’m trapped in Mordor. S.O.S. – Eddie the Banished.
“He’ll understand it?”
“He’ll get it,” Eddie assured you. “He’ll get it.”
You’d left Eddie alone in the pool house while you drove back to Lake Hopewell. There were some people out and about, but it was mostly quiet down by the water. In more appropriate swimwear than your last visit, you waded in, waterproof torch in hand, and spent the better part of an hour searching for anything that vaguely matched Eddie’s description of a gate.
He’d never really been alone in a girl’s bedroom before. Woman, Eddie corrected himself. You’d graduated high school, bettering him with apparent ease. You were smart.
You were also kind.
And pretty.
And smelt like clean.
Eddie smacked his own face. It wasn’t the fucking time to get a crush. He was going to be out of there as soon as he could.
Still, he curled up in your bed, curating himself Spotify playlists he’d probably never get time to listen to. He was comfortable, and if it wasn’t for the time travel bullshit, he would have been happy too.
All he needed was a little dope and he would be more than fine.
Then,
ONE (1) NEW EMAIL: ZOOM: Eddie?!
The bottom of the lake revealed only the pollution of a small town and some vaguely suspicious bones. It was a dead end and you felt nervous to deliver the news to Eddie.
You wondered what he was doing in your absence. Would he go through all your stuff? Sleep through the silence?
An intrusive thought flung itself into your frontal lobe. Did he Google porn yet? Eddie wouldn’t know about browsing history. You could revisit every click, if you wanted to. Shaking your head, you tried not to think of sex. Or Eddie. Or sex and Eddie.
The drive home felt longer than it ever had before.
Eddie had wrapped himself in a blanket and it looked like a furry cape. He was staring at the screen, his hands in front of him, fingertips to fingertips. As soon as you walked through the door, he was up.
With the laptop set upon the bar, you took a seat on one of the stools and nodded at Eddie. He couldn’t sit still, so he stood next to you, leaning against the bar, but remaining close enough to you that you could feel him vibrating on the spot.
“You okay? You ready?” you asked him.
He looked at you. His eyes sparkled with hope and it melted your heart just a little. You weren’t ready to see him crumble, if it was going to come to that.
Eddie nodded, then held out a hand. You took it, letting him thread his fingers through yours.
Dustin Henderson - fifty-one-years old, head full of curly hair, a warm smile – began to cry. You could see he had tried to stop himself, but he saw Eddie. Eddie from 1986. His friend. Innocent Eddie Munson. He couldn’t help it.
His wife, Suzie, came to offer emotional support.
“How…” Dustin tried, but was at a loss for words. Something Eddie reminded him he hardly ever was.
“I followed them down, man. Saw Wheeler and Buckley go straight through. My turn and it just spat out here,” Eddie explained.
You sat quietly while Dustin and Eddie talked, updated, and theorised. Essentially, they spoke in a language you did not understand. There was no grand reveal of a solution though.
“Let me… Let me assemble the Avengers and we’ll figure it out, okay?” Dustin said, already looking tired.
“Yeah, yeah, man. Okay,”
“We got you, Eddie. No man gets left behind.”
After the call, you let Eddie process. He crawled back into your bed, taking the laptop with him. He had moved on from Spotify to IMDb. He’d opened dozens of Chrome windows, each one showing the page of a movie he wanted to watch. You were going to show him how to make a watchlist, or at least how to open new tabs instead of windows, but decided to leave him be. He was settled.
In the kitchenette, you made cheese toasties, bringing a plate over to Eddie. He barely came out of the blanket cocoon to nibble at it like a mouse.
“You’re…” you started. Eddie glanced up at you. Those goddamn big brown eyes twinkling at you. “How could anyway think you’re dangerous?”
You liked the way he smiled up at you. Shrugging, he took another bite.
“This is good,”
“Secret ingredient is paprika,” you told him.
“Paprika!” Eddie repeated, in a spot-on impression of Yoda.
Suddenly, everything dropped away. Your search for momentary oblivion. The time traveler. Any other problems in your head. All of it. Insignificant.
Eddie had asked about Star Wars. He quoted Yoda. But he didn’t know about…
“Move,” you said, pushing Eddie over in the bed, almost sending his toastie flying. “I have to show you something.”
Star Wars-wise, you probably wouldn’t have jumped straight to The Mandalorian when introducing Eddie to new content, but the audible gasp when he saw Grogu for the first time was worth it.
“Baby Yoda…” Eddie marveled. You watched him, watched the gooey expression of pure love form across his face.
Ludwig Göransson’s score played as Eddie’s gaze turned to you, where you had been wrapped in the blanket cocoon, like you’d not met Eddie only the day prior.
“You’ve changed my life,” he whispered, his nose scrunching up in happiness.
“Yeah… He made a big impact. He was probably the most famous face in the world for a while there,”
“No way. Star Wars is cool?”
“Star Wars is very cool now… Actually, I reckon they’d be a lot of things that are cool that weren’t in the 80s or even 90s,” you said, thinking of all the things that had found their way to the height of popularity, while previously resulting in casual school bullying.
Eddie sat up, a serious expression on his face. “You’re telling me, I might be cool now?” He said it like it was the worst thing he could be.
“Probably. You’re very… aesthetic,” you told him, gesturing vaguely at him. “And, like, Dungeons and Dragons, right, that’s like… not super mainstream, but is pretty popular. There’s a T. V. show based on a game of it these people on the internet played,”
“Campaign,” Eddie corrected.
You laughed at his seriousness. “Okay. Well, there’s that. There’s the Lord of the Rings show that’s com-”
“LORD OF THE RINGS?”
“Henderson, why didn’t you tell me about Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings?” Eddie demanded as soon as Dustin’s face appeared on the laptop screen.
Dustin had called back only a few hours after their first Zoom meeting.
Laughing, Dustin replied, “Yeah, my kid took my first editions for show and tell and was the coolest kid in class for a while,”
“Your kid?!” Eddie squeaked. It absolutely freaked him out that his freshmen friends were all grown up with children of their own.
Dustin nodded, then started roll call.
Lucas Sinclair and his family lived not too far from Dustin.
Max Mayfield started off by sending irregular postcards from wherever in the world she was. Eventually, those turned to emails. Then Instagram stories for Close Friends only.  
Robin Buckley moved to San Francisco with Steve Harrington after graduating. They’d both found love, found families, and saw each other often. Dustin’s kids and Steve’s online gamed together.
“They’re all closer to me than Hawkins, except Max. We’ll meet here and come up with a plan, then come to you,” Dustin said.
“What about the others? Where’s Wheeler?” Eddie asked.
Dustin hesitated.
They’d lost friends along the way.
After Eddie vanished through the gate, and they’d barely held on to Max, the group called in the California crew, who were already doing their best to help. They’d all met back up in Hawkins, sorely unprepared to take on Vecna.
“Mike… He… We couldn’t save him. Then El just… It wasn’t meant to go down the way it did, man. There was no stopping her.”
Eleven, the girl with superpowers, had stopped Vecna from killing again. She slayed the evil and stopped it from returning to Hawkins ever again. She’d died in the process, so fraught with grief and rage that she left no way back for herself.
After that, families left Hawkins.
Nancy Wheeler was out of there by ’87. She was a journalist in New York with hardly any connections to her childhood town or the people in it. Dustin said the pain almost swallowed her whole. He was still trying to get a hold of her.
Will and Jonathan Byers left in the same year, and they’d not stayed in touch. Dustin went quiet then. None of it was easy to say.
“Will… He died in… would have been ’01 or ’02. Haven’t talked to his brother since then.”
Eddie was attentive, nodding. Whatever happened back then, you thought, it had clearly fucked all these kids up for life. It was a miracle there were any of them left, all those years later.
“Dustin, listen,” Eddie began. Before he was spat out in 2022, Eddie had only known about the monsters for a couple of days. He’d only had those couple days of nightmares and worry. Yet, he had felt like he was on the verge of total breakdown. “Don’t… I don’t know, man. I don’t want to drag you all back into this bullshit. I can figure it out on my own,”
“Eddie, no man gets left behind. I told you that… We don’t need you or Steve to look after us anymore. Besides, it’s not like the Mind Flayer is after you. It’s just time travel, right?”
Eddie snorted. “Only Dustin Henderson could say ‘just’ time travel,”
“Sorry to interrupt,” you said from the bar stool next to Eddie. “But the fucking Mind what now?”
“How you doing with all this?” Dustin directed at you. “If I remember right, Eddie took it surprisingly well when he found out about everything,”
“I mean…” You shrugged. “I’m alright. Biggest risk is that I took home a serial killer,”
“I would kill my kids myself if they did what you did,” Dustin said.
“Are you joking, man?!” Eddie yelled. “Do your kids know what you got up to when you were fifteen?”
Eddie and Dustin talked a little more, trying to not leave the conversation in the depths of sadness. Whatever bond they’d had in 1986 seemed to be still alive. Even as an adult, Dustin had a childlike sense of wonder and he wore his heart on his sleeve. No matter what the consequences, he wasn’t going to leave Eddie stuck.
It was time to start a new campaign, and he had all the players on their way back to Hawkins.
End Note: Grogu. Grogu. Grogu. The Star Wars was pretty self-serving on my part, so forgive me. Also forgive me if I’ve killed off your fav, but there’s no way they all made it out of Hawkins. Those that did… they’d always be missing something. That shit was fucked.

Man, Reader after Bonbon's ability and turning them into a teen sounds like a super interesting idea.
I imagine reader would be pretty much the same but taller, edgier and has quite a temper (duo to puberty, those suck asf)
Tho, what if they turned into a full adult?
nsert me drawing reader in their adult years
- They would be THE SAME like, even without the appearance of an adult, they're pretty much already an adult in terms of knowledge, experience, etc... and their years of suffering. They're a geezer :(
- I like to think that they would be alot taller than almost everyone in the strawhats, the wise look on their face (majestic as hell, hell yes), longer hair and they still have the same spark and bright star in their eyes (with eye bags below)
- I want to see everyone's reaction oml. Since they're used to see reader being a small, old, silly little star, who plays their ukulele occasionally, having the height of a damn tree
- some would be like "Cool, you look wiser and taller now" and some would outright go "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, WHAT DID YOU DO TO (READER)!?!?!?!?1?1!1?1!11!?3?2!1!2?1!"
BONUS :
- Shanks used to be happy that reader is smaller than him (secretly or not, he prob teased them alot abt it) he can easily pick them up like a small teddy bear. and now... Seeing reader being taller than him? Damn... He would still carry them tho
- For Buggy, he does not care, he is still bigger, taller, because his "body" is now this big freaking blanket or smth, so even if reader is taller, he would just stretch his body or smth-
- Luffy and Zoro would see them as a STRANGER, imagine just chilling then this person, wearing the same clothes as their nakama (and adopted sibling), looking wiser and mature just go "Yo guys, wanna hear my new song" holding a ukulele. The same reaction just like when Monosuke became adult basically but Luffy would go "THATS SO COOL YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT"
Everyone’s reactions would be pretty funny ngl
I think one interesting thing tho for y/n as an adult would be that their very weathered looking if that makes sense.
Their still a young adult but they have a lot of scars, ones that shine like gold and their face has an almost always tired look to it. Soft rounded features are sharpened, Their exhausted and there isn’t the youthful energy compared to their kid form.
They now better feel the ache and wear in their joints, their hands are tough and leathery compared to the softness of being a child and their eyes if you look long enough you can see the night sky.
Another thing as well is that their thin, looks like them essentially starving themselves for long periods of time and having the bare minimum would have an impact on their future (if would actually age). Sanji is meanwhile freaking out and forcing them to sit down as he makes them something.
What was once something they were all interested in seeing made the sad reality of y/n kinda hit them. The only time they’ll ever experience being an adult is paired with the pain and suffering of their long long existence.

I just wanna get this off my chest… i feel so lonely and disconnected from other non-binary people (and trans folks in general tbh) recently, but not for the reasons you might expect?
bcuz for me being non-binary is freeing. it means being comfortable with who i am and not needing to prove it to people, it means dressing and acting like i want without worrying, and embracing the parts of our endless shared cultural history that feel “right” to me.
and don’t get me wrong; im not rly a super happy person. i’ve spent over a decade struggling with depression and its been really rough at times. but being non-binary has never caused that? instead its been a refuge, a reminder that I know who i am and am comfortable with that and can continue to discover new, happy things about myself.
but the thing that’s frustrating and makes me feel lonely, is that no matter where i go I can’t seem to find a non-binary space where people feel the way I do. its just endless person after person struggling with dysphoria, people who worry they aren’t non-binary enough bcuz of the way they look, people who are filled with dread and anxiety because the world is this hostile angry place to them.
when i see that part of me wants to help them, to grab them by the shoulders and shake them and cry and scream that it doesn’t have to be like that, that they have it all wrong and that this is a happy thing and that it can help them feel safe and peaceful and make their world a better place! they don’t have to feel validated or invalidated by other people, the rest of the world doesn’t have to acknowledge them because they are who they are, and the very nature of existence protects that.
but the rest of me is just tired bcuz i’ve tried. i’ve tried to be a source of positivity and happiness - but most of the time my words don’t reach people and they just get upset.
they probably feel im invalidating them and their feelings, and that means i probably am, and that just makes me feel worse.
and even when someone does hear me, it never feels like they really believe me or get it. it just feels like im performing mental health triage on an endless tide of broken hearts and empty spirits. and its exhausting.
that’s what makes it so lonely. i feel like im trapped in all this bitterness and despair and just want to find a place with people who feel the same way i do. other people who find being non-binary a joyful, comforting thing, who love to play with gender in their fashion and have fun with their voices, who revel in the fundamental humanity of what we are and have seen the light and joy the future can hold, even if its sometimes hidden behind clouds! people who hear me say things and go “omgg same tho!!!” and then share their own stories, and I can see myself in their stories too and feel that special spark you get when someone else understands a thing that is very deeply important and connected to who I am!
only i can’t seem to find any place like that. and i have precious, wonderful friends who listen to me and can empathize, but they don’t quite get it. either they aren’t non-binary or their experience with their gender is different enough from mine that a gap is left that i can never quite cross.
so that joyful special part of me that i want to share just kinda. sits there. and tries to keep being positive and happy despite the fact that they feel like they’re unwanted and useless and incomprehensible to binary and non-binary genders both.
it sounds really sad when I put it like that, huh?

Please Please Me: A 16yo's (horrible) album review
Tumblr media
I Saw Her Standing There 🧍: She was just 17 apparently! Honestly I reallyyyy like the song !! She's electric and vibrant. Uber catchy and is kinda adorbs ! I'm not 17 but I shall imagine that this song captures what it's like to be 17 in some way, shape, or form ( hopefully, maybe not idk ).
Misery 💧: uh, babe it's giving break up !!! If I made a song like this all I'd hear is "God stop wallowing in self pity and get yourself back up there !!" But sometimes people need a little time to rot in their feels and I think this song is great for that !!! It's not super catchy but overall I didn't hate it. Music doesn't need to be catchy to be good >:3
Anna (Go To Him) 💍: I LOVE ITTTTTT. Man, Anna's a meanie girl ! What she did was dirttyyyyyy 😭😭 but good on the guy for letting her go and be happy even tho he couldn't be,,,, it was so sweet !! Uh anyway yeah this song is so good. I love how longing and sad it sounds. It's like if Misery and I Saw Her Standing There had a baby. It totally fits the 60's I can see it playing at a dinner or something !! Also, Anna girl, give that ring back !! 😭
Chains ⛓️: Honestly I can see myself liking this song in the future (two or three weeks from now) and it's honestly a really unique take on love that I really like. His girl's got him chained down with the chains of love !!! Not in an oppressive and controlling way but she's got him locked in !!! He loves her so much, they're connected 😣
Boys 🤷: Erm. Gay Anthem?? Don't know what to think about this one I really don't know 😭😭 talks about 'em all the time I guess??
Ask Me Why ❓: It's so cute !! I can also see this one being played at an old diner. The do-wop sound is like, addictive and supperrrr catchy. Really like this song. Kinda reminds me of A World Without Love by Peter and Gordon !!
Please Please Me 🫵: Honestly kinda forgot about her ?? After the first listen it was like I just had a fever dream. But also that might have been because I was in the car with my parents talking and I could hear them through my headphones so idk you tell me :/ but now that I've relistened to the album while writing the reviews I love this one!
Love Me Do ❤️: Don't really jive with this one :/ it's not a bad sing but it just wasn't my cup of tea !! I feel bad saying that 'cause I don't wanna be the typical teen that "only listens to catchy, simple songs" but this one just wasn't there for me the way Please Please Me and Anna were 😭😭
P.S. I Love You 💌: ITS SO CUTTTEEEEE !!!!! Was this song a precursor to All My Loving like, directly ??? If it wasn't I probably look stupid saying that but whatevs. This song is like, old and faded is a really lovely way like,,, who writes letters anymore, it's so romantic!!! The simple guitar is like, really bleeding through to me for some reason idk good job George !!!
Baby It's You 💕: 60s came through with this one. She is PUNGENT. It's giving Runaround Sue !! This one just feels like a classic.
Do You Want To Know A Secret 🫠: Elementary school yard ramped up!!! I can almost hear the children playing and yelling in the background it's so cutesy. Overall a pretty good track. Wouldn't mind hearing it again !!
A Taste of Honey 🍯: Reminds me of a song i'd hear in Rango.. hmm. I don't like this song as much as I feel I should?? Didn't quite give with me, it's just another track I guess (idk this review felt mean 😭😭)
There's a Place 🏩: Its like an amalgamation of all of the songs in the album. I'm hearing baby it's you, please please me, and literally everything else idk it's so strange
Twist and Shout 🌀: This song is iconic. There's nothing I cans at that will add or take anything away. Might be a bit overrated idk it's just me . But it's uber high energy and I like it !!
More Reviews Later, Next Up: With The Beatles ..
