How would the gang react to Travis being body shamed because I feel he would probably be under weight because of his father and the abuse he was put through

Travis being underweight or overweight depending on the breakthroughs in his therapy and the trust he’s built with the gang. Underweight when they’re close but still prying into his heart and mind. One of the more sensible and accepting times. Overweight/underweight when he’s fluctuating in EDs due to stress and coping. He’s much more emotional and the outburst is 50/50 death by Travis/death by gang.

They would literally have to hold back Philip tbh.

Like Larry would pissed. FUMING EVEN but holy shit, Philip would straight up almost murder whoever said anything about it.

It would probably be some snide remark in passing while Travis is happily looking at food to order with the gang. Someone noticing he’s either a little chonkier now or still underweight and giggling about it with their friends. The gang almost ignores it until they see Travis deflate and look at the healthier menu items and Philip grabs the fucking butter knife from the table and almost leaps over at the bastards that opened their mouth.

Larry, with the speed of a god and Philips anger management buddy, grabs the belt loop of the back of his pants in the nick of time to stop him from committing murder. Travis panics and hurries over to try and get Philip back to the table while the assholes that spoke are pissing themselves. Not too far behind Larry is Sal with a spoon and a gleaming red light in his electric blue eyes.

Philip 100% got in fights about it at school. Probably one of the main reasons he and Larry fought. Larry wouldn’t know and would just think Travis is following some fad diet to be the goody two shoes for his daddy and Philip would throw a table at him. The brute strength Philip has when enraged is jaw dropping. Travis is used to it honestly. He gets it from home and he isn’t surprised when the people he antagonizes try to antagonize him the same way.

I like the idea that Travis is actually very docile and mild mannered but puts on this act so his dad doesn’t hurt him for people who speak to him. Like if he could be in a better environment he wouldn’t even talk to anyone other than Philip. Hide in sweaters and not be perceived at all. (Highly doubted because my Travis is a cute baby and deserves to be coddled and therapy)

Sal doesn’t talk about Travis’ physical attributes. He just stares which unnerves Philip but when you have a pretty bestie with an attitude you come to accept the stares of the sheep that flock him! When they finally bond though, Sal explains he was staring to make sure Travis wasn’t showing signs of an eating disorder and picked up on the most common two.

Chug would be another like outwardly aggressive person in the gang when someone talks about Travis’ weight. After they talked out the past and Travis profusely apologized he took quite the liking to Travis. He is also one of the reasons Travis gained some weight, lmao. So seeing he’s friend get the same treatment he had, knowing the initial upset and hurt, angers him. Let’s be honest. With his size Chug is pretty intimidating. If he exercises and does weight training he would be a sleeping giant of the gang.

Ash doesn’t give a single fuck. You body shame she body shames back. God knows she holds in her anger around Travis since he shuts down easily. the moment someone pisses her off by shooting for his insecurities after they worked tirelessly to get him to open up? Pray she throws a punch. If she even sniffs out your weakness she will bully you.

Let alone if a kid tries to be funny. Only three people in the gang are nice to random children. Sal, maple and Neil. Chug tolérâtes the lil bastards but they aren’t his so he don’t care. Larry would punt a kid and laugh. Ash would bully them. Point blank just drag them, pray they don’t have social media up and she sees something they shouldn’t be on. The menacing ass grin on her face.

To be fair though. That’s if Travis doesn’t laugh in their face and ask what a bitchless loser is doing in his business. He’s still mean and bitter. Don’t test him post therapy. Get him on a day of breakthrough and he might cry. Get him on a day if acknowledgement and him bullying you is the least of your problems. Him and Philip have an instant murder button.

LGBTQ+ Percy Jackson Headcannons

Hello everyone, I hope everyone’s day is going good. I wanted to do these headcannons for so long and I was waiting for Pride Month but fuck it, I want to do them. Love is Love and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise because your valid and amzing the way you are! Spoilers for TOA, Jason’s not dead!

- Percy Jackson is bisexual

- He’s less of a leader of the camp and more like the big brother. Most campers go to him to come out because he’s such a supportive person and such a great listener.

- If that camper has a crush on another camper and Percy knows that other camper likes them back, Percy along with the help of Piper get them togther.

- Bisexual Piper (or Pan)

- The Aphrodite Cabin help curious or confused campers figure out there sexuality or gender. They know pretty much know all sexuality’s and genders and help.

- If there’s a camper who dose not identify what there assigned gender at birth is, the Aphrodite cabin helps them feel more masculine, feminine, both or neither. They will give them clothes that they like because they have the biggest closet in Camp. They give makeup and tips, if someone wants to cut there hair, they will cut it. They just like to make people feel beautiful, handsome, or both.

- If there’s an asexual or aromatic Aphordite kid who thinks something is wrong with them, there siblings tell them that there vaild and loves them so much.

- Aphrodite is so supportive of her kids. She wants them to love whoever they want and even if they don’t, she’s still happy for them. Sometimes if one of her kids have homophobic mortal parents, she will go talk to that child and tell them that love is love and that there vaild for liking who the like.

- Aphrodite cabin team up with the Athena cabin to teach the camp about the different sexuality and genders. The Athena Cabin more specially teaches the history.

-Pansexual Annabeth

- Athena Cabin teaches and educated people on every aspect of the LGBTQ community. If someone is uneducated, they teach them. They teach the Camp about the history and how it’s important.

- They will have literal charts, graphs and even discussions and debates if a character in there favorite book is LGBT or not.

- Malcome Pace is gay.

He’s dating Conner Stroll and they didn’t really tell anyone because they lowkey forgot. Everyone just thought there were best friends. One night at the campfire, Conner comes to sit with Malcome because at this point, no one follows the rule. He kisses him on the the cheek and the Apollo kids stop singing. The whole Camp is in shock, and they both reliazed what happened.

- The Athena Cabin and Hermes Cabin were asking them so many questions like “When did you get togther”, “How did you get togther”, or “Why didn’t you tell us”. The Aphrodite cabin was just squealing because they shipped them for so long. Everyone was asking questions. Mr.D was like “Ha, called it”, Malcome and Conner both said that “They just assumed everyone knew”, like did the camp see how close they were?

- Travis is so happy for his little brother, and supported them so much. Katie Gardener is happy for Conner because even though they get on each other’s nerves, Conner deserves someone who loves him as much as Travis loves her. Annabeth is so happy for her little brother. She asked “When did you two get togther?” They both replied with “8 months ago”. The entire Camp gose nuts of that fact that Malcome Pace and Conner Stroll got togther eight months ago without anyone knowing.

- In Olympus, Hermes keeps gloating to Athena that one of his kids is with hers.

- Back at Camp, the counselors are ready to do the normal Camp tradition when a new couple gets togther. Conner and Malcome know what’s coming, the Aries kids pick them up and dump them into the lake. It’s a tradition that started with Percebth.

- Conner’s gay

- The Aries Cabin are a little weary of the community but after one of there siblings come out, they become so protective of them.

- Pansexual Will

- During Pride Month, every single day during the Campfire, the Apollo cabin sing LGBTQ anthems.

- They put on LGBT movies during Pride Month for movie night. Conner and Travis tried to sneak in R rated movies but got caught.

- Apollo being so bi as fuck when he’s at camp and encourages campers to come out.

- In fact all the Gods not caring what gender or sexuality there kid is and supports them. After all, the Greeks were never straight

- Hazel and Calypso being so confused about the community because they weren’t around when the terms were made. Annabeth and Piper help educate them on the community

- Hazel finding a term that identity’s with her because even though she loved Sammy and loves Frank but there were a few girls back home that she liked. She’s happy that it isn’t unnatural.

- Pansexual Hazel

- Frank being so supportive and happy that she found out a part of her.

- Bisexual Leo

- Also Trans Leo (FTM)

- Leo being trans and insecure about his identity because of some transphobic foster homes. Piper and Jason being the first people to know and slowly felt more comfortable it’s telling people.

- Leo’s terrified to tell Calypso because he’s scared she will leave him. He puts off for a long time and Calypso knows something’s up. After much encouragement from his friends, he finally decided to tell Calypso. He asks her on a date in Bunker Nine.

- It was a very enjoyable date and they had a great time. Leo was stalling and Calypso knew but didn’t push him. He finally spit it out and was braced for Calypso to be disgusted and leave him but instead she was confused. Calypso never really grasped the term and just asked questions. Leo was shocked at her reaction and explains to her and she understood a lot more and was fine with it.

- Leo was shocked and rambled on about how he dosen’t meet her expectation of a “cis guy” and Calypso cuts him off with a hug and tells him she loves him no matter what. Leo was on the brink of tears and they just stayed there for a while.

- A couple days later, Calypso made Leo a homemade binder using the same material that she used when she makes him fireproof clothes. Leo was very happy. (I can do more of Trans Leo if anyone wants any)

- The Hunt obviously accepts trans girls because trans girls are girls!

- Artemis also hunts transphobes for fun with the help of Reyna and Thaila.

- Meg curses out anyone who is homophobic or transphobic.

- Mr.D threatening to turn someone into a dolphin if he hears someone say something homophobic or transphobic. Chrion giving that person cleaning duties for a month after dinner.

- Rachel blasting out Girl In Red in her cave.

- Percy, Leo, and Piper blastes our Sweather Weather at 3am, in the Posiden Cabin, singing it in the top of there lungs

- There’s a support group in Camp Jupiter for the LGBTQ+ community and Hazel obviously joins. The group gladly accepts there praetor.

- The Demeter Cabin makes rainbow flower crowns during Pride Month.

- Sally Jackson makes rainbow cookies for Pride.

- The Hephuetus Cabin teams up with the Aphrodite cabin to make rainbow jewelry.

- During Pride Month, the Iris Cabin decorated the entire camp in rainbows, they had a whole celebration all month. Things like Pride songs every night or movies, accessories and flags and even a parade.

- Jason being the whitest, straightest, cisest, male out there and supporting all his friends no matter what. He takes them to Pride, donates to charitys and organizations for LGBTQ+ teams or adults. Jason educates himself and will be there every step of the way. Calypso and Frank also being huge supporters!

- Nico being so happy that things have changed and he’s finally in an environment where he is accepted and loved. Will loves seeing his boyfriend smile.

- At the end of the month, the Hephuetus Cabin puts out a rainbow firework show, showing how everyone is accepted no matter what.

I can make a Part two if any wants

Once More Unto the Bre-er, Black, I Guess:

Quick Thoughts on that Pacific Rim Anime

Having given into my curiosity, I have decided to start watching Pacific Rim: The Black.

While, I am still skeptical of the significantly darker tone and how much farther they’ll take it before it becomes unwatchable, I am pleasantly surprised that that’s not all there is to it. The series is going to some bleak places, make no mistake, and this will no doubt turn off those who want lighter and more uplifting fare from their Pacific Rim content. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the series has a good dose of heart and wit—with colour to boot! So far the series feels like an enjoyable blend of the pathos and heart of the first movie, with the escalated stakes and saturated colour and sense of humour of the sequel.

In a way it feels like a welcome change of pace and a course correction of sorts: It learns from the mistakes of Uprising while building on the foundation the original set in place.

The characters and story already have me engaged. Right from the get-go, you get a sense of how dire this fight is, being plunged right into the action at its most intense. You feel the stakes even before anything that serious has happened yet. The Travis family already shows a healthy balance of resolve, charm, and angst that even at it’s earliest, you can’t help but care for these folks. Hayley already strikes me as my favourite for her spunk and her soft-heartedness. Taylor is a bit rougher around the edges and can feel bit like a jerk at times, but he’s got just as much of a heart, and you quickly learn why it’s hardened. Loa is already stealing the show, as you can imagine a snarky mecha AI would. The first training scene gets special mention just for how hilariously inspired it feels.

When the tragedy does strike—and believe me, friends, it strikes fast here—you will be caught off-guard. I won’t ruin the surprise because I don’t want to overhype it or spoil it for anyone who wants to watch it too, but in short, you are lulled in a sense of secure tranquility. You get the feeling that things aren’t so bad where the story starts off. You get to know the other characters just a little bit, but you get a real sense of connection between everyone. Then just as when things seem to be getting fun, things take a drastically dark turn. There is a shocking loss, that while sterile in some ways, makes it clear right off the bat, that no one is safe in this world and it sticks.

Ordinarily, I’m not one for tragedies, but after Polygon’s last giant monster-based sci-fi tragedy, the infamous Godzilla Earth anime trilogy, it feels like a drastic even welcome improvement. In Gen Urobochi’s controversial high sci-fi take on the King of the Monsters, you got a barebones story where everything was either inferred, vague, or explained in an almost unbearable level of technical detail. You never got to see things at their best, or got an idea of what there was to care about or fight for. There was virtually no sense of connection between anyone, or a feeling that this universe was lived in. The characters had no real personality, defined almost entirely by their archetypes and positions, and some looked almost indistinguishable from one another. Here, the writing, art direction, and character design, all come together to create an undeniable sense of life. That’s right: not only is this an improvement over a Pacific Rim movie, but it’s an improvement over three whole Godzilla movies from the same studio. (Although having a Western writing team who is more accustomed to character tics and interactions probably helped in that regard.)

That said, the art and animation do leave some things to be desired. Again, while Polygon is clearly improving in some areas, this is pretty standard fare for them. While the character designs are nicely made and the cinematography easy on the eyes, with some shots looking beautifully rendered that I mistook a CG character for a 2D one at least twice, there are still some framerate and composition problems that stick out like sore monster thumbs. While only momentary, I did notice that sometimes the framerates for character movement would jump from smooth for a shot or two and then return back to Polygon’s normal stiff one immediately after, and while the backgrounds are beautiful sometimes it easier to tell there are CG characters walking on 2D pictures than others. Especially when it looks like the they are literally walking on a flat service at an angle.

Moreover, while the kaiju and jaeger design continue to impress in Pacific Rim fashion, they do feel like they suffer from similar problems as Uprising had. The jaegers you see in the opening and the main jaeger, Atlas Destroyer included, continue the trend of smoother and more vibrantly coloured mechas in the vein of Striker Eureka and G Danger/Avenger than the more characterized, robotic designs of the original, and if not for Atlas’s striking colour scheme and unique status as an unarmed training jaeger, probably would not stand out from any of the others. The kaiju are all looking good—and come from rifts that open on the mainland rather than the ocean this time—with distinctive new outlines and even new species for some added peril, but they do lack the monstrous alien aesthetic of the original movie’s monsters in some places, but not enough so to bother you. Although you will be wondering when the Precursors (or whoever made them, because Boy, does this show raise some questions fast) thought straight-up giant shrink-wrapped Dobermans were they way to go when it came to picking off humans, or when they decided to experiment with their colour palette. Most jarringly though, while the show does it’s best to regain that sense of weight and scale Jaegers had in the original film, they still feel lighter and faster like in Uprising, but with Polygon’s suddenly fluid framerate and stiffer range of motion, it might just stick out more here.

The music is alright. I’m not a fan of the subdued opening title music. I get it supposed to set the mood for the dire and dramatic tone and while it does, it also feels strangely too serious for a show from a franchise with as much punch as Pacific Rim. The main titles themselves are alright too, but they’re nothing too special. There’s some cool imagery and the stills of kaiju fighting jaegers remind me of the opening and end credits of the first movie, but some of looks less rendered than other parts and a lot of it feels just bland. (In short, my thoughts have improved since I first saw it, but not by much.) The series soundtrack itself is fine—it has a somewhat similar feel to the films’ scores but it’s also has some stock cues sprinkled throughout. So not much to talk about at the moment. The end theme is pretty good, since it reminds me the most of the original movie’s main theme. Hopefully we’ll get more of that.

I think my biggest gripe is one that simply cannot be overcome. The name: Why is it just “The Black”? Race-related jokes and unfortunate implications aside, it is just dumb. Bland. Uninspired. It reeks of trying too hard to seem nuanced and dark, but it just makes sound like it will be generic grimdark pretentiousness. Which is especially damaging when that is clearly not the case here. Even in the story, it makes no sense. From what I can tell about the plot and world so far, there was literally nothing stopping them from calling it “The Blackout”, which would have just been so much more appropriate. And don’t tell me “Pacific Rim: The Blackout,” wouldn’t sound even cooler.

(Or perhaps “The Mucky-Muck,” but maybe that’s just my Tenacious D fan-brain speaking.)

TLDR; the show definitely has it’s flaws and I’m concerned how far they’ll take the darkness with the series, but it’s pleasantly surprised me in a lot of ways. I look forward to seeing where it goes.

Welllp These Are Books: the February 2021 Edition

Most of my last month was spent on deadline and waiting for people to respond to my emails, which meant I did not have the time (or energy) to write much of anything, but had plenty of time to read, quite frankly, an absurd number of books. Some of which were very good, some of which were very cheesy, and some of which I have now told multiple people was quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. As always, though, what are my opinions if I am not sharing them with the internet? Ridiculous headlines, links, and those aforementioned opinions under the cut. As always, part two, feel free to send me any and all recommendations. It cannot possibly be worse than this one book. Seriously, you’ll understand in a second.

———

Quite Possibly the First Book I’ve Gone Out of My Way to Buy On Release Day Since Breaking Dawn, Which Says a lot About Me. As a Person.

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it.

The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other.

Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.

Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

I’m not kidding when I tell you that I was counting the days until this came out. I was kind of indifferent to Nesta after the original ACOTAR books, but intrigued enough that I was like, I need to read this, and then I did read this and now I care quite a lot about Nesta. And how in love with Cassian she is. And vice versa. Because, let’s be honest, dude is in l o v e. There were some parts of the story I was not super into — namely, Ferye having to die in childbirth. Like, you’re telling me Cassian could have his guts hanging out at one point and we don’t know how to do a c-section? Nah, that ain’t it. Also, pregnancy as a storyline is not always my favorite thing, but more on that in a second. Also, also, here’s a bunch more words about ACOSF.

A “Huh, So That Happened” Sort of Ending. Which Was Disappointing.

A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer

Emberfall is crumbling fast, torn between those who believe Rhen is the rightful prince and those who are eager to begin a new era under Grey, the true heir. Grey has agreed to wait two months before attacking Emberfall, and in that time, Rhen has turned away from everyone--even Harper, as she desperately tries to help him find a path to peace.

Fight the battle, save the kingdom. Meanwhile, Lia Mara struggles to rule Syhl Shallow with a gentler hand than her mother. But after enjoying decades of peace once magic was driven out of their lands, some of her subjects are angry Lia Mara has an enchanted prince and a magical scraver by her side. As Grey's deadline draws nearer, Lia Mara questions if she can be the queen her country needs.

As the two kingdoms come closer to conflict, loyalties are tested, love is threatened, and an old enemy resurfaces who could destroy them all, in this stunning conclusion to bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer's Cursebreaker series.

I loved the first book in this series. Absolutely adored it. So much so that I pretty quickly got the second one and read it. Enjoyed that on its own, but like I said in that one ask, I’m fairly certain A Curse So Dark and Lonely could have very easily been a standalone story. Should have been a standalone story? There was just SO MUCH going on here, and not nearly enough of it was resolved. Plot points just hung by the end of the trilogy, I was not ever entirely convinced Rhen and Harper were actually in love, let alone liked each other, and I thought Rhen got the very short end of an exceptionally cracked stick by the time the whole story wrapped up. Really, I think this tried to do too much in not enough time and there should probably be another book. Also Lia Mara getting pregnant was dumb. There I said it.

Free Books On Amazon Unlimited That Were Better Than Expected, But Also Read Like Fic

The Bargainer Series by Laura Thalassa

Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He’s a man who can get you anything you want … at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects.

Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she’s been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she’s received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear.

But for one of his clients, he’s never asked for repayment. Not until now. When Callie finds the fae king of the night in her room, a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye, she knows things are about to change. At first it’s just a chaste kiss—a single bead’s worth—and a promise for more.

For the Bargainer, it’s more than just a matter of rekindling an old romance. Something is happening in the Otherworld. Fae warriors are going missing one by one. Only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to their breast. And then there are the whispers among the slaves, whispers of an evil that’s been awoken.

If the Bargainer has any hope to save his people, he’ll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. Only, his foe has a taste for exotic creatures, and Callie just happens to be one.

No one is going to be able to convince me this wasn’t ACOTAR fan fic. I don’t care about timing or dates, or whatever. The similarities just...did not stop. In all three books, even. There were three books in this series, by the way. Most of which I really enjoyed. I read them all in like four days of email waiting, so they must have been doing something right. Des was a good love interest and I really liked the flashbacks in the first book. Also Callie didn’t super annoy me. That being said, whoever edited this book. Oof. Some of the prose was so goddamn cringe, I literally lol’ed. Right out loud. Every now and then it was like we had to be reminded that Des was a BAD GUY ™ but it felt very Edward “I’m a killer, Bella” Cullen, and Callie’s internal monologue was occasionally hysterical. Not in a good way. Also Temper was the worst. She was so annoying. Every time she talked, I was like, oh, her again. The first book was the best one.

HITTING ALL MY ROM COM BOXES! BASEBALL! ROMANCE! PINING! ONLY VAGUELY UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN THEY HAD SEX IN THE PORT JEFF DUGOUT BECAUSE I’VE BEEN IN THE PORT JEFF DUGOUT.

Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey

Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World... whatever that means.

Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?)

Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)

Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)

Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)

Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her...

Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite.

Legit, I saw the description for this and I was like—did I write this? Kind of. (Shameless plug to read my own rom com, it also has baseball and pining) It didn’t matter, I loved it. Seriously, it hit all my rom com boxes: childhood friends, best friend’s sister, coming back home under duress, FAKE DATING and, let’s be honest, I am not immune to the use of “baby girl” as an endearment. Every time Travis called Georgie “baby girl” I was like, oh, ok, this is cool. It was cool! I only have two quips. One, that the fake dating didn’t last a little longer. The pacing of the story felt very quick, but that’s also this genre’s style. So I kind of get it. And two, that it happened in Port Jefferson, which is a town in Suffolk County that I have not only been to, but have spent significant time in. Meaning I could picture every single thing, knew exactly where they were and have used the exit on the Northern State Parkway that the final moments of the book took place at. The Port Jeff girls basketball team won a Long Island championship last weekend. In real life, not the book.

In Which Spinoffs Continue to be my Kryptonite. Especially Well-Written Ones

Mistletoe and Mr. Right by Sarah Morgenthaler

Lana Montgomery is everything the quirky small town of Moose Springs, Alaska can't stand: a rich socialite with dreams of changing things for the better. But Lana's determined to prove that she belongs...even if it means trading her stilettos for snow boots and tracking one of the town's hairiest Christmas mysteries: the Santa Moose, an antlered Grinch hell-bent on destroying every bit of holiday cheer (and tinsel) it can sink its teeth into.

And really...how hard could it be?

The last few years have been tough on Rick Harding, and it's not getting any easier now that his dream girl's back in town. When Lana accidentally tranquilizes him instead of the Santa Moose, it's clear she needs help, fast...and this could be his chance to finally catch her eye. It's an all-out Christmas war, but if they can nab that darn moose before it destroys the town, Rick and Lana might finally find a place where they both belong...together.

I mentioned The Tourist Attraction in my January list, and this is the second in the Moose Springs trio. And it’s so good! I wish people were all as nice to Lana as Rick was. It’s what she deserved! More small-town antics, more kissing, another moose. This one was just as cute as the original book, especially because it brought back original characters and Zoey and Graham were so goddamn adorable as a committed couple I genuinely feared for the state of my teeth.

Enjoy the View by Sarah Morgenthaler

Former Hollywood darling River Lane's acting career is tanking fast. Determined to start fresh behind the camera, she agrees to film a documentary about the picturesque small town of Moose Springs, Alaska. The assignment should have been easy, but the quirky locals want nothing to do with River. Well, too bad: River's going to make this film and prove herself, no matter what it takes.

Or what (literal) mountain she has to climb.

Easton Lockett may be a gentle giant, but he knows a thing or two about survival. If he can keep everyone in line, he should be able to get River and her crew up and down Mount Veil in one piece. Turns out that's a big if. The wildlife's wilder than usual, the camera crew's determined to wander off a cliff, and the gorgeous actress is fearless. Falling for River only makes Easton's job tougher, but there's only so long he can hold out against her brilliant smile. When bad weather strikes, putting everyone at risk, it'll take all of Easton's skill to get them back home safely...and convince River she should stay in his arms for good.

Wrapping up the Moose Springs trio, this one might have been my least favorite, but that’s not really saying much. Since I loved them all pretty equally. River and Easton’s banter was grade-A, top-notch, which is a one-way ticket to my reading-heart. Maybe part of the problem (I say problem like there really was one) was that most of the story took place on a mountain. I kind of wanted more small-town shenanigans, and updates on the condos and the state of the town and Graham being mayor. Still, this was very cute. I swooned multiple times. I’ll probably read anything Sarah Morgenthaler writes from here on out.

Seriously, What Is YA? Does Anyone Know?

The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh

In 1872, New Orleans is a city ruled by the dead. But to seventeen-year-old Celine Rousseau, New Orleans is a safe haven after she's forced to flee her life as a dressmaker in Paris. Taken in by the sisters of the Ursuline convent in the middle of the carnival season, Celine is quickly enraptured by the vibrant city, from its music to its fancy soirées and even its danger. She becomes embroiled in the city's glitzy underworld, known as La Cour des Lions, after catching the eye of the group's enigmatic leader, Sébastien Saint Germain.

When the body of one of the girls from the convent is found in Sébastien's own lair--the second dead girl to turn up in recent weeks--Celine battles her attraction to Sébastien and suspicions about his guilt along with the shame of her own horrible secret.

After a third murder, New Orleans becomes gripped by the terror of a serial killer on the loose--one who has now set Celine in his sights. As the murderer stalks her, Celine finally takes matters into her own hands, only to find herself caught in the midst of an age-old feud between the darkest creatures of the night, where the price of forbidden love is her life.

Like I said last month, I put a hold on pretty much everything Renee Ahdieh had written in my library. And this was just as good as the last series I read. Her world building is just—chef’s kiss, gorgeous. I dream of writing this airy, magical way, that makes you feel like you’re in New Orleans. That being said, I do not know what kid is reading this because apparently this is YA and I had to read every single word to figure out what was going on. Now, I know there are two more books in the series, but this one felt like a lot of set up and I spent most of it being like...will this make sense eventually? It did, but only during a very rushed climax of final few chapters. The sequel isn’t available on Kindle at the library, and I haven’t bought it yet. So, that’s probably kind of telling.

In Which You Cannot Always Depend On Old Favorites

No Judgments by Meg Cabot

When a massive hurricane severs all power and cell service to Little Bridge Island—as well as its connection to the mainland—twenty-five-year-old Bree Beckham isn’t worried . . . at first. She’s already escaped one storm—her emotionally abusive ex—so a hurricane seems like it will be a piece of cake.

But animal-loving Bree does become alarmed when she realizes how many islanders have been cut off from their beloved pets. Now it’s up to her to save as many of Little Bridge’s cats and dogs as she can . . . but to do so, she’s going to need help—help she has no choice but to accept from her boss’s sexy nephew, Drew Hartwell, the Mermaid Café’s most notorious heartbreaker.

But when Bree starts falling for Drew, just as Little Bridge’s power is restored and her penitent ex shows up, she has to ask herself if her island fling was only a result of the stormy weather, or if it could last during clear skies too.

I love Meg Cabot. That should be stated upfront and at the very beginning because for a very long time I have claimed that being Meg Cabot was my dream job. I’ve read pretty much every book Meg Cabot has ever written and was fairly certain I’d be into these once I did read them. Only I was...not. Not really. Everything in this book happened so quickly, I felt like I was the one in the hurricane. People were kissing and then they were having sex and there was a storm and pets and then—it was over? The pacing was all over the place, I had no idea why Drew and Bree liked each other, some guy kicked a dog at one point?? It was weird. Which leads us to—

No Offense by Meg Cabot

A broken engagement only gave Molly Montgomery additional incentive to follow her dream job from the Colorado Rockies to the Florida Keys. Now, as Little Bridge Island Public Library’s head of children’s services, Molly hopes the messiest thing in her life will be her sticky-note covered desk. But fate—in the form of a newborn left in the restroom—has other ideas. So does the sheriff who comes to investigate the “abandonment”. When John Hartwell folds all six-feet-three of himself into a tiny chair and insists that whoever left the baby is a criminal, Molly begs to differ and asks what he’s doing about the Island’s real crime wave (if thefts of items from homes that have been left unlocked could be called that). Not the best of starts, but the man’s arrogance is almost as distracting as his blue eyes. Almost…

John would be pretty irritated if one of his deputies had a desk as disorderly as Molly’s. Good thing she doesn’t work for him, considering how attracted he is to her. Molly’s lilting librarian voice makes even the saltiest remarks go down sweeter, which is bad as long as she’s a witness but might be good once the case is solved—provided he hasn’t gotten on her last nerve by then. Recently divorced, John has been having trouble adjusting to single life as well as single parenthood. But something in Molly’s beautiful smile gives John hope that his old life on Little Bridge might suddenly hold new promise—if only they can get over their differences.

This isn’t a sequel SEQUEL, but another one of those “exists in the same universe,” or same town, as it were, and it was better than No Judgments. Molly and John actually had a few legitimate conversations before they started kissing. The conflict was still weird and sort of forced, this was not Meg’s usual banter (I fell like I can call her Meg at this point, y’know?) and, again, the ending just felt like it...happened. I don’t know guys, maybe I should just reread The Boy Is Back. Or that quasi Persephone-Hades series. It’s been awhile. On that one, at least. I read The Boy Is Back like six months ago.

ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING ROM COM THAT I CANNOT BELIEVE I FINISHED, SOMEONE GIVE ME A PRIZE FOR FINISHING THIS

Fight or Flight by Samantha Young

The universe is conspiring against Ava Breevort. As if flying back to Phoenix to bury a childhood friend wasn't hell enough, a cloud of volcanic ash traveling from overseas delayed her flight back home to Boston. Her last ditch attempt to salvage the trip was thwarted by an arrogant Scotsman, Caleb Scott, who steals a first class seat out from under her. Then over the course of their journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest layover Ava's ever had. And that's all it was--until Caleb shows up on her doorstep.

When pure chance pulls Ava back into Caleb's orbit, he proposes they enjoy their physical connection while he's stranded in Boston. Ava agrees, knowing her heart's in no danger since a) she barely likes Caleb and b) his existence in her life is temporary. Not long thereafter Ava realizes she's made a terrible error because as it turns out Caleb Scott isn't quite so unlikeable after all. When his stay in Boston becomes permanent, Ava must decide whether to fight her feelings for him or give into them. But even if she does decide to risk her heart on Caleb, there is no guarantee her stubborn Scot will want to risk his heart on her...

When I tell you guys that this was the worst book I have read in recent memory, I am not kidding. Might actually be the worst book I have ever read. Bar none. And that’s saying something because one time I had to read Ender’s Game in college and that, like, physically pained me. This was awful. Awful people. Awful plot. Awful resolution. AWFUL. Where to start? Well, I’m not going to apologize for spoilers, because God help us all, do not read this book. Ava has been through so many horrible things in her life it was like someone was trying to set a record. Bad parents, cheating ex-boyfriend, dead former best friend who was former because of the cheating ex-boyfriend. Naturally, this made her a control freak because—of course, or something. And Caleb! Oh my God, fucking Caleb Scott. The dickwad. I’ve never rooted for anyone to not get the girl more. When Ava “broke up” with him (they were never really together) I might have cheered. Shitty things does not give you an excuse to be a dick, and Caleb was a dick. Seriously, he started crying about how his ex-fiance KILLED THEIR BABY and I was like—this cannot possibly be a real book. It was! With lots of abortion opinions out of FUCKING nowhere, and weird possessive behavior from, like, every dude in it. Both Ava AND her best friend (not the dead one, a different one) got assaulted at one point. I kept reading solely because I was desperate to see how they rationalized Ava and Caleb getting back together at the end and they didn’t. He showed up on her flight when her boss came up with a fake work trip so he could sit next to her on the plane. What? WHAT?? It was so dumb. So bad. I can’t believe I read it.

Don’t Hold Me -4- Carter Hart

A/N: As always all previous parts are linked in my masterlist Alrighty folks, it’s about to get going now. Hold onto your hats. It’ll be full speed ahead soon.

Your eyes peeled open. The room was too quiet. No roommate making noise, or guy trying to sneak out. The bed was too soft and big, you felt like it went on for days, compared to your tiny twin at school. That’s when you realized you weren’t in your dorm.

You had no idea where you were. You didn’t recognize the room you were in, it wasn’t Travis’s, or even Nolan’s. You started to panic even more when you realized you weren’t in your own clothes.

You sat up quickly, the whole room spun around you. You could hardly remember a thing about last night, much less actually leaving the party, wherever it was. Which scared you. You didn’t know where your phone was, or where you were. Or why you weren’t in your own clothes, in a strange bed.

The panic started to set in, you needed to figure out where you were. But more importantly, how you got here. This wasn’t like you. Hell, getting black out drunk was something you did once, and you still regretted that decision and vowed never to do it again.

You threw the covers off and started to rush out of the bedroom before you tripped over something and fell flat on your face.

“What the fuck, Y/N?”

You flipped yourself over and scrambled away, “Carter? What the hell?”

“You stepped on me, you don’t get to be mad,” He argued, sitting up.

“How the hell did I get here? And why was I in your bed?”

“You don’t remember?”

You could feel the panic rise, surely you hadn’t done anything with Carter. If you did anything with him you’d likely die. That was the one thing you didn’t want.

“Relax, I picked you up because Travis called me. I brought you back here because you said you didn’t have your key. You passed out on the couch and then threw up all over yourself, so I got you to change into some fresh clothes and tucked you in, like a gentleman,” He explained.

“Why are you sleeping on the floor?”

He shrugged, “You were up and down all night, figured I’d better stay close in case you needed me to hold your hair back again.”

“You? I’m sorry, you what?”

“I held your hair back, while you threw up, multiple times. And had to force you to eat toast and drink some water.”

Your face heated up. No way did you ever want anyone to see you like that. Much less Carter. Who knows what you told him last night. You could’ve said anything and he probably wouldn’t tell you. He would just tell TK and probably laugh about whatever it was.

You made a mistake by letting him take you, you should’ve just waited for TK to finally come for you. He would’ve come eventually. He wouldn’t have left me alone there. Ethan...oh god, your big brother. You were on the phone with him. Did he know you were okay? Did he even know what happened to you?

“Where is my phone? I need to call my brother.”

“Relax. He knows you’re fine. TK even came over to check on you last night, but you were already out of it. He offered to take you, but kinda figured it’d be best to leave you.”

“Take me? You make me sound like I’m a burden.”

He cursed and stood up. Since you were still on the floor he towered over you, making you feel like a small child. You just wished that you could disappear. You never should have left your dorm yesterday Why did you have to be so stupid? Again?

“Hey, no I didn’t mean it like that,” He replied, “It was actually nice having you here, didn’t enjoy the throwing up, but I actually got to see a little bit of that girl Travis always talks about.”

“He talks about me?”

“Yeah, him and Nolan. They always talk about how funny you are, and laid back, and how you’re kind of like one of the guys and a sister all wrapped up into one.”

He offered a hand to help you up. You reluctantly took it and followed him through the apartment. You’d never even seen his place before, but he seemed to have every curtain and blind pulled so it wasn’t overly bright. He lead you to the kitchen and pointed to a stool before going and rummaging in the fridge.

You stayed silent. You wanted to figure out just what happened last night, but you were scared to actually ask what happened. You were afraid to know. The fact that you blacked out scared you. Being out of control like that, not knowing what you’d done...that wasn’t you.

You nearly jumped out of your own skin when he touched your shoulder a few minutes later. Without even thinking, you slid out of the bar stool and took a few steps back, needing the put distance between you two.

“I’m sorry,” He quickly said, trying to calm you, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“Just don’t… Don’t touch me.”

“Okay, back to that again. Got it,” He replied softly, “I’m not going to hurt you, Y/N.”

You hugged yourself, pulling on the sleeves of the shirt that was much too big for you. You just wanted to disappear. Become so much smaller than you were and just vanish. The way he was looking at you, it was like he saw you. The thought of it made you uncomfortable. You didn’t want to be seen. You just wanted to vanish.

“I shouldn’t be here.”

“Okay, I’ll get my keys and take you back. Your roommate should be back by now, it’s the afternoon.”

“No. I’d rather just walk.”

“I’m not letting you walk back to campus.” He replied, “If you don’t want to get into the car with me, that’s fine. But at least let me call TK to come get you.”

“No. I can manage just fine on my own! I don’t need anyone to babysit me!”

He groaned and turned around. He took a few steps away from where he was standing. The whole feeling in the room changed to something you couldn’t figure out. You got the feeling that he was mad at you now.

He had no real right to be mad, he didn’t know you. This was the longest conversation you’d ever had with him, and it was because you’d likely thrown up on him the night before. You two had no obligations to one another.

“You know, I actually liked spending time with you last night, when you weren’t calling me an asshole or throwing up.”

“Oh, so I have to be drunk for you to decide you like me?”

“No. God that’s not what I-” He rubbed his face and took a deep breath, “I don’t know what you’re so afraid of, all the time, but last night you weren’t. You were just you. Sorry that I actually enjoyed spending time with you.”

You shook your head, “You know nothing about me. Don’t act like you do.”

“And there she is again,” He laughed almost sadly, “Closed off and scared that someone might actually see you.”

You took another step back, like his words actually hit you in the chest. You hadn’t expected him to say anything like that, it almost scared you. You didn’t want this. You didn’t ask for him to question everything. You just wanted to leave, you wanted to get away. You didn’t want to be around him anymore.

“Stop acting like you know me! We aren’t friends, Carter. We just know the same people, that’s it.”

“Wow, okay. I will go get your clothes from the dyer, and we’ll get you an uber then.”

“Perfect.”

But as he walked away, you felt like a knife was stabbing your gut. Like maybe you pushed him too far. You didn’t want anyone else, you didn’t need anyone else. But he’d taken care of you. The way he looked at you..he cared. You weren’t sure why, but he cared.

As much as you wanted to like that, you couldn’t. The thought of someone else wanting to be a part of your life was terrifying to you. You liked having the small group that you had. Just Travis and Patty here, maybe your roommate when both of you were getting along. It was easier, safer.

“Here, I washed them. Change or keep what you have on, I don’t care,” He dropped your clothes onto the counter, “Your phone is plugged up over there. TK will be here in five to get you.”

“Carter, I-”

“I’m going to shower, I smell like cheap beer. Have a nice day.”

And so not even half an hour later you found yourself stomping back into your dorm, followed closely by Travis. He was trying to get you to tell him what happened. But all you wanted to do was yell at him for leaving you the way that he did.

Your roommate was sitting at her desk, working on something for one of her classes when you threw the door open. Travis didn’t yet understand why you were angry with him, but he was about to.

“C’mon, it’s Carter he’s harmless!”

“That’s not the point! C’mon Travis! Did you seriously think it was a good idea to leave me with someone I don’t know? Do you have any idea how scared I was when I woke up? I don’t know Carter, I don’t want to know him! And you forced us on each other!”

“It wasn’t like that! I was busy.”

“Oh yeah? With what?”

“I was just busy,” He replied.

“You were with a girl. So you set someone I’ve talked to twice, two freaking times, pick me up when I literally couldn’t even see straight. I didn’t know where I was, or who I was. And you let him come get me, and take me back to his place. Do you understand how stupid that was?” You yelled.

“It’s not like he was a stranger, Y/N. It’s Carter, he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

“You’re missing the damn point Travis! You left me alone! You have no idea what could’ve happened to me but you were too busy with your whoever to care!”

“Is that what you really think? Seriously? After all these years?”

“Get out of my room.”

“Y/N-”

“Get out of my dorm Travis!”

That’s when your roommate finally got up and stepped between you. She held you behind her with one arm, while the other pushed Travis away. She’d never gotten in the middle like this before. She always just let you fight it out and deal with it on your own.

“She said go. So I would before I call someone to make you leave,” She said calmly, “I doubt that would reflect well on the team.”

“Seriously?”

“Get out of here, she doesn’t want you here right now.”

He shook his head and took a step back, “Shut me out too, that’s okay. I’ll be here when you decide you want to talk.”

You didn’t start crying until he was gone and the door shut behind him. Twice you’d pushed too hard, and you knew it too. Travis was the best thing that ever happened to you, and you knew that. Yet you just pushed him away too.

Before you knew what she was doing, your roommate sat you down on your bed and wrapped you up with your favorite blanket. She grabbed your little bear, that was old and ratty at this point, and put him in your arms so you could hold him.

“It’s okay,” She told you quietly, “It’s going to be okay. I promise.”

“I went too far.”

“He’s a puppy dog, and he loves you, he’s not going to leave you behind,” She promised, “He’ll probably leave some fast food outside the door later on as a peace offering. And I’m sure that other one will talk some sense into him.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be, it’s okay. I’m the one who dragged you out last night. I should’ve let you stay here.”

You shook your head and allowed her to hold onto you. For once you needed to be held. And although she wasn’t all bad, she wasn’t who you wanted to be held by. She wasn’t who you needed. But you weren’t sure if you’d ever have who you needed. Not after the way you acted. He was gone now.

station 19 - season 4, etc

this is long but i want to put down my thoughts before thursday comes and i guess i have A Lot To Say.

honestly didn’t pay much attention to this show until halfway through season two— always liked maya and was glad that they gave her more to do. going into season 3, i was excited for more character development &stronger storylines. however, by the end of 301 the dip in quality was glaringly obvious. a quick google search revealed that there was a new showrunner and, well, it showed.

while the show had been going in a really good direction with balancing the screen time between andy and the other regulars, this season, the plot was all over the place. it was uber dramatic and just. so much happened just to happen? seemed like every other episode had a major event(deaths alone; ryan,rigo,pruitt?!!?). they were so frequent, it was hard to process. it was also hard to get invested as the characters themselves moved on(or were shown to have moved on, extremely quickly!)

i enjoy the show for what it is and i have no delusions about broadcast tv shows (or shondaland productions, for that matter)but the suspension of disbelief.... i mean: a stabbing, a robbery, a shooting and a car crash? all in one episode? please! lmaooooo. drama for dramas sake is always boring and weakens the story.

& as for the characters... .

everyone felt like a hollow version of themselves this season and it was hard to watch sometimes, actually. characters switched motivations /personalities for the sake of the current episode and i know this show is very ‘monster/emergency of the week’ but. some consistency! please! like—

maya: she’s always been determined and focused but they went so far with it this season, it was almost cartoonish. her competitiveness was hinted at in season 2 but she was always portrayed as self aware. ‘the beast,’ as she dubbed it to andy, was something she knew of and tried to contain, because she knew it could get out of hand.

yet, in season 3 she suddenly forgets this and just. becomes the most power hungry/singularly focused person, ever. she goes after the captain position behind andy’s back, (citing andy’s emotional state, because of the death of her best friend as a reason she shouldn’t get the job?? huh. since when is maya this purely callous??!) she just doesn’t give af, suddenly, about andy at all, and goes for a job that she is hardly qualified for(she was lieutenant for like, a few months?)

and then after she gets the position, she just. loses all sense of reality? literally she was so unhinged(fun to watch but so much) and it was like. um?? maya has never been the uptight one (they've mentioned and depicted andy as being the one like this, multiple times!) and we know she knows how to have fun, so, for her to all of a sudden just. not know how to read the room? yeah okay. to make her so intense and severe, especially w the drills and training was, a choice. a bad one, on the writers part. like, i get that they needed her start as captain to be dramatic or whatever, but there were ways to do that. and even the animosity with the team and her went so far, i just think that whole storyline was amazingly lazy, honestly.

and the friendships!! andy and maya’s friendship is just, a mess. at this point they've spent more time at odds, and the idea that they're supposed to be best friends with this super close bond? yeah, i just... i dont buy it tbh. if they'd spent more time building up their connections and making us understand why they would be friends and showing them being there for each other past a few scattered scenes her and there? maybe. but so far, that hasn't been the case. making that bond real, solidifying that friendship, would have made this conflict have more of an emotional impact. but doing it now? making maya ‘turn’ on andy, this soon and this drastically just. it made her seem like she was extremely jealous and had been waiting to pull the rug out from under andy all along. and also, why would they stay friends when, so far, maya has showed, time and time again, that she’s willing to let her wants/ambitions leech on her loyalty to andy? (jack thing, job thing, etc). although, it’s not like andy’s a good friend to maya either, she’s selfish and seems to like it when maya is in her corner but isnt always there for her. they went so far with the idea that maya was this coldly calculating asshole that she was almost a villain?? it was so silly to me.

and the traumatic home life plot they gave to maya was clearly their attempt at some adding nuance to her character and trying to explain why she would act the way she did, but to me? it fell flat. it was rushed, and they went from zero to 100(why did her mother come to talk about her divorce/abuse at maya’s job? like she was literally working? idgi. no boundaries lmaoo)

and i actually relate and sympathize w maya a lot. and while i liked that they were exploring the many ways abuse can present itself, it was very... hm, ham-fisted. just super rushed and then wrapped up so quickly. they have, i think, written themselves into this dark place i fear they have no intention of exploring.

and while i understand it, i hated how far they let maya go, especially because i don't feel they’ll adequately address it. they move on so quickly( maya was deaf for like half a season and then. she just. wasn't) and i hate the idea of her just being ‘fixed’. a relationship and an apology doesn't undo years of abuse, idc. also will they ever address maya’s um, thoughts about death??? because that was super heavy and not just something someone gets over? going to need for her to get actual professional help. that isn’t her girlfriend, like. asap.

speaking of carina, i do like her and maya together a lot. big part of why i watch, ngl. but i need their relationship to be a lot more reciprocal. like, lets dial it back on the codependency, maybe. carina cant (and shouldn't have to) hold her up so much ! that’s not love. also maya needs to start being a good girlfriend. they started off that way, i know they can get back there. but like, we hardly got to see them settle into it, we got those cute 30sec clips of sweetness then maya was lashing out and cheating and it was like. wait a minute! what???

for s4, i want to see them working at reconciling—im talking, groveling, awkward in-between moments where carina isnt sure she can trust her. okay, tough conversations, hell, even jealousy because let's be real. maya working with jack is a lot for carina to just. take? i know i absolutely would not be happy about that, but i also wouldnt take maya back so... anyway! brushing over that would not just be a missed storytelling opportunity, but it would also be super unfair to carina and do a huge disservice to their relationship as a whole. as cute as they are, having cute moments with no real depth would get very old, very quickly.

carina: what can i say but-perfect, amazing, fantastic, WOW

seriously, carina is almost unrealistically perfect. she takes a lot and has been through the most (can they be nice 2 her this season? like just for fun) going forward, im going to need her to be more than a plot device to calm and soothe maya. i get that she was introduced as a love interest, but in season 4(as a season!!regular!!) that cant be all she is.

speaking of, it was really weird to me that she was promoted to station 19 and not greys because... what is a gynecologist going to do at a fire station? the general consensus seems to be that she’ll join warren’s PRT but like. she’s not a general surgeon so that’s a reach but, i want her around so ill buy it. i just want better and more for her tbh. not just screen-time, but also character development and depth! also friends! tired of carina being isolated, they did it on greys which. a waste! i meaaan, amelia was RIGHT. THERE. just look at the material! for s19, i want her, vic and travis to be friends or even just her and vic, like yesplease! i also want to know more about her and im tired of her being treated badly. like, i think society had progressed past carina being shitted on, thanks!

vic: my fave!!! they did so lazy by her this season ugh. she’s so charismatic and charming and just so good!! yet, her storyline was all over the place. we hardly got to see her sit with her grief (spontaneous crying aside; barrett doss is so good!) she was just kind of... around. and that relationship w jackson. lol. it was so obviously for crossover potential and well. i didnt hate it or like it. actually, i was mostly indifferent. bored, even when they were onscreen together. i just didn't care and wanted more of vic, not vic and whoever. i know they're up in the air rn but i wouldn’t be torn up if he doesn’t come back.

i want more for vic past just romantic entanglements. i know we’ve gotten a bit of her past, but i would like to see more! also, what about employment accomplishments? her artsy theatre friends? her family? just. more vic, please!!

she’s so fun and cool and when they let her, she shines. they need to let her!

jack: my boy! so dumb, but i love him sm. he def needs like. major help, though lmao. and maybe it’s just me but im tired of his sex addict plot. like, we get it, but can we move on now? kthanks. they need to let him work on himself especially, the constant self sabotage. it's getting old. for ALL of them, actually, seriously, how many times can they all get in their own way.

andy: don’t really think about her. the mom storyline seems like it would be wonderfully dramatic, im intrigued. she and sullivan are cute, i guess. hope they make it.

ben: no major issues w his storyline, hardly remember it honestly. i liked the rapport he was building w vic and want them to explore that relationship more, its cute.

travis: so funny and adorable, let him do more.

dean: loved him in all his entitled first born African son glory. i didnt so much love the baby plot but that always bores me. his sudden love for vic though. lol. since when? it def, came out of no where and while i really enjoy their friendship, to me, there is zero romantic chemistry there so i would prefer it if they just. stopped. lmao. also. the way he treated her because he could get a handle on his emotions? ridiculous. has humanity not like, gotten past the ‘he’s mean bc he likes you’ thing?? like grow up maybe?

and this isnt just about dean but like. are there not more single young people in seattle? why do they all have to sleep with the same 5 people. ik for the sake of plot, workplace relationships are easier but still. i think they should branch out. really.

overall, i want better for all of them, and i think if the writers would just. take a moment and stop trying to tell so many stories in such little time, they could do better! also, whoever’s out there. please, enough w the crossovers! dont want to be forced to watch greys just to know what’s happening on 19. i get that they're in the same universe. it’s only mentioned every other episode. we. get, it. i liked what they did with private practice, it was like once every few seasons. and i know they won’t do that, but maybe, two a season.

this is so much. but this how does have a ton of potential and i just really want it . like, get there.

#either way #im still watching lmao #h8 it here lol #station 19 #maya bishop #vic hughes #andy herrera #dean miller #jack gibson #ben warren #travis montgomery #s19 #mtxt #if u see spelling mistakes #no u didnt xx #me writing dissertations to justify why im stuck here lmaoo

General:

How long will they last? - This is tricky because technically they didn’t at first but then they did? I feel like the feelings were still there even after they broke up, so I’d say forever

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - At least a month or two. Travis always found her attractive, but it wasn’t until they became friends and started talking more frequently that he fell for her hard and fast.

How was their first kiss? - It was awkward but cute at the same time. Awkward because the two of them didn’t know how to react, but cute because it revealed that the two of them definitely had feelings for each other. 10/10. Travis would definitely want to relive the moment.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Travis. It was more like a suggestion than a proposal but it counts!

Who is the best man/men? - Someone that Travis worked with.

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - Whoever Delores managed to meet when they relocated

Who did the most planning? - The wedding wasn’t too extravagant, so not much planning went into it but they each did their parts! It’s not like Travis wasn’t involved at all, he just let Delores have creative control over everything

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Anyone who could’ve possibly spilled their location to the people looking for them in New York

Sex:

Who is on top? - Travis likes to be on top. It gives him a sense of dominance but every now and then he lets her get on top because he likes the view.

Who is the one to instigate things? - You would think it’s Travis, but it’s actually Delores. She thinks she’s slick, but Travis be picking up on her.

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 (It’s pretty healthy. It’s not a 24/7 thing but they’re able to talk about and implement new things in the bedroom without it being awkward)| 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - A normal session for them is about 30-45 minutes

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Travis tries his best to make sure Delores gets off even when he doesn’t

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - Two!

How many children will they adopt? - I don’t think they would adopt. I can see Cecilia bringing around one of her troubled friends and then kinda acting as parental like figures.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Delores. Only because Travis is at work most of the time.

Who is the stricter parent? - Delores. Travis is a “Ask your mother” and “I don’t care as long as your mom says yes” type dad

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Travis will yell out a loud “Hey!” Just to spook them and stop them from whatever they were thinking about doing. That counts, right?

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Surprisingly, it’s Travis! Because his job requires him to be up late at night he always packs the lunches for the next morning. Just to take one less thing off Delores’s list.

Who is the more loved parent? - This question is trifling in its entirety but we both know it’s Delores.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - I can see Delores getting involved with the girls’s school during their elementary and middle school years to help out with things like dances, fundraisers, etc.

Who cried the most at graduation? - Neither of them cry. They were very proud though!

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Travis is the more laidback parent. He doesn’t give much of a reaction when his kids tell him things, so they often call for him in situations like that.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - It depends. Some nights the family prefers Delores’s gourmet home cooking and other nights they prefer Travis’s grilling. They rotate around a lot.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Delores. Travis will literally eat, or at least try, anything that someone puts in front of him.

Who does the grocery shopping? - If he has time, Travis will be nice and go do it while he’s out driving around. She makes the list and he gets everything for her.

How often do they bake desserts? - Travis loves sweets! He has a huge sweet tooth and he enjoys the process that comes with baking. He’s no professional, but he’s experimented around enough to know what he’s doing. He tries to bake at least three times a week.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Travis. He likes going all out for special events such as their anniversary.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - When neither of them have the energy or feel that’s it’s too late to cook than Travis usually suggests to just go out or buy fast food.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Travis. And yes, it has happened before. He was trying to make burgers indoors one day, but he didn’t know how to use a stove like that.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - They make the girls do it 😈

Who is really against chores? - Neither of them are against them. If the house is dirty then they’re going to say something and make an attempt to clean it up, but Travis does fall on the lazier side.

Who cleans up after the pets? - Travis!

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Travis when he knows Delores isn’t looking or he’s too lazy to pick it up in that moment.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Delores! Travis doesn’t really care like that. He doesn’t mind presenting the house as it is, but he’ll help make it look tidy if Delores asks.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - I’m going to pull a wildcard and say the girls. They’re always leaving things all over the house and that happens to include the spare change that their parents give them.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Travis. He’s the type to just stand there in the shower for a long time thinking.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Travis does it for a peace of mind, but he doesn’t mind Delores joining him since he knows that she adores dogs.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Every time a major holiday rolls around their house is decorated!

What are their goals for the relationship? - I’m going to answer this with older Delores and Travis in mind; right now their main goal is to build a safe and loving (but mostly safe) household for their children.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Travis. He’s a night owl; does everything at night and sleeps through the entire morning. Might be a little productive in the evening.

Who plays the most pranks? - Travis is a big joker which shocks a lot of people who get to know him. He plays little pranks on Delores all the time, but they’re harmless and nothing too serious. The type of pranks that get you mad in the moment, but later you can laugh about them.

Falling | Carter Hart

Summary: While Carter Hart tries to teach your 2nd grade class how to skate, you try not to fall... flat on your face, or, for him. Words: 2292 of 7433 Note: The request was for 1 imagine but I accidentally came up with a 3 part series... This is part 2. Read part 1 here.

The music is loud, way too loud, to even hear a single word of what your roommate Bella is saying. To be fair, it’s probably not very interesting anyway, cause she’s on one of her drunk rambles about her on again off again boyfriend, that didn’t text her back yesterday.

You hadn’t really wanted to go out tonight. Work had been a disaster today, with Fern throwing up and Rachel trying to drink finger paint.

At 7 years old, you’d figured they’d be over that, but you’d clearly been wrong.

But Bella had insisted, and eventually, you’d given in. Mostly because she started talking about you needing to get laid to get over Carter, which was ridiculous, cause you weren’t even into Carter.

Sure, you’d started watching Flyers games, but that was just cause you were getting into hockey. Not the #79 goalie that you definitely did not watch all postgame interviews of, that’s for sure.

“Are you even listening to me?” Bella yells then, and you blink a few times.

“Huh?”

“I said, if James shows up, I’m not talking to him! I’m not even gonna give him the light of day.”

You nod, but you’re not expecting that attitude to last very long. Bella is a beautiful girl, and she has many guys that would love to take her out, but she always goes back to James, who’s a no-good lowlife that is wasting her precious time. You’ve told her, time and time again, to just go for one of the guys that line up for her attention, but she always ends up back in the same place.

You wish you got that kinda attention from guys, but then again, you don’t look like Bella. She’s slim, with legs going on for days, long blonde hair and to top it of, she’s ridiculously charming.

You’re, well, you. A short, stubby girl who gets on with kids better than she does with guys her own age. Normally, you’re not really bothered about your appearance, but you can’t help but wonder, if maybe you looked a little more like Bella, a guy like Carter would look at you differently.

“Where is your mind, Y/N?” Bella says at that moment, frowning at you. “You’re literally not reacting to anything I say.”

You sigh. “Sorry, Bella. What were you saying?”

Bella rolls her eyes, then sits up straighter and points to the corner. “I said, a couple cute guys just walked in, and I wanna know which one you’re shotgunning so I can go for one of the others.”

Highly doubting you’re gonna be interested in any of them, you turn around in the direction she’d been pointing, and as soon as your eyes catch the group of guys that just came in, you feel the blood drain from your face.

You’ve only been watching hockey for a week, but you’d gotten to know the Flyers pretty well, and you know two of those guys. That’s Nolan Patrick and Travis Konecny, walking into your bar. Would that mean…?

You search the rest of the bar, but Carter is nowhere to be seen. You can’t help but be disappointed, but then again, that would’ve been too good to be true.

“I’m not interested, you go for whoever,” you tell Bella, slamming back your vodka soda. “I might go home in a bit.”

Suddenly, you notice Bella’s eyes widen, and then a wicked smile crosses her face. “No, you’re not,” she says, and just when you’re about to ask her what the hell she’s talking about, she speaks again. “Hello, cute boy.”

“Uhm, hey?” The voice sounds unsure and is hard to hear over the music, but you recognize it any way, and turn around so fast you nearly topple off your barstool.

“Carter?”

Catching your eyes, some of the tension leaves his shoulders, and he smiles. “Hi, Y/N.”

“Oh, hi.” You narrow your eyes. “You’re not legally allowed to be here.”

“God, Y/N,” Bella brings out in horror, but Carter just laughs.

“Are you supposed to be here?”

“I’m 21.”

“I’m with them.” Carter motions to Nolan and Travis and some of the other guys, and you figure that would get him into any bar he’d like to get into. Plus, well, he’s Carter Hart. He can probably do whatever he wants anyway. He casually leans up against the bar, points at your empty glass. “What were you drinking?”

You can’t help but laugh. “You’re not gonna be able to buy me one. Vodka soda.”

Now, his eyes are glistening with mischief. “Wanna bet?”

A little apprehensively, you nod. “On what?”

Carter seems to think about it, but then Bella pipes up. “If he wins, you can’t go home until I say you can go home!”

That will probably be at 6 in the morning, so you aren’t particularly keen on that bet, but Carter has already agreed and is waving over the bartender.

“Hey, man,” he says lightly, and you can almost see the moment recognition hits the bartender.

“Oh, dude, big fan!” he brings out, and that’s the moment you lose the bet. “What can I get you? On the house, dude, thanks for keeping the Flyers in the race.”

“Thank you, that’s so nice of you,” Carter smiles. “Can I have a vodka soda and a lemon tonic?” Of course, the bartender gets his drinks without hesitation, and a smug smile occupies Carter’s face when he pushes the vodka soda towards you. “Told you so.”

“Nobody likes a bad winner,” you grumble, taking a sip of your drink, and Bella claps her hands in excitement.

“That means you’ve got to stay!” She hops off her barstool. “You remember that bet, lady. I’m gonna go talk to your friend’s friends over there.” She confidently walks over to Travis and Nolan, and you shoot Carter a look.

“Does she have a shot, or should I be a good friend and go save her?” you ask him, and he laughs.

“I’d say she has as good a shot with them as anyone. And besides, they’re good guys. She’ll have a fun night either way.” He sends you a lopsided smile, and you feel your heart speed up.

Stupid heart.

“Besides, if she’s there, you’re kinda forced to hang out with me, and I like that.”

As if you need to be forced into that.

“Now, tell me,” he continues. “If you’re 21, how are you a teacher?”

“I’m not. I’m an intern at the school, and I was just accompanying the class to their field trip because their teacher was ill.”

“So you’re not the brilliant mind that made them write me those cute letters, huh?” He’s smiling at the memory, and you notice once again how nice his smile is; it lights up his face and washes a wave of calm through your body.

“Nope, but I helped the kids write them. They were cute, no?”

Carter seems to ponder for a second, before speaking again. “Moving to a new city, away from your family and friends, is always hard, and combining that with the pressure of wanting to perform well and give my team a chance to win, it was a hard first few weeks here in Philly. Those letters honestly came at the best time. I needed a pick me up, and they made me so happy.” There’s something vulnerable in the way he speaks, and you want to reach out and hug him. You haven’t quite consumed enough alcohol to be that bold, but you’ve definitely consumed enough to do something you wouldn’t normally do, so you reach out and quickly squeeze his hand.

“That sounds like it sucks,” you tell him truthfully, and he smiles at you.

“Not really. It’s been a dream come true. Just, all roses have thorns, you know? Sometimes you need to be reminded of the good parts of something.”

The fact that he hasn’t yanked his hand away from you gives you a boost of confidence and conversation flows easily after that, and somehow, your glass always seems to remain full. You hadn’t been planning to get drunk, but at the end of the night you nearly fall over when you get off your barstool, falling into Carter’s strong chest.

“You keep falling for me, huh?” Carter grins, locking his hands around your elbows to keep you steady. Of course, he hasn’t been drinking, and he’s infuriatingly sober, and infuriatingly handsome in the dim light of the bar.

“It’s not my fault I’m clumsy,” you tell him, and you don’t miss the irony of his statement. If only he knew how many times you’ve thought about kissing him, in the two hours that you’ve been talking, he wouldn’t joke about that. “I’m gonna find Bella, I don’t care about her stupid bet, I need to go home.”

If it was possible, you’d stay there all night, talking to Carter, but you’re drunk and tired and you have a feeling if you stay any longer, you’re just going to embarrass yourself more than you already have, and you’re gonna have to face him at school in a few days.

Carter seems to think about something for a while, but his hands don’t let go of your arms, so you just stand there and wait for him to speak.

“Can I bring you home?” he says finally.

Now, despite your worries, the prospect of getting a little more time with him has you smiling so big your cheeks hurt. “I’d love that,” you say. “Let me find Bella to tell her I’m leaving.”

After finding your roommate and telling her that yes, Carter was bringing you home, but no, it wasn’t like that, you leave the bar behind. Carter’s hand is warm on the small of your back and you’re not sure if he’s touching you because he wants to or because he’s worried you’ll fall on your face, but either way you’re not complaining and you mourn the loss of contact when he helps you into his car.

You watch his side profile as he drives, leaning your head back against the headrest.

“I’m sorry you have to deal with driving my drunk ass home,” you mumble softly.

He laughs. “Don’t worry about it. You’re much better company than the boys. I’m kinda the default designated driver with them, cause I can’t drink anyway.”

You notice the compliment, feel yourself blushing, but try to ignore it. “That must be annoying.”

Carter shrugs. “It’s fine. I’m assuming they’ll return the favor when I’m 21.” Then, he seems to think about something. “Except Nolan. He’s a horrible driver, I’d much rather get an Uber.”

You laugh at that. “Tell me more about the team.”

And so, he does. He talks, and it’s comfortable and just nice, and way too soon he’s parking in front of your apartment and you’re taking your house keys out of your jacket.

You would ask him to come in, but you’re pretty sure that’s against some kind of contract you signed when you accepted the internship.

“Let me walk you to the door,” Carter offers, and somehow he manages to get out of the car and around to open your car door before you’ve even managed to reach for the handle.

You giggle, as you take his hand and let him help you out of the car. “Afraid I’ll fall again?”

“Nope,” he says, and he sounds honest and not ashamed at all, as he continues: “Just wanna spend as much time with you as possible.”

Your face surely is on fire, and you can’t help but stop him before you reach your front door. “Carter, I…” When you started speaking, you were fully intend on telling him that you have to remain professional, with him scheduled to go back to school to teach the kids a PE class, but now he’s staring at you intently with those big blue eyes and you don’t even remember how to talk, let alone what you were going to say.

“Yes, Y/N?” he mimics your tone of voice, and his lips curl into a lopsided smile. He almost looks like he knows what you were going to say, and knows also that just his eyes staring into yours was enough to completely derail your trail of thought, and it’s for some reason the most amusing thing to him that you can’t think straight when he’s near.

And, maybe it’s because you’re drunk or maybe it’s because you’re so, so weak for him, but suddenly you find yourself stumbling forward. He catches you easily, circling his arms around your waist, as if this is something he’s been doing for years, and then his lips are on yours and the feeling is dizzying, the rest of the world completely fading away.

It’s maybe the best kiss you’ve ever had, and yet, as soon as he pulls away, all the thoughts from before come back in 100 miles an hour, and you step back.

“I’m sorry,” you croak out, and his smile immediately fades, a frown appearing in return. “But we probably shouldn’t have done that.”

“Why?” he questions, trying to reach out to you, but you take another step back. “Cause, you’re gonna work with the kids, and it’s not professional, and I could lose my internship if they found out, and…”

“Wait,” Carter interrupts. “I wasn’t aware this wasn’t allowed?”

You swallow thickly, trying to regain your composure. You’re not technically sure it’s not allowed, and deep in your heart, you know losing your internship isn’t really what you’re scared of.

Guys like Carter just don’t go for girls like you, and you’re scared of getting hurt.

“I’m sorry,” you whimper again. To Carter’s credit, he takes it in stride, and sighs, before nodding.

“Okay,” he says. “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow at school, then?”

You nod, and watch as he sends you another weak smile, then stuffs his hands in his pockets and walks down your driveway, back to his car.

You’d known you were going down a treacherous slope with this one, but you hadn’t expected falling would hurt this much, this soon.

Interview the muse!

“Sweeeet. Can’t even remember the last time I was interviewed! Bring it on!”

► ARE YOU SINGLE? ➭ “Nope! Believe it or not, this guy’s dating the most incredible woman in all the multiverse! Lemme tell you about her-” [THE REST OF THIS ANSWER WILL BE SKIPPED, DUE TO LACK OF SPACE] ► ARE YOU HAPPY? ➭ “I mean, yeah, I’m generally happy. But forcing me to stop mid-gush wasn’t the best move on your part.” ► ARE YOU ANGRY? ➭ “When provoked.” ► ARE YOUR PARENTS STILL MARRIED? ➭ “Do legal bindings still apply when you’re burning in hell?”

NINE FACTS.

► BIRTH PLACE ➭ “Santa Destroy ER. Fired outta my mom’s vag, caught by the doc with the baseball mitt. Y’know, the usual.” ► HAIR COLOR ➭ “Black.” ► EYE COLOR ➭ “Bright blue.” ► BIRTHDAY ➭ “December 13th.” ► MOOD ➭ “Bit of a swinger, but I’m usually pretty upbeat, and easy to get fired up, whether for better or worse.” ► GENDER ➭ “I’m all man.” ► SUMMER OR WINTER ➭ “Summer means more eye candy, and winter holds some bad memories for me... but the holidays rock (now that I’ve got people to celebrate with), and the cold makes me Rosa’s personal heater. So, yeah, winter.” ► MORNING OR AFTERNOON ➭ “Afternoon. Mornings are for sleeping in, whenever you can get the chance.”

EIGHT QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE.

► ARE YOU IN LOVE? ➭ “I went on about Rosa for ten minutes before you cut me off. Do I really gotta answer this?” ► DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? ➭ “I fall pretty damn hard, pretty damn fast. But love at first sight? I think that’s one cliche that ain’t for me.” ► WHO ENDED YOUR LAST RELATIONSHIP? ➭ “She left me. She disappeared; Without a word, for a month, and knowing my issues with this shit. She had reasons, yeah, but... It still hurt. I never got a real apology, either — the old city took her for good before she could. Whatever. I’m better off, now.” ► HAVE YOU EVER BROKEN SOMEONE’S HEART? ➭ “... Once, I think. Shinobu Jacobs. Former-adversary-turned-friend — if I can even call her that. She came onto me outta nowhere, but she was too young, and... I dunno, too much like me at the time? I turned her down, and... Well, I never saw her again. Heard she’s doing well in the new games, though. That’s good.” ► ARE YOU AFRAID OF COMMITMENTS? ➭ “Not anymore.” ► HAVE YOU HUGGED SOMEONE WITHIN THE LAST WEEK? ➭ “Hell yeah! Used to lie to myself, say that hugs were sentimental garbage I didn’t need. Boy, was I ever wrong on that!” ► HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SECRET ADMIRER? ➭ “Yup. When you’re a hometown celebrity / urban legend worshiped by way too many, you get more than the fair share of fans. Most of them... wanted me dead. Because why wouldn’t they?” ► HAVE YOU EVER BROKEN YOUR OWN HEART? ➭ “... Probably... Yeah. Again and again, I’d bet.”

SIX CHOICES.

► LOVE OR LUST ➭ “Shocking as it’s gonna sound, coming from me... Lust, even at its most intense, can only ever be temporary. But love, if it’s real and handled right, lasts a lifetime and beyond. You tell me which one’s the better deal.” ► LEMONADE OR ICED TEA ➭ “If I’m drinking tea, I want it hot. Gimme a lemonade to cool down, any day.” ► CATS OR DOGS ➭ “Cats. There’s just no debate on this shit. And if you even start to utter ‘but they don’t love you like dogs do,’ I’m going to suplex you. You’re just an idiot who doesn’t know how cats work, okay?” ► A FEW BEST FRIENDS OR MANY REGULAR FRIENDS ➭ “I mean, I’m kind of a social butterfly. Not about to put a cap on friendship. But when it comes down to it... well, the best supporting casts focus on quality over quantity, don’t they?” ► WILD NIGHT OUT OR ROMANTIC NIGHT IN ➭ “A year or two back, I would’ve told you ‘wild night out’ with zero hesitation. And I still love ‘em. But... c’mon. Of course, I’m hooked onto romantic nights in.” ► DAY OR NIGHT ➭ “Speak of the devil... Night. It’s just a world of aesthetic, okay? It’s where the real fun happens!”

FOUR HAVE YOU EVERS.

► BEEN CAUGHT SNEAKING OUT ➭ “Nah. Either the people I was with didn’t care to catch me, or they couldn’t.” ► FALLEN DOWN/UP THE STAIRS ➭ “Hasn’t everybody? Er, minus everybody who can fly.” ► WANTED SOMETHING/SOMEONE SO BADLY IT HURT? ➭ “Story of my life...” ► WANTED TO DISAPPEAR ➭ “... Story of my life. Up until recently, I mean!”

FOUR PREFERENCES.

► SMILE OR EYES ➭ “Gotta go with the window to the soul, even if a good smile from you-know-who... fucking magical.” ► SHORTER OR TALLER ➭ "Rosa makes fun of my height, and I wish she was shorter because of it.” He’s lying. ► INTELLIGENCE OR ATTRACTION ➭ “I shoot for relatability, above all else. And more often than not, I don’t think I’m an intelligent guy. Attraction, easy.” ► HOOK-UP OR RELATIONSHIP ➭ “Getting a bonafide love interest was the biggest item on the bucket list since I could write a bucket list.”

FAMILY.

► DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GET ALONG ➭ “Whew... That’s, uh... Well, Henry’s officially dead to me, and he’s gonna be literally dead, if he ever shows his face here, again. But then there’s Jeane. We’re... we’re working things out, after everything. So, I don’t really know what to tell you.” ► WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE A “MESSED UP LIFE” ➭ “Oh, good, an easy one. Yes. I could also laugh hysterically at the massive understatement.” ► HAVE YOU EVER RAN AWAY FROM HOME ➭ “After Jeane murdered my parents, I never even looked at that house, again. Not like it’d ever really felt like home, to begin with.” ► HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN KICKED OUT ➭ “You’d be surprised.”

FRIENDS.

► DO YOU SECRETLY HATE ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS ➭ “The hell kinda question is that? If I hated one of my friends, they wouldn’t fucking be one of my friends. Hell, they probably wouldn’t be alive for much longer!” ► DO YOU CONSIDER ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS GOOD FRIENDS ➭ “Yup, even if it’s a one-way street. After the life I’ve had, I learned to grab hold of the people I get.” ► WHO IS YOUR BEST FRIEND ➭ “Rosa, obviously. Close second - or first, if we’re keeping things strictly platonic - is a tie between Marceline and Peridot.” ► WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU ➭ “...” Travis suddenly looks guilty. “Strictly speaking... no one. There’s just something I feel I gotta keep to myself. Literally everything else is fair game, but... I can’t have the people I love knowing how I truly see the world — or rather, worlds — around me. Trust me, it’s better that you don’t ask further. This interview’s over.”

tagged by: nobody! tagging: whoever took the time to read all of this!

#It's Meme Time #No More Musings #((GOD this took forever... And I REALLY hope you guys like it!))#((Travis's knack for monologuing made this so much harder than it needed to be.))

🎵 Travlyn!!!!

🎵 Oh Girl, You're The Devil - MIKA

(She's a girl with a bag full of hearts and a devil's eyes / Crazy kids in the wild on the run to the county line / Shotgun for a tongue but says just what she likes / Oh, girl you're the devil / Oh, girl you got the devil inside)

And

(And I said follow me / Whoever you want to be / Don't care where you where you go / As long as you stay with me / And I said follow me / Whoever you want to be / Don't care where you where you go / As long as you stay with me)

Hell. Yeah.

So instead of going with one of the songs in my personal travlyn list, I decided to pick something unique and this song represents what this ship means to me. This song is for MCD version of them btw!

First bit: This is obviously about Travis's first impression of Katelyn and while at the time he doesn't realize, it was the inciting incident of Travis deciding that this woman is special to him. I wouldn't say Love At First sight but it's essentially that. And the use of devil is purposeful, because the stigma of Travis being a child of a literal demon, it's a bit of irony that the woman he ends up falling for is a devil of a person (in this context, she's a fiery woman who challenges expectation and loves All of him, rather than just the human cover he puts up) and it's just a cute kind of funny okay. I'm being fake deep right here, it just feels like something Travis would jokingly say.

Second bit: this verse is actually the chorus and I love it because it represents the scene in season 3, where Katelyn makes the proposal for Travis to take a break from this Enki stuff and follow her home instead. I say proposal because she literally asking him to come with her! It represents her acceptance of him, even after seeing everything he tries desperately hide from the world, of the fact he is indecisive and doesn't want to actually fight, and lastly.... of her love for him, with the lyric (and joking insertion) "as long as you stay with me".

All in all, this song is jokey and sweet side of their relationship that reflects their inciting incidents of love.

Send me a ♫ + a character’s name and I will respond with a song that reminds me of them. Send a ♫ + a ship and I will do the same.

can you rank the Grammy performances? i was not very impressed by a lot of people.

I got this ask earlier, so I had all day to review all the performances and rank it. (I found performances online because I didn’t watch the Grammys, but I caught some performers during the show)

Janelle Monae: EASILY the best performance of the night! She came and showed tf out! I wish she was a bit stronger with the live vocals, but in terms of a performance and visuals, she dominated.

Cardi B: I was living for her three looks, but her first official solo Grammy performance (last year was with Bruno), she KILLED IT! You can tell she put a lot of preparation into this performance and I’m proud of her.

Brandi Carlile: She made me pay attention to her and that’s SO RARE for me if you’re not Bey. She intrigued the hell out of me due to her vocals and lyrics of “The Joke”. I plan to listen to her entire discography. Great job!

Chloe x Halle: All I can say is they had the BEST VOCAL MOMENT OF THE NIGHT! It is very evident that Bey is mentoring tf out of them. The reason they are fourth is because four is iconic to Bey and I kinda wanted their performance to be longer. I also wanted them to perform their own songs, but I’ll gladly take this moment. Now everyone knows they have vocals!

Alicia Keys Medley: The younger generation didn’t know Alicia Keys is THAT GIRL on the piano with 15 Grammys under her belt. She proved that she is a FORCE. The transitions with the songs were so smooth and she sang them with ease.

St. Vincent & Dua Lipa: Hardly any of my friends like St. Vincent; and now even more people are in love with 2x Grammy winner Dua Lipa. Their mash up of their hit songs blended so well and had undeniable chemistry while on stage. I like them both.

H.E.R.: While typing this, I actually bumped her up because she was really solid in her performance. I wanted her to perform a different song; however, she impressed me with her vocals, and even shocked me with her wins!

Aretha Franklin Tribute (Andra Day, Fantasia, Yolanda Adams): WOW they had a lot of vocals, which was expected. I do think they were appropriate to do an Aretha Franklin Tribute; however, it was FAR too short to even be considered a tribute, and you didn’t need all three of them doing one song…

Dan + Shay: I like their song Tequila, but this performance was rather underwhelming in terms of the entire show. The only memorable thing about their performance was the note he hit at the end… but less was more because it was too much.

Lady Gaga: I thought this was a very intense performance and I didn’t understand it. It was more Gaga than her character, Ally. I wish she transitioned into something else with that much energy because it felt like she was over singing and trying too hard at times. Good effort.

Diana Ross: I LOVE her ensemble! The reason she is so low on this list is because she REALLY didn’t get a lot of screen time to actually show what she is capable of. It felt like she was promoting Diamond Diana and having everyone wish this stunning diva an early birthday, rather than performing.

Kacey Musgraves: If I’m being honest, I only remember saying I liked her dress. It was a nice dress, and she sounded great, but this performance was just SO underwhelming from someone who literally swept the Grammys with FOUR wins, INCLUDING AOTY. I wanted a lot more.

Dolly Parton Tribute (Katy Perry, Kacey Musgraves, Miley Cyrus, Maren Moris, Little Big Town): I don’t know why Katy Perry was there to be quite honest??? She felt out of place to me. I felt Kacey Musgraves trying to help Katy more than them doing a tribute, so I would’ve dropped both of them, especially considering Dolly Parton walked right on out after them and blew them away vocally and had more presence than both of them combined. Miley can sing REALLY well, and she held her own tbh. When Little Big Town came out, I told my sister “THAT is how you do curly hair! Take that Post Malone!”. Anyway, Dolly could’ve done this tribute by herself, or with the company of Miley Cyrus. Everyone else really took a backseat.

Shawn Mendes & Miley Cyrus: I’m SO tired of that In My Blood song and the remix was just entirely unnecessary. It’s the same arrangement and performance over and over again. One thing I hate about artists is when they get too comfortable with one sound. You gotta know how and when to change it up. Also, he has other songs??? Why did he go back to In My Blood??? Thank you next.

Post Malone & Red Hot Chili Peppers: I was pleasantly shocked with his vocals in the beginning, but then everything turned sour FAST. I don’t know how or why the Grammys decided to put them together when they didn’t even perform together… They just shared the same stage. It was just a mess.

Camila Cabello: She didn’t have the worst performance of the night, and she was FAR from the best. God knows everybody was TIRED of that damn song. Every time someone joined her, I was like ok is this over yet? it is? good.

Travis Scott: EASILY the worst male performance of the night. I did not care for it at ALL. When he started performing, I couldn’t even hear him properly. Then the ambush happened around the stage (it was planned so don’t worry), which reduced his visibility and vocals even more. It was sloppy and poorly executed.

Jennifer Lopez (Motown Tribute): Oh my GOD This was BEYOND terrible. Whoever said “let’s have a Motown tribute and invite JENNIFER LOPEZ to do it” needs to have a serious mental check. There are people I can think of who could do a significantly better MOTOWN tribute. It felt like this was a Jennifer Lopez performance at a Las Vegas residency as opposed to a legitimate Motown tribute. I was WILDLY disappointed. We know she’s a great performer, but this was not the time to be “J Lo”. I don’t want her to do another tribute ever again, unless it is for Selena, which she portrayed damn near perfectly.

#long post #Grammys #review #Bey was not there but she would've had the best performance of the night had she attended

I’ll Protect You part 3

Don’t be shy to request things! if you request please request in my asks, it will be much easier for me to keep up with them thank you!

Part 1, Part 2

Jughead x Andrews!reader

Word count: 1944

Warnings: Mentions of blood, Spoilers for season 2 episode 3

Y/N: Your Name

A/N: I should have posted this sooner but here's part 3! (Not my photo, credit to whoever made it! Text picture is mine ^_^)

“It was full on Carrie. Midge covered in Moose’s blood, screaming like a banshee. It was insane.” Kevin told us as we all sat in the lounge. “Kev, what were you even doing there? You could’ve been shot too.” Archie said walking in. “I was night-jogging, you know, as one does, and suddenly I hear gunshots.” I knew that Kevin was hiding something. “Can we just agree there’s a killer on the loose?” My brother asked. “With terrible aim.” Jug mumbled. “Jughead, he killed Ms. Grundy.” “We don’t know these crimes are related.” Betty said and even though she’s right that we don’t know for sure they’re related, there’s a pretty good chance that they are. “Guys, can we focus on what matters here? Midge and Moose are alive. Archie and Y/N’s dad survived. The Matchlerette starts tonight. You’re all coming over to watch.” “There’s a shooter terrorizing the town.” Jug said. “You really want us to watch a gross dating show?” I asked causing jug to smile at me. “What I want is for you guys to meet my dad officially. Back in New York, my dad was always in his study, doing bad things, as it turns out. I’m tired of closed doors.” Veronica sighed. “I need to know my dad’s life and he needs to know mine.” “Well, we’ll be there V. Can’t wait.” Betty said with a smile. I looked at Jughead and we both shared a look of annoyance knowing we had to go and watch a stupid dating show. “Thank you.” Veronica said with a smile. “Hey, Andrews, we’re going to the hospital to see Moose. You coming?” Reggie asked my brother. “Yeah, for sure. I’ll see you tonight Ronnie. Y/N I’ll see you at home later?” He asked. “Probably, tell Moose I hope he gets better soon for me ok?” “You got it.” Then he left with the team to go see poor Moose. “I better go too, I was supposed to meet my peer mentor at Southside High half an hour ago.” Jug said getting up and walking to the door. “Wait, are? Are you sure you can’t keep going here?” I asked. “I’ll be fine.” He said and kissed me to reassure me. Jug left and I turned around to see B and V left and Kevin was just walking out, I grabbed my things and caught up with him. “Okay, it’s just us now. Night-jogging?” I asked. “Yeah. I’m trying to get in shape for wrestling.” I gave him a look that said ‘bullshit’. “Okay, fine, I was cruising Fox Forest. But I’m going out for wrestling. I had to tell my dad I was jogging.” “He believed you?” “Yeah, he wants to believe me.” Kevin answered stopping at his locker. “Better not let Betty find out you know she hates that, but in this case I think she’s right. Moose and Midge were shot literally 300 yards from Fox Forest, and the person that did it is probably the one that shot my dad, they’re still out there. Please don’t go back out there till he’s caught?” “Okay, fine. Scout’s honor.” I didn’t believe him so I was going to have to tell Betty since I know she’ll make sure he doesn’t, I don’t want to tell her but I can’t keep an eye on him with that guy still out there. The bell rang and we went to our class.

I was sitting in the kitchen with dad and Archie, he was talking about what happened with Moose and Midge. “Moose and Midge described him. Same guy that shot you and knocked Y/N out, same hood, same eyes. Dad, it’s him.” I shuddered a bit when Archie mentioned when happened. “If Sheriff Keller’s not gonna take that seriously, I think we should be ready. Like, maybe we should buy a gun, just to be armed in case.” I choked on my drink when he said gun. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy, okay? Ease up on that. We’re gonna let the cops do their job.” “ “Armed?” What the hell are you talking about Arch?” I asked, is my brother crazy? “We don’t keep guns in this house okay? So, just cool it.” I get Archie is scared but a gun? We don’t need that!

After that happened we went up to our rooms to get ready for V’s little get together. When we got there Archie was still in his own world. He was sitting in a chair while me Juggie and V were on the couch, B was sitting in the other chair closest to us. “Why don’t you sit down next to me, loverboy?” Veronica said. “Archie?” I asked when he didn’t respond to her. “I’m sorry, this thing with Moose it’s like nobody cares! Dad keeps saying, “Leave it to Sheriff Keller.” I’m like yeah, he did such a great job of catching Jason’s murderer. Oh wait, I’m sorry that was us.” “Inside voices please.” V whispered. “No, don’t stop him. Archie going Travis Bickle is my favorite Archie yet.” Jug said mouth full of popcorn. “Doesn’t it feel like he’s targeting us? I mean specifically? I don’t want anyone else getting hurt.” Archie looked at me saying that last part. “When we had a getaway on the Cape, all of us got together and hired private security to keep out the riffraff, as an added layer of protection.” Veronica said, yeah like we can just hire a bodyguard. I rolled my eyes a bit. “I loved that house.” “Daddy.” We all looked at Veronica’s parents. “We’re on our way to dinner at the club.” Mrs. Lodge said. “I wanted to meet your friends first.” Mr. Lodge smiled at us. “Great, thank you. This is Betty Cooper.” “Hi” Betty waved. “Nice to meet you.” “And this is Jughead Jones.” “Hi.” Jug shook his hand. “You know my dad.” “I do. Good man, he values family. I hope his return come sooner rather than later.” “Yeah so do we.” Jug said. “And Daddy this is Y/N Andrews and her older brother-” “Archie Andrews. The boy who’s captured my daughter’s heart.” “Daddy.” “Uh, it’s nice to meet you, sir.” Archie shook his hand, I smiled at how nervous my brother was. “Ah, please call me Hiram. Nice to meet you as well Y/N.” He said smiling at me. “You as well.” I smiled back. “I couldn’t help but overhear your discussion and I, um I understand your frustration with Sheriff Keller. As for someone who’s had his own share of run-ins with the law, I can say that the police aren’t always the solution. Sometimes we need to take matters into our own hands. We need to protect ourselves.” Oh no, this is definitely going to give Archie some bad ideas. “We’re going to lose our table.” Mrs. Lodge points out. “Oh, yes, of course. Hey, it was nice meeting all of you.” He smiles. “Oh, and Archie?” “Yes?” “Why don’t you come over for dinner this week? I look forward to seeing what you come up with to save Riverdale.”

The next day school went as normal as it could with my brother starting a ‘watch club’ as Weatherbee liked to call it. But that night Archie was hanging out with Reggie doing who knows what and I grabbed a teapot and a few other thing to take to Juggie at the Red and Black. “Oh.” I said as I opened the door smiling at my boyfriend, walking in a closing it. “Y/N?” He said getting up. “So this is the Red and Black.” “You cannot be here at night unless you are armed.” “Well I am.” I giggled as I picked up the teapot. “Okay, honestly? I hit dirt. Do you remember how no one could explain the local component of Clifford Blossom’s drug pipeline? That jingle-jangle, the stuff Moose and Midge were on?” “Mmhmm.” I nodded. “It’s coming from here. My dad said the Serpents never deal in hard drugs, but the Ghoulies do.” “Well then do you think it’s a good idea writing about them while you’re going to school here?” “Are you worried about me?” “of course I am jug!” “I thought you liked me reckless.” He smirked and kissed me. The kiss got a little too heated too fast. The door creaked open causing us to pull apart quickly but not before the person saw us making out. “Oh sorry guy, I didn’t see the sock on the door.” I turned. “Toni?” “Y/N? Hey how are you?” She asked putting her box down. “You two know each other?” “Yeah, we’ve been friends for a while now.” “Haven’t seen you since summer.” She said. “So what are you two doing in here?” She asked with a smirk. “Believe it or not Y/N is actually my girlfriend.” “No way, since when?” “Since a few weeks ago.” “Hey, look what Y/N got us.” Jug said pick up the teapot. Toni picked up one from the box she brought in. “Great minds.” We all talked for a bit more till me and Toni decided to leave Jug alone since I knew he was going to stay late anyway. “So Jug doesn’t know that you hung out with the Serpents huh?” I sighed. “No, if he found out he’d tell my brother who’d tell my dad and I’d be dead.” “Well I won’t tell him and I’ll make sure Sweet Pea won’t either but you know he’ll find out eventually, can’t hide it forever Y/N.” “I know but I can try, I hid the jacket from my family for this long even though I told FP I couldn’t keep it he made me just in case I changed my mind.” “Will you?” “I don’t know Toni, even if I did it’d be so much harder to hide it. I know you guys helped me when my mom left and you guys are awesome to be around, nothing like everyone says you guys are but god I can’t imagine how pissed my dad would be.” “Hey, I get it. We all know you’re there for us if we ever need help, nothing big of course, and the same for you. We’ve got your back.” “Thanks, well I should go before my dad wonders where I am, text me sometime, you have my number use it for something other than Serpent business.” “You got it, see ya around.” She smiled and we went our separate ways.

It was the next morning and I woke up to text from Juggie saying he was in a motorcycle accident. I got up and rushed over to his house with my school supplies. “Can’t you take a day off?” I asked while cleaning its cuts up. “It’s not that bad. Just some cuts and bruises.” “Were you wearing your helmet or being a rebel?” “It was just around the block. Don’t blame me, blame the pothole.” “Well, I thought you were going to say you got jumped by the Ghoulies.” “The Serpents won’t allow that. They’ve got Jugs back, even though he’s not a member. It’s just family loyalty.” I nodded at Toni, knowing what she was getting at. “Great, well I’ve got school so Toni, will you keep an eye on him?” I asked grabbing my bag. “All over it.” “Thanks, I’ll see you later Juggie.” After I left I texted Toni, I knew something was up with Jug.

I can’t believe Jughead got jumped and didn’t tell me! I just hope he’ll at least sit with them now that he knows how dangerous those assholes are.
