“I can see the sun light up the sky.” — Option B2.1: Yellow Topaz

[Make sure to please read Chapter 25 of Red Lights first, before you continue.]

It’s been about a week since Red Lights ended. You haven’t done much since then except for contacting a bunch of law firms and wearing the yellow topaz necklace you bought. You’ve done your best to not spend too much time with anyone from the show—which worked semi-good for Hyunjin and you.

However, there is someone that hasn’t left your mind since then. Maybe, he even was one of the reasons why you quit in the first place. Both because he encouraged you to search for a lawyer but also because you realised you should have given him more chances.

Unfortunately, you don’t have any of Felix’s contact details. The only person you could ask is Jisung but this would be weird on so many levels, right?

So, as pathetic as you are, you created an account again on that stupid dating website, hoping to find the boy with the freckles there.

On the first day, you get bombarded with dick pics from disgusting guys. On the second day, you are close to giving up. But on the third day, you finally see Felix’s profile. You check approximately two hundred times that you swipe to the right direction, now patiently waiting for him to match and message you.

Some hours pass by, you’re already becoming hopeless, until you receive a text from Mr sunshine personified.

[Felix 17:29]: lol what are you doin here?

You get that he must be surprised to see you here. However, this doesn’t hold you back from replying.

[You 17:31]: looking for you perhaps

You wish you could see his face right now, although you probably wouldn’t get anything but a scoff from him in this situation.

[Felix 17:32]: stop messing with me

[You 17:33]: I am not. I’m just a coward who didn’t know how to approach you instead and it was a little too embarrassing to ask Jisung for your number

You’re getting a little nervous, wondering if it’s weird to text him like this—or at all. It definitely is. But you wanted to be bold this time.

[Felix 17:33]: did he tell you about him and I?

[You 17:33]: Yeah but no issue with that sunshine

[You 17:34]: so can I take you on a date?

He blushes once when reading the nickname. He blushes again when he sees the second message.

[Felix 17:36]: what about the winner of red lights? did you break up?

You start typing, contemplating how to explain the circumstances to him.

[You 17:37]: there was no winner, i quit the show. mostly because of you.

Felix’s eyes widen, even though you can’t see him right now. He wonders if you're hinting at what he said about suing Han Productions or if this is about him and you.

[Felix 17:39]: ?????

[Felix 17:40]: WHAT

You chuckle, finding him once again so adorable.

[You 17:41]: yeah so will you let me pick you up and take you on a date?

Felix stumbles out of his bed, sprinting to his wardrobe.

[Felix 17:42]: I’m already getting ready, ma’am

💻

You take Felix out for dinner, although he emphasises that he will insist on paying right after greeting you. Despite you throwing him out the show, it doesn’t feel awkward in the slightest. You don't know each other that well but have always shared that intense connection with one another.

“The food is great,” Felix says and you agree. You spend a few hours inside the restaurant, enjoying a five course meal. Talking to him feels natural, too. For the time being with him you forget about being an introvert. He makes jokes, asks you deep questions, tells you a lot about his childhood and family.

Once he paid for both of you—despite your protest since you were the one to ask him out—you decide to take a walk through Yeouido Hangang Park, looking at the beautiful view of the night sky. You can even see a few stars up there and you soon realise how much they remind you of Felix’s freckles.

His fingers are intertwined with yours, as you keep wandering around with him, catching a glimpse of the river at night.

“So, you really left the show to pick me in the end, huh?” Felix teases you.

You squeeze his hand tighter, “Yeah, sorry for the inconvenience. I had wished the show would have given us more moments together. Then the decision would have been easier although I’ve secretly known all along.”

He agrees with you. Felix is so happy that you reached out to him. His heart broke when you voted him out of Red Lights before even getting enough time together with you. But this doesn’t matter anymore. You’re here with him now. Ready to fall in love, ready to see where things lead to.

“Maybe that’s a sign that we shouldn’t rush things… I’d love to take you out again, spend more time with you,” Felix tells you with a soft smile.

“Me, too. Absolutely. But we can take things slowly, for sure,” you say.

“Yeah of course, we will take things slowly, yeah.”

Half an hour later you find yourself inside Felix’s bedroom, ripping layer after layer of his clothings off his body. He sinks down on his bed, as you start straddling his thighs, just like you did that night in February. It arouses you even more when you think of the fact that the man underneath you is by now bare naked, while you’re still fully clothed.

You dive in for a kiss, feeling his lips pressed against yours. Felix lets out a whimper, before he slips his tongue inside, exploring your mouth. You start with small movements, your covered crotch rubbing against his hardening dick. You feel yourself getter wetter, your own juices soaking through the underwear as well as Felix’s precum drenching the fabric, too.

“Fuck taking things slowly– I can’t get enough of you.”

Felix grunts, when you drop to your knees, now on the bedroom floor, as you look up at him. The palm of his hand finds your head, playing a little with your hair.

“Let me make you feel good, sunshine,” you say, before circling your hand around the base of his cock that is already rock hard, just for you. Giving him a few strokes, you make sure to keep your gaze fixated on his, watching him lose the last piece of his sanity thanks to you.

A string of saliva lands on his dick, before you bring your tongue into play, smearing it over his tip and shaft. You guide your head down next, starting to bob up and down, when you take him all in. He feels so good inside your warm mouth. Felix lets out moan after moan, when he’s inside of you and you're glad to listen to the sweet melody.

“You’re such a good boy, Lix,” you whisper, when you let go of him for a few seconds.

You get back to business, his hand still guiding you the way he enjoys. Feeling him twitching, you continue your movements, until you sense him reach his high. You encourage Felix by looking up at him, nodding, and squeezing his thigh a little.

Hot white ropes of cum hit your throat, as your mouth milks him empty, squeezes even the last drop out of him. You let go of his cock, once he’s come down again. Felix helps you up, before he passionately kisses you. The next thing you feel is your dress getting pulled over your head, leaving you in your lingerie.

All of a sudden, he grabs you by the waist and your back hits the mattress. Felix is hovering above you, aligning his mouth with your ear, as you hear him whisper, “How about we see how much of a good girl you can be, hm?”

[bronx-bomber87]

We're off to episode 3 another fantastic one for our fav couple. Let's get started shall we?

2x03 The Bet

Tim and Lucy are getting ready to head out when she asks how his night was. Seems like an innocent enough question by her. So Tim is honest. Lucy's response is sassy to say the least. Being as comfortable as possible in its delivery. Tim isn't too happy with her reply. Let me say this, Lucy is the ONLY person Tim would ever allow to talk to him like this LOL No way in hell he would indulge anyone else to even broach the subject. But then no one else would have the guts to like Lucy either. She is always the exception for him.

Once again Lucy is doing it for his own good. To shake him out of his routine. Help him move on. Everything this woman ever does is in his best interest. Tim’s deep breath in the first gif when she starts up is so funny. Like he is bracing himself for whatever Lucy barrage is headed his way. He knows she is going to say something he doesn't want to hear LOL She tries to broach the subject lightly but is instantly shot down. Now he isn't mad so much as annoyed which is progress believe it or not haha

Lucy clams up pretty quickly after he mentions jogging behind the shop all day. Her face is hilarious. Lucy has learned to take her foot off the gas when need be. She opened the door a crack to this convo and shut it quickly. It’s like she pokes the bear gauges his reaction then strategizes for a bit on how to better approach him later. She is no where near done meddling in this matter.

We rejoin them at the station booking a couple of sex workers. This is where Lucy decides to bring this subject up once again. The lack of personal space in this scene is primo. Personal space? Never heard of her.... I love it so much. My goodness they are awfully close to one another in this scene hehe She sees this as her window and is right back at it. Lucy is saying she thinks she can help him. He looks at her like she’s insane. But he allows her to continue. Almost bemused at her confidence to set him up properly. It becomes a point of pride for Lucy. The more he seems to doubt her the more she wants to prove him wrong. What else is new? Haha

This quickly goes from setting him up to a work flirt. I mean look at those two above. They're not subtle in the least...All their work flirts stem from challenging one another. This whole situation goes from helping Tim go out on a date to a competition. Because well it’s them LOL They’re both so damn competitive...That’s literally what this entire thing boils down to. Both of them digging in their heels and not relenting. Thinking they're right and the other is in the wrong.

Tim has grown a lot I keep saying but it’s true and I'm just so proud of him. Last season Tim wouldn’t have allowed Lucy anywhere near his personal/love life. Let alone make a bet about it with her. They’re both SO cocky and confident they’re going to win as well. They decide on the the winner's spoils. For Tim he gets 50 push ups after each call. Lucy gets the short sleeves she was robbed of.

Tim agrees and says she has to pay if he does this. Lucy doesn’t even care and hastily agrees to this. Just wants so badly to be in short sleeves. These two are ridiculous fools and I love them for it. Also the way Lucy looks at him after they make their bet above is so cute. Little smitten kitten this one. As I've said before as transparent as glass. She is so adorable in how she looks at him. If he looked next to him he would see the heart eyes being lodged his way. Also lets pay back attention to the lack of space. *sigh* I just love them so much.

Tim does what he does best. Getting under Lucy’s skin as much as possible. In a way only he knows how. Since Lucy is paying he’s taking Rachel to most expensive restaurant possible. He's such a shit haha I adore him though. The work flirt continues. We haven’t had one in a bit this definitely constitutes as one. Tim going on about the expensive food and wine. You can see the irritation all over her face. Eric and Melissa are masters at conveying so much with a look. Right now she wants to shove him off that chair.

Lucy is trying to turn it back in her favor. Saying how romantic it is. That he wouldn't have chosen that if he wanted his date to fail. Their banter is unrivaled. I enjoy their verbal sparring so much. Tim is ever so cocky of course. He thinks he has this in the bag. That Lucy is destined to stay in long sleeves till her probation is up. Well if he has anything to do with it she will.

He is more excited at the prospect of Lucy doing those push-ups and winning this bet than the date itself. Oh Timothy. His damn cute smile in that last gif though above. Lord help me. I swear he only smiles that way with her. Amazing the amount of chemistry these two have without even touching. Testament to how good it is.

I don’t know what’s funnier. The fact that Lucy is casing his date or that she dragged Jackson along for it LMAO Kills me. ‘Mama needs to get into short sleeves’ I’m dying haha Also Jackson telling her how weird this is. I loved their friendship so much. Down to do and help each other with whatever.

Tim crashing and burning on this date is too funny. He needs an ice breaker. What does he do to rectify the situation? Brings up his work wife. Yes baby, that’ll fix the current train wreck you have going on. Smh. He does look damn good though. Feast for the eyes and all that. I will say I did like Rachel. She was the perfect person to get him back into the dating world. A Lucy 2.0 you could say. Because she challenges him and calls him on his crap too. I mean look at that second gif. Got him to go from saying Chen to Lucy with a pointed look.

I like Rachel for what she represented for him. Showing him he could have a functional relationship post Isabel. I think she was very important in shaping Tim into who he becomes in that regard. I hope this doesn’t sound as mean as it may come off. Rachel was a means to an end for Chenford. A good one but one none the less. Serious enough to show Tim he was capable of that again but not enough that he would leave LA for it.(But that’s much farther in the future for s2.) I will say I do love what Rachel does for him in the long run. I didn’t hate their scenes by any means. They had their purpose. I.e. Lucy who will eventually win this bet as we will see later on.

Lucy and Jackson continue to watch the date. It looks like Tim is flailing and Rachel is off put. Tim admits the bet he has with Lucy. That he wants to win. Rachel flirts and says being with her isn't a win? Then they start to click a bit. Tim says he can help Rachel with her civil standbys. She asks what he’d like in return? Tim being Tim knows Lucy is watching. Has Rachel slap him in the face and leave. Lucy is crushed and convinced she will be in long sleeves the rest of her probationary period haha

Oh Lucy you know why you care if Tim dates LOL Just last episode you recorded an old ass book for this man. But it is far too early for you to understand the true meaning of those actions just yet. She cares so much and is so empathetic. She will do things to her own detriment. Like this date haha Jackson’s reply is the best though. ‘You just want everyone to be happy. That’s a good quality’ He was such a good friend. ❤️

I love that Lucy couldn’t stand the idea of Rachel thinking badly of Tim. So she made sure early the next morning to visit her and rectify that. Almost like she couldn't move on with her day until she did this. That even if they didn’t work out romantically, she had to come and defend Tim to her. Lucy has seen his good side more than anyone else. To her there is no one better to defend his name than her. So that’s exactly what she did. Gah I love it. She’s so loyal.

Lucy looks down and sees a pair of boots. Then Tim does his glorious entrance. A shot we all love let's be honest. He's all wet from the shower and in a low hanging towel. Phew lord. Lucy looks a little thirsty at first. Then she turns her brain back on. (I can’t blame her girl I'm thirsty from seeing him too ahaha) Lucy confidently looks him in the eye and says ‘Short sleeves’ then takes off with a glorious smile and stride out of Rachel's place and back to her car.

Tim is so mad he’s lost this bet he doesn’t even care Lucy is seeing him in a towel. Or the fact that he’s there cause he spent the night with her friend. He’s more annoyed she won the bet LOL Classic. He thought he was going to have his cake and eat it too. Sorry Tim that’s a hard no haha This ep was one big work flirt for them both and I loved it.

~~~~~

Side notes- Meh didn’t really have much. Was cool to have couple Castle peeps on the show Seamus and Jon retuning. And Wopez was cute with his mom and stuff but nothing major. Jackson' SL with Smitty was really good tragic but good.

Forgot to thank everyone last review my apologies. Always so very thankful to those that like/comment (I adore comments)/ reblog and such you all are the best. :)

Fic Tag Game!

I was tagged by @veloursdor, @mischievouschan4, and @lilredghost. Y'all probably forgot but I DID NOT. I've just been sad and mopey because I'm working when it's dark out with the time change and it's pitch black by the time I'm home, so I haven't gotten anything done!

How many works do you have on a03?

Ten

2. What’s your ao3 word count?

118,260!!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently just Star Wars! And I don’t foresee that changing. When I first got into fanfic I wrote for Bleach, Final Fantasy VII (oh my god there were song fics, what the fuck), Harry Potter, Marvel Cinematic Universe (I had forgotten about that completely. Hopefully I forget again), and The Hobbit.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Hey this feels like a war crime, actually. They’re all obikin except the first.

Lady of the Rocks, with 1,125 kudos… my Hobbit fic that hasn’t been touched in like 6 years.

Bitter Honey (BEE FIC, BEE FIC, BEE FIC!! Sits at 447 right now)

Anakin Skywalker, Witch (420, nice)

Living with the Present (402)

Tapio (128)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! Although frequently very late. I got bad about it this summer because this summer sucked, emotionally. But I love it when authors respond to my comments so, as hard as it is for me to believe, I imagine that people enjoy when I respond to their comments and try my best to do it.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don’t think any of them have an angsty ending. One of the Harry Potter fics was going to though. LOL.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Anakin Skywalker, Witch.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Nope!

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes… mostly pretty vanilla right now I think. I need to expand my writing comfort bubble.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I haven’t written any. Used to read a ton though.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I’m aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, not to my knowledge.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. It’s stressful enough trying to match my own writing voice haha.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Obikin, definitely!

15. What’s a WIP you’d like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

My hobbit fic. I still get comment occasionally asking if I’ll finish it. My big thing with that fic was world-building and I’ve lost a lot of what I had. I WANT to work on it for the people that still enjoy it though.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I’d say probably dialogue, because I feel like I edit that the least, and world-building.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

….actually writing the words down RIP. Also comma usage.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I avoid it, generally. I read too many fantasy books and fics back in the day where you had to flip to the glossary at the end of the book/bottom of the page for translations and it gets annoying, especially if there’s a multiple characters speaking.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Omg I had to look up my old ff.net account to check this. It was Bleach.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

I want to immediately say Anakin Skywalker, Witch. It’s my first obikin fic, my first fanfic after a long hiatus. I’ve put so much work and research into it. But Tapio has a vibe that I really enjoy, and has managed to inspire that vibe in readers so… dark horse winner is Tapio.

Bonus: What fic would you want to rewrite one day?

Probably that damn Hobbit fic. I didn’t have an editor back then so I shudder to think about what the comma situation is there.

I feel like I've seen most people do this game already! So I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you see this and have not been tagged yet/want to do it... this is me, tagging you.

#f u you microsoft word not keeping my formatting #see if i copy/paste a numbered list ever again #fic #tag game #mal writes #ahahahahah never want to look at my ff.net account again #obikin

[unproduciblesmackdown]

So happy someone else defaulted to "oh wouldn't it be funny if Mordecai lived in the caves?" lmao it would explain how he had such easy access to the armory too

Bonus points if he sometimes hits a toe on a rock/has to hunt some spider or rat and the peeps at Lackadaisy just think it's a ghost

lol yeah once i was like "hm did mordecai have enough familiarity with the cave network there to know of some Secret Entrance since he got to the armory," but earlier viktor just notices the garage entrance trapdoor was unlocked, and we've seen mordecai keep lockpicking since....but hey it doesn't mean he Can't know of any secret entrances, and have also literally cleaned out somewhere else like "actually the secrecy of living in a cave is worth the effort / inconvenience" lmao

we sure can also appreciate a Gothic Genre Analysis applied to things out here where we have a murder and a mystery (which isn't a whodunit so much as a key to all these other Secrets) which is probably this case of the [how have these instances & manifestations of violence been incited, sustained, compounded, inherited, enforced, etc....] theme manifesting in this Central Unknown with atlas lol like, someone who was at the heart of all that & Something Happened in such a way that it seemingly came back to him like "me reaping: what the fuck. this fucking sucks" but who yet knows....bunch of mysteries, conflicts, murky painful pasts and similarly threatening futures, figurative ghosts, the haunting through histories, legacies, the manifestations of established/enmeshed power that's consuming things in hidden ways &/or seemingly suddenly erupting into view when lashing out from some threat. it's so funny but also genuinely so interesting that mordecai is the one tasked with doing some [quietly kill people] but he's also like ummm. sweating. what's going on

also there's Mood & Style which is important for anything but it also helps when you pick anything up like "is this gothic?"

it's also funny, which isn't counterproductive to any genre or style or effect if you're doing anything right lol. and it's both Very Gothic and Very Funny of anyone to be living in a cave where there's already secrets, darkness, bones, more murders, and some compulsive dusting which is funny and is also "raise your hand if you're Not characterized by violences in your past that may have been both immediate and interpersonal or too vast and immense to have been meaningfully understood as being a manifestation of some individuals' actions (e.g. crowded tenement immigrant life, for one)"....and a real classic if someone thinks there's a haunting, but then it's just some guy, except maybe there was also a haunting and maybe Some Guy's haunting is also like, damn, it's Like if there was a ghost who was murdered, where this person's life could be less ghostly if they weren't figuratively killed by certain forces....this is Just like phantom of the auditorium, of goosebumps the book series, or goosebumps the musical based on the book........in turn based on the musical, based on the book, at the time disappointing some readers who were like "what do you mean it was just some guy"....oh hey, lon chaney phantom of the opera was a '25 release. i've been staying completely on track the entire time

anyways running with it yeah i think mordecai would be sufficiently Particularly Ill-Suited for enduring his cave living that it would be like, a quick scooby doo investigation's worth of solving that mystery lol. like you don't even solve it, he just gets sick of it on his own & emerges from the darkness & proceeds to Just Walk Out, He Can Leave. > if (itSucks) {hit (dabricks!!)}

on the other hand, it wouldn't be very Thematic of him, when this is all about people in an "it sucks" situation & why they (a) are in it & (b) as yet can't, won't, &/or simply haven't just walk/ed out, Real Winners Quit style

BUT....it would be funny. and mordecai's quite the flexible & active character out here, being at lackadaisy after atlas's death(tm) sucked so he just walked out (& shot viktor)....work....social thing....cops if your quick....friend ships....and now marigold goings on are also a problem so he's doing his own mystery on mystery on mystery investigation....if it weren't for how it would bother him too much, truly, he could comically get up to some secret cave dwelling and zanily make people think there's a cave ghost

#takes the microphone this is litreally just like bat boy the musical....it is not literally just like bat boy the musical #in all the range & flexibility of Ghosts there's some overlap there but i'd have to think about it re: ''is this gothic genre'' #like yeah plausibly A Bit....very greek tragedy though is what i'd point to immediately beyond also the obvious [rock musical] genre #they would probably have noticed if there were any bats living in the lackadaisy cave system there. but this would also present an issue #as do the rats. any other creachers...of the night or day #cue also the bonus comic about telling ghost stories about the caves #lackadaisy #Would It Be Funny? It Would Be Funny is always a correct Process

[mangonatural]

Rules: Make a 24 hour poll with the names of your WIPs, let it run, then work for 10 minutes for every vote the winner receives.

Thank you for the tag, @angelcasendgame!!!!! I am not sure I will be able to work on anything very soon just because life came after me again, and turns out I'm gonna be moving over the next month or so, but I really do hope I can find time!!

None of these have names yet lol. I put the SPN ones first, but technically I've been trying to break my writer's block by returning to The Great Gatsby (It's all Nick/Gatsby btw, just realized that might not be immediately evident) with limited success. It's always come easier for me. But all of this is stuff I do actively want to work on.

Ohh I don't know who to tag. I'm sure everyone in this circle has been tagged already, and most of the people I talk to regularly enough to know about their projects have more or less left Tumblr... I do absolutely want to pass this your way though, @antique-ro-man!! (It's Wes, btw!) I also wanna tag @heyfagbutt! And then anyone else who sees this and wants to participate, I also encourage it!! This is such a cool idea :D !!

Long, rambling explanations down here ⬇⬇

I think the name is pretty explanatory? The gist of it is they go after the same guy and become pseudo-enemies but they keep bumping into each other like this and decide to work together after a while 👍 this is a really bad hook LMAO. Anyway, I'm trying to build on the idea that they work REALLY well together when they do it intentionally but fail comically when they don't.

Pretty much what it says on the tin as well. No Supernatural AU. Dean goes to a community college to get a certification to help with his work elsewhere, but Cas, a figure drawing model, catches him drawing (which Dean's been doing on and off as a hobby) and tries to get him to sign up for the arts program.

I technically only have a summary of this, and I'm not entirely sure if I will write it all out, but I do want to at least put more time into the development before I dedicate to giving up on it bc of scope lol. I just have SUCH a soft spot for fake relationship AUs. Also, I just found out that while I have FINALLY aged into independent FAFSA eligibility, I am once again tax bracketed out. Anyway, financial abuse is real and I want to project my suffering onto Dean. Also immigrant Cas, but I haven't decided where I want him to be from yet. I think this has a lot of potential for some pretty hefty character redesigns too so it's also compelling to me from that angle. I guess I could also write it for TGG, but I did initially think of it for Destiel, so.

I don't know how to explain this one very well except that I had unhelpfully written "poolboy au" in my notes and then proceeded to forget what the hell I meant. This fic was an attempt to resurrect that but ended up being a funky modern West Coast re-imagining where Gatsby can't even "make it" as much as he wants to, and Nick can't find a place to live except for a less-than-legally rented pool house. It's not meant to be a full rewrite or anything though.

Uhhh yeah, I'm keeping the details private for this one ahaha but that's just because it wasn't supposed to be a big deal and I told a friend she would see what it was when it was done...like oh god probably a month ago at this point... My original scope for this was quite small, but research for it, indecision, and a nasty case of writer's block that I've had for nearly a year now have kept development a bit slow. Hopefully, I'll finish it before the year comes to a close.

I also don't know how to explain this one well other than "after being rejected by Daisy (Canon Divergent), Gatsby attempts to buy his way into a bewildered Nick's heart. Though the fic is from Nick's POV, Gatsby's just had his worldview shattered and is in a bit of denial, but instead of pursuing Daisy harder, he channels all of that energy into Nick (though he's not really sure why he's doing it at first). I wasn't sure what to put up at the top because I absolutely don't want my code name for this public at least until it's done LMAO.

#new post #tag game #spn #cause i'm gonna kick this over to my main too bc of the tgg #but i SAID i was gonna quarantine the spn stuff here so . #sorry i feel soo much more rambly than normal #did you know that some property managers will approve you in fewer than 2 hours after you submit your application? #can't stop thinking about that

[lennjamin-o7]

(same anon as the one who asked what about techno putting on the crown) honestly, I'm not sure what questions to ask because it's such a broad topic, but i'd love to hear your rambles about it? (I'm most interested in the religion, history, etc parts, but I'm keen to listen nonetheless :D)

YES!!! AN EXCUSE FOR ME TO RAMBLE! THANK YOU ANON!

How about we go religion, first, because I'm feeling that!

Obviously, from the little bits and pieces, y'all know its polytheistic. There are quite a few gods. But it doesn't have a structure like most pantheons that I know of. There isn't, like, a King of the Gods, no ruler, no heirarchy.

There are only binaries.

For every godly aspect there is an equal and opposite godly aspect.

For every God, there is it's Mirrored God that hates their guts.

Winter vs Summer

Joy vs Despair

Foresight vs Foolishness

Life vs Death

Day vs Night

You get the picture.

Every phenomenon in the world is because 2 opposing gods are fighting/arguing. Night and Day constantly fight. Wealth and Poverty constantly fight. A God and it's Mirror will always disagree. It's in their nature. They literally CANNOT agree. They will always be diametrically opposed.

So, if the gods are constantly arguing over EVERYTHING, how does anything get done? How is a winner ever decided?

Two reasons. The first is that just because a god has control over a situation, doesn't mean they have to constantly exert that control. The universe is vast and most gods have more than one aspect they preside over. Like, the Blood God, for example, is the god of Blood, Warfare, Slaughter, and Justice. The Blood God might not be as interested in exerting control over the kid with the skinned knee as much as taking control of a battlefield. They have priorities. They're fickle. They choose what they care about.

The second is because there is technically ONE God that has no Mirror. They are the only one because they have no Aspect. They don't rule over anything except themself. They aren't divided.

Humans call them Prime, like a number that is divisible by only itself and one.

They have no dog in the fight, so any disagreement is decided by Prime.

Even though Prime has no jurisdiction over justice or law or whatever, most countries have some form of alter to prime in their judicial branch.

Now, obviously, some countries hold certain gods in higher esteem than others. Scywar holds The Blood God as their patron, you can probably guess which goddess the Sleeping Empire is devoted to. But, for the most part, all gods are worshipped by everyone. They will have temples scattered across a country devoted to hundreds and thousands of gods. There are so many.

But the god that has the MOST temples is Prime. Simply because they are the arbiter. They aren't a king or anything. But they break any ties.

So, say you are worried about your sick relative. You would pray to the god of healing so they would take your request as a priority, but then also to Prime to judge on that god's side.

So yeah, its a pantheon without a head, just a lot of rivalry lol.

the thing about carlos this season is that those times when he actually had a better result than charles was because ferrari was messing up so bad he just did what he wanted and didn't listen to the pitwall. Which again, it's not wrong in fact kudos to him for being so quick in those situations. Charles listened to the team, which is not wrong as well, f1 is a team sport people forget that like all the time lol. And like they've had unfortunate dnfs, charles made some mistakes and carlos did too. What it comes down to is that ferrari when it counted didn't deliver, it's just sub-par after sub-par strategy. Everyone is talking about of ferrari's updates are made to favour carlos, when really they didn't, the guy this weekend started from pole but the redbulls were that much quicker. The blame lies with people that are not as exposed to the media and that ferrari doesn't seem that prone to replace nor maybe idk regroup and understand where things go wrong. it does feel helpless and unjust, bc the guy who's winning the championship this year literally can't even overtake his teammate w/o team orders. charles talent is getting wasted in my opinion, bc binotto doesn't even take responsibility for the teams mistakes, a team he runs.

Totally agree with you !

I have to admit it, but I don't feel much for Carlos. I am very indifferent to him. But I admire the fact, that he has more confidence in himself, than Charles. I think it may be due to his background. Charles has always believed in Ferrari, since he was a child, his whole career is finally linked to Ferrari. While Carlos has been through different teams, he has been able to see what works and what doesn't. He has been able to gain a kind of greater confidence. As I said in a hashtag, for me, Charles needs to mourn Ferrari and not worship a team that is ruining him. He has a great tendency to blame himself, even when it's absolutely not the case. And it's double-edged, because he did make mistakes at times, but mistakes are human. But I'm wondering, if they don't blame him internally for the strategic mistakes. Binotto knows very well, how Charles loves Ferrari and I’m really asking if he doesn’t take the opportunity to clear his name and make it clear that Charles' mistakes and the "so-called" bad car, are bad luck.

Charles, in interviews, has a huge tendency to question himself, while the only thing he did was listen to his engineer (very incompetent and not at all reassuring when he talks to him, by the way). I agree with you when you say that it's a team effort, and that's where Redbull has understood a lot, in my opinion. They manage to be clear and efficient about the status of their drivers, internally and in the race. They know where they need to get to and how. Even if it's true that their car is also incredible and in another dimension.

But I agree with the fact, that even in the defending champion team, with the defending champion, it’s hard to decide who will be favored or not. That's what bothers me a little bit, in f1. Some will be destined to be a kind of number 2, because they can't have two winners. We saw it with Mercedes, especially Bottas, who was clearly a kind of stooge for Hamilton. You have to favor the team, but not only. It’s so complex because the drivers have to build up such competitive confidence. You fight for the team, with a teammate, who’s also your rival. It’s the game, I guess. Except that some teams manage it better than others and Ferrari’s clearly drawning, for me.

Queen + Adam Lambert live at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Canada - June 26, 2014

(x)

• After "Tie Your Mother Down", Adam leads the audience into a fun, impromptu call-and-response singalong ("♫ All your love tonight"). A hilarious conversation with a well-endowed onstage VIP audience member ensues:

Adam: "Look at those tits, you can sing good."

Lady: "That's why I have them! 'Cause I can't sing."

A: "Awww I'll sing for you."

A singing: "♫ All those lovers, lovely, lovely bosoms."

A: "I can say that 'cause I'm a fag."

• Towards the end of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", Adam yells, "Great balls of fire", in response to Spike Edney's piano jam on the song.

• Brian May playfully key smashes the highest notes on the piano while Edney is still playing, and Adam joins in.

Fan Stories

“The trip to Calgary was filled with delicious anticipation. I had bit the bullet and decided to go for broke and bought an OnStage ticket. I really wanted to get a different perspective and figured this would do it. The OnStage package included all the bits and bobs that come with VIP packages (T Shirt, souvenir ticket, ect.) with the exception of also sitting on stage and receiving a backstage tour. Our tour guide, Andy, a carpenter by trade, had the job of building everything that was needed for the massive stage production, which included set up, take down and obvious other tasks (such as tour guide, lol) and apparently that massive metal Q was damn heavy. He, along with 44 other stage crew would be with Queen throughout their tour, which, so far, is set to finish in Australia. For the North American leg the crew travels about in one of 13 buses. However, Roger, Brian and Adam (and likely the rest of their band and entourage) fly from venue to venue, usually leaving from the concert to go directly to the airport and rest assured, they do not fly commercial. Andy showed us around and introduced us to several members of the crew. They were all a lively bunch and seemed to love their jobs- who wouldn’t?! I found out that the big screen used on stage has a million pixels. Also learned, that some of the guitars Brian May travels with are the same ones he used from the early days. Andy also remarked on Dr. Brian May’s great intellect and how England should be knighting him any day now. Andy had great praise for Roger, Brian and Adam saying that they are friendly and great fun to work for and often take the time to greet or chat with the crew. Finally we were shown to the VIP pit and warned that there would be absolutely “no touching the performers”, what? damn! The VIP pit was situated on the left of the stage beside a ‘screamer’, which is what they call the metal steps that jut up and off the stage on both sides (a performer runs up them and the crowd screams, hence the name). There were 10 of us and I sat in front, next to one of the screamers. The pics from this view would mean taking a lot of side shots but the live views would be incredible as Adam’s water station was beside the pit. Most of my fellow VIPers were contest winners. (lucky devils) Only two of this group had personally met Brain and Roger, during a white hat ceremony, a Calgary tradition apparently, where they presented Brian and Roger with white cowboy hats. They did not meet Adam. (We had been told prior to our tour that any meetings with the band would be by chance as they were all in their dressing rooms prepping for the show). Sitting next to me was a lovely, buxom blonde who amply filled her stunning outfit. (this will have relevance a little later). I realize I might be biased but the Edmonton crowd were louder and more enthused than that of Calgary. Edmonton had stomped, sang, and cheered for Queen to come out; the noise level filling the air with such excitement that it had showed on the faces of the band when the curtain went up. As Adam noted on Twitter with a tweet later that night, Edmonton was pumped! Whereas Calgary’s crowd seemed willing to patiently wait with sporadic hoots and whistles. I asked my lovely new blonde friend if Calgary seemed quiet to her and she commented that they were a rather reserved crowd in comparison to other cities. (Her boyfriend was a musician for a famous performer, so I figured she should know.)

This is not to say that Calgary didn’t go crazy when the curtain finally went up. Adam was in fine form and gave his all. He sang with emotion and the crowd responded. The day off between shows was evident in his vocal acrobatics as he sang more glory notes and runs than he had in Edmonton, where he had performed back to back concerts. (Saskatoon was the night before Edmonton.) Brian May, Roger Taylor, Neil Fairclough, Spike Edney and Rufus Taylor all came over to us at some point to say hello and we were close enough to touch the face of any one of them but behaved appropriately (under threat of tackle and expulsion by security, hahaha!). Roger and Taylor were class acts and their touching songs and nostalgic videos of Freddie and them in their youth brought a tear to the eye for many, I’m sure. Brian’s guitar solo although different from Edmonton was equally impressive as were Roger and Rufus’s drum duelling. Adam also acknowledged us in the pit as he came over to get water- he waved and smiled, yes- there was swooning. HaHa! During ‘Somebody to Love’ he walked towards myself and my lovely blonde friend, stared right at us and held the mic up to our faces. If he wanted us to sing, which he did, it wasn’t happening. He laughed and joked with my lovely buxom blonde friend and said (to paraphrase, as Adam’s language was much more colourful) that with her large bounty, surely the girls could sing. We erupted in laughter and with that he twirled about and finished the song. After the show Spike shook our hands and Rufus Taylor presented my lovely blonde friend with one of his drumsticks. (apparently she has quite the collection) Sitting OnStage was a fabulous experience to get up close to the band and I’m really glad I bit that bullet. Bear in mind the following pics are from the side stage vantage point. I also took some short video clips but since I am working on an ipad I am having some issues with loading them and will do that when I am back home.”

Sorry I should have went into more details. I meant the other thirsty ask that the other anons sent to you while I was away 🙃. They literally shook me and I was not prepared.

Also thank you so much. I was shocked at how much training I had to do. But I apparently got it really quickly, and now they want to give me another month to get comfortable at this position. And then train me for a higher one. They already started sending me all the thing I need to study before training starts 🥴.

Again I'm not surprised by that Reddit. As you said could be false. But his Taurus venus does make him that I wanna cuddle, praise you and take care of you afterwards type (also he's Canadian). So I can believe it 😏.

And I know what you mean, my ex is a Scorpio sun with a Scorpio venus. And afterwards he would always praise me. You never know you have a praise kink until someone does it to you 🤦‍♀️

the #thirstgirlsforHayden never disappoint (and girls is meant in the gender neutral way, ppl of all genders can thirst after Hayden)

and also he’s just THE NICEST and i have no trouble believing that but it’s just so hard…why is Hayden so amazing and like i can’t even force myself to be attracted to men i meet in real life except once in a blue moon and then that man has a beautiful girlfriend so i’m just outta luck at this point 🤷‍♀️ you guys are the winners in this situation bc i will keep being lonely and writing stupid fanfic that ppl seem to enjoy lol

2.11 -  A Higher Echelon

Marshall is on his own, held hostage by teeth-obsessed wheelchair-bound torture-friendly creep in Mexico City so he hacks into the SD-6 server by pinging and letting them know where he is and Syd and Dixon decide to go on a mission of their own to rescue him.

Will gets a job at the CIA as an analyst, definitely closer to a desk officer than an actual agent (not field-rated). But he does let Vaughn know that he should respect his dealings with Sydney as it's obvious to him that she's hurting and after he heard from Francie that Syd's in love with Vaughn, he again proves himself as a great friend (first by acknowledging that it might be inappropriate of him to address that, yet wanting Vaughn to know that what Sydney has with him means a great deal to her).

Sloane is disgustingly disinterested in Marshall's life, phenomenally portrayed throughout the episode where he's got very little dialogue but even his facial expressions are a winner, especially in a moment of confusion or suspicion when finding out that Jack fired a gun and reported it as an accidental discharge, on the day Emily was murdered. So Kane proceeds with her witch hunt. Jack managed to fabricate and strategise almost all the evidence and information that could help him deceive someone as thorough and clever as Kane, except for the last piece of the puzzle she needs after which she can let him go. Phone calls can easily be forged, but she asks for his SIM card, since it serves as a travelogue of sorts and the dial codes for countries he supposedly visited and missions he supposedly undertook should all be evidenced on it as well. Vaughn and the CIA team wait in a van and come up with the plan to help him out (for the time being) but now comes the aftermath of Jack murdering a CIA officer some time ago, the totally vexing Steven Haladki guy. Vaughn is now aware of that and does not look okay in the slightest.

Sloane is also hyped as shit - contextualised within what Sloane is usually like now comes off as rather funny - all enthused over the Echelon downloading (which would be a big victory for him personally, not SD-6, no SD at all and certainly not the Alliance or the CIA). On the other side, Irina was granted full access to the CIA network in order to find the right entrance point in order for the CIA to obtain the Echelon first. She's playing them the entire time - of course- unhidden in plain sight-style actually and using the opportunity she was waiting for. It's a big win for her now. Oh, and just like me, Irina Derevko likes her coffee black. No sugar, no cream. I mean!!! LOL.

Irina delivered the promise of finding an overlapping access point of her organisation's version of the real deal and the Echelon itself and after the confirmation had been made, they closed the system and shut down SD-6 automatically, Echelon-wise. Just as Sloane was about to keep bathing himself in joy and glory talking on the phone with Christoph, he got bad news that SD-6 encountered a problem. Syd rescued Marshall and even in his grave danger of a situation, he ended up being courageous and smart. He wasn’t willing to help out an unknown bad guy. He actually encoded a generic, old-school ping pong game instead of doing any damage to anyone. And even found time to download a Serious Juju mp3 file. He returns to SD-6, welcomed by the staff and Sloane puts on his welcoming, warm face which feels really gross and stunning at the same time. As Sloane returns home, he finds Jack in his house. Jack fled after noticing that the fake SIM card he's given to Kane was leaving fresh stamp ink. She got upset the moment she realised she got played. These few episodes really worked due to well-written and wonderfully played out interactions between various characters.

The episode ends with Jack trying to help out with Emily's case by giving Arvin some leads and asking him to trust him. As far as Jack is concerned, Kane can't find anyone to hold responsible for Emily's death so she wants to frame him. After Sloane sounds approving and calm (never a good thing), Jack leaves and, naturally, in order to push his own hidden agenda furthermore, Sloane contacts Kane and lets her know that Jack has just left his house.

More pseudo pro devil land comments that I wrote and shared today and yesterday mostly on Instagram...

So I have shared many of the fake pro devil land comments I've put on Instagram and one other place (the Daily Mail) so far today. I have several other comments I put on Instagram and one I put on a Page Six article yesterday and today. I'm going to share those comments and a description of the Instagram posts and one article I left the comments on in this blog post.

The comments I've been sharing mostly on Instagram and one on a Page Six article follow...

[On a recent Page Six article about Gisele Bündchen commenting with a heart emoji on Tom Brady's Instagram post sharing a picture of his son whom he shares with Bridget Moynahan, I put the following comment, talking about Gisele when I said "she."]

She's such a WINNER in every regard, including in her handling of the divorce. It seems the divorce likely was tough for her, since she and Tom seemed SO HOPELESSLY IN LOVE, but she had to leave Tom for reasons not fully revealed, APPARENTLY. She said they grew apart. CLEARLY, HE was the one who was the LOSER in the situation. She filed for divorce, not him. He tried to save the marriage and he LOST. I only wish Gisele would return to posting to SOCIAL MEDIA. Sadly, even comments are shut down on her Instagram page. It looks like she's mysteriously abandonned social media to some extent, except for this recent heart emoji she's left on Tom's post, showing what a TRUE WINNER she is. Women so often are the sheroes, heroines, and stand out people in our world, probably because men can't get enough of the beauty and strength MANY -- yet, OF COURSE, not all -- women display. Gisele is one woman who does exhibit these qualities.

---------

[On a Instagram post by actress Gwyneth Paltrow sharing pictures of herself with some black woman who is apparently friends with her and whom Gwyneth was saying Happy Birthday to, I put the two following comments.]

First comment: These people like this, the stars and their well off friends, are just COOLNESS and APPROPRIATENESS PERSONIFIED! These people are so OBVIOUSLY LIVIN THEIR BEST LIFE! This friendship is 🔥🔥🔥!!! But don't worry! No one can put this one out! LOL!!! It's a hopeless endeavor, like these people ever looking not COOL AS SH*T would be!!! LOL!!! LMFAO!!! OMG!!!

Second comment: The first pic is of these two UNMISTAKABLY IMPORTANT PEOPLE LOL'ing! You've SURELY found something to LOL about!!! I'm sure the funny thing was something so COOL and just UNDENIABLY HUMOROUS!!! It's so hilarious to even see pics like this!!! It makes me feel like LOL'ing my damn self!!!! LMFAO!!! The COOL KIDS ROCK!!! This world is so awesome because with people like this, it's like the high school years never end!!!

----------

[On a Instagram post sharing a video of a woman sitting in a car with her baby in the backseat as the woman told about a employee at Dollar tree asking her whether she was the baby's grandmother or mother, I put the comment I'll put here next outside of the brackets. It's pertinent to tell the video had text on it saying something like "I had a baby at 40."]

People are just UNBELIEVABLE! At the same time, they are TOO REAL for me! Now HOW can that be?! It's UNFATHOMABLE! LOL!!! LMFAO!

-----------

[On an Instagram video of someone making a pancake with black text saying something like "Time away from you is eggscruciating!" written somehow on the pancake along with a picture of a sunny side up egg somehow made onto the pancake, I wrote the following comment that shows after this text here written in brackets. It's pertinent to tell that there was a voiceover on the video saying the words written on the pancake in a funny sounding voice. I felt for some reason to suggest the voice and the pancake were of a scary nature. The voice partly was, but I knew it wasn't to seem that way, but things are often misunderstood here, so I thought what I said could go undetected as fake and insincere. I think I felt to say the voice and pancake were spooky just because it's disturbing it's supposed to be true love here with the relationships that are fake and etc. Secretly the stuff here is very disturbing (and spooky) but is pretended to be something other than itself, but I'm supposed to be unintentionally saying that with my comment.]

What a SPOOKY voice! Surely making something SO AWESOME is worth the food dye and extra care REQUIRED for this! It'll give that special someone a little FRIGHT!!! LOL!

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

[On an Instagram post by the singer Ciara sharing a video of herself and a model singing along to one of Ciara's songs as the model tried skincare products that were to be advertised with the video, I put the following comment.]

You two are SO COOL TOGETHER! Your model companion is, of course, a KNOCK OUT and is so SAUCY and 'bout it 'bout it! The COOL KIDS SLAY and RULE THE WORLD!!! LOL! PERFECT PEOPLE ROCK!

-----------

[On a Instagram video posted by the singer Ciara showing her family's table of catered delectable food, including crab legs and other things I can't remember, and also showing Ciara and her family sitting near the table and then at points Ciara and her daughter dancing around the house adorned with Christmas decorations, I put the following comment.]

What an AWESOME post! If only EVERYBODY could be like the COOL KIDS and have such a perfect LIFE! Thanksgiving was MADE FOR YOU ALL! Looks like you NAILED IT, of course! Instagram IS REALITY! LOL!

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

[On an Instagram post with text saying something like "wife getting ready for a party" on scenes of a woman vigorously wiping clean the kitchen counter, the window on the front door, scrubbing the toilet and doing other cleaning tasks and then showing text saying something like "husband getting ready for a party" over a single scene of the husband carrying a leaf blower and walking on the roof apparently cleaning leaves off the roof, I put the following comment.]

Married life sounds like such A HOOT! Husbands apparently take the more life threatening tasks, even if they're IRRELEVANT! I guess it's a bit stereotypical, but it's who we are, gosh darn it! Tradition seems to have kind of NAILED IT in the "who are we" category! WHO would we be without tradition?! I'd HATE to see!

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

[On an Instagram post by the Today show sharing a picture of a woman sitting in an airport looking intently at her cell phone while a baby lies on its back on a blanket on the floor in front of her along with a caption explaining that the woman had been photographed against her will but had been messaging family about she and her baby having flight trouble, I put the following comment.]

Moms are just Magnificent! This story is oh so NECESSARY to JUST SHOWCASE that. This story was SUPER to read. It really affected me! News stories so often just NAIL IT in regard to what interests the AVERAGE PERSON, like little old me!

-----------

[On an Instagram post by some celebrity news outlet I don't remember sharing two photos side by side, one of the couple Nick Jonas and his wife and the other of their apparently sleeping daughter with her eyes covered by her hat, I put the following comment that comes outside of these brackets. It's imperative to tell that the baby usually has her face hidden by her parents in photos the wife shares.]

Oh my, why they've showed us part of her face! What a SWEET priviledge for the many! Such a delight! Hope they don't have any second thoughts about this HUGE REVEAL and whether it's a harm to their wee one, as there are surely bad apples in our ranks, AND PRIVACY is of PRIMARY CONCERN TO MANKIND SO VERY OFTEN!

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

[This last comment I was trying to make corny but it was a little less so because I was saying I loved Tom. But it's a comment on an Instagram post by Tom where he is sitting at the children's table at a seeming Thanksgiving dinner. The post is an ad for his sports and exercise rehab centers in different parts of the country. My comment on the post follows.]

Oh dear!! What an UNBELIEVABLY HILARIOUS and CUTE effing video!!! I'm lol'ing!!! Only at the kids table do you get to dive face first into the mashed potatoes and NOT LOSE anyone as to who ya are or WTF is WRONG WITH YOU!!! Like some now old a*s rapper once said, PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! What would we effing do without THE CHILDREN??!!! May we NEVER know!! Happy Thanksgiving, Big Guy!!! I can surely say that this one member of the NAMELESS, FACELESS multitudes LOVES YOU like you were her twin split at birth!!

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

Blehhh, alright. Please do not judge me for this.

I'm pretty comfortable with writing smut and heavier topics (as anyone who looks at my AO3 can tell), but there was a fanfiction site I used before Archive (no, it wasn't fanfiction.net or wattpad, so don't even look) where I entered a writing contest. All participants were automatically awarded 20 dollars, but the winners received more than that. I needed a little bit of cash to help pay for a present for a dear friend (and I was too young to get a real job), so I entered.

The topic was sexual incest, and I'm way more than a smidge embarrassed that I wrote it.

As such, I've promised myself to never write it again because it made me super uncomfortable. But I got my 20 dollars and, now that I'm older, I realize that that was a shit price for something like that.

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

Lol, anyone who's met me knows that music is my whole life. I always have a song for any situation. I usually have music playing when I'm writing, but it changes depending on the kind of story I write. For my recent fluffy story Feline Gold, I played Feeling Good by Sofi Tukker on repeat (and the title is sorta based off of the song title). However, for my other recent fic "How does it feel?", which is significantly darker, I listened to a compilation of dark classical music on YouTube.

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

When I work, I usually don't have time to write (except on a post-it note) until after my shift, but I broke a ligament in my ankle last week, so I've had a lot of time during the day while I'm elevating it. Of course, having time to write and actually writing are two very different things 😅. Generally, I'll have a great idea (or my beta reader will have a great idea), but that's usually late at night, so I don't get to writing until 11pm. Then, of course because I can't half-ass anything destructive, I stay up until past 2am to finish writing 😅. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that's how I spent both Monday AND Tuesday nights. But it was worth it, because I'm pretty happy with how both Feline Gold and "How does it feel?" turned out!

Thanks for the ask, Kiya!

You were fifteen when you gained your abilities. You were visiting a science museum with your classmates and after a radioactive experiment went wrong, you started having this special healing power.

It didn’t take long for the Avengers to recruit you and start to train you. And as the years gone by you realized that you were kinda invincible. It’s not that you couldn’t die, but you most probably wouldn’t.

So like this you became… reckless? It’s not that you wanted to get hurt or anything, but since bruises and wounds only affected you for like, ten seconds, life was getting kinda boring. So you started doing things to avoid feeling bored, such as jumping from high building during missions when you clearly didn’t have to or fighting way more enemies than you could handle.

Also, being friends with Peter didn’t help. When you weren’t in a mission, you two always managed to do the most stupid stuff. Last week, you two were competing to see who would last longer being tasered. But before you could find out the winner, Nat stopped you, taking the tasers away. You weren’t sure, but you think she was trying to suppress a smile as she walked away.

The rest of the team always complained about your behavior, but after years they just gave up trying to stop you. Well, except for Wanda. Your girlfriend hated your antics more than anything. Whenever you did something so called stupid she would be furious and you would have to apologize for at least one week (more if it was too stupid even for your standards).

On the last mission, you decided to jump from the moving truck, just cause the mission was accomplished and you didn’t have anything else to do. While you stood up, with the bruises and broken bones already healing, Wanda showed up in front of you, her eyes glowing red.

"Do you like moving cars that much, (Y/N)? Fine then!" She snarls at you after arguing for a while and then throws a car at you. You thought it was funny that she was throwing a two tons object at you since she was worried about you getting hurt in the first place, but seeing how furious she was, you kept the thought to yourself.

Knowing how mad she gets when you do your shenanigans, you decide to do them behind her back. Living in the same place, it obviously didn’t always work. So that’s how you got yourself in your current situation.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" She said, irritation clear in her voice as she notices what you and Peter are doing. You are tied to the wall while Peter were throwing knives at you. The two of you looked at her apprehensively, but before you could say anything. She turns to leave the gym. "That’s enough for me." You hear her say as she disappears through the door and you feel your stomach sink.

You untie yourself as fast as you can and take of the helmet you were using before running after her. "Hey, babe." You call her but she doesn’t stop." It was not a big deal."

"Not a big deal?!" She finally turns to look at you, her face in pure disbelief. "Peter were throwing knives at you, (Y/N)! How can this not be a big deal?!"

"I was wearing a helmet." You joke, but she only looks more furious. "Besides, Peter has a terrible aim, he only got like four or five right."

"Oh my god, you cannot be serious right now." She says, laughing in disbelief. "Come on, babe, that was not…"

"Don’t! I can’t believe I put up with you for this long." She interrupts you and your brain stops for a second, as her words sank in. Realizing what she just said, she puts her hands over her mouth. "(Y/n/n), I…"

"No." This time it's you that interrupt her, your voice low and feeling your eyes begin to burn. You just want to get out of there. "It’s okay." You say in a whisper and walk towards your room. When she doesn’t call you back, you start to cry.

-----

Later that day, you decide not to show up for dinner. The last thing you wanted was to cry in front of the team or see Wanda. You don’t know which would be worse. As you were laid down miserably on your bed, you hear a knock on your door.

Getting up takes all your energy, but you do so and you open the door, reveling Wanda on the other side. By her puffy eyes, you know she’s been crying as well.

"Can we talk?" She asks slowly, spinning the rings on her fingers. You just signal for her to enter. When she does so, you close the door and turns to look at her, hands in your pockets. "I’m sorry for what I said earlier. I didn’t mean it. I was just… It’s so scary, you know? I lost my parents and then I lost Pietro." She pauses, tears now rolling down her face. "You’re all I have, and every time you get hurt, I feel like I might lose you too."

Her words hit you hard. You have never thought of it that way. You always wanted to be there for her, be the one she can rely on and always feels safe with. Instead, you were being the trigger to her worst fears. Acknowledging this, your breath hitches heavily as you start to cry as well.

"Wanda, I’m so sorry." You say, walking towards her. "I had no idea you felt that way." You put your hands on her waist and she places her hands on your chest. When you rest your forehead against hers, she closes her eyes. "I never wanted to hurt you. Never. I love you so much."

"I love you too." She says, her words practically inaudible. "I’m not doing those things again, ok? I’m not hurting you anymore, I promise." You assure her and she nods lightly, kissing you next.

Your lips meet in a salty, gentle kiss and you think about the conversation you just had and the promise you just made that you'll happily get to keep for the rest of your life.

Invisible String Part 3

Good morning, guys! Honestly, i didnt think me posting was in the future but here we are lol. Ultimately, finishing the series in one part was the winner but last night my whole week fell apart and changed so I might not be able to write when I had planned too. So, I figured I’d share part 3 with you guys, to hold you over until I can get my hands on some free time to write. 

Parts: One, Two

Warnings: Swearing, maybe once. 

A/N: Italics are end of previous chapter

~~

           Mat was the first to speak, glancing up at you and taking his airpods out. “Hey,” his greeting came out on a pant, his chest heaving as if he just got done with a work out. His body was glistening with sweat and the t-shirt he was wearing was sticking to his skin, his hair falling everywhere as he ran his fingers through it.

           The sight alone had you squeezing your thighs together.

           “Hi,” you managed to squeak out, paralyzed in your spot on top of the counter.

           Mat walked towards the fridge and got a water bottle out, glancing over his shoulder and at you, “late night snack?”

           As his question filled the air, the ball inside your stomach continued to build as his eyes took in your shorts and t-shirt. The color in his eyes started to heat up and you felt a fire rise up, starting in your toes and flickering up your legs until it filled every inch of you and flamed inside your cheeks.

           Remembering he asked you a question, your hands tightened around the bowl and you cleared your throat. “Yeah. Late night work out?”

           Mat grabbed out a water and turned to face you as the fridge closed with a soft click. He moved to stand beside you, his back resting against the edge of the counter. “Just couldn’t sleep,” he answered, his deep voice filling your ears.

           As you moved to place the bowl on the space beside you, the outside of your thigh brushed his hand that was pressing into the counter by his hips and it almost stopped you in your tracks, suddenly thinking about how his hand trailed up your thigh while he slowly thrust into you. Shivers raced up your spine at that thought and you tried covering it up by asking, “got something on your mind?”

           Mat turned his head to look at you, leveling you with his gorgeous eyes and making your throat close up. It was hard remembering that you should be feeling guilty about sleeping with your best friend’s brother when he was standing this close, his cheeks rosy and hair sticking to his forehead. All those nights you let horrible and disgusted when you scrolled by his posts, or posts containing his face, just floated away in that moment and that should annoy you but it somehow didn’t.

           Mat didn’t answer but settled for silence and took his eyes off of you. You figured you poked too hard and sucked in a deep breath, looking down at your hands in your lap. You weren’t close with Mat, so you didn’t blame him for not giving you insight of something that was bothering him but you didn’t want any distaste between the two of you because you couldn’t go avoiding him the rest of your life.  

           “How come we were never closer?” Mat asked suddenly, pulling you out of your thoughts.

           You’d be lying if you never thought the same thing while growing up, but the answer was always pretty obvious. “You were always busy with hockey,” you answered, smiling nervously.

           You both stared at each other for a second. His eyes taking in every inch of your face, like he was trying to memorize it for the moments you two spent apart and you just couldn’t look away from him.

           “Would things between us be different if I didn’t leave that morning?” he whispered, his deep voice giving you goosebumps.

           You wanted to shake your head no because you two couldn’t go back there. Even if he didn’t understand or know about the promise you made to yourself, you would die if you lost Liana’s friendship over her brother.

           But instead of shaking your head no, you just stared at him, your lips parted and breathing in short puffs of air. You both played a part in the aftermath because he left in the morning, but you didn’t pick up when he called a few days after, and that’s when he didn’t bother to call anymore because it was clear you thought it was a mistake.

           Mat’s gazed turned down and you followed his eyes just as the edge of his pinkie finger brushed the skin of your thigh, moving slowly and softly, almost like you’d burst into thin air if he kept touching you.

           “Y/N,” Mat whispered.

           You were almost scared to look at him because when you did, it meant it was all over for you. Every second that ticked past meant you were that much closer to forgetting everything around you, how it could hurt his sister and how it would make you feel like you weren’t any better than the other girls that used Liana.

           You were afraid to acknowledge the possibility that Mat could block out the world around you.

           Mat murmured your name again and you watched his body turn towards you.

           “Mat,” you warned, your voice breaking with a gasp but the sound coming from your mouth caused more sudden movements from him, like his hand coming up to cup your jaw.

           He turned your head to face him, tilting you until his lips found yours in a mind-numbing kiss.

           You were right, he really could block out the world. The kiss pushing your scary feelings away as his body twisted until his hands were reaching down and pushing your thighs apart, making room for his hips.

           As his hands sent more flurries of shivers up your spine, yours reached to his chest, twisting his shirt and begging for him to be closer. The real shock to your system was the low groan he let out when your tongues touched, that was when his kiss got heavier and more tense. You could feel this ball building in your stomach, the ache between your thighs just growing until it was swallowing you.

           “Y/N…” His whisper fell into a moan when his big hands gripped your hips, holding on tightly.

           As his hands went up the length of your body, skimming over your ribs and brushing gently over your boobs, your hands fell down to his stomach, feeling his muscles tighten under your fingertips, behind his flimsy shirt.

           You moaned softly when his fingers wrapped themselves in your hair, tugging your head back so his lips could press against your neck. His lips felt like fire against your skin, the kind that didn’t stop unfolding and growing. The tip of his tongue dragging so slow it was like Mat had no where else to be, except in that moment with you.

           The vibration from your phone, followed by the ding, sounded like a canon going off but Mat just didn’t jump away, and his body swallowed up your jolt against his skin. The only thing he did was pull his lips away from your neck, bringing them to your ear.

           Despite just finishing up a work out, his cologne mixed with his sweat and it wasn’t entirely unpleasant but you didn’t get much time to enjoy the softness of the moment, feeling the sexual tension in his muscles melt away because you had to come back to reality.

           “We can’t do this,” you whispered, your voice shattering even though you tried to sound tough.

           “I want too,” Mat argued back, the sound soft and calming, his hand moving from your hair to cup your jaw.

           You pulled back as your hands pushed against his stomach but he didn’t give you a lot of wiggle room. He stared down at you with those heart melting eyes and you were left with nothing to say except his name, praying he understood.

           “We could be something,” he whispered, his frown and the pain in his eyes caused your stomach to drop further.

           “Liana,” was the only thing you said.

           His eyes shut as his jaw tensed, turning his head to the side. For a moment you thought he’d have another argument and maybe he did, but right now his brain wasn’t really comprehending anything other than he couldn’t have you. The hand on your jaw pressed deeper as he turned to face you, your eyes fluttered shut as his lips dipped down to graze your cheek.

           There were no words that could have been said to make this situation better and nothing he could say that would ease your ball of guilty anxiety, so he let his lips linger than what was necessary but you both felt the need for it. When he pulled away, he put full distance between the two of you and forced his eyes to watch you slip down from the counter.

           You could have sworn you heard a creek in the stairs but there wasn’t much you could hear over Mat’s soft breathing, part of you wishing you didn’t have to walk away from him. Despite your heart begging you to take the leap, be with him, your feet forced you away and you took the less than twenty seconds to calm your racing heart and to put on a happy face.

           When you opened Liana’s door, she was sitting on her bed, scrolling through her phone. She glanced up at you, “dude…. Where’s the snacks?”

           Oh, fuck. “I ate them,” you quickly lied as he moved to sit on her bed. “You took too long.”

           Liana snorted with a laugh, which then caused you to laugh.

           “What an ungodly sound.” You teased.

           “Oh, please, you snort too!” She argued, reaching over to smack your arm.

           “Not like that,” you argued, shaking your head as you both continued to laugh.

I’m not sure if I’m going to open a can of worms but I get to wonder… what the fuck does it even mean to be a gym leader or a champion (and their regional equivalents?). Like, is that a work? For gym leads it should be, in the anime it was obvious that Brock was a gym lead to provide for his family, but then how does it work?

Are you paid per person who challenges you, or by person that fails/succeeds? What I mean is, how often Pokémon leagues even take place in each region? Do they happen once a year? Twice a year? Are pokegyms open all year round for challengers? Is that job REALLY brings in money? And what is more important, HOW IS THAT EVEN DETERMINED WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE IF GYM?

Like, gym leads fail constantly (otherwise there won’t be as much challengers), so doesn’t that mean they should be replaced?.. but then again, for some characters being a gym leader seems to be a family business, which is???? How??? Can you just BUY permission to be a gym lead? Are they not chosen the same way champions are usually chosen? I mean, Brock and Misty are both canonical for both anime AND games, and for them, it’s a family business.

But then we have Raihan (this is the first character that came to my mind, sorry lol) who was a normal challenger just like Leon, but Leon is champion, but Raihan somehow ended up being one of the strongest gym leads… how? Was he hired by someone? But he seems to the boss, not the employee.

I’m just so confused about this whole thing… I understand that champions PROBABLY change if the previous champion fails, but then it’s like… does that mean that the champions who failed lose their jobs??? Are they even paid?

Also, in majority of the games adult champions are defeated by the ten year olds/teens, does that mean that now a CHILD is in charge of taking care of champions duties? What duties champions even have (well, except for fighting?)

It’s hard to determine anything about champion’s job bc we don’t know anything about how poke competitions works in every region.

I understand that we probably shouldn’t think about it, bc this kind of contests happen constantly all over the world one after another, but I’m 23 years old and I still want to know how the fuck this fictional world works… it’s obvious that some trainers have works (like Nessa and I GUESS? Leon), but what about characters like Cynthia? Does SHE have any kind of work outside of being a champion?

God there is so much more things I want to know but we will be sitting here forever… I just want some kind of official guide that explains this shit to me :/

Then again, I was always wondering how the fuck some parents are able to provide for their traveling poketrainers kids… Dahlia (Ash’s mom) doesn’t look like she is working, but I guess she should, bc otherwise how is Ash able to buy ANYTHING? It’s like he makes money himself. I suppose Ash is kind of an extreme example, he travels all over the world, but still… mcs in games seem to travel around their own motherfucking COUNTRIES, but no one has any problems with that? Really? I wonder if becoming a pokemon champion is just a dream that brings you glory or if some people are doing it for money…

So many questions, so little answers…

LMAO Yeah IDK I mean presumably they make money from wins, when you beat a trainer in game you do get money. As for whos chosen.... IDK. Im assuming theyre the strongest in their respective towns and maybe battle specifically for rights? Similar to the Elite 4 champion?

Each gym leader has different sets of Pokemon for specific trainer levels it seems from re-battles and I think the vibe is just letting the trainer challenge at their level to teach them something... Maybe its like a teacher/dojo sensei situation and the winner isnt trying to win for their job and theyre just there to learn... maybe thats why Leaders give their tm/hm/signature move at the end. Gym Leaders are there to trainer Trainers and prepare them for... more serious battles/to become the region champion. But then its like... kind of bleak some kid spending their life on the road learning only Pokemon battles and gets to the Elite Four and cant beat them... thats so sad but I guess if its like a real world time maybe it would actually take several years to travel across the world on foot and train and beat gym leaders... so if they lose the Champion title there may be a spot open in a Gym and they can just become a Gym Leader to teach what theyve learned.

IDK about their hours because obviously the game they have to just stand their every minute of every day to wait specifically for you when you feel like battling them. But characters do have other jobs and hobbies outside of their work as gym leaders as part of their lore... like Milo is a shepherd/farmer and also does gardening, Piers is a musician, Nessa is a model and swimmer... but IDK if they really delved into when gyms are open or closed in like the anime I havent watched since like the Johto league (also tell me the Johto league doesnt have the best theme song. POKEMON JOHTO! DO-DO DO DO DO DO DO)....

There are also like child gym leaders like Tate/Liza, Iris, Allister, etc... which is also weird... cause youd think were some more complicated technical things but I guess in a world where buildings can be powered by lightning producing rats and humans can almost die by being attacked by small birds.... its a little pedantic to be like 'Dont these kids have more important things to do than run a gym...'
