“will you call me when you got there safely?” + Cam and Arastoo?

I neeeeed to write these two like I need air so thank you for this prompt. Set post-canon/present day. I'm listening to midnights while I write this and honestly that's probably a threat all things considered

"I'm sorry, Arastoo," Cam sighs, "I really wanted to be there."

"You don't need to apologize, Cam," her husband says. "We're no stranger to murder victims messing up our schedules."

"But tomorrow is a big day for you, and I wanted to be there," Cam protests. "It's bad enough you have to drive up tonight by yourself, I can't believe I'm not going to see your first keynote presentation."

"We can only hope there will be more," Arastoo points out with a self-deprecating laugh. "And Michelle already said she would drive Isaiah and Jordan up, so you don't have to worry about a seventeen-year-old on I-95. Of course I wanted you here, but it's not as if I'll be alone-- and I'm sure nobody at the lab would mind if you put the livestream on."

"You make a good point," Cam acquiesces, shaking her head at Arastoo's innate talent for relieving her anxiety. "You should send Tyler the link too-- I remember being nineteen, I bet he'll take any excuse for a break from finals studying this time of year."

Arastoo laughs again. "Will do."

"Doctor Saroyan," says a new grad student who hasn't stopped shaking like a leaf since her arrival, "Doctor Brennan sent me to ask when--"

Cam holds a hand up to stop her and turns away, unwilling to hang up the phone yet. "Babe, I have guts to get through, but you'd better believe I'm gonna be breathing down Booth's neck to get this over with so we can all celebrate together as soon as possible."

"That's not necessary." She can hear his smile. "I love you. Good luck with the guts."

"Call me when you get there safely?" The intern isn't leaving, despite the fact that the body obviously still has flesh on it. "I love you too."

"I'll call. Give the boys my love too."

"Of course, Arastoo." Cam sighs and turns back to the grad student. "Drive safe. Bye."

"Doctor Brennan wants to know if the bones are--"

"Do they look clean?" Cam snaps. Usually she tries her best not to be short with the interns, but she's not in the best of moods today.

"I'll tell her you're still busy," the student says meekly.

Cam sighs and drops her head into her hands.

#ignore the numbers lol i compiled a list of writing prompts and kept coming back to these two. #imagine your otp #bc this can be applied to pretty much every ship out there?? like. the tough “unemotional” one who hasn't cried in years(or says he hasn't) #and the soft sweet one whom everyone loves and who wouldn't hurt a fly #just give me one of them getting hurt #and the other not knowing how to deal #so the tough one breaks down #because they can't lose their best friend. they don't know what to do without them #imagine the tough one being uncharacteristically soft because things are just That Bad and Scary; “don't you dare leave me. #i can't lose you. i won't.” #but when the soft one sees the other one get hurt? they SNAP. #just completely feral and ready to put themselves in danger if it means having even the tiniest chance of helping their friend #throwing punches. having to be restrained when help finally arrives because they don't realize they're finally being rescued #and they're still in the “i have to protect them; anyone is dangerous” mindset #just. man. i'm in love with this. #currently imagining my faves like this... wilson and house... crowley and aziraphale... #like the details vary of course but just. this. them. #i'm in so much pain so i hope this makes at least the tiniest bit of sense but this is my lifeblood atm #anyway! enjoy #writing #writing prompts #whump

From one person with a Joseph fucker OC to another, I'd love to see that ship template done with Blue and Joseph. I think they're an interesting Joseph ship and am intrigued by the dynamic. (You may have also introduced me to 'when I watch the world burn, all I think about is you' and now it's pretty much the official ship song for my own deputyxJoseph ship. Love putting that man in a position where the one he loves struggles with the reality of potentially turning their back on him in the end.)

Anon, I've got you! Here is the Blue and Joseph ship template:

(Originally, I tried to do Joseph with yellow font, but it wasn't very legible. I switched to gray instead.)

I'm glad you enjoy When I Watch The World Burn All I Think About Is You! It's one of my favorite song on my Blue/Joseph playlist, and it definitely gives me such Deputy/Joseph Vibes. A great choice to make it the song for your Deputy/Joseph!

And thank you! I'm really glad you enjoy their dynamic; I'm always really happy to hear that. Haha, I wanted to write a realistic but interesting dynamic where both characters could be themselves.

#kate answers asks #anon this message made me so happy #thank you for sending this #and if you do it for your deputy and joseph you should tag me #Blue Murphy #Deputy x Joseph Seed #Deputy/Joseph Seed #OTP: I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you #I agree anon I really love putting Joseph in a position where the one he loves struggles with their decision to be with him #in Blue's case it's being torn between their love for Joseph and their duty to the Resistance/to protect people #honestly I could go on about this #but otherwise we'll will be here all day #also the reason Blue is the one who asks for pickles is because Blue doesn't want to subject a poor fast food worker to Joseph's sermons #Last thing Anon have you seen the playlist I have for Joseph and Blue? #if you want to see it let me know and I'll reblog the fanmix

Still thinking about the Emperor's romance and how it spans across the three acts in such a subtle but strong way. Like with Badri, she definitely didn't know what to believe at first, didn't immediately start using the tadpoles. Every time they met in the Astral Prism, she felt drawn to the guardian in a way that went beyond her understanding. No one had ever wanted to protect her; she has a pretty conflicted past in which she has sought to help others to the point of her own suffering. And I think the martyr pov comes from the fact she's a half-aasimar with an enstranged connection to cosmic divinity. That's why she sought to learn magic often, even the magic looked down by others, like necromancy and its uses for medicine and investigation. (The murder mystery in the Act 3 is her jam because she's good at it with Speak with the Dead lol and technically her job if you take away the tadpole mess.)

BUT what I'm trying to say is that she knew the guardian was lying to her. Plainly. She can tell. She went the crèche path just because she wanted to know more about the prism and test the waters with the guardian. As much as their conversations were pleasant and her presence was warm, Badri lived a life that she got to know the minds of the strangest people you could find; being a private investigator does that to you. In the prism, when the Emperor thinks you're about to kill her, it really dawned on Badri that this was a situation where she had to trust this guardian she knew little about because despite all subterfuge she really seemed to want to protect her and her companions. I think this is where the similarities between the Emperor and Badri start because they're both pretty strange people in their own way. Both sacrifice a lot for others with a goal in mind - and sometimes their good intentions fall short because they can't anticipate every angle. No matter how much they claim they might.

With Badri, she had a strange-ass friendship with my durge, and they met while she was investigating murder sprees in BG; Badri tried her best to try and bring my durge out of her pact with Bhaal. She could see the person beneath the reigns of a bloody god. But never managed, especially since Orin is particularly nasty and obessesive. And to her, Badri's meddling was annoying even if it proved to be an opportunity to get Solemn and Equinox (my durge's name) captured and tadpole'd. I envision they travel together, but Badri never tells Solemn and Equinox about her past because she believes this is her break to make a change. So you get why I think the Emperor and Badri are alike. Both omit things because they believe it'll help in the long run; given Badri is a beacon of shiny light with mostly noble intentions and the Emperor is a shady little shadow with personal goals. They make the whole puzzle fit.

The first time the guardian/Emperor is vulnerable with Badri, she hugs her without a second thought. Because Badri has made up her mind, that whatever her secret is, she'll have a good reason to keep it hidden for now. When they touch, it feels so serene for a second and stirs a connection between them that was already taking shape, like a cord made of gold among a starry realm. Every time they meet the scent of vanilla and garlic is present which is a smell she attributes only to the guardian's presence. And that's when she tells the guardian: "You protect me, I protect you." It's almost like sealing their destiny as intertwined. I know the companions often wonder why she is such a jovial soul, but a bit of a loner, and it's really because she seldom connects with others. But when she does? It's until the end.

When it's finally revealed that the guardian is a mind flayer, she is surprised, but not in a bad way. Because finally, everything made sense. She had humored the hypothesis in her mind, but it seemed so far-fetched. But now standing next to it, helping it, and hearing its voice as they are, she understands the visage. She sees how it mirrors each other; the glowing eye and scar, the purple and red tones of her make-up. The guardian is as much as part of the Emperor as anything else. But this form is its essence. Where the warmth and care come from. So Badri does stare, but unlike the Emperor's self-conscious comment, "stop looking at me like that," it's just because she gets it now. And it excites her. She wants to know everything it may be willing to share.

The Emperor is squid over heels with Badri and it is very evident when it shares everything they were in their past life. It wants her to know, it wants her to be its star amidst the darkness of thoughts and tiresome loneliness. I firmly believe it seeks companionship because it wants to love so badly, but mind flayers have no blueprint for it. Enslaved by an Elder Brain and driven to enslave others, so to the Emperor, freedom is everything. And Badri is as free as they come, with an insane background and species. She is as weird as it comes in a package of humanoid. Star-like eyes, always topless, wings of celestial nature, and a job unfit for her kind. At least in the eyes of the gods.

She likes mortality and people. And the Emperor does too, albeit it sucks at connecting with others while Badri is pretty good at it. It is madly in love with her because she is so accepting of who they were, who they became, and who they are now.

I think the romance/sex scene is the first time the Emperor got intimate with another person while being a mind flayer (those desperate squid moans are sub-mode sorry 🫵🏻🦑), and it holds probably a meaning beyond words. That's why their mind connection fills the gap of words. They mean the world to each other. And the pleasure they derive from this love is endless.

Badri is not scared of its predator nature, and the Emperor can fully embrace itself in Badri's arms. Tentacles in the pussy and all.

Oh, and also Badri didn't particularly care the Emperor didn't tell her it was Balduran before becoming a mind flayer. It's something that clearly brings him mixed emotions, so she respects that it didn't want to share such painful aspect of its past and who they were (and no longer are). Also, she thinks Ansur is kind of an ass for trying to kill his friend because it was a "mercy death" instead of becoming a ""monster."" She tries to be neutral, but it's the same thing with Lae'zel where she's like "that's not a ""ghaik"" it's my beautiful purple wife 💜 🥰🫶🏻"

OTP Prompts: Protectiveness

Scenarios

Stepping in front of the other to shield them from something/someone.

Telling anyone who comes near them while other is hurt to leave/take a few steps back.

Rubbing their back to make sure they know they're not alone.

Covering their mouth to muffle any cries/screams they make because they're trying to hide from something/someone.

Hugging them to shield their face from the sight.

Jumping in the way at the last minute / taking the blow for the other.

Pretending everything is fine so the other doesn't have to know what's going on.

Holding an arm out to prevent them from getting any closer to the danger.

Restraining someone for just long enough that the other can escape.

Taking the first bite out of a meal to make sure it's good enough to eat.

Dialogue

"You know you saved my life, right?"

"Hey, they're just our friends. Nobody is out to hurt either of us, I promise."

"Don't come any closer."

"While I appreciate that you did that for me, I don't appreciate the fact that you nearly died because of it."

"Can't have you injuring yourself, now can we?"

"Are you hurt?"

"You jumped in front of a bullet!" - "And I'd do it again."

"I don't need you to constantly be there to protect me, you know."

"Thank god you're okay!"

"Please never do that again."

Issues with watching GH

If you want to watch the episodes of someone who hasn't been in there in Seasons, all you have to rely on are videos on YouTube. And I have seen every video they have on there for the Rivera twins (it's a bit limited and I know they left out a lot). Searched up Griffin Munro because I need a photo for something and this popped up.

Okay, I've seen a photo of Carlos on a Hospital bed before but it was horrible quality and it was from a distance so I just hoped that my eyes were messing with me. I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE. WHO HURT HIM? WHAT DID THEY DO? I don't care about spoilers at this point. Tell me what they did to my husband. Don't tell me to calm down. You know damn well if that was your OTP on that bed, you would be losing your shit too.

But, most importantly, who's hands are those? They better be Griffin's. Only Griffin is allowed to touch him. And, of course, Joseph. But, as far as I know, Joseph didn't return until after Julian-

#you know what im getting at #tell me what happened #no i dont care about spoilers #and dont tell me to calm down #sees otp hurt and immediately gets protective #whatever #if you guys know an easier way to watch gh let me know #general hospital #carlos rivera #joseph rivera #griffin munro #jeffrey vincent parise #matt cohen #julian jerome #yes i ship them #carlos rivera x griffin munro #only they can touch him #no one else #who hurt him #fangirl problems #spn actors #alternate roles

thinking about that one time i logged into my original tumblr this spring and all my mutuals who were my irl friends who had tumblrs were reblogging the same posts from each other about how girls who still like taylor swift and harry potter are what is wrong with the world like. why are you so obsessed with me

#like i KNOW you’re all swearing allegiance to the guys who raped me but like don’t bring my otp into this #anyways every song taylor swift has ever written is about drarry and after fifteen years of this particular hyperfixation #to quote simon & garfunkel #i have my books and my poetry to protect me #obsessed with the Kind Of Guy who interpreted abolition praxis as choosing to try to rehab the guys who rape their friends #and ditch said friends for not being enthusiastic enough about prioritizing rehabbing those guys #thus being the Actual Sexists for not considering how much raping girls hurts the guys who rape the girls’ feelings #Love You Freaks Get Better Soon
