maggot newt pulsifer: the draw battle recap
The maggots asked and the maggots shall receive. Helloo it's the Good Omens Mascot and the uh Maggot Prince (...) anyway it's Asmi and as many of you now know, we have a Discord server. It is called The Official Maggots Server of Doom.
So far, it has lived up to its name, with discussions of whether human flesh is healthy food if locally sourced and consensual, tears about good omens, gartic phone horrors and the infamous Draw Battle Team of Valerie and Coel. If you don't have Discord or weren't there, never fear! That last Incident is the one I am here to recount to you. We all know I love summaries.

Hii! I love you're writing so much, so I just know you'd be the perfect person to write this idea if you're able.
I was wondering about, how would you and your XDH boyfriend go about announcing your relationship to Villians?? Would you have to do some convincing or vice versa? Or were fans already speculating and you finally decided to just tell them already?? I think it'd be such a cute moment.
Thank you! Hope life is treating you well!
I really thought that this was gonna be short and sweet then it turned into 2.4k words. Anyway thank you for loving my writing! It means a lot.

Summary: How you and Xdinary Heroes reveal your relationship to Villains.

Gunil
Yours and Gunil’s relationship was approaching the one year mark. It was actually easier than you thought it would be to keep your relationship underwraps from the public. However, since your relationship with Gunil became a serious one, the two of you began to discuss revealing your relationship to the public and Villains. Gunil is the one who brought it up first.
“Y/n, how would you feel about revealing our relationship?” He asked you one night. The two of you were sitting on opposite ends of the couch legs overlapping in the middle, phones occupying you both. You put your phone down and sat upright. Gunil moved to sit next to you.
“I’m ok with it. I feel like I should be the one asking you though,” you laughed lightly. “It affects you more than me Mr. Idol,” you continued. Gunil laughed at your use of the nickname. 
“It still affects you though, so I need to be sure we're on the same page. I think it’s time for Villains to know about the love of my life,” he grabs your hands in his. 
“Villains might get jealous if you say that. You know I have to share you with them,” you stated. Gunil chuckled and adjusted his grip on your hands.
“So you’re ok with telling them?” He double checked.
“Yes, let’s announce our relationship,” you confirmed. Gunil sat down with you to write a handwritten letter to the fans announcing your relationship. He tells them about how thankful he is to have you in his life. He talks about how supportive you are of him and Xdinary Heroes. How he hopes Villains won’t be too upset to hear this news and to please support your relationship. He even uploaded some cute couple pictures of you two  together along with the letter. Villains showed a lot of support for you two. Some saying that they are grateful that Gunil found someone to love and that loved him. Yes there were a few not so nice comments too, but that was expected. Overall the support out weighed the negative, but most importantly you and Gunil were happy.
Jungsu
Jungsu was always careful when it came to keeping your relationship out of the public's eye. Sometimes he felt bad for you because he couldn’t freely hold your hand in public and always had to partially sneak around whenever you went out. Even though you would reassure Jungsu that it was ok there was a thought that haunted his mind of you leaving him because of it one day. Your relationship growing deeper only made his fear of you leaving grow too. One day you hung out with a guy friend of yours and posted pictures of it on your social media. Now, Jungsu wasn’t jealous about you being out with your guy friend because that’s all he was a friend, but he was jealous that you could post pictures with him freely. All of your guys photos together had to remain between the two of you and maybe some friends/family. Jungsu came to the conclusion that he wanted to be able to post pictures of you two together, no longer having to keep your relationship in the shadows. 
“Y/n!” Jungsu proclaimed excitedly once you arrived back home, encasing you in a hug. 
“Did you miss me that much?” You joked hugging him back. 
“I did, but I also have something to talk to you about,” he told you. 
“What is it?” You asked, nerves setting in a little bit. Jungsu guided you over to the couch, sitting down. Jungsu took a breath before answering you.
“I wanna tell Villains about us,” Jungsu said very seriously. You took a second to process what he just told you. 
“Are you sure Jungsu? That’s a very big step,” you quizzed him. 
“I’m sure. I don’t want to hide us anymore, but if you need more time that’s totally ok too. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable about this,” he tells you. You took some time to think it over before giving him your answer.
“If you’re really sure about it then I am too,” you smiled, grabbing his hand.
The next week Jungsu revealed your relationship via a post on the group's social media. He’s never been so happy to be able and finally post about the person he loves.
Gaon/Jiseok
Villains were suspecting that Jiseok might have had a special someone in his heart. During one of the Xdinary Heroes Xtra Files content there was a clip in the video where you can see Jiseok’s phone light up and the lockscreen revealed a photo of what looked like him and someone cuddling. Later the clip was edited out and the video was reuploaded. Villains took that as unofficial confirmation that Jiseok was indeed dating someone. Their comments about it were actually quite supportive. Saying that yes they were a little envious about whoever the lucky person was, but Jiseok being happy was what they cared about most. Jiseok on the other hand was having a little freak out over the incident.
“I’m sorry! I should’ve been more careful, especially since I knew the cameras were rolling,” Jiseok profusely apologized to you.
“Jiseok, it's ok. Most of the comments I read about it were actually supportive of you being in a relationship,” you told him.
“Really?” He questioned, slightly taken aback. 
“Yeah, I mean there were some not so happy comments about it, but that’s an always unfortunately,” you added “Why don’t we just tell them?” You suggest a bit of hesitation in your voice.
“Are you sure?” Jiseok questions you.
“Yes, unless you don’t want to,” you answered, not wanting to pressure him. It was his career after all.
“No!” He quickly blurts out. “Wait not no I mean, I want to. I want to tell them about our relationship,” Jiseok explained. He’s definitely thought about what it would be like before. Telling everyone that you guys were together. That he has someone he treasures deeply.
A few days later Jiseok did a live. Of course there were some questions about his lockscreen and he was waiting for them to pop up,so he could use them to reveal his relationship.
“Villains,” he began. “You’re curious about my lockscreen right? I’ll show it to you,” He pulled out his phone and displayed his lockscreen that was indeed a picture of you two cuddling. “This is a person who I love deeply and want to continue spending my life with. I’m sorry for not telling you sooner, but I love them and you guys too of course very much. I ask that you please understand and continue to support me. They make me very happy,” Jiseok tells them.
Jiseok was deeply moved to see all of the congratulating comments from Villains.
O.de/Seungmin
Frankly Seungmin would have been delighted to announce your relationship on day one, but he knew that wasn’t the best idea. Seungmin and you were friends prior to dating, so your name had already been mentioned to Villains once or twice before, very briefly though. Time went by and the urge to reveal your relationship only grew for Seungmin. Whenever he passed a couple on the street he envied how openly affectionate they could be. While you always made sure to walk with a friendship sized gap between you both for safe measures. Seungmin adored how you cared about his career, but sometimes he just wanted to throw caution to the wind and love you openly. He’d been thinking about it a lot recently and decided to finally bring it up to you.
“Y/n can we talk?” He asked you. The two of you had just finished cleaning the dishes after eating dinner.
“Of course, what’s up?” you inquired, taking a seat at the kitchen table. 
“How would you feel about telling Villains about our relationship?” He asked you carefully. 
“Seungmin you haven’t even been debuted for two years yet. I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” you replied honestly. Seungmin can’t say that your answer is unexpected. Sometimes he thinks you care more about his career than he does, now being a good example of that.
“I really appreciate how much you care y/n, but we would tell them at some point eventually right? I want to be able to love you openly, not keep you a secret anymore,” Seungmin explains. “Please for once can you not think about my career so much? I promise it'll be ok no matter what,” he tells you. You’re still a bit hesitant, but seeing how certain Seungmin is provides you with solid reassurance. 
“Ok, let’s do it,” you say, letting out a breath.
“Thank you!” Seungmin shouts excitedly, springing up to gather you in a hug. He gets to work excitedly writing a letter to Villains about your relationship. He starts off his letter by asking them if they remember his friend y/n that he’s mentioned in the past. Saying that he has some news about you two. He reveals that you’re happily together. Seungmin writes about how much you mean to him and how he feels so blessed to have you be in his life. Villains' positive comments only made him more happy.
Junhan/Hyeongjun
You appeared, well your voice appeared in a vlog that was uploaded to Xdinary Heroes youtube channel. It was a vlog Hyeonjun had shot while the boys were given some time off. Obviously you were introduced as Hyeongjun’s friend in the vlog. Villains really like you though. They wrote comments about how they could tell Hyeongjun was super comfortable around you and that they were glad he had a friend like you. There were also comments about shipping the two of you that made you laugh. “I might be a little delulu, but I think Hyeongjun and his friend would make a cute couple,” you read. The replies to the comment brought a smile to your face. “I was thinking the same thing!”. “Please, they're so cute!!! They way they made Hyeongjun laugh my heart ;(” If only they knew, you thought.
Hyeongjun arrived at your place while you were still busy reading comments on his vlog.
“Have you seen the comments on your vlog?” You questioned him after giving him your greeting hug. Hyeongjun shook his head. “Look,” you said, holding up your phone for him to read. “I’m Villain approved,” you boasted playfully. Hyeongjun felt a sense of relief as he read over the comments. A part of him always feared the worst when it came to thinking about how it would be to announce your relationship. Worst case scenario being the two of you breaking up, which never wants to happen. Seeing how supportive his fans were being helped to put his mind at ease. “What?” You questioned him seeing the gears turning in his head.
“I just always worried about the worst happening when it comes to revealing our relationship, but reading those comments makes me feel better about it,” Hyeongjun admits. 
“You’ve thought about telling people about our relationship?” You prompted him.
“A part of me feels guilty about keeping it from Villains. I want to tell them, but the fear of losing you always outweighs that guilt,” he informs you.
“Let’s tell them then, so you can get rid of that guilt. I promise I won’t go anywhere,” you reassured him. The two of you discussed it a bit more before deciding how you would announce your relationship. Hyeongjun decided on filming a video that was uploaded to the youtube channel revealing all about how his friend that Villains adored was actually the person he loved. The sheer support and excitement over Villain's ship being real made all of Hyeongjun’s fear disappear. 
Jooyeon
You and Jooyeon were both more stay-in date people, so keeping your relationship hidden was no problem for the two of you. Announcing your relationship wasn’t really even a thought that either of you two had before. You were just enjoying your time together. 
“What if we pulled a Chen and just randomly announced our marriage to Villains one day?” It was truly just a random thought that popped into his mind one day, but he was still curious about what your reaction would be.
“Is that your way of proposing?” You joked, not really taking him seriously. 
“We’re still a bit too young for that, but I mean it would be kinda funny right? Skip having a dating scandal and go right to a marriage announcement,” he chuckled lightly. 
“I think the fact that dating scandals are still a thing is what’s sad. Maybe that’s why idols started skipping them and going to marriage announcements,” you gave your input. Now that Jooyeon talked about it he can’t seem to stop thinking about telling Villians about you two.
“Seriously though, what if we told Villians about us?” Jooyeon asks with a serious tone.
“Do you really want to?” You checked him.
“I never really thought about it before, but now that we’re talking about it I think I want to. I think it would be nice for people to know that I have someone that I love and cherish very much,” he reveals. 
“Someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with?” You said half jokingly, earning an unamused look from Jooyeon. “Sorry I am taking this seriously,” you stated. “If you really want to. Then I want to too, but you know not everyone is going to be happy?” You reminded him.
“I know, but as long as we face it together we’ll be ok,” he answered. Jooyeon writes a post announcing your relationship. Of course being the menace that he is he starts it off with, “Villains I have news to tell you. I have found someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with.” Then he tells them that’s just kidding, kinda. He writes about how he is in love and sharing his life with a special someone that he treasures deeply. He asks for Villains to continue supporting him and the rest of Xdinary Heroes. Was very pleased with the congratulating comments and laughed about Villains saying they better receive wedding invitations. 
The way they progressively got a bit longer....oops.

Tumblr media
From 2016 through 2018, Evil Supply Co. (hi, it me, we are rebranding) published 21 monster newspapers detailing the lives and tomfooleries of ghosts, witches, mermaids, monsters, dragons, gorgons, wizards, rock creatures, goblins, orcs... etc.
The Complete Evil Supply Co. collection is available for free via PDF by clicking this link here.
Please feel free to share. Please feel free to link to it on your own blog or media or whatevers.
The link will take you to a Google Drive page, so when I say "there is no obligation or sign ups" I mean it. I won't even know that you downloaded it.
You can of course tell me. But you don't have to.
The entire point of making this public is to give you something without asking for something in return.
Tumblr media
Every issue. Every in-universe ad. A few extra rambles at the beginning and end discussing the future. It's just over 100 pages and something like 40- 50,000 words. I counted once and it took forever.
I've been making it free for years and have given away several copies because the community of folks who love monsters and Halloween and mermaids has provided me an audience to build an unimaginably fun life.
A company can exist for many reasons. Making the world a better place via a utopian paradise is one of mine.
When I say this project is my life's work, I mean it.
Tumblr media
I'm getting far too sappy.
Let's talk about the future a moment.
I have been exploring various printed versions of the book for months. I'm hoping to narrow down a company to work with sometime before the store launches (Autumn 2023). Did you know that books are absurdly heavy?
The printed version will not be free. The link above (and here, we love utility in this crypt) is formatted to print fine on 8.5" x 11" paper. It is again though 100+ pages, so do be aware. The PDF will always be free, even after said printed version launches.
Onwards to next, non-secret things
Tumblr media
Remember this? I've signed a contract today to build a microsite on the blog that will house the Dispatch in web format. This is third in priority --
blog (April 2023)
shop (Autumn 2023)
Dispatch microsite (...?)
-- for obvious reasons. The PDF will be available for free for as long as I run this company, this is not a limited time offer. I mentioned that above but I like mentioning things, including "I like mentioning things."
The existence of non-secret things implies... secret... things?
Kinda.
One of the features of the blog that I'm really excited to offer is advice columns and in-character pen pal exchanges. "Hey Strawberry, how does magic work underwater?" and then you'll get a reply if your ask is chosen.
And by reply I mean a published thing online + an actual physical letter in the mail as this company is a non-governmental postal facility after all. A post office, if you will. A Netherworld Post Office, even!
The stories from Evil Supply Co.'s dispatch are serving as a near-final draft of new stories.
Or maybe a solid starter. Anyway, the point being:
All of the plot points and characters (etc) are sticking around (with the exception of Atticus, as a fictional character in the newspaper, I've decided to just be a semi-fictional character in actual real life).
Tumblr media
The direction of new stories is "more of everything" and "cleaning up minor plot point holes" and/or "using plot point holes for comedic purposes and strategic hilarity."
There will be a brand new character replacing the Atticus character.
I really liked running the Dispatch. It was one of the things I'm most proud of -- a monster newspaper?! all original content!! I drew it all, I wrote it all!
I want to explore bringing it back in some form.
And.
I recognize I have a lot on my plate at the moment. So the best path forward is, as above, giving away the base + building the microsite.
One of the beautiful things, I have come to realize after surviving my 2020 traffic accident + ensuing as well as not related legal battles to get people to pay me what they owe:
I have a lot of time.
I don't need to rush things.
Tumblr media
Whoops!
Wrong link.
Try this one instead.
(That terrible joke was as immensely satisfying to write as you think it was. Doubly so if you get that the link is from Ocarina of Time and I was just talking about time okay I'll see myself to the door this post has gone on way too long.)
Let's wrap this up!
NetherworldPost.com has the email signup.
If you've signed up before, the auto- duplication- resolution- witchcraft- tech- things will take care of it. You won't get a ton of emails.
First email will go out saying "blog is launched" when said blog launches and then rambles thereafter.
(Bugs Bunny and others gifs used in this post do not appear but are included as helping legibility of said this post.)

Failing (Phillip Graves x reader)
Summary: You find spyware on your devices when you’re already depressed following another failed IVF cycle. Turns out Phillip is just worried…
Note: Fluff. A real emotional rollercoaster for the reader. / If you find any mistakes… they’re on me. Sorry. / If you want to know when I post new stuff, follow @unreliablesnakefics and hit the get notifications button. I don't have a taglist.
Warnings: afab!reader, mentions of possible infertility
Tumblr media
Being Phillip Graves' wife was a dream. That's what he would say, probably. In a way, it was true. He was a loving husband. He gave you everything you needed, showered you with gifts and romantic getaways whenever he had the time, flew in your family for the holidays every single time because he knew you missed them, and always noticed if something was off about you.
In reality he used his fucking techno-wizardry skills to spy on you. He had security cameras around the house, you already knew that, but after a while he let a few comments slip that made you suspicious he knew about your private conversations.
So one day when he was somewhere far away on a mission, you went to the Shadow Company HQ to visit an employee you had a good relationship with. You played dumb. You told him you just read some article about spywares and realized that maybe that's why some of your messages are shown as seen, even though you never opened them. And of course you knew that Phillip would never take a look at them.
The poor guy believed you, and he offered to check your devices for anything that could be worrying, especially on the device that belonged to the wife of the head of a private military company. And look at that, he found spyware on your phone and laptop as well.
“I'll delete them for you, okay?” he said with a smile. “Come back in–”
“It's okay, you don't have to,” you interrupted him with a sweet smile. “I know you're good at your job, but I wouldn't trust any of these after this anyway. I'll just throw them out and buy new ones.” He let out a weird laugh as he nodded. “Oh, and please, don't tell Phil about this. I don't want him to blame me for clicking on a wrong link or something.”
Nodding, he handed you back the laptop and the phone. “You can trust me.”
You thanked him and left the building as quickly as you could, heading straight to a store to buy another phone with a brand new number. You didn't want to ditch the old one. Oh, no. You just used this new one to create new accounts on social media and message some of your friends to divide your conversations from now on.
Sensitive topics could only be discussed on this new account and phone, while basic, everyday conversations with your friends, co-workers and family would be done on the old one.
Phillip noticed the sudden decline in the number of messages you exchanged on a daily basis. In the past your inbox was flooded with new notifications, but now it was surprisingly quiet. He wasn't home at the moment, and you always told him everything was okay with a sweet smile on your gorgeous lips whenever you talked.
He could feel that something was wrong. Based on the footage of the security cameras around the house, your behavior didn't change much, but it didn't prove anything. It could be high-functioning depression for all he knew, and that could be a sneaky thing. You barely communicated with others online or over the phone. This was a fact.
Another two weeks passed before he could finally go home to you. Everything seemed to be okay, but he knew what question to ask you, about a topic he had carefully avoided until then. “Was it negative again?” he asked you as he put his hand on your cheek, rubbing the skin with his thumb.
You gulped, let out a sigh, then curtly nodded. “I don't know how long I can do this, Phil. It's getting too much,” you told him, tears already forming in your eyes. It wasn't the first, second, or even third goddamn IVF cycle, and once again you failed. It was hard not to blame yourself, after all you were the one who just simply couldn't get pregnant.
“I know, sugar, it fucks up your hormones,” he whispered as he pulled you into his chest, having no idea how you truly felt.
But you weren't about to explain to him that you were blaming yourself. You didn't need him to feel sorry for you, or to act like he cared about becoming a father. He was only doing this because he knew you were lonely whenever he left for work, and he thought having a baby could help you with that.
The doctor at the clinic had suggested you see a therapist after the second failed cycle, believing there might be psychological reasons for the unsuccessful attempts, but you weren't ready, and your husband wasn't fond of the idea either. But recently something changed in you, and you just had your second session yesterday.
The therapist had said you should bring Phillip with you one time so you could try to get to the bottom of your issues. Was it you? Was it him? Or were the both of you defected? “I want to go to therapy. With you,” you clarified, just to be sure.
Your husband let out a tired sigh as he let go of you and buried his face into his palms. “Don’t do this. Don’t fucking do this,” he muttered. “I told you I don’t want therapy. Even I have to go through a psychological evaluation every year, and I’m fine.”
“I'm sure your fucking daddy issues have something to do with you not wanting a kid,” you noted bitterly.
Something obviously snapped in him because he gave you a death glare with those bright blue eyes of his. “I don't have daddy issues, and it’s not that I don’t want a child, I just don't want my kid to grow up without a father!” he told you angrily.
This took you by surprise. “Why would they grow up without you?”
“Come on, you know what I do for a living. I can die on a mission, it's in the cards for me.” Seeing the absolute horror on your face, Phillip took a deep breath, and walked over to pull you into a tight hug again, your face tucked into the nape of his neck. “I’m sorry, baby, but you knew that when you married me. But I’m not planning on dying anytime soon, I want to keep coming home to you.”
“You’d better,” you mumbled against his skin.
You could be so damn mad at him sometimes, but despite all this, you loved him deeply. And he loved you too, you knew that. He had been supportive ever since you started this baby project four years ago, always talking about how he couldn’t wait to see you with your baby. Until now you assumed he was just pretending, saying these nice things to make you feel better, but after today it was obvious he was just scared of the two of you being left alone.
What he said was true. You knew what he did was dangerous, but you didn’t want to think about it, so instead you just pushed this thought into the back of your mind. Phillip was good at his job, he would survive anything. He knew how to protect himself, and he had an entire team protecting him.
“I can guess who told you that bullshit about me not wanting to be a father,” he suddenly noted. “You should stop listening to her. And what’s with her usual ‘why don’t you divorce him’ question? It’s not normal.”
You suddenly froze in his arms. You had never told him about that, and you knew she was sneaky enough not to say it around Phillip either. Then you remembered –spyware. “How do you know about that?” you asked once you peeled him off of yourself.
He gave you a surprised look. “You mentioned it once.”
“I’m sure I didn’t.” He tried to laugh it off, but his expression turned serious once he realized you weren’t kidding. “I know about the fucking spy softwares on my devices,” you decided to inform him with your arms folded over your chest.
You could hear him mutter ‘fuck’ under his breath while he avoided your gaze, probably a thousand different excuses going through his handsome blond head at the time. “You’ve been acting weird lately, but whenever I asked what was wrong, you just brushed it off and said everything was okay,” he said eventually. “What the hell was I supposed to do?”
As much as you hated to admit it, he was right. You always said you were okay. But it wasn’t that easy. “Ask me when you’re here, not when you’re risking your life god-knows-where.”
“All right. Fine,” he said, putting his hands on your shoulders to make you look at him. “You’re here. I’m here. What’s wrong with you?”
“You know what’s wrong.” Phillip raised an eyebrow at this. He didn’t know, it was crystal clear, so you took a deep breath and said, “I’m tired of this. I’m tired of always failing everyone. All I want is a child, yet I just can’t get pregnant.”
“Baby, you can’t blame yourself for this,” your husband immediately told you as he placed a soft kiss on your forehead. “Look, if you think therapy might help, I’ll go with you, okay?” You nodded between sobs. “All right, get us an appointment. My assistant will clear my calendar for that time.”
The way he could make you feel–angry one second, then completely smitten the next–made you upset, but you couldn’t deny that you loved him. He was always there when you needed him, and apparently this time wasn’t any different.

No, it can’t be… Since it’s Sakuma-senpai, there will be some sort of deeper meaning to it.
Koga: Huh?
You think way too highly of that stupid old man. Nothings goin’ on in that head of his.
He does whatever he wants without a thought and then afterwards he makes up some shit ‘n goes “that went all according to plan.” He’s an idiot.
Adonis: You understand Sakuma-senpai very well, Oogami.
Koga: At one point in time, he was all I thought ‘bout, so.
Don’t matter how much I think about a version of him that only exists in my head, it has nothin’ to do with reality.
Adonis: ...
Koga: Anyway. What are we doin’ ‘bout this situation?
Adonis: I’m not sure. Actually, I wanted to discuss that with you.
Yesterday, we came face-to-face with fake versions of ourselves, with HELLSING, at the AIIE testing facilities.
After we explored the facilities, Sakuma-senpai gave us a course of action.
He said “let us turn this misfortune into fortune and take advantage of what is happening.”
Koga: Hmph~, I still think it would be better if we jus’ got ridda HELLSING entirely.
But it’s hard to tell the difference between them and the real ones, so it’ll be pretty hard t’kill them ‘cos it’s like they’ve got a mind of their own.
Adonis: Umu. That is one of the problems with AI.
Should AI, and robots alike, be given human rights?
If we don’t acknowledge this, and only use them as a means to an end, are we not creating a new system of slavery?
Koga: Nn, I don’t like thinkin’ ‘bout complicated shit like that. The HELLSING guys are surprisingly nice, ‘n they follow every command we give ‘em.
Even if they start bad mouthin’ us, we can turn them off with a remote control. They’re just machines.
It’s more of a problem of, is it alright for us t’dispose of them losers for our own convenience. They’re alive— well, they’re not, they’re machines.
Tumblr media
Adonis: Do machines have souls?
Koga: I dunno man. But Sakuma-senpai said they might ‘n that's why we can’t get rid of them. We can’t mindlessly throw ‘em out.
Adonis: Sakuma-senpai is a nice person after all.
Koga: Yeah but he’s not a pussy, he’s jus’ sick of messin’ up other people’s lives with his own hand. AI ‘n shit ain’t humans, but, you get my point.
If I was destroyed by the person I loved, I’d want the same.
Adonis: …Anyway, HELLSING began idol activities when we were participating in that experiment and were isolated from the outside world.
And that ‘radical, immoral’ unit received widespread support, especially from long-time fans who expected that side from us.
It seems that Sakuma-senpai is taking full advantage of this situation.
Whilst HELLSING deals with radical, rock band type of activities—
UNDEAD will handle a variety of things that we have been undertaking since ES’ establishment.
It’s important to keep old fans happy whilst simultaneously bringing in new ones. Sakuma-senpai is trying to please both sides without alienating anyone.
With that, he believes that this will lead to our revival.
Koga: He wants t’split us up, divide us into light ‘n dark.
Normally I’d be totally against that…
But now we have handy robots that can act on our behalf.
It’s like they're copy robots. Hm.
Tumblr media
Adonis: Copy robots…?
I’m not sure what you mean by that but HELLSING’s utility was proven at today’s live.
Koga: Mhm. When Hasumi-senp—I mean, shitty glasses, tried t’attack us on stage I was thinkin’ what the hell do we do.
There’s not a chance he’d understand our situation right now.
Adonis: It wasn’t exactly an attack per say, Hasumi-senpai was worried.
Koga: Hmph, he’s always been a nosy fucker. He’s like a stray dog or somethin’ that can't bare to be alone.
Adonis: I believe that’s true for a lot of people though.
Koga: Well, whatever. Shitty glasses is a good guy at the end of the day. It’s hard t’believe that there’s robots that look like humans operatin’ behind the scenes.
Until it becomes public knowledge that we’re usin’ AI idols, no one, not even shitty glasses, is gonna notice.
Adonis: Umu. At the moment, it is better for us to keep their existence hidden as if we reveal the truth, we may be subjected to harsh words and lose credibility.
I feel as if we are deceiving fans, which upsets me.
Koga: Yeah, it’s probably better if we tell ‘em.
But not right now. We gotta focus on dealin’ with all the new things HELLSING brings.
That’s why I’m worried ‘bout lettin’ the AIs do whatever they want at the moment. It’s best if us two monitor HELLSING.
Adonis: Yes, then us, along with fake Sakuma-senpai and fake Hakaze-senpai will perform radical, immoral activities at HELLSING.
Whilst real Sakuma-senpai and real Hakaze-senpai take part in variety shows and such with fake me and you as UNDEAD.
Koga: Our AIs are pretty good at what they do, so I ain’t too worried ‘bout them.
They’re doin’ a live broadcast but they’ve gotta act properly when they do a variety show.
Adonis: Yes. I cannot say yet as to whether this decision will turn out to be a good or a bad one—
So far, everything’s been smooth sailing. So much so that it’s scary.

Looking for people to interact with
I've been much more outgoing lately, I'm not sure why! Despite this, I am still very bad at picking and choosing people to reach out to and message, so, to save time for everyone involved, I've made this post.
This post is asking for people to message me that also describes what exactly I want from our interactions! You will have to message me, though if you're feeling too shy to reach out in our DMs, sending a non-anonymous ask or directly replying to this post letting me know that you'd like a DM is a good way to get my attention and potentially receive a DM from me. See also: making my notifications blow up with a sequence of chained likes and/or reblogs on my posts.
Reblogging and especially liking this post specifically will not do much for putting you on my radar, because it's very easy to just like or reblog a post and doesn't take much effort, as opposed to messaging me or doing any of the things described above. If you're interested in connecting with me, please read this whole post (or at least look at the TL;DR) before reaching out to me!
Thank you in advance.
I am ace and I love meeting new people
To begin, I do NOT want a relationship in which there is only hypnosis and only kinky things. I am asexual, and while I am romantically attracted to basically every gender, I do not want to be horny 24/7. If you're looking for a committed (or gods forbid temporary) dominant/submissive or hypnotist/subject relationship, specifically only a dedicated sexual/kinky relationship, this post does not include you.
I am very affectionate
I love people! I love people so much and am always looking to make more partners and friends. There is a good chance that I will flirt at least a little, and will generally try to be very positive and overtly friendly in our interactions.
We'll still do hypnosis stuff
This does not mean I will not want hypnosis to be a part of our relationship- hypnosis is a very big part of my life, and is the root of how I've made most of my friends and especially my partners. I will eventually want hypnosis to happen between us (whoever the hypnotist shall be) and at the very least will want to be able to discuss the topic freely without judgement.
Video games good
I won't sugarcoat this next point- I am a gamer, I play on PC, use Steam, and heavily enjoy a wide variety of games. Specifics can be gleaned by questioning me, but I tend to lean toward roguelikes and co-op multiplayer games, be they designed specifically for co-op or simply offer the ability to play cooperatively with your friends. PvP games can be fun, but I definitely lean towards PvE titles.
Inherent bias
I adore women. Trans women particularly have a special place in my heart. This does not mean I will dislike anyone who isn't a woman or trans, but if you are feminine and/or transgender you will automatically gain some of my trust without having to do anything.
To clarify: video games
Over the course of our interactions, I will want to play video games with you, and I will want to hypnotize you or be hypnotized by you. That much is clear. If you don't play video games, that's okay, but as we are unlikely to live near one another, our options for doing things may possibly be limited. I will say, however, I may want to read something with/to you or watch anime/tv shows/movies with you. Simply sharing space and receiving attention can be enough, but I'm not very good at filling empty conversations with words as my social skills are somewhat limited.
Friend Zone
If you're already partnered up or don't wish to get involved romantically, I'm perfectly fine being your friend! I will still want hypnosis to be involved, but hanging out with friends is something I simply don't do enough and would be open to doing much more.
I only have one body
I am not always available 24/7 and am sometimes too busy to reply to messages. This does not mean I don't want to talk to you- I will tell you if our relationship isn't working, and barring extreme circumstances, will attempt to make it work. I have a few friends and partners already and if this post garners enough attention, will likely have even more, which means that I will not be available all the time. If you expect me to be 100% available every moment for you, this is probably not the relationship for you.
Allow me to summarize and recount the major points. (TL;DR)
We will not have being horny or sexual as the focus of our relationship.
I may be an introvert but I am liable to flirt with you and try to pry attention and affection out of you whenever possible.
We will discuss / engage in hypnosis (I know it's antithetical to the first bullet but it's necessary)
We will probably play video games. (on pc) If not, we will want to find an alternative.
I love women/feminine types, though if you're not a woman, that's perfectly acceptable, and I will appreciate your attention all the same.
It's okay if we're just friends! There's no pressure to become one of my partners, even if it is always an option.
We will not be spending every second of every day together, as I have existing friends and multiple partners to divide my attention. I will still try to answer your messages when I'm busy, but there are no guarantees.
Thank you!
Regardless if you read the whole thing or not, I hope you are well informed enough to make the decision of whether or not you want to reach out to me about this. It's worth noting that even if we're already acquainted in some way, this post is still an invitation for you to reach out!
Cheers! <3

An Engaged Update
I’ve been waiting for a moment of calm so I could wrap up the HH’s goings-ons in a narratively satisfying blog post. Things haven’t really calmed for me, though, so this one will have a lot of loose threads.
Since my last big update, I have arranged a functioning Linktree for convenience, and I updated my website with a new landing page and ToS. Plans to start paying for my own domain are still up in the air.
As I’ve said on social media, the shop itself is closed because I’ve moved back to Germany, and I need to sort some things out. In the meantime, I’ve been working diligently on preparing for a more permanent reopening!
Just the other day, I decided to redesign the logo.
Tumblr media
I wanted to connect the H’s and make them flippable. As you can see, I also decided to — not exactly rename Handmade Hearts, but I made the logo with the German “Herz,” which means “heart” (pronounced like if the “ear” in “hearts” sounded like “air”). It felt appropriate. I’m going to see about registering my business with the German government once I have my long term residence permit that allows me to work. Once I have all the legal stuff sorted, I will be opening up again on the newly launched Artisans Cooperative markeplace.
Tumblr media
I already have my own page on the marketplace, and I’ve even bought in as a member-owner. The price to share in co-operative ownership is anything between $1,000 on the spot and $10 combined with essentially working for the Coop in my own time over the next year. Can you guess what option I chose? (Hint: I’m not exactly employed at the moment.)
Before I joined the Artisans Coop, I was and still am involved with the Indie Sellers Guild. I run their official Tumblr and help to verify new members. Current projects we’ve got going on there include:
Pressuring Etsy to let up on its harmful business practices
Working with U.S. legislators to pass a bill to crack down on resell scams
Developing a program to accredit online marketplaces using university-funded research
I should note, my joining the Artisans Cooperative won’t mean that I’m leaving Ko-Fi. My page there is very useful for one-off donations, and I might someday use it for monthly donations à la Patreon. I might cross-post listings for reach, too. Details… are still a bit loose.
Hold on, monthly donations? For what?
I’m glad you asked! For full access to my patterns — and probably discounts to other things. I’ve been doing a lot of work to write and test my original crochet patterns. So far, I’ve had one pattern fully tested and uploaded, with plans for much, much more.
Germany, co-ops, guilds, patterns… It’s a lot going on. Here’s a paragraph to breathe. I hope you’ll stick with me to the end of the post. Please remember, while I have the support of my partner and community, I am just one body and brain. (And I’m working with not entirely abled versons of each.) If it seems as though things should be happening faster or more efficiently, do keep that in mind.
I haven’t even discussed my inventory yet.
Since the beginning, I’ve been contemplating and recontemplating what I wanted to sell. I knew from the start that I wanted to design it all myself; that’s what makes experimenting and pattern-writing so important. Now, I’m close to a solid decision, and I love to make animal plushies and embroidery art.
While working on the aforementioned legal stuff, I’ve been building an inventory of original animal plushies (some of them cat toys), bags, fidget balls, bracelets, hats, and scarves. All of it is crocheted, though I’d like to expand into knitted and sewn items in the future. I am working on multiple amigurumi cat designs, and a songbird design. There will also be further work and testing on the snake pattern –– and it’s not just the shapes; no, I’ve developed designs for tapestry crochet that are yet to be redrafted into something testable.
I don’t have much of anything embroidered in my inventory yet. I’ve been commissioned once for some art, and I’m content for now to keep it at commissions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Embroidery wasn’t even on my radar when I first decided to make Handmade Herz, but I have fallen in love with it. I’m currently putting some practice into portrait embroidery, which may end up becoming a staple of HH if all goes well.
A lot of loose threads we’re weaving… and I don’t even know how to weave.
You may be wondering about the title of this blog post, “An Engaged Update.” I thought it was a little bit punny, or it might be if I’ve managed to make this engaging.
I am engaged!
I have been, technically, for some time, but now it’s on a legal level. I’ll be getting married in late November. The original plan was to get married in summer, so I went ahead a few months ago and made my partner a “wedding” dress just in time for the July pride parade in our city.
Tumblr media
This dress was the most ambitious project I have ever taken on, if only because it is a wearable of that many stitches. I was so afraid of getting it wrong! But it turned out beautiful and comfortable, and a proof of concept for my ability to make wearables this big. Someday, I hope to include original clothing designs in my inventory.
Thanks for reading to the end. I will try to write more frequent blog posts, hopefully with more narrow themes. I’ve still yet to be a vendor at a craft market, partly because of everything going on and partly because I’m very nervous. I will be writing something up about my experience when it finally happens.
Stay strong.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤
AWW YOU AND @whumperofworlds both sent me this!!
Okay okay now I have to THINK. So this is in no particular order but here we go! Each piece has its TWs and a little snippet from it c:
1: BTHB 2023 - Near-Death Experience
TWs: car accident, near-death experience, panic attacks Time seemed to slow down as Bastian tried to scramble backwards, his own boots betraying him. He slipped after only a step or two, his feet disappearing out from beneath him as he fell towards the otherwise empty street. The van hit the curb with a bang and tipped, still hurtling towards Mariano roof-first. He hadn’t moved.
2: Mariano and Dimitri's Co-captives Arc (Here is part one)
TWs: Broken bones, kidnapping, torture, captivity “Mm.” Dimitri hummed, rolling his eyes. “I have to be if you’ve gotten so soft. Plus you’re bad at that, too, so I have to pick up the slack.”   Mariano frowned, looking at Dimitri. “You haven’t seen me beg for someone in years, you don’t know that. I’ve gotten way better at begging.” Dimitri rolled his eyes. “You’re the flattest person I’ve ever talked to. And I’ve known Izan for a long time.” He shot back. 
3: War Mage Vignettes
TWs: stitches, alcohol, discussion of being shot in the head, near death experiences Dimitri shot a glare at their medic from his post at the doorway of their dim room. “We’re not going to die here.” He hissed. “I don’t care that this was a fucking trap. We don’t die.” Laredo nodded. “Remember? A war mage isn’t dead until there are two bullets in his brain.” Izan hummed. “I still think one is enough for that. I don’t think I’d want to fight after getting shot in the head, at all.” “I would.” Dimitri growled.
4: BTHB 2023 - Possession (Andrew and Tobias belong to @whumpr / @brinkofdiscovery!!
TWs: Possession “Hey, this isn’t funny.” Andrew said, forcing a nervous laugh anyway. “That wasn’t cool. C'mon.” This time, when Andrew tried to step into the room, William lunged for the door. He threw himself to the floor with a snarl before grabbing his own wrist and tugging it to his chest. “Don’t come in, please.” William’s voice broke as he whined and pressed his face into the filthy tile floor. “Don’t–it, it wants–” One hand wound into his own hair, tugging harsh enough to rip some out alongside a yelp. Elliot felt like he was suffocating. “Guys, I don’t think he’s joking.” Not even Andrew could’ve been committed enough to this bit to pull out hair, much less William. What did they even do now? William was the one who’d even brought anti-ghost shit.
5: A Month of Whump's March Trope-a-Thon Day 1 - Environmental / Snowstorm
TWs: hypothermia, non-sexual nudity Bastian growled to himself as he skidded down the rocks that Mariano had tumbled down. They hadn’t expected the path to give that far away from the edge, and Mariano hadn’t even had a chance to shout before he was swept away. “I swear to god, if he’s an icicle when I get there, I’ll let him freeze.” As the temperature kept dropping and the snow kept falling, though, Bastian had to accept that he was just complaining. He could feel the tug in his chest getting more urgent. The presence that Mariano’s magic held got weaker, sleepier. It curled up smaller and smaller, starting to flicker. When it began to fade, Bastian started running. He barrelled through snowy trees, crashed through brush, and finally, finally, it felt like he was getting close. Ripping through low hanging branches, Bastian’s heart just about stopped when he stumbled into a clearing. “Mariano!”

Rectify | Bucky Barnes
Tumblr media
Part 18/37 | Part Seventeen, Part Nineteen
Summary: I've lived every day for the past five years looking over my shoulder. I knew they'd come for me, it was inevitable. I was foolish to think I could outrun my past. It's followed me everywhere I go, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Never would I have anticipated that the shadows would lead me to the light.
Bucky Barnes x OC
Series Warnings: Discussion of human trafficking, alcohol consumption, graphic depictions of violence, sexual content, discussion of suicidal thoughts.
a/n: Hi everyone, thank you for checking this out, I appreciate any and all support! This series is also posted on Ao3 and Wattpad if you prefer those formats/platforms! This is a completed series, and it's going to take some time for me to transfer it to Tumblr, so please bear with me!
"Turns out Hydra still has a fascination for human experimentation."
I smile as I watch the plane land, they're finally back. Bucky stands beside me, shielding his eyes from the sun as he watches. The back of the plane opens, and Natasha is the first one to walk out. She looks tired. Steve is the next one out, followed by Bruce, Tony, and Fury. They all seem to be exhausted. As they walk towards the building I notice that Bruce is carrying a scepter of some sort, a bright glowing blue stone in the center.
They walk inside, Bruce keeps the scepter in his hand as we greet them. Natasha doesn't stay very long, she heads up to her room quickly. Steve and Bucky start talking about the mission, and I go to Bruce, curious about what he's brought back from the Hydra base.
"Did they have a gift shop?" I ask, gesturing towards the large, pointy scepter. Bruce laughs a little and shakes his head,
"No, no this is the scepter that Loki used when he invaded New York. The Hydra scientists were trying to dissect it and understand its capabilities. We decided it was probably better off in our hands, so now we're going to try to dissect it and understand its capabilities." Bruce explains and I nod, looking at the scepter again. It's bigger than I imagined, sharper too.
"Well this should be interesting." I say, intrigued by the idea of understanding an alien technology. I hope Tony and Bruce let me in on their studies, though I think Tony will need more persuading than Bruce. I see Fury walk outside and get back into the plane. Moments later the plane takes off again.
"Where's he going?" I ask, not understanding why Fury would leave as soon as he just got here.
"Well, the scepter wasn't the only thing we found at the base. Turns out Hydra still has a fascination for human experimentation. We detained two people, a brother and sister who both showed some interesting qualities. Fury is going to oversee their containment." Bruce explains. I feel like my heart dropped into my stomach, dreading what Hydra's next creation could possibly be.
"What sort of qualities?" I ask, interested to see if they're heading down the Winter Soldier path again, or if they've gone beyond that.
"Well, the man was fast, very fast. The woman has some sort of telekinesis ability, I've never seen anything like it." Super speed and telekinesis? That's a lot more advanced than I thought Hydra would be.
"That sounds like some serious stuff. You think they were going to try to use the scepter for enhancement purposes?" I ask, not knowing what they saw at the base.
"Possibly." Bruce answers, not entirely knowing either. I pick at the skin on my lower lip as I think about it, there's no way it's a coincidence that the scepter and enhanced people were found in the same base.
"I don't think it's a coincidence." I say, trying to recall everything I know of the Sokovian base, which isn't much at all.
"It was truly a lovely place, I might even take my next vacation there." Tony remarks and walks over to the wet bar. In an instant, it's as if the pieces fit themselves together and it all makes sense.
"No, it's definitely not a coincidence. The day this started, I was attacked in a parking lot. The Hydra agent who tried to kill me said they had moved past the work I had done, but needed what I had to finish their newest project. Their newest project was probably these new enhanced people, and they needed the programming guide I have to install it their minds and make them subservient to handlers." I explain my train of thought. Tony had paused from pouring himself a drink, Steve and Bucky stopped their conversation. I look around, waiting for someone to say something. Maybe I sound crazy, but I don't think it's too far-fetched.
"You could be right. It makes sense anyways." Bruce agrees with me. The weight of what could have happened hits me. If Hydra was able to install my programming in super-enhanced people, there's no telling the extent of damage it would create. This is just another reason to find a cure for Bucky, and then burn the book.
I wonder how the scepter fits into all of this, what role does it play in what was happening at the base? I know that it wasn't there by accident, nothing gets put in the Sokovian base by accident. I look at the glowing blue stone, feeling nervous about what we might find as we study it.
"They never stopped." Bucky says after a long pause of silence. He looks hurt, and sad. Steve puts his hand on Bucky's shoulder to comfort him.
It was foolish of me to think that Hydra would have stopped experimenting on people once I left. Although, I never visited the Sokovian base, so I'm not sure I had any impact at all on the experiments done there. Surely my work was known, otherwise they wouldn't have been looking for the programming guide. This is all bigger than I thought.
"When do we start studying it?" I ask, wanting to get started as soon as possible. It's been a while since I've done anything productive, I miss being in the lab.
"We can start today." Bruce says and looks to Tony for confirmation. Tony downs the rest of his drink and places the glass on the countertop.
"Yeah, that works." He says and walks towards the elevator. It's a nice surprise that Tony didn't protest my involvement for once.
Bruce and I follow him, leaving Steve and Bucky on the main floor. They could use some time together anyways, I don't need to constantly be there with them. They lived for years without me being there, I'm sure they won't miss me for a few hours. Tony presses the button to take us to the basement and the doors open to a vast laboratory. It's bigger than the lab back at the Shield compound. I see parts of Iron Man suits scattered around, some suits are stationed along the walls. They're incredible, I never thought I'd see one in person.
Bruce and Tony place the scepter on a table, and Tony pulls a hologram up. He instructs his artificial intelligence assistant, Jarvis, to analyze the scepter. I watch as the hologram scans and begins running tests on it. Tony starts putting things away, and Bruce stands with his arms crossed as he watches what's going on.
"What do we know about this already?" I ask, wanting to be up to speed with everything they might know about it. I might not be an expert in alien science, but I'm going to give it my best shot.
"Loki used this scepter when he invaded New York with the Chitauri. We know it has the ability to take over people's minds and make them slaves to the scepter's master. We don't know how it does it, or anything about it beyond that." Bruce tells me as I take a seat atop one of the tables.
Having the ability to take over people's minds intrigues me, and I cross my arms as I think about how that's possible. Taking over the mind is one thing, but to simultaneously tie that person to the scepter's master and subjugate them to the master's will is another thing entirely. But, now I know why it had value to Hydra. I rub my temples, trying to rationalize the science behind the stone, but falling short every time.
"It just doesn't seem like it should be possible. How can a stone dominate and manipulate a mind in the blink of an eye?" I question out loud hoping someone else, or myself, will miraculously come up with the answer.
"This is alien technology after all, maybe we should try thinking outside of the box." Tony joins the conversation and leans on the table I took a seat on. Jarvis continues running tests and scans of the scepter.
"Well, what do we know about the Chitauri?" I want to get a feel for who may have created this technology, though it's likely not to turn up much information.
"Not much. Just that they're an alien race, Thor told us they're from an unknown world." Bruce says, turning his back to the scepter to face Tony and I. So much for that avenue of thought.
It would have been nice if Hydra had any notes taken about the research they did. Knowing Hydra, if any notes exist they were taken by one person by hand in a single notebook. There's less chance of information leaks that way.
I wonder since the scepter has the ability to dominate one's mind if it's possible that the powers from the scepter granted the siblings' enhanced abilities. After all, super speed and telekinesis seem to be a very alien concept to me. If this is the case, it means that this technology is far more advanced than anything existent on Earth and can be very dangerous in the wrong hands, and perhaps even the right ones.
"What happened in Sokovia?" I broadly ask, curious about the mission as a whole as well.
"Bunch of Hydra agents, freaky siblings. Alien scepter." Tony summarizes for me, and I frown.
"Bruce?" I ask, knowing Bruce will give me a more substantive answer.
"We got there and the place was crawling with Hydra. There were more people than just the siblings there, but I don't think they were going to survive much longer. Whatever Hydra was doing it wasn't for the weak. Of course, that's just what Natasha told me, I couldn't exactly fit inside the base." Bruce tightly smiles, and I realize he was likely there as the Hulk, not Bruce Banner. I know Natasha went to her room and probably wants some space, maybe Steve can tell me more? I can wait until tonight to ask him, I don't want to interrupt his time with Bucky.
"Let's hope Jarvis can find something substantive." I say with a sigh, feeling overwhelmed with the technology on the table in front of me. It would be less daunting if we had a something solid to go off of, but we're starting at square one with the absolute bare minimum.
"He hasn't let me down yet." Tony says and walks away to go do something else while we wait.
I get off the table and walk around the lab. I inspect the Iron Man suits closely, appreciating the details of them. Tony has prototypes laying around all over the place, I bet he spends a good amount of time here when he isn't at Shield compounds.
As I look around at all the spare parts I notice the metal is all sorts of different colors. I wonder if it would be possible for Tony to remove the red star on Bucky's arm. The star isn't just red paint on the metal, it's dyed metal. If Tony is able to color his suits red and gold, perhaps he knows how to remove the color without damaging the arm. I look around and see Tony tinkering with some tools. I walk over to him and see he's working on some sort of blaster for an Iron Man suit.
"Hey Tony, I have a question." I say. I've never talked about this with Bucky, but I'm sure he's reminded of Hydra every day when he has to look at the red star. Tony looks up from his project,
"What is it?" He asks,
"Well, I see you have a lot of colored metal around, and I was wondering if you think it's possible to remove the coloring on Bucky's arm, the red star I mean." I ask, hoping he says yes and that it's an easy process.
"Yeah, I'm sure I can find a way to remove it, give me like a half hour." He says and gets up to go to another part of the lab. I follow behind him and watch as he mixes liquids together and has Jarvis run tests to see if the concoction is strong enough to break the color molecules and remove them.
Finally, after twenty minutes or so of adding things to the mixture, Tony hands me a glass beaker full of solution. The liquid smells terribly, I'm sure it isn't good to inhale.
"You can just take a cloth or something and use that to rub it off, might take some elbow grease." He says and I nod my head. I'm sure Jarvis is going to take a while to come up with a full diagnostic of the scepter, I think it'll be okay to leave for a little while.
I pass the table and look at the glowing stone as I walk to the elevator. Bruce is still watching the scepter as it's being scanned, he's probably trying to rationalize it just like I was but maybe he'll come up with something substantial. I press the button for the main floor and the elevator doors shut in front of me and within seconds they reopen.
I see Steve and Bucky still talking on the couch but they look over to me as the elevator quietly dings. I walk towards them, hoping I didn't interrupt something important. They all scrunch their noses and look at the clear liquid I have in my hands.
"What is that?" Steve asks, a disgusted look on his face. I tap the glass with my fingertips,
"Well, I was thinking that maybe Bucky would want to take the star off of his arm and this stuff will do it. Tony created it a few minutes ago. You don't have to of course, I just thought it might be nice to get rid of it." I explain, looking to Bucky. He has a thoughtful look on his face.
"I think that would be nice." He answers and I smile, happy he agrees with me. I place the glass beaker on the counter and grab a towel Tony has stored in one of the cabinet drawers. Bucky sits at the island with his left arm resting on the stone countertop.
"Are you ready?" I ask before starting the process. He takes a deep breath and nods his head,
"Yeah, I'm ready." I dip the corner of the towel into the liquid, careful to not get it on my skin. I'm sure the liquid is corrosive enough to melt my skin. Maybe I should've grabbed some gloves before doing this, but it's too late, I already started.
I rub the solution over the star, the strong odor making me want to hold my breath. Surprisingly, the solution works like a charm and the red dye starts fading quickly. I put some elbow grease into it, like Tony suggested, as I rub back and forth and see the red dye stain the white towel. I hope Tony wasn't too attached to this towel.
After rubbing the liquid on the star for fifteen minutes, it's finally completely gone. I place the towel in the trash, knowing the red dye ruined it. I keep the beaker on the table because I'm sure I'm not supposed to dispose of it down the drain, it'll probably eat through the pipes.
I look at Bucky's arm, seeing that it's now solid silver, there's no red star blemishing it. Bucky stands up and finds the closest mirror on the wall. He turns his left side towards the mirror and looks at his arm for a few moments. He runs his fingers over the spot where the star once was and it's like he's in awe that it's gone. He turns to me with a smile on his face, and engulfs me in a tight hug, my toes lifting off the ground.
"Thank you." He says in my ear, causing me to smile.
"Of course." I say as he puts me down gently. We hold eye contact for a few moments, and I wish I could just place my hand on his jaw and brush my thumb over his strong cheekbones. Steve clears his throat, which knocks the thought from my head and I step away from Bucky slightly. Steve looks between us both, skepticism on his face but his tone remains cheerful.
"It looks great, Buck." He says. I feel the tension in the room and decide to take the solution back down to the lab where Tony may have a safe way of disposing of it without destroying the pipes.
As I go back to the lab and walk past the table, I hear Jarvis start speaking. I set the glass on the table and freeze as I hear what Jarvis says,
"Analysis complete." My heart starts thumping with anticipation and I join Tony and Bruce's side, eager to hear what Jarvis found.

I don’t want this to take away from the current discussion on my blog and will be reblogging my other two posts again after this is posted but I just needed to expose this clown before I left for my hiatus (post on that will be up soon!) 
It's also a good laugh and a good way for me to decompress after the last two days we've had on this blog so that I would be able to be more present to answer future incoming asks. So enjoy me clowning on this hater [also ya non-binary pal has logged off for the time being - enjoying their lunch and watching Barbie so this post, my next post and reblogs are queued!]:
Tumblr media
Here is the text for everyone (I know the pic is quite tiny sorry!):
For someone who spends there days writing essays about how much they hate everything and everyone except Simone you can’t write fanfic can you? 😂 so not only are you a bully who now has some sort of fetish for hating strangers especially if they’re white you also can’t write fanfic 😬 yikes. I mean I didn’t expect anything less from you
Let’s unpack this, shall we?
“They hate everything and everyone except Simone”
Also first off, actually even though this is hate, I’m so glad you used the correct pronouns I appreciate that but now that’s cleared up, back to clowning on you. 
UM WHERE??? I literally love the whole cast, the only one I dislike and have since lost respect for is Nicola and I’ve never been quiet about why - she has committed and fuelled microaggressions against her co-stars of colour and as a person of colour myself, I CANNOT in good conscious still support and admire someone like that. I am allowed to dislike celebrities who have a big platform if I don’t agree with their beliefs and the way they treat people right? We’re still in a time where we hold celebrities accountable, yes??? 
you can’t write fanfic can you?
That’s YOUR opinion, my AO3 numbers - which you have prolly seen, stalker - and my other fanfic’s numbers say otherwise. 
Tumblr media
This is 499K (give or take for rereads) number of people who disagree with you and numbers don’t lie anon. Also if you didn’t like my fic, then don’t read it??? It’s clearly not for you??
so not only are you a bully who now has some sort of fetish for hating strangers especially if they’re white
WHOOO am I bullying?? Nicola Coughlan?? She doesn’t even know I exist!! Also here’s a mirror, dear anon. Read back your comment, who’s the one doing the bullying? Also “especially if they are white” I’m sorry most of the racists and bloggers I’ve encountered who have used microaggressions have happened to be white, is that my fault?? Did I birth them??
Also ewwww I do not sexually get off on hating people, that’s gross. Please go get a dictionary and look up the word fetish please.
We already covered you saying I can’t write fanfic, again the 499K number of people disagree. My my, you are repetitive, aren’t you.
I mean I didn’t expect anything less from you
Cool story and I said what I said bro. You seemed to have already have made up your mind about me, so just block me and move on. Why go find my AO3 to leave a message there when you can just drop a good ole hate anon on Tumblr. Like you really took time out of your day, found a way to leave anon messages (I don’t use AO3 a lot so if this is common knowledge oop) and then left that on my fic in an attempt to hurt me.
You really thought you did something huh, when in fact if everyone will look at the timestamp on the pic (would have taken a bigger close up of a screenie but I had to report that comment as spam asap), it says: 28th Jul 2022, 11:27PM UTC which was at 7am for me who even is up at that time? Not me. Anyways yes, this person thought they knew me sooo well to be able to read me for filth (which they also failed to do so) but didn’t realise I’m barely on AO3 so I only saw this only A WHOLE MONTH LATER which makes me laugh harder.
Anyways anon whoever you are, you titled your comment as “Sanji Is A Bully Who Can Dish It But Can’t Take It”, well you’re a -10 but can’t come off anon to tell me all of this to my face so,,,
After all is said and done, thank you for the month old laugh before I leave and again I really do appreciate you not misgendering me and using the wrong pronouns! That’s exactly how hate should be, “Imma disrespect them as a person and their writing but not their pronouns!!”
[Btw that above sentence is not an invite to send more hate, anything else moving forward will be reported, blocked and deleted. This was just funny to respond to and helped me refocus my mind from burnout so I can be more present for the upcoming conversations!]
Oh and I made a meme for this occasion, while a month late it still works: 
Tumblr media
Nonsense being anon hate of course but I'm pretty surprised I went unscathed this long. It's been 34 days without any, so thanks anon you broke the streak sigh shame on you.
[Though if we count when they sent it, it's only 9 days but nah they don't count in the famous words of Colin so 34 days it is! It's funnier too nsjdksk]
Anyways back to the usual programming and reblogging my last few asks before I head off to my hiatus! Hope yall had a laugh too from this 😂

Me getting my self in some where that no Body call me LMAO, Dan in fact is bad as character and has toxic behaviors (honestly just as Spectra but damn like my job is to make fun of Spectra and call him baby girl and Choke memes), the new people in the fandom are not our responsability just as they can consume from any side of the fandom or artist that makes the confort character they love.
After all, Not everyone likes all the characters nor my favorite ship and I can co-exist with the fandom just as everyone else lol
liking a character isn't a problem at all and i get the apprehension someone might feel when they see someone criticizing or poking fun at their favorite. but in this case, with how popular dan seems to be now (he wasn't before? at least from what i can remember) and how dan stans constantly hate on runo and other fem characters...well fuck it i'm posting dan critical shit in the tag lmfao. at least my hate of him is grounded in canon and i can cite instances that annoy me, as well as show how the show and the fandom's misogynistic tendencies come out. can't say the same for some people, but maybe that's just me being mean as anon likes to put it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i do think, at the least, we have the responsibility to tag properly, which was anon's main point. so now i'll be tagging any dan hate as #dan critical so anyone who doesn't want to see dan hate can blacklist that and focus on more positive things if they so please. that doesn't mean that i'm going to stop tagging it with the main bakugan tag though. i'd much rather there be avenues for discussion on dan's character than blind "ooooo he's so good!" and of course i want to share mean jokes because i am unfortunately a little mean and conceited.
also same, LMAO you just gotta live and let live. not everyone's gonna like dan or whatever character/ship, and people should be able to both block that out and bring up the conversation with whoever wants to talk about it. i'll talk about how i both love shun and how much i hate how the fandom talks about and characterizes him. get you a girl (gn) who can do both.

Tumblr media
↘    independent && private WARRIOR OF LIGHT and CANON MUSES from FFXIV ↘    canon divergent, headcanon heavy ↘    multi - para, multi - ship, ship friendly ↘    mun is 21↑  runs on a GMT +8 timezone
 LIST OF CANON CHARACTERS
GUIDELINES
01. this is an independent, selective and private blog. i’ll only interact with mutuals. due to my lack of time, I may be slow. please understand. 
Please softblock / hardblock if you do not wish to interact anymore. There’ll be no hard feelings, of course. You do what you have to do but please just soft / hardblock to make it clear. Thank you !
WHEN SENDING IC ASKS / LIKING A STARTER CALL, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH MUSE YOU WISH TO WRITE AGAINST. WE’RE ALL SIMPS HERE, NO JUDGEMENT.
this blog is iconless ( for now ) until life becomes less grindy.
THREADS
02. one-liners, multipara are all okay. i lean more towards the latter but i wouldn’t mind doing one-liners either for fun.
03. usually, i match length. but i can also write a lot. i write a hecking lot, especially when it comes to meme in askbox. i ramble a lot. but don’t feel stressed over matching lengths - just give me something to reply to.
04. if you wish to continue a thread from asks, feel free to continue from that post ( since i formatted it that way so that there can be a thread without the ask lodging at the top ).
05. i’m known as a bit of a muse bicycle so i can roleplay any side characters to spice things up on and complement the threads. 
06. i will drop threads if i don’t feel it anymore but i will try my best to let you know about it beforehand and maybe we can either discuss another plot or shake hands and walk away like mature adults if nothing else works. there’s no pressure to continue interacting with me if there isn’t chemistry between the mun either !
CANON DIVERGENCE
07. one of my wols is a shard of hermes rather than azem because i like to mess around like that. however, that does not cancel out amon being the canonically shard of hermes. two can co-exist in roleplays and such. things can always be worked out. 
08. same wol being zenos’s half brother has always been a thing for years ( thanks to eorzea encyclopedia referring zenos as a firstborn ) and it still is. as such romantic shipping is not possible with zenos / emet-selch / varis.
IF, times comes when i write with writers of these characters, i won’t push this plot on you, and i will always ask permission before mentioning it.
09. at any case if you strongly prefer me to omit the above two backgrounds in our threads, let me know. as long as you’re polite about it, i’m flexible.
SHIPPING
10. multi-ship, and is generally alright with most ships. feel free to chat me up if you find that our muse has chemistry / has potential to develop good chemistry. note that i require mutual plotting and interactions between muse and mun for a ship to happen.
NSFW
11. yes, i am over 20 but i most likely will not be writing sex stuff with just anyone off the bat. main reason being i am not very motivated by it. i do like to write the foreplay though but anything that comes after is pretty hard to interest me unless it’s with a shipping partner.
NO-NOs
12. please don’t come to my dms with passive aggressiveness and uppity in regards to how i write my character. for one, this is canon divergent and headcanon heavy. i don’t care that much about sticking to canon to a tee. i love to bend the lore, twist the rules around and entertain to the best of my creative abilities. i only focus on making myself a very happy writer and hopefully someone a very happy writing partner. if you're not a flexible person like me, then i'm not the writing partner for you.
14.  mun =/= muse, this goes without saying. but if my muses becomes a bit too much, just let me know nicely and i’ll try and dial them down. your comfort is important but don’t be a jerk about it.
15. i also don’t really care for drama or what people do with their blogs. life is too short for all that nonsense, yeah? if you are hurt, you can vent to me if you want or need to but otherwise, i don’t engage in fandom drama.
16. no god-modding, obviously. and try not to have your muse know things that my muse wouldn’t tell anyone. some of my muses are pretty tightlipped but i assure you that opening up this tuna can is not that hard and a bit of a writing can make the tuna sandwich all the more tasty. 
17. I have massive social anxiety, coupled with a lot of other shit with my mental health so I will be selective with who I will continue to thread with. If something bothers me, I’ll let you know nicely and gently. If we still don’t click, I’ll have to drop threads or plotting ( though I will still be open with working things out ) but again, I’ll let you know nicely and gently. Please be open to that possibility!
i have discord and i’m all willing to share with mutuals. just hit me up!

Hi line! You're about to hate me 😂
3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 all for JATP
I could never hate you!! But that is a lot, so let's dive right in, shall we? I don't remember which ones I already answered yesterday, but hey, maybe you'll get a different answer anyway, right?!
3. What inspires you to keep creating fanworks?
Phew! Honestly, I haven't done much in the JATP fandom for a while, and that makes me sad, but I haven't given up completely. Just haven't been bitten by that particular bug lately. Usually, though, it's just a song or a prompt that I hear/see and my brain goes, "***Whatever particular ship it makes me think of!!***"
4. What are your favorite types of fanworks to make?
I'm still not 100% sure how this question is intended to be taken. I only write fics, I can't draw or write music or poetry to save my life, and I absolutely love it when my fics either get my yelled at (that masochistic streak we discussed) or people tell me they literally laughed out loud at something I wrote.
6. What has been one of your favorite fandom experiences?
Hands down, the friends I have made. Even though I am barely active in the JATP fandom lately, I still talk to many of the friends I made there on a daily basis.
8. Who are three fanwork creators that you love seeing on your dash?
Oh, my word! I'm quick to unfollow someone if I don't like at least the majority of the stuff they post, so it's hard to narrow it down. I always love to see anything posted by molinapattersons, tillstarscollided and legolasghosty, but I'm too old to figure out how to actually @ them.
9. What's a fanwork that made you laugh?
crest barrel break made me laugh! Love some oblivious idiots. hi, welcome to shark week was also very funny, but in a totally different way. Then there's ride until i can't no more..., which is just....man. I could probably keep going with these for most of the night.
10. What's a fanwork that made you cry?
It's been a while since I read it, but Adrift on Your Silence had so many emotions, including liquid leaking from my eyes.
11. What's a fanwork that made you squeal?
There are so many, I am absolutely positive, but I'm gonna have to go with Adrift on Your Silence again. Seriously, it's so good. Go read it.
15. What three fanworks are you the proudest of making?
Ain't Nothing Funny When a Soldier Cries, which I co-wrote with Emi & Robyn. It's painful, but it turned out so much more beautifully than I ever could have imagined when I had the initial ear worm.
You Rescued Me From Reachin' for the Bottom. Again, it just turned out so much better than I ever imagined when a friend said, "Would you please write a fic about a slow dance to this song?"
Girl Crush (I Wanna Taste Her Lips) was so, so much fun to write, and it's the first fic that really got me yelled at. (So basically, you can thank the people who yelled at me about that fic for all the other pain I have written.)
16. Are there fanworks in JATP that you've revisited multiple times?
Basically anything I have bookmarked, plus a few that I just happen to run across in random searches and read even though I have already read them.
18. What fanwork of yours would you like more fans to check out?
I don't really know. Girl Crush is by far the fic with the most hits, and even that only has 1700. I'm just not a well-known writer, and that's gonna have to be okay by me.
19. What fanwork by someone else would you like more fans to check out?
Absolutely anything by relightthatspark or legolasghosty. They're both amazingly talented writers who don't get nearly enough recognition.
21. What is a recent fic you read for JATP that you enjoyed?
I have honestly been on a huge HP kick for a while now, so that JATP I have read has been read as a beta, and I think most of it isn't posted yet.
22. Tag someone who brings great vibes to the JATP fandom!
Tumblr isn't letting me tag....but you, Shelly, Emi, Legolas, Robyn, Kay, and SO. MANY. OTHERS.
25. What unique thing do you think you bring to the JATP fandom?
I dunno about "unique," but I try to help people (when they want it) with the "mom perspective." Try to help them dig into Emily's head and why she reacted the way she did, rather than playing the whole "Emily was just a horrible mom" angle. Most people don't really wanna hear that side of it, but if someone does, my inbox is open. :)

Final thoughts on...
The Shining Live update OOOH BOY! First off let me be VERY CLEAR that everything in this post is my opinion and that is all.  I do not expect people to agree with it but this opinion piece is coming from someone that enjoys a wide variety of games and they like to see when devs listen to feedback.  I am sad to say I don’t think that happened here. So for the past 6 days or so we in the Shining Live fandom were treated to 6 days worth of new features that were going to be added in the game.  The timing on the East Coast was odd af because for some reason the devs decided that 5 AM in the morning here on the East Coast was as good a time as any (as oppose to say Midnight/1 AM when a normal event would start) when probably a good amount of people in their audience might have still been asleep.  Don’t get me wrong as we know that Broccoli has a habit of releasing major news “under the cover of darkness” but 5 AM was just odd! When I read the first one I admit that one didn’t bother me and to be honest it still doesn’t.  The idea of expanding the Memorial board to include Photgraphs and such I am okay with.  Not ENTIRELY THRILLED considering that now it just leads to arguably more needless grinding (and the gem totals are ridiculous as all hell) but we make do with it because of “reasons”. Where I started to take issue with the game was when they said they would incorporate the idea of a “Score Battle” and “Crown Challenge”.  To me neither of these made sense to add cos it was just another needless grinding event that shows they didn’t really think about the players that didn’t care about these types of things.  Most of us just wanted to have the story continue so giving us these kinds of challenges was like “Huh?!” The 4th one I could have taken or left but the idea of expanding the voice lines...okay?!  Like there might be people that wanted this and that’s cool...the problem is that to me it was more cosmetic just like the all the updates really.  Like I said I had no problem with adding the expansion to the memorial board but the VERY LEAST they could have done there is not make the prices so high to be able to get the next parts.  I get for UR and SRs fine but RAREs...ffs mang! The addition of the songs that were put in the campaign is cool.  Like its cool to have ML2K and Poison Kiss added but we know those songs PROBABLY aren’t going to be story songs any time soon...or at the very least NOT till after the S1 singles come out in the game because it doesn’t make sense storywise...then again we DO have ML1K (regular) in the game LONG BEFORE the singles so anything is possible. Running the commercials in Japan is fine but are they going to be running the Global version ads over there?  That almost makes no sense to me cos it seems like they SHOULD be advertising it HERE but that’s just me The idea of giving away free 11 pulls is cool...the issue is its supposed to be 1 day for 5 days (unless I missed something) and well...I got my first one when I got up yesterday but I thought that would reset after 3PM my time for #2 (this is something they do with events where you get the event login bonus when the event starts and then at the login time) but no luck...I guess I have to wait till 3 PM today to get it but then again they didn’t specify. The real kick in the jewels is that when you look at the idea of the 11 pulls (10 is TsukiPara...gotta remember that) a lot of Global fans wanted the past event cards in it.  KLab KNOWS THIS because they have to have seen the remarks under the updates hoping they would get that.  I know some fans want HEAVENS (as do I) but I’m going to be patient on that...the timeline hasn’t granted us the proper time to do it yet (and yes this is even WITH QN in the game already). what is going to be really interesting is to see when they try to do the next “major update” because in 2 months is 8th Anniversary.  I have said I thought a huge update was coming THEN because of the fact that Broc always announces big stuff coming for the franchise and then we got this update.  Does that mean that we WON’T see a Summer Update?  Well no because think about this This update was done in the end of April...think about the way Japan releases their Animes for the different seasons IN JAPAN the seasons for new programmes can go something like this Winter - January to about the end of March Spring - Early April to about the End of June Summer - The beginning of July to about the end of September Autumn - Early October to the end of the year Now why do I bring this up? Well its possible that since they did this update they might want to wait a good bit.  3 months is a good amount of time but what if they wanted to make the next update around November.  Well what (potentially) could be out around then? The HEAVENS Movie single! Its known that right now we have not heard hide nor hair about the movie but that might be coming to an end in about 9 days tine.  If that’s the case consider this part of the post invalid but the fact is that we haven’t so right now its a very interesting time. As for Shining Live things aren’t looking too good...well for me they are fine right now cos I’m over yonder in another part of the gaming world rocking out to tunes with my boys from TsukiPro and enjoying life.  That said do I think that the game has a chance after this “popcorn fart” of an update?  Well yeah but we have to get there and I’m sorry to say...I do think we are in for a very long and depressing wait for that to happen!

Hi, not necessarily jikook related, but I wanted your opinion about something of the perilla leaf discussion that I haven’t seen mentioned.
One thing I really don’t like about K-pop in general is the gatekeeping of the artists, so much so that if they are found out to have a SO it’s a huge scandal. I think two idols posted “apology” posts for their fans when they got married/had kids. Now I know this is something cultural that I clearly cannot wrap my head around, but I find it quite sad.
So back to BTS, I was very surprised about the perilla leaf discussion because it was them admitting (albeit indirectly) that they date and have relationships. Hopefully it is not news to anyone that men in their middle-to-late twenties date, but seeing the culture around Kpop in general I thought it was very cool that hybe would release that video (not to mention the whole gender neutral language use that dalloga explained).
I know it’s nothing but maybe one day the culture around idols can change (not that they should disclose their relationship status, just you know live their life knowing that if their relationship is founding out/they want to disclose it they don’t risk losing their careers).
A-HA. This is the commentary on the perilla leaf I was looking for. Thanks, nice anon! Here, please enjoy a pretty Jeon-Park hug-and-rub because NOTHING TO SEE HERE NOBODY DATING ANYONE AHEM (and thanks to phorenjj on twt for it because i stole it from them LOOK AT JEIKEI'S HAND) :
This stuck out to me and I have a call later with Kevin for oppa reasons (he hovers, lately) so I'm gonna ask him. About the perilla leaf thing, not about JeiKei's hand. Because I agree with you.
I haven't seen @dalloga 's explanation but I love her so whatever she said is definitely correct. For me I just noticed that the word used was gender neutral in Korean. It just means "partner" basically and can be used for any gender, so it was a good choice and I was happy to hear it. My spoken Korean is truly awful but I know a little bit. Kev's trying y'all. HE'S TRYING. Regardless, the intent was there not to say "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" specifically but to punt that word in favor of a gender neutral term, and I appreciated that. AND HOLY CATS YES I have been hoping someone would bring up the "oh hey we are adults who, y'know, peel perilla leaves and have partners and do adult sex things" because THIS IS SO UNUSUAL FOR KOREAN ARTISTS. Y'all know this is very out of the ordinary when just last year iKON's Bobby had to apologize to fans for getting married and fathering a child. In 2020 EXO's Chen did the same, even though he did not say he was sorry when his wife had their second child in January. It's an issue. We've seen how stans handled Tae's probable girlfriend and his response to that fairly recently. These guys even THINK about showing up with a woman (god forbid a man) and we like to think ARMY would be cool with it but based on my observations, that is NOT THE CASE. Maybe half of us would be fine, even supportive, but there are real, actual dangerous solo stans out there who could and would present a physical threat to the safety of ANY significant other. There's a whole slew of reasons our guys have ALL stayed "single" all this time, even though it's very likely that the majority of them are involved outside the group and two of them have been a couple for years. And I do think Bang and Co. are supportive of, IDK, letting grown ass adults be, IDK, grown ass adults. Which, in K-pop, is refreshing. I dunno if it's just BTS or if they'll do the same for other groups. I hope they do.
Speaking of whom, have some pretty Jikook doing that photoshoot hug.
Tumblr media
Thanks again, nice anon. :)

Hooked On Your Feelings - Chapter Two (FWB! Tom Holland x Reader)
Tumblr media
SERIES MASTERLIST
Warnings: Some angst, language, eventual smut in future chapters, fluff
Word Count: 5255
Summary: After a bad breakup, making an agreement with your womanizing neighbor, Tom to be friends with added benefits and no strings attached seemed like the perfect idea. Until things become messy, emotions caused your agreement to crumble.
A/N:  I am HYPE to post this new chapter! Omg I just love writing this series so much its so fun writing Tom like this lol. Also low key...this chapter has an easter egg to a pervious series of mine and I’m v curious if anyone catches it but probably not because its superrr tiny but either way I hope you guys like this one! Obviously, smut is in this chapter! DM me to be tagged and I cannot wait to hear everyone’s thoughts! (Also .gif is not mine. DM me for credit please, I found on google!) Thank you xx -N
“What happened to that girl you took home the other night from The Lace Rabbit?” Harrison asked as he ordered his lunch before he took a seat at the table with Tom. It was typical for them to meet up during the week on their lunch breaks and catch up when they were not busy being wingmen for the other while bar hopping on the weekends. 
Tom shrugged off Harrison’s question as he took a bite of his sandwich, “She got a little clingy so I had Y/N help me get rid of her,” he smiled as he said your name out loud. His friends knew of you as the hot girl who lived next door who bailed him out of sticky situations. Always teasing Tom how he could never actually get you. The irony made it all too funny for him, “How’d it go with that blonde girl?” he asked to change the subject off of him.
He didn’t know if he should bring up the two of you sleeping together with Harrison. Harrison was his best friend and wouldn’t judge but he knew he’d give Tom shit for it. He’d want to know details of your arrangement or how it came about, if you were really that good and Tom didn’t feel comfortable answering that. Not if it was about you. He didn’t want his other friends knowing about you in the way he did. That was personal between you both and he wanted to show you he respected you.
“It didn’t,” Harrison admitted while taking a sip of his water. He let out a chuckle as he felt himself blushing, “Forgot her name and she spilt her drink on me. Can’t say I didn’t deserve that one,” he at least knew when he was in the wrong.
Tom cringed into his sandwich as he let out a cackle, “You definitely deserved it, mate,” he laughed with another bite. His phone vibrated in his pocket but he chose to ignore it, knowing like clock work what it probably was. It was going to ruin the rest of his day and he at least wanted to enjoy lunch with his friend before getting pissed off for the day.
“She’d probably love you,” Harrison teased. 
“Fuck off,” Tom rolled his eyes with a laugh. “I’m not taking your angry seconds.”
“Don’t knock angry sex til you try it,” Harrison smirked knowingly. 
Tom shook his head as he once again ignored the phone ringing, “I think I’m good, thanks,” he brushed it off with another eyeroll. 
He didn’t know why he suddenly felt weird talking about their last venture out at the club. Maybe it was because Tom knew where he ended up after that girl had left and he knew what that meant for the both of you. But Tom wasn’t done with his bachelor days, and even you knew that. Hell, you practically insisted since this was a no strings attached deal.
It just felt strange not telling Harrison about you. Like it was a weird secret. But at the same time, he felt oddly protective of you. Not wanting his friends to see you as some girl he was getting laid with. Or worse, a potential love interest. He knew it wasn’t going to happen. Hell would be freezing over before Tom decided on any sort of long term obligation. But he knew his friends and he knew they wouldn’t see this is a simple agreement between two friends. And he didn’t want to deal with that conversation.
Staying quiet was the better option. For his own sanity. And...well, would you care if he told anyone about this? Tom figured that was another rule he’d have to ask about. He didn’t want to overstep any boundaries and he knew you had a list of rules as well that he was happy to follow. As long as that meant one thing and one thing only: non-exclusive.
Harrison noticed Tom’s phone buzzing for the third time. And Tom ignored it for the third time. He checked the message with a huff of his breath before turning the screen face down on the table, going back to his lunch before he had to get back to work.
“Clingy girl?” Harrison nodded towards Tom’s phone. 
Tom shook his head, “My mother was supposed to visit this weekend but you know the routine,” he mumbled into his food, not even wanting to respond to her.
“Let me guess,” Harrison began, knowing exactly where this was going since he knew Tom’s whole story inside and out. Including the bits he hated to discuss which was mainly his family, “Going skiing with Clint in Veil instead?” he questioned knowingly.
Tom scoffed out a laugh at his guess, “Surfing with Clint in Malibu but same shit,” he corrected as he tried not to let it get to him. But even Harrison could tell he was getting bothered by it once again and who could honestly blame him.
 Always the same story every time no matter what and Tom grew tired of her antics. He couldn’t even blame Clint for it anymore considering she’d been this way since he was a kid before he was even in the picture. Only now she would just use him as the perfect excuse to get out of coming to visit.
He knew he shouldn’t care anymore but he couldn’t help it. It wasn’t something easy for him to simply let go of. It was his mother. And no matter how many times he’d try she would always give him back the bare minimum and it always made him upset. She was his one final connection to him and she could care less about any of it, so why did Tom? It always got under his skin and he loathed that it did.
But he would still invite her. No matter how miserable it made him.
“Well at least now you’re free this weekend,” Harrison broke his thought while he gathered their garbage before they headed back to work, “The usual at The Lace Rabbit this Saturday then?” he suggested with a knowing smile to try and get Tom out of his mood.
Grabbing his phone, Tom clutched it tightly as he inhaled sharply. Knowing his change of plans meant doing his normal routine even though he was looking forward to the slight change this weekend, which now just seemed bleak to him
.
“Yeah,” Tom agreed as he tapped your name on his phone but hesitated when he saw his mother trying to call for a fourth time, “The usual this weekend.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your chest tensed as you got into your car after your extremely long day in the office. Everything around you felt heavy and you couldn’t wait to get home as soon as you could but you found yourself still frozen in your car. Unable to move as the moments from earlier this afternoon invaded your thoughts once again while you tried your best to move in. Even though you knew you were completely grief stricken and didn’t know what the hell to do.
The promotion was yours, at least you had thought it was by the way your boss would constantly hint at it. You knew it was never a definite thing, but you were confident in the hard work you had put into your job and knew you were a top contender for the spot. You worked longer hours, took on extra tasks, you even worked on the occasional weekend to get your work done. Taking every precaution necessary to prove that you were the best fit for the role.
Everything felt like it was lining up for you. Co-workers were giving you a pat on the back for your work accomplishments, your boss was taking note of everything you were doing, and you overall felt really good about where you stood for the potential position. So imagine your surprise when you attended the big luncheon and your boss announced his undeserving son was getting the spot instead of you.
It was both nepotism and misogyny rolled into one and it made your stomach turn the longer you had thought about it. None of it made any sense and it was far from fair. You knew you were the one more deserving of the position, the whole office knew it. Even your damn boss knew but he chose his damn son over you and it felt like a stab right to your gut.
You felt so betrayed and beside yourself as you finally decided to head home. Tears streamed down your cheeks while you tried to focus on the road but you just couldn’t ignore the facts. How were you going to be able to show up and take orders now from your boss’ son? You knew the job more than he did and it felt like a huge screw you.
On your drive home, you tried to make yourself feel better by putting on some music to distract yourself but nothing helped. You felt beyond defeated and frustrated right now you didn’t know what was going to make you feel better at the moment. It felt like the world was against you. Between finding Justin with another woman and your job, you were really batting one thousand lately and you weren’t sure when you would catch a break.
Things were not going how you planned at all. The thought of just quitting your job and starting all over again crossed your mind but the fear of the unknown kept haunting you. You didn’t know which direction to go in or who to turn to for advice anymore. You were slowly drowning and you needed someone to throw you a goddamn life jacket already.
You were relieved to finally be home. Maybe some peace and quiet would make you feel a little better, you thought to yourself while you kicked your shoes off and turned some music on for yourself. Trying to put the day behind you and focus on the present moment while you got changed into more comfortable clothes to unwind.
You jumped out of your skin when you heard a knock at your door, not expecting anybody to come by right now. Pulling your hair up into a bun, you headed back towards the door and looked through the peephole. To your surprise, you weren’t really surprised at all. You were actually sort of relieved when you opened the door and saw Tom standing there holding a pizza box.
“That better have extra cheese,” you asked with a narrowed expression while you invited him inside with the pizza that he would always bring you even in normal times. 
Placing the box on the kitchen table, Tom opened it with a grin as he showed you the pizza pie with cheese practically oozing from the crusts, “Figured it was an extra toppings sort of day,” he admitted, knowing he really needed the escape from reality. Even if it was just a pizza.
“Tell me about it,” you sighed as you grabbed a piece closest to you as Tom handed you a paper plate. You headed over towards your refrigerator to grab you both a few beers while Tom leaned up against your kitchen counter as he devoured his slice, “I’m guessing you had a bad day judging by your pizza presentation?” knowing there wasn’t really any particular reason he’d be coming over with it today. Unless if he wanted something?
You slowed your pace back from the fridge wondering if he was going to pick up on how you were feeling. You weren’t entirely sure if you wanted him to notice. Whenever you and Tom had a pizza night it was merely to gossip about your lunatic neighbors or watch a game together. You talked about casual things but never really gone into depth or prying into each other’s lives. Why did it feel like suddenly you wanted something different? Would sex change that much in your friendship?
“We can just ignore that...we don’t have to talk about unimportant stuff,” you waved it off. Tom didn’t need to hear about your miserable day. And you didn’t want to pry into his. 
He swallowed the last bite of his slice, “If something makes you upset, it’s not unimportant,” he noted. But when he noticed you just looking at him, he raised his hands in surrender. “Ignore my philosophical ass. But I’d like to hear about your day, you know,” he laughed it off. 
What the hell was he doing? He thought to himself. Don’t let personal shit ruin this. Enjoy her company. That’s it. 
“I didn’t get the promotion,” you told him. You had mentioned to Tom a while ago that your boss was hinting at it but you never went into detail with him about it. You weren’t used to Tom actually wanting to be open or the other way around. And you’d be lying if you said you weren’t slightly surprised Tom even gave a crap about stuff like this. 
Tom frowned at your answer and he felt his heart sink a bit when you told him the truth about your bad day. He didn’t know much about your job but he was sure you were a hard worker. He saw how much you loved your job and how passionate you were about it when it would come up. You would share upcoming projects with him from time to time and he would see the look on your face whenever you explained them to him. So hearing that you were passed by for a promotion was upsetting to him.
“I...shit, Y/N,” he put his pizza down as he walked over towards to give you a hug. Sliding his hands around your waist he pulled you into him as he felt you relax against his chest, “You didn’t deserve that,” he added softly.
You allowed Tom to embrace you, his warmness comforting you a bit before you pulled away and started crying when telling him about your boss’ son getting the job instead of you. Making you laugh by calling him every name in the book, you and Tom finally found a common ground as you kept venting to him.
Tom pulled away slowly, his hand resting at your chin while he licked his lips, “You’re boss sounds like a fucking prick, I hope you know that,” he told you reassuringly. The small smile you formed when he spoke made him want to keep making you feel better, “I’m glad you’re smiling,” he blushed at his confession.
Stretching your mouth wider, you flashed Tom a playful yet overly wide grin to deflect the attention he gave to you. The two of you laughed as Tom pulled away with a loud chuckle, shaking his head at your sudden silliness, “That has to be the most hideous smile. But we’ll work on it,” he told you through his laughter.
You rolled your eyes before going back to your pizza, giving Tom a look as you nudged him, “Not gonna tell me about what happened to you?” you finally asked.
Tom tensed as he tried to brush it off with a simple shrug into his pizza. The thought of his mother’s texts and ridiculous apologies and excuses continued to drive him crazy as he mumbled into his bite, “It’s stupid shit,” he told you as he swallowed the crust he was chewing, “Mom stuff, not important,” he added bluntly.
You could see the look on his face and could tell it was important to him but you didn’t want to force him to talk about it. Tom was never one to bring up his family ever to you and that was the first time you had ever heard him even mention his mother. He never spoke of his father, at least to you, so you just assumed both were out of his life for whatever reason and it was none of your business to ask.
 And Tom refused to admit it but he wanted you to ask about him. Spending hours upon hours at bars, turning his focus always onto the girl; because he knew no girl would ever want to go home with a self righteous, egotistical guy. It was never something Tom minded to do, especially with complete strangers who he would never open up to in a million years. It might have been the recent development he had with you but there was something refreshing he felt around you and as much as it freaked him out, he didn’t seem to mind.
But diving into his mommy issues with you now seemed too much to deal with right now. You were dealing with more than enough problems with your job and your miserable ex-boyfriend, he figured you didn’t need to hear his bitching right now anyway. He came here to get away from those shitty thoughts, not open those wounds further. 
Tom came here for a distraction.
Licking his lips, Tom perked up as he looked at you fervidly, “Wanna have sex?” he asked matter of factly. He figured he didn’t need to beat around the bush since you had your arrangement but maybe he was a bit too direct with his request. Tom cleared his throat as he tried to save the night, “I-I mean, I just figured since we both had shitty days that maybe we could uhm-”
“Thought you’d never ask,” you cut him off with a smirk and you perked up as well, nodding as you smoothed out your hair. Standing back up as you turned your back towards him, removing your shirt in the process, “Let’s go,” you called over your shoulder as you headed towards your room.
“Oh, we’re jumping right in,” Tom mumbled to himself as he practically fell off his chair to follow you into your room, tossing his shirt beside yours as he practically froze already seeing you completely undressed, “Christ…” he breathed out while taking you in. 
You rolled your eyes as you walked over to him, bringing your lips to his now bare shoulder, “You’re really acting like you haven’t seen me like this the other day?” You laughed against his skin while you began to suck a bruise against him, hearing him let out a gasp while your hand snaked into his pants sneakily, “Beginning to really like this whole friends with benefits thing we have,” you laughed as you found Tom’s lips.
Practically growling into your kiss, Tom lifted you up and lowered you onto your back on your bed. His lips traveled from yours, to your stomach, dipping his tongue into your belly button as you moaned quietly before he brought himself down between your thighs. His lips peppering your inner thigh before he got straight to the point because this whole arrangement meant no foreplay. Another plus for Tom.
“Darling, I think you may be the best friend I’ve ever had,” Tom breathed out a laugh as he pressed his tongue flatly against your clit. Sliding two of his fingers into your core while he slowly pumped in and out of you, “This is what got me through my day today,” he told you before he brought his mouth back to your core.
You arched your back while your fingers went towards Tom’s curls. His name began to fall from your lips while he lapped his tongue carefully, letting it slip inside of you as he continued to tease you with his mouth. His fingers sliding into you again, adding a third as he moaned against your center; allowing the vibrations to roll throughout your entire body.
“Mmm, oh, fuck...!” you cried out, yanking gently against Tom’s hair as you felt the coil beginning to burn from inside of you. Biting your lip to stifle another moan, “Fuck...yo-you’re really good at that,” you breathed out with a small laugh which turned into a whimper.
With his head peering up at you, Tom flashed you a cocky smile with a playful wink as he licked your folds teasingly, “Did you seriously doubt my abilities to make you cum with my mouth, Y/N?” he raised his eyebrow while pumping his fingers now tantalizingly slow, “You’re gonna pay for that comment,” he said to you.
“Just...shut up and make me cum, Tom,” you told him through another gasp as you felt his teeth drag teasingly against your already throbbing bud. His lips wrapped around it as he sucked more harshly, doing exactly as you had asked him to do, “Ungh...oh god, okay. Yeah, keep doing that,” you instructed as you began to grind your hips against his mouth.
Tom took it as a challenge and picked up his pace, beginning to flick your clit faster while he continuously sucked on it. His three fingers now entirely coated in your warmth as he felt you clenching around them. His pants feeling tighter from his hard on while he knelt at the end of your bed trying to bring you to where he wanted.
His free hand splayed against your stomach, holding you in place while he felt you trying to squirm around from the way he was making you feel. Rubbing your clit in between his breaths, Tom looked up at you as he licked a solid stripe down your center, “Let out how you’re feeling from today and cum for me, Y/N,” Tom commanded. 
Your eyes shut as you did exactly what Tom had suggested. Completely coming undone from beneath him while you released as much of the tension from earlier as you possibly could but in the most amazing way. Your eyes rolled back into your head while your back arched as Tom’s tongue continued to work you up while you were at your highest point.
Letting out a breathy laugh as you started to come down from it, feeling Tom begin to kiss his way back up your stomach with a smug look, “Don’t give me that look,” you rolled your eyes at his cockiness as his tongue traced along your neck, “I could do what you just did to myself, you know,” you tried to knock him off his high horse a bit while he pretended to be wounded from your words.
“Ah, but you didn’t. Did you?” Tom reminded you as his lips found yours. His hands still in between your thighs as he brought them between you both, showing you his coated fingers while he tasted you off of them, “Tastes like I made you cum because you wanted me to,” his smugness only elevated as he pushed himself off of you as he laid on his back on your bed.
“Need I remind you that you came to my place like a porno with a pizza looking to get laid,” you retaliated as you shifted so you were now hovering over him. Your hands guiding towards his belt buckle to get him out of his restraintive pants. The pleading look on his face made you just as smug, “Sounds like you want me to do just about the same thing, am I right or am I right?” you sang in his ear.
Tom helped you get the rest of his pants and boxers off, feeling himself spring out as he stared back at you with uncertainty, “Did you...just call me a porn star?” he questioned as the two of you let out a laugh.
“You wish, Tommy,” you teased as you ran your tongue down his abs, placing small and open kisses against his stomach as you made your way down to his legs while your hand carefully gripped his hardened length, your thumb running the pre-cum around his tip while you already heard him gasping for you.
Gripping your bedsheets with one hand, Tom reached around to create a makeshift ponytail to hold your hair. Cussing under his breath as he watched your mouth wrap around his tip, swirling your tongue around it while your eyes searched for his. He was really trying to hold it together but you were already driving him crazy.
“Let’s see what you got, Y/N,” Tom challenged you with a heavy breath as he tightened his grip around your hair, “Sometimes, girls think they know exactly what to do but-OH FUCK!” 
His words were lost as soon as your mouth went straight down to his base. Suctioning as hard as you could before coming back up his cock painfully slow. Moaning your name as his chest began to heave, Tom felt his thighs start to quiver from under you. Even just watching the way you were working on him was enough to make him whimper right now.
“Fuck...okay, yeah I take that back,” Tom gasped as his nose crinkled up while his other hand white knuckled the sheets, “God, your mouth is fucking perfect. Why haven’t we done any of this shit before?” he was in such a fucked out haze, he wasn’t even sure if anything he was saying made any sense at all. But he felt his stress from earlier going away finally. Even if this was just a short state of bliss, he was grateful for it anyway.
“You really want me to answer that or would you just prefer me to keep sucking your dick?” you sassed while you kitten licked his tip. You watched from the end of the bed as Tom bucked his hips into your mouth to try and get more contact from your lips but you pulled away from him and just kept licking his tip.
God, you were good, Tom thought to himself.
‘K-keep going,” Tom finally breathed out, flinging his head against the pillow to brace for the impact.
Hollowing your cheeks, you pushed yourself all the way down his cock. Your tongue flicking the base in between as you began to feel him throb inside of your mouth. You could tell he was close so you moaned softly into his cock, watching as Tom shuddered from the sensation you just sent through him.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Tom cried out, moaning your name as he rutted his hips into your mouth. His pupils blacked as he felt the heat rising in his body, “Shit...I’m gonna cum, Y/N,” he warned as you pulled away, running your hand down his shaft as he began to come undone for you.
His warmth spilled out into your hand and down his cock while he let go finally. The stress somewhat leaving his body as it did yours while the euphoric high peaked for him. Your lips crashed against his while his tongue parted your lips to find yours, tangling them together as he moaned against your mouth while riding out his high finally.
You waited for Tom to catch his breath before you smiled against his lips, placing a small peck against them as you pulled away with an even bigger grin, “Yeah, you’re welcome,” you gave him the same arrogant tone he gave to you moments earlier before you pecked his lips again.
After taking some time to get yourselves together mixed with the continuous fooling around underneath the sheets, you and Tom finally decided to get up and end the night. Even though he didn’t want to leave, he knew he probably shouldn’t overstay. Primarily, Tom was adamant about never spending the night at a girl’s place that he slept with. That made things complicated and he didn’t want complicated. But since you and him had rules to not make things messy, he wasn’t sure if that applied to you. For now, he wanted to play it safe so he got himself dressed again.
You pulled on an oversized t-shirt, realizing both of your hair looked a mess. Luckily you were already home and Tom was down the hall so it didn’t really matter. You wanted to say something to Tom, that you were thankful he came by tonight. You were thankful even before sex was on the table. It felt nice to have him as an ally to swing by with a pizza when he didn’t even know you needed that.
“...is it weird to say I’m glad you came by?” you gestured towards your bedroom while you walked with him out into the kitchen where the half eaten pizza was left, “I know we haven’t really made too many rules about it but…” you trailed off with a nervous laugh as you smiled at him awkwardly.
“Like we said, zero weirdness,” Tom reminded you as he padded his way over to you. He grabbed a leftover crust from the box and shoved it in his mouth, clearly starving already from the workout you had just given him. He smiled while he chewed lazily, his mouth still filled with pizza crumbs, “But I’m happy to come by when we have shit days...and make you cum as well,” he smirked deviously. 
The door opened as you smiled back, “Doesn’t have to be just bad days, you know. We could...screw whenever we feel like it,” you told him, hoping that it wasn’t too much.
“Did you just say screw?” he whipped his head towards you with a loud laugh.
“Alright then, I guess I’ll just leave you to the girls who leave you unsatisfied then,” you fought back.
Tom leaned against the door with his mouth gaped open, “They do not...leave me...unsatisfied?” he questioned himself, knowing that that was true, whether he wanted to admit it or not.
“Then why are you here?” you placed a hand on your hip, feeling the smile pulling at your lips while you messed around with him. You certainly weren’t in this mood earlier before Tom came around.
Pressing his lips together, Tom rolled his eye at you, “Fine...we can screw...whenever,” he leaned in closer to you with his eyes big as he mimicked your voice when you said it, “As long as we keep this thing strictly what we intended, you can use me whenever you need, Y/N,” and he meant it.
You didn’t back away when he sealed his words with a soft kiss, paired with his trademark grin. Tom pulled away slowly, taking in the moment as he wished you a goodnight quietly before kissing you against the cheek, “Like I said, best friend I ever had,” he said softly once again.
“Am I interrupting something?” A voice broke from behind the two of you. Both of your eyes widened towards each other as you both simultaneously pivoted your heads towards the staircase where the voice was coming from.
Tom closed his eyes with a groan, pinching the bridge of his nose as he tried to ignore Harrison staring at the two of you with a crooked grin. Making it known to Tom that explaining this was going to be a lot tougher than he had imagined.
