#relationship 101 right there honestly

Ok but I wanna talk about Portia in that trailer and the absolute pride in her voice when she's taking to Penelope.
I personally love Portia's character and how she's been a foil to Violet in that she's a loving mother, but she's also a realist about the society they live in. She's a tough love, no nonsense type of mother. She's making sure everyone survives as a top priority, if she has to be mean to get them there than so be it.
She's been at odds with Penelope the last two seasons mainly because of their different views. Portia is a realist, while Penelope still has dreams like most 17-18 year olds. Portia, in her own way, has been trying to bring Penelope back to reality.
An example of this to me is the scene where Portia finds out Penelope has been writing to Colin. The first thing she says "I declare Penelope," in a softer tone and when Penelope declares Colin her friend that tone becomes more strict. She tells Penelope, "Colin Bridgerton is no more your friend than I am the next Catherine the Great." Is it mean? Yup. But looking at it through Portia's eyes there's some truth to it. Their society doesn't allow friendships between single men and women. Colin and Penelope writing to one another without being engaged or even a proper courtship was actually very inappropriate. Portia probably does understand that there really isn't anything inappropriate in those letters and they are actually friends but she also knows no one else would see it that way. If she wanted she would have been well within her rights to go to Anthony about it and raise a fuss. She needs Penelope to see this too.
Now come season 3 in Portia's pov Penelope is finally taking the marriage mart seriously. She's got herself a suitor who is a titled lord, and Portia is proud of her. No more silly little fantasies of love. Meanwhile Penelope is probably weirded out with some other mixed feelings by this because this isn't what she is used to from her mother.
Makes me excited to see where their relationship goes. Because honestly, Penelope probably inherited the most from her mother, but she's in denial about it. It mostly comes out in Lady Whistledown, but that sharp wit and scheming mind is Portia. Penelope will actually fall into Portia's line of thinking when she's backed into a corner. When she saved both Colin and Eloise, she knew they would be hurt, and she's sorry about that, but she also knows they'll be safe. That is Portia's school of thought 101.
I've also been wanting to see how they approach the big heart to heart between the two of them. I want them to get into a screaming match that breaks down into them sincerely talking to one another. Penelope's confidence is supposed to get a boost this season, and we know she's not afraid to subtley barb at her mother. I hope they have Penelope confront Portia at some point, forcing everything out in the open.

bowser’s bookshelf from THIS tweet
from left to right:
shelf 1:
dealing with rejection
world domination 101
the pokey pop-up book
shelf 2:
raising destructive children
dungeoneering for dum dums
the art of balloon battle
party games for friends (and enemies)
moo moo farmer's almanac
shelf 3:
sibling rivalries and how to exploit them
exploring thwomp ruins
bowser on bowser, an autobiography
my thoughts on bowser’s bookshelves under the read more
honestly i'm loving his book collection
dealing with rejection is def cuz of peach, maybe a head start on his tentative relationship with luigi if he tries it out
the pokey pop-up book could have been his as a kid, maybe kamek read it to him and bowser read it to his kids
raising destructive children + sibling rivalries and how to exploit them are for his kids, originally thought he had siblings or something at first
dungeoneering for dum dums made me think about the DND ideas ppl were talking about in the discord, basically like the sports events but with everyone playing dungeons and dragons together and taking turns being the dungeon master
same with the party games for friends (and enemies) + exploring thwomp ruins, just bowser trying to play in a group
the art of balloon battle rlly gives me bowuigi vibes tho, possibly him trying to get into luigi’s balloon hobby?
luigi's dlc for odyssey was balloons (never played thru odyssey but i've seen stuff) and i’ve drawn a pic of him using them to kiss a huge bowser
the moo moo farmer's almanac is a lil confusing but it'd be cool if he was trying to do farming/ figure out a way to get a variety of crops for his citizens
maybe buy a farm in another kingdom and have his subjects do stuff there while paying tax idk
bowser's autobiography makes me laugh tho,like u got this huge dude who's majority method of doing things is destruction and i'm imagining him typing on a too small keyboard/ laptop/ typewriter while wearing glasses “King Bowser Senior’s Autobiography, Chapter 1″

got any polyam book recs
How many time do I need to reccomend the Smart Girl's Guide To Polyamory by Dedecker Winston! I feel like I never shut up about it and still people have never heard of it! I am just going to create a quick list of all the polyam books I have read. Because when I was first learning about polyamory it felt like you were required to read certain books before you could get your polyamory license yet so many other people haven't read any books! One day I might write out longer reviews for these.
The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy- This is one of the first ever books focused on polyamory. As such it is a bit dated. Despite that I think it is still a good book that people can get a lot out of. Just keep its age in mind.
More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert - When I started learning about polyamory this was the holy bible of polyamory that everyone insisted that everybody must read. I honestly liked The Ethical Slut better though. Since then though the book has been utterly condemned by the community and people are now very quick to scream how nobody should read this book because Franklin Veaux was revealed to be abusive in his relationships so now suddenly the book is a guide to teach people how to be abusive in relationships. I guess??? Eve Ricket has put out multiple statements about the book about if people should still read it or not but I am sure I will miss something if I dive into that. Like more The Ethical Slut, just keep in mind it might have some problematic aspects. But I personally think there is still some good stuff in it that people might find value in. It has been a while since I read it but I don't remember it being problematic, just a bit dry and boring.
The Smart Girl's Guide To Polyamory by Dedecker Winston - I'm skipping right to this to say this is my favorite polyamory book! It is very unfortunate that that the title isn't great. And indeed it is written to be aimed at women but honestly I found very very little in the book to feel exclusive to women and not apply to me (a cis-male) just as much. I love this book so much that I re-typed up a passage from it, had it printed on a large poster, and framed.
Sex At Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha - This is another book that used to be worshipped in polyamory circles and wholehearted reccomended. I am so glad that it is now mostly forgotten. Why? BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A POLYAMORY BOOK! This is a very scientific anti-monogamy book. So I was waiting for all this set-up to talk about why polyamory fixes all these problems of monogamy it has taken so long to explain. Spoilers! Polyamory is only briefly mentioned in the epilogue of the book in a half-hearted, "Maybe this solution works for some people". Let's be clear, this is not a bad book. It is a very good book at using scientific evidence to point out flaws with monogamy and can lead to interesting discussion. But it is not a polyamroy book and shouldn't be recommended as such.
Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities by Kevin Patterson - Another great book that is highly underrated. But note this is not a Polyamory 101 book. I consider this a "next-level" polyamory book. And to be clear I am white/Caucasian and I learned so much from this book and really love it! It opened my eyes in so many ways.
The Polyamorists Next Door: Inside Multiple-Partner Relationships and Families by Elisabeth Sheff - This isn't a bad book but I also didn't really find it to be a good book either. It feels neither pro-polyamory or anti-polyamory. Just a whole lot of stories and facts. I think it might be most interesting for a monogamous person to read.
Polyamory by Marissa Blake - Worst book I have ever listened to and I am pretty sure it is plagiarized. Been meaning to do a project where I research that claim but just haven't been interested in doing so. it is utter garbage.
The Polyamory Breakup Book: Causes, Prevention, and Survival by Kathy Labriola - Another advanced level polyamory book. But I think an especially important one for everyone to read. When you date more people you have more breakups. And when "cheating" is far less of an issue it is becomes hard to understand when you should breakup.
Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Nonmonogamy by Jessica Fern - The new holy bible of polyamory that everybody in every polyamory group will recommend immediately. It is a good book but honestly I think it is overrated. I think it is aimed at a very certain kind of person struggling with polyamory but it didn't resonate a whole lot with me on a polyamory level. I thought Secure Attachment was very interesting but I felt the actual polyamory aspects of the book were a little lacking to me. I do recommend the book but maybe not as someone's first polyamroy book. I think there are better polyamory 101 books. To note I have not read Polywise yet, the authors sequel book that just came out. I think I have higher hopes for that one though.
Ready For Polyamory by Laura Boyle - Most recent book I read and I had wanted to write a full review but I forgot. This is a fairly good book. I feel like it doesn't stand out much from the other Polyamory 101 books but overall solid. The one place where I give it the most praise is it has the most up-to-date definitions of terms which over the years have evolved and changed over time. The spectrum of polyamory styles I think is especially important for people to read. Older books didn't mention this at all or it was only Parelle VS Kitchen Table. Now we have a much wider spectrum and I often see a common mistake for newbies is for 2 partners to be at different point of the spectrum and never acknowledging it.
Do you know of any polyamory books I missed that I should read? Please let me know!

~Lucifer blanches. He looks around, as if trying to find a sense of Alastor’s words somewhere in the trash-heap he calls a room, before rounding back to him, lips pulling up in disgust. “Are you asking me out?”
“Ahaha!” Alastor laughs, slapping him so hard on the back it nearly takes Lucifer off his feet. “Oh, Heavens no. I’m just proposing we let Hell continue thinking that you and I are,” he waves his hand, searching for the word, “in cahoots. In that way.”~
This is golden comedy right here. Honestly every time I read ur fic I always start wheezing so hard I can’t breathe, u are an amazing writer, hope u know that. When I saw ur last update on the ‘damage control’ chapter i was so excited i devoured it so fast help
Alastor saying he wants to be in ‘cahoots’ with Lucifer it’s so funny to me cause no one use that term anymore, and Lucifer is just downright dumbfounded that they are even having the conversation. I can imagine the shadow rolling his eyes at them, we need more sassy shadow moments, he is so underrated. 😭😭
I love that Lucifer is trying to respect Al boundaries, especially after the ‘incident’ , and doesn’t pry to much on his scars, but now I am curious about what did Al meant. Does he not remember who did that to him? 🥺
Also I am curious about what they gonna tell to the others about their new found relationship. I don’t think Lucifer would want to lie to Charlie, but I also think that it would be too risky to make the whole crew knew they are acting, someone might slip. And it’s not like Al is gonna make it easy for Lucy anyway. If they want to be credible, less ppl knowing it’s best course of action for me.
Last thing~ I really wanted to thank you, cause ur fic really brings me a lot of joy since I recently only been able to find happiness in small things like these , and I I can’t wait to read more🌈
Tumblr media
Hehehe, Alastor purposefully refusing to go into depth about their "sexual relationship," and even side-stepping outright calling it a relationship, is what's going to make it all more entertaining when he actually has to commit to the bit. Cuz you see, they're not fucking. They're "in cahoots."
It's different.
(I love Alastor's Shadow being sassy. If it's attached to Alastor, it has to be. I take no critiques.)
😈 Alastor and his scars is something I'm very excited to get into it. I've been thinking about them for a while, and while it may take a bit to actually get the answer, I'm very eager to get there when we do.
The way I see it, Alastor doesn't want to tell the others (as they already know their not actually dating--as he made VERY clear last time), but Lucifer isn't going to be okay with lying to Charlie. Out of the group, Alastor knows he can trust Husk and Niffty to keep it a secret. Maybe Angel Dust too. But he's most worried about Charlie and Vaggie.
Vaggie isn't a good liar, and Charlie's such an open, bright, heart-on-her-sleeves person, he doesn't trust her to keep up the ruse without letting something slip--most likely by accident.
But Lucifer is stubborn. He doesn't want to lie to Charlie, and if he tells Charlie, Charlie is going to tell Vaggie. If Vaggie knows, well, we already know she has a hard time lying on the spot, so if the others see Alastor and Lucifer suddenly "in cahoots," and ask about it, she's not going to be able to come up with a plausible excuse on the fly.
This is all to say, the next installment is going to be full of silly Hazbin Crew hijinks, where Alastor is forcefully enrolled into Chaggies Dating 101 Crash Course, and he is definitely not setting the grading curve. (And maybe we'll even get a bit of HuskerDust thrown in there, who knows. Certainly not me).
And it warms me so much to know that my fic can bring you joy in a time that such things are scarce 🥺 I can't wait to share more of the story with you!

Heyy!!Um if you don’t mind can you write for mbav?(benny weir x fem reader) Something along the lines of evil benny creating reader’s evil copy and she starts flirting hard with the real Benny and when Sarah and the real reader destroys the evil copies Benny gets sad and misses the evil copy :>
Two is better than one.
Benny weir x fem!reader
“What were you thinking?”
Tumblr media
Warnings: cursing, seductive behaviour, degradation.
— Summary; what anon said 🫶🏻
— A/N; I LIKE IT PICASSO this came to me when cleaning and I literally stopped everything to write it. I got so many evil copy requests I’m down them ALL.
Tumblr media
Benny and you didn’t particularly have a clear relationship at times.
There were certain things he said or done that always had you second guessing,
maybe it was the way he looked into your eyes a second longer than usual when he smiled that signature grin of his or maybe it was the way he teased you until he was sure he made the tips of your ears red but one thing was clear,
It was the things he would do a second later that would make you uncertain It was obvious Benny weir flirts with any girl that walks his way and honestly you were thankfully that the girl were daft enough to pay more attention at the fuck boys than Benny otherwise you were sure he’d be snatch up by now.
“Ethan you’re delusional if you think Benny weir has any sort of romantical feelings for me at all.” You explained your frustrating case of what always clouded your mind.
“Why are you so sure of yourself? Why is it so hard to accept what I’m saying is true y/nn? You’re telling me you don’t see the way he looks at you?” Ethan protested but not as strongly as he had before, poor Ethan has this whole conversation rehearsed with not only you unfortunately.
Benny had to force a giggle out of himself to cover for the untrue words Ethan had mistakenly spoken “dude, no need to lie to me. I like the girl and all but I think by now I can tell when a girl doesn’t like me as hard as that is to believe.” Benny replied sarcastically to a eye rolling Ethan, his favourite expression in both Y/N and Benny’s opinion.
Christ you guys even argue the same.
“Let me entertain the possibility that you are right for a minute,” Ethan merely nodded mind elsewhere. “If I get as far as asking him out and not get rejected by whatever godsend was on my side that day that Benny didn’t run away scared of my ‘proposal’ “ you qoutated for your special day of the weeks rant affect “who’s to say he still wouldn’t make comments about every other woman he saw that day? We just wouldn’t work as much as I wanted to.”
“Denial is a river in Egypt.” Ethan chimed matter of factly with a cheeky smile he knew pissed you off “your just trying to convince yourself because you know none of that mumbo jumbo isn’t going anywhere with me.”
“E, you wanna know how I can see that she doesn’t like me?” Benny tugged on his backpack straps with a thin pressed lip “not really.” Ethan muttered unbothered “great, well for one I flirted with a girl right in front of her today to get any reaction out of her anything! And she didn’t care! That’s like movie 101 the chick totally storms off in jealousy yet she didn’t budge.” He finished
How was it that Ethan was the only expert in spotting the hurt in the teens faces ? Or the broken laugh he oh so quoted All you guys needed was to stop being so stubborn and a little confidence couldn’t hurt.
-
It was after school and you were walking home with your headphones on, playing whatever song your iPod had to offer on shuffle then you spotted something, oh cool benny grandma Evelynn is having a yard sale.
“Hey Benny what’s up?” You waved as you saw his grandmother leave the stall seemingly leaving Benny to sell the remaining products,
“grandma is selling all the junk in her house she no longer uses and she said if I help I get extra cash so currently being an entrepreneur.” He grinned leaning on the table with his collared striped sweater sleeves pulled up revealing his forearms, that mixed with his smile had you saying ‘shut up and take my money!’
“I don’t think that’s how that works but sure I’m always up to support a business.” You furrowed your brows but nonetheless went along with his playful manner “I’ll take that vintage camera.” Maybe it’ll help with you and your friends picture day project.
“Fine choice m’lady.” You giggled in response and took the camera “I’ll see you later benns’ “ and with that you left.
-
It was the next day at school and if you had known Benny and Ethan had their own school picture day idea maybe you wouldn’t have volunteered to help your friend.
But having said that it didn’t stop you from sticking your tongue out at Benny like a child cheekily as he slumped in defeat
“defeated with my own tools.” He muttered as you laughed sympathetically in response patting his shoulder “sorry Benny rabbit, maybe next year?” You teased further more making sure to use the name you knew he hated cause you just loved to be the person to grind his gears.
Unfortunately you missed what he whispered to Ethan “It’s cute when she says it..” ethan looked puzzled at the boy.
You agreed after class to futhermore help your friend by testing out your retro cam, having successfully found a dark room you firstly tested it with a simple selfie really 2010 pose of you, Y/n.
And then you set it aside to develop, continuing with your classes.
Later on you went to check on it and would you look at that! Perfect 80s selfie, you just Missed the laboured breaths behind you as you were knocked unconscious.
-
Benny tapped his pencil on his desk as he watched the clock on the wall, you should definitely be at this class he remembered on your timetable you had the same classes as him! So then where were you? 10 minutes went by and mid way through class Y/N finally showed up,And boy did she make an entrance.
Are you allowed to wear shorts that short? Or leather jackets that cool?
You slumped in your chair looking directly at the teacher, eye contact and all. “Care to explain what was more interesting than class that made you 20 minutes late Miss Y/N L/N?” The teacher rightfully asked through a stern voice.
“literally anything..?” Y/N replied as if it was a joke and not they were real consequences.
The Teacher was taken aback “Y/N this is nothing like you whatever has gotten into you I’m not dealing with this today.” She explained furthermore to a doodling Y/H/C.
“I didn’t want to deal with this math today and yet here we are.” Y/N shrugged “who in the right mind puts fucking letters in marginal equations?” The teacher scoffed “detention IMMEDIATELY.”
And with that Y/N stood up, smirking at Benny who’s mouth was agape “like what you see? Or is staring your new habit Dork?” She leaned on his desk table inching closer to him as she maintain intense eye contact “what did I just say?” The teacher raised her voice and with that Y/N practically strutted out.
Benny leaned into Ethan “I don’t know what Y/N has done with herself but I like it.” He spoke unbeknownst to Ethan’s bewildered expression, this has supernatural written all over it and yet again he was the only one to spot it.
Obviously Y/N wasn’t gonna listen to the teacher though, she had a better plan in mind. Why not finish what she started? So she dragged her friend to the room where she left the camera and made a copy of her, putting on her best sickly sweet voice imitating the other sweeter more rational Y/N she managed to fool her friend into becoming a copy just like her and whilst Y/N was having fun Terrorising other teens days her friend would make more evil duplicates.
Fun and innovative, woman in stem yk?
Mindlessly she walked through the halls she had about a few hours before school was over and then she could go to go carts she rented for the day.
That’s when she spotted him. Benny weir. she just needed to figure out why the other Y/N was so intrigued by him so she made her way over to him “well if it isn’t just the guy I was looking for, can I talk to you? “ benny looked around puzzled and then nodded, Y/N turned to look at Ethan “alone. take a hint third wheel.” She did a fake smile for a millisecond benny raised a brow
Third wheel? In what?
“What is it that makes you so important?” She began in a low tone as she eyed him head to toe slowly “my charm, i get A’s in calculus I do a killer Tom cruise from top gun impression” no one in the world could not cringe at the words Benny utters.
Well unless you got a tolerance like the other Y/N does, which was what evil Y/N was so aggravated to figure out.
“Not the things you say Idiot, the things you do.” She took a step closer to him “ I’m not sure I’m following now y/nn? This about my yearbook photo idea?” He guessed utterly lost, poor guy.
“This is about how every thing you say or do drives other me crazy, you’ve such nerdy arms and yet she fawns over your slender hands.” Evil Y/N sure knew how to cut and praise you in the same sentence that was for sure.
Benny didn’t respond he just looked down to said hands in question and then back at Y/N he was finding it hard to maintain eye contact under this pressure “I bet you haven’t even been with a girl, how pathetic.” She chuckled yet her eyes showed interest and she inches nearer again.
Benny gulped “Y/n what are you talking about…?” Benny managed to speak as he trailed off as if he spoke any louder than he did he was afraid you would stop.
“Maybe if I teach you a few things you might actually have the balls to get with me.” Why she was speaking about herself in the third person was beyond Benny but what wasn’t beyond him is whatever degrading kink evil you just summoned in him.
He grinned “if this is you getting back at me for teasing you so much I admit im not sorry.” You pressed your hands flat against his chest “that’s exactly what it is.” sexual frustration totally didn’t play a part at all.
So you tangled your hands in his brunette locks and peckered his neck then his lips
‘Whatthefuckishappeningohmygodsheskissingmethisissohot’
And then she stopped with a tug of his hair releasing a low whine from Benny as he opened his Green eyes “If you actually want to take me up on my offer find me in the dark room, I’m only having fun. Think you can do that pretty boy? Hm?” Benny nodded cheerfully She smirked and spon around on her heels and walked away.
Did Y/N just walk straight out of his wet dream or something?! Like I know yesterday Y/N was pretty Damn sexy in her flarely skirt that Benny was so sure she put on intentional to screw with his head but this was definitely a dream he had only a week ago.
-
Somwhere along the line you woke up, not evil you but actual you and you spotted your friend tied up,
“what happened?! Are you alright?” You asked frantically concerned as you untied her “there’s a evil copy of me and you going around terriorising people! I don’t know what’s going on but I think she knocked you out too!” That would explain the raging headache that got worse by the minute.
‘I have to go tell Sarah and Erica’ you thought.
-
Frantic to find Sarah you scanned the halls as you tucked a strand of Y/H/C behind your ears and was certainly not looking where you were going and it became more certain when you bumped into a unknown force.
Benny flushed being met with you, except you lost the shorts and the leather jacket, but hey you did sport his favourite skirt on you “I knew it was intentional!” He muttered under his breath thinking aloud
“benns’ are you okay? You look a little red and your shirt is all scrunched up..” you expressed with much concern for the boy “I’m fine, y/n. And if I’m not I’m still taking you up on your offer later and you can make me fine.” He grabbed your hand to politely shoo it away from his striped shirt as he winked
“offer? What offer? Benny I need your help finding Sarah.” Benny tilted his head in confusion That word be the third time today you drive him around the bend in mind whipping mood Change,
you are a force of nature woman.
He was gonna flirt but he saw your expression and put his feelings aside for a moment “what’s wrong bunny?” His brows furrowed “there’s these evil copies of me and (I forgot her name I’m so sorry) walking around and they’re planning on making way more! We need to stop them or who knows what they’ll do.” You pleaded with urgency.
“That chick Ethan’s into? Wait you have a copy?” You nodded, deciding against telling Benny that she had a boyfriend right now as it wasn’t the top priority going on right now.
Benny slumped, of course it wasn’t you.
“Benny? Hello? Come on!” You grabbed his hand and went to find Sarah and Ethan, unknowing to how extra sweaty his hands were today as you interlaced your fingers together.
-
“What in the Jennifer’s body is this bullshit? You’re meant to be evil Me?” You scoffed eyeing her “it’s not like I give a fuck what you think honestly cause you’ll be dead in a minute.”
“Honey you’re just another bad selfie gone wrong.”
A few minutes of bickering and fighting go by and you finally manage to tear the developed photo apart.
Sarah stormed into the bathroom after dealing with the other copy “are you okay?!” You nodded offering a Sympathetic smile “totally should’ve took that jacket before she vanished.” Sarah rolled her eyes reminding you of how she does it just like Ethan does and you both smiled.
“Let’s get you up.” She helped you from your position on the floor as you regained your breath and stood up.
-
Now with school done you rejoined your favourite best friends as Rory, Sarah, Erica and Ethan walked ahead. Benny still looked distant and you couldn’t help but notice it.
“Hey Benny you’ve been quiet all day, are you alright? I hope evil me didn’t say anything mean to you, If she hurt you that wasn’t me I’d never do any like that.”
Benny for the first time after today looked you in the eyes again with a hitched breath I don’t think he’ll ever forget your hands on him, or your pillowy soft lips for that matter.
“She didn’t it’s just she said some things…” you looked at him as he looked down “what did she say?” Her words played in his mind but he couldn’t bring himself to repeat them so he shook it off “nevermind it doesn’t matter, it’s stupid I’m all good.” He forced a smile but you saw through it “hey.. you know evil Y/N rented go carts?” You tried cheer him up and knowing Benny it worked and automatically he was back to his old self “only room for 2!” And with that you two scurried to front in giggles
Maybe things could be different now?

The Weird Sisters x Fem!Reader: Beneath a Hungry Moon
Summary: The Weird Sisters + 101 -- "This feels dirty." "That's because it is."
Prompts found here!
A/N: This fic made me realize how much I miss CAOS. Might have to rewatch at some point soon!
Full Ficmas List
Tag List: @escapetodreamworld @ghostsunderstoodmysoul @multifandomfix
Warning(s): Unconventional Relationships
Tumblr media
For as long as you could remember, you dreamt of participating in the Lupercalia celebrations. The idea of running beneath the moon with someone and losing yourself in the pleasure that followed sent a shiver down your spine—or did, before you found three witches you couldn’t tear yourself away from, and realized the matching would tie you to a man for the night. 
You look down on the preparations with thinly veiled upset. Father Blackwood had forced your hand, all of your hands; you would participate in the Lupercalia celebrations or face strict punishment. His eyes had settled on Prudence when he let those words spill from his lips and you gave in to assuage the fear rolling from her. 
Forcing you to participate didn’t mean you would follow the rules, though. 
It’s a perfect plan. You’ll play along, circling the young warlocks until you inevitably have to choose one, but that will be as far as it goes. The night would be yours to experience with your three favorite witches with the tricks up your sleeve in play. 
Hands wrap around your waist and you lean back. A soft pair of lips kiss your neck. 
“What are you thinking?” Dorcas asks curiously. 
“Nothing,” You pat the hands around your waist, all too aware of listening ears, “Just taking in the scene.” 
“Are you still upset that we can't celebrate together?” 
You want to spill your whole plan because Dorcas sounds so sweet, worrying for you even though you know she’ll enjoy tonight no matter what. She has her eyes on a few of the more devious warlocks. Nick Scratch, if you’re being specific, though Sabrina Spellman will fight her every step of the way. 
Turning in her arms, you kiss her sweetly. She deserves nothing less for how considerate she’s being of you—how considerate she always is. 
“I’m not thrilled about it,” You say honestly, “but I want you to have fun.” 
“I don’t think I’ll participate—past the Matching, I mean.” 
You raise a brow, “Dorcas, you love warlocks.” 
“It will upset you.” 
“Sweetheart, I’ll be okay. Your heart will still be mine at the end of the night, won’t it?” You ask. 
Dorcas nods so hard you fear for her neck. As if to send the point home, she kisses you, pulling away to press similar kisses on any swath of skin she can see. It makes you laugh, holding tight to her. 
Her smile is relaxed and sweet and you know you’ve said the right thing. You haven’t lied—you don’t mind who any of your witches physically engage with, as long as their heart remains with you—but you don’t really intend on Dorcas enjoying whatever warlock she ends up with. It’ll just throw a wrench in your plans if she isn’t in the woods on Lupercalia. 
“You’re so good to me.” Dorcas sighs dreamily. 
You hum, “Don’t let anyone else know that. It’ll be our little secret.” 
She giggles and steals another kiss, before rushing from your arms and back to her room in a whirlwind. You should be preparing too, but you’re more worried about getting everything in place than dolling yourself up.
A flash of color in the corner of your eye makes you turn. Leaning against the bannister, watching you with an inquisitive stare, is Sabrina Spellman. You’re really not in the mood for her dramatics but plaster on a pleasant enough look anyway. 
“How are you okay with it?” Sabrina asks. 
“Okay with what?” You ask, tilting your head. 
Sabrina moves closer and stands at your side, the two of you looking down on the set-up with matching expressions of distaste. One of you does a better job masking it than the other. 
“Dorcas spending the night with someone else.” 
Ah, you think. You shrug and try to see it through Sabrina’s eyes; it must be odd to go from the image of married perfection to a world where monogamy is an old idea. You can understand the institution of marriage, as your parents were married, but they both engaged in their fair share of witches and warlocks. Being a witch is sin and that’s never been something you saw as an issue. 
Looking at Sabrina, you try to take her in, wishing you could read her thoughts. Does the sin and lust bother her? Her aunts raised her, but how much did they really show her of her magical community? Maybe Sabrina’s idealism towards humanity isn’t entirely her own fault. 
“It’s just sex,” You shrug, “It’s fun and pleasure, but it isn’t what we have.” 
“But Dorcas is yours. They all are, aren’t they? You’re not bothered by someone else having them?” Sabrina prods. 
You sigh, “I don’t own anyone, Spellman, that’s the point. We share things. Bodies aren’t sacred things to be hidden away for witches and warlocks, their vessels of lust and greed and pleasure. Why would I ask my girls to deny the very thing we were all made for?” 
“You say witches and warlocks don’t consider bodies sacred, but my Father did.” 
“Your Father was an anomaly. He had a few points about getting along with mortals, sure. But his views were… are odd for our society.” 
Sabrina is the one examining you now. She looks at you like she’s missing something and the answer is in your face. When you give nothing away, she sighs and puts her head in her hand. 
Teen angst radiates off of her. Whether it’s a Sabrina thing or humanity thing, it’s annoying, and you put some distance between the two of you. You don’t completely walk away though. Something feels unsaid and you’re in no rush, so you follow her line of sight to none other than Nick Scratch. 
You bite back a laugh. 
Nick Scratch is an entertaining guy, sure, but you’ve never understood why all the witches fawn over him. You remember a whole host of stories Prudence used to tell you about him when they were going out and he seemed like any other warlock. But Sabrina has latched herself onto him and you feel a kind of empathy for her. 
It’s hard when you love someone more than they love you. You remember the feeling before you found your witches. Nobody deserves to feel it, not even Sabrina Spellman, magnet for chaos. 
“You were upset when the rules of the Matching were explained to you and now you’re not. Why?” Sabrina says. 
“I was upset I couldn’t spend the evening with my witches,” You shrug, “But my enjoyment and theirs doesn’t depend on if we’re together. I just wish we were.” 
“Witches are weird.” Sabrina decides. 
You laugh and pull back from the bannister, patting her on the shoulder, “Okay, half-witch.” 
Sabrina rolls her eyes so hard you can practically feel it, but you continue past her and down the stairs back to your room. Dorcas is nowhere to be found and neither is Prudence, though her things are laid on her bed. Agatha sits at the mirror painting her lips a shade close to black. 
You walk over and lay down on her bed, watching her work. Agatha tilts her head when she looks at you. 
“You’re not getting ready.” She says. 
“I will,” You shrug, “I’m not in any rush.” 
“Are you still upset?” 
“No, just… disappointed. Warlocks aren’t really my thing, so it cuts the enjoyment.” 
Agatha sets down her lipstick and comes to sit next to you. She runs a hand through your hair, looking down with a smile, curious. You try to sit up and kiss her. A hand in the center of your chest stops you, her small smile now a wide grin. 
You pout and lay back down, folding your arms over your chest. 
“Don’t pout, I just applied this lipstick.” 
“You can reapply it.” 
She pauses as if thinking it over and weighing the time she has. A small spark of hope sits in your chest and you turn, propping your head up on your hands. Agatha looks gorgeous in white. It’s rare to see the gloomy coven in bright color and you can’t say you mind the change; black is good for any occasion, but white makes them look good enough you forget the occasion. 
You’re most excited to catch a glimpse of Prudence. As long as you can remember, she’s wrapped herself in deep blacks and purples, even an occasional red. The only thing you recall being brighter is the cream-colored slip she wears to bed sometimes. 
A pair of lips is pressed to your own and you startle before Agatha’s hands on your face soothe you. She takes her time and thoroughly explores your mouth with her own. It’s like being drunk and you feel like you could sway despite sitting down, clasping her arms to remain upright. 
It’s different to Dorcas’ quick kisses and Prudence’s teasing ones, Agatha kisses like she’s putting you in a trance. And you almost hate to admit that it works every time. 
When you pull back and stare up with glossed eyes, Agatha giggles, and wipes at your mouth. The dark color is spread all across her face and you can only imagine how it looks on you. 
“Are you happy now?” Agatha asks. 
“Extremely.” You smile. 
She shakes her head, but looks just as happy, “You really should start getting ready.” 
You open your mouth to offer an excuse. 
“She’s right.” Another voice interrupts. 
Prudence stands in the doorway, clad in a figure-hugging white dress. It’s longer than either Agatha’s or Dorcas’ with a split up the right side, exposing one of her legs. She looks practically ethereal. Something about the color brings out the glow in her cheeks and makes you swoon. 
She walks down the steps and makes her way to your side. When she looks at you, there’s something in her eyes you can’t decipher. But you forget it just as easily when she leans down and kisses you, slowly, but not long enough. She laughs when she pulls away and you try to follow. 
“You agreed to participate, darling. It’s time for you to get ready.” 
“Why? I won’t get much from Lupercalia.” You challenge. 
Prudence’s eyes are knowing and she smirks, “Oh darling, I don’t believe that at all.” 
Somehow, she knows. You can’t ask how with Agatha in the room, but she knows, and you know it. You nod and get off of Agatha’s bed to get your things from your chest. Kneeling at the end of the bed, the lock is warm in your hands, a sign your spell is holding tight. 
There’s an audible click! When you whisper the incantation under your breath and the lock opens. You sift through your valuables until you find the outfit you chose for the evening. It stands apart from that of your witches, but isn’t different enough that it’ll make you feel alienated. It’s a lovely silver garment that feels like silk in your fingers. 
Agatha and Prudence eye it with interest, eyes curious and lustful, but say nothing as they leave the room to let you get ready. 
Everything goes according to plan at the Matching; everyone is paired up, including yourself. You luck out with your friend Zander. He’s like a taller, wider Ambrose Spellman, with dark dreads he’s dyed white at the ends. Fortunately for you, he shares your lack of… interest. 
You’re careful to go through the motions and not arouse suspicion. The Courting is actually fun for the two of you. You paint one another with the blood and milk but lay under the moon talking. It’s nice, a relief to be near a warlock who isn’t driven by his lust for the festivities of Lupercalia. 
Then comes the Hunt. 
Your witches look stunning. It takes everything in you to even let them out of your rooms, but you give in, if only because your real plans involve being in the forest together. 
Ambrose blows the horn to signal the start and the chase is on. You do your best to keep your eyes on Dorcas and Agatha; you trust that Prudence will appear when the time is right, since she’s managed to catch onto your plans. 
You catch Agatha and her match first. The place they’ve chosen isn’t hidden well and before he can lay another kiss on her, you’ve stuck an eldritch root under his nose. His eyes roll back in his head and he loses consciousness. 
“Are you going to help me?” You ask Agatha, laying her match gently on the ground. 
She’s pouting, “I was having a good time.” 
“I had plans for the four of us… but I guess if you’d rather stay with him…” 
“No, I’m coming.” Agatha sighs. 
You kiss her sweetly, just long enough to assuage any lingering upset. 
“I’ll let you have some extra fun with him at Dorian’s tomorrow.” You promise
Her beautiful face splits into a giddy smile and you laugh. Grabbing her hand, you pull her with you through the crowds of still-running matches, ignoring the screaming of a few girls, though it threatens to grate on your nerves. 
There’s dozens of girls wrapped in red, but you can’t seem to find the one with red hair. Then you hear it. Somewhere ahead is Dorcas’ voice, declaring something in hushed tones. 
You don’t look to see who she’s hanging on before shoving the root beneath his nose too. He drops and you catch Dorcas before she can fall too. She fights your hands and turns, freezing when she sees you and Agatha. 
“I see what’s going on here,” Dorcas giggles, “This feels dirty.” 
“That’s because it is.” Prudence says. 
She’s appeared seemingly out of nowhere and leans against the tree behind you. Her smile is devious. You can’t help the excitement in your chest at everything falling into place. 
“Shall we, darling?” Prudence asks you, making Agatha and Dorcas turn to you as well. 
With a smile, you flee into the woods, laughing. You hear them laughing and calling behind you. It doesn’t take long before you’re captured and the four of you finally engage in the Lupercalia celebration, mad with desire, beneath a hungry moon.

6 & 101 please! Fluff with Harry - imagine these used in a bit of banter between them x
a/n: If you would like to put in a request the people I write for and the prompt list is here.
words: 855 words (sorry it's one of my shorter ones I was running dry for ideas.)
PROMPT 6 & 101: “This isn’t fair!” “I hope you’re happy.”
Tumblr media
⋆。°✩
2023
I had joined Harry on love on tour this year, with our 7 year old daughter in tow, we had decided that she would do virtual school as it was too much of a risk of her being recognised at school, when Harry or I would pick her up, having our relationship being in the public eye for 10 years now, plus it allowed us to be on tour with Harry, hating being away from him just like I went through when he was in One direction.
Now we were sitting on the hotel room bed, after coming back from our anniversary dinner, Mitch and Sarah taking Juliet for the night. currently reminiscing on our relationship of 10 years. We hadn't gotten married.
"Do you remember The night we made Juliet?" I asked
"vaguely, remind me again what happened"
⋆。°✩
31st October 2015 (a/n sorry 1d fans I know it's a soft spot 😔)
Harry and I had just gotten back from going out on a night out to celebrate the last ever show with Harry's bandmates, we celebrated out in sheffield and now we had gone to our flat, sheffield was my home town so it was a bittersweet moment for me, because sheffield was where Harry and I had met 2 years ago while he was doing his take me home tour and now everything was changing but not our relationship. No our relationship was as strong as ever and it had been some amazing past 2 years with him.
Now though, I was lounging about in out flat just watching out the big panel window of our flat, While Harry was somewhere around doing something. Harry and I had bought this flat before he left for the on the road again tour, and now we finally had time to spend in it together.
"What are you doing?" Harry asks while wrapping his arms around me while his front is pressed against my back, making me jump about 6 feet in the air. "geez H! way to scare a girl, why don't you go scare Petal while you're at it Harry" Petal was my cat from my old flat, from before I met Harry. She was a stray when I took her in finding her in a bunch of petals while walking home. I took her to the nearest to the vets but there was no record of previous owners and I couldn't just leave her there when she was just a baby so I gave her a good life and promised to give her all the love any animal deserves.
Looking down at the cat, who had now disappeared from where she was previously and not being anywhere where she was in plain sight taking it as a sign that she was scared. Harry and now moved to be facing me looking me right in the eye, "oh come on darling,this isnt fair you sneak up on me all the time, like this morning when we were at the venue you came up and hugged me making me jump 12 foot in the air." "that's different!" "Oh is it now?" he asks sarcastically "yes it is" I say before pulling him in for a kiss.
We stay kissing for a few moments before Harry pulls away. "Wow way to make a girl know that you don't like her Harry" I tease playfully. "Oh yeah, Y/n I have some news. After, being with you for 2 years and buying a flat with you. I don't like you." He teases back with the same amount I just gave him "I hope you're happy. Just for that, you can sleep on the sofa tonight." I say, acting serious before walking into the bedroom, knowing I'm only joking.
He follows me while talking "oh come on Y/n/n, you know I love you." he pauses then says "I" was only joking". I giggle before I say "so was I you fool, haha got you" he joins me on the bed tickling me. "you little menace, had my heart going for a second thought I'd really upset you. You are so crafty honestly." He says before kissing me again, going a bit deeper this time.
And that was that, this was where we would start our family.
⋆。°✩
2023
"ahh, Now I remember I loved that night, you looked gorgeous. Not that you don't now though"
"Harry, you have always been so scared of upsetting me I love you for it though"
"you know maybe for good measures we should try again, I don't feel as though we're complete yet."
"Is it really the best time though? What about me being too pregnant to fly? What about Juliet? "
"You won't be. I have a break coming up in july, I can easily not go on tour for another couple of years. As for Juliet, she's been telling me how she wants a brother or sister."
"Okay, Harry. You'll have to give me a few days so I can book in to get my IUD out, then we'll start."
And that was that before 3 became 4.
⋆。°✩
the end.

Hello sex witch! Long time listener, first time caller, love how you do the teaching you do 😄
I was having a chat with my (college age) sibling, and I found she might have some... skewed views on the morality of being sexual. Think along the lines of purity culture, with a sprinkling of religious teaching, and a dash of how legality/morality must be intertwined. I know that sort of thing can lead to some unhealthy thinking, and honestly, I'm a little worried!
This is just background for context, I'm not asking you to solve or even unpack all that lol. But I really vibe with your stance on sex-neutrality, and it seems like a good concept to introduce her too. Like, a lil'nudge.
My personal sex-neutality mindset was gained over years of life experience and internet osmosis, which is really difficult to condense into a "quick-start guide," given I've never really had to educate on it before. I mean, I'll start with the definition, but she would probably prefer having sources other than just me talking for hours lol.
So. TL;DR. As an educator, do you happen to have any resources you could point me towards on sex-neuteality? Books, websites, podcasts, previous posts..? Things I could pass along?
Thank you so much sorry for the length
hey anon,
this is a tricky one because, as you said, sex neutrality is something that comes about from a lifetime of nurturing influences. adopting a totally new mindset is rarely something that can be adopted by one book or video essay, no matter how good they are. this is especially true in the face of religious influence, which can be very difficult to tactfully circumvent without making someone feel as if they're being criticized for being religious at all.
just having a figure in their life (that's you!) who's willing to start and engage with non-judgmental discussions about sexuality can be really helpful for people unlearning sexual stigma, so congrats to you for doing the hardest work just by being present!
having said that, you can't do everything and a recommended media list never hurts. there isn't a lot of work (that I'm familiar with, at least) that just sit you right down and say "hey. here's why sex neutrality good," so I'm going to drop work where that's sort of a powerful background radiation.
Emily Nagoski's book Come As Your Are is a pretty great guide for cis women learning to get comfortable with their bodies and sexualities and, more importantly, the possibilities of communication to find a relationship and sexual style that works for them! I really like the way Nagoski normalizes such a wide range of different needs and desires while assuring readers that there's no "wrong" approach; it's very comforting! if your sister is a podcast person, Nagoski also has an eight part podcast series of the same name where she debunks myths and answers more questions about sexuality.
actually hi as long as we're talking about podcasts Kate Lister, a historian who specializes in historical records of sex work, has a terribly fun podcast called Betwixt the Sheets that's nothing but sex friendly fun. it's got enough interesting historical meat to it that it's not even obvious sex neutral propaganda on the surface; some of my favorite episodes have Lister interviewing other academics about Queen Victoria's dietary habits and Hollywood portrayals of vodun.
if we want to talk about the 101 of getting comfortable with one's own genitalia and reproductive health, I must point to Dr. Jennifer Gunter's Vagina Bible. Dr. Gunter has made a whole career out of debunking medical misinformation, wellness scams, and Goop over on twitter. I think she should be allowed to attack Gwyneth Paltrow with a sword but I can't make that happen so I can at least promote her book.
if your sister starts feeling adventurous, Dr. Lindsey Doe's youtube channel Sexplanations has been a formative influence on me and has years worth of videos covering tons of topics in quick, unabashedly enthusiastic bursts of information. this video where Dr. Doe talks about her own instances of internalized sex negativity could be an excellent starting point, especially if you want to discuss it together like a lil youtube bookclub.
for a longer youtube dive, Khadija Mbowe's ruminations on sex positive feminism, its shortcomings, and which parts they see as worth preserving could also be a great point of conversation, especially for someone whose coming into the conversation not identifying with sex positivity. caveat that they do link to Christine Emba's book Rethinking Sex in the video description and I cannot in good conscience recommend or fuck with that at all, sorry.
Angela Chen's book Ace, about asexuality, is genuinely so so wonderful, and I think required reading for anyone trying to make sense of any kind of sexuality.
Meg-John Barker's book Rewriting the Rules is a maybe a more expansive version of Nagoski's book, less focused on sex and much more interested in expanding ideas of what relationships can look like and encouraging personal expression within them. honestly I think that's a really important part of embracing sex negativity - more compassion and less judgment for yourself can lead to more compassion and less judgment for others, right? right, hopefully.
Jaclyn Friedman's book Unscrewed is a delight, and does something similar to Mbowe's video linked above by highlighting ways in which commercialized #girlboss "sex positivty" is useless and then providing instances of real people doing actual, tangibly useful and positive work. Friedman highlights everything from queer youth shelters to orgs run by and for trans sex workers of color to reproductive justice organizations; it's a great dip into a lot of different radical causes without (hopefully) being too overwhelming.
I hope this serves as a good starting place for a lot of positive conversations with your sibling! good luck, friend xoxo

In which Sally Jackson realizes by the time the new baby is eighteen, a semester of college will cost an arm and a leg. And those Fifty Shades of Grey books sure did make a lot of money.
glass figures by ahermioneh: epic marvel/pjo crossover that is partly responsible for me to actually get an ao3 account, deviates from pjo canon a lot but uses a lot of the world building

I lifted my gun, pointing it towards the minefield of shattered fragments, and kicked the small coffee table out of the way.
Only to stare down at an awfully familiar face, which split into a somewhat lopsided grin. The intruder raised his hands in a mocking surrender. “Long time no see, dude.”
I lowered the gun. “What the hell are you doing in South Peru?”
Or in which Clint Barton and Percy Jackson have a long personal history that starts in high school.
The File (series) by denimbeans: Another epic (long) crossover series for marvel/pjo, very spoilery for HoO tho: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2375215

It’s a fortune that Poseidon has a mortal son, because when an ancient curse hits his kingdom and all the sea gods disappear… well, someone must rule.

While both of them were extremely happy knowing the twins’ gender - for right now, they’d have to check it again in a few months to be sure -  Rooster knew he had to mentally prepare for the time he was to be deployed. It was talked about it, everyone knew it too, so it was better to manage his emotions before they left, it’d be easier.
Not to mention he’d want Mav to know about it too, before they were out of the country.
He taps his pen against his palm as he leans back on his chair, lips pursed - reports thankfully filled and piled up on the corner of his desk- and his eyes locked on his facing down phone. He had to figure out how long they’d be away and…well, be ready to see a bigger Nicole when he returns because he knew it’d happen.
Rubbing his eyes with his fingertips,Rooster decides to get himself some water or something because he wants to distract himself. The thought that Nicole would be bigger and Beatrice’s pregnancy could be nearing it’s end did bother him, yes, of course it did, he’d be an idiot to say it wouldn’t…but they talked about it several times. She’d send him pictures and videos and she’d keep him updated.
“The last thing I want is you getting worried when you are so far away from me.”
His cheeks warm up as those sweet words echo in his brain for a few seconds, his smile widening because Beatrice was just an angel in the flesh. She was painfully sweet, he had to admit their relationship did grow a lot more over the years they’ve been together. Not that it wouldn’t but it…just worked. Beatrice was the most understanding person he had ever met, from the very first time he left when they started dating, from the day she just said ‘okay’ and smiled at him he knew he’d always have a hard time no matter how kind she was.
Because he miss her.
A lot.
All the time when he’s gone.
The little scent baggie she gave him helps, the smell reminds him of her and he sometimes brings it to his nose before he has to fly or goes to sleep. His time talking to her is limited, but he tries his best to always talk to her, be it a short message…but he was honestly nervous because he knew how she got pregnant with Nicole. He didn’t want her to worry either, about him or about the babies, but he also knew that asking her not to worry was a feat by itself.
He gets himself a bottle of water,chugs half of it in a matter of seconds and slowly makes his way back to his office. Because his mind was still in disarray, his heart was beating fast, but he knew the only way to deal with this was…making sure he’d be okay and is going to come back for his family. How big would Nikki be? She’d be nearing her one year birthday right?
“God, she’s going to be so big.” he mutters, rubbing his eyes and then his face with a hand, “I can’t keep thinking about this, it’s not going to help me at all.”
Easier said than done right?
The last message he got from Beatrice was nothing more than a ‘have a good day’ text with a picture of a smiling Nikki, reaching to the camera as if she wanted to hug it. He smirks while rubbing his thumb over his daughter’s face, then sighs as he shakes his head, “God damn it,I can’t have -”
“Sir!”
He knew that voice, well, those voices. He slowly turns to see Faraday and Thompson hurrying over to him, saluting the second they were within range from the Lieutenant, “At ease.” he says, “What can I help you guys with?”
The two young recruits shared a look, only for Faraday to reply, “Well sir, we are curious about this mission we’ll go. The one we’ve been hearing about for months.” he says, the topic of conversation makes Rooster arch his brow with interest but he allowed the recruit to continue, “We were wondering if there’s anything else we should know?”
“Like what?”
“Like…who’ll go?” Thompson replies quietly, his hands behind his back, almost feeling like he’s in pain while doing so.
Rooster turns his whole body around and then parts his lips for a reply, ‘You two know I can’t answer that, but I assume it’ll be more than you two. I’ll go, so will Mav-Cpt.Mitchell. Are you two nervous about it?’ from the shifty eye action it was obvious that they were, “This isn’t your first time doing this, it might be more than you expected but it can be done.”
“...right.” another shared look before Faraday continued, “Sorry sir, we don’t want to come across as wimps we-” Rooster raises his hand and stops them from speaking, his eyes closed and brows furled annoyingly.
“Having fear doesn’t makes us wimps.” he says gently yet firmly, “Having fear is what makes us smart and what makes sure we’ll come back home,” he inhales after that because he feared, a lot, so much, so often that it sometimes took control of him when he was away. Of course he could handle it, he was a seasoned pilot right now, he knew how to handle this. But these two were practically kids, they were just a few years younger than he was when he joined, “You are not wimps. Take that out of your vocabulary.”
“Yes,sir.”
“I’m serious.” he says again, quieter, “Whoever bases their whole personality in being ‘never afraid’ shouldn’t be taken seriously. We all need a pinch of humanity every once in a while,” he ‘hms’ with his brows up, making sure the two understood what he meant, “You got it,right?”
“Sir, yes sir.”
“Listen, don’t start being doubtful now.” he looks down at his watch to check the time, “There are times to be scared but you gotta manage it the best way that you can, you hear me?”
“Yes sir.”
“Good,” he salutes them after they do it one more time, “Now go back to what you guys were doing and remember stuff will happen, you just gotta be prepared for it, alright?’
“Yes sir.” another salute and Rooster tells them to go before they spend too long standing there doing nothing. The two recruits laugh but do as he ask, leaving the older pilot standing there with his mouth downturned and his thoughts somewhere else.
He wasn’t wrong in saying that fear makes us think better, most of the time that is, and sometimes it is a necessary emotion when it comes to survival, especially when it comes to what they did. He sighs as soon as he turns around to go back to his office, the young recruits talking behind him as he pulls out his phone.
Once in the safety of his office, he sends Beatrice a simple text, just a 
“Everything okay?”
She replies immediately with a picture of her, Nicole and the dogs all lying on the couch watching TV. “Everything great :)” she is smiling at him, that smile has his heart in its clutches. He loves her so much, so immensely much that it was harder to comprehend he’d be so far away from her for God knows how long.
“But she understands.” he tells himself, “She does, it’s Beatrice she is going to understand me.” he looks down at the picture, knowing he’ll have this to remember her by once he’s out of California…as much as it pained him to think about it, it was his job.
“Anyway, reports don’t fill themselves.” he mutters, tossing the phone aside and rolling his neck,”Time to get to it.”
-
“Mav.”
“Yeah?”
His uncle holds his helmet in his hand, standing next to his motorcycle as Rooster makes his way over, holding his own keys in his hand and setting the sunglasses over his eyes, “Do you have anything planned right now?”
“Me?” he questions, ‘...no…why?”
“Bea wants to give you something.”
His uncle blinks in shock, “Beatrice wants to give me something? How come?” he gets a shrug from the younger pilot, “Thanks, that helps a lot. Brad, there’s no need for gifts, you know? I still have all the Christmas gifts I got from her family, I don’t even have space for half of it but I’m not getting rid of anything.”
“I know.” he smirks, ‘But she still wants you to show up there, don’t you wanna see Nikki? You said you haven’t seen her in a long while. And you complained about it a whole lot.”
“I didn’t complain it that much.” his nephew just arches his brow, almost challenging him to continue that line of thought, “Okay, maybe I did complain a bit, can you blame me? She’s adorable.”
“That she is…anyway, are you coming?”
“I mean, sure, I don’t know what Bea would want with me.”
In reality, she just wanted to tell Mav about the twins - she planned something for everyone they didn’t tell about it yet, she planned on telling Penny later tonight once she’s out of the bar and away from her boss’ worried looks. Her parents were close second in finding out about it…soon. Bradley liked the idea of surprising his uncle and yet giving him something soft to settle in case he fell down and hurt himself…not that he would, he only joked saying he’s going to faint.
Albeit once he’s driving back to their house, he thinks about the time when he did tell him about Nikki and Maverick almost did faint….well, maybe it was better if he was seated once he knows about it.
He parks the car in front of the house instead of the garage since he was taking Beatrice to work later, walking out of the car and waiting for Maverick with his hands on his hips, “You need help there?”
“Huh?”
“Taking a while to climb off that bike, huh?”
“What?”
He points to his uncle’s bike, “Back giving you issues?”
Maverick stared at him for a few seconds, then pointed back at him, ‘You are lucky we are in front of your house or else I was going to give you a nogging you wouldn’t forget.”
“You can’t reach me.’
“Alright.” Maverick places the helmet aside, laughing as he makes his way over to Rooster, playfully punching him, “I’m older than you,kid. Don’t think I can’t handle it, besides,I can always call for back up.”
“Back up?”
‘Yes- hi Beatrice.”
Rooster looks up when he sees the brunette by the door,holding a wriggling Nicole that doesn’t know who will have her attention first: her father or her great uncle? Or both? Her little arms stretched towards them and her cute smile widening because two of her favorite people? In the same place? “My little girl!” Maverick however stepped faster than his nephew would, picking Nicole from Beatrice’s arms and kissing her cheeks, “Oh you smell so good, did you miss me? Did you?”
“Aaa!”
“Yes,I missed you too!’
Beatrice watched with fondness as the two shared this moment, moving her eyes to Rooster who just watched with the tiniest bit of annoyance in his face, he was jealous. He tried to play it off but Beatrice knew, even stepping out from the door to greet him with a kiss on the lips, ‘Hi.” 
“Hi.”
“You are pouting.”
“Am not.”
She taps those pouty lips and giggles, “Yes you are, come on, you can share her love a little. She just loves Mav as she does you.” she places her chin on his shoulder as they watch Maverick playing with Nicole, their daughter giggling, ‘But I’m glad you brought him over, makes it easier.” she says, “Mav! Can we go inside? It’s windy.”
The older pilot blinks but nods, holding Nicole to his chest and kissing her head, eventually giving her over to Brad- he did hold the little girl close as if he refused to let her go again, narrowing his eyes just a bit, watching his godfather step inside first with the three of them following, “You look cute when you are jealous.” she smiles ,kissing his cheek ,”It’s so rare to see it.”
“Yeah,well,”
“She just has you on her tiny fingers,” she grins, kissing Nicole’s little hand, “Yes you do,honey, yes you do. Daddy is just butter in your hands.”
“Well, she got that from her mom, so.” his smile falters a little, “After Mav leaves…I think I’ll just have to talk to you a bit.”
“About?”
“The mission.”
Beatrice inhales shakily, her eyes widening but she nods, rubbing his back as they go inside, “Of course,Roos.” she says, “You know I’m all ears,don’t you?”
“I do honey, I do.”

There’s another key factor with Viv’s Millie thread that bothers me that I forgot to bring up, and that’s that she seemingly seems to act like writing married couples is hard?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like…she brings up how they’re “newlyweds” and how it can be difficult to write that since they’re attached to one another, and I get that but…apparently she doesn’t know that just because you have two characters that are married and love each other very much, doesn’t mean you can’t make them characters on their own? It’s literally EASY since Moxxie is more innocent and straightforward, while Millie is the muscle of the relationship and cutthroat. She literally contradicts herself though by admitting she’s aware that Moxxie HAS had focus OUTSIDE of their relationship, and DOES have a character outside of his wife, yet somehow she can’t do the same for Millie because what? Because she was too focused on wanting to develop Blitz, Moxxie, and Stolas? That’s your problem RIGHT THERE Viv, and yet this entire thread was gaslighting 101, admitting the problem but making it out to be our faults. Honestly you can tell this woman hasn’t changed because this is the first time she’s spoken a good chunk of words to her audience, and yet this is completely a YIKES factor no matter how hard she tries to put on the “I’m not petty or spiteful and I can take criticism and know that it’s important” mask.

Hi ! what past do you think Hanako have ? I mean he did not have any bandage in chapter 101 ! do you still think it is Tsukasa that hurt Amane ? what do you think Amanes real reason is to kill Tsukasa ? To me it feels like Tsukasa want Nene to know the reason and Amanes past, it feels like Hanako did something more horrible that Tsukasa want Nene to know !
Hi there!
Per Tsuchigomori's account (his homeroom teacher) we were lead to believe that Amane had been receiving injuries since his first year. And as you say, during Chapter 101, we see Amane in his first year... with no visible injuries.
Tumblr media
Obviously, the conclusion to be drawn here is that Amane either hadn't started getting injured yet, or that the wounds are simply located in unseen places. (Which Tsuchigomori wouldn't know about regardless.)
Anyway, I do still think it was Tsukasa hurting him, whenever that started happening. I simply believe that Amane's behavior about getting hurt makes no sense unless it was Tsukasa. I don't see why Amane would go to such lengths to protect anyone like that if it wasn't his brother--the only person he has been shown to have any significant relationship with in the story before his death. And, later, the one that becomes his most precious yorishiro.
Of course, as always, I could be wrong! But I don't think I'll ever be budged on this issue, not unless we learn some new earth-shattering information about Amane's past.
As for Amane's motive to kill Tsukasa, it's all speculation at this point. Honestly, I wouldn't doubt that someone could have figured it out already by analyzing the themes of the story. But, for me personally, it's really hard to come to any sort of conclusion--especially one that feels satisfying. For something to have been kept a secret for so long, I'm mostly just hoping that AidaIro will deliver when it comes time to bring it to light. (And considering their track record, I'm optimistic!)
As for Tsukasa, his motives are always a little mysterious to me... outside of him seemingly wanting to grant Amane's true wish and destroy all the yorishiro. I mostly view Tsukasa as someone using Nene to accomplish his goals, which I think has been made pretty obvious in the recent chapters.
...But then you have moments like when he sends Nene to The Place That Is Everywhere And Nowhere and she ends up meeting Amane from the past, and you have to wonder if he planned that to happen all along... ...And for what? How does that help accomplish his goals at all??? I don't know!!! He's so confusing!!!!!
But anyway, I do lovingly subscribe to the theory of Amane doing terrible things in his past--other than murdering his brother, of course! That's admittedly some wishful thinking on my part, but I just love when stories are revealed to be more complex than they're first presented to be.
And if Tsukasa wanted to show that past to Nene, to reveal to her what Amane keeps hidden away (even if it isn't that horrible)... I think it makes some sense! She did do him a favor back at the Red House, right? And maybe there's some as-of-yet unseen bonus to keeping her informed. Who knows!
Anyhow, considering how Tsukasa was portrayed in Chapter 107, where he makes a face like this while singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow...
Tumblr media
...even if Amane only murdered his brother... it really makes you wonder how "justified" it all was.
Thanks for the ask! ^_^

Roman and Gerri are a dynamic that is hard to handle and I'm not saying there is a definitive answer but I am saying that one can't just conveniantly leave out important dots that were made to be connected. Not denying that there is fondness between them, their humor and general assholery seems to be on the same wave length, which is why they enjoy the company they keep, but this is a deeply exploitative dynamic on both ends for different reasons. I wrote way too much about this, but here it goes-
Gerri's perspective:
Before their brief phone conference era, Gerri fixes the rocket launch disaster for him and notices that he takes to her because of it; think of him calling her about Vaulter. After the Hunting insanity he asks her advice which is when she realy knows there is something to be had here and then the phone call happens, which... look. Is there ever an indication Gerri enjoys this on the sexual gratification (not attraction, but I'll get there) level that Roman does? Not really, she can't quite believe it, finds it funny/ interesting but it is simply also such a perfect bonus to know this Roy sibling is with her while Kendall is out and god knows what Shiv might be up to. On the yacht he is also the one to defend her right away about cruises which on one hand, sure, is because they are fond of each other but you can't deny how conveniant that is as well. Throwing her weight behind Roman also seems to be paying off during season 3, he literally causes her to be interim CEO by nuking his own chances. It all blows up though with the dick pic, something that is implied Gerri isn't comfortable with (rightfully so, obviously) but seems to have maybe accepted for a time because of their "alliance". But when it all blows up, especially towards the end, she turns her back because it isn't worth it. "How does it serve my interests" is a fun callback but it is also quite literally the entire summary of Gerri's approach to the relationship. She might feel sorry in a way, but season 4 clearly shows how she does not talk to Roman after this, does not interact if she doesn't have to. Like, why would she comfort Roman on the boat, he just tried to fucking fire her and then he actually fires her because he is spiraling. The last real interaction between them has to be at the election party, because at that point it isn't just 90% business for Gerri, it's 101%. She will get something out of this and, honestly, good for her that she gets re-hired in the end; if anything she was made for this type of environment. It actually speaks to her character that she isn't into the funeral recording, a very human moment but it's important that that is the only thing we get from her on screen. What about the script? Sorry, didn't really happen, did it and it is for the best. (I would have found it insane if Gerri was the one to get through to Roman when Shiv can't, like, no)
Roman's perspective:
Not exactly news that he can't seperate business and family; getting the top spot is literally earning daddy's love and the only motivation for Roman in the first place. So, in comes Gerri, a person he has known for a long time (I want to let the implication "since childhood" slide, because that sounds unnecessarily creepy, but just know I have considered it), and she fixes his mess and holds out a helping hand. She provides guidance that he wants from his father but can't have, because it makes him weak and therefore less in Logan's eyes. He keeps reaching for Gerri in the way that, in an ideal world, he would for his father. But, and this is the most important thing, Roman goes to Gerri whenever he fails to perform masculinity (= heteronormativity=business). Dad calls him a moron? Gerri. Failed phone sex with Tabitha? Gerri. Failed sex with Tabitha? Gerri. Tabitha didn't want his proposal (it's not how you get someone to stay), maybe Gerri does. This is so interesting, because that is the text pretty directly pointing out that whatever Roman and Gerri have is neither romantic nor sexual attraction; because this is in many ways what he had with Grace and Tabitha- only this time it is someone who can actually fill out the paternal role (not mommy, never mommy) because of the business side of things that parallel Logan. Gerri playing into the humiliation kink on the phone is paralleled by Roman listening to dead Logan's fake voice message. And when he sent that dick pic to Gerri but it ended up with Logan... do you really need me to go on?
On a side note; isn't it interesting that any form of "sexual" interaction between Roman and Gerri needs this layer of seperation- phone call, screen, or bathroom door, a home video on the TV (okay that one isn't sexual anyways but still), you get to pick. And then in season 4 he can't even look at her... well. Season 4 also generally cashes in on the Logan and Gerri parallel; when she tells him "i could have gotten you there" and walks out on him a few days after his father, who had just made a business related promise, died..huh. And when she walks into Waystar at the very end, unaware of him, it might as well be Logan's ghost which is why Roman reacts the way he does after.
tl;dr: This ain't romantic or sexual, and it is a shame to not afford it the complexities of being fucked up; it's also not some doomed romance like... no. Gerri kinda got what she wanted in the end, Roman didn't. Shouldn't. At least he's out.
Picture of me after typing all that:

weirdly enough, gojo is like sasuke to me .-.
i don't mean personality wise, it's just a very personal thing where i would dislike sasuke because everyone and their mother would cream over him and write fanfics where... idk i just thought he was a douche yk (<- the reason why that didn't happen with naruto is because i had a childhood crush on him + literally the first scene i saw with sasuke was him trying to kill naruto so.. that wasn't a good meet cute for sauce gay and me yk) (<- <- the reason that didn't happen with kakashi (who also has that gojo effect thing imo when it comes to how the fandom thinks/interacts with his character) is bc i was 10 so i had the chance of not living the Kakashi Experience first hand)
and that's honestly the same thing with gojo, he irritates me so much somehow DHSHAD but also i think he's like sasuke to me in the way that, once i was "forced" to roleplay as sasuke (long story), i decided "well imma still be in character since i'm a GOOD roleplayer" yk? so i started thinking more and more about how he'd feel and think, his life etc, and that made me portray a sasuke that was accurate and well-liked (from what i gathered at least, and i really hope that was the case), but also that helped me separate him from the vision the fanworks i had consumed had made of him, idk if it's clear?
i mean if people wanna make sasuke ooc they should go for it, it just made me hate him as a character so that's just me LOL
and anyway i was thinking "hmmm i really wanna write a satosugu" when... tbf i don't really care about geto (he's interesting as a character but i don't care much about ANY jjk character tbh dshdhs except toge and maybe noritoshi), and honestly i just highly dislike gojo because of all the noise there is around him (Underrated Character Fan Behaviour 101 ik ik)
i just really like the dynamic and story of stsg, it's tragic lovers 101, especially with the last line gojo tells geto, that we don't hear but ykw i've read so many posts about it being "i love you" and how it's a curse/not a curse depending on the pov, it's driving me insane (/pos)
but yeah i was thinking i wanted to write a stsg and usually my fics dive more into the psychological aspect of things than just some light-hearted shit, and even if it's light hearted i need me some character analysis yk? and anyway that made me think "wait. that's basically what happened with sasuke. so... i don't hate gojo (i knew i didn't hate HIM tho), i just hate how the fandom loves him and i just wanna play with my new barbie on my own" LOL
tldr i'm a hater
LOL that’s funny to come to a realization that way!! Tbh the way that these popular characters are written is often time off-putting and will turn you off from them. I love Sasuke to bits but I don’t dare step into the fic tags lest I be subjected to toxic and abusive relationships 💀 I think Sasuke’s written a lot better in sns ship fic (tho maybe I’m just biased haha). I think I’d say the same for gojo tho I haven’t read a lot of reader insert fic I just see a lot of it in passing / hear about it from gojo-loving moots. Maybe for characters such as these it’s better to form your own opinion and not take into account the fandom perception of the character… like I love gojo but I don’t really interact with the greater gojo fans yk? Same with s*susaku oriented Sasuke fans, since they are always dead wrong about him 💀
I’m definitely very protective of Sasuke in my mind like. Only people who are right about him can play with the Sasuke doll. To everyone else he’s off limits. LOL

The Great Snow Symbolism Discourse (Update!)
Part I | Part II | Part III | Addendum
Hi friends! It's been a long long time since I updated this thread. I stopped at chapter 101 and now we're at chapter 131! I honestly hadn't even given it much thought until the most recent volume release.
Now I always loved these chapters and adored the fan translations, but the official translation kinda took them to the next level.
Mainly that Shirayuki is definitely considering, ah, things
Tumblr media
(Chapter 104)
Tumblr media
(Chapter 104 - jfc Obi she is hitting on you with a baseball bat, bro)
I know that the read on early Shirayuki was that she couldn't find her game to save her life, but this is several years later in canon. She's not a teenager anymore, but a young professional woman. And the above panels absolutely read like a woman who is testing the ice to see if she'll fall through.
A few chapters later, after Ryuu shared that he wanted to come with them on the Eisetsu arc, we get this scene (in the snow)
Tumblr media
(Chapter 106)
Like the entire interaction read to me like Shirayuki was shooting her shot and while Obi's self confidence has improved significantly over the years, when it comes to Shirayuki and any degree of romanticism, it is still in the ICU, and it may or may not have just.. flown right over his head. Accepting that someone can enjoy his company? Okay he's cool with that. Assuming that someone would like to keep him? Still a hard sell.
But please note. The small snow flying around them. The tiniest of flurries by the bonfire as the symbol of the obiyuki relationship - snow in the one place in Clarines that is eternal winter.
And if that is not enough, when I finished, I closed this manga and there on the back-
Tumblr media
Obi. In the snow.
Which begs the question:
Is the symbolism of snow truly ephemeral when both parties are summoning it?
