Hey, so...
Have you all noticed *how* Crowley and Aziraphale are drinking in 1941? And by this I mean... that they barely are? <wink>
Tumblr media
Crowley has been drinking for millennia by this point. He gets drunk as Bildad the Shuite in 2500 B.C.. Aziraphale has been drinking since sometime prior to the scene in Rome, which is also when we see them drink together for the first time. *This* scene is 1941 so countless years and meet ups between Crowley and Aziraphale have taken place since and considering how these two drink together in other situations-- like how completely wasted they were in the "eleven years ago" scene in S1-- this one here in 1941 is *interesting.* Why?
Because friends, that is *one bottle of wine* on the table beside Aziraphale and I can still see wine in it above the label, which means what's currently in their glasses is less than the first half of the bottle... which means the glasses they are sharing now that Aziraphale just poured are their first drinks of the evening... and neither of them are really drinking much of it. That signals an intent not to drink very much at all-- the open bottle probably being plenty for the two of them. They're going slowly, without an intention to get drunk, but not really just to savor together a particularly interesting vintage. They don't seem to be noticing or tasting the wine at all. Aziraphale poured them both a good amount but not overkill but both of them so far in this scene just take cautious, *small* sips of the wine... and they don't need to conserve it, ok?
It's not the war. It's canon that Aziraphale has a case of Chateauneuf-de-Pape that he picked up in the 1920s sitting in the back of this shop at this very minute that he doesn't bust open until "Eleven Years Ago" in the future of S1 and Crowley is a bootlegger in this moment in history lol and also they're both literally magic. They could miracle wine from halfway around the world if they wanted to. There's wine to drink if they want to get drunk...
...and they both have silently agreed that they don't want to.
It is the *only* time that they drink together in a scene that we've seen where they have a mutual agreement to not drink that much. Even when Aziraphale *didn't drink*, he still got *food* drunk while Crowley was drinking in the Job minisode.
But when they're having a drink together in 1941, both of them are very clearly, by a kind of unspoken agreement from the vibes in the room, *not really drinking.* Just a little. A few sips that will lead to a glass or two a piece total, at most-- that bottle split between them would be a lot from the air of and the pace of them in this scene.
And I mean... forgetting for a moment that Aziraphale will get drunk without issue in other scenes, we all know Crowley, right? This Crowley...
Tumblr media
In S1, part of *God's narration* lol includes that Crowley and Aziraphale had been drinking for six straight hours in the bookshop together in "Eleven Years Ago." Rome is one thing because they had just had just met up so we don't know how sloshed they got over oysters at Petronius' new restaurant (and would seem likely that they did) but in every other scene when they drink together, basically, they drink quite a bit and both of them usually wind up drunk, especially Crowley.
So why is 1941 different?
Because they're drinking like people who both want to mess around, that's why.
Yeah, people mess around while drunk and I'm sure the same can be said for any of the few Effort-curious angels and demons outside of these two but Crowley and Aziraphale are not a casual hookup to one another-- they're in love, they're best friends, and they haven't been together before after literal millennia of pining and yearning for it. It's not something that's happening while they're drunk. They want to be sober and for it to be special and the evening here in 1941 has really got everything lining up for a perfectly romantic night, if they want it to be. All the rescuing one another and little glances and now Aziraphale's asked Crowley back to the bookshop for a late night drink and they're both drinking like they want it to be tonight.
They're both silently telling one another they want something to happen by the fact that they're drinking with no intention to get drunk. They want to be present. They want to remember. They want each other's explicit consent so they're barely drinking the wine so that it's evident that if things get intimate, it's not because either or both of them are drunk, and no one has to stop over concern over that.
Aziraphale is looking at Crowley looking all dashing, unusually quiet for him, maybe a bit nervous and still hiding a little behind his glasses-- Hell's biggest lush taking the world's smallest, barely-there sip of that wine lol-- and is like how many more tiny sips do we need to take before I can crawl onto his lap...?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aziraphale's like omg, the sex is going to be amazing... thank God I don't yet know in this moment that something-- like some Zombie Nazis, probably-- will stop us and we'll still be on trying to kiss one another 80 years from now...

Chapter 3
You let out a long sigh as you shimmied into the 5th bridesmaid dress that Tommi had sent over to you to try on. Once it was mostly up you grabbed the string you had attached to the zipper and pulled it up to zip yourself in, a little trick you’d learnt after living alone for a few years. You then stepped back into the view of Tommi who was watching through your laptop screen. 
“Hmm I don’t think I like that one as much as the others, the neckline doesn’t look quite right” she hummed as she assessed the dress. 
“Yeah I’ve never been a fan of strapless” you added as you tugged the bodice of the dress up higher “This dress does make my ass look good though” you smirked, twisting to show off all the work the dress was doing. 
“You can say that again” Tommi whistled “Still doesn’t beat dress number 3 though”
“Yeah same, that one’s my favourite” you agreed “How many more are there?” you asked glancing over to the large box which she’d sent over to you containing all the different dresses. 
“Just two more” Tommi answered “I know 7 is a little overkill but I just wanted you to have a dress you definitely liked, especially as my maid of honour”
“Yeah, yeah I know it's okay” you sighed tiredly, scratching your forehead “So is this going in the no pile?” you asked dropping your arm to gesture at the dress you were currently wearing. 
“Yeah let's ditch that one” Tommi confirmed with a nod of her head. 
You let out another long tired sigh before stepping away to undress and put on the 6th dress. 
“Hey is everything okay? We can call it a day if you wanna?” you heard Tommi call out. 
You shook your head and stepped back into frame “Nah it’s alright, just been a long week that’s all”
“It’s Wednesday” Tommi frowned. 
“Exactly a long ass week” you grumbled as you step back, take off the dress and toss it into the no pile with the 4 other dresses. 
“Not as fun working with your dad as you thought?” Tommi asked as you changed into the sixth dress. 
“No it’s not that,” you said zipping up the dress and stepping back into the frame “Chris has just a bit… I dunno…”
“A dick? Asshole?” Tommi supplied making you shake your head. 
“No, not really, a bit dickish but not majorly” you defended.
Tommi frowns “Right… so what’s happened since Sunday and now?” she asked. 
“Well apparently he didn’t realise I was the coach’s daughter, got all pissed that I’d hidden it from him” you explained. 
“Did you?” Tommi frowned. 
“No, well I didn’t outright tell him who my dad was because there wasn’t really the opportunity but I gave him enough to connect the dots, I assumed he already knew” you explained with a shrug of your shoulders “Yeah I should have probably made it clearer but who cares who my dad is? We’re grown adults!”
Tommi nodded “What else did he say?” 
“That he wouldn’t have slept with me if he’d known, all because my dad said no one on the team is allowed to date me” you sighed. 
Tommi took a deep breath as she nodded her head slowly “Well… at least you cut it off before it got any further, one time can be played as a mistake” you just hummed in response, not quite willing to admit that you still offered him more “wait, what did that hum mean?” Tommi asked and you cursed under your breath. 
“Can you stop it with your empath vibe checker thing” you groaned in annoyance rolling your eyes. 
“It’s not that, I’m just know you too well, so c’mon get it out otherwise it’ll just fester,” Tommi said with a knowing look. 
You let out a long sigh as you repositioned your laptop so you could sit down on your bed “All I did was point out that my dad said no dating, and casual sex isn’t dating”
“No but it’ll get messy if you keep seeing him, I’m sorry but I agree with Chris on this one, you need to move on a find someone else” Tommi said gently. 
“I know but fuck I just can’t seem to stop myself from thinking about him, it's like I’ve got this itch that only he can scratch” you explained. 
“I think you might need to get that checked out” Tommi smirked pulling a snort of laughter from you. 
“You know what I mean, there’s just something there like a magnetic force that keeps pulling me in and I know I shouldn’t but the words were just out of my mouth before I could stop it” you told her. 
“I get that” Tommi nodded “but maybe you just need to find someone else to scratch that itch, someone where the possibility of it blowing up in your face is smaller” she suggested.
“Yeah, the team are playing at home again this weekend so I could probably find someone after the match again” you hummed as your fingers mindlessly fidgeted in your lap “It's just… I think what my mind keeps coming back to and part of why I feel that pull is the way Chris has behaved suggests he’s a really good guy”
“Even though he was a bit of a dick after he found out?” Tommi frowned. 
“Yeah, but it must have been a bit of a shock to find that out so it’s gonna be justified, and you know he cares about what my dad thinks, anyone else who was a dick wouldn’t have cared, he does” you explained “which just makes me think it might not blow up in my face”
“Yeah… that is true but it still might and even if you did end things amicably there’s still gonna be that awkwardness and do you really wanna risk that?” Tommi said with a gentle sigh “Look I think right now you just need to focus on you, and your job and just be happy with yourself, do what you want”
“Yeah maybe you’re right” you admitted despite it feeling so, so wrong, especially since what you wanted was Chris.
“You’ll find someone else, someone who’s not a dick and isn’t gonna cause unnecessary drama,” Tommi said with a reassuring smile. 
You nodded “Thanks Tommi,” you said before standing back up “This dress is a definite no, it digs in when you sit down and while I plan to do a lot of dancing at your wedding, I can not not sit down” 
Tommi let out a loud laugh nodding her head “Okay, another one for the no pile, so unless number Seven is a miracle dress, number three it is”
“They do say three is the magic number” you winked making Tommi laugh even louder. 
Like predicted dress number three was the winner so you packed the rest back into the box ready to be shipped back to Tommi so she could return them. The two of you then ended up spending another hour or so catching up, talking a little more about the wedding before you finally had to call it a night. 
You felt exhausted when you climbed into bed. Today’s training session hadn’t gone well at all, all the players were playing well individually but their cohesion was gone. They were a completely different team than what you saw on Saturday. It meant more minor injuries were cropping up like jarred fingers that needed strapping. 
Chris seemed to be the worst though as he missed countless number of passes and tackles, it was like his mind was switching off periodically. Part of you wondered and maybe hoped it was because of you. That maybe you were on his mind just like he was on yours. Another part of you was worried if that was the case because Chris was right about needing to focus on the Championship. 
Despite how tired you were you just couldn’t get comfortable and your mind just wouldn’t turn off. Chris was once again on your mind, first you were just revisiting the encounters you had and wondering how you could have played them differently. Which then turned into daydreams about what you’d do and say if something similar happened again, which just turned into straight-up fantasies.
Fantasies like what if Chris had taken you up on that offer in the medical room. Would he have bent you over the medical bed and taken you from behind? Or would he have lifted you up onto the counter and taken you there? You honestly couldn’t decide which you’d want more.
If he took you from behind you’d feel his hips slapping against your ass, he could take full advantage of your ass, grab it, spank it. He could wrap his hand around your hair, tugging it, pulling you back to make the angle even more delicious. 
If he took you on the counter though, he’d have full access to your chest again. Your top would be ripped off as soon as possible, your bra discarded too. One hand could grip your hip to keep you where he wanted, the other would be massaging and squeezing your breast. His callused fingertips playing with your peak, pinching and twisting. He’d give your other breast equal attention with his mouth, using his tongue and teeth to pull you to your peak. 
You could feel the heat pooling at your core at just the thought of Chris. You tried to just think it away and not scratch that itch but it was impossible. Soon enough your hand slipped under your sleep shorts and you felt just how turned on you were just at the thought of him. You couldn’t recall a time you’d been this turned on at the thought of someone. 
Just the feeling of your fingertips running up and down your core brought relief while also making the pressure ten times more intense. You increased the pressure, bringing your fingers up to your clit, swirling them around the sensitive nub, gasping when you pinched it between your fingers. 
Feeling the needy ache inside you, you slipped your fingers down to your entrance, biting your lip to hide a moan when you slipped your fingers inside yourself. You knew almost immediately your fingers alone would not be enough. You gave yourself a few pumps, pressing the heel of your palm against your clit but it just wasn’t enough. You needed the thickness of Chris’ fingers, the thickness of his cock.
In desperation you grabbed your vibrator from your drawer. Your shorts thrown haphazardly across the room to give you more room to work with. You instantly turned it on and pressed it against your core, a moaning curse escaping your lips. The memory of Chris doing the exact same thing played in your mind, the way he teased you and made you beg.
The memory alone meant you were precariously close to the edge when you finally pushed the vibrator inside. Usually, you found yourself still having to work yourself up, only ever finding your peak with the highest setting, but just the thought of Chris had you nearly coming on the lowest. 
You wanted to find relief, but you needed this to last longer. You took a couple of calming breaths, bringing yourself back down from that cliff edge. When you felt ready again you began playing with yourself once more, hands roaming over your body. 
Your mind kept coming back to Chris which just made your need even more intense. So much so that even though you wanted to pace yourself you turned up your vibrator to a higher setting, a loud moan escaping your lips when you did so. 
Not knowing how thin your walls were and not wanting to disturb your neighbours you rolled over onto your stomach so your pillow could muffle your moans. The new position did wonders as you then pictured Chris taking you like this, the way his weight would push you down into the mattress as he pounded you from behind. 
Your hips instinctively bucked up off the mattress as if he was there, as if you were moving to meet his thrusts. Your fantasy was so vivid it was like you could feel his presence in the room, smell his aftershave in the air. 
You moved up onto your knees, head still against the pillow as you picture him lifting your hips up. His fingers leaving marks on your hips as he gripped onto you. You once again turned up the intensity of your vibrator, your whole body moving as you pumped it inside you, chanting Chris’ name like a prayer. The chanting became a scream when you hit your peak, the noise drowned out as you buried your head in your pillow. 
Your legs felt weak so you rolled back onto your back, your chest heaving as you came down from your high, the vibrator still buzzing inside you. The image of Chris hitting his own peak flashed through your mind. The moan that escaped his lips, the blissed-out look on his face. You were caught by surprise when a second orgasm rolled through your body just because of the mental image of Chris hitting his peak. 
When you finally recovered you quickly turned your vibrator off and set it aside. Your chest was still heaving as you tried to catch your breath. You had never had an experience like that on your own, never been able to give yourself two orgasms. You knew it was all because you were picturing and wanting Chris. 
Even though you agreed with Tommi that pursuing something with him could lead to disaster, you knew that even if you did find someone else you’d be comparing them to Chris and it would just lead to disappointment. Chris had officially ruined you.
Tumblr media
Chris was screwed. So, so screwed. All week he’d been off his game, at first he could blame it on his sore leg holding him back but thanks to your stretches that was sorted by Tuesday. He had no excuse for the rest of the week.
In the gym sessions, he wasn’t able to work at his usual level, benching far below his average. When he got questioned on it he just lied and said he was playing it safe this week. When truthfully he wasn’t physically able to lift any heavier. 
In training sessions when they went over drills he wasn’t able to hit as hard or take as many hits. His passes were slow or off target leaving the rest of the team to pick up the pieces. He could see the frustration on their faces when they had to scramble to collect the ball, he understood how they were feeling because he was feeling it too.
He tried everything he could to get his head back in the game. He stayed late in training sessions, running drills solo. He tried meditating to clear his mind but it was impossible because there was always one thing on his mind. 
You.
Even when he didn’t see you at training you would find a way back into his mind. His mind kept going back to when he confronted you in the medical room and despite how pissed he was he was one move away from initiating round two. Your offer replayed in his mind, reminding him of the loophole, tempting him. 
He couldn’t give in to temptation though. There was too much on the line for that. Every time he considered it he just told himself that he needed a release. It was worse at night when the world was quiet and his brain could get loud. So every night he found himself jerking off to give him that release he was clearly craving. He’d try not to picture you but it was near impossible, each time he’d picture a new fantasy each one getting more vivid and intense than the last. So much so that last night even after he brought himself to orgasm he still felt the intense need for release. 
He just hoped that on gameday everything would click back into place and he could focus on the game. As he walked into the stadium he followed his usual pre-game routine. He had his headphones in, head down as he walked through the corridors to the changing room, ignoring the photographer who was capturing the team's arrival. 
In the changing room, he kept to himself as he changed into his kit. He was lucky that he was even picked to play following his awful performance, he hoped that it was because Coach Y/L/N still believed in him and not because he wanted to lie about an injury during training. 
Once he was ready he just sat in his cubby and mentally ran through drills, picturing the Chicago Knights recalling all their weaknesses he’d noticed during analysis sessions. As the rest of the team arrived he gave them small nods of greeting before returning his mind back to the game ahead.
When it was time to go out onto the field he felt more confident than he did this morning. He had yet to see you though which he worried was the reason why. He knew he’d regret it but when he walked out onto the pitch he glanced over to the bench and that’s when he saw you talking with the other medics. He managed to catch your eye, he watched as you studied him for a moment with an unreadable expression on your face before returning your attention back to your conversation. 
Your complete dismissal of him left a strange feeling in his stomach. He was fighting the urge to walk over and say something. He didn’t know what he wanted to say but he just knew he wanted to be next to you. Thankfully he was snapped out of that train of thought when Ari slapped him hard on the shoulder. 
The confidence Chris had built was all but gone when they started warm-ups and drills. He wasn’t playing as bad as he had during the week but he wasn’t playing well at all. When he went aside to practice his kicks his accuracy was completely shot. Angles that he usually found easy were now near impossible and he could hear the murmurings of the crowd behind him. 
When warm-ups were done the team gathered for their usual huddle. While the coaches gave their usual talks Chris worked on emptying his mind, so much so that he didn’t notice it was his turn to talk until Jensen patted his shoulder to get his attention. 
“Sorry” Chris muttered shaking his head “We’ve had a tough week, all of us, some more than others, but we need to put that behind us and focus on the here and now” Chris started looking around at the team “we beat the knights earlier this season on their turf, we can beat them again on ours, think positively and think clearly, they’ve got something to prove so they’re gonna hit us hard so be prepared, we can win this and we will win this,” he said trying to convince himself more than anything. 
Thankfully the team didn’t seem to notice his lack of confidence as they nodded along and did their usual cheer in confirmation before heading back into the changing rooms ready to start the match. As Chris followed behind them he once again spared a glance in your direction, you met his gaze once more but instead of looking away, you gave him the smallest of nods. Chris was surprised to feel it settle him slightly, he didn’t allow himself to think about it though as he shook his head and walked back through the tunnel. 
Any confidence Chris had that the team were gonna win this match was shredded pretty quickly into the first half and it was all Chris’ fault. The other players were playing well, they’d taken what he said on board and put everything behind them, it was him who was letting them down.
He missed so many passes, fumbled the ball and knocked it on. So far almost all the penalties in the game were because of his mistakes. At one point he seemed to almost completely switch off and missed a tackle allowing the knights to break free, if it wasn’t for Johnny’s speed and tap tackle they would have scored. 
He was bringing the team down with him, any play he tried to make was the wrong call. He was making poor choices and the scoreboard reflected that. All he could hear was the crowd complaining whenever something went wrong. 
Needless to say, Coach Y/L/N was not impressed when it was finally half-time and the team made their way back into the changing rooms. Chris had only just sat down in his cubby when the coach marched in, a look of thunder on his face.
“What the hell is going on out there Evans!” he demanded.
Chris tried to find a reason to explain it all but he couldn’t so he just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head “I-I dunno coach, I’m sorry… I think I’m just in my head” he apologised.
“It’s not good enough Evans! You’re off for the rest of the match, Levinson you’re captain for the second half” Coach Y/L/N ordered. 
“Yes sir” Ari muttered glancing over at Chris whose jaw had dropped.
“No sir I’m fine! I’ll play better I promise” Chris reasoned not liking that he was being dropped mid-game. 
“You’re lucky you even played today Evans and you know it!” Coach snapped “We need to win this match and then we have a two-week break, use that time to get your head on straight, I don’t care how you do it, just sort it out”
Chris let out a defeated sigh and nodded his head “Yes sir”. 
Chris zoned out for the rest of the team talk, just shrugging on his jacket to keep him warm just in case he needed to go back on. He doubted it though, the only reason he’d go back on now was if there were enough injuries that the coach had no choice. 
Once half-time was over Chris followed the rest of the team back out, except he took a turn to sit down on the bench instead of following them onto the pitch. He let out a long sigh as he sat down he glanced over to the side and saw you stood with the other medics ready to run on at a moment's notice. Chris instantly shifted in his seat knowing you were now only a short distance away from him. This was gonna be a long second half. 
Tumblr media
You usually watched a match pretty intensely because you had to spot when a player was stubbornly trying to play on when really they needed some medical attention. But today you refused to take your eyes on the pitch unless you absolutely had to. Mostly because all you could feel was Chris’ eyes on your back and you didn’t want to find out whether he was glaring daggers at you or not. 
He was seriously off his game and you couldn’t help but feel like you were to blame and you didn’t know how to feel about it. On one hand, you really didn’t want him to be off his game, and you didn’t like that you were the reason especially if it was pissing him off. But… on the other hand, a part of you liked that you had gotten into his head, that you were affecting him as much as he was affecting you. 
Curiosity got the better of you and you glanced over your shoulder to catch a glimpse of him. Only to find him watching you with his jaw clenched and shoulders tight. The look on his face was not one of want it was one of irritation. Yep, he was pissed off at you, curiosity killed this cat so you whipped back around to focus on the game.
Thankfully there were only 20 minutes left of the match and you could head home and get away from this. There was definitely no chance with Chris and you needed to accept that fact. If it required a pint of ice cream and a gallon of wine then that’s what you’d do. 
You were just making your non-break-up-break-up recovery plan when you noticed Johnny get up from a tackle limping. You grabbed your bag and ran onto the pitch to meet him and made him sit down to get the weight off his leg. 
“Hey, hey sit down before you make it worse” you said wrapping your hand around his arm to stop him. 
Johnny flashed you a lopsided smile before nodding “Sure thing” he agreed sitting himself down “It’s my ankle, just needs strapping”
“Sure not a problem,” you said passing him a water bottle before grabbing some tape from your bag.
As you worked you could feel Johnny watching you and when you glanced up you saw his trademark boyish smirk “I have to say you pull off that orange medic bib well, not many do” he said.
Your eyes narrowed as you studied Storm “What are you doing?”
“Flirting with you,” he said without missing a beat.
“Did you not hear my father’s warning?” You asked him returning your attention to his ankle.
“Oh I did, but Evans is off his game and jealousy never fails to give someone that push” he explained with a shrug of his shoulders “We’ve got a championship to win, we don’t need a Captain who’s distracted because he’s not allowing himself the action he wants”
You swallowed nervously “he told you about that?” You ask trying not to sound too scared at the prospect.
“No it’s none of my business, I’d just heard he’d left the bar with a girl last weekend, didn’t know it was you until I saw the look on his face when you walked in on Monday” Johnny explained. 
“What look?” You asked tilting your head slightly.
“The look of running into a hookup unexpectedly, trust me it's a look I know well, I also know the look on your face whenever you look at him,” Johnny said pointing at you.
“Oh yeah? And what’s that?” You scoffed.
“The one that says you’re lost in whatever dirty daydream he’s currently starring in,” Johnny said knowingly.
“Yeah well he’s made it pretty clear that it's not gonna happen” you huffed as you put the tape back in your bag and passed him a water bottle.
“Nah he’s close to cracking, trust me” Johnny said with a shake of his head “So tell me do you want to get into bed again with the captain?” he asked with a knowing look. 
You bit your lower lip as you considered it. The voice of Tommi flashed through your mind telling you it was a good idea that Chris cut things off. You can’t get hurt if you don’t get involved. But no matter how many times you told yourself that you just couldn’t get the craving to go. 
“Yes,” you whispered nodding your head.
The grin on Johnny’s face grew “So let me help you, and in turn, help the team” You don’t say anything except arch a brow and a lopsided grin grows on his face “all you need to do is laugh, smile at me and maybe send me on my way with a touch to the arm”
You glanced towards the sidelines where Chris was watching from his spot on the bench. Even from this distance, you could tell his expression was stormy and it wasn’t because he’d been taken off early. His gaze was set solely on you and Johhny.
“Alright, deal,” you said holding out your hand to help Johnny to his feet. 
“Perfect, and in return you can give me the number of your sister if you have one” Johnny smirked.
You laughed at that “I like you Storm but even if I had a sister it would be a no” you chuckled.
“Hot single friend?” He asked hopefully making you laugh even more, not even needing to fake it.
“Focus on the Rugby,” you told him, touching his bicep as you stepped away back towards the sideline. 
As you walked back your gaze met Chris’ whose face had turned even stormier. He quickly adverted his gaze, only to glare daggers at Johhny. It was a good thing that he’d been taken off because by the look in his eyes, he’d probably tackle Johnny himself. 
Thankfully for the team, the Bears managed to claw back the scoreboard and beat the knights so the team were in high spirits when they returned to the changing room, with the exception of Chris who was still being broody. 
You were stood in the corner with the rest of the medical team while your dad gave his usual post-match speech and they all celebrated. When there was a break you caught Johnny asking you to come over to his cubby with a beckoning finger. 
“Hey what’s up? Ankle okay?” you asked him as you crouched down to examine his ankle.
He pulled it away though and leaned forward so he could whisper to you “It's fine, ready to execute phase two of our plan?”
“Phase two? I didn’t realise this was a multiphase plan” you said tilting your head. 
“We’ll use as many phases as needed” Johnny smirked “So what’s gonna happen is I’m gonna loudly invite you out to celebrate with us tonight”
“Like a date?” you asked. 
“Sure, but you’re gonna turn me down and say maybe another time” Johnny explained. 
You let out a small snort of laughter “Are you sure your ego can take that?” you smirked.
“It's a risk I’m willing to take, all we’re doing is confirming to Evans that he still has a chance but he has to act fast” Johnny elaborated “You’re gonna say that all you want is a night at home”
“So he knows where to find me” you realised. 
Johnny winked “Exactly, so get yourself home and put on some of your cute cosies you girls have, the ones that say you weren’t expecting visitors but will still send his blood south” he smirked. 
You let out a loud warm laugh at that, shaking your head at him “I like you Storm” you chuckled happy to know you had at least one friend on this team. 
“Everybody does, now you get home and get some” Johnny winked. 
As soon as you could you made your way home. You figured you had a bit of time to have a shower to freshen up and make sure you were ready for if and when Chris decided to show up. You then did as Johnny said and got into your best-looking cosies which consisted of a fluffy crop top and leggings. 
Then all you had to do was wait. 
And wait. And wait. 
You waited for so long that you were really starting to doubt Johnny’s plan. What if Chris had decided to go out with the team? Would Johnny try and convince him to go home? What if Chris decided to find someone else, did what Tommi suggested you do?
You needed something to drink. Opening the fridge you let out an irritated groan when you discovered that you were out of beer, all you had was a bottle of white wine which was not your preferred drink. It would have to though so you grabbed the bottle and poured yourself a large glass. 
Walking back to your couch you took a healthy glug to try to calm your nerves. You set it down on your coffee table so you wouldn’t drink it all in one go as you sat down, your leg bouncing nervously. Picking up your phone you considered maybe texting Chris, maybe you could phrase it in a way that looked like you were just checking if he was okay.
Before you could even think any further on that you heard your intercom buzz. You swallowed nervously and rose from the couch and made your way over to the intercom, taking a deep breath before pressing the button.
“Hello?” you said simultaneously hoping it was and wasn’t Chris.
“It's Chris… we need to talk” Chris responded making you breathe out a sigh of relief, at least you thought it was relief.
“Sure, c’mon up,” you said buzzing him in. 
You didn’t hear anything else from him to suggest he was actually coming up but nevertheless, you opened your apartment door and waited for him. As you did so you nervously wiped your hands on your leggings hoping you didn’t look as nervous as you felt. What if he was still pissed? What if he thought you were trying to get with Storm as was here to tell you to back off?
When he finally came into view you had to swallow and tell yourself to behave because he looked that good. He had clearly showered but not bothered to reapply any hair product because his fluffy brown hair was disheveled. He wore a navy zip-up hoodie which was a size or two too small going by the way it clung to his biceps. But his grey sweatpants were the real killer and you had to mentally remind yourself to look at his face.
Neither of you said anything as he stepped inside your apartment, his hands buried in his pockets. You barely moved after shutting the door, just watching as he stood there looking around at your apartment. 
“Less boxes” he finally said, his eyes finally finding you. 
“Yeah… thankfully” you said struggling to find anything else to say, the atmosphere quickly becoming awkward “Do you want a drink? I don’t have any beer, but I have wine” you said looking for an out, pointing at your wine glass. 
Chris shook his head “i’m good… you’re not expecting anyone are you?” he asked clearing his throat.
“No, I wasn’t, I’m not” you told him taking a couple of steps closer. 
Chris nodded his head pursing his lips “Just figured you’d invited Storm over” he said. 
His tone made your hackles rise, putting you on the defensive “Would it be a problem if I had?” you stated making Chris clench his jaw “Because you know we are two consenting adults, we don’t need permission to do what we want, we don’t need your permission, or my dad’s” 
“Oh, so you do want to sleep with him?” Chris fired back. 
“Why? Why do you care? Is that why you came here? To tell me to back off?” you demanded. 
“No” Chris growled. 
“Then why? Why are you here? What do you want?” you pressed walking over to him.
“I-” Chris started but you interrupted him again. 
“What do you want!” you pretty much shouted.
Chris just growls surging forward, his hand clasping the back of your head as he crashed his lips down onto yours. You instantly responded, kissing him back hungrily, your arm winding around his shoulders, your other hand gripping his hoodie tightly. He in turn pulled you closer hand moving to cup your ass, a groan escaping his lips when he squeezed it. 
“You’re such a bad idea” he groaned as he continued to kiss you. 
“Then why does it feel so right” you murmured as you tried to tug him back towards your bedroom but he wouldn’t budge. 
“Because you’re a drug” he muttered making you gasp in surprise when he turned you around, his hands placed firmly on your hips as he pressed kisses to your neck “All week I’ve wanted you, I thought I could deal with it myself but it wasn’t enough… I needed the real thing,” he said tugging your hips back into his so you could feel just how much he needed you. 
“I know… I felt the same” you gasped as he slipped one hand beneath the waistband of your leggings, fingers running over your core and feeling your arousal. 
“We shouldn’t do this” he murmured but still doesn’t stop, his fingers finding your clit and rubbing it in circles. 
Your head dropped back against his shoulder giving him perfect access to your neck. Your hands gripped his arms to keep yourself upright when he nipped at your pulse point only to soothe it with his tongue. 
“Don’t stop” you begged, your hips bucked up into his touch. 
“I don’t plan on it” he growled as he plunged his fingers into you. 
You let out a loud moan but it was silenced by his lips capturing yours once more. You all but melted into him, you would have completely fallen to the floor if he hadn’t wrapped his free arm around your waist, trapping you against him. 
You came in record time, moaning his name as you hit your peak. Your chest heaved and your vision turned hazy but you were pretty sure you were watching Chris lick your arousal off his fingers which only made more flood your core. He caught sight of you watching him, a smirk on his lips as you bit yours. 
Without saying anything he moved you so you were bent along the back on the couch, your leggings and underwear were soon tugged down and removed, thrown somewhere in your apartment. The anticipation was killing you as you heard Chris undress behind you and the tell-tale sign of a foil square being ripped into. 
It then went silent. All you could hear was your heartbeat in your ears and your heavy breathing as you waited for him to do something. After what felt like an eternity his hands ran over your hips and ass, massaging and squeezing your cheeks. He took his time, a moaning gasp escaping your lips when he decided to spank you once only to instantly soothe the stinging with a kiss.
He then kicks your legs further apart before stepping closer and lining himself up. You tried to fight back the moan at the feeling of just his tip pressing against you. He then went still and all you could hear was his heavy breathing as if he was trying to hold himself back. 
You didn’t want that though, it had been the longest week in existence and you needed him now. You didn’t want him to hold himself back, you wanted him hard and fast, you needed the release only he could give you. There’d be time to go slower another time. 
He must have been reading your mind or you were thinking out loud again as he then slams into you with so much force you nearly went over the top of the couch. He didn’t give you a moment to recover and you didn’t want it either because this was exactly what you wanted, what you fantasised. 
“Fuck you feel so good” Chris groaned as he thrusts deeply into you, his hands gripping your hips tightly leaving his mark on you “How could I possibly think I could stay away” he muttered more to himself than to you. 
His words made your back arch as you gripped the couch and ground back against him. Getting that confirmation that you had the same effect on him that he did on you was the biggest turn-on that existed. 
Chris took advantage of your arched back reaching around to slip his hand under your fuzzy crop top to cup your breast. Pulling a loud moan from you as he played and pulled at your sensitive peak. 
“Ch-chris I-” you moaned unable to form a coherent sentence. 
“Hold on, I’m not done with you yet” Chris groaned as he placed a kiss to your spine “Not yet” he repeats when you let out a pleading whimper. 
You did what you were told, trying to hold on for as long as Chris wanted you to, talking yourself back down from the edge that you so desperately wanted to jump off. You held on until it was impossible, grabbing Chris’ hand and directing him towards your clit but he pulled his hand away before you got the touch you needed. 
“Ah, ah, ah, did I say you could cum?” Chris asked leaning down to whisper in your ear. 
“Please” you begged gripping his wrist. 
“Please what?” Chris pushed moving his hand closer to where you wanted it. 
“Please Chris, just please” you pleaded. 
Chris didn’t say anything making you whimper only to gasp when he placed a kiss to your shoulder as he finally found your clit and brought you to the peak you were desperately chasing. You came with a loud moan your walls clenching and pulsating around him, you were so high in the clouds that you were only faintly aware of Chris hitting his peak just after you. Your only indicator being the feeling of his weight over you as he finished.
Your vision began to clear as you felt Chris pull out of you. You continued to recover, catching your breath as you heard Chris moving around your apartment behind you. 
You were about to push yourself up to stand when you felt Chris’ hand run gently up your back. Looking over your shoulder you saw the gentle expression on his face as he helped you stand before leading you around to the front of the couch. 
You watched as he lay down on the couch before pulling you down to lay on top of him, his arm wrapped securely around your waist. Your hand rested on his chest as you looked down at him and tried to understand the expression on his face. You knew there was stuff you needed to talk about, work out exactly what this arrangement was but you didn’t want to ruin this moment just yet.
So you just rested your head down on his chest and ran your hand over his chest “What are you doing tomorrow?” you asked quietly. 
Chris hummed “nothing…why?”
You lifted your head again to look back down at him “Congratulations, you’ve been awarded membership to the most exclusive club in Boston” 
A lopsided grin grew on his face “About time” he chuckled as he cupped your cheek and kissed you.

Aizawa NSFW Headcanons
Tumblr media
Minors Don’t Interact. If you’re under 18, take a walk!
Warnings: NSFW 18+, fem-reader, pretty vanilla, some of these headcanons aren’t exactly nsfw, daddy kink
Aizawa pretty much doms always. He can get a little lazy and will definitely let you ride on top of him or give him head, but he’s always the one that takes the lead
He can get rough at your request or if he’s pent up. He’s not like this always, though.
His pace isn’t slow though, it’s always at a beautiful rhythm and hits your g-spot perfectly
Aizawa lost his virginity in his early 20s. He lost it to a partner of a long-term relationship that he’s no longer in 
His dick is big. He’s about 6 and a half inches long and girthy. He wears those baggy sweatpants for a reason. 
He’s aware that he has that paternal vibe to him, and isn’t entirely against a daddy kink, but he doesn’t like overkill of it. It makes him feel uncomfortable if overused. 
This isn’t related to sex, but Aizawa occasionally smokes weed. It’s not everyday, but when he has time off he’ll smoke to ease stress and also loosen his muscles up. It also helps his PTSD
Actually, to make it about sex, sometimes Aizawa gets horny when he’s stoned
Has had sex in alleyways before, but he doesn’t like doing it that much. He did it more when he was younger, but he’s grown more domestic over the years.
Always uses a condom, unless you’re on some form of birth control or have an IUD
Even then though, he prefers to cum on your stomach or back because he doesn’t want to risk pregnancy
He may be open to kids at some point but it’ll be a while. He has plenty to take care of already, he needs adult time. 
He hasn’t had a large number of sexual partners. Maybe 5 people in total. 
Honestly, he’s not too interested in sex if he’s not in a relationship. He sees it as unimportant at best
He also doesn’t masturbate very often
He’s actually very vanilla, to be honest. He doesn’t have many fetishes or kinks. He does enjoy bondage (you receiving) and edging. Again, he’s not exactly against the daddy kink. 
Shouta can control his volume during sex, but if you tell him that you like hearing him make noise, he’ll let groans and deep breaths out
Isn’t circumcised
Doesn’t shave
Enjoys blowjobs a lot, but he knows that he’s big (he’s humble about it) and doesn’t expect you to choke yourself on his cock (unless you want to).
His favorite positions are pretty standard: cowgirl, missionary, doggy 
Aizawa isn’t picky about body types, but he’s a little bit of a chubby chaser. He loves ladies with full, curvy figures and soft tummies for him to sleep on.
He does like slim girls as well though!
Aizawa doesn’t identify with a label, but he’s probably demisexual and bi if he had to pick 
He’s pretty cuddly, actually
He’ll allow you to blabber to him when you wake up on a weekend morning and are resting in bed. But he’s probably not fully listening
Loves makeup sessions, but it’s SO hard to initiate them with him. He doesn’t initiate them, at least not in a flashy way. They’ll typically start from cuddling session.
Enjoys taking showers with you, whether they get sexual or not. Sometimes just feeling your skin pressed on his feels comforting and helps with bonding between you two. 
Shower sex sucks though because positions are weird
Especially if you’re short
He’s great at eating your pussy. He works sort of slowly but he knows how to get your blood flowing with just the right pressure from his lips and tongue.
Loves seeing you in cute clothes. Skirts and leggings and pumps are some of his favorites to see on you.
Doesn’t like schoolgirl-looking clothes, though. It makes him uncomfortable and reminds him of his students, which isn’t a nice thought.
Not exactly NSFW, but he feels so awkward saying “I love you”, because of course he loves you, but it feels forced at certain points.
It’s not often, but he does say it during moments where you’re bonding in a mundane environment. 
He loves spending time with you, but unfortunately, his two jobs get in between you two having an abundance of it. He tries to leave the weekends flexible because he does appreciate the time you spend together
He prefers stay-in dates doing pretty much anything you want to do. He’s open to activities, as long as it isn’t ridiculous or annoying. 
He can last a long time. Sometimes he can’t finish very fast, even. 
Isn’t incapable of dirty talk. He can be really teasy sometimes and knows the right things to say to make you feel horny.

The HP Epilogue: JKR's trashfire ending to a trash book series
I was reading snippets from the epilogue for the first time and everything about the epilogue is just frustrating. And I want to share things I found intolerable about it to let off steam. These are MY opinions so if you feel differently, I am happy for you. But here is a summary of my gripes.
The names of the Hinny Harry's kids
James Sirius. Albus Severus. Lily Luna. I can empathize with wanting to honour people you love by naming your kids after them...but this is just overkill. Not one of Harry's kids has an original name. Not one! And I said Harry's kids because it seems like Ginny had absolutely no input in the names. If I am being generous, maybe the Luna name was hers, but given the naming pattern of the kids, I am sure that Luna references Lupin and not Luna Lovegood. Sometimes I feel as if Harry has a domineering vibe in Hinny and the kids' names are not doing any favours to combat that. Not surprising as everything about the Hinny romance was dictated by Harry's wants. Who cares about Ginny?
Muggleborne discrimination is bad but pureblood discrimination is A-ok
‘You’re right, sorry,’ said Ron, but unable to help himself, he added, ‘don’t get too friendly with him, though, Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive you if you married a pure-blood.’
I could not believe my eyes when I read this. It's like Ron forgot that HIS family is pureblood! It's the same vibe as a black parent telling their black or mixed kid not to marry another black person! Luna is pureblood! Neville is pureblood! Do the Weasleys have some kind of self-hatred?? Another point to purebloods slowly dying out but who cares? As far as JKR is concerned, the wizards should be aiming to all be mutts with mixed blood :)
BTW the Scorpius/Rose pairing fills me with revulsion. I like Albus and Scorp as friends though! But not so much as lovers.
Marriage is the only way to be truly part of a family
‘Oh, it would be lovely if they got married!’ whispered Lily ecstatically. ‘Teddy would really be part of the family then!’
Got some heavy Hinny vibes from this line of dialogue. Harry did not become a true Weasley until he got with Ginny after all :)
I know Lily is a kid and she means no malice, but I truly felt disgust towards this line. It just bothers me, especially in the context of Hinny and how Ginny functions as a way for Harry to become a Weasley member. Teddy is Harry's godson, he should be like a big brother to Lily. How does becoming a cousin-in-law make him more of a family member compared to being her surrogate big bro??
Do Hogwarts alumni swear an oath of secrecy?
‘And you don’t want to believe everything he tells you about Hogwarts,’ Harry put in.
He had never told any of his children that before, and he saw the wonder in Albus’s face when he said it.
So James Sirius is telling Albus Severus exaggerated tales about Hogwarts similar to what the Weasley twins did to Ron. But how is this possible? Do the parents not talk about Hogwarts to their kids? If my kid was going to my alma mater, I would tell him/her all about the school when I went there. I don't understand why it seems like parents don't talk about Hogwarts. At least Draco's parents seem to talk to him about the school at least.
Muggle abuse is still funny Ha. Ha.
‘As a matter of fact, I did Confund him,’ Ron whispered to Harry, as together they lifted Albus’s trunk and owl on to the train. ‘I only forgot to look in the wing mirror, and let’s face it, I can use a Supersensory Charm for that.’
Remember that Ron is an Auror! A wizarding cop! But nah muggles are still lesser than wizards so even a guy like Ron who's supposed to be a good hero character feels no shame in messing with their autonomy. Ron is literally so disgusting in the epilogue. Never thought I would end HP finding Ron the least tolerable of the trio when Ron is usually my fav of the 3. Not that the bar is very high for the other two.
JKR really does not like Draco
His hair was receding somewhat, which emphasised the pointed chin.
Of course, JKR can't end the series without throwing more shade at Draco. He's rocking the middle-aged man look, only has one kid and has a love interest that we know squat about. And then in CC, Draco's wife dies! Sigh, I really hate Drastoria...
All is not well
There is still house discrimination. Magical creatures likely still have fewer rights. Aurors like Ron and everyday wizards abuse their powers against muggles. Purebloods are dying out. Wizards like Albus act like they did not grow up in a magical world, aka wizards still have low brain cell counts. But sure, Harry's scar is fine so ALL IS WELL!
I can't believe there are people out here calling JKR a good writer! I see the vast potential of the book series and I feel so sad sometimes. I am so happy that HP never existed in my childhood.

Possibly unpopular opinion (Or perhaps not idk): I love what they have done with Zuko and Ozai's relationship in the live action Netflix Avatar show.
In the cartoon we never get the ~vibes~ that Zuko has a complicated relationship with his father, only that it is abusive and one-sided in the sense only Zuko craves Ozai's approval, while Ozai straight up hates him, wants him dead or has no problem with him dying (Why doesn't he kill him if he has Azula? We don't know, plot has to happen, he sent Zuko to find the avatar in order to get rid of him, probably, or actually canon idk or remember), clearly prefers Azula to him as successor, etc, etc, etc (+ later the comics literally overkilled this trend "she was born lucky while..." omg stfu). Zuko is basically the perfect character to prove the fire nation is not all evil (Oh look, they hate him too, he is inherently their victim too from the very beginning).
So when Zuko switches sides in the cartoon, what I see as an adult rewatching is someone giving up on luxory, physical safety and... that is pretty much it. Sure it is a big deal to give up on those things to do what is right (Few would) and still awesome that he did the right thing in the end, but if you really think about it, he is not giving up that much, he is not giving up anything truly valuable to him. Respect? Honor? Sure he is said to have received it back after Azula "killed" Aang, but we never truly see it. For all intents and purposes his sister has that and wayyy more of it. His father's love and acceptance? Never had it, so he didn't truly "loose it" when he spoke up for those soldiers, got the scar and was banished, it is not really shown to have suddenly popped into existence when he was said to have killed the avatar. He literally had nothing in the fire nation, literally nothing. This could only make "doing the right thing" a lot easier for him, and for the adult audience (At least for me), his arc is just him realizing what is almost irritatingly obvious for us: That no one in the fire nation truly loves and respects him so might as well switch sides (Basically if we weren't also shown that Zuko is compassionate and does care about the horrible things the fire nation is doing, Ember Island Players would have gotten a bit of truth in it).
Now, in the live action, where do I even start? It has been so good so far when it comes to Ozai and Zuko. That man, if he hated Zuko in a cartoonishly evil way almost from birth, he sure doesn't show it. Don't get me wrong, he is just as abusive (Creepily so in many scenes, made me feel so protective of Zuko and Azula), but he is also shown to "care" about Zuko as in having some hope left that he can mold him into another powerful genocidal mini me. Is Azula winning by far? Ofc, she is still the prodigy, I am sure I am going to see flashbacks of favoritism later on. But Ozai doesn't yet seem to favor her in a way that makes Zuko's craving for his approval (Or even Ozai's hope in him as heir) hopeless. It seems, from his scenes with Azula, that Ozai foments the rivalry and competition between the two siblings not only because he personally thinks Azula is the best (Which he also might in this version), but also as a way of control through fear (Especially for prodigy Azula), and to make them (Especially comparatively weaker Zuko) "better", something this version of Ozai appears to think is possible EVEN when he banishes Zuko. Now, he might have done this "to get rid of him" as in the original, but in the live action he seems super open to and genuinely believe the idea that the exile could make Zuko stronger and better, not to mention worthy of the throne if he succeeds. Ozai treats Zuko like the heir despite favoring Azula is all I am saying. Zuko's actions are therefore almost impossible, yes, but not hopeless or even naive. And if this trend of Ozai's respect and "love" (Super on quotes) being achievable continues, Zuko's eventual turn to the good side will be much more powerful. He will have to give up much more after spending a summer with his abusive parent love bombing him for "killing" the avatar. Zuko's choice will be solely based on his findings about the horrors the fire nation has committed and not wanting to be the cause of more suffering even though he could have it all. Even though it was his fate to be his father's "mini me"-> Something terrifyingly likely and not so quickly discarded by the narrative itself as it was in the animated series.
I think the best part about this subtle change in the father-son dynamic (If it was the intention of the writers, I am aware it could have been unintended) is that the scar tm was a direct result of Zuko's compassion for those soldiers and not just the excuse Ozai used to banish him or "final straw" because he preferred Azula sooo much more, as it is pretty much implied later on in the animated series and comics by focusing so much on how much of a perfect victim Zuko was pretty much from birth. The addition of the 41st surviving because of Zuko was also pretty nice, and so is Zuko's relationship with them, he will need fire nation allies when he gets to the throne and this is a good start, something the animated series never touched upon much.
I am on episode 6 btw so my opinion might change. I will edit this post if that is the case. BUT my thoughts on these first scenes doesn't change, they are good imho
EDIT (And spoilers): I just watched Zhao’s revelation where he tells Zuko that Ozai would never let him return and he just wanted to use him to motivate Azula. It does change things and invalidates most of what I said, but taking out just this one scene, as I said, the Ozai-Zuko dynamic is great in this show, and also, Zhao is obviously not the most reliable source, because he was allied to Azula and obviously wanted to hurt Zuko, as he was losing the fight with him. There is also the fact that Azula wasn't watching Ozai and Zuko when Ozai told his son that he was being banished and that it was in part so he could get stronger etc, that was all for Zuko and had little way of serving as motivation for Azula (Unlike the scenes where Ozai praises Zuko in front of her, those could have totally been him bullshitting his daughter to motivate her to work even harder). So all in all this scene doesn't ruin the overall impression I had of the Ozai-Zuko father-son dynamic in the life action show. In fact, it could be taken to confirm one of my impressions which was that Ozai likes pitying his children against each other to push them harder.
EDIT 2: Ozai's reaction to Zuko's possible death is further proof imo that his “test” was very much real (even if almost impossible) and everything I said earlier still stands. He wouldn't mind that much if he died, it would just prove his “weakness”, and he is very pleased with Azula, but he didn't look happy or even indifferent when he learned the news.

Lol.. first they promote the hell out of things only to cut it and then they go and delete critical comments on Insta... nicely done ABC.
Guess someone had to do overtime to delete over 500 comments on the Oliver reel. First I checked it was over 700, then suddenly you couldn't click on the answers anymore and now there are about 240 comments left.
Only a few about the cut karaoke. A lot where about how they bait and keep the transphobe around. All those seem to be gone now.
I have a bad feeling about this.
LOL yeah, PR team made a big boo-boo 😂
Not the first time, mind you, Fox used to make the same mistakes I wonder if these are the same ppl.
Also they are not responsible for the cuts, they work with what they get from the director and producer along with showrunner's descision.
Considering Oliver was talking about his favorite parts being filmed at the bachelor party and how much fun they had and how much they drank just to get through that karaoke scene, I'm guessing all cuts were made last minute and the responsibility is less on the PR ppl and more on the decision makers who has been known to be pathological liars over the years.
Moderation in the comments of a tv show is good to a degree imo, I've seen many pages on IG of big soccer teams and tv shows where the comments aren't moderated and it all borders on harassment and negative vibes between the fans themselves and the actors see it more than the decision makers anyway and the ppl talk about why they take a step back from social media.
Do I want the Marisol actress on the show? absolutely not, and that was before I found out about her bad joke on ig. - If you're a public figure and want to get work (in the US at least, where I come from if they fired every idiot who opens their mouth out of turn everybody would be out of a job) you keep your mouth shut and keep your account clean, she only has herself to blame for the hate she gets, especially considering that she didn't even apologize.
But sadly, she is here, crossing my fingers she won't be for long, not only because she's is a bad person, but also because her character is so lukewarm and trivial it's bordering on the absurd.
I am sad for Ryan and Oliver because they seemed so excited about these scenes in the bachelor party and the put in a LOT of effort into it.
BUT if that means the episode of Madney wedding focuses on Madney and nothing else, I am more than okay with that.
That is why you make the bachelor party in a separate episode, or like in CF in Mouch's party, you see them in the elevator dreading what may come, the get to the door figuring out that they've been played and that it is going to be a kick-ass party - the door closes- and opens up again in the morning and they all step exhausted and hungover into the elevator where it's clear the party was epic!
In 10 episodes season, you need to plan out, in advance, your time and scenes carefully, clearly it doesn't happen on 911,
My biggest fear is that from the hour and 15 minutes that were cut into 43 minutes, that the episode would feel rushed and not have emotional impact a Madney wedding should induce and maybe it would have been better if they cut guest stars storylines and calls down to make more room for a proper ceremony.
A kidnapping at this point feels like an overkill, they could have gone for a rough and dangerous call before the wedding and after everyone walk away, they are seen later that day or the next. at the wedding with a beautiful ceremony, like in Cruz's wedding in CF.
I really hope this episode focuses on Madney, everything else is completely unnecessary, I would be pissed if this episode focused more on other ships and take the spotlight off of Madney.
And the PR team should be handed the RIGHT materials in order to make a valid promo and post the right promotional pictures because otherwise it looks like they're deceiving the fans on purpose and that could be the reason why ppl would stop watching the show, ppl don't like to be played for fools.
Now, knowing that everything we were told we'll see was cut, and that final cut was made last second and SO much was cut, I have a bad feeling too, I am hoping we are both wrong. Because they can't afford another 6x18 episode - the format should be better with the move to abc not stay just as bad.

It's not really a new thought for me because I've considered it for Elucien but now I'm wondering we'll see the same for Gwynriel.
SJM doesn't really do massive time jumps once she gets her series rolling. There was 2 months between the ending of ACOWAR and ACOMAF. Another 1 -2 months between the ending of ACOMAF and ACOWAR. Maybe 4 months between ACOWAR and the novella.
And yes, SF picked up about 9 months after that but....SF was the introduction of the spin-offs that (while following individual pairings) are connected to an overarching theme. It was the book that started the current events.
When SJM introduces the possibility of a brewing war, she moves quickly. It's something we saw in TOG and ACOTAR (what with Rhys mentioning a war at the start of MAF and the war occurring about 10 months later in WAR.
The crossover takes place 6 - 9 months after SF and we'll be adding on to that timeline (depending on how long Bryce is in Prythian).
Does it make sense that this:
With a new war possible and Briallyn up to her bullshit with Koschei, we need a strong ally. We need the Spring Court's forces
Or this:
My father went to the continent again last week. / He did not invite me to accompany him. / I can only assume the fallout is approaching.
Or this:
But you and yours have more important things to think about than ancient history. My father is furious that his ally is dead, but he's not deterred. Koschei remains in play, and Beron might very well be stupid enough to establish an alliance with him too. I hope that whatever Morrigan is doing in Vallahan will counteract the damage my father will unleash.
Or this:
Tell my Vassa I'm waiting.
Or this:
Gwyn, despite the Rite, had returned to living in the library.
Or this:
So they would keep training, until they were all well and truly Valkryies.
Or this:
"The Illyrians are going to be furious about our winning, you know."
Have all just ceased to be important in 6-9 months? The bad guys don't just sit around waiting for the good guys to relax and enjoy life for a bit before pursing their evil deeds (also I just cannot imagine another awkward Solstice, especially for Elucien) 😂
Maybe the vibe I picked up in the crossover is wrong but the IC seems fairly relaxed for a group of people worrying about an upcoming war. Feyre arrived in painting clothes, Rhys had his smirky High Lord persona going on, Nesta was all but smacking Cassian up over the head.
I realize I'm reading into a few paragraphs but I'd think if Bryce had arrived in Prythian while everyone was really concerned about Koschei, Spring, etc., the IC wouldn't be in the right frame of mind to deal with her in CC3 or they'll come off a bit frazzled, wrapped up in their own problems that they have within their own world. Not to mention it is a bit of overkill in terms of things for them to worry about (adding the possibility of new villains being able to enter their world when they're already dealing with unrest in the continent, the courts, the human lands and issues with Beron and Koschei is excessive).
(I cannot stop imaging the spin offs to Captain America Civil War and the crossover to Avengers Infinity War / Endgame)
But what if CC2/CC3 is set in the future for all the characters, AFTER the ACOTAR spin-off series is complete? What if the crossover and the signing of the new books is SJM telling us where she's going AFTER the Elucien and Gwynriel books?
What if SJM will now be writing the next 2 ACOTAR books in the timeframe that exists between SF and CC2/CC3 and neither of them will actually mention the events of CC? (since Elucien and Gwynriels journey's deal with very different things, they could easily run on parallel timelines, things happening within the NC and things happening in Spring / on the continent).
I could see Elucien and Gwynriel having their romantic arcs where they deal with Koschei, the Illyrians, the treaty, Spring, yada yada, and where they put a stop to the civil war setup before it happens. Where by the end, all the characters are happily living their best lives with their partners only for SJM to introduce the real threat heading their way, and those books would feature multiple character POVs.
I think the crossover stuff is going to be too big a deal for us to read about it in someones romantic arc and I think if the Asteri do try to make it to Prythian, it's going to involve all the courts, human lands, continent (and therefore more POVs than the ones an Elucien or Gwynriel's books will provide). Can you imagine a book after the spin-off series that features everyone: Feysand POVs, Elucien POVs, a Helion POV, Nessian and Gwynriel POVs, an Eris POV, a Mor POV?
To me, the spin-offs don't feel like SJM is building up to one couple being the big closer. I have a hard time imagining Elain and Lucien getting the grand finale but that's because I don't think any of these romantic pairings seem to rise above the other, that any single couple should get the big end scene especially not in the book where it's centered around their romance (Feysand got together in book 2 with the war in book 3). It's almost like it's a chess game and SJM is getting her pieces into position. Nessian as the generals of the Illyrians and female fighting units. Whatever roles Gwynriel will step into, and Elucien as the leaders of (Spring)?
And once those pieces are in position, then they can all join together for a reason that unifies them all.
There was a fire burning in the townhome at the end of CC2, a place that is supposed to be sitting vacant. What if Gwynriel is already living there? What if Elain wasn't mentioned because she's already in Spring / Day with Lucien?
I don't believe CC3 would spoil anything if that were the case, I don't think we're going to have any real idea of who is with who romantically aside from the already established couples.
If Elain shows up in the crossover, still living with Rhys and Feyre than it shuts down this theory all together. But if she doesn't make an appearance or is casually mentioned as being elsewhere, it could be hinting that she is with Lucien already.
And yes, SF ended where Elain and Lucien weren't interacting and Az was obviously not completely over mor but MAF started with Feyre engaged to and in love with Tamlin, only to end up as High Lady of the NC and in love with, mated to Rhys within 6 months. Based on SJMs writing style, if CC picks up 6-9 months after SF, that does given both Elain / Lucien and Az / Gwyn time to have their character and romantic arcs especially if they're running on a parallel timeline.

hello. just started reading your pokemon posts. instantly obsessed! might i bother you for a scrap of totodile line? i love my crocogators very very much
Tumblr media
Totodile is from that period where starters didn't have distinct themes quite as much, instead putting interesting visual spins on real-world animals. In this case, Totodile is bipedal and has dinosaur-like spikes on the back. It's nothing fancy, but it has a fun personality and gets progressively more interesting as it evolves.
The only thing about the design that bugs me is that I wish the yellow was in more than one spot, especially because it's not highlighting anything important. Even just the eyes or something would've been enough. I also wish that random black line wasn't in the middle of the stripe given that it doesn't divide anything, but that's less important.
Tumblr media
Croconaw succeeds in being distinct from both of the other stages of this line, but it's a bit strange in terms of transitioning between the two. It starts to develop a caveman theme, which arguably plays into Totodile's vaguely dinosaur-like look, but that disappears almost immediately when it evolves. Likewise, the yellow develops into "clothing" of sorts that... goes right back into being a stripe with Feraligatr. You could argue this is more Feraligatr's problem than Croconaw's, but either way, I do wish there was more conceptual consistency with the direction here.
That aside, I do like Croconaw quite a bit. I think the jaw shape really captures how powerful their bite is, especially with the yellow highlights. The yellow marking on the body make it feel a bit more balanced than Totodile's yellow did, and the theming is subtle but adds a bit of flavor to it. The only thing that bugs me is the diamond-shape of the tail spike—looks like it's about to fall off any second.
Tumblr media
Like I said, I think it's a shame that Feraligatr looses all of Croconaw's new elements; even just keeping the underbelly markings or something similar to Croconaw's would've made the line feel more unified (and it's not like the belly stripe really does much visually here anyway). But with that said, this is a very cool Pokemon. I love how powerful and ancient it looks; really captures the spirit of an alligator while putting enough of a visual spin on it to make it feel like a monster and not just an animal.
Visually speaking, I like the way the back spikes are handled, especially how the middle one juts out of a hunchback of sorts. The indented head and the way the spikes run down it is also really pleasing. The yellow jaw also pulls the color through the design and, like Croconaw, draws attention to its bite strength.
The only thing that I don't completely vibe with, aside from the yellow stripe feeling a bit out of place, is the extrusions over the body. I think you need something there to break it up and they arguably look a bit like scales, but I feel like there should've been way less of them on the arms (like two max) and maybe have them be a different color, even just a darker blue or the yellow. It just feels weird to effectively have a division in the design that breaks up the form in theory, but then doesn't because they're the same color as the body.
Also, this is more of a minor thing, but I feel like Feraligatr's lost a bit of something over the years: it's gotten progressively thinner. Check out its original sprite:
Tumblr media
That is a CHUNKY boy, and the extremely hunched-over look, massive jaw, and small legs really make it look like a powerhouse. The color has also gotten more and more blue over time (I don't mind it being blue instead of the green here; I just wish it was the darker blue it was original instead of the almost neon blue it is now). It's not a huge deal, but something I hope they lean into again in the future if they ever end up giving this line another form.
Anyway, overall, these guys are some fine starters. There's enough of a visual twist that they're interesting without going overkill on a theme, they look powerful, and the designs are, for the most part, well-balanced. I have a few nitpicks here and there, but overall, these guys are enjoyable.

Not an ask for your AU but your drawing process. I have a few questions on how you do art and I would like to take notes as I would like to improve my art.
-how do you make your art so soft? I feel like every time I attempt it, it looks blurry.
-usually what dimensions are your images? I feel like, again, some of my art is blurry and I know part of the reason why is some of my art is blurry.
-usually what color background do you draw with? In your WIP of the Grimm art it seemed like you drew with a grey background while with some of the other arts you drew with a warmer background. Is it simply based on the mood.
That's all of the drawing questions I can think off the top of my mind now.
i'll be more than glad to talk about this! though forgive me if the explanation is a bit over the place, i'm not the best at describing my process since to me it kind of just happens haha
to answer the first question, i think it's a combination of the right kinds of shapes (rounder shapes tend to look more soft, even if the linework itself isn't) and the brush i use for my lines. it's the default mechanical pencil brush in clip studio paint, one that has a pretty low density and requires me to draw over a line multiple times if i want it to be thick. that definitely helps with making the overall picture softer, since the less "important" or inner lines aren't as pronounced. i also color the inner parts of the lineart to make it blend in a bit nicer (which also gives the whole thing a paper cutout kind of vibe, i think)
since you mentioned that your art often ends up being blurry, i'll touch up on the canvas dimensions since from my experience it impacts this aspect quite a lot. i draw on very big canvases, the default one is often 4000px in either dimension. it's definitely a bit overkill, but i'm used to drawing with a large brush size. i often end up downscaling it later to save up on storage (and whenever tumblr cries about the file size being too big), and i always make sure to use the "hard edges" interpolation method, as it keeps the lineart crispy and pencil like
as for the background, i start with a gray one since i find it to be very easy on the eyes. sometimes i leave it as it is, especially if it fits the overall color palette, but recently i started changing the tone to a warmer one, most often a muted brown. plus it adds a little bit of color to the whole piece
lastly, it's not part of the question, but a big part of the final piece is the paper texture i overlay on top. to get the best result, i put it on a linear burn layer mode with low opacity. it gives the whole drawing a more pencil or canvas like appearance, and it adds some texture to help it appear less flat. another thing i started doing recently, which i think is the most noticeable on the tone of color i use for grimm's neck fluff, is that i color it with a modified mechanical pencil brush with randomized color hues per stroke. i quite like the effect even if it's very subtle most of the time

My Trafalgar Law HC's!! pt.2 🤍🤍
Slight Spoiler!!!!
Thoughts🌸🌸
So, as I was writing Chapter 5, I got an idea for something I could add.
Basically, for my HC, I was thinking that maybe Law is secretly good at music? There have been some non canon material in spinoff content that I've been looking at that have hinted at the idea of Law having art classes when he was younger, so I thought it might be a cute idea that he had music lessons too! And considering his JP VA is good at singing, I thought it would be something that might be cool for this next chapter :)) Especially since Reader is a musician too and music is a key component of this fanfic, it would be a really cute way for them to bond.
His instrument would be...the ocarina!!🤍🤍✨✨✨
Tumblr media
Inspired from Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, I really like seeing Reader and Law's dynamic as Samekichi and Wadanohara. I've always had a really hard time seeing him with someone who's confident or cool. I never really vibed with the stubborn or teasing reader dynamic, considering how stubborn and cold he can be, too. I see that more as like a best friends dynamic, I suppose (I'm getting deja vu of saying this before lol)?
So I guess he could he called Lawdanohara lol!!🤍🤍🤍
I'm not sure what piece he would play for her. I've been thinking of maybe a song that's personal to him or something that reminds him of Reader. I feel like the latter would be overkill, but it would be slightly extra work to explain how the song is important to him if I chose the former option. So, we'll see.🌸🌸🌸
My idea is to have Law play her a song on his ocarina for her birthday and then teach one to her!! I'd like to incorporate "Sakura Iro No Yume"(Tzu-Shieh, Wen) from Deemo as their duet piece.
Tumblr media
It'll be slight foreshadowing to their teamwork in the future, I suppose. overall, this chapter is very important, but I also want it to be sentimental and sweet since it won the poll that everyone voted on!! 🌸🌸
Anyways, this chapter still has a big component to be added to it: artwork. I'm gonna try my best to stay light and to stick to sketches and doodles like the one shown above. I don't want to stress myself out too much with Quiescence 1 (darn you, you complicated, stubborn chapter).
Also, I'm not trying to be egotistical or anything with these updates btw!! I just really like writing and coming up with new ideas ._.!! This is new for me and it's super fun. I feel annoying sometimes when I make these lol. I'll try to do them less and less and stay humble for future uploads.
Still, I hope you guys will enjoy this chapter when it comes out!!🤍🤍🤍🌸🌸 :))
And thoughts on this idea are always welcome!! ✨✨✨

when you said you prefer bruce's kids not having relationships to each other, do you mean that you'd prefer even those who do have relationships to each other not to have them and for their perspectives to be explored that way, or you'd prefer that people stop trying to force relationships between those that don't have them?
not asking as a gotcha moment, i was just wondering because tim and dick for example are hard to say don't have a sibling relationship with dick calling him his brother ahead of the adoption and them actually spending time together, but what you said was really interesting especially with regards to none of them really knowing jason (including dick who met him like three times?) and also early cass and tim's relationship
tim and dick are complicated for me because 90s batman canon pre-nightwing (1996) doesn't really take seriously the gravitas of dick's problems when he returns to gotham. like he's waaaaaay too mentally sound for me in prodigal and that is a book i have rolled around in my head for a while constantly flip-flopping on how i feel about it but ultimately its dick characterization is so alien and part of it definitely has to do with how fair and dandy dick was when he first met tim which i presume the writers decided to just.. carry over? even though by the time prodigal came around dick's whole relationship and almost-marriage with kory had fallen apart and left him spiraling (to the extent that dick is capable of spiraling. obv we know he compartmentalizes where he's able). not to mention that i simply don't think dick would ever have taken the batman mantle from bruce merely because the latter wasn't "feeling" it at the time like he became nightwing for a reason yknow. and i wish if giving him the mantle was editorial mandate that it had at least been something dick visibly expressed discomfort with not because he doubted his own ability to be worthy of the mantle but because batman wasn't who he ever wanted to be. prodigal was essentially a very easy tongue-in-cheek comfort read to pass the time before bruce resumed the mantle and to me it should have been anything but. it should have been awkward and quiet and strained because dick had a thousand different emotional issues pinging around in his head that tim barely had the background information on to deal with and frankly he wasn't entitled to the details of that drama merely because he happened to wear the costume. obv tim is nosy and i'm sure he would have fished it out of dick in some capacity eventually but i don't think the boy scout vibes of the book would have been there. so i'm not entirely opposed to them feeling like brothers maybe somewhere down the line but i do want it to be harder for them to get to that point than the books portray it to be and in general i want any transition by dick into gotham to be almost suffocating for a while lol
i still (tragically. damningly) haven't read cass's batgirl but i do think the development of that closeness is at least a little more understandable because of how they operate in relation to bruce during the same time period. i'm not sure i want it to be a full out siblings thing because i don't care much for bruce adopting tim anyway—identity crisis and everything that happens in relation to tim after is meaningless overkill to me personally—but i like the idea of them being close friends. and yeah ultimately a lot of the crux of the issue comes down to jason. he's never going to be a sibling to any of these people and i honestly think it's fine like he doesn't have to be

Vriska board by aradia
explanation under cut:
Aradia neverrrr liked Vriska. From the very beginning, I think she saw vriska for exactly who she is and never liked what she saw. Be it goth girl psychic vibes or from the way she treated Tavros, whatever you think the reasons would be. Maybe she exaggerates Vriska's crimes, especially considering that murder is totally normal in their world but also Aradia had access to the specific ghosts that Vriska killed? Meaning im sure she got to know all the dirty details entailing each and every murder. Every misuse of power, every lie, any overkill, she'd hear about it all.

What Metal Bands They Listen To
Dad raised 2 metal heads so this is what my sister and I think the bro’s favorites would be 😊 CW: Have you ever listened to some of these bands? Literally every trigger warning imaginable (not in this fic really, but if you wanna look up the songs beware)
Lucifer
A good old-fashioned Slayer man
The songs really speak to him and unlike his classical records, they fuel his rage and he’s able to let go
Basically in the longest emo phase since the beginning of time (fuck you dad I’m my own demon)
I feel like his favorite song would be South of Heaven or Angel of Death
South of Heaven is self explanatory and I feel like he’d think the Angel of Death song was about him (it’s about Dr. Mengele)
Mammon
I feel like as far as standard metal, goes he’d love Overkill
Speed metal has the perfect energy for speeding down the highway in his Demonio 666 Lexura, screaming the lyrics all the way
He can’t choose a song because he loves the whole W.F.O. album
HOWEVER, I also feel like he’d be into Limp Bizkit
He’s a rap boy and if he can combine that with the energy metal has he’s all for it!
His favorite song by them is Rollin’ just because of the vibes and energy it has
Leviathan
BABYMETAL
No but really, he’s not really into anything that isn’t anime themed or something.
That being said, I feel like he’d eventually listen to Metallica or Disturbed because one of their songs is in one of his games
It’d start playing and he’d lose the game from being so distracted
It would definitely be more popular songs like Creeping Death by Metallica and Down With The Sickness by Disturbed
Satan
I could see him liking Cradle of Filth
Just completely 100% satanic band with high and low vocals and phenomenal music, he’d love it
He’d feel like he’s getting to know human culture more and how they see demons/his brothers and him
His favorite song would be The Smoke Of Her Burning because of how similar the lyrics are to describing him
Their music is also a stress reliever to him, he can indulge in the rage of others
Asmodeus
Asmo was a little hard for me but I’m thinking Korn
The vocals aren’t too deep most of the time and the way sings and distorts his voice would be very interesting to him
Their beats are also pretty steady so i could honestly see him clubbing to them
I think his favorite song would be Love Song or a classic like Freak On A Leash
A fair amount of higher singing voices but still major drops in the beat
Beelzebub
BEEL👏IS👏A👏DEMON👏
He's eaten both people and demons alive and it hasn't bothered him one bit
That being said, I think he'd like Cannibal Corpse
He can't always understand what they're saying but he loves that unrecognizable growl and the gore they sing about, though he does tend to stay away from their sexual songs (plz do not look them up if you'll be triggered by SA)
This band is definitely not for the faint of heart but it really pumps him up when he's working out especially if he tries to stay on beat with them
Belphegor
When Belphie listens to metal, he is A W A K E and most likely angry at someone/something
Pantera is his perfect kick ass, fuck you, I don't give a FUCK band
He got woken up by Satan trying some new bands out and, at first, craved violence (the lil menace😌)
But the music just seemed to fit so perfectly with his mood, when he got to Satan's room he just started spitballing questions about who that is
Instantly fell in love with the entire Cowboys From Hell album and does call himself a cowboy from hell

My read on Helaena and Aegon's marriage is that he's not abusive to her at in physical or verbal means at least. He just ignores her and leaves her alone almost all the time, but Helaena herself doesn't seem to be bothered about it in her speech, at least she appears she isn't. (Him being neglectful is more serious when it comes to his children though) I feel like unfortunately, it's highly likely that martial r*pe is involved, especially because Helaena was so insanely young when it happened and I don't think this was a marriage she particularly wanted. And when Helaena says he ignores her except when he's drunk kiiiiiiinda gives me vibes that these times "when he's drunk" is when he has sex with her. And she may or may not be a willing participant in that.
I personally think the reason why Aegon ignores her is because his marriage to her reminds him of his "duty and responsibility" that he hates to do, and the fact that he is simply not attracted to her like that, so the best way he can cope with it is to just ignore her as much as possible. It might explain how the way he can only "pay attention" to her is when he's drunk. So he's also an unwilling participant, but he's still... Going ahead with it, so it's still a very uncomfortable relationship, to say the least. But it's unclear exactly how Helaena feels about it or what exactly goes down in those moments, so it's hard to get a clear picture.
I kinda like the idea that Aegon and Helaena could have developed a genuine sibling bond if it weren't for their marriage, and now their relationship is always going to be tainted by that fact, and it's something they have to navigate around if they want to have any sort of bond. Which, based on their current interactions, maybe neither of them are ready to do. (or at least Aegon isn't)
I also have a mini theory that the reason why Aegon and Helaena were married before either of them turned 16 was because Viserys's health was rapidly deteriorating at that point and they wanted him to still be present for it, so it happened a lot sooner than maybe it could have been otherwise. I can buy Alicent betrothing them for political reasons, but I can't buy her easily allowing it to happen at the time when Helaena was even younger than Alicent herself was.
oh i definitely agree with your read on aegond and helaena's relationship. i think it's so messy.
i also would have wanted to see aegon in a closer sibling bond with helaena (or any and all of his siblings), but truth is in the show aegon is almost never seen showing genuine compassion or positive feelings for his siblings outside of aegon covering for both aemond and alicent when the eye incident happened. there's been A LOT of time jumps with nothing positive for aegon. i mean, not even his self awareness because that has been proved to be a very shallow self awareness.
i feel like the show failed in this regard with aegon because they've made him a very bad man but we have no aegon pov and he's seen to have almost no redeeming qualities which sorta borders on him being a one dimensional character. are there just bad people out there? sure, but i feel like portraying aegon this was is an overkill from the writers
the show also massively failed in giving us a proper helaena pov in season 1. we should have seen how she feels about a number of things, but we didn't.
