June of Doom, Day Eleven:

“We’re out of time” : firearm // backseat // self-defence

CW: intimate whumper, creepy whumper, invasion of privacy (explicit), captivity Whump, helplessness, blood (explicit), choking (explicit), implied past torture

*~*~*~*~*

Supervillain grinned at Hero as they shrugged off Henchmen’s hold on their arms and Henchmen let them. They were beaten, they knew that. Hero’s eyes drifted to Villain’s who was sweating, arms behind their back, head held up by Supervillain’s unforgiving grip on their hair.

“Okay,” said Hero. “Okay you win.”

Villain whimpered as Supervillain yanked their head up awakardly and Hero was lunging again. The Henchmen grabbed Hero’s arms and wrestled them back to submission and this time they didn’t let go. Hero struggled in their grip but didn’t get anywhere, just exhausting themselves in the struggle.

“Search them,” said Supervillain with a nod of their head and Other Villain stepped forward, eyes alight with malice.

“With pleasure.”

Hero wanted to get sick feeling Other Villain’s hands on them. They were slow, drawing it out like the psychopath they were. They brought their spider like fingers up to Hero’s mouth and when Hero protested they stuck their fingers in and Hero gagged as they searched Hero’s mouth for weapons.

Humiliation crawled pink up Hero’s neck and flooded their face with shame as Other Villain removed their fingers and wiped them on Hero’s shirt. A cruel smirk on their face as they said: “nope. No weapons there anyways.”

Hero spit on them. Then grinned as they watched the glob land straight in Other Villain’s eye. Other Villain recoiled and Hero suppressed a laugh. Then they suppressed a flinch as Other Villain’s face appeared in front of them again, filled with rage. Hero shrunk back as a hand grabbed their cheeks and pinched them together, panic clawing up their throat as they struggled in the Henchmen’s grip that didn’t let them go anywhere.

“Other Villain,” said Supervillain, stopping whatever Other Villain had planned as punishment for Hero. Other Villain’s face leaked of rage to dociled obedience as they turned to look over their shoulder at Supervillain. Their bruising grip still pinching Hero’s cheeks. “Hate to cut this short but we’re out of time. We don’t know if Hero’s team is coming. Let’s hurry this up. You can play with them later.”

Other Villain sighed but let go of Hero’s cheeks. Hero pulled their head back, eyes watching wary as Other Villain’s hands patted them down properly. They took Hero’s long daggers first from their sheathes and dropped them to the concrete with a clang. Then patted down Hero’s legs, pulling small knives and daggers from their hidden places and deposing of them with a litany of clanging sounds and blunt thuds.

“Alright,” said Other Villain standing to their full heigh again. “I think that’s everything.”

Hero secretly thanked whatever Gods of fortune were looking down on them that night. That Other Villain didn’t know about their final reserve. Their sticky situation blade that got them out of more than one awkward position in the hands of Villains.

“Good. Put them in the car,” Supervillain ordered. The Henchmen dragged Hero to the back of a black vehicle, handcuffing their hands behind their back and shoving them into the backseat. To Hero’s horror after they strapped Hero in with a seatbelt they clipped the handcuffs to another ring behind Hero.

As the henchmen shut Hero’s door, Hero pulled at their handcuffs trying with all their might to unclamp them from the seat but they were stuck. Well and truly stuck. They had to breathe. They had to breathe. Everything was fine. Everything was absolutely okay.

Villain was alive.

Villain was alive! And so was Hero. Together they wouldn’t be beaten. No matter what Supervillain had in store for them.

The other back door opened and Villain was strapped in the very same way as Hero. Though their body was spent. Blood and sweat causing their hair and clothes to stick to them uncomfortably and Hero’s heart broke as they looked at Villain.

“You shouldn’t have come,” Villain said before Hero could open their mouth. “I never wanted you to come. I didn’t want this. I could take the punishment for us both. Hero…”

Villain finally looked at them, tears building behind their eyes and their expression one of helpless anger. “Why didn’t you stay away?!”

“Villain… I…”

Supervillain got in Villain’s side and shut the door, sitting on the middle seat opposite Hero and Villain with a grin. Villain’s furious eyes died down as Supervillain shut the door and went back to the helpless, terrified ones when they bowed their head again in submission.

Hero tugged on the chain of their handcuffs again, just to do something and glared at Supervillain. The car started up but Hero couldn’t see where they were going. The windows blacked out from the inside.

“If it isn’t my two favourite troublemakers. Villain and I had lots of fun chats about you, Hero, and now that you’re here well let’s just say I feel as if I know you already.”

“Yeah. I know you too, Supervillain,” said Hero and Supervillain’s clever eyes snapped to Hero’s. Eager and at ease.

Good, Hero thought. At least their attention was off Villain for a minute.

“Do you?”

“Yes.”

“Well go on,” Supervillain said, sitting back in their seat and stretching their arms over either side of the backseats. “My ego has needed a boost recently, tell me about myself, Hero.”

“Let’s skip to the good part first, I feel like you like getting down to business.”

“I do,” Supervillain purred.

Hero flashed a grin. “Good. I know your first name is Ernest and your second name is Sha—“

Hero didn’t see Supervillain’s face morph from one of cheerful malice to threatening fury so the punch to the face that sent Hero’s head back against the seat was one of surprise. Supervillain had one hand on Hero’s throat, digging in against their windpipe cutting off all oxygen while the other kept Hero’s head straight so they could look Supervillain in the eyes.

Hero grinned smugly, while they turned purple from lack of oxygen. Blood dripping down their nose past their lips and chin, onto Supervillain’s hand, engulfing Hero in the stench of iron.

“Villain was right, you really do have a very punchable face,” Supervillain growled. The lack of oxygen was starting to get to Hero so they couldn’t exactly laugh in Supervillain’s face. Instead they raised their legs and tried to get leverage on Supervillain to get a good kick in but Supervillain’s legs blocked Hero’s. Black started to rise on the edges of Hero’s vision, and they struggled uselessly against the cuffs locked behind their back and In between the seat they were currently pinned to.

Oh god. Hero was going to die.

“Get off of them! Supervillain! SUPERVILLAIN PLEASE!”

Another rattle of chains that wasn’t Hero’s, their body going limp and lifeless under Supervillain. Feet kicking out useless…

Then Supervillain sat back opposite the pair and Hero bent double, throwing themselves forward to gasp in pathetic lungfuls of air, coughing at the excess and gasping in wheezes. Hero coughed, sucking in a breath as they righted themselves in the seat again. Their eyes on Supervillain as they got their breath back little by little.

“Gotcha,” Hero said. In a perfect world Hero’s voice would have come out deeper, sultrier, sexier and Villain would have fallen madly in love with them then and there, they would have kicked ass got free and run into the sunset.

However, it wasn’t the perfect world, and Hero’s voice barely came out above a raspy whisper. But they could still flash Supervillain their shit eating grin and enjoy the I-wanna-kill-you face Supervillain was throwing their way.

“I’ll admit Hero,” Supervillain began with a startled laugh, their hand running through their hair. “You surprised me. I haven’t heard that name in… years. I doubt even Villain knew it.”

“I’ve been doing some-“ a cough, then a wheezed: “research.”

“Colour me impressed, Hero. I was sure I buried that name.”

“Want me to continue?” Hero asked, their voice dry and hoarse. They wheezed out another cough into their shoulder, glad that oxygen was somewhat flowing through their nose again.

“No, no. Let’s not spoil all the fun. Though…” Supervillain said, voice taking on an edge of it’s own. Hero narrowed their eyes as Supervillain reached towards them and Hero pressed their back into the seat but Supervillain kept coming. Hero raised a knee and put it between them as a last ditch effort of self-defence but Supervillain batted it away with a coy smile. “Relax, Hero. I’m not going to strangle you again… yet. I just have a surprise for you of my own.”

Supervillain’s hand went to Hero’s throat again and Hero swallowed hard, forcing them to keep their eyes on Supervillain. Who’s hand trailed down Hero’s neck past their collarbone and… fuck.

Fuck.

FUCK!

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Supervillain yanked the chain from Hero’s neck and pulled out the seemingly innocent locket. Hero jerked forwards, trying to take it back but their arms locked behind them and the seatbelt blocking them from going too far for their own safety, Hero could only watch as their last safety net was taken from them.

The fear set in cold when Supervillain flicked the trigger at the back of the locket and Hero’s engraved knife sprung to life, gleaming at Hero and reflecting back their own eyes.

“Gotcha,” said Supervillain and a pit started to form in the bottom of Hero’s stomach. Supervillain’s smile was sharp, their eyes drinking in Hero’s dawning panic and sat back against the backseat again. The car drove on in silence.

i think there is something to be said about queer subtext in glass animals songs almost always being likened to obscurity and murkiness throughout zaba vs explicit queer text being likened to the sun in helium as in…literally coming out into the light.

#i could write a whole essay about this like genuinely #my zaba masterdoc is like 50 pages long #if u don't understand dave's weird mumbling that's on you #because to me it's alllll connected #and not to overstep but dave has talked about gender and masculinity a lot and is very vague about his sexuality #so i hope this doesn't come off as invasive but when you look at his writing through this lens like...it's truly in the text #comparing tasting a man to the sun like what the fuck do you think that means #zaba is just more abstract and tbh big if true but i think its purposeful abstraction is a great expression of queerness #and a search for a primal truth and a hidden world that challenges your previous worldview #zaba #dreamland #glass animals #maya.txt

A birthday cake themed mew with a hat that looks like frosting and sprinkles on it and the mew is carrying a special gift, a tinier shiny mew

Y'know, I asked for All Out, and you certainly gave me an all out design! I went with Funfetti for the adorable b-day cake, because strangely despite NEVER having funfetti cake for my birthday, it seems to be the exact cake to represent birthdays.

And yes, the shiny is Extra Fluffy. Maybe the tiny baby is the Funfetti cake's kiddo? Who knows. I'll give this away soon to a random commenter, so if you want these two funky babies, be sure to comment!

Warning: I have some old cc. Some things, if you download them now, require batch fixes. Some things may even require manual fixing.

If you see something that you want to know about that's not on the list, send an ask. As of right now, everything not there should be from the game, but that could change. If it's build/buy, send an ask, because I'm trying to link significant things (in my opinion) that add to the story, but a lot of background things (while probably important) do fade into the background for me.

Also, the dress I can't find. If anyone knows where to get it, I'll link it if I can

Russia has fortified its front lines with anti-tank “dragon’s teeth”. Ukraine is practicing conducting extractions.

Three Weddings and an Alien Invasion Challenge

Your challenge is to write about three weddings post-series that all happen the same day, and only two of them go smoothly.

Requirements:

One of the happy couples is Mulder and Scully, and their children are naturally part of the wedding party – is baby Mulder still en utero, or the flower girl or ring bearer?

The other happy couple is either another X-Files character(s) and their significant other, or two original characters.

The unhappy couple, who will have their wedding interrupted by a literal alien invasion (no cheating!) is your least favorite character and their spouse-to-be. Dig them up from the grave if necessary, we’re sure you’ll offer a plausible reason they’re alive and marrying.

You can write this story as a comedy or a sci-fi thriller. It’s up to you if this is meant to be a farce or an epic invasion fic.

Please tag @mulderscreek when you post your story, submit your story or the link to it to [email protected], post here on our submissions Tumblr, or send me a message with a link to your fic on Tumblr to reblog.

Q: How much of your success was motivated by trying to do him proud?

PAUL McCARTNEY: Quite a lot of it. And I was certainly able to in his case. I wasn’t with my mom, unfortunately. She died before I sort of did anything. She never really got to see any success. Well, who says she didn’t? I like to think that [she did].

Q: You lost both your mom and Linda to breast cancer. What comes up for you when you think of that?

PAUL McCARTNEY: Yeah, terrible. When Linda was ill it triggered memories [of] my mom — I tried to put it in the back of my mind because we were always hoping that [Linda] wouldn’t die. So I blanked ’em out. One particular one: My dad used to say to my mom when she’d get tired, “Why don’t you go upstairs and have 40 winks?” And you better believe I never said that to Linda. I’d say, “Do you want to nap?” I never used the expression “40 winks.” You get superstitious in those circumstances. So yeah, there were all too many echoes of it, really.

Interview for TV Guide, May 5th, 2001

#interviewers try not to ask paul extremely invasive questions challenge #Your mom and your wife both died young of breast cancer.

June of Doom, Day 1.2

“You don’t want to do that”

locked door// collapse // fear

CW: captivity whump/hero whump/power plays/violence/intimate whumper/creepy whumper/

I wrote two Day 1’s, no you’re not seeing things and no I’m not sorry

*~*~*~*~*

The villains dragged a half alive Hero through winding hallways, down stairs and finally stopped before a door. Hero barely had the energy to keep themselves up so they let themselves be dragged, not that they had a choice about it anyways. Not like they could fight off two Villains in their current state. Their boots were dragging against the floor as the door in front of them buzzed open and Hero was dragged in.

Their hands were cuffed in front of them with power dampeners, draining far more than their power. Their clarity, their energy all washing away draining to their wrists through clogging veins to make the disgusting cuffs work and keep Hero subdued.

“That will be all. Thank you, gentlemen.”

They dropped Hero in the middle of the room, Hero’s knees hitting the hard stone and slumping there. Useless and stupid. Rival was right. They should have never tried to take Supervillain down on their own, but Hero had to try. They had to try. Superhero was in hospital thanks to this arsehole.

And the worst part was that Rival was right. Supervillain was baiting Hero to come and fight, knowing Hero was emotional, knowing Hero would bite. God, Rival was insufferable enough as it is, when he finds out what Hero did…

Maybe it would be a bigger mercy if Supervillain were to kill them, than endure all the Told you so’s that would be waiting at home.

“You seem distant, Hero. Where’s all that ego now, hmm? That fight in you that delights me.”

Hero held up their cuffed wrists in reply. “I’m tired,” said Hero. “Take these off and we can dance if you like.”

Supervillain just laughed. Hero squinted into the darkness, trying to see the villain’s silhouette. The walls were bouncing off every noise it seemed and Hero couldn’t see Supervillain.

Maybe he wasn’t here.

Maybe that was a good thing.

A hand fisted in Hero’s hair and yanked their head back, craning their neck up to see Supervillain standing above them. A horrible smile painted onto his stupid mask. He kept pulling Hero’s head back and back until it was hard to breathe, but Hero just kept up his glare.

“You are adorable, aren’t you?” Supervillain purred, a bony finger trailing up Hero’s cheek, tracing their jawline and down to Hero’s throat. Hero swallowed in spite of themselves and looked away, Supervillain’s stare was too intense. Too intrusive.

Like he was trying to unearth every secret and lie Hero had ever told and use it against them. Supervillain let go of Hero’s hair and Hero’s head bobbed back straight, their neck sore from the stretch. Finely tailored suit trousers came to stand in front of Hero, before crouching down, a hand on Hero’s chin, tilting their head up to those horrible eyes.

“You must be a hugger,” Hero said, creeped out by how much touching this Supervillain seemed to be doing. Like they were inspecting a prized horse or something. Supervillain’s drawn on smile stayed the same. So it was a surprise when Hero’s head whipped to the side, the sound of a smack echoing off the reverberating walls.

Supervillain’s fingers were grabbing Hero’s chin again tilting their head up and back. Hero didn’t know what to do. They were just slapped. No one had ever slapped them, no one.

Punches? Obviously.

Kicks? Definitely.

Cuts? Too many.

But a slap? Like Hero was some bold child… it felt too… too personal.

“I’m not a fan of glib comments, Hero.”

“I wasn’t—“ another slap on the same cheek, except harder.

“Or back chat for that matter,” said Supervillain, moving to grab Hero’s face again but Hero pushed themselves back on their knees, falling back onto their honkers and away from Supervillain’s hand. Sluggish. Heavy. Not very far.

Supervillain straightened, standing tall and looming over the defenceless Hero and Hero wished they just listened to Rival for once and stayed home.

“You don’t want to do that, Hero,” said Supervillain, taking the whole step closer. That’s how far Hero got away. A single, short step and Supervillain was angry. Chastising. Tutting Hero as they flinched when Supervillain reached out again, putting their hands up in defence.

“Don’t fucking touch me!” Hero hissed, which only served in getting another slap and Hero let out a small helpless cry. Supervillain grabbed the chain between the handcuffs and yanked Hero up so they were standing.

“I’ll do what I like to you, Hero. You need to learn your place here. You’ll be here for a long enough time so we might as well get along, hmm?”

A heavy weight pressed down on Hero’s chest at the threat, said so softly. It felt like a hand was gripping Hero’s heart and squeezing it hard. So Hero did what any frightened animal does when backed into a corner. Hero bit supervillain’s hand holding their handcuffs and shoved hard with all their strength, running for the door they came through.

They had to go. They had to leave. They didn’t want to stay here with Supervillain. Please.

Hero slammed their hand on the button of the door like the other Villain’s did and when it didn’t work they cursed and punched the button again and again. “Come on!”

They tried to pry the doors open with their fingers but they wouldn’t budge and Hero screamed their frustration. “Fuck!”

A hand in the back of their collar and Hero was yanked back and thrown to the ground. They rolled with the force of it, before landing on their side, handcuffed hands in front of them. They breathed heavy and deep, trying to calm themselves as Supervillain strolled over. A swift kick to the ribs, followed by another to the face and Hero was thrown onto their back with the force of it.
