So, in previous posts, I mentioned that Marco and Thatch found a baby in a storm… but don't get me wrong, they're stupid enough to adopt a kid off the streets accidentally.

Obviously, in the new world and on the grand line, there are some not-so-great families/ pirates, so I don't think it's out of the question if a female crew member gets pregnant on a ship for them to, perhaps, dump their unwanted child on a random island and expect them to die or smth

And if the island had a town, then they’d most likely be living on the streets since it’s just another mouth to feed, and no one wants to put a strain on their already delicately crafted lives

But moving on from the sad stuff

Imagine if a toddler reader, just hungry and wanting some clothes for the winter, notices a new ship in the port and tries to steal some food and clothes

And, of course, a lil bby can't really steal too well, either falling into a barrel or easily getting caught by the crew…

Lucky for you, the white beard pirates have a soft spot for kids :D

God, just imagining thatch holding up this scrappy little baby, probably crying big fat tears from getting in trouble, up to white beard being like, ‘So what are we doing with this?’

And white beards’ parental instincts immediately kick in.

So yeah new little sibling :D’

I headcanon Ace as being the previously youngest crew member… so when i tell you he was SO happy someone else was now the ‘baby’ of the family it's insane

Would absolutely pick on you for everything, your age? Lil bby. Your height? Short stack. Hell you could drop a fruit on the floor on accident and ace will make fun of it

But even if he’s a little mean at times he’ll absolutely adore a younger sibling.

Like i imagine that he’ll look at you as kind of away to make up for some of the mean things he did to Luffy when they were young, and to make up for Sabo’s absence, so he’ll be the most defensive on your behalf if someone other than him starts picking on you

but on a little angstier note, that doesn't mean that Ace warmed up to you in the beginning

you were found by the crew shortly after ace was forced joined, and he was still in his lil emo era of hating everything and everyone

So while you were blossoming with all the love and affection your new family was giving you, Ace refused to see you, or any other whitebeard pirates, as his family.

you were probably one of the only reasons why Ace warmed up to the whitebeard pirates, and became so fiercely loyal to them to begin with though

but it was a slow process, and you probably got hurt a bit trying to befriend ace (kinda like luffy in the beginning((i may make a fic of this)))

but once he did warm up to you, and accepted his role as white beard pirate, oh boy!!!!!

will absolutely take care of you and try to mend any damage he did while he was pushing you away, big warm cuddle pile with lots of soft apologize and pinky promises will always be the antidote

also, i dont really need to mention this but ace is warm!! so if reader is still a baby baby, then alot of times when ace was available he’d be incharge of calming you down, since his hold was basically like a big warm blanket that would put you right to sleep

A/n: sorry this is super short, my brain is running on fumes but im still trying to crank out my own artistic stuff inbetween college work, and also trying to get a business and help my room mates animation studio get off the ground

but if you enjoyed this feel free to reblog and comment! i love reading comments!

also my requests are open!

You’re the outsider: a fancy New York doctor, fresh out of a failed engagement, with zero primary care experience. You’re also the new town doctor, taking over for a recent retiree who was beloved. His son, Bob Floyd, is the other physician at the practice, and takes an immediate dislike to you. But you were looking for a fresh start, and Willow doesn’t seem all that bad if you can get past the fact that there's only one restaurant in town. It helps that you've caught the eye of Bradley Bradshaw, the town attorney, despite the fact that you vowed to take a break from dating. How long until you start to make friends in a town where social circles have been set in stone since elementary school? And what will it take to make Bob Floyd see you’re not as bad as he wants to believe you are?

Bob never thought that Haley would remember the marriage pact the two made when they were just kids, even if he never forgot. So what happens when Bob falls all over again for his childhood crush?

jjk chapter 253 spoilers under the cut !!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS CHAPTER…….. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 one of my favs in a while i think IT WAS SO SO GOODDDDDD

FIRST OF ALL. GOJO CRUMBS 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺😞😞😞😞😞 I CRIED I SOBBED I STARTED WRITHING ON THE FLOOR IN AGONY……. OUR SWEETIE………

HE’S SOOOO CUTE…. :(((( blindfolded gojo is my favorite ever he’s SO baby…….. i miss him sm it hurts i almost teared up seeing this panel that isn’t normal human behavior 😔😔 ”don’tcha think?” SIR PLS STOPPP…….. :((((( silly little goose…… i need to kiss him all over his pretty face just to hear him giggle (doctors surround me w syringes from all sides)

ok but gojo aside (come home baby the cats miss u 💔) MAKI????????? MY GODDESS?? i ADORE the fight between her and sukuna …. she looks completely feral i’m so enamored <333 wild raccoon coded <3333

and also…… the dynamic between these two……. 😵‍💫😵‍��� maki being the only one since gojo who sukuna seems to be taking seriously/having genuine fun with???? (all the parallels between maki and gojo have been KILLING me i’m so glad akutami agrees w me that she’s his daughter ever <3) LIKE THAT’S SOOO SICK??? maki nation getting fed silly rn

”at its core, sorcery is all skin and flesh (…) that body of yours is all marrow and bone” BANGER ASS LINE EXCUSE ME??????????? AKUTAMI??????

but it’s also soooooo interesting isn’t it….. sukuna has always had a very specific view of sorcery and how it should be, and maki’s very existence completely goes against that ideal while simultaneously acting as a genuine threat to him… i think it’s so . insanely cool that he essentially views her as an alternative to sorcery?? and it forces him to revert back to the sorcery that he favours, just to prove that it’s superior (which is why he uses black flash for the first time!! at least that’s my read of it rn)…. IT’S JUST SO GOODDDD I’M EATING IT UP‼️‼️‼️

also sidenote kinda but but but . the sukuna theories…. abt him eating his twin……… if those are true then the sukuna/maki parallels are even MORE insane bc she had to sacrifice her own twin for the sake of survival/power but would undoubtedly choose mai over her newfound strenght every single time :(( while sukuna willingly chose strenght over companionship….. yeahhhh they make me ill

what else is there to say ……. kusakabe was there. PHDJDHDJF NO BUT WDYMMMM HE’S THE STRONGEST GRADE 1 SORCERER…… SINCE WHEN 😭😭😭 ??????

jokes aside i think it makes sense considering kusakabe just so happens to Know abt a bunch of stuff he shouldn’t know abt + somehow keeps surviving ???? but i still think it’s so funny how everyone is hyping him up while he’s like . I Am Not The Strongest 💀💀 he’s so funny actually…..

….. this is smth my fuckass brother said that unfortunately made a lot of sense + made me go completely insane but. maybe the reason kusakabe keeps trying to run away is bc he wants to stay alive for his sister….. :((( bc he needs to take care of her/doesn’t want to die and leave her alone the way her son did. sob. T_T that would be kind of a genius move on akutami’s part bc it changes his comedic moments to very heartwarming ones…. i’m actually rlly excited to see where this fight goes wahhhh

anyway back to gojo .

HE’S LITERALLY SOOOO BABY I CAN’T STAND HIM …. 🥺🥺🥺🥺 i don’t think akutami will ever truly understand how perfect this design is . like. there isn’t a single other character who perfectly manages to strike the balance between cute and handsome the way blindfolded gojo does . i’m sorry but it’s true. this is what the ideal male form looks like

#anyway that’s all!! PHEWWWW feels nice to get the post chapter euphoria off my chest …. #THIS CHAPTER SLAPPEDDD it reminded me a bit of older shibuya chapters actually :3 #w the interview scene in the beginning and all too !!! #i think i mentally tapped out when yuuta was fighting (sorry yuuta nation 💔💔 unfortunately he killed my wife) but now i’m back ‼️‼️ #i hope maki comes back into the battle tho…. she deserves a lot more than just one chapter smh #forever cradling this gojo panel to my chest #ari noises ✩ #jjk leaks #jjk manga spoilers #jjk 253

Dude I shit you not your Legato relationship imagines post had me tearing the fuck up.

Only if you're comfortable doing so, but could I request some relationship imagines with an s/o who has similar past trauma and struggles with panic attacks? I repeat, only if you're comfortable doing so 😵

A/N: I'm so willing to have the panic attacks necessary to write this one. I imagine myself having a similar relationship with Legato when it comes to intimacy. Guess I have a lot to say about him xD

One Step at A Time

Legato x also traumatized!reader

You and Legato had been together for well over a year, and there was no denying the heart fluttering adoration the two of you shared for each other.

Legato wasn't always very vocal or over the top with his acts of love. It was little things like, getting you a snack on his way home, a gentle kiss on the forehead before bed, or laying his hand on yours while you sit in each other's company. Little things that you knew were his way of showing his love.

Acts of service and praising words were Legato's forté. He praised every moment, no matter how small. He praised you when you managed to eat your meal, no matter how childish, or bland. He praised you when you did something to take care of yourself. Showering, clipping your fingernails, asking for a second to breathe, letting him know you were anxious before a full blown panic attack settled in, anything really.

He was also on the ball in subjects such as readying your shower water and items, clearing the kitchen counter before you did the dishes, changing the laundry over from the washer to dryer, and making the grocery list before the two of you went shopping.

His attentiveness often inspired you to make sure his needs were being met as well. Although you couldn't always provide acts of service, you made sure to thank him for his hard work, and made sure he knew how much you appreciated him. The two of you always made sure the other knew how much they were loved, wanted, and accepted for everything they were…. Especially the inflicted wounds given to you both from the tribulations of your pasts.

You had confided in Legato, your past with people who were not kind to you. Afterwords, he told his story to you, thus creating an even stronger bond between you.

Intimacy was rough for the both of you. Physical touch being the hardest. He went to rest his arm around you for the first time, and his hand landed on just the wrong spot, sending you into a panic attack. He was quick to help you out of it, apologies and calming words flowing from his mouth like a symphony. He seemed to know almost immediately what would calm you down, simply from how observant he was over the past year.

He snatched up your favorite comfort food, water, and tissues. He communicated well on whether you wanted to be held or not. He waited patiently for you to be able to speak again, and for you to calm down enough to talk about your thought process within your trigger.

Once learning that the spot he'd grazed was one that was quite a heavy topic, he immediately apologized, and thanked you for telling him. Since then, he warmed you if he needed to touch that spot for any reason, which was seldom ever. The only case was a stray hair or a crumb of food.

The two of you made a list of sorts. Things that could trigger each other, and the best methods for pulling you both from your panicked states. You keep this list hidden, tucked under your mattress.

You and Legato occasionally had experimental nights in, but these were not typically spent making out or touching each other. These nights, you two would sit with your shirts off, or wearing minimal clothing, just doing normal things, all the windows closed, curtains drawn. You'd watch a movie, finish that load of laundry, or make dinner. It was only when the two of you went to sleep next to each other that night, each cocooned on your own soft fluffy blankets, that the two of you would share a kiss. Soft, gentle, and praising each other for how well the other did.

The two of you spoke often of How the two of you would interact intimately together, in preparation, and anticipation, for the day the two of you could even possibly be physically intimate. On the rare occasion that the both of you were in a positive headspace, the two of you laid, fully clothed, in a few basic sex positions. Not moving. Not touching. Not kissing. Purely keeping eye contact (where applicable), and just… talking. About your day, about house chores, about music or something that wasn't the vulnerable position the two of you were in.

Sometimes this was something done on the couch while watching a movie. If you both made it through the whole movie, without an anxiety or panic attack, you and Legato would go on a date to your favorite fancy sit down restaurant. The two of you would split a bottle of wine or some other fancy drink, and each have your favorite meal together.

If things end in panic attacks, love and aftercare is given, snacks are retrieved, and the experience is talked about. The two of you relax with a comfort show or movie to help you calm down from the experience. Neither of you let the experience be anything that stands between you, but rather an obstacle to be fought together.

That just means that someday, if… no, when the two of you can be tangled in each other, making sweet love til sunrise, you know the struggles will all have been worth it.

I’d read a whole ass book about you talking about Ulfric in both your canon and fanon version. He had a lot of potential as a character in the game but the end result felt like the writers put two hours of thoughts into his character but it was 90% plot related and everything related to his personality was squeezed into the rest of the 10%. I could literally live in his walls while playing and I still don’t get a good enough look into his mind. I had to feed off crumbs given to me through the civil war questline and his conversations with Galmar (also for some reason I was able to sleep in his bed after I was done with that questline which was odd but oh well) you can barely have a conversation with him about HIM. And one could go through a play through and completely miss a lot of details about his life with no problem at all. Like come on he could’ve at least had a journal in his bed table or something, how come a random fucking miner deep within an old cave gets one and he doesn’t. I coped with how “put together” he seems from the outside with assuming that he’s the type to bottle it all up and only allows that side of him to show when he’s alone with Galmar (again we could’ve had more dialogue with just the two of them) with him turning into a completely different man behind closed doors and resembling nothing to the cold hardy leader he appears to be sitting in his throne. But even with all of that we still got way too little content of him considered what we’re told he’s gone through.

But yeah anyways, I enjoy it every time you talk about your interpretation of him, I could spend hours just reading about it I ain’t even exaggerating *autism*. And I’d love to also hear more about your fanon depiction of him. These two versions might seem separate yet they feel so intertwined as if one is in a higher spiritual level. I dunno which one’s which.

So yeah keep being the amazing artist that you are.

THANK YOU LOOOL 💗 Yes literally my princess is so isolated in his own mind that he doesn't even write his thoughts down everywhere (he's afraid the th*lmor agents that are hiding in his closet will read his diary and relay everything to el*nwen) he has no good coping mechanisms. we will never know how he's feeling because the only times he talks about it is when he's bathing with galmar or something (it's too ecchi we can't be seeing or hearing none of that) or when he's really exhausted after an insanely long day, collapsing into his arms and starting to cry saying he's s//icidal, and before galmar can even say anything ulfric is like (Slicks hair back again and rubs off the snot and tears) "actually nvm i'm good"

they gave us the two crumbs of him seeming a bit like a paranoiac in 2 lines and then that one fruity af conversation between him and galmar and thought it's enough to keep us fed. and it is. And it is. (my bones sticking out) i will flip them turn them and make a pancake

if i was president ulfric would be would always be looking @ U sideways && like he's about to deck you in the mouth; unlikable, unapproachable, nasty, horrid, paranoid;... the list goes on

+ i love the tidbit of t*rygg actually admiring ulfric it's so funny to me. Don't try to befriend a traumatized war veteran guys now t*rygg is up there singing in talos' choir. he killed him for all of the reasons listed in canon but also because he hates seeing people be happy especially elves (el*sif). Shut up brainless, th*lmor-tainted... woman, DISHWASHER, get ready to be triggered by loud sounds for the rest of your life like me when i hear the clacking of heels

#ask #also i think ulfric just doesn't see his relationship with galmar as romantic since he's all he has it's like Super Mix #he just knows it's weird a little bit but it's ok cause he'll never find a wife (he's repulsed by women because of el*nwen) #(everyone say thank you el*nwen) #galmar calling him 'my lord' in that one convo still makes me kyaa

Whumptober Day 3: Isolation

AO3 link here.

---

“Alright, what are guys planning?” Wild called out, lying on his back with his feet propped up on the wall.

Three days ago they had Shifted times, and ‘wrong place, wrong time’ had him alone and surrounded by dozens of Yiga. He would say that he put up a good fight, but there had just been too many. He had no weapons, no Sheikah Slate (Wind had been messing with it right before the Switch), and the location left him with no viable escape routes. They’d grabbed him, transported him back to their base, and then thrown him in a little cell that was hardly longer than he was tall. Since then, they’d dropped off stale bread and water in a tin cup twice a day, but had done nothing else.

Three days of exploring every nook and cranny of the cell, looking for any weak spots. He’d been waiting for someone to do something: His friends to come and break him out, some enemy he’d pissed off to make him ‘suffer for what he’s done,’ or even for some low-ranking guard to come and taunt him.

Nothing. No one. He’s been alone.

For three days.

By himself.

Wild was getting kind of lonely.

---

Five days now.

Wild’s been using his water to ‘draw’ on the walls. Something. Anything. Just to change the view for a moment. He’s been seeing how many crumbs he can break the bread into. Spoiler- It’s a lot.

He’s been practicing the two section braid Four showed him.

When he’s tired, he tries to add another verse to the sea shanty Wind taught. He’s added eleven verses so far.

And his personal favorite- Trying to do things that would earn him Time’s look. Backflips off the wall and onto the opposite one, seeing how long he can handstand before passing out, and seeing how much of his arm he fit in between the bars before he couldn’t feel his fingers. He was bored.

And man, he was missing Zelda.

---

How long has he been here? Eight days? Nine? He doesn’t have a window. It’d be too easy to escape. He misses the sun. What did they want with him?

---

“I’m sorry."

"I’m sorry."

"I’m sorry.” With each repetition, he knocked his head against the wall.

The knees of his trousers were torn from all his acrobatics, his hair was matted from giving up taking care of it (Wars would have a fit), and he’d started picking his tunic apart, string by string. It was only his Hylian tunic, but all the colors gave him some entertainment as he watched it unravel.

He hated self reflection. He knew what he had done wrong. How he’d failed. Every time they stopped at an inn, he could see the face of failure stare back at him. Four never questioned the reason why he covered up the mirrors.

If only he’d been faster. Stronger. More worthy. If only he had been enough.

All of his old friends were dead. Urbosa. Daruk. Revali.

Mipha…

He thinks he understands now. But it was late to matter.

He was always too late.

“I’m sorry.” He left his head to rest on the wall, stupid tears blurred his vision. “Can you forgive…?”

No one answered him.

---

“Please... help me.”

everyone talks about little robin+little steve duo but what about little robin and little eddie!?

they would constantly compare who has the best caregiver which would end in tears(usually eddie since he’s smaller) and nance and steve would have to tell them they’re both good:>

always getting into something whether it be the cookie jar robin’s set on opening or the baby powder eddie found in the bathroom(he may or may not came downstairs with white hair that he swore to god was snow) (>▽<)

robin and eddie are always getting told off because robin really enjoys chewing on her sleeves and eddie really likes his hair in his mouth but they still do it anyways because they know they run the house when they’re little o(*≧▽≦)ツ

when they’re napping instead of pillows they use each other and sleep in the most awkward positions(steve once walked in on them sleeping on the floor, all scrambled together with no blankets, just stuffies)

robin taught eddie how to master the puppy dog eyes because steve is weak to them:) now eddie has way too many band tees and a lot of stuffies in his room

i feel like eddie has a weak immune system and when he’s too under the weather to play robin will practically drag nancy to steve’s house so she can be “the bestest nurse ever” and make him feel better（´v｀）

robin plays with eddie’s hair while he rambles on and on about dnd:>

i hc that robin has a shellfish allergy and she came over while he and steve were eating shrimp and he felt bad so he made her a peanut butter sandwich so she wouldn’t feel left out<3

robin and eddie play in the family video break room when she’s having a bad day

thanks for listening *bows*

Oh. My. GOD. BEST THING TO WAKE UP TO THANK YOU SO BERY MUCH (≧∇≦)/

🍦🎸 HDVAHDHSHS AWWWW o(TヘTo) くぅ they're going back & forth comparing difference (& lowkey miniscule things) about their cgs & robin sassily goes "well nancy gets me ice cream aaaaall the time!" — she got her ice cream three times that week, each for a different reason — which gets eddie rlly sad bc :(( he likes ice cream too :(( steve hasn't gotten him ice cream in a while :(( & he just bursts into tears 😭 now nancy has gotta tell him how many times robin actually gets ice cream usually, why she got so much in particular that week, & steve's promising to take him out to get ice cream tomorrow

🍦🎸 HELROWJEEELDO the cookie jar & baby powder incident happened in the same day at the same time. nance & steve leave them to their own devices for one second for WHATEVER reason, & they come back to see cookie crumbs on robin's cheeks ("i thought i hid that!") & baby powder sprinkled all over the bathroom ("there's no way you thought that was snow little bud, we use that powder for you!") and all they do is giggle

🍦🎸 u got that right, they definitely run that house (๑˃̵　ᴗ　˂̵)و they try giving them little chewlery toys & a few pacis, but they aaalllways gravitate to their sleeves & hair again. sometimes eddie will literally spit his paci out as soon as it hits his mouth & goes right back to chewing his hair. nance & steve lowkey find that super disgusting & if ANYTHING, they prefer him sucking his thumb ... but this is eddie munson we're talking about, ofc he chews his hair instead of sucking his thumb!! 💀

🍦🎸 that's the cutest thing ever what the heeeeck ≧﹏≦ in most cases it starts with eddie laying curled up next to robin while she kinda has him in a gentle yet protective hold ... then about 15 minutes go by, nancy goes to check on them, & they're SPRAWLED out on the bed. blanket is gone, their stuffies are all over them, they're all over each other — like robin has her leg on eddie's tummy, but eddie's hand is covering her face while his stuffed dragon is laying across his forehead & robin's swift heart teddy is clutched in her arms. nancy just shakes her head in that fond parent manner & recloses the door: "they're even a mess in their sleep."

🍦🎸 YEEEESSSS bc robin has the puppy dog eyes down PAT & eddie is rlly curious as to how she makes steve cave in so easily to her getting an extra cookie after lunchtime!! so she pulls him aside, makes sure nobody is listening, & tells him all about her weapon; the puppy dog eyes. after a bit of training, eddie runs to steve for a bit of "practice", as robin called it, & asks for a new metallica t-shirt! steve goes "eddie, you have like 60 of them...?" & BAM. puppy dog eyes in action. steve KNOWS what's happening & he KNOWS who taught him such ways, so he's able to stand up to it ... for about 35 seconds b4 he caves in: "we can go shopping for it later today, buddy..."

🍦🎸 WAAAAAAA ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡ eddie hates how easy it is for him to get sick in general, but being sick while he's regressed is simply horrible! but with robin & nancy being there ... eddie will need a water & robin falls off the bed going to get it for him. he'll want his bat stuffie so robin catapults in its direction to retrieve it. not once does steve ever rlly need to move eddie from his arms to get something & nancy doesn't even get a chance to lift a finger bc robin is ON it!! she'll use igor & firestarter (the names of ed's bat stuffie & dragon stuffie) to put on plushie stories for him, she'll cut on the tv to find a nice movie ... eddie doesn't like being sick, but with robin, steve, & nancy? it's a little more bearable (*´˘`*)♡

🍦🎸 (((o(♡´▽`♡)o))) steve helps eddie with the pb&j sandwich (after they washed their hands, ofc ;~]) & even tho robin wasn't small at the moment & rlly wasn't bothered by them eating shrimp w/o her, she couldn't say no to eddie going "don't wan you to be lef out :((", gratefully took the sandwich & ate it .. & holy heck was that sandwich good askkdkajs

🍦🎸 i feel like they have an emergency set of toys back there if either one of them feels down in the dumps & needs a moment to regress. steve always notices when she's upset – whether it's abt something else or it's just been a grueling few hours – & sends her in the break room, even if there are customers still coming & going. eddie swings by (like usual), & he's like "is robin not here today?" so steve also sends him to the back & voila; there she is, playing with their toys. eddie ofc joins her so that way she won't be lonely, & later on when steve gets the chance, he goes in the back to see them giggling while they play ... some kind of game he doesn't understand, & doesn't rlly think he ever will bc the rules are ever changing. really, he's just glad robin is feeling better˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙

🍦🎸 ^^ eddie will also swing by family video if he's not feeling too good himself. he'll come by, & robin n steve can see it all over his face, so robin brings him to the break room so she can work on making him feel more like himself :~]

[x0401x]

Hey there! Since you've already finished vol. 3 of the Tsurune novel, are there any more quality Kaito/Seiya scenes?

Hiii! First of all, thank you for the ask. This was really fun to write. Second of all, I’m really sorry for taking so long to reply! It was super hard finding the time to finish it.

Now, to answer your question, there are indeed quite a few quality scenes of them in this volume, but more than scenes, I’d say there are lots of quality facts about their relationship. See, this volume speeds up the pace a lot and there are many characters being handled at once, so the focus often shifts all too suddenly from one scene to the other. Rather than getting actual moments of them, most of what we get is facts about the characters and their relationships. But in my opinion, they’re equally as delicious.

That being said, here comes the wall of text, lol.

First and foremost, I must make clear that throughout the whole volume, aside from the juicier stuff, we do get the usual interactions between these two. Seiya telling dad jokes and Kaito wanting to rip his own eardrums out, Kaito making fun of Seiya’s naming sense and pretending he didn’t say anything when Seiya asks what he means, the two of them mentioning each other in completely unrelated topics for no apparent reason, etc. The crumbs are just as yummy as the meals, I’d say.

One particular crumb that I love is the fact that Seiya is trying for individual competitions this year. We can check that one off our wishlists now, lol.

The first scene we get of them is actually a MasaMina scene that they take part in as kind of a bonus. The whole thing is fucking ridiculous and resembles a lot the boar scene from volume 2. Yeah, that one where Masaki protects Minato while Kaito protects Seiya and the whole thing just feels like some bullshit straight out of a cliché shoujo manga except with a bunch of guys. It also reminded me of the festival scene between Minato and Ren, where it starts out with Ren being hostile towards Minato and making clear that he doesn’t think Minato is good company for Masaki for various reasons, yet it ends with Ren asking Minato to “take care of Masaki”, showing that he resigns to the fact that Masaki isn’t gonna leave these kids ever. Still, though, this one MasaMina scene is even more ludicrous than the two that I just mentioned, and to contextualize the KaiSei bit that comes afterwards, I’ll have to explain it first.

What happens is that Kazemai is doing the yawatashi no gi at the Yata Shrine, just like the previous year, and Masaki and Minato go to the back to get kimonos. Minato had been feeling frustrated for some time now about Masaki avoiding him, which becomes even more obvious from the way that Masaki is walking so much faster ahead of him without looking back as Minato struggles to keep up. Minato asks to talk and Masaki brushes him off, telling him to save it for later. Minato then grabs his arm, which seems to be yet another parallel, specifically with that scene in Masaki’s car where Masaki isn’t looking at him, and Minato wants to grab his arm and brush his bangs away so that he can look at him in the eye, but holds back from doing it. Yeah, this time, he does it, but Masaki covers his eyes and asks Minato to please not give him “that look”.

When Minato asks Masaki what he means, he says he sometimes really wants to rub Minato’s head like he used to, but he “can’t let other people see that”. ‘Cause this choice of words totally sounds like what it should sound like. The actual context here is that the first-years of Kazemai have started complaining about the fact that Masaki is much closer to the second-years, especially Minato, so he’d been avoiding Minato and holding back from physical contact. What bothers Minato the most about this is the lack of eye contact, though. Yeah, his obsession with Masaki’s eyes is even worse in this book, if that was even possible. And that’s why these words bring Minato to the verge of tears. When he’s about to break down, his grandparents show up.

Yeah, his fucking grandparents. They literally just invade the back of the dojo out of nowhere. Minato’s grandfather, seeing him teary-eyed and all, starts accusing Masaki of being a terrible coach because “he’s forcing kids do club activities on an off day”. Minato tries to explain the misunderstanding, saying the club members were the ones who came up with the idea and making clear that this had nothing to do with his crying at all, but completely avoids explaining why the fuck he was crying in the first place, and his grandparents don’t seem to give much of a shit anyway. Speaking of explanation, Minato’s grandmother starts explaining to Masaki about the circumstances after the car accident that killed Minato’s mother and why they grew distant from that side of the family afterwards. This was completely unprompted and the flow of the conversation is, yes, “smooth as a jungle river” but Masaki rolls with it from behind Minato, putting an arm on his shoulder.

Minato’s grandparents take their leave, but not before asking Masaki the exact same thing that Ren had asked Minato in volume 2, except a tad more dramatic: “Please take care of him for as long as possible”. This “as long as possible” is actually just paraphrasing because the actual line was much heavier and wouldn’t fit. When people say “for as long as possible” using this specific term that Minato’s grandma used (末永く), they usually mean “forever”, “for eternity”. A bit too much to ask from a mere coach, let alone one that they just fucking met a minute ago, but this is the whole goddamn point, isn’t it, Ayano.

This is where Kaito and Seiya come in. They were, in fact, watching the whole thing unfold from behind a tree. No, not the whole club. Just the two of them. It’s not specified from what moment they caught the scene happening or if they heard anything that was said, but seem to know that all ended well. Kaito asks how Seiya knew that Minato’s grandparents would be coming and he explains that they’d gone to his house to greet his parents. Kaito then says Seiya should’ve said that earlier, so that he wouldn’t have had to worry. And then Seiya... apologizes. He actually fucking. Does that. It might be my memory failing me, but I don’t think I recall seeing him say “I’m sorry” before this scene. He says it so honestly that it catches Kaito off-guard, to the point he freezes up on the spot.

This bit is really cute because it just enforces even more that, yeah, Kaito and Seiya are the parents of the club, and more importantly, they’re Minato’s parents. The way they watch over Minato and Masaki as if they’re a couple receiving the blessing of Minato’s grandparents is hysterical. I love that this is just so natural for both of them. I mean, I understand Seiya worrying about what might happen, but Kaito? Why the fuck would he? And why should Seiya not only be able to assume that he’d be worried but also give him information before-hand so that he wouldn’t have to worry? The whole thing just screams “married couple” on a megaphone.

In-between this scene and the next one is where we get the delicious one with the song greenleaves at the fair. Later on, the next KaiSei snack comes from Seiya’s house, where the five second-year boys are studying for exams. In the middle of that, they get a visit from Seiya’s older brother, who came to town. His name is Gaku and he’s a whole can of worms of his own, and amongst a lot of other stuff, we find out two things: one is that Seiya thinks his brother is a weirdo and doesn’t respect him at all; the other is that, in spite of his attitude, Seiya refers to him as “Onii-chan”. This has Kaito shook, lmfao. He’s even more surprised by this than by Gaku’s eccentric personality and looks. In fact, so was I. This scene was so calm and slice-of-life-ish, yet it was pure chaos at the same time. It’s what I call the Tsurune Style TM.

It is also from this scene that we get more delicious fucking food about Kaito and Seiya’s relationship. Whoever has been reading the novel since the first volume probably had zero doubt that Seiya would be a doctor when he grew up and that taking over his father’s clinic would be his first and only choice. However, here the kids are on their second year of high school, where they have to think of their career paths so that they can plan it up and follow it through in the third year, and Seiya vehemently rejects the idea of studying medicine. Why? Because he’d have to leave town for that and because he’d have to focus a lot more on studying, inevitably leaving archery to the side. Regardless, Gaku tries to convince him to reconsider and asks the boys to convince him too. Their parents support their decisions in regards to their professions, but Gaku insists that Seiya’s vocation is to be a doctor (and he isn’t wrong). By the way, Gaku is an entrepreneur and wants Nanao to work for his brand in the future as a male model and makes the proposal right then and there.

Once the brother leaves (like a storm, just like how he came in, as did Minato’s grandparents), Kaito is shaken again, by both of these things. Both mean Nanao and Seiya going away and even Minato can tell that he’s disturbed. And get this: Nanao actually asks him what he thinks of this. Not just his situation but also Seiya’s. Kaito says it’s their decision to make, acting like he’s got nothing to do with it even though he’s obviously restless. Nanao then asks Minato, and he replies, sincerely, that he respects Nanao and Seiya’s respective choices.

After everybody goes back home, the subject extends itself with Minato and Seiya on one side and Kaito and Nanao on the other. Minato seems 100% fine with anything that Nanao and Seiya decide, even though it might mean not being able to do archery with one or both of them in the next year. Meanwhile, he and Seiya are worried about Kaito, who insists to Nanao that this his and Seiya’s business and no one else can decide for them.

A while later, Nanao decides to turn down the model proposal, as his dream is to become a carpenter. Seiya, however, chooses to become a doctor and take over his father’s clinic, but asks his parents to let him prioritize archery in his third year even though he might become a ronin as a result. Just like with his brother, his parents fully support him.

What I find absurdly savory in this whole ordeal is that when there’s a risk that Seiya might not be there with them in the next year, the very first person whose opinion everybody wants to know isn’t Minato’s, it’s Kaito’s. And it’s not for no reason. He’s not only the one that’s most shaken, he’s also the one who’d miss Seiya the most and they all know it. Also, just like from the latter half of volume 1 onward, Seiya is with Kaito most of the time in this book. And it’s really neat that his input means a lot in the conversation. One more thing I love is Minato’s reaction, because it really shows how he’s willing to let anyone go no matter how much it might hurt, but not Masaki, whom he already made clear he won’t handle over to fate or death in volume 1 or to the gods themselves in this one. This scene really serves to show many aspects of the characters’ relationships and what they’re willing (or not) to give up, as well as how they handle that. It’s so subtle yet not subtle at all. Just *chef’s kiss* level. Keep feeding us, Ayano.

This is basically what we get from book 3, I think! My memory might be failing me a bit, so I’ll add more to this post if I happen to remember anything else. Again, sorry for the late reply and feel free to ask anything else!

blueycapsules Michael Afton x male reader

It had been a really tough day today. For someone who's had a lot of trauma and gets stressed easily to begin with, being pushed a little over the edge can be tough for Michael.

You walked in after work, naturally coming home later due to different jobs and different hours, wondering where he was. He's normally waiting somewhere within view for comfort, but this time he wasn't. You hang up your coat as you step into your shared apartment. "Mike? Mike, where are you?" The boy remained as silent as night, leaving you wondering where or what he's up to. Was he home yet? Did he go elsewhere before coming home? You decide to go look for him. You loved him and cared for him, after all. You call for him again, "Michael, darling? Where are you?" But there was still no response.

Suddenly, you hear something coming from down the short corridor containing the bedroom, bathroom and storage room. It was coming from the end, right where the bedroom is to be exact. You try to keep quiet as you make your way down the corridor. You reach the door, hesitating on wether to open it for some unknown reason. Mike's in there, why are you so scared? It's your boyfriend, you shouldn't be. Your hand rests onto the handle before trying to make your way into the room. However there's something blocking the door. You manage to open it enough to peek your head around to see what's going on. Funny enough, it was the source of the noise blocking the entrance. Mike. "Mike, honey, can you let me in please?" He shakes his head quickly but eventually he gives in and you walk inside and take your place next to him on the floor.

He's got tears running down his face. You instantly pull him into you and he starts sobbing into your shoulder. You remain patient with him until he calms down and tells you about why he was so worked up and upset. He put the blame on a really overwhelming and stressful group of kids he had to deal with today and left it at that. You cup his face into your hands and pull him closer to you as you kiss the places where the tears had been running down his face. You kept going until you got a positive reaction from him, and when you got that, you pulled him into a hug once more. You stayed there with him until he was ready to move on. You loved him, and to you, true love is the ability to help the people you are for the most, when they need it the most.

Hello!

About Gwynriel being the acotar6, how would the SJM interview question look where she says it's obvious who the next book will be and asked her friend Steph to read the extra chapter because she had crumbs.

For me it is very clear that the book will be by Azriel, what surprises me is that in the interview she said that she knew who the second would be, and mentions Elain's book.

She in another interview in 2021 who is interested in writing the stories of Elain, Mor and Azriel (in that same order).

I'd be surprised if acotar5 were Elain the lead (with Az or Lucien), as Azriel seems to get more hints as he was in Nesta's time. Much was said of Nesta's JOURNEY, Cassian was only mentioned as a reminder that he would have povs.

SJM didn't voice Elain, it only talks about Azriel and the Valkyries. It would be a big surprise if Acotar5 was Elucien or Elriel, if it's Elriel it's even worse because Elain would be the only Archeron that will depend on the hype of the romantic couple to happen.

Now an Elucien book would be much more interesting, because the two are on an equal footing. An Azriel book with Elain as a fixed POV would be very humiliating, since the man is the one who gains the hype, unlike Feyre and Nesta, who all wanted to read about their journeys.

SJM needs to bring Elain into the story, she is only mentioned in acosf to be overprotected by the IC and rejected in the extra.

I need Elain more to trust her on her journey. Lucien for example has a tiptoe waiting to have his story told alongside Elain. I don't believe Vassien, their energy is so friendly (like Cassian and Feyre).

Do you think that in CC3 we will have confirmation of the next couple to get married?

I don't think CC3 will give away the next ACOTAR pairing because a big reveal like that would be something SJM would want to announce on her IG.

And though I realize you're not alone in wanting more Elain before her story, I personally don't think it's something we're going to get (especially because if Gwynriel was next, we'd get even less Elain than what we had in ACOSF because she's got no real connection to either Gwyn or Az). But story wise, the reason we don't have a lot of Elain is because she's a mystery to everyone. The second they and we start understanding her more and the second she starts doing more with the IC, it tears down everything SJM was building up about Elain (and would then make her more relevant in the NC as SJM is telling us she doesn't belong there. Her being absent furthers the narrative that she's going to end up leaving).

As far as the "I thought it was obvious" comment, it's typical SJM evasivness as she's told us multiple times she's under contract with Bloomsbury and can't really give that information away before it's time. Not to mention she later said she hasn't even started the thing yet and can't guarantee ships until it's written. Now I don't think her endgame ships are going to change but she says a bunch of different things at different interviews that are contradictory.

In ACOWAR, we got a Lucien POV inside the book before Az was really the focus. She also spoke of the three sisters journey, that she had already done research for Elains book and that she knew who the first two would be about while leaving the third open. All those clues point to Elucien and we can't forget that just because a few years later she makes another evasive comment about "I thought it was obvious".

The Az POV heavily features Elain, Az and Gwyn so making the next book about any of those three means she can still say, "yeah! That's who I was talking about!" with the "I thought it was obvious" comment and still not be breaking her contract to Bloomsbury. And Yrene never received a POV chapter yet she received a main POV in TOD.

Elain and Nesta aren't super close and will probably never be so it makes sense she wasn't heavily featured in Nesta's book but that doesn't mean SJM didn't drop MAJOR hints about Elain's journey. Probably more than Az or Gwyn.

She mentioned Elain's stealth like behaviors which hints at new powers, she mentioned that Elain may have something else going on outside her gardening when Cassian thought she may not have been getting up early as she said, she showed Elain taking it upon herself to do more (when she offered to help with the Trove), she showed Elain finding her voice when she stood up to Nesta and returning Az's gift right away, we have Nesta wondering if Elain still wants to go to the continent (and specifically mentions the area Koschei is supposed to be), we have her mentioning how perfect Spring would be for someone like Elain, we have Lucien (Elain's Mate) being placed in both Spring and the continent where Koschei is, we have Nesta take the rose carving made by their father for Elain and placing it (first) next to a figurine of a Goddess though Nesta wasn't sure why she put it there then later placing it on their fathers gravestone as a marker of the beauty and good he’d tried to bring into the world, we have Feyre saying "let's help one sister before we help the other". Not to mention, how many more books can SJM drag out the Vassa needing to return to Koschei, Spring Court needing restored, and Lucien's unknown father storylines? Gwyn has an unknown grandfather of High Fae nobility but that is only one book back while the things Lucien and Vassa need to resolve are 2.5 books back. While there are definitely plot points she's laid out for Gwyn, she actually hints at exactly where Elain and Lucien are going to be in the future. Not to mention the hints of Lucien showing the markers of a High Lord.

In the end, SJM has set it up so the next book could be about anyone she wants it to be about because there's enough groundwork there. Regardless of the difference we have in order, I think we're in agreement it won't be E/riel!

[dreamswap-crackhead-council]

Wait show me the dreamswap dream thesis

I'm going to split this into two parts, the first one being "so Kai is an unbiased party when it came to making Dreamswap" and the second being "oh yeah this is DS Dream's character", since I got two asks about this and I want to show both of my sides when it came to how I feel about this character.

If I get seemingly angry in this ask, know this isn't directed at you anon (hence why I answered this ask with Part One bc the other person isn't anonymous and I don't want any misunderstandings), I'm more angry at the whole fiasco about the inner workings of how DS Dream came to be.

I just want to give you a little hint about how I feel about Kai's interpretation of OG Dream, because that is VITAL information to know before I tear everything to pieces.

Part One: Kai's interpretation of OG Dream's characterization is like corporate meddling at EA games, but there's not even a fun game at the end.

If you read their starcrossed fic and had at least a CRUMB of what Dream's character is like in Dreamtale, or be like me who actually talks to Joku at times or have a friend who talks to Joku a lot more then I do, you understand just how terrible this fic is. I just want to grab it, rip it up, and then rewrite it all. I won't, because that's disrespectful as fuck, but I could just see how it could be improved.

But it is painful to read, and it's all so wrong.

Dream is not bitter about trivial things like that. Sorrowful that his brother - his actual brother, not this goop-monster that spreads negativity - is gone? Yes! Does he let his feelings get pent up because he doesn't want others to feel bad? Also yes! But being bitter about Cross saying pineapple was better on pizza, while comedic, breaks character more then Dream wanting to fuck Cross. (Since he's canonly demipanromantic and asexual, though I don't think he's sex repulsed, just uninterested and also uneducated bc. y'know. 400+ years in stone. Wanted to throw that out there btw)

But if you know what Dream's character is like, at least an OUNCE of what he is like canonly, this so-called "Starcrossed" is more painful then a white girl who never encountered real spice in her life eating Carolina reaper sauce. I am NOT exaggerating, that fic is likely as painful as that. I could go into the nitty gritty and the nitpicky on that fic, but that's not what we're here for.

Dreamswap Dream is Kai's version of what he thinks OG Dream "should" be, without taking any account of what OG Dream ACTUALLY is.

Because, y'know, asshole OG Dream is sooooo much better then what he's actually like. It's like skinny dipping into a mud bath, but instead of mud it's just shit.

OG Dream doesn't swear, he can't read or write for shit, he clearly would NEVER murder his brother, and he even went vegetarian because he thinks life is sacred and wouldn't even have an animal in his meal (though dairy/eggs/all that would be still on the table because that can be harvested without hurting the animal), and he would never touch Nightmare's side of the tree.

DS Dream does swear (though mostly in alarm/surprise), he can clearly read or write because how else would he do paperwork, you tell me if he wants to murder his brother, he kills people like it's break time because they "spread negativity" so you tell me if he thinks life is sacred and shouldn't be ended, and what do you think the apple incident in Dreamswap was all about when Dream ate all the positive apples.

However, I do know one thing: A swap is meant to swap characters, and while Dreamswap was meant to swap "roles", it also dabbles in changing personalities as well. So, while there is fair criticism that Dream in Dreamswap is nothing like in Dream in Dreamtale, I have to say this:

The reason that Dream is different is because of this IS a swap universe, even if creative liberties have been taken.

Is Error fine with others touching him and likes to donate his knitting to kids in need, or having others point out he's an error? Or is Swap a manipulative piece of shit that doesn't like being violent at all and also dislikes other Swaps? No?

Or is Ink someone who willingly works for Dream because he can and also doesn't have a hand or care in AUs being created, or is Cross someone who hates Dream's guts and would only join him under duress? No?

They are swapped with each other, but while I understand that OG Dream is handled pretty badly in terms of Kai (I mean, you know that Dreamswap was born from parodying Zelda and jumping on the "Joku is Bad" train, right? It won't ever be good as Dreamtale), and that the creator originally created Dreamswap to be somehow "infinitely better then Dreamtale" (no, it isn't, and I've loved Dreamswap since 2018, I'm just not a paint-huffing zombie like some of the fans here). I can understand why many fans of Dreamtale have a distaste for DS Dream - he's not the loving amazing muffin that OG Dream is, and I get that to hell and back

But also, it's still an AU at the end of the day, and while it's not a fully proper swap originally created from drama and for memes, none of the characters are going to fully be what they are in OG. If you want Ink and Error to still act like themselves, there's OG right there, and if you want Ink and Error to switch places, may I propose Pale and Template?

Part 2 will be in the second ask I got of this, 'cause I got two asks regarding this JUSFHSIURGHDG

...And the tears of a Clown

Okay, I’m going to go ahead and say I love Sean Astin and Felicia Day so this episode was just incredible to me! For so many reasons too. There was the Eve getting to tell Jenkins that they could not ALL leave The Library, somebody needed to be there as a last line of defense. Also, it’s the only time we have a NEW artifact that was made less than a couple decades ago and it’s never addressed again that new ones could be made. And of course the ‘attraction’ they use the crew for. But, I digress, let’s continue!

I almost hate when they have anything “set” in Kansas...that’s mostly because I was born there but hey, to each their own. I also despise he miscommunication trope. 

But when I tell you I gasped when I saw Sean Astin I am not exaggerating at all. I was not expecting that! Oh my gosh, Ezekiel gave Jenkins that lock picking kit for Christmas!! That’s fantastic!! 

I’m dying at this kid interacting with Jenkins. ‘The only ones who come after you are the clowns.’ This is Sam Winchester’s worst nightmare for real. ‘I presume you were raised on electronics?’ ‘Uh yes, yes I was’ good call Jenkins my guy. And now he’s terrified the child. “sigh”

I know that Jake is full suit due to the fake bodybuilder persona, but Cassandra as a mermaid is fantastic, and then we have Ezekiel barely clothed...Eve’s extra head ogling the boys, she felt so violated. Jake telling Ezekiel to stop playing that thing and he’s strutting around half naked unable to stop playing that recorder/flute. 

“That must be a weight off your shoulders!” Dear boy, you got your clothes back!! Yes Sean!!! First he was angry, now he’s back to being lovesick about Felicia Day. They are both so cute. 

 All of them feeling the effects of having their altered appearances is kind of funny. Stone rubbing his arms, Cassandra drinking a LOT of water, Ezekiel trying to say that those abs were all the snake charmer. 

‘We have to go back.’ ‘Are you sure you got the right head?’ He was not interested in going back at all. He was laying digital bread crumbs to keep DOSA off of their trail. Look at him go!!! And then they all got taken almost immediately. Worst. Souvenir. Ever. I agree with that, even if it does give you a clue. 

“Yes I understand. Your logic is sound. But there is nothing that can stop me from coming after you.” Jenkins showing he cares. Then the kids talking about fabric and Ezekiel finishing that with Matata from Lion King made me laugh. He went from zero to hero....the Disney references man.

Ezekiel asking the right question about why it has to be old. Which, has an unfortunate answer for this episode. I love the way he can twirl things around his fingers. Jones, the man you are... It’s not magic, it’s whimsy, girl, you are having way too much fun with that. Okay, so Stone has a clown outfit that fits his whole country boy vibe, Baird has camo, Ezekiel looks like literally any other clown making him indistinguishable, and Cassandra is having a blast!

“alright cool your jets Harry Potter” The Librarians are fighting for their lives and here these two are having a lovely date. Oh Flynn sent Eve the check yes or no and that is the cutest thing. Everything gets so dramatic and upsetting for a bit. 

Oh my gosh, poor Jake as everyone starts talking about the wand. Then Eve’s , do you know how much those things cost?! no, he does not, he would rather steal it. While he needs to know the value for other purposes, it wouldn’t be so that he could pay for it. 

Wrapping this episode up, Ezekiel stood way too close to that giant vat of hot wax for my comfort. Like, I know it was to throw the thing into it, but that could have splashed and that would have been a disaster! Then he has to pick at Jake for thinking it was the wand. They have a whole new section for NEW artifacts?!?! That’s amazing and terrifying. And it means we could have got several more seasons out of this show. My boy was mostly in the background for this one, I know he gets to be more in focus eventually, but this is frustrating that he always just gets a couple of lines.

"Doomsday" thoughts

i'm realizing i forgot to mention my WIFE freema agyeman in last episode. i'm so sorry baby. i can't wait for s3

anyway this episode fucks severely and kind of reminds me that a lot of diehard ten/rose shippers don't like. GET what makes them work, bc they don't get what makes rose work. i think i've said it before that not only do moffat haters not understand his era, but davies lovers often don't even really like it for the right reasons. or like, reasons that are based on the text instead of the tumblr interpretation of the text. this isn't to disparage davies likers or ten/rose shippers or whatever, just make sure you're remembering the episodes as they happened and not as 1080p gifsets you reblogged 8y ago

anyway! this was a great finale to s2 and to the rose era in general (i'll make a season retrospective w more detail). it's just some goddamn great doctor who, davies is masterful at weaving deep and impactful character work into the classic balls-to-the-wall insane doctor who shenanigans. let's explore, shall we

i love the idea behind the "genesis ark" like tell me that doesn't sound like something that already exists in dw canon. calling back to needing rose's touch bc humanity– the human ability/desire/habit of crossing boundaries, inherently filling every space, colonizing to be less generous– has a power to it. the bit as well about "cybermen will remove sex and class and race and creed" is a critique of centrism bc our differences make us human! they're beautiful! the great equalizer is horrific, imposed violence

i'm sorry if this seems homophobic but i don't think a straight person could have possibly written the dalek-cybermen interactions in this episode. "the daleks have no concept of elegance" "this is obvious" sorry it's just pure cuntiness on a level i have never seen a cishet achieve. i'm not stereotyping davies as just "sassy" or whatever he's deeply talented in all facets but bitchiness is indeed one of those facets

continuing the anti-establishment theme, yvonne walking into the cybermen hell saying "oh god, i did my duty" is deeply telling. the cyberman she becomes crying an oil-slick tear and fighting back saying "i did it for queen and country" is kind of sad and kind of horrifying. it's about the layers

rose gets to flex w the daleks by telling them what she did as bad wolf. "i met the emperor....and turned him into dust" yes!! yes!! get their asses baby!! "both sides had secrets" all the time war seeding is so tasteful and delicious. it works as both bread-crumbing info that will be revealed eventually and as background worldbuilding should they decide to never get into the nitty-gritty. they obviously do in "the end of time" for one and then eventually the 50th but davies plays it just subtle enough that if they never did get deeper into it, i don't think it would have felt like a cocktease

i love the pete-jackie stuff sorry. i love stories about people finding/refinding/etc love in their 40s. they're not the version of each other that they each know but they're close enough and they do love each other. their big hug made me emotional

and of course. the ending. what is there to say about the ending that hasn't been said a hundred million times already. murray gold is a fantastic composer and he CRUSHES it. the fact that ten was ready to sacrifice rose without her consent (which he will later do to donna! themes!), the fact that she fought the narrative and refused until tragedy took over, as it inevitably must. bad wolf bay. "i love you" "rose tyler, –" as tears drip down his face. oh i am just so sick. they were codependent and unhealthy but you really can't deny how much they cared for each other, and even tho i KNOW they meet up again and get their "happy" endings i just. oh it hit. phenomenal acting on both parts, incredible score, oh it just destroys me. a beautiful end for the season and for rose

side note, i did not recall that "runaway bride" was the next story. i totally forgot that we get the season-long gap before seeing donna again. i can't wait to get back to donna, she brings out the best in ten (being divorced and a pathetic wet beast)

season retrospective up soon!

How to Cope by Leo and Mikey Ch. 2

Leo slathered a thin layer of neosporin on his arm. Bandage time! He folded a paper towel a few times so if it bled, it wouldn’t go through his sweatshirt. He carefully put the paper towel over the neosporin, and taped it on with some medical tape. “Et violà.” He whispered to himself, satisfied. He carefully worked his sweatshirt back on, careful not to move the bandage. 

Leo stood up from his bed and grabbed the bloody paper towels, moving them to their final resting place, a garbage bag under his bed. Man, he hid a lot of stuff under his bed. He had been so concerned lately about how he could discreetly dispose of the bag every so often that he never thought about when to empty his regular garbage. 

He grabbed his pop tart plate and swiped the crumbs from his bed onto it, did his little dance with the door and made his way toward the kitchen to get rid of the plate. He grabbed his arm and pushed down, just to feel a little more pain. 

On his way back to his room, he passed his brother’s. He took a peek inside each of their rooms as he walked by. They were probably all asleep. It was four in the morning, after all. 

He passed Raph’s first. Leo carefully cracked open the door to find him curled up with one of his teddy bears. Leo could see the crack the Krang put in his shell, and how he knew it was his fault, his fault, his fault–

He couldn’t get into that right now. That was a whole other can of worms he was not prepared to deal with. 

He passed Donnie’s room next. The door was slightly ajar, and with a little push he could see that his twin was asleep (by some miracle) with his soft shell facing the wall. His battle shell was propped right next to him, so if he needed to, he could snap it on. 

He didn’t want to think about that either. 

Mikey’s room was next. And his door was shut tight. He could see light under the door, so for some godforsaken reason, his little brother was awake. 

It was more than a little alarming, to say the least. Mikey was an early riser, but four in the morning? That was a little early, even for him. Leo went to stand in front of the door. He was hesitant, and he didn’t know why. It was his little brother, there was nothing going on.

Leo knocked lightly. “Hey Mikey, you okay in there?” He said, a little above a whisper. 

Leo heard the bed shake, like he was severely startled. His anxiety crept up a little, and still not knowing why. He thought that made it somehow worse. He heard movement behind the door, which didn’t make him feel any better.

“Uhh, yeah, I’m fine! All good!” Mikey said, and Leo could hear the panic in his voice. There was something definitely wrong. His Leo senses were tingling. 

“Mikey, I’m coming in,” Leo said, turning the handle.

“NO, I’m good–” Mikey tried to say.

Leo opened the door to a neat bedroom, save for some art supplies scattered about. What was concerning was Mikey, who was sitting in his bed, under the covers. He watched as Mikey’s arms dove under his blankets. Leo tried to not think about what it could mean. 

The two stared at each other for a moment, before Leo fully slid inside the room and closed the door behind him. And even then, they stared. Mikey didn’t move at all. 

“So, you gonna tell me why you’re up at four in the morning?” Leo started. Mikey just stared, eyes blown wide, tears gathering at the corners. Mikey looked terrified, and dread flooded Leo’s stomach.

“Mikey, why are your arms under the covers?” Leo said, heart pumping. He didn’t want it to be true. Not him, not my baby brother–

“Because,” Mikey said, getting choked up. A tear slid down his face.

“Because why, Angelo?” He said softly. Each heartbeat thumped no, no, no–

More silence. It was loud. 

“Because they’re covered in cuts.” Mikey admitted, bursting into tears. Mikey brought his arms out from under his covers and Leo rushed over to examine them. They weren’t that deep, but they were bleeding, and were definitely going to scar. “I’m sorry, I’m– I’m– I’m sorry, Leo,” Mikey whispered, his tears mixing with the blood on his arm. 

“Hey, hey, look at me,” Leo said, making eye contact with his younger brother. “It’s gonna be okay. I’ll get you patched up in no time, I promise,” Leo said, lightly grabbing Mikey’s arms. 

“Mikey, I’m gonna go grab some stuff real quick so I can fix you up,” Leo said, standing. He went to the door, before thinking better. “Give me your blades.”

“What?” Mikey said, panicked. His eyes moved to a spot under his blanket, and Leo knew he had gotten him. He walked back over to the bed and flipped up the blanket, revealing two box cutters. He quickly grabbed them before Mikey could. 

Leo gave him a look. “Donnie’s box cutters? Seriously?”

“Don’t take them!” Mikey yelped, anxiety evident in his voice. 

“I wouldn’t dream of it. I’m just putting them over here,” He sat them on Mikey’s desk, “So you can’t get to them. I’ll be right back.” Leo said, and ducked out of the door. 

If Leo knew his brother like he knew himself, he’d be dying for the edge of a blade right then. So he had to hurry, not only because his brother might try to injure himself further, but because he was bleeding out. 

He didn’t have time to go all the way to the med bay and get him the good stuff, so Mikey would just have to deal with the Leo Special. Which means Mikey will find out about his… extracurricular activities, which wasn’t ideal, but it might be good, because they might both have someone to talk to. 

He gathered all the supplies he had used on himself earlier, put them in a drawstring bag, and brought them to Mikey’s room, along with a wet rag from the bathroom. When he entered, He saw his brother with his head in his hands, arms crusted over with blood. They’d stopped bleeding, apparently. 

“I’m back,” Leo said, slipping the bag off his shoulder. Mikey jumped, holding his arms close to his chest, suddenly unwilling to show his brother his arms. “Relax, I’ve already seen them. We gotta get you bandaged or you’re gonna get an infection, and that’s never fun.”

Mikey cautiously held out his arms, looking anywhere but his older brother. 

“Can I sit?” Leo said, gesturing vaguely to Mikey’s bed. The younger brother just nodded, still avoiding eye contact. “For the record, this might hurt a bit, but that’s kinda the point, isn’t it?” He said the last part to himself, quietly.

“Okay.” Mikey said, his voice cracking. Leo brought the wet rag to Mikey’s arms and began lightly rubbing at the cuts, trying to get the excess blood off. There was a lot, and he knew from experience that rubbing crusty blood off hurts, so he took his time. 

They sat in silence while Leo worked, Mikey flinching when he rubbed too hard. Thoughts ran through Leo’s head, and it was driving him crazy. What made him start? How long had this been going on? 

How could he not notice?

Mikey sniffled, startling Leo from his thoughts. “Are you mad at me?” He whispered, tears starting up again. Leo reached for a kleenex box, and when he came back to Mikey’s arms, they were bleeding again. He passed Mikey a tissue and lightly pressed a paper towel to his arm. 

“‘Course not, Angelo,” Leo said, pressing down on his wounds. When he lifted the paper towel up, they had stopped bleeding, so he grabbed his half-empty tube of neosporin and smeared it across his arms. He then grabbed a paper towel and folded it, placing it gently on Mikey’s left arm. He grabbed his medical tape and placed long strips to hold it down. Mikey watched all the while. 

“Why not?” Mikey cried. 

Because I do it too. 

He almost said it. He was so close. But he realized that he couldn’t, he couldn’t tell him right then, because it wasn’t about him. He needed to take care of his brother, first and foremost. There was always time later. 

But he wanted to. He wanted to so badly, so badly that he almost scrapped his previous thoughts and told Mikey the truth anyway. But he had to think before he acted, because he was the leader. He had to be the strong one, he had to carry his brothers when they couldn’t. That’s what a good leader would do, that’s what a good brother would do. And he wasn’t going to be a bad brother, not to Mikey. Not to any of his siblings. So, he soldiered on. He pushed aside what he desperately wanted to confess, because Mikey was broken, right in front of him, and he needed help. 

“How could I be mad when you’re hurting like this? I could never be mad at you Mikey, not about this.” He said plainly, hoping his brother wouldn’t press. He didn’t make eye contact.

Mikey was quiet for a long while. He kept watching as Leo repeated the process on his other arm. When Leo finished, he gave them a little pat and smiled, satisfied with his work. Mikey smiled in response, a shy little thing. 

Leo stood and dusted himself off. “Mikes, I’m gonna go, I’ll be–”

“Don’t leave!” Mikey’s newly bandaged arm shot out, and grabbed Leo’s left arm, a little too hard for his liking. He flinched, and he flinched hard. His brain switched into high gear. Here we go. 

Mikey cautiously let go of Leo’s arm. “Leo, why’d you flinch?” He looked up at his older brother hesitantly. His eyes were blown wide for the second time that night, staring up at him with scrunched eyebrows and jaw dropped slightly. “Leo–”

“It’s nothing! No reason, just, y’know, jumpy.” Leo gave a very obviously awkward smile, and tried to subtly pull his sleeve down further. Mikey watched his movement with a trained eye, just then noticing how his left sleeve bulged where his forearm was. All the pieces slid into place. 

“That's… That’s why you weren’t mad, wasn’t it?” Mikey said, looking at his older brother in wonder. Now it was Leo’s turn to stand shock still, moving his arm behind his back. “That’s why you didn’t panic. That’s why you didn’t take my blades away. That’s why you’re so good at bandaging like this.” 

“I plead the fifth.”

“You do it too, don’t you?” Mikey said, looking at his big brother in a whole new light. 

“I can neither confirm nor deny.” Leo said, backing away toward the door. Mikey jumped out of bed, not ready for the conversation to be over.

“Leo, just drop the act! I already know,” Mikey stage whispered, grabbing what he could infer was the uninjured arm. He glanced at his brother, and they held eye contact for a long time. Leo was the first to break.

“Yeah, okay, I do. There, I said it,” He huffed, crossing his arms. “I wasn’t gonna tell you until later. This isn’t about me, it’s about you, and you needed me. You still do. I’m your big brother, and it’s my job to protect you. That will always come first.” Leo said, out of breath. 

Mikey massaged his temples. He glanced at the clock on the wall, and it was now 5:15 in the morning, and way too early for this. “Leo, when will you get it through your thick skull and realize that it sometimes is about you! Right now it’s about both of us! We’re both going through it, and– and you’re not alone! Neither of us are!” He gripped Leo’s shoulders and shook him.

“But–” Leo started, wanting to argue back.

“No. No arguing with me about this.”

Leo paused, shocked about how fiercely his brother felt about this. That probably meant something, but he was too exhausted to try and figure out what. 

“We should… Hmm.” Mikey said, thinking better.

“What?” Leo said, giving into his brother’s antics.

“I was gonna say we should try to get… Clean, maybe. To stop.” Mikey went to sit on his bed again, Leo rolling his eyes but following him nonetheless.

“Cold turkey? That’s quite the challenge, Angelo.”

“Yeah, I know,” Mikey said, getting under his covers again, finger running over puddles of dried blood. “But maybe it would be good for us.”

“Good for us, definitely. I mean, I’ve tried before, and it never worked for me. The most I’ve gone at a time before was a month. That’s what my ‘I Am Sober’ calendar says, at least.”

Mikey perked up. “Hey, I have that app too! I think my longest streak is about two weeks, though.”

Leo rolled his eyes. “Well, glad to know we both found our way to the promised land of a self harm tracker. But if we’re serious about this, we need to make a plan.”

Mikey nodded. “A pact,”

Leo chuckled, “How about a blood pact?” Mikey slapped him on the shoulder.

“Not funny.”

“Tough crowd.”

Mikey rolled his eyes. “Did you reset your timer? We should reset, and then try to quit. Cold turkey.”

Leo let out a breath. “If you’re sure. ‘Cause I’ll do it if you do it. I honestly don’t really… Want? To stop? But it would be good for me. For us.” He pressed his hand onto his arm, trying to feel a little more pain.

Mikey gently pulled Leo’s hand off and squeezed it. “I know. But we can do it. Together.”

Leo squeezed back. “Together.”
