#this reminds me of the this is fine meme of the dog and everything is on fire

[the-darkness-does-not-bargain]

goad you emjoyed the image, i was pratically in tears for a good minute over it, esp bat lilith because it”s hillarious imo lmao

oh yeah ava & lilith are like, completely obnoxious with the flirting. in public they’re fine, partially because lilith is reserved and pda isn’t really her style most , and partially because even if it was, they have a habit that they still do (because it’s still necessary in many places) of either no pda, or not being very effusive with the pda and instead keep it subtle and at a minimum, because of having been in many places where for the longest time queerphobia was vv much a prominent thing

around friends and family though, omg, their friends and family are all the epitome of the bugs bunny meme because the flirting is almost so completely incessant

even worse because they love flirting via arguing and there’s been many times people have thought they either genuinely hated each other and tried to stage an intervention and/or that ava & lilith were really obliviously and represssedly pining after each other and tried to get the two together only to find out they’ve been together for millenia

re: origin of ava’s powers, going back to what you said about ava maybe touching something magical and that’s how she gained her immortality, forgot to mention but had the mental image of ava’s origin of her immortality being like “what’s that in your mouth?” ava: *chews faster* “what do you have in your mouth?!?” ava: *chews faster and swallows*

and that’s how through pure dumbassery and fucking around and finding out, ava found the secret of immortality

more seriously, I had the idea of ava having her halo scar which is identical to canon, and maybe ava & the other suspect it has something to do with ava’s immortality, because ava sure as hell doesn’t know where it’s from, but nope, regardless of whatever its’ origin is it’s a complete red herring and they don’t know that. it might’ve, and probably had some significance or special properties to it once (defo doesn’t have the powers of the halo in canon), but whatever it was, ava doesn’t remember and all it is is just a cool scar and maybe a weird disk in her back

i also had a similar thought about maybe werewolves & ava having the same source, though the source was ava being a great great great great great descendant of aliens and somehow stumbling onto using alien tech that brings magic into the world which brought all supernatural beings into the world, bc i’ve been on a sci fi kick and the concept of aliens being the origin of a good chunk of supernatural beings always has ke like 👀, but i scrapped it because i feel it kinda anti vibes with the vibes

also i’m just mentally picturing lilith &/or ava getting a bunch of animorph & twilights book and then being dryly like “this is actually a secret, generation to generation educatoonak and factual book on the super natural and playing it straight ao well that they actually almost persuade someonw that that wasn’t the truth

also i’m 🥹 over how much avabealil’s apartment must reflect likith’s prescene, it’s pratically and literally engraved into it, via stuff like specially made nooks and placed for a bat, how so much of everything in the apartment has claw marks from lilith perching on it

Wait oh no, did Ava eat the philosopher's stone???? 😂😂😂 That would truly be the most in-character explanation for her immortality, I can't top that. Oh god, that reminds me of the Doctor just licking and eating random stuff. This is totally how Ava behaves, she's a freaky little goblin who eats rocks, I just know it! Lilith looks over at her one night and she's just fucking gnawing on a stick like a dog and is like wtfff???? you kiss me with that mouth???? It's also giving Baccano! energy because in that show, immortality is served by the glass.

Maybe the halo is a defunct magical focus device or something, and either the source of its power is lost or its just so old that it doesn't work anymore (5,000 years out of warranty). Wherever Ava originally came from might have been a magic-based society or a religious one that used magic in its rituals (extra strength religious trauma, anyone?).

When Bea moves in and witnesses how they act around each other, it's the epitome of "hmm, weird vibes here" but after a month or two she gets it, and after a year or so she's fully in on the joke, much to the dismay of all of their friends. Bonus points if she backs up whatever bullshit story they tell about some work of fiction. She sells it so well, she's the ultimate "Committed to the Bit" gf.

I'm picturing any place they settle in for a year or more as being like those houses with the fully-rigged cat playhouses, with steps and little bridges built into the walls etc. For a bat, that would be like comfortable perches screwed into the ceiling for her to hang from, and maybe a little bat box in the highest corner of each room. They almost always lose their security deposit if they rent but who cares?

For the character meme: Ed! :D

:D!

favorite thing about them

oh god, everything. His theatricality, his natural brilliance, his showboating, his arms, his boredom, his playfulness, his legs in those breeches, his terrible coping mechanisms, his disney prince eyes, the way he has so many sides to him that flash depending on who he's with and what the situation needs, his love of fine food and clothes, his stupid frat boy schtick, the way he does his hair, the leather, his confidence, the way he doesn't like to try new things if he's not immediately great at them... he is a hot mess of contradictions and that makes him very compelling (also, he's hot).

least favorite thing about them

That time he made Fang put his dog down 😠 (I have thought about this A LOT because I don't like it!! and I want to reduce it!! and I think it is interesting that the policy Ed remembers is "no pets because they befoul the ship" but the rest of his crew give more weight to the "the love of a pet makes a man weak" thing, which Ed needs reminding of. Extrapolating from that, my headcanon is that someone tried to push back on the befouling thing once and Ed threw out ~love makes you weak~ because: a) he's Blackbeard and that's the sort of thing Blackbeard would say, and b) he's good at manipulating people and saying whatever needs to be said in the moment to get them to obey, and c) fuck you for arguing with me -- which doesn't make it better but it does make it less about the dog.)

favorite line

"Dickfuck, no it's not" lives rent free in my head, but shout out to "You wanted to be Blackbeard, this is what it's like" and "Science tells us all the useful organs are on the right side of the body, so I cleverly took the sword on the left."

brOTP

Ed & Lucius, especially when it's post-S1 fake-ghost Lucius who was enjoying haunting him but is now like, holy shit, you need help, let's get this bitch some therapy.

OTP

I am gone on Ed/Stede like I've never been gone on a pairing before.

nOTP

reciprocated Ed/Izzy (sorry)

random headcanon

It might be more word-of-god than headcanon, but I like the idea that Ed's got plenty of physical experience with sex but not much emotional experience. Which means every time with Stede, even when it's flaily and faily awkward too-many-knees sex, is still the best of his life because it's fun and safe and exciting all at once.

unpopular opinion

*kicks the hornets nest* There's a side of Ed that does enjoy cruelty and violence and making people scared of him (and part of his journey is going to be reconciling and balancing that with the equally real side of him that wants to be pampered and loved and treated gently.)

song i associate with them

always Grace Kelly by MIKA but a recent and very strong entry is Both by Todrick Hall

favorite picture of them

(he is SO PRETTY and I like wallowing in heartbreak)

#ask meme #our flag means death

[chaoticillness]

omg muse pls tell us about your ideal relatioship

OH BOY. YOU ARE IN FOR SOMETHING

my love language is absolutely physical touch, but i’m also so awkward about it so someone who would reassure me that they love me and my clinginess

if you can’t deal with me dancing and singing around the house we’re never getting together

you are also going to have to deal with my special interest autism rambles

someone who’s understanding about my sensory issues. yeah i can’t do the dishes because i hate the texture of the rubber gloves but i’m willing to do other chores! the key in relationships are compromises

not afraid to show me off i know how hot i am you better appreciate that

if it’s a dude, not uncomfortable with the female body. i’ve met so many dudes that were fine but they screamed as soon as they saw a tampon??? like not hot

this is a personal thing but if you say dogs are better than cats because “cats are mean” i am going to kick you in the face

on that note, someone who genuinely appreciates my interests! i’m so used to being brushed off as crazy autistic bitch that I’ll fall in love with you if you just respect and listen to me and see what i love

the guy i got closest to a relationship with i fell in love with because he didn’t treat me like a foreign object, but as a person to talk to

i may see/hear little things you don’t and point them out! it’s not a insult, if i’m comfortable enough with you to share my bursting thoughts (i say “look!!!! a birdie!!” a lot) that’s like. The highest thing you can get

disses ppl i don’t like with me

somedays i look like a fashion runway model, and some days i haven’t showered for a week. that’s what depression does to you and they’re gonna have to accept that

sending memes is the purest form of love

i will send you everything that reminds me of you throughout the day

casual pda!!! Optional requirements:

is Ayato or Tighnari /j

In Heaven at 11-Months

With Spring making its grand entrance, we've been a busy bunch! Kent is just one month away from his first birthday, which is difficult to believe. He's at the age where his personality is really becoming his own. Everyday feels like a new adventure and we're really evolving as a family. There've been some bumps in the road, as to be expected, including some sick days and whoopsie hair trims.

Kent's level of happiness hasn't wavered and his baby teeth smile is now giving off serious toddler vibes. He loves to be silly and he now says "dada" and "mama" on the regular. It's crazy that he knows who we are to him and recognizes the role we play in his life. Being a parent has to be one of the most exhausting yet rewarding experiences. It's difficult to remember what life was like before Kent.

We have really made it a point to both be equally involved in Kent's care, with us both working full-time. Rob was honestly born to be a dad and has somehow mastered it faster than most. Kent adores Rob; I even caught him muttering "dada" in his sleep on the monitor the other night. Their bond is so strong it just makes your heart melt. Don't get me wrong, Kent is still very much attached to his mama. As for the dogs...Crepe will protect Kent for life, but wants nothing to do with him. Bunji just lies and takes whatever abuse Kent wants to give him.

This kid has been really testing his boundaries lately. He'll look us right in the eye as he throws something on the floor deliberately. Then he giggles loudly, making it impossible to be mad. Over the last month he has really started to get his rhythm with music as he dances to most tunes. It reminds me when his birth mother sent us a video of Kent dancing to country music in her tummy. He likes to drum his hands on everything, and everyone.

He is surprisingly strong! He's pulling himself up into standing positions on the regular and practices walking with his stroll walker. I am very okay if walking takes a while as we have a LOT more baby proofing to do.

Recently we had to take Kent to daycare, which was not easy to do. Kent ended up doing just fine, which is good considering he'll be going to daycare full-time starting in mid-May. Rob snapped a picture of Kent before leaving him and it broke our hearts. I had to turn it into a meme just to make me find humor in it. And just like that...after just a SINGLE day at daycare, Kent got sick. Fever, runny nose, chills, the whole shabang. And mommy got sick, YAY! Well, at least he knows how to share, haha! I tell you, taking care of a sick infant when you're also sick feels like torture. We are surviving though, and hopefully we'll be back to our old selves in no time.

We ended up taking Kent to urgent care for the first time. The doctor asked us lots of yes/no questions like "does he have a rash on his chest?" and Kent would shake his head "no" in response. Obviously he didn't know what he was doing, but that didn't make it any less funny. His smile is infectious and he's truly the best baby we could've asked for.

· Well my dear I decided to pair you up with Eustass “Captain” Kid

· And this, my dear is a little glimpse of your daily life with him and the Kid pirates.

· It was a sunny warm spring day on the island the Kid pirates docked on. The island they were on was pretty chill and welcoming. Everything was fine and the pirates had no problems getting the supplies they needed.

· A calm afternoon greeted the men but that quickly faded when they passed a bar in which they heard things break and screams

· “What the …?!”, the red haired captain was about to finish his sentence when a man was stumbling out of the bar with a bleeding head. The poor man fell in front of Killer that looked down on him with a thought of helping. He slightly kneeled down but instantly stopped in his tracks when he saw a woman walk out of the bar.“I fcking dare you to come back. Ever! You heard me you pathetic version of a man!”

· “Why am I not even surprised that she did that to him.”, Killer shook his head and stood back up while also making a step back to join the others.

· “I got it damn bitch!”, said the bleeding man who was still lying on the floor.

· “What did you say? Who are you calling a bitch you fcking pussy! I´ll murder you if I ever see you or hear from anyone that you touched a woman without their consent, you heard me, filthy ass!”

· Wire who was standing near Kid went to Killer “Shouldn´t we hold her back? What if she really kills him?”, asked the pirate with slight worry in his voice. But Killer shook his head. “She never hurts anyone without a reason and besides Kid trusts her so do I. Kid said that we should let her be. When she needs help or anything she´ll ask.”, the worried pirate couldn´t understand why but he trusted his captain and his first mate so he dropped the topic but still kept an eye on the woman that went inside the bar again.

· Kid observed everything with an amused smile spread on his face. He always loved the way you would and could handle problems. He was never worried when you decided to stroll around an unknown island by yourself. Because you knew that anyone that dared to start a fight with you would be running even before they knew that you were a member of the Kid pirates.

· Kid loved you to the moon and back. And who knew this? Exactly! No one knew that. (Well that’s what he thinks. Basically all of his crew mates knew that he was head over heels in love with you but no one dared to tell him that. lol) Not even you who was dating him. Like that dumbass just told you that you look hot and that you would be a really fitting crew mate.

· AnYwAyssssSS

· Kid loved your rowdy side. He enjoyed watching you go feral whenever there was a fight. He knew that you would always watch his back and make sure all of his crew mates were doing good.

· One of his favorite moments with you is when you barge into his workshop to tell him that you pranked Killer (once again) but put it on another crew mate whom he wants to murder now.

· He loved you and enjoyed your company. No matter how crazy, wild and loud you were. Kid loved your confidence and self-love. He liked the way you knew what you wanted, liked or disliked.

· You were basically made for him and his personality. But as much as he loved your crazy reckless self he would always look forward to moments in which you would simply keep quiet and cook.

· Oh how much he enjoyed the sight of you in just some joggers and sports bra while you cooked. He loved the way you would frown while measuring the ingredients you needed.

· And that smile whenever you tasted something and it ended up being good.

· One time you made a cake out of boredom that ended up being better than you expected. Out of excitement you took a piece and went to Kid with it who was in his cabin working on a new project. Knocking on his door you got his approval to enter. When he saw that it was you with a plate in your hand a tiny smile grew on his lips.

· “What made you come to me now?”, Kid leaned back on his chair. “This cake I made. Now listen I want you to eat it and tell me what you think.”, Kid was about to stop you from talking but you shut him up by simply sitting on his lap and putting a finger over his lips. “I know that you don´t like sweet things but you have to give this a try now. You. Have. To. Heard me? You. Have. To.”,

· “Hold up woman. First of all who allowed you to come and sit on my lap and second I have better things to do than play judge for you little cooking’s. Go ask Killer or one of the others. As you can see I am busy. Now get of me woman.”, Kid held you by your waist and was about to make you stand up when you put the plate on the table in front of him and crossed your arms in front of your chest. “First of all I am your girlfriend therefore I am allowed to sit on your lap. Secondly if you don´t try it I am sleeping in Killers cabin for the rest of the week. Do you want that? I´m sure you don´t cuz that would mean no more…”, “Alright, fine! Quit talking. I´m eating.” You did a happy clapping and took the fork and feed the red haired man your dessert, who surprisingly liked it a lot. But that was not only because it was delicious but also because you fed him while also sitting on his lap.

· And from then on Kid was always making you feed him his dessert while taking a seat on his lap

[sparrowmoth]

I’m back in case nobody ever asked about your boy, so…. Carlos de Vil for the ask meme :)

@hoodpane Aww, thank you, sweetheart, I appreciate that! 🥰♥️♥️

1. Sexuality Headcanon

I headcanon (and write) him variously as gay OR bisexual since I can see it either way with him, for reasons akin to my thoughts on Evie in this post. Sometimes, I headcanon him as aspec, too, and that's been at the back of my mind with certain fics, but I haven't yet decided if I feel strongly about him fitting a particular label or if I'm just trying to figure out things for myself by projecting different labels at him idk.

Anyway, related (gender) headcanon that I can never shut up about: whatever sexuality I'm writing him as, he's always he/they nonbinary in my mind, my writing, my memes, just everything jdkaljgklsg. <3

2. OTP

Jaylos, my beloved! For me, there's no universe in which these two don't end up together, which is why they come out on top as my OTP, deeply fond as I am of the Rotten OT4 ship. Marlos and Carvie can be romantic or platonic, it's fine either way, but if Jaylos isn't happening, I probably won't bother. I just don't enjoy reading them in other ships.

3. BROTP

I think Jane and Carlos are really cute as friends. It makes me really happy to think about Jay and Carlos going on double dates with Jane and Lonnie (who are in lesbians together, change my mind you can't).

I'm also here for Chad being the bestie Carlos literally never wanted. Their dynamic is just so fucking funny. It makes no sense! Compels me though. And Mal, Jay, and Evie absolutely tease Carlos about it.

4. NOTP

No hate, but I'm not here for Benlos. I think it's cute that Ben clearly has a crush on Carlos, but I mean, it's Ben. Show me a VK he doesn't have a crush on lmao. I don't know, this ship just leaves me bored, so I'll usually take a hard pass on anything that features them together.

Less common nopes I've encountered: Gilos and Chadlos. Just nope.

5. First headcanon that pops into my head

In telling Carlos all those horrifying (and untrue) tales of dogs being vicious, rabid pack animals as he was growing up, Cruella liked to up the drama by growling, baring her teeth, even biting him sometimes.

This instilled such terror in Carlos that he thought to weaponize it, so, for years, he'd growl at his bullies and try to bite and claw instead of punching and kicking. The other kids found this strange at best and hilarious at worst—none more so than Harry Hook in the latter case.

Oh, he never let Carlos live that down, even long after he'd realized it wasn't having the desired effect. Harry would bark and growl at him in the street, laughing gleefully when he managed to startle Carlos.

Meanwhile, with Jay, Mal, and Evie, the nickname "pup" emerged as a soft, teasing reminder of the first impression he'd made on them as kids. Much to his exasperation, he's simply stuck with the nickname.

6. One way in which I relate to this character

Look at him, he's got anxiety. No, but seriously, that's definitely a big thing for me. The way his anxiety makes people underestimate him, both in canon and fanon, because it's easy to see just a scared little boy where, in fact, there are so many sharp edges, so much steel in him that's helped him survive.

I relate to that a lot, because IRL I find most people make the mistake of assuming anxiety is my personality ("omg you're so shy uwu," "you should talk more," "smile for me"), and well, they're wrong, but I didn't always realize that. I see something similar with Carlos on the Isle, in that he grows up being told that he's weak for so long, he internalizes that as a truth about himself when, in actuality, if he was weak? He'd have never survived. Not the Isle, not his mother, not his entire life.

7. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

chocolate-all-over-his-face.jpg jkdlajlkgsjlkg

Like, it warms my heart how excited he is about chocolate, but also I kind of want to be a mom for just TWO SECONDS and wipe his face before he gets out of the limo looking a mess like that jdkasljkgdlsjk

8. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

You know, he can be a cinnamon roll, but it would be a mistake to see that as the extent of his character. I'd say more than half the time it's just an act to get what he wants, which is valid of him. Jay and Evie flirt, Mal intimidates, and Carlos? He gives the puppy eyes so you don't notice the knife slip out from his sleeve before it's too late.

One of my favourite things about him is that he could have gone the route of problematic fave. He's capable of it. He just... chooses to be better than that, like in this scene from Return to the Isle of the Lost (Book 2), which is one of my favourite scenes in the whole franchise:

Cruella cackled with glee. “Go ahead, then, use it on me. Destroy me. With that ring you can obliterate me forever. Tell me to throw myself off this roof and I’ll do it. Isn’t that what you want? Isn’t that what you have always wanted?”

Carlos felt the ring throb in his hands. He could destroy his mother, rid the world of another villain, and stop having nightmares once and for all.

“Do it!” Cruella cackled. “Do it, boy!”

He raised his hand, pointing the ring right at her. Then he dropped his arm down with a sigh. “No, I can’t. I’m better than that,” Carlos said, turning on his heel and heading for the elevator. I’m better than you, Mother. No matter what you’ve always told me.

That's my baby and I'm proud.

ok so the hawkeye trailer came out and yay i cant wait so imma just write some of my opinions lmao-

RANDOM NOTE- since im in australia the trailer came out around midnight or whatever and i had christmas music stuck in my head as i was trying to sleep so yeah but it was worth it 

THOUGHTS- clint and kate r such memes definitely nat and yelena vibes and the car scene i see so many parallels and im definitely going to have to edit them soon. hailee welcome to the mcu so far everything everyone has seen they adore as they should cause kate is 100% the worlds greatest archer im here for it. and the fact kate recognised hawkeye and lowkey fangirls and tries to show off pls she is definitely a huge nerd and im here for it. PIZZA DOG HELL YEAH IM SO READY. also captain america the musical is already iconic love that.

PLS I NEED THIS- im waiting for yelena to find clint (and definitely not kill him cause that would highkey ruin the point of nat sacrificing herself in the the first place) and for clint to give her back her vest bc I believe nat definitely would have talked to clint ab yelena and no way clint just left nats body at the bottom of that damn cliff (tbh i dunno if u can even get down there cause then he woke up and was just somewhere else on vormir but its fine for the sake of this we r pretending clint could get to nat jsjjsjs). anyways yeah so clint is gonna give yelena the vest and its gonna be adorable and yelena is gonna put her forehead against the vest just like she did to nat and the grave (and it’s gonna make for some much nicer plottwist edits lol) and nat will have written little notes or left little things in the pockets that reminded her of yelena or that kept her calm and happy while she fought and then yelenas gonna get to keep the vest, wear it all the time and do the same and the vest will essentially be the spirit of Nat watching over and protecting her as she and clint and kate kick ass.

^^^^ watch me manifest this even tho i know none of it is gonna happen cause marvel is set on destroying all my dreams. i also highly doubt any of that made much sense but i reckon u get the jist lol

side note: the world is not ready for the sheer force of florence pugh and hailee steinfeld

side note again: if we dont get nat references imma riot

#pls give us nat references #i beg u #honestly not mad ab the christmas vibes #hawkeye #hawkeye trailer #natasha romanoff #yelena belova #kate bishop #clint barton #clintasha #yelena and natasha #black widow #hailee steinfeld #florence pugh #marvel #mcu

[straighttohellbuddy]

📓 !!

Okay im so excited please know I think about How The Light Gets In's world every day still, and so anyways here is a side story I want to write but there's a lot of set up regarding the reader and eef becoming friends again. For context, they were incredibly close around 2014-2017, but people were getting creepy and invasive and demanding about their friendship (think 2012 toxic side of the Phandom, if that makes sense), and a lot of the reader's relationships were strained at that time because while they had been successful before, they were absolutely blowing up after their first album released and they became far more mainstream. They felt like they were bothering the people they had become closest to, both because they're worried that they're a bother, and because gossip rags and paps would harrass their friends looking for a scoop, and so they ended up just completely cutting off contact without warning one day right before they went on their first tour. the start of HTLGI is about 3 years since they'd been in proper contact with any of the creators they were close to at that time.

DON'T LOOK AT ME on their 2017 ep Hyperfocus was a more general song in response to everything that had been happening in their life around that time, with a focus on how they stop associating with anyone for a while, without outright addressing it, but on their latest album n o s t a l g i a, read at 5am ft. Troye was specifically written at the start of quarantine, when the reader was getting back into YouTube, about their feelings regarding how their friendship with ethan ended, as they spent a lot of this time looking back of their YouTube career, and he was the person they were closest to for a very long time, before they iced everyone out.

OKAY SO THERES MORE OF THE BACKGROUND OF THE WHOLE FIC AND THE READER BUT

Werewolf Ethan & Mark. I'm sorry I don't make the rules. They have golden retriever energy you cannot change my mind. But also because this is the HTLGI you know that supernatural characteristics are able to be activated rather than just triggered by the full moon. What I'm trying to say is since this is set in the year of Unus Annus, they film a video together that's like, you know that show where a person has to try and outwit a professional tracker? Except its the reader being tracked by two werewolves at night in a national park. Reader is wearing some sort of night vision camera on themselves so whenever it cuts to them the audience can't actually see how they're using their powers, if that makes sense.

Also the reader agreed to this knowing it would probably be when they ended up telling Mark and Ethan about them being a demon.

Video is titled Hunting Down An Old Friend

A few Moments that the boys edit out:

The reader using their stupidly sharp prehensile tail to swing from tree branches, though they leave in shots where the reader's tail can't be seen.

Knowing that with the werewolves having advanced hearing, the reader would give themselves away by talking to the camera, they take a few minutes having flown up to a high tree branch, to pull out a notebook and do a little sketch of how Mark and Ethan appear in their Demon True Sight, and holding it up to their camera.

Werewolves being one of the animals who can kind of sense demons without being able to identify them, essentially like dogs can sense natural disasters and are often good judges of character, this can be heightened on command for werewolves. There's about 15 minutes of footage cut out of the boys discussing or mentioning how this place has awful vibes and that they should have done this during the day. It gets worse as they get closer to the reader, who didn't realise that the boys hadn't thought to ever use that particular power around them before.

("I say this with so much love and appreciation for you, dude," Ethan yells, looking up at you from the base of the tree they'd finally found you in, "but I- this is making me anxious I feel like something terrible's gonna happen, and we should probably get out of here and film the rest of the video back at Mark's." And behind him, Mark's nodding, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, eyes scanning the trees for whatever was most likely the cause of this terrible impending doom.

Oh. It's you. And they don't know its you.

Now or never, you suppose.

"Can you cut the cameras for a second? You're going to be fine I promise," you called back, and though they obligingly did, they both seemed antsy. You cleared your throat awkwardly, "that... that terrible feeling, that's not the park or anything in it- well I mean, it is, but it's just- it's me."

and later

"Dude your wings smell like rotten eggs."

"To YOU Ethan! And no they don't!"

"If it makes you feel better they smell like burning and rotten eggs."

"It does not."

(for reference, when enhancing their sense of smell werewolves can kind of distinguish various supernatural creatures, or parts of supernatural creatures. Some creatures have an inherent scent, but some, like angels and demons, only have distinct scents when they've activated certain attributesor abilities; demon wings smell like fire and brimstone, which unfortunately means burning and rotten eggs. I like to think angels wings are like the love potion in Harry Potter that smells like the things you love the most. Mark and Ethan usually don't enhance it around each other because they smell like wet dog to the other)

This gets about 2k notes on tumblr. The reader likes it:

Ethan finally finding Y/N at the end of Hunting Down An Old Friend (2020) Colourised.

Other things to note regarding all this:

It takes a while to rebuild their friendship to the point where they're comfortable enough to be on camera together (eef and reader specifically).

However, the Unus Annus video is the first thing they properly do together, and the reader, in an effort to connect more and make up for the past, will join in multiplayer gaming streams if asked.

Impromptu duet in proximity Among Us of Young Volcanoes by Fall Out Boy, which has their respective chats and fandoms losing their minds, except it stops abruptly after the first chorus as they both remember the opening lines of the second verse (make it easy, say I never mattered -- those lyrics hit a little too close to home)

But also the reader convinces him to join him for a proper cover in like, February of 2021, and it's something deeply sappy (I'm thinking Bon Iver by mxmtoon because I think its sweet and fits them well)

Also Ethan being reminded that the reader is kind of a much bigger deal than when they'd been friends before.

designed to hurt (touch me) from their ep Working On It is nominated for a Grammy for Track of the Year, and n o s t a l g i a wins Best Pop Album (because it's my fic and I said so)

FIRST OF ALL designed to hurt (touch me) is a beautifully produced song about Corpse (which people do not know) and the title itself is literally making fun of something he said IMAGINE his reaction to it being Grammy Nominated 😂😂😂 God he'd be proud but lowkey fuming, meanwhile the moment the nominations are announced the reader tweets:

me: here is an album where I processed my entire world view including heartfelt explorations of the trauma of existing and oversharing in the public eye from a young age without the traditional barrier between audience and entertainer

the grammys: that's cute BUT you know the song you wrote to bully your boyfriend and also be horny on main for him before you guys were even dating? THAT deserves its own recognition.

meanwhile Ethan's like..... this is the same person who I filmed a video with playing cards against humanity, and you laughed so hard you almost threw up. I am very proud but deeply confused.

The Hot Meme of Late April 2021 is "2 time Grammy Award Winning Artist Y/N" with a gif, still, or quote from the reader where they're just being an absolute chaos gremlin.

Of course we have "If I bleached my asshole for charity I'd do it tastefully."

2 Time Grammy Award Winning Artist Y/N speaking to their actual boyfriend in the year of our lord 2020: You are being executed for Clown Crimes.

ethan posts a short video to twitter simply of his screen where he's renaming a folder from "Never Before Seen Images of Grammy Award Winning Artist Y/N" simply changing it to 2 time Artist. The reader responds specifically to his tweet with a video of themselves asking Google how to hard reset someone else's computer.

So many screenshots from old videos surface that week.

I miss this world. Sorry this is rambly!!

Tissues and Blankets - Bakugou x Sick!Reader

Warnings: Light swearing

You watched from your bed as Bakugou got ready for work. Normally you would be awake and up with him however, much to your dismay you woke up sick. It did not help that your boyfriend had to go to work even though he just wants to smother you in blankets and take care of you.

“There’s some soup you just need to heat up and medicine on the counter.” Bakugou said while rummaging around for his keys. “Don’t fucking die on me while I’m at work.”

“I’ll try not to, now go, I’ll be fine on my own!” You shooed Bakugou away with the wave of your hand. 

Bakugou turned and leaned down to press a kiss to your forehead before leaving. The sound of the door shutting echoed in the now silent apartment. Everything is fine, you told yourself, after all you would only be alone for a few hours.

~

Everything was not fine.

The sounds of your heavy breathing and the occasional sniffle was all that could be heard in the otherwise silent apartment. You groaned as you threw yet another empty tissue box out of your cocoon of blankets. Banished to the floor along with the countless other tissue boxes.

You had spent the whole day lying on the couch watching whatever Netflix recommended to you. It started with the usual action movies that didn’t require much attention to understand but now you were on a nature documentary marathon. Surprisingly, they were very interesting and a great way to spend time while bound to eternal suffering on the couch.

Bakugou had texted you throughout the day to make sure you were eating and staying hydrated, only for you to respond with memes that reminded you of your boyfriend. He had left you on read since the meme which had compared him to an angry Pomeranian dog.

Finally you heard the apartment door unlocking and the distinct sounds of your boyfriend coming home from work.

“Ah my saviour. My knight in shining armour. My love! You have returned!” You beamed at your boyfriend who was unloading the army of tissue boxes from his grocery trip he must have done on the way home.

“Glad to see someone here is happy.” He grumbled, moving to the kitchen to put away the rest of the groceries. 

You turned your attention back to the nature documentary you were watching. 

“Come on it’s late, let’s get you to bed, you should be resting.” He said as he stood in front of you. 

You briefly looked up at your boyfriend from your mountain of blankets and tissues. However, your attention was quickly caught by the documentary and you moved your hand in an attempt to shoo him away from the TV screen. 

“You’re sick and the bed is comfier. You’ll have fucking back problems from this couch.” Bakugou insisted.

You craned your head to the side, trying to see past the frame of your boyfriend. “It’s only like eight o’clock. And I am invested in the life of red pandas Katsuki. Now hush.”

Bakugou’s eyebrow twitched and he sighed at your remark. “You’re sick, you need to rest.”

“But red pandas.” You pouted, attempting to persuade your boyfriend with puppy eyes only to be interrupted by an onslaught of sneezes. Bakugou regarded your sniffling form on the couch. “Katsuki, they use their tails as blankets! How cute is that!”

Your boyfriend looked at you with what you so lovingly call his trademark angry face. He leaned down over you and the next thing you knew, you were gently hoisted into his arms. Knowing you couldn’t escape his hold healthy, yet alone sick, you quickly accepted your fate and relaxed in his hold.

“Go forth my loyal steed!” You giggled and pointed your arm in the direction of the bedroom. Bakugou smiled at your cute antics and placed you down on the bed. You sighed at the feeling of the clean sheets surrounding you. Your boyfriend was right, this is comfier than the couch, not that you’re going to admit that. The bed dipped with the weight of your boyfriend as he laid down next to you. He slung his arm around you and pulled you into his side. 

“Now sleep and stop fucking sneezing everywhere.”

You giggled at your boyfriend and snuggled into his warm side, “I love you too Katsuki.” 

Drowsy from your cold it didn’t take you long to fall asleep.

[regrettablewritings]

If you have any openings left for the ship meme might I inquire about one Peter B Parker and the headcanons: still cries watching Titanic, firmly believes in couples costumes, and lastly (because I’m such a fucking sucker for this), gives nose/forehead kisses?

Be honest: You just want to see this sad sack of strangely sexy in gooey/awkward situations.

And honestly? That’s fair.

Gives nose/forehead kisses: Both of you are capable of giving nose and forehead kisses. However, the willingness between you two varies. You, for example, tend to favor kisses applied to the nose. Specifically Peter’s nose. You want to smooch Peter’s big, broken nose. It’s just so absurdly adorable -- you were never even a nose type of person until you developed a thing for him! And on the one hand, he might gently chide at you for being a weirdo, putting on a begrudging expression as you happily peck the schnoz. But on the other, deep inside like nearly everything else, he’s quite flattered and almost . . . in wonder about it. He doesn’t see himself as prime real estate of any kind, so the fact that you find any part of him appealing -- especially his nose, which he did not set right at all -- is pretty flabbergasting to him to say the least. But unfortunately, that cold front is exactly what makes it more difficult for him to be ready and willing to give the same back to you. Given the slight oddity of your relationship dynamic (cough-the age gap-cough), Peter can’t help but occasionally overthink things. Sure, he’s a tired old man who’s fucks-to-give supply is in a constant decline, but he doesn’t want to be an old man if you catch the drift. Compared to the decidedly more mature and intimate kiss on the lips, a kiss on the forehead or nose may come across as too juvenile. Or, even worse, paternal. Or so his anxieties tell him. It may take a few times at first, but you can talk him down from this mindset by reminding him what kisses on the head or nose tip tend to actually mean: Protection, adoration, and an effort to reassure and keep the other calm — all things Peter is more than capable of and willing to provide, whether he believes that of himself or not. So the further along the relationship goes, the more those types of smooches tend to pop up in your day-to-day lives. Though he still prefers liplocks. (Pro tip: The best chances of acquiring a kiss on the forehead is when he’s tired, or even halfway asleep. When he’s got nothing else to do and can just lay down for some downtime, Peter doesn’t really like to move a lot. So if he’s conked out in the bed, feel free to climb in next to him and cuddle up, almost kitten-like. He’ll have the barest minimum of consciousness going on, but he won’t second-guess applying a kiss to your forehead, as if to say goodnight. And then immediately proceed to fall asleep.)

Still cries watching Titanic: Peter has a . . . complex relationship with Titanic. He never really cared for it, having grown up more interested in sci-fi movies than ones centered on romance. And then the dog days of divorcee life hit him. He still didn’t really care for it, mind you, but at that point in his life, nearly anything with the slightest indication of long-lasting love and dedication had the power to send him spiraling. He thought so long as he turned it on as background noise one boring Saturday night, he’d be fine and could just go to sleep. . . . Coincidentally, that same night, you heard your mysterious (and depressed) neighbor sobbing up a lung. Fast-forward to present day, where Peter considers the day to have ended pretty pleasantly: Patrol ended early, he managed to come home at a decent hour, and the both of you watched documentaries until you conked out next to him, leaving him surprisingly awake. With nothing else to really do, he mindlessly flipped through the channels before landing on one that just happened to be playing Titanic. He wasn’t really sure what possessed him: He just felt compelled to attempt to watch it. Maybe it was him subconsciously trying to test himself? To see how far he’s come? He never understood it himself. But as the film dragged on, following Rose’s attempts of “slumming it” and the star-crossed couples’ sexcapades, Peter found himself . . . bored. Which was to be expected, he still hadn’t learned to care for the movie, but more so this time because you weren’t awake to indulge him by poking fun at how ridiculous it all was or by blabbing on about how lightly the socioeconomic gap was approached and conquered for the sake of providing a member of the privileged a playground and — And Peter fell asleep: Bored, comfortable, and happy. He doesn’t cry at Titanic anymore; there’s just no longer a need to.

Firmly believes in couples’ costumes:  You do, despite everything saying it made no sense. For one, Peter never really got into the whole costumed couples thing -- he already spent so much of his time in-costume, to the point that whatever “magic” there was that normal people experienced from dressing up had long-since died for him. In addition to that, it wasn’t as though you two had many excuses to do it: Your apartment building didn’t have any families in it, and kids tended not to come by to trick-or-treat anyway; and neither of you had any friends who were especially into throwing Halloween parties as much as they were the type to go to parties thrown by people neither of you even knew. But Peter wasn’t the type to fall for anyone who wasn’t the slightest bit stubborn, to his own dismay. With some convincing (and the promise of making it up to him later), you can have him dressed accordingly yet! Sure, he won’t exactly feel snazzy dressed as Fred Flintstone or “get” whomever you insist he dress up as (“The heck is ‘Hopper’, and why do people keep making jokes about not messing with me? What kind of crawl is this?”). But as long as he can grab some food on whatever themed pub crawl you’ve persuaded him to join you on, he’ll go along with it. (Besides, sometimes you making it up to him comes in the form of sexy couples’ costumes for his eyes only, and that’s definitely something he can go along with. Just...please don’t do Sexy Spidey or Sexy Doc Ock or whatever. It makes him feel conflicted.)

Thanks for being a good sport and being so patient, Noah!

[selkiewife]

Since I was re-reading it today (!) could I ask for the commentary meme:

"He was murmuring something again, she turned sharply and took him in. He slept curled in on himself, like a dog. Even unconscious he tried to take up as little space as possible. “Robb…. Robb…” his breath became sporadic, rapid, distressed. “Robb….!”

These were the cruelest dreams. The dreams of the eldest Stark, The Young Wolf. Robb. She knew his name now. She had heard it enough times. Robb Stark. She hated him. Hated all the Starks. They had taken her brother and twisted him beyond recognition.

He began shouting Robb’s name. She crept back into bed and put her arms around him. Theon clung to her, his eyes staring through her.

“It’s alright… Theon. It’s alright. It was another nightmare. You’re fine.”

Theon turned those searing eyes on her and saw her for the first time. His eyes filled with humiliated tears and he bent his head.

“I’m sorry Asha… Robb… He’s gone…” A strangled sob escaped him.

Asha pulled him down onto the pillows and pulled the furs up around them as he continued to mumble his apologies- for keeping her up, for being so much trouble… Asha hated this part the most of all but she stroked his hair softly and held him until he began to drift back to sleep. She thought he was sleeping when he murmured brokenly the constant refrain, “I should have died with him. Where was I? I should have been with him.”

Asha felt angry tears forming in her eyes as she whispered fiercely into the darkness,

“No. You shouldn’t have been with him. You should never have been with him. You should have been with me.”"

@alleyskywalker asked about it's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing from this meme:

Thank you so much for sending this ask in! I was really so happy to see that you had commented on this fic because I wrote it so long ago!

The rest is under a cut since it got long:

This was my very first Asha POV fic. I believe that I had seen as much of the show that had aired up to that point (Season 6) and I had read both Theon and Asha’s POV chapters but I had not read the entire series yet. I read the entire series in order after finishing Asha’s chapters. So this was my first book inspired fic. And I wanted to explore the idea that caring for Theon reminded her of Alannys.

I was still relatively new to the world of fanfic and fandom. But I’d found the hurt/comfort fics first and decided that was very much how I wanted to spend all my time lol. So it seemed natural for me to fantasize about Asha comforting Theon. I am actually not sure if I had read Theon’s Winds sample chapter by this point, so I guess I just skipped ahead with this future fic and was hoping they were “somewhere safe and recovering in the north” lol.

I’m really not sure what I was doing with the line, The Young Wolf. Robb. She knew his name now. She had heard it enough times. I think it was because I had noticed that Asha never refers to Robb by name in the books but instead always refers to him as “The Young Wolf." I think I was trying to show that she is now gaining a better understanding of who he was as a person. Whereas before, she only knew Robb from his warrior reputation. Now she knows his first name and knows how important he was to Theon. BUT this line kind of makes me cringe now, because even though she never refers to him as “Robb” in the books that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t have known his name. lol.

When she starts talking about her hatred for the Starks, I was writing what I think she would have actually thought, but I was also responding to people in the fandom who constantly said things like “Theon was better off with the Starks.” Because that’s just not true. Yeah, Balon objectively sucked but, there was still Asha. There was still Alannys who loved him so much that her health drastically declined when he was taken away. There was still Dagmer and Rodrik the Reader.

I also really wanted to explore what it was like for Asha when the north took Theon hostage. How she suddenly found herself alone, the only child left between two parents struggling with their grief in very different ways. It must have felt almost as if Asha lost her whole family the night that Ned and Robert crushed them. She lost her two older brothers, her little brother, and her mother (because of how grief stricken she was) all at once.

And now she sees her brother who is so guilt ridden for betraying Robb, looking and acting so much like Alannys and she thinks about how her family would have been whole had it not been for Robert Baratheon and the Starks. I mean Balon is to blame too- but I just wanted to let her be openly critical of the Starks without any mitigation. 

Because Asha can be very hard on Theon and she also condemned his actions in Winterfell, I think readers sometimes get the wrong impression that Asha would be on the Starks’ side when it comes to Theon betraying the Starks. But, I think that’s a definite nah. Asha is definitely a character that need not wear Stark goggles since they objectively caused so much heartache to her family. And yeah, I know it’s nuanced and it’s not like the Starks loved having to hold a child hostage bla bla bla, but just let me have this lmao. Also there is also the feeling like, "I can talk shit about my lil bro, but no one else can."

The last line was actually the first one that came to me and was the reason I wrote this fic: “No. You shouldn’t have been with him. You should never have been with him. You should have been with me.” Theon thinks he should have died with Robb, but Asha feels like he shouldn’t have been put in that position in the first place. It also echoes back to the fact that when Alannys' mental and physical health declined so badly after her sons were taken from her, there had to be a part of Asha that was like, “Stop looking for them, look at me! I’m still here!” And when she sees that Theon is mourning “his brother” Robb, part of her is like, “I’m your true sister. And you should have always been with me.” I think that when she first met Theon again she saw him as a threat to everything she had worked for her whole life. But now, after all they have been through in the books, she has reverted to the way they probably were as children- with her being protective (and even possessive maybe?) with him. Like, "I would have been a better sibling to you than these damn Starks."

Anyway, I hope that was interesting and thanks again for the ask and for your kind comments on the fic as well! 🐙❤️

Dial Tone

so i finally finished weh recently and i am ✨not okay✨

BUT i couldn’t stop thinking about this ficlet and i actually really like it, so here’s some angst for this fine day (and some slight alterations to canon but whatever) excuse the poor formatting i don’t really know how to go about it for this type of thing

M Rating (mentions of death and grief, so just to be safe)

Dakota x MC (both unspecified or something idk)

~1.5k words

-

“Hey. Hi. It’s, um, it’s me.” Her voice rings soft through the phone, hesitant as she sits curled up on her bedroom floor.

“I, uh, I know you’ll never hear this but I’ve just gotta get some things... off my chest, or whatever. Just some things I’ve been wanting to tell you but, you know, can’t.

“I miss you. Like a lot. Which is probably pretty obvious, but still. Like I - I can’t stop thinking about you. You pop up wherever I go, everything just reminds me of you.

“No matter what, I just see everything you’d love or joke about or try to make the best of. Which I could use some of these days.

“And I know you’d probably tell me to move on or keep smiling or whatever, but I miss you. I already said that,” she laughs meekly. “But it’s true. I miss you, and your laugh, and your jokes, and your smile, and the way you’d just make everything feel lighter.

“Now everything’s too heavy. I keep waiting for you to text me, with a meme or a random heart or something, but there’s just... nothing.

“And then I realize you’ll never send me a heart out of nowhere just to remind me you love me again, and it feels like there’s a brick on my chest.

“So that’s why I’m calling,” she sighs heavily, the size of it sinking her shoulders. “I don’t know why, but I kept hoping I’d hear your voice as the line was ringing. You have such a nice voice, did I ever tell you that? I hope so, you deserved to hear it. My favorite part of the day used to be when I’d hear you say hi.” She laughs again, stronger now, “And my least favorite was when you said goodbye.

“I never liked goodbyes, and now they’re even worse. Every goodbye feels so massive now, you know? Like - like what if this is the last goodbye? What if one word is the last I get of someone?

“Sorry, you don’t want to hear about that. What’s something to tell you about?

“Oh, I’m going to school, just like you encouraged. I leave pretty soon, I’ve been putting it off as long as I can. Amy left for her classes already, but she calls me everyday.

“She’s just the best, always there. Even when it’s three in the morning and I need a distraction from...” she clears her throat, “yeah.

“And her and Heather are still together. They’re doing so well, I’m so happy for them. They deserve it, really. But sometimes... sometimes I put my phone on mute when she’s texting me about her and ignore it for the rest of the day. I always feel bad, but it’s just too much.

“Um, I go to the park everyday,” she abruptly switches topics, “and just hang out. Sometimes the dog park, I’ve loved that place since we first met. All the dogs are so cute and fuzzy.

“Mom says it’s good to get out, clear my head. And the flowers are pretty, so I’m not really complaining. I still go to the hospital sometimes, too. Peds is missing you, but the kids are doing well. Hope Springs is helping a lot of people too, sometimes Mrs. Batra invites me to get lunch in the cafeteria.”

Her voice tapers off for a moment. “Something else, something else,” she mumbles beneath her breath.

“Did I ever tell you what I first thought of you? I thought you were kinda annoying,” she giggles brightly, a smile alighting her features. “‘Too insistent,’ I think is what I told Amy.

“You just seemed so sure of yourself, I didn’t understand how anyone could be that confident and not be suspicious. You just knew what you wanted, and it was so obvious you would get it. I - I truly admire that now. I love that about you. To be fair, I love everything about you, but still.

“And then when you asked me to be your girlfriend, I was so surprised. When you asked me out that first time, too. Even when you said you loved me, I just... Dakota Winchester wanted me to be their girlfriend. It seemed impossible. Still does, honestly,” she turns breathless, lost in memories for a minute. “But here we are. Er... here I am.

“Um, Mateo and Lennox are doing well. They’re sweet. They keep trying to help and be there for me, but there’s not much they can do but keep themselves afloat.

“Mateo’s been sending me a random selfie every day to try and make me laugh. Today’s was him running from a store clerk with a broom. He says he’s innocent, but I don’t think I believe him.

“And Lennox... I don’t think she really knows what to do with me. She’s taken us all boxing a few times, but outside of that... She doesn’t talk much, or text unless Mateo invites her to something, but she never really talked much, I suppose.

“She, um, she bought me something. She gave it to me the day after graduation. I made a speech at graduation, actually. About you. Amy cleared it with the principal. I had butterflies the whole time,” she giggles. “If I wasn’t talking about you I probably would have run.

“But it’s a, uh, keychain,” she switches back. “It’s one of those name ones, with - with, uh... Dako-“ her voice breaks before she sucks in a deep breath. “It says Dakota. She said she thought I was lame enough to like it.” There’s a watery laugh, tears now openly streaming down her face.

“I mean, she was right. I -“ her voice cracks again, “I love it. I always carry it now, and take it out when I get stressed, or when I need to remember you.

“My mom keeps telling me I should stop remembering, ‘cause all it does is make me cry, but I’m-“ a choked sob escapes her “-I’m just so afraid of forgetting you. I can’t forget you, ever.

“I probably sound like I mess, but you’re not even listening are you, so what does it matter?” her tone darkens as she swipes beneath her eyes, harshly wiping away the tears.

“You’re not listening now, or ever again, and you’re the only one that would listen if you were here and I know you said that - that - that you are, but how am I supposed to believe that?! It’s been months and nothing’s changed and - and everyone always just stares at me when I say that, like - like-“ she cuts off.

“And - and Mateo -!” She halts, catching her breath before her voice returns, calmer, softer. “And Mateo keeps telling me that you are listening, that you wouldn’t say that unless it was true. That you’ll always be here for me, and... and I haven’t been able to decide if that’s as good as either of you made it sound. If I’m okay with you seeing me like this.

“I just know you’d hate it. You’d hate it so much, because you always hated when I was upset. I know you’d try and make me feel better and you’d have so many jokes, and then you’d put on a horror movie and get ice cream and - and -“ she stops herself for a long while, taking deep breaths to calm down and prevent sobs from fully taking over.

“I haven’t watched a horror movie since,” she finally speaks up again. “Amy invited me to the movies before she left, but I turned her down. Yours was so much better than all of them anyway, and not just ‘cause I was the star. You put so much love into it, I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve never seen anything like you, either.

“I wish you got the chance to make so many more movies. They would have been beautiful. Scary, but beautiful.

“Everything you do is beautiful. I miss that. The beauty every day. I miss you. I know I keep saying that but... I don’t know, I can’t stop... thinking about it, all of it.”

The keychain rattles as she pulls it from her pocket, the pad of her thumb tracing over the lettering. “Dakota,” she whispers, reverently. “I looked your name up a while ago. Means ‘friend.’ I couldn’t think of anything more fitting. My Dakota, the friend to everyone.”

She sniffles, the keychain clinking again. “I, um, I should go. Lennox is taking me to meet Mateo at the diner. We get milkshakes every Saturday and I don’t want to be late. I love you. So much. And I miss you so much, too and - and bye. For now, okay? Just for now.”

The phone hangs up, and she prays it can be heard. That they were right, and Dakota really was listening. Prays that the dial tone rings on an open line.

#i put off the last three chapters since it was made public cuz i just adore dakota so much #and holy fuck was it awful #but so pretty at the same time #ughh #playchoices #choices fanfic #with every heartbeat #choices weh #dakota winchester #dakota x mc #tw death #death tw #cw grief #not totally sure what tags to use so lemme know if i missed one #sidenote: #this is the only fic ive written in the notes app of my phone and yknow what it fits the vibe lmao

Writer’s Note: Ok, so this chapter gets a bit juicy and there’s going to be a bit of jealously, along with a hint of romance, but that’s all I’m gonna say. Hope ya’ll enjoy it and please comment! I want to hear your thoughts and feedback. This took me like a month to write it, I’m not sure how I feel about it so :/ yeah.

 Onces, Netizens and the overall Kpop community in general were lit a blaze with the reveal of Twice’s new member: me. Of course now being in a whirlwind of what is Twice’s schedule, I didn’t have time or the energy to read comments, dms or messages that I’ve gotten from them (thank God). Jihyo was also a factor in keeping me on my toes during long dance practice days, even though she wasn’t as hard on me as she was with the others. They weren’t too hard on me either, usually laughing at my mistakes and helping me if I missed my timing or not. The pressure was on: not only from the Korea public and Kpop community as a whole but because of Tzuyu as well. Her eyes would always be on me, then they roll as she waited for me to fix whatever I did. Even during my photoshoots for the album or promotional media, she’s got her eye on me. We haven’t even talked much since she blew up at me weeks prior. I’m not sure how to fix this really. 

I decided now to ignore her, which is easier said than done, due to how close we are during performances. (She literally rests her head against my shoulder during Cry For Me, damn you JYPE!) Right now we’re back stage at Music Bank, awaiting for our rehearsals for our I Can’t Stop Me stage and she’s seated directly to my right, all that’s keeping her from me is my phone, along with Jeongyeon seated between us.       

“Y/N, check out this meme,” Jeongyeon said as she practically shoved her phone in my face.

I chuckled lowly; Jeongyeon nudged me. 

“That’s the only reaction I get?” she whined. “You always laugh at Chaeyoung’s.” 

“Well that’s because she doesn’t use ancient memes,” I said. “The cereal guy is like five years old!”

“So, are you calling me old Y/N!” Jeongyeon said. “That’s disrespectful to your Unnie.”

She nudged my shoulder a few times with a sly grin and furrowed brows. 

“No,” I groaned. “Your taste in memes are old.” 

“Who’s old?” Nayeon said as she squished herself between me and Jeongyeon. “You better not be talking about me Jeong.”

“You said it not me,” Jeongyeon said with a snicker.  

Nayeon didn’t waste any time in smacking her arm, making her laughter rise while I get up to avoid their playful conflict.

“How about you both make out already,” I teased. 

The words make both idols separate with the quickness; their faces red as they sit up straighter.

“W-Whatever Y/N,” Nayeon said. “I should be telling you and Tzuyu doing that since all you both can do is eye each other.”

Now I’m the one recoiling, Jeongyeon did the same as Tzuyu’s attention is on Nayeon with a stare. Jeongyeon nudged Nayeon and pushed her back onto her feet. 

“Everything was fine until you came along,” Jeongyeon whined. “Also, your make-up’s smudged a bit.”

Nayeon’s hands fled to her face, shock over took it in a matter of seconds. 

“Look at your face!” Jeongyeon said as she erupted into another round of heated giggles. I smiled to entertain her, but stop immediately as Nayeon throws us a deadpanned look this time.

“You’re still a grandma,” Nayeon said as she walked away from the couch and towards Mina, Jihyo, and Momo, who held Boo in her arms. 

“Ya! If I’m a grandma then what does that make you!” Jeongyeon yelled back. “Great grandma!” 

I shook my head and returned back to my phone, my finger itching to open up Instagram yet I’m restrained by soft hands. Tzuyu’s next to me, close but not as close as Jeongyeon was. Her face in taunt, but not in the anger she aimed at Nayeon; this look is of warning. 

“Don’t,” she said. “Didn’t Jihyo unnie say not to.”

“I-I just wanted to message someone back,” I said. “You hardly talk to me, why are you doing this now?”

Tzuyu rolled her eyes. 

“I just don’t want you in a mood where you can’t focus,” Tzuyu said. “You mess up so easily.”

“Wow, thanks for reminding me,” I said. “I just have to check something with someone.”

Tzuyu pulled her hand away from my wrist, yet she doesn’t return to the other end of the couch. 

“Who?” she said. 

I side eye her for a moment while I open Instagram; my direct messages are 100 +, forcing my pulse to pound in my ears. The second I tap the arrow that brings up the messages, the swarm hits me:

How come out of all the Sixteen contestants, they bring back the worst one.

You won’t be a real Twice member. This has got to be a PR stunt from all the “cultural appropriation” allegations.

K-Pop isn’t for you, go back to America.

Who told you K-Pop was for you, you black bitch.

The negative messages began to build, and build, out-weighting the small clump of positives ones that came through. My hand tightened around my phone as anger and fear boiled up inside me: angry at myself for taking on this opportunity and fearful because of the hate. I expected this so, why am I feeling this way?

“Y/N?” Tzuyu said as she nudged her shoulder against my own. “Momo Unnie!” 

Momo’s head whipped around to the couch, Boo sniffing every where from his position in her arms. Tzuyu’s voice also got the attention of Jihyo, Nayeon, and Jeongyeon as well. They flocked over to us immediately. 

“Y/N, are you all right?” Jihyo asked as she knelt down in front of me. 

I broke from the trance that the hate comments pinned me in and glanced up at the concerned faces of my bandmates, including Tzuyu this time. Her eyes cut to Momo, as Boo continued to wiggle in her arms. 

“Unnie! Could she hold Boo, please?” Tzuyu whined. 

Momo blinked at Tzuyu but did so anyway and placed the wiggly dog in my arms. 

“Whoa, there,” I said as Boo sniffed down my brown blazer. “Hey there, Boo right? God you’re such a good boy aren’t you? Yeah?” 

Boo sunk down in my lap licking my fingers as I pet him with my other hand. Nayeon was right, Boo really is a great stress reliever. Any dog is, gosh it’s been so long since I’ve petted or actually owned a dog. 

“Are you ok now, Y/N?” Momo asked. “Boo really likes you, he could barely stop moving when Sana first held him.” 

“Are you nervous about the performance?” Mina said as she walked to stand behind the couch with Sana, Chaeyoung, and Dahyun behind her. 

“Yeah, being up there with you guys is extremely nerve wracking,” I said. “And I read a few of the comments online.”

“Y/N,” Jihyo groaned. “You shouldn’t have done that.”

“I know, know but the public’s perception means a lot, right?” I said. “The Knets are already giving me a headache.”

Mina frowned and placed her hands on my shoulders, then gently squeezed. 

“You’ve been practicing so hard with us,” Sana said. “You’ll do amazing!” 

I nodded, still taken a back by the comments but Boo’s yipping and the encouraging words from my band-mates eased my worries (even if it’s just for a little bit).  

“All right girls!” a manager said as he stormed into the room along with my own manager, Miyoung who signals me towards her. “You’re going on in five!” 

I rise, Boo whined as I did and Nayeon held her arms out to take him. 

“Aww, Boo, Y/N will be back soon. OK?” she cooed. 

I handed him to her before stepping over to a free corner of the room with Miyoung. 

She gave me a tiny grin as she rubbed my arm, giving me a once over. 

“You all right? It seemed like the girls were consoling you over there,” she said. 

“I’m getting there,” I admitted. “I’ve been practicing choreography for weeks and I just saw--”

I paused at Miyoung’s face; it contorted in concern then exasperation. 

“You read the comments, didn’t you?” she asked. 

I glanced down and nodded. 

“I’m sorry I wasn’t trying to let it get in the way of the comeback.”

“Hey, no Y/N,” Miyoung said. “You don’t deserve any of that. JYPE’s even taking the legal action against a lot of the comments, surprisingly.” 

I blinked at her words.

“He’s actually keeping his word,” I said. 

Miyoung nodded. 

“And you’ve got a V Live to do after the performance once you return to the dorms,” she explained. “A welcoming type thing with the other foreign members.”

I hesitated at the word foreign, that means being close to Tzuyu. It also means being close to Tzuyu on camera. 

“Is that all right?” Miyoung asked. 

“Y-Yeah, I just don’t know how this would go.”

Miyoung brought me a bit closer as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder. 

“Well you’ve got Twice in your corner,” she said. “And if anything or any one of them bother you, even another manager, come to me. Brittany insisted I keep an eye on you.” 

I deadpan while my mind wondered back to how Brittany was ready to fight JYP in his own office if things grew awry. 

“Y/N, c’mon!”

I turned toward the door to see everyone geared up and ready to perform, eyes steady waiting for me; Tzuyu even with a tiny grin on her face. 

“Go on,” Miyoung said. “Have fun, don’t think too much of it.”

***

I messed up the shoulder move; I know I did and the playback remained in my mind throughout the drive back to the dorm and as we all settle into our rooms. 

“Y/N it’s OK,” Jeongyeon groaned as she slumped against her bed. “You were off by a nanosecond. The only person who noticed was you.”

“Exactly! The Netizens will tear me apart even more when they notice and--”

“And that’s not important right now,” Mina said as she entered Jeongyeon, Momo and I’s room with Sana on her arm. 

“V Live time!” Sana sung. 

“Good,” Jeongyeon  said. “Keep Ms. Worry away for a while. Mina let me play your switch while you guys are live.”

Mina shrugged. 

“Sure, but you’re going to have to get it from Chaeyoung,” she explained. “She’s playing it in my room.” 

“Ugh, you and your girlfriend,” Jeongyeon said as she rose from the bed. 

I perked up at the term.

“Girlfriend? You guys are dating?”

Mina nodded. 

“Of course we can’t be official,” she said. 

“I know,” I said. “Things aren’t as liberal here as they are in America. I-I can’t believe those ship videos were right.”

Mina blushed a bit. 

“That’s the only fan discourse Chae and I keep up with mostly.”

“You kept up with ships Y/N?” Sana asked. 

“N-No! I was just curious that’s all! Anyway, let’s go get this live over with.”

Sana giggled as she led Mina and I to her room where Momo and Tzuyu sat in pajamas, holding stuffed animals tightly. 

“Y/N! Don’t worry about the performance, you did amazing!” Momo reassured. 

“Let’s hope the Netizens agree with you,” I groaned and plopped down beside Momo  and Tzuyu on the floor. 

“I thought you were supposed to stop worrying about the Netizens,” Tzuyu said. “It almost got in the way today.” 

I turn toward Tzuyu and crossed my arms. 

“So you noticed my screw up too?” I said. 

Tzuyu rolled her eyes. 

“Almost is the key word,” she groaned before she reached up from the bed next to us and grabbed a few stuffed animals. “Now which stuffed animal do you want?”

I blinked at the choices Tzuyu presented: a purple flamingo with oval shaped eyes or a pink alpaca with a square shaped eyes and a rather odd expression. 

“I’ll take the flamingo,” I said. 

Tzuyu handed it off as Sana gasped. 

“He suits you Y/N,” she said. “Two cuties and wow, I didn’t know you hung out with Sooyoung Y/N!”

“Who?” Tzuyu asked. 

“Joy!” Sana squealed 

“Sana what are you talking about?” I asked as she leapt on the bed and showed the phone to us. 

We both peered down at the picture in front of us; I remember this one (sort of) from a few years back when I co-wrote a few tracks for Red Velvet and hung out a bit with Sooyoung, we were at a beach some where in LA. I’m sure her fans didn’t pay it much mind but since I’m an idol now along with her, I’m not sure how anymore. 

“Look, lot’s of fans speculate you’re both dating now!” Sana said. “So, is it true?” 

I’m the one rolling my eyes this time, Sana tossed a flirty grin my way and wiggled her eyebrows. 

“No Sana, why are you being so ridiculous right now.” 

“Come on Y/N,” Momo said as she nudged me against the shoulder. “Sooyoung is pretty hot. You sure you didn’t--”

“Unnie, don’t,” Tzuyu warned. “Y/N said she didn’t so we should just leave it at that.”  

“Tzuyu’s right, we should start the V--”

Mina was cut off by Miyoung and a few other managers step into the room. 

“Sorry we’re late!” Miyoung said. “We brought snacks!”

Momo’s eyes grew large. She nearly snatched the plastic bag from Miyoung, pulling out a large bag of BBQ Lays before passing the bag to me. I reached in and pulled out a green tea flavored Kit Kat (it’s been a minute since I’ve had one). 

“Thank you, uh are you sure we can eat this on camera?” I said.

“Yes Y/N,” Sana said through a giggle. “Gone are our Sixteen days, plus this is our chill V-Live time, fans love to see us just kicking back and having fun.” 

“Everyone huddle in!” Miyoung instructed. “Make sure you’re close so the viewers can see!”

Momo squeezed herself closer, and to my surprise Tzuyu did the same; she hasn’t been this close since Cry For Me dance practice, her perfume is too strong. It made me a bit light headed, or is it just the feeling of her close again? Probably both. 

“Here Y/N,” one male manager said as he handed a phone off to me. “Hold this so you guys can keep up with the comments .”

Miyoung rested her phone up on a stand before looking to us. 

“You guys ready?” 

Everyone nodded, all but me. 

“Y/N?” Mina asked as she slipped a hand on my shoulder. 

“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I said and put on my best smile. 

“That’s all we can ask for,” Miyoung said. “Now, we’re live!”

The moment she pressed record, everyone around me perked up to flash their own smiles. 

“Hi Onces! We just wanted to hang out with you guys and welcome our new member to you officially, Y/N!” they said in unison. 

I waved and smiled enough to reveal teeth. 

“Hi Onces! I’m glad to be here!” 

My eyes couldn’t help but flock down to the phone in my hand, even with the other four members reading it as well. There’s a part of me that told me not to, but I had to stop thinking like that. I’m a member of Twice too, no matter what they think or say.

The oncoming comments read:

Hi Y/N!!!

So pretty!!

Hi from Brazil!!

Why is she here? Why couldn’t Nayeon take her place?

She doesn’t belong in Korea with the beauty of Twice.

Do you guys name your stuffed animals?

My heart hammered and thumped painfully hard in my ears; instead of stare blankly I chew on my Kit Kat in silence. 

“Well I haven’t named this one yet,” Sana explained. 

“Manager-unnie!” Mina called, waving to Miyoung. “We can report this comment here!”

“I got it,” Tzuyu said as she took the phone from my hands. 

I watched her through a mouthful of chocolate as her brows stay focused; she turned back to the camera with determination as she handed the phone over to Mina. 

“Y/N belongs here,” Tzuyu declared to the camera. “And if you don’t want to watch her with us you can leave.” 

I almost choked at her words; I heard that correctly, right? I was dreaming, right? Tzuyu must have picked up on my stress and looped her arm around my own; she didn’t pay it much attention to it as she fell into more easy going questions with Momo, Mina and Sana. I did as well, soon enough.

Thoughts on Dark Fortress #2

(This post is under a cut due to spoilers.)

So late with this one! some stuff irl was keeping me really busy and hyper-distracting me lately, but it’s finally over now so I’m back on my bioware bullshit. :D

Overall there were a lot of beautiful or awe-inspiring scenes in this issue, and a lot of great, meaningful / poignant character interactions and moments between characters. It’s pretty impressive actually how much was able to be packed in. I posted some of my favorite panels here. also omg! the action sequences! the big reveal! the ending!! woww

cool scene-setting, panned out shot of Neromenian and behind it, the Dark Fortress, to immediately pull you back into the world and ‘where we left off’. the combination of ruined dead trees, red lights, lightning and fire/smoke is very atmospheric and hints at what’s ahead

“From this... city, if we can call it that” is a sick burn and reminds you that the Qunari are technologically more advanced than most of the rest of Thedas, from their cannons to their aqueducts

more individually distinct Qunari soldiers, sth I again appreciate

! last issue there were big ‘You haven’t seen the last of Tractus!’ vibes, naturally, but I didn’t expect him to escape by stabbing and killing the Qunari using a chair-leg..!!

the last panel on the first page of Karasten is really good. the way it’s colored, the way it’s lit, the light and shadow, the fiery backdrop, cinders floating, the details of his expression.. 👌 it also makes me think to the possible future, to DA4 when mainland Thedas may be continuing to face the entirety of the Antaam

in Vaea’s acrobatics scene on the bridge, I know rationally that she’ll be fine but couldn’t help but worry for her. again I like how they don’t shy away from showcasing Vaea’s specific abilities. also the attention to detail - you’d think some rocks are just some rocks, but it highlights the risk she’s undertaking that if she falls it’s into rough seas which could dash her against the jagged rocks :’S. Vaea, gooooo!

Fenris’ “Enterprising girl” line has big “Clever girl” meme energy :D

my heart can’t take Fran and Autumn leaning over the edge after Vaea in worry ;; or Aaron looking back in concern over his shoulder ;; or Fran’s tender reassurance ;; or Autumn’s Worried expression ;; the care and bonds which have grown between this group of characters ;;

notice Aaron starts drinking when Vaea’s away from them and they’re beginning to grow worried about her safety. the poor man’s nerves and stress levels

Fran touching the vegetation while she’s considering if she could use her magic to open the entrance from the outside is a nice touch

did Marius leap in front of Fenris and Fran there when the entrance opened?? damn, he’s quick. and the three of them look all scary and formidable here ready for combat. notice how the curve of the door and the spikes that go into the ground, and the composition of this panel, make it look like they’re standing in front of an opened dragon’s maw? ‘teeth’, a rumbling ‘roar’.. some nice foreshadowing here.

the reunion panels are so cute. Autumn’s lil tum as she jumps and Fran and Fenris’ lil smiles of relief and at Autumn’s reaction to seeing Vaea, then a rare happy beam from Aaron.. feel.. the love ;__;

red lighting in the tunnel sets a dangerous, dramatic build-up mood

👀 more info on Fenris’ past, on the specifics of the process which gave him his markings. in the panel where he says that it took a long time, his shadow on the wall behind him reminds me of the shadow of his past that has dogged him for so long :(

Fenris and Marius height difference

discussion of the process shows the power difference between blue and red lyrium. blue lyrium took a long time, red lyrium is almost instant

Autumn is such an intrepid little explorer and alert scout, tail and ears up, head forward. good girl!

“I just... worry about you, my girl”  ‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚  I’ll be so sad if these are death flags for Aaron and he doesn’t make it out of here. also note Fran in this panel, who recently had to kill her own father and is still dealing with that, watching the strongly paternal moment between Aaron and Vaea :(

love Vaea’s faith in Aaron and her sense of humor. also I don’t know why, maybe it’s because Vaea met Sebastian, but her “Maker, no!”, although in a completely different and light-hearted context, reminds me of Sebastian’s “Maker nooo!” at the end of DA2 hh

the reference again to Hawke, who Fenris saw haunted by what they tried to do - save their mother - and couldn’t :’(. also with the shadow in this panel, here’s another person struggling with the shadow of his past qq. this is later emphasized again in Aaron when he continues to talk about his past and in the panel is a chain and manacle. smart visual metaphors, a must in the comic medium with limited space

mushroom skull 💀🍄

“It isn’t about what I’ve done. It isn’t about my failures. Or my choices. It’s about their impact” - he’s misty-eyed here as he thinks back to Ostagar.. does this line btw seem almost meta to anyone else btw? :D it feels like a meta reference to the experience of DA players and PCs, who are always having to deal with the impacts of their choices

I wanna point out that I was right on reading issue #1, when I said “I’m positive that in panel 2 here, it’s the exact moment when he sees Cailan die” ;;

So Aaron is also a veteran of the Battle of Denerim

reference to the Hero of Ferelden - “Those were someone else’s battles”. I’m being captain obvious here but I can’t help but [heart pitter-patter] at any and all references to the HoF

I like the.. parallel? is that the word? Aaron’s stories were him trying to inspire people to make a change, or him trying to convince himself of that. and now here’s Vaea, inspiring Aaron with her words in these panels. the little guys can make a difference! in the world of Thedas, you don’t need to be a big bombastic hero or a Player Character to have an impact 

lmao Fenris right on cue. the moments of humor/light-heartedness are nice because they break up the tension and are sprinkled throughout without derailing build-up or taking away from dramatic story impact. yknow?

yeah Aaron!! leave it behind. leave it to rot with mr mushroom skull (and hey the mushroom skull was there for a reason). again tho if this is a death flag i 

Fenris straight down to business with the tactics

its cute how close Autumn has been sticking to Fran

Tessa checking in on Fran again, as she did in issue 1

Could Vaea’s “Well, shit” be an homage to Varric? :D they have met

I also wanna point out that I was right on reading issue #1, when I said “My guess is that the thing Tractus shows Marquette and Nenealeus is probably a chained up dragon or similar”

the poor dragon :’( big dragon the Qunari had in Trespasser vibes

the sword has a really cool design, kind of reminds me of something a samurai might be depicted wielding

👀 lore-drop! so ancient elven arcane warriors used lyrium-infused swords. this seems to confirm the sarcophagus is an ancient elven artifact, no? makes sense, wasn’t it said that the sarcophagus’ design was based on the architecture/outfit-design type elements of a specific faction, and that this was done intentionally? it looks kinda ancient elfy in make, right? also about the lyrium-infused swords of the arcane warriors, well well well.. remember that the Evanuris and the ancient elves mined the bodies of Titans for lyrium, for power and to use as a resource. here’s an example of that use

as I read through this portion I became increasingly concerned for my boy Shirallas.. we really are in it now aren’t we 😭

the Qunari are launching STRAIGHT-UP ROCKETS ohhhh

pretty ‘lightshow’ over the wall in the “Let’s hope the fortress is as secure as Danarius boasted” panel hh

protective older brother Fenris, impish younger sister Vaea. love that dynamic, we love to see it. sheepish and exasperated Fenris is so cute

the Bone Pit dragon fight with Hawke and co reference!

I wonder how long the dragon has been captive here, and how Danarius/Tractus was able to capture it

lore-wise what are the implications here? when Fenris’ ritual was being undertaken, the sword and the sarcophagus were bombarded with magic, fire spells. in this one they aim to have the dragon bombard it with fire-breathing. is it just fire that makes it work/powers it, or is there magic in dragonfire, in dragons? it reminds me of “Your heart beats with the old blood, as well. Where do you think it comes from? It sings of a time when dragons ruled the skies. A time before the Veil, before the mysteries were forgotten. Can you hear it?”

purple color for the dragon’s growling sounds/typeset is a great idea

lets.. goooo!!!!

Marquette is such a nerd. later on when he activates the sarcophagus he has mad scientist vibes

the dramatic reunion face-offs begin!! as the prophecy foretold!!!!1

true to form, Marius DOES have nothing to say ahahaha, even at this, his personal climax. maybe Marius dies in the next issue, but Tessa lives and gets to go back to Charter

these Venatori look almost Star Wars

Shirallas my boyy.. nooo... don’t do it 😭

ah ah ah! try casting magic with no ARMS

Francesca a beacon of blue light and goodness

the splash combat page is masterful. everyone playing a part, so much going on, everything happening at once. a thing that sticks out to me about it is Aaron’s outstretched hand and alarm as he watches Fran fall 

Autumn with her lil hackles raised

“The Venatori have returned” dun dun dunn

goodbye Shirallas 😭😭😭

the composition of the second to last page with triangle/diamond-shaped panels and the framing of dragon wings is awesome

the Dread Wolf rises, “the Tevinter Imperium will rise again”.. on-point on-point cohesion

there he is, the red wraith

Super Saiyan Shirallas

what a note to end an issue on

wow wow wow!!

and separate to the above, some speculation based on the cover of Issue 3: the piece of metal looks like a broken collar coming off Shirallas, like the one there was on the cover of Issue 2 coming off the dragon. also he’s all bulky now with draconic talons/claws (reminds me of in-world legends of Reavers who dug too deep of their own power after drinking dragon blood and whose bodies consequently began to manifest subtle reptilian traits actually). I’ll be interested to see what results of this allusion between Shirallas and the dragon!!

[xenolithium]

PruAme for the ship meme thing, you like PruAme, right? 🥺

Who reaches out to new neighbors?

They're both very sociable people, who have a lot to say to those around them. I suppose out of the two, Gil might be less likely to greet new neighbors, but only by the smallest of margins. He's a lot older than Alfred and not as big on being amazed by everything the world has to offer; so he's a lot less like a big dog who'd rush over wagging his tail, ready to talk to some new faces much like Alfred would.

Who remembers to buy healthy food?

Neither, they're both pretty shitty at this. Usually it takes a hot second for them to realize they only have cheese puffs and beer for dinner, before they're both like, yeah maybe we should've visited the produce section of our nearest grocery store for a bit longer than usual.

Who remembers to buy junk food?

Alfred. Alfred is usually the one buying everything they need. But he also buys everything they don't need as well. Gil picks out the booze.

Who fixes the oven when it breaks?

They'll work on it together. They're both pretty handy when it comes to fixing things. If one's not around, the other will do it, simple as that. It doesn't take them very long, maybe a couple minutes to figure things out and then they're back to burning the house down.

Who waters the plants/feeds their pets?

Alfred because Gilbert couldn't be bothered. They're all Alfred's any way, besides Gilbird. But he's usually looking after him too, especially since Gil loves to nap and sleep a lot. Or lounge around like the old fart he is.

Gil: "Did you just call me old?!"

Al: "No~"

Gil, picking up a decorative pillow: "Say that to my face!"

Who wakes up earlier?

It depends. Sometimes Gil will get up first if he's feeling particularly energetic, but otherwise they both sleep like the dead until Al gets himself out of bed, drags Gilbert with him and they go on their daily jog together.

Who makes the bed?

Gil, he's a complete and utter neat freak. Sometimes he cleans simply to calm his frazzled nerves. Meanwhile, Al isn't necessarily a slob, but he'll throw things around and tell himself that he'll get it later. This sort of annoys his boyfriend, who can't stand having clutter everywhere. Even if he handles it with a sense of humor by chucking Al's dirty underwear at his head while he's busy doing something.

Who makes the coffee?

Alfred, because Gil can't be bothered and why make it himself when his boyfriend does it without being asked? Problem solved.

Who burns breakfast?

Gilbert, he couldn't cook if he tried. He usually is only good at quick, simple things with limited ingredients, like something you'd eat if food was scarcely available. But otherwise, he has no idea what he's doing. Alfred, on the other hand, can at least cook something edible (when he wants to, that is.)

How do they let each other know they're leaving the house?

Sorry, what was that? Gilbert had to let Al know? Nah, he just leaves. He's fairly loud while doing it though and that's gotta count for something, right?

Al would kiss Gil awake, mumble what he was doing into his ear and get either swatted at or pulled into bed, by a horny, half awake, confused Gil who thinks it's time to get it on. Otherwise he'll announce it, or text Gil as he leaves so he can read it on his phone later.

How do they greet each other when one of them gets home?

Al will sneak up behind him, though Gil knows he's coming whether he wants him to or not. He just chooses not to react as he gets off his shoes and ends up with arms wrapped around his midsection. He'd kick Al playfully at this point, which usually starts up an assault of kisses on Al's end.

Gil will get up and greet Al in due time. Unless he's already at the door for some reason, he'll roll around on the couch like a turtle stuck on it's back before finally getting his ass up to act like a little shit and start hanging off Al, pinching him, kicking him in the shins, stealing his belongings and generally being a nuisance until they end up wrestling in Al's annoyance over his boyfriend's fight for attention.

Who brings home little gifts more often?

Alfred, pretty much always Alfred. He buys whatever games him and Gil wanna play together, he buys Gil random snacks he knows he likes or thinks he might like, clothes that would look good on him, stuff for Gilbird, whatever catches his eye and reminds him of his boyfriend.

Who picks the movie for movie night?

Gil because if Gil doesn't pick it and he doesn't like it, he has the attention span of a goldfish, so he'll turn to Al for amusement instead. Which usually causes Al to get fed up, because he just wanted to watch a movie, so in the end Gil always picks.

Their favorite kind of movie to watch?

Action/Adventure without any romance elements. They like to watch the cool fight scenes and explosions. They're both big kids, I swear.

Who first suggests a pillow fort?

Gilbert, mostly so he has another excuse to nap next to Al. Which Al doesn't mind, because it's a nice quiet moment between them which they fill with heartfelt chatter.

Who builds the pillow fort?

Al, he's practically a pro at it since he used to do it all the time with Matthew. Gil is good at destroying the fort though, for anyone interested in watching him ram into it like an idiot and knock blankets and pillows all over himself.

Who falls asleep first?

Gilbert, his head hits the pillow and he's snoring...loudly. But that's fine, Al's very similar. Their room sounds like two jet engines starting up simultaneously the moment they fall asleep.

Who's the big spoon/little spoon?

They switch it up, sometimes Gil wants to be cuddled from behind and sometimes he wants to do the cuddling and vice versa. They don't really favour either-or.

hawkeye squared for the otp meme please? 🥺

as usual, i feel i need to suggest the idea of Lin Manuel Miranda as Clint, though I just saw a gifset of Manny Jacinto, and he is ALSO a great option

What was their first impression of each other?

“WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?”“

As awful as it is, I LOVE them having their meet ugly when Clint thinks it’s a gangbusters idea to attack a teenager on a date in a carriage in central park. like. what a dumbass. also, both of them being all “I’m Hawkeye!” “no you’re not, I’m Hawkeye!”

What is their ship name?

Hawkeye Squared. It’s just cute. At some point they get asked (by a drunk Tommy, probably) what the square root of Hawkeye is, if it can be squared. Obviously, the square root of Hawkeye is Lucky the Pizza Dog

Describe their relationship dynamic.

two wrongs don’t make a right, but two competent individuals make a team of idiots.

I don’t know--they’re just so human with each other. They run with superpowered super special people, and that affects how they see themselves. I think they forget how breakable they are, and at the same time they’re really aware that they’re normal. (and maybe, they’d never admit it, feeling inadequate sometimes). With each other they get to be human, and they get the ordinary human stuff they have to deal with. 

They’re really competitive, but in a fun way. Their underlying competitiveness also makes them strive to be better. 

In some ways, their relationship is a meeting in the middle--Clint coming up, Kate coming down. Clint wants to be more together, less reckless, less one night stand with mob molls. Kate wants to be less...rich bitch. More aware of how money has made her life easier, how her life experiences aren’t typical. 

They each want to be more stable for the other, they just want to be there for each other. They’re both messes, but it’s better when they are messes together.

What was their relationship like before they got together?

Manatee and mento.

No no just kidding. Most of their friends and Avengers coworkers think they had a mentor/mentee relationship, but the only think Clint has mentored Kate in is how to get horribly injured.

That’s one of my favorite things about their relationship. Kate was Hawkeye completely independent of Clint. She was a team leader, she had her shit TOGETHER, but the instant she hung out with Clint for any length of time she transforms into a garbage can person. 

Their relationship trajectory is definitely idiots to friends to lovers. Their relationship status has been “in cahoots with” for almost as long as they’ve known each other. They’re just....their relationship is like Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara’s. Like, that’s not the dynamic, but it’s the feeling, you know?

They joke about being in love with/married/non-sexual life partners forEVER before one day it’s like “ha ha oh SHIT am I joking??”

How would they describe each other?

they each think the other is one of the best people they know. And that being together makes them want to be better. 

if Kate isn’t listening, Clint will absolutely admit she’s the better shot. NOT BY MUCH, but if he HAD to say, that would be his answer. She’s a total badass. He’s John Mulaney’s every monologue about Anna. “My partner is a bitch and i like her SO MUCH” “she does not give a shit what anyone thinks of her” “i’ve never been supervised before” “she’s my HERO”. Seven drink Clint will just talk about everything about Kate that he likes. Many, many Avengers can attest that this is a very long list.

If Clint isn’t listening, Kate will say that Clint is one of the best men she’s ever met, and he looks BANGING in a skirt. He wants so much to do the right thing and even if he gets it wrong he just keeps trying and how can you not be inspired by that? He inspired her to be better and kinder and try harder, and keep trying, keep fighting. There’s always someone to help. Being a hero isn’t just about stopping dictators bent on world domination or fighting aliens. It’s not always about the world. Sometimes it’s about your neighborhood, or your building. Sometimes it’s just saving a dog. Clint’s always reminding her that being a hero isn’t about the size of the heroing. It’s just about doing the right thing.

What do they love about each other?

everything they tell people about each other, lol. 

They love that they’re both superheroes, that they’re both Hawkeye. That they keep trying and keep trying. 

What do they have in common?

Coffee, dogs, cars, purple, arrows

What are some differences between them?

I feel like they both have weird ideas of what’s normal as far as childhood experiences, but while Kate’s tend towards “what do you mean you didn’t have a nanny and a fencing instructor and a music tutor” and Clint’s are more along the lines of “eat all the food because you don’t know where your next meal might come from”

Kate also takes better care of cars than Clint does. She’s also a better chameleon than Clint--she can blend into different scenarios better than he does. It helps that Kate likes doing it more than Clint does. 

What made them realize they were in love?

A million little things that added up to mean “I can’t imagine my life without you”. But probably when Kate bounced to LA after their Big Fight and they realized they did Not like being apart from each other. They didn’t call or text during that time and it was MISERABLE. They’re slightly codependent. They know it. It’s fine.

What are their love languages?

they’re actually really big on words of affirmation (i have to look up love languages every time i get to this question so i give actual love languages answers) it’s never big flowing speeches but they’re always telling each other “good shot” “good coffee” “you’re amazing hawkeye” “i know hawkeye” and physical affection of course. They’re very big on consent in all situations so Clint has taken to signing stuff like “wanna cuddle” “hey can i hold your hand” etc etc (steve and bucky see them do this and pick up the habit). physical affection also includes patching each other up when it’s not a hospital worthy injury

Do they get married? Who proposes and how?

eventually and on accident

they’re partners for YEARS and everyone thinks they’re banging, and then when they finally DO start banging nobody thinks they are. so they’re in this weird limbo of being in a healthy committed relationship that none of their peers know about despite seeing it all the time. 

so they accidentally get married for a job, or one of them is like “Fuck! i field our taxes jointly this year, we gotta get married!” (i have no idea how this mistake happened. Is Jarvis in cahoots with Jonas and Viv to set them up? Probably)

You know how Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves were like “wait, did we get for real married on the set of Dracula years ago?” like that vibe is also good. That Clint and Kate TECHNICALLY got married when she was like. twenty for undercover reasons. And never realized it. so they’re going to file paperwork and some poor wage drone is like “uh, we already have paperwork filed on a ms. bishop...AND a mr. barton” *frantic clicking* “uh, it looks like you’re already married???”

they have a fake fight over missing anniversaries. every single one of their friends has a moment of “why did hawkeyes happen to me”

they have a wedding that’s mostly just a huge party. Kate gets kidnapped by von Doom (he promised he would! they have a weird friendship) Billy and Steve fight over who is going to officiate. somehow eli wins. all of clint’s exes dance with kate. all of kate’s exes dance with clint. wade declares himself both groomsman and bridesmaid, staving off the inevitable fight of who “got” Wade (that Kate would have won, no sense in hurting Clint’s feelings, that’s Wade’s opinion)

the proposal happens after the wedding. they want to get the most bang for their buck, and they’re both petty little shits, so Kate “surprises” Clint with a proposal at some big snooty gala Derek Bishop is hosting. during the gala and the flood of paparazzi, they “accidentally” “escape” for a makeout sesh and “inadvertently” lead the press to evidence of Derek’s criminal activities. they get engaged and he gets arrested in the same night. it’s a very productive proposal.  

What would happen if they never met?

not an option. they always meet. even if a universe is missing one of them, the multiverse will find a way to make them meet, even for a short time. they represent something greater-than-self for each other, and they both need that. it’s easy for them to get tangled up in their depression, their ptsd, their mental health issues and feelings of inadequacy, but --

it’s like. “i’m not alone” there’s someone else out there. and some days it’s like, you know what, I bet he/she is fucking up my good name. I have to get up and do something. some days it’s like there’s someone else out there with my name. it’s okay for me to take a break and breathe. everything is going to be ok.

Who dies first? How does the other one react?

Kate, by thirty seconds TOPS. they die saving the universe, of course, and specifically an angry mama cat

they die sprawling next to each other, bleeding out, Clint internally, Kate externally. her blood haloes around her head and she’s talking to Clint, voice weak and it’s a miracle his hearing aids are still working, because as much as he doesn’t want to hear this he doesn’t want Kate to feel alone, and she’s saying how she’s scared and she can’t feel her legs and she flails an arm at him and he catches her hand, pressing kisses to her bloody knuckles

and then Kate stops talking, he can’t hear her breathing and she’s still, so still, and he drags himself closer to her carving in to what little time he has left on this earth and he doesn’t care, kisses her still-warm face, gently closes her glassy eyes. sobbing, he pulls her to him. “I’m right behind you, girly-girl.”

Are there any love rivals?

yes and no? I think Clint would consider Kate’s team as a whole a threat to his monopoly on Kate’s affections. But I also don’t see them being very monogamous all the time. I think they’d very easily and happily expand to a polyamorous relationship. they’re both such nerds about it, too. like, they KNOW the other is awesome, naturally everyone wants part of that awesomeness, and they deserve to have people in their lives who think they are awesome. 

they are also weirdly possessive in a lot of ways. at least, Kate is. Clint likes people claiming ownership of him, of belonging. Clint can belong to other people, but Hawkeye is hers. Because hawkeye is her, and hers, and it’s a tangled mess of ownership and pronouns but they get it, and everyone else leaves the weird Hawkeye stuff alone for the most part.

Describe your favorite moment of that ship!

moments of realization. when they realize they’ve been platonically married for YEARS and maybe they want to be....carnally married as well??? and then just. UST for MILES. Staring. looking away. staring again. getting caught staring! oh no! the terrible, horrible, gut churning moment of being found out, of “this won’t hurt our friendship or our working relationship, i swear, do you want me to leave?” followed by the other party suddenly barreling into them, initiating a frantic makeout and grinding sesh, the RAGE that they could have been doing this for how long???

What do other characters think about this relationship?

“so are you guys together for real now, or what?” and “lmao no you’re not fooling me again! nice try though.”

there are so many people who don’t believe they’re a for real couple. and to be fair, there was that once time they pretended to be a couple and did a registry and everything. i’ve said it before, though, that someone could walk in on Kate and Clint banging and just be like “huh. weird Hawkeye thing” and never once think “oh my god clint and kate are an item”

Kate could literally be pregnant with Clint’s baby, they could be buying a house together, they could be on the Newlywed show, and most of their friends and teammates will be all “psh, codependent much? you gonna paint the outside of the house purple or what?”

Describe or write a really fluffy scene!

honestly anything goopily domestic. the sigh of relief when they both drop their go-bags in the entry way and realize they’re home. slow dancing in the living room. Kate telling Clint to start a load of laundry, only he pretends he can’t see her signing, so she throws an orange at him. Clint’s being honored at some pompous thing he hates or Stark has him on stage for some Avengery thing and Kate signs obscene or funny things to him and he has to keep a straight face.

Describe or write a really angsty scene!

all about the hurt/comfort here

so this is a post-Battleworld kind of thing. Everyone’s been flung to different universes and 616 doesn’t exist anymore and nobody knows if their friends are dead, if they’re ever going to see them again. 

And Clint spots Kate (she’s bossing people around because she’s good at it, in every universe, he notes) but he’s not getting his hopes up. he’s seen a lot of Kates, and they’re all good, they’re all great, but they’re not his Katie-Kate, It’s not fair to compare every Kate in the multiverse to one single solitary Kate that he happens to like more than anything else, but screw fair, right?

Kate spots him. And she doesn’t really react, and Clint’s bracing himself to deal with Kate but not quite Kate, and they’re both making painfully polite small talk and he eventually says something about coming from 616 and it’s instantaneous, the change in her. “What the fuck did you just say, Clint? Clinton Francis Barton I swear to god if this is a joke--”

and it’s the Correct Kate, everything is good, great, wonderful, and then they get arrested for public indecency. 

Talk about a headcanon you’ve never talked about before.

I don’t have a lot of headcanons for them, tbh? their braincells are repellent to one another. put them together and they’re just idiots trying to make their way in the universe. 

oh! individually, they are so unlucky, but put them together and it kind of cancels out? their together jobs have the best outcomes. and their together jobs are how they acquire all sorts of random stuff. like an apartment building, a yacht, a Mars rover prototype, a child, a few extra spouses...

What does a typical date look like for them?

pizza, coffee, petting their dog and strangers’ dogs. takeout, stopping an armed robbery, cleaning up injuries, snuggling on the couch with popcorn or shave ice. they’re also working on a duo acrobatic routine in their spare time.

What’s a really significant moment in their relationship?

when Kate comes back. she leaves and it sucks, but she comes back and they don’t know where this is going, but they know their partnership is vital, and they’re going to make it work

(also when Clint let Kate drive the skycycle)
