The Fall and Rise of Orca: Orca Joins a Furry Gang Part 2
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Batman & Robin Vol 3 Issue #5 "School Daze."
Note: I missed a bit of info in Issue #4 that Damian suspected his school principal to be Shush, formerly Mistress Harsh, one of the trainers for him when he was being raised by his mother with the League of Assassins.
And now, back to our story already in progress:
Batman and Damian caught up with Orca, hoping to gain more information regarding Man-Bat's plans, though she was anything but cooperative, fearing Man-Bat's wrath should she give anything away:
Tumblr media
Okay, so apparently Orca being able to breathe and speak underwater is still a thing. I'll chalk it up to a parting gift from the late Lord Chondrakha/Kamo for helping out his son over in the King Shark miniseries until and unless another explanation is given. Her leaping and smashing abilities however are much more in line with what we've seen before.
Interestingly, this the first time Batman has used a variation on the famous "Let Me Help You!" line on Orca. Which I thought would've happened much sooner in either the New Earth or Rebirth continuities, but still. XD I personally think a fight between Orca and Man-Bat would be much more evenly matched than she realizes, though it would depend on the given terrain and other circumstances.
The fight ended shortly due to Daman's quick thinking and Orca was left to be arrested:
Tumblr media
I know last time she got fried by sound waves, but insert your "two nickels, weird that it happened twice" meme here. Also, thank you, Batman, for saying that about Orca being better than this, because it sure seems like the writer didn't. Ugh, more self pitying backsliding. I get so tired of seeing it because it's very shallow: it doesn't go into the real roots of her poor self esteem and it feels like whatever progress she makes falls by the wayside as a result in order to keep her in the position of sniveling goon. It's fine if they want her to remain a villain, but there has to be more going on then "poor me" for Orca to feel like an actual developed character. Also is this how she ended up in jail during the Punchline backup over in the Joker book? I don't know and it seems like the writers don't care to give any conclusion to that plot thread.
I'm really hoping this isn't the end of Orca's involvement in this storyline because it would just be another example of the writer not planning ahead, getting bored and rushing things. If you as the writer don't give care about you've set up, you can't expect your readers to either.
If Orca shows up again in this book, I'll make a part three. If not, I have a certain clip waiting to be used.
Bonus: Variant cover art for Issue #5 by artist Nikola Cizmesija:

Hi! I saw your requests are open and I would like to request something. The thought of Loki pretending to be someone else just to make sure the reader really liked him back is both sad and amusing at the same time. Can you make a short story or drabble based on that idea? Thank you so much.
I love this idea, so very much!! I think it would be funny watching him try to act like someone else, and also sad like you said that he would feel he needed to do that, soooo I'm gonna pick this up, and run with it!! 😁💚 thank you for the request!!
====================================
You can tell me
Pairing: Loki x gn reader
Warnings: touch of angst, self esteem issues, a dash of fluff. Loki being loki, mentions of alcohol
Summary: your a lab technician at stark tower, and with that you've grown close to the group of heroes, developing a massive crush on a certain God, little did you know he felt the same...
Tumblr media
You sat at the bar, nursing your drink contemplating why you came. Tony was infamous for his lavish parties, but you would rather be curled up on your couch watching a movie with your blanket. "Hey y/n, having fun?" You heard Bruce as he walked up. "I mean I guess, why did you invite me again?" You asked sipping your drink. "Because, you spend all day in that lab, you deserve a little fun." He said grabbing his drink. "If you say so." You sighed swirling your glass. "Come on, go mingle." He said nudging your arm. "Maybe in a bit." You said looking down. "Ok suit yourself." He said walking off.
Your eyes scanned the room, looking for the only person you wanted to talk to. Not seeing the raven haired man anywhere, you sighed waving at the bartender "he's probably already taken someone to his room." You said to yourself. "Hey, there you are." You heard Steve as he sat next to you. You looked up at him "heeey Steve, how are you?" You asked looking around, thinking he must be drunk, he hardly ever talks to you.
"Oh, you know, busy defending justice and all that." He said smiling. "Right." You nodded watching him. "So, having fun? See anyone interesting?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows. Yeah, he's drunk. "Oh, um yeah it's alright. Not really what I'm in to. Id rather be home on my couch." You laughed as he watched you. "Hmm, well, anyone you want to take to that couch with you?" He asked winking. You sighed "look, Steve, I'm flattered, but.." you started "No, No not me. Anyone.......else?" He asked leaning on the bar. You felt your cheeks heat up thinking about the man you would love to take home and have your way with. "Umm, not really no, well he's not here anyway so." You shrugged.
"Oh, there is someone. Come on, who is it?" He asked turning towards you. "Steve, I don't think.." you started "nonsense, you can tell me, I won't say anything, scouts honor." He said holding his hand up making you laugh. "Ugh alright. Well he's tall, the softest looking hair, and the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, he's charming and sweet, beautiful really." You sighed looking down "and a voice that could melt an iceberg." You said downing your drink. "Mmm sounds dreamy, does this charming man have a name?" He asked "mmm, I don't think I should say." You said looking at him "besides, he would never feel the same about me." You smiled sadly.
"You don't know that, your intelligent, witty, have a wonderful sense of humor, and you have a way of lighting up whatever room you walk into, any man would be lucky to have you as theirs." He said sternly. "Ha ha yeah ok." You rolled your eyes. "Y/n.." he started before he looked to the other side of the room. "I...uh have to go....I forgot I have to.....polish my shield. Can't fight for patriotism with a dirty shield." He saluted running off. "That was weird." You said sipping your drink. You sat there a bit longer, turning to scan the room. You saw Steve talking with Tony and Bruce, Natasha and Wanda were sitting on one of the sofas as you spotted Thor and Loki sitting on the other. You sighed, finishing your drink you pushed yourself up heading for the elevators.
"Hey kid, leaving so soon." You heard Tony ask. "Yeah, I'm gonna head out. Oh, Steve how's your shield?" You smiled remembering your conversation. "What do you mean? It's fine." He said furrowing his eyebrows. "You said you needed to polish it, remember?" You asked. "When did I say that?" He asked "earlier, when you were at the bar, you said...." you stopped as realization hit you, that wasn't Steve. "Will you excuse me please." You said leaving Tony and Steve.
You headed for the sofas, but Loki was gone. You scanned the room, standing on your toes searching through the sea of people when your eyes spotted his raven hair, ducking between people heading for the elevators. "Oh no you dont." You said as you pushed past everyone heading for the hall. You came out right in front of the hallway, not seeing Loki come out when you turned towards the elevator, seeing him in his black suit, frantically hitting the elevator button. You strode down the hall, determined to catch him before it arrived.
"Loki.." you said coming up behind him. You saw him freeze before turning around, offering you a huge smile. "Y/n, hello. How are you?" He asked. "Cut the crap, I know it was you." You said poking him in the chest. His smile fell slightly as he looked at you "I apologize for my deception y/n, but I needed to know." He said fidgeting with his hands. "Needed to know what?" You asked crossing your arms. "How you felt about me." He said, putting his hands in his pockets. "What, so you can mock me, tease me, tell everyone how pathetic I am?" You said beginning to pace the hallway. "Absolutely not, that is not why I wanted to know." He said stepping forward. "Then why Loki? Why would you humilate me? trick me into admitting I love you!" You yelled, slapping your hand over your mouth realizing what you said.
Loki stepped forward, staring into your eyes as the elevator dinged. "Nevermind, I'm going. Good night Loki." You said, feeling your eyes tear up as you stormed into the elevator, frantically pressing the button, watching Loki stand there staring at you as the doors closed. "God I'm such an idiot." You sighed to yourself as you reached the ground floor, heading to your car. You fiddled with your keys as you heard footsteps behind you "y/n, please wait." You heard. "Loki, I don't want to talk about it." You sighed turning around, not realizing how close he was.
"The reason I wanted to know how you felt about me, was to see of my feelings were reciprocated." He said bringing his hand up, cupping your cheek. "Wait, what?" You asked as he smiled. "I have longed for you for sometime, your the only reason I go to that dingy lab." He said sliding his hand to your neck. "Why didn't you just ask me?" You said looking at him. "I was...afraid I may have been wrong." He sighed looking into your eyes. "Y/n, would you allow me to court you?" He asked grabbing your hand with his free one. "You, want to court.....me?" You asked staring at him. "If you'll have me, yes." He said stepping closer, his nose inches from yours. "Umm...I'd like that very much Loki." You said smiling.
You saw his eyes flicker to your lips and back, as he closed the distance, pressing his lips softly on yours. You turned your head, deepening the kiss, running your along his bottom lip, sliding your tongue in as he parted his lips. He moaned into your mouth as your fingers laced through his hair, slightly tugging. Pulling apart for air you looked into eachothers eyes "so, wanna come sit on my couch with me?" You asked "I would love nothing more." He said, pecking your lips climbing in the car. "Oh, and you really need to work on your impression of Steve, I thought he went crazy." You laughed starting your car. "Noted." He said laughing.

Toji ramblings because I realized that I'm allowed to do other stuff besides drawing lmao
you know, I have this impression that Toji's trauma is slightly different from regular PTSD or being abused
because (at least, as far as I know) people who were abused, especially by their family members, usualy have self-esteem issues
Toji, though, does not have any... It seems, he's fully aware of his strengths and weaknesses. And, damn, he IS a professional (a gentle reminder that Toji does not see cursed spirits, and yet his fight with Geto in premature death arc?? omg)
so, Toji is a confident, self-aware man
however!!
he'd never known that he's worthy of love, just like any other human being (maybe even more so in some ways), until he met Mamaguro. So, he'd just accepted the fact that love and emotional bonds are not for him
I think that he doesn't feel any longing or craving for close relathionship with someone
he's a lone wolf lmao
maybe he's even cynical???? But, honestly, I believe that he just never cares to think about deep stuff like that
and dammit, I'm trying to put myself in his shoes rn, and the only thing I can think about is that he probably wanted to die, quickly and painlessly
preferablly, in a fight
he's just... too lazy to unalive himself
so, he just exists, waiting for it all to end
but then Mamaguro came into his life and showed him that he can live and love living
and then she died.............
and everything came back to how it had been
and yet!!!!! she changed him!!!
no, he's not the best person in the world, he's far from it, really
his morals are still ugh..... debatable...
but he started to??? be more sociable?? can I say that??
idk, to my mind, he just started to care more...
I think, he hadn't even been that close to Shiu before he met Mamaguro(((
and his meeting with Megumi in the recent episode??? I'm gonna explode
so, yeah, he's so precious((
actually, he's giving me the vibe of someone with a fucked up family who thinks, "holy shit, I'll never become a parent because I don't want to traumatize my child"
but his wife was amazing and everything COULD work out perfectly if only she hadn't died T-T
they would be so freaking happy, it's killing me((
and I really can't stop thinking about the fact that Toji is a person who is SO worthy of being loved, cherished and appreciated...
and he had a chance to receive all this support and care(( but life had to fuck it up by killing his wife, thank you very much
just fucking imagine, he was living in literal hell with the Zenins, then, he met the love of his life and finally became happy, and then)) he was robbed of his happiness and was sentenced to living in misery again
AND THEN THEY FUCKING KILLED HIM. TWICE!!!!!!! I fucking can't I caaaaan't
and he died just because he remembered to have an ego and some fucking ambitions. like a normal person, you know
I don't know, I just want to hug him??????? so bad??????????
he deserves the whole world and I stand by that even if he's rude and wrong, I really don't care
⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄☆
anyway, feel free to ignore, I have a fever, I'm sad and English is not my first language, so yeah.... have a nice day, everyone

I.S.B.T.P.K.F.T.S moments (chapter 3)
fic link written by @tavtarnish. this is gonna be a long one so buckle up beeches (affectionately) or don't, I can't tell you what to do.
Ok I missed one (1) very important thing from last chapter. Ghost touching him/his hair
~ like COME ON, soap, my boy, suds, shampoo... you are so oblivious to ghost's pining. WHO else does that man touch?! Hmm? I'll wait... no I won't, because it's NOBODY! And here he is with his grubby (affectionate) little fingers in YOUR hair. And you're so BLIND to it. Like !!!!! Please !!!!
Anyway thank you for coming to my tedtalk. I'm so normal about them as you can see.. no I'm not. I'm so down bad for them being down bad for eachother. It's not even funny
chapter 2 chapter 3
"Soap never claimed he was a saint"
~ there's so much in the first paragraph but this stood out way too much for me to not mention it first. like of course he isn't a saint, nobody is... but the way it's said. it's a completely factual statement, nothing emotional about it. it's then followed by "nor did he pretend to be one." which is simply another factual statement. just words, but then again it's not exactly rare that facts can hurt more than some lies. /but/ on the flip side if you took those words and gave them to someone, "soap, you were never a saint." well those words are emotional. they're meant to hurt, meant to strike a nerve. and then you take that second half and make it a response, "and I never claimed to be one." then that turns into a deflection. like jerking your arm when you hit your funny-bone. a sort of desperate attempt to fix...something. maybe that's why it stands out to me. because it hurts but... i don't think he meant for it to hurt him. maybe it was just a fact but then the hurt kinda came as an afterthought like, 'oh that made me feel kind of not good slightly and idk why'
~ yes I'm giving this point two parts. because i have two thoughts on it that kind of connect but only vaugely. this is also the RSD, and again logically of course he isn't. I think it also does or could lead in 2 different directions. 1) of course he isn't, so why even try to be. right? or 2) well yeah maybe he isn't, but maybe he could have tried harder to be like one or a little less unsaintly. i need to emphasize that these two points can coexist at the same time (tbh im like 70% sure this would be a form of executive dysfunction. where you know that you can/should do something, but you can't make yourself) im also swinging back to those self-esteem issues, because those go hand in hand. like even just the comparison in it of itself. a saint, a holy figure, compared to a 'selfish' military man. there is no comparison if you are weighing guilt. it's a stone vs a feather, the feather is by nature lighter than the stone. and it'd take a lot more feathers to make one kg (I kinda wish america would just switch to metric) than it would stones. anyway im 100% sure I read too far into this
Soaps want (need) to be near ghost almost constantly
~ i honestly don't know why this happens but anytime I become really attached to someone I just want to touch them. not in a weird way, just gotta make that clear. but more like slinging an arm across their shoulders, or using them as a foot/head rest, or playing footsies. im very aware that this often can read as flirtations but thoes really aren't my intentions. I feel like this is the same way for soap. I know that their relationship is romantic but I feel like this definitely is not soap flirting or anthing like that. I think this is just soaps brain being like 'yes this is a good person, must touch, be close'.
soap's subsequent need to be far away from ghost right now
~ it's so damaging to himself that it reached through he screen and punched me in the face. placing price and/or gaz between him and ghost? ugh that hurts. and then on top of that he feels like it's selfish? like baby no. please be nice to yourself, ghost cares about you. he cares about /you/ not Sergent Mactavish.
him just wanting that feeling to stop
~ that tightness in his chest that he feels, almost like shame or disgust at himself. the way that it squeezes tighter whenever he sees ghost. and the way that he gaslights himself into thinking that pulling away will make that feeling go away, even tho he knows it won't.
~ adding this as a separate thing under the same point bc idk how to label it. metaphors and emotions don't mix with logic and physics. because they're not tangable. they're harder to grasp, harder to understand. they're slippery, and hard to explain. and somehow you just know that you can't fix them the same way you fix a broken vase. how usually the most logical way to fix and heal them is not glue, or gold, or tape, or anything else like that. you can't just stick them together and hope that it fixes itself. you can't even simply scrap them and get another. sometimes the best way to fix them is to not do anything at all. and sometimes it's to run away. and sometimes you can't fix them. and maybe this was poorly explained but the point is: logic and emotions are opposites, you cannot fix one the same way you do another. maybe that's why Soap is running away 'pulling the knot tighter' hoping that it'll unravel itself.
HE SAID IT!!!!! HE SAID THE THING!! HFJDHFJDKSJ
~ "god forbid he disappointed his superior" he said thought that. he's acknowledging the RSD without even realizing it. and he doen't even knwo why. he wonders what changed, where his opposition for authority went. where that idgaf attitude went. it didn't go anywhere. it's that this time it's Ghost. not any other lieutenant, it's /GHOST/. and it matters because ghost is important. ghost matters to him. he cares about ghost. about what ghost thinks.
can we just talk about this man punching an MP officer for a second?
~ like the SoapGhost shipper in me wants to think that it was because the officer was talking smack about Ghost (logically that I know that it isn't true in canon or this fic, but still, I can dream right?). a part of me thinks it'd be funny if the officer was insulting his (fabulous) hair, even though I don't really think it fits his character. a very hopeful part of my brain says he did it because the officer was saying something sexist or racist or homophobic or something of that nature. because I fully believe that he would have a reaction like that to that kind of situation.
~ also just casually locking said MP officer in his own car?? first of all, I guess what else would you do in that situation. second of all, i just know he had such an adrenaline rush from that, i'd pay to see a video of that. him maybe with a bunch of buddies, all running from the scene of the crime, the camera angle is shaky and bouncing up and down cus the camera-man/woman/person is running away too.
the way he's acutely aware of the fact that he's treating Ghost differently
~ back to the sads now. his relationship with ghost is unique to anything else he has with anyone else. he's so finely attuned to ghost himself, it's crazy, INSANE even. I just know that he /loves/ his dynamic with the man. and yet it makes it /that/ much harder for him to act 'normal' around him.
~ also the way he is vehemently denying his feelings for Ghost. and when i say denying I don't mean the kinda "no I'm not interested in my superior, bla bla bla". I mean the kind where he knows and accepts his feelings, but at the same time won't allow himself to feel those feelings.
soap doing the bare minimum of not overworking himself, and ghost watching him
~ that burning urge need to do something, anything that keeps his mind occupied. the way he has to find a proper balance between pushing himself, and not getting sat on his ass in medical. i can feel in my bones that he feels like what he is allowed to is not enough, that's why he goes back to that nervous tic of scratching at his fingers. you could argue he could do something like paperwork or whatever (what do military people do? idk) but it's just... different. it /has/ to be physical work.
~ the way ghost is so worried about him, is watching him. but the way it feels like he's being scrutinized. like he thinks ghost thinks he's incapable of his job. the way he just wants ghost to stop looking at him. the way it sparks an irrational rage in soap, even though he know he shouldn't have any reason for the irritation. (hint hint im like 99.9% sure that this means he's irritated with himself... if my own experiance is anything like this)
it was. it was at himself...
~ the feelings of inadequacy. that's all I have to say. and the anger at himself. all those things he did wrong...
the way he has to rationalize with himself
~ he definitely feels like a PoS. he is not, let's just make that clear (yes I refer to myself in the plural... im actually just several rats). logically he knows that he is a fantastic soldier, but everybody has those days where you just don't feel like it. where you have to force yourself out of that mentality with cold hard facts, to ease your mind.
AGAIN WITH THE REFUSAL TO BANTER
~ yes im making a big deal of this. because its basically the foundation of their relationship. so to see that not happening, is like watching the house from disney's encanto start to show cracks and not be fixed. JEBUS CRIMMNEY SHAMPOO!! YOUR BOYFEE IS NOT MAD AT YOU!!!
the way ghost interacts with soap, and also the hurt
~ the way ghost pulls his hands apart, to stop him from scratching his hands raw. the way he's so gentle with soap makes me just wanna gahjhafgrryhujnfhg. and the uncomfortable silence bc soap doesn't know how to act around ghost anymore. and then the way ghost checks up on him? because he cares about him. but- but- but the way soap hears ghost use his rank instead of his name. it's so normal and yet it still hurt for some reason. and i think it's because he was more or less prepared for himself to change or act different. but he wasn't prepared for ghost to change how he acts around soap (even though he wasn't /really/ acting differently, it just felt like it). and i think maybe soap wasn't fully prepared for the consequences of how changing himself would also make ghost react differently. idk if i worded that in a confusing way, but i don't know how else to say it.
~ the way he knows in a logical sense that ghost wasn't treating him any differently. he's able to push the hurt down, to compartmentalize it.
the way his responses are short and clipped
~ he's trying to get away from the conversation, away from ghost, as fast as he can. the way he clams up, giving only 1-2 word answers.
the way ghost makes an effort to keep conversation with him
~ soap obviously thrives on social interaction, especially with ghost. and now he's all of the sudden just refusing to speak to him? suspicious...
the way he also hates how ghost calls him johnny
~ like he can't decide weather he wants ghost to treat him the same or not. because it just makes it so much harder for him to control himself. because now ghost obviously isn't mad at him, and that makes it /so/ hard for him to be different. if ghost was mad at him, then that gives him a very obvious motivation to change.
using his injury as an excuse for acting different
~ he knows that they are both very aware of the fact that it was a shit excuse. he feels guilty lying to ghost and it just- ugh- gfujadhskuhagfh
the way he doesn't really remember what happened but ghost clearly does
~ ghost was/is so worried about him. but because he's so emotionally repressed (relatable) it comes off as anger or some other negative emotion (attitude?). it especially does with soap's current mindset, which only makes it worse.
soap getting lost in ghost's eyes
~ because even if he's supposed to be sergent mactavish, that doesn't mean he isn't still johnny or john 'soap' mactavish. which means he's still got thoes feelings for ghost, and he can indulge himself for a moment.
the last paragraph (idk how to describe it accurately)
~ the way the entire situation has him confused, at ghost's actions towards him, how he's supposed to be around price and gaz vs ghost. and the frustration at himself to just act how he wants to, and to feel how he's supposed to. and ghost's refusal to tell him anything about what happened, and why ghost won't just act like a lieutenant towards him. and how he can't manage to act right no matter who he's with.
sorry if this last bit feels rushed, this has been sitting in my drafts unfinished for... *checks notes* THREE WEEKS?!? oops... well it's here now :]

MXTX Characters Mental health CHECK ✅
Just had this sudden thought that how majority of MXTX characters have some kind of trauma ,that they carry so much emotional baggage. To state a few like PTSD,Low Self esteem ,Low Self worth, Abandonment issues,Guilt etc.
Just a gist of characters I remember
TGCF: We already know who is going to top the list.
Xie lian(🥺) ,our cute mantou didn't deserved all that. Donghua always makes me forget about the first introduction of Xie Lian tumbling down the hill and downplaying his injuries when FY and NF inquire about his state.
Us worshipper's Hua Chengzu whose always so bold and confident but is a baby at heart.
You cannot stop me into believing that Feng Xin doesn't suffer from Abandonment issues, since the only two people he was loyal to ended up shooing him away(the circumstances but ugh).
Mu Qing is a pro when it comes to Overthinking and believing everyone dislikes him. I won't be astonished if he pops more such surprises here and there.
Beefleaf I cannot just comment on that 🤐 I don't have words to describe them.
Junwu!! Lan Qianqiu ,Yinyu??
MDZS: Wei Ying, Lan Zhan ,Lan Xichen, Jiang Cheng, Jin Ling, Xiao Xingchen, Song lan, Wen Ning?
Should I include Old Man Lan?? But he is ailed by a different trauma altogether 🤪
SVSSS: I think original Shen jiu hits the top place here despite his objectionable behaviour ,I do believe he is a very traumatic character.
Luo Binghe our demon Princess
Yue Qingyuan, Zuzhi lang? I don't know but I really feel sympathy for baby snake boy.
(I cannot seem to recall much characters from SV🤔 but hey I think its a good sign!)
Author-Nim I love and worship your works but please send your characters to a healing school !

Okay... its a Two in one Tuesday because I absolutely love this chapter an I will physically pass away if I don't post it today
SIREN'S SONG
Chapter 10: Can't Help Falling in Love because you're my Lover
Paring: Rooster x OC Captain Harper Ann "Siren" Mitchell
Warnings: Mentions of Ejection, injuries, cursing, drinking, self esteem issues, body insecurities. Jake "Hangman" Seresin... yes Hangman gets his own warning. Minor smut. 18+ Minors DNI
Bonus warnings: so much fluff. Soft boy Rooster and even soft boy Hangman. Also Maverick be such a girl dad... ugh the feels
A/N: This chapter is inspired by Taylor Swift's "Lover" and the Song "Can't Help Falling in Love" originally by Elvis, how ever the 2017 Haley Reinhart cover is referenced in the story. I am not going to lie... I cried writing this chapter.
" Harper stand still or this veil is going to go right into your skull!" Penny said trying to help her eldest daughter get ready. "I'm sorry mom I'm just so nervous." Harper replied smoothing down the front of her wedding dress looking in the mirror. "You have nothing to worry about. Today is going to be magical!" Penny said giving her a hug. "Alright honey. I am going to go get your father for your first look. "Tasha, Callie, and Amelia can you guys please make sure the groomsmen are ready. 30 minutes until showtime!" Penny clapped her hands ushering everyone out of the bridal suite. Harper and Rooster both being very traditional chose not to do a first look with each other, but Harper wanted to do one with her father. She walked back over to the mirror and looked at herself. Her dress was beautiful and elegant. A sweet heart neck line with some off the shoulder straps, and an a line skirt that bloomed out, and a train that was elegant. The dress had beautiful lace and pearl beadwork on it. Her hair was pulled up in a low, classic, yet messing bun with curled pieces framing her face. Her make up was simple yet elegant. She was wearing Penny's cathedral length veil, the one she wore when she married Maverick, as her something old. She had a piece of one of Roosters old blue Hawaii shirts sewn into her dress as her something blue. Her something borrowed was a pair of pearl earrings that Ameila had lent her because they looked amazing with her dress. And her father was coming with her something new.
Harper heard a knock on the door and her father call to her. "Come in dad." She called her eyes not leaving her reflection. "Oh Honey, you look... breath taking" the senior Mitchell said coming up to her. Maverick had tears in his eyes as he pulled her in for a hug. "I can't believe my baby girl is getting married" he whispered trying not to lose it. "Don't get soft on me now old man" Harper joked punching her dad in the arm.
"I have something for you... well two somethings actually. First where is your bouquet?" Maverick asked. Harper walked over to the table and grabbed it for him. Maverick quickly fashioned something around it and then showed her. "It's a bouquet charm. There's Goose, Carole, and"... he trailed off "Charlie." Harper whispered finishing his sentence. "I will never know why she decided not to be a part of your life doll, but I know she would be proud of the woman you have become. If you want I can take her picture off..." Pete said reaching for it. "No. I want a part of her to be here. She may have not been there for me. But I know she loved me because she gave me to you. And you are the best dad anyone could have asked for." Harper said with tears in her eyes.
"One more thing. Turn around" Maverick instructed. He pulled a small box out of the pocket of his dress whites. He then pulled a thin rose gold chain with three diamonds on it out and placed it around her neck. Harper gasped. "Dad... it's beautiful." She cried turning around to hug him.
"Knock, Knock" Penny called coming in there room. "Everyone ready?" She asked. The Mitchell's nodded their heads. Maverick held out his arm for his daughter to take. "Come on kid... let's go get you hitched.
The church was full of friends, family, and navy officials. At the alter the bridesmaids looked beautiful in their maroon dresses while the groomsmen were decked out in their dress whites. Rooster rocked on his heels. "Breath dude everything is going to be fine. The ring is secure" Jake whispered trying to calm his friend down.
"All rise for the bride please" the pastor called. Everyone in the church stood. Soon Haley Reinharts version of "Can't Help Falling in Love Began" Omaha and Yale opened the double oak doors and there at the end of the aisle stood the most beautiful woman Bradley had ever seen. Harper began her walk down the aisle with Maverick escorting her. She wishes she could say she saw everyone as she walked down the aisle but her gaze was transfixed on Bradley in his dress whites waiting for her at the other end. Rooster couldn't help but tear up. Jake passed him a tissue as he wiped a few of his own tears away. Harper seemed to glide down the aisle beeming at him. She was breath taking, glowing even. The most perfect thing he had ever seen.
"Hi" She whispered taking his hand as Maverick gave her away. "Hi beautiful" he whispered back. The ceremony was beautiful. The vows the two had written for each other brought both laughter and tears. Harper promise to always care for Rooster and to never tell him he had too many Hawiian shirts in the closet. Rooster vowed to always be there for Harper and promised to always serenade her even if she was mad at him. They placed the rings on each other's left hands and then
"By the power vested in me by our Holy Lord and the State of California I now pronounce you Husband and Wife... Captain Bradshaw, you may kids your bride!" The pastor declared. Rooster wasted no time pulling Harper close and dipping her for the perfect first kiss as a married couple. The church erupted in applause, cheers, and tears as The Bradshaw's made their way down the aisle.
The reception at the Mitchell-Bradshaw wedding was one for the books. There was beer, whiskey, and Dirty Shirlies flowing freely. The food was amazing and the DJ kept everyone on the dance floor. However the DJ did take a break so Rooster could lead everyone in a round of "Great Balls of Fire" and so Harper could deliver a touching rendition of "Lover" to her new husband. Harper and Maverick had an emotional father daughter dance to "My Girl" and Penny even danced with Rooster. When it came time for the bouquet toss, Phoenix was totally caught off guard. She was purposely trying not to catch it when it literally feel in her hands much to her chagrin. The garter toss was a totally different story... Rooster being the cocky bastard be was had the DJ play "Pony" as he crawled under Harper's dress and took off her garter with his teeth. No one could tell who was more embarrassed in the situation, Harper, Maverick, or Bob. The rest of the men howled with laughter and slapped him on the back. As Rooster threw the garter, Jake practically tacked Coyote to the ground to make sure he caught it because he would be damned if anyone else did considering his woman caught the bouquet and he was planning on popping the question next month.
After cake, a few more rounds of drinks and a hilarious cha cha slide the guests began to fizzle out. At the end of the night. Bradley and Harper planned to have a final private dance together. The happy couple found themselves gently swaying to Etta James' "At Last"
"I love you Mr. Bradshaw" Harper sighed against her husband
"I love you more Mrs. Bradshaw." He replied smiling at his wife.
By the time the couple reached their hotel room, they couldn't keep their hands off one another. Harper had helped Bradley out of his dress whites. He then began to meticulous unbutton each one of the pearl buttons that ran down the back of Harper's wedding gown. He loosened her hair and ran his hands through it as she too off her jewelry. All she was left in was a white lace set she had picked out just for tonight. Rooster picked up his bride and placed her on the bed. He began to kiss her whole body as she mewled as gasped beneath him. Harper was holding onto anything she could to keep herself grounded as he worked his mouth between her thighs.
She came with a breathy gasp of his name and a racing heart. When he pushed into her, she swears it was like the first time all over again. He was slow, gentle almost as if he was afraid of breaking her. They made slow tender love into the night. Hands roaming bodies. Lips crashing together. Praise and decorations of love filled the room. "Bradley.... baby.... I'm so close" Harper breathed against his neck. "Me too. I've got you baby just let go" he whispered against the shell of her ear.
Bradley then did something unexpectedly tender. He grabbed Harper's left hand and intertwined it with his. He then gently rubbed the two bands that he had placed there with the promise of forever. That simple action was all she needed to fall over the edge and take her husband with her. It was easily the best and most powerful orgasam either of them had ever had. As they came down from their high Rooster attempted to withdraw from his wife. "Nooo." Harper pleaded securing her legs around him. He looked down at her and God she just looked so beautiful. Her hair was fanned out over the pillow, her lips we pink and swollen. Her eyes glassy and she had a lazy smile on her face... who was he to deny his wife what she wanted.
Without saying a word Rooster rolled them over to their sides where they could both be a bit more comfortable. He stayed inside his wife and pulled her closer. He tucked her under his chin. And just before she drifted off he heard her say "I love you my Husband."
"I love you too my Wife" he replied back before sleep found both of the Bradshaws, peaceful and content.
Please excuse me while I go ugly cry!

BL ~ Drama Asks
I got tagged by @pose4photoml! Thank you!
1.     If you had to watch one drama forever what would it be?
Utsukushii Kare. My Beautiful Man. Or Tossara. It's a toss up for me because, as a non-rewatcher, I'd... probably just not watch stuff? But if I had to try, it'd be one of those two.
2.     If you could change the ending of a drama which one would it be?
My Gear and Your Gown. I've actually rewritten this entire series to make it better several times on here, good luck finding them with tumblr's algorithm but they do exist! I really think there was potential in this show but it needed better pacing, damnit.
Enchante. Oh, Enchante. I would just change the ending but boy would I change that ending.
Plus & Minus. Absolutely would change, like, the last three episodes and the resolution of the issues and it could have been so, so good.
My Extraordinary. Fuck that ending.
3.     Name your favorite drama and tell who your favorite character was.
Utsukushii Kare and Hira is my darling baby of low self-esteem and no self-worth.
4.     Name a drama you dropped within the first few episodes ~ we all have at least one!
Chasing Sunsets turned out to not be a BL and to not... have anything happen in two episodes so I dropped that one. Also My Chinito Prince was just... not good, though I do think I made it to episode four? B X J Forever, I watched one episode that was free, realized I didn't want to watch more, read a summary at the end and felt real good about not bothering. Beloved Enemy just... wasn't for me.
5.     Name a popular drama you've never watched and why?
I Told Sunset About You. Too serious, too real, not exactly escapism. Very gorgeous. May someday try it. Still haven't bothered. Uh. I mean, I otherwise basically watch everything BL and especially popular things.
6.     Name a drama you regret watching.
Fish Upon the Sky. Ugh. Uh. In some ways, KP? Mostly for the fandom. Limited Edition was horrible and had nothing redeeming in it and then had the audacity end with a ooooh he had cancer and you don't know if he's alive or dead?!?! oh, fuck off with that. Also, My Extraordinary. What a show with potential that just went NOPE.
7.     Name a drama you thought you’d never watch but did and did you end up liking it?
Addicted Heroin. @absolutebl takes complete blame for this, FYI. I was never planning on watching it because it was unfinished, they talked it up, I watched and I did end up adoring it, unsurprisingly.
8.     Name a pairing you want to see?
Uh. I dunno? I definitely want a BL about a zookeeper and someone else working at a zoo? Can that count for my answer? I don't know enough about actors to talk about this.
9.     Name a pairing you didn’t think had chemistry?
Dun and Bas. Dun and Bas who the fuck let these two men brand pair together and star in multiple seasons of a show!??! Who's idea was that and how do I punish them?
Also, what the fuck is going on in Sky in Your Heart? Dude. Just... get away from each other, please.
10.  Name a pairing you have seen in another drama that you like?
Sorry, I don't watch enough non-BL or just... in general? I dunno. This one is a mystery to me.
Do it if you wish! If you see this and wanna, consider yourself tagged?

Are you also getting rid of the attraction to the guy you like at work or in the neighborhood? There is no difference between this.
To me it is a difference because guy from neighborhood is more.. ,,real" option. It's not like zero chances for relationship then. But yeah, I usually wait till it will pass because I know it's not returned. My whole love life is some weird and also toxic guys hitting on me and me avoiding them or it's me crushing on someone who's very different from me, who has the features that I wish to have. Jungkook is from the same pattern. I always crush on rebels with unique style who are confident and bold. Why? Because I suffer anxiety for ages, my individuality was dimmed by my strict, judgmental family and i used to blend with crowd to avoid conflicts. The rural opposite of JK or any of my crushes. But what I mean, no, I'd give it a try with a guy who showed any signs of interest but they never did. Another obstacle are my trust issues and low self esteem after being bullied for ages and two of my crushes actually making fun of my interest in them. I actually talked with me therapist about guts ,,like Jungkook" and.. honestly? I'd think that someone like him would make fun of me if he showed interest in me (not literally JK 😂 so calm tits, others here, it's just theoretical). He kinda scares me. He's intimidating to me because he doesn't seem to give a f. about things, like he never had anything to loose, especially in love and his skills in many things make him have advantage over others. It's like facing Goliat when I'm clumsy myself. And you're right. First method was to avoid it but it didn't work. But bathing in those feeling is not good but I remember when i tried to accept it and admit it and I felt like it's getting more intense again. I felt enamored again when I watched his fancams. It's his eyes.. Whatever. I don't want to go deeper with it and simply watch content with him like nothing happened because then I'll be thinking about him for days again and I want him to leave my freaking brain. 😮‍💨 That's why I assumed he uses some love spells on himself to attract people because it's.. just sick. I guess direct spells take your brain away and you're unconscious of it but maybe he uses some general attraction spells or he wears some talismans to attract love. I dunno man. I want to feel indifferent and I feel i do, like today it's more neutral. Fucks knows what will be next week. Ugh.
Are you really afraid to feel all this because it will be in your head or are you uncomfortable that you are in love with someone? If (well, you've already told your story, so I'll use the available information) your relationship with the guys was not very good, and that moment about the fact that they mocked your feelings for them is quite a painful experience. Are you sure that everything is fine in this regard? Do you give yourself the right to love someone or do you now have "I shouldn't do this/feel this" in all your emotional experiences? Because, as I said earlier, it seems to me that there is a problem with you with yourself. I didn't write it down, yes, because I didn't have time, I'm sorry. You are aware that all your feelings are only yours. You don't owe anyone anything, it's just yours. You can feel and want whatever you want. The opinion of those stoned jerks should not be considered as the only true one. It's wrong.

Two bad beats?
Ok, I guess it was all bravado.
Went with Sadie to the charity card tournament on Thursday. Was doing fine until I was all in with three others pre-flop. I had AA, a private equity analyst with distracting hoop earrings had 5d7d, and some wealth management witch, who had been chipping away at me all night, never showed. Hoop earnings rivers a straight. FML.
Sadie and I left early so I couldn't lunge across the table in a tornado of chips.
The night only got worse as we run into Camera Boy again, in town visiting a friend before the start of NY Fashion Week. I was trying to be my regular hilarious self and, aided with a couple vodka martinis, I make a comment about him stalking me. I catch him adoringly off-guard. Feeling, for the slightest of seconds, like the coolest girl in the room, it all comes crashing down as Sadie invites him to join us. I think this is when the doctors in the botched surgery that is my life, would have marked the time of death. I've already said all the cool things that I know to say, so his impression of me will only get worse.
Anyways, we get to talking about beauty, and I hang on every word. No matter how I awkward I feel, I want all the tea. Skinny models. High fashion. Diva Designers. This man has seen it all. And it's my catnip. He goes on about confidence, and how it's his job to help his subject find their truth, help them find themselves, so he can get the most out of them. And then they're talking about me, Sadie, that bitch, and Camera Boy, evaluating my life and what I need. Sadie maintains that I just need to get fucked. And his conclusion is that I should do a shoot with him.
Then basically, Sadie roars with laughter, labeling me a prude, and a stick in the mud, and that there is no way I'd so something like that.
And of course, buried in an amazing amount of drunken delusion, I ignore any good sense that I think I have (and still stinging from that earlier bad beat and not wanting to be beat again) I accept.
And then he's gone in a flash leaving me with his card and instructions to arrange with his assistant a time for the shoot.
Of course, Sadie played me like a violin. She's a virtuoso. Of course she knew I'd take the bait, as long as she challenged me openly.
I mean, I honestly don't feel like he's trying to get into my pants. So does that mean that I believe he's being sincere? That he just wants to help me find my truth? And then I start to spiral.
My mind is now churning, cycling between shame, embarrassment, guilt . . . where is the girl from four days ago that was shouting to the world that she was all free and liberated from paralyzing self doubt and self-esteem issues? Where is the girl that wrote off a drunken mistake as a "new me". Ugh. Why do I do this to myself?
In between trying to stop myself from calling Jac on her honeymoon for Irish Lad's number to unload what is sure to be a monumental amount of self-loathing on a boy who just needed a moment's respite from his own heartache, I've been practically burning with cringe for the last few days . . . I can't even control it.
God, can't I even enjoy one night without self-flagellating myself? Was this supposed to be a moment? A turning point? I'm beginning to feel less so, but does it have to be a low? It was fun, right? I discovered something, right? I came, right?
And what am I going to do about this Camera Boy mess? Calling him Camera Boy is just my way of trying to get some footing back. He's no boy and he's going to see right through me. He's going to take his fancy shots with is fancy camera and the only thing that's going to show up on film is a dumpster fire.

ma'am I am breaking my vacation from Tumblr just to plop in and say (or better ask) 'how does one simply stop listening to "so much (for) stardust?' because that's all I have been listening the past 30 minutes.
in conclusion, I finally got to listen to the new album of fall out boy (yesterday was dedicated to 'labour' by Paris Paloma and feminine rage) and I am not alright. I saw a comment being like 'it isn't a throwback album' BUT THE RHYTHMS I... I swear to gods it was whole years that I didn't hear to similar stuff and THE ENERGY I HAVE NOW, I...
(also my friends reminded me of when for high school we had to pick a name for a thing and we went with 'young volcanoes', I... I was iconic back then)
(also gotta love the small cosplay of Pete - I think? - of Aemond. also in 'love on the other side' -> "every lover's got a little dagger in their hand"; challenge 'do not relate everything to Aemond Targaryen for a day' has been failed).
in all truth also when in "so much (for) stardust" when they say 'my pain isn't cool enough' I... ugh. also 'heaven, iowa' is very much in my heart. I haven't listened to all the lyrics better but ugh, I am loving it so far (+ the whole aesthetic and the vide of 'hold me like a grudge' took me out).
so ahem.. yeah in conclusion I am coming back in full form next week but ugh... I am in love with this album.
(just before I forget, for Aemond's arts in his office, I was thinking also Schiele - I know he wasn't... a nice person - but I do think hat with his self-esteem issues, I think that Aemond might be interested into study about deformities in arts or similarly monstrous settings. I think also Goya. but yeah, I think that he'd be very minimalist -> black and white + also I don't know why but I think he'd be into sculpture. so ahem, yeah)
-🌗
AHHHHHHHHH BESTIE THE ANSWER IS ONE DOES NOT STOP LISTENING TO ‘SO MUCH (FOR) STARDUST’!
AAAAAAAH THIS ALBUM WRECKED ME, literally I’ve been listening to it all day since yesterday and I’m not well. Seriously. They dropped it during an incredibly hard time in my life right now and jesus, it just hit different. But also the sound is super reminiscent of old FOB and it’s taking me back and making me think of a lot people as well 😭😭😭 it’s just been a whole experience!!! A lot of lyrics wrecked me but ‘I met you in the beginning but I needed you at the end’ AHHHHHHHHH *CRIES UNCONTROLLABLY’ and I’ve had ‘you were the sunshine of my lifetime, what would you trade the pain for?’ Stuck in my head since I woke up!!
AND YES WITH THAT LYRIC being Aemond-coded!!! (I’ve also been trying not to think about Aemond with some songs but my brainrot is just something else 😅 and ALSO ‘scar crossed lovers forever, I’m checking myself off forever’ makes me think of my Seamstress fic and 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it’s giving me the inspo to finally finish the last part!) but yeah, Heaven, Iowa and I Am My Own Muse, The Kintsugi Kid, fuuuuck😭 and the last track with the repeating lyric??? Omg😭
Re: Aemond’s office art. Goya!!! Omg for sure! I also wanna throw Man Ray up there! Currently taking care of my grandma so my brain isn’t turned on, but I’m sure I’ll think of more artists later!

Hey!
As a bi girl myself, would it be biphobic if I didnt want to date a bi guy because, not out of fear to cheat on me but the pain of knowing he would cheat on me with a GUY.?? That would kill me even more. I don’t think I could survive such betrayal and my self esteem would vanish.
I also lowkey would want a straight man, because then I wouldn’t care if he cheated w a girl... but I just can’t w bi men.
This sounds so bad I know but ugh I’d feel so insecure
It sounds like you're dealing with internalized biphobia. It is entirely possible to be bi oneself and yet perpetuate bi stereotypes, prejudices, etc. Intentionally or not, that is what you're doing here.
Bi men are often perceived as actually gay men who don't or can't have meaningful relationships with women, and that's simply not true (and biphobic). There's this assumption that bi men prefer men over women, when the reverse is the case for many. And some have no preference!
What I would like you to understand is that cheating, in any case, is bad. The gender of the person doesn't matter. If a bi man cheated with a woman, it's the same as if he cheated with a man. It's not like he "turned gay" or "abandoned women." He'd be a shitty person for cheating, of course, but that doesn't mean his bisexuality is suddenly invalid.
Imagine it the other way around. How would you respond to a man refusing to date you because he feared you'd cheat on him with another woman? It's textbook biphobia. And you'd probably be especially offended if the man was actually bi, too.
I think the underlying issue here is your self esteem. Maybe you have a history of being cheated on, I don't know, but if your partner cheats on you, the gender of the other person really doesn't matter. The cheater is 100% in the wrong and deserves to be dumped. But while we work on self esteem, let's not perpetuate biphobia.

Hey could i please get Herman Carter, Evan MacMillan and anyone else you want to add reacting to a survivor or S/O who's insecure about their stretch marks and/or their body type?
Btw: love your writing!
People come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. All of which are beautiful/handsome/aesthetically pleasing and are valid of love and appreciation~
Evan Macmillan/The Trapper
Evan is a very deliberate man. He wouldn't make you his if he thought you weren't perfect in every way, flaws included
He... isn't very tactful in the relationship department, especially when it comes to comforting his S/O. It's not that he doesn't want to comfort you, he's just... really, really bad at it
When you start to visibly wilt and shy away from his touch, it kills him on the inside. Unfortunately, he's the type to get... aggressive when trying to fix issues (i.e. raised voice, firm (but gentle) touches, stern looks, etc...)
It would take a long, long time for him to readjust how he responds to your low self-esteem outbursts. Please for the love of God help him. Even though Evan is a fucking prick most of the time, he does love you and he hates seeing you think so lowly of yourself
His languages of love are acts of service and touch, so expect him to physically show you just how beautiful you really are to him
Max Thompson Jr./The Hillbilly
Here's the thing about Maxie: he is so deprived of literally any human interaction, let alone positive interactions, that if you don't immediately start screaming at him and call him a monster boy freak, he'd think you're a literal fucking angel
He can't comprehend how you could possibly feel insecure about your body/looks. Not even because of how deformed he is, but rather because he can't understand how you, his definition of beauty in its purest form, could see yourself as anything but perfect
Max is atrocious at comforting you. It's not that he doesn't want to, God knows that he does, he just- he's scared to mess things up. He knows what it feels like to hate the person that you are for arbitrary reasons that are beyond your control, and there's no way in hell that he'd let you feel those things about yourself, fear be damned.
The best way he's learned to communicate his love is through acts of service, so expect to have him at your beck and call. He may be a man of few words, and touch scares the shit out of him, but know that he'd do fucking anything to show you just how beautiful you are to him
Herman Carter/The Doctor
Herman is much like Evan in how he chooses his partners: deliberate and unaccepting of anything less that perfection. If you are his S/O, then you meet all of his ridiculously high standards, and somehow manage to put up with his bullshit. You are literally perfect in every regard
And when it comes to you feeling down and out about your physical appearance, he's... well, he's far more tactful than Evan is, but he's just a bit... clinical in his approach to things
Expect a lot of long-winded explanations as to why stretch mark are normal, that many, many different factors come into play in regards to weight gain/loss and distribution, blah, blah, blah, BLAH-! Ugh...
As much as it's going to drive you insane, you gotta know that he's only doing this because he loves you and he needs you to understand that what you are feeling is simply not true. You are beautiful in his eyes, and the only thing keeping him grounded and sane in the tremulous world around him
Frank Morrison
Frank may like to pretend that he's a shallow asshole, but in reality, he's a massive softie that has a natural gift for seeing beyond the masks that people masquerade around in on a daily basis. You don't need to be perfect, but you need to be honest, not just with him, but yourself, too
And goddamn it, he thinks you're the sexiest person alive, so when he hears you beating yourself up over how your body looks, it nearly brings him to tears. Frank is a fucking asshole; he knows this and he doesn't give a damn about what others think of him. But when it comes to you? You always manage to bring out that soft side that he tries so desperately to hide from everyone... except for you
Frank's... always kind of sucked at comforting others, but damn it, he's gonna do his everything in his power to show you just how beautiful you are. No bullshit, no blowing smoke up your ass, nothing but the truth in its most honest form
He will show you why he finds you so attractive. Frank loves to worship your body, and with his naturally gifted silver tongue, he'll leave you a blushing, squirming mess that won't be able to hide the smile that threatens to creep up upon your face

@friendlyneighborhoodcapricorn love languages <3 knights and maybe Arthur lol
So Leon, I've talked about this, very big on Quality Time. Acts of service ofc, but not necessarily very high. I think words of affirmation are quite interesting here, I can see him having had some self esteem issues in the past and just wanting to tell his partner how wonderful he thinks they are. gifts aren't too high, maybe even on the very bottom, I don't think he really likes that. Physical touch is very high too, we've talked about how touch deprived he probably is (seriously how long has this man not seen his family, he was basically a full time knight from like, age 16 on) and I think he needs some good grounding too. so
1 - quality time
2 - physical touch
3 - words of affirmation
4 - acts of service
5 - gifts
Percival is definitely very big on physical touch. it's definitely top. like no debate here. then it's acts of service! I don't even have to explain. I think after that may just come gifts, idk why, I can see that. words of affirmation and quality time are hard for me to place, but I believe he might have quality time all the way down tbh, because I think he does love to be told sometimes that he's, just, enough, and I do (even if this isn't 100% words of affirmation) absolutely know that he really appreciates being admired.
1 - physical touch
2 - acts of service
3 - words of affirmation
4 - gifts
5 - quality time
(I'm not sure about words of affirmation and gifts here, they may just be interchangable, idk)
Arthur is the type to really need physical touch, we've said that already. then it's acts of service, or maybe even before. I think he's really weird about gifts, so I'm putting it all the way down. he loves words of affirmation even though he's bad at giving it (so bad), and quality time well, genuinely I think it's not super important to him, like ofc he loves to spend time with his s/o, everyone does, but you know what I mean
1 - acts of service
2 - physical touch
3 - words of affirmation
4 - quality time
5 - gifts
okay I already did Lancelot and I'm skipping Elyan because I have zero idea about that dude, which means I'm at gwaine now and I've been dreading it. idk. okay. here goes nothing. don't murder me
Gwaine,,,, okay. okay all personal bias aside. I'm doing this very much professionally.
physical touch! he loves physical touch but in a way, it's something really normal to him. so it's pretty much in the middle, maybe two or three. I genuinely am uncertain about the rest. I hate it here. okay, so words of affirmation I'd actually put really far down. it's not that he doesn't like it, he just doesn't even think of it often. like he's pretty confident and ofc he loves telling his partner that they're, quote, "fucking hot damn", but it's not so much words of affirmation and more of a just, general complimenting (no that's not the same to me, yes I know complimenting is actually words of affirmation but just because gwaine compliments doesn't make him pay much more attention to words of affirmation thank you for coming to my ted talk). gifts. gifts is a thing. because I feel like I could place this at the very top. I mean, first scene we see him flirting, he hands Gwen a flower. that's gifts. that is gifts. he's definitely like me, picking flowers and rocks and leaves and lil things and giving them to people. but idk if I can actually put this at the top. so we're moving on. acts of service! yes. I'm really really uncertain about these last two. like I can see acts of service being really important to him. I just don't know if it's as important as gifts. actually scratch that yes it is. he loves gifts but I think he's really big on acts of service. and quality time- ugh, it's high on there as well, I hate this. can I just say "not words of affirmation" and leave it at that lol. like he's not like Leon thinking a lot about dates to have a good time, he's more spontaneous, but that doesn't make him care any less about quality time. ugh. okay here goes absolutely nothing. please, the list is not nearly as accurate as this overemotional paragraph I've typed, so don't take that as the result of it
1 - acts of service
2 - quality time
3 - gifts
4 - physical touch
5 - words of affirmation
(actually, now that I look at it, I think this list is fine. I'd move gifts and quality time onto the same level, like, they're quite similar I think, but I'm genuinely fine with the result)

just a question: why does everyone hate caleo? don't get it twisted i do too but why? i can't explain it, i don't really have a valid reason i just can't with it. does anyone else have a reason or are we all just like this?
Ooof where do we start? 
I mean Asja can worth it better bc they have the monkey brain of an experienced academic BUT
I can tell you that we hate it bc Leo’s arch should’ve been all about self-love and appreciating his platonic relationships bc they are as important as any romance if not more. Leo’s end should’ve been what it was by the end of TOA (won’t say it bc spoilers, but we just agree that Leo’s ending on that series was *chef kiss*)
So basically it was a waste to force down the romance bc there was really no need, Calypso didn’t need it, she needed to live a life WITHOUT depending on a man and the fact that they “fell in love” was more like a condition of her curse than an actual choice.
Then it’s the whole dynamic like I wouldn’t have minded if at least they would’ve been good to each other but Calypso’s only trait when she’s with Leo is that she’s always scolding him and making him feel bad for expressing himself in the way he does (using machines as examples, making silly jokes) and he always feels inadequate around her, Leo just thinks of her as an item, that just bc he has a girlfriend he’s a normal person and that she can fix all his problems (she can’t buddy go to therapy)
It’s just so frustrating that Leo saving Calypso would’ve been so much better if the context would’ve been platonic?? Like saying friendships hold as much power (sometimes way more power) than romantic love but HOO was so focused on romantic relationships and ugh
In conclusion: Leo needs to work on his self-esteem and abandonment issues, and Calypso needs to live her best life without it being tied to a man. She’s been locked away for centuries, she wants adventure and she wants to see this new world, while Leo has spent his time running away from foster homes and doing these crazy quests. He’s tired of moving.
Not like Leo wants to be kept away but he needs a home, and Calypso needs autonomy. You see why they just make each other suffer if they remain together? They deserve better things and in this blog we know it.
