Tumblr media
You watched as Millie hopped out of the car, an evident pep in her step. You had an uneasy feeling about all of this, unsure of what your best friend was about to do.
“What are you doing?!” You exclaimed through a tight hiss when Millie popped the trunk to her convertible. Nikki’s head fell into his hands as he stifled a groan, lacing his fingers through his raven hair.
Millie shot you a look before pulling out a bat. Your heart dropped into your stomach as you saw her tap it a few times against her palm. “I’m kicking her ass, I told you.” She repeated herself. You looked around. Wherever the hell you all were, it wasn’t a residential area.
“And she’s here?” You questioned, a hand resting protectively on your stomach.
“Yeah, this is her hideout. Bucky somehow found out that after she thought she killed me with heroin, she ran here. She’s got some buddies here and if they want a piece of me too, then I’m fine with sharing.” Millie announced.
Bucky soon appeared, your eyes burning right through him. “Why are you letting this happen?” You asked.
Bucky bit his lip, unable to say anything. “Millie’s actions are justified.” He announced.
“Yup, and it’s showtime,” Millie said proudly before making her way toward the red door. Beating on it watched as a light turned on.
“Who is it?!” Sharon’s voice exclaimed from behind the door.
Millie sighed. “Girl Scouts!” She answered. Nikki had already climbed out of the car and made his way over. The second the door unlocked, Millie geared herself up from mayhem. Sharon opened the door and Millie smiled widely, hiding the baseball bat behind her back.
“Why the hell are you here?!” Sharon exclaimed. “You’re supposed to be dead!”
Millie nodded. “Yeah, apparently that doesn’t work for me. Listen, I want to talk.” She sighed.
Sharon looked around, her eyes softening when she saw Bucky, her brows furrowed at Nikki, but she grimaced coldly the second she saw you.
“Hell no, get out of here.” Sharon retreated behind the door. Just before she could close it, Millie used the end of the baseball bat to keep it open.
“See… I can’t do this, Sharon.” Millie laughed. “You may have gotten away before, but now? You’re about to meet your match.” Within seconds, Millie closed-fisted Sharon directly in the jaw. Your eyes widened when you heard the crack, her body stumbling backward into the vacated building.
Millie trudged her way through and within an instant, she had the bat swinging. Cracking Sharon in the knees, another fist came out of nowhere that sent the blonde falling to the ground.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Sharon screamed, spitting blood and teeth into the pavement below her.
“Delivering justice! You hurt my best friend and you hurt me!” Millie screamed. “I could get you for attempted murder, you bitch!” Her voice belted as she delivered another catastrophic blow to Sharon’s shoulder. She screamed in agony as Millie obliterated her.
You noticed Sharon try to scramble away. The second she pulled her cellphone out, Millie snatched that next and crushed it between the sole of her Converse. “There’s no running today, sweetheart. You’re done for.” Millie said bitterly, striking her again.
“Bucky!” Sharon cried for her past lover, causing you to groan.
“Sharon, it’s over. There’s video proof of you drugging Millie.” He informed her.
Millie’s eyes caught a glimpse of something on the desk in the corner. While Sharon was down on the ground, she cast her eyes at Nikki and then you.
“Y/N, what is that?” She asked, pointing in the corner. She had Sharon by the hair of her head as you crossed over to examine everything. It was the files on Bucky, you, and Millie. Gulping, you were outraged when you saw your sonogram photos of the twins. Your eyes burned with tears as you looked over at Bucky, then down at Sharon.
“You bitch!” You screamed. You saw that she was in the process of replacing your name with hers. “That was your plan this entire time?! Try and make Bucky feel bad for thinking you’re pregnant?!”
Bucky’s eyes widened. “Wait, what?” He asked.
He rushed over to you and looked down. “These are copies of my ultrasound pictures of the twins. She was trying to make it out to be hers. She was going to make you think she’s pregnant, too.”
Bucky looked over at Sharon. “Sharon, I’ve known you for quite some time… And even I wouldn’t have thought you to go this low.” He seethed.
Sharon stared at him with an unfazed smile. “Can’t you see? We would’ve been perfect, Bucky…” She trailed.
You then saw a box. Walking over to it, you opened it and nearly gagged. Inside, there were needles and drugs galore. You sniffled, seeing as Millie’s name was written across the front of each bag that contained syringes and drugs.
“Millie, she’s got all kinds of drugs in here. With your name on it.” You said through tear-filled eyes. To the side, you even saw Nikki’s. “Oh my God… That was a part of your plan, too? You were going to fake a pregnancy, kill Millie, and somehow get Nikki back on drugs?” You shot your eyes over to her.
Millie growled.
Sharon stared at you, shrugging. “If I didn’t kill this little bitch, then at least she’d have enough to make her want to do it again… She and her boyfriend could live in a drug-fueled paradise. Just the way they want it.”
Millie, without hesitation, cracked Sharon across the chest with the bat, earning her desperate screams.
“You are crazy!” You covered your mouth. “She needs to be put away. For good.” You looked at Bucky who nodded his head. Nikki laughed.
“You really are a psychotic bitch,” He shook his head, pulling out his phone.
Millie stared down at her. “Call the cops. I’m done here.” She announced before adding one more blow to the side of Sharon’s face with her fist.
The call was made and shortly after, police swarmed the area. Officers walked into the scene and Millie sat patiently, knowing she was going away too. She explained her situation, and what aspired, and led them to the evidence that Sharon had been plotting against her.
“I even have video proof of her drugging me,” Millie told the chief who sighed heavily. Sharon was being picked up by her arms and checked out by EMS before she was handcuffed and taken to the back of a patrol car where they pushed her inside.
Millie held out her hands. “I purposely came here to kick her ass, so you might as well take me in, too.” She sighed.
The officer looked at Millie with a chuckle. “I know this goes against protocol, but do you really think I’d take a woman into custody who was actually dead two nights prior? I was there the night it happened. I’ll just give you a warning, Ms. Roberts.” He smiled her way.
“Thank you,” Millie laughed.
As the officers dissipated and you had the satisfaction of watching Sharon be loaded into the back of a cop car, Bucky wrapped his arm around you as he kissed your temple.
“Are you okay, Doll?” He asked.
You sighed, shrugging. “I’m shaken up for sure… But I’ll be fine.” You smiled. “I have you,” You turned your eyes up at him.
He nodded. “Well, put it like this… I think we should focus our attention elsewhere, which means we need to start thinking of ideas for baby names and decorating the nursery…” He trailed.
“MILLIE AND NIKKI!” Millie exclaimed, overhearing it.
Nikki shot a look over at his girlfriend. “Please don’t name those kids Nikki and Millie.” He groaned, bringing Millie to roll her eyes at him.
You stifled a giggle and wrapped your arm around Millie’s shoulder.
“Yeah, let’s try something other than Millie and Nikki.” You laughed.
Bucky grinned, watching as Millie and Nikki walked ahead, hand-in-hand. He leaned down to your ear and sighed. “I actually have something to ask you…”
You turned your eyes up at him, kissing his cheek. “What is it?”
Bucky smiled, biting his lip.
“I want us to get our own place together.” He announced.
And suddenly, reality struck.
This was actually happening.

Go on and request.😁
Hey guys. I want to write some TASM!Peter x Fem!Reader inserts. For references of my writing head to @deans-mind-palace
I have an idea for a project. Send me your favourite quote (movie, book, poetry collection, randomly from Pinterest, whatever) and a trope (friends to lovers, one bed, etc.) or a genre (angst, fluff, smut, etc.) and I'll make a fanfic out of it!
Can't wait to see how this will work out!

I know these characters are really important to some of you but this is below kindergarten level. Please try to find some actual purpose in life besides fictional characters and its actors. How people can start a war in a fandom because of two different ships and hate on each other and the actors is just something that I will never be able to grasp. Just interpret whatever you want but please stop spreading hatred and negative feelings. They don't exist. Their story was written and you can continue it in your mind how ever you want it to end. There is no right or wrong!
hi! may I ask what happened in the wincest fandom recently? I'm a multishipper, but mainly into destieland only follow a coupleof wincest blogs and I keep seeing vague posts about some kind of hate and drama going on? what on earth happened? also, I read your intro post and you sound really nice and reasonable. spn fandom needs more people like you.
hi anon & fellow multishipper! first of all, thank you! i try my best. one of the reasons i may seem more amiable is that i'm new here, and i'm sure if you've been in the SPN fandom for years you get worn down by the heller vs bibro war.
that being said i mainly hang around the wincest side and am a unapologetic sam/jared girl (gender-neutral), so disclaimer that my answer will probably be a bit biased.
EDIT: so i don’t know if you’re actually talking about the con, I mean I assumed everyone already knew about it, but that’s the only drama I’ve been aware of recently. aside from. obviously. the neverending fandom war. If you’re asking about that, here’s what happened; if you already know everything, well here’s my take. Sorry about the confusion!
~~~
so yeah, last weekend was the first in-person SPN convention in awhile, and at the J2 panel (linked so you can watch it yourself if you want), a heller asked when Dean first knew Cas was in love with him. Jensen said Dean never knew; he never played it that way (i mean, at least until the confession scene). He said we call the love "romantic" because we "don't have a name" for the kind of love Cas has for the brothers, like it's not sexual, but it's more than regular platonic love. At least that's what I got from it.
Jared then jumped in and added a lengthy, ramble-y piece about how you can interpret the love in SPN however you want, which included bits like how Cas was "junkless" (imo meaning not sexually driven, like what Jensen said--but this got interpreted different ways by the fandom) & how the show isn't about incest (debatable!😂 /hj), not about "heterosexual or nonbinary" (he's trying his bestXD), and how the point of the confession scene wasn't that Cas had to love Dean in that way, but that you can always find love with those around you, all forms of love. And that that was the whole point of SPN.
Jensen then added that we try to give a name to the love Cas has for Dean, which isn't necessarily identifiable by humans. He also said that if you found any sort of identity with Cas or any of the characters, that's wonderful because it's open to interpretation, and Jared agreed.
So of course this sent the fandom into a tizzy, and hellers were mad at Jared (to a sickening level on twitter--some people were saying he should have let his depression win) because they took his statement as nullifying Cas's canonical romantic love for Dean, and a lot of bibros were angry at the person who had originally asked the question about the confession scene and were bitching about that. it's interesting though how a lot of hellers got really mad at Jarpad but not Jackles when Jensen has said basically the same thing over the years, at least to my knowledge. So the double standards pissed me off--they just are biased against Jared.
~~~
My interpretation/thoughts is that it's okay to be frustrated/mad at Jared, but I just wish that people could have actually understood the essence of what he was saying: that SPN is about deep, intense love of all forms, not necessarily romantic, not sexual, just this transcending love between Sam & Dean & Cas that drives the story. Which is true and also what the gencest fans have been saying all along! A lot of aro/ace folks loved Jarpad's response and found recognition in it, that love doesn't always have to be seen as romantic to be valid/important. Which I think is excellent and true, and while I do ship Wincest/Destiel/Wincestiel, what's at the heart of SPN is this deep QPR--[queer*] platonic relationship--(that's how I interpret it) between its protagonists. With erotic subtext,** mainly in the early seasons.
The fact is that while the confession scene does make Destiel half-canon, SPN isn't & never has been about romantic love, and people trying to find queer rep in it are foolhardy and bound for heartbreak--I say this as a bi trans guy. If you want queer rep, look for queer creators, look for queer storytellers; don't ask some cishet writers/actors that have been doing this since 2005 and have a lot of subconscious homophobia to do it. It's pointless.
But at the same time, we all know that if Cas had a female vessel, J2 wouldn't think that way; Cas would definitely had romantic love for Dean in their eyes (which, btw, he still canonically does--what the actors say does not dictate canon; text does! and Misha takes precedent here anyway since he played Cas. Plus, the scene was written with romantic intention). So I do understand hellers' frustration, and I know a large part of the bias here on BOTH sides is that people have already solidified which characters/ships/actors are their faves, and whatever way you fall on this drama is gonna be because of the side you've already chosen.
Which makes it hard to actually discuss nuance. But I digress. Can't wait for this fandom to die, actually /hj.
*QPR: canonically nothing's queer except that Cas loves Dean. But I have a queer reading of Sam/Dean's more-than-platonic, not-quite-romantic, relationship because it breaks norms. that's all!
**erotic subtext: i could make an extremely long post on this, but that's something else entirely, and not the point of this debate. GENCEST, canonically, is what always wins.
~~~
I hope my explanation was at least a little helpful, not too biased, and made some sense! As usual, this was a MESS! I tried to cover all the bases tho without making this overly long. Have a great day/night! <3

Basic things to understand about filming with prop guns:
Prop guns are either fake rubber props that do not discharge anything, or real guns that are loaded with blanks.
Blanks, which consist of gun powder and paper, can still cause injury or death. No blanks should ever be used in close range and no real ammunition should ever even be anywhere on set.
When a prop gun is on set, it is only to be handled by the armorer when it is not in the hands of the actor for the scene
Before a prop gun is handed to the actor, it must be checked by the armorer that there is no ammunition. If there is no ammunition, the armorer says, "cold gun," and the cast and crew confirm they heard this by repeating, "cold gun."
Actors using prop guns are required to rehearse with the armorer and stunt coordinator and/or fight choreographer several times just before filming any scene it is used in.
Basic things to understand about the Rust film set shooting:
Rust is a western film about an accidental killing and it's aftermath starring Alec Baldwin and Jensen Ackles, filmed in Santa Fe on the Bonanza Creek Ranch, a place known for western films.
There were at least 2 other confirmed misfire incidents during filming prior to this incident, one of which involved Baldwin's stunt double, who fired a gun that he had been told was cold.
A production unit manager received a text before the incident: "We've had 3 accidental discharges. This is super unsafe."
Several crew members had walked off the set just hours prior, citing unsafe working conditions including COVID and gun safety violations. Several who did not walk off were ordered off by producers. Many of these crew were replaced with nonunion workers.
Assistant Director David Halls picked up a prop gun from a cart prepared by Armorer Hannah Guttierez Reed and said, "cold gun," before handing it to Baldwin. The cast and crew repeated "cold gun" as per the rule.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was crouched behind a camera operator on a dolly, setting up the camera angle for the scene. Director Joel Souza was crouched behind her.
Baldwin, Hutchins, and Souza rehearsed the scene once without incident.
They rehearsed the scene a second time when a live round fired, narrowly missing the camera operator, striking and passing through Hutchins' chest before finally hitting Souza in the shoulder.
Baldwin dropped the gun and cried out, "Why did you give me a hot gun?" presumably at Halls or Reed.
Reed took the weapon and removed the spent bullet casing before giving it to police.
Souza was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he was released later that day.
Hutchins was airlifted to the hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Baldwin has been cooperating with police in the investigation.
The American Society of Cinematographers president Stephen Lighthill stated, "This was not an accident. This was a preventable incident... Somebody didn't do their job."

Allow me to add my observations about the anecdote Jensen told during the con panel about being outfitting with the gun for his “Rust” character.
I thought it was a nice harmless prank Jensen pulled. It was not in a way lax gun handling. Without all the other things coming to light about the “Rust” set, I still think that way.
Here’s why:
Jensen Ackles knows guns. As a person growing up in Texas, but especially relevant to this incident, as an actor who routinely handled all sorts of guns on sets. Which at least means 15 seasons of being handed all sorts of guns, gun props (rubber ones), prop guns (real ones adapted for blanks), hero guns (looking good on camera; like the ultimate version of the weapon - see Dean’s Colt 1911). Meaning the guy knows what to do and not to do as an actor being handed a gun.
At no point during the anecdote was Jensen mishandling the gun. At no point during the anecdote was the armorer mishandling the gun. Or giving out false informations. No, the armorer gave an actor, whom they believed to be inexperienced, a run down on what to do with the unknown weapon. As is their job. True weapons training for a role takes place before actors start shooting their respective show/movie. That is an event not described in the anecdote. What Jensen described was the moment he was first paired with his “outfit” so to speak, the gun belt and gun being part of it. As he clearly stated, he was asked what kind of belt he would prefer for his character. That’s not something you choose on a whim minutes before going to work. That’s prep work.
So, yes, Jensen was a cheeky little bastard, letting the armorer believe he had way less experience with guns than he actually did. The armorer in this case did everything as they should and explained things to him and observed the first attempt at firing the gun. At which point it became clear that they had been had, the in-depth explanations for as if Jensen had never used one of these, had not been neccessary. The end of the anecdote.
It was harmless, because all it did was force the armorer to go into more detail on handling that particular weapon than they would have needed to, since Jensen already was well versed in handling such a gun.
That’s it.
Don’t make out of this one anecdote some wild story about general mishandling, about the armorer generally being useless or the actors all being assholes to the crew.
We simply don’t know all what happened on that set in New Mexico, and who is responsible for each and every step that lead to the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins.
They have been reports, that Alec Baldwin has complained about 17 hour work days for the crew and no hotel rooms or drivers for the over-worked only last week or so. There have been reports that the crew has in fact walked out off set and was replaced by non-union workers just on that tragic day. There are reports that Halyna Hutchins was one of only two remaining union crew left. There are reports of an AD handling the gun and giving the signal of it to the working crew.
It appears to be a long list of things that went wrong. Ultimately we just don’t know enough yet. Was it a live round as reported at one point or was it shrapnel from a blank as it was reported at another? Was the armorer part of the walk-out? Why did the AD even think about handling the gun? Why did anyone let Alec Baldwin fire a gun handled bysomeone not the prop master/armorer?
That’s why I asked everybody not to speculate. Don’t act like tabloids, whe “rediscovered” video of the con, which was not even a week ago, saw Jensen tell a nice anecdote and blew it out of proportion.
Let the investigation conclude. Allow Halyna Hutchins, her family and friends that dignity.

Preach!🙌🏻
With the recent news of the tragic accident that has occurred on the set of Rust, please keep a few things in mind
It wasnt Alec Baldwin’s fault
Yes prop guns with blanks can kill and injure people.
We dont have all the information about this.
Halyna had family and friends, please be respectful to them, they just lost their loved one.
Yes Jensen Ackles is a cast member in this movie. Yes he is fine. No one actually knows if he was on set during the accident. Please stop making this about him.
Dont ask any of the cast and crew to talk about this.
The movie is being put on hold indefinitely. It may never get picked back up.
Stop making memes and jokes about this, its insensitive and disgusting. Someone died.
Quit speculating. We dont have all the information right now.
Please just be respectful of the cast and crew and their families. This is traumatic event for everyone involved.
