Because I think it would be really interesting and funny - can you rank the Pit Babe characters on your Alan&Pete scale? I'm curious to see where you're at with some of them lmao. Least to Favorite (though I know who your fave already is, lol).

Only if you want to tho, lol.

@slayerkitty, honestly, this list could just be these two lying bitches:

Big Red is not on this list since he is the big bad, but since I have no idea what the plot actually is, take all of this with a grain of salt. I wrote that I think all of them have superpowers since Big Red was collecting them like X-Men's William Stryker for his super mutant army, so I think Charlie's superpower is mind control, and I think Way's is controlling people's emotions.

WHICH PISSES ME OFF!

Babe was the prized super kid, so I think Big Red is pulling out all the stops to get his trophy racer back including sending all the other super kids to manipulate Babe with their superpowers, so let me rank them from dead-to-me to love-of-my-life:

The One I'm Ready to Box - Charles

Charles keeps moving Barbie's head and body to face him. He never lets Barbie turn away from him. Then, when Barbie is clearly upset, Charles continues to kiss him, which is why I think he his mind controlling Barbie. When his arm was in the sling, Babe could push him away before Charles could start his mind control bullshit. Sometimes, it's noticeable when Babe's face softens, which should come off as sweet like "ah, look how he drops his defenses around Charlie" BUT LOOK AT THE WAY HE DROPS HIS DEFENSES AROUND CHARLIE! Charles doesn't even know how to drive, yet Babe gave him a car. Charlie's dick game may be strong, but mind control is stronger.

10/10 Petes - It's on sight.

The One I'm Disappointed In - Waymond

Waymond had me the first two episodes. I was in his second-lead-syndrome corner, then he flipped the script in the third episode, and now I can't unsee the red flags. In episode four, I noticed twice how he touched Barbie, which prompted a shift in Barbie's demeanor. Much like Charles, I would love to believe that Waymond brings happiness to Babe's life, which is the reason Babe looks less sad when Waymond touches him, but HE LOOKS LESS SAD WHEN WAYMOND TOUCHES HIM! I think Waymond is controlling Babe's emotions, yet Babe still doesn't love him. It's the only saving grace for Waymond. Charles is using his powers to make Barbie love him, but Waymond isn't.

9/10 Alans - I'm gonna yell at him, then punch him.

The One Who Is Obvious - Jeffery

Jeffery is going to be with Alan, so I can't fully hate him since I love Alan. His superpower is apparently seeing the future, which makes sense why he was opposed to touch in the second episode, and that makes him useful in my touch=superpower theory for Charles and Waymond, so I hate him a little less. BUT if he had anything to do with Barbie's car going up in flames, so he could ensure Charles got a racing spot, -murder-

8/10 Petes - One wrong move and I'll end him where he stands.

The One Who Just Sucks - Winifred

Winifred is just a little bitch, but God is he annoying. I don't wanna know what he is saying because I'm sure it's as annoying as his face whining all the time. Only five episodes in, and the man still ain't tired of getting his ass handed to him by Barbie and Kimberly. Whatever he is plotting is dumb. Whatever he is complaining about is stupid. Whatever he is doing is already a failure.

7/10 Alans - I'm gonna push him into a real Christmas Tree, so he'll get scratched up and cry about it.

The One Who Is Gonna Suck - Decanus

Dean has yet to do anything solid, which means he is just waiting to fuck us over. I haven't seen him race or work on a car, so I'm thinking he'll be pissed that Charles is doing all the things he wanted to do, and screw over the entire team regardless of the race's outcome. Jealously makes people do crazy things, but he is going to be with Winner, so homie is going to go full crazy.

6/10 Petes - Anyone who fucks Whiny Winifred deserves to be slapped.

The Ones Who Ain't Loyal - North & Sonic

I simply don't trust them. They are too colorful in a show that's whole visual plot hinges on red versus blue. They need to pick a color. NOW.

5/10 Alans - I'll threaten them on work time, so they'll know I'm not afraid to lose my job if it means I can fight them.

The One Who Is Gonna Kill His Shitty Boss! - Kenta

Why is he still fucking with Big Red?! He would be much higher on this list but when Babe was fighting Big Red (both times), Kenta looked sad. If the flashback wouldn't have just showed Babe as a kid with his dad, I'd think Kenta was his actual brother. The way Babe yelled at him in the parking lot makes me think they have a long history, so I'm hoping once Kenta teams up with Kimberly, he'll be the good guy I know he can be.

4/10 Petes - If he kills his boss, he'll be number one in my heart forever.

The Pretty One - Peter

Pete is like a Lord of the Rings' elf. He is pretty. He is an archer. He is kinda sus. And he is the perfect ally. Much like those beautiful elves, I don't think he joined up with the blue team because he is a kind dude. This is for his own personal gain, which means he must have beef with Big Red; therefore, he has a superpower too. I think he heard Kenta or smelled Kenta's cigarette because Peter didn't turn around until Kenta turned around. He knew Kenta was there. And he sensed Waymond's emotion-changing powers too, so I'm okay with them being together (as long as he punches Waymond too).

3/10 Alans - Watching his every move . . . because I think he is pretty. Not because I think is he bad.

The One Who Will Solve It - Kimberly

Kim is a real one. He presents as red. He works for the reds. He is a red, and isn't ashamed of it. He hasn't faked his color, and in a perfect world, he'd be with Babe. I don't think he has a superpower, but if he did, it would be the power of common sense. He hates his coworker, Winifred, as any sane person would, so he gets the passenger seat in my car. He also got a handshake from Babe, so he already made friends with Babe. They would make a perfect pair. Barbie x Kimberly Ghost Ship is being captained by me.

2/10 Petes - We're frenemies!

The Main One - Barbie

Babe is the title character, and he is being manipulated and controlled by everyone around him, but . . . the boy is un pendejo. The first two episodes, he was a little too macho, and in episode three and four, he was un pendejo. He argued with Kenta when Kenta could have just kidnapped him, then he punched everyone on his way to Big Red's office, which makes no sense to walk directly up to the man who is going all out to get you back. He is in need of a good hug that does NOT lead to sex, and for someone to tell him he is more than his superpower (which is . . . being awesome at everything?).

1/10 Kanghans - I'm upset at him and for him all at once.

The One I Love - Alan

My man has committed no wrongs. He is amazing. He is fantastic. He is beauty. He is grace. He should slap all these fucking liars in the face.

But he won't because he is too pure for this world.

No Petes. No Alans. No Kanghan. Just love.

#pit babe #pit babe the series #trust no one #based off of nothing but vibes and colors #charles is a swipe left #alan is swipe right #and everyone else falls in between

Animation-twitter, animation video essay youtube, etc. would probably be better off if they assumed every upcoming animated movie was going to be CRAP.

The director of INSIDE OUT 2, Kelsey Mann, has talked a bit about the picture recently. After all, it's out in less than two months... And immediately, so much of what he's saying is either being misread or quoted out of context. Something something Anxiety is going to be "the villain", something something they cut characters Shame and Guilt out of the movie because they felt it was too heavy, something something-

And we've got other people freaking out that Pixar showed 35 minutes of it at CinemaCon... LIKE... What's THE issue? Pixar has done that before! CinemaCon attendees were treated to half-hour chunks of Pixar movies in the past, like MONSTERS UNIVERSITY. When TOY STORY 3 was coming out, Pixar prepared a cut of the movie that ended just as the toys were escaping Sunnyside Daycare... to show to college campuses across the country a month before release.

Y'all need to calm down.

This movie isn't even out. We don't know how it'll tell its story exactly. Maybe there's more here than it seems? Maybe Anxiety will be an antagonist in the sense that she's doing what she feels is right, or is straight-up malevolent. I doubt it's the latter, that would be kind of... Not nuanced? For a sequel to INSIDE OUT? Having Anxiety just be an evil scheming bad guy just doesn't seem like it'll happen, nor is it a good idea. I think director Kelsey Mann meant that by her kicking the other emotions out of the main control room, she'll be the "big bad" of the movie. Why she kicks those emotions out could be related to how anxiety tends to work within the human brain. Taking control of your brain, thinking that it's steering you to make the right decision, making you cautious of dangers more so than "Fear" does. Pixar movies have had antagonists in the past that aren't necessarily evil, they just think what they're doing is right.

I also doubt that Pixar would let out a movie that flat-out stigmatizes people who suffer from anxiety disorders, such as myself. Maybe the Shame and Guilt characters were cut from the movie because director Mann, writer Meg LeFauve, and several others just didn't like the direction the story was going with them in it. Maybe it was too depressing for THEM, not because of any concerns for kids in the audience. People tend to associate Pixar with "tearjerking storylines", maybe it's possible that this went WAY TOO FAR at one point? I don't know, neither do you. Pixar's team isn't Disney Animation's leadership. Pete Docter is less controlling than John Lasseter based on everything I see and hear, but there are probably still some ground rules and some do's-and-don'ts. But I think it was ultimately down to the director not enjoying making the film back when it had these characters in it. As a writer/creator myself, I sometimes pull back when I feel something I'm making is causing ME lose the drive to make the thing in the first place. Maybe it hit too close to home for Mann, LeFauve, someone- Just a few variables, ya know? Not just "Pixar is too afraid to be sad", "Disney's telling them what to do", etc. etc.

Maybe animated movies shouldn't have this kind of pre-release thing... How about, just... Movie title, release date, BOOM. Nothing else. No interviews with the filmmakers and cast, no nothing... Wanna know more? You have to see it when it comes out! Put that in big letters in the teaser trailer!

But if they did that, twitter and the YouTube Animation Opinion Industrial Complex would sound the alarm: "They're not saying anything... IS THIS MOVIE IN TROUBLE???"

(sarcasm for those last two sets of sentences)

You can't win. And watch... It'll come out, and it'll be disliked for some weird reason. Probably because it isn't... PUSS IN BOOTS 2 or whatever. While the rest of the world goes, "Yeah, that's was pretty solid." And said population streams it on Disney+ a gazillion times. I'm not part of this "animation fandom" thing, quite frankly I don't even know what half of these people want most of the time. It seems like every movie is an oncoming stinker to them, and it ends up being a stinker. Sometimes the worst thing ever made, a work of evil. You know I still see people raging over that completely harmless CHIP N' DALE RESCUE RANGERS movie from two years back? The fuck is that all about?

I get that INSIDE OUT is a sequel to a beloved Pixar movie, I get that the original movie means a lot to so many people. I love it myself. At the same time, I'm not gonna be weird about a sequel I never even wanted until the day they announced it. Okay, if it isn't very good, I'll just go on with my life. But we're not even there yet... It's not out... This is the only INSIDE OUT sequel. Now if we were coming up on an INSIDE OUT 3, and INSIDE OUT 2 managed to somehow upset everybody? Then I'd somewhat understand...

Others will dole out their dislike of recent Pixar movies as their reason, but you know me... I feel each Pixar movie - for the most part - is a statement of its filmmaking team. Not a Mr. Pixar person coming up with each and every movie. (That was Lasseter in a sense, lol.) If "animation is cinema", then you oughta look at these movies as director-driven. I feel the other way around reduces the films to a brand, and not the people who actually make them. INSIDE OUT is first and foremost a Pete Docter-directed film... Made at Pixar. Not a "Pixar film". Pixar isn't a person nor is it a collective, it's a place. It should be judged on how functions as a movie and as a sequel to INSIDE OUT, not up against other movies made at the studio by other people. Like I'm not here for THE INCREDIBLES or UP, I'm here for an INSIDE OUT sequel. I know, that's a very radical opinion to have. Silly me!

I just don't get it... I'm just gonna do it the old-fashioned way... I'm going to see the movie, and hope that I like it or get something out of it.

i feel like the bridge of love from the other side, specifically the lyric, "inscribed like stone and faded by the rain / 'give up what you love, / give up what you love before it does you in'", so wonderfully expresses one of the biggest overarching themes in so much (for) stardust, and i wanna talk about it!

with that lyric, when you first hear it it sounds horribly, horribly depressing and bleak. give up what you love before it does you in? what a fucked up sentiment, honestly- that you have to give up the things you love before they ruin you. for a lyric on an album about nihilism and feeling like you're watching the world ending before your very eyes, and trying to find how to cope with that, it's very fitting!

except, the lyric doesn't really mean that incredibly depressed explanation. because that phrase, give up what you love before it does you in, although inscribed like stone, although it is a sentiment so pressed into pete/us/society/the world at large, that even the things you love aren't worth it, that they'll ruin you too- it's faded. it might have a presence, it might be hard to ignore sometimes because it is inscribed still, it's faded. ignored. not honored, not tended to. not upheld.

and i think that is so much of what this album is. we have inscribed in us so much nihilism, so much negativity and pessimism, and why wouldn't we? there is so much bad in the world, at times even the things we love can and will hurt us, it's easy to wonder what the point is. it feels easier sometimes to just give up caring and become cold and closed off. to let the nihilism fully consume us, it's almost as if that's what the world wants us to do, after all! but this album is literally saying yes, yes it's easier to do that, it's easier to believe everything is meaningless and hurts and maybe those things are true, but that doesn't mean you give up. that doesn't mean you listen to what you think the world is telling you. that doesn't mean you can't make your own meaning, live a fulfilling life with the pain and sadness walking beside you, and find things that maybe don't make the pain go away, maybe these things don't make anything 'better' ever, but maybe they make things easier. maybe you can eventually learn how to live with the pain and meaninglessness in a way that isn't crushing, because you have things you love to help. even if those things do you in, you have to keep going, despite, despite, despite. and ride your own melt. take pleasure in the details.

#havent written an analysis esc thing in a while HELLO 😵‍💫#and i think every single song on this album solidfies this obvi but that one lyric in lftos just. keeps sticking w me man #esp after hearing the whole album! like this whole post is saying. w the song being the overture that lyric sums up this theme #that is throughout the whole album so well. and it makes a wittle crazy #txt #analysis.txt #fob #so much (for) stardust #p: 100

New to tumblr, please bear with me😭🙏 I love Bucky x sunshine fics and read them religiously on ao3! Wondering if u could do one where Peter/sunshine are hanging out a lot bc he feels safe with her/looks up to her. Bucky is craving sunshine’s attention so he flirts with sunshine but she just doesn’t really pick up on the ques, and the team is teasing them bc they’re all assuming she understands. Bucky progressively flirts more obviously to try to get her to notice but it’s not working.

Hi! Welcome to Tumblr, friend!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying them. So for the flirting ones, I definitely have a few like that already, I can link them here:

From Friends To This, Snow Day, The Compound Conspiracy, 5 + 1 (Flirting Edition) (especially that one, Bucky really lays the flirting on thick), if none of those are exactly what you had in mind, just let me know, I'm always open to more ideas!

BUT THAT PETER ONE. OKAY. OKAY. You're not the only one that's asked for more Sunshine + Peter interactions and that it so cute. Love it. Absolutely love it.

I'm hoping to put Peter in some more one-shots, but here's a little drabble for you. I hope you enjoy and thank you so much for the ask.

Advice

"Can I ask you for your advice?"

Peter's voice comes from the other side of the common room where he'd been working on homework. It was a common enough occurrence. Today, it was just you and Peter, but there were plenty of times that MJ and Ned also joined him.

You look around the room to find no one else besides you and Peter. You turn back to him pointing at yourself, "You're asking me?"

"Yeah."

"Er... I don't think I'm supposed to be giving advice. That's Steve and Sam territory."

"Nah," Peter disagrees. "I want to hear what you think. Besides if I ask them, Steve'll start calling me 'son' again, and Sam's still pretending I'm invisible."

"Again?" you sigh, shaking your head. Peter wordlessly nods. You dismissively wave your hand, "Don't worry about it, I'll talk to Sam."

"Wait, that wasn't what I needed your advice on! Please?"

"Oh.. sure!" you shrug.

"Well, I guess, I'm sorta having a hard time with the superhero thing. Sam told me that you've never, you know," Peter hesitates, tugging at his collar as an insinuation. "Killed anyone."

You frown, "Oh."

"I mean, I just - I wanted to know how you do it."

"How I don't kill people?"

"No - I mean - Sorta. Sam told me that you hold back a lot," Peter sheepishly explains. "And I guess, I sorta knew that already. I mean you could kill us all if you wanted to. Not that I thought you would do that or anything, but like even with bad guys. And you're just like so happy all the time!"

You take a moment to process Peter's rambling. Your mouth twists apologetically, "Pete, I won't lie to you, I don't think there was a question there."

"You seem decently happy with Mr. Bucky, not that I can really tell because he's always frowning at me. But you are. You're happy. You have a life. I just wanna know how you do it."

"You want to know how I have a life?"

"Is that a stupid question? It's a stupid question, isn't it?"

"No!" you assure Peter. "Of course not! I'm glad you came to talk to me, I'm very wisdomous."

"So?"

"Oh, right..." Your mouth twists as you think about Peter's question for a long moment. "I dunno, that was a choice that I made when I was thrown into this. I didn't want to be someone other people were scared of. I want to be good. I want to believe that people are good."

"Even when they're not?"

You chuckle, "I didn't say it was easy. I forget that sometimes too. That's why you surround yourself with good people. They'll remind you when you forget."

"That's really it?"

"And I listen to a lot of Taylor Swift."

Peter nods in agreement, "Already do that."

Good evening once again, sir. You may remember me from literally yesterday. Anyways, I have entered your very presence once more as I'd like to share more of my fnati au with you, since last time went successful, and since only you and two other people actually acknowledge my au. Anyway, let's go.

Here, we have the Steamboat Boys!!! (sorry for the poor image quality of the first pic)

Willie- Although he's only the janitor of the steamboat, he definitely asserts himself the "boss" around here, as he runs a secret drug business to make himself some big bucks, and usually likes to harass and bully Pete just to entertain himself. Willie is also very arrogant, cocky, and overall a big shot, which makes him think that he can survive anything. This has caused many incidents where Willie would try something stupid that risks his life, and Pete and Dippy would have to step in and save him. Willie also has a small side where he sometimes feels really guilty about his actions, but always hides it to keep the attitude that he's always had.

Pete- A large friendly cat who's the captain of the steamboat, Pete is usually the voice of reason for Willie's shenanigans and always tries to steer things in the right direction. He's also a big worrier, with him worrying and caring about the boat, himself, and everyone around. Because of this part of his personality, he often gets harassed, bullied, and abused by Willie, or atleast get slightly teased by Dippy, with the other two members usually calling names such as "Pussy Cat", or "Worry Whiskers". Pete is also rather insecure about himself, and doesn't know how to protect himself both physically, mentally, and socially.

Dippy- Dippy is sort of like the "middle child" of the group, with him being the guy to use the crane to lift cargo and goods onto the boat, while also struggling to keep an even balance with Willie's illegal business and ideas of "fun", while also trying to actually be a decent person and help and support Pete. Dippy also has a weird and bad habit, where he likes to break windows with all sorts of round-ish weapons, ranging from baseballs to solid rocks.

So yeah, what do you think of these three? Do you have any criticism or suggestions for them in mind at all? Again, I'm willing to take advice.

(also again, you definitely don't have to, but I think it would be cool to see these guys in your style. If you decide to do it, just do the one that's your favorite. If you want me to stop putting these request notes at the bottom btw, I can stop. I don't wanna make anyone mad, you know?)

I'm mostly just poking fun but. I was not. expecting to read that going into my inbox?? Willie sweetie noooooo-

Also I don't mind you sending more about your AU! I think all your ideas are very interesting and the characters are very charming! And. chaotic- Sorry if I can't get to them right away though, I've got a lotta art in the works I'm meaning to post ^^'

Anyways though, Pete's my favorite hands down, he's the equivalent of wet paper and I love him for that, poor guy </3 Hope he can get better friends

Back In North Island I Pt 2 (Bradshaw!Reader)

Word Count: 2806

TW: Parental Death, Alcohol consumption, general angst

AN: I'm working on Part 2 of Recall, I know that mainly what people are waiting, it's coming! I promise! But I just had to post this because it's been in my notes for ages and I can't seem to get it any better than it is- so suggestions going forward for this one would be really really helpful! (As for Recall!)

Requests are open and welcome, and Feedback is very much needed, it's was makes me wanna keep going and lets me know what you like to see me write ✍️ So please feel free to leave some!

PART 1

REQUESTS (OPEN)

MASTERLIST

Sandy lay back in her motel bed. It was dark by now, just the lights of the street lamps and cars passing by. She couldn't sleep.

She opened her door, and stepped out. She wasn't wearing shoes, which was probably a mistake, god knows what she could step on out here in the dark, but she didn't even think of it. She made sure she had her phone and room key in her pocket before she closed the door behind her, and went and sat down on the kurb beside her car, and looked up at the sky.

"Hey, Dad." She spoke under her breath. "I know Bradley talks to you all the time- but I don't. I'm sorry about that." She paused, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness that rang so deep, she thought it might kill her off. She took a deep breath. "It feels weird missing you- I'm missing something I never had... But Dad? I miss you. I miss you so much. My whole life I've been being told about you, stories, pictures. I feel like I know you and yet- we were never here together. Sometimes I think I should have become a pilot, just because then I might be closer to you, but- that's not really how it works is it? I hope you're up there. I hope you can hear me. I hope you know that there was no-one better you could have left behind for us than Uncle Pete. He's not perfect, but he cares. A lot..." She sighed. "Are you upset that he and Brad aren't talking? I am. They're all I've got without you and Mom. God... I wish you were here. I reckon you'd know how to straighten them out? I wish you were here for me. So I could be your little girl like I was supposed to. So you could sing that stupid song with me and Brad." She got too choked up to continue. She looked down through tears at her phone. She wiped her eyes and her finger hovered over her brother's name, then Maverick's. She didn't know that she wanted to talk to either if them. She'd have to open up to her brother one day- but tonight wasn't the night. Tomorrow was too big of a day for him and she didn't know that she even could do it tonight.

She turned off the phone and went back inside, but not before blowing two kisses up to the sky.

The next day, she got up and decided to do something she'd never even wanted to do before.

She got dressed, tied back her hair and wiped away the little bit of makeup she'd had on the day before but never taken off before she slept, and reapplied it, then got into her car and drove for about a half hour before she finally found what she was looking for.

She parked and stepped out and then walked along the isles and columns and rows to the right spot. She'd had the plot number memorised since she was a kid, but always refused to go. Even when they had intered their mother's ashes here- she had always felt bad about letting Bradley do that alone but she was just a kid and she couldn't face it.

She looked down at the little pale headstone, then her eyes began watering so badly that she couldn't read it. She looked over it and out to the sea before wiping her eyes.

This whole trip out to see her brother wasn't meant to be so emotional.

She sat down, cross-legged at the foot of the grave, placing the flowers that she had stopped to buy on the way, on top of it. This was the closest she was gonna get to her parents, and she felt so much like a kid in that moment.

'Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw 1962-1986'

She couldn't even read her Mom's name before she burst out into tears. Thank god no-one else was around, she didn't want to disturb anyone else- but then again, who would judge a woman for crying at her parents' grave?

Eventually she managed to collect herself, with her eyes and throat stinging and a shiver running through her, though it was hot. She looked back out at the sea. He died out there. She'd always been told it was quick- instant even, but who really knew that for sure. Someone had been with him at least- the same person who had always been there for her. That was a comfort- she and her Dad had one thing in common for sure- and that was Maverick.

They'd always called him that. Their Mom called him Pete more, but it was just force of habit for the kids. She was even used to hearing her Dad referred to by his call sign, didn't know either of their real names till she was about ten- but she'd just never got used to hearing 'Rooster' across a bar and connecting that with her brother.

She stayed there for a while, talked quietly to herself, her Mom and Dad, and eventually felt- better.

She lazed about on the beach most of the rest of the day, by the bar, which wasn't far from her motel- so she left her car there and walked over. When it opened in the early evening, she went in; wet hair, in her bikini- got plenty of stares, though there weren't many people, as she crossed to the toilets to change into a pair of shorts and a white t-shirt, something comfy and scruffy. She had brought a second tshirt to dry her hair off with, which worked just fine.

Then she just waited around until dusk hit. When it did, she let another hour pass before texting her brother.

'Hey you free?'

'Just got dismissed for the day'

'We're all heading for the showers'

'Why?'

'Can you come talk with me for a while?'

'I haven't seen you in ages and I'm heading home tomorrow- I just thought we could chat.'

'Yeah'

'Alright'

'I was gonna call you anyway'

'Where do you wanna meet?'

'I'm in the Hard Deck'

'Give me a half hour 👍'

She let herself relax. She'd built it up in her mind that she might not get to actually just see her brother- that was the whole point of this trip- taking a week off of work to drive out here (what with her preference for not flying) and such. God- she wished they were a bit closer again.

"Hey- Sands'!" She heard the door open and her name, which snapped her out of it.

She turned around and smiled. She was so relieved to see her brother.

"Hey hey." She spoke, maybe sounding a bit down, as Brad sat down beside her at the bar- wearing on of his classic Hawaiian shirts (one of their Dad's of course) and with his sunnies hanging from the neck of his vest.

"You good? Had to run last night and you didn't just launch into a full scale attack on me like usual?" He asked.

"Yeah- all good." She smiled. "How was the first day of training? Go well?" She moved the conversation on quickly.

"Uh- Well..." He trailed off and paused. "Our instructor- it's, uh-" He stumbled like he wasn't quite sure what to call him.

"Capitan Pete Mitchell. Call sign, Maverick." She stepped in for him, without missing a beat and very well versed in the drama of Navy introductions.

"Yeah- How the hell did you know?" Her brother nodded and raised his chin, looking down his nose at her suspiciously.

"Who else would spook you?" She asked, not willing to admit why she really knew.

"He didn't spook me-" He started to protest.

"Yeah alright. How did it go, anyway?" She stopped him, not wanting to get trivial.

"It was okay." He shrugged as Sandy passed him a bottle of some kinda beer.

"That's all you're gonna tell me?" She asked, in a way that said 'really?'

"He played the crazy card- as usual. Set a super low hard deck and had us dogfighting- day one." He shook his head and drank.

"Aren't you the best of the best?" Sandy asked in an exaggerated tone.

"Yeah?" He shrugged.

"Then don't talk like it was difficult." She said, in the kind of tone their Mom had when telling them off.

"But it was!" He spoke.

"He got you? Didn't he?" Sandy asked with a cocked eyebrow and teasing smile

"Yes but we're not gonna talk about it- he's still crazy- dangerous- and I'm still mad at him." Bradley shook his head, but let himself chuckle.

"Fine, okay." Sandy rolled her eyes.

"What have you been up to?" He asked and the question, as normal as it was, and as much as she should have expected it- took her off guard.

"Oh- umm..." She hesitated. "I went to see Mom and Dad." She spoke quietly.

"Oh-" He raised his eyebrows and took a deep breath. He was surprised by it. He knew very well the screaming and kicking fit she'd had when they'd tried to make her go as a kid- especially when they were trying to inter their mother. That wasn't a nice time in their lives.

"I thought it was about time, and I've been thinking about them a lot lately- Especially being out here." She spoke honestly, quietly and slowly.

"You were alright? Out there, on your own?" Bradley asked, remembering what she'd said about being in the house by herself- which he was gonna have to tackle next time he was home.

She nodded.

"Yeah- I think it was probably good for me." Sandy straightened her back up a little and shifted in her seat.

"Good- I'm glad." Her brother put a hand on her shoulder. Why was being emotionally open so awkward between them? They both hated it like that- and yet it didn't change.

"I was thinking- We're both older now, than he ever was..." She spoke, quietly, because she had to say it out loud but almost didn't want her brother to hear it. She didn't want to upset him, or herself. Bradley just nodded and drank once more.

"And- Look how much he achived in, what? Twenty four years?" She smiled.

"Yeah-" Bradley nodded.

"Became a pilot- made friends for life, met Mom- had you- made it to Top Gun, even managed to leave me behind as a spare-" She laughed. "That's a lot for twenty four!" She grinned, as did her brother. She sat back in her chair. "Makes me wonder where I went wrong really..." She rolled her eyes at own self pity.

"You haven't gone wrong Sands" Brad shook his head. "You're doing just fine."

"I don't know- I still work at the same dive bar I did when I was seventeen and I still live in the house I was born in." She gave an unsure smile. -"You've at least got all this pilot shit." She laughed and ran a hand through her still damp hair.

"Since when did you wanna settle?" Her brother teased. "My god- you haven't found someone have you? They've asked a big question and you got spooked? Cos if you have, the looks you were giving to my colleagues last night were both amoral and disgusting-" He poked fun.

"Oh my god- no!" She laughed. "I'm not that secretive! You'd know about anything like that! And I don't get spooked!" She shook her head. "No- I don't know really... I've just been thinking about Mom and Dad too much is all. I miss 'em." She shrugged.

"Yeah- So do I." Bradley nodded.

"Have you, been okay? Being here?" She asked. When he had first come, a couple years out of the academy, she knew he'd struggled a bit; not having been there since he was a kid and with what happened to their Dad- he had been nervous about it she could tell, though he didn't say anything.

"Uh- Yeah..." He nodded. "It's actually been, okay." He smiled. "It was nice having you here- actually."

"Really?" She questioned.

"Yeah. You didn't really get to visit much the first time round- and when you did I guess we didn't spend much time together." He nodded and drank.

"Yeah- I was too busy getting a reputation-" Sandy laughed and Bradley cut in.

"Which you haven't lived down by the way; I still get guys asking about my sister; 'Bunny'." He pulled a face of disgust.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that- but what is with you guys and nicknames- God-" Sandy rolled her eyes.

"I don't know but- I really wish they could have called you anything else- I really hate it." Brad shook his head, trying to forget the awful nickname.

"Ditto-" She laughed heartily and then held her bottle aloft. "Look- Here's to Mom and Dad, the years they should have been here to be proud of you for being the best of the best- and the amount of awful boyfriends they should have been here to scare off for me-" She nodded.

"Ditto." Brad mirrored her and clinked their bottles together. They sat in quite for a moment, each drinking.

"For the record- I think I did a pretty good job of scaring off your boyfriends- even when I had to fly with 'em." He spoke cooly.

"And for the record- I'm very proud of you Bradley. I couldn't be more proud of you if I tried, and I only over hope you come home safe." She a wide smile and spoke seriously.

"Thanks Sandy." He gave her a hug.

"You're welcome- Rooster." She teased and he just rolled his eyes. Another moment of quiet ensued.

"And by the way... I just got good at sneaking them out." She broke the comfortable silence between them.

"Huh?" He seemed confused.

"I just used to have them climb out the window." She gave a cheesy grin.

"No-" Her brother looked at her with disbelief.

"Oh yeah- I had the whole exercise down to a T" She laughed.

"Really?" He hoped to god she was just taking the piss.

"You were- Well, still are, sometimes- such an idiot." She laughed at the look on his face as he shook his head.

They chatted a while longer, until Bradley decided he had to go, another long day ahead.

"Hey- Put your wallet away mister. This is on me." Sandy spoke with a smile, as they went to pay their tab.

"That's a first- So I won't argue." Brad put his hands up.

"Oh shut up- Let me be nice for once." She made a face at him.

They walked out of the bar and Bradley insisted on walking his sister to the motel- after all, it was well dark now.

It wasn't a long walk, and Sandy made sure to take as long as she could finding her key and unlocking the door, reluctant to part from her brother.

"You're leaving tomorrow? Yeah?" He asked as he stood behind her and she pushed the door open into the darkened room.

"Yeah- I'm supposed to be. I don't know, I might hang on for a day or two, go to Mom and Dad one more time." She spoke and her brother nodded, understanding.

"Alright." He spoke. Their goodbyes always managed to be pretty awkward too.

She almost turned to go inside when a thought occured to her.

"Hey- Bradley?" She stopped herself, frozen on the spot. "Umm- This mission you'll be going on at the end of this training..." She trailed off, trying to put her words together.

"Might be going on- Don't know who'll get picked yet-" He corrected her but nodded once. "Yeah?"

"I know they're all dangerous- but, this all seems to me to be adding up to something really bad..." She spoke apprehensively- willing him to tell her that wasn't the case at all and that it was all just a regular old top-up first aid training course or something.

"Uh-" Bradley hesitated for a moment. "Yeah," He nodded. "It's a big one, Sands, I won't lie to you." He said, a seriousness in his voice that was reserved for work talk and she rarely really heard.

"Well- You'll come home safe, won't you? You promise?" She asked, knowing he couldn't promise a god-damned thing.

He nodded and stepped forward, pulling her into a bear hug.

"Don't be a stranger Sandy." He spoke and she nodded as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I won't be."

With one last brotherly pat on the back, they parted, he waved goodbye and headed away, and Sandy shut the door behind her.

God knows she wasn't going to sleep well tonight. Too many things had haunted her today.

Coming out! (Hatchetfield Oc)

How did the characters react when Dina came out to them? (In timeline order)

EMMA (TGWDLM):

I think she would be chill to be honest

She will sometimes missgender them but them quickly correct herself and apologize

Definitely have a little pride flag outside the caffe.

Not so much but at least it's positive

PAUL (TGWDLM)

Would be asking them about it but will accept them

Might also be questioning about his sexuality

Supportive uncle <3

LEX (BF)

"Cool"

The first person Dina came out to

Will hit anyone who will treat them wrong or missgender them

Will also be questioning herself but try to ignore it (impossible to ignore it doe, especially when everything reminds her of Dina)

ETHAN (BF)

He's not homophobic, but he is j e a l o u s of how Dina and Lex hang out than how he and Lex does

And he can't help but ask lex out INFRONT of them, like he didn't mean it but he don't want to wait any longer (Couldn't find the right time to ask her out)

But he did let them paint his nails black one time so...

GENERAL MCNAMARA (BF and TGWDLM)

He doesn't care, is supportive but have other things to think of.

TOM (BF)

Even if it doesn't seem it, but hes is the best ally ever

HE BOUGHT THEM A PRIDE FLAG BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT!

AND HE GOT THEM A RAINBOW CAKE FOR THEIR 17TH BIRTHDAY (Becky's idea)

Wears "Gays lives matter" pin on pride month

BECKY (BF)

Okay, I really headcanon her as trans

Dina shows up in the hospital with a broken bone, she asks them what happened, Someone broke their arm

"Why if you don't mind me asking?" "Because...I'm Nonbinary"

SHE'S START TEARING UP ON THAT BECAUSE SHE'LL ALSO GET BEAT UP BACK THEN (headcanon)

Is the shoudler to cry on

Best mom ever <3

HANNAH (BF)

It’s happy that they told her but probably already knew

might be into girls herself ( but she’s still young so We don’t know)

STEPH (NPMD)

Yeah she's totally cool with it

Yeah...Is there anything else???

Make them a pride playlist on spotify

PETE (NPMD)

Would and probably tell them about ruth at some point

But supportive <3

RICHIE (NPMD)

"NONBINARY PEOPLE EXISTS?" (THOUGHT THIS WAS FUNNY IN MY HEAD)

Will recommend them GL animes or mangas

Will wear a pride pin <3 and go with them at pride parade

RUTH (NPMD)

She gets so excited that Dina is bi as well (will also somehow have a crush on them BSKBSBSJS)

Wearing matching bi pins <3

They're like the cool aunt to Ruth

and they would recommend gay series/films or books to Ruth, and she’ll of course go to pride parade with them

GRACE (NPMD)

Okay….listen

She overhead some bitch who said something homophobic about them

At the start she doesn’t talk to them, doesn’t even look at their way

but when Max went missing she kinda forgot about their sexuality and did start talk to them again

at least she call them by their pronouns, even if she doesn’t like it

”Do you hate dirty dudes?” “Yes..?” “Would you ever kill one?” “……Why are you asking me this-“

bit unsure if she’s homophobic after getting the book..

THE LORDS IN BLACK (NPMD and NIGHTMARE TIME SERIES)

They already KNEW, they have been watching them since TGWDLM

Blinky find out first when he saw Dina’s fantasies about Lex

but they’re ally’s, of course they are (Is it bad that I wanna head canon Blinky as gender-fluid? Or weirdly headcanon Nibbly as a femboy, okay I’m shutting up now..)

DANIEL ( DINA’S BROTHER)

Homopho-

JUST KIDDING, straight or not he will hate them no matter what, but will call them slurs when he’s drunk

beat the shit out of someone when they actually being homophobic to them.

Apparently the multiverse is real

Chapter 3: Let's get (a) physical

Masterlist

previous | next

Pairing: the avengers x reader

Disclaimer: English is not my first language so you may find some funny words/sentences or broken grammar in here. I'll say sorry in advance but I've tried my best.

Summary: You accidentally travel to Marvel universe(not earth-616), but luckily you've got your phone with you. You may ask what do you mean luckily, just read this fiction.

Warning: mention of injuries, cursing, mention of blood, medical terms

"Stop whining" Tony crosses his arms and looks at me

"But I'm hungry" I'm still whining at him

"Okay Y/N this is going to be the last test" Bruce says as he aspirates the blood from my arm

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Queens. 1-hour ealier.

"Oh my god oh my god, you have healing ability? you're just like one of my friends, oh are you on the Young Avengers team?, I don't think I've seen you before, oh man Mr.Stark would be thrilled to meet you, are you free? cuz I really want you to meet him, wait, by the way, what's your name? I'm Spider-man, nice to meet you" He hands me his hand.

Oh boy, he sure does talk a lot. I really want to tell him that I know who he is. But on the other hand, I want to tease him a little bit and I would feel bad if I have to shut his excitement down too.

"Heyy, I'm Y/N. I just moved here. Nice to meet you too Spider-man" I fake a smile and shake his hand

"Do you have any plans for today? cuz I really want you to meet Mr.Stark, he's the OG the Avengers, he has a lap here in New York, do you know Mr.Stark?" He still asks me enthusiastically

"Noo. Who is he? Is he a celebrity? What is the Avengers? Is it like a band?" Honestly, sometimes I feel like I wanna punch myself in the face

"Oh man, you're the second person that asked me that question, is it really sound like a band? anyway, NO it's not a band, it's a group of superheroes that protect the world" He tells me with a cheerful voice

"That is so cool. I don't have any plan for today anyway. I think I can go with you"

"Great I'll call Mr.Stark right now" "Hey Karen Call Mr.Stark" He talks to himself

I think in this universe, Tony Stark made high-tech suits for spider-man like in the MCU. And Peter can just casually phone-in Tony with his suit.

"Hi hi, Mr.Stark. I'm Pet-. I mean I'm spider-man. Are you at the tower sir? I met this girl, she is kinda special, she has healing ability, sir. Oh, you're having lunch with Ms.Potts? Oh Ok, sir. I'll meet you at the tower" He hung up

"Oh hey. Mr.Stark is busy right. But he said he's leaving and on the way, so I think when we arrive there we would meet him on time"

"Oh ok, I think I'll call an Uber now" I take out my phone and about to open the Uber app

"Uber? No. The traffic's gonna make it up to 1 hour late"

"So how are we gonna go there?" I kinda know what's he gonna answer but at the same time I still wish he would answer something else

"You and me, we're gonna swing there"

well sh*t..

I know I have healing ability but it doesn't mean I'm gonna be ok with being in the air 490ft above the ground.

"You can trust me Y/N" He tells as he grabs my waist and starts to jump up in the sky

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arrive at Stark tower at about 1:50 PM

Safe and sound of course. But I think I may have had a cramp 2-3 times when Peter swang across the central park.

"Hey, spidey-boy. Where is the girl you're talking about?" Tony walks to Peter in a hurry

"Here, sir" Peter points to me

"Are you kidding me?" Tony looks at me and then looks at Peter

"Hi, dad. How's lunch?" I smile at Tony

"Dad????" Peter asks shockingly

"Hey Pete meet my daughter Y/N" Tony introduces me casually while Peter is still in a shock

"What? How? Wait Mr.Stark, who is Pete you're talking about. I'm Spider-man"

"Why didn't you tell him you know his name Y/N?" Tony stares at me

"What? You know my name?? But how? Did I drop my wallet?" Peter asks as he touches his suit try to locate his wallet

"Yeah.. I know who you are Peter. But it's kinda complicated so I don't want to tell you in the first place" I smile apologetically

"What does he mean that you have healing ability?" Look like Tony only focusing on me now

"I happened to help some people in the fire and it didn't cause me any injury" I tell him the truth

"I can see that her wounds can quickly heal themself too, sir" Peter adds

"Pete, I think you should go now. Don't you have any homework to do?" Tony tries to make Peter leave

"Actually I haven't finished them sir, but I ca-"

"Then I think you should GO and finish them, I'll clear this thing up with my daughter"

"Oh okay, sir" Peter says sadly and swings off the tower

"What else you haven't told me Miss Y/N" Tony walks slowly toward me

"I have no idea about this ability Tony, I swear"

Tony sighs

"I think we should run you some physical examination Y/N, I mean you're from another universe, you may or may not have some weird diseases that my universe doesn't have"

"Ok, I'll do it"

"Wait, what? that easily?"

"Why not? I mean I'm curious about myself too. This was not the first time that I can do something like this. Like today I just ran 3 miles in 10 seconds and the other day I can easily break a giant door on the Bleecker street"

I can tell from his face. Tony Stark is shocking.

"Friday. Is Bruce Banner come in today?" He just asks it out loud

"Yes sir. He is in the lab. On the 32nd floor" Friday answers

"Come on Y/N, let's go to the 32nd floor" Tony takes my hand and walks to the elevator

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arrived at the 32nd floor and scared the sh*t out of Bruce Banner, luckily he's not turning into a Hulk. Tony told him about everything, about me coming from another universe, me having superpowers, me as his fake daughter. Bruce promised he won't tell anyone. He looked really excited about multiversal traveling. He couldn't keep his hand steady while aspiring my blood.

"It looks like all of her cells have high metabolic activity" Bruce says as he still looks at the microscope

"What do you mean?" Tony asks

"She has the same amount of cells as we have, but they can just function really fast" Bruce finally looks up from the microscope

"As you can see here, this is your tissue Tony, I put some acid into your sample cells, and you can see that your epithelial cells start to create these fibrin to try to protect the underlying cell, your sample will take 3 days to create fibrin to cover all of the ulcer, but her sample can just create them within 3 seconds" Bruce shows us his split screen comparing my cells and Tony's

"So I'm like Ant-man huh?. It's like I shrink myself into this universe, but all of my cells still function at the same rate as I was in my original size, right?" I try to understand it and make it simpler

"Yes, exactly like that" Bruce says

"So basically she is us, a normal person, but better in every aspect?" Tony asks Bruce

"I don't think I can confirm that, I may have to run some more tests on her like can she tolerate radiation? magic? cosmic power? you know? the not average kinds of stuff. I think it would be safe to have her stay in this tower for a while" Bruce tells Tony.

They both look at me, waiting for my answer.

"Okay I will stay in the tower, but only if I have one floor to myself, I'm easily bored"

"Anything for you, my not-so-normal daughter" Tony says and smiles

—————————End-credit——————————

"Where are you?" Tony asks through his phone

"I'm in Queens" Happy sounds like he just got up

"Why are you in Queens? Come back here at the tower, Pepper needs to go out for a meeting"

"Because I'm waiting for your daughter Tony"

"She is here"

"What!?"

"Spidey-boy just took her here"

"Did I just wait in the car for 2 hours without knowing anything?"

"Didn't you suppose to look after my daughter?"

"Yeah I know and I won't blame her, but that spidey-boy must did it on purpose, I swear if I meet him again, I will kic-"

Tony hangs up and shakes his head.

can you do a jegulus one shot based on marry you by Bruno mars or call it what you want by Taylor swift

Love your work so far :))))))

Grand Gestures (1/1) (jegulus) [sorry I did not see this ask sooner - literally so sweet! Thank you and enjoy!]

"Alright, ready?" Sirius says pulling on Regulus' sleeve. Regulus takes a deep breath and looks around at Sirius, Remus, and Peter. He can hear the girls occupying James in a rather lively debate about this years World Cup. He is nervous. Not because he thinks James will say no but because he really is about to go all out James and hopes to Merlin that he won't mess it up.

"Oh this is a bad idea..." and they all pause to look at Regulus. But he looks up to meet their gazes and smiles. "Yes, I'm ready."

"Let's go then!" Remus says.

Peter shuffles into the living room and shuts off all the lights. The conversation stops abruptly and James seems a bit confused. "Pete what's-" but his question is cut off when Remus bursts into the room and starts singing: "it's a beautiful night, look for something dumb to doooo. Hey baby, I think wanna marry you."

And the girls are laughing and James' confusion turns to happy surprised. Remus makes it over to them and passes out champagne. Followed closely by Sirius who joins in the song: "is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you!"

The three mauraders dance around the living room, lighting candles and spreading flower petals. Everyone is giggling and laughing as the boys sing terribly off key. James has absolutely no idea what's going on, until he is pulled out of his chair and made to stand in the middle of the room.

Regulus comes into the living room, flowers and a small box in hand. James is laughing I'm shocked surprised and so happy when Regulus starts to sing the last lines of the song: it's a beautiful night, look for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think wanna marry you. Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you!" And he stops just in front of James.

James puts his hands on Regulus upper arms, squeezes lightly but the surprise can't leave his face. "What is all this?" he asks.

Regulus hands him the flowers, and drops to one knee. James nearly falls over. Regulus opens the small box, revealing a beautifully intricate golden ring. "You fell in love with me quietly, and softly, and privately. Just the way I am. But James you taught me that sometimes you have to shout love from the rooftops and boldly ask for what you want. I don't want to let another second go by without you. I don't ever want to stop growing with you and learning with you and I know I'll never stop loving you. So, will you marry me?"

And James nods, tears spilling down his face. There is not a dry eye in the room except for the stormy grey ones James is looking into. He sinks to his knees and cups Regulus' face, pulling him into a deep kiss that lasts until the others are all cheering and jumping on them in a group hug. Regulus has never been happier and James can't believe he ever got so lucky.

Cross Posted from my AO3 @StreetSweeperShenanigans

The Winner Takes It All (I Don't Wanna Talk)

IceMav one-shot

Summary: A short, soft quiet moment between Tom and Pete. Sometimes, you'd don't need words to get the point across. You just need to speak each other's love-language. Or: Mav lets Ice know he loves him in Ice's own language.

Warning(s): F-bomb. Falling in love can lead to feelings of happiness, contentness, and in extreme cases, cuddling.

👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻📺👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻📺👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻📺👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻

It wasn’t that Maverick wasn’t a touchy-feely person, per se, he just wasn’t caught up in the moment like that. Sure, he liked hugging his friends and sliding up next to pretty frosted-tipped blond aviators with stupidly kissable faces (only one person fell under that category). He lived each minute for the next, always on the move; his mind just as supersonic as the jets he flew. He went from second to second excited for each next tic on the clock. Ice though- Iceman, he lived to draw out each moment just a millisecond longer, draw out the half a second to quarter seconds to eighth seconds to sixteenth seconds to thirty-seconds of a second. Each moment he was there, what happened next didn’t much matter, as long as the last minute was used to its fullest. Ice loved, and he loved fiercely. Deep grounding hugs, sturdy hands placing a calming pressure on loved ones' shoulders; if Tom Kazansky loved you, you knew it, no question about it. His ego made sure of that. Maverick was the quick peck on the cheek and run kind and Iceman was the “I’ll refuse to let go of this hug until absolutely necessary” kind. Mav always on the go and Ice slowing him down even if for just a thirty-second of a second. Which is why it was a surprise when Mav’s arms slowly wound around Ice to pull him closer, not bad, just a surprise.

The only light in the living room that night was from the television, the volume just loud enough to fill the small space, not too loud, not too quiet. Pleasant. Just behind the actor’s voices and action music, you could hear the soft buzz buzz hum of the static dancing on the screen. When the VHS ran its course, Mav would get up, turn the tv off (he never re-wound the tapes no matter how Ice pestered), rubbed his hand across the screen, shuffle his socked feet around the carpet for good measure, and return back to Ice in all his static-electric glory, begging for a hug.

Tom lived for these idle moments like this. Grounded. Nothing needed to be said, and that was if either of them even had the words to say it. ‘ I fucking love you so fucking much.’ ‘Very eloquent Pete.’ A flash of a too self-assured grin that would soften into something reserved for only Tom, Bradley, and Carol. Connected by the slight touch of Tom’s foot pressed against Pete’s shin said enough for both of them. I love you.

Glancing over, he could see the blue hues cast over Mav’s face as he watched totally enraptured in the film. Dark lashes painted shadows over his cheek as he narrowed his eyes at something the villain said. Tom wasn’t paying attention anymore, hadn’t been for a while. Why would he when his whole world was right next to him? Looking back to the screen he figured he should at least catch a little of what had happened. Pete was going to talk about the movie later so he should at least know the storyline. Tom pressed his foot into Mav’s leg slightly, just enough pressure to get the point across. I love you.

Tom nearly stopped breathing as he felt Pete wind his arms around him, tugging him back. I love you. Tucking him back into his chest, Pete rested his chin over Tom’s shoulder, his eyes never once leaving the screen. Gently though, he leaned his head against Tom’s. I love you. Reaching up, Tom placed his hands over Pete’s, leaning back into the smaller man and resting his head back against Pete’s own. I love you. Taking a deep breath and sighing contently, Tom let his eyes drift close. Not out of drowsiness or exhaustion, but out of content-ness. Here in these four walls, nothing bad could happen. Logically, Tom knew that wasn’t the case, but it felt true nonetheless. Pete’s arms tightened just a millimeter but Tom knew, and he pressed back against him just a millimeter, enough pressure that Pete knew.

I love you.

prompt: TayTime(Vegas?) with sub Timeeeee i am so thorsty i'm literally not thinking about anything else all the time. help

I'm so bad at writing anything even remotely filthy so I apologize in advance for this hot dumpster fire but I didn't wanna let this sit in my asks any longer 😭

Tay watched as Time squirmed against the bed, beautiful red rope pulled taut across his skin and face flushed in arousal and perhaps a hint of embarrassment. The thrill he felt was something new, something he hadn't anticipated when Vegas had made the suggestion, and he could easily find himself addicted to it.

"And that's how you tie them." Vegas finished explaining as he stepped away from the bed, hands on his hips and a look of satisfaction on his face.

"I probably won't remember. You'll have to show me again sometime." Tay smirked, following Vegas to the arm chair across the bed and settling in his lap. He'd have to thank Pete for this later because the way Time's jaw clenched and his nostrils flared was worth any favor he had to give.

"Something the matter?" Tay crooned across the room as Vegas' hand made its way up his thigh, squeezing gently. He gave an experimental roll of his hips, knowing they'd go no further than touching as per Pete's rules, but what Time didn't know was all the more fun for them.

"Funny, I don't think he likes sharing." Vegas smiled as he eyes never left Time's gagged and writhing form. It was fun to watch prey struggle, and he couldn't think of a more deserving subject. He'd seen the way Time had disregarded Tay throughout the years, watched as he stole a little bit of Tay's light and hoarded it like a selfish, gluttonous dragon. It would be good for him to have a lesson in humility - to be reminded that Tay was a beautiful piece of treasure to be valued.

"Maybe he'll learn his lesson this time." Tay's eyes were only on Vegas now, trailing down the line of his nose, the curves of his cheeks, down to his lips. His finger followed as a physical caress, playful and fleeting and eventually tracing down along his jaw and neck.

"Kiss me?" Tay pouted, lip jutting out and eyelashes fluttering playfully. He could almost feel Vegas holding back an eye roll and he knew he would owe him another favor just for that.

It was worth it when he heard Time growl around his gag the moment their lips pressed together. There was no spark there, no heat, but it was fun in its own right. It was enough that he was sure Pete was a lucky man.

Exhibit Ch - Your honor they love each other! (fuffy)

This is a pro-fuffy BTVS rewatch series. Kendra Appreciation Post! Exhibit Ch is a bonus / catchup review about Scott Hope, Kendra, and a few non-Faith episode recos. Long post.

1. Remember how I wanted Scott Hope to get one more episode so Buffy could prioritize Faith over him? Scott is literally never seen again after 3.03. I wanna review Scott Hope. In exhibit B.10 I mentioned that Scott does seem particularly insightful. Here’s a text montage of all the great Scott moments. Imagine “I will remember you” playing in the background.

“Uh, I'm sorry. I'm a bad liar. It's not good for the soul.” (3.03)

“You're friends with Buffy, right?” - to Faith (3.03)

“Faith has been telling me tall tales.” (3.03)

“my mom says that therapy can be completely helpful.” - to Buffy (3.04)

“I hope you realize I don't actually know these people.” - jokingly about Pete and Debbie (3.04)

“It's just that you never really know what's going on inside somebody.” - about Pete and Debbie after they both die (3.04) Y’all he realized he didn’t actually know them.

“Before we were going out, you seemed so full of life, like a force of nature. Now you just seem distracted all the time, and… I’m really sorry” - dumping Buffy (3.05) Buffy agrees she has been distracted.

2. Scott - in what little we see of him - is very honest. He says he’s a bad liar, he realizes Faith’s stories are at least exaggerated, he’s pro-therapy. And he’s not just honest but he verbalizes it. The way he dumps Buffy, Scott’s so fucking honest. Scott is mentioned again in the show 3 times, twice more in S3 and then once in S7.

3. Remember Buffy’s traumatic therapy experience in 3.04? Well her next therapy session is to Holden the psych major and new vamp she very vaguely remembers from high school. In 7.07 (Conversations with Dead People) Holden says: “Scott Hope said you were gay… He says that about every girl he breaks up with. And then last year, big surprise, he comes out.” Buffy acts surprised at hearing this news, that he called her gay.

4. Granted, I could buy that Scott was repressed and gay in high school. But just because he came out eventually doesn’t mean he was lying. Also the “he says that about every girl” bit sounds OOC to me. Scott was insightful and honest when we saw him. I think this is the show queer-panicking again. “Oh no wait, Buffy can’t be gay! Or queer! Uhm….. yeah let’s add that Scott says that about every girl, oh yeah because he’s actually gay and therefore a lying liar.” Homophobic much? Silly show. Also am I picking and choosing to fit my argument? A little bit.

5. So in summary, Scott Hope is insightful and honest and calls Buffy gay, aka calls Buffy queer. She is so repressed / panicking that she is visually surprised by this in 7.07. Oh Buffy.

Alright, enough about Scott, let’s talk about Kendra!

6. Kendra is the Jamaican slayer that appears briefly in S2. The BTVS writers room was super white. There are several things they don’t do a great job with IMO, including the LA homeless scenes (3.01), queerness (in general and also being bi just doesn’t exist?), judaism, and sexual assault (*rages at multiple epis*). Sometimes the show is a little misogynistic (but not as bad as Angel, holy fuck that show) and a little racist. Or a lot. The racial diversity of the show is laughable, I mean late 90s California? Even in the LA episode (Anne 3.01) LA is just - mostly white? *cackles* (As a palate cleanser here’s a nice gifset featuring POC characters on BTVS and ATS.)

7. Interesting Black characters are given the short shrift, including Mr. Trick in S3. Kendra deserved better but at least we got a little glimpse of her. If you’re following along at home and but also trying to limit your BTVS intake, I recommend the following non-Faith-appearance catchup episodes: 2.09 (Kendra appears), 2.10 (Kendra heavy), 2.11 (the Ted episode), 2.21 (Becoming Part 1 - Kendra re-appears), 2.22 (Becoming Part 2 - to finish off the season). And 3.01 honestly, because limiting intake can be difficult, LOL.

8. ifeveristoday lays it out in this good short post on Kendra’s role / lore on the show, and how it could be better.

9. herinsectreflections explains Kendra is not one of Buffy’s shadow selves. This gifset by fuffygifs shows the scene parallel.

10. Kendra locks up Angel. Delight in her power over him, the way she laughs at him.

11. I vividly remember the scene where Buffy slow-motion runs through the school, it’s in the show openers. But what I had forgotten until this rewatch was that it’s her running to get back to everyone in the library, after her chat with Angelus in the cemetery, and she finds Kendra dead. (Because of Dru’s hypnosis powers.) My memory of the slow-mo was that Buffy’s so badass, but now it’s tinged with sadness bc she was trying and then fails to help / save her friends, including Kendra. Although really the only long-term damage is Kendra. *grumble*

12. OK the main scene I want to review is when Buffy and Kendra say goodbye in 2.10. Buffy calls herself a freak, which is a real insult in her mind. Kendra reassures her “not the only freak.” And then Buffy goes to hug Kendra, but Kendra doesn’t hug. So Buffy doesn’t. Can you imagine where this didn’t happen, like Kendra is OK with hugs. And then when Buffy meets Faith she hugs her at some point (not right away). Gah! They never hug right? Or Buffy isn't feeling like she caused Kendra's death and she's more open with Faith? (spuffygifs has the full gifset)

I gotta admit they did have chemistry.

OK, a smattering of links to Kendra gifsets I found:

nerd4music

dailybtvs

original andremichaux

andremichaux with tags people left

13. OK, a few thoughts on 3.01 Anne. Already unrealistic when it aired (Buffy somehow affords a studio apt on a waitress salary?) it’s achingly unrealistic now, in terms of money. Like Buffy would need 3 waitressing-type jobs and she’d still have 4 roomates in a craaap 2 BR apt that was falling apart.

14. SMG is giving a master class in acting in SO much of BTVS. The moment when she revolts is brilliant. Check it here (credit to deansmom and harrietvane and isagrimorie) proof that SMG made the acting choice, that it wasn’t that detailed in the script. (read the prev tags too, all of this is brilliant) Also we already know Buffy but this introduction of herself is great, on par with Faith-introducing-herself levels here. (the whole deansmom gifset and tags really sets the mood pre-"aggressive chipper shit talker" Buffy introducing herself)

I am not great at finding gifs on tumblr. Here are some bonus ones for prev exhibits:

Faith accidentally punching Buffy in 3.04. (Eliza apparently actually punched SMG IRL)

Faith shooting her shot in 3.05

Buffy’s unsure reaction in 3.05

No rating for this exhibit bc there’s no Faith. (Exhibit C had a they love each other rating of 2 out of 5.) Next exhibit will cover episode 3.07 Revelations. Exhibit Ch has been submitted, the prosecution rests for the day.

Copycat: Genesis —(Marvel Fem!Oc)

A/N: Love how as soon as Cat decided she was done with her bullshit everything just fell into place she was really drowning in a glass of water jdsjd -Danny

Words: 2,511

Phase Six Masterlist

Previous Chapter // Next Chapter

Listen to: 'All My Love' -by Noah Kahan

xxxvii: Copycat Finds A Way

What was it about Parker that made everything so wholesome? Cat wondered if it was her instead. Pete was right, everyone was a shapeshifter, people changed, and as a consequence so did their perception of things.

The mutant snuggled closer to Parker on the bed, now that she was waking up a new feeling was crawling up her chest. Parker couldn't stay, his time here was ending, and so were their chances to be together. She couldn't abandon this universe, especially now that the Young Avengers needed a leader.

She'd finally gotten something she wanted to explore as Cat, though, and she wanted to hold onto it too. The mutant never tried to hold onto anything, but this seemed like the right time to try that out.

Parker stirred awake as she pressed tighter against him, and his arms wrapped around her soothingly. He kissed the top of her head and breathed in like he'd had the most pleasant sleep of a decade. "Had a bad dream?"

"A bad life..." she mumbled against his chest. "And now that I can change that... I'm scared I won't be able to."

Parker looked down at her with worry. "Listen, I'm a stubborn guy so I can handle whatever comes next, but I need you to tell me face to face, now that you've calmed down, that you want to be with me for sure."

"I already told you," Cat huffed.

"But you were going through many things yesterday, you said Kurt's leaving, and you've run out of fights, makes me feel like you're looking for a new challenge. I'm not the next big milestone, okay? Wanna make sure we agree on that."

Cat pushed herself up, she thought hard about her answer. "Well... how do you feel about us?"

Parker sat up too, they were shoulder to shoulder now. "I really, truly want you. But there is no bigger reason than that. I have a personal pathway that's really clear to me, all I'm asking is if you'd like to keep each other company on the go. What about you?"

Cat fidgeted with the sheets. "Saying I'm in love with you feels cheap, Peter. You're good and I suck. I love you is not enough."

"I don't think you suck," he shrugged. "I think sometimes not even you understand yourself, but you're loyal, and you're capable of loving in an amazing way. In my opinion, that's enough to keep things running."

"You think so?"

"I do, yes," he smiled, eyes full of adoration. "I love you because you make me happy. That's all I need to know."

"Hah," she covered her face with both hands. "Y'know, it had been a while since someone made me feel like this..."

"I'm pretty sure that's on you," Parker raised a brow. "I know some tried and you never let 'em."

"Shouldn't you be glad I didn't?" She nudged his shoulder. "Kept the path cleared out for you."

"Not if it made you miserable," he reached for her hand. "You deserved to be looked after, you should have been loved every day of your life."

"I had love..." Cat thought of all the things that happened just so Parker could be there, all the ways it could've ended up differently. She didn't know if she would've done it all over again, but it didn't feel like the worst outcome either. "And I'm ready to accept more of it."

"You won't regret it," he kissed the back of her hand. "We'll be a great team."

Cat squeezed his hand. "We'll need so much help before we can get to that, though..."

"After all you've done for your friends?" He replied, lips still lingering on her knuckles. "The least they can do is hear you out."

"Again, most problems they faced were my fault."

"I don't trust your unreliable narration," he teased her. "It's about time I met your friends, anyway."

Cat walked up the stone staircase of the mansion's entrance with Parker beside her (dressed in civilian clothes). She was about to knock on the huge wooden doors when a PUFF! was heard and startled them. Peter held onto the stone. "Jesus!"

Nightcrawler sat cross-legged on the broad banister, grinning from ear to ear. "I'm actually his distant cousin. You must be the other Spider-man!"

Parker looked at Cat in confusion, and she introduced them. "This is Kurt. Kurt, this is..." she didn't know what to call him, Parker stepped in right on time.

"Ben Reilly," he offered to shake the mutant's hand. Cat smiled, having many names wasn't such a weird trait when it came to superheroes.

Kurt squinted. "Doesn't sound like a real name."

"I promise it is," Parker replied. "Both names are on my birth certificate."

And as far as Cat knew, at least one of them belonged to him. "How did you know we were here?" She asked her friend.

"Edith saw you coming," he pointed at the upper left corner of the door, there was a tiny camera there. "Webhead says this guy is your boyfriend."

Cat looked at Parker. "I never called you my boyfriend out loud."

"Out loud," Kurt echoed with amusement.

"Shut up," she scowled. "Are you here to open the door or do we have to kick it down?"

"Oh, someone's coming," Kurt got to his feet and stared at Parker, he was a bit shorter than Peter, but the young man stepped back warily anyway. Kurt switched to German. "I'm here to determine if this idiot looks sturdy enough to survive dating you."

Parker's eyes widened. "What did he say?"

Cat knocked on the door loudly. "Open u—!" The doors opened and revealed a large group of people waiting for them. "I was gone for a few hours! How did y'all get here so fast?"

"Kurt picked us up," Wanda stepped forward. "Is that your new boyfriend?"

Kate drew Cat into the room, behind the archer she spotted Yelena and Peter (in his spider suit) talking in quiet whispers, definitely making fun of her. Harley was there still, and he had the E.D.I.T.H. glasses on.

"That toy isn't yours," Cat pointed out.

"Actually, it is," Spider-man responded. "He should be the one to have them."

Harley winked at her, his bruises seemed to be healing nicely, and his eye was no longer swollen, just bloodshot. He glanced over her shoulder. "That your boyfriend?"

"Oh, for fucks sake," she rolled her eyes, calling Parker over. Kurt was standing in his way on purpose. "Knock it off, Smurf!"

Parker approached and waved to the group of super people. "Hi. I'm Ben."

"Ben what?" Harley crossed his arms.

"Ben Reilly," Kurt answered.

Yelena snorted. "That's not a real name."

"That's exactly what I—!"

"Quiet!" Cat exclaimed. "Someone please explain why is everyone here?"

"This is the new clubhouse, is it not?" Yelena asked.

"I thought you didn't want to be an Avenger," Cat raised a brow.

"Kate begged me to come," she looked around. "It is a nice house... you may try to convince me."

"You want free housing," Cat stated.

"Yes."

"We'll talk about that in a moment," Cat looked at Wanda and her gaze softened. "Hi."

The Scarlet Witch hugged her, and she whispered in her ear. "Ben's handsome."

Cat chuckled, she moved to look at her. "Are you sure about this?"

Wanda shrugged. "I won't stay here, but I can help you turn it into a proper compound... I also have the feeling you'll need my help with something else," the girl gave her a significant look.

They moved their conversation to the sitting area on the first floor, Cat was standing in front of her friends, and Parker was standing next to the doorway, leaning against it with his arms crossed and throwing nervous glances at the group.

"Thank you for coming, I guess... There are a few people we should call if they want to join, and we should see how the rooming's gonna work if you're planning to stay here permanently or only during meetings and before missions..." She glimpsed at Parker, and he nodded encouragingly. "I have some news."

"Let me guess," Harley looked up from his tablet and pointed at Parker over his shoulder. "You're leaving with him."

"No—" Parker began, and she spoke at the same time.

"—we're trying to come up with a way—"

"—this is her life, I can't expect her to—"

"Guys," Spider-man raised both hands to stop them. "No one's angry at you."

Cat looked around, it was true, no one seemed mad. In fact, everyone was acting as if they'd been expecting this for a long, long time. "Am I missing something?"

"A brain," Harley taunted her. Kate hit his arm.

"Well," Spidey continued bluntly. "We've been trying to tell you— we think it's a good idea if you leave this place."

Cat's confusion increased. "What?"

"You know when I asked if you liked Ben's universe?" Kurt explained. "Part of it was me trying to find a way to tell you I'd go, but I noticed there was something there that could be a solution to your problem."

"Cat, you're one of the best heroes in this world," Kate admitted. "That's why is almost impossible for you to get a good life. There's always going to be a bad guy or a threat that you have to take care of..."

"That's not the life you deserve," Spidey concluded. "We had a talk last night. We think living in a universe where no one will know what you are and what you can do, where is far less dangerous and quieter, it's perfect for you. You won't have to work all the time, even if you could."

"And that's why I'm here," Wanda smiled.

Cat frowned. "And how did they find you?"

"Kate told me about her," Kurt shrugged. "Wasn't hard. When I got there she knew who I was right away."

"He was in many of your memories," Wanda beamed. "I was excited to finally meet him," Cat had the feeling her friends had gotten along in more ways than one. "He asked me to come so I came."

"But why?" Cat insisted. "You almost died the last time you messed with the multiverse, why are you trying that again?"

"Because you don't exist in Ben's world. You could exist as you are now, and that might change the narrative, but if you lived there a whole month and nothing happened..."

"It might work," Harley tapped something onto his tablet. "I stayed up the whole night with Webs to come up with this, Wanda helped us. We think that the solution is to pull a Persephone."

"To pull..." Cat frowned. "You mean to divide my time between universes?"

"Well, it's fitting," Spider-man shrugged. "You train the recruits during the spring and summer, then live a normal life with Ben during autumn and winter."

"It's better than doing it all year, every day," Kurt nodded.

"And cooler," Spidey mused.

Cat looked at Parker. "You're uncharacteristically quiet."

The young man was fascinated by the conversation transpiring in front of him. "This is the craziest moment of my life, and that says a lot— but you're all sounding like this happens all the time..." he locked eyes with her. "If it sounds like it could work and you wanna try, I'm all in."

Cat looked at her friends. "What's your idea, exactly?"

"We put magic into that," Harley pointed at the beeper on Parker's wrist. "Wanda thinks she can make it so Ben's world doesn't get any worse. Instead of crawling through a rupture, she could build a door that opens and closes whenever you want."

"That sounds risky."

"If you're dumb and careless," Harley raised a brow. "But you're the most paranoid woman I know, I'm sure you'll take the necessary precautions."

A feeling of vindication washed over her, reassuring her. She'd picked the right people to work with. "Okay. Let's try that. Thank you."

"It's what friends are for," Spidey got up and pointed at Parker. "You come with us. Edith has to scan your beeper so she makes a new one for Cat."

"What about Cat?" Parker asked, walking towards his variant.

"Don't worry, pretty boy, she's just coming with me for a moment. Dad will be here any moment to pick me up," Kurt looked at Wanda and bowed briefly, his expression softening a bit. "Pleasure to meet you all..."

"When did you have time to do all the shit you did?" Cat frowned. "Brought Yelena and Wanda, called Rocket, packed your things..."

"I can be fast when I want to," he smirked.

"So fast you already got something going on with Wanda, huh?"

He laughed. "She's cute, but I'm going to space so..."

Cat patted his shoulder. "You can come sometimes, ask her on dates— she can astral project, you know?"

"Mimi?"

"What?"

"Mind your damn business," Kurt chortled.

Kate and Harley joined them, both as bummed out as Cat. Now the group would be incomplete most of the time, and they would have to get used to it.

"You have to call often," Kate demanded.

"You know, as weird as the circumstances are, I always knew you two would go to chase some bigger purpose in the end," Harley put an arm around Cat's shoulders and squeezed. "At least things are ending on a happy note."

"Not ending," Cat said. "Remember when I went to live in space? We'll come back, Kurt and I. But I won't kill people behind your back this time."

"I won't sleep with you as a farewell gift either," he grinned.

"Yuck," Kurt made a face. "It's gross how you two had stuff with Mimi— I don't see what the big deal is."

"Because you met me before I could master my charm. If we'd met as teens, you would've fallen straight into my trap."

"So there is a God."

"And he hates nerds and lesbians," Harley added humorously.

Her friends laughed, but the sound of a spacecraft silenced them. When the ship landed, the very distinct figures of a raccoon and a gigantic Groot came out from it.

"Took you long enough!" Kurt shouted. "Was there traffic in space or what?"

"Look who you're talking to like that!" Rocket pointed a sharp finger at him. "Need I remind ya you work for me?"

"I work with you."

Rocket stopped a couple of feet away and glanced at Cat. "And you?"

"And me what?" She grinned.

Rocket huffed and muttered to Groot. "You don't talk to your kids for a few months and suddenly you're not even worth a greeting— can you believe your siblings, Groot?"

"You're not my father, Rat."

"Come say that to my face!"

Cat got closer, but only to pull him up into a hug, she closed her eyes tightly and squeezed him. "You good?"

Rocket patted her back, he chuckled quietly. "All good, toddler. I might even be happy."

"You deserve it, Captain."

"I want a hug too!" Kurt sneaked his way in and embraced them both. "Ahh... this is nice!"

"If you ever need me, you know where to find me," Cat tilted her head up and kissed Kurt's temple.

"I love you so much," he squeezed her shoulders. "You guys are family."

"Your family's about to get bigger," Rocket informed him. "Come meet the New Guardians..."

"Say hi to Nebula," Cat leaned her head on Kurt's shoulder, giving him one last squeeze. "And have fun."

"You too," Kurt smiled. "Remember you have friends in space, and you're welcome to join if your thing with Ben doesn't work out."

"Who's Ben?"

"Her boyfriend."

"I thought she was dating a Matt!"

"That was years ago, you clueless Raccoon."

Rocket scoffed. "Mutants move on too quickly."

Cat chortled. "If only..."

lyrics ii;

This could be a meditation practice, but honestly, I was just trying to pass the time when I wrote these.

I shuffled my playlist for this one.

“Ace of Hearts” by Zella Day

For me, it’s the opening of the song:

“Caught you at midnight Not in my right mind What you're afraid of Is where I just came from An ugly confession I think that I'm broken When I try to be open I get the feeling that I'm giving up on something I love, too much The sweetest misery that's taking me, I'm lost in the rush.”

“Official” by Charli XCX

I overplayed this song circa 2021 as if it was a lifeline. I have a fond memory of leaving the DMV after moving back to Charleston after five years and poorly belting out this song with my Honda windows down. (I miss my Honda sometimes, she was my baby)

*“Look at us Isn't it obvious? Is it so dangerous? Is it so complicated?

You know the shapes my body makes Under the sheets at 4 AM with you The things that we break when we're switching positions You know the words to my mistakes You understand because you made 'em too

The things that I say when you don't wanna listen Things that you say when I make bad decisions Things that we do by the sink in my kitchen I remember our first date No chocolate and no bouquet But the way that you kissed me These are the things that could make us official.”*

“Slide Away” by Miley Cyrus

Of course this song came out after Cyrus announced her divorce to Liam Hemsworth. I’ve always loved her voice.

“Once upon a time, it was made for us Woke up one day, it had turned to dust Baby, we were found, but now we're lost So it's time to let it go I want my house in the hills Don't want the whiskey and pills I don't give up easily But I don't think I'm down So won't you slide away Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights So won't you slide away.”

“It’s Been Awhile” by Staind

This is a particularly triggering song for me but also a favorite lyrically. I was involved with SH as a young teenager and I would overplay this song to try to process my emotions and the trauma around me. As an adult, it speaks different volumes on addiction and accountability.

“Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day And it's been awhile Since I could look at myself straight And it's been awhile Since I said I'm sorry And it's been awhile Since I've seen the way the candles light your face And it's been awhile But I can still remember just the way you taste And everything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem to be, and I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father He did the best he could for me”

“What If We Could” by Blue October

I always use this song in my manufactured intense romantic pairings as a writer. It’s sexy, it’s dark, it’s longing, and it’s a different version of love.

“It's like a last chance For a first dance You're a sunrise Can't somehow exist I would meet you Would you meet me? I'm glad to say that we've met But I'm sad to say that the circumstances weren't On our side So go on Go on be your own Go on be your own star A superstar in my eyes”

“papercuts” by Machine Gun Kelly

Don’t come for me (or do). I actually enjoy his music. The song that came up on my shuffle was the album version which is different from the single version in lyrics. He edited to add a small dig at Kanye West (👀👀) most likely in response to his friendship with Pete Davidson.

It’s definitely about the fine print of reading your contract, and understanding a life of fame. It serves as a cautionary tale.

“I spend a lot of nights thinking I might go to sleep and never wake up. I spend a lot of money on these therapy sessions Even though I'm not showing up I spend a lot of time healing my mind and my heart But I still put these drugs in my gut Me and my girl were just screaming at each other Right before we both got out of the truck I got some demons inside I'm tryna free them inside I'm from the Cleveland East Side Where the boy who was just starving with you Now might try to eat you alive, damn Y'all said that I switched genres I saw the limit and took it farther I'm a genius, could've made Donda But this song is for my dead father”

I’ll probably do this again.

(Plot twist: I did)

SESSION TWELVE of the BatIM Call of Cthulhu game, aka Continuing to have a Great Time At The Masquerade! : )

Joey and Bendy destabilised early on, meaning Joey went through the ENTIRE masquerade UNABLE TO STOP SMILING

getting some mixed messages here, Joey

Sometimes u dress ur characters up as rabbits for fun but then you have a lot of emotions about them losing their minds and then u gotta draw them losing their minds while dressed as rabbits... anyway Jack being mind-controlled did NOT help Sammy hold onto his mental stability at this nightmare party in case you were wondering,

ANYWAY HAVE, MORE OUT-OF-CONTEXT QUOTES, UNDER THE CUT

[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]

[GM] Joey, make a POW roll also... [Joey] Oh, boy, [GM] ...because Bendy was also told to enjoy this party, and you guys just passed a plate of food, and he wants to eat! [Jack] FEED YOUR SON! [Joey] No!!! [Henry] HES A HUNGRY BOY! [Sammy] A GROWING BOY!

[Henry] Henry will look back to see if Moonlight is trying to follow them! [GM] He will see that Moonlight has grabbed onto the railing of the stairs and is hobbling slowly down them. [Joey] *extremely evil-sounding cackling*

[Jack] All Cthulhu Official Dice actually come weighted, to make you fail.

[Henry] Gotta try harder than that, bitch! [Henry] ....that wasn't in character. [Jack] It's in character, but he's only thinking it. [Sammy] That's the golden text you see on the wall if you use the seeing tool

[Henry] My Luck is 68, I don't know what y'all are doing! [Jack] We're spending Luck so that we'll fail! [Sammy] BEING UNLUCKY! I've barely spent any Luck, I'm just NOT A LUCKY GUY

[Henry] Oh, Avedon's here, [GM] There's a gunshot, and he tries to shoot Fowler! [Joey] Um, well, uh, whoops!, rest in peace Fowler! [Sammy] Yeah, that'll sort itself out, let's go! [GM] Moonlight seems to reconsider from telling people to grab you guys, to grabbing Avedon instead. [Joey] Oh! THANKS AVEDON, your sacrifice will, not be thought about in the slightest!!!

[Sammy] Is... weird question, does this room look like it matches the architecture of the rest of the house? [GM] [GM] [GM] ...make a sanity check.

[Sammy] It would be a like, Come on Jack, do you know where you are, shake it off, snap out of it, kind of thing. [GM] Why don't you make a... a.... oh boy, [Sammy] One of my REALLY persuasive social skills?

[GM] This probably just registers to Jack as, Sammy griping about a party, which isn't that strange. [Jack] Yeahhhh, he wants to leave. He always does that. I wanna stay at least a little longer! [GM] That just means it's Jack's job to find them something fun and good to do. [Sammy] Oh boy, [GM] I don't think Jack is being compelled to be aggressive about this necessarily, he just feels like he's Jack at a party, doing the things Jack normally does, and trying to have a good time! [Sammy] Ah, and everyone else is being weird, [GM] Yeah! Everybody's being really weird! You're at this nice party, and now you're in this weird room? The party's back there somewhere! [Jack] I mean not that he's opposed to bein' dragged into side rooms at parties by cute boys, but,

[GM] The table looks like a table that Henry has in his house, actually. [Sammy] Have I ever been in Henry's house? These are questions I didn't expect to need to ask tonight.

[Sammy] Jack, this is weird! You see this is weird, right?! [Jack] Well yeah, it is kinda weird that we're in-- what are we doing here? [Joey] Joey is going to grab Jack's arm, and point to the next door, and go "Party is this way!"

[GM] Peter looks worried... [Sammy] Sammy looks worried too! Well, Sammy looks angry, but in a worried way.

[Joey] Joey is going to scream frustratedly. [Sammy] Is there ink in this room? [GM] There is not. [Jack] Is there a party in this room? [GM] Definitely no, only the party you bring with you.

[Joey] Joey is going to scream again. [Joey] He's also going to kick the door. He might stub his toe. [Sammy] Through all this, Joey is smiling. I just need us all to remember that. [Joey] YES. Also his tail is furiously going. [GM] Bendy is also upset! There is nothing to eat here.

[Joey] Joey is going to try to feed Bendy some ideas, [GM] He doesn't want ideas, he wants food!

[Joey] So.... what happens if you fumble a sanity roll?

[GM] See, here's the silly part. At this point, right? At this point, the best place to do the tasks you want to do, involve either getting the stone out of the room with the safe, or having the staff that Henry is currently holding. [Sammy] So you would arrive, by completely different means, to the same place that we are! [GM] Clearly Joey is inside the safe.

[Jack] Bad and naughty Joey Drews get put in the safe to atone for their sins!

[Henry] Henry is going to channel his inner Joey Drew and round the corner and say "No, sorry about him, we're just here on inspection, we need to check the safe." [Henry] Which is probably a Fast Talk, which I hope it isn't, because my Fast Talk is a 5. [GM] Unless you wanna try to turn that into a persuade somehow? [Henry] I'll do Persuade! [GM] What are you doing to persuade them, rather than just lying? [Henry] *rolls* I failed... I'm gonna push it... [Sammy] *uneasy noises* IF YOU PUSH IT AND IT GOES BAD, IT GOES WORSE [Henry] AH! HAHA! I ROLLED A SIX! [Sammy] THAT'S STILL NOT LESS THAN FIVE! [Henry] WELL IM DOING PERSUADE! [Sammy] That means you have to NOT LIE! [Henry] ....Fuck. [Henry] Okay, uh, there's an emergency, we need the contents of that safe. [Sammy] THATS STILL A LIE??? [Joey] NO actually, THAT'S TRUE! [Henry] It IS an emergency!!

[Sammy] Sammy cannot believe that this is working.

[GM] Bendy does wonder what his plan is for getting out of the safe. This does not seem like a fun party place. [Joey] Um, [Joey] Joey says it's a surprise.

[GM] Henry, the safe does indeed open! And there's a Joey! [GM] Bendy says "Oh wow!" [Henry] Henry tries his best to keep a straight face, like yes! this is exactly what he came here for! [Sammy] (Sammy is NOT keeping a straight face) [Jack] (Straight? In this party?)

[Jack] He's probably saying something like, "What are you doing, he's one of us!" [Jack] And that could go either way. That could mean "No, he's chill, I will persuade you to stop!" Or that could mean, "We are also criminals!"

[GM, as the guards] Then why does he look like the Yellow King's messenger? [Henry] *not missing a beat* We get that a lot.

[GM] Something falls from the sky and lands in front of him. And it's a person! [Joey] Is he alive? [GM] Very much not. [Sammy] How... how Illusion of Living canon-compliant is this Joey...?

[Jack] So... it would probably occur to Jack that this is weird for a party,

[Henry] Joey don't touch it! [Joey] Why not? [Henry] There's runes around it. I don't know if you can touch it. [Joey] Joey's gonna touch it. [Henry] *long-suffering sigh* If you get zapped, I'll tell you I told you so!

[Jack] Jack really wishes we were just back at the party right now, you guys... [Jack] Only bad things have happened. [Jack] Pete's traumatised, Joey's goopy, the Lurker ate all of the snacks,

[Sammy] Can I try to break free from Henry? Sammy's gonna try to run over there. [Henry] At this point, Sam can go, if he wants. [Sammy] Okay, cool. Then Sammy's gonna go and put ink in his mouth! [Henry] Goddammit. I was hoping you were going to check on Joey!

[Joey] You can’t take all of the sanity hits! You have to leave some for other people! [Jack] Says you! You got so many temps!! And an indefinite!!

[GM] Bendy probably is complaining loudly about WHY DID HE WALK THROUGH THE RUNES??? [Joey] Oh! I thought he was going to complain about the party, or lack thereof, [GM] That’s part of not having fun at the party, he’s not into that! [Joey] Well, [GM] This is not a fun party activity!!

[GM] But he doesn’t think it will destroy either of them, if you do it right! [Jack] That’s a nice, way to end that sentence,

[Sammy] Let us hurry! May I take the stone? [Joey] Joey shrugs. [Sammy] Sammy will, uh, attempt to reach inside of... whatever this is, and find the stone. [Henry] Reach INTO your LOCAL boss, and you will find A Friend And Boy,

[Sammy] Is there anything in this room that I can pick up, and then hit him in the head with? [GM] Henry has a stick... uh....there’s a projector.... [Sammy] Can I pick that up? [GM] No, you cannot. [Sammy] It would be REALLY funny if Sammy dropped a projector on someone else’s head. [Sammy] HOW THE TURNTABLES!!!

[GM] ...Can you impale with a rocking horse...???? [Sammy] I don’t want to impale, I want to knock him in the head so he passes out!!! Rest your head, it’s time for bed!!!

[Jack] I don’t think Jack has any plans after this! [Jack] I meant that in the sense that he doesn’t know what he’s doing next, but the way I phrased it, now it just sounds like he’s hitting on Fowler, like, he doesn’t have anything to do after this, are you free? That’s not canon.

[Joey] I don’t know how this will go, [Sammy] Good luck! [Joey] But Joey would like to-- [Sammy] Sammy believes in half of you! [GM] w-which Sammy? wHICH HALF?!

[Jack] I know you said “note.” But my brain at first processed that word as “milk.” [Henry] *laughing* “Did you get my milk, Fowler?” [Jack] He drank the last carton and he didn’t buy more! [Sammy] “I’m going to the store, want me to get anything? *jumps into the lake*”

[GM] Combat Jack! [Jack] *exasperated* He’s not a Combat Boy! Jack is soft and warm, like mashed potatoes!!!

[GM] Norman is wondering to Henry if he oughta be concerned about you all getting what you want out of this. [Henry] .....Maybe.

#call of cthulu: haunted hijinx #joey drew #sammy lawrence #jack fain #when in doubt just keep drawing #tHE PERMASMILE IS MY FAVOURITE THING #we're getting close to end of scenario but boy howdy is everything getting [bass-boosted carmeldansen noises]
