Im actually so glad a lots of people like q!phil and enthusiastic to actually characterize him the way he deserves because his treatment by the fandom in d/smp is CRAZY him from an actual person with smpe! bg reduce to just a ‘support cast’ ‘father figure’ and that it
there are reason why cc!phil step back a bit from rp because imagine you trying to do something to your character and the fandom just treated him so shit and ignore everything he made like amigaaa
For philza enjoyer I am so glad qsmp exists and he finally getting treated decent
And he good at rp too! He a person who doing constant lore it not a big lore stream but he always do lore with interaction! and I am kinda sad that most people just say oh phil? he doesn’t do lore!
Like he almost getting the same treatment from an old fandom lmaooooo
Something about q!wil and q!phil dynamic as father-son ( because cc!wil never lets go of his and phil dynamic after smpe! )
You kinda realize that if their relationship are just friends q!wil excuse for treating q!phil wouldn’t be look over by the fandom this hard
Hell if the person who are ‘father’ is q!wilbur his interaction with q!philza would not be going look over so much!
Them back at the maze q!wil despite the fact that he never been there calling q!phil that he doesn’t care about his child calling him that he weren’t doing enough
It not a valid answer that q!wilbur treating q!phil like shit because ‘phil answer him about the maze are unclear’ YOU STILL DONT TREAT PEOPLE YOU CARE LIKE THAT!
especially the one that been taking care of your child ! while still having his own!!!
‘They both are wrong in the maze!’
I strongly disagree with that statement Imagine raising a child for 6+ months and being there for them in every pain they have helping them grow up to deal with their disappearance ALONE.
And getting yourself kidnapped along the way when you try to find them
To get called that ‘you don't care about them at all do you’ IS WILD
Him just lashing out is like a minimal reaction to me tbh
One things I do understand q!wil pov that he is overwhelmed since everything around him is new.
( that still doesn’t give him any right to treat q!phil like that btw )
but I don’t think q!wil realize that q!phil have responsibilities more than just him.
All the ways to the maze Phil constantly getting whisper ( in canon I called them text Ig lmao ) that he needed to be in this mission not only for the information but for other islanders especially in order to help them as well
And he did told wil about this! that this may be the only chance to see if the federation know anything about tallulah! He did tell him that! And Wil still wanted to leave!
So Phil before lashing out told wil a lots of info that are very important but people just ignoring it
ps. I honestly just don't want a c!phil treatment to happened to q!phil since I still see people calling c!tommy c!phil’s child 😭
So in conclusion, being family doesn’t give any character right to treat other like ass ty for listening to my ted talk/ rambler
( I genuinely think that q!wilbur is a good father for tallulah they care about each other so much and all of the story components you can tell but can we please stop bringing c!fundy to q!wilbur story like I see a lots of people saying that llulah get a father fundy never had and I am like bro they are different character and have nothing related to each other 😭😭😭😭 )

An annoyance I specifically have about qsmp tntduo fics is that they don’t even (usually) try to be like the qsmp versions of the characters. They have them act like dsmp, rivals that have a weird homoerotic tension. While in the qsmp, we’ve had Quackity being obsessed with Wilbur and Tallulah < and being convinced that Wilbur was the dad and tallulah was his kid. This is just the early stuff but it’s annoying how they pretend it’s qsmp when it’s clearly not.
(TNT MUTUALS SKIP THIS POST- SORRY ILY I PROMMY SRY! THIS ENDED UP TURNING INTO A RANT LMAO)
(Also none of this is my griping over what people are allowed to write or draw lol- i'm just bitching for my own sake LOL)
Yeah that's definitely a major part of my annoyance too, not helped by the fact that I also dislike /r c!tnt LOL- And I was actually interested in what q!Tnt as dynamic could've been but canon doesn't offer a whole lot to work with these days and fanon like you said either just makes them a poor man's rehash of c!tnt despite their q! counterparts being VERY different form those men or, like a mutual of mine brought up in their post, reduce q!Quack into this poor sad little wet cloth of a man that ONLY qWilbur could ever understand or fix because he's the ONLY man who actually cares about q!Quackity... just ignore Roier, and Etoiles, and Forever, and Baghera, and Cellbit, and Bagi, and- You get the point lol.
I think my last straw personally was seeing everything that Quack goes through be made to be about Wil- getting Tilin? Him and Wilbur can raise them together despite us knowing Luzu was the other parent! He loses his child? Dw he can raise Tallulah with Wilbur! Quackity's been kidnapped and replaced with Elq? Oh no! Onyl Wilbur will ever care or notice :( Just ignore that Jaiden witnessed this happen- Quackity is back, but his memories are gone and his mind severely messed with? Oh Wilbur will fix him- he'll teach him how to read and write and take care of him and they can be a family alongside Phil Tallulah and Chay! Quackity's been kidnapped again? Oh no only Wilbur will care Part 2 even though everyone quickly noticed Elq isn't Q! Quackity (and Phil) have weird tickets? This must be related to WILBUR somehow?! Quackity's DEAD?!? OH NO- WILBUR WILL BE SO SAD AND DEVASTATED! Quackity's back but extremely traumatized and broken after everything he's been though? He needs Wilbur to hug him and heal him :((((((((((((((-
And I wanna take a brief aside to complain about how people treat them and the eggs too- See I really like Quack and Pepito's dynamic, so I give into temptation and look on Twitter to find fanart of them... only to see them paired with Wilbur and Tallulah... with Quackity's OTHER CHILD Richas nowhere in sight! Because he just... doesn't matter I guess even though the two still care about each other a lot and still call each other father and son! Also the god damned disservice this stuff does for Talsy's character too- yeah she'd so be running over to hug Wil with her current growing resentment of him- but to know that'd require people to acknowledge her as more then just Wilbur's cute little daughter who exists only as an extension of him- SOMETHING SHE'S COMPLAINED ABOUT TO PHIL. But back to Quack...
Would you believe me if I told you people also did this shit during KARMALAND too- A SERIES THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE WILBUR PLAYING IN IT! That during the early days people were CONVINCED that k!Quackity was secretly an amnesiac c!Quackity and he was only drawn to k!Luzu because he reminds him c!Wilbur... yes people really fucking said that and god it made me so mad I won't lie 😭 People can headcanon whatever they want that's fine even if I don't gel with, the thing is it was just everywhere during the early Karmaland V days and people were doing to most to push it 'canon' cuz God forbid Q exist outside of Wil or c!tntduo in this Spanish server.
Listen- I never wanna be That Guy who DEMANDS people stop doing this or that- people can do whatever they want- I get missing a ship, I still miss Karmaland Luckity- I just wished people cared about q!Quack for q!Quack and not just tntduo. q!Quackity is a very flawed screw-up of a man with a big heart whose been through Hell and even though he wants to give up still chooses to keep on going for the sake of his new child- not to mention his mysterious connection to Elq and being forced to be a pawn to Oscurucho! He has a lot going for him outside of his celebrity crush! He has a lot of really good and complex bonds with other characters- he has a strong friendship with Etoiles, Forever tried to look out for him after Quackity lost his memories and Quackity in turn was visibly distressed when Forever went missing, HIS WHOLE THING WITH ROIER- LIKE- Quackity being a major part of the betrayal at the start of the server and Roier in turn ruining Quackity's reputation on the server in revenge but Quackity still tries to help Cellbit fix things with Roier during Festa Junina, Quackity admires the strength of Spiderbit's love to the point that it makes it reconsider his own view of what love is after his fake wedding with Wilbur's cardboard cutout, Roier still tried to help Quackity regain his memories when Quackity found Tilin's old diary, Roier is listed as one of the most important people to Quackity, during his hell coma in the maze portion there are photos of him and Roier everywhere, they even share custody of a child now- but no, Wilbur is the only one who gets or cares about Quackity, okay sure.
Anyway rant over- sorry anon I pretty much just used your ask as an excuse to vent about all my grievances I'm sorry 😭 People can send more anons about this if they want but I prolly won't answer- I don't like to bitch too much on this blog- this is the exception to that LOL I don't hate qWilbur either- I just don't care for q!tnt.

Curtwen hc time! Bc we always need some more of these. (And strap in theres a few—)
First things first, i ADORE your last hc with Curt finding out about Owen first. I love the lines of dialogue beforehand between the two of them so SO much. I like that Owen would be like "stop tickling!" rather than "stop tickling ME", makes him sound more british.
Alr here are my thoughts:
Curt obviously spends a lot of time on his hair to keep it ✨️perfect✨️, but actually so does Owen. Owen uses a lot of product to keep his longer hair silky and soft, while Curt uses product specifically for looks. SO Owen loves that when theyre making out his hair ends up all up in Curt's face. Curts squinting and squirming and like "Owehehen- use a hair tie!" and Owens like "I literally just washed my hair, I'm not going to ruin it now-" so Curt has to suffer through giggles.
I will always and forever adore Barb being unwillingly involved in the boys' lil games, SO— Curt keeps asking and asking Barb to buildnhim somrthing that'll help him get revenge on Owen, but he never specifies what he wants the invention to do. So Barb's like "Mega, if you cant tell me what you want the invention to DO, i cant make one for you!!" and Curt tries to explain it in the vaguest way possible so that 1) she doesnt think he only wants it for himself and 2) itll still do what he wants it to do. And wventually when she connects the dots she teases the hell outta him. Curt makes excuses about the 'bad guys' bring thrown offguard or itd be helpful in interrogations, but Barb says "no one would ever use tickling in an interrogation, Mega" and Curt doesnt have the willpower or pride to correct her.
Owen has ticklish arms. There i said it. He wore a tak top while he and Curt were cuddling, and Curt just traced lines up and down the soft skin of his inner/outer arm. He tries SO FREAKING HARD not to tense his muscles because he knows as soon as he does Curt will notice. So hes just like "Curt could you cut it out? You're nails are itching me." and tries to move out of the way. But Curt senses somethings up and prods him (figuratively and literally) about it until he spills. Owen's laughter from soft tickles is so much different from when he's "getting wreckt". Its very breathy and soft, and he covers his face with the back of his hand to hide himself, but doesnt actively lean away from the feeling. Curt gets heart-eyes and immediately wants to hear more. Owen's throwing insults at him to stop, but he just lays there giggling into the side of the couch.
Finally, LETS👏TALK👏ABOUT👏CURT'S👏TICKLISH👏EARS👏. Our canon. Our bread and butter. Curt originally hates wearing earpieces because Barb hadn't perfected the technology yet and it always buzzed. He got yelled at because one time on a very important mission in Budapest Curt was losing his gd mind with how tingly his ear was feeling and he had to take it off. When Barb couldn't get ahold of him, she knew she'd give him an earfull later. Curt also has issues with Owen. Now, Owen loves Curt's ears. He thinks theyre a cute shape and he loves that theyre so sensitive. Owen adores tracing them and pecking them. Depending on the day, Curt wil either get major goosebumps from Owen, or lose his shiy immediately as he did in the famous interrogation scene. Owen always keeps an ostrich feather in his coat pocket. He rarely uses it, but he likes that Curt knows its always there. Its like its watching him 👀
THAT is all i have, i know it is alot but i am obsessed w these two and i just aAA-
AAAAAAAAA THESE ARE SO FUCKING CUTE I’M DYING I NEED CPR STAT!!! These two are gonna kill me, they’re such fucking dorks I love them I love them I love them! & I love that it makes him sound more British, I didn’t even think of that but now that you pointed it out I can’t stop seeing it!
I absolutely LOVE the difference in hair care between the 2 because they both obsess over their hair in different ways. Curt will style & gel his hair before he even thinks about stepping out the door because he’s always gotta look his best. Meanwhile Owen takes fucking forever after his shower brushing it & putting products in it to help it grow, heal split ends, make it soft, literally the works. Curt’s always like what the hell takes you so long??? & Owen’s just like “you have your hair routine, I have mine”
But it makes his hair so silky smooth & soft & it’s the perfect length to brush against Curt’s neck & ears when they cuddle or make out & it makes him so blushy & giggly because wtf hair shouldn’t tickle! But Owen absolutely loves the fact that he doesn’t even have to use his hands to get him laughing
On a related note, his stubble is the bane of Curt’s existence, it should be illegal
& omg Barb is constantly flipping between extremely amused & very annoyed, these boys never give her a fucking break! She’s so patient with Curt trying to find out what the fuck he actually wants from her, but he won’t stop beating around the bush & is being vague af. So she’s just like “damn if you can’t even say it you can’t be trusted with it” & then he tries to make more of an effort to actually describe what it is he’s looking for & she just gets more amused by the second. & when she says no one would use that in an interrogation he like mumbles under his breath something like “well Owen did” or “must be an MI6 thing” & he’s just being classic sassy Curt but she hears what he said & is like wait a fucking second. “Curt you can’t be serious. Agent Carvour is a professional” & he’s getting flustered & huffy & just goes “yeah, a professional pain in my ass. So can you make it or what?” She has it ready for him by lunch the next day & demands a “full report” on the device’s performance. She even had a sticky note with it that just says “give him hell ;)”
FMVRMAGELW I AM FOAMING AT THE MOUTH RN! TICKLISH ARMS ARE SO UNDERRATED! Sorry for yelling but this really has me in a chokehold. Owen is pretty averagely ticklish in all the normal spots, but I like to imagine he’s a lot more sensitive in harder to reach or more unconventional spots like his arms. Light touches here drive him up the fucking wall ok, he cannot take it whatsoever. Immediately breaks down in a fit of giggles. He tries to hold out, but breathy snickers always force their way out as he squirms around trying to suppress his wide dopey ass grin. Curt thinks it’s the cutest fucking thing he’s ever seen in his life, & he’s right. His forearms are pretty bad & he can’t help but twitch away with a huff of laughter when Curt brushes over the skin there. But his biceps? That’s a good way to kill him. Light tickles there will have him in shrill hysterics & squeezing the muscle will draw out full on belly laughs. Owen didn’t even know he was ticklish there until Curt, & so he was really trying to hide the spot from the both of them. Because what a stupid fucking spot to be ticklish, he did not need to know how sensitive that spot was & he really didn’t need Curt to find out either. But he can’t lie to him, so they went in a little journey of discovery together
Bro we’re so damn lucky that we got canon ticklish!Curt I literally couldn’t believe it! & on his ears no less, like that is legit one of my favorite spots! It’s just so sweet & cute & the way people giggle & scrunch their neck for protection is so kxganssmabfi & that’s his literal introduction to the show!!! Like he legit goes from suave spy who never cracks under pressure to cutest giggly dork in the world in seconds flat! Like wtf they can’t do that to me! But I fucking LOVE how he can’t handle the ear piece because he’s too sensitive there & he just straight up ditches it! & when they ask him about it he’s all dodgy & embarrassed & not giving a straight answer until Cynthia threatens not to pay him for the assignment if he can’t answer her & he just blurts it out, blushing so much & Cynthia just scoffs like “Jesus Mega, that’s it? Why didn’t you just say so, no need to make such a big fucking deal out of it” & he’s so shocked because he honestly expected a lecture about how a spy shouldn’t be ticklish, but she was cool with it??? & she can kinda sense what he’s thinking so she says “look, we’re all human, I get it. I’ll get Barb to make some adjustments” & he thinks that’s the end of it but now she just uses it to tease the shit out of him when he’s least expecting it
His ears are Owen’s absolute favorite spot because Curt is soooo cute & giggly when he tickles him there & it’s one of his worst spots, & he’s a bit of a masochist & likes to bully his boyfriend. & I’m fucking dying thinking about him carrying around that feather all the time “just in case” like just imagine the first time Curt stumbles upon it! Maybe he’s looking for something in his pocket or grabbing his jacket for him & he just freezes & turns completely red. & he pulls it out & looks at Owen like “what the fuck is this???” & Owen looks up & smirks like “well you should know what that is” all smug & shit & he fucking has the audacity to wink at him. He knows exactly what he’s doing, & Curt really can’t handle it
Also worth noting: this is one of the top pics that comes up when you google Owen Carvour
I love them so very much, if you couldn’t tell

Some musings below the cut on the central conceit of how the plot in One Piece Odyssey works and the one blatant (grumpy and dramatic) exception to how that conceit works:
So the central conceit of Odyssey is that at the beginning of the game the Straw Hats have their abilities and strength removed via an NPC's (Lim) mysterious ability, and they have to go back into their memories to regain those abilities, by more or less doing the same things they did before, i.e. defeating the arc big bad. However, the game notes two important things about how this works:
These worlds they are going to are entirely based on their memories. Lim can't just reach in and fix the problem because they aren't hers. And because they're memories, and time has passed, they're not going to remember things perfectly, so events will be slightly changed. (Luffy's bad memory gets blamed for a lot of shenanigans).
The people in the memories are not real, and will see you as you were when the real events occurred. Basically, they're simulacrum.
We go through almost the entire game encountering familiar friends and enemies--and god, if you want a good cry, go look up Luffy's extremely subtle, heartbreaking reaction to seeing Ace in Alabasta--and no one ever questions the irregularities of what's going on. The Straw Hats, as one might expect, are not subtle talking about the fact that they're reliving their own memories with a slightly different coat of paint. But here's the thing: no one really calls them on it.
Vivi is a little confused, especially about where Lim came from, but she doesn't say anything. Kuzan wonders a little about things when they run into him in Water 7. And Kizaru comments on how fast they seem to have gotten back together at Marineford, considering he was pretty sure they were all separated at Sabaody.
But then we get to Dressrosa. And for a bit, it seems like the same sort of thing. Rebecca and Sabo don't really comment on anything, and it seems like business as usual.
And then Law falls from the sky, immediately starts trauma dumping about his reasons for being there, and passes the fuck out, and has to be carted around while Chopper yells at Luffy to leave him alone.
But here's the thing: Law, as far as we know, never elaborates on his reasons beyond "hey, Doflamingo's brother saved my life, and then Doflamingo killed him" in canon. And that's enough for Luffy, so he doesn't have to. But he's way more explicit in the game, about something he never told anyone, which means they shouldn't be able to remember it.
He also is immediately suspicious of Lim. He pulls a "what's with this sassy lost child" on her as soon as he's conscious, and she gets very defensive.
This Law is a memory. He's not real. Which means the Straw Hats collectively remember him (rightly) as a paranoid bastard with all of the Trauma Warning Lights flashing neon. And they remember he's smart enough to put context clues together.
And then he effectively just breaks the rules.
The memory Law has of Rosinante is so damn strong that Lim's memory magic goes haywire and effectively summons him from nowhere to fight Doflamingo. Lim explicitly comments that she's not doing this, he is, and that's insane. This isn't the real Law. This is a memory. And the memory of this memory is so strong it's able to summon a completely new memory that none of the Straw Hats have. They don't know who Rosinante is. They've never seen him before.
What do the Straw Hats think of Law to give his echo this much power? How much of an impression has he made on them in such a relatively short period of time? (This would also be nebulously chronologically pre-Wano, so nothing that happens there applies. Robin hasn't talked to him yet, even).
I dunno, I realize that this moment was probably more or less included as fanservice, but it opens up a lot of questions. Trafalgar "fuck your rules" Law, everybody.
(Also don't think too hard about how memory!Law got to thank Rosinante and that real!Law will never get that same moment of closure. Think instead about the genuinely astonished look on Doflamingo's face when his dead brother showed up. Or Lim calling Law out on the fact that regardless, Law will help Luffy again and watching him get all defensive about it, the grump).

Chronicles of Amber Fancast
Prefacing this with what I actually want from a Chronicles of Amber series is that tweet about not actually wanting an all star cast but ten unknowns and a scriptwriter that is deeply unwell. But if I'm gonna pick and choose big name actors here is who I would like based mostly on vibes, attractiveness (to me), and the likelihood it would really upset certain subreddits. AKA everything important in life. Mainly just the children of Oberon in the first five books bc it's already long enough as is.
Corwin - Oscar Isaac
Charismatic enough to make me forget how much I fucking hate Corwin, also he can sing. Thanks to Moon Knight we know he can totally rock "Protag who is just as confused as the audience as to what is going on" which is v important for Nine Princes In Amber.
Benedict - Idris Elba
Tall, 100% Done With This Family's shit, can carry the vibes of someone who only doesn't have the throne because he doesn't want it and everyone agrees if that was different he'd just have it.
Eric - Taika Waititi
Can balance both absolute piece of trash bag of dicks while still being charismatic which is really what's important about Eric.
Deirdre - Kali Reis
You want a battle maiden you'll get a battle maiden. If anything the main problem here is there's no way on god's green earth you could convince me she'd need Corwin and/or Random to come to her rescue for anything, but hey adaptations are for changing things.
Fiona - Sophie Turner
For all the redheads I thought it'd be important to pick people who normally play affable everymen/heroes/people you're used to seeing as goodguys, even if the nature of adapting a book series that's older than most of the people you'd cast in it means the 'big twist' of who the traitors are is something everyone sees coming. So someone well practiced at ingenues would be perfect for the actual baddest bitch in charge.
Bleys - K. J. Apa
We're gonna give him a better dye job than Riverdale though okay I promise.
Brand - Jack Quaid
Absolutely 'just this guy you know' vibes. Easy to overlook. Would YOU believe he was the big bad? Come on.
Llewella - Halle Bailey
Yes I'm making a Little Mermaid joke, try and stop me. But also given how shafted she was in the books I think it's important to use someone who can do a lot with having few speaking lines (though hopefully again that would be fixed in an adaptation)
Caine - Vico Ortiz
Literally I just want to watch them doing all the scenery chewing bullshit you know Caine has to get up to while they are manipulating and spycrafting their way through shit. Can fully believe they'd pull a finding a copy of themself to kill and leave so people don't know they're still around behind the scenes. Especially in their Blackbeard fit, come on.
Julian - Conrad Ricamora
Did I just cast my absolute most favorite Mister Darcy as my number one blorbo Julian? Call the fucking cops on me idgaf. His resting bitch face and sarcasm are second to none. Also watch Fire Island (2022) on Hulu.
Gérard - Jason Momoa
Along with being the biggest canon kinda implies he's also the hottest of all of Oberon's sons so absolute massive dreamboat Jason Momoa it is. Also for the lolz of him and Vico being the navy people.
Florimel - Jamie Clayton
Did you ever see a woman so beautiful you started crying?
Random - Bex Taylor-Klaus
They can absolutely go through the journey of youngest sibling in the jester position/fuckup because who cares > most responsible one after all.
BONUS
Bill Roth - Wil Wheaton
Look I adore his narration of the last five Amber books!!! I want him somewhere so the reliable chillax lawyer from earth who somehow just rolls with becoming the family lawyer for what amounts to gods of reality. I know I said I actually want a bunch of unknowns for the actual series but I will cry at whoever I must to make this happen. Please.

One Shot *Requested* Alternative Route - MGR SMAU/Fic drabble
NOT PROOFREAD, so please ignore all the errors. I was dipping in and writing this in between writing Chapters 15 and 16 of HHP and the latest chapter of MT.
So this is one of many, alternative routes that I had in mind when drafting of MGR, yet the one i'm sharing is the one that I nearly went with before i decided with the one i consider canon on my masterlist. This one shot will take you all the way up til the very part of the first smut scene in chapter 10 of MGR.
The other alternative routes...were a bit more....mmm....dire and extreme. Essentially, had Heethan not get y/n....there would have been blood and alot of things he woul dhave done that would of essentially left y/n no choice but to go with him in order to 'tame the beast' but i honestly couldn't see his character doing that so soon...NOW...if it was in regards to y/n breaking off with him and he was getting her back...that's a different story.
Warnings: Mentions of pornography (a couple making a video), drinking, slight bit of forceful kissing, grabbing, and caressing. I think that's it.
The day started off slow as he made his way through campus, mazing through the fresh student populace that swarmed the campus grounds.
“God…man…so many newbies. I fucking hate first year students sometimes.” One of his peers remarked.
“Yeah man, but we were in that same boat just three years ago, remember?” Jake, his friend exclaimed with a dashing smile as he sends a wink to the new females exploring the grounds.
“Hey Ethan, isn’t your girlfriend one of the new first year termers?” another male issues out as the group stood, observing all the new and younger students.
“….Yeah.”
Heeseung was quiet, reserved, and paid no mind to the new students swerving their way around his tall frame. All the younger girls remarked how dangerous, and intimidating he looked, yet he had sex appeal and was so handsome, one by one, and unintentional by nature, Heeseung had every girl swooning without so much as glancing over their way. The younger boys grew jealous of the frequent whispers that circulated every girl’s ear, remarking how strong his bad-boy vibes were, unlike his friend Jake, who had a friendly and charming aura about him.
Facing their final year in college, Heeseung and the group had become very well known on campus, amongst both teacher and student. They were respected and admired by everyone and had a lot of leeway when it came to class participation, prep-work, and being the teachers aid.
“Hey man isn’t that her? Vicky?” one of the males from the group remarked excitingly as he lays his eyes on the glamorous beauty from a far.
Heeseung turns, and yes, it was Vicky that his peer had pointed out. Looking all primp and pretty as usual, walking amongst her large posse as they make the rounds to familiarize the locations of their classes. She didn’t notice him, or Jake and the others, so it was natural that the boys would take turns making comments in regards to her upscaled and fashionable beauty.
“Ethan my man…I gotta hadn it to you, you know how to get them. She’s a knockout.”
“Good job man.”
“Fucking aye…she’s hot.”
Jake merely smiled laconically as he looked at the ground, none of them had knowledge of what he already knew, being that he was Heeseung’s best friend and had known him the longest, Jake knew everything about Heeseung’s personal life and his relationship with Vicky, which happened to be strained and on the edge of non-existence, it was only a matter of time for Heeseung to find it appropriate to break it off with her. He intended to that coming weekend.
But then he saw his girlfriend’s roommate…
“Oh my God….who is that?”
One of the group members remarks in a gasp. Jake was already enveloped by a deep text conversation with his new girlfriend, who he was very fond of.
“Hey man I’ll be right back, going to step aside and call my girlfriend. She’s going to be coming to this school too, in a few months she’s going to transfer.” Jake remarks as he pats Heeseung’s crossed arms before making his way over to a quieter place in the gardens to chit-chat with his girl.
Watching him walk away as he dials his significant other, Heeseung merely smirks to himself as he noticed how his friend had been so smitten with this newly acquired girlfriend, yet he was happy for him even though, he wish he could be that happy.
For Heeseung, life was boring and somewhat disappointing. Truly the man had it all, good looks, a great future ahead, and he could get any girl he wanted, and from what it appears, he had the best one, Vicky. Yet he was bored and felt unfulfilled. Despite Vicky being sweet and a caring person, just like the rest of his girlfriends in the past, she had her priorities mixed up and would often hang out with the wrong people. She was too enhanced by luxury and money, that her rid her of the good senses that she barely had when he first met her.
“Bro, Ethan, if you’re not going to turn around and look, can you step aside? You’re blocking the view. I need to see more of her…” one of the boy’s states, internally snapping Heeseung from his pensive state.
‘Just what are they swooning over? They already saw Vicky, so what the hell are they-‘
Turning around to glance at the view, Heeseung swallowed his words…and his heart. His eyes shifted in fast pace while his mouth parted slowly, yet gradually came to a gawking form as he took in the sight that took his breath away.
He saw his girlfriend’s roommate…you.
……………………..
“Did you break up with Vicky? How did it go?” Jake asks, under the impression that Heeseung followed through with his plan to break it off with his girlfriend after catching on to her repeated mistakes, which had been conducted on numerous occasions, yet, she couldn’t take the full blame, for if Heeseung was giving her the attention she craved for, she wouldn’t be needing to seek it elsewhere, however, had she not made the mistake in the first place, back when she was in high school, he would have undoubtedly given it to her, but since it had happened, he let her starve.
‘I should have called it off a long time ago…when I caught her the first time…but if I had…does that mean….’
“I didn’t break it off with her…not yet.”
“Bro?? Why? I thought you said you were doing that today?” Jake looked over to his friend wide eyed. Surprised as he knew how unhappy his friend had become with Vicky’s infidelity.
Looking over to the man that he’s known his whole life, the one true friend he had and could rely on, Heeseung shifted his sights to the floor bed of the car before looking back up to the younger boy’s eyes, watching him placing the car in park.
“Because of her roommate…”
……………………..
After spending a few moments explaining how he had seen you from a far, and that he could not place himself in an awkward position by breaking it off with Vicky, just to turn around and start speaking to you, Heeseung convinced his friend that he needed to buy time, he needed to meet you first, and the only way he could do that is through Vicky.
Nearly a week later when Vicky had arranged for Heeseung to come drop off some belongings, his heartbeat increased upon seeing the last bit of her text message:
“Come over and please bring my stuff. Also, you can meet my roommate, she’s really nice and we’ve become friends.”
‘It’s finally happening. I’m going to meet her…’
Upon realizing that he was finally going to meet you, Heeseung couldn’t control his excitement. Dipping into his Ethan self while swapping back out to his normal state, the man was elated at the prospect of meeting you, knowing full well that he had fallen into the state of love at first sight upon seeing you.
The day he met you, he couldn’t breathe. He tried to make it less obvious although he was quite certain that you noticed him staring at you. You were at least polite to pretend not to notice and avoid awkwardness, which he sincerely appreciated since he couldn’t help it.
Admiring you, he gawked internally as he takes in the finer details of your face, your body, and your hair. Everything about you was…
‘Perfect…’
The man was in a daze the second he saw you at close proximity. The moment he heard your voice in that same distance, it felt as if his heart stopped beating.
‘She is so…God…I have to have her.’
The blissful event of meeting you were cut somewhat short upon Gabe, an acquaintance of Vicky’s, much to Heeseung’s dismay, came sauntering in as if he had owned the place.
Ill mannered, ignorant, and overconfident though everyone knew he was scum of the earth that liked to flash his father’s status a tool to get the attention and devotion of girls, like Vicky, Heeseung slightly snarled under the bill of his cap as he watched the man embrace Vicky in a familiar manner.
It wasn’t that he really cared at this point, not after what he’s seen between the two in secrecy, much to their unawareness of the fact. The reason behind his distaste of the man’s presence, aside from him being one of the worst people he’s ever known, was the fact that he was standing right across from you, being presented to you as he introduced himself, and worse…
‘Is he really standing there asking for a hug from her? Can’t he tell she doesn’t want to?’
The moment Heeseung sensed that your hesitancy was out of discomfort as Gabe had pressed the issue for a familiar sense of skinship, one that you obviously were not willing to give out so freely as you had just met the man, you took an inch step back as you tried not to make a scene of awkwardness seeing as Vicky stated that this man was very close to her. Yet he was so forceful on the matter, it didn’t help that he was eyeing you down and didn’t even dare to hide it. He was rude, inconsiderate, and impolite, and Vicky merely stood there with a nervous look on her face as you leaned back trying to find a way to relieve yourself of this situation.
Heeseung watched, observed for the very moment that he could use as an excuse to use a bit of force, and he got it. It didn’t take long, in fact, he was hoping he would get the opportunity to smash the man’s face in, it was long overdue as far as he was concerned. Yet this time, it was much more personal as Heeseung felt not only offended by Gabe’s nerving nature, but also, he was angry at the fact that you were the man’s target.
‘He has no right to ask her for anything because…she’s mine.’
Internally claiming you as his own, Heeseung couldn’t help it as he knew…he was already obsessed with your beauty, your kindness, your soft and sweet voice and the words that you spoke with it. He wanted to see and hear more of you, witness all sides of you, and to see your face when you’re experiencing pleasure and pain. He wanted it all.
Noticing you moving back from Gabe’s pushiness, Heeseung swiftly stepped in between the gap that Gabe was closing in between you two. With his arm looping around your waist, he twirls you around and behind him as he makes his way to insert his tall…much taller and broad frame right in front of you. It was faint, but you felt the grip of his hand and fingers digging into you as he slightly pulls you in up against his back, as if he was wanting you to grab on to him. The sight before you as you slightly turned to face forward after being moved was the spectacular view of his broad back and shoulders. Even with the leather jacket he had on, you could make out the muscles of his stature as he took on a stance of authority.
With Vicky stepping in, and Gabe hushing his demeanor as it was evident that the man was frightened by Heeseung, all came to a resolve, though it was begrudging. Shocked at how Vicky sided with Gabe, you felt a bit odd and sympathetic for the man who slowly whisked his hand away from you as Vicky confronted him for his handling with Gabe.
The only reason why Heeseung had toned his demeanor down was for your sake. Being that it was your first time meeting him, he didn’t want to go overboard all at once and show off a side that might scare you…not now at least.
Though he was a man that would avoid confrontation at all costs, he felt the urge to not only welcome it, but to initiate it with Gabe should he witness the man put his hands on you. Heeseung was a man of necessity, if the situation didn’t call for it, he didn’t bother. Yet with you…you were the exception. For you, he’d crossed with world over the Seven Seas and travel to Hell and back in an instant, putting aside his rationality just for the sake of making you happy or proving himself to you.
‘I love you…I want you to be mine.’
Internally he scoffed himself, he knew it from the moment he first saw you on campus, yet it still was unbelievable that the man found himself to be in love with you…love at first sight.
Days and weeks later, Heeseung got to build his own bond with you by one-on-one interaction. After the altercation with Gabe, you found to trust ‘Ethan’ as you knew him by, not even aware of his birth name since he only allowed a select few to address him as such, with you, he would have given anything to hear you call him by it. But he was patient at sensing that you were the type to move slowly when it came to building bonds, especially with men.
It intrigued him, really. He could sense and tell by your nature and demeanor around campus, that the way you carried yourself was traditional and formal in the etiquette of interacting with the opposite sex. You were poised, composed, and despite your moments of letting loose and being relaxed with your words, your mannerisms with him, you weren’t that way with all the other males. In fact, the moment you had told him that you were okay with him staying inside the dorm room while he waits for Vicky to finish classes, he was beyond thrilled, not just because you allowed him to stay inside to wait while basking in your presence, it was what you said following after you extended the offer.
“If you want, whenever Vicky is finishing up with classes you can wait inside instead of your car.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah, I don’t mind. Normally I don’t trust men, but I think you’re a good person and I don’t mind your company.”
He figured you were just being polite and considerate at first, so he insisted that he would wait in the car, wanting to make sure you felt comfortable, despite him really wanting to stay in the same room as you. The moment you provided clarity and told him that you trusted him, that you enjoyed his company and that you thought of him in a positive manner, he became so flushed that he had to look away in the opposite direction as he laid on Vicky’s bed.
Knowing full well that he could just go and pick up Vicky right outside the building her classes were in, he chose to wait inside just to be with you. Since Vicky, or Vik as he always referred to her as, would opt to get a ride with one of her friends, or from Gabe, Heeseung never pressed the issue to insist on picking her up. As far as he was concerned, the more time he has alone with you, the better.
During the many moments where he waited inside the room, he noticed a band on your ring finger. It was plain and silver colored. One day, as he pretended to be on his phone while he secretly was admiring you from across the room, watching as you were engaged with your homework with a movie playing in the background on your laptop, you hear him softly asking about the band on your finger.
“Did your boyfriend give you that ring?”
“Hmm? Oh this one? Yeah. Well actually, I picked it out, along with another one that I gave to him. I thought it would be nice for us to have matching rings since he was going off to college that year when I was finishing my senior year, but he doesn’t get to wear his often because of football practice.”
You explained the matching rings. After you had eluded the excuse that Samuel issued you, about not wearing the ring due to his sporting hobby, Heeseung stared at you, though you couldn’t tell since his eyes were covered by his cap, which you had noticed he was always wearing, not once seeing him without it. You made an internal joke to yourself about how you’ll never see what ‘Ethan’s’ face will look like since he always has his hat on.
While you were smirking to yourself, he continued to look at you, because something hit him and left a terrible taste in his mouth.
‘The guys and I play basketball…when I see them, they always have their necklaces, rings, or even bracelets on. I wear my rings, and they don’t even have meaning behind them like the one she gave to that boyfriend of hers….what the hell does he mean that he can’t wear it because of football practice? He can’t even put it on afterwards? That man…he has her and he doesn’t appreciate her?’
As if that wasn’t enough, the more days that followed where Heeseung was in the room with you as he waited for Vicky, he noticed many more evidence of what he assumed to be, your boyfriend’s infidelity, though it was obvious that you didn’t notice….or that you pretended not to.
Every day, he witnessed you texting the young man, reminding him to eat healthy, to play safe, and to drink plenty of water, something that no other woman has ever done for him while he was away for merely a week or two. You, being away from Samuel for more than a year, had the commitment and loyalty to not only avoid and ignore all the males on campus, but you were also reaching out to him…only to be left with no response, ignored, not even receiveing a single phone call or message back. Yet, you remained unchanged as you kept reaching out to show your love and devotion. For Heeseung to see this, it stunned him and made him yearn for you even more, to the point where he would have done anything…anything to get you.
Some nights, he would get a message or phone call from you, asking him if he could meet up with you and Vicky to help transport her back to the dorm.
‘Hi, Ethan? I’m so sorry to bug you but Vicky’s drunk again, the girls called me but I can’t get her to walk. Can you pick her up?’
‘I’ll come get you both. Where are you?’
You’ll never know how worried and angry he would get upon finding out that you would be caring enough to leave the comfort and safety of your own dorm room at 2 or 3 am in the morning, just to meet up with Vicky and her posse and trying to find a way to get her back to safety. He wished that those nights, you would just call him instead of leaving your room, yet…at the same time, he was always glad to have you seated next to him on the front passenger seat, listening and picking out music from his playlists as he always offered his phone to you and tell you “listen to whatever you want.”
In a way, it was a blessing for him, since it was a way for him to spend more time with you, even with Vicky laying passed out on the back seat.
One night, however, he…or rather you, took it too far.
You didn’t think anything big of Melissa ‘Mel’s’ request for you to come out since it made sense. The girls all lived in the opposite direction, and since you were Vicky’s roommate, it only was appropriate for you to come out the last bit of their night to keep a watchful eye on Vicky.
What you didn’t consider, was the fact that once you had met up with the girls, they, along with some of the older male friends, all took you and Vicky to another party that was nearly an hour away. It was a beach house that belonged to one of the male’s that belonged to a frat from another university that was nearby the beach home, and the contents of the house was less than reproach as you witness the full acts of indecency that you had ever witnessed.
To say the house was filled with liquor would have been an understatement, not to mention, the moment you had mistakenly lost Vicky as you stepped out for a moment to try and call a cab or an uber, only to find that not one was available around the local area. Returning back inside, you wandered around trying to find where she had run off to.
Stumbling into a room, you witness in full sight that you walked into what you could only gather from the surroundings, was a couple engaged in sexual acts while being filmed. Upon entering by mistake, you hear both, the man and woman yell at you to get out, with one of the males recording it asking if you wanted to join in. Not bothering to answer, you immediately leave, and hurried to find Vicky.
The moment you finally found her, your heart sank as you saw the person she was standing next to.
‘Oh no…is that?...Dammit….it’s Gabe…’
Without saying a word to him, you walked up and snagged Vicky by the arm and began making your way out with her. Not knowing where the rest of the girls went to, you immediately made your way to the door and out across the road where a bus bench was located.
Taking Vicky’s phone, you looked through and found ‘Ethan’s’ number and proceed to call, not text.
It was a Friday night at approximately 2:30 am, Heeseung already figured that despite his caller ID display Vik’s name, he knew it was you calling to see if he could pick her drunken state up, in which he wasn’t always pleased to see you out of your room at this hour, but if it meant him getting to see you, he would put it his displeasure behind.
“Hey what’s up?”
“Ethan? Hey it’s…y/n.”
Though he wasn’t at all happy that you were out of your room so late at night, he always put on a face and acted cool about it. Chuckling remarked the routine nature of the Friday night phone calls.
“I figured. It’s two am on a Friday, I’m assuming Vicky needs to be picked up again?”
“Yeah…but…we’re kind of far…”
His breath slightly hitched.
“Where…are you?”
“Well…the girls and Vicky wanted to go with these guys that they met…from a party at the Zeta house…and they took us to some beach house about an hour away.”
‘An hour….?? What the…’
Immediately jumping out of his bed and grabbing his hat and keys, he started to make his way out to his car as he asked you of your whereabouts.
“What street or town are you in?”
“Umm…the street is called Blvd de France…I’m not sure what the town is called, but the beach housing community is called Parisi de Marcan.
Typing in the name of the housing development onto his map app, his eyes widened upon seeing that you were roughly an hour and a half out.
‘How could she have left and gone out so far…alone…without someone to protect her?…Without me?’
Closing his eyes out of anger and irritation, he licked his lips as he placed the phone back on his ear.
“Alright listen, stay where you are. Don’t move. I’m coming for you guy’s, it’s going to take me an hour and a half. If you need to, go inside a nearby store or something, but do not get into anyone else’s car or go anywhere. Understand?”
Taking notice of how firm his voice became, you nodded your head as you issued a soft “yes” in response.
“And don’t go back into that house either.” He issued.
You responded in the affirmative once more before you both hung up.
With Gabe overlooking from the balcony on the house, he kept eyeing you and Vicky across the street, you took notice as you continued to avoid him as he would yell out, bidding for you to come back inside and hang out.
You saw for what felt like an eternity, with Vicky passed out, you had her lay on the bench as her head rested on your lap. You kept checking your phone to watch the time, as you were eager for Ethan to show up. Being in this unfamiliar place with no one by your side was unsettling. You didn’t like the feeling.
Finally, you got a text from Ethan.
“Send me a pin, I’m nearby.”
You sent him a pin of your exact location, and not a minute too soon, you saw his car pull up right in front of you with Vicky laying on your lap on the bench.
Quickly placing the car in park, he comes out, dressed in black straight jeans along with a black t-shirt that had the logo “Thisisneverthat” on the front. Of course, and as usual, he paired the ensemble with a black fitted baseball cap.
Coming right to you and Vicky, he merely says “get inside the car” as he immediately swings Vicky over his shoulder, and places her inside the back seat. You did as he bids as you got inside, seated yourself, and placed your seatbelt on.
Once he got Vicky laying on her side on the backseat, he shuts the door and makes his way to the driver’s seat. You felt terrible, despite Ethan being so nice and helpful all the time, you figured he had to be irritated and angry for driving so far off at such a late hour on a Friday night, to pick up his girlfriend and her stranded roommate. You would feel the same if you had to drive over an hour away.
Thinking about how the conversation between him and Vicky was going to go down, your pensive state was snapped the moment you hear someone from outside the vehicle shouting at the car. It was Gabe, and another male who you assumed was Gabe’s friend.
You watched as they jumped in front of the car, which was so foolish consider Ethan was already in mid drive. Stopping on time from hitting the two idiots with his car, he hits the breaks somewhat hard, causing you and Vicky to jolt forward. Ethan didn’t seem to have such movement affect him as he was already undoing his seatbelt and placing the car on park the moment his foot hit the pedal. Getting out without saying a single word, you watched through the windshield as he approaches the two men. Once again, you had a view of his broad and wide back shoulders, he looked so powerful with the way he walked and took on a defensive stance as he placed one hand on his hip, while the other remained at his side, slightly tucked behind his leg as you watched him carry out an act that you’ve never seen him do before, him cracking his knuckles.
Watching, you observed closely with slight intrigue. You watched as the hand remained slightly behind his thigh, beginning with the index finger, he places it under the pad of his thumb as he pops it. Then he moves on to the next finger, and the next, and so forth. Carrying on with one finger after the other, as he remained facing the two males and received their drunken slurred berated line of insults, Ethan merely stood and popped his knuckles on each finger, and merely waited.
‘What is he waiting for-‘
You were cut off from mid thought as you noticed the male standing beside Gabe took a swing towards Ethan. From that moment, you witnessed something incredible about Vicky’s boyfriend.
His movements were swift, silent, and deadly. He moved and glided around as if he was dancing, it was smooth and effortless, yet the moment he maneuvered around the two men as they each took turns taking empty blows, you watched as Ethan would, not throw, but snap out a whipping hit with his freshly popped knuckles as he conducted precise aim and poise. He was hitting all the soft and vulnerable spots as he ducked, slid, and glided. Raising his hands to slingshot a popping blow to either Gabe’s lower back, or his friend’s throat, Ethan had the two men on their knees girdling in pain within seconds.
It all happened so fast that you couldn’t help but question yourself.
‘What….how? How did he do that?’
Once he had the two boys on the ground, he walked back to his car, without so much as breaking a sweat or breathing deeply.
The hour and a half drive back was excruciatingly awkward. He didn’t’ carry out his routine habit of passing you his phone and telling you to play whatever you wanted. He didn’t carry out his habit of asking you to look back and check on Vicky’ to make sure she was still laying on her side. Instead, you took the initiative to do that on your own as you would occasionally glance back at her, still making sure that she was okay and sleeping.
You became confused when he pulled up at his frat house versus the dorm. Asking him about it, he merely responded without even looking at you.
“Vicky had a lot to drink. I’ll have her sleep inside the spare room tonight.”
You nodded at his resolve, it made sense, she was his girlfriend, so naturally he was worried and probably peeved with concern at the fact that she had so much to drink and was so far away.
“Can you grab her shoes?” he asks, to which you nodded in response as you trailed behind him with Vicky slung over his shoulders.
Walking up the stairs, he takes a quick pause in his movement at the hall. You look around, being that this was your first time inside the frat home that Ethan resided in, you observed and saw to your left, was a narrow hallway led to a small foyer that had one door to it. To your right, the hallway extended with a series of doors located across from one another.
Taking her shoes from your hands by the straps, he issues a nod to you as he looked beyond you and eyeballs his door over towards the left side of the hallway where the single door remained in the small foyer. He whispers for you to go inside his room and wait there while he tucks in Vicky.
You nodded as you looked down on the ground. Not thinking anything too deep into it, you figured he had some questions or maybe even wanted to give you a small talk about you and Vicky putting yourselves at risk and being irresponsible…which you deeply had felt like you were. How could you allow for the girls to go along with those men? How could you allow Vicky to go with? How could you let yourself go along not even knowing where you would end up being at? How? So stupid of you.
Entering his room, you took int eh warmth of the atmosphere as the lights were all off, yet a single lamp dimmed with lukewarm lighting remained on to provide a glow of ambience. Even though the temperature of the night was warm, being that it was the middle of summer, it nearly felt cold to you now that you were in his room, which felt so warm and comforting. You stood in the middle, admiring at how clean and neatly furnished his room was.
Hearing the door open from behind, you turn to see Ethan coming in, his face was looking down at the knob as he gently closed the door and locked it.
Approaching you slowly, you asked how Vicky was, trying to ease the tension that you felt as you could sense the anger in his presence, which you had felt was warranted until he spoke out.
“Is Vicky alright-“
“What the hell were you thinking?” He lashes out in a deep voice. It was calm still, yet louder than normal. It was harsh and stern.
Your eyes widened for a second before they drifted down to the floor as you stood with your fingers linking together in front of your waist as you delicately stood with your elbows bent. He took noticed of your stance, the way your hair flowed down and draped your elegant body as you were still wearing the outfit you wore to class, which was a white button up fitted Henley shirt, with sleeves that reached and ended right before it reached your wrists, where you adorned a simple bracelet. Matching with the Henley shirt was an elastic mini, form fitting skirt that was of the same material as your top. A cute outfit your mother had made for you when you found out you were accepted in the college.
Paired with a simple pair of platformed tennis shoes, the form of your curves and lining of your body was revealed by how the outfit fitted you like a glove. Your hair decorating your chest and torso as it framed your face only enhanced your appeal…all of which he loved seeing you in, except now he was angry for considering how drop dead gorgeous you looked, you went out and were at risk of being in harm’s way, despite your best intentions.
‘How could she be so far away…looking like that...Does she have any idea what those guys would have possibly done?’
It was beginning to be hard for him to stay angry with you the moment he took in your appearance. It was his first time seeing you that day, since Vicky went straight over to one of the girl’s residence to get ready for a night of party, and you were left alone in your dorm studying, watching movies, and calling your family, not even bothering changing out of your clothes as you immediately laid and got comfortable in the soft material that hugged your body.
“…Sorry..I wasn’t.” You finally responded at his words he lashed out.
“Do you have any idea what could have happened?...to you?”
Your eyes shifted to the wall as you slightly furrowed your brows. You figured he was so irritated that he forgot to include Vicky’s name in his statement, only to find out that his consideration for the safety and well-being was not at all in regards to her. It was with you.
Taking a step towards you, you shifted your gaze at him as you watched his face, though his eyes remained covered by the bill of his cap as usual, though it didn’t make you feel any easier to see him with the familiar sense of mystery as his nose and mouth were the only features that were exposed.
Stepping over towards you, closing in the distance, you started to step back as he speaks out.
“Every single night…I worry. Every single night, I fear. Every single night, I am scared because of something like tonight, happening without me knowing. Why would you go out there by yourself? Why? Especially with that creep, Gabe?”
His tone only got louder, and you continued to step back until your back met the wall. You were confused, why was he talking about…you? Just you.
“I…didn’t know that Gabe would be there…but why are you-“
Here merely stood, raising his head as he tilts his face back to reveal his eye from beneath his cap.
The one eye that he willfully revealed to you, was wide with pain and anger as he slightly bit down on his bottom lip.
“What do I have to do to make you understand just how much I…”
His voice was calm and low. He doesn’t finish his sentence, instead he stares at you as his eye lids grew heavy, and his mouth remained delicately shut as he takes a hard swallow, shifting his Adam’s apple while doing so.
You stood there, your brows furrowing more and more at the realization that you were slowly coming to noticing.
‘Is Ethan…in love with me?’
You started to shake your head slowly as you inched your way off to the side trying to move away as he came closer, just looking at you with tired looking eyes and a closed mouth. The tension was rising, you could feel it, you could sense it. Shit…right now, you could even see it. The way he was looking at you, with his eyelids growing heavier by the second as he peered down at you, glanced you up and down as he took in the curves of your figure, the subtle exposure of amount of skin you displayed, majority of it on your legs as your skirt ended mid-thigh, while the a faint bit of your cleavage peeked out from the opened buttons of your shirt.
“Why would you?....When I’m right here…” he whispered as he gently and very faintly, shook his head.
“Ethan…Ethan wait..”
“Why?”
“Ethan….Ethan don’t-!”
You were cut off as you tried to avoid his movements as he came in closer. Placing his hands on the wall behind you, caging you in and trapping against his broad chest, you immediately placed your hands on his chest instinctively as you gently started to push, in which he only responded by pushing back as he leaned in closer. He was tall, yet this close, he appeared even taller.
“Ethan…what are you-“
You words were cut off by his act of taking his hand and moving a piece of your hair away from your face as he leans his face in towards your ear. He was so close; his chest was pressing up against your breasts as you felt plastered up against the wall behind.
“Ethan…we…we cant….please-“
“Why?....Tell me why…” he softly whispers into your ear, nuzzling his nose against the hair surrounding it.
“Because…you and…Vicky…” your breath hitches as you felt him press in deeper against your hair, his lips…faintly touched the skin of your jawline.
“Yeah…what if I told you that that was over…that Vicky made her choice…what then? y/n?”
You stared off to the side onto his empty desk as you took in his words. You had a sense, with how Vicky acted around Gabe, it was somewhat obvious that she had built a more than friendly relationship with him. But that still didn’t mean…
“We can’t…Ethan we just…we can’t.” you reiterated as you winced your eyes shut in feeling his face nuzzling into you, only this time, he shifted down into the nook of your neck. The hand that moved the piece of hair away from your face moves to the other side of your neck as you felt his fingertips dragging up and down the length of it, with his thumb extending and stroking your jawline.
“Tell…me….why…y/n…” he breathes out each word with a slight growl in his voice.
“Because…I have a boyfriend.”
“I don’t think you do.”
Your eyes widened as you shifted your head to snap away from his face as he tenderly nuzzled into you. You glared at him for his audacity.
“You know I do….stop with what you’re doing! I don’t-“
“Where’s your ring…y/n?”
His calm and low tone as he softly asked you the whereabouts of your ring, the one you wore every single day since Samuel left for college in your Senior year, Heeseung took notice as he saw that it was no longer on your finger. Instead, a light ring of skin, un-kissed from the sun was temporarily marked around its place, or lack thereof.
You gasped. Your breath hitches as you stared at him wide eyed with the tears slightly building up and glossing over your peepers as you completely forgotten that you took off your ring and threw it in the small pond on the campus garden earlier that day…after you sent your last text to Samuel, which was once again, left with no response. Throughout this whole time, you knew deep down that you were no longer his muse, yet you tried…at least you can say that you tried. He didnt.
After so many months…actually a year to be exact, of issuing out countless texts and phone and phone calls, you finally accepted the truth, whatever that was. All you knew, was that the emptiness you continuously felt at him not wearing the ring you gave him, the fact that you would see him online on the messenger app yet he never messaged you, or him never making the effort to reach back out in response to your texts and voicemails, even when he did the very few times, it was always given with the same excuse…
‘Football practice babe. I’m too busy.’
You knew…
Yet, upon hearing Heeseung pointing out the absence of your ring, you couldn’t help but feel like crying as you had forgotten about it…in fact, little did he know, you accepting Mel’s invitation to come out and accompany Vicky was all due to get your mind off of the hurt you were feeling when you braved your decision to end things with Samuel and bidding that ring a final farewell before you tossed it away.
“Where is it?....” he whispers as he looks into your eyes, his face coming in closer as your noses nearly touch. His eyelids grew even heavier, giving him a lustful and yet tiring look, yet the parting of his lips as he started to breathe a little heavier gave off the large inclination of his desire.
You couldn’t answer. You just stared back as you started to feel the tears begin to stream down, your mouth quivered open.
Leaning in once more as he shifts his gaze over to your lips, he whispers…
“Where…?”
Before he places a kiss on your lips. Then another…then another. Riddled with the pain of truth and honesty of your broken heart, and with Ethan revealing his true feelings in the manner that he was, you started to sob quietly as he continued to kiss you.
Feeling your hands slightly pushing his chest, trying to get some distance as you were deeply confused, hurt, and in complete conflict with your emotions, he leans into you and grabs your waist.
“W-wait…Ethan…” you gasped out, breaking the kiss as the tears continued to stream down.
He didn’t stop.
You push, he pulls you in deeper. You peel back, he leans in and kisses harder. You shift, he steadies. You twist, he grabs. He grips. He digs his fingers into your skin as he brings you in to his chest, wrapping his arm around your lower back, while the other wraps around the back of your head, cradling you as he feeds his fingers through your hair, the tips rubbing on the back of your scalp as he pushes you in deeper into the kiss.
Despite you gasping for air mid breath, Ethan became more tenacious as he continued to kiss you. It almost felt as if he was hungry, no, starving. The moment his lips touched yours, it was as if he was qunenching a thirst as he wouldn’t let you go. He wouldn’t let you move. He wouldn’t let you rest. He wouldn’t let you…
‘Breathe…I…can’t….breathe…’
With your body practically merging in with his, he practically lifts you from the ground as he shifts your bodies over to the side, where his bed was. You begin to panic and moved your hands in between his chest and his forearms as you moved your face around trying to break free as you feel him push you down on your back against the mattress. It was gentle, yet forceful as the moment he felt you struggle, he applied a harsher grip. Not once, did he break his lips from yours.
“No…Ethan…please….” You issued out each time you moved your face side to side, trying to breathe as you gasped out your words.
He remained silent, as he continued to kiss you tenderly. Slowly…yet surely, you started to feel the heat of his passion as you felt yourself losing, not only to his physical strength, but his vigor as his hands roamed all over your body. The way they massaged and stroked your sides, gently squeezed your breasts, and grazed along your thighs, it all felt too good that you couldn’t help but cave in.
“E-Ethan…” you softly whispered.
In between his kisses, he gently gasps out.
“Mmm…wrong name baby…”
“W-what…?”
“Say…. ‘Heeseung’.”

Rumour has it you have got a Potc plot bunny in the works?
Oh dear, is it going to breach discord containment? 😂
But yeah I do! And it’s been haunting my mind every day lmao - I’m so quietly obsessed with the idea and getting my grubby hands all over the characters.
Context for non-discord people:
I wanna write a female!Jack story.
——————— (Taken from discord)
Jacqueline Teague was born in the middle of a typhoon aboard the Misty Lady, and she knew the rocking of a ship in the wild sea long before the steady feel of land under her feet - and it showed.
(Miles and miles away, deep in the swamps of Cuba, surrounded by trinkets and humid air and the bitter tang of memories, a bound goddess tilted her head back and hummed, thoughtful and amused and satiated.)
Little Jack was as wild as the waves and free as a bird, and even from a young age Edward looked at his daughter and knew she was going to shake the world.
And she did. Oh, she did.
But the world was a cruel place and it left its mark on Jack just as deeply as she did it.
——————
Other elements include:
Jack not acknowledging that she’s the daughter of Edward fucking Teague for the longest time, so her lineage is only really known by the older generation of pirates, and when it comes out that she basically the equivalent of pirate royalty Will and Elizabeth and Barbossa and the rest are blown away
We'll explore Jack’s relationship with Tia Dalma, how long they've known each other, and heavily imply that Jack is 'god-touched' because Calypso likes her
So much symbolism with Jack's hair. All the symbolism.
Jack and the Pearl and the connection there
And exploring these core relationships and how they shaped Jack:
Salazar and the whole significance of him giving Jack her new name, and so feeling some kind of inherent claim on Jack because there is power in that - and there being an undeniable connection between them that was forged on the day she tricked and killed him
Barbossa and the betrayal and all the bitterness between them, and him slowly realising that while the Pearl was still the fastest, deadliest vessel on the water; she would always be faster, deadlier with Jack’s hands on her wheel. Seeing Jack again after ten years is the closest he comes to feeling anything since they parted - since he parted them, turning on his young, bright, brilliant captain. And Barbossa hating that he itches every time she calls him 'Barbossa' instead of 'Hector'
Beckett and his fucked up possessiveness over Jack, because he met her when she was young and brilliant and just making a name for herself and she was so wild, so different from any woman he'd ever met, and the impression stuck. In another world, they might have even loved each other, but he wanted the one thing Jack refused to surrender - her freedom
Davy Jones knowing the second they pull this sodden, grief and rage-filled girl from the water that she’s marked, and he can practically taste Calypso’s hands on her sun-tanned skin; and while a part of him snarls at it another part of him wants to take something else from his old lover, even if it’s a Favoured slip of a girl. He makes the deal thinking he’ll get the best damn helmsman on the sea at the end of it - even though it feels like the very winds are laughing at him for thinking he might be the one to chain another wilful woman from her nature
Elizabeth still being in love with the idea of Jack, because here is a woman that spits in the face of everything society tries to tell them to be - and a part of her wants with a soul-deep ache
And Will also being somewhat entranced by Jack, just like he is in canon, because there's something undeniably other about her and as someone who longs for adventure, he can't help but want to press closer.
I've got so many fucking ideas for this - the discord chat is full of little snippets and ramblings 🤣🤣

please tell me more abt Yancy in mark TV
Okay so my thoughts on Yancy in all the Markiplier TV stuff is really a mash up if a lot of different headcanons I've collected from different places and then some.
So like, big fan of the headcanon that Yancy is one of Mark and Celine's kids, and he ended up in prison cause he got blamed for the events of wkm. I know it's not perfectly supported by the canon or anything but it's fun, so, y’know, who cares. I can do whatever I want lol. And then I don't know how common this headcanon actually is bc I picked it up from like one specific fic, but Yancy as the security guard for Wilford's club in Wilford Motherloving Warfstache.
So like, Yancy grows up in Markiplier Manor for most of his life, Celine gets custody during the divorce, the events of wkm happen (maybe Yancy is the one who told Celine about the poker night, having heard about it from William, and that's why Celine shows up in the middle of wkm?) So then when Celine goes off and never comes back he goes out looking for her, police show up while he's there, and between intense unethical police interrogations and the fucked up house immensely fucking with his head, he ends up convinced he did do the crime and pleads guilty, landing him in Happy Trails eventually. Canon ensues, Yancy decides he's gonna get out on parole after God knows how long he's been in there. At some point he meets Wilford, neither of them recognize eachother really, but there is like, some subconscious shit working definitely. Wilford's like, 'hey do you want to work at my club? I'll walk you right out of this fucking prison' and Yancy is like 'nah man, I'm gonna keep on track to make parole, do this the right way, but if the job offer is still open in a few months 👀' and Wilford's like 'okay, sick' and so when Yancy gets out a few month's later, there's Wilford inexplicably, ready to pick him up. And so he goes to work as security at the club, and things are actually pretty chill most of the time, so Yancy's got a lot of free time to do his own thing, and he's got no fucking clue where Wil's money comes from but he gets payed well, so he's enjoying the job, even if maybe he'd rather be performing. He does some community theater stuff here and there, occasionally performs in the club, often ends up ranting about his narrative ideas to Wil after hours. And eventually Wil is like 'hey, you know I own a TV network right? I could give you a show.' And Yancy absolutely fucking takes that opportunity. Which is how he ends up at Markiplier TV.
I feel like his show(s) would be this weird tonal mess where it's like a Disney Channel musical sitcom, there's songs and comedy and it's all very much giving young teen drama with constant bits and inconsistent lore, but then the storylines all deal with very serious and realistic topics. There's fucked up families, and deep dives into the horrors of the American prison system, and death, and grief, all portrayed very realistically and with all the complexity they deserve. But also all of the character's act like disney sitcom characters the second they're not handling the serious stuff, and there's always at least one musical number per episode. It's actually probably really cool if you're into weird shit like that (as I absolutely would be), the video essays discussing it are probably insane. But it maybe doesn't speak to the average audience lmao. Yancy doesn't really realize and doesn't care. It's reaching the audiences it needs to.
Anyways I think him and Bim get along the vast majority of the time, they've got a mutual love of theater and a mutual hatred of Ed, cause I mean, look at Ed's lore and then look at Yancy. Yeah Yancy fucking hates Ed and his whole deadbeat dad thing. Luckily fights around the office are so common here that it's pretty easy for Yancy to get away with punching Ed in the face a little bit any time he says some asshole shit. Also maybe everyone turns a little bit of a blind eye to it. So really he feels right at home.
I think Google freaks him out from the get-go, and he's a little more interested in trying to get some info on the weird android shit from Bing at first, but quickly finds out that Bing can be like twice as uncanny as Google, and so he just kind of ends of steering clear of both after not too long in the office. I think they grow on him eventually but it takes some warming up lol
I think he and The Host actually get along. Like, maybe he freaked Yancy out a little bit at first, and then he started to realize the two of them had a lot in common in terms of their opinions and beliefs, and instantly he started getting all buddy buddy with the guy, and then it was the Host's turn to be a little freaked out, cause he's not exactly used to people being so enthusiasticlly friendly towards him. So they become friends. Yancy's always there to make sure he gets included in work get togethers and such since some of the other guys find him intimidating.
Dr. Iplier finds him a little exasperating seeing ad he is probably constantly getting hurt and also constantly leading to other injuries around the office (mostly Ed's, let's be honest), but, y’know, his enthusiasm and friendliness around the office probably win him over eventually, and his kindness to the Host probably helps.
The Jims and Yancy get along great, in fact Yancy is probably the only person around the office who actively gets along with them besides Wilford.
Wilford is always very supportive of Yancy, and Yancy still picks up shifts at the club a few times a week. I think maybe he's the only one who's met Abe out of everyone else at the office bc of his job. Abe knows who Yancy is and has tried dropping hints to Wil a few times, but they are not getting picked up. So it just kind of goes unspoken.
Dark and Yancy absolutely have the strangest dynamic. Dark definitely knows who Yancy is. Yancy does not know who Dark is, but I think he recognizes bits of his mother in Dark's personality and actions, and it freaks him out. Some one points put once that Dark and Yancy look alike and that they've got matching moles under their eyes and Dark leaves without saying anything, visibly upset, and Yancy starts wearing a bandaid over that cheek every day after. No one brings up that shit again. Dark basically let's Yancy get away with anything around the office, seemingly from a sense of guilt. Funds any ideas he has, let's him get away with bending rules, or beating the shit out of Ed, or whatever. But then Yancy does something minor, or something that puts himself in danger, and Dark starts lecturing, and Yancy gets real pissed off. The office stays tense for several days after every time. I think those are just about the only times at which Wil starts to recognize him. He usually doesn't sit on the thought for very long, as he's prone to do. But maybe he treats Yancy to a little something the next day any time one of those arguments goes down. It helps a bit, for both of them.
I don't think he knows the details of what went down in the manor, or that he's seen Mark since, or that he knows about Dark and Mark's whole fucking thing, and I hate to think about how incredibly badly it would go if he did find out.
#atlas speaks#this one is long lmao#big fan of this guy's whole thing#love being like 'i hate to think about how badly...' as if i didn’t make up the scenario in which that traumatizing shit would happen💀

Moash/Elhokar ♡
I love these two idiots no matter how unlovable they try to make themselves!!
I find them compelling because they are so different and yet they are so similar. Moash is from a low nahn darkeyes background and worked as a caravaneer. He had dreams of earning his own Shardblade, and his goal in life is to get revenge on the king for the death of his grandparents (and as far as I know they were his only living family). Elhokar, on the other hand, couldn't have come from a different background. His Shardblade was given to him. He was raised to become the highest ranking lighteyes - a king. And yet his only dream is of competence.
Both of them are gullible. Moash bought into the myth that he could earn a Shardblade through fighting and that dream almost got him killed. Elhokar keeps trusting the wrong people and getting himself into shitty situations that end up killing other people.
Both of them lie to themselves and others. Elhokar lies so hard about the strap I'm pretty sure he actually believed it for a little while. Moash's vendetta suddenly becomes "No actually I want Dalinar to be in charge, he'd be a better king" once he meets Graves, and that's what it always was! It was never about vengeance (cut to Moash telling Kaladin his dream was for vengeance lol).
Both of them are desperate in the pursuit of their Alethi values. I see Moash as the epitome of the Alethi masculine ideal - win at all costs, without understanding how empty that promise is, how it will never meet a human's needs. I have headcanons about his time as a caravaneer and his rejection of the family's silversmithing business. But canon wise, he's always been about winning - his first dream in canon was to win a Shardblade through combat. He couldn't let himself connect to Bridge Four because they were too earnest. It's unmanly to need each other! He wanted so much for Kaladin to pursue domination but Kaladin just wanted to survive, and that wasn't enough for Moash. He latched onto Graves because he gave him an honourable sounding excuse to defeat his enemy. Moash believed Graves that Dalinar would be a good king. Why? Because he meets that Alethi masculine ideal that Moash has bought into hook line and sinker. Then he kills Elhokar, basically asks Kaladin "Aren't you proud of me?" and then gets so confused when the promise of that Alethi ideal never gives the payout of meeting his actual human needs for connection and belonging. But it's too late.
Elhokar, meanwhile, is the opposite of the Alethi masculine ideal - he's not a capable leader, we never see him fighting, he needs to be saved repeatedly. He causes problems on purpose. He is a loser. He's not just bad at being a king, he's bad at being an Alethi man. He's had every advantage and every reason to win and he just can't. But there's no alternative that's acceptable in the shadow of his dead father, nor in the hungry glares of the other Highprinces. He's trapped in a position he cannot succeed in, and he never looks inside to accept another way out - abdication, joining the ardentia, whatever else. Out of desperation to maintain an illusion of being a good man, he is stubborn and wilful and it costs lives.
Now put these two together and what do you get? The most toxicly masculine D/s relationship (if you can keep Moash from killing Elhokar lmao). They are both trapped by the Alethi masculine ideal but they will never, ever figure it out even if you lock them in a room together.
That's why they are a compelling ship to me!

I REQUEST HEADCANNONS FOR TINY WORKERS!!! please…
Also some drawing prompts for Tiny Workers if you don’t mind 👉👈
/nf
man i had like 3 hcs all written out and some drawing prompts too and my internet completely crashed. ripppp
i guess i'll start again :v
my all time favorite bits in tiny workers (that i can remember) are a. tommy being stuck in tipsy wil's pocket while he and schlatt walk around the park aimlessly, and b. the workers just launching water balloons at protestors 😭 SO either one of those, or or or equally as good: your favorite bit. because i am very curious what other people think of this au ,,,,
NOW headcannons
tiny workers headcannons ✨
on their uniforms, they have their name stitched into the bottom of the cloth, but they realized it doesn't really work all that well, so they upgraded to the typical worker nametag, which leads to all of the workers crossing out their name and adding something different, or like adding things. tommy's added "innit" to the bottom, q put "big" in front of his and crossed off "uackity" ykyk all the fun stuff
and on the topic of uniforms, they also have stitched other stuff into it. tommy's added like a l'manburg flag after the dnd era thingy, tubbo's added a bee and a nuke, just stuff that kinda both relates to their lore reenactment or just them as a person ,,,,
one time techno came over with wilbur and tech just steals tommy from will (which COULD strike up some tw!tnt content but that's a different story) and they make it their day's goal to just break every single rule. except no smoking (based off of a thing me and my uncle do ever fall)
i've been trying very hard to think of attractions because i realized how much i need to do for 20k acres 😭 anyway i went to a theme park the other day and got to have some inspo. SO have some. one, imagine like. mascots. definitely would make the park more kid-oriented AND imagine just different characters from size media. like arrietty or some guy from the honey i shunk series
another one from hershey: i saw a few people with giant ass reversable octopuses and saw some girl sitting inside of it using it as a chair and LIKE imagine that but as a hand. u can win a giant hand at some arcade game 👀👀
imagine like a rollercoaster or waterslide that had a 3d effect or just had screens on the side that projected like a human coming after you, or some kind of bug/animal/etc
i mentioned a lego thing at one point and i know a lot of lego stores have a build-your-own lego, and imagine wil making one just to resemble tommy claiming that the figurine'll replace the kid JVJSDV
imagine another dnd game (much shorter) with the (entire) scu 👀 this time with a few strangers. ORRRRR i could make grizzly & bizly canon. maybe both tiny workers.
charlie'll be introduced then probably. he'll be a stranger prior to the campaign and after that charlie becomes a tiny bit of a regular.
i think i'm also gonna make jaiden canon as a human worker
imagine a restaurant that's made to look like a human counter. like there's some kind of optical illusion on the floor that makes you look really high up 👏👏👏
i went to a planetarium yesterday and lemme tell u the g/t in me went BRRRR. it opened with like an eye over me looking around and at one point they made it look like you were getting closer to a telescope, which also looked like being trapped under a cup. SO imagine THAT in the park. just some kind of theater with a giant screen over you, maybe a first-person mini-movie about being a borrower ✨
I HOPE THESE SUFFICE FOR NOW !! i also have 2 art-ish things in the works hopefully soon. one of them is being a bitch cause there is so much for it sfjfsdd

Okay here’s the post I promised a while back about how Solas fits into my canon state!
First off disclaimer that I know there are kinda two poles of how people tend to feel about Solas - either loving him as a romance option or hating him. I am at neither of those. I think he’s a really complex character that I really love but in no way is his relationship with my inquisitor romantic (she’s a lesbian). Just putting that out here in case anyone misunderstands the vibe of this post.
Okay that put aside, let’s begin. Like I mentioned on my Introduction to Herah post, Herah values her friends and loved ones above anything else and she will do almost anything to protect them, even if that means going to extreme lengths. Her loyalty is her downfall as it were. So obviously that means she wants to redeem Solas, if we’re going by canon.
However, I diverge pretty far from canon from mid-DAI as Solas reveals of his own free will his true identity to significant other Dorian and best friend Herah. I believe that his character is open to interpretation in a way that, if he can actually be convinced that there are things in this world that he can’t or doesn’t want to lose, he will go back on his plans. Just look at how he talks to an Inquisitor who has fostered a good relationship with him at the end of Trespasser. He wants to be convinced otherwise.
I think I’m just interested in exploring what would happen if he came to the realisation on his own that he could no longer go through with his plans and having both a best friend and a lover at stake, particularly if there are two different people who are disproving his world view. The thing with Trespasser is that he views the Inquisitor as an exception, perhaps at least partially as a result of the anchor. When two pieces of evidence lie in front of you, however, it’s a bit harder to ignore or dismiss your doubts.
To explore this idea further, I wrote this fic on how he tells Dorian his true identity. I will probably at some point write something on how he breaks this news to Herah, narrating her reaction.
Skip to later on and you might be asking how the premise of Trespasser and DA4 would even work if all of this is the case and that’s a pretty fair question. Even without everything I’ve just said, I am a firm believer that DA4 would be done best if Solas is a red herring and the real danger is the Evanuris.
So I wrote a Trespasser fic on this diversion from canon wherein Solas returns just as any other companion does. This one’s a bit longer so I’ll just provide a quick summary in case anyone’s interested but doesn’t have the time to read it:
In the years between the defeat of Corypheus and the start of Trespasser, Solas and Dorian went to Tevinter to enact change. They were invited back for the Exalted Council.
After the discovery of the gaatlok, Solas begins to hear the Eluvian and he and Dorian find it, informing Herah. An extra bit of relevant information is that Solas has still been gathering Eluvians, using them as a means of transporting freed slaves from Tevinter without risking them being caught.
Given the nature of the mission, Herah takes along Solas, Dorian, and the Iron Bull through the Eluvians. As they realise where they're being led, Solas begins to put the pieces together and work out what's going on.
Bull betrays the Inquisitor, returning his loyalty to the Qun. (Important side knowledge: Herah in this version of my canon sacrificed the Chargers in order to save lives by stopping the Red Lyrium from going any further. I'll probably talk about this more later but this isn't the post for that.)
At the end, they are confronted by Elgar'nan who was able to slip through the Breach in the Veil just as demons can. He reveals that he wants to bring back all of the Evanuris, bring back Ancient Arlathan, and get revenge on Solas.
So the threat for DA4 then becomes the Evanuris as led by Elgar'nan, which I like to think parallels the ending of Trespasser well and hopefully will be compatible with the scope of DA4 (although who knows on that front). Solas agrees to join back with Herah to fight against this threat, considering it of his own creation. The Inquisition is preserved in order to divert Elgar'nan's attention elsewhere while Solas and Dorian remain undercover in Tevinter, anticipating that that's the most likely place for Elgar'nan to make his first move.
Herah's friendship with Solas is built on their combined loyalty to one another even when they recognise their disagreements. He plays an important part in Herah's journey throughout, and that's also the reason she sends him away at the end of DAI even though she really doesn't want to because her gut is telling her she needs the space even though she remains loyal to him throughout those two years apart. Part of this is also about protecting Sera, and maintaining the tricky balance of having a girlfriend who's wary of magic, being a mage herself, and having two best friends who are mages, one of whom being one of the most powerful beings in Thedas.
Again, I will at some point make a post about the dynamic between these four (who as a result end up spending a lot of time together) and how they all learn to respect and get along better even if only for Herah's sake.
I feel like I've rambled a lot here, but I think I've said all that needs to be said on this. If you've gotten this far, I hope you enjoyed the read as much as I've enjoyed tinkering with canon over the past few years!

Hey, Captain...
Hey, Captain…
Characters: Levi x Hange, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Sasha
Word Count: 577 words
Canon universe, during the meeting with Shadis (just before the battle to retake Wall Maria). A response to the Great Shipping War. (Part 1 of 2)
With a scrape of his chair, Commandant Keith Shadis, the former Commander of the Scouts, stood and walked from his office. His visitors remained seated around the polished, mahogany table. Opposite where the Commandant had been sitting, Eren wiped at his forehead with his palm.
“Are you okay Eren?” Mikasa turned in her chair. “That was a lot for anyone to process…”
“There’s still one question which Shadis didn’t answer…” Through half-closed lids, Eren glared at the individuals surrounding him.
“Eren, what is it…?”
At this, Eren flung out a finger towards Levi’s astonished face.
“Hey Captain, are you and Hange-san really just friends or is there something more going on?!”
Sasha, for the first time since the meeting had begun, peeled herself away from the wall.
“Yeah, tell us!”
A look of sheer terror passed between Levi and Hange.
“We’re just friends,” Levi replied shortly.
“I’m not only speaking for myself when I say you guys have old married couple chemistry,” Jean explained, eyebrows raised. “The way you insist on acting like our parents is kind of creepy.”
“And your poop jokes,” Eren chimed in.
“Four Eyes,” Sasha mimicked in a stern voice, causing a ripple to pass through the 104th recruits. “You two don’t share nicknames and in-jokes with anyone else!”
“Then surely we’re more like siblings.” Hange’s eyes were narrowed. “Look at the way that you and Connie behave. We’re really no different.”
“Miche told me something…” Eren grinned at Armin, who seemed to shake his head in silent horror as his friend ploughed on regardless. “He saw you grab Hange by the hair and pull her round to face you. Said he could hardly swing an axe, never mind a knife, to cut the sexual tension.”
“We don’t have time for shitty, schoolyard gossip,” Levi snarled. “And if you all must know, Erwin and I have a much closer bond than me and this Four Eyed annoyance.”
“Um…” Sasha wrinkled her nose. “Would Commander Erwin agree?”
“I thought Commander Erwin only had eyes for Eren’s basement.” Jean laughed to himself as he cracked his knuckles beneath the table.
“Hange, you said that Erwin had forsaken any hope for future plans, romantic or otherwise.” Armin had raised an acclamatory finger as he spoke. “You showed me the letter he wrote to Marie many years ago but never sent. He had a choice back then, and he chose to put everything, his whole being, into leading the scouts rather than pursuing any kind of relationship.”
Levi’s head snapped around to Hange, who managed an embarrassed smile.
“Look, you brats. Erwin and I have a bond that none of you could understand!” Levi snarled. “I am bound to follow him into battle and protect him from harm.”
“Didn’t he lose an arm during that last battle?” Mikasa stared blandly up at the ceiling.
“Well, fuck me, I’m not superhuman, am I?” Levi exploded. In reply, Armin uttered a small, dissatisfied sound.
“Well, actually-”
“Enough of this!” Hange insisted, waving both hands wildly. “We are just friends. Please stop trying to force something romantic and ruin a relationship which is purely platonic.”
“Exactly.” Levi pushed back his own chair and stood, much to the clamour of the younger recruits. He closed his eyes and heaved a sigh.
“Come on, Four Eyes. The bath’s getting cold.”
As the two senior officers marched off in the direction of the barracks’ baths, their young wards gazed after them, open-mouthed.

So, I'm hardly opposed to Eruri shippers if that's what they like. I don't even mind if people aren't interested in Levihan but I've seen so many comments where people are in utter disbelief that Levi and Hange have any sort of connection, like dude... did we read/watch the same thing? Are you blind? That's the only thing that annoys me - wilful ignorance of the source material. Just keep an open mind, people. They aren't canon but there's enough evidence for a healthy debate. I've said my piece.

Trampled Dandelions Random Facts
@hopalongfairywren enjoy some interesting fun facts!
most of these are just my regular dsmp hcs, but some of them are TD specific
(this is about the characters)
~~~~~~~~~~~
-sam once said to tubbo “I can’t believe that you’re the only cis member of your family!” and then tubbo just had to sit there awkwardly and say “Um...about that-”
-c!beeduo actually had a wedding in this au. it happened sometime like maybe a week after c!wilbur came back
-after getting killed in prison, sam didn’t just feel sympathy for tommy, he felt empathy for him
-tommy, tubbo, wilbur, and fundy are widely known on the server as the L’man Fam.
-tubbo actually really likes singing and playing the guitar and piano (he’s also pretty good at it), but it’s one of those situations where he feels insecure about it. tommy, ranboo, quackity, wilbur, and michael enjoy it though :]
-quackity is a therapist. and nonbinary.
-quackity has also been clingyduo’s therapist since the aftermath of nov. 16th
-speaking of the 16th, that actually goes quite a bit differently in TD! basically, to put it one way, instead of completely blowing up l’manberg (although there was still damage cause wil didn’t like. insulate the walls well enough), wilbur made the decision to instead use the tnt to...blow himself up. ho16 style. phil still stabs him, and that’s actually what makes wil step off the pressure plate, and causes the explosion
-wilbur becomes a zombie piglin after he’s revived
-one of the biggest what ifs for this au is like. what if fundy became president of new l’manberg and niki became vp (in-universe explanation is because the server members are actually smart enough to not make a 16 year old a president. like, after the 16th they could’ve just. Picked An Actual Adult to do it)
-because phil didn’t view tommy and tubbo as his kids, responsibility of the kids was passed onto fundy cause he was closest adult family member those two had
-fundy signed those two up for therapy immediately post-16th
-so, fun fact! while dream would very reluctantly tell people they could visit tommy (stuff along the lines of what’s in canon like “Oh, Tommy doesn’t want visitors right now, but you can go if you want to”), quackity is the only person that he’d outright say wasn’t allowed to visit tommy.
hmmm...surely it can’t be because they’re tommy’s therapist
...right?
-tubbo really got into f**king around with redstone and science during the exile arc of this au (definitely not because he was struggling through some serious mental health issues and also dealing with the fact his brother was exiled and, you know, had supposedly jumped to his death, and he was desperately trying to cope in any way he could...nope, definitely not that)
-tubbo and fundy were the ones to discover logstedshire after tommy left. while fundy freaked out, tubbo just stood there, staring at the pillar in disbelief, while he just quietly whispered, mostly to himself, “Surely not.”
-benchtrio were vibing together in the mansion after tommy got out of prison
-quackity in this au looks great in some simple gothic makeup. also in those sparkly kinds of makeup too. and red and gold. y’know what, i’m sure they could look fabulous in anything-
-quackity and eret have both, at different times in this au, assisted ranboo with things like makeup and style. ranboo appreciates it. they still help out whenever ranboo needs it
-ranboo was one of the few people besides quackity and fundy who checked in on tubbo regularly during the exile arc of this au. especially after tommy “died”/went missing
that’s all for now! i think y’all can tell which arc i’m obsessing over in this au-

Ok some titan characters. Just a warning the story is still in the works so it's not all thought out yet.
I highly suggest looking at this so you know what the hell I'm talking about. It won't hurt to look at my other titan rant but not necessary for this. Also Im trying to write as if it's in universe, while also giving context and writing stuff down do y'all know and I remember). If it isn't obvious the living titan is King, but ya know, if you were gods son you'd Wana keep it a secret too don't lie to me.
Names are removed for privacy reasons.
Vlint (v- el- t) or vil ⤵️ (canonically the boiling isles) he is [the living titans] parent, was friends Wil Cobbs and "very close" with Ti (however it's unknown if they were together or not). He is a very likely hybrid, as he definitely is a moon titan, however his face resembles that of a star titan. (He was friends with Ire)
Ire
Ti (t-ie)⤵️ (canonically known as titan trapper Island titan) is the parent of Xxaber], is a fresh water sun titan, and is likely a secondary parent to [The living titan].
Xsaber
Ilv (ill-l-v)(spelled i L v)⤵️ A salt water sun titan, he has no kin and no known partners. He was a second in command to To, in the allied titan clans.
And Malv (Mal-v) ⤵️ A younger adult moon titan, who died by being slayn. No known descents remain of him. He was a general of a moon titan army. He was likely a cousin to [the living titan].
