Tragedies. . . 🩹 König x M!Reader

word count: 1.4k

CW: talk of death, alcohol mentioned, reader is 20, then 21. (i don’t do angst much, but this is more of a “this happened to me” thing, so im more of ranting, so please let me know how i did with this🙏🏻 LOVE YOU GUYS! tysm for all the love on my last post!)

summary: reader lost his mother at the young age of 17. grief is hard to overcome, but when you have someone to be there for you when you need it, i guess it isn’t so bad.

|grief| |grēf|

Noun

-deep sorrow, especially that caused by someone’s death.

some days seemed easier than others. well when you lose a mother at 17, the years seem to go so fast but days, seem endless. for (y/n), nothing seems meaningful. after losing his mother just 21 days after he turned 17, he hasn’t had a meaning to life. he barely scrapped by in school until he graduated. he grew up telling his mom that he was worried she was not gonna be there for his graduation. she used to reassure him that she would, she wouldn’t miss it for the world. so when she passed, he found every reason to graduate just for her. after graduating, he didn’t know what to do with his life, joining the military was the only option left, it has kept him sane and busy.

könig had not really talked to him other than the interview for the position in kortac, they need another man since the last one had been KIA. könig read (y/n)’s file, seeing the man’s grades questioning if this was a good idea, until he actually met the guy, who turned out to be a very good fit for kortac, very stoic, and kept to himself, but seemed nice. (y/n) ended up getting into kortac, since they needed a sniper. (y/n) had been excited to be the new sniper, since he could sit still, and his stats showed he was capable.

after weeks of training, he was ready for the next mission. he was assigned this position with könig. all (y/n) had to do was kill anybody könig didn’t see while he was searching the building for information. while being helicoptered to their destination, (y/n) had picked up the habit of listening to “lose yourself” by eminem before anything he had to do to hype himself up, to get in the mindset, just like his mom did. könig watches (y/n) with a close eye as he bobbed his head ever so slightly listening to the song. könig found it strange, but i guess everyone has their quirks.

they get to their destination and (y/n) sets up his spot while könig goes down to the building there the information is. (y/n) radios in first on the comms; “can ya hear me sir?” he says looking through his scope, finding könig easily, then switching to different windows to watch the enemies. “ja loud and clear Soldat” he says quietly into his comms his accent apparent over the comms. (y/n) nods, “good thing sir.” (y/n) adjusts himself slightly to get comfortable, listening to the silence was a little awkward. (y/n) watches as one enemy goes down as könig takes him down easily with a knife to the guys throat. “the room to your right sir, two enemies.” (y/n) says into the comms. könig sneaks into the room and takes down one solider as (y/n) shoots the other dead center. “good shot soldat” könig says into the comms. “thank you sir.” (y/n) says back. “i know this isn’t time for small talk, but tell me more about you sir” (y/n) says, trying to cure the awkwardness. “i’ll tell you more about me later soldat, pay attention” könig responds. ‘well, there goes small talk’ (y/n) thinks to himself.

they finish up the mission, a successful mission. (y/n) meets up with könig while waiting for their helicopter. “good job sir.” he says looking up at könig. könig looks down at reader, and nods, “good job out their soldat, i’m glad to have you on my team, ja?” könig says, smiling somewhat under his mask. (y/n) looks away, fidgeting with his hands slightly while waiting for the helicopter.

“what happened to you soldat? if you don’t mind me asking. what’s with ‘lose yourself’?” könig asked, not looking away from (y/n). (y/n)’s shoulders tense slightly from the question. to avoid konig’s gaze, (y/n) doesn’t stop looking at the ground, thinking about how he should answer this question, he isn’t ready to tell könig just yet. “oh uhm, nothing really. my mom would play that song for me on the way to football games i played when i was young. she would do the same when she was in softball. more of a traditional thing between me and her i guess” he answered half honestly and half lying. könig keeps looking at (y/n) and nods, looking up to the helicopter that is approaching, “oh ok. it’s good to have a good bond with your mother. that’s a cool tradition.” he says, knowing something about that answer isn’t right, he can tell, but he won’t pressure the male. (y/n) blinks back any tears, picking at his gloves, out of anxiety. time to go back to base.

after a year of being at kortac, (y/n) starts to open up more. well, a little too much due to the alcohol, now that it’s his birthday, he wanted to spend that, at the bar. (y/n) and könig had become close friends, sharing small things from childhood. now that (y/n) was under the influence of alcohol, he didn’t care sharing what happened to his mom. “könig, remember when you wanted to know more about me?” (y/n) slurs, looking up at könig with a pink flushed face. könig, having only a drink, knowing he had to the two back to base, he looks down at the male. “ja i do. are you ok with sharing?” he asked, austrian accent apparent. (y/n) nods, looking at his glass of jack daniels, thinking for a minute. “yea ‘s fine” he slurs, trying to think of how to word it. “i’ll just get straight to it, my mom died when i was 17. 21 days after, to be exact. i was devastated. i was just starting junior year of highschool,” (y/n) stops, blinking back tears. “i always had a fear when i was little, that my own mother wouldn’t be alive during my graduation, since she was 30 years older then me, that would make her 49 when i graduated. she always told me, ‘i’ll be there, i wouldn’t miss it for the world’. you can guess how i reacted when i found out she had died, a year before i graduated. my worst fear and nightmare had come true.”

(y/n) slurs slightly, taking a drink out of his glass. he looks down at it, only to push it away and put his head down into his arms. “why did she have to leave me könig? i don’t get it. please take the drink away. i don’t want to drink when im sad.” he says desperately. he knows what will happen if he gets into the habit of drinking while sad. könig calls the bartender over to take (y/n) glass, “i don’t know kind, it wasn’t fair for you, you were only a kid” he says softly, lifting (y/n)’s head slightly to look at him. “it will be ok, you’ve got us now. your mutter would be proud.” he says smiling under his mask, his eyes crinkling slightly as he does so. (y/n) looks up at him, and smiles, and leans against könig, face a light shade of pink, “thanks könig..” (y/n) slurs, “i’m sorry” he says quietly. könig looks down at the male, head tilting slightly, “what for kind? you have nothing to apologize for” he says to the male. (y/n) wipes his eyes gently to wipe away any stray tears, “for just, dumping all of that onto you, you shouldn’t have to deal with my trauma, i’m sorry” (y/n) says, voice wavering slightly. könig puts his arm around (y/n) shoulders and brings him closer, putting the male’s head to his chest, “i’m glad you told me schatz, i’m glad to get to know you better, i’m not mad. it’s good to get things off your chest, thank you for trusting me with that information, i’ll always be here if you need a shoulder to cry on schatz, always.” he says, his thumb running circles in the males back, soothing him. (y/n) hums and puts his arms around könig, just enjoying the embrace.

maybe grief isn’t so bad when you have someone there to cry on when you need it.

Infiltration part 5

Keegan x F!reader

I can’t lie this isn’t even enemies to lovers anymore. I don’t know what this is lmfao, just enjoy the ride I guess. Thank you to @taurus-ted for being my hype man 4eva

Warnings - 18+, minors DNI, all the smut, p in v, spit play, praise kink, voyuerism, masturbation, breath play, dom/sub theme, sub keegan. The reader is not a good person in this

‘Hope it was worth it’ Claude huffed as he sat at your desk, disgust evident in his features. Scowling at him you tapped at your keyboard ‘it was actually’ you hummed. Slowly you turned your laptop to face him, an audio programme already running. Turning up the speaker muffled voices could be heard. Realisation spread over Claude’s face at what you’d managed to pull off.

You’d bugged the Ghosts.

‘Still think my little indulgence wasn’t worth it?’ You smirked as you listened in on their conversation.

‘You fucked her didn’t you?!’ It was Merrick, clearly not impressed by Keegan’s actions. ‘I can fuckin smell her on you. Fuck were you thinking?!’ He was furious, which only turned your smirk into a smile. ‘Did you even get any names?’

Claude shot a glance towards you, a flash of disbelief. ‘Relax Claude I didn’t say shit.’ You motioned for him to continue listening.

‘Yeah, she gave me names. All of em. Said she’d give me more when I go back.’

‘When you go back?! Keegan. She’s got you round her fucking finger. Goddamn it. How do we even know these are real?’

That’s when you shot your own look over to Claude, who relaxed at the implied betrayal. Flexing your brows you smiled, ‘that’ll teach you for underestimating me. Need to lure them in’ you said as you mimed reeling in a fish.

Pulling up a satellite image of the surrounding area you zoned in on the old mill. ‘We know this is where they’re hiding. For all Keegan knows, I’m upholding my end of the bargain and keeping a truce. But …’ you chewed on your lip. ‘I want them. I want Elias. He’s the final piece of the puzzle that’s stopping us from taking control. Wait for Keegan to come here, take them then.’

Claude rose from the chair, ‘I’ll get my team on it. We’ll get em.’

———

Keegan entered your office once more, standing to attention in front of your desk. Floorboards creaking under his weight. Biting your thumb you smiled up at the Sargent before you. ‘You get more handsome every time I see you’ you cooed softly. He huffed as he strained against the bonds which encased his wrists, ‘this really necessary?’

Closing the gap between you, you placed both your hands on his chest, breathing in his scent. ‘For what I have in store? Absolutely.’ Pressing your lips ever so gently on his you sucked his bottom lip between your teeth. Nipping it gently. Narrowing his eyes at you a groan rumbled within his chest.

‘Nox’ he warned ‘we can’t.’

‘Why? Because Merrick said so?’ You pouted ‘the big bad wolf said no?’ Standing on your toes you pressed your mouth against his ear ‘I’m not afraid of the big bad wolf Keegan. He should be afraid of me.’

You slid your hand down his waist into the valley of this thighs, raising a brow at his already hard cock. ‘Mmm perfect’ you cooed. He flinched at your touch, not away from you, into you. Inadvertently he rolled his hips further into your grasp.

The air shifted, just like it always did. It became thick, tense, almost putrid. You were Ying and Yang, cat and mouse. You were the devil reincarnate, and you’d invited him to your table.

Gripping his onyx hair between your fingers you jarred his neck backwards, revealing his neck. The skin pulsated from the swollen artery beneath, but he was still calm. Never wavering at your touch. Switching positions behind him you kicked the back of his knees, causing him to fall. He hissed between his teeth, pain or pleasure you weren’t sure.

His hair still entwined in your fingers you lazily dragged your tongue along the crook of his neck. His skin slightly salty from his sweat, you savoured the taste. ‘Look at you. On your knees for me’ you mocked, placing a possessive kiss on his jaw. His stubble nicked the delicate skin on your lips. The only delicate attribute you had.

You sighed a moan into his skin, one of contentment, you could have stayed like this with him forever. He shifted slightly beneath you, pulling back you stared into his ashen blue eyes. Bumping your nose against his you forced your lips onto him, driving your tongue into his mouth. You didn’t relent as you gripped him closer to your chest, hands wandering, pulling, dragging, twisting around his body.

Dropping to your knees you straddled his lap as he knelt beneath you. Still buried within his kiss, you rolled against his cock eliciting a deep groan from him. ‘You wanna touch me Keegan? Wanna feel how wet my pussy is for you?’ Your voice was sultry and hoarse, a whisper within a sea of white noise. Screwing his eyes shut he choked out a breath, a muffled sob as you kissed him again. ‘Fuck, I need your cock Russ, I need you so bad’ you murmured, your breath tickling his neck.

He peered up at you through hooded lids, panting softly trying to maintain composure. Gripping his neck between your fingers you pursed your lips, ‘you want that Keegan? You want me fuck you? Make you cum in my pussy?’ His eyes widened, as his jaw went slack trying to process your words. Ghosting your lips along his jaw you nipped his skin between your teeth, ‘you want that?’ He swallowed hard, his mouth audibly dry ‘yes.’

Shooting him a smile that would make the devil proud you yanked his trousers open. You slipped your hand into his clothes, pulling his cock free. Biting your lip you looked down on your prize, feeling yourself involuntarily clench against the seam of your trousers. A smirk rigged at your lips, seeing him so weak and broken beneath you. ‘Beg for me Russ.’

You wouldn’t stop until he was a quivering mess, a pleading, whimpering mess.

Sliding off him you left his cock standing to attention in the cold office air. Grabbing his cheeks between your fingers you gave him a peck ‘good boy.’ Spitting on his cock you watched as your saliva dribbled down his shaft, the sensation made him shudder as a soft whimper passed his lips.

Leaning back you snaked your fingers into your own trousers and towards your weeping cunt. Resting your forehead against his you played with yourself. Slipping two fingers into your hole as you panted against his lips ‘fuck I’m so wet, s’all for you Keegan, s’all for you.’ The sound of your fingers abusing your hole filled the room, his cock twitched violently against his abdomen as you came undone in front of him.

His mind was empty, unable to find words to speak, just hoarse whimpers that forced themselves past his vocal chords. Watching as you fucked your fingers right in front of him, your skin glowing in the dim light of the room. You were ethereal.

As you neared your high you pulled out, gently skimming your fingers over his lips and onto his tongue. The taste of your arousal flooded his senses, sweet yet a tang that was undeniably yours. He craved it. With your fingers placed firmly onto his tongue you kissed him, your tongues gliding over your fingers.

He wasn’t sure how much longer he could take of this, his cock painfully hard. Throbbing from needing to cum so badly. Your juices danced along his tastebuds as he fought against your tongue. He tried to rise from his knees but you pushed him back down, climbing onto him once more.

Pulling away from the kiss a ribbon of saliva connected the two of you snapped. Using the fingers that were just in his mouth your gripped his jaw, keeping it open. Narrowing your eyes you spat into his mouth, eliciting another groan from him. ‘Swallow baby’ you cooed tightening your grip. He did as he was asked, taking in shallow languid breaths.

‘So good for me Keegan, such a good boy.’

Readjusting your trousers you raised above his taught cock, even the gentle touch of your finger tips to guide it had him arching his back as he moaned. You slipped the head of his cock into your cunt, just the head. He choked out a breath as you removed it again. You repeated this motion over and over and over. Throwing his head back he finally relented ‘please … please … please’ he begged.

Kissing his neck your bit down on the sensitive skin, ‘well because you asked so nicely.’

Sinking down fully onto his thick cock you both gasped, jaws falling open at the sudden change in sensation. You started off slowly, rolling your hips back and forth. He let his head fall forward onto your shoulder as he whined into you. The strangled and muffled moans that came from the depths of his throat just spurred you on.‘Fuckfuckfuckfuck’ he stammered ‘feels so good.’

Cupping his head you picked up your pace, ‘doin so well for me’ you praised against his lips. He looked up at you completely drunk off your cunt, his rolling to the back of his head with pure ecstasy. You allowed your own moans of pleasure seep into his skin as you lifted your hips, crashing back down onto his cock. ‘Oh god … don’t stop … fuck’ he mewled.

Using your fingers you rubbed your clit whilst keeping a punishing pace. You’d already edged yourself so it didn’t take long before your orgasm rebuilt. Pushing your face into the crook of his neck you fell into the abyss, your muscles clenching around him. A surge of adrenaline flooded your system as you rode out your orgasm. As the haze lifted you once again gripped Keegans throat, applying more pressure to the sides of his neck this time. Tampering with his blood flow. He spluttered and writhed as he came, choking out a sob, his eyes now glassy and vision blurred. Arching his back his mouth fell open as he gasped for air, moaning and whimpering. Completely at your mercy.

‘Who do you belong to Keegan?’

‘You, Nox. You.’

Smiling with satisfaction you placed a kiss on his red swollen lips, before sliding him out of you. Hissing through your teeth at the sudden empty feeling. Looking down at Keegan you smirked, nothing more beautiful than a man completely at your mercy, begging.

Once you were re-dressed you tucked his drained and abused cock into his trousers once more. You’d chosen for him to kneel as it was a stress position, rendering his legs useless. Which is what you needed for the surprise you had in store for him. He knelt next to your chair, like a dog. You stroked his hair and whispered praises to him, working your hand down to trace the back of his neck with your nails. He was broken, shattered into a million pieces like a shattered mirror. Unable to be repaired fully.

Crossing your legs you let out a sigh, ‘Claude!’

The door swung open and in they marched, gagged and cuffed.

Merrick, Hesh and Logan.

They’d heard everything.

Liking Jen for Jen

Jennifer Walters x Reader

When Jen clearly has a crush on you, her best friend encourages her to ask you out. When another coworker is talking to you, she’s afraid she’s waited too long to ask

Note: I’m back with more Jen! I just adore her. No spoilers once again. Enjoy!

Jennifer Walters Masterlist, Main Masterlist

“Jen? Jen? Jennifer? Earth to Jen!” Nikki tries to get Jen’s attention as she walks into her office.

“Oh my bad, sorry hey,” Jen says although her attention isn’t fully on her best friend.

“What’s your deal?” She asks her, but when her eyes follow Jen’s she sees the culprit. “You know maybe if you just asked her out then you wouldn’t get so distracted by her talking to everyone else,” Nikki says.

“What? Who?” Jen tries to play dumb.

“Don’t be silly with me, Jen. I know you like her, so why not ask her out?”

“Oh, I don’t know there’s a million reasons,” Jen says with a sigh. “I’m just- I’m not going to ask her out. Can we drop it?”

“Okay, fine. But I think you should ask her,” Nikki says before she changes the subject to what she had come into her office for.

Today is one of the partner’s birthdays and everyone goes out for happy hour. You sit at the bar not really that interested in the celebrations.

“Penny for your thoughts?” Your coworker, Pug, asks as he sits next to you.

“Thinking about ordering another drink,” you reply. He laughs and asks the bartender for another round for you. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” he says. “So, hey y/n I was kind of wondering if you’d like to go out sometime? Like on a date?”

You’re stunned, honestly. You didn’t think he thought of you that way.

“Oh, I um- I’m not really looking to date right now. It’s just- yeah,” you explain.

“No worries,” Pug says.

Just then another coworker joins you at the bar and the conversation is over. You thank goodness for Mallory’s timing. Pug excuses himself to go play darts.

“So, that was interesting,” Mallory says.

“Right? I didn’t expect that to happen.”

“Me either. If anyone was going to ask you out, I expected it to be Walters,” she says.

You choke on your drink.

“Jen?” She nods. “You think Jen likes me?”

“You don’t?”

“Well, I mean I guess I just kind of didn’t think she wasn’t straight and/or into me,” you say.

“It seems to me like she likes you and remember that I know everything,” Mallory says before she takes her drink back to her booth.

You sit there a little dumbstruck at the idea of Jen being into you. Of course you’re into her. She’s gorgeous, talented, and an absolutely brilliant woman.

What you didn’t know is that Jen was sitting at a close by table with Nikki during all of this. She heard Pug ask you out and she got an undeniable pang of jealously in her gut.

“Go get her, Jen,” Nikki says.

“But what if she doesn’t like me?”

“Jen, if you can just conjure up the confidence of one man and ask her out then you’d know. You gotta do this for you. You can do this,” her best friend hypes her up.

“Okay, yeah. Okay. It’s just she said she wasn’t dating right now and-“

“Jen!”

“Okay, I’m going,” she says as she stands up from the table.

She walks up to the bar and nervously sits next to you.

“Hey y/n,” she says.

“Oh, hey Jen. It’s good to see you as Jen,” you say with a laugh.

“Ah yes, technically it’s a work event, but I was tired of hulking out,” Jen says.

“I like this look best,” you say, your eyes don’t miss the way Jen’s cheeks flush a light pink.

“Thank you. Um- can I ask you something?”

“Sure,” you say.

“Would you maybe want to go out to dinner?” Jen asks you.

“Like a date?”

“Yeah, if that’s what you’d like to do. No pressure of course and l’ll just go and leave you alone and I’m sorry I haven’t asked a woman out before and-“

“Jen, hey it’s okay,” you ease her worries with your hand over hers on the bar top. She smiles softly at you and you feel a warmth in your chest. “Yes, I’d like to go on a date with you Jen.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. Thank you for asking me,” you say.

“Thank you for giving me a chance,” she says.

Your hand is still over hers and you run your thumb over the back of her hand. The celebrations are almost over and you’ll be heading home soon.

So, you move closer to Jen and drop a soft kiss to her cheek.

“I’ll see you tomorrow?” You ask her.

“Tomorrow works, yeah,” Jen says. “I can’t wait.”

“Me either, Jen,” you say before you leave the bar.

Jen sits there smiling. She finally found someone who likes her for Jen and not just for She-Hulk. And she’s got a great feeling about you.

Hey could you write something abt Nick and reader being best friends and like she gets heartbroken and Nick is js there for her bc their like bestie until the restie so ya‼️ but I love your writing and if you can’t write this or your uncomfortable with it I get it!! Thank you for your timeeee :))))

a/n: i hope this is what you were thinking of, i recently got dumped so this was rlly helpful

wc: 967

cw: none just platonic stuff

Nick had been one of your closest friends for years now, you had met once at a sale for urban outfitters when you were 18. He grabbed a shirt with excitement and noticed the price, scrunching up his face and shaking his head, throwing it back on the rack. You noticed and laughed, making a comment about the price and how a sale isn’t actually a sale. And that’s all it took, soon enough you were inseparable. You, Nick, and Madi were always hanging out, just as you were when you first met your boyfriend, Madi hyped you up to go talk to him but he beat you to it. You almost immediately caught feelings for the boy and Nick was there helping you pick your outfit for your first date. That was about a year and a half ago and even though your boyfriend was nice and caring you noticed that he had his flaws. Unfortunately for you, Nick noticed too. So currently you sat in bed staring at your phone, the words “Read 15 minutes ago” haunting your brain.

Your stomach twisted into pretzels trying not to let your worst nightmares cloud your mind. Soon the familiar bubbles popped up on your screen, you whipped up in bed, clutching your phone with your breath stuck in your throat. You watched as the 4 dreaded words came to your screen. “We need to talk.” Tears stung at the back of your eyes as you slowly began to type “Ok.” You watched the message send before your phone buzzed, a phone call you never wanted to answer popping up. Slowly you pressed the green accept button and held the phone to your ear. “We need to break up. We aren’t in the same place we used to be.” And que the water works. All the air you had held escaped you, seemingly gone forever. You didn’t respond, you just hung up. Quickly scrolling to Nick’s contact and pressing call. “Heyyyyyyy! I’m in the car with Chris and Ma-” Nick fell silent as he heard you desperate gasps for breath. “Y/N? Y/N what’s wrong? Hold on, we’re coming to pick you up. Matt, go to Y/N’s house now.” You knew you didn’t need to say anything to Nick. He had heard every fight between you and your boyfriend, knew every single time your boyfriend pissed you off and knew that if you were crying like this that there was something extra bad happening.

Within 10 minutes Nick was in your apartment and Matt and Chris had gone to get you food, Nick’s orders. He walked into your room and sat on your bed, pulling you into a tight hug. You felt like you were in another world, like you were watching yourself cry into Nick. Honestly part of you was happy you weren’t totally in it because it felt a bit embarrassing to be this upset over someone else. Nick gently petting your hair as he let you cry into him. After a few sad songs and a good 20 minutes of crying you had stopped, sniffling and pressing the puffiness that had accumulated around your eyes. “He broke up with me…” You softly admitted and Nick’s face contorted. “Ew, what a fucking idiot.” You giggled a pained giggle before looking up at the boy. “Yeah I guess so.” He smiled at you and pulled out his phone. “You know what helps me when men decide to be stupid?” You shook your head as you watched Nick open tik tok. Quickly he pulled up an old video of Matt and handed you the phone. “You boyfriend broke up with you? Here’s what I’m going to say, you ready? His loss. It’s ok that you’re single, it’s ok that you don’t have a boyfriend.” You stifled a laugh before liking the video. Nick’s jaw dropped and you smirked over at him. “That person is going to post something about me liking that video, you know that right?” You laughed at Nick’s shock. “Yeah I know.” Nick laughed with his mouth still open before taking his phone back and turning it off. “Matt really spitting facts though, you know that?” You nodded silently, a smile still present on your face. You heard your doorbell ring and stood, walking to your door and opening it to see Matt and Chris holding your favorite milkshake and shitty burger. Chris was leaned against your door frame and Matt held the food out to you. He awkwardly smiled and nodded at you. Chris smiled at you and gave you a fist bump before Nick came over to shoo them off. You closed the door and stared at the food. “Your brothers are awesome, tell Matt I’ll venmo him.” You said as you brought the food to your living room table. “Nope, I paid for it. You don’t need to worry about that right now.” You stood and hugged Nick again, tears threatening to fall down your cheeks once more. “Nuh uh hoe, we just stopped crying, it's food time now.” You sniffled and nodded, stepping back to your food and immediately devouring it. Nick watched in awe before laughing again. “Gimme your phone.” He said, you complied without much thought. Honestly you were in concentration of your food, barely noticing Nick removing your ex from your social media and gallery.

The day carried on, Nick pulling your focus away from anything that even resembled your new ex. The two of you now sat by your tv, the credits of Edawrd Scissorhands playing in the background. “Sooo now that I’m single, what’s Matt up to?” You were joking of course but seeing Nick whip his head around at you made you bust out laughing. He watched you die laughing before shaking his head. “I hate you bro.” “Love you too Nicky-poo!”

DAMN CAP YOU COOKED THIS IS MASSIVE!! SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 72 OF PN BELOW BEWEAR!!

OHH SHE TOOK THE EARINGS WITH HER STEALING THEM ok i’m a fool right this makes sense.

Girl. girl please. “You gotta trust me marinette I’m the only one you can trust” YOU WERE TRYING TO SCAM HER

Love Fei, the dichotomy of man is so real with her

Damn brother what an intro, and then we snap back to Juleka pretending she is Batman. I hope she is at least enjoying running around on the rooftops she wanted to chapters ago

I genuinely can’t tell if girly has a concussion or not. I am one to be tricked by the narrator so since she’s saying she doesn’t i’m like “Oh ok, i trust you”

Aww cute Alya and Juleka friending it up real style, I like how Alya was begging panthera to find marinette, so real of her.

Juleka: dont worry i actually do this super often

Alya: be concussed on a rooftop?

HA-

Yooo super soulmate tracking activated??

I still find the fact that Marinette said that they “speedran dating” to be hilarious

Fei panicking like this is her first sleepover is so silly style

AUGH NO MARINETTE IS NOT THE PERSON TO ADMIT YOU WANT TO KILL SOMEONE TO

Like i love girly but damn Fei you did not choose the right person to admit murderous intent to

Like maybe this is good for Fei to be told “hey girl that’s a bit far” but like let the girl get her emotions off her chest before invalidating them LB damn

Cash, my brother, fuck off. Fei, kick him in the balls, I command thee.

She was being emotionally vulnerable! Let her have her moment!

Damn brother, Cash really just hit Marinette with the fact that good people can do bad things for reasons they see as good, this will literally break her good people meter.

Panthera where be you

Ricky, ricky when I catch you ricky (me about Cash)

YES GIRL (marinette said screw you, i’m hype)

Oop- Marinette is fighting back, and now she pointed out the obvious (to us, not to Fei)

Damn brother plot twist (which I forgor)

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, poor Fei. Girly it’s ok he took advantage of you in a vulnerable state that’s not your fault augh I feel awful for her

NOOO HAWKCOCK RETURNS BAD TIMING FUCK OFF

Help “what’d her glove do?” his hysterical

She pointed at the little akuma resting on her finger, “Are you gonna eat that?”

“Obviously not! Are you- oh you are. Okay.” ok so. Can marinette eat akumas to purify them?

Hey did Fei just get a real concussion?? Exciting

Who are these random lesbians in my father’s ancient duty cave? I ACTUALLY LOST IT

Oh damn the prodigious have shown up this chapter! Nice.

NAH NOT HAWKMOTH HAVING PTSD FROM PANTHERA HAAA

Sorry not many comments on this bit i’m too into it to write

Realest reaction to gaining super powers

Wha da hell the renlings are mad. I do not remember them from the shanghai special i just remembered big lion guy

Damn motherfucker this shit bangs

Fei having the time of her life is very fun, it’s also been rather novel to have so much not-Juleka POV lately! Though that tracks with how much you like Fei!

I do wonder if you’re going to have her show up outside of this arc or naw, I guess i shall wait and see >:3

Could these lesbians please focus? HELP FEI STOP BEING SILLY

Damn nobody wants her to kill Cash. except me, Kill him Fei. I demand thee.

I mean i think it would permanently scar her, but yknow, character building gotta come from somewhere buddy

Goddamn!! That rocked. Fei kicked his ass, hell yeah. Glad she didn’t kill him though (shush i have layers)

Help the awkward after battle chat with Hawkmoth what is this

FEI HAS A POINT THIS IS WEIRD AS SHIT

Backstory?? For Cash?? Ohhhh its that fucker. Cash is the guy who- oh ok it’s all coming together

HELP THE CHAOS

YOOO LION AKUMA HELLLL YEAH

I’ve always thought his akuma was sick as fuck

HAWKMOTH DIED/??

HELP SO MUCH IS HAPPENING ROSE CALLED AND- GTVNBUREFI

Ok so my suspicion that Adrien will find out has dimmed, but the embers are still there. Maybe he’ll be vaporized.

Yeah maybe now isn’t the time for impromptu therapy ladies

Hell yeah, Panthera for the emotional intelligence win you go girl

Oh no it went wrong, Fei running away from your problems doesn’t work this is an awful time to do that!

No because Fei literally challenges Marinnettes ideals of a good person, her black and white way of thinking about things has been a (interesting!) source of conflict throughout this but i don’t believe she has ever disagreed with someone in this way that she actually likes. Idk if this makes sense, basically what I’m saying is this could be an interesting way to develop her black and white view on good and evil

I have feelings about it all ok??

“I can’t think about this” YES YOU CAN LB

I’m curious when Juleka will use that power again, also what is it called?

HELP NO i am actually out of breath from how much i laughed at Juleka picking up the phone for Rose WHILE CLIMBING WHATS HIM NAME SHADOW OF THE COLLOSUS STYLE

GIRL. HAVE SOME PRIORITIES.

WAIT IWIAIT WIH3W

WHAY

WITA

JULEKA CALLED HER SUNBEAM? ISN’T THAT WHAT SHE CALLED ROSE AS PANTHERA OR AM I GOING INSANE

WAIT. ROSE HAS A CLUE NOW? I’M GOING INSANE CAP

CAP PLEASE

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE ROSE-JULEKA REVEAL FOR YEARS

WHEN.

Sorry i went mad

In my head when LB was flung off the big guy she pinwheeled through the air silly style

Is. is fei just flying about crying? “A mournful cry” and “red and gold streaked above them” like. As a bird i think that counts as flying about for the fuck of it and sobbing it up real style

It has been. A week maybe more. Sorry got distracted read 1.4 mill for another work got way too invested, we are so back though

And back to Fei’s POV epic crying girl montage qued

“And it was all her fault” girl please, there is a dickhead called HM and I think it’s more his fualt than yours, get over yourself

The renlings are so cool, the dialogue you had them do was mega cool cap

Dragon renling is bad ass, personally i would name them. He is now dubbed; Daniel.

Damn move over Juleka, there’s a new therapist in down, his name is Daniel the Dragon

Oh thank fuck, when Daniel said forgive i was like bitch Cash doesn’t deserve that, but forgiving herself makes so much sense.

Not Panthera offering to fix her makeup- Juleka is so sweet girl

“We’ve got your back, Fei.” Ladybug exclaimed, “L-Like; If you need a plan, I’ve got one. I’ve got a great plan. I just need a GIANT jug- this made me lose it. What the fuck LB what would a giant jug do pray tell

YEAH DRAGON TIME

Sorry, that piece about her dad was lovely and it was awesome to read, it swept me up so i just ended up saying dragon time

Hm how does the dragon speak if it doesn’t have lips (in my head)

No because ack what is this plan that involves a giant vase. Panthera you go girl don’t let her get eaten by another akuma, the dinosaur was enough. What will they do for Feast if not be eaten though that is the real question

Ya girly Fei just kicked kaiju ass in under 5 minutes because their timers were going off so, current MVP of the series; Fei, followed by Juleka for her metallica moment

Aww Mei Shi is adorable

He's so nice help

WHERE DID HE GO

Also wonderful break POV, that was a good line

Get his ass gang, cash is a dick

MEI SHI IS ADORABLE YAYAY AND SMALL

Fei has like 13 friends now. Is there 12 renlings or no i can’t remember

“Ooh sounds yummy.”

“You sounded a lot more professional as a robot guardian guy.”

“I was. Now I’m small and terrible.”

“Joy.” I LOVES HIM SO MUCH HE IS SO BABY!!! If only they returned to Paris with LB and Panthera, he could be friends with plagg.

Juleka now has a favor…

Oh yeah plagg realised he could leave the ring while Juleka is transformed. That feels like an important detail.

“OH MY GOD I HAVE PARENTS.” i love marinette. I loved this whole interaction actually, “water under the bridge, forced under the bridge” and all that was really funny

Also the fact that Adrien didn’t know your not allowed to sleep with a concussion has me concerned.

Oh yay!! Juleka and Fei ‘therapy’ session

“That’s our everyday Ladybug!”

“AHA. YEAH. THAT SAYING. LANKS ADRIEN. I MEAN THANKS LADRIEN. THANKS. ADRIEN. AHAH.” realest reaction to that

The ending was very cosy, lots of fun :3

Finito!!!!!!! Amazing chapter Cap, ten out of ten, no a hundred out of ten is more fitting. I look forward to what comes next >:3

DANIEL I’m wheezing

I’m so glad you enjoyed bud! I’m gonna try and keep Fei in her lane for the rest of the fic or else my favoritism will show.

as for Panthera’s “special mode”, that’s called Mass Obliteration!

Plagg leaving the ring while Panthera is transformed is a marker on how much experience she’s had being Panthera.

When characters are transformed, they absorb that Kwami’s power to wear the suit. Then they expend a lots of that magic to use their powers and if they’re young and haven’t used that miraculous much- or don’t have lots of magic in general- then that magic is pretty much depleted to nothing once that power is used and their battery runs out after five minutes.

The Kwami is like the power source to the holder’s battery/charge, with the miraculous being the chord between them. Usually you need them “plugged in” aka in the miraculous at all time when the holder is transformed. However! Panthera’s gotten so used to Plagg’s essence that even if he leaves the ring for a bit, she can stay transformed as she has a bit of his magic to naturally spare. I hope that makes sense I’m babbling. Thank you to my buddy @ghostatjoes for that lore.

The base was in the original Shanghai episode. Ladybug’s plan was to get vored and break the akuma from the inside. It had organs. Mei Shi had organs. I was so disturbed, I didn’t wanna write that— and also I felt like Ladybug overhauling Fei’s fight was wrong. That was HER villain yknow. Wanted Fei to finish it all by herself.

I’m glad you enjoyed! This was def one of my favorite chapters ever to write. I think the size is an obvious indicator. I hope you guys enjoy Season 3! It’s coming I swear. I’m just writing a fun chapter before I drag you all into my hole of hell that I’ve been stewing over for years.

Thor Love and Thunder Trailer Thoughts

Holy Crap! They just uploaded another trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder. I definitely have thoughts, especially since it’s the sequel to my favorite MCU film.

The trailer is narrated by Korg. I wonder if this is just for the trailer or maybe the legit framing device. I’m guessing it’s not the actual framing device.

They seem to be fighting some kind of insect monster. Maybe they’re minions of the villain.

Thor and Jane are reunited. They almost look like twins. Jane got jacked.

Jane says “what’s it been? 3 Years? 4 Years” to which Thor corrected by saying it’s been 8 years, 7 months and 6 days. First of all Thor is definitely not over the break up. Secondly, the disparity has about a five year difference. Guessing Jane got dusted in the snap.

Ooh more good visuals! Anyone who tells you Visual Effects are not cinematography is just being some kind of weird purist. (Also they’re objectively wrong).

Valkyrie asks Thor “Am I sensing feelings?” It cuts to Thor and Jane

Then it cuts do Thor making a sound that is pretty much No.

Notice how the response is from a completely different location. Now the trailer might want us to think that Valkyrie is talking about Thor and Jane, but maybe it’s actually Thor and her. Could it be a sort of love triangle, or even better: polyamorous relationship! What would be a Thor - Valkyrie- Lady Thor ship name be called. Thorskyrie? Thorkyriethor?

Gorr the God Butcher looks cool! It’s a great idea that they went with skinny Bale (well Skinny-ish. This is not buff Bale from Batman, but he isn’t freakishly thin like in the Machinist) since he looks a bit creepier this way. I also love how he’s almost exclusively in black and white, contrasting the bright colors of the rest of the film. His deal seems to be that gods only think of themselves. Maybe he hates gods because they’re apathetic to the suffering of mortals.

Here’s a look in color. There’s a bit of dead behind the eyes look in this shot which probably makes him seem otherworldly. There’s a coldness to his stare.

The ship’s being pulled by goats!

Jane taking out a bunch of enemies at once. Almost more impressively than Thor.

The trailer implies that Gorr can bust a planet by stabbing it. I don’t know if it’s actually him, but if it is: he’s pretty OP and a legit threat. Didn’t even need an infinity gauntlet.

Valkyrie is fighting Gorr. I hope she’s not a sacrificial lamb! She’s one of my favorite MCU characters! I notice she seems to have a thunderbolt from Zeus.

Here are some shots of the Guardians of the Galaxy. I notice that most of their shots are on the same planet. I think they might not have a big role in this film.

Gorr is saying “You are not like the other gods that I killed. You have something worth fighting for” This is leaning more into his possible motive of hating Gods for their selfishness. We also get a shot of what seems like Thor and Jane holding pinkies.

Here we have Russel Crowe as Zeus. He’s going to flick off Thor’s “disguise”

That’s might not be pixelated in the actual film. Also does Thor have back scars? Are those new?

I love that both the Female and Male gods faint at naked Hemsworth. I mean, on one hand they’re Greek so they shouldn't freak out at this. On the other hand, it’s Chris Hemsworth.

Jane is like “should we help him”, to which Valkyrie is like “eventually... Grape?”. I like how it seems Valkyrie’s personality is back (she came off a little bland in her short time in Endgame)! I also don’t think this is a reaction to the nudity, but instead it’s probably a reaction to Thor fighting someone in the arena.

It ends on another beautiful shot! I’m hyped for this film!

#thor love and thunder #thor #mcu #marvel #valkyrie #Jane foster #gorr the god butcher #chris hemsworth #tessa thompson #natalie portman #christian bale #russell crowe #trailer #disney

Oblivious to you

Notes - I know we know barely anything about them, but that won’t fucking stop me cause I’m already a simp. Besides the splatfest got me excited to write this so: HAVE FUN READING BITCHES.

Pairing - Shiver (splatoon) x reader

---

Okay so, Shiver isn’t an idiot. Far from it actually.

They are an incredibly smart individual, usually in the group they’re in, taking charge with planning with some help from Frye and Big man.

They also have countless little facts about a bunch of topics and on certain topics they can practically teach you everything about it.

Even with flirting they are incredibly smooth and charming. They’re an idol for a reason. They know where to place their fan to make them seem more mysterious and interesting. And with fan interactions they know just what to say to make a fan blush or light up.

However, when it came to you, it seemed their skills in observation have disappeared out of thin air. You guessed it’s because they think you are joking whenever you seem to flirt with them, or something along those lines, because they never seemed to clock in the fact that you’ve been hardcore flirting with them for a year.

It started out innocent and smooth enough. A few compliments here and there, doing small things like opening the door and similar small things.

—

You stared at Shiver from across the room.

They were getting their makeup ready for the show in front of their vanity right beside Frye who was doing the same.

Big man was already done with everything so he was sitting next to you on the couch that was against the wall opposite of the vanities.

It was hard to not stare at them, after all, they were gorgeous in your eyes and you were so lucky to just be their friend. You decided however, after a bunch of overthinking, you were going to try and make it a bit more obvious that you like them more than just a friend.

Thanks to anxiety however this wasn’t going to be anything big. You decided that there is no better way to start than the present. So you have been waiting patiently to give them a compliment, practicing what you’re going to say in your head.

Luckily Frye was done first, both you and Big man hyping her up from the couch as she posed dramatically as if she was already on stage. The three of you dissolved into giggles and you saw Shiver turn to you three to give a small smile.

Eventually Shiver was done and as they stood up and turned around, you smiled at them. You took a deep breath to calm your nerves. “You look amazing, Shiver.”

They gave a grin. “Thank you, (y/n).” They said, you thought you did it, but that’s when Frye and Big man hyped them up too when you realized it was not going to be seen as something more than a friendly compliment. Well until you find the confidence to do more, this is all you’d be doing for now.

It still felt good to say what you think, you did hope you didn’t sound like some fan trying too hard.

—

They didn’t seem to get it, which fair enough, you wouldn’t either. It’s hard to clock when someone is genuinely flirting with you. So you started doing bigger things, flirting heavier and making it clear that you like them.

But in the end that didn’t seem to work either.

—

You and Shiver were outside. It was dark and the park you two were in was dimly lit.

The two of you decided to go on a walk, it was a nice evening and it felt good to have some alone time with Shiver. Frye and Big man were too tired from the day so they stayed in the apartment the three idols shared with each other.

It was quiet and the stars shone brightly. You decided it was the right time to start flirting heavier, you took all the courage you had and forced yourself to say what you’ve been thinking out loud. “Did I ever tell you about how you remind me of stars?” You asked, giving a small glance to Shiver who was walking beside you.

“Hm? No you haven’t, I am curious though, do tell why.” Shiver answered with a smile.

“Well, I feel like you easily shine as brightly as them. Even if you don’t say a lot you stand out in a room. People keep their distance only because they think you shine so bright that they’re nowhere near your level.” You began, giving another deep breath before continuing. “Not to mention that you’re simply gorgeous and out of this world.”

“That’s-” They cut themself off as they giggled lightly. “That was incredibly nice of you to say, I’ll keep that comment close to me.”

You were so proud of yourself having said it, until a few days later it became clear that they saw it as a friendly comment once more as they told the other two about it, telling how amazing of a friend you are. It stung a bit, but it was them just being oblivious right? You hoped for it.

—

That’s when you decided to just outwardly tell them, it didn’t work either. Luckily it didn’t feel like a rejection or that they wanted to avoid the topic. They genuinely thought you were joking or weren’t serious about it.

—

It was getting a bit hard, I mean Frye and Big man knew. You weren’t sure if Shiver knew or if they just wanted to not let you bring it up anymore.

Today was the day you’ll know for sure. You were going to straight up confess to see what they thought about it. It’s been a long few months already so this is going to help a bunch, for everyone involved.

So you waited until you two could be alone and gave a small signal to Frye and Big man who looked at each other, back at you and nodded. After they did they came up with a small excuse to leave the room, leaving you and Shiver alone.

“Hey Shiver, can I tell you something real quick?” You wanted to get this done as soon as possible, just rip the bandaid off.

“Hm? Of course, I’m all ears.” They said turning to you from the place they were sitting with a smile.

“I just- I just wanted to let you know I like you, like a lot.”

You were afraid it was going to be silent afterwards, but the fact that they didn’t miss a beat didn’t fully make you relax either.

“I like you too, (y/n).” They responded with a smile. “You’ve always been an amazing friend, so it’s hard to not like you.”

That’s all you needed to hear, you were just a friend to them. So you forced a small smile and continued the conversation as normal until you went home. You may have cried in your pillow that night, but nobody needs to know that.

—

After that situation you mostly backed off, sometimes you couldn’t help yourself with giving maybe a few too many compliments, but that was about it.

You thought that this was it, you just had to get over them and move on with your life.

But then something unexpected happened that not only you, but also Frye and Big man were stunned by.

—

You were once again hanging out with the idols, watching them as they practiced their new choreography.

It’s been about two weeks after your confession, so you’re still trying to work the feelings away you have for Shiver. Luckily you love watching all of them dance, trying to keep yourself from staring at Shiver for too long.

They decided to take a little break so all three were doing something, drinking some water and sweating out a bit.

Shiver decided to come sit next to you, drinking their water and smiled when turning to you. “What do you think of the new choreography?” They asked as they put their water bottle away, before turning back to you.

“I think it’s amazing! It fits you three a lot with the different choreography, but still the same vibe to the music. I love the Big man’s spins, Frye’s very energetic moves and how you manage to always move so elegantly no matter what.” You gave them a smile.

They giggled. “Why thank you, you’re always so kind.” You couldn’t help yourself. “Well it’s easy to compliment you, after all you're incredibly amazing and beautiful…” You trailed off as you realized what you said, your face warming up in embarrassment as you avoided eye contact.

“Are…” They trailed off, causing you to look at them for their expression to find any clue on what they mean. When you looked at them their face was filled with shock as their eyes were wide open, with their mouth hanging open a bit too. You mentioned for them to continue what they were going to say, which caused them to snap out of their shock a little bit to get out their full sentence.

“Are you flirting with me?” At this everything just stopped for a moment. Big man whipped around to see what was going on as Frye dropped her bottle of water with her jaw hanging open. You just stared at Shiver blinking a lot more than you should need in that minute.

After everything came in for you, your face dropped in a deadpan with a small smirk. You decided to take this moment to be maybe a little salty about it. “Have been for the past year, but thanks for noticing, darling.”

It was Shiver’s turn to blink as they stared at you with more shock and a blush slowly crawling onto their face. “I- are you serious?”

“Yeah,” Frye decided to speak up. “They have been. Big man and I have been trying to help them out by sometimes leaving you two alone or hyping them up from somewhere you couldn’t see.”

Big man gave a small nod with a quiet ‘Ay!’ to confirm what Frye had just said.

“So when you-” You cut them off. “Yep”

“And when we-” Frye cut them off this time. “If you’re talking about the walk, yep yep that was flirting.”

“And when I-” Big man cut them off at last. “Ay!”

“Yeah I told you that I liked you romantically. At least that is how I meant it.” You said just having a tired smile on your face.

“And I accidentally rejected you, without knowing friendzoning you.” Shiver finished as they let themselves slip down a bit from the chair they were sitting on as they realized how oblivious they were to your advances.

“Yep.” You, Frye and Big man all said at the same time in your own way.

Shiver groaned and hid their face with their hands. Judging from their red ears they were hiding their red face.

“I think me and Big man should give you both some privacy, we’ll go get some take out since our practice is already over!” Frye announced, before leaving the room with Big man following her out.

“Are you doing okay, Shiver?” You asked them.

They nodded. “Yeah I’m doing alright, just a bit embarrassed.”

You smiled at them. “Penny for your thoughts?”

“I just can’t believe I’ve been accidentally friendzoning my crush for an entire year without realizing it.” They said rubbing their face as your face turned warm from the confession.

When the shock passed you started giggling at what they’re saying. They pouted at you and grabbed their fan, lightly and playfully smacking you with it. You shielded yourself from the smack still laughing.

“Yeah go ahead, just laugh at my suffering.” They said waving you off.

This was the moment. The moment you’ve been waiting for: a chance to be smooth.

You gently grabbed their hands into yours as they waved you off. They turned to you with a flustered expression. You let go of one of their hands and put it on their cheek, gently caressing it with your thumb. “You do know you haven’t lost your chance yet, right?”

You saw them gulp as you moved closer to them.

You leaned in until you and them were nose to nose. You didn’t come any closer as you watched the blushing idol realize that you wanted them to close the gap.

They took a shaky breath before closing the gap, kissing you softly. You smiled as you kissed back, still holding their hand and cheek.

—

And that was how you two got together. A fun story for you and an embarrassing one for your partner.

A story that Frye and Big man were part of.

A story that got a few giggles from Marina and got Pearl rolling on the ground when you met ‘Off the hook’.

A story that got the squid sisters teasing Shiver in their own way. It was a dream meeting those two.

And a story that you and Shiver will forever remember as an amazing memory.

Damon Sims imagine? Reader being his girlfriend and him surprised seeing her in lingerie at the fashion show in the back door pilot episode?

I’m so into you | Damon Sims x black! Reader — Oct. Prompts

A/N: decided to tweak this a bit since we’re in my fav season of the year! I’m also flopping compared to last year but lmao Thank you for your request! Reader is given a name since I didn’t feel like adding y/n for this one!

Prompt: 15. “Does that even count as a costume? Or lingerie?”

. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ ࿐ྂ . . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ ࿐ྂ . . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ ࿐ྂ . . . ⇢ ˗ˏ

“Okay bitch!” Keisha screamed at the sight of you as she opened the door to the Airbnb.

You spun around on the doorstep, faux leather trench coat flapping in the autumn air as you did so.

Nathan peeked around the corner asking, red cup in one of their hands, “Who is that?”

“Dessy Des.” Keisha answered as you stepped into the warm temporary home, shortly embracing you afterwards.

Keisha glanced down at you again and let out a low-whistle, “girl you’re looking hot as fuck and if you’re gonna keep flashing everyone here tonight, I might have to start tipping.”

The both of you shared a laugh as Nate fully came into the entry way to stand beside their bestie, “Careful Keish. Your man is just in the living room—

You decided to open your coat again for your friend as well who’s mouth flew open before a smile split onto their lips, “I suddenly might be straight. I’m living for this moment!”

This time you fully tied up the trench coat together as you blew a kiss at Nate and took the time to take in each of their outfits as well. Your eyes immediately went to Nate who was all grins and spun to the side and began popping their back. Of course you hyped them up before they spun to face you, hands clasped over the other as they waited for you to guess their fit.

Everyone here at Simone’s spooky spectacular soirée (yes it was a mouthful but it was her first major gathering let the girl live, you argued in favor of your new friend!) planned to surprise each other with their celebrity costumes. No posts were allowed, only selfies if they couldn’t contain their excitement to their stories in order to not ruin the surprise. Your friend group loved posting together whenever there were gatherings and coming from a minor film major like yourself, it was slightly difficult.

Tapping your chin you took in the wine and orange satin crop top jacket, berry fitted cap, teased honey blonde hair underneath, the belly chain, and the low-rise cargo pants.

“Hold on, I know you’ll get it when I also do this!” Nate pulled the blue gum from somewhere behind their cup while Keisha scrunched up her nose at the action; leaving Nate to toss the gum into their mouth to pop a bubble.

Clapping your hands together you shouted out, “Beyoncé, crazy in love!”

“Yesss! It took you longer than Simone but you got it!”

Rolling your eyes, that didn’t surprise you.

Simone was definitely part of the beehive and always made it know to all of you.

“It’s quite fitting isn’t it, Des?” Keisha commented making Nate give her the side eye.

“And it definitely sounds like you got something on your chest so why don’t you just say it sis?” Nate returned the same energy, making your eyes widen.

You knew what this was about. You also didn’t agree with Nate seeing their no good ex again but Keisha was more vocal about it and didn’t have a problem saying it. Keisha saw it all, more than you or Simone did and it was evident that Nate’s ex put them through it and she was there through everything so she felt like she had the right to say something about it.

Also you didn’t want to say shit either…due to the whole predicament you were dealing with so you kept your thoughts to your damn self.

Keisha gave you a sarcastic smile, swinging her wavy hair over her shoulder before she turned to Nate, lips open and ready to get into it with her best friend.

“Hey!” You interrupted, “you didn’t let me guess your outfit.”

Keisha wore a all cream outfit that consisted of a two piece. The top was long sleeved, cropped, and wired at the cleavage area. The skirt was also mini and flowy with her movements.

“Yeah, yeah you can guess in a minute.” Keisha kept her glare on your friend who tucked one arm underneath their opposite elbow, ready for whatever the almond skinned girl was about to say, “someone here needs to tell Nate that they need to stop living this true Beyoncé dream and let that man go.”

Nate furrowed their brow, “Let me tell you something—

This was useless. So you chucked up the deuces to your two friends who began arguing about Keisha’s lack of support and left the room. Heading around the corner you spotted more of your friends seated in the living room. Your eyes went to the cotton webs splattered along the windows that covered the curtains, witch hats were hanging from the ceiling, pumpkins were by the lit electric fireplace, paper bats were draped along the mantle, with multiple white and black skinny candles were on each side on the top of the mantle underneath black material, and one large candle was actually lit in the center right underneath the flat screen television.

“God, this candle is giving me a headache.” Thea complained entering the living room from the opposite end as she moved to stand in front of it, “I don’t know what the hell simone was thinking when she picked this candle! It stinks!”

Of course she was here complaining already.

“Now Thea, you know we can’t see the screen with that big ass head you got.” Cam commented, making you snort.

Damon immediately knocked his knuckles against Cam’s arm, basically telling him to knock it off with his eyes.

Thea was already glaring after she blew out the candle, making sure Damon had her back. This action also made you want to roll your eyes.

“I’m saying cause of how she’s got her hair styled tonight,” Cam defended, “it’s not like I’m really out here measuring the circumference of anybody’s dome. You in the way and I’m just trying to pick some music.”

“Well you could have asked nicely. You don’t have to talk to me crazy, please act like you know that.” Thea rolled her neck around, the weight of the half up and down hairstyle must be starting to get to her.

Briefly you took in her costume, noticing that she was in a inspired coming to America bridal wear. Instead of the gold attire that Vanessa Bell Calloway wore, Thea wore a rose gold two-piece that was haltered instead of turtle neck and a high skirt with a slit going up her thigh.

“My fault,” Cam sucked his teeth, “but let’s not act like you excused yourself before you blocked the damn tv.”

“Whatever Cam, you’ve always got something to say.”

“Says the girl that’s looking for a fight right now all because she don’t have manners.”

“shut up!”

Damon sat right on the couch, head held back in annoyance as the two went at it. It was never that serious in the first place but of course it wouldn’t be a gathering without some family bickering.

“There she is!” A voice called out to you, making your eyes shift to JR who beamed at you.

You smiled at mocha skinned man who easily embraced you. Either he was oblivious to what was going on or was either ignoring it, you weren’t sure but equally smiled as you embraced your friend who gently rocked you from side to side.

“Here you go,” JR handed you a red cup of green liquor making you tilt your head before sniffing at it, “yeah…I don’t recommend doing that.”

“Thanks for the after thought.” You coughed, cautiously taking a sip to find that it was actually sweet on your tongue but burned on its way down.

JR laughed at your facial expressions, reaching forward to squeeze your shoulder, “you alright there…blade?”

Holding your chest you dipped your head rapidly, “yeah, yeah. Don’t play with me JR,” you warned the beaming boy who raised his hands in surrender, “who the hell made this?”

“Lando,” JR answered, “we don’t know what it is either but Simone put him on drink duty and we can’t get her out the kitchen since.” He sent you a knowing look which made you shrug your shoulders in response.

Personally you didn’t hate the idea of Simone ending up with Lando, if the universe aligned it that way then so be it. However it only seemed like Damon had a issue with it since Lando challenged him and egos ran big on sport teams, you knew that being a track star.

“So if I’m wrong on you being blade…then what’s the fit?” JR questioned, taking a sip from his own cup and sucked air between his teeth. He then shook his head and moved over to place the cup on the coffee table. He was done with that option for the night.

Cam frowned, “Blade? JR, Destiny is not blade. She don’t even have the shades or the shape up. She’s obviously one of them Charlie’s Angels or something.”

“Man, What do you know about Charlie’s angels?” JR laughed as Thea walked by, taking notice of you as she moved to squeeze right in between Cam and Damon.

Cam slid over some, giving Thea a look who crossed one leg over the other, leaning into Damon while staring hard at you.

You found this amusing.

Thea blinked turning to see Cam staring at her, proving his point.

“Fine. Excuse me, happy?” Thea bit with a sarcastic smile.

Cam scoffed at her and turned back to you who saw Damon give you a small wave while Thea previously had her gaze on Cam.

“Am I right?”

“See how he didn’t answer my question,” JR muttered to you making you nod with a laugh.

Cam flicked his eyes over to the boy, “I know a lot about Charlie’s angels.”

“Oh yeah and when has any of them wore a trench coat?” Damon spoke up.

Can paused, eyes up to the ceiling as he thought about it, “I know Drew Barrymore had to in one of those scenes.

“No, bro.” Damon shook his head with a laugh, “that ain’t it either.”

Cam whipped his head back to you and you replied, “sorry, bud. I’m no Angel either.”

Thea muttered, “you can say that again.”

You chose to ignore her, “no points for anyone here yet! Keisha and Nate got a nice look at the front door but didn’t get to guess. I only know what Nate is but Keisha’s outfit…”

Cam held up his finger, cleared his throat and broke out into a very familiar routine before getting into your face as he hit a pose, “something about you baby—

“…michael? In the closet?” Your eyes scanned his black and white attire, the white tank contrasted against his dark skin that shined along with the gold necklace he added to the fit but you knew you were right after picking up a signature move cam did.

Cam clapped his hands, “yessir!”

“What gave it away? the lyrics or cam’s fresh relaxer?” JR joked while Cam sucked his teeth once more.

You reached up and around to flick Cam’s ponytail, “okay, inches! Is it human or synthetic?”

“It’s called homegrown from mindyobusiness.com.”

Which made both you and JR share some laughter as Cam plopped back down on the couch, snatching up the remote as the both of you lightly clowned him.

“No for real, its dope especially with the performance you just delivered. No one can hate on a MJ fit, if it’s done properly.” You observed.

“I know that.” Cam huffed, making you raise your brow as he glanced at you before a slow smile graced his lips, “appreciate you saying that.”

Sighing you moved on as Cam settled on a lil baby track to echo throughout the house. You moved to sit on a nearby wicker chair as you settled on JR’s fit who moved into your sight, posing as he did so. You could lightly hear Damon laughing from his spot across the room.

Humming to yourself you grinned, “Malcom X. I knew the ginger propaganda would get one of us out the group.” You joked making JR playfully roll his eyes.

“He wanna be different so bad.” Cam mocked, glancing at Damon who dapped him up as his eyes crinkled while he laughed.

“I thought this was a celebrity themed party not historical.” Thea remarked, texting away on her phone.

JR declared with a peer over his shoulder, “Malcom X is just as revolutionary—if not more than any celeb that you’re currently stalking on Instagram thea, thank you very much.”

“Whatever,” Thea locked her phone knowing she was caught, “where’s everyone else that’s supposed to be here? This whole shingding is putting me to sleep.”

“Shingding?” Damon repeated.

“We still need to know what Destiny is and I have a feeling it definitely ain’t no child.” Cam laughed to himself, “see what I did there?”

Sooner than later Simone made herself known, plate of food in her hand as she entered with Olivia Baker in tow. She waved at everyone as Simone came over to you to give you a large hug.

“Hey! When did you get in?”

“Hi!” You returned the hug, “I came in through the front? Keisha let me in.”

Simone nodded as everyone else in the room watched her, “oh the food’s here yall.”

“Yeah, thanks we have eyes.” Thea snapped, hopping up to cross over Damon who gave her a look of apology but Simone just fanned the girl off.

Olivia scrunched up her lips from beside JR, “seriously, what is her problem?”

“It’s a long story, don’t even pay it no mind.” JR mumbled to the doe-eyed girl, “is your costume kehlani?”

“Yes! specifically from the music video with pink sweat$. That songs been speaking to me a lot lately.” Olivia began to ramble to JR who of course politely listened.

You tuned back to Simone who was dressed up as Normani from her motivation video with her own personal tweaks, nonetheless was all smiles, “so…who are you?”

“I can’t get a plate first?”

Simone rolled her neck to one side, giving you a look as she halted her assault on the very orange Mac and cheese.

Sighing you reached for the tie and unravled the trench coat again, showing Simone what exactly was underneath.

“Bitch!” Simone squealed, “it’s giving lil kim! With the hair behind the ear, yes! It’s giving Lady marmalade! Ah!”

The exclamation got some heads to turn, focusing on your conversation. You didn’t notice Damon was making his way over to your conversation more than the one that was going down with his brother and one of the baker twins. From a distance, Damon still got a good look and felt his crown slipping by the way his jaw dropped.

“Does that even count as a costume? Or lingerie?” Damon slowly let out after JR reached over to help his baby bro close his mouth.

JR and Olivia both got a nice peek themselves but it was evident that Damon Sims couldn’t contain himself.

“Lingerie?” Cam quizzed from his blind spot, “what’d I miss?”

“Nothing.” Keisha cut in, entering the room to plop right down on Cam’s lap.

“Shit, you right.” Cam gazed into Keisha’s eyes who gave him a chaste kiss.

“Of course it counts as a costume, Damon.” Simone hissed, “it can be whatever the hell it wants to be, my bestie is a bad bitch.”

“Truly.” Olivia nodded, “you should definitely win the costume award tonight.”

JR frowned holding his hands out, “see, Simone ain’t say nothing about no awards.”

Simone grinned, “always have to keep everyone on their toes!”

“Okay but…how many awards we talking: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? Or just one single award?” JR asked while Simone continued smiling, zipping her lips and spun around to walk around Damon to plop down on the other sofa against the wall.

JR followed with Damon now approaching you. The man towered over you in his king ready for a wedding attire and you had to step back a bit to get a good look at his eyes. He smelled good just from his close proximity and it whipped even harder as he leaned towards your ear to say more.

“Can I talk to you in private?”

“Don’t you have to get approval from your queen first?” You jabbed as Damon’s dark eyes settled back on yours.

Damon said, “I’m looking at one queen right now and that’s the one I want to talk to.”

Taking a deep inhale, you led the way out of the living room with Nate watching you from the entry way of the living room as you went by. They said nothing, turning their head and sipping on their drink as the both of you retreated deeper into the house and away from everyone else.

Into a room the two of you went, with you plopping on the edge of a bed and Damon pinching at his facial hair, hoping to gather his thoughts as he shut the door behind him.

“What’re you doing?”

Staring off to the side you easily replied, “I dont know what you mean?”

“Why are you dressed like that?”

Raising your brows you asked, “huh? I don’t know what you’re about to turn this into but I’m not the one.”

Damon held out his hands, “no, i don’t mean it like that.” He took a deep breath, “why you gotta be here looking like that? All fine and shit and in front of everybody?”

You thought about this as you rested your hands behind you, knowing that your hips were spreading nicely from underneath the corset. Damon fought hard to keep his eyes focused on your face instead of the way you filled out this piece and you knew it.

“I’m sorry…was I only supposed to wear this for you?”

“Yes.” Damon hissed out.

You shook your head, “Damon, you have a girlfriend.”

“Not really,” Damon instantly said, “thea and I have been hanging out a lot. We worked out together a lot before her injury and now I’m mostly there for her PT and studying…that’s it.”

Pushing your lips out, you found that hard to believe. Your friendship—or relationship with Damon was confusing. It wasn’t really a secret that you were into Damon from the very beginning and he seemed to share that same sentiment until Thea came along.

“It seems like y’all go together, real bad.”

Damon gave you a dry stare, “I don’t know who said that—

“She did.”

“When?” Damon exasperated, “I don’t want to sound like a asshole but we never discussed that. She’s told me that she’s never had a boyfriend before and is clueless when it comes to relationships but I never said I was her man.”

Pulling out your phone with the receipts, you held up your phone to show the messages. Damon gripped your wrist, holding your hand steady before he took the phone from your hand and began to scroll. His eyes got bigger as he paced the floor.

“Yeah, no. She kissed me during a work out once but—

“Did you call it what it is when it happened?” You quizzed.

Damon thought about it, “no but—

Getting to your feet you took your phone back, “then she’s probably waiting on you to ask her to be your girlfriend since you’re the one who’s spending all of this time with her and not anyone else.”

Shoving your phone back into the side pocket you clasped your hands together, “now that that’s been clarified I’m gonna grab me a spooky plate.”

Damon followed each of your side steps making you cross your arms, “Damon! Would you move?!”

“Nah.” Damon shook his head, “I want you to know something first. I’m feeling you, only you and not Thea. Not romantically at least. I want us to be something…if you want to be something together. With me.” He started, stumbling his words with a gummy smile before continuing, “I also really want to kiss you, take you on dates, be a real cute ass athletic couple and be able to tell people officially that you’re mine. This is all easy for me to say because you make it easy for me to be honest with you.”

In the beginning you met Damon through JR who were friends for awhile; not even aware that they were blood. JR snuck up on you in the library where you were supposed to be studying but was playing sims instead:

“Oh, I know you got a some fire in you if you mess with the sims.” Damon commented as he watched as one of your characters got electrocuted while the other continued to dance in the background to some similish pop track unbothered, “pun ntended.”

“And who is this all up in my studying sesh,” You pointed, pulling your head closer to JR who was also hunched over your now half closed laptop.

The light skinned boy grinned holding out his hand which you eventually placed yours in his, “I’m Damon, Damon sims.”

You returned the smile, “I’m Bess. Bet not ever sneak up on me like that again mr. will smith reject, if you know what’s good for you.”

The threat was not short lived as Damon sent a confused look to his teammate who tried to ease his worries with a calm motion of his hands. That was the start of a peculiar relationship, your slight beef was only temporary…once Damon learned not to sneak up on you and have a nice conversation that didn’t slam your gameplay.

“I’ll let you kiss me,” you started and Damon almost tripped over his feet to get to you but you placed your hands against his chest halting him, “if you also share that same decency to Thea. Let that girl know, you’re only mine.”

Damon smirked peeking at your ombré lips, “say less. Can I do my thing now?”

“Only if you can keep up.” You whispered as he got closer to your lips.

Damon chuckled, “I know you’ve seen or at least heard how fast I throw my—throw?” He corrected himself from finishing that sentence that would most likely sound inappropriate.

“And I know you’ve seen or heard how fast I run. Fastest on my team,” you challenged.

Damon licked his bottom lip, “yeah…you’re not gonna run from me are you?”

“Depends if you keep wasting my time.”

And he finally placed his lips on yours. His scent engulfed you just as much as he pulled the air from your lips. His grip was firm against the sides of neck and he used just that to pull your frame tight against his. A groan escaped his own lips as you fought for dominance, nipping and slowly backing up until you fell back against the bed.

He toppled on top of you, a breathless laugh escaping your lips until he placed his lips right back on yours.

If all it took was to you to show up in a lil Kim costume to get Damon to admit that he was also into you, you would have done it the moment you realized it was him that you wanted.

Note

what's ur favorite aspect of xanvid, acevid, xanace(? if that's their ship name), and the three of them together?

(Warning: TW For discussion of EDs, as well as the fact this is at least a little self-indulgent)

This is such a fun question heh heh heh! I’m gonna have a lot of fun with this one. (Thanks for asking me, by the way).

…

Xanvid:

I know this isn’t too deep or anything, but making ‘Xander is a huge simp for David’ jokes is one of my favorite pastimes while writing these two. I think it’s very funny.

I’ll be completely honest, at first I only shipped Xanvid because I knew most of the fandom did. Mostly because I somehow forgot this scene happened:

And that scene is the one that probably adds the most substance to their relationship, so forgetting about it took away what is probably one of the most important aspects. That being that Xander actually tries to treat David like a person, not a product or a celebrity.

I think Xander and David would probably be good at hyping each other up when they’re down, or providing each other comfort when they’re sad. Seeing as Xander has experience with grief I don’t think he’d push too hard for David to be happy all the time, which is pretty vital.

Acevid:

The more silly aspect I like is the banter. Ace is always great for fun banter because he never shuts up and doesn’t hesitate to state his opinions, at least most of the time. So most characters can have an entertaining back-and-forth with him.

But post-personality-reveal David in particular is fun for me to write, since he acts like such a smug little bastard. His above-average way with words can pretty much make Ace do what ever he wants (or at least in the beginning, when Ace can’t detect his trickery), and usually what he wants is to fluster Ace as much as possible.

But I guess a more serious one would be why I started shipping them in the first place. Both David and Ace’s careers have merged with the rest of their life in one way or another, and in very unpleasant ways. Both are the only two to show distain for their talents in some capacity, (excluding Teruko and sort of Rose, who doesn’t exactly hate her talent as much as she hates that she got caught and is in debt).

Whit says he didn’t share David’s secret because he doesn’t want to ruin David’s career, and when he phrases it like that it seems stupid, but considering the fact David basically built a whole new personality he’s been crafting for years and is the only thing he lets people see, you slowly realize that ruining his career essentially destroys his life. His image has been his primary concern for so long and now it’s forever tarnished. Which does make his sudden move to get everyone killed make a bit more sense, since perhaps David believes his life is essentially over anyway. Without his image and by extension his career, what is he left with?

And something similar could be said for Ace. Being a jockey is dangerous enough as it is, but with the brittle bones that come with an eating disorder like anorexia (which is what I assume Ace has, though I may be wrong), this risk of injury or even death only increases. In fact the mortality rate of anorexia alone is higher than most mental illnesses. So it’s fair to say that despite his fear of death and things that could hurt him in general, Ace is putting himself in a lot of danger to preserve his career as a jockey. His constant trips to the gym seem to indicate his works out a lot to maintain his weight as well. Despite the fact he hates horse-riding, he is risking his life to keep competing. And since he just got outed for having an eating disorder by Veronika, presumably on (inter?)national television, I’d say there’s a very high chance that he won’t be allowed to race again. So not only has his career been thrown away, but what he has dedicated his life to.

This rant is all to say I think that they could relate to each other in this way, and thus understand what the other is going through. They could help each other figure out where to go from here, and that kind of thing.

(This one ended up being really long, whoops…)

Xanace:

I’ve never written anything of just the two of them before, but I still like them as a pairing. Probably because rivals to lovers is one of my favorite things ever (Hence my love of Teruvid).

My favorite silly aspect is probably that the height difference is very funny to me. Xander’s 6’0 and Ace is 5’5 and I can just imagine them doing this thing:

Where the taller person easily holds back the shorter one, who is trying and failing to attack them (Hope you like my stick figure art haha).

Honestly part of the reason why I’ve never written something with just them is because I’m still trying to figure out why they work together. Xander doesn’t have much patience for Ace’s antics, so having them get along would most likely require Ace to tone it down long enough for them to have a heartfelt moment.

I think once they managed to have a bit of an understanding of each other, however, it’d be fun to see Ace of all people have to talk Xander out of getting in fights. Ace may threaten to fight people, but he won’t. Xander, however, has no qualms about being in a fight if he thinks it necessary. And seeing Ace, who has the habit of saying ‘you wanna fight!?’ to people he barely knows, having to stop him would be funny. Because even if Ace won’t admit it he cares about Xander’s well-being and in a fight he’s bound to get hurt.

Xanacevid:

Hmm…I guess I just feel like they kinda balance each other out, y’know? Xander and Ace’s more hotheaded and reckless tendencies can be balanced out by David’s more generally calm demeanor. Ace and David’s pessimism can be balanced out by Xander’s more cheery yet realistic outlook. David and Xander’s lovey-dovey approach is balanced out by Ace being a grumpy tsundere. I’m not great at putting it into words, they just kinda work. To me, at least.

…

Yaaaay I finished! Sorry this took me so long, I had trouble putting into words exactly what I liked about these ships. But thanks for asking I really love talking about stuff like this!!! <3

HELLUVA BOSS: S2E4 REVIEW

Ganna be honest, this episode wasn’t AS bad as I thought it would be, like I’m lowkey shocked. It’s certainly not the worst out of what we’ve seen, and it didn’t piss be off to high heaven, especially since the runtime is short and Blitz and Stolas are away from one another here, but….it still wasn’t….good, so let’s get into it.

So everyone already knows this episode was….so fast paced. Andrealphus doesn’t even get a proper introduction, and like I said before, in the span of one fucking minute, we have Stolas and Stella petty banter, Andrealphus, and Striker coming back to kidnap him. For starters, Yayy….glad to see Stolas and Stella acting like petty middle schoolers towards eachother. I was right when I said that the writers can’t figure out what they want their dynamic to be. Like….this is supposed to be the same couple that’s in an abusive serious situation, and it kinda doesn’t make me take them seriously if they’re just swearing at each other and bickering Viv. Also, glad to know the writers are outright saying “cheating is okay”- simply because Stella never liked him, so again….way to take the flaws Stolas had in season 1 and completely erase them and excuse them, just because you want Stolas to be in the right. It’s so distracting how fucking retconned they are, they might as well just have said “Stolas did nothing wrong” in Loo Loo Land if these were the writer’s true colors all along, but since Viv wrote this episode, I’m not surprised.

They hyped Andrealphus up but he gets like….two scenes and doesn’t do much like…lmao. In The Circus, again…they try to make it clear that divorce in the Goetia family is uwu serious, and Stella mentions Andrealphus, implying that he would be upset, or is a threat. When we actually meet him tho, he isn’t even….upset about the divorce? Why did Stella mention him then? What was the point of foreshadowing him and having Stolas say he doesn’t care what he thinks if Andrealphus was just going to be all like “oh you’re getting divorced? Okay, give us money then”- like it’s so fucking underwhelming but we’ll get back to him and Stella later. Also we see that Stolas has a scheduled meeting with Ozzie, implying that he may be trying to get that crystal after all. But…can this show just fucking….stop teasing us with future shit and just do it already? I’m so tired of the show dangling plot threads to come later in our face but they either NEVER come or the execution is underwhelming.

Blitz continues to be the most annoying and unfunny character in the entire show. His jokes and dialogue are a fucking pain to sit through and the scene where he’s trying to announce his appointment and fights with the lady in the waiting room drags and is unneeded. In fact, this whole side plot was unneeded. Viv doesn’t know how to fucking balance this show, she wants episodes to be serious and story driven but have a slice of life filler side plot at the same time and guess what? It doesn’t work or blend well. The constant cut aways are distracting from the main plot and you could have used this premise for a different episode. Loona doesn’t even have any dialogue, you could have at least improved the relationship between her and Blitz or had a moment of her being thankful that he was here and comforting her, appreciating him more….ya know….character development……..something that would have made this side plot actually useful since this is supposed to be a fucking “character driven” show about the relationships between the characters, but no. This side plot existed to pat out the run time and give Blitz and Loona something to do so they’re not just sitting there. As usual Loona does nothing, is useless and only there for the furry porn. The shot of her butt with the needle was 100% on purpose, I can tell.

(Also we’re on season 2 and only now finally get to see an upfront interaction of Imps being treated as the lower class, but it doesn’t do anything. This show tells us instead of showing us, they constantly remind you that imps are at the bottom but Blitz still literally has a good job that pays well and aside from the wrath imps providing food too feed hell, there’s no exploration of how imps having it lower than any other demon species. If anything it seems like Imps and the rest of the Hellborn species are all on the same ranking because Viv can’t storytell.) Also what is with the bleeping? I really don’t get it, it’s not funny and it’s distracting, making scenes awkward.

Predicted it, but Moxxie and Millie were…unneeded in this episode and were only included to fight Striker. These two really are useless when they’re not the focus and you can tell Viv has no idea what to do with them when they’re not. Also…..Viv…..Viv……is Moxxie strong, or not? Make up your fucking mind. In this episode he’s able to get the upper hand against a bigger imp, make him bleed and tie him to the car without an issue, and yet he’s been characterized as weak and not the muscle of the group. Is he strong or not? YAYY MORE CHARACTER INCONSISTENCIES! And glad to know Millie did nothing….as usual. Besides fight.

So Stolas has officially become Angel Dust, and Moxxie is slowly turning into Blitz so that’s great. It’s amazing how there’s barley a difference between the Stolas and Angel tho, he’s just Angel Dust. And Chaz. And Blitz. And every other fucking gay male character Viv writes. The constant cursing, the quick sassy witty banter, the sex jokes of him being tied up, you can tell Viv wrote this with those “harder” jokes between Moxxie and Stolas like…wow, it’s amazing how her gay characters have recycled personalities, aka the Sassy gay twink. Anyway, to me, Stolas before was horny and rabid don’t get me wrong, but something about the way he is in this episode just irks me more. I get that he hates Stella and Striker, but now he just seems like a petty sassy royal bird who acts like a child 24/7…..and it’s unfunny…..and annoying. All these characters are written like fucking children I can’t.

Apparently Striker has a reputation, is wanted around Hell and is well known for being an assassin now??? I thought he was just some Imp who was hired to kill someone? Lmao yet another retcon because if this was the case before, you’d think IMP would have heard of him in Harvest Moon. What’s also retconned is Striker saying he was asked to give Stolas the “full royal treatment”, to torture him I guess but….no? He was hired to shoot Stolas with an angelic gun. Why didn’t he just fucking shoot him. Speaking of that, where is the fucking angelic gun? The IMP gang had it last, and now they don’t have it. Also I already pointed this out but…Stolas can’t recognize Striker despite meeting him in episode 5 upfront. Let’s actually talk about Striker tho. He wasn’t perfect but he certainly was the best part of the episode. I actually applaud Bosco for his voice acting, and the scene with him snapping at the band to leave him alone was the only joke that made me laugh. I didn’t care about Striker that much before but this episode honestly made me did now, ignoring the fact that he’s characterized as egotistical. Problem is tho, like the rest of the antagonists, Stikers kinda just a tool. So he….may or may not be dead, I legit have no idea. If he is dead however….boy oh boy, that would piss me off, because IF he IS dead……then way to go guys, you killed off the only interesting and cool character. 🫠

I expected it, but it’s amazing how everything beforehand regarding him was for nothing if he does turn out dead. The tension he had between him and Moxxie? Would be gone. The fact that he appeared in Blitz’s hallucination, being someone who was similar to Blitz but they used their skills differently yet were the same regarding being mistreated by the upper class? Would be gone. Striker wanting to rebel against the higher class? Gone. Blitz doesn’t even get to interact with him before he dies, for a character that clearly had an impact on him. I was going to applaud this episode for actually being consistent and keeping Striker the same person who despises the upper class for what they do to the lower class, they even imply that he had someone he cares about taken away, but it’s all fucking gone if they KILLED HIM OFF. It all would go nowhere in the end and it pisses me off now because you HAD an interesting character, a villain who contrasted the main character, who had a point and could be humanized, and who rightfully calls out Stolas and his people being the scum of the earth, and now he might be dead because once again, Vivzie is an impatient writer who pushes the story forward too fast before we can even get to know these important characters, and also doesn’t want Stolas to be in a position where he’s in the wrong. Bro was literally eating at a rich place where imps serve you, treats his butler like a stress toy, talks down to Blitz and other imps…he’s not innocent Viv.

(It’s also obvious but this episode suffers from pacing issues, the constant cut aways, and scenes moving by so fast we can’t digest any of it. The FIGHT scene tho? Good god that was a mess, it’s literally faster than Millie’s fight scene from last episode, and the annoying songs playing as we kept cutting to Blitz at the appointment REALLY doesn’t help. I really feel like this studio can’t handle fight scenes….at all, or knows how they work. The video literally gets fucking blurry at one point like what the FUCK LMAO…..either hire someone who knows how to animate action scenes or don’t do action scenes at all.)

I knew Stella was still going to be one note, so I wasn’t surprised, but honestly what did piss me off is how stupid they make her. She was inconsistent before but now she’s just an idiot, because apparently she needed to be TOLD that once Stolas dies, everything goes to Octavia. Like are you kidding me? She’s so dumb that she needed to be told that?? She doesn’t even respond when Andre mentions Via, lmao her whole character really is “me hate Stolas and me want him dead” and nothing else. I’ll give the episode this, even though we barley got to see Andre, he wasn’t insufferable like I thought he would be, in fact, he’s more tolerable than Stella and Stolas combined since he’s the one who’s annoyed at their bickering and calls Stella out for being dumb, but that’s not a writing flex. Andre clearly seems to be the smart mastermind leading Stella now, I have no idea wether if they’ll later make her sympathetic and paint Andre out to be the baddie leading her, or not, it would be bad writing either way tho. Speaking of that….the way Andre treats Stella is off, and I don’t mean in the way that he could be evil. Like other critic blogs have been saying, he calls her attractive, a minx, and a vixen, all words you….wouldn’t really call your sister. It’s really gross and I’m starting to think the information we’ve been given of these two secretly screwing might be true. Like…if we’re doing straight up incest, I’m ganna hurl.

Andre also is all like “if we keep him alive, we’ll have more opportunities, let’s wait till we can get the upper hand”- and I’m…..what? You HAD the upper hand, that’s number one, and number two, this dialogue is VERY vague and makes me feel like Viv had no idea what exactly Andre’s end goal is here, so she used this dialogue as an excuse to figure it out later since she doesn’t plan shit ahead. Because what is Andre’s end goal? It’s confusing. Stella wants him dead, but then they’re talking about money and possessions. Andre seems to want to help Stella have Stolas’s estate, but she just wanted him dead because she hates him. Now you’re telling me she wants his estate too? YAY MORE RETCONS AND CONFUSING PLOT HOLES. Guess we’ll have to wait for Viv to figure out their motivations later lol.

Yada yada another retcon, Blitz cares for Uwu Stolas and is a dumbass for acting like he never knew Stolas could get hurt despite having a fucking angelic weapon on him and learning royals could be in danger in the last season, moving on-

So we’re finally at the end, the most important scene, the text scene. For starters, just like the other critic blogs have been saying……Ozzie’s finally……FINALLY gets brought up again and acknowledged, and it’s over a fucking blink and you’ll miss it half- assed text message. Like….WOW Viv, way to scrape the bottom of the barrel and confront this in the most underwhelming way possible. Would have been actually impactful and better if we saw this go down on fucking screen and have Blitz and Stolas address this in person, but nah let’s just have it happen off screen because storytelling and Viv? They don’t know each other!

But putting that aside, I want to talk about two important problems I had with this scene, because nobody is talking about how these messages make no goddamn sense. So if you actually read the messages between Blitz and Stolas, I hate how Stolas is characterized here, and I don’t mean how he’s suddenly acting like he always cared about Blitz because that’s been a problem since Ozzie’s, I’m talking about how oblivious and emotionally clingy he is. Like…seriously these text messages are a fucking mess. He suddenly acts clueless to how Blitz feels, wondering if he was upset or not, as if Blitz didn’t fucking tell him exactly why afterwards. Fuck you mean by “you just took off?”- I’m sorry Viv, did you forget the scene where Blitz drove Stolas home that night and called him out on his bullshit, saying all he did was treat him like a plaything? Because yeah, Ozzie’s may have finally been fucking mentioned in this show, but now it’s retconned AGAIN because apparently Stolas is a dumbass and can’t remember why Blitz was mad at him in the first place when he had spelled it out loud and clear. Stolas’s text messages make it out to be like they left the restaurant after Ozzie’s taunting and the scene with them at Stolas’s house never happened. Then Stolas is saying shit like “okay well phew glad you’re not upset then Ozzie is a kidder lol I didn’t mind the jabs he makes at me”- I…..WHAT??? What the fuck is going on? Why is Stolas written differently here? Why is the events of Ozzie’s written differently now? Stolas was literally embarrassed by Ozzie calling him out and hid in his menu, much to Blitz’s dismay. They then leave, Stolas can obviously tell Blitz is upset, and when he tries to reach to him gently, Blitz shuts him out, causing Stolas to cry alone. This episode is apparently now acting like their quarrel never happened because the dialogue is written as if they’re referring to Ozzie’s torment, not Blitz calling him out. This legit pisses me off because the show is once again telling us what we saw didn’t happen and rewriting it to fool us. Making Stolas out to be some vulnerable softie who cares about Blitz’s well being too—

And finally, Viv does what she does best by wanting to make you ship Blitz and Stolas together SO badly, but accidentally contradict herself by showing even MORE proof on why these two aren’t good for each other. Putting all the retconning aside, in this case it’s that…surprise surprise, Blitz is constantly miserable and unhappy around Stolas, or whenever they interact. And it’s not even that Blitz can’t communicate, or sucks at emotions, he just doesn’t fucking LIKE Stolas, and I don’t understand how many times the show is going pin that nail on the head until something actually happens, because this scene would have been more impactful if we weren’t already HERE before. Remember The Circus Viv? Stolas going through his Instagram and noticing Blitz was miserable all the time, and reflecting on how their relationship was a figment of his imagination? This scene is the same, it’s just done through text messages now. Why are we doing this again. And I don’t get what Viv’s end goal is here. Is she trying to make Stolas realize that Blitz never gave a shit about him (because we’re on season two and this bird brain can’t take a hint) or is she trying to make Stolas go “I thought he didn’t care but omg he texted me “get well soon” he DOES love me!” Yeah…probably the last option. This ship sucks. If anything…..why can’t Blitz and Stolas just be fucking friends? You wanna say they care about each other? Fine. But romantically, it just doesn’t work. They aren’t good for each other, and function better as friends, but GOD forbid, we can’t have that because they do the dirty in bed SO IT CAN’T BE PLATONIC, it must be romantic! I was literally right, this ship gets worse and worse every passing episode and Viv wants you to ship it so hard despite the fact that she STILL hasn’t given me ONE good reason why they should be a couple. End of story.

So that pretty much it. This episode was nowhere near has bad as the previous three, it’s the most tolerable, but still heavily flawed in the writing department. The dialogue still lacks nuance and sounds like an edgy 12 year old wrote it, the world is still empty, pacing was off, the animation was off too at times, the constant sex jokes during serious scenes are distracting and take away from what’s going on, the side plot didn’t need to happen, there’s also SCENES that didn’t need to happen, there are multiple retcons and empty plot holes/threads, and Viv once again can’t write a complex serious gay couple. She just doesn’t have the writing chops for it, especially since she keeps rewriting aspects and flip flopping between who is the worse lover and who isn’t. I’ll talk more about this episode later, you know how I rant a lot lol. Tomorrow I’ll be finally answering inbox questions too! If you managed to read my endless rant essay, I thank you! See you soon!

Optimal Road Trip

Characters: Jay Halstead x Hailey Upton x Halstead!Sister Summary: Halstead!Sister gets math homework and decides it needs to become a reality.

Square Filled: Road Trip for @resanoona 3K Fiesta Bingo (I hope this counts since it’s talking about planning a road trip)

Working overtime was standard when it came to tough cases, but the idea of getting to go home and have a rare day off for 3 days was always the best reward. However for Jay and Hailey, when they walked through their front door of their shared apartment, expecting to be able to fall into bed and pass out, instead they were greeted with a very hyper 17yr old Y/N.

“Oh good! Your home! Guess what I got assigned to do for math homework!” exclaimed Y/N as she came barreling into the front hallway.

“Well hello to you too Y/N” chuckled Jay while kicking off his shoes.

You stopped bouncing and looked very serious, “Jayyyyy, guess.”

Sighing, Jay replied, “I don't know, you got assigned to go to bed?” He wasn’t in the mood for your hyperness at 6:30pm on a Friday, when he had been up and at the station or other crime scenes at 4am most days this week.

Rolling your eyes, you replied, “In math this week we have been learning about graph theory! So our teacher Ms. Hunnicutt assigned us a project where we pick 5 cities, not including Chicago, and we have to find the most optimal route for a road trip! Isn’t that fun!”

Smiling to himself, Jay replied, “so much fun kiddo”

The couple and the youngest Halstead at this point had migrated to the couch in the living room.

Once everyone was sat down comfortably, Y/N swiped her notebook from the coffee table and started opening it to a page, “My teacher was talking about how when she was in high school, she was assigned this project and her parents had actually taken her on the road trip she created, ya know to test out the theory.” she began. “So I was thinking maybe if you guys could get the time off, we could do that?” she added while finally flipping to the page she was looking for.

Glancing at Hailey and glancing back at his sister, Jay sighed and spoke, “It depends on where you want to go. I’m not making any promises but I will hear you out on your city choices.”

And with that, Y/N smiled and began listing off her cities, “Okay, so we have Chicago - which doesn’t count - then we have New York City, any city in Puerto Rico - I need help in that realm of things - Portland Oregon, Appleton Wisconsin, and Houston Texas!” Once she listed off the cities, she looked up at her brother and sister in law and waited for them to say something…anything… but she was not prepared for what her brother did.

Jay just started laughing.

Furrowing her brows, Y/N asked, “What’s wrong with the cities I chose? New York would be so we could go see Aunt Erin. Puerto Rico would be so we can visit Uncle Antonio and Aunt Gabby, Portland was so we could see Uncle Casey, Houston was so we could see Uncle Rixton, and Appleton was so we could see Aunt Vanessa! I chose places I knew you guys would enjoy going to!”

With Jay continuously laughing, Hailey spoke up, “Y/N, those are good options if you didn’t want to go on a real road trip, but we can’t go to most of those places in a real road trip”

“Why not?” whispered Y/N, clearly not as hyped as she was at the beginning of the conversation.

Jay finally composed himself enough to side hug his sister and calmly respond, “Hailey is right kiddo. We a. Can’t possibly make it to Puerto Rico anytime soon. And both Uncle Rixton and Aunt Vanessa are deep undercover, so technically we can’t really even get in contact with them or even know where they are located at the moment.”

Your lip started to quiver as you began to tear the page out of your notebook, but before you got very far Jay stopped you.

“But let’s all sit here together and come up with some cities we can visit. I liked your idea of visiting Aunt Erin and Uncle Casey.”

So for the next 45 minutes you, Jay, and Hailey all spitball cities and people you could visit in this fictional but real road trip.

“So our final round of cities are as follows, 1. Chicago - which we said doesn’t count in the 5. 2. New York City - to see Aunt Erin, 3. Portland - to see Uncle Casey, 4. Milwaukee - to visit the Halstead family cabin, 5. Wilmington - to visit the locations of my favorite show Dawson’s Creek, and 6. Malibu - to visit the location of Jay’s favorite show MASH” recited Y/N.

Smiling, Hailey spoke, “I think those are some very nice cities and very feasible places we can visit. Jay and I will request PTO on Monday when we go in.”

Stretching his back and yawning, Jay adds, “Agreed, now if you don’t need us anymore. I think Hailey and I have a date with our pillows. Please don’t need us until at least 11 am tomorrow” and with that Hailey and Jay hugged Y/N and headed for their bedroom.
