The Mailman

Ah yes, the mailman. The new resident in the apartment, the complete opposite of milkman, aka Francis Mosses. How does Francis feel about the new person in the apartment? Will he hate him or not? Continue reading to find out!

;Male Reader

(P.s English is not my first language, feel free to correct my mistakes!This is also written from Francis’ pov)

ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★ ᯓ★

I didn’t exactly know how to feel about the new resident of the apartment, however I did know his name. M/n L/n was it? Yes, I thinks so. He was..energetic to say the least, quite the surprise considering the current situation about doppelgängers. The other residents didn’t seem to mind his personality, in fact they all seem to like him a lot..If I had to be honest I envy him.

I mean who wouldn’t? He’s nice,energetic,approachable,and pretty charming. Not to mention he seems to enjoy his job as a mailman, while I’m stuck here being the boring milkman. Nobody really approaches me, saying I look intimidating and not much of a social guy..rude but technically yeah, I could care less about socializing and I only want to finish my job for the day so that I could go home, I never really had much of an interest for romance or socializing with other people. But he seems to be the complete opposite, whenever we was by each other he would always flash me a smile and greet me. I never really say hi back but he doesn’t seem to mind that at all. And whenever he delivers a message or package he would always make small talks with the person, whether it be how their day was or how the weather looks nice. Sometimes I wonder how someone can be so sociable with others.

One time he started talking to me ranting something about space and how he likes stars, he wouldn’t stop ranting. And so I told him to stop talking and left..the next day I was doing my usual job as a milkman, delivering milk to people who ordered when I saw him going house to house delivering a mail or a package. And when we went pass each other, I expected him to ignore me considering I rudely left him on the street yesterday. But he greeted me morning as usual..he’s such a strange and unpredictable man.

Few weeks later..

“Hm..” I hummed as I press the doorbell of the house, I put the bottle of milk down and continued walking to the next house. I could already hear the person talk about how much of a loner I am, just like the other houses..ugh I just want this deliveries to get done fast so I can go home and lay down on my bed..Ah there he is again with his upbeat personality, as usual. How can someone talk so much, if I ever tried that I would be tired before I can even manage to say a paragraph. What if I try to greet him back this time, would be nice if I change my pace a bit, right?

“Morning Mr. Mosses, nice to see you again once more!” He greeted, tipping his hat down as he flash me a smile.

“Morning to you too, L/n.” I greeted walking past him, I could tell he stopped walking for a few seconds because I didn’t hear his footsteps, I walked pass him so many times to the point I could distinguish his footsteps from others..would that be weird for others? I looked back to see that he wasn’t walking anymore, rather skipping like a happy person..cute..

Timeskip

Ugh finally, this day is finally over. I could go back home and rest..once the metal door opened I went inside and gave the doorman my ID and blah blah blah, the usual routine. After checking that I was the actual person, they finally opened the door to let me in the apartment. I walked up the stairs to the third floor which was tiring to say the least, and went to get my keys in my pocket. Once I got it I led the key to the knob but noticed something, the door that led to M/n’s room wasn’t lit up as usual. Usually he opens the lights after he’s back from his job, perhaps he’s later than usual? I sighed, it’s probably nothing I’m probably-

“Oh Mr. Mosses!” He greeted, I turned my head to see him standing beside me except..he doesn’t have his hat on, is this the first time I’ve seen him without it? “Looks like you got here first!”

“What do you mean?” I asked him, a bit confused

“Oh it’s nothing..” he said quickly “and uh-here!” He handed me a letter but it’s not showing the front, hold on a letter for me?

“Oh thank-“ before I could even thank him, he was already closing the door, he seems to be in a hurry. I checked the letter to see who it was from and saw that there was a heart, a love letter? But from who.. “From M/n L/n; to Francis Mosses..” I muttered.

Maybe he’s not as bad as I thought..

Oh yeah, time for a big rant about Hazbin Hotel!!!

I haven’t really had much of a chance to sit down and write about this since I watched the episodes, so things I say are probably going to reflect what others have said. I’m just writing this to gush about the things I love about some particular songs in HH.

I didn’t have any big expectations going into the first episode, because I’d mostly heard negative reviews of the show so far. I had heard that the songs, however, were bright spots, so I really looked out for the songs and listened in every time we were graced with one. The characters are truly the best versions of themselves whenever there’s a song going on, even if they aren’t the main focus of the song. It’s amazing to see, especially since my favorite thing about this show is the characters themselves.

My favorites are “Loser, Baby” & “Stayed Gone” and will probably be the main focus of this post because <3333

“Stayed Gone” is sung by Christian Borle (Vox) and Amir Talai (Alastor) and I could not be happier about it. Their voices are amazing here, and my favorite bits of this song are on repeat in my head.

I also love little visuals like the mug Vox has in the talk show format, the scrolling text in the news show format, or Vox’s error message toward the end of their bantering.

(The scrolling text says: “I’m totally not worried about this guy and neither should you be. I totally wrecked his sh*t last time he tried me.”)

Alastor really gets under Vox’s skin and it makes me kick my feet every time. Their dynamic truly is everything, and I’m so excited we got this song that showcases it perfectly.

He clearly enjoys it too, what a little jerk.

Speaking of these two, Vox definitely had/has a thing for Al at some point, right? I mean…inviting him to the Vees for a start. Not to mention just the v i b e s. Poor guy though, it’s definitely one-sided.

I love Al’s use of…modern…lingo. Truly a spectacle. That on top of it being a reveal of Al’s rejection to Vox’s offer 💀 I love this man <333

Last thing about this song, promise, but also I love the casual little lore drops and more pieces to the puzzle of the past that we get. Very exciting! Can’t wait to see how everything fits together once we find more pieces.

Okay okay, moving on. “Loser, Baby” is amazing musically as well as visually.

First things first, I LOVE JAZZ OMG AND IT FITS HUSK’S VIBE AND EVERYTHING SO PERFECTLY???

Keith David’s voice definitely fits Husk in my eyes now, I see it, it works. He’s amazing. Does a fantastic job.

Not to mention Blake Roman’s performance was, of course, incredible as well.

The big, upbeat, brassy sound in this song is amazing and I’m loving the trumpet in it especially (any fellow trumpet players? no?)

I love everything about this song. The visuals, voices, instrumentals, lyrics, message, all of it!

Husk slowly going from “yeah you kinda suck lmao, but so do I” in order to not make Angel feel like he’s not being genuine, to sneaking in a better message of “we’re not perfect but it’s okay, don’t be so hard on yourself” (and getting Angel to believe/go along with it too!!) is amazing. It’s a perfect example of these characters being the best versions of themselves during musical numbers.

This song is what solidified Husk as number 2 in my rankings (and I’m sure I’m not the only one). I mean…just look at the way he moves, it’s so silly.

(We’re going to ignore the Videoshop watermarks, okay?)

Overall, I’m loving this show so far despite some obvious issues with pacing n such and an overall rocky start. Especially loving the songs, which I think kinda make the show rn.

If anyone wants to add anything (because I definitely didn’t cover a whole lot, just surface level stuff because even this took a while to type out) then please feel free to! Also ask me any questions you’ve got for me concerning stuff that has/will happen(ed) in Hazbin Hotel. I love HH discourse!

Thanks to those of you who read all the way through, sorry for such a long post lol <3

Hi everyone ! This is only like my second time writing so bear with me.. I don’t see much Usopp appreciation on here so I figured I’d just write about him. Enjoy ! (๑>◡<๑)

Requests, Reblongs and Likes are appreciated <3

——————————————————————————

EAVESDROPPER

OPLA!Usopp x Artist!Reader

summary: As you vent to Nami about your feelings of Usopp, the devil himself intrudes in overhearing everything you’ve just talked about.

Takes place whenever they still had the Going Merry? (I’m only on ep98 ok.)

Warnings: Nothing really, Slight angst to fluff, sfw, not proofread, also ik Kaya ain’t like this I love her just gotta do it for the story babes

——————————————————————————

“I just don’t know what else to do Nami.” You sighed to her, you were both sitting in the kitchen drinking whatever new cocktail Sanji had made up for the both of you. “I don’t think he likes me that way, I mean I’m pretty sure he’s hooked on Kaya the way they kissed before he joined us.” You said, mentally cringing at the memory.

“Come on y/n! That was like what, a year ago? I’m pretty sure they don’t even talk.” Nami exclaimed as she rubbed your arm as a way of letting you know she was there for you. You know they still talk though, you’ve seen him hunched over his desk (if he has one in his room..?), writing letters to her. Your heart broke even more seeing the excited look on his face when he got a letter back from her.

You and Usopp were fairly close, spending the day together from sunrise to sunset daily. You’d give feedback on his newest creations and he’d give advice on your fighting skills, or your drawings you’d draw of the new islands you visited or just your crew. You’d never admit it but your sketchbook was mostly full of him, some he knew about and happily posed for while other ones you’d do in your free time as everyone was chilling together on the Going Merry. Shortly after he joined the crew you noticed your development in feelings for him and tried to ignore them, but ultimately gave in.

“Y/N!” Nami exclaimed, realizing you had zoned out while you two were talking. “God, you’re actually day-dreaming of him?” She shivered dramatically while you rolled your eyes at her. Nami looked at you and sighed as you laid your head against her shoulder, finishing your drink. “I just- I like him so much Nami and I don’t want to ruin our friendship by telling him while he’s got his eyes on another woman.. I’ve been somewhat distancing myself from him to try to loose those feelings but it’s just making me abt him more.” You sniffled, feeling your emotions getting the best of you.

“Oh y/n..” Nami gasped slightly, taking you into her arms as you felt tears invading your lashline. “Look, if he doesn’t realize how stupid he is to have you it’s his loss! I’m sure he-“ Nami ranted before getting cut off by a familiar someone falling face first through the kitchen door. You gasped as you saw Usopp groan as he got up. “Uh.. hi?” He chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Did you.. hear everything?” You asked, standing up now from your seat. “I- maybe? But it’s okay! I actually, wait y/n!” Usopp yelled after you as you speed walked out of the kitchen, running towards you and Nami’s shared room past everybody else as quickly as you could. Your heart was beating fast as you locked the door behind you, sliding down it as you finally let everything out.

“You idiot!” Nami yelled at Usopp, hitting behind his head as he groaned rubbing it.

——————————————————————————

It was now hours later, you were curled up in your bed refusing to come out of your room no matter who knocked or begged for you to come out. It was now a bit past dinner time, you sighed and sat up on your bed. You then got up and decided you could go up to the deck for some fresh air as everyone would be retreating to their rooms for the night. You quickly walked up the stairs and leaned against the railing, letting out a big sigh.

“y/n?” You heard a familiar voice ask, growing the ache in your heart bigger. It was Usopp, you didn’t say anything or move but he did. He stood beside you leaning on the rail aswell, glancing at you awkwardly.

“I- god I don’t know how to do this stuff.. y/n I-“ Usopp stuttered out before you cut him off. “It’s okay, Usopp. I know you and Kaya love each other. Please don’t let what you heard in the kitchen ruin our friendship. I just-“ you sighed out before it was Usopp turn to cut you off with a kiss, your eyes wide with shock before closing them and melting into the kiss. You wrapped your arms around his neck and he wrapped his around your waist, pulling you closer before pulling away for a breather.

“y/n, I love you. Kaya and me aren’t a thing, it was just one kiss honestly. We tried to make it work with writing letter back and forth but one day she told me she fell in love with another kid from our village, and I was okay with that honestly. Because I want you. You make me feel so nervous and happy and- just everything. I like you so much y/n, I want you as my girlfriend, not her. I’m not very good at this yet but I promise I’ll try for you and protect you, as the great captain Usopp!” He told you, smiling.

You looked back at him in shock, processing everything before giving him another quick peck on the lips.

“Of course, God Usopp.”

——————————————————————————

Thank you so much for reading! Also sorry it’s kinda short.. please give me any advice and I’m looking for mutuals, so please ask if you’d like to be! I’ll also take any requests.

╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Your fic "a good dog" lives rent free in my brain and I'm so glad bc the characterization and the introspection and LAIOS SERVICING CHILCHUCK just make me go feral, can't wait to read what comes next ❤️

(and the noises I made while reading "fervent, writhing" could only be heard by shrimps).

PS: Y'all at the chilaios council are tempting me so hard to create a Chilaios sideblog bc all your brains are so HUGE

OK FIRST OF ALL sorry for hanging onto this ask for so long, I have been cradling it in my hands like a good luck charm while I write ❤️ I appreciate you so much. ALSO "noises that could only be heard by shrimps" is part of my lexicon now lmao.

I've been trying to get a good dog arranged into some sort of satisfying narrative -- I don't know how obvious it is, but even when I was writing more regularly, I still mostly only ever wrote drabble type things that are unconnected. Writing an actual story is my bane in life, but I've been very inspired to try because of all of you.

Here is a good dog snippet I'm particularly proud of!! It's a flashback!!!

“If I can ask…” Laios held up a finger, like a kid raising their hand. Chil raised a brow, and he and Falin watched curiously to see what would come next.

“…why did I upset you?”

Chilchuck sighed and ran his hand through his hair, messing it up further. He resisted the urge to grab it and tug. This guy really needed that said?

“Okay, but I want you to think for a minute, first. Have you ever seen a party lead by a half-foot, Laios? Have you ever even heard of one?”

Laios looked at the ceiling, hmm-ing. “…I guess not?”

“Right. That’s because the things a party leader needs, half-foots don’t have. That’s what people think. Long-legs think anyone who can’t fight can’t be in charge.” He shrugged. “They don’t say it, but it’s like that.”

Laios frowned and started to open his mouth. Chil waved his hand to cut him off. “The way people perceive you is everything in an adventurer’s party. ‘S just how it is.”

The siblings stayed silent. Were they twins? He realized he didn’t know. He’d been a bit incurious about them as well, truthfully. Assuming he’d work for them a little while before they parted ways, probably from pissing each other off. That hadn’t happened yet, so…

“Well. And that's exactly why YOU-“ he swung his empty mug at Laios - “have got to start taking this more seriously! This exact kind of thing is what I’m talking about!” They let him rant on. Having both of their attention on him was not a new feeling, but he ignored it. “The reactions people will have to you are exactly what a leader needs to be aware of! You can’t just say whatever you want!” He was ranting. “You’ll damage their trust in you if you’re careless. Think about how they’ll think, Laios.” It was so obvious, but Laios’ eyes were alight. Had nobody ever had talks like this with him? “And if you can’t figure *that* out, then at least listen to the people around you.” They were listening like he was bestowing crucial information on them. Chilchuck suddenly felt like laughing. There was something funny about these two overgrown dummies, so eerily at home in the dungeon but so in need of caretaking outside of that. They’d followed him around like puppies on errands across town to the bank and the slums, and now they were hanging on his every word. Eventually, he paused, raising his mug and drinking deeply until only foam was left. A warm feeling was in his gut.

“So it’s ok if I ask you, next time?” Laios looked at him with glimmering eyes. “If it’s an imposition, we could renegotiate…”

The idea of Laios renegotiating was laughable enough to make Chilchuck reach for the pitcher, but Laios beat him to it and leaned over to give him a refill. Ha! Maybe he wasn’t completely helpless. He was thinking now, wanting not to offend, wanting to be helpful. This was the kind of thing a party leader needed to practice, so it suddenly seemed very appropriate to reinforce him. “Yes! Like that! Good boy!”

If not for his keen senses, he would’ve never noticed. As it was, most of the time Chilchuck convinced himself he’d imagined it. The look in Laios’ eyes, in that instant, was feral.

#also FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART CREATE A SIDEBLOG TO BECOME EVEN MORE UNHINGED ON IT'S SO FUN.

Forget His Name

Author’s Note: So this is loosely based on true events. My bf of four years broke up with me a few weeks ago and everything mentioned in this about how the reader’s ex is, was how my ex was.

Pairing: Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x y/n

Summary: Your boyfriend broke up with you but Rooster’s there to save the day!

Warnings: mentions of sex

y/n/n - your nick name

...

You were drunk. The reason being, your boyfriend of four years just broke up with you. At least he asked you to meet at the bar to do it. You didn’t even have to get up to start drinking.

2 hours go by and you’re still sitting in the same spot, same empty expression on your face, but you’re a lot drunker than you were.

Penny saw the whole thing. She tried to talk to you but you wouldn’t budge. She figured some free drinks would help but after 2 hours, she knew she needed to do something else. She called in backup.

“Hey honey, how are you?” Pete Mitchell asked, taking a seat next to you. You didn’t move, didn’t budge. He was like an uncle to you but there was nothing to get you out of this.

Maverick looked at Penny and gave her a nervous look, he had no idea what to do. So, he called in more backup.

“Hey y/n/n, we heard what happened, we’re so sorry” Phoenix softly spoke putting her hand on your shoulder “Yeah, we’re here for you” Bob added, softly putting his hand on your other shoulder.

You did nothing but take another sip of your drink. Still staring forward with a blank look.

Penny, Maverick, Bob and Phoenix all looked at each other, mouthing what they should do. In the midst of all of them trying to figure out how to pull you out of this fog, Hangman walked in the bar. He knew what happened because they were all texting in the group chat about it.

He struts over to you, “C’mon, he probably couldn’t even pleasure you,” he spoke harshly, “I know how to make a lady feel good. I’ll have you screaming my name so loud, you’ll forget what his even is”

Everyone stared at Hangman, shocked at his ignorance. You still stared straight forward. Phoenix smacked his arm.

“Someone say something shocking, maybe it’ll snap her out of it” Penny whispered to the group.

“Y/n I’m in love with Hangman, he’s the most talented and handsome man I’ve ever known” Phoenix spoke quickly. Hangman looked smug til he realized they all thought that that would be shocking.

Still, nothing. Your lip did quiver a bit, a tear threatening to fall. You downed your drink. They were all scared they couldn’t help you. Then, Rooster entered the bar. He saw the scene in front of him and muttered “dumbasses” shaking his head at them. He walked up to you, put his arm around your shoulder and ordered two beers. Penny gave him an odd look but got them none the less.

“Here you go y/n/n” Rooster spoke, sliding the beer to you. “Listen, I know these idiots were all probably saying how sorry they are and how they’re here for you. That’s the problem. That will just make you more sad right now. You need to be angry, not sad. Tell us how shitty he was, yell, break shit, get mad at him!”

You looked over at Rooster, everybody gasped. No one spoke in fear of scaring you back into your fog.

“You’re right” was all you spoke. Then, the damn broke.

“You know what, screw him. You know he never made time for me. And he never bought me gifts or even complimented me.” You were starting to get more heated and Rooster smiled, he knew this would work.

You got up and walked over towards the pool table. The group followed you.

“He is such an asshole, I did everything for him. And then he goes and does this??” You were now in a full rage. The group was starting to loosen up and were all listening to you, agreeing he was an asshole. You went on and on ranting about everything he did, the group continuing to hype you up. You were smiling now, happy to get everything off your chest.

“And do you guys want to know the worst thing about him. In the entire four years we were dating, he never made me finish.” You spoke, getting embarrassed towards the end of your sentence.

“What?! Not once??” “Are you kidding me??” “What a prick!” “And you stayed with him this whole time??!” “Please say you’re kidding” Everyone spoke at the same time. Everyone except Rooster. His smile dropped when you spoke and he just continued to look at you.

“How often did you two have sex?” Phoenix asked

“Lets just say I pleased him multiple times a day at least four days a week” You softly spoke, realizing just how embarrassing this was. “Let’s just forget I said that... please”

“You can’t expect me to stop talking about this -” Hangman started but Rooster interrupted, “She said forget about it, Hangman, drop it” He practically growled at him.

Hangman put his hands up in surrender and everyone started having their own conversations to spare you the embarrassment. Rooster turned to you.

“Thank you, not just for standing up for me but for showing me I should be mad instead of sad” You said quietly, still embarrassed from what just happened.

“Why did you let him treat you like that? You’re such a good person, kind, beautiful, smart, funny, and you let him do all that to you for four years? I don’t get it” He said to you, looking genuinely confused.

“I guess I didn’t realize just how bad it was until I started thinking about everything just now. And I didn’t think I’d find anyone else who’d love me” You said, looking down.

“Look around this room, we all love you. I love you, y/n, so much. You know, for a smart person, you can be dumb sometimes” He laughed

“What do you mean” You spoke, slightly offended that he insulted you and then laughed about it.

“I’ve been like in love with you for the longest time, it’s kind of embarrassing honestly. Just waiting for you to breakup with him so I could get my chance with you” He never looked away from you as he spoke “Maybe I could get my chance now?”

You were stunned, you never thought that this tall, beautiful man would love you and find you attractive.

“You know, Hangman said something earlier, something about screaming his name so loud I’d forget my exe’s name. I cringed so hard and thought I was going to throw up a little bit” You smiled, he looked upset at the thought of Jake saying that to you.

“But, I think the idea of screaming “Rooster” sounds much better, doesn’t it?” You looked up at him through your eyelashes

He stuttered a little, processing what you were insinuating. “Yes, maam, that sounds like a great idea” His eyes were wide with the thought of you underneath him.

“It would be my pleasure to show you how a real man pleases his girl” He smirked at you and put his hand on your cheek

“If it’s ok, I’d like to kiss you now” He asked and you melted on the inside.

“I would love that” You spoke and before you could finish, his lips were on yours.

You had never had a kiss like this. It was full of love and passion. Nothing like kissing your ex. You smiled into the kiss and he did too. You both pulled away and looked at each other, you suddenly got embarrassed and looked down. He put a finger under your chin, bringing your face back up to his and kissed you again.

You heard whistles from the group and Rooster decided to make a show out of it. He put one hand on your waist and the other on your head and dipped you down, never breaking the kiss. The whistles and hollers got even louder and some were even clapping.

He brought you back up and had the biggest smile on your face.

“I’ve wanted to do that for so damn long baby” He said, never taking his hands off of you.

You both made your way back to the group, holding hands. He leaned against the wall and turned you around so your back was leaned against his front. He rested his hands on your waist and you both watched as the rest of them played pool.

The whole night, your group made jokes and Rooster kept whispering in your ear.

“So, can I finally show you how you should be treated in bed?” Bradley whispered against your ear, his mustache rubbing against you as he spoke.

“Yes please” You said maybe a little too urgently.

Rooster laughed and picked you up and threw you over his shoulder. He brought you out of the bar that way while you laughed and told him to put you down.

He set you down next to his car and kissed you again.

“Sorry, I just can’t stop kissing you” He said

“It’s ok, I could definitely get used to it” you winked at him.

He drove you back to his place and lets just say, you definitely forgot your ex’s name.

Hey, I noticed requests are open. May I please request Leona, Malleus, and Jamil from twisted wonderland seeing the MC as a younger sibling?

Feel free to ignore, hope you have a nice day!

Ofc! Also yes, I’m alive, sorry for not telling you guys I was on a large hiatus 🙏

But I’m HERE! And I will gladly write this! I think I’ve only written like two other platonic x readers, so I’m excited!

Leona, Malleus, and Jamil seeing reader as a kid sibling!

Leona Kingscholar:

Leona is extremely protective and although he doesn’t show it to you directly

He has his way of keeping an eye on you

Such as maybe asking Ruggie to just,,,watch you for a bit.

His way of affection is everything but straightforward, but he tries

You have a bad dream? You can stay in his room for the night

Are you being bullied? He will make sure they run away with their tail between their legs

Although he constantly skips class, he may sneak a couple hours in there to spend time with you, he will deny it, of course

If you like to play with his long hair, he will let you braid it, but will probably complain the whole time

With his extremely rough exterior, he slightly brushes that off when he’s around you

He becomes more pleasant!

At least, as pleasant as Leona can be..

Malleus Draconia:

Malleus seeing you as a sibling is like a packaged deal

You have to:

1.deal with the smothering of Lilia

2. The complaints of Sebek

3. And Silver-actually no Silver is pretty chill

Malleus lets himself become more vulnerable and open with you!

He doesn’t really enjoy spending time with people, but he will try his hardest to just make you happy

If you want to go to the courtyard with him? He will gladly let you

You wish to go gargoyle watching with him? He thought you would never ask!

Like Leona, he is extremely protective as well, but it’s not as visible

He lets you touch his horns if you so wish!

And also if you invite him to different events his heart will swell

He hopes you keep up with your studies, all he wants is your future to be bright!

Are you having trouble with your studies? He will help!

You need to rant to him? He’s all ears

He feels it’s his duty to be a good role model towards you.

Jamil Viper:

He’s pretty demanding towards you, but in his eyes it’s just him trying to toughen your skin

At random events like ceremonies, he will whisper in your ear random advice about new students

He catches himself being stubborn with who you hang out with, not wanting you to mess with the wrong bunch

*cough* Octavinelle *cough*

He would cook food for you, making sure you get enough nutrients and make sure you are healthy

If you came to him with a crush, he’d try to act as if he didn’t care but deep down was plotting a murder (as long as they’re nice ig…don’t count on it tho)

You’d probably have to make a PowerPoint presentation on why he shouldn’t kill your crush ahaha

Thanks for reading!

Hello....If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

I can’t remember if I’ve done this before but it’s changed again recently. Most of these are gonna be books because I’ve had way too much time sitting around lately so I’ve had enough time to actually enjoy books without destroying my sleep schedule for it.

1. BBC Merlin is my all time favourite, I don’t feel like I need to elaborate, it’s pretty much all I post about on here.

2. Song of Achilles is still my all time favourite book and number 2 behind Merlin. I think I’m nearing 20 rereads total for it by now. It’s never boring and keeps me interested every time. Cannot recommend enough. I’d give anything to be able to read it again for the first time.

3. I’ve been reading quite a few classics recently, I had a lot of free time. I met another Greek mythology nerd so Iliad and Odyssey make my top ten again because they’ve been on my mind a lot more than I care to admit. (I know it’s technically two books but I always read them together)

4. And I finally got around to reading Iron Heart (sequel to Crier’s war) and it’s amazing. One of the best books I’ve read recently. I’m gonna leave it at that or I’ll start ranting but I can’t recommend it enough so definitely go read that if you get a chance.

5. BBC Musketeers is also really good, I started watching that recently. I’m only on episode 6 but it’s great so far. Santiago Cabrera’s hair is fucking gender. Also the show got me researching 17th century weapons and now I know a fair amount about capes so that’s fun. BBC is still shit at historical accuracy, but no surprise there.

6. The Great Gatsby because I’m that kind of nerd and I’ve been mostly rereading recently. Everyone is such an arsehole in that book but it’s so interesting to analyse and annotate. I read it in year 7 and hated it, then again in college and it wasn’t bad but 3rd times a charm I guess. I found it really interesting from an analytical perspective, but I wouldn’t read it for light reading or fun.

7. I’ve been avoiding anything new other than musketeers, just because I haven’t felt like getting to know a new set of characters and a new world. That being said, I rewatched the first season of Good Omens, Crowleys still one of my all time favourite characters and the show is great.

8. I rewatched Stars Align, always a fun one. It’s a great show and the art style is really cool.

9. Seraph of the end because I love vampire stories. The plot is really interesting, I still need to read the manga but the anime is brilliant so I want to read that soon. Also no romance (ignoring shipping) which my aroace self appreciates.

10. The Tempest because my cousin was studying it in school and asked for help so I reread it for her and got a little bit hyper-fixated for a few days, now it’s still just sort of in the back of my mind and I’m a Shakespeare nerd so might as well add it.

Thanks for the ask!

Yeah, I know but I feel like the chunk only comes out when I’m hurt or I’m ranting and it shouldn’t be like that either, well except you FNL cos well you’re anonymous! I just wanna see the same support on a regular day, not only when I feel worthless and ready to quit. // and that's on Mary had a little lamb. I feel you on that. And actually... I back up whatever you decide to do. Because if people can't be respectful enough to show love to you with a like, a reblog, an ask after consuming your content then you have every right to pull all YOUR energy away since they won't share THEIRS after you've said time and time again you would appreciate that.

Now all that being said lemme check myself too. I'm anon but i'ma find my own way to connect better to you after reading your next PAC (if you ever choose to do anymore.) I get the ✨anxious✨ and the ✨nervous✨ cuz I feel like I'm bothering people. But lemme go ahead and put my money where my mouth is.

Last thing, I hope life outside of this site is getting better overall. I know I keep saying it but it's true, you have such a beautiful soul. I'm taking my last little bits of good juju I save for others to use on you.

Awww my FNL!! You’re the smile on my face that I need you clever punny Muhfucca!!! And that’s on dr Suess creating thing one and thing two!!! I hate feeling like I’m giving and not receiving hence why I did pull all my content from this site, I need to feel a want for me to come bacc, literally I say that there’s so many readers on here they’re not looking for me or even impacted by my PAC’s and again they tell me to post more music I do and it gets ignored & so I’m like what else am I to do but pull bacc, then here comes the I love yous and the don’t leave, give me my roses while I’m still standing so I can feel inspired to keep going on here, not when I’m leaving cos then I feel like tuh they just want some more long ass readings, I can jus do the readings for myself and call it day but instead I love helping others find clarity cos it SUCCS SO MUCH FUCCIN ASS BEING LOST OR FOGGY so I wanna help in that way but I’m drowning out here when it comes to getting that reciprocal energy with readings and recognition from my music and that shit puts me in a toxic area that I’m way to familiar with and trying to grow from! If I do another PAC, it’ll be my first one all over again! But again that shit has to be earned! No other way around it! I’m doing cool in my outside life trying to build myself up and it’s not so difficult & worth it! So yes getting better your good juju has been working on me thank you I appreciate you! I wanna be seen as more than FREE READINGS! I wanna be seen as Lotus THE BADASS ENTERTAINER WHO CAN ROCC A MIC & SOME BARS AS WELL AS READ YOUR ENERGY AND BRING YO ASSES SOME CLARITY YA KNOW???

Ok… rant incoming, feel free to ignore it, somethings just come up and it really irritated me, I’ll put it under the read more because it’s a lot… personal stuff, family stuff, I’ve kept this rant bottled up for a pretty long time so it’s a long post

I don’t mind if you don’t read it

I came so close to scrapping this again (I have typed this story out in the past and deleted it) but sod it! I need to get this out of my system!

TW: Illness, death

So… I have a half sister, she’s my dad’s daughter from a previous marriage, much older than me and my brother

I’d not heard from her for 13 or 14 years but when my dad’s health deteriorated she turned up, acting like she’d been present for the last 13/14 years, my dad had invited her over so I remained civil, as much as I hated her being there

A little extra context, she has 4 children and my dad, their grandfather, met the youngest 2 for the first time just before lockdown in 2020, they were 9 and 7 years old!

When my dad was at his worst, about a week before he died, she turned up again, at the same time my dad was being seen to by an ambulance crew (his temperature was worryingly high, given his condition) and with lockdown rules, only 7 people were allowed in the room; my mum, dad, 2 ambulance crew, our GP was there as were the 2 visiting nurses that came to the house 4 times a day to help with his care, so I went in the living room out of the way, when she got there I told her that we needed to wait in the living room, so what does she do, yep… goes into the room where my dad is, acting the concerned daughter.

When she gets told to go and wait in the living room by my mum she comes in and sits down, never asking if I was ok, or anything like that, no she says “what’s wrong with dad?” Oh I had to hold my tongue sooooo much, I could’ve gone off on a rant, but I didn’t, I said “they’re making sure his temperature isn’t because of COVID” then she says “how would he have got that?”

Now bare in mind… I was still working full time, I was going into work not knowing if he would be there when I got home, I was at the end of my emotional tether, if it wasn’t for a couple of friends at work, I’d have exploded at that comment, I read it as she was blaming me for making my dad’s health worse, I couldn’t deal with her, so I retreated to my bedroom and cried for a while.

So… dad died in October 2020, I made it clear that I would not sit next to her at the funeral, we shared a hug at the end but she said nothing to me, not that I wanted her to, and that was the last time I saw her.

Fast forward to today… a whole 2 years, 7 months and a few days after he died, and my mum comes down with piles of photos, and she says “I know you’re going to ask, so I’m just going to say it, I got a message from her (she used her name but I’m not going to use it here) the other day asking if we had any pictures of her with dad, I know we have a couple so I’m going to look for them”

And this is what has irritated me, after nearly 3 years of no contact she asks if we have pictures of her and dad?! And assumes that my mum can just say “oh yes, we have a lot, I’ll send them you, dad kept them in a special box” because NO, he didn’t, we have like… 3, and they could be scattered in various piles of photos!

So now my mum is having to search through photos to find pictures of her… it’s just… it’s really annoyed me…

My mum has been avoiding looking through the pictures, because it upsets her, I know it does, so I insisted that she put some upbeat music on (Pet Shop Boys, mums favourite) and to stop when she needs to

Ok… rant over… I’m just going to… go and calm down for a little bit

#blossom rambles #blossom rants #ignore me I’m just ranting #feel free to ignore #I needed to get this out my system #💙🌸#sorry for the long rant

IN THE CARDS | LEE FELIX

“… the stars in the sky who decided love was not in the cards for you.”

PAIRING(s) | Felix x reader

THEMES | angst, unrequited love, high school juniors!au, I think that’s all :>

WORD COUNT: 1.23k+

RATING | pg

NOTE | surprise! no- I’m not off hiatus yet. Unfortunately my laptop is still out of order and I hate writing on my phone but I really wanted to post something ✦ angsty ✦ so here we are T^T anyway I hope you enjoy and I hope I can get back here soon! Have a great day/night! Also feel free to ignore this new layout, or give feedback whether you like it or not, ty <3

SKZ M.LIST

You’d liked Felix since the third week of school when you two were freshmen. Now, years later, you still harbored the same feelings for him, except much stronger. Throughout your freshmen, sophomore, and now junior years, you’d grown closer to him. You two’s friend groups often ran into each other and combined, making the two of you semi familiar friends. You’d even hung out a few times together.

Of course you never acted on it. You were too shy to do anything about your schoolgirl crush. In fact, you were sure it would fade eventually, which was why whenever Areum—your best friend—would bring up your “mystery boy”, you’d always do your best to conceal his identity. You just knew she’d try to play Cupid, and you just weren’t ready to be embarrassed like that.

But recently, you'd heard him talking about a girl. One his and your friends apparently knew considerably well, and one he hung out with “sort of often”, as he’d described it. Yet he always seemed hesitant to talk about it, especially when you were around.

Trying to solve the mystery, your friends had come up with a few theories. One being that there wasn’t a girl in the group and he just wanted to throw them off. Another being it was a newer girl who’d recently transferred and taken a liking to your social circles. And the last one being that he had a crush on you.

Your friends were oblivious to your feelings for him, yes, but that didn’t stop them from seeing some sort of chemistry between the two of you. Their main pieces of evidence included that Felix always preferred to sit on your side of the table at lunch, that he could be caught looking your way a few times a day.

So when you saw him looking a bit nervous and glancing around you, you couldn’t help but think that maybe he’d grown some feelings for you over the time you’d known each other.

Twiddling his thumbs, he’d waited for your friends to clear out from the hall quietly asking you to stay behind so he could speak with you privately.

When your friends heard him ask you to stay behind, they all winked and giggled like middle schoolers, nudging you and bouncing their brows. Even if you didn’t want Felix to have a crush on you, they’d have you pretty convinced he was going to ask you out with their borderline ridiculous behavior.

Still playing with his hands and shifting side to side as he waits for you to approach him. Adrenaline pumps through your veins, and you try not to look too eager to hear what he needs to say. “What did you need to talk to me about?”

“Well you know how our friend groups have been mixing up a lot the past three years, and we’ve all grown kinda close. It’s only natural that someone would end up liking someone else, right?” He rants, trying not to stumble over his words or say too much more than he needs to. You nod at his question, doing your best not to smile stupidly at his cute antics and urging him to continue talking. “Well, I was just hoping that maybe…”

You hold your breath in anticipation, your hands you’re hiding behind your back clinging to each other with excitement. It’s actually happening, he’s as asking you out—

“Maybe you could ask Areum to meet me behind the sakura trees in the field later today. Oh, but don’t tell her its me she’s meeting, I want it to be a surprise, so just say she’s meeting you. Unless you don’t want to, because I can ask someone else—“ his voice rings in your ears, any other words he utters blending together into an incoherent mess.

All those glances, the nervousness, the giddiness and whispers between his friends and blushed cheeks when you were around… they weren’t directed at you.

It’s only now you realize, he wasn’t looking at you, he was looking at Areum

He wasn’t nervous or shy or excited because you were around, it was because Areum was with you.

The whispers and flustered expressions, they were because he liked her.

Not you.

Her.

You knew your best friend was pretty, and smart, and funny, and kind… just like you were. But she was all of that, and more. She was any guy’s dream girl and you’d never envied that more than you do right now.

But you pick up your slack jaw, blinking away the tears that were trying to well up in your eyes and smiling as brightly as you can muster. Clasping your hands together, you squeal with excitement, jumping around with false joy. “Oh my god, you have a crush on her? That’s so cute! You two would be such a great couple! Yes, of course I’ll tell her! What time?”

At least you had time to prepare for the scene you’re about to witness when four o’clock rolls around and you watch your best friend approach the sakura field with a face full of confusion. You watch him nervously pick up the flowers he’d bought her and take a deep breath—all while he was hiding behind a tree and trying to collect himself.

When he finally emerges from his hiding spot, a sheepish smile on his face as Areum turns to him with a raised brow, trying to do anything other than wish you were in her place right now. Oh, what you would give to have Felix look at you the way he looks at her—like she alone was responsible for keeping the world turning and making sure the sun rose everyday. What you would do for just a taste of the affection he reaches for her hand with, the gentleness he places the flowers in her grip with,

You barely hear her answer to his long, well rehearsed yet still raw and genuine confession, your ears clogged with the sound of your own pulse and uneven breathing, You swear the shattering in your chest is more than just your emotions—it’s too painful to not be physical too.

When you walk into the halls the next day, you can only blame yourself for the happy new couple holding hands by your locker.

And when he stops you by the wrist to thank you for your help, you hide the bitterness in your tone as well as you can, muttering a soft, “Don’t mention it.”

Truly, you never want them to as long as you live, because you never want to be reminded that you’re the reason they ended up together. You introduced them, asked them to hang out with you in hopes of having your love requited. You’re the one who never opened up about their crush, or did anything about it for that matter.

And when Areum joins in, a bright smile on her perfect face as she thanks you for helping them get together, you really do mean it when you say with the most gentle tone you’ve ever used, “Don’t thank me, please,” Your faux smile hiding the pain in your eyes as theirs lock with nothing but love for the other.

But in the end, you did this to yourself, and have nobody else to blame besides someone the stars in the sky who decided love was not in the cards for you.

Trolly Problem - A Genloss Theory/Thoughts focused on Hetch

// This is kinda long, also genloss spoilers

Before I rant, I’m just saying that I feel silly and am just ranting. I saw 1 post about this and went haywire smile

Ok so i’ve been thinking about genloss, specifically, Hetch. Now I know a lot of us see him as villainous, seeing as he did manipulate Ranboo and in a way, killed them. But, as I’ve been thinking, Hetch as a character seemed a bit to simple. A villain, a killer, someone we shouldn’t trust. However, what if that in a way, he as a person was masked a bit. our view has been masked before and I don’t doubt we are free from it. So, my rant begins:

First off, titles. Hetch, apparently, was a name the Scottish used as a nickname for someone crooked. Which, with Hetchs character as we know goes, fits. But, nickname is what gets me. I could ask many questions about naming for some key characters, or a lack of naming. Examples include The Mastermind and The Founder. We are given titles that explain how they are relevant in a way. So, why wouldn’t the same go for Hetch? We know he works for The Founder, so maybe he was renamed to fit the role. The role he needed to serve.

That segway’s into my next point. A post talked about how people with masked in genloss are controllable, like the workers and Ran, as well as including Hetch. So what if Hetch is high in power, nearing The Founder, but still a puppet. Again, new point. It can be assumed that Hetch is a puppet for The Founder. But, what if that isn’t the case. Someone outside of Showfall trying to expose Showfall. But, evident by the 7-foot monster that killed multiple people, and upped security we know from Hetch telling us, simply walking in can’t happen. We know Showfall can’t stop hackers, evident by Hetch and Squiggles interactions, if you can call them that.

I’ll stop building fluff around this and just say it, I think Hetch is a puppet being used to tear down Showfall Media. However, he works there and was quite high on the job scale. The person who is puppeteering him could be doing what we did to Ranboo in the Cabin. We told Ranboo to go somewhere, but didn’t control a lot of what they did or how they did it, aside from a one worded command. Explore. Could this person controlling Hetch be doing similar things, but with Hetch being aware of Showfall control on Ranboo or just Showfall being able to control people. Or they let him keep those memories, not relevant.

I said i’d stop the fluff then added more so here’s the good part. The person puppeteering Hetch wants us to see him as villainous as well as those working with The Founder, who we assume are well aware of everything, as people who need to be torn down. Making Hetch be the only person from The Founders direct team and our only representative of them it a great idea for the goal of tearing Showfall Media down. If we assume the Founder is the Founder of Showfall. Anyways, with how we view Hetch, maybe they want us to view the rest of them to be untrustworthy. Make us take very thing they say with a grain of salt.

Ok that’s it, i’m not the best at explaining my theory but I hope it makes sense. A few more things though. If we believe that there is a separating party involved, that could make a neat ending. We have to make one final choice, which villain do we eliminate? Both could leave us with a feeling of dread. Ranboo seems to likes that. Adding on to that, Hetch could be neutral. Controlled by one side, but technically working for the other. Neat character idea. Bonus, stab wound was given to try and make him easier to control. Getting him both mentally and physically tired.

Also, I think you can somewhat ignore the thought of another person puppeteering Hetch or assume is just Hetch acting. But, I don’t think we know enough about Hetch and his true motives, or things threatening him. To finish this off, I pose a question to you:

You know the trolly question? The train going to hit one person or five, and we have to pick. Have you every thought of the person who was controlling the train, or the one who launched it? If they were trying to stop it, to make it better once aware. Would you blame them for the accident, a situation they might have not been able to control? Just some thoughts.

I’m in rant mode and it’s about religion. Feel free to look away.

I just saw a TikTok about this group who all had various viewpoints and religions. There was a Satanist on there who couldn’t believe in God because “forcing people to believe in you otherwise damning them to hell isn’t kindness.” I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about that bit in another blog, but I can tackle that here too.

Yeah, if you put it that way, of course I would agree with you. Like any other dictator: “if you don’t follow me, you can be jailed or be put to death.” It’s not a thing a humane person would support. The whole point of this is not simply “believing in the existence of God.” It is about accepting the human sacrifice that Jesus was. He didn’t know sin, therefore, he was able to know God. However, he essentially swapped our rightful deaths. Once a man of perfection, gave his identity to us and took our identity of sinner, and took the damning sacrifice so we wouldn’t have to. Now all we have to do? Accept Christ as the one who came to save all. “But you have to devote yourself to God—“ yeah, I mean why else would you accept Christ? It’s to have a connection with God, not simply to escape certain death.

Next thing the dude brought up was that “Jesus gave up a weekend” when He died and was resurrected. From an outsider looking in, eternity versus a weekend is no great sacrifice and I can understand that perspective. However, it’s an incredibly ignorant statement in regards to the faith. It shows to me that you’ve never walked it in the slightest.

Jesus predicted his own death and resurrection. He predicted that he was going to be brutally beaten and crucified. A death he didn’t want himself. He didn’t give up a weekend, he gave up himself. He still died. Spiritually, he came back to life. Even those last two statements is not the equivalent of a weekend, like he said it so casually.

If you want to cling to your own faith or lack thereof, that is fine. I’ve hit my point of fighting religious wars. I’m not going to waste my time convincing you on my faith because it’s mine to have, not yours to explore and eventually condemn. If you have curiosities about it, I’m open to talking about it.

Hello! If it's not too much trouble, I was wondering if I could possibly request a headcanon for how the mercs would comfort someone/their teammates? (I'm not sure if someone already requested this or not so sorry if this might be a bit repetitive). Also, I absolutely love all of your headcanons, they're so amazing! Hope you have a fantastic day! :)

Scout: he’s not good with words, but he also won’t shut up. he’ll ramble on and on about how “it’s not that bad- not that I’m trying to downplay what’s going on that’s not what I meant, I was just sayin’ it’ll get better- not that I’m saying that makes things better but-”. and by the time he’s done rambling they’ve either started laughing at how awkward that was or are just endeared that he’s trying at least. he’ll hang out with them for the rest of the day and just talk about nothing and it helps take their mind off things at least

Soldier: it’s strange because he actually gets quiet and will sit down to hear them out. most would assume he’d be the “walk it off” type, but he’s the exact opposite. something is bothering them and he’s concerned. after they finish laying it all out, he’ll get up and give them the pep talk of a lifetime. they’re the best, whatever is going on he’s certain they can overcome it, he’s proud of them and if he has any say over it he will personally see to them overcoming this!

Pyro: they’ll plan a whole afternoon with them to sit down and relax and take their mind off things. find out their favorite movie, their favorite board game, make them something warm to drink and just sit down in a blanket fort and forget about the rest of the world. hell, here’s a coloring book if they want it. they know ignoring the problem doesn’t fix it, but putting it on the back-burner until they’re ready to tackle it can help them get there

Demoman: two words: hugs galore. he’ll hug someone and not let go unless they’re very clear they don’t want that. but he’s a touchy person so if they’re going to him for comfort then they’re expecting it. he’ll just hold them until things are okay enough to figure out what they need to help with this

Heavy: he’s the best listener. so if they want to rant or vent or what have you and just talk his ear off, he’s alright with that. do they wanna just cry with someone else in the room? that’s okay too, he’ll let them cry into him if that helps. if they need advice, he’ll offer it. his sisters are all different in how they need comforting so he’s used to being available for whatever someone needs. they just let him know and he’ll provide

Engineer: he is going to find out what their comfort food is and they’re gonna have it. he’s definitely a “here food helps” kinda guy. he’ll make them whatever they want, he doesn’t care if he’s gotta run out to get the stuff for it. he’s just an absolute doll when it comes to comforting someone and will be as doting as possible if it helps

Medic: here’s a lollipop. his bedside manner isn’t always the best. he’s used to dealing with injuries, healing them, and sending the patient on their way. and it’s not that he isn’t concerned, because he is. it’s just this isn’t something he can heal and fix and he doesn’t know what to do. they’re welcome to sit with him while he works if that would help. here, hold a bird, and if you want to talk about it feel free

Sniper: he’s not much of a talker when it comes to comforting people, it’s really awkward for him to try and find the right words. the moment they look to him for a response, he’s lost. his go-to is usually to offer to take them on a drive, either silent or with the radio on low. maybe just to go sit out in the middle of nothing and stare up at the sky on the roof of his camper

Spy: he acts like he doesn’t care but he does. especially if it’s someone significantly younger than him, he just enters Dad Mode. but he does little things, usually cloaked so it comes off more as little coincidental. like having their drink prepared for them in the morning, or their bedding has been washed and bed made for them

#tf2 #team fortress 2 #tf2 headcanons #tf2 scout #tf2 soldier #tf2 pyro #tf2 demoman #tf2 heavy #tf2 engineer #tf2 medic #tf2 sniper #tf2 spy #sharing one braincell

Unpopular Opinion Time (Yes it’s another ML post)

Alright. I’m exposing myself to clowning here, but if I don’t rant about this, it’s going to bother me forever and the salt build up will clog my arteries...

The issue (or at least my personal issue) with the claim that Chloe’s “arc” was meant to end with her staying a villain isn’t “How dare the villain remain the villain” - It’s that it even if you view it from that lens or as a condemnation arc like Thomas claims was planned from the start, it still comes off as incredibly lazily and sloppily handled to the point that you have to question why the writers did it in the first place if they were going to be so halfhearted with it.

Even if becoming a hero was not actually on the table in the first place, It’s not like I can blame people for thinking Chloe was getting a redemption - They made hints about Chloe getting a miraculous despite stating them only being for “good people”, they made the effort to give Chloe focus and to showcase that she’s actually capable of being decent when motivated, they started involving her more with the main cast, they gave her a maincast level backstory reveal (which is more than we can say about the other temp heroes outside of Luka and Juleka) alongside explaining how it was the cause of her horrible personality. They did all of that with the implication of wanting to show that Chloe, for all her awfulness, could genuinely be heroic, and got people all excited for Queen Bee and potential Ally!Chloe before promptly pulling the proverbial rug from under them in the form of season 3 and Miracle Queen.

“But Clover!” You say, “All that was likely just the writers way of giving her more depth as a antagonist. They did the same thing with Gabriel and Felix, and they’re still villains too! Chloe was likely always meant to be a mean bully and never change and her becoming a hero was a set up for that twist. You’re just being too critical!”

And I would totally agree with you on that front (ML isn’t the first to pull the “Badguy tries being good for a day (or season in this case) but ultimately returns to being bad” trope after all) - if they actually did anything with that depth. If the writers had Chloe start working for Hawkmoth post (or even pre) Miracle Queen after getting Akumatized again and almost taking over Paris because of it, I’d agree. If the writers had properly used the build up of her constantly being denied becoming QB again throughout Season 3 with Chloe implying to now hate Ladybug in Season 4 and have her own Lila-esque arc where she becomes antagonistic to Marinette in and out the mask and actually becomes a genuine obstacle in her superheroing, I’d agree. If the writers actually showed hints throughout Chloe’s stint as Queen Bee minus the train incident that implied she wanted the other Miraculouses/more power instead of some borderline OOC line in the season finale that came out of nowhere, I’d agree. If the writers showed actual consequences to Chloe’s misbehavior (The almost-train crash, Miracle Queen, her revealing herself as Queen Bee, etc.) outside of not getting to use her Miraculous anymore, I’d agree. If the writers had her becoming Miracle Queen solely to get back at Ladybug/for the power of being an Akuma and hadn’t included that bit with her asking Hawkmoth to free her parents first in “Heart Hunter” (which I feel a lot of people skip over when discussing the lead up to MQ) or Hawkmoth setting it up for her to get Akumatized (only to resist) in the first place, I’d agree. If they had Marinette (or anyone really) at the end of “Style Queen” encourage Chloe to stop trying to take after her mother (instead of having our heroine and Chloe’s main target of harassment tell her to continue the bullying by acting like Audrey even more for some reason because that’s definitely something Marinette would say to the girl who’s been bullying her all year revealing why), only for her not to listen/ignore the advice, I’d agree tenfold.

But they didn’t.

If the writers had done literally anything else than what was done with Chloe throughout S3 and after, I‘d be more than willing to agree that maybe I’m reading more than I should into things and that Thomas and Co. had a completely different plan for her than I was hoping for/expecting - but they didn’t. Nothing is ever done with any of the “depth” they gave Chloe to either redeem or condemn her. Nada. Zip. Zilch. A big fat zero exploration in either direction in her development. They don’t try and have her realize she’s become a terrible person and push to better herself, but they also don’t attempt to go further with her bullying and misbehavior outside of basic cookie-cutter pigtail pulling and insults she usually does, and the two times we actually see her being “worse than usual” is to a)be the background prop to her surprise half-sister’s own intro/hero origin (which barely gets touched upon ever again anyways because after those two episode, she and Zoe never ever interact with one another directly except that one scene in “Optigami” that was basically put in/made to “protect” Zoe by tricking Hawkmoth into thinking Chloe was still the bee holder) and b)as the MOTW in what was basically a filler episode meant to let the creator check off the last of the Miraculouses that hadn’t been used/assigned (which ended up being worthless considering Hawkmoth stole them all two episodes later). The only genuinely “evil” thing I can think of her doing in S4 is trying to get Adrien put back into homeschooling/locked in his house to “have him to herself” in “Gabriel Agreste”, and it still ends up doing nothing to further/expand her apparent “villain arc” other than generating LoveSquare drama (and still ends up putting her in the bottom rung of villainy in the show consider what Felix does in that episode and the finale). Adrien doesn’t even find out what she almost did in the end and proceeds to continue treating her as normal (despite this being post Queen Banana where they’re not supposed to be friends anymore), so the subplot might as well not have happened anyway.

The thing about condemnation arcs in that they need actual hints that the character is going to be condemned in the first place, small showings of them slipping into worse and worse habits as their moral compass tilts until the villain shows up to offer them a free membership to the darkside. Even if you excuse it with “avoiding spoilers”, the fact that the ML team promoted and hyped up Chloe getting a Miraculous while “planning” to have her fall from grace comes off as deceitful because they never hint at her becoming a villain in the first place. Chloe entire stint as Queen Bee has her actually using her powers to help Ladybug with little to no use for personal gain except when revealing her identity publicly in a bid to get her mom to love her (and of the train scene - which never gets brought up again or used in-series as part of Hawkmoth’s bid to get her allegiance or why she’s actually totes evil guys BTWs), and most of her “I’m still Queen Bee/Queen Bee could solve this easily!” scenes in S3 come off more like silly jokes made at Chloe’s expense than subtle nudges from the plot that she’s slowly edging towards darkness. And when she does finally take the plunge, it ends up completely irrelevant to the story because the things she does (exposing the identities of the other chosen temp heroes of that season and taking over Paris) have so little impact on the following season or her role in-there-of that she might as well not have done them in the first place - hell, you could probably remove the episode and attach Fu’s sacrifice to the end of “Heart Hunter”, and not notice the difference come “Truth”.

And because I mentioned them, I will explain why they’re different from Chloe - the reason the “villain(or anti-villain in Felix’s case) with hidden depths” reveal worked for Gabriel and Felix is because they were established as hard, permanent-antagonists in the first place, and retained enough plot relevance in the story that the reveal of their motives/backstories added to their development, especially since said developments actually impacted the plot once revealed; Gabriel’s obsession with Emilie and reviving her is what prompts him to become Hawkmoth and explains his neglect Adrien as well, and this heavily impacted the second ID reveal in Ephemeral (even if they walked back on it in the end), while Felix clearly loves his mother dearly despite being so caustic but seems to detest both him and Adrien for reasons that go beyond missing his dad’s funeral, and spurs him into stealing Gabriel’s ring, screwing with Adrien twice under the guise of “helping” (”Felix” and “Risk”) and stealing the other Miraculouses to bargain with Gabriel at the end of “Strikeback”, heavily reducing Marinette’s arsenal and team size while hurting her emotionally since she had thought it was Adrien whom she gave the dog to.

Meanwhile, Chloe’s own reveals have done little to effect her (or anyone else’s) character progression post S3 while her role has been reduced to “occasional minor annoyance” that only gets brought out to remind the audience that she still exists and they need to dislike her - And once that’s over and done, they toss her off to the wayside (alongside Lila and Felix and now Luka) until it’s time to rinse and repeat. As stated in my post on her Antag Status, Chloe has little to no role in the story anymore now that the plot’s mostly moved on from most of the slice-of-life stuff and she herself hasn’t be “upgraded” to match the new stakes despite the show acting like she has, and it’s been nothing but a detriment to the episodes she’s in because the writers seem insistent on not either sending her out to pasture or properly ramping up her villain status to actually match the current circumstances of the storyline. It’s like they're too scared to make Chloe be a genuine threat to the status quo to help move the plot forward, so they make her retain her ineffectual bully role (to the point of harming Chloe’s actual role in story and the justification of) for the sake of comedy and helping prop up the Adrienette progress while treating it with the former’s severity. It’s no wonder most of the fandom’s confused on what direction the writers actually planned to take Chloe when they come off like they don’t seem to know either.

So when all’s said and done, the “meant to stay evil” interpretation of Chloe’s arc has it come off as just lazy and halfheartedly done. I understand that ML as a show is limited by genre (being a “Romcom kids show”) and episode amounts, but you’d think they’d make an effort to ensure their supposed “villain” properly debut as one if they had been “planning” it for so long. Even if her arc as a “hero” (temporary as it was supposed to apparently be) was admittedly messy with the constant back and forth they had between her learning a lesson on being good during her Queen Bee missions and then rolling back on that so she could continue to be a brat as Chloe, there was at least consistency with it that you could follow to make the argument they’re trying to make her good. With her “villain arc”, she’s basically all over the place and doing so very little to effect the plot to the point you can’t tell what they’re actually wanting to do with her.

It’s not that I don’t get/understand “Sometimes people are bad and will stay bad, even if you give them all the chances in the world to stop being so” as a lesson. It’s a very good lesson to have for kids and in general - but Chloe’s version of it is just...very poorly done no matter how you slice it. If having her be “the villain” was their plan in earnest, they would have been better off just nixing her tragic backstory reveal and just having her team up with Hawkmoth alongside Lila (or better yet, make Chloe turn out to be a spy for Hawkmoth via Gab having revealed his plans to her and “convincing” her to help for Adrien’s sake), or just not giving her a miraculous in the first place and not feeding her genuine fans and people interested in a potential redemption arc false hope. I have no clue what they’ll do with her in the coming season 5, but I’m honestly not optimistic

TLDR: ML stop making characters villains and then regulating them to the background for a million years.

Your hc of bill and Fleur getting divorced is something I don’t see often but I’ve had similar thoughts before!! I love both characters but I think it went to fast and there were so many differences between them that didn’t bring them closer. Potentially there’s a chance of it working but I, like you, can’t imagine Bill willing going to therapy.

Thank you! I’m glad that I’m not the only one! 😊

Yeah, I don’t think Bill would have any issues with his siblings getting therapy, but I just don’t think he would go himself (likely because of a subconscious pride and toxic masculinity thing - “It’s okay for them, but I don’t need it”).

I’ll admit that I’m biased about Bill x Fleur, because I'm one of the few people that dislikes this pairing, which I wrote about in this post. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but there are just so many things that bother me about them, so here comes a rant. 🤣

My Issues with Bill x Fleur

1. When they started dating, Fleur was just out of high school while Bill was in his mid-twenties.

2. Fleur jumped into a relationship right after she moved to a new country and was suddenly isolated (physically) from her friends and family.

3. Bill never defended her to his family.

4. To continue with my first point, Fleur seemed like a lovesick teenager around Bill:

“’E is always so thoughtful,” purred Fleur adoringly, stroking Bill’s nose.

...Fleur, who was now feeding Bill bits of turkey off her own fork...

“Did you hear about Florean Fortescue, Remus?” asked Bill, who was being plied with wine by Fleur.

There’s nothing wrong with that, per se, but it makes her seem too young (in my opinion), and they just don’t feel like a mature, established couple.

5. I also think there's something to be said about the fact that they did get married during a war - yes, they could have definitely done so for the right reasons, but it's also possible that it was more of a reaction to the unstable situation that caused the feeling of "life is short." It's a little telling that Bill takes a desk job because of the war, and suddenly he's in a serious relationship with the woman he's going to marry. It could be a coincidence, but it could not be. 🤷‍♀️

6. Bill & Fleur seem to be the next generation of Molly & Arthur in terms of their relationship dynamic - the dominant woman and the passive man who only contributes when prompted. This is obvious by the way he never intervenes with Molly & Fleur and in scenes like this:

They needed Griphook. The goblin ate only grudgingly with the rest of them. Even after his legs had mended, he continued to request trays of food in his room, like the still-frail Ollivander, until Bill (following an angry outburst from Fleur) went upstairs to tell him that the arrangement could not continue.

I would assume that this does not suddenly change when they have children. Again, there's nothing wrong with that, per se, but it does make the relationship seem unbalanced, and it's unfair that Molly/Fleur are left to handle the discipline and be the "bad guy" most of the time. For many people, that would eventually lead to resentment because they do not feel like their spouse is contributing to the emotional work of raising children (unless specifically asked to do so).

7. This is more of a side complaint (not a major one), but we literally never see any actual conversations take place between them. They occasionally address each other in one sentence, but it’s never anything more than that, which is odd. We see each of them have conversations with other characters, but not with each other. Yes, Harry's perspective is limited, but he's been around them together several times, and we’ve seen conversations take place between every other pairing in the books (like Remus x Tonks). I don't know; it not a big deal, but it just feels off to me.

That's just my interpretation though, and it's certainly based partially on my own experiences in life/relationships, so feel free to ignore it!

Thanks for the comment! 😊

Hey I know you're probably thinking of deleting that post so I wanted to preface by saying you don't have to post this or respond!

I get that feeling too, no matter how many different fandoms go to into or how big it is, I feel like I'm on the outside of. It's a bit easier for me cause I haven't posted any of my stranger things fics on tumblr, if I ever will. But you're my favorite author on here, hands down. I put notifications when you post just in case I miss anything you write even though I'm on your tag list. It probably doesn't help to hear that you're an amazing writer, but if you ever wanna rant about stranger things or bounce ideas I'd love to hear it!! I keep myself grounded in stranger things by reading fics and seeing artwork, but that's never enough to actually get myself to finish my fics for it haha

Sorry if this doesn't make sense or doesn't help, I just came out of a coma of a nap and I wanted you to know that it's totally fair to feel detached from a fandom, I can't even make myself speak in a discord server, everyone already knows each other

And this isn't like a pity ask either, if you wanted I would actually love to have someone to bounce my ideas off of and hear theirs!

i know i said i would delete it, but so many people have reacted to the post that i’ll just leave it there as my pathetic little version of i hear you, i see you, you’re not alone (which is inconsistent because being alone was quite literally the point in this but yknow i like to be proven wrong) 🤍

i knew for a fact that i wasn’t alone with this feeling of free floating on the vastness of content and community while being part of neither. but i didn’t expect that it was such a common feeling (ignoring the selection bias, which i won’t go into now). and that’s kinda crazy. kinda sad. the whole development of fandom culture and fandom spaces at large. but apparently that’s just how it is.

you’re my favourite author on here, hands down

god i’m gonna— 🥺 that’s crazy. i’m. kinda speechless. boggles my mind. i love how much you love that fic, at this point it’s yours.

thank you for this 🥺 i feel ungrateful mourning the lack of community when i have people like you in my ask box and in my notes, thank you 🤍 (and to everyone who reacted to the other post. again; i see too, i hear you. you’re not alone. 🌷🤍)

#nice people being nice #dio.txt #mama’d say the moral of the story is create your own community and maybe she’s right but she’s always been great at overlooking my trauma #i sound like an asshole and super ungrateful but i swear i’m not!! 🫶
