At the end of my latest TLT reread and it’s been physically painful attempting to read the last 40+ pages of Nona. Like, the short shrift that Gideon/Kiriona gets given by the people in the story…the theoretical good guys who honestly only see her as a thing, as a means to an end with an inconvenient dead soul attached to it… It makes me want to rip my own heart out of my chest.
Nobody has cared about Gideon her whole life. Most people, in fact, if they remembered about her at all, went out of their way to tell her how much they wished she didn’t exist. In the final chapters of Gideon, she finally gets the thing she’s been desperate for her whole life: somebody telling her that they need her, they care that she exists, and they badly want her to go on doing it. This allows her to make peace with the prospect that at the ripe old age of 18, she needs to die so that that person can go on living and living and living, using the castrated remnants of her soul as fuel to do so. Not a great way to go, but at least Gideon would get to be useful to somebody, would get to be remembered for something.
And then she wakes up in the wrong body, and finds out that her sacrifice - her attempt to be useful in the most selfless way possible, in that her self will no longer exist - has been rejected. And not only that, but the person she tried to give herself to - the one who was supposed to care about her - went to extreme lengths to make completely sure that she no longer remembered about Gideon.
She literally cut Gideon out of her brain.
And now, drifting along in the worst sort of half life where she’s inhabiting her body but it’s no longer really hers, in very obvious fashion - there’s holes in it, her heart is missing, and it’s got her shitty father’s handprints all over it (not even touching how much of a violation that is), indelibly - she finally meets back up with the small group of people who could theoretically be relied upon to be glad to see her again.
But then the one who was supposed to care about her most tries to kiss her (massively OOC for Harrow), and turns out to not even be there - it’s some weird baby inhabiting her body, and doing a really shit job of it too. The rest of them won’t stop talking about how they need her to break into the Tomb - as if she was just another key, same as the ones they worked together to acquire in Canaan House, just bigger and more inconvenient - and/or how they both fucked and killed her mom, who also (surprise, surprise) wished that Gideon had never existed, but saw her as a thing that needed to be done for the good of the mission.
Ultimately, they all make it abundantly clear - Palamedes, Camilla, Pyrrha, and especially Nona, all these people who are supposed to be kind and good and right - that they would prefer she wasn’t there. That it just be her body, with no Gideon attached - at least not Gideon the way she is now, broken and rejected and miserable. They would all far have preferred that she not have her own inconvenient thoughts and feelings and desires and impulses - that she just be inanimate and let the important people, the grown ups, get things done.
They wish she didn’t exist. Same as everybody else in her life, save one, and now she’s left wondering whether Harrow really meant it at all. Because if she did, she wouldn’t have left Gideon to Kiriona’s fate.
And honestly? Really, truly? I know everybody in the fandom loves Pal and Cam and Nona and Pyrrha, but in the end I couldn’t give less of a shit about them. They are fucking side characters, and as intriguing as Nona has been from a worldbuilding standpoint, I ultimately resent having been forced to read 400+ pages of filler bullshit about fucking side characters. I am a butch, and I’m here for my sarcastic, loving, angry, vulnerable, forgiving, and yes, inconvenient sword butch. I’m here for Gideon. But Gideon has been fridged for the last two books of the series in which she is supposed to be a, if not the, main character.
And it feels like almost nobody else in the fandom feels the same way, which, fine. I’m used to that. I’m also used to being told I’m projecting; and I’m used to being told that I’m inconvenient too, in my thoughts and my opinions and the mere fact of my existence. I spent the first eighteen years of my life being told I was inconvenient. Yet another point of overidentification with Gideon.
But in case anybody still thinks that Nona proves that Gideon was an asshole all along, think about all of the above. Think about how it would make you feel to come back from not just death but from the erasure of your existence, something you chose in order to save the life of someone you loved, and be told that you’re inconvenient. Think about how you’d feel if you’d been told all your life that it would be better for everyone if you didn’t exist. And then tell me that Kiriona isn’t in the right and that I should give a rat’s ass what happens to literally anybody else.
It’s Kiriona Hours up in this House, butches. We’ve spent long enough caring about people who would prefer we weren’t around. For once in our entire lives we were told we were important; we were told we mattered; we were told we were the main character. We were going to, if not get the girl and save the world, at least get to do something real, something important, something like being the hero.
But that’s over now; we’re back to being wrong and bad and inconvenient thanks to the simple fact of our existence. So it’s time to embrace it. Let’s be a little shit. Let’s be kind of a dick. Let’s have our own agenda, let’s play our cards close to our heartless chest, let’s allow our circle of empathy to contract to ourselves and maybe one more person. That’s where I’m at right now. And I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Now that the 60th anniversary specials are all out, I guess I'm gonna share my thoughts about them all, because it's the internet or whatever. Overall, I do think there's a lot of good in these specials. The fan service is absolutely there, but it's been done in a different way than some of the past special episodes, and it really acknowledges I think the many different kinds of Doctor Who fans, from the people who just watch the revived series (or even just bits and pieces of the revived series) to fans of Classic Who and even those of us crazy enough to get into the extended universe. I mean, featuring Beep the Meep and the Toymaker as your two Big Villains is both ridiculous and speaks to the nature of Doctor Who fans that we were all so excited for them. So. A lot of really nice things about these specials all around.
In The Star Beast, we got a really nice blend of nostalgia for the original Tennant era with new, interesting characters and a healthy amount of fan service towards Beep the Meep's half a dozen fans. Between those three things and RTD's obvious love letter to and heartfelt (if perhaps a little clunky) support of queer (and especially trans) people, it's easy to look past the episode's flaws; namely, that it's very light on the plot, and the handwavey bullshit that retcons Donna losing her memories completely undercuts the emotional heavy hitting of Donna losing her memories. You mean it was *always* that easy? Fuck right off.
Wild Blue Yonder really brought in, for me, more than a hint of Wilderness Years Who. The bottle episode slightly claustrophobic feel, the terrifying unexplainable Not-Things, the goddamn salt—I thought this story was the strongest in the set. I think RTD, like many writers, has a tendency to try and make things bigger and bigger and bigger, when really, his best stories tend to be like this. Consider Midnight as another example—brilliant, terrifying, and also very similar to some of the more experimental stories of the wilderness years. If I had a complaint about this story, it's that I would want it to play into more of the sense of sensory deprivation that stories like Midnight and Scherzo did. But honestly, that's a nitpick. It infuriates me a little bit—RTD likes to go in for some spectacle, as seen in The Star Beast and especially in The Giggle (and also the s3 and s4 finales, and also DT's regeneration story, and also and also and also)—but some of his best work is done when he doesn't allow himself the spectacle and instead really pares everything down to the barest of bare bones.
And, honestly? The Giggle was a bit of a letdown. There are so many ways you could bring the Toymaker into Who again, and he ended up sort of being an afterthought. Neil Patrick Harris was obviously having a grand old time in the role, which is great—so why not give him a little more to chew on? I thought there was a lot that was great—Donna and the Doctor in the Toymaker's domain, as an example. I think, building off of Wild Blue Yonder, coming back again and again to just how much the Doctor has been through and how that has affected them, was also a really nice thing to include, and something that I wish had been brought up more during Thirteen's run, because she really went through it.
But that also brings me to my biggest issue with The Giggle, and that is the way David Tennant's Doctor (Fourteen? TenThree? TenTeen?) has been written in a way that still is overshadowing Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor. This was honestly one of my biggest concerns as soon as Tennant's return was announced, and one of RTD's past issues in Who has been his chronic overshadowing of characters of color in favor of a white fan favorite. (Martha and Mickey both get this treatment.) The regeneration scene pissed me off in a way that I didn't think Doctor Who could piss me off—generally speaking, I'm pretty level-headed about most Doctor Who things because this show is ridiculous enough that you sort of have to just roll with it. I already adore Ncuti's Doctor (from his extremely limited amount of screentime), but I can't help but feel that he's been cheated out of a proper introduction because he had to share his limited screentime with David Tennant, the most popular Doctor to ever exist in the show's 60-year history. Likewise, because of this ridiculous Journey's End 2: This Time It's Stupider nonsense, I'm genuinely concerned RTD will randomly bring DT back for some fun multi-Doctor fanwanks, and sort of write all over the first Doctor of color's era with David Tennant. Not that that will happen (I certainly hope not, anyway), but the fact that he's leaving it open as an option already has me worried.
So. Yeah. Maybe I'm being harsher on RTD than I would otherwise be, because the nostalgia for having him back is so ridiculously high that it's driving me a little insane, or maybe these are genuine issues. I'm not upset that he's back, but these specials—and especially The Giggle—left me extremely wary that we're going to get the same exact issues that he brought to Who in his first run. Overall it'll be fine, and again, I did get a lot of enjoyment out of these specials! There's a lot about RTD's writing that is objectively both good and consistent. That doesn't mean I'm not holding my breath going forward.

False God
PAIRING: Kenny McCormick x Reader
SUMMARY: After hearing Kenny tell Stan and Kyle that he just wishes he could forget everything in middle school, you started to question how hard it was for Kenny regarding everything that happened between you.
GENRE: Fluff, a little bit of angst.
WARNINGS: Mentions of insecurities, depression. Suggestive.
WORD COUNT: 2.3k words
PART: 4 (series masterlist)
Tumblr media
“Can I ask you something, Kenny?” you have been debating whether you should bring up the topic again after the two of you talked it out that evening on the rooftop of the Park County Community Center building. For the past weeks, you and Kenny seemed to be inseparable. You were lying on his chest while he was hugging you.
Kyle and Stan couldn’t really blame you. They knew firsthand how everything affected you, so seeing you get as close as before was something they were happy about. They even dared to say you were more intimate than before, as if the two of you were scared of losing each other again.
“You know you can, princess,” Kenny responded.
“Before I continue, I just want you to know that it’s not that I just want to relive it over and over again, but I’m curious. A few days ago, I heard you, Stan, and Kyle talking, and you said you just wish you could forget middle school. Why did you say that? How did it affect you? I mean the fight in middle school” You were scared of his response. Maybe because, for you, he seemed to be better without you. Kenny stayed in silence for a moment.
“It was horrible.” you were surprised. If it was really horrible, as he was saying, he didn’t show it.
“Of course, I felt betrayed. It was weird and agonizing. The hard part was not being able to be close to you but also feeling so much anger towards you. I just wanted you to approach me and apologize. And believe me when I say I would have forgiven you instantly. Now I know you were clueless about the whole situation, but it angered me.” Kenny started to play with your hair.
“After middle school, I searched for you everywhere, hoping you would arrive and ask for a second chance. Maybe I should’ve done it too. But my pride was bigger.”
“If it helps, I also was hoping for the same. I searched everywhere for you. Hoping to see you just one more time, Kenny.”
“Really? I thought you just continued with your life like I wasn’t even part of it in the first place. I think I thought that because you just started to spend time with Kyle, as if it was the most normal thing. Like I was just something you could discard so easily.”
“God, I also thought that.” slowly, you started to feel guilty.
“Why would you think that, princess?”
“I thought you were better without me. You had Bebe and Red. You had the person you liked by your side. I thought that was enough for you.”
“I didn’t have the person I liked and loved by my side as you think, Y/N.”
“What do you mean, Kenny? You said Bebe was….” you stopped talking, piecing everything together.
“Remember what I told you when we were on the community building rooftop? That I thought we were going to be together someday? I thought that because I loved you, not Bebe.” You tried to remember when Kenny told you he liked Bebe in middle school. You were sure he said and confirmed he liked Bebe. “I told you I liked one of you. I never told you it was Bebe. That’s why I told you not to say anything to her because I never liked Bebe. I loved you.”
You were trying hard to process his words. It made you feel some type of way, a good way.
“You felt that way in middle school, or..?”
“Now that I think about it… I knew I loved you at a very young age. But I realized I was in love with you in 8th grade, but I might have been in love for years before I realized.”
“Oh…” everything started to make sense after his confession. All the time, Kenny got jealous when it came to Kyle. The compliments, the way he always told you he loved you. How could you be so blind? All those acts are something only a lover does. Not your best friend.
“That’s all you gonna say?” Kenny stopped caressing your hair. You sat down and moved your body, so now you were looking at him in the face.
“Why you didn’t tell me the truth, Ken?” Kenny sat on his bed.
“I was afraid of ruining our friendship. I was pretty sure you were madly in love with Kyle. Why risk everything if you didn’t feel the same?”
“But I was…. You should’ve told me.”
“And then what? Would you have been with me when I told you I was in love with you?” Kenny asked you. “You always talked about Kyle. I had no chance with you.”
“I never thought about an “us,” not because you didn’t love me but because you were out of my league. You always liked beautiful girls. They were perfect compared to me.”
“You are perfect. You were the one I wanted.” Kenny grabbed your cheek, and you closed your eyes at the contact. “Let me rephrase that. You’re the one I want.”
“But how was I supposed to know that?” you whispered. “You mentioned a new girl almost every week.”
“I did that because I thought I wouldn’t be with you how I wanted.” Kenny gulped. He was finally saying what he wanted to tell you for years.
“Still, you should’ve-”
“Told you? And then what? Princess, you weren’t in the right state of mind. And you also never showed any sign of you liking me that way. You even mentioned you never saw me that way. Remember?” Kenny’s thumb started to caress your cheek.
“Well yeah, but… Ugh.”
“Be honest. During all those years, you never considered the possibility of us as a couple? Not even one time?” Kenny was now grabbing both of your hands.
“There was this time when you went out with a girl a year older than us. When the girl said she wanted to go on a date with you, I felt this pain in my stomach. The mere thought of her hugging you, grabbing your hand, and kissing you, made me nauseous. I didn’t like that feeling, but I told myself maybe I felt that way because I got overprotective since you were like my brother.”
“Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t want me to go out with her? I was always pretty vocal when you told me something about Kyle. You could’ve said something.”
“Maybe it was just a way to lie to myself and accept the fact that we were never going to be together that way.” Kenny grabbed you by your hips and moved your whole body so now you were sitting on his lap.
“You asked me why I want to forget middle school. The answer is simple. I thought I lost you forever. Even if right now I have you in my arms after so many years, I thought you were gone. For years I continued with my life with this hole in my chest, wondering if maybe one day I would feel complete again. I lost the person that I loved the most. The person that was the most important in my life. There were times I just wished to wake up without remembering you. I was like I was living in hell. All the memories of you just never left. And it was horrible, not because of you, but because I didn’t have you anymore.” you started to cry at his confession, and Kenny hugged you.
“Hey, why are you crying, princess?”
‘It’s just that for years I always thought I didn’t matter to you. I just thought you were glad I was out of your life. It never crossed my mind you were also feeling the pain I was feeling. I feel bad now that I realize I was stupid enough to think the opposite of your feelings.” You covered your face with your hands as you were letting out a breath. “I’m sorry for thinking wrongly of you. I should’ve known better” Kenny hugged you and stroked your hair.
“It’s ok, princess. We both thought we were better without each other. We, fortunately, were wrong.” Kenny moved your body so he could see your face. “Can I ask you something?” Kenny questioned, and you only nodded while trying to calm down.
“Do you ever think of what could’ve been if we never fought in the first place?” you nodded.
“Honestly, I think it needed to happen, you know? I haven’t told you this, but after our fight, my parents started to worry for me for the first time in years. I never left my room, cried all day, and couldn’t sleep and eat properly for weeks. I think it was like a wake-up call for them. The way I see it, they realized they would lose another daughter if they didn’t do something as soon as possible. I mean, you do remember they barely treated me like their daughter.”
“You have no idea how happy it makes me feel to hear they finally started to act like the parents they were supposed to be.” you chuckled at his comment. “So you think that if our fight never happened, they would’ve never come around eventually?”
“If we never fought, I may not even be alive right now.” Kenny closed his eyes. That sentence hurt more than it was supposed to.
“Don’t…”
“I’m being honest, Ken. I didn’t even dare to think about the future. I really tried to imagine a future where you and I would be living together, but for a reason, I wasn’t able to even picture it. Every time I dared to think about it, everything went black.” Now Kenny was the one who was crying. It hurt him to know you didn’t think of the future he had planned back in the day. And it killed him to know you would’ve given up at any moment. You cleaned his tears with your sweatshirt sleeve and kissed him on his forehead, then on his eyes and cheeks, and gave him a final kiss on the tip of his nose.
“Hey, open your eyes, please,” you put your forehead against his and looked into those beautiful blue eyes. “Wanna know why I also think all of this needed to happen?” Kenny nodded slowly, never breaking contact with you.
“You see how people say you don’t know what you have until it’s gone? Or how they also say if you love somebody, set them free, and if they come back, they’re yours? We needed to lose each other to realize how much we meant to each other. I will put it this way. Out of everything that happened, you and Bebe remained friends, right?” Kenny nodded again. “But now you barely talk. What if that happened to us? What if, for the first months, we tried to maintain our friendship, but maybe as the months passed, we just stopped being as close as we were?”
“But that’s different. You and I have been friends since the first grade. Bebe and I were friends for only three years.” Kenny pouted, and you smiled.
“Well yeah, but we learned something now that we went through all this. One, we need to trust each other more. Two, don’t listen to people and then just jump to conclusions. At least we need to hear each other’s point of view. And three, We saw how our lives were without each other. And I’m sure now those years were horrible. I don’t want to lose you. I knew how important you were to me, but not having you for years made me realize life’s not worth living if you are not by my side Kenny.” Kenny was looking at your eyes. He grabbed you by the waist, trying to get you as close as possible.
Kenny wrapped his arms around your waist, and you wrapped yours around his neck. You were right. Now that he knew how life was without you, he was more than sure he would’ve preferred to disappear before going through it again.
“I love you, Y/N,” you heard Kenny say. Your heart warmed up. It was the first time he told you he loved you after years. The last time you listened to him say those words was on a video he recorded.
“I love you, Kenny” The two of you knew those words had different meanings now. You now loved each other, not in the friendly/familiar way both of you tried to come with when you were younger. Those words were now filled with fear of losing each other. With feelings, you never thought you would be able to admit to each other.
Kenny was now looking at your lips, and you gulped. His hand slowly reached your cheek as his thumb ghosted your lips. His other arm was still wrapped around your waist. You were also looking at his lips when you heard him clear his throat, making you look into his eyes. You didn’t need him to ask you the question. You simply nodded, and that was when Kenny connected your lips.
The kiss was desperate, as if the two of you had been craving it for years now. You grabbed Kenny by his neck, trying to bring him as close as possible. Kenny was also trying to get you closer by the waist. You and Kenny smiled into the kiss. The two of you were waiting for something like this to happen, and it was perfect. It was as if the two of you were made for each other.
Your tongues were in this quest of remembering the taste of each other. Your body slowly started to get hotter, wanting more. Of course, there’s one point where you need to breathe properly so you break the kiss. You saw how Kenny started to follow your body, and you smiled and stopped him. You licked your lower lip and gave him a quick peck.
“You know I’ve been dying to kiss you for god knows how long, princess?” Kenny started to give you small kisses on the lips, making you laugh.
“Lucky us then. We have the rest of our lives then, baby.”

So i watched episodes 3 to 8 of Pahkitew Island
Again, watched these with my buddy @rockin-it-rusty! And, holy shit these episodes have got me genuinly wondering why Pahkitew's so hated.
I'll go over the negatives first; the challenges are kinda eh. The Truth or Scare one is great, and the cave one is interesting due to it's hints at the Fake Island reveal (as heavy handed as they were), but most of these were just pretty out there to me? They mostly felt like an excuse to put the characters in situations mostly. Just have Topher make a narration joke, give Max and Scarlett an interaction, have Sky and Dave dance around eachother all due to a thing the challenge made them do. I don't mind the first two much, but the last one gets super repetitive man. Glad they mixed it up a bit by making Shawn try to wingman Dave though, i like their friendship! im a bigger dashawn shipper now oops
ANYWAYS IMA TALK ABOUT THE CHARACTERS NOW BECAUSE LET'S BE HONEST, THE CHARACTERS CARRY THE SHOW!
Amy... Ok im very mixed on her. On one hand, she serves her role as the mean twin relatively well. But on the other, that's all she really is! Her one trait is being mean and hating her sister, and that's all she really does! Granted she has a thing? Where she gets sayings (?) wrong, or just gets words wrong (she says parfait is german. it's french. i would know) which! could hint at something! (maybe less smart than her sister?) but they don't do shit with her outside of her swimming back to the island in episode 5. god i wanna rewrite this season so badly now to give her a bigger role. idk shoutouts to Twinning with a Twist for redeeming her while still giving her some edge ig.
Rodney. i uh
I haven't thought about him since his elimination honestly. I just doooooon't care about him it's crazy. Most forgettable guy in the entire series.
Sammy! Ok back to the siblings rambles! I wish the show leaned into her scheming more. Girl in five episodes pulled identity theft and did nothing else. Why. Her relationship with Jasmine is adorable, and i wish she got Jasmine to call her by her actual name, and a personality too! It's really a shame man :(
Sidenote, but like her team fucking hated her for some reason??? Like what. I know it's because of that one scene, but really?
Ella!! My sweet girl Ella!!! She didn't do anything wrong man she just likes singing leave her alone!!! Chris really fucking hates her and it's pretty entertaining at least, but i'd say his beef with Topher's funnier. She has a nice singing voice, and i love how passionate she is about fairytales and stuff. You could do so much with the Prince thing and the show... didn't. Like what even was that. Conflict that wasn't one that lasts an episode. what
Gotta say though, her elimination was fucking ass, Max 100% should've been kicked instead of her.
Topher. Ah the opher. He's a special case, even in the context of Pahkitew Island itself! Because the dude's not here for the game. He's here to meet his idol, Chris Mclean (he really knows how to pick em, huh). I like the progression he's got, from wanting his approval to straight up wanting to host the game instead of him. I'll admit, my opinion's a little skewed since i am mutuals with the Topher guy on Tumblr, but i like him regardless!
His relationship with Chris is easily one of the more interesting parts of the season, mostly because a 30-something year old dude having beef with a teenage fan is hilarious, and you could definitely spin it in a sad way from Topher's perspective.
It also helps that he's genuinely funny! His few interactions with the other campers are also pretty fun, he dgaf about them it's great.
Im kind of mixed on Dave, i'll be real. On one hand, im glad they ditched the whole "he doesn't like anyone on this Island" trait three episodes in because that would've gotten. SO ANNOYING. SO FAST. (hell i'd argue it was already annoying), and him being a hopeless romantic could be a fun trait, if done right. It also helps that he's really pathetic and i find that funny. His friendship with Shawn's fun too!
But on the other hand... Yeah, even before the finale the Skave plotline's really boringgg. They just dance around eachother for half the season for like! No reason! Please just have a conversation, even if it takes other people to sit them down to have it! I know why they didn't because the finale needed them to not actually talk about it but at least have Sky tell him she'll explain later or have him not be a coward and ask her about it himself!!! ack!!
Also the thing with him and Ella went literally nowhere. I have 0 feelings about it because it's just there for some reason. Idk they just really wanted to shoehorn in romance for every girl this season huh.
Scarlett's a really underutilized character pre-Island reveal. The bulk of her interactions with the other campers are with Max, who has a ton of screentime for some reason (which i don't personally really mind but i'll explain later) which honestly sucks because she's a fun character! I want to compare her to Twilight Sparkle at the very start of MLP. She's smart, she knows it, she can communicate with her teammates just fine and just chooses not to usually. I like her alot! Im just... really disapointed that she's so in the background usually; if anyone's a wasted character in tdpi, outside of the Twins i'd say it's her.
Her legit wanting to kill Max is great though. That's how i'd react to him irl. Don't get the Max saying she had a crush on him three episodes in, or the quip Chris made during the team switching tho.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, MAX! I swear, i was convinced i'd find this guy annoying pre-watch but uh... I like this guy! No really, i do! He's like Mal, only the narrative doesn't take him seriously in the slightest and it's hilarious to watch! Im like Sugar in that one clip, i am laughing at this buffoon's intelligence, and his stupid catchphrase, and his "evil" plans, and his general delivery! Max is funny!
Even when the Scarlett "minion" thing kicked in i still found him funny! Don't get me wrong, i wish he'd gotten out earlier (ESPECIALLY when he was supposed to get kicked in the episode Ella got eliminated into) or just gotten less screentime in general, but in the season proper, yeah he's a funny guy! Big gimmick, but i like him! Please don't add nuance to him, i don't care
Jasmine... certaintly exists! I'd call her the Season's rock, the one character that's emotionally intelligent on the show. She's fun in general, and also the only one noticing things going wrong with the robotic island. As said before, her relationship with Sammy is great to see, and i wished we'd see more of her and Sky's friendship and uh. For there to be more between her and Shawn? Because the only things i've retained is that they blushed at eachother once and then trust issues party because he hit her once during a challenge and that completely broke her trust in him - which, could be an interesting aspect of her character to explore since if that's all it took for her to pull a 180 on Shawn, the girl must have a complicated relationship with trust. That's an interesting flaw! It also shows up with her rapport in Sky in the later episodes of this batch, and. GOD. I wish it was developped man!
The issue? Yeah it's dragged on so longggg man! It's frustating to watch frankly because i really wish they'd resolve this conflict quicker since it's like. The same thing every episode :( to my knowledge it's solved in episode 9, but it did NOT need to be dragged out for 4 episodes.
Unrelated to her charater, but her height difference with the other campers is kind of ridiculous. In some shots the characters look so small compared to her it's crazyyy
Ok, now. Sugar. I'll be honest? She's great! She's just a menace and doing her own thing and it's fun to watch! She's also interesting in terms of backstory since she's canonically a pageant queen; her relationship with Ella is greatly impacted by this, since she heavily suspects her of lying to her face when it's just. Ella being Ella. Similar thing to her opinion on Topher; she doesn't like him for his sucking up to Chris, the host (something that Rusty probably agrees with). I fucking wish she was more popular because then people would look into her more, but alas. She's a female, plus sized character in Pahkitew Island, so considering the Fandom's biases, it was never going to happen. U_U
OK TIME FOR ZOMBIE BOY. So, Shawn. He's definitely more present in these episodes than he was before, and, again, i think he's fun! He's a weird little guy. He's got interesting skills (his camouflage, legit parkour, general athleticism) and his personality's interesting as well compared to the other guys. The zombie thing is fine, actually, because they do different things with it over the course of these episodes. Not much to say about him, he's a solid character to me and i wish he had more interactions with the cast outside of Dave and his pining for Jasmine. Who he's talked to like, five times at this point? Again, they probably should've talked stuff out faster than this for me to actually enjoy it. Oh well.
And finally, Sky. She's an interesting case for me? She's fine, mostly. She's the Normal Person™️ of the cast to me, and that means she really struggles to grab me. It's made worse by her main plot being a basic romance plot where the gimmick is that she's a reasonable human being and Dave isn't. And neither are able to have a normal fucking conversation about it either. The mixed signals thing could've been interesting, but this is Fresh TV writters, so of course it didn't end up that way. I assume the episodes without Dave are the ones where her personality shines more? Because so far she's just been really reserved and calm. And said she'd "focus on the competition only" And then. Doesn't. Really. God i wish this season treated it's female characters better :(
OK SO OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Im mixed on alot of the character decisions
god i wished these people talked more
the screentime is not well split among the cast
the romance plots and pacing of the Island plot are the weakest parts of this season
the challenges are fine
Why does Chef have 5 lines total.
Pahkitew Island does NOT deserve the overly negative rep it gets in this Fandom, at least based on the first 8 episodes.

Hello Sunshine Part. 2
Tumblr media
Alright everyone! Here is part. 2! I’m happy that everyone is enjoying this! It means so much to me! 
And I know I promised smut, and its coming!
Summary: Y/N and Dani are close to getting Lloyd back, and meanwhile...
Lloyd is still getting his ass kicked, for not telling where his wife is. 
Lloyd Hansen x Assasin Reader Y/N Hansen. 
Warnings:  There is slight punching, cursing in this chapter. 
Before I leave, I just wanted to thank the following: 
@princessofdarkwinter for always letting me talk about my ideas and being my main beta! love you babe!
@afriendlyblackhottie and because shes’s awesome and I love her! Thank you babe!
@maroonsunrise83 just being you and letting me give you sneaky peeks.
Series Masterlist
The ride to Lyon was long and tiring. You drove the first half, and Dani took over the rest of the way. You video called your aunt to check on your two children. They were smiling and having fun, not knowing what had happened to their father. Daisy had her two bottom teeth showing, and you lost it. You wished you were there, but you had a job to do, and that was to bring their father home.
Your five-month-old Daisy was getting bigger, and her features were starting to look more like you.
"Y/N?" You heard Dani call for you, disrupting your thoughts.
"Yes?" You answered.
"I've been meaning to ask you since I've been afraid to ask-"
You knew what she was going to say, and you sighed.
"Why Lloyd?" You answered.
"I mean, yeah, I don't want to sound like a bitch because I still cannot see why you do love him-"
"Dani, it's fine. I get this question all the time. Especially Fitz." You said.
"Even Fitz too?" Dani asked, and you nodded.
"Yes, even him. Anyways to answer your question, it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns. Lloyd wasn't as big of an asshole five years ago. " You started.
"I find that hard to believe," Dani said, laughing.
"I know, right? On a scholarship, Lloyd was a football player for Harvard in Boston. And I was a double major in business and strategy. I was forced to come to a birthday party at a bar one night, and that's where I met him."
"Ahh, yes, I remember that night. But I didn't know that's when you met Lloyd." Dani said.
"Yea, but nothing came out of it until Suzanne the next day at one of our classes came up to me and started talking shit. Lloyd came to rescue me."
"Oh, I see."
"Yea, but you know Suzanne never liked me because I was the quiet one, and I did better than her. She was the party girl."
"Yea, I know. Didn't she almost destroy you?"
"Yeah, she almost did. Suzanne accused me of cheating on the finals. I proved her wrong, and I was able to graduate. Lloyd has been trying to get me to go out with him during that time. And I always turned him down, until one day, I came home to my doorway full of flowers." You said, smiling at the thought.
"Let me guess, and you finally caved?" Dani asked.
"Yes, I did cave. You said. And the rest is history."
"Yea, what about him getting kicked out of the CIA? Wouldn't that have damaged your relationship with him?"
"Yea, it could have. But I loved him too much. He even asked me to break up with him. And I said no, just because we do things differently, and his anger issues? I still see the Lloyd that I love. And that was it for him."
"I still can't believe you guys. He's put you through hell, and still, you love him. You even left him." Dani said in disappointment.
"I know, people will think I'm an idiot for returning to him. But he proved to me that he was sorry. He loves his kids, and I can't take that away. Before he left for Prague, something in him snapped, and he became the man I fell in love with." You said with a long sigh.
"Just be thankful. I still love you." Dani said, turning towards you and smiling.
"And thank you for that. I know it's not easy being with me, but I thank you for all you've done and believing in me and always looking out for me." You said.
"Look, I know Lloyd, and I don't see eye to eye because he works in the private sector and does things that I disagree with, but I can see his love for you. He's a different person when you're around or when your name is mentioned." Dani said.
"Alright, enough with the sap. You asked. What do we know about Suzanne? The last time I spoke to her, she said Lyon. That's where we are going. Did you get any more information?"
"Well, I know Suzanne is staying somewhere in the city. And she has men with her at all times." Dani said. You sighed and leaned back.
"She and Denny have an apartment close to the city center. It's the top floor." You said.
Dani looked towards you. "Wait, you know this?"
"Yea, I know this because I've been there when Lloyd and I were on vacation." 
**
"Suzanne, I just want to know... why in the fuck is it hard to get it out of him or to track down his precious little wife?!"
"Look, getting Lloyd wasn't easy, okay! But with the wife? Do you know she's even harder to get? It's why she's the Black Cat. She's invisible and impossible to kill."
"Suzanne, have you thought about the kids?"
"Yes and the answer to that is no. I know it’s Y/N’s weakness and the same for Lloyd. But I refuse to get children involved in this mess. This is between us and them, not the children. I'll get it out of him one way or another. You have my word." Suzanne said and hung up the phone.
Her thoughts went to Denny, her companion, and her love. She wished that he was here and to guide her. Yes, they were always against each other, but that was the beauty of their relationship.
The day you put that stunt in Berlin, minutes before Denny died in front of her, she promised him that she would bring you down.
And that's what she's going to do. Lloyd may be strong, but she will find a way to get the intel out of him and finally get you out of the way.
**
"Jesus!" Lloyd yelled as his eyes shot wide open to see that one of Suzanne's minions stood over him. His cheek burned from the slap on his face.
"That hurt!" Lloyd growled, and the man laughed. Lloyd blinked a few times and tried to see who was in front of him.
"You know, I could go on. But like what the old man said, we need you alive. So when your wife comes, we can get the intel from both of you and we will then have fun getting to kill both of you." The man said. Lloyd bit the side of his cheek and blinked a few times to get a clear image. Once things went clear, Lloyd noticed that it was Sierra Four.
Rolling his eyes, Lloyd sighed and smiled.
"Sierra Four, right?" Lloyd asked, winking. Four groaned and put pressure onto Lloyd's wound on his hand.
"Yes, that's me. Suzanne sent me, to  you know, knock some sense into you. You know where to find your wife. Now tell me where she is, and you will live." Four said.
"Suzanne, I know you're watching! The hell I would tell you about her whereabouts, even if I knew. I still won't tell you!" Lloyd yelled, knowing that she was watching.
"Oooph-" Lloyd moaned as he got punched in the stomach and Suzanne stabbed him in the shoulders.
"We can keep going, Lloyd Hansen. You know, your wife is hard to find. That's why you're here." Four said, grabbing Lloyd by his collar.
"Sierra Four, convicted murder at a bar in Florida? Fitz picked you up, trained you, and Six? Then both of you went to mia and started working in the private sector. How's that going for you?"
"Why are you asking-"
"Because you, my friend, can't even do your job right. You made a fatal error in Thailand that almost killed you and Six. So that's why you're here." Lloyd mocked.
Four glared at Lloyd, then let go of his shirt. Lloyd watched as he placed his hands on his hips and turned around.
"What's the matter, Four? Did I hit something? Because I can go on and on, you know, I know all about why you went to prison and did what you did. Just like Six, you killed your father because-"
Before he could finish, Four growled and laid a punch towards Lloyd but was able to dodge his punch, and Lloyd threw his head forward and smashed his nose.
"The fuck Lloyd!" Four yelled as he stumbled back holding his face.
"Alright, that's enough!" Lloyd heard Suzanne's annoying voice emerging from the background. Lloyd looked to the corner to see Suzanne walking with her minions.
"Oh, nice of you to show up, Suzanne," Lloyd said, smiling.
"Four get out, the rest of you, untie him and bring him upstairs."
"Ooo! Are we going on a field trip, Mrs. Brewer?" Lloyd asked like he was a five-year-old.
"Yea, to get you patched up. The old man wants to see you." Suzanne said and walked out of the room.
**
Just an hour ago, Suzanne and her minions left the apartment building and headed out. Stretching your tired muscles, you looked at your computer screen, watching for any movement. With the tracking device that Dani could put in the car, she was scoping out earlier.
So far, the car is still traveling. But something had caught your attention. A black van that was following Suzanne's car. You looked at the images and noticed someone getting pushed into the vehicle.
With each image, you put the pieces together. You noticed a white and dark blue button-up shirt, blue pants, blue loafers, and his hair slicked back. The image was a bit blurry, but that was him. Your heart stopped, and you knew who it was.
Your hand touched the screen, and a small tear came down your face.
"I'm coming, asshole. You whispered. Your sunshine is coming."
Beep
Your phone buzzed, distracting you from your thoughts. You looked down to see that it was from Dani. You picked it up and placed it on the speaker.
Y/N: Anything yet?
Dani: Well, I'm glad you asked because the footage you see now? It's delayed by 20 minutes. I'm at the castle-"
Y/N: The Château de Chantilly. That's where Denny and Suzanne do their dirty work. Their dealings with diplomats kill and torture their victims. Dani, Lloyd is-
Dani: I know. I saw him getting out of the car. He looks pretty bad.
Y/N: Fuck! Okay, I'll meet you there tomorrow morning. Did you need anything? Food, clothes?
Dani: Yes, mom! And tomorrow I will meet with Margaret. She will give us the supplies we need.
You smiled at her comment, knowing you have that motherly instinct just because you're a ruthless assassin.
Y/N: That sounds good. Stay safe, Dani, and I'll see you tomorrow.
After you hung up, you got up and headed towards the bedroom. Turning on the lights, you looked around the room and landed on what you were looking for. In front of you was something you hadn't seen since becoming a mother.
Walking towards the bed, you ran your hands around the outfit. Black leather pants, a tank top with the belt that holds as many weapons as possible, and your beloved stiletto black Louboutin Heels.
According to Lloyd, your outfit makes his dick hard.
Then looking to the side were two black boxes—one with your name and one that belonged to Lloyd. You went to Lloyd's and opened it. There laid his beloved gun, Desert Eagle, with a silencer. It was a gift from you, on your anniversary of being married. You laughed at that thought, thinking of how in the world you married Lloyd.
Yes, you saw something in him, that no one knows. A good father, best sex you ever had, and how smart he is.
You quickly closed it and sighed. Then heading back to the living room, you went to grab your phone and searched for a specific number. Once you found it, you dialed the number, and it picked up on the second ring.
"Wendy's Cafe and Pastries. How can I assist you?"
"Are strawberries in season?"
"They are, with sweet pastry cream. Is there an order you like?"
"No, just wondering. Margaret, I need a favor."
"Anything, what is it?"
"I have some intel on two assets, more like a few more. And I need you to leak it.”

I love your Dream x Hob posts so much, there is not a whole lot of them around here :(
I wanted to ask you, since I’ve been curious and no one around me really ships those two (cry) can we agree, in between us and whoever wishes to confirm, that the ear touch Hob makes after they’re done fighting against Lady Johanna and her dummies is the equivalent to hair twirling? As in is the equivalent to flirting? Besides just asking him to find another bar right after that (or before, can’t remember correctly)… My point is, my boy Hob was totally head over heels by this time, and I will not accept no for an answer, but! I wanted to know if like, it’s just me seeing things, this ship has me bad lmao.
-🏴‍☠️anon
Ahh thank you so much!!
I love reading and reblogging posts about them, and I want to make more gifsets, but theres not enough of Hob in the series so far 😭 I hope he will be there more in s2, bc with the way they're setting it up, it seems like he will be even bigger part of Dream's life from now on.
When Tom described how the show isn't really about Dream being a hero or main character of the story, but it being more about stories of the people and their dreams, it seems really important how they brought Hob and Dream's backstory as something very personal for Dream- specifically Dream learning how to keep this one important friendship,(and we can hope maybe something more, if they will have the foundation of trust and friendship first)!
And you're absolutely right about that ear touch during the 1789 part. I think Hob could have slowly realize how special this relationship was, because even through his lowest points before, Dream was still interested in him, in learning more, in seeing him. Hob was probably already in love! At least that's what I'm gonna believe!!
Tumblr media
And I feel this part was also Hob putting together the pieces, what this all means to Dream, and trying for Dream to stay longer.
But it was Dream who didn't stay, and in the next meeting, 1889, Hob had it figured out already - Dream wanted (needed) their friendship, he was lonely, and he did slowly changed. But Dream wasn't ready to hear it and wasn't ready to accept Hob's full love and what it would mean for them both.
And yet Hob kept believing Dream would return, so he kept the tavern and possibly built The New Inn just beside it, waiting for his return.
And it's sad we didn't get to hear anything from their present day reunion 😔 but even Hob's words of 'You're late.' speak so much - his full trust in knowing Dream would return and so he was waiting for him; and Dream having had a LOT of time to think about his relationship with Hob and decided to apologize and acknowledge that, yes, they're friends.
Tumblr media
I just can't wait to see what happens between them next, and I definitely believe in 'Hob fell first but Dream fell harder' !!
Thanks for the ask 🏴‍☠️anon 💖💖💖

Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask (Answered)
I"m not even gonna wait for anyone to ask bcuz this bitch is gonna answer them NOW
I wait for no one 😤
Keep reading if you wanna see my answers!
I nominate @xxsabitoxx, @magoliaomega, @yurmomsawh0r, and all my other writer moots to answer all these as well, CUZ I WANNA KNOW WAT YALL HAVE TO SAY
😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?
All of my old Doushino fics lmao, I like the base storyline I did for all of them, but my writing was so shitty back then and I cringe looking back at them now. Ireally really wish I could just rewrite them but Ik some people would literally shit their pants if i deleted them so im stuck
🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?
I have a kink for apology/angst scenes haha, if couldn't already tell from my past works. It's just something that I feel everyone thrives for, especially myself, where the love interest apologizes for all their wrong doings and admits that they long for yn's forgiveness and love. Mama is a heart throb
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
Any scene with shinobu in my Gamer Giyu fic "The Perfect Date". I tried to make her as funny as possible in that one, and believe me, there were plenty more funny moments of her in my draft for that fic that I ended up having to cut out bcuz I felt it drew away from the plot too much. Oh how I wish to make a fic just for her lol
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?
I like to make the love interests assholes sometimes, just to piss you guys off hehe, everytime they do something shitty that makes you hella sad, just know that it was me 😈
✍ Do you have a beta reader?
I don't unfortunately, I kinda just go read over it myself a couple times to check for mistakes but thats pretty much it. Ngl lie though, I am kinda interested in having someone else proofread for spelling mistakes and plot holes, any takers 👀 preferrably someone who's talented with that sort of thing haha
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
I always enjoy a good simile and metaphor here and there, not really sure about themes... love at first sight maybe? enemies to lovers? tsundere? I like sad fics as well that have happy endings, I will never, ever do a completely sad ending, i just don't like them and they leave a bad taste in my mouth
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
Dog, I dont even knooooooooooow, i think all of my fics are pretty straight forward and tame. Maybe Regrettable? All of my super crazy fics are still in production so we'll just wait and see, but for drafts rn, my "No Escape" (Sanemi x Reader) series is gonna be hella crazy, so just you wait
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
My fav thing about my writing is probably my dialogue, i think I write pretty appropriate dialogue. I try my damn hardest not to make the characters cringe and to make them relatable so I hope I've done a good job with that
💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?
Ngl, I kinda hate them. Kissing is nice and all but i write smut yall, i got bigger things to worry about than smooching. Now virginity loss fics are a whole nother story, bcuz i can actually make it enjoyable unlike real life 😭 Shitty first time gang arise ✊
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
Nope, I bask in silence, maybe some white noise in the background sometimes? Music distracts me too much
🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?
I use my notes app on my phone to make my outlines, google for thesaurus, and an online word counter for the final word count
⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?
Yup, for those who remember, I was working on a fic called Night and Day about Kyo x stepsister reader who was living with him. Originally I had him as a yandere, obsessive person with reader being uninterested in him and the fic being non-con, but I ended up scrapping the whole thing and changing it to be a fluff fic with reader living with kyo, reader having a crush on him, and slowly the two grow closer, with tons and tons of angst and sadness. The original outline for the non-con fic is on my patreon if anyone would like to see the poor thing, it had 8 chapters outlined too haha. what a waste.
🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
Only 1 ☝️ I'm pretty sure i've mention her before, my friend sam? We used to read a ton of fanfics and watch anime growing up so she's the only person i've ever told since she understands the field, and i am never gonna tell anyone else 😭I would literally die, my group at college doesn't even watch anime
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
Either Perfect Date or Regrettable
🍷 Do you drink and write?
Hehe no, I do smoke and write sometimes though
🍆 Do you write the spicy stuffs? If so, what's your most popular nsfw fic?
My Little One if I remember correctly
🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?
I usually like to write at night after I've finished all of my hw, right before bedtime :)
💖 What made you start writing?
I had a ton of idea for fics but didn't want to spend my days requesting all of them so I just wrote them myself, I write so much shit already for school, so I just said fuck it, lets ball
💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?
I thrive off of them ❤️‍🔥 I frame every single comment on my wall ngl
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
Cheating. Not sure if thats a trope but i kinda feel it is in some fics where reader or love interest cheats, the one who got cheated on gets revenge sex with another party, and then they get back together. I just hate it and it hurts my feeling and turns me off
💲 Would you ever open commissions?
Of course! After I finish all of my requests I'm gonna get that started hopefully and use the money to buy hot figurines 🥵
🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?
Sometimes, it depends on the fic. I usually just look up time period stuff so that things are close to accurate
🏆 What's your most popular fic?
My Little One
🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?
I love halloween fics, they are scarily hot
🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?
YUP, @magoliaomega has perfectly written part 2 for two of my fics, reading her gifts is so eerie bcuz they were exactly wat i would've wanted for the sequel and I love her for for it, she is literally god
🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories?
I've never gotten any but I would love to, fan art is awesome
📈 How many fics do you have?
Uhhhh like 20 I think?
🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?
I usually outline but I'm kinda thinking ab stopping bcuz my best fics were written without any preparations so well see.
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
Girl Imma talk about I'm Yours, my upcoming series ab alpha kyo and omega fem reader. I am sosososoosososossosos excited for this one yall have no idea. I've already mapped out the chapters and plot and everything. Im currently working on chapter two and just cant wait to get this shit done so i can post everything. I'm just excited to add to the very small pile of kny omegaverse fics and hopefully the series will inspire more abo creations for demon slayer. Another work I'm excited ab is a collab im doing with a fellow bestie 😏 I wont name any names or say wat the fic is ab but hopefully well get the fic done sometime next year, really excited to work with her on this!
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
I would start off with headcannons, then short scenes, then one-shots, then multi-chapter. I went backwords from this list and i wish i didnt haha. theres nothing wrong with doing it out of that order of course, I just think its the best way to build up skill and get a hang of things. Also dont be afraid to take breaks! burning urself out will lead to depression babes
💞 Who's your comfort character?
Shinobu ❤️ she was the first girl I wrote for in demon slayer and she's always held a special place in my heart
🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.
Can't really answer this one lmaoooooo, so ill choose a random headcannon I have, Shizu taught Sanemi how to cook and he always helped her make meals for the family
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
Kyojuro, my love. He is so pure, I wanna suck the soul outta him
🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?
Mitsuri was obviously upset.
One day was fine. Two was pushing it. Three was a little concerning. Four was a lite search. Five was thorough detective work. And six was a breakdown. By day seven, today, she was still bawling in her pillow, wondering where-oh-where you’d gone. 
Meanwhile, you hardly had time to worry about your concerning absence with a dragon on you at all times of the day. During the rare moments you weren’t getting knotted or eaten out, you were getting bathed, fed, or hushed to sleep. Similar to Kanroji, you too were sobbing into your bedding - but your reason being your cunt getting ravaged hourly. The pleasure was still incredibly mind-blowing, but your pussy was so fucked raw and puffy that you were sore beyond belief from the mating session. You had misunderstood that section in the book. You’d thought a week-long initial rut meant only occasional couplings, like a sort of honeymoon phase.Nope. Every waking moment was spent hanging off his knot and getting filled to the brim with his seed. Hereallywanted babies. And he was likely going to get them, even if it wasn’t your fertile week. You doubted his sperm would take no for an answer, honestly...
“Are you tired, my love?”
You moaned as he pulled on the lock and replied in a cracked voice. “Ye-eess.”
With one more tug, his knot was pulled free. You came painfully one final time before a flood of spunk gushed down your legs. Kyojuro flipped you over to your back and set you down onto the part of the nest that wasn’t caked in sin.
He kissed your forehead as you panted. “Our rut is done, little one. You did wonderfully, I’m so proud - you may rest now,” he whispered and laid next to you. You sighed and groaned, “Finaallyyyy.” He chuckled.
“Tomorrow we will bring your things here and anything else you may need. Your friends and family will understand, I’m sure.” You eyes shot open and you remembered them.
“Oh my god!”
Lil snippet from My Sweet Kitten (Mitsuri x Dragon Iguro) My Little One Part 2 hehe
😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?
Any of my non-con lmao, I think they would kill me tbh, but I heard that kinks were hereditary so this is their fault
🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?
If people ask for a part 2, even though I wont write one hehe
✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?
Breeding kink, I have needs. Also pet names (baby, sweetheart, my love, darling, princess, ect)
📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?
Maybe as a side career, I'm not getting a degree in my field of study just to write smut all day lmaooo, i enjoy having writing as my hobby and dont want to have it bare the burden of being my main source of income, it would stress me too much
⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter?
It depends honestly, if I'm really inspired and horny, it takes less time. My Little One took me only 3 days to write cuz i was so pent up haha, requests take longer tho bc i have a specific plot and terms to stick to, along with anxieties about whether or not the requester will approve wat i've produced, so those usually take me a couple weeks to a month
🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?
Action. That shit is hard. I don't think i could ever write a fight scene ever
💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?
Not the ones i have currently but the ones i have in the works are extremely heartbreaking, i cried a little writing some of them
💥 How do you feel about criticism?
It depends on the type of criticism. I appreciate it if its about errors in my writing since i still have some growing to do in that department. But there has been some drama ab the things I write ab that people find...distasteful. If you don't like what I write ab, leave, dont waste my time pretending to be a mutual, I write for me not you. Some of yall have some real mean girl mentalities and need to grow tf up, this isn't fucking highschool. Im glad for thei experience tho bcuz it's taught me how to deal with negative people better. On the more constructive side of things tho, if you see errors like plotholes, devices, or grammar in my fics, please tell me! I miss shit sometimes and appreciate the help to better my work
🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?
#Smut. LMFAOOO
🥰 How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?
I looooove reader interactions! I wanna know what people think and what they would like to see next. I also love requests but I've learned that they are harder than they look lmao. I just worry ab disappointing readers sometimes. I want you guys to enjoy it too!

Scream (1996)
Smoking: Splatter
So today definitely needed to be a review day. The holidays are coming up. That painful time of having to see family that you don’t want to. And putting on that face of “oh I’m happy to be here” instead of the inner turmoil of, I hate you all and wish I was at home smoking a BIG FAT BLUNT. But here we are.
Tumblr media
Decided to do one of my favorite series Scream!
Ironic that I’m smoking out of a bowl I named splatter when we are about to see blood splattered. LOL. Sorry couldn’t resist.
Opening is with Drew Barrymore, Casey. I never really understood why she was in this movie. I felt like she could have been a bigger part than just the first death. I’m probably going to give away this movie. I don’t care. It has almost been out for 30 years, if you haven’t seen it yet your fault, get MAX and watch it lol.
Ironic that DB’s favorite movie is about a killer in a white mask stalking a person. When that is literally what is happening to her. Granted she’s not a babysitter, but still. And then she burns the popcorn... not cool.
Tumblr media
Haha, big Sony TV that is on Channel 3. You know she was about to play a movie in the VCR. FLASHBACK 🤣
How has the fire alarm not gone off yet? The kitchen is full of smoke and the Jiffy Pop is literally on fire…maybe they took out the batteries because they needed to be changed and it was making that annoying ass sound 😂 oh there it is. Finally goes off after her parents get home. It so would have gone off sooner. Those things are annoying AF.
You would so need so much therapy after seeing your daughter strung up from a tree dead with her entrails just flowing to the ground.
SO a 90s film when you see Courtney Cox in a lime green/yellow skirt suit. Like you’d see that from space 😂
Love that Henry Winkler is in this movie. He’s so great ❤️
Tumblr media
I will say that I get my own movie mentality off of Jamie Kennedy. He is very this is what happens in the movies. And if I was ever in a movie type situation, I would say the same things.
All I have to say is that freaking Scary Movie basically got this movie to a T! Freaking David Arquette being dumb. CC and her video guy. So just like the movie 🤣 it is also one of my favorites. The Waynes brothers are probably my favorite comedy people in the whole world!
Tumblr media
Haven’t even mentioned Neve Campbell when she’s the main character lol. Sucks to be made out like you’re crazy. I know that pain.
I love Matthew Lillard, “I’m starting to feel woozy here!”
I do find it interesting that they think installing a curfew for the town would help reduce deaths. I mean HW was killed in the middle of the day. And then of course there is a party where people just get killed left and right. I do have to say that Rose McGowan’s death is probably my favorite.
Tumblr media
I love how ML is just walking around in a fancy robe like he’s Hugh Hefner or something 🤣
Tumblr media
If RM would have just calmed down, she would have fit through that doggy door. She was slim enough. And I doubt that that garage door would have been able to lift with that extra weight. I don’t think they would be that strong.
NC loses her virginity to her suspicious boyfriend Skeet Ulrich. Which according to JK is going to get her killed. And it looks like that’s what happens with who we all know to be ML comes in after they are done and “Kills” SU.
Tumblr media
ML “peer pressure, I’m far too sensitive….my mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me.” 😂
Tumblr media
I take it back. RM isn’t my favorite death. ML’s is. Death by tv to the face. Definitely a way to go.
Thanks for joining on this week’s update.
Toke on 😶‍🌫️

I love ur Morphology series, it’s one of my fav daemon AUs. I was wondering if you could tell us ur headcanon for each of the Avengers daemons? Even the ones that aren’t written like Thor and Bruce?
And if ur ever inspired to keep writing- I’ll definitely be reading!
Confession: part three of the trilogy (yes, it was originally a trilogy) was going to be a rewrite of Avengers Assemble and I wrote so. much. of it. I think I've got about 10k of it done, but I haven't touched it in absolute years.
Given that the chances of me ever finishing it are... next to nil, have a snippet for each of the Avengers about their daemons:
Steve:
In a classified location somewhere near Greenland, a woman and her dæmon sat in a truck, freezing.
“All I’m saying is that they shouldn’t have sent people with cold-blooded dæmons to the damn North Pole.”
Alison sighed. “Shut up, Logas.”
The lizard stuck his head out of the top of her coat to poke his tongue out at her, then quickly decided this was a bad move and ducked back down to take advantage of her body heat.
“How long do we have to be here?” he whined, his voice muffled.
Alison wasn’t particularly enjoying herself either, but when someone told you that you were on a mission to finally bring Captain America’s body home, it was kind of hard to say no. At least she wasn’t out on the ice, digging. Those guys all had big useful dæmons like huskies. Alison was just the mortician, with a useless, whiny tree lizard to keep her company as they waited to have something to do. Still, this was important, and at least it made a change from the monotony of her autopsy lab back in New York.
She was about to tell Logas something along those lines when she became aware of the raised voices outside. “Wait, I think they’ve found him.”
She got out of the truck, wincing as she did so and wishing she’d kept moving around. There was real commotion now, people yelling and running around.
“What’s happening?” Alison shouted, moving towards the plane where it poked out of the ground. “Agent Beckett?”
Beckett was staggering away from the plane, and Alison would have bet decent amounts that if it weren’t for the wind burn on his cheeks he would have been white as a sheet. His dæmon, an Arctic fox, was hopping up at his knees.
“Agent Beckett, are you alright?” Alison asked.
His eyes refocused on her. “Agent Newbury. Tell me you’ve got actual medical training.”
She blinked. “Yeah, I just got fed up of patients dying on me. Why, someone hurt?”
“We found his dæmon in the ice,” Beckett said.
Alison stared. That sentence just didn’t compute. “His dæmon - you mean Captain America’s dæmon? But that means-”
“He’s alive,” said Beckett. “He must be alive. Shit, it’s been sixty seven years, and he’s alive.”
Alison took a deep breath and immediately regretted it as the cold air bit at her throat. “Well,” she said. “Guess I’d best make sure he doesn’t die on me.”
~
“Welcome to your new apartment,” said Agent Morse.
Steve glanced around. It was a decent, bland sort of space, much bigger than he really needed, although smaller than the cabin in the woods where they’d put him for a few weeks. “Thank you, ma’am.”
“Sure,” said Morse. She was smiling professionally, and her bird dæmon chirruped happily from atop her shoulder. It made the facial bruising and the broken arm look weirdly incongruous. “So, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/diner. Plus, there’s a gym in the basement, and the phone line and internet have all been set up - you know what that is?” she checked.
“They gave me a lot of books to read when I was recuperating,” he said. “One of them was called Computers for Dummies.”
Sigouria huffed at the reminder, and Steve saw Agent Morse look down at her. When he caught her looking, she ducked her head a little, but didn’t blush.
“Sorry,” she said brightly. “Just - your dæmon. She looks more like a husky than an Alaskan malamute.”
Steve closed his eyes for a moment. Here we go again.
“She’s a Siberian husky,” he said. “I’m told that soon after I - well, apparently it wasn’t acceptable for Captain America to have a Russian breed for a dæmon.”
Morse’s eyes narrowed. “Alaska didn’t even join the Union until the sixties.”
“1959,” Steve corrected. “Anyway, the history books aren’t too clear on when they made the change.”
“You’re well-informed,” she noted.
“Like I said, ma’am, they gave me a lot of books.”
Books, a computer, and an internet connection. When Steve began to suspect that SHIELD had carefully limited his reading material, he’d felt frustrated until he stumbled onto the chapter of his computer textbook about search engines and realised that the internet couldn’t be limited. He’d augmented his curriculum with Google and Wikipedia, until he couldn’t face any more. The conflict with Russia. The interventions in Lebanon, Panama, Libya. War with Korea, with Vietnam, with Iraq, with Afghanistan.
And Sigouria rewritten.
In all the fiction created about him during the War, all the propaganda he’d helped spread, they’d never touched Sigouria. Sure, they'd talked about her, said she was a sign of the man inside. They'd had nothing but good things to say about Sig: a big, strong, dog dæmon, always the sign of the perfect soldier, even when paired with a scrawny nothing like Steve. She’d only become embarrassing during the Cold War, but that gave the American public a good long time to get it into their heads that Captain America had a perfectly North American dæmon. Morse was the fourth person to accuse him of being a fraud because of Sigouria. 
Her dæmon leaned into her ear and whispered, “Could be genuine.”
Steve smiled blandly. “If it helps either way, you should know that the serum gave me extra sharp hearing.”
She gave up the pretense then. “Look, Captain, you have to realise how good this timing is. SHIELD’s been encountering potential superheroes consistently for a few years now, and none of them are under government control. You resurfacing, just after the Senate pitches a fit about Stark, the Army about Banner, SHIELD about that whole crisis in New Mexico-” She cut herself off with a shake of the head, preventing him from asking for an explanation. “You turned up just when the country needed a clean-cut, well-behaved hero. It’s much easier to believe you’re a fake than to accept the idea that you were suddenly discovered in the ice after seventy years.”
That had Sigouria on her feet and moving in front of Steve, but the little bird didn’t falter, safe on his perch.
Steve didn’t know what to say. He fell back on a platitude. “Well, I’ll try to live up to that.”
Morse sighed. "I'm sure you will. And if you really are him, I should probably say - I'm sorry for your loss."
Steve's throat tightened as she left, and Sig growled at the closed door.
“Don’t,” he said. “She’s only telling us the truth.”
“And doesn’t that make a change,” Sig replied.
~
I don't think it's explicit in those snippets - Sigouria was frozen just slightly too far away from Steve, resulting in the same sort of stretching that Natasha was forced to undergo as a child. That, coupled with waking up in the future, is inducing pretty serious depression in Steve. Poor love. Sigouria comes from the Greek for confidence/safety.
~
Bruce:
The man who arrived at the hut was not charitable to Natasha. He was wary, and wily with it, and his capuchin dæmon fidgeted constantly, swinging up to Banner’s neck and then skittering down to the floor again, staying way back from Cassum. When Natasha brought up an image of the Tesseract on her phone, Banner took it easily enough, but the monkey screeched as it came too close to the threat.
“So Fury isn’t after the monster?” Banner asked.
Natasha smiled. “Not that he’s told me.”
“And he tells you everything?”
Oh, he was good. Untrained, but any cornered animal would bite back. Natasha pointedly did not glance at Cassum. “Talk to Fury, he needs you on this.”
Banner moved forward. “He needs me in a cage?”
Cassum was quivering; Natasha could feel it. “No one’s gonna put you in a-”
“Stop lying to me!”
In the blink of an eye, Natasha had a gun aimed directly between his eyes, and Cassum was a cheetah, poised and bristling, trembling.
The little monkey screeched again in alarm, but Banner just moved back a little. He was almost laughing, looking at Cassum with greed, curiosity, utterly fearless. “So, are you a science experiment too?”
Natasha didn’t say anything; nor did she lower her gun.
“I’m sorry, that was mean. I just wanted to see what you’d do.” His eyes flicked between her and Cassum, and then back again. “Fight and flight both.”
Natasha relaxed her grip slightly. “I like to cover my bases.”
Banner smiled. “So do I. Why don’t we do this the easy way, where you don’t use that and the other guy doesn’t make a mess? Okay, Natasha?”
Patronising. Informal. Still testing her. She raised a hand to the comm concealed under her hair. “Stand down, we’re good here.”
And now Banner was truly amused. “Just you and me?”
Natasha breathed out slowly, aware that it was a tell. “I like to cover my bases.” The monkey was edging closer to Cassum, who stayed stock still. “So, Bruce. Are you coming with us?”
“You understand that I’ll run at the slightest provocation,” he said.
Natasha nodded. “We’ll do our best not to provoke you. Or him.”
The capuchin was inches away from Cassum, who finally stepped back. The monkey chittered in triumph and scrambled back towards Banner.
Natasha smiled. “Well. Shall we?”
And Hulk:
“I’m okay,” Natasha said. She swallowed to wet her throat, and then looked across at Bruce Banner, and that goddamn capuchin dæmon. “We’re okay, right?”
But Banner’s pain was inscribed clearly on his face, and the dæmon was screeching. Cassum became a husky, startlingly like Rogers’s dæmon, and slowly, carefully, began shifting the debris off of Natasha’s trapped body.
“Doctor…” No response, no use appealing to dignity, too far gone. “Bruce, you gotta fight it. This is just what Loki wants.” No response, logic no longer helpful. “We’re gonna be okay, listen to me.”
Two agents were coming up to check on them, but Thea was on it. “Go! Go!” she hissed.
The monkey screamed at her.
“We’re gonna be okay, alright?” Natasha continued, knowing the desperation was bleeding through. “I swear on my life, I will get you out of this, you will walk away, and-”
“Your life?!”
“Bruce,” she said, but it was too late.
"Thea, go!" Natasha yelled. "Get out now, go to Coulson!"
The man was roaring as he became the monster, but his dæmon screamed, a high-pitched sound that deepened as the monkey grew. It writhed in agony - or so Natasha supposed - and this was bizarre, this was a twisted mockery of how dæmons were supposed to change. This dæmon did not flick from one form to the next, but tore itself apart in order to expand. Its fur darkened until it was pitch black, and two tusks pushed themselves out of the lower jaw, forcing the face to distort until it looked more like a gorilla. The tail retracted, but not fully, leaving a stump extending from the base of its spine.
Did this thing understand the great taboo? Or would it tear Natasha apart before Banner even had to get himself free of the wreckage pinning them both down?
And then with one last great shove, Cassum had her free, and they were pelting away.
I never quite settled on a name for Bruce's daemon - I felt that what with his self-hatred, he probably never addressed his daemon out loud, so I didn't really need to know a name. I was leaning towards male gender.
~
Tony & Pepper (the scene where Coulson visits the Tower - Thea was not affected by Loki possessing Clint, so she's tagging along):
"Security breach," Stark blurted, but Potts was already coming forward as they left the elevator.
"Phil, hi," she said with a smile. Her bird dæmon fluttered down to greet Alevrie but jerked back and chirped in alarm when he saw Thea. Potts' smile faltered. "And, um."
"Ms Potts, this is Thea," Coulson said smoothly. "Thea, Pepper Potts, CEO Stark Industries."
"Tony Stark, Iron Man," Stark butted in. "Great, we all know each other, so now I can ask what the hell, Agent?"
Thea was watching Potts' dæmon. A northern lapwing, she thought, and clearly very unsettled. He was edging back towards his human, unlike Stark's dæmon, a margay, who was growling and baring her teeth, almost pulling Stark forward as she stalked towards the intruders.
"Thea is the dæmon of a trusted agent," said Coulson. "Mr Stark, you need to get up to speed on our current situation; we're bringing you in."
He tried to hand him a tablet, but Stark lifted his hands and stepped back. "No, you're not. Firstly, I thought you didn't want me in your little boyband-"
"The Avengers Initiative?" Potts said faintly, before catching herself. "Not that I know anything about that."
"-said I didn't play well with others-"
"That bit I did know," Potts remarked.
"-and secondly, can we get back to the trained rabbit?"
"Jackrabbit," Thea corrected.
The lapwing let out a weak chirp and flew up to Potts' shoulder, but the margay sprang forwards with claws unsheathed, only stopping a couple of feet away from Thea. Thea stood her ground, aware of Alevrie tensing.
"So you are a dæmon," Stark said, fixing her with an intense stare.
Thea's nose twitched. "Sure am."
Potts had her free hand held to her mouth. "Sorry," she said. “We're being awfully rude.”
“We are?”
"If we can get to the point," Coulson said, holding out the tablet again.
"I hate being handed things," Stark rebuffed.
Potts took a quick breath, plastered on a smile. "Well, I love being handed things, so let's trade." She handed her champagne glass to Coulson, took the tablet and then pressed it into Stark's hands, taking his glass in turn.
Once Stark got the tablet lit up and connected to his holographic displays, it clearly only took him a second to clock the image of Thea and Clint, but to her surprise it was the margay who spoke up.
“You’re Hawkeye’s,” she said. Her voice was coarse, somehow sharp, sort of like the way that Stark stared.
Potts glanced at her, but didn’t flinch again, so clearly Stark’s dæmon often spoke in her own right.
“Born that way, yeah,” Thea agreed.
“And look at that,” Stark continued, still pointing at the screen. “Our favourite Agent Romanoff with a wolf dæmon I distinctly remember her not having when she was my fake PA. Pepper, you remember Miss Rushman’s sleek little Siamese cat, don’t you?”
Potts looked ready to faint all over again as she moved to his side, staring at the screen. “You mean that wasn’t her dæmon? Is she-”
“Agent Romanoff’s dæmon never settled,” Coulson broke in, sounding as calm and diplomatic as ever.
“Impossible,” the margay snapped, but Stark snapped right back: “Improbable.”
Thea wanted to roll her eyes. “Find it kinda funny that there’s a video of a giant green monster up there and you’re focusing on me and Cassum.”
Potts looked straight to the Hulk, but Stark shook his head. “Human bias. Giant green monsters - completely alien. Muck with something you thought you knew - that captures the attention.”
“You might want to reconsider your use of the word alien,” said Coulson. "Our antagonist doesn't even have a dæmon."
Tony's daemon is a margay called Zoirotita which gets shortened to Roti (it annoyed his father no end that a daemon named for vibrancy got nicknamed after a flatbread). Pepper's lapwing is called Bahariko, which just means spice.
~
(Quick bonus Tony:
"Deploy. Deploy!" he shouted. "Roti, get ready!"
And there was the suit, finally, clinging to him in bits and pieces, encasing him, but Roti wasn't in position, of course she wasn't, she was below him, but what the fuck, why the panic, she was a cat -
She landed heavily but on her feet, just before Tony scooped her straight back up, tucking her under his right arm.
"I need to be a fucking bird!" she yelled.
"We need to revisit Iron Cat," Tony corrected.)
You don't know how long I spent wondering how Iron Cat worked.
~
Thor & Loki:
Back on the now-crowded jet, Steve was ready to settle in for a tense and uncomfortable flight, when suddenly Thor beamed.
“I know this one!” he announced. “Little Thea the far-hearing. Where is your other half?”
Steve shared a surprised glance with Sig, but Thea just shrugged. “Best ask your brother.”
Loki was no longer grinning, apparently adequately threatened by the presence of another Asgardian, but there was still a malicious glint in his eye as he looked at Thea.
“An easy target,” he said. “A man with half a conscience, half a spirit, who has to think through every decision he makes to check if that’s the human thing to do. What could be more natural for a man like that, than to follow orders?”
“That’s enough out of you,” Steve said, and Sigouria growled low in her throat.
Fortunately, Thor seemed to agree with him, turning away from his brother. “And what is your name, shield-bearer?”
“Steve Rogers. They call me Captain America.”
“And you?”
There was a pause where everyone looked at each other, unsure of who was being addressed, for Thor had not turned his head away from Steve. It took Thea stepping on her foot for Sigouria to speak up. “Oh! You mean - I’m Sigouria. Uh. Pleased to meet you?”
“And you, young wolf.” And - oh, this was getting stranger by the second - he looked next at Stark’s daemon.
“Roti,” the margay said. “And this is-”
“Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. And you are really definitely not of this earth, I am gonna need to reread all of Foster’s papers-”
“Natasha Romanoff,” Agent Romanoff called from the front of the jet. “And this is Cassum. We’ll be coming up on the helicarrier in thirty minutes. Let’s save the conversation for when we’ve removed certain parties from the room.”
~
And just because it was going to set up the spin off I will absolutely never get around to, bonus Coulson...
Phil Coulson opened his eyes.
White surroundings. Medical of some sort. His whole body was stiff and weak. What had - where -
Tahiti. That was right. He had been recuperating in Tahiti - a magical place - after the battle. Loki. They had won, Barton was safe, Stark had flown a nuclear missile through a portal into some other dimension, another area of space-time… Why was his brain going over this, when he’d been recovering in Tahiti for weeks?
He shook his head to clear it, and sat up. Yes, this was definitely a SHIELD medical facility. And there was a nurse coming towards him, though not one he knew. He looked - distressed. Pale, eyes darting about. Terrier dæmon hugging his heels.
“Take it easy, sir,” he said to Phil. “You, uh, you passed out on the plane on the way back. Rough landing, apparently. Uh -”
“Take a break, son.”
Phil smiled. “Nick. Long time no see.” He sat up to see Nick striding in, dæmon at his heels, and the poor nurse scurrying out of the way and practically fleeing the room, the terrier scuttling ahead. “I’d tell you to stop scaring the juniors but I know it would do no good.”
“You’re damn right,” said Nick. He took the chair to the side of Phil’s bed, his dæmon sitting gracefully by his leg, tail swiping along the floor. “You don’t know how good it is to have you back.”
Phil smirked. “Looking forward to delegating all the dirty work to me again, sir?”
Nick laughed. “Wish I could, Coulson. You know we’re gonna have to redeploy you.”
That sentence took a couple of seconds to compute, but then it all came flooding back. Loki’s spear, the side-effect that only he had faced. This was why he’d been sent to Tahiti after all: to grieve, and to learn to live again.
“Of course,” Phil said, cursing his own forgetfulness. “Sorry, I knew that.”
“Don’t apologise,” Nick said roughly. “It’s only been a few weeks without her.” Beside him, the jaguar bowed her head. “Can’t expect a man to get used to losing his dæmon that quickly.”

I think I’ve waited long enough at this point
Stranger Things rant
(Not hating, just chatting)
1) Why are we losing every NEW Stranger Things character?
2) What is the relationship status and why should I care?
——
Number 1:
Barbara
Bob
Alexei (😭)
Billy
Eddie
Max- no, she’s not dead but we don’t know her state for the final season
I don’t understand this choice to introduce characters just to kill them off.
So! Let’s talk Steve and Nancy then. Cause that was the alternative to our quirky nerd and guitar loving druggie.
Before you all call the Vecna on me, let me explain
We have had Steve since Episode 1 and his character was never supposed to survive this far into the series. He stayed because his actor is brilliant and because he works so well with Dustin. (I know his name, I’ll butcher it if I spell it so I’m not about to try. Much respect, not-so-small-anymore child.)
Steve has undergone a HUGE character arc at this point and gone from dude I want to punch in the gut to guy I’d trust to watch my puppy. Which is high praise believe me. I love Steve and I would’ve been BROKEN if something happened to him. BUT! We’ve had him for a while. We’ve had a chance to give him a full story.
Nancy: Nancy is another arc that has come full circle for me. She’s grown from this annoying teenager to a strong woman who defends her brother and his friends. Who cares about people other than herself.
When it comes to Nancy, I have much bigger issues in the back of my mind and the reason why I would’ve accepted her demise;
Her love triangle, doesn’t mean anything to me. And I wish she could be the strong female figure without this awkward push and pull of Steve and Jonathan. It’s ridiculous. I’m over it. It’s teenage drama that Nancy as a character would logically be so far above post enduring as much trauma as she has. She knows what she wants. So let the character follow through with it.
Either leave her with Jonathan and let’s move on, or kill her off in a noble way where she makes a sacrifice because she’s that strong and that brave.
Killing Eddie was so weak because imo, you didn’t want Steve to have a competitor.
Dustin belongs with the children. You’re aging him (traumatizing him) and maybe that’s going somewhere. Maybe he’s been apart from the other kids for a reason- but why pull away his new bestie and new mentor, when Steve almost acted like he couldn’t be bothered?
AGAIN! You kill Steve this season and I’m mad about but I feel something. We all do.
….And on the flip side, the fact that Eddie hurts so badly isn’t a shot at the actor or the writers- it’s literally the opposite. You made us care so deeply about this character in one season that we are …messed up.
My biggest issue that’s not even an issue, really, is you’ve done this before and it makes me want to stop caring about the new guys and anyone you introduce in Season 5.
And the only relationship I care about at all is Max and Lucas. (Joyce and Hopper but we all saw that coming. They’re endgame and it’s not a twist imo. Unless Joyce dies or is empowered or something wild, it can’t go anywhere than the obvious.)
So do something with Mike and El please. Will is an option! But commit to it or drop it.
And be rid of the love triangle with Nancy.

My unrealistic wish for RE9 (feat. spoilers for other games in the series, fair warning):
...as always, warning that this is ridiculously long. That's just the norm for me, sorrrrrrrry ;_____;
Ideally, this would be back to a third-person, over-the-shoulder kind of game. my true wish would be fixed camera tank controls again lmao, but I'm one of the only people I could live with this being first-person again just for ONE last game to finish a "trilogy" of sorts, but 3rd person would be VERY MUCH preferred. I like to see my hot characters when I play as them, thank you very much
They pick up on the thread from RE8 with the B.O.W. soldiers sent by the BSAA, meaning this would probably be a Chris protagonist game. Which is fine with me, since I like Chris a lot and I think the games generally feel like they're in "sets" of three, so Chris being important in 7-9 feels right.
Basically, I'd want one big BSAA wrap-up game, before kinda... rebooting the series for the big #10. But I'll get to that later.
Jill would return too in some capacity, as she deserves. I know multiple campaigns are divisive in this series after RE6, so maybe just have parts where you are forced to shift between Chris and Jill. Not in a co-op kind of way, but kind of like when you play as Steve in CV or Ashley in 4, just on a much larger scale, you feel me?
Barry would be fairly old at this point, so maybe he could be on comms or something. Show up in a big damn heroes kind of moment at some point, or have his magnum be usable so it's like he's there. But he is with BSAA, so I'd like him there! And then it's also a (mostly) S.T.A.R.S. reunion, which would be pretty cool as a double reunion of sorts.
Sheva would FINALLY come back in a game. Like, holy shit, bring her back after all these years, good lord. Yeah, I get she's with the African branch of BSAA, but we had North American branch Chris in Africa with her in RE5 and NA branch Jill with European branch Parker in Rev1, so does it really matter? Not sure what kind of role she'd have, but I'd like her to be fairly prominent, and I'd like to see her and Jill interact more.
I think Parker and Josh would be super cool to see again too, but this is already bloated character-wise (and I'm not done yet teehee, you'll never guess why /s), and unfortunately I'm not sure that either was super popular, even if I like both of them. Give 'em at least mentions in a file or something for sure. what if Keith and Quint showed up. man, people would be PISSED if they came back but not other characters lmfao, though I actually don't mind them
Anyway, let's just do BSAA civil war. Who knows. The B.O.W. soldiers ends up being a breaking point. The BSAA characters everyone is familiar with are fighting against whoever authorized that decision, bioweapon shenanigans ensue, some kind of bigger villain shows up and ends up as the final boss.
And along the way - BEAR WITH ME, I KNOW I'M OUT OF MY MIND WHEN IT COMES TO HIM, SHHHHH - Piers comes back because of course he would in a game about the BSAA and B.O.W.s, RIGHT? RIGHT????? He just... floated to the surface after RE6 or something, dumber things have happened in this series. He survived because that C-virus strain was an advanced one or some shit, I don't really care how lol. They could be like "somehow, Piers returned" like Palpatine and I'd just be happy one of my two RE husbands carlos is the other for the record was back, no questions asked.
So then maybe he's not fully in his right mind and still kinda mutated-looking with his arm and eye and you have to fight him at some point. It'd be pretty exciting since you could get some good Chris angst from this (and he'd be even MORE pissed about the BSAA doing this stuff), and Jill could want to help Chris try to bring Piers back to his senses, just like Chris did for her when she was under Wesker's control in 5. It's like poetry, I know :)
Then by the end, you get some super cool team-up where everyone there (Chris, Jill, Sheva, Piers, maaaaybe Barry too at the end) does some sick posing and Death Island-type stuff, and the final boss happens. And... I don't know, I only have broad strokes dreams here lol. That's why I have issues with getting my fanfic ideas out, after all.
Now, I know some people would be like "doesn't this whole Piers thing cheapen the ending of RE6?" To which I say, "no." Because that game is over 10 years old, it's not like this turnaround happened immediately. Hell, I STILL to this day get teary-eyed at the end of Sonic Adventure 2 with Shadow "dying" despite him being in 20+ years of Sonic content since then, and LITERALLY RETURNING IN THE VERY NEXT MAIN GAME after SA2. If something is effective emotionally, it just is, regardless of what happens after, IMO.
But it's not like it matters, because it won't happen :( And instead we'll probably get some kind of BSAA drama, but not like this. And even worse, we might get another new protag, which frankly I do not want. I like new characters (most of my faves in this series are one-off characters lol), but Ethan does not instill confidence in me right now.
Back to an earlier point, though... I want this to be a big "yay, all the BSAA characters are here" thing because I need Piers so bad to wrap up that whole thread, then just pseudo-reboot the series. I still think making the games follow real life years was a dumb, shortsighted decision that really traps the plot and characters writing-wise, so I'd just start over after this. Do yet another RE1 remake, then move on from there in a new continuity. One that is NOT beholden to how much time passes IRL. And take the knowledge of what people liked and what people didn't to make new stories with the same cast (with some changes). Like, they know now that Luis was very popular after the remake. Do more with him. Do more with Carlos. With Ashley. With Piers. Introduce them in different ways. Stuff like that.
BUUUUUT again I know none of this will happen. I really do wonder where they intend to go with the series with the age issue with characters, though. This could've all been avoided (for a while, anyway) if they'd just used RE6 as a stepping stone for passing the torch to some of the younger characters (Piers > Chris, Helena > Leon, Sherry and Jake would kinda be their own thing and also I still can't believe they introduce WESKER'S SON only to do nothing with him after that like wtf, Sheva > Jill?). Too late now, though.
Also, if you read all this (god help you) and are thinking "you really want to do a 'finale" game without Leon in it?" My answer is yeah lol, I don't really care because it'd just reboot anyway in my dream world version of things, so you'd all be seeing Leon again anyway at some point. Plus, he has little to do with the BSAA, so yeaaaaaaah. It pains me not to include Claire too, but them's the breaks.

Confession (Fanfic)
New Chapter of my Angst series 💜
“Honey I’m home~” Paracelsus shouts and he can hear Simon groaning in frustration. But unfortunately, treatment for Simon will have to wait, he has to analyze Carlo’s blood as soon as possible, he doesn’t want the blood to go bad, Paracelsus makes his way to his medical room and from his medical bag he takes it out, beginning the process, he knows the results won’t disappoint him.
Even better, they surprised him.
It has extremely regenerative properties, no matter how the cells are damaged, they will keep themselves together protecting the body; but, considering Carlo told him that he had a fever before it was strange, so he tested the blood with a few bacterial infections that could cause that, but there was nothing, then he aimed bigger, a virus, and he got his answer, in reality, Carlo had influenza, and that means the boy should be dead right now, although some treatments exist, recovery is rare. It’s even more interesting that Geppetto didn’t get sick, possibly due to all the contact he was with Carlo he might be developing immunities.
But most fun of all, when Paracelsus took a little amount of Ergo and made it have contact with the blood, it fully absorbed it.
“Interesting” he needs to pay Carlo another visit soon, maybe he ought to bring him some lollipops since he behaves so well around him.
As much as he would love to continue, he is lacking more information and it’s been a few hours and he hasn’t checked up on Simon since he arrived.
“How are you feeling?” He already knows that he feels beyond awful, but he loves to tease him anyway.
“Can’t you go back to doing whatever you were doing?” Simon wishes he had more peace.
“I lack sufficient data at the moment, and I can’t neglect my favorite patient, not with how much pain you are in”
“Pain that you are causing me” Simon doesn’t want to deal with him, everything had been so perfect that day with Paracelsus being in his own world.
Paracelsus ignores Simon’s complaints and brings him back to his medical room, getting his tools ready, mostly syringes since it’s time for Simon to get his special shots.
Simon needs something to distract himself, he looks around to see what Paracelsus is working with, “What were you researching?”
“Some fun stuff” Paracelsus isn’t taking him seriously but he has to keep pushing.
“Enlighten me, your skills were always above others” Although Simon doesn’t want to stroke Paracelsus's ego, he needs to so that he can talk.
“Well, it’s better to tell you now, since it involves you”
“How?” Maybe if Simon can find out what he is doing to him he can put a stop to it.
“Well, I paid a little visit to Geppetto’s son…” Paracelsus has a big smile on his face.
“Because…?” What does Carlo have to with-
Oh.
“I’m going to need you to come with me next time” Paracelsus's smile is even wider, “Plus the boy wants to see his beloved uncle Simon again”
“If you actually have a reason to study what happened why do you keep me this way? What do you gain out of this?” Simon was once a God, and Carlo now holds his old arm, if Paracelsus is studying Carlo, then Simon suspects that he is analyzing it to use its properties for himself, or maybe he has other plans for it, either way, in this state he shouldn’t be of much use to him.
“Fun fact, your blood is the same as Carlo,” Paracelsus says as he boops Simon’s nose, “Well, almost the same, there are some, differences…that’s why you are in this state”
“Like what?” Simon needs to know.
“Can’t say~” Paracelsus hums, he can’t let Simon know, and besides, even if they didn’t share the same blood, he would have still kept Simon as his special patient, it’s just that everything ended up lining perfectly for him.
“I’m almost done, at it’s getting late, you need to rest” Simon doesn’t have a choice in the matter, as Paracelsus takes out a bottle of Ketamine and prepares the dosage.
Paracelsus takes Simon to bed and applies the anesthetic to his body, sure, he doesn’t need to apply something so strong but in truth, he uses it so that Simon’s state of mind becomes more delicate, it’s nice to see him become confused and in that state he is easier to influence, that’s why they share a bed, so that night he can whisper things into Simon’s ear.
——
Paracelsus wakes up when he feels slight movement in the bed, unfortunately for him, he is a very light sleeper, fortunately for him, he can see that Simon is in distress.
Simon is clenching his fists and trying his bed to stay still, he keeps looking at the sealing, fixated on something, and that’s when Paracelsus realizes he is hallucinating, a side effect of the drug used on him.
“What’s wrong my dear? Are you seeing things~?
Simon is terrified, he isn’t just seeing something, he is seeing someone, it’s Sophia, and she is in an even worse state than the one she was in when she passed, her rotting stiff body filled with maggots that crawl in and out, her hair is down and it’s original color blue is starting to look a seasick green, one of her eyes is hanging and the other is completely dark, her mouth is opened and from it drips a greenish-black ooze, just like the one from the petrification disease.
His beloved Sophia, his beautiful Sophia, no; this can’t be her, this isn’t the real her.
Sophia says nothing, she just stares at him, it’s killing him, but he is afraid to close his eyes, the look Sophia is giving him warns him not to, that he shouldn’t dare, this is his punishment, the punishment he gets for how he tortured her.
“Oh Simon my dear please don’t cry”
He is crying, he didn’t even realize it, and now he is shaking, and even worse his body involuntarily starts to move and he can’t stop it.
Paracelsus sees that he is entering a state of emergence delirium, and he finds it adorable because it’s an effect mostly seen in children. He stays awake for some time, watching him squirm, watching Simon suffer, but eventually, Paracelsus starts to get tired and wants to sleep so he gives Simon something to make him feel better and pass out.
The next morning is Sunday, and since Paracelsus doesn’t work on Sunday he gets to spend extra time with Simon, who is in a pretty bad state, today while giving him his treatments he stays quiet and doesn’t protest, he lets him care for him without much issue.
Now he is transferring IV fluids to Simon, and while he is sitting down, Paracelsus decides to join him and sit on his lap.
“You know, this all started because I wanted to have some fun”
Simon tries to look away but Paracelsus uses his hands to make him face him again, grabbing Simon by the neck.
“But now that we have spent all this time together, I think there is something more”
Simon starts shaking again.
“I think, I’m in love with you”
Paracelsus stops grabbing Simon by the neck and leans in closer to his face, kissing him, gently of course, he doesn’t want to harm his favorite patient, he doesn’t want to harm his beloved Simon.
“You are mine, Simon”
And he always will be.

Hello you mrs. used to be sushi waitress lefty eyebag 😅
Yeah, it's been raining since yesterday and I like it because then I can just lay in bed and be comfortable. But of course I gotta work and it sucks because it's so slow and I'm starting to get a headache again.
Oh I still read it. While reading it though, it made me think of that one Netflix show, called You. Have you watched it before? It already has 3 seasons and it's coming out with a 4th one. It makes me wonder if R was raised by a crazy person to make them that way.
Of course you won't spoil it right? Hahaha
Yeah I do know how to drive.. I just need more practice though and it scares me to drive with all the crazy drivers around. Oh yah, the expedition is a big one. That's why I just like the Escape because it's compact but not too compact.
I see. Well hopefully she is okay and just busy.
I can't tell you the meal, cause then you'd know the secret to my heart! That's cheating hahaha
So you like to confront the problems head on and communicate about it? We kind of have the same answer. I would also add if they are mean to my pets, and don't appreciate them like I do, then it's off lol
Do you like PDA?
-CuriousGeorge
Hello hello darling righty eyebag!
how was ur day? hows work?
oh noooo! you got headache again? how is it now? better?
oh u read it?? yaaay! were u able to read it until the end or was it too dark for u? can u please tell me what u think about it? :D any favorite scene? or how u feel while u were reading it or after u read it.
n yes, it was inspired by that netflix series You. Gosh, i love that series so much. The plot twist in every season, it's insane! I really wish i could write stories like that. After the second season n when i saw the third season trailer, I thought how could the writer make it better than the season 2 n probably wont be as good as the previous season. Turn out, I was wrong. it's crazy good. I cant wait for season 4.
I tried to make the R in The Monsters Within like a mix of Joe, Love and Joker. lol even though i think it's not possible for someone to be like three of them in real life, i think. haha.
hahah of course i wont spoil it. Just stay tune, i will post the next on the 15th :P
ah i see. so u ride a motorcycle every where u go? or u take public transportation? yeah I agree with u on ford escape. i like bigger car when it comes to road trip or costco shopping. lol.
Well, i hope the same. I hope my crush is doing okay. I meant i totally understand, she doesnt have to talk to me all the time n i understand she is busy. She always let me know why she was gone or sometimes give me a heads up that she will need to focus on stuff so she wont be talking much. but yeah, my bad habit or trait, i sometime overthink n that's not the fun part. I just hope it wasnt because i said something wrong or i was being annoying or something. oh well, I'll just wait n hope to hear from her soon. sorry for the rambling. i actually miss her. oh well, let's move on to the next part of ur ask, shall we?
haha so it's not pasta nor pizza? is it a dessert?
yes, i prefer to talk about the problem together and solve it. I never want to go to sleep angry. That's my principal in relationship. Unless if i already express my thought on the problem n i never get any respond or being ignored multiple times, then i'm done. n when i'm done, it wont be good at all. it doesnt mean that i would go crazy or psycho, i would be quite n wont talk anymore n thats when they have to be worry. i would be numb n in a second the love n care could be gone n i wont care about that person anymore. (that's when im really hurt, disapointed n done.) :D
yeah, i will add that to mine too. if they r being mean to animals n other people n especially to their parents.
yes, i love PDA but not too much that make others want to puke though. lol. what about u?
next question?
Cheerio! (not the cereal one) lol

Love Fix All
Tumblr media
Pairing: Husband! Taehyung x Wife! Reader
Genre: almost divorce au and angst… fluffy ending tho i promise <3333
Warnings: cursing, bits of insecurity, and anything else i’ve missed!
Summary: With almost an end on your marriage, Taehyung once remind you how much he loves you.
A/N: Happy… Late… Birthday..? LMFAO I got inspiration to finish this during my shower so here we are! Also we hit 50 followers?! Halfway to 100! Thank you so much for your patience and love <3 xox
-
“Y/N, what the fuck are these?” Taehyung stormed into your shared bedroom, throwing a pack of divorce papers onto the bed, right in front of you.
“Divorce papers?” You replied as if it wasn’t obvious.
“I know it’s divorce papers! Why the hell were they on my desk?” He snapped due to your calm reply, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“I don’t know… maybe because you were the one who suggested it?” You scoffed, finally looking up at him.
Taehyung looked like a mess. His hair was all messy which meant he probably ran his hand through it more than you can count, eyebrows furrowed, and his lips was swollen which meant he kept biting it.
“You can’t be seri-”
“What do you mean by that, Tae?! I wasn’t the fucking one who wished they shouldn’t have married me,” You cut him off angrily. Taehyung could feel the heat radiating off your body.
The fight started a few days ago, when you went to visit him at his office.
-
“Come in!” Tae yelled out as you opened the door.
“Hi baby, are you almost done? Our reservation is in 30 minutes,”
“Oh, shit! Y/N- love- fuck, I totally forgot about our reservation. I need to stay back and finish some paperwork,” He frowned.
“What? But- we’ve made these reservations for almost a month now. And you’re the boss, can’t you- I don’t know? Just finish it tomorrow or tell Jihyo to finish it? We haven’t been on a date night in forever,” You pouted, pleading him with your eyes.
“I know, baby, and I’m sorry! I am, but- I need to finish these by tonight for one of the most important meetings I have tomorrow, you know that. Maybe we can postpone it to next week or something?” Taehyung suggested, letting out a deep sigh.
He felt terrible, he really did, but it had slipped his mind! With so much going on at his business which was starting to get bigger, Taehyung just couldn’t keep track with such and such like these things.
“But Tae-,”
“Y/N, I’m sorry, but I really can’t tonight,”
You bit down on your lip to stop yourself from crying as Taehyung went back to doing papers.
“You never make time for me anymore,” You mumbled under your breath as you turned around, ready to get out of here and lay in bed and cry.
You didn’t think Tae would have heard what you said, but he definitely did. And for some reason, it spiked his anger.
“Cut that crap, Y/N. I make plenty of time for you!” He defended.
“Cut that crap? Really? So what, now my feelings are just crap? Gosh, Tae! You don’t even know how much I have missed you. And for fuck’s sake, I thought tonight would be the reminder I needed to know that you still care about me, but I was wrong! We barely spend time with each other anymore. You’re always staying back at your office everyday and you don’t even come until midnight! D-do you even love me anymore? Let alone, want me?” You finally let out your feelings, along with a choked sob.
“How can you even say that, Y/N? Oh, because I can’t make it to ONE date night, suddenly I don’t love nor want you anymore? Of course I love you! And of course I still want you! More like need,”
“Well it doesn’t seem like it at this very moment,” You fired back.
“You’re so annoying! If I knew you were going to be this annoying, I should have never married you!” Taehyung shouted, banging his hand down onto his desk.
If words could kill, it would be those words that just came out of Taehyung’s mouth. You found it hard to breathe within the second. It felt like you had just been stabbed in the chest with a knife.
“Baby- I didn’t mean-,” His face and voice softened at your expression and quietness.
You shook your head rapidly, turning around and dashing out of your husband’s office quickly before he could try to catch you.
“Fuck!” Tae yelled, kicking the side of his desk.
-
The flashbacks of that night surrounded Tae’s head quickly. He don’t know what overcame him that night, but everything he said was not true. It killed him to know that he would even say those words to you, angry or not. He didn’t mean it. None of it.
“Darling, you know I didn’t mean any of it. I was just so upset at myself for forgetting and then there was the paperwork I had to finished- fuck, I’m just so sorry. I promise you, I love you so much. You are my breath, my heart, if I don’t have you, I wouldn’t be alive. I married you because I love you more than life itself. You are everything to me, Y/N. And I’m so fucking sorry if I have done such a horrible job showing it as a husband,” Taehyung started crying, walking towards you because all he wanted was to hold you in his arms, to make sure you were still here.
You couldn’t help but started crying as well, wrapping your arms around your husband’s body as soon as he was within an arm reach, “I’m sorry for saying all that in the first place and being dramatic, I just missed you so much,”
“Shh, don’t. Your feelings are valid and you were not being dramatic. I’m really sorry I made you feel like that, baby. I’m your husband, I should remind you all the time how much I love and need you to the point where you’d wish I’d stop,” He quickly reassured you.
You nodded, tightening your grip on him, as if he would vanish from you in a second.
“Gosh, I love you so fucking much, Y/N. You are a dream to me. You’re always waiting until midnight just so you can have dinner with me even though by the time I come home you’re already asleep. You’re always keeping our little house clean and warm. You’re always welcoming me with open arms when I come home and you haven’t fallen asleep. What did I ever do to deserve you, darling? You’re perfect,”
Taehyung took a deep breath, pulling back and giving your forehead a kiss, “I love you, Kim Y/N. I have from the very first moment I met you, and I will until my last breath,”
“And I love you, Kim Taehyung. Until the end of time and after that,” You breathed out before smashing your lips onto his. You could taste and feel the salty tears on his lips, but you didn’t care. All you cared about at this very moment was Taehyung as you tried pulling him closer to you as if he wasn’t already as he pushed you down onto the bed, deepening the kiss.
You knew that the two of you were going to be okay as Tae made love to you that night and reminded you every second just how much he loves you.

75 motivational quotes (not written by me)

Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. 35. A winner is a dreamer who never gives up. 36. The only thing standing in the way between you and your goal is the BS story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it. 37. The problem is not the problem.

Winners never quit! 46. Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. 47. We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. 48. The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. 49. If you talk about it, it’s a dream. If you envision it, it’s possible. If you schedule it, it’s real. 50. The key to success is to start before you are ready. 51. Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited about what could go right. 52. Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat is accepted as a reality. 53. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. 54.

Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm 56. Why do we grieve failures longer than we celebrate wins? 57. Failure isn’t the end of the road. It’s a big red flag saying to you ‘Wrong way. Turn around. 58. Whenever you feel like a failure, just remember that even Coca Cola only sold 25 bottles their first year 59.

If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. 63. If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. 64. The best thing you can do is MASTER the chaos in you. You are not thrown into the fire, you ARE the fire. 65. Flowers grow back even after the harshest winters. You will too. 66. Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
