Dishonored: Death of the Outsider (2017) — dev. arkane studios
We killed so many rich bastards who thought nothing of hurting us. It felt like justice. Is the Outsider to blame for what we did? Does corruption come from the void, or from our own hearts?

thanks for the tag jo @liamlawsonlesbian <3
star sign: aries sun, capricorn moon, virgo rising. being chill and normal was never an option.
favorite holiday: probably Halloween 💀 as someone who loves horror and is a recovering theatre kid, it's perfect. plus, i'm gay.
last meal: three twizzlers & a litre of ginger kombucha
current favorite musician: i've been listening to a lot of Wolf Alice and SASAMI recently.
last song listened to: 'No Girl So Sweet' (PJ Harvey)
(a tangent... but if any of my mutuals want to stalk each other on Spotify pls lmk...)
last movie watched: Talk to Me (2023) dir. Danny & Michael Philippou. i watched it on my flight and it was honestly a lot better than i anticipated. even though gore isn't typically my favourite, i was pleasantly surprised by how they managed to integrate it into a possession film. loved the grief-driven storylines, and the characters charmed me. rating: ☆☆☆☆
last tv show watched: Betty (HBO) !!! i have debilitating crushes on everyone from Skate Kitchen.
last book finished: Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline. it was assigned in one of my first year uni courses and i sped through it without really taking the time to read it properly. now that i have it's been rotting my brain non-stop. her use of simile is insane.
i also recently finished An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks. one of my all-time favourite authors and academics, would highly recommend this as a foray into 'medical' non-fiction.
last book abandoned: i don't think i've ever abandoned a book in my life, but i recently had to choke down this technical document about building codes that i can't be bothered to remember the title of.
edit: just remembered the absolute chore that was reading Outlawed by Anna North. i feel cheated and lied to by the cover because i love the cover, but the book is honestly unbelievably boring. i’m tired of the evangelical horse girl narrators, i had enough of those where i grew up. i did finish this because i hate quitting, but it tested my patience and made me feel like pulling my hair out.
currently reading: Milk Fed by Melissa Broder (for like the third time). this book is sooo weird and kind of gross, in the best way. it's definitely not going to appease everyone but i have a sick fascination with it and keep coming back. i've also been having a love affair with the cover design for a while now.
last thing researched for writing/art/hyperfixation: common apartment floorplans in Italy (if anyone has this info, hmu). i'm also in an internet sinkhole of background on the 2024 F2 grid and their respective karting histories.
favorite online fandom memory: when i was 15 i had public beef with a bunch of conservatives in a politician's comment section over pipelines and green policy and then said politician blocked me on every platform. this wouldn't be fandom related if not for the fact that i used my fan account to do all of this, so [redacted] had to search my cringe username multiple times... like omg are you a fan?
favorite old fandom you wish would drag you back in/have a resurgence: the euphoria that i felt being a part of the haikyuu fandom during quarantine will never be replicated, but i think about it every day.
favorite thing you enjoy that never had an active or big fandom, but you wish it did: i'm really into the original, morbid Grimm fairytales and wish that someone would produce a proper remake of Cinderella already. let the doves pick out the step sisters' eyes, cowards.
tempting project you don't have time for: this is a trick question because i always give into temptation regardless of whether i have time for it or not. i really want to do a series of deep-dive posts about track design and the 'architects' of f1... i've been fixated on it for a while now and haven't seen a lot of discussion about it, plus it seems like it would be fun to put all the research together :)
~ all the people i would tag have already posted, but pls do it if you'd like!

got tagged by @godspetdog for the get to know better tag meme! thank u darling <33
Last song i listened to:
Who We Are from Hoziers new album! Tbh, I'm really bad at getting a general sense of an entire album on a first listen, but so far I've added First Time and Francesca to my playlist bc I loved the vibes <3
Currently watching:
I'm currently watching Elementary and The Boys and enjoying both very much (mostly I'm enjoying Lucy Liu because come on, its Lucy Liu). I'm also watching What We Do In The Shadows whenever new episodes come out but tbh the season so far hasen't really entertained me like previous ones. Idk if it's that I'm not in the right mood or what, but I do love to see my fave Guillermo girlbossing his way to eternal life, good for him <3
Currently reading:
I just finished The Prince so if anyone has any recs for audiobooks, feel free to lmk bc everything else I'm reading rn is either on paperback or e-book and I like to have a little bit of both. Right now I'm slowly making my way through A Little Life (its not really my usual taste but its undeniably good so I'm committed to seeing it through). I'm also reading The Borgias by Marion Johnson (which is the first history book I've ever read willingly) and it has really impressed me so far! I might become a history girly after all.. Lastly, I'm reading Credence as a palette cleanser bc I saw that people were discoursing about it and I wanted to get it on the fun. The writing is mediocre in just the right way and I like that the main characters core personality trait is to be kinda boring.
Current obsession:
I think its safe to say I've hyperfixated a tiny little bit on the Borgias. My brain energy right now is like 10% basic needs, 20% the Borgias and 70% working on my book, thinking about my book, editing my book, talking about my book, reminding myself not to talk too much about my book as to not annoy people, etc etc.
I'm tagging the following (but no preassure ofc <3):
@boatwife @emiliosandozsequence @degloved @leanisilver @iloveyoumorethangod @cannibalprophet @innvcence @masalasludge

Hey there !!! I'm Aether , it/it's :]
@justahopelessbellusromantic is my a-spec side blog
I also run the @dndadscharacterpolls , so if you're interested in that, go check it out !
Im open to art requests ! I make no promises on how long they'll take me or if I'll do them at all tbh- tho please make sure that it's a character I know , otherwise I wont do it , sorry 😅 I've got a list of fandoms I'm in just below the cut if you want to check and see if I know the character youd like me to draw, or you can ask if youre not sure :]
I have . so many dndads character/ship playlists and if you ever want to see if I have a playlist for smthin I probably do and I WILL send them to you btw <3
this is a notice to every individual who decided to actually read my pinned post , PLEASE FUCK SEND ME CHARACTER RANTS/INFODUMPS I WILL LOVE YOU !! I don't even care if I know the character though I'm sure that will help , I just love listening to people talk about things and if anyone decides they want to spout random headcannons or fun facts or whatever about their blorbo/ship/hyperfixation ? please do !! idc if you decide to do it on anon or whatever , just so long as you know you will lovingly be referred to as *character/ship/thing* anon in my brain <3 and if you're asking off anon I'll probably come up with a talking tag for you eventually unless you give me one to use <333
below the cut is mostly just a guide to all the tags I use in case any of y'all want to know those either to find specific stuff or block specific tags :3
I post mostly dndads, rwd, tma, or just y'know whatever, but I'm also interested in/will post about dvc, dungeon meshi, galavant, love and luck, hohr, tmagp, malevolent, monstrous agonies, tss, furry stuff, tpp, ofmd, stellar firma, wtnv, w359, any Riordanverse books, tdp, Pokemon, good omens, toh, amphibia, gravity falls, de:pp, stranger things, cookie run, A:tla, Steven universe, plus probably a few other assorted fandoms that I can't think of rn :]
all my art is tagged under "my art" , and you are welcome to use my art in edits or as a pfp etc . as long as I'm credited :]
"blah's reblogs" is me rbing my own art/other posts that I probably made at some ungodly hour that I still want to be seen
"just blahs" is my talking tag , and "cookies rambles <3" , "icy asks !" , "silly zilly" , "jay !!" , "hi laurie !!" , "cgi says !" and "vik !!" are a few of my friend's talking tags for when they decide to have full conversations in my ask box <3 "tj anon" and "gothweebcleats anon" are exactly what they sound like , beloved anons who occasionally appear to talk about their guys <3
I use the tags "tag games" and "ask games" so if you see some post tagged w that you can probably scroll back through that tag for a minute to see which ask game I'm replying to !
I also tag most art/outfit memes with "art meme" , so if you wanna send me a req please do ! however if I rbed it more than like . a few days before you ask I would like it if you specified which one you're talking abt 😅
"luca my beloved" is the tag for my oc Luca and his partner Mitch, I'm always happy to receive asks abt either of em or outfit suggestions or literally anything tbh dbjdjdjdn I just like thinking abt them and getting questions abt them

five favorite fics that I've written (for writer appreciation day)
tagged by kat @sleepy-skittles thank u thank u 😘😘
5. in the garden sleeps a messenger — one of two non birdverse fics ive posted!! the target audience for this fic was me, twenty some odd years ago. ((love u bitch 🥰🥰)) anyway. edea and seifer have Thee Most Interesting Dynamic. it is insane to me how little there is about them. theres mommy issues. theres a highly problematic age gap. theres a concerning power dynamic. theres a hot evil milf with a banger aesthetic. theres the time loop or whatever the fuck was going on there. succession of witches defined my life for over a decade. seifer is into petplay i know this i know this. theres SO MUCH to explore here and it's all so underutilized in the game. this fic honestly does not even begin to get into but i consider it a decent first exploration and hopefully when i have time and energy i can do it a bit more justice. as it is though i really enjoy it!!
4. without a me there is no you —
She has the same blush rounding her cheeks and the same quiet, nervous laughter as the young Mór many years ago who muffled her kisses on Niall's mouth.
this bit was floating around in my head with perfectly clarity when i woke up one day and i immediately wrote out about six hundred words surrounding it on my phone before getting out of bed. im really interested in the implications of niall dreaming a docile sweet mannered replacement wife and i thought it would be interesting to explore it a bit from mór's perspective because she would be so impossibly biased. also thought it would be interesting if she fucked above mentioned replacement. this was my first time really trying to inhabit mór which, let me tell you, is really hard when the only canon information is scraps.
3. ambilevous — oh handcat fic, my weird little brain worm. all my fics are elaborate, long overstayed jokes in one way or another but this one i wrote specifically because the concept was just sooooo silly to me. absolutely absurd. certified kk comedy hour. it is, in usual fashion, a thinly veiled exploration of the more fucked up lynch family dynamics and how the barns arent quite what they seem but of course it is.
2. smoke alarms, smoke — my first exploration of the lynch family 🥰 it means a lot to me. i love this fic. the idea of the barns as a beautiful fairy tale ending had always rubbed me the wrong way and of course i love the slow desolation of locations through those that inhabit it which, really, what is the barns if not a haunted house waiting to happen. thats the part thats lacking (unfortunate!!) but i did get to write declan as a sad sad little kiddy which is one of my few life joys. i loved it when i wrote it and i love it now (which is saying a lot). while it isnt everything i want it to be i do very much love what it is!
1. it's a gift to be simple, it's a gift to be free — my aurora character study and probably the best thing ive written thus far...maybe ever. i honestly have no idea what the fuck i was on when i wrote this but god i wish i could get it back. some of my personal favorite prose comes from this fic. its a very personal fic in that i centered the emotional core on some of my own life bullshit. stylistically i owe so much of this fic to catherine valente's comfort me with apples which i had read around then (as if it wasnt obvious). i had already been thinking about aurora and her role in the lynch family but reading that helped solidify the tone i really wanted. this is another fic i sat down, wrote, and edited all in one night. i think if i hadn't posted it then it would've languished in editing hell so im very happy with what i put out.
oh and the recurring knife thing was because i was having feelings about knife maintenance, as one does. (if anyone wants me to come over and sharpen their kitchen knives and make you dinner lmk)
ive seen this passed around and lost track of who's already done it so if you would like participate then i am tagging you now. enjoy ((:

MCALPINE SESSIONS ANON HERE, BESTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I've been MIA, there was a little drama with a certain ship that is prominent on your blog that I just did not wanna deal with lmao. I didn't wanna project my annoyance with the ship onto you so for my sanity, I had to leave BUT I'M HERE NOW AND FERAL FOR SOME UPDATES (or just some shop talk, I need more friends 🥲) I hope you've been doing well though! I saw you were on a little hiatus a while back so I hope everything is good on your side of the universe ❤️
YAAAAAAAY YOURE BACK!!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷 tysm for thé well wishes firstly, things are up and down over here but i’m trying my best to just keep on keeping on and the support means all the world to me! but it’s pride month so i’ve been trying have more fun and just enjoy it, i’m hoping to see some of the new marvel releases soon and OMGGG THE NEW CAP 4 content i am barking i am feral SAM LOOKS SO GOOD HES BACK HES BAAAAAACK
in terms of fic ive been writing a little bit but not as much as i’d like bc i’ve been pretty busy with life and also the rpg i’m currently modding lol HOWEVER i’ve locked in some new plot points and my definite plan once time frees up for me in a few months is a full rewatch of all 3 cap films and maybe even sam’s other cameos (and maybe fatws…. not sure yet, that one i saw more recently and a LOT of time has to pass before i can stomach rewatching anything if i ever do at all, even my favorite things, bc my attention span SUCKS lmao) + hopefully i’ll be able to crank out some of the scenes for the fic set within that time frame (bc i’ve been writing most of the ones that happen post cacw) and then it’ll be done! or ready to be beta’d at least… which… if ur interested 👀 i cant remember what my last update for u was about so i’ll update this post with a new snippet once it’s been shared <33
edit: here it is!!
the front door slammed, and sam dropped his keys on the counter before appearing upside down above them. to his credit, he did not seemed phased to find them tangled up underneath the couch’s throw blanket in the middle of the day.
“what’s this about hickeys, and why am i getting them?”
“bucky’s retired.” steve offered by way of explanation, raising his free arm to pull sam closer. even so, they couldn’t quite reach without him doubled over the frame, so he wandered down the hallway to change out of his clothes before steve could kiss him.
the problem is all the scenes post cacw after they get together are sort of just random which means it goes from this intense emotional will they won’t they with a touch of actual canon events created non romantic tension to this slush of fluff and domesticity and no real stakes anymore hahahahaha like idk where to go with it??? beyond just. making them cuddle more LMAO so…. any suggestions from the people lmk
i hope you’ve been doing well yourself and taking care of yourself and i as always look forward to hearing from you again soon :))) with regards to the ship drama, i am SOOOO curious could u elaborate??? was the drama related to my blog or just like generally in the fandom? DONT LEAVE ME HANGIN WHAT WAS THE SHIP 👀👀👀 i don’t feel like i post that many so i’m so intrigued which it could be lol since i’m assuming it’s not sambucky and probably (??) not stevebucky (tho maybe)
but seriously though i’d love to know bc i don’t want my account to be uncomfy for anyone but least of all my fav anon x so if i need to update my tagging system for u to properly blacklist my posts about it or anything of the sort pls lmk, either here (and i can answer privately too if you’d prefer 🤍) or messaging me! plus if by drama there’s smth actually problematic im rb i absolutely wanna be informed and aware of it! i will confess i’m quite curious as to who my secret admirer could be ;)) and i appreciate ur honesty!
until the next meeting, be well and lots of love 🫶🏻

This Way: Part 4
Tumblr media
*not my gif*
Pairing: Tom Holland x Actress! reader
Word Count: 3580
Warnings: still a crazy ass bih lol. I can’t stop with the drama sorryyy
Summary: Y/n starts noticing how weird Tom is being and decides to confront him.
A/N: I think I’m going to post two days in a row then have one day off, but like a sis is nearing the end of her school year so let’s hope I stick with it haha. Please lmk if you’re enjoying this/ have any constructive criticism. ALSO I need help like ded ass don’t know if I’m stupid or if it’s tumblr’s fault, but when I tag people some of the tags don’t work :/ BUT don’t hesitate to ask to be a part of the tag list :) 
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
+++
*week and a half before lock down*
You opened the door to the flat exhausted after a long day of filming and walked into the living room to see Tom busy on his laptop. He looked up, 
“Oh hi, y/n.” He shut his laptop and stood up, you gave him a strange look.
“Leaving already? Do I smell or something?” You joked and flopped on the couch. Tom has been acting really strange with you after the dinner with his family. Lately he’s been leaving you alone whenever one of the boys got up to leave as well. ‘Was he feeling awkward about being friends?’ you thought to yourself. 
“Oh no no you don’t smell. You always smell nice,” He blushed because he said too much, “Just need to work on this script, Harry’s been on my ass about it.” He said and began to walk away before you could reply.
“What? Not even gonna ask how my day was... you know like a friend?” You teased and Tom sighed and squeezed his eyes shut and turned around
“How was your day, y/n?”
“It was long, tiring, and someone was really rude to me on the set.” You sighed and waited for him to sit back down so he could listen, but he never did, “Ok then… how about your day, Tom?” This was starting to get awkward, 
“Didn’t really do anything, just ate and worked on the first act of the movie, which still isn’t done so if you’ll excuse me I’m going to my room now.” He said quickly, turning around again walking away.
“How rude. ‘Ya let’s be friends, y/n, it’ll be fun.’” You grumbled and mimicked him in an annoyed voice. Tom heard and felt really bad to pretend he didn’t.
-
You were now sitting on Harry’s bed watching him edit his short film and eating ice cream, he listened to how your day went,
“And oh my god one of the stunt fighter guys was being a straight up asshole,” You rolled your eyes eating another spoonful of ice cream,
“How so?” Harry asked
“Well I kept messing up this one stunt where I was in heels and we ended up filming it 7 times. I mean I felt bad for wasting time, but that was until the dickhead said, ‘I don’t even know why they casted you, it’s a simple stunt just get this shit down already so we can move on!’” You said in a deep voice mimicking the guy, “I was so embarrassed, but thankfully Ryan stood up for me. Still ruined my day though.”
“What the hell? What kinda asshole-,” He got up from his spot on the bed all riled up, “Who is this guy? I’m gonna end him. Does he even realize how damn hard it is to do a stunt in heels?” You laughed at Harry’s protectiveness, “Tom literally took half a day to film one stunt and he wasn’t in heels!” You shrugged.
“Sit your ass back down. Thanks for trying to protect me, but everything will be fine, I’m strong. It’s business gotta suck it up.” He rolled his eyes and jumped on you with a bear hug. You laughed and tried to push him off of you, but he was too heavy. 
“Harry, you bitch, I can’t breathe.”
“I just want to protect my best friend.” He said before letting you go and going back to editing.
“Speaking of Tom, have you noticed that he’s avoiding me?” You asked quickly.
“Huh? I haven’t noticed anything of the sort. I mean you guys are both really busy right now aren’t you?” You nodded and rested your head on Harry’s shoulder,
“I mean I guess, but haven’t you noticed like yesterday when you left the kitchen Tom rushed a bit to leave also?” 
“Oh yeah I forgot about that, it was quite strange now that I think about it.” 
“Yeah Tom’s been doing that to me ever since we left your parents’ house. And when I got home today I tried to talk to him about my day, because you know I thought he’s my friend, and he just said he really needed to work on the script and left to his room!”
“Hmm, I did tell him to finish the first act by tomorrow, but he’s been working in the living room all day. Said something about his room being more of a distraction. Also it’s not like Tom to leave without hearing someone out. He always listens.” You just sighed,
“I guess he thinks it’s still weird to be friends. I tried, sorry, Harry.”
“Please don’t give up just yet, y/n, maybe he’s just stressed or something. You know I wouldn’t want to pick sides.” You nodded and started to drift off to sleep and felt Harry remove the bowl from your lap.
-
“Y/n, love, wake up.” you were being shaken by Harry.
“Huh? Oh sorry, did I fall asleep?” You asked groggily and he laughed,
“Yeah and I finished editing the short film!” You jumped up no longer tired anymore.
“Oh my god yay, Harry! Can I see it now pleaseeee?” You jumped up and down on the bed.
“Tomorrow, love, it’s 1 am now and I want to show everyone in the house at the same time.” You pouted and he laughed.
“Fine then be like that. But I’m proud of you.” You hugged him, “Good night, Harry, can’t wait to see the finished product!” 
“Night, love.” He chuckled and you walked out with your empty dish.
You pulled out your phone and opened the Instagram app to see that Tom posted something on his story about 30 minutes ago. It was a picture of the script and his foot captioned, “Working on something big, like my big toe.” You giggled a bit and muttered, “Idiot.” The next story post was from Tuwaine, it was a picture you all took together after breakfast when Tom burnt himself. You were laying across the boys’ laps and Tom was happily looking down at your smiling face. It was captioned, “If lock down happens, it’ll be a real party with these people.” You smiled and reposted it to your story.
As soon as you reached the kitchen you saw Tom sitting at the counter and typing away on his laptop.
“Hey, Tom, still working?” Tom jumped at the sound of your voice.
“Jesus, don’t scare me like that. And yes I couldn’t sleep, b-but I think I’m getting tired now.” He was about to close his laptop and leave, but you stopped him. 
“Oh my god… I’m just gonna put my dish in the sink and leave.” His frazzled expression turned to a relaxed one and he sat back down typing again, refusing to look at you. You began to walk away then felt the urge to ask,
“Tom, a-are you avoiding me?” It came out quieter than you thought, you felt vulnerable. He stopped typing for a brief moment when you asked.
“No, definitely not. Why’d you think that?” You walked back to the counter and stood across him leaning on the surface.
“I’ve been noticing that you're in a rush to leave the room when we’re alone…” Tom continued to type, but incorrectly because of his nerves. 
“Oh, I-I’m sorry, love, didn’t mean for you to think that. I’m just busy is all, I promise.” He said and pointed at the laptop.
“Too busy to hear your friend rant about her day?” You asked and he sighed. His heart dropped when you called yourself his friend.
“I’m afraid so, love. Now why don’t you go sleep don’t you have to film tom-” You cut him off getting tired of the excuses,
“Tom cut the shit, I know you’re avoiding me and I don’t get why.” Tom sighed as you rambled and he put his laptop to the side because he wasn’t getting anything done, “I really appreciate you letting me stay here, but shouldn’t we at least talk a little bit? I mean I was ready to be friends with you for Harry’s sake and then we talked at the dinner and then I was genuinely ready to start off on a new foot. I’ve been trying so hard to reach out to you and you’re literally avoiding me now. Like are you even trying at all? Because I don’t-” Your eyes began to water. Tom got too frustrated and cut you off,
“Y/n I can’t talk about this right now. Please, it’d be better if we discussed this another time.”
“What the hell? Are you being serious? You were a dick when we broke up, you were a dick when I tried to reach out to you, and now you’re being a dick for putting our so called ‘friendship’ on ho-”
“Y/n, stop! Ok? I get it. You can call me a dick and an asshole whatever you want, but this is all for you! Everything I do is for you or because of you! So just leave me the fuck alone, please.” His voice cracked when he said the last sentence. 
“What the hell are you talking about? What are you doing for me?” You stared at him confused.
“I can’t say anything, it’s for the best. Just drop it.” You looked at one another, tears threatening to fall out of Tom’s eyes, you hadn’t noticed you were already crying.
“No. I’m not gonna leave until you tell me what’s going on, Tom. I care for you and I want to be here for you, just tell me what’s going on please.” He looked at you and furrowed his brows making tears stream down his cheeks, it hurt to see you so sad especially since he caused it. He turned around in distress and brushed his hands through his hair before turning back to you. He looked into your eyes and sighed knowing there was no way out of this situation.
“I’ve been avoiding you because I told Allana you’re my ex.” 
“Ok and what’s so ba-”
“Let me finish, y/n, please.” You apologized softly.
“I told her not to tell anyone because I didn’t want to break the promise of letting the world know that we dated. A-and she threatened to spill the secret if I didn’t stay away from you. She said if I ever told anyone about what she said or if she ever saw me close to you again she’d expose us right away. I-I didn’t want to jeopardize our friendship because I decided to be honest to my two-faced girlfriend.” All this information hit you like a train.
“Wow, what. a. fucking. Bitch.” You said stunned, Tom scoffed.
“I feel like an idiot for not listening to the boys and not seeing the red flags.” He sat back down and put his head in his hands. 
“Hey don’t worry, I didn’t notice anything either. Hell I tried to help her. Maybe we’re too gullible…” What you said didn’t really help so Tom began to sob a bit. You walked over to his side and put a hand on his forearm so that he could look at you. His heart was racing at your touch.
“Look, I know Allana is bat shit crazy, but…” You paused thinking if this was a good thing to tell him, “I uh I don’t think I can have you avoiding me all the time, I want you in my life,” He looked up at you surprised, “a-as a friend.” His heart dropped, was that all you were ever going to see him as? A damn friend? 
“Ok, but Allana will tell everyone, and I know how much you care about your privacy.” He said with a stuffy nose, you grabbed a tissue for yourself and Tom.
“I know, but we’ll figure out a way. We were clever enough to hide a 6 month relationship.” You smiled, but you both felt sad when you mentioned your past. He got up and wrapped you in his arms tightly. You swayed back and forth as you felt wet droplets fall on the top of your head, and you soaked Tom’s white t-shirt. You both weren’t crying only because of what just happened, but because you missed one another in a way that words can’t explain. You let out the tears you didn’t cry from when Tom didn’t respond to you and remembered the nights you’d go through old pictures of you and him alone. Tom was crying out all the tears he wanted to let out when he saw that picture of you and Gavin and from the nights that he craved your touch. He tightened his arms around you like it was the last time he’d ever see you. 
“Allana might be watching from outside the window, I’m gonna let you go now.” You said and Tom chuckled sadly letting you go, “We’ll talk about what we can do about this situation in the morning or another time.” You smiled kindly at Tom and he nodded. Tom grabbed your hand softly before you could walk away and pulled you close. You gulped because of how close you were to him,
“Thanks for being so kind, sleep well. Goodnight, y/n.” You smiled and replied,
“Thanks for being more kind to me. Goodnight.” You gave him one last hug and walked away feeling relieved while Tom still felt guilty despite what you said. He still felt like he needed to do more.
-
You woke up at 8 AM feeling a lot happier for some reason. Maybe it was because you cleared things up with Tom last night or because you were going to film a really exciting scene today with some new people. 
You walked into the kitchen, “Goodmorning boys!” You said enthusiastically walking up behind where Harry was seated and gave him a hug from behind.
“Ew why’re you happy?” Harry asked, still tired. 
“Morning, y/n!!” Tuwaine and Haz said in unison. You grabbed a bowl and poured yourself a bowl of cereal.
“Harry, when are we gonna watch your film, I can’t wait any longer.” You complained.
“Maybe when you come back from set, I want to go back to sleep after I eat.”
“Ugh you’re so lazy.” You joked, “where’s Tom, isn’t he usually up by now?”
Tuwaine looked at the other boys then at you apologetically, “He uh left around 5 this morning.”
“Oh for an early workout or something?” You asked, taking a bite of cereal.
“No,” Tuwaine cleared his throat, “to Berlin, Germany.” You choked on your cereal. 
“Wait what, you’re joking I thought he leaves in 3 days.” 
“I don’t know exactly why he left, something about needing a few days for himself before filming. Which I understand because he’s been working hard.” Haz said and you furrowed your brows, was it because of what happened last night? Harry noticed your concern.
“Y/n, do you know exactly why he left?” You wanted to tell him, but you couldn’t. If the boys found out what Allana said they’d definitely do something about it and you couldn’t let that happen. You shook your head,
“Nope, I’m just as confused as you are.” You said coolly.
-
“Are you sure you don’t know what was making Tom stressed?” Harry asked as he pulled up in front of the studio.
“Ya, I’m sure. He’s avoiding me, remember?” It pained you to lie to Harry like that, but you weren’t sure if you were ready to let the world know you and Tom dated. Harry looked like he didn’t believe you, but he let it go.
“Ok then… Text or call when you need me to pick you up.” You thanked him again for dropping you off and walked to the set. You saw Lana and walked with her,
“Hey, babes, did you see the text from Melissa?” You shook your head no. Melissa was in charge of scheduling which scenes would be filmed every day, “She said everyone needed to meet at crafty’s before going to sound stage 32.” 
“Really? Why?” 
“Not quite sure, but there’s been rumors that filming will be postponed.” Lana said sadly.
“Wait, you’re joking.” She shrugged and shook her head as you guys entered the food tent, everyone already looking disappointed.
“Hi everyone, as many of you know Covid-19 was just announced as a world wide pandemic and we’ve just been shut down from shooting anymore scenes at least for two weeks.” Melissa said everyone groaning, “Yes I know this sucks, but please stay safe and healthy while we’re shut down. If you have a trailer here please make sure you clear all your things out because there will be a cleaning team here in two days to…” You drowned Melissa’s voice out
“Just when I thought this day couldn’t get any worse…” You sighed and dropped your head on Lana’s shoulder and she patted your head.
“Lastly make sure you all stay in the same shape you are in now, so nothing looks different when we resume shooting.” Melissa hopped off the table and everyone began to clear out to get their things. You called Harry telling him the sad news. 
-
“I’m so upset, Harry, today sucks.” He patted your thigh as he made a right turn.
“It’ll be ok, love. I’m sure you will go back to filming in no time and you’ll actually miss having a break.” You just leaned your head on the window wondering if Tom at least made it safely to Berlin, and in that exact moment your phone pinged. 
Tom: Hi, y/n, I assume the boys have already told you that I left for Berlin. I just landed. I’m really sorry for not giving a warning, but the space is for the best. I hope you can understand xx
You were upset with everything and everyone at this point and Tom’s text just ruined your mood more. How does he know what’s best for you? Mad and feeling petty you texted back,
You: k.
Tom: Please, trust me, y/n. This will help out our situation.
You: Last time I checked running away from your problems never helps the situation.
You threw your phone back into your purse annoyed.
“Oh shit, what the fuck is she doing here?” Harry asked, displeased. You looked up to see Allana pulling into the driveway just before you and Harry did. 
“Great. Just fucking great. Harry, I think I’m gonna scream.”
“I think I will too. Can we just drive around until she’s gone?”
“That would be nice, but I think she already spotted us and won’t leave.” You pointed at her going to sit down on the porch. Harry groaned and pulled into the driveway. As soon as you and Harry stepped out the car she stood up and barked,
“Where the hell is Tom? He hasn’t texted me since yesterday afternoon, today is our 5 month anniversary.” Well that makes things more complicated. Harry looked at you with wide eyes, “What? Why’re you looking at her like that? Did you have something to fucking do with this, y/n?” She said giving you the dirtiest look ever. ‘Bitch I hope it wasn’t because of me.’ You thought. Harry got closer to you in protective mode.
“No no I swear. We were all surprised to see Tom gone this morning.”
“Gone? Where the hell is he?” 
“He went to Berlin early. Now if you’ll excuse us we’d like to relax in our home.” Harry said not letting you talk, almost standing in front of you now. You both began to walk past her, but she squeezed your arm tight and yanked you back. You winced in pain.
“You bitch what did you do? Don’t even think about fucking lying to me.” Her eyes burned into your soul.
“Allana, what the fuck you’re crazy! back off!” Harry said, pulling you back behind him, “I suggest you leave now before things get more ugly.” He said in the most intimidating way possible.
“Ok, but the only thing ugly about this is whatever y/n did with Tom. I don’t doubt for a second that you’re a stupid whore. I saw that photo of you laying on him last night, and I’ve seen how you flirt with Tom you sk-”
“Allana that’s enough, go now!” Harry yelled and she looked surprised. She glared at you before stepping back, “Stay the fuck away from Tom he doesn’t need your ugly ass all over him.” “Allana, sweetie, we live in the same house. Quite dumb of you to think we can really stay away from one another.” You laughed darkly as tears of anger welled up in your eyes.
“Ok then, cunt. Go near him, I dare you. You have no idea what I’m capab-”
“Allana, I said fucking leave!” Harry was tired of this shit. Allana scoffed and finally drove away.
Harry turned to you cradling you in his arms as you let tears fall down your face, “I hate today…” you hiccuped, “a lot.” 
“I know, I know.” He cooed. You looked up at him, “I know something is up, y/n. You need to tell me why my brother really left so I can help you.” You sighed and nodded.
“Ok let’s get you cleaned up.” He kept you close to his side and you both walked in. Tom was so wrong thinking him leaving would solve anything.

January Writing Prompt List ❄️
I really want to do a different writing prompt list every month and have you all send me numbers and a character if you want or I’ll just randomly pick one if I run out of ideas. However, I couldn’t find one that I liked and I don’t want to steal anyone else’s so I’m compiling my own list each month (hopefully). I’m pulling all of these from Pinterest btw but some of them have been taken from tumblr and posted there so I’ll tag for credit if I can, if I don’t credit something that’s yours, pls lmk and I will. If I’ve edited them, it was either to make it flow better in dialogue form or to change the pronouns to they/them/their.
Note: I’m only going to do each prompt once and I’ll cross it out here when I do.
So here goes nothing:
1. “All that ‘You can’t love someone unless you love yourself first’ mess is bullshit. I have never loved myself. But you, oh god, I love you so much I forgot what hating myself felt like.” (edited)
2. “Awfully confident aren’t you?” “I can kill every person in this room before most of them have a chance to get to their feet. Skills like that do wonders for a persons self confidence.”
3. “I don’t know how but I’m going to blame you for all my problems.”
4. “You occupy a very small space in a very large world, but your conscience is ever the umbrella. You also have a cute butt.” -This as well as numbers 2 and 3 were from @shitmygaywifesays and was things their wife has said to their cat but I thought they’d make good prompts too lol, hope you don’t mind!
5. “This movie is really scary, but you’re into it so I’m trying not to cover my face the whole time, but- WHAT IS THAT?”
6. Character A tilts Character B’s chin up to get a better look at their face and the evidence of the fight. A delicately thumbs away the streak of blood by B’s mouth, saying nothing as they examine it. After a brief pause, B’s heart skips a nervous beat as A looks them dead in the eyes. Their voice is quiet and tense, their anger barely restrained. “Who did this to you?” - @whumpster-dumpster
7. “Bite me.” “Eat me.” “Kiss my ass.”
8. “You have to tell me why were committing a felony before we do it. Not that that’s going to stop us, but at least I’ll have all the facts.”
9. “Call me that one more time, see what happens.”
10. “It’s pitch black in here and I can see you’re blushing.”
11. They pointed across the room. “Who’s that?” “Someone you don’t want to mess with. I heard that...” Too late. They were already walking over there. (edited)
12. “I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, ‘I’m going to mop the floor with your face.’ I said, ‘You’ll be sorry.’ He said, ‘Oh, yeah? Why?’ I said, ‘Well, you won’t be able to get into the corners very well.’”
13. “I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila.”
14. “If being clumsy was a currency, I’d be a bloody billionaire.”
15. “Sorry, I have a clingy and feverish assassin on my lap. I’ll call you back when I’ve convinced them that a cold doesn’t mean they’re dying.” (edited)
16. Person A getting really annoyed with their tangled headphones and Person B just taking them off them and doing it for them.
17. Person A seeing that Person B’s shoelace is undone and instead of telling them, they just do it themselves.
18. “Did any of these assholes mess with you?” “No, you’ve marked your territory so hard they’re scared to even say ‘hello’”
19. “I’ve had a rough day and honestly all I want right now is a drink and someone to cuddle with...”
20. “Do you need a hand?” “Does it look like I need your help?” “Do you really want me to answer that or would you like to maintain plausible deniability for later?”
21. “Don’t tell me you’re fine, I can see the blood!”
22. “Is it still murder if I give them a heads up?” “That’s called a threat.” “Damn.”
23. “You keep pointing that gun at me and blabbering on about how much you’ve been wanting to kill me. I’m beginning to doubt your committment...”
And my personal favorites from @chounemui, Responses to: “We have a problem.”:
24. “Let me guess. You caused it?”
25. “No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps getting into one.”
26. “Gimme a sec, I’m not drunk enough to listen to this yet.”
27. “And it’s another Tuesday, what’s your point?”
28. “If you mean the flaming pillar, that’s our solution to the last week’s problem.”
29. “Would shooting you solve the problem? No? Then get out.”
30. “You call it a problem. I call it a solution.”

so the other day i reblogged a post and vagued about my issues with gk’s framing of iraqi tragedies in the tags, which was then replied to and that reply was circulated. while the reply was awesome/insightful/interesting i feel like my original point sorta got lost in the shuffle. i wasnt going to make a post about this for a bit but i feel like its been consuming my thoughts all day so i’ll elaborate what i meant under the cut! 
gen kill is david simon show, so like all david simon shows the thesis is “people exist in inside of a broken system.” in this case, the broken system is the marine corps chain of command and the people are the marines who have to carry out senseless orders. this is shown in many ways, including pointless dangerous missions (see: the bridge, danger close, etc.), how capable enlisted men are vs. most officers, how the “only good officer” nate is punished for rational choices, and how the marines have their spirits crushed because they are forced to senselessly kill iraqi civilians.
when i was in first year of undergrad i took an african studies class that in one seminar problematicized coverage of the Rwandan Genocide: how many times have you heard/read a Romeo Dallaire interview/account? how many times have you read/heard an interview from a genocide survivor? how many times have you seen pictures of bodies/skulls of genocide victims? the answer for the average person is a lot, hardly ever, a lot. with the iraq invasion, the questions would be: how many times have you heard the accounts of coalition soldiers about the iraq war across media types? how many times have you heard accounts of it from the iraqi civilian perspective? how many times have you seen statistics regarding the amount of iraqi civilian casualties? a lot, hardly ever, a lot.
that is all to say that in western media/society we are very comfortable listening to white narratives and just seeing brown bodies, which translates into only hearing white narratives of the tragedies of the deaths of others in foreign countries. in generation kill, iraqi civilian casualties/fatalities/tragedies are framed so that we feel sympathy for the marines that caused them as opposed to those suffering. that is not to say that we as the audience do not feel sympathy (i certainly do!) but it is because of our own internal empathy, not the narrative framing of the show.
let’s take a look at three of the biggest cases of iraqi civilian tragedy and how they’re framed in the show:
first, when rudy goes up to the roadblock and sees the dead little girl in episode 4. we get quite a few shots of the father’s shell-shocked face, but just as many are shots of rudy’s horror/sadness; we watch him walk away from behind from rudy’s perspective and we see that rudy is unable to look away from them. rudy didn’t actually have anything to do with it (aside from abetting i suppose), but even when he gets back to camp the show makes sure to illustrate how affected by it he is, ignoring brad and ray who call out to him. this one is actually surprisingly gk’s best example of eliciting sympathy for iraqi casualties; however, the focus of the scene is still on rudy and the father’s reaction is still mostly used to contribute to rudy’s guilt/horror.
the next scene is the little shepherd boys who were shot by trombley while out with their camels. we see the mom crying over her son, but its basically background noise and is if anything used to further the marines’ (particularly brad and doc bryan to a lesser extent) guilt at causing the situation. we know this because her actions don’t exist independently: they are used for the marines to react to. we also get considerably more shots of marines looking on in horror than her crying about her son. brad’s guilt/sadness about the subject is dwelled on for about twenty minutes over the next two episodes, longer than any of the actual victims’ screen-time dedicated to their feelings combined.
the worst scene is the man in the white car, which sets off the main drama for the next episode. we get why walt did it- the show goes out of its way to make sure that we do- but at the end of the day a man is still dead, likely for no reason. in the aftermath we get about a hundred heartbreaking shots of walt’s shocked face, with a few of brad thrown in as well. on the other hand, we get no shots of the people in the car being horrified at seeing someone they know lobotomized. we just see them run away, no sadness no horror no nothing: from the show’s narrative perspective, this man’s death has no impact on anybody except for walt and the other marines. to make matters worse the man’s face is only shown when the marines notice how horrifyingly disfigured his body is; to me this is robbing the real man of his dignity even in death. 
let’s take a step back and look at gen kill’s general portrayal of iraqis. we don’t really get to see the marines interact with civilians until they reach baghdad when they go into rundown neighbourhoods. here, the iraqi men are portrayed as greedy and dumb, cutting in front of children and not understanding that there are other types of government. that’s not to say that that didn’t happen in real life- i’m sure it did- but it’s essentially the ONLY view of iraq civilians we get: ignorant, greedy, backwards, etc. deadass the only sympathetic iraqi characters in episode 7 are children, where we get a couple of UNICEF-esque shots of doc bryan holding crying kids to drive home that guilt factor. i bring this up because it means that the iraqi characters are not written so that you feel bad for them or empathize with their terrible situation. instead, the narrative wants you to empathize with the marines (in this case, particularly nate) who feel guilty for causing this chaos that they can’t do anything to fix it. 
the only other time iraqi civilians even have lines is when a refugee women tells brad about how he is destroying her home, but even then the point of that isn’t really her pain but how brad feels guilty/ashamed about what the usmc (an institution that is part of identity more than anyone else) is doing that; also she’s attacking brad who really had nothing to do with the baghdad situation and already feels guilty about other things, so its just creating more material for brad’s identity/guilt crisis and our sympathies for it.
all of this to say is that in basically every single case civilian tragedies don’t exist in the narrative on their own: they are used for the marine main characters to react to: the village. the truck crew. the men at the roadside. even the syrian student.
also @sunnygreys replied to some tags i made alluding to this issue. you should read what they wrote bc it’s a really interesting counterweight to what i’m saying and offers a different perspective. but anyway basically they mention certain lines where people are like “no ones forcing us to be here.” particularly notable was when godfather says that no one is forced to be here because they’re all volunteers in episode 3. my view of this has always been that saying that is ignorance on his part and another symptom of the broken command system. godfather chose to be career military,  he chose to accept the mission, he chose to change the ROE, etc: there was no gun to his head. for the enlisted men, the ones on the bottom who actually carried out the mission that injured the boys, they are pretty much being forced to be there by their circumstances. out of all the marines we interact with in the series, im pretty sure brad is the only enlisted man who comes from wealth and by extension had other options, while most others either implicitly or explicitly grew up in impoverished/unstable households: poverty is the new draft. thats sorta between the lines, but i imagine david simon knows that because of his previous work on poverty. what isnt between the lines is that the command system DOES force men in lower ranks to “be there” and carry out order: they can get NJPed for disobeying, they sign contracts that they’ll be dishonourably discharged and lose their benefits if they break, etc. there’s no gun to their head physically but metaphorically its pretty close. to me at least, those lines are not narratively placed to make us sympathize less with the marine main characters but instead to make us sympathize with them even more, because it shows how disconnected command really is. david simon is a huge dick irl but he’s a really clever writer.
again, i reiterate that we as the audience likely feel sympathy for the iraqi population because for most people its naturally sad when people die/get injured/etc. i think a lot of points i made and ones made by @sunnygreys can be mutually true, but the main difference being that i really don’t believe that gk’s intention was to make us step back and reflect on our sympathy with the “oppressors:” i really do think that’s who the show intends for us to sympathize with most based on their choices in camera shots, who says what, etc. that doesn’t mean we can’t step back and reflect, as i hope many of us have, i just think that was an unintended consequence. (if i’m misconstruing what you said please lmk and ill edit!)
that being said, can’t think of a way that generation kill could have done better in this regard based on the book/characters it had. the marines ARE the main characters and by conventional standards its their narrative/feelings/growth that matters. but just because there may have been no other way doesn’t make it unproblematic. its another example of western media using violence against nameless, distant foreigners for their own horror. 
there are people wandering this earth who are dealing with the loss of the man in the white car, the little girl at the roadblock, an entire village. those little boys, if they’re still alive, probably have to deal with the severe injuries they got when they were shot by marines. those slums of baghdad may still be in unstable today and have likely lost community members due to sanitation/hunger/violence. imagine knowing that there is a show out there where you or your loved ones are being used as a plot device to make viewers feel sympathy for the ones who put you in those positions. i sympathize deeply with the marines of GK, but i can imagine how hard it would be to be in the iraqi population’s place watching yourself and your experiences interpreted in a way dissociated from your own suffering so that the primary victimhood can be placed on the ones who did it to you. 
in conclusion, i love gen kill a lot. i love the story and the characters, and i think its an effective story in terms of achieving what it seeks to achieve. i think it’s okay to love something and be critical of it. also if western media companies weren’t cowards and weren’t scared of losing american military financial contributions they would make a miniseries about the iraqi people who were terrorized by american invaders, including the ones we love in gk!

Facade: A Call for Revenge
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12
Rowan pounded his hand hard on Aelin's door anger fueling him. He knew it was her. It couldn't be anyone else. She was grinning as she opened the door, already dressed for bed in a skimpy nightgown.
"Did you need something?"
"Besides your head on a spike?" He asked.
"I'm glad your wicked skin condition has cleared up," Aelin said, leaning against the doorway, "It looked bad."
"I went to the hospital," Rowan growled, "I thought there was an actual problem. I found the foundation. I know you switched it out. People think I'm dying."
"I know! You're trending on Twitter," Aelin said, making Rowan want to knock that smug smile right off her face.
"It's one thing to screw with me between us, it's another to do it on live fucking camera. I mean peel off foundation? Are you kidding me?"
"You scratched my car to all hell!"
"After you rammed into mine!"
"Mine was an accident!"
"We had a deal to keep our shit out of the public," Rowan snapped.
"We can write it off as a prank between friends, right buddy?"
"Watch your back," Rowan threatened, storming off.
"Kiss my ass!" She shouted after him. Rowan stomped his way back to his house, slamming the door behind him. He ran a hand through his long locks, huffing as he tried to calm down. Just then his phone buzzed, alerting him he was getting a call. He pulled his phone out, seeing Fenrys' contact.
"What?" Rowan asked brashly.
"I saw your little incident on Twitter," he said, completely ignoring Rowan’s tone, "Figured you could use a big out to forget about your condition."
"I'm not fucking sick and you know it," Rowan growled.
"I know, I know. Still. Let's have a boys' night. You could find a pretty girl to take your mind off things." Of course that was his first solution.
"I don't need a pretty girl, I need hard liquor. I'll meet you at the bar in twenty." Rowan knew refusing would just mean the party being brought to him.
"Sweet! The gang's gonna meet us there. If you're late I'm hunting you down." Rowan hung up and went to his bedroom to switch out his clothes to attempt to get the hospital smell off of him. 
After changing he hopped in his car and headed down to the bar. He parked and headed inside to see the Cadre, as Aelin called them, already gathered at the bar, along with Aedion.
“Better watch out, we don’t want to catch what he’s got,” Lorcan said as soon as he saw Rowan, a smirk on his lips. Rowan flipped him the bird and ordered shots from the bartender, taking down all four in succession.
“Aelin managed to pull one over on you again?” Gavriel chuckled, taking a sip from his own drink. He was older than the others, but still fit in just as well.
“We were even,” Rowan said, “But now she’s gotta go and pull this shit.”
“You knew she’d have to retaliate. Aelin doesn’t know the meaning of the high road,” Aedion said.
“Like you have room to talk. You and her once fought for a month straight because you both refused to admit you were wrong,” Gavriel said before he turned to Lorcan, “The funny part was that Elide was actually the one who borrowed Aelin’s hairbrush to start the argument in the first place.”
“I’m not even a little surprised,” Lorcan chuckled, taking a drink from his beer.
“Is that what happens to you to make your hair look like such shit?” Fenrys quipped. Lorcan cast him a smug look.
“That’s not from the hairbrush, that’s from her hands.” Rowan rolled his eyes, ordering one more shot. Vaughn cheered.
“Rowan is getting hammered tonight!”
“It’s the only way to deal with having a loudspeaker for a neighbor,” Rowan said.
“If it’s any consolation, it’s a school night, so Aelin will be keeping it down at least until Evangeline’s up.”
“I need to get back at her,” Rowan said as the buzz started to set in, “I have to. It’s non-negotiable.”
“You two always have to get back at each other. Maybe the best thing for you to do is nothing at all,” Connall said.
“Yeah right. I think I’m going to egg her house,” Rowan said.
“Seriously? Egg her house? What are you? Twelve?” Lorcan asked.
“No no no no no,” Vaughn said, “You have to wait. Part of your guys’ problem is that you’re too quick to react. You don’t let the knowledge that the revenge is coming do half the work for you. Wait and think of something good.”
“I’ve already got something in mind,” Rowan said, “Slightly illegal, but something.”
“Slightly?” Gavriel laughed.
“Well, technically it’d involve breaking and entering,” Rowan said, “But I might actually be able to get her to let me in if I play my cards right.”
“How come even on boys’ night, all we end up talking about are the girls?” Connall asked.
“Because women are life’s greatest pleasure, my brother,” Fenrys said, patting him on the back, “Speaking of, I see one that would make rather nice company right over there.” Rowan followed Fenrys’ gaze and saw a woman with light brown skin and shoulder length dark hair. She was moderately tall and gave off a strong, silent air. But Rowan recognized her.
“That’s Nesryn,” he informed Fenrys, “And she’s got a boyfriend.” As if on cue, Sartaq stepped up to her side, placing an arm around her waist, whispering something into her ear that made her nod and follow him to the dartboard.
“How do you know her?” Aedion asked.
“I’ve seen her go over to Aelin’s when she has her parties,” Rowan huffed, “She’s also on the same show as Dorian and Chaol. I’ve seen a few episodes. It’s pretty good.”
“Not as good as ours though,” Fenrys said, raising his glass, “To the new season.” They all raised their drinks to that.
“Are you ready for it to air?” Gavriel asked Rowan, “You know the interviews are going to really start to pile up once the season finishes on air. And all anyone’s going to want to talk about is you and Aelin.”
“We keep our shit out of the news. Or at least we’re supposed to, but now she had to go and pull that stunt this morning…”
“That can totally be written off as a prank between friends,” Vaughn said.
“It still pisses me off,” Rowan said, “But I’ve got my ideas. This isn’t over.”
“What are you planning on doing with the truck?” Lorcan asked. After buying the old, beat-up truck off of Emrys, Rowan had used it to scratch up Aelin’s car and then just left it in his garage.
“I don’t know. I might try and fix it, just to have something to do. But I don’t know shit about cars,” Rowan said.
“Good thing it’s a truck then,” Fenrys joked.
“I’ll figure something out,” Rowan replied. He could always just scrap it, but looking at it brought back the fond memory of getting to scratch up Aelin’s car, so he wasn’t inclined to. And he had been planning on trying to learn how to fix up vehicles for a while in case of an emergency. 
He hung out at the bar relatively late into the night before catching a cab home. The long, silent ride home gave his drunken mind time to think. He needed to get her back. And then his drunk brain had an idea. An awful, cruel idea that made him grin.
He pulled out his phone, setting up his plan. If she was going to disturb his life, he was going to disturb hers.
He went into his contacts, carefully working out his plan. He sent a text conversation to himself, deleting the doubled question to make it look like a conversation. Then he edited Aelin’s name and number into the top, to make it look like a friendly conversation between them.
You must think you’re so funny, huh?
Who? Me? What ever did I do?
I know you switched out the foundation, Aelin.
You have to admit I got you pretty good.
I can’t deny that, but the least you could do is tell everyone I’m not dying.
Yeah, yeah, you’re not dying or sick or whatever. Just PRANKED.
Rowan nodded in satisfaction at the conversation and screenshotted it, going to Twitter.
Confirmation that I am, indeed, not dying. Nice to have friends that keep you on your toes.
He smirked to himself as he posted it, her phone number visible at the top for his millions of followers to see

Snapped
Tumblr media
Fandom: Marvel
Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader
Words: 1294
Warnings: none, just a sad lil Steve
Tags: @trees-and-ink @spencerzschau @patzammit @achishisha @princess-evans-addict
edit: part one; part two; part four ; part five
AN: sorry this took so long but here is part 3 to my story The Snap. I also have an idea for a part 4 if anyone is interested lmk 
Steve awoke slowly, his body being slightly shook in a rocking manner. When his eyes opened, he peered up through blurry, bloodshot eyes at Natasha. He winced as he tried to sit up, realizing he was on a floor.
“Steve,” a male voice chimed in. “We were worried you’d gone off somewhere.” The voice chuckled.
The soldier managed to sit up with Natasha guiding him, his head spinning slightly as he glanced behind her at Bruce standing, looking out of place and uncomfortable. “Easy.” Nat commanded. Steve brought a hand up and rubbed his eyes and the bridge of his nose until he pulled his hand away and down to his thigh with an echoing slap, remembering what happened. You were gone.
He quickly glanced around the space, your apartment as empty as ever despite being full of more people than normal. A pain ran through his chest. “Y/N… she—“ his voice caught in his throat. “She’s—“
“We know.” Nat interrupted so he didn’t have to say it aloud. When she noticed his eyes lifelessly moving around the space in front of him again, she offered him a hand to help pull him to his feet. He looked up and grabbed it, Bruce quickly stepping over to offer a hand to the other side, the pair pulling him up.
Steve looked behind him towards the window overlooking the city streets below. The sun was nowhere to be found, but the light was peering over the top of buildings. All was unusually quiet, the feeling making him more uneasy.
Natasha walked over and picked up your phone from the floor handing it to Steve. “We got worried when you didn’t come back.”
Steve took the phone and fiddled with it momentarily, staring at it. “How long was I gone?”
“A-about 14 hours.” Bruce said.
Steve scoffed and laughed simultaneously. “I must’ve been tired.” He chuckled again as a coverup, not sure what else could be said. They all were tired, but that was no excuse. “Where’s Thor? Rhodey?”
“The compound. They’re pretty shaken, but… alive.” Nat glanced down at your ashes covering the ground, careful not to step on them.
Steve stares at your phone in his hands again. “Tony?” He already knew the answer.
Bruce shook his head. “Nothing.” The familiar pain shook Steve’s chest as all the air was removed from his lungs, his eyes closing at the simple word. “We can’t get ahold of Fury either.”
Natasha stepped towards Steve as she noticed his reaction to Bruce’s words. “Why don’t you gather some things to bring to the compound so you don’t have to come back for awhile?”
Steve laughed again, bringing his free hand up and motioning to the door that was laying on the ground instead of securely in its hinges. “I can’t—I’ve got—it’s—“
“I can-I can fix it.” Bruce interjected. Steve sighed, his hand once again dropping to his leg.
“Why don’t you go clean up?” Natasha said as she gently placed her hands on his arm, slowly guiding him towards the bedroom.
Steve reluctantly took the first step and walked towards your bedroom, not wanting to go in there at all. He immediately sighed through his nose as his lungs filled with the familiar scent of your perfume mixed with laundry detergent. You had just washed the bedding the day before, the scent still lingered in the air. The same ache burned through his chest as he walked into the bathroom, the light blinding him as he flicked the switch.
Captain stood still, staring at the sink, his hands resting on the counter as flashbacks of every morning together raced through his mind. Steve was definitely a morning person while you were not. It became routine every morning for him to gently wake you up after he got back from his run. He would go off to the kitchen to begin breakfast while you showered. By the time you were done, he would jump in as you climbed out, standing at the vanity to put on your makeup while he hummed to himself as he bathed. He thought you didn’t know, but he would often sneak peaks of you around the curtain as you were getting ready. Little did he know, you noticed out of the corner of your eye each time he did it.
From the other room, Steve could hear sounds of Bruce and Nat attempting to put the door back on the hinges. He looked up at his reflection, his eyes not nearly as bloodshot as he thought they were. They possessed a near lifelessness of tired as he stared at himself, not sure what to do. His hair had grown quite long alongside his beard, something he only kept for you. He hated how it made him look. He didn’t look like him anymore. The face that he grew up with, that his mother adored when he was a child was gone. Even his eyes no longer matched the same ones from back then.
Steve bent over and reached in the cabinet under the sink, fumbling through bottles and boxes. He grabbed his electric trimmer and pulled it out. He stood up straight and plugged it into the outlet, switching it on, the blades roaring to life. He carefully began to shave his beard, gently following the curve of his neck and chin so prevent getting injured, the clumps of dark hair falling onto the sink below. He continued to shave his face, the rumbling of the blades almost tickling his skin.
When the hair was gone and down to a fine stubble, he shut the blade off and cleaned the sink. He gently tossed the electric trimmer back under the sink not caring where it landed. After pushing the cabinet closed, he walked to the shower and turned the water on, quickly stripping himself out of his suit. He ached. His body, his head, his heart. Everything was in pain. He caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, noticing some small bruises on his back and shoulder, some cuts on his arm. The fight was brutal, but who knew the real cost would come later.
*****
Once Steve was out of the shower, he quickly dressed and threw more clothes into a gym bag. He didn’t bother to go through and pick things out, he just grabbed whatever was in front of him. As he walked about your shared bedroom, he couldn’t help but think of you. The way you looked as you laid in bed waiting on him, how you danced about while you got dressed in the mornings, how you would him to yourself while reading before going to sleep. You made him happy without even trying.
Before walking out of the room, he made sure to grab your phone charger and take your phone with him. He didn’t feel right leaving it. As he walked to the doorway, he stopped in his tracks before turning back around. He slung the bag on his shoulder and walked over to your bedside table. He yanked open the drawer and fumbled inside until he found the envelope. Steve pulled it out and slammed the drawer back, tucking the envelope in his bag.
Walking back to the living room, Natasha and Bruce stood up from the couch as Steve entered, the trio making their way to the door. Steve grabbed his leather jacket off the coat rack and reached into one of the pockets for his keys. He hung his jacket over his arm as the three of them walked into the hallway, pulling the door closed behind him and locking it. He silently prayed that the next time he returned, he would open the door to find you inside, safe and sound.

New Pregame Interactions Masterpost
Anniversary added a bunch of new ones and I’m trying to find them all. I know If there are any others I’m missing, let me know! I’ll update this. Also a lot of these are from @agenthill or sent to me by @kinaesthetiq– thanks you two <3 **Edit 1: Updated with Zarya & Junkrat and Orisa & McCree interactions (thank you @tankdyke for the former, and Kina for still being on the grind!) People in the comments have said they’ve heard a variant of the Ana line with Tracer, a Symmetra & Doomfist interaction, and a Symmetra & Hanzo interaction, so if you have the transcript for any of those, please lmk! **Edit 2: @sombrashair​ got me Sombra’s half of a Sombra & Bastion interaction and possibly a whole Sombra & Pharah one, as well as Pharah’s half of a Pharah & Tracer, Pharah & Soldier: 76, and Pharah & Ana interaction. If anyone has the other halves of those, or confirmation on the Sombra & Pharah one, that would be awesome! In any case, thank you so much Lauren for my whole entire life <3 Also, putting this under a cut now, because it’s getting long.
**Edit 3: @sombrashair with mvp status getting me the other side of the Pharah & Ana interaction, as well as some Moira & Winston ones! Also @pointblankerror sent me the other half of the Pharah & Soldier interaction– thank you! Interactions that have been requested and completed have been strike through’d, the remaining bold ones are ones that I still need!
**Edit 4: Lauren got me (possibly) the other half of Ana & Tracer’s interaction and the other half of Tracer & Pharah’s, and @fearlessstateofmind came through with a bunch of really cool ones! Also @datnoise sent me a Genji and Zarya interaction. You guys are so awesome, thank you so much <3
**Edit 5: I am now legally required to buy @sombrashair a fruit basket. A bunch of Doomfist & Symmetra interactions have been added thanks to her, plus an adorable Orisa & Tracer one. @agenthill also confirmed the Ana & Tracer one and Pharah & Sombra one, as well as helped me narrow down a Doom interaction– thank you!! However, a Doomfist & Hanzo interaction and a Doomfist & Ana or Soldier: 76 interaction are incomplete. If you know these, the previous non struck through bold ones, or any ones we’re missing, please lmk!
**Edit 6: While I was at work, Lauren and a bunch of other people sent me more, so this is adding a lot! @theomnicode​, @kinaesthetiq​, and @crystallisedrain all sent in quotes– thank you guys! Also Doomfist & Hanzo has been completed and some lines have been corrected. We’re missing Orisa’s half of an Orisa & Genji interaction, and commenter also said that there was been a Brigitte & Pharah interaction (@fearlessstateofmind sent me what could be the Pharah side– thank you!) But as of now that, the other half of the Sombra & Bastion one, and the Symmetra & Hanzo one are the only ones I know are missing. 
**Edit 7: So right after I posted the last edit, I went to discord and saw the Hammeh video. That video does not have the rest Orisa & Genji interaction, or the Brigitte & Pharah one, but it does have some new ones that weren’t mentioned in the comments. We have the Junkrat & Genji interaction, the variants on Ana’s line, and a Doomfist line he didn’t, but I’m wiped and can’t be entirely sure if this list has any more the video doesn’t. In any case, I think it’s worth having transcriptions of them, so I’m going to keep it up and add the ones that weren’t on here before. Unless we get the missing ones mentioned, this should be the last update. Thank you so much to everyone who helped, especially @sombrashair, who did a ton of mining for this!
**Edit 8: @cameoappearance sent me a new Torbjorn & Bastion interaction, @chocobonoises sent me a variant on the Orisa & Doomfist interaction, and @angelic-nymphia clarified about the Brigitte & Pharah interaction– thank you all!
**Edit 9: Found new interactions in the main tag, from @aurous-android and @eridansquared! ( x . x . x )
Moira: Your condition seems relatively stable. Reaper: No one’s accused me of that in a long time.
Soldier: 76: You were a disgrace to Overwatch. If I had known what Reyes had been planning, I would never have allowed it. Moira: It seems to me that it was convenient for you not to look too closely into Gabriel’s business.
Moira: Well I won’t have to worry about my safety while the brave agents of Helix are with us. Fareeha: Don’t be so sure about that!
Ana: Ahh, youth truly is wasted on the young. Lúcio: Ana, have you SEEN my schedule? or D.va: Aw, come on, Ana! I bet you got up to all sorts of trouble when you were my age. or Tracer: At least statistically, i've wasted less than most.
Mercy: Lúcio, I never realized your father was the one who invented Vishkar’s sonic technology. Lúcio: The cortex was his life’s work, owned and patented by Vishkar… but it’s mine now.
Pharah: Helix should keep the peace in Vishkar developments. Symmetra: We do not need an army to keep the peace– we prefer our order.
Moira: Dr. Zhou. I’m interested in your colleague’s research into the long term effects of cryogenic freezing. Mei: Well.. yes… sure… maybe… *soft crying*
Mercy: Describing your work as unethical would be a kindness. Moira: But the true question is whether or not you can deny my discoveries. No. I didn’t think so.
Moira: Our courageous cowboy. The years haven’t changed you much, have they, Jesse? McCree: They certainly haven’t changed my feelings about working with you.
Orisa: Jesse McCree, outlaw. Bounty: $60 million. That would be enough to put Efi through college. McCree: Aw hey now, wait a minute.
Junkrat: I admire the way you deal with those bots. Wanna team up?. Zarya: Not if you were the last human on Earth.
Sombra: Pharah... ever wonder why you were never accepted into Overwatch? Almost like someone didn't want you to join. Pharah: Have you ever considered getting a new hobby?
Sombra: Ah... you'd make a good barista Bastion. Bastion: [growling noise]
Pharah: Tracer, have you thought about joining Helix? We could always use a good pilot. Tracer: Aww, i'm flattered, really! But I have some other things occupying my time now.
Pharah: I'm keeping an eye on you, [sarcastically] Soldier: 76. Soldier: 76: Now where have I heard that before?
Pharah: Mum... don't you think it's time you told Sam you're alive? Ana: You let me worry about what your father needs to know.
Winston: Overwatch had good reason to shut down your research. Moira: I shouldn't be surprised at such a narrow opinion coming from a jumped. up. ape.
Moira: Winston... you were never frustrated at the restrictions overwatch placed on your research? Winston: Of course. But sometimes, a measure of caution is needed in a scientist.
Ana: Are you behaving yourself Genji?  Genji: Heheh. On my best behavior, Captain.
Junkrat: You look like you bit off more than you can chew. Genji: I was a reckless youth. But you are something else entirely.
Torbjorn: McCree? What happened to your arm?  McCree: Always admired yours. Figured I'd get one of my own.
Zenyatta: Symmetra, you speak of law and of order, but you must know that life is chaotic by its very nature  Symmetra: Hmph. To be lectured about chaos and disorder from a machine.
Orisa: Tekhartha Zenyatta, I wish to learn about the Iris.  Zenyatta: I would be happy to teach you. It is rare that I meet one with such an unformed mind.
Doomfist: You know McCree the winning side would pay much better. Maybe buy yourself some real clothes. McCree: My clothes? Have you seen some of the things Talon wears?
Genji: How can I convince you that I am still a man? Zarya: I know what you are. I’m only sorry that you do not.
Lúcio: Vishkar's using you! Just like they used my father. Yeah you just wait, you'll see." Symmetra: Your father was a Vishkar employee. He understood our company's vision. A shame he never educated you.
Doomfist: Retirement suits you. Ana or Soldier: 76: or Torbjorn: And i think a hammer to the face suits you.
Doomfist: You disappoint me, Hanzo. With Talon, you could truly fulfil your destiny. Hanzo: Find another errand boy, Akande!
Doomfist: Watch my back out there, Lacroix. Widowmaker: Tell me what needs to be done, and I will do it.
Doomfist: Symmetra, I am familiar with your work. I look forward to seeing it in person. Symmetra: My purpose is to create order. You are the embodiment of chaos.
Symmetra: Doomfist, you are mistaken. only with order can humanity evolve. Doomfist: Order... chaos... means to an end.
Orisa: Tracer... is it wrong for us to operate outside the law? Tracer: That's a difficult question, Orisa. I think there are times when you just have to do what's right.
Orisa: Doomfist! You will be brought to justice.  Doomfist: We will all see justice done in the end. or Doomfist: Haha...I like you.
Torbjorn: You know, Fareeha, I could take a look at fixing up your suit if you'd like.  Pharah: And mess it up with a bunch of scrap metal bolted on the side? No thanks, I like it the way it is.
Zenyatta: I believe you could find peace… if you were to search within yourself.  Doomfist: What is tranquility but stagnation?
Genji: What does it feel like to be able to change the past?  Tracer: Sometimes the past doesn't want to change.
Genji: Orisa! You grow stronger each time I see you! Orisa: My artificial intelligence allows me to grow from my experiences and observations.
McCree: They wouldn't even have to pay me to put you away.  Doomfist: Then how would you afford the hospital bills?
Lúcio: What do you think, Pharah? Got time for a game?  Pharah: After the mission? You're on!
Zenyatta: Genji, how was your reunion with your brother? Genji: He is still not ready for time to flow forward again.
Winston: Tekhartha Zenyatta, do you believe that overwatch should return? Zenyatta: I believe that we must all do our part to find solutions to the troubles that are before us.
Orisa: Reinhardt, why is your shield so important to you? Reinhardt: It is a reminder of my duty. 
Orisa: Reinhardt, i have allocated my learning processes towards analyzing your combat performance! Reinhardt: What an odd compliment.
Symmetra: Order and discipline. That is the only way to live. Hanzo: I sense a kindred spirit.
Roadhog: Keep your stuff off the table. Junkrat: I’m hurt! I am nothing if not a courteous houseguest.
Zenyatta: I hear that you have taken in an Omnic, Torbjorn. Torbjorn: I don’t want to talk about it.
Torbjorn: Bastion. I bet you haven’t had a systems check in years. Who knows what kind of weird behaviors you picked up. Bastion: [sort of mm-hmm! beeping noise]
Junkrat: Don’t suppose you’d like to trade… fists, I mean. Doomfist: I don’t think you could handle it.
Junkrat: Bots. Dime a dozen. Orisa: Actually, Efi spent most of our Adawe foundation grant on me. It was not inexpensive.
[was in game before patch] Pharah: Brigitte, it’d be cool if you could take a look at my armor sometime. Brigitte: [no response]
Torbjörn: Hey! Stop following me around! Shoo!  Bastion: [whimpering beeping, similar to one of their critical health sounds] [on Hanamura attack]
D.Va: Genji, I heard you used to have all the high scores here! Genji: That’s right! Wait, used to? …Hey, where did they all go?!
Mei: Orisa, you are adorable! Orisa: I will pass your feedback onto Efi, I believe that she will be pleased! [on Junkertown]
Junkrat: You know, I never would have taken you for someone with such a homely home. Roadhog: If you don’t like it, stay in your room.
