Red and Green Flags of Some of the Hazbin Hotel Cast
the title says it all! i'm just blurbing about some red/green flags they have when ur dating them :)
🥀Cw: nsfw mentions but nothing explicit, mostly crack and fluff and maybe the slightest angst when it comes to red flags
🥀Pairing(s): Adam x reader, Alastor x reader, Vox x reader
Tumblr media
Adam
Green flags
INSANELY loyal. this man was cheated on twice and left for the same guy. if he's in a serious relationship with you i genuinely can not see him cheating bc this man is genuinely so devoted to you and only you. he's had his fair share of hookups but very very very rarely commits to a serious relationship, which means if he does, you're not only very special but he genuinely thinks you're "the one". when it comes to these serious actual relationships (not just hookups or situationships) he's very very loyal and would never think of cheating on you. he also dates to marry when it comes to serious relationships and will genuinely try to make the relationship last. this also means you get to see a side of him that most people don't get to, and he's generally very soft with you. he treats you so much better than everyone else and expects everyone else around you to do the same
adam is very supportive of you- he definitely gives off "THATS MY PARTNER‼️" vibes. while he likes to think he's in charge, if you change your tone towards him he immediately agrees with you like a hurt puppy. if you have any important decisions you want to make he's much more likely to compromise or agree with you than if anyone else was suggesting an idea. adam can be irritating, but when it comes to you, he's absolutely wrapped around your finger. your also the only person who can make him knock it off when he's patronizing someone and you're also the only reason sera has not attempted to strangle him because you've been keeping him in check since you both started dating
adam always has your back and is on your side no matter what. there is no devil's advocate for him, if his partner is in a fight with someone he's automatically on their side. adam is absolutely the type to tell someone off for shit talking you and is also the type to tell you if someone was being rude to you behind your back. he's also not the kind of guy to shit talk you behind your back and gets pissed at guys who complain about their wives and stuff like that. if he has an issue he tells you to your face and doesn't believe in hiding anything in your relationship.
Red Flags
adam is very insecure about his masculinity even if he doesn't want to admit it and this can be problematic in your relationship. he puts on a lot of appearances around others and acts much more confident when he is, and sometimes his fake persona can piss you off a bit because he genuinely treats you so differently in private versus in public. he also very rarely takes off his mask around you, especially early on into the relationship. in reality it's because he's insecure about how he looks, but he'd never actually admit that (at least early on) so you're stuck in a loop of asking him to take off the mask, him making up some bullshit lie about how he can't, you getting pissed at him and the mask, and him getting more insecure bc he thinks you don't like him anymore. eventually it ends with a conversation about how u love him regardless of what he looks like, but it takes time to get there that might be irritating for you
he is INCREDIBLY clingy, and also huge on PDA- but like even if its not the most appropriate time, he's pulling you onto his lap or slapping your ass or something like that. he also will make a lot of lewd and inappropriate jokes in public- we know he's childish and he is the embodiment of middle school boy humor. you guys could be out in public just trying to have a cute date but he always ruins the moment by making it sexual or making a shitty joke. adam is also very unaware of his surroundings and horrible at reading people so you could be extremely uncomfortable and he just... wouldn't notice unless you told him so. adam isn't great at expressing intimacy nonsexually (he was quite literally created for the sole purpose of populating earth, and a part of him still lowkey thinks he's only good for sex ☹️) so he ends up accidentally turning non-sexual moments sexual. he isn't trying to annoy you, but it can seem insensitive.
pisses you off on purpose. adam does care about you and your feelings but he also can be childish. he'll see that your pissed off and will make a joke only for you to get even more angry at him, but he'll get super defensive even if he was in the wrong saying he was just trying to make you laugh. he will feel very bad afterwards tho, especially if you cry or get really upset because, as i said before, he isn't great at expressing himself and genuinely doesn't mean to hurt you sometimes
Alastor
Green Flags
very respectful of your boundaries. relationships are new to him after all, and he isn't the most expressive lover, so alastor knows that dating him can be tough. he never pushes you too hard or forces himself on you, and he takes your opinion into consideration a lot when it comes to decisions or dealing with life in general. he always asks before taking your hand or kissing you, and he initiates most of the courting process, not wanting to put too much pressure on you. when you first caught feelings for him you were genuinely so scared that he wouldn't even want to be friends with you anymore, but once you found out he reciprocated your feelings, at least in his own way, you were elated. this lead to him being the one to initiate most dates and things like that, at least early on, so that he could show you he was serious about treating you well. you definitely recieve top tier princess treatment (regardless of gender)
protective, but not in a limiting way. if you're dating alastor, then you have to have been friends for at least a while before officially getting together, and he also has to trust you a lot. alastor always wants you to be safe, he knows how cruel hell can be, and he knows that others can use you to hurt him. however, he also trusts you and your strength, and he tries to keep a decent balance of protecting you but also letting you make decisions for yourself. you both definitely have conversations about him sending his shadow to watch over you when your away, and he prefers to have you by his side more than anything else
alastor is very emotionally intelligent and is great at reading people. this skill comes to use a lot and you both very rarely argue over anything because he's very quick to notice when something is bothering you. he's also great at communication, and isn't afraid to sit down and have a conversation with you about how you feel about him and how he feels about you. when it comes to your relationship he wants to make sure you both are on the same page, and yall are the type of couple to have monthly check-ins where you sit doen and just talk about what you're feeling. this leads to a lot of open conversations with alastor, and overtime it made your trust for him grow. he would never tell anyone anything confidential about you, and he genuinely views you as his equal.
Red Flags
alastor does not like change, which means he is not great at adjusting his own behaviors. this also means he refuses to catch up to modern technology and trends and is overall very outdated. he'll get irritated with you for using modern slang he doesn't understand, but will refuse to actually learn the slang terminology. while his class and refinement is attractive and well-meaning in most cases, in some situations it can definitely cause some friction between the two of you. he never wants to watch a movie with you, or go to a nightclub, or even attend concert with you because they're all "too modern" for his tastes. then he'll turn around and get pissed if you invite someone else! alastor also pretty much refuses to take photos with you and avoids most technology all together. i genuinely think he does have a phone, but its super outdated and he is the absolute dryest texter. he will just leave you on read most of the time and doesnt understand why its a big deal
he is not very physically attentive. while we know that alastor is definitely not a fan of being touched, there are moments where he will just randomly start being very touchy with you, but won't let you reciprocate. like he will completely invade your personal space at the most random lowkey inconvenient time and start showing you affection, but when you try to reciprocate he just gets icked out and pulls away. alastor doesn't even explain himself either, he will just... walk away. he doesn't understand that you have very different needs than him and is always confused as to why you're so touch starved. he's giving you attention, isn't that enough? he just doesn't get that theres a vast difference between him looming over you and practically leaning on you, and actually cuddling him and showing you affection. he also will randomly just disappear for days on end. like one day you'll be hanging out going on cute romantic dates to cannibal town and literally being fine and then the next he's gone with no note not information, you just wake up and he isn't there. alastor gets better at communicating his absences once he realizes how worried it makes you, but its certainly alarming in the beginning of your relationship because you think he's upset with you when in reality he's just fucking around and finding out doing god knows what. it takes time for the both of you to find a happy medium ground where you can satisfy your own physical needs while he can also take his own space, but once you do, your relationship goes a LOT smoother.
Vox
Green Flags
Very devoted to you. vox is the type of guy to be absolutely WHIPPED for everything his partner does, and he is not afraid of showering you in affection. while he does find public image important, in his mind, you're the most important and valuable thing in his life. he wants the world to know that you belong to him and that he belongs to you, and he is NOT the type of person to be embarrassed about his partners quirks
He prioritizes satisfying your needs and feelings. whether its sexually, physically, or emotionally, vox is always willing to provide you with comfort. he would never want you to be left unsatisfied or needy, and really wants to be enough for you. vox is self aware and knows that he isn't perfect, but he always gives you more than the bare minimum. his work schedule is a little wild and he always feels bad about not getting to spend time with you so he schedules out full days that are dedicated just to you. he's very attentive and is pretty good at noticing when something is wrong, and he has no qualms about approaching you about anything you might be facing.
trusts you. a lot. in the beginning of the relationship less so, but over time he gradually opens up to you more and more. you are definitely vox's favorite person without a doubt, and he makes sure you know it. early on in your friendship, before you even started dating, vox found himself falling for you. he really didn't want to fuck up what he had with you and wanted to make it clear that you meant more to him. in the beginning of your official relationship, especially during the honeymoon phase and first couple months, he's SOOOO nervous. vox very rarely lets his guard down around others, but with you, he feels his walls instantly shatter. he doesn't understand why he's so drawn to you, but he loves you because of it. he finds a lot of comfort in you and your one of the very few people who have seen him at his worst.
Red Flags
vox sometimes thinks he knows whats best for you, and will act on his own accord to make decisions for you, especially early into a relationship. vox knows hell is dangerous and he knows that there are people who would hurt you to get to him, and he wants to keep you safe more than anything. sometimes he'll watch you on security cameras without your consent, or he'll track you on your phone to know where you are. if you ever found out he wouldn't see the issue until you explained it, but if you really, really had a problem with it he'd stop.
he can be manipulative without even realizing it. vox is surrounded by cruel, nasty people most of the time and will take his own nastiness out on you unnecessarily. like you both will be in an argument and he won't even listen to your side because he just automatically assumes he's right. he'll be condescending and try to change your mind rather than hearing you out. this is obviously very frustrating on your end because, while vox isn't always aware of it, he's still treating you like shit and just trying to manipulate you. i also think he'd accidentally hypnotize you sometimes. like you both would be arguing and vox's hypnotism would just start and he wouldn't realize until he noticed that you were just staring blankly at him. he would feel SO guilty about it though, and it would probably eat at him for a while. you're the person he cares about the most and he genuinely doesn't mean to hurt you, and he definitely does not want to hypnotize you without your consent. vox loves you because youre YOU, not because you listen to his every word like everyone else in his life. it honestly makes him insecure, and he starts to worry that maybe it isn't the rest of hell that he should be worried about hurting you, and maybe its himself thats your biggest threat. PLEASE comfort him he has the emotional capacity of a brick and cares about you too much for his own good. over time his toxic manipulation and cruel behaviors stop, especially towards you, but it can be very, very tedious in the start of your relationship.
mansplains. this is moreso a personal pet peeve of mine and as much as i love and adore vox he absolutely would mansplain and would get pissed when you don't listen. he would also get pouty if you already understand what he's talking about or just brush him off. sometimes it can be kind of endearing though when he's infodumping, and over time his mansplaining slowly forms to infodumping to you. its kinda cute how his behavior changed to match yours, and how excited he gets over sharing shark facts with you.
loved writing this sm this was lowkey an excuse to just psychoanalyize my favs- will prob do a pt 2 once i finish all 500 of my other WIPS + requests lmao- this was originally gonna include luci but i couldn't think of enough red flags and i was also very tired so im sorrryyyyyy he'll probably be in pt 2 😭

more more more more aftg show bloopers (p 4?? I think?) whoop whoop de fuckin whoop
Neil's actor being a huge Duolingo dork and in the behind the scenes while the other actors are fooling around between takes you can often see him with his head bent and hear the little 'ping!'s coming from his phone
also during late night shoots, as it gets closer to midnight he always has a point where he's like SHIT my Duolingo streak. and then just blocks out everyone while his fingers fly over his screen
(fans make compilations of him proudly showing his Duolingo streak to the camera and the number grows as the seasons progress)
(he definitely is the kinda bitch who cares more about maintaining the streak than actually learning languages)
actually omg while we're on the topic of languages
Kevin's actor tenderly reciting his French lines to Matt's actor and Matt's actor is just smitten. and he goes "say something else, love" and Kevin's actor strokes his cheek while saying another one of his lines and Matt swoons
(then Kevin's actor turns to the camera and goes "I just told him that he's a disappointment and is going to get his ass handed to him by ravens if he doesn't do exactly as I say" and, from the ground, Matt's actor goes "hell yeah you did. talk dirty to me any day of the week you sexy, sexy man")
coach's actor is always swearing to the point where they implement a swear jar...really it's just something for the kids to jokingly rag on him about, but he goes with it, and every so often they'll empty the jar to buy the cast and crew pizza
they're filming outside at night and it's cold and in between takes Matt's Aaron's and Renee's actors are all huddled together for warmth and Matt's actor gets pulled aside to get his makeup touched up and the other two just shriek at the absence of his heat and catch up to him to tuck themselves against him again
Andrew needs to snap his fingers in one scene but everyone finds out that day that his actor doesn't know how to snap so he has a little impromptu snapping lesson and of course it turns into everyone else trying to one-up each other with their snapping abilities
Nicky's actor telling everyone what he's going to steal from set (will literally say"[about Allison's bathrobe] damn that shit soft as hell. Ive been needing a new bathrobe actually. I'm stealing this" or "I'm stealing this lighter/bandana/sunglasses/etc") but because his humor is so dry everyone thinks he's joking. until months later. when the prop department can't find shit
Renee's actress is doing something completely mundane but Neil's and Allison's actors start narrating what she's doing like they're in a nature documentary (always with Australian accents for some reason??)
"and our specimen now reclines herself vertically on a piece of furniture us humans know as 'a desk.' this clearly less-developed creature seems not to understand the purpose of such an object. but given that this is her first time outside her natural habitat (the jungle) her lack of familiarity with modern technology is to be expected"
Renee's actress: *flips them off*
"ah and here we witness one of the most common behaviors of this specimen. specialists have dubbed it 'flipping the bird,' and explain it as a nonverbal expression of affection" "oh fuck off"
photo from another cold night-shoot and it's of Matt's and Dan's actors, she's standing in front of him zipped up in his hoodie, just her head poking out and they're having a conversation with other castmates like it's the most normal thing in the world, looking the very image of the couple they play
so much glorious content from shooting the dorm sleepover scene. the most popular thing to come from it is a picture from after they wrapped where the cast and some members of the crew had moved even closer to each other amid all the blankets and are asleep on top of each other
Andrew's actor will sometimes actually eat the ice cream he's given instead of just pretending to eat it, and halfway through the scene he casually mentions that he's lactose intolerant and sends the crew into a worried frenzy
if you haven't clocked it yet, these bitches are competitive. and one day, one thing led to another, and soon a bunch of the actors are all being filmed having a plank-holding competition. Dan's actress is the first to drop and she gets booed at for it because "you're an ex-stripper where tf is that upper body strength?"
she flips them off and goes to sit on Kevin's actor, hoping to squash his plank, but instead he starts doing push ups with her on his back. she grins
(Rikos actor wins that competition btw. and Neil's actor goes on a rant about "we succumbed to the ENEMY? a RAVEN? your characters would be ashamed of you" (he also lost?))
Allison's actress pretending to do a get-ready-with-me using all the stuff on Allison's vanity
Wymack's actor falling asleep in The Dad Pose™ when they're shooting a scene on the bus. and everybody gathers in to take pictures
when Kevin and Neil get all up in each other's faces their actors will pretend like they're going to kiss each other
not really a blooper but just all the actors for the foxes and the ravens mingling together in between takes and it looks so wrong
give me all the actors constantly taking the piss out of their characters
for ex during a scene where the monsters are in the car on the way to Edens, Nicky's actor looks towards the backseat where everyone is in character and goes wow what a fun crowd we are you'd never believe we're about to hit the club
night shoots are a. struggle. for Dan's actress. and the others love to take videos of her just standing on her mark with the most spaced out expression on her face
Andrew's and Neil's actors are shooting one of their typical intense, deep scenes and after one take, as soon as "cut" is called, Andrew's actor grabs Neil's face and starts serenading him with the song that's been stuck in his head all day
Renee's actress getting scolded for sneaking snacks into her costume
when Nicky's actor messes up a line (and he's the least likely of everyone to do it) he starts spewing Spanish
Andrew's actor constantly teasing his brother and Katelyn's actress whenever they have scenes together
like the two of them will just be talking together in between takes and Andrews actor will be behind the camera recording them and saying shit like "look at that MINYARD RIZZ" (or he'll use their actual last name) "hey btw [Katelyn's actor] I taught him everything he knows"
that scene where the foxes are rushing out of the dorm to check on their destroyed cars and Matt's actor just faceplants (Neil's actor: "wow. the dedication")
in one scene or other Allison's actress is drinking an iced drink and during one take she just keeps calmly shaking the ice around in her cup until one by one everyone cracks
in one scene Allison's actress is wearing sunglasses. and in between takes she lies down and on camera you can see Kevin and Matt's actors whispering trying to figure out whether or not she's sleeping because they can't see her eyes
Aaron's actor always using Neil's actor as a pillow during car scenes because they're always next to each other and they're actually hella tight irl
the kids love to steal any props that coach's actor needs to use (pens clipboards etc) before they start rolling just so they can watch him try to subtly fidget trying to find his prop before they get to the point in the scene where he actually needs it
all the actors just taking pictures together in the most brutal settings on set.
like Neil's makeup has his face all busted and everyone wants a selfie with him. they all have a photoshoot with the trashed cars. they have another one in front of the "happy 19th birthday junior" set. Neil is tied up at The Nest while they change his hair and Jean's and Riko's actors take selfies with him. another photoshoot with Neil handcuffed in the police car. all these settings in terrible scenes and the actors are in front of them with grins and peace signs
they're terrible.

I’m sorry but Abby Anderson not being cast by a muscle mommy, HUGE, linebacker ass shoulder masc actress is a LOSS. I like Kaitlyn Dever but she’s not the right choice at all in my (and everyone else’s from what I’ve seen) opinion

Random ActorAU Character Headcanons: RadioStatic Edition(Platonic; Besties)
Vox (Surname: Borle)
- He's a theater kid so he sometimes makes random references to plays or popular musicals. - "It's hard to be the bard~!" - Actually knows how to play the guitar and piano. - Absolutely hates the recorder(instrument) which Lucifer makes fun of him for. - His fashion sense is a war crime and if it weren't for Velvette he would've continued to look and dress like an idiot. - Like, the most apallingly ugly/colored patterns on his shirts, jackets or socks- - Can't tie a bowtie for shit, he knows how to wear a proper necktie though. - His costume in the show uses a clip-on unless it's supposed to look messy and undone. - Hates the summer heat with a passion. - Wears the thinnest layers during winter, loves the freezing cold. - Has somewhat of a sweet tooth, but drinks his coffee black. - Responsible for the most bloopers on set. - Either from tripping over things or because he can't stop laughing. - He actually drew the Alastor doodle from episode 2. - Which was still somehow better than Alastor's attempt at drawing his own character. - And he drew it during one of the script table readings out of boredom. - Vark is actually his dog, a huge golden retriever who was costumed as a shark for the "Get Off My Screen" Series. - Unironically has a huge hat collection, just because he can. - Would wear a different one every day to set no matter how random because it makes people laugh and smile when they see him. - He actually studied to be a software engineer before shifting courses to take acting instead. - So he does know how to code and mess with electronics. - Loves energy drinks and panera's charged lemonade. - Actually helps bend into his canon character's eccentric personality. - Regularly causes chaos on set. - Has broken his TV headpiece a number of times already. - Can't be told about the script in advance because he's prone to accidentally spoiling during interviews(like Tom Holland). - Doesn't have his own car, takes the train or taxis to get around. - On the more inexperienced side of the cast since he's not a bigshot actor like the others. - This show's actually been his first time on the big screen. - Can and will infodump about sharks if you let him. - Knows how to cook but only simple meals. - Pretty chatty, a dork and all around just a fun guy to be around.
Alastor (Surname: Bosco)
- Collects watches and sometimes shows them off when he can. - Does not know how to play an instrument at all. - That sequence in "Hell's Greatest Dad" with him on the piano? - He was just pressing random keys when the cameras rolled. - He has the vocal range of a god though. - Like this man can SING. - Prefers old things, and hilariously still even has an old radio in his home. - So his character is based on a lot of his preferences. - His wardrobe also reflects that. - Either on or off-screen this man looks dapper and posh. - Doesn't even need them but he wears glasses sometimes. - Just because it looks nice. - Loves his character's monocle and will wear it even without the whole costume. - Still uses an old Nokia, can't begin to wrap his head around an Iphone. - Is one of the screenwriters for the show, so a lot of the stupid or corny things that happen are mostly his fault. - Except for pentious' joke death. - He was sick when they wrote that so he wasn't able to stop everyone else. - Also has the most whack ass sleep schedule since he's often one of the last to leave but first to arrive on set. - Helps play into his canon character's creepiness and oddity. - Hence chugs coffee like it's his lifeline. - Hates the taste of energy drinks so you won't catch him with those. - This man is never late, ever. - Hates the cold, loves the heat. - Will be bundled up like the michelin mascot during winter it's hilarious. - Most often seen with Vox and they're both usually up to no good. - Either just messing with random things on set or actually being borderline chaotic. - Still calls soda 'pop'. - Can actually speak french. - Knows how to cook and cook WELL. - His mama taught him, and it's a fact he will always be proud to say. - Drives an Aston Martin V8 Vantage with a bright flaming red paintjob. - Yes it's a car model from the late seventies/early eighties. - He doesn't care if it's old it's his favorite thing ever and he takes care of that car like it's his child. - Doesn't prefer candy much, he'd rather give it to Nix or Vox. - Loves dark chocolate though.
(OKAY- When it came to the surnames- I know I mentioned that these guys take on the surnames of their actual VAs but I thought it'd be kinda funny to have both Al and Vox to have similar surnames since in this AU they swim in chaotic besties/sibling energy so yes- a reference to Alastor's pilot VA Edward Bosco! No this is not me saying one is better than the other, I seriously just wanted to make more funny pairs with these two idiots while they playfully piss each other off XD)

My two cents on the story some Nick fans hate Taylor:
From what I've seen around they are mainly people who have been following him since before rwrb and if you look carefully they are often huge purple heart fans (and have a slight obsession with the "relationship" between Nick and Sofia) therefore I think that this hatred for Taylor derives from 2 things:
1. They hate that so many people have gotten closer to him because of rwrb but they share the support and love with someone else. That's why they always have to specify that for them Taylor is unemployed (unlike Nick), Taylor is not a good actor (unlike Nick who is the best around for the next 100 years), Taylor is loved only for his hot body and we are all envious that Nick is mentioned around as an actor etc etc. It's impossible for them to accept that people can appreciate both and one must necessarily be better and more loved than the other and they are better fans because they have been following him since before rwrb and they don't want him to still be associated with this film because he will never be "the sole star" but has to share everything with Taylor.
2. Racism. From certain comments they make it is undeniable that this has great relevance in this situation and I don't even want to delve into it because it's not even crazy it's simply disgusting and this is definitely the worst part.
They hate rwrb (but praise Nick as Henry and think he's the only one who did well in the movie) and keep making up this bullshit about how Nick hates the project, hates the cast, his body language says he was uncomfortable on that set, this is the only cast he hasn't remained friends with, Taylor tries hard for have his attention to be relevant but Nick just proves they have no contact and they need it to be true because that's the only thing which they can cling to to hope he doesn't make the sequel. Oh, plus Nick is too busy to accept the sequel and it would be a downgrade for him to do the sequel given the career that awaits him, unlike Taylor who only has rwrb to work and be relevant (all read with my own eyes unfortunately)
In short, I don't know how they can think this is good for Nick and how they can think this is the type of support he deserves and would like. As another blog said, we can't stop them, there are moments they become more vocal and mean and the more we respond the meaner they become saying things like "you get angry because you know it's the truth"
They treat Taylor like a monster, like he's a really bad person, they've done bad things towards him like doxxing and spreading false information about him to convince everyone what an evil person he is.
They say he uses Nick, before Nick's response when he signed the book they said Taylor bullied him with those drawings on his face all because they have this unhealthy relationship with an actor and they think they have some right over his life.
You've explained their (ridiculous) mentality really well, and frankly, it drives me insane that there are people in the world who think they understand one person's career/relationship/life when he doesn't know them
On the note of purple hearts, I didn't watch the movie and I don't plan to, but when I just got into the RWRB fandom and started learning about Nick and Taylor, and I kinda saw some comments from us, that's kind of... something like Purple hearts fans are mad at RWRB because of... opposing political beliefs?
Oh, also agree on the racism thing. Fuck racism man.
My one hope is this bullshit doesn't affect Taylor and Nick. I have faith in their relationship not to turn sour or blame each other because 1, it's not each other's fault 2, they're grown ass adults who understand how this industry, parasocial relationships and fan culture work, but if any of these shitty comments reaches either one of them it must hurt, and arguably hurts Nick more than Taylor, because these people are hurting your friend in your name. That's fucked up.
Again I think the best thing we can do is ignore them, block them and remember that we hold the actual truth: Nick loves RWRB, and Taylor, and Henry. And he and Taylor, on both sides, plus Matthew and a couple editorial writers, stated and showed that they are genuine friends with genuine chemistry.

In love w the fact that qTubbo is in a whole ass different genre than everyone else. The QSMP is meant to be a psychological thriller of sorts with lots of mystery and intrigue but qTubbo is living in a romantic dramedy rn complete with flower language, rain on cue, a supporting cast each w their own quirky relationships, inner turmoil... Tubbo really is logging onto a modded Minecraft server with a huge ongoing mystery so he can roleplay trying to salvage a bad breakup 😭

꒦‧₊ ꒷ Skateboarding w/ Team Stan [Headcanons] ✧.*
✧.* tags: skateboarding idk man, comedy, college au
✧.* Charactions: stan marsh, kenny mccormick, kyle broflovski, butters stotch
a/n: I was writing a different set of headcanons and started thinking about this and it got so long that I decided to just make it another post.
masterlist
Tumblr media
Stan
Most skater aesthetic out of them all
even though he doesn't actually know anything
He bought the board because the like the IDEA of being someone who skates
But he’s too scared of falling down to actually do it
Much better at roller blading
but he'll NEVER admit it
mainly because people (cartman) would call him Ken because of the Barbie movie coming out
"Okay but why the fuck do you know that Ken uses roller blades in the Barbie movie?"
"Well actually that's none of your fucking business"
"Yeah okay dickwipe."
"THATS RICH COMING FROM A GAY ASS"
"It's literally pride month bro"
Tumblr media
Kenny
Kenny on the other hand is the epitome of “I could do it this morning”
Makes you all sit around for 30 minutes while he tries to do an ollie
“Dude it’s okay if you can’t-”
“NO MAN I CAN! KAREN SAW IT!”
Like okay bro you can do an ollie
Gaming sessions of Tony Hawk Pro Skater where he does a move and says "yeah I could do that"
Gets the most hurt
mainly because he doesn't care
worst cast- and i mean WORST CASE- he dies and he's back the next day
at least now he knows that he can't do a rail grind off the golden gate bridge
Tumblr media
Butters
Stan and Kenny try to teach Butters how to skate
turns out he doesn't really need their help
Butters ends up being 100x better than them INSTANTLY
Its the hawaiian blood
paddle boarding translates very well to skateboarding
“Woah! It’s so much easier when there aren’t waves coming at you!”
“I both hate you and idolize you right now”

Kyle skates pretty fine
He and Ike were HUGE zeke and luther watchers fs
It was the only show they could agree on so sheila and gerald let them watch it 
He always wears elbow and knee pads though
The others (cartman) give him shit for it
But he’s the only one going home without any bleeding appendages so who’s laughing now
The only one that can actually do an ollie
Doesn’t brag about it but once everyone else goes home he’ll show you some pretty sick tricks
"So you're like the red head from the gay anime."
"No."
"Now we've just got to find a blue haired canadian- omg wait isn't your brother from Canada-"
"No."
"Planning the road trip right now. If you take your brother's passport I bet you can pass it off as yours."
"I regret telling you anything."

Honestly I think jwcc is gonna be roman empire forever, more specifically S4 and 5, because of how much the writers ruined all of their characters arcs and growths.
I think S1-3 were just perfect. Ok maybe they weren't actually perfect, but for they were setting out to do it was superb. The writers were establishing dynamics and relationships and conflicts, external and internal, so well. It's almost hard to believe that such a grounded brilliant story fell apart in the last two seasons. I generally cannot fathom how they were the same writers. For example, in S3 Ben and Darius have this long arc about forgiving each other and coming to understand each other after the monorail. It was beautiful and slow paced and just a great character study. So when the end of S3 happened, and Darius and Kenji were clearly fighting, I figured they would kinda do the same thing for them. Instead the two forgave each other in less then five minutes and then they just never speak on it again. I can't be only one that just finds that so odd?
Another thing I think really ruined the show was the forced romance between Brooklynn and Kenji. It was out of left field, it didn't make sense, and it completely undermined their characters. To me, the show always presented their bond as brother and sister, but honestly if the writers had done it better maybe (MAYBE) I could've gotten behind it. They just made it so hard to route for them. First of all because of the romance, the two of them weren't really allowed to interact with the others. Like yes they did, but not in meaningful ways like they had before. Also something that irks me to no end is them playing off Kenji so vigorously trying to save Brooklynn at the end of S3 only because he had a crush on her. That's such a misinterpretation of his character, because S3 Kenji would've acted like that if ANY of the crew were in that situation. They became the only family he ever had, and to say that all of that was just because of a crush? Oh don't get be started. Also it just made Brooklynn a shell of the character she once was. I was so upset in S5 when the only thing she got to do was mope about Kenji's betrayal. She deserved more development and screen time, and just everything really. Their romance did a huge disservice to them both.
Third point, I really hate how they played off everyone not having PTSD, especially Darius. I was very happy that Yaz had that arc in S5 and how they showed how it really got to her. But when the rest of the group said everyone was fine, especially Darius? The same Darius that felt endlessly burdened with leading? The same Darius that had nightmares about his father and Ben after he lost them? The same Darius that let everything get to him even when he knew it shouldn't? THE SAME CHARACTER THAT WAS ALONE ALL OF S4 AND THE WRITERS DID NOTHING WITH??? Ohhhh one day these writers will pay for the way they sidelined THEIR MAIN CHARACTER. Darius deserved that arc, and he deserved an arc that allowed him to step out of the leadership role. Like yes that was technically S4, but it was handled in such a bad way and it really didn't present any growth for him or the crew. Just a wasted opportunity.
I think at their core, the problems with S4 and S5 lie with the direction the writers wanted to take it. As soon as the group ended up at this highly technological island I knew it was over. Not to say advanced stuff is bad, the hybrids were always sick, and I even thought the mind controlling was a good moral dilemma, but everything else? It was so tiring and frustrating, like damn I don't care about the brads or this island, or these random ass characters you introduced. I think the writers just really lost sight of what made the show so great in the first place, the main characters. Yes the plot was amazing, but the brilliant cast of characters and their ever changing dynamics and lives was what really brought it home. When you erase all of the development you've been building up for three seasons in favor of a incredulously complicated and over done plot that side lined your main cast what can you expect? It seems voltron was in fact a harbinger for this show. One day dreamworks will learn how to not fall off mid show, but it appears that's not any time soon.

At Times Like These--
--we have only each other.
This past weekend was a blur but my exhaustion is worth it.
Tumblr media
I splurged and saw the matinee on Sunday and well as the final show.
First, Andrew Kober as Beetlejuice for the matinee. He is AMAZING. It felt like watching the show for the first time again. People have their favorites and fans like us can appreciate the differences all the understudies put into the role, but Kober is the second best Beej. Full stop. He has a fantastic mix of desperation and manic energy, with an underlying menace that, ngl, Alex sort of lost as the show went on.
During the matinee there was audience participation I haven't heard ever happening:
Kober says his line, "All I want is for someone, anyone to look my way and say “Hey."
Couple of audience members say loudly, "Hey!"
Kober continues, "I see you."
More audience, "I see you!"
Kober, "I accept you."
More audience, "I accept you!"
Kober, "And I fear for my safety around you.”
All of the audience, "And I fear for my safety around you!"
Kober, pauses. Then, "Nope. Didn't work."
We, the entire audience, lost.our.minds.
Now. The closing show ...
Fucking hell. I mean that in the best possible way.
Standing ovations from the beginning. For every actor.
It took so long for Alex to even drop the newspaper. He tapped his foot. He leaned back (allllll the way back) to lean on the coffin. He got on the floor. Then, and only then, did he drop the paper to renewed enthusiastic applause.
Every actor played along with their rightfully deserved ovation and applause during their entrances. It was so heartwarming.
I know everyone has seen all the "what happened during the last performance" posts that people are doing, but NO ONE has mentioned these things:
1) at the end of the TBS reprise, Alex ran up the stairs with a clone and started aggressively making out with them as the set changed
2) when Adam stops him from murdering Charles and goes into his "you have groped me, etc" speech, Alex made these increasingly feral, increasingly loud snarling noises like he was getting ready to scrap (. . . or screw)
3) during the Adam and Beej kiss, it went hard. Alex groped David's ass and pretended to dip a finger between his ass cheeks/shove a finger in him, then smelled his finger when David was pulled away. Then he stalked after David for more before Kerry grabbed him.
(I know I am looking at all that though the lens of a smut writer, but hoooo boy.)
Alex Timbers' speech was nice, but not allowing anyone else to say anything?! Fuck whoever made that decision. Alex was actively walking forward for the mic when the curtain stared coming down. He and Elizabeth looked surprised, so they weren’t told about it, obviously, which is unfortunate and understandably upsetting. Here is someone who had been active with the show since 2017 helping to make it what it became plus a new star that embraced (and was embraced by) the fandom, to the point she cracked during the very last word of the show, and they were denied? I'd heard from reliable sources that other cast members had some things prepared as well, and they didn't get the chance to say anything either. It was just abrupt and crushed the energy that had been wild up till then.
This show has meant so much to so many people, including myself. Alex Timbers told us what we already knew: Over a million people saw Beetlejuice on Broadway. That the audience for Beetlejuice was statistically younger than the average for Broadway shows. That Beetlejuice was the first Broadway show for a huge number of audience members. That the fact that fans were so engaged and active that we helped bring it back from the dead. We said his name three times, and Beetlejuice returned for a real send off, one the show deserved, to 1600 adoring Netherlings.

Tumblr media
Dating an F1 driver meant you were very used to two things
Being patient
Sharing
And usually, you were. You'd been going out with Lando for long enough now that even though the world knew you were official. You waited in the paddock, you waited in the pit lane, you waited at the parties, you waited when he was stopped in the street, hell, you even took pictures of him with fans when you were on dates. There was no doubt about it that you were the Queen of Patience. You shared his attention with everyone, and you never complained, because honestly, you didn't mind.
Except everyone's patience has to run out sometime.
It was the Monday after a race weekend. Lando had driven like a star and he was, as usual, basking in his own little bubble of glory, you by his side every day. You were currently in his new Monaco apartment, if you could call it that, the place was huge. He had promised a couple of days just for the two of you, time to make up lost attention he liked to call it. Lando loved to spoil you. He was still new to the whole serious relationship thing, but he was hooked. He lived to make you smile.
But, Lando was also easily distracted and when you had arrived he was mid-game, you didn't know what, with his little gaming drivers club. This was familiar territory for you, so you dumped your bags in the corner of his room, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek which he gratefully received, and took yourself off for a shower to get rid of the grimy aeroplane feeling.
Perhaps it was the combination of not having been able to be close to him in the last week and the fact that you'd just finished your period, but you decided to put on matching underwear after your shower, and one of his t-shirts that only just covered your ass. The set also happened to be Lando's favourite, black lace that left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
When you sauntered back into his bedroom you caught his eyes leave the computer screen and follow your bare legs to where you flopped on the bed. He grinned at you, eyes shining like he'd just been handed the biggest gift under the tree on Christmas day.
"You coming over here?" you asked quietly to make sure it wasn't picked up on his mic. You didn't think George Russel would be the type to let it go if he heard you actively flirting with the baby brother of the grid. Lando cast a glance back to the screen, he had his headphones on and you could just hear the sound of voices coming through. He covered the mic attachment for a moment.
"I'm on a stream," you shrugged, initially unbothered. You could entertain yourself.
Except Lando seemed to have something else in store for you. You couldn't quite tell if he was doing it on purpose, but as you watched him you could have sworn he was winding you up. Innuendos slipping through his shouts at the others, stretching up more than normal, leaning back in his seat to give you a clear view of his profile. Not to mention the cheeky winks and grins he kept throwing over his shoulder for you.
You could feel yourself getting hotter, and you weren't cooling down. He had you completely riled up having done nothing out of the ordinary. You shifted in your spot, so the t-shirt rode up and gave him a perfect view of your ass and the black thong sat on your hips. You caught the way he licked his lips before continuing with the game.
The final straw for you was when he lost, shouting with frustration and then standing up. You watched shamelessly as he stretched, the hoodie he was waring riding up giving you a glimpse of his well-toned abs, and the waistband of his underwear. You felt your lower stomach clench.
"Lando," you all but whined. When he looked over at you, you didn't quite recognise the look in his eyes. Lando was usually a little shy, the both of you still young and discovering yourselves when it came to sex, but now he was staring at you like you were his last meal. Was he- did he just smirk at you?
You stood up and made your way over to his setup, unable to stand waiting for another second. The feeling of his hand making contact with the back of your thigh, freely roaming up towards your bum was enough to make you shiver, especially as he so easily kept up the conversation over the stream as if you weren't there. You virtually melted into him when his fingers grazed lower, his digits just pressing where you wanted him most. He raised an eyebrow at you and pushed the lace aside for a second as if to confirm what he'd just found.
"Jesus Christ," his voice was a little breathier than it had been a moment ago "I haven't even touched you and you're already this wet?" You couldn't do anything to stop the whine that escaped you as he removed his hand, and replaced your underwear. The damp spot now felt cold against your burning core.
"Lando, please," you knew he loved it when you said his name like that. His cameras were off so you leaned forward, pressing kisses against the smooth, tan skin of his neck. You felt him shudder, pleased that he wasn't entirely immune to you.
"I know, Princess," he said when you were giving him your absolute best bedroom eyes. "Just let me finish this level and I promise I will go down on you until you cum at least three times," his words made you gulp.
"Promise?"
"Promise,"
You had never seen Lando play so terribly in a game, losing within minutes. He signed off from the chat with the most insincere disappointment you had ever heard, and before you could even process what was happening his hoodie had vanished and he was on top of you.
One thing about Lando was that he had never broken a promise. And so you weren't particularly surprised when your underwear was all but ripped off you in feverish abandon, your legs thrown over his shoulders, one hand digging into the soft flesh of your thigh and the other curling inside of you in the most delicious way as he ate you out like there was no tomorrow. All tongue and teeth and filthy moans that shook you right to your core.
You came four times, actually. And it was only with tears streaking down your face, your voice hoarse from screaming his name that he finally stopped because you were begging to feel him inside of you. He looked a little hesitant at first because the state you were in had your legs trembling like jelly and you looked like you might faint if he did anything else to you. But when you pulled him down for a kiss, moaning loudly as he licked into your mouth, allowing you to taste yourself on him, he knew he was fighting a losing battle.
There was no better feeling on the planet than Lando inside of you. And him sat back against his headboard, cradling your body as you rode him, crying out at the stretch and the feeling of him brushing up right against that spot inside of you? You could have sworn you'd died and gone straight to heaven.
You came twice more around him before Lando couldn't take the sensation any longer and you felt him twitch as he buried his head in your neck and came with a strangled cry.
"I missed you," he kissed the top of your head, his previous smirk replaced with a sleepy smile as he cradled you in his arms.
"Missed you too, Princess,"

i’d love some ianthony hurt/comfort fics where one of them gets hurt or injured by someone on set and the other gets all caring and protective!! bonus points for including the other smosh cast members too hehe thanks so much!!
im not a huge ianthony fan, but i tried! sorry its short 😭
Ianthony- A Big, Big Mess on Our Hands Tonight
-
"So, Eat It or Yeet It, Ianthony Edition, ey? Sounds great!" Anthony proclaimed.
"Yeah! I'm so ready to fuck ALL this shit up!" Ian chuckled. Garrett looked at the two men with a glint of nervousness in his eye.
"I, uh, hope you know not all of these dishes are going to be bad, right?" he asked. Both Ian and Anthony's faces fell.
"Well damn."
The cooking went off without a hitch, even with Ian and Anthony fucking around, still overjoyed to have the other back. Garrett took most of the actual cooking, while the other two did the prep.
Soon, it was time to shoot the episode. A chorus of "Eat It or Yeet It!" rang out.
"Hello and welcome to a very special Eat It or Yeet It-" Courtney began, pausing momentarily. "I say that every time, don't I?" they asked aloud.
"Anyway! I have reason to say it on this fine evening- it's the Ianthony episode!" Cheers came from the table as Ian and Anthony both smiled to the Garrett cam. "Here are the rules!" Courtney said for the edit.
"Garrett wouldn't let us torment you guys... that much." Ian commented. Spencer, on of the contestants, rolled his eyes.
"Don't make me threaten to kill myself again." Spencer sighed. Ian chuckled.
"No promises!"
The first few rounds went as well as any Eat It or Yeet It does- Damien got some weird pasta dish that everyone else refused to taste, Tommy got a plain ass tortilla, Angela got a vegemite donut, and Spencer got an overcooked pizza in a "My Favorite Pizza Place" box.
Issues arose when the big bite came out. Anthony had pitched a dish to be served on fire for the big bite, and Garrett helped him prepare a cherries jubilee flambé.
Anthony had worked a deal with Courtney prior, ensuring Anthony could light the dish himself.
"When this dish is presented, make sure nobody is near it! We wouldn't want an accident..." Garrett had warned. Anthony had mumbled an acknowledgement.
The five people sitting around the table made small talk as the last round was being prepped.
"I can't believe I got the big bite AGAIN." Shayne groaned, head resting on his forearm to ensure no cheating.
"My brother in christ, you didn't even try to hit the bell." Spencer retorted.
"I do think hitting the bell is a vital part of the game..." Tommy added.
"I know! I was the one who pitched this show, dammit!" Shayne snapped in false anger.
"Ohhh, I'm Shayne!! I pitched this show because I like the pain I go through!" Angela mocked.
"Holy shit, are there two Shaynes here?!" Damien joked.
"Okay losers, it's time! Open your eyes!" Courtney called out. Everyone did as they asked, but instead of Courtney, Anthony stood in the center, revealing the dish.
"Five...?" The count started. Anthony pulled out a pocket lighter to flambé the dish.
"Four..." With two clicks, the lighter lit, and Anthony put the flame to the dish.
"Three..." It caught instantly, blue flames climbing the dish.
"Two...!" The flames climbed higher than Anthony inticipated, though, and it made contact with his hand.
"FUCK-" Anthony yelled, quickly yanking his hand back.
"Oh my god, cut, someone get a medic!" the director called.
Anthony would blame the adrenaline, but events after that were a blur. The medic showed up and walked him through the proceedures. It was nothing more than a small first degree burn, but it still hurt like a bitch.
As the medic finished up bandaging Anthony's hand, Ian walked into the room. "Anthony, are... are you okay?" he asked.
Anthony looked to the medic. "Yeah, he'll be fine. Just be careful around the area." she smiled. "Take care now." And she left, leaving Anthony and Ian alone.
"That's... good." Ian said, running a hand through his hair.
"Yep. I've had worse, anyway. I was a teenager once, you know." Anthony joked. Ian didn't laugh, and shifted his weight.
"I was worried. About you."
Oh. Anthony felt a pang in his heart. He walked over to Ian, bringing the other into a hug.
"I'm sorry. I'm okay, I promise."
Ian smiled. "I'm glad."

I have no intention of watching the new IWTV show, but I was wondering why you think Armand's characterization was so bad. I kinda hated how Antonio Banderas played him in the 1994 movie (not on its own, just in comparison to the books - I feel like his personality/demeanor was totally different), so it's sad that they still haven't gotten him right... Judging from pictures alone, I did think the casting for him was more fitting this time. Anyway, just curious to hear your thoughts!
Oh man!!!!!!!!! I do wanna say up front, I think Antonio was NOT A GREAT ARMAND but I like those scenes in the movie so much because they feel SO RICEY to me. Like I LOVE Movie!Armand even though he isn't Book!Armand, and if you read IWTV in good faith it's the only book that doens't harp on Armand looking like a smol uwu cherub so like ! SURE. He definitely still brings the calm nurturing mentor vibe in a huge way and the scenes in his room feel the most like the books to me.
I also know from the director's commentary that they specifically wanted Armand to look like that so that the Europe vampires would feel like OLD WORLD SCARY vs like, another twink lol. So he's got a little more of a tropey Dracula vibe going on and I think like as a visual contrast it works really well.
As far as the show; I think Assad is EXCELLENT. And like the whole fandom was joking even when the credits hit IMDB that it was gonna be Armand because everyone was like "OHH ARRIGHT.. LOUIS'S """""ASSISTANT"""""" OKAY !" so like I was one of the conspiracy theorists looking for clues the whole time. And his MANNERISMS are dead on and gave him away before anything else did. I have zero issue with the actor, I think he's so spooky and a complete smokeshow which Armand DESERVES. And I wish I could like the show for him, I really do! But it's just NOT WORKING FOR ME.
I'll put the rest under a cut cause it got lengthy and I'm not trying to like be a downer on anyone's dashboard but TLDR the show is so completely unrecognizable to me and I think it would've been so much better as an original concept, and personally I'm not excited by randos who share names with the books I read. The show is a hit! People really like it! But idk like showing me these two random ass men and saying "Hey this is Daniel and Armand" doesn't excite me because the story they're showing me actually ISNT Daniel and Armand lol. I'm here for the story!!! I'm not here for Easter Eggs!
Here's my main few gripes with how they wrote Armand which I find mega disappointing:
He spends 6.9/7 episodes pretending to be Louis's assistant named Rashid. WHY! LOL. Why would he do that! DANIEL DOESN'T REMEMBER HIM ANYWAY SO WHY???????? I DONT UNDERSTAND. Like Armand is a weirdo but is he THIS WEIRD? idk. idk.
The show also (in my opinion!) horrifically botched Lestat, but there's like this grain of doubt because the show has a theme of memory being unreliable, so the speculation is that maybe Armand planted a skewed version of events in Louis's head? Even the show runner sort of hinted at this? LIKE I HATE THIS?? Because if we get to S2 and it turns out that Lestat's been misrepresented, it then turns the tables and makes it that ARMAND is the one who's horrifically botched????? Like I'm all for silly Armand jokes and memes and whatever but like. sigh idk i just looked really forward to this show and hoped to see Armand on screen and I didn't really want a meme version of him. ((Also as an aside I really dislike the unreliable memory themes on the show the way they're presented because like the books frame unreliable narration as like interpretive and emotional but the vampire lore canonically is that they have like mega supernatural photographic memory? idk. If memory is faulty because they still have that human fallibility it's one thing unless they're saying Armand planted memories in Louis's head??? idk idk.))
And like speaking towards whether or not Armand is a person who would plant false memories in Louis's head; I concede that he psychically influenced Louis to join him in IWTV but like. ARMAND IS A NUANCED CHARACTER WHO ACTS FROM A PLACE OF NEED AND HURT. And idk it's just so fucking clunky I can't imagine the manipulation taking this type of shape. There's just, to me LOL, a huge difference between the mental nudge of "You are lonely and you need guidance please come with me" and "Lestat was a horrific domestic abuser." And like. idk. Just within the package of the whole rest of the season, this team has the subtlety of dropping a fucking piano so I just have no trust in them to write him with any sense of nuance.
AND THE BIGGEST OFFENSE THAT I'M JUST COMPLETELY DISGUSTED BY IS THAT HE'S A DAYWALKER?????????????????????????????????????????????????
I just hate the daywalking shit so fucking much I can't even start. Like the show changes a lot of the lore which is fine whatever it's their show change lore if you feel like it whatever but like. ARMAND'S ENTIRE LIFE IS THEMATICALLY BOOKENDED BY DARKNESS. He grows up in a CAVE. He lives in a CULT BENEATH A CEMETARY. He tries to KILL HIMSELF by GOING INTO THE SUN.
Like. And he's only 500? That's like adolescent for a vampire LOL.
There were a couple times in the season where they had some continuity errors on the show!lore so I got the vibe that the writers didn't really care about all the VAMPIRE STUFF which is kinda disappointing to me bc I'm a nerd lol but it felt like they used Armand in the sun to just give the audience a red herring and it came across as really cheap to me. So I wouldn't put it past this team to kinda be like DAYWALKING SURE LOL and not really take it seriously or think about the larger picture of how that unfolds for the character over more seasons.
IT'S WHATEVER, I JUST. I know it wouldn't make good television but I like VC because it's like existential dread and consuming darkness, I want it to hurt me, I want it to feel bleak, I want Armand's entire arc to be about how much he struggles with the idea that there's no God. It just feels like if you can make it a few centuries and be able to withstand the sun, what's the fucking point? What sacrifice did you make for being immortal? Especially for a character like Armand who so fully believes himself to be damned and would never want to make another vampire, would never subject even an enemy to it.
Especially bc like in the show the vampires can like ? Smoke? And have sex? And they can eat food (even though it tastes like paste but they can eat food). IF YOU CAN SMOKE AND FUCK AND GO IN THE SUN YOU'RE JUST A GUY. Where's the fucking DAMNATION OF IT ALL? Also what's the fucking point of Those Who Must Be Kept if you can go in the sun lol. I just . Ugh what a clusterfuck.
The show turns vampirism into more of a power fantasy than the way the books treat it as damnation or a symbol of being othered so it doesn't really mesh with like, my idea of VC and what I want out of it.
So Armand being a daywalker = Instant Nope From Me. I'm not interested in whatever they're trying to sell me lol.
A few other things that are NOT confirmed but generally just giving me the ick that I worry about:
I really, really, deeply, truly, hated how they wrote Claudia's character and how they wrote about rape, and that gives me a really bad feeling about how they'd potentially tackle Armand's canon background. The two options are: They don't, and he's a completely different character with a different background, with completely different context for his personality/motivations/etc (in which case who the fuck cares he's just some guy who shares a name with the book I like, and not really Armand), or: They GO THERE and it's just extremely heavy handed and insensitive and not fun to watch. I think show!Claudia maybe has more in common with Armand than book!Claudia because they aged her up to be a teenager so it's just, yikes. THEN AGAIN ARMAND IS NO LONGER A TEENAGER ON THE SHOW?
And to that point like. I don't need a bunch of fucking conservatives getting in my face about how I want to see a teenager sexualized because that's not the point; logistically for TV it makes sense that he's older, but again, it changes his backstory so much. imho, Armand being turned as a teenager and looking like a teenager is a huge element of his character! It's important! It just is! And I'm sorry that the show decided that the vampires could have sex, because they invented this problem for themselves! If they kept the canon lore you wouldn't have to see them have sex anyway LOL.
I also was not a fan of the truncated timeline of the show; season 1 takes place in like 30 years I think? And covers from the beginning of the story until Lestat's murder. And I believe Louis will meet Armand in the 1940s; they have the original interview in the 70s and they're together then, and they're together in the present in 2022. Idk I'm just not impressed; humans can get divorced after 30 years too, what's the point of having immortal characters if you're not gonna stretch out the timeline? And so much happens for Armand and Louis in canon and I have no idea what's happened or not happened on the show yet, no one's really sure which events have happened yet in the present day segments of the show. So like idk there's just a lot of Armand/Louis stuff to be smushing into 70 years lol and I'm bummed that they're rushing through the timeline so much.
So I just. Sigh. There's a lot of themes in VC that I really adore that the show doesn't care about, like being VERY OLD and NEVER SEEING THE SUN AGAIN but. I'm in the minority on this one because people love the show LOL. I'm happy for everyone who likes it, but it's not for me.
And like. Just! I knew going in that it would be the Loustat Show, I think everyone knew that, I didn't have huge expectations for Armand/Daniel content but it's such a small part of the books that like it would've been nice to get a couple scenes or some gifs out of it or whatever. It just sucks that like they SET UP the series in a way that the Devil's Minion won't happen on screen. And it sucks that like, depending how long the show runs for or how long AMC retains the rights, this might be the only chance in my lifetime that I had to see Devil's Minion on screen and it's not going to happen.
It's just a bummer man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry to anyone who likes the show lol I just found it to be like mega disappointing and I don't think I'm going to watch S2, I'm too upset about Armand & Daniel LOL.

Making Magic- Rewritten
Summary: You’re an equestrian and you have been for years. Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan are your mentors and father figures-it’s your first horse show and they’re with you. What could go wrong? Or in your case, what could go right?
Pairings: Sebastian Stan x teen!reader, Chris Evans x teen!reader, mcu cast x teen!reader
Warnings: mentions of anxiety, mentions of parental issues, anxious thoughts, tooth-rotting fluff :)
Word Count: around 4.5k?
A/N: hi lovelies! part two is coming soon i swear, i’m just very busy :) here’s the rewrite!!
Tumblr media
The funny thing about horse show days is that no matter how stressful they are, anyone in the “show business” would rush to defend them the second someone starts to say anything negative about them. It’s not that they’re wrong though; horse shows can be some of the most exciting and rewarding experiences in the equestrian world. You knew this personally.
Not only have you been equestrian your whole life, you’ve been to countless shows. The thrill of watching someone do what you loved professionally couldn’t be compared to anything else you’d ever felt. The only thing stressful about show days for you was the traffic and finding a place to park. Today was majorly different, though-it was your first horse show.
After waking up at the ass-crack of dawn to get the trailer ready, you finally made your way over to the stable. The route to Mac’s stall was ingrained in your memory, and you smiled absentmindedly at the familiarity of it all. Mac somehow sensed that today was a big day for the both of you, and the minute you stepped in the stall, he came over to you. He nuzzled you as you sat down next to him, his head falling on your knees. You sat there and cuddled him with a smile on your face. The upcoming chaos of the day meant that there was no harm in a little bonding time for both of you.
Much to Mac’s dismay, you stood up five minutes later. You took a deep breath as you put his halter on. The soft material was comforting on your hands as you adjusted it, putting it over his head. You checked you watch and smiled when you saw the time-you had at least an extra thirty minutes. Instead of leading him straight to the trailer, you led him to a tack stall. You grabbed your grooming bag and took out the curry comb. Dirt flew off of Mac’s coat as you brushed gentle circles through his coat. It confused you how he managed to get this dirty, you’d bathed him last night!
The familiar grooming routine allowed you to fall into a bit of a daze. It was a common theme-you’d always found it easy to get lost in horses. Your relationship with your parents wasn’t the best, but your dad was an actor in the MCU. This, of course, set up a bunch of connections for you with almost everyone who’d ever stepped foot on the set. It didn’t even come close to making up for the absence it had created with your dad, but you were pretty thankful you at least had this. It was nice to be able to have someone to look up to.
In your case, though, it wasn’t just one person. The whole marvel cast had made it their mission to be there for you as much as they could when they found out about your situation. 75% of your time was spent with at least one member of the cast, and if you weren’t physically with them, they were almost always texting you. It was a little bit overwhelming at first-going from almost no attention from family to almost always having someone to talk to was a huge change for you. You’d grown to love it eventually. As you got to know them, you realized that they were genuinely some of the most caring people you’d ever met. You got close with all of them, especially Sebastian and Chris (Evans, of course.) They took on the roles of mentors and father figures in stride, and you really couldn’t be more appreciative of the change in your mental health that caused.
If you were honest, the only reason you’re where you are right now is because of those two. When they found out about your pure passion for horses and realized you didn’t have the resources to be fully invested in the sport, they took major action. Chris did a lot of research. There were some days where he was still up when the sun rose, tired eyes staring at a computer screen as he scrolled relentlessly through articles. After about a week, he and Sebastian approached you asking if they could help you out. At first, you gave them a hard no. As you expected, though, they kept pushing. You gave in after a solid two hours of nonstop begging, albeit reluctantly, and then found out they already managed to buy an old barn for you. You were pissed off at first-they didn’t even ask you before they bought it-but you settled down when you saw the place.
Seb and Chris had insisted it wasn’t a big deal. Logically, you knew it wasn’t. They had so much money they didn’t even know what to do with it, and it made sense in their heads. The fact that they’d both come to see you as a daughter figure only added to the idea. The minute they saw the ad online, they were instantly charmed and knew you would be too. So they did the logical (okay, maybe not that logical) thing and bought it.
The minute you pulled up to the place, you’d instantly fallen in love with it. It was a little bit on the older side, but it was evident to you that it could be turned into a work of art with a little bit of work and love. It was tucked away into a quiet area with trees surrounding it, making it more charming in your eyes. The red and brown paint was faded, and the barn’s 5 stalls were coming apart, but you had faith. The pasture was huge, giving you more and more inspiration for the future of the barn.
It took the three of you (with a boatload of help from the cast) about a year to get it fixed up, but when it was done, you were very proud of it. It was one of the most gorgeous barns you’d ever seen. It had a comforting aura surrounding it, and you still take solace in that every chance you can. When you got Mac, you stopped spending your days repairing the barn. It got more and more common for someone from your close circle to walk in and see you in Mac’s stall or out in the arena. Everyone adored the Palomino, sitting and watching as you worked on showjumping in the arena or put up dressage letters to work on another test.
A tap on your shoulder brought you out of your thoughts, and you turn around to find Chris with a soft smile on his face.
“How ya feelin, kiddo?” he asks you kindly, looking Mac up and down as if to reassure himself that he’s still there.
“I’m okay. A little lost in thought, but that’s normal I think? Where’s Seb?” you question him, one eyebrow arched at the missing presence.
“He’s hanging out in the truck. He’s very excited to make our first pre-show Starbucks run!” Chris says, shimmying his shoulders with a teasing smile on his face. You rolled your eyes, having expected that. It’s well-known among everyone that Seb’s a sucker for Starbucks, seeing as he doesn’t hide it very well.
With the knowledge that all of Mac’s tack is in the trailer already, you hooked his lead rope back onto his halter and led him to the trailer. Chris followed behind in a way that reminded you of a lost puppy, a giggle escaping your lips at the thought. Thanks to the treats you used to bribe him, Mac goes in easily, snorting loudly at the treat you gave him. After making sure the trailer’s locked up and closed correctly, you hopped in the truck and took your signature spot between Chris and Sebastian.
“Starbucks time?” Sebastian asked, eyes lighting up at your nod.
30 minutes and a coffee run later, the three of you were finally headed to the showgrounds. You stole the aux as usual, your favorite music blaring through the speakers. They both danced and sang with you, the energy in the truck way more hyped up then humanly possible at the early hour. The sun was just starting to come up, giving you the view of one of the most beautiful sunrises you’d ever seen. The ride to the grounds was peaceful, a stark contrast to the upcoming events of the day. The second they parked, the mood shifted from peaceful to anxious instantly. You got out quickly, climbing over poor Chris in the process, and got Mac out. The ground crunched under his hooves as you led him around, leaving Chris and Seb to prepare what they could for you.
Sebastian walked over to you first, noticing the anxious manner in which you walked him around the parking area.
“You doin’ okay, darlin’? I know you’re nervous but pacing with Mac isn’t going to help. What can I do?” he questions, words coming out in a mouthful.
“I really don’t know. I need to go lunge him but I’m so stressed out right now I feel like I’ll trip over my own feet.” you admitted in a soft tone. Sebastian’s heart clenched at your words.
“What if I come in the ring with you to lunge Mac? Or I can go grab Chris if you want. Remember how you taught us all that stuff about lunging and shit? We’ve gotcha this time. Let us help, honey.”
You weren’t expecting tears to form in your eyes at his words. Instead of showing your face, you barrelled into him for a hug. Mac’s lead rope fell to the side as Seb’s arms wrapped around you, letting you take all the time you needed to breathe before you pulled away.
“Can you come in with me after you go let Chris know where we’ll be? You know how he is, he’s gonna wanna come watch even though I’m not even on Mac.” you sniffled, and Sebastian nodded and headed off. You hooked Mac’s lunge rope on his halter and led him into the ring, making sure you were alone so you could safely lunge him.
A few minutes after getting him to a working trot, Chris appears in your line of view, smiling at you from the edge of the arena. Before long, Sebastian is heading towards you, cocking his head as if to ask if you needed any help. You grinned reassuringly at him and looked back at Mac. When you finally got him into a working canter and warmed up, you waved Chris over.
“Could you go set up some jumps for me? I’m gonna lunge him over some smaller verticals. Maybe 2’3?” You asked him.
“Absolutely, I’ll set a line up. Want me to get Sebastian to hold him while you go get changed? I know it’s a little early for that, but it’s cold out. I don’t want you getting sick.”
You nod as you head to the truck, gathering your clothes in your arms while you walk to the back of the trailer. You eventually decided on a long-sleeve white riding top, one of Chris’ hoodies to go over it, and a pair of your favorite sweats. You wanted to put off changing into your actual riding clothes until Mac was tacked up.
You got back to the arena to see an absolutely adorable scene. Sebastian is holding Mac while snuggling his neck, and Chris is sitting on a jump doing his best to measure it. You grabbed your phone out of your pocket and snapped a quick picture, heading over to help Chris and take Mac from Seb.
You worked him back up to a canter, lining him up with the line Chris set up. You grin as he jumps it flawlessly, smile growing even wider as he jumps it even better the next time. Confident you could raise the vertical again, you signaled Chris over, pointing to the jump.
You’d made the decision to show in the 3 foot jumpers as well as the 2’8, so you had Chris set up two verticals and an oxer. The oxer was 3’2, just in case you qualified for the bonus round, and the verticals were 3 feet. You lunged him over those jumps for about half an hour until you were satisfied, Chris and Sebastian watching from the sidelines with proud smiles on their faces.
“Ready to tack up?” Chris asked as you walked over with Mac in tow. You nodded, and together, you headed up to the barn area. Sebastian checked you in while Chris helped you find Mac’s stall. The barn itself was pretty much deserted-it was around 9 in the morning, and the show didn’t start until 11. Putting Mac in his stall, you ran to the truck and grabbed your tack box.
You’d decided on a wintergreen saddlepad the night before, a choice much approved by Chris. You hooked Mac onto the crossties and brushed him again, getting as much dirt off as possible before you started to tack up. The saddlepad went on first, and after adjusting it a little bit, you threw the saddle and girth on. After you put the bridle on, you handed Mac over to Sebastian and ran to the bathroom to change again. You changed out of your sweats to put on your “show-worthy” breeches, and zipped up your boots as quickly as you could. Grabbing the helmet you haphazardly placed on the sink, you jogged out to the warm-up arena to meet the boys. After adjusting your stirrups, Chris gave you a leg up and you got situated in the saddle.
You thanked everything that the arena was empty as you came into a posting trot, pointing the boys to the jumps you wanted set up. You let yourself do a few laps around the arena as the boys set the jumps up, doing a few breathing exercises as you went. Picking up a canter, you did your best to find your distance to the first line. You clicked at Mac as you rode over the first one, losing your balance a little bit at the second one. The adrenaline started to kick in as you easily went over the last two, giving Mac a pat as you brought him down to a trot. You came back around and went over them again, trying to get the distances as perfect as possible. You let yourself get lost in the motions, the jumps becoming easier for you both to maneuver. Going over a few more variations of height and pattern, you hopped off and checked the time. You did the math in your head as you led Mac back to his stall.
You show at two, and it’s 10:45-you’ve got three hours to prepare. Looking around, you slowly notice the amount of people there. Naturally, your brain starts to set into a spiral. What if you’re not good enough? What if you embarrass yourself in front of everyone? What if you fall?
Not even a minute later, Chris and Seb walk over. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think they could sense your train of thought. They both had a feeling something was up, and that was confirmed when they saw the tears in your eyes.
“Hiya, buddy, I know it seems scary right now, yeah? But you know that you deserve this just as much as everyone else here, right? We’re both really proud of you, lovie,” Sebastian reassures, Chris nodding along. The boys both pull you into a hug as you feel your anxiety start to calm itself down a little bit.
“How ‘bout we go check out your course?” Seb smiles as you pull back, both Seb and Chris taking one of your hands to lead you to the paper. Of course you’d studied the course the night before-you weren’t a madman-but both the boys wanted to make sure you were as prepared as possible. You had to give it to them-they were doing their hardest to make sure you were comfortable.
“I wish the others could be here,” you mumbled, unfocused eyes scanning the paper for what felt like the 100th time.
“I know, love. You know how Chris is though! He’s gonna be filming the whole thing,” Sebastian teased, both of you laughing at Chris’ mock offended expression.
Little did you know, Anthony, Robert, Scarlett, both of the Toms and Mark were going to be there to surprise you. Chris had decided to get into contact with them a few days prior, telling them that it was our first show. He somehow managed to organize the whole thing, and everyone was out of their minds with excitement.
Once you were confident you had the course down, Sebastian and Chris set out to find as many distractions for you as they possibly could. They took you to the show shoop and grinned as you stared in awe at all of the merchandise they had on display. Your eyes kept wandering to a grey hoodie with the show’s logo on it, but you dismissed it with a grimace when they asked about it. Chris walked off with you to the cafe while Sebastian stayed behind, grabbing the hoodie off the rack and paying for it. It was your first show;they had the right to indulge you a little bit!
The time flew by faster than you could comprehend. Soon enough, it was time for you to get your number and warm Mac up. The boys did all that they could think to do for you-tying your number on your belt, leading Mac to the ring, and sneaking him a few treats. Your nerves steadily got worse as the crowd multiplied, the crowded stands more intimidating than you thought was possible. They did their best to calm you down, but even their comforting words couldn’t get rid of them entirely.
As you rode into the final warm-up ring, Chris and Sebastian ran up to the gate. They wanted to make sure they could send you off, being the proud guys they are. They watched intently as you warmed up a few jumps, excitement radiating off of them. As they scanned the crowd, the boys spotted the cast members in the front seats. Chris was puzzled for a second-all of the front row seats were reserved-but let it go when Sebastian tapped his shoulder. From your point of view, it would be impossible to not see the cast, and this somehow excited Chris and Seb even more.
The minute you got in line, the boys appeared right by your side. They had the biggest smiles you’d ever seen on their faces, automatically putting a giant smile on yours.
“Holy shit!” Seb whispered, blushing at the death stares this got from the other riders in your class.
“I know! I’m fucking terrified. I know the course, I know Mac’s ready, I just don’t feel ready, I guess,” you sniffled, ”but at least I have the same course for my 4 o’clock class!” you stated, sympathy in your eyes for the people who did. Chris reached up to give Mac a few pats on the neck, Sebastian doing the same with a smile.
“You got this in the bag, kiddo. I’m confident you’re gonna beat everyone’s asses out there,” Chris reassured you. You rolled your eyes but smiled anyway, feeling the confidence from the boys practically transfer into you.
“Feelin’ okay?” Seb asks for what felt like the fiftieth time that hour. You nodded slightly, effectively cutting off the conversation as the buzzer sounds for the rider in front of you. The feeling of Mac’s reins in your hands and his gentle breathing grounded you.
You watched the rider with bated breath. She knocks a pole over and ends up falling off, and your face pales. You can feel your heart race accelerating, hands trembling slightly as you tried to keep a hold on the reins.
“Shit, shit, shit!” you mumble, as Chris and Sebastian stand stiffly, jaws clenched so hard they could make diamonds. It was obvious this made your anxiety worse; so far, no one had gotten a clear round. You feel Chris’ hand on your leg and Sebastian’s hand in yours as you take a deep breath, their touches a simple way of saying they’re right there. The rider comes out of the gate looking devastated, and you give her a small nod. If it was even possible, your heart begins to beat faster.
You guide Mac into the gate and walk into the arena as the announcer begins her speech.
“Next up we have miss Y/N L/N! We’ve heard very good things about her, and cannot wait to see her ride. She’s on her horse Making Magic, aka Mac! You may start your round at the buzzer. Best of luck to you both!
Starting your courtesy circle, you bring Mac up into a canter around the arena. You gaze out at the stands, and you do a double-take. Sure enough, your cast is here. You feel your heart beating ten times faster, the pressure you’re under scaring you a little bit, but a glance at Chris and Sebastian and a deep breath clear your head.
The second the buzzer goes off, you made your way over to the first jump. It was clear you had no time to waste-the time allotted was barely enough for a rider who gallopped through the course. You soared over the first jump without effort, squeezing Mac with your heels to encourage him. Mac, being the angel he is, immediately does what you ask, letting you both continue the course easily. When you get to the second-to-last jump, the freakout sets in. Two other riders had previously fallen off over this jump. You swear time slows down as you scan the crowd for your boys, making eye contact with them. With a nod from Seb, you take a deep breath and count your strides. He eases into the distance, both pairs of eyes focused on the jump. They get there a stride too early, throwing you a bit off balance, but your faith in Mac never ceases as you coax him over it. The missing stride throws you out of your saddle a little bit, but what you choose to focus on is the fact that no poles were knocked down. A glance at the scoreboard reveals no penalties. You exhaled sharply as you realized there was only one jump left, using the reins to turn your horses’ head to it.
“Easy, easy,” you mumble, doing what you can to line the both of you up. Pushing Mac to his max, you get there at the perfect distance.
The second you both hit the ground, loud cheers break out from the whole crowd, and an ear-splitting grin comes onto your face instantly. You wave at the crowd, laughing when you spot the cast practically jumping up and down to get spotted by you.
“There you have it, folks! That was the last rider in this class, Y/N L/N, with the first and only clear round! Congratulations, you two!” The announcer said, a smile clear in her voice. You trotted out of the arena and headed straight to the cast, with one of the biggest smiles you’ve ever had on your face. Chris, Anthony, and Tom ran up screaming. You did your best to side-eye them but all hopes were lost when Sebastian started jumping up and down, causing you to giggle like a toddler.
“Holy shit! That was awesome! I told you you could do it!” Chris yelled, Anthony and Tom ecstatically nodding their heads at you as they patted Mac.
Everyone else ran up to congratulate you with huge smiles on their faces, and you couldn’t help but feel excited for your next round.

1.) Glee- Ryan Murphy is my enemy and glee is unhinged but it is hands down my FAVORITE show of all time. I started watching it when I was in 8th grade and the chokehold it has on me to this day is unreal. Season one was lighting in a bottle and to follow it up with an even better season after that? Lea Michelle is also my enemy BUT s1 Rachel berry is so fucking funny. Glee is the reason I joined chorus in high school- like the impact glee has on me? Incredible. Just 10/10. I could say more but we will be here all fucking day. And ofc Santana is my favorite character and I hope Naya is resting easy right now 💖
2.) Sucession- This show ate my ass for weeks and the brain rot after I finished it is still going strong. I avoided this show for a minute bc hearing about it through osmosis was enough and the fans put me off. I started about a month or two after the finale dropped. Like fuck rich people and fuck most of these characters but goddamn do I love it. I blew through this show so quick bc the acting??? The dialogue! THE EVERYTHING 🥵👏 you just know that if there’s a party or a dinner or some kind of rich people bullshit event that it will be the most compelling shit you’ve ever seen. Boar on the Floor was so sadistic and evil and FASCINATING. Like- I wanna open these people up and examine them. I was a Kendall girlie during my watch and a Shiv girlie post-show. I will say if you wanna enjoy this show just avoid.. most men’s opinions on it. I’ve heard the most shit takes on this show it’s ridiculous. It definitely lives up to the hype.
3.) Lovesick- Guys 🥺 if you’re gonna watch anything from this list watch this. I watched it when I was on a huge Netflix deep cut kick and WOW. Very lighthearted and funny romcom about a dude that finds out he has chlamydia and goes down the list of his old partners to tell them they need to get checked. All of these characters are so lovely and you just wanna root for them. It only loses points because it’s unfinished. I would’ve loved to see where things go for Dylan and Evie 🤧
4.) The Haunting of Bly Manor- INCREDIBLE. Mike Flannigan puts his whole pussy into into everything he makes. The write is incredible, the mystery is so well thought out. Every loose end is tied up just enough to let the viewer still have room to speculate. Definitely not scary in the way that Hill House is but everything else makes up for that. The cast??? I fucking love Rahul Kohli and I’ve loved that man since iZombie. Victoria Pedretti is the love of my life and the way she plays Dani? The range she has to go from Nell in Hill House to Dani is so sick. I just adore her. And of course T’Nia Miller as Hannah? She’s the clear standout. I need to see her in everything I’m BEGGING. The Hannah episode is truly the best episode of the entire season. This is a tragedy through and through and your heart will break for every single one of these characters. Just a gorgeous piece of television 💖
5.) Euphoria (Season One + Specials)- Again, Sam Levinson is my enemy but goddamn is season one SO GOOD. The aesthetics, the acting, the characters, the cinematography!? When Sam has a passion project and a story in mind he can truly make magic. Also putting Zendaya on your vision board and then actually landing her to be in it is so dope. The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Pee While Depressed aka S1Ep7 is my favorite episode by FAR. So real, so funny, so compelling. Everyone showed up to set that week to make MAGIC. I don’t make a ton of fanart but euphoria had my ass so hooked that all I wanted to do was draw Rue and I sure as hell did. I was looping All for us for MONTHS. It’s still the #1 song on my Spotify TO THIS DAY. The special episodes during Covid were also so well done. Season 2 is dog shit so it isn’t included in this but rip to Angus Cloud because he was so special and the clear highlight of season 2 as Fez. (I could watch him beat up Nate Jacobs all day 🥳)
A huge honorable mention for the shows A Young Doctor’s Notebook, Chewing Gum, & The Bear (s1) because holy shit 💖. The first 2 are both absurd comedies from my Netflix deep cut era.
AYDNC stars Daniel Radcliffe as this doctor that gets addicted to morphine in the backwoods of 20th century Russia. It’s a dark comedy and a wild ride. I only watched it once and I have no idea if it’s still on Netflix or not but if you have nothing to watch and you want something that’s pretty out there or you’re a fan of Daniel’s comedic acting you’re in for a TREAT.
Chewing Gum stars Michaela Coel as Tracey. So 👏 Fucking 👏 Funny. The writing is incredible and I can’t speak highly enough about the way Michaela drops you into the world for a wild ride. Tracey’s pretty much in the end of that awkward transition period between your teens and adulthood. Just a really hilarious coming of age story that DEFINITELY would’ve benefited from a true final season. If you like Michaela Coel you will like this. She also has a show called I May Destroy You and I can’t wait to sit down and watch it. I’ve heard all good things 💖
The Bear is way newer and s2 didn’t drop that long ago so I won’t go too in-depth about it like everything else but INCREDIBLE SHOW. If you like food and sad white men and just- EVERYTHING about Ayo Edebiri then you’ll love this. Season 2 isn’t my favorite but Season One?? This show makes me miss living in a city. I just 💖💖 I can’t recommend it enough. Jeremy Allen White’s arms are reason alone to watch. I’d let that man [redacted] my [redacted] for hours like he makes me UNWELL he’s so gorgeous.

Hiiiiiii ✨✨✨, I love your writing and I was wondering if I could make another request?
The request: you’ve been part of the cast of Twd since s8, your storyline has been build up to be Daryl’s girlfriend so you’ve become close to Norman, always had a huge crush on him and even tried to flirt with him but he has been really respectful to you, one day you post on your ig story a mirror selfie in a bikini, you realized Norman has seen it and the next day you over hear JDM tease Norman about the picture, so you decide to add only him to you “close friends” list and post more seductive pictures, a little of flirty texts after that and then some smut in Normans house when he invites you to rehearse a scene together? Maybe some age gap, reader in her last 20 and Norman his current age 🤍
Thank you so much!!
Hi sweetheart!
I'm glad to see a new request from you, that's make me think you liked the last one! I like to write about Norman, I changed some things I hope you don't mind and enjoy the story as well.
Hope you like!

Norman is at home in his New York apartment after a few months of non-stop work between the series and his own personal projects. He's sitting in his comfy armchair with a beer in his hand, absentmindedly stroking Eye in the Dark's head who is purring loudly happy to see his owner, his eyes darting around his social media with boredom as he stares at one particular photo and feels the beer catch in his throat.
It's a picture of you on your vacation, you're with your friends sharing a day at the beach, you're in a bikini, the top lifts your chest and the panties enhance your ass in a sexy but discreet way, but Norman can't take his eyes off your silhouette.
"Enjoying the last few days before returning to set." You caption and Norman bites his lip tugging at the hair on his goatee.
"Be careful with the sun. See you in a few days, girl." He adds in a comment below and when he sends it he freezes.
Maybe he shouldn't have? What if people misinterpret it? Not that he cares what people think either, but....
You've been castmates since season eight, the battle against Negan brought in new companions and you were one of them. Your character was a soldier of The Kingdom in the service of King Ezekiel, when the communities united to drive out Negan and the Saviors, your relationship with Rick's group grew closer, as the episodes and seasons went by Daryl and your character had become good friends, which meant you had more and more scenes together and you and Norman became good friends outside of the TV series. At first it was strange for Norman, he used to have no problems with relating to the people on set, with the kids and teenagers he was always joking around, teasing them without being annoying, with everyone else it was fun and they used to go out for a few drinks on nights when they didn't have to work the next day. You were in a range in the middle, you were not a kid, but it was weird to see you with them playing darts or drinking beers. Especially since you had accepted them all as friends and that meant you felt like one of them, so you weren't ashamed to jump in on conversations or joke around with them, you quickly became friends with Christian, Lauren, Alanna. Norman couldn't look away the first day he saw you walk into the bar in that dress, and after that, the blouses, the shorts....
"I'm a fucking dirty old man." He said to Jeffrey and Andy one day. "Every time I look at her all I see are her legs and..." He covered his face with both hands hearing his friends laugh.
"And her ass, yeah, we noticed that too, but man it's normal, she's young and pretty and you're single." Jeffrey finished the sentence for him and Norman groaned. "What, come on you guys are friends, what's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Then stop worrying."
And Norman tried to stop worrying, tried to act with you like he did with everyone else and found that the two of you fit together better than it seemed at first. You found music and travel as a common factor between you, different but very similar tastes that makes you recommend different bands or different destinations, which made you become closer, meet often for coffee and even went out in New York to spend the day, sometimes you would find some picture online of the two of you together and Norman felt something weird. Maybe he was taking too many liberties with you. That's why after writing on your photo he regrets it a little, he doesn't want people to misinterpret things, although in reality that's out of his hands, whether it's true or not, it's the good and the bad of being famous or that people consider you their idol. Whatever it is, good or bad, it is going to be judged and they will come up with their own theories whether they are true or not. You had to deal with some hurtful comments when your character started to become romantically interested in a female companion in the series and she was not the one the public expected, it still surprises you that your character has been well accepted by the fans.
"I'm looking forward to coming back. See you, Norm."
You've replied to him privately, his eyes dart through the sentence several times before he smiles and puts the phone aside. He knows that if he answers you'll be engaged in a long conversation and he doesn't want to disturb you on your vacation days with your girlfriends.
It's a few days later when Norman returns to the set he feels the stares of his co-workers on him and takes a deep breath when he sees Jeffrey's smile on his face. He walks up to him giving him a little squeeze as a greeting.
"How are you Norman, everything okay?"
"All good, non-stop, you know that." He shrugs. "What?"
"Nothing, I've seen you very entertaining with our partner."
"We just talked a little, what's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, nothing. She looked very pretty in those pictures."
"Jeffrey..." He looks at him sideways and he shrugs.
"It's true, she did look good on the beach and in the sand."
"Okay, I've just been curious as a friend."
"Come on, are you going to tell me you didn't wiggle it a little while...?"
"Jeffrey!"
"Hey, guys!" You greet them in exaltation, they both turn to look at you, Jeffrey greets you with a huge hug and Norman swallows nervously. Did you hear what Jeff said?
Yes, actually you heard it, Negan's interpreter has not been very discreet and was mocking his friend very openly, but it didn't bother you, on the contrary, you're almost curious to know what Norman would have answered, but hearing him shut him up in such a blunt way it's obvious that the subject makes him uncomfortable so there's nothing to expect. You're a little disappointed to tell you the truth, there has always been a significant age difference between the two of you, but you fell like an idiot for his friendly smile and easy banter. Norman was a person who made you feel loved, both on set and off, he always cared, he always counted on you for plans with the group and you fell in love. You know you're not the only one, you know that other went through that same stage of passing infatuation with the actor of Daryl Dixon, but you already had a crush on him for several years. However Norman has never shown that kind of interest in you. He's always been nice and has been able to discreetly reject you without hurting you in the process, but then he comments on your photographs and makes you think that maybe you're not as neutral to him as you think. Whenever you think something like that you feel your heart racing.
"Hi! How was your vacation?" Jefrrey asks hugging you tightly. "We saw that you had a good time."
"Yes, I had a pending trip with my friends and we finally made it." You laugh and look at Norman who immediately opens his arms and you hug each other warmly as well. "It's good to see you both. You guys haven't done anything?"
"I've been busy with the kids and the farm, non-stop." Jeffrey says.
"You have to invite me over, I want to squeeze your animals...and the kids too." You joke and the three of you laugh.
"Sure, anytime, Norman can take you he knows the way by heart."
"That would be great." You smile without taking your eyes off them and Norman nods. He doesn't quite know how to react to that conversation.
You have to get to work on the script for the third and final part of the season. You're all nervous and excited, you're sad to see the series end, but new projects are coming and you're excited about that too. You are going over the script and you are implementing some scenes being guided by the directors of what you should or shouldn't do.
"So they're arguing and...all of a sudden they kiss...isn't that too rushed?" You read the scene several times looking at Norman a little unsure.
"Your characters are always in a constant tug-of-war despite getting along. It's a good way to get the relationship on track to where we want it to be and then develop it in Daryl's story after the series."
You tense for a second looking at Norman with surprise, but he too seems just as shocked as you, neither of you expected that news, it was confirmed Daryl's new storyline, but no big details were known about it and now it seemed you were part of that storyline, but no one had told you anything.
"I-I didn't know..." You mumble, looking at the script in your hands again.
"We're still finalizing details, but yes, we want to include several characters and yours, of course, would be there too, even some children."
"C-children?" You redden violently and Norman laughs.
"People are going to love seeing Daryl with kids, his relationship with Judith and RJ people love." Insists the producer and you feel goosebumps rise on your skin.
Fuck, kids, that implies a lot of things, your character and Daryl's relationship not only becomes intimate, but a strongly built relationship, looking out for each other, protecting your family, your kids. Sex. It would involve sex with Daryl, also you in a scene with Norman where maybe... unless the story started after your kids were older.
"Hey, you still there?" Norman taps your shoulder and you react at last.
"S-sorry, I was thinking about...nothing." You mumble, looking down, your face red as a tomato.
You have been filming for several days, there is still a long way to go but the final is already taking shape and you are getting more and more anxious about how everything is going to end. You have taken a few hours of rest and you have taken the opportunity to go around and take some pictures, you send one to your social networks. The good thing about working in Georgia is the scenery, every day you spend among its roads, fields and forests you fall a little more in love with it all. No doubt it's going to hurt to leave. You take out your phone and take some pictures of the surroundings and yourself and re-post them as you walk along the promenade near a small lake. Your pocket vibrates and you pull out your phone seeing that Norman has come back to look at your photos.
"Perfect place to get lost." He's written to you and you laugh.
"It's a very nice place, I'm sure you already knew about it." You text him privately. "It has a lake." You send him a picture privately, but first you unbutton your jacket, revealing your sports bra and focus on you and the lake behind you.
Norman from the comfort of his home looks at the picture you sent him, of course the scenery is a marvel, but he can't take his eyes off your body; your bare shoulders, your tight, tight sports bra giving the perfect shape to your breasts, your bare belly soft and squishy to the naked eye, he knows what you're doing, it's not the first time you've tried to lure him in. He chews his lip several times and points his phone towards the garden of his house.
"If you want to take a swim, I have a pool." He writes to you after sending you the picture of his backyard. "We could take advantage and prepare some scene from the script before shooting tomorrow."
You read a couple more times his invitation, it's not the first time you've prepared the script together, it's not a strange invitation on his part, yet he sends you shortly after another picture of swim trunks on an unmade bed.
"Even I'll take a bath." He perks up and you walk nervously as you return.
"Okay, I'll stop by, but I don't have a swimsuit."
"Don't worry, I promise not to look...if you don't want to."
It's the first time Norman has responded to your flirtation, maybe not the most blatant you've ever had, but he has responded. Feeling your heart pounding you quicken your pace towards his house. When you arrive, Norman greets you at the door wearing one of his inseparable punk band t-shirts and swim trunks, he smiles and wraps his arms around your shoulders giving you a kiss on the cheek. You reciprocate his affection with another kiss. Norman has always been a loving man and you like that he is, there are never any double entendres in his hugs or his words of encouragement, he's just naturally that way.
"Come in." He invites you into his home and you set your backpack aside in the entryway. "I have cold beer, would you like one?"
"Please." You thank him by following him into the living room, where the huge windows look out onto his backyard, where he has the pool. "It's starting to get really hot again." It's the only thing you're having trouble adjusting to, Georgia's warm weather is my worst enemy.
"Yes, the hard months of shooting are coming." He comes back to you offering you the bottle of beer and you both drink at the same time. "Have you been out for a run?"
"What? no." You snort in amusement. "I just went for a walk, I like to take advantage of the days we have off and take some pictures... Did you know the place?"
"Yeah, I've gotten lost out there a few times myself when I take the bike."
You already imagined that Norman knew the place, after all he had been there the longest. After the second beer and a bit of discussion about how the TV series is going, you get to the script, you've come by the house to get yours, so you can read and discuss it comfortably. Being the last part of the series and trying to channel your friendship into a couple's relationship, the two of you share a large number of scenes. You're standing in the middle of his living room, arguing; your character and his are having differences about trusting the Commonwealth after discovering that they're not as good and kind as they first seemed.
"You know Dixon? Screw you." You say angrily, blustering. "I can understand you doing this for the kids, for Judith and RJ, but I never thought you'd turn your back on your own."
"I'm ain't turnin' my back on them. We came here 'cause it was better, people needed a safe place while they repaired Alexandria. It was a decision I had to make."
"So now what? you're just going to let them all die? I thought they were your family. I thought they were important to you." The anger in your voice goes soft and turns to resignation, Norman watches you intently chewing on his lip. "I thought I was...do as you please, Dixon, but I'm not going to stand idly by while they kill our people." You rebuke him by jabbing him in the chest with your index finger and turn around pretending to walk away.
Norman then acts quickly. He drops the script on the coffee table, grabs your arm making you turn around again, his free hand brushes your cheek and he leans towards you, kissing you. You open your eyes wide for a second, but you remember that the scene had a note on it that Daryl was supposed to kiss your character, you relax and let yourself go, maybe Norman just wanted to give you a peak, so that later when it came time to film it wouldn't be so violent for either of you, but you can't control yourself. You open your mouth under his lips and brush the tip of your tongue against his lips, you feel him tense for a second before holding you tighter, you lean against his waist and the kiss intensifies, your tongues meet and Norman growls. He never thought at his age he still had that effect on women. You pull apart in search of airlessness, barely moving away from each other, your gazes connected, but neither says anything. Norman caresses your lips with his thumb, without looking away you half open your mouth, trapping his finger between your lips, sucking. Norman's gaze falls on your mouth, watching as his finger disappears between your lips, as your tongue brushes the tip of it making several wet, obscene noises that strike directly at his crotch which begins to harden. His thumb closes inside your mouth trapping your tongue, you protest painfully holding him by the wrist, but he hisses to calm you down, his gaze fixed on you, a sly smile on his mouth gets your body trembling.
"Want something better to suck on?" he whispers, his voice husky and you groan against his finger nodding your head slightly. "Good girl." He says pulling his finger out of your mouth and kisses you again.
None of you are sure how you ended up in that situation. You were preparing the script and now you are kissing like two teenagers, but that's not all, without needing him to ask you, you kneel in front of him loosening the swimsuit and pull him freeing his cock that jumps in front of your eyes. Your mouth waters, it's not completely hard, but its size pleasantly surprises you. You hold his length rubbing up and down feeling it harden in your palm, you stick out your tongue and lick his size from the base to his tip where you close your lips trapping his head between your lips, sucking gently.
"Fuck..." Norman grunts as he feels your mouth taking him as much as you are capable of.
You slide inside your mouth his size, you feel his tip slide in deep and you hold back a gag, you look sideways at Norman before pulling it out again, you lick, suck and play with your tongue on his glans before slipping it back into your mouth starting to move your head up and down in a rhythm. Norman gasps and grunts without looking away from you, watching as his cock disappears inside your mouth, feeling your lips tighten on his length, as your saliva soaks his skin mixing with his pre seminal fluid, each time your mouth focuses on his tip licking and sucking as if it were a piece of candy.
"I love your mouth, babe, it feels so good." He says in a husky voice, never taking his eyes off you. He huffs and curses as he feels a tug on his balls and holds your head stopping you for a moment. "I'm going to cum... Can you hold it?" He says stroking your hair, in response you press your lips a little tighter on his cock, cupping your cheeks and Norman pushes his hips thrusting deeper into your mouth.
You rest your hands on his thighs and let him lead the pace, pushing into your mouth erratically, but without being rough, his cock quivers and swells against your tongue, Norman closes his eyes throwing his head back as he cums inside your mouth. The first spurt trickles down your throat forcing you to swallow fast, your mouth fills with his cum and you swallow slowly looking up watching Norman enjoy and his fingers tangle in your hair. Your whole body trembles and you feel yourself getting soaked wetting your panties. When you feel his fingers release your head you pull away pulling his cock out of your mouth, licking his length one last time, sucking on his glans hearing him hiss.
"Give me a break, girl, I'm not a teenager anymore." He whispers holding your chin. "But don't worry, we aren't done yet." His husky voice and darkened eyes elicit a moan from you and he smiles biting his lip. "How long have you been waiting for this, huh? Get up."
You obey without a word, Norman caresses your lips before kissing you, you open your mouth and his tongue makes its way out tasting itself on your tongue. You gasp again holding onto his waist, feeling him guide you until your legs bump against his couch. You pull away from his mouth, his fingers caressing your cheeks again. You'd like to say something, maybe ask where this is leading, what's going to happen after the passion fades and you're aware of what you've done. Norman has always brushed you off respectfully and politely and now however his fingers skillfully undo your clothes, he removes your jacket exposing your sports top and now tugs at your shorts. He kisses you urgently, bites your lips and when he pulls away he points to the couch with his head.
"Take off your clothes." He orders you getting rid of his own clothes and sits on the couch watching you.
Once again you obey what he asks, you unbutton your pants as you get rid of your shoes, your pants and panties go right behind, you want to take off your bra but Norman spreads his legs apart and taps his lap.
"Come." He says to you, his eyes fixed on your body.
You walk towards him, straddling his legs resting your hands on the back of the couch, Norman caresses your legs, pulls and removes your socks, his hands run up your legs, his fingers tighten on your waist moving up your back pulling you towards him to kiss your neck, your collarbone and up to your mouth. You sigh against his lips before kissing intensely, eagerly, your tongues tangle, the need and desire building, Norman holds your ass, massaging your cheeks. A new moan escapes your mouth and he growls.
"Sit on my face." He growls, his lips brushing yours. "I'm going to eat that pussy of yours until you lose your mind." Norman assures you and your whole body jerks against his. Your pussy gets wetter just thinking about it.
You sit up on top of him, Norman moves under your body and lies down so you can sit on him again. You lean against his chest biting your lip, you've never done anything like this, but Norman looks at you with such intensity that you can't wait for him to do it. He holds you down, guiding you so your legs are on either side of his face, you swallow nervously leaning back against the couch so you don't carry all your weight against him. His hand on your lower back guides you lowering your hips a little more. Your breath hitches the second his tongue brushes your slit, Norman caresses your lower back and ass at the same time his mouth opens and kisses your pussy, running his tongue up and down your slit, prodding your clit with the tip of his tongue, sucking on your sensitive muscle, trapping your folds in his mouth, to repeat over and over again. You moan and wiggle your hips unconsciously as his tongue delves deep into your pussy, fucking you over his slick muscle, you throw your head back as a cramp of pleasure runs through you.
"Oh fuck, Norman..." You call out to him without stopping moving, his nose presses against your clit and it gives you another jolt of pleasure.
He enjoys hearing you moan, every time his name comes out of your mouth in desperation his cock hardens starting to rise again resting against his hip bone. His thumbs part your folds giving him greater access to your cunt and his tongue goes much deeper, his nose presses against your clit and you moan loudly pulling on his hair.
"Norman! There! Right THERE!" you cry out unable to control yourself, thrusting your hips against his face feeling his tongue move expertly inside you, his lips suck on your pussy and his nose rubs relentlessly against your nub of nerves. "I'm... I'm so close...!" you moan and feel Norman's hands pull you closer, you're sure you're choking him, but neither of you stop.
The orgasm hits you violently, you feel it run through your whole body from your fingertips to your head, you spasm hard and dig your nails into the couch, your body lurching forward unable to control your own movements, you've never cum so violently, you've squirted in Norman's mouth, it's the first time anything like this has ever happened to you. You feel ashamed all of a sudden, maybe it was too much, maybe Norman wasn't amused that you cum in his face like that, you want to get up and apologize, but Norman keeps holding you against him, his tongue running along your folds, you even hear him humming in satisfaction. Your cheeks turn a reddish color when you can finally move, sitting on his lap as he sits up, his face wet and a mischievous smile on his mouth. He holds you by the nape of your neck and kisses you intensely once more, you gasp in response to his kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck, clinging to him as much as possible.
"You've squirted..." He whispers against your lips and you jerk away. "Do you think you could give me another one like that?" he asks and you look up at him, opening those wide. "I've never been with a woman who squirts and I admit it's made me so fucking horny." His tone is an octave lower than usual if it sounds like the voice he uses when he plays Daryl and you moan low.
Norman's mouth is back on yours, he kisses you with desire as his hand spreads your legs and caresses your thighs until he reaches your core, his thumb caresses your clit in small circles, still sensitive from your previous orgasm but you immediately feel the pleasure rush through you again, and you spread your legs further apart. You gasp and moan, Norman begins to lick and bite your neck as his middle and ring fingers work their way into your cunt. You hold onto his shoulders moving your hips against his fingers as he moves them in and out, still caressing your clit with his thumb as well. Your orgasm builds faster than the last, Norman finds the exact spot to make you shudder, your nails dig into his skin and he gasps in excitement.
"Give it to me, babe. Don't hold back. Soak me again." He whispers in your ear moving his fingers faster and bites your neck.
"N-Norman!" you moan and your legs begin to tremble.
Your juices splash and wet Norman's hand and the fabric of the couch as his fingers keep fucking you, driving you to a second high that almost makes you lose your mind. You close your legs as you feel your clit can't stand the continuous attention from Norman's fingers, your body is shaking and it's starting to get uncomfortable. You hug him making him understand, he pulls his hand away removing his fingers carefully and embraces you with his free arm licking the fingers of his hand enjoying your taste again.
"I love you girl, I could spend all day listening to you moan and tasting you." He confesses to you and you are only able to moan in response. "I want to fuck you, I need to feel that tight, juicy little pussy of yours around my cock, I want to feel it squeeze me as I cum, can you handle it?" He asks you, despite his need, he wants to make sure you're okay with it.
"Oh God, Norman..." Your pussy pulses wanting to feel him inside, despite your overstimulated and aching clit, your pussy moistens and clenches at his words. "Fuck me, Norman, please..."
"My beautiful, dirty girl." He whispers and kisses you more slowly this time, his hands tug at your sports bra, removing it at last, he licks and sucks your nipples making you hornier if possible and stares at you. "Turn around."
You drop to your knees on the couch, your hands gripping the backrest, you throw your hips back and raise your ass spreading your legs further apart. Norman watches right behind you, stroking his cock slowly, your open, shiny, wet pussy fully exposed for him, for a second he wants to kneel down and eat you again, but holds back when he sees you move your hips towards him, he smiles and places a hand on your ass, caressing your skin.
"Are you impatient, honey?"
"Norman, please..."
"I love hearing you beg." He gasps and guides his cock to your entrance.
Your insides receive him wet and warm, still with some spasm from your second orgasm forcing Norman to stop and curse under his breath, you exclaim excitedly, his size dilating your walls, rubbing against your sensitive insides.
"So tight..." You hear Norman mumble.
"Oh fuck...!" he slips out of you as he moves back and slips back in with a single thrust.
His hands clamp down hard on your hips, pulling you in, laying you down a little further on the couch, forming you to lift your ass further and stick your pussy to him, finding an almost impossible angle that makes every time he enters, your insides tremble and your vision blurs. Pleasure washes over you for the third time making you move to his same rhythm listening to him gasp and moan, enjoying it as much as you are.
"Oh my God, Norman, I'm going to cum again!" You assure him, surprised and overcome, he snorts in pleasure behind you and increases the speed of his hips.
"I'm close too, honey. Milk me, let me fill you with my cum." He groans and his lunges become increasingly erratic.
Norman cums as your walls tighten around him deliciously preventing him from being able to control himself any longer. He moans and grunts thrusting one last time inside you, wanting to go as deep as possible, his cum fills you and even overflows a thin trickle staining the couch despite still being glued together. You gasp trying to catch your breath, you can feel Norman also trying to control his ragged breathing, his hot breath hitting your back giving you goosebumps, his fingers loosen their grip on your waist caressing your skin now, waist, back, shoulders, you feel him give you some kisses too and you sigh. Norman finally pulls away from you, letting you settle on the couch, it bothers you a little to sit up and he seems to notice. He sits next to you, leaning your body against his, rocking you lovingly, one hand stroking your hair and another resting on the bare skin of your thigh. You wrap your arms around his waist and settle on his legs. You're nervous, you don't know what's going to happen now, what exactly this has all been about. You nervously bite your lip and open your mouth ready to speak, but Norman speaks first.
"Marry me." He says suddenly and you look at him ready to laugh at his crazy idea. "I'm not going to let anyone else touch you. You're mine and I'm yours." His gaze bores into you and his eyes are darkened. "Marry me."
Your laughter catches in your throat, he's serious, he's talking seriously, it's no a joke. Your heart then starts pounding at full speed.
"Yes..."
The End...
I hope you liked it!!
See you in the next stories!!

~@duckingwriting
Hey thanks for the ask.
I have a bunch of WIPs on the go at the moment, but the one I'm dying to talk about most right now is probably one I'm still outlining.
I've made no secret that my writing is based on an old D&D campaign and the WIP I'm outlining is based on events that took place in it. It's the one about the attempted assassination/kidnapping at the Plot Hook, during drinks to celebrate the genesis of what will later become known as the Special Recondite Unit (or SRU). I've been having a lot of thoughts about what Selene's thoughts were at the time, because in the actual session she was seemingly quite calm about the whole thing and really only started getting upset when she was essentially placed under house arrest for her own safety.
Having listened back to the recording though, I'm starting to realise that Selene was utterly terrified the whole time. It's not the first time there's been an attempt on her life; she made a lot of enemies that she wasn't allowed to track down and take care of once she became the Grand Magus of Toreguarde. However, the fact that they're not just after her, but Elowyn (her adopted niece) as well... That's not on.
There's also the little issue that due to having had a case of Burnout not that long ago in the timeline, Selene can still cast her most powerful spells, but that comes at the cost of causing herself quite a bit of pain while doing so right now (something I only recently decided would be a thing, so as far as the game canon goes, she just does a remarkable job of hiding it until she's alone).
So, picture this: you're an extremely powerful wizard who is terrified for her own life and that of the only family you currently have left (because almost everyone else either up and left and/or died, and your partner's not due back for another 2-3 days). You can't just fireball the assassins to death like you want to because that would probably destroy the pub and catch your niece and her friends in the blast as well, so you use a couple of utility spells to help instead. Besides, your niece and her friends are winning anyway, so no big deal. Unfortunately you have to cast a Dominate Person because the lead assassin is being an ass and not giving up despite losing. It takes, things calm down and you help to get all the bad guys down to the nearest police station using a Teleport spell. Casting at least two or three high level spells, which shouldn't be a huge deal considering how powerful a wizard you are, has left you feeling very tired, a little ill and with extremely sore fingers. You are doing your very best to not outwardly show any of this to avoid worrying anyone, especially your niece. Then you realise that said niece, who's life you probably saved with that Dominate spell, is pissed at you for using it. Then she has the gall to unilaterally decide that, for your own safety, you need to be confined to your office for an indeterminate amount of time with eyes on you at all times despite her also being included in the contracts the assassins had to kill you both... Well, one included your death and the Domination of your niece; presumably so the bad guys could use her to kill you if the assassins didn't manage it, which, frankly, is way worse, and probably gives you ptsd flashbacks to a very similar situation that happened a couple of years prior.
Given all of the above, I think Selene's a little entitled to lose her rag a bit. However, she manages to shove her anger, fear, pain etc way, way down and complies. But not before getting into Elowyn's face and outright dead-naming her while telling her the two of them will have 'a little chat' later. Then she Teleports out because Gods forbid she lets on about having issues casting by *le gasp* walking back to her office.
Needless to say, this is one of those WIPs that is at once going to be a tonne of fun to write, but so damn stressful at the same time. D&D; giving both players and the GMs trauma and strong feelings* about fictional arguments and scenarios for 60 years!
*Only if the GM and players get extremely invested in the world and characters, which we did.
