OKAY! So @lovepollution made a whole bunch of really excellent Midge/Lenny gifsets not too long ago, and told me to go ham on some fic based on them.
But they really did look like Midge was having the saddest Hanukkah ever.
So if you’re not ready for some angsty stuff, I’m sorry. But here’s some angsty stuff.
She’s not certain how things got so turned around.
Well, she knows, really, she just wishes things were different. 
Her relationship with Gordon imploded a year in, not that she had any business dating him, but it ended badly.
So badly, that as of now, she can’t find stage or television work in New York.
If she thought Sophie’s reach had been broad, she wasn’t prepared for Gordon’s. 
Midge has been nuked.
And so, she’d had choices to make.
She could have let her mother find her a husband, gone back to that life. Taken Joel back, gone back to that lie of a life.
She picks a third option: She leaves the kids with Joel and disappears to LA. She still can’t really find gigs, but there’s plenty of writing work. She doctors scripts for TV and films. She’s even helped out on a book or two.
It’s not what she wants, but it’s something.
And in the meantime, she goes to shows. Mort Sahl. Even Lenny, a few times, though she sits at the bar in the back, out of sight.
He looks good. Stable. And he’s so funny.
He has no interest in seeing her, she knows. He has a shiny new life out here. His daughter. His mother. A younger girlfriend.
Lenny has no use for Midge.
So she lets it be. She keeps her head down. Maybe Gordon will get over himself and end the blackball, but it’s possible she’ll never do stand-up again, despite the five full notebooks of material she’s generated in the last six months.
Hanukkah roles around, and she’s not going home. There’s too much writing to do, and from the last few times she’s spoken to her parents and Joel,  it’s evident that no one wants to see her. 
No one misses her.
Susie is still pissed, too, about Gordon. About how dumb Midge was. They still aren’t really speaking. 
Sometimes she gets a postcard from Noah, but that’s rare. 
She has made a couple of friends out here in LA, but Midge mostly keeps to herself, wary of hurting more people; ruining more relationships. 
So on the first night of Hanukkah, she makes herself some latkes and she takes comfort in the candlelight of the Menorah, and decides on an early night.
Or she means to, before there’s a knock on her apartment door. 
She frowns, no idea who it could be, and when she opens it, there stands Lenny, looking sheepishly with his hands shoved into his pockets. 
Midge takes a breath, her whole body tensing up, ready for what will likely be some sort of argument. “Lenny.” 
“Midge,” he responds, looking…
Worried. Mostly. 
“Got a minute?” he asks. 
She sighs softly, tugging her robe closer in, nodding reluctantly, letting him in.
She watches him look around at her small one bedroom apartment. It’s not much. It’s certainly not the Riverside Drive apartment, but it’s what she can afford, with most of her funds going back to New York to help pay for her parents and children to stay on the Upper West Side.
“I have some leftover latkes,” she offers hesitantly. “If you’re interested.” 
Lenny shrugs in a “sure why not” kind of way, and soon, they’re sitting at her little table, and he’s eating. Midge isn’t. 
She doesn’t feel like she’s been hungry in months.
“Rose called me,” Lenny tells her. His voice is soft, but conversational. “She’s worried about you.” 
Midge doesn’t respond. Her mother is not worried about her. Her mother has no interest in her life, since she’s not actively searching for a husband. 
“She was hoping you’d go home for Hanukkah,” Lenny goes on. 
“Why would I?” Midge asks quietly. “No one wants me there.” 
Lenny puts his fork down, narrowing his eyes at her. “Midge, this isn’t the first time you’ve been blackballed.” 
She takes a breath. “What are you doing here, Lenny?” .
“I told you-” 
“Why do you care?” Midge cuts him off. “You told me you wanted to be friends, and then you completely disappeared, until you heard I was dating Gordon. And then you yelled at me, and then disappeared again.” 
“I was still right,” he snaps, pointing a finger at her. “Don’t fuck your boss. Don’t shit where you eat.” 
“Thanks for the nugget of wisdom,” she snaps back. “Anything else to make me feel like crap about, while making yourself feel superior, or are you ready to leave?” 
He deflates a little. “Midge…” 
“I can’t work,” she tells him. “I can’t work anywhere. Not on television. Not in clubs. He completely burned me, so congratulations on being right. Again. I’m sure it feels great.” 
“Actually, I feel like shit about it,” he admits. “I felt like shit about it after I yelled at you, I just- you had made up your mind, and I…didn’t want to watch.” 
She stares at him, confused. 
“I didn’t want to watch you with him,” he explains. 
“You wanted to be friends.” 
“I did.” 
“And now you have a pretty young girlfriend,” Midge shrugs. “So you’re over it.” 
He stares at her seriously, silently. 
She shakes her head. “No. You don’t get to come here and try to save me, when you closed the door on us in the first place!” 
Lenny blows out a breath and leans forward. “I’m not here to save you. I’m worried about you. No matter what we have or haven’t been to each other, you’re still my friend, Midge, even if you don’t believe that. I don’t want you to be so miserable.” 
She closes her eyes and sighs. “I’m really okay, Lenny. I just- things are tough right now, but I’m okay.” 
He lifts an eyebrow at her. “Then why are you here instead of back east with your family for the holidays.” 
“Because no one wants me there!” Midge cries. “God knows Joel would rather I stay away. Susie still hates me. My only use to my parents and children is sending home a paycheck.” She looks him in the eyes. “No one. Wants me.” 
He gazes at her sadly, reaching out to rest a hand on top of hers. “It’s not true.” 
She pulls her hand away quickly. “You should go home.” 
“Midge-” 
“Go home, Lenny. You have a whole life. You don’t need me around to fuck it up.” 
“Is that what this is?” he asks, getting to his feet as she gets to hers to start clearing the food away. 
“What?” she scoffs. 
“You’re convinced you’ll destroy everyone around you, so you’ve gone into self-imposed exile?” he asks. 
She gives an exaggerated shoulder shrug. “Joel, you, Susie, Gordon, my parents, my children - all seem just fine without me - have always been just fine without me! Better, even! So yes, I stay away!” 
“They all miss you, Midge,” Lenny says softly. “I miss you, too.” 
“Go tell your girlfriend that,” she says, stacking the plates and carrying them into the kitchen. 
“It’s over,” he calls after her. “It ended months ago, because she wasn’t you. And she knew it, and I knew it, and…anyway. It’s over.” He slowly follows her into the small kitchen. “And even if it wasn’t over, I’d still be here, because I still care.” 
Her hands tremble as she starts washing the dishes, but she doesn’t reply. 
Lenny stands behind her, resting his hands on her elbows gently. “I got us two plane tickets back to New York,” he tells her quietly. “Leaves in a few hours. I’ve got a bag packed in my car out front, and we can pack a couple for you. We’ll be in New York by sunrise.” 
Midge remains quietly frozen, her eyes closing, letting herself enjoy how close he is for a moment. 
“Please come with me, Midge,” he says quietly. “Please let me help you fix this shit.” 
She lets out a strangled combination laugh-cry, and finds herself nodding in agreement.

The whole point of valentines day is to yell about how much you love someone (at least that’s how I see it) so that’s exactly what I intend to do! I haven’t had this blog for very long but already I’ve met so many incredible people who have all made this place a home for me! I spend a lot of (too much) time on the internet so honestly?? You guys are basically a huge chunk of my life and this is just my way of saying thank you. So here goes -- beware! Lots of messily written and emotional love notes under the cut!
In alphabetical order:
@1akorn​: TOP QUALITY TOP QUALITY EVERYWHERE!! Your blog is one of my all-time favourites and I love the fact that we watch a lot of the same shows! Your gifs are amazing and I also love reading through your text posts or your replies on your blog to see your opinions on things.

@akingyouniverse​: Hi hi hi! Okay so we’ve never talked but I think you’re fun and I love reading the tags on your posts (I also love seeing Trinity posts on your blog bc there isn’t much content of them around and it makes me so happy!!!!) Anyway yes hi I LOVE YOU hope you have a great day *throws roses through all your windows*
@bldramagalore​: Cindy!! Wow can’t believe that if we both weren’t so damn gay we’d already be married by now! Seriously thank you though, we talk most days and you’re always there when I want to talk to you (usually it’s just to scream about Mark or uwma but still!) Ngl I can’t really remember how we first became friends because it just feels like I’ve known you FOREVER and that’s so comfy and wholesome. My favourite part of my week is when we yell about shows together - even better when we watch them together ofc! - and I just KNOW that we’ll be friends for the longest time so knowing I’ll get to do that a lot in the future too makes me so happy. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU!!!! I’m so in love with you and your gorgeous face and beautiful hair and your stellar makeup skills *KISS KISS*

Jealousy
Tumblr media
Jung Hoseok x Fem!Reader
Summary: Hoseok is not happy after you spend most of the week ignoring him while at the new stop on their tour
Just a little something I couldn’t help writing after that unholy gifset popped up on my dash.
Warnings: jealous Hobi, fingering, unprotected sex, really just a bunch of smut with a little bit of fluff and humor
--------------------------------------------------
“It’s a full set tonight, so try not to over exert yourself.” You warned, swiping along the screen of your tablet, going over the details of the concert to make sure nothing gets missed. Feeling Hoseok’s stare on your figure leaning against the counter, you cleared your throat and ignored him, “And really look after Jimin tonight. I know he slipped on stage at the rehearsal and they were supposed to have scuffed his shoes to keep him from falling, but we still have to be careful.”
“Jimin said he was okay,” Namjoon tried to break the tension from his seat beside Hoseok’s, watching his friend roll his shoulders in irritation, “but I’ll make sure he stays away from that spot.”
“Thanks, Joon,” You smiled warmly at him and Hoseok’s nostrils flared at getting your cold shoulder only for you to be so chummy with his junior. “So the stage crew marked that spot just in case, but if for some reason one of you guys feel like it’s not enough, let me know so I can get with Brandon during the---.”
“And what exactly will Brandon do?” Hoseok snapped, the stylist ruffling his hair freezing in place and glancing at you. It wasn’t very often that he had a temper like tonight so everyone was surprised with his attitude. “You’re awfully friendly with someone you’ve barely known for a few days.”
“He’s part of the stage crew, Hoseok, he’s very important. And it is my job to make sure nothing goes wrong.” You rolled your eyes at his tone, having been with them for about 4 years now and knowing full well what a tantrum from him looks like. Not a full on fit, but passive aggressive comments that never affected you the way it did others because you learned how to handle them. “What exactly is your problem with Brandon anyways? He was the one who suggested using softer lighting for Jimin’s set and it helped. Frankly, I’m a little concerned with how ungrateful you’re acting because you don’t like him. It’s our last night here so the least you can do is act like an adult for the next few hours. Right?”
“Everyone out.” He growled, snagging your wrist in his hand and watching the makeup artists and stylists scramble for the door. He exchanged a glance with Namjoon in the mirror before his junior rose from his seat to leave the room, closing the door on his way out and taking time to lock it.
“Problem?” You asked with a raised brow and caught the tic in his jaw, his displeasure at your attitude evident in the way he pulled you onto his lap roughly. Your squeak of surprise as you sat perched on his lap made him chuckle and pink tinted your cheeks when your hands landed on his bare chest. Feeling his chest tense under your touch was foreign to you, having never been as close to him as you were now, his nose bumping against yours and making you shiver. 
You spent quite a lot of time with each member, helping them with wardrobe or their mics, but never pressing against them the way Hoseok held you in place now. The chains around his neck gleaming in the bright light bouncing off the vanity mirror in front of him. The hunger in his eyes never wavering made you duck your head to shy away from him, but he was having none of it. His large hand threaded the hair at the back of your neck and the other splayed between your shoulder blades, crushing your chest to his.
“I’ve been patient with you, Y/N,” Hoseok mumbled against your lips, not quite touching them but not leaving a lot of room to pull away either. “I’ve behaved myself every time you’re around, giggling and laughing with the other members, and when that stage crew member was drooling over you last week. I’ve been good about not letting my temper get the best of me when I actually wanted to rip his arms off for even trying to touch you.”
“Hosek,” You breathed his name as the memories of flirting with the rather attractive American crew member came flooding back. The boys had spent all day rehearsing and when they had five minutes to themselves, they were bombarded by their management team and the new intern Hyerin. 
She was a sweet girl and had developed a crush on Hoseok but like you, she chose to ignore it because it would cost your jobs if either of you were caught being intimate with a member. But the last few days, Hyerin didn’t seem to mind the thought of losing her internship as she had helped him wipe the sweat from his face and neck, sometimes lingering a little too long for your liking. 
You were embarrassed to admit your jealousy so you instead ignored Hoseok’s requests and needs in favor of Jimin, or Taehyung, until Brandon had struck up a conversation with you. Noticing the way Hoseok had attempted to get your attention, you simply gave Hyerin the task with the excuse that she won’t be an intern forever and would need to become used to running around like a chicken with her head cut off.
“You ignored me yesterday,” Hoseok sneered through clenched teeth and felt your fingers curl into fists against his chest, the grit of his voice sending a wave of arousal through your body and shooting straight to your core. Tilting his head playfully, he pressed his lips to yours gently, testing your resolve by toying with the zipper of your sundress and catching the way you clenched your thighs together. “That wasn’t very nice of you, baby.”
You whimpered as his hand came around from your back to gently pry your thighs open, his fingers massaging your skin. The heat radiating from his hand scorched your skin, your nails digging into his bare chest and he groaned before claiming your lips in a desperate kiss. If his hand went any further up your thigh, he’d no doubt come into contact with your damp panties and the thought had you wiggling around on his lap, grinding down on his crotch in order to get comfortable.
“Don’t tease me,” He gasped, dropping his head to your shoulder while his hands quickly came to rest on your hips. Despite his words, Hoseok had aided you in rocking back and forth on his lap, his cock straining against the zipper of his pants as he grew painfully hard. Feeling your fingers play with the zipper of his pants, his hips bucked under your touch, encouraging you to pop open the button and reach under the waistband of his boxers. He hissed against your mouth when you pulled him free, his cock slapping against his stomach, the tip red and pooling with pre-cum. 
Any other time you would have drooled at the sight, but you couldn’t stop yourself if you tried and wrapped your hand around his girth, stroking along his shaft slowly and gently. At the same time, Hoseok’s hand wandered high on your thigh, rubbing his fingers up your slit and you whined at the uncomfortable feeling of your panties sticking to you. Pulling back from his kisses, you concentrated on your hand bobbing up and down his cock, giving him the freedom to leave open-mouthed kisses along the column of your neck biting down in tandem with his fingers pushing past the fabric of your panties to sink his fingers knuckle deep in your pussy.
You gasped and arched your back, hand stilling in the process, head dropping back to allow him more access as he kissed and bit his way down to the tops of your breasts. A moan broke from you, echoing loudly around the room, your body tense with the sudden prodding of his long, veiny fingers. “Jesus, Hoseok. A little warning next time, huh?”
“Of course, baby,” He half promised, not really paying attention in his quest to wreck you in every way possible. Tugging on the straps of your dress, the top pooled down to expose your bra clad chest, he growled at the offending material and curled his fingers to reach that spot that you going crazy. “God, if I had more time, I’d ruin this.”
“This was expensive.” You narrowed your eyes at him, lingerie wasn’t abundant in your closet, but the few pieces you did own cost an arm and a leg. You remembered asking why the hell it was so expensive when you’d gone shopping with your sister and she had giggled at the scowl on your face.
“Yeah?” Hoseok tilted his head, his fingers working you up once again at the thought of you wearing it on a date with someone else. “Who’d you buy it for, Y/N? Something expensive like this surely wouldn’t be for no reason. Tell me, baby, who was lucky enough to see you in this, hm?”
He was teasing you. You knew that and still you couldn’t stop the words from tumbling out, “Kihyun. He asked me on a date before we left for the tour.”
He stood from the chair abruptly, spinning you around to face the mirror, his hand pushing down on your shoulder blades to flatten your chest against the counter and causing a pitiful whine to leave you. “Don’t test me, Y/N.” The tips of his fingers brushed against your sex, your knees buckling under the weight of his chest pressed to your back. Your hair had been pushed away from your neck so he could plant kisses against your skin, leaving pretty bruises behind.
“I’m sorry!” You gasped out at the feel of his long fingers pushing aside your panties once more and burying themselves in your sex, curling deliciously and making you squirm.
Hoseok’s deep chuckle vibrated against your back before he stood straight to flip the skirt of your dress up, his hand smoothing down the swell of your ass with a satisfied hum. “If I didn’t have to go on stage right now, Y/N, I’d punish you. Your skin would look so pretty all red from my hands.”
“Hobi, please,” You weren’t entirely sure what you were asking from him but he seemed to understand just fine, using his foot to spread your legs and grind himself against you while his fingers worked on bursting the familiar coil in the pit of your stomach. Your nails scratched against the marble of the makeup counter, your cunt clenching around his fingers at the feel of his cock running along your slit. 
“Was it fun flirting with that crew member, baby?” He teased the head of his cock against your entrance, withdrawing his fingers and running his tip along your wet folds, smirking at your desperate pleas. “What his name again? Brayden, Ben?”
“B-Brandon.” You provided, looking up to find his reflection staring back at you, a wicked glint in his eye as he buried himself to the hilt. A sharp gasp left you, the stretch of his cock burning as he bottomed out quickly and held your hips still against his until you could get used to him. Head falling forward to rest against the counter, you shifted from foot to foot, tears stinging your eyes at his girth. It had been far too long since you last had sex.
“Are you okay?” Hoseok leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to your temple, threading his fingers through yours against the countertop and waiting for your permission to move. He really should have prepped you more but the temptation of you; your voice and your smile, it all had him much too eager to have you. He was going to wait to ask you on a proper date once the tour was over but he’d snapped when he saw you carrying a comfortable conversation with the stage crew and knew he couldn’t wait any longer.
The stress of attempting to ask you out coupled with the anger of having been ignored by you showed in the way he’d stomped around stage during rehearsal, snapping at his fellow band members and even making Jimin cry from a ridiculous argument (that he later apologized for), he found himself slamming his hotel door with the request of being left alone for the night. On top of everything, he’d woken the next morning to find a text from Hyerin saying she’d be helping for the day because you would be far too busy with soundcheck. 
“Hobi,” Your small whisper broke him from his thoughts as you pushed back against his length, “please move.”
“Tell me if it’s too much.” Hoseok left another loving kiss to your temple before pulling out halfway and thrusting back in, creating a good pace and hearing the smack of his hips against yours, moans tumbling from your slack jaw. He hissed at your clenching walls, bracing one hand against the mirror and groaning at the sight of your reflection, having imagined on many many nights what you’d look like coming undone because of him. His hand and imagination hadn’t done enough justice in comparison to the real feel of you.
“You’re doing so good for me, baby,” He praised with a moan as he peppered the back of your neck with kisses, his bare chest sticky with sweat against your back but neither of you seemed to mind. “You feel so fucking good, Y/N.”
You panted at the way he sped up his thrusts, the tops of your thighs burning as they rubbed against the edge of the countertop with each buck of his hips and he seemed to sense this, pulling your back flush against his chest as he stood straight and took two small steps back to the chair he’d occupied earlier. “Fuck, Hobi!” 
“Shhh, baby, wouldn’t want your little pretty boy to hear you, hm?” Hoseok sat back, lifting you onto his lap and watching your jaw drop in ecstasy at his cock sinking deeper with the change in position. With your head dropping back to rest on his shoulder, he was free to watch your chest rise and fall heavily, staring at his marks painted across your skin. A sense of pride bloomed in his chest at the sight because everyone would know what happened in this room, Brandon included.
Rocking back and forth on Hoseok’s lap, your hand came to rest on top of his when he pushed down on your belly to pull you as close to him as possible. Your other hand curled around the armrest of the chair, your body hot with sweat beading across every surface of your skin, your eyes fluttered shut while your back arched when you felt his fingers rubbing messy circles against your clit. “Hobi,” You chanted his name like it was the only word you knew and he groaned in understanding, your walls clenching around his cock so tight that it was getting harder to move.
“Cum for me like a good girl, Y/N,” He breathed against your ear, his fingers stilling as the familiar heat in your belly burst and you cried out, orgasm washing over you in waves, chest heaving, and body falling limp against his in exhaustion. Helping you ride out your orgasm, he filled you with thick ropes of cum before he could stop himself and pull out. “Shit,” He mumbled as he nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck, mumbling his apology for not realizing sooner how close he was.
You didn’t say anything as you took the time to observe yourself and him in the mirror in front of you, running your hand through his sweaty and damp hair, almost giggling at the thought of the stylists scolding him for fucking up his hair. Hooking a finger underneath his chin, you pulled his face to yours for a proper kiss, finally feeling his soft lips against yours and coming to the obvious realization that no one would ever be able to do it for you again. Hoseok was it, everything you wanted and more, and sure you’d had feelings for him since you started working at Big Hit but you did your best to keep them at bay. You had zero idea he felt the same way and you could honestly say you didn’t give a damn about the rules now that you did.
The rules!
Reeling back from Hoseok’s kiss, you quickly scrambled off the chair to straighten yourself and smooth out your hair, frantically looking towards the door as two sharp knocks made you jump sky high.
“Hyung,” Namjoon’s deep voice carried through the heavy door clearly while you worked on tugging your dress back up, “we’re on in 10 minutes.”
“I’ll be right there.” Hoseok took his sweet ass time making himself presentable, as if 10 minutes was a shit ton of time when he still needed to get dressed.
“Oh shit,” You began to panic and pace around the room, ignoring the uncomfortable feeling of your arousal sticking to the insides of your thighs, “Oh shit, oh shit!”
“What?” He asked as he heard Namjoon’s footsteps moving further and further away from the room.
“What?!” You parroted and slapped at his shoulder roughly, “Do you know how much trouble I’m going to get in, Jung Hoseok?! There’s a reason Big Hit is adamant about not hiring single people, stupid! Oh, my god, I’m dead. Your managers are going to kill me and the rest of the members are going to be upset with me.”
“Whoa, whoa,” Hoseok gripped your shoulders to keep you from pacing about, cupping your face gently with a smile on his face. “Who said you’re going to get in trouble? The staff knows how I feel about you and so do the guys...I was waiting...to ask you out.”
“Oh, well,” You nodded in mock understanding and narrowed at eyes, “glad we at least got the formalities out of the way.”
Hoseok chuckled at your joke, sweeping his hand through his hair to push it back from his forehead where it stuck. “I’m sorry. It shouldn’t have happened this way but I like you, Y/N, a lot.”
“I like you too, Hoseok,” You sighed and shook your head, unable to tell if you were simply dreaming or if Jung Hoseok actually had feelings for you. Post sex haze was a strong thing, teaching you on many occassion that a guy will tell you just about anything to get in your pants again. “But this, us...what if it doesn’t work?”
“It’ll work,” He promised, taking your hand in his and squeezing it in assurance. “I can’t just go back to being friends. I want to at least try. Please?”
Chewing on your bottom lip, you searched his face for any sign of doubt, but Hoseok was a man of his word and if he didn’t think you stood a chance as a couple then he never would have said anything. “Okay,” You conceded with a nod, squealing as he beamed and picked you up by the waist to spin around in joy. “Hoseok! You’re going to drop me!”
“Hyung,” Jimin’s timid knock interrupted and you had to slap Hoseok’s chest to have him put you down. “Um we only have five minutes before we go on and the stylists said they need you.”
“Go,” You pushed at your now boyfriend’s naked chest, smiling at the shit eating grin on his face as he opened the door, Jimin, Jungkook, and Taehyuhng all falling flat on their faces. 
“Uh, hi hyung,” Taehyung laughed nervously at being caught with his ear to the door and was ready to fully blame Jungkook for betting that Hoseok was finally confessing his feelings. Both he and Jimin didn’t think it was true but the smile on Namjoon’s face when he came back down the hall proved otherwise. “So, how’d it go?”
“Out, you little brats.” You scolded and ushered them away from the doorway so Hoseok could leave and finish getting ready. “Yah, Jeon Jungkook, aren’t you in enough trouble? Have you even apologized for the prank you pulled on Jin yesterday? Go, all of you.”
The three maknaes sprinted down the hall before Hoseok could get his hands on them, all laughing and hollering with the goal of the entire city hearing their teasing. Your threats to murder them followed but they paid no attention and you couldn’t deny that they truly share one brain cell. 
“I’ll see you in a few minutes,” Hoseok wrapped his arms around your waist, kissing your cheek and nuzzling his face into your neck, a relieved sigh leaving him when you giggled at the tickling of his lips against your skin.
-------------------------------------
Later, you watched him run across the stage with more energy than you’d seen all week, his smile so wide that you couldn’t help the pride rising in your chest, giddy that you were the one to make him feel that way. You watched him dance with vigor, his body rolls and hip thrusts sinful as you blushed a deep shade of red and pulled on the collar of your shirt to hide the hickies he’d left behind. 
“I hate him,” You mumbled to yourself when you grew hot from all the people crowding around you, but you had to change out of your dress after Hoseok had wrinkled it up. Hoseok shot you a wink from his spot on stage and playfully tripped Taehyung, making the crowd go wild at their banter but really it was payback for spying on you earlier. You laughed along with their management team but your smile faltered when you caught Hyerin’s sad face, the longing for him recognizable to anyone. You felt bad, truly, because you knew she’d seen his marks all over your neck and put two and two together.
“Y/N!” Hoseok shouted as they all came rushing from the stage to change into new outfits, the excitement from the crowd making him buzz with his own. Rushing to lift you from the ground and spin you around until you were dizzy, he kissed you deeply, erasing all doubt and Hyerin from your mind. 
He didn’t know how she felt and Hyerin didn’t fault him for that, she only laughed along with the crew at his display of affection, pulling you aside after he left to tell you how cute she thought you two were. You apologized in return for how things turned out, but she waved her hand and wished you all the best, spending the rest of the concert at your side and asking questions that would prove helpful when her internship was over.

SHIP HISTORY MEME
Embrace your past and get to know your friends’s fandom origins!
Rules: Post gifs of your fandoms / ships starting with your most current hyperfixation and work backwards. (Bonus points if you share any stories about how or when you got into that ship! But not necessary!!) Then tag anyone whose fandom history you’d like to learn about!
Tagged by @betweenironyandsilver! 😁
(Not posting gifs bc I’m on mobile and can’t find any good ones. also this will be streamlined and half-remembered fandom history for me so 🤷‍♀️)
Daenerys and Sansa (A Song of Ice and Fire)
I’m gonna cull down my ASOIAF ship list to just a few since I get fixated on a new relationship like every month (honorable mentions: sansa/sandor, sansa/margaery, arya/gendry, theon/jeyne, many others because I’m an extreme multishipper) but dany/sansa has become like, THE ONE. I just want these two sweet girls to find happiness with each other! They’ve suffered so much and just want to go home, and I think they should find it together. I know they’re not gonna be the titular “fire and ice”, but they should be!
Fleabag/Priest (Fleabag)
All I can say is OOF!!!!
Finn/Rey/Poe(/Rose)
I can’t get into just Poe/Finn or Rey/Ben or Finn/Rose because I don’t want any of them to be separated! As much as I love The Last Jedi, it needed more trio interaction, and TRoS only kinda half-delivered on it. And Rose deserves better, and she and Rey should’ve bonded! Kylo Ben is kind of included in here, I just wish he had more interaction with Finn and Poe. I just want these lonely, dysfunctional, emotionally stunted man-children to find a family with each other!
Link and Zelda (Legend of Zelda)
I get very invested in any Zelda game, so naturally I’m very attached to them! I’ve loved them since I was a kid playing OoT and TP (partially because I had a crush on both of them, and also on every girl Link has vaguely romantic interactions with like Malon, Midna, Ilia, etc. where’s my Zelda dating sim). They’re SO CUTE in Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild makes me love them even more!
Roy/Riza (Fullmetal Alchemist)
I love it as much as Ed/Winry, Al/Mei, and Ling/Lan Fan, but I gotta say Royai because like, when will a ship go this hard. “Will you follow me?” “If that is what you wish, then even into hell.” The DRAMA! The HISTORY! The DEVOTION!
Stiles/Lydia (Teen Wolf)
I was such trash for this show, but can you blame me with them? Say what you will about “snarky, dorky comic relief best friend gets with popular girl”, but they managed to bypass the common tropes by actually having good chemistry and a lot in common! 14-year-old me started watching because of them! It wasn’t enough to make me finish it though. But apparently they were endgame, so good for them.
Korra/Mako (Legend of Korra)
That’s right, time for a little controversy. I was down to clown for these two before the show even started, and when it did start? Ooooh boy! I will still maintain the opinion that s1 of Korra is the best, but that’s a whole other conversation. Episode three is like, SUCH a good showcase of how these two work so well as a team, with Mako calm and collected and Korra fierce and bold. She helps him break out of his shell, he helps her reign in her impulsive tendencies! I know the romantic drama of s1 could’ve been written better, but I still think they work well together. They just needed to grow more as people. I do like Korra/Asami, but I don’t love how their relationship was handled; but that’s a bigger discussion about my beef with the last two seasons. Anyway, I’m still a huge Mako defender, and an even bigger Korra defender, and I am humble enough to admit that I was one of the many who were prepared to pop the biggest bottles. (I still follow the girl who made that post, avatarskorra. She’s funny and takes the whole thing really well).
Maka/Soul (Soul Eater)
I’m just a sucker for ships who don’t have an explicitly romantic relationship, but are such a good team and have a such a close bond that it seems like they’re undergoing a veeeeeery slow burn.
James/Lily (Harry Potter)
They were my first experience reading fanfiction! I loved looking at a lot of fanart and gifsets and other creations on tumblr, and I was just losing my mind over this relationship between two dead characters! Just. The DRAMA of it all. I mean, I liked the magic parts of Harry Potter, but I really wanted a seven-year-spanning slow burn teen drama about the marauders and their shenanigans. Also, I was into the other canon HP ships (yeah, I was and still kinda am a canon fucker), but what I really loved was luna/neville because they were my faves.
Aang/Katara, Zuko/Mai (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
The canon fuckery strikes again! ATLA was one of my first experiences with fandom, which is a terrible introduction because y’all were a bunch of feral children ready to throw hands at any moment (same goes for LoK). But the show itself delivered so many pure, joyful moments. Aang’s face when he first sees Katara? Katara’s devastation when Aang nearly gets killed by Azula, followed by her relief at managing to resurrect him? The Kataango? Don’t try and tell me this ain’t the cutest shit ever. And I will go to bat for my moody teens Zuko and Mai! “I don’t hate you.” is some romantic shit!
Chuck/Ned (Pushing Daisies)
I loved romance as a kid, but I was afraid of sex and marriage, so they were made for me. Everything about this show made me happy, and also I had a crush on both of them.
I tag @sctine, @anipokie, @the-ginger--mermaid, @borispavlikovskys @trxters, @altraviolence, and anyone else who wants to get in on it!

day seventeen: handfasting
*
inspired by this gorgeous gifset for @vlamito 😊💖
*
Maria didn’t know exactly what to expect when she and Jenna had gone to Alex’s cabin in the middle of the night and asked him to marry them.
Jenna had asked Maria to marry her, and Maria had told her that she didn’t want to wait any longer. Their lives were so unpredictable, so dangerous, that Maria didn’t want to waste another second not being married when it was something that they both wanted.
After making sure that they were sure about this and that it was something they both wanted, Alex had made some phone calls, and even though it was nearing three in the morning, Isobel had gotten to the cabin not even half an hour after Alex had called her.
She had brought a bunch of party decorations left over from previous events and several dresses in their dry cleaning bags.
Liz had appeared next with Max and her dad and a trunk full of food and a bag full of shoes. Rosa had driven in with Kyle carrying a makeup bag.
While Liz had locked herself in the bathroom with Jenna to help her get ready, Maria and Rosa had taken over Alex’s bedroom.
“You’re so quiet,” Rosa says after a few minutes pass without Maria saying anything as Rosa starts to pin her hair up into an elegant bun.
Maria just exhales softly and looks at Rosa’s reflection in the mirror. “I’m just thinking.”
“Getting cold feet already?” Rosa says, leaning in close and giving her a conspiratorial smirk. “We can totally sneak out through the window.”
Maria just smiles and shakes her head. “No, just wondering how my life got to this point. I swear a year ago I was convinced that I was going to spend the rest of my life alone, and now-”
“You’re getting married, in the middle of the night, in your best friend’s backyard, because you can’t wait a few more days to plan it out properly,” Rosa says in a mocking tone as she goes back to fixing Maria’s hair.
“We could all be dead tomorrow,” Maria points out, and Rosa nods her head in agreement. “And what is the point of having a friend who can marry you if you’re not going to take advantage of it?”
Rosa just shakes her head and smiles at her. “C’est la vie, and all that.”
Maria just smiles back at her and wonders how Jenna is fairing with Liz.
By the time she makes it outside, it’s been two hours since she and Jenna knocked on Alex’s door, and the only person who still hasn’t appeared is Michael.
Maria frowns at that momentarily, but then Rosa leads her towards the back and she forgets all about it.
Isobel had put everyone else to work, and the result was something that made Maria feel like she was stepping into a fairy tale.
The space was lit with fairy lights strung in arches between the trees and the roof of the balcony, candles on the floor carving a path in the center of the space towards two big trees with an archway between covered in white flowers and garlands and silver mesh bows and more fairy lights,  hanging down like icicles. There was a table with a book and a braided cord right on top of it.
Maria takes a step closer, and she can just make out everyone else setting up small tables with food and more candles. She's about to step off the porch when someone clears their throat and she turns around and has to raise her hand to her mouth to stop herself from gasping too loud.
"Mom?" She says, and her mom steps away from where Michael had been leading her up the steps with a hand on her back and she walks towards Maria, holding her hands up.
Maria lets her hands fall as her mom cups her face, and just stares at her with so much love and so much happiness shining out of her eyes that it makes Maria want to cry.
"It's a good thing I used waterproof mascara," she hears Rosa tell Michael.
"I am so happy that you're here," Maria tells her mom.
Her mom just smiles and says. "I wouldn't have missed this for anything."
Maria laughs, and it comes out like a sob, and she pushes forward and wraps her mom up in a hug.
She looks over her shoulder where Rosa and Michael are watching them, and she mouths, Thank you.
Michael just tips his hat at her and then offers Rosa his arm and she hooks her hand into the crook of his elbow, rolling her eyes a little, and lets him lead her over to where everyone is gathering.
Maria pulls back and her mom raises her hands again to cup her face.
Maria inhales deeply, “Will you walk me down the aisle?”
Her mom just smiles and pats her cheeks, “Of course.”
Maria exhales carefully, and then turns back towards the altar they set up, and her breath catches in her chest.
Jenna is standing right underneath the arch, smiling brightly as she stares at back at her.
She almost looks like an angel standing there in a off the shoulder long white dress with lace trimming. Her hair is falling to her shoulders in waves and looks silver white in the light. Her bangs pinned back by a silver diadem shaped like vines, matching the silver flower hair combs that are holding Maria’s bun in place.
She hears someone strumming a guitar, and then Isobel is standing in front of her, smiling bright and proud, holding a bouquet of white roses in her hands.
She hands them over to Maria, and Maria opens her mouth to thank her, but Isobel waves her hand in the air.
“Just know that you owe me and I will come to collect.”
Maria’s smile just gets bigger and she reaches forward and hugs Isobel tightly.
Isobel pats her back and then lets her go.
Isobel moves back to where Max, Liz and Arturo are standing right next to Rosa who has designated herself as the maid of honor and is standing right by Jenna and Alex. Kyle is standing on Jenna’s side and he’s holding his phone out, either recording or he has Charlie on the line watching everything. 
Maria takes a deep breath and turns to her mom. Her mom comes up right next to her, and hooks their arms together. 
“You ready?” she asks her.
Maria exhales all at once and turns back towards where Jenna is waiting. “I love her,” she says in a breathless voice.
Her mom squeezes their arms together and then nods her head and the sounds of the guitar playing the wedding march fills the air.
Maria and her mom step forward as one.
Maria feels her heart racing in her chest, but the closer that she gets to Jenna, the calmer that she begins to feel.
Jenna’s smile is so happy, and there are tears in her eyes, and when Maria and her mom stop in front of her, Maria can tell that she’s itching to reach out for her.
Maria turns to her mom again, who just presses a kiss to her cheek and then lets her go, pushing her towards Jenna with a smile as she moves to Rosa’s side.
Maria reaches for Jenna, and Jenna immediately links their fingers together, pulling her in close as she looks her up and down and then bites down on her lip to keep her smile from spreading too much.
Maria squeezes their hands together feeling like she’s bursting with happiness.
The guitar stops playing, and Alex clears his throat a little, and both Jenna and Maria turn to him.
He smiles at them both and then grabs the braided cord from the table.
He steps towards them, and Maria lets go of Jenna’s hand, so that they can clasp left hands.
Alex moves closer, and wraps the cord around their joined hands, and as he starts to knot it he begins to speak.
“As this knot is tied, so are your lives now bound,” he says and Maria turns to Jenna, who turns to look at her at the same time. “Woven into this cord, imbued into its very fibers, are all the hopes of your friends and family, and of yourselves, for your new life together.”
He puts his hand on top of theirs as he finishes tying the knot, “With the fashioning of this knot do I tie all the desires, dreams, love, and happiness wished here in this place to your lives for as long as your love shall last.”
“May this cord draw your hands together in love, never to be used in anger. May the vows you have spoken never grow bitter in your mouths. May it be granted that what is done before the gods be not undone by man. Two entwined in love, bound by commitment and fear, sadness and joy, by hardship and victory, anger and reconciliation, all of which brings strength to this union. Hold tight to one another through both good times and bad, and watch as your strength grows.”
He takes a step back then, letting go of their hands and continues, “If you have any vows, they should be said now.”
Jenna squeezes her hand and starts to speak. “Maria Angela DeLuca, there is no one else I would rather spend the rest of my life with, and no matter what happens, I need you to know that I will always be right there to face it with you. Your problems will be my problems and your joy will be my joy, and I promise to love you now and forever.”
Maria blinks back the tears and laughs a little when Jenna raises her hand to wipe at the tear that manages to fall down her cheek.
“God, Jenna, I never expected you to come into my life and shake everything up, but you are one of the most important people in my life, and I can’t imagine my life with having you in it. I love you, and I will love you for the rest of my life, and I promise to always be here for whatever you need, and to stand by your side through all of the good and especially all of the bad, in sickness and in health as long as we both shall live.”
Jenna’s smile could outshine the sun, and she tugs Maria in closer with their joined hands, and Maria wraps an arm around her waist as Jenna drops her forehead against Maria’s.
“By the power vested in me by the state of New Mexico,” Alex speaks up, reminding Maria that they were still in the middle of the ceremony. “I now pronounce you, wife and wife. You may kiss the bride, now.”
Maria and Jenna lean in at the same time and as their lips meet in a soft kiss, more like their smiles pressing together than actual kiss, Maria thinks that no matter what happens next, she’ll be able to handle it with Jenna at her side.

Finn and Rey for the character meme?
*cracks knuckles* OK, let’s do this!
FINN
Why I like them:
Because the First Order did everything it could to wipe out his personality and make him a Good Soldier who Follows Orders, but despite years of indoctrination they still couldn’t break him. At his most basic levels he’s still a good person.
Why I don’t: 
In my opinion The Last Jedi undid a lot of his development and also turned him into a bit of a joke. I like laughing with him, not at him. Sure, maybe his primary concern is still going to be about Rey, but I don’t think he’d go the route they made him go and his whole “arc” (if you can even call it that) was lackluster and disappointing.
Favorite scene:
I reblogged a gifset of it earlier: the scene where he’s faced with firing on a bunch of terrified, unarmed civilians… and chooses not to shoot. It’s a pivotal moment, not only for Finn, but for us as an audience: we see that stormtroopers don’t have to be the bad guys and that under those helmets they’re still people.
Favorite movie:
In my opinion The Force Awakens is the only real choice. We see Finn at his best: choosing to be an individual instead of a cog, trying to find his way in the universe, and making difficult and terrifying choices based on what his heart tells him to do. We see him ready to run away but then choose to stay and fight for Rey. We see him pick up a lightsaber and face off against a more powerful and better trained opponent. We get silly moments and serious ones and ones of pure joy.
Favorite line:
He has some good, meaty dialogue, but honestly I love his outraged offense any time Jakku is mentioned. 
Favorite outfit:
Poe’s jacket. I own that jacket (or at least a screen-accurate reproduction) because of him. And Poe.
OTP:
I don’t really have ONE True Pairing for him. I love him with Rey and I love him with Poe and I would also love if they could all find a way to share their affection rather than turning it into a stupid love triangle.
Brotp: 
Even if he and Poe don’t wind up together romantically they have damn great chemistry together and could rock the shit out of a platonic relationship. And similarly, he has great chemistry with Rey, so even if they aren’t destined to be a romantic couple, they’re still hella great together. Although if he’s just bros with Poe AND Rey and winds up with Rose, I’m going to do a lot of swearing because, no. That shit’s toxic. 
Headcanon:
He’s Force sensitive. I don’t care what the movies will have to say about it, the dude has a connection to the Force and the Force loves him. If you’re looking for something less obvious/common: he gets easily overwhelmed by flavors at first but loves trying new things, especially knowing that he’d never have been allowed to experience them in the First Order.
Unpopular opinion:
I don’t know what counts as unpopular for Finn. I don’t think he’s a virgin, but I don’t think he’s participated in nightly trooper orgies, either. I think he may be sheltered and the info he’s been given is very skewed, but that doesn’t mean he’s stupid. If he ever gets some downtime I can see him trying to soak up information like a sponge so he can fill in the blanks and correct his misconceptions. I also refuse to believe that he’s a coward. He risked everything to escape the First Order and then risked everything to go back and save Rey. He also has no problem shooting his former troopmates. I think he likes being a soldier as long as he knows he’s fighting for a good cause.
A wish: 
I wish they’d let him grow. I wish they’d let him settle into his own skin and take command instead of showing him always trying to run away. I wish he could be a badass leader of the Resistance instead of the comic relief and the guy who only cares about his friends.
An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: 
If he has to die don’t let it be a pointless death. Let it serve a purpose beyond causing angst for Rey and/or Poe or to prove how bad the bad guys are. Don’t let him run away again and claim this isn’t his fight. Don’t prove the haters right.
5 words to best describe them:
Brave. Sweet. Honorable. Kind. Righteous.
My nickname for them:
I don’t really have one for him beyond maybe “Cutie” but I tend to call everyone that.
I’ll put Rey behind a cut to keep the post from getting too long. 
REY
Why I like them: 
She’s earnest and righteous. As with Finn, she overcame her upbringing. She could have turned her into a selfish, backstabbing thief and liar, but while she does what she has to in order to survive, she also has her own set of morals and lines she won’t cross. She sure as hell didn’t learn that from Unkar Plutt. I love her intensity, too, and her no-nonsense approach to everything.
Why I don’t: 
I’m really not a fan of her being willing to give Kyle another chance. It makes me uncomfortable. She watched him murder Han Solo. Even if you make the excuse of her not knowing Han was his father, it was still a cold-blooded move. She also knows that he murdered children whose only fault was being in the wrong place at the wrong time and saying “no” to joining a murderous rampage. His past in no way justifies his actions and while I know she has a lot of compassion for people in this case I think it’s misplaced and out of character for her.
Favorite scene: 
When she calls the lightsaber to her and thrashes Kyle for hurting Finn, for hurting her, and for killing Han. You can see the moment when things click into place and the fight starts going her way. Also the fight choreographer knew what they were doing and was allowed to do it, unlike another epic fight scene in the sequel. Another good scene is that moment when she realizes that Finn came back for her. There’s a lot of emotion conveyed in just a few words and expressions.
Favorite movie: 
It has to be The Force Awakens. We get to watch her go from a closed-off loner type to someone who realizes that while she can fight her own fights she also has people who will fight for her.
Favorite line: 
Again, she has some important lines, but I like “I didn’t know there was this much green in the whole galaxy.” It really drives home her upbringing and how awed she can be by things most people take for granted.
Favorite outfit: 
It’s a tossup between the one she wears on Ahch To and the bit on Starkiller where she’s wearing The Jacket. I really love clothes sharing. So much fun.
OTP: 
Rey and Finn all the way. Although I’m also totally down for Rey and Jess or Kaydel or some combination of the above. Or even Rey being ace and uninterested in anything beyond platonic friendships.
Brotp: 
Rey and Finn, Rey and Poe, Rey and BB-8.
Headcanon: 
She turns her staff into a double-ended saber, kinda like Maul’s. And the blades are yellow.
Unpopular opinion: 
If Rian got ONE thing right it was having Rey’s parents be nobodies. I know Star Wars has traditionally been about the Skywalkers, but I think it’s time to move past that and branch out. Especially since the Skywalker Family Saga has been one filled with nothing but misery, betrayal, heartbreak, and death. Maybe Rey can start a brand new line that isn’t so mired in constant suffering.
A wish: 
I wish she could find that happy medium between Dark and Light- the kind of path the Jedi could have taken if they weren’t so full of themselves and their puritanical ideals. Teach the next generation that they can love and be passionate and that getting angry sometimes is normal and as long as you deal with it in healthy ways then it doesn’t make you irredeemably evil.
An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: 
Don’t let JJ retcon her heritage so that she IS related to someone important. And please, for the everlasting love of fluffy tookas don’t let her wind up with Kyle. Don’t let her go darkside, even if she comes back from it. Just. Fucking. DON’T.
5 words to best describe them: 
Passionate. Determined. Methodical. Hopeful. Intelligent.
My nickname for them: 
I don’t really have one, except maybe “Badass.”

Bering and Wells prompt: “She was a rose in the hands of a blind man who could only feel her thorns.” If you wouldn't mind.
Hi anon, thank you for the prompt ♥ You can see this as another take at Instinct, but it’s still not a happy one alas ... Also, go check this amazing gifset @pagets made, it inspired me a lot X
The smile on Helena’s face is strained and doesn’t reach her eyes, Myka notices absentmindedly.There is a man, playing in the garden with a young girl while Helena is restlessly pacing the living-room. Everything is beige around them, the fabric of the couches, the rug under the clear pinewood coffee table and the walls even, are of a cleared shade of creme.Nothing stands out and everything looks in order, in this house located at the very end of a residential area so conformist it makes Myka’s skin crawl.“I only called you to inform you of a curiosity,” Helena states and her voice, rich with those British accents Myka had missed so much, is clipped and a little caustic. She looks annoyed and the corners of her mouths are turned downward, there is no sparkle of humor or interest in her eyes. “Not for you to barge into this house with your badge and your glorified golden retriever.”Myka doesn’t have to look to feel the heat in Pete’s glare. He stays silent though and Myka is grateful for it.“You know how it works, Helena. Emily. Whatever your name is lately,” Myka answers, struggling to stay professional at the very least. “We need to ask a few questions and you’re our first lead.”“Fine. Fine,” Helena relents but she’s clearly unhappy and she shoots an exasperated glare to Pete when he almost knocks out a statuette from its rightful place. “I urge you to be quick however, I have to take Adelaide to her Kenpo class in fifteen minutes.”Myka stays silent but her mind is reeling with everything she is helplessly witnessing.H.G Wells, living the life of a banal soccer mom in some random town in Wisconsin, with the house, the man and the kid to go with it. Years ago, she would have laughed at the very idea of someone as adventurous as Helena beginning to even think to settle and yet, here she was.“I’m surprised you don’t have an actual golden retriever or a faithful border collie to go with this idyllic painting,” Myka quietly says and she juts her chin towards the window, where she can see Nate and Adelaide, since it is their names, are playing together. Pete snickers behind her but she only stares at how Helena softly smiles when her eyes fall upon the two people that are now her new family.“We talked about it actually.”Myka grits her teeth but shows nothing of the hurt she felt. Instead, she tilts her head to the side and wonders out loud “So, does he know who you truly are? Does he understand you?”Like I do, Myka doesn’t say. The words are heavy on her tongue but she keeps them to herself because it is not her place to say. Not anymore at least, because she still remembers.She remembers a scene in the wood when Pete was about to destroy the better part of H.G Wells, the one stuck in the Janus coin. She remembers the deep and soulful brown eyes that had been full with something she didn’t dare put a name on, at the time.She can still hear the accent of that sulky, British voice asking how could one say goodbye to the person who knew them better than anyone else.“I can’t very well tell him, I’m H.G. Wells.”The smile is as insincere as it could be, floating across sad lips like the pathetic ghost of an old memory, and the tone is clipped again but there is a longing beneath the low accents and the flowing vowels.It’s subtle but Myka is attuned to Helena in a way she can’t begin to comprehend and she isn’t sure she wants to. She doesn’t know what to make of the strange edge in Helena’s voice and so she chooses to ignore it.“Does he make you happy?” She asks and it burns her throat to ask, the words are rasping against her tongue as if they didn’t want to be set free.“Yes,” comes the simple answer and Myka sighs.It comes from the abysses of her broken soul, that sound, loaded with shattered hopes and painful resignation. It hangs in the air like a statement and then it’s gone.Helena is watching Nate and Adelaide again and Myka stands up.Pete is looking at her, concern etched all over his usually goofy features and she manages a soft smile, trying as best as she could to reassure him. It doesn’t work, she can see he is upset in the way he frowns but she shakes her head and he lets it slide. For now.They are outside now and Helena goes to put an arm around the young girl’s shoulders while Nate is leaning in to kiss her.Myka looks down and her eyes fall upon a bunch of roses, bordering the parking alley.The garden is like the house, perfectly well maintained, the flowers all around are bright and fully blossomed, the grass is as green as it can be and even the trees look perfectly aligned with the general layout.It’s sickening and Myka stares at the thorns that climb along the roses stems.She used to hate roses, the cliché lines and the utterly boring comparisons all the authors and wanna be poets would make about that all too ordinary flower. She used to hate the smell of roses, too faint and yet too intoxicating to be ignored, the bright but bland colors, everything about roses made her cringe.Until she met Helena, who in a way, was like the rarest of them all.The black rose, so unnatural and incredibly precious it had become some kind of a monster amongst the specialists. Helena, with the weight of her years and the power of her ancient knowledge, her glossy dark hair and soulful brown eyes, her flirtatious smile and her perfectly arched brows, was something of an anomaly in Myka’s world, a rarity and even a curiosity, one might say.She was clever, cunning, uncompromising, complex, unique and yet she had flaws, so many of them, scattered like thorns along her strange and hard to get personality.Helena was a black rose to Myka and she had hated it for a long time.Today, the perfectly tailored roses are a blunt and prickly reminder of why she didn’t like the flowers in the first place.When she looks up, Nate is pulling away and Helena is already walking towards the street with Adelaide, to take her to her Kenpo class. Their move easily together but somehow, Myka can see the cracks, the flaws in that relationship that shouldn’t even exist.Myka stares at Nate and she sees a man who has no idea of how rare the woman he lives with is.He calls her Emily and he probably thinks she is just a forensic working for the police, a woman with a past he doesn’t know about and a good mother for his daughter. He doesn’t know, the endless wonders Helena’s heart and mind harbor. He is blind to it.“Are you okay Mykes?” Pete softly asks next to her and she sighs again.“No, but I will be, eventually,” She answers and he nods but she can tell he doesn’t believe her.She isn’t sure she does either.

I never look in the tag because fandom is a trash fire but a few people I follow are yelling so bits and bobs are trickling through and I am old, tired and disappointed with things about the show right now so not as fighty as usual but how about instead of bickering like kids about the morality of a character in a historical based show about fucking PIRATES where no-one is coloured good or bad, just as a living person who makes decisions...HOW ABOUT...wild and out of the BLUE option but how about there is a discussion about the incredibly poor taste actions of shippers which links in part to the fucking RAMPANT BIPHOBIA.
It’s just a TV show so I shouldn’t bother but attitudes are so fucked and so many people who engage in this behaviour act as if they don’t do it, singing a song of how wonderful it is to have a show with multiple queer relationships and polyamory then go completely out of the way to disregard any of them to instead fawn and make a fetish  of a made up relationship based purely on the tumblr obsession of putting two handsome male characters together. (True, the relationship of the bisexual man with another man gets attention, I’ve lost count of how many times I have read him mislabelled as gay and what a surprise the female he had a relationship with at the same time is rarely mentioned as the fact he loved and had sexual relationships with both men and women doesn’t tie in with the rose tinted fetishising of homosexuality tumblr likes to apply)
The problem I have every week is although the show isn’t a massive hit (thank you terrible marketing at starz) , it has managed to form a following since I started watched it back in Jan ‘14 and with that following comes the bullshit.  Fully grown adults act online like a bunch of entitled 13 year olds and make up shit only they see, deem it TRUTH then lose their minds when none of it plays out on screen then incredibly still somehow have an actual belief their shipping is the truth. If you argue against it, out comes that old chestnut of ‘you are homophobic’. Well guess what mate, having an issue with this bizarre obsession is a lot less troublesome than your reactions and treatments of queer people. CAN’T FORGET THAT HEALTHY DOSAGE OF BIPHOBIA OF COURSE!
It’s impossible to escape and there’s nothing that can suck the joy out of a show quicker than people concentrating so much on a shipping aspect, especially one that isn’t ever going to happen and never was. I mean some of the stuff these people ‘pick up on’ to show romantic feelings is ludicrous. You could literally apply the ‘evidence’ shippers come up with to a courgette and a beagle and then say ‘oh, they are in love!!’
If you’re going to argue then why not make it about something that actually matters? Like...THE BIPHOBIA. HOW ABOUT THE BIPHOBIA?
The acting, the sets and storylines, the fight scenes and god knows what else. There is so much to appreciate with this show but it’s so rarely what I see talked about.
Maybe try watching the show without clutching your pearls at the fact a handsome man made eye contact with another handsome man then writing an essay about it to leave up some free room for some pretty gifsets or a wonderful drawing of some pirate violence?
Three episodes left and I hope they are really good ones as I have lost some of that passion I used to have but the show hasn’t disappointed me anywhere near as much as the fandom does and continues to do so.
