#and my dog tripped and my brother blamed me
Text
Ayesha Liveblogs Spy x Family S2
Awww, I like that Bond Forger the Dog also gets an intro about HIS secret identity. Equal opportunity deceit
Are we finally going to learn who exacty Yor is fighting? I would like to know!
Been there Anya, I also had little patience for watching the news as as a kid. Though, it seems more important in a pre-internet era
"Okay, you can change the channel." Loid Forger, International Spy, defeated by one (1) sad look from his little daughter
"I absolutely cannot tell him that I got shot in the butt while fighting a group of armed men." 10/10 episode plot, I cannot wait
"I've been relying on her too much without realizing it, and it's upset her. Yes, that must be it! I must do everything in my power to remedy this at once!" Loid immediately blaming Yor's mood on himself and deciding he has to be respond by being a better husband!!! I will keep saying it. He is THE Husband. World's Most Husband
"Why don't we go on a date?" HEE HEE
Tumblr media
Puzzling that Yor thinks she hasn't been on a date though, when I can think of at least three dates so far (party-grenade-proposal date, lunch date, and drinks-and-reassurance date)
"I can't leave Anya alone at home, and this is a very important mission to ensure that we remain one happy family." It seems Loid has learned from the spy transmission debacle
"Last night, I came up with 862 date plans to ensure that Yor has fun." He's insane. I want to give him a leetle kiss
HAHAHAHA Franky being absolutely thrilled to bother Loid and Yor on their date. What a friendship 💕
Intriguing that Anya's telepathy has a distance limit. Tell me more!
Honestly, Yor having to position herself in a specific way to avoid pain is relatable. We love a chronic pain queen
"This woman had built up an immunity to poisons." HAHAHAHAHA the poison fixing Yor's pain. Sometimes, drinking does solve your problems!
LMAOOOO them censoring the bomb components. A real "don't try this at home" moment
NOT THE BABY MAKING THE BOMB. ANYA PLEASE
"I'm going to forget all this and live a normal life." Perfect. Forgers reforming their enemies left and right
"If it's not too much trouble, please invite me out again sometime." Never let being married stand in the way of your husband becoming your boyfriend 🥰
SCREAM at Bond's perception of what Loid does for work. I guess he's closer to the truth than most:
Tumblr media
"Are you trying to do this for your... no. Are you trying to get revenge for your friends who were experimented on?" HAHAHA is Loid blushing because he wants to call himself his dog's dad?
FBKFJHFFHKJHF Loid taking on Bond as his mission back-up. He truly can be swayed so easily
WHERE DID LOID GET A DOG-SIZED SKI MASK AHHAHAHA
I love the giant puppy spy sidekick, employ this dog ASAP
"While they're busy playing, I'm going to work hard to get to the top," said Damian Desmond, Six Years Old, for whom The Top was beating all the other little bougie first graders
"Your friendship... preciously elegant." Me whenever I finish hanging out with my friends
I love that Henderson-sensei sends the kids out on a picnic as a punishment. He really is as silly as he is strict
I don't know if this is a vegetarian thing or a cultural thing but it always seems wild to me how people in anime bite into fish, scales and all
"Did you know that the most recent studies in neuroscience suggest that your brain feels really revitalized when you're spacing out?" I like Mr. Green, Grizzled Navy Custodian, too
HAHA Damian trying his hardest to space out. Me when people tell me to practice mindfulness
"Oh, you don't [have a goal], eh? That's perfectly fine!" "Actually, I want to live my life eating lots of snacks." "Splendid! You'll have to think earnestly about how to make that possible." I take it back, I LOVE MR. GREEN
Ready to sob about this field trip actually. AHHHHHHH:
Tumblr media
"Good evening, Mr. Vile Trash." ACAB; All Cops are (Weird) Brothers
"What's so wrong about trying to improve the country my family lives in?" Nothing but the hostile, paternalistic nationalism of a Cold War, Frank Perkin, Newspaper Sensationalist and Adult Bully of Wealthy Children
"I'll request that your father gets some financial aid to get by." I feel like that will not make up for imprisoning his son, Yuri, but whatever helps you sleep
"Blech." That's also how I feel about Weird Brother Yuri, Anya
"Revenge will only make you sadder. I'll make you forget about all that with my love." This is the plot of Naruto
Honestly, I was super sold on the Bondman Polycule when it was just him, his spy partner Agent M, and the enemy spy lady who had all linked arms together. I feel like this could work:
Tumblr media
"How was anything he did gentlemanly?" Loid said: I'm a one-woman kind of spy
"Lord Damian, how could you possibly pick the joker there." "Shut up!' [Internally] She's so unfair... Damn it! I like to believe Loid might approve of Damian's crush purely because he is also willing to do whatever Anya wants if she makes one (1) sad face
Poor Anya. She's really most suited to using her street smarts
"Garden? The group of assassins who have been in this country for ages? They're basically urban legends, aren't they?" FINALLY we're finding out more about Yor's job!! They do in fact seem at cross purposes with the spies
[Loid already walking away] "He's such a heartless jerk." I bet you $5 he has already decided to help Franky LMAO
Update from 8 min later: Alright, I owe you $5, he didn't care
"Am I normal?! Oh, thank goodness!" said Yor excitedly, as if that were not a moderately suspicious response to being called normal
Excited for an ep with no double-barreled title. Plot progression!
I truly don't know where this falls on the spectrum of ways that anime will depict black and brown characters LMAO. Like Donovan Desmond, the Shopkeeper has an extremely haunting aura:
Tumblr media
"You will be providing protection on this mission." Oooooh, change of pace!
"Is there actually any reason why I should continue my job as a killer?" A question every assassin should ask themselves, I think
"HQ may or may not be trying to cut back on our shady overtime practices." Incredible. I can't believe even the underground spy agency has PTO. I wonder who regulates spy labour law
"If not for this bodyguard job, the three of us could've enjoyed this vacation together." AWWW Yor loves her family so much
"You can say this is a gangster's destiny." [Reba voice] A single mom who works too hard, who loves her kid never stops!
"Papa! We need to hurry up and explore the ship before it sinks!" "It's not going to sink! Stop scaring everyone." The fact the staircase looks distinctly modelled after that one scene from Titanic really sells Anya's point
Loid incapable of framing having fun as anything but a mission ljggkjgj truly he might benefit from a Real Psychologist
"That family's just for camoflauge, right?" "Yes, you're right... Is... that true?" I love Yor slowly admitting that she loves her family for their own sake 💗
As Yor was declaring doing her best, I did worry briefly that someone was going to [redact] Olka. Other anime have been less kind to me than Spy x Family
I love Yor making another mum friend in Olka 💞 Gal pals
Finally saying suspicious things in public has a consequence!!
Tumblr media
"It's been a while since we've had dinner without Mama." "Yeah, it's a bit lonely." Hee hee, Loid misses his wife
I love the immediate transformation in Yor's face as soon as Olka/Shaty says she didn't order room service
I don't have much to say but I am really entranced by the assassin vs. assassin + informant goings on!!
"I may not look it, but I'm a married woman, so I'll have to decline." Absolutely loving Yor quietly and efficiently beating these hitmen unconscious as she passes through the cruise ship
Tumblr media
"Which is it?! Would normal parents buy their child something in this situation or not?!" Loid is incapable of making a decision without thinking about how it looks in relation to him being a spy. Anxiety king
[In Anya's mind] "Yor! You're an assasin who hates frogs? Let's get a divorce. The Forgers are done." Like father, like anxiety-ridden daughter
"I am a normal father. A good father," said Loid, which is frankly not usually something a good or normal father would say
"Papa, you're not excited at all." Loid defeated by one (1) six-year-old's piercingly accurate psychoanalysis
Loid is facing a true Psychological Battle: The Fitting Room
Anya Ultimate Wingman Award for convincing everyone her mum's battle is actually a circus act
Awwww, Zeb, Fake Husband to Olka, likes her. I hope this is a healthy experience in Yor seeing other fake couples work it out, but I do also think Zeb could mega-die
"As long we people continue to be people, conflict will never end." Alright, Director Doomsday, calm down
"What am I? What am I doing this for?" [B Eilish voice] What was I made foooooor?
"Does she hate me? Or is she just going through a rebellious phase?" Loid whenever one of the Forger girls looks upset: THIS MUST BE MY FAULT SOMEHOW
A hasty and confident NO to Assassin Sniff's whole vibes
We interrupt this program to think about how cute Loid and Anya are!! I love Loid entertaining Anya and also supporting her while he thinks she's missing Yor
"Nice, Mr. Husband!" Oh good, we love a bulletproof vest for Zeb!
Truly a wild juxtaposition of Forger Family Fireworks Night:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"This might be a bit late to ask, but would you consider just peacefully going home?" I love you, Compassionate Combat
I'm having a hard time believing all this will happen without Loid eventually noticing; the fireworks are long gone. I actually do hope Loid crashes her battle, Director Doomsday is out cold
"I'm doing this to support my family.... wait. I guess I am also doing this for money. But... no, I make enough to survive now. I'm hunting down bad guys for my country! For my country? Have I always been so righteous? What am I doing this for?" Poor Yor, this is like the worst possible time for an existential crisis
YOR AND LOID BOTH BEING MOTIVATED BY THEIR DESIRE FOR OTHERS TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE 😭💘😭💘😭💘😭💘
[In Yor's flashback] "Be it for someone else, or for a specific reason, having to endure a merciless job... That's something to be very proud of." I'm sure Loid will acknowledge me. He'll forgive me. I like to think so too, Yor!!
Never mind to Loid helping Yor out, he is busy disarming a bomb threatening to sink them. This truly is the Titanic LMAO
LGLHGLGJHGLJHG Anya accidentally tripping the assassins so they shoot each other. Like mother, like daughter 💖
"You'll be able to enjoy the symphony of agonized screams and roars coming through the wiretaps on this ship." I can't wait for Loid to sink this guy with his own clock-bomb
Update from 30 seconds later: See? Self-owned and sunk
Awwwww Yor really does deserve the baby hug after the day she's had:
Tumblr media
"I pray that, someday, you and your family will be able to find true peace." OLKAAAA
"I know it was an emergency, but I ended up casting my family aside again." Loid and Yor having the same crisis about whether to prioritize their family or their jobs 🥺🥺🥺
Loid's blush at Yor catching him skipping as he continues to skip over in her direction. Hee hee
"I hope peaceful days like this will continue forever." ME TOO, YOR!
Get you a mum who would secretly beat up sharks for you ❤️‍🩹
Setting aside how fun snorkeling is, absolutely terrible idea to go into the ocean with an open wound OMG
Loid carrying his whole family is the cutest thing I've ever seen, 10 bajilion/10zo; perfect:
Tumblr media
[Internally] "You did a great job." Loid is in loooooove
"I can never tell if he's actually clever, or clumsy." Me either, Handler
Anya learning about the vacation disparity of rich kids LMAO
"If youre going to create a persona for yourself, you need to be strategic and commit." Not Loid turning this lie lecture into a spy lecture in his mind
"Lying is too much work, so I'll try not to do it anymore." Anya's entire set of adult role models do nothing but lie all the time, she really has no frame of reference for honesty
I do a little bit hate the Becky fantasizing about Loid thing, I have been Cardcaptor Sakura'd too much in life
NOT ANYA SELLING OUT HER MUM FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF BECKY BEING HER RICH SIX-YEAR-OLD STEPMUM OH MY GOD
I feel like they take a lot of liberties in translating "Loid-sama" as "my precious Loid" but hey, he is precious
"Yor's going to get the wrong idea, somehow." Loid has finally registered that this child is obsessed with him and he is only concerned for wife not thinking he's a freak. A good husband above all else
"I really don't understand the children of rich people." Me either, Loid
I need you to see Loid's face as Becky declares that this is his expression of love for Yor:
Tumblr media
"Your heart is as vast as the sky, and you're stronger than the earth itself. You're the perfect lady." Correct, Becky! Yor is amazing
"I had some extra souvenirs left after handing them out to everyone else. Do you want them?" LMAO @ the implication being lost on Fiona that he doesn't even think of her enough to warrant her own souvenir
I will say, I really do resonate with the theme of the ep being Loid is Hot and Amazing to Everyone But No One Will Ever Measure Up to Yor in His Eyes
"Maybe you're too nice, and biting and barking don't really suit you." Everyone in the Forger family is too nice for their job, including Bond Forger, Precognitive Puppy
Awwww Bond trying to help out all the humans with his visions
LNKFHKFHKJFH Loid really just got reprimanded by his dog
"And he went into save [Daisy the puppy]? What an impressive dog!" I love the Spy Dad-Psychic Puppy tag-team ❤️
[Internally] "I am a cool-headed spy. I cannot let my emotions show." Loid remains deadpan through SO many things but his dog looking a little funny while wet is his limit. What a man!
"Don't push yourself too hard. There's someone waiting back home who would be sad if you died." 1) V sweet, dad first, hero second. And 2) This is the second time Loid has directly spoken to his life situation with a simultaneous thinly-veined dog metaphor
WAHHHHHHH Loid and Bond's heroics being acknowledged by Anya giving them little paper Stellas:
Tumblr media
Yor immediately joining in and congratulating them for their hard work on their walk!!! I LOVE ONE (1) SPY X FAMILY 😭😭😭😭😭 IT'S A NICE SHOW

jamie tartt x rojas!reader where she’s dani’s twin or younger sister and is scared about tell him she’s dating jamie but ofc he’s just over the moon about it 🥹🥹🫶
felicidades!
Tumblr media
pairing; jamie tartt x rojas!fem!reader (romantic), dani rojas x sister!reader (platonic/familial)
w/c; 1.08k
fandom; ted lasso (apple tv)
trigger/content warnings; my half-baked spanish, a little swearing, jamie being a clueless himbo, dani being a ray of sunshine,
stella speaks! this prompt is so adorable, i hope i’ve done it justice!! set somewhere after 2x03
Tumblr media
Jamie feels bad.
He knows how close you are with your brother. He knows how much you hate keeping secrets from him. But he’s also grateful.
He’s only been back at Richmond for a couple months, and many of the boys are still wary around him. He doesn’t blame them, but they’re all so fiercely protective of you that his biggest worry what’ll happen to him, to your relationship when the cat is let out of the bag.
Your biggest worry is how Dani will take it. Dani isn’t the stereotypical ‘i’ll-kill-anyone-who-looks-at-her’ big brother, but he does take shielding you from the press very seriously. And dating Jamie Tartt? That’ll put you right in the spotlight.
The both of you are reaching the end of your rope, and it’s getting harder and harder to hide it.
So Jamie does the only thing he can think of. He talks to Ted.
He takes his time changing after training, carefully packing everything in his bag, a flimsy but effective way to stay after everyone has gone. He also keeps an eye on Roy, whom he’s paranoid knows Jamie is hiding something.
But the older player simply strolls past him, ignoring him as usual, and after Jamie strains his ears to make sure he’s gone, he bolts into Ted and Coach Beard’s office.
Ted looks up from his computer with a start, Beard’s attention suddenly also on Jamie. He feels the heat rise in his cheeks, but Ted simply smiles. “What can I do for you today, Jamie?”
Jamie takes a breath, and right before he speaks, he spots Nathan coming back in the locker room. He closes the door gently, turning back to the two men.
“I’m gonna be totally honest, I’ve been dating Y/n for two months now,” he starts, and Ted leans forward.
“But the thing is, nobody else except for Keeley knows. She really wants to tell Dani, and she’s not telling him because I asked her not to, but I can tell she really wants to, but what if the team beats me up? Like what if Dani is still mad at me for being such a twat and he gets the whole team to beat me up? Roy especially, he would like totally punch me in the balls and then Dani would make me break up with Y/n, but I don’t want to break up with her, but I also don’t want to get beat up, y’know?” Jamie rushes, his words tripping over each other.
Ted takes it in, leaning back in his chair and nodding. After a few moments of silence, he turns to Coach Beard.
“Coach?” He asks.
“Yeah, Coach?” Beard answers, eyes not leaving the chess game on his phone.
“Do me a favor, Coach.” Ted asks, starting to smile.
“Anything, Coach.”
Ted’s grin widens. “Call the Diamond Dogs together please Coach.”
Beard gives a nod. “You got it Coach.”
Jamie looks between them, not a clue as to what’s happening, when Nathan glides into the room, seating himself on the shelf next to Jamie. Jamie looks at Ted in confusion, but Ted just keeps smiling.
A minute later, Higgins also enters the room and gives Jamie a nod. Simultaneously, the four men start barking, and Jamie’s ready to leave when Ted speaks again.
“Fellas, turns out Beard was right. Jamie is dating mini-Rojas,” Ted says, and for the second time in five minutes, Jamie’s face heats up.
“Problem is,” Ted continues, “he’s not sure how well that’ll go over with the team, and frankly, neither am I. Ideas?”
Jamie raises his hand, and Ted points at him. “Yes, Mr. Tartt?”
“First off, the fuck is happening. Second, the fuck is happening?” Jamie asks, tucking his hands under his shirt.
Higgins grins. “We are the Diamond Dogs, and we are here to help! With your dilemma. Your Rojas Hassle, of you will.”
Jamie shook his head. “Whatever. Do I tell him or not?”
Nathan raises his hand. “Well, what I see the worst-case scenario being is the team ices you out for maybe another couple months. Do you think Y/n will side with you during that?”
Jamie twists his fingers under his shirt. “I mean, I hope so. I would be sad if she didn’t y’know cause— well she…” he trails off, his head filled with his favorite memories of the two of you.
“She inspires me to be a better person, and I think even if we had to break up cause Dani said so, I would still want to be better for her and then if I am better maybe Dani and the team’ll see that and they’ll let us date again?” Jamie looks up, glancing around the room.
Ted slaps his hand on the table. “Well lookee there, I think you’ve solved your own problem! And with limited help from us! I declare the Diamond Digs meeting over!”
Jamie begins to smile, a bit of the weight on his shoulders lifted. His smile faded when every other person in the room begins to bark, and with an eye roll, he leaves.
When he gets out, the cool breeze biting at his face, he sees you, waiting by your car. You’re chatting with your brother, who’s telling some sort of training story. His hands are flailing everywhere, and you’re giggling.
He takes a deep breath, then walks over. When he reaches you, he snakes an arm around your waist. You look up at him, the question in your eyes.
When he nods, that inquiry on your face is replaced with his favorite look: that shine of joy in your eyes, and you turn back to your brother.
Jamie takes a breath to explain, but before he can, Dani hugs him. “¡Felicidades! ¡Bienvenido a la familia, cuñado!”
Jamie looks to you for the translation, and smiles slightly when he notices your face buried in your hands. “Something you want to tell me, love?” He asks.
“He called you his brother-in-law,” you say, your voice heavy with embarrassment and muffled by your hands. Jamie’s grin widens.
“Should we plan the wedding then?” He asks. You groan loudly. Dani suddenly turns serious, and Jamie gulps. Has he overstepped?
“Por favor, do not make me wear those horrible dress shoes,” he says, his hands clasped together in front of him.
This causes you to laugh, and Jamie’a grin reappears.
The reaction Dani had was certainly not the reaction he forsaw, but it was definitely better than the one he expected.

WIBTA if I told my mom what my dad did.
I (16 f) went through a very traumatic event last year that I won't go into much detail. I was camping at goblin Valley for a school field trip, and all my family came, except my dad. On the last day, I was almost kidnapped, and was missing for about 1 1/2. I told my mom and teacher what happened. And the next day I told the Rangers.
My mom made sure that I knew it wasn't my fault. And made it a point that I felt safe.
I didn't go to therapy that year though, because I didn't like the idea of being locked alone in a room with a man. And he didn't help to much. I'm autistic, and he didn't work with many autistic people.
I also told my mom I did not want to talk to our Bishop about it. I have her permission to tell my dad, and eventually my siblings. I didn't stay in the room though.
A few weeks after the traumatic event, I went to help my dad and brother move something for a friend. The bishop and a few other guys came. My dad casually brought up in conversation my traumatic event. And I had to retell the entire story to these guys.
Afterwards, my bishop told me, “Atleast now you know better.” it honestly made my heart break hearing an adult I trusted to tell me that. And after that I started blaming myself for what had happened
I went to the car, and pretended I was checking up on our dog in there.( the window was rolled down, and the car was left on).
It's been over a year since that, and I know I could have told my mom, but I didn't want to be the cause of a fight. And I know my dad will never apologize.
The only reason I'm even considering it is because Im back in therapy with a new therapist. She's great, and got me my diagnoses of ptsd. I am currently on my trauma narrative, which means we are going over the traumatic event, and making it to be just a part of my story in life, and not the story of my life.
But what my dad did has really affected me. And when I talked to my brother about what my dad did, he also agreed it was messed up. It broke any trust I had with my dad, and he has done nothing to gain it back. The closest thing he even tries to get involved with my therapy was to sit in the background, playing games on his phone.
So WIBTA
What are these acronyms?

Prompt: How the OM! Brothers shop for groceries and stuff ft. me!
Pairing: NA
Genre: Headcanons, Crack
TW: NA
Tumblr media
Lucifer
This old man has memorised the layout of all his favourite stores. He makes a neat little list in a notebook. He will not type his list in the notes app of his DDD. And his list will be in the order of how he walks through the aisles.
Like, if the first few aisles of the store have foodstuff, those will be at the very top of the list. I add stuff to my list as and when I remember them, so if I ever make a list for him he will most definitely forget to buy something and then blame it on my lacking list-making skills (my mom does this).
No matter how many things we need to buy this man will NEVER take a cart. He will take 3 baskets if required, and give two of them to me. Also will not buy anything that is not on his list. Is ice cream on his list? No? Then I guess we're not getting it...
Man speedwalks through the store. Like there's no time to see which brand of chips I want, I take my eyes off him for one second and he's already at the checkout counter-
Gives everyone who takes their time deciding what to buy, yknow, like a normal person, a glare so intense you'd think they offended his entire lineage or something.
Might yell at me like once for being slow or something during our shopping trip, then make it up to me by buying me ice cream on the way home (Lucifer is an Asian parent confirmed)
Overall, I'd give him 7/10 because he does get the job done, but I will not be the first to volunteer to go with him.
Mammon
List? What list? Haha I'm gonna have to be the responsible adult here-
He never makes a list, because 'he remembers it all in his head anyway'. I'd make a list, then proceed to drag him everywhere, making him hold the stuff.
Complains a bit (a lot) about having to follow me around, but will shut up if I glare at him
Remembers what his brothers need, but always forgets stuff that he needs and when we get home he gives me his best puppy dog eyes and goes "Actually..."
With the amount of trouble this dork can get in I'm pretty sure we're banned from at least one store-
Doesn't care what I put in the cart as long as he can do the same.
We end up forgetting a few items and then having to go back to the store before Lucifer finds out. Then we get ourselves some smoothies as a reward :3
People would hate us because we're the kind of idiots to stand in an aisle taking up all the space while arguing very loudly about cereal brands-
5/10, we're both too easily distracted and absolute menaces when it comes to shopping.
Leviathan
My boy gets all his stuff from Akuzon so I dunno how I'd get him to come grocery shopping with me. If no one else is free that day, he might come with me. Though he'd try to convince me to order from Akuzon before placing a foot out the door-
Whose idea was it to let two socially-inept introverts shop without their assigned extrovert/ambivert? If there are no self-checkout counters we would play rock, paper, scissors to determine who makes small talk with the cashier.
We'll end up buying a lot of junk food and soda. Again I feel like I'd have to make the list and Levi would help with carrying the stuff but I'm sure he'd also add stuff that he wants.
Doesn't care much about like, the necessities? Like, it's ok with him if I wanna get fresh veggies or milk but he won't be one to suggest it if I don't.
Levi gets lost at one point because I'm bad at keeping track of people who come grocery shopping with me and I'm gonna get called to the front desk to get him.
On the way home I take him to the bookstore, get him some new manga and me new books for having survived that ordeal.
9/10, he's like a very well-behaved, anxious kid who occasionally tugs on your clothes and asks you if he can get his favourite bag of chips.
Satan
He won't like this, but he probably is like a toned-down version of Lucifer, except he makes the list in the notes app of his DDD.
Pretty flexible with what we can buy, he'd let me get what I want, within a limit though. Knows how to tell what is fresh and what isn't so I let him select the fruits and veggies
He also speedwalks, but holds my hand so I don't get lost <3
Meanwhile I'm trying to keep up without falling and apologizing to all the people I bump into. Ain't my fault I got little legs-
Hates it when people bump into him and don't apologize so my main job is making sure he doesn't blow up and get us thrown out of the store-
Definitely teases me when I can't reach something before being a gentleman and getting it for me
We end up going to a cat cafe before going home
10/10, I would enjoy it. Very much date vibes.
Asmodeus
He would happily follow me on my grocery runs.
Very easily distracted, I'd need to hold onto him so I dont lose him.
Very good at reminding me what needs to be bought. Has his own list of things that are needed.
Spends a ton of time and takes utmost care in choosing the best of everything. He has a good eye when it comes to stuff like this.
Knows exactly what his brothers like or need and makes my life so much more easier.
Will let me buy everything and anything I want because he is amazing like that.
Flirts with the cashier during checkout and gets us a discount. I aspire to be like him one day-
On the way home we end up going to boutiques so he can do his own little shopping~
9/10, as fun as it is going with him, I don't like being dressed up like a doll after a tiring day of getting groceries. Also won't help me put them away when we get home
Beelzebub
Beel is a sweetheart. I can see him always volunteering to go grocery shopping with me.
Another one I need to be cautious about, he might wander off if he finds something particularly appetizing. Will need to have something on hand to satiate his hunger.
He'd be content with following me around while carrying stuff. Occasionally pipes in when he sees something he heard his brothers wanted.
We will buy a ton of snacks. Now to keep him from opening any of those before we check out...
Probably wouldn't let me get everything I want, but will still be willing to let me get junk food as long as I promise to share them with him.
On the way home we go and have a meal at a restaurant, and then once we're home he helps me put everything away.
10/10, an absolute sweetheart as long as he has something to munch on while we work.
Belphegor
This little shit (derogatory).
This sadistic little bastard enjoys abusing his baby of the family privilege. Annoys the fuck out of me while we're in the store because he knows I'll try my best not to lose my composure in a public place.
The kind of asshole to pick something up and put it somewhere it's not supposed to be. Ever found a bar of soap next to rows of cereals? It's his handiwork, and he's so smug about it I swear-
Gets lost on purpose, to the point where I contemplate leaving him in the store and going home on my own.
Has. To. Comment. On. Every. Single. Thing. I. Get. That is until I threaten to not get the detergent he likes, and suddenly he's a good boy helping me by holding everything
Could care less about what I buy as long as I buy enough for him, Beel and me to share, but like I said before, will comment on everything.
We come straight home and this man just leaves me in the kitchen alone?? He won't help me put away the groceries, he goes straight to his bed.
3/10, there is very little chance I won't try to strangle him on the way back home out of frustration.

In case you're not tired of them yet- I've got some character asks :]
For Holland; 8, 16 and 27
For Julian; 15, 17 and 28 (Driver)
For K; 2, 17 and 47
Thank you for the message! I appreciated the opportunity to talk about these guys some more!!! <3
Tumblr media
Holland
8. Unpopular opinion about them.
Holland loved his wife dearly, but Jackson Healy is the unexpected love of his life.
16. Deepest darkest secret they won’t even admit to themselves.
Holland is worried that Holly hates him. He thinks he genuinely might be a bad father. He couldn’t fault his daughter if she blames him for the death of her mom, he certainly does.
27. Their guilty pleasure.
It would be easy to say alcohol, smoking, or self-flagellation, but really? Holland likes all those cheesy family activities (this includes Jackson of course). He didn’t get to spend enough time with Holly and her mom together, so he tries to put in the extra effort these days for family game nights, dinners, movie trips, anything they can do together. He also gets the bonus satisfaction of seeing Healy’s face flush every time he’s included as part of the March family.

Julian
15. Worst thing they’ve ever done.
Julian has done plenty of terrible things in his life. He is a product of his upbringing. As gently as I can put this with the understanding that he was victimized, the worst thing he did was not love himself enough to save himself by cutting ties with his mother and his brother. Without them in the picture, he very likely would not have been engaging in the destructive (both to himself and to other people) behaviors to the extent that he was. Crystal truly was an epicenter of bad.
17. Quotes, songs, poems, etc. that I associate with them.
Off the top of my head, here are some of the songs that remind of Julian » I Bet on Losing Dogs - Mitski » God's Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash » Afraid - The Neighborhood » Knives Out - Radiohead » Grip - Seeb x Bastille
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
28. How they feel about Driver.
I feel like Julian would find common ground with Driver. Neither of them had a stable childhood, however Driver was able to come out of his experiences being able to connect with others, to love, despite everything. Julian might be able to let him in. Perhaps he could heal.
Tumblr media
K
2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on.
I firmly believe that Deckard would have left that upgrade center with two kids, Ana and K, if he had truly known what was going on from the start. By all rights, they were siblings. K had found his family. He just would not -could not- consider himself human enough to deserve it. By the time Deckard realized, likely when Ana explained the circumstances of K visiting, it would have been too late for him to claim K in life. In a happier story, he would have pried K off those steps before he succumbed to his wounds and the thought that he wanted to die. Maybe he could have been saved. Deckard had loved a replicant as a partner, he could have easily loved a replicant as a son.
17. Quotes, songs, poems, etc. that I associate with them.
Here's just some of the songs I associate with K. We'll go ahead ignore that I'm pulling some of these off my Six/K playlist... » Like Real People Do - Hozier » Star Hopping Lover - Chance Peña » Take me to Church - Hozier » Achilles Come Down - Gang of Youths » Way Down We Go - KALEO
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
47. Their dream job.
I think that in another life, K would have really liked to do something involving agriculture. As we see in both the script and in the movie, he has a genuine interest in Sapper’s occupation. He wants to know what he farms. He wants to know what’s bubbling on the stove. He’s intrigued by the cowslip he finds on the ground. Anything involving the creation of life and the tactile use of his hands seems right up his alley. Personally, I specifically see him as keeping bees if he were not… leashed by the LAPD (if he were to survive defection or were allowed to openly have his own interests). They captivated him from the moment on landed on his hand. As he is, they’re part of a system working for the betterment of a colony. I also think that in keeping bees, he would feel closer to Deckard given that he has his own. It might feel almost as if it were a family business, and we all know how desperately K wants to belong to a family. I’ve included some of my notes on the script and some shots of K finding the hives. I have too many feelings. :(

"Cyar'ika"
Based on that post by @vclkyrxe
. . .
The pride Anakin constantly felt for his men was doubled with their latest victory and he swaggered down the hallways of the cruiser in an excellent mood.
The 501st had worked seamlessly alongside their brothers of the 212th, thriving under the joint leadership of Rex and Cody and making it out of their latest battle relatively unscathed, with minor injuries and zero fatalities. It was a tragically uncommon outcome.
Anakin congratulated the men he passed in the corridors, clasping shoulders and forearms, cherishing their smiles. Too often, they had so little to smile about. There were less and less troopers to greet as he neared the Jedi quarters; they had little need to venture down such hallways after all. Their absence saddened Anakin greatly, so used to their presence, wishing once again that he could be permitted to bunk with his men. The dog-piles of clones he often found himself in when resting mid-battle were surprisingly comfortable.
It wasn’t appropriate, however. Not for a Jedi.
Voices startled him, having expected that familiar, lonely silence, and curious at why it was broken.
“… more careful, general. Today could have gone much differently.”
It was Cody. Anakin knew the timbre of his voice. He must be debriefing with his general and, from what Anakin was overhearing, this particular debrief was more along the lines of a lecture. He smirked, leaned back against the wall outside his master’s room to listen to him get told off for once.
“You needn’t worry, Commander. I had it under control.”
“Sometimes I wonder if you know what that word means,” Cody huffed in reply to his general’s airy dismissal. “Fine. Don’t be careful. Just, keep in mind, someday I might not be there. I could get shot down mid battle and you may not notice for the duration—”
“Cody,” said Obi-Wan, quite firm, and Anakin recognised that tone: chiding, but ultimately so gentle. “I would feel your loss instantly.”
Anakin nodded, so enthused with agreement that he forgot briefly that he wasn’t a part of the conversation. The clones had a habit of downplaying their worth. They couldn’t be blamed, of course, having been created by those who believed they were expendable, but Anakin knew different. He knew that, if Rex should fall, he would feel it.
There was silence following Obi-Wan’s words but it broke now with Cody’s softened voice.
“It does not… invalidate my point, sir.”
“Cyar’ika,” Obi-Wan sighed and the word stuck in Anakin’s mind, knowing in his heart that it was important, feeling the weight and emotion behind it. “I hear you… and I will do my upmost to ease your anxiety.”
“That feels like a weak promise.”
“Well, I know if I tell you I’ll stop being reckless, you’ll just see right through me.”
Cody chuckled, completely genuine, untainted with bitterness or exasperation. It was such an unfamiliar sound. “I suppose it will do for now.”
There was a moment of silence. Anakin had to hold himself back from prying, from reaching out into the force to know what was happening in that room.
“I need to see to the men,” said Cody. “For some of them, a victory is just as hard as a defeat.”
“Let me know if there’s anything I can do.”
“Of course, general.”
The door opened and Anakin almost tripped over himself, realising quickly that he would not get away in time and simply leaning back against the wall, resting his chin in his hand with as much feigned nonchalance as he could muster. His goal had been to not draw attention. When Cody exited the room, however, the commander looked right at him.
His helmet was tucked under one arm, his eyes widening a moment, just a fraction, in surprise, before he set himself a carefully neutral expression.
“General Skywalker,” he acknowledged, setting off down the corridor, and Anakin grimaced a smile through his fingers.
“Cody,” he said in reply, closing his eyes in self-frustration when the man was out of sight because he definitely knew Anakin had been eavesdropping.
He wasn’t the only one.
“Anakin.”
Slowly, he turned his head. His hand lowered from his mouth. “Hey…?”
“What are you doing out here?” Obi-Wan asked, looking slightly alarmed, though it may have been because his hair was slightly out of place.
“I was coming to change out of my armour,” said Anakin honestly, “and then, well, I wasn’t expecting Cody to be down here and it, y’know, caught me off guard for a minute.”
Obi-Wan had a thoroughly unconvinced expression on his face, but he said nothing to contradict his former apprentice. “Cody was debriefing me on the battle. The men did well; the Seventh Sky Corps were very effective… Although, he was unhappy with the way I handled myself towards the end.”
“You mean when you were free falling between gunships?”
Obi-Wan’s jaw shifted. “Yes, precisely.”
An uncertain silence stretched out and Anakin shifted his weight between his feet. “So,” said Anakin, hoping to ease his master’s obvious and uncharacteristic discomfort, “‘cyar’ika’…? Haven’t heard that one before.”
“Ah, yes,” replied Obi-Wan, aiming for nonchalant, but no less tense. “It’s a Mando’a word. A… term of endearment, I suppose, for someone I admire and respect very much. Cody—all the clones, in fact—they aren’t used to praise. It’s good for him to know that he is valued.”
Anakin nodded, eager to validate him. “Of course, Master. I agree.”
In Anakin’s mind at least, Obi-Wan wasn’t doing anything wrong. Anakin loved his men like brothers, valued each and every one of them and hoped he conveyed that as much as possible. He knew his master had qualms about attachment, but it was a difficult thing to avoid in war. Without their friends in the clones, they would be lost.
It seemed, however, that—despite his master’s disapproval of such things—he was making a special effort to relate to his men, using words of their heritage language to address them, to assure them they were important. The older clones were fluent in Mando’a and many made it their mission to pass that knowledge on to the younger generations, now that Jango Fett was no longer there to train them. They would rarely have full conversations, but Anakin heard them speak the language often, words and phrases in passing. It had become so natural that he hadn’t thought twice about it.
He was unfamiliar with this new word, however. Rex had never said that before. Anakin new the Kaminoans had not treated the clones well, but he saw Rex with his brothers—with their younger troopers especially—and he knew his captain had not taken much personality from his creators. He was good with the men. He was less willing to accept praise himself, however.
Anakin made a silent vow to change that.
. . .
Anakin spent the rest of the day honouring his vow, honouring his men left and right.
He did as he usually would, praising men in the corridors with “good work today”, and calling up to the clone mechanics atop the damaged gunships with “looking good”, and stopping by the infirmary with “rest up”. “Men” or “troops” would normally round off each encouraging call, but today he left them with “cyar’ika”. It earned him a lot of rapid blinking and confused smiles. Fives laughed aloud when he heard it.
“You too, sir!” he chortled when Anakin praised him in passing for a job well done, but he had always been boisterous. Jesse, walking beside him, stopped and stared, gaping a moment before Fives dragged him along.
Anakin knew the men must be accustomed to his praise by now, so he attributed their surprise to his newly learned term of affection and honour. He hadn’t spoken Mando’a before, it was true, and it clearly came as a surprise to his men. Anakin hoped they would become used to it. Each and every one of them deserved admiration.
“Captain,” Anakin greeted, settled in the debriefing chamber after an hour or so of practicing his new compliment, watching Rex enter, still fully armour-clad.
When the helmets were on, most clones preferred correct procedure and, as independently minded as Rex was, he was no different in that respect.
“Sir,” said Rex in return, lifted his hands to remove his helmet and it put Anakin at ease. “I spoke to the engineers. We only lost one gunship this time. The rest are repairable; some will need more time than others, but they’ll fly again.”
Anakin let him rattle on, listening patiently as his captain filled him in on battle time and potential changes. Rex was very much a man who believed his strategies could always be improved upon, no matter how much Anakin tried to praise him and his intelligence. It was just further proof of his humble, self-critical nature.
“Rex,” said Anakin, half interrupting his talk of rations and mentally kicking himself because he should have used that word. He would slip in in somewhere. “How are you? How are the men?”
“Very well, sir,” Rex replied with a small nod, not seeming surprised to be asked such a thing and that could only be good. “It’s not often we get out without losing anyone, so we’re all feeling very grateful. Worst injury out there are some second-degree burns. Kix is saying they’ll scar but won’t leave any lasting damage. We got lucky.”
“Luck has nothing to do with it. Your skill and tactical mind helped a lot of people today, cyar’ika. You should be proud.”
Rex didn’t brush off the praise as he usually would, and Anakin frowned as Rex stared, a slight flush to his cheeks.
“Sir,” he said eventually, cleared his throat, “if I may, where did you pick up that word?”
“Do the 501st not use Mando’a?” Anakin asked, worried now that Rex may have chosen to cut his Mandalorian ties and Anakin had just offended him. “I thought I heard you sometimes—”
“We—We do, sir. Many phrases are part of our daily… lingo, I suppose, but that…”
“Did I pronounce it wrong?”
“Sir… do you know what it means?”
It dawned on Anakin suddenly that it was an intimate thing to compliment someone in their own language. “Rex,” he said through an exhale, rising to his feet to take Rex’s shoulders. The captain’s flush deepened, keeping searching eyes on his general. “You deserve admiration. I know the Kaminoans taught you otherwise, but I make it a point not to listen to those who treat people like property… I know it’s a Mando’a word and I’m not a clone, so tell me if I’m overstepping, but I see us as brothers. I had hoped you felt the same.”
Rex gaped a moment, closing his mouth with a click. “Sir, I don’t think you know, so I’m just going to tell it to you straight. ‘Cyar’ika’ is a term of romantic endearment. Loosely translated it means ‘darling’ or… ‘sweetheart’.”
Anakin stared at him, slowly releasing his shoulders. The blushing was making sense now. “That can’t be right…”
“It’s what Fives calls his lovers… They seem to like it, I suppose, but—”
“That’s what Fives calls…?” Anakin echoed, trailing in disbelief because Fives’ response to being called Cyar’ika suddenly made a lot more sense now that he had that flirtatious context.
“What did you think it meant?”
“Well, I didn’t think that!” exclaimed Anakin, waving a hand because Rex’s lips were twitching in the beginnings of a grin. “Okay, no, there has to be some other context to it. Surely it can be used platonically.”
“It really can’t,” said Rex, tilted his head in interest. “Who taught you that word, sir?”
It clicked suddenly—properly this time—and Anakin exhaled in disbelief because there was no doubt in his mind that Obi-Wan knew the real meaning of that word. There was no question now that Obi-Wan had lied to him, or—at the very least—twisted the truth enough not to be honest at all.
“I made… an assumption,” said Anakin slowly, “and I was very mistaken.”
He wondered how deep his misunderstanding ran.
If it had reached a point where Obi-Wan was calling Cody by a name that could only be awarded to lovers, then the image he had created of his master in his mind must be very mistaken indeed.

Now that I've got my FEELINGS out of the way, other assorted thoughts on Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Spoilers throughout, but the big spoilers under the break.
Though it's far more faithful to the source material, it's just as much of a kids movie as the first one. While Sonic 2020 had a standard road trip plot, Sonic 2022 made sure to work in a silly dance break and wedding hijinx that felt like it belonged in a far worse movie. Still, that's not a bad thing! Like the first movie, Sonic 2 does a pretty good job of appealing to longtime fans while also targeting a young demographic. It's fun, even if not ALL of the material did it for me. The important beats hit, and that's what mattered.
The human characters from the first movie were pretty well used, all things considered. It was a balancing act to involve them in the story but not overshadow the characters that the audience was actually there to see, and I think they did a good job. Though Tom almost certainly had less screen time in this one, he really made his moments count.
Though I found it very pointed that the movie never explicitly acknowledges that Tom is a cop. Like, he clearly still is, but they never say it. And frankly I don't blame them.
I love how the writers leaned into the Wachowski family dynamic established at the end of the first movie. It feels like far too often seemingly important characters like them just get written out for these sorts of sequels (presumably because the actors don't want to return, which this movie thankfully avoided).
Jim Carrey does a great job, as expected. I have to say I preferred his slightly less manic portrayal in the first film, and I was disappointed at how little he got to interact with other humans in this one, since he definitely thrives from having a physical scene partner. Still, I can't fault it too much, because this does fit with him having a complete mental breakdown at the end of the last movie. Robotnik was still great and I really hope Carrey comes back for the third movie before he retires.
While they definitely expanded Stone from his characterization in the first movie, I don't mind it. It's cool seeing him being a bit more overtly villainous.
Tails and Knuckles were very good. Colleen O'Shaughnessey got a couple scenes to really show off her acting chops in a way you don't normally get in the games, and I loved it. And I thought this version of Knuckles really managed to portray his naiveté better than Boom ever did.
The movies definitely have my favorite characterization for Sonic himself out of any media. I loved watching him go from being Tom's immature kid to Tails' big brother and mentor. That moment where Tails falls asleep while talking to Sonic mirrored the scene in the hotel room in the first movie and I loved seeing Sonic grow up a little.
But not TOO much, as Sonic also effortlessly slides into the annoying younger brother role for Knuckles
G.U.N.!
UM DID LONGCLAW KILL KNUCKLES' WHOLE TRIBE????
They clearly tried really hard to reconcile the first movie's strange origin for Sonic with the rest of the series' canon, and for the most part it worked.
For a movie with the word "hero" coming up so much, and to end with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles teaming up, I'm a little sad they didn't work in a contrived Sonic Heroes reference. It would have been dumb, but no dumber than that dance battle earlier.
SONIC'S LOVE FOR TOM AND MADDIE BEING THE CATALYST TO TRANSFORM HIM INTO SUPER SONIC JUST MELTED MY HEART. AND HE CALLED TOM HIS DAD!!! Sometimes a family can be a small town cop, a veterinarian, a dog, a super fast alien that vaguely resembles a hedgehog, AND a genius two tailed fox AND an out of touch Proud Warrior Race Guy.
On that note, the Super Sonic transformation was well forshadowed. The constant mention of "the Master Emerald turns thoughts into power" as well as Robotnik pointedly claiming he'll harness negative emotion with it... Sonic using the Power of Love didn't feel contrived at all, which is a feat in itself.
Still waiting on some butt rock, though. Crush 40 in the third movie or we riot!
While I was really expecting (and hoping) for the third movie to take these building blocks and adapt the first Sonic Adventure, I still got unreasonably excited at the mention of "Fifty years ago" in the post credits, followed by the general's apprehensive "Project Shadow." It's awesome to see them leaning so heavily into the series' lore after the unambitious first movie, and if they can only bank on Jim Carrey coming back for one more movie (if even that), then telling the story of Gerald Robotnik is probably a good move.

hi mina!! for the red ribbon event could i request curufin + making a gingerbread house?? i just need more curvo and since craftiness is his passion...👀
thank you in advance and i hope you have a lovely holiday season :-)))
☃: I hope you have a lovely holiday season as well!! :) This was sweet to write for Curufin :)
Tumblr media
𝓖𝓲𝓷𝓰��𝓻𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓭 𝓜𝓾𝓷𝓬𝓱𝓴𝓲𝓷
Tumblr media
The idea of getting Curufin into the festive holiday traditions was the last thing anyone in his family, even you as his spouse, would ever suspect he would be secretly into. You stood from the doorway gossiping with his older brother, Celegorm, about the sight unfolding before your eyes, Curufin diligently sitting at his mother’s dinner table with frosting and chunks of gingerbread pieces, building a house. Neatly stacked in bowls around his workstation were peppermint candies, more frosting, mints and chocolate candies. Never one for having a sweet tooth, the sight was absolutely baffling to everyone in the room. Even Nerdanel had to stop her tiding to observe her son crafting away.
“Go help him,” the unmistakable push came from Celegorm who wished to make this Christmas night unforgettable in his eyes so he could tease his brother.
“Are you crazy, if I decide to help him, I’d be lectured on how I’m building the houses wrong,” you scolded the silver-haired ellon with a quick slap to his hand.
“You want to bet that he doesn’t; trust me, I know the stoic elf better than anyone. Go help him,” and with a final push, Celegorm sent you tumbling into the dining room, tripping over your feet and nearly crashing into the table. The little stern look Curufin sent your way would have made you cower but instead, it urged you to snicker.
“Sorry, blame your brother. Can I…by any chance…join you?” you arched your brow with a hopeful smile as you observed his pondering.
Wordlessly, his hand reached for the chair beside him and tugged it out, inviting you to sit with him. Bowls of candies and other colourful decorations shifted to sit before your eyes as you took your place next to him. “Here, place the frosting on the inside of the cookies—along here and when we're finished we can decorate the house,” his voice was softer than usual, especially during the festive season. It was as if he had reverted back to his childhood days.
With care, you and Curufin sat side by side, frosting the gingerbread cookies and sticking them together piece by piece. A conversation was made and soon you were laughing and chatting away, drawing attention from everyone else in the house. “Are you sure you’re building a house or a dog? I know how much you’re fond of Huan, though I believe he’d love it,” you teased him with a twinkle, showing him how much you were enjoying the interaction.
“Excuse me, it's a house for crying out loud, unlike your last gingerbread house. Can’t even consider it abstract,” he jested as his hands skilfully arranged the final piece, completing the house, “can you pass me the—”
Curufin’s voice fell short as he turned to watch you plop a few sweets into your mouth unbothered by the notion that they were for decorations. His hands quickly shot out and snatched the bowls of sweets from your grasp, dragging them back to his side of the table with a disgusted look adorning his face. “Hey, I was eating those,” you whined.
“Those are for the house and not for eating!” his hand reached out and smack yours making grabby hands at the bowls.
“…But you know we’re going to eat it when it’s finished too, right?”
Your words sparked great war and terror in Curufin’s heart, you had never seen him move with blinding speed to grab his house and sprint out of the dining room to safety, “I invite you to help me, and this is how you repay me? By wanting to eat my house!”
“Doesn't look like a house.”
“How dare you!”

ZNoah comfort drabble
context: During their last field trip, Z-Dog was nearly killed by a pack of creatures that Noah had stubbornly insisted on taking a closer look at. It reminded them of when their brother had died from very similar circumstances, and the trauma and the flashbacks pushed Noah into a downward spiral of self-blame and self-neglect.
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to imply that this is specifically how people should react to a person having a panic attack. I based a lot of things about Noah on myself, and the descriptions here are kind of based on my own experiences with panic attacks, and how I wish I was comforted in those situations. So yeah, this is self-indulgent.
CW: mentions of self-harm, swearing
Grace wasn't surprised to know that Noah had called in sick again today, making it the third sick day in a row. That meant that they'd officially used up all their sick days for the month, but also that what happened on their last field trip was still eating up at Noah.
But Grace wasn't going to leave the poor kid alone wallowing in their own thoughts and self-pity any longer. At lunch break, Grace came around to Noah's quarters where she found them huddled in the far corner of the room, legs squashed against their chest and their face buried between their knees. Apart from the ticking clock on the wall, the room was dead silent.
"Noah," Grace crooned as she approached the bed, sitting right on the edge.
"Grace, please..." Noah could barely speak. "Not now..."
Grace stayed seated on the edge of the bed. "Have you visited her yet?"
Silence. Grace understood that as a 'no.'
"She'd want to see you," she continued.
"To kill me, for sure," Noah spat in one breath.
"You can ask her that yourself."
The door hissed open, followed by footsteps that sounded too familiar to Noah. They panicked, but still didn't look up.
No, they couldn't even bear the thought of meeting Zdinarsk's eyes after what happened.
Grace walked out of the room after a small exchange with Zdinarsk, who stood in the corner of the room opposite to Noah.
"First off, I'm not leaving even if you beg me to," Zdinarsk said. "Second, I—"
"You could've died."
"Right off the bat, huh? Alright then." 
Zdinarsk got on the bed and sat in the middle, leaving a bit of space between her and Noah. Then, just as she was about to touch their arm, a poorly stifled, erratic sobbing echoed from the scientist, whose body began to quiver violently.
There was only one other instance that Noah had come undone like this, completely removed from the brash, cold attitude they usually had.
Zdinarsk immediately caught Noah in her arms. Instantly, she felt their head burning, undoubtedly feverish. But she pulled Noah in as tightly as she could, even lightly wrapping her legs around their body. Still, they remained tense within her embrace.
"I'm sorry." Noah constantly repeated between fickle breaths.
"Hey, now," Zdinarsk crooned as she stroked their hair. "Noah, listen to me."
"It was all my fault."
"Breathe with me."
"I'm sorry."
"Focus on my voice."
"You could've died."
"But I'm right here, right now, Noah. I need you here with me, too."
As Noah still kept wheezing, Zdinarsk would continue to stroke their head, running her fingers through their hair the way they liked it. A few minutes passed, and Noah gradually started to calm down.
Zdinarsk smiled as she felt Noah's breathing calm down. "There you go," she encouraged, then she kissed them softly on the top of their head. "You're safe with me, remember?" 
Noah, still in a daze, laid the side of their head on Zdinarsk's shoulder as they took a few more deep breaths. The last one seemed more like a heavy sigh — full of dejection — as they saw the bandages on the soldier's arm. 
Ever since the field trip, images of Zdinarsk's near-death had been flashing and mixing with the vivid memory of Kevin's own demise in Noah's mind. Because of it, they haven't had any proper sleep as the visions still haunted even their dreams. They haven't eaten either, the guilt telling them they didn't deserve to eat.
Seeing Zdinarsk's entire arm bandaged only fuelled that guilt.
Noah clutched their brother's jacket tighter, fingers fidgeting. "I'm really sorry," they started, voice weak and dry, "I should've listened to you. I shouldn't have gone to that nest. If I'd just stayed put, you—"
"Look, what's done is done," Zdinarsk said, "2 days ago, I was still mad, of course. But now..." She squeezed the scientist reassuringly. "I'm just glad we both got back in one piece."
Zdinarsk peered over at Noah, but they wouldn't meet her eyes. They just sniffled and kept scratching their wrist, a habit that the soldier had begun to notice a while back. So she clasped her hand around Noah's own to stop them, but she also didn't say a word as she waited for Noah to calm down again.
Minutes later, the scientist broke the silence. "I filed some papers to get you off my security."
"What," Zdinarsk sputtered, "Noah—Why would you do that?"
"I have to."
"No, you don't, Noah. And you didn't tell me?"
Noah clicked their tongue. "Kasi I knew you'd react this way!"
Zdinarsk didn't want to be mad, but she was. "Why did you even think of—"
"Kasi, what if you actually die the next time?!"
With Noah finally looking straight at her, Zdinarsk had a clear view of them — rather, the aftermath of their emotional and psychological turmoil that had gone on for the past days. Puffy, red eyes, dried up tear streaks all over their cheeks... And Zdinarsk had never seen them this pale and hollow before.
"I try so hard, Z," they choked, hysterical, "So fucking hard to be a little less stupid and reckless out there. But I know that you know… I'm a ticking time bomb—a fucking accident waiting to happen! Eh, if it's going to happen anyway, edi sana—"
Zdinarsk grabbed Noah by the forearms and forced them to look at her. "Don't you finish that sentence," she chastised, feeling her own heart pound with anticipation.
Stubbornly, Noah finished it anyway. "I'd rather be the one to die out there than have you die because of me, Z." Then, they added softly, "I could never forgive myself if that happens again."
"Noah… How many times do I have to tell you this?" Zdinarsk's hands traveled down to the scientist's own and squeezed them. "Nothing out there is gonna kill me."
"Putangina, 'di mo 'yon alam!" [You don't fucking know that!]
"Yes, I do."
The soft chuckle in her voice made it hard for Noah to quip back.
The soldier continued, slowly pulling Noah back towards her. "You study these animals, right? You watch them aaaall day and make your little notes on them. And some of those notes are about how they hunt or attack, and we go over those notes together, right?" 
From the look on their face, Zdinarsk knew that Noah understood what she meant. Their muscles relaxed again; their gaze, once frenzied, then softened. 
"I know nothing out there is gonna get me because it's your research that helps me know what I'm dealing with—which kinda means you're the one keeping me alive out there."
Zdinarsk expected them to crack even the slightest smile — a chuckle, at best — but she nearly fell over when Noah threw themselves at her for a tight hug that said all the words that were left hanging in their chest, everything that they couldn't say without crumbling into incoherence all over again.
Noah smiled as they felt Zdinarsk hug them back. Of course, their face was hidden, buried snugly in the crook of the soldier's neck.

i just feel like if i was a 50 something year old man up for a really bad potential court sentence i would maybe try harder to know what's going on rather than just not communicating with my lawyer ever and no showing dates without notice and waiting for them to get in touch with me supposedly only the day before the next date (which is the same week of every month).
but i also feel like i wouldn't send my 20 years younger sister guilt trip texts about how i didn't get in trouble for not showing up as if it's not my own fault i'm a 50 something year old man with a fiance and several step kids who doesn't have a fucking license.
like maybe instead of using your spare cash on xbox games you won't play and dogs you'll abandon in two years like toys, you should like, get your fucking license.
but oh that would require your birth cert and other important documents you lose every five years because they got lost in a move because you don't fucking prioritize anything important and then blame everyone else for this impossible to avoid circumstance of not having documents or your own fucking wallet or our brothers fucking ashes.
i might have some aggression here lmaooooooooooo

"cops don't have biases"
I remember when a man tried to K-word me and my 9 month old sister screaming how he'd kill my baby sister cause my mother is a "dirty breeder" and cause he hated my mom's husband, he beat my mother and left huge bruises on her. The cops came and while they were holding him back cause he was still trying to run at me to stab the baby while screaming he'd kill her so she wouldn't grow into a " whore"
The cops kept trying to say how he's actually a really nice guy when he isn't drunk cause they know him personally and yeah he beat my mother but they're sure he wouldn't have actually stabbed the baby.......
Or the time one of the cops down the road sexually harassed a lesbian couple and when one of the wives reported it nothing happened and she'd come out finding parking tickets on her car and they'd constantly be pulled over for doing nothing....
Or when a male cop tried breaking into our house to do bad stuff to us while my dad was away on a work trip and the other cops that arrived didn't take any notes or anything and claimed it was a raccoon.... Who knew a raccoon could break a door off its hinges lol
Or when my friend was being followed by a man that turned out was a convicted sex offender that had a long record of SA-ing ppl and the cops still tried scolding her for wearing a tank top and shorts in summer when it was 103 outside...
Or when a cop down the road turned out to be a pedo and was sa-ing his own kids and neighborhood kids but all the community heard about was what a tragic loss it was to loose such a " good officer" cause he went to jail... for sa-ing kids......
Or when my childhood neighbor we'll call her Ms. Marrie, she was black btw. But Ms. Marrie's house was broken into and instead of doing their job they searched her house for drugs....
Or when my friend brother and gf who are both newly turned 14 year old was beaten brutally { like boys were broken } by the drunk older adult brother and his drunk adult friend... The cops tried blaming the girl of starting the fight because she told an adult man not to touch her and shoved his hand away from her.. { the man that touched her was on am offenders list.. }
Or when a woman was beaten brutally by her cop husband that he broke her nose, knocked out two teeth, broke her wrist, busted a few it her ribs and he broke her dogs hips by stomping on the dog because she told him no to sex, was still a cop after that. He broke his two year grand daughter's arm cause she said " hate you gramp-gram" and hit him in the leg with her little fist but even after that he was still a cop... He also beat his second wife so badly that he broke her jaw and cause permitted damage to her eye cause he hit her so hard but he was still a cop.. This was the same cop that tried breaking into our house..

Hii, I was wondering if you were comfortable doing self harm fics (totally cool if you aren’t, I get that a lot of ppl don’t like to write abt that stuff) bc I also cope by trauma dumping on characters I like ☺️ if you don’t feel ok doing a sh fic, could you do one where Dami almost commits suicide again? If you do then Tysm
Welcome, welcome. You've come to the right place for angst
~
Sure it's been a few days since Damian had done such a drastic life threatening thing to himself. And yeah sure Dick, Titus (yes even his dog) and Jason were now watching him like hawks as to assure his safety.
But they don't know...
Damian has scars, always has since his childhood. Yet new ones grow, those of terror, guilt and trauma. Ones in which no one is there to see, Damian adds one.
It was... a stress reliever from the suicide, he didn't think on it if he cut himself with his dagger. It calmed him. The pain was helping him heal. Right? Yeah, yeah it is. It's saving him from the pain of taking his life! It's okay, he's okay! Causing such slashes across his arms is fine as long as it helps. This is helping him... it's healing him... he's fine.
"Damian? What are you doing up at night? Did you have a nightmare?" Dick's voice was muffled on the other side of the door.
"Yes-" That wasn't a lie, he is literally haunted with nightmares and that's what woke him up tonight "-you can go back to sleep Richard. I'm just washing my face" "You wanna talk about it?" "I'd rather not" Dick nodded and his footsteps faded and ended, Damian is sure he was lying down now. Good, he shouldn't see this anyways.
With every bone snapping
Every thunder that shook the world
Every lightning that blinded Damian
He added another cut to his arm as the nightmare replayed in his head. Soon it faded into pain that he inflicted upon himself, a wave of relief. He didn't cut too deep, blood attracts attention and that is something he doesn't want. It was deep enough to bleed a bit, an easy clean with a very few wipes and he's good to go.
Damian rolled his sleeve down and walked back out, lying down as if nothing was wrong. As if the stinging pain on his right arm isn't the only thing keeping him from taking such drastic measures again.
.
Damian was getting bad at hiding, the pain made him dizzy. Blamed it on nightmares and his brothers believed such a lie. Then it failed when Damian tripped over Titus's outstretched leg. Jason grabbed his arm to keep him up. "AH!" Damian snatched his arm and looked away.
"Whoa, you okay?"
"I'm fine! Just startled"
Jason glanced at Dick then looked back at Damian who was holding his arm close to his chest. "Can I see your arm? I wanna make sure I didn't hurt you" "I'm fine Jason, thank you for catching me, I'm just tired from the lack of sleep of nightmares keeping me up"
Jason sighed and crossed his arms "Damian we know a lie when we hear one" "What do you mean?" "I mean, we know your lying. Something else is going on, please let us help" "I'm fine, what's going on is helping me" "What is helping you?" "It's none of your business" Dick grabbed Damian's arm, Damian hadn't even noticed how his older brother got so close without a sound. "Richard let go this instant!" "Damian. I'm going to take a look at your arm" It was no longer a request...
Don't know what made him give in so easily, but Damian avoided Dick's gaze as he rolled up his sleeve. Both gasped lightly upon seeing his arm littered with fresh cuts.
"Damian... have you been harming yourself?"
Damian tensed up and attempted to move his arm, unfortunately Dick had a strong grip on him. "Answer the question Damian, please" Damian's voice was so quiet yet here it was the loudest "It's helping..."
Dick put Damian's sleeve back down and glanced at Jason, the man went to the bathroom. "What have you been using?" Damian lifted his leg and slipped the dagger out. "Okay, I'm going to take it away. I know you feel safe having a weapon on you, but right now this isn't safe" Damian nodded and handed it to him. Jason came back out with gauze and bandages. "Let's go to the couch and I'm going to clean your wounds. We can talk more"
Dick led Damian over and they both sat down. Titus lied down on the floor, his body below where Damian's feet lingered close. Dick handed the dagger over to Jason. "Okay, talk to us" Dick began to look at both arms as he began to work on the left arm first.
"It helps to do this... I need it. This pain is healing me from attempting to take my life, it helps me avoid the pain of nightmares. I need this it's saving me..."
"So... if you didn't hurt yourself you would kill yourself?"
"I don't know... but I'm afraid to take that risk. I could barely handle myself the first time, what if I try again? What if I don't call for help? This is helping me! I need this to keep going! It hurts but it's working" God you'd think he'd run out of tears recently, yet somehow he managed to have more spill.
"I'm fine! If I keep doing this then everything will be okay. I'll be okay!"
Dick worked on the right arm now. "Damian, doing this isn't a solution. It's only hurting you more. You can't do this to yourself, I need you to tell us if you ever feel like doing this again"
"No it's helping me Richard, I-I can't stop or else it all comes back! It'll come back and I won't be able to stop myself next time. I can't take that risk, please I have nothing else left"
"Damian, you have us. We're all worried and want what's best for you. Causing such harm isn't the answer"
Jason held Damian's free hand as Dick kept applying gauze on Damian's left arm. "What will happen when you feel like the pain isn't helping? You don't know what you'll do and that's what we want to prevent. We can at the very least help you control that type of coping. Hurting yourself to aid in not wanting to kill yourself isn't any different"
"...I want this to end. I don't want to have these nightmares or these thoughts of death. I just want to be happy again, but I don't know how" "We can help you find your way. You need to first say that you'll come to us whenever you feel like hurting yourself or killing yourself"
"I'm sorry... I just didn't know what to do"
"I know, that's okay. Dick, Titus and I are here. Come on, I'll make some lunch and we can watch a movie. Does that sound okay to you Dami?"
"I'd enjoy that" Jason nodded and got up to the kitchen. Dick finished up and held Damian close.

OH! I can't believe I missed this!
Yes I will absolutely tell you about my cannibalism list it's my favourite fun fact about myself now that I don't own over 60 nutcrackers anymore
'Aight so this all started because I kept coming across media that contained cannibalism in some form. From an offhanded joke to it being the entire plot line. (I blame Hannibal and the friend that made me watch it for getting me started on this). So I decided to start keeping track of any media that had references to cannibalism for funnsies
now please keep in mind, most of this media isn't about cannibalism and I don't specifically search out media like that. I've tried to keep the list as things I've engaged with, and I've only been doing this for four years
The list is at 72
I'll pop the list under the cut if you want to peruse it. Mild spoiler warnings, if I remember I try to write what the cannibalism incident is

Atla - villains and there seven deadly sins
Here’s an essay of a specific set of ATLA villains with a possible primary sin that they identify with. Let me know if you agree with my list or suggest an atla villain that I haven’t listed and associate him/her with one of the sins that best fits.
Unalaq = Lust: Particularly, the lust for power. Unalaq’s motives are arguably the most monstrous but also kinda confusing. As he states, he spend his life studying the spirits and learning their ways. He’s mostly acts cold and unfazed, the only time he takes joy on anything, it’s him inflicting horrendous and savage misery on others and he seems to take a little too much enjoyment with his merger with Vaatu. He can't seem to stand the idea of someone having power that he doesn't which is the main reason he hates his brother, who was to become chief of the North Pole and later fathered the Avatar, and is implied to be one reason why he merged with Vaatu. It’s likely that Vaatu’s the one who got into Unalaq’s head because Unalaq, at times, acts less of a right-hand man more of a mindless minion. It helps that the color-scheme of his cloths matches that of the associated color of lust.
Zhao = Gluttony: Zhao’s motives are for the sake of eternal glory and worship. He easily gets higher rankings and is addicted to the destructive power of firebending, caring little for the temperance to control it and the fact fire itself can consume anything its path is reason enough for him to believe fire is the superior element.
Kuvira = Greed: She stems far off from her intended position and sought to take as much control and wealth as possible. She becomes obsessed with loyalty to the point she sets up “education camps” for those who are disloyal. As Kuvira's powerbase builds up, she shows signs of megalomania and a power trip.
Zuko = Envy: Yes I know he joins the heroes later on but his motives from when he was a villain are reason enough to list him. In his monologue with Aang, he reflects of a “perfect life” Azula has and how everything came easy to her and is beloved by all. It’s easy to understand that Zuko is very jealous of Azula to the point he views her as an ever-lying competition. Ozai inflicted so much hurt and misfortune, as opposed to Zuko’s view of Azula having it easy that he uses her as an excuse, her blames her for every bad thing that’s happened to him, Iroh never really helped ease his envy and to think he of all people would understand the dangers of envy. Even when Zuko saw the light, is bettering himself and calls Ozai out for his mistreatment, he still doesn’t understand what she’s been through or she’s done for him, still trying to compete against Azula and will take the moral high-ground to justify it.
Earth Queen = Wrath: She can barely go two seconds without yelling at her subordinates for the pettiest of reasons. EQ is impatient, has a short-fuse, is an overbearing perfectionist and that fact he’ll put Korra on the most wanted list liberating airbenders that weren’t hers to keep shows she can hold a grudge. She’s basically a temper tantrum, ager issue riddled child with some inspiration from the queen of hearts, and maybe Geoffrey.
Azula = Sloth: Her viewpoint is very simple, the fire nation are the good guys who deserve to take over the world and if you refused to obey or betray them in anyway, it’s all on you and you deserve to be punished. To be forced to confront complicated and gray situations was too difficult for her to grasp and she starts losing it. She has a degree of leadership skills but she’s more comfortable being second in command than a full on top dog. Azula wasn’t that impressed that she got to be fire lord, just another another job to do, and she was clearly WAY in over head before she even got the crown. She also seems to rely heavily on her status as prodigy and never thought she’d have to work to hard, that’s how Katara managed to beat her almost twice despite Azula having some combat training. In Smoke and shadow, Azula has a cooler head now that she accepted that Zuko’s on the throne and doing all the heavy lifting but will try to force some pointers on him to help him be the fire lord she’s used to working for. I don't buy that Azula was able to orchestrate everything that goes on in smoke and shadow by herself given her mental chaos in the search, someone else has to be pulling the strings from deeper in the shadows. given that Ozai is the only one to have an affect on her, is the only one she's fanatically loyal to, is the one who nearly tricked Zuko into restarting the war, her and Ozai speaking privately under Azula's request, and her whole plan is clearly Ozai themed despite him not being physically involved. It would make sense to me if Ozai's behind it all.
Ozai = Pride: Fittingly so and not completely without justification. He’s has overpowering ambition and indomitable will. He enjoys power and will only ally with the most powerful with self-control to match but not submit to them. He’s proven himself to be a very competent ruler, he can (mostly) take criticisms and became powerful enough to where only a fully realized master avatar can stop this titan. Pride being the worst of all sins makes him, naturally, one of the worst of all villains, he’s cold and distant, even towards his own family and is willing to kill even them if they got in the way of his ambitions. Like all egotistical blowhards, he underestimated a 12 year old and paid the ultimate price. He was barley phased by the fact that his bending was stolen away by said twelve year old and is level-headed enough to almost trick Zuko into restarting the war. He fools Azula on a constant basis who she herself is no stranger to psychology and deceit. In an AU of mine, where Vaatu manipulates Sozin into starting the war through his subconsciousness and Ozai is the dark avatar instead of Unalaq, with all elements plus energybending, all sub-bendings and all non-bender skills. I picture Ozai and Vaatu being the same person instead of Ozai having to fuse with Vaatu, his dark power depletes and only harmonic convergence can bring it back. Reasons for all this is Ozai and Vaatu are very prideful characters, it wouldn’t make much sense for Ozai to submit to anyone and that would diminish his established role as the primary antagonist in Aang’s saga.

I need some real help right now with my mind... family... things...
Okay. So here's the deal with me. -In my family, there's constant fighting. Lots of it. There's never a day without some petty argument that turns into full blown fights. It makes me receed into my room, staying there because I'm scared I'll trigger a huge fight. I'm scared I'll get yelled at for standing there. I try to hide myself at home the best I can. I can't handle bad conflict. At least not well.
-My brother's abuse or 'love' towards our dog (I think he may end up being a zoophile with the way he views/treats her)
-I'm fine with people that AREN'T my family making physical contact with me. If it's ESPECIALLY my Mum, I hate it. I don't know why. I've never been physically or sexually abused by anyone. Emotional on the other hand? Oh, there's plenty.
-I don't hate my family! We have really good experiences with each other sometimes! It just always concludes in a fight!
-My dad will sometimes yell at me to shut me up. Because he can't handle me trying to resolve problems with my input. One time, we were lost and I had a really good idea to get us to where we needed to be, and when I tried, he yelled at me saying he didn't want my input/help because I'd only get us more lost. He also has really really hard expectations for me.
-My Mum makes me really....uncomfortable. Though I'm not sure she's aware... or maybe she is, I don't know. She's saying she's 'my number one fan', demanding to touch me when I say I don't want to, saying I have physical bits of me inside of her which I really hate, staring at me for long periods of time which I also hate... and yet she's always commenting on things I do, my appearances, my choices... she's sometimes wanting to look to me for help with herself. She says that she'll do whatever i want, whenever I want. That she'll let me do anything. Consistent attempts at guilt tripping and stuff, which I've tried to stop... I understand why, but...
-The place I love the most, the place where my heart is supposed to be, my home, is definitely NOT where I live. I feel like I haven't even found it yet. The best experiences I've had are always ones away from home. With others. Where I can be with my friends or alone where I can be myself.
-My mum is saying she supports me with whatever I do, yet she hates the fact that I'm trans. And she gets even worse when I'm not hypermasculine. She's for some reason okay with me being nonbinary, presumably because she can make me feel like a girl or hyperfeminine that way, being neutral. But when I say I want to be referred to as a boy, especially a non-hypermasculine one, she HATES IT. She is saying that I'm mentally ill and insane, and that I need to go to *retches* CONVERSION THERAPY
-I seek support in people who AREN'T my family.
-I sometimes break when I'm at my comfort places, saying that I refuse to go home
-I isolate myself a ton on the time because of how uncomfortable life at home is. Yet, I love being around friends + comfort people
-I often form parasocial relationships with people I don't know/wish to know, specifically parental ones
-I can't connect with my family. They don't show interest in my true passions so I don't share a lot with them.
-I'm huge with self blaming.
Theres for sure other things but I cant think rn and im tired
