✯✯ 4 Months Ago ✯✯
“Are you sure?” Luca asks, displeased with the last answer.
“Yes, Luca,” you answer quietly. “He’s… he’s a good guy.”
“That doesn’t mean he’s the right guy for you. You can do so much better than him and you know that.”
“If I could do better, then why haven’t I?” you ask with a sad smile, your eyes dropping to the engagement ring on your finger.
“He made you sign a pre-nup. This isn’t love,” Luca whispers, wrapping an arm around your shoulders. “I just don’t want to see you get hurt.”
“And I don’t want to be alone again.”
Luca sighs, pulling you into a proper hug as you wrap your arms around him and press your face against his shoulder.
“I could always set you up with someone.”
“Like Street?” you tease.
“We’re looking for someone better, remember?” Luca plays along.
You take a shaky breath and step back. “It’ll be okay. The pre-nup is just- just a precaution.”
“Or a fallout plan because he knows he needs one.”
“Why are you trying to talk me out of this?”
“Because I don’t think he loves you. And I know it sounds terrible but you’re my best friend and I don’t want to see this guy hurt you.”
You nod, biting your bottom lip as you think.
“I already said yes. I’m doing this.”
“Okay,” Luca says, smiling as he nods. “I really hope I’m wrong.”
“Me too,” you whisper.
✯✯ Present Day ✯✯
Waking up, your first thought is, Luca was right.
It’s been one of the few things on your mind since your wedding three months ago. Your husband was never overly kind or caring, but he was charming enough to convince you he could give you what you wanted and deserved. But that was just an act. After the first week, he asked you to move into a guest room, stating that he didn’t like having your things mixed in with his in his own house. Then his little comments built up from there, ranging from how you dressed or washed the dishes, each digging a little deeper than the last.
As you wonder what would happen if you just laid in bed all day, ignoring the person you vowed your life to, your body betrays you. Running out of bed as fast as you can, you barely reach the bathroom before you get sick. It’s the second day in a row, and as you lean your head against the cool tile in the bathroom, you calculate dates in your head. It could be PMS, or it could be the beginning of something else.
Rummaging through your small bag in the guest bathroom vanity, you pull a pregnancy test out. You bought a few after getting married, hoping to start a family with the man you thought you could love.
✯✯✯✯✯
You smile as you walk inside. The sun is setting, and the picture hidden in your back pocket makes you feel weightless and giddy despite the constant nausea you’ve had the past two days.
“Hi,” you greet, wrapping your arms around your husband’s shoulders as he sits at the table.
He squirms beneath you until you step back. “Do you mind? I’m in the middle of something, and I don’t expect dinner anytime soon.”
Your smile drops momentarily, and then you remember your news.
“I have something to tell you.”
Turning toward you, he crosses his arms. “Well you’ve certainly distracted me already, so go ahead.”
You take a deep breath before saying, “I’m pregnant.”
Saying it aloud makes it feel more real, and your cheeks seem to squish higher as your smile grows. Expecting a hug or a hand on your stomach, you hadn’t considered any alternatives.
“You’re kidding,” he huffs.
“No,” you say quietly, pulling your hands over your stomach. “I took a test and went to the OB to get checked.”
He stands, shaking his head with a clenched jaw. “That’s not going to work for me.”
Furrowing your brows, you don’t have time to respond before he takes an angry step toward you.
“What about me and all of my plans for life? I can’t do what I need to do with a pregnant wife and a kid running around my feet.”
“I-“
“You didn’t do anything apparently!”
 He raises a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose before walking around you. Tears gather in your eyes as you watch him retreat down the hall, and you stand motionless, unable to fight them or wipe them away.
When he returns with a smile, you think an apology may accompany it.
“Thank God for pre-nups,” he says happily. “Get out.”
“What?” you ask, your voice breaking.
“You heard me. It’s my house. I’ll call my lawyer in the morning and get the divorce pushed through as fast as possible.”
“You’re divorcing me because you got me pregnant?” you ask, tears streaming down your face.
“I don’t want kids,” he answers. “You need to leave.”
You open and close your mouth, failing to speak before he sets a hand on your shoulder and turns you toward the door.
“Don’t touch me,” you snap, twisting your shoulder out of his grip. “This is low, even for you.”
“I’m not the one who ruined everything,” he seethes.
“No, you’re the one who tried to control it until you couldn’t anymore.”
Walking backward as you argue, you nearly trip over the step onto the porch, stumbling as he slams the door in your face. Taking shallow breaths against the panic building in your chest, you turn and walk toward the driveway, unsure where to go or who you can call.
The door opens, and he yells your name before slamming it again. One of your bags has been tossed onto the sidewalk, and you gather it in your arms before approaching your car.
There’s only one person in the world that you want to see right now, and he’s the one who warned you against doing this.
✯✯✯✯✯
“Nah, man, it’s all about the QB’s wrist,” Luca says, imitating the football highlight on the screen.
“So that miraculous catch had nothing to do with it?” Deacon asks with a smile.
“Not a thing.”
Someone knocks on the door, and the two small raps are barely heard over the television. Luca stands, pointing at Deacon and telling him not to be a sore loser when he comes back, and the quarterback proves he’s the MVP. Deacon shakes his head and makes no such promise.
As soon as he opens the door, Luca’s smile falls.
✯✯✯✯✯
Your tears haven’t slowed since they started, and standing on Luca’s doorstep, you can feel your chest tightening at the panic you feel. Distraught and with nowhere else to go, you hope that Luca is home and willing to help despite his efforts to warn you away from your now ex.
He opens the door with a bright smile that disappears immediately upon seeing your tear-soaked face and short breaths.
“I’m sorry,” you apologize breathlessly as a new set of sobs rack your body.
Luca pulls you into his arms, wrapping one around your waist as the other cradles your head against his shoulder. Being best friends, you’ve hugged Luca before, but this hug is different.
He pulls you inside, closes the door behind you, and says something over your shoulder. Assuming Street is home, you tuck your head closer to Luca and hope he can hold you together.
“Hey, talk to me,” Luca says quietly, ducking his head to speak in your ear.
You pull back, taking a shaky breath and harshly wiping your face. Luca gently knocks your hands away, using softer touches to clear the tears from your cheeks. He smiles sadly at you when you look up.
“He kicked me out,” you admit. “He told me that he’d send divorce papers in the morning and threw a bag of my stuff out behind me.”
“Did he touch you?” Luca demands.
“He put his hand on my shoulder, but not really,” you promise. “I shouldn’t have-“
“Hey, don’t do that,” Luca interjects.
“What?”
“Don’t try to blame yourself, this wasn’t your fault.”
You nod, prepared to tell him it is, but he interrupts you, telling you he will get you some water.
“This is my buddy, Deacon,” Luca says, pointing to a handsome man on the couch. He tells Deacon your name before steering you to sit beside him.
“Sorry for overhearing,” Deacon says kindly. “But Luca is right, based on that conversation, it seems like your ex is entirely to blame.”
You sniff, a sad smile present as you say, “At least partially.”
 Deacon tilts his head, a question in his eyes – they catch your attention, big, brown, and caring. 
“He kicked me out because I told him I was pregnant,” you admit, pulling a pillow into your lap. “Apparently he wasn’t ready for that. Said I would be in the way of him and his plans, and the baby would too.”
Deacon lays a hand over yours, a look you can’t quite place on his face. It’s not sorrow or pity, but something kind in his eyes. You smile at him, giving him your attention instead of the pillow.
“How far along are you? If you don’t mind me asking,” Deacon asks.
“You’re pregnant?” Luca asks incredulously, returning from the kitchen with three glasses of water. He sets them on the table before sitting beside you. “You didn’t tell me!”
“I just found out today,” you explain. “That’s why he kicked me out.”
“Child,” Luca mutters angrily.
Deacon smiles and gives you a look that says he agrees.
“The doctor said I was about six weeks.” You remove the ultrasound from your back pocket, a small crease across the top corner from the eventful evening. “I’d been nauseous for a few weeks, but the morning sickness started so I took a test.”
“Congratulations,” Deacon says, squeezing your hand where it lays beneath his.
“You know I’m here to help you with anything you need right?” Luca asks. “You and your baby always have a place here.”
You nod, whispering your thanks. “I don’t want to put you out for too long, though.”
“Take all the time you need.”
Deacon’s hand over yours provides an extra level of comfort you haven’t felt in a very long time, and when you look over at him, his eyes are kinder than your ex ever was.
✯✯✯✯✯
“I thought girls made lists of baby names in like middle school,” Luca says, passing you a bowl of your favorite snack.
You shrug. “Well, the name depends on if it’s a boy or girl, but I just don’t really have any ideas right now.”
“You’re a mom now, you’ll find the right name when the time is right,” Deacon tells you, sitting on your other side.
You find yourself in this position often since moving into Street’s room while he is out of town on a training trip. Luca and Deacon seem to arrange themselves around you like guards, protecting you from everything they can.
“When’s your next check-up?” Deacon asks.
“Tomorrow.”
“And you’ll-“
“Keep both of you updated, yes I will,” you finish, smiling as you lean toward him slightly.
“How are you holding up?” Luca asks, hoping you’re as happy about the finalized divorce now as you were when the paper was dropped off.
“I feel better now than I ever did with him,” you admit. “It’s hard not knowing what I’ll do next, but it’s better this way. You were right all along, Luca.”
Luca sighs, shaking his head even as he smiles. “I hate that I was right. And I’d never use that against you.”
“I know. But maybe I’ll take your advice to heart next time.”
“You won’t,” Deacon and Luca say together.
Your jaw drops as you look at Deacon.
“You don’t even know me.”
“Not yet,” he replies, winking at you.
You turn away quickly, but you feel him move as he laughs beside you. Deacon cares for you, and each time he learns something new about you, he falls deeper into his need to be by you.
✯✯✯✯✯
“Based on your symptoms, the severe nausea and vomiting and the dizziness, I feel confident in saying you’re suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum,” your doctor says, looking at your paperwork. “But this isn’t unusual or overly dangerous, so rest assured. I recommend staying hydrated, eating nutritious foods, and eating enough of them. And I know you’re in a unique position here but try to limit stress as much as possible. Your baby is healthy and we’re going to keep it that way.”
You thank your doctor, then receive a paper of tips and tricks, and recommend nutrients before leaving. Deacon invited you to his house for dinner while Luca attends a dinner with some friends. You’re nervous, so you knock rather than walking right in as you do at Luca’s house.
“Hey,” Deacon says, smiling as he leads you inside. “You can just walk in, you know.”
You nod, fiddling with your fingers as you follow Deacon through his house and to the kitchen. Sitting on a stool at the island, you engage in easy conversation with Deacon while he finishes preparing the food. 
“How’d your appointment go? What’d the doctor say?” he asks as he returns from setting the table.
“I’m perfectly healthy,” you lie, a small closed-lip smile accompanying your words.
Deacon’s eyes narrow, but he nods and gestures toward the table. You stand and instantly grow dizzy, keeping one hand on the seat behind you as you close your eyes and waver.
Deacon’s hands grip your biceps, gently tilting you forward to rest against him. After a moment, you blink against his chest and stand up. Deacon’s hands hover beside you as he watches you worriedly.
“What did they really say?” he demands, his voice gentle but firm.
“They think I have hyperemesis gravidarum; so I get really nauseous and dizzy,” you answer quietly, wishing Deacon was still holding you.
“Any recommendations of what to do?”
You nod as you answer, “I have a list of nutrients and foods I should consume, and I’m supposed to reduce stress and take it slow.”
“We can do that.”
Shaking your head, you drop your eyes away from Deacon. “I don’t know how. I don’t have a home and I’m divorced, there’s no one to support me,” you ramble.
“That’s not true,” Deacon says, raising your chin with his hand. “No, you don’t have your own house right now, but you also don’t need to be alone. And you have plenty of people supporting you: Luca and I are here for you, 24/7.”
“But you shouldn’t have to be.”
“We want to,” Deacon promises, looking intently into your eyes. “I want to be right beside you for this, so will you please let me?”
You lean toward him, relishing in the warmth of his skin against yours. “Yes. I- I do need to find somewhere to go before Street comes back, though. I doubt he wants to share his room with a pregnant lady.”
Deacon chuckles, swiping his thumb below your bottom lip. “You’ll always have a place here. Just say the word.”
✯✯✯✯✯
Every move you make is watched, and you wouldn’t change it for the world. Luca has always been a good friend and protective, and those characteristics multiply each day of your pregnancy. Similarly, Deacon has grown very close to you and seems just as protective as Luca, if not more prepared to force you to slow down or eat something.
Yes, they hover and crowd you, but you like being near them. Deacon’s consistent care, comfort, and protectiveness prove that not all men are bad. Your ex was the wrong person for you, but Deacon has been at your side since the night you left him.
Whenever you feel sick or weak, even if you simply don’t feel like doing something for yourself, Deacon is right beside you, ready and willing to do all that and more.
Though your emotions are still a wreck, and a part of you constantly wonders why you aren’t good enough, the memories of your ex are slowly being replaced with images of Deacon and Luca laughing with you, comforting you, and arguing over whether you’re having a boy or girl.
“Have you eaten today?” Deacon asks as he walks in the front door.
“Several times,” you answer, sitting up from your relaxed position on the couch. “Thank you for leaving so much food, you didn’t have to do that.”
Deacon has given the look enough times that you understand his sideways glance as meaning, “I want to.”
“Are you going out with Luca tonight? He texted that the team is doing something.”
Deacon shakes his head, and you feel terrible for keeping him away from his friends.
“Please go. I don’t want you to think that because I’m staying with you that you can’t do anything.”
“It’s not that. I just know you don’t always feel great, so I want to make sure I’m close. You’ve never made me feel like I have to do anything.”
“Then you should go out tonight.”
Your words slow toward the end of your sentence, your head spinning as you grip the couch cushion to ground yourself. The dizziness comes and goes, much less reliable than the nausea, which is relentless.
Deacon wipes his hands on a kitchen towel before kneeling before you. He holds your wrists, rubbing comforting circles over your pulse point.
“Take some deep breaths,” he reminds you gently.
You nod, trying to focus on Deacon’s face, and sit upright. 
“Thank you.”
“Of course. I’ll get you some water.”
“And then go to dinner with your friends?”
Deacon sighs, waiting to reply until he returns to your side, hovering as you sip the water.
“Why don’t you just come with me? I don’t like the idea of leaving you with those dizzy spells,” he suggests.
“I’ll be okay.” Deacon isn’t wavering, so you add, “And I’ll text you updates. Call you if anything changes.”
“Regular updates,” Deacon amends. “And if I call, you have to answer.”
You smile at his worry, his concern often reading as demanding.
“I promise.”
Deacon purses his lips before nodding, asking if you need anything before walking down the hall to change. As he walks out the door, you wonder what it would be like to go somewhere with him, enjoy a night out under his arm, and talk to him about anything. You’ve never had that before, not even with your ex.
Deacon spends his drive wondering how to convince you that you’re not a burden, that he cares about you and wants you by his side. More than your health, he has feelings for you that he can’t quite explain, and his heart and mind only calm when you’re at his side.
As he parks at the restaurant, receiving the first update from you, he smiles and decides he needs to tell you.
“Deac! I thought you weren’t coming,” Street calls, waving him over to the table.
Luca looks over his shoulder, searching for you. Deacon gives a small nod, an answer that you’re fine. You don’t leave their minds through the night, and Luca quickly notices how often and how regularly Deacon checks his phone.
He smiles, wishing he’d thought to introduce you sooner.
✯✯✯✯✯
In Deacon’s house, sitting alone in a dark room, your emotions and hormones get the best of you. Since the divorce papers came, you’ve been convinced you are unworthy of the type of love you crave, destined to be alone forever. Tears begin falling as your mind races, and your nausea worsens with the emotional storm within you.
Deacon is smiling as he walks in, a to-go container from your favorite restaurant in his hand. The living room is dark and empty, but there’s a faint glow of light under the door that he’s come to refer to as yours. He sets the food in the kitchen and walks toward you like he’s being pulled in by a magnet.
After knocking quietly, Deacon hears a quick sniff and opens the door without hesitation. He searches the room, his eyes softening when he sees you. Curled in on yourself and crying, Deacon wordlessly approaches the bed and pulls you into his arms. His warm embrace and his hand rubbing up and down your spine make everything seem better, and it’s far too easy to be vulnerable with him.
“Why am I not good enough?” you whisper against his chest.
“You are,” he answers firmly. “He was a child who didn’t know what he was losing. But that doesn’t have anything to do with your worth.”
At the sound of Deacon’s voice, you feel movement in your stomach and lean back, bringing your hand to your bump as you feel another kick – the first of many, you hope. Your eyes widen as Deacon tilts his head, wondering why you pulled away. Gently, you pull Deacon’s hand to your stomach, and he feels it too.
“Hey, little guy,” he says with a smile, spreading his hand over more of your growing stomach.
“Guy?” you repeat.
Deacon nods, rubbing his thumb over your shirt.
“Why did you stay?” you ask. “The first night, when I came to ask Luca for help.”
Deacon’s eyes raise to yours as he answers, “I know when something is worth it. And you’re pretty irresistible.”
You smile, ducking your pleased look away from Deacon. “I have a doctor’s appointment in the morning. Would you maybe be able to come with me? I just don’t want to be alone.”
“Absolutely. I’ll go wherever you want me.”
✯✯✯✯✯
The following morning, Deacon lets you hold his hand and play with his fingers from your spot in the passenger seat and the waiting room. When the doctor comes into the room, asking about you and your symptoms, Deacon offers to give you privacy, but you cling to his hand before he can step away.
“Please stay.”
Deacon nods, his hand squeezing yours as he returns to his spot beside the exam table. Watching the screen during the ultrasound, Deacon smiles at the sight of your baby and the healthy heartbeat echoing in the room.
“You two have a very lucky, healthy baby,” the ultrasound tech announces.
Neither you nor Deacon corrects her.
“Keep that stress low and do as little as you can,” your doctor reminds you. “I’m not putting you on bedrest but if the nausea or dizziness worsen, I will.”
“She’ll be calm and comfortable, doc,” Deacon replies, and you believe him.
✯✯✯✯✯
With no good way to thank Deacon and Luca for everything they have done for you, you decide to surprise them at work in the middle of a long day. Carrying a few pizzas from Luca’s favorite spot, you walk into the station with a visitor’s badge adhered to your shirt.
Luca sees you first, jogging toward you and drawing Deacon’s attention. When Deacon sees you walking and carrying things, he comes to your other side.
“You’re supposed to be resting,” Luca frets as he takes the pizza from you.
“I just wanted to do something nice. You’ve both done so much for me,” you explain.
Deacon’s hand wraps around your arm as he leads you toward a comfortable chair.
“You don’t have to thank us,” he tells you.
“I missed you.”
Deacon can’t argue with your kind words or soft smile, so he shakes his head and helps you sit before kneeling beside you.
“Thanks for the pizza,” Deacon says.
“Go eat some. I’ll go home as soon as I find the willpower to get up.”
Deacon chuckles, brushing his fingers over your cheekbone.
“Who is that?” Tan asks, watching Luca return to your side.
“Luca’s best friend,” Street answers. “Her ex-husband kicked her out when she got pregnant, and Luca and Deacon haven’t left her side since.”
“How do you know that?” Hondo inquires.
“I live with Luca; I see her all the time.”
Luca removes himself from your side, retrieving the pizza and delivering it to the rest of the team.
“Okay, so she’s Luca’s best friend, but why is Deacon so close to her?” Tan points out.
At Luca’s look, both Hondo and Tan realize. Deacon is protective, caring, loyal, and radiates comfort; he’s everything you need given your situation.
“Heard anything else about the dad?” Street whispers to Luca.
Luca’s jaw tightens before he says, “He stopped calling. Apparently he finally got the idea.”
“Are you ever going to tell her about how many times he tried to contact her?”
“Not unless I have to.”
“You’re a good friend, Luca.”
Street claps Luca’s shoulder before walking away. When you tap Luca’s shoulder to ask for a hug, he forgets the anger brought up by the idea of someone intentionally hurting you.
✯✯✯✯✯
“Can you help me with something?” you ask, standing in the doorway of Deacon’s small home office.
“Anything,” he answers, beckoning you inside.
He pulls a chair beside him, taking your hands as you lower yourself into it.
“I want to find my own place. But, if it’s okay, I’d like to be close to you.”
Deacon nods before clarifying, “I’ll help, but you’re staying with me until after the baby is born.”
“You’ve already done more than enough.”
Deacon’s hand finds its place on your bump, a touch you’ve grown familiar with as his other hand cups your chin.
“You are braver and stronger and more worthy of being loved than you will ever understand. Let me do this for you.”
Your smile grows as you look up at Deacon, your baby kicking excitedly against his hand.
“He likes you,” you mutter, unconsciously accepting Deacon’s idea that it’s a boy. “Almost as much as I love you.”
Deacon’s eyes widen beautifully as he smiles, ducking his head toward yours. You meet him in the middle, kissing him slowly with love and gratitude. You laugh against your lips when it feels like someone is doing backflips in your belly.
“We’ve got a lot to thank this little guy for,” Deacon says, dropping both hands to your stomach.
“And if it’s a girl?”
“I’ll spoil her like I spoil you… if you’ll let me.”
“I’m never letting you go, Deacon Kay.”
✯✯✯✯✯
✯✯✯✯✯
Bonus:
After Deacon and Luca accompany you to tour a small house near Deacon's place, you realize that they need more than pizza for all they’ve done for you. While they’re at work, you busy yourself in Deacon’s kitchen, making a dinner you think they will both enjoy and cleaning as you go.
“This doesn’t look like low stress and minimal activity,” Deacon chides as the door closes behind you.
You hum, keeping your back to him. Deacon approaches behind you, his warmth pressing against your back as his hands slip over your waist and settle below your bump. With his chin on your shoulder, Deacon lowers his voice, asking how your day was and what you’re doing.
Before you can answer, Deacon straightens up, using his hands to lift your stomach, easing the load on your back and hips. Sighing, you lean back against him and take a few deep breaths, enjoying the lightness and temporary relief.
“Thank you. And I’m making you and Luca dinner,” you breathe out.
“Ready?” Deacon mutters, waiting for your nod before slowly lowering his hands.
“I love you,” you say, turning toward Deacon.
“Luca has a food truck, yet you feel the need to cook for him. He doesn’t sound like a very good friend,” Deacon jokes.
“You’re not a very good friend either.”
Deacon’s brows furrow and you lower your voice to add, “Because we were never just friends, were we?”
You wish you could hug Deacon as closely as you want to, and he seems to know. Turning you to the side, Deacon hugs you from a non-traditional angle, holding you as close as possible.
“I love you,” he responds, kissing your head. “Both of you.”

Billy Knight craves your touch so much that it physically hurts, but he's too scared and insecure to initiate. (Please think of 14k and give Billy/this blurb a happy ending? ILY, congrats on 13k!)
UNLUCKY 13 ANGST NIGHT ugh YES billy my beloved boy cw brief mention of childhood abuse
Tumblr media
He's always been told that it's rude. That asking for something like affection was bad, that it showed that you were ungrateful for what you had. Growing up, Billy never had affection, but he learned that asking for it only led to trouble. So he never did. He shut down those feelings and locked them up and threw away the key. He was a grown man; he didn't need paltry things like hugs.
And then he met you, and the need for affection grew. He loved you— God, he loved you— but affection was a tricky thing. He wanted to love you like any other man would love you, but he wasn't able to just hug you or kiss you. He always needed to justify it, and he never could come up with a viable reason why he needed to be affectionate with you. So, he never did, but it was starting to weigh on him.
You looked beautiful as you stood at the kitchen counter, doing nothing especially remarkable. You were cutting vegetables for dinner, and Billy stood at the doorway as he watched you do your work. He likes watching you be all domestic, and the urge to hug you came back. But he couldn’t possibly act on that, as badly as he wanted to. It hurt him inside his chest with the urge, and he suddenly cleared his throat.
“Darling?” he asked, and you turned to look at him, pausing your chopping. “Could you, erm, come here? For a moment?”
You put down the knife and advanced towards Billy, taking his hand in yours once you reached him. His hands were so big and you loved them, and you pressed a kiss to his palm. “Is something wrong?” you asked, and Billy swallowed thickly.
Slowly, his arms stretched outwards and he enveloped you, and you gasped. Billy wasn’t very affectionate with you, for reasons you weren’t quite sure of but knew probably stemmed from a bad childhood, and every bit of affection was welcome and surprising. Your arms flew around his neck quickly and you held him close, and Billy sighed as he nestled his face into your neck. "I love you," he whispers. "M'sorry I don't show it often enough, but please believe me that I love you."
"I love you too, Billy," you whispered. "It's okay, baby, everyone shows affection differently."
"But I want to show you affection the regular way," Billy said. "Hug you and kiss you, do everything I want, but I... I just can't. But believe me, I wish I could."
"I believe you," you whispered. "Maybe we can take baby steps... And this is a big first step."
"I love you so much," Billy whispered quickly, and you squeezed him tightly. "Thank you for not leaving me."
"I don't want to leave you," you told him. "I'd never want to leave you. We can work on this together, but please know I'm proud of you for hugging me."
"Thanks," Billy mumbled. "I just... When I was little, if I asked for a hug or a cuddle, my dad would hit me. I learned that wanting affection was bad, so I learned to never ask. But I guess I need to unlearn that."
"And I'll be here for all of that," you told him. You rubbed his back and stepped away for a moment, and you leaned back and kissed his soft lips for a moment. "I'll always be here."

Oh, the episode where Hetty's trying to forgive Elias sure hits different now.
YES THAT EPISODE anon you are so so right!! Elias is the one that fucked around (on SO many levels, lol), but she is the one that had to find out, when all his legal trouble ended up entirely on her. In Weekend from Hell, she’s not just having to forgive him for all his direct actions while they were married, but also for the fact that he left her with this situation that made her feel even more alone and powerless and trapped than she had already felt throughout her entire life.
And she can’t share that particular pain she’s having to reckon with in order to forgive him with anyone else. Surrounded by the other ghosts as they try to encourage her to just move on, she’s so completely alone in that pain.
Her line of “releasing him from hell would make him happy, and I don’t want him to be happy. He doesn’t deserve to be happy” compared with her finally stating just how truly unhappy she was her whole life in this episode is getting me on a whole other level 😭

Enemies/rivals to lovers??? Lots of sexual tension and teasing between Paige and reader…..maybe even some jealous/possessive Paige in the mix
-🧞‍♀️
hi!! thanks for being my first request sorry it took so long, I hope you like this mini drabble and please let me know if you’d like to see it turn into a full blown fic.
I feel that enemies to lovers would totally suit this girl, she is not shy to speak her mind and you best believe she will make smart comments if you piss her off. Paige is friendly with most, you are not most though. To her, you are the whiney girl from chem who can’t seem to understand how to keep their mouth shut. To her, you are the girl who always steals her seat in class when you know damn well she’s been sitting there for the past two months. To Paige, you are the bane of her existence— forever reminding her how much she cannot stand you.
Whenever she walks past you in the halls, she never fails to “accidentally” bump your shoulder. You respond with a snarky comment or if you’re feeling extra bitchy, an extended leg to trip her— especially if she’s carrying heavy textbooks.
Your friends mess with you all the time, asking you when you were going to kiss her already. You’d scoff at the thought of even kissing the dumb blonde, you couldn’t stand her big ego having self. If there was any excuse to keep you away from her, you’d already used it at least twice. It was comical the serious beef you had with this girl considering you’d never had a full conversation with her in the two years you’d known of her. The distaste for each other was born through nasty looks and petty behavior.
It isn’t until one odd interaction between the stupid blonde and yourself that you notice a shift in your dynamic. Paige had gotten so used to seeing you mess with her in the pettiest of ways that it had become a part of her daily routine, so when you had traded your attention to somebody else— she felt a sourness in her stomach she did not like at all.
Suddenly you were walking hand in hand with some stupid football jock in a jersey that didn’t match hers. This jersey read a last name not even close to hers. Paige couldn’t decipher why she even cared whose jersey you wore, she hardly even spoke to you— and yet, she couldn’t stop herself from cornering you one day after class in the hallway, away from the others.
“What’s the matter with you?” The blonde huffed, staring down at you.
You attempted to step away but she smacked her hands against the wall on either side of you, caging you in. Her cologne smelled good, a little too good, making you slightly dizzy.
“What the hell are you doing?” You furrowed your brows, shoving her chest.
Paige gripped the collar of the stupid jersey you were wearing, “What the fuck is this?”
Finally, you understood, “Oh. That’s what this is about?”
A smirk broke out on your face, glossy lips ghosting her ear as you leaned forward. Your sweet perfume was intoxicating, pulling the blonde in closer to grab your hip with a menacing grip. You even tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear to make sure she heard what you had to say.
“You wanna know whose jersey this is?” You teased a kiss under her ear, leaving behind a glossy stain, “It belongs to the person that I’ve been fucking for the past couple weeks— and you know what? They fuck me so, so fucking good. Better than you ever could, blondie.”
Paige grunted, blood boiling at the thought of somebody else touching you. Despite never really getting along with you, she had never wanted anything more than to kiss you right then and there. Perhaps this whole time she had confused her annoyance with you for attraction. Your brattiness and pettiness enticed her to punish you, she wanted so badly to see you begging for an ounce of her touch. She wanted to see your teary eyes glancing up at her as she tormented you, bringing you to the point of complete submission.
“You’ll be begging for me to fuck you before you know it.” She nudged her knee in between your thighs, eliciting a gasp from you.
“In your dreams.” You scoffed, squirming away before walking away leaving the blonde utterly confused and wanting more.
Paige watched as you excited the building, the scent of your perfume lingering in the air around her leaving her with the hunger for more. She would have you, sooner or later— she’d make sure of it.

I love how much story they are getting from the whole Isaac has money (well kind of) concept. I don't know what is gonna come out of next week's episode but if Isaac does end up investing his share I could see this as a way for Jay to have some sort of relationship with anathor Ghost.
Yes! It really feel like this is the season where they're starting to let Jay develop his own relationships with the ghosts in a way that really fits him, you know? Sas in his dreams (and anyone else Sas cares to bring with him,) Isaac and the money for the restaurant...I wonder if they'll keep doing it because I love it! Jay getting to have relationships with the ghosts that have nothing to do with Sam is SO important to me and I'm glad effort is being put into making that happen.

listen,, i agree that wonwoo is a top but it's more like 99%. with any other person in the world he's a top. but for some reason mingyu just does it for him! and maybe there's a tiny bit of shame there which is why he's shy and keeps his socks on! but there's no denying he likes it! not super often but SOMETIMES!!! and it's actually really super cute if you think about it! 🫠🫠🫠

Tumblr media
BUT ALSO!!
Tumblr media
I've always written both of these guys as Complete and Utter Tops but now you've got me second-guessing.
What if what if what if what if what if it's more of a 75/25 split? Wonwoo is, in general, a bit of a service top. Mingyu will happily bottom for him but that doesn't mean he completely loses his interest in topping. Wonwoo might have been unsure in the beginning (he definitely wouldn't have tried it in the past so Mingyu would have been his first) but he ended up liking it more than he thought he would.
There's just something he finds so hot about top!Mingyu!!!
(also... cute, shy, slightly whiny Wonwoo in nothing but his socks AND ALSO a big t-shirt that he wears to bed?.?? A truly S+ tier image that Mingyu would Not be able to resist ever.)

Hey, I just got another idea: Deacon introducing his new girlfriend to his kids over dinner and game night.
But from the point of view from one of the kids (as a little challenge😊)
- 🥰
This is such a cute idea! I wrote it from Lila's perspective (1st person POV) and it was certainly a challenge; I haven't written 1st person in a while. I hope it turned out alright, and thank you for the request and the challenge, I enjoyed writing this! Please let me know what you think and enjoy! :)
Warnings: slight angst, fluff, I imply that Annie is dead but I think you could read it differently. bad writing?
Word Count: 2.2k+ words
A/N: Writing from Lila's POV was harder than I thought it would be, but I kind of like how it turned out for some reason? Feel free to send feedback or constructive criticism; I admit that this isn't my usual writing style but I'm open to suggestions for improvement!
The title implies that reader and Deacon get married, so if anyone wants a part 2 I could be easily convinced to write it👀

Dad has been smiling more. Matthew thinks it’s because his friends at work are doing a good job, but I don’t know if that’s it. Sometimes, when Dad gets home after work, he isn’t smiling, but then he looks at his phone and gets all smiling. Maybe Dad likes his new phone. Or he found a new game!
“Hey,” Dad says as he opens my door. “Ready for dinner?”
When we walk together, Dad always holds my hand or carries me. Today, he tosses me over his shoulder and makes me laugh. Whatever it is that makes him happy, he's more like he used to be.
“Before we eat there’s something I need to talk to you about,” Dad says as he puts me in my chair. “So, a few months ago I met a girl.”
I knew it.
“She’s… she’s amazing. We’ve been getting to know each other and doing fun things. But she and I think it would be nice for her to meet you.”
“Are you replacing Mom?” Matthew asks, crossing his arms. (I want to kick him. Can’t he see Dad is happy?)
“Not at all,” Dad says, smiling at Matthew. His face changes as he adds, “If you don’t like her, then nothing else will happen. Okay?”
Matthew nods, but Dad’s smile is gone.
“Dad? Is she like mom?” I ask.
“Kinda. She’s also smart and beautiful, but she’s different.” His smile is back. “She likes different things, she talks differently. But she is going to love you guys.”
“We might not love her,” Matthew grumbles.
Dad takes a funny breath before tapping the table and walking to the kitchen to get dinner.
“Stop being mean,” I tell Matthew.
“He shouldn’t be talking to someone else. She isn’t Mom and I don’t want her around.”
“She’s not replacing Mom,” Samuel says. “Dad said so.”
“Well, he is. If they’re dating and they get married, then she’ll be our stepmom, meaning replacement,” Matthew says meanly.
“Dad said he’d stop seeing her if we wanted,” I remind him. “But we should meet her first. We might like her.”
Matthew rolls his eyes, which makes him look weirder than usual, and nods. I’m excited to meet her because if she makes Dad smile, she must be extra special.
“Here you are, Samuel,” Dad says when he sets Samuel’s plate down. “Matthew, Princess Lila.”
“Hey, why is she a princess but I’m just Samuel?” Samuel pouts.
I laugh at him, and Dad says, “Why am I not King Dad?”
“Wait, can I see a picture of her? What’s her name?” I ask.
Dad tells us her name, and it’s pretty. Then he shows us a picture of her, and she’s as beautiful as her name.
“She looks like a princess!” I say.
“No, she doesn’t. Princesses wear big dresses and crowns,” Matthew argues.
I want to kick him again, but Dad smiles at Matthew and puts his phone away.
✯✯✯✯✯
Matthew and Samuel are in my room with me when she gets here. I watch out the window as Dad opens her car door and squats to talk to her. 
“I’m going to meet her,” I tell my brothers.
“Dad will introduce us,” Matthew grumbles.
I don’t listen to him, so I walk down the hall but stop when the door opens.
“What if you’re wrong?” she asks.
Dad closes the door and laughs. “I’m not,” he answers. His voice sounds different, happier.
“They’re going to hate me, David.”
Dad laughs again, and I peek around the corner. His arms are around her, and she’s leaning against him.
“They’re not. Everything will be fine.”
“I just want them, and you, to be happy,” she says quietly. “Even if that doesn’t include me.”
“Hey,” Dad says, the same way he does when I’m sad or after I get hurt. “I want you here. I’m happy with you. And the kids? The kids are going to love you.”
“Even Matthew?”
“Especially Matthew.”
She laughs at that, for some reason, before she steps back from Dad.
“We’ll be right back,” Dad whispers. He steps around the corner and stops when he sees me, shaking his head and smiling. “Go say hi.”
While he goes to my room, I step out and wave at her.
“You must be Lila. You’re even prettier than your dad said,” she says. She’s kind, like Dad said.
“I am Lila. My dad says that you’re smart and beautiful and going to love me and my brothers.”
“Well, he’s right about the last thing.”
“How did you meet my dad?”
“We just ran into each other one day. He was working and I was nearby.”
“Can we be on a team for game night? I haven’t been on an all-girls’ team in a while.”
She smiles, which makes her even prettier, and says she would like that. My brothers come back, and Dad introduces everyone to each other while I sit beside her.
“Why do you like my dad?” Samuel asks.
“He’s really good to me, and for me. I think he’s the best guy I’ve ever met.”
She looks at Dad while she talks, and he smiles at her. I like her. She doesn't treat us like little kids, and I like that.
“Why do you want to replace our Mom?” Matthew asks.
She looks at Dad before she answers. “I don’t, Matthew, I promise I don’t. Your dad has told me about your mom, and she sounds amazing.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“I want to be with your dad and try to make him happy like he makes me happy.”
“By replacing my mom,” Matthew says as he gets up and walks away.
She looks up at Dad, but they’re not smiling anymore. Dad raises a hand and nods before he follows Matthew. I put my hand in hers, and she looks over at me.
“Do you love my dad?” I ask her.
Her smile returns as she says, “I do. More than anything.”
✯✯✯✯✯
Dad hugs her tightly on the porch before she leaves. I stand beside the window so I can see and hear them.
“If they don’t want me here, I understand. They’re the most important things in your life and they shouldn’t be uncomfortable or upset. I understand if you don’t want me to come back and we can be friends, right?”
“That’s not going to happen. We’ll work through it. Lila loves you.” That’s true. “And Samuel thinks you’re great. Matthew, uh, Matthew just needs some time.”
“I get it. Take all the time you guys need. You’re worth waiting for, Deac.”
They get quiet, and when I look outside again, Dad holds her while they kiss. He pulls back and wipes her face. I think she’s crying.
I decide to help Matthew with his time and walk into his room.
“We need to talk.”
“You always need to talk,” he says.
“Why don’t you like her?”
“You wouldn’t understand, Lila.”
“Who says? You won’t let me try.”
Matthew sighs and rolls away from his comic book to look at me.
“No matter what they say, even if she isn’t a replacement, she’ll end up in Mom’s spot. And I don’t want that.”
“Why not? She’s nice and she loves Dad and he loves her.”
“What are we doing?” Samuel asks as he comes in and sits beside Matthew.
“Talking about Dad’s girlfriend. Matthew doesn’t like her,” I answer.
“She’s nice, and super fun,” Samuel says. I nod and look back at Matthew.
“I never said I didn’t like her,” Matthew says quietly. “I just don’t want her to replace Mom.”
“She can’t replace Mom. They’re so different. It would be like another Mom, not a new one.”
“She even said that she can’t replace Mom and wouldn’t try to. She wants to make Dad happy, which involves us being happy,” Samuel explains. Matthew and I look at him, confused by his wording. “That’s what she told me,” he adds.
“So, you do like her?” I ask.
“I do,” Matthew says quietly. “I’m just scared.”
“There’s nothing to be scared about. Dad loves us and would never do anything without telling us or making sure we’re okay. That’s why he brought her to meet us. You should give her a chance.”
Matthew nods and stands up. “Let’s go talk to Dad.”
We walk together to the kitchen, where Dad cleans up after dinner and game night.
“Dad, can we talk?” Matthew asks.
Dad dries his hands as he nods and waves his hand toward the couch. When we all sit down, he sits on the table in front of us.
“What’s going on?” he asks.
I look at Matthew because I know he’ll answer the question. “We like her,” he admits, “and I’m sorry for being mean.”
“It’s okay, bud. This is a big change and you’re allowed to have questions and need time to think,” Dad says, putting a hand on Matthew’s leg.
“Is she coming for game night again?” Samuel asks. “Because I want to be on her team this time.”
“No, I do, she’s good,” Matthew argues.
Dad laughs and pats their knees. “If you want, she’ll come for two game nights so you can take turns.”
We nod together, and Dad smiles. She said she wants to make Dad happy, but I think she already is.
“Thank you for meeting her and being open to new things, guys. It was very grown up of you.”
“I didn’t get to tell her she looks like I princess,” I remember.
“You can tell her next time, munchkin. Maybe she’ll even play dress up with you… if you ask really, really nicely.”
That sounds amazing. I can’t wait to see her again. Maybe getting a new mom could be even better than I thought.
✯✯✯✯✯
I can hear Dad talking after he tucks me in. Dad says her name, so I must check if she’s back so soon. Creeping down the hallway, I realize I can only hear Dad.
“I told you Matthew would like you. He just needed to figure out that you’re not trying to replace Annie,” Dad says. “They really, really like you; they want you to come back for game night so you can be on Samuel and Matthew’s team next time.”
He’s quiet for a while before he asks, “Are you crying?” And then, “Are you sure? Because even when you said no it sounded like you were.”
Dad laughs like he used to, but a little different. I guess that’s how the whole thing works: he’s happy but differently than before because you’re different, and now he’s different.
“I told you they’d love you,” Dad says, “just like I do.”
They really do love each other. Dad made a good choice, and we did too.
✯✯✯✯✯
It’s finally game night again, and Dad and Matthew have decided to treat it like a “do over,” so they’re acting like they haven’t met her before. I think that’s funny, but I’m glad that she’s coming back either way. I’m by the window watching for her while Dad and Matthew set up the board game.
“She’s here!” I tell Dad.
He thanks me and then walks to the door. Matthew follows him, and I turn to watch. Dad opens the door and smiles.
“Hey,” he greets, a weird tone he only uses for her breaking through. “This is Matthew.”
Matthew shakes her hand, and they smile at each other.
“Nice to meet you,” Matthew says. “Sorry about before.”
“No apology necessary, Matthew. It’s very nice to meet you, too. Your dad has told me lots of good things about you.”
“Really? Like what?”
“He said you’re really good at tonight’s game. So, I was wondering if you’d want to be on my team? I need a lot of help.”
“Sure!”
Matthew leads her to the table where the game is and shows her where he’s sitting. Dad looks at me and winks.
“Dinner first, Matthew,” he says as he walks by. He drags his hand across her back as he passes her. He never did that with Mom, but she isn’t Mom.
“Will you be on my team next time? I get to choose the game next week,” Samuel tells her.
“I’d love to!”
While we eat dinner, she answers our questions and asks us some too. She tells us about where she’s from, her job, her favorite food, and (my question) who her favorite princess is.
“Who is your favorite princess, Lila?” she asks.
Dad smiles at her every time she asks us a question. By dessert, it feels like we’ve known her forever. She agrees to come over just to hang out with me, and I feel great; I stick my tongue out at Samuel, and he laughs at me.
“You take the first turn and I’ll watch,” she whispers to Matthew when we start playing his favorite game.
She watches him and asks him a few questions, then watches Dad as he takes his turn.
“Hey, when do I get to be on your team?” she asks Dad, smiling at him.
“You’re always on my team,” he answers, winking at her.
“Gross,” Matthew whispers.
His eyes widen, and he apologizes quickly before she and Dad start laughing. She tells him it’s okay and asks for his help with her turn. When she’s not talking to us, she looks at Dad.
As he walks her to her car, he kisses her, and spins her around. She’s always been pretty like a princess, but Dad loves her enough to treat her like one, too.

hello babesss blurb request for billy? if u write for him that is, just thinking about how soft and cute and shy he is with reader. idk like him maybe getting turned on around her and reader thinks it’s hot. love ur writing <3
i haven't written for billy before but i love him so much so yesss thank yooouuuu cw handjob, premature ejaculation
Tumblr media
His body was so warm against yours as you pressed your cheek to his chest, and Billy's hand gently stroked down your back. The television was playing quietly on the other side of the room, illuminating you and him, and Billy sighed heavily, his hand falling slightly lower than before to touch at your ass.
"Bill?" you mumbled sleepily, and his hand jerked away suddenly, as if he had been caught doing something bad.
"Sorry," he said sharply, but your arms around his middle kept him from escaping too far across the couch from you.
"What're you sorry for?" you asked. "You can touch me, if you want."
Billy's big eyes flicked down to you, and a small frown crossed his face. "Don't say that," he mumbled, and you nuzzled your cheek further into his chest.
"Do you wanna touch me?" you asked. "You can, Billy."
"But if I touch you, then you've gotta touch me," Billy said. "S'how it works, right? And you don't wanna..."
"Of course I wanna touch you," you said quickly. "Billy, you're so handsome, I'd love to touch you." Carefully, you let your hand skate down his belly and play at the strings of his track pants, and his stomach quivered under your palm. "How long's it been since you've been touched right, baby?"
Billy swallowed thickly, but his hips shifted up into your hand. "A while," he said. "Since I was a teenager, I think."
"Oh, baby," you whispered, and your hand slipped under his trousers to palm at him through his boxers. He was already hard, hot and swelling under your touch, and his hips bucked up into your hand again.
"Yeah," he said softly. "J-Just like that. Maybe you could put your hand on it? Like, touch my skin?"
Without a word, you moved your hand under his boxers, and his skin was hot against your palm as you wrapped your fingers around his fat length. "God, you're big," you whispered, and Billy's head fell back with a moan. "And you're so hard. Have you been turned on all night?"
"E-Ever since you showed up," Billy stuttered. "I smelled your perfume a-and—"
You leaned up and kissed his soft mouth to silence him, and his big hands grabbed at your cheeks as you slowly stroked his cock until he was fully hard. His tongue pushed into your mouth as he moaned again, and your hand squeezed him to draw out a longer moan. "Fuck, baby," Billy whispered. "You'll make me cum in my pants."
"Are you already close?" you asked, and Billy nodded quickly, one of his messy waves falling into his eyes. "That's so hot, Billy. Tell me when you're about to cum."
Billy looked down at where your hand disappeared into his pants, his chin attaching to his heaving chest, and he gasped when your thumb swiped across his leaking slit. "Baby," he whispered. "Do that again, please do that again—"
You moved your body to reach his neck, and you kissed his thin skin as you smoothed your thumb across his slit again. Billy's hips bucked up into your hand, fucking your fist, and his head tipped to allow you to better reach his neck. His skin smelled so sweet, and his cock jumped when you moaned softly. "So good," he whispered, and his eyes squinted shut as his eyebrows furrowed. "So fucking good. M'gonna cum, baby, keep doing it."
Your hand moved faster in his boxers as your kisses became harder, adding your teeth to mark him up, and Billy squirmed under you as he moaned loudly, almost like he couldn't hold it back anymore. His hips bucked, his belly quivered, and Billy could hardly mumble out "Baby—" before his cock throbbed in your hand and he came.
You stroked him through his orgasm, smiling into his neck as he fucked your hand wildly, and you watched his hands flex and curl into fists as his chest bounced with heavy breaths. "Just like that," you told him, kissing over the small red mark that you had left on his neck. "Good, Billy, just like that."
"Fuck," Billy huffed, and his eyes finally opened as he looked at you, heavily-lidded and mouth fallen open. "Haven't cum that hard in years."
"Good," you whispered. "You deserve it, baby."

How did you find your artstyle/and or artstyles? I need advice on finding my own.. I Can't seem to figure it out!! LOL.
Imo its the same as how the skill itself is developed with practice and reference.
Art style, as most think of it, is basically imo an artist's shorthand. How they decide to convey and or simplify the subject, what they personally feel is the best way to portray the subject. Its a combination of preferences of color, shape, line, how much time and energy one has, how familiar they are with the design, etc. And how you go about making your own is just. Drawing and determining if it works or not for you.
For example, this is how I drew CB the red caboose when I first got into starlight express:
Tumblr media
Versus how I draw him now:
Tumblr media
This is how cb usually looks irl btw (or used to look like.)
Tumblr media
It also helps to have consistency in your style/s (as with most cartoons and animated shows), but its not a requirement.

Am I the only one who genuinely sees Hetty caring more about Trevor each day? She seems so excited for his happiness lately! And...also...hurt when he is upset with her. Even though she kind of ignored him when he "broke up" with her, she was worried about him when he first brought her into the room. Maybe it is just wishful thinking, but I am seeing a deeper meaning in their relationship. I hope it is true.
No I agree! They're definitely still orbiting around each other. I think Hetty does care, she just doesn't know how to care- Hetty's very, very fickle and not great with her emotions, she's constantly being a hypocrite and flipflopping around with where her empathy gets placed which is a very fun character flaw of hers, you never really know how she's going to react to things because while we see often that she does care about her friends she's very selfish. You can see that while she starts and ends the break up scene being shitty, in the middle she does start to look contrite and guilty- until he leans into the Alberta-knows-about-your-plan thing and she pivots back into being Fixated on her scheme to get sucked off, which to her is the most important thing in the world (they have different goals- Trevor wants to be alive again/pretend he's still alive, and Hetty just is fed up with being a ghost and wants to get sucked off no matter what it takes). I think if that hadn't happened they might have made up there instead of breaking up, and you're right that she did initially care/seem concerned when he said they needed to talk. The fun thing about them is they really struggle to communicate with each other and they both goofed that conversation up, though to different degrees- Hetty can't handle criticism or the implication she's done something wrong, because she always has to be right/have the upper hand (and she also genuinely doesn't think she has done anything wrong but instead of hearing him out she instantly tries to shift the blame), so she immediately switches into trying to manipulate him, and then Trevor responds to her manipulation by bringing the fact that other people (Alberta) think she's being awful, but this backfires on him, lol. It was very cute how in the new episode she gets all excited about the Tara Reid thing with him, the way she elbows him with that genuine scrunchy happy face was adorable. It was very cute seeing her happy for him even if she switched to team get-rid-of-Jeremy because she's always gonna be on the side of Business. I really don't think they're done with each other because the nature of their relationship within the show-canon is that they love to hate each other, they're combustible and they butt heads but in a way that makes them- well- horny, LOL, and the way they bicker is definitely a part of that. The very bratty way Trevor tells her that "you can't make me (do what you want)" in the new episode felt very charged in a way that their dynamic building up to the initial kiss had been, so I'm remaining hopeful we'll see some more from them, since we know Asher and Rebecca are both wanting to do more :]

Could you tell us more about your corpse bride au? It sounds very interesting :)
Tumblr media
[From left to right: Yoichi (minimal decay to face, full bone arm), Third (most recent dead, zero decay), Banjo (full skeleton), Shinomori (minimal decay; I'd love for him to be a bog body, but his corpse might just be in a research hospital morgue), and En (missing left arm, otherwise minimal decay).]
Thank you anon for making me remember about corpse bride AU and hastily writing shit down in order to provide you with answers--
The setting of the story is split between Musutafu (for the convenient park location where Yoichi’s body was interred) and Yomi [黄泉], the land of the dead referred to in Shinto mythology. Yoichi references Izanagi and Izanami re: Izanagi sealing the entrance (and his wife away) with a huge boulder, but otherwise, I’m not incorporating any demons or folkloric creatures. A lot of pseudoscience will be handwaving the existence of Yomi.
Yoichi died first, of course, but the most recent death among the dead is actually Third (Sanjuro), hence why he looks like much older than the rest of them. Second (Kenji) has one foot in the grave, but he’s holding onto life for as long as possible to find proof of Yoichi’s death, and is generally making himself a nuisance to the local law enforcement. 
Toshinori loves Captain Hero so much, he sort of forgives Gran Torino for being an asshole just because of the costume similarity. Kotarou, on the other hand, has high standards and gives Sorahiko the evil eye for wasting so much time re: saving the Shimuras from losing Toshinori.
Banjo and En are Yoichi’s hype-men, like how the worm and spider were for Emily. Regardless of how they died on the job, they did like being heroes, and they don’t see why Sorahiko had to be such a jerk, saying that Yoichi couldn’t be one.
All for One is aware of the world of the dead, and he fully intends on using Toshinori to access it. Does he know how he’s going to do that? No, but that’s what Garaki is for.

Cuntboys who spent their whole time on this site harrasing transfems, dissmising our real oppression and hatecrimes, calling us terfs and implying we're the same as people that literally wants us dead, making group chats to further harrass and alienate us, and making "receipts" blogs to compare us to nazis are truly the most retarded whores you might find, rapįng y'all would be beyond mid at this point huh
So no breastie, our struggles ("yours" literally being y'all upset your made up term for men oppression it's worldwide accepted nor logical). Y'all are the ones responsible for the lack of "transunity" my sis in christ
The fact that you call me three slurs, say that raping me would be “mid”, and misgender me while complaining about how evil we are for talking about discrimination against us is astounding. How do you type this and not think “hm. maybe me misgendering transmascs, calling them slurs, and talking about raping them is proving their point about being discriminated against by their own community.”
Also, is the “receipts blog comparing you to nazis” you’re talking about transandrophobia-archive? Because they’ve literally never compared you to nazis nor facists. Like ever. You are making things up to get mad about.
Also also, I’m not in the transandrophobia group chat. I’ve heard of it, but I’m not a part of it. You are shooting at the wrong guy.
Conclusion: you are a transphobic piece of shit. Get off anon coward 👍
