#could not tell you the name or anything more about 95% of these people! just random fragments interacting in my life

[fictional-worlds-are-exquisite]

I just finished reading Letter to a Stranger by Colleen Kinder (and, of course, many many others) and it was quite a unique read for me

when given the choice (the time), i always read a book all at once in a few hours or over the course of a day or two (depending on how long it is). i’m not so good at pacing myself when it comes to books (i never willingly pace myself...i’m bad). when i don’t have the time, i’m terrible, it’ll take me months to finish a book because i feel so demotivated knowing i might be able to read a few chapters but no more because i’m too busy.

but i started reading this book on the 17th of july, a sunday. i read a few letters. i called it a night. i had a busy week. the 22nd, friday, i read some more letters. i had time to read the majority of the book but i put it down. i read an entire fiction book instead over the course of 2 ish days. i loved that book. i read some more letters. i read some letters each night before bed. just a few. i honestly think this was the first book i’ve ever deliberately paced myself on because it felt like it’d be better consumed slowly, like reading it all at once would ruin it.

i really liked it. not every letter to a stranger of course, some drew my interest more than others. but i just loved the concept. when i think of people who have been a part of my life in one way or another, i never think of strangers. friends, family, teachers, school peers, friends parents, bosses, coworkers, sports leaders/coaches, and so on and so forth, i think of them. but if you ask me about strangers, it’s definitely true some have stuck in my mind often without so much as a name.

When I was 15, I spent one night in the hospital for observation, I was in severe pain and felt miserable but there was a girl in the bed next to me who i remember thinking of as beautiful and falling slightly in love with her (that may have been the very strong pain meds they had me on but still). when morning came, her family came to visit, and her boyfriend. He kissed her and i remember feeling like ‘aw man...’ but then he called her Sharlina and i was like wow that’s a name as beautiful as she is, I’m going to write that down. And I did. And it’s still in my notes. The first name in a list I started of names I like. The name doesn’t particularly appeal to me now but then I remember her and I’m like never mind it’s still beautiful.

Across the room from me was a woman who’d just had kidney stones removed or something of the sort. She was feeling like shit, I remember. Her son had found her passed out and called 111. But in the middle of the night when I was throwing up painfully into a small hospital container she pulled back the curtain around my bed, asked if I wanted her to get a nurse, and patted me on the shoulder. She couldn’t even get up to use the bathroom earlier! But the second she heard a kid around her son’s age throwing up it was like fuck it, my pain is irrelevant, I’m going to help. I never forgot that act of kindness.

and that’s just one occasion. there’s been so many strangers that have a cemented place in my memory it’s wild. and i guess i also have a place in some people’s memory as a stranger who did x.

when i was walking home from high school when i was maybe 14 years old I was stopped by a little kid, maybe 6 or 7, who explained he was walking home from school but was a bit scared. I held his hand and walked with him in the opposite direction from my house talking about his day at school on the way to his house making sure he got there safely until his parents car pulled up alongside us and they took him home from there. i dunno if he’d remember that. it was a minor act on my part, no big deal for me. but it’s cases like that I guess I might’ve stuck for some people.

I know some people hate the idea of Being Known. But from this book I’m actually quite fond of some glimpses people may have caught of me and remembered. Not knowing my name, or anything about me, just that I was doing x once and it was weird or interesting enough that it stuck. I’ll never know any of that. They’ll never know me I imagine. But little fragments of me could exist in random strangers too. that’s a cool thought to me. maybe i’m the grown ass adult they saw jumping in puddles, or the one wearing weird ass neon pink leopard print sweatpants to a council meeting, or the one who couldn’t get a hearty mince pie out of the cafe shelf without spilling half of it on myself, or the person licking an ice block on the coldest day of winter, shivering. i have no clue what’d stick of my actions. but it’s a fun idea to me.

#the taxi driver at the airport who directed us to the competitor company in front bc that was etiquette that we didn't know #and they didn't care about a potential customer just the respect of the system #the time i got pushed through into a blood test place in a wheelchair and everyone else in the room jumped to their feet #and shifted everything out of the way so i could be wheeled through #without a word while moving. just a 'can i help?' after #the girl from high school who barely knew me but invited me to her home after school when it was raining and hers was closer than mine #whose mum was delighted to meet me despite not knowing a thing about me prior. a warmth #when i was a kid fishing off the wharf without much luck and a random stranger fishing there recommended luncheon to us #we got a roll of it for fishing every summer after that. it was far cheaper with more of it and it worked #one summer i was walking home from hs and it was ridiculously hot and a car pulled up alongside me and offered me a ride home #it was the parent of someone i went to primary school with who THOUGHT they recognised me. and wanted to help #the kid i talked to a few times when i worked in the local library who told me lots about dinosaurs each time he got books out #haha the group of bellydancers who took care of me during a christmas parade i rode my bike in #like it just goes on and on #could not tell you the name or anything more about 95% of these people! just random fragments interacting in my life #anyway. i really liked the book. made the world feel more connected less separated #letter to a stranger

Hello 👋 Can I pls request dating and jealousy headcanons for Choi Mujin and Do Gangjae with a gn reader? Thank you ❤️

A/n: Heyy! Thanks so much for the request <3 Hope you enjoy!! :)

Navigation

My name - MASTERLIST

~Choi Mujin

Has a photo of you in his wallet.

His name in your phone is something like “Mujin❤️”

Your name in his phone is your full name. (And probably where he met you). He forgets to change it.

His penthouse was really boring until you started sleeping over. Now it’s full of your stuff.

Pictures on the fridge. New mugs, blankets and pillows.

If you’re a collector, he’ll make room for your stuff - shelves, drawers, cabinets. Wherever you want to put your stuff.

He’s not usually one for PDA, but if someone’s flirting with you, suddenly he can’t get enough of it.

You have a hard time buying gifts for him, but he’ll be happy with whatever you give him. He’s just grateful for you.

He somehow always knows exactly what you want - even if you haven’t said anything.

Lets you tie his ties for him.

He can do it himself, he just likes being close to you.

Tries his best not to be jealous of people, but it happens often.

NOT good at telling you either. He’ll just stew silently, glaring.

His jealousy usually comes out when someone else puts their hands on you. Though it’s hard to tell whether he’s just protective or actually Jealous. It’s usually both.

Will resort to violence, even if you tell him not to.

Absolutely irrational when jealous.

A person touched your ass? Murder. Absolute Carnage.

You don’t have to reassure him that you love him, he knows. Though he does like hearing it.

If you’re younger than him, he gets jealous of the younger people you talk to.

Sometimes he thinks you’ll leave him for someone closer to your age.

You’ll reassure him with something silly like “well I’m into dilfs so…” or “I like old men, you’re fine” not older, old. It makes him laugh.

~Do Gangjae

Actually really insecure about your relationship.

He really thinks you’ll leave him with the first chance you get. Obviously that isn’t true though.

Gets jealous SO easily.

If you’re shopping together, he’ll get jealous of the staff that you speak to.

And If you’re into more than one gender, it’s 10x worse.

He’s definitely that partner that talks for you at a restaurant because he’s jealous of you talking to other people.

But if you scold him about it, he’ll stop.

Not good at apologizing for it, but he’ll try his best to show it.

You have to reassure him at least twice a day that you wouldn’t leave him for anyone else. That you could never love anyone else.

“that person was totally into you” “Baby, I promise that old lady was NOT into me”

Scary dog privileges, except he clings to you like a moth to a lamp.

Requires kisses 95% of the time.

Likes your fingers in his hair.

You take all of his shirts. It’s not like he wears them anyway.

Every time he comes home from work, you check him for wounds.

If he has any, you patch him up. He gushes at your kindness.

Obsessed with you.

If someone he kills has something you’d like, he’ll take it to give to you.

If you’re good at cooking, you’ll pack him lunch.

If you’re bad at cooking, he’ll eat your cooking regardless. He’s just happy because you made it.

I’d love to request a fake dating fic with Dico where the reader tries to make Bam jealous by fake dating Dico but falls for him in the process

Jealousy

Y/N hatches a plan to get back at Bam, and they know just the person to go along with it.

The idea was childish, but you were past handling this maturely. Funnily enough, the whole situation began with you falling for Bam. For the first few months you hung out with him and his friends, it was like you got cartoon heart eyes every time he walked in the room, and with the way he acted around you, there was no way he didn’t notice. In fact, he found your little crush on him hilarious and had no qualms about using it to mess with you. One minute he’d be playing all sweet, sorta playfully joking and flirting with you, and the next you’d be the target of whatever awful prank he had in mind. You tolerated it for a month or two, assuming it was maybe his weird little way of showing love, but it really started to get on your nerves, especially with the way he kept skirting around confirming or denying if he was interested in you in the first place. That’s how you got the idea.

The only one of Bam’s friends you knew would go along with this was Dico, so it was him who you called that night. Lying on top of your comforter, you perked up when he answered his phone, “Hey, dude!” You started, rolling over onto your back, “I got this great plan to fuck with Bam.” Not only would he do anything for the sake of a joke, you were willing to bet he had some beef against the guy too. The line was quiet before Bran spoke up, “Say no more- I’m in.” You went on to tell him about what had been going on between you and Bam, and how you thought the one thing to make him come to his senses and give you an answer would be seeing you with another guy, whether that meant Bam would be throwing himself at your feet and confessing his love for you or telling you to fuck off. “Oh, that’s perfect! He’s such a jealous ass- there’s no way this can’t work.”

After you and him spent the whole night discussing gross couples stuff you could do in his line of sight, you decided to implement step one of your plan to piss Bam off that weekend. Since it was summer, you and the guys would usually spend the weekends at FDR skatepark, even if the only ones who really skated were Bam and Novak. Still, hanging out under Interstate 95 was a good way to stay cool after someone, not naming names, ‘accidently’ put a hole in the Margera’s above ground pool that duct tape couldn’t fix. You know how there’s always a guy grilling at FDR? Well today Dico was that guy, cooking the burgers Ryan brought on a little red camping grill, his look complete with one of those cheesy “Kiss the Cook” aprons.

Bam couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw you snuggling close to, of all people, Dico. His arm held you close to his body and you giggled all cute to make it seem like you were laughing at something just out of Bam’s earshot. Did he fall into the Twilight Zone, or was he just so drunk that he was seeing things? Maybe it was some sort of heat exhaustion hallucination, because there was no way in hell this was actually happening. Given how easy he wa sto read,Bam’s gawking at the two of you was impossible to ignore, and once the two of you were satisfied with the reaction you were eliciting, you decided to kick it up a notch. You gave him the cue and Bran grabbed the bottle of ketchup off of the concrete with a snicker, popping open the cap and squirting some onto his fingers, holding it up to your lips like he was giving you a taste of what he was cooking. It was his idea for you to suck it off of his fingers, actually, sort of inspired by his Julia Childish bit he did for Don’t Feed Phill, and you really gave it your all, really licking and sucking at his digits until your lips popped off with a noise that echoed off the concrete that was second only to the sound of Bam’s jaw dropping.

The next thing you heard was this blunt packing noise and a, “Fuck!” Turning towards the commotion, you found Bam flat on his back, his board about twenty feet from him. Like a good best friend, Ryan was already jumping into the bowl to check on him. Peering over his sprawled out body, he held out a hand to help him up, “Shit dude…You alright?” Sitting up, Bam wobbled to his feet, rubbing the sore back of his head and brushing off the throbbing pain in his left arm, “Yeah. Just, uh- just ate shit. I’ll be fine.” The way he pretended to be so nonchalant was really quite satisfying to you and you couldn’t help but smirking a little. See, now would be the time for him to start hallucinating one of his bros getting fresh with you, after the head trauma, but no! Satisfied with your work, you and Dico sat back in half-broken lawn chairs Raab brought and ate your burgers, exchanging knowing glances between bites.

The next step of the plan was put into play in Bam’s basement while everyone was busy with his home arcade setup. You stood next to Dico, curiously peering at the match he was playing in Mortal Kombat with one arm around you, holding you close as you watched with big eyes as he executed a pretty impressive combo with Sub-Zero. All the other guys were too busy tapping away at their own games to notice anything was amiss- that is, except Bam, who was sitting on the couch with his left arm in a sling, glaring daggers at the two of you while Ryan, who sat on the other end of the couch, was filling him in about his ex girlfriend’s fancy new implants she paid for with lawsuit money, “I mean, I paid for those and I don’t even get to touch em’! Total bullshit.” Ignoring him, Bam gestured over to the bulgur display in front of him, keeping his voice quiet, “Hey, Ry. The fuck’s going on there? Those two’ve been hangin’ all over each other lately.” He didn’t seem to be as concerned with the very mild pda, and, unsatisfied with his lack of reaction Bam continued on his rant, “I’m just sayin- She’s all over for me for months, following me around like a puppy dog, and next thing I know, she’s dating Dico?” The way you giggled when his best friend leaned over and gave you a kiss on the cheek made his blood boil.

Ryan chuckled, bringing his beer to his lips, “Sounds like you’re a bit jealous. Should’ve fucked her while y’had the chance” Despite how obvious his jealousy was, Bam was very eager to deny it, “nah, nah- it’s not like that. You don’t get it.” Snickering, Ry playfully smacked him on the arm, “Yeah, I get it. You’re not sure if you want her or not but you certainly don’t want your buddy over there to have her.” Shooting a glance over to you and Bran all snuggled up in a scene straight out of a hallmark card, Bam rolled his eyes, “Oh, fuck you. Why’d I even talk to you about this anyhow…”

Bam decided to just come out and ask Dico about it, pulling him aside as everyone was getting ready to head out the door, “Hey, dude, what’s, uh- what’s goin’ on between you and Y/N?” Still pulling on his coat, he was obnoxiously nonchalant in reply, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man.” He tugged the bottom of his jacket down, “I just think they’re really cool and nice and funny, you know?” You said nothing. Thank god he and you had planned for this exact scenario- you really made sure you thought of everything. Still, Bam eyed you and him with suspicion, trailing after the two of you, “Oh, alright- yeah. I mean, is that it?” Pausing in the doorway, Bran turned back with a smirk to deliver the finishing blow to his ego, “Yeah. What’ re you, like- jealous or somethin’?”

After all this, the final straw was that night you all went out to the bar together, and if Bam thought he felt like a third wheel before, he really did now. Every time Dico played with your hair or made you laugh at another one of his stupid jokes, he felt the urge to reach over the bar and stab two little cocktail stirrers into his eyes. It’d keep him from staring at you like that, that’s for sure- like you were his. But he kept to himself, quietly seething in his little brooding bubble. It was a scene straight out of the discovery channel, with the two lions fighting over a wildebeest- no, a gazelle, because they’re prettier. Bam wondered what on earth was someone as hot as you doing with Dico? The two glared at each other over your head and you swear you saw his eye twitch when Bran flashed that shit eating grin when he ordered you a drink. If looks could kill, he would have dropped dead right then and there.

Part of you found the thought of being fought over by two guys kind of romantic, especially given who was fighting over you. Sure, this was all a bid to get Bam’s attention, but over the course of your little experiment, you had actually been growing closer to Dico. There was something so endearing and cute about his antics that you just couldn’t ignore, and even when you weren't trying to make Bam jealous, it sorta felt natural to hang out with each other more, and maybe you struggled to keep your hands off of each other from time to time but that didn’t mean anything, right? Hell, it was Dico's arm that still sat wrapped around your waist when out of nowhere, Bam suddenly grabbed you in a flash of anger and passion and pulled you into a kiss- one of those really needy, territorial, Jack Danniel’s tinged ones- like a soldier back from war. Surprised as you were, Bran chuckled at the scene in front of him, “Woah! Easy there, cowboy…” When he finally pulled away, you were left in a daze, a pink blush spreading across your cheeks as you finally got what you wanted.

Or you got what you thought you wanted, as you realized a few weeks into you officially dating Bam. For a while, it was everything you dreamed of, all late night sports car rides and rock concert dates with your big celebrity boyfriend. But when your car broke down in the dead of winter and he was the first person you called, all you got back was a voicemail, “Hey. S’Bam. Leave it after the beep.” After the third one you gave up on trying to appeal towards him and just hung up. Shivering from the cold that was slowly creeping in, your stiff fingers finally punched in Dico’s number as a last ditch effort. One ring, two rings, click. “Hey, Y/N! What’s up?” You were never happier to hear his voice, and a relieved smile spread across your face as you sighed, “Oh my god…my, uh- my car broke down- like, half an hour ago. Are you busy right now?” Breathing puffs of smoke onto your hands to keep them warm, you could hear the sounds of him pulling his jacket on. “Nah, just hangin’ out at Bam’s. I’ll be there in five.” So Bam wasn't that busy. Blinking hard, you made a mental note that he was totally dead later before hanging up.

It was as if a wave of relief washed over when you saw Dico’s beater car pull around the corner. Since the day he picked that thing up from the junkyard, you teased him about how he was on tv and still getting seen in the kinda car a divorced dad would drive, but you were never happier to dive into that hunk of junk (through the window, because the passenger side door was stuck). Warming your frigid hands by the half working vent, you shuddered, “Oh, you are a lifesaver!” Smiling, he shifted the car into gear while you buckled your seatbelt. “Hey, any time! I’ll always be there for you, man.” A little glimmer hit your eye at his promise and you could swear your heart was going to flutter out of your chest, “Always?”

“Yeah.”

[genlossneg]

thank you for this blog im boutta post a lot of my suffering in here enjoy the essay

I’m not a ranboo fan at all, i just heard about a cool horror project from a name i’m familiar with and i was excitedly waiting for perhaps a new kid on the block with cool content and the resources to do so. I’ve seen what people with three coins and a piece of lint can do out of passion, and so i expected that someone that has far more resources out of the gate would be able to really take it out of the park if they were equally as passionate. I’ll just grab a couple of points and elaborate.

Intentionally bad.

This is the poorest excuse for low quality content I’ve heard. Not a single self-respecting creative that actually cares about their project would make something ACTUALLY bad. Anytime you see something that’s intentionally bad and yet somehow beloved, look DEEPER. Because behind that veil of “bad” is actually often a HUGE amount of effort and care put into something a creator cared about. 

Intentionally bad content is still made with the intention to be fun to watch, to be entertaining. There is very little entertainment found in any of the genloss bad content.

Lack of horror content

The main excuses i’ve seen is that they were scared of Twitch TOS, to which I say lolwhat. You had two whole years to contact twitch and talk it out with them and figure out what part of your project and show would fly and what wouldn’t, and instead you opted to really cut out any horror aspect at all for fear of being banned on twitch? And even then, content more gorey and disturbing than this is allowed on twitch. If Until Dawn flies on twitch, I think gen loss could have gone wilder.

And if they REALLY didn’t want to risk it, for the love of god at least be creative with your attempts to circumvent it? The goofy poor editing of the red in ep2 during the surgery sequence took me out of it entirely and confused me so much. You know what they could’ve done? TURNED THE LIGHTING A STARK RED. THAT’S IT. THE MOST BASIC THING, TO AT LEAST REALLY GET ACROSS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

The acting

I was a theatre kid in highschool and let me tell you even the 13 year olds acted with more passion and devotion to the role than 95% of the cast in gen loss. Even during improv. You can tell that there is basically no script to gen loss and that its purely “X will happen then Y will happen and we need to fill it with conversation and improv” with zero direction on tone or anything. It was so painful seeing how little effort had gone into the acting. Ranboo can’t act for shit and should have gone through some acting classes before taking on a live show. The only ones that were visibly trying were charlie and jerma and the people who were frozen robots during ep3 (because as someone who had to stay frozen in pose hours on end for a play while on-stage, that shit is HARD)

Hetch’s acting was even more laughable, and his fakeout death was… something. An incredibly cartoonish “uguguhh” exiting his mouth- really? Also It was so frustrating to have his voice come from seemingly nowhere. There was no source to his voice.

It sucked so much seeing ranboo actually TRY to be better in his acting in episode 3 because when he suddenly started being intense it felt WRONG and out of character, because there was no natural leadup to him being like that. ep 1 and 2 were so bad that even when ep 3 was better it felt disappointing.

Lighting

Its already been mentioned by film student anon that the lighting is such a huge amateur mistake but I want to touch upon the creative aspect of the lighting a little more.

There was such an utter lack of using colored lighting to really set tones in scenes and it SUCKED. Like, already with the lack of outright horror blood and gore, they NEEDED creative lighting to at least intensify scenes! Add some damn flickering lights! Green lighting? Something- anything. Again, TEENAGERS have been more creative with lighting in a performance and all they had was four colors to work with and nothing fancy.

Camerawork

I wish they would have actually done good camera work. Set up some cameras in locations and acted in front of them instead of having someone follow ranboo around and having some “lore” explanation for it that makes little sense. Having moving cameras that are shaky and constantly cutting people frame-wise is just not pleasant to watch and does not add anything useful. On top of the camera quality jarringly changing between shots constantly it just… ruined the flow. 

in ep3, we had an explanation for why there’s a camera following ranboo, and we got some REALLY COOL ESTABLISHING SHOTS THAT…. made no sense in lore. Why would the “drone” following ranboo take establishing shots? It’s supposed to follow ranboo- but then later it gets dismissed and we suddenly have sharp camera cuts to what im guessing was a prerecorded scene due to the camera quality change and it just felt. So sudden and jarring? Like okay you just dismissed the camera and now we suddenly get a different non-canon camera because they remembered we actually need to still see whats happening.

Lore/Story

The lore and story we have gotten so far is so scatterbrained and nonsensical. + knowing that this project isn’t actually what gen loss was supposed to be (which: Why are you advertising it as gen loss then, ranboo? You’re just staining the name of your passion project). So much of genloss is in the “I guess” category of why things happened. But the consistensy also felt so off. From what I understand, Charlie is the slime demon, and was the guy on the gurney, and was also in ep 3 as  himself. And all those other versions WERE the ep3 charlie. How? Charlie died? twice? According to what has happened? But he’s alive anyway at the end until he gets killed again by a cheap backrooms monster? But supposedly everyone else did actually die? 

I just. Genuinely do not understand what the story here was. What the point was of everything. I’m not gonna ask who the characters were because the characters were just the streamers and nothing special or new. If you know the streamer, thats the “character”. It’s just godawful writing.

Viewer interaction

Viewer interaction was pointless and didn’t matter. Either every choice the viewers made was gonna happen anyway, or ranboo decided to ignore it lol. It felt like there was no impact to viewers doing anything to influence the show and the show probably would have been largely better had viewer interaction not been a thing at all.

also idk maybe making ranboo’s “character” aware of the audience from the get go would have been more fun as they could’ve been trying to get the audience to do anything while we’re just watching quietly. And they could’ve gotten more and more desperate with the audience as things went on. But then again that requires actual acting skills that ranboo barely has.

Just as some final words, this really feels like a case of someone who has never done anything like this thinking they can do this because they’re famous and well-liked online. I know ranboo makes a lot of money, so they certainly had enough money to make something good. Take some film classes or acting classes. Instead they became overambitious and made just a generally unpleasant show that is not going to make me want to watch any future gen loss content in good faith.

The entire show depends on going “MY STREAMER!!! THATS MY STREAMER!!!” and would not survive on its own merit. The hype towards gen loss was misleading on what it’d be, and the fans made amazing fanart that does not live up to the reality of what they got and i feel genuinely sad for them. The fanbase made a better interpretation of what gen loss is WITHOUT EVEN NEEDING GEN LOSS TO BE OFFICIALLY RELEASED.

also a final thing about the merch but why is the merch so bad lol. Its such boring design. The gen loss logo appears barely anywhere in the show itself. The fans could’ve had some sort of cool merch, like masks based off of ranboo’s mask and the showfall robot masks. Shirts and merch based off of the slime demon and warehouse master. 

Anyway sorry for the huge wall of text I have just been going insane abt this to my friend in dms enjoy

————————————————–

i could probably spend hours responding to all of this! thank you for the mini essay, you make a ton of great points. i really sympathize with the “not a ranboo fan” stance because my friends are way more fans of him than i am, and were way invested.

i personally haven’t heard any “it’s supposed to be bad!” defenses but i can totally believe there are people like that out there lol. i definitely in the “there’s no entertainment when it’s bad”. you’re entirely right about the lack of horror! i was so confused after the first stream and everyone was like “it’s not supposed to be horror yet! you don’t understand!” and then it took until the 3rd stream for anything significant to even happen, and even then it was weak.

charlie and jerma did so much for gen loss man, ranboo’s acting was just.. not that great and when it was, it felt so jarring. more interesting lighting would’ve been so fun! so much could’ve been done with that, and that’s especially clear when they switch cameras because they had the ability to film this incredibly and just.. didn’t. i feel like we didn’t get so much lore that we should have, especially with how long the streams were. i hope we get something clearer later on.

the idea of him being aware of chat the whole time would be cool, but idk if it would’ve worked with the “brainwashed” thing he was doing. overall i agree - gen loss was super hyped up and in this form, it didn’t live up to it as well as it could have. once again, ty for the mini-essay, it was a great read!

Black Peter pt 1

Haven't heard of this one either. Let's hope that's down to the fact it's a later story and not because it isn't popular anymore because of *looks at title* reasons.

I have never known my friend to be in better form, both mental and physical, than in the year '95.

Watson does keep waxing poetic about the year 1895. Must have been an epic year.

Holmes, however, like all great artists, lived for his art's sake, and, save in the case of the Duke of Holdernesse, I have seldom known him claim any large reward for his inestimable services.

Do we know the Duke of Holdernesse? I don't remember his name. How rude was he to Holmes that Holmes took his money? I feel like that must be arsehole tax.

So unworldly was he—or so capricious—that he frequently refused his help to the powerful and wealthy where the problem made no appeal to his sympathies...

More evidence for the Sherlock Holmes hates the rich theory. It's not that he's unworldly or capricious, Watson, it's that usually they're the bad guys (please see King of Bohemia). Not to put modern biases on a historical fictional character or anything.

down to his arrest of Wilson, the notorious canary-trainer

What did he train the canaries to do?

Was it, like, an entire hoard of pickpocketing birds?

Did they murder people for him? What?

Google tells me it might have been a euphemism for brothel-keeper. Or a singing teacher. So... honestly that story could go any number of ways. I think I'll stick to actual canaries, though. Probably in Canary Wharf.

During the first week of July my friend had been absent so often and so long from our lodgings that I knew he had something on hand. The fact that several rough-looking men called during that time and inquired for Captain Basil...

Watson pining at home while Holmes is out with rough-looking men and having them call him Captain...

...made me understand that Holmes was working somewhere under one of the numerous disguises and names with which he concealed his own formidable identity.

Honestly, I feel like this is character development. Before Watson would have just been 'Holmes is away' and 'Who is Captain Basil?', two entirely separate lines of thought. Now he has connected the dots. Proud of you, buddy!

...he strode into the room, his hat upon his head and a huge barbed-headed spear tucked like an umbrella under his arm.

“If you could have looked into Allardyce's back shop you would have seen a dead pig swung from a hook in the ceiling, and a gentleman in his shirt-sleeves furiously stabbing at it with this weapon. I was that energetic person, and I have satisfied myself that by no exertion of my strength can I transfix the pig with a single blow."

Everyone needs a hobby.

I recognised him at once as Stanley Hopkins, a young police inspector for whose future Holmes had high hopes...

Oh hai, Hopkins!

"However, my friend Dr. Watson knows nothing of this matter, and I should be none the worse for hearing the sequence of events once more."

For the sake of Watson and us, the invisible audience, please to be info-dumping exposition policeman!

"In 1883 he commanded the steam sealer Sea Unicorn, of Dundee."

"He has been known to drive his wife and his daughter out of doors in the middle of the night, and flog them through the park until the whole village outside the gates was aroused by their screams."

Can't say I'm entirely sorry Captain Carey is dead. In fact, maybe just chalk this up as self-inflicted and leave it at that. Whoever did it probably had a good reason.

However, the nickname doesn't seem to really be racist, so that's better than it could have been. Swarthy, as far as I'm aware, refers to tanned/weather beaten skin usually, which makes sense for a longtime sailor.

"He had built himself a wooden outhouse—he always called it ‘the cabin’—a few hundred yards from his house, and it was here that he slept every night. It was a little, single-roomed hut, sixteen feet by ten."

The original man cave?

The description of him is not crying out the sort of man who would keep tobacco on hand just in case his friends wanted some. It's not crying out the sort of man who has friends, for a start.

“Exactly, Mr. Holmes. I appreciated that point, and I conjectured that it was dropped by the murderer in his hurried flight. It lay near the door.”

Hopkins really is the smartest of the police officers we've met. And I still haven't noticed Watson comparing him to an animal.

So we have a terrible man killed by a harpoon in his man cave and no one noticed for ages because no one wanted to talk to him. I'm kind of hoping that all the women were in on it and they just... harpooned him together.

I STARTED WOLF359 SEASON 2 AND FOUND SOMEONE I HATE MORE THAN HILBERT! (Or: my reaction to episodes 14-20 of WOLF359).

Gonna keep my intro for this one short and just dive right into it.

Tagging the mutuals who got me invested in this, and if you want to be tagged or untagged from these posts, lmk, or you can follow my blog or simply follow the tag "#bods wolf359 reactions". Anyone who has followed me for a while knows my updates are inconsistent, so I apologize in advance for that. And for any spelling/grammar mistakes in my posts.

@sophieswundergarten @oflightningandstars @acollectionofcuriousreblogs

Episode 14: The Kambaya Approach

Um… keyboard clicks and music?? WHO IS THIS? Goddard Futuristics? Who is David? Who is Saul? Rachel? WHY ARE YOU THREATENING TO THROW RACHEL OFF A BUILDING?

Ah a telephone! Could it be our crew?

Oh so THIS is Cutter. Who seems to be Hilbert’s boss. Don’t like him. Oh no did Hilbert find a way to contact him?

Oh now THERE is the telephone sound I heard at the end of last episode.

Renee? Oh so that’s her name. It’s a nice name. But I would prefer you called her “Commander Mincowski” Cutter. Give her respect, and stop acting so chipper. It’s easy to be that confident when you’re not the one in space.

And what kind of boss makes his employees work on Christmas or the day after?

Oh cool Hilbert’s name is Alexander? Wow, so cool, ✨I don’t care✨.

Cutter really seems to love the supervillain monologue. Yeah Doug, good call don’t tell them about the signal…

OH HE’S TRYING TO TEAR THEM APART. SHUT IT CUTTER. WHATEVER SECRETS MINCOWSKI AND HERA HAVE ARE NOTHING ON YOUR TOMFOOLERY.

Incredible. I did not think it was possible for me to hate someone as much as Hilbert so quickly, but he did it! Less than six minutes into season 2, and by golly Mr. Cutter did it! Round of applause for him ladies and gentlemen, truly despicable, I hope he gets his karma.

A complete waste of space. Horrible loser man.

Why do I not believe they’re actually on hold? Mincowski, please listen to him. But Doug get to the point: HILBERT WAS TRYING TO CONTACT CUTTER. HE LITERALLY SAID THAT.

Just pretend like Hilbert went insane.

YES! Taking my advice, smart play, smart play, act like you know nothing, tell them info they’d already know or could easily deduce anyway.

…Cutter. Stop calling her Renee! And stop being like this! What in the supervillain nonsense?

Oh money, of course it’s about money. And the backhanded compliments. OF COURSE DOUG IS THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB HE’S THE ONLY OTHER MAN ABOARD.

Cutter man, your laugh… I picture him in a high school uniform kicking his feet in the air on his bed as he giggles to himself like an evil little schoolboy. “Hee hee hee I’m killing people in space 🤩” … shut up Cutter.

Okay. So. I know I wanted Hilbert to die earlier. But um… I think I might want Cutter to die more. Yeah… I’d be careful with what you transmit to Cutter. VERY careful.

Oh he knows. Doug he knows. You’re screwed. You’re… you’re completely done for.

Aw, Renee has a cute laugh. She’s nice. At least she and Doug are getting along.

But… will it be easy to get Hera back online? It’d better be. They better save her.

“No I’m not.” GOOD FOR YOU RENEE! Get something out of Hilbert. And yeah, watch the programming. Make sure if you DO get her back online that Hilbert can’t influence her.

Cutter’s instructions are BS… or wait! Is that Hera? Please be Hera.

Oh it’s the voices! It sounds like the echo in an indoor swimming pool.

“I don’t know who you are. I know you have no reason to believe anything that I’m about to say, and I know there’s nothing I can do to prove to you that this isn’t some kind of trick. But please believe me for your own sake”.

Solid start.

CAPTAIN ISABEL LOVELACE! I KNEW IT! Wait is it Lovelace or loveless??? Guess I’ll find out.

Oh the Hephaestus… but… WAIT. Are they in a time vortex? Are they getting signals from the past? Because Lovelace’s mission is over, her lab is sealed off. 955 days ago, okay, so longer than their mission, and a bigger crew too, 5 people plus Lovelace. And yeah, we got the lying thing down. and… yeah the “never make it back to earth” was also quite clear and VERY unethical. They played Hilbert like a fiddle. For a smart man, he’s far too trusting. Cutter was probably planning to shoot him the second he landed.

Communications and science officer got sick? Uh… sick from what? The astrophysicist just VANISHED? Okay… that doesn’t happen. It’s space! Where exactly could he go?

One thing is clear. These aren’t missions. They’re trials. The crew are lab rats. Though I must say, this is a very poorly designed experiment. What on earth are they even testing?

Oh right, Dr. Selburg. Wait. No. The spiders!

…but why would they be experimenting with that? If my crew was dead, and I found out I was sent to die, and I was in that situation, my first thought would not be “bummer. Oh well. Guess it’s time to make some poison spiders grow 🥰”. I honestly don’t know WHAT I’d do in that situation, but I can promise you, it wouldn’t be that.

And who is “THEY”? Command? And what something else??? THE EMPTY MAN?

Are… are the crews connected across time and space? Are they each other’s empty man? No, that wouldn’t match the messages’ warnings. Would be cool though.

“You’re not the first. We were here. Get out before it’s too late for you too.”

Poor Lovelace. And we never do find out what happens. Also Hilbert talked about a lot of other missions, implying that there were more AND that he was on them and somehow made it out alive.

Was he the astrophysicist that vanished?

Also the empty man messages: “There’s no way out…but there is a way in.” In where? Where are they supposed to go if they can’t get out?

Yikes. I guess that’s it then.

Episode 15: What’s Up Doc?

I like the title. Let’s see how the dear old doctor is doing. Perhaps he’ll be more cooperative when he finds out that his boss ordered his demise. But I doubt it.

Ah. Doug’s logs. Might want to be careful with what you say. Day 583.

Red menace’s damage to our autopilot 😂 Good to see Doug has his sense of humor. I think he’s gonna need it.

51 systems with glitches? You need Hera.

He’s playing chess? Well, looks like Doug and I have procrastination in common.

I’d hate playing any game with Hilbert. Chess or otherwise.

Huh. They don’t even have a record of Isabel Lovelace in the air force. Unless… wait crazy theory time: if time warping is a part of this, maybe Isabel is from a FUTURE crew of the Hephaestus not the past. It’s a possibility.

Also side note, but anytime I share literally any of my theories from this show, I get tons of comments that say things like “grinning like the Cheshire Cat right now”. Which is funny, because I do that when I read comments on my fanfics, and that grin usually means one thing: you found the pieces. You have all the pieces. But you won’t put them together and you won’t realize what they mean until it’s too late. I hope that’s not the case here. And if you’re Sophie please disregard this. And to the other TMBS mutuals, if you’re still reading my stuff, please disregard this.

Mincowski knows about Lovelace! Oh she doesn’t remember hearing the name in the lab. Wait… can they not remember the lab?

Yeah, we might want to isolate Hilbert a bit more. Maybe a few more days.

Oh dear. “Don’t get distracted”. Doug, please tell me you brought some adderall on board.

YOU DID MURDER HERA HILBERT. HOW DARE YOU CALL HER A PROGRAM? AND YOU ATTEMPTED TO MURDER YOUR OTHER CREW MATES FOR A MAN WHO JUST ORDERED YOUR EXECUTION.

APPLIANCE?? He’s calling her an APPLIANCE? Hilbert. You better start coughing up some info.

Haha… her imitation of his accent 😂

Apple! 😋 I love apples. 🍎 Just the thing for my hypoglycemia. Nature’s instant sugar. You might want to consider the offer Hilbert. After going days without food, you should be craving something sugary right about now.

NOW HE’S CALLING DOUG A PET MONKEY? THAT IS IT. EAT THE APPLE IN FRONT OF HIM MINCOWSKI. HE DOESN’T DESERVE IT.

On that note, I just remembered I sliced myself up an apple earlier in the fridge. Bods’ snack time! 🥰

Don’t like how confident Hilbert is about the airlock. … oh Hilbert using it as leverage.

You can still be tortured Hilbert. Slowly and painfully tortured.

“You break me? You have no idea who I am what I have done what I have endured”.

Well, we know you’re a murderous loser and pawn Hilbert. Perhaps you shouldn’t overestimate yourself.

HOW DARE YOU CALL MINCOWSKI A COWARD? HE’S IMPLYING THE WHOLE REASON SHE’D JOIN THE ARMY IS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO KILL BUT DOESN’T HAVE THE GUTS?

Uh Hilbert man wtf is up with your world view?

“No one who matters ends up in a place like this one”

Self-esteem issues doctor?

Also what was THAT? Doug? Empty man? Blessie?

No. Doug do not. Do not. He’s running experiments on you. He’s probably been waiting for this.

He’s annoying him to death. I love it 😂.

The good times? When you tried to kill each other?

Afraid of folks back home? Now that might actually be something. And yeah, they have been lying to you.

The truth about how you ended up here? Oh was I right? Did he do crimes?

Hilbert, I think that she’d respect Doug more than you. I certainly do.

Okay good, he didn’t murder anyone. Nice to know.

Hard drive? Oh right his secret experiments.

And he probably has more backups somewhere. But for the ones we have…

✨It’s Hammer Time ✨

He’s a geneticist? Why just question this now?

Radioactively charged microbes make more soap products… is soap products a code for something.

Renee. RENEE. You are on point, but… Doug is a friend.

Mission on the ship? Wolf359 unique energy signal different from other stars. Properties used for mutations… viruses?

Doug, Hilbert doesn’t strike me as the cancer curing type.

Man made retrovirus? Reverse cellular damage? That’s huge. Theoretically… it could reverse aging… and death.

Decima is “unmanageable”?? “Active environment??” HIS BLOOD STREAM?

That is VERY illegal. You used your colleague as incubator for your pet virus? And no. No apples for you doctor. You don’t deserve apples. Apples are for people who don't do unethical science on their friends!

Episode 16: Painfully Ever After

This one is not going to be as detailed because I'm also half doing work, but I have no self control and need to know more.

...My goodness I really AM like Eiffel. I think it's the ADHD. Let's blame that.

Also..."navigation off by a few clicks...probably not important".

Um...not critical maybe, but why is navigation off? Don't think you can just slip little details like that in there and not expect me to notice. Don't think you can use my own schemes against me.

Remember when Mincowski nearly shot Hilbert over ice cream? Those were the days...

Man this apple is delicious 😋🍎.

And yeah. No painfully ever after. We still have several seasons left. We need Hera!

I agree about the math Eiffel. I got a test coming up. I should be studying, but this is clearly more important.

Ugh. Don't give Hilbert food. Not a lot at least and not the good stuff. Just enough to keep him alive. Barely anything. I want him to be nothing but skin and bones.

Don't like the ominous music.

Everyone has their limits...oh good point! Hilbert needed a fail safe plan. DO NOT SHUT THE DOOR. DO NOT TALK TO HIM.

DON'T LET HIM FIX HERA HE'S GOING TO HURT HER CODE. EXACTLY! HE IS GOING TO TRY SOMETHING! AND I'D BE A LITTLE PARANOID TOO IF EVERYONE AROUND ME HAD SO MANY SECRETS!

"I'd do anything to help get her back online again, but I'm not letting him mess around in her mind again. She deserves better" / "Yes she does" 🥺

Hera! You need to come back! You need to know that your friends care about you!

...and...and I really hope Cutter isn't already doing anything to her to make her betray them. I really hope so.

Cranial reconstruction surgery? Wow, they really did model her after a human brain. Dangerous move.

And Hilbert. Dude. Lack of trust? You. Tried. To. Murder. Everyone. On. Board.

Why would they trust you?

"Tell me you're not still obsessing over your experimental exposure, as long as I maintain it's dormancy, you have nothing to worry about." Oh great. I can't tell you how many times I've read or heard in fiction that as long as X doesn't happen, then Y won't happen, and X is such a low probability it probably isn't even worth worrying about.

Sure, what could possibly go wrong? It's just a teeny tiny itty bitty baby killer virus 🦠🥺 all it wants to do is swim around in Doug's blood stream and not make any trouble I'm sure.

Improve the lives of millions? Uh, Hilbert. What exactly is your definition of improvement?

Yeah...how was command aware of alien life? What made them want to look for that?

"Survival depends on never ever keeping information from Mr. Cutter"

...

Oh dear.

And what does Mr. Cutter want with aliens? Probably to kill them, that seems to be a hobby of his. I guess he got bored of killing members of his own species and animals from his own planet so he decided to set his sights farther afield.

CHANGES IN PROGRAM? But...what about Hera? The Hera that's our friend? ...don't like that noise... REALLY don't like that noise.

HILBERT WHAT DID YOU DO?

HILBERT WHAT DID YOU DO?

HILBERT. YOU IDIOT. YOU BUFFOON. YOU USELESS DUM-DUM.

Wait.

HERA!!!!!!!!

She's alive 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

YIPPIE!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Hm. Looks likes Hera's back. A bit more sarcastic, but she's back. And yeah, get Hilbert away.

Hera saved them! I knew she could do it! 🥰

Glad alpha victor is deleted. But we should keep the gag on. He could have more code.

Good job captain. Use those direct orders!

Something to write with? Oh boy...what on earth has Hilbert been doing?

“I missed you.” Aw. “ I wanna hang out with you and talk”. Aw. See Hera. They do care. 🥺 Aw he's sleeping. 😴 Goodnight Doug. Hopefully there will be answers in the morning.

Episode 17: Bach to the Future

I like the title. Does this mean the music is coming back?

Yeah Hilbert. Have a good long think about what you've done.

Wait are they...bored? Bored because there is no crisis? But there's like a thousand mysteries on board on the ship.

"It's like someone moved everything off just a tiny bit...so small that you don't even notice anything's off until you try to find something, and then you can't find anything".

Why do I think that's not just a metaphor for Hera's brain?

Star charts? Why do I think those might not be harmless?

Rock climbing and trail hiking are good hobbies. And... yeah a bit odd she has a husband she hasn't seen in over a year and hasn't told any of them about.

HERA 😂. "I though that was a typo".

Mr. Kodeleka? (I think that's the spelling). Foreign correspondent for the globe?

Oh dear. Oh Mincowski. This is so sad. She needs to get home now. 💔

More music! 🎶📻

Aw, Hera. 🥰 I love watching them become better friends.

Why DID they send you up here? Something to keep him occupied? Keep him from being bored? What IS his job? Dying, but what else?

...not all superintelligences are created equal. And who made you randomized? Wait you did psych evals and behavioral tests? That's a lot emotionally for the first six months of your existence. Even if you have adult superintelligence auto-established, you still don't have experience using it. Or practice controlling your emotions. In a lot of ways, you’re still just a kid. A baby even.

Hera...Hera what happened to you? No, Hera you and Doug matter so much. Wait was Hera crying?

Oh yeah the music? Bach...and yeah Doug she has recording capabilities. She could play that back easily. You lost.

Only one star? Glessee 163? 46 light years away from current position? Red dwarf, similar to Wolf359? Interesting...

Did they send a different crew to 163?

555? Oh finally one she doesn't know! "Good communication habits. Be in touch with other crewmembers."

Bet over. Wow. Doug has really been holding that in.

Haha...oh dear. 59 mins 29 sec. Poor Doug. Close but no cigar. Ha, exactly.

Oh dear. Doug has broken. Hilbert ugh why is he still on the line?

Episode 18: Happy To Be Of Assistance

"Why was it that easy to kill everyone! I never thought it would be that easy!"

...uh Hera? Why were you thinking about it at all? Did Cutter do something to you? Are you trying to kill them and like...dragging your...hypothetical feet about it?

Oh good the hidden lab.

...hopefully the spiders are dead...

And hopefully this is where they FINALLY remember who Lovelace is.

Alien Mothership? Advanced scout? Back of head and under tentacles? Is this a joke? Oh it is. I like her.

Lambert? Who is this?

Day 97, early in the mission then. So who is the crew? Dr. Selburg. Dr. Who and Who? Officer Fischer? Okay so Lambert is communications? Reya? Oh so that's their AI. But it looks like she just beeps.

Ha their reactions to Lovelace😂

Yeah they have a lot of crew. Gen0 AI? Hm.

Day 383. Wait WHOSE PROJECTIONS WERE OFF? (Hilbert?)

Day 435. Selburg again. Oh Fischer is dead. Oh dear. Weird that Hilbert isn't mentioned when he had other missions. I wonder what name he was using.

Yeah...Day 944...so they left them? Weird that the timelines don't match up.

Oh wow...when they are in the room Hera can't even tell who she's speaking too. Unless...yeah something's up.

More Lovelace: At night when alone? Noise in the walls? Um...Blessie? Empty man? Anyone?

Another crew member died. Oh dear. It seems Dr. Selburg survived a good while. I hope that's not Hilbert's alias.

Oh. The crew member who died. He had a family too. 🥺.

Cutter needs to be ended.

Lovelace, I don't think Goddard Futuristics ever cared to begin with. Sam Lambert. So that's his name.

Run and hide? Dr. Selburg and Lovelace have a way off? Um...maybe don't tell them that. But I love the attitude.

Eiffel, this seems like a bit of a happy attitude, if they got away, then um... where are they now?

A message for who?

I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. OH I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT IT'S SELBURG BUT ALSO HILBERT ISN'T IT AND HE TOTALLY MURDERED LOVELACE OH HE IS SO GETTING TOSSED OUT THE AIRLOCK NOW!

Oh I do not have time for one more episode...but... dang it I just saw the title. I have to know. First I'm gonna listen to Goodbye Earl by the Dixie Chicks to pump myself up.

One moment please.

Episode 19: Let's Kill Hilbert

And...we're back! Now it's time to say goodbye to our crazy science friend. Adios Hilbert you will not be missed! 👋 First we toss you out the airlock, and then it's back to earth to finish off Mr. Cutter and company!

Does Hilbert know enough to justify keeping him on board? The real question is: will he share enough?

And listen to Hera. She might have things she's trying to tell you as best she can.

Hera...oh Hera has PTSD. Oh dear Hera.

Um... is she trying to kill them? In comedically obvious ways so that they notice? No wonder she needs Hilbert dead, what if he gave her bad code again? Or maybe she’s just experiencing trauma.

Mincowski! No! She's trying to save you! Please just throw Hilbert out the airlock, I listened to Dixie Chicks for this! I hyped myself up!

Did Hera just say "I'm dead?"

Hera. Hera are you trying to kill Doug? Doug, I trust Hera too, but I do not trust Hilbert! Okay...looks like we're good...

Never mind.

Eiffel. What is happening? Are you on laughing gas? Are you being drugged? Oh dear. Hera what did you do?

Wait. Why is HE losing air? Hera...were you trying to kill Hilbert?

Do machines dream electric sheep? Was that Hilbert? What happened to Hilbert? OH NO.

"You're going to unplug me anyway at least I can do this for the two of you" oh Hera 🥺

I love it. Save our moron!

And everyone's okay.

Doug knows Hera's there. Aw, he's making her feel better. And she's back! 🥰

Wait. What about Hilbert? What about interrogating him about being the other doctor guy? What about killing him? Man, what a bummer.

Oh well. we can always hope. Maybe next time he can finally die. Or at least give us some information.

Episode 20: The Paranoia Game

I really should not be listening to more, but I have an exam tomorrow, and nothing gets me motivated like good old procrastination. Besides, it's not like I had much of a chance on that thing anyway. Oh, I mean, um: Don't listen to me kids, studying is important. But you'll understand if you get to certain level of school at a certain age. You discover that some things that you thought were bad and confusing are actually much more bad and confusing than you could have ever imagined.

Anyway, let's get into it.

Oh good some info on Hilbert's past missions. Hilbert it is ABSOLUTELY relevant. You were experimenting on humans without their consent!

Lovelace was incinerated? Hilbert, for your sake, you better hope that's not true.

Who is listening to this?

Oh dear Hilbert is out of his cage. And YES the handcuffs are necessary. Hilbert has some nerve asking these questions.

"Why am I in cuffs. Seriously all I did was try to kill you. So dramatic🙄"

Irregularity in backup life support? What was that?

Screwdriver is missing. Huh. I wonder where it could have gone...check his pockets.

But then there is the empty man...and Blessie...

Shut up Hilbert. You had someone else help you get the screwdriver. The invisible empty man or someone else. Your promises mean NOTHING Hilbert.

✨ Nooooooooooooo... ✨

Oh you know who took it do you Hilbert? BLAMING THE ROBOT? She has a NAME Hilbert. And if she wanted you dead, she could do that in much worse ways than stealing the screw driver.

"Everything is always Hilbert's fault"

IT KIND OF IS HILBERT WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO GET ON YOUR HIGH "I WOULD NEVER STEAL A SCREW DRIVER HORSE" YOU TRIED TO MURDER EVERYONE.

And do you REALLY think even IF Hera did this, that her whole plan is gonna go like this: "Well we were cool with Hilbert being on board earlier, but GASP! a stolen screwdriver? I can deal with multiple counts of attempted murder and unethical experimentation, but this is simply a bridge too far. TO THE AIRLOCK!"

Yeah. And also. How does she steal the screw driver?

Oh goodness. She is the brains you are...not brains.😂

Hilbert. YOU are the one involved in a conspiracy. You're seeing plots where there aren't any. I guess the old saying is true. The wicked run from no one.

"How do you like that" "I like it just fine"

...no comment.

Oh poor commander. I hope they didn't...

...oh they did.

Good heavens. Have you all forgotten about Blessie? Have you all forgotten about the empty man?

"Mistake Eiffel was going to make"..."Evil plan Hilbert was cooking up" PLEASE 😂😂😂

I love that these are the same voice actor. It makes in 20x funnier too.

The perfect crime? Do you know how crazy you sound?

Poor Mincowski. She needs to go back home and be with her husband. After all this she deserves it.

Hilbert. It involves Large powerful magnet. 😂😂🧲

Yes PLEASE put your clothes back on. Good heavens.

Ah yes. Those sounds. PLEASE question them.

What if we are not the only ones here? FINALLY. Hilbert, I don't like you but at least we're getting to...wait Hera I thought you did detect something moving about earlier.

WHAT IS GOING FOR THE TOOL BOX?

Tentacle with a flower? Of course, Percival B. Eternal, you silly goof!

But uh...why would it want a screw driver? EXACTLY! It is a bad thing! Why has no one been asking more questions about this?

Well hopefully we'll FINALLY get more of dear Blessie. Thank you for listening to my reactions my friends. I'm enjoying season 2, and hope to have more for you soon. Bye-bye.

[bogkeep]

look, the kingkiller chronicle (the name of the wind + a wise man's fear, by patrick rothfuss) is not a perfect series or anything, i love it a lot but i have Opinions - but. it IS one of those book series that's lodged itself very deeply into my brain for better and for worse. it lives there now, along with animorphs (a series i haven't read since i was a preteen) and some other friends. you know how it is!!

anyway every now i think about a Thing from kkc and it's like. i need to talk about this. i don't know who to talk about this to. hence: my blog. and usually the thing i need to talk about is the adem. for those who haven't read kkc, the adem is one of the people's in this fantasy setting. their country and culture is very isolationist, their only export are mercenaries (Very Good Mercenaries Who Know Martial Art Secrets), they have a very different culture than the rest of the continent and therefore come across as very strange and mysterious. from a worldbuilding perpective, i think the adem are super cool. i love that rothfuss really leaned into developing a very different culture, even if there's... Some Things That Do Not Scan.

in the story, we find out that their culture is matriarchal, and they consider their women to be better fighters than their men. in fact, we find out they regard men as lesser because they don't realize that men contribute to uh, the creation of children. their culture is very big on casual sex and i don't think they do marriages or pairings like that at all, so their belief is that women Just Get Pregnant Sometimes! which is a fresh and fascinating take on the fantasy trope of "hmm how would a matriarchal society work" but ALSO. also. this would not happen. this could not happen in a world where queer people exist. there are canonically gay and bi people in these books. obviously i was reading this as a baby ace and was like HMMMMMMMM DOUBT. i cannot suspend my disbelief enough to think that every single woman in ademre would want to have (cisheterosexual) intercourse frequently enough for this to be a believable assumption, especially if there's no societal pressure to do it for reproduction!!! IT SIMPLY DOES NOT SCAN.

like, it's not that i'm a stranger to fiction ignoring the fact that Maybe Not Everyone In The World Wants Sex, that's kind of the eternal background noise of 95% of all media. i think maybe this one instance drives me nuts because from an aro perspective, i LOVE some funky fresh Alternative Family Structure worldbuilding and separating sex from romance. but then the sex thing. this whole thing is like.... an aro W but an ace L. it made it so far and then fell flat on its face. screams!!!!

THIS WASN'T EVEN THE THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THOUGH. i just can't bring up the adem without talking about What The Fuck Was Up With That. the other very cool part of worldbuilding is how the adem express themselves - they keep their faces blank, but express emotions through hand gestures. and today................... i finally made the connection between This and Autism. I SHOULD'VE MADE IT SOONER. i've been recently coming to realise i don't really watch people's body language or expressions very closely irl - i don't know if it's because i'm bad at reading it, or if i just live in scandinavia and i think we're not so big on body language/eye contact over here, so there's not much information for me to extract? a lot of people tell me that they communicate a lot better when meeting people in person, and i kind of, can not relate to this very much? i can not think of anything i get from meeting people in person that i can't get over text except the speed of conversation. like, sure, there's Tone of Voice but i don't always find it the most reliable piece of information, either. in fact text makes it easier to parse the words and gives me the time and space to reply appropriately. THIS IS PROBABLY A ME THING. I MAY BE MORE AUTISTIC THEN I THOUGHT. welcome to my favourite game of "is it the autism or is it scandinavia"

BUT. i gesture with my hands A Lot. many people have pointed this out to me. i have no idea how expressive i am with my face, but i'm Very expressive with my hands!!! i haven't really thought about this until recently and that's when. the memory of the adem struck again. THEIR NEUTRAL FACES AND THEIR EXPRESSIVE GESTURES..................... NO EYE CONTACT, WATCH THE HANDS....................................... what a fantastic concept. i would adopt this if i could. it does make me wonder though, would it be easier or harder to be autistic in a culture like that? you would still need to learn hand expressions and all the subtle social rules... but it seems more accessible to me, somehow.

anyway that was tonight's KKC thought. it was autism

#haiz reads things #not something i've read in a while but im having THOUGHTS #anyway i figured out how to post this pot on this very functional website #made a draft and copypasted each parapraph in one at a time and saved inbetween

What do they look like? (pic or description!)

What are their bad habits?

What's their backstory?

What is the most important thing to them and how do they protect it?

What else is important about your MC? Tell me all about it and don't you dare hold back! I want to hear it!!!

Here's all about my MC!

Rhene (read as Renée or 'reh-nay') but only her mother calls her that. Everyone else calls her Rhen.

CIS Female, Heterosexual, 27 at Season 1

Her special talent is her insight and problem-solving abilities. She's really good at understanding other perspectives and helping others find the optimal solution to whatever their issue is. However, whenever she's involved in the problem situation, she's like a cat in a paper-bag and can't problem-solve for her life.

Rhen wants to live a life where she's happy.

Rhen's main goal changes over time. When she first arrived to the Devildom, she just wanted to learn and practice magic. Rhen's story deviates from canon, but past season 2, Rhen's goal is to help and support Diavolo in his dream in whatever way she can.

Rhen is passionate about music and demonology. For Rhen, music helps her express and regulate her emotions, and then she became really invested in learning about Devildom history and about the different life forms that exist.

Rhen is super sensitive to heat. It's why she never wears her hair down. It isn't until Asmo teaches her a charm that she starts to wear her hair down. Almost never wear a bra. Rhen can lie but doesn't like to. 95% when she does lie, she purposefully makes it obvious that she's lying; in a sarcastic kind of way.

Rhen loves physical touch. This girl has been so touch starved for so long and touch is one of her displays of affection so she's constantly wanting to have some sort of contact with her friends or partners. Rhen LOVES Cheese. Mac 'n Cheese is her favorite food and the brothers quickly got tired of eating it whenever she was in charge of making dinner that they made a rule that she could only make the dish once a month.

She hates being told what to do. It immediately triggers her chaotic-brat mode. It's just her immediate reaction even if it's something reasonable.

Rhen struggles to not try and manage other people's feelings/reactions in any given situation. It really interferes with her ability to communicate effectively because the impulse to manage other people will sometimes keep her from communicating when she needs to.

13. Rhen has a bad habit of not showering when her depression gets bad, especially her hair. Since she throws it up into a bun, it's usually not noticable. Asmo has been a big help in this department and has helped her keep a more regular routine.

14. Rhen grew up with a perfectly average, white, middle class family lifestyle. Her mother was a helicopter parent and it created a strained relationship as Rhen grew up. Graduating high school, Rhen immediately went to university by her parents' insistence. She graduated with a Linguistics major and a minor in Japanese & Latin. She worked as a Copy Editor for a few different publishing houses, then went freelance and struggled financially. At one point she was shopping at a resale store when she heard the woman behind the counter stressing over paperwork and she couldn’t figure out how to fix, organize, and digitize it. Rhen offered to help her, showed her the process, but the woman (a board member of the nonprofit) was still confused and overwhelmed. She asked Rhen how she knew all this and Rhen told her how organizing, editing and perfecting stuff was her job. So she offered to pay Rhen to do the job and since she wasn’t making much off of freelance work (and she felt bad leaving the mess for this woman who clearly had no idea how to do this) she agreed. Eventually became hired and took on more responsibility, essentially becoming their Communications Specialist which included helping manage their website, and offered services of going over people’s resumes to help perfect them. A few years go by and the woman who brought her on ended up getting ousted by the board (bullshit politics that boiled down to her wanting to be efficient at giving people the aid and resources they need and the rest of the board wanting to pull in as much money as possible, even though that's not what a nonprofit is for) and Rhen's pay was cut to the point where she had to quit. This is around the time Rhen decides to study abroad before beginning a Master's program.

15. To Rhen, her relationship with the brothers and Diavolo are the most important thing to her. Before coming to the Devildom, Rhen always avoided confrontation, even to the detriment of herself or others. However, Rhen has grown to no longer let things slide and she will do whatever is necessary to protect her people.

16. Rhen's childhood left it's mark on her in the fact way that, she had friends, but for one reason or another, she was typically an after thought; not someone her friends cared if she came along or not. It left Rhen with a desperate need for affection (not even in a romantic aspect), so Rhen developed some unhealthy behavior where she believed that others would only value her if she provided goods or services to the relationship. Her best friend she met in high school became her only support system and a unhealthy co-dependent relationship developed between the two of them. They eventually worked through the toxic traits and now maintain a healthy relationship. Rhen, though, is still working through a lot of self-deprecating, toxic behaviors, but the life she's building in the Devildom has been a positive effect.

MOB PSYCHO 100 WARRIOR CATS AU WHOOOOOO

I've been chugging along at these designs for ages and I am so proud of them and stoked to finally share them AA if you have any questions FEEL FREE to ask me I have been plotting and drawing this au so much (have many things still in the works to post!!)

AU Summary: A Long time ago a strange interloper claiming to be a Starclan warrior took over the clan (Dimple/Mosswish). He gave them a prophecy from the ancient times of a cat that would one day be destined to take his place as the True leader of the clan.

Years later, a stray (Reigen/Weaselflight) found two kittens (Mob & Ritsu/Sproutmask & Thistlestrike) abandoned in the trash and took them in. If anyone asked he would claim it was just so that he wouldn't have anyone's death on his conscience but nobody ever asked. He staked out a human neighborhood and left them on the doorstep and once he saw them get taken in went off on his way.

Almost a year after that Sprout and Thistle have no memories of the cat who saved them and they have both grown. Sprout is constantly wondering what lies beyond his yard.

He befriends a stay who just came back to town named Weasel that seems oddly familiar, who's been mentoring Sprout on the ways of the Clan. He uses Weasel's "true" stories as a springboard for all the things he wants to do someday and tells his brother all about (Thistle hides his concern about that) But there are clan cats who have been watching them convinced Sprout is the one chosen by Starclan to help them.

Eventually they come to him, offering him anything he wants if he will join them, permanently.

I have a lot more I'm keeping secret for now you'll have to find out >:3c

design and name notes under the cut!

First off: I started on these BEFORE the fursona plush actually ever got announced but about mid-way through plotting all this They Happened and I knew I could not use any aspect of them for these designs so if u want to know why they don't look like those. that's why. I ardently refused to use those designs. I love them!!! I have fanart in the works of them, but they're not part of this.

Mob - he was the first character I drew and the base off of which I drew everyone else because he's the default. He's the glass of water, the firestar, the plain chip, the True Neutral of design.

He was also the last one i colored and actually finished a design for LMAO. When it came to his name I knew I wanted -mask as his suffix because of the fact he is the most autistic character I have ever seen in my life (I am a professional autist, I know my own) and he is absolutely masking 95% of the time before the confession arc. I was stuck on what his suffix could be though, but my friend @cellulr suggested broccoli as a name and I remembered that OH YEAH he can make plants grow, which is how I got to Sprout, also it just sounds cute. He's a growing little sprout, it works.

Reigen - My design is very specifically based on the Least Weasel. I do not subscribe to fox headcanons under any circumstances. I don't care what reason people have for them he's not a fox. He's literally the quote "weaseling out of things is important to learn! It's what separates us from the animals...except the weasel." incarnate.

His name was the easiest one for me. He's a weasel, he loves to get out of Situations, Weaselflight. It's a winner.

Serizawa - He's a calico :3c I made him a calico because it matched the color palette of his pajamas and I just love his pajamas look because the blue suit is............kind of boring sorry <3.

I was really stuck on what to name him but i found out on the wiki that the zawa kanji of his name means Marsh and I really fell in love with that. -whisper was based on him being kinda shy when he first joins the clans but just like in actual canon he gets braver but is still a big gentle giant type guy

Dimple - I don't believe in realistic cat genetics for warrior cats content, these are a bunch of strays in the woods who have organized religion and superpowers. The cats can be green if I make them green. So Dimple's design was translated pretty literally but I made him very short and rounder than everyone else. And I gave him the same nicked ear that the claw security guard people draw him with/as all the time has. Also he's short and people keep thinking he's an apprentice I think that was a funny part of Scourge nobody used.

If you want to get realistic or something you could say maybe Dimple being green was proof enough to the clans he's otherworldly and therefore totally a real starclan warrior. His suffix Moss is pretty obvious but -wish has an in and out of universe explanation. In-universe it's about his own wishes of being important (godly perhaps?). Out of universe it's a reference to my favorite old timey warrior cats fansite warriors wish.

Teru - okay I will admit this is the only design that's loosely based on some fursona art. I saw art of him as a Pomeranian with the rest of the gang and I was obsessed I could not let him be a cat. He is a full respected warrior of the clan though do Not make any comments about him being a dog unless you wanna get killed. I love warriors aus or fanclans where non-cats are part of the clan too I think adding other animals adds a lot of fun elements to the world. In another clan of mine there's a pig. Reject canon. Add more animals to the clans.

As for his name I thought about naming giving him the Star prefix just to be annoying but theres certain lines I won't cross and that's one. So he's Suntuft. the -tuft is because he's a big fluffy dog lots of fur.

Toichirou - So like...in terms of structure Claw is basically just Bloodclan and guy who shows up out of nowhere with a huge army at the last second w/ plans to take over the world (forest)? that's so Scourge coded. Why does he have a clan name though? Secret For Later >:3c

In terms of design he's literally just a taller pointier Mob now in Red. Why he has the -claw suffix should be pretty obvious and I know in the anime his hair isnt quite red but i remembered it being pretty red when I was designing and Shou has red hair (im getting to him dw) so...red. I also thought it would be diabolical to give him the same name as the canon hero of the actual warriors books.

#mob psycho 100 #mob psycho fanart #warrior cats au #shigeo kageyama #reigen arataka #serizawa katsuya #mp100 ekubo #teruki hanazawa #toichirou suzuki #mp100 warriored cats #i have been doing nothing but these for months oh my GOD #i have a lot of WIPs but i wanted to get their design sheets down and i have DONE IT #i very rarely take on big projects like this and I certainly never make it this far. i usually draw one character and then give up #the power of absolute cataclysmic autism i guess but anyways im happy to post these and actually be able to talk about them more #my room channel in my friends server is full of so much bullshit i want to do with them and me problem-solving how to plot this in real tim #my friends r getting so tired of me LMAO #anyways none of you can see me but i am Vibrating at a frequency that shatters glass i love this au so much i am disastrous

Hello, I just saw that you write for BNHA, omega verse and male reader and I have never been happier. If it’s alright, could I request a alpha pro hero bakugo with his sweet omega who is the complete opposite of his alpha, omega is timid, nicer, sweet and the complete opposite of the buff, mean hero who is only nice to his omega. I’m sorry if it doesn’t make much sense, I’ve recently learned English! Please feel free to ignore this if it’s not possible, take care!

I am a triple threat lol

And your writing is wonderful my dude! Better than some native speakers I know honestly.

X

It was honestly shocking that an alpha as volatile as Bakugo managed to get such a sweet and kind Omega like (name), he wasn't even a pro hero or anything! He was just a sweet Omega that Bakugo met off duty!

(Name) was shy as he walked into the agency, cutely made dinner boxs as he presented his ID card to the security with a gentle smile, he doesn't come here often but when Bakugo has to be at the agency for a few days (name) liked to make sure he was fed. "Hello again, how are you?" (Name) asked the security guard who led him to the private elevator and swiped the card to activate it "I'm good Mr. Bakugo, yourself?"

"I'm quite alright, my husband isn't giving you all trouble is he? I will beat him up if he does" (name) joked and playfully punched the air, making the guard chuckle "that's quite alright Mr. Bakugo"

Wherever (name) went he always lightened the mood of the room, the delicate Omega cheerful and kind.

The top floor was where bakugos office was along with the pro hero's hired under the Dynamite angency, a few new faces looking at him curiously especially the new secretary infront of his office.

"Do you have an appointment?" She asked in a bored tone, staring at the Omega with disinterest as he wasn't a pro hero he wasn't worth her time "no, I'm here to drop something off" (name) said with a small frown as she stopped him from just going in "Dynamite doesnt like people barging into his office"

"I can promise you he won't get upset, now please let me pass" (name) said because at this point the new secretary was infront of the Omega and despite the scent patches on her neck she was very obviously an alpha just by her stance and the slightly condicending look she gave the Omega.

"Oi! I been calling you on the buzzer for five minutes! The fuck are you--- baby what are you doing here?" Bakugo instantly became calm for his Omega when he noticed his presence "what's going on here? Why didn't you just come in baby"

"You forgot to tell your secretary about your mate" (name) said, not throwing the secretary under the bus because despite her attitude she was just following her orders but he did stare down his husband who just ushered him into the office that was a little messy "I brought you enough food for the next few days and some treats" (name) said softly, moving on from the little mishap as bus alpha led him to the couch and set the food on the coffee table "you didn't have to baby" Bakugo said softly, a complete 180 from his hostile persona he usually held "can't let my alpha starve" (name) said letting Bakugo guide him into his lap when the blond sat down.

Bakugo was unahsamed when he began heavily scenting his mate, nosing his scent gland and mating mark "Alpha...not here" (name) mumbled and Bakugo just nipped at his scent gland "hush pup" he mumbled and went about his nonsense with a shit eating grin.

"YO BAKUBRO! I BROUGHT THE LAST OF THE FI---Oh my" kirishima looked shocked as he took in the bakugos kissing and scenting "FUCK OUT OF HERE SHITTY HAIR!" Bakugo yelled angrily but (name) was already off him and fixing himself up "Hello Eijiro! How are you!" And like that (name) was pretending that he wasn't just caught about to do something inappropriate with his alpha but was very obviously embarrassed "I'm alright! You two seem to be very happy" he teased as he dropped folders onto bakugos desk as (name) just blushed at this and kirishima noticed the food and tried to sneakily go to it "Oi shitty hair! Back off! That's my shit"

"C'mon man! (Name)s food is addictive!"

"I don't give a shit, keep your grubby hands away!"

(Name) smiled at the two best friends bicker, despite his mates harsh words there was no real bite behind them.

The three eventually sat at the couch with their prefered drinks, Bakugo not letting his mate go and serve it claiming since he made food he has to sit his ass down "so is everyone staying for these three days?" (Name) asked curiously and the two heros nodded and (name) looked unimpressed "baby you better be getting them food, they aren't surviving off the food from convenience store I saw down the street" (name) said seriously, staring down his mate and Kirishima wanted to laugh because this little Omega was the only one who could bring the brute that was Bakugo down to his knees with a look.

"...I will have someone order food"

"Every day they have to be here, three meals"

"...yes baby"

Bakugo was whipped for this Omega and everyone agreed it was for the better, (name) balanced him out "thank you baby" (name) said sweetly and kissed his cheek "its getting late, I will make sure you have an escort alright?" Bakugo said gruffly but with no hostility as he scented his Omega one last time "be safe baby" (name) said hugging his alpha before leaving, kirishima noticing he left his sweater deliberately for Katsuki.

Kirishima sighed at this.

He really needed a mate.

Something none of the Bonten men enjoyed was cleaning out little (name)s pockets because they would find the strangest things.

Once they found someone's credit card, they hadn't even gone out that day.

Another was an engagement ring.

Twelve dollars in change.

Rans phone once.

They had zero idea what they would get from their strange sons little pockets.

One might say "why not dress the toddler in clothes with no pockets?"

They tried that.

And (name) just shoved the things he found down his shirt.

"A shoe lace... Two rocks and a half eaten macaron" Mochi said softly as he reached in again and pulled out... A usb drive?

"Bud where did you get this?"

"Park!"

"Of course... Ran could you have someone run this?" Mochi asked and handed the usb drive to the eldest Haitani who looked at the toddler a bit confused before going off to do his work.

How (name) managed to get his chubby little hands on a usb drive with trade plans from the Chinese Mafia they will never fucking know.

But they did take him out for ice cream because the pay out from that was monstrous.

"Can get spinkles?" (Name) asked Mikey who held him close "you can get anything you want (name)"

"Cho-co-late?"

"Yeah they got chocolate"

Once the Bonten men ordered in the expensive ice cream parlor they watched little (name) messily eat his ice cream and trying to feed Kakucho every few bites because if Mikey accepts his offerings then everyone has to.

"Bud what's in your pocket?" Koko said and pulled out... Rindos contacts?

"That's where they went?!"

Warning: male reader NSFW pet names (bunny, baby boy, baby, good boy, darling) virginity loss

KAEYA X BARBARAS OLDER BROTHER READER

Kaeya was absolutely smitten with the older brother of Barbara, soft gentle smiles as he helped Lisa around her Library when he wasn't at the church with his sister.

He was just so perfect and innocent.

"My my, If it isn't the church's prettiest deacon" Kaeya said smoothly as (name) stepped into the knights building, dressed in the male counterpart clothing of his sister albeit less idol themed "ah! Mr Kaeya it's a pleasure to see you again!" (Name) said with a slight blush as the handsome man sauntered over to (name), eyes doing filthy things to the poor man "what are you doing here though, Lisa is gone book collecting with the traveller"

"Well you see, I actually came to see you!" (Name) said cheerfully much to the blue haired man's surprise"really and why is that?"

"I...wanted to see if you possibly wanted to get lunch with me" (name) was a mess at this point as Kaeya took a moment to process this saint like creatures words but apparently he took too long because (name) looked a little heartbroken "O-oh I must have misread the signals, I'm very sorry Mr. Kaeya, L-lets forget I said anything..." (Name) said chuckling nervously as he turned to walk away only to be pulled back by Kaeya "now now, I never said no did I? Who could deny such a request"

(Name) was a goner at this point, his sister's didn't tell him what to do if he said yes!

"O-ok!"

The two went out and soon the day became more than just lunch, somehow (name) ended up pinned between the wall and Kaeya as the tanned man ravished his neck and hands slowly took apart his clothes while his leg rubbed against (name)s crotch "so fuckin' pretty, the prettiest little thing in the country" Kaeya said deeply as he let (name) tug at his hair, the sweet angel was most definitely a virgin.

"You want me to take you? Ruin you for anyone else?"

"I-I...please Kaeya...."

That was the first time he heard (name) say his name without 'mr' stamped infront of it and Kaeya would be a dirty liar if he said it didn't go straight to his cock "lemme take you home, your first time shouldn't be in a grimy alleyway"

(Name) let himself be led to kaeyas home and let the blue eyed man strip him down on Kaeyas bed "god, I might just keep you here... Serve my cock and be my little fuck bunny" Kaeya said almost thoughtfully as he imagined (name) in bunny ears and a cotton tail and groaned.

Another time.

He needed to focus on the shy baby boy before him, a red blush looking away with a painfully hard cock he tried to hide.

All for the taking.

Keaya stripped down and watched (name) carefully as the sweet Deacon gave into temptation "touch yourself for me" Kaeya commanded and (name) blushed heavily as he looked at the other "don't you want to be my good boy?"

That seemed to do something, Kaeya keeping that in his memory for later as he watched (name) shyly nice his hand down and stroke his cock, letting out soft moans as he looked away and his his mouth behind his hand.

He wanted to be a good boy for Kaeya so badly.

He like Kaeya so much it hurt, the thought of being bad for him oh (name) wouldn't allow it.

"Don't cum yet bunny" Kaeya said as he moved his hand the the base of (name)s cock "you only get to cum on my cock alright?"

"O-ok..." (Name) said obediently as he let Kaeya manhandle him, every touch seemed to unlock more and more of (name)s inner slut as he was settlled ass up as Kaeya licked his virgin hole "ah! No! That's dirty!" (Name) said panicked and kaeya just pulled his ass closer to his face "looks good to me" he mumbled before eating (name) out, keeping a tight grip on the beautiful shaking man's cock to keep him from cumming.

He'd cum on Kaeyas cock and it alone.

Using his spare hand he fondled (name)s glorious ass and spread it for better access as he continued his meal, the sound of (name)s beautiful melodic moans sent shivers down his spine.

They were so needy

So desperate

Like the call of a siren

And he was a foolish sailor

(Name)s ass had loosened enough for Kaeya to introduce his fingers and God he could tell already that even with prep his bunny was gonna be tight.

can I request for bonten mikey has an omega but has never told anyone till one day his omega visits him with their newborn pup because he wouldn’t calm down and wanted to see his dad

Fuck yeah

Mikey was a very private man, none of Bonten had ever seen his home and probably never would.

Because Mikey was hiding a big secret.

His mate and pup.

"(Name)? What are you doing here?" Mikeys monotone voice cut through as his mate and fussy pup were dealing with his security "Alpha?" (Name) asked distressed as the security parted for the blond "he won't stop crying, ever since you left..." (Name) mumbled and let Mikey take the tiny babe and everyone looked shocked as Mikey gently scented the whining baby who immediately calmed down at the scent of his dad "have you eaten?" Mikey asked concerned and (name) nodded "have you eaten anything other than snacks?" (Name) asked, the couple ignoring the shock in the room as Mikey led the Omega up to the lounge.

The executives weren't expecting to see Mikey all clingy and holding a tiny baby with his eyes.

"Uuuh whose this?" Ran asked as he eyed the pretty omega, noting the bite mark on his neck and finally realized the bite mark on Mikey's neck.

"My mate" Mikey said simply as he adjusted the babe in his arms "it's a pleasure to meet you all" (name) mumbled softly and then it clicked for Sanzu...he had met (name) before.

Back in Toman.

Huh.

Well this was unexpected.

(Name) stuck close to Mikey as the Alpha made no attempt at any more introductions so the men took it upon themselves to get answers.

"We didn't know the boss had a mate or a pup" Rindō said and (name) just sighed "Mikey likes to keep us hush hush, keep us safe" Mikey agreeing as their pup reached out to (name), no longer interested in his papa "now that you know of their existence, their safety is top priority" Mikey's tone was grave and the men nodded, Sanzu silently seething at the fact that he didn't know this vital information about his king.

Why didn't he tell him?

It sure as hell explained a lot.

"He's hungry" (name) mumbled to Mikey who nodded and the two stood up "get back to work" Mikey said cooly as he took his mate to his office so he could feed the pup with privacy.

When the Sanos left Koko was the first to speak up "Jesus fuck" his voice strained as the others nodded "you guys expect that?"

Everyone shook their head.

"How the hell did Mikey land him?" Ran asked and everyone shrugged as Sanzu felt that feeling he felt towards Mikey directed at the omega and pup, the urge to serve.

The urge to protect.

My #1 post of 2022

Xiao was in awe as his mate held their tiny pup, wide eyes and hair like his own but with his mates large fox ears and all in all he was perfect.

"Hello little one"

"Our precious Tighnari..."

Xiao never expected to find a mate and have a pup when he visited Sumeru but god it was the best choice he ever made. He visited to see a friend who came by his in once and found the most beautiful Omega ever and seeing (name) hold their perfect little pup who was just... God he would do anything for his sweet little babe.

(Name) went with Xiao to Liyue, the couple going back to Sumeru every few months to see (name)s family and so their pup knew of his heritage.

"His ears are so big..."

"Judging by my own, they will stay that big" (name) said teasingly as little Tighnari fed contently, making little gurgles and sounds as he did so "he's going to do great things" Xiao said with certainty as the tiny fox pup pulled away and stared at his dad curiously "hello little one, I'm your dad..." And gently took his pup into his arms, little Tighnari wearing tiny robes "rest love, I will handle our pup"

"Love you..."

I love you too"

Xiao wandered around the inn with his pup cuddled into the crook of his arm and made tiny little sounds as his father pretended to make conversation with him "really now? How interesting"

When it came time for his next feeding (name) was already up, the family snuggling in the nest and scenting the tiny pup who kicked happily at his parents giving him all this attention "wait till he meets his uncle..." (Name) said jokingly and Xiao looked honestly excited to introduce their pup to Zhongli.

"He's gonna love him"

[anchanted-one]

"Is Tywin Lannister Evil?"

I saw this question as a poll on YouTube a fee hours ago. I should've taken a screenshot, or at least noted the number of votes, but I didn't think much of it, and now I can't find it.

But I was a little surprised by the ratio. 75% instead of 95+. It's been eating at me.

So I wanted to talk about it. TW: Song of Ice and Fire stuff below the cut.

So here are some of the evil things Tywin has done, with possible "justifications" that aren't really an excuse when you look at the crime.

The background.

Tywin's dad Tytos was an incurable people-pleaser who never said no to his vassals and peers. This led to a marked drop in prestige of House Lannister. Tywin grew up with everyone mocking the family to their faces, and being unable to do anything about it. It was his childhood trauma. Perhaps the biggest insult was the prostitute his father took as a lover once Tywin's mom died. She acted with the full confidence that she was Lady Lannister, with all the power and prestige that brought her. And Tytos got mocked for it. Savagely, and perhaps deservedly.

So this upbringing shaped Tywin's outlook on life, and made him obsessed with projecting power and punishing all offenses. Here are the best ones.

1. The destruction of the Tarbecks of Tarbeck Hall, and the Reynes of Castamere.

These were among the houses that took loans from his father, but refused to pay. Tywin and his brothers, fresh from the war if Ninepenny Kings, made one demand for the repayment, then ended both Houses so thoroughly that the most iconic song from the series was born: "the Rains of Castamere." But he didn't just punish the guilty ones. No, to quote Anakin, "Not just the men, but the women and children too!"

2. The penance of his father's mistress.

The mistress' name is unknown, but her deeds were recorded. Despite not even being married to the Lord, she didn't hesitate to act as Lady; ordering Knights, dismissing servants, sitting on his seat and handling affairs of Casterly Rock, wearing Lady Jeyne's jewelry (Tywin's mom). Naturally, when Tytos died and Tywin took the throne, her doom was sealed. She was paraded naked through the streets for a fortnight before being exiled.

She is the reason why Tywin keeps telling Tyrion to be discreet with his prostitutes, and not give them any power over him... though this is often interpreted as a warning to not have them at all. In A Dance with Dragons, his brother Kevan reflects that Tywin might never have guessed his daughter would suffer the same fate.

3. The Sacking of King's Landing.

The Lannisters stayed out of the war until the very end. Until Rhaegar was killed, and the Rebels were headed for the capital. Tywin appeared at the gates, saying he was going to help the king. Instead, his forces sacked it so badly, they're still hated by the small folk. His henchmen, led by the infamous Mountain, killed Rhaegar's wife Elia Martell of Dorne and their daughter, and probably their son too (conspiracy at work here), and Tywin claims he "forgot" about Elia, though many find this unlikely.

In his "defense" the king was mad as a hatter infected with the Joker toxin. He did a lot of highly cruel and stupid things that lost him all of his allies. Many Lords were clearly just waiting for him to die so his nice son Rhaegar could take the throne, but that ship was bashed in with a hammer. But was that a reason to sack the capital? And kill thousands? Nope.

3. The Red Wedding.

Unable to defeat Robb Stark in the field, Tywin Lannister approved of his murder at a wedding. His justification was, "Explain to me, how it's more noble to kill 1000 men on a battlefield, than 10 at a wedding." And while I see his point, it's the principle of escalation. He invited anarchy by behaving in a sleazy manner. All of his allies came under siege almost right away. There's a saying here in India, "Those who protect dharma (which can mean righteousness, duty, or the law) are protected by it." And while it's not always true that a righteous man is protected by the law, the unrighteous are definitely looked down upon. People are always waiting to take them down. And it happens. The moment Tywin dies, Jaime tells Cersei that the people aren't waiting outside to mourn their father, but make sure he's really gone. By contrast, Robb Stark is very much respected. People are still willing to die in his memory.

4. The treatment of Tyrion.

While not exactly a crime, Tywin has always treated his youngest son badly. He half-believes that Tyrion isn't his son, but is unable to prove it. Even if his suspicion is false, a lot of his hatred for his son actually stems from two facts: Tyrion is a dwarf, and Joanna Lannister (Tywin's wife, whom he did love) died giving birth to him. We see this trend a lot, where a family hates the child who "took their mother's life," and this is also the major reason Cersei cites for hating him, but it's really sad for poor Tyrion, who grew up feeling their resentment at every turn in his life.

5. The treatment of Tysha

Tysha was a girl whom Jaime and Tyrion saved on the road, about Tyrion's age. Tyrion quickly fell in love with her and married her in secret. But his dad found out the second the Septon sobered up. He instantly remembered his dad's second mistress.... maybe. His punishment of her was severe. He forced Jaime to lie that he'd hired her to make Tyrion happy, then ordered everyone in his barracks to gang-rape her, before forcing Tyrion to do so himself. He paid her a silver coin for each of his guards, and a gold one for Tyrion, then banished her. This incident was the main reason for Tyrion really flying off the rails and killing Tywin, and swearing the harshest of revenge on his family. They--Tysha and Tyrion--were no older than Sansa was in A Storm of Swords, and very innocent to boot, which makes this the worst crime in my eyes.

So why are 25% voting he wasn't evil? Probably because of his portrayal onscreen, which is a lot more sympathetic to most of the characters (except Stannis). And also, perhaps, because of the nuance in his character, his backstory. They might find it understandable. The ends justify the means. But that's really not so to me.

Fandom: Glee Pairing: Blaine Anderson & Sebastian Smythe Chapter Title: November 8th in a New World Chapter Summary: Blaine thought November 8th would be the defining date of every year, the date he found and then (one year later) lost Sebastian. Years later he put May 1st on his "crappy day list" when half the world disappeared.

Today, while the world outside is in chaos, a magic portal has opened in front of him. He has a feeling he’ll be adding October 17th to his list.

Chapter Note: With this fic's focus on November 8th, it would have been nice for this prompt to be yesterday's, but that's the way it goes sometimes.🤪

10 Days of Seblaine 2023 Day 4: Inspired by Another Media

November 8, 2022

It took months for people to come out of the stupor they fell into after Thanos snapped his fingers. When they did, the majority went into one of two camps…those who chose to try to move on and those who got lost in their anger. Blaine was fortunate in that most of the people he knew fell into the first camp.

Then there was Clint.

Watching his entire family turn to dust broke him and by the time what was left of Shield sent someone for him, he was long gone. The Archer did contact him once a month to check in, only because he promised not to tell anyone…especially Natasha. The longer this went on the more he wanted to tell her. He was well aware of Clint’s turn from Hawkeye to Ronan and all that entailed. But Blaine also knew if he said anything his friend would go off the grid completely. At least this way he knew he was still alive.

This didn’t mean he condoned what Ronan did and it made him sick to know in the pre-Snap world he would have been considered an accessory to multiple murders. But in the post-Snap world, you did what you could do to get from one day to the next.

Blaine hadn’t realized it was November 8th until Clint contacted him to say he was thinking of him. How he hated that it took losing his own family to understand Blaine’s pain. How he’d try to finally visit him sometime in the new year.

He wasn’t going to get his hopes up.

There had been a time where he couldn’t get out of bed on November 8th. The memory of Kurt and Burt telling him Sebastian and Sam were dead paralyzed him. That stopped in 2018. He didn’t have the time. He did have the time to honor those he lost. Dave (thankfully he and Xavier were still with him) suggested they have a memorial stone made. It took over a year but when it arrived 2 weeks earlier, Blaine cried for the first time in months. There were so many names. They were told half the population was lost in the Snap but his loss was closer to 95%.

However, today wasn’t about them. They were May 1st. Today was about the two plaques on the smaller stone in front of the memorial.

Sebastian Smythe Not snapped away Gone in the blink of an eye January 14, 1995-November 8, 2012

Sam Evans Son, Brother, Master of Impressions Founding member of Blam February 17, 1995-November 8, 2012

Even though the November wind was blowing, it was unseasonable warm for Ohio so he sat on the bench they’d placed in front of the memorial. He was immediately joined by a friend.

In the early days of their collective nightmare, Blaine had to find items to both feed and care for Lord Tubbington. He quickly found out there were hundreds of orphaned pets in just the Westerville area. Without thinking he volunteered Dalton as a sanctuary and rallied people to find these animals and bring them in. A month later he had what the surrounding area called Dalton Zoo.

It took time but people began to get back on their feet and were willing to adopt these pets.

But there was a tiny golden retriever who had lost not only his owners but mother and siblings. Blaine gave him round the clock care until he was a hyper, mischievous but loving puppy. He had no choice but to adopt the puppy and name him Sammy.

“Whatcha doing boy?” he asked as Sammy licked his face then laid down on the bench with his head on Blaine’s lap. “Did you know I was feeling sad?”

“Hi Uncle Bow! Hi Sammy!”

He had been so far in his head he hadn’t noticed the screen appear out of nowhere. He really had to find a way to get Saturday to alert him when someone was calling, especially Tony. But since it was Morgan, he’d let it slide this time.

“Hi Sweetie!”

“Daddy said you were sad today and to cheer you up. Do you want to sing a song with me?”

Tony knew he refused to sing again after Sebastian died. The obnoxious billionaire took it as a challenge. Once his daughter could talk, he taught her to ask him to sing with her. Blaine had always been able to distract her, but now that Morgan was getting older, he didn’t know how much longer he could hold out.

“I am sad Sweetie, but you know what would make me feel even better than singing a song?”

“What?”

“You telling me about all the times your Mommy got mad at Daddy for running off to Uncle Bruce to do science.”

“So many times!”

“Hey! No talking behind my back” Tony whined as he kissed Morgan on the cheek and told her Pepper was looking for her.

“Bye Uncle Bow! Oh, I forgot. Can I come play with the animals?”

“I don’t know. Is your Daddy going to play science with Dalton again?”

Morgan turned to her father and smiled. “Busted! Bye again Uncle Bow! Bye Sammy!”

When she was out of ear shot, Blaine smiled and said “Next time you pull that crap, I’m going to ask Morgan if she wants a puppy. Or, we had two ponies born last month.”

“I have no problem with that but Pepper’s another story.”

“Yeah, I’m actually scared of her. But seriously, thanks for checking on me. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years.”

“Did you read the letter?”

“No, I thought maybe this was the year, but Xavier is having a bad day…week.”

“You know you’re never going to fully move on until you read it.”

“So, I’d be like 50% of the population?”

“Bow…”

“Tony, I tried.”

“You hooked up with a guy who we got out of NYC with that obnoxious girl from your old Glee Club. A guy you knew would return to NYC as soon as it livable again.”

“Elliot went home to California to help his mother. And from what I’ve heard NYC is still barely livable. It has to be if Rachel is still living with her Dads.”

“Fine, we’ll discuss it when Morgan, Bruce and I are there on Friday.”

“Are you kidding? Why?”

“Yearly maintenance on your arc reactor.”

When Tony rebuilt Dalton, he put in an arc reactor like the one he put in the former Stark Towers. When power shut down across the country on the 2nd night, nothing at Dalton even blinked.

“Ok, maintenance on the arc reactor is acceptable. Also, you’ve got to do something about Saturday not announcing my video calls and just putting them through. I was on the toilet this morning when Cli…” Shit!

Tony knew exactly who Blaine was talking about, or not talking about. Rhodey told him Barton was #1 on the government’s most wanted list. “Bow?”

“I’m not going to talk about it so drop it.”

The (former?) Avenger sat back into his chair and stared at the boy who had turned into a remarkable man in the face of tragedy. It made him miss the boy he couldn’t save even more. “We’ll discuss it when…”

“I know, I know, when you, Morgan and Bruce are here on Friday. Do I need to warn the neighbors you’re coming in one of your jets or a spaceship?”

“My jet plus a supply plane.”

“Supplies for the animals or supplies to store in my basement with the rest of the Iron Man technology you’re hiding?”

“Both. You know, it was brilliant to set up this charity so I can move stuff back and forth with no one being the wiser.”

“That’s not why I did it.”

“Keep telling yourself that. I know you love me.”

“Not until you make me a lightsaber.”

October 17, 2023

“You have no idea why Tony sent those boxes?” Dave asked as he and Blaine came up from the basement. “Or why they’re marked Do not open. That includes you, Anderson?”

“None whatsoever. And the fact he sent a supply plane without telling me? He always gives me a heads up so I can warn the neighbors.” “What about sending that huge jet with just those few boxes? You and I were able to move them ourselves. And no pet supplies?”

“Pepper told me he was working with the Avengers again but…”

The conversation ended when the entire room became shaded in a red hue. It’s exactly the same thing that happened the day of the Snap, except Dave wasn’t freaking out.

“Saturday, what’s the threat level?”

“Unknown”

“Can we get visuals?”

A screen appeared with the screen divided into four parts. They were showing news footage from major cities across the country and they were all showing the same thing…people appearing out of nowhere.

“Saturday, can we get local footage?”

The picture on the screen changed to what must have been traffic footage. The intersection they were showing was less than 3 miles away. What was happening in Westerville was no different than the major cities. Except…

“Oh my God!” Dave yelled as he moved closer to the screen. “That’s my Dad! But he was Snapped. I’ve got…”

“Go, but be careful.” Dave was already out the door so Blaine continued to watch the footage to see if he saw anyone else he recognized. Were people who were Snapped coming back somehow?

Was everyone who was Snapped coming back? Did that mean his Mom…Clint’s family…

“Brittany”

He was running out when he was stopped by sparks. There were only a few in the beginning but more and more appeared, all in the form of a widening circle. Soon the circle was big enough he could see two people inside it. A man wearing some sort of robe and waving his harm in a way that made Blaine believe he was causing the sparks.

The other was Pepper wearing a suit Tony had obviously made for her.

“Pepper, what’s going on?”

“I don’t have time to explain.” She walked through the circle (portal?) and handed him a large envelope. “This has power of attorneys, deeds to everything, bank account numbers, birth certificates, shot records…”

“Pepper, you’re scaring me.”

“I’m sorry but Tony and I never got the chance to tell you…” She turned when another man in a robe walked through the circle holding Morgan and what looked like a packed bag. He handed the little girl to her mother and quietly said something along the lines of We’re out of time.

Pepper kissed Morgan on the side of the head then handed her to Blaine. “Be good for Uncle Blaine. Mommy and Daddy love you more than anything.”

And just like that the circle was gone.

November 8, 2023

I, I wish I could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, Nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes, Just for one day

Twelve years from the day he met Sebastian and eleven years from the day he lost him, Blaine broke his vow to never sing again. But when Morgan Stark asked him to sing a song with her on the day of her father’s funeral, he wasn’t going to turn her down. 

He'd actually been singing songs with the little girl ever since her mother walked through a magic circle and left her with him. However, today was different. It was November 8th. He hated this day so much.

Brittany was a big help while Morgan was at Dalton. She'd tell her stories about how she used to be scared and sad all the time, but Blaine always made her feel better. Then she told her what a special little girl she was for Blaine to sing with her because she hadn't heard him sing in a long time. She did leave off the part about being gone for 5 years.

Pepper contacted him 2 days after Tony's death to tell him what happened but didn't want Morgan to know until she could tell her. It was a few more days before she walked through another magic circle, this time to bring her daughter home.

For some reason, he was surprised when Pepper invited him to the memorial service she was having for her husband. There was no doubt she and Tony loved him. Hell, they left him their daughter.

At least one of parents made it back.

The problem was, for all these years, he was what they called Tony’s dirty little secret. At first it was to hide Brittany. Then it was to hide Iron Man technology Tony didn’t want to get their hands on…just in case. But Pepper insisted even though General Ross, one of the people he’d been hiding Brittany from all the time, would be there. They came up with a cover story of him being one of the winners of Tony’s scholarship at MIT. Then, during the 5 years the others were gone, they became friends when Tony took on Blaine’s animal charity as one of his pet projects (pun intended).

None of it was necessary. Ross never talked to anyone and left the moment the formal part of the ceremony was over.

Asshole

The service was short but sweet. He could tell Tony was respected by his fellow Avengers, even loved by a few. He finally got to meet Peter Parker, the boy he’d been so jealous of for taking away Tony’s attention. They laughed at how similar they were, expect Peter could do all that cool, twisty, swing from buildings stuff.

He hugged Clint longer and harder than he should have. Despite getting his family back, he was still living in a hell made of his own actions. He was never going to get over her sacrificing herself when he believed it should have been him as penance for Ronan.

Wanda was nothing what he expected. For so long she’d been the example Tony help up as the reason to keep Brittany’s genius away from people who would exploit it. And even though she almost defeated Thanos by herself at one point (that was mind boggling) she was as damaged, if not more so, as the other survivors of the battle with Thanos. But he could tell, when (not if) she completely broke down, it wasn’t going to be pretty.

About 2 hours later, he found Pepper to say goodbye. A sorcerer named Dr. Strange (seriously) was going to make one of those magic circles (which he found out were actually portals) for him to go home. But before she let him go, she asked to talk to him in private. Tony had left him something…just in case.

Hours later Blaine was sitting alone in the Warblers Commons (he should really start calling it a living room), staring at the elegant box he’d been given. It kind of looked like a jewelry box, but why would Tony leave him jewelry? He never wore any.

Finally, he opened the box and cried the moment he saw what the man he loved like a father, left him.

Tony Stark built him a lightsaber.

Blaine carefully removed it from the box. He studied the hilt and noticed three buttons. Two were black and one was red. Knowing Tony, one being red was a sign for press me first. So, he did.

A beam of light shot out which he assumed was the same technology Tony used in his blasters substituting for the saber. He was wrong.

It was a hologram.

“Hey, Bow! Miss me?”

Notes:

I always wondered who Pepper left Morgan with because it couldn’t be Happy. He was back but there wouldn’t be enough time to get to the lake house. Plus, being gone 5 years, he wouldn’t know about the house in the first place.

Blaine takes the place of the kid from Iron Man 3 at Tony’s funeral.

141. "You're mine, do you understand? You belong to me”

142. "Cry for me, baby."

143. "I know it hurts, honey, but that's what happens when you don't do what I say.?

144. "I just want to show you how much I love you..

145. "Don't worry, my love, I'll protect you."

146. "The next time they touch what's mine, I'll cut their fucking arm off."

147. "You're so cute when you're struggling."

148. "If you don't take your clothes off, I'll take them off for you.

149. "Just give into me, love."

150. "I'll lock you up and throw away the fucking key if you ever even think about doing anything like that again, do you hear me?"

151. "I wish you would just let me have you..

152. "I just want us to be happy. I had to kill them."

153. "'I do whatever the fuck I want to you, got it?"

154. "Is it so hard to love me?"

155. "I hate it when they look at you…so fucking much.."

156. "You know you're mine, don't you?"

157. "Do you really think you can get away from me?"

158. "You know you're mine, don't you?"

HAPPY LATE OR MAYBE NOT LATE B-DAY!! Also could I req a Max Mayfield “everything reminds me of you, and it makes life so much harder. I don’t know where to look, or where to turn.”+ “don’t forget, history is written by the victors. dead men tell no tales.” + “holy shit! you’re flirting with me!?” Thank you!! - N

THANK YOU MY SWEET ANGEL!!! of course you can!! oof, the angst is real with these prompts! it's the way these dialogue prompts made me think 🥴 wonky brain go wonky!!

In This World, It's Just Us

requested - prompt 95: "holy shit! you're flirting with me!?" prompt 102: "everything reminds me of you, and it makes life so much harder. I don't know where to look, or where to turn." and prompt 103: "don't forget, history is written by the victors. dead men tell no tales."

pairing: Max Mayfield x female!reader fandom masterlist: Stranger Things word count: 1.3k+ warnings: no idea anymore. angst. mild internalized homophobia - it was the '80s, my dudes. my babies deserve better - sigh.

"Hey, what did you get for number 14? I was thinking the Revolutionary War, but now I'm not sure," you mumbled as your pencil scribbled notes and marks on paper.

A sigh came from your left, making you look up to see Max' uneasy expression. When her eyes caught yours, she sighed again and pushed her textbook away, "Can I ask you something?"

Closing your book, you nodded, "Anything that keeps me from thinking of this stupid war. What's on your mind?"

She shrugged, "Well... Look, I know it's not something people want to talk about a lot."

"Doesn't stop us from doing it anyways," you nodded, twirling your pencil between deft fingers. "Go on, Max, what's on your mind?"

She huffed, glancing around the pair of you before leaning in, "It could get us in trouble."

"More trouble than the government would put us in if we talked about You Know Where?" Your brow perked with a small smirk, cocking your head in wonder. "What's so bad that it's got you all tongue tied, babe?"

"THAT!" She yelped, cheeks blooming a wild blush color as her eyes bulged and she looked around the two at the single table in the back of the library. A few patrons casted them strange looks, making Max duck some as she repeated, "That."

"What?" You asked, shaking your head with earnest confusion.

"You - calling me names that - I don't know - "

"Oh," you trailed off, eyes wide. "You don't - you don't like me calling you nicknames?"

"No, I-I do, but it's - isn't it wrong?"

You shrugged some because truthfully, after having a long, in-depth conversation with Robin a few weeks ago, you didn't feel wrong anymore for who you were, what you liked - and who you chose to love, and maybe spend your life with. You felt more in-place than ever before, but perhaps you were too forward in your advancements?

Perhaps it made her feel uneasy? You didn't want that - you prided yourself on being Max' first (and possibly only) girlfriend besides Eleven in Hawkins. And the three of you were joined at the hips, marking a well-loved friendship that you valued too greatly to ever let suffer or jeopardize it's status.

"Doesn't feel wrong to me," you admitted, sheepishly glancing at your notes again. "But if you don't like it, I don't have to use them. I don't want you to be uncomfortable."

"That's the thing," she turned in her chair more, facing you with earnest attention. "I don't want you to stop."

"You don't want me to stop flirting with you?"

"Holy shit!" Max breathed, eyes wider than before. "You're flirting with me!?"

"Well, yeah, duh!" You scrambled to check your emotions; eyes darting around the nearly-empty library. "I thought you knew - I thought it was obvious!"

"Well - no - not really!"

Max appeared just as frazzled as you, both turning back for your studies as an awkward silence enveloped you both. When you plucked up the courage, you mumbled, "You know... It only feels wrong because of the way history is written."

"What do you mean?" Max asked gently, and your shoulders shrugged.

"History is written by the victors," you mumbled, "and dead men tell no tales. So, to history and all of us living in this country, the white, straight men rule all... Yet, those who don't fit that mold have found a way to speak through those who lost their lives to this fight before. We are not wrong for what we feel, but the victors who do not feel as we do would shame us into submission. Perhaps even try to outlaw who we are..."

You felt wrong for even sharing those words, but the idea that Max freaking Mayfield liked you back was too good to pass over; and though your words were cryptic, she seemed to understand what you meant between them.

Max nodded slowly, her eyes casting all over your face as your felt far too exposed for your liking. Heart bore on the table, ready for her judgement and slight of hand; you worried you'd crossed a line, but then her hand brushed over yours.

"I know that I don't feel this with anyone else," she nodded at you with meaning. "And that... Maybe a few deadmen are trying to speak through me now."

"Whatever you might feel is valid in the sense that you wouldn't feel it if not necessary," You tried to play off. "Those who came before us had to... Hide who they were, feel ashamed for simple emotion. It was never easy, and going forward, they will tell us we are still wrong, but... There is conversation of movements, of liberating those who might also feel deadmen trying to speak."

"How do you deal with it?"

The question caught you off guard because truthfully, you weren't confident how to answer. You knew your emotions were to be valued and treasured, yet you kept them close to your chest in fear of rejection. And now, with Max looking at you like that... You were at a loss over what to do; where to turn.

"Truthfully, Max, it's not easy," you whispered. "I am at a loss for what to do, what to think, because you're it to me. You are all my mind can focus on, and it drives me up the freaking wall, Max. You want to know how I deal with it?" You repeated, Max' eyes watering lightly from the show of hushed emotion before nodding mutely. "I don't deal with any of it - I'm mindlessly in love with you, and fear there is little I can do about it."

"But why is it so hard for you?"

"Because you're my best friend, but loving you hurts," your voice wobbled. "Because I know you do not feel the same, or that you are confused on what you feel. it's too late for me - because I'm too far gone. Everything reminds me of you, and it makes life so much harder. I don't know where to look, or where to turn - because all my mind thinks of it you."

"I... I knew you did not feel completely platonic towards me," she whispered, guilt plunging her gut. "I did not know what to do - "

"You didn't know what to do?" You repeated, suddenly angry. "So, what? You thought by tricking me, leading me into a conversation, you would find peace for your own soul - while forcing mine onto a chopping block?"

"I did not mean - "

"I know you didn't mean it, Max, but for fuck's sake," you stood suddenly, packing your bags, "use your head a bit. Look, I've got to go - "

"No, wait - "

"I can't be who answers your questions, Max, because I'm still asking my own," you interrupted her. "But I never once doubted the love I felt for you, and yet, I never wanted to jeopardize this friendship for the very same reason!" Her guilt was nearly tangible in the air between them. "If you've questions, ask them to yourself, because I'm a person, Max, with real feelings. Feelings that deserve to be treated with respect. Listen, I'll talk to you later, I have to go now."

"I'm sorry," she spewed, standing to follow you out. "Wait - please, I didn't mean to put you on the spot, I just - "

"You have questions of your own, and feelings of your own," you nodded in understanding, tears almost blinding you, "but so do I, and I cannot ask nor act upon them out of respect for you still figuring it out. Least you can do is extend me the same kindness."

Stunned, speechless, and feeling overwhelming fear and guilt for pushing you too far, Max was left to stare after you as you hustled from the library, down the stone steps, and hustling your step to walk through town and take you home. The whole time, you felt her eyes on you - until physically impossible - and the whole time, your own brimming with tears that would fall helplessly down your cheeks.

Topic to write about: How he feels about job. While I'm aware he has to do it because it is what he does best, tell me exactly what he feels deep within.

You hit the nail on the head there. Being a Fixer is what he does best; it's what he knows and what he's thrown his whole being into, and he's immensely proud of the success it's garnered. Jordi doesn't just get a job done - he gets it done right, and that solidified the reputation he has built. He legitimately enjoys being the name people think of when they need a, uh...let's say, a big favor, the guy with countless connections practically everywhere he goes, and the one so many others are afraid to cross. There is no small measure of pride in what he's built for himself, and best of all, there's security in it. As long as there are people on this planet, someone is going to want things they can't or won't do for themselves, whether that is stealing a car, cleaning up evidence of a crime already committed, or taking a life. So, deep down, how does he feel about it?

It's complicated, to some degree.

Are there days he'll wake up wondering what his life would be like if he didn't do what he does? Of course he does, just like anyone else might; picturing himself in another career, maybe something more straight-laced and...y'know, legal. Something that doesn't put his life on the line 95% of the time he goes to work. The latter is a big point that leaves a weird tightness in his chest on those mornings when his mind decides to fly off the rails and delve into what ifs. Imagine that - getting a paycheck and not being shot at. Or stabbed. Or nearly run off the road. What a wild thought! With that comes the notion of, could he actually imagine himself doing anything else, and that is a resounding no without even the slightest second guess.

Being a Fixer is, again, what he's good at and what he knows. That alone is enough to solidify the no mentioned above, but on top of that is the fact that he legitimately likes his job. He enjoys what he does, what he is, the whole nine yards. It's hard to imagine anything that doesn't involved a rush of adrenaline when the gunfire starts, or the coil of sheer excitement welling up in his chest when he's facing down a mark, about to go hand-to-hand with the confidence that he'll come out on top. There's that sadistic streak in him that thrives on the thought of his target begging for mercy he doesn't possess, fighting back in some vain attempt to throw him off, and finally succumbing to their inevitable fate by his hands. And then, as icing on the cake, is the payoff. Jordi doesn't work cheap, and a paycheck in his hands makes every ounce of danger absolutely worth it as far as he's concerned. So, yes, outside and inside he loves his job, plain and simple.

If we're talking about emotions while he's actually doing his job, and what he's feeling when he's dealing with a mark, the only word to describe it is numb. After so much exposure to this or that, people can become desensitized to damn near anything - not everyone, of course, but many do, and Jordi is one who has. There's a thrill in the act as a whole, but on a deeper level, he doesn't feel any which way about it. So, say he's got a gig to put a bullet between some dude's eyes. There will be no question in his mind, no hesitation based on morals or whatever, nothing. If there's a fight before he does his thing, then you better believe he'll be enjoying that part, but when it comes down to the final act, he's entirely numb to it. Cold, ruthless. Feeling nothing more than someone might stocking shelves or filing papers.

He could literally shoot a target in the face, turn to someone else and be like "Let's go get ice cream", like nothing insane just happened. He's that detached from it.

There's exceptions to everything, of course, and every once in a while, he might stumble across a target that manages to break that wall and tug at his heartstrings. There have been a handful, no doubt about that, but...that's just it. There have only been a handful. Still, it's not impossible that he'll come off a job dragging his feet, run down and battered mentally and emotionally because of what he had to do. Those, when coupled with the what ifs mentioned above were wicked combinations that had him feeling some kind of way to which he couldn't quite put a name. But, those were counted as "bad days at work" and dismissed. Jordi doesn't dwell on them; tries not to think about them at all, really, and because there are so few occurrences, he's usually successful.

To him, there are more positives than negatives anyway, as far as he's concerned, so how could he not love it? All in all, he thoroughly enjoys his job, due in large part to the fact that he is emotionally numb to what otherwise might be traumatic - or at least jarring situations. So, whether he's on a delivery job or assassinating some big shot, it's all the same in his world.

It literally is "just business".
